Abstract
The purpose of this study was to understand the views and experiences of patients enrolled and staff involved in the prehabilitation of elective patients undergoing cardiac surgery trial. This sub-study was informed by normalisation process theory, a framework for evaluating complex interventions, and used consecutive sampling to recruit patients assigned to both the intervention and control groups. Patients and all staff involved in delivering the trial were invited to participate in focus groups, which were recorded, transcribed verbatim and subjected to reflexive thematic analysis. Five focus groups were held comprising 24 participants in total (nine patients assigned to the prehabilitation; seven assigned to control; and eight staff). Five themes were identified. First, preparedness for surgery reduced fear, where participants described that knowing what to expect from surgery and preparing the body physically increased feelings of control and subsequently reduced apprehension regarding surgery. Second, staff were concerned but trusted in a safe environment, describing how, despite staff's concerns regarding the risks of exercise in this population, the patients felt safe in their care whilst participating in an exercise programme in hospital. Third, rushing for recovery and the curious carer, where patients from both groups wanted to mobilise quickly postoperatively whilst staff visited patients on the ward to observe their recovery progress. Fourth, to survive and thrive postoperatively, reflecting staff and patients' expectations from the trial and what motivated them to participate. Fifth, benefits are diluted by lengthy waiting periods, reflecting the frustration felt by patients waiting for their surgery after completing the intervention and the fear about continuing exercise at home before they had been 'fixed'. To conclude, functional exercise capacity may not have improved following prehabilitation in people before elective cardiac surgery due to concerns regarding the safety of exercise that may have hindered delivery and receipt of the intervention. Instead, numerous non-physical benefits were elicited. The information from this qualitative study offers valuable recommendations regarding refining a prehabilitation intervention and conducting a subsequent trial.

Abstract
The feasibility, safety and efficacy of prehabilitation in adult patients awaiting elective cardiac surgery are unknown. A total of 180 participants undergoing elective cardiac surgery were allocated randomly to receive either standard pre-operative care or prehabilitation, consisting of pre-operative exercise and inspiratory muscle training. The primary outcome was change in six-minute walk test distance from baseline to pre-operative assessment. Secondary outcomes included change in inspiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure); sarcopenia (handgrip strength); quality of life and compliance. Safety outcomes were pre-specified surgical and pulmonary complications and adverse events. All outcomes were assessed at baseline; at pre-operative assessment; and 6 and 12 weeks following surgery. Mean (SD) age was 64.7 (10.2) years; 33/180 (18%) were women. In total, 65/91 (71.4%) participants who were allocated to prehabilitation attended at least four of eight supervised in-hospital exercise classes; participants aged > 50 years were more likely than younger participants to attend (odds ratio (95%CI) of 4.6 (1.0-25.1)). Six-minute walk test was not significantly different between groups (mean difference (95%CI) -7.8 m (-30.6-15.0), p = 0.503) in the intention-to-treat analysis. Subgroup analyses based on tests for interaction indicated improvements in six-minute walk test distance were larger amongst sarcopenic patients in the prehabilitation group (p = 0.004). Change in maximal inspiratory pressure from baseline to all time-points was significantly greater in the prehabilitation group, with the greatest mean difference (95%CI) observed 12 weeks after surgery (10.6 cmH2 O (4.6-16.6) cmH2 O, p < 0.001). There were no differences in handgrip strength or quality of life up to 12 weeks after surgery. There was no significant difference in postoperative mortality (one death in each group), surgical or pulmonary complications. Of 71 pre-operative adverse events, six (8.5%) were related to prehabilitation. The combination of exercise and inspiratory muscle training in a prehabilitation intervention before cardiac surgery was not superior to standard care in improving functional exercise capacity measured by six-minute walk test distance pre-operatively. Future trials should target patients living with sarcopenia and include inspiratory muscle strength training.

Abstract
BTK plays an important role in B cell receptor and Toll-like receptor signaling pathways, which are constitutively active in primary CNS lymphomas, and hence represents an excellent therapeutic target. Ibrutinib, a first-generation BTKi, was evaluated in phase 1/2 trials for R/R PCNSL, SCNSL, and PVRL, showing limited survival benefit. GB5121 is a novel, orally available, covalent BTKi with superior specificity, CNS penetration, and CNS target occupancy in preclinical testing versus other BTKis including ibrutinib. GB5121 is well-suited for evaluation in CNS lymphoma. This is a phase 1b/2 open-label study of GB5121 in adults with R/R PCNSL, isolated SCNSL or PVRL and will be conducted in three parts: phase 1b dose-escalation, expansion, and phase 2. Eligibility criteria for phase 1b dose-escalation and expansion (N≈30 for each) include age ≥18 years, ECOG≤2, R/R PCNSL, R/R SCNSL with CNS-only relapse, or R/R PVRL. Patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL who cannot tolerate standard high-dose methotrexate-based therapies are also eligible. Patients with prior allogeneic stem cell transplant are excluded. A Bayesian optimal interval design will be employed to perform dose escalation to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). In the absence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), dose levels will increase sequentially according to a modified Fibonacci approach. Safety, tolerability, PK/PD, DLT, maximum tolerated dose, and preliminary therapeutic activity will be assessed to determine the optimal biological dose informing the RP2D. Phase 1b expansion will further explore therapeutic activity and characterize safety and tolerability of GB5121 at the RP2D. Phase 2 will initiate following RP2D determination. This is a single-arm, open-label study to investigate GB5121 safety and efficacy in patients with R/R PCNSL. Adverse events will be graded per CTCAE v5.0. Clinical response will be determined using International Primary CNS Lymphoma Collaborative Group criteria. Progression-free and overall survival will be evaluated. Enrollment begins May 2022 (NCT05242146).

