Abstract

Mirogabalin is a selective calcium channel α2δ subunit ligand being developed to treat neuropathic pain. In accordance with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance, the human abuse potential of mirogabalin (15-105 mg) was examined, relative to placebo, diazepam (15 or 30 mg), and pregabalin (200 or 450 mg), in two single-dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled crossover studies in recreational polydrug users who could discern between positive comparator and placebo. The primary endpoint was maximum observed effect (E max) for Drug Liking Visual Analog Scale. At therapeutic doses, mirogabalin Drug Liking E max did not differ significantly from placebo and was significantly lower than diazepam and pregabalin. This indicates therapeutic doses mirogabalin may have less abuse potential versus diazepam or pregabalin. At supratherapeutic doses (⩾4× therapeutic dose), mirogabalin had significantly higher Drug Liking E max than placebo, but lower E max than pregabalin. In both studies, therapeutic doses of mirogabalin demonstrated limited evidence of abuse potential.

Introduction

Current guidelines for the management of neuropathic pain from the International Association for the Study of Pain include a range of options for first-line pharmacological therapy, including calcium channel α2δ subunit ligands, such as gabapentin and pregabalin.[1] High-quality evidence supports the use of these agents;[2-4] however, both gabapentin and pregabalin are associated with a high incidence of adverse events, particularly dizziness and somnolence.[5] In addition, concerns have been expressed about the potential for misuse, abuse, or diversion of gabapentin and pregabalin, especially among individuals with a history of opioid or benzodiazepine use.[6] There is, therefore, an unmet need for a well-tolerated calcium channel α2δ ligand with a low potential for abuse. Mirogabalin monobenzenesulfonate (mirogabalin; Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) is a preferentially selective ligand of α2δ calcium channels.[7] A phase II proof-of-concept trial demonstrated analgesic efficacy in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP).[8,9] Results will soon be available from phase 3 studies in patients with DPNP (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02318706) and postherpetic neuralgia (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02318719). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that all agents with central nervous system (CNS) activity be assessed for their abuse potential, so that this information can be included in the regulatory assessment.[10] Based on preclinical data and the similarity to gabapentin and pregabalin, which are both controlled substances, a human abuse potential study was required for mirogabalin. In accordance with FDA guidance, two independent studies were conducted to examine the human abuse potential of mirogabalin in adults with a history of recreational drug use. One study compared mirogabalin with placebo and diazepam (the diazepam study) and one study compared mirogabalin with placebo and pregabalin (the pregabalin study).

Methods

Study design

The diazepam and pregabalin studies both were approved by the Institutional Review Boards and were performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines.[11] All participants provided written informed consent prior to study entry. In both studies, the primary objective was to compare the abuse potential of mirogabalin relative to placebo, diazepam, and pregabalin in recreational polydrug users. The primary endpoint was the maximal effect (Emax) on the bipolar Drug Liking visual analog scale (VAS). High, good drug effects, and bad drug effects (unipolar) were also assessed using a VAS. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety and tolerability and the pharmacokinetics (PK) of mirogabalin, diazepam, and pregabalin. The PK parameters were calculated from plasma concentrations using a noncompartmental approach and included maximum serum concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (Tmax), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), and elimination half-life (t½). Safety and tolerability were evaluated by assessing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), physical examination findings, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs), and standard laboratory tests.

Diazepam study

This was a single-center, randomized, balanced, placebo- and active-controlled, crossover study with two phases (Figure 1A); a double-blind qualification phase to ensure that eligible participants could discriminate the effects of the active control (diazepam) compared with placebo and an assessment phase (see Supplemental Materials). Participants reported to the clinic in the afternoon before period 1 dosing and remained in the clinic until checkout (day 3 of period 5). Qualifying participants were randomly assigned to a predetermined treatment sequence according to a two 5 × 5 Williams square design (10 sequences in total) and received a single dose of each of the following in a double-blind, double-dummy, crossover manner: mirogabalin 15 mg, mirogabalin 45 mg, diazepam 15 mg, diazepam 30 mg, and placebo (Figure 1A). Each participant was followed by serial assessments for 48 hours postdose. Treatment periods were separated by ⩾5 days between dose administrations to eliminate carryover effects.

