Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The following PK parameters for R* and S*acenocoumarol will be obtained using
non*compartmental analysis methods:
• Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from Time 0 to last
measurable concentration timepoint (AUC0*T)
• AUC from Time 0 to infinity (AUC0**)
• Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)
• Time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax)
• Terminal half-life (t1/2)
• Apparent clearance (CL/F)
Secondary outcome
The safety outcome measures for this study are as follows:
• Incidence, nature, and intensity (severity) of AEs and SAEs, graded according
to the
NCI CTCAE (Version 4.0)
Background summary
A drug-drug interaction study (NP22676) using a CYP450 probe cocktail was
conducted
in patients with metastatic melanoma to assess the effect of multiple doses of
vemurafenib on single doses of five CYP450 probe substrates: caffeine-CYP1A2,
warfarin-CYP2C9, omeprazole-CYP2C19, dextromethorphan-CYP2D6, and
midazolam*CYP3A4). In the study, caffeine exposure was increased approximately
2.6*fold (geometric mean ratio [GMR]) and midazolam exposure was decreased by
approximately 39% (GMR). Results suggested that vemurafenib might inhibit CYP1A2
activity and induce CYP3A4 activity in patients with melanoma. In the same
clinical
study, although S- warfarin exposure was increased by approximately 18% by
vemurafenib, the overall effect of vemurafenib on CYP2C9 activity was not
considered
significant, as the 90% CI met the bioequivalence range of 80%-125% (see the
Vemurafenib Package Insert for details).
Because of its narrow therapeutic index and the potential effects of
vemurafenib on the
enzymes responsible for acenocoumarol metabolism, this study will evaluate the
effect
of multiple doses of vemurafenib on acenocoumarol PK. Given acenocoumarol is
administered as a racemic mixture, both R- and S- acenocoumarol plasma PK will
be
monitored.
The risk associated with administering acenocoumarol to cancer patients as two
single
4*mg doses taken 21 days apart is considered minimal. Because the dose
administered
in this study will be only half of the suggested starting dose, patients in
this study will not
derive any benefit from receiving acenocoumarol.
Patients with BRAFV600 mutations will be enrolled into this study. No unexpected
adverse risks associated with the administration of vemurafenib to these
patients are
anticipated. Some patients may derive some efficacy benefit from receiving
vemurafenib
during this study and during the rollover study.
Study objective
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of multiple oral
doses of vemurafenib (960 mg BID) on the PK of a single oral dose of
acenocoumarol (4 mg).
The secondary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability
of vemurafenib in the study population.
Study design
This is a Phase I, open-label, multicenter, 3*period, fixed-sequence study to
investigate
the effect of multiple doses of vemurafenib on the PK of acenocoumarol
following oral
administration.
Enough patients will be enrolled to obtain at least 12 evaluable patients for
PK analysis.
Additional patients may be enrolled if at least 12 evaluable patients are not
available.
Intervention
Following a screening period of up to 28 days, patients will receive
acenocoumarol 4 mg
orally (PO) on Day 1 (Period A) under fasted conditions of at least 10 hours.
In Period B, patients will receive vemurafenib 960 mg PO BID for 20 days (Days
4*23).
In Period C, patients will receive acenocoumarol 4 mg PO on Day 23 (under fasted
conditions of at least 10 hours) and vemurafenib 960 mg PO BID on Days 23*26.
Study burden and risks
Because only patients are included for whom vemurafenib is an accepted standard
of care or where there is no other generally accepted standard of care. And
because The risk associated with administering acenocoumarol to cancer patients
as two single 4*mg doses taken 21 days apart is considered minimal. In
addition, some patients may derive some efficacy benefit from receiving
vemurafenib during this study and during the rollover study.
