Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal Antibody, Sotrovimab, Delivered Intravenously or Intramuscularly in Japanese and Caucasian Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Sotrovimab 500 mg administered by a single intravenous (IV) infusion has been granted special approval for emergency use in Japan for treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults and children aged ≥ 12 years weighing ≥ 40 kg. This Phase 1, single-dose study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of IV or intramuscular (IM) sotrovimab 500 mg doses versus placebo in healthy Japanese and Caucasian volunteers.

Methods

This was a two-part, Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind study. In Part 1, participants received a single sotrovimab 500 mg IV infusion or matching placebo on Day 1. In Part 2, participants received a single sotrovimab 500 mg IM dose or matching placebo on Day 1, administered as two 4 mL injections.

Results

There was no effect of ethnicity on the peak or total serum exposure of IV sotrovimab through Week 18; after adjusting for body weight, the point estimate and 90 % confidence interval for the ratio of total exposure between Japanese and Caucasian participants fell within conventional bioavailability bounds (80-125%). Geometric mean C_max and AUC_last following a single IM administration of sotrovimab were higher in Japanese participants compared with Caucasian participants, even after adjustment for body weight. Overall, a single IV or IM dose of sotrovimab was well tolerated by both Japanese and Caucasian participants.

Conclusions

After adjusting for body weight, exposures following a single IV dose of sotrovimab 500 mg were similar between Japanese and Caucasian participants, and higher in Japanese participants following IM administration. Higher exposures were not associated with any safety signals.

Project description:Background and objectivesRotigotine is a dopamine receptor agonist with activity across the D1 through to D5 receptors as well as select serotonergic and adrenergic sites; continuous transdermal delivery of rotigotine with replacement of the patch once daily maintains stable plasma concentrations over 24 h. Rotigotine is indicated for the treatment of early and advanced-stage Parkinson's disease and moderate-to-severe idiopathic restless legs syndrome. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug may vary between subjects of different ethnic origin. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of single-dose treatment with rotigotine transdermal patch in Japanese and Caucasian subjects.MethodsIn this open-label, parallel-group study, healthy male and female subjects of Japanese or Caucasian ethnic origin were matched by sex, body mass index, and age. A single transdermal patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine (patch content 4.5 mg) was applied to the ventral/lateral abdomen for 24 h. The main outcome measures were the plasma concentrations of unconjugated and total rotigotine and its desalkyl metabolites and derived pharmacokinetic parameters (area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to last quantifiable concentration [AUClast], maximum plasma concentration [Cmax], and body weight- and dose-normalized values).ResultsThe pharmacokinetic analysis included 48 subjects (24 Japanese, 24 Caucasian). The mean apparent dose of rotigotine was 2.0±0.5 mg for Japanese subjects and 2.08±0.58 mg for Caucasians. Plasma concentration-time profiles of unconjugated rotigotine and of the main metabolites were similar for both ethnic groups. Parameters of model-independent pharmacokinetics, Cmax, time to Cmax (tmax), and AUClast, for unconjugated rotigotine showed no statistically significant differences between Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Values of concentration-dependent pharmacokinetic parameters were higher in female subjects; this difference was minimized after correction for body weight. A statistically significant difference between ethnic groups was observed for total rotigotine concentrations (total rotigotine=unconjugated rotigotine+conjugated rotigotine), with slightly lower values in Caucasians after correction for body weight and apparent dose. No relevant differences were observed between males and females. Inter-individual variability was high. The terminal half-life for unconjugated rotigotine was 5.3 h in Japanese subjects and 5.7 h in Caucasians; corresponding values for total rotigotine were 8.6 h and 9.6 h. Less than 0.1% of the apparent dose was renally excreted as the parent compound. Renal elimination of total rotigotine covers 11.7% of absorbed dose in Japanese subjects and 10.8% of the absorbed dose in Caucasians, whereas the renal elimination via total despropyl rotigotine was 8.2 and 7.1%, respectively. The corresponding values for total desthienylethyl rotigotine were 3.5% in Japanese subjects and 4.2% Caucasians. Most adverse events were mild in intensity and typical for dopamine agonists or for transdermal therapeutics.ConclusionAdministration of a single patch delivering 2 mg/24 h rotigotine resulted in comparable pharmacokinetic profiles in Japanese and Caucasian subjects. The rotigotine transdermal patch was generally well-tolerated. Our findings suggest similar dose requirements for Japanese and Caucasian populations.

Project description:Background and objectiveAtacicept is an inhibitor of the B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), and is being studied in relation to immunological disease. Currently, limited data on atacicept are available in non-Caucasian subjects. Pharmacokinetic data from earlier studies of atacicept were derived using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which was subsequently found to have inadequacies. Hence, a new bioanalytical ELISA for total atacicept was developed and validated. We conducted this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase I study to compare the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of atacicept in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects while generating pharmacokinetic data using the new ELISA.MethodsJapanese subjects aged ≥ 18 to ≤ 55 years (n = 24) were randomized (1:1:1:1) to a single subcutaneous dose of atacicept 25, 75, or 150 mg or placebo. Caucasian subjects were then enrolled to match the Japanese subjects' gender, body weight (± 20%), and height (± 15%).ResultsAtacicept was well tolerated and there were no clinically significant differences in treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, or laboratory parameters between the Japanese and Caucasian subjects. Most (90%) TEAEs were mild; no severe or serious TEAEs or deaths occurred. Weight-adjusted atacicept exposure was comparable between ethnicities and across doses: the Japanese/Caucasian ratio of the area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the last sampling point (AUC0-t) was 107.21% (90% CI 93.42-123.02%) and the Japanese/Caucasian ratio of maximum serum concentration (Cmax) was 95.74% (90% CI 74.26-123.43%; ANCOVA). Median time to reach Cmax (tmax) was 20-60 h across all subjects. Dose-exposure relationships were comparable for the two ethnicities, with dose-normalized AUC0-t decreasing with increasing dose, indicating nonlinear pharmacokinetics for the doses examined. There were no statistically significant differences between ethnicities in the pharmacokinetics-dose relationship. Some transient dose-related decreases in mean serum immunoglobulin (Ig)A and IgM, but not IgG, were observed after atacicept administration. There were small transient increases in peripheral B cell numbers in the first 4 days after dosing that were larger with atacicept than with placebo, with no apparent dose relationship. No anti-atacicept antibodies were detected.ConclusionThe safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of atacicept in healthy Japanese subjects were comparable to those in healthy Caucasian subjects.
