CLINICAL TRIALS.....Type II Hyperlipidemia PHASE 2............https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01388816
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Among cardiovascular disorders, coronary heart disease (CHD) caused by atherosclerosis is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality. Prevention, stabilization and regression of atherosclerotic plaques may have a major impact on reducing the risk of acute coronary events.
LDL-C lowering agents, primarily the statins, are the current mainstay in the pharmacologic management of dyslipidemia. However even with stain use, residual CHD risk from dyslipidemia remains. Epidemiologic and observational studies have shown that HDL-C is also a strong independent predictor of CHD, suggesting that raising HDL-C levels might afford clinical benefit in the reduction of cardiovascular risk.
Presently only niacin is approved by the FDA for HDL-C elevation and can raise HDL-C levels by 20-30%. However its use can be limited by a high incidence of flushing and, less commonly, by elevation of blood glucose and potential hepatic toxicity.
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors are being explored for their ability to elevate HDL-C. A small molecule CETP inhibitor, torcetrapib, has been demonstrated to elevate HDL-C by 60-100%. However, a large clinical trial (ILLUMINATE) where it increased HDL-C by a mean of 72% compared to baseline was halted as it failed to show benefit. Post-hoc analysis of this study implicated an off-target increase in blood pressure as potentially counteracting any anti-atherosclerotic benefits. Post-hoc subgroup analysis showed that patients in the highest HDL-C quartile had a 57% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events.
Increased blood pressure appears to be specifically related to torcetrapib as two other small molecule CETP inhibitors, anacetrapib and dalcetrapib, have not shown this in clinical trials and have been well tolerated. DRL-17822 has also not shown elevation of blood pressure in either animals or in normal volunteers.
This study will investigate the efficacy and tolerability of DRL-17822 as dyslipidemia monotherapy in patients with Type II hyperlipidemia.

Hyperlipidemia or an elevation in serum lipids is associated with an increase incidence of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Primary hyperlipidemia is a term used to describe a defect in lipoprotein metabolism. The lipoproteins commonly affected are low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which transports mainly cholesterol, and very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-cholesterol), which transports mainly triglycerides (TG). Most subjects with hyperlipidemia have a defect in LDL metabolism, characterized by raised cholesterol, LDL-C levels, with or without raised triglyceride levels; such subjects are termed hypercholesterolemic (Fredrickson Type II). Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is caused by any one of a number of genetically-determined defects in the LDL receptor, which is important for the entry of cholesterol into cells. The condition is characterized by a reduced number of functional LDL receptors, and is therefore associated with raised serum LDL-C levels due to an increase in LDL.

It is reasonably known in the art that the likelihood of cardiovascular disease can be decreased, if the serum lipids, and in particular LDL-C, can be reduced. It is further known that the progression of atherosclerosis can be retarded or the regression of atherosclerosis can be induced if serum lipids can be lowered. In such cases, individuals diagnosed with hyperlipidemia or hypercholesteremia should consider lipid-lowering therapy to retard the progression or induce the regression of atherosclerosis for purposes of reducing their risk of cardiovascular disease, and in particular coronary artery disease.
Cholesteryl ester-transfer protein (CETP) is an important player in metabolism of lipoproteins, such as, for example, a high density lipoprotein (HDL). CETP is a 70 kDa plasma glycoprotein that is physically associated with HDL particles. It facilitates the transport of cholesteryl ester from HDL to apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins. This transfer is accompanied by transfer of triglycerides in the opposite direction. Thus, a decrease in CETP activity can result in an increase in the level of HDL cholesterol and a decrease in the level of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL). CETP can therefore simultaneously affect the concentrations of pro-atherogenic (for example, LDL) and anti-atherogenic (for example, HDL) lipoproteins.
Several CETP inhibitors are currently in various clinical phases of development for treating various aforementioned disorders. In spite of having various advantages, CETP inhibitors are proven to be difficult to formulate for oral administration. CETP inhibitors are of a highly lipophilic nature and have extremely low solubility in water. Due to their poor solubility, bioavailability of conventional oral compositions is very poor. The lipophilic nature of CETP inhibitors not only leads to low solubility but also tends to poor wettability, further reducing their tendency to be absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to the low solubility, CETP inhibitors also tend to have significant, "food effect", where a significant difference in rate and amount of drug absorption is observed when the drug is administered with or without a meal. This "food effect", often complicates the dosing regimen and may require high dosing to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, resulting in potentially unwanted side effects.
Several attempts have been made to improve the solubility of CETP inhibitors, but have generally ended up with limited success. At the outset, most methods aimed at enhancing aqueous concentration and bioavailability of low-solubility drugs only offer moderate improvements.

Dr. Reddy’s announces start of Phase II study with the CETP inhibitor, DRL-17822 in dyslipidemia patients

Hyderabad, India, September 02, 2011: Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE: RDY) announced the initiation of dosing with DRL-17822 in patients with diagnosis of type II dyslipidaemia. DRL-17822, is a selective, orally bioavailable inhibitor of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), for the treatment and/or prevention of dyslipidaemia, atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular disease.

The current study is being conducted under a CTA in a number of countries in Europe. The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DRL-17822 in patients with Type-II dyslipidemia. This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study in 160 subjects. The primary outcome measure is to assess the elevation in HDL cholesterol and reduction in LDL cholesterol from baseline to end of treatment compared to placebo. Three doses (50, 150 & 300 mg) of DRL-17822 given once daily for 4 weeks will be evaluated during this study.
Three human Phase I studies with DRL-17822 had already been conducted in Europe, where DRL-17822 was shown to be safe and well tolerated. In these studies, the proof of mechanism had been demonstrated by dose-dependent inhibition of plasma CETP activity as well as by significant increase in HDL cholesterol & decrease in LDL cholesterol levels.
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death among men and women worldwide. Among cardiovascular disorders, coronary heart disease (CHD), caused by atherosclerosis is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality. Stabilization and/or regression of atherosclerotic plaques may have a major impact on reducing the risk of acute coronary events. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering agents, primarily the statins, are the current mainstay in the pharmacological management of dyslipidaemia. However, significant residual cardiovascular risk remains despite use of statins.
Epidemiological and observational studies demonstrate that reduced high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are a strong, independent predictor of CHD, suggesting that raising HDL cholesterol levels might afford clinical benefit in the reduction of cardiovascular risk. One approach to raise HDL level has been inhibition of CETP activity. Currently it is believed that, raising HDL cholesterol and lowering LDL cholesterol through CETP inhibition would lead to a significant benefit in terms of CHD risk reduction.
Dr. K. Anji Reddy, Founder Chairman, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories added, “We are committed to delivering products of differentiated value in this area of high global clinical unmet need. We are excited to continue to advance our CETP program and look forward to the data from our Phase II study. This class of therapy could transform the treatment of CHD and DRL 17822 is in a position to be one of the front-running products in the class”.
