Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of Etrolizumab in Children With Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease: Results from a Phase 1 Randomized Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Etrolizumab, a humanized anti-β7 antibody, has not been studied in children. Here, we evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of etrolizumab in children with inflammatory bowel disease.

Methods

Patients age 4 to 17 years with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease were randomized 1:1 to receive 1.5mg/kg of etrolizumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks (q4w) or 3.0mg/kg every 8 weeks (q8w) for 16 weeks in this open-label phase 1 trial. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and efficacy were assessed.

Results

Of the 24 patients treated, 21 completed the study. In the groups of 1.5mg/kg q4w and 3.0mg/kg q8w, respectively, mean (SD) maximum concentration (Cmax) was 9.8 (4.86) µg/mL and 18.1 (6.25) µg/mL; and mea
