Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCTMETHODS OF TREATMENTFIELD
[0001] Disclosed herein are methods of treating bipolar disorder in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a combination of a muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor agonist and a selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of alpha-amino-3- hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMP A) receptor. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination of a muscarinic acetylcholine M4 receptor agonist and a selective positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of alpha-amino-3- hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMP A) receptor and methods of using such combinations for the treatment of bipolar disorder.BACKGROUND
[0002] Bipolar disorder is a serious condition characterized by significant episodes of mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and low mood (depression). People with bipolar disorder may also experience cycling which are alternating periods of mania and depression with periods of normal mood in between. Manic episodes involve elevated or extremely irritable mood, increased energy, or reduced need for sleep. During manic episodes, people often exhibit high risk behavior or poor decision-making. Hypomanic episodes are less intense manic episodes lasting for a shorter period of time. Depressive episodes are characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest in activities, poor sleep, or low energy. Bipolar disorder can significantly affect a person's daily functioning, relationships, and overall quality of life.
[0003] Two types of bipolar disorder, bipolar I and bipolar II, are defined by the severity of the high mood state. A third related type, cyclothymic disorder, is distinguished by the severity and duration of mood episodes. All three are typically lifelong conditions with the average age of onset in the mid-20’ s.
[0004] The main goals of treatment of bipolar disorder are to stabilize mood, prevent manic and depressive episodes, and improve overall functioning. Treatment may involve a combination of medications and psychotherapy. Medications used in the treatment of bipolar disorder include mood stabilizers (e.g., carbamazepine, lithium, valproic acid, etc.), typical and atypical antipsychotics for managing manic episodes (e.g., olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, etc.), antidepressants for treating depressive episodes (e.g., citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, etc.), and a combination of antidepressants and moodAttomey Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT stabilizers to prevent manic switches (i.e. a mood change from depression to mania), hypomania, or psychosis.
[0005] While antipsychotic medications improve the symptoms of mania or hypomania, they do not treat the symptoms of depressive episodes or prevent depressive episodes. When used as monotherapy for the treatment of bipolar disorder, antidepressant medications can cause switching or an increase in the frequency of mania.
[0006] There remains a need for new combination therapies to treat bipolar disorder by improving mania or hypomania, improving depressive episodes, stabilizing mood long term by preventing switching, or increasing the frequency of cycling.
[0007] Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) widely expressed both in the central nervous system (CNS) and the periphery. Depending on the muscarinic receptor subtype (M1-M5) and location, they mediate a variety of physiological functions. Individual subtypes differ in signaling profiles. Subtypes Ml, M3, and M5 preferentially activate the Gq / 11 class of G-proteins, while M2 and M4 preferentially activate inhibitory Gi / o G-proteins. The flexible G-protein interface of muscarinic receptors allows them to interact with several types of G-proteins with varying efficacy, potency, and kinetics. Moreover, muscarinic receptors can also couple to G-proteins from other classes.
[0008] Disruption of muscarinic signaling often contributes to pathologies in the CNS and periphery making muscarinic agonists potential tools for the treatment of a variety of pathologies. Importantly, selective modulation of individual subtypes of muscarinic receptors is necessary to avoid undesired side effects. Many muscarinic agonists targeting diseases of the CNS have failed in clinical trials mainly due to gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse effects attributed to the activation of peripheral M2 and M3 receptors.
[0009] Compounds that exhibit selectivity for the M4 receptor relative to the M2 and M3 receptor subtypes have been reported in WO 2024 / 028458, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. WO 2024 / 028458 discloses compounds which are useful in the treatment of muscarinic receptor mediated diseases such as schizophrenia.
[0010] Alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (“AMP A”) receptors are ubiquitously expressed throughout the central nervous system (“CNS”) and play a central role in a multitude of higher neurophysiological processes. Compounds that are selective positive allosteric modulators (PAM) of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid (AMP A) receptors are disclosed in, for example, W02012 / 020848, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 9-[4-(Cyclohexyloxy)phenyl]-7-methyl-3,4-Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355.

The following examples are presented only by way of illustration and to assist one of ordinary skill in using the disclosure. The examples are not intended in any way to otherwise limit the scope of the disclosure.EXAMPLESCompound AExample 1: Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Inpatient Study Designed to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of czs-Compound A
[0267] This was a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, inpatient study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of cv.s-Compound A compared with placebo in adult subjects with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia, who were experiencing an acute exacerbation or relapse of symptoms (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale [PANSS] total score >80). The study included a Screening Period (washout duration of at least 5 half-lives of any antipsychotic and / or prohibited medications, a 6-week randomized Double-Blind Treatment Period, and a 2-week post-treatment Safety Follow-Up Period.
[0268] Approximately 213 subjects, 18 to 55 years of age (inclusive), were enrolled for study participation. Subjects were initially randomized 1 : 1 : 1 to receive placebo, cis- Compound A 20 mg, or 40 mg capsules once a day (QD) in a 6-week Double-BlindAttorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCTTreatment Period. Doses of 60 mg QD or 20 mg twice a day (BID), and 30 mg BID were also evaluated based on the results of 2 planned interim analyses. If any dose group was added or dropped based on the results of the interim analyses, then the randomization ratio and total number of subjects per group were adjusted to maintain an approximate 1 :2 randomization ratio for placebo to active treatment throughout the study.
