DOSING REGIMENS FOR THE TREATMENT OF FABRY DISEASE CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a 371 of International Application No.
PCT/US12/28260 filed March 8, 2012, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial Nos. 61/451,798 filed March 11, 2011, 61/578,201 filed December 20, 2011 and 61/596,165 filed February 7, 2012, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
FIELD OF THE APPLICATION The present application provides a dosing regimen and administration schedule for the use of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin and enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of Fabry disease.
BACKGROUND Fabry disease is a progressive, X-linked inborn error of glycospingolipid metabolism caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) as a result of mutations in the α-Gal A gene (GLA). Despite being an X-linked disorder, females can express varying degrees of clinical manifestations. Fabry is a rare disease with incidence estimated between 1 in 40,000 males to 1 in 117,000 in the general population. Moreover, there are variants of later-onset phenotype of Fabry disease that can be under-diagnosed, as they do not present with classical signs and symptoms. This, and the study of newborn screening for Fabry disease, suggests that the actual incidence of Fabry disease can be higher than currently estimated.
Clinical manifestation of the disease can correlate with residual α-Gal A levels. Untreated, life expectancy in Fabry patients is reduced and death usually occurs in the fourth or fifth decade because of vascular disease affecting the kidneys, heart and/or central nervous system. The enzyme deficiency leads to intracellular accumulation of the substrate, globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) in the vascular endothelium and visceral tissues throughout the body. Gradual deterioration of renal function and the development of azotemia, due to glycospingolipid deposition, usually occur in the third to fifth decades of life, but can occur as early as in the second decade. Renal lesions are found in both hemizygous (male) and heterozygous (female) patients.
Cardiac disease occurs in most males and many females. Early cardiac findings include left ventricular enlargement, valvular involvement and conduction abnormalities. Mitral insufficiency is the most frequent valvular lesion typically present in childhood or adolescence. Cerebrovascular manifestations result primarily from multifocal small-vessel involvement and can include thromboses, transient ischemic attacks, basilar artery ischemia and aneurysm, seizures, hemiplegia, hemianesthesia, aphasia, labyrinthine disorders, or cerebral hemorrhages. Average age of onset of cerebrovascular manifestations is 33.8 years. Personality change and psychotic behavior can manifest with increasing age.
The current approved treatment for Fabry disease is enzyme replacement therapy (“ERT”). Two α-Gal A products are currently available for the treatment of Fabry disease: agalsidase alfa (Replagal®, Shire Human Genetic Therapies) and agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®; Genzyme Corporation). These two forms of ERT are intended to compensate for a patient’s inadequate α-Gal A activity with a recombinant form of the enzyme, administered intravenously. While ERT is effective in many settings, the treatment also has limitations. ERT has not been demonstrated to decrease the risk of stroke, cardiac muscle responds slowly, and GL-3 elimination from some of the cell types of the kidneys is limited. Some patients develop immune reactions to ERT. 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin and its salt, 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin hydrochloride (also known by its United States Adopted Name (USAN), migalastat hydrochloride) acts as a pharmacological chaperone for mutant α-Gal A by selectively binding to the enzyme, thereby increasing its stability and helping the enzyme fold into its correct three-dimensional shape. This stabilization of α-Gal A allows the cell’s quality control mechanisms to recognize the enzyme as properly folded so that trafficking of the enzyme to the lysosome is increased, allowing it to carry out its intended biological function, the metabolism of GL-3. As a result of restoring the proper trafficking of α-Gal A from the ER to the lysosome, migalastat hydrochloride also reduces the accumulation of misfolded protein in the ER, which can alleviate stress on cells and some inflammatory-like responses that can be contributing factors in Fabry disease. Multiple in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies, as well as clinical studies, of migalastat hydrochloride have been conducted. Migalastat hydrochloride has been shown to increase the amount of intracellular α-Gal A protein and to enhance transport of mutant enzyme to the lysosome.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present application provides a dosing regimen and administration schedule for the use of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin and agalsidase for the treatment of Fabry disease.
Definitions “Fabry disease” refers to classical Fabry disease, late-onset Fabry disease, and hemizygous females having mutations in the gene encoding α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). The term “Fabry disease,” as used herein, further includes any condition in which a subject exhibits lower than normal endogenous α-Gal A activity.
The term “AUC” represents a mathematical calculation to evaluate the body’s total exposure over time to a given drug. In a graph plotting how concentration in the blood after dosing, the drug concentration variable lies on the y-axis and time lies on the x-axis. The area between a drug concentration curve and the x-axis for a designated time interval is the AUC. AUCs are used as a guide for dosing schedules and to compare different drugs’ availability in the body.
The term “Cmax” represents the maximum plasma concentration achieved after dosing.
