Efficacy and safety of the glycine transporter type-1 inhibitor AMG 747 for the treatment of negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia Research 2017 April
OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and efficacy of AMG 747, an oral inhibitor of glycine transporter type-1 (GlyT1), as an add-on to antipsychotic therapy in clinically stable people with schizophrenia with enduring negative symptoms.
METHOD: Analysis of pooled data from two phase 2 studies. Adults diagnosed with schizophrenia stabilized on antipsychotic medication randomized (2:2:2:3) to orally receive daily AMG 747 (5mg, 15mg, or 40mg) or placebo. Primary endpoint was Negative Symptom Assessment (NSA)-16 total score change from baseline to week 12.
RESULTS: Studies were terminated early after a report of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS/TEN) in one participant (40-mg AMG 747). At termination, 232 participants had enrolled and 153 completed 12weeks of treatment. At week 12, change from baseline NSA-16 total score showed no differences between groups. Mean decrease in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Negative Symptom Factor Score (NSFS) and NSA-16 global score were greater with 15-mg AMG 747 than placebo (p<0.05). Changes in PANSS-Positive Symptom Factor Scale were not significantly different for any group. Changes in patient-reported outcomes (Sheehan Disability Scale and Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire) showed trends consistent with greater efficacy of 15-mg AMG 747 compared with placebo (p≤0.1). Adverse event rates were similar among all groups, with no clear differences observed.
CONCLUSIONS: Significant treatment effects of 15-mg AMG 747, but not higher or lower doses, were observed on secondary endpoints but not on the primary outcome. These results replicate previous reports of an inverted-U dose response curve and suggest further evaluation of GlyT1 inhibitors in schizophrenia negative symptoms is warranted.
