The mGlu5 receptor negative allosteric modulator mavoglurant reduces escalated cocaine self-administration in male and female rats

Article

Author: Whiting, Kimberly E ; Volkow, Nora D ; Vendruscolo, Janaina C M ; Vendruscolo, Leandro F ; Acri, Jane B ; Koob, George F

AbstractRationaleCocaine use disorder (CUD) is a brain disorder for which there is no Food and Drug Administration-approved pharmacological treatment. Evidence suggests that glutamate and metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGlu5) play critical roles in synaptic plasticity, neuronal development, and psychiatric disorders.ObjectiveIn the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the mGlu5 receptor is functionally involved in intravenous cocaine self-administration and assessed the effects of sex and cocaine exposure history.MethodsWe used a preclinical model of CUD in rats that were allowed long access (LgA; 6 h/day) or short access (ShA; 1 h/day) to intravenous cocaine (750 µg/kg/infusion [0.1 ml]) self-administration. Rats received acute intraperitoneal or oral administration of the mGlu5 receptor negative allosteric modulator mavoglurant (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg) or vehicle.ResultsBoth intraperitoneal and oral mavoglurant administration dose-dependently reduced intravenous cocaine self-administration in the first hour and in the entire 6 h session in rats in the LgA group, with no effect on locomotion. In the ShA group, mavoglurant decreased locomotion but had no effects on cocaine self-administration. We did not observe significant sex × treatment interactions.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that the mGlu5 receptor is involved in escalated cocaine self-administration. These findings support the development of clinical trials of mavoglurant to evaluate its potential therapeutic benefits for CUD.

BACKGROUNDFXLEARN, the first-ever large multisite trial of effects of disease-targeted pharmacotherapy on learning, was designed to explore a paradigm for measuring effects of mechanism-targeted treatment in fragile X syndrome (FXS). In FXLEARN, the effects of metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5) negative allosteric modulator (NAM) AFQ056 on language learning were evaluated in 3- to 6-year-old children with FXS, expected to have more learning plasticity than adults, for whom prior trials of mGluR5 NAMs have failed.METHODSAfter a 4-month single-blind placebo lead-in, participants were randomized 1:1 to AFQ056 or placebo, with 2 months of dose optimization to the maximum tolerated dose, then 6 months of treatment during which a language-learning intervention was implemented for both groups. The primary outcome was a centrally scored videotaped communication measure, the Weighted Communication Scale (WCS). Secondary outcomes were objective performance-based and parent-reported cognitive and language measures.RESULTSFXLEARN enrolled 110 participants, randomized 99, and had 91 who completed the placebo-controlled period. Although both groups made language progress and there were no safety issues, the change in WCS score during the placebo-controlled period was not significantly different between the AFQ056 and placebo-treated groups, nor were there any significant between-group differences in change in any secondary measures.CONCLUSIONDespite the large body of evidence supporting use of mGluR5 NAMs in animal models of FXS, this study suggests that this mechanism of action does not translate into benefit for the human FXS population and that better strategies are needed to determine which mechanisms will translate from preclinical models to humans in genetic neurodevelopmental disorders.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClincalTrials.gov NCT02920892.FUNDING SOURCESNeuroNEXT network NIH grants U01NS096767, U24NS107200, U24NS107209, U01NS077323, U24NS107183, U24NS107168, U24NS107128, U24NS107199, U24NS107198, U24NS107166, U10NS077368, U01NS077366, U24NS107205, U01NS077179, and U01NS077352; NIH grant P50HD103526; and Novartis IIT grant AFQ056X2201T for provision of AFQ056.

Constrained numerical deconvolution using orthogonal polynomials

Article

Author: Maestre, J M ; Aarons, L ; Chanfreut, P

In this article, we present an enhanced version of Cutler's deconvolution method to address the limitations of the original algorithm in estimating realistic input and output parameters. Cutler's method, based on orthogonal polynomials, suffers from unconstrained solutions, leading to the lack of realism in the deconvolved signals in some applications. Our proposed approach incorporates constraints using a ridge factor and Lagrangian multipliers in an iterative fashion, maintaining Cutler's iterative projection-based nature. This extension avoids the need for external optimization solvers, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring constraints on inputs and outputs. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through two practical applications: the estimation of COVID-19 curves and the study of mavoglurant, an experimental drug. Our results show that the extended method presents a sum of squared residuals in the same order of magnitude of that of the original Cutler's method and other widely known unconstrained deconvolution techniques, but obtains instead physically plausible solutions, correcting the errors introduced by the alternative methods considered, as illustrated in our case studies.

