ATRN-157 is an active metabolite identified in dogs receiving ATRN-119 P.O.. In vitro metabolism studies in dog and human hepatocytes and liver microsomes indicated formation of ATRN-157 in both species. Potency and selectivity of ATRN-157 was comparable to ATRN-119.

21 Parameter ATRN-119 (1) Route Of Administration Oral Clinical Studies Chosen (MTD/RP2D), Dose Schedule continuous once-daily dosing (dose TBD in Phase 1) (1) Hematological toxicities in preclinical studies Pre-Clinical, Toxicology Studies: • In 28-day GLP tox study in dogs, hematological changes were of small magnitude with complete recovery • In a head-to-head comparative tolerability study, ATRN-119 demonstrated significantly less toxicity than another oral ATRi that is currently in clinical development (2) Note: ATRN-119 has not yet been tested clinically (1) ATRN-119, Phase 1/2a Clinical Study Protocol (2) Internal pre-clinical head-to-head tolerability study in male beagle dogs. ATRN-119 - 20 mg/kg/day for 7 days, followed by 40 mg/kg/day for 7 days and finally 50 mg/kg/day for 7 days, all P.O. Competitor ATRi- administered at a clinically equivalent dose range during 21 days, P.O. By day 4 of dosing, the dog receiving the competitor ATRi exhibited severe reduction in multiple blood cell lineages including reticulocytes. Continued dosing of competitor ATRi for three weeks resulted in significant reduction of white blood cells, red blood cells and hemoglobin levels, and was accompanied by severe body weight loss (-15%). For the dog receiving ATRN-119, reduced levels of reticulocytes and neutrophils were noted with prolonged treatment but remained within normal ranges and body weight changes were negligible (-2% to +4%). ATRN-119: Potential Best-in-Class Oral ATR Inhibitor With Structurally Differentiated Core, Backbone, and Toxicity Profile ATRN-119 potential for reduced toxicity could make it a preferred ATR inhibitor as a single agent, as well as a candidate for combination with standard-of-care therapies. © 2023 Aprea Therapeutics, Inc.
