A Pharmacokinetics Study to Investigate the Effect of Vemurafenib on Digoxin in Patients With BRAFV600 Mutation-Positive Metastatic Melanoma

This open-label, multi-center, three-period, one sequence study will investigate the effect of vemurafenib on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin in patients with unresectable BRAFV600-mutation positive metastatic melanoma or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF without acceptable standard treatment options. Patients will receive multiple doses of vemurafenib in Periods B and C and a single dose of digoxin in Periods A and C. Eligible patients will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study (NCT01739764). The anticipated time on study treatment is approximately 36 days.

    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 PK modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.
