Development Overview

Introduction

Baloxavir marboxil is developed by Shionogi and Roche, for the treatment and prevention of influenza virus infections including influenza types A and B infections. It is a cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor that inhibits mRNA synthesis, thereby blocking influenza virus proliferation by inhibiting the production of proliferation proteins and viral granules. The drug is a one-time, single-dose first-in-class therapy, which the company believes will be potentially more effective than current marketed products. A tablet formulation is available in Japan under the trade name XOFLUZA®, for treatment as well as prophylaxis while an oral granule formulation has been approved for use in pediatric patients in the same country. The product has been launched in the US for treatment of acute, uncomplicated influenza and influenza virus infections with high risk of complications in patients aged 12 years and older. The product is launched in Taiwan for influenza A and influenza B virus infections and the post-exposure prophylaxis in patients aged 12 years and older. The product is approved for influenza virus infections in Japan, Australia, Canada and Switzerland. The drug is approved in the EU, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein for treatment of uncomplicated influenza virus infections and post-exposure prophylaxis of influenza influenza virus infections. The oral suspension formulation is approved in the US for the treatment and post-exposure prophylaxis of influenza infections in paediatric patients. The product is awaiting approval uncomplicated influenza as well as for post-exposure prophylaxis of influenza infections in paediatric patients in the EU for 1-12 years old. The product is under review for treatment and post-exposure prophylaxis for influenza virus infection for pediatrics aged 5 to under 12 years in Taiwan. Clinical development of oral solution for influenza virus infections is underway worldwide. Preclinical development for influenza A virus H5N1 subtype is underway in Japan.

As at May 2021, no recent reports of development had been identified for preclinical development in Influenza-A-virus-H5N1-subtype in Japan (PO).

As at July 2022, no recent reports of development had been identified for phase-I development in Influenza-virus-infections (In volunteers) in China (PO).

Company Agreements

In February 2016, Shionogi entered into an license and collaboration agreement with Roche to develop and commercialise baloxavir marboxil (also known as S 033188) worldwide, excluding Taiwan and Japan, where Shionogi has exclusive rights. Shionogi also retains certain co-promotion rights in the US. As per the agreement, Roche disbursed Shionogi an undisclosed upfront payment and is expected to make additional payments on achieving development and commercialisation milestones. [1]

Key Development Milestones

In January 2023, Roche announced that the European Commission (EC) approved baloxavir marboxil (Xofluza®) in children aged one year and above for the treatment of uncomplicated influenza and for post-exposure prophylaxis of influenza. Post-exposure prophylaxis aims to prevent influenza in individuals following contact with someone infected with the influenza virus. The Commission’s decision is based on the results of the phase III miniSTONE-2 and BLOCKSTONE studies [see below] [2] .

In August 2022, Roche announced that the US FDA approved the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for baloxavir marboxil for the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza in otherwise healthy children aged five to less than 12 years of age who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours. Additionally, the US FDA approved baloxavir marboxil for the prevention (post-exposure prophylaxis) of influenza in children aged five to less than 12 years of age following contact with someone with influenza. The approval was based on positive results from two phase III studies, miniSTONE-2 and BLOCKSTONE [see below].

Scientific Summary

Pharmacokinetics

In phase III miniSTONE-2 trial baloxavir exposure, administered as a weight-based single oral dose, was similar to those in adult populations receiving a single dose of 40mg. Also, when stratified according to body weight, plasma concentrations were similar across body weight groups. In the intensive PK cohort (n = 19), baloxavir reached Cmax about four hours after administration. The observed Cmax (mean [min–max] = 73.1 [18.10–137.00] ng/mL) was in a similar range to that observed in the non-Asian adult population treated with a 40mg dose (mean [min–max] = 63.9 [11.1–133] and 60.6 [12.2–158] ng/mL in otherwise-healthy (OwH) and HR patients, respectively). In the sparse sampling cohort (n = 107), concentration at 24 hours (C24) was 57.1 (min–max: 0.00–217) ng/mL. The central tendency and overall range of exposure data was similar to that observed in OwH (37.2 ng/mL [7.35–81.4]) and HR non-Asian patients (35.9 ng/mL [5.77–90.2]) treated with a single 40mg dose. Mean C24 in non-Asian adults (OwH) was 57.9 ng/mL [21.4–155], also in close agreement with C24 values observed in this study. In this study patients were randomised 2:1 to receive either a single oral dose of baloxavir marboxil (2 mg/kg for patients weighing <20 kg or 40mg for patients = 20 kg) or oseltamivir [35] [34] .

