Abstract Purpose To compare pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity between SB8, a bevacizumab biosimilar, and the European Union (EU) and United States (US) reference products (bevacizumab-EU, bevacizumab-US). Methods In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, and single-dose study, healthy volunteers were randomized to receive a 3 mg/kg dose of SB8, bevacizumab-EU, or bevacizumab-US via intravenous infusion. Primary endpoints were area under the concentration–time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf) and to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast), and maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax). Bioequivalence was achieved if 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the ratios of the geometric least squares means (LSMeans) of primary endpoints were within the predefined bioequivalence margins of 80.00–125.00%. Safety and immunogenicity were also investigated. Results The 90% CIs for the geometric LSMean ratios of AUCinf, AUClast and Cmax were all within the prespecified bioequivalence margins. Geometric LSMean ratios for SB8/bevacizumab-EU, SB8/bevacizumab-US and bevacizumab-EU/bevacizumab-US were 88.01%, 88.48% and 100.54% for AUCinf, 88.65%, 89.08% and 100.49% for AUClast and 99.59%, 101.15% and 101.56% for Cmax, respectively. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) across treatment groups was comparable (SB8: 50.0%, bevacizumab-EU: 37.5%, bevacizumab-US: 53.8%). Most TEAEs were mild and considered as not related to the study drug. No deaths or treatment discontinuations due to adverse events occurred. Incidence of anti-drug antibodies was also comparable between all groups and no neutralizing antibodies were detected. Conclusion This study demonstrated pharmacokinetic bioequivalence and similar safety and immunogenicity profiles of SB8 to both reference products, bevacizumab-EU and bevacizumab-US, and of bevacizumab-EU to bevacizumab-US.

ABSTRACT A single-dose study and a multiple-dose study of the safety and pharmacokinetics of ruprintrivir, a new selective irreversible inhibitor of human rhinovirus 3C protease, were conducted with healthy adult volunteers. Both studies were double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group investigations of ruprintrivir administered intranasally at two dose levels. The parent drug and its acid metabolite, AG7185, were measured in plasma samples and nasal washings, and the safety of the treatments was monitored. Intranasal ruprintrivir, administered as single doses of 4 and 8 mg or every 3 h, six times per day, for 7 days was safe and well tolerated. Adverse events were mild, short-lived, and confined to the upper respiratory tract (i.e., nose and throat, taste and smell perceptions). Adverse events were similar after placebo and after single or multiple doses of active drug. Systemic exposure to ruprintrivir was rarely detectable with the highest measured concentration of ≤0.52 ng/ml; the assay had a lower limit of quantification of 0.2 ng/ml. Systemic exposure to the metabolite was also low, with a highest measured concentration of 3.25 ng/ml. Concentrations of AG7185 observed during multiple dosing were higher than those observed after the first dose but were no more than predicted from the single-dose study. Substantial amounts of ruprintrivir were observed intranasally for at least 9 h after multiple doses of ruprintrivir.

Objective: The study aimed to explore the bioequivalence of a proposed biosimilar BAT1806 to its reference products marketed in the EU and US (RoActemra-EU and Actemra-US) among healthy Chinese men. The tolerance, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the three drugs were also investigated.Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, single-dose, three-arm, parallel study, a single-dose of 4 mg/kg of the reference products, or the biosimilar was administered to the participants. The participants were followed up for 57 days, and PK, immunogenicity, and tolerance evaluations were completed during this period.Results: The PK parameters were similar in all three groups: BAT1806 (n = 45), RoActemra-EU (n = 42), and Actemra-US (n = 42). The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the ratios of Cmax, AUC0–t and AUC0–∞ were 86.90–104.41% for BAT1806 vs. RoActemra-EU, 91.70–106.15% for BAT1806 vs Actemra-US, and 90.04–105.53% for Actemra-US vs RoActemra-EU. For all comparisons, the 90% CIs for the Cmax, AUC0–t, and AUC0–∞ were within the predefined bioequivalence limit of 80.00–125.00%. The intersubject variability ranged from 14.5% to 21.5%, which was considerably low. Among the participants, 19 (42.2%), 10 (23.8%), and 12 (28.6%) from the BAT1806, RoActemra-EU, and Actemra-US groups were, respectively, found to be positive for anti-drug antibodies, while 14 (31.1%), nine (21.4%), and 12 (28.6%) were positive for neutralizing antibodies. Nevertheless, these antibodies did not affect the drug concentrations, and the outcomes in the bioequivalence tests were similar after sensitivity analysis. Treatment-related and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were recorded in 27, 34, and 32 participants in the BAT1806, RoActemra-EU, and Actemra-US groups, respectively. The most common treatment-related adverse events observed were a decrease in neutrophil, and white blood cell counts.Conclusion: The PK characteristics of BAT1806 were similar to those of the reference products, RoActemra-EU and Actemra-US. Both BAT1806 and the reference products exhibited low intersubject variability and similar safety profiles.Clinical trial registration number:http://www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn/index.html, CTR20180039; https://clinicaltrials.gov/NCT03606876

