ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Etirinotecan pegol (EP), a long-acting topoisomerase-1 inhibitor, is a polyethylene glycol conjugate of irinotecan, with an intended indication for treatment of breast cancer with brain metastases. The objective of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic (popPK) model of EP and four of its metabolites (irinotecan, SN38, SN38-glucuronide, and APC) and determine covariates affecting their pharmacokinetics.METHODS:
Data from 83 cancer patients enrolled in phase 1 studies were used. The model was developed in two stages (1) concentration-time data were analyzed with a 3-analyte model for EP, irinotecan, and SN38; and (2) a 5-analyte model developed based on expansion of 3-analyte model to include concentration-time data for SN38 glucuronide and APC with parameter values from 3-analyte model fixed. Covariate relationships with parameters were selected based on Wald's test within the Wald's Approximation Method approach, first for the 3-analyte model then the 5-analyte model.RESULTS:
The final integrated popPK model for the five analytes was a two-compartment per analyte model that followed the metabolic cascade of EP to irinotecan, followed by metabolism of irinotecan to the previously known metabolites, but with altered exposures as compared to administration of irinotecan. With the model developed based on total dose of EP, the population estimates of EP clearance and central volume were 0.237 L/h and 5.5 L, respectively. Patient age, body surface area (BSA), and estimated glomerular filtration rate were found to correlate with EP clearance and BSA with EP central volume. Individuals who were homozygous for UGT1A1*28 genotype had modestly reduced elimination capacity of SN38 compared to heterozygous and wild-type genotypes. Simulations evaluating the clinical importance of significant covariates indicated minimal change in areas under the curve and peak concentrations of EP and SN38.CONCLUSIONS:
The pharmacokinetics of EP and four metabolites including the active metabolite SN38 were described by an integrated popPK model. Other than BSA, which was already accounted by a BSA-based dosing scheme, no other covariates were deemed to have clinical implications. No EP starting dose adjustment based on patient demographics and other covariates was deemed necessary.Palabras clave
