Investigation of pharmacokinetic drug interaction between clesacostat and DGAT2 inhibitor ervogastat in healthy adult participants.


ABSTRACT: Co-administration of clesacostat (acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitor, PF-05221304) and ervogastat (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase inhibitor, PF-06865571) in laboratory models improved non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) end points and mitigated clesacostat-induced elevations in circulating triglycerides. Clesacostat is cleared via organic anion-transporting polypeptide-mediated hepatic uptake and cytochrome P450 family 3A (CYP3A); in vitro clesacostat is identified as a potential CYP3A time-dependent inactivator. In vitro ervogastat is identified as a substrate and potential inducer of CYP3A. Prior to longer-term efficacy trials in participants with NAFLD, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) were evaluated in a phase I, non-randomized, open-label, fixed-sequence trial in healthy participants. In Cohort 1, participants (n = 7) received clesacostat 15 mg twice daily (b.i.d.) alone (Days 1-7) and co-administered with ervogastat 300 mg b.i.d. (Days 8-14). Mean systemic clesacostat exposures, when co-administered with ervogastat, decreased by 12% and 19%, based on maximum plasma drug concentration and area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve during the dosing interval, respectively. In Cohort 2, participants (n = 9) received ervogastat 300 mg b.i.d. alone (Days 1-7) and co-administered with clesacostat 15 mg b.i.d. (Days 8-14). There were no meaningful differences in systemic ervogastat exposures when administered alone or with clesacostat. Clesacostat 15 mg b.i.d. and ervogastat 300 mg b.i.d. co-administration was overall safe and well tolerated in healthy participants. Cumulative safety and no clinically meaningful PK drug interactions observed in this study supported co-administration of these two novel agents in additional studies exploring efficacy and safety in the management of NAFLD.
