FIELD

The present invention relates to a method of treating borderline personality disorder.

Background

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is currently one of the most complex, dysfunctional and expensive psychiatric disorders faced with mental health systems. The basic features of BPD are impairment of personality (self and interpersonal) function and the presence of pathological personality traits. BPD patients often experience emotional instability, impulsivity, irrational beliefs and distorted perception, as well as strong but unstable relationships with others. Up to 10% of affected people die. Approximately three times as many women as men are diagnosed.

Treatment of BPD remains a medical challenge. There are currently no FDA-approved drugs that specifically treat BPD. Drugs such as mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics are used for treatment of BPD off label (off-label), but are questionable in efficacy and have undesirable side effects such as sedation and weight gain.

Therefore, there is a strong and unmet medical need for new and/or improved drugs for the treatment of BPD, in particular drugs that act through a new mechanism of action and treat the core characteristics of BPD, and drugs with more favorable side effect profiles than the current non-specific off-label therapies. The present invention addresses these and other needs.

Summary of The Invention

The present invention provides novel methods for treating borderline personality disorder using inhibitors of KDM 1A.

Accordingly, the present invention provides inhibitors of KDM1A for use in the treatment of borderline personality disorder.

The invention further provides a method of treating borderline personality disorder in a patient, preferably a human, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of KDM 1A.

The invention further provides the use of an inhibitor of KDM1A in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of borderline personality disorder.

The invention further provides the use of an inhibitor of KDM1A in the treatment of borderline personality disorder.

In a preferred embodiment, the inhibitor of KDM1A is varespartat (vafidemstat) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

Brief Description of Drawings

Figure 1 shows the effect of treatment of human BPD patient challenge with KDM1A inhibitor varespat (as defined herein and in example 1) as shown by a statistically significant reduction in the BPDCL domain composite score associated with challenge from visit 1 (baseline, pre-treatment) to visit 7 (8 weeks of treatment with varespat), as described in more detail in example 3. Data are expressed as mean ± Standard Error of Mean (SEM); p is 0.0029.

Figure 2 shows the efficacy of the KDM1A inhibitor varespat for treatment of BPD as shown by a statistically significant reduction in the total score of the BPD checklist (BPDCL) from visit 1 (baseline, pre-treatment) to visit 7 (8 weeks of treatment with varespat), as described in more detail in example 3. Data are presented as mean ± SEM; p is 0.0048.

Figure 3 shows that treatment with varespartal produced a statistically significant reduction in the non-challenge related BPDCL domain composite score from visit 1 (baseline, pre-treatment) to visit 7 (8 weeks of treatment with varespartal), as described in more detail in example 3. Data are presented as mean ± SEM; p is 0.0234.

Detailed Description

The present invention is based on the unexpected discovery that inhibitors of KDM1A can be used as therapeutic agents for the treatment of BPD. KDM1A inhibitors, including varespartat, have been reported to be useful for reducing aggressiveness, such as disease-related aggressiveness, without sedation. Vardenstat is currently in phase IIa clinical trials (REIMAGINE trial) in the treatment of attacks in patients with alzheimer's disease, dementia with lewy bodies, autistic spectrum disorders (autistic spectrum disorders), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and BPD. The results of this clinical trial unexpectedly demonstrate that vardenstat is not only effective in treating the challenge of BPD patients, but also exhibits additional therapeutic effects on BPD, as detailed below and in the examples. KDM1A inhibitors, particularly varespetastat, are useful in the treatment of BPD, including the (non-aggressive) core characteristics of treating BPD, as defined below.

Accordingly, the present invention provides KDM1A inhibitors for use in the treatment of BPD.

The invention further provides a method of treating BPD in a patient, preferably a human, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of KDM 1A.

The invention further provides the use of an inhibitor of KDM1A in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of BPD.

Preferably, the KDM1A inhibitor, e.g. vardenstat (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof), for use in the methods of treatment and uses described herein is administered orally. Exemplary formulations that can be administered orally are described in further detail below.

As noted above, in a preferred embodiment the present invention provides the compound vardenstat or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof for use in the treatment of BPD. Thus, the present invention relates to the compound vardenstat as a free base (non-salt form) for use in the treatment of BPD, and furthermore, to pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates of vardenstat for use in the treatment of BPD.

