The Effect of Modafinil on the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Lorlatinib: A Phase I Study in Healthy Participants.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Lorlatinib is a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the second-line treatment of patients with advanced anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Lorlatinib is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and contraindicated with strong CYP3A inducers because of significant transaminase elevation. This phase I, open-label, two-period study evaluated the impact of a moderate CYP3A inducer, modafinil, on the safety and pharmacokinetics of lorlatinib.

Methods

Healthy participants received single-dose oral lorlatinib (50 mg [n = 2], 75 mg [n = 2], or 100 mg [n = 2 + 10 in an expanded cohort]) in Period 1 followed by modafinil 400 mg/day (days 1-19) and single-dose lorlatinib (day 15, same dose as previous) both orally
