A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Exploratory Randomised Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of IFB-088 Plus Riluzole 100 mg vs Placebo Plus Riluzole 100 mg in Patients With Bulbar-onset Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Prospective, international, randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicentre, parallel group study. Patients will be randomised in a 2:1 allocation ratio to receive either IFB-088 + riluzole 100 mg or placebo + riluzole 100 mg. This clinical trial is an exploratory study, designed to show a signal of efficacy of IFB-088 through ALSFRS-R, MITOS and King's College. Respiratory function will be followed through SVC. Biomarkers and quality of life will also be evaluated throughout the study.
Patients will be treated over a 6-month period. After a screening/consent visit, patients will undergo clinic visits at randomisation (V0), at 2 weeks (V1), and at months 1 (V2), 3 (V3) and 6 (V4). One week after V0, the patient will undergo urine analysis (dipstick)and blood sampling for measurement of creatinine
, as well as blood sampling for measurement of creatinine and calculation of eGFR at months 2, 4 and 5. At the V2 visit, in addition to other assessments, patients will undergo blood sampling for PK measurements and urine sampling for crystalluria examination. Blood and urine chemistry, as well as physical examination and vital signs assessment to assess safety will be performed at each visit for safety purpose and crystalluria examination will be repeated at the follow-up visit, performed one month ± one week after V4.

The small compound Icerguastat reduces muscle defects in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy through the PERK pathway of the unfolded protein response.

Article

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of specific muscles. OPMD is due to a mutation in the gene encoding poly(A) binding protein nuclear 1 (PABPN1) leading to a stretch of 11 to 18 alanines at N-terminus of the protein, instead of 10 alanines in the normal protein. This alanine tract extension induces the misfolding and aggregation of PABPN1 in muscle nuclei. Here, using Drosophila OPMD models, we show that the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated in OPMD upon endoplasmic reticulum stress. Mutations in components of the PERK branch of the UPR reduce muscle degeneration and PABPN1 aggregation characteristic of the disease. We show that oral treatment of OPMD flies with Icerguastat (previously IFB-088), a Guanabenz acetate derivative that shows lower side effects, also decreases muscle degeneration and PABPN1 aggregation. Furthermore, the positive effect of Icerguastat depends on GADD34, a key component of the phosphatase complex in the PERK branch of the UPR. This study reveals a major contribution of the ER stress in OPMD pathogenesis and provides a proof-of-concept for Icerguastat interest in future pharmacological treatments of OPMD.

Abstract:

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A), caused by duplication of the peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene, and CMT1B, caused by mutations in myelin protein zero (MPZ) gene, are the two most common forms of demyelinating CMT (CMT1), and no treatments are available for either. Prior studies of the MpzSer63del mouse model of CMT1B have demonstrated that protein misfolding, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) contributed to the neuropathy. Heterozygous patients with an arginine to cysteine mutation in MPZ (MPZR98C) develop a severe infantile form of CMT1B which is modelled by MpzR98C/ + mice that also show ER stress and an activated UPR. C3-PMP22 mice are considered to effectively model CMT1A. Altered proteostasis, ER stress and activation of the UPR have been demonstrated in mice carrying Pmp22 mutations. To determine whether enabling the ER stress/UPR and readjusting protein homeostasis would effectively treat these models of CMT1B and CMT1A, we administered Sephin1/IFB-088/icerguestat, a UPR modulator which showed efficacy in the MpzS63del model of CMT1B, to heterozygous MpzR98C and C3-PMP22 mice. Mice were analysed by behavioural, neurophysiological, morphological and biochemical measures. Both MpzR98C/ + and C3-PMP22 mice improved in motor function and neurophysiology. Myelination, as demonstrated by g-ratios and myelin thickness, improved in CMT1B and CMT1A mice and markers of UPR activation returned towards wild-type values. Taken together, our results demonstrate the capability of IFB-088 to treat a second mouse model of CMT1B and a mouse model of CMT1A, the most common form of CMT. Given the recent benefits of IFB-088 treatment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis animal models, these data demonstrate its potential in managing UPR and ER stress for multiple mutations in CMT1 as well as in other neurodegenerative diseases.Graphical Abstract(Left panel) the accumulation of overexpressed PMP22 or misfolded mutant P0 in the Schwann cell endoplasmic reticulum (ER) leads to overwhelming of the degradative capacity, activation of ER-stress mechanisms, and myelination impairment. (Right panel) by prolonging eIF2α phosphorylation, IFB-088 reduces the amount of newly synthesized proteins entering the ER, allowing the protein quality control systems to better cope with the unfolded/misfolded protein and allowing myelination to progress.

Review

作者: Zhang, Ruxu ; Cao, Wanqian

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the commonest form of inherited neuropathy and has an incidence of 1/2500. CMT1A is the commonest subtype of CMT, which is caused by duplication of peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) gene and accounts for approximately 50% of CMT diagnosed by genetic testing. Duplication of PMP22 may influence the production of PMP22 mRNA and protein, and interfere with the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of Schwann cells. In addition, deregulation of NRG1/ErbB pathway and lipid metabolism can also lead to dysfunction of Schwann cells. Such factors may disturb the myelination process, leading to axon degeneration, muscle weakness, and atrophy subsequently. Accordingly, drug therapies for CMT1A are developed by targeting such factors. PXT3003, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) are supposed to down-regulate the level of PMP22 mRNA, while recombinant human NRG-1 (rhNRG1) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) may enhance Schwann cells survival and differentiation. In addition, lipid-supplemented diet may remedy the defect of lipid metabolism and maintain the proper structure of myelin. Other targeting drugs include ascorbic acid, progesterone antagonists, IFB-088, ADX71441, and ACE-083. This review is to sum up the pathogenesis of CMT1A and promising targeting drug therapies for further research.
