ABSTRACT
AT-527 is a novel modified guanosine nucleotide prodrug inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, with increased in vitro antiviral activity as compared to sofosbuvir and a highly differentiated favorable preclinical profile compared to other anti-HCV nucleoside/nucleotide analogs. This was a multiple part clinical study where multiple ascending doses of AT-527 up to 600 mg (expressed as AT-527 salt form; equivalent to 553 mg free base) once daily for seven days were evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of treatment-naïve, non-cirrhotic, genotype 1b, HCV-infected subjects. The highest dose of AT-527 for the same duration was then evaluated in two open label cohorts of a) non-cirrhotic, genotype 3, HCV-infected subjects and b) HCV-infected subjects of any genotype with compensated (Child-Pugh A) cirrhosis. AT-527 was well tolerated for seven days in all cohorts. At the highest dose tested, mean HCV RNA reductions of up to 2.4 log10 IU/mL occurred within the first 24 hours of dosing. Mean maximum reductions observed with seven days of dosing were 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 log10 IU/mL in non-cirrhotic subjects with HCV genotype 1b, non-cirrhotic subjects with HCV genotype 3, and subjects with compensated cirrhosis, respectively. The systemic half-life of AT-273, the nucleoside metabolite considered a surrogate of intracellular phosphates including the active triphosphate, exceeded 20 hours, supporting once daily dosing. In summary, AT-527 demonstrated rapid, potent, dose/exposure-related and pan-genotypic antiviral activity with similar responses between subjects with and without cirrhosis. Exposure-antiviral response analysis identified 550 mg (free base equivalent) as the optimal dose of AT-527. Safety and antiviral activity data from this study warrant continued clinical development of AT-527 dosed once daily.
