5.2    Pharmacokinetic properties

[...]

In adolescent patients with NF1 and inoperable PN treated with multiple doses of 25 mg/m² bid, co‑administration of selumetinib with a low-fat meal resulted in 24% lower C_max when compared to fasting administration. Selumetinib AUC was reduced by 8%, and t_max was delayed by approximately 0.57 hours (see section 4.2).

A population PK analysis including children and adolescent patients with NF1 and inoperable PN, adult patients with advanced solid malignancies and healthy adult subjects taken from 15 studies showed that concomitant administration of a low or high fat meal resulted in a mean decrease in the exposure (AUC) of selumetinib when compared to fasted administration (23.1% and 20.7%, respectively) which was not considered clinically relevant.