Treatment with baloxavir marboxil was associated with rapid and profound decline in viral titer within 24 hours (change from baseline to Day 2 in log 10 TCID 50 /ml: -3.83 in 10 mg, - 3.53 in 20 mg, -4.54 in 40 mg groups vs -1.32 in placebo group; Figure 1). The geometric mean plasma concentration of active drug S-033447 at 24 hours post-dose (C 24 ) was 14.3, 29.1, and 58.2 ng/ml in 10 mg, 20 mg and 40 mg groups, respectively, increasing in a nearly dose-proportional manner. C 24 was positively correlated with reduction in viral titer at Day 2 and Day 3, and weakly correlated with time to resolution of fever. There was no clear relationship between C 24 and time to alleviation of other symptoms. The data were presented from 400 patients with influenza enrolled in a phase II trial [55] [56] [58] .

In a phase I study, treatment with baloxavir marboxil indicated low quantification limit (< 0.100 ng/mL) of plasma concentrations of baloxavir marboxil in almost all PK samples in healthy volunteers. S 033447 exposure (Cmax and AUC) increased in dose-proportional manner in the dose range from 6 – 80 mg. The geometric mean t1/2,z of S 033447 ranged from 48.9 to 90.9 hours across dose groups and the geometric mean plasma S 033447 concentration at 24 hours post dose was 6.92 ng/mL after administration of a 6 mg dose of baloxavir marboxil . The geometric means of Feu0–72 of S 033447 ranged from 1.7% to 2.3%. The results were reported from 40 patients enrolled in an randomised study [65] [64] .

Adverse Events

Phase III

Baloxavir marboxil was well tolerated with a numerically lower overall incidence of adverse events (20.7%) compared with placebo (24.6%) or oseltamivir (24.8%) in patients with influenza infections in the phase III CAPSTONE-1 trial. No new safety signals were identified. The incidence of treatment-related adverse events were comparable to that of placebo arm. Baloxavir marboxil showed a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events compared to oseltamivir (p = 0.0088). The most common adverse events reported were diarrhea (3.0%), bronchitis (2.6%), nausea (1.3%) and sinusitis (1.1%), and all of these adverse events occurred at a lower frequency than placebo. The incidence of nausea was less frequent in patients treated with S 033188, compared to oseltamivir. The results were reported from 1 436 patients enrolled in the study [20] [67] [51] [50] .

Baloxavir marboxil was well tolerated in the phase III CAPSTONE-2 trial. Safety signals were not observed. Baloxavir marboxil also reduced the use of antibiotics and incidence of influenza-related complications (3.4% and 2.8% respectively) compared to placebo (7.5% and 10.4%; p = 0.01 and p < 0.05). Baloxavir marboxil had a numerically lower overall incidence of reported adverse events (25.1%) compared with placebo (29.7%) or oseltamivir (28%) [47] [71] [41] . Updated results showed that baloxavir had a numerically lower overall incidence of reported adverse events (25.1%) compared with placebo (29.7%) or oseltamivir (28.0%). The most common adverse events reported in the baloxavir group were bronchitis (3%), diarrhoea (3%), nausea (2%), headache (1%) and sinusitis (2%) [46] . Results from subgroup analysis indicated the percentage of baloxavir recipients with complications (3.0% vs 4.7%. p = 0.559) or required antibacterial therapy (3.6% vs 4.7%, p = 0.778) did not differ significantly from oseltamivir recipients. The treatment-emergent I38 variant was observed in 0.6% baloxavir recipient. Baloxavir significantly reduced percentage of patients with pre-specified complications compared with placebo (3.0% vs 11.3%, p = 0.005) and numerically reduced percentage of patients requiring antibacterial therapy (3.6% vs 7.7%, p = 0.155). Results were reported from 484 patients enrolled in the randomised study [45] . In a subgroup analysis, no new safety signals were identified for baloxavir marboxil in the phase III CAPSTONE-2 trial [44] .

Phase II

In a phase II proof of concept clinical trial a single oral dose of baloxavir marboxil (10 mg, 20 mg or 40 mg) was well tolerated in all dose groups in patients with influenza A and B virus infection. Treatment related adverse events were reported in 27.0%, 23.0%, 26.0% and 29.0% of patients in the 10, 20, 40 mg and placebo groups, respectively; most were mild and resolved without treatment. The data were presented from 400 patients with influenza enrolled in a phase II trial [55] [57] [42] [58] .

