Abstract

Background. There remains a clinical need for a well-tolerated and safe iron chelator for the

treatment of transfusional iron overload. We described the pharmacokinetic properties and

safety data after 7 days of dosing FBS0701, a novel orally available, once-daily iron chealtor.

Design and Methods. This phase 1b dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability,

pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of FBS0701, a novel oral iron chelator for the

treatment of transfusional iron overload, was conducted in sixteen transfusionally iron

overloaded adult patients. FBS0701 was dosed daily for seven (7) days up to 32 mg/kg and was

well tolerated at all dose levels.

Results. Pharmacokinetics showed dose-proportionality, Cmax within 60-90 minutes of dosing,

rapid distribution at the predicted therapeutic doses and a plasma elimination half-life (t1/2) of

approximately 19 hours. There were no serious adverse events associated with the drug.

Conclusions. On the basis of these safety and pharmacokinetic data, FBS0701 warrants further

clinical evaluation in patients with transfusional iron overload.

Introduction

Morbidity from iron overload remains a major problem in transfusion-dependent patients despite

recent advances in chelation therapy. Iron chelators in current use -- parenteral deferoxamine,

oral deferasirox and deferiprone -- are individually efficacious in many patients with transfusion-

dependent anemias, but each has limitations relating to safety, ease of administration, patient

acceptance, or a narrow therapeutic index (1). The novel oral chelator FBS0701, a member of

the desazadesferrithiocin class of siderophore-related tridentate chelators, binds Fe(III) with very

high affinity and selectivity over Fe(II) and other biologically important metals (2, 3, 4).

FBS0701 was selected for clinical development on the basis of its primary pharmacologic and

pharmacokinetic properties and the toxicity profile all of which suggested FBS0701 might offer

significant clinical advantages for patients with iron overload as compared to currently available

therapies (5). Extensive preclinical toxicological studies of FBS0701 consistently demonstrated

a higher no-observable-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) compared to deferasirox (ExJade®

,

Novartis) suggesting a favorable clinical safety profile especially with respect to nephrotoxicity

(6, 7). In this study, we report the results of the first multi-dose exposure of FBS0701 in iron

overloaded patients.""

Design and Methods

This study was conducted in accordance with the World Medical Association Declaration of

Helsinki, good clinical practice (GCP), and International Clinical Harmonization (ICH)

guidelines and all applicable regulations governing human subject protections and approved by

Institutional Review Boards or local ethics committees at each site.

This study, Protocol Number Error! Reference source not found., was conducted to evaluate

the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of FBS0701 in patients with

transfusional iron overload. This was a multi-center, open-label study of ascending multiple oral

doses of FBS0701. Four (4) cohorts of four (4) patients each were dosed sequentially with

FBS0701. Patients were dosed at 3 mg/kg, 8 mg/kg, 16 mg/kg, or 32 mg/kg once daily for seven

(7) days. The 7 day duration of the study was considered sufficient to accurately assess the

pharmacokinetics of FBS0701 at steady state plasma levels.

Patients

Patients eighteen years or older with documented transfusional iron overload requiring chronic

treatment with deferiprone, deferasirox or deferoxamine were eligible. Patients were

transfusion-dependent defined in this study as those requiring 8 or more transfusions per year.

The iron burden inclusion criteria were defined as: 1) liver iron concentrations (LIC) greater than

2 mg/g (dry weight, liver) as determined by R2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); 2) a cardiac

MRI T2* greater than 12 milliseconds; 3) serum ferritin in excess of 600 ng/mL.

Eligible and consented patients discontinued their regular chelation therapy for up to five days

during a wash-out period prior to their first dose of FBS0701. Dose cohorts and diagnoses are

shown in Table 1. Patients received FBS0701 in capsules taken orally in a fasted state. In this

"

study, a standard pharmacokinetic protocol of plasma sampling was performed throughout the 7

days of dosing and continuing for three days after the last dose on Day 7.

Each dose level was separated by a minimum of three weeks to assess safety and tolerability

prior to escalating to the next dose level. Following initial dosing on Day 1, patients were

followed in the clinic on Days 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 15 and then weekly thereafter for three weeks

for a total of 28 days following the last dose.

