Abstract
Background and objective: Binimetinib is approved for multiple indications at a therapeutic dose of 45 mg twice a day (BID), in combination with encorafenib. A clinical hepatic impairment (HI) study was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of a single oral dose of binimetinib in participants with mild, moderate, and severe HI compared with demographically matched healthy participants with respect to age, gender, and body weight.
Methods: Participants were enrolled according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) classification criteria for hepatic function based on their total bilirubin and aspartate aminotransferase levels at screening. Participants enrolled into Group 1 (normal hepatic function) were matched to participants enrolled into Groups 2, 3, and 4 (mild, moderate, and severe HI, respectively) with respect to age, gender, and body weight. Dose-normalized PK parameters were evaluated because of a difference in doses for the severe HI group compared to the other groups, with the dose reduction due to the increased exposures observed in the moderate HI group.
Results: Among 27 PK evaluable participants, changes in binimetinib dose-normalized PK parameters Cmax/D and AUCinf/D were minimal in participants with mild HI compared to the normal hepatic function group. Both the moderate and severe HI groups had significant changes as AUCinf/D increased by 81% and 111%, respectively, compared to the normal hepatic function group. Unbound AUClast/D for the moderate and severe HI groups increased by 280% and 248% compared to the normal hepatic function group, respectively.
Conclusion: Based on these findings on total and unbound exposures, dose reductions are recommended for binimetinib in cancer patients with moderate and severe HI.
Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02050815, registered 29 January 2014.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Pharmacokinetics promotes the continuing development of clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics for the improvement of drug therapy, and for furthering postgraduate education in clinical pharmacology and therapeutics.
Pharmacokinetics, the study of drug disposition in the body, is an integral part of drug development and rational use. Knowledge and application of pharmacokinetic principles leads to accelerated drug development, cost effective drug use and a reduced frequency of adverse effects and drug interactions.