The terms “therapeutically effective dose” and “effective amount” refer to the amount of the specific pharmaceutical compound or composition that is sufficient to result in a beneficial therapeutic response. A beneficial therapeutic response can be any response that a user (e.g., a clinician) will recognize as an effective response to the therapy, including the foregoing symptoms and surrogate clinical markers. Thus, a therapeutic response will generally be an amelioration of one or more symptoms of a disease or disorder, e.g., Fabry disease, such as those known in the art for the disease or disorder, e.g., for Fabry disease.
Non-limiting examples of improvements in surrogate markers for Fabry disease include increases in α-GAL levels or activity in cells (e.g., fibroblasts) and tissue; reductions in of GL-3 accumulation as measured by the change in kidney interstitial capillary biopsies using histology; decreased urine GL-3 levels; assessment of renal function (including glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and 24-hour urine protein; decreased plasma concentrations of homocysteine and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM- 1); decreased GL-3 accumulation within myocardial cells and valvular fibrocytes; reduction in cardiac hypertrophy (especially of the left ventricle), amelioration of valvular insufficiency, and arrhythmias; amelioration of proteinuria; decreased urinary concentrations of lipids such as CTH, lactosylceramide, ceramide, and increased urinary concentrations of glucosylceramide and sphingomyelin (Fuller et al., Clinical Chemistry. 2005; 51: 688-694); the absence of laminated inclusion bodies (Zebra bodies) in glomerular epithelial cells; improvements in renal function; mitigation of hypohidrosis; the absence of angiokeratomas; and improvements hearing abnormalities such as high frequency sensorineural hearing loss progressive hearing loss, sudden deafness, or tinnitus. Improvements in neurological symptoms include prevention of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke; and amelioration of neuropathic pain manifesting itself as acroparaesthesia (burning or tingling in extremities).
The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to molecular entities and compositions that are physiologically tolerable and do not typically produce untoward reactions when administered to a human. Preferably, as used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means approved by a regulatory agency of the federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term "carrier" refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle with which the compound is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils.
Water or aqueous solution saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions are preferably employed as carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences” by E.W.
Martin, 18th Edition, or other editions, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. “1-deoxygalactonojirimycin” (DGJ) refers to (2R,3S,4R,5S) (hydroxymethyl) piperdine-3,4,5-triol. As used herein, reference to “1- deoxygalactonojirimycin” or “DGJ” throughout includes both the free base and any pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of the same. The hydrochloride salt of DGJ is known as migalastat hydrochloride.
The term “adjuvant” or “adjuvant therapy” refers to any additional substance, treatment, or procedure used for increasing the efficacy, safety, or otherwise facilitating or enhancing the performance of a primary substance, treatment, or procedure.
The term “combination therapy” refers to any therapy wherein the results are enhanced as compared to the effect of each therapy when it is performed individually.
The individual therapies in a combination therapy may be administered concurrently or consecutively.
Enhancement may include any improvement of the effect of the various therapies that may result in an advantageous result as compared to the results achieved by the therapies when performed alone. Enhanced effect and determination of enhanced effect may be measured by various parameters such as, but not limited to: temporal parameters (e.g., length of treatment, recovery time, long-term effect of the treatment or reversibility of treatment); biological parameters (e.g., cell number, cell volume, cell composition, tissue volume, tissue size, tissue composition); spatial parameters (e.g., tissue strength, tissue size or tissue accessibility) and physiological parameters (e.g., body contouring, pain, discomfort, recovery time or visible marks). Enhanced effect may include a synergistic enhancement, wherein the enhanced effect is more than the additive effects of each therapy when performed by itself. Enhanced effect may include an additive enhancement, wherein the enhanced effect is substantially equal to the additive effect of each therapy when performed by itself. Enhanced effect may include less than a synergistic effect, wherein the enhanced effect is lower than the additive effect of each therapy when performed by itself, but still better than the effect of each therapy when performed by itself.
The terms “about” and “approximately” shall generally mean an acceptable degree of error for the quantity measured given the nature or precision of the measurements. Typical, exemplary degrees of error are within 20 percent (%), preferably within 10%, and more preferably within 5% of a given value or range of values.
Alternatively, and particularly in biological systems, the terms “about” and “approximately” can mean values that are within an order of magnitude, preferably within 5-fold and more preferably within 2-fold of a given value. Numerical quantities given herein are approximate unless stated otherwise.
Formulation and Administration 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin can be administered as the free base or as a pharmacologically acceptable salt form, including 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin hydrochloride (a.k.a., migalastat hydrochloride). It can be administered in a form suitable for any route of administration, including e.g., orally in the form tablets, capsules, or liquid, or in sterile aqueous solution for injection. It can be administered orally in the form of tablets, capsules, ovules, elixirs, solutions or suspensions, gels, syrups, mouth washes, or a dry powder for constitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use, optionally with flavoring and coloring agents for immediate-, delayed-, modified-, sustained-, pulsed-or controlled-release applications. Solid compositions such as tablets, capsules, lozenges, pastilles, pills, boluses, powder, pastes, granules, bullets, or premix preparations can also be used. Solid and liquid compositions for oral use can be prepared according to methods well known in the art. Such compositions can also contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipients which can be in solid or liquid form. When the compound is formulated for oral administration, the tablets or capsules can be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g., pregelatinized starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulphate). The tablets can be coated by methods well known in the art.