Study design: (A) diazepam study; (B) pregabalin study. Participants were healthy male and female recreational polydrug users aged between 18 and 55 years. They were required to have used CNS depressants for nontherapeutic reasons on ⩾10 occasions in the past 5 years, including use of ⩾1 CNS depressant in the past 3 months (details in Supplemental Materials). Participants with a substance abuse disorder or those seeking treatment for addiction-related disorders were excluded. All participants were required to have a negative drug screen at baseline and to abstain from recreational drug use for the duration of the study.

Pregabalin study

The pregabalin study consisted of a dose escalation phase, followed by a qualification phase, and then an assessment phase (Figure 1B, Supplementary Materials). The dose escalation phase was included to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of mirogabalin (60–105 mg) for use in the assessment phase. Based on data from the dose escalation phase, three doses were chosen for the assessment phase: the proposed therapeutic dose (15 mg), a low supratherapeutic dose (60 mg), and a high supratherapeutic dose (105 mg). The assessment phase had a six-period, randomized, placebo- and active-controlled, balanced crossover design (Figure 1B, Part 2). Participants reported to the clinic on the day before period 1 dosing and remained in the clinic until check-out (day 3 of period 6). Qualifying participants were randomly assigned to a predetermined treatment sequence according to a 6 × 6 Williams square design, and received a single dose of each of the following: mirogabalin 15 mg, mirogabalin 60 mg, mirogabalin 105 mg, pregabalin 200 mg, pregabalin 450 mg, and placebo. Treatment periods were separated by ⩾3 days between dose administrations to eliminate carryover effects. The pregabalin study included healthy men and women aged 18 to 55 years who were recreational polydrug users, using the same exclusion criteria as in the diazepam study (see Supplemental Materials for a detailed definition). Patients were assessed for 48 h after each administration and completed 6 VAS at baseline and at predefined intervals up to 48 h postdose; these were the 4 abuse-potential VAS (Drug Liking, High, Good Drug, Bad Drug), Any Effect VAS, and Alertness/Drowsiness VAS. Participants also completed three additional VASs: one asking about similarity to other drugs (at 12 h postdose), one asking about their overall liking for the drug (at 12, 24, and 48 h postdose), and another asking about whether they would take the drug again (at 12, 24, and 48 h postdose) (see the Supplemental Materials for more details). Blood samples were collected at baseline, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h for PK assessment. Each participant was scheduled to repeat the process, receiving each possible treatment in a randomized order, with ⩾3 days of washout between each assessment. Participants remained at the research facility throughout the study, checking out on day 3 of period 6. Plasma concentrations of mirogabalin were measured using validated liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method. Detailed bioanalytic methods can be found in the Supplemental Materials.

Statistical analysis

In both studies, safety analysis was undertaken in all participants who received at least one dose of randomized medication or placebo, and had at least one relevant postdose assessment. The pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis was undertaken in all participants who were randomized into the assessment phase, received at least one dose of study drug, and had at least one postbaseline PD measurement (completer analysis set). Baseline demographic characteristics were summarized using arithmetic mean, median, range, and standard deviation (SD) for continuous variables, and frequency and percentage for categorical variables. PD values at each time point were summarized by treatment using descriptive statistics. For each VAS, the Emax or Emin and time-averaged area under the effect curve (TA-AUE; for placebo and pregabalin only) were calculated. A mixed-effects model was used to compare the primary PD endpoint (Drug Liking VAS Emax), as well as secondary PD endpoints (e.g., Emax, Emin, TA-AUE), where applicable, between treatments. The model included treatment, period, and sequence effect as fixed effects, and participant nested within treatment sequence as random effect. Baseline (predose) measurements were included as a covariate, where applicable. In the pregabalin study, mirogabalin was assumed to have no more abuse potential than placebo if the upper limits obtained from the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the estimated differences in the PD parameters were <11 points. PK values were summarized by study using arithmetic mean, SD, and coefficient of variation percent (CV%). AUC and Cmax were also calculated using geometric mean and CV for geometric mean. Differences in PK parameters between treatments were calculated by ratios of geometric least squares mean and 95% CIs.

