Project description:Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited metabolic disease caused by deficient activity of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Efzimfotase alfa (ALXN1850) is a second-generation TNSALP enzyme replacement therapy in development for HPP. This first-in-human open-label, dose-escalating phase 1 trial evaluated efzimfotase alfa safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity. Fifteen adults (5/cohort) with HPP received efzimfotase alfa in doses of 15 mg (cohort 1), 45 mg (cohort 2), or 90 mg (cohort 3) as one intravenous (i.v.) dose followed by 3 weekly subcutaneous (s.c.) doses. The primary objective was to assess safety and tolerability. Secondary objectives included pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics of ALP substrates known to be biomarkers of disease (inorganic pyrophosphate [PPi] and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate [PLP]) and immunogenicity. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 12 (80%) participants. Eight (53%) participants had injection site reactions (ISRs), observed after 10 of 41 (24%) s.c. injections. Most ISR TEAEs were mild and resolved within 1-2 d. Peak and total exposures of efzimfotase alfa increased in a greater-than-dose proportional manner over the range of 15-90 mg after i.v. and s.c. dosing. The arithmetic mean elimination half-life was approximately 6 d; absolute bioavailability was 28.6%-36.8% over the s.c. dose range of 15-90 mg. Dose-dependent reductions in plasma concentrations of PPi and PLP relative to baseline reached nadir in the first week after i.v. dosing and were sustained for 3-4 wk after the last s.c. dose. Four (27%) participants tested positive for antidrug antibodies (ADAs), 3 of whom were ADA positive before the first dose of efzimfotase alfa. ADAs had no apparent effect on efzimfotase alfa pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. No participants had neutralizing antibodies. Efzimfotase alfa demonstrated acceptable safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles and was associated with sustained reductions in biomarkers of disease in adults with HPP, supporting further evaluation in adult and pediatric patients.

Project description:BackgroundCeftobiprole is a novel β-lactam cephalosporin with activity against Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The aim of the present study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), safety and tolerance of ceftobiprole in Chinese participants, to evaluate this dosage regimen for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in China.MethodsThe use of ceftobiprole was investigated in a single-center, open-label, single- and multiple-dose study using 12 healthy Chinese participants (6 males and 6 females). Ceftobiprole plasma and urine concentrations were analyzed using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. The PK/PD characteristics of 500 mg ceftobiprole every 8 h at 1.5-, 2-, 3-, or 4-h infusion time were analyzed by Monte Carlo simulations (MCS).ResultsThe maximum plasma concentration of ceftobiprole was observed 2 h after dosage; its terminal half-life was about 3 h. Ceftobiprole was predominantly eliminated in urine, and the cumulative excretion in 24 h was >90%. There was no accumulation after multiple dosing. Both single and multiple doses were well tolerated, with no severe or serious adverse events (AEs). PK/PD analysis indicated that Staphylococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were sensitive to ceftobiprole. About half of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) non-producing Enterobacteriaceae are sensitive to ceftobiprole, according to PK/PD results of ceftobiprole. For Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), no regimen was found to be effective against strains.ConclusionsThe PK/PD results indicated that 500 mg ceftobiprole every 8 h at 2-h infusion time is expected to achieve good microbiological efficacy in the treatment of CAP and HAP in China.

Project description:Objective: Omadacycline is a new type of aminomethylcycline antibiotic, having a broad antibacterial spectrum. But the pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety profile of the Chinese population remain unknown. It is also unclear whether the US-approved treatment regimen is applicable for the Chinese population. Methods: In a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled dose-escalated trial, the pharmacokinetics of omadacycline was evaluated by a non-compartmental and compartmental model. Monte Carlo simulations were performed using the pharmacokinetic data from the Chinese population to evaluate the probability of target attainment (PTA) and the cumulative fraction of response (CFR) of the US FDA-approved dose regimen. Results: The three-compartment model successfully described the rapid distribution and slow elimination of omadacycline after the intravenous infusion (i.v.). The double-peak concentration-time curve of the oral absorption (p.o.) was explained by the two-compartment model with two absorption compartments. The steady-state AUC of 100 mg omadacycline i.v. and 300 mg omadacycline p. o. were 12.1 and 19.4 mg h/L, respectively. Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) analysis showed that the omadacycline dosing regimen with a loading dose (200 mg i.v. q24 h, 100 mg i.v. q12 h, 450 mg p. o. q24 h × 2 days or 300 mg p. o. q12 h) and maintenance dose (100 mg i.v. q24 h or 300 mg p. o. q24 h) could cover the main pathogens of the indications acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP): Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Also, omadacycline had showed a good safety profile in the Chinese population. Conclusions: With the evidence provided, omadacycline could be a novel treatment option to Chinese patients with ABSSSI and CABP.