The pharmaceutically acceptable excipients also include, but are not limited to, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, dibasic calcium phosphate and glycine, disintegrants such as starch (preferably corn, potato or tapioca starch), sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium and certain complex silicates, and granulation binders such as polyvinylpyrolidone, hydroxypropyl ethylcellulose (HPMC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), sucrose, gelatin, and acacia.
Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, glyceryl behenate and talc can be included.
In a specific embodiment, migalastat hydrochloride is formulated with magnesium stearate and pregelatinized starch in a white, hard gelatin capsule. In another embodiment the solid dosage form comprises about 75-80% migalastat hydrochloride, about 0.1-2% magnesium stearate and about 20-25% pregelatinized starch. In another specific embodiment, the capsule comprises about 76.5% migalastat hydrochloride, about 0.5% magnesium stearate and about 23% pregelatinized starch.
Enzyme Replacement Therapy The current approved treatment for Fabry disease is enzyme replacement therapy. Two products are currently available for the treatment of Fabry disease: agalsidase alfa (Replagal®, Shire Human Genetic Therapies) and agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®; Genzyme Corporation), marketed globally. These two forms of ERT are intended to compensate for a patient’s inadequate α-Gal A activity with a recombinant form of the enzyme, administered intravenously. ERT has been demonstrated to reduce GL-3 deposition in capillary endothelium of the kidney and certain other cell types.
While ERT is effective in many settings, the treatment also has limitations. ERT has not been demonstrated to decrease the risk of stroke, cardiac muscle responds slowly, and GL-3 elimination from some of the cell types of the kidneys is limited. Some patients develop immune reactions to ERT.
The recommended dosage of agalsidase alfa is 0.2 mg/kg body weight infused every 2 weeks as an intravenous infusion. A 10-week study was conducted in ERT naïve adult males Fabry patients to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of agalsidase alfa. The mean half life after administration of doses ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 mg/kg of agalsidase alfa was 56-76 minutes with no significant association between dose and half life, clearance or volume of distribution. The AUC was linearly proportional to dose over this dose range. Plasma GL-3 levels were reduced in all dose groups by approximately 50%; the reduction was independent of dose and dosing frequency. Two of 18 patients became IgG positive during the study. No IgE antibodies were detected in any patient during the study.
The recommended dosage of agalsidase beta is 1 mg/kg body weight infused every 2 weeks as an intravenous infusion. The manufacturer of agalsidase beta has announced a drug shortage, the only ERT approved in the US for Fabry disease. As a result, agalsidase beta is currently rationed and patients typically receive a reduced dose of the enzyme and/or an extended dosing interval (i.e., greater than 2 weeks between doses). Agalsidase beta exhibits non-linear pharmacokinetics with exposure (AUC) values increasing and clearance decreasing disproportionally with increase in dose. AUC values increased approximately 6-fold and 8-fold when doses were increased from 0.3 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg and from 1 mg/kg to 3 mg/kg, respectively. The elimination half-life of agalsidase beta in adult patients after doses ranging from 0.3 mg/kg to 3 mg/kg was dose dependent and ranged from 45 to 100 minutes.
IgG antibodies to agalsidase beta developed in 79% of adult patients and 69% of pediatric patients treated with agalsidase in clinical studies; the majority of patients who developed IgG antibodies did so within the first 3 months of exposure.
Males, particularly those with low residual α-Gal A levels, were more likely to develop IgG antibodies than males with higher residual levels or in females. IgG seroconversion in pediatric patients was associated with prolonged half-life of agalsidase. However, in adult patients, identical agalsidase pharmacokinetic profiles were observed before and after seroconversion in one trial; in another trial, maximal agalsidase concentrations and AUC values were reduced up to 26% of baseline values in patients with the highest titers of IgG. The presence of IgG antibodies to agalsidase has been reported to decrease activity of the enzyme.
Migalastat hydrochloride stabilizes wild-type α-Gal A in vitro and as well as in vivo. It has been demonstrated in vitro that the binding of migalastat hydrochloride to rhα-Gal A resulted in significant time- and concentration-dependent increases in stabilization of rhα-Gal A at neutral pH as measured by thermal denaturation and by activity. In a neutral pH buffer, rhα-Gal A showed a loss in activity, with a half-life of approximately 3 hours; co-incubation with migalastat hydrochloride increased the half- life for loss of rhα-Gal A activity to approximately 40 hours.
