Relative Bioavailability of Dordaviprone (ONC201) is Not Affected by Co‐Administration of the Proton‐Pump Inhibitor Rabeprazole

Article

Author: Mullin, Mark J. ; Faison, Shamia L. ; Morrison, Marion ; Batonga, Joelle ; Naderer, Odin ; Bartkus, Angela ; Arumugham, Thangam ; Tippin, Tim

Abstract:

Dordaviprone (ONC201) is a novel, orally administered, anti‐cancer, small molecule imipridone with demonstrated antitumor effects in patients with glioma. Dordaviprone in vitro solubility is significantly reduced at pH >4.5. Concomitant use of acid reducing agents (ARAs) may therefore impact dordaviprone solubility and bioavailability. This open‐label, single‐sequence, three‐period crossover study evaluated the effect of proton‐pump inhibitor rabeprazole on dordaviprone pharmacokinetics (PK). Periods were consecutive and comprised of period 1 (days 1‐3), period 2 (days 4‐9), and period 3 (days 10‐13). In period 1, participants received a single oral 625 mg dose of dordaviprone on day 1. In period 2, participants received six consecutive days of QD 20 mg rabeprazole alone. In period 3, patients received one oral dose of 20 mg rabeprazole (the seventh consecutive daily dose), followed 2 h later by a single 625 mg dordaviprone oral dose. PK blood samples were collected and analyzed from pre‐dose 72 h following dordaviprone administration in periods 1 and 3. Dordaviprone exposure PK parameters were similar following administration of dordaviprone alone or with rabeprazole. Geometric mean ratios and 90% CIs for dordaviprone exposure parameters with and without rabeprazole following dordaviprone administration fell within bioequivalence limits of 80.00%‐125.00% for Cmax (97.19% [86.43‐109.28]), AUClast (102.21% [95.19‐109.75]), and AUCinf (102.27% [95.21‐109.86]), indicating no effect of multiple oral doses of rabeprazole on dordaviprone relative bioavailability. Six of the 16 participants reported treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs); dordaviprone‐related TEAEs were reported by three participants and were limited to mild nausea and dizziness. No dordaviprone dose adjustment or ARA treatment modification is warranted.

A Novel Self-Healing Anticorrosive Inhibitor for Pipeline Corrosion Protection in Geothermal Well Systems

Article

Author: Jin, Xiaoguang ; Ma, Jiayun ; Wang, Lei ; Cao, Linglong ; Deng, Song ; Yan, Xiaopeng

The growing demand for energy coupled with the need for environmental sustainability underscores the importance of advancing renewable energy technologies. Among these, geothermal energy stands out as a clean and sustainable resource with substantial potential for heating and power generation. However, the corrosion of materials in geothermal facilities presents a significant operational challenge. This study explores the development of a self-healing anticorrosive coating based on microcapsule technology to address this issue. The proposed coating releases corrosion inhibitors from the microcapsules upon damage, enabling autonomous repair. Microcapsules were fabricated with an oil-soluble imidazoline oleate corrosion inhibitor encapsulated in urea-formaldehyde resin and incorporated into an epoxy resin matrix. The resulting composite coating demonstrated enhanced self-healing properties. Key parameters, including the core-to-wall ratio, healing duration, and microcapsule concentration, were systematically examined for their influence on self-healing efficiency. The performance of the composite was rigorously evaluated through simulated geothermal water corrosion tests under conditions representative of geothermal systems. The results indicate that microcapsules with a core-to-wall ratio of 3:1, using OP-10 as an emulsifier at 0.5 wt % of the core material, exhibited optimal structural integrity and encapsulation efficiency (74.6% core content, 85.7% coating efficiency). Additionally, epoxy resin composites with microcapsule concentrations greater than 20 wt % exhibited effective self-healing of artificially induced damage, demonstrating superior anticorrosive properties crucial for geothermal applications. These findings suggest that the developed self-healing composite holds great potential for mitigating corrosion in geothermal energy systems, contributing to the durability and efficiency of geothermal facilities.