Study Assessments

Adverse Events were assessed at every clinic visit and between visits via telephone, from the

first dose through 28 days post-last dose (Day 35). Clinical and laboratory assessments were

monitored regularly beginning at Screening and during clinic visits throughout the study (see

Supplemental Data: Table 1). All clinical pathology determinations were performed at ACM

Laboratories, Ltd. in Bristol, England. Seventeen blood samples for pharmacokinetics were

collected: pre-dose on Days 1, 3, 6 and 7; 9 post-dose samples from 15 minutes to 8 hours on

Day 7; a single sample on Days 8, 9, 10 and 15. Urine was collected in pooled intervals of 0-

4, 4-8, and 8-24 hours after the last dose on Day 7 to assess FBS0701 and iron excretion.

Pharmacokinetic analysis

Actual blood sampling and urine collection times were used in all pharmacokinetic analyses. Per

protocol times were used to calculate mean plasma concentrations for graphical displays. A

formally validated bioanalytical method for quantifying total FBS0701 in human plasma and

urine was developed. The drug was extracted from plasma using solid phase extraction and

analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric

determination, and d3-FBS0701 as an internal standard. The method was used to measure drug

"

(MW 400) over the range of 5 to 2000 ng/ml (12.5 -5000 nM) and at sample dilutions of 20- to

50- fold. Because of low pH, the chromatographic eluent displaces all iron from chelate

complexes and thus the bioanalytical method provides total drug concentration and does not

differentiate drug bound to iron from unbound – such a method is currently under development.

Pharmacokinetic parameters for FBS0701 were estimated using non-compartmental analysis.

Only plasma and urine concentrations greater than the lower limits of quantitation (LOQ, 5

ng/mL in plasma, 5 ng/mL in urine) for the assays were used in the pharmacokinetic analysis.

The following pharmacokinetic parameters for FBS0701 were determined from plasma

concentration and urinary excretion data: the area under the plasma concentration versus time

curve over the 24 hour time dosing interval (AUC0–24); the maximum observed plasma

concentration (Cmax); the time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax); the terminal

elimination rate constant (kel) and half-life (t!); the apparent total plasma clearance of drug

after oral administration (CL/F); the apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase

after oral administration (Vz/F); the fraction of the oral dose excreted into urine (Ue); and

renal clearance (CLr).

Statistical Analysis

Individual patient plasma concentrations, blood sampling times, urine concentrations, urine

volumes, and the amount excreted in each interval, and pharmacokinetic parameters were listed

by dose group and patient. Plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters were

summarized by dose group using descriptive statistics: Linearity with respect to Cmax and

AUC(0-24) was assessed using the power model, i.e. bDoseaP != , where P represents the

parameter and a and b are constants. A log-log plot of P versus Dose will be linear and a value

("

"

of b of !1 indicates linearity. The equation was fit to the individual patient data using non-linear

least squares regression. Parameters were compared among doses using descriptive statistics.

Due to the small numbers of patients per panel, no formal statistical analyses were done.

Adverse Events

Adverse events (AEs) in this study were defined as any unexpected, unfavorable, harmful, or

pathologic change in a patient as indicated by physical signs or symptoms including intercurrent

illnesses or injuries and/or clinically significant laboratory abnormalities occurring over the

course of the 7 day treatment and 28 day post-treatment period. A serious adverse event (SAE)

was defined as an event that was fatal or life-threatening, requiring hospitalization, surgery, or

resulting in a persistent disability. All AEs and SAEs were assessed for their possible

relationship to the study drug.

Results

Patient and study completion

The study enrolled 16 patients and all completed the study. The primary hematological

diagnoses and demographics are listed in Table 1. (Additional demographic data and patient

medical history is provided in Supplementary Data Table 2 and 4.)

Pharmacokinetics

The mean pre-dose plasma concentrations were relatively constant from Day 3 through Day 8

(Supplemental Data Figure 1), suggesting that steady-state had been reached by Day 3,

consistent with the mean t! (16.2 to 21.3 h; Table 2) and the 24-hour dosing interval.