Abstract
Aims Filgotinib is a potent, oral, JAK1‐preferential inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This report describes exposure‐response (ER) analyses of filgotinib for dose confirmation based on three phase 3 and two phase 2 studies in moderate to severe RA patients. Methods The pharmacokinetic exposures used in ER analyses were derived from population pharmacokinetic analysis. The exposure‐efficacy relationships were assessed for efficacy endpoints (ACR20/50/70 and DAS28) over effective area under curve (AUCeff), the combined exposures of filgotinib and GS‐829845 (major, active metabolite), with nonlinear logistic regression models developed. Also, a t‐test was performed to compare the exposure between subjects who achieved response and those who did not. For the ER analyses of safety, exposures were examined between subjects who experienced and who did not experience the evaluated safety events, which was conducted separately for filgotinib and GS‐829845. Results The nonlinear logistic regression showed increasing response with increasing exposure, with exposures at 200 mg dose primarily residing on the curve plateau. Also, AUCeff was significantly higher in the subjects who achieved responses compared to those who did not (10 900 vs 9900 h*ng/mL for ACR20, P value < .0001). For exposure‐safety analyses, filgotinib and GS‐829845 exposures were similar irrespective of the presence/absence of the evaluated safety endpoints, indicating no exposure‐safety relationship for common treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs)/laboratory abnormalities and serious TEAEs/infections. Conclusions ER analyses confirmed that filgotinib produced more robust therapeutic effects across the exposure range observed at 200 mg once daily compared to lower doses, and collectively with the lack of exposure‐safety relationship, the 200 mg once daily dose was supported for commercialization.

Abstract
Remdesivir (RDV, Veklury®) is a once-daily, nucleoside ribonucleic acid polymerase inhibitor of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 replication. Remdesivir has been granted approvals in several countries for use in adults and children hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Inside the cell, remdesivir undergoes metabolic activation to form the intracellular active triphosphate metabolite, GS-443902 (detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells), and ultimately, the renally eliminated plasma metabolite GS-441524. This review discusses the pre-clinical pharmacology of RDV, clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics/concentration-QT analysis, rationale for dose selection for treatment of patients with COVID-19, and drug–drug interaction potential based on available in vitro and clinical data in healthy volunteers. Following single-dose intravenous administration over 2 h of an RDV solution formulation across the dose range of 3–225 mg in healthy participants, RDV and its metabolites (GS-704277and GS-441524) exhibit linear pharmacokinetics. Following multiple doses of RDV 150 mg once daily for 7 or 14 days, major metabolite GS-441524 accumulates approximately 1.9-fold in plasma. Based on pharmacokinetic bridging from animal data and available human data in healthy volunteers, the RDV clinical dose regimen of a 200-mg loading dose on day 1 followed by 100-mg maintenance doses for 4 or 9 days was selected for further evaluation of pharmacokinetics and safety. Results showed high intracellular concentrations of GS-443902 suggestive of efficient conversion from RDV into the triphosphate form, and further supporting this clinical dosing regimen for the treatment of COVID-19. Mathematical drug–drug interaction liability predictions, based on in vitro and phase I data, suggest RDV has low potential for drug–drug interactions, as the impact of inducers or inhibitors on RDV disposition is minimized by the parenteral route of administration and extensive extraction. Using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, RDV is not predicted to be a clinically significant inhibitor of drug-metabolizing enzymes or transporters in patients infected with COVID-19 at therapeutic RDV doses.

Abstract
Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) disease, including multisystem inflammatory syndrome, has been reported in children. This report summarizes development of a remdesivir physiologically‐based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model that accurately describes observed adult remdesivir and metabolites exposure and predicts pediatric remdesivir and metabolites exposure. The adult PBPK model was applied to predict pediatric remdesivir and metabolites steady‐state exposures using the Pediatric Population Model in SimCYP and incorporated the relevant physiologic and mechanistic information. Model development was based on adult phase I exposure data in healthy volunteers who were administered a 200‐mg loading dose of remdesivir intravenous (IV) over 0.5 hours on Day 1, then 100‐mg daily maintenance doses of IV over 0.5 hours starting on Day 2 and continuing through Days 5 or 10. Simulations indicated that use of the adult therapeutic remdesivir dosage regimen (200‐mg loading dose on Day 1 then 100‐mg daily maintenance dose starting on Day 2) in pediatric patients ≥ 40 kg and a weight‐based remdesivir dosage regimen (5‐mg/kg loading dose on Day 1 then 2.5‐mg/kg daily maintenance dose starting on Day 2) in pediatric patients weighing 2.5 to < 40 kg is predicted to maintain therapeutic exposures of remdesivir and its metabolites. The comprehensive PBPK model described in this report supported remdesivir dosing in planned pediatric clinical studies and dosing in the emergency use authorization and pediatric compassionate use programs that were initiated to support remdesivir as a treatment option during the pandemic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Idelalisib is an orally administered, highly selective inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-δ. In this phase 1b study, the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of idelalisib, an oral inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-δ, were evaluated in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. METHODS In total, six patients (follicular lymphoma: n = 3, chronic lymphocytic leukemia: n = 3) were enrolled to receive idelalisib 150 mg twice daily. RESULTS No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. The most common adverse events were diarrhea (n = 5), gastritis (n = 3), insomnia (n = 3) and pyrexia (n = 3). The most common ≥grade 3 adverse events were diarrhea (n = 2), increased transaminase levels (n = 2) and decreased appetite (n = 2). The maximum idelalisib plasma concentrations (Cmax) were achieved at 2.50 h (range: 1.50-4.00 h). The mean idelalisib plasma concentrations decreased over time but remained detectable in most patients at 12 h. All enrolled patients underwent efficacy evaluation by investigators, and five patients (follicular lymphoma: n = 2, chronic lymphocytic leukemia: n = 3) achieved partial response. The median duration of partial response was 14.5 months (range: 3.7-31.3 months). CONCLUSION Idelalisib 150 mg twice daily was considered tolerable in Japanese patients with follicular lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.(Clinical trial registration: NCT02242045).

