Definitions
- the present invention relates generally, in one or more embodiments, to methods of administering vatiquinone for the treatment of mitochondrial diseases and other disorders characterized by high levels of oxidative stress and dysregulation of energy metabolism.
- Vatiquinone, or alpha-tocotrienol quinone also known as 2[(3R,6E,10E)-3-hydroxy- 3,7, 11 , 15-tetramethylhexadeca-6, 10, 14-trien-l -yl]-3, 5, 6-trimethylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-l ,4- dione, is the quinone oxidation product of alpha-tocotrienol, one of the eight naturally occurring forms of vitamin E, and is a member of the parabenzoquinone class of drugs.
- the chemical structure of vatiquinone is shown below:
- Vatiquinone is a potent inhibitor that prevents ferroptotic cell death by inhibiting 15- lipoxygenase (15-LO), a key enzyme in the ferroptosis pathway, and alleviates oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, thereby preventing neuronal dysfunction and cell death that underpins the development of mitochondrial disease.
- the oxidoreductase enzyme, 15-LO controls the process of inflammation, oxidative stress, glutathione (GSH) depletion, and a type of cell death involving lipid peroxidation known as ferroptosis.
- 15- LO The activity of 15- LO is particularly enhanced in patients with mitochondrial diseases and other disorders characterized by high levels of oxidative stress, which ultimately leads to depletion of endogenous antioxidants such as GSH (Riederer et al. J Neurochem. 1989;52(2):515-520 and Piemonte et al. Eur J Clin Invest. 2001 ;31(11):1007-1011).
- vatiquinone has been found to increase GSH levels and decrease the ratio of oxidized GSH to reduced GSH (OX/GSH), correlating with clinical improvement in disease symptoms, and arrest or reversal of disease progression (Blankenberg et al. Mol Genet Metab. 2012;107(4):690-699 and Pastore et al. Mol Genet Metab. 2013;109(2):208- 214).
- the critical role of 15-LO as a key enzyme in the biological process of ferroptosis has been implicated in a number of central nervous system (CNS) diseases, e.g. Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease (Joshi et al. Trends Pharmacol Sci. 2015;36(3): 181 -186 and Guiney et al. Neurochem Int. 2017; 104:34-48).
- CNS central nervous system
- vatiquinone has been studied in children and adults with mitochondrial diseases and other disorders characterized by high levels of oxidative stress such as Leigh’s syndrome and Friedreich’s ataxia. Vatiquinone crosses the blood-brain barrier and promotes its pharmacological activities by targeting oxidoreductases that are critical to energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation. As of December 2021, 621 subjects and patients have received vatiquinone, with the longest treatment duration over 10 years. Data from these studies demonstrate a reduction of seizure and disease-related morbidity in patients with mitochondrial disease-associated seizures and a long-term improvement in neurological and neuromuscular function in patients with Friedreich ataxia. Clinical safety data suggest that vatiquinone is well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities reported (Zesiewicz et al. Neurodegener Dis Manag. 2018;8(4):233-242).
- vatiquinone an oxidation product of vitamin E
- vatiquinone is expected to follow the lipid absorption pathway of vitamin E derivatives, wherein food, especially fat, increases bile flow, which then aids the emulsification of the lipid (and vatiquinone) to form micelles, facilitating absorption through the enterocyte into the lymphatic system.
- vatiquinone treatments have now been identified for vatiquinone treatments. Described herein are clinical trials that reveal that the administration of vatiquinone with food unexpectedly increases the bioavailability of the drug, indicating a positive food effect.
- the administration of vatiquinone with either a low fat meal or a liquid meal beverage significantly improves the plasma maximum concentration (Cmax) and the extent of absorption (AUC) of vatiquinone in the subject when compared to administration without food, thereby improving the efficacy of the treatment.
- Cmax plasma maximum concentration
- AUC extent of absorption

- This study was an open-label, randomized, three-treatment, 3 -way crossover study that aimed to evaluate vatiquinone pharmacokinetics when administered as single dose of 300 mg (3 x 100 mg capsules) under fasted, fed with liquid food such as PediaSure®, and fed with a low-fat meal. Subjects received the assigned treatment at each visit according to the randomization scheme. A minimum of 7-day washout was included between treatments.
- Subjects in the fasted treatment group were required to fast for at least 10 hours prior to dosing.
- Subjects in the low-fat treatment group ingested their meals within a 30-minute period followed by study medication which was taken with 240 mL of water within 15 minutes after completion of the full meal.
- Subjects in the PediaSure® treatment group ingested the liquid meals at the same time as dosing. All subjects fasted for 4 hours after receiving their dose of study medication. Water restriction was implemented one hour before and one hour after dosing.
- Vatiquinone PK parameters were computed with non-compartmental analysis (NCA) using Phoenix WinNonlin 5.2 or higher. PK parameters included Cmax; time to peak concentration (Tmax); apparent terminal elimination rate constant ( ⁇ z); apparent elimination half-life (tl/2); area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t (AUCO t), and from 0 to infinity (AUCO ⁇ ).
- a regression analysis was performed on the terminal linear phase of the semi-logarithmic plots of individual concentration-time data. During the analysis, regressions using the last 3 points with non-zero concentrations, then the last 4 points, and the last 5 points, and so forth, were repeated. Points prior to Cmax (including Cmax) were not used.
- a total of 4 mL of whole blood sample was collected via venipuncture into Vacutainer® tubes with K2-EDTA (BD product number 367861). Immediately after blood collection, the Vacutainer® blood collection tube was gently inverted 8 to 10 times to allow mixing with the anticoagulant. The blood samples were placed on ice during the processing. Each blood sample was centrifuged within 30 minutes of collection to separate the plasma.
