Abstract
The inability of CD8+ effector T cells (Teffs) to reach tumor cells is an important aspect of tumor resistance to cancer immunotherapy. The recruitment of these cells to the tumor microenvironment (TME) is regulated by integrins, a family of adhesion molecules that are expressed on T cells. Here, we show that 7HP349, a small-molecule activator of lymphocyte function–associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and very late activation antigen-4 (VLA-4) integrin cell-adhesion receptors, facilitated the preferential localization of tumor-specific T cells to the tumor and improved antitumor response. 7HP349 monotherapy had modest effects on anti–programmed death 1–resistant (anti–PD-1–resistant) tumors, whereas combinatorial treatment with anti–cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated protein 4 (anti–CTLA-4) increased CD8+ Teff intratumoral sequestration and synergized in cooperation with neutrophils in inducing cancer regression. 7HP349 intratumoral CD8+ Teff enrichment activity depended on CXCL12. We analyzed gene expression profiles using RNA from baseline and on treatment tumor samples of 14 melanoma patients. We identified baseline CXCL12 gene expression as possibly improving the likelihood or response to anti–CTLA-4 therapies. Our results provide a proof-of-principle demonstration that LFA-1 activation could convert a T cell–exclusionary TME to a T cell–enriched TME through mechanisms involving cooperation with innate immune cells.

Abstract
Background:Tanezumab, a monoclonal antibody against nerve growth factor, is in development for the treatment of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA).Objectives:To assess the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) tanezumab in patients with OA.Methods:Data were derived from 3 randomized placebo-controlled OA trials. SC treatment (every 8 weeks for 16–24 weeks with 8–24 week follow-up) included placebo, tanezumab 2.5 mg, tanezumab 2.5/5 mg (2.5 mg at day 1 and 5 mg at week 8), and tanezumab 5 mg. Overall treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of abnormal peripheral sensation were pooled from all 3 trials (placebo N = 586; tanezumab: 2.5 mg N = 602, 2.5/5 mg N = 219, 5 mg N = 347). Pre-specified TEAEs potentially associated with sympathetic neuropathy (anhidrosis, bradycardia, hypohidrosis, orthostatic hypotension, or syncope) and pre-specified joint events (primary osteonecrosis, rapidly progressive OA [RPOA] type 1 or type 2, subchondral insufficiency fracture, or pathological fracture; adjudicated by an independent committee of experts) were pooled from the 2 trials that included prospective evaluation of sympathetic and joint safety (placebo N = 514; tanezumab: 2.5 mg N = 528, 2.5/5 mg N = 219, 5 mg N = 284). TEAEs are presented for the treatment period; joint safety is presented for the full study (treatment plus follow up) period.Results:Patient demographics (80.7% white, 66.8% female, mean age ≈ 63 years) and clinical characteristics were similar across groups. TEAE rates were: placebo = 51.7%, tanezumab 2.5 mg = 52.3%, tanezumab 2.5/5 mg = 47.0%, and tanezumab 5 mg = 54.8%. Of TEAEs occurring in ≥2% of patients in any group, only oedema peripheral, joint stiffness, and paraesthesia had a higher incidence (95% confidence interval excluded 0) in any tanezumab group relative to placebo. Serious TEAE rates were: placebo = 1.5%, tanezumab 2.5 mg = 2.2%, tanezumab 2.5/5 mg = 1.4%, and tanezumab 5 mg = 2.6%. Rates of treatment and/or study discontinuation due to TEAEs were: placebo = 2.2%, tanezumab 2.5 mg = 1.8%, tanezumab 2.5/5 mg = 0.5%, and tanezumab 5 mg = 1.4%. Only arthralgia and OA led to discontinuation in >1 patient in any group. TEAEs of abnormal peripheral sensation rates were: placebo = 2.2%, tanezumab 2.5 mg = 5.1%, tanezumab 2.5/5 mg = 3.2%, and tanezumab 5 mg = 6.1%. Paraesthesia and hypoaesthesia were the most common events. Potential sympathetic neuropathy TEAE rates were: placebo = 0.8%, tanezumab 2.5 mg = 1.5%, tanezumab 2.5/5 mg = 0.5%, and tanezumab 5 mg = 2.8%; exposure-adjusted rates were not statistically different between any tanezumab group and placebo. Bradycardia and orthostatic hypotension were the most common events. No patient was considered to have a sympathetic neuropathy. TEAEs of abnormal peripheral sensation and potential sympathetic neuropathy were mostly mild and resolved. Joint safety event rates were statistically different for tanezumab 5mg (3.2%), but not 2.5mg (1.9%) or 2.5/5mg (0.5%), compared to placebo (0%). RPOA type-1 was the most common event. Total joint replacement rates were: placebo = 4.5%, tanezumab 2.5 mg = 5.9%, tanezumab 2.5/5 mg = 6.8%, and tanezumab 5 mg = 7.0%; rates were not statistically different between any tanezumab group and placebo.Conclusion:Tanezumab was generally safe and well tolerated in most patients, with rates of overall TEAEs and treatment/study discontinuations similar to placebo and no evidence of a sympathetic safety signal. TEAEs of abnormal peripheral sensation and joint safety events were infrequent but more common with tanezumab than placebo.Disclosure of Interests:Francis Berenbaum Grant/research support from: TRB Chemedica (through institution), MSD (through institution), Pfizer (through institution), Consultant of: Novartis, MSD, Pfizer, Lilly, UCB, Abbvie, Roche, Servier, Sanofi-Aventis, Flexion Therapeutics, Expanscience, GSK, Biogen, Nordic, Sandoz, Regeneron, Gilead, Bone Therapeutics, Regulaxis, Peptinov, 4P Pharma, Paid instructor for: Sandoz, Speakers bureau: Novartis, MSD, Pfizer, Lilly, UCB, Abbvie, Roche, Servier, Sanofi-Aventis, Flexion Therapeutics, Expanscience, GSK, Biogen, Nordic, Sandoz, Regeneron, Gilead, Sandoz, Thomas Schnitzer Consultant of: Pfizer, Lilly, AstraZeneca, GSK, Alan Kivitz Shareholder of: AbbVie, Amgen, Gilead, GSK, Pfizer Inc, Sanofi, Consultant of: AbbVie, Boehringer Ingelheim,,Flexion, Genzyme, Gilead, Janssen, Novartis, Pfizer Inc, Regeneron, Sanofi, SUN Pharma Advanced Research, UCB, Paid instructor for: Celgene, Genzyme, Horizon, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, Regeneron, Sanofi, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Celgene, Flexion, Genzyme, Horizon, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer Inc, Regeneron, Sanofi, Lars Viktrup Shareholder of: Eli Lilly and Company, Employee of: Eli Lilly and Company, Anne Hickman Shareholder of: Pfizer Inc, Employee of: Pfizer Inc, Glenn Pixton Shareholder of: Pfizer Inc, Employee of: Pfizer Inc, Mark Brown Shareholder of: Pfizer Inc, Employee of: Pfizer Inc, Isabelle Davignon Shareholder of: Pfizer, Employee of: Pfizer, Christine West Shareholder of: Pfizer Inc, Employee of: Pfizer Inc

