A Phase I, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Dose and Multiple-Rising-Dose Study of the BTK Inhibitor TAK-020 in Healthy Subjects.

ABSTRACT: Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a target for treatment of hematologic malignancies and autoimmune diseases. TAK-020 is a highly selective covalent BTK inhibitor that inhibits both B cell receptor and fragment crystallizable receptor signaling. We assessed the safety/tolerability and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PDs) of TAK-020 in healthy subjects. Each cohort of the single-rising dose (n = 72; 9 cohorts) and the multiple-rising dose (n = 48; 6 cohorts) portions of the study comprised six TAK-020-treated and two placebo-treated, subjects aged 18-55 years (inclusive). The PD effects were assessed by measuring BTK occupancy and the inhibition of fragment crystallizable epsilon receptor 1 (FcεRI)-mediated activation of basophils. Overall, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were similar to placebo; there were no serious TEAEs or no TEAEs leading to discontinuation. TAK-020 was rapidly absorbed (median time to maximum plasma concentration (T_max ) 45-60 minutes) with a half-life of ~ 3-9 hours at doses ≥ 2.5 mg. TAK-020 exposure was generally dose proportional for single doses ≤ 70 mg and after multiple doses of ≤ 60 mg once daily. Target occupancy was dose dependent, with doses ≥ 2.5 mg yielding maximum and sustained occupancy > 70% for > 96 hours. Single doses ≥ 4.4 mg reduced FcεRI-mediated activation of basophils by > 80% and comparable inhibition was observed with daily dosing ≥3.75 mg for 9 days. Inhibition persisted for 24-72 hours postdose and the duration generally increased with dose. TAK-020 was generally well-tolerated in healthy subjects after single and multiple doses and demonstrated target engagement and pathway modulation. The PD effects outlasted drug exposures, as expected for covalent inhibition of BTK.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have suggested that melatonin may produce antinociception through peripheral and central mechanisms. Based on the preliminary encouraging results of studies of the effects of melatonin on pain modulation, the important question has been raised of whether there is a dose relationship in humans of melatonin on pain modulation.ObjectiveThe objective was to evaluate the analgesic dose response of the effects of melatonin on pressure and heat pain threshold and tolerance and the sedative effects.MethodsSixty-one healthy subjects aged 19 to 47 y were randomized into one of four groups: placebo, 0.05 mg/kg sublingual melatonin, 0.15 mg/kg sublingual melatonin or 0.25 mg/kg sublingual melatonin. We determine the pressure pain threshold (PPT) and the pressure pain tolerance (PPTo). Quantitative sensory testing (QST) was used to measure the heat pain threshold (HPT) and the heat pain tolerance (HPTo). Sedation was assessed with a visual analogue scale and bispectral analysis.ResultsSerum plasma melatonin levels were directly proportional to the melatonin doses given to each subject. We observed a significant effect associated with dose group. Post hoc analysis indicated significant differences between the placebo vs. the intermediate (0.15 mg/kg) and the highest (0.25 mg/kg) melatonin doses for all pain threshold and sedation level tests. A linear regression model indicated a significant association between the serum melatonin concentrations and changes in pain threshold and pain tolerance (R(2) ?=?0.492 for HPT, R(2) ?=?0.538 for PPT, R(2) ?=?0.558 for HPTo and R(2) ?=?0.584 for PPTo).ConclusionsThe present data indicate that sublingual melatonin exerts well-defined dose-dependent antinociceptive activity. There is a correlation between the plasma melatonin drug concentration and acute changes in the pain threshold. These results provide additional support for the investigation of melatonin as an analgesic agent. Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (ReBec): (U1111-1123-5109).

Project description:BackgroundDasiglucagon is a novel glucagon analog that is stable in aqueous formulation and approved for use in severe hypoglycemia. Concentration QTc analyses are critical for assessing risk of drug-induced QTc prolongation and potential for fatal cardiac arrhythmias such as torsades de pointes.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine whether dasiglucagon treatment resulted in any clinically relevant effect on cardiac repolarization in healthy volunteers.MethodsThis double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase I trial was conducted at a single center in Germany between November 2018 and June 2019. Sixty healthy volunteers aged 18 to 45 years were randomized within dose cohorts to receive intravenous dasiglucagon, intravenous placebo, or subcutaneous dasiglucagon. In the intravenous administration cohorts, doses ranged from 0.03 mg to 1.5 mg. The subcutaneous administration cohort received the approved 0.6 mg dose. In the intravenous administration cohorts, serial electrocardiograms were extracted from continuous Holter monitors at prespecified time points beginning the day before dosing and through 24 hours postdose. Heart rate, PR interval, and QRS duration were evaluated. Concentration-QT analyses corrected by Fridericia's formula (QTcF) were performed using both a linear mixed-effects and a maximum estimated effect (Emax) model.ResultsAt the doses studied, dasiglucagon did not have any clinically relevant effect on heart rate, PR interval, or QRS duration. A minor prolongation of the QTcF interval was observed without any clear dose or concentration dependency. Both the linear and Emax models predicted mean and 90% CIs of placebo-corrected change in QTcF remained below 10 ms (the threshold of regulatory concern), although the linear model did not fit the data well at low dasiglucagon plasma concentrations. In the Emax model, the Emax of dasiglucagon was 3.6 ms (90% CI, 1.23-5.95 ms), and the amount to produce half the effect of Emax) was 426.0 pmol/L (90% CI, -48.8 to 900.71 pmol/L). The treatment effect-specific intercept was -0.44 ms (90% CI, -2.37 to 1.49 ms). The most frequently observed treatment-emergent adverse events reported in the trial were gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea and vomiting.ConclusionsDasiglucagon does not cause clinically relevant QTc prolongation in concentrations up to ≈30,000 pmol/L, a level 5-fold higher than the highest observed plasma concentrations in clinical trials investigating use of the approved 0.6 mg SC dose.
