Objective: Pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity between biosimilar candidate LRG201902 and European Union-sourced liraglutide reference product (Victoza®) was evaluated. Safety and immunogenicity were also assessed.Methods: This single-dose, randomized, open-label, 2-period crossover study (CTR20192342) was conducted in thirty-eight healthy adult male subjects. Volunteers were randomized 1:1 at the beginning to receive a single 0.6 mg dose of Victoza® or LRG201902 by subcutaneous injection during the first period. Following 8 days washout period, all subjects received the alternate formulation during the second period. Blood samples were collected up to 72 h after administration. The primary pharmacokinetic endpoints were AUC0–t, AUC0–∞, and Cmax. Pharmacokinetic similarity was achieved if 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of AUC0-t, AUC0–∞, and Cmax were within the range of 80–125%. Other pharmacokinetic parameters including Tmax, t½, and λz were also measured. Safety profile and immunogenicity data were collected from each subject.Results: Cmax, AUC0–t, and AUC0–∞ were similar between the two groups. GMRs of Cmax, AUC0–t, and AUC0–∞ were 113.50%, 107.21%, and 106.97% between LRG201902 and Victoza® respectively. The 90% CIs for the GMRs of Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0–∞ were all within the PK equivalence criteria. Mean serum concentration-time profiles, secondary pharmacokinetic parameters (Tmax, t½, and λz) were comparable between groups. Treatment-related adverse events were reported by 27.8% and 23.7% subjects in the LRG201902 and Victoza® arms, respectively. All post-dose samples were detected negative for anti-drug antibodies.Conclusion: This study demonstrates pharmacokinetic similarity of LRG201902 to Victoza® in healthy subjects. The safety and immunogenicity profiles were similar for the two products.

AbstractIbuprofen is a widely used and well-tolerated analgesic and antipyretic. It is desirable to have a formulation with a rapid rate of absorption because it is required for rapid pain relief and temperature reduction. Previous studies have described the pharmacokinetic profiles of ibuprofen suppository and the mean peak times of ibuprofen suppository were around 1.8 hours, indicating a slower rate of absorption. The aim of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of rectal administration of ibuprofen between enema and suppository form in order to provide evidence for the faster absorption rates of ibuprofen enema. This study was a phase-1 clinical study, open-label, randomized and two-way crossover with one-week washout period comparing the absorption profile of equal dose of ibuprofen administered rectally in two treatment phases: ibuprofen suppository and enema. Blood samples were collected post dose for pharmacokinetic analyses. Tmax was analyzed using a Wilcoxon matched paired test. A standard ANOVA model, appropriate for bioequivalence studies was used and ratios of 90% confidence intervals were calculated. This study showed that Tmax for ibuprofen enema was less than half that of ibuprofen suppository (median 40 min vs. 90 min, respectively; p-value=0.0003). Cmax and AUC0–12 for ibuprofen enema were bioequivalent to ibuprofen suppository, as the ratio of test/reference=104.52%, 90% CI 93.41–116.95% and the ratio of test/reference=98.12%, 90%CI 93.34–103.16%, respectively, which fell within 80–125% bioequivalence limit. The overall extent of absorption was similar to the both, which were all well tolerated. In terms of Tmax, Ibuprofen enema was absorbed twice as quickly as from ibuprofen suppository. Therefore it is expected that an ibuprofen enema may provide faster onset of analgesic and antipyretic benefit.

