Abstract 3014: Pharmacokinetics of the CDC7 inhibitor LY3143921 hydrate, a CRUK first-in-human phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumors

Background: LY3143921 hydrate is an orally administered ATP-competitive inhibitor of CDC7, a serine/threonine kinase regulatory protein overexpressed in many cancer types. Following successful preclinical studies, a first-in-human phase I trial of LY3143921 hydrate was initiated in patients with advanced solid tumors. We report the pharmacokinetics of LY3143921 hydrate in this ongoing Cancer Research UK study. Methods: Eligible patients were those with histologically proven advanced/metastatic solid tumors for which no further standard therapy options were available. Patients were administered LY3143921 hydrate as a single oral dose on Day -7, followed by daily administration (dose levels 30-270mg) or twice daily administration (dose levels 150 and 180mg) on study days 1-21. Drug administration was carried out with patients in either a fasted or fed state as shown in Table 1. Samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were obtained following a single drug dose on Day -7 at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Additional samples were taken on Day 1 of treatment at doses of 150 and 180mg to investigate potential differences in pharmacokinetics in fed versus fasted states (Day -7 fed versus Day 1 fasted). Samples were analysed using a validated LC-MS/MS assay with a LLOQ of 0.1 ng/mL. Pharmacokinetic analysis was carried out using Certara WinNonlin software (version 6.3) to determine Cmax, Tmax, area under the curve (AUC), plasma half-life, apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) and apparent clearance (CL/F) of LY3143921 hydrate. Assessment of dose proportionality was made by assessment of graphical plots of AUC versus dose level.

Overall dose-dependent increases in exposure (based on Cmax and AUC) were observed. There was a general trend towards higher Cmax and AUC values following administration in a fasted versus fed state following a dose of 180 mg, but this was inconsistent across the limited number of patients for who these data were available on both Day -7 (fed) and Day 1 (fasted). Conclusion: The pharmacokinetic data generated to date are consistent with dose dependent increases in drug exposure observed with a flat dosing regimen for LY3143921 hydrate.
