A Phase II Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Proof-of-Concept Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Cotadutide in Participants with Non-cirrhotic Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis with Fibrosis (PROXYMO-ADVANCE)

A study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cotadutide given by subcutaneous injection in adult participants with non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with fibrosis
(PROXYMO-ADVANCE)

April. 19, 2025

54

Participants were randomized in a 2:1:2:1 ration to receive cotadutide 300 microgram, placebo matching cotadutide 300 microgram, cotadutide 600 microgram, or placebo matching cotadutide 600 micogram. Participants uderwent dose titration steps every 4 weeks to reach the target dose of 300 microgram or 600 microgram once dailry. Participants were 18 or more to 75 or less years of age (inclusive) with biopsy-proven NASH (historical biopsy prformed 180 days or less from randomization or on-study biopsy) demonstrating NAS 4 more or (with a score of at least 1 for each component: steatosis, lobular inflammation, and ballooning) and liver fibrosis stage F2 or F3. 1860 paritipants were originally planning to be randmly assigned to study intervention, however, this study has permaturely stopped randomization as the cotadutide program was discontinued. 54 participants were totally randomizaed and got the study intervention (Cotadutide 300 mirogram grooup: 17, Placebo matching cotadutide 300 microgram: 10, Cotadutide 600 mirogram grooup: 18, Placebo matching cotadutide 600 microgram: 9) The backgroud of randomized patients is as follow: - Mean age Cotadutide 300 microgram group: 54.4 years, Placebo matching cotadutide 300 microgram: 56.9 years, Cotadutide 600 mirogram group: 53 years, Placebo matching cotadutide 600 microgram: 56.4 years. - Sex Cotadutide 300 microgram group: female: 11 (64.7%), male: 6 (35.3%), Placebo matching cotadutide 300 microgram: female: 4 (40.0%), male: 6 (60.0%), Cotadutide 600 mirogram group: female: 10 (55.6%), male: 8 (44.4%), Placebo matching cotadutide 600 microgram: female: 6 (66.7%), male: 3 (33.3%). - Race Cotadutide 300 microgram group:Asian: 5, Not reported: 1, White: 11, Placebo matching cotadutide 300 microgram: American Indian or Alaska Native: 1, Asian: 2, White: 7, Cotadutide 600 mirogram group: Asian: 9, Black or African American: 1 White: 8, Placebo matching cotadutide 600 microgram: American Indian or Alaska Native: 1, Asian: 2 White: 6.

The study was discontinued prematurely and recruitment was terminated due to a strategic decision to stop the cotadutide development program in NASH. The participant disposition was similar across the treatment groups. In total, 586 patients were enrolled, 54 participants were randomized, 36 (66.7%) participants were assessed for post-baseline biopsy, and 41 (75.9%) participants completed the study. Demographics, baseline participant characteristics, and use of concomitant medications were generally similar across treatment groups.

The safety set comprised 54 participants who received at least one dose of IP. Mean duration of exposure was similar across the treatment groups. The proportion of participants who experienced at least 1 adverse event was numerically greater in the cotadutide total group (93.4%) than in the placebo group (68.4%). Serioud adverse events were reported in 1 participant (cotadutide 300 microgram group). There were no deaths reproted.Only 3 participants (2 in the cotadutide 600 microgram group and 1 in the placebo group) experienced an adverse event leading to withdrawal from the study.

In the full analysis set, the proportion of participants with resolution of NASH without worsening of liver fibrosis was 35.3%, 44.4% and 26.3% in cotadutide 300 microgram, cotadutide 600 microgram, and placebo groups, respectively. Treatment with cotadutide 300 microgram was associated with a response difference of 18.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] -13.0, 46.4, p=0.257) compared to the placebo group. The proportion of participants in the full analysis set with improvement in liver fibrosis by at least one stage without worsening of NASH was 5.9%, 61.1%, and 21.1%, in the cotadutide 300 microgram, cotadutide 600 microgram, and placebo groups, respectively. Teatment with cotadutide 600 microgram was associated with a response difference of 40.1% (95% CI 8.1, 64.8, p=0.022) compared to the placebo group.

- Safety and tolerability of cotadutide 300 and 600 microgram administered subcutaneous once daily in adults with non-cirrhotic NASH with fibrosis were generally consistent with the known safety profile for cotadutide. - Cotadutide treatment at both doses demonstrated numerical improvements in resolution of NASH without worsning of liver fibrosis.
