Midostaurin does not prolong cardiac repolarization defined in a thorough electrocardiogram trial in healthy volunteers.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Midostaurin (PKC412) is a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 receptor (FLT3), c-KIT, and other receptors. Midostaurin is active in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and systemic mastocytosis. Although no substantive risk for cardiac abnormalities has been observed with midostaurin in clinical studies thus far, some TKIs have been shown to affect cardiac repolarization. Here we evaluated midostaurin's effect on cardiac repolarization.

Methods

This phase I study evaluated the effect of midostaurin (75 mg twice daily for 2 days; 75 mg once on day 3) on the heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval in a parallel design with active (moxifloxacin) and placebo control arms in healthy volunteers.

Results

The maximum mean QTc change from baseline corrected using Fridericia's correction (QTcF) for midostaurin compared with placebo was 0.7 ms at 24 h post dose on day 3. The highest upper bound of the 1-sided 95% CI was 4.7 ms, which excluded 10 ms, demonstrating a lack of QTcF prolongation effect. Assay sensitivity was demonstrated by modeling the moxifloxacin plasma concentration versus QTcF change from baseline, which showed a clear positive increase in QTcF with increasing moxifloxacin plasma concentrations, as expected based on previous studies. In the 4-day evaluation period, a minority of participants (34.6%) experienced an adverse event; 97.0% were grade 1. No grade 3 or 4 adverse events were reported.

Conclusion

Midostaurin demonstrated a good safety profile in healthy volunteers, with no prolonged cardiac repolarization or other changes on the electrocardiogram.

Project description:BackgroundFabry disease is a rare inherited glycosphingolipid storage disorder caused by deleterious mutations in the GLA gene coding for the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A. The glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor lucerastat is an iminosugar with potential to provide oral substrate reduction therapy in Fabry disease, regardless of the patient´s underlying mutation. Since lucerastat exhibits systemic exposure and many patients with Fabry disease suffer from rhythm and conduction abnormalities its effects on cardiac repolarization were evaluated in a thorough QT study.MethodsIn Part A of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 study, single oral doses of 2000 and 4000 mg lucerastat were investigated to determine the supratherapeutic dose for Part B. The latter was a four-way crossover study to demonstrate that lucerastat at single oral therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses had no effect on the QTc interval > 10 ms using concentration-QTc modeling as primary analysis. The primary ECG endpoint was placebo-corrected change-from-baseline (ΔΔ) in Fridericia-corrected QTc (ΔΔQTcF). Open-label moxifloxacin served as positive control.ResultsThe effect of lucerastat on ΔΔQTcF was predicted as 0.39 ms (90% confidence interval [CI] - 0.13 to 0.90) and 1.69 ms (90% CI 0.33-3.05) at lucerastat peak plasma concentration after dosing with 1000 mg (5.2 µg/mL) and 4000 mg (24.3 µg/mL), respectively. A QTcF effect > 10 ms was excluded up to lucerastat plasma concentrations of approximately 34.0 µg/mL. Lucerastat did not exert an effect on other ECG parameters. Across doses, absorption of lucerastat was rapid, its elimination half-life ranged from 8.0 to 10.0 h, and the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lucerastat were dose-proportional. Moxifloxacin PK were in line with published data and assay sensitivity was demonstrated by the moxifloxacin QTc response. Lucerastat was safe and well tolerated.ConclusionsLucerastat up to a dose of 4000 mg has no clinically relevant liability to prolong the QT interval or any clinically relevant effect on other ECG parameters. This will be an important factor in the overall benefit-risk assessment of lucerastat in the potential treatment of Fabry disease.