In the rat, oral administration of 3 mg/kg of migalastat hydrochloride followed 30 min later by an injection of 10 mg/kg agalsidase beta resulted in a 2.6-fold increase in the plasma half-life of rhα-Gal A and a 2.5-fold and 1.5-fold increase in plasma α-Gal A levels at 60 and 240 minutes, respectively. In the GLA deficient mouse, oral administration of 30, 100 or 300 mg/kg doses of migalastat hydrochloride 30 min prior to and 2 hours after an injection of rhα-Gal A resulted in a dose-dependent increase in tissue α-Gal A levels and a dose-dependent reduction in GL-3 levels in skin, heart, kidney, and plasma compared to administration of rhα-Gal A alone.
Migalastat hydrochloride has been shown to stabilize agalsidase alfa both in vitro and in vivo. The effect of migalastat hydrochloride on the physical stability of agalsidase alfa was evaluated with an in vitro thermal denaturation assay. Using this assay, agalsidase alfa showed a melting temperature (Tm) of approximately 51°C at pH 7.4. However, when 10 μM migalastat hydrochloride was included in the denaturation reaction, the Tm of agalsidase alfa was substantially increased to 59°C. As expected for a lysosomal enzyme, agalsidase alfa was more stable at low pH (Tm of 58°C at pH 5.2) and exhibited further resistance to heat-denaturation in the presence of 10 μM migalastat hydrochloride (Tm of 68°C). These data indicate that binding of migalastat hydrochloride confers a high level of physical stability to agalsidase alfa.
The effect of migalastat hydrochloride on the rate of clearance of agalsidase alfa from the blood of male Sprague-Dawley rats was also investigated.
Animals received vehicle (water) or a single oral gavage of 1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg migalastat hydrochloride, followed 30 minutes later by intravenous administration of 0.2 mg/kg agalsidase alfa via bolus tail vein injection. Blood was collected as a function of time and α-Gal A activity was measured in plasma. In the absence of migalastat hydrochloride, α-Gal A activity declined rapidly; pre-administration of migalastat hydrochloride resulted in a dose-dependent increase in the half life of agalsidase alfa (as measured by α-Gal A activity) of approximately 2-fold and 3-fold, after administration of 3 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg migalastat hydrochloride, respectively, with an approximately 2.5- fold and 1.5-fold increase in plasma α-Gal A levels at 60 and 240 minutes, respectively.
The effect of migalastat hydrochloride on agalsidase alfa both in vitro and in vivo is comparable to that observed with migalastat hydrochloride on agalsidase beta.
A preliminary study in GLA deficient mice has been conducted evaluating the safety of co-administered migalastat hydrochloride and Fabrazyme®. Migalastat hydrochloride was administered three times a week for four weeks at doses of 3 and 30 mg/kg in combination with Fabrazyme® administered intravenously once a week at a dose of 1 mg/kg. There appeared to be no direct drug-related changes in survival, clinical condition or hematology and clinical chemistry parameters observed in male GLA- deficient mice co-administered with migalastat hydrochloride and Fabrazyme®.
EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1: Dosing Regimen for the Treatment of Fabry Disease using Migalastat Hydrochloride and Agalsidase One objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and pharmacodynamics of dose regimens comprising co-administering migalastat hydrochloride and agalsidase in patients with Fabry disease.
Another objective of the study is to assess the effects of 150 mg and 450 mg doses of migalastat hydrochloride on the distribution of α-Gal A. This will be evaluated by measuring the distribution of agalsidase in skin after dosing with agalsidase alone and agalsidase in combination with migalastat hydrochloride at 24 hours and 7 days after dosing by measuring α-Gal A levels and protein levels.
Other measurements that will be evaluated are:  Urinary GL-3 excretion before and 14 days after each agalsidase dose;  GL-3 in skin after dosing with agalsidase alone and agalsidase in combination with migalastat hydrochloride at 24 hours and 7 days after dosing;  WBC α-Gal A enzyme levels, determined before initiation of the agalsidase infusion and at 2, 4 and 24 hours and 7 and 14 days after dosing;  Antibody titer (IgG) before initiation of an infusion of agalsidase;  Plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-GB3) concentrations and urinary excretion of lyso-GB3 before each dose of agalsidase and 14 days after each dose of agalsidase.
All plasma, WBC and skin measurements of α-Gal A enzyme levels are performed with and without Con A capture and determination of protein levels is by Western blot.
Study Design. This is a Phase 2 clinical, two stage, open-label study to assess the safety and effectiveness of co-administering migalastat hydrochloride and agalsidase. The study will be conducted in male subjects between 18 and 65 years of age who have been receiving a stable dose (0.3-1.0 mg/kg) of agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®) or (≥ 0.2 mg/kg) of agalsidase alfa (Replagal®) at least one month before study entry.

Migalastat HCl and rhα-Gal A Pharmacokinetics. Concentrations of migalastat HCl in blood samples will be measured in plasma using a validated LC- MS/MS assay. α-Gal A levels in plasma will be determined by a validated assay measuring enzyme activity using 4-MUG, with and without Con A. α-Gal A protein levels will be measured by Western blotting using anti-human Gal A antibody. α-Gal A Enzyme Levels in Skin. α-Gal A enzyme levels will be examined in skin biopsy samples. Skin biopsies will be done using a “punch” device.
One piece will be removed at each visit. α-Gal A levels in skin will be determined by a validated assay measuring enzyme activity using 4-MUG, with and without Con A. α- Gal A protein levels will be measured by Western blotting using anti-human Gal A antibody.
WBC α-Gal A Levels. α-Gal A levels in WBCs will be determined in blood samples by a validated assay measuring enzyme activity using 4-MUG, with and without Con A. α-Gal A protein levels will be measured by Western blotting using anti- human Gal A antibody.
Plasma Lyso-GB3. Measurements of plasma lyso-GB3 will be performed on an exploratory basis to obtain data in patients receiving ERT alone and ERT with co- administered migalastat hydrochloride. Concentrations of lyso-GB3 will be measured in plasma using a validated assay.
Urine GL-3 and Lyso-GB3. A first in morning void urine sample will be collected from each subject for analysis of urine GL-3 and lyso-GB3 excretion on Day 1 and Day 14 of Periods 1 and 2. The subjects collect urine in the morning of Days 1 and 14. Urinary GL-3 and urinary Lyso-GB3 will be expressed as a function of urinary creatinine concentration.
Antibody Titer. Blood samples will be collected and IgG antibody titers will be measured in each blood sample.
Safety Parameters. Safety parameters will be assessed by review of changes in physical exam findings, vital signs, ECG changes over time, clinical labs and adverse events.
Vital Signs, Weight and Height. Body temperature and respirations will be measured at screening and check-in. To monitor safety, body temperature, respiration, seated blood pressure and heart rate will be measured before dosing and approximately 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours following administration of agalsidase (Period 1) or migalastat hydrochloride (Periods 2 and 3), on Days 2, 7 and 14. Where the time of vital sign monitoring coincides with a blood draw, the blood draw takes precedence and the vital signs will be adjusted accordingly.
ECG Monitoring. ECG monitoring will be performed with a standard 12- lead ECG.
Clinical Laboratory Tests. Blood samples for clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry) and urinalyses will be collected at every visit and analyzed at the central laboratory. Hematology tests include total hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocyte, platelet and leukocyte counts with differential.
 Coagulation (screening only) includes INR and aPTT.
 Serum chemistry includes measurement of AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, creatinine, urea, glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, total protein, albumin, bicarbonate, LDH, blood urea nitrogen, chloride, and phosphate. Measurement of serum creatinine will be performed using reagents that have been calibrated to an isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) reference method.
 Urinalysis includes color, appearance, specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, leukocyte esterase, nitrite, bilirubin, urobilinogen and microscopy of sediment.
Pharmacokinetic Parameters. Non-compartmental pharmacokinetic parameters of AUC , AUC , C , t , k and half-life will be calculated from 0-t infinity max max el plasma migalastat hydrochloride concentrations and α-Gal A enzyme levels.
Pharmacokinetic parameters will be summarized by treatment using descriptive statistics.
The AUC , AUC ratios for each compound alone to the respective compound in 0-t infinity combination will be calculated. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data for those subjects receiving agalsidase alfa and agalsidase beta will be analyzed separately.
Statistical Analysis. The descriptive statistics (N, mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation, standard error, median, minimum and maximum) will be provided as appropriate. The effect of a compound on the co-administered compound will be evaluated by calculation of the individual (by subject) AUC and C ratios as follows: The AUC and C ratios will be expressed as a mean of the individual ratios and 90% confidence interval for the mean. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data for those subjects receiving agalsidase alfa and agalsidase beta will be analyzed separately. Results will be presented in tabular and graphic forms, as appropriate. All subjects who will be dosed with study medication and have sufficient data to generate reliable pharmacokinetic parameters will be included in the safety and pharmacokinetic analysis.
EXAMPLE 2: Dosing Regimen for the Treatment of Fabry Disease using Migalastat Hydrochloride and Agalsidase Migalastat HCl is a pharmacological chaperone for α-galactosidase A (α- Gal A) which increases the enzyme’s stability and proper folding. Migalastat may act by preventing α-Gal A inactivation by stabilizing the enzyme in the pH/temperature conditions of the blood. The objective for this study was to characterize the effects of 150 mg and 450 mg migalastat administered 2 hours before administration of agalsidase on the safety and plasma pharmacokinetics of agalsidase in subjects with Fabry Disease.
The objective for this study was also to characterize the effects of 150 mg and 450 mg migalastat on the plasma, skin, and PBMC pharmacokinetics of agalsidase in patients with Fabry Disease; to characterize the effect of plasma agalsidase on the plasma pharmacokinetics of migalastat; to evaluate urine GL-3 and plasma and urine lyso-GB3 prior to and 14 days post agalsidase infusion; and to assess antibody titer prior to agalsidase infusion.
