Phase I studies of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of DS-1211, a tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) hydrolyzes and inactivates inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a potent inhibitor of calcification; therefore, TNAP inhibition is a potential target to treat ectopic calcification. These two first-in-human studies evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and pharmacodynamics (PDs) of single (SAD) and multiple-ascending doses (MAD) of DS-1211, a TNAP inhibitor. Healthy adults were randomized 6:2 to DS-1211 or placebo, eight subjects per dose cohort. SAD study subjects received one dose of DS-1211 (range, 3-3000 mg) or placebo, whereas MAD study subjects received DS-1211 (range, 10-300 mg) once daily, 150 mg twice daily (b.i.d.), or placebo for 10 days. Primary end points were safety and tolerability. PK and PD assessments included pla
