ONO-7684 a novel oral FXIa inhibitor: Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in a first-in-human study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The objectives of this study were to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and multiple oral doses of ONO-7684, a novel activated factor XI (FXIa) inhibitor, in healthy subjects.

Methods

This was a first-in-human (FIH), randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single and multiple dose study in healthy subjects under fed and fasted conditions. This study consisted of two parts: single ascending dose (Part A; 1, 5, 20, 80, 150 or 300 mg ONO-7684 or placebo) and multiple ascending doses (Part B; 80, 150 or 250 mg ONO-7684 or placebo daily for 14 days). In both parts, subjects were randomised in a 3:1 ratio to receive ONO-7684 or placebo.

Results

ONO-7684 was well tolerated at all dose levels tested following both single and repeated doses, with a low overall incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. There was no evidence to suggest a bleeding risk. Dose proportionality in exposure was observed for the range of 1-300 mg ONO-7684 in Part A. In Part A, the half-life of ONO-7684 administered in the fasted state ranged from 16.0 to 19.8 hours. In Part B, the half-life of ONO-7684 administered in the fed state ranged from 22.1 to 27.9 hours, supporting once daily oral dosing. ONO-7684 strongly inhibited factor XI coagulation activity (FXI:C) and increased activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), with a mean maximum on treatment percentage inhibition versus baseline of 92% and a mean maximum on treatment ratio-to-baseline of 2.78, respectively, at 250 mg ONO-7684 daily.

Conclusions

The data generated in this FIH study demonstrate the promising potential of oral FXIa inhibition and ONO-7684 for indications requiring anticoagulation.

Project description:BackgroundVafidemstat, an inhibitor of the histone lysine-specific demethylase KDM1A, corrects cognition deficits and behavior alterations in rodent models. Here, we report the results from the first-in-human trial of vafidemstat in healthy young and older adult volunteers. A total of 110 volunteers participated: 87 were treated with vafidemstat and 23 with placebo.ObjectivesThe study aimed to determine the safety and tolerability of vafidemstat, to characterize its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles, to assess its central nervous system (CNS) exposure, and to acquire the necessary data to select the appropriate doses for long-term treatment of patients with CNS disease in phase II trials.MethodsThis single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I trial included a single and 5-day repeated dose-escalation and open-label CNS penetration substudy. Primary outcomes were safety and tolerability; secondary outcomes included analysis of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including chemoprobe-based immune analysis of KDM1A target engagement (TE) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and platelet monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) inhibition. CNS and cognitive function were also evaluated.ResultsNo severe adverse events (AEs) were reported in the dose-escalation stage. AEs were reported at all dose levels; none were dose dependent, and no significant differences were observed between active treatment and placebo. Biochemistry, urinalysis, vital signs, electrocardiogram, and hematology did not change significantly with dose escalation, with the exception of a transient reduction of platelet counts in an extra dose level incorporated for that purpose. Vafidemstat exhibits rapid oral absorption, approximate dose-proportional exposures, and moderate systemic accumulation after 5 days of treatment. The cerebrospinal fluid-to-plasma unbound ratio demonstrated CNS penetration. Vafidemstat bound KDM1A in PBMCs in a dose-dependent manner. No MAOB inhibition was detected. Vafidemstat did not affect the CNS or cognitive function.ConclusionsVafidemstat displayed good safety and tolerability. This phase I trial confirmed KDM1A TE and CNS penetration and permitted characterization of platelet dynamics and selection of phase IIa doses.Trial registrationEUDRACT No. 2015-003721-33, filed 30 October 2015.

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),
