Résumé

Lenacapavir (LEN) is a novel, first-in-class, multistage, selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) capsid function recently approved for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection. The purpose of this multicohort study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, metabolism, excretion, safety, and tolerability of LEN following a single intravenous (IV) infusion of 10 mg LEN or 20 mg [ Twenty-one healthy adult participants were enrolled into the study and received either a single IV dose of 10 mg LEN (n = 8 active, n = 3 placebo; cohort 1) or a single IV dose of 20 mg [ Between the 10 mg and 20 mg doses of LEN, the observed plasma exposure of LEN doubled, while the elimination half-life was similar. Following administration of 20 mg [ The results of this mass balance study indicated that LEN was majorly eliminated as intact LEN via the feces. The renal pathway played a minor role in LEN elimination (0.24%). In addition, no major circulating metabolites in plasma or feces were found, indicating minimal metabolism of LEN.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
Lenacapavir (LEN) is a novel, first-in-class, multistage, selective inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) capsid function recently approved for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection. The purpose of this multicohort study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, metabolism, excretion, safety, and tolerability of LEN following a single intravenous (IV) infusion of 10 mg LEN or 20 mg [
METHODS METHODS
Twenty-one healthy adult participants were enrolled into the study and received either a single IV dose of 10 mg LEN (n = 8 active, n = 3 placebo; cohort 1) or a single IV dose of 20 mg [
RESULTS RESULTS
Between the 10 mg and 20 mg doses of LEN, the observed plasma exposure of LEN doubled, while the elimination half-life was similar. Following administration of 20 mg [
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The results of this mass balance study indicated that LEN was majorly eliminated as intact LEN via the feces. The renal pathway played a minor role in LEN elimination (0.24%). In addition, no major circulating metabolites in plasma or feces were found, indicating minimal metabolism of LEN.
