§3 Pharmacology
?
Mechanism of Action
● Ibrutinib was an irreversible inhibitor of Bruton ’s tyrosine kinase (Btk), an enzyme in the B cell receptor (BCR) signal-ing pathway involving in B-lymphocyte activation and in the maintenance of some B-cell malignancies. ● Ibrutinib covalently bound to a cysteine (Cyt481) in the ac-tive site of Btk with the IC 50 of 0.46 nM [7]. ● Ibrutinib showed anti-cancer activity against cells derived from B-cell malignancies, including MCL and CLL lines both in vitro cell culture and in vivo xenograft models. ● The active metabolite M37 (PCI-45227) of ibrutinib was ap-proximately 15 times less active than ibrutinib in the inhibi-tion of Btk based on IC 50 values (IC 50= 6.16 nM), and some-what more selective for Btk inhibition relative to other ki-nases such as EGFR and LCK [7]. ● Ibrutinib also inhibited Bmx/ETK (another member of tyro-sine kinase family, IC 50= 0.76 nM), BLK (B lymphocyte kinase, IC 50= 0.52 nM), and other kinases with IC 50s up to 4 nM: CSK (IC 50= 2.25 nM), FGR (IC 50= 2.31 nM), Brk (IC 50= 3.34 nM), HCK (IC 50= 3.67 nM)[7].
? In Vitro Efficacy
● Ibrutinib inhibited Btk, Btk-mediated cell signaling, and BCR-stimulated cell activity in B cell lymphoma derived cells [7,
8]:
In human CD20+ B cells: CD69 inhibition of IC 50< 10 nM.
In isolated human PMBC: Btk active site occupancy (IC 50= 100 nM) and CD69 inhibition (IC 50= 200 nM). In DOHH2 cell line: inhibition of Btk autophosphorylation (IC 50= 11 nM), the phosphorylation of Btk substrate PLC γ (IC 50= 29 nM) and the downstream kinase, ERK (IC 50= 13 nM).
● Ibrutinib inhibited the adhesion of MCL (mantle cell lymphoma) and CLL cells as well as the normal B cells to fibronectin
and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), suggesting the potential for ibrutinib to affect the trafficking of B-cells [7, 9, 10]. ● Ibrutinib inhibited cell proliferation of certain B cell lymphoma derived cell lines and CLL cells [7]. ? In Vivo
Efficacy ● In ex vivo studies, Btk active site occupancy was found in splenocyte in ibrutinib pre-treated mice [7]. ● Xenograft models in SCID mice [7]:
OCI-Ly-10 cell lines: significant tumor growth inhibition: oral daily 3 mg/kg on day 10. Mino mantle cell lymphoma i.v. injection model: oral 12 mg/kg daily on study day 70:
Substantively lower numbers of hCD19+ mantle cells in bone marrow, PBMC and lymph nodes, no effect on hCD19+ cell counts in the spleen.
● In TCL1 adoptive transfer CLL mouse model, ibrutinib significantly delayed CLL disease progression [11]:
At 25 mg/kg, oral daily for 16 days. ● In Spontaneous Canine B-cell Lymphoma, tumor burden was reduced 77% by ibrutinib [9]:
At 20 mg/kg, oral daily for 4 weeks.

Ibrutinib 9 §4 ADME & Drug-Drug Interaction
?Absorption
?Oral bioavailability of ibrutinib was low to moderate in fasted rats and dogs, ranging from 18 - 23% in rats and 7-11% in dogs. The bioavailability study was not performed in humans, but it was likely low.
?Ibrutinib was absorbed rapidly with the T max occurring 0.5 to 2 hrs in non-clinical species and humans, and T max of the metabolite PCI-45227 was 0.78 hrs.
?The half-life of ibrutinib in humans (5.9 hrs) with capsule was longer than that with solution formation (3.1 hrs), in rats
(0.98 hr) and in dogs (6.4 hrs).The half-life of PCI-45227 was 8.4 hrs.
?The clearance of ibrutinib in humans (2443 L/hr) and non-clinical species were higher comparable to liver blood flow.
?The apparent volume of distribution was high in humans (11038 L), suggesting ibrutinib had an extensive distribution in tissues in humans, but Vd may be overestimated duo to the low bioavailability. The apparent volume of distribution was moderate in non-clinical species.
?The permeability of ibrutinib was high with the Papp (A-B) (32.6) ×10-6cm/s in Caco-2 cells model.
?Distribution
?The plasma protein binding of ibrutinib ranged from 96 to 99% in mice, rats, dogs and humans, and the Cb:Cp were less than 1, suggesting low penetration into red blood cells.
?The tissue distribution after a single oral administration:
High concentrations of [14C] ibrutinib was detected in the following tissues at 1 hr postdose following administra-tion of 10 mg/kg radiolabeled ibrutinib: small intestine > esophagus> liver > urinary bladder > kidney.
The high concentrations of radioactivity were found in bile, suggesting a biliary excretion of [14C] ibrutinib derived radioactivity
Radioactivity was not detected in tissues of the central nervous system with the exception of olfactory lobe.
Tissue:plasma concentration ratios were less than 1.0 for most tissues, with detectable levels of radioactivity present through 24 hrs postdose.
Elimination was nearly complete for most tissues by 168 hrs postdose.
?Metabolism
?Ibrutinib was extensively metabolized in liver microsomes from all species and the metabolism of ibrutinib was investi-gated in rat, dog, and human liver microsomes, hepatocytes and recombinant CYP450 isozymes.
?The main circulating entities in human plasma were M21, M25, M34 and M37 and ibrutinib, but ibrutinib and M37 combined constituted less than 10% of total circulating radioactivity.
?CYP3A4 and 3A5 was the major isozymes involved in the metabolism of ibrutinib.
?M37 (PCI-45227) was an active metabolite, with inhibitory activity towards Btk approximately 15 times lower than that of ibrutinib.
?Excretion
?Ibrutinib was primarily metabolized and excreted through the feces (80.6%) mostly as oxidative metabolites (0.77% unchanged drug), and the renal route appeared to be a minor elimination pathway (7.8%) in humans.
?Drug-Drug Interaction
?Ibrutinib had no inhibition on CYP1A2 and CYP2E1, and ibrutinib exerted weak inhibition on the rest of the CYP450 isozymes tested (CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4/5).
?PCI-45227 was not an inhibitor of CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2E1 and CYP3A4/5. It was a weak inhibitor of CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9 and CYP2D6.
?Both ibrutinib and the PCI-45227 were weak inducers of CYP450 isoenzymes in vitro.
?Ibrutinib was not a substrate of P-gp but PCI-45227 was a substrate of P-gp.
?Ibrutinib was an inhibitor of P-gp with an IC50of 2.15 μg/mL, but PCI-45227 was not.

