Pharmacokinetics and tissue residues of albendazole sulphoxide and its metabolites in donkey after intramuscular injection.

BACKGROUND: Various anti-parasitic drugs are used to control donkey parasitic diseases. The abuse of donkey drugs leads to the disposition of residues in the edible parts of treated donkeys. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to (1) analyse the pharmacokinetics of ABZSO to serve as reference for the dosage regimen in donkey; and (2) calculate the withdrawal times of the ABZSO in the tissue of the donkey. METHODS: The concentrations of ABZSO and its metabolites in plasma and tissues were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet detector. Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed by the programme 3p97. RESULTS: The plasma concentrations of ABZSO and ABZSO2 concentration-time data in donkey conformed to the absorption one-compartment open model. The t 1 / 2 k e ${{{t1}} \!\mathord{/ {\vphantom { {2{{k}_{\mathrm{e}}}}}}}}$ of ABZSO was 0.67 h, whereas the t1/2 k e was 12.93 h; the Cmax and the Tp were calculated as 0.58 µg mL-1 and 3.01 h. The Vd/F of ABZSO was estimated to be 10.92 L kg-1; the area under the curve (AUC) was 12.81 µg mL-1 h. The Cmax and AUC values of ABZSO were higher than those of ABZSO2; however, t1/2 K e and Vd/F were lower. Other pharmacokinetics parameters were similar between the two metabolites. CONCLUSIONS: The results revealed that ABZSO2 was the main metabolite of ABZSO in donkey plasma. The concentrations of ABZSO and its chief metabolite (ABZSO2) were detected in liver, kidney, skin and muscle; however, ABZ-SO2NH2 was only detected in liver and kidney. The results also revealed that the depletion of ABZSO and its metabolite in donkey was longer, especially in skin.

[Pharmacokinetics of 11 active components of Psoraleae Fructus in normal and diabetic rats].

A total of 11 active ingredients including psoralen, isopsoralen, bakuchiol, bavachalcone, bavachinin, corylin, coryfolin, isobavachalcone, neobavaisoflavone, bakuchalcone, and corylifol A from Psoraleae Fructus in the plasma samples of diabetic and normal rats were simultaneously determined by UHPLC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated to elucidate the pharmacokinetic profiles of coumarins, flavonoids, and monoterpene phenols in normal and diabetic rats. The rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) was induced by a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with injection of 1% streptozotocin every two days. The plasma samples were collected at different time points after the rats were administrated with Psoraleae Fructus. The proteins in the plasma samples were precipitated by ethyl acetate, and the plasma concentrations of the 11 components of Psoraleae Fructus were determined by UHPLC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 3.0. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic beha-viors of 8 components including psoralen, isopsoralen, bakuchiol, and bavachinin from Psoraleae Fructus in both female and male mo-del rats were significantly different from those in normal rats. Among them, the coumarins including psoralen, isopsoralen, and corylin showed lowered levels in the blood of both female and male model rats. The flavonoids(bavachinin, corylifol A, and bakuchalcone) and the monoterpene phenol bakuchiol showed decreased levels in the female model rats but elevated levels in the male model rats. It is suggested that the dosage of Psoraleae Fructus should be reasonably adjusted for the patients of different genders at the time of clinical administration.

[Comparison of in vivo pharmacokinetics of twelve constituents in Qihe Fenqing Yin in normal rats and diabetic rats].

This paper aims to study the pharmacokinetic differences of twelve effective constituents(succinic acid, neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde, caffeic acid, 5-O-ferulogeninic acid, p-coumaric acid, nuciferine, quercetin, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid) in Qihe Fenqing Yin in normal and diabetic rats. The diabetic rat model was established by a high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin. A UHPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS method was established for the simultaneous determination of 12 constituents in the plasma of normal rats and model rats after a single intragastric administration of Qihe Fenqing Yin. The results show that the established analytical method has a good linear relationship with the 12 components, and the specificity, accuracy, precision, and stability meet the requirements. The computational pharmacokinetic parameters are fitted by DAS 3.2.8 software, and the results show that the half-life time(t_(1/2)) of the other nine components in the model group was longer than that in the normal group except for caffeic acid, 5-O-ferulogeninic acid, and oleanolic acid. The area under curve(AUC_(0-t)) of cryptochlorogenic acid, p-coumaric acid, ursolic acid, and oleanolic acid increases compared with the normal group. Meanwhile, mean residence time(MRT) delays. The "double peaks" of quercetin and nuciferine in the normal group are not observed in the model group, suggesting that the pharmacokinetic parameters of the drugs in the disease state are significantly different.

