Assessment of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Spesolimab, a Humanised Anti-interleukin-36 Receptor Monoclonal Antibody, in Healthy Non-Japanese and Japanese Subjects: Results from Phase I Clinical Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The interleukin-36 signalling pathway is associated with pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory diseases. Spesolimab is a selective, humanised, IgG1 antibody that targets the interleukin-36 receptor. We aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of spesolimab in healthy non-Japanese and Japanese subjects.

Methods

Five phase I clinical studies (three placebo-controlled dose-escalation, two open-label) were conducted in healthy volunteers; single or multiple doses of spesolimab were administered by intravenous infusion or subcutaneous injection. Plasma samples were collected to investigate the pharmacokinetics of spesolimab and evaluate changes with respect to dose, frequency of dosing, formulation an
