Project description:This phase 2 study was designed to compare systemic decitabine exposure, demethylation activity, and safety in the first 2 cycles with cedazuridine 100 mg/decitabine 35 mg vs standard decitabine 20 mg/m2 IV. Adults with International Prognostic Scoring System intermediate-1/2- or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) were randomized 1:1 to receive oral cedazuridine/decitabine or IV decitabine in cycle 1, followed by crossover to the other treatment in cycle 2. All patients received oral cedazuridine/decitabine in subsequent cycles. Cedazuridine and decitabine were given initially as separate capsules in a dose-confirmation stage and then as a single fixed-dose combination (FDC) tablet. Primary end points: mean decitabine systemic exposure (geometric least-squares mean [LSM]) of oral/IV 5-day area under curve from time 0 to last measurable concentration (AUClast), percentage long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1) DNA demethylation for oral cedazuridine/decitabine vs IV decitabine, and clinical response. Eighty patients were randomized and treated. Oral/IV ratios of geometric LSM 5-day AUClast (80% confidence interval) were 93.5% (82.1-106.5) and 97.6% (80.5-118.3) for the dose-confirmation and FDC stages, respectively. Differences in mean %LINE-1 demethylation between oral and IV were ≤1%. Clinical responses were observed in 48 patients (60%), including 17 (21%) with complete response. The most common grade ≥3 adverse events regardless of causality were neutropenia (46%), thrombocytopenia (38%), and febrile neutropenia (29%). Oral cedazuridine/decitabine (100/35 mg) produced similar systemic decitabine exposure, DNA demethylation, and safety vs decitabine 20 mg/m2 IV in the first 2 cycles, with similar efficacy. This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02103478.

Project description:The Combination HIV Antiretroviral Rectal Microbicide-3 (CHARM-03) study was a randomized, open-label, crossover Phase 1 safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) study of oral maraviroc (MVC) and MVC 1% gel. At a single site, healthy HIV-uninfected men and women were enrolled and randomized to an open label crossover sequence of eight consecutive daily exposures to MVC 300 mg dosed orally, MCV 1% gel dosed rectally, and MVC 1% gel dosed vaginally. Male participants received oral and rectal dosing and female participants received oral, rectal, and vaginal dosing. Assessments were undertaken at baseline and following each 8-day period and included collection of plasma, rectal/cervical tissue (CT), and rectal/endocervical/vaginal fluids. Eleven men and nine women were enrolled. Two participants withdrew from the study before receiving study product. There were 25 adverse events, of which 24 were Grade 1 (G1) and one was G2 (unrelated). After eight doses, MVC was quantifiable in all samples following oral, rectal, or vaginal product administration. The highest drug concentrations in plasma, rectal tissue (RT), and CT were associated with oral, rectal, and vaginal drug delivery, respectively. There were significant reductions in tissue drug concentrations when rectal and cervical biopsies were incubated in media before tissue processing for PK (p < .0001). Only oral MVC was associated with limited protection in the rectal explant HIV challenge model (p < .05). There were no immunological changes in RT, and all products were acceptable to participants. In conclusion, all products were found to be safe and acceptable and did not induce local inflammation. The lack of ex vivo efficacy demonstrated in study samples may be due to rapid disassociation of MVC from the explant tissue. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02346084.

Project description:Background and objectivePerampanel is a once-daily oral anti-seizure medication indicated for focal-onset seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. This study investigated the single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of perampanel in healthy Chinese adults.MethodsStudy 052 (NCT03424564) was a phase I, single-center, open-label, parallel-group study. In the single-dose part of the study, subjects received a single oral dose of perampanel 2, 4, or 8 mg. In the multiple-dose part, subjects received once-daily oral perampanel 2 mg on Days 1-7 and 4 mg on Days 8-21. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from perampanel plasma concentrations using non-compartmental analysis. Dose proportionality after single doses of perampanel was assessed. Safety and tolerability were evaluated.ResultsIn the single-dose part (N = 30), median time to reach maximum concentration (tmax) was 0.75-1.0 h, mean terminal elimination phase half-life (t½) was 85.6-122 h, mean maximum observed concentration (Cmax) was 77.9-276 ng/mL, and mean area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC(0-t)) was 4070-15100 ng·h/mL. Single-dose pharmacokinetics were linear for perampanel 2-8 mg. In the multiple-dose part (N = 12), Day 21 steady-state (4 mg/day) parameters were median time at which the highest drug concentration occurs at steady state (tss,max), 1.25 h; mean t½, 109 h; mean maximum observed concentration at steady state (Css,max), 453 ng/mL; and mean area under the concentration-time curve over the dosing interval on multiple dosing (AUC(0- τ)), 7540 ng·h/mL. For single- and multiple-dose perampanel, the most common treatment-emergent adverse events were dizziness and somnolence.ConclusionsSingle- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetics of perampanel in healthy Chinese adults revealed rapid perampanel absorption, slow elimination, and a linear relationship with single perampanel doses of 2-8 mg. Findings were consistent with previous studies of perampanel pharmacokinetics in other ethnic/racial populations of healthy subjects. Single and multiple doses of perampanel were generally safe and well tolerated.Clinical trial registrationNCT03424564; registered February 2018.

