Description

[Technical field]

[0001] FIELD OF THEINVENTION The present invention relates to new and improved methods for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and / or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IFNα and / or interferon ("interferonopathies", in particular type I interferonopathies), IL-12 and / or IL-23, and unit dosage pharmaceutical compositions comprising Compound 1 for use therein. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND OF THEINVENTION Janus kinases (JAKs) are cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases that mediate cytokine signaling from membrane receptors to STAT transcription factors. Four members of the JAK family have been described: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2. Upon cytokine binding to its receptor, JAK family members autophosphorylate and / or transphosphorylate each other, followed by phosphorylation of STATs, which then translocate to the nucleus and regulate transcription. JAK-STAT intracellular signaling responds to interferons, most interleukins, and various cytokines and endocrine factors, such as EPO, TPO, GH, OSM, LIF, CNTF, GM-CSF, and PRL (Vainchenker et al., 2008).

[0003] A combination of genetic modeling and small molecule JAK inhibitor studies has revealed the therapeutic potential of JAK inhibitors (JAKinibs) (Babon et al., 2014). In the last decade, JAKinibs with varying degrees of selectivity profiles for members of the JAK family have been developed. Notably, although targeting multiple JAKs may not be harmful (Broekman et al., 2011), developing selective JAKinibs would be highly desirable to develop treatment courses tailored to the needs of patients, despite the challenges it imposes (Fabian et al., 2005). For example, JAK2 inhibition has proven useful in the treatment of erythrocytosis and myelofibrosis, but undesirable effects associated with JAK2 inhibition have been observed (O'Shea and Plenge, 2012), thus making compounds with a JAK2 inhibitory component unsuitable for the treatment of non-JAK2-mediated diseases.

[0004] Using TYK2 knockout mice, IL-6, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-13, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-23, IL-27, IL-28, IL-29, IL-31, IL-35 and / or type 1 interferon signaling have been shown to be dependent on TYK2 (Schwartz et al., 2016). However, it has recently been shown that JAK1 is a key driver in IFNα, IL6, IL10 and IL22 signaling, while TYK2 is involved in type I interferon (including IFNα, INFβ), IL23 and IL12 signaling (Gillooly et al., 2016; Sohn et al., 2013). Because IL12 and IL23 activity is particularly increased in patients with autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis and / or inflammatory bowel disorder (O'Shea and Plenge, 2012), selective TYK2 inhibition may be particularly advantageous in treating these diseases while avoiding JAK2-dependent erythropoietin (EPO) and thrombopoietin (TPO) signaling (Neubauer et al., 1998; Parganas et al., 1998).

[0005] Furthermore, TYK2 has been reported as a target in multiple autoimmune disorders, providing protection against inflammatory diseases and type 2 diabetes with modest effects on the immune system (Dendrou et al., 2016).

[0006] Compound 1 is a small molecule inhibitor of the JAK family of tyrosine kinases, more particularly TYK2, and is currently being investigated as a drug for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and / or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IFNα and / or interferon ("interferonopathies", particularly type I interferonopathies), IL-12 and / or IL-23. The identification and synthesis of compound 1 has been previously described in WO2019 / 076716.

[0007] There continues to be an unmet medical need for the development of new and improved therapies in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and / or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IFNα and / or interferons ("interferonopathies", particularly type I interferonopathies), IL-12 and / or IL-23, particularly diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, Sjogren's syndrome, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, trisomy 21, ulcerative colitis, and / or Crohn's disease.

[0008] Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are essential for the metabolism of many pharmaceuticals and endogenous compounds (Danielson, 2002). The cytochrome P450 3A family is the most abundant subfamily of CYP isoforms in the liver. At least three isoforms exist in adults: 3A4, 3A5, and 3A7, of which 3A4 is thought to be the most important of all CYP enzymes in the liver (Ince et al., 2013).

[0009] CYP enzymes can be inhibited or induced by drugs, which can result in clinically important drug-drug interactions that can cause unexpected adverse reactions or therapeutic failure (Lynch and Price, 2007). Therefore, it is crucial to understand which drug combinations should be contraindicated or their coadministration should be avoided.

[0010] A variety of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors are known (https: / / www.fda.gov / drugs / drug-interactions-labeling / drug-development-and-drug-interactions-table-substrates-inhibitors-and-inducers), and itraconazole has emerged as a probe to evaluate in clinical drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies given its strong CYP3A inhibition (Liu et al., 2016).

[0011] A study by (Hu et al., 2020) showed that 64% of FDA-approved small molecule drugs (2005-2016) are metabolized by CYP3A4, and therefore, it is important to mitigate CYP3A4-mediated sacrificial drug-drug interaction risks if justified by the drug's favorable clinical profile.

[0012] Drug exposure can be affected by co-administration of CYP3A4 inhibitors (Teo, Ho, & Chan, 2015), which can lead to under- or overdosing of the drug; therefore, ensuring stable dosing and exposure to avoid unwanted side effects or toxicity is crucial.

[0013] P-glycoprotein (P-gp), also called "multidrug resistance protein (MDR1)" and its gene name "ABCB1", is a member of a class of transport molecules called "ATP-binding cassette" transporters or "ABC" transporters, located in the cell membranes of various tissues of the human body, such as the intestine, kidney, and liver, and in the blood-brain barrier. P-glycoprotein plays a key role in transporting (excreting) active pharmaceutical ingredients out of the cell and affects their excretion from the body. Together with CYP enzymes, P-glycoprotein is an important mediator of drug-drug interactions. The pharmacokinetics of drugs can be altered when co-administered with compounds that inhibit or induce P-glycoprotein (Konig, Muller, and Fromm, 2013). It is therefore crucial to understand which combinations of drugs should be contraindicated or their co-administration should be avoided.

[0014] The FDA recognizes and lists a variety of drugs that may be P-gp inhibitors (https: / / www.fda.gov / drugs / drug-interactions-labeling / drug-development-and-drug-interactions-table-substrates-inhibitors-and-inducers).

[0015] Co-administration of substances acting as P-gp inhibitors that can also act as CYP inhibitors may result in reduced therapeutic efficacy due to dual actions. On one hand, P-gp inhibition mediates enhanced intracellular accumulation of the parent drug; on the other hand, CYP inhibition mediates excessive drug accumulation of the parent drug and increases its toxicity, resulting in the need to reduce the dose of the therapeutic agent. Therefore, it is crucial to understand which combinations of drugs should be contraindicated or their co-administration should be avoided (Wandel et al., 1999). Summary of the Invention

[0061] The term "potent P-gp inhibitor" refers to one or more compounds that increase the AUC of oral P-gp substrates, such as midazolam and prazosin, by ≧5-fold. Examples of potent P-gp inhibitors include amiodarone, azithromycin, clarithromycin, erythromycin, roxithromycin, telithromycin, cyclosporine, itraconazole, ketoconazole, tamoxifen, and verapamil (https: / / www.fda.gov / drugs / drug-interactions-labeling / drug-development-and-drug-interactions-table-substrates-inhibitors-and-inducers).

