Project description:Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor ? subunit (IL-4R?) of IL-4 heterodimeric type I and type II receptors that mediate IL-4/IL-13 signaling through this pathway. Blockade of these receptors broadly suppresses type 2 inflammation associated with atopic/allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis and asthma. Six phase 1 studies investigated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of dupilumab in healthy subjects. Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential studies assessed safety and tolerability of single escalating dupilumab doses administered intravenously or subcutaneously (one included various racial groups, and one included exclusively Japanese subjects); 3 randomized, parallel-group, single-dose studies compared the pharmacokinetic profiles of different dupilumab products and formulations after single subcutaneous doses; and one study assessed dupilumab administered as fast versus slow subcutaneous injections. Dupilumab concentrations in serum were measured in all studies, and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) and thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) concentrations were measured in 2 studies as pharmacodynamic markers. Across the phase 1 studies, dupilumab exhibited target-mediated pharmacokinetics consisting of parallel linear and nonlinear elimination, with the target-mediated phase highly dominated by nonlinearity at lower drug concentrations. Systemic exposure and tolerability of dupilumab were consistent irrespective of differences in product, formulation, or racial background. Dupilumab reduced circulating concentrations of total IgE and TARC, indicating blockade of IL-4R?-mediated signaling. Dupilumab had a favorable safety profile across the wide range of doses administered. Together, these findings support the continued development and use of dupilumab in treatment of type 2 diseases.

Project description:CKD-519 is a selective and potent cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of dyslipidemia to raise high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. We investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single doses of CKD-519 in healthy adult subjects. A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study was performed. Eight healthy subjects were enrolled in each CKD-519 dose group (25, 50, 100, 200, or 400 mg) and randomized to CKD-519 (n=6) or matching placebo (n=2). CKD-519 reached the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) at 5-6 h post-dose, and had a long terminal half-life ranging between 40-70 h. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) and Cmax increased with the dose, however, Cmax and AUC normalized by dose decreased with each incremental dose. CETP activity decreased with dose, and the maximum decrease (63%-83%) was observed at 6-8 h post-dose. A sigmoid Emax model best described the relationship between CKD-519 plasma concentrations and CETP activity with an EC50 of 17.3 ng/mL. Overall, 11 adverse events (AEs) were observed. All AEs were mild or moderate in intensity, and resolved without any complications. There were no clinically significant effects on blood pressure. In conclusion, single doses of CKD-519 up to 400 mg were well tolerated and showed potent inhibition of CETP activity.

Project description:AIMS:?-Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is used as a treatment for narcolepsy and alcohol withdrawal and as a recreational substance. Nevertheless, there are limited data on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of GHB in humans. We characterized the pharmacokinetic profile and exposure-psychotropic effect relationship of GHB in humans. METHODS:Two oral doses of GHB (25 and 35 mg kg(-1) ) were administered to 32 healthy male subjects (16 for each dose) using a randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over design. RESULTS:Maximal concentrations of GHB were (geometric mean and 95% CI): 218 (176-270) nmol ml(-1) and 453 (374-549) nmol ml(-1) for the 25 and 35 mg kg(-1) GHB doses, respectively. The elimination half-lives (mean ± SD) were 36 ± 9 and 39 ± 7 min and the AUC? values (geometric mean and 95% CI) were 15 747 (12 854-19 290) and 40 113 (33 093-48 622) nmol?min ml(-1) for the 20 and 35 mg kg(-1) GHB doses, respectively. Thus, plasma GHB exposure (AUC0-? ) rose disproportionally (+40%) with the higher dose. ?-Hydroxybutyrate produced mixed stimulant-sedative effects, with a dose-dependent increase in sedation and dizziness. It did not alter heart rate or blood pressure. A close relationship between plasma GHB exposure and its psychotropic effects was found, with higher GHB concentrations associated with higher subjective stimulation, sedation, and dizziness. No clockwise hysteresis was observed in the GHB concentration effect plot over time (i.e., no acute pharmacological tolerance). CONCLUSION:Evidence was found of a nonlinear dose-exposure relationship (i.e., no dose proportionality) at moderate doses of GHB. The effects of GHB on consciousness were closely linked to its plasma exposure and exhibited no acute tolerance.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Peficitinib pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics have been characterized mainly in Caucasian subjects. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of peficitinib in healthy Japanese subjects compared with Caucasian subjects. METHODS:In this single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, a cohort of healthy Japanese (n?=?24) and Caucasian (n?=?24) men received a single oral dose of peficitinib (20, 60, or 200 mg) or placebo. Another cohort of Japanese men (n?=?24) received peficitinib (10, 30, or 100 mg) or placebo twice daily for 7 days. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were assessed, and adverse events (AEs) monitored throughout. RESULTS:Dose proportionality of maximum plasma drug concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) was demonstrated for both ethnicities. The geometric mean ratio for dose-normalized Cmax was 45.7-98.8% higher and AUCinf was 33.8-66.4% higher in Japanese versus Caucasian subjects. Mean peak inhibition of STAT5 phosphorylation was higher in Japanese than Caucasian subjects for a given peficitinib dose, but inhibition was comparable across ethnicities for a given plasma peficitinib concentration. In the multiple-dose study, plasma peficitinib concentrations were similar on day 1 and day 7. All AEs were mild, and none resulted in study discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS:Peficitinib was well tolerated at doses up to 200 mg daily for 7 days in healthy Japanese subjects. Dose-proportional exposure was demonstrated across the single-dose range of 20-200 mg, with greater peficitinib exposure in Japanese compared with Caucasian subjects. The pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships were considered comparable between these populations. CLINICALTRIALS. GOV IDENTIFIER:NCT01225224.