Abstract
Background:Tanezumab, a monoclonal antibody against nerve growth factor (NGF), is in development for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).Objectives:To assess the effects of gender, age and body mass index (BMI) on the incidence of adverse events (AEs) in patients (pts) treated with subcutaneous (SC) tanezumab in pooled data from three phase 3 OA studies. Anti-NGF therapy has been associated with joint safety events1. Here we focus on treatment emergent AEs, including abnormalities of peripheral sensation (APS).Methods:All three randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies enrolled pts with radiographically-confirmed OA of the hip or knee, who had inadequate response or could not tolerate standard of care analgesics. In the 16-week (wk) Study 1 (NCT01089725), pts received placebo, tanezumab 2.5 mg, 5 mg or 10 mg at baseline and wk 82. Due to a clinical hold on NGF antibodies, <10% of pts received the 2nddose at wk 8. Pts in the 16-wk Study 2 (NCT02697773), received placebo or tanezumab 2.5 mg at baseline and wk 8 or tanezumab 2.5mg at baseline and 5mg at wk 81. Pts in the 24-wk Study 3 (NCT02709486), received placebo, tanezumab 2.5 mg or 5 mg at baseline, wks 8 and 16. All treatments were given SC. AE data from the treatment period of each study were pooled for placebo, tanezumab 2.5 mg and 5 mg groups and examined by subgroups of gender, age and BMI. Data from the 10 mg group of Study 1 were not included due to the low sample size.Results:The incidence of any AE was numerically higher in females across treatment groups and in pts with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2in the tanezumab 5mg, but not 2.5 mg group, vs the overall population (Table 1). SAEs were infrequent but numerically higher across all tanezumab 5 mg subgroups vs placebo (Table 2). Paraesthesia and hypoaesthesia were the most common AEs of APS and were increased in all tanezumab groups in the overall population vs placebo. In any of the subgroups, the incidence of paraesthesia or hypoaesthesia was ≤7.8% and ≤3.9%, respectively. The difference within a patient subgroup for paraesthesia or hypoaesthesia was typically comparable with that of the overall population across treatments.Table 1.Incidence of AEs during the treatment period% of pts with an AE in each subgroupPlacebon=586Tanezumab2.5 mgn=602Tanezumab2.5 mg/5 mg n=219Tanezumab5 mgn=347Overall population51.752.347.054.8Gender Male51.149.741.346.6 Female52.053.650.459.0Age (years) <6555.054.044.054.5 ≥6547.250.052.654.9BMI (kg/m2) <2558.146.651.945.5 25–<3051.455.943.750.0 30–<3549.251.543.258.9 ≥3552.752.355.360.9BMI, body mass index; kg/m2, kilogram per square metreTable 2.Incidence of SAEs during the treatment period% of pts with a SAE in each subgroupPlacebon=586Tanezumab2.5 mgn=602Tanezumab2.5 mg/5 mg n=219Tanezumab5 mgn=347Overall population1.52.21.42.6Gender Male1.63.01.32.5 Female1.51.71.42.6Age (years) <651.22.61.41.9 ≥652.01.61.33.1BMI (kg/m2) <251.61.102.3 25–<301.62.702.7 30–<351.62.01.43.1 ≥351.32.34.31.6BMI, body mass index; kg/m2, kilogram per square metreConclusion:This pooled analysis showed that the safety profile of tanezumab in the subgroups studied is broadly similar to that of the overall study population.References:[1]Schnitzer, T.