[0062] A combined CYP3A4 / P-gp inhibitor is a substance that, when administered to a subject, reduces CYP3A4 and P-gp mediated activity. In a specific embodiment, the CYP3A4 / P-gp inhibitor is itraconazole.

[0063] The present disclosure includes all isotopic forms of the compounds of the present invention provided herein, whether (i) all atoms of a given atomic number have a mass number (or mixture of mass numbers) that is predominant in nature (referred to herein as "natural isotopic forms"), or (ii) one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but a mass number different from the mass number of the atom that is predominant in nature (referred to herein as "non-natural variant isotopic forms"). It is understood that atoms may naturally exist as a mixture of mass numbers. The term "non-natural variant isotopic forms" also includes embodiments in which the proportion of atoms of a given atomic number that have mass numbers that are less common in nature (referred to herein as "rare isotopes") is increased compared to that occurring in nature, for example, to a level of >20%, >50%, >75%, >90%, >95%, or >99% of the number of atoms of that atomic number (the latter embodiment is referred to as "isotopically enriched variant forms"). The term "non-natural variant isotopic form" also includes embodiments in which the ratio of a rare isotope is reduced compared to that occurring in nature. Isotopic forms can include radioactive forms (i.e., which incorporate a radioactive isotope) and non-radioactive forms. The radioactive form will usually be an isotopically enriched variant form.

[0064] Thus, non-natural variant isotopic forms of a compound may contain deuterium ( 2 H or D), carbon-11 ( 11 C), carbon-13( 13 C), carbon-14( 14 C), nitrogen-13( 13 N), nitrogen-15( 15 N), oxygen-15( 15 O), oxygen-17( 17 O), oxygen-18( 18 O), phosphorus-32( 32 P), sulfur-35( 35 S), Chlorine-36( 36 Cl), Chlorine-37( 37 Cl), Fluorine-18( 18 F), iodine-123( 123I), iodine-125( 125 It may contain one or more artificial or rare isotopes, such as I), or an increased proportion of said isotopes at one or more atoms compared to the proportion predominant in nature.

[0065] Non-natural variant isotopic forms containing radioactive isotopes may be used, for example, in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotope tritium, i.e. 3 H, and carbon-14, i.e. 14 C are particularly useful for this purpose given their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Deuterium, i.e. 2 Non-natural variant isotopic forms incorporating H or D may offer certain therapeutic advantages due to greater metabolic stability, such as increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and therefore may be preferred in some circumstances. 11 C. 18 F, 15 0, and 13 Non-natural variant isotopic forms may be prepared incorporating positron emitting isotopes such as N and may be useful for positron emission tissue distribution (PET) studies to examine substrate receptor occupancy.

[0066] It should also be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers." Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers."

[0067] "Tautomers" refer to compounds that are interchangeable forms of a particular compound structure and differ in the displacement of hydrogen atoms and electrons. Thus, two structures can be in equilibrium through the movement of pi electrons and atoms (usually H). For example, enols and ketones are tautomers because they are rapidly interconverted by treatment with either acid or base. Another example of tautomerism is the aci and nitro forms of phenylnitromethane, which are also formed by treatment with acid or base. Tautomeric forms can be relevant to obtaining optimal chemical reactivity and biological activity of a compound of interest.

[0068] Any range previously or hereafter set forth in this specification includes all values ​​and sub-values ​​between, and including, the lower and upper limits of the range.

[0113] Infusion dose levels range from about 0.01 mg / kg / hour to at least 10 mg / kg / hour, all over a period of about 1 to about 120 hours, particularly 24 to 96 hours. A preloading bolus may also be administered to achieve adequate steady state levels. For a 40-80 kg human patient, the maximum total dose is not expected to exceed about 1 g / day.

[0114] For prevention and / or treatment of long-term conditions such as degenerative conditions, the treatment regimen is usually for months or years, and therefore oral dosing is preferred for patient convenience and tolerability. For oral dosing, a fixed dose 1-4 times per day, particularly a fixed dose 1-3 times per day, typically a fixed dose 1-2 times per day, and most typically a fixed dose once per day are typical regimens. Alternatively, for long-acting drugs, oral dosing once every two weeks, once a week, and once a day are typical regimens. In particular, the dosing regimen can be every 1-14 days, more particularly every 1-10 days, even more particularly every 1-7 days, and most particularly every 1-3 days.

[0115] With these dosing patterns, each dose provides a daily amount of the compound of the present invention of about 1 mg to about 1000 mg, with each particular dose providing a daily amount of about 10 mg to about 600 mg. In certain embodiments, the compound of the present invention is administered in a daily amount of about 60 mg to 200 mg.

The choice of a suitable protecting group for a particular functional group, as well as suitable conditions for protection and deprotection, are well known in the art (Greene, TW; Wuts, PGM; 1991).

[0137] The following methods are presented with details and comparative examples for the preparation of the compounds of the invention as defined herein above. The compounds of the invention may be prepared from known or commercially available starting materials or reagents by one skilled in the art of organic synthesis.

[0138] Unless otherwise noted, all reagents were of commercial grade and were used as received without further purification. Commercially available anhydrous solvents were used for reactions carried out under an inert atmosphere. Reagent grade solvents were used in all other cases unless otherwise noted. Column chromatography is performed on silica gel 60 (35-70 μm). Thin layer chromatography is carried out using precoated silica gel F-254 plates (0.25 mm thickness). 1 H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Advance 300 NMR spectrometer (300 MHz). 1Chemical shifts (δ) for H NMR spectra are reported in parts per million (ppm) relative to tetramethylsilane (δ 0.00) as an internal reference or to the appropriate residual solvent peak, i.e., CHCl3 (δ 7.27). Multiplicities are given as singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q), quintet (quin), multiplet (m), and broad (br). Electrospray MS spectra were obtained on a Waters platform LC / MS spectrometer or using a Waters Acquity H-Class UPLC coupled to a Waters Mass Detector 3100 spectrometer. The columns used were: Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 1.7 μm, 2.1 mm ID x 50 mm L, Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C18 1.7 μm, 2.1 mm ID x 30 mm L, or Waters Xterra MS 5 μm C18, 100 x 4.6 mm. The method uses either a MeCN / H2O gradient (H2O containing either 0.1% TFA or 0.1% NH3) or a MeOH / H2O gradient (H2O containing 0.05% TFA). Microwave heating is performed using a Biotage Initiator.

[0139] The racemic mixture was separated on an Agilent HP1100 system with UV detection. The column used was: Chiralpak 1A (10×250 mm, 5 μm). The solvents used were: iPrOH and tBME. The enantiomeric purity was determined on an Agilent HP1100 system with UV detection. The column used was: Chiralpak IA (4.6×250 mm, 5 μm). The solvents used were: iPrOH and tBME. Table I.

[0154] Biological Examples Methods for the preparation of compounds of the invention and specific biological examples are described in WO2019 / 076716 (the compound of the invention is referred to as "Compound 38" in WO2019 / 076716).

[0155] Together with this, additional biological examples and data investigating compound 1 as a cytochrome P450 (CYP) and P-gp substrate are provided.

