Translation of Monoclonal Antibodies Pharmacokinetics from Animal to Human Using Physiologically Based Modeling in Open Systems Pharmacology (OSP) Suite: A Retrospective Analysis of Bevacizumab. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2129. [PMID: 37631343 PMCID: PMC10459442 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15082129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Interspecies translation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) pharmacokinetics (PK) in presence of target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) is particularly challenging. Incorporation of TMDD in physiologically based PK (PBPK) modeling is recent and needs to be consolidated and generalized to provide better prediction of TMDD regarding inter-species translation during preclinical and clinical development steps of mAbs. The objective of this study was to develop a generic PBPK translational approach for mAbs using the open-source software (PK-Sim® and Mobi®). The translation of bevacizumab based on data in non-human primates (NHP), healthy volunteers (HV), and cancer patients was used as a case example for model demonstration purpose. A PBPK model for bevacizumab concentration-time data was developed using data from literature and the Open Systems Pharmacology (OSP) Suite version 10. PK-sim® was used to build the linear part of bevacizumab PK (mainly FcRn-mediated), whereas MoBi® was used to develop the target-mediated part. The model was first developed for NHP and used for a priori PK prediction in HV. Then, the refined model obtained in HV was used for a priori prediction in cancer patients. A priori predictions were within 2-fold prediction error (predicted/observed) for both area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) and maximum concentration (Cmax) and all the predicted concentrations were within 2-fold average fold error (AFE) and average absolute fold error (AAFE). Sensitivity analysis showed that FcRn-mediated distribution and elimination processes must be accounted for at all mAb concentration levels, whereas the lower the mAb concentration, the more significant the target-mediated elimination. This project is the first step to generalize the full PBPK translational approach in Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD) of mAbs using OSP Suite.

A phase I study comparing the biosimilarity of the pharmacokinetics and safety of recombinant humanized anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody injection with Avastin ® in healthy Chinese male subjects. BMC Pharmacol Toxicol 2023; 24:36. [PMID: 37245022 DOI: 10.1186/s40360-023-00673-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The biosimilar landscape for malignancies continues to grow, with several biosimilars for reference product bevacizumab currently available. Bevacizumab has been shown to be well tolerated; however, the safety of recombinant humanized anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody injection remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and immunogenicity of recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody injection to that of Avastin® in healthy Chinese male volunteers. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, single-dose, and parallel-group study was performed on 88 healthy men who randomly (1:1) received either the test drug as an intravenous infusion of 3 mg/kg or Avastin®. The primary PK parameter was area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t). Secondary endpoints included maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax), AUC from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf), safety, and immunogenicity. Serum bevacizumab concentrations were measured using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The baseline characteristics were similar among the two groups. The 90% confidence interval (CI) for the geometric mean ratio of AUC0-t, Cmax and AUCinf between the test group and reference group were 91.71%-103.18%, 95.72%-107.49% and 91.03%-103.43%, respectively. These values were within the predefined bioequivalence margin of 80.00%-125.00%, demonstrating the biosimilarity of the test drug and Avastin®. Eighty-one treatment-emergent adverse events were reported, with a comparable incidence among the test group (90.91%) and the reference group (93.18%). No serious adverse events were reported. The incidence of ADA antibodies in the two groups was low and similar. CONCLUSION In healthy Chinese men, PK similarity of recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody injection to Avastin® was confirmed, with comparable safety and immunogenicity. Subsequent studies should investigate recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody injection in patients setting. TRIAL REGISTRATION Registered 08/10/2019, CTR20191923.

Efficacy and safety of adding bevacizumab biosimilar or original drug to platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ther Adv Med Oncol 2022; 14:17588359221130501. [PMID: 36312816 PMCID: PMC9597053 DOI: 10.1177/17588359221130501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The role of bevacizumab combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin in the first-line treatment of advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been supported by a large number of data. However, whether bevacizumab biosimilars have the same efficacy and safety as the original drug is still controversial. This meta-analysis was designed to evaluate whether bevacizumab biosimilars have the same clinical efficacy and safety as the original drug in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC. Methods Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP) and the ClinicalTrail.gov website were extensively searched using relevant search criteria. We included phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the efficacy and safety of marketed biosimilars and Avastin in the first-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the RoB 2 assessment scale, and the RevMan 5.4 statistical software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 6360 patients were included in 11 RCTs. There was no statistical difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of effectiveness [objective response rate (at week 18), disease control rate (at week 18), median duration of response, median progression-free survival, median overall survival (OS), and OS after 12 months]. In terms of safety [treatment-emergent adverse events (grade ⩾3) and treatment-related adverse events (grade ⩾3)], there was also no significant difference between biosimilars and Avastin. Conclusions The efficacy and safety of bevacizumab biosimilars in the treatment of advanced non-squamous NSCLC are highly similar to those of the original drug combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to compare the similarity of the pharmacokinetics (PKs), safety, and immunogenicity of GB222, a potential bevacizumab biosimilar, to that of reference bevacizumab in Chinese healthy males. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, parallel-group clinical trial performed in 84 Chinese healthy males, who were randomly assigned to receive a single infusion dose of 1 mg/kg GB222 or bevacizumab with an 84-days follow-up. The primary endpoint was the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from zero to the last quantifiable concentration at time t (AUC0-t). The second endpoints were the safety and immunogenicity evaluation. The PK bioequivalence was verified by the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of the geometrical mean (GM) ratio for AUC0-t falling within the bioequivalence margin, 80-125%. RESULTS The PK profiles of GB222 and bevacizumab were comparable. The 90% CIs of GM ratio of GB222 to bevacizumab for AUC0-t was within the pre-specified bioequivalence margin. The most common treatment-related adverse event was sinus bradycardia. Seventeen subjects (20.2%) tested positive for anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). CONCLUSION GB222 was found to be comparable to bevacizumab in terms of PKs, safety, and immunogenicity for Chinese healthy males. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR-IIR-17,011,143.

