E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Weight gain is a common side effect of alectinib therapy. Semaglutide could be used as medical anti-obesity drug to prevent alectinib-induced weight gain. Since semaglutide delays gastric emptying, alectinib absorption may be influenced with a possible change in AUC. To test if semaglutide can be administered safely along with alectinib, without serious drug-drug interactions, a pharmacokinetic interaction-study is needed. |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
To test if anti-obesity drug semaglutide can be administered safely along with alectinib, without serious interactions between the two drugs. |
|

MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To test if there is a significant drug-drug interaction between alectinib and semaglutide. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria: • Age: ≥18 years; • Able to understand the written information and willing to give informed consent; • Diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC and (are planned to) receive treatment with alectinib (Alecensa); • Use of alectinib of at least 14 days, to guarantee steady-state, and expected to continue treatment until end of study period; • WHO performance score with a maximum of 2; • Willing to follow dietary restrictions. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
A potential subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: • Unable to draw blood for study purposes; • Pregnant or lactating women; • Not willing/able to not use medication which are a substrate for Pgp and have a small therapeutic window during study period, e.g. digoxine, dabigatran, sirolimus, everolimus, topotecan, nilotinib and lapatinib. Due to P-gp inhibition of alectinib; • Not willing/able to not use medication which are a substrate for Pgp and have a small therapeutic window during study period, e.g. rosuvastatine, sulfasalazine, methotrexaat, topotecan, lapatinib and mitoxantron. Due to BRCP inhibition of alectinib; • Unwillingness to abstain from any other food or drinks than the prescribed restrictions 1 hour before and 2 hours after intake of alectinib at the pharmacokinetic sampling day; • Patients with known impaired drug absorption (e.g. gastrectomy and achlorhydria); • Allergic to compounds in yoghurt.
