Elderly: No dose adjustment is required for patients aged ≥65 years receiving this product.
Renal Impairment: No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. This product has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment. However, no dose adjustment is required in patients with severe renal impairment because of negligible excretion of aletinib through the kidneys (see [Precautions] and [Pharmacokinetics])
.
Hepatic impairment: No dose adjustment is required for patients with mild (Child-Pugh Class A) or moderate (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatic impairment. The dose for patients with severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment should be 450 mg administered orally twice daily (total daily dose of 900 mg) (see [Precautions] and [Pharmacokinetics]).
 [Adverse Reactions].
This instruction describes the adverse reactions that may be caused by aletinib and their approximate incidence as observed in clinical trials and post-marketing applications. Because clinical trials are conducted under a variety of different conditions, the incidence of adverse reactions observed in one clinical trial cannot be directly compared with the incidence of adverse reactions observed in another clinical trial and may not reflect the actual incidence in clinical practice.
Adverse reactions in clinical trials
Approximately 928 patients were treated with aletinib in clinical trials, of which 203 patients were treated with this product in a blinded state. In the pivotal phase II clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673), the safety of 253 patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer treated with aletinib 600 mg twice daily was evaluated with a median exposure time of 11 months (range: 0-35 months). In the phase III clinical trial BO28984, the safety of 152 patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer treated with aletinib 600 mg twice daily was evaluated with a median exposure time of 17.9 months.
The most common adverse drug reactions (≥20%) included constipation (36%), edema (34%, including peripheral edema, generalized edema, eyelid edema, and periorbital edema), myalgia (31%, including myalgia and musculoskeletal pain), nausea (22%), elevated bilirubin (21%, including elevated blood bilirubin, hyperbilirubinemia, and elevated conjugated bilirubin), anemia (20%, including anemia and decreased hemoglobin) and rash (20%, including rash, maculopapular rash, acneiform dermatitis, erythema, generalized rash, papulopapular rash, pruritic rash, and maculopapular rash).
Table 3 summarizes the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) that occurred in patients treated with this product in Phase II clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673) and in Phase III clinical trial BO28984.

 Further information on specific adverse reactions
The safety profile of aletinib in the pivotal Phase III trial BO28984 was generally consistent with the Phase II trials NP28761 and NP28673.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Non-Infectious Pneumonia
Severe interstitial lung disease/non-infectious pneumonia was observed in patients treated with aletinib in clinical trials. In three clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673, BO28984), one grade 3 interstitial lung disease event occurred in 1 patient (0.2%) of 405 patients treated with aletinib and resulted in patient withdrawal from treatment. In the phase III clinical trial BO28984, no grade 3 or 4 interstitial lung disease/non-infectious pneumonia occurred in patients treated with this product, and the incidence was 2.0% in patients treated with crizotinib. No fatal cases of interstitial lung disease have been reported in all clinical trials. Patients should be monitored for the development of pulmonary symptoms suggestive of non-infectious pneumonia (see [DOSAGE] and [PRECAUTIONS]).
Hepatotoxicity
In three clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673, BO28984), adverse reactions of elevated AST and ALT were reported in 15% and 14% of patients treated with aletinib, respectively. The majority of events were grade 1 and 2, with 3.7% of patients each reporting grade ≥3 AST or ALT elevation events. These events generally occurred within the first 3 months of treatment, were usually transient, and recovered after suspension of aletinib therapy (1.5% and 3.0% of patients, respectively) or dose reduction (2.2% and 1.2%, respectively). The drug was discontinued in 1.2% and 1.5% of patients due to elevated AST and elevated ALT, respectively. In three clinical trials, two patients who experienced grade 3-4 AST/ALT elevations had drug-related liver injury confirmed by liver biopsy, and one patient experienced a grade 4 drug-related liver injury adverse event; two of these cases withdrew from treatment with alectinib. 5% of patients treated with alectinib in the phase III clinical trial BO28984 each experienced grade 3 or 4 ALT or AST elevation, and 15% and 11% of patients receiving crizotinib, respectively.
