  • Publication number: 20220184061
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210369690
    Abstract: Relacorilant is useful in the treatment of cancer and hypercortisolism. Many drugs useful in treating cancer or hypercortisolism are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C8 substrate are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 in an in vitro test, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and a CYP2C8 substrate would be expected to increase the CYP2C8 substrate plasma exposure more than five-fold in vivo. Significant reductions in CYP2C8 substrate doses would be expected to be required when administered with relacorilant. Surprisingly, no such increase in plasma exposure was seen in human studies. Applicant discloses that relacorilant may be safely co-administered with unmodified doses of CYP2C8 substrates such as pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, and enzalutamide. Relacorilant and unmodified doses of enzalutamide may be co-administered to treat cancer, e.g., prostate cancer.
