<strong>Therapeutic</strong> <strong>Goods</strong> <strong>Administration</strong><br />

In the PK studies, cabazitaxel was administered as a one hour intravenous (IV) infusion<br />

once every 3 weeks in studies TED 6188 (21 patients), TED 6190 (25 patients), BEX 6702<br />

(4 patients) TCD 6945 (34 patients), ARD 6191 (71 patients) and EFC 6193 (67 patients).<br />

In study TED 6189 (31 patients), cabazitaxel was administered weekly for 4 weeks of<br />

every 5 week cycle as a one hour IV infusion. In all the studies, PK sampling was<br />

performed on Days 1 and 22 of each cycle, over 2 consecutive cycles and possibly a third.<br />

The calculation of PK parameters was achieved using non-compartmental analysis, by<br />

individual modelling or by population PK analysis. The population PK study (POH 0124),<br />

used data from studies TED 6188, TED 6189, TED 6190, ARD 6191 and EFC 6193.<br />

Population PK corrected the impact of the different sampling durations after infusion,<br />

which ranged from 48 hours (h) to 240 h and demonstrated longer terminal half-life,<br />

larger volume of distribution at steady state and lower clearance values than those<br />

obtained in individual studies.<br />

<strong>Cabazitaxel</strong> was converted into 3 demethylated metabolites: RPR123142, RPR112698 and<br />

docetaxel. The main metabolite, RPR 123142, corresponded to 3.6% of radioactivity AUC<br />

and 5.1% of parent AUC. All the other circulating metabolites represented an average less<br />

than 2.3% radioactivity AUC (BEX 6702, MEH 0033).<br />

Absorption<br />

Sites and mechanisms of absorption<br />

The mean population PK predicted maximum concentration after an IV infusion of<br />

cabazitaxel 25 mg/m 2 over 1 h in 67 patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer<br />

(EFC 6193) was similar to the range of values obtained when cabazitaxel was<br />
