Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of PF-06649751 in Parkinson's Disease

This study will be an open label, dose escalation study to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of repeated daily quaque die (QD) doses given over 21 days (Day 3 to Day 23) to sequential cohorts of subjects with Parkinson's disease. Each cohort will have 2 study periods. For each cohort, subjects will enter Period 1 and if they meet criteria, approximately 12 subjects will be enrolled into Period 2 and dosed with PF 06649751. Based on results observed in a previous study, Cohorts 1 and 2 will not be conducted. Cohorts 3 - 6 will test doses uptitrated to 5 mg, 15 mg and 25 mg QD. Doses may be modified based on emerging safety, tolerability and PK data, but the maximum daily dose that will be given in any cohort will have PK predictions at steady state that are anticipated to be below toxicokinetic limits. An option for down titration to the previous dose level is available should the investigator consider that an AE is intolerable. Following down titration, a single up titration to the next dose level may be attempted if the subject remains symptom free for at least 48 hrs. Safety, tolerability and PK data of Cohort 3 will be reviewed prior to initiating the dosing in Cohorts 4 and 5. Available safety, tolerability and PK data up to Day 24 of at least 5 subjects from Cohorts 4 will be reviewed prior to initiating the dosing in Cohort 6.

    Physical examination included examination of the head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, skin, heart and lung examinations, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and neurological systems. The examination assessed the participants for any potential changes in general appearance, the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, as well as towards participant reported symptoms. Findings were considered to be clinically significant based on investigator's decision.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Day 30

    The C-SSRS was an interview-based rating scale to systematically assess suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior. C-SSRS assessed whether participant experienced any of the following 1: completed suicide, 2: suicide attempt (response of "yes" on "actual attempt"), 3: preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior ("yes" on "aborted attempt", "interrupted attempt", "preparatory acts or behavior"), 4: any suicidal behavior or ideation, suicidal ideation ("yes" on "wish to be dead", "non-specific active suicidal thoughts", "active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act or some intent to act, without specific plan or with specific plan and intent"), 7: self-injurious behavior, no suicidal intent ("yes" on "has participant engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behavior").

  8. Change From Baseline in Parkinson's Disease Diary For Participants With Motor Fluctuations at Day 13

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 13

    According to Parkinson's disease diaries of participants "OFF" time was a time period when the medication no longer providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness and participants experienced relatively poor overall function with worsening of tremor, rigidity, balance, or bradykinesia. "ON" time was a time period when medication was providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness. "ON" time was classified as associated with or without troublesome dyskinesia (TD) that interfere with activities of daily living and with or without dyskinesia. "OFF" time and "ON" time with TD were generally considered to be "bad time" with regard to motor function, whereas "ON" time without dyskinesia (WD) and with non- troublesome dyskinesia (NTD) were generally considered to be "good time".

  9. Change From Baseline in Parkinson's Disease Diary For Participants With Motor Fluctuations at Day 20

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 20

    According to Parkinson's disease diaries of participants "OFF" time was a time period when the medication no longer providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness and participants experienced relatively poor overall function with worsening of tremor, rigidity, balance, or bradykinesia. "ON" time was a time period when medication was providing benefit with regard to mobility, slowness, and stiffness. "ON" time was classified as associated with or without troublesome dyskinesia (TD) that interfere with activities of daily living and with or without dyskinesia. "OFF" time and "ON" time with TD were generally considered to be "bad time" with regard to motor function, whereas "ON" time without dyskinesia (WD) and with non- troublesome dyskinesia (NTD) were generally considered to be "good time".

Secondary outcomes

  1. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of L-Dopa

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

  2. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of L-Dopa

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

  3. Apparent Clearance (CL/F) of L-Dopa

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

  4. Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of L-Dopa

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

    Terminal half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration of drug to decrease by one half. It was calculated as dividing the natural logarithm to the base e (Log e)*2/k el, where k el is the terminal phase rate constant calculated by a linear regression of the log-linear concentration-time curve.

  5. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinite Time of L-Dopa

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

    AUC (0 - inf)= Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero (pre-dose) to extrapolated infinite time (0 - inf). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - inf).

  6. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration of L-Dopa

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

    Area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (C last).

  7. Apparent Volume of Distribution (Vz/F) of L-Dopa

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours post-dose on Day 1

    Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/F) is influenced by the fraction absorbed.

    Time frame: Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hour post-dose on Day 22

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.

  11. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to End of Dosing Interval of PF-06649751

    Time frame: Pre-dose on Day 3, 4, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hour post-dose on Day 7, 13, 22

    Area under the concentration curve from time zero to end of dosing interval (AUCtau), where dosing interval was 12 hours.

  12. Minimum Observed Plasma Trough Concentration (Cmin) of PF-06649751

    Time frame: Pre-dose on Day 3, 4, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hour post-dose on Day 7, 13, 22

  13. Ratio of Accumulation for Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to End of Dosing Interval of PF-06649751

    Time frame: Pre-dose on Day 3, 4, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, Pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hour post-dose on Day 7, 13, 22

    Rac was obtained from AUCtau after last dose divided by AUCtau after first dose, where AUC(tau) = Area under the concentration curve from time zero to end of dosing interval (AUCtau), where dosing interval was 12 hours.
