Objective— Factor XI (FXI) contributes to thrombotic disease while playing a limited role in normal hemostasis. We generated a unique, humanized anti-FXI antibody, AB023, which blocks factor XIIa-mediated FXI activation without inhibiting FXI activation by thrombin or the procoagulant function of FXIa. We sought to confirm the antithrombotic activity of AB023 in a baboon thrombosis model and to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics in healthy adult subjects. Approach and Results— In a primate model of acute vascular graft thrombosis, AB023 reduced platelet and fibrin accumulation within the grafts by >75%. To evaluate the safety of AB023, we performed a first-in-human study in healthy adult volunteers without any serious adverse events. Overall, 10 of 21 (48%) subjects experienced 20 treatment-emergent adverse events, with 7 of 16 (44%) subjects following active treatment and 3 of 5 (60%) subjects following placebo. AB023 did not increase bleeding or prothrombin times. Anticoagulation was verified by a saturable ≈2-fold prolongation of the partial thromboplastin time for over 1 month after the highest dose. Conclusions— AB023, which inhibits contact activation-initiated blood coagulation in vitro and experimental thrombus formation in primates, produced a dose-dependent duration of limited anticoagulation without drug-related adverse effects in a phase 1 trial. When put in context with earlier observations suggesting that FXI contributes to venous thromboembolism and cardiovascular disease, although contributing minimally to hemostasis, our data further justify clinical evaluation of AB023 in conditions where contact-initiated FXI activation is suspected to have a pathogenic role.

ABSTRACT Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a serious complication of infection by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) is responsible for the renal toxicity that can follow intestinal infection and hemorrhagic colitis due to E. coli. A chimeric mouse-human antibody, designated cαStx2, that has neutralizing activity in a mouse model was produced and tested in healthy adult volunteers. In this phase I dose escalation study, cαStx2 was generally well tolerated. Pharmacokinetic studies indicated that clearance was stable over the dose range of 1.0 to 10 mg/kg of body weight (0.249 ± 0.023 ml/kg/h) but was higher for the 0.1-mg/kg dose (0.540 ± 0.078 ml/kg/h), suggesting saturable elimination. A similar nonlinear trend was observed for the volume of distribution, where average values ranged from 0.064 ± 0.015 liter/kg for the 1.0- to 10-mg/kg doses and 0.043 ± 0.005 for the 0.01-mg/kg dose. The relatively small volume of distribution suggests that the antibody is limited to the vascular (plasma) compartment. The mean half-life was 165 ± 66 h, with lowest values observed for the 0.1-mg/kg dose (56.2 ± 9.7 h) and the highest values reported for the 10.0-mg/kg dose (206.4 ± 12.4 h). Future studies are needed to confirm the safety of this cαStx2, and innovative clinical trials will be required to measure its efficacy in preventing or treating HUS.

ABSTRACT Bedaquiline is a diarylquinoline that specifically inhibits mycobacterial ATP synthase. Bedaquiline has been used to effectively treat tuberculosis (TB) caused by drug-susceptible and drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rifamycins are a cornerstone of combination drug regimens for the treatment of TB. This phase 1, open-label, randomized, controlled trial evaluated the effect of steady-state dosing of rifabutin or rifampin on the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of bedaquiline given as a single dose. Thirty-three healthy subjects were enrolled to receive a 400-mg single oral dose of bedaquiline at two time points, on study days 1 and 29. Subjects were randomly assigned to once daily oral doses of rifabutin (300 mg/day, n = 17) or rifampin (600 mg/day, n = 16) during period 2 from days 20 to 41. Serial blood sampling for bedaquiline measurement occurred on days 1 and 29 through 336 h after bedaquiline administration. The day 29 bedaquiline pharmacokinetic parameter estimates were compared to the corresponding day 1 estimates for each rifamycin group. Steady-state rifampin reduced bedaquiline AUC0–336 approximately 45%, from 47.69 h·μg/ml in period 1 to 26.33 h·μg/ml in period 2. Bedaquiline apparent clearance accelerated 24% in rifampin-treated subjects from 6.59 liters/h in period 1 to 8.19 liters/h in period 2. Steady-state rifabutin resulted in little quantitative impact on bedaquiline exposure but was associated with grade 3 and 4 adverse events before and after the day 29 bedaquiline dose. Dosage adjustments may therefore be necessary to ensure that bedaquiline plasma concentrations reach therapeutic levels safely when combining bedaquiline and rifamycins in TB treatment regimens. (This single-site, randomized, open-label, prospective study in healthy adult volunteers was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov under registration no. NCT01341184.)
