The Specific Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist ZD4054: Preclinical and Clinical Results
چکیده انگلیسی

ContextZD4054 is a specific endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist being investigated for the treatment of hormone-resistant prostate cancer (HRPC). ZD4054 binds specifically to the ETA receptor, with no detectable activity at the ETB receptor. In preclinical studies, ZD4054 inhibited endothelin (ET-1)-mediated changes in cellular invasiveness in vitro, and inhibited angiogenesis and growth of tumour xenografts in vivo. Consistent with its specific binding profile, ZD4054 inhibited ETA-receptor-mediated antiapoptotic events while allowing ETB-receptor-mediated proapoptotic signalling.Evidence acquisitionThe preclinical and clinical activity of ZD4054 is reviewed.Evidence synthesisIn the clinical setting, stable levels of circulating ET-1 following single ZD4054 doses up to 240 mg demonstrated the absence of ZD4054 activity at the ETB receptor. ZD4054 is cleared principally via the urine, with a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 8–12 hours and with little accumulation after once-daily oral dosing.In a Phase 2 trial, patients with metastatic HRPC who were pain free or mildly symptomatic for pain were randomized to once-daily oral tablets of ZD4054 10 mg (n = 107), or 15 mg (n = 98), or matched placebo (n = 107). ZD4054 was generally well tolerated in this population, with an adverse effect profile consistent with its known pharmacological activity. The most common adverse effects were headache, peripheral oedema and nasal congestion. At the primary analysis there was no statistically significant difference in time to progression between the ZD4054-treated groups and placebo (hazard ratio [HR]: ZD4054 10 mg, 0.88 [80% CI 0.71, 1.09]; ZD4054 15 mg, 0.83 [0.66, 1.03]). However, a promising signal for prolonged overall survival was observed, which was sustained at a subsequent analysis (HR versus placebo: ZD4054 10 mg, 0.55 [80% CI 0.41, 0.73]; ZD4054 15 mg, 0.65 [0.49, 0.86]).ConclusionsThese results support the strategy of targeting the ETA receptor in prostate cancer, and mandate further investigation of ZD4054 in Phase 3 clinical trials.
