Safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamics of a novel immunomodulator, MIS416, in patients with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preclinical studies have demonstrated that MIS416, a bacterially derived immune modulator, targets myeloid cells following systemic delivery. MIS416 stimulated myeloid cells have the capacity to regulate innate inflammation, a potential therapeutic target for progressive multiple sclerosis.

Objectives

To determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended Phase 2 dose of MIS416.

Methods

An open-label, non-randomized, phase II, dose-escalation study, in patients with progressive multiple sclerosis: dose-escalation phase, with MIS416 administered once weekly for four weeks to determine maximum tolerated dose; and dose-confirmation phase, administered once weekly for up to 12 weeks.

Results

The safety profile indicates the majority of adverse events were mild or moderate, tolerable, self-limiting and consistent with the known bioactivity of MIS416 (acute flu-like symptoms). Maximum tolerated dose was not reached. A dose of 500 µg/week was recommended for the Phase 2 dose.

Conclusion

MIS416 is well tolerated at a dose of 500 µg/week. The adverse event profile is consistent with the mechanism of action of MIS416, indicating bioactivity within the signal transduction pathways and supported by induction of a known MIS416 pharmacodynamic marker. It is recommended that safety and efficacy of MIS416 is investigated further in a larger randomized controlled trial. http://clinicaltrials.gov reference NCT01191996.

Project description:BackgroundWhile disease progression can be readily monitored in early stage relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), it is more challenging for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). This advanced stage of disease has distinct pathophysiology due to compartmentalization of neuroinflammatory activity within the central nervous system, resulting in increased incidence and severity of cognitive dysfunction. The shift in the dominant disease pathways is underscored by the failure of relapsing therapies to benefit SPMS patients, highlighting the need for novel treatment strategies and clinical trial endpoints that are well-aligned with potential benefits. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is widely used but is weighted towards ambulatory ability, lacking sensitivity to other aspects of neurological impairment experienced in more severely disabled SPMS patients, so may not effectively capture their clinical status.To investigate the feasibility of an alternative clinical trial endpoint model for a phase 2B trial of an immune modulator for SPMS, the potential for treatment efficacy-based patient-centered outcomes was assessed within the context of a before and after, 12-week clinical trial of safety and tolerability.MethodsPatients treated with MIS416 for 12 weeks were evaluated for clinical status at baseline and end of dosing, using the established Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite, Short Form Health Survey, and Expanded Disability Status Scale. Responder status was determined for eight outcome measures based on minimally important change, defined using published studies. To evaluate the patients' immune response to MIS416, blood plasma samples collected at baseline and pre- and 24-h post doses 1-4 were analyzed using multiplex cytokine quantification assays.ResultsUsing a combination of patient-centered outcomes, MIS416 treatment was associated with improved clinical status for 10/11 patients: eight patients showed improvement on two to five outcome measures, five of which also showed improvement by EDSS. Multi-dimensional scaling analysis of MIS416-induced factors quantified in individual patients, revealed immune response patterns which had a strong concordance with the extent of the patients' clinical response.ConclusionsThe data support the feasibility of using patient-centered outcomes as additional clinical trial endpoints, for determining the efficacy of disease-modifying therapies, in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis patients.Trial registrationClinicalTrial.gov, NCT01191996.
