ABSTRACT Influenza B can cause significant morbidity and mortality. MHAB5553A, a human monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody that binds to a highly conserved region of the hemagglutinin protein of influenza B virus, is being examined as a novel therapeutic for the treatment of influenza B patients with severe disease. This phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose study was conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MHAB5553A. Twenty-six healthy male and female volunteers of >18 years of age were randomized into five cohorts receiving a single intravenous (i.v.) dose of 120, 1,200, 3,600, 8,400, or 10,800 mg MHAB5553A or placebo (four active:one placebo, except for the 120-mg cohort [4:2]). Subjects were followed for 120 days after dosing. No subject discontinued the study, no dose-limiting adverse events or serious adverse events were reported, and a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not defined. The most commonly reported adverse events were cold symptoms and headache; most were mild and occurred at a similar rate across all cohorts. MHAB5553A showed no relevant time- or dose-related changes in laboratory values or vital signs compared to the placebo. The observed serum PK was linear and generally dose proportional, and the observed nasal PK was nonlinear and generally non-dose proportional. MHAB5553A is generally well tolerated in healthy volunteers up to at least a single i.v. dose of 10,800 mg and demonstrated linear serum PK consistent with those of a human IgG1 antibody lacking known endogenous targets in humans. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT02528903.)

Abstract Abstract 3194 Background: ACE-536 is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of a modified form of the extracellular domain of the human activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) linked to the human IgG1 Fc domain. ACE-536 acts as a ligand trap for members of the TGF-β superfamily involved in erythropoiesis. ACE-536 promotes late-stage erythrocyte precursor cell differentiation by inhibiting specific TGF-β family ligands. Studies of ACE-536 in wild type animals across several species demonstrated an erythroid response that was rapid in onset, robust, and sustained. ACE-536 was also shown to significantly improve hematologic parameters and correct ineffective erythropoiesis in mouse models of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and β-thalassemia. This study is the first human clinical trial of ACE-536. Methods: This was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD effects of ACE-536 in healthy, postmenopausal women. Screening and baseline hemoglobin values were to be between 11.0 and 14.5 g/dL. Sequential cohorts of 8 subjects each were randomized to receive either ACE-536 (n=6) or placebo (n=2) administered as SC injections on Day 1 and Day 15. ACE-536 dose levels tested (prior to halting dose escalation per protocol due to positive hemoglobin response) were 0.0625, 0.125 and 0.25 mg/kg. The study included pre-specified individual stopping rules for the Day 15 dose for increases in hemoglobin, changes in blood pressure, or ≥ grade 3 adverse events. From Day 1 through Day 57, subjects were assessed for safety by monitoring adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, ECG, vital signs and physical examination. Longer-term follow up visits occurred on Days 71 and 127. Results: A total of 32 subjects were enrolled. The mean (SD) age was 59.4 (5.8) yr (range: 49–71 yr). All subjects in the first cohort (0.0625 mg/kg or placebo) received both doses of ACE-536; all subjects in the second cohort (0.125 mg/kg or placebo) received only one dose of ACE-536 due to study interruption. This dose level was repeated for the third cohort in which subjects received 2 doses; 1 subject in that cohort did not receive the second dose due to elevated blood pressure. Four subjects in the fourth cohort (0.25 mg/kg or placebo) did not receive the second dose due to hemoglobin increase ≥ 1.0 g/dL and one additional subject did not receive the second dose due to an AE of papular rash. There were no serious adverse events or study discontinuations reported. The majority of AEs were considered mild in severity. No clinically meaningful abnormalities in laboratory measures, vital signs, physical exam, or ECG were observed, and no anti-drug antibodies were detected. The mean serum ACE-536 Cmax and AUC after the first dose increased in a dose-proportional manner, with mean time to Cmax 7.7–11.7 days and mean elimination T½ 15.5–18.5 days. The maximum hemoglobin increase from baseline at any timepoint for subjects in the 0.25 mg/kg cohort ranged from 0.6 to 2.0 g/dL (5 of 6 subjects increased ≥1.1 g/dL), with a mean maximum increase of 1.3 g/dL (p<0.001 vs placebo). Mean hemoglobin levels increased in that dose group by at least 0.6 g/dL from Day 8 through Day 57, compared with a mean decrease in the placebo group of up to 0.6 g/dL through Day 43 (see Figure). Small increases in mean reticulocyte count and EPO levels were seen in groups treated with higher doses of ACE-536 as compared with the placebo group. Conclusions: The preliminary results from this first-in-human phase 1 study show that ACE-536 is associated with a robust and sustained increase in hemoglobin levels in healthy subjects. Dose levels up to 0.25 mg/kg were generally safe and well-tolerated. The PK results support SC dosing of ACE-536 every 3 weeks. These data warrant further evaluation of ACE-536 in clinical trials in patients with disease-associated ineffective erythropoiesis and anemia, such as MDS and β-thalassemia.