Pharmacometric in silico studies used to facilitate a national dose standardisation process in neonatology - application to amikacin.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pharmacometric in silico approaches are frequently applied to guide decisions concerning dosage regimes during the development of new medicines. We aimed to demonstrate how such pharmacometric modelling and simulation can provide a scientific rationale for optimising drug doses in the context of the Swiss national dose standardisation project in paediatrics using amikacin as a case study. METHODS: Amikacin neonatal dosage is stratified by post-menstrual age (PMA) and post-natal age (PNA) in Switzerland and many other countries. Clinical concerns have been raised for the subpopulation of neonates with a post-menstrual age of 30-35 weeks and a post-natal age of 0-14 days ("subpopulation of clinical concern"), as potentially oto-/nephrotoxic trough concentrations (Ctrough >5 mg/l) were observed with a once-daily dose of 15 mg/kg. We applied a two-compartmental population pharmacokinetic model (amikacin clearance depending on birth weight and post-natal age) to real-world demographic data from 1563 neonates receiving anti-infectives (median birth weight 2.3 kg, median post-natal age six days) and performed pharmacometric dose-exposure simulations to identify extended dosing intervals that would ensure non-toxic Ctrough (Ctrough <5 mg/l) dosages in most neonates. RESULTS: In the subpopulation of clinical concern, Ctrough <5 mg/l was predicted in 59% versus 79-99% of cases in all other subpopulations following the current recommendations. Elevated Ctrough values were associated with a post-natal age of less than seven days. Simulations showed that extending the dosing interval to ≥36 h in the subpopulation of clinical concern increased the frequency of a desirable Ctrough below 5 mg/l to >80%. CONCLUSION: Pharmacometric in silico studies using high-quality real-world demographic data can provide a scientific rationale for national paediatric dose optimisation. This may increase clinical acceptance of fine-tuned standardised dosing recommendations and support their implementation, including in vulnerable subpopulations.

Modeling Developmental Changes in Caffeine Clearance Considering Differences between Pre- and Postnatal Period.

Taguchi et al. reported that postmenstrual age (PMA) is a promising factor in describing and understanding the developmental change of caffeine (CAF) clearance. The aim of the present study was to quantify how developmental changes occur and to determine the effect of the length of the gestational period on CAF clearance. We performed a nonlinear mixed effect model (NONMEM) analysis and evaluated the fit of six models. A total of 115 samples were obtained from 52 patients with a mean age of 34.3 ± 18.2 d. The median values of gestational age (GA) and postnatal age (PNA) were 196 and 31 d, respectively. Serum CAF levels corrected for dose per body surface area (BSA) (C/D ratioBSA) were dependent on PMA rather than PNA, which supports the findings of a previous study. NONMEM analysis provided the following final model of oral clearance: CL/F = 0.00603∙WT∙∙0.877GA ≤ 196 L/h. This model takes into account developmental changes during prenatal and postnatal periods separately. The model successfully described the variation in clearance of CAF. Our findings suggest that the dosage of CAF in preterm infants should be determined based not only on body weight (WT) but also on both PNA and GA.

Discovery of Novel Aryl Triazolone Dihydropyridines (ATDPs) Targeting Highly Conserved Residue W229 as Promising HIV-1 NNRTIs.

