A phase 1 dose escalation study of the pyruvate kinase activator mitapivat (AG-348) in sickle cell disease.

Project description:Polymerization of deoxygenated hemoglobin S underlies the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD). In activating red blood cell pyruvate kinase and glycolysis, mitapivat (AG-348) increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and decreases the 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) concentration, an upstream precursor in glycolysis. Both changes have therapeutic potential for patients with SCD. Here, we evaluated the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of mitapivat in adults with SCD with no recent blood transfusions or changes in hydroxyurea or l-glutamine therapy. Seventeen subjects were enrolled; 1 subject was withdrawn shortly after starting the study. Sixteen subjects completed 3 ascending dose levels of mitapivat (5, 20, and 50 mg, twice daily [BID]) for 2 weeks each; following a protocol amendment, the dose was escalated to 100 mg BID in 9 subjects. Mitapivat was well tolerated at all dose levels, with the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) being insomnia, headache, and hypertension. Six serious AEs (SAEs) included 4 vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), non-VOC-related shoulder pain, and a preexisting pulmonary embolism. Two VOCs occurred during drug taper and were possibly drug related; no other SAEs were drug related. Mean hemoglobin increase at the 50 mg BID dose level was 1.2 g/dL, with 9 of 16 (56.3%) patients achieving a hemoglobin response of a ≥1 g/dL increase compared with baseline. Mean reductions in hemolytic markers and dose-dependent decreases in 2,3-DPG and increases in ATP were also observed. This study provides proof of concept that mitapivat has disease-modifying potential in patients with SCD. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04000165.

Metabolic blood profile and response to treatment with the pyruvate kinase activator mitapivat in patients with sickle cell disease.

Project description:Mitapivat is an investigational, oral, small-molecule allosteric activator of pyruvate kinase (PK). PK is a regulatory glycolytic enzyme that is key in providing the red blood cell (RBC) with sufficient amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In sickle cell disease (SCD), decreased 2,3-DPG levels increase the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin, thereby preventing deoxygenation and polymerization of sickle hemoglobin. The PK activator mitapivat has been shown to decrease levels of 2,3-DPG and increase levels of ATP in RBCs in patients with SCD. In this phase 2, investigator-initiated, open-label study (https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ NL8517; EudraCT 2019-003438-18), untargeted metabolomics was used to explore the overall metabolic effects of 8-week treatment with mitapivat in the dose-finding period. In total, 1773 unique metabolites were identified in dried blood spots of whole blood from ten patients with SCD and 42 healthy controls (HCs). The metabolic phenotype of patients with SCD revealed alterations in 139/1773 (7.8%) metabolites at baseline when compared to HCs (false discovery rate-adjusted p < 0.05), including increases of (derivatives of) polyamines, purines, and acyl carnitines. Eight-week treatment with mitapivat in nine patients with SCD altered 85/1773 (4.8%) of the total metabolites and 18/139 (12.9%) of the previously identified altered metabolites in SCD (unadjusted p < 0.05). Effects were observed on a broad spectrum of metabolites and were not limited to glycolytic intermediates. Our results show the relevance of metabolic profiling in SCD, not only to unravel potential pathophysiological pathways and biomarkers in multisystem diseases but also to determine the effect of treatment.

Mitapivat, a novel pyruvate kinase activator, for the treatment of hereditary hemolytic anemias.

Project description:Mitapivat (AG-348) is a novel, first-in-class oral small molecule allosteric activator of the pyruvate kinase enzyme. Mitapivat has been shown to significantly upregulate both wild-type and numerous mutant forms of erythrocyte pyruvate kinase (PKR), increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and reducing levels of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Given this mechanism, mitapivat has been evaluated in clinical trials in a wide range of hereditary hemolytic anemias, including pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD), sickle cell disease, and the thalassemias. The clinical development of mitapivat in adults with PKD is nearly complete, with the completion of two successful phase III clinical trials demonstrating its safety and efficacy. Given these findings, mitapivat has the potential to be the first approved therapeutic for PKD. Mitapivat has additionally been evaluated in a phase II trial of patients with alpha- and beta-thalassemia and a phase I trial of patients with sickle cell disease, with findings suggesting safety and efficacy in these more common hereditary anemias. Following these successful early-phase trials, two phase III trials of mitapivat in thalassemia and a phase II/III trial of mitapivat in sickle cell disease are beginning worldwide. Promising preclinical studies have additionally been done evaluating mitapivat in hereditary spherocytosis, suggesting potential efficacy in erythrocyte membranopathies as well. With convenient oral dosing and a safety profile comparable with placebo in adults with PKD, mitapivat is a promising new therapeutic for several hereditary hemolytic anemias, including those without any currently US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Medicines Agency (EMA)-approved drug therapies. This review discusses the preclinical studies, pharmacology, and clinical trials of mitapivat.

