Background

Neratinib was approved in July 2017 for use as an extended adjuvant therapy in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer. Approval was granted to Puma Biotechnology Inc. for the tradename Nerlynx. Neratinib is currently under investigation for use in many other forms of cancer.

Pharmacodynamics

Neratinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which exhibits antitumor action against Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), HER2, and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 4 (HER4) postive carcinomas [FDA Label].

Mechanism of action

Neratinib binds to and irreversibly inhibits EGFR, HER2, and HER4 [FDA Label]. This prevents auotphoshorylation of tyrosine residues on the receptor and reduces oncogenic signalling through the mitogen-activated protein kinase and Akt pathways.

Humans
Absorption

Neratinib and its major active metabolites M3. M6, and M7 have a Tmax of 2-8 h [FDA Label]. Administration with a high fat meal increases Cmax by 1.7-fold and total exposure by 2.2-fold. Administration with a standard meal increases Cmax by 1.2-fold and total exposure by 1.1-fold. Administration with gastric acid reducing agents such as proton pump inhibitors reduces Cmax by 71% and total exposure by 65%.

Volume of distribution

The apparent volume of distribution at steady state is 6433 L [FDA Label].

Protein binding

Neratinib is over 99% bound to human plasma proteins [FDA Label]. It binds both human serum albumin and α1 acid glycoprotein.

Metabolism

Neratinib is mainly undergoes metabolism via CYP3A4 [FDA Label]. It is also metabolized by flavin-containing monooxygenase to a lesser extent. The systemic exposures of neratinib's active metabolites M3, M6, M7, and M11 are 15%, 33%, 22%, and 4%.

Route of elimination

97.1% of the total dose is excreted in the feces and 1.13% in the urine [FDA Label].

Half-life

The mean half life of elimination ranges from 7-17 h following a single dose [FDA Label]. The mean plasma half life during multiple doses is 14.6 h for neratinib, 21.6 h for M3, 13.8 h for M6, and 10.4 h for M7.

Clearance

The total clearance during multiple doses is 216 L/h for after the first dose and 281 L/h during steady state [FDA Label].

Toxicity

Use of neratinib may produce diarrhea and hepatotoxicity as clinically significant adverse effects [FDA Label]. Serious adverse reactions in the neratinib arm of the clinical trials included diarrhea (1.6%), vomiting (0.9%), dehydration (0.6%), cellulitis (0.4%), renal failure (0.4%), erysipelas (0.4%), alanine aminotransferase increase (0.3%), aspartate aminotransferase increase (0.3%), nausea (0.3%), fatigue (0.2%), and abdominal pain (0.2%).

DrugInteraction
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Neratinib can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Neratinib can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbemaciclibThe serum concentration of Abemaciclib can be increased when it is combined with Neratinib.
AcalabrutinibThe metabolism of Neratinib can be decreased when combined with Acalabrutinib.
AcetaminophenThe metabolism of Neratinib can be increased when combined with Acetaminophen.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A metabolism, which may increase the serum concentration of neratinib.
  • Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. This herb induces CYP3A metabolism and may reduce serum levels of neratinib.
  • Take at the same time every day.
  • Take separate from antacids. Take antacids at least 3 hours before or after neratinib.
  • Take with food.
