Target-Mediated Drug Disposition Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Model-Informed Dose Selection for the First-in-Human Study of AVB-S6-500.

ABSTRACT: AVB-S6-500 neutralized growth arrest-specific 6 (GAS6) protein and effectively inhibited AXL signaling in preclinical cancer models. A target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model was used to select first-in-human (FIH) doses for AVB-S6-500 based on predicted target (GAS6) suppression in the clinic. The effect of TMDD on AVB-S6-500 clearance was incorporated into a standard two-compartment model, providing parallel linear and nonlinear clearance. Observed AVB-S6-500 and GAS6 concentration data in cynomolgus monkeys and relevant interspecies differences were used to predict the PK (serum concentration)/PD (GAS6 suppression) relationship in humans. Human exposure and GAS6 suppression were simulated for the proposed FIH doses of 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg
