AI Technical Summary
Current oral P2Y12 antagonists and small molecule GPIs like eptifibatide and tirofiban are ineffective in the early stages of myocardial infarction due to slow onset of action and require renal function-based dose adjustments, posing challenges in emergency situations, especially for patients with impaired renal function.
Zalunfiban, an inhibitor of the platelet αIIbβ3 receptor, is rapidly metabolized to Des-Gly zalunfiban with minimal antiplatelet activity and is excreted via renal and hepatic routes, allowing for administration without renal function-based dose adjustments, suitable for treating thrombotic disorders in patients with impaired renal function.
Zalunfiban provides rapid inhibition of platelet function and reduces the risk of bleeding and death in myocardial infarction patients, including those with renal impairment, by maintaining consistent therapeutic levels without the need for dose adjustments.

Description
METHODS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF ZALUNFIBAN CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Number 63 / 671,460, filed July 15, 2024, titled METHODS FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF ZALUNFIBAN, the contents of which are incorporated herewith by reference in their entirety. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle. Worldwide, about 15.9 million myocardial infarctions occurred in 2015 in developed countries, and more than 3 million people had an ST elevation MI (STEMI). Of the people who die from MI, about half die within an hour of their first symptoms, and before they can reach the hospital. There is a direct relationship between the amount of time a heart artery is closed and the severity of the heart attack and odds of survival. Therefore, pre-hospital treatment is critical. In the past 40 years, in-hospital STEMI mortality has declined dramatically, but pre-hospital mortality remains unchanged.
[0003] Oral P2Y12 antagonists administered along with aspirin at the first point of medical care, for example, in an ambulance, are not effective because these agents require several hours to achieve maximal effect in STEMI. Early intravenous administration of glycoprotein IIb / IIIa inhibitors (GPI) improves clinical outcomes but requires an initial bolus administration followed by continuous infusion.
[0004] Since transportation to a care facility such as a hospital can take longer than an hour, there is an urgent need for a rapidly-acting therapy that can be administered to MI patients to achieve high- grade inhibition of platelet function before they reach the care facility. Additionally, in order to reduce the risk of bleeding, it is desirable that the antiplatelet effect of the rapid-onset therapy diminish as the effects of commonly co-administered oral P2Y12 antagonists, such as current standard-of-care therapies, reach their maximal effects.
[0005] Moreover, current small molecule GPIs such as eptifibatide and tirofiban are both substantially excreted unchanged in the urine, necessitating dose adjustments in patients with renal impairment. However, dose adjustments during emergency situations such as MI can pose a challenge, as a medical professional needs to assess whether there is renal impairment, which is made more difficult if the patient is non-responsive or outside a hospital setting (e.g., in an ambulance). SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] Zalunfiban (RUC-4) is an inhibitor of the platelet αIIbβ3 receptor (i.e., glycoprotein IIb / IIIa) and is described in United States patent number 9,303,044, which is incorporated herein by reference.C1519.70003WO00 1 / 69 #14198807v1Mechanistically, zalunfiban is believed to inhibit ligand binding to αIIbβ3 by binding to both the αIIb and β3 subunits and displacing the Mg2+ metal from the ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) required for ligand binding; this locks the β3 subunit of the receptor in its inactive conformation. This may reduce the likelihood of thrombocytopenia, because data indicate that much of the thrombocytopenia caused by the current αIIbβ3 antagonists (i.e., glycoprotein IIb / IIIa inhibitors) is due to the presence of antibodies that bind to conformations of the receptor induced by the binding of the drugs. Thrombocytopenia is one of the potentially dangerous side effects of all current agents (~0.5-2%). Zalunfiban may also exhibit enhanced efficacy relative to blood thinners such as eptifibatide and tirofiban, which induce a high-affinity binding conformation that may result in ligand binding and platelet aggregation as the drug levels decline.
[0007] Zalunfiban is being developed for prehospital STEMI treatment. The present disclosure stems from the unexpected discoveries that zalunfiban is rapidly metabolized in humans to Des-Gly zalunfiban, which has minimal antiplatelet activity and is excreted via renal and hepatic routes, and that only very small amounts of unchanged zalunfiban are excreted in urine. Thus, the inventors posit that zalunfiban may be suitable for administration to patients with impaired renal function without renal function-based dose adjustment.
