Abstract Aim This study assessed the linearity of pharmacokinetics (PK) of trimetazidine (TMZ) modified-release tablets (indicated in adults as an add-on therapy for stable angina pectoris) and measured its renal elimination, safety, and tolerability in healthy subjects. Methods This was a randomized, open-label, single-ascending dose study in healthy subjects. Subjects were administered with a single dose of 35, 70, or 105 mg TMZ-modified release tablets (six subjects each). Pharmacokinetic evaluations and safety analysis were performed before the first dose and till 48 h post-first dose. Results Following administration of 35, 70, and 105 mg TMZ-modified release; the Cmax (mean±SD) was 79.32 (±23.08), 153.17 (±23.08), and 199.67 (±23.08) ng/mL, the Tmax was 5.42 (±0.49), 4.51 (±1.27), and 4.57 (±0.96) h, t1/2 was 7.75 (±1.62), 6.40 (±1.23), and 6.50 (±1.18) h, AUC(0-inf) was 1116.89 (±378.35), 1838.39 (±284.50), and 2504.84 (±348.35) ng.h/mL, CLR was 13.70 (±2.24), 14.80 (±5.91), and 19.58 (±6.24) L·h−1 and CL/F was 33.69 (±8.51), 38.85 (±6.15), and 42.74 (±7.10) L·h−1, respectively. Slope estimates for AUC(0-inf), AUC(0-t), and Cmax were less than 1. Corresponding 95% CI of the slope for the AUC parameters excluded 1, indicating that the deviation from dose-proportionality was statistically significant. Corresponding 95% CI of the slope for Cmax included 1, indicating that the less than dose-proportional increase in Cmax was not statistically significant. No significant adverse events were observed. Conclusion Substantial deviation from a dose-proportional increase in AUC(0-inf) and AUC(0-t) suggested a non-linear PK for TMZ-modified release. Single dose of TMZ-modified release was well tolerated and safe.

Background DPP-4inhibitors showed analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity in human and animal-studies. DPP-4 inhibitors improved nerve function and thermal nociception in animal models. Aim of the study was to explore analgesic activity of single and multiple doses of teneligliptin 20 mg/day using hot air analgesiometer in healthy human volunteers.Methods: After IEC approval and informed consent, subjects were randomized to receive either teneligliptin 20 mg or placebo in double-blinded manner with standard breakfast. Mean pain threshold and tolerance(sec) using hot air analgesiometer were recorded at baseline and 1 hr, 2 hrs post drug on day1, for single dose study. Subsequently drugs were administered under supervision daily for 6 days and same procedure repeated on day8 for multiple-dose study. After 2 weeks washout, subjects crossed over in period 2 to other formulation and same procedure repeated to determine study parameters. Fasting blood-sugar (FBS) monitored, ADRs recorded in CRF. Statistical analysis done with SPSS20.0.Results: Twelve-healthy subjects (8 males, 4 females) with mean age 33.08±4.69 years, mean BMI 22.6±1.37kg/m2 participated. Single dose teneligliptin produced significant increase in pain threshold (35.9%) and pain tolerance (25.1%) (p<0.0001) at 1hour compared to baseline. With multiple doses, pain threshold increased by 37.1% and pain tolerance by 25.4% (p<0.0001) at 1hour compared to baseline. The increase in pain threshold and tolerance values at 1 and 2 hours were similar. There was no significant change in pain threshold(p=0.4135) and tolerance (p=0.4476) at baseline on day1 and day 8. Placebo showed non-significant change in study parameters. Both treatments well tolerated. FBS of volunteers within normal limits during treatment period and no hypoglycemia reported.Conclusions: Results of our study suggest that teneligliptin20mg in healthy subjects demonstrated significant analgesic activity on day 1 and day 8 compared to baseline & placebo. Its role in painful diabetic conditions can be further explored.

Abstract Background Etrolizumab, a humanized anti-β7 antibody, has not been studied in children. Here, we evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of etrolizumab in children with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods Patients age 4 to 17 years with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease were randomized 1:1 to receive 1.5mg/kg of etrolizumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks (q4w) or 3.0mg/kg every 8 weeks (q8w) for 16 weeks in this open-label phase 1 trial. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and efficacy were assessed. Results Of the 24 patients treated, 21 completed the study. In the groups of 1.5mg/kg q4w and 3.0mg/kg q8w, respectively, mean (SD) maximum concentration (Cmax) was 9.8 (4.86) µg/mL and 18.1 (6.25) µg/mL; and mean (SD) area under the curve within a dosing interval (AUCtau) was 167 (86.9) and 521 (306) μg·day/mL after the last dose. The Cmax increased dose proportionally. The AUC over an 8-week period was slightly higher in the 3.0mg/kg q8w dose group. Median half-life was similar for both dosing regimens. Median numbers of free β7high gut-homing T and B cell subsets declined below 10% of baseline, confirming β7 target engagement and complete/near-complete receptor occupancy. Adverse events were consistent with the safety profile in adults. Approximately 60% of patients achieved a clinical response. Conclusions Etrolizumab showed a dose-proportional increase in Cmax and a slightly greater than dose-proportional increase in AUCtau. Both regimens achieved complete/near-complete β7 receptor occupancy, with a similar relationship to concentration as adults. Etrolizumab was well tolerated and demonstrated clinical activity in children.

Abstract Background Sibofimloc (EB8018/TAK-018) is a gut-restricted orally administered, first-in-class, FimH blocker that targets FimH, a TLR4 receptor, expressed on E. coli and other Enterobacteriaceae in patients with CD. In a previous study, sibofimloc up to 1500 mg twice daily was well tolerated when administered to healthy subjects over a 14-day period. PK results indicated that sibofimloc was detectable in plasma at a very low level. The current study investigated the PK, safety, and pharmacodynamic effects of sibofimloc following 13 days of 1500 mg twice daily oral administration in patients with CD. Objectives of this study were to determine the PK (primary) and safety profiles, effects on inflammatory biomarkers, gut microbiome and on stool frequency and pain score. Methods We conducted a multicenter open-label study to enrol 8 adult patients with active CD (faecal calprotectin (FCP) ≥150 µg/g and/or ulcers at colonoscopy). Pregnant women were excluded. This study was divided into two parts. 1)Two patients received a single dose of 3000 mg sibofimloc followed, after a wash-out period, by a 13 day-period with1500 mg twice daily. 2)After review of data from these two patients, the 6 remaining patients received 1500 mg sibofimloc twice daily for a 13 day period. Results Cmax values for the 2 initial patients (after single dose 3000 mg sibofimloc) were 51.3 and 348 ng/ml respectively and allowed part 2 of the study. The main safety and PK data of an interim analysis after the first 4 patients had been treated with sibofimloc 1500 mg twice daily are presented in the table. In a previous study in 7 healthy subjects, after 14 days sibofimloc 1500 mg twice daily, median Cmax[min-max] at Day14 was 49[19.2–86.6]ng/ml. Conclusion These preliminary data confirmed that sibofimloc was well tolerated. In the small subset of patients analyzed, there was a slightly higher plasma exposure and interpatient variability compared with what has been seen earlier in healthy subjects. The safety and PK data allowed the continuation of the clinical development program with the initiation of a phase 2 trial for postoperative maintenance in patients with CD.