Abstract
Firsocostat (FIR: previously GS-0976), a highly sensitive OATP substrate, reduces hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) by inhibiting acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACC). Measuring the pharmacodynamic (PD) efficacy of FIR on DNL provides a unique opportunity to determine optimal dosing strategies for liver-targeted OATP substrates in settings of altered OATP function. A randomized, four-way crossover drug-drug interaction study was conducted. Hepatic DNL, a marker for ACC activity, was measured in 28 healthy volunteers after reference, single dose FIR 10 mg, FIR 10 mg plus the OATP inhibitor rifampin (RIF) 300 mg i.v., or RIF 300 mg i.v. (control for DNL effect of RIF), each separated by a 7-day washout. Samples were collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) and PD assessments through 24 hours after each treatment. Hepatic DNL and its inhibition by FIR were assessed. Twenty-four subjects completed the study. All adverse events were mild. RIF alone increased hepatic DNL area under the effect curve from time of administration up to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUEClast ; 35.7%). Despite a 5.2-fold increase in FIR plasma exposure (area under the concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUCinf )) when administered with RIF, FIR alone, and FIR + RIF had the same hepatic PD effect, 37.1% and 34.9% reduction in DNL AUEClast , respectively, compared with their respective controls. These findings indicate that large decreases in OATP activity do not alter hepatic intracellular exposure (as inferred by no change in PD) for drugs that are primarily eliminated hepatically and permeability rate-limited, such as FIR. These results support PK theory that has been difficult to test and provide practical guidance on administration of liver-targeted drugs in settings of reduced OATP function.

Abstract
Suspended, plated, or sandwich-cultured human hepatocytes are routinely used for in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE) of transporter-mediated hepatic clearance (CL) of drugs. However, these hepatocyte models have been reported to underpredict transporter-mediated in vivo hepatic uptake CL (CL uptake,in vivo ) of some drugs. Therefore, we determined whether transporter-expressing cells (TECs) can accurately predict the CL uptake,in vivo of drugs. To do so, we determined the uptake CL (CL int,uptake,cells ) of rosuvastatin (RSV) by TECs (organic anion transporting polypeptides/Na+-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide) and then scaled it to that in vivo by relative expression factor (REF) (the ratio of transporter abundance in human livers and TEC) determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics. Both the TEC and hepatocyte models did not meet our predefined success criteria of predicting within 2-fold the RSV CL uptake,in vivo value obtained from our positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. However, the TEC performed better than the hepatocyte models. Interestingly, using REF, TECs successfully predicted RSV CL int,uptake,hep obtained by the hepatocyte models, suggesting that the underprediction of RSV CL uptake,in vivo by TECs and hepatocytes is due to endogenous factor(s) not present in these in vitro models. Therefore, we determined whether inclusion of plasma (or albumin) in TEC uptake studies improved IVIVE of RSV CL uptake,in vivo It did, and our predictions were close to or just fell above our lower 2-fold acceptance boundary. Despite this success, additional studies are needed to improve transporter-mediated IVIVE of hepatic uptake CL of drugs. However, using REF and TEC, we successfully predicted the magnitude of PET-imaged inhibition of RSV CL uptake,in vivo by cyclosporine A. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: We showed that the in vivo transporter-mediated hepatic uptake CL of rosuvastatin, determined by PET imaging, can be predicted (within 2-fold) from in vitro studies in transporter-expressing cells (TECs) (scaled using REF), but only when plasma proteins were included in the in vitro studies. This conclusion did not hold when plasma proteins were absent in the TEC or human hepatocyte studies. Thus, additional studies are needed to improve in vitro to in vivo extrapolation of transporter-mediated drug CL.

Abstract
Filgotinib (FIL) is a potent and selective JAK1 inhibitor in clinical development for treatment of severe inflammatory diseases. A drug-drug interaction study to evaluate the potential effect of FIL on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the oral contraceptive levonorgestrel (LEVO)/ethinyl estradiol (EE) was conducted. This was a phase 1, open-label, randomized, crossover study in healthy female subjects (N = 24). Subjects received a single dose of LEVO (150 μg)/EE (30 μg) alone (reference), or in combination with multiple-dose FIL (200 mg once daily for 15 days; test). Intensive PK sampling was conducted, and safety was assessed throughout the study. PK interactions were evaluated using 90% confidence intervals of the geometric least squares mean ratios of the test versus reference treatments. All 24 subjects enrolled completed study treatments. Coadministration of FIL with the oral contraceptive did not alter the PK of LEVO and EE; the 90% confidence intervals of the geometric least squares mean ratios were contained within bioequivalence bounds (80%-125%). Exposures of FIL were consistent with observed clinical exposure data. Study treatments were generally well tolerated. All adverse events were mild. Coadministration with FIL did not alter the PK of LEVO/EE, and hormonal contraceptives can serve as an effective contraception method for subjects on FIL treatment.

