Development of a Pharmacokinetic Model Describing Neonatal Fc Receptor-Mediated Recycling of HL2351, a Novel Hybrid Fc-Fused Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist, to Optimize Dosage Regimen.

ABSTRACT: HL2351 (hIL-1Ra-hyFc) is a novel recombinant protein formed by the fusion of two human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist components into one antibody-derived fragment crystallizable portion. Although HL2351 has a pharmacological mechanism of action similar to that of anakinra as a commercialized biopharmaceutical drug, HL2351 has been desired to reduce the dose frequency and improve therapeutic efficacy due to its long circulation half-life. In this study, we aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model for HL2351 using a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn)-mediated recycling model based on a quasi-steady-state approximation of target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) for the description of interactions between the drug and FcRn. FcRn recycling was expected in the case of HL2351 because
