Acalabrutinib is a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor approved for relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. A major metabolite of acalabrutinib (M27, ACP-5862) was observed in human plasma circulation. Subsequently, the metabolite was purified from an in vitro biosynthetic reaction and shown by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to be a pyrrolidine ring-opened ketone/amide.

Using richly sampled pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data from healthy volunteers, a population PK/PD model was developed.A population PK (PPK) model described the PK characteristics of navtemadlin and its major metabolite acyl glucuronide (M1) and quantified enterohepatic recirculation (EHR).

Healthy subjects (N = 30) were randomized to 3 treatment sequences, A: new tablet, fasted (reference, dosed twice); B: new tablet, 30 minutes after a high-fat meal (test 1); C: old tablet, fasted (test 2). PK/pharmacodynamic parameters were measured over 0 to 96 hours.

This study investigated the impact of hepatic impairment (HI) on acalabrutinib pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety at a single 50-mg dose in fasted subjects. This study was divided into 2 parts: study 1, an open-label, parallel-group study in Child-Pugh class A or B subjects and healthy subjects; and study 2, an open-label, parallel-group study in Child-Pugh class C subjects and healthy subjects.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcalabrutinib (Calquence®) 100 mg (bid) has received accelerated approval by FDA for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy. Acalabrutinib is a substrate of PgP and CYP3A4, with a significant fraction of drug metabolized by first pass gut extraction and 25% absolute bioavailability. The absorption of acalabrutinib is affected by stomach pH, with lower pharmacokinetic exposure observed following co-administration with proton pump inhibitors.
