Abstrakt: Objectives Fosmanogepix (APX001), a first-in-class, intravenous (IV) and oral (PO) antifungal prodrug, is being developed to treat invasive fungal diseases (IFDs). Manogepix (APX001A; active moiety) targets fungal glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell wall transfer protein 1, inhibiting cell wall synthesis causing loss of viability. This open-label, multicentre, Phase 1b study in patients with AML and neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count <500 cells/μL; >10 days) undergoing chemotherapy aimed to assess tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of IV and PO fosmanogepix. Methods Of 21 adult AML patients undergoing remission induction chemotherapy, 10 received IV fosmanogepix (600 mg; q24h) and 11 received oral fosmanogepix (500 mg; q24h) over 14 days, with a 28 day follow-up. Patients also received remission induction chemotherapy [sequential high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone (S-HAM) or 7 + 3 regimen] for AML and IFD prophylaxis (posaconazole). A two-compartmental PK model from previous studies in healthy volunteers was fitted to manogepix plasma data. Results Of 26 fosmanogepix-related adverse events (AEs; IV: 14; PO: 12) in 9 (42.9%) patients [IV: 5 (50%); PO: 4 (36.4%)], none were serious or resulted in fosmanogepix discontinuation. Most frequently occurring fosmanogepix-related AEs were Grade 1/2 nausea [four events in three patients (14.3%)]; vomiting, ALT increase, and delirium [two events; two patients (9.5%) each]. One patient experienced fosmanogepix-related Grade 3 hypertension. Dose-corrected geometric mean ratio of AUC (PO-to-IV) was 95%. Elimination half-lives (∼2 days) were consistent with prior studies in healthy volunteers. Conclusions Fosmanogepix was safe and well tolerated in AML patients with neutropenia receiving remission induction chemotherapy. Safety and PK profiles were comparable to healthy volunteers.