The pharmacokinetics and safety of biapenem were studied in 36 healthy adult subjects in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, sequential single and multiple-ascending dose study using doses from 250 to 1250 mg administered three times a day using 3-hour infusions. Maximum concentrations for biapenem were achieved at the end of the 3-hour infusion. Biapenem exposure (AUC) increased in a slightly greater than dose-proportional manner following single and multiple doses with no evidence of accumulation with multiple doses. Plasma AUCs increased from 18 mg*h/L at 250 mg to 150 mg*h/L at 1250 mg. Urinary recovery ranged from 14.2% at 250 mg to 42.3% at 1250 mg. Biapenem was well tolerated up to 1000 mg administered every 8 hours by 3-hour infusion for 7 days; however, a higher incidence of nausea, vomiting, and rash was reported at 1250 mg. There were no serious adverse events (SAEs) reported following either single or multiple doses of biapenem and all AEs were mild or moderate in severity.

ABSTRACTThis first-in-human randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending-single and -multiple oral dose study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers of KAE609 (cipargamin; formerly NITD609), a spiroindolone now in trials for malaria treatment. It was studied in single-dose cohorts (1 to 300 mg, including one 30-mg food effect cohort) with 4 to 10 subjects in each cohort and in multiple-dose cohorts (10 to 150 mg once daily for 3 days) with 8 subjects in each cohort. The follow-up period was 6 to 8 days post-last dose. Safety and pharmacokinetics were assessed at scheduled time points during the study. Systemic exposure in terms of the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 h extrapolated to infinity (AUC0–∞) increased in a dose-proportional manner over the dose range of 1 to 300 mg. The AUC from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) and the maximum concentration of drug in plasma (Cmax) also increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner. When administered daily for 3 days, the accumulation ratio on day 3 (the AUC from time zero to 24 h postdosing [AUC0–24] on day 3/AUC0–24on day 1) was in the range of 1.5 to 2 in the studied dose range (10 to 150 mg) and was consistent with an elimination half-life of around 24 h. Urine analysis for unchanged KAE609 revealed negligible amounts (≤0.01%) were excreted renally. The high fat food intake did not affect the extent of KAE609 absorption (AUC); however, theCmaxwas reduced by around 27%. KAE609 was tolerated in this study, with transient gastrointestinal and genitourinary adverse events of mild to moderate intensity (semen discoloration, diarrhea, nausea and abdominal discomfort, dizziness and headache, catheter site hematoma). Gastrointestinal and genitourinary adverse events increased with rising doses.

