Lorbrena

Rx

Kinase inhibitor
Used for certain types of metastatic NSCLC
Risk of serious hepatotoxicity when administered with CYP3A inducers; contraindicated with strong CYP3A inducers

For the treatment of metastatic, ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

NOTE: Lorlatinib has been designated an orphan drug by the FDA for this indication.
NOTE: Patients should be selected based on the presence of ALK positivity in tumor specimens. Information on FDA-approved tests for the detection of ALK rearrangements in NSCLC is available at www.fda.gov/CompanionDiagnostics.
Oral dosage Adults

100 mg PO once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Coadministration of certain drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary; review drug interactions. First-line treatment of ALK-positive, metastatic NSCLC significantly improved median progression-free survival (not established vs. 9.3 months) compared with crizotinib in a multicenter, randomized, open-label clinical trial (the CROWN study). The overall response rate was 76% (complete response [CR], 3%) for a median duration that was not established in the lorlatinib arm compared with 58% (CR, 0%) for a median duration of 11 months in the crizotinib arm; the response duration lasted at least 12 months in 70% versus 27% of patients, respectively. The intracranial response rate in patients with measurable intracranial lesions was 82% (CR, 71%) in patients treated with lorlatinib (n = 17) and 23% (CR, 8%) in those who received crizotinib (n = 13); the intracranial response lasted at least 12 months in 79% of patients in the lorlatinib arm and in no patients treated with crizotinib. In a subgroup of patients with ALK-positive, metastatic NSCLC previously treated with one or more ALK inhibitors, the overall response rate was 48% (CR, 4%) for a median duration of 12.5 months in a multicenter, nonrandomized, dose-ranging, activity-estimating, multicohort study; the intracranial response rate in patients with measurable intracranial lesions was 60% (CR, 21%) for a median duration of 19.5 months.

Hepatic Impairment

Mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin less than or equal to the upper limit of normal (ULN) with AST greater than ULN, OR total bilirubin up to 1.5 times ULN with any AST): No dosage adjustment necessary.
Moderate or severe hepatic impairment (total bilirubin 1.5 times ULN or more and any AST): The recommended dose of lorlatinib has not been established.

Renal Impairment

Mild or moderate renal impairment (CrCL 30 to 89 mL/min): No dosage adjustment necessary.
Severe renal impairment (CrCL 15 to 29 mL/min): Reduce the dose of lorlatinib to 75 mg PO once daily.
End-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis: The recommended dose of lorlatinib has not been established.

Abacavir; Dolutegravir; Lamivudine: (Moderate) Monitor for decreased efficacy of dolutegravir if coadministered with lorlatinib. Concurrent use may decrease the plasma concentrations of dolutegravir leading to a reduction of antiretroviral efficacy and the potential development of viral resistance. Dolutegravir is a CYP3A4 substrate as well as a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Lorlatinib is a moderate CYP3A4 inducer and a P-gp inducer.
Abemaciclib: (Major) Avoid coadministration of lorlatinib with abemaciclib due to decreased exposure to abemaciclib and its active metabolites, which may lead to reduced efficacy. Abemaciclib is a CYP3A4 substrate and lorlatinib is a moderate CYP3A4 inducer. Coadministration with other moderate CYP3A4 inducers is predicted to decrease the relative potency adjusted unbound AUC of abemaciclib plus its active metabolites (M2, M18, and M20) by 29% to 53%.
Acetaminophen; Caffeine; Dihydrocodeine: (Moderate) Monitor for reduced efficacy of dihydrocodeine and signs of opioid withdrawal if coadministration with lorlatinib is necessary; consider increasing the dose of dihydrocodeine as needed. If lorlatinib is discontinued, consider a dose reduction of dihydrocodeine and frequently monitor for signs or respiratory depression and sedation. Lorlatinib is a moderate inducer of CYP3A4, an isoenzyme partially responsible for the metabolism of dihydrocodeine. Concomitant use of dihydrocodeine with lorlatinib can decrease dihydrocodeine levels, resulting in less metabolism by CYP2D6 and decreased dihydromorphine concentrations; this may result in decreased efficacy or onset of a withdrawal syndrome in patients who have developed physical dependence.
Acetaminophen; Codeine: (Moderate) Monitor for reduced efficacy of codeine and signs of opioid withdrawal in patients who have developed physical dependence if coadministration with lorlatinib is necessary; consider increasing the dose of codeine as needed. It is recommended to avoid this combination when codeine is being used for cough. If lorlatinib is discontinued, consider a dose reduction of codeine and frequently monitor for signs or respiratory depression and sedation. Codeine is primarily metabolized by CYP2D6 to morphine, and by CYP3A4 to norcodeine; norcodeine does not have analgesic properties. Lorlatinib is a moderate CYP3A4 inducer. Concomitant use with lorlatinib can increase norcodeine levels via increased CYP3A4 metabolism, resulting in decreased metabolism via CYP2D6 resulting in lower morphine levels; this may result in decreased efficacy or onset of a withdrawal syndrome in patients who have developed physical dependence.
Acetaminophen; Hydrocodone: (Moderate) Monitor for reduced efficacy of hydrocodone and signs of opioid withdrawal in patients who have developed physical dependence if coadministration with lorlatinib is necessary; consider increasing the dose of hydrocodone as needed.

If concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce the starting dose of lorlatinib from 100 mg to 75 mg once daily, or from 75 mg to 50 mg once daily. If adagrasib is discontinued, resume the original dose of lorlatinib after 3 half-lives of adagrasib. Lorlatinib is a CYP3A substrate and adagrasib is a strong CYP3A inhibitor. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A inhibitor increased lorlatinib exposure by 42%.
Afatinib: (Major) Increase the daily dose of afatinib by 10 mg as tolerated if the concomitant use with lorlatinib is necessary; resume the previous dose of afatinib 2 to 3 days after discontinuation of lorlatinib. Afatinib is a P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate and lorlatinib is a P-gp inducer; coadministration may decrease plasma concentrations of afatinib. Pre-treatment with another strong P-gp inducer decreased afatinib exposure by 34%.
Alfentanil: (Moderate) Consider an increased dose of alfentanil and monitor for evidence of opioid withdrawal if coadministration with lorlatinib is necessary. If lorlatinib is discontinued, consider reducing the alfentanil dosage and monitor for evidence of respiratory depression. Coadministration of a moderate CYP3A4 inducer like lorlatinib with alfentanil, a CYP3A4 substrate, may decrease exposure to alfentanil resulting in decreased efficacy or onset of withdrawal symptoms in a patient who has developed physical dependence to alfentanil. Alfentanil plasma concentrations will increase once the inducer is stopped, which may increase or prolong the therapeutic and adverse effects, including serious respiratory depression.
Amiodarone: (Moderate) Monitor for decreased efficacy of amiodarone if coadministration with lorlatinib is necessary; concomitant use may decrease amiodarone plasma concentrations. Amiodarone is a CYP3A4 substrate and lorlatinib is a moderate CYP3A4 inducer.

Administration with another moderate CYP3A inducer decreased lorlatinib exposure by 23%.
Amoxicillin; Clarithromycin; Omeprazole: (Major) Avoid coadministration of lorlatinib with clarithromycin due to increased plasma concentrations of lorlatinib, which may increase the incidence and severity of adverse reactions of lorlatinib; plasma concentrations of clarithromycin may also decrease. If concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce the starting dose of lorlatinib from 100 mg to 75 mg once daily, or from 75 mg to 50 mg once daily. If clarithromycin is discontinued, resume the original dose of lorlatinib after 3 plasma half-lives of clarithromycin. Lorlatinib is a CYP3A4 substrate and moderate CYP3A4 inducer. Clarithromycin is a CYP3A4 substrate and strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Coadministration with another strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increased lorlatinib exposure by 42%. Inducers of CYP3A enzymes will decrease plasma concentrations of clarithromycin while increasing those of 14-OH-clarithromycin. Since the microbiological activities of clarithromycin and 14-OH-clarithromycin are different for different bacteria, the intended therapeutic effect could be impaired during concomitant administration of clarithromycin and enzyme inducers.
Apalutamide: (Contraindicated) Coadministration of lorlatinib with apalutamide is contraindicated due to the risk of severe hepatotoxicity as well as decreased lorlatinib exposure which may reduce its efficacy. Discontinue apalutamide for 3 plasma half-lives prior to initiating therapy with lorlatinib. Lorlatinib is a CYP3A substrate and apalutamide is a strong CYP3A inducer.

