Abstract P3-207 BACKGROUND STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS PHARMACOKINETICS Study Design In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, single center, multiple ascending dose study, healthy men age 21-50 years were randomized to receive 0.1, 0.3 or 1 mg LGD-4033 or placebo once- daily over 21 days. Liver function tests (LFTs), fasting lipids, hematocrit, PSA, ECGs and serum sex hormones were monitored throughout the treatment period and the subsequent 5-week observation period. Primary Objectives To assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of LGD-4033. Secondary Objectives To assess pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LGD-4033. Exploratory Objectives To assess the effects of treatment with LGD-4033 on: Lean body mass (LBM) measured by (DEXA) scan Maximal voluntary leg press strength measured by 1-RM method Stair climbing power and speed Trend analysis of change from baseline up to day 28 was computed using a mixed-model analysis of repeat measures. Placebo subjects from the 3 cohorts were pooled for analysis. Sample size: PBO (placebo) N=29; 0.1 mg N=17; 0.3 mg N=10; 1.0 mg N=11 Testosterone administration increases muscle mass and strength, but concerns regarding potential adverse effects on the prostate have restrained enthusiasm for its use as anabolic therapy. SARMs are a new class of androgen receptor (AR) ligands that are tissue-selective and being developed to treat muscle wasting associated with cancer, acute and chronic illness and age-related muscle loss. LGD-4033 is a novel non-steroidal, oral SARM that binds to AR with high affinity (Ki of ~1 nM) and selectivity. In animal models, LGD-4033 demonstrated anabolic activity in muscles, anti-resorptive and anabolic activity in bones, and robust selectivity for muscle versus prostate. A previous Phase I single ascending dose study established safety and tolerability of LGD-4033 up to doses of 22 mg. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I study, the safety and tolerability of LGD-4033 was evaluated. Figure 1: Dose proportional increase in systemic exposure on days 1 and 21. Table 1: Related treatment-emergent adverse events. CONCLUSIONS In young healthy men: LGD-4033 was safe and well tolerated at all doses following daily oral administration for 3 weeks. No clinically significant changes in LFTs, PSA, hematocrit or ECG were seen. Positive trends in lean body mass and functional measures were seen, consistent with anabolic activity.

BACKGROUND

STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS

PHARMACOKINETICS

Study DesignIn this double-blind, placebo-controlled, single center, multiple ascending dose study, healthy men age 21-50 years were randomized to receive 0.1, 0.3 or 1

mg LGD-4033 or placebo once-

daily over 21 days. Liver function tests (LFTs), fasting lipids, hematocrit, PSA, ECGs

and serum sex hormones were monitored throughout the treatment period and the subsequent 5-week observation period.

Primary ObjectivesTo assess the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of LGD-4033.

Secondary ObjectivesTo assess pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LGD-4033.

Exploratory ObjectivesTo assess the effects of treatment with LGD-4033 on:

Lean body mass (LBM) measured by (DEXA) scan

Maximal voluntary leg press strength measured by 1-RM method

Stair climbing power and speed

Trend analysis of change from baseline up to day 28 was computed

using a mixed-model analysis of repeat measures. Placebo subjects from the 3 cohorts were pooled for analysis. Sample size: PBO (placebo) N=29; 0.1 mg N=17; 0.3 mg N=10; 1.0 mg N=11

Testosterone administration increases muscle mass and strength, but concerns regarding potential adverse effects on the prostate have restrained enthusiasm for its use as anabolic therapy.

SARMs are a new class of androgen receptor (AR) ligands that are tissue-selective and being developed to treat muscle wasting associated with cancer, acute and chronic illness and age-related muscle loss.

LGD-4033 is a novel non-steroidal, oral SARM that binds to AR with high affinity (Ki

of ~1 nM) and selectivity.

In animal models, LGD-4033 demonstrated anabolic activity in muscles, anti-resorptive and anabolic activity in bones, and robust selectivity for muscle versus prostate.

A previous Phase I single ascending dose study established safety and tolerability of LGD-4033 up to doses of 22 mg.

In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I study, the safety and tolerability of LGD-4033 was evaluated.

Figure 1: Dose proportional increase in systemic exposure on days 1 and 21.

Table 1: Related treatment-emergent adverse events.

CONCLUSIONSIn young healthy men:

LGD-4033 was safe and well tolerated at all doses following daily oral administration for 3 weeks.

No clinically significant changes in LFTs, PSA, hematocrit or ECG were seen.

Positive trends in lean body mass and functional measures were seen, consistent with anabolic activity.
