UNASSIGNED
Central nervous system-derived interleukin-1β plays a role in mood disorders. P2X7 receptor activation by adenosine-triphosphate leads to the release of interleukin-1β.
UNASSIGNED
This first-in-human study evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a novel central nervous system-penetrant P2X7 receptor antagonist, JNJ-54175446, in healthy participants.
UNASSIGNED
The study had three parts: an ascending-dose study in fasted participants (0.5-300 mg JNJ-54175446); an ascending-dose study in fed participants (50-600 mg); and a cerebrospinal fluid study (300 mg). Target plasma concentrations were based on estimated plasma effective concentration (EC)50 (105 ng/mL) and EC90 (900 ng/mL) values for central nervous system P2X7 receptor binding.
UNASSIGNED
Seventy-seven participants received a single oral dose of JNJ-54175446 ( n=59) or placebo ( n=18). Area under the curve of concentration time extrapolated to infinity (AUC∞) increased dose-proportionally; maximum concentration (Cmax) of plasma (Cmax,plasma) increased less than dose-proportionally following single doses of JNJ-54175446. Because food increases bioavailability of JNJ-54175446, higher doses were given with food to evaluate safety at higher exposures. The highest Cmax,plasma reached (600 mg, fed) was 1475±163 ng/mL. JNJ-54175446 Cmax in cerebrospinal fluid, a proxy for brain penetration, was seven times lower than in total plasma; unbound Cmax,plasma and Cmax,CSF were comparable (88.3±35.7 vs 114±39 ng/mL). JNJ-54175446 inhibited lipopolysaccharide/3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP-induced interleukin-1β release from peripheral blood in a dose-dependent manner (inhibitory concentration (IC)50:82 ng/mL; 95% confidence interval: 48-94). Thirty-three of 59 (55.9%) participants reported at least one treatment-emergent adverse event; the most common adverse event being headache (11/59, 18.6%).
UNASSIGNED
Plasma exposure of JNJ-54175446 was dose-dependent. No serious adverse events occurred. Single-dose administration of JNJ-54175446>10 mg attenuated ex-vivo lipopolysaccharide-induced interleukin-1β release in peripheral blood. Passive brain penetration of JNJ-54175446 was confirmed.