Results from a phase I study showed that treatment with single oral doses of baloxavir marboxil at the doses of 6 – 80 mg were generally safe and well tolerable in healthy volunteers. One subject experienced a treatment emergent adverse event of headache, which was mild in severity and resolved without any treatments. The results were reported from 40 patients enrolled in an randomised study [65] [64] .

In the phase III BLOCKSTONE study, baloxavir marboxil was well tolerated in the study and no new safety signals were identified. The most frequently reported adverse events included diarrhea (3%), bronchitis (3%), nausea (2%), sinusitis (2%), and headache (1%). Baloxavir marboxil exhibited a comparable safety profile to placebo. The overall incidence of adverse events was 22.2% and 20.5% in baloxavir and placebo respectively. No serious adverse events were reported for baloxavir [8] [40] [39] [38] .

In the phase III MINISTONE-2 study baloxavir marboxil demonstrated a similar safety profile to oseltamivir. 46.1% patients treated with baloxavir marboxil experienced at least one treatment emergent AE compared to 53.4% in the oseltamivir arm. The safety profile was consistent with that reported in the previous studies in adults and adolescents [32] [34] .

Pharmacodynamics

Summary

Preclinical study

Result from preclinical study demonstrated profound antiviral activity against influenza A and B viruses including oseltamivir-resistant virus (NA/H274Y). Single day dosing of baloxavir marboxil in a mouse lethal infection model prevented mortality which was superior than multiple day dosing of oseltamivir [42] .

Baloxavir marboxil demonstrated more potent in vivo and in vitro activity against pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus, as compared with oseltamivir. Superior efficacy in mice infected with influenza B virus was also displayed by a one day oral dosing of S 033188 (5 or 50mg/kg bid), as compared with a proportionate dose of oseltamivir [56] .

Results from a preclinical study showed that baloxavir marboxil (5 or 50 mg/kg, BID for 1 day) completely eliminated mortality in mice infected with influenza B virus, whereas in mice treated with clinically equivalent dose of oseltamivir phosphate (5 mg/kg, bid for 5 days) only 20% of animals survived. Baloxavir marboxil treatment also significantly reduced viral titer and prevented body weight loss, consistent with the prolonged survival [69] .

In preclinical studies, baloxavir marboxil and S 033447 exhibited potent in vitro and in vivo activity against A/Hong Kong/483/97 (H5N1) strain compared to oseltamivir. S 033447 demonstrated more potent antiviral activity against A/Hong Kong/483/97 strain than oseltamivir acid in virus yield reduction assay. In mice infected with A/Hong Kong/483/97 strain, baloxavir marboxil (5 or 50mg/kg, bid for 1 day) completely eliminated mortality and exhibited significant survival time compared to vehicle or oseltamivir (5 mg/kg, bid for 5 days). Baloxavir marboxil treatment also led to significant reduction of viral titer and prevention of body weight loss compared to vehicle or oseltamivir treatment [68] .

Drug Interactions

Results from a phase I trial showed that no affect in the PK of S 033447 (baloxavir marboxil's active form ) with the geometric mean ratios (90% confidence interval: CI) of 1.03 (0.92-1.15) for Cmax and 1.01 (0.96-1.06) for AUC was observed on co-administration of baloxavir marboxil and oseltamivir. Co-administration of baloxavir marboxil and oseltamivir did not affect the PK of oseltamivir carboxylate with the geometric mean ratios (90% CI) of 0.96 (0.91-1.01) for Cmax and 0.96 (0.92-1.00) for AUC. Slight increase in the AUC ( not clinically meaningful) of oseltamivir was observed on co-administration with baloxavir marboxil with the geometric mean ratio (90% CI) of 1.23 (1.14-1.33) whereas Cmax of oseltamivir was not affected. The single-center, open-label, randomized, 6-sequence, 3-period, 3-treatment crossover study assesed pharmacokinetic (PK) drug-drug interaction between baloxavir marboxil and oseltamivir based on plasma concentration profiles of their active forms, S-033447 and oseltamivir carboxylate, as well as their respective pro-drugs baloxavir marboxil and oseltamivir in 18 healthy adult male participants [61] [62] .