[0269] Any antipsychotic and / or prohibited medications were washed out prior to randomization. Subjects who routinely take long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotic medications did not receive a dose of medication for at least 1.5 injection cycles prior to screening. Eligible subjects were housed in an inpatient study center for up to 10 weeks to monitor the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and PK of cv.s-Compound A.
[0270] Adverse events (AEs) were assessed throughout the study, and changes in vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) and electrocardiograms (ECGs) were monitored. Dose tolerability was assessed throughout the 6-week Double-Blind Treatment Period and a 2- week post-treatment Safety Follow-Up Period was conducted after the final dose of study treatment.
[0271] The end of study was the last scheduled visit assessment or procedure of the last subject in the study globally.Screening Period
[0272] Subjects were admitted into the inpatient facility at the time of screening. The Screening Period was a washout duration of at least 5 half-lives of any antipsychotic and / or prohibited medications, and subjects were randomized as soon as confirmed to meet all eligibility criteria. Subjects and informants provided written informed consent. Subjects met the criteria for a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) (American Psychiatric Association, 2022) and confirmed by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) for Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorder Studies, Version 7.0.2.
[0273] Subjects were required to washout any antipsychotic and / or prohibited medications for a duration of at least 5 half-lives of those medications in use prior to Day-1. Subjects who routinely took LAI antipsychotic medications must not have received a dose of medication for at least 1.5 injection cycles prior to screening. During screening and prior to randomization, subjects who took antipsychotics and / or other prohibited medications discontinued these medication(s) in a manner that was consistent with labeling recommendations and conventional medical practices.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCTDouble-Blind Treatment Period
[0274] Subjects were initially randomized in a 1 : 1 : 1 ratio to receive placebo, cv.s-Compound A 20 mg QD, or 40 mg QD for 6 weeks. Subjects were randomized via an interactive web response system (IWRS). In addition, dose group(s) of 60 mg QD or 20 mg BID, and 30 mg BID were added based on the results of interim analyses.
[0275] This was a fixed-dose titration study. Each subject in the 40 or 60 mg QD dose groups showed signs that cv.s-Compound A was tolerated before titrating to a higher dose on Day 8. Those subjects meeting titration hold criteria remained on their current dose until tolerability was established (i.e., no longer meeting titration hold criteria). If tolerability to the assigned higher dose was not achieved by Day 14, the subject continued on the current dose for the remainder of the study.
[0276] Subjects were dosed as follows:• 20 mg QD dose group: Subjects received 20 mg QD for 6 weeks.• 40 mg QD dose group:■ Days 1 to 7: Subjects received 20 mg QD.■ Days 8 to 42: Subjects received 40 mg QD. Subjects had to have demonstrated tolerability before titrating to this higher dose.• 60 mg QD dose group:■ Days 1 to 7: Subjects received 40 mg QD.■ Days 8 to 42: Subjects received 60 mg QD. Subjects had to have demonstrated tolerability before titrating to this higher dose.• 20 mg BID dose group: Subjects received 20 mg BID for 6 weeks.• 30 mg BID dose group: Subjects received 30 mg BID for 6 weeks.Titration Hold Criteria
[0277] Subjects were held at the current dose (titration dose) if any titration hold criteria were met at any point on the previous dosing day or on the current dosing day prior to the evening dose:• Subj ect’ s dose was reduced• Supine or standing heart rate >110 bpm continuously for >2 hours and <5 hours• Supine or standing systolic blood pressure (SBP) <95 mmHg (<90 mmHg if baseline SBP was <110 mmHg); the baseline assessment was the supine or standing value (whichever SBP measurement was lower) recorded 30 minutes (±10 minutes) predose on Day 1Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT• Supine or standing SBP of >175 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of >110 mmHg continuously for >12 hours• Average QT interval corrected according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) of 3 ECGs, recorded approximately 1 minute apart, >450 msec (male subjects) or >470 msec (female subjects)• Inability to stand due to reported AEs (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness)• Unable to tolerate a higher dose of study treatment in the opinion of the investigator and after discussion with the study Medical Monitor (or designee) at any time during the fixed-dose titration period (Day 1 to Day 14)
[0278] Titration hold criteria were assessed based on the average value of triplicate vital signs or ECG readings. Subjects with elevated supine or standing heart rate (>110 bpm) had subsequent measurements obtained at least every hour (+10 minutes) until heart rate is <110 bpm. Similarly, if a subject met any other vital sign-related titration hold criterion, this vital sign measurement was repeated at least hourly (+10 minutes) until it was outside of the hold criterion thresholds. Hourly follow-up measurements were performed, at a minimum, in the same position (e.g., supine or standing) as the assessment that initially met titration hold criteria. If hourly follow-up measurements coincided with planned protocol-specified timed vital signs measurements, measurements were collected in both the protocol-specified position(s) and the position in which the abnormal vital sign was previously measured. Interventions were used for elevated heart rate or low blood pressure if a subject was symptomatic and / or in distress, but interventions were not used based on the value of measurements alone. Tolerability was assessed based on cardiovascular parameters, investigator judgement, and / or consultation with the study Medical Monitor (or designee). Treatment was discontinued if there were signs that study treatment is not well tolerated.Dose Reductions During the Double-Blind Treatment Period
[0279] A dose decrease was made once during the first 2 weeks of study treatment in all dose groups if a subject experienced a supine or standing heart rate >110 bpm continuously for >5 hours postdose. Other tolerability concerns, in the opinion of the investigator and after discussion with the study Medical Monitor (or designee), were warranted a dose decrease. Thus, subjects receiving 20 mg QD, 40 mg QD, 60 mg QD, 20 mg BID, or 30 mg BID decreased their daily dose to 10 mg QD, 20 mg QD, 40 mg QD, 10 mg BID, or 20 mg BID, respectively. Subjects who tolerated the lower dose were subsequently titrated back up to the higher dose by Day 14.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCTStudy Treatment Discontinuation Criteria
