593. Population Pharmacokinetic Model Development for Epetraborole and Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) Lung Disease Patients Using Data from Phase 1 and 2 Studies

BACKGROUND: Epetraborole (EBO), an orally available bacterial leucyl transfer RNA synthetase inhibitor with potent activity against nontuberculous mycobacteria, is under clinical development for treatment of MAC lung disease. A population pharmacokinetic (PK) model describing the disposition of EBO after oral (PO) and intravenous (IV) administration was developed to support EBO PK-PD analyses and dose selection for patients with MAC lung disease. METHODS: Model development was conducted using NONMEM (v.7.4.3). Models were attempted for oral absorption, systemic compartments, and linear vs. non-linear elimination. Model evaluation involved goodness-of-fit plots and prediction-corrected visual predictive plots, which describe the ability of model-based simulations to capture the observed data. Included were data from 5 Phase 1 (3 IV and 2 PO) and 2 Phase 2 studies (IV only) (Table 1). [Figure: see text] RESULTS: The pooled dataset included 2637 EBO PK samples from 138 subjects/patients. A robust fit to observed data across studies was obtained using a three-compartment model with linear elimination (Table 2). The impact of body weight on PK was included using an allometric scaling approach to accommodate observed lower body weight in MAC lung disease patients. PO dosing was modeled using an absolute bioavailability term (F) and transit compartments with separate absorption rates for fed and fasted administration. Interindividual variability (IIV) in systemic clearance was low (7.9%), but IIV in F (32.7%) contributed to slightly higher variability in PK for PO vs. IV administration. Moderate shrinkage was observed for the IIV in the model parameters. This was considered acceptable given inclusion of patients with limited PK data in the model and the objective to facilitate simulations designed to inform dose selection. The prediction-corrected visual predictive check plots for the data obtained from a recently completed Phase 1b study evaluating 28-day oral dosing regimens (NCT04892641) are provided in Figure 1. [Figure: see text] [Figure: see text] CONCLUSION: This model is useful for describing expected PK in MAC lung disease patients and was used to conduct simulations for the advancement of the oral EBO 500 mg q24h dosing regimen into clinical studies in patients with MAC lung disease.