[0008] Accordingly, in one aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein: the subject has renal impairment, and the therapeutically effective amount is the same amount that would be administered to a subject in need thereof with normal renal function.
[0009] In another aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering to the subject in need thereof a first dose comprising a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; subsequently determining that the subject has renal impairment; and administering to the subject in need thereof a second dose comprising the same therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0010] In another aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof having renal impairment, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein the method does not produce a zalunfiban Cmaxgreater than 1.7 times the zalunfiban Cmaxproduced in a subject with normal renal function.C1519.70003WO00 2 / 69 #14198807v1
[0011] In another aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof having renal impairment, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein the method does not produce a zalunfiban AUC0-t greater than 1.7 times the zalunfiban AUC0-tproduced in a subject with normal renal function.
[0012] In another aspect, provided herein is, in a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof having renal impairment, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the improvement comprising; administering the same amount of zalunfiban, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the subject in need thereof with renal impairment that would be administered to a subject in need thereof with normal renal function.
[0013] It should be appreciated that the foregoing concepts, and the additional concepts discussed below, may be arranged in any suitable combination, as the present disclosure is not limited in this respect. Further, other advantages and novel features of the present disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description of various non-limiting embodiments when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] The terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, or inhibiting the progress of a disease or condition described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of the disease have developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible subject prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and / or in light of exposure to a pathogen). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.
[0026] The term “prevent,” “preventing,” or “prevention” refers to a prophylactic treatment of a subject who is not and was not with a disease but is at risk of developing the disease or who was with a disease, is not with the disease, but is at risk of regression of the disease. In certain embodiments, the subject is at a higher risk of developing the disease or at a higher risk of regression of the disease than an average healthy member of a population.
[0027] A “prophylactically effective amount” of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to prevent a condition, or one or more symptoms associated with the condition or prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of a therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the condition. The term “prophylactically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent.

[0030] The terms “Des-Gly zalunfiban” and “Des-Gly Zalunfiban” refer to 2-(5-aminopyridin-3-yl)- 7-(piperazin-1-yl)-5H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one:.C1519.70003WO00 6 / 69 #14198807v1DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS
[0031] Because of the difficulties associated with determining renal status at the first point of medical care, there is a need for small molecule GPIs, the dosing of which is not dependent on renal function, and methods of use thereof. Such small molecule GPIs and methods would allow for the use during medical emergencies (e.g., treating an MI patient) without concern for the patient’s level of renal sufficiency. Although other small molecule GPIs exist (e.g., eptifibatide and tirofiban), they require dosage adjustment in patients with renal impairment. But particularly during medical emergencies such as MI, there are significant complications associated with improper dosing of a small molecule GPI (e.g., excessive bleeding), but the patient must be treated quickly to prevent death.
[0032] Zalunfiban is being developed for prehospital STEMI treatment. The present disclosure stems from the unexpected discoveries that zalunfiban is rapidly metabolized in humans to Des-Gly zalunfiban, which has minimal antiplatelet activity and is excreted via renal and hepatic routes, and that only very small amounts of unchanged zalunfiban are excreted in urine. Thus, the inventors posit that zalunfiban is suitable for administration to patients with impaired renal function without renal function-based dose adjustment, unlike other small molecule GPIs. This is a significant improvement over existing small molecule GPIs, as may allow for the treatment of patients with impaired renal function (e.g., patients with renal insufficiency or who are receiving dialysis) during medical emergencies without the risks associated with the existing small molecule GPIs (e.g., increased risk of excessive bleeding if dosed improperly, or increased risk of death if not administered soon enough).
[0033] The aspects described herein are not limited to specific embodiments, systems, compositions, methods, or configurations, and as such can, of course, vary. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and, unless specifically defined herein, is not intended to be limiting.
[0034] In one aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein: the subject has renal impairment, and the therapeutically effective amount is the same amount that would be administered to a subject in need thereof with normal renal function.
[0035] In another aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering to the subject in need thereof a first dose comprising a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; subsequently determining that the subject has renal impairment; and administering to the subject in need thereof a second dose comprising the same therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.C1519.70003WO00 7 / 69 #14198807v1
[0036] In another aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof having renal impairment, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein the method does not produce a zalunfiban Cmax greater than 1.7 times the zalunfiban Cmaxproduced in a subject with normal renal function.
