BACKGROUND: Emapticap pegol (NOX-E36) is a Spiegelmer® that specifically binds
and inhibits the pro-inflammatory chemokine C-C motif-ligand 2 (CCL2) (also
called monocyte-chemotactic protein 1). The objective of this exploratory study
was to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the renoprotective and
anti-diabetic potential of emapticap in type 2 diabetic patients with
albuminuria. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa
study was initiated in 75 albuminuric type 2 diabetics. Emapticap at 0.5 mg/kg
and placebo were administered subcutaneously twice weekly for 12 weeks to 50 and
25 patients, respectively, followed by a treatment-free phase of 12 weeks.
RESULTS: Twice weekly subcutaneous treatment with emapticap over 3 months was
generally safe and well tolerated and reduced the urinary albumin/creatinine
ratio (ACR) from baseline to Week 12 by 29% (P < 0.05); versus placebo a
non-significant ACR reduction of 15% was observed (P = 0.221). The maximum
difference, 26% (P = 0.064) between emapticap and placebo, was seen 8 weeks after
discontinuation of treatment. At Week 12, the HbA1c changed by ?0.31% in the
emapticap versus +0.05% in the placebo group (P = 0.146). The maximum difference
for HbA1c was observed 4 weeks after the last dose with ?0.35% for emapticap
versus +0.12% for placebo (P = 0.026). No relevant change in blood pressure or
estimated glomerular filtration rate was seen between the treatment groups
throughout the study. A post hoc analysis with exclusion of patients with major
protocol violations, dual RAS blockade or haematuria increased the ACR difference
between the two treatment arms to 32% at Week 12 (P = 0.014) and 39% at Week 20
(P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS: Inhibition of the CCL2/CCL2 receptor axis with
emapticap pegol was generally safe and well tolerated. Beneficial effects on ACR
and HbA1c were observed in this exploratory study, which were maintained after
cessation of treatment. Taken together, emapticap may have disease-modifying
effects that warrant further investigation in adequately powered confirmatory
studies.
