Project description:AimsTo evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BI 655064 in healthy Chinese and Japanese subjects after administration of single doses of 80-240 mg and multiple dosing of 240 mg once weekly over 4 weeks.MethodsTwo phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies were conducted (single-rising doses of BI 655064 in Chinese/Japanese male subjects [n = 12 per BI 655064 dose group] or repeated 240 mg BI 655064 in Chinese male subjects [n = 9]). Plasma samples were collected to investigate BI 655064 pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (CD40 receptor occupancy [RO]) and immunogenicity, along with the safety and tolerability of BI 655064.ResultsBI 655064 showed good overall tolerability following single-dose administration of 80-240 mg and repeated administration of 240 mg BI 655064 over 4 weeks. More Chinese subjects reported adverse events compared with Japanese subjects following single-dose administration (59.4% vs 3.1%). BI 655064 exhibited nonlinear, saturable kinetics, with higher doses resulting in slower apparent clearance (0.514-0.713 mL min-1 ), and disproportionately higher total exposure (AUC0-inf ; 5610-7780 μg·h mL-1 ) and maximum plasma concentration (15 700-21 300 ng mL-1 ) with 240 mg BI 655064. Ninety percent inhibition of CD40 RO was achieved with doses ≥120 mg, and a direct relationship between BI 655064 plasma concentration and inhibition of CD40 RO was observed. Most subjects had a positive treatment-emergent antidrug antibody response.ConclusionsBI 655064 pharmacokinetic and safety profiles in East Asian male subjects were consistent with those observed in a Western population. No adjustments in the BI 655064 dosing recommendations are warranted for future clinical trials.

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:Primary immune thrombocytopenia is an autoimmune disorder characterized by increased platelet destruction and insufficient platelet production without another identified underlying disorder. Splenectomy may alter responsiveness to treatment and/or increase the risk of thrombosis, infection, and pulmonary hypertension. The analysis herein evaluated the safety and efficacy of the thrombopoietin receptor agonist romiplostim in splenectomized and nonsplenectomized adults with primary immune thrombocytopenia. Data were pooled across 13 completed clinical studies in adults with immune thrombocytopenia from 2002-2014. Adverse event rates were adjusted for time of exposure. Results were considered different when 95% confidence intervals were non-overlapping. Safety was analyzed for 1111 patients (395 splenectomized; 716 nonsplenectomized) who received romiplostim or control (placebo or standard of care). At baseline, splenectomized patients had a longer median duration of immune thrombocytopenia and a lower median platelet count, as well as a higher proportion with >3 prior immune thrombocytopenia treatments versus nonsplenectomized patients. In each treatment group, splenectomized patients used rescue medications more often than nonsplenectomized patients. Platelet response rates (≥50×109/L) for romiplostim were 82% (310/376) for splenectomized and 91% (592/648) for nonsplenectomized patients (P<0.001 by Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test). Platelet responses were stable over time in both subgroups. Exposure-adjusted adverse event rates were higher for control versus romiplostim for both splenectomized (1857 versus 1226 per 100 patient-years) and nonsplenectomized patients (1052 versus 852 per 100 patient-years). In conclusion, responses to romiplostim were seen in both splenectomized and nonsplenectomized patients, and romiplostim was not associated with an increase in the risk of adverse events in splenectomized patients. clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: 00111475(A)(B), 00117143, 00305435, 01143038, 00102323, 00102336, 00415532, 00603642, 00508820, 00907478, 00116688, and 00440037.

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:This phase 1, open-label, single-center study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of single-dose emicizumab in healthy Chinese males. Overall, 16 subjects received a single subcutaneous dose of 1-mg/kg emicizumab. Blood samples were obtained before dosing on day 1 and at regular intervals over 16 weeks after dosing for PK evaluation. A single 1-mg/kg subcutaneous dose of emicizumab was safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese male subjects in the study. Mean (± standard deviation) area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity and maximum concentration were 287 ± 74.2 ?g?d/mL and 7.11 ± 1.77 ?g/mL, respectively, with a terminal half-life of 26.7 (±4.3) days. Emicizumab administration did not show significant impact on pharmacodynamic markers tested, which mostly remained stable throughout the study. One subject tested positive for antidrug antibody, with no impact on his PK or safety profile. Compared with results from healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects receiving the same dose in previous clinical trials, the current results further indicated the absence of difference of emicizumab PK profile across Chinese, Japanese, and Caucasian subjects, validating the use of similar therapeutic doses in Asian and non-Asian populations.

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:GLPG1205 is a modulator of GPR84, a G-protein-coupled receptor reported to be associated with several diseases. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GLPG1205 in healthy subjects were evaluated in 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-site, phase 1 studies. In study 1, 16 (aged 21-48 years) and 24 (24-50 years) healthy men received single doses of GLPG1205 10 to 800 mg, and GLPG1205 50, 100, or 200 mg once daily for 14 days, respectively, or placebo. Study 2 evaluated the effect of aging on GLPG1205 pharmacokinetics: 24 healthy men (aged 37-83 years), weight-matched into 3 age cohorts (65-74, ≥75, and 18-50 years), received GLPG1205 50 mg or placebo once daily for 14 days; an open-label part of this study evaluated a GLPG1205 250-mg loading dose followed by 50 mg once daily for 13 days in 8 healthy men (aged 68-74 years). Single (up to 800 mg) and multiple (maximum tolerated dose 100 mg once daily) GLPG1205 doses had favorable safety and tolerability profiles. After single administration of GLPG1205, median time to occurrence of maximum observed plasma concentration and arithmetic mean apparent terminal half-life ranged from 2.0 to 4.0 and from 30.1 to 140 hours, respectively. Age did not affect GLPG1205 exposure. GPR84 receptor occupancy with GLPG1205 vs placebo confirmed target engagement. These results support further clinical development of GLPG1205.