Abstract BACKGROUND Mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (mIDH) enzymes produce the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Ivosidenib (IVO; AG-120) is a first-in-class oral inhibitor of mIDH1 being evaluated in 66 glioma patients (pts) in an ongoing phase 1 study (NCT02073994). Vorasidenib (VOR; AG-881) is an oral, potent, brain-penetrant inhibitor of mIDH1/2 being evaluated in 52 glioma pts in an ongoing phase 1 study (NCT02481154). In an orthotopic glioma model, IVO and VOR reduced 2-HG levels by 85% and 98%, respectively, despite different brain:plasma ratios (<0.04 vs 1.33). MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, perioperative study (NCT03343197). Pts with recurrent, nonenhancing WHO 2016 Grade (Gr) 2 or 3 mIDH1-R132H oligodendroglioma or astrocytoma undergoing craniotomy were randomized 2:2:1 to IVO 500 mg QD, VOR 50 mg QD, or no treatment (control) for 4 wk preoperatively in Cohort 1. Postoperatively, pts continued to receive IVO or VOR, and control pts were randomized 1:1 to IVO or VOR. Tumors were assessed for mIDH1 status, cellularity, 2-HG, and drug concentration. Treated samples were compared with control pts and mIDH1 and wild type (WT) banked reference (ref) samples. Plasma and CSF 2-HG were assessed. Primary endpoint: brain tumor 2-HG concentration with IVO or VOR treatment. Pts with nonevaluable tissue were replaced. RESULTS As of 29 Nov 2018, 26 pts (17 men, 9 women; 25 Gr 2, 1 Gr 3) were randomized preoperatively (IVO 10, VOR 11, control 5) and 25 received drug (IVO 12, VOR 13). At the data cut, 19 tumors were analyzed, with 16 evaluable. Treatment-emergent adverse events in >10% of patients (all Gr 1 or 2) were diarrhea (36%); hypocalcemia and constipation (each 20%); anemia, hyperglycemia, pruritus, headache, and nausea (each 16%); and hypokalemia and fatigue (each 12%). Mean brain:plasma ratio was 0.16 for IVO and 2.4 for VOR. Geometric mean (range) tumor 2-HG levels (μg/mL) were: IVO (n=6), 10 (2.2-104); VOR (n=6), 6.8 (3.9-10); control mIDH1 (n=65 [4 pts, 61 ref]), 141 (4.8-909); and WT ref (n=15), 2.7 (0.46-12). Mean changes (95% CI) in 2-HG level vs control were IVO -93% (74%, 98%) and VOR -95% (82%, 99%). Updated data from Cohort 1 will be presented. CONCLUSION In Cohort 1 of this phase 1 perioperative study, IVO and VOR were CNS penetrant and lowered tumor 2-HG levels compared with untreated samples. Cohort 2 is open and will evaluate IVO 250 mg BID and VOR 10 mg QD. FUNDING Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

e13022 Background: H3B-6545 is a selective, orally available, small molecule antagonist of the estrogen receptor (ER), covalently binding to a cysteine residue at position 530 of both wild-type and the constitutively active mutant ERα proteins. H3B-6545 demonstrated preliminary clinical antitumor activity in breasts cancer patients in phase 1b/2. Methods: This was an open-label phase 1 study to evaluate the relative bioavailability of H3B-6545 from a tablet formulation compared to capsules, and the effect of pantoprazole on the pharmacokinetics of H3B-6545, in healthy post-menopausal women. Subjects were randomized (1:1 ratio) to a combined crossover and fixed sequence 3 periods treatment: A single oral dose (SOD) of 450 mg H3B-6545 fasted on day 1 (capsules or tablets), followed by a 4-day washout; A SOD of 450 mg H3B-6545 fasted on day 5 (crossover formulation from the first period), followed by a 4-day washout; daily oral doses of 40 mg pantoprazole on days 9 to 15 with coadministration of a SOD of 450 mg H3B-6545 (tablets) on day 15. Results: A total of 16 subjects were enrolled and received at least one dose of H3B-6545 and 15 subjects completed all 3 periods. One subject assigned to the tablet/capsule treatment sequence withdrew from the study due to subject decision on day 13 (Period 3), following completion of Period 1 (H3B-6545 tablet) and Period 2 (H3B-6545 capsule). Following a SOD of H3B-6545 capsules alone, tablets alone, or tablets at steady-state QD of pantoprazole, H3B-6545 geometric mean Cmax was about 1070, 1120 and 1330 ng/mL, respectively, AUC was about 16600, 17500 and 18300 ng.h/mL, respectively, half-life was about 11.0, 11.0 and 10.2 hours, respectively, and the median Tmax was about 3.0, 4.0, and 2.0 hours post dose, respectively. The ratio (capsule/tablet) of Cmax and AUC was both about 0.95; steady-state pantoprazole QD increased H3B-6545 Cmax by 20% with no change in AUC. Nine subjects (56.3%) reported at least 1 TEAE during the study with constipation being the most common (43.8%); all TEAEs were mild in severity. There were no SAEs reported. Conclusions: Plasma PK of H3B-6545 is similar between tablets and capsules, and in the absence or presence of pantoprazole. Concurrent use of gastric acid reducers had a minimal effect on H3B-6545 exposure and was not considered clinically meaningful.

