below LLOQ ? what about CSF?
Takeda rationale or pursing NLRP3:
  • animal data was, so far, only striatum, not SN,
  • Assay difference: WB vs ELISA
Takeda plan:
  • Brain: check Quanterix Antibody for rat reactivity → PM brain tissue 로 assay?
  • CSF: PM CSF collection (serial, if possible)
20240503 Presentation: Quanterix is open (with MJF permissiion) is open to collaborate and to get and test PD samples and healthy controls to further validate the assay

Mingwei: we need 150ul for each sample to measure at duplicate, same for plasma and CSF
Ariana:
  • the assay is not yet ready for external human sample testing. We are still in the process of some additional validation steps including dynamic range and test-retest reliability.
  • We have not yet run PD vs HC CSF samples, so there is no de-identification to be done in that regard.
  • Unfortunately, we are no longer pursuing assay development for the other analytes you mentioned.
Qs LLOQ, what is MJF need? Freeze-thaw, volume required?
Slide: 7,8 plasma, LLOQ 4 (buffer, what is in PLASMA?). slide 8 figure : values below LLOQ ? what about CSF?

Human: assay available, PD vs HC?: NOT critical

dQuanterix, , USAsample available? we need 150ul for each sample to duplicate, same for plasma and CSF

Can we likely reduce it?

Tech Transfer to CROAudit → wait timeIP though – this will need a careful Legal review. If we co-develop and assay and want to tech-transfer it to a more scalable CRO, we need to have sufficient FTO to do that.

potentially alongside other candidate biomarkers, as Olink's strength is multiplexing
secondary endpoint-status later on.
I don't think we need it to be "fully" quantitative though, as Takeda has a lot of Olink secondary endpoint assays that are quantitative
I don't think Takeda has any secondary endpoint semi-quantitative Olink assays in play, you were right. I'm following up with him to get the details, but I think if the assay will indeed be for a go/no-go decision then semi-quantitative is too risky; we'll have to have a quantitative assay to start with

Chemistry

20112 Current frontrunner is TR06692993 , de-priotized IP issue,
  • Minitox for TR993 is not necessary because that of TR443, the same chemotype to TR993, is ongoing. The rat DRF study in 3 or 7 days will be planned to find the doses for 2W tox. After checking the accumulation of the compounds after single and multiple dosing, the period will be determined.
The TR2993 low dose rat PK (IV/PO) study is planned to be released end of Jan.
TR2993 ascending dose rat PK will be scheduled for Feb.
To support future Atuka studies, multi-day mouse PK for TR2993 will be run at TCAL in Feb. Study will check for tissue accumulation. Plasma, brain, and liver concentrations will be compared between Day 1 and Day 5.
Both dog and monkey hepatocyte stability are being run at TCAL for TR2993.
[]
  • The extended CL evaluation in human hepatocyte will be planned for TR2993 due to low CL. Data from this human hepatocyte CL study will be utilized for human PK prediction.