Background We present findings from the multicenter, double-blind Phase 3 study, CENTURION. This study was designed to assess the efficacy of and consistency of response to lasmiditan in the acute treatment of migraine across four attacks. Methods Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to one of three treatment groups – lasmiditan 200 mg; lasmiditan 100 mg; or a control group that received placebo for three attacks and lasmiditan 50 mg for either the third or fourth attack. The primary endpoints were pain freedom at 2 h (first attack) and pain freedom at 2 h in ≥2/3 attacks. Secondary endpoints included pain relief, sustained pain freedom and disability freedom. Statistical testing used a logistic regression model and graphical methodology to control for multiplicity. Results Overall, 1471 patients treated ≥1 migraine attack with the study drug. Both primary endpoints were met for lasmiditan 100 mg and 200 mg ( p < 0.001). All gated secondary endpoints were met. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was highest during the first attack. The most common TEAEs with lasmiditan were dizziness, paresthesia, fatigue, and nausea; these were generally mild or moderate in severity. Conclusions These results confirm the early and sustained efficacy of lasmiditan 100 mg and 200 mg and demonstrate consistency of response across multiple attacks.

ABSTRACT High doses of rifampin may help patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) to survive. Pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic evaluations suggested that rifampin doses higher than 13 mg/kg given intravenously or 20 mg/kg given orally (as previously studied) are warranted to maximize treatment response. In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase II trial, we assigned 60 adult TBM patients in Bandung, Indonesia, to standard 450 mg, 900 mg, or 1,350 mg (10, 20, and 30 mg/kg) oral rifampin combined with other TB drugs for 30 days. The endpoints included pharmacokinetic measures, adverse events, and survival. A double and triple dose of oral rifampin led to 3- and 5-fold higher geometric mean total exposures in plasma in the critical early days (2 ± 1) of treatment (area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h [AUC0–24], 53.5 mg · h/liter versus 170.6 mg · h/liter and 293.5 mg · h/liter, respectively; P < 0.001), with proportional increases in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations and without an increase in the incidence of grade 3 or 4 adverse events. The 6-month mortality was 7/20 (35%), 9/20 (45%), and 3/20 (15%) in the 10-, 20-, and 30-mg/kg groups, respectively (P = 0.12). A tripling of the standard dose caused a large increase in rifampin exposure in plasma and CSF and was safe. The survival benefit with this dose should now be evaluated in a larger phase III clinical trial. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02169882.)

Background : ALX-0081 is a bivalent Nanobody ® based on the variable domain of naturally occurring heavy-chain only antibodies. It binds with high affinity to the A1 domain of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and thereby blocks the interactions between platelets and vascular collagen. It selectively prevents thrombus formation under high shear stress conditions. Aim : Test ALX-0081 single IV infusions (60 minutes) dosed from 0.5mg to 12mg total in 40 male healthy volunteers in double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled study and assess pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), safety and immunogenicity. Results : ALX-0081 displayed non-linear pharmacokinetic properties, following a 2 compartment model. Ristocetin induced platelet aggregation (RIPA) was analyzed as marker for PD effect with full inhibition (defined as measured levels dropping <10%) observed at ALX-0081 concentrations of ~ 400ng/ml. All subjects dosed ≥ 2mg achieved full RIPA inhibition at 1h post-dosing for maximum of 12h. ALX-0081 treatment was well tolerated and safe, no signs of bleeding were reported and no immunogenic response was detected. Target related mild and transient reductions of vWF and FVIII plasma levels were observed and all events were fully reversible. Phase Ib study design : double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, multiple ascending dose study. ALX-0081 added to standard anti-thrombotic regimen (ASA, clopidogrel, UFH) in patients with stable angina undergoing elective PCI. Single-dose escalation will be followed by multiple dosing (up to 4 doses in 24h). Dose escalation will be guided by safety and efficacy marker. Endpoints: safety, pharmacological profile, biomarker (RIPA, RICO and ACT) and early clinical outcome (MACE, IMR, molecular marker). Conclusion : ALX-0081 can be administered safely over a wide range of dose-regimen. First results of the phase Ib study in stable angina patients will be presented.
