Interventions

  • DrugPalbociclib alone

    A single 125 mg dose of palbociclib free base capsule given orally alone in the fed state, followed by 120 hours of PK sample collection.

    Also known as: Palbociclib, PD-0332991

  • DrugPalbociclib plus Modafinil

    For Cohort 1, modafinil 200 mg once daily for 7 days, followed by 400 mg once daily for 25 days; on Day 28, a single oral 125 mg dose of palbociclib will be given with modafinil after a meal, followed by 120 hours of PK sample collection.

    Also known as: Palbociclib (PD-0332991); Modafinil (Provigil)

  • DrugPalbociclib alone

    A single 125 mg dose of palbociclib free base capsule given orally alone in the fed state, followed by 120 hours of PK sample collection.

    Also known as: Palbociclib, PD-0332991

  • DrugPalbociclib plus pioglitazone

    For Cohort 2, pioglitazone 45 mg once daily for a total of 19 days; On Day 15, a single oral 125 mg dose of palbociclib will be given with pioglitazone after a meal, followed by 120 hours of PK sample collection.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Extrapolated Infinite Time [AUC (0 - 8)]

    AUC (0 - 8)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - 8). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - 8).

    Time frame: 0-120 hours

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: 0-120 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Plasma Palbociclib Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUClast)

    Area under the plasma concentration time-curve from zero to the last measured concentration (AUClast)

    Time frame: 0 to 120 hours

  2. Plasma Palbociclib Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Time frame: 0 to 120 hours

  3. Plasma Palbociclib Decay Half-Life (t1/2)

    Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half.

    Time frame: 0 to 120 hours

  4. Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F) of Palbociclib

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

    Time frame: 0 to 120 hours

  5. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of Palbociclib

    Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.

    Time frame: 0 to 120 hours

  6. Trough Plasma Concentrations of Modafinil, Modafinil sulfone, pioglitazone, hydroxy derivative of pioglitazone, and keto derivative of pioglitazone

    Time frame: 0 to 120 hours

  7. Time of last quantifiable concentration for palbociclib

    Time frame: 0 to 120 hours
