Context: Parenteral administration of peptide GnRH analogs is widely used in clinical practice for the suppression of pituitary gonadotropins. NBI-42902 is an orally available, high-affinity nonpeptide antagonist of the human GnRH receptor. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and inhibitory effects on gonadotropin secretion of NBI-42902 in postmenopausal women. Design: This was a phase I, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose study with sequential dose escalation. Participants: Fifty-six healthy, postmenopausal women were included. FSH levels were greater than 40 IU/liter, and body mass index was within 20% of ideal values for all subjects. Interventions: Subjects were administered 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, or 200 mg NBI-42902 as an oral solution. Main Outcome Measures: Safety, tolerability, and serum LH and FSH concentrations were evaluated. Results: NBI-42902 was well tolerated. Serum LH concentrations rapidly declined, and dose-dependent suppression was observed. Maximal change from baseline LH concentrations ranged from -19 +/- 5% in the 5-mg group to -55 +/- 2% in the 150-mg group. Suppression of FSH was less pronounced (-15 to -22% of baseline). NBI-42902 was rapidly absorbed after oral administration with a terminal elimination half-life ranging from 2.7 +/- 0.3 to 4.8 +/- 0.8 h. A clear relationship between plasma NBI-42902 concentrations and LH suppression was evident. Conclusions: Dose-dependent LH suppression was achieved by oral administration of a nonpeptide GnRH antagonist suggesting that compounds such as NBI-42902 may enable adjustable gonadotropin suppression as part of novel treatment strategies for benign gynecological conditions.
