This study aimed to define the clinically relevant supratherapeutic dose of rilzabrutinib, an oral Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, and evaluate potential effects of therapeutic and supratherapeutic exposures on cardiac repolarization in healthy subjects. This was a two-part phase I study (anzctr.org.au ACTRN12618001036202). Part A was a randomized, open-label, three-period, single-dose crossover study (n = 12) with rilzabrutinib 100 mg ± ritonavir 100 mg or rilzabrutinib 1200 mg. Part B was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, four-way, single-dose crossover study (n = 39) with matched placebo, rilzabrutinib 400 mg ± ritonavir 100 mg, or moxifloxacin (positive control). Primary objectives: part A - pharmacokinetics (PK) of rilzabrutinib ± ritonavir, safety, and optimal dose for Part B; Part B - effect of rilzabrutinib therapeutic and supratherapeutic concentration on electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters. ECGs and PK samples were serially recorded before and post-dose. In part A, rilzabrutinib 100 mg + ritonavir led to 17-fold area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞ ) and 7-fold maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) increases over rilzabrutinib alone. Rilzabrutinib 1200 mg was discontinued due to mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal intolerance. In Part B, rilzabrutinib 400 mg + ritonavir increased rilzabrutinib mean AUC0-∞ from 454 to 3800 ng h/mL and Cmax from 144 to 712 ng/mL. The concentration-QTc relationship was slightly negative, shallow (-0.01 ms/ng/mL [90% CI -0.016 to -0.001]), and an effect >10 ms on QTcF could be excluded within the observed range of plasma concentrations, up to 2500 ng/mL. Safety was similar to other studies of rilzabrutinib. In conclusion, rilzabrutinib, even at supratherapeutic doses, had no clinically relevant effects on ECG parameters, including the QTc interval.
