Evaluation of Safety and Clinically Relevant Drug-Drug Interactions with Tucatinib in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Tucatinib is approved for treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Understanding potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) informs proper dosing when co-administering tucatinib with other therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate DDIs between tucatinib and metabolizing enzymes and transporters in healthy volunteers.

Methods

Parts A-C assessed the impact of itraconazole (cytochrome P450 [CYP] 3A4 inhibitor), rifampin (CYP3A4/CYP2C8 inducer), or gemfibrozil (CYP2C8 inhibitor) on the pharmacokinetics of a single 300 mg dose of tucatinib administered orally and its primary metabolite, ONT-993. Parts D and E assessed the effect of steady-state tucatinib on the pharmacokinetics of repaglinide (CYP2C8 substrate), tolbutamide (CYP2C9 substrate), midazolam (CYP3A4 substrate), and digoxin (P-glycoprotein substrate).

Results

Tucatinib area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC_0-inf) increased by ~ 1.3- and 3.0-fold with itraconazole and gemfibrozil, respectively, and decreased by 48% with rifampin, indicating that tucatinib is metabolized primarily by CYP2C8, and to a lesser extent via CYP3A. Tucatinib was a strong inhibitor of CYP3A (midazolam AUC_0-inf increased 5.7-fold), a weak inhibitor of CYP2C8 and P-glycoprotein, and had no impact on CYP2C9-mediated metabolism in humans. Tucatinib was well tolerated, alone and with co-administered drugs.

Conclusion

The potential DDIs identified here may be mitigated by avoiding concomitant use of tucatinib with strong CYP3A inducers, moderate CYP2C8 inducers, CYP3A substrates with a narrow therapeutic window (modifying substrate dose where concomitant use is unavoidable), and strong CYP2C8 inhibitors (decreasing tucatinib dose where concomitant use is unavoidable), or by reducing the dose of P-glycoprotein substrates with a narrow therapeutic window.

Project description:BackgroundDrug-drug interactions (DDIs) may influence the effectiveness and safety of medication treatment, which may require additional monitoring, dose adjustment or avoidance of certain drugs. DDIs involving P-glycoprotein (P-gp) affect many drugs, but current official product information is often insufficient to guide the management of these DDIs in clinical practice. The aim of this paper is to describe a protocol to assess DDIs involving P-gp and to develop and implement practice recommendations for clinically relevant P-gp-mediated DDIs that affect clinical outcomes through changes in systemic drug exposure.MethodsA combined literature review and expert opinion approach will be used according to the following seven steps: set up an expert panel (step 1), establish core concepts and definitions (step 2), select potential P-gp-modulators (i.e., P-gp-inducers and -inhibitors) and P-gp-substrates to be evaluated (step 3), select and extract evidence-based data, and present findings in standardized assessment reports (step 4), discuss and adopt classifications and practice recommendations with the expert panel (step 5), publish and integrate information and alerts in clinical decision support systems (CDSS) (step 6), (re)assessments of DDIs and potential new DDIs when new information is available or when initiated by healthcare providers (step 7).Anticipated resultsThe expert panel will classify potential P-gp-modulators and -substrates as clinically relevant P-gp-inducer, -inhibitor and/or -substrate and draw conclusions about which combinations of classified modulators and substrates will lead to clinically relevant DDIs. This may include the extrapolation of conclusions for DDIs where limited or no data are available, based on the pharmacological characteristics of these drugs. For (potential) DDIs that are considered to be clinically relevant, practice recommendations will be developed.DiscussionThis protocol describes a standardized, evidence- and expert opinion-based assessment of P-gp-mediated DDIs that affect clinical outcomes. This approach will generate alerts with practice recommendations for clinically relevant DDIs and transparent rationales for DDIs that are considered to be irrelevant. These recommendations will improve individual patient care by supporting healthcare professionals to make consistent decisions on how to manage P-gp mediated DDIs.

Project description:Purpose: The combination therapy of rosuvastatin (RSV) and the platelet inhibitor clopidogrel (CP) is widely accepted in the management of cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the present study was to identify the mechanism of RSV-CP DDI and evaluate the risk of hepatotoxicity associated with the concomitant use of CP. Methods: We first studied the effect of CP and its major circulating metabolite, carboxylic acid metabolite (CPC), on RSV transport by overexpressing cells and membrane vesicles. Second, we investigated whether a rat model could replicate this DDI and then be used to conduct mechanistic studies and assess the risk of hepatotoxicity. Then, cytotoxicity assay in hepatocytes, biochemical examination, and histopathology were performed to measure the magnitude of liver injury in the presence and absence of DDI. Results: CP inhibited OATP1B1-mediated transport of RSV with an IC50 value of 27.39 μM. CP and CPC inhibited BCRP-mediated RSV transport with IC50 values of <0.001 and 5.96 μM, respectively. The CP cocktail (0.001 μM CP plus 2 μM CPC) significantly inhibited BCRP-mediated transport of RSV by 26.28%. Multiple p.o. doses of CP significantly increased intravenous RSV plasma AUC0-infinity by 76.29% and decreased intravenous RSV CL by 42.62%. Similarly, multiple p.o. doses of CP significantly increased p.o. RSV plasma AUC0-infinity by 87.48% and decreased p.o. RSV CL by 43.27%. CP had no effect on cell viability, while RSV exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity after 96 h incubation. Co-incubation of 100 μM CP and RSV for 96 h significantly increased intracellular concentrations and cell-to-medium concentration ratios of RSV and reduced hepatocyte viability. Histological evaluation of liver specimens showed patterns of drug-induced liver injury. Cholestasis was found in rats in the presence of DDI. Conclusion: CP is not a clinically relevant inhibitor for OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. The primary mechanism of RSV-CP DDI can be attributed to the inhibition of intestinal BCRP by CP combined with the inhibition of hepatic BCRP by CPC. The latter is likely to be more clinically relevant and be a contributing factor for increased hepatotoxicity in the presence of DDI.
