PG - 644-654 LID - 10.1111/ejh.14059 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Dasatinib and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) have revolutionized the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). However, as a lipophilic weak base, crystalline monohydrate, dasatinib (Sprycel(R)) is poorly soluble, rendering a pH-dependent absorption and a highly variable bioavailability. Thus, co-medication with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) profoundly impairs dasatinib uptake and is clearly recommended against. XS004 is a novel oral immediate release and amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) formulation of dasatinib and is bioequivalent to the original crystalline dasatinib at 30% lower dosages. XS004 is designed to mitigate gastric pH dependency, thus optimizing absorption and bioavailability. METHODS: We investigated the prevalence of dasatinib and PPI co-medication among chronic-phase CML patients in a real-world setting and assessed the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of XS004 with and without PPI co-medication (omeprazole) in healthy volunteers. RESULTS: Using the Swedish CML and Prescribed Drug Registers, we identified 676 TKI-treated CML patients; 320 (47%) had been prescribed PPI at some point after CML diagnosis. Among dasatinib-treated patients, the 2-year cumulative PPI co-medication was 24%. Interestingly, the 5-year overall survival was significantly lower for TKI-treated CML patients with versus without PPI co-medication (79% vs. 94%; hazard ratio 3.5; 95% confidence interval, 2.1-5.3; p < .0001). When assessing PK of XS004, neither C(max) nor area under the plasma concentration curve levels in plasma were significantly altered by the PPI co-medication. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, despite warnings, PPI co-medication is common among dasatinib-treated CML patients in a real-world setting. The new XS004 ASD formulation of dasatinib provided, in contrast to original crystalline dasatinib, superior pH independence with stable bioavailability, thereby minimizing drug-drug interactions. This may improve the long-term efficacy and tolerability of dasatinib in CML. CI - (c) 2023 The Authors. European Journal of Haematology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