The mean plasma FBS0701 concentrations after the last dose on Day 7 are illustrated on linear

axes in Figure 1 (0 to 24 hours) and in semi-logarithmic axes in Figure 2 (0 to 192 hours).

)"

"

Plasma concentrations increased in a dose-related manner (Figure 1) and decayed at essentially

the same rate after all four doses (Figure 2) demonstrating linear pharmacokinetics. Mean values

for Cmax and AUC(0-24) also increased in a dose proportional manner (Table 2) and log-log plots

of the mean Cmax and AUC(0-24) (Figure 3) versus Dose were reasonably linear with slopes whose

approximate 95% confidence intervals included 1.0, providing further evidence of linear

pharmacokinetics. The median values for Tmax ranged from 1.00 to 1.49 h and were not dose

dependent (Table 2). There were no dose related trends in either CL/F or Vz/F and the mean

elimination half-life, t!, was independent of dose (Table 2).

The urinary recovery of FBS0701 was comparable across the four cohorts with mean recovery

ranging from 39.2% to 47.4% of the dose and mean renal clearance from 73.6 to 105 mL/min

(Table 2). As the protein binding of FBS0701 is 85%, filtration clearance, estimated as the

unbound fraction, 0.15, times the glomerular filtration rate, ~120 mL/min, would be ~18

mL/min. As CLr is ~5-fold greater than the filtration clearance, active tubular secretion is likely

a substantial component of the renal excretion of FBS0701. There was, however, no evidence of

saturation of renal clearance at the systemic exposures observed in this study.

Pharmacodynamics

In this study, urine was collected for 24 hours following last administration of FBS0701 on

Day 7. The concentration of urinary iron was measured in three aliquots – 0-4 hours; 4-8 hours;

8-24 hours. Iron was detected in the urine of all patients administered FBS0701 but amounts

were low and no significant dose-dependent trends in urinary iron excretion were evident (data

not shown).

Safety

*"

"

All sixteen patients who received FBS0701 were included in the safety analysis. The safety and

tolerability of each dose level was reviewed by the Principal Investigator (EN) and the FerroKin

Medical Monitor (HYR) prior to dose escalation. AEs, vital sign measurements, ECG results,

and laboratory assessments were reviewed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of each dose

level of FBS0701. Treatment-emergent AEs were reported by 14 of the 16 patients; Table 3 lists

those AEs possibly or probably related to FBS0701. (For all AEs, see Supplementary Data:

Table 3). There was no evidence to suggest a relationship between dose-escalation and the

intensity or causality of AEs. Twenty-four adverse events were mild in intensity and 7 adverse

events were moderate in intensity. There was one SAE (Supplementary Data: Table 3). Patient

0501 with sickle cell disease (SCD) was admitted to the hospital for sickle cell pain 20 days after

the last dose of FBS0701. The three day hospital course was uncomplicated and the patient was

discharged in her baseline condition. The SAE was deemed unrelated to FBS0701 by the site

Principal Investigator. All AEs with the exception of sciatica have resolved without any further

medical intervention or follow-up. There were no deaths and no withdrawals due to adverse

events.

There were no statistically significant changes in biochemistry, hematology, or urinalysis nor any

deemed clinically significant or adverse. Specifically, there were no changes in serum

creatinine, blood urea nitrogen or urinalysis from pre-dose to Day 7 or to Day 15. There were no

changes in vital signs, physical examination, or ECGs from pre-dose values deemed adverse with

the exception of one patient with a change in QTc interval on Day 7. This finding was in a

fourth cohort patient (802) with SCD with a baseline QTc interval of 442 ms who was observed

four hours after the last dose on Day 7 to have a QTc interval of 462 ms without other ECG

changes or clinical symptomatology. A repeat ECG on Day 17, ten days after her last dose of

FBS0701 showed a QTc interval of 455 ms. This observation was not unexpected in a patient

with SCD (8).

Discussion

In this first multiple-dose study of FBS0701 in transfusionally iron overloaded patients, analysis

of the plasma concentration and urinary excretion data for FBS0701 after oral administration of 3

mg/kg, 8 mg/kg, 16 mg/kg, and 32 mg/kg indicated linear pharmacokinetics over that range of

doses. There were no apparent dose dependencies with respect to Tmax, CL/F, Vz/F, or t!. The

mean elimination half-life was ~19 hours and approximately 43% of the dose was recovered in

the urine. CL/F appears to be directly related to body weight, suggesting that weight-based

dosing is appropriate for FBS0701.

