Frequently asked questions about Rifampicin

What is Rifampicin used for?

Rifampicin is an antibiotic being studied in oncology clinical trials for its effects on drug interactions. It is being evaluated in patients with advanced solid tumours and EGFRm+ non small cell lung cancer, specifically to assess how it affects blood levels of other cancer drugs.

Who makes Rifampicin?

Rifampicin is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker symbol AZN. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's interactions with its oncology treatments.

What phase is Rifampicin in?

Rifampicin is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug being studied for its effects on drug metabolism in cancer patients, and it is not yet approved for any oncology indication.

What clinical trials is Rifampicin in?

Rifampicin has been studied in two completed Phase 1 trials. NCT01929603 assessed its effect on olaparib blood levels in patients with advanced solid tumours, and NCT02197247 assessed its effect on AZD9291 blood levels in patients with EGFRm+ non small cell lung cancer.

How does Rifampicin work?

Rifampicin is a CYP inducer, meaning it increases the activity of certain liver enzymes that metabolize drugs. This can lower blood levels of co-administered medications, which is why it is being studied to understand its interactions with cancer therapies.
