Assessing Ribociclib–Acid Reducer Interactions with QbD Anal
2026-05-22
This study applies an Analytical Quality by Design (QbD) approach to rigorously evaluate whether acid-reducing agents significantly alter the solubility and absorption of ribociclib succinate, a weakly basic CDK4/6 inhibitor, under physiologically relevant pH conditions. Findings indicate that pH shifts from acid-reducing agents do not substantially impact ribociclib’s absorption, offering a framework for predicting drug–drug interactions in oncology.
