Figure Lengend Snippet: Arithmetic mean (± standard deviation for linear plot) tepotinib plasma concentration‐time profiles for tepotinib administered alone and in the presence of itraconazole. The horizontal line indicates the lower limit of quantification.

Article Snippet: The systemic clearance of tepotinib (as assessed following IV administration) is 12.8 L/h (~3 mL/min/kg), translating to a blood clearance of approximately 3–5 mL/min/kg, based on a blood: plasma ratio of 0.6–1.0 (the healthcare business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany; data on file), indicating a hepatic extraction ratio of approximately 0.15–0.25.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Tepotinib PBPK modeling. Panels A and B present simulated mean plasma concentration profiles and 90% prediction intervals (solid lines and shading) and mean observed plasma concentrations (dots) from Study 1 (A, N = 17) and Study 2 (B, N = 18), respectively. (Panel C) presents simulated geometric mean ratios (GMR) with 90% CI ( N = 400) for AUC 0‐∞ and C max (itraconazole coadministration) for different f mCYP3A4 , and with and without contribution of hepatic P‐gp to elimination and observed GMR with 90% CI from Study 1 ( N = 17). AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; C max , maximal plasma concentration; f mCYP3A4 , fraction metabolized by CYP3A4; GMR, geometric mean ratio; PBPK, physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic.
