AbstractCo‐administration of clesacostat (acetyl‐CoA carboxylase inhibitor, PF‐05221304) and ervogastat (diacylglycerol O‐acyltransferase inhibitor, PF‐06865571) in laboratory models improved non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) end points and mitigated clesacostat‐induced elevations in circulating triglycerides. Clesacostat is cleared via organic anion‐transporting polypeptide‐mediated hepatic uptake and cytochrome P450 family 3A (CYP3A); in vitro clesacostat is identified as a potential CYP3A time‐dependent inactivator. In vitro ervogastat is identified as a substrate and potential inducer of CYP3A. Prior to longer‐term efficacy trials in participants with NAFLD, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) were evaluated in a phase I, non‐randomized, open‐label, fixed‐sequence trial in healthy participants. In Cohort 1, participants (n = 7) received clesacostat 15 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) alone (Days 1–7) and co‐administered with ervogastat 300 mg b.i.d. (Days 8–14). Mean systemic clesacostat exposures, when co‐administered with ervogastat, decreased by 12% and 19%, based on maximum plasma drug concentration and area under the plasma drug concentration–time curve during the dosing interval, respectively. In Cohort 2, participants (n = 9) received ervogastat 300 mg b.i.d. alone (Days 1–7) and co‐administered with clesacostat 15 mg b.i.d. (Days 8–14). There were no meaningful differences in systemic ervogastat exposures when administered alone or with clesacostat. Clesacostat 15 mg b.i.d. and ervogastat 300 mg b.i.d. co‐administration was overall safe and well tolerated in healthy participants. Cumulative safety and no clinically meaningful PK drug interactions observed in this study supported co‐administration of these two novel agents in additional studies exploring efficacy and safety in the management of NAFLD.

Mitigating a Bioactivation Liability with an Azetidine-Based Inhibitor of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) En Route to the Discovery of the Clinical Candidate Ervogastat.

Article

Author: Dowling, Matthew S. ; Futatsugi, Kentaro ; Kalgutkar, Amit S. ; Sharma, Raman

We recently disclosed SAR studies on systemically acting, amide-based inhibitors of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) that addressed metabolic liabilities with the liver-targeted DGAT2 inhibitor PF-06427878. Despite strategic placement of a nitrogen atom in the dialkoxyaromatic ring in PF-06427878 to evade oxidative O-dearylation, metabolic intrinsic clearance remained high due to extensive piperidine ring oxidation as exemplified with compound 1. Piperidine ring modifications through alternate N-linked heterocyclic ring/spacer combination led to azetidine 2 that demonstrated lower intrinsic clearance. However, 2 underwent a facile cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated α-carbon oxidation followed by azetidine ring scission, resulting in the formation of ketone (M2) and aldehyde (M6) as stable metabolites in NADPH-supplemented human liver microsomes. Inclusion of GSH or semicarbazide in microsomal incubations led to the formation of Cys-Gly-thiazolidine (M3), Cys-thiazolidine (M5), and semicarbazone (M7) conjugates, which were derived from reaction of the nucleophilic trapping agents with aldehyde M6. Metabolites M2 and M5 were biosynthesized from NADPH- and l-cysteine-fortified human liver microsomal incubations with 2, and proposed metabolite structures were verified using one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Replacement of the azetidine substituent with a pyridine ring furnished 8, which mitigated the formation of the electrophilic aldehyde metabolite, and was a more potent DGAT2 inhibitor than 2. Further structural refinements in 8, specifically introducing amide bond substituents with greater metabolic stability, led to the discovery of PF-06865571 (ervogastat) that is currently in phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Inhibition of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase 2 Versus Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase 1: Potential Therapeutic Implications of Pharmacology

