Effect of Multiple Doses of Modafinil on the Pharmacokinetics of Single Dose Lorlatinib in Healthy Participants

PHASE 1, OPEN-LABEL, FIXED SEQUENCE, 2-PERIOD STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF MULTIPLE DOSES OF MODAFINIL ON THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF SINGLE DOSE LORLATINIB (PF-06463922) IN HEALTHY PARTICIPANTS

The primary purpose of the study is to characterize the safety profile of lorlatinib in the presence of a moderate CYP3A4/5 inducer, modafinil. In another drug-drug interaction study for lorlatinib coadministered with a strong CYP3A4/5 inducer, rifampin, all participants experienced increases in liver enzymes after receiving the combination of a single dose lorlatinib (100 mg) with rifampin (600 mg daily (QD)) after multiple doses of rifampin. The AST and ALT continued to increase over the next 24-48 hours, but recovered below the upper limit of normal for all participants upon discontinuation of rifampin.

We hypothesize the combination of lorlatinib with the moderate CYP3A inducer modafinil will not have a safety findings related to liver enzyme elevation similar to what occurred in the study with rifampin and lorlatinib.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Volunteers; Adult; Drug Interactions; Humans
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Lorlatinib 50 mg; Drug: Lorlatinib 75 mg; Drug: Lorlatinib 100 mg

Detailed Description

This will be a Phase 1 study in approximately 16 healthy participants employing administration of a single dose of lorlatinib in the fasted state alone, and with multiple doses of modafinil 400 mg once daily. This study will consist of up to 3 lorlatinib treatment groups: 50, 75, or 100 mg single doses of lorlatinib given alone and in combination with multiple doses of modafinil.

Each enrolled participant will receive lorlatinib 50, 75, or 100 mg alone in Period 1 and then lorlatinib 50, 75, or 100 mg in combination with multiple dose modafinil in Period 2 after a washout period of at least 19 days between lorlatinib doses in Periods 1 and 2. A single PK sample is taken prior to lorlatinib dosing in each period. Following administration of lorlatinib in each period, participants will undergo serial PK sampling.

There will be 4 cohorts. Cohorts 1 to 3 will include 2 participants each, while Cohort 4 will include 10 participants. Participants in Cohorts 1 to 4 will be sequentially enrolled such that participants in a new cohort can receive their lorlatinib Period 2 dose only after participants from the prior cohort are 72 hours past their lorlatinib Period 2 combination dose (with modafinil) with no safety concerns. In addition, Cohorts 1 to 3 will employ sentinel dosing such that the second participant in each cohort can receive their lorlatinib Period 2 dose only after the first participant from the same cohort is 72 hours past their lorlatinib and modafinil Period 2 combination dose with no safety concerns. Participants in Cohort 4 may be dosed in parallel, as sentinel dosing of lorlatinib 100 mg will have been completed in Cohort 3. The overall study design will be identical in all 4 cohorts, with the only difference being the dose of lorlatinib administered.

The decision to dose subsequent cohorts during Period 2 with lorlatinib will be made after reviewing the totality of the participants' clinical picture for safety by the investigator. Furthermore, participants in subsequent cohorts will not be dosed if the following liver function abnormalities are observed during the 72 hour time frame for safety evaluation after lorlatinib dosing in Period 2.

For enrollment of each successive cohort, the period of safety evaluation will be at least 72 hours after the Period 2 lorlatinib dosing in the previous cohort. During Period 2, safety laboratory assessments including urinalysis, hematology and chemistry will be performed once daily from Day 14 through Day 20. Only after the review of safety labs for at least 72 hours after lorlatinib+ modafinil dosing during Period 2 of the previous cohort, will participants in a new cohort receive lorlatinib in combination with modafinil in their Period 2. Additional safety laboratory assessments may be performed at any additional times at the discretion of the investigator. If safety events of concern are observed in Cohorts 1, 2, or 3 during Period 2, this study will be terminated.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Treatment-Related Adverse Events (AEs)	Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. Serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to Y days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Relatedness to Drug X was assessed by the investigator (Yes/No). Participants with multiple occurrences of an AE within a category were counted once within the category.	Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of modafinil or lorlatinib.
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Laboratory Abnormalities	Laboratory parameters included: hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell, platelet and white blood cell count, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils and lymphocytes), chemistry (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, sodium, potassium, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, total protein and serum pregnancy test [for all female participants]) and urine (urine pregnancy test [for all female participants]). Clinical significance of laboratory parameters was determined at the investigator's discretion.	Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of modafinil or lorlatinib.
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Change From Baseline in Vital Signs	Vital signs (temperature, respiratory rate, pulse, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) were obtained with participant in the seated position, after having sat calmly for at least 5 minutes. Clinical significance of vital signs was determined at the investigator's discretion.	Baseline up to 28 days after last dose of modafinil or lorlatinib.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time (AUCinf) of lorlatinib	AUCinf = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0-inf). It is obtained from AUC (0-t) plus AUC (t-inf).	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-dose in both Period 1 and Period 2.
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of lorlatinib	Maximum observed plasma concentration.	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-dose in both Period 1 and Period 2.
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast) of lorlatinib	Area under the plasma concentration time-curve from zero to the last measured concentration (AUClast).	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-dose in both Period 1 and Period 2.
Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F) of lorlatinib	Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-dose in both Period 1 and Period 2.

Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of lorlatinib	Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-dose in both Period 1 and Period 2.
Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of lorlatinib	Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.	0 (pre-dose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-dose in both Period 1 and Period 2.
