ABSTRACT
Acalabrutinib (Calquence®) 100â¯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. During dissolution at pH values below its highest basic pKa, the two basic moieties of acalabrutinib react with protons from the aqueous solution, leading to a higher pH at the drug surface than in the bulk solution. A batch-specific product particle size distribution (P-PSD), was derived from dissolution data using a mechanistic model that was based on the understanding of surface pH and the contribution of micelles to the dissolution rate. P-PSD values obtained for various batches of acalabrutinib products in simple buffers, or in complex fluids such as fruit juices, were successfully integrated into a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model developed using GastroPlus v9.0™. The integrated model allowed the prediction of clinical pharmacokinetics under normal physiological stomach pH conditions as well as following treatment with proton pump inhibitors. The model also accounted for lower pharmacokinetic exposure that was observed when acalabrutinib was co-administered with the acidic beverages, grapefruit juice, (which contains CYP3A inhibitors), and orange drink (which does not contain CYP3A inhibitors), relative to administration with water. The integration of dissolution data in the PBPK model enables mechanistic understanding and the establishment of more robust in vitro-in vivo correlations (IVIVC) under a variety of conditions. The model can then distinguish the interplay between dissolution and first pass extraction and how in vivo stomach pH, saturation of gut PgP, and saturation or inhibition of gut CYP3A4, will impact the pharmacokinetics of acalabrutinib.
