  • Patent number: 11944617
    Abstract: Many drugs useful in treating cancer are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes, by CYP3A4 enzymes, or both. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer that is a substrate for both CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in in vitro tests, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel would increase paclitaxel plasma exposure more than 5-fold in vivo, requiring significant reductions in paclitaxel doses when co-administering paclitaxel with relacorilant. Surprisingly, paclitaxel plasma exposure increased only by about 80% instead of the expected more than 5-fold increase expected with concomitant relacorilant and paclitaxel administration. Applicant discloses safe methods of co-administering relacorilant and paclitaxel by reducing the dose of paclitaxel to about half the paclitaxel dose used when paclitaxel is administered alone.
