Pharmacodynamics
Olaparib is an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, including PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3.
PARP enzymes are involved in normal cellular functions, such as DNA transcription and DNA repair.
Olaparib has been shown to inhibit growth of select tumor cell lines in vitro and decrease tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of human cancer, both as monotherapy or following platinum-based chemotherapy.
Increased cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity following treatment with olaparib were noted in cell lines and mouse tumor models with deficiencies in BRCA1/2, ATM, or other genes involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) of DNA damage and correlated with platinum response.
In vitro studies have shown that olaparib-induced cytotoxicity may involve inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complexes, resulting in DNA damage and cancer cell death.
In prostate cancer models, PARP1 has been shown to contribute to androgen receptor (AR) activity regulation; the combination of olaparib and AR inhibition resulted in cytotoxicity in vitro and anti-tumor activity in mouse xenograft models. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of olaparib on cardiac repolarization was assessed in 119 patients following a single dose of 300 mg and in 109 patients following multiple dosing of 300 mg twice daily.
No clinically relevant effect of olaparib on QT interval was observed. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The area under the curve (AUC) of olaparib increases approximately proportionally following administration of single doses of 25 mg to 450 mg (0.08 to 1.5 times the recommended dose) and maximal concentrations (C max ) increased slightly less than proportionally for the same dose range.
Olaparib showed time-dependent pharmacokinetics and an
AUC mean accumulation ratio of 1.8 is observed at steady state following a dose of 300 mg twice daily.
The mean (CV%) olaparib C max is 5.4 μg/mL (32%) and AUC is 39.2 μg*h/mL (44%) following a single 300 mg dose.
The mean steady state olaparib C max and AUC is 7.6 μg/mL (35%) and 49.2 μg*h/mL (44%), following a dose of 300 mg twice daily.
Following oral administration of olaparib, the median time to peak plasma concentration is 1.5 hours.
Co-administration of a high fat and high calorie meal (800-1000 kcal, 50% of the calorie content made up from fat) with olaparib slowed the rate (t max delayed by 2.5 hours) of absorption, but did not significantly alter the extent of olaparib absorption (mean AUC increased by approximately 8%).
The mean (± standard deviation) apparent volume of distribution of olaparib is 158 ± 136 L following a single 300 mg dose of Lynparza.
The protein binding of olaparib is approximately 82% in vitro.
The mean (± standard deviation) terminal plasma half-life of olaparib is 14.9 ± 8.2 hours and the apparent plasma clearance is 7.4 ± 3.9 L/h following a single 300 mg dose of Lynparza.
Metabolism Olaparib is metabolized by cytochrome
P450 (CYP) 3A in vitro.
Following an oral dose of radiolabeled olaparib to female patients, unchanged olaparib accounted for 70% of the circulating radioactivity in plasma.
It was extensively metabolized with unchanged drug accounting for 15% and 6% of radioactivity in urine and feces, respectively.
The majority of the metabolism is attributable to oxidation reactions with a number of the components produced undergoing subsequent glucuronide or sulfate conjugation.
Following a single dose of radiolabeled olaparib, 86% of the dosed radioactivity was recovered within a 7-day collection period, 44% via the urine and 42% via the feces.
The majority of the material was excreted as metabolites.
Specific Populations Patients with Renal Impairment
In a renal impairment trial, the mean AUC increased by 24% and C max by 15%, when olaparib was dosed in patients with mild renal impairment (CLcr=51-80 mL/min defined by the Cockcroft-Gault equation; n=13) and by 44% and 26%, respectively, when olaparib was dosed in patients with moderate renal impairment (CLcr=31-50 mL/min; n=13), compared to those with normal renal function (CLcr ≥81 mL/min; n=12).
There was no evidence of a relationship between the extent of plasma protein binding of olaparib and creatinine clearance.
There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CLcr ≤30 mL/min).
In a hepatic impairment trial, the mean AUC increased by 15% and the mean C max increased by 13% when olaparib was dosed in patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A; n=10) and the mean AUC increased by 8% and the mean C max decreased by 13% when olaparib was dosed in patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification B; n=8), compared to patients with normal hepatic function (n=13).
Hepatic impairment has no effect on the protein binding of olaparib and, therefore, total plasma exposure was representative of free drug.
There are no data in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification C).
CYP3A Inhibitors: Concomitant use of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased olaparib C max by 42% and AUC by 170%.
Concomitant use of fluconazole (moderate CYP3A inhibitor) is predicted to increase olaparib C max by 14% and AUC by 121%.
CYP3A Inducers: Concomitant use of rifampicin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased olaparib C max by 71% and AUC by 87%.
Concomitant use of efavirenz (moderate CYP3A inducer) is predicted to decrease olaparib C max by 31% and AUC by 60%.
In vitro Studies CYP Enzymes
Olaparib is both an inhibitor and inducer of CYP3A and an inducer of CYP2B6.
Olaparib is predicted to be a weak CYP3A inhibitor in humans.
Olaparib is an inhibitor of UGT1A1.
Olaparib is an inhibitor of BCRP, OATP1B1, OCT1, OCT2, OAT3, MATE1, and MATE2K.

Pregnancy
Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
There are no available data on
Lynparza use in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk.
In an animal reproduction study, the administration of olaparib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused teratogenicity and embryo-fetal toxicity at exposures below those in patients receiving the recommended human dose of 300 mg twice daily.
Apprise pregnant women of the potential hazard to the fetus and the potential risk for loss of the pregnancy.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
The estimated background risk in the
U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4%; and the risk for spontaneous abortion is approximately 15-20% in clinically recognized pregnancies.
In a fertility and early embryonic development study in female rats, olaparib was administered orally for 14 days before mating through to Day of pregnancy, which resulted in increased post-implantation loss at a dose level of 15 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 7% of the human exposure (AUC 0-24h ) at the recommended dose).
In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 0.05 and 0.5 mg/kg/day olaparib during the period of organogenesis.
A dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 0.18% of human exposure (AUC 0-24h ) at the recommended dose) caused embryo-fetal toxicities including increased post-implantation loss and major malformations of the eyes (anophthalmia, microphthalmia), vertebrae/ribs (extra rib or ossification center; fused or absent neural arches, ribs, and sternebrae), skull (fused exoccipital), and diaphragm (hernia).
Additional abnormalities or variants included incomplete or absent ossification (vertebrae/sternebrae, ribs, limbs) and other findings in the vertebrae/sternebrae, pelvic girdle, lung, thymus, liver, ureter, and umbilical artery.
Some findings noted above in the eyes, ribs, and ureter were observed at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day olaparib at lower incidence.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of
Lynparza have not been established in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
Of the 2901 patients with advanced solid tumors who received Lynparza as a single agent, 680 (23%) patients were aged ≥65 years, and this included 206 (7%) patients who were aged ≥75 years.
Thirteen (0.4%) patients were aged ≥85 years.
Of the 535 patients with advanced solid tumors who received Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily in combination with bevacizumab (PAOLA-1), 204 (38%) patients were aged ≥65 years, and this included 31 (6%) patients who were aged ≥75 years.
Of the 398 patients with advanced solid tumors who received Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily in combination with abiraterone and prednisone or prednisolone (PROpel), 268 (67%) patients were aged ≥65 years, and this included 95 (24%) patients who were aged ≥75 years.
No overall differences in the safety or effectiveness of Lynparza were observed between these patients and younger patients.