[0280] Subjects were discontinued from study treatment if they experienced any of the following specific effects postdose at any time during the Double-Blind Period:• Supine or standing heart rate >110 bpm for >5 hours on 2 separate dosing days at the same or subsequent lower dose. If the subject was beyond Day 14, no dose reduction was allowed after the first experience of heart rate >110 bpm for >5 hours. The subject was rechallenged with the same dose and discontinued from study treatment if they experienced a second episode.• Supine SBP was >200 mmHg and / or the DBP was >120 mmHg at any timepoint postdose after 15 minutes supine rest• Supine or standing SBP <95 mmHg (<90 mmHg if baseline SBP was <110 mmHg) postdose occurring on 3 different dosing days at the same or subsequent lower dose; the baseline assessment was the supine or standing value (whichever SBP measurement was lower) recorded 30 minutes (±10 minutes) predose on Day 1• Average QTcF of 3 ECGs, recorded approximately 1 minute apart, >500 msec or >60 msec over baseline• Inability to stand due to reported AEs (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness) postdose, occurring on 3 different dosing days at the same or subsequent lower dose• Treatment-emergent cardiovascular-related symptoms (e.g., dyspnea, fatigue, chest pain, syncope) that impaired a subject’s ability to complete normal daily activities on any single dosing day• Unable to tolerate study treatment in the opinion of the investigator and after discussion with the study Medical Monitor (or designee)
[0281] Study treatment discontinuation criteria were assessed based on the average value of triplicate vital signs or ECG readings.Interim Analyses
[0282] Two interim analyses were completed during this study. The first interim analysis assessed the safety and tolerability of cv.s-Compound A and was performed after 36 subjects (approximately 12 subjects in each dose group) had the opportunity to complete Week 4 assessments. The second interim analysis assessed the safety and tolerability (and PK, if available and requested) of cv.s-Compound A after approximately 60% of the planned subjects had the opportunity to complete Week 4 assessments. Depending on the results of each interim analysis, dose group(s) were added or dropped.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT
[0283] Interim Analysis 1 was used to assess the safety and tolerability of the 20 and 40 mg QD doses and to determine whether to add an additional dose group of 60 mg QD or to drop the 40 mg QD dose group and add a dose group at 20 mg BID. Either change to dose groups was decided following a review of unblinded safety data by a Data Review Committee (DRC).
[0284] The DRC considered the following criteria when determining to add or discontinue dose group(s):• DRC determination of a pattern of safety that precludes dose escalation• SAE that occurred in at least 1 subject who received cA-Compound A and which the DRC believed constitutes undue risk to subjects• Severe nonseri ous AEs in 2 or more subjects in the same cA-Compound A citrate monohydrate dose group, at an incidence rate greater than that observed in the placebo dose group, that the DRC believed constituted undue risk to subjects. The severe nonserious AEs did not have to be in the same Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) system organ class (SOC)• Discontinuation of study drug criteria were met for 3 or more subjects within the same cA-Compound A dose group• Three or more subjects did not reach their assigned dose due to meeting titration hold or dose reduction criteria during the first 2 weeks of dosing within the same cis- Compound A dose group
[0285] The DRC determined whether dose group(s) were added and / or dropped as follows:• If the 40 mg QD dose demonstrated adequate safety and tolerability, then a 60 mg QD dose group was added. New subjects were randomized in a 2: 1 : 1 :2 ratio to receive placebo, 20 mg, 40 mg, or 60 mg QD, respectively.• If the 40 mg QD dose group did NOT demonstrate adequate safety and tolerability, then the 40 mg dose group was dropped and a 20 mg BID dose group was added. New subjects were randomized in a 2: 1 :3 ratio to receive placebo, 20 mg QD, or 20 mg BID, respectively.
[0286] Interim Analysis 2 was conducted when approximately 60% of the planned subjects had the opportunity to complete the Week 4 assessments. This analysis was used to assess the safety and tolerability (and PK, if available and requested) from the dosing groups present after Interim Analysis 1, and to determine whether to add an additional dose group and / or to drop an existing dose group. Either change to dose groups was decided following a review of unblinded safety data by the DRC.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT
[0287] The DRC determined whether dose group(s) will be added and / or dropped as follows:• If the 60 mg QD dose group was added during Interim Analysis 1 :■ If the 60 mg QD dose demonstrated adequate safety and tolerability, then a 30 mg BID dose group was added. New subjects were randomized in a 4: 1 : 1 : 1 :5 ratio to receive placebo, 20 mg QD, 40 mg QD, 60 mg QD, or 30 mg BID.■ If the 60 mg QD dose did NOT demonstrate adequate safety and tolerability, then the 60 mg QD dose group was dropped and a 30 mg BID dose group was added. New subjects were randomized in a 4: 1 : 1 :6 ratio to receive placebo, 20 mg QD, 40 mg QD, or 30 mg BID.• If the 20 mg BID dose group was added during Interim Analysis 1 :■ If the 20 mg BID dose demonstrated adequate safety and tolerability, then a 30 mg BID dose group was added. New subjects were randomized in a 4: 1 : 1 :6 ratio to receive placebo, 20 mg QD, 20 mg BID, or 30 mg BID.■ If the 20 mg BID dose did NOT demonstrate adequate safety and tolerability, then the 20 mg BID dose group was dropped. New subjects were randomized in a 1 :2 ratio to receive placebo or 20 mg QD.Safety Follow-Up Period
[0288] After the last dose of study treatment, subjects who completed Day 42 assessments on study treatment entered the Safety Follow-Up Period and had a final follow-up assessment 14 days after the last dose. Subjects remained in the inpatient facility during this period. No antipsychotic medications were administered during this time.Study population:

WO 1. PCTDuration of study treatment and study participation
[0292] Subjects were required to remain in the inpatient unit for the duration of the study. The duration of study participation for each subject was up to 10 weeks as follows: a Screening Period (washout duration of at least 5 half-lives of any antipsychotic and / or prohibited medications), a 6-week randomized Double-Blind Treatment Period, and a 2-week post-treatment Safety Follow-Up Period.Investigational product, dosage, and mode of administration:
[0293] The doses, i.e., 20 mg QD and 40 mg QD, and if added, 60 mg QD or 20 mg BID, and 30 mg BID, were selected based on cumulative PK, safety, tolerability, and target engagement data.
