ABSTRACT: Introduction
Concizumab enhances thrombin generation (TG) potential in haemophilia patients by inhibiting tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). In EXPLORER3 (phase 1b), a dose-dependent pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationship was confirmed between concizumab dose, free TFPI and TG potential.Aim
Determine the association between concizumab exposure, PD markers (free TFPI; peak TG) and bleeding episodes to establish the minimum concizumab concentration for achieving sufficient efficacy.Methods
Free TFPI predictions were generated using an estimated concizumab-free TFPI exposure-response (Emax ) model based on concizumab phase 1/1b data for which simultaneously collected concizumab and free TFPI samples were available. Concizumab concentration at the time of a bleed was predicted using a PK model, based on available data for concizumab doses >50 μg/kg to ≤9 mg/kg. Peak TG vs concizumab concentration analyses and an Emax model were constructed based on EXPLORER3 observations.Results
The Emax model showed a tight PK/PD relationship between concizumab exposure and free TFPI; free TFPI decreased with increasing concizumab concentration. A strong correlation between concizumab concentration and peak TG was observed; concizumab >100 ng/mL re-established TG potential to within the normal reference range. Estimated EC50 values for the identified concizumab-free TFPI and concizumab-TG potential models were very similar, supporting free TFPI as an important biomarker. A correlation between bleeding episode frequency and concizumab concentration was indicated; patients with a concizumab concentration >100 ng/mL experienced less frequent bleeding. The PK model predicted that once-daily dosing would minimize within-patient concizumab PK variability.Conclusion
Concizumab phase 2 trials will target an exposure ≥100 ng/mL, with a once-daily regimen.