In three clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673, BO28984), 18% of patients treated with aletinib reported adverse reactions of elevated bilirubin. Most events were grade 1 and 2; grade 3 events were reported in 3.2% of patients. These events generally occurred within the first 3 months of treatment, were usually transient, and most recovered after dose adjustment. Dose adjustment due to elevated bilirubin was reported in 5.2% of patients and withdrawal from aletinib treatment due to elevated bilirubin was reported in 1.5% of patients. In the phase III clinical trial BO28984, the incidence of grade 3 or 4 bilirubin elevations was 3.3% in patients treated with aletinib and no such events occurred in patients treated with crizotinib.
In clinical trials of this product, 1 patient (0.2%) had a concurrent ALT or AST elevation ≥3 x ULN and total bilirubin elevation ≥2 x ULN with normal alkaline phosphatase.
Liver function (including ALT, AST and total bilirubin) should be monitored (see [Precautions]) and dose adjusted (see [Dosage]).
Bradycardia
In three clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673, BO28984), grade 1 or 2 bradycardia was reported in 8.9% of patients treated with aletinib, and no patients experienced a grade ³3 event. Of the 365 patients treated with aletinib who had post-dose heart rate data, 66 patients (18%) had heart rates below 50 beats/min. In the phase III clinical trial BO28984, 15% of patients treated with aletinib had a heart rate of less than 50 beats/min after administration, compared with 20% of patients receiving crizotinib. Patients presenting with symptomatic bradycardia should be managed according to [DOSAGE] and [PRECAUTIONS]. No patients have discontinued the drug because of bradycardia.
Severe myalgia and elevated CPK
In three clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673, BO28984), 28% of patients treated with aletinib reported myalgia, including myalgic events (22%) and musculoskeletal pain (7.4%). Most events were grade 1 or 2, with grade 3 events occurring in 3 patients (0.7%). Only 2 patients (0.5%) required dose adjustment of aletinib due to adverse events; no patients withdrew from aletinib therapy because of myalgia events. 43% of 362 patients with CPK laboratory data had CPK elevations, and the incidence of grade 3 CPK elevations was 3.7%, with a median time to grade 3 CPK elevation of 14 days. 3.2% of patients had dose adjustments due to CPK dose adjustment due to CPK elevation; no patients withdrew from aletinib treatment due to CPK elevation. In the pivotal phase III trial BO28984, no severe myalgia was reported; grade 3 CPK elevation was reported in 2.6% of patients treated with aletinib and 1.3% of patients treated with crizotinib; the median time to onset of grade 3 CPK elevation was 27.5 days and 369 days, respectively.
Gastrointestinal reactions
The most frequently reported gastrointestinal reactions were constipation (35%), nausea (19%), diarrhea (16%), and vomiting (11%). Most events were mild or moderate in severity; Grade 3 events reported included diarrhea (0.7%), nausea (0.5%), and vomiting (0.2%). These events did not result in patient withdrawal from aletinib treatment. In each trial (NP28761, NP28673, BO28984), the median time to onset of constipation, nausea, diarrhea, and/or vomiting events was 21 days. The frequency of these events decreased after completion of Month 1 of treatment. In the phase III clinical trial BO28984, grade 4 nausea events occurred in 1 patient (0.2%) in the aletinib arm, and the incidence of grade 3 and 4 nausea, vomiting and diarrhea events in the crizotinib arm was 3.3%, 3.3% and 2.0%, respectively.

 [Precautions].
Interstitial lung disease (ILD)/non-infectious pneumonia
Cases of interstitial lung disease/non-infectious pneumonia have been reported in clinical trials of this product (see [Adverse Reactions]). Patients should be monitored for the development of pulmonary symptoms suggestive of non-infectious pneumonia. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of interstitial lung disease/non-infectious pneumonia should discontinue this product immediately and permanently if no other underlying cause of interstitial lung disease/non-infectious pneumonia is identified (see [DOSAGE]).
Hepatotoxicity
Patients in the pivotal clinical trial of this product experienced elevations of ALT and AST >5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and bilirubin >3 x ULN (see [Adverse Reactions]). Most events occurred within 3 months of initial treatment. In the pivotal clinical trial, pharmacologic liver injury occurred in 3 patients with grade 3-4 AST/ALT elevations. In the clinical trial, 1 treated patient had a concurrent ALT or AST elevation ≥ 3 x ULN and total bilirubin elevation ≥ 2 x ULN with normal alkaline phosphatase.
