BI 1356, a Novel and Selective Xanthine Based DPP-4 Inhibitor, Demonstrates Good Safety
`and Tolerability with a Wide Therapeutic Window
`
`Poster No. 0586P
`
`ABSTRACT
`BI 1356 is a xanthine analogue, which exhibits a high potency for DPP-4 inhibition,
`increases the half-life of circulating incretin hormones, and improves glucose
`homeostasis in preclinical studies.
`
`In a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled single rising dose study in healthy male
`volunteers aged 21-65 years, BI 1356 was administered at doses ranging from 2.5 to
`600 mg once daily to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and
`pharmacodynamics. BI 1356 was well tolerated. There were no serious adverse events
`and no hypoglycaemic episodes were observed. The incidence of any adverse event (AE)
`(28% for BI 1356, 38% for placebo) or of drug related AEs (19% vs. 31%) was not higher
`for BI 1356 compared to placebo. The most common AEs reported were headache,
`influenza-like illness and nausea with an incidence comparable between BI 1356 and
`placebo. No clinically relevant deviations in laboratory parameters (haematology,
`coagulation, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis) were reported. ECGs were centrally
`evaluated by a specialised provider and did not show any clinically relevant deviations or
`any indication of a QT prolonging effect up to and including the 600 mg dose.
`
`The exposure of BI 1356 increased less than proportionally from 2.5 to 5 mg, while Cmax
`and AUC increased more than proportionally from 25 to 100 mg and approximately
`proportionally for doses ranging from 100 to 600 mg. Renal excretion was low and does
`not constitute the main pathway for elimination of BI 1356. After single doses of 2.5 mg
`and 5 mg BI 1356, DPP-4 activity was reduced by 73% and 86% within 3 h, respectively.
`Twenty-four hrs after administration of 25-600 mg BI 1356, mean plasma DPP-4 inhibition
`was greater than 90%.
`
`In summary, BI 1356 was well tolerated and safe. The results of the pharmacokinetic and
`pharmacodynamic profile after single doses demonstrate the potency and full 24 hrs
`duration of action of BI 1356. Based on an estimated therapeutic dose of 5 mg, the
`therapeutic window of BI 1356 is expected to be >100 fold.

`•Exposure of BI 1356 increased less than proportionally from 2.5 to 5 mg. Cmax and AUC increased more than
`proportionally from 25 to 100 mg and approximately proportionally for doses ranging from 100 to 600 mg.
`•The terminal half-life ranged from 70-80 hrs for samples collected up to 120 hrs post-dose, and to 184 hrs for samples
`collected up to 192 hrs. The long terminal half-life can be explained by tight binding of BI 1356 to plasma DPP-4 protein.
`The effective half-life is in the range of 10-30 hrs (see also Poster No. 0588P)
`•Renal excretion of BI 1356 was below 1% for doses up to 5 mg and increased dose-dependently

`
`INTRODUCTION
`Type 2 diabetes is characterised by insulin resistance and progressive
`failure in insulin secretion. Current oral antidiabetic agents cannot prevent
`the progressive failure of pancreatic ß-cells, leading to secondary drug
`failure.
`A novel approach in the treatment of diabetes targets the incretins (e.g.
`GLP-1), hormones secreted in the intestine in response to food intake.
`GLP-1 regulates insulin and glucagon secretion. DPP-4 inhibitors increase
`plasma levels of intact GLP-1. BI 1356 is a potent, novel, orally available,
`selective inhibitor of DPP-4 (see also Poster Nos. 0588P and 0594P).
`The current study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability,
`pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single rising doses
`of BI 1356 in healthy men.
`
`OBJECTIVES
`•Safety and tolerability of BI 1356 following administration of single rising
`oral doses of 2.5, 5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 600 mg BI 1356 in healthy
`men
`•Exploration of the PK and PD parameters of BI 1356 after single doses
`
`METHODS
`
`Subjects
`• Healthy male volunteers from ≥21 to ≤65 years of age and with a BMI
`≥18.5 to ≤29.9 kg/m2
`• Written informed consent
`Study design
`• BI 1356 was administered as solution for doses 2.5 and 5 mg and as
`tablets for doses 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 600 mg
`• Study drug was administered in the morning after an overnight fast
`• Pharmacokinetic profiling was performed for up to 192 hours
`• DPP-4 activity was determined as a pharmacodynamic marker by
`incubating diluted EDTA plasma with Ala-Pro-AFC as substrate and
`measuring the increase in absorbance over time
