|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Eligible participants must not have/be:
1. Currently taking a prohibited concomitant medication:
• Strong inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole) or strong inducers (eg, rifampin or St. John's Wort) of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 (within 2 weeks prior to the start of dosing in the study)
• Strong inhibitors (eg, gemfibrozil) or strong inducers (eg, rifampin) of CYP2C8 (within 2 weeks prior to the start of dosing in the study)
• Strong P-gp inhibitors (eg, verapamil) or strong inducers (eg, rifampin). Participants who are taking such medications but who are otherwise eligible may be enrolled if they discontinue the medication ≥1 week before dosing and remain off that medication through the end of study treatment.
• An oral medication with a narrow therapeutic index known to be a P-gp substrate (eg, digoxin, dabigatran) within 24 hours prior to start of dosing in the study
2. Use of warfarin. Participants receiving warfarin who are otherwise eligible and who may be appropriately managed with low molecular weight heparin, in the opinion of the Investigator, may be enrolled in the study provided they are switched to low molecular weight heparin at least 7 days prior to receiving study treatment.
3. Unresolved toxicity from prior chemotherapy (participants must have recovered all significant toxicity to ≤ Grade 1 CTCAE toxicity from previous anticancer treatments or previous investigational agents). This does not extend to symptoms or findings that are attributable to the underlying disease
4. Received investigational agents within 14 days or 5 half-lives prior to the first study dosing day, whichever is longer
5. Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding
6. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, clinically significant myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, unstable angina pectoris, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia, bleeding disorder, chronic pulmonary disease requiring oxygen, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
7. Major surgery to the upper GI tract, or have a history of GI disease or other medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator may interfere with oral drug absorption
8. A known history of allergy to paclitaxel. Participants whose allergy was due to the IV solvent (such as Cremophor®) and not paclitaxel will be eligible for this study.
9. Any other condition which the Investigator believes would make a subject’s participation in the study not acceptable |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) are defined as those AEs with an onset after dosing and those pre-existing AEs that worsen during the study. Verbatim terms on the eCRFs will be mapped to preferred terms (PTs) and system organ classes (SOCs) using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA; version 16.1 or later). The CTCAE criteria v4.03 (or later) will be used to grade the severity of the AEs. Participant incidence of AEs will be displayed by SOC. Adverse events will also be summarized by severity and relationship to the study drug. Participant incidence of SAEs will also be displayed. Laboratory parameters will be summarized using descriptive statistics at baseline and at each subsequent timepoint. Changes from baseline will also be summarized. In addition, shift tables (ie, low-normal-high at baseline versus low-normal-high at follow-up in a 3-by-3 contingency table) will be provided to assess changes in laboratory values from baseline to follow-up. For subjects in Group B, safety parameters will also be analyzed by treatment. The results of other safety assessments (concomitant medications, vital signs, physical examinations, ECGs, and ECOG performance status) will also be evaluated. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Data will be collected on an ongoing basis and at study withdrawal, disease progression or death. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary objectives of the study include confirmation of the sustained oral bioavailability of paclitaxel following multiple dosing as well as comparison of the relative bioavailability of paclitaxel tablets vs paclitaxel capsules (Group B only). |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
All subjects: Oraxol (HM30181AK-US tablet + paclitaxel capsule) and group B subjects (HM30181AK-US tablet + paclitaxel tablet) : 0 (immediately before dosing), 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 hours after Oraxol dosing on Days 1, 2, and 3 of the inpatient treatment week (Week 4 or later).
Group B only: Oraxol (HM30181AK-US tablet + paclitaxel tablet)
Following completion of the week 5 following the administration of the paclitaxel (ie, at Week 5 or later).