Liver function, including ALT, AST, and total bilirubin, should be monitored at baseline, biweekly for the initial 3 months of treatment, and periodically thereafter, as these events may occur after 3 months of treatment. More frequent monitoring should be performed in patients in whom elevated aminotransferases and bilirubin have occurred. Suspend treatment with this product depending on the severity of the adverse drug reaction, then reduce the dose and continue treatment, or discontinue treatment with this product permanently as described in Table 2 (see [DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]).
Severe Myalgia and Elevated Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK)
Myalgia and musculoskeletal pain, including grade 3 events, were reported in the pivotal clinical trial of this product.
Elevated CPK occurred in patients in pivotal clinical trials of this product, including Grade 3 events. The median time to occurrence of a Grade 3 CPK elevation was 14 days in pivotal Phase II clinical trials (NP28761, NP28673). In the pivotal phase III clinical trial (BO28984), the median time to onset of grade 3 CPK elevation was 27.5 days (see [Adverse Reactions]).
Patients are advised to report any unexplained myalgia, tenderness or weakness. Assess CPK levels biweekly during the first month of treatment and subsequently as needed in the clinic based on patient-reported symptoms. Suspend treatment with this product depending on the severity of CPK elevation and then resume treatment or reduce the dose (see [DOSAGE]).
Impaired Renal Function
In studies NP28761, NP28673, and BO28984, the incidence of grade ≥3 renal impairment was 1.7%, of which 0.5% were lethal events. 3.2% of patients required dose adjustment due to impaired renal function. The median time to grade ≥3 renal impairment was 3.7 months (range, 0.5 to 14.7 months).
If Grade 4 nephrotoxicity occurs, discontinue the product permanently. If Grade 3 nephrotoxicity occurs, discontinue the product until recovery to ≤1.5 × ULN and then resume therapy at the reduced dose (see [DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]).
Bradycardia
Symptomatic bradycardia can occur with this treatment (see [Adverse Reactions]). Heart rate and blood pressure should be monitored according to clinical indications. If asymptomatic bradycardia occurs, no dose adjustment is necessary (see [DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]). If a patient experiences symptomatic bradycardia or a life-threatening event, evaluate the combination of drugs known to cause bradycardia and antihypertensive agents and adjust the dose of this treatment as described in Table 2 (see [DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION] and [DRUG INTERACTIONS]).
Photosensitivity
Photosensitivity to sunlight has been reported with aletinib therapy (see [Adverse Reactions]). Patients should be advised to avoid prolonged sun exposure while taking this product and for at least 7 days after treatment has been discontinued. In addition, patients should be advised to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and lip balm (SPF ≥ 50) that protects against ultraviolet A (UVA)/ultraviolet B (UVB) rays to prevent possible sunburn.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

 Drug Interactions]
Effects of aletinib on other drugs
CYP substrates
In vitro studies have shown that neither clinically relevant concentrations of aletinib nor its major active metabolite (M4) inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 or CYP2D6. aletinib and M4 have weak time-dependent inhibition of CYP3A4. In vitro studies have shown a potentially weak induction of CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 by clinical concentrations of aletinib.
Results from a clinical drug-drug interaction study in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer demonstrated that multiple dosing of aletinib had no effect on exposure to midazolam, a sensitive CYP3A substrate. Therefore, no dose adjustment is required for coadministration with CYP3A substrates.
Although in vitro studies suggest that aletinib is an inhibitor of CYP2C8, physiological pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling supports the notion that clinically relevant concentrations of aletinib are unlikely to increase plasma concentrations of CYP2C8 substrates given in combination.
P-gp and BCRP substrates
In vitro, aletinib and M4 are inhibitors of the efflux transport protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). Therefore, aletinib may increase the plasma concentration of P-gp or BCRP transporter protein substrates given in combination (no more than a 2-fold increase in exposure is expected). Appropriate monitoring is recommended when alectinib is co-administered with therapeutically narrowed P-gp or BCRP substrates (e.g., digoxin, dabigatran, methotrexate).
Effect of other drugs on aletinib
In vitro data suggest that CYP3A4 is the primary enzyme mediating the metabolism of aletinib and its major active metabolite, M4, with CYP3A accounting for 40%-50% of total hepatic metabolism. m4 inhibits ALK in vitro with similar potency and activity to aletinib.
