Background: The PI3K/AKT and androgen-receptor pathways are dysregulated in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancers (mCRPCs); tumours with functional PTEN-loss status have hyperactivated AKT signalling. Dual pathway inhibition with AKT inhibitor ipatasertib plus abiraterone might have greater benefit than abiraterone alone. We aimed to compare ipatasertib plus abiraterone with placebo plus abiraterone in patients with previously untreated mCRPC with or without tumour PTEN loss.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIpatasertib is a pan-AKT inhibitor in development for the treatment of cancer. Ipatasertib was metabolized by CYP3A4 to its major metabolite, M1 (G-037720), and was a P-gp substrate and OATP1B1/1B3 inhibitor in vitro. A phase I drug-drug interaction (DDI) study ( = 15) was conducted in healthy subjects to evaluate the effect of itraconazole (200-mg solution QD, 4 days), a strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitor, on pharmacokinetics of ipatasertib (100-mg single dose).
