A Pharmacokinetics (PK) Study of the Effects Rabeprazole and Rifampin on Dabrafenib in Subjects With BRAF V600 Mutation Positive Tumors

The study is being conducted to evaluate the effect of rifampin (a strong CYP3A4 inducer) and rabeprazole (a pH elevating agent) on the PK of dabrafenib (a CYP3A4/CYP2C8 substrate). The study will be conducted in subjects with BRAF V600 mutation-positive tumors. Data collected from this study will be used to inform recommendations regarding use of concomitant medications with dabrafenib and future clinical pharmacologic evaluation of dabrafenib.

Subjects with moderate valvular thickening should not be entered on study.
  • Presence of active gastrointestinal (GI) disease or other condition (e.g., small bowel or large bowel resection) that will interfere significantly with the absorption of drugs. If clarification is needed as to whether a condition will significantly affect absorption of drugs, contact the GSK Medical Monitor.
  • A history of known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus, or Hepatitis C Virus infection.
  • Subjects with brain metastases are excluded if their brain metastases are: Symptomatic, Treated (surgery, radiation therapy) but not clinically and radiographically stable one month after local therapy, or asymptomatic and untreated but >1 centimeter (cm) in the longest dimension. Subjects with small (<=1 cm in the longest dimension), asymptomatic brain metastases that do not need immediate local therapy can be enrolled. Subjects on a stable dose of corticosteroids for >1 month, or those who have been off corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks can be enrolled. Subjects must also be off of enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants for more than 4 weeks.