CYP3A inducers
The effect of 600 mg rifampicin (a strong CYP3A inducer) administered orally once daily in multiple consecutive doses versus 600 mg aletinib combined in a single oral dose on total exposure to aletinib and M4 was small (geometric mean ratio [90% confidence interval] with/without combined rifampicin dosing: Cmax: 0.96 [0.88 to 1.05], AUCinf. 0.82 [0.74 to 0.90]). Therefore, no dose adjustment is required when this product is combined with CYP3A inducers.
CYP3A inhibitors
The effect of 400 mg posaconazole (a strong CYP3A inhibitor) administered orally twice daily in multiple consecutive doses in combination with 300 mg aletinib as a single oral dose on total exposure to aletinib and M4 was small (geometric mean ratio [90% confidence interval] with/without posaconazole dosing: Cmax: 0.93 [0.81 to 1.08], AUCinf. 1.36 [1.24 ~1.49]). Therefore, no dose adjustment is required when this product is combined with CYP3A inhibitors.
Drugs that increase the pH of the stomach
Despite the pH-dependent in vitro water solubility of aletinib, a drug-drug interaction study specifically for 40 mg esomeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) once daily demonstrated no clinically relevant effect of this combined dosing on the total exposure of aletinib and M4. Therefore, no dose adjustment is required for the combined administration of this product with proton pump inhibitors or other drugs that increase gastric pH (e.g., H2 receptor antagonists or antacids).
Effect of transporter proteins on the disposition of aletinib
In vitro data suggest that aletinib is not a substrate for P-gp. Alectinib and M4 are also not substrates of BCRP or organic anion transporting peptide (OATP) 1B1/B3. However, M4 is a substrate of P-gp. Alectinib has an inhibitory effect on P-gp, so it is not expected that the combined administration of alectinib and P-gp inhibitors will have a relevant effect on M4 exposure.
 [Drug overdose].
No drug overdose occurred in clinical trials NP28761, NP28673 and BO28984. Patients who experienced an overdose should be closely monitored and provided with supportive treatment. There is no specific antidote for overdose of this product.
 [Clinical Trials].
Patients not previously treated with crizotinib
The safety and efficacy of aletinib was evaluated in a global randomized, open, phase III clinical trial (BO28984) in patients with primary treatment of ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Tissue samples from all patients were tested for positive ALK protein expression using Ventana anti-ALK (D5F3) immunohistochemistry (IHC) prior to randomization to the study.
A total of 303 patients were enrolled in the phase III trial, 151 of whom were randomized to the crizotinib arm and 152 to the alectinib arm, receiving oral treatment with this product at the recommended dose of 600 mg twice daily.
Stratification factors for randomization included Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) physical status score PS (0/1 vs. 2), ethnicity (Asian vs. non-Asian), and CNS metastases at baseline (yes vs. no). The primary endpoint of this clinical trial was progression-free survival (PFS) based on investigator-assessed (according to RECIST 1.1, the standard for evaluating efficacy in solid tumors), which proved superior to crizotinib. Baseline demographics and disease characteristics of the alectinib-treated group were: median age 58 years (54 years in the crizotinib group), 55% female (58% in the crizotinib group), 55% non-Asian (54% in the crizotinib group), 61% no history of smoking (65% in the crizotinib group), 93% with an ECOG PS score of 0 or 1 (93% in the crizotinib group), 97% developed stage IV disease (96% in the crizotinib group), 90% had adenocarcinoma histology (94% in the crizotinib group), 40% had CNS metastases at baseline (38% in the crizotinib group), and 17% had received prior CNS radiation therapy (14% in the crizotinib group).
The clinical trial met the primary endpoint at the time of the primary analysis. The effectiveness data are summarized in Table 5, and the Kaplan-Meier curve for investigator-assessed progression-free survival is shown in Figure 1. overall survival data were premature at the data cut-off date.

Patients previously treated with crizotinib
Two phase I/II clinical trials (NP28673 and NP28761) were conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of alectinib in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer who had previously received crizotinib.
Study NP28673
Study NP28673 is a Phase I/II single-arm, multicenter study conducted in patients with ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer who experienced disease progression while previously treated with crizotinib. Patients may have received prior chemotherapy in addition to crizotinib. A total of 138 patients were enrolled in the phase II portion of this study and received oral treatment with this product at the recommended dose of 600 mg twice daily.