[0037] In another aspect, provided herein is a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof having renal impairment, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein the method does not produce a zalunfiban AUC0-t greater than 1.7 times the zalunfiban AUC0-t produced in a subject with normal renal function.
[0038] In another aspect, provided herein is, in a method of treating or preventing a thrombotic disorder in a subject in need thereof having renal impairment, the method comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the improvement comprising; administering the same amount of zalunfiban, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the subject in need thereof with renal impairment that would be administered to a subject in need thereof with normal renal function.
[0039] In certain embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising the therapeutically effective amount of zalunfiban, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more carriers, diluents, or excipients.

In certain embodiments, the method comprises administering to the subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a mixture of monoacetate and monohydrochloride salts of zalunfiban. Dose Selection
[0067] Several factors are considered in connection with dose selection. It is necessary to consistently achieve high grade inhibition of platelet aggregation (e.g., at least 75% or at least 80%) within 15 minutes of administration. It is necessary to minimize the risk of bleeding, particularly in persons of low body weight (e.g., elderly women) who have the highest risk of bleeding. It is also desirable for zalunfiban to persist, e.g., maintain at least 50% inhibition of platelet function, for up to 120 minutes.
[0068] However, the determination of antiplatelet effect attributable to zalunfiban may be confounded by the presence of other antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, ticagrelor, and αIIbβ3 antagonists other than zalunfiban. Therefore, an assay is required that can differentiate the effects of zalunfiban from those of other antiplatelet agents.
[0069] Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) is considered the gold standard assay to assess the potency of antiplatelet agents, such as Zalunfiban, because of its association with clinical outcomes. Activators such as ADP, iso-TRAP, and Arachidonic Acid (AA) can be used to assess the differential effects of various platelet inhibitors. Zalunfiban dramatically inhibits ADP and AA, whereas aspirin does not significantly inhibit ADP or iso-TRAP induced LTA, and ticagrelor (and other P2Y12 inhibitors) inhibits the ADP induced LTA to various degrees, and slightly inhibits iso-TRAP induced LTA (depending on the dose administered). Addition of ADP + PAR-4 activating peptide completely inhibits the inhibition of platelet aggregation by P2Y12 inhibitors.
[0070] LTA may be difficult to perform during STEMI, as patients are being transported in an ambulance, or are being treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a cardiac catheterization laboratory away from the clinical lab. LTA requires significant manipulation of a blood sample and addition of reagents. As an alternative, rapid platelet function assays like VerifyNow can be used directly, using a blood sample without any manipulation. See, e.g., Joseph A. Jakubowski et al., Platelets, December 2011; 22(8): 619–625.
[0071] VerifyNow (VN) assays (Instrumentation Laboratories, Bedford, MA) are whole-blood, cartridge-based, and automated, and produce results within 15 minutes of blood draw. They are based on the agglutination of fibrinogen-coated beads by platelets activated by different agonists. Commercially available VN assays are designed to study the antiplatelet effects of aspirin (VN Aspirin cartridge; arachidonic acid activator) or P2Y12 antagonists (VN PRUTest cartridge and VN P2Y12 cartridge; ADP+PGE1 activator / inhibitor combination). The modified thrombin receptorC1519.70003WO00 16 / 69 #14198807v1activating peptide (iso-TRAP) is included in a separate reaction chamber (in addition to the ADP+PGE1 reaction chamber) in both the PRUTest and P2Y12 cartridges, and the P2Y12 cartridges further include a ‘BASE channel’ reaction chamber in which a PAR-1 activating peptide( iso-TRAP) at higher concentrations is combined with a PAR-4 activating peptide (PAR-4 AP) to achieve potent activation that can overcome the effects of P2Y12 antagonists.
