RESUMO
No practical biomarkers currently exist for the prediction of the analgesic efficacy of opioids. Previously, we reported circulating miRNA signatures differentially regulated by µ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonists in healthy subjects. We hypothesized that these miRNAs could be potential pharmacodynamic biomarkers to estimate MOR stimulation, and predict the efficacy of opioids; i.e., patients with low MOR stimulation may be more vulnerable to strengthening of the MOR signal upon hydromorphone treatment. To test this hypothesis, plasma samples were obtained from 25 patients with cancer pain prior to the initiation of hydromorphone treatment and the circulating miRNA levels were evaluated, focusing on four miRNAs (i.e., hsa-miR-423-3p, hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-miR-26a-5p, and hsa-let-7f-5p) and four miRNAs (i.e., hsa-miR-144-3p, hsa-miR-451a, hsa-miR-215, and hsa-miR-363-3p) that were most clearly up and downregulated by hydromorphone and oxycodone. The patients were classified into two classes with putative high and low MOR signal, estimated based on the plasma miRNA signature. A significant correlation was observed between the analgesic efficacy and the putative MOR signal level, and patients with low MOR signal achieved better pain control (i.e., ΔVAS < 0) through hydromorphone. These results suggested that plasma miRNA signatures could serve as clinical biomarkers for the prediction of the analgesic efficacy of hydromorphone.

A single dose of laninamivir octanoate (LO) inhaled using a dry powder inhaler (DPI) is effective for the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza. Nebulizers are an option for pediatric and elderly patients who may have difficulty in using a DPI. A single-center, open-label study was conducted to evaluate the plasma and intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics (PK) of laninamivir after a single nebulized administration of LO in healthy male Japanese subjects for identifying a safe and effective dosage regimen for a nebulizer. A single dose of LO (40 to 320 mg) was administered using a nebulizer, and plasma concentrations of LO and laninamivir were analyzed up to 168 h after inhalation by validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods. Subgroups of 6 subjects each underwent bronchoalveolar lavage at specified time intervals over 4 to 168 h following a single nebulized administration of LO (160 mg), and the concentrations in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) were calculated by the urea diffusion method. PK parameters were determined by noncompartment analysis. Inhaled nebulized LO was found to be safe and well tolerated up to the highest dose evaluated (320 mg). Plasma laninamivir concentrations increased almost dose proportionally. Laninamivir concentrations in ELF exceeded the 50% inhibitory concentrations for viral neuraminidase up to 168 h after the nebulized inhalation of 160 mg LO. Thus, similarly to the DPI, ELF concentration profiles of laninamivir after a single nebulized administration support its long-lasting effect against influenza virus infection. This study has been registered at JAPIC Clinical Trials Information (http://www.clinicaltrials.jp/) under registration no. JAPIC CTI-152996.

Emerging evidence demonstrates functional contributions of microRNAs (miRNAs) to µ-opioid receptor (MOR) signaling, but the information so far has been mostly limited to their intracellular regulatory mechanisms. The present study aimed to investigate changes in plasma miRNA profiles elicited by opioid treatment in blood samples collected from clinical studies. Healthy male subjects were orally administered with hydromorphone or oxycodone and blood samples were collected at a specified time after the drug treatment. A total of 179 plasma miRNAs were measured using multiplex qRT-PCR. Nine and seventeen miRNAs were commonly upregulated (let-7a-5p, miR-423-3p, miR-199a-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-23b-3p, miR-24-3p, miR-221-3p, miR-223-3p, and miR-146b-5p) and downregulated (miR-144-3p, miR-215, miR-363-3p, etc.), respectively, following opioid treatment. The MOR signaling-associated miRNAs, namely let-7 family miRNAs (i.e., let-7d-5p, let-7f-5p, let-7c, let-7e-5p), miR-103a-3p, miR-339-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-23b-3p, miR-23a-3p, and miR-181a-5p, were differentially expressed following drug treatment. These differentially expressed miRNAs are circulating biomarker candidates that can be used to evaluate MOR stimulation and serve as novel clinical diagnostic tools for improving clinical outcomes.