As shown in the examples, it was unexpectedly found in the context of the present invention that inhibitors of KDM1A, such as varespetastat, can be used to treat BPD. As part of the phase IIa clinical trial, the KDM1A inhibitor vardenstat was evaluated as a treatment for challenge in human patients with a range of CNS disorders, which has been shown to significantly reduce the aggressive behavior in BPD patients, as shown in example 3 and figure 1. As shown in figure 1, treatment with the KDM1A inhibitor varespartal caused a statistically significant reduction in the challenge score in the BPD patients as shown by comparing the score after 8 weeks of treatment with the KDM1A inhibitor varespartal (score at visit 7) with the baseline score before treatment with varespartal (score at visit 1). The therapeutic efficacy of BPD patients is preferably evaluated using validated scales designed specifically for BPD, such as the Borderline Personality Disorder Checklist (BPDCL). As explained in more detail in example 3.3, the BPDCL scale includes an assessment of both attack-related as well as non-attack-related (i.e. attack-independent) areas or symptoms of BPD. By assessing the effect of treatment on the overall BPDCL score, including both challenge-related and non-challenge-related scores, and/or on the composite BPDCL score corresponding to those BPD areas not associated with challenge, as detailed in example 3.3, the efficacy of drug-treated BPD can be assessed over (i.e., independently of) the specific effect on challenge. As shown in example 3 and figures 2 and 3, it has been surprisingly found that treatment with the KDM1A inhibitor varespat produces a significant improvement in total BPD and non-aggressive BPD profile in addition to the therapeutic effect on aggressiveness, as shown by a statistically significant reduction in the total score of BPDCL (as shown in figure 2) and the non-aggressive composite score (as shown in figure 3) after 8 weeks of treatment. These results demonstrate that KDM1A inhibitors, including varespartol, have broad therapeutic effects in BPD, which are beyond therapeutic aggressiveness in BPD patients, and are therefore useful in treating BPD, including the core features of BPD as defined above.

KDM1A inhibitors

KDM1A inhibitors as used herein are compounds that inhibit KDM1A, particularly human KDM 1A.

All types of KDM1A inhibitors are useful in the methods and uses of the invention.

Preferably, the KDM1A inhibitor for use in the methods and uses according to the invention is a small molecule. Irreversible and reversible inhibitors of KDM1A have been reported and may be used in accordance with the present invention. Irreversible KDM1A inhibitors exert their inhibitory activity by covalently binding to the FAD cofactor within the active site of KDM1A and are typically based on a 2-cyclyl-cyclopropylamino moiety, such as 2- (hetero) arylcyclopropylamino. Reversible inhibitors of KDM1A are also disclosed.

In some embodiments, in the methods and uses according to the invention, the KDM1A inhibitor is an irreversible KDM1A inhibitor, preferably a 2- (hetero) aryl cyclopropylamino KDM1A inhibitor. As used herein, "2- (hetero) arylcyclopropylamino KDM1A inhibitor" or "2- (hetero) arylcyclopropylamino compound" refers to an inhibitor of KD1A whose chemical structure includes a cyclopropyl ring substituted at the 1-position with an amino group, which is optionally substituted, and is substituted at the 2-position with an aryl or heteroaryl group (wherein the aryl or heteroaryl group is optionally substituted).

The ability of a compound to inhibit KDM1A can be tested in vitro using any method known in the art for determining KDM1A inhibition, for example, the method disclosed in example 2.

A particularly preferred KDM1A inhibitor for use in the methods and uses of the invention is varesparto (i.e. 5- ((((1R,2S) -2- (4- (benzyloxy) phenyl) cyclopropyl) amino) methyl) -1,3, 4-oxadiazol-2-amine) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

including any of the optically active stereoisomers thereof,

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.

Pharmaceutical preparation

While it is possible that a KDM1A inhibitor, such as varespetastat, may be administered directly as such for treatment, it is typically administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound as an active pharmaceutical ingredient and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.

In this specification, any reference to an inhibitor of KDM1A includes reference to the corresponding compound as such, i.e. in non-salt form (e.g. as the free base) or in any pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate form thereof, as well as to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compound and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.

KDM1A inhibitors may be administered by any method that achieves the intended purpose. Examples include by oral, parenteral (including, for example, intravenous, subcutaneous or intracerebral) or topical routes.

For oral delivery, the compounds may be incorporated into formulations that include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as binders (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, tragacanth, excipients (e.g., starch, lactose), lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide), disintegrants (e.g., alginates, xanthan gum, corn starch), sweetening or flavoring agents (e.g., glucose, sucrose, saccharin, methyl salicylate, peppermint).

Suitable oral formulations may also be in the form of suspensions, syrups, chewing gums, wafers, elixirs and the like. Conventional agents for modifying the flavor, taste, color and shape of a particular form may also be included if desired. In addition, to facilitate administration by enteral feeding tubes to patients who cannot swallow, the active compounds may be dissolved in an acceptable lipophilic vegetable oil carrier, such as olive oil, corn oil and safflower oil.

The compounds may also be administered parenterally in the form of solutions or suspensions, or in lyophilized form capable of conversion to solution or suspension form prior to use. In such formulations, diluents or pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may be used, such as sterile water and physiological saline buffer. Other conventional solvents, pH buffers, stabilizers, antimicrobials, surfactants, and antioxidants may also be included. For example, useful components include sodium chloride, acetate, citrate or phosphate buffer, glycerol, glucose, fixed oils, methylparaben, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, sodium bisulfate, benzyl alcohol, ascorbic acid, and the like. The parenteral formulations may be stored in any conventional container, such as vials and ampoules.

For topical administration, the compounds may be formulated as lotions, creams, ointments, gels, powders, pastes, sprays, suspensions, drops and aerosols. Thus, one or more thickening agents, humectants, and stabilizers may be included in the formulation. Examples of such agents include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, xanthan gum, petrolatum, beeswax or mineral oil, lanolin, squalene, and the like. One particular form of topical application is through a transdermal patch. Methods of making transdermal patches are disclosed, for example (1986) Ann.in Brown et al (1988) Ann.Rev.Med.39:221-229, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Subcutaneous implantation of the sustained release compound may also be a suitable route of administration. This requires surgery to implant the active compound in any suitable formulation into the subcutaneous space, for example under the anterior abdominal wall. See, e.g., Wilson et al (1984) J.Clin.Psych.45: 242-247. Hydrogels can be used as carriers for the sustained release of active compounds. Hydrogels are generally known in the art. They are typically prepared by cross-linking high molecular weight biocompatible polymers into a network that swells in water to form a gel-like material. Preferably, the hydrogel is biodegradable or bioabsorbable. For the purposes of the present invention, hydrogels made from polyethylene glycol, collagen or poly (saccharide-co-L-lactic acid) may be useful. See, e.g., Phillips et al (1984) J.Pharmaceut.Sci.,73: 1718-1720.

The compounds may also be conjugated with water-soluble, non-immunogenic, non-peptidic high molecular weight polymers to form polymer conjugates. For example, the compound may be covalently linked to polyethylene glycol to form a conjugate. Typically, such conjugates exhibit improved solubility, stability, and reduced toxicity and immunogenicity. Thus, the compounds in the conjugates have a longer half-life in vivo and show better efficacy when administered to a patient. See generally Burnham (1994) am.J.Hosp.Pharm.15: 210-218. Pegylated proteins are currently used for protein replacement therapy and other therapeutic uses. For example, pegylated interferon (PEG-INTRON)) Can be used for treating hepatitis B in clinic. Polyethylene glycol modified adenosine deaminaseCan be used for treating Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCIDS). Pegylated L-asparaginaseCan be used for treating Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). Preferably, the covalent bonds between the polymer and the active compound and/or the polymer itself are hydrolytically degradable under physiological conditions. Such conjugates, termed "prodrugs", can be readily in vivoThe active compound is released internally. Controlled release of the active compound can also be achieved by incorporating the active ingredient into microcapsules, nanocapsules or hydrogels as are well known in the art. Other pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of the compounds include, but are not limited to, esters, carbonates, thiocarbonates, N-acyl derivatives, N-acyloxyalkyl derivatives, quaternary derivatives of tertiary amines, N-Mannich bases, Schiff bases, amino acid conjugates, phosphates, metal salts, and sulfonates.

Liposomes can also be used as carriers for active compounds. Liposomes are micelles made of various lipids such as cholesterol, phospholipids, fatty acids and their derivatives. Various modified lipids may also be used. Liposomes can reduce the toxicity of the active compound and increase its stability. Methods for preparing liposomal suspensions with active ingredients therein are well known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. nos. 4,522,811; prescott, Methods in Cell Biology, volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1976).

The pharmaceutical compositions, such as oral and parenteral compositions, may be formulated in unit dosage forms for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. As used herein, "unit dosage form" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for subjects, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with one or more suitable pharmaceutical carriers.

