V-7404, a direct-acting enterovirus (EV) 3C protease inhibitor, is being developed as a treatment option for serious EV infections, including infections in immunodeficient people excreting vaccine-derived polioviruses. V-7404 may be combined with pocapavir (V-073), a capsid inhibitor, to treat these infections. A Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD; N=36) and multiple ascending doses (MAD; N=40) study was conducted to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of V-7404 in healthy adult volunteers following oral doses starting at 200 mg and escalating to 2000 mg once daily (QD) and 2000 mg twice daily (BID). Adverse events (AEs), vital signs, electrocardiographic findings, physical examinations, clinical laboratory values, and PK of blood samples were assessed. No notable differences in demographic and baseline characteristics were observed across the dose cohorts. A total of 35/36 participants (97.2%) completed the SAD study (1 withdrew in placebo group), and 37/41 participants (90.2%) completed the MAD study (1 withdrew from the 2000 mg QD and 3 withdrew from the 2000 mg BID cohorts). No serious AEs or deaths were reported. Treatment-emergent AEs were mild or moderate in severity. Oral doses of V-7404 in all cohorts were readily absorbed and showed no significant accumulation. PK exposure increased in an approximately dose proportional manner and appeared to be independent of time. Overall, V-7404 was well-tolerated and exhibited an acceptable safety and PK profile, supporting further clinical investigation of V-7404 for the treatment of serious EV infections.

ABSTRACT The aim of this single-center, phase 1, randomized, 5 by 5 crossover, open-label study was to determine the effects of varying amounts of a nutritional supplement (Boost Plus) on the pharmacokinetics of posaconazole in 30 healthy volunteers. After an overnight fast, subjects were administered a single dose of 400 mg posaconazole oral suspension alone or following Boost Plus (8 fluid ounces [oz] [240 ml], 4 oz [120 ml], 2 oz [60 ml], or 1 oz [30 ml]). Subjects were randomized to receive all five treatments in different sequences, with a 14-day washout between treatments. Primary pharmacokinetic variables—area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the final quantifiable sample (AUCtf), maximum observed plasma concentration (C max), time to C max (T max), and relative bioavailability—were assessed up to 5 days postdose. Safety assessments included testing for adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, measurement of vital signs, physical examinations, and electrocardiograms. Posaconazole bioavailability increased almost linearly with increasing amounts of Boost Plus. Based on log-transformed data, the relative bioavailabilities (AUCs) of posaconazole were 35% (fasting), 48% (1 oz), 60% (2 oz), and 77% (4 oz) of the level reached in the presence of 8 oz Boost Plus, whereas T max was unaffected. Compared with the levels reached under fasting conditions, posaconazole C max and AUC values increased 3.5- and 2.9-fold, respectively, when given with 8 oz Boost Plus. Single doses of posaconazole at 400 mg alone and with 1, 2, 4, or 8 oz Boost Plus were safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects.

Abstract Background TP-6076 is a novel, fully synthetic tetracycline being developed for the treatment of serious bacterial infections, including those caused by multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. TP-6076 has demonstrated potent activity in vitro against carbapenem-resistant strains of A. baumannii, with MIC90 64 times lower compared with tigecycline and 256 times lower compared with minocycline. We now report the results of a multiple ascending dose study in normal healthy volunteers. Methods This was a phase 1, single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-escalating, multiple dose study in healthy adults who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria and provided informed consent prior to any study procedure. Cohorts of eight subjects each (six active and two placebo) received daily doses of 6.0 to 40.0 mg TP-6076 or placebo for 7 days. Plasma and urine samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses were collected starting immediately prior to dosing until 96 hours after the last dose. Safety was assessed through collection of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratories, vital signs, ECG, and physical examination data. Results The geometric mean derived PK parameters for TP-6076 were: There were no serious or severe AEs reported. The most frequently reported AEs were gastrointestinal events, including nausea and vomiting, and localized infusion site reactions. There were no clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory values, ECG parameters, or physical examination findings. Conclusion Following multiple IV doses of TP-6076, plasma exposure increased as dose increased. Multiple IV doses of TP-6076 were generally well tolerated, with higher gastrointestinal adverse event rates in the higher dose groups. Disclosures L.

