Patient case: 50-year-old male with prostate cancer; genetic feature: ATM deletion

Clinical trial: An Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) Study of Single Oral Dose [14C] GSK2118436 in Subjects With BRAF Mutant Solid Tumors

Summary: The study is a Phase 1, open-label study designed to characterize the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of GSK2118436 following administration of a single oral 14C labeled dose of GSK2118436 as a suspension in subjects with BRAF mutation positive tumors.

Detailed description: GSK2118436 is an orally administered, potent and selective small molecule BRAF inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of BRAF mutation-positive tumors. The study is a Phase 1, open-label study designed to characterize the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of GSK2118436 following administration of a single oral 14C labeled dose of GSK2118436 as a suspension in subjects with BRAF mutation positive tumors. A sufficient number of subjects will be enrolled to complete approximately four subjects. Following completion of the study, subjects may continue dosing with GSK2118436 in the rollover study, BRF114144.

  -  Presence of active gastrointestinal disease or other condition (e.g., gastrectomy, bariatric surgery, small bowel or large bowel resection) that may interfere significantly with the absorption of drugs. If clarification is needed as to whether a condition will significantly affect absorption of drugs, contact the GSK medical monitor for permission to enroll the subject;
  -  A history of known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection (subjects with laboratory evidence HBV clearance may be enrolled with permission of the GSK medical monitor);
  -  Patients with a history of malignancy that have been definitively treated can be enrolled with approval of the GSK medical monitor;
  -  Subjects with brain metastases are excluded if their brain metastases are either:

Subjects on a stable dose of corticosteroids for more than one month, or those who have been off corticosteroids for at least two weeks can be enrolled with approval of the GSK medical monitor. Subjects must also be off of enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants for more than four weeks;
