Pharmacometric analyses of alectinib to facilitate approval of the optimal dose for the first‐line treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase–positive non‐small cell lung cancer

Abstract Alectinib is an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor approved for treatment of ALK‐positive non‐small cell lung cancer. Population pharmacokinetic (PK) models were developed for alectinib and its major active metabolite M4 using phase I/II PK data in crizotinib‐failed patients (N = 13...

Population pharmacokinetic (PK) models were developed for alectinib and its major active metabolite M4 using phase I/II PK data in crizotinib‐failed patients (N = 138).

Bayesian feedback analyses of the PK data collected from Japanese and global treatment‐naïve patients in phase III studies (N = 334) confirmed the body weight effect. Landmark Cox proportional hazards analyses of progression‐free survival in treatment‐naïve patients identified the average molar concentrations of both entities alectinib and M4 during the first 6 weeks of treatment as a significant covariate, with an optimal response achieved for concentrations above 1040 nmol/L.
