IMpact of PCSK9 InhibitoR InitiatiOn Before Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Coronary MicroVascular Dysfunction and Events for Acute Myocardial Infarction: a Multi-center, Open-label, Randomized, Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug tafolecimab works to treat participants with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) scheduled for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It will also learn about the safety of drug tafolecimab. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does drug tafolecimab lower the risk of 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events?
* Does drug tafolecimab improve the coronary microvascular dysfunction?
* What medical problems do participants have when administering drug tafolecimab by injection? Researchers will compare the results administering drug tafolecimab or not to see if drug tafolecimab works to treat AMI.
Participants will:
* Administer drug tafolecimab by injection or not every month for 12 months
* Receive the standard of care of AMI
* Complete the measurement of coronary angiography-derived microcirculation resistance index after PCI
* Complete cardiac magnetic resonance after PCI if available
* Visit the clinic at 1,6,12 months after the first administration for checkups and tests
* Report any discomfort, event or queries at any time

Early Initiation of Tafolecimab for Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromeundergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chinese Population (EMPACT): A Randomized Controlled Trial

For patients with ACS undergoing PCI, intensive lipid-lowering including PCSK9 monoclonal antibody should be started as soon as possible, that is, lower LDL-C level should be achieved as soon as possible. Compared with conventional lipid-lowering regimen, it is expected that the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events can still be reduced after drug discontinuation. Therefore, the optimization strategy of "for patients with ACS undergoing PCI, intensive lipid-lowering with PCSK9 monoclonal antibody can be started as soon as possible" is proposed.

Author: Kaplon, Hélène ; Reichert, Janice M. ; Crescioli, Silvia ; Chenoweth, Alicia ; Visweswaraiah, Jyothsna ; Wang, Lin

The 'Antibodies to Watch' article series provides an annual summary of commercially sponsored monoclonal antibody therapeutics currently in late-stage clinical development, regulatory review, and those recently granted a first approval in any country. In this installment, we discuss key details for 16 antibody therapeutics granted a first approval in 2023, as of November 17 (lecanemab (Leqembi), rozanolixizumab (RYSTIGGO), pozelimab (VEOPOZ), mirikizumab (Omvoh), talquetamab (Talvey), elranatamab (Elrexfio), epcoritamab (EPKINLY), glofitamab (COLUMVI), retifanlimab (Zynyz), concizumab (Alhemo), lebrikizumab (EBGLYSS), tafolecimab (SINTBILO), narlumosbart (Jinlitai), zuberitamab (Enrexib), adebrelimab (Arelili), and divozilimab (Ivlizi)). We briefly review 26 product candidates for which marketing applications are under consideration in at least one country or region, and 23 investigational antibody therapeutics that are forecast to enter regulatory review by the end of 2024 based on company disclosures. These nearly 50 product candidates include numerous innovative bispecific antibodies, such as odronextamab, ivonescimab, linvoseltamab, zenocutuzumab, and erfonrilimab, and antibody-drug conjugates, such as trastuzumab botidotin, patritumab deruxtecan, datopotamab deruxtecan, and MRG002, as well as a mixture of two immunocytokines (bifikafusp alfa and onfekafusp alfa). We also discuss clinical phase transition and overall approval success rates for antibody therapeutics, which are crucial to the biopharmaceutical industry because these rates inform decisions about resource allocation. Our analyses indicate that these molecules have approval success rates in the range of 14-32%, with higher rates associated with antibodies developed for non-cancer indications. Overall, our data suggest that antibody therapeutic development efforts by the biopharmaceutical industry are robust and increasingly successful.

Abstract Background and aimsIt is well known that elevated cholesterol is associated with enhanced platelet aggregation and patients suffering from familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have a high risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events. Although decreasing cholesterol level is associated with attenuation of platelet hyperactivity, there are currently no data on the effect of convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 monoclonal antibodies (PCSK9ab) on platelet reactivity in FH. The aim of the study was to analyse the impact of different therapies including PCSK9ab on platelet aggregation in FH.MethodsThis study enrolled all 15 patients treated in the University Hospital Hradec Králové for FH. PCSK9ab have been administered in 12 of 15 patients while 8 patients were also undergoing lipid apheresis. Blood samples from all patients including pre- and post-apheresis period were tested for platelet aggregation triggered by 7 inducers, and the effect of 3 clinically used drugs (acetylsalicylic acid, ticagrelor and vorapaxar) was compared as well.ResultsAlthough apheresis decreased the reactivity of platelets in general, platelet responses were not different between non-apheresis patients treated with PCSK9ab and apheresis patients (post-apheresis values) with the exception of ristocetin. However, when compared to age-matched healthy population, FH patients had significantly lower platelet aggregation responses to 4 out of 7 used inducers and higher profit from 2 out of 3 used antiplatelet drugs even after exclusion of FH patients regularly receiving conventional antiplatelet treatment.ConclusionThis study showed for the first time the suitability of PCSK9ab treatment for reduction of platelet reactivity in FH patients.