[0072] VerifyNow ADP+PGE1, iso-TRAP, and base channel assays may be used to report zalunfiban-mediated inhibition in near real-time. VN assays can be used to help deconvolute antiplatelet effects of αIIbβ3 antagonists versus P2Y12 antagonists. Zalunfiban dramatically inhibits all 3 VN assays, whereas aspirin does not inhibit the assays, and ticagrelor dramatically inhibits the ADP+PGE1 assay, slightly inhibits the iso-TRAP assay, and does not inhibit the base channel assay. The BASE channel assay can be used to monitor the pharmacodynamic effects of zalunfiban independent of any P2Y12 inhibitors. Patient Populations
[0073] The term “level of renal sufficiency” refers to the level of renal (kidney) function in an individual. The levels of renal sufficiency in an individual include: no renal impairment, mild renal impairment, moderate renal impairment, severe renal impairment and end stage renal disease (ESRD).
[0074] The term “renal impairment” includes mild renal impairment, moderate renal impairment, severe renal impairment and end stage renal disease (ESRD).
[0075] The terms a “subject having renal impairment,” a “subject in need thereof having renal impairment,” a “renally impaired subject,” and the like refer to a subject having mild renal impairment, moderate renal impairment, or severe renal impairment, or a subject having end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
[0076] Different thresholds or cutoffs can be used to determine the level of renal sufficiency in an individual depending on the technique used and the interpretation of the health care practitioner. Several variables can be considered when determining the level of renal sufficiency in an individual including, for example, whether an individual is obese, the individual's race, the individual's gender, and the individual's age. Recommendations regarding classification of renal sufficiency are known in the art. These recommendations may change over time as newer techniques or better equations are used to more accurately determine renal function in an individual. For example, a patient with mild to moderate renal impairment may have a creatinine clearance rate of 30-90 mL / min. On the other hand, a patient with severe renal impairment may have a creatinine clearance rate of <30 mL / min.
[0077] In certain embodiments, the Cockcroft-Gault equation is used to determine the renal status of the subject. In certain embodiments, the subject with severe renal impairment has a creatinine clearance rate of 15 to 29 mL / minute using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. In certain embodiments, the subject with mild, moderate or severe renal impairment has a creatinine clearance rate of 15 to 90 mL / minute using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. In certain embodiments, the subject with mild orC1519.70003WO00 17 / 69 #14198807v1moderate renal impairment has a creatinine clearance rate of 30 to 90 mL / minute using the Cockcroft- Gault equation. The Cockcroft-Gault equation is CrCL={[(140−Age)×WT] / Scr} where CrCL is creatinine clearance (ml / min), age is in years, WT is actual body weight (kg), and Scr is serum creatinine (mg / dl); for female subjects the value is multiplied by a factor of 0.85.
[0078] In certain embodiments, the subject's serum creatinine concentration is used to determine the level of renal sufficiency of the subject. In certain embodiments, the subject with severe renal impairment has an approximate serum creatinine concentration of: less than 4.9 mg / dL for an 18-20 year old man, less than 3.5 mg / dL for an 18-20 year old woman, less than 4.5 mg / dL for a 21-30 year old man, less than 3.2 mg / dL for a 21-30 year old woman, less than 4.1 mg / dL for a 31-40 year old man, less than 2.9 mg / dL for a 31-40 year old woman, less than 2.7 mg / dL for a 41-50 year old woman, less than 3.3 mg / dL for a 51-60 year old man, less than 2.4 mg / dL for a 51-60 year old woman, less than 3.0 mg / dL for a man over 60 years old, or less than 2.0 mg / dL for a woman over 60 years old.
[0079] In certain embodiments, the renal status of the subject may be determined by measuring the “estimated glomerular filtration rate” or “eGFR” of the individual. The eGFR in mL / min / 1.73 m2is calculated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] equation: (eGFR in mL / min) / 1.73 m2=175×(serum creatinine in mg / dL)−1.154×Age−0.203×0.742 (if female)×1.212 (if black).
[0080] Further details regarding the calculation of the eGFR may be found in, e.g., Levey A S, Coresh J, Greene T, Marsh J, Stevens L A, Kusek J W, Van Lente F: Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration. Expressing the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study Equation for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate with Standardized Serum Creatinine Values. Ann Intern Med.2009;150(9):604-12.
