A Relative Bioavailability Study Evaluating Two New Encorafenib Formulations

AUCinf for encorafenib eMCC, eMCCL and CAP formulations (75 mg, single dose administration), and for encorafenib eMCC and eMCCL formulations (75 mg, single dose administration) following 5 days of rabeprazole 20 mg daily were calculated by AUClast + (Clast/kel), where AUClast was the area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero to last quantifiable concentration, Clast was the predicted plasma concentration at the last quantifiable time point estimated from the log-linear regression analysis, and kel was first-order elimination rate constant.

Cmax for encorafenib eMCC, eMCCL and CAP formulations (75 mg, single dose administration), and for encorafenib eMCC and eMCCL formulations (75 mg, single dose administration) following 5 days of rabeprazole 20 mg daily were observed directly from data.

AUClast for encorafenib eMCC, eMCCL and CAP formulations (75 mg, single dose administration), and for encorafenib eMCC and eMCCL formulations (75 mg, single dose administration) following 5 days of rabeprazole 20 mg daily were calculated using Linear/Log trapezoidal method.

Tmax for encorafenib eMCC, eMCCL and CAP formulations (75 mg, single dose administration), and for encorafenib eMCC and eMCCL formulations (75 mg, single dose administration) following 5 days of rabeprazole 20 mg daily were observed directly from data as time of first occurrence.

t½ for encorafenib eMCC, eMCCL and CAP formulations (75 mg, single dose administration), and for encorafenib eMCC and eMCCL formulations (75 mg, single dose administration) following 5 days of rabeprazole 20 mg daily were calculated by Loge(2)/kel, where kel is the terminal phase rate constant calculated by a linear regression of the log-linear concentration time curve.

CL/F for encorafenib eMCC, eMCCL and CAP formulations (75 mg, single dose administration), and for encorafenib eMCC and eMCCL formulations (75 mg, single dose administration) following 5 days of rabeprazole 20 mg daily were calculated by Dose/AUCinf after oral dose.

Vz/F for encorafenib eMCC, eMCCL and CAP formulations (75 mg, single dose administration), and for encorafenib eMCC and eMCCL formulations (75 mg, single dose administration) following 5 days of rabeprazole 20 mg daily were calculated by Dose/(AUCinf * kel) after oral dose.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as an AE: 1. resulting in death, 2. was life-threatening, 3. required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 4. resulted in persistent disability, 5. was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered to be an important medical event. Any AEs occurring following start of treatment were considered as treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE). Events that occurred during follow-up within the lag time of up to 28 days after the last encorafenib dose were counted as treatment emergent and attributed to the last treatment taken. Events that occurred during the washout period (up to 28 days from the last treatment) between study periods were counted as treatment emergent and attributed to the previous treatment taken.

Haematological, clinical chemistry (serum) and urinalysis safety tests were assessed against the criteria specified in the sponsor reporting standards. The assessment did not take into account whether each participants's baseline test result was within or outside the laboratory reference range for the particular laboratory parameter. The baseline measurement for safety laboratory tests for all periods was the predose measurement on Day -1 of Period 1. Only those categories in which at least 1 participant had data were reported.

Supine blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate (PR) were measured at times specified. For Periods 1 to 3, the baseline measurement was the predose measurement on Day -1 of each period. For Period 4, the baseline measurement was the predose measurement on Day -1 of Period 3. The reported categories included: systolic blood pressure (SBP)>=90mmHg; change from baseline (CFB) in SBP>=30mmHg; diastolic blood pressure (DBP)<50mmHg; CFB in DBP>=20mmHg; PR<40 beats per minute (bpm) or PR>120bpm. Only those categories in which at least 1 participant had data were provided.

Absolute values and changes from baseline in PR, QT, QRS, heart rate and QTcF were summarized by protocol pre-defined categorization criterion. QTcF were derived using Fridericia's heart rate correction formula. For each period, triplicate ECGs were conducted predose on Day 1; all other ECG measurements were single ECGs. The baseline ECG value was the average of the triplicate ECG measurements collected before dose administration on Day 1. Changes from baseline were defined as the change between the postdose ECG measurement and the derived baseline ECG.