Abstract
Remdesivir (RDV), a single diastereomeric monophosphoramidate prodrug that inhibits viral RNA polymerases, has potent in vitro antiviral activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome‐coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). RDV received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s emergency use authorization in the United States and approval in Japan for treatment of patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). This report describes two phase I studies that evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of single escalating and multiple i.v. doses of RDV (solution or lyophilized formulation) in healthy subjects. Lyophilized formulation was evaluated for potential future use in clinical trials due to its storage stability in resource‐limited settings. All adverse events were grade 1 or 2 in severity. Overall, RDV exhibited a linear profile following single‐dose i.v. administration over 2 hours of RDV solution formulation across the dose range of 3–225 mg. Both lyophilized and solution formulations provided comparable PK parameters. High intracellular concentrations of the active triphosphate (~ 220‐fold to 370‐fold higher than the in vitro half‐maximal effective concentration against SARS‐CoV‐2 clinical isolate) were achieved following infusion of 75 mg or 150 mg lyophilized formulation over 30 minutes or 2 hours. Following multiple‐doses of RDV 150 mg once daily for 7 or 14 days, RDV exhibited a PK profile similar to single‐dose administration. Metabolite GS‐441524 accumulated ~ 1.9‐fold after daily dosing. Overall, RDV exhibited favorable safety and PK profiles that supported once‐daily dosing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenofovir alafenamide shows high antiviral efficacy and improved renal and bone safety compared with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate when used for HIV treatment. Here, we report primary results from a blinded phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide versus emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV prevention. METHODS This study is an ongoing, randomised, double-blind, multicentre, active-controlled, phase 3, non-inferiority trial done at 94 community, public health, and hospital-associated clinics located in regions of Europe and North America, where there is a high incidence of HIV or prevalence of people living with HIV, or both. We enrolled adult cisgender men who have sex with men and transgender women who have sex with men, both with a high risk of acquiring HIV on the basis of their self-reported sexual behaviour in the past 12 weeks or their recent history (within 24 weeks of enrolment) of bacterial sexually transmitted infections. Participants with current or previous use of PrEP with emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate were not excluded. We used a computer-generated random allocation sequence to randomly assign (1:1) participants to receive either emtricitabine (200 mg) and tenofovir alafenamide (25 mg) tablets daily, with matched placebo tablets (emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide group), or emtricitabine (200 mg) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (300 mg) tablets daily, with matched placebo tablets (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group). As such, all participants were given two tablets. The trial sponsor, investigators, participants, and the study staff who provided the study drugs, assessed the outcomes, and collected the data were masked to group assignment. The primary efficacy outcome was incident HIV infection, which was assessed when all participants had completed 48 weeks of follow-up and half of all participants had completed 96 weeks of follow-up. This full analysis set included all randomly assigned participants who had received at least one dose of the assigned study drug and had at least one post-baseline HIV test. Non-inferiority of emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate was established if the upper bound of the 95·003% CI of the HIV incidence rate ratio (IRR) was less than the prespecified non-inferiority margin of 1·62. We prespecified six secondary bone mineral density and renal biomarker safety endpoints to evaluate using the safety analysis set. This analysis set included all randomly assigned participants who had received at least one dose of the assigned study drug. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02842086, and is no longer recruiting. FINDINGS Between Sept 13, 2016, and June 30, 2017, 5387 (92%) of 5857 participants were randomly assigned and received emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide (n=2694) or emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (n=2693). At the time of the primary efficacy analysis (ie, when all participants had completed 48 weeks and 50% had completed 96 weeks) emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide was non-inferior to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV prevention, as the upper limit of the 95% CI of the IRR, was less than the prespecified non-inferiority margin of 1·62 (IRR 0·47 [95% CI 0·19-1·15]). After 8756 person-years of follow-up, 22 participants were diagnosed with HIV, seven participants in the emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide group (0·16 infections per 100 person-years [95% CI 0·06-0·33]), and 15 participants in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group (0·34 infections per 100 person-years [0·19-0·56]). Both regimens were well tolerated, with a low number of participants reporting adverse events that led to discontinuation of the study drug (36 [1%] of 2694 participants in the emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide group vs 49 [2%] of 2693 participants in the emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate group). Emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide was superior to emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in all six prespecified bone mineral density and renal biomarker safety endpoints. INTERPRETATION Daily emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide shows non-inferior efficacy to daily emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate for HIV prevention, and the number of adverse events for both regimens was low. Emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide had more favourable effects on bone mineral density and biomarkers of renal safety than emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

Background:Filgotinib is an orally administered small molecule that provides selective inhibition of JAK1, a signaling molecule that helps drive inflammatory pathways underlying rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Objectives:Exposure-response (ER) analyses were performed for efficacy following completion of Phase 2 studies over a wide range of doses to support evaluation of 200mg and 100 mg once daily in Phase 3 studies. ER analyses were subsequently performed by using Phase 3 efficacy data to support selection of the proposed registrational dose. ER analyses for safety based on pooled Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies were conducted to examine the safety of evaluated doses.Methods:Population PK analyses were conducted to estimate plasma exposures of filgotinib and GS-829845 (major circulating active metabolite of filgotinib) in both Phase 2 (DARWIN 1 and DARWIN 2) and Phase 3 studies (FINCH 1, FINCH 2, and FINCH 3) encompassing a dose range of 25 to 100 mg twice daily and 50 to 200 mg once daily. As both filgotinib and GS-829845 contribute to efficacy via JAK1 inhibition, their exposures were combined into single parameters, AUCeff and Ctau-eff (effective area under the curve and effective concentration at trough, by accounting for relative inhibition potency and molecular weight) in the ER analyses for various efficacy endpoints (e.g ACR20/50/70 responses) at Week 12 and Week 24. The ER analyses for safety endpoints (the 5 most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events [TEAEs] and Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities, serious TEAEs, and serious infections) were performed separately for filgotinib and GS-829845 exposures to characterize the individual safety profile of each analyte. The 5 evaluated TEAEs were nausea, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, headache, and hypertension; the 5 Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities included lymphocytes decrease, glucose increase, phosphate decrease, triacylglycerol lipase increase, and creatine kinase increase.Results:In the ER analyses for efficacy based on Phase 2 studies, high response rates were demonstrated in ACR20/50/70 across all octile groups in subjects with RA receiving filgotinib and the ER supported further evaluation of both 200 mg and 100 mg once daily doses in Phase 3 clinical studies. Similarly, ER relationships based on pooled Phase 3 studies across various endpoints (e.g ACR20/50/70) consistently revealed high response rates across the exposure range for both the filgotinib 200 mg and 100 mg doses. A trend of increasing response with increasing exposure was observed over the exposure range for multiple secondary efficacy endpoints including ACR50 and ACR70 with the effective exposures at filgotinib 200 mg primarily residing on the plateau of the ER curves.Filgotinib was generally well-tolerated with no individual TEAE or Grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormality > 5% in the filgotinib 200 mg once daily group up to Week 12. No relationships were observed between filgotinib and GS-829845 exposures (AUC0-24 and Cmax) and the most frequent TEAEs, Grade 3/4 laboratory abnormalities, serious TEAEs, or serious infections up to Week 52.Conclusion:ER analyses demonstrate that both the 200 mg and 100 mg once daily filgotinib doses are efficacious in subjects with moderately to severely active RA without clear dose-dependent effects on safety. The trend towards greater efficacy with higher exposures for some secondary endpoints (ACR50 and ACR70) and a lack of exposure-safety relationship supports a dose of 200 mg once daily over 100 mg once daily since it presents the best benefit/risk ratio among the doses tested.Disclosure of Interests: :Amy Meng Shareholder of: Gilead Sciences, Employee of: Gilead, Kacey Anderson Shareholder of: Gilead Sciences, Employee of: Sciences, Cara Nelson Shareholder of: Gilead, Employee of: Gilead, Brian Kirby Shareholder of: Gilead, Employee of: Gilead, Liyun Ni Shareholder of: Gilead, Employee of: Gilead, Shu-Min Chuang Shareholder of: Gilead, Employee of: Gilead, Brian Kearney Shareholder of: Gilead, Employee of: Gilead, Anita Mathias Shareholder of: Gilead, Employee of: Gilead