- the safety set which included subjects who received study drug and had at least one safety assessment post-baseline, was employed in the analysis of tolerability and safety variables.
- Drug safety was evaluated by pre- and post-dose assessments including vital signs (blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate), ECGs, clinical laboratory values (chemistry, hematology, urinalysis), physical examinations, and monitoring of adverse events (incidence, severity, relationship).
- a follow-up visit occurred 7 days after the last clinic day.
- vatiquinone Following a single 300 mg dose, vatiquinone exhibited an absorption phase followed by multiphasic disposition phases regardless of meal status. Absorption appeared enhanced when vatiquinone was administered with meals, either low-fat meals or PediaSure®.
- Figs. 1 A and IB shows mean plasma vatiquinone concentrations following single 300 mg vatiquinone dose by treatment groups.
- a single dose of vatiquinone was safe and well tolerated for all treatment groups.
- Five subjects reported a total of 6 adverse experiences, In the fasted group, one subject (5.9%) reported at least one treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE).
- TEAE treatment emergent adverse event
- PediaSure® group 5 subjects (27.8%) reported at least one TEAE.
- low-fat meal group 3 subjects (17.6%) reported at least one TEAE. There were no deaths and no serious adverse experiences. All adverse experiences were of mild intensity and resolved during the study. There were no clinically significant findings for laboratory safety values, vital signs, or ECG data.
- Study Participants The study enrolled male and female subjects who were between 18 and 55 years of age. inclusive, with BMI 18 - 32 kg/m2. Both male and female agreed to use birth control for the duration of the study and for at least 1 month post last dose. Subjects were determined to be healthy based on medical history, physical examination, laboratory assessments, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and vital signs at screening. Subjects must not have participated in any other investigational trial within 28 days prior to study drug administration or have known hypersensitivity to the study drugs or any of their excipients. Strong CYP3 A4 inhibitors/inducers were prohibited 1 week prior and during the study. Other key exclusion criteria included subjects with any current condition or history of significant endocrine, hepatic, renal, hematological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, urological, immunological, or neurological disorders with clinical manifestations or a history of gastrointestinal surgery.
- Part 1 This was a Phase 1 , open-label, nonrandomized, multiple dose study in healthy male and female subjects (Part 1) followed by a single dose study in healthy male subjects (Part 2). This evaluation only included the evaluation from Part 1.
- Part 1 of this study consisted of 2 groups; 8 subjects were to be enrolled into each group for a total of up to 16 subjects. At least 3 males were to be enrolled in each group. Subjects were admitted into the study site on Day -1. From Days 1 to 6, all subjects in Group 1 received a 200 mg oral dose of vatiquinone administered on a three times daily schedule (TID) while all subjects in Group 2 received a 400 mg oral dose of vatiquinone.
- TID three times daily schedule
- the TID dosing schedule was based on a 6-hour interval that corresponded to the timing of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- the drug was administered within 30 minutes after consuming a low-fat meal.
- Breakfast, lunch, and dinner consisted of at least 25% fat of the total caloric content.
- Vatiquinone PK parameters were computed using Phoenix WinNonlin 6.3 or higher and employing a non-compartmental analysis of plasma concentration-time profiles based on actual blood sampling times.
- PK parameters derived from the analysis included but not limited to Cmax; time to peak concentration (Tmax); apparent terminal elimination rate constant ( ⁇ z); apparent elimination half-life (t1/2); area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to time t (AUCo-t), and from 0 to infinity (AUC0- ⁇ ).
- a regression analysis was performed on the terminal linear phase of the semi-logarithmic plots of individual concentration-time data. During the analysis, regressions using the last 3 points with non-zero concentrations, then the last 4 points, and the last 5 points, and so forth, were repeated. Points prior to Cmax (including Cmax) were not used.
- a total of 4 ml of whole blood sample was collected via vena puncture into Vacutainer® tubes with K2-EDTA (BD product number 367861). Immediately after blood collection, the Vacutainer® blood collection tube was gently inverted 8 to 10 times to allow mixing with the anticoagulant. The blood samples were placed on ice during the processing. Each blood sample was centrifuged within 30 minutes of collection to separate the plasma.
- the safety set which included subjects who received study drug and had at least one safety assessment post-baseline, was employed in the analysis of tolerability and safety variables.
- Drug safety was evaluated by pre- and post-dose assessments including vital signs (blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate), ECGs, clinical laboratory values (chemistry, hematology, urinalysis), physical examinations, and monitoring of adverse events (incidence, severity, relationship).
- a follow-up visit occurred 7 days after the last clinic day.
- TID dosing on 6-6-12 schedule exhibited 3 peaks over the course of 24 hours.
- the typical individual PK profile clearly demonstrated 3 peaks that corresponded to the timing of vatiquinone administration during meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The 3 peaks were consistently observed on both Day 1 and after multiple dosing on Day 6. Delayed absorption was observed after the first morning dose.
- the mean PK profile at steady state (Day 6) suggested that all subjects exhibited multiple peaks over the 24 hour period.
- the multiple peaks in mean PK concentration profile compared to the individual profile appeared flatter due to the variabilities in the timing of the 3 peaks.
- Figs. 2A and 2B show vatiquinone plasma concentration profiles versus time profile following continuous TID dosing schedule.
- Table 2 provides a summary of the mean (CV%) vatiquinone pharmacokinetic parameters following 7 days of continuous 200 or 400 mg 6-6- 12 TID dosing schedule.
- vatiquinone was safe and well tolerated for all treatment groups.