NNRTI is an important component of the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but the rapid emergence of drug resistance and poor pharmacokinetics limited their clinical application. Herein, a series of novel aryl triazolone dihydropyridines (ATDPs) were designed by structure-guided design with the aim of improving drug resistance profiles and pharmacokinetic profiles. Compound 10n (EC50 = 0.009-17.7 µM) exhibited the most active potency, being superior to or comparable to that of doravirine (DOR) against the whole tested viral panel. Molecular docking was performed to clarify the reason for its higher resistance profiles. Moreover, 10n demonstrated excellent pharmacokinetic profile (T1/2 = 5.09 h, F = 108.96%) compared that of DOR (T1/2 = 4.4 h, F = 57%). Additionally, 10n was also verified to have no in vivo acute or subacute toxicity (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg), suggesting that 10n is worth further investigation as a novel oral NNRTIs for HIV-1 therapy.

Predicting drug-drug interactions in breast cancer patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors and forward planning.

INTRODUCTION: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors are cornerstones in the treatment of Hormone Receptor (HR) positive and Human Epidermal Growth factor (HER2) negative metastatic breast cancer. Given their widespread use in the metastatic setting and emerging use in the adjuvant setting, studying drug-drug interactions (DDI) of these medications is of utmost importance. AREAS COVERED: This review provides key background information on the CDK4/6 inhibitors, palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib. We discuss drug-drug interactions including those with proton pump inhibitors as well as CYP3A substrates, inhibitors, and inducers. We describe the effect of these drugs on membrane transporters and their substrates as well as those drugs that increase risk of CDK4/6 toxicities. Finally, we explore future directions for strategies to minimize drug-drug interactions. EXPERT OPINION: It is crucial to be mindful of medications that may interfere with drug absorption, such as proton pump inhibitors, as well as those that interfere with drug metabolism, such as CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. Additionally, special consideration should be given to populations at higher risk for polypharmacy, such as older patients with greater comorbidities. These interactions and patient characteristics should be considered when developing individual treatment plans with CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Molecular Imaging of Alzheimer's Disease-Related Sigma-1 Receptor in the Brain via a Novel Ru-Mediated Aromatic 18F-deoxyfluorination Probe.

Sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) is an intracellular protein implicated in a spectrum of neurodegenerative conditions, notably Alzheimer's disease (AD). Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of brain σ1R could provide a powerful tool for better understanding the underlying pathomechanism of σ1R in AD. In this study, we successfully developed a 18F-labeled σ1R radiotracer [18F]CNY-05 via an innovative ruthenium (Ru)-mediated 18F-deoxyfluorination method. [18F]CNY-05 exhibited preferable brain uptake, high specific binding, and slightly reversible pharmacokinetics within the PET scanning time window. PET imaging of [18F]CNY-05 in nonhuman primates (NHP) indicated brain permeability, metabolic stability, and safety. Moreover, autoradiography and PET studies of [18F]CNY-05 in the AD mouse model found a significantly decreased brain uptake compared to that in wild-type mice. Collectively, we have provided a novel 18F-radiolabeled σ1R PET probe, which enables visualizing brain σ1R in health and neurological diseases.

Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Evaluation of Spiro[carbazole-3,3'-pyrrolidine] Derivatives as cGAS Inhibitors for Treatment of Acute Lung Injury.

Overactivation of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is implicated in the occurrence of many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and inhibition of cGAS with a specific inhibitor has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy. However, only a few low-potency cGAS inhibitors have been reported, and few are suitable for clinical investigation. As a continuation of our structural optimization on the reported cGAS inhibitor 6 (G140), we developed a series of spiro[carbazole-3,3'-pyrrolidine] derivatives bearing a unique 2-azaspiro[4.5]decane structural motif, among which compound 30d-S was identified with high cellular effects against cGAS. This compound showed improved plasma exposure, lower clearance, and an oral bioavailability of 35% in rats. Moreover, in the LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALI) mice model, oral administration of compound 30d-S at 30 mg/kg markedly reduced lung inflammation and alleviated histopathological changes. These results confirm that 30d-S is a new efficacious cGAS inhibitor and is worthy of further investigation.

Rational Design of a Novel Class of Human ClpP Agonists through a Ring-Opening Strategy with Enhanced Antileukemia Activity.