[0294] cv.s-Compound A was supplied as capsule dosage forms of 10, 20, and 30 mg and placebo for oral administration with or without food for a total of 6 weeks. The active and placebo capsules were identical in both appearance and weight. Subjects were instructed to take 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the evening.Reference therapy, dose, and mode of administration:
[0295] Placebo was supplied as capsules identical in appearance to the investigational product. Subjects randomized to placebo were instructed to take 2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the evening.Endpoints
[0296] Primary endpoints included change from baseline in total PANSS score at Week 6.
[0297] Other endpoints included:• Change from baseline in CGI-S score at Week 6• Subject medication satisfaction from baseline to Week 6 as measured by the Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ)
[0298] Safety endpoints included the occurrence of AEs; observed and changes from baseline in clinical laboratory tests (hematology, chemistry, serum prolactin, and high- sensitivity cardiac troponin I), vital sign measurements (including orthostatic blood pressure and heart rate), weight, 12-lead ECG parameters; and scores from the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS), Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), Modified Simpson Angus Scale (mSAS), and Physician Withdrawal Checklist-20 (PWC-20).Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCTPharmacokinetics :
[0299] Plasma concentrations, and derived PK parameters (e.g., maximum plasma concentration [Cmax] and area under the plasma concentration versus time curve [AUC]) of cv.s-Compound A and metabolite were analyzed.Statistical Methods:
[0300] The primary endpoints were analyzed by comparing cv.s-Compound A and placebo over all assessed timepoints using estimates from a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) with baseline value as a covariate; treatment and visit as fixed factors; and treatment-by-visit and baseline-by-visit interactions. Subject were included as a random effect. The primary comparisons were the contrasts between each of the active treatment groups and placebo at Week 6, using a significance level of 0.05 (1 -sided) to compare each active treatment group with placebo. The Dunnett’s adjustment was used to control for the multiplicity resulting from the multiple pairwise comparisons.Data Analysis:
[0301] The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score and Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) were analyzed for the treatment and placebo groups.
[0302] FIG. 6 shows the mean (±SEM) Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score by study Visit (efficacy analysis set). The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) instrument has three sections with 7 items designed to evaluate positive symptoms (symptoms of the disease which manifest as the presence of traits), 7 items designed to evaluate negative symptoms (symptoms that manifest as the absence of traits), and 16 items that address general psychopathology. Each item is scored on a 7-point scale (l=absent, 2=minimal, 3=mild, 4=moderate, 5=moderate severe, 6=severe, 7=extreme). The PANSS total score is derived from the summation of the 30 item scores. Mean observed PANSS total scores are presented at each study week for the placebo and cv.s-Compound A (NBI-1117568) treatment groups. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Subjects included in the efficacy analysis set are all randomized subjects who took at least one dose of study treatment and have baseline and at least one post-baseline PANSS total score. Data up to three days after the occurrence of study treatment discontinuation are included in the analysis.

Least-squares (LS) mean PANSS total scores are presented at each study week for the placebo and cv.s-Compound A (NBI-1117568) treatment groups. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. The LS means are from a mixed-effect model for repeated measures, which includes treatment group, visit, and stage of randomization as fixed effects; treatment group-by-visit interaction; baseline PANSS total score as a covariate; and subject as a random effect. The stage of randomization included in the model as a fixed effect has 3 levels: Stage 1 corresponding to subjects randomized up to interim analysis 1, Stage 2 corresponding to subjects randomized between interim analyses 1 and 2, and Stage 3 corresponding to subjects randomized between interim analysis 2 and the final analysis. The cutoff dates for interim analyses 1 and 2 are 31Mar2023 and 20Dec2023, respectively. Subjects included in the efficacy analysis set are all randomized subjects who took at least one dose of treatment and have baseline and at least one post-baseline PANSS total score. Data up to three days after the occurrence of study treatment discontinuation are included in the analysis.
[0304] FIG. 8 shows the mean (±SEM) Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGLS) score by study visit (efficacy analysis set). The Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGL S) was used to assess the overall global severity of schizophrenia on a 7-point scale (l=normal, not ill at all; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill;5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients). Mean observed CGI-S scores are presented at each study week for the placebo and cv.s-Compound A (NBI- 1117568) treatment groups. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Subjects included in the efficacy analysis set are all randomized subjects who took at least one dose of study treatment and have baseline and at least one post-baseline PANSS total score. Data up to three days after the occurrence of study treatment discontinuation are included in the analysis.
