Pharvaris to Present PHVS416 and PHVS719 Clinical Data for Treatment of HAE at the ACAAI Annual Scientific Meeting 2022

ZUG, Switzerland, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pharvaris (Nasdaq: PHVS), a clinical-stage company developing novel, oral bradykinin-B2-receptor antagonists to treat and prevent hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks, today announced it will be presenting two in-person “ePoster – Meet the Author” presentations at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting 2022, being held from November 10-14, 2022, in Louisville, Ky.

“The data presented at ACAAI demonstrate the optimized pharmacokinetic and tolerability profiles of Pharvaris’ drug candidates that are in clinical development for the treatment of HAE,” said Peng Lu, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of Pharvaris. “PHVS719 is designed to be a once-daily prophylactic treatment for the prevention of HAE attacks, as supported by data demonstrating compound absorption in the colon and maintained exposure above predicted therapeutic levels. The cross-over pharmacokinetic data described in the second poster support the dosing regimen in CHAPTER-1, a Phase 2 study evaluating PHVS416 as a proof of concept of PHVS719 for the prophylactic treatment of HAE.”

Presentation details and key data highlights include:

  • Title: Development of PHVS719: an Oral Extended-Release Bradykinin B2 Receptor Antagonist to Prevent Hereditary Angioedema Attacks
    Presentation ID: P064
    Date and Time: Saturday, November 12, 2022, 12:05 p.m. EST
    Location: Exhibition Hall (Upper Concourse), Monitor 10

Pharmacokinetic properties of PHA121 were evaluated to support the intended therapeutic use of PHVS719 for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks using preclinical and clinical experimental models. Colonic absorption of PHA121 was investigated as a requisite for prolonged absorption of the extended-release formulation under development. In rodents, plasma concentrations following oral and intracolonic administrations of PHA121 were comparable, providing evidence that PHA121 can be systemically absorbed by colonic mucosa. In humans, high oral bioavailability and low fecal excretion further indicate almost-complete absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Together, these data support clinical development of the extended-release tablet PHVS719 as a once-daily prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks.

  • Title: Pharmacokinetics of PHVS719, extended-release tablet formulation of PHA121, a first-in-class oral human bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist
    Presentation ID: P068
    Date and Time: Sunday, November 13, 2022, 11:50 a.m. EST
    Location: Exhibition Hall (Upper Concourse), Monitor 10

In the Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study of PHVS719, 10 healthy subjects received, in a randomized order, two different doses of PHVS719 extended-release tablets (XR1 at 20 mg and XR2 at 40 mg), in fasting and in fed conditions, and one dose of PHVS416 20 mg in fasting conditions. Measurement of time-to-reach-therapeutic-exposure-levels for PHA121 above the EC85 of 13.8 ng/mL showed that after administration of XR1 and XR2, therapeutic plasma concentrations were achieved within approximately two hours. Concentrations of PHA121 remained at therapeutic levels for at least 30 hours with XR2. Food intake did not have significant effects on the time to reach therapeutic exposure of PHA121 nor on the time at which concentrations remained at therapeutic levels. The 24-hour area-under-the-curve exposure of PHA121 after XR2 was comparable to that observed in Phase 1 studies with PHVS416 softgel capsules dosed at 20 mg bid with food. Administration of both PHVS719 and of PHVS416 were well tolerated. No severe nor serious treatment-emergent adverse events were reported, with no specific safety pattern or trend in number or type of events. The 10 treatment-emergent adverse events that were reported in 50% of the participating subjects were mainly of Grade 1 severity or of Grade 2 severity, occurred after only one of the administrations of study drugs, and all completely resolved. Two of these events, namely neck pain and post-procedural hypotension, were considered as not related to the study drug. PHVS416, a softgel capsule formulation of PHA121 is being evaluated for safety and efficacy outcomes in CHAPTER-1, a Phase 2 proof of concept clinical trial, which is currently ongoing in countries outside the U.S. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has placed on hold on clinical trials of PHA121 in the U.S.

About PHVS719
PHVS719 is an investigational extended-release tablet formulation containing PHA121, a highly potent, specific, and orally bioavailable competitive antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. Pharvaris is developing this formulation to provide an easy way to prevent attacks with sustained exposure of attack-preventing medicine in a convenient, small oral dosage form. PHVS719 is currently in Phase 1 clinical development for the prophylactic treatment of HAE. In healthy volunteers, a single dose of PHVS719 was well tolerated with an extended-release profile supporting once-daily dosing.

About PHVS416
PHVS416 is an investigational softgel capsule formulation containing PHA121, a highly potent, specific, and orally bioavailable competitive antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. Pharvaris aims to develop this formulation to provide fast and reliable symptom relief, through rapid exposure of attack-mitigating therapy in a convenient, small oral dosage form. In healthy volunteers, a single dose of PHVS416 showed rapid exposure exceeding predicted therapeutically efficacious levels within 30 minutes. PHVS416 is currently in Phase 2 clinical development outside the U.S. for the on-demand and proof-of-concept prophylactic treatment of HAE.

About PHA121
PHA121 (PHA-022121) is a highly potent, specific, and orally bioavailable competitive antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor that has completed Phase 1 clinical development. PHA121 utilizes the same mechanism as icatibant, the leading therapy for on-demand treatment of HAE. Pharvaris is developing this novel small molecule for on-demand and prophylactic treatment of HAE and other bradykinin-mediated diseases through formulations optimized for each setting. Data from single- and multiple-ascending-dose Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers demonstrate rapid exposure and linear pharmacokinetics at doses up to 50 mg. In a bradykinin-challenge study in healthy volunteers, PHA121 showed significant inhibition of bradykinin-induced hemodynamic changes with an average composite EC50 of 2.4 ng/mL and EC85 of 13.8 ng/mL, approximately four-fold more potent than historical data for icatibant. Quantitative modeling indicates that single oral doses of PHA121 will maintain pharmacological effectiveness for a substantially longer time than 30 mg of subcutaneous icatibant. In clinical studies, PHA121 has been observed to be well-tolerated at all doses studied to date.