Background: Adherence to subcutaneous biologic agents for the treatment of psoriasis can be negatively influenced by injection pain.Objective: To explore the differences in injection site pain when patients are pre-treated with heat or cold, versus no pre-treatment prior to administration of a subcutaneous biologic agent.Methods: In an observational cohort study, patients receiving subcutaneous injections of ustekinumab were randomly assigned to receive pretreatment with ice, heat, or no intervention over three visits. Post-dose, patients rated pain on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS).Results: There was an increase in the VAS score for both heat (2.51, P=0.30) and ice (3.33, P=0.16), compared to no intervention. No differences were found between the two intervention groups (-0.83, P=0.73). On average, females had the same VAS scores with ice compared to that of no intervention (-0.12, P=0.97) and a non–significant decrease of 3.29 points (P=0.38) with heat. Males had increased pain scores by 5.65 points (P=0.07) with ice and by 6.39 points (P=0.04) with heat.Limitations: Pain is a subjective measurement and objective quantification is difficult.Conclusions: On average, neither heat nor cold application reliably reduced pain. Our results do not support the application of heat or cold prior to ustekinumab injection.

Abstract Purpose This study aimed at evaluating the effect of rucaparib on the pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin and oral contraceptives in patients with advanced solid tumors and the safety of rucaparib with and without coadministration of rosuvastatin or oral contraceptives. Methods Patients received single doses of oral rosuvastatin 20 mg (Arm A) or oral contraceptives ethinylestradiol 30 µg + levonorgestrel 150 µg (Arm B) on days 1 and 19 and continuous doses of rucaparib 600 mg BID from day 5 to 23. Serial blood samples were collected with and without rucaparib for pharmacokinetic analysis. Results Thirty-six patients (n = 18 each arm) were enrolled and received at least 1 dose of study drug. In the drug–drug interaction analysis (n = 15 each arm), the geometric mean ratio (GMR) of maximum concentration (Cmax) with and without rucaparib was 1.29 for rosuvastatin, 1.09 for ethinylestradiol, and 1.19 for levonorgestrel. GMR of area under the concentration–time curve from time zero to last quantifiable measurement (AUC0–last) was 1.34 for rosuvastatin, 1.43 for ethinylestradiol, and 1.56 for levonorgestrel. There was no increase in frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) when rucaparib was given with either of the probe drugs. In both arms, most TEAEs were mild in severity and considered unrelated to study treatment. Conclusion Rucaparib 600 mg BID weakly increased the plasma exposure to rosuvastatin or oral contraceptives. Rucaparib safety profile when coadministered with rosuvastatin or oral contraceptives was consistent with that of rucaparib monotherapy. Dose adjustments of rosuvastatin and oral contraceptives are not necessary when coadministered with rucaparib. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03954366; Date of registration May 17, 2019.

