Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Studies of Elacestrant, A Novel Oral Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader, in Healthy Post-Menopausal Women.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Advanced estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is currently treated with endocrine therapy. Elacestrant is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective estrogen receptor degrader with complex dose-related ER agonist/antagonist activity that is being developed as a treatment option for ER+ breast cancer. METHODS:Two first-in-human phase 1 studies of elacestrant in healthy postmenopausal women (Study 001/Study 004) were conducted to determine its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile as well as its safety and maximum tolerated dose. RESULTS:In total, 140 postmenopausal subjects received at least one dose of study drug (114 received elacestrant and 26 received placebo). Single-ascending dose and multiple-ascending dose assessments showed that doses up to 1000 mg daily were safe and well tolerated, and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached. Oral administration of elacestrant had an absolute bioavailability of 10% and a mean half-life ranging from 27 to 47 h, reaching steady state after 5-6 days. Mean occupancy of the ER in the uterus after seven daily doses was 83% for 200 mg and 92% for 500 mg daily. The median ratio of elacestrant concentrations in the cerebral spinal fluid vs. plasma was 0.126% (500 mg dose) and 0.205% (200 mg dose). Most adverse events were related to the upper gastrointestinal tract. CONCLUSIONS:These data demonstrate that elacestrant has good bioavailability when administered orally with a half-life that supports once-daily administration. Engagement of the ER and some ability to cross the blood-brain barrier was demonstrated in addition to an acceptable safety profile.

Project description:Background Muscle ageing contributes to both loss of functional autonomy and increased morbidity. Muscle atrophy accelerates after 50 years of age, but the mechanisms involved are complex and likely result from the alteration of a variety of interrelated functions. In order to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle chronological ageing in human, we have undertaken a top-down differential proteomic approach to identify novel biomarkers after the fifth decade of age. Results Muscle samples were compared between adult (56 years) and old (78 years) post-menopausal women. In addition to total muscle extracts, low-ionic strength extracts were investigated to remove high abundance myofibrillar proteins and improve the detection of low abundance proteins. Two-dimensional gel electrophoreses with overlapping IPGs were used to improve the separation of muscle proteins. Overall, 1919 protein spots were matched between all individuals, 95 were differentially expressed and identified by mass spectrometry, and they corresponded to 67 different proteins. Our results suggested important modifications in cytosolic, mitochondrial and lipid energy metabolism, which may relate to dysfunctions in old muscle force generation. A fraction of the differentially expressed proteins were linked to the sarcomere and cytoskeleton (myosin light-chains, troponin T, ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein-2, vinculin, four and a half LIM domain protein-3), which may account for alterations in contractile properties. In line with muscle contraction, we also identified proteins related to calcium signal transduction (calsequestrin-1, sarcalumenin, myozenin-1, annexins). Muscle ageing was further characterized by the differential regulation of several proteins implicated in cytoprotection (catalase, peroxiredoxins), ion homeostasis (carbonic anhydrases, selenium-binding protein 1) and detoxification (aldo-keto reductases, aldehyde dehydrogenases). Notably, many of the differentially expressed proteins were central for proteostasis, including heat shock proteins and proteins involved in proteolysis (valosin-containing protein, proteasome subunit beta type-4, mitochondrial elongation factor-Tu). Conclusions This study describes the most extensive proteomic analysis of muscle ageing in humans, and identified 34 new potential biomarkers. None of them were previously recognized as differentially expressed in old muscles, and each may represent a novel starting point to elucidate the mechanisms of muscle chronological ageing in humans.
