RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Sonidegib is a potent, selective and orally bioavailable inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, primarily metabolized by the liver. In order to make dose recommendations for patients with hepatic impairment, we have assessed here the pharmacokinetics (PKs) and safety of sonidegib in subjects with varying degrees of hepatic function. METHODS: The primary objective of this phase I, multicenter, open-label study was to evaluate the PKs of a single oral 800 mg dose of sonidegib in subjects with impaired hepatic function compared with healthy subjects. PK parameters (e.g. area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity [AUCinf], area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration [AUClast], maximum concentration [C max], apparent clearance [CL/F], and terminal half-life [t ½]) for parent drug and the metabolite were compared with the normal group, as the reference. Metabolite ratio, unbound PK parameters, and the relationship between specific PK parameters and liver function parameters were assessed. RESULTS: In total, 33 subjects entered the study and received sonidegib. Plasma concentrations peaked at approximately 2-3 h in all groups after dosing. Compared with the normal group, AUClast decreased by 35 and 23% and increased by 14% in the mild, severe, and moderate hepatic impairment groups, respectively. The C max values were lower in all groups with respect to the normal group (decreases of 20, 21 and 60% in the mild, moderate and severe hepatic impairment groups, respectively). Protein binding was independent of hepatic function, and similar trends in the PK parameters were observed for unbound sonidegib and the metabolite. Protein binding was similar across all groups. Weak to no correlation between specific PK and hepatic function parameters was found. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, sonidegib exposures were similar or decreased in the hepatic impairment groups compared with the normal group, and sonidegib was generally well-tolerated in all subjects. Dose adjustment is not considered necessary for subjects with mild, moderate, or severe hepatic impairment.

PURPOSE: This first-in-human study with SB3 was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) equivalence between SB3 and trastuzumab sourced in the European Union (EU trastuzumab), between SB3 and trastuzumab sourced in the United States (US trastuzumab), and between EU and US trastuzumab (NCT02075073). METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, parallel group, single-dose comparative PK study, 109 healthy male subjects were randomized to receive a single 6-mg/kg IV dose of SB3, EU -trastuzumab, or US trastuzumab. The PK parameters were calculated using noncompartmental methods. The PK equivalence in terms of AUC0--∞), AUC0-last, and Cmax for the pairwise comparisons (SB3 vs EU trastuzumab, SB3 vs US trastuzumab, and EU trastuzumab vs US trastuzumab) were determined using the predefined equivalence margin of 0.8 to 1.25. FINDINGS: Baseline demographic characteristics for the randomized subjects were similar across the 3 groups. The 90% CIs for the geometric least square means of the AUC0-∞, AUC0-last, and Cmax were completely contained within the margin of 0.8 to 1.25. The proportions of subjects who experienced adverse events related to the study drug were 36.1%, 44.4%, and 61.1% in the SB3, EU trastuzumab, and US trastuzumab groups, respectively. The most frequently reported adverse events related to the study drug was infusion-related reactions. No subjects had positive results for antidrug antibodies after a single dose of SB3, EU trastuzumab, or US trastuzumab. IMPLICATIONS: This study revealed PK equivalence between SB3 and EU trastuzumab, between SB3 and US trastuzumab, and between EU trastuzumab and US trastuzumab. SB3 is well tolerated without tolerability concerns after single-dose administration in healthy male subjects.

CONTEXT: In response to a meal, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) are released and modulate glycemic control. Normally these incretins are rapidly degraded by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). DPP-4 inhibitors are a novel class of oral antihyperglycemic agents in development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The degree of DPP-4 inhibition and the level of active incretin augmentation required for glucose lowering efficacy after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were evaluated. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to examine the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and tolerability of sitagliptin. DESIGN: This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-period, single-dose crossover study. SETTING: The study was conducted at six investigational sites. PATIENTS: The study population consisted of 58 patients with type 2 diabetes who were not on antihyperglycemic agents. INTERVENTIONS: Interventions included sitagliptin 25 mg, sitagliptin 200 mg, or placebo. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Measurements included plasma DPP-4 activity; post-OGTT glucose excursion; active and total incretin GIP levels; insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon concentrations; and sitagliptin pharmacokinetics. RESULTS: Sitagliptin dose-dependently inhibited plasma DPP-4 activity over 24 h, enhanced active GLP-1 and GIP levels, increased insulin/C-peptide, decreased glucagon, and reduced glycemic excursion after OGTTs administered at 2 and 24 h after single oral 25- or 200-mg doses of sitagliptin. Sitagliptin was generally well tolerated, with no hypoglycemic events. CONCLUSIONS: In this study in patients with type 2 diabetes, near maximal glucose-lowering efficacy of sitagliptin after single oral doses was associated with inhibition of plasma DPP-4 activity of 80% or greater, corresponding to a plasma sitagliptin concentration of 100 nm or greater, and an augmentation of active GLP-1 and GIP levels of 2-fold or higher after an OGTT.
