Bulevirtide

DB15248

biotech approved investigational

Deskripsi

Hepatitis D is considered the most severe type of viral hepatitis and leads to the rapid development of cirrhosis, severe decompensation of liver function, and an increased risk of mortality.A226340,L30235 Until recently, there have been extremely limited treatments available for Hepatitis D infection.A226305

Bulevirtide, also known as Hepcludex, is a first-in-class entry inhibitor for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis D infection developed by MYR Pharmaceuticals, now part of Gilead. It was first approved for use in the EU on May 28, 2020; bulevirtide has been granted PRIME scheme eligibility and Orphan Drug Designation by the European Medicines Agency.L30215 In the USA, bulevirtide has been granted Orphan Drug Designation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation.L30260,L30275 Due to potentially beneficial synergistic effects in treating chronic Hepatitis D, bulevirtide is also under investigation in clinical trial NCT03852433 (Phase 2b Study of Bulevirtide With Peginterferon Alfa-2a) in Patients With CHD. Completion of this clinical trial is anticipated in early 2023.L30240

Profil Farmakokinetik

Waktu Paruh (Half-Life) The half-life of bulevirtide ranges between 4 and 7 hours in healthy adults.[L30290]
Volume Distribusi The volume of distribution of bulevirtide is estimated to be lower than total body water.[L30290] In animals, bulevirtide distributes into the liver, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, and bladder.[L30215]
Klirens (Clearance) The clearance after of bulevirtide after subcutaneous administration (CL/F) in healthy volunteers ranged from 7.98 L/h (±2.02) to 62 L/h (±16.7), depending on the dose administered.[L30215] The clearance of bulevirtide decreases as the dose increases.[L30290]

Absorpsi

Human pharmacokinetic data for bulevirtide is limited in the literature. In rats, bulevirtide administered by subcutaneous injection is rapidly absorbed with a Cmax of 4 to 6 hours.L30215 The estimated bioavailability is 85% in humans, and steady-state concentrations are expected to occur within weeks of initiating treatment.A226375,L30290 The AUC for bulevirtide after a 2mg subcutaneous dose was found to be approximately 46 ng/ml.h with a Tmax of 0.5 hours.L30215

Metabolisme

To date, metabolism studies have not been conducted on bulevirtide. It is expected to be catabolized by peptidases to smaller peptides and amino acids, with no active metabolites.L30215,L30290

Rute Eliminasi

Elimination through target (NTCP) binding is expected to be the main route of elimination for bulevirtide. In healthy volunteers, bulevirtide was not found to be excreted in the urine.L30290
