Rivaroxaban Sotorasib Interaction Study

Objective:

To assess the pharmacokinetics of single dose rivaroxaban in presence and absence of 960 mg sotorasib at pharmacokinetic steady-state

Main study parameters/endpoints:

The geometric mean ratios of area under the concentration time curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) of rivaroxaban in absence and presence of sotorasib, and their corresponding 90% confidence intervals.

Study design:

An open label single-sequence pharmacokinetic drug-drug interaction study in healthy volunteers.

Study population:

Healthy human volunteers aged between 18 and 65. Volunteers can't participate in this study if they have an increased risk for bleeding or blood clotting. Furthermore, volunteers receiving concomitant drugs with a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction with the investigational medicinal products will also be excluded.

Intervention:

The pharmacokinetics of a single dose rivaroxaban are assessed in presence and absence of sotorasib. The study participants will receive rivaroxaban (20 mg single dose ingested with food) on day 1, followed by a wash-out period on day 1 and 2, followed by daily administration of sotorasib 960 mg once daily on day 3-16 and rivaroxaban (20 mg single dose ingested with food) on day 16.

The pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban will be assessed at T=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after administration on the days that rivaroxaban is administered.

The pharmacokinetics of sotorasib will be assessed at T=0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24h after administration on day 16.

Ethical consideration to the clinical trial including the expected benefit to the individual subject or group of patients represented by the study participants as well as the nature and extent of burden and risks: A drug-drug interaction study in patients on sotorasib is not considered feasible and methodologically sound, due to high co-morbidity and polypharmacy in patients with an indication for treatment with sotorasib. Single dose pharmacokinetic rivaroxaban studies in healthy volunteers are common and the gold standard to assess the impact of drug-drug interactions with DOACs. Single and multiple dose studies of sotorasib in healthy volunteers are considered and proven safe, likely due to high selectivity of the drug for KRAS G12C mutation that is only present in tumor cells of individuals with KRAS G12C mutated cancer. There is no individual benefit for participation in the study.

Inclusion criteria

• A prothrombin time (PT) > 13.3 seconds.
• An activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) >38 seconds.
• Clinically significant pathologies of the cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary, neuroendocrine systems, as well as diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys and blood.
• Documented history of sensitivity/idiosyncrasy to medicinal products or excipients.
• Female subject is pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during treatment and for an additional 7 days after the last dose of sotorasib.
• Female subjects of childbearing potential unwilling to use an effective method of contraception during treatment and for an additional 7 days after the last dose of sotorasib.
• Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential who are unwilling to practice sexual abstinence (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception during treatment and for an additional 7 days after the last dose of sotorasib.
• Male subjects unwilling to abstain from donating sperm during treatment and for an additional 7 days after the last dose of sotorasib.
• Consumption of foods and beverages containing poppy seeds, St. Johns Wort, grapefruit, or Seville oranges within 7 days prior to check-in.
• Concomitant use of drugs, including herbs and food additives, with a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction, as assessed with most recent KNMP kennisbank and uptodate.com drug interaction databases.
• Donation of plasma or blood (450ml or more) less than 2 months before start of the study.
• Relevant history or current condition that might interfere with drug absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion.
• History of or current abuse of drugs or alcohol.
• Inability to understand the nature and extent of the study and the procedures required.
• Febrile illness within 3 days before Day 1.
• History of internal bleeding of any genesis.
• Known present congenital or acquired bleeding disorders.
• History of liver disease.
• History suggestive of esophageal (including esophageal spasm, esophagitis), gastric, or duodenal ulceration or bowel disease (including but not limited to peptic ulceration, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or irritable bowel syndrome); or a history of gastrointestinal surgery other than uncomplicated appendectomy.
• Known gastrointestinal disease without active ulceration that can potentially lead to bleeding complications.
• History of vascular retinopathy.
• Known bronchiectasis.
• History of pulmonary bleeding.
• The following conditions known in medical history: coronary heart disease, previous cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischaemic attack.
• Positive Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HepBsAg) (indicative of chronic Hepatitis B or recent acute hepatitis B). Negative HepBsAg with a positive for hepatitis B core antibody (Hepatitis B core antibody testing is not required for screening, however if this is done and is positive, then hepatitis B surface antibody [anti-HBs] testing is necessary. Undetectable anti-HBs in this setting would suggest unclear and possible infection and needs exclusion).
• Positive Hepatitis C virus antibody: Hepatitis C virus RNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is necessary. Detectable Hepatitis C virus RNA suggests chronic hepatitis C.
