Filing
of Current Reports on Form 8-K
On
March
22, 2007, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the issuance of a
press release, the contents of which are to be included after the last paragraph
in the discussion under the heading "Our Business - Catalytic Antioxidants
in
ALS" on page 36 of the Prospectus and are set forth below:
"Aeolus
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AOLS.OB) announced today the
successful completion of the analysis of results from the Company’s phase 1
multiple-dose study of AEOL 10150 (“Study 102”). The clinical direction for AEOL
10150 is currently under consideration, with the most likely targets for an
efficacy study as a protector of healthy cells in radiation therapy in lung
cancer and/or head and neck cancer and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS” or
“Lou Gehrig’s disease”).
Study
102
was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical study to
assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of three doses
of
AEOL 10150 administered by subcutaneous (“SC”) injection or infusion in patients
with ALS. Three groups of six subjects (four receiving drug, two placebo, and
total 18 subjects) were studied. Each subject in the first two cohorts received
bid SC injections of AEOL 10150 or placebo for six days followed by a single
SC
injection on the seventh day for a total of 13 injections. In the first cohort,
each injection was 40 mg and in the second cohort each injection was 60
mg.
There
were two dosing modifications in the third cohort. First, the dosage was changed
from a total fixed daily dose to a weight dependent dose (i.e. mg/kg) to ensure
that each subject received the same dose irrespective of weight. Second, the
method of subcutaneous compound delivery was changed from subcutaneous
administration via needle and syringe to continuous subcutaneous delivery via
infusion cannula. Subjects in the third cohort received a daily dose of 2 mg/kg
delivered by osmotic infusion pump over 24 hours for 6.5 days.
The
safety results can be summarized as follows: All subjects completed the study.
There were no serious or clinically significant adverse events. Mild decreases
in sitting systolic and diastolic blood pressure were more frequent in the
AEOL
10150 treatment groups than in the placebo group and were greatest in the 2
mg/kg/day group. Cutaneous observations, consistent with injection/infusion
site
reactions, were the most common adverse events. The most common
injection/infusion site reaction was discoloration; other reactions included
induration, erythema, and pain. Two (50%) of the subjects who received AEOL
10150 2mg/kg/day (but none of the placebo subjects) via subcutaneous infusion
developed persistent lesions with ulceration and tissue necrosis. The most
likely explanation for these observations in the third cohort was the injection
of relatively large volumes of hypertonic (i.e. 920 mosm) solution containing
drug at a single cannula site. Adjustment of drug concentration and osmolality
to isotonicity can be readily made in subsequent clinical studies.
There
were no apparent dose related changes in clinical laboratory tests, pulmonary
function tests, or Holter monitoring studies. Mild QT/QTc prolongation (i.e.
between 450 and 480 msec and >30 msec from baseline) was observed in a small
number of the subjects, as well as, placebo controls. No subject had QT interval
prolongation (i.e. uncorrected or corrected by either the Bazett or Fridericia
methods) equal to or longer than 500 msec.
Pharmacokinetic
analyses showed a dose related increase in plasma concentrations between 40
and
60 mg bid. The continuous infusion of AEOL 10150 2 mg/kg/day resulted in lower,
but sustained, plasma levels of approximately 1,500 ng/ml. Steady state occurred
within three days and the terminal half-life was approximately 8 to 9 hours.
Fifty-five percent of the dose was excreted in the urine as unchanged AEOL
10150. The maximum tolerated dose for AEOL 10150 was not attained in this
study.
In
summary, the results of the phase 1 multiple dose Study 102 showed that AEOL
10150 at doses up to 2 mg/kg/day was safe and well tolerated with an excellent
pharmacokinetic profile in ALS subjects. The continuous delivery of compound
by
weight adjusted dosing by osmotic infusion pump appears to be an option for
subsequent trials and will require the use of an isotonic drug delivery
solution."
