PURPOSE: Bosutinib (SKI-606), a dual Src/Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is in clinical development for the treatment of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). To support clinical development, we conducted a dose-escalation and food-effect evaluation of safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of bosutinib in healthy adults. METHODS: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending dose, sequential-group study of oral bosutinib. Subjects randomly received bosutinib 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg with food; 200 and 400 mg without food; or placebo. Plasma concentrations were determined by a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. Non-compartmental PK analyses were performed, and power models assessed dose linearity. RESULTS: Of 55 enrolled subjects, 33 (81%) subjects had adverse events (AEs) after receiving bosutinib. Common AEs included diarrhea (39%), nausea (29%), and headache (22%). Bosutinib 200-600 mg with food was safe and well tolerated. Bosutinib exposures (C (max) and AUC) were linear and dose proportional from 200 to 800 mg with food. Absorption was relatively slow; median time to C (max) was 6 h. Apparent volume of distribution (V (z)/F) was 131-214 L/kg, mean apparent clearance (CL/F) was 2.25-3.81 L/h/kg, and mean terminal elimination half-life (t (1/2)) was 32-39 h. Preliminary food effect assessment showed that exposure to bosutinib increased by ~2.52-fold (P = 0.002) for C (max) and ~2.28-fold (P = 0.002) for AUC when 200 mg bosutinib was administered with food compared with administration under fasting conditions; administration of 400 mg bosutinib with food increased AUC by ~1.5-fold (P = 0.037). Approximately 1% of administered dose was excreted in urine. CONCLUSIONS: Bosutinib 200-600 mg with food was safe and well tolerated. Under fed conditions, bosutinib exposures were linear and dose proportional, and C (max) increased by ~1.5-fold. The t (1/2) supported a once-daily dosing regimen.