Methods. The study was conducted according to the methods described in Example 1. Specifically, this was an open-label, single dose, non-randomized, fixed- sequence, 2-stage study. Stage 1 comprised of 3 periods: (1) agalsidase beta 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg (infusion for about 2 hours) or agalsidase alpha 0.2 mg/kg (infusion for about 40 min.) enzyme replacement montherapy (ERT); (2) ERT + 150 mg migalastat oral tablet (single dose) co-administration, migalastat administered 2 hrs. prior to ERT; and (3) 150 mg migalastat monotherapy.
Stage 2 was comprised of 2 periods in the same sequence as Stage 1 (i.e., Periods (1) and (2)), but with 3x150 mg migalastat oral tablets co-administered in Period 2 (i.e., 450 mg migalastat). Stage 2 comprised of the following 2 periods: (1) agalsidase beta 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg (infusion for about 2 hours) or agalsidase alpha 0.2 mg/kg (infusion for about 40 min.) enzyme replacement montherapy (ERT); and (2) ERT + 450 mg migalastat oral tablets co-administration. Migalastat administered 2 hrs. prior to ERT.
Treatment periods were separated by a minimum 14-day washout period. α-Gal A catalyzes the initial step in breakdown of substrate GL-3 in vivo. α-Gal A also acts on other substrates with the same α-bond such as the artificial low- molecular weight florescent substrate, 4-MUG. α-Gal A activity on 4-MUG was measured in vitro from plasma, skin, and PBMC samples following serial dilutions to dissociate migalastat. 6 patients with plasma, skin, and PBMC α-galactosidase A activity from Stage 1, Periods 1 and 2, were evaluated. Four patients received 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta ERT and 2 patients received 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta ERT during Period 1, and co- administration of 150 mg migalastat 2 hours prior to initiation of the same dose of ERT during Period 2. Duration of infusion was 2 hours for both periods with one exception: one patient receiving 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta had an unbalanced infusion, wherein the patient was infused for 2 hrs and 40 min during Period 2, but was infused for only 2 hrs during Period 1.
Results: Plasma α-Gal-A Activity Increases with Co-Administration of migalastat For co-administration with migalastat (Period 2) relative to ERT alone (Period 1), the following mean increases in plasma α-Gal A activity AUC (Area Under the Curve) were observed: Mean increases for the 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta infusion:  3.0-fold for 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta (N=4)  Individual patient increases: 2.0-, 2.2-, 3.4-, and 4.2-fold  The mean increase excluding the 2.0-fold patient with the unbalanced infusion duration: 3.3-fold Mean increases for the 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta infusion:  1.9-fold for 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta (N=2)  Individual patient increases: 1.6- and 2.2-fold Plasma α-Gal A activity composites of the six patients for Periods 1 and 2 are shown in Figure 1. Plasma α-Gal A activity AUC increases for all patients following co-administration with migalastat is shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows the partial AUC’s for each sampling time which show increased activity plasma α-Gal A activity with co-administration of 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta and 150 mg migalastat.
Skin α-Gal-A Activity Increases with Migalastat For co-administration with migalastat (Period 2) relative to ERT alone (Period 1), the following mean increases in skin α-Gal A activity were observed: Mean increases for the 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta infusion:  2.6-fold for 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta on Day 2 (N=3, 1 patient had a lost sample)  Individual patient increases: 2.8-, 3.9-, and 1.1-fold  No change in skin activity from Period 1 on Day 7 Mean increases for the 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta infusion:  1.9- and 1.5-fold for 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta on Days 2 and 7, respectively (N=2)  Individual patient increases: 1.6- and 2.1-fold on Day 2, 1.7- and 1.2-fold on Day 7 The increase in skin α-Gal A activity following co-administration of 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta and 150 mg migalastat are shown in Figures 4-6.
Figure 5A shows the increase in skin α-Gal A activity following co-administration of 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta and 150 mg migalastat in the patient who received a 40 min. longer ERT infusion during Period 2 than the other patients.
PBMC α-Gal-A Activity Increases with Migalastat For co-administration with migalastat (Period 2) relative to ERT alone (Period 1), the following mean increases in PBMC α-Gal A activity were observed: Mean increases for the 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta infusion:  2.3-, 2.0-, and 2.2-fold for 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta (N=4) on Days 2, 7, and 14, respectively  Individual patient increase ranges: 1.4-3.1-, 1.4-2.3-, and 1.7-2.8- fold on Days 2, 7, and 14, respectively  No change in skin activity from Period 1 on Day 7 Mean increases for the 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta infusion:  1.8-, 4.8- and 3.5-fold for 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta (N=2) on Days 2, 7 and 14, respectively  Individual patient increases: 1.1- and 2.5-, 3.6- and 6.0-, and 1.7- and 5.4-fold on Days 2, 7, and 14, respectively The increase in PBMC α-Gal A activity following co-administration of 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta and 150 mg migalastat are shown in Figures 7-9.