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selgantolimod is a novel oral, selective Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) agonist in development for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). TLR8 is an endosomal innate immune receptor and a target for treatment of viral infections. This first-in-human study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of selgantolimod in healthy volunteers. METHODS Of 71 subjects enrolled, 59 received a single dose of selgantolimod (0.5, 1.5, 3 or 5 mg) or placebo, and 12 were evaluated for food effect. Safety, PK and PD activity by induction of cytokines, chemokines and acute phase proteins were assessed. PK/PD analyses were conducted. RESULTS Single doses of 0.5-5 mg were generally safe. No serious adverse events (AEs) or AEs leading to discontinuation were reported, and most were Grade 1 in severity. Selgantolimod displayed rapid absorption and dose-proportional PK and PD activity. Food had minimal effect on PK but resulted in diminished PD activity. In PK/PD analyses, near-saturation of induction for most evaluated biomarkers occurred at the 5-mg dose. CONCLUSIONS Single doses of up to 5 mg selgantolimod were safe and induced dose-dependent PD responses. These data support evaluation of selgantolimod in combination with other agents in future clinical studies of CHB. Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registration: ACTRN12616001646437.

Abstract
Background Combining antiviral regimens in the hepatitis C virus (HCV)/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-coinfected population can be complex as they share overlapping mechanisms for elimination that may result in drug interactions. The pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) with multiple antiretroviral (ARV) regimens were evaluated. Methods Healthy volunteers were enrolled into 2 phase 1, open-label, randomized, multiple-dose, cross-over studies. SOF/VEL and ARV regimens were administered alone and in combination; ARVs (and pharmacokinetic enhancers) included atazanavir (ATV), cobicistat (COBI), darunavir (DRV), dolutegravir (DTG), efavirenz (EFV), elvitegravir (EVG), emtricitabine (FTC), lopinavir (LPV), raltegravir (RAL), rilpivirine (RPV), ritonavir (RTV), tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Geometric least squares means ratios (coadministration:alone) and 90% confidence intervals were constructed for area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval, maximum concentration, and trough, for all analytes. Safety and tolerability were also evaluated. Results In total, 237 participants were enrolled. No clinically relevant differences in the pharmacokinetics (PK) of SOF, SOF metabolite GS-331007, or VEL were observed other than an approximate 50% decrease in VEL exposure when administered with EFV/FTC/TDF. No clinically relevant differences in the PK of ARVs were observed when administered with SOF/VEL. Study treatments were well tolerated, including no observed creatinine clearance changes during evaluation of TDF-containing regimens. Conclusions SOF/VEL and ARV regimens including ATV, COBI, DRV, DTG, EVG, FTC, LPV, RAL, RPV, RTV, TAF, or TDF may be coadministered without dose adjustment. Use of SOF/VEL with EFV-containing regimens is not recommended due to an approximate 50% reduction in VEL exposure.

Abstract
Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (Harvoni®), a fixed-dose combination tablet of an NS5A inhibitor ledipasvir and an NS5B polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir, is approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir exhibits a favorable drug-drug interaction profile and can be administered with various medications that may be used by hepatitis C virus-infected patients, including patients with comorbidities, such as co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus or immunosuppression following liver transplantation. Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is not expected to act as a victim or perpetrator of cytochrome P450- or UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1-mediated drug-drug interactions. With the exception of strong inducers of P-glycoprotein, such as rifampin, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir is not expected to act as a victim of clinically relevant drug-drug interactions. As a perpetrator of pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions via P-glycoprotein/BCRP, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir should not be used with rosuvastatin and elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, whereas its co-administration with amiodarone is not recommended because of a pharmacodynamic interaction. This review summarizes a number of drug interaction studies conducted in support of the clinical development of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir.

Abstract
Rifampin demonstrated dose‐dependent relative induction between cytochrome P (CYP)3A and P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp), organic anion transporting polypeptides (OATPs), or CYP2C9; P‐gp, OATP, and CYP2C9 induction was one drug–drug interaction (DDI) category lower than that observed for CYP3A across a wide range of pregnane X receptor (PXR) agonism. The objective of this study was to determine if these relationships could be utilized to predict transporter induction by other CYP3A inducers (rifabutin and carbamazepine) and of another P‐gp substrate, sofosbuvir. Healthy subjects received sofosbuvir and a six‐probe drug cassette before and after 300 mg q.d. rifabutin or 300 mg b.i.d. carbamazepine. Induction of P‐gp, CYP2C9, and decreased sofosbuvir exposure were successfully predicted by observed CYP3A induction. Carbamazepine induction of OATP was underpredicted, likely due to reported additional non‐PXR agonism. The results demonstrate that the effect of a PXR agonist on CYP3A can be leveraged to inform on induction liability for other primarily PXR‐regulated P450s/transporters, allowing for prioritization of targeted DDI assessments during new drug development.

Abstract
Several safe and highly effective direct-acting antiviral (DAA) drugs for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been developed and greatly increase the number of therapeutic options available to successfully treat HCV infection. However, because treatment regimens contain at least two drugs (e.g., elbasvir and grazoprevir, glecaprevir and pibrentasvir, or sofosbuvir with daclatasvir, simeprevir, ledipasvir, or velpatasvir) and up to five drugs (ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir plus dasabuvir with or without ribavirin), the potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs) becomes an important consideration for HCV-infected individuals with comorbidities that require concomitant medications, such as human immunodeficiency virus/HCV coinfection or immunosuppression after liver transplantation. This review details the pharmacokinetics and DDI potential of approved DAAs for the treatment of HCV infection.

