A Pharmacokinetics (PK) Study to Investigate the Effect of Rifampin on PK of Vemurafenib (Zelboraf)

NCT01765543

Description:

This open-label, multi-center, three-period, one-sequence study will investigate the effect of rifampin on the PK of vemurafenib in participants with unresectable BRAFV600-mutation positive metastatic melanoma or other malignant tumor type that harbors a V600-activating mutation of BRAF without acceptable standard treatment options. Eligible participants will have the option to continue treatment with vemurafenib as part of an extension study GO28399 (NCT01739764).

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Vemurafenib + RifampinExperimentalThere will be 3 intervention periods in the study: Period A (Days 1 to 7), Period B (Days 8 to 16), and Period C (Days 17 to 24). Participants, after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, will receive vemurafenib at a dose of 960 milligrams (mg) as film-coated tablets orally alone on Day 1 (Period A); with rifampin (at a dose of 600 mg as capsules orally) on Day 17 (Period C); and rifampin alone at a dose of 600 mg as capsules orally once daily will be administered from Days 8 through 16 (Period B) and from Days 18 through 23 (Period C).

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Area Under the Plasma Concentration Time-curve From Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration Time Point (AUClast) of Vemurafenib
Time Frame:Predose (0 hour), 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 30-32, 48, 72, 96, 120, 168 hours post vemurafenib-dose on Day 1 (Period A) and Day 17 (Period C)
Safety Issue:
Description:AUClast is the area under the vemurafenib plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the time of last measured concentration of vemurafenib (Tlast). Area under the curve (AUC) is a measure of the plasma concentration of a drug over time. AUClast is presented in micrograms times (*) hour per milliliter (mcg*h/mL).
