Safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of nomlabofusp (CTI-1601) in Friedreich's ataxia

Clayton, R., Galas, T., Scherer, N., Farmer, J., Ruiz, N., Hamdani, M., Schecter, D. and Bettoun, D. (2024), Safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of nomlabofusp (CTI-1601) in Friedreich's ataxia. Ann Clin Transl Neurol. doi:10.1002/acn3.51971 

 Patients aged 19–69 years were enrolled (SAD, N = 28; MAD, N = 27). Nomlabofusp was generally well tolerated through 13 days. Most adverse events were mild and resolved quickly. No serious adverse events or deaths were reported. Peak nomlabofusp plasma concentrations occurred 15 min after subcutaneous administration. Nomlabofusp plasma exposures increased with increasing doses and daily administration and decreased with reduced dosing frequency. Increased frataxin concentrations were observed in buccal cells, skin, and platelets with higher and more frequent nomlabofusp administration.