STALICLA publishes pioneering phase 1b data on precision treatment for autism spectrum disorder in Biomedicines

STALICLA’s precision psychiatry study highlights strong EEG-based target engagement of STP1 treatment in defined subgroup of patients with autism and numerical improvement in core symptoms June 27, 2024 – STALICLA SA, a Swiss neuro precision biotech company dedicated to developing precision medicine-based treatments for neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, today announced the publication of a landmark phase 1b study with STP1, a novel combination therapy tailored for the treatment of a clinically and biologically defined subgroup of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), named ASD Phenotype 1 (ASD-Phen1). The results of the study were published in the peer-reviewed journal Biomedicines, in an article titled “Safety, Tolerability, and EEG-Based Target Engagement of STP1 (PDE3,4 Inhibitor and NKCC1 Antagonist) in a Randomized Clinical Trial in a Subgroup of Patients with ASD”. Lynn Durham, CEO of STALICLA, highlighted: “This study marks a significant milestone in the advancement of precision medicine for ASD. It is a first-of-its-kind stratification-based approach for clinical development in neurodevelopmental disorders, demonstrating the potential of precision medicine in ASD.” The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1b clinical trial evaluated the safety and tolerability of STP1, a combination of ibudilast and bumetanide, in ASD-Phen1 patients. The clinical trial (registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT04644003), involved two 14-day treatment phases of ASD-Phen1 patients receiving STP1 or placebo. The results showed that STP1 was well-tolerated with no significant adverse effects reported. Significant and dose-related reductions in gamma power were observed in the whole brains of patients taking STP1, particularly in regions associated with executive function and memory. Additionally, STP1 increased alpha 2 power in frontal and occipital regions, while improving habituation and neural synchronization to auditory chirps. Dr. Craig A. Erickson, Associate Professor, UC Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and the principal investigator of the study, remarked: “The electrophysiological signals from this study are remarkable and represent the strongest early trial target engagement signals our lab has seen in the autism field.” Dr. Laura Pérez-Cano, Head of Discovery at STALICLA and co-author of the study, added: “These findings not only highlight the potential of STP1 as a therapeutic option for ASD-Phen1 patients but also underscore the importance of combining biologically-based patient stratification with quantifiable outcome measures such as EEG that can then be correlated with behavioral measures.” By focusing on a biologically defined subgroup of ASD patients, STALICLA is moving closer to making personalized treatment options a reality for patients with ASD. This approach has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of ASD and other neuropsychiatric conditions. STALICLA is a global, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on advancing precision medicine for brain disorders. The company has developed a unique neuro precision development platform, DEPI, supported by clinical validation in a first indication: Autism Spectrum Disorder. Its lead neurodevelopmental disorder asset, STP1, is entering Phase 2 trials. Its lead neuropsychiatry asset, STP7 (Mavoglurant), fully funded by the US government, will soon be Phase 3 ready for Cocaine Use Disorder. ‎ The content above comes from the network. if any infringement, please contact us to modify.

STALICLA initiates U.S. Phase 3 enabling DDI study of STP7 (Mavoglurant) to treat cocaine use disorder

May 2, 2024 – STALICLA SA, a late-stage biotechnology company specializing in precision medicine for brain disorders, announces the First Patient First Visit (FPFV) for the company's drug-drug interaction (DDI) study of STP7 (Mavoglurant), an mGluR5 negative allosteric modulator, licensed to STALICLA by Novartis. The DDI study is the last regulatory requirement in a comprehensive Phase 2 program and completion is expected to trigger initiation of a Phase 3 study in the U.S. in 2025. Lynn Durham, CEO and Founder of STALICLA said, “This DDI study unlocks the opportunity under our Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. NIH National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) to begin Phase 3 trials for STP7 in 2025 to address the high unmet medical need of cocaine abuse globally. Results from successfully completed Phase 2 studies for cocaine use disorder (CUD) showed highly convincing and unprecedented efficacy results including increase in abstinence from cocaine use and reduction in co-morbid dependencies such as alcohol abuse with STP7 (Mavoglurant). In addition, STALICLA is investigating alternative therapeutic indications for STP7 (Mavoglurant) to benefit patients with other CNS conditions.” STP7 (Mavoglurant) is the most clinically advanced negative allosteric modulator of the glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5 NAM). As well as its role in addiction pathophysiology, mGluR5 has been implicated in mood disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Fragile X and autism spectrum disorder. Comprehensive clinical studies by Novartis of STP7 (Mavoglurant) to date have included over 1800 adults for up to 2 years, demonstrating good safety and tolerability and significant reduction in cocaine use and positioning STP7 (Mavoglurant) as a strong candidate therapy for substance use and other CNS disorders. STALICLA SA is a Swiss clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, pioneering precision treatment in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Its AI-driven precision neuro medicine platform has allowed to identify two precision small molecule drug candidates for autism spectrum disorder, STP1 and STP2, both planned to enter Phase 2 trials in 2024. Following the in-licensing of Mavoglurant from Novartis in 2023, STALICLA has also established an advanced mGluR5 NAM platform offering multi-faceted late-stage clinical development opportunities broadening STALICLA’s scope to address wider CNS disease unmet needs.