Immunogenicity

Summary

Therapeutic Trials

Phase III

Updated data from the phase III CAPSTONE-1 trial, demonstrated emergence of PAI38X variants as early as 3 days after treatment with baloxavir in 9.7% (36/370) of patients. The median time to alleviation of symptom (TTAS) was reported to be longer in baloxavir recipients shedding PA/I38X virus (63.1 hours) versus those without (51.0 hours) but shorter than in placebo recipients (80.2 hours). The time to sustained cessation of infectious virus detection was longer in those with I38X substitutions, of whom % showed transient increases in viral titers, compared to those without and to placebo (median, 192 versus 48 versus 96 hours). The proportion with symptom rebound was similar across these subgroups (11.5, 8.0, and 13.0 percentage, respectively). NGS in 7 selected patients revealed that PA/I38X virus was first detected 3 to 5 days after baloxavir treatment. The susceptibility to baloxavir was reported to be reduced by 65 to 155-fold versus wild-type virus (0.31 - 0.69 ng/mL vs 36 - 63 ng/mL), in five pairs of clinical isolates with PA/I38 variants [52] . Earlier results reported significant reduction in time to alleviation of symptoms (TTAS) (p < 0.001) in otherwise healthy patients with influenza infections in the phase III CAPSTONE-1 trial. The median TTAS was 53.7 hours (p < 0.001) in baloxavir marboxil group, compared with 53.8 hours (p = 0.7560) in oseltamivir group and 80.2 hours in placebo group, respectively. TTAS was similar between baloxavir marboxil and oseltamivir groups [72] . Significant improvement compared with placebo or oseltamivir for important virological endpoints was seen. The percentage of patients determined to be positive for influenza virus titer was significantly lower in the baloxavir marboxil group in comparison with the oseltamivir group at one, two and four days from the start of treatment. Additionally, the time to cessation of viral shedding was significantly decreased to 24 hours (p < 0.0001) in the baloxavir marboxil as compared with the 72 hours (p < 0.0001) in oseltamivir group and 96 hours in placebo group. Significant reduced fever by 24 hours (p < 0.0001) compared with 42 hours in placebo. The results were reported from 1 436 patients enrolled in the study [20] [67] [51] [50] .

CAPSTONE-2 phase III trial met its primary endpoint of time to improvement of influenza symptoms compared with placebo (median time of 73.2 hours versus 102.3 hours; p < 0.0001), as defined by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Baloxavir marboxil demonstrated superior efficacy (reduced time to improvement of influenza symptoms) versus placebo and oseltamivir in influenza type B (median time of 74.6 hours versus 100.6 hours and 101.6 hours, respectively (p = 0.0138, p = 0.0251). Significant reduction in time to resolution of fever (median time of 30.8 hours versus 50.7 hours; p < 0.0001), the incidence of influenza-related complications (2.8% versus 10.4% ; p < 0.05), the use of systemic antibiotics (3.4% versus 7.5%; p = 0.01) and the length of time the virus continued to be released from the body (viral shedding; median time of 48 hours versus 96 hours; p < 0.0001) were observed. A significant difference was observed in the time to cessation of viral shedding that favored baloxavir marboxil. No significant reduction in the time to resolution of fever (median time of 30.8 hours for baloxavir marboxil versus 34.3 hours for oseltamivir; p < 0.2425), the incidence of influenza-related complications (2.8% for XOFLUZA versus 4.6% for oseltamivir; p = 0.2558) and the use of systemic antibiotics (3.4%% for baloxavir marboxil versus 3.9% for oseltamivir; p = 0.8478). Significantly reduced the length of time the virus continued to be released from the body (viral shedding; median time of 48 hours versus 96 hours; p < 0.0001). Results were reported from 2184 patients [46] . Overall patient population of the study showed numerically shorter time to improvement of influenza symptoms of baloxavir marboxil versus oseltamivir with a median time to improvement of symptoms of 73.2 hours for baloxavir marboxil compared with 81.0 hours for oseltamivir (p = 0.8347). In the subpopulation of people with influenza type B, a subgroup where some antiviral treatments have shown only limited efficacy or inconclusive data, baloxavir marboxil was significantly more efficacious than oseltamivir in reducing the time to improvement of symptoms (median time of 74.6 hours versus 101.6 hours; p < 0.05). In a subgroup analysis, baloxavir marboxil treatment significantly shortend influenza-associated symptoms in patients with chronic lung disease (CLD) and was associated with numerically lower rates of bronchitis and sinusitis versus placebo (PBO). In patients with CLD, median time to improvement of influenza symptoms (TTIIS) was significantly shorter with baloxavir marboxil (BXM) (77.0 hours [95% CI: 67.4-93.3]) than PBO (113.2 hours [95% CI: 100.1-137.8]; p=0.0016) and was numerically shorter than oseltamivir (OSL) (91.2 hours [95% CI: 69.8-101.4]; p=0.8119). Median time to alleviation of symptoms (TTAS) was significantly shorter for BXM (86.0 hours [95% CI: 70.0-101.1]) than PBO (116.2 hours [95% CI: 100.8-148.5]; p=0.0009), and numerically shorter than OSL (91.2 hours [95% CI: 71.3-102.5]; p=0.5605). Median time to cessation of viral shedding (TCVS) was significantly shorter with BXM (48 hours) versus PBO (96 hours; p<0.0001) and OSL (72 hours; p<0.0001). Across treatment arms, patients with CLD appeared to have longer TTIIS and TTAS compared to those without CLD. In BXM-treated patients with CLD, the rates of bronchitis and sinusitis (2.7% and 1.2%, respectively) were numerically lower than those in PBO-treated patients (6.0% and 3.2%, respectively) [44] [47] [43] [71] [41] .