Abstract
To predict the impact of liver cirrhosis on hepatic drug clearance using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, we compared the protein abundance of various phase 1 and phase 2 drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) in S9 fractions of alcoholic (n = 27) or hepatitis C (HCV, n = 30) cirrhotic versus noncirrhotic (control) livers (n = 25). The S9 total protein content was significantly lower in alcoholic or HCV cirrhotic versus control livers (i.e., 38.3 ± 8.3, 32.3 ± 12.8, vs. 51.1 ± 20.7 mg/g liver, respectively). In general, alcoholic cirrhosis was associated with a larger decrease in the DME abundance than HCV cirrhosis; however, only the abundance of UGT1A4, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)1A, and ADH1B was significantly lower in alcoholic versus HCV cirrhotic livers. When normalized to per gram of tissue, the abundance of nine DMEs (UGT1A6, UGT1A4, CYP3A4, UGT2B7, CYP1A2, ADH1A, ADH1B, aldehyde oxidase (AOX)1, and carboxylesterase (CES)1) in alcoholic cirrhosis and five DMEs (UGT1A6, UGT1A4, CYP3A4, UGT2B7, and CYP1A2) in HCV cirrhosis was <25% of that in control livers. The abundance of most DMEs in cirrhotic livers was 25% to 50% of control livers. CES2 abundance was not affected by cirrhosis. Integration of UGT2B7 abundance in cirrhotic livers into the liver cirrhosis (Child Pugh C) model of Simcyp improved the prediction of zidovudine and morphine PK in subjects with Child Pugh C liver cirrhosis. These data demonstrate that protein abundance data, combined with PBPK modeling and simulation, can be a powerful tool to predict drug disposition in special populations.

Abstract
Drug transporter and cytochrome P450 expression is regulated by shared nuclear receptors and, hence, an inducer should induce both, although the magnitude may differ. The objective of this study was to establish relative induction relationships between CYP3A and drug transporters (P-glycoprotein (P-gp), organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP)) or other P450s (CYP2C9 and CYP1A2) using ascending doses of the prototypical pregnane xenobiotic receptor (PXR) agonist, rifampin, to elicit weak, moderate, and strong PXR agonism. Healthy subjects received dabigatran etexilate, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, and a midazolam/tolbutamide/caffeine cocktail before and after rifampin 2, 10, 75, or 600 mg q.d. Unlike CYP3A, only moderate induction of P-gp, OATP, and CYP2C9 was observed and dose-dependent induction of P-gp, OATP, and CYP2C9 was always one drug-drug interaction category lower than observed for CYP3A, even when correcting for probe drug sensitivity. Data from this study establish proof-of-concept that P450 induction data can be leveraged to inform on the effect on transporters.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-associated respiratory tract infection is a leading cause of hospitalizations in infants for which no effective treatment exists. RSV infection is also an important cause of respiratory disease in adults and immunocompromised patients. Presatovir (GS-5806) is an orally bioavailable antiviral agent that inhibits fusion of RSV with host cell membranes. Here, results from 2 phase 1 studies that evaluated safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of presatovir in healthy adults following administration of single and multiple (7 days) once- or twice-daily ascending doses (first-in-human study) and in the presence or absence of food (food effect study) are described. Presatovir exhibited favorable safety and pharmacokinetic profiles that supported once-daily dosing. Presatovir exposure increased in an approximately dose-proportional manner across the evaluated dose range (single doses 25-300 mg; multiple doses 10-75 mg once daily for 7 days). Administration of presatovir with a high-fat meal did not alter exposure, supporting administration without regard to a meal in further clinical studies. These data were subsequently used to inform presatovir dosing regimens in a phase 2a challenge study of adults experimentally infected with RSV. Collectively, results from phase 1 evaluations and a phase 2a challenge study support further clinical investigation of presatovir for the treatment of RSV infection.

Abstract
Protein expression of major hepatobiliary drug transporters (NTCP, OATPs, OCT1, BSEP, BCRP, MATE1, MRPs, and P-gp) in cancerous (C, n = 8) and adjacent noncancerous (NC, n = 33) liver tissues obtained from patients with chronic hepatitis C with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCV-HCC) were quantified by LC-MS/MS proteomics. Herein, we compare our results with our previous data from noninfected, noncirrhotic (control, n = 36) and HCV-cirrhotic (n = 30) livers. The amount of membrane protein yielded from NC and C HCV-HCC tissues decreased (31%, 67%) relative to control livers. In comparison with control livers, with the exception of NTCP, MRP2, and MATE1, transporter expression decreased in NC (38%-76%) and C (56%-96%) HCV-HCC tissues. In NC HCV-HCC tissues, NTCP expression increased (113%), MATE1 expression decreased (58%), and MRP2 expression was unchanged relative to control livers. In C HCV-HCC tissues, NTCP and MRP2 expression decreased (63%, 56%) and MATE1 expression was unchanged relative to control livers. Compared with HCV-cirrhotic livers, aside from NTCP, OCT1, BSEP, and MRP2, transporter expression decreased in NC (41%-71%) and C (54%-89%) HCV-HCC tissues. In NC HCV-HCC tissues, NTCP and MRP2 expression increased (362%, 142%), whereas OCT1 and BSEP expression was unchanged. In C HCV-HCC tissues, OCT1 and BSEP expression decreased (90%, 80%) relative to HCV-cirrhotic livers, whereas NTCP and MRP2 expression was unchanged. Expression of OATP2B1, BSEP, MRP2, and MRP3 decreased (56%-72%) in C HCV-HCC tissues in comparison with matched NC tissues (n = 8), but the expression of other transporters was unchanged. These data will be helpful in the future to predict transporter-mediated hepatocellular drug concentrations in patients with HCV-HCC.