Project description:AimsTo characterize the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of esaxerenone, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, in healthy adult Japanese men.MethodsDouble-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential, dose-escalation studies were conducted in subjects randomized to receive oral once-daily esaxerenone (ranges: 5-200 mg [single-dose]; 10-100 mg over 10 days [multiple-dose]) or placebo under fasting conditions. Plasma concentrations were analysed by liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by noncompartment analysis. Plasma/urine levels of pharmacodynamic biomarkers for mineralocorticoid receptor activity were evaluated.ResultsIn total, 48/48 and 39/40 subjects completed the single- and multiple-dose studies, respectively. Exposures were generally dose-proportional. The tmax , t1/2 and CL/F remained unchanged, independent of dose; the respective ranges were 1.5-4.0 h, 22.3-25.1 h, and 4.0-5.2 l h-1 (multiple-dose study). Vz /F ranged from 136.5 to 283.7 l in the multiple-dose study, and exposure reached steady state by day 4. The mean observed accumulation ratio, by dose, ranged from 1.36-1.98. The urinary Na+ /K+ ratio increased after single-dose administration; however, its relationship to the doses tested remains unclear. Plasma renin activity, active renin concentration and aldosterone concentration increased dose-dependently. Although blood potassium levels increased dose-dependently in the multiple-dose study (reaching a maximum mean ± standard deviation of 4.63 ± 0.354 mmol l-1 in the 100-mg group), no safety/tolerability-related problems were detected in either study.ConclusionsExposure levels in healthy adults receiving esaxerenone were generally dose-proportional. Dose-dependent changes in plasma pharmacodynamic biomarkers for the mineralocorticoid receptor were identified during multiple-dose treatment and support the pharmacological activity of esaxerenone. No important safety concerns were identified.

Project description:BackgroundAPN01 is a soluble recombinant human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (rhACE2), a key player in the renin-aldosterone-angiotensin system (RAAS). In clinical studies, APN01 was administered intravenously only, so far. The aim of this study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05065645) was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of inhaled APN01.MethodsThis was a phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study. Inhalation was conducted via a nebuliser over 15 min in three single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts (n=24) and two multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts (n=16: every 12 h for 7 days). Doses in the SAD cohort were 1.25, 2.5 and 5 mg·mL-1; doses in the MAD cohort were 2.5 and 5 mg·mL-1. Safety (including adverse events (AEs), laboratory findings and lung function results), PK and PD data were assessed.ResultsIn the SAD and MAD cohorts, treatment-related AEs were slightly more frequent in the active treatment group than in the placebo group. AEs were mild to moderate, with no dose-limiting toxicities. No clinically relevant changes in lung function and laboratory results were observed. The mean maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) values after single and multiple doses of 5 mg·mL-1 APN01 were 1.88 and 6.61 ng·mL-1, respectively. Among the PD variables, significance was found for ACE2 and angiotensin 1-5.ConclusionsThe application of aerosolised APN01 is safe and well tolerated after single and multiple doses. By achieving a high local concentration in the lungs and low systemic bioavailability, inhaled rhACE2 may present a therapeutic option in ACE2-related diseases.

Project description:This phase 1, open-label, single-center study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of single-dose emicizumab in healthy Chinese males. Overall, 16 subjects received a single subcutaneous dose of 1-mg/kg emicizumab. Blood samples were obtained before dosing on day 1 and at regular intervals over 16 weeks after dosing for PK evaluation. A single 1-mg/kg subcutaneous dose of emicizumab was safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese male subjects in the study. Mean (± standard deviation) area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity and maximum concentration were 287 ± 74.2 μg⋅d/mL and 7.11 ± 1.77 μg/mL, respectively, with a terminal half-life of 26.7 (±4.3) days. Emicizumab administration did not show significant impact on pharmacodynamic markers tested, which mostly remained stable throughout the study. One subject tested positive for antidrug antibody, with no impact on his PK or safety profile. Compared with results from healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects receiving the same dose in previous clinical trials, the current results further indicated the absence of difference of emicizumab PK profile across Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasian subjects, validating the use of similar therapeutic doses in Asian and non-Asian populations.

Project description:AimsHuman genetic, tissue expression, proteomics, transcriptomics and nonclinical studies implicate tumour necrosis factor α-like ligand 1A (TL1A) as a novel target in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). PF-06480605, a fully human immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody, targets TL1A. This first-in-human, Phase 1, dose-escalation study assessed safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) PF-06480605 in healthy subjects (NCT01989143).MethodsNinety-two subjects were randomized to single ascending doses (SAD), PF-06480605 1 mg, 3 mg, 10 mg, 30 mg, 100 mg, 300 mg, 600 mg or 800 mg IV, or multiple ascending doses (MAD), PF-06480605 3 × 500 mg IV, or 3 × 30 mg, 3 × 100 mg, or 3 × 300 mg SC every 2 weeks for three doses, or placebo. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity profiles and total TL1A, anti-drug antibody (ADA) and neutralizing antibody (NAb) levels were assessed at pre-determined times.ResultsPF-06480605 SAD up to 800 mg IV and MAD up to 300 mg ×3 SC and 500 mg ×3 IV were well tolerated. Overall, there were 45 and 44 treatment-emergent adverse events in SAD and MAD cohorts, respectively, and no deaths or serious adverse events. PF-06480605 exposure generally increased dose-dependently. ADA and NAb levels did not impact safety, pharmacokinetics, or pharmacodynamics at higher doses. Target engagement was demonstrated through dose-dependent differences in serum total soluble TL1A concentrations for PF-06480605 vs placebo cohorts.ConclusionsPF-06480605 was generally well tolerated, and binding of soluble TL1A was maintained throughout the dose interval, supporting further study of PF-06480605 in patients with IBD and other inflammatory conditions.

