项目摘要

ABSTRACT/SUMMARY The U.S. is experiencing a crisis of opioid misuse, addiction, and overdose; in the most recent year, there were over 100,000 drug-related overdose deaths, 75% of which involved opioids. Current pharmacotherapies for opioid use disorder (OUD) target mu opioid peptide (MOP) receptors, one of five classes of opioid receptors. These therapies include the full MOP agonist methadone, the partial MOP agonist buprenorphine, and the MOP antagonist naltrexone. There are several drawbacks in using these medications to treat OUD, which include the potential for abuse, development of physical dependence, and risk of overdose, particularly for methadone and buprenorphine. Buprenorphine and naltrexone also trigger severe withdrawal symptoms. There is thus an urgent need for an improved therapeutic for the treatment of OUD. Cebranopadol (TRN-228) is a first-in-class synthetic drug developed for its dual-action mechanism in treating pain, mediated by high affinity and potency for both MOP and nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptor (NOP). NOP receptor activation has been associated with reduced development of tolerance, abuse-related behavior, addiction, and physical dependence. In this UG3/UH3 proposal, Park Therapeutics is developing TRN-228 as a first-in-class dual MOP/NOP agonist that can be used as a safe and effective treatment for OUD. Preliminary nonclinical and clinical data indicate that cebranopadol has low potential for abuse and physical dependence and produces milder respiratory depression compared to pure MOP agonists such as morphine and oxycodone. TRN-228 also decreases morphine, heroin, and cocaine self-administration in rats and did not induce withdrawal when given to opioid-dependent rats. The UG3 phase of this proposal will test whether oral TRN-228 is a safe and potentially effective alternative treatment for OUD, based on the following Specific Aims: 1) determining the effects of TRN-228 on intravenous fentanyl self-administration and fentanyl-induced respiratory depression in opioid-dependent rats, 2) determining the IV abuse potential of TRN-228, and 3) assessing the ability of TRN-228 to suppress withdrawal. Upon meeting the UG3 Go/No-Go milestones, Park will progress to the UH3 phase which will demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of TRN-228 in decreasing opioid use with low risk of withdrawal or abuse, which will be accomplished by 4) determining the effects of TRN-228 on fentanyl-induced respiratory depression in opioid-tolerant participants and 5) evaluating the ability of TRN-228 to block the subjective effects of hydromorphone. These studies will significantly advance the field by establishing the safety and preliminary efficacy of TRN-228. Successful completion of these aims will guide future efforts to establish a clinical program for FDA approval.

摘要/总结美国正在经历阿片类药物滥用、成瘾和过量的危机；在最近的一年里，有超过 100,000 人因吸毒过量死亡，其中 75% 涉及阿片类药物。目前的药物治疗阿片类药物使用障碍 (OUD) 靶向 mu 阿片肽 (MOP) 受体，这是五类阿片受体之一。这些疗法包括完全 MOP 激动剂美沙酮、部分 MOP 激动剂丁丙诺啡和 MOP 拮抗剂纳曲酮。使用这些药物治疗 OUD 有几个缺点，其中包括滥用的可能性、身体依赖性的发展以及过量的风险，特别是美沙酮和丁丙诺啡。丁丙诺啡和纳曲酮也会引发严重的戒断症状。因此有一个紧迫的任务需要改进的 OUD 治疗方法。 Cebranopadol (TRN-228) 是一种一流的合成药物因其治疗疼痛的双重作用机制而开发的药物，通过对两者的高亲和力和效力介导 MOP 和伤害感受肽/孤啡肽 FQ 受体 (NOP)。 NOP 受体激活与减少耐受性、虐待相关行为、成瘾和身体依赖性的发展。在这个UG3/UH3 根据提案，Park Therapeutics 正在开发 TRN-228 作为一流的双 MOP/NOP 激动剂，可以被用作 OUD 的安全有效的治疗方法。初步非临床和临床数据表明头孢拉多滥用和身体依赖性的可能性较低，并产生较轻微的呼吸抑制与吗啡和羟考酮等纯 MOP 激动剂相比。 TRN-228 还可以减少吗啡、海洛因、和可卡因在大鼠中自我给药，并且当给予阿片类药物依赖性大鼠时不会诱导戒断。这该提案的 UG3 阶段将测试口服 TRN-228 是否是一种安全且可能有效的替代疗法对于 OUD，基于以下具体目标：1) 确定 TRN-228 对静脉注射芬太尼的影响阿片类药物依赖大鼠的自我给药和芬太尼诱导的呼吸抑制，2) 确定 IV TRN-228 的滥用潜力，以及 3) 评估 TRN-228 抑制戒断的能力。见面后 UG3 Go/No-Go 里程碑，Park 将进入 UH3 阶段，这将证明治疗效果 TRN-228 减少阿片类药物使用且戒断或滥用风险较低，这将通过 4) 完成确定 TRN-228 对阿片类药物耐受参与者中芬太尼诱导的呼吸抑制的影响，以及 5)评估TRN-228阻断氢吗啡酮主观效应的能力。这些研究将通过确定 TRN-228 的安全性和初步功效，显着推进了该领域的发展。成功的这些目标的完成将指导未来建立临床计划以供 FDA 批准的努力。