[0305] Somnolence was reported in 10.7% of the subjects administered cv.s-Compound A citrate monohydrate across all doses vs 2.9% in subjects administered placebo (Table 1).Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCTTable 1Example 2: Plasma PK parameters of c / s-Compound A
[0306] Plasma PK parameters of cz.s-Compound A were evaluated following a single dose of the oral solution (HC1) formulation to subjects in the fasted state, the oral capsule (citrate monohydrate) to subjects in the fasted state, and the oral capsule to subjects after a high-fat meal (fed).
[0307] The rBA of cz.s-Compound A was similar following a single dose of the oral capsule (citrate monohydrate) or oral solution (HC1) formulations to subjects in a fasted state, with geometric LS mean ratios of 1.05, 1.06, and 1.05 for AUC0-24, AUCo-inf, and Cmax, respectively (90% CI for all geometric mean ratios within 80% to 125%). Compared with the oral solution, dosing with a capsule under fasting conditions was associated with a 0.5-hour delay in median tmax, with minimal impact on other exposure parameters.
[0308] With the exception of median tmax, which was delayed by a median of 1.5 (90% CI, 0.5 to 2) hours in subjects after a high-fat meal compared with those in the fasted state, plasma PK parameters were generally similar between fed and fasted subjects after a single dose of cz.s-Compound A 10 mg (capsule) with geometric LS mean ratios for AUC0-24, AUCo- inf, and Cmax of 1.14, 1.14, and 0.98, respectively.
[0309] Regardless of dose formulation or administration to subjects in the fed versus fasted states, a relatively small proportion (7.7% to 10.5%) of the cz.s-Compound A 10 mg dose was excreted unchanged in urine over 72 hours, with mean CLR ranging from 6.18 to 6.78 L / h.Plasma and Urine Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Metabolite Compound Al
[0310] After administration of a 10 mg dose, Compound Al appears to form rapidly in the plasma, with mean tmax values of 0.7 and 0.9 hours after administration of the oral solution and capsule formulations to fasted subjects, respectively, and 2.9 hours after capsule administration to fed subjects. (FIG. 9) Mean plasma Compound Al Cmax was slightly higher in fasted subjects (range, 10.4 to 10.6 ng / mL) than in fed subjects (6.4 ng / mL); the meanAttorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT molar ratio of Compound B to parent compound in plasma for Cmax ranged from 0.5 to 0.9. Compound B had a t’A >24 ranging from 45.8 to 57.4 hours. Mean AUC0-24 was similar across formulations and was not affected by food (range 57.2 to 58.6 hxng / mL).
[0311] Approximately 20% (range, 19.1% to 20.7%) (corrected in equimolar terms) of the cA-Compound A 10 mg dose was excreted as Compound Al in urine over 72 hours, with mean CLR ranging from 14.1 to 15.1 L / h.
[0312] Compound Al and Compound A2 were the predominant human circulating metabolites representing an estimated 11.4% and 2.3% of drug-related components, respectively. There are no significant pharmacological effects of the primary circulating metabolite Compound Al.Example 3: Plasma PK After a Single Dose of cA-Compound A as an Oral Solution
[0313] Plasma PK after a single dose of cA-Compound A as an oral solution was evaluated in men 18 to 55 years of age (Part la) and men and women >65 years of age (Part 1c).
[0314] After a single dose of 0.5 mg cA-Compound A, plasma concentrations were below the limit of quantification (BLQ) at all timepoints. After single doses of cA-Compound A 4.5 to 80 mg, plasma concentrations increased rapidly, with median time to maximum plasma concentration (tmax) of 0.5 to 2.0 hours across the 4.5 to 80 mg dose range, with no notable lag time in the detection of cA-Compound A in plasma. cA-Compound A elimination from plasma was biphasic in many subjects, with an inflection point between 12 to 24 hours postdose.
[0315] A summary of PK data for the remaining doses in Part 1 is provided in FIG. 4. Mean AUC and Cmax values increased with increasing dose. Using 40 mg as a reference dose and accepting a 0.5- to 2-fold variability as normal at any given dose, AUC0-24 increased dose- proportionally between 10 and 60 mg, while Cmax increased dose-proportionally between 20 and 80 mg. Plasma PK parameters were generally similar between subjects 18 to 55 years of age (Part la) and those >65 years of age (Part 1c).
[0316] In Part lb, plasma PK were also evaluated in a pilot food-effect assessment in which male subjects 18 to 55 years of age received a single dose of 20 mg cA-Compound A after a high calorie meal or in the fasted state. Mean postdose area under the plasma concentrationtime curve from 0 hours to infinity (AUCo-inf) was approximately 1.3-fold higher in subjects in the fed state than in those in the fasted state and, conversely, the mean Cmax was approximately 1.2-fold higher (31.2 ng / mL) in the fasted state compared with the fed state.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT
[0317] In Part 2, cA-Compound A plasma concentrations increased rapidly after repeated doses (5 mg BID or 8 to 20 mg QD) for 7 days. Median tmax was 0.5 to 1.5 hours across the dose range.
