Characterization of the Relationship of Inotuzumab Ozogamicin Exposure With Efficacy and Safety End Points in Adults With Relapsed or Refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), an anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody conjugated to calicheamicin, is approved in Europe and the United States for treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Population analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between InO exposure and efficacy and safety end points in patients with ALL. The probability of achieving complete remission/complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CR/CRi) and minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity for InO relative to chemotherapy was also investigated. Data from study 1010 (NCT01363297) and INO-VATE (NCT01564784) were pooled for exposure-response (InO, n = 234) and treatment-response (InO, n = 234; chemotherapy, n = 143) analyses. The analyses demonstrated that InO exposure was significantly correlated with achieving CR/CRi and MRD-negativity, as well as with hepatic event adjudication board-reported veno-occlusive disease/sinusoidal obstruction. Patients with ALL treated with InO had significantly greater odds of achieving CR/CRi (7-times higher) and MRD-negativity (13-times higher) than those receiving chemotherapy.

Pharmacokinetic Models to Characterize the Absorption Phase and the Influence of a Proton Pump Inhibitor on the Overall Exposure of Dacomitinib.

INTRODUCTION: Dacomitinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor approved for the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the first line in patients with EGFR activating mutations. Dacomitinib is taken orally once daily at 45 mg with or without food, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. Oncology patients often can develop gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which may require management with an acid-reducing agent. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as rabeprazole, inhibit sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+-ATPase) pumps that stimulate acid secretion in the stomach and have a prolonged pharmacodynamic effect that extends beyond 24 h post-administration. The aim of this work was to characterize the absorption of dacomitinib via modeling with a particular interest in quantifying the impact of rabeprazole on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of dacomitinib. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The pooled dataset consisted of five clinical pharmacology healthy volunteer studies, which collected serial pharmacokinetic concentration-time profiles of dacomitinib. Non-linear mixed effects modeling was carried out to characterize dacomitinib pharmacokinetics in the presence and absence of the concomitant use of a PPI, rabeprazole. Several absorption models, some more empirical, and some more physiologically based, were tested: transit compartment, first-order absorption with and without lag time, and variations of combined zero- and first-order absorption kinetics models. RESULTS: The presence of a PPI was a significant covariate affecting the extent (F) and rate (ka) of dacomitinib absorption, as previously reported in the dedicated clinical study. A transit compartment model was able to best describe the absorption phase of dacomitinib.