Project description:Background and purposeAnaemia of chronic disease is characterized by impaired erythropoiesis due to functional iron deficiency, often caused by excessive hepcidin. Lexaptepid pegol, a pegylated structured l-oligoribonucleotide, binds and inactivates hepcidin.Experimental approachWe conducted a placebo-controlled study on the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lexaptepid after single and repeated i.v. and s.c. administration to 64 healthy subjects at doses from 0.3 to 4.8 mg·kg(-1) .Key resultsAfter treatment with lexaptepid, serum iron concentration and transferrin increased dose-dependently. Iron increased from approximately 20 μmol·L(-1) at baseline by 67% at 8 h after i.v. infusion of 1.2 mg·kg(-1) lexaptepid. The pharmacokinetics showed dose-proportional increases in peak plasma concentrations and moderately over-proportional increases in systemic exposure. Lexaptepid had no effect on hepcidin production or anti-drug antibodies. Treatment with lexaptepid was generally safe and well tolerated, with mild and transient transaminase increases at doses ≥2.4 mg·kg(-1) and with local injection site reactions after s.c. but not after i.v. administration.Conclusions and implicationsLexaptepid pegol inhibited hepcidin and dose-dependently raised serum iron and transferrin saturation. The compound is being further developed to treat anaemia of chronic disease.

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:GLPG1690 is a novel autotaxin inhibitor in development for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We report phase 1 studies investigating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GLPG1690 in healthy subjects. We performed a first-in-human randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of single (20, 60, 150, 300, 600, 1000, 1500 mg) and multiple (14 days: 150 mg twice daily; 600 and 1000 mg once daily) ascending oral doses of GLPG1690 (NCT02179502), and a randomized, open-label, crossover relative bioavailability study to compare the PK of tablet and capsule formulations of GLPG1690 600 mg and to assess the effect of food on PK of the tablet formulation (NCT03143712). Forty and 13 subjects were randomized in the first-in-human and relative bioavailability studies, respectively. GLPG1690 was well tolerated, with no dose-limiting toxicity at all single and multiple doses. GLPG1690 was rapidly absorbed and eliminated, with a median tmax and mean t1/2 of approximately 2 and 5 hours, respectively. GLPG1690 exposure increased with increasing dose (mean Cmax , 0.09-19.01 µg/mL; mean AUC0-inf , 0.501-168 µg·h/mL, following single doses of GLPG1690 20-1500 mg). PD response, evidenced by rapid reduction in plasma lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) C18:2 levels, increased with increasing GLPG1690 plasma levels, plateauing at approximately 80% reduction in LPA C18:2 at around 0.6 µg/mL GLPG1690. Tablet and capsule formulations had similar PK profiles, and no clinically significant food effect was observed when comparing tablets taken in fed and fasted states. The safety, tolerability, and PK/PD profiles of GLPG1690 support continued clinical development for IPF.

Project description:AimsThis investigation characterised tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the anti-CD38 antibody TAK-079.MethodsA randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a single intravenous (i.v.) infusion or subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of TAK-079 at escalating doses in healthy subjects (n = 74), who were followed for 92 days postexposure.ResultsTAK-079 was well tolerated. All adverse events were mild or moderate. There were no withdrawals, infusion, or injection site reactions over the tested i.v. and s.c. doses up to 0.06 and 0.6 mg kg-1 , respectively. At higher doses, transient cytokine level increases, following i.v. administration, coincided with reduction in CD38-expressing cells; clinical symptoms included mild pyrexia, headache, and postural hypotension. Following an i.v. infusion of 0.06 mg kg-1 TAK-079, maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax ) was 100.4 (%CV: 52) ng mL-1 , time to Cmax was the end of infusion and natural killer (NK_ cells were reduced 93.8 (±8.5) % from baseline levels. Following a s.c. injection of 0.6 mg kg-1 TAK-079, Cmax was 23.0 (%CV: 67) ng mL-1 with time to Cmax of 24 (range 7.98-96.02) hours, and plasmablasts were subsequently reduced 93.4 (±8.8) % from predose levels. Serum immunoglobulin (Ig)M, IgA and IgG levels were reduced by 15-60% and had not returned to baseline levels within 78 days after administration at ≥0.3 mg kg-1 s.c. Reductions in NK cells at 0.6 mg kg-1 s.c. were approximately 2-3 times more durable than at 0.06 mg kg-1 i.v.ConclusionsTAK-079 was well tolerated and s.c. administration elicited more durable reductions in plasmablasts and NK cells. This plasmacytolytic profile could be useful for treating disorders caused by plasma or NK cells, malignant counterparts, and/or pathogenic antibodies.