Valemetostat is an oral, selective inhibitor of enhancer of zeste homolog-2 (EZH2) and EZH1. In a first-in-human phase-1 trial, valemetostat capsules were well tolerated and clinically active in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Subsequently, a film-coated tablet formulation was developed for future clinical trials and commercialization. We report outcomes from 2 phase 1 trials in healthy Japanese participants, assessing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of valemetostat tablets at single ascending doses (50, 100, and 200-mg), the relative bioavailability between capsules and tablets, and the effect of food (high-fat or low-fat meals) on the PK of valemetostat tablets. In the ascending-dose study, valemetostat maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased dose-proportionally. Valemetostat plasma PK parameters were similar between the capsule and tablet formulations following a single 200-mg dose. Administration of valemetostat, 200 mg after a meal, was associated with 50%-60% lower Cmax , 30%-50% lower AUC, and a median Tmax delay of 2.5-3 hours relative to fasted administration. Valemetostat was well tolerated in healthy subjects; treatment-emergent adverse events were mild (grade 1) in severity. Based on these trials, the tablet formulation of valemetostat is suitable for use in subsequent clinical trials and should be administered under fasted conditions to avoid a negative food effect.

Background: The opioid analgesic hydromorphone has a low renal excretion ratio; however, exposure after oral administration is several times higher in those with moderate or severe renal impairment. Objectives: We evaluated the impact of renal impairment on the steady-state pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered hydromorphone in patients with cancer being treated for pain. Design: This was an open-label, prospective, parallel-comparison, interventional clinical pharmacology study. Setting/Subjects: This study was conducted at one hospital in Japan. Using creatinine clearance (CLcr) values, patients were grouped according to kidney function: CLcr ≥90 mL/min (normal), 60-<90 mL/min (mild impairment), 30-<60 mL/min (moderate impairment), or <30 mL/min (severe impairment). Measurements: Hydromorphone was administered by constant infusion to patients at the same constant dose rate as at the time of enrollment. Hydromorphone and its glucuronide metabolite concentrations in plasma and urine were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters at steady state were assessed using noncompartmental analysis. Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled (normal, n = 3; mild, n = 10; moderate, n = 15; and severe, n = 4). Adjusted geometric mean ratios for hydromorphone steady-state clearance (CLss) for patients with impaired versus normal renal function were 0.69 (90% confidence interval [CI], 0.41-1.14), 0.52 (90% CI, 0.31-0.84), and 0.55 (90% CI, 0.30-1.02) for mild, moderate, or severe impairment, respectively. Exposures to the metabolite hydromorphone-3-glucuronide generally increased with renal impairment. No adverse event was reported. Conclusion: Hydromorphone CLss in patients with impaired renal function (moderate and severe) was decreased â¼50% of that of normal renal function.

This single-center, randomized, open-label, single-dose, 2-group, 2-stage crossover trial evaluated the bioequivalence of 15 mg of mirogabalin as orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) with conventional mirogabalin tablets in healthy Japanese men. The trial involved two studies: in Study 1, the ODT formulation was taken without water, and in Study 2, the ODT formulation was taken with water. The conventional tablet was taken with water in both studies. We investigated the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioequivalence of the 2 formulations, including the maximum plasma concentration and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve up to the last quantifiable time. The plasma concentrations of mirogabalin were determined by a validated liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry method. A total of 72 participants were enrolled and completed the trial. The geometric least-squares mean ratios of maximum plasma concentration of the ODT formulation to the conventional formulation were within the prespecified bioequivalence range of 0.80-1.25 (Study 1, 0.995; Study 2, 1.009), as was the area under the plasma concentration-time curve up to the last quantifiable time (Study 1, 1.023; Study 2, 1.035). No serious adverse events were observed. In conclusion, mirogabalin 15-mg ODTs, either with or without water, were bioequivalent to conventional 15-mg tablets.

