Study summary

An endotoxin challenge will be administered to healthy subjects to induce production of inflammatory markers. An investigational drug or placebo will be administered prior to the endotoxin challenge to assess the effect of the investigational drug on the markers of inflammation. Safety and tolerability will also be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The trial was terminated on 25 March 2015 due to safety concerns regarding the administration of endotoxin and because of the uncertain availability of future endotoxin lots.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Peak Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Activity Following Inflammatory Stimulus

    MPO is a heme-containing peroxidase enzyme produced in the bone marrow and stored in the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, where it constitutes up to 5% of the cellular protein. Since PF-06282999 is a mechanism-based inactivator of MPO, it is of interest to evaluate the level of MPO activity in order to investigate the inhibition activity of PF-06282999.

    Time frame: Days 1, 3-5

  2. MPO Activity (Area Under the Concentration-time Profile From 0.5 to 2 Hours [AUC0.5-2hrs]) Following Inflammatory Stimulus

    MPO is a heme-containing peroxidase enzyme produced in the bone marrow and stored in the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, where it constitutes up to 5% of the cellular protein. Since PF-06282999 is a mechanism-based inactivator of MPO, it is of interest to evaluate the level of MPO activity in order to investigate the inhibition activity of PF-06282999.

    Time frame: Days 1, 3-5

  3. MPO Activity (Area Under the Concentration-time Profile From 0 to 2 Hours [AUC0-2hrs]) Following Inflammatory Stimulus

    MPO is a heme-containing peroxidase enzyme produced in the bone marrow and stored in the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, where it constitutes up to 5% of the cellular protein. Since PF-06282999 is a mechanism-based inactivator of MPO, it is of interest to evaluate the level of MPO activity in order to investigate the inhibition activity of PF-06282999.

    Time frame: Days 1, 3-5

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Withdrawals Due to TEAEs

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. AEs comprised both SAEs and non-SAEs. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. TEAEs were defined as newly occurring AEs or those worsening after first dose. Due to early termination of the study, only AE data from partial enrollment are reflected and comparisons between treatment arms should not be attempted.

    Time frame: From Day 0 till approximately 7-10 days following the last dose of PF-06282999/Placebo in Period 2 (up to approximately 2 months)

  5. Number of Participants With Laboratory Test Abnormalities

    Number of participants with laboratory test abnormalities without regard to baseline abnormality. Laboratory test parameters included hematology, coagulation, liver function, renal function, electrolytes, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis (dipstick and microscopy). Due to early termination of the study, only laboratory data from partial enrollment are reflected and comparisons between treatment arms should not be attempted.

    Time frame: Baseline up to 7-10 days following the last dose of PF-06282999/Placebo in Period 2

  6. Number of Participants With Change From Baseline and Absolute Values in Vital Signs Meeting Categorical Summarization Criteria

    Categorical summarization criteria in vital signs included: sitting, supine, and standing systolic blood pressure (SBP) of less than (\<)90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or change (increase \[inc\] or decrease \[dec\]) in sitting, supine and standing SBP of more than or equal to (\>=)30 mm Hg; supine, sitting, and standing diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of \<50 mm Hg or change (inc or dec) in sitting, supine, and standing DBP of \>=20 mm Hg; supine and sitting pulse rate (PR) of \<40 or more than (\>)120 beats per minute (bpm); and standing PR of \<40 or \>140 bpm. Due to early termination of the study, only vital signs data from partial enrollment are reflected and comparisons between treatment arms should not be attempted.

    Time frame: Screening and Days 1-2, 4-5, and approximately 7-10 days following the last dose of PF-06282999/Placebo in Period 2 for orthostatic (orth) measurements; Day 3 for supine measurements

  7. Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Values Meeting Categorical Summarization Criteria

    Criteria for ECG (12-lead) values meeting categorical summarization criteria were: the interval between the start of the P wave and the start of the QRS complex, corresponding to the time between the onset of the atrial depolarization and onset of ventricular depolarization (PR interval \>=300 milliseconds (msec) and increase from baseline \>=25/50%; time from the beginning of the ECG Q wave to the end of the S wave corresponding to ventricular depolarization (QRS) interval \>=140 msec and increase of \>=50%; the beginning of the Q wave to the end of the T wave corresponding to electrical systole (QT) interval \>=500 msec; QT corrected using the Fridericia formula (QTcF) of 450 to \<480 msec, 480 to \<500 msec, and \>=500 msec, or an increase of 30 to \<60 msec or \>=60 msec. Due to early termination of the study, only ECG data from partial enrollment are reflected and comparisons between treatment arms should not be attempted.

    Time frame: Screening; Days 1-5 and approximately 7-10 days following the last dose of PF-06282999/Placebo in Period 2

  8. Number of Participants With Abnormal Urinary Biomarker Values

    Urinary biomarkers included albumin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and Cystatin-C.

    Time frame: Days 1-3 prior to dosing with PF-06282999/Placebo; and Days 4-5

Secondary outcomes

  1. Concentrations of TNF-alpha, IL-1 Beta, IL-6, IL-8, and hsCRP

    The effect of multiple oral doses of PF-06282999 on inflammatory biomarkers was a secondary objective in this study. The biomarkers are tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).

    Time frame: Days 1, 3, and 4

  2. Peak (AUC0.5-2hours and AUC0-2hours) of MPO Activity/MPO Mass

    MPO is a heme-containing peroxidase enzyme produced in the bone marrow and stored in the azurophilic granules of neutrophils, where it constitutes up to 5% of the cellular protein. Since PF-06282999 is a mechanism-based inactivator of MPO, it is of interest to evaluate the level of MPO activity in order to investigate the inhibition activity of PF-06282999.

    Time frame: Days 1, 3-5

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of PF-06282999

    Time frame: Day 3

Limitations and caveats
Due to early study termination, PK, PD, or biomarker changes assessments were incomplete and there was only safety data from partial enrollment. As such, it was not possible to have meaningful interpretation and/or comparison of these data.