Project description:BackgroundThe oral IP receptor agonist selexipag is approved for the long-term treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Treatment interruptions should be avoided due to the progressive nature of the disease. An intravenous (IV) formulation of selexipag was developed to provide a treatment option for short-term interruptions to oral selexipag. In this prospective, multicenter, open-label study, the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of temporarily switching between oral and IV selexipag were investigated (NCT03187678, ClinicalTrials.gov).MethodsPAH patients receiving stable oral selexipag doses were enrolled. Following three consecutive IV selexipag infusions patients resumed oral selexipag. Corresponding IV and oral doses were selected to achieve comparable exposure to the active metabolite of selexipag. Safety outcomes were monitored throughout, and pharmacokinetic samples were obtained after oral and IV administration.ResultsAll 20 patients completed the study. Fifteen patients had adverse events (AEs), most were mild, and none resulted in discontinuation. Headache was the most common AE throughout the study (four patients). Three serious AEs occurred in two patients with underlying comorbidities when oral dosing had resumed. There were no changes in WHO functional class for any patient and no clinically symptomatic changes in blood pressure were observed. Comparable exposure to the active metabolite of selexipag was demonstrated following corresponding oral and IV selexipag doses.ConclusionsTemporarily switching between corresponding doses of oral and IV selexipag was well-tolerated with no unexpected safety findings and comparable exposure to the active metabolite. Treatment with IV selexipag is a feasible option to bridge temporary oral selexipag treatment interruptions.

Project description:The antiepileptic drug (AED) perampanel is approved in ?40 countries as adjunctive therapy for drug-resistant partial seizures in patients with epilepsy. This post hoc analysis of pooled data from three phase III, double-blind, randomized studies of perampanel examines between-gender differences in perampanel efficacy and safety. Of the 1,478 subjects in the pooled analysis (719 male, 759 female), 1,109 were included in the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis. Perampanel oral clearance was 17% lower in female than in male patients not receiving enzyme-inducing AEDs. Pooled efficacy analysis revealed that seizure frequency was reduced with perampanel treatment regardless of gender; a greater numerical reduction in seizure frequency and increased responder rates occurred in female participants at perampanel doses of 4, 8, and 12 mg. Tolerability was similar between groups, although common adverse events such as dizziness and headache occurred more frequently in female subjects. Modest elevations in perampanel exposure in female patients may result in meaningful between-gender differences in efficacy and safety; therefore, dosing should be individualized and clinical response monitored.

Project description:Intravenous administration of acetaminophen is an alternative to the oral and rectal routes, which may be contraindicated in particular clinical settings. This randomized, placebo-controlled study of intravenous acetaminophen (Ofirmev, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Bedminster, New Jersey) in neonate and infant patients with acute postoperative pain assessed pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety, in addition to efficacy and pharmacodynamics of repeated doses administered over 24 hours. Neonate and infant patients (<2 years of age) who were undergoing surgery or had experienced a traumatic injury and were expected to need pain management for at least 24 hours were enrolled. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive intravenous acetaminophen low dose, intravenous acetaminophen high dose, or placebo. A population PK model of intravenous acetaminophen was updated by combining 581 samples from the current study of 158 neonate and infant subjects with results from a previously developed model. The individual predicted-versus-observed concentrations plots showed that the structural PK model fit the blood and plasma acetaminophen concentration-versus-time profiles in the active and placebo groups. Terminal elimination half-life was prolonged in neonates and younger infants and in intermediate and older infants similar to values in adults. When compared with placebo, total rescue opioid consumption was similar and significantly fewer intravenous acetaminophen patients prematurely discontinued because of treatment-emergent adverse events (P < .01). For intravenous acetaminophen, neonates receiving 12.5 mg/kg every 6 hours had PK profiles similar to younger, intermediate, and older infants, adolescents, and adults weighing <50 kg receiving 15 mg/kg every 6 hours and adults ≥ 50 kg receiving 1000 mg every 6 hours.

Project description:Topotecan is widely used for refractory solid tumors but multi-drug resistance may occur due to tumor expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Since erlotinib, an inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor, also inhibits several ABC transporters, we performed a phase I study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous topotecan given in combination with erlotinib.Patients received 150 mg of oral erlotinib daily and a 30 min intravenous infusion of topotecan on days 1-5 of a 21-day cycle. Dosage escalation of topotecan occurred with a starting dosage of 0.75 mg/m(2). The pharmacokinetics of topotecan was evaluated on day 1 of cycle 1 without erlotinib and on day 1 of cycle 2 or 3 with erlotinib.Twenty-nine patients were enrolled. The maximum tolerated dosage was determined to be 1.0 mg/m(2). Dose-limiting toxicities included neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. The average duration of treatment was 97 days. Two partial responses were observed. Topotecan clearance and exposure were similar with and without erlotinib.The combination of topotecan and erlotinib is tolerable at clinically effective doses. Erlotinib does not affect the disposition of topotecan to a clinically significant extent.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of perampanel in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS).MethodsThis randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 2 clinical study was conducted at 12 sites. Patients with probable or definite ALS as defined by revised El Escorial criteria were enrolled. Sixty-six patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive placebo, 4 mg perampanel, or 8 mg perampanel daily for 48 weeks. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded throughout the trial period. The primary efficacy outcome was the change in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) score after 48 weeks of treatment.ResultsOne patient withdrew before starting the treatment. Of 65 patients included, 18 of 22 patients randomized to placebo (82%), 14 of 22 patients randomized to 4 mg perampanel (64%), and 7 of 21 patients randomized to 8 mg perampanel (33%) completed the trial. There was a significant difference in the change of ALSFRS-R scores [- 8.4 (95% CI - 13.9 to - 2.9); p = 0.015] between the placebo and the perampanel 8 mg group, primarily due to worsening of the bulbar subscore in the perampanel 8 mg group. Serious AEs were more frequent in the perampanel 8 mg group than in the placebo group (p = 0.0483).ConclusionsPerampanel was associated with a significant decline in ALSFRS-R score and was linked to worsening of the bulbar subscore in the 8 mg group.