Abstract
Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (Harvoni®), a fixed-dose combination tablet of an NS5A inhibitor ledipasvir and an NS5B polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir, is approved in the US, European Union, Canada, and other regions for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in adults. Following absorption, ledipasvir reaches maximum plasma concentrations (T max) 4-4.5 h post-dose and is eliminated with a terminal half-life (t 1/2) of 47 h. Sofosbuvir undergoes intracellular activation to an active triphosphate GS-461203 (not detected in plasma) and ultimately to GS-331007, a predominant circulating metabolite, which is the primary analyte of interest in clinical pharmacology studies. Sofosbuvir is rapidly absorbed and eliminated from plasma (T max: 0.8-1 h; t 1/2: 0.5 h). The peak plasma concentrations for GS-331007 are achieved between 3.5 and 4 h post-dose; the elimination t 1/2 for GS-331007 is 27 h. Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir exhibits a favorable clinical pharmacology profile; it can be administered once daily without regard to food and does not require dose modification in hepatitis C virus-infected patients with any degree of hepatic impairment or mild to moderate renal impairment. The pharmacokinetic profiles of ledipasvir, sofosbuvir, and GS-331007 (predominant circulating metabolite of sofosbuvir) are not significantly affected by demographic variables; pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses reveal no exposure-response relationships for efficacy or safety. The review summarizes the clinical pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses for ledipasvir/sofosbuvir.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Velpatasvir (VEL; GS-5816) is a potent, pangenotypic hepatitis C virus (HCV), non-structural protein 5A inhibitor in clinical development for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. In vitro studies indicate that VEL may inhibit several drug transporters and be a substrate for enzyme/drug transport systems in vivo. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of VEL as a perpetrator or victim of metabolic- and transporter-based drug-drug interactions using complementary probe drugs. METHODS This Phase 1 study was a randomized, cross-over, open-label, single- and multiple-dose, five-cohort study. Serial blood samples were collected following oral administration of reference and test treatments. The primary pharmacokinetic parameters of each analyte were compared when administered alone or in combination. The 90% confidence intervals (CI) for the ratio of the geometric least-squares means of the test and reference treatments was calculated for each analyte and parameter of interest. RESULTS This study demonstrated that VEL is a weak (P-gp, OATP) to moderate (breast cancer resistance protein) transport inhibitor. As a victim of interactions, VEL is moderately affected by potent inhibitors and to a greater extent, potent inducers of enzyme/drug transporter systems. CONCLUSIONS The impact of specific transporters and overall contribution of drug transport vs. metabolizing enzymes on the disposition of VEL was characterized through the use of complementary probes, despite the lack of phenotypic specificity, and informs a broad range of drug-drug interaction recommendations.

Abstract
Although data are available on the change of expression/activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes in liver cirrhosis patients, corresponding data on transporter protein expression are not available. Therefore, using quantitative targeted proteomics, we compared our previous data on noncirrhotic control livers (n = 36) with the protein expression of major hepatobiliary transporters, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), bile salt export pump (BSEP), multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1), multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP)2, MRP3, MRP4, sodium taurocholate-cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATP)1B1, 1B3, 2B1, organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1), and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in alcoholic (n = 27) and hepatitis C cirrhosis (n = 30) livers. Compared with control livers, the yield of membrane protein from alcoholic and hepatitis C cirrhosis livers was significantly reduced by 56 and 67%, respectively. The impact of liver cirrhosis on transporter protein expression was transporter-dependent. Generally, reduced protein expression (per gram of liver) was found in alcoholic cirrhosis livers versus control livers, with the exception that the expression of MRP3 was increased, whereas no change was observed for MATE1, MRP2, OATP2B1, and P-gp. In contrast, the impact of hepatitis C cirrhosis on protein expression of transporters (per gram of liver) was diverse, showing an increase (MATE1), decrease (BSEP, MRP2, NTCP, OATP1B3, OCT1, and P-gp), or no change (BCRP, MRP3, OATP1B1, and 2B1). The expression of hepatobiliary transporter protein differed in different diseases (alcoholic versus hepatitis C cirrhosis). Finally, incorporation of protein expression of OATP1B1 in alcoholic cirrhosis into the Simcyp physiologically based pharmacokinetics cirrhosis module improved prediction of the disposition of repaglinide in liver cirrhosis patients. These transporter expression data will be useful in the future to predict transporter-mediated drug disposition in liver cirrhosis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS In Taiwan, patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are currently treated with pegylated interferon-alpha plus ribavirin, but interferon-based regimens can be poorly tolerated, especially by those with advanced liver disease and the elderly. Sofosbuvir, an oral nucleotide analogue inhibitor of HCV NS5B polymerase, is approved in Europe, the USA and Japan for treating chronic HCV infection. This phase 3b study examined the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin in Taiwanese patients with chronic genotype 2 HCV infection ± compensated cirrhosis. METHODS In this multicentre, open-label, phase 3b (NCT02021643) study, 87 patients (n = 43, treatment-naive; n = 44, treatment-experienced) received 12 weeks of treatment with sofosbuvir plus weight-based ribavirin. The primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients with sustained virological response 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation (SVR12). Safety and pharmacokinetic data were also collected. RESULTS All 87 patients (100%; 95% confidence interval, 92-100%) achieved SVR12, including the 13 patients with compensated cirrhosis. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were insomnia (16%, 14/87) and upper respiratory tract infection (16%, 14/87). No grade 3 or grade 4 AE was reported. There was one serious AE (biliary colic), which was deemed unrelated to study treatment. Laboratory abnormalities other than ribavirin-related reductions in haemoglobin were uncommon. CONCLUSIONS The results from this phase 3b study demonstrate that 12 weeks of treatment with the interferon-free regimen sofosbuvir plus ribavirin is effective and well tolerated in both treatment-naive and treatment-experienced Taiwanese patients with chronic genotype 2 HCV infection.