Abstract Background and Aims Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) is a glomerulonephritis characterized by the presence of circulating and glomerular immune complexes containing galactose-deficient (Gd) IgA1. A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily of ligands, is thought to play a key role in the pathogenesis of IgAN by virtue of its role in class-switching to IgA production. VIS649, a humanized immunoglobulin G (IgG2) monoclonal antibody that binds to and blocks the biological actions of APRIL, is in clinical development as a potential treatment for IgAN. The primary objective of this first-in-human study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VIS649 in healthy volunteers. Secondary objectives included characterization of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of VIS649. Method This was a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study of VIS649 in healthy adult male and female volunteers (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03719443). The study was conducted in sequential dosing cohorts. The first four cohorts (0.5, 2.0, 6.0, and 12.0 mg/kg, respectively) each enrolled 9 participants (4 of Japanese descent and 5 of non-Japanese descent) who were randomized to VIS649 or placebo in a ratio of 7:2. In addition, a fifth cohort enrolled 15 adults randomized to receive VIS649 6.0 mg/kg or placebo (10:5), followed by tetanus/diphtheria vaccine challenge after 28 days (TENIVAC®, Sanofi Pasteur Limited; the effect of APRIL inhibition on vaccine response is described in a companion abstract). Participants received intravenous administration of study drug on Day 1, were discharged from the institution on Day 2, and were followed for 16–24 weeks on an outpatient basis. Standard safety assessments and blood sampling for PK and PD were performed at regular intervals. Results 51 participants were randomized and dosed with study drug, of whom 47 (92.2%) completed the study. VIS649 was well tolerated, with no serious adverse events (AEs) or AEs that led to study discontinuation. Most treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were mild; the incidence and severity of TEAEs were not dose dependent. One participant in the 2.0 mg/kg group experienced a severe TEAE of syncope following phlebotomy that the investigator considered unlikely to be related to study drug. There was no clinically relevant effect of treatment on laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram parameters, or physical examinations. VIS649 had non-linear PK: half-life (t½) increased with dose, while drug exposure (AUC) increased in a greater than dose proportional manner. Serum IgA, Gd-IgA1, IgG, and IgM were reversibly suppressed in a dose-dependent manner following VIS649 administration. The maximum mean percentage reductions from baseline occurred at Week 12 for the 12.0 mg/kg dose: IgA, -57.2% (Figure); Gd-IgA1, -71.6% (Figure); IgG, -33.6%; and IgM, -67.2%. These reductions were reversible and showed a dose-response effect with respect to time-to-recovery. Mean free (non-VIS649 bound) serum APRIL levels decreased to the lower limit of quantification (50 pg/mL) for all VIS649 doses at Week 1, and also showed a dose-response effect with respect to time-to-recovery. No depletions in circulating lymphocyte populations were observed. There were no significant PK or PD differences between Japanese and non-Japanese participants. Conclusion A single dose of VIS649, up to 12.0 mg/kg, was safe and well tolerated in healthy adults and was able to suppress free serum APRIL to the lower level of quantification. Serum Gd-IgA1 decreased in parallel with total serum IgA and recovered in a dose-dependent manner following reappearance of free APRIL in serum. These data support the further clinical development of VIS649 as a potential treatment for IgAN.

ABSTRACT Staphylococcal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. A human chimeric monoclonal antibody, pagibaximab, was developed against staphylococcal lipoteichoic acid. We evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of pagibaximab in VLBW neonates. A phase 1/2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study was conducted in VLBW infants (700 to 1,300 g) 3 to 7 days old. Patients received two doses 14 days apart of intravenous pagibaximab (10, 30, 60, or 90 mg/kg of body weight) or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. Blood and urine samples were obtained pre- and postinfusion for analysis of safety and pharmacokinetics, and data on adverse events were gathered. Staphylococcal organisms causing sepsis were collected and evaluated. Fifty-three patients received at least one dose of pagibaximab or placebo. The average gestational age was 27.6 weeks; the average birth weight was 1,003 g. All serious adverse events were deemed unrelated or probably not drug related. Morbidity and mortality were similar across treatment groups. No evidence of immunogenicity of pagibaximab was detected. Pagibaximab pharmacokinetics was linear. The mean clearance (CL), volume of distribution, and elimination half-life of pagibaximab were independent of dose. The serum half-life was 20.5 ± 6.8 days. Pagibaximab enhanced serum opsonophagocytic activity. All staphylococci causing sepsis were opsonizable by pagibaximab. Two infusions of pagibaximab, administered 2 weeks apart to high-risk neonates appeared safe and tolerable, and pharmacokinetics were linear. Evaluation of more frequent doses, at the highest doses tested, in neonates at high-risk of staphylococcal sepsis, is warranted.
