Background

OLO is a novel antifungal active vs. Aspergillus (including azole-resistant strains), resistant moulds (e.g., Lomentospora prolificans), and dimorphic moulds. In preclinical PKPD studies, a plasma level ≥ 0.2 µg/mL was required for efficacy similar to mould-active azoles.

Methods

Patients in Study 32 (N=100) received OLO (30 mg tablets) guided either by therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) based on baseline bodyweight and OLO pre-dose plasma levels (180 to 300 mg/day x 1 d to load then 120 to 240 mg/day, given BID or TID as appropriate) or a fixed dose (150 mg BID for 1d then 90 mg BID). For each subject, OLO PK profiles were determined over 1 or 2 dosing intervals, an additional 8 to 9 scheduled pre-dose samples were taken during the initial 84 days and every 1-3 months thereafter. Food intake was not constrained.

Results

Geometric mean steady-state OLO PK parameters in the 90 evaluable subjects were similar between the TDM and fixed dosing groups (Table). Mean OLO pre-dose concentrations were similar over time for all 100 patients regardless of group and regimen; drug concentration variability was slightly greater when TDM was not utilized (Figure).

Pre-dose levels were greater than the Cmin observed over a dosing interval in most subjects (range of pre-dose: Cmin ratio of 1 to 15.8). which may be due to food-triggered release from a deep compartment such as the liver. Exposures exceeding the PD target (≥ 0.2 µg/mL) were consistently achieved.

PK parameters predicted by population PK modelling of Phase II data were in reasonable agreement with observed data (Table).

Conclusion

OLO is a novel mechanism oral antifungal with broad-spectrum mould activity. When administered as a fixed dose (90 mg BID), adequate exposure for efficacy against invasive mycoses is achieved, without the need to confirm by TDM
