Longitudinal "Real-World" Outcomes of Pirfenidone in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in Greece. [2022]Pirfenidone is an antifibrotic compound able to slow down disease progression in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
A phase 1, randomized study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GDC-3280, a potential novel anti-fibrotic small molecule, in healthy subjects. [2021]Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive lung disease. Although anti-fibrotic treatments, such as pirfenidone, are available that reduce the rate of disease progression, these medications have limitations in tolerability, and IPF patients still have poor prognoses. GDC-3280, an orally available small molecule that was designed to improve upon pirfenidone's activity, has anti-fibrotic activity in animal models. This first-in-human, phase 1 trial evaluated GDC-3280 to determine its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK).
External Control Arms in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Using Clinical Trial and Real-World Data Sources. [2023]Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease for which novel therapies are needed. External controls (ECs) could enhance IPF trial efficiency, but the direct comparability of ECs versus concurrent controls is unknown. Objectives: To develop IPF ECs by fit-for-purpose data standards to historical randomized clinical trial (RCT), multicenter registry (Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry), and electronic health record (EHR) data and to evaluate endpoint comparability among ECs and the phase II RCT of BMS-986020. Methods: After data curation, the rate of change in FVC from baseline to 26 weeks among participants receiving BMS-986020 600 mg twice daily was compared with the BMS-placebo arm and ECs using mixed-effects models with inverse probability weights. Measurements and Main Results: At 26 weeks, the rates of change in FVC were -32.71 ml for BMS-986020 and -130.09 ml for BMS-placebo (difference, 97.4 ml; 95% confidence interval [CI], 24.6-170.2), replicating the original BMS-986020 RCT. RCT ECs showed treatment effect point estimates within the 95% CI of the original BMS-986020 RCT. Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry ECs and EHR ECs experienced a slower rate of FVC decline compared with the BMS-placebo arm, resulting in treatment-effect point estimates outside of the 95% CI of the original BMS-986020 RCT. Conclusions: IPF ECs generated from historical RCT placebo arms result in comparable primary treatment effects to that of the original clinical trial, whereas ECs from real-world data sources, including registry or EHR data, do not. RCT ECs may serve as a potentially useful supplement to future IPF RCTs.
NO-releasing xanthine KMUP-1 bonded by simvastatin attenuates bleomycin-induced lung inflammation and delayed fibrosis. [2022]Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressing lung injury initiated by pulmonary inflammation (PI). Bleomycin (BLM) is the most common pathogenesis of PF through early PI and extensive extracellular matrix deposition. This study is aimed to determine whether NO-releasing KMUP-1 inhibits PI and PF, and if so, the benefits of KMUP-1S resulted from simvastatin (SIM)-bonding to KMUP-1.
Plain language summary: Clinical study of BI 1015550 as a potential treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. [2023]Label="WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT?" NlmCategory="UNASSIGNED">This plain language summary describes the main findings from a trial in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (also called IPF) that was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. IPF is a rare disease, where the lungs become more and more scarred, with breathing and oxygen uptake becoming increasingly difficult. This trial looked at the medication BI 1015550 as a potential treatment for IPF. It compared BI 1015550 to placebo (a dummy drug that does not contain any active ingredients) to investigate the effectiveness of the drug in treating people with IPF. The study also looked at the additional medical issues (referred to as adverse events) reported during the study. Some participants took approved treatments to reduce scarring (nintedanib or pirfenidone), and some did not.
Phase 2 trial design of BMS-986278, a lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) antagonist, in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) or progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD). [2022]Label="INTRODUCTION" NlmCategory="BACKGROUND">Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-IPF, progressive fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILD), are associated with a progressive loss of lung function and a poor prognosis. Treatment with antifibrotic agents can slow, but not halt, disease progression, and treatment discontinuation because of adverse events is common. Fibrotic diseases such as these can be mediated by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which signals via six LPA receptors (LPA1-6). Signalling via LPA1 appears to be fundamental in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases. BMS-986278, a second-generation LPA1 antagonist, is currently in phase 2 development as a therapy for IPF and PF-ILD.
A Randomized Phase 1 Evaluation of Deupirfenidone, a Novel Deuterium-Containing Drug Candidate for Interstitial Lung Disease and Other Inflammatory and Fibrotic Diseases. [2022]LYT-100 (deupirfenidone) is a selectively deuterated form of pirfenidone under development for the treatment of inflammatory and fibrotic diseases, including interstitial lung disease. Adverse events associated with antifibrotics can be a barrier to adoption and persistence in patients with interstitial lung diseases, most of whom are not on standard-of-care therapy. LYT-100 is designed to have a differentiated pharmacokinetic (PK) profile from pirfenidone and could offer a differentiated safety profile compared to current standard-of-care drugs while retaining the biochemical potency and specificity of pirfenidone. We conducted a phase 1b study to ascertain the safety, tolerability, steady-state PK profile, and food effect of LYT-100. This was a 2-part study. Part 1 assessed multiple ascending doses of LYT-100 from 100, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 mg twice daily given over 5 days without titration. Part 2 assessed the effects of fed vs fasting conditions on the PK profile of a single 500-mg dose of LYT-100. All doses up to 1000 mg were well tolerated, with adverse events being mild and transient. Exposure was slightly lower in the fed condition. LYT-100 was well tolerated and has a dose-proportional PK profile. The ratio of parent to major metabolite concentration was higher than reported with pirfenidone, which is consistent with an effect of deuteration on metabolism. No maximum tolerated dose was identified up to 1000 mg twice-daily dosing. These results support further clinical development of LYT-100, particularly considering the adverse event profile of current standard-of-care drugs.
LPA1 antagonist BMS-986020 changes collagen dynamics and exerts antifibrotic effects in vitro and in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. [2022]Label="BACKGROUND" NlmCategory="BACKGROUND">Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating lung disease with limited treatment options. A phase 2 trial (NCT01766817) showed that twice-daily treatment with BMS-986020, a lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) antagonist, significantly decreased the slope of forced vital capacity (FVC) decline over 26 weeks compared with placebo in patients with IPF. This analysis aimed to better understand the impact of LPA1 antagonism on extracellular matrix (ECM)-neoepitope biomarkers and lung function through a post hoc analysis of the phase 2 study, along with an in vitro fibrogenesis model.
Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Trial of BMS-986020, a Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor Antagonist for the Treatment of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. [2019]Label="BACKGROUND">Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) causes irreversible loss of lung function. The lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1 (LPA1) pathway is implicated in IPF etiology. Safety and efficacy of BMS-986020, a high-affinity LPA1 antagonist, was assessed vs placebo in a phase 2 study in patients with IPF.