Conclusion: 150 mg migalastat interaction with 0.5 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta resulted in α-Gal A activity increases for: All patients’ plasma α-Gal A AUC (N=6) All patients’ skin α-Gal A on Day 2 (N=5), but only 3 of 5 patients on Day 7 All patients’ PBMC α-Gal A on Days 2, 7, and 14 (N=6) 150 mg migalastat interaction with 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta resulted in 2-to 4-fold increases in α-galactosidase A activity AUC, 1.1- to 3.9-fold increases in Day 2 skin α-galactosidase A activity, and 1.1- to 6.0-fold increases in PBMC α-galactosidase A activity for Days 2, 7, and 14 relative to agalsidase beta alone.
On Day 7, four patients had increased α-galactosidase A activity in skin following co- administration.
The 150 mg migalastat dose increased enzyme activity of the half-dose of agalsidase beta (0.5 mg/kg) better than the full dose (1.0 mg/kg) up to 24 hrs post dose in plasma, skin, and PBMC’s; however the reverse was true (1.0 mg/kg > 0.5 mg/kg) at 7 and 14 days post dose in skin and PBMC’s. A table summarizing the results is shown in Figure 10.
For agalsidase beta alone, all patients had increased PBMC α-Gal A activity relative to baseline at all time points, however 2 patients had decreased skin α- Gal A activity on Day 2 relative to baseline following the 0.5 mg/kg infusion.
EXAMPLE 3: Dosing Regimen for the Treatment of Fabry Disease using Migalastat Hydrochloride and Agalsidase The following Example is an update of the study described in Example 2.
The present example includes an additional subject for a total of seven subjects.
The objective of the present example is to evaluate the safety and PK of two doses of migalastat HCl (150 mg and 450 mg) co-administered with ERT (agalsidase) in males diagnosed with Fabry disease.
Methods This is an ongoing, open-label, non-randomized, 2-stage, fixed- sequence study. Stage 1 is comprised of 3 periods.
 Period 1: IV infusion of ERT alone.
 Period 2: migalastat HCl (150 mg) orally administered 2 hours prior to IV infusion of the ERT (at the same dose as in period 1).
 Period 3: oral administration of migalastat HCl 150 mg alone.
Eligible patients: Male, 18 to 65 years old with Fabry Disease.
Inclusion criteria:  Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18-35.
 Initiated treatment with agalsidase at least 1 month before dosing.
 Estimated creatinine clearance (CLcr) ≥ 50 mL/min at screening.
Exclusion criteria:  A documented transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke, unstable myocardial infarction within 3 months before screening.
 Clinical significant unstable cardiac disease.
 Sensitivity to or concomitant therapy with iminosugars (e.g., miglustat, miglitol).
Subjects receive their current dose and regimen of agalsidase beta alone at one infusion (0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg for about 2 hrs) followed by oral migalastat HCl 150 mg administered two hours prior to agalsidase beta at their next infusion.
Five of the current seven subjects received 0.5 mg/kg every two weeks and two of the seven subjects received a dose of 1.0 mg/kg every four weeks.
In stage 2, a 450 mg dose of migalastat HCl will be studied.
Stages 1 and 2 will be repeated in unique subjects with an ERT infusion of agalsidase alpha (0.2 mg/kg for about 40 min).
Samples: Serial blood samples were taken to 24 hours post dose for plasma α-Gal A activity and protein levels each period. Blood samples for α-Gal A activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were taken at predose and on Days 1, 2, 7, and 14 of each period. Punch biopsies for skin α-Gal A activity were taken at predose Period 1 and on Days 2 and 7 during Periods 1 and 2. Plasma α-Gal A activity PK parameters include C , T , AUC , AUC , and t½. Pharmacokinetic parameters are calculated using max max 0-t 0-inf standard non-compartmental procedures (WINNONLIN version 5.0 or higher). α-Gal A activity in plasma skin, and PBMC lysates were measured by a fluorescence enzyme assay using 4-methylumbelliferyl-α-D-galactopyranoside (4-MUG). α-Gal A activity on 4 MUG was measured in vitro following serial dilutions to dissociate migalastat.
Western blot analysis of α-Gal A protein were performed on plasma samples using anti-human α-Gal A antibody. An rhα-Gal A (agalsidase) standard curve was run to calculate the appropriate concentration of α-Gal protein in each sample.
The safety parameters included adverse events (AEs), vital signs, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis), electrocardiograms (ECGs), physical examinations, and use of concomitant medications.
Results: Preliminary results are available for Stage 1, Periods 1 and 2.
