Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of the ADAMTS-5 Inhibitor GLPG1972/S201086 in Healthy Volunteers and Participants With Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip.

ABSTRACT: GLPG1972/S201086 is a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motif-5 (ADAMTS-5) inhibitor in development as an osteoarthritis disease-modifying therapy. We report the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics (turnover of plasma/serum ARGS-aggrecan neoepitope fragments [ARGS]) of GLPG1972 in 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 trials. Study A, a first-in-human trial of single (≤2100 mg [fasted] and 300 mg [fed]) and multiple (≤1050 mg once daily [fed]; 14 days) ascending oral (solution) doses, investigated GLPG1972 in healthy men (N = 41; NCT02612246). Study B investigated multiple ascending oral (tablet) doses of GLPG1972 (≤300 mg once daily [fed]; 4 weeks) in male and female participants with osteoarthritis (N = 30; NCT03311009). Study
