Advancement of RNAi-based therapeutics depends on effective delivery to the site protein synthesis. Although intravenously administered, multi-component vehicles have enabled small interfering RNA (siRNA) and progression into clinical development, advances single-component, systemic siRNA been challenging. In pre-clinical models, attachment a triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligand an mediates hepatocyte uptake via asialoglycoprotein receptor enabling RNAi-mediated gene silencing....
Patients with chronic atrophic gastritis have long-term gastric hypoacidity, and secondary hypergastrinaemia. Some also develop ECL cells carcinoids (type 1 GC). Most type GC remain indolent, but some metastasise. undergo surveillance, are treated somatostatin analogues, endoscopic resection or surgery. Netazepide (YF476) is a highly selective, potent orally active gastrin receptor antagonist, which has anti-tumour activity in various rodent models of neoplasia driven by been studied healthy...

Healthy subjects (14 men, 10 women; age 18-39 years; mean weight 73.5kg, range 53.8-98.8kg; 23 Europid, 1 Afro-Caribbean) received orally, for 7 days each, placebo, 10mg, four doses daily, at 4h intervals, ketoconazole 200mg 12-hourly together. The washout period 15 days. Pharmacokinetics serial 12-lead...
IntroductionAutoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) causes hypochlorhydria and hypergastrinaemia, which can lead to enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell hyperplasia gastric neuroendocrine tumours (type 1 NETs). Most behave indolently, but some larger metastasise. Antrectomy, removes the source of usually tumour regression. Non-clinical healthy-subject studies have shown that netazepide (YF476) is a potent, highly selective orally-active gastrin/CCK-2 receptor antagonist. Also, it effective...
Interleukin-13 (IL-13) is a key mediator of T-helper-cell-type-2 (Th-2)-driven asthma, the inhibition which may improve treatment outcomes. We examined safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity VR942, dry-powder formulation containing CDP7766, high-affinity anti-human-IL-13 antigen-binding antibody fragment being developed for asthma.We conducted phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending-dose study at Hammersmith Medicines Research, London, UK, now...

Methods In randomized, double‐blind, parallel‐group study, 180 subjects received by injection 40 mg EU‐Humira, or US‐Humira, 1:1:1 ratio, stratified bodyweight. Pharmacokinetics, local tolerability, immunogenicity, adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiography laboratory...
The objectives of this study were to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics single multiple oral doses ONO-7684, a novel activated factor XI (FXIa) inhibitor, in healthy subjects.
Abstract SLN124, an N‐acetylgalactosamine conjugated 19‐mer short interfering RNA, is being developed to treat iron‐loading anemias (including beta‐thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndromes) myeloproliferative neoplasms (polycythemia vera). Through hepatic targeting silencing of the TMPRSS6 gene, SLN124 increases endogenous hepcidin synthesis. This first clinical report siRNA a component iron homeostasis. first‐in‐human, phase 1 study assessed safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics,...
Cathepsin C (CTSC) is necessary for the activation of several serine proteases including neutrophil elastase (NE), cathepsin G and proteinase 3. GSK2793660 an oral, irreversible inhibitor CTSC that hypothesized to provide alternative route achieve NE inhibition was tested in a Phase I study.Single escalating oral doses from 0.5 20 mg or placebo were administered randomized crossover design healthy male subjects; separate cohort received once daily 12 21 days. Data collected on safety,...

Elevated circulating concentrations of the hormone gastrin contribute to development gastric adenocarcinoma and types-1 2 neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate proteins which in turn influence various biological processes. We hypothesised induces expression specific miRNAs within CCK2 receptor (CCK2R) expressing cells these mediate functionally important actions gastrin.Gastrin increased miR-222 AGSGR cells, with...
Among the vinca-alkaloid class, vincristine is a potent chemotherapeutic agent with significant neurotoxic effects and employed to address wide spectrum of cancer types. Recently, therapeutic potential cholecystokinin type 2 receptor (CCK2R) as target for vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) was demonstrated.