Optimal follow-up schedule for patients taking PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies in a health system: Analysis of specialty pharmacy clinical interventions

Article

Author: Trawinski, Allison ; Rightmier, Elizabeth ; Pilat, Stephanie ; Reindel, Kristin ; Manou, Katherine ; Avlasevich, Viktoriya

AbstractPurposeThe objective of this study was to determine if and when it is clinically appropriate to consider a reduction in the frequency of health-system specialty pharmacy (HSSP) clinical pharmacist assessments for patients taking a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibody (mAb) after they are deemed clinically stable on therapy.MethodsA single-center, retrospective, observational study of adult patients on PCSK9 mAb therapy enrolled in the University of Rochester Specialty Pharmacy Cardiology Patient Management Program was performed between October 24, 2016, and April 30, 2022. The primary outcome was the number of clinical pharmacist interventions per interval within the baseline 12 months compared to 12-month intervals for up to 72 months after initiation of PCSK9 mAb therapy.ResultsA total of 368 patients on PCSK9 mAb therapy were included in the study. A significantly lower percentage of patients had more than 2 interventions during the 12- to 24-month interval (24.3%) as compared to the baseline 12-month interval (80.2%) (P < 0.001); this represented a 70% reduction in the chance of a patient requiring more than 2 interventions (relative risk, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.24-0.38). A similar trend was demonstrated in the 24- to 36-month and 36- to 48-month intervals when compared to the first year of therapy. The most commonly documented clinical pharmacist interventions were in the categories of safety (29.2%), effectiveness (28.4%), and adherence (19.9%).ConclusionPatients beyond 1 year of PCSK9 mAb therapy required less clinical pharmacist interventions. Therefore, stable patients receiving a PCSK9 mAb may be considered for less frequent clinical assessments to allow for HSSP growth to nontraditional clinical areas.

Innovent Provides Interpretation and Updates on Clinical Data from Mazdutide GLORY-1 Study and General Biomedicine Pipeline

SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. (Innovent) (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic, autoimmune, ophthalmology and other major diseases, provided interpretation and updates on clinical data from Mazdutide's GLORY-1 study and its general biomedicine pipeline at an investor conference call on June 25. Continue Reading At the 2024 American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Meeting, the company reported the results of its first Phase 3 clinical study (GLORY-1) on the GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist mazdutide (Innovent R&D code: IBI362) in overweight or obese adults in China, along with the exploratory analysis results on liver fat content. During the June 25 conference call, leadership offered an in-depth interpretation of the clinical data. Innovent's Chief Financial Officer Rachel You and General Biomedicine Vice President of Clinical Development Lei Qian attended the meeting and made reports. Professor Linong Ji, MD, the principal investigator of the GLORY-1 study and Director of Peking University Diabetes Center and Director of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Peking University People's Hospital, also provided commentary. GLORY-1 is the first Phase 3 clinical study worldwide evaluating a GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist for weight loss. The findings demonstrate significant weight reduction, robust safety, unique liver fat reduction and comprehensive improvement in metabolic indicators, confirming the distinctive advantages of mazdutide as a dual agonist targeting GLP-1R and GCGR. At the same time, Innovent is actively pursuing new development pathways, including innovative molecules that extend beyond T2D and weight management, with the aim to deliver transformative treatments in metabolic health. Mazdutide is an analogue of oxyntomodulin (OXM), a natural peptide hormone existing in humans that activates both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucagon receptor (GCGR), to scientifically and effectively reduce weight, increase energy expenditure, burn fat and improve liver fat metabolism. It can also achieve comprehensive metabolic benefits and improve physical health. The findings from GLORY-1 underscore mazdutide's impressive weight loss effects, safety and tolerability, and further highlight its ability to significantly reduce liver fat content and improve multiple cardiovascular metabolic risk factors. These results reaffirm the distinct advantages of new-generation of GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonists. Excellent weight loss efficacy The GLORY-1 study demonstrated mazdutide's remarkable weight loss efficacy. After 48 weeks of treatment, the mazdutide 6mg group experienced an average weight reduction of 14.3% compared to baseline. Additionally, mazdutide showed significant reductions in waist circumference, hip circumference, and neck circumference, indicating its potential in reducing body fat. Unprecedented liver benefits In addition to its exceptional weight management capabilities, mazdutide also demonstrated an 80.2% reduction in liver fat content in the GLORY-1 study, indicating improvements to liver health. Acting directly on the liver as a GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist, mazdutide shows promise in treating metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), enhancing liver metabolic function and mitigating factors contributing to liver metabolic dysfunction. Significant reduction in multiple cardiovascular metabolic risk indicators The data at week 48 showed that mazdutide outperformed placebo in reducing waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-C, blood uric acid, and ALT levels compared to baseline. Furthermore, mazdutide significantly normalized blood sugar level for participants with HbA1C≥5.7%. These findings highlight mazdutide's potential to mitigate cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and improve blood sugar management. Well tolerated and favorable safety profile Mazdutide showed excellent safety and tolerability in the GLORY-1 study, establishing itself as a safe treatment choice. Most gastrointestinal symptoms observed in the treatment group, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, were mild or moderate, with no signals indicating increased cardiovascular risk. These findings underscore mazdutide's effectiveness in weight loss and improving metabolic conditions, while also highlighting its promising safety profile, positioning it as a potential best-in-class treatment option. The marketing application for mazdutide's first weight loss indication is currently under review by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). If approved, mazdutide is positioned to be a safe, effective, and comprehensive solution for chronic weight management among obese and overweight individuals in China, and could aid them to improve liver fat metabolism and address obesity-related comorbidities. Moving forward, Innovent plans to explore additional indications for mazdutide, advance the research and development of next-generation GLP-1 products, and contribute to improving the quality of life for patients with chronic diseases. Additionally, Innovent discussed its products in the cardiovascular and metabolic (CVM) field targeting various clinical needs currently in development. SINTBILO® (PCSK9) is the first and only Chinese-developed PCSK9 monoclonal antibody approved for treating hyperlipidemia. IBI128 (a new xanthine oxidase inhibitor) represents a next-generation candidate for managing gout and hyperuricemia, with ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials overseas and planned Phase 1/2 studies in China starting in 2024. IBI3016 (AGT siRNA) is an innovative siRNA therapy for hypertension, with a Phase 1 clinical trial scheduled to commence in 2024. Furthermore, several early-stage projects are poised to enter the IND stage, bolstering Innovent's strategic positioning and competitive edge in CVM. Metabolic diseases significantly affect quality of life and overall well-being. Innovent is accelerating innovation in this crucial area, dedicated to addressing unmet clinical needs and delivering safer, more effective treatments to patients. Over the next five years, Innovent plans to introduce 5-6 new metabolic products targeting diabetes, weight loss, cardiovascular conditions and other indications, aiming to establish itself as a leading research and development company in the field of cardiovascular metabolic diseases in China. Autoimmune: addressing global unmet clinical needs In the field of autoimmune, Innovent has successfully launched SULINNO® (adalimumab injection), which is approved for eight indications including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis and is covered under the National Reimbursement Drug List. Picankibart (R&D code: IBI112), a recombinant anti-interleukin 23p19 subunit (IL-23p19) antibody injection, successfully met primary and key secondary endpoints in its Phase 3 clinical study (CLEAR-1) for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in China. CLEAR-1 is global the first Phase 3 registration study in IL-23p19 class that reported over 80% of subjects achieved PASI 90 after 16 weeks of treatment in psoriasis patients, and Innovent is preparing for a NDA submission to the CDE of NMPA. Innovent continues to explore unmet clinical needs in autoimmune diseases globally with advancements like IBI355 (CD40L), IBI356 (OX40L), IBI3002 (IL-4Rα/TSLP) and other innovative First-in-class/Best-in-class molecules targeting indications including primary Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, atopic dermatitis, asthma, and other diseases. Ophthalmology: advancing treatment standards In the field of ophthalmology, Innovent's new drug application for IBI311 Injection (recombinant anti-insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) antibody, R&D) has been accepted for the treatment of thyroid eye disease (TED). This biologic with an innovative mechanism of action is poised to address a 60-year gap in domestic TED treatment, meeting significant clinical needs and offering effective, safe, and accessible treatment options for Chinese TED patients. In addition, Phase 3 clinical trials for IBI302 (VEGF/C) have commenced to address neovascular age-related maculopathy, with long-interval administration expected to achieve significant efficacy and potentially enhance management of geographic atrophy. Furthermore, IBI324 (VEGF-A/ANG-2) and IBI333 (VEGF-C/VEGF-A) are currently in Phase 1 clinical trials to explore their differentiated clinical value.

The China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has granted priority review for Innovent Biologics and Hutchmed ’s new drug application (NDA) for the combination of sintilimab and fruquintinib for advanced endometrial cancer. The NDA seeks a new therapeutic regimen for people with proficient mismatch repair or non-microsatellite instability-high tumours who have exhausted previous systemic therapies and are not eligible for curative surgical procedures or radiation. Sintilimab is a programmed cell death protein 1 immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody, marketed in China as TYVYT (sintilimab injection). It has been developed through a collaboration between Innovent and Eli Lilly. The application is based on the data from the FRUSICA-1 study, a Phase II multicentre, open-label trial. The primary measure of success was the objective response rate as assessed by an independent review committee.

In July 2023, the NMPA recognised the potential of the combination therapy, granting it a breakthrough designation. This status is reserved for treatments that offer a significant advancement over existing options for serious ailments lacking effective therapies, and where clinical evidence indicates substantial benefits. Innovent senior vice-president Dr Hui Zhou stated: “TYVYT (sintilimab injection), as a backbone therapy in immuno-oncology, in combination with an anti-angiogenetic drug, may improve the prognosis for endometrial cancer patients in China. “We are excited about the NDA acceptance and priority review designation, which increases our potential to bring a new treatment option to endometrial cancer patients, and concurrently strengthens the leadership position of TYVYTin China.” In August 2023, the company received approval from China NMPA for SINTBILO (tafolecimab injection) for primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia .
