Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometric assay for the quantification of CDK4/6 inhibitors in human plasma in a clinical context of drug-drug interaction
Résumé
The CDK4/6 inhibitors palbociclib and ribociclib are kinase inhibitors used in association with hormonal therapy for the management of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Like most kinase inhibitors, therapeutic drug monitoring may be used for personalize their dosage. To this aim, we developed and validated a sensitive and specific HPLC-MS/MS method for palbociclib and ribociclib quantification in blood samples. We then quantified exposure to palbociclib (plasma trough concentration; Ctrough) in a real-life cohort of patients with locally invasive or metastatic breast cancer (n = 18) at day 15 of the first cycle of palbociclib treatment to characterize palbociclib concentration at steady state (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT04025541, IdRCB n° 2018-A00064-51, 03/07/2018). The geometric mean (± standard deviation [min-max]) of palbociclib plasma Ctrough was 88.58 ng/mL (± 26.4 [46.5 ng/mL - 133 ng/mL]) at day 15. Some covariates, such as drug-drug interactions, could explain the concentration variations observed in our Caucasian cohort. These first results in real-life settings obtained with our HPLC-MS/MS method give important information on palbociclib monitoring and pharmacokinetic variability.