--Absorption --
Non-clinical species: After oral administration, ibrutinib exhibited rapid absorption in preclinical species. The mean T max of
ibrutinib generally occurred within 2 hrs postdose. Ibrutinib was a high clearance with a moderate volume of distribution. The mean terminal half-life of ibrutinib following oral administration ranged from 0.98 hr in rats to 6.4 hrs in dogs. Humans: The AUC of a solution formation compared to a capsule formulation appeared comparable, and the fraction ab-sorbed was close 1, suggesting the absorption from GI tract may not be the limiting factor to the bioavailability.

§5 Non-Clinical Toxicology
?Single Dose Toxicology
?Single dose oral administration of ibrutinib in different species:
Mice MTD: 2000 mg/kg.
Rats MTD: 500 mg/kg.
?Repeat Dose Toxicology
?Repeated dose oral administration of ibrutinib in different species from 2 to 13 weeks:
For rats: The NOAEL was 30 mg/kg/day (2.6 and 21×MRHD for males and females, respectively), determined by 13-week toxicity study. Toxicity target organs were bone, GI track, lymphoid tissues/organs, pancreas, and skin.
Drug related T1/2 prolongation was found.
For dogs: The NOAEL was 30 mg/kg/day (0.4 and 1.8×MRHD for males and females, respectively), determined by 13-week toxicity study. Decrease in heart rate (with associated increased RR intervals), intestinal inflammation,
lymphoid depletion of Peyer’s paths, and gastric smooth muscle degeneration were mainly toxicity found.
?Safety Pharmacology
?Ibrutinib inhibited hERG channel currents with an IC50value of approximately 1 μM and may be considered a low-potency blocker.
?In a single-dose safety pharmacology study in Beagle dogs, an oral ibrutinib dose up to 150 mg/kg did not induce QT interval prolongation; increases in the RR interval were observed. The effect occurred at 1 hr postdose.
?One of the major metabolites of ibrutinib, PCI-45227, inhibited hERG channel currents with an IC50 value of 9.6 μM,
i.e. ten fold less potency for blocking the Ikr current compared to the parent drug.
?Genotoxicity
?Ibrutinib was not mutagenic in bacterial Ames test or clastogenic in a chromosome aberration test in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO).
?Ibrutinib did not increase micronucleus formation in mice after oral doses up to 2000 mg/kg.
?Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology
?Ibrutinib was administered orally to pregnant rats:
Increased post-implantation loss and increased resorption occurred at the high dose of 80 mg/kg. Fetal toxicities (visceral malformations and variations, and skeletal variations) were observed at the high dose of 80 mg/kg. Re-
duced fetal weight was seen at ibrutinib doses at 40 mg/kg and 80 mg/kg. The dose of 80 mg/kg resulted in maternal toxicities.
The dose of 80 mg/kg/day in animals resulted in exposures (total AUC) approximately 14 times the AUC in patients with MCL (ibrutinib dose of 560 mg/day). The exposure at 40 mg/kg/day was approximately 6 times the AUC in
patients with MCL.
?Ibrutinib was administered orally to pregnant rabbits:
At the ibrutinib dose of 100 mg/kg, which was greater than the maternally-toxic dose (≥30 mg/kg/day), there were embryo-fetal toxicities. Findings included increases in resorption and implantation loss, decreases in viable fetuses
and fetal body weights, as well as spontaneous abortions.
