Background

HS-10366 (generic name: ibrexafungerp) is a first-in-class and orally active triterpenoid antifungal agent with broad antifungal activity against Candida spp, Aspergillus spp, and other fungal pathogens. It was approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis. The study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of oral HS-10366 in healthy Chinese adults.

SAD: single ascending dose.

MAD: multiple ascending doses.

Methods

A single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD, n=42) and multiple ascending dose (MAD, n=28) study was conducted in healthy Chinese subjects from March to October 2022. There were three cohorts in SAD stage (300, 600 and 1500 mg) and two cohorts in MAD stage (450 mg QD for 7 days; a loading dose as 750 mg BID for first 2 days followed by a maintenance dose of 750 mg QD for consecutive 5 days). Eligible participants in each cohort were randomly assigned in a 6:1 ratio to receive either HS-10366 or placebo orally. The primary objectives were to evaluate the safety and tolerability. The secondary objectives were to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters mainly including Cmax, AUC and T1/2.

Results

A total of 70 healthy Chinese subjects were enrolled in the study. Mean (SD) age was 29.0 (6.32) and 55.7% were male. All treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate. There were no serious adverse events, no subjects were discontinued due to TEAEs, and all TEAEs were recovered or resolved. The most common TEAEs were diarrhea, abdominal pain and nausea in both SAD and MAD. In SAD stage, Cmax and AUC increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner in the dose range of 300-1500 mg. T1/2 was within 18.29-21.30 hours. In MAD stage, the accumulation ratio for Cmax and AUC indicated a mild to moderate accumulation after continuous dosing.

Conclusion

This phase 1 study demonstrates a favorable safety, tolerability and PK profile of HS-10366 in healthy Chinese subjects.

Drug-related TEAEs in MAD stage.

The percentage was calculated using the number of subjects in each dose group of the safety analysis set as the denominator. Adverse events associated with the study drug were defined as those in which the association with the study drug during administration was “definitely relevant”, “probably relevant”, or “undetermined”. Adverse events were coded based on MedDRA 25.1.
