Abstract:

AIM: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of the metabolites of abivertinib in Chinese patients with advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after single and multiple dose of abivertinib maleate capsules. METHODS: Seven Chinese patients with advanced NSCLC were administered a single oral dose of 350 mg of abivertinib maleate capsule. After a washout period, three of them were administered 350 mg of abivertinib QD for 28 days, four were administered 175 mg of abivertinib twice a day for 28 days. The plasma concentrations of five metabolites of abivertinib were assayed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with WinNonlin ver. 6.4. RESULTS: Among these five metabolites, the exposure of MII-2, a cysteine conjugate, was the highest, which was 3.32%-5.57% of the exposure of the parent drug. The exposures of M1 (N-demethylation) and M2 (N-oxidation) were 2.14%-4.24% and 0.56%-1.00% of the exposure of the parent drug, respectively. The exposures of M4 (N-dealkylation) and MII-1 (acetylcysteine conjugate) were low, most of the concentrations of MII-1 were blow the lower limit of quantitation (0.1 ng/mL). CONCLUSION: The exposures of the five metabolites monitored were no more than 10% of the exposure of the parent drug.
