·         Manufacturing process details:

Development Background:

The aim of the development was to obtain an immediate release hard gelatin capsule to deliver 200 mg and 250 mg crizotinib as a single unit dose. The initial dosage form used during early Phase 1 clinical studies was a powder in capsule (PIC), consisting of crizotinib in a hard gelatin capsule shell. Then a tablet dosage form was developed containing 50 mg and 100 mg crizotinib (drug substance loading of 12.5%), to meet increased clinical demand for Phase 3 clinical studies. In vitro dissolution profiles for both the clinical tablet and PIC dosage forms demonstrated rapid release within 30 minutes in 0.1N HCl. In vivo performance was subsequently shown to be bioequivalent between the clinical tablet and PIC. However for manufacturability reasons, the crizotinib capsule form was developed and it was designed to be qualitatively similar to the clinical tablet formulation. The pharmaceutical development was based on the Quality by Design concept. No design space has been claimed by the applicant in the manufacturing process of the finished product.

Manufacturing Process:

The manufacturing process is considered as standard, and adequate information has been provided. 
The main critical steps have been studied in detail and the critical process parameters (CPPs) have been described adequately. The target normal operating ranges and proven for these CPPs are considered acceptable. A satisfactory validation protocol was filed.

Drug Product stability and Shelf life:

For Blister Pack (EU)

·         Results are provided for up to 12 months at 25°C/60%RH and 30°C/75%RH and 6 months at 40°C/75%RH in both packaging systems.

·          Samples stored in PVC/aluminium foil blisters showed some caking of the capsule contents at the 6 month time point at 30°C/75%RH and from the 2 month time point onwards at 40°C/75%RH.

·          Brittleness of the capsule shells was also seen at the 6 month time point at 40°C/75%RH.

·         These observations were not associated with changes in degradation product levels, assay or dissolution results.

·         Also, they were not been observed through 9 months at the 25°C/60%RH or 30°C/75%RH storage conditions. For samples stored in PVC/aluminium foil blisters, the water content increased by about 0.5% at 25°C/60%RH and by about 1.5% at 30°C/75%RH and 40°C/75%RH through 6 months.

·         The water content did not increase at the 9 month time point. This increased water content has not led to any changes in degradation product levels, assay or dissolution results

·         The capsules are also stable to light. Also in use stability of capsules packed in the HDPE bottle has been demonstrated.

Pharmacokinetic information

Mechanism of Action:

Crizotinib is an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases including ALK, Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor (HGFR, c-Met), ROS1 (c-ros), and Recepteur d’Origine Nantais (RON). Translocations can affect the ALK gene resulting in the expression of oncogenic fusion proteins. The formation of ALK fusion proteins results in activation and dysregulation of the gene’s expression and signaling which can contribute to increased cell proliferation and survival in tumors expressing these proteins. Crizotinib demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibition of ALK, ROS1, and c-Met phosphorylation in cell-based assays using tumor cell lines and demonstrated antitumor activity in mice bearing tumor xenografts that expressed echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)- or nucleophosmin (NPM)-ALK fusion proteins or c-Met

Absorption

Following a single oral dose, crizotinib was absorbed with median time to achieve peak concentration of 4 to 6 hours. Following crizotinib 250 mg twice daily, steady state was reached within 15 days and remained stable, with a median accumulation ratio of 4.8. Steady-state systemic exposure [observed minimum concentration (Cmin) and AUC] appeared to increase in a greater than dose-proportional manner over the dose range of 200-300 mg twice daily. The mean absolute bioavailability of crizotinib was 43% (range: 32% to 66%) following a single 250 mg oral dose. A high-fat meal reduced crizotinib AUC from time zero to infinity (AUCinf) and maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) by approximately 14%. XALKORI can be administered with or without

Food effect in patients:

In the food effect sub-study of Trial 1001 using the CIC dosage form, 12 patients with solid tumors received a 250-mg dose of crizotinib under either the “fed” or “fasted” conditions on Day -7 and Cycle 1 Day 1. The evening dose of Cycle 1 Day 1 was cancelled for these patients. The fed/fasted ratios of the geometric means for crizotinib exposure were 84.64% (90% CI: 65.11%- 110.05%) for AUC24hrs and 87.65% (90% CI: 69.23%-110.98%) for Cmax.

Food effect in healthy subjects:

The effect of a standard high-fat meal on the single dose PK of crizotinib was evaluated in Trial 1011 using the CIC dosage form in 35 healthy subjects. Based on the ratios of the adjusted geometric means (fed/fasted), the coadministration of a high fat meal decreased both AUCinf and Cmax of approximately 14%. The ratios (fed/fasted) of geometric mean for AUCinf and Cmax were 85.76% with 90% CI [78.88%, 93.25%] and 86.22 with 90% CI [77.89%, 95.43%], respectively

Distribution

The geometric mean volume of distribution (Vss) of crizotinib was 1772 L following intravenous administration of a 50 mg dose, indicating extensive distribution into tissues from the plasma. Binding of crizotinib to human plasma proteins in vitro is 91% and is independent of drug concentration. In vitro studies suggested that crizotinib is a substrate for P-glycoprotein (P-gp). The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is approximately 1.

Elimination

Following single doses of crizotinib, the mean apparent plasma terminal half-life of crizotinib was 42 hours in patients. Following the administration of a single 250 mg radiolabeled crizotinib dose to healthy subjects, 63% and 22% of the administered dose was recovered in feces and urine, respectively. Unchanged crizotinib represented approximately 53% and 2.3% of the administered dose in feces and urine, respectively. The mean apparent clearance (CL/F) of crizotinib was lower at steady state (60 L/h) after 250 mg twice daily than after a single 250 mg oral dose (100 L/h), which was likely due to auto-inhibition of CYP3A by crizotinib after multiple dosing.

Metabolism

Crizotinib is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4/5. The primary metabolic pathways in humans were oxidation of the piperidine ring to crizotinib lactam and O-dealkylation, with subsequent Phase 2 conjugation of O-dealkylated metabolites.

Inter- and intra-subject variability

Moderate variability in crizotinib PK parameters has been observed in both healthy subjects and patients with advanced solid tumors.

Following multiple oral crizotinib dosing of 250 mg BID, the coefficient of variation (%CV) is 36-38% and 38-44% for AUCτ and Cmax, respectively. CV% values in AUCinf and Cmax range from 28% to 34% for oral administration compared to 18% to 19% following intravenous infusion (Trial 1010). The variability may be attributable to the variation in extrinsic factors (concomitant medications, live styles, measurement errors in PK concentration) and intrinsic factors (e.g., bodyweight, race, gastro-intestinal pH variation, genetics, etc) in patients with cancers.
