Trazpiroben is a dopamine D2/D3 receptor antagonist under development for the treatment of gastroparesis. This phase I, open‐label, randomized, two‐way crossover study () evaluated the effect of single‐dose intravenous rifampin, a potent inhibitor of the organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs) 1B1 and 1B3, on the pharmacokinetics and safety of trazpiroben in healthy adults. The utility of coproporphyrin (CP) I and CPIII as biomarkers of OATP inhibition was also assessed. Overall, 12 participants were enrolled and randomized (1:1) into one of two treatment sequences (AB and BA). Participants received either a single oral dose of trazpiroben 25 mg (treatment A) or a single oral dose of trazpiroben 25 mg immediately after a single 30‐min intravenous infusion of rifampin 600 mg (treatment B). After a washout period of at least 7 days, participants received the other treatment. Geometric mean area under the curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC∞) and maximum serum concentration (C max) of plasma trazpiroben were higher in participants receiving treatment B than those receiving treatment A (AUC∞, 168.5 vs. 32.68 ng*h/ml; C max, 89.62 vs. 14.37 ng/ml); corresponding geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval) showed 5.16 (4.25–6.25) and 6.24 (4.62–8.42)‐fold increases in these parameters, respectively. In this study, trazpiroben was confirmed as a substrate of OATP1B1/1B3, and therefore co‐administration of trazpiroben with moderate to strong inhibitors of OATP1B1/1B3 is not recommended. This is also the first assessment of the utility of CPI and CPIII as endogenous biomarkers of OATP1B1/1B3 inhibition after a single intravenous dose of rifampin. Study Highlights NCT04121078

Tirabrutinib (TIRA), a potent and nonreversible oral Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is evaluated for treatment of certain hematological malignancies and inflammatory diseases. A drug–drug interaction study to evaluate the effect of TIRA on the pharmacokinetics of the oral contraceptive levonorgestrel (LEVO)/ethinyl estradiol (EE) was conducted in healthy female participants (N = 26). Participants received a single dose of LEVO (150 mcg)/EE (30 mcg) alone (reference), and on day 12 of a 15‐day regimen of TIRA 160 mg once‐daily (test). Intensive blood sampling for determination of LEVO, EE, and TIRA plasma concentrations was conducted, and safety was assessed throughout the study. Pharmacokinetic interactions were evaluated using 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the geometric least squares mean (GLSM) ratios of the test versus reference treatments. The GLSM (90% CI) ratios of area under the concentration‐time curve from zero to infinity (AUCinf; LEVO: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.88–1.03, EE: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.05–1.16) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; LEVO: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.74–0.98, EE: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.98–1.18) were within the prespecified 0.70 to 1.43 no effect bounds; and the AUC ratios met the stricter 0.80 to 1.25 equivalence bounds. Study treatments were generally well‐tolerated. In conclusion, co‐administration with TIRA did not alter the exposure of LEVO/EE, and accordingly LEVO/EE containing oral contraceptives can serve as a contraception method for participants on TIRA 160 mg (or lower) daily doses.

Nezulcitinib (TD‐0903), a lung‐selective pan–Janus‐associated kinase (JAK) inhibitor designed for inhaled delivery, is under development for treatment of acute lung injury associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). This two‐part, double‐blind, randomized, placebo‐controlled, single ascending dose (part A) and multiple ascending dose (part B) phase I study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of nezulcitinib in healthy participants. Part A included three cohorts randomized 6:2 to receive a single inhaled dose of nezulcitinib (1, 3, or 10 mg) or matching placebo. Part B included three cohorts randomized 8:2 to receive inhaled nezulcitinib (1, 3, or 10 mg) or matching placebo for 7 days. The primary outcome was nezulcitinib safety and tolerability assessed from treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs). The secondary outcome was nezulcitinib PK. All participants completed the study. All TEAEs were mild or moderate in severity, and none led to treatment discontinuation. Overall (area under the plasma concentration‐time curve) and peak (maximal plasma concentration) plasma exposures of nezulcitinib were low and increased in a dose‐proportional manner from 1 to 10 mg in both parts, with no suggestion of clinically meaningful drug accumulation. Maximal plasma exposures were below levels expected to result in systemic target engagement, consistent with a lung‐selective profile. No reductions in natural killer cell counts were observed, consistent with the lack of a systemic pharmacological effect and the observed PK. In summary, single and multiple doses of inhaled nezulcitinib at 1, 3, and 10 mg were well‐tolerated in healthy participants, with dose‐proportional PK supporting once‐daily administration.

Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a novel cardiac myosin activator in development for the treatment of heart failure. In vitro, OM is an inhibitor of BCRP. Rosuvastatin, a BCRP substrate, is one of the most commonly prescribed medications in patients with heart failure. The potential for a pharmacokinetic (PK) drug‐drug interaction (DDI) was investigated, specifically to determine whether a single 50 mg dose of OM would impact the PKs of a single 10 mg dose of rosuvastatin in an open‐label study in 14 healthy subjects. The ratios of the geometric least‐square means (90% confidence intervals [CIs]) of rosuvastatin co‐administered with OM compared to rosuvastatin alone were 127.1% (90% CI 113.8–141.9), 132.8% (90% CI 120.7–146.1), and 154.2% (90% CI 132.8–179.1) for area under the plasma‐concentration time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf), area under the plasma‐concentration time curve from time zero to time of last quantifiable concentration (AUClast), and maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), respectively. Whereas the DDI study with rosuvastatin was conducted with the co‐administration of a single dose of OM, in the clinical setting, patients receive OM at doses of 25, 37.5, or 50 mg twice daily (b.i.d.). Hence, to extrapolate the results of the DDI study to a clinically relevant scenario of continuous b.i.d. dosing with OM, physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling was performed to explore the potential of BCRP inhibition following continuous b.i.d. dosing of OM at the highest 50 mg dose. Modeling results indicated that following 50 mg b.i.d. dosing of OM, the predicted ratios of the geometric means (90% CIs) for rosuvastatin AUCinf and Cmax were 1.18 (90% CI 1.16–1.20) and 2.04 (90% CI 1.99–2.10), respectively. Therefore, these results suggest that OM, following multiple dose administration, is a weak inhibitor of BCRP substrates and is in accordance with that observed in the single dose OM DDI clinical study.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of cenobamate, an antiseizure medication for focal seizures, on the pharmacokinetics of cytochrome P450 probes (bupropion, CYP2B6; midazolam, CYP3A4/5; warfarin, CYP2C9; and omeprazole, CYP2C19) in healthy subjects. Probes were administered alone on days 1 (bupropion) and 7 (midazolam/warfarin/omeprazole), and with cenobamate 100 mg/day on day 69 (midazolam) and cenobamate 200 mg/day on days 99 (bupropion) and 105 (midazolam/warfarin/omeprazole). No significant interaction was concluded if 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for geometric mean ratios (GMRs) for area under the curve (AUC) and maximum concentration of CYP substrates and/or their metabolites were within the no‐effect interval (0.80–1.25). When co‐administered with cenobamate 100 mg/day, AUC from time of administration up to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC0–last) GMR (90% CIs) for midazolam was 0.734 (0.647–0.832). When co‐administered with cenobamate 200 mg/day, AUC0–last GMRs (90% CI) for midazolam, bupropion, S‐warfarin, and omeprazole were 0.277 (0.238–0.323), 0.615 (0.522–0.724), 1.14 (1.10–1.18), and 2.07 (1.44–2.98), respectively. Co‐administration of cenobamate with midazolam and bupropion probes led to values that were outside and below the no effect boundary, indicating that cenobamate induces the CYP3A4/5 and CYP2B6 enzymes. Co‐administration of cenobamate led to omeprazole values which were outside and above the no‐effect boundary, but with high variability, suggesting that cenobamate may moderately inhibit CYP2C19 activity. No effect on CYP2C9 was observed with the cenobamate and warfarin combination. Co‐administration of cenobamate with these probes drugs was well‐tolerated. In this study, 200 mg/day cenobamate moderately induced CYP3A4/5 (dose‐dependently; 100 mg/day was a weak inducer), was a weak inducer of CYP2B6, moderately inhibited CYP2C19, and had a negligible effect on CYP2C9.

