Abstract

Mezigdomide is a novel cereblon E3 ligase modulator (CELMoD) agent with enhanced autonomous cell-killing activity in multiple myeloma (MM) cells, and promising immunomodulatory and antitumor activity in patients with MM. We developed a population pharmacokinetics (PKs) model for mezigdomide in healthy subjects (HSs), and quantified effects of high-fat meal and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) on human disposition parameters. Plasma concentrations from 64 HS in two phase I clinical studies (NCT03803644 and NCT04211545) were used to develop a population PK model. The HSs received single oral doses of 0.4-3.2 mg mezigdomide with full PK profiles collected. A two-compartment linear PK model with first-order absorption and lag time best described mezigdomide PK profiles in HSs. The population PK parameters of absorption rate constant, lag time, central volume of distribution, clearance, peripheral volume of distribution, and intercompartmental clearance were estimated to be 1.18 h-1 (interoccasion variability [IOV]: 65%), 0.423 h (IOV: 31%), 440 L (interindividual variability [IIV]: 63%), 35.1 L/h (IIV: 40%), 243 L (IIV: 26%), and 36.8 L/h (IIV: 26%), respectively. High-fat meal increased oral bioavailability by ~30% and PPI co-administration decreased oral bioavailability by ~64%. Mezigdomide demonstrated a linear dose-exposure relationship in HSs. The PK model suggests a modest effect of high-fat meal, and a substantial effect of PPIs on mezigdomide oral bioavailability. This population PK model enables data integration across studies to identify important covariate effects and is being used to guide dose selection in clinical study designs for mezigdomide in patients with MM.
