Effect of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor and inducer on the pharmacokinetics of senaparib (IMP4297) in healthy volunteers: A drug-drug interaction study.

Abstract

A phase I open-label study assessed the effect of multiple oral doses of a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor (itraconazole) and inducer (rifampicin) on the pharmacokinetic profile of a single oral dose of senaparib, a novel, highly potent poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1/2 inhibitor and CYP3A4 substrate, in Chinese healthy male volunteers (HMV). Adult HMV were enrolled to the itraconazole or rifampicin group (n = 16 each). In Period 1, all participants received a single oral dose of senaparib 40 mg (itraconazole group) or 100 mg (rifampicin group). In Period 2, the same dose was coadministered with itraconazole (200 mg) and rifampicin (600 mg), respectively. The primary endpoints were senaparib exposure parameters. Coadministration with itraconazole significantly increased exposure of senaparib and decreased that of its major metabolites M9 and M14. Maximum plasma senaparib concentration (Cmax ) was increased by ~79% and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased by ~2.8-fold. Coadministration with rifampicin significantly reduced the Cmax and AUC of senaparib by ~59 and 83%, respectively. The Cmax for both M9 and M14 was slightly increased, although AUC was decreased. All treatment-emergent adverse events were grade ≤2, regardless of the treatment administered. In Chinese HMV, the exposure of senaparib was significantly increased when coadministered with itraconazole and significantly decreased when coadministered with rifampicin. It is recommended to avoid concomitant use of senaparib and strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4.