[0318] A summary of PK data for Part 2 is provided in FIG. 5. At comparable dose levels, the PK parameters obtained on Day 1 of repeated dosing in Part 2 were similar to those obtained after single doses in Part 1 (FIG. 4). After repeated dosing, the plasma PK parameters were generally comparable between subjects 18 to 55 years of age (Part 2a) and those >65 years of age (Part 2b).
[0319] Across Parts 2a and 2b, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve over the dosing interval (AUCQ and Cmax values for cA-Compound A were dose-proportional over the 5 to 20 mg dose range after repeated dosing to steady state. CL / F appeared to be independent of dose with little variation in values for cA-Compound A orally administered at 5 mg BID, 10 mg QD, or 20 mg QD or 5 mg QD, ranging from 19.0 to 36.1 L / h. cA-Compound A elimination from plasma following repeat dosing was biphasic in many subjects, similar to that observed following single doses.
[0320] There was little accumulation of plasma cA-Compound A from the first to the last dose after repeated QD dosing; mean accumulation ratios of AUCh and Cmax were 1.07 to 1.57 in subjects 18 to 55 years of age (Part 2a) and 1.36 to 1.46 in subjects >65 years of age (Part 2b). Mean accumulation ratios after 5 mg BID dosing were slightly higher (2.31 to 2.34), consistent with the shorter dosing interval of 12 hours within that group.
[0321] Mean trough plasma concentrations indicated that steady state was achieved after 2 to 3 days of repeated dosing (i.e., by about Day 3 or 4).
[0322] Renal clearance was generally similar across the dose range and populations investigated. After repeated dosing in Part 2, CLR,24 was generally similar among subjects 18 to 55 years of age (Part 2a; 4.97 L / h to 7.10 L / h over 5 mg BID to 20 mg QD) and subjects >65 years of age (Part 2b; 5.43 L / h to 8.26 L / h over 8 to 15 mg QD).Example 4: cA-Compound A Capsule Dosage Forms

A separate exemplary manufacturing process flow diagram for cv.s-Compound A citrate monohydrate capsules, 20 mg and 30 mg, is provided in FIG. 2. The differences are the initial coating of bin blender with microcrystalline cellulose, order of addition, and stepwise blending to further improve homogenous distribution of cv.s-Compound A citrate monohydrate drug substance in the blend for 20 mg and 30 mg strengths.
[0325] The manufacture of cv.s-Compound A citrate monohydrate capsules, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg used a standard dry granulation manufacturing process followed by capsule filling. For 10 mg capsule manufacture, cv.s-Compound A citrate monohydrate drug substance was mixed with the excipients to prepare a homogenous blend in three stages: the first two stages to produce a homogenous blend followed by a third, shorter lubrication blended with magnesium stearate. For 20 mg and 30 mg capsule manufacture, approximately half of the screened microcrystalline cellulose was charged to the bin blender and tumbled to coat the interior product contact surface. Screened components cv.s-Compound A citrate monohydrate, remaining microcrystalline cellulose, and dibasic calcium phosphate were charged to the bin blender and mixed, then de-lumped by passing through a screening mill, and mixed again. Screened components hypromellose and croscarmellose sodium were charged to the bin blender and mixed. Lastly, screened magnesium stearate was charged to the bin blender and mixed to prepare a lubricated homogenous blend ahead of roller compaction.
[0326] The blend was then processed through a roller compactor to produce compacted ribbons. These ribbons were then sized through a screening mill to yield granules suitable for filling directly into a Size 3 Swedish orange hard gelatin capsule shells using either a manual PROFILL® capsule filling system (as was performed for the 10 mg product) or a fully automated encapsulation machine (as was performed for the 20 and 30 mg products). The filled capsules were then passed through deduster / metal detector and weight sorter.Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT
[0327] Another exemplary manufacturing process flow diagram for cv.s-Compound A citrate monohydrate capsules, 10 mg and 20 mg, described in Tables 2A and 3A, is provided in FIG. 3. The process flow diagram in FIG. 3 differs from that in FIG. 2 in that the magnesium stearate lubricant is added in two stages. In the first stage, about half of the magnesium stearate is screened and charged to the bin blender and mixed to prepare a lubricated homogenous blend ahead of roller compaction. In the second stage, the remaining magnesium stearate is screened and mixed with the sized granules that are produced by the roller compactor with inline milling. The lubricated granules have improved properties for rapid capsule filling in a dosator-based encapsulation. Additionally, pre-blending was optimized by removing redundant blending step post delumping.Compound BExample 5: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Study of Escalating Single and Multiple Doses of Compound B in Healthy Subjects1.0. Study Design and Plan
[0328] This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, combined single-rising dose (SRD) and multiple-rising dose (MRD), Phase 1 clinical study in healthy adult male and female subjects, aged 18 to 55 years, inclusive. The study was designed to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of Compound B. A total of 88 subjects were enrolled in 6 SRD and 5 SRD / MRD cohorts (n=8 per cohort). The study was composed of 2 parts. A schematic of the study design for Part 1 of the study is provided in FIG. 10A. A schematic of the study design for Part 2 of the study is provided in FIG. 10B.
