目的:Saroglitazar是一种新型的过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPAR)激动剂,具有双重激动特性(α/γ)。由于强大的机械原理,我们的目的是在对熊去氧胆酸(UDCA)耐药或不耐受的原发性胆汁性胆管炎(PBC)患者中,检验使用saroglitazar的安全性和有效性.
方法:在这种双盲中,第二阶段概念验证试验,37例PBC患者随机接受saroglitazar4mg(n=13),saroglitazar2mg(n=14),或安慰剂(n=10)每天16周。主要功效终点是在第16周时碱性磷酸酶(ALP)水平的降低。
结果:在第16周时观察到平均ALP水平相对于基线在两个saroglitazar4mg(最小二乘[LS]平均值=-163.3U/L,SE=25.1,p<0.001)和2mg(LS平均值=-155.8U/L,SE=24.4,p<0.001)组,与安慰剂相比(LS平均值=-21.1U/L,SE=28.9)。用saroglitazar治疗导致在第4周ALP浓度的快速降低,这持续了整个研究持续时间。在saroglitazar4mg组中,11例(84.6%)患者发生了至少1例治疗引起的不良事件,2mg组中12例(85.7%)患者和安慰剂组中8例(80%)患者。在4名患者(4mg组中3名患者和2mg组中1名患者)中停止研究药物,因为在药物停止后转氨酶增加迅速恢复至基线值。
结论:Saroglitazar每天2mg和4mg均可耐受,并导致ALP的快速和持续改善。由于用4mg剂量观察到的肝酶升高的发生率较高,因此在2mg和1mg的日剂量下正在进行进一步的研究。临床医师。
■NCT03112681LAY总结:Saroglitazar导致原发性胆汁性胆管炎患者碱性磷酸酶水平快速持续改善。在saroglitazar4mg和2mg组中,碱性磷酸酶水平的平均降低百分比分别为49%和51%,而安慰剂组为3%。
OBJECTIVE: Saroglitazar is a novel peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist with dual agonistic properties (α/γ). Due to a strong mechanistic rationale, we aimed to test the safety and efficacy of saroglitazar in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who were either ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) resistant or intolerant.
METHODS: In this double-blind, phase II proof-of-concept
trial, 37 patients with PBC were randomized to saroglitazar 4 mg (n = 13), saroglitazar 2 mg (n = 14), or placebo (n = 10) daily for 16 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the reduction in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level at Week 16.
RESULTS: A significant reduction of mean ALP levels was observed at Week 16 relative to baseline in both the saroglitazar 4 mg (least-squares [LS] mean =-163.3 U/L, SE = 25.1, p <0.001) and 2 mg (LS mean =-155.8 U/L, SE = 24.4, p <0.001) groups, compared with placebo (LS mean =-21.1 U/L, SE = 28.9). Treatment with saroglitazar resulted in a rapid reduction of ALP concentration at Week 4 that was sustained through the
study duration. At least 1 treatment-emergent adverse event occurred in 11 (84.6%) patients in the saroglitazar 4 mg group, in 12 (85.7%) patients in the 2 mg group and in 8 (80%) patients in the placebo group.
Study drug was discontinued in 4 patients (3 patients in the 4 mg group and 1 patient in the 2 mg group) due to aminotransferase increases that promptly returned to baseline values after drug discontinuation.
CONCLUSIONS: Saroglitazar at 2 mg and 4 mg daily was tolerated and resulted in rapid and sustained improvements in ALP. Further studies are underway at a daily dose of 2 mg and 1 mg due to the higher incidence of elevated liver enzymes observed with the 4 mg dose. CLINICALTRIALS.
UNASSIGNED: NCT03112681 LAY SUMMARY: Saroglitazar resulted in a rapid and sustained improvement in alkaline phosphatase levels in patients with primary biliary cholangitis. The mean percentage reductions in alkaline phosphatase levels were 49% and 51% in the saroglitazar 4 mg and 2 mg groups compared to 3% in the placebo group.
