A Study of Abemaciclib in Participants With Cancer That is Advanced or Has Spread to Another Part(s) of the Body

Effects of Multiple Doses of Abemaciclib on the Pharmacokinetics of Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A Substrates (Caffeine, Warfarin, Dextromethorphan, and Midazolam) in Cancer Patients

Brief summary

This study is known as a drug interaction study and is being done to see how abemaciclib may affect the blood levels of a drug mixture of commonly used drugs (caffeine, warfarin, dextromethorphan, and midazolam) when taken in combination with abemaciclib. Each participant will complete screening and four study periods in a fixed sequence, with the option to continue to receive abemaciclib in a safety extension phase. All participants will complete a safety follow-up.

Recruitment details

Abemaciclib dose adjustments were allowed due to drug-related toxicity. Before the start of each cycle, drug-related toxicities must have resolved to either baseline or at least Grade 2. Participants not recovered from toxicities within 14 days were discontinued from the study. For Period 2, if abemaciclib dose adjustments occurred, dosing with the drug cocktail was permitted to be delayed to allow for adequate exposure.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Overall
A single dose of drug cocktail was administered on Day 1 of Period 1. Abemaciclib 200 mg was administered Q12H starting on Day 1 of Period 2 with coadministration of drug cocktail on Day 8. Participants continued to receive 200 mg abemaciclib (or modified dose as required) Q12H up to 16 days in Period 3 and up to 28 days in Period 4. Participants could participate in a safety extension phase in which they received 200 mg abemaciclib (or modified dose as required) Q12H until discontinuation criteria are met.