The t1/2 of ~19.2 hours suggests that once-daily dosing is feasible. Plasma levels of FBS0701

24 hours following the last dose were <1% of Cmax. This assay for FBS0701 does not distinguish

FBS0701 bound to iron from free drug, however, the presence of FBS0701 in the plasma at 24

hours post-dosing in the third and fourth dose cohorts at concentrations of ~1 "M allows for the

possibility that non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI) may be suppressed over the entire FBS0701

dosing cycle in patients taking predicted therapeutic doses of FBS0701; this assertion will need

to be tested directly by measuring NTBI and determining the proportion free drug to total drug in

plasma at various time points post-dosing.

The small amount of iron found in the urine at all FBS0701 dose levels is consistent with data in

rats in which 98% of iron excreted following a single dose of FBS0701 was found in bile (5).

The data in this study suggest that the fraction of the oral dose of FBS0701 not bound to iron is

"

largely excreted renally whereas the drug:iron complex is likely to be excreted predominantly via

the biliary route.

FBS0701 was well tolerated in the intended patient population of transfusional iron overloaded

patients. The frequency or severity of adverse events did not show any dose-dependency with

the exception of changes in urine color which were of no apparent clinical significance. The

most common AEs were headache (n=5), urine color change (n= 4) and flatulence (n= 2).

Significantly, there were no reports of changes in the frequency or character of stools in any of

the 16 patients over the 7 day dosing period as have been observed with other oral chelators over

this dosing period. Though patients with moderate-to-severe renal function were excluded from

the study, there were no instances in any patients of elevations in serum creatinine at any time

during the seven day dosing period or during the 28 day follow-up safety assessment period.

Similarly for liver function tests, there were no significant changes in those parameters.

In summary, FBS0701 was well tolerated for seven days in iron overloaded patients with

favorable pharmacokinetics at doses likely to be therapeutic. These results warrant further safety

and efficacy studies of FBS0701 in the iron overloaded patient population.

Pharmacokinetic and Statistical Methods

Pharmacokinetic Analyses

All pharmacokinetic calculations and generation of individual patient concentration

versus time graphs were done using SAS®

for Windows®

Version 9.1.3 under Windows

5

XP Professional. Graphs of mean plasma concentration and other in-text graphs were

prepared using SigmaPlot®

for Windows®

Version 11.

On Day 7, the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and time to Cmax (Tmax) were

taken directly from the data. The elimination rate constant, !z, was calculated as the

negative of the slope of the terminal log-linear segment of the plasma concentration-time

curve. The slope was determined from a linear regression of the natural logarithm of the

terminal plasma concentrations against time; at least 3 terminal plasma concentration

time points, beginning with the final concentration " LOQ, were selected for the

determination of !z and the regression had to have a coefficient of determination

(r!) " 0.9000. The range of data used for each patient was determined by visual

inspection of a semi-logarithmic plot of concentration vs. time. Elimination half life (t")

was calculated according to the following equation:

zt

!

693.0? =

Area under the curve over the 24-hour dosing interval [AUC(0-24)] was calculated using

the linear trapezoidal method.

Oral clearance (CL/F) and volume of distribution (Vz/F), uncorrected for bioavailability

(F) were calculated according to

)240(/

!=AUC

DoseFCL and

)240(/

respectively.

For each urine collection interval, the amount of FBS0701 excreted (Ue) was calculated

from the concentration (Cu) and volume (Vu), i.e.

VuCuUe !=

and the total amount excreted over the 24-hour steady-state period was calculated by

summing the amounts from the individual intervals and was expressed as both milligrams

(Ue) and percent of dose (Fe).

Renal clearance (CLr) was calculated for the 24-hour steady-state period according to

where Ue and AUC are as previously defined.

Protocol Deviations

The Day 15 blood sample (336 h) for Patient #802 was collected on Day 17 (384 h).

Although this sample was included in all pharmacokinetic analyses, it was excluded from

the calculation of descriptive statistics for plasma concentrations (Appendix IV).