Abstract Background LSVT-1701 is an anti-staphylococcal phage lysin being developed for treatment of MRSA infections in combination with SoC antibiotics. The safety and PK of single ascending doses of LSVT-1701 0.1 to 10 mg/kg in healthy adult volunteers were previously described (Jun, et.al, AAC 2017;61:e02629-16). We further evaluated the safety and PK of multiple ascending doses of LSVT-1701 in healthy adult subjects. Methods Study ITB-101-1b was a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study. 8 subjects were randomized 3:1 to active:placebo in each cohort. LSVT-1701 was administered as a 6 mg/kg single dose and twice daily (BID) doses of 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 mg/kg for 4 days (24h between Doses 1-2, 12h between Doses 2-6). Study drugs were administered as a 1-hour IV infusion. Serial serum samples were collected over 24 hours following the first and last doses for measurement of LSVT-1701 concentrations by a validated ELISA method. PK analysis of LSVT-1701 concentration-time data was done using noncompartmental methods. Safety was assessed by AEs, clinical labs, vital signs, and ECG. Results 30/32 (94%) subjects completed the study. No subjects withdrew due to AEs, and there were no severe AEs, no serious AEs, and no deaths. AEs were of mild (97%) to moderate (3%) intensity and were reported by all subjects in the LSVT-1701 6 mg/kg single dose group and 1-3 (17-50%) of subjects receiving 1.5 to 4.5 mg/kg BID or placebo. The most common AEs of headache, chills, rigors, and fever generally lasted for ≤2 days with or without acetaminophen treatment, and no clinically significant changes in blood pressure, heart rate, ECG, or clinical labs (other than transient increases in CRP) were observed. Infusion site reactions (erythema, pain, induration, warmth) were observed with BID administration of LSVT-1701, but not with the single 6 mg/kg dose or placebo. LSVT-1701 exposure increased greater than in proportion to dose and t1/2 was concentration-dependent, increasing with higher doses. No accumulation in LSVT-1701 exposure was observed. Summary of LSVT-1701 PK Parameters Summary of LSVT-1701 PK Parameters Conclusion The safety and PK profile of LSVT-1701 is favorable for evaluation in patients with S. aureus infections, including bacteremia and infective endocarditis, for which new treatments are needed.

ABSTRACT Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a serious complication of infection by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) is responsible for the renal toxicity that can follow intestinal infection and hemorrhagic colitis due to E. coli. A chimeric mouse-human antibody, designated cαStx2, that has neutralizing activity in a mouse model was produced and tested in healthy adult volunteers. In this phase I dose escalation study, cαStx2 was generally well tolerated. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that clearance was stable over the dose range of 1.0 to 10 mg/kg of body weight (0.249 ± 0.023 ml/kg/h) but was higher for the 0.1-mg/kg dose (0.540 ± 0.078 ml/kg/h), suggesting saturable elimination. A similar nonlinear trend was observed for the volume of distribution, where average values ranged from 0.064 ± 0.015 liter/kg for the 1.0- to 10-mg/kg doses and 0.043 ± 0.005 for the 0.01-mg/kg dose. The relatively small volume of distribution suggests that the antibody is limited to the vascular (plasma) compartment. The mean half-life was 165 ± 66 h, with lowest values observed for the 0.1-mg/kg dose (56.2 ± 9.7 h) and the highest values reported for the 10.0-mg/kg dose (206.4 ± 12.4 h). Future studies are needed to confirm the safety of this cαStx2, and innovative clinical trials will be required to measure its efficacy in preventing or treating HUS.

ABSTRACT Bedaquiline is a diarylquinoline that specifically inhibits mycobacterial ATP synthase. Bedaquiline has been used to effectively treat tuberculosis (TB) caused by drug-susceptible and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rifamycins are a cornerstone of combination drug regimens for the treatment of TB. This phase 1, open-label, randomized, controlled trial evaluated the effect of steady-state dosing of rifabutin or rifampin on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline given as a single dose. Thirty-three healthy subjects were enrolled to receive a 400-mg single oral dose of bedaquiline at two time points, on study days 1 and 29. Subjects were randomly assigned to once daily oral doses of rifabutin (300 mg/day, n = 17) or rifampin (600 mg/day, n = 16) during period 2 from days 20 to 41. Serial blood sampling for bedaquiline measurement occurred on days 1 and 29 through 336 h after bedaquiline administration. The day 29 bedaquiline pharmacokinetic parameter estimates were compared to the corresponding day 1 estimates for each rifamycin group. Steady-state rifampin reduced bedaquiline AUC0–336 approximately 45%, from 47.69 h·μg/ml in period 1 to 26.33 h·μg/ml in period 2. Bedaquiline apparent clearance accelerated 24% in rifampin-treated subjects from 6.59 liters/h in period 1 to 8.19 liters/h in period 2. Steady-state rifabutin resulted in little quantitative impact on bedaquiline exposure but was associated with grade 3 and 4 adverse events before and after the day 29 bedaquiline dose. Dosage adjustments may therefore be necessary to ensure that bedaquiline plasma concentrations reach therapeutic levels safely when combining bedaquiline and rifamycins in TB treatment regimens. (This single-site, randomized, open-label, prospective study in healthy adult volunteers was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov under registration no. NCT01341184.)
