Model-based population pharmacokinetic analysis of tislelizumab in patients with advanced tumors.

ABSTRACT: Tislelizumab, a humanized immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal antibody, is a programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor designed to minimize Fc gamma receptor binding on macrophages to limit antibody-dependent phagocytosis, a potential mechanism of resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of tislelizumab was analyzed with population PK modeling using 14,473 observed serum concentration data points from 2596 cancer patients who received intravenous (i.v.) tislelizumab at 0.5-10 mg/kg every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks (q3w), or a 200 mg i.v. flat dose q3w in 12 clinical studies. Tislelizumab exhibited linear PK across the dose range tested. Baseline body weight, albumin, tumor size, tumor type, and presence of antidrug antibodies were identified as significant covariates
