First-in-Human Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MHV370, a Dual Inhibitor of Toll-Like Receptors 7 and 8, in Healthy Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

MHV370, a dual antagonist of human Toll-like receptors (TLR) 7 and 8, suppresses cytokines and interferon-stimulated genes in vitro and in vivo, and  has demonstrated efficacy in murine models of lupus. This first-in-human study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single and multiple doses of MHV370 in healthy adults, as well as the effects of food consumption on a single dose of MHV370.

Methods

This was a phase 1, randomised, placebo-controlled study conducted in three parts. In part A, participants received (3:1) a single ascending dose (SAD) of 1, 3, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640 and 1000 mg MHV370 or placebo. In part B, participants received (3:1) multiple ascending doses (MAD) of 25, 50, 100, 200
