First-in-Human Trial of MIV-150 and Zinc Acetate Coformulated in a Carrageenan Gel: Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Acceptability, Adherence, and Pharmacodynamics.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of MIV-150 and zinc acetate in a carrageenan gel (PC-1005). Acceptability, adherence, and pharmacodynamics were also explored. DESIGN:A 3-day open-label safety run-in (n = 5) preceded a placebo-controlled, double-blind trial in healthy, HIV-negative, abstinent women randomized (4:1) to vaginally apply 4 mL of PC-1005 or placebo once daily for 14 days. METHODS:Assessments included physical examinations, safety labs, colposcopy, biopsies, cervicovaginal lavages (CVLs), and behavioral questionnaires. MIV-150 (plasma, CVL, tissue), zinc (plasma, CVL), and carrageenan (CVL) concentrations were determined with LC-MS/MS, ICP-MS, and ELISA, respectively. CVL antiviral activity was measured using cell-based assays. Safety, acceptability, and adherence were analyzed descriptively. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using noncompartmental techniques and actual sampling times. CVL antiviral EC50 values were calculated using a dose-response inhibition analysis. RESULTS:Participants (n = 20) ranged from 19-44 years old; 52% were black or African American. Among those completing the trial (13/17, PC-1005; 3/3, placebo), 11/17 reported liking the gel overall; 7 recommended reducing the volume. Adverse events, which were primarily mild and/or unrelated, were comparable between groups. Low systemic MIV-150 levels were observed, without accumulation. Plasma zinc levels were unchanged from baseline. Seven of seven CVLs collected 4-hour postdose demonstrated antiviral (HIV, human papillomavirus) activity. High baseline CVL anti-herpes-simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2) activity precluded assessment of postdose activity. CONCLUSIONS:PC-1005 used vaginally for 14 days was well tolerated. Low systemic levels of MIV-150 were observed. Plasma zinc levels were unchanged. Postdose CVLs had anti-HIV and anti-human papillomavirus activity. These data warrant further development of PC-1005 for HIV and sexually transmitted infection prevention.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic outcomes of a novel copper (Cu) intrauterine system (IUS) releasing ulipristal acetate (UPA) in healthy women.Study designIn this single-blinded, randomized proof-of-concept study, ovulatory women received one of three Cu-IUSs releasing low-dose UPA (5, 20 or 40 µg/d) for 12 weeks. The study included a baseline cycle, three 4-week treatment-cycles and 2 recovery cycles. Primary outcomes included effects of the IUS on bleeding profile, ovarian function, and the occurrence of progesterone receptor modulator associated endometrial changes (PAEC). Pharmacokinetics and safety profile were secondary outcomes. We compared outcomes in treatment-cycle 3 with baseline, using generalized linear mixed models with orthogonal contrasts.ResultsWe randomized 29 women (5 µg/d = 10, 20 µg/d = 10, 40 µg/d = 9). All had a successful IUS insertion; 27 completed the 12-week treatment period. Compared to baseline, the mean number of bleeding-only days at treatment-cycle 3 declined by 16.7% in the 5 µg/d group (3.6 vs 3.0, p = 0.66), 40.5% in the 20 µg/d group (4.2 vs 2.5, p = 0.14), and 77% in the 40 µg/d group (3.9 vs 0.9, p = 0.002). Most women reported reduction in the amount of bleeding: 4/8, 8/10, and 7/9 for the 5 µg/d, 20 µg/d, and 40 µg/d groups, respectively. During IUS use, ovulation occurred in most cycles [5 µg/d: 23/24 (96%), 20 µg/d: 26/30 (87%), 40 µg/d: 22/27 (81%)]. The frequency of PAEC at IUS removal was 1/10 (10%), 1/10 (10%) and 4/9 (44%) in the 5 µg/d, 20 µg/d, and 4 0 µg/d groups, respectively. No serious adverse events occurred.ConclusionsReduction in bleeding, low incidence of PAEC, and no serious adverse events are reassuring findings of the novel Cu-UPA-IUS. The 20 µg/d seems the lowest dose promoting a favorable bleeding profile and limiting PAEC.ImplicationsThe preliminary results of this short-term study of a novel copper intrauterine system (IUS) delivering ulipristal acetate showed reduction of bleeding, low incidence of progesterone receptor modulator associated endometrial changes, and absence of serious adverse events. By preventing copper-induced increase in bleeding, this IUS could provide a noncontraceptive benefit, especially for women with low hemoglobin.