The primary endpoint was the objective remission rate (ORR) in the total population (with and without prior cytotoxic chemotherapy) as assessed by the center’s independent review committee (IRC) (per RECIST 1.1). The co-primary endpoint is the objective remission rate (ORR) as assessed by the center IRC for patients previously exposed to cytotoxic chemotherapy treatment according to RECIST 1.1. The result was considered statistically significant if the lower confidence limit of the ORR estimate was above a pre-specified threshold (35%).
Patient demographics were consistent with the population of patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. The baseline demographic and disease characteristics of the total study population were 67% Caucasian, 26% Asian, 56% female, and median age 52 years. Most patients had no history of smoking (70%), and 90.6% had a baseline ECOG (Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group) physical status score of 0 or 1, and 9.4% had 2. At study entry, 99% of patients had stage IV disease, 61% had brain metastases, and 96% had adenocarcinoma. Of the patients included in the study, 20% had prior disease progression after receiving crizotinib only and 80% had prior disease progression after receiving crizotinib and chemotherapy.
Study NP28761
Study NP28761 is a phase I/II single-arm, multicenter study in patients with ALK-positive advanced non-small press lung cancer whose disease progressed after prior treatment with crizotinib. Patients may have received prior chemotherapy in addition to crizotinib. A total of 87 patients were enrolled in the phase II portion of this study and received oral treatment with this product at the recommended dose of 600 mg twice daily.
The primary endpoint was the objective remission rate (ORR) as assessed by the central IRC according to RECIST version 1.1. The outcome was considered statistically significant if the lower confidence limit of the ORR estimate was above a pre-specified threshold (35%).
Patient demographics were consistent with the population of patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer. The demographic characteristics of the total study population were: 84% Caucasian, 8% Asian, 55% female, and a median age of 54 years. Most patients had no history of smoking (62%), and 89.7% had a baseline ECOG physical status score of 0 or 1 and 10.3% had a score of 2. At study entry, 99% of patients had stage IV disease, 60% had brain metastases, and 94% had adenocarcinoma. Of the patients included in the study, 26% had previously progressed disease after receiving crizotinib only and 74% had progressed disease after previous treatment with crizotinib and chemotherapy.

  Chinese data
Chinese patient subgroup data from global study BO28984
A total of 43 Chinese patients (18 in the crizotinib group and 25 in the alectinib group) were enrolled in the global clinical trial BO28984, of whom 10 were from mainland China, 19 from Hong Kong, China, and 14 from Taiwan, China. The efficacy data for the Chinese patient subgroup were consistent with the overall data in terms of the primary endpoint (investigator-assessed PFS) and key secondary endpoints (time to CNS progression as assessed by IRC, etc.). The median exposure time for aletinib in the Chinese patient subgroup was 13 months. Safety data for Chinese patients were consistent with the overall data.
 Pharmacology and Toxicology]
Pharmacological effects
Alectinib is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of ALK and RET tyrosine kinases. In non-clinical studies, inhibition of ALK tyrosine kinase activity blocked the activation of downstream signaling pathways STAT3 and PI3K/AKT and induced tumor cell death (apoptosis).
Alectinib and the major metabolite (M4) inhibit mutant forms of ALK enzymes in vitro and in vivo, including mutant forms that lead to crizotinib resistance. The major metabolite of aletinib (M4) has similar potency and activity in vitro.
Non-clinical studies have shown that aletinib induces regression and prolonged survival in tumors carrying ALK fusion genes in non-clinical mouse xenograft tumor models, including animal models of intracranial tumors.
Toxicology Studies
General Toxicology
In repeated dosing toxicity tests in rats and monkeys, toxic target organs at clinically relevant exposure levels included, but were not limited to, the erythrocyte system, gastrointestinal tract, and hepatobiliary system.
Abnormal erythrocyte morphology was seen at exposures equal to or greater than 10%-60% (by AUC) of exposures at the recommended human dose administration. Extended mucosal proliferation zones in the gastrointestinal tract were seen in both rats and monkeys at exposures equal to or greater than 20%-120% of the AUC exposure at the recommended human dose. At exposures equal to or greater than 20%-30% of the recommended human dose (by AUC), not only elevated hepatic alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and direct bilirubin, but also vacuolation/degeneration/necrosis of the bile duct epithelium and enlarged/focal necrosis of hepatocytes were observed in rats and/or monkeys.
