Evaluation of the potential effect of dacomitinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on ECG parameters in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer
2019
Purpose The study evaluated the potential effect of dacomitinib, a small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, on the electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, phase 2 study. Methods Patients received dacomitinib for six doses of 45 mg every 12 h in a 7-day lead-in cycle (cycle 0), then 60 mg every 12 h for six doses in a 14-day cycle (cycle 1). Clock time-matched triplicate ECGs were performed at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h on day 1 (baseline) and day 4 of cycle 0, and prior to dose on days 1 and 4 of cycle 1. The QT interval was corrected for heart rate using Fridericia’s correction (QTcF) and a study specific correction factor (QTcS). Results Thirty-two patients in the study comprised the QTc-evaluable population. Dacomitinib had no effect on the heart rate. The upper limits of the 95% confidence interval (CI) for the mean change from baseline in QTcF and QTcS were < 10 ms at all time points. A lack of relationship between plasma concentrations of dacomitinib or total active moiety on QTcF and QTcS was evidenced. All upper 90% CIs of the PR intervals were < 200 ms, although a small mean increase from baseline (2.7–6.6 ms) was observed. Conclusions There was a lack of a clinically relevant effect of dacomitinib on ECG parameters at dacomitinib concentrations comparable to those obtained at its highest therapeutic dosing regimen of 45 mg once daily.