Detailed Analysis

The individual patient dosing times are listed in Appendix I. Individual patient FBS0701

plasma concentrations, actual sampling times, and mean plasma concentrations are listed

in Appendix II, Appendix III, and Appendix IV, respectively. The individual patient

FBS0701 urinary excretion data are contained in Appendix V. Appendix VI and

Appendix VII contain the individual patient pharmacokinetic parameters and the

associated descriptive statistics. The statistical analysis of the fit of the power model to

Cmax and AUC(0-24) vs. Total Dose is shown in Appendix VIII. The individual patient

plots of plasma concentration vs. time on linear and semi-logarithmic axes, respectively;

are in Appendix IX and Appendix X; the latter contains line segments indicating the

range of data used to estimate !z.

Pharmacokinetics

Attainment of Steady-State

Taking into account the small number of patients per cohort, with the exception of

Cohort 4 (32 mg/kg/day), the mean pre-dose plasma concentrations were relatively

constant from Day 3 through Day 8 (Figure 1), suggesting that steady-state had been

reached by Day 3, consistent with the mean t" (16.2 to 21.3 h; Table 1) and the 24-hour

dosing interval.

7

Patient #703 had pre-dose plasma concentrations that were substantially higher than the

other three patients in Cohort 4 (Appendix II) and may account for the increased

variability within that group.

Pharmacokinetics

The mean plasma FBS0701 concentrations after the last dose on Day 7 are illustrated on

linear axes in Figure 2 and Figure 3 (initial 24 hours) and in Figure 4 (semi-logarithmic

axes). Plasma concentrations increased in a dose-related manner (Figure 3) and, as

illustrated in Figure 4, decay at essentially the same rate after all four doses,

demonstrating linear pharmacokinetics. Mean values for Cmax and AUC(0-24) also

increased in a dose-proportional manner (Table 1) and log-log plots of the individual Cmax

(Figure 5) and AUC(0-24) (Figure 6) versus dose were reasonably linear with slopes whose

approximate 95% confidence intervals included 1.0 (Appendix VIII), providing further

evidence of linear pharmacokinetics. The median values for Tmax ranged from 1.00 to

8

1.49 h and were not dependent on dose (Table 1). There were no dose-related trends in

either CL/F or Vz/F and the mean elimination half-life (t") ranged from 16.2 h to 21.3 h

and was independent of dose (Table 1).

As illustrated in Figure 7, CL/F appears to be directly related to body weight, suggesting

that weight-based dosing may be appropriate for FBS0701. However, this is based on a

small number of patients and the need for a weight-based versus a fixed dose must be

confirmed with a larger sample size.

Consistent with linear pharmacokinetics, the urinary recovery of FBS0701 was

comparable across the four cohorts, with mean recovery ranging from 39.2% to 47.4% of

the dose (Table 1). The mean renal clearance ranged from 73.6 to 105 mL/min (Table 1).

As the protein binding of FBS0701 is 85%, filtration clearance, estimated as the unbound

fraction, 0.15, times the glomerular filtration rate, ~120 mL/min, would be ~18 mL/min.

As CLr is ~5-fold greater than the filtration clearance, active tubular secretion is likely a

substantial component of the renal excretion of FBS0701.

Assessment of the Linearity of Renal Clearance

As indicated above, the mean CLr of FBS0701 ranged from 73.6 to 105 mL/min, ~5-fold

greater than filtration clearance, indicating that active tubular secretion is likely a

substantial component of the renal excretion of FBS0701. Active tubular secretion is an

excretion pathway that can potentially be saturated; however, if true, this would not affect

the absolute recovery, which is independent of dose (Table 1).

The amount excreted within a collection interval (UE) and the area under the curve for

that interval (AUC) are related via

AUCCLrUE !=

and thus a plot of UE versus AUC should be linear if there is no saturation of renal

clearance. As shown in Figure 8, within the limits of the small number of patients per

cohort and the variability intrinsic to estimating urinary excretion, there is a reasonably

linear relationship between UE and AUC up to an AUC of ~150,000 h!ng/mL, indicating

no apparent trends toward saturation.
