Inhibitor Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The Inhibitor Group was designed to investigate the drug-drug interaction between Rocbrutinib and itraconazole (a potent CYP3A inhibitor and P-gp inhibitor). Itraconazole is a recommended potent index CYP3A inhibitor for clinical studies in the ICH-M12 Guideline on Drug Interactions. In accordance with the recommendations in an industry white paper (CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol. 2019 Aug 7;8(9):685-695), an initial loading dose of 400 mg followed by a maintenance dose of 200 mg once daily (QD) was selected as the itraconazole dosing regimen in this study. Based on the predicted proportion of plasma exposure of metabolites from previous mass balance studies and combined with the previously established safety profile of Rocbrutinib, potent CYP3A inhibition is expected to potentially significantly increase the plasma concentration of Rocbrutinib when co-administered. Therefore, the clinically confirmed minimum effective dose of Rocbrutinib (100 mg) was chosen for co-administration

Inducer Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The Inducer Group was designed to investigate the drug-drug interaction between Rocbrutinib and rifampicin (a potent CYP3A inducer and P-gp inhibitor). Rifampicin is a recommended potent index CYP3A inducer for clinical studies in the ICH-M12 Guideline on Drug Interactions. The maximum dose and shortest dosing interval in its clinically recommended regimen is 600 mg once daily (QD), so 600 mg QD was selected as the rifampicin dosing regimen in this study. Potent CYP3A inducers are expected to either decrease the plasma concentration of Rocbrutinib or have no significant effect on it. Therefore, the clinically recommended higher dose of Rocbrutinib (200 mg) was chosen for co-administration with rifampicin in the Inducer Group. In Cycle 2, Rocbrutinib administration was initiated on Day 10 (the 7th day after the start of continuous rifampicin dosing) and continued until the day before the last blood collection for Rocbrutinib (Day 12), which was sufficient to cover the in vivo drug meta