ABSTRACTChloroquine combined with primaquine has been the standard radical curative regimen forPlasmodium vivaxandPlasmodium ovalemalaria for over half a century. In an open-label crossover pharmacokinetic study, 16 healthy volunteers (4 males and 12 females) aged 20 to 47 years were randomized into two groups of three sequential hospital admissions to receive a single oral dose of 30 mg (base) primaquine, 600 mg (base) chloroquine, and the two drugs together. The coadministration of the two drugs did not affect chloroquine or desethylchloroquine pharmacokinetics but increased plasma primaquine concentrations significantly (P≤ 0.005); the geometric mean (90% confidence interval [CI]) increases were 63% (47 to 81%) in maximum concentration and 24% (13 to 35%) in total exposure. There were also corresponding increases in plasma carboxyprimaquine concentrations (P≤ 0.020). There were no significant electrocardiographic changes following primaquine administration, but there was slight corrected QT (QTc) (Fridericia) interval lengthening following chloroquine administration (median [range] = 6.32 [−1.45 to 12.3] ms;P< 0.001), which was not affected by the addition of primaquine (5.58 [1.74 to 11.4] ms;P= 0.642). This pharmacokinetic interaction may explain previous observations of synergy in preventingP. vivaxrelapse. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under reference number NCT01218932.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this open-label, fixed-sequence study was to investigate the potential ofEchinacea purpurea, a commonly used botanical supplement, to interact with the boosted protease inhibitor darunavir-ritonavir. Fifteen HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy including darunavir-ritonavir (600/100 mg twice daily) for at least 4 weeks were included.E. purpurearoot extract capsules were added to the antiretroviral treatment (500 mg every 6 h) from days 1 to 14. Darunavir concentrations in plasma were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography immediately before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 h after a morning dose of darunavir-ritonavir on days 0 (darunavir-ritonavir) and 14 (darunavir-ritonavir plus echinacea). Individual darunavir pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by noncompartmental analysis and compared between days 0 and 14 with the geometric mean ratio (GMR) and its 90% confidence interval (CI). The median age was 49 (range, 43 to 67) years, and the body mass index was 24.2 (range, 18.7 to 27.5) kg/m2. Echinacea was well tolerated, and all participants completed the study. The GMR for darunavir coadministered with echinacea relative to that for darunavir alone was 0.84 (90% CI, 0.63-1.12) for the concentration at the end of the dosing interval, 0.90 (90% CI, 0.74-1.10) for the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 12 h, and 0.98 (90% CI, 0.82-1.16) for the maximum concentration. In summary, coadministration ofE. purpureawith darunavir-ritonavir was safe and well tolerated. Individual patients did show a decrease in darunavir concentrations, although this did not affect the overall darunavir or ritonavir pharmacokinetics. Although no dose adjustment is required, monitoring darunavir concentrations on an individual basis may give reassurance in this setting.

Abstract Background Fostemsavir (FTR) is a prodrug of temsavir (TMR), a first-in-class attachment inhibitor that binds directly to HIV-1 gp120, preventing initial viral attachment and entry into host CD4+ T cells. TMR is primarily metabolized via hydrolytic and oxidative pathways; impaired hepatic function may alter TMR pharmacokinetics (PK). Methods AI438053 (NCT02467335) was an open-label, nonrandomized study in healthy subjects (HS) and subjects with hepatic impairment (HI), defined by Child-Pugh (CP) score: mild (CPA), moderate (CPB), or severe (CPC). HS were matched for age, body weight, and sex. Subjects received a single oral dose of FTR 600 mg fasted and serial PK samples for TMR were collected up to 96 hours post-dose. Unbound TMR at 1 and 3 hours post-dose was determined. Total and unbound PK parameters were derived by noncompartmental methods. Geometric mean ratios (GMR) and 90% confidence intervals (CI) for HI vs.. HS were derived using linear mixed-effects models. Subjects were monitored for adverse events (AEs). Results 18 subjects with HI (N = 6/CP group) and 12 HS received FTR and completed the study. Total and unbound TMR exposures increased with increasing HI severity (see Table). Total and unbound TMR CLT/F decreased with increasing HI severity. Mean % protein binding of TMR was 81.0% in HS and 79.9%, 81.9%, and 76.5% in CPA, CPB, and CPC HI, respectively, and was independent of TMR concentration. There were no deaths, serious AEs, or discontinuations during the treatment period. Conclusion TMR exposures increase with increasing severity of HI. The increase in TMR exposures in patients with mild or moderate HI is not expected to alter the safety profile of FTR. The risk/benefit of higher TMR exposures in severe HI is under evaluation.

