PG - e00929 LID - 10.1002/prp2.929 [doi] LID - e00929 AB - Verinurad is a selective inhibitor of uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1). Here, we assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of verinurad + allopurinol and verinurad monotherapy in healthy participants. Studies 1 (NCT03836599) and 2 (NCT02608710) were randomized Phase 1 studies. In Study 1, 12 healthy Asian participants received 24 mg verinurad + 300 mg allopurinol or placebo, and 9 healthy Chinese participants received 12 mg verinurad + 300 mg allopurinol. In Study 2, 24 healthy non-Asian male participants received 12 mg verinurad. Safety analyses included assessment of adverse events (AEs). Pharmacokinetic parameters included maximum concentration (C(max) ) and area under plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) over 24 h (AUC(tau) ). Pharmacodynamic parameters included percentage change from baseline (day -1) in serum uric acid (sUA) and urinary uric acid (uUA). There were no serious AEs or deaths in either study. In Study 1, steady-state geometric mean (gCV%) C(max) and AUC(tau) values of verinurad after 7 days' dosing were 73.6 (29.0) ng/mL and 478 (18.4) ng.h/mL, respectively, in healthy Asian participants, and 42.0 (40.1) ng/mL and 264 (36.1) ng.h/mL, respectively, in healthy Chinese participants; in Study 2, gCV% values were 36.3 (36.5) ng/mL and 271 (31.0) ng.h/mL, respectively. sUA decreased and uUA excretion increased compared with baseline following verinurad + allopurinol (Study 1) or verinurad (Study 2). When accounting for dose, the steady-state pharmacokinetics of verinurad following multiple dosing were comparable between healthy Asian and Chinese participants and healthy non-Asian participants. Verinurad treatments were well tolerated, including at higher verinurad exposures than previously evaluated after repeated dosing. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors.