Review

Author: Dullea, Robert ; Saxena, Aditi R ; Amin, Neeta B ; Somayaji, Veena

PURPOSEHepatic steatosis due to altered lipid metabolism and accumulation of hepatic triglycerides is a hallmark of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) enzymes, DGAT1 and DGAT2, catalyze the terminal reaction in triglyceride synthesis, making them attractive targets for pharmacologic intervention. There is a common misconception that these enzymes are related; however, despite their similar names, DGAT1 and DGAT2 differ significantly on multiple levels. As we look ahead to future clinical studies of DGAT2 inhibitors in patients with NAFLD and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), we review key differences and include evidence to highlight and support DGAT2 inhibitor (DGAT2i) pharmacology.METHODSThree Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic properties of the DGAT2i ervogastat (PF-06865571) in healthy adult participants (Single Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of PF-06865571 [study C2541001] and Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Doses of PF-06865571 in Healthy, Including Overweight and Obese, Adult Subjects [study C2541002]) or participants with NAFLD (2-Week Study in People With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease [study C2541005]). Data from 2 Phase I, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of the DGAT1i PF-04620110 in healthy participants (A Single Dose Study of PF-04620110 in Overweight and Obese, Otherwise Healthy Volunteers [study B0961001] and A Multiple Dose Study of PF-04620110 in Overweight and Obese, Otherwise Healthy Volunteers [study B0961002]) were included for comparison. Safety outcomes were the primary end point in all studies, except in study C2541005, in which safety was the secondary end point, with relative change from baseline in whole liver fat at day 15 assessed as the primary end point. Safety data were analyzed across studies by total daily dose of ervogastat (5, 15, 50, 100, 150, 500, 600, 1000, and 1500 mg) or PF-04620110 (0.3, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, and 21 mg), with placebo data pooled separately across ervogastat and PF-04620110 studies.FINDINGSPublished data indicate that DGAT1 and DGAT2 differ in multiple dimensions, including gene family, subcellular localization, substrate preference, and specificity, with unrelated pharmacologic inhibition properties and differing safety profiles. Although initial nonclinical studies suggested a potentially attractive therapeutic profile with DGAT1 inhibition, genetic and pharmacologic data suggest otherwise, with common gastrointestinal adverse events, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, limiting further clinical development. Conversely, DGAT2 inhibition, although initially not pursued as aggressively as a potential target for pharmacologic intervention, has consistent efficacy in nonclinical studies, with reduced triglyceride synthesis accompanied by reduced expression of genes essential for de novo lipogenesis. In addition, early clinical data indicate antisteatotic effects with DGAT2i ervogastat, in participants with NAFLD, accompanied by a well-tolerated safety profile.IMPLICATIONSAlthough pharmacologic DGAT1is are limited by an adverse safety profile, data support use of DGAT2i as an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic strategy for patients with NAFLD, NASH, and NASH with liver fibrosis.CLINICALTRIALSgov identifiers: NCT03092232, NCT03230383, NCT03513588, NCT00799006, and NCT00959426.

Ionis’ Antisense Molecule Hits Primary Endpoint in Phase II MASH Trial

Pictured: Illustration depicting a damaged liver/iStock, Mohammed Haneefa Nizamudeen A Phase II clinical trial of Ionis Pharmaceuticals’ metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis drug candidate has hit its primary endpoint, the company said Wednesday. Investigators randomized 160 people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), the liver disease formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, to receive placebo or one of three doses of ION224 subcutaneously once a month. Ionis designed the ligand-conjugated antisense medicine to cut production of DGAT2, an enzyme that studies have linked to fatty liver disease. After 51 weeks, the proportion of patients who had MASH histologic improvement without worsening of fibrosis was significantly higher in the top two dose cohorts than in the placebo group. The significant differences caused the trial to meet its primary endpoint. Ionis shared the p values for the successful 90-mg and 120-mg doses—0.015 and less than 0.001, respectively—but is yet to provide a closer look at the primary endpoint data. Subgroup analyses found patients with both F2 and F3 fibrosis, the middle scores on a four-point scarring severity scale, improved after taking ION224. The biotech published some secondary endpoint data. ION224 beat placebo on an endpoint that looked at MASH resolution without worsening of fibrosis, as measured by biopsy. At the highest dose, 44% of patients had a 50% or greater relative reduction in liver steatosis, as measured by imaging, while 3% of people on placebo experienced such an improvement. Ionis also saw a trend favoring ION224 for a liver scarring endpoint. In the high-dose arm, 32% of people had at least a one stage improvement in fibrosis without worsening of steatohepatitis as measured by biopsy, compared to 12.5% of their peers in the placebo cohort. The FDA asks sponsors to show a one stage improvement in fibrosis with no worsening of MASH or the resolution of MASH with no worsening of fibrosis in Phase III clinical trials. The first wave of MASH assets failed to clear that bar but recent studies have fared better, with Madrigal Pharmaceuticals hitting both the endpoints in Phase III. The FDA is set to decide whether to approve Madrigal’s resmetirom by Thursday. The success of resmetirom, a THR-β agonist, in clinical trials is part of a series of events that suggest Ionis will face competition if it delivers its own pivotal study victory and brings ION224 to market. Companies are working on MASH molecules against a range of targets, from Boehringer Ingelheim’s glucagon/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist survodutide to Akero Therapeutics’ FGF21 analog efruxifermin. Other companies are interested in Ionis’ MASH target, DGAT2. Pfizer axed one DGAT2 inhibitor after Phase I but still has another candidate, PF-06865571, in mid-stage development. Data from the Phase II clinical trial are imminent, according to ClinicalTrials.gov. Other companies including Sinew Pharma and Viking Therapeutics are working on DGAT1 inhibitors.

Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Overview Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of liver inflammation and damage caused by fat buildup. It is one of several conditions known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is classified into two types: isolated fatty liver, in which only fat accumulates, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, in which fat, inflammation, and liver cell damage occur. NASH does not usually cause symptoms. Most people with NASH feel fine and are unaware that they have it. As NASH progresses and liver damage worsens, a patient may experience fatigue, weight loss, general weakness, and acne in the upper right part of the belly. Screening for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the general population is not advised. It is usually considered after discovering unexplained liver enzyme levels, or imaging reveals hepatic steatosis. A patient's medical history, a physical exam, and tests for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis are used by doctors. Want to discover how the Nash treatment pipeline will look like?

Pfizer discards eczema, NASH and breast cancer programs in early-phase clean-out

Pfizer gave the heave-ho to PF-07202954 in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with liver fibrosis. Pfizer has tossed out three R&D programs after sifting through the latest data on its early-phase pipeline, adding projects focused on atopic dermatitis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and breast cancer to its discard pile. PF-07259955, a topical “soft” JAK inhibitor, had the shortest stay in the clinic. Pfizer began a phase 1 trial of the asset and another drug with the same mechanism of action, PF-07295324, in healthy volunteers in February. Having wrapped up the study in August, Pfizer has decided it can do without PF-07259955. The other soft JAK inhibitor, which is designed for minimal systemic exposure, remains in development. Companies including Pfizer and Novartis have identified soft, topically administered JAK inhibitors as a way to achieve strong therapeutic effects in the skin without causing the systemic effects associated with oral administration. Novartis dropped its asset, CEE321, earlier this year after seeing phase 1 data, but ongoing development of PF-07295324 means Pfizer remains in the race to challenge Incyte’s Opzelura. Pfizer has also given the heave-ho to PF-07202954 in NASH with liver fibrosis. The drugmaker tested single and repeat doses of the DGAT2 inhibitor in 12 healthy volunteers last year, enrolling far fewer than the 88 subjects that it initially targeted. While PF-07202954 has reached the end of the line, Pfizer still has a DGAT2 inhibitor in its deck of R&D prospects. The Big Pharma began a phase 2 trial of PF-06865571, a DGAT2 inhibitor that is also known as ervogastat, in 2020. Pfizer’s continued interest in DGAT2 inhibition is underpinned by evidence that the enzyme plays a role in hepatic steatosis. The other early-phase update covers a partial retreat from the CDK2 inhibitor PF-07104091. Pfizer lists the study of the small molecule in combination with Ibrance in metastatic breast cancer as discontinued. But work to test the candidate in other combinations in breast and ovarian cancers continues. Finally, Pfizer formally discontinued the cardiovascular disease candidate PF-07265803. News that work on the program would end emerged in August when Pfizer revealed a phase 3 trial had failed an interim futility analysis.
