EC313-A Tissue Selective SPRM Reduces the Growth and Proliferation of Uterine Fbroids in a Human Uterine Fbroid Tissue Xenograft Model Hareesh B
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN EC313-a tissue selective SPRM reduces the growth and proliferation of uterine fbroids in a human uterine fbroid tissue xenograft model Hareesh B. Nair1*, Bindu Santhamma1, Kalarickal V. Dileep2, Peter Binkley3, Kirk Acosta1, Kam Y. J. Zhang 2, Robert Schenken3 & Klaus Nickisch1 Uterine fbroids (UFs) are associated with irregular or excessive uterine bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, or infertility. Ovarian steroid hormones support the growth and maintenance of UFs. Ulipristal acetate (UPA) a selective progesterone receptor (PR) modulator (SPRM) reduce the size of UFs, inhibit ovulation and lead to amenorrhea. Recent liver toxicity concerns with UPA, diminished enthusiasm for its use and reinstate the critical need for a safe, efcacious SPRM to treat UFs. In the current study, we evaluated the efcacy of new SPRM, EC313, for the treatment for UFs using a NOD-SCID mouse model. EC313 treatment resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the fbroid xenograft weight (p < 0.01). Estradiol (E2) induced proliferation was blocked signifcantly in EC313-treated xenograft fbroids (p < 0.0001). Uterine weight was reduced by EC313 treatment compared to UPA treatment. ER and PR were reduced in EC313-treated groups compared to controls (p < 0.001) and UPA treatments (p < 0.01). UF specifc desmin and collagen were markedly reduced with EC313 treatment. The partial PR agonism and no signs of unopposed estrogenicity makes EC313 a candidate for the long-term treatment for UFs. Docking studies have provided a structure based explanation for the SPRM activity of EC313. Te unmet need for medical management of uterine fbroids (UFs) has led to the discovery of various novel agents in recent years. -

Abstract: The exact mechanism of selective progesterone receptor modulator action in leiomyoma still challenges researchers. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of ulipristal acetate (UPA) on immunoexpression of inflammatory markers and vascularization in fibroids. UPA-treated patients were divided into three groups: (1) good response (≥25% reduction in volume of fibroid), (2) weak response (insignificant volume reduction), (3) and no response to treatment (no decrease or increase in fibroid volume). The percentage of TGFβ, IL6, IL10, CD117, and CD68-positive cells were Citation: Szydłowska, I.; Grabowska, significantly lower in the group with a good response to treatment vs. the control group.

Bayer AG Communications and Public Affairs News Release 51368 Leverkusen Germany Tel. +49 214 30-0 Not intended for U.S. and UK Media www.news.bayer.com Bayer starts Phase III study program with Vilaprisan in the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids Berlin, July 3, 2017 – Bayer announced today that the first patient was enrolled in a Phase III clinical study program ASTEROID which will investigate vilaprisan in women suffering from uterine fibroids. Vilaprisan, discovered at Bayer, is a novel oral, selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM) which may allow for effective long-term treatment of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign gynaecological tumors of women of reproductive age. They are frequently characterised by heavy menstrual bleeding, pain and bulk symptoms. Uterine fibroids are a leading cause of hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and their impact on a woman’s life can be significant. Approximately 5–10% of women of reproductive age have symptoms of uterine fibroids and require treatment. “Based on the promising results we have seen with vilaprisan in the Phase II clinical study program, we are very excited about the start of the Phase III trials that aims for a new symptom control for symptomatic uterine fibroids in a long-term treatment option. While this condition impacts women in their everyday life, current medical treatment options are not satisfactory,” said Dr Joerg Moeller, member of the Executive Committee of Bayer AG’s Pharmaceutical Division and Head of Development. “It is our ambitious goal that our research efforts in this field result in a medical therapy that controls symptoms and thereby significantly improves the quality of life for women with uterine fibroids.” The planned ASTEROID Phase III clinical study program will include several studies to investigate the efficacy and safety of vilaprisan 2mg in patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids. -
