Mass balance study of [14C]-ABBV-552, a synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A positive modulator, in healthy male participants following single oral dose administration
摘要
Synaptic density is strongly correlated with cognitive function in many neurological disorders. All synapses contain synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 A (SV2A), making it a potential therapeutic target for neurodecline. ABBV-552, a high-affinity positive SV2A modulator, increases neurotransmitter release, improving synaptic efficiency. This Phase 1, open-label, mass balance study examined ABBV-552 safety, pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and elimination.
MethodsEight healthy males were orally administered 15 mg [14C]-ABBV-552. Safety was assessed via treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), vital sign, electrocardiogram, and laboratory value monitoring. Serial blood, urine, and fecal samples were collected pre-dose, Days 1–14, and daily until discharge. Sample radioactivity was measured with HPLC and metabolites characterized with mass spectrometry.
ResultsEight participants (30–49 years old) received 15 mg [14C]-ABBV-552 (~ 100 µCi) and were included in analyses (3 prematurely withdrew [personal reasons]). All TEAEs were Grade 1 in severity; euphoria (25.0%), dizziness (25.0%), and muscular weakness (12.5%) were deemed possibly-related to ABBV-552. No meaningful changes in laboratory values, vital signs, or ECGs were observed. Mean radioactive recovery was 78.8% (urine: 70.9%, feces: 7.83%), with < 1% parent drug in excreta. Parent and one metabolite (M2, mono-oxidized parent) accounted for 84% and 13%, respectively, of circulating drug-related material. M5, M9, and M33 were most prominent in urine (~ 13%, ~ 17%, ~ 11% of dose, respectively); M2/M36 (coeluted; 1.4% of dose) in feces.
ConclusionsOrally-administered ABBV-552 was well absorbed and primarily recovered in urine as metabolites. M2 was the only major circulating metabolite. Therefore, ABBV-552 is primarily hepatically metabolized and metabolites are renally eliminated. These findings support further investigation of ABBV-552 in neurodegenerative disorders.