Results

Participant disposition, demographics, and baseline characteristics

For the diazepam study, 79 patients entered the qualification phase, 38 patients entered the assessment phase, and 32 completed all assessments (Supplemental Figure 1). For the pregabalin study, 126 participants entered the qualification phase, 56 participated in the assessment phase, 44 received all 6 treatments, and 41 completed the study (Supplemental Figure 1). Most participants were male (84.2% in the diazepam study and 80.4% in the pregabalin study [assessment phase]) and Black or African American (68.4% [diazepam] and 71.4% [pregabalin]). The mean (SD) age of participants was 31.1 (6.99) years in the diazepam study and 30.4 (8.65) years in the pregabalin study. Baseline demographic characteristics for the assessment phase populations are listed in Table 1. All participants in both studies reported prior drug use (Table 1).

Mean profile of Drug Liking visual analog scale scores by treatment: (A) diazepam study; (B) pregabalin study. The therapeutic dose of mirogabalin 15 mg was not significantly different from placebo on the primary endpoint of Emax for Drug Liking VAS assessment (Figure 3 and Table 2). In contrast, the positive controls (diazepam and pregabalin) showed significantly greater Drug Liking effects than placebo and mirogabalin 15 mg. The low and high supratherapeutic doses of mirogabalin (60 and 105 mg) demonstrated significantly greater mean Emax effects compared with placebo on the primary endpoint. In the diazepam study, the time to Emax occurred at approximately 0.5 h for mirogabalin 15 mg, and at 1.5 h postdose for both doses of diazepam and mirogabalin 45 mg. In the pregabalin study, median time to Emax occurred later for the two supratherapeutic doses of mirogabalin compared with pregabalin (8 and 7 h postdose for mirogabalin 60 and 105 mg, respectively, compared with 4 h postdose for both doses of pregabalin).

Pharmacodynamic secondary measures

The therapeutic dose of mirogabalin 15 mg was not significantly different from placebo on any of the secondary endpoints (Table 3). In contrast, the low and high supratherapeutic doses of mirogabalin (60 and 105 mg) demonstrated significantly greater mean Emax effects compared with placebo on most secondary endpoints, including measures of balance of effects and positive and sedative effects. The therapeutic dose of mirogabalin 15 mg was associated with fewer positive effects relative to the positive controls of diazepam and pregabalin, respectively, in each study. In the pregabalin study, mirogabalin 15 mg was also associated with significantly less sedation relative to pregabalin 200 mg. Comparisons between pregabalin 450 mg and mirogabalin 105 mg revealed significantly greater effects of mirogabalin 105 mg only on some of the secondary endpoints (e.g., positive effects, sedative effects, and any effects). Like pregabalin, mirogabalin showed a positive dose–effect relationship, with the 60 mg dose numerically higher than that of the 15 mg dose, and the 105 mg dose numerically higher than that of the 60 mg dose on most measures.

In the pregabalin study, pregabalin (particularly at the 450 mg dose) was rated as being similar to benzodiazepines, and less so to opioids, on the Drug Similarity VAS. Mirogabalin 15 mg was not rated as being similar to any drugs of abuse; however, the two supratherapeutic doses were rated as being similar to benzodiazepines.

Pharmacokinetic results

The concentration-time profile of mirogabalin in the two studies is shown in Figure 4. Plasma concentrations and exposure parameters (Cmax and AUC) for mirogabalin increased proportionally with higher doses. The median Tmax was approximately 1 hour at all tested doses in both studies, and the mean t½ was approximately 3.5 hours (Supplemental Table 1).

Safety results

No deaths or serious adverse events occurred in either study. With the exception of one severe adverse event that occurred with diazepam 30 mg, all adverse events were either mild or moderate in intensity. One participant withdrew from the assessment phase of the diazepam study because of cellulitis after receiving diazepam 30 mg, and one withdrew from the assessment phase of the pregabalin study due to mild postural orthostatic tachycardia that was considered to be unrelated to study drug (pregabalin 450 mg). The most common TEAE reported in the diazepam study was sedation, which occurred in 25 participants overall (65.8%), but none in the mirogabalin 15-mg group (Supplemental Table 2). Other events commonly reported in this study were postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (23.7% overall) and a feeling of relaxation (26.3% overall). TEAEs (reported by ⩾5% of participants in any single treatment group) in the pregabalin study included euphoric mood, somnolence, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, dry mouth, upper respiratory tract infection, muscle spasms, headache, and dizziness (Supplemental Table 2). A dose-dependent trend was observed in the incidence of the most common TEAEs following administration of mirogabalin and pregabalin, with the exception of dizziness, which did not occur in a dose-dependent manner following administration of pregabalin. The incidence of the most common TEAEs was generally comparable between mirogabalin 15 mg and placebo, and between mirogabalin 60 mg and pregabalin 450 mg, and higher for mirogabalin 105 mg than all of the other treatments, including pregabalin 450 mg. No clinically relevant laboratory or ECG abnormalities were noted by the investigator in either study, and no participant experienced hepatic transaminase elevations >3× upper limit of normal.

