Background: AL-3778 is an orally-administered, first-in class hepatitis
B (HBV) capsid assembly modulator (CAM). We report the
safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) and antiviral activities of
AL-3778 alone and in combination with peginterferon-alpha-2a
(PegIFN) in a 28 day Phase 1b study with treatment-naı¨ve CHB
patients.
Methods: Safety and efficacy were assessed in HBeAg + non-cirrhotic
CHB patients with HBV DNA[20,000 IU/mL and elevated
ALT. Patients were treated for 28 days and followed off-treatment for
28 days. Patients were randomized to receive AL-3778 or matching
placebo at doses of 100 and 200 mg QD (5:1 active:placebo), 400 mg
and 600 mg BD (4:1) in the first four cohorts. Patients were randomized
to receive 1000 mg BD or placebo (7:2) in the highest
monotherapy dose cohort. Patients were randomized (10:10) to separate
treatment arms to receive PegIFN (180 lg SQ weekly 9 4) in
combination with AL-3778 (600 mg BD) or PegIFN plus placebo. PK
sampling was done after the first dose in each cohort followed by
trough measures (C0h) on Days 3, 7, 14, 21 and 29. Serum HBV DNA
was quantified using the TaqmanTM HBV Test v2.0 (Roche). Quantification
of HBV RNA was developed using the QuantigeneTM
hybridization-based assay format (Affymetrix).
Result: 73 HBeAg+ CHB patients were enrolled. They were predominantly
Asian with HBV genotype B and C, and mean HBV viral
load between 7.23–8.39 log10 IU/mL. AL-3778 was generally welltolerated
with no discontinuations. One patient in the 100 mg cohort
developed an SAE of palmar-plantar dysesthesia related to AL-3778
administration. Mean steady-state. AL-3778 trough concentrations
were two to fourfold above the protein-binding adjusted EC90 with
BD dosing but below this threshold with QD dosing. Dose-related
HBV DNA and HBV RNA reductions were observed but no statistically
significant changes in HBV serology parameters were observed
after 28 days of dosing. The largest mean HBV DNA reduction was
observed with the 600-mg BD AL-3778/PegIFN combination
(1.97 log IU/mL) which was greater than AL 3778 alone (1.72 log10)
or PegIFN alone (1.06 log10). After 28 days’ treatment, mean HBV
RNA (log10 copies/ml) changes from baseline were 0.00 in untreated,
-0.73 in PegIFN treated, -0.82 in 600-mg BD AL-3778 treated and
-1.5 in 600-mg BD AL-3778/PegIFN combination treated patients.
Changes in HBsAg levels were negligible, as expected from the short
treatment duration.
Conclusion: AL-3778 was well tolerated in CHB patients, with
predominantly Grade 1 and Grade 2, transient AEs. There was a nonlife
threatening rash SAE. Dose-related HBV DNA reductions and
HBV RNA reductions were observed, with evidence of additive
antiviral effects in combination with Peg-IFN. Reduction of serum
HBV RNA is consistent with the novel mechanism of action of AL-
3778, to disrupt efficient HBV RNA encapsidation.