[0081] Renal impairment status based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance is as follows: Normal (i.e., no renal impairment): eGFR ≥ 90 mL / min / 1.73 m2; Mild renal impairment: eGFR 60-89 mL / min / 1.73 m2(i.e., ≥ 60 mL / min / 1.73 m2and < 90 mL / min / 1.73 m2); Moderate renal impairment: eGFR 30-59 mL / min / 1.73 m2(i.e., ≥ 30 mL / min / 1.73 m2and < 60 mL / min / 1.73 m2); Severe renal impairment: eGFR 15-29 mL / min / 1.73 m2(i.e., ≥ 15 mL / min / 1.73 m2and < 30 mL / min / 1.73 m2) and not on hemodialysis; End-stage renal disease (ESRD): eGFR < 15 mL / min / 1.73 m2and not on hemodialysis or on hemodialysis.

EXAMPLES
[0187] In order that the present disclosure may be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. The synthetic and biological examples described in this application are offered to illustrate the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods provided herein and are not to be construed in any way as limiting in their scope. Example 1: Phase I Clinical Study Rationale
[0188] A human radiolabeled mass balance study is the single most direct method to obtain quantitative and comprehensive information about the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of a drug. It can also help define the overall pathways of drug metabolism and excretion, as well as identify and quantify circulating metabolites. It can also provide information on which metabolites should be structurally characterized, and whether renal or hepatic studies or drug interaction studies should be considered. See Clinical Pharmacology Considerations for Human Radiolabeled Mass Balance Studies Guidance for Industry. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) July 2024 Clinical Pharmacology. The key safety, regulatory, and clinical pharmacology findings that can be derived from a well designed mass balance study are provided below: 1. Generate whole blood concentration versus time profiles of total radioactivity, parent drug, and metabolites of interest, to identify pharmacokinetic analytes of interest. 2. Obtain pharmacokinetic parameters of total radioactivity, parent drug, and metabolites of interest. 3. Obtain cumulative percentage of administered dose radioactivity recovered in urine, feces, and combined over time. 4. Identify primary metabolic and elimination pathways, where more than 80% of radioactivity is recovered in excreta. 5. Identify metabolite(s), including structural characterization of metabolites representing more than 10% of total drug exposure in plasma / whole blood. 6. Construct a proposed biotransformation scheme based upon the structurally identified metabolites and routes of elimination.C1519.70003WO00 45 / 69 #14198807v17. Determine the percentage of systemically available parent drug and active metabolite(s) eliminated by the kidney. If this is 30% or more, this indicates the drug is substantially eliminated by the kidney. 8. Determine the percentage of parent drug and active metabolite(s) eliminated by the liver. If this is 20% or more of the absorbed drug, this indicates drug is substantially eliminated by the liver. Study Design
[0189] An open-label, single-dose, phase 1 study of zalunfiban was conducted to assess the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of zalunfiban. A single subcutaneous (SC) injection of 9.5 mg / 5 µCi [14C]-zalunfiban in 0.5 mL was administered to eight healthy male participants with normal renal function in a fed state, with water. Suitable SC injection sites included the upper arm or abdomen, in a location that did not interfere with study procedures. The injection site was required to be free of skin lesions, scars, tattoos, and bony prominences and had to be readily visible for monitoring. The injection was administered at a 45 to 90-degree angle to a pinched region of the skin. Following injection, a bandage was placed over the injection site. The bandage was later collected and tested for IP leakage.
[0190] Blood, urine, and fecal samples were collected at predetermined time points up to 240 hours for pharmacokinetics (PK), total reactivity, and metabolite assessments. Blood samples were collected pre-dose (-60 minutes); 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 minutes; and 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216 and 240 hours after dosing. Blood samples were taken via an indwelling IV catheter or by direct venipuncture into designated blood collection tubes. Study samples were diluted immediately after blood collection at a ratio of 1:4 using prechilled 30% acetonitrile, then separated into storage tubes and immediately frozen at -80 ℃. During screening, 1.0 mL aliquots of urine were collected from urinalysis samples and used for a background14C measurement. Following admission, urine was collected pre-dose, and then post-dose over the following collection time intervals: 0-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-24, 24-48, 48-72, 72-96, 96-120, 120-144, 144- 168, 168-192, 192-216, and 216-240 hours. During each interval, individual urine samples were collected, and retained samples harvested, processed, and stored. Individual urine samples were then pooled in 3,000 mL collection containers. From each container 4.5 mL and 12 mL aliquots were obtained for14C analysis and metabolite profiling and identification, respectively. Individual bowel movements were collected in labeled containers and stored at 2-8 ℃. These were pooled into containers as per the following collection intervals: pre-dose and post-dose 0-24, 24-48, 48-72, 72-96, 96-120, 120-144, 144-168, 168-192, 192-216 and 216-240 hours. Samples were harvested, processed, and stored.