[0156] Example 1. In vitro stability study of Compound 1 in human liver microsomes. (1.1. Purpose of the Test) The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the stability of compound 1 in human liver microsomes (HLM) and in human recombinant cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes. After identifying CYP3A4 as the sole CYP metabolizing enzyme, the kinetic parameters Km (concentration of substrate at which half-maximal reaction rate is reached) and Vmax (maximum reaction rate) were determined using the recombinant enzymes.

[0157] 1.2. Materials and Methods Compound 1 was incubated with 0.5 and 2 mg / mL HLM (with NADPH) at three concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1 μM) at 37° C. for up to 45 min to determine whether sufficient metabolism was observed to justify further investigation in the presence of specific chemical inhibitors.

[0158] Additionally, to identify potential enzymes involved in the metabolism of compound 1 and to determine conditions for further enzyme kinetic investigations, compound 1 (0.1 μM) was incubated with human recombinant CYP enzymes (1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4) and NADPH at 37° C. for up to 45 min.

[0159] Compound 1 was subsequently incubated with human CYP3A4 recombinant enzyme at 11 substrate concentrations (0.08-200 μM) with NADPH in triplicate at 37° C. to determine the rate constant of reduction at each concentration and thus calculate Km and Vmax values.

[0160] The stability of Compound 1 was assessed by quantification of the concentration of Compound 1 in the samples using LC-MS / MS analytical methods.

[0161] (1.3. Test Results) Compound 1 showed poor metabolism in HLM with an intrinsic clearance of maximal 8.72 μL / min / mg protein.

[0162] No measurable metabolism of Compound 1 was observed following incubation with recombinant CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6. Metabolism of Compound 1 was observed following incubation with CYP3A4.

[0163] Using a substrate depletion approach, in the presence of recombinant CYP3A4 enzyme, the Km of compound 1 was 4.19±0.414 μM, with a calculated Vmax of 1.78 pmol / min / pmol P450 (577 pmol / min / mg microsomal protein).

[0164] In conclusion, compound 1 is an in vitro substrate for human CYP3A4 isoforms.

[0165] Example 2. In vitro stability study of Compound 1 as a P-gp substrate (2.1. Purpose of the Test) The aim of these in vitro studies was to report whether compound 1 was a potential substrate of the human ABC (efflux) transporter MDR1 (P-gp) and then to determine the kinetic parameters Km and Vmax of compound 1 with the human MDR1 transporter.

[0166] 2.2. Materials and Methods Compound 1 was incubated with Madin-Darby canine kidney multidrug resistance 1 (MDCKII-MDR1) transfected cells in a bidirectional permeability assay (monolayer substrate assay) at three concentrations (0.625, 2.00, and 6.25 μM; triplicate) for 0, 60, and 120 min to determine whether active transport (apical to basolateral [AB] and basolateral to apical [BA] directions) was present. Since active transport was confirmed, compound 1 (2 μM; triplicate) was incubated with MDCKII-MDR1 cells for 120 min in the presence of a potent MDR1 inhibitor (10 μM valspodar) to confirm the specificity of the MDR1 transporter.

[0167] To determine Km and Vmax values, compound 1 was subsequently incubated with MDCKII-MDR1 cells in triplicate at eight concentrations (0.50-6.0 μM) for 15, 30, 60, and 120 min to test the unidirectional permeability BA.

[0168] Bidirectional transport of Compound 1 was determined by quantification of Compound 1 in samples using LC-MS / MS analytical methods.

[0169] (2.3. Test Results) Compound 1 showed higher permeability in the BA direction than in the AB direction, indicating that there was active transport of this compound in MDCKII-MDR1 cells. Considering the highest recovery value of compound 1 at 6.25 μM (>60%), the observed net efflux ratio (net ER) was 34.6 after 60 min of incubation. In chase assays, the net ER decreased from 37.1 to 0.5 in the presence of Valspodar, confirming the contribution of MDR1 to the transport of compound 1 to the opposite side of the MDCKII-MDR1 monolayer.

[0170] For the unidirectionally permeable BA, the net ER was consistent with previous results: the kinetic parameters Km was 15.06 μM and Vmax was 8.79 pmol / min.

[0171] In conclusion, compound 1 is an in vitro substrate for the human MDR1 ABC efflux transporter.

[0194] In part 2, dose proportionality of Compound 1 was tested using the power model method. A mixed-effects model was performed to evaluate the log-transformed PK parameters (C max and AUC 0-τ (including t max Dose effects on β-amyloides were assessed using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Time to reach steady state was assessed by visual inspection of Compound 1 trough plasma concentrations.

[0195] 1.9. Pharmacokinetic Measurements Blood samples for determination of Compound 1 in plasma were taken at the clinic visit. In part 1, blood samples for determination of coproporphyrin I and III in plasma were taken at the clinic visit. In part 2, blood samples for determination of 4-β-OH-cholesterol and cholesterol in plasma were taken before Compound 1 / placebo administration at the clinic visit. All blood samples were taken by venipuncture (or indwelling cannula), preferably in the forearm.

[0196] Samples for determination of Compound 1 in urine were collected at visits in Parts 1 and 2. Urine samples from Part 1 were also used for determination of thiamine. Urine samples were collected by time intervals (related to dosing) (if required, subjects could be asked to void / empty their bladders to obtain a more accurate relationship between urine production and collection).

[0197] Urinary determination of Compound 1 was performed on samples from the MAD cohort subjects who received the highest dose. Based on the percentage of the dose excreted unchanged in the urine of this cohort, it was decided not to quantify Compound 1 in urine samples from other cohorts in the MAD part and the SAD part.

[0198] 1.10. Pharmacokinetic Results In the SAD part, subjects received a single dose of Compound 1 under fasted (10, 30, 90, or 200 mg) or fed (90 or 200 mg) conditions. The arithmetic means (% coefficient of variation [CV]) of the main PK parameters of Compound 1 for Part 1 (SAD) are summarized in Table I below. Single doses of Compound 1 showed a dose-proportional increase in exposure under fasted conditions, with no food effect up to 90 mg. Higher exposures were achieved under fed conditions, with exposures increasing linearly up to 200 mg. [Table 3] (Table I)

[0199] Following single oral doses of 10 mg to 200 mg in the fasted or postprandial state (after a standard breakfast), Compound 1 was quantifiable in the plasma of all subjects from the first sampling time point, i.e., 0.5 hours post-dose. Subsequently, mean plasma concentrations rapidly increased, reaching a maximum at time points ranging from 1 to 4 hours post-dose across all doses. All dose levels showed a biphasic decline in mean plasma concentrations with a rapid initial distribution / elimination phase followed by a slightly slower terminal elimination phase.

[0200] In the lowest dose group (10 mg Compound 1), Compound 1 plasma levels remained quantifiable until the last sampling time (i.e., 72 hours) for three of six subjects. In all other treatment groups, Compound 1 plasma levels remained quantifiable until the last sampling time (i.e., 72 hours) except for one subject in the 30-mg and 90-mg (fed and fasted) Compound 1 groups (Figures 1 and 2).

