Mechanistic pharmacokinetic/target engagement/pharmacodynamic (PK/TE/PD) modeling in deciphering interplay between a monoclonal antibody and its soluble target in cynomolgus monkeys.


ABSTRACT: For therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against soluble ligands, the free ligand level can, theoretically, be used as a surrogate for efficacy. However, it can be extremely challenging technically to measure free ligand level in the presence of an excessive amount of antibody-ligand complex. The interplay among such mAbs, ligands, and the downstream pharmacodynamic (PD) effects has not been well defined. Using siltuximab and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as model compounds, a pharmacokinetic (PK)/target engagement (TE) model was established via simultaneous fitting of total siltuximab, total IL-6, and free IL-6 concentration profiles following a low dose of siltuximab in cynomolgus monkeys. The model adequately captured the observed data and provided estimation of model parameters with good precision. The PK/TE model was used to predict free IL-6 profiles at higher siltuximab doses, where the accurate determination of free IL-6 concentration became technically too difficult. The measured free IL-6 levels from the low-dose groups and PK/TE model-predicted free IL-6 levels from the high-dose groups were used to drive an indirect response TE/PD model to describe the concentration-effect relationship between free IL-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP). The TE/PD model adequately captured both CRP elevation and CRP suppression in response to free IL-6 concentration change from baseline with a linear stimulation function, providing direct evidence that the PK/TE model-predicted free IL-6 levels from the high-dose groups were accurate. Overall, the results provided an integrated PK/TE/PD modeling and bioanalytical framework for prediction of efficacious dose levels and duration of action for mAbs against soluble ligands with rapid turnover.
