Polyvalent Human Immune Globulin: A Prospective, Open-Label Study Assessing Anti-Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) Antibody Levels, Pharmacokinetics, and Safety in HAV-Seronegative Healthy Subjects.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Analytical data suggesting that immunoglobulin given intramuscularly (IGIM) may have reduced protection against hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection led to an update in the recommended IGIM dose (0.2 ml/kg). METHODS:This prospective, open-label, single-arm clinical study evaluated whether a single 0.2 ml/kg dose of IGIM provided protective levels of anti-HAV antibodies (??10 mIU/ml for up to 60 days) in HAV-seronegative healthy adults. RESULTS:Of the 28 subjects enrolled and dosed, 26 (93%) completed the study. Mean uncorrected anti-HAV antibody titers peaked at 109 mIU/ml on day 5 and stayed above 10 mIU/ml through day 60 (N?=?26). The mean uncorrected anti-HAV antibody titers had a median Tmax of 95.33 h, a mean Cmax of 118 mIU/ml, and a mean observed Thalf of 63.3 days; baseline-corrected titers had a median Tmax of 95.33 h, a mean Cmax of 114 mIU/ml, and a mean observed Thalf of 47.1 days (N?=?27). All subjects (28/28) experienced at least 1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), with a total of 83 TEAEs reported; none was serious, and 96% (80/83) resolved without sequelae. Most (63%) events judged definitely and possibly related to study treatment involved localized pain due to intramuscular injections. There were no serious adverse events and no deaths or discontinuations due to TEAEs. CONCLUSIONS:A single 0.2 ml/kg dose of IGIM provided protective anti-HAV levels for at least 60 days, with acceptable safety and tolerability profiles in healthy subjects. Uncorrected and baseline-corrected pharmacokinetic findings were similar and consistent with the corresponding sampling points in previous research.

Project description:BackgroundZibotentan (ZD4054) is a specific endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist being investigated for the treatment of prostate cancer. As zibotentan is eliminated by renal and metabolic routes, clearance may be reduced in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, leading to greater drug exposure.MethodsOpen-label studies investigated the PK and tolerability of zibotentan in subjects with hepatic or renal impairment, compared with those with normal organ function. In the hepatic and renal studies, respectively, subjects were divided into categories using Child-Pugh classification or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance (mild, moderate, or severe impairment and normal function). Each subject received a single oral dose of zibotentan 10 mg and PK sampling was undertaken. Within the hepatic study, AUC and Cmax were expressed as the ratio of geometric means and 90% CI for each impairment group compared with the normal function group. The possibility that hepatic impairment had a clinically relevant effect on exposure was considered if the upper 90% CI for the ratio exceeded 2. In the renal study, AUC, Cmax and t1/2 were analyzed using linear regression fitting effects for creatinine clearance and age.ResultsIn the hepatic and renal studies respectively, 32 subjects (eight per group) and 48 subjects received treatment (n = 18 normal, n = 12 mild, n = 9 moderate, n = 9 severe). Zibotentan Cmax was not significantly affected by hepatic or renal impairment. Compared with the normal function group, zibotentan AUC was 40% (1.40; 90% CI 0.91-2.17), 45% (1.45; 90% CI 0.94-2.24) and 190% (2.90; 90% CI 1.88-4.49) higher in subjects with mild, moderate and severe hepatic impairment, respectively, and 66% (1.66; 90% CI 1.38-1.99), 89% (1.89; 90% CI 1.50-2.39) and 117% (2.17; 90% CI 1.64-2.86) higher in subjects with mild, moderate and severe renal impairment, respectively. In both studies mean t1/2 increased and zibotentan clearance decreased with the degree of impairment. Headache was the most common AE in all groups.ConclusionsZibotentan absorption was unchanged, however, exposure was higher in subjects with hepatic or renal impairment due to slower clearance. This increased exposure did not result in differences in the range or severity of AEs observed.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00672581 and AstraZeneca study number D4320C00016 (renal trial; conducted in Germany).

Project description:IntroductionThis study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of opicapone (OPC) in healthy Chinese and Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn this open-label, single-center, phase 1 study, eligible Chinese subjects received one of three OPC doses (25, 50, or 100 mg), and Caucasian subjects received either 25 or 50 mg of OPC. All subjects were administered a single dose of OPC, whereas subjects in the 50-mg OPC group continued to receive once-daily doses of 50 mg OPC for 10 days. The primary endpoint was to evaluate and compare the plasma concentrations and PK parameters of OPC and its main metabolite, and erythrocyte-soluble catechol-O-methyltransferase (S-COMT) activity in Chinese subjects with that of Caucasian subjects. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate the safety of OPC in Chinese subjects. The estimated results for geometric mean ratios (GMRs) were evaluated with the standard bioequivalence (BE) limits between 80% and 125% to evaluate the ethnic differences. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4.ResultsIn total, 70 subjects (45 Chinese, 25 Caucasian) were enrolled; the majority of them were male (85.7%). The plasma exposure of both OPC and BIA 9-1103 increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner in both populations. Maximum S-COMT inhibition ranged from 79% to 95% after a single dose and was about 94% after a 10-day once-daily regimen in both populations. The point estimates of GMRs (Chinese/Caucasian) and 90% CI, except Cmax in 25-mg and 50-mg OPC groups, for PK and PD parameters were within 80% to 125%. Furthermore, no new risks or safety concerns associated with OPC were identified, indicating a tolerable safety profile in healthy Chinese subjects.ConclusionEthnicity had no significant impact on PK and PD parameters after single or multiple doses of OPC, and OPC was safe and tolerable in healthy Chinese subjects.Trial registrationChiCTR number, CTR20192230.

Project description:Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection often causes acute hepatitis, which results in a case fatality rate of 0.2% and fulminant hepatitis in 0.5% of cases. However, no specific potent anti-HAV drug is available on the market to date. In the present study, we focused on inhibition of HAV internal ribosomal entry site (IRES)-mediated translation and investigated novel therapeutic drugs through drug repurposing by screening for inhibitors of HAV IRES-mediated translation and cell viability using a reporter assay and cell viability assay, respectively. The initial screening of 1,158 drugs resulted in 77 candidate drugs. Among them, nicotinamide significantly inhibited HAV HA11-1299 genotype IIIA replication in Huh7 cells. This promising drug also inhibited HAV HM175 genotype IB subgenomic replicon and HAV HA11-1299 genotype IIIA replication in a dose-dependent manner. In the present study, we found that nicotinamide inhibited the activation of activator protein 1 (AP-1) and that knockdown of c-Jun, which is one of the components of AP-1, inhibited HAV HM175 genotype IB IRES-mediated translation and HAV HA11-1299 genotype IIIA and HAV HM175 genotype IB replication. Taken together, the results showed that nicotinamide inhibited c-Jun, resulting in the suppression of HAV IRES-mediated translation and HAV replication, and therefore, it could be useful for the treatment of HAV infection. IMPORTANCE Drug screening methods targeting HAV IRES-mediated translation with reporter assays are attractive and useful for drug repurposing. Nicotinamide (vitamin B3, niacin) has been shown to effectively inhibit HAV replication. Transcription complex activator protein 1 (AP-1) plays an important role in the transcriptional regulation of cellular immunity or viral replication. The results of this study provide evidence that AP-1 is involved in HAV replication and plays a role in the HAV life cycle. In addition, nicotinamide was shown to suppress HAV replication partly by inhibiting AP-1 activity and HAV IRES-mediated translation. Nicotinamide may be useful for the control of acute HAV infection by inhibiting cellular AP-1 activity during HAV infection processes.