[0201] Following a single oral dose in healthy adult male subjects in the fasted state, Compound 1 was rapidly absorbed, with a median t max The median t max ranged from 2 to 3 hours (Table II).

[0202] Average t of compound 1 1 / 2was similar across all dose levels, ranging from 9.53 to 12.3 hours (Table II). [Table 4] (Table II)

[0203] In the MAD part, PK was evaluated in subjects who received repeated doses of Compound 1 (30, 90, or 150 mg) once a day for 13 days under fed conditions. The arithmetic mean (CV%) of the main PK parameters of Compound 1 for Part 2 (MAD) is summarized in the following table. There was no significant deviation from dose proportionality at steady state. [Table 5] (Table III)

[0204] Following repeated oral dosing of 30, 90, or 150 mg once daily under postprandial conditions (after a standard breakfast), Compound 1 plasma concentrations were quantifiable from the first sampling time point on Day 1 (0.5 hours post-dose) and remained quantifiable until the final sampling time point (i.e., Day 16, 72 hours after the last dose) for all subjects.

[0205] After a single dose on day 1 or multiple doses on day 10, mean plasma concentrations reached a maximum at time points ranging from 3 to 4 hours (Figures 3 and 4).

[0206] Consistent with the results after a single dose, all dose levels demonstrated a biphasic decline in mean plasma Compound 1 concentrations with a rapid initial distribution / elimination phase followed by a slower terminal elimination phase (Figures 3 and 4).

[0207] Compound 1 reduced median t max was rapidly absorbed, ranging from 2 to 3.5 hours, and remained similar throughout dosing (Table IV).

[0208] Mean t on the last day of medication (day 13) 1 / 2was similar for all three dose levels, ranging from 13.2 to 14.5 hours, and did not deviate significantly from the results after a single dose (Table IV).

[0209] Day 10 steady-state levels (R ac ) was observed for the dose levels of 30, 90, and 150 mg once daily, respectively. This observation was consistent with the estimated t 1 / 2 This is consistent with the results obtained for the 14-month study, suggesting that there were no significant time-dependent effects (Table IV). [Table 6] (Table IV)

[0210] Compound 1 exposure (C max and AUC 0-∞ ) were similar following a single oral dose of Compound 1 as a capsule or suspension under fed conditions (Table V). [Table 7] (Table V)

[0211] C max (85.92; 115.19) and AUC 0-∞ The 90% CIs of the least squares geometric mean ratios for (83.65; 110.06) were all within the 80% to 125% bioequivalence range, which was statistically confirmed (Table VI). [Table 8] (Table VI)

[0212] Similar to the suspension, when the capsule formulation of Compound 1 was administered under fed conditions, the AUC 0-∞ and C max Higher exposures were observed.

[0213] Median t maxwere similar following administration of Compound 1 as a suspension (4 hours) and capsule (3.5 hours) in the fed state, whereas they were slightly lower following administration of Compound 1 as a capsule (2.5 hours) in the fasted state.

[0214] average t 1 / 2 ranged from 13.6 to 14.9 hours and remained similar in all treatment groups.

[0215] (1.11. Pharmacodynamic measurements) Blood samples for biomarker assessment were collected at clinic visits by venipuncture (or indwelling cannula), preferably in the forearm, in parts 1 and 2. PD samples were to be collected after PK samples.

[0216] To allow for PK / PD evaluation, PD samples were taken at several time points concurrent with the PK sampling.

[0217] The selectivity and potency of Compound 1 was evaluated ex vivo by measuring the level of phosphorylation of STAT (a direct target of JAK) upon cytokine stimulation of whole blood cells. IL-6-induced pSTAT1 (JAK1 inhibition assay) GM-CSF-induced pSTAT5 (JAK2 inhibition assay) IFN-α-induced pSTAT1 (JAK1 / TYK2 inhibition assay) IL-12-induced pSTAT4 (JAK2 / TYK2 inhibition assay) was performed using flow cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorting [FACS]).

[0218] The same assay was performed on days 1, 10, and 16 during the MAD part to confirm the data collected during the SAD part. The day 10 assay provided the potency and selectivity levels of the IP at steady state.

[0219] Individual ICs 50Values ​​were determined in vitro in hWBA by measuring inhibition of IL-6-induced pSTAT1, GM-CSF-induced pSTAT5, IFN-α-induced pSTAT1, and IL-12-induced pSTAT4 on day -1 in the SAD part (study period 1 only) and the MAD part.

[0220] In vivo IFN-α loading (day 11 of the MAD part) was assessed by measuring IFN-α-inducible biomarkers (neopterin, β2-microglobulin, body temperature, and heart rate). In addition, gene expression analysis was performed on PAXgene tube samples to evaluate the effect of Compound 1 on the IFN-α gene signature. If the gene expression analysis data for a panel of selected relevant genes showed the effect of Compound 1 on the relevant IFN-α gene signature, whole genome transcriptome analysis with RNA sequencing study was performed on the same samples.

[0221] 1.12. FACS Analysis for pSTAT Analysis (Blood collection) A 3 mL blood sample was drawn into a Lithium Heparin vacutube (BD Vacutainer Heparin tube, reference 366667). · Samples were mixed thoroughly by inverting the tubes 3-4 times. The samples were then placed on a rocking device for 30 minutes at room temperature to equilibrate.

[0222] (Blood Triggering) · 10 μL of IL-6 was dispensed in duplicate into 2 mL round-bottom Eppendorf-like tubes (polypropylene). 190 μL of blood was added into each reaction tube and the tube was locked. Incubated for 20 min (60 min for IL-12) at +37°C under gentle agitation on an orbital shaker.

[0223] Sample preparation for flow cytometry analysis After the incubation period, 200 μL of incubated blood was transferred per sample into one 5 mL round-bottom tube with cap (flow cytometry compatible, polystyrene) by pipetting 200 μL with a P200 Gilson pipette. Add 4mL of pre-warmed 1x Lyse / Fix Buffer per tube The tubes were incubated in a water bath at +37°C for 10 minutes. Cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 500 x g for 8 minutes at room temperature. Discard the supernatant by inverting the tube (approximately 100 μL will remain) The remaining volume was quickly vortexed to resuspend the pellet. Resuspend the pellet in 4 mL of PBS and transfer 2 mL to one round-bottom tube with a lid labeled A and the remaining tube labeled B (see tube labels). The tubes were centrifuged again at 500 x g for 8 minutes at room temperature. The tube was turned upside down and the supernatant was completely discarded by blotting onto a clean paper towel. Add 1 mL of ice-cold Perm Buffer III dropwise to each tube under gentle vortex mixing. The tube was completely locked (cap in second position) and immediately (within 5 minutes) frozen at approximately -20°C until shipment.