In therapeutic applications, the pharmaceutical composition is administered in a manner appropriate to the disease to be treated, as determined by one skilled in the art. The appropriate dosage and the appropriate duration and frequency of administration will be determined by such factors as the condition of the patient, the type and severity of the disease, the particular form of the active ingredient, the method of administration and the like. In general, the appropriate dosage and administration regimen provide an amount of the pharmaceutical composition sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit, such as an improved clinical outcome, e.g., more frequent complete or partial remission, or longer disease-free and/or overall survival, or reduction in severity of symptoms, or any other visibly identifiable improvement noted by the clinician. Effective dosages can generally be evaluated or extrapolated using experimental models, such as dose-response curves obtained from in vitro or animal model test systems or from clinical trials.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be included in a container, package, or dispenser along with instructions for administration.

Also as described in example 3, it has been found that KDM1A inhibitors such as varespetastat are effective orally and when administered orally in the treatment of BPD. Thus, it is preferred to administer an inhibitor of KDM1A (e.g. valfelast) by the oral route to treat BPD.

The invention also includes the use of KDM1A inhibitors in which one or more atoms are substituted with a particular isotope of the corresponding atom. For example, the invention encompasses the use of KDM1A inhibitors wherein one or more hydrogen atoms (or, for example, all hydrogen atoms) are replaced by deuterium atoms (i.e. 2H; also referred to as "D"). Thus, the present invention also includes deuterium-enriched KDM1A inhibitors. Naturally occurring hydrogen is a compound containing about 99.98 mol-% hydrogen-1 (1H) And about 0.0156 mol-% deuterium (2Isotopic mixtures of H or D). The deuterium content of one or more hydrogen sites in a KDM1A inhibitor may be increased using deuteration techniques known in the art. For example, inhibitors of KDM1A or reactants or precursors for the synthesis of KDM1A inhibitors may use, for example, heavy water (D)2O) carrying out H/D exchange reaction. Other suitable deuterated techniques are described in Atzrodt J et al, Bioorg Med Chem,20(18),5658-5667, 2012; william JS et al, Journal of laboratory Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals,53(11-12),635-644, 2010; modvig A et al, J Org Chem,79,5861-5868, 2014. The deuterium content can be determined, for example, using mass spectrometry or NMR spectrometry. KDM1A inhibitors preferably used according to the invention are not deuterium enriched unless specifically indicated otherwise. Thus, it is preferred that a naturally occurring hydrogen atom or1H hydrogen atom. In general, it is preferred that none of the atoms in KDM1A inhibitors used in accordance with the invention be substituted with a particular isotope.

Definition of

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

The following definitions apply to the present description and claims unless specifically indicated otherwise.

For the purposes of the present invention, a "patient" or "subject" includes humans and other animals, particularly mammals. Thus, the methods and uses of the invention are applicable to both human therapy and veterinary uses. In a preferred aspect, the subject or patient is a mammal, and in a most preferred aspect, the subject or patient is a human (e.g., male or female; it may be an adult, such as a human of 18 years of age or older, or a child, such as a human of 17 years of age or younger).

The terms "treat," "treating," and the like, as used herein generally refer to obtaining a desired pharmacological and/or physiological effect. The effect may be prophylactic in terms of completely or partially preventing the disease (referred to herein as BPD) or a symptom thereof, and/or may be therapeutic in terms of partially or completely curing or ameliorating the disease (i.e., BPD) and/or a symptom or side effect caused by the disease, or in terms of partially or completely halting the progression of the disease and/or a symptom or side effect caused by the disease. The term "treatment" as used herein encompasses any treatment of a disease (i.e., BPD) in a patient and includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of the following: (a) prevention of BPD in patients who may be predisposed to/at risk for BPD; (b) delaying the onset of BPD; (c) inhibition of BPD, i.e. preventing, delaying or slowing its development/progression; or (d) alleviation of BPD, i.e. causing (complete or partial) regression, correction or remission of BPD. The invention is particularly and distinctly directed to each of these forms of treatment.

The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein refers to an amount sufficient to produce a desired biological effect (e.g., a therapeutic effect) in a subject. Thus, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound may be an amount sufficient to treat the disease (i.e., BPD) and/or delay the onset or progression of the disease and/or alleviate one or more symptoms of the disease when administered to a subject suffering from or susceptible to the disease.

As used herein, the abbreviation "BPD" refers to borderline personality disorder.

