Pharmacodynamic Properties

14.2    PHARMACODYNAMICS
In patients with recurrent B-cell lymphoma > 90% occupancy of the BTK active site in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was observed up to 24 hours after ibrutinib doses of ≥ 2.5 mg/kg/day (≥ 175 mg/day for average weight of 70 kg).
In vitro Platelet Aggregation
Ibrutinib demonstrated inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, with IC50 values at 4.6 µM (2026 ng/mL), 0.8 µM (352 ng/mL), and 3 µM (1321 ng/mL) in blood samples from healthy donors, donors taking warfarin, and donors with severe renal dysfunction, respectively. Ibrutinib did not show meaningful inhibition of platelet aggregation for ADP, arachidonic acid, ristocetin, and TRAP-6.
Cardiac Electrophysiology
At a single dose 3 times the maximum recommended dose (1680 mg), IMBRUVICA did not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.

Pharmacokinetic Properties

14.3    Pharmacokinetics
Ibrutinib exposure increases with doses up to 840 mg (1.5 times the maximum approved recommended dosage) in patients with B-cell malignancies. The mean steady-state AUC (% coefficient of variation) observed in patients at 560 mg with MCL is 865 (69%) ngh/mL and with MZL is 978 (82%) ngh/mL, and in patients at 420 mg with CLL/SLL is 708 (71%) ngh/mL, with WM is 707 (72%) ngh/mL, and with cGVHD is 1159
(50%) ngh/mL. Steady-state concentrations of ibrutinib without CYP3A inhibitors were achieved with an accumulation ratio of 1 to 1.6 after 1 week of multiple daily doses of 420 mg or 560 mg.
Absorption
Absolute bioavailability of ibrutinib in fasted condition was 2.9% (90% CI: 2.1, 3.9) in healthy subjects.
Ibrutinib is absorbed after oral administration with a median T max of 1 hour to 2 hours.




Effect of Food
The administration of IMBRUVICA with a high-fat and high-calorie meal (800 calories to 1,000 calories with approximately 50% of total caloric content of the meal from fat) increased ibrutinib C max by 2- to 4-fold and AUC by approximately 2-fold, compared with administration of ibrutinib after overnight fasting.
In vitro studies suggest that ibrutinib is not a substrate of p-glycoprotein (P-gp) or breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).
Distribution
Reversible binding of ibrutinib to human plasma protein in vitro was 97.3% with no concentration dependence in the range of 50 ng/mL to 1000 ng/mL. The volume of distribution (V d) was 683 L, and the apparent volume of distribution at steady state (Vd,ss/F) was approximately 10,000 L.
Elimination
Intravenous clearance was 62 L/h in fasted conditions and 76 L/h in fed conditions. In line with the high first- pass effect, the apparent oral clearance is 2000 L/h in fasted conditions and 1000 L/h in fed conditions. The half-life of ibrutinib is 4 hours to 6 hours.
Metabolism
Metabolism is the main route of elimination for ibrutinib. It is metabolized to several metabolites primarily by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A and to a minor extent by CYP2D6. The active metabolite, PCI-45227, is a dihydrodiol metabolite with inhibitory activity towards BTK approximately 15 times lower than that of ibrutinib. The range of the mean metabolite to parent ratio for PCI-45227 at steady-state is 1 to 2.8.
Excretion
Ibrutinib, mainly in the form of metabolites, is eliminated primarily via feces. After a single oral administration of radiolabeled ibrutinib, 90% of radioactivity was excreted within 168 hours, with 80% excreted in the feces and less than 10% eliminated in urine. Unchanged ibrutinib accounted for 1% of the radiolabeled excreted dose in feces and none in urine, with the remainder of the excreted dose being metabolites.
Specific Populations
Age and Sex
Age and sex have no clinically meaningful effect on ibrutinib pharmacokinetics.
Patients with Renal Impairment
Mild and moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] > 25 mL/min as estimated by Cockcroft-Gault equation) had no influence on the exposure of ibrutinib. No data is available in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr < 25 mL/min) or in patients on dialysis.
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
The AUC of ibrutinib increased 2.7-fold in subjects with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A), 8.2- fold in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B) and 9.8-fold in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) relative to subjects with normal liver function. The C max of ibrutinib 

increased 5.2-fold in mild hepatic impairment, 8.8-fold in moderate hepatic impairment and 7-fold in severe hepatic impairment relative to subjects with normal liver function [see Use in Specific Populations (11.6)].
Drug Interaction Studies
Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches
Effect of CYP3A Inhibitors on Ibrutinib: The coadministration of multiple doses of ketoconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased the Cmax of ibrutinib by 29-fold and AUC by 24-fold. The coadministration of multiple doses of voriconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased steady state C max of ibrutinib by 6.7-fold and AUC by 5.7-fold. Simulations under fed conditions suggest that posaconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) may increase the AUC of ibrutinib 3-fold to 10-fold.
The coadministration of multiple doses of erythromycin (moderate CYP3A inhibitor) increased steady state Cmax of ibrutinib by 3.4-fold and AUC by 3-fold.
Effect of CYP3A Inducers on Ibrutinib: The coadministration of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the Cmax of ibrutinib by more than 13-fold and AUC by more than 10-fold. Simulations suggest that efavirenz (moderate CYP3A inducer) may decrease the AUC of ibrutinib by 3-fold.
In Vitro Studies
Effect of Ibrutinib on CYP Substrates: In vitro studies suggest that ibrutinib and PCI-45227 are unlikely to inhibit CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 or 3A at clinical doses. Both ibrutinib and PCI-45227 are unlikely to induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6 or CYP3A at clinical doses.
Effect of Ibrutinib on Substrates of Transporters: In vitro studies suggest that ibrutinib may inhibit BCRP and P-gp transport at clinical doses. The coadministration of oral P-gp or BCRP substrates with a narrow therapeutic index (e.g., digoxin, methotrexate) with IMBRUVICA may increase their concentrations.

Agents that may have their plasma concentrations altered by ibrutinib In studies of ibrutinib (420 mg) in combination with venetoclax (400 mg) in CLL patients, an increase in venetoclax exposure (approximately 1.8-fold based on AUC) was observed compared with monotherapy data for venetoclax.