[0224] Flow cytometry analysis On the day of analysis, cells in methanol were pelleted by centrifugation at 500xg for 8 minutes at room temperature and the supernatant was removed by inverting the tubes. 2mL of PBS+3% BSA buffer was added to each sample tube and vortexed briefly. Cells were pelleted by centrifugation at 500xg for 8 minutes at room temperature and the supernatant was removed by inverting the tubes (approximately 100μL remained). Cells were transferred to a 96-well plate (BD Falcon, Catalogue No 357711) and appropriate volumes were added to each well for different pSTAT and CD staining for different cell types: Panel 1 (IFNα or IL-6 trigger group): 20 μL CD4 APC, 5 μL pSTAT1 PE Panel 2 (GM-CSF trigger group): 5 μL CD33 APC, 20 μL pSTAT5 PE Panel 3 (IL-12 trigger group): 20 μL CD335 PE, 20 μL pSTAT4 AF647 Panel 4 (IL-2 trigger group): 5 μL CD4 V450, 20 μL pSTAT5 PE After staining, samples were vortexed briefly and incubated at room temperature in the dark for at least 1 hour. At the end of the incubation, samples were washed with PBS by adding 150 μL of PBS to each well, pelleted by centrifugation at 500×g for 8 minutes at room temperature, and the supernatant removed by shaking off the plate. The washing step was repeated by adding 230 μL of PBS to each well, centrifuging the plate at 500×g for 8 minutes at room temperature, and removing the supernatant by shaking off the plate. After the final washing step, 240 μL of PBS was added to each well and resuspended by pipetting. Half of the suspension from each well, 120 μL, was transferred to a new plate as a technical duplicate. 120 μL of PBS was added to each well of each plate, and the samples were resuspended by pipetting. Before starting the analysis run, the voltages were checked using untriggered and triggered controls from different patients to ensure proper staining and to adjust the PMT voltages of each detector if necessary. One plate was used immediately for analysis on the Attune NxT cytometer. The other plate was stored at 4°C until the end of the analysis and, if necessary, was analyzed on the same day. The same analytical method was used for the analysis of all samples, but separate analytical runs were used for the analysis of different cell types. Each analytical run included patient samples and blank samples, regardless of cell type. Each run consisted of: - 64-80 test samples from 8 patients (8-10 samples per patient). Each sample was labeled with a Dummy ID (provided by Fidelta doo, containing 2 letters and 1 number) and an Aliquot Name (provided by SGS, containing 5 letters or 4 letters and 1 number) for each subject in each cohort. - For cohorts A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, and B3, 8 samples from the same patient were followed by one blank sample (DPBS only) to serve as washout between different patients. These samples were marked as _E. - For cohorts C1, D1, and E1, two blank samples (DPBS only) were placed after the 7th and 9th samples (between samples on days -1 and 2) or after the 7th and 10th samples (between samples on days 10 and 16) from the same patient, and were used as washouts between unstimulated and stimulated samples from the same patient and between different patients. These samples were marked as _E. Gating Strategy -Flow cytometry data analysis is fundamentally based on the principle of gating: gates and regions are placed around populations of cells with common characteristics, usually forward scatter, side scatter, and marker expression, to interrogate and quantitate these populations of interest. -Similar gating strategies were performed for each cell type analyzed. A first gate was performed for doublet exclusion (named single cells), followed by two gates that were two-parameter density plots named P1 and P2. These plots show the two measured parameters, one on the x-axis and one on the y-axis, and display the events as density plots. The -P1 gate was based on forward (FSC) and side (SSC) scatter allowing estimation of cell size and granularity, respectively. -P2 gates were based on the antibodies used to stain SSCs and cell populations of interest, each specific for a different cell population (CD4 APCs, CD4 T lymphocytes, CD33, monocytes, and CD335, natural killer cells). - A single parameter histogram was used to set the P3 gate. Usually there are two peaks that can be interpreted as a positive and a negative data set. The non-triggering control was used to set a P3 gate that gated on less than 1% positive cells unless high background phosphorylation of the Stat protein of interest was not detected or the trigger control was not adequately stimulated. This gate was dragged and dropped onto each of the eight samples from the same patient in the same trigger group.

[0227] 1.13. IFN-α In Vivo Loading (Part 1) IFN-α-inducible biomarkers (neopterin, β-2-microglobulin) were measured after IFN-α-alpha challenge in vivo. (Blood collection) Following injection of IFN-α and administration of compound 1, neopterin and β2-microglobulin protein were quantified in serum collected 5 days after IFN-α challenge. 3 mL of blood was collected into serum tubes (3 mL serum tubes, Clot Activator, 13 x 75 mm, Vacuette Ref 454474 or alternative: Ref 454095). If PK and PD samples are collected at the same time point according to the schedule in the event table of the protocol, the PD sample is always collected after the PK sample.

[0228] (Serum preparation) After collection in serum tubes, incubate upright at room temperature for 30-45 minutes (no more than 60 minutes) to allow clotting. If using clot activator tubes, carefully invert 5-6 times to mix the clot activator with the blood before incubation. Centrifuge in a refrigerated centrifuge (4°C) for 15 minutes at the speed recommended by the manufacturer (usually 1000-2000 RCF). Do not use the brake to stop the centrifuge. · Examine the serum for turbidity. Cloudy samples should be centrifuged and aspirated again to remove any remaining insoluble material. · Carefully aspirate the supernatant (serum) and transfer 500μL of serum (500μL per tube) into two separate clean polypropylene tubes (1.5mL Polypropylene Microtubes (Clear, Natural Color Screw Cap, Graduated, Rimmed, Sterile) Catalog Number: 211-0099 (VWR)) and split the remainder into two additional tubes (backup). During the procedure, samples should be kept at 2-8°C or on wet ice. Store at -36°C to -20°C (out of direct sunlight).

[0229] (Neopterin measurement) The Neopterin ELISA offered by IBL International is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) competitive ELISA that allows the quantification of neopterin in human serum, plasma, and urine. In-study sample analysis was performed according to the manufacturer's technical manual. Each assay plate contains: -Five non-zero calibrators provided with the kit (CAL B~F: ready to use), -One zero calibrator provided with the kit (CAL A: ready to use), - Two quality controls provided with the kit (ready to use), - Up to 40 clinical samples tested undiluted (neat) according to the kit instructions It consisted of the following: All these standards, QC and clinical samples were tested in duplicate.

[0230] (β2-macroglobulin measurement) The VIDAS® β2-microglobulin assay offered by Biomerieux is an in vitro diagnostic assay that allows the quantification of β2-microglobulin in human serum or plasma. In-study sample analysis was performed according to the manufacturer's technical manual. Calibration was performed in duplicate at the beginning of the study and was valid for 14 days. Similarly, two controls were tested within the calibration step: a weak positive control (C1) and a strong positive control (C2).

[0232] (Part 2: In vivo gene expression (mRNA analysis) after IFN-α challenge) (Blood collection) Blood was collected directly into Paxgene Blood RNA tubes by venipuncture according to the manufacturer's instructions and sent for RNAseq analysis to Genewiz Europe (Bahnhofstraβe 86, 04158 Leipzig, Germany).

