Background

Quizartinib (Q) is an oral, highly potent and selective, next-generation FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) inhibitor. Q has demonstrated promising activity in early clinical studies for treatment of AML and is currently in phase 3 studies for treatment of FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutated AML.

Aims

In preclinical studies in rats, food increased oral absorption of Q. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the effect of a high-fat, high-calorie meal on plasma PK parameters of Q in healthy subjects after a single administration of Q. An additional aim was to evaluate tolerability and safety of Q when administered with or without food.

Methods

Healthy subjects, ages 18-55, were randomized in parallel groups to receive a single 30-mg tablet (formulation used in phase 3 trials) of Q (administered as Q dihydrochloride and equivalent to 26.5 mg free-base) under fasted conditions or after a high-fat, high-calorie meal (fed condition). Plasma levels of Q and its active metabolite, AC886, were measured immediately before Q dosing through 504h post dose using a validated method. PK parameters of Q, AC886, and Q+AC886 were determined using non-compartmental modeling. Ratios (fed/fasted) of geometric least squares means (Geo LSM) and 2-sided 90% confidence intervals (CI) of Cmax, AUClast, and AUCinf of Q were calculated to assess effect of food on PK. A 90%CI entirely within an 80%>125% limit indicated no food effect. Safety and tolerability were assessed.

Results

66 subjects were enrolled; 64 received study treatment, 30 under fed conditions and 34 under fasted conditions. Overall, 75% of treated subjects were male and the median age of subjects was 34 years. Mean PK profiles of Q administered under fasted and fed conditions were similar. Administration of Q in the fed condition led to ~8% decrease in Cmax, and increases of ~5% and 8% to AUClast and AUCinf, respectively, vs the fasted condition. The 90%CI for the ratio of the fed versus fasted condition fell within the 80%>125% limits for Cmax and AUClast, and the upper bound of the 90%CI for AUCinf was slightly outside the 125% limit (~128%). Similar trends were also observed for Cmax, AUClast, and AUCinf for AC886 and Q+AC886. Presence of food delayed Tmax of Q by 2h (Tmax was 4h in fasted vs 6h in fed subjects). T1/2 of Q and AC886 was comparable in fasted and fed conditions. All TEAEs reported were mild or moderate; no serious AEs or discontinuations due to AE occurred. Overall, 6 subjects (9.4%) had a TEAE considered related to Q: 2 subjects in the fed condition and 4 subjects in the fasted condition. No significant ECG abnormalities were observed.

Conclusion

Administration of food resulted in slight increase in Q exposure, but is not clinically relevant. TEAEs were similar following Q administration in the fed and fasted conditions. Therefore, Q can be administered with or without food.