[0193] Total reactivity analysis: Whole blood, urine, and feces samples were analyzed for total14C radioactivity by liquid scintillation counting (LSC) and / or by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). When total radioactivity concentrations were above the limit of quantification, total radioactivity analysis was performed using two liquid scintillation counters, a TriCarb 3180 TR / SL and a TriCarb 5110 TR (Perkin Elmer, Waltham MA). If the concentration was below the limit of quantification (BLOQ), samples were analyzed by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). Whole blood samples were analyzed using AMS. Urine sample analysis was performed using liquid scintillation. Each sample was counted for at least 10 min or until the 2% terminator was reached. Homogenized feces samples were combusted in a Perkin Elmer, Model 307 sample oxidizer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham MA). The CO2 produced was trapped in a Carbosorb / Permafluor 2:1 v / v (Perkin Elmer, Waltham MA) to determine total carbon content and the14C:12C ratio and then analyzed by AMS. A carbon content correction based upon pre-dose whole blood samples and urine samples was applied to all post dose samples. As the carbon content of homogenized feces can be variable, all homogenized feces samples were analyzed by C,H,N using a Thermo Scientific FlashSmart elemental analyzer (Waltham, MA). Urea standards were used to calibrate and normalize the C,H,N, and the carbon content of each sample was determined.
[0194] Quantification in whole blood, urine, feces: Whole blood samples were analyzed for zalunfiban and Des-Gly zalunfiban using a Sciex (AB Sciex, Framingham, MA) 5500 liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) using a validated analytical method andC1519.70003WO00 49 / 69 #14198807v1zalunfiban and Des-Gly zalunfiban reference standards provided by CeleCor Therapeutics. Zalunfiban and Des-Gly zalunfiban concentrations below 5 and 25 ng / mL respectively were considered BLOQ. Sample acceptance criteria and analytical procedures were in compliance with FDA Good Laboratory Practice regulations and ICH Good Clinical Practice guidelines.
[0195] Pharmacokinetics: Whenever possible, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated for each study subject based on whole blood concentrations of zalunfiban as well as whole blood, urine and feces total radioactivity. Zalunfiban and whole blood radioactivity concentrations were used to calculate PK parameters using standard noncompartmental analysis (NCA) methods using Phoenix WinNonlin software (Phoenix, Princeton, NJ). All statistical programming and tables, figures and listings were carried out using SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC).
[0196] Mass Balance: Whenever possible, PK parameters were calculated based on the urine and feces concentrations of total radioactivity and the cumulative amount excreted (Ae0-t).
[0197] Metabolite Profiling and Identification: Whole blood, urine and feces metabolite profiling were performed and metabolite identification conducted, as appropriate. Whole blood, feces, and urine radiochromatograms were generated for each sample by collecting high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractions using Agilent 1290 and Agilent 1260 systems (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA), followed by AMS. AMS data were imported into LAURA V6 (LabLogic, Sheffield, UK) to generate radiochromatograms, and regions of interest were quantified and provisionally identified where possible. Assignment of parent and metabolites was made by matching retention times, using liquid chromatography ultraviolet chromatography (LC-UV).
[0198] LC-MS-MS systems: Whole blood, urine, and feces samples were analyzed using high resolution LC-MS / MS. A single whole blood sample was analyzed from the all participants, cross- participant, pool combining samples from hours 0-144 hour. A single urine sample was analyzed from all participants, cross-participant, pool combining samples from 0-48 hours. A single feces sample from a cross-participant pool combining samples from 0-192 hours was analyzed.
