This phase 1, open-label crossover study evaluated the relative bioavailability of dacomitinib in healthy volunteers under fed and fasted conditions and following coadministration with rabeprazole, a potent acid-reducing proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Twenty-four male subjects received a single dacomitinib 45-mg dose under 3 different conditions separated by washout periods of ≥ 16 days: coadministered with rabeprazole 40 mg under fasting conditions; alone under fasting conditions; and alone after a high-fat, high-calorie meal. Increased peak exposure of 23.

Tofacitinib is a novel, oral JAK inhibitor that is being investigated as a targeted immunomodulator. Tofacitinib is predominantly metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C19. Two Phase 1, randomized, open-label, single sequence studies in 24 healthy subjects (12 per study) characterized the effects of fluconazole (moderate CYP3A4/potent CYP2C19 inhibitor) and ketoconazole (potent CYP3A4 inhibitor) on tofacitinib pharmacokinetics.

Dacomitinib is currently in development for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Formation of the major circulating metabolite (PF-05199265) is mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP2C9. This phase I, single fixed-sequence, two-period study evaluated the effect of paroxetine, a CYP2D6 inactivator, on dacomitinib pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers who were extensive CYP2D6 metabolizers.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the primary routes of elimination of the pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, dacomitinib (PF-00299804), to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of total radioactivity and of dacomitinib and to identify the metabolites of dacomitinib in plasma, urine, and feces in the healthy volunteers.

Methods: Six male healthy volunteers (mean age 31.5 years) received a single 45-mg oral dose containing ~100 μCi [(14)C] dacomitinib.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of food on axitinib pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers with two different crystal polymorphs.

Methods: Two separate open-label, randomized, single-dose, three-period, crossover trials were conducted. Study I, conducted first using 5-mg axitinib Form IV film-coated immediate-release (FCIR) tablets, enrolled 18 subjects to compare fed versus fasted states and 24 subjects to evaluate the effect of timing of food consumption on axitinib pharmacokinetics.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of a single 45-mg dose of dacomitinib (PF-00299804), an irreversible small-molecule inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptors-1, -2, and -4, on CYP2D6 activity in healthy volunteers (HV) using dextromethorphan (DM), a selective CYP2D6 probe.

Methods: Fourteen male HVs were enrolled in this open-label, randomized, cross-over, single-dose study of DM alone or with dacomitinib. Each HV received both treatments separated by a 14-day washout period.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of a single, oral axitinib dose in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment.

Methods: In this phase I, open-label, parallel-group study, a total of 24 subjects with either normal hepatic function (n = 8) or with mild (n = 8) or moderate (n = 8) hepatic impairment were administered a single, oral dose of axitinib (5 mg). Blood samples were collected at intervals up to 144 h following dosing, and plasma pharmacokinetics and safety were assessed.

This phase I, open-label, single-dose study evaluates the effects of severe renal impairment and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis on the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of sunitinib and its primary active metabolite, SU12662. Subjects with normal renal function (creatinine clearance > 80 mL/min), severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min), and ESRD requiring hemodialysis receive a single dose of sunitinib 50 mg. Serial blood samples are collected for quantification of plasma concentrations using a validated liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry assay.