Project description:STUDY OBJECTIVE:To investigate the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles of fluticasone furoate (FF)/vilanterol (VI) - a fixed-dose combination of an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and a long-acting ?2 -agonist for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - after single and repeat administration in healthy Chinese subjects. DESIGN:Double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-site, randomized, four-way crossover study. SETTING:The Clinical Pharmacological Research Centre at Peking Union Medical College Hospital [PUMCH]) in Beijing, China. SUBJECTS:Sixteen healthy, nonsmoking Chinese adults. INTERVENTION:Subjects were randomized to receive FF/VI 50/25, 100/25, or 200/25 ?g, or placebo once/daily in the morning, delivered by the Ellipta dry powder inhaler, for 7 consecutive days. The subjects then received the other three treatments, with each treatment period separated by a 7-day washout period. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:The co-primary outcome measures reflected pharmacodynamic responses relating to recognized class effects of the two drug classes: reduced serum cortisol level (ICSs), and increased Fridericia's corrected QT interval (QTcF) and reduced serum potassium level (long-acting ?2 -agonists). Co-primary pharmacodynamic endpoints were 0-24-hour weighted mean serum cortisol level on day 7 (cortisol0-24 hr, Day 7 ), and 0-4-hour weighted mean and maximum QTcF and weighted mean and minimum serum potassium level on days 1 and 7. Fluticasone furoate and VI plasma concentrations, derived pharmacokinetic parameters, and safety were also assessed. Of the 16 subjects randomized, 15 completed the study. Reductions in cortisol0-24 hour, Day 7 of 15% and 25% were observed with FF/VI 100/25 and 200/25 ?g, respectively, versus placebo. Minor increases (< 10 msec) in maximum QTcF on day 7 were seen with FF/VI 50/25 and 100/25 ?g but not with 200/25 ?g. Slight decreases in serum potassium level were only observed in subjects receiving FF/VI 50/25 ?g on day 1 and FF/VI 50/25 and 200/25 ?g on day 7. Fluticasone furoate accumulation (day 7 vs day 1) for FF/VI 50/25-200/25 ?g ranged from 38 to 54% for maximum observed concentration and 63-71% for area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 4 hours. Fluticasone furoate pharmacokinetics were less than dose proportional. The VI pharmacokinetic profiles were similar for all three FF/VI doses. Adverse events were all mild in intensity and were reported by 13 (81%) of the 16 subjects. CONCLUSION:In healthy Chinese subjects, minimal and non-clinically relevant ?-adrenergic pharmacodynamic effects were observed with FF/VI doses ranging from 50/25 to 200/25 ?g. FF dose-dependent reductions in serum cortisol levels of 15-25% were seen after administration of FF/VI 100/25 and 200/25 ?g. FF/VI was safe and well tolerated in these subjects at doses ranging from 50/25 to 200/25 ?g.

Project description:"Immune thrombocytopenia" (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder that leads to peripheral destruction, as well as a decreased production of platelets. ITP most commonly presents as mild mucocutaneous bleeding. Though it is rare, the leading cause of mortality in persons with ITP is intracranial hemorrhage and those that do not respond to therapy are at increased risk. Our understanding of the pathophysiology of ITP has evolved immensely, especially over the last 60 years. The discovery of the platelet-production stimulator, thrombopoietin (TPO), lent clarity to an earlier hypothesis that inhibition of platelet production at the level of the megakaryocyte, at least in part, accounts for thrombocytopenia in adults with ITP. This facilitated the development of TPO-based therapies to treat ITP. Thrombopoietin receptor agonists are one of the most recent treatments to enter the landscape. Original production of a recombinant human TPO was halted after clinical trials revealed the untoward effect of autoantibodies to the recombinant human TPO with cross-reactivity to endogenous TPO. Next-step development focused on stimulation of the TPO receptor with fewer immunogenic agents. Currently, two such thrombopoietin receptor agonists, romiplostim and eltrombopag, are licensed in the USA to treat thrombocytopenia in adults with persistent or chronic ITP. Ongoing research will assess their efficacy in other immune-mediated and nonimmune-mediated primary and secondary thrombocytopenias.

Project description:Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in dogs is analogous to that in humans. Romiplostim, a novel thrombopoietin receptor (TPO-R) agonist, is currently used for the treatment of refractory ITP in humans, but not in dogs. Here, we describe the response to romiplostim in five dogs with refractory ITP. Five dogs with severe and refractory ITP (three primary and two secondary) received romiplostim subcutaneously. Four dogs were administered 3-5 ?g/kg and one dog received 10-13 ?g/kg body weight once weekly.Romiplostim was well-tolerated and administration was associated with an increase in platelet counts in all five dogs. Four of the five dogs entered remission and relapses were not observed over a follow-up period of 3-10 months.Romiplostim is effective in the treatment of ITP in dogs at least as well as in humans. This finding may help to develop and use new therapeutics for ITP in dogs and humans.