The results of general toxicology studies also showed no adverse effects on male and female reproductive organs in rats and monkeys at exposure levels equal to or greater than 2.6 and 0.5 times the recommended human dose (in terms of AUC).
Mild hypotensive effects were seen in monkeys at exposure levels near clinically relevant.
No separate juvenile animal studies were conducted. Dental and bone growth changes were observed in rats at doses equal to or greater than 4.5 times the recommended human dose, with dental changes including discoloration, changes in tooth size, and concomitant histopathological destruction of enamel-forming cells and dentin-forming cell layers. A reduction in bone trabeculae and increased osteoclast activity in the femur and sternum were also observed.
Genotoxicity
The results of the Ames test for alectinib were negative, while the results of the chromosomal aberration test for Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells under metabolic activation conditions and the bone marrow micronucleus test for mice were positive.
Reproductive toxicity
Administration of aletinib during organogenesis in pregnant rats and rabbits at 2.7 times the recommended human dose (based on AUC) caused maternal toxicity and resulted in embryo-fetal toxicity and abortion. The same dose in pregnant rats resulted in small fetuses with delayed ossification and minor organ abnormalities. Pre-test results of embryo-fetal toxicity in rabbits showed that oral administration of aletinib at 27 mg/kg/day (about 2.9 times the AUC (0-24h,ss) of the human dose exposure) during organogenesis caused maternal toxicity and resulted in abortion and total embryo-fetal death in 3/6 pregnant rabbits and few surviving fetuses in the remaining 3 pregnant rabbits, visible reduction in fetal and placental weight, post-esophageal subclavian artery. Pre-test results of embryo-fetal toxicity in rats showed that oral administration of aletinib at 27 mg/kg/day (approximately 4.5 times the human dose exposure AUC (0-24h,ss)) during organogenesis caused total embryo-fetal loss in all pregnant rats; doses ≥9 mg/kg/day (approximately 2.7 times the human dose exposure AUC (0-24h,ss)) caused maternal toxicity and developmental toxicity, including reduced fetal weight, dilated renal pelvis, thymus cord, small ventricles and thin ventricular walls, and reduced number of sacral and caudal vertebrae.
Animal fertility studies have not been conducted to evaluate the effects of this product on fertility, and no effects on the reproductive organs of male or female animals have been observed in general toxicity studies.
Carcinogenicity
Carcinogenicity tests have not been conducted.
Other
Aletinib absorbs ultraviolet light at wavelengths of 200 to 400 nm, and an in vitro photosafety study in murine fibroblast cultures showed that aletinib may be phototoxic following UVA exposure.
Aletinib crossed the rat blood-brain barrier and remained in brain tissue, with CNS-plasma radioactivity ratios ranging from 0.9 to 1.5 at 24 hours post-dose.
 
 Pharmacokinetics]
The pharmacokinetic parameters of aletinib and its major active metabolite (M4) were studied in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer and in healthy subjects. The geometric means (coefficient of variation %) of steady-state Cmax, Cmin and AUC 0-12hr for aletinib were approximately 665 ng/mL (44.3%), 572 ng/mL (47.8%) and 7430 ng*h/mL (45.7%), respectively. geometric means (coefficient of variation %) of steady-state Cmax, Cmin and AUC 0-12hr for M4 were approximately 246 ng/mL (44.3%), 572 ng/mL (47.8%) and 7430 ng*h/mL (45.7%), respectively. ) were approximately 246 ng/mL (45.4%), 222 ng/mL (46.6%), and 2810 ng*h/mL (45.9%), respectively.
Absorption
After oral administration of 600 mg aletinib twice daily with meals in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer, aletinib was rapidly absorbed, with blood levels peaking after approximately 4 to 6 hours.
Steady state was reached on day 7 after 600 mg twice daily and remained stable thereafter. For the 600 mg twice-daily dosing regimen, the geometric mean accumulation ratio estimated by population pharmacokinetic analysis was 5.6. Population pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated a dose proportionality for aletinib at 300 to 900 mg after meals.