One-year safety and efficacy of mitapivat in sickle cell disease: follow-up results of a phase 2, open-label study.

Project description:Targeting the primary pathogenic event of sickle cell disease (SCD), the polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS), may prevent downstream clinical events. Mitapivat, an oral pyruvate kinase (PK) activator, has therapeutic potential by increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and decreasing 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), a glycolytic red blood cell (RBC) intermediate. In the previously reported 8-week dose-finding period of this phase 2, investigator-initiated, open-label study, mitapivat was well tolerated and showed efficacy in SCD. Here, the 1-year fixed-dose extension period is reported in which 9 of 10 included patients (90%) aged ≥16 years with SCD (HbSS, HbS/β0, or HbS/β+) continued with mitapivat. Mostly mild treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) (most commonly, transaminase increase and headache) were still reported. Apart from the reported nontreatment-related serious AE (SAE) of a urinary tract infection in the dose-finding period, 1 nontreatment-related SAE occurred in the fixed-dose extension period in a patient who died of massive pulmonary embolism due to COVID-19. Importantly, sustained improvement in Hb level (mean increase, 1.1 ± 0.7 g/dL; P = .0014) was seen, which was accompanied by decreases in markers of hemolysis. In addition, the annualized rate of vaso-occlusive events reduced significantly from a historic baseline of 1.33 ± 1.32 to 0.64 ± 0.87 (P = .0489) when combining the dose-finding period and fixed-dose extension period. Cellularly, the ATP:2,3-DPG ratio and Hb-oxygen affinity significantly increased and RBC sickling (point of sickling) nonsignificantly reduced. Overall, this study demonstrated 1-year safety and efficacy of treatment with mitapivat in SCD, supporting further evaluation in ongoing phase 2/3 study (RISE UP, NCT05031780). This trial was registered at https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ as NL8517 and EudraCT 2019-003438-18.

The pyruvate kinase activator mitapivat reduces hemolysis and improves anemia in a β-thalassemia mouse model.

Project description:Anemia in β-thalassemia is related to ineffective erythropoiesis and reduced red cell survival. Excess free heme and accumulation of unpaired α-globin chains impose substantial oxidative stress on β-thalassemic erythroblasts and erythrocytes, impacting cell metabolism. We hypothesized that increased pyruvate kinase activity induced by mitapivat (AG-348) in the Hbbth3/+ mouse model for β-thalassemia would reduce chronic hemolysis and ineffective erythropoiesis through stimulation of red cell glycolytic metabolism. Oral mitapivat administration ameliorated ineffective erythropoiesis and anemia in Hbbth3/+ mice. Increased ATP, reduced reactive oxygen species production, and reduced markers of mitochondrial dysfunction associated with improved mitochondrial clearance suggested enhanced metabolism following mitapivat administration in β-thalassemia. The amelioration of responsiveness to erythropoietin resulted in reduced soluble erythroferrone, increased liver Hamp expression, and diminished liver iron overload. Mitapivat reduced duodenal Dmt1 expression potentially by activating the pyruvate kinase M2-HIF2α axis, representing a mechanism additional to Hamp in controlling iron absorption and preventing β-thalassemia-related liver iron overload. In ex vivo studies on erythroid precursors from patients with β-thalassemia, mitapivat enhanced erythropoiesis, promoted erythroid maturation, and decreased apoptosis. Overall, pyruvate kinase activation as a treatment modality for β-thalassemia in preclinical model systems had multiple beneficial effects in the erythropoietic compartment and beyond, providing a strong scientific basis for further clinical trials.
