A Phase 1 first-in-human study of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the ROBO2 fusion protein PF-06730512 in healthy participants.

ABSTRACT: Proteinuria associated with podocyte effacement is a hallmark of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Preclinical studies implicated ROBO2/SLIT2 signaling in the regulation of podocyte adhesion, and inhibition of this pathway is a novel target to slow FSGS disease progression. This first-in-human dose-escalation study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of PF-06730512, an Fc fusion protein that targets the ROBO2/SLIT2 pathway, in healthy adults. In this Phase 1, double-blind, sponsor-open study, single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts were randomized to receive up to 1000 mg or placebo intravenously (IV); multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts were randomized to receive up to 400 mg subcutaneous (SC) doses, 1000 mg IV dose, or matching placebo. Safety evaluations were performed up to 71 (SAD) and 113 (MAD) days after dosing; blood samples were collected to measure serum PF-06730512 concentrations and antidrug antibodies (ADA) to PF-06730512. Seventy-nine participants (SAD, 47; MAD, 32) were enrolled. There were 108 mild (SAD, 46; MAD, 62) and 21 moderate (SAD, 13; MAD, 8) treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); no deaths, treatment-related serious AEs, severe TEAEs, or infusion reactions were reported. PF-06730512 exposure generally increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner; mean t_1/2 ranged from 12-15 days across 50-1000 mg doses. Immunogenicity incidence was low (SAD, 0 ADA+; MAD, 2 ADA+). In conclusion, single IV doses of PF-06730512 up to 1000 mg and multiple IV and SC dosing up to 1000 and 400 mg, respectively, were safe and well tolerated in healthy participants. Further trials in patients with FSGS are warranted. Clinical trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03146065.

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:PurposeBiological therapies targeting eosinophils have been shown to be effective in treating patients with severe eosinophilic asthma. Benralizumab (Fasenra®, AstraZeneca) is a humanized monoclonal antibody binding to the alpha subunit of the interleukin-5 receptor, which rapidly depletes eosinophils via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. The aim of this Phase 1 study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of benralizumab in healthy Chinese individuals.Materials and methodsIn this randomized, single-blind study (NCT03928262), healthy Chinese adult participants aged 18 to 45 years, weighing 50 to 100 kg, were randomized 1:1:1 to receive a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of benralizumab 10 mg, 30 mg, or 100 mg in the upper arms on Day 1. Safety was monitored throughout the study (up to Day 85), and blood samples were taken to determine serum benralizumab concentrations and for detection of anti-drug antibody. A non-compartmental analysis was conducted to estimate the pharmacokinetic parameters.ResultsThirty-six healthy participants were enrolled, 12 in each dose group (mean [SD] age 26 [6] years). Following a single SC injection of benralizumab, 13 adverse events were reported by 10 participants (28%), with one mild injection-site reaction assessed as related. The mean serum benralizumab concentrations increased in a dose proportional manner, followed by exponential decreases. The mean terminal half-lives were 15.1 days for the 10 mg dose, 14.4 days for the 30 mg dose, and 15.4 days for the 100 mg dose. All doses resulted in near-complete depletion of eosinophils on Day 2, which was maintained throughout the study to Day 85.ConclusionA single SC injection of benralizumab was well tolerated by healthy Chinese participants, with no new or unexpected safety findings. The pharmacokinetics of benralizumab in Chinese participants was dose-proportional and consistent with those of non-Chinese participants observed in previous studies.Clinical trial registrationNCT03928262 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03928262).

Project description:PurposeInhaled drug delivery is an attractive route by which to deliver drugs to lungs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). GSK3008348 is a potent and selective small molecule being developed as the first inhaled inhibitor of the αvβ6 integrin for the treatment of IPF. The phase 1 first-time-in-human clinical trial (NCT02612051) presented here was designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of single doses of GSK3008348 in healthy participants.MethodsSingle ascending doses of GSK3008348 were administered to three cohorts of eight healthy participants in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period crossover design. Safety, tolerability and PK were assessed after single doses of 1-3000 mcg given by nebulisation.ResultsA total of 29 participants were enrolled and received at least one dose of study treatment. There were no serious adverse events (AE) reported in any participant. No trends or clinically important differences were noted in the incidence or intensity of AEs or other safety assessments. Maximum plasma concentrations of GSK3008348 were generally attained within approximately 30 min after start of nebulisation, with geometric mean terminal elimination half-lives ranging from 7.95 to 10.2 h. Exposures, as measured by area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), were dose proportional across all doses where estimates were possible (100-3000 mcg). Dose normalised geometric mean Cmax increased with dose up to 3000 mcg. This supra proportionality was relatively modest, with a less than 3-fold increase over the range from 30 to 3000 mcg. The reason(s) for this observation are currently not known but may be due to slower absorption at the lowest doses. All exposures were within the exposure margins set by the non-clinical toxicity studies and so this is not expected to have any impact on safety.ConclusionsIn summary, GSK3008348 was well tolerated at single doses up to 3000 mcg in healthy participants, and its PK profile was dose proportional at potentially clinically relevant doses (300-3000 mcg). These findings support further development of GSK3008348 as a novel inhaled treatment option for IPF.