WESTERN PACIFIC 2021; 11:100151. [PMID: 34327360 PMCID: PMC8315452 DOI: 10.1016/j.lanwpc.2021.100151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2021] [Revised: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, new drug development on lung cancer is in full swing in China. The aim of this study was to overview the changing landscape of anti-lung cancer drug clinical trials in mainland China from 2005 to 2020. METHODS We analysed anti-lung cancer drug clinical trials registered on three websites including the China National Medical Products Administration Centre for Drug Evaluation platform, the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry and ClinicalTrials.gov. FINDINGS A total of 1595 anti-lung cancer drug clinical trials from Jan 1st, 2005 to Dec 31st, 2020 were extracted, which included 630 (39•5%) investigator-initiated trials (IITs), 698 (43•8%) domestic industry-sponsored trials (ISTs), and 267 (16•7%) international ISTs. During the past 16 years, the number of anti-lung cancer clinical trials including IITs and domestic ISTs had a remarkable growth, however, the number of international ISTs increased slowly. The number of principal clinical trial units also increased significantly over time. Of the 1595 trials, the largest growth was observed in phase I trials during 2013-2020, with an average annual growth rate of 38•6%. 278 trials were led by principal investigators (PI) from Guangdong, followed by Beijing (n=273) and Shanghai (n=257). Among the 965 ISTs, clinical trials involving targeted drugs (588, 60•9%) accounted for the largest proportion, followed by immunotherapeutic drugs (284, 29•4%), cytotoxic drugs (75, 7•8%), and traditional Chinese medicine (18, 1•9%). In terms of targeted drugs, EGFR-TKIs remained the most studied drugs (225/588, 38•27%). As for immunotherapy, 125 out of 284 (44•01%) trials involved PD-1 inhibitors, 60 (21•13%) trials involved PD-L1 inhibitors, and seven (2•46%) trials involved CTLA-4 inhibitors. INTERPRETATION In the past 16 years, the development of anti-lung cancer drug clinical trials has achieved much progress in mainland China. The most progress lied in targeted therapy and immunotherapy. FUNDING This work was financially supported in part by China National Major Project for New Drug Innovation (2017ZX09304015) and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (CAMS) Innovation Fund for Medical Sciences (CIFMS) (2016-I2M-1-001).

Abstract
PURPOSE Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor-specific angiogenesis in some cancers. MYL-1402O is a proposed bevacizumab biosimilar. METHODS The primary objective of this single-center, randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel-group, phase 1 study in healthy male volunteers was to evaluate bioequivalence of MYL-1402O to EU and US-reference bevacizumab, and EU-reference bevacizumab to US-reference bevacizumab. The primary pharmacokinetic parameter was area under the serum concentration-time curve from 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞). Pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed using general linear models of analysis of variance. Secondary endpoints included safety and tolerability. RESULTS Of 111 enrolled subjects, 110 were included in the pharmacokinetic analysis (MYL-1402O, n = 37; EU-reference bevacizumab, n = 36; US-reference bevacizumab, n = 37). Bioequivalence was demonstrated between MYL-1402O and EU-reference bevacizumab, MYL-1402O and US-reference bevacizumab, and between EU- and US-reference bevacizumab where least squares mean ratios of AUC0-∞ were close to 1, and 90% CIs were within the equivalence range (0.80-1.25). Secondary pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC from 0 to time of last quantifiable concentration [AUC0-t], peak serum concentration [Cmax], time to Cmax, elimination rate constant, and elimination half-life) were also comparable, with 90% CIs for ratios of AUC0-t and Cmax within 80-125%. Treatment-emergent adverse events were similar across all three treatment groups and were consistent with clinical data for bevacizumab. CONCLUSION MYL-1402O was well tolerated and demonstrated pharmacokinetic and safety profiles similar to EU-reference bevacizumab and US-reference bevacizumab in healthy male volunteers. No new significant safety issues emerged (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02469987; ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu EudraCT, 2014-005621-12; June 12, 2015).

