Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of novel glucokinase activator HMS5552: results from a first-in-human single ascending dose study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

HMS5552, a novel fourth-generation glucokinase (GK) activator, has demonstrated promising effects on glycemic control in preclinical models of type 2 diabetes. This single ascending dose study was conducted to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of HMS5552 during its first-in-human exposure.

Methods

Sixty healthy subjects were enrolled. In each of six dose-cohorts (5, 10, 15, 25, 35, and 50 mg), ten subjects were randomized with eight subjects receiving the same cohort-dose of HMS5552 and two receiving placebo. Plasma HMS5552 exposure, glucose, and insulin were measured repeatedly during fasting and after a standardized meal. Assessment included safety, PK, and PD endpoints.

Results

HMS5552 showed dose-proportional increases in area under the curve 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax). Slopes estimated by linear regression for AUC0-t and Cmax were ~1.0 (0.932 and 0.933, respectively). Geometric mean elimination half-life ranged from 4.48 to 7.51 hours and apparent clearance ranged from 11.5 to 13.1 L/h across all doses. No significant sex effect was observed in PK parameters. HMS5552 also demonstrated dose-related PD responses in terms of maximum glucose change from baseline (%) and mean glucose area under effect curve 0-4 hours change from baseline (%) (P<0.001). Fifteen adverse events were reported by nine subjects (ten with HMS5552 and five with the placebo). All adverse events were mild in intensity and resolved without any treatment.

Conclusion

This first-in-human single ascending dose study provided predicted PK of HMS5552 with dose-proportional increases in AUC0-t and Cmax, as well as dose-related glucose-lowering effects over the range of 5-50 mg in healthy subjects. HMS5552 at doses up to 50 mg in healthy subjects was safe and well-tolerated.

Project description:IntroductionThis randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single ascending doses of intravenously administered NX210-a linear peptide derived from subcommissural organ-spondin-and explored the effects on blood/urine biomarkers and cerebral activity.MethodsParticipants in five cohorts (n = 8 each) were randomized to receive a single intravenous dose of NX210 (n = 6 each) (0.4, 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) or placebo (n = 2 each); in total, 10 and 29 participants received placebo and NX210, respectively. Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics within 180 min post dosing. Plasma and urine were collected from participants (cohorts: 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg) for biomarker analysis and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings within 48 h post dosing. Safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetic data were assessed before ascending to the next dose.ResultsThe study included 39 participants. All dosages were safe and well tolerated. All treatment-emergent adverse events (n = 17) were of mild severity and resolved spontaneously (except one with unknown outcome). Twelve treatment-emergent adverse events (70.6%) were deemed drug related; seven of those (58.3%) concerned nervous system disorders (dizziness, headache, and somnolence). The pharmacokinetic analysis indicated a short half-life in plasma (6-20 min), high apparent volume of distribution (1870-4120 L), and rapid clearance (7440-16,400 L/h). In plasma, tryptophan and homocysteine showed dose-related increase and decrease, respectively. No drug dose effect was found for the glutamate or glutamine plasma biomarkers. Nevertheless, decreased blood glutamate and increased glutamine were observed in participants treated with NX210 versus placebo. EEG showed a statistically significant decrease in beta and gamma bands and a dose-dependent increasing trend in alpha bands. Pharmacodynamics effects were sustained for several hours (plasma) or 48 h (urine and EEG).ConclusionNX210 is safe and well tolerated and may exert beneficial effects on the central nervous system, particularly in terms of cognitive processing.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies have demonstrated that pharmacological mobilization and recruitment of endogenous bone marrow stem cells and immunoregulatory cells by a combination of plerixafor and low-dose tacrolimus (MRG-001) improves wound healing, promotes tissue regeneration and prevents allograft rejection. This first‐in‐human phase I dose‐escalation study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MRG-001, a novel fixed-dose combination drug. METHODS: In this Phase 1, double‐blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts are randomized to receive MRG-001 containing up to 0.02 mL/kg (plerixafor 24 mg/mL and tacrolimus 0.5 mg/mL) or saline placebo, subcutaneously every other day (SC, QAD) for 5 days (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04646603)The primary outcome is safety and tolerability. Safety and functional assessments are performed throughout the study. Blood samples are collected to evaluate systemic exposure. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis and RNA expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are used to evaluate the pharmacodynamics. RESULTS: Fourteen subjects received MRG-001 and 7 received a placebo. MRG-001 is safe and well-tolerated over the selected dose range. No deaths or severe adverse events are reported. There are no clinically significant laboratory changes after MRG-001 administration, apart from the predicted generalized leukocytosis. The intermediate dose group (0.01 mL/kg) showed the most significant white blood cell mobilization over time and increased by 2-4 fold from baseline and returned to baseline levels prior to the next injection. Circulating immune cells including FOXP3+ regulatory T cells and hematopoietic stem cells (CD45IntCD34+) increased significantly after MRG-001 injection. PBMC RNA sequencing and gene set enrichment analysis revealeds 31 down-regulated pathways in the intermediate dose MRG-001 group compared to no changes in the placebo group. CONCLUSION: MRG-001 is safe and well-tolerated across the full dose ranges tested. MRG-001 may be a clinically useful therapy for immunoregulation and tissue regeneration. A Phase II trial to treat severely and critically ill COVID-19 patients with MRG-001 has been initiated (NCT04646603) and a second phase II trial will explore the potential of MRG-001 to accelerate wound healing (NCT05844527),

