Evaluation of the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Gammaplex® 10% Versus Gammaplex® 5% in Subjects with Primary Immunodeficiency.

ABSTRACT: This phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized, two-period, crossover bioequivalence trial evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) Gammaplex 5% and Gammaplex 10% in 33 adults and 15 children with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs).Eligible adults received five Gammaplex 5% infusions followed by five Gammaplex 10% infusions, or vice versa, stratified by a 21- or 28-day dosing regimen. Pediatric subjects received five Gammaplex 10% infusions only.The primary objective, to demonstrate the bioequivalence of Gammaplex 10% and Gammaplex 5% at the 28-day dosing interval, was met based on the Gammaplex 10%/Gammaplex 5% ratio of area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC0-28) values. Throughout the study, total immunoglobulin G trough levels were well maintained, with total values generally ?600 mg/dL (minimum level for study inclusion). At the dosing schedules and infusion rates used in this study, safety and tolerability were comparable and acceptable in adult and pediatric PID subjects treated with Gammaplex 10% and 5%.In this study, the first direct comparison of 5% IVIG and 10% IVIG products in PID subjects, the pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated bioequivalence of Gammaplex 10% and Gammaplex 5% at the 28-day dosing interval. The Gammaplex 10% formulation was safe and well tolerated in pediatric and adult PID subjects. Based on the results from this bridging study in PID subjects, Gammaplex 10% could be expected to have a therapeutic effect similar to the licensed Gammaplex 5%, which has demonstrated efficacy and tolerability in patients with PID and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

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:Background and objectivesRotigotine is a dopamine receptor agonist with activity across the D1 through to D5 receptors as well as select serotonergic and adrenergic sites; continuous transdermal delivery of rotigotine with replacement of the patch once daily maintains stable plasma concentrations over 24 h. Rotigotine is indicated for the treatment of early and advanced-stage Parkinson's disease and moderate-to-severe idiopathic restless legs syndrome. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug may vary between subjects of different ethnic origin. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of single-dose treatment with rotigotine transdermal patch in Japanese and Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn this open-label, parallel-group study, healthy male and female subjects of Japanese or Caucasian ethnic origin were matched by sex, body mass index, and age. A single transdermal patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine (patch content 4.5 mg) was applied to the ventral/lateral abdomen for 24 h. The main outcome measures were the plasma concentrations of unconjugated and total rotigotine and its desalkyl metabolites and derived pharmacokinetic parameters (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable concentration [AUClast], maximum plasma concentration [Cmax], and body weight- and dose-normalized values).ResultsThe pharmacokinetic analysis included 48 subjects (24 Japanese, 24 Caucasian). The mean apparent dose of rotigotine was 2.0±0.5 mg for Japanese subjects and 2.08±0.58 mg for Caucasians. Plasma concentration-time profiles of unconjugated rotigotine and of the main metabolites were similar for both ethnic groups. Parameters of model-independent pharmacokinetics, Cmax, time to Cmax (tmax), and AUClast, for unconjugated rotigotine showed no statistically significant differences between Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Values of concentration-dependent pharmacokinetic parameters were higher in female subjects; this difference was minimized after correction for body weight. A statistically significant difference between ethnic groups was observed for total rotigotine concentrations (total rotigotine=unconjugated rotigotine+conjugated rotigotine), with slightly lower values in Caucasians after correction for body weight and apparent dose. No relevant differences were observed between males and females. Inter-individual variability was high. The terminal half-life for unconjugated rotigotine was 5.3 h in Japanese subjects and 5.7 h in Caucasians; corresponding values for total rotigotine were 8.6 h and 9.6 h. Less than 0.1% of the apparent dose was renally excreted as the parent compound. Renal elimination of total rotigotine covers 11.7% of absorbed dose in Japanese subjects and 10.8% of the absorbed dose in Caucasians, whereas the renal elimination via total despropyl rotigotine was 8.2 and 7.1%, respectively. The corresponding values for total desthienylethyl rotigotine were 3.5% in Japanese subjects and 4.2% Caucasians. Most adverse events were mild in intensity and typical for dopamine agonists or for transdermal therapeutics.ConclusionAdministration of a single patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine resulted in comparable pharmacokinetic profiles in Japanese and Caucasian subjects. The rotigotine transdermal patch was generally well-tolerated. Our findings suggest similar dose requirements for Japanese and Caucasian populations.

Project description:Sulbactam-durlobactam is being developed for the treatment of infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, including those caused by multidrug- and carbapenem-resistant isolates. This was a phase 1 study to evaluate the effects of various degrees of renal impairment, including subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD), on the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of durlobactam (also known as ETX2514) and sulbactam after single intravenous (i.v.) dose administration. For healthy subjects and those with mild or moderate renal impairment (RI), single 1,000-mg doses each of durlobactam and sulbactam via a 3-h i.v. infusion were administered, and for severe renal impairment, 500-mg doses were administered. For subjects with ESRD and HD, 500-mg i.v. doses each of durlobactam and sulbactam were administered post-HD and pre-HD, with a 1-week washout between doses. Among 34 subjects, decreasing renal function increased systemic exposure (peak plasma concentration [C max] and area under the concentration-time curve [AUC]) to durlobactam and sulbactam in a generally linear manner. In healthy subjects and in those with mild or moderate renal impairment, the majority of durlobactam and sulbactam was excreted in the urine, while approximately 40% or less was excreted in urine in subjects with severe renal impairment or ESRD. In subjects with ESRD, hemodialysis was effective at removing both durlobactam and sulbactam from plasma. Renal impairment had no effect of the safety/tolerability profile of durlobactam and sulbactam. In summary, RI and ESRD had a predictable effect on the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of durlobactam and sulbactam with no adverse effects on the safety/tolerability profile. Durlobactam and sulbactam are cleared to a similar extent by renal elimination and are impacted similarly by renal impairment. The results from this study have been used with population PK modeling and nonclinically derived PK/PD (pharmacodynamic) exposure targets to establish dosage recommendations for durlobactam and sulbactam in patients with various degrees of RI. The dosing regimen of durlobactam-sulbactam will require adjustment in patients with severe renal insufficiency and in those with ESRD.