[0199] In vitro testing for inhibition of platelet aggregation: Ten mL of whole blood was collected from healthy human donors via venipuncture and treated with an anticoagulant (D-phenylalanyl- prolyl-arginyl chloromethyl ketone). From this, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was prepared by centrifuging whole blood at room temperature at 650 x g for 4 minutes. PRP was removed and standardized to a uniform platelet concentration of 3.0 x 105 / μL, using platelet poor plasma as a diluent, where necessary. Compounds were tested for inhibition of platelet aggregation via incubation with PRP for 20 minutes at 22 ℃ followed by the addition of 25 μl of 50 μM adenosine diphosphate, to initiate aggregation. Platelet aggregation was measured using an aggregometer (PAP-8E C / N 106075; Bio / Data Corp, Horsham PA). For each compound, a range of concentrations was tested to produce a single fitted curve, and the Levenberg-Marquardt approach was used to calculate IC50values.C1519.70003WO00 50 / 69 #14198807v1
[0200] Safety: Safety endpoints for this study included: adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory abnormalities, vital sign measurement, 12-lead ECG abnormalities, physical examination findings, use of concomitant medications and unscheduled assessments as needed for management of AEs. Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate) were measured at screening, admission, pre-dose, post-dose at 1, 4, 8, hours, and in the morning on study days 2-11. Safety laboratory tests included serum chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis, and were performed at screening, admission, and on study days 1, 4, and 11. On day 1, additional platelet counts were performed post-dose at 2, 6, and 12 hours. Following SC administration, the injection site was observed for bruising and / or hematoma. Participants were continuously monitored for adverse events (AEs) and new use of medication(s). During the study, AEs were collected from the time of informed consent to the last time the participant was seen. Any AE that occurred after the start of study drug administration was considered a treatment-emergent AE (TEAE). The investigator or designee assessed the severity of all AEs using the toxicity grading scale in National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0. These scales assign a grade of 1 through 5 to indicate the severity of AEs.
[0201] Materials: [14C]-zalunfiban stock material was manufactured by Pharmaron, UK, The Old Glassworks, Nettleford Road, Cardiff, CF245JQ, UK and supplied as a solid. Unlabeled zalunfiban was manufactured by University of Iowa Pharmaceuticals,115 S Grand Ave Suite G20, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA. Study Results
[0202] Zalunfiban was well-tolerated in all participants, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. There were no observed clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory tests, vital signs or ECGs. There were no serious TEAEs, TEAEs leading to study discontinuation, or deaths in the study.
[0203] Zalunfiban was detectable in whole blood within 5 minutes post-injection. Four of eight participants had their last measurable whole blood zalunfiban concentrations at 4 h post-dose, 3 of 8 participants had their last measurable whole blood concentrations at 3 h post-dose, and one participant had a last measurable concentration at 2.5 h post-dose (FIG.2). After a single SC dose of [14C]- zalunfiban at a nominal specific activity of 9.5 mg / 5 μCi, urine was the primary route of excretion (FIG.1). Median Tmaxradioactivity and whole blood zalunfiban values were 0.50 and 0.25 hours.
[0204] Whole blood analysis: Whole blood zalunfiban concentrations reached a peak by approximately 0.25 hours (median) and thereafter declined with a mean (SD) terminal T1 / 2of 0.96 (0.33) hours. The mean (SD) Cmaxof zalunfiban was 95.23 (11.52) ng / mL, mean (SD) AUC0-lastwas 109 (19.6) h*ng / mL, and mean (SD) AUC0-infwas 118 (19.5) h*ng / mL. (50.0) L (Table 5). As with zalunfiban, whole blood radioactivity was detected in all participants at the 5 minute post-dose blood sample. Peak whole blood radioactivity occurred at 0.50 hours (median) and thereafter declined in an apparent biphasic manner, with an overall mean (SD) terminal T1 / 2of 98.32 (31.35) hours. The meanC1519.70003WO00 51 / 69 #14198807v1(SD) Cmaxof whole blood total radioactivity was 165 (16.1) ngEq / mL, mean (SD) AUC0-lastwas 705 (81.6) h*ngEq / mL, and mean (SD) AUC0-infwas 782 (102) h*ngEq / mL (Table 6). Mean whole blood zalunfiban / total radioactivity expressed as a percentage was 35.6% for AUC0-4and 15.1% for AUC0-inf(Table 7). Table 5. Whole blood zalunfiban PK parameters in the PK population.Table 6. Whole blood total radioactivity PK parameters in the PK population.Table 7. Whole blood zalunfiban / total radioactivity in the PK population.