[0233] (Transcriptome analysis / RNA sequencing data processing and analysis) · Whole blood total RNA of three cohorts of eight subjects (two placebo and six active treatment) was obtained using a standard extraction kit. RNA integrity number (RIN) values ​​were assessed and all samples were analyzed. mRNA was obtained from total RNA using oligo(dT) beads after globin removal and used to generate double-stranded cDNA fragments. cDNA underwent paired-end repair to convert overhangs to blunt ends. After 3′-monoadenylation and adapter ligation, cDNA was purified. Then, cDNA was amplified by PCR using primers specific for the ligated adapters. The generated libraries were submitted to quality control before sequencing on an Illumina-HiSeq. Gene expression levels were quantified using the pseudoalignment method in Kallisto version 0.46.0 with default parameters (Nicolas L Bray, Harold Pimentel, Pall Melsted and Lior Pachter, "Near-optimal probabilistic RNA-seq quantification", Nature Biotechnology 34, 525-527 (2016), doi:10.1038 / nbt.3519). The Ensemble Human Gene Annotation version 100 (GRCh38) was chosen as the reference for gene quantification. Differential expression analysis was performed with DESeq2 version 1.30.0. (Love MI, Huber W, Anders S, "Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2," Genome Biology, 15, 550 (2014), doi: 10.1186 / s13059-014-0550-8). Briefly, for each gene included in the DESeq2 model, the log2 fold change (FC) was calculated and the Wald test statistic was evaluated using the P-value and adjusted P-value. In this test, we considered a gene as differentially expressed (DE) if |log2FC|>1 and adjusted P-value<0.05. For graphical visualization, we selected genes that were differentially expressed at least in the On condition. The heatmap shows the adjusted expression values ​​(average normalized read counts adjusted to z-score per gene) for each condition. The heatmap shown in Figure 6 was generated using the R package ComplexHeatmap version 2.8.0 (Zuguang G, Roland Eils R, Schlesner M, Affiliations collapse Complex heatmaps reveal patterns and correlations in multidimensional genomic data, 15;32(18):2847-9. Bioinformatics, (2016), doi: 10.1093 / bioinformatics / btw313).

[0234] (1.14. Conclusion) Single ascending oral doses of 10-200 mg of Compound 1 or placebo and multiple ascending oral doses of 30-150 mg of Compound 1 or placebo once daily were considered safe and well tolerated in healthy male adults.

[0235] Following a single dose of Compound 1 as an oral suspension in healthy male adults, a dose-proportional increase in exposure was observed under fasted conditions with no food effect up to 90 mg. At higher doses, absorption was saturated under fasted conditions, but higher exposures were achieved under fed conditions with a linear increase in exposure up to 200 mg.

[0236] No significant departure from dose proportionality was observed following repeated dosing of Compound 1 up to 150 mg once daily under fed conditions. Compound 1 showed a median t max was rapidly absorbed over the entire dosing period, ranging from 2 to 3.5 hours, with an average t 1 / 2 showed a biphasic decline ranging from 13.2 to 14.5 hours.

[0237] Compound 1 demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on the IFN-α pathway at steady state and after a single dose of Compound 1. A dose-response was observed leading to complete inhibition of pSTAT1 within 24 hours of dosing at the highest dose level used.

[0238] Dosing of Compound 1 at 150 mg QD completely inhibited IFNα-induced STAT1 and STAT3 phosphorylation, but had no effect on IL-2- and GM-CSF-induced STAT5 phosphorylation.

[0239] (Example 2. Drug-drug interaction clinical trial) The present study was an open-label, fixed-sequence drug-drug interaction study evaluating the effect of repeated oral dosing of 150 mg once daily (qd) of compound 1, a promising cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitor, on the PK of a single dose of midazolam (MDZ), a sensitive marker substrate of CYP3A4, in healthy subjects.

[0240] (2.1. Study Evaluation Items) The primary endpoints were: PK parameters of MDZ in plasma: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUC 0-∞ ), and the maximum plasma concentration observed (C max ) It was.

[0241] Secondary endpoints were: PK parameters of compound 1 in plasma: C max , the area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval (AUCτ), and the observed trough plasma concentration at the end of the dosing interval (Cτ) Frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs), and TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation It was. 2.2. Study Intervention This was an open-label, fixed-sequence study evaluating the effect of Compound 1 once daily (qd) on the PK of a single dose of MDZ, a sensitive indicator substrate of cytochrome P450 3A4, in healthy subjects.

[0242] (2.3. Selection Criteria) To be eligible, subjects met the following criteria: Male or female, aged between 18 and 55 years (inclusive) on the day of signing the informed consent form Female subjects should be permanently surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy, i.e., surgical removal of the ovaries; bilateral salpingectomy, i.e., surgical removal of the fallopian tubes; or hysterectomy, i.e., surgical removal of the uterus) or of non-childbearing potential, defined as amenorrhea for 12 months or more without another medical cause and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the postmenopausal range. They must also have a negative pregnancy test. In cases of surgical sterility, documentation shall be required. A body mass index between 18.0 and 30.0 kg / m2 (inclusive) · Be in good health as determined by the investigator based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and fasting clinical trial safety test results available at screening and prior to enrollment. Neutrophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts must be above the lower normal range. Total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase must be within the normal range. Other clinical trial safety test results must be within the reference range or test results outside the reference range must be deemed not clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator.

[0243] (Main exclusion criteria) The following criteria: Known hypersensitivity to the investigational drug (IP) and / or MDZ components, or a history of significant allergic reactions to the IP and / or MDZ components, as determined by the investigator Treatment with any medication (including over-the-counter and / or prescription medications, dietary supplements, functional foods, vitamins, and / or herbal supplements, and hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal subjects) except for occasional paracetamol (maximum dose of 2 g / day and maximum of 10 g / 2 weeks) within the past 2 weeks prior to the first dose or 5 half-lives of the medication, whichever is longer Subjects who met one or more of the following criteria were not selected for this study.

[0244] 2.4. Study Design / Method This was an open-label, fixed-sequence study evaluating the effect of Compound 1 once daily (qd) on the PK of a single dose of MDZ, a sensitive indicator substrate of cytochrome P450 3A4, in healthy subjects.

[0245] A total of 14 subjects were enrolled and completed the study.

[0246] The screening period was from day -21 to day -2.

[0247] On days 1 and 7, a single dose of 2 mg MDZ was administered orally under fed conditions as a commercial liquid formulation containing 2 mg / mL MDZ.

[0248] From days 3 to 8, 150 mg of Compound 1 was administered orally once daily under fed conditions as two 75 mg capsules.

[0249] A follow-up visit occurred 14 ± 3 days after the last study drug administration.

[0250] 2.5. Pharmacokinetic Evaluation The effect of Compound 1 on the PK of MDZ was evaluated by a mixed-effects model with treatment day as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect for log-transformed (natural log) MDZ parameters. Point estimates of the log-transformed PK parameters of Compound 1 as the test treatment versus MDZ as the reference treatment alone and in combination were calculated as geometric mean ratios (GMRs) expressed as percentages. To assess the possible interaction between Compound 1 and MDZ, 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the GMRs were calculated.