Abstract
In Korea, patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are typically treated with pegylated interferon-alpha plus ribavirin, but interferons are contraindicated in many patients and are often poorly tolerated, particularly by the elderly and those with advanced liver disease. No interferon-free treatment regimens are approved in Korea. Sofosbuvir is an oral nucleotide analog inhibitor of the HCV nonstructural 5B RNA polymerase. It is approved in the USA, European Union and Japan for treating a number of HCV genotypes, including genotype 2. Genotype 2 has a seroprevalence of 38-46% in Korea. This single-arm, phase 3b study (NCT02021643) examined the efficacy and safety of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin (12-week duration) in chronic genotype 2 HCV-infected treatment-naive and treatment-experienced Korean patients with and without cirrhosis. The proportion of patients with sustained virologic response 12 weeks after treatment discontinuation (SVR12) was 97% (125/129), with 96% (101/105) of treatment-naive and 100% (24/24) of treatment-experienced patients achieving SVR12. Two patients experienced virologic failure (n = 1, on-treatment failure; n = 1, relapse). No patient discontinued study treatment due to an adverse event (AE). The most common treatment-emergent AEs were headache (18%, 23/129) and pruritus (15%, 19/129). Few patients had grade 3 AEs (5%, 6/129) or grade 3 laboratory abnormalities (12%, 15/129). No grade 4 AE was reported. These data suggest that 12 weeks of treatment with the all-oral, interferon-free regimen of sofosbuvir plus ribavirin is effective and well tolerated in Korean patients with chronic genotype 2 HCV infection.

Abstract
Sofosbuvir and GS-0938 are distinct nucleotide analogues with activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) in vitro. We evaluated the antiviral activity and safety of sofosbuvir and GS-0938 alone and in combination in HCV genotype 1 patients. In this double-blind study, 40 treatment-naïve patients were randomly assigned to 4 treatment cohorts: (i) GS-0938 for 14 days, (ii) GS-0938 for 7 days followed by GS-0938 plus sofosbuvir for 7 days, (iii) sofosbuvir for 7 days followed by GS-0938 plus sofosbuvir for 7 days and (iv) GS-0938 plus sofosbuvir for 14 days. In each arm, 8 patients received active drug and 2 placebo. After 7 days of dosing, patients in all 4 dose groups experienced substantial reductions in HCV RNA, with median declines (Q1, Q3) of -4.50 (-4.66, -4.24) in Cohort 1, -4.55 (-4.97, -4.13) in Cohort 2, -4.65 (-4.78, -4.17) in Cohort 3 and -4.43 (-4.81, -4.13) in Cohort 4; patients receiving placebo had essentially no change in HCV RNA (+0.07 log(10) IU/mL). Seven days after the end of treatment, the proportions of patients with HCV RNA <15 IU/mL were 4 (50%), 8 (100%), 7 (88%) and 5 (63%) for Cohorts 1-4, respectively, vs 0 for placebo. No viral breakthrough or resistance mutations were observed. No serious adverse events or Grade 3 or 4 adverse events were reported. Sofosbuvir and GS-0938-alone and in combination--were well tolerated and led to substantial reductions in viral load. Sofosbuvir is undergoing further investigation as a possible backbone of an all-oral regimen for chronic HCV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND GS-9451 is a novel inhibitor of the HCV NS3/4A protease and demonstrates potent in vitro suppression of HCV genotype 1 replicons. METHODS The safety, pharmacokinetics and antiviral efficacy of GS-9451 were evaluated in a Phase I study in treatment-naive, HCV genotype-1-infected patients. Patients were randomized to 3 days of once-daily dosing with placebo (n=8) or GS-9451 60 mg (n=8 genotype 1a), 200 mg (n=8 genotype 1a; n=8 genotype 1b) or 400 mg (n=9 genotype 1a). Plasma samples were collected up to and on day 14 for pharmacokinetic evaluation, serum HCV RNA quantitation and NS3 sequencing. RESULTS No patients interrupted or discontinued dosing because of an adverse event. The median (range) maximal HCV RNA reductions from baseline were -0.88 (-1.24- -0.64), -3.19 (-3.31- -2.94) and -3.64 (-4.08- -3.54) log10 IU/ml in genotype 1a patients receiving 60, 200 and 400 mg/day GS-9451, respectively, and -3.48 (-3.54- -3.03) log10 IU/ml in genotype 1b patients receiving GS-9451 200 mg/day. Median half-life ranged from 14 to 17 h. Day 3 mean concentration at the end of dosing interval was 5.5- and 17-fold above protein-binding adjusted mean 50% effective inhibitory concentration in 200 mg and 400 mg cohorts, respectively. No resistance mutations were detected with GS-9451 60 mg/day. In the 200 mg/day or 400 mg/day groups, predominant mutations were NS3 R155 (R155K) in genotype 1a patients and D168 (D168E, D168V and D168G) in genotype 1b patients. CONCLUSIONS GS-9451 was well-tolerated. During 3 days of monotherapy, GS-9451 200 mg/day or 400 mg/day demonstrated potent antiviral activity in both HCV genotype 1a- and 1b-infected patients. GS-9451 is currently being evaluated in combination regimens with and without pegylated interferon-α.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS GS-5885 is an inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5A protein and exhibits potent suppression of genotype 1 HCV replicons. The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, antiviral activity, and resistance profile of once-daily GS-5885 doses of 1-90 mg were evaluated in patients with chronic genotype 1 HCV. METHODS Genotype 1 HCV-infected patients were randomized to 3 days of once-daily (QD) dosing with placebo (n=12) or GS-5885 1 mg (n=10), 3 mg (n=10), 10 mg (n=20), 30 mg (n=10), or 90 mg (n=10). Plasma samples for pharmacokinetics, HCV RNA, and NS5A sequencing were collected through day 14. RESULTS GS-5885 was well tolerated and resulted in median maximal reductions in HCV RNA ranging from 2.3 log(10) IU/ml (1 mg QD) to 3.3 log(10) IU/ml (10 mg QD in genotype 1b and 30 mg QD). E(max) modeling indicated GS-5885 30 mg was associated with>95% of maximal antiviral response to HCV genotype 1a. HCV RNA reductions were generally more sustained among patients with genotype 1b vs. 1a. Three of 60 patients had a reduced response and harbored NS5A-resistant virus at baseline. NS5A sequencing identified residues 30 and 31 in genotype 1a, and 93 in genotype 1b as the predominant sites of mutation following GS-5885 dosing. Plasma pharmacokinetics was consistent with QD dosing. CONCLUSIONS During 3 days of monotherapy, low doses of GS-5885 demonstrated significant antiviral activity in genotype 1a and 1b HCV-infected patients. GS-5885 is currently being evaluated in combination with direct antiviral regimens with and without peginterferon.