ABSTRACT In this study, our objective was to determine the steady-state intrapulmonary concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters of orally administered linezolid in healthy volunteers. Linezolid (600 mg every 12 h for a total of five doses) was administered orally to 25 healthy adult male subjects. Each subgroup contained five subjects, who underwent bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) 4, 8, 12, 24, or 48 h after administration of the last dose. Blood was obtained for drug assay prior to administration of the first dose and fifth dose and at the completion of bronchoscopy and BAL. Standardized bronchoscopy was performed without systemic sedation. The volume of epithelial lining fluid (ELF) recovered was calculated by the urea dilution method, and the total number of alveolar cells (AC) was counted in a hemocytometer after cytocentrifugation. Linezolid was measured in plasma by a high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique and in BAL specimens and AC by a combined HPLC-mass spectrometry technique. Areas under the concentration-time curves (AUCs) for linezolid in plasma, ELF, and AC were derived by noncompartmental analysis. Half-lives for linezolid in plasma, ELF, and AC were calculated from the elimination rate constants derived from a monoexponential fit of the means of the observed concentrations at each time point. Concentrations (means ± standard deviations) in plasma, ELF, and AC, respectively, were 7.3 ± 4.9, 64.3 ± 33.1, and 2.2 ± 0.6 μg/ml at the 4-h BAL time point and 7.6 ± 1.7, 24.3 ± 13.3, and 1.4 ± 1.3 μg/ml at the 12-h BAL time point. Linezolid concentrations in plasma, ELF, and AC declined monoexponentially, with half-lives of 6.9, 7.0, and 5.7 h, respectively. For a MIC of 4, the 12-h plasma AUC/MIC and maximum concentration/MIC ratios were 34.6 and 3.9, respectively, and the percentage of time the drug remained above the MIC for the 12-h dosing interval was 100%; the corresponding ratios in ELF were 120 and 16.1, respectively, and the percentage of time the drug remained above the MIC was 100%. The long plasma and intrapulmonary linezolid half-lives and the percentage of time spent above the MIC of 100% of the dosing interval provide a pharmacokinetic rationale for drug administration every 12 h and indicate that linezolid is likely to be an effective agent for the treatment of pulmonary infections.

Abstract Background Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are well-suited for the prevention and treatment of acute bacterial infections. ASN100 is a combination of two fully human IgG1 mAbs, ASN-1 and ASN-2 that together neutralize six Staphylococcus aureus cytotoxins, alpha-hemolysin (Hla) and five leukocidins (HlgAB, HlgCB, LukED, LukSF [PVL] and LukGH) that are important in the pathogenesis of S. Aureus pneumonia. We aimed to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ASN100 in both serum and lung epithelial lining fluid (ELF) in male and female healthy volunteers. Methods The safety, tolerability, and serum and lung PK of single intravenous infusion of ASN100 was evaluated in a Phase 1 study. Eight subjects (3:1 randomization) in two double-blind cohorts received ASN100 (doses of 3600 mg or 8000 mg) or placebo. ASN-1 and ASN-2 were administered in a fixed dose 1:1 ratio. Twelve subjects received ASN100 open-label at doses of 3600 mg or 8000 mg and each underwent two bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collections either on days 1 and 30 or on days 2 and 8 post-dosing. ASN-1 and ASN-2 concentrations were determined by ELISA. The ELF concentrations were normalized based on urea concentrations in serum and BAL fluid. Results No dose limiting toxicity was observed. Adverse events (AEs) showed no association of increased incidence with higher dose. All AEs were mild or moderate in severity, with 83.3% of subjects receiving ASN100 reporting at least one AE vs. 100% of placebo subjects. A dose proportional increase in serum peak and exposure (AUC) of ASN-1 and ASN-2 was observed and the serum PK of ASN-1 and ASN-2 were comparable (approximate half-life of each antibody was 3 weeks). Penetration of ASN-1 and ASN-2 into the ELF of the lung was observed at the first post-dose time point of 24 hours, peak concentrations were observed after day 2 and the mAbs remained detectable at day 30. Conclusion ASN100 was safe and well tolerated at doses up to 8000 mg (4000 mg ASN-1 and 4000 mg ASN-2). The PK profiles of ASN-1 and ASN-2 were comparable following simultaneous administration. Significant lung concentrations of each mAb were demonstrated between day 1 and 30 post-dosing. These data support continued clinical development of ASN100 for the prevention and treatment of S. Aureus pneumonia. Disclosures Z. Magyarics, Arsanis Biosciences GmbH: Employee, Salary. Arsanis, Inc.: Shareholder, Share options. F. Leslie, Arsanis., Inc.: Employee and Shareholder, Salary. S.
