Abstract 763: A phase 1 open-label study to investigate the potential drug-drug interaction (DDI) between single-dose (SD) dacomitinib (PF-00299804; DC) and steady-state (SS) paroxetine (PX) in healthy volunteers (HVs)

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: DC, a small molecule, pan-HER inhibitor, is partly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6. Concomitant administration with therapeutic agents that are inhibitors of CYP2D6 could potentially cause DDIs. This study evaluated the effect of PX, a potent CYP2D6 inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of DC in HVs who were extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers. The safety and tolerability of SD DC was also assessed when given alone and co-administered with PX. Methods: In this Phase 1, single fixed-sequence, 2-period study, 14 HVs received a 45 mg SD of DC alone (Period 1). After a 21-day washout, 30 mg of PX was given daily for 10 days (Period 2) and on Day 4, a 45 mg SD of DC was co-administered with PX. Blood samples were collected up to 240 h post DC dose in both periods and analyzed for DC, its CYP2D6 metabolite PF-05199265, and PX using validated high performance liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric methods. PK parameters were calculated using noncompartmental methods. Analysis of variance was performed on natural log transformed AUC and Cmax to estimate adjusted mean treatment differences and 90% confidence intervals (CI) which were exponentiated to produce the adjusted geometric mean ratio (GMR) and 90% CI of the ratios. Results: 14 males (median age 41 [23-54] yrs; 9 black, 5 Caucasian) were evaluated for PK and safety. The GMR and 90% CI of AUCinf and Cmax for DC when given as DC + PX vs DC alone was 137.2% (109.1%, 172.6%) and 110% (82.9%, 145.1%), respectively. Median Tmax of DC was 8 and 10 h post dose, and its half-life was 96 and 90 h, in the presence and absence of PX, respectively. Total exposure (AUC240) to PF-05199265 was decreased in the presence of SS PX (33.5 vs 322 ng.hr/mL). There were no serious adverse events (AEs), severe AEs, or deaths during the study. The majority of AEs were mild (including all 14 events reported during DC treatment alone) and resolved. Conclusions: PX inhibited DC metabolism resulting in 90% reduction in exposure (AUC240) of the CYP2D6 metabolite, PF-05199265. No meaningful change in absorption was observed when DC was given with SS concentrations of PX. DC seems to present a low extraction profile and high variability during the absorption phase, the latter probably due to its physicochemical characteristics (BCS Class II). In the presence of PX, there was an approximate 37% increase in DC exposure (AUCinf) with a wide CI, reflecting large intra-subject variability. The DC change in exposure reported in this study is likely to be less in the clinical setting (45 mg QD). As the exposure of DC reported in the presence of PX is within the range shown to be tolerated and efficacious, no dose adjustment is recommended for DC when administered concomitantly with a CYP2D6 inhibitor, such as PX. SD DC administered alone and in combination with PX was well tolerated. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].
