A Safety, Pharmacokinetic & Dose-Escalation Study of KD019 in Subjects With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

A Safety, Pharmacokinetic & Dose-Escalation Study of KD019 in Subjects With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

A Phase 1b/2a, Safety, Pharmacokinetic and Dose-Escalation Study of KD019 (Tesevatinib) in Subjects With Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD)

The primary objective of this study Phase 1b was to determine the safety, plasma pharmacokinetics, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tesevatinib when administered to participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The primary objective of this study Phase 2a was to evaluate the annualized change in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in participants with ADPKD when treated with tesevatinib.

Phase 1b: Primary objective was to determine the safety of tesevatinib. Dosing was for 28 days daily. After the 28-day treatment period, participants would, at the discretion of the investigator, continue to receive study treatment for 24 months from their first dose or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision. Participants might continue beyond 24 months at the discretion of the investigator after consultation with the medical monitor. All participants received active tesevatinib study drug. Tesevatinib is an oral once daily tablet. Tablets were 50 milligrams (mg), 100 mg and 150 mg in strength. Participants were enrolled into three sequential dosing cohort levels (50 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg.). Participants in Phase 1b had their dose increased or decreased to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Study participants had magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen (kidneys) at Screening and 6 months thereafter to explore effects of KD019. Echocardiogram was performed at Screening, Day 28, months 3 and 6 and every 6 months thereafter. Phase 2a: Primary objective was to compare the annualized change in GFR in participants with ADPKD when treated with tesevatinib. Two alternate dosing schedules were explored to determine if they were more tolerable than daily dosing when used chronically in participants with ADPKD. Participants received study treatment for 24 months from their first dose or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision. Participants continued beyond 24 months at the discretion of the investigator after consultation with the sponsor. All participants received active tesevatinib study drug. Tablets were 50 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg in strength. Study participants had MRI of the abdomen (kidneys) at Screening and Month 6 visit and every 6 months after to explore effects of tesevatinib. Echocardiogram was performed at Screening, Day 28, and Months 3 and 6 and 6 months thereafter.

Participants received tesevatinib 50 milligrams (mg) tablet orally once daily (QD) for 28 days. After initial 28 days treatment, at the investigator's discretion, participants continued to receive tesevatinib for a total of 24 months (since treatment initiation) or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision (maximum duration: up to 36 months).

Participants received tesevatinib 100 mg tablet orally QD for 28 days. After initial 28 days treatment, at the investigator's discretion, participants continued to receive tesevatinib for a total of 24 months (since treatment initiation) or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision (maximum exposure duration: up to 36 months).

Participants received tesevatinib 150 mg tablet orally QD for 28 days. After initial 28 days treatment, at the investigator's discretion, participants continued to receive tesevatinib for a total of 24 months (since treatment initiation) or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision (maximum exposure duration: up to 36 months).

Participants received tesevatinib 150 mg tablet orally bi-weekly in alternative dosing schedules on Monday and Thursday for initial 25 days. After initial 25 days treatment, at the investigator's discretion, participants continued to receive tesevatinib for a total of 24 months (since treatment initiation) or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision (maximum exposure duration: up to 28 months).

Participants received tesevatinib 150 mg tablet orally tri-weekly in alternative dosing schedules on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for initial 26 days. After initial 26 days treatment, at the investigator's discretion, participants continued to receive tesevatinib for a total of 24 months (since treatment initiation) or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision (maximum exposure duration: up to 28 months).

Participants with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (and Baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than or equal to (>=) 35 milliliters per minute per 1.73 square meter (mL/min/1.73 m^2) and less than or equal to (<=) 80 mL/min/1.73 m^2, and height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) >=1000 mL were enrolled and received tesevatinib 50 mg tablet orally QD for initial 28 days. After initial 28 days treatment, at the investigator's discretion, participants continued to receive tesevatinib for a total of 24 months (since treatment initiation) or until the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision (maximum exposure duration: up to 28 months).

Ctrough was the plasma concentration observed at the time immediately before study drug administration.

The MTD was determined based on dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurring in the first 28 days of study treatment. Any toxicity that the Investigator and the Sponsor deemed to be dose-limiting, regardless of the grade, was considered as DLT.