Equivalent efficacy study of QL1101 and bevacizumab on untreated advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer patients: a phase 3 randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Cancer Biol Med 2021; 18:j.issn.2095-3941.2020.0212. [PMID: 33710815 PMCID: PMC8330542 DOI: 10.20892/j.issn.2095-3941.2020.0212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2020] [Accepted: 08/14/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This phase 3 study aimed to test equivalence in efficacy and safety for QL1101, a bevacizumab analogue in Chinese patients with untreated locally advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Eligible patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive carboplatin and paclitaxel in combination with either QL1101 or bevacizumab, 15 mg/kg every 3-week for 6 cycles. This was followed by maintenance treatment with single agent QL1101 every 3-week. The primary end-point was objective response rate (ORR), with secondary end-points being progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Of 675 patients, 535 eligible patients were randomized to the QL1101 group (n = 269) and bevacizumab group (n = 266). ORRs were 52.8% and 56.8%, respectively, for the QL1101 and bevacizumab groups, with an ORR hazard ratio 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.8-0131.1). The PFS, OS, DCR, and AEs were comparable between the 2 groups, which remained the same after stratification according to epidermal growth factor receptor mutation or smoking history. CONCLUSIONS QL1101 showed similar efficacy and safety profiles as compared to bevacizumab among Chinese patients with untreated locally advanced non-squamous NSCLC.

Shin D, Lee YJ, Choi J, Lee D, Park M, Petkova M. A phase I, randomized, single-dose pharmacokinetic study comparing sb8 (bevacizumab biosimilar) with reference bevacizumab in healthy volunteers. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2020; 86:567-575. [PMID: 32949267 PMCID: PMC7515939 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-020-04144-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity between SB8, a bevacizumab biosimilar, and the European Union (EU) and United States (US) reference products (bevacizumab-EU, bevacizumab-US). METHODS In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, and single-dose study, healthy volunteers were randomized to receive a 3 mg/kg dose of SB8, bevacizumab-EU, or bevacizumab-US via intravenous infusion. Primary endpoints were area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf) and to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast), and maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax). Bioequivalence was achieved if 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the ratios of the geometric least squares means (LSMeans) of primary endpoints were within the predefined bioequivalence margins of 80.00-125.00%. Safety and immunogenicity were also investigated. RESULTS The 90% CIs for the geometric LSMean ratios of AUCinf, AUClast and Cmax were all within the prespecified bioequivalence margins. Geometric LSMean ratios for SB8/bevacizumab-EU, SB8/bevacizumab-US and bevacizumab-EU/bevacizumab-US were 88.01%, 88.48% and 100.54% for AUCinf, 88.65%, 89.08% and 100.49% for AUClast and 99.59%, 101.15% and 101.56% for Cmax, respectively. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) across treatment groups was comparable (SB8: 50.0%, bevacizumab-EU: 37.5%, bevacizumab-US: 53.8%). Most TEAEs were mild and considered as not related to the study drug. No deaths or treatment discontinuations due to adverse events occurred. Incidence of anti-drug antibodies was also comparable between all groups and no neutralizing antibodies were detected. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated pharmacokinetic bioequivalence and similar safety and immunogenicity profiles of SB8 to both reference products, bevacizumab-EU and bevacizumab-US, and of bevacizumab-EU to bevacizumab-US.

Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2020; 86:193-202. [PMID: 32627073 DOI: 10.1007/s00280-020-04111-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To demonstrate pharmacokinetic (PK) equivalence and to compare safety of INTP24 (bevacizumab biosimilar) with that of US-bevacizumab and EU-bevacizumab in healthy male subjects. METHODS In this randomized, parallel-group, double-blind study, male subjects were randomized (1:1:1) to receive a single 1 mg/kg intravenous infusion of either INTP24, US-bevacizumab, or EU-bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was area under serum concentration (AUC) from time zero to infinity (AUC0-∞). Secondary endpoints were AUC from time zero to last quantifiable concentration (AUC0-t), maximum concentration (Cmax), other PK parameters, immunogenicity, and safety. RESULTS A total of 117 subjects (39/group) were dosed; 113 subjects (37, 37, and 39 in INPT24, US-bevacizumab, and EU-bevacizumab groups, respectively) completed the study and were included in the PK analysis. Baseline demographics were similar across the three groups. The 90% confidence intervals (CI) of geometric mean ratios (GMR) of ln-transformed AUC0-∞ and Cmax of INTP24 relative to US-bevacizumab and EU-bevacizumab were within the acceptance range of 80%-125% (INTP24 vs. US-bevacizumab, 96.55-112.51% and 99.16-112.79%: INTP24 vs. EU-bevacizumab, 94.84-110.17% and 96.32-109.28%). The 90% CIs of GMRs for AUC0-t was also within 80-125% for INTP24 vs. US-bevacizumab and INTP24 vs. EU-bevacizumab. Safety and immunogenicity profiles were similar across the three groups. Twenty-one (17.95%) subjects experienced at least one AE and 9 (7.69%) were ADA positive. One treatment-related serious adverse event (varicella zoster infection) was reported in INTP24 group. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated PK bioequivalence of INTP24 to US-bevacizumab and EU-bevacizumab in healthy male subjects and showed similar safety and immunogenicity profiles across the treatment groups.