Drug‐drug interaction (DDI) is an important consideration for clinical decision making in prostate cancer treatment. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of enzalutamide, an oral androgen receptor inhibitor, on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of digoxin (P‐glycoprotein [P‐gp] probe substrate) and rosuvastatin (breast cancer resistance protein [BCRP] probe substrate) in men with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This was a phase I, open‐label, fixed‐sequence, crossover study (). Eligible men with mCRPC received a single dose of transporter probe cocktail containing 0.25 mg digoxin and 10 mg rosuvastatin plus enzalutamide placebo‐to‐match on day 1. On day 8, patients started 160 mg enzalutamide once daily through day 71. On day 64, patients also received a single dose of the cocktail. The primary end points were digoxin and rosuvastatin plasma maximum concentration (Cmax), area under the concentration‐time curve from the time of dosing to the last measurable concentration (AUClast), and AUC from the time of dosing extrapolated to time infinity (AUCinf). Secondary end points were enzalutamide and N‐desmethyl enzalutamide (metabolite) plasma Cmax, AUC during a dosing interval, where tau is the length of the dosing interval (AUCtau), and concentration immediately prior to dosing at multiple dosing (Ctrough). When administered with enzalutamide, there was a 17% increase in Cmax, 29% increase in AUClast, and 33% increase in AUCinf of plasma digoxin compared to digoxin alone, indicating that enzalutamide is a “mild” inhibitor of P‐gp. No PK interaction was observed between enzalutamide and rosuvastatin (BCRP probe substrate). The PK of enzalutamide and N‐desmethyl enzalutamide were in agreement with previously reported data. The potential for transporter‐mediated DDI between enzalutamide and digoxin and rosuvastatin is low in men with prostate cancer. Therefore, concomitant administration of enzalutamide with medications that are substrates for P‐gp and BCRP does not require dose adjustment in this patient population. Study Highlights NCT04094519

Selumetinib is an oral, potent, and highly selective allosteric MEK1/2 inhibitor approved for the treatment of pediatric patients (aged ≥2 years) with neurofibromatosis type 1 who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas. A granule formulation of selumetinib is under development to improve dosing precision for younger pediatric patients who may be unable to swallow capsules. This phase I crossover study investigated the effect of food on the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of selumetinib capsule and granule formulations. Healthy male volunteers were randomized to receive selumetinib granules (25 mg) or capsules (50 mg [2 × 25 mg]) under fasted or fed conditions (a low‐fat meal). Plasma concentrations and PK parameters were determined less than or equal to 48 h postdose. Safety and tolerability were assessed. Across 24 volunteers, selumetinib was absorbed quickly, with a time to maximum concentration (Tmax) ranging from ~1–3 h. Geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval [CI]) for maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) in the fed versus fasted state were 0.61 (90% CI 0.51–0.72) and 0.40 (90% CI 0.33–0.48) for the granule and capsule formulations, respectively, whereas geometric mean ratios (90% CI) for area under the plasma drug concentration‐time curve in the fed versus fasted state were 0.97 (90% CI 0.91–1.02) and 0.62 (90% CI 0.55–0.70), respectively. Levels of less than 10% conversion to the N‐desmethyl selumetinib metabolite were observed. Selumetinib was well‐tolerated, with only a few adverse events of mild intensity reported. Selumetinib administration with a low‐fat meal resulted in lower Cmax and longer Tmax for both formulations versus fasted conditions. However, area under the curve for selumetinib granules was similar under fasted and fed conditions. Overall, these findings support further development of this formulation for pediatric patients.

