The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single oral doses of CH4987655 in healthy volunteers: target suppression using a biomarker
CH4987655 (RO4987655) is an orally active and highly selective small-molecule MEK inhibitor. It potently inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway activation and tumor cell growth, with an in vitro IC(50) of 5.2 nmol/L for inhibition of MEK1/2. Single-agent oral administration of C...

| Shrnutí: | CH4987655 (RO4987655) is an orally active and highly selective small-molecule MEK inhibitor. It potently inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway activation and tumor cell growth, with an in vitro IC(50) of 5.2 nmol/L for inhibition of MEK1/2. Single-agent oral administration of CH4987655 resulted in complete tumor regressions in xenograft models.
All 40 subjects received a single oral dose followed by 72 hrs of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety/tolerability assessments. The pharmacodynamics were measured by changes in phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) levels in a surrogate tissue peripheral blood mononuclear cells ex vivo stimulated by PMA.
Doses of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg were safe and well tolerated. No clinically significant safety event was observed. A total of 26 adverse events (n = 15) were reported: 21 mild, 5 moderate, and none severe. Moderate adverse events were experienced by one subject at 1 mg (autonomic nervous system imbalance) and three subjects at 4 mg (diarrhea, abdominal pain, autonomic nervous system and acne). CH4987655 was rapidly absorbed with a t(max) of approximately 1 h. Exposures were dose proportional from 0.5 to 4 mg. The disposition was biphasic with a terminal t(1/2) of approximately 25 hr. Intersubject variability was low, 9% to 23% for C(max) and 14% to 25% for area-under-the-curve (AUC). pERK inhibition was exposure dependent and was greater than 80% inhibition at higher doses. The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship was characterized by an inhibitory E(max) model (E(max) approximately 100%; IC(50) 40.6 ng/mL) using nonlinear mixed-effect modeling.
A significant extent of pERK inhibition was achieved for a single dose that was considered to be safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers. |
