Summary

Background

Quabodepistat (formerly OPC-167832) showed potent activity in preclinical studies and in the first stage of an early bactericidal activity study in adults with smear-positive, drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis. Stage 2 of this study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and early bactericidal activity of quabodepistat in combination with delamanid, bedaquiline, or both versus rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide combination therapy for 14 days.

Methods

Stage 2 of this open-label, active-controlled, randomised, parallel-group study was conducted at two research sites in South Africa in adults (aged 18–64 years) with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis. Eligible participants had a BMI of 16–32 kg/m2 and the ability to produce an adequate volume of sputum (≥10 mL overnight) and were excluded if they had drug-resistant tuberculosis or previous treatment for Mycobacterium tuberculosis within the past 3 years. Participants were centrally randomly assigned via interactive web response technology system, with no stratification, into four treatment groups in a ratio of 14:14:14:4 (quabodepistat 30 mg plus delamanid 300 mg, quabodepistat 30 mg plus bedaquiline 400 mg, or quabodepistat 30 mg plus delamanid 300 mg plus bedaquiline 400 mg orally once daily for 14 days, or rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide combination therapy [control] according to local standard of care for 20 days). The primary outcomes were safety and tolerability during and after 14 days of treatment in all participants who received any study medication and pharmacokinetics at day 1 and day 14 in participants in the quabodepistat groups with adequate data for deriving pharmacokinetics parameters. The main secondary outcome was bactericidal activity from baseline to day 14 in all eligible participants who were quantitatively culture-positive at baseline. The study was not powered for formal statistical hypothesis testing; therefore, data were summarised by treatment group with descriptive statistics. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03678688) and is closed to new participants.

Findings

98 participants were screened for entry into stage 2 of the trial between Feb 1, 2021, and Jan 27, 2022, of whom 46 were randomly assigned (14 to each quabodepistat group, 4 to the control group) and 44 received at least one dose of study medication (one patient excluded from the quabodepistat plus delamanid and quabodepistat plus bedaquiline groups). 32 (73%) of 44 participants had at least one treatment-emergent adverse event. Most events (30/32 [94%]) were mild or moderate; the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (≥2 participants; not related to study drugs) were headache (4/44 [9%]), dizziness (3/44 [7%]), abdominal pain (2/44 [5%]), pruritus (2/44 [5%]), and nausea (2/44 [5%]). Two serious adverse events were reported in two participants in the quabodepistat and bedaquiline cohort (anal abscess [n=1], pneumothorax [n=1]); both were deemed not related to study drug. Quabodepistat exposure was minimally affected by coadministration of delamanid or bedaquiline, with lower exposure in the quabodepistat and bedaquiline cohorts (maximum plasma concentration for quabodepistat plus delamanid 208 ng/mL [SD 61; n=11]; quabodepistat plus bedaquiline 175 ng/mL [31; n=10]; quabodepistat plus delamanid plus bedaquiline 183 ng/mL [52; n=11]). Maximum quabodepistat concentrations were achieved approximately 3 h after administration in all combinations. Mean elimination half-life was shorter in combinations with bedaquiline than without bedaquiline (12·3–14·5 h vs 15·2 h). Mean changes from baseline to day 14 of sputum log10 colony-forming units per mL were −2·73 (SD 1·51) for quabodepistat plus delamanid plus bedaquiline (n=12) and −2·71 (SD 0·92) for control (n=19); mean change was −2·17 (SD 1·83) in the quabodepistat plus delamanid cohort (n=11) and −1·97 (SD 1·29) in the quabodepistat plus bedaquiline cohort (n=11).

Interpretation

In this 14-day trial, quabodepistat plus delamanid plus bedaquiline, a novel three-drug combination, appeared to be safe, well tolerated, and provided robust early bactericidal activity in adults with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis. Further evaluation is warranted.
