Relative Bioavailability of Binimetinib 3 x 15 mg and 45 mg Formulations

Summary

The current commercially available MEKTOVI® (binimetinib) 15 mg tablets are provided as immediate release film-coated tablets for oral administration. For the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAF V600 mutation, the recommended dosing regimen is 45 mg twice daily (bis in die, BID). No food effect with the commercial formulation of 15 mg was demonstrated. In order to reduce the patient's burden, a new strength tablet containing 45 mg of binimetinib as active ingredient is being developed. As a result, the number of tablets to be taken by the patients will be reduced from 6 tablets (6 x 15 mg) to 2 tablets (2 x 45 mg) per day. The evaluation of the relative bioavailability of the 45 mg tablet in comparison to three 15 mg tablets intake is therefore required.
