Abstract CT125: Evaluation of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between futibatinib and CYP3A inhibitors/inducers, CYP3A substrates, or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)

Abstract

Abstract Background Futibatinib is an oral, irreversible FGFR1-4 inhibitor with clinical activity in cholangiocarcinoma and other FGFR-aberrant tumors. The recommended futibatinib dosage is 20 mg once daily (QD). In vitro studies have shown that futibatinib is predominantly metabolized by and inhibits cytochrome p450 3A (CYP3A); futibatinib is also a P-glycoprotein substrate. Two phase 1 studies were performed in healthy volunteers to evaluate potential DDIs between futibatinib and CYP3A substrates (midazolam; study 1) or CYP3A inhibitors/inducers (itraconazole/rifampin; study 2). As the solubility of futibatinib is pH dependent, study 3 assessed the effect of PPI (lansoprazole) coadministration on futibatinib pharmacokinetics (PK). Methods All 3 studies, conducted in adult nonsmokers, were open-label, fixed-sequence, 2-period cross-over studies with a 1- or 2-d washout between each period. In study 1, midazolam 2 mg was given on d1 of period 1 (-futibatinib) and on d7 of period 2 (+futibatinib 20 mg QD d1-7). In study 2, futibatinib 20 mg was given on d1 of period 1 (alone) and on d5 (+itraconazole 200 mg QD d1-6) or d8 (+rifampin 600 mg QD d1-9) of period 2. In study 3, futibatinib 20 mg was given on d1 of period 1 (-lansoprazole) and d5 of period 2 (+lansoprazole 60 mg QD d1-5). Plasma samples for PK assessment were collected predose through 24 h post-midazolam dosing (study 1) and predose through 48 h post-futibatinib dosing (studies 2 and 3). Results In study 1 (N=24), coadministration of futibatinib did not result in clinically significant changes in midazolam PK, based on the area under the concentration curve extrapolated to the last measurable time (AUC0-t; -9%) or infinity (AUC0-inf; -9%) or maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; -5%), compared with midazolam alone. In study 2 (N=40), relative to futibatinib administered alone, coadministration with itraconazole increased futibatinib Cmax (+51%) and plasma exposure (AUC0-t and AUC0-inf +41% each), whereas coadministration with rifampin decreased futibatinib Cmax (-53%) and plasma exposure (AUC0-t and AUC0-inf -64% each). In study 3 (N=20), coadministration of lansoprazole did not result in clinically significant changes in futibatinib PK parameters vs futibatinib alone (AUC0-t +5%; AUC0-inf +5%; Cmax +8%). Agents were well tolerated, and all 3 studies were completed with no clinically relevant safety signals. Conclusions Futibatinib is not expected to affect the exposure of concomitant medications metabolized via CYP3A, the most common drug metabolism pathway. Caution should be exercised when coadministering strong CYP3A inducers or inhibitors with futibatinib, as significant DDIs were observed with itraconazole and rifampin. Futibatinib can be concomitantly administered with PPIs with no clinically relevant impact on futibatinib exposure.