Lorlatinib is a kinase inhibitor with in vitro activity against anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and ROS1 as well as TYK1, FER, FPS, TRKA, TRKB, TRKC, FAK, FAK2, and ACK. It demonstrated in vitro activity against multiple mutant forms of the ALK enzyme, including some mutations detected in tumors at the time of disease progression on crizotinib and other ALK inhibitors. Administration of lorlatinib resulted in antitumor activity in mice implanted with tumors harboring EML4 fusions with either ALK variant 1 or ALK mutations, including the G1202R and I1171T mutations detected in tumors at the time of disease progression on ALK inhibitors; it also demonstrated anti-tumor activity and prolonged survival in mice implanted intracranially with EML4-ALK-driven tumor cell lines. The overall antitumor activity of lorlatinib in in vivo models was dose-dependent and correlated with inhibition of ALK phosphorylation.[63732]

Lorlatinib is administered orally. It is 66% bound to plasma proteins at a concentration of 2.4 microMolar. The blood-to-plasma ratio was 0.99. The mean (coefficient of variation [CV]) steady-state volume of distribution (Vd) was 305 liters (28%) following a single intravenous dose. The mean plasma half-life of lorlatinib was 24 hours (40%) after a single oral 100-mg dose. The mean oral clearance was 11 liters/hour (35%) following a single dose and increased to 18 liters/hour (39%) at steady-state, indicating autoinduction. After administration of a single oral 100-mg dose of radiolabeled lorlatinib, 48% of radioactivity was recovered in urine (less than 1% as unchanged drug), and 41% in feces (approximately 9% as unchanged drug).[63732]
 
Affected cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and drug transporters: CYP3A4, UGT1A4, pregnane X receptor (PXR)
In vitro, lorlatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and UGT1A4, with minor contribution from CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP3A5, and UGT1A3. In plasma, a benzoic acid metabolite (M8) of lorlatinib resulting from the oxidative cleavage of the amide and aromatic ether bonds of lorlatinib accounted for 21% of the circulating radioactivity in a human mass balance study. The oxidative cleavage metabolite, M8, is pharmacologically inactive. In vitro, lorlatinib is a time-dependent inhibitor as well as an inducer of CYP3A that also activates PXR; the net effect in vivo is CYP3A induction. Lorlatinib also induces CYP2B6 and activates the human constitutive androstane receptor (CAR). Lorlatinib inhibits P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic cation transporter (OCT)1, organic anion transporter (OAT)3, multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE)1, and intestinal breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).[63732]

Oral Route

Steady-state lorlatinib maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) increases proportionally and AUC increases slightly less than proportionally over the dose range of 10 mg to 200 mg PO once daily (0.1 to 2 times the recommended dose). At the recommended dose, the mean Cmax was 577 ng/mL (42%) and the AUC was 5,650 ng x h/mL (39%) in patients with cancer. The median time to Cmax (Tmax) was 1.2 hours (range, 0.5 to 4 hours) following a single oral 100-mg dose and 2 hours (range, 0.5 to 23 hours) at steady-state. The mean absolute bioavailability (F) is 81% (90% CI, 75.7% to 86.2%) after oral administration compared to intravenous administration.[63732]
 
Administration with a high-fat, high-calorie meal (approximately 1,000 calories with 150 calories from protein, 250 calories from carbohydrate, and 500 to 600 calories from fat) had no clinically meaningful effect on lorlatinib pharmacokinetics. Concomitant administration with a proton pump inhibitor did not have a clinically meaningful effect on lorlatinib pharmacokinetics.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy should be avoided by females of reproductive potential during lorlatinib treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose. Although there are no adequately controlled studies in pregnant animals or humans, lorlatinib can cause fetal harm or death when administered during pregnancy based on its mechanism of action and animal studies. Women who are pregnant or who become pregnant while receiving lorlatinib should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Administration to rabbits at exposures approximately 3 times the human exposure at the recommended dose or higher resulted in abortion and total loss of pregnancy. At approximately 0.6 times the human exposure at the recommended dose, increased post-implantation occurred as well as malformations such as rotated limbs, malformed kidneys, domed head, high arched palate, and dilation of the cerebral ventricles. In rats, exposures of approximately 5 times the human exposure at the recommended dose during organogenesis increased post-implantation loss, decreased fetal body weight, and increased malformations including gastroschisis, rotated limbs, supernumerary digits, and vessel abnormalities.

Due to the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from lorlatinib, advise women to discontinue breast-feeding during treatment and for 7 days after the final dose. It is not known whether lorlatinib is present in human milk, although many drugs are excreted in human milk.
