Abstract
Anacetrapib, a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitor previously under development, exhibited an usually extended terminal half-life and large food effect and accumulated in adipose tissue. Other CETP inhibitors have not shown such effects. Obicetrapib, a potent selective CETP inhibitor, is undergoing Phase III clinical development. Dedicated assessments were conducted in pre-clinical and Phase I and II clinical studies of obicetrapib to examine the pharmacokinetic issues observed with anacetrapib. After 9 months of dosing up to 50 mg/kg/day in cynomolgus monkeys, obicetrapib was completely eliminated from systemic circulation and not detected in adipose tissue after a 13-week recovery period. In healthy humans receiving 1-25 mg of obicetrapib, the mean terminal half-life of obicetrapib was 148, 131, and 121 h at 5, 10, and 25 mg, respectively, and food increased plasma levels by ~1.6-fold with a 10 mg dose. At the end of treatment in Phase II trials, mean plasma levels of obicetrapib ranged from 194.5 ng/mL with 2.5 mg to 506.3 ng/mL with 10 mg. Plasma levels of obicetrapib decreased by 92.2% and 98.5% at four and 15 weeks post-treatment, respectively. Obicetrapib shows no clinically relevant accumulation, is minimally affected by food, and has a mean terminal half-life of 131 h for the 10 mg dose. These data support once daily, chronic dosing of obicetrapib in Phase III trials for dyslipidemia management.
期刊介绍:
PR&P is jointly published by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET), the British Pharmacological Society (BPS), and Wiley. PR&P is a bi-monthly open access journal that publishes a range of article types, including: target validation (preclinical papers that show a hypothesis is incorrect or papers on drugs that have failed in early clinical development); drug discovery reviews (strategy, hypotheses, and data resulting in a successful therapeutic drug); frontiers in translational medicine (drug and target validation for an unmet therapeutic need); pharmacological hypotheses (reviews that are oriented to inform a novel hypothesis); and replication studies (work that refutes key findings [failed replication] and work that validates key findings). PR&P publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from the journals of ASPET and the BPS