Vericiguat was developed for the treatment of symptomatic chronic heart failure (HF) in adult patients with reduced ejection fraction who are stabilized after a recent decompensation event. Guidelines recommend long‐acting nitrates, such as isosorbide mononitrate, for angina prophylaxis in chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), common comorbidities in HF. This study evaluated safety, tolerability, and the pharmacodynamic (PD) interaction between co‐administered vericiguat and isosorbide mononitrate in patients with CCS. In this phase Ib, double‐blind, multicenter study, patients were randomized 2:1 to receive vericiguat plus isosorbide mononitrate (n = 28) or placebo plus isosorbide mononitrate (n = 13). Isosorbide mononitrate was uptitrated to a stable dose of 60 mg once daily, followed by co‐administration with vericiguat (uptitrated every 2 weeks from 2.5 mg to 5 mg and 10 mg) or placebo. Thirty‐five patients completed treatment (vericiguat, n = 23; placebo, n = 12). Mean baseline‐ and placebo‐adjusted vital signs showed reductions of 1.4–5.1 mmHg (systolic blood pressure) and 0.4–2.9 mmHg (diastolic blood pressure) and increases of 0.0–1.8 beats per minute (heart rate) with vericiguat plus isosorbide mononitrate. No consistent vericiguat dose‐dependent PD effects were noted. The incidence of adverse events (AEs) was 92.3% and 66.7% in the vericiguat and placebo groups, respectively, and most were mild in intensity. Blood pressure and heart rate changes observed with vericiguat plus isosorbide mononitrate were not considered clinically relevant. This combination was generally well‐tolerated. Concomitant use of vericiguat with isosorbide mononitrate is unlikely to cause significant AEs beyond those known for isosorbide mononitrate. Study Highlights

Asciminib is a first‐in‐class inhibitor of BCR::ABL1, specifically targeting the ABL myristoyl pocket. Asciminib is a substrate of CYP3A4 and P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp) and possesses pH‐dependent solubility in aqueous solution. This report summarizes the results of two phase I studies in healthy subjects aimed at assessing the impact of CYP3A and P‐gp inhibitors, CYP3A inducers and acid‐reducing agents (ARAs) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of asciminib (single dose of 40 mg). Asciminib exposure (area under the curve [AUC]) unexpectedly decreased by ~40% when administered concomitantly with the strong CYP3A inhibitor itraconazole oral solution, whereas maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) decreased by ~50%. However, asciminib exposure was slightly increased in subjects receiving an itraconazole capsule (~3%) or clarithromycin (~35%), another strong CYP3A inhibitor. Macroflux studies showed that cyclodextrin (present in high quantities as excipient [40‐fold excess to itraconazole] in the oral solution formulation of itraconazole) decreased asciminib flux through a lipid membrane by ~80%. The AUC of asciminib was marginally decreased by concomitant administration with the strong CYP3A inducer rifampicin (by ~13–15%) and the strong P‐gp inhibitor quinidine (by ~13–16%). Concomitant administration of the ARA rabeprazole had little or no effect on asciminib AUC, with a 9% decrease in Cmax. The treatments were generally well tolerated. Taking into account the large therapeutic window of asciminib, the observed changes in asciminib PK following multiple doses of P‐gp, CYP3A inhibitors, CYP3A inducers, or ARAs are not considered to be clinically meaningful. Care should be exercised when administering asciminib concomitantly with cyclodextrin‐containing drug formulations. Study Highlights

