Metabolism of Pirtobrutinib

Pirtobrutinib is primarily metabolized by cytochrome (CYP) 3A4 and direct glucuronidation by uridine diphosphate glucoronosyl transferases UGT1A8 and UGT1A9, in vitro.1

Cytochrome P450 Enzymes

Effect of Strong CYP3A Inhibitors on Pirtobrutinib

Pirtobrutinib is a CYP3A substrate. Concomitant use of pirtobrutinib with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increased pirtobrutinib systemic exposure, which may increase the risk of pirtobrutinib adverse reactions.1

Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors with pirtobrutinib. If concomitant use of a strong CYP3A inhibitor is unavoidable, reduce the pirtobrutinib dose by 50 mg. If the current dosage is 50 mg once daily, interrupt pirtobrutinib treatment for the duration of strong CYP3A inhibitor use. After discontinuation of a strong CYP3A inhibitor for 5 half-lives, resume the pirtobrutinib dose that was taken prior to initiating the strong CYP3A inhibitor.1

Effect of Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers on Pirtobrutinib

Concomitant use of pirtobrutinib with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreased pirtobrutinib systemic exposure, which may reduce pirtobrutinib efficacy.1

Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers with pirtobrutinib. If moderate CYP3A inducers is unavoidable and the current dosage of pirtobrutinib is 200 mg once daily, increase the dose to 300 mg. If the current dosage is 50 mg or 100 mg once daily, increase the dose by 50 mg.1

Effect of Pirtobrutinib on Sensitive CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and CYP3A Substrates

Pirtobrutinib is a moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor and a weak CYP2C19 and CYP3A inhibitor.1

Concomitant use of pirtobrutinib with sensitive CYP2C8, CYP2C19, or CYP3A substrates increased their plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates for drugs which are sensitive to minimal concentration changes. Follow recommendations for sensitive CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and CYP3A substrates provided in their approved product labeling.1

  • induced CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19.1

Transporter Systems

Effect of Pirtobrutinib on Sensitive P-gp and BCRP Substrates

Pirtobrutinib is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor and moderate breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor.1

Concomitant use of pirtobrutinib with sensitive P-gp or BCRP substrates increased their plasma concentrations, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates for drugs which are sensitive to minimal concentration changes. Follow recommendations for sensitive P-gp, or BCRP substrates provided in their approved product labeling.1

Acid-Reducing Agents

No clinically significant differences in pirtobrutinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor. In a clinical study with healthy subjects (N=10), coadministration of omeprazole with pirtobrutinib showed 

  • area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) for pirtobrutinib to be approximately 11% higher when taken with omeprazole compared to pirtobrutinib alone, and
  • no effect on the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) for pirtobrutinib.1,2 

Use in Clinical Trials

In clinical studies, pirtobrutinib was allowed to be taken with or without agents that modify gastric pH such as proton pump inhibitors (acid reducing agents) and histamine H2-receptor antagonists.2 

Interaction With Venetoclax

The phase 1b portion of the BRUIN phase study is evaluating the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of pirtobrutinib in combination with venetoclax (n=15) and rituximab plus venetoclax (n=10).3,4 Patients are treated on a 28 day cycle with either 

  • pirtobrutinib at 200 mg daily starting cycle 1, day 1; venetoclax starting cycle 2, day 1 with a standard 5-week dose ramp to 400 mg daily (Arm A) or
  • rituximab at 375 mg/m2 on cycle 1, day 1, then 500 mg/m2 on day 1 of cycles 2-6; pirtobrutinib at 200 mg daily starting cycle 1, day 3; and venetoclax starting cycle 2, day 1 with a standard 5-week dose ramp to 400 mg daily (Arm B).4,5

Pirtobrutinib and venetoclax were given in combination in a fixed duration for a total of 24 cycles and each cycle was 28 days. Patients received treatment for 25 cycles or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal.4

The study collated venetoclax pharmacokinetic data for both Arm A and Arm B patients. Pirtobrutinib and venetoclax pharmacokinetics were similar in both combination regimens (Pharmacokinetic Analysis for Pirtobrutinib and Venetoclax Treatment). There was no apparent drug-drug interaction between pirtobrutinib and venetoclax. Both combination therapies had pharmacokinetic exposures comparable to pirtobrutinib and venetoclax monotherapies.4

BRUIN Phase 1/2 Trial Criteria

Relevant Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria Related to Concomitant Medications

In the BRUIN phase 1/2 trial, subjects who tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were excluded due to potential drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral medications and pirtobrutinib as well as the risk of opportunistic infections with both HIV and irreversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The subjects with unknown HIV status had to undergone HIV testing at screening.6

The phase 1/2 portion of the study also excluded subjects from enrollment if they were currently being treated with certain strong CYP3A4 modulators (List of Strong and Moderate CYP3A4 Modulators) and/or strong P-gp inhibitors. The study allowed subjects to take moderate inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 and mild inhibitors of P-gp with caution.6

Permitted concomitant medications included ongoing medications and all medications that were administered within 14 days prior to the planned start of study drug (that is, from screening) through the safety follow-up visit, which was at least 28 days (+7 days) after the last dose of study treatment.6
