First-in-human phase 1 trial evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, GDC-2394, in healthy volunteers.

ABSTRACT: Inappropriate and chronic activation of the cytosolic NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, a key component of innate immunity, likely underlies several inflammatory diseases, including coronary artery disease. This first-in-human phase I trial evaluated safety, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of oral, single (150-1800 mg) and multiple (300 or 900 mg twice daily for 7 days) ascending doses (SADs and MADs) of GDC-2394, a small-molecule inhibitor of NLRP3, versus placebo in healthy volunteers. The study also assessed the food effect on GDC-2394 and its CYP3A4 induction potential in food-effect (FE) and drug-drug interaction (DDI) stages, respectively. Although GDC-2394 was adequately tolerated in the SAD, MAD, and FE cohorts, two participants in the DDI stage experienced grade 4 drug-induced liver injury (DILI) deemed related to treatment, but unrelated to a PK drug interaction, leading to halting of the trial. Both participants experiencing severe DILI recovered within 3 months. Oral GDC-2394 was rapidly absorbed; exposure increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner with low-to-moderate intersubject variability. The mean terminal half-life ranged from 4.1 to 8.6 h. Minimal accumulation was observed with multiple dosing. A high-fat meal led to delays in time to maximum concentration and minor decreases in total exposure and maximum plasma concentration. GDC-2394 had minimal CYP3A4 induction potential with the sensitive CYP3A4 substrate, midazolam. Exploratory ex vivo whole-blood stimulation assays showed rapid, reversible, and near-complete inhibition of the selected PD biomarkers, IL-1β and IL-18, across all tested doses. Despite favorable PK and target engagement PD, the GDC-2394 safety profile precludes its further development.

Project description:PurposeEvogliptin (DA-1229) is a novel, potent, and selective dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor in clinical development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles and tolerability of evogliptin after repeated oral administration in healthy subjects.Patients and methodsA block-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose, dose-escalation study was performed in a total of 30 subjects. Repeated once-daily doses of 5, 10, or 20 mg evogliptin or the same doses of placebo were orally administered to ten subjects in each dosage group for 10 days. Subjects in each group were randomized to receive evogliptin or placebo with a ratio of 8:2. Pharmacokinetics of evogliptin were evaluated, with its concentrations in serial plasma and urine samples collected following the first and last administrations. DPP-IV activity and glucagon-like peptide-1, glucose, and insulin levels were quantified to evaluate evogliptin's pharmacodynamics on the first and last dosing days.ResultsAll participants completed the study without any serious or severe adverse event. The evogliptin plasma concentration reached its peak within 4-5 hours and decreased relatively slowly, with a terminal elimination half-life of 33-39 hours. Repeated administration resulted in a 1.4- to 1.5-fold accumulation. Evogliptin's systemic exposure and inhibition of plasma DPP-IV activity increased in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of DPP-IV activity >80% was sustained over 24 hours in all evogliptin dose groups and provided an increase in postprandial active glucagon-like peptide-1 levels by 1.5- to 2.4-fold. Postprandial glucose levels in the evogliptin-treated groups were reduced 20%-35% compared to placebo, but were not accompanied by increased insulin levels.ConclusionRepeated administration of evogliptin in healthy subjects was well tolerated and exhibited linear pharmacokinetics within the 5-20 mg dose range. A once-daily regimen of 5-20 mg evogliptin effectively inhibited DPP-IV activity.

Project description:Background and objectivesIn the proximal tubule, basic drugs are transported from the renal cells to the tubule lumen through the concerted action of the H(+)/organic cation antiporters, multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) 1 and MATE2K. Dual inhibitors of the MATE transporters have been shown to have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of concomitantly administered basic drugs. However, the clinical impact of selective renal organic cation transport inhibition on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of basic drugs, such as metformin, is unknown. This study sought to identify a selective MATE2K inhibitor in vitro and to determine its clinical impact on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of metformin in healthy subjects.MethodsStrategic cell-based screening of 71 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications was conducted to identify selective inhibitors of renal organic cation transporters that are capable of inhibiting at clinically relevant concentrations. From this screen, nizatidine was identified and predicted to be a clinically potent and selective inhibitor of MATE2K-mediated transport. The effect of nizatidine on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of metformin was evaluated in 12 healthy volunteers in an open-label, randomized, two-phase crossover drug-drug interaction (DDI) study.ResultsIn healthy volunteers, the MATE2K-selective inhibitor nizatidine significantly increased the apparent volume of distribution, half-life, and hypoglycemic activity of metformin. However, despite achieving unbound maximum concentrations greater than the in vitro inhibition potency (concentration of drug producing 50% inhibition [IC50]) of MATE2K-mediated transport, nizatidine did not affect the renal clearance (CLR) or net secretory clearance of metformin.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that a selective inhibition of MATE2K by nizatidine affected the apparent volume of distribution, tissue concentrations, and peripheral effects of metformin. However, nizatidine did not alter systemic concentrations or the CLR of metformin, suggesting that specific MATE2K inhibition may not be sufficient to cause renal DDIs with metformin.
