Abstract
Background and objective: Mitiperstat (AZD4831) is a novel irreversible oral myeloperoxidase inhibitor in clinical development for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of mitiperstat in healthy male Japanese and Chinese volunteers.
Methods: Three cohorts of eight Japanese participants were randomized to receive once-daily oral doses of mitiperstat 2.5, 5 or 10 mg or matching placebo for 10 days (six receiving mitiperstat and two receiving placebo, per cohort). One cohort of eight Chinese participants was randomized to receive mitiperstat 5 mg or matching placebo for 10 days (six receiving mitiperstat and two receiving placebo).
Results: Mitiperstat was rapidly absorbed, with a time to maximum plasma concentration of 1-2 h. Exposure was dose proportional over the investigated dose range, as assessed by area under the concentration-time curve and maximum and trough plasma concentrations. Steady state was reached within 10 days, and accumulation was observed, consistent with the observed long elimination half-life of mitiperstat (50.2-57.8 h). Except for a few events of maculopapular rash, mitiperstat up to 5 mg was well tolerated in participants of Japanese or Chinese origin.
Conclusions: The pharmacokinetics of mitiperstat were similar among Japanese and Chinese participants. These characteristics were similar to those in a previous multiple ascending-dose study in healthy primarily white and Black/African American volunteers. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics of mitiperstat do not affect dosing regimens in these different populations.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Drug Investigation provides rapid publication of original research covering all phases of clinical drug development and therapeutic use of drugs. The Journal includes:
-Clinical trials, outcomes research, clinical pharmacoeconomic studies and pharmacoepidemiology studies with a strong link to optimum prescribing practice for a drug or group of drugs.
-Clinical pharmacodynamic and clinical pharmacokinetic studies with a strong link to clinical practice.
-Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers in which significant implications for clinical prescribing are discussed.
-Studies focusing on the application of drug delivery technology in healthcare.
-Short communications and case study reports that meet the above criteria will also be considered.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Clinical Drug Investigation may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge, but non in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
