RESUMO
Erenumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor, is efficacious and safe for prevention of attacks of migraine in adults. This phase I, randomized, open-label, multiple-dose study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of erenumab in children and adolescents with migraine. The initial treatment phase lasted 12 weeks, followed by an optional 40-week extension phase for adolescents. Primary end points were PK of erenumab, incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and changes in clinical and laboratory assessments. Participants received erenumab 35 mg (n = 4), 70 mg (n = 17), or 140 mg (n = 32) q4w. The mean age was 14.1 years. Of the 53 participants, 48 (90.6%) completed the initial treatment phase and 36 (67.9%) received erenumab during the extension phase. Mean exposures to erenumab based on the maximum observed concentration and the area under the drug concentration-time curve during the dosing interval increased approximately dose-proportionally. A total of 42 participants (79.2%) reported TEAEs (307.2 per 100 participant-years); and four (7.5%) reported serious TEAEs not considered treatment-related. The most common TEAEs were upper respiratory tract infection, headache, and vomiting. No clinically significant changes were reported in vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory and neurological assessments. Overall, the observed PK profile of erenumab in children and adolescents with migraine is consistent with that in adults when body weight differences are taken into consideration. The safety profile of erenumab in children and adolescents is consistent with that in adults.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a cardiac myosin activator under development for the treatment of heart failure. The pharmacokinetics of single and multiple doses of OM were investigated in healthy Japanese subjects in two clinical studies. METHODS: Study 1 (n = 36) evaluated the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics after intravenous infusion (15 mg/h for 4 h) and an oral modified release (MR) tablet in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects using 25 mg single and multiple doses and 50 mg single dose. Study 2 (n = 50) evaluated the pharmacokinetics of OM with multiple oral doses of 25 mg MR tablets twice a day (BID) followed by up-titration to either 37.5 mg or 50 mg BID in healthy Japanese subjects. RESULTS: In Study 1, the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf) in Japanese subjects after a single oral dose of 50 mg were twice that at the 25 mg dose, consistent with that observed in Caucasian subjects. Following single oral doses of 25 mg and 50 mg, absolute bioavailability was 56.5% and 59.2% for Japanese subjects and 63.1 and 83.6% for Caucasian subjects, respectively. No ethnic differences were observed in the pharmacokinetics of OM and its metabolites following single and multiple doses of 25 mg and 50 mg. In Study 2, the mean accumulation ratios based on AUC from 0 to 12 h (AUC12) were approximately four-fold from day 1 to day 8 and from day 20 to day 27 across ethnic groups. The mean ratios of Cmax to predose concentrations (Cpredose) ranged from 1.25 to 1.38 across subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: OM showed consistent and predictable pharmacokinetics after multiple dosing in Japanese subjects.

Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a novel selective cardiac myosin activator under investigation for the treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. OM is primarily eliminated via metabolism mediated by multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes. This phase 1 single-dose, multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK) of OM and major metabolites M3 and M4, safety, and tolerability following oral administration of a single dose of 25-mg MR tablet in subjects with mild (n = 6) or moderate (n = 6) hepatic impairment (according to Child-Pugh classification) versus subjects with normal hepatic function (n = 6). Relative to subjects with normal hepatic function, for subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment, OM AUCinf was 103.2% (90%CI, 58.0%-183.6%) and 94.8% (90%CI, 54.7%-164.1%), respectively, and OM Cmax was 126.8% (90%CI, 85.7%-187.7%) and 117.3% (90%CI, 80.7%-170.5%), respectively. Exposures to M3 were similar across groups, whereas slightly lower exposures were observed for M4 with worsening hepatic function. The OM, M3, and M4 tmax and t1/2 values were similar between groups. There were no serious adverse events (AEs) or treatment-related treatment-emergent AEs. Overall, OM, M3, and M4 PK were not meaningfully affected by mild or moderate hepatic impairment, suggesting the same dosing strategy can be used in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment.

Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a cardiac myosin activator in clinical development for the treatment of heart failure. The effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of 25, 37.5, and 50 mg strength modified release (MR) tablets and the bioequivalence of two 25 mg tablets versus one 50 mg MR tablet were evaluated in two open-label, randomized, cross-over studies in healthy subjects. Subjects received two 25 mg tablets or one 50 mg OM MR tablet under fed or fasted states in Study 1 (n = 39), and single oral doses of 25 and 37.5 mg OM MR tablets and to assess its relative bioavailability to the 25 mg MR tablet, a 25 mg oral solution under fed or fasted states in Study 2 (n = 34). The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and the maximum observed concentration (Cmax ) of 25, 37.5, or 50 mg OM MR tablets were approximately 13%-22% higher and 31%-40% higher, respectively, when taken with food. The two 25 mg and one 50 mg OM MR tablets were bioequivalent (90% confidence intervals) of the geometric mean ratios for Cmax and AUC of OM were within 0.8-1.25 under the fasted or fed state. OM was well tolerated and all treatment-emergent events were mild in severity and resolved by the end of the study. In conclusion, these studies demonstrated that the effect of food on the PK of OM was minimal at all three studied strengths of the MR tablets, and two 25 mg MR tablets may be switched for one 50 mg MR tablet (EudraCT Number: 2019-003683-44).

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a cardiac myosin activator under clinical development for the treatment of heart failure. Two modified-release (MR) novel OM minitablet formulations were developed to support the planned investigation of chronic heart failure in pediatric patients. The primary objective of this study was to determine the bioavailability of the minitablets relative to the adult matrix MR formulation tablets. METHODS: In a randomized, 5-period, crossover study, 20 healthy subjects received each of the following treatments orally: one 25-mg adult matrix MR tablet, 25 1-mg slow-release minitablets, 25 1-mg fast-release minitablets, six 1-mg slow-release minitablets, or six 1-mg fast-release minitablets after an overnight fast of at least 10 h with a minimum washout of 7 days between treatments. Blood samples were collected for up to 168 h. OM pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-compartmental methods. RESULTS: When OM was administered as 25 1-mg OM slow-release minitablets, AUClast, AUCinf, and Cmax were 0.998-, 1.00-, and 1.29-fold of a single 25-mg OM matrix MR tablet, respectively. When OM was administered as 25 1-mg OM fast-release minitablets, AUClast, AUCinf, and Cmax were 1.26-, 1.25-, and 2.21-fold of a single 25-mg OM matrix MR tablet, respectively. The slow- and fast-release minitablets display approximately dose-proportional pharmacokinetics. There were no serious adverse events or treatment-emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation from the study. CONCLUSIONS: Relative bioavailability of slow-release minitablets was demonstrated to be similar to the adult matrix MR formulation.

Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a novel cardiac myosin activator that is currently in clinical development for the treatment of heart failure. The absorption and disposition of [14C]OM (60 µCi) were studied after a single intravenous infusion (35 mg over 1 hour) or oral solution dose (35 mg) in 14 healthy male subjects. Mean recovery of the administered [14C]OM dose was 85.1% and 86.5% over 336 hours for the intravenous and oral routes, respectively. After intravenous dosing, 47.8% and 37.3% of the dose was recovered in urine and feces, respectively; after oral dosing, 48.6% and 38.0% was recovered in urine and feces, respectively. Unchanged OM accounted for a minor percentage of radioactivity in urine (mean 7.7% of dose) and feces (mean 4.1% of dose) across all subjects. The major metabolites recovered in urine and feces were M3 (decarbamoylation product) and sequential metabolite M4 (lactam of M3), which accounted for means of 26.5% and 11.6% of the administered dose, respectively. The CYP4 family of enzymes was primarily responsible for the formation of M3 based on in vitro studies. Other metabolic pathways accounted for 14.9% of the administered dose. In pooled plasma, OM, M3, and M4 accounted for 83.8%, 6.0%, and 3.3% of the total [14C]OM-related materials. No other plasma metabolites constituted more than 3% of the administered dose. The bioavailability for OM solution was 93.5% after rapid and extensive absorption. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This study characterized the absorption and disposition of OM, a novel small molecule being developed for the treatment of heart failure. OM was primarily cleared through metabolism by the CYP4 family through oxidative cleavage of a terminal carbamate moiety that resembles hydrolysis.