Peppermint oil (PMO) is effective in the treatment of functional abdominal pain disorders, but its mechanism of action is unclear. Evidence suggests PMO has microbicidal activity. We investigated the effect of three different doses of PMO on gut microbiome composition. Thirty children (7–12 years of age) with functional abdominal pain provided a baseline stool sample prior to randomization to 180, 360, or 540 mg of enteric coated PMO (10 participants per dose). They took their respective dose of PMO (180 mg once, 180 mg twice, or 180 mg thrice daily) for 1 week, after which the stool collection was repeated. Baseline and post‐PMO stools were analyzed for microbiome composition. There was no difference in alpha diversity of the gut microbiome between the baseline and post‐PMO treatment. Principal coordinate analysis revealed no significant difference in overall bacterial composition between baseline and post‐PMO samples, as well as between the PMO dose groups. However, the very low abundant Collinsella genus and three operational taxonomic units (one belonging to Collinsella) were significantly different in samples before and after PMO treatment. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio was lower in children who received 540 mg of PMO compared to the 180 mg and 360 mg dose groups (p = 0.04). Network analysis revealed separation between pre‐ and post‐PMO fecal samples with the genus Collinsella driving the post‐PMO clusters. PMO administration appeared to impact only low abundance bacteria. The 540 mg PMO dose differentially impacted the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. A higher dose and/or longer duration of treatment might yield different results. Study Highlights

The objectives of this phase I study are to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of RO7049389 in healthy Chinese volunteers (HVs) and evaluate potential ethnic differences in the safety and PKs using data from this study and the first‐in‐human study (in which most of the HVs were non‐Asian). HVs randomly received a single dose of 200–600 mg of RO7049389 or a placebo in a single ascending dose (n = 28) or multiple doses of 200–400 mg of RO7049389 or a placebo in multiple ascending doses (n = 24). Safety and tolerability were monitored throughout the study. Serial blood samples were collected for PK analysis. RO7049389 was safe and well‐tolerated in the HVs. The time to maximum concentration ranged from 1.5 to 3.0 h, and terminal half‐life ranged from 3.66 to 14.6 h. A single dose of 200–600 mg and multiple doses of 200–400 mg exhibited nonlinear PKs. In general, the safety profiles were comparable between non‐Asian and Asian HVs, but the plasma exposure of RO7049389 in Chinese HVs was higher than that in non‐Asian HVs. The data generated from this study will provide guidance for future clinical studies on RO7049389 in Chinese/Asian patients with hepatitis B virus. Study Highlights

Baicalein is a biologically important flavonoid in extracted from the Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, which can effectively inhibit the influenza virus. This study aimed to analyze the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of baicalein tablets in healthy Chinese subjects and provide more information for phase II clinical trials. In this multiple‐ascending‐dose placebo‐controlled trial, 36 healthy subjects were randomized to receive 200, 400, and 600 mg of baicalein tablet or placebo once daily on day 1 and day 10, 3 times daily on days 4–9. All groups were intended to produce safety and tolerability outcomes (lowest dose first). Blood and urine samples were collected from subjects in the 600 mg group for baicalein PK analysis. Our study had shown that Baicalein tablet was generally safe and well‐tolerated. All adverse events were mild and resolved without any intervention except one case of fever reported in the 600 mg group, which was considered as moderate but not related with baicalein as judged by the investigator. Oral baicalein tablets were rapidly absorbed with peak plasma levels being reached within 2 h after multiple administration. The highest urinary excretion of baicalein and its metabolites peaked in 2 h, followed by 12 h, with a double peak trend. Study Highlights

