Abstract
Background
SpliSense is developing SPL84, an inhaled ASO for the treatment of pwCF carrying the 3849 +10kb C->T (3849) mutation. SPL84 fully restored CFTR function in patient-derived HNEs and HBEs. Preclinical toxicology studies in mice and monkeys and a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers (HVs) were conducted to support the ongoing Phase 2 study in 3849 pwCF.
Methods
In the preclinical toxicology studies, SPL84 was given via inhalation once a week for 9 weeks to mice and monkeys at dose levels of up to 54.4 mg/kg/week and 20.8 mg/kg/week, respectively. In the Phase 1 study, 32 subjects received a single inhaled dose of SPL84 at either 20, 40, 80, 160 mg or placebo (n=8 per cohort; 3:1 active:placebo). The primary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SPL84, and the secondary objective was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of SPL84.
Results
No SPL84-related clinical signs were observed in the preclinical toxicology studies. All of the microscopic changes in the lungs were regarded as non-adverse and reflected a normal clearance process for inhaled material. Systemic exposure in both species was low and the no observed adverse effect level for mice and monkeys was 54.4 and 20.8 mg/kg/week, respectively, which provided sufficient safety margins for the Phase 1 clinical doses.
SPL84 was well tolerated in the Phase 1 HV study, with no significant SPL84-related adverse events, and no significant effect on vital signs, clinical laboratory values, electrocardiogram, physical examination, or pulmonary function. Systemic exposure of SPL84 was low, as expected for an inhaled product, and tended to be dose dependent.
Conclusions
The safety and systemic exposure profile of SPL84 is similar across species (mice, monkeys, and humans). The preclinical and clinical safety profile of SPL84 is promising, with no clinical signs as well as low systemic exposure. This supported the initiation of an ongoing global Phase 2 study for the treatment of 3849 pwCF.
