Brigatinib is an oral anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor approved for the treatment of ALK-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. In vitro studies indicated that brigatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 and inhibits P-gp, BCRP, OCT1, MATE1, and MATE2K. Clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies with the strong CYP3A inhibitor itraconazole or the strong CYP3A inducer rifampin demonstrated that CYP3A-mediated metabolism was the primary contributor to overall brigatinib clearance in humans. A physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for brigatinib was developed to predict potential DDIs, including the effect of moderate CYP3A inhibitors or inducers on brigatinib pharmacokinetics (PK) and the effect of brigatinib on the PK of transporter substrates. The developed model was able to predict clinical DDIs with itraconazole (area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity [AUC∞] ratio [with/without itraconazole]: predicted 1.86; observed 2.01) and rifampin (AUC∞ ratio [with/without rifampin]: predicted 0.16; observed 0.20). Simulations using the developed model predicted that moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., verapamil and diltiazem) may increase brigatinib AUC∞ by ~40%, whereas moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g., efavirenz) may decrease brigatinib AUC∞ by ~50%. Simulations of potential transporter-mediated DDIs predicted that brigatinib may increase systemic exposures (AUC∞) of P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin and dabigatran) by 15%-43% and MATE1 substrates (e.g., metformin) by up to 29%; however, negligible effects were predicted on BCRP-mediated efflux and OCT1-mediated uptake. The PBPK analysis results informed dosing recommendations for patients receiving moderate CYP3A inhibitors (40% brigatinib dose reduction) or inducers (up to 100% increase in brigatinib dose) during treatment, as reflected in the brigatinib prescribing information.

D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.

D012293 Rifampin A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis. Rifampin is bactericidal, and acts on both intracellular and extracellular organisms.