Project description:BackgroundDietary nitrate consumption can increase concentrations of nitrate and nitrite in blood, saliva, and urine. Whether the change in concentrations is influenced by age is currently unknown.ObjectivesWe aimed to measure changes in nitrate and nitrite concentrations in plasma, urine, and saliva and exhaled NO concentrations after single incremental doses of dietary nitrate in young and older healthy adults.MethodsTwelve young (18-35 y old) and 12 older (60-75 y old) healthy, nonsmoking participants consumed single doses of 100 g, 200 g, 300 g whole beetroot (BR) and 1000 mg potassium nitrate (positive control) ≥7 d apart in a crossover, randomized clinical trial. Plasma nitrate and nitrite concentrations and exhaled NO concentrations were measured over a 5-h period. Salivary nitrate and nitrite concentrations were measured over a 12-h period and urinary nitrate over a 24-h period. Time, intervention, age, and interaction effects were measured with repeated-measures ANOVAs.ResultsDose-dependent increases were seen in plasma, salivary, and urinary nitrate after BR ingestion (all P ≤ 0.002) but there were no differences between age groups at baseline (all P ≥ 0.56) or postintervention (all P ≥ 0.12). Plasma nitrite concentrations were higher in young than older participants at baseline (P = 0.04) and after consumption of 200 g (P = 0.04; +25.7 nmol/L; 95% CI: 0.97, 50.3 nmol/L) and 300 g BR (P = 0.02; +50.3 nmol/L; 95% CI: 8.57, 92.1 nmol/L). Baseline fractional exhaled NO (FeNO) concentrations were higher in the younger group [P = 0.03; +8.60 parts per billion (ppb); 95% CI: 0.80, 16.3 ppb], and rose significantly over the 5-h period, peaking 5 h after KNO3 consumption (39.4 ± 4.5 ppb; P < 0.001); however, changes in FeNO were not influenced by age (P = 0.276).ConclusionsBR is a source of bioavailable dietary nitrate in both young and older adults and can effectively raise nitrite and nitrate concentrations. Lower plasma nitrite and FeNO concentrations were found in older subjects, confirming the impact of ageing on NO bioavailability across different systems.This trial was registered at www.isrctn.com as ISRCTN86706442.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess efficacy and safety of once-daily 8 or 12 mg perampanel, a noncompetitive α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist, when added to concomitant antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in the treatment of drug-resistant partial-onset seizures.MethodsThis was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00699972). Patients (≥12 years, with ongoing seizures despite 1-3 AEDs) were randomized (1:1:1) to once-daily perampanel 8 mg, 12 mg, or placebo. Following baseline (6 weeks), patients entered a 19-week double-blind phase: 6-week titration (2 mg/week increments to target dose) followed by a 13-week maintenance period. Percent change in seizure frequency was the primary endpoint; 50% responder rate was the primary endpoint for EU registration.ResultsOf 388 patients randomized and treated, 387 provided seizure frequency data. Using this intent-to-treat population over the double-blind phase, the median percent change in seizure frequency was -21.0%, -26.3%, and -34.5% for placebo and perampanel 8 and 12 mg, respectively (p = 0.0261 and p = 0.0158 for 8 and 12 mg vs placebo, respectively). Fifty percent responder rates during the maintenance period were 26.4%, 37.6%, and 36.1%, respectively, for placebo, perampanel 8 mg, and perampanel 12 mg; these differences were not statistically significant for 8 mg (p = 0.0760) or 12 mg (p = 0.0914). Sixty-eight (17.5%) patients discontinued, including 40 (10.3%) for adverse events. Most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events were dizziness, somnolence, irritability, headache, fall, and ataxia.ConclusionsThis trial demonstrated that once-daily, adjunctive perampanel at doses of 8 or 12 mg improved seizure control in patients with uncontrolled partial-onset seizures. Doses of perampanel 8 and 12 mg were safe, and tolerability was acceptable.Classification of evidenceThis study provides Class I evidence that once-daily 8 and 12 mg doses of adjunctive perampanel are effective in patients with uncontrolled partial-onset seizures.