Factor XII (FXII) is the principal initiator of the plasma contact system and has proinflammatory and prothrombotic activities. This single‐center, first‐in‐human phase I study aimed to assess the safety and tolerability of single escalating doses of garadacimab, a monoclonal antibody that specifically inhibits activated FXII (FXIIa), in healthy male volunteers. Volunteers were randomized to eight cohorts, with intravenous (i.v.) doses of 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg and subcutaneous (s.c.) doses of 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg. Six volunteers in each cohort received garadacimab or placebo in a ratio of 2:1. Follow‐up for safety lasted 85 days after dosing. Blood samples were collected throughout for pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analysis. Forty‐eight volunteers were enrolled: 32 received garadacimab and 16 received placebo. Most volunteers experienced at least one treatment‐emergent adverse event (TEAE), predominantly grade 1. No serious TEAEs, deaths, or TEAEs leading to discontinuation were reported. No volunteers tested positive for garadacimab antidrug antibodies. Garadacimab plasma concentrations increased in a dose‐dependent manner. Sustained inhibition of FXIIa‐mediated kallikrein activity beyond day 28 resulted from 3 and 10 mg/kg garadacimab (i.v. and s.c.). A dose‐dependent increase in activated partial thromboplastin time with no change in prothrombin time was demonstrated. Garadacimab (single‐dose i.v. and s.c.) was well‐tolerated in healthy volunteers. Dose‐dependent increases in plasma concentration and pharmacodynamic effects in relevant kinin and coagulation pathways were observed. These results support the clinical development of garadacimab, including in phase II studies in hereditary angioedema and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Study Highlights

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome is a rare, potentially life‐threatening, delayed, drug‐induced hypersensitivity reaction. Immediate withdrawal of the culprit drug and administration of systemic corticosteroids is the most widely accepted treatment. However, it is difficult to manage patients with DRESS syndrome who are not responsive to systemic steroids. We studied the efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) in patients with DRESS syndrome unresponsive to systemic steroids. We retrospectively reviewed patients with DRESS syndrome who received IVIG in addition to systemic steroids during 2012–2017 and compared the clinical features and course of DRESS syndrome, before and after IVIG treatment. Eighteen DRESS patients (9 men) were included. The most frequent offending drugs were dapsone in five patients, followed by vancomycin in three patients, and carbamazepine in three patients. Rash, fever, lymphadenopathy, atypical lymphocytes, and hepatic involvement were common clinical findings. IVIG treatment was added within a median time of 7 days from the commencement of systemic steroid therapy. After IVIG treatment (total dosage: 1–2 g/kg), the fever resolved within a median time of 1 day (range, 0–3) and liver enzymes improved substantially within a median time of 13 days (range, 0–27). No severe adverse reactions related to IVIG therapy were observed in this study; however, there was one case of mortality. The addition of IVIG in DRESS syndrome in cases refractory to systemic steroid treatment may be helpful in hastening recovery. However, comparative studies using a placebo group are needed.

Plasma coproporphyrin‐I (CP‐I) concentration is used as a sensitive and selective endogenous probe for phenotyping organic anion transporting polypeptides 1B (OATP1B) activity in many studies. CP‐I is produced in the process of heme synthesis, but the relationship between plasma CP‐I concentrations and heme synthesis activity is unknown. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between plasma CP‐I concentration and hemoglobin level as a biomarker of heme synthesis activity. The data of 391 subjects selected from the Japanese general population were analyzed. One hundred twenty‐six participants had OATP1B1*15 allele, 11 of whom were homozygous (OATP1B1*15/*15). Multiple regression analysis identified hemoglobin level as an independent variable associated with plasma CP‐I concentration (p < 0.0001). A significant positive correlation was observed between hemoglobin level and plasma CP‐I concentration in participants without OATP1B1*15 allele (n = 265; r s = 0.35, p < 0.0001) and with OATP1B1*15 allele (n = 126; r s =0.27, p = 0.0022). However, Kruskal–Wallis test showed no large difference in Kruskal–Wallis statistics between the distribution of plasma CP‐I concentrations and that of ratio of plasma CP‐I to hemoglobin among six OATP1B1 polymorphism groups. These findings suggest that the hemoglobin level seems to reflect biosynthesis of CP‐I. However, correction by hemoglobin level is not required when using basal plasma CP‐I concentration for phenotyping OATP1B activity. Study Highlights