[0251] 2.6. Pharmacokinetic Results In vitro studies showed that compound 1 was a promising time-dependent inhibitor of CYP3A4. Therefore, the potential for compound 1 to cause CYP3A4-mediated drug-drug interactions in vivo was evaluated using MDZ, a sensitive indicator substrate of CYP3A4. Compound 1 administered at 150 mg once daily reduced C max About 1.10 times and AUC 0-∞ Compound 1 produced a modest increase in MDZ exposure of 1.21-fold for CYP3A4, indicating that compound 1 did not cause clinically relevant inhibition of CYP3A4, and the time-dependent inhibition observed in vitro was not confirmed.

[0252] The arithmetic means (coefficient of variation [CV%]) and GMR (90% CI) of the main PK parameters of MDZ are shown in the table below. [Table 11] (Table VIII)

[0253] Overall, Compound 1 exposure at 150 mg once daily was similar when administered alone or coadministered with a single dose of 2 mg MDZ. Steady state appeared to have been reached by the time of drug-drug interaction assessment, i.e., day 7. (2.7. Pharmacodynamic results) 2.7.1. Effects of Compound 1 on IFN-α, IL6, and IL2 pSTAT Pathways After repeated dosing of Compound 1 at 150 mg once daily and ex vivo stimulation of whole blood cells with IFN-α, IL6, or IL2, pSTAT protein was increased by 100% CD4+ / -100% STAT protein. + T cells. The kinetics of actual values ​​(mean percentage positive cells) for IFN-α, IL6, and IL2 pSTAT pathways over time were visually inspected on day 6. Excluding pre-dose values ​​on day 1, which may have been inappropriately stimulated, inhibition of IFN-α / pSTAT1, IFN-α / pSTAT3, and IL6 / pSTAT1 pathways by Compound 1 was observed before dosing on day 6, while for IL6 / pSTAT3 and IL2 / pSTAT5 pathways, values ​​on days 1 and 6 were similar.

[0254] Visual inspection of PD data and PK / PD correlation plots showed concentration-dependent inhibition of the IFN-α / pSTAT1, IFN-α / pSTAT3, and IL6 / pSTAT1 pathways by compound 1 on day 6. No inhibition or concentration-dependent effects were evident for the IL6 / pSTAT3 and IL2 / pSTAT5 JAK1-dependent pathways, indicating low sensitivity of these pathways to compound 1.

[0255] 2.7.2. STAT1 / 5 Expression in the Unstimulated State The actual values ​​(percentage positive cells) for STAT1 and STAT5 in the unstimulated state were visually inspected for changes over time. After 4 days of treatment with Compound 1, on day 6, CD4 + No obvious differences in the percentages of T cells were observed.

[0256] (2.8. Conclusion) Compound 1 administered at 150 mg once daily was max About 1.10 times and AUC 0-∞ Compound 1 resulted in a modest increase in MDZ exposure of 1.21-fold for CYP3A4, indicating that compound 1 did not cause clinically relevant inhibition of CYP3A4.

[0257] Compound 1 exposure at 150 mg once daily was similar when administered alone or coadministered with a single dose of 2 mg MDZ.

[0258] Repeated oral administration of Compound 1, 150 mg once daily, with or without MDZ, 2 mg, was well tolerated.

Subjects must be able and willing to comply with restrictions on prior medication: all medications (including OTC and / or prescription drugs, dietary supplements, functional foods, vitamin and / or herbal supplements [e.g., St. John's Wort], oral hormonal contraceptives in case of WOCBP, and hormone replacement therapy in case of postmenopausal subjects) except for occasional paracetamol (maximum dose 2 g / day and maximum of 10 g / 2 weeks) should be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of Compound 1 or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer, and for the entire duration of the study. Screen negative for drugs (amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cannabis, cocaine, opiates, methadone, tricyclic antidepressants) and alcohol. ·Able and willing to comply with the CSP requirements and sign an IEC / IRB approved ICF prior to any screening assessment. Female subjects should be permanently surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy, i.e., surgical removal of the ovaries, bilateral salpingectomy, or hysterectomy, i.e., surgical removal of the uterus) or of non-childbearing potential, defined as amenorrhea for 12 months or more without another medical cause and having follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the postmenopausal range. In cases of surgical sterilization, written confirmation shall be required. For women Consistent with recommendations from HMA's Clinical Trial Facilitation Group, female subjects are considered not of childbearing potential if they meet one of the following criteria: Amenorrhea for 12 months or more without another medical cause. In women not using hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, elevated FSH levels in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm postmenopausal status. However, if no amenorrhea has occurred for 12 months, a single FSH measurement is not sufficient. o Be permanently surgically sterile (bilateral oophorectomy, i.e., surgical removal of the ovaries, bilateral salpingectomy, or hysterectomy, i.e., surgical removal of the uterus). All other female subjects are considered WOCBP and must use one of the following highly effective methods of birth control prior to the first dose of Compound 1, during the clinical trial, and for at least 35 days after the final dose of Compound 1: ■ Intrauterine contraceptive device (non-hormonal). ■ Bilateral tubal occlusion. ■ Sexual abstinence, defined as abstinence from heterosexual intercourse for the entire risk period associated with the study treatment. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in the context of the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred usual subject lifestyle. Female subjects were not permitted to use any of the following contraceptive methods in this study: ■ Combined (estrogen- and progesterone-containing) hormonal contraceptives (oral, intravaginal, transdermal) associated with the inhibition of ovulation. ■ Progesterone-only hormonal (oral, injectable, or implantable) contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation. ■Intrauterine hormone releasing system. ■ Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, symptom-temperature, postovulatory), declared abstinence for the duration of the clinical trial, withdrawal, spermicide alone, and lactational amenorrhea. Hormonal contraceptives are not permitted due to potential interference with drug-drug interaction evaluation. If a WOCBP has a vasectomized partner, the WOCBP is not required to use an additional form of contraception, provided that the partner is the WOCBP clinical trial participant's only sexual partner and that the vasectomized partner has undergone a medical evaluation of surgical success. Within these limits, the particular form of contraception employed will be at the discretion of the subject, the investigator, and / or the subject's attending physician. The safety of Compound 1 during breastfeeding is unknown. Lactating women are not permitted to participate in this clinical trial.

In addition to using one of the available methods, participants must willingly use condoms from the first dose of IP, throughout the study, and until FU. Sexual abstinence, defined as abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, can be considered a highly effective contraceptive measure only if it is a preferred normal subject lifestyle. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of clinical trials. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, symptom-temperature, postovulatory methods), declared abstinence for the duration of a clinical trial, withdrawal, spermicide alone, and lactational amenorrhea are not acceptable methods of contraception. If the female partner of a male subject has been surgically sterilized, documented more than 1 year prior to screening, the subject is not required to use an additional form of contraception. Vasectomized male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential are not required to use an additional form of contraception, provided surgical sterilization has been successful (documented azoospermia by semen analysis). ○ Sperm donation is not permitted from the first dose of Compound 1 until FU during clinical trials.

