Warnings
Contraindications
Severe hypersensitivity to capivasertib or any of its components
Cautions
May cause fetal harm, based on findings from animals and mechanism of action
Hyperglycemia
- Severe hyperglycemia associated with ketoacidosis occurred in clinical trials
- Safety has not been established in patients with type I diabetes or diabetes requiring insulin; patients with insulin-dependent diabetes were excluded from clinical trials
- Evaluate fasting glucose before initiating and during treatment
- If hyperglycemia occurs after treatment, monitor FG as clinically indicated, and at least twice weekly until FG decreases to normal levels
- See dosage modifications if patient experiences hyperglycemia during treatment
Diarrhea
- Severe diarrhea associated with dehydration may occur
- Monitor for signs and symptoms of diarrhea
- Advise patients to increase oral fluids and start antidiarrheal treatment at first sign of diarrhea while taking capivasertib
- See dosage modifications regarding withholding or reducing dose, or permanently discontinue drug based on severity
Cutaneous reactions
- Cutaneous adverse reactions may occur, which can be severe, including erythema multiforme (EM), palmoplantar erythrodysesthesia, and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)
- Monitor for signs and symptoms of cutaneous reactions
- See dosage modifications regarding withholding or reducing dose, or permanently discontinue drug based on severity
Drug interaction overview
- CYP3A substrate
-
Strong CYP3A inhibitors
- Avoid coadministration; if unable to avoid reduce capivasertib dose and monitor for adverse effects
- Strong CYP3A inhibitors increase capivasertib exposure
-
Moderate CYP3A inhibitors
- Modify dose
- Moderate CYP3A inhibitors increase capivasertib exposure; reduce capivasertib dose if coadministered
-
Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers
- Avoid coadministration
- Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decrease capivasertib exposure, which may reduce efficacy
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Based on findings in animals and mechanism of action, can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant females
Advise pregnant females and those who are of reproductive potential of potential fetal risk
Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential before initiating
Animal studies
- When administered to pregnant rats during organogenesis, capivasertib caused adverse developmental outcomes, including embryo-fetal mortality and reduced fetal weights at maternal exposures 0.7 times the human exposure (AUC) at the recommended dose of 400 mg twice daily
Contraception
- Females of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment with and for 1 month after last dose
- Males with female partners of reproductive potential: Use effective contraception during treatment with and for 4 months after last dose
Lactation
Data are unavailable regarding presence of capivasertib or its metabolites in human milk or their effects on milk production or breastfed children
Advise females not to breastfeed during treatment
Animal data
- Detected in plasma of suckling rat pups
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
AKT (protein kinase B [PKB]) is the collective name of a set of 3 serine/threonine-specific protein kinases
Capivasertib is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor of all 3 AKT isoforms (AKT1/2/3)
Inhibition of AKT prevents phosphorylation of AKT substrates that mediate cellular processes, such as cell division, apoptosis, and glucose and fatty acid metabolism

Peak plasma time: 1-2 hr
Peak plasma concentration: 1,371 ng/mL
AUC: 8,069 hr⋅ng/mL
Steady-state attained on 3rd and 4th dosing day each week, starting week 2
Distribution
Protein bound: 22%
Vd: 1,847 L
Plasma-to-blood ratio: 0.71
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and UGT2B7
Elimination
Half-life: 8.3 hr
Oral clearance: 50 L/hr
Renal clearance: 21% of total clearance
Excretion: Urine 45%; feces 50%
Administration
Oral Administration
May take with or without food
Swallow tablets whole; do not chew, crush, or split
Do not take tablets that are broken, cracked, or otherwise not intact
Missed or vomited dose
- Dose missed ≤4 hr of scheduled time: Take dose as soon as possible
- Dose missed by >4 hr of scheduled time: Skip dose and take next dose at its usual scheduled time
- Vomited dose: Do NOT to take an additional dose; take next dose at its usual scheduled time