Reducing the peripheral absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) is a promising therapeutic approach in treating autoimmune diseases. LC51‐0255 is a sphingosine‐1‐phosphate 1 receptor modulator, which is known to decrease the peripheral ALC. We aimed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PKs), pharmacodynamics (PDs), safety, and tolerability profiles of LC51‐0255 after a single oral administration in healthy subjects. A randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, dose‐escalation study was conducted in 50 healthy subjects. Each subject orally received LC51‐0255 (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 mg) or its matching placebo in an 8:2 ratio. Blood and urine samples were collected to assess the PKs, and PDs was evaluated using peripheral ALC and 24‐h hourly heart rate data. Safety and tolerability were assessed by monitoring treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, 12‐lead electrocardiogram (ECG), continuous 24‐h ECG (via Holter monitoring), clinical laboratory tests, ophthalmologic tests, pulmonary function tests, and physical examinations. A single dose of LC51‐0255 reduced ALC and heart rate in a reversible and dose‐dependent manner. Systemic exposure of LC51‐0255 increased dose‐dependently and its half‐life ranged from 72.2 to 134.0 h. ALC and the systemic exposure of LC51‐0255 seemed to be negatively correlated. LC51‐0255 was well‐tolerated up to 2 mg, and the most common TEAE was bradycardia. The results of this study suggest that LC51‐0255 can be developed into a beneficial treatment option for autoimmune disease. Study Highlights

There are contrasting findings regarding the effect of HIV on the pharmacokinetics of first‐line anti‐tubercular drugs (FLATDs) due to a lack of prospective controlled clinical studies, including patients with tuberculosis (TB) and patients with TB living with HIV. This study aims to assess the effect of HIV coinfection and antiviral therapy on the plasma exposure to FLATDs in patients with TB. HIV negative (TB‐HIV− group; n = 15) and HIV positive (TB‐HIV+ group; n = 18) adult patients with TB were enrolled during the second month of FLATDs treatment. All TB‐HIV+ patients were on treatment with lamivudine, tenofovir (or zidovudine), and raltegravir (or efavirenz). Serial blood sampling was collected over 24 h and FLATDs pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated using noncompartmental methods. In the TB‐HIV+ patients, dose‐normalized plasma exposure area under the curve from zero to 24 h (nAUC0–24; geometric mean and 95% confidence interval [CI]) values at steady‐state to rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol were 18.38 (95% CI 13.74–24.59), 238.21 (95% CI 191.09–296.95), and 18.33 (95% CI 14.56–23.09) µg∙h/ml, respectively. Similar plasma exposure was found in the TB‐HIV− patients. The geometric mean and 90% CI of the ratios between TB‐HIV− and TB‐HIV+ groups suggest no significant pharmacokinetic interaction between the selected antivirals and FLATDs. Likewise, HIV coinfection itself does not appear to have any effect on the plasma exposure to FLATDs. Study Highlights

REGN1908‐1909, a 1:1 cocktail of two fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), REGN1908 and REGN1909, is being evaluated for treatment of cat allergy. Both REGN1908 and REGN1909 bind to the dominant cat allergen, Fel d 1. Adults with cat allergy confirmed by skin prick test (SPT) were randomized to single subcutaneous administration of placebo (n = 6) or REGN1908‐1909 at doses of 150 (n = 6), 300 (n = 6), or 600 mg (n = 6). Blood samples were taken at prespecified time points for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and exploratory evaluation of biomarkers (IgE and SPT). Safety was assessed. Drug concentration‐time profiles in serum for ascending doses of REGN1908‐1909 were consistent with linear PKs. Noncompartmental analysis showed that maximum concentration (Cmax) and exposure increased proportionately with dose, with similar time to maximum concentration (Tmax) for REGN1908 and REGN1909 (6.2 to 8.2 days across doses), and a longer terminal half‐life for REGN1908 (~ 30 days) relative to REGN1909 (~ 21 days). Adverse events were not dose dependent; there were no dose‐limiting toxicities. REGN1908‐1909 is characterized by linear and dose‐proportional kinetics of the two individual mAb components. A single 600 mg dose maintains total mAb mean concentrations in serum above the target (mean of ~ 10 mg/L) for 8–12 weeks. Maintaining this mean target concentration resulted in translational pharmacodynamic effects: maximal mast cell degranulation in a passive cutaneous anaphylaxis mouse model, and maintenance of clinical efficacy measured by Total Nasal Symptom Score in a previous proof‐of‐mechanism study.