Project description:Lemborexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist, is approved for the treatment of insomnia and is under investigation for treating other sleep disorders. Here we summarize pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety data from 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 studies: single ascending doses in healthy adults (Study 001; 1-200 mg; N = 64), multiple ascending doses in healthy and elderly adults (Study 002; 2.5-75 mg; N = 55), and multiple doses in healthy white and Japanese adults (Study 003; 2.5-25 mg; N = 32). Lemborexant exposure increased with increasing dose. The time to maximum concentration ranged from approximately 1 to 3 hours for the 5- and 10-mg doses. The mean effective half-life was 17 hours for lemborexant 5 mg and 19 hours for lemborexant 10 mg. The plasma concentration at 9 hours postdose was 27% of the maximum concentration following multiple dosing with lemborexant 10 mg. There were no clinically relevant effects on next-morning residual sleepiness (Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, Digital Symbol Substitution Test, Psychomotor Vigilance Test) for doses through 10 mg/day, indicating no effect of residual plasma concentrations on next-day residual effects. Lemborexant was well tolerated across the doses tested. There were no clinically relevant effects of age, sex, or race on lemborexant pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, or safety. These results suggest that lemborexant at doses through 25 mg provides an overall pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety profile suitable for obtaining the target pharmacologic effect supporting treatment of insomnia while minimizing residual effects during wake time.

Project description:This study evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles of nemonoxacin in healthy Chinese volunteers following multiple-dose intravenous infusion once daily for 10 consecutive days. The study was composed of two stages. In the open-label stage, 500 mg or 750 mg of nemonoxacin (n = 12 each) was administered at an infusion rate of 5.56 mg/min. In the second stage, with a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled design, 500, 650, or 750 mg of nemonoxacin (n = 16 in each cohort; 12 subjects received the drug and the other 4 subjects received the placebo) was given at an infusion rate of 4.17 mg/min. The results showed that, in the first stage, the maximal nemonoxacin concentrations (mean ± SD) at steady state (Cmax_ss) were 9.60 ± 1.84 and 11.04 ± 2.18 μg/ml in the 500-mg and 750-mg cohorts, respectively; the areas under the concentration-time curve at steady state (AUC0-24_ss) were 44.03 ± 8.62 and 65.82 ± 10.78 μg · h/ml in the 500-mg and 750-mg cohorts, respectively. In the second stage, the nemonoxacin Cmax_ss values were 7.13 ± 1.47, 8.17 ± 1.76, and 9.96 ± 2.23 μg/ml in the 500-mg, 650-mg, and 750-mg cohorts, respectively; the AUC0-24_ss values were 40.46 ± 9.52, 54.17 ± 12.10, and 71.34 ± 17.79 μg · h/ml in the 500-mg, 650-mg, and 750-mg cohorts, respectively. No accumulation was found after the 10-day infusion with any regimen. The drug was well tolerated. A Monte Carlo simulation indicated that the cumulative fraction of response of any dosing regimen was nearly 100% against Streptococcus pneumoniae. The probability of target attainment of nemonoxacin therapy was >98% when the MIC of nemonoxacin against S. pneumoniae was ≤1 mg/liter. It is suggested that all of the studied intravenous nemonoxacin dosing regimens should have favorable clinical and microbiological efficacies in future clinical studies. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT01944774.).

Project description:Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a highly specific voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) blocker in clinical evaluation as a peripheral-acting analgesic for chronic pain. This study presents the first published results of the safety including cardiac liability of TTX at therapeutic-relevant concentrations in twenty-five healthy adults. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-, and positive- (moxifloxacin) controlled study evaluated single ascending doses of 15 µg, 30 µg, and 45 µg TTX over 3 periods with a 7-day washout between each period. Subcutaneous injections of TTX were readily absorbed, reaching maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) within 1.5 h. Both extent of exposure (AUC) and Cmax increased in proportion to dose. No QT prolongation was identified by concentration-QTc analysis and the upper bounds of the two-sided 90% confidence interval of predicted maximum baseline and placebo corrected QTcF (ΔΔQTcF) value did not exceed 10 ms for all tetrodotoxin doses, thereby meeting the criteria of a negative QT study. Safety assessments showed no clinically relevant changes with values similar between all groups and no subject withdrawing due to adverse events. Paresthesia, oral-paresthesia, headache, dizziness, nausea, and myalgia were the most common TEAEs (overall occurrence ≥5%) in the TTX treatment groups. TTX doses investigated in this study are safe, well-tolerated, and lack proarrhythmic proclivity.
