A first-in-human study of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PF-06741086, an anti-tissue factor pathway inhibitor mAb, in healthy volunteers.

Essentials Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an antagonist of FXa and the TF-FVIIa complex. PF-06741086 is an IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets the Kunitz-2 domain of TFPI. Single doses of PF-06741086 were evaluated in a phase 1 study in healthy volunteers. Data from this study support further investigation of PF-06741086 in individuals with hemophilia. Background Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a protease inhibitor of the tissue factor-activated factor VII complex and activated FX. PF-06741086 is a mAb that targets TFPI to increase clotting activity. Objectives This study was a randomized, double-blind, sponsor-open, placebo-controlled, single intravenous or subcutaneous dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PF-06741086. Patients/Methods Volunteers who provided written informed consent were assigned to cohorts with escalating dose levels. Safety endpoints included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), infusion/injection site reactions, vital signs, electrocardiogram, and coagulation and hematology laboratory parameters. Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) endpoints included exposures of PF-06741086 in plasma and measures of PF-06741086 pharmacology, respectively. Results Forty-one male volunteers were recruited overall. Thirty-two were dosed with PF-06741086 from 30 mg subcutaneously to 440 mg intravenously. All doses were safe and well tolerated. TEAEs were mild or moderate in severity, laboratory abnormalities were transient, there were no serious adverse events, there were no infusion/injection site reactions, and no dose escalation stopping criteria were met. Plasma exposures of PF-06741086 increased greater than proportionally with dose under the same dosing route. Coagulation pharmacology was demonstrated via total TFPI, dilute prothrombin time, D-dimer, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 and thrombin generation assay parameters. Conclusions Single doses of PF-06741086 at multiple dose levels were safe and well tolerated in a healthy adult male population. The safety, PK and PD data from this study support progression to a multiple-dose study in hemophilic patients.

Phase 1 dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of a recombinant factor Xa variant (FXa(I16L) ).

Essentials FXaI16L is a recombinant zymogen-like variant of activated coagulation factor X (FXa). A phase 1 dose escalation clinical trial of FXaI16L was conducted in healthy adults. FXaI16L was safe and tolerated at doses up to 5 μg/kg; no dose-limiting toxicity was observed. Data support further development of FXaI16L for patients with acute hemorrhagic conditions. Background FXaI16L (PF-05230907) is a zymogen-like variant of activated factor X (FXa). It shows enhanced resistance to inactivation by endogenous inhibitors as compared with wild-type FXa, and restores hemostatic activity in non-clinical models of various bleeding conditions. Objectives To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of FXaI16L by performing a phase 1, first-in-human, dose-escalation clinical trial in healthy adult volunteers. Methods Participants were assigned to one of six ascending single-dose cohorts (0.1, 0.3, 1, 2, 3 or 5 μg kg-1 ), each planned to comprise six volunteers treated with FXaI16L and two treated with placebo. Assessments included safety monitoring, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PD) analyses, and immunogenicity testing. Results The trial enrolled 49 male volunteers. Administration of a single intravenous bolus dose of FXaI16L was safe and tolerated at all dose levels tested, with no dose-limiting toxicity or serious adverse events. FXaI16L plasma levels appeared to increase dose-proportionally, with a half-life of ~ 4 min. Treatment-related PD changes were observed for activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin generation assay, thrombin-antithrombin complexes, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2, and D-dimer. One volunteer had a weak and transient non-neutralizing antidrug antibody response, which did not cross-react with native FX or native FXa. Conclusions FXaI16L was safe and tolerated, and showed a pharmacologic effect in healthy adults when administered at doses up to 5 μg kg-1 . The safety profile, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics observed in this clinical trial support the further development of FXaI16L for hemostatic treatment in individuals with acute hemorrhagic conditions.

A Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single- and multiple-dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of PF-06835375, a C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5 directed antibody, in patients with systemic

The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of PF‑06835375, a potent selective afucosyl immunoglobulin G1 antibody targeting C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CXCR5) that potentially depletes B cells, follicular T helper (Tfh) cells, and circulating Tfh-like (cTfh) cells, in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This first-in-human, multicenter, double-blind, sponsor-open, placebo-controlled Phase 1 study recruited patients aged 18-70 years with SLE or RA. In Part A, patients received single doses of intravenous PF-06835375 (dose range: 0.03-6 mg) or placebo in six sequential single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts. In Part B, patients received repeat doses of subcutaneous PF-06835375 (dose range: 0.3-10 mg) or placebo on Days 1 and 29 in five multiple ascending dose (MAD) cohorts. Tetanus/Diphtheria (Td) and Meningococcal B (MenB/Trumenba™) vaccines were administered at Day 4 (Td and MenB) and Week 8 (MenB only) to assess PF-06835375 functional effects. Endpoints included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), pharmacokinetic parameters, pharmacodynamic effects on B and cTfh cells, and biomarker counts, vaccine response, and exploratory differential gene expression analysis. Safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic endpoints are summarized descriptively. The change from baseline of B and Tfh cell-specific genes over time was calculated using a prespecified mixed-effects model, with a false discovery rate < 0.05 considered statistically significant. In total, 73 patients were treated (SAD cohorts: SLE, n = 17; RA, n = 14; MAD cohorts: SLE, n = 22; RA, n = 20). Mean age was 53.3 years. Sixty-two (84.9%) patients experienced TEAEs (placebo n = 17; PF-06835375 n = 45); most were mild or moderate. Three (9.7%) patients experienced serious adverse events. Mean t1/2 ranged from 3.4-121.4 h (SAD cohorts) and 162.0-234.0 h (MAD cohorts, Day 29). B and cTfh cell counts generally showed dose-dependent reductions across cohorts (range of mean maximum depletion: 67.3-99.3%/62.4-98.7% [SAD] and 91.1-99.6%/89.5-98.1% [MAD], respectively). B cell-related genes and pathways were significantly downregulated in patients treated with PF-06835375. These data support further development of PF-06835375 to assess the clinical potential for B and Tfh cell depletion as a treatment for autoimmune diseases.

Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of PF-06823859, an Anti-Interferon β Monoclonal Antibody: A Randomized, Phase I, Single- and Multiple-Ascending-Dose Study.

This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending, first-in-human study (NCT02766621) assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-06823859, an anti-interferon β monoclonal antibody. Healthy subjects were randomized to single ascending doses (SADs) of intravenous PF-06823859 30, 100, 300, 900, or 2000 mg or placebo; to multiple ascending doses (MADs) of subcutaneous PF-06823859 100 or 300 mg or placebo (once every 2 weeks for a total of 3 doses); or to MAD of intravenous PF-06823859 600 mg or placebo (once every 3 weeks or once every 4 weeks for a total of 2 doses). The incidence, severity, and causal relationship of adverse events (AEs) were assessed, along with immunogenicity and PK. In total, 62 subjects were randomized to treatment (SAD, n = 35; MAD, n = 27). There were 76 treatment-emergent all-causality AEs in the SAD (PF-06823859: n = 25; placebo: n = 4) and MAD (PF-06823859: n = 40; placebo: n = 7) cohorts. In the SAD cohorts, all treatment-emergent all-causality AEs were mild in severity; 4 AEs of moderate severity were identified in the MAD cohorts. No dose-limiting AEs, serious AEs, treatment-related discontinuations, dose reductions, or deaths occurred. PF-06823859 exposure increased dose-proportionally, with half-life values ranging between 23 and 35 days. The estimated subcutaneous bioavailability was 43% to 44%. Immunogenicity incidence rates were low (antidrug antibodies, 12.5%; neutralizing antibodies, 2.1%). No immunogenically related clinical responses of concern were observed. In conclusion, PF-06823859 demonstrated an acceptable safety, tolerability, and PK profile that supports clinical development for treating disorders associated with increased interferon β levels, such as dermatomyositis or systemic lupus erythematosus.