[0205] Metabolite profiling and excretion: In whole blood extracts, only 2 peaks with more than 5% of total radioactivity were seen in the radiochromatograms from the AUC0-144cross-pooled sample. Zalunfiban whole blood radioactivity exceeded blood concentration levels of zalunfiban, indicating the presence of metabolites. The major identified metabolite was Des-Gly zalunfiban, which has <1% of the antiplatelet activity of zalunfiban. Zalunfiban and Des-Gly zalunfibanC1519.70003WO00 52 / 69 #14198807v1accounted for 46.9% and 24.4% of the total circulating radioactivity over 144 hours, respectively. Each component peak of the remaining circulating radioactivity accounted for <5% of the total.
[0206] In urine extracts there were 2 peaks with more than 5% of total radioactivity. Based on LC- UV retention times, Des-Gly zalunfiban was the major radioactive component in urine, accounting for 64.1% of the 0-48 hr crossparticipant pooled sample and equivalent to 52.98% of the dose excreted over 48 hours. Zalunfiban accounted for 1.59 % of total radioactivity, equivalent to only 1.31% of dose excreted (FIG.3).
[0207] In the feces extracts there were 6 peaks with more than 5% of total radioactivity. Based on LC-UV retention times, Des-Gly zalunfiban was identified as the major radioactive component, accounting for 20.8% of the total radioactivity identified in the 0-192 h sample, equivalent to 2.87% of the dose excreted. Zalunfiban accounted for 0.173% of total radioactivity, equivalent to 0.0239% of the dose. By 240 hours, cumulative percentages of recovered14C ranged from 94.6-98.1%, cumulative urinary14C recovery ranged from 77.1% to 86.6%, and cumulative fecal recovery ranged from 10.7% to 18.5%. Most of the excretion had taken place by the 144-hour post-dose timepoint. Urine was the major route of14C recovery (FIG.3).
[0208] Reviewing the cumulative recovered radioactivity (%) vs time profile for urine, feces, and total radioactivity, shows that on average more than 80% of the radioactivity was recovered by 48 hours, with the majority of14C in urine. Excretion of smaller amounts in feces was delayed, and this accounts for most excretion past 48 hours (FIG.1).
[0209] Metabolite identification and parent drug conversion: Plasma, urine, and feces samples were analyzed with the objective of identifying radioactive regions representing 10% or more of the circulating radioactivity in whole blood (“AUC” pool) or accounting for 10% or more of the administered radioactivity / dose in urine and feces. No single radioactive region in feces accounted for greater than 10% of the administered radioactivity / dose; therefore, no formal metabolite identification was performed. Based upon this, the proposed metabolic pathway of zalunfiban involves a single step, the removal of glycine to form Des-Gly zalunfiban (FIG.4). This inactive metabolite is then primarily excreted in the urine, with lesser amounts excreted in the feces.
[0210] Antiplatelet activity of Des-Gly zalunfiban: The IC50for platelet aggregation of Des-Gly zalunfiban was 25.5 ±3.5 μM, whereas the IC50for zalunfiban was 0.112 μM, indicating that Des-Gly zalunfiban has < 0.05% of the antiplatelet activity of Zalunfiban. Since Des-Gly zalunfiban was not detected in whole blood at concentrations above the lower quantification limit of 25 ng / mL, it is considered to be an inactive metabolite.
[0211] Discussion: Zalunfiban rapidly reaches peak concentrations after subcutaneous injection. It is primarily metabolized to the inactive Des-Gly zalunfiban metabolite, the only metabolite to exceed the threshold of 10% of total radioactivity whole blood AUC0-144, in cross-pooled samples. Zalunfiban is excreted via renal and hepatic routes, with over 80% of the total dose recovered in urine and feces by 48 hours. Zalunfiban was not detectable in whole blood after at 3.5 hours (median) andC1519.70003WO00 53 / 69 #14198807v1it comprised only 1.31% of the dose excreted in the urine over 48 hours, and 0.0239% of the dose detected in the feces (0-192 hours). With the low urinary recovery of unchanged zalunfiban, its rapid metabolism to Des-Gly zalunfiban, and minimal antiplatelet activity of Des-Gly zalunfiban, the inventors posit that zalunfiban is suitable for patients with impaired renal function without dosage adjustment.
