Exploratory pharmacodynamics and efficacy of PF-06817024 in a Phase 1 study of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and atopic dermatitis.

PF-06817024 is a humanized antibody against interleukin-33 that has the potential to inhibit type 2 inflammation. An exploratory analysis of the pharmacodynamics and clinical effects of single and repeat doses of PF-06817024 was assessed in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), respectively, as part of a Phase 1, first-in-human study. Rhinosinusitis symptoms were improved, and nasal polyps were decreased in size following treatment with PF-06817024 in patients with CRSwNP.

Qualified kidney injury biomarkers demonstrate value during early clinical drug development.

Drug-induced kidney injury (DIKI) is of significant concern, both during drug development and in clinical practice. We report a patient-centric approach for clinical implementation of the FDA-qualified kidney safety biomarker panel, highlighting Phase 1 and 2 trials for candidate therapeutics in Pfizer's portfolio (PFE-1 and PFE-2, respectively) that induced kidney tubular injury in rat toxicity studies. Clusterin (CLU), cystatin-C (CysC), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase (NAG), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and osteopontin (OPN) were measured in urine samples from (i) Phase 1 healthy volunteers (HVs; n = 12) dosed with PFE-1, (ii) Phase 2 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (n = 266) dosed with PFE-2, (iii) lupus patients on standard-of-care therapies (n = 121), and (iv) healthy volunteers (n = 60).

Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of PF-06817024 in Healthy Participants, Participants with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps, and Participants with Atopic Dermatitis: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study.

PF-06817024 is a high affinity, humanized antibody that binds interleukin-33, a proinflammatory type 2 cytokine, and thereby has the potential to inhibit downstream type 2 inflammation. This Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 3 parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics of escalating single and limited repeat PF-06817024 doses in healthy participants (Part 1), a single dose of PF-06817024 in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Part 2), and repeat doses of PF-06817024 in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (atoptic dermatitis; Part 3). PF-06817024 was generally well tolerated in all participant populations.

A Phase 1 Study to Assess Mass Balance and Absolute Bioavailability of Zimlovisertib in Healthy Male Participants Using a C-Microtracer Approach.

Zimlovisertib (PF-06650833) is a selective, reversible inhibitor of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) with anti-inflammatory effects. This phase 1, open-label, fixed-sequence, two-period, single-dose study aimed to evaluate the mass balance and excretion rate of zimlovisertib in healthy male participants using a C-microtracer approach. All six participants received 300 mg C-zimlovisertib with lower radioactivity per mass unit orally in Period A, then unlabeled zimlovisertib 300 mg orally and C-zimlovisertib 135 μg intravenously (IV) in Period B.

The Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase 4 Inhibitor PF-06650833 Blocks Inflammation in Preclinical Models of Rheumatic Disease and in Humans Enrolled in a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To investigate the role of PF-06650833, a highly potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of interleukin-1-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4), in autoimmune pathophysiology in vitro, in vivo, and in the clinical setting.

Methods: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) inflammatory pathophysiology was modeled in vitro through 1) stimulation of primary human macrophages with anti-citrullinated protein antibody immune complexes (ICs), 2) RA fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) cultures stimulated with Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, as well as 3) additional human primary cell cocultures exposed to inflammatory stimuli. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathophysiology was simulated in human neutrophils, dendritic cells, B cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with TLR ligands and SLE patient ICs.

Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of PF-06650833, a selective interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4) inhibitor, in single and multiple ascending dose randomized phase 1 studies in healthy subjects.

Background: PF-06650833 is a potent, selective inhibitor of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4 (IRAK4). Two randomized, double-blind, sponsor-open phase 1 studies evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single (SAD) and multiple ascending doses (MAD) of PF-06650833 immediate-release (IR) and modified-release (MR) oral formulations in healthy adult subjects.

Methods: Study 1 (NCT02224651) was a 96-day, placebo-substitution, SAD study of once-daily (QD) oral PF-06650833 IR 1 to 6000 mg and MR 30 to 300 mg in fasted and fed states.
