5.1. Pharmacodynamic properties

Pharmacotherapeutic group: Not yet assigned
ATC Code: Not yet assigned

Mechanism of action

Pemafibrate activates PPARα by binding to this receptor and regulates the target gene expression, leading to decreased plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration, decreased triglyceride-rich lipoprotein, decreased apolipoprotein (Apo) C-3, and increased HDL-cholesterol.

(1) The activation of PPARα by pemafibrate was more potent than the activation of PPARγ or PPARδ, indicating the selectivity of pemafibrate to PPARα (in vitro).

(2) Pemafibrate inhibited TG synthesis in the liver (rats).

(3) Pemafibrate significantly reduced TG secretory rate (rats).

(4) Pemafibrate increased LPL activity (rats).

(5) Pemafibrate significantly reduced plasma concentrations of ApoC-3 and Angiopoietin-like Protein 3, which negatively regulate LPL activity; moreover, pemafibrate inhibited the gene expression (Apoc3, Angptl3) in the liver. In addition, pemafibrate upregulated the expression of genes (Aco, Cpt1a) involved in β-oxidation of free fatty acids that inhibits LPL activity (rats).

(6) Pemafibrate facilitated plasma TG clearance (rats).

(7) Pemafibrate increased plasma concentration of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a protein that reduces TG concentration and increases HDLcholesterol concentration (rats).

Pharmacodynamic effects

Pharmacological action

(1) Effect of reducing plasma lipid

When pemafibrate was orally administered to rats with high fructose-induced hypertriglyceridemia, plasma TG concentration was decreased in a dosedependent manner.

(2) Effect of increasing HDL-cholesterol

When pemafibrate was orally administered to human ApoA-1 transgenic mice, plasma concentration of HDL-cholesterol and concentration of human ApoA-1 were increased.

(3) Anti-arteriosclerotic effect

When pemafibrate was orally administered to LDL-receptor deficient mice under high fat/high cholesterol diet, the area of lipid deposition area in the aortic sinus was decreased.

Clinical efficacy

Phase ⅔ Comparative Confirmatory Study with Fenofibrate

In patients with dyslipidemia who had high TG and low HDL-cholesterol levels, placebo, 0.2 mg/day or 0.4 mg/day of PARMODIA (twice daily after breakfast and dinner), or micronized fenofibrate capsules of 100 mg/day or 200 mg/day (once daily after breakfast) was administered for 12 weeks. The percent change in fasting serum TG was as presented in the following table, which shows the superiority of PARMODIA groups over the placebo group, and non-inferiority of PARMODIA 0.2 mg/day and 0.4 mg/day groups over the micronized fenofibrate capsule 200 mg/day group.

Phase 3 Long-term Administration Study in Dyslipidemia Patients with High TG Levels

In patients with dyslipidemia who had high TG levels, PARMODIA 0.2 mg/day (a dose increase to PARMODIA 0.4 mg/day was allowed as necessary in subjects with inadequate response to PARMODIA 0.2 mg/day at Week 12 and after) was administered twice daily before or after breakfast and dinner for 52 weeks. The percent change from the baseline fasting serum TG of 249.7±77.5 mg/dL (2.82±0.88 mmol/L) (Mean ± SD [the same applies hereinafter], n=189) at Week 24 and Week 52 were -48.77±20.47% and -45.93±21.84%, respectively (Last observation carried forward [LOCF] method was used). LDL-cholesterol value was 119.3±31.7 mg/dL (3.09±0.82 mmol/L) at baseline, and 116.6±29.1 mg/dL (3.02±0.75 mmol/L) at Week 52 (n=189).

Phase 3 Long-term Administration Study in Patients with Dyslipidemia and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

In patients with dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus, placebo/PARMODIA 0.2 mg/day (starting from Week 24, the treatment was switched from placebo to PARMODIA 0.2 mg/day), PARMODIA 0.2 mg/day, or PARMODIA 0.4 mg/day was administered twice daily before or after breakfast and dinner for 52 weeks. The percent change in fasting serum TG at Week 24 and Week 52 (LOCF) was as presented in the following table.

When a single dose of PARMODIA 0.1 mg was orally administered to healthy Japanese adult males (16 subjects), the ratio [90% CI] of geometric means of fasted state to fed state for Cmax and AUC0-t were 0.873 [0.803, 0.950] and 0.911 [0.863, 0.961].

Absorption

The absolute bioavailability of pemafibrate was 61.5% (Data for non-Japanese subjects).

Plasma protein binding ratio

The human plasma protein binding ratio of pemafibrate was ≥99%.

Metabolism

(1) When a single dose of 14C-pemafibrate was orally administered to healthy adult subjects, the main metabolites in plasma were an oxidized form at the benzyl position, and a mixture of glucuronide conjugate of dicarboxylated form and N-dealkylated form (Data for non-Japanese subjects).

(2) Pemafibrate is a substrate of CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, CYP3A7, UGT1A1, UGT1A3, and UGT1A8 (in vitro).

Excretion

(1) When a single dose of 14C-pemafibrate was administered to healthy adult subjects, excretion of radioactivity in urine and feces up to 216 hours after administration was 14.53% and 73.29%, respectively (Data for non-Japanese subjects). Pemafibrate is excreted mainly in the feces.

(2) Pemafibrate is a substrate of P-gp, BCRP, OATP1A2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT2, and NTCP (in vitro).

Drug interactions

Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Fatty Liver and Patients with Hepatic Cirrhosis

When a single dose of PARMODIA 0.2 mg was orally administered to Japanese patients with fatty liver and patients with hepatic cirrhosis, the ratios of pharmacokinetic parameters (patients with fatty liver or with hepatic cirrhosis to subjects with normal hepatic function) were as presented in the following table. Compared with subjects with normal hepatic function, the exposure was higher in patients with fatty liver and patients with hepatic cirrhosis.

Pharmacokinetics in Patients with Renal Impairment

When a single dose of PARMODIA 0.2 mg was orally administered to Japanese patients with renal impairment (mild, moderate, severe, or end-stage renal failure), the ratios of pharmacokinetic parameters (patients with renal impairment to subjects with normal renal function) were as presented in the following table. Compared with subjects with normal renal function, the exposure was higher in patients with renal impairment; however, the exposure did not increase as the renal function reduced.

PARMODIA was orally administered at a dose of 0.1 mg twice daily in morning and evening for 12 weeks to patients with dyslipidemia accompanied by high TG value and renal impairment (severe renal impairment with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m² or on dialysis and mild-to-moderate renal impairment with eGFR ≥30 and <60 mL/min/1.73 m²). The ratio and 90% CI of geometric means of AUC0-τ in patients with severe renal impairment compared to those with mild-to-moderate renal impairment (control group) at Week 12 were as presented in the following table. The level of exposure did not increase in patients with severe renal impairment.

5.3. Preclinical safety data

In a carcinogenicity study in mice (≥0.075 mg/kg/day), an increase in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas and hepatocellular adenomas was observed. In a carcinogenicity study in rats (≥0.3 mg/kg/day in male rats and ≥1 mg/kg/day in female rats), an increase in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas, hepatocellular adenomas, pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas, pancreatic acinar cell adenomas, testicular Leydig cell adenomas, and thyroidal follicular epithelial cell adenomas was observed. All of these findings are considered to be specific to rodents.
