Cerebroprotectant

Last updated

A cerebroprotectant (formerly known as a neuroprotectant) is a drug that is intended to protect the brain after the onset of acute ischemic stroke. [1] As stroke is the second largest cause of death worldwide and a leading cause of adult disability, over 150 drugs have been tested in clinical trials to provide cerebroprotection. [2] [3] [4]

Approval rate

While over 150 cerebroprotectants have been tested in clinical trials, as of 2022 only the above two cerebroprotectants are approved, though several clinical trials for other drugs are ongoing. The approval rate has been less than 2%, which is low compared to the overall approval rate of all drugs brought into clinical trials in all disease areas from 2011 to 2022 which was 7.9%. [9] It is also much lower than the relatively high success rate for devices to treat acute ischemic stroke, as there have been at least 5 different clot removal devices approved since 2015. [10]

Methods to increase approval rate

There are many theories as to the causes of the low approval rate for cerebroprotectants, and many strategies have been suggested in publications to improve the chance of approval of drugs in development. The strategies that journals suggest to improve the chance of approval in clinical trials are outlined below:

Choose the right targets
Continuous research into the pathophysiology of stroke has led to improved ability to select drugs targets. [1] Acute ischemic strokes start when there is reduced blood flow, often caused by an occlusion, to part of the brain. [11] Even if an occlusion causes a complete blockage of a major artery, there is typically still some blood flow downstream of the blockage through collateral blood vessels. [12] With reduced blood flow, there is reduced oxygen supply, and to compensate the tissue goes through anaerobic metabolism which is much less efficient. [13] If anaerobic metabolism does not provide enough energy, there is energy failure, followed by ion imbalances. [14] Afterwards, the pathophysiology gets complicated and there are thought to be at least eight pathways of tissue damage. [15] By targeting processes near the top of the top of the chain of events, problems further down the chain of events can be avoided. For example, the drug tPA and mechanical thrombectomy devices all target the occlusion which is at the top of the chain of events, and have achieved FDA approval. The next step in the chain of events is hypoxia, and some oxygen delivery drugs have shown strong effects in animal studies, as shown in the table below. If processes further down the chain of events get targeted, there may be many simultaneous problems and the effect of a single therapy may be less, so there may be benefit to using multiple drugs in combination to treat multiple pathways. [1]
Choose the best candidates from pre-clinical (animal) studies
A 2006 analysis of studies for 1,026 therapies in stroke and theorized that the best drugs from pre-clinical studies were not the ones being brought into clinical trials. Many of the drugs with the strongest signals in pre-clinical models were not the ones later brought into clinical trials. [4]
Improve pre-clinical testing
Others proposed that the lack of standardization in pre-clinical models made it difficult to select the best drugs. [1] One attempt to address this comes from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke which started the Stroke Preclinical Assessment Network to fund a testing regimen that will allow head-to-head comparisons of different drugs. [16]
Treat patients early enough
After the onset of stroke, the amount of brain tissue that dies increases over time, leading to the saying, "Time is brain." [17] Treating patients earlier can lead to a greater amount of brain tissue being saved.
Protect the brain for long enough
An element of clinical trial design that affects the probability that a truly beneficial drug will show benefit is the duration of protection. A truly effective drug that is tested in a clinical trial where it protects the brain for a longer period of time would be expected to show a greater benefit verses a placebo than the same drug in a different clinical trial where it only protects the brain for a shorter period of time. [18]
Select patients with salvageable tissue
Another element of clinical trial design is the use of imaging biomarkers to select patients that are likely to benefit from therapy. MRI and CT imaging methods that determine whether a patient is likely to have salvageable tissue have been used to great effect in clinical trials that showed the benefit of mechanical thrombectomy devices. [19] These same methods can be applied to clinical trials for cerebroprotective drugs. [18]
Restore blood flow after protection so that protected tissue can survive long term
If a drug protects the brain from reduced blood flow but then wears off before blood flow is normalized, then the long term effect of the drug may not be as great as it would be if the drug were paired with therapy to normalize blood flow. Pairing cerebroprotective drugs with approved methods to restore blood flow, such as tPA or mechanical thrombectomy, may increase their long term benefit. [11] [18]