The activation of Homo sapiens Casein lysing protease P (HsClpP) by a chemical or genetic strategy has been proved to be a new potential therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, limited efficacy has been achieved with classic agonist imipridone ONC201. Here, a novel class of HsClpP agonists is designed and synthesized using a ring-opening strategy based on the lead compound 1 reported in our previous study. Among these novel scaffold agonists, compound 7k exhibited remarkably enhanced proteolytic activity of HsClpP (EC50 = 0.79 ± 0.03 µM) and antitumor activity in vitro (IC50 = 0.038 ± 0.003 µM). Moreover, the intraperitoneal administration of compound 7k markedly suppressed tumor growth in Mv4-11 xenograft models, achieving a tumor growth inhibition rate of 88%. Concurrently, 7k displayed advantageous pharmacokinetic properties in vivo. This study underscores the promise of compound 7k as a significant HsClpP agonist and an antileukemia drug candidate, warranting further exploration for AML treatment.

Novel CDK19-Targeted Radiotracers: A Potential Design Strategy to Improve the Pharmacokinetics and Tumor Uptake.

Cyclin-dependent kinase 19 (CDK19) is overexpressed in prostate cancer, making it an attractive target for both imaging and therapy. Since little is known about the optimized approach for radioligands of nuclear proteins, linker optimization strategies were used to improve pharmacokinetics and tumor absorption, including the adjustment of the length, flexibility/rigidity, and hydrophilicity/lipophilicity of linkers. Molecular docking was conducted for virtual screening and followed by IC50 determination. Both BALB/c mice and P-16 xenografts were used for tissue distribution and PET/CT imaging. The ligand 68Ga-10c demonstrated high absorption in tumor 5 min after injection and sustains long-term imaging within 3 h. Furthermore, 68Ga-10c exhibited slow clearance within the tumor and was predominantly metabolized in both the liver and kidneys, showing the potential to alleviate metabolic pressure and enhance tissue safety. Therefore, the linker optimization strategy is well suited for CDK19 and provides a reference for the radioactive ligands of other nuclear targets.

Development and Initial Characterization of the First 18F-CXCR2-Targeting Radiotracer for PET Imaging of Neutrophils.

The interleukin-8 receptor beta (CXCR2) is a highly promising target for molecular imaging of inflammation and inflammatory diseases. This is due to its almost exclusive expression on neutrophils. Modified fluorinated ligands were designed based on a squaramide template, with different modification sites and synthetic strategies explored. Promising candidates were then tested for affinity to CXCR2 in a NanoBRET competition assay, resulting in tracer candidate 16b. As direct 18F-labeling using established tosyl chemistry did not yield the expected radiotracer, an indirect labeling approach was developed. The radiotracer [18F]16b was obtained with a radiochemical yield of 15% using tert-butyl (S)-3-(tosyloxy)pyrrolidine carboxylate and a pentafluorophenol ester. The subsequent time-dependent uptake of [18F]16b in CXCR2-negative and CXCR2-overexpressing human embryonic kidney cells confirmed the radiotracer's specificity. Further studies with human neutrophils revealed its diagnostic potential for functional imaging of neutrophils.

Discovery of Highly Potent Solute Carrier 13 Member 5 (SLC13A5) Inhibitors for the Treatment of Hyperlipidemia.

In the face of escalating metabolic disease prevalence, largely driven by modern lifestyle factors, this study addresses the critical need for novel therapeutic approaches. We have identified the sodium-coupled citrate transporter (NaCT or SLC13A5) as a target for intervention. Utilizing rational drug design, we developed a new class of SLC13A5 inhibitors, anchored by the hydroxysuccinic acid scaffold, refining the structure of PF-06649298. Among these, LBA-3 emerged as a standout compound, exhibiting remarkable potency with an IC50 value of 67 nM, significantly improving upon PF-06649298. In vitro assays demonstrated LBA-3's efficacy in reducing triglyceride levels in OPA-induced HepG2 cells. Moreover, LBA-3 displayed superior pharmacokinetic properties and effectively lowered triglyceride and total cholesterol levels in diverse mouse models (PCN-stimulated and starvation-induced), without detectable toxicity. These findings not only spotlight LBA-3 as a promising candidate for hyperlipidemia treatment but also exemplify the potential of targeted molecular design in advancing metabolic disorder therapeutics.