Project description:Background and objectiveLysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is used recreationally and in clinical research. The aim of the present study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics and exposure-response relationship of oral LSD.MethodsWe analyzed pharmacokinetic data from two published placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over studies using oral administration of LSD 100 and 200 µg in 24 and 16 subjects, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of the 100-µg dose is shown for the first time and data for the 200-µg dose were reanalyzed and included. Plasma concentrations of LSD, subjective effects, and vital signs were repeatedly assessed. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using compartmental modeling. Concentration-effect relationships were described using pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling.ResultsGeometric mean (95% confidence interval) maximum plasma concentration values of 1.3 (1.2-1.9) and 3.1 (2.6-4.0) ng/mL were reached 1.4 and 1.5 h after administration of 100 and 200 µg LSD, respectively. The plasma half-life was 2.6 h (2.2-3.4 h). The subjective effects lasted (mean ± standard deviation) 8.2 ± 2.1 and 11.6 ± 1.7 h for the 100- and 200-µg LSD doses, respectively. Subjective peak effects were reached 2.8 and 2.5 h after administration of LSD 100 and 200 µg, respectively. A close relationship was observed between the LSD concentration and subjective response within subjects, with moderate counterclockwise hysteresis. Half-maximal effective concentration values were in the range of 1 ng/mL. No correlations were found between plasma LSD concentrations and the effects of LSD across subjects at or near maximum plasma concentration and within dose groups.ConclusionsThe present pharmacokinetic data are important for the evaluation of clinical study findings (e.g., functional magnetic resonance imaging studies) and the interpretation of LSD intoxication. Oral LSD presented dose-proportional pharmacokinetics and first-order elimination up to 12 h. The effects of LSD were related to changes in plasma concentrations over time, with no evidence of acute tolerance.Trial registrationNCT02308969, NCT01878942.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Atacicept is an inhibitor of the B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), and is being studied in relation to immunological disease. Currently, limited data on atacicept are available in non-Caucasian subjects. Pharmacokinetic data from earlier studies of atacicept were derived using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which was subsequently found to have inadequacies. Hence, a new bioanalytical ELISA for total atacicept was developed and validated. We conducted this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I study to compare the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of atacicept in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects while generating pharmacokinetic data using the new ELISA. METHODS:Japanese subjects aged???18 to???55 years (n? =?24) were randomized (1:1:1:1) to a single subcutaneous dose of atacicept 25, 75, or 150 mg or placebo. Caucasian subjects were then enrolled to match the Japanese subjects' gender, body weight (±?20%), and height (±?15%). RESULTS:Atacicept was well tolerated and there were no clinically significant differences in treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, or laboratory parameters between the Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Most (90%) TEAEs were mild; no severe or serious TEAEs or deaths occurred. Weight-adjusted atacicept exposure was comparable between ethnicities and across doses: the Japanese/Caucasian ratio of the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the last sampling point (AUC0-t) was 107.21% (90% CI 93.42-123.02%) and the Japanese/Caucasian ratio of maximum serum concentration (Cmax) was 95.74% (90% CI 74.26-123.43%; ANCOVA). Median time to reach Cmax (tmax) was 20-60 h across all subjects. Dose-exposure relationships were comparable for the two ethnicities, with dose-normalized AUC0-t decreasing with increasing dose, indicating nonlinear pharmacokinetics for the doses examined. There were no statistically significant differences between ethnicities in the pharmacokinetics-dose relationship. Some transient dose-related decreases in mean serum immunoglobulin (Ig)A and IgM, but not IgG, were observed after atacicept administration. There were small transient increases in peripheral B cell numbers in the first 4 days after dosing that were larger with atacicept than with placebo, with no apparent dose relationship. No anti-atacicept antibodies were detected. CONCLUSION:The safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of atacicept in healthy Japanese subjects were comparable to those in healthy Caucasian subjects. EudraCT-ID: 2013-002703-34.
