Livoletide (AZP-531) is an analog of unacylated ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone that is thought to counteract the effects of acylated ghrelin. The drug was designed to improve glycaemic control and reduce weight. Livoletide participated in pivotal phase 2b/3 clinical study for the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome. In addition, the drug was studied in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Its pharmacokinetic profile, suitable for once daily dosing, and metabolic effects support further clinical development for T2D.

ACTIVE MOIETY
AIMS: To explore the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in humans of the unacylated ghrelin analogue AZP-531 designed to improve glycemic control and reduce weight. FINDINGS: AZP-531 was well tolerated. Single and multiple-dose PK parameters were similar. Maximal AZP-531 concentrations were typically reached at 1h post-dose. Cmax and AUC were dose-proportional. Mean t1/2 was 2-3h. In Part B, AZP-531 15undefinedg/kg and above significantly improved glucose concentrations, without increasing insulin levels, suggesting an insulin-sensitizing effect. AZP-531 decreased mean body weight by 2.6kg (vs 0.8kg for placebo). In Part C, glucose parameters improved in all groups, including placebo, suggesting a study effect in uncontrolled patients at baseline. Notwithstanding, AZP-531 60undefinedg/kg reduced HbA1c by 0.4% (vs 0.2% for placebo) and body weight by 2.1kg (vs 1.3kg for placebo). CONCLUSION: AZP-531 was well tolerated in this first-in-human study. Its pharmacokinetic profile, suitable for once-daily dosing, and metabolic effects support further clinical development for type 2 diabetes.