Discussion

These two studies demonstrate that the planned therapeutic dose of mirogabalin (15 mg) shows limited potential for abuse, based on maximal Drug Liking scores that were not significantly different from placebo in recreational polydrug users. In addition, based on the primary endpoint of Drug Liking Emax, mirogabalin 15 mg is less likely to have abuse potential compared with therapeutic doses of diazepam or pregabalin. The effects of mirogabalin on most of the tested PD parameters appeared dose-related. However, even at a supratherapeutic dose of 45 mg, the maximal effects of mirogabalin on Drug Liking, Positive Effects High, and Good Drug Effects were not significantly different from those of placebo and were less marked than those of diazepam 15 or 30 mg. Only in the pregabalin study, when mirogabalin was administered at doses four or seven times higher than the planned therapeutic dose, did the Emax for the primary and secondary PD parameters show a significant difference relative to placebo. The effects of mirogabalin 15 mg on Drug Liking, Positive Effects High, Good Drug Effects, and Any Effects were significantly less marked than the effects of pregabalin 200 mg on these parameters, whereas the effects of mirogabalin 60 mg or 105 mg were significantly more marked than those of pregabalin 200 mg. Thus, mirogabalin must be administered at doses at least four times higher than the therapeutic dose to show a more marked effect on parameters of abuse potential than pregabalin 200 mg. In addition, as onset of effect and time to peak effect of mirogabalin were delayed with increasing doses, abuse potential of mirogabalin would not likely result in greater abuse potential because drug users may not be willing to wait 8 h to experience the positive effects of the drug. These findings demonstrate that single doses of mirogabalin are well tolerated. In the diazepam study, the incidence of adverse events with mirogabalin 15 mg (8.6%) or 45 mg (27.0%) was similar or lower than the incidence with placebo (28.6%), and lower than after single doses of diazepam 15 (69.4%) or 30 mg (80.0%). The planned therapeutic dose of mirogabalin was similarly well tolerated in the pregabalin study. The incidence of adverse events with mirogabalin 15 mg was comparable with the incidence in the placebo group (36.0% versus 36.5%, respectively). The incidence of adverse events was higher after the low and high supratherapeutic doses of mirogabalin (67.3% with 60 mg and 90.0% with 105 mg), and comparable to the incidence with pregabalin 200 mg (47.1%) or 450 mg (82.4%). The type of adverse events reported by participants receiving mirogabalin in these studies were similar to those reported in a phase II clinical trial with mirogabalin in patients with neuropathic pain secondary to diabetic neuropathy and were mostly mild or moderate in severity.[9] The PK profile of mirogabalin was consistent with previous reports in patients receiving single doses of mirogabalin.[12] The Tmax of a single dose of mirogabalin 5 mg is 1.3 h with a t½ of 2.8 h in individuals with normal renal function,[12] which is similar to the Tmax of approximately 1 h and t½ of approximately 3 h across all doses of mirogabalin reported here for recreational drug users. Although these studies examined only a single dose of mirogabalin, both were carefully designed to identify abuse potential based on FDA guidelines.[10] Key strengths include the use of a qualification phase to identify appropriate participants; use of both placebo and active comparators; randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, crossover designs; examination of a range of doses, including supratherapeutic doses; use of specific VAS assessing potential drug effects; and conduct of the study in a controlled laboratory setting to prevent other drug use.[10,13] The significant effects of the two positive controls (diazepam and pregabalin) compared with placebo on the primary endpoint and most of the secondary endpoints demonstrate the validity of the study and sensitivity of the measures for detecting abuse-related effects.

Conclusions

Overall, the results of these studies demonstrate that mirogabalin had limited abuse potential at the therapeutic dose of 15 mg and is well tolerated in participants with a history of recreational polydrug use. At supratherapeutic doses (e.g. 60 and 105 mg), mirogabalin has abuse potential greater than placebo, but similar to that of pregabalin in a highly sensitive population of recreational polydrug users.