TRAIL agonists rescue mice from radiation-induced lung, skin, or esophageal injury

Article

Radiotherapy can be limited by pneumonitis, which is impacted by innate immunity, including pathways regulated by TRAIL death receptor DR5. We investigated whether DR5 agonists could rescue mice from toxic effects of radiation and found that 2 different agonists, parenteral PEGylated trimeric TRAIL (TLY012) and oral TRAIL-inducing compound (TIC10/ONC201), could reduce pneumonitis, alveolar wall thickness, and oxygen desaturation. Lung protection extended to late effects of radiation including less fibrosis at 22 weeks in TLY012-rescued survivors versus unrescued surviving irradiated mice. Wild-type orthotopic breast tumor-bearing mice receiving 20 Gy thoracic radiation were protected from pneumonitis with disappearance of tumors. At the molecular level, radioprotection appeared to be due to inhibition of CCL22, a macrophage-derived chemokine previously associated with radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis. Treatment with anti-CCL22 reduced lung injury in vivo but less so than TLY012. Pneumonitis severity was worse in female versus male mice, and this was associated with increased expression of X-linked TLR7. Irradiated mice had reduced esophagitis characterized by reduced epithelial disruption and muscularis externa thickness following treatment with the ONC201 analog ONC212. The discovery that short-term treatment with TRAIL pathway agonists effectively rescues animals from pneumonitis, dermatitis, and esophagitis following high doses of thoracic radiation exposure has important translational implications.

Chimerix engaged with 7 other biopharmas before choosing Jazz\'s $935M deal—here\'s why it won

Chimerix engaged with numerous biopharmas—termed parties A through G—about potential strategic transactions related to its oncology candidate.\n Before Jazz Pharmaceuticals inked a $935 million deal for Chimerix earlier this month, the biotech had been in talks with six other pharmas and one biotech about several different potential offers.Ultimately, Chimerix’s board went with Jazz’s offer due to its cash payable nature and the recent downward trend in biopharma financial markets, plus a general volatility tied to escalating political and global trade tensions, according to Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed Friday. Buying Chimerix gives Jazz control of the brain cancer drug candidate dordaviprone, also known as ONC201, a small molecule designed to treat recurrent H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma.But Jazz wasn’t first on site. Since August 2023, Chimerix had been in discussions about potential licensing deals for ONC201 with a “global pharmaceutical company,” known as “party A” in the filings. Chimerix steadily entered discussions with more companies—termed parties B through G—about potential strategic transactions related to the oncology candidate, per the docs.Jazz was one of the last contenders to enter the scene, reaching out after Chimerix publicly announced on Dec. 9, 2024, its plan to submit a new drug application seeking accelerated approval for ONC201 before the year ended. On Dec. 18 and Dec. 19, Chimerix’s board reviewed its offers from several different companies, including a potential equity financing, a possible ex-U.S. licensing transaction for ONC201 and a potential acquisition. The board ultimately decided to move forward with multiple options at the same time. On the same day—Dec. 19—party A submitted a proposal to acquire ONC201 and related assets for an upfront payment of $350 million and a contingent payment of $100 million upon FDA approval. Chimerix management reached out to the pharma and said the proposal was insufficient.Less than a month later, party A tried again, submitting a new proposal to acquire Chimerix for an upfront payment of $6.50 per share and one contingent value right (CVR) per share, representing the right to receive a one-time payment of $1.50 upon FDA approval of ONC201 no later than June 2027, plus a one-time payment of $1.50 once ONC201 achieved yearly net sales in the U.S. above $700 million at a date before 2030.According to the filing, Chimerix’s board directed management to discuss transaction terms with party A in a way designed to increase the economic value and certainty of that proposal, with the view that alternative offers from other potential counterparties could be increased if they had a better nonbinding indication from party A.Meanwhile, bidders started dropping. Party F lost interest after Chimerix told the company that it had received a proposal with a higher value than party F’s offer of around $5 per share. And party G—a biotech—discontinued conversations regarding a potential acquisition on the belief that it wouldn’t be able to compete with other interested parties. On Jan. 26, party A came back again with a revised proposal to acquire Chimerix on the same terms as before but with the deadlines to hit the payment-triggering milestones removed.Chimerix management told party A on Jan. 30 that the revised offer was still not good enough.On Feb. 6, Jazz outlined an acquisition offer for an upfront payment of $5.50 per share and one CVR per share representing the right to receive one-time payments of $1 upon FDA approval, 25 cents upon receipt of pricing approval in at least three major European markets and $1.50 once global net sales of ONC201 were above $500 million in a calendar year.Chimerix told Jazz the offer was insufficient but that Chimerix would provide additional due diligence materials so Jazz could increase its offer.Ten days later, Chimerix publicly announced that the FDA had accepted its new drug application seeking accelerated approval, with the application receiving priority review and a decision expected by Aug. 18 of this year.On March 3, Jazz submitted its final proposal: $8.55 per share in all cash. On the same day, party A shared a proposal to acquire Chimerix for an upfront payment of $7.50 per share and one CVR per share representing the right to receive a one-time payment of $2, payable if ONC201 received full approval by the FDA before Aug. 31, 2032. The CVR would not be payable if the primary endpoint of Chimerix’s ongoing phase 3 study was not achieved or if Chimerix received a complete response letter.That night, the board met to review the two offers and determined Jazz to be the winning bidder. The next afternoon, Chimerix’s board unanimously decided that Jazz’s offer was in the best interests of its stockholders. The board took into account several different factors when reaching its recommendation that stockholders accept the proposal, according to the documents.One consideration was that Jazz’s offer price represented a 70% premium over Chimerix’s closing price per share on March 3 and an 89% premium over the weighted average price of shares during the preceding 30-day trading period.The biotech board also considered the fact that the offer was payable fully in cash, allowing stockholders to realize immediate value.Furthermore, they weighed the risks of remaining a standalone company and general risks tied to market conditions. Among the potential risks identified were “the challenges faced by the biopharmaceutical industry,” including potential competition; “complex regulatory and political regimes”; and an “evolving pricing environment,” particularly in light of “the increasing scrutiny of pharmaceutical pricing and proposals to address the perceived high cost of pharmaceuticals.”Another consideration was “the current state of the U.S. and global economies, including the recent downward trend in the biopharmaceutical financial markets, U.S. trade policies and tariffs.” The board also cited rising inflation and volatility resulting from escalating political and global trade tensions in its ultimate decision.