Discovery of Potent and Selective PI3Kδ Inhibitors for the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

PI3Kδ is an essential target correlated to the occurrence and development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Herein, we investigated the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives as potent and selective PI3Kδ inhibitors with high therapeutic efficacy toward AML. There were 44 compounds designed and prepared in a four-round optimization, and the biological evaluation showed that (S)-36 exhibited potent PI3Kδ inhibitory activity, high selectivity, and high antiproliferative activities against MV-4-11 and MOLM-13 cells, coupled with high oral bioavailability (F = 59.6%). In the MOLM-13 subcutaneous xenograft model, (S)-36 could significantly suppress the tumor progression with a TGI of 67.81% at an oral administration dosage of 10 mg/kg without exhibiting obvious toxicity. Mechanistically, (S)-36 could robustly inhibit the PI3K/AKT pathway for significant suppression of cell proliferation and remarkable induction of apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, compound (S)-36 represents a promising PI3Kδ inhibitor for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia with high efficacy.

Discovery of Novel Heterotricyclic Compounds as DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase (DNA-PK) Inhibitors with Enhanced Chemosensitivity, Oral Bioavailability, and the Ability to Potentiate Cancer Immunotherapy.

In this work, a novel series of heterotricyclic DNA-PK inhibitors were rationally designed, synthesized, and assessed for their biological activity. In the DNA-PK biochemical assay, most compounds displayed potent enzymatic activity, with IC50 values between 0.11 and 71.5 nM. Among them, SK10 exhibited the most potent DNA-PK-inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.11 nM). Studies of the mechanism of action indicated that SK10 could lower γH2A.X expression levels and demonstrate optimal synergistic antiproliferative activity against Jurkat cells (IC50 = 25 nM) when combined with doxorubicin. Importantly, in CT26 and B16-F10 tumor-bearing mouse models, the combination therapies of SK10 with chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin, a PD-L1 antibody, and SWS1 (a potent PD-L1 small-molecule inhibitor) demonstrated superior synergistic anticancer and potential immunomodulatory effects. Furthermore, SK10 possessed favorable in vivo pharmacokinetic properties [e.g., oral bioavailability (F) = 31.8%]. Taken together, SK10 represents a novel heterotricyclic DNA-PK inhibitor with antitumor immune effects and favorable pharmacokinetics.

Discovery of a Novel CSF-1R Inhibitor with Highly Improved Pharmacokinetic Profiles and Superior Efficacy in Colorectal Cancer Immunotherapy.

Blocking CSF-1/CSF-1R pathway has emerged as a promising strategy to remodel tumor immune microenvironment (TME) by reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). In this work, a novel CSF-1R inhibitor C19 with a highly improved pharmacokinetic profile and in vivo anticolorectal cancer (CRC) efficiency was successfully discovered. C19 could effectively reprogram M2-like TAMs to M1 phenotype and reshape the TME by inducing the recruitment of CD8+ T cells into tumors and reducing the infiltration of immunosuppressive Tregs/MDSCs. Deeper mechanistic studies revealed that C19 facilitated the infiltration of CD8+ T cells by enhancing the secretion of chemokine CXCL9, thus significantly potentiating the anti-CRC efficiency of PD-1 blockade. More importantly, C19 combined with PD-1 mAb could induce durable antitumor immune memory, effectively overcoming the recurrence of CRC. Taken together, our findings suggest that C19 is a promising therapeutic option for sensitizing CRC to anti-PD-1 therapy.

Discovery of TNG908: A Selective, Brain Penetrant, MTA-Cooperative PRMT5 Inhibitor That Is Synthetically Lethal with MTAP-Deleted Cancers.