Project description:BackgroundSHR-1707 is a novel humanized anti-Aβ IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds to Aβ fibrils and monomers to block the formation of Aβ plaques or to promote the microglial phagocytosis of Aβ. Preclinical studies showed that SHR-1707 reduced brain Aβ deposition in 5xFAD transgenic mice. Herein, we conducted two phase 1 studies to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single intravenous dose of SHR-1707 in healthy adult subjects.MethodsTwo randomized, double-blind, single-ascending-dose, phase 1 studies were conducted in China (Study CHN) and Australia (Study AUS). Study CHN consisted of 2 parts. In Part 1, eligible healthy young adults (18-45 years) were sequentially randomized 8:2 to receive SHR-1707 (five cohorts: 2, 6, 20, 40, and 60 mg/kg) or placebo in each cohort; in Part 2, elderly subjects (55-80 years) were randomized 8:4 to receive SHR-1707 (20 mg/kg) or placebo. A similar design was used in Study AUS, but with only healthy young adults enrolled across three dosing cohorts (2, 20, and 60 mg/kg).ResultsSixty-two (part 1/2, n = 50/12; age range, 18-42/55-63 years) and 30 subjects (age range, 18-42 years) received SHR-1707 or placebo in Study CHN and Study AUS, respectively. In Study CHN, all treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were mild, with the most common being transient laboratory abnormalities. In Study AUS, TRAEs were mostly mild (1 moderate event each with SHR-1707/placebo); the most common TRAEs with SHR-1707 were dysgeusia and fatigue (8.3% each). In both studies, the exposure of SHR-1707 increased in a slightly greater than dose-proportional manner over the dose range of 2-60 mg/kg in young adults; there was a dose-dependent increase in plasma Aβ42 concentration following SHR-1707 administration compared with the placebo group. The safety and PK and PD profiles of SHR-1707 in the elderly subjects were consistent with the younger counterpart at the same dose level. No ethnic difference in safety, PK and PD of SHR-1707 was observed.ConclusionsA single intravenous dose of SHR-1707 at 2-60 mg/kg was safe and well tolerated in healthy young adult and elderly subjects. The PK and PD profiles are supportive for further clinical development.Trial registrationNCT04973189 (retrospectively registered on Jul.21, 2021) and NCT04745104 (registered on Feb.6, 2021) on clinicaltrials.gov.