[0329] In Part 1 of the study (SRD cohorts), a single oral tablet dose of Compound B (0.3, 1, 3, 5, 9, or 18 mg) or matching placebo was administered on Day 1 followed by safety, tolerability, PK, and PD assessments. In each SRD cohort of 8 subjects (6 active: 2 placebo), sentinel dosing was used whereby 2 initial subjects (1 active: 1 placebo) were administered study drug to evaluate safety and tolerability before dosing in the remaining subjects (5 active: 1 placebo) after an interval of at least 24 hours. Dosing in the remaining 6 subjects from each cohort was staggered such that only 3 subjects were dosed in 1 day, with the last 3 subjects being dosed after an additional 24-hour interval. The data from each cohort were reviewed sequentially to ensure adequate safety and tolerability before administering the next dose level. Study drug was administered after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours. Subjects were confined in the study unit for 5 days, from Check-in on Day -1 until approximately 96Attorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT hours after dosing. Subjects in Cohorts 1 to 5 (0.3-9 mg) returned to the clinic on Days 6 and 7 and subjects in Cohort 6 (18 mg) returned on Days 6, 7 and 8 for additional PK blood sample collections. To allow for a preliminary assessment of the effect of food on the PK of Compound B, subjects in SRD Cohort 3 (3 mg) returned to the clinic to receive study drug under fed conditions (standard high -fat meal, as defined by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)), after the safety and tolerability of the higher dose (5 mg) under fasted conditions had been established.
[0330] In Part 2 of the study (SRD / MRD cohorts), a single oral tablet dose of Compound B (0.3, 1, 3, 6, or 9 mg) or matching placebo was administered on Day 1 followed by safety, tolerability, PK, and PD assessments. Study drug (at the same dose level) was then administered once daily (QD) for 13 days, on Days 6 through 18. Each cohort of 8 subjects (6 active: 2 placebo) were administered study drug sequentially to ensure adequate safety and tolerability before administering the next dose level. Neither sentinel nor staggered dosing was used for the SRD / MRD cohorts. Subjects were confined in the study unit for 21 days, from Check-in on Day -1 until 72 hours after the last dose of study drug.
[0331] For all cohorts in Parts 1 and 2, serial PK blood samples were collected pre- and post-dose on Day 1 to measure plasma concentrations of Compound B and its metabolites. For all SRD / MRD cohorts in Part 2, urine samples were collected pre- and post-dose on Day 1 and post-dose on Day 18 to measure concentrations of Compound B and its metabolites.
[0332] In both parts of the study, follow-up occurred approximately 14 days after the last dose of study drug to monitor adverse events (AEs) and concomitant medication use. End of study (study completion date) was based on the final data collection date for the entire study, which was the follow-up phone call / visit.2.0. Evaluations2.0.1. Data Sets Analyzed
[0333] For Part 1 of the study, all 36 subjects who received Compound B were included in the PK set. For Part 2 of the study, all 30 subjects who received Compound B were included in the PK set.2.0.2. Part 1 (SRD Cohorts): Compound B Plasma PK

[0335] Referring to Table 5, after single oral administration of Compound B (0.3, 1, 3, 5, 9, and 18 mg) to healthy subjects, mean plasma Compound B concentrations rapidly increased, with median tmax values ranging between 1.25 and 5.5 hours. Thereafter, mean concentrations decreased in a monoexponential manner. The shapes of the concentration-time profiles were similar for each dose level, and the mean Compound B concentration increased in a dosedependent manner.

[0339] Referring now to FIG. 12, mean plasma concentration-time profiles (linear and semilog scales) of Compound B were determined on Day 18 following oral administration of Compound B QD for 13 days.
[0340] After oral administration of Compound B QD (0.3, 1, 3, 6, and 9 mg) to healthy subjects, the Compound B concentration at pre-dose approached the maximum on Day 14 for each dose level, and Compound B exposure appeared to reach steady-state on Day 18. Mean Compound B concentrations increased in a dose-dependent manner. Median tmax for Compound B was between 2.5 to 4 hours over the dose range.

This was a virtual study visit unless any of the Day 56 safety / tolerability assessments yielded abnormal clinically significant results, in which case the subject completed the visit onsite to have additional follow-up assessments (which possibly included additional laboratory testing) performed as appropriate. After completion of the follow up visit, subjects returned to standard of care treatment under the oversight of their psychiatrist / physician.cIf a virtual visit was unfeasible for the subject, then the visit was conducted onsite.dIf pharmacogenomics testing is not permitted according to local, national, or regional laws or regulations, then the pharmacogenomic informed consent was not completed.eIn countries where subject registry database(s) are available and contractually / legally available to the participating study site, the subject registry database review was performed as early as possible at the Screening Visit to avoid unnecessary procedures.

The Day 1 study treatment was administered after all of the baseline assessments were completed. Blood samples were collected predose (within 15 minutes before doing) and 2 to 12 hours postdose on Day 28 and predose (within 15 minutes before dosing) on Day 56.

The baseline qEEG assessment was performed the day before the first dose of study treatment was administered (Day 1). Otherwise, this assessment was performed after all efficacy assessments had been completed for the relevant study visit.uA compliance check was performed by counting the tablets returned.
[0349] Randomization into treatment groups was stratified based on region (North America vs. ex-North America), use of concomitant antidepressant medication at the time of randomization (yes vs. no), and stability of depression symptoms prior to randomization (yes vs. no). Stabilization of depression symptoms was defined by:• The subj ecf s HAM-D 17 scores recorded from Visit 1 through Visit 2 were within 80% to 120% of the mean of the three scores (assessment collected at Visit 1, during the Screening Period, and at Visit 2), and the subj ect had a HAM-D 17 score >22 at baseline.
