Pharmacokinetics, adverse effects and tolerability of a novel analogue of human pancreatic polypeptide, PP 1420.

ABSTRACT: AIMS:The objectives of this phase 1 study were to confirm the tolerability of single ascending subcutaneous doses of PP 1420 in healthy subjects, to assess its adverse effects and to investigate the drug's pharmacokinetics and dose proportionality. METHODS:This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study. There were three dosing periods. Each subject (n= 12) was randomized to receive one dose of placebo and two ascending doses of PP 1420, given as a subcutaneous injection. Blood samples were taken over 24 h to assess pharmacokinetics. Standard safety and laboratory data were collected. The primary endpoint was the tolerability of PP 1420. The secondary endpoint was exposure to PP 1420 as assessed by C(max) and AUC(0,?). RESULTS:PP 1420 was well tolerated by all subjects with no serious adverse effects. Following single subcutaneous doses of PP 1420 at 2, 4 and 8 mg to male subjects, C(max) was reached at a median t(max) of approximately 1 h post dose (range 0.32-2.00 h). Thereafter, plasma concentrations of PP 1420 declined with geometric mean apparent terminal elimination t(1/2) ranging from 2.42-2.61 h (range 1.64-3.95 h) across all dose levels. CONCLUSIONS:Subcutaneous PP 1420 was well tolerated in healthy human subjects at single doses between 2-8 mg, with no tolerability issues arising. Where observed, adverse events were not serious, and there was no evidence of a dose-relationship to frequency of adverse events. The results therefore support the conduct of clinical trials to investigate efficacy, tolerability and pharmacokinetics during repeated dosing.

Project description:A dry-powder inhaled formulation of treprostinil (LIQ861) produced using PRINT® technology offers a substantial advantage over current nebulized therapy. Treprostinil is a synthetic prostacyclin analogue that is currently approved for inhalation administration to patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension via nebulized Tyvaso® inhalation solution. LTI-101 was a phase 1, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, single-center study that evaluated the ascending single-dose pharmacokinetics of LIQ861 in healthy subjects. Six sequential, escalating doses (25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150?mcg) were studied to investigate treprostinil exposure from LIQ861 inhalation. Subjects (n?=?57) were randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive a single dose of either LIQ861 (n?=?43) or placebo (n?=?14); 56 subjects completed all protocol-defined assessments. Following single-dose administration, treprostinil exposure from LIQ861 increased proportionally across the dose range studied, and the pharmacokinetics profile of treprostinil administered as LIQ861 was similar to prior reports of inhaled treprostinil. All doses of LIQ861 were generally well-tolerated with no deaths, serious adverse events, or dose-limiting toxicities. The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse events related to study drug administration were coughing and throat irritation, which are common to dry-powder formulations. Treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events were reported more frequently at higher dose levels; however, all were assessed as mild in severity. We conclude that the pharmacokinetics profile of treprostinil using a dry-powder inhaled formulation increased in proportion to dose as anticipated and was similar to earlier reports of inhaled, nebulized treprostinil (Tyvaso®). Based on these results, a phase 3 study (INSPIRE; Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier NCT03399604) evaluating the long-term safety and tolerability of LIQ861 in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension was initiated.

Project description:PurposeInhaled drug delivery is an attractive route by which to deliver drugs to lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). GSK3008348 is a potent and selective small molecule being developed as the first inhaled inhibitor of the αvβ6 integrin for the treatment of IPF. The phase 1 first-time-in-human clinical trial (NCT02612051) presented here was designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of single doses of GSK3008348 in healthy participants.MethodsSingle ascending doses of GSK3008348 were administered to three cohorts of eight healthy participants in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period crossover design. Safety, tolerability and PK were assessed after single doses of 1-3000 mcg given by nebulisation.ResultsA total of 29 participants were enrolled and received at least one dose of study treatment. There were no serious adverse events (AE) reported in any participant. No trends or clinically important differences were noted in the incidence or intensity of AEs or other safety assessments. Maximum plasma concentrations of GSK3008348 were generally attained within approximately 30 min after start of nebulisation, with geometric mean terminal elimination half-lives ranging from 7.95 to 10.2 h. Exposures, as measured by area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), were dose proportional across all doses where estimates were possible (100-3000 mcg). Dose normalised geometric mean Cmax increased with dose up to 3000 mcg. This supra proportionality was relatively modest, with a less than 3-fold increase over the range from 30 to 3000 mcg. The reason(s) for this observation are currently not known but may be due to slower absorption at the lowest doses. All exposures were within the exposure margins set by the non-clinical toxicity studies and so this is not expected to have any impact on safety.ConclusionsIn summary, GSK3008348 was well tolerated at single doses up to 3000 mcg in healthy participants, and its PK profile was dose proportional at potentially clinically relevant doses (300-3000 mcg). These findings support further development of GSK3008348 as a novel inhaled treatment option for IPF.
