PURPOSE:Erlotinib, N-(3-ethynylphenyl)-6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy) quinazolin-4-amine is approved for the treatment for non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. Because erlotinib is metabolized predominately by CYP3A4, co-administration of compounds that increase CYP3A4 activity may alter the efficacy and safety of erlotinib therapy. Two phase I studies were conducted in healthy male subjects to evaluate the effect of pre- or co-administered rifampicin, a CYP3A4 inducer, on the pharmacokinetics of erlotinib. METHODS: Study 1 included Groups A (erlotinib 150 mg days 1 and 15, rifampicin 600 mg days 8-14) and B (erlotinib 150 mg days 1 and 15) in a parallel group study design. Study 2 subjects received erlotinib 150 mg day 1, erlotinib 450 mg day 15, and rifampicin 600 mg days 8-18. The primary endpoint in each study was the ratio of exposure (AUC0-∞ and C max) between days 1 and 15. Urinary cortisol metabolic induction ratios were determined in Study 1 for Group A subjects only. RESULTS: In Study 1, the geometric mean ratios of AUC0-∞ and C max were 33 and 71 %, respectively, and the mean cortisol metabolic index increased from 7.4 to 27.0, suggesting cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme induction. In Study 2, the geometric mean ratios for AUC0-∞ and C max were 19 and 34 % (when dose adjusted from 450 to 150 mg erlotinib), respectively, a greater relative decrease than observed in Study 1. CONCLUSIONS:Erlotinib exposure (AUC0-∞ and C max) was reduced after pre- or concomitant dosing with rifampicin. Doses of ≥450 mg erlotinib may be necessary to compensate for concomitant medications with strong CYP3A4 enzyme induction effect.
