First‐in‐human study of deucravacitinib: A selective, potent, allosteric small‐molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2

Abstract This randomized, double‐blind, single‐ and multiple‐ascending dose study assessed the pharmacokinetics (PKs), pharmacodynamics, and safety of deucravacitinib (Sotyktu™), a selective and potent small‐molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2, in 100 (75 active, 25 placebo) healthy volunteers (...

description Abstract This randomized, double‐blind, single‐ and multiple‐ascending dose study assessed the pharmacokinetics (PKs), pharmacodynamics, and safety of deucravacitinib (Sotyktu™), a selective and potent small‐molecule inhibitor of tyrosine kinase 2, in 100 (75 active, 25 placebo) healthy volunteers (NCT02534636). Deucravacitinib was rapidly absorbed, with a half‐life of 8–15 h, and 1.4–1.9‐fold accumulation after multiple dosing. Deucravacitinib inhibited interleukin (IL)‐12/IL‐18‐induced interferon (IFN)γ production ex vivo in a dose‐ and concentration‐dependent manner. Following in vivo challenge with IFNα‐2a, deucravacitinib demonstrated dose‐dependent inhibition of lymphocyte count decreases and expression of 53 IFN‐regulated genes. There were no serious adverse events (AEs); the overall frequency of AEs was similar in the deucravacitinib (64%) and placebo (68%) groups. In this first‐in‐human study, deucravacitinib inhibited IL‐12/IL‐23 and type I IFN pathways in healthy volunteers, with favorable PK and safety profiles. Deucravacitinib is a promising therapeutic option for immune‐mediated diseases, including Crohn's disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus.