The buildup to Chimerix's $935M exit to Jazz, with more than half a dozen parties intrigued

Chimerix began attracting deal interest in its experimental brain tumor treatment about 18 months before it signed a $935 million cash exit to Jazz Pharmaceuticals earlier this month, according to a Friday regulatory filing . The filing highlights the broad interest that Chimerix was able to garner for dordaviprone, a potential first-ever medicine for H3 K27M-mutant diffuse glioma. Chimerix nabbed the asset as part of its Oncoceutics acquisition in 2021. The small molecule, also known as ONC201, is up for an FDA approval decision by Aug. 18. An undisclosed global biopharma company approached Chimerix in August 2023 about a potential ex-US licensing deal for the investigational drug. That initial confidentiality agreement with “Party A” kickstarted a year and a half of discussions between the North Carolina biotech and more than half a dozen other unnamed drugmakers interested in dordaviprone, according to the Friday filing. Jazz ultimately won with its $8.55 per-share cash offer. Jazz’s approach began in December 2024 , when its head of corporate development reached out to Chimerix a few days after the biotech said it was seeking accelerated approval of dordaviprone. A week later, on Dec. 19, Party A said it would be willing to acquire dordaviprone and related assets for $350 million upfront plus an additional $100 million if the FDA approved the medicine. The deal terms weren’t good enough, Chimerix replied. A month later, Party A came back and said it would be willing to acquire all of Chimerix for $6.50 per share, plus contingent payments if the biotech reached certain FDA and sales milestones. Meanwhile, Party F asked whether a $5 per-share offer was “attractive.” Chimerix’s financial advisor, Centerview, told the company it had already gotten a higher offer from another bidder. Over the next few weeks, Parties F, E and others dropped out of the discussions. Party F cited “perceived risks around Chimerix’s ongoing Phase 3 ACTION Study,” and Party E cited its “challenges in assessing risk in neuro-oncology,” according to Friday’s regulatory document. For its part, Jazz’s interest began at $5.50 per share on Feb. 6, plus various contingent value rights upon FDA approval, European reimbursement approvals and net sales milestones. Then, on Feb. 18, Chimerix said the FDA accepted its NDA with priority review status. Chimerix CEO Mike Andriole had already telephoned that message to Jazz CEO Bruce Cozadd and a Party A “senior executive” four days before. Weeks later, Jazz revised its proposal to $8.55 per share in cash, removing the riskiness of contingent value rights, which sometimes don’t come to fruition for acquired companies’ shareholders. On that same day, March 3, Party A said it would offer $7.50 per share upfront and a $2 per-share CVR if Chimerix snagged full FDA approval for dordaviprone by Aug. 31, 2032. But the CVR wouldn’t be payable if the Phase 3 trial failed or if Chimerix got a complete response letter from the FDA. In the end, Jazz beat Party A.
