Abstract
INTRODUCTION Delayed graft function (DGF) following renal transplantation is a manifestation of acute kidney injury (AKI) leading to poor long-term outcome. Current treatments have limited effectiveness in preventing DGF. Interleukin-18 (IL18), a biomarker of AKI, induces interferon-γ expression and immune activation. GSK1070806, an anti-IL18 monoclonal antibody, neutralizes activated (mature) IL18 released from damaged cells following inflammasome activation. This phase IIa, single-arm trial assessed the effect of a single dose of GSK1070806 on DGF occurrence post donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidney transplantation. METHODS The 3 mg/kg intravenous dose was selected based on prior studies and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, indicating the high likelihood of a rapid and high level of IL18 target engagement when administered prior to kidney allograft reperfusion. Utilization of a Bayesian sequential design with a background standard-of-care DGF rate of 50% based on literature, and confirmed via extensive registry data analyses, enabled a statistical efficacy assessment with a minimal sample size. The primary endpoint was DGF frequency, defined as dialysis requirement ≤7 days post transplantation (except for hyperkalemia). Secondary endpoints included safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic biomarkers. RESULTS GSK1070806 administration was associated with IL18-GSK1070806 complex detection and increased total serum IL18 levels due to IL18 half-life prolongation induced by GSK1070806 binding. Interferon-γ-induced chemokine levels declined or remained unchanged in most patients. Although the study was concluded prior to the Bayesian-defined stopping point, 4/7 enrolled patients (57%) had DGF, exceeding the 50% standard-of-care rate, and an additional two patients, although not reaching the protocol-defined DGF definition, demonstrated poor graft function. Six of seven patients experienced serious adverse events (SAEs), including two treatment-related SAEs. CONCLUSION Overall, using a Bayesian design and extensive PBPK dose modeling with only a small sample size, it was deemed unlikely that GSK1070806 would be efficacious in preventing DGF in the enrolled DCD transplant population. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02723786.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study is to verify the in vivo stability, to determine the biodistribution and to estimate the unspecific radiotoxicity of an (211)At-labelled CD33-antibody ((211)At-antiCD33) in mice with a view to therapeutic application in treating leukaemia. ANIMALS, METHODS (211)At was produced via the (209)Bi(a,2n)(211)At reaction and was linked via 3-(211)At-succinimidyl-benzoate to the antiCD33-antibody. The biodistribution and the in vivo stability in serum were determined after i.v.-injection in NMRI nu/nu-mice. For toxicity experiments, mice received either three times 315-650 kBq (211)At-antiCD33 or unlabelled antibody and NaCl-solution respectively. RESULTS (211)At-antiCD33 showed a characteristic biodistribution complying with the unspecific antibody retention in the reticular endothelial system. The largest proportion of radioactivity remained in blood and blood-rich tissues with a minor accumulation in the thyroid and stomach. After 21 h, >85% of activity in serum still represented intact antibody. Mice showed no difference in unspecific toxicity of (211)At-labelled antibodies over six months compared to those treated with unlabelled antibody and NaCl-solution respectively, with regard to histopathologic lesions, survival time, behaviour and haemograms. CONCLUSION The radiolabelling method yielded adequate in vivo stability of (211)At-antiCD33. Biodistribution with rapid elimination of free (211)At via kidneys and urine complies with requirements for targeted therapy. Activity doses potentially required for treatment do not elicit radiotoxicity to normal organs in mice. Further development is required to enhance the apparent specific activity and to verify the efficacy in an adequate animal model before phase I clinical studies in leukaemia can be envisaged.

Abstract
Osteoactivin (OA) is more highly expressed in the bones of osteopetrotic mutant rats (op/op) than in those of their normal littermates and is the homologue of human nmb, a cDNA more highly expressed in melanoma-derived cell lines of low metastatic potential, and of mouse DC-HIL, which has been implicated in endothelial cell adhesion. The human OA gene is found on chromosome 7p15.1 and consists of 11 exons spanning 28.3 kb. Murine OA is encoded by a highly similar gene of 11 exons spanning 20.2 kb on mouse chromosome 6. Human OA uses the same transcriptional initiation site in both bone and kidney as was reported for melanoma cells. OA is expressed in primary human and mouse osteoblast cultures at all stages of differentiation, with increased levels observed concurrently with the expression of osteoblast phenotype markers. OA is also expressed in a wide variety of human and mouse tissues as determined by RT-PCR analysis. Immunohistochemical investigation of OA expression in late mouse embryonic development showed very high, cell-specific expression in the nervous system, basal layer of the skin, germinal cells of hair follicles, and in the forming nephrons of the kidney. Continuing investigation of the cell-specific expression of OA in bone as well as in other tissues will lead to a better understanding of its function in the development of these cell types.