SMAD4, a tumor suppressor gene, is lost in up to 60%–90% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAs). Loss of SMAD4 allows tumor progression by upregulating autophagy, a cell survival mechanism that counteracts apoptosis and allows intracellular recycling of macromolecules. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an autophagy inhibitor. We studied whether HCQ treatment in SMAD4 deficient PDA may prevent therapeutic resistance induced by autophagy upregulation. We retrospectively analyzed the SMAD4 status of patients with PDA enrolled in two prospective clinical trials evaluating pre‐operative HCQ. The first dose escalation trial demonstrated the safety of preoperative gemcitabine with HCQ (). More recently, a randomized trial of gemcitabine/nab‐paclitaxel +/− HCQ evaluated Evans Grade histopathologic response ( NCT01128296). The effect of SMAD4 loss on response to HCQ and chemotherapy was studied for association with clinical outcome. Fisher’s exact test and log‐rank test were used to assess response and survival. Fifty‐two patients receiving HCQ with neoadjuvant chemotherapy were studied. Twenty‐five patients had SMAD4 loss (48%). 76% of HCQ‐treated patients with SMAD4 loss obtained a histopathologic response greater than or equal to 2A, compared with only 37% with SMAD4 intact (p = 0.006). Although loss of SMAD4 has been associated with worse outcomes, in the current study, loss of SMAD4 was not associated with a detriment in median overall survival in HCQ‐treated patients (34.43 months in SMAD4 loss vs. 27.27 months in SMAD4 intact, p = 0.18). The addition of HCQ to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with PDA may improve treatment response in those with SMAD4 loss. Further study of the relationship among SMAD4, autophagy, and treatment outcomes in PDA is warranted. Study Highlights NCT01978184

The immunosuppressant drug azathioprine is associated with a 4% risk of acute pancreatitis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Studies have demonstrated an increased risk in carriers of HLA‐DQA1*02:01 and HLA‐DRB1*07:01. We investigated whether these human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types were associated with azathioprine‐induced pancreatitis also in Swedish patients with IBD, and whether the type of disease affected the association. Nineteen individuals with IBD who developed acute pancreatitis after initiation of azathioprine were genotyped and compared with a population control cohort (n = 4891) and a control group matched for disease (n = 81). HLA‐DQA1*02:01 and HLA‐DRB1*07:01 were in full linkage disequilibrium, and were significantly associated with acute pancreatitis both when cases were compared with population controls (OR 3.97 [95% CI 1.57–9.97], p = 0.0035) and matched controls (OR 3.55 [95% CI 1.23–10.98], p = 0.0275). In a disease‐specific analysis, the correlation was positive in patients with Crohn''s disease versus matched controls (OR 9.27 [95% CI 1.86–46.19], p = 0.0066), but not in those with ulcerative colitis versus matched controls (OR 0.69 [95% CI 0.07–6.74], p = 0.749). In patients with Crohn''s disease, we estimated the conditional risk of carriers of HLA‐DQA1*02:01‐HLA‐DRB1*07:01 to 7.3%, and the conditional risk of a non‐carrier to 2.2%. We conclude that HLA‐DQA1*02:01‐HLA‐DRB1*07:01 is a marker for increased risk of acute pancreatitis in individuals of Swedish genetic origin, treated with azathioprine for Crohn''s disease.