8Gavestinel (GV150526A)1999NMDA glycine antagonist6018"The cause of the neutral results with gavestinel remains to be explained. It is possible that the time window to effectively antagonize glutamate is simply less than 6 h, or that the neuroprotective benefit of infarct size reduction in animals does not translate into improved functional outcome measured in clinical trials. Just as likely, however, expectations with gavestinel were over-inflated because only positive preclinical results were published (it is common that negative results in animal studies go unreported). Mild beneficial effects were only seen in carefully standardized stroke models that do not reflect the heterogeneity of stroke patients where more robust efficacy would be needed to achieve clinical significance."860 [40] [41]

35 NXY-059 2001Free radical scavenger4327AstraZeneca's drug that completed its second Phase III in 2006, leading to what some called the "nuclear winter" in stroke research. At the time, imaging biomarkers were less developed. Secondly, mechanical thrombectomy was not invented yet, and patients with large vessel occlusions in the trial likely had low reperfusion rates. Furthermore, the pathology is better known today, and the chain of events is better understood. The drug targteted processes that were far downstream in the ischemic cascade thereby giving the drug a weaker clinical signal than many drugs targeting processes further up the ischemic cascade. The first Phase III in 1700 patients saw a significant improvement in mRS (p=0.03), but missed all its secondary endpoints. A second Phase III in 3,300 patients saw no effect in any endpoint.2450 [4] [73]

38Neu20002016NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonist and spin trapping molecule (=free radical scavenger or antioxidant)41.21GNT Pharma. Enrolls only patients with confirmed AIS eligible for MT up to 8 hours after onset. The drug will provide only a short duration of protection before MT restores blood flow, probably averaging an hour or less. If they paused the clock perfectly, they would need thousands of patients to show an effect, so there is risk of failing the Phase II due to having too short of a duration of protection. Therapeutic potential of Neu2000 has been well demonstrated in four animal models of stroke with better efficacy and therapeutic time windows than either NMDA receptor antagonist or anti-oxidant advanced to clinical trials. In human phase I studies of 165 healthy subjects conducted in the United States and China, Neu2000KWL showed promising safety profiles without any serious adverse events.4 [76] [77]

They recently completed a Phase III clinical trial in Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy, but the trial showed neutral results in the overall population. The subset of patients that did not get tPA showed benefit, therefore they are seeking to run another Phase III clinical in LVO patients who are ineligible for tPA and hope to initiate this trial in 2021. They are enrolling in another Phase III trial that enrolls a broad population of stroke patients in the field, and results are expected in 2022.620 [78] [79] [80] [81] [82] [83] [84] [85]
41AER-2712018inhibitor of Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels391Initiated Phase 1 trial in June 2018. The osmotic imbalance and subsequent influx of water via AQP4 occurs as a result of a lack of oxygen and leads to edema, midline shift, increased intracranial pressure and brain herniation resulting in permanent disability or mortality. Targets the same physiology as Biogen's BIIB-093 (glyburide for incjection or CIRARA), but via a different pathway. Edema is further down the ischemic cascade than hypoxia.000 [86]

The normal oxygen saturation of red blood cells is 95-99%, and plasma only dissolves a small amount of oxygen. Human studies showed no significant difference in neurological recovery.

The confirmatory end point showed no significant difference between the treatment groups. When the predefined stratification by severity was repeated with the criterion NIHSS, however, a small superiority for Cerebrolysin in the sub-group with baseline NIHSS>12 (OR, 1.27; CI-LB, 0.97; P=0.04) could be shown . Also, when applying the mRS, a small superiority in the sub-group with baseline NIHSS>12 (OR, 1.27; CI-LB, 0.90; P=0.09) was found. The following analysis also focused on the subgroup baseline NIHSS>12 points only and provided a global test result for all 3 criteria combined. This global test results in MW=0.53 (CI-LB, 0.47; P=0.16), which showed a beneficial trend for Cerebrolysin in the study patients.110 [4] [121]