Patient Disposition and Demographics: Seven patients with plasma, skin and PBMC α-Gal A activity from Stage 1, Periods 1 and 2 were evaluated.
 All 7 patients received agalsidase beta alone during Period 1; all patients were co-administered 150 mg migalastat HCl 2 hours prior to initiation of agalsidase beta during Period 2.
 Two patients (identified as Subjects A and B) received IV infusions of agalsidase beta 1.0 mg/kg for 2-hr durations.
 Five patients (identified as Subjects C, D, E, F, and G) received IV infusions of agalsidase beta 0.5 mg/kg for 2-hr durations with 1 exception: Subject E was infused 2 hrs and 40 min during Period 2, but was infused for 2 hours during Period 1.
 All subjects were males with Fabry Disease aged 44-61 years, body mass index (BMI) ranged from 20.9-29.1 kg/m and estimated CLcr ranged from 54-88 mL/min. The genotype for each subject is presented in Figure Safety: To date, 12 adverse events (AEs) have been reported, one of which was serious. The serious AE was a transient ischemic attack (TIA) which occurred after the screening visit, but prior to dosing, was moderate in severity, required hospitalization, and was considered unrelated to study drug by the investigator. The TIA resolved without sequalae. All other AEs were mild in severity, all considered unrelated to study drug, and most resolved without treatment. Three AEs in three different subjects are ongoing: premature atrial contractions, atrial flutter, and lower extremity edema, all unrelated to study drug.
Plasma α-Gal A Activity: The plasma AUC (area under the curve) of α-Gal A activity versus treatment with 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta alone, and treatment with 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta in combination with 150 mg migalastat HCl (with inserted means and standard deviations) activity-time profiles is shown in Figure 12 for subjects A and B. The combined treatment of 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta and 150 mg migalastat HCl resulted in 2.2 and 1.6 fold increases in α-Gal A activity for subjects A and B, respectively, compared to treatment with 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta monotherapy.
The plasma AUC (area under the curve) of α-Gal A activity versus treatment with 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta alone, and treatment with 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta in combination with 150 mg migalastat HCl (with inserted means and standard deviations) activity-time profiles is shown in Figure 13 for subjects C-G. The combined treatment of 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta and 150 mg migalastat HCl resulted in a 2.0 to 4.2 fold increase in α-Gal A activity compared to treatment with 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta monotherapy.
Plasma α-Gal A activity increased at all time points for most subjects for co-administration relative to enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) alone with one exception. Subject E received an unbalanced infusion, 40 minutes longer during period 2 which caused relative decreased enzyme activity during the infusion phase. However, all Subject E time points post peak activity were increased relative to ERT alone.
Additionally, consistent with Eng et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet. 68:711-722 (2001), exposures increased in a non-linear manner for α-Gal A activity.
For co-administration with migalastat HCl (Period 2) relative to ERT alone (Period 1), all subjects had increased plasma α-Gal A activity AUC as shown in Figures 12 and 13. The mean increase in plasma α-Gal A activity AUC was 3.0-fold for 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta. Excluding the 2.0-fold patient with the unbalanced infusion duration, the mean increase was 3.2-fold. The mean increase in plasma α-Gal A activity AUC was 1.9-fold for 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta.
Skin α-Gal A activity Figure 14 shows that treating subjects with 0.5 mg/kg or 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta in combination with 150 mg migalastat HCl increased α-Gal A activity in Day 2 skin samples compared to enzyme monotherapy treatment alone. Figure 15 shows α-Gal A activity in Day 7 skin samples following monotherapy and combined therapy with agalsidase beta and 150 mg migalastat HCl . The following mean increases in skin α-Gal A activity were observed: 2.6-fold and 1.4-fold on Days 2 and 7, respectively, for 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta (N=5), and 1.9-and 1.5-fold on Days 2 and 7, respectively, for 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta (N=2).
PMBC α-Gal A activity The following mean increases in PBMC α-Gal A activity were observed: 2.4-, 1.9-, and 2.1-fold on Days 2, 7, and 14, respectively, for 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta (N=5), and 1.8-, 4.8- and 3.5-fold for 1.0 mg/kg (N=2) agalsidase beta on Days 2, 7 and 14, respectively.
Western Blot analysis No change was observed in plasma α-Gal A protein by Western Blot analysis of Period 2 (co-administration) / Period 1 (ERT alone) AUC ratio for 5 out of 7 subjects. However, 2 subjects, (Subject C who received 0.5 mg/kg agalsidase beta and Subject G who receive 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta) had 20% increases in protein amount following co-administration relative to ERT alone (data not shown).
Conclusion The interaction of 150 mg migalastat with 0.5 mg/kg and 1.0 mg/kg agalsidase beta resulted in α-Gal A activity increases in plasma, skin, and PBMCs. Co- administration of 150 mg migalastat HCl with agalsidase beta was generally safe and well-tolerated.
