A Phase 1 Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of Posdinemab (JNJ-63733657) in Healthy Chinese Adults.

ABSTRACT: Posdinemab, a humanized immunoglobulin G1/κ monoclonal antibody, binds with high affinity to phosphorylated tau protein which is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology. Posdinemab reduced tau seeding in murine models and was well tolerated in Phase-1 clinical studies. This open-label, single-arm, Phase-1 study examined the effects of posdinemab with single intravenous dose (60 mg/kg) in healthy adults from China. The main objectives were to assess posdinemab serum pharmacokinetics (PK, primary), safety and tolerability (secondary), and presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs; secondary). Results were compared with Phase-1 European first-in-human (NCT03375697) and Japanese (NCT03689153) studies. Healthy Chinese participants (N = 10), mean age 60.0 (SD 3.80) years and 60% fe