INTRODUCTION: Mirogabalin is a treatment option for patients with neuropathic pain; however, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) data specifically for Chinese individuals are limited to a single-dose study. We aimed to assess these for both single- and multiple-dose mirogabalin in healthy Chinese participants. METHODS: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I study, 54 healthy Chinese men and women aged 18-45 years were randomly allocated to receive single- (5, 10, or 15 mg, daily) or multiple-dose (5 mg titrated to 15 mg, twice-daily, over 22 days) oral mirogabalin or placebo. In each of three single-dose groups, 10 participants received mirogabalin and 2 received placebo; in the multiple-dose group, 14 participants received mirogabalin and 4 received placebo. The primary endpoints were PK, safety, and tolerability variables, including treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), laboratory tests, and vital signs. PK data were collected for both single- and multiple-dose cohorts and evaluated by non-compartmental analysis. RESULTS: Single- and multiple-dose mirogabalin was generally well tolerated with no deaths, serious TEAEs, or TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation. Frequently reported TEAEs included dizziness, nystagmus, increased blood triglycerides, headache, and increased blood uric acid and creatine phosphokinase. Single-dose mirogabalin was rapidly absorbed (median time to maximum plasma concentration, 1.00 h) and eliminated (mean terminal elimination half-life, 2.57-3.08 h). The exposure was approximately dose-proportional. In the multiple-dose cohort, the trough plasma concentration increased dose-proportionally, and exposure and clearance were comparable to that following a single 15-mg dose. The mean cumulative amount excreted into urine up to 48 h post-dose increased in a dose-proportional manner, the mean cumulative percentage excreted into urine was 61.9%-74.3%, and renal clearance remained relatively constant. CONCLUSION: Consistent with previous phase I studies in other populations, mirogabalin was safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese participants at single and multiple doses of up to 15 mg twice-daily.

BACKGROUND: DS-5670a is a vaccine candidate for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) harnessing a novel modality composed of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) encoding the receptor-binding domain (RBD) from the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. Here, we report the safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetic profile of DS-5670a from a phase 2 clinical trial in healthy adults who were immunologically naïve to SARS-CoV-2. METHODS: The study consisted of an open-label, uncontrolled, dose-escalation part and a double-blind, randomized, uncontrolled, 2-arm, parallel-group part. A total of 80 Japanese participants were assigned to receive intramuscular DS-5670a, containing either 30 or 60 µg of mRNA, as two injections administered 4 weeks apart. Safety was assessed by characterization of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Immunogenicity was assessed by neutralization titers against SARS-CoV-2, anti-RBD immunoglobulin (Ig)G levels, and SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific T cell responses. Plasma pharmacokinetic parameters of DS-5670a were also evaluated. RESULTS: Most solicited TEAEs were mild or moderate with both the 30 and 60 µg mRNA doses. Four participants (10 %) in the 60 µg mRNA group developed severe redness at the injection site, but all cases resolved without treatment. There were no serious TEAEs and no TEAEs leading to discontinuation. Humoral immune responses in both dose groups were greater than those observed in human convalescent serum; the 60 µg mRNA dose produced better responses. Neutralization titers were found to be correlated with anti-RBD IgG levels (specifically IgG1). DS-5670a elicited antigen-specific T helper 1-polarized cellular immune responses. CONCLUSIONS: The novel mRNA-based vaccine candidate DS-5670a provided favorable immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 with a clinically acceptable safety profile. Confirmatory trials are currently ongoing to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of DS-5670a as the primary vaccine and to assess the immunogenicity when administered as a heterologous or homologous booster.

A single inhaled dose of laninamivir octanoate (LO), a long-acting neuraminidase inhibitor, exhibits efficacy in treating both adult and pediatric patients with influenza virus infection. The intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics (PK) of LO and laninamivir, a pharmacologically active metabolite, were investigated by a single-center, open-label study of healthy adult volunteers. Subgroups of five subjects each underwent bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) 4, 8, 24, 48, 72, 168, and 240 h following a single inhaled administration of LO (40 mg). Plasma, BAL fluid, and alveolar macrophages (AM) were analyzed to determine LO and laninamivir concentrations, using validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods. The concentrations in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) and AM from the first and subsequent BAL fluid samples were determined separately to explore the drug distribution in airways. Mean laninamivir concentrations in ELF, calculated using the first BAL fluids and BAL fluids collected 4 h after inhaled administration, were 8.57 and 2.40 µg/ml, respectively. The laninamivir concentration in ELF decreased with a longer half-life than that in plasma, and it exceeded the 50% inhibitory concentrations for viral neuraminidases at all time points examined for 240 h after the inhalation. Laninamivir exposure in ELF from the first BAL samples was 3.2 times higher than that in ELF from the subsequent BAL fluid samples. ELF concentration profiles of laninamivir support its long-lasting effect for treatment of patients with influenza virus infection by a single inhaled administration.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Esaxerenone showed the potential to inhibit and induce activity against cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A in in vitro studies. We investigated whether repeated administration of 5 mg/day esaxerenone for 14 days influences the pharmacokinetics of midazolam, a sensitive CYP3A substrate, in healthy Japanese males. METHODS: This single-centre, open-label, single-sequence study had two administration periods: period 1: single oral dose of 2 mg midazolam (day 0); period 2: repeated oral doses of 5 mg/day esaxerenone for 14 days, with a single oral dose of 2 mg midazolam on day 14. Full pharmacokinetic profiles of midazolam and 1-hydroxymidazolam on days 0 and 14 and safety data were obtained. Primary pharmacokinetic endpoints for midazolam were area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from zero to time of the last measurable concentration (AUClast), AUC from zero to infinity (AUCinf), and peak plasma concentration (Cmax). RESULTS: The study included 28 male subjects. One subject was withdrawn because of a mild adverse event (increased hepatic enzyme levels) that resolved without intervention. Repeated administration of esaxerenone increased midazolam AUClast, AUCinf, and Cmax by about 1.2-fold (1.201, 1.201, and 1.224, respectively) compared with administration of midazolam alone. However, repeated administration of esaxerenone did not affect the elimination half-life of midazolam (2.86 versus 2.63 h with and without esaxerenone). There were no safety concerns associated with concomitant administration of esaxerenone and midazolam. CONCLUSIONS: Esaxerenone 5 mg/day had no clinically significant effect on midazolam pharmacokinetics and was not associated with any safety issues. Esaxerenone can be concomitantly administered with drugs of CYP3A substrates without dose adjustments. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: JapiCTI-152832.

Oxycodone is a semisynthetic opioid used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. Two separate studies were conducted to assess the pharmacokinetic bioequivalence of a newly formulated oxycodone hydrochloride extended-release tablet to a marketed oxycodone product in Japan under fasting and fed conditions. Each study was a randomized, open-label, single-dose, single-center, two-period, two-way crossover study. Healthy male Japanese subjects received the oxycodone 10-mg products under fasting and fed conditions. Blood samples were collected at specified time intervals, and plasma concentrations of oxycodone were analyzed using a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry assay method. The pharmacokinetic parameters were determined via non-compartmental analysis. Pharmacokinetic metrics used for bioequivalence assessment were the maximum observed plasma concentration (C max) and the area under the concentration-time curve up to the last sampling time (AUC t ). A total of 24 healthy subjects were enrolled in each study. One subject withdrew after completion of the first sequence under fed conditions. The ratios of geometric least square means for C max and AUC t under fasting conditions were 1.1110 (90% confidence interval [CI] 1.0562-1.1687) and 0.9946 (90% CI 0.9670-1.0231), respectively. The ratios of geometric least square means for C max and AUCt under fed conditions were 1.1417 (90% CI 1.0959-1.1895) and 1.0135 (90% CI 0.9810-1.0470), respectively. The 90% CIs were within the predefined range (0.80-1.25). Both treatments were well tolerated when taken without an opioid antagonist in healthy Japanese subjects. Pharmacokinetic bioequivalence between test and reference formulations under fasting and fed conditions was concluded in terms of both rate and extent of absorption.

This single dose, open-label study investigated the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of newly formulated immediate-release (IR) and hydrophilic matrix extended-release (ER) hydromorphone tablets in healthy Japanese subjects without co-administration of an opioid antagonist under fasting and fed conditions. Plasma and urinary concentrations of hydromorphone and metabolites were measured by liquid-chromatography tandem mass-spectroscopy. Following administration of the ER tablet, plasma concentrations of hydromorphone slowly increased with a median tmax of 5.0 h and the Cmax decreased to 37% of the IR tablet, while the AUC0-inf was comparable with that of the IR tablet when administered at the same dose. The degree of fluctuation in the plasma concentration for the ER tablet was much lower than that of the IR tablet and certain levels of plasma concentrations were maintained after 24 h of ER dosing. The AUC0-inf and Cmax increased with food for both IR and ER tablets. The AUC0-inf of hydromorphone-3-glucoside was one-tenth of that of hydromorphone-3-glucuronide. A single oral administration of the hydromorphone tablets would be well-tolerated in healthy Japanese subjects despite a lack of co-administration of an opioid antagonist and the newly developed ER hydromorphone tablets may have the appropriate PK characteristics for once-daily dosing.

Adenocarcinoma (ADC) is the most frequent histological type of lung cancer and comprises the majority of lung cancers in non-smokers. Thus, genetic factors responsible for ADC susceptibility need to be determined to establish efficient ways of preventing the disease. The OGG1 gene, encoding a glycosylase for 8-hydroxyguanine, an oxidatively damaged promutagenic base, has the polymorphism Ser326Cys, and OGG1-326Cys protein was indicated to have a lower ability to prevent mutagenesis than the OGG1-326Ser protein. Case-control studies to date suggest that the OGG1-326Cys allele is associated with a higher risk for several types of cancers, including overall lung cancer. However, the contribution of this polymorphism to lung ADC risk is unclear. In the present study, the OGG1-Ser326Cys polymorphism was assessed for association with lung ADC risk using a case-control study of a Japanese population consisting of 1097 cases and 394 controls. Odds ratios (OR) of the 326Cys allele carriers increased in a dose-dependent manner with allele number (P for the trend test = 0.04). The OR of homozygotes for the 326Cys allele was increased significantly when homozygotes for the 326Ser allele were used as a reference (OR = 1.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0-2.1, P = 0.04). Furthermore, the overall OR for lung ADC of the Cys/Cys homozygotes out of a total of 1925 ADC patients and 3449 controls from six case-control studies reported up to the present were 1.43 (95% CI = 1.11-1.84, P = 0.0045). These results indicate that OGG1-326Cys functions as a risk allele for lung ADC development.

Fifty single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with amino acid changes in 36 genes involved in diverse DNA repair pathways were assessed for associations with risk for small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) by a case-control study consisting of 211 SCLC cases and 685 controls. An SNP, Val83Met, in the MTH1 (microtT homolog 1) gene encoding a triphosphatase that hydrolyzes pro-mutagenic oxidized nucleoside triphosphates, such as 8-hydroxy-dGTP and 2-hydroxy-dATP, showed the strongest and a significant association with SCLC risk [odds ratio (OR)=1.6, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2-2.2, P=0.004], while three other SNPs in the TP53, BLM and SNM1 genes, respectively, also showed marginal associations (0.05