[0284] 3.7. Pharmacokinetic Evaluation 3.7.1. Blood Samples for Determination of Compound 1 in Plasma Samples are collected by venipuncture (or indwelling cannula), preferably in the forearm, into tubes containing K2EDTA and immediately cooled (ice bath). Within 30 minutes of collection, plasma is separated in a refrigerated centrifuge at approximately 1500 g' for 10 minutes at 4°C and transferred into tubes, as described in the laboratory manual. Plasma samples are stored at ≦-65°C in the clinical center until dispatch to the biochemistry analysis laboratory.

[0285] 3.7.2. Blood samples for the determination of itraconazole in plasma Blood samples are collected by venipuncture (or indwelling cannula), preferably in the forearm, into tubes containing K2EDTA and immediately cooled (ice bath). Within 30 minutes of collection, plasma is separated in a refrigerated centrifuge at approximately 1500 g' for 10 minutes at 4°C and transferred into tubes, as described in the laboratory manual. Plasma samples are stored at ≦-20°C in the clinical center until dispatch to the biochemistry analysis laboratory.

[0286] Where appropriate, the following parameters will be determined by noncompartmental analysis using individual concentration-time profiles in plasma for Compound 1 and itraconazole:

[0287] Compound 1 (Day 1 and Day 8): C max ·t max AUC0-t AUC 0-∞ ·t 1 / 2,λ,z λz ·CL / F Vd / F

[0288] Itraconazole (Day 8): C τ C max ss ·t max AUC τ

[0289] (3.8. Pharmacokinetic Analysis and Drug Interaction Assessment) All pharmacokinetic analyses will be performed on subjects with available and evaluable data (eg, excluding any protocol deviations or AEs that may have an impact on the PK analysis).

[0290] Descriptive statistics will be calculated by treatment for plasma concentrations and the PK parameters listed. Mean ± SD plasma concentrations of Compound 1 and itraconazole versus time are plotted for each treatment.

[0291] Baseline is defined as the last available assessment prior to the first intake of Compound 1.

[0292] The effect of itraconazole on the PK of compound 1 was evaluated using the log-transformed compound 1 PK parameter C max and AUC 0-∞ is assessed by a mixed effects model with treatment day as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect. Point estimates are calculated as the geometric mean of the individual ratios of each parameter for the test / reference treatments and expressed as percentages. 90% CIs for the point estimates are calculated using the mean squared error of analysis of variance. Point estimates and 90% CIs are calculated using day 8 (compound 1 + itraconazole) as the test treatment versus day 1 (compound 1 alone) as the reference treatment.

[0293] (3.9. Test Results) The results of this clinical trial are shown in Table VIIIa. Compound 1 had an AUC of 3120. 0-t Concomitant use of Compound 1 with itraconazole resulted in an AUC of 5750. 0-t This results in the AUC 0-t This corresponds to a 1.8-fold increase.

[0301] 4.4. Study Design / Method This was a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study evaluating the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and PD of repeated once-daily doses of 50 mg or 150 mg Compound 1 administered orally for 28 days, or placebo, in subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

[0302] Thirty-one subjects were randomized 11:10:10 to three treatment groups: 50 mg once daily (qd) Compound 1, 150 mg qd Compound 1, and placebo qd.

[0303] Compound 1 and placebo were administered as capsules in the fed state.

[0304] Subjects were screened up to 28 days prior to the start of the treatment period. Subjects visited the clinical site on Day 1 (treatment initiation), Day 8 ± 1, Day 15 ± 2, and Day 28 ± 2. Follow-up visits were 14 ± 2 and 28 ± 2 days after the last study drug (IP) intake.

[0305] (Safety Assessment) Safety assessments were performed throughout the study and included evaluation of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory safety parameters, vital signs, physical examination, and 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs).

[0306] (Efficacy evaluation)

[0307] Efficacy was assessed by the investigator using PASI, extent of BSA involvement, and sPGA.

[0308] (Psoriasis Extent and Severity Index (PASI)) · The PASI combines an assessment of the degree of body surface area involvement in four anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of scaling, erythema, and plaque induration / infiltration (thickness) in each region to produce a total score of 0 for no psoriasis and a maximum score of 72 for severe disease. The PASI is the most commonly used and commonly accepted primary endpoint and measure of psoriasis severity in clinical trials (EMEA, 2004).

[0309] (affected body surface area (BSA)) Percentage of affected BSA was assessed at each visit. Percentage of affected BSA was defined as the percent of BSA invasion, where 1% is approximately the area of ​​the patient's handprint.

[0310] (Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score) The sPGA score was assessed at each visit. The sPGA for Psoriasis is used to determine a subject's overall psoriasis lesions at a given time point. The scale has no recall period. Subjects' psoriasis disease activity was assessed by a physician using a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (cleared) to 5 (severe).

[0311] (Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)) The DLQI was assessed at each visit. The DLQI is a simple, patient-administered, 10-question, validated, quality-of-life questionnaire covering six domains, including symptoms and emotions, daily activities, leisure, work and school, relationships, and treatment. Response categories include "not at all," "little," "a lot," and "very much," with corresponding scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively; no response ("not relevant") is also scored as "0." The recall period is one week.

[0312] 4.5. Pharmacokinetic Evaluation Blood samples for Compound 1 PK evaluation were collected at the clinic visit. Samples were obtained by venipuncture (or indwelling cannula) into tubes containing K2EDTA and immediately chilled (ice bath). Within 30 minutes of blood collection, plasma was separated in a refrigerated centrifuge at approximately 1500 g for 10 minutes at 4° C. and transferred into tubes. Plasma samples were stored locally at approximately −20° C. until shipment to a central laboratory.

In addition, samples for ex vivo challenge experiments (see the "Ex vivo Challenge Experiment" section below) should be collected, processed, and stored in tubes with K2EDTA and / or TruCulture tubes. Blood samples collected before and after dosing on Day 1 will be processed for serum and / or plasma. Processed samples will be sent to a central laboratory and then forwarded to a biochemistry analysis laboratory where serum and / or plasma can be used to determine protein levels (e.g., IL-17) and other possible markers in response to daily IP dosing.

[0315] (Ex vivo stress experiment)

[0316] Blood samples for ex vivo challenge with cytokines (e.g., IFNα) were taken pre- and post-dose on days 1 and 15 as specified in the laboratory manual, processed, and stored for shipment. Processed samples were sent to a central laboratory and then forwarded to a biochemical analysis laboratory where the samples were used to determine proteins (e.g., IL-17) and / or other potential markers.

[0317] (Blood RNA PD marker)

[0318] Blood samples for RNA analysis were collected by venipuncture (or indwelling cannula) in PAXgene Blood RNA tubes, processed, and stored. Additionally, samples for ex vivo challenge experiments were collected, processed, and stored in tubes containing K2EDTA and / or TruCulture tubes. Blood samples collected before and after dosing on day 1 were processed and stored for shipping. Processed samples were sent to a central laboratory and then transferred to a biochemical analysis laboratory where samples could be used to determine RNA expression in response to daily IP dosing.

[0319] (Ex vivo stress experiment)

[0320] Blood samples for ex vivo challenge with cytokines (e.g., IFNα) were collected pre- and post-dose on days 1 and 15, processed, and stored for shipment.