The Effect of Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Ertugliflozin in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 57:1432-1443. [PMID: 28703316 PMCID: PMC5655776 DOI: 10.1002/jcph.955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2017] [Revised: 04/28/2017] [Accepted: 05/09/2017] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Ertugliflozin is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 in development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The glycemic efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors such as ertugliflozin depends on glucose filtration through the kidney. This phase 1, open-label study evaluated the effect of renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability of ertugliflozin (15 mg) in type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy subjects with normal renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate not normalized for body surface area ≥90 mL/min) and type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects with mild (60-89 mL/min), moderate (30-59 mL/min), or severe (<30 mL/min) renal impairment (n = 36). Blood and urine samples were collected predose and over 96 hours postdose for pharmacokinetic evaluation and measurement of urinary glucose excretion over 24 hours. Log-linear regression analyses indicated predicted mean area under the concentration-time curve values for mild, moderate, and severe renal function groups that were ≤70% higher relative to subjects with normal renal function. Generally consistent results were obtained with categorical analysis based on analysis of variance. The increase in ertugliflozin exposure in subjects with renal impairment is not expected to be clinically meaningful. Regression analysis of change from baseline in urinary glucose excretion over 24 hours vs estimated glomerular filtration rate showed a decrease in urinary glucose excretion with declining renal function. A single 15-mg dose of ertugliflozin was well tolerated in all groups.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that a common theme links the diverse elements of pineal photoneuroendocrine transduction--regulation via binding to 14-3-3 proteins. The elements include photoreception, neurotransmission, signal transduction and the synthesis of melatonin from tryptophan. We review general aspects of 14-3-3 proteins and their biological function as binding partners, and also focus on their roles in pineal photoneuroendocrine transduction.

Abstract
This paper describes the role 14-3-3 proteins play in vertebrate photoneuroendocrine transduction. 14-3-3 proteins form a complex with arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT), the enzyme which turns melatonin production on during the day and off at night. Complex formation is triggered at night by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme, and results in activation and protection against proteolysis. This enhances melatonin production >10-fold. Light exposure results in dephosphorylation of the enzyme and disassociation from 14-3-3, leading to destruction and a rapid drop in melatonin production and release and circulating levels.

Abstract
The role of the proximal histidine ligand in peroxidase function was studied by replacing the His side chain in cytochrome c peroxidase with Gln, Glu, or Cys. In addition, a double mutant was prepared where His-175 is converted to Gln and the site of free radical formation in Compound I, Trp-191 (Sivaraja, M., Goodin, D.B., Smith, M., and Hoffman, B. M. (1989) Science 245, 738-740), is converted to Phe. With the exception of the His-175-->Cys mutant, the proximal ligand mutants retain high levels of enzyme activity. Stopped flow studies show that replacing the His ligand with Gln has only a modest effect on the rate of Compound I formation demonstrating that the precise nature of the proximal ligand is not important in achieving a high rate of peroxide O-O bond cleavage. The double mutant, His-175-->Gln/Trp-191-->Phe, also forms Compound I rapidly but the initial product formed is very likely a long-lived porphyrin pi cation radical that slowly converts to a species more closely resembling the heme oxyferryl center of wild type Compound I. The relevance of these studies to the cytochrome c peroxidase-cytochrome c electron transfer system are discussed.

Abstract
A study to determine the value of the BACTEC resin-containing medium, 16B, used in conjunction with radiometric detection of bacteremia using three media was conducted. During a six-month period, 2,104 blood-culture sets consisting of the four media (6B, 7C, 8B, and 16B) were collected. There were 158 significant positive cultures (excluding contaminants) that yielded 168 pathogenic isolates. The data were divided into two patient groups: patients receiving antibiotics and patients not receiving antibiotics. In contrast to previous studies, there was no significant difference in the detection rate of significant positive cultures by the different media in either group of patients. However, in patients receiving antimicrobial therapy, 41 of 55 significant positive cultures (74.5%) were detected by 16B medium, while 34 of 55 (61.8%) were detected by 6B medium. Although this difference is not statistically significant, this trend suggests that 16B medium may be useful in these patients. However, the isolation rate of significant positive cultures is the same for the resin medium and the hypertonic aerobic medium for both groups of patients. Thus, it is possible that the hypertonic medium is as efficacious as resin-containing media in blood culturing.