As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts that retain the biological effectiveness of the free acid and/or base of the particular compound and are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. The compounds may have sufficiently acidic, sufficiently basic, or both functional groups, and thus react with any of a number of inorganic or organic bases and inorganic and organic acids to form pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those salts prepared by reacting a compound of the invention, for example, varespartol, with an inorganic or organic acid, such as the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, acetate, propionate, decanoate, octanoate, acrylate, formate, isobutyrate, hexanoate, heptanoate, propiolate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate, butyne-1, 4-dioate, hexyne-1, 6-dioate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methyl benzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, dihydrogenate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, acetate, propionate, decanoate, octanoate, dihydrogenate, dihydrogenbenzoate, dihydrogenphosphate, or a salt of a, Methoxybenzoate, phthalate, sulphonate, xylenesulphonate, phenylacetate, phenylpropionate, phenylbutyrate, citrate, lactate, gamma-hydroxybutyrate, glycolate, tartrate, methanesulphonate, ethanesulphonate, propanesulphonate, benzenesulphonate, toluenesulphonate, trifluoromethanesulphonate, naphthalene-1-sulphonate, naphthalene-2-sulphonate, mandelate, pyruvate, stearate, ascorbate or salicylate. When the compound carries an acidic moiety, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may include alkali metal salts, such as sodium or potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts, such as calcium or magnesium salts; and salts formed with suitable organic ligands such as ammonia, alkylamines, hydroxyalkylamines, lysine, arginine, N-methylglucamine, procaine, and the like. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art.

As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable solvate" refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute and a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent such as water, ethanol, and the like. The complex with water is called a hydrate. It is to be understood that the invention encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of the non-salt form and the pharmaceutically acceptable salt form of any KDM1A inhibitor.

As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" or "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to non-API (API refers to active pharmaceutical ingredient) substances, such as disintegrants, binders, fillers and lubricants used in formulating pharmaceutical products. They are generally safe for human administration according to established government standards, including those promulgated by the U.S. food and drug administration and/or the european drug administration. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients are well known to those skilled in the art.

As used herein, "small molecule" refers to an organic compound having a molecular weight of less than 900 daltons, preferably less than 500 daltons. Molecular weight is the mass of a molecule and is calculated as the atomic weight of each constituent element in the molecular formula multiplied by the sum of the atomic numbers of that element.

As used herein, the term "comprising" (or "comprises", "comprising" or "contains") has the meaning of "comprising, especially" unless expressly specified otherwise or contradicted by context, i.e., "… is especially included, among other optional ingredients. In addition, the term also includes the narrower meanings of "consisting essentially of … …" and "consisting of … …". For example, the term "a includes B and C" has the meaning of "a includes B and C, among others," where a may include other optional ingredients (e.g., "a includes B, C and D" would also be encompassed), but the term also includes the meaning of "a consists essentially of B and C" and the meaning of "a consists of B and C" (i.e., no other ingredients than B and C are included in a).

As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are used interchangeably with "one or more" and "at least one" unless expressly specified otherwise or contradicted by context. Thus, for example, a composition comprising a KDM1A inhibitor may be construed to mean a composition comprising "one or more" KDM1A inhibitors.

Examples

The following examples illustrate various aspects of the invention. Of course, these examples should be construed as merely illustrative of certain embodiments of the present invention and not as limiting the scope thereof. The results are also presented and described in the figures and drawings.

Example 2 in vitro KDM1A inhibition assay

The inhibitory activity of a compound on KDM1A can be determined using the following method.

Human recombinant KDM1A protein (GenBank accession NM-015013, amino acid 158-stop, with an N-terminal GST tag, MW:103kDa) was used.

A series of 3-fold dilutions of 30 μ M to 1nM of test compound were preincubated on ice for 15 minutes with human recombinant KDM1A enzyme (BPS Bioscience, reference 50100) in assay buffer (50mM sodium phosphate ph 7.4). Each concentration of inhibitor was tested in duplicate. The enzymatic reaction was carried out by appK at KDM1AMPriming was initiated by addition of dimethyl H3K4 peptide substrate (Anaspec, ref 63677). After incubation at 37 ℃ for 30 min, Amplex Red reagent and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) solution were added to detect H formed in the enzymatic reaction according to the recommendations of the supplier (Invitrogen)2O2. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes in the dark and the Amplex Red reagent was assayed for conversion to highly fluorescent resorufin (resoraufin) using an Infinite F200TeCAN fluorescent microplate reader (λ excitation 540nm, λ emission 590nm)And (4) transformation. Maximum demethylase activity of KDM1A was obtained in the absence of inhibitor and background fluorescence was corrected in the absence of KDM 1A. IC50 values for each inhibitor were calculated from a minimum of two independent experiments using GraphPad Prisms software.

Varfeldstat is a KDM1A inhibitor, with a mean IC of 101 + -40 nM as obtained in the KDM1A assay described herein50The values are shown.

Treatment all patients received varespartat (as free base) at a dose of 1.2 mg/day, orally in a single capsule, administered over 8 weeks on a 5 day/2 day rest schedule.

3.2BPD queue

Six BPD patients were enrolled, but one was withdrawn, so the results described herein correspond to 5 BPD subjects eligible for analysis. A summary (demographics at baseline) of the patients enrolled in the BPD cohort can be seen in table 1.

3.3 evaluation of effectiveness in BPD queue

Assessment of treatment efficacy in BPD patients was performed using a validated scale dedicated to BPD (borderline personality disorder checklist (BPDCL)). BPDCL is a tool specifically designed to assess the subjective burden of BPD in the previous month and also to assess BPD changes following therapeutic intervention. BPDCL was originally developed in the netherlands, and was subsequently translated into english, spanish, and other languages, and has been applied to clinical and non-clinical samples. BPDCL has been shown to have adequate psychometric properties and is currently considered the most reliable scale for assessing the effectiveness of treatment for BPD.

BPDCL is a 47 self-reported questionnaire; these projects are based on DSM-IV BPD standards, literature describing BPD performance, and clinical observations. Items were rated on the 5 point Likert scale, ranging from "no at all" to "extreme," indicating the extent to which responders suffered from 47 different BPD problems within the last month. The 47 items in BPDCL can be clustered together into the following 9 BPD domains:

1) disposal of

2) Relationships between

3) Disorder of identity recognition

4) Impulse

5) (QUASI) SELF-KILLING

6) Emotional instability

7) Empty and deficient syndrome

8) Angry control

9) Dissociation (dissociation)

The sum score of BPDCL (BPDCL total score) may be used as an overall index of subjective burden caused by BPD symptoms, or the total score of one or more individual BPD fields may be used.

BPDCL was performed on day 1 (visit 1), which corresponds to baseline (i.e. before starting treatment with vardenstat) and on week 8 of treatment with vardenstat (visit 7). The effectiveness evaluation is always determined before the treatment administration on the corresponding visit day.

The effectiveness evaluation is performed by evaluating the change from baseline (visit 1) to week 8 (visit 7) of the aggression-related BPDCL domain composite score (i.e., the score resulting from the composite of the scores of the BPDCL domains related to aggression, i.e., anger control, impulse and (quasi) suicide), the BPDCL total score, and the non-aggression-related BPDCL domain composite score (i.e., the score resulting from the composite of all other BPDCL domain scores, i.e., rejection, relationship, identity recognition obstacle, emotional instability, emptiness and dissociation).

Statistical analysis was performed using paired single-tailed t-test analysis to compare visit 1 and visit 7 values.

3.4 results

Treatment of BPD patients with vardenstat was safe, well tolerated, and had no significant adverse events.

Treatment of BPD patients with vardenstat for 8 weeks produced a significant improvement in challenge as shown by a statistically significant reduction in the challenge-related BPDCL domain composite score from visit 1 to visit 7 (as detailed in example 3.3 above), as shown in figure 1 (p ═ 0.0029).

Unexpectedly, not only the aggressively related composite scores, but also the BPDCL total score and the non-aggressively related BPDCL domain composite score both showed statistically significant reductions after 2 months of treatment with vardenafil as shown in fig. 2 (total BPDCL score, p 0.0048) and fig. 3 (non-aggressively related BPDCL domain composite score, p 0.0234).

The significant improvement observed in the total score of BPDCL and the non-aggressive composite score by treatment of BPD patients with varespamat indicates that KDM1A inhibitors such as varespamat have additional therapeutic effects in BPD patients beyond treatment challenge.

In summary, the data and results obtained in example 3 support the discovery that KDM1A inhibitors, particularly vardenstat, can be used to treat BPD (including treating BPD core features or BPD symptoms unrelated to challenge).

Using the protocol described in example 3 herein, the therapeutic efficacy of other KDM1A inhibitors as BPD treatment can be demonstrated.