In healthy subjects, the absolute bioavailability of postprandial administration of aletinib was 36.9% (90% CI: 33.9%, 40.3%).
Following a single oral dose of 600 mg of aletinib with a high-fat, high-calorie meal, there was a 3-fold increase in exposure relative to fasting dosing (geometric mean ratio [90% CI] for combined exposure to aletinib and M4: Cmax: 3.31 [2.79 ~3.93], AUCinf: 3.11 [2.73 ~3.55]).
Distribution
Alectinib and its major metabolite M4 are highly bound to human plasma proteins (>99%), independent of drug concentration. At clinically relevant concentrations, the mean human blood-plasma concentration ratios of aletinib and M4 in vitro were 2.64 and 2.50, respectively.
The geometric mean of the steady-state volume of distribution (Vss) of aletinib after intravenous administration was 475 L, indicating that aletinib is widely distributed in tissues.
Metabolism
In vitro metabolism studies have shown that CYP3A4 is the major CYP isoenzyme mediating the metabolism of aletinib and its major metabolite, M4, accounting for an estimated 40-50% of aletinib metabolism in human hepatocytes. Results from human mass balance studies indicate that aletinib and M4 are the major circulating forms in plasma, with aletinib and M4 accounting for approximately 76% of the total radioactivity in plasma. The geometric mean ratio of metabolites/parent compound at steady state was 0.399.
Clearance
Following a single oral dose of 14C-labeled aletinib in healthy subjects, most of the radioactivity was excreted via the feces (mean recovery: 97.8%, range: 95.6%-100%), with minimal excretion in the urine (mean recovery: 0.46%, range: 0.30%-0.60%). Eighty-four percent and 5.8% of the dose was excreted in the feces as aletinib prodrug or M4, respectively.
The apparent clearance (CL/F) of aletinib was 81.9 L/h based on population pharmacokinetic analysis. The geometric mean of the individual elimination half-life of aletinib was estimated to be 32.5 h. The corresponding values for M4 were 217 L/h and 30.7 h, respectively.
Children
No pharmacokinetic studies have been conducted in the pediatric population.
Older adults
The results of a population pharmacokinetic analysis in patients aged 21-83 years indicate that age does not affect the exposure of this product.
Impaired Renal Function
Excretion of aletinib as prodrug from the urine and the active metabolite M4 is negligible (< 0.2% of the dose). Data obtained in patients with mild and moderate renal impairment suggest that renal impairment does not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of aletinib. No formal pharmacokinetic studies have been conducted in patients with severe renal impairment, and no relevant population pharmacokinetic data have been collected. However, since renal excretion of aletinib is negligible, no dose adjustment is required in patients with impaired renal function.
Impaired hepatic function
Because the metabolism of aletinib is accomplished primarily through the liver, impaired hepatic function may increase the plasma concentration of aletinib and/or its major active metabolite, M4. Population pharmacokinetic analysis showed similar exposure to aletinib and M4 between patients with mildly impaired hepatic function (baseline total bilirubin ≤ ULN and baseline AST > ULN or baseline total bilirubin > 1.0-1.5 x ULN and any baseline AST) and normal hepatic function (total bilirubin ≤ ULN as well as AST ≤ ULN).
The combined exposure to aletinib and M4 was slightly increased in moderately (Child-Pugh Class B) hepatically impaired subjects following a single oral dose of 300 mg aletinib compared to healthy subjects (geometric mean ratio [90% confidence interval] for moderately hepatically impaired/healthy subjects: Cmax: 1.16 [0.786-1.72]. (AUCinf: 1.36 [0.947-1.96]). The combined exposure to aletinib and M4 increased more in subjects with severe (Child-Pugh Class C) hepatic impairment after a single oral dose of 300 mg aletinib compared to healthy subjects (geometric mean ratio [90% confidence interval] for those with severe hepatic impairment/healthy subjects: Cmax: 0.981 [0.517-1.86] AUCinf: 1.76 [0.984-3.15]).
Racial factors
The pharmacokinetic profile of aletinib and its main active metabolite (M4) was analyzed in 20 Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
The clinical pharmacokinetic profile of aletinib and M4 in Chinese patients after a single oral dose of aletinib 600 mg as well as multiple oral doses of aletinib 600 mg twice daily was generally consistent with that in white patients in the phase I/II clinical trial NP28763.