Updated results from the phase III BLOCKSTONE study showed that the trial met its primary endpoint. Baloxavir marboxil showed a statistically significant prophylactic effect on influenza after a single oral dose, by reducing the risk of patients from developing influenza after exposure to an infected household member, by 90% compared with placebo. The proportion of household members aged 12 years and above who developed laboratory-confirmed clinical influenza was 1.3% in the baloxavir marboxil group versus 13.2% in the placebo-treated group. Earlier data showed that proportion of household members who became symptomatically ill following infection with flu was significantly lower in those treated preventively with baloxavir compared with those treated with placebo (proportion of subjects with influenza virus infection, fever and other influenza symptoms in the 10-day observation period: 1.9% of baloxavir marboxil treated household members had the flu compared versus 13.6% in the placebo-treated group p < 0.0001). Treatment with baloxavir marboxil also remained statistically significant regardless of influenza A subtype (H1N1: 1.1% versus 10.6%, p=0.0023; H3: 2.8% versus 17.5% p<0.0001) as compared to placebo. A statistically significant benefit was also reported in household contacts who are at high risk of flu-associated complications (2.2% versus 15.4%, p=0.0435), and children under 12 years of age (4.2% versus 15.5% p=0.0339), who are more vulnerable to developing the flu. Treatment with baloxavir marboxil also demonstrated a significant 76% reduction in the risk of household members developing the flu (5.3% versus 22.4%respectively, p<0.0001) when compered to placebo [5] [40] [39] [38] .

Phase II

Result from a phase II proof of concept study demonstrated that all the three doses (10mg, 20mg or 40mg) of baloxavir marboxil in patients with influenza A and B virus infection led to a significant reductions in time to alleviation of symptoms using wilcoxon test (p<0.05); however, statistically no difference was observed using cox proportional hazard model when compared with placebo and a reduction in viral load was observed. Median time to alleviation of seven influenza symptoms (TTAS) was 54.2 hours (95% CI 47.7, 66.8) in the 10 mg group, 51.0 hours (95% CI 44.5, 62.4) in the 20 mg group, 49.5 hours (95% CI 44.5, 64.4) in the 40 mg group and 77.7 hours (95% CI 67.6, 88.7) in the placebo group (2-sided p = 0.0085, 0.0182 and 0.0046 for 10, 20 and 40 mg vs placebo, respectively, stratified generalized Wilcoxon test). Secondary endpoint data showed that 40 mg dose of baloxavir marboxil was associated with shorter time to alleviation of systemic symptoms compared with placebo, such as feverishness / chills (median 23.0 hours versus 28.8 hours, p = 0.0216), headache (37.9 hours versus 43.7 hours, p = 0.0304), fatigue (31.1 hours versus 42.7 hours, p = 0.0463), aches and pains (25.4 hours versus 41.9 hours, p = 0.0145), rapid resolution of fever (28.9 hours versus 45.3 hours, p<0.0001) and nasal congestion (21.9 hours versus 42.8 hours, p = 0.0081). However, sore throat and cough tended to persist despite rapid viral clearance in patients treated with baloxavir marboxil. The trial was conducted in 400 patients with influenza infections [57] [55] [42] [58] .

In the phase III MINISTONE-2 study time to alleviation of influenza signs and symptoms of baloxavir marboxil arm was comparable to oseltamivir (median time of 138.1 hours (95% CI: 117, 163) vs 150.0 hours (95% CI: 115, 166), respectively). Baloxavir marboxil reduced the length of time that the influenza virus continued to be released from the body by more than two days compared with oseltamivir (viral shedding; median time of 24.2 hours vs 75.8 hours, respectively) [32] [34] .
