A Phase 3 Superiority Study Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of SNP-ACTH (1-39) Gel Compared to Rituximab and FDA Approved Biosimilars in Adults With Primary Membranous Nephropathy (PMN) in a Two-Phase Adaptive Trial Design

The goal of the Phase 3a part of this clinical trial is to determine the optimal dose that will be used in the Phase 3b part of this clinical trial. The goal of the Phase 3b part is to assess the efficacy of SNP-ACTH (1-39) Gel relative to rituximab in patients with primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) at month 24.

ObjectivesInjectable tetracosactide hexa-acetate, ACTH 1-24 (Synacthen), is not marketed in many countries including India, whereas Injectable long acting porcine sequence, ACTH 1-39 (Acton Prolongatum®) is easily available and much cheaper. This study aimed to find the diagnostic accuracy of ACTH stimulation test using i.m. Acton Prolongatum® (acton prolongatum stimulation test, APST) in comparison with Synacthen (short synacthen test, SST) for the diagnosis of glucocorticoid insufficiency.MethodsSubjects with a suspicion of adrenal insufficiency based on clinical features underwent a SST with 250 µg Synacthen followed by APST using 30 units of Acton Prolongatum®. Serum cortisol levels were measured at 60 and 120 min following injection of Acton Prolongatum®. Stimulated peak cortisol of less than 18 µg/dL on SST was considered as adrenal insufficiency.ResultsForty seven patients with mean age of 36.7 ± 14.4 years were enrolled for the study. Based on SST, twenty (n = 20) persons were classified as having adrenal insufficiency, whereas twenty-seven (n = 27) were found to be normal. Area under the curve of APST (at 120 min) was 0.986 when compared to SST, thus proving its high accuracy. A serum cortisol cut off value of 19.5 µg/dL at 120-min following stimulation with Acton Prolongatum® showed a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 88%.ConclusionACTH stimulation test using Acton Prolongatum® is an economical and accurate alternative to the short Synacthen test.

Melanocortin receptor subtypes are expressed on cells in the oligodendroglial lineage and signal ACTH protection

Article

作者: Nedelkoska, Liljana ; Lisak, Robert P. ; Benjamins, Joyce A.

AbstractACTH, a melanocortin peptide used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) relapses, acts by stimulating adrenal corticosteroid (CS) production via melanocortin receptor 2 (MC2R), but it may also exert a therapeutic effect independent of CS by stimulating other melanocortin receptors (MCR) distributed in many tissues, including the brain. We reported that oligodendroglia (OL) and oligodendroglial precursor cells (OPC) express MC4R, and that ACTH 1‐39 protects OL and OPC in vitro from cell death induced by mechanisms likely involved in white matter damage in MS. This study investigates expression of MC1R, MC2R, MC3R and MC5R in OL and MC4R in OPC using immunocytochemistry with MCR subtype specific antibodies. OL express surface MC1R, MC3R and MC5R, in addition to MC4R. To investigate whether these receptors are functional, we asked if signaling through MCR is involved in ACTH protection of cultured rat OL from apoptosis (staurosporine), or cell death induced by excitotoxicity (glutamate), reactive oxygen species (ROS), or an inflammatory mediator (quinolinic acid). Like ACTH 1‐39, MCR subtype specific agonists for MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R all protected OL from these insults. Conversely, antagonists for MC3R and MC4R blocked ACTH protection of OL. We then investigated the role of MC4R, as a prototype MCR, in protection and proliferation of OPC; MC4R agonists protected OPC and increased their proliferation, while antagonists blocked these effects. Our results demonstrate that MCR on OL and OPC are functional and activate signaling pathways that protect against mechanisms involved in OL damage in MS, suggesting potential beneficial effects in neurologic diseases.

Patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) are commonly treated with high doses of intravenous corticosteroids (CS). ACTH 1-39, a member of the melanocortin family, stimulates production of CS by the adrenals, but melanocortin receptors are also found in the central nervous system (CNS) and on immune cells. ACTH is produced within the CNS and may have direct protective effects on glia and neurons independent of CS. We previously reported that ACTH 1-39 protected oligodendroglia (OL) and their progenitors (OPC) from a panel of excitotoxic and inflammation-related agents. Neurons are the most vulnerable cells in the CNS. They are terminally differentiated, and sensitive to inflammatory and excitotoxic insults. For potential therapeutic protection of gray matter, it is important to investigate the direct effects of ACTH on neurons. Cultures highly enriched in neurons were isolated from 2-3 day old rat brain. After 4-7 days in culture, the neurons were treated for 24h with selected toxic agents with or without ACTH 1-39. ACTH 1-39 protected neurons from death induced by staurosporine, glutamate, NMDA, AMPA, kainate, quinolinic acid, reactive oxygen species and, to a modest extent, from rapidly released NO, but did not protect against kynurenic acid or slowly released nitric oxide. Our results show that ACTH 1-39 protects neurons in vitro from several apoptotic, excitotoxic and inflammation-related insults.