It has been shown that PRMT5 inhibition by small molecules can selectively kill cancer cells with homozygous deletion of the MTAP gene if the inhibitors can leverage the consequence of MTAP deletion, namely, accumulation of the MTAP substrate MTA. Herein, we describe the discovery of TNG908, a potent inhibitor that binds the PRMT5·MTA complex, leading to 15-fold-selective killing of MTAP-deleted (MTAP-null) cells compared to MTAPintact (MTAP WT) cells. TNG908 shows selective antitumor activity when dosed orally in mouse xenograft models, and its physicochemical properties are amenable for crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), supporting clinical study for the treatment of both CNS and non-CNS tumors with MTAP loss.

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic evaluation of gamithromycin against rabbit pasteurellosis.

BACKGROUND: Gamithromycin is an effective therapy for bovine and swine respiratory diseases but not utilized for rabbits. Given its potent activity against respiratory pathogens, we sought to determine the pharmacokinetic profiles, antimicrobial activity and target pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) exposures associated with therapeutic effect of gamithromycin against Pasteurella multocida in rabbits. RESULTS: Gamithromycin showed favorable PK properties in rabbits, including high subcutaneous bioavailability (86.7 ± 10.7%) and low plasma protein binding (18.5-31.9%). PK analysis identified a mean plasma peak concentration (Cmax) of 1.64 ± 0.86 mg/L and terminal half-life (T1/2) of 31.5 ± 5.74 h after subcutaneous injection. For P. multocida, short post-antibiotic effects (PAE) (1.1-5.3 h) and post-antibiotic sub-inhibitory concentration effects (PA-SME) (6.6-9.1 h) were observed after exposure to gamithromycin at 1 to 4× minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Gamithromycin demonstrated concentration-dependent bactericidal activity and the PK/PD index area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h (AUC24h)/MIC correlated well with efficacy (R2 > 0.99). The plasma AUC24h/MIC ratios of gamithromycin associated with the bacteriostatic, bactericidal and bacterial eradication against P. multocida were 15.4, 24.9 and 27.8 h in rabbits, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Subcutaneous administration of 6 mg/kg gamithromycin reached therapeutic concentrations in rabbit plasma against P. multocida. The PK/PD ratios determined herein in combination with ex vivo activity and favorable rabbit PK indicate that gamithromycin may be used for the treatment of rabbit pasteurellosis.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of mibavademab (a leptin receptor agonist): Results from a first-in-human phase I study.

Mibavademab (previously known as REGN4461), a fully human monoclonal antibody, is being investigated for the treatment of conditions associated with leptin deficiency. Here, we report pharmacokinetics (PKs), pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity from a phase I study in healthy participants (NCT03530514). In part A, lean or overweight healthy participants were randomized to single-ascending-dose cohorts of 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, 10, and 30 mg/kg intravenous (i.v.), or 300 and 600 mg subcutaneous doses of mibavademab or placebo. In part B, overweight or obese participants were randomized to receive multiple doses of mibavademab (15 mg/kg i.v. loading dose and 10 mg/kg i.v. at weeks 3, 6, and 9) or placebo, stratified by body mass index and baseline leptin levels: low leptin (<5 ng/mL) or relatively low leptin (5-8 ng/mL in men and 5-24 ng/mL in women). Fifty-six and 55 participants completed the single-ascending-dose and multiple-dose parts, respectively. In the single-ascending-dose cohorts, mibavademab PKs were nonlinear with target-mediated elimination, greater than dose-proportional increases in exposure, and there were no dose-dependent differences in total soluble leptin receptor (sLEPR) levels in serum over time. Following multiple-dose administration of mibavademab in participants with leptin <8 ng/mL, lower mean mibavademab concentrations, higher mean total sLEPR concentrations, and larger mean decreases in body weight than in the relatively low leptin cohorts were observed. Baseline leptin was correlated with mibavademab PKs and pharmacodynamics. No treatment-emergent anti-mibavademab antibodies were observed in any mibavademab-treated participant. Results from this study collectively inform further development of mibavademab to treat conditions associated with leptin deficiency.
