RESUMO
In this randomized, open-label, 2-part, 2 × 2 crossover, phase 1 study, the effect of a low-fat low-calorie (LFLC) meal on the relative bioavailability of a trametinib 2-mg tablet or dabrafenib 150-mg capsule was evaluated in healthy participants. Trametinib adjusted geometric mean ratios (90%CI) of fed : fasted for area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration and AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity were 0.76 (0.71-0.82) and 0.82 (0.77-0.88), respectively. For dabrafenib, the adjusted geometric mean ratios of AUC from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration and AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (90%CI) for fed:fasted were 0.85 (0.79-0.91) and 0.86 (0.80-0.92), respectively. Consumption of an LFLC meal delayed trametinib and dabrafenib absorption, with an increase in time to maximum concentration of ≈15 and ≈30 minutes, respectively, compared to the fasted state. These findings indicate that consumption of an LFLC meal reduced the bioavailability and delayed the absorption of trametinib and dabrafenib, supporting current recommendations to administer both drugs in the fasting state; however, an occasional LFLC meal is unlikely to affect the pharmacokinetics of the drugs once steady state is reached and, by consequence, not likely to alter the overall intended efficacy.
