The effect of BI 409306 on heart rate in healthy volunteers: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study
PURPOSE: The potent, selective phosphodiesterase-9A inhibitor BI 409306 may be beneficial for patients with attenuated psychosis syndrome and could prevent relapse in patients with schizophrenia. Transient BI 409306-dependent increases in heart rate (HR) demonstrated previously necessitated cardiac...

Sumario: | PURPOSE: The potent, selective phosphodiesterase-9A inhibitor BI 409306 may be beneficial for patients with attenuated psychosis syndrome and could prevent relapse in patients with schizophrenia. Transient BI 409306-dependent increases in heart rate (HR) demonstrated previously necessitated cardiac safety characterisation. We evaluated cardiac effects of BI 409306 in healthy volunteers during rest and exercise. METHODS: In this double-blind, three-way crossover study, volunteers received placebo, BI 409306 50 mg or 200 mg in randomised order (same treatment on Days 1 [resting] and 3 [exercise]). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed twice post treatment on Day 3 of each period. BI 409306-mediated effects on placebo-corrected change from baseline in resting HR (ΔΔHR) were evaluated based on exposure–response analysis and a random coefficient model. Adverse events (AEs) were recorded. RESULTS: Overall, 19/20 volunteers completed. Resting ΔΔHR versus BI 409306 concentration yielded a slope of 0.0029 beats/min/nmol/L. At the geometric mean (gMean) maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) for BI 409306 50 and 200 mg, predicted mean (90% CI) ΔΔHRs were 0.80 (− 0.76, 2.36) and 5.46 (2.44, 8.49) beats/min, respectively. Maximum adjusted mean differences from placebo (90% CI) in resting HR for BI 409306 50 and 200 mg were 3.85 (0.73, 6.97) and 4.93 (1.69, 8.16) beats/min. Maximum differences from placebo in resting HR occurred at/near gMean C(max) and returned to baseline after approximately 4 h. The proportion of volunteers with AEs increased with BI 409306 dose. CONCLUSION: Observed hemodynamic effects following BI 409306 administration were of low amplitude, transient, and followed the pharmacokinetic profile of BI 409306. |
