Abstract only 3566 Background: Brivanib alaninate (BMS-582664, B) is an oral prodrug of BMS-540215, a dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR and FGFR signaling pathways which are important for angiogenesis and tumor growth. The recommended phase II/III dose of B is 800 mg daily. Methods: A two-part, open-label, single-dose study was conducted in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Part A represented the period for assessment of the pharmacokinetics (PK), metabolism, and elimination of B, In part A, subjects received a single oral dose of 800 mg [ 14 C]-labeled B containing 100 μCi of total radioactivity (0.125 μCi/mg). Blood was collected at selected time points for analyses of PK, biotransformation, and total radioactivity over a 10-day period. Complete urinary and fecal output was collected over the 10-day period or until discharge, and analyzed for total radioactivity and biotransformation. Part B began when subjects completed Part A. Part B subjects received B administered orally at a dose of 800 mg once daily starting on approximately Day 15 to 17 of study. Subjects continued in this study until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 4 subjects (2 NSCLC, 1 ovarian, 1 renal cell carcinoma) were treated with B in both parts A & B. B was tolerable with few G3/4 AEs (increased fatigue, 1 event, cognitive disturbance, 1 event). The results revealed that B is completely converted to active moiety, BMS-540215, after oral administration. BMS-540215 is extensively metabolized in humans. Elimination is primarily via the feces. Following a single oral dose of [ 14 C]-labeled B, approximately 12% and 82% of the administered radioactivity was recovered in the urine and feces, respectively, within 10 days. BMS-540215 accounted for 0.00% and 7.4% of the administered dose in urine and feces, respectively, with the remainder of the dose being minor metabolites. The mean terminal t1/2 of BMS-540215 was 14 hours. Conclusions: After oral administration of single 800 mg oral doses of [ 14 C] B, BMS-540215 was found to be the major active circulating moiety in plasma (22.5%). BMS-540215 is primarily eliminated via metabolism. [ 14 C]-labeled B formulation was well tolerated with no AEs leading to the discontinuation of any subject. [Table: see text]
