Determination of the absolute oral bioavailability of niraparib by simultaneous administration of a 14 C-microtracer and therapeutic dose in cancer patients

Abstract

Introduction

Niraparib (Zejula™) is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the maintenance treatment of patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. The pivotal phase III clinical trial has shown improved progression-free survival in patients receiving niraparib compared with those receiving placebo.

Purpose

Since niraparib is administered orally, it is of interest to investigate the oral bioavailability (F po) of this novel compound, which is the aim of this study.

Methods

Six patients received an oral therapeutic dose of 300 mg niraparib, followed by a 15-min intravenous infusion of 100 µg 14C-niraparib with a radioactivity of approximately 100 nCi. The niraparib therapeutic dose was measured in plasma using a validated liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method, whereas the total 14C-radioactivity and 14C-niraparib plasma levels were measured by accelerator mass spectrometry and a validated high performance liquid chromatography assay with AMS.

Results

The F po of niraparib was determined to be 72.7% in humans.
