Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Concomitant use of medication(s) which could influence the pharmacokinetics of erlotinib within 14 days or five half-lives of the drug (whichever is shorter) before start of the study, consisting of (but not limited to) CYP3A4-inhibitors/inductors • Active uncontrolled infection or severe cardiac dysfunction (such as New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina) • Impaired hepatic function (total bilirubin > ULN or Child-Pugh A, B and C) • Woman who are pregnant or breast feeding • Progression on erlotinib at the latest regular response evaluation • Current smokers or stopped smoking within 7 days before study allocation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Effect of the highly potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of erlotinib, measured as AUC0-24h, AUCmean, Cmax and Cmin;Secondary Objective: 1. Safety of the CYP3A4 moderator ritonavir in combination with erlotinib, which will be measured as the incidence and severity of adverse events with and without ritonavir, according to CTC-AE v4.03. 2. The correlation between the pharmacokinetics, measured as AUC0-24h, AUCmean, Cmax and Cmin of ritonavir and toxicity according to CTC-AE v4.03 3. Study the effect of the highly potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the active metabolite of erlotinib, OSI-420 , measured as AUC0-24h, AUCmean, Cmax and Cmin. 4. Quantification of ctDNA, determined with Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) ;Primary end point(s): The effect of the highly potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of erlotinib, measured as AUC0-24h, Cmax and Cmin.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 15 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. The incidence and severity of adverse events of co-administration of the highly potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir, according to CTC-AE v4.03. 2. To determine the correlation between the ritonavir pharmacokinetics (AUC0-24h, Cmax and Cmin) and the incidence and severity of adverse events. 3. To Study the effect of the highly potent CYP3A4 inhibitor ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the active metabolite of erlotinib OSI-420 , measured as AUC0-24h, Cmax and Cmin. 4. Quantification of ctDNA, determined with Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Not applicable