[0350] The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in total MADRS score at Day 28. Secondary endpoints included: (i) change in baseline in total MADRS score at Day 7, Day 14, and Day 56; (ii) change from baseline in CGI-S score at Day 28 and Day 56; (iii) response, defined as >50% decrease in MADRS from baseline, at Day 28 and Day 56; (iv) remission, defined as MADRS <10, at Day 28 and Day 56; and (v) change from baseline in PHQ-9 at Day 28 and Day 56.
[0351] Other endpoints included the change from baseline in the patient’s CGI-I score at Day 28 and Day 56, and the change from baseline in the EQ-5D-5L VAS score at Day 28 and Day 56. Pharmacokinetic endpoints included the plasma concentration of Compound B, as well as appropriate metabolites.
[0352] Safety endpoints included treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE); values and changes from baseline for clinical laboratory tests (hematology and clinical chemistry); values and changes from baseline for vital sign parameters; values and changes from baseline for quantitative electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters; and suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior as measured by the C-SSRS.
[0353] Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used to evaluate and summarize data for the various endpoints. The term “descriptive statistics” refers to the number of subjects (n), mean, median, standard deviation (SD) or standard error (SE), minimum, and maximum for continuous. Ordinal categorical data was summarized using median, minimum and maximum values. Number and percentage of subjects were summarized for categorical variables.

WO 1. PCT the placebo group for selected efficacy variables. All hypothesis tests were tests of the null hypothesis of no difference between the groups being compared versus the two-sided alternative hypothesis that there is a difference. P-values were reported as one-sided and were assessed at the a=0.1 significance level.
[0354] The following analysis sets were defined for this study:• The Safety Analysis Set included all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of the study treatment. Subjects were analyzed according to their randomized treatment group, unless they received the incorrect study treatment for the entire treatment duration.• The Efficacy Analysis Set (EAS) included all randomized subjects who demonstrated stable depression symptoms prior to randomization and received at least 1 dose of the study treatment during the Treatment Period. Subjects were analyzed according to their randomized treatment group, regardless of compliance with study treatment administration.• The Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all randomized subjects.• The PK analysis set included all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study treatment and who had any measurable Compound B plasma concentration data.
[0355] For efficacy analysis purpose, the assessments collected on the day of first study drug administration served as the baseline value. For safety analysis purpose, the last assessments collected prior to the first study drug served as the baseline value. For electrocardiogram (ECG), the baseline was defined as the mean of the last recorded triplicate before the first study drug.

[0357] The change in total MADRS score at Day 28 is shown in Table 9A (FAS) and Table 9B (EAS) for the different study groups. Study subjects receiving either the 1 mg or 3 mg dose of Compound B exhibited increased mean total MADRS scores at Day 28 relative to placebo, and a statistically significant increase (p=0.0235) increase in total MADRS score was measured in subjects receiving the 1 mg dose of Compound B relative to placebo. The 1 mg dose of Compound B demonstrated a least squares (LS) mean difference of -4.3 (p=0.0159) and -7.5 (p=0.0016) at Day 28 and Day 56, respectively, and the 3 mg dose ofAttorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355.

The 1 mg dose of Compound B demonstrated an effect size of 0.53 and 0.73 at Day 28 and Day 56, respectively. The 3 mg dose of Compound B demonstrated an effect size of 0.39 and 0.33 at Day 28 and Day 56, respectively. FIG. 14A shows the change in total MADRS score from baseline in the EAS at Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 42, Day 56, and the Safety Follow-up visit, and FIG. 14B shows the change in total MADRS score from baseline in the FAS. Table 9C depicts the change in Total MADRS Score from baseline at Day 7, Day 14, and Day 56 in the EAS. In the FAS, at Day 7, Day 14, Day 42, and Day 56, the trend continued with study subjects receiving either 1 mg or 3 mg doses of Compound B exhibiting greater changed from baseline in total MADRS score relative to placebo. Notably, the 1 mg dose of Compound B group exhibited a statistically significant change from baseline relative to placebo at Day 56 (p=0.0095). In contrast, the 3 mg dose of Compound B group failed to exhibit a statistically significant change from baseline relative to placebo at Day 56. Thus, in this clinical trial, the lower 1 mg dose surprisingly proved more efficacious than the higher 3 mg dose. FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B further demonstrate that the change in total MADRS score from baseline was also maintained at the two-week safety follow-up visit.Table 9A.

[0358] At baseline, between 50-70% of subjects in all three study groups scored as being markedly ill, with only one subject in the placebo group scoring as mildly ill, and the rest of the subject scoring as either moderately ill or severely ill (Table 10). At Day 28 and Day 56, the overall percentage of subjects scoring as markedly ill all three cohorts was decreased relative to baseline.Table 10.

[0359] The safety analysis of Compound B demonstrated that Compound B did not result in any more TEAE relative to the placebo group, and that the majority of TEAE were mild or moderate in severity (Table 11A). Only five TEAEs led to study discontinuation — threeAttorney Docket No. 46696-0229WO1 / NBI 355. WO 1. PCT subjects in the placebo group, and two subjects in the 3 mg Compound B group. The most common TEAE was headache (Table 11B) This level of TEAE is extremely low as a side effect compared with earlier antidepressant therapies. The low incidence of TEAE and the complete lack of serious TEAE was surprising and unexpected in comparison with earlier antidepressant therapies. In particular, no patient had psychotomimetic or dissociative events throughout the study. Because of the difficulties inherent in CNS / depression clinical trials, the excellent response rate combined with the limited adverse event profile, particularly compared to placebo, was unprecedented.Table 11 A.
