A19-10 Seralutinib for the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): Results From the Phase 3 PROSERA Trial

Abstract Rationale Seralutinib is an investigational, first-in-class tyrosine kinase inhibitor designed for inhalation and selective for PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, CSF1R, and cKIT, targeting proliferation, inflammation, and fibrosis ─ three core drivers of pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH. The phase 2 TORREY trial of seralutinib added to standard-of-care treatment in adults with PAH WHO FC II or III met its primary endpoint of a statistically significant reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) vs. placebo at 24 weeks. Methods PROSERA (NCT05934526), a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial, evaluated the efficacy and safety of inhaled seralutinib in PAH patients treated for up to 48 weeks. Eligible patients (WHO Group 1 PH, FC II or III; REVEAL Lite 2 Risk Score ≥5 or NT-proBNP ≥300 ng/L or PVR ≥800 dyne•s/cm5) on standard background therapy were randomized 1:1 to seralutinib 90 mg or placebo delivered by dry powder inhaler twice daily. The primary endpoint was change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) from baseline to week 24 in the seralutinib treatment group vs. placebo. Key secondary endpoints included: time to clinical worsening (TTCW), proportion of patients with clinical improvement at week 24, change in NT-proBNP from baseline to week 24, and proportion of patients with ≥1-point decrease from baseline in REVEAL Lite 2 Risk Score at week 24. Safety endpoints included incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious TEAEs (SAEs). Patients who completed blinded treatment could be eligible to participate in an open-label extension study. Preliminary Blinded Results 390 patients were randomized at 132 sites worldwide. At baseline, mean age was 50.0 years. PAH etiologies included 61.0% idiopathic, 9.7% heritable, and 22.3% associated with connective tissue disease. 25.6% of patients were WHO FC II and 74.4% FC III. Mean time from diagnosis was TBD years. Most patients were receiving 2 (39.2%) or ≥ 3 (54.6%) PAH medications, 29.2% were receiving parenteral prostacyclin. Baseline PVR was 798.4 dyne•s/cm5, 6MWD was 373.7 m, and NT-proBNP was 986.8 ng/L. The difference in 6MWD from baseline to week 24 between seralutinib and placebo was TBD [SD] m (p=TBD). Secondary endpoints of TTCW, clinical improvement, NT-proBNP, and REVEAL Lite 2 Risk Score will be reported. The most common AEs were TBD (x%) and TBD (y%). SAEs and discontinuations related to AE will be reported. Conclusions The PROSERA study demonstrates⋯ [to be updated following unblinding of the data]. Funding Gossamer Bio, Inc.
