Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of MEDI4893, an Investigational, Extended-Half-Life, Anti-Staphylococcus aureus Alpha-Toxin Human Monoclonal Antibody, in Healthy Adults.

ABSTRACT: MEDI4893 is an investigational immunoglobulin G1(?) monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to and neutralizes alpha-toxin, a key Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor. A triple-amino-acid substitution, M252Y/S254T/T256E, was engineered into the MEDI4893 Fc region to extend its serum half-life. A phase 1, double-blind, dose escalation study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, anti-alpha-toxin-neutralizing activity, and antidrug antibody (ADA) response of MEDI4893 following a single intravenous infusion in healthy adults 18 to 65 years of age. Thirty-three subjects were randomly assigned to receive MEDI4893 at 225 mg (n = 3), 750 mg (n = 3), 2,250 mg (n = 8), or 5,000 mg (n = 12) or placebo (n = 7) and were followed for 360 days. Adverse events were mild or moderate in severity; none were serious. The MEDI4893 peak serum concentration increased dose proportionally from 77.2 ?g/ml (225-mg dose) to 1,784 ?g/ml (5,000-mg dose). The area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 360 days also increased dose proportionally, from 4,840 ?g · day/ml (225-mg dose) to 91,493 ?g · day/ml (5,000-mg dose), indicating linear pharmacokinetics. MEDI4893's terminal half-life was estimated to be 80 to 112 days, which is approximately 4-fold longer than the half-lives of other human immunoglobulin G antibodies. The alpha-toxin-neutralizing activity in serum correlated highly with the MEDI4893 concentrations in serum. Three adults transiently tested positive for ADA on day 151, but this did not have an impact on MEDI4893 serum concentrations or the MEDI4893 safety profile; no subjects exhibited serum ADA at the study end. These data support the continued development of MEDI4893 for the prevention of S. aureus-mediated pneumonia. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under identifier NCT02296320.).

MEDI4893 is an investigational immunoglobulin G1(κ) monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to and neutralizes alpha-toxin, a key Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor. A triple-amino-acid substitution, M252Y/S254T/T256E, was engineered into the MEDI4893 Fc region to extend its serum half-life.

Project description:Abstract Background Suvratoxumab (suvra), an extended half-life (~80 days), Staphylococcus aureus (SA) alpha toxin-neutralizing IgG monoclonal antibody, is under investigation for prevention of SA pneumonia in patients on mechanical ventilation (MV). We characterized the serum PK of suvra using population pharmacokinetics (popPK) in both healthy volunteers and MV patients and quantified the proportion of patients reaching the serum target of 211 ?g/mL at 30 days post-dose. Methods The popPK analysis included 1,368 serum samples from two early phase studies (NCT02296320; EudraCT 2014-001097-34): (1) Phase 1 study in 26 healthy adults receiving single IV suvra doses ranging from 0.225g to 5g, with PK sampled up to 360 days; and (2) Phase 2 study in MV patients with PCR-confirmed SA colonization of lower respiratory tract receiving one suvra IV dose of 2g (n = 15) or 5g (n = 96), with PK sampled up to 100 days. Results A two-compartment linear model with weight-based scaling of the PK parameters adequately described the serum PK data (Figure 1). MV status, number of days on MV, and age impacted the PK of suvra. A moderate between-subject variability (<45% CV) was estimated for key PK parameters. An estimated two-fold increase in MV patients’ volume of distribution parameters compared with healthy volunteers explained the observed Cmax differences between the two groups (1145±369 ?g/mL vs. 1783±396 ?g/mL) (Figures 2 and 3). Although age, MV status and days on MV post-dose appeared to be associated with higher systemic clearance (CL) in the model, this estimate could be biased due to limited PK data available for only one half-life (~90 days) of the drug in MV patients (Figure 2). More patients achieved suvra levels above the PK target following the 5 g (73.5%; 50/68) vs. 2 g dose (7.6%; 1/13) at 30 days post-dose. Conclusion MV status, post-dose duration on MV, body weight, and age were identified as statistically significant covariates influencing the PK of suvra. Serum PK and popPK analyses support the 5g dose for future studies with suvra in MV patients. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Project description:Abstract Background Staphylococcus aureus (SA) pneumonia imposes significant morbidity and mortality in mechanically ventilated, intensive care unit (MV ICU) patients despite best clinical care. We assessed efficacy, PK, AT-neutralizing antibodies (AT NAbs), and safety of suvratoxumab (suvra) in MV ICU subjects in the placebo-controlled, randomized Phase 2 SAATELLITE study (NCT02296320; EudraCT 2014-001097-34). Methods Subjects with PCR-confirmed SA colonization of the lower respiratory tract were randomized to either a single intravenous infusion of 5,000 mg suvra (n = 96) or placebo (n = 100) and followed for 190 days post dose. Efficacy endpoints were Endpoint Adjudication Committee-determined relative risk reduction (RRR) of SA pneumonia incidence in suvra vs. placebo recipients within 30 days post dose (primary endpoint, tested at 2-sided ? = 0.1), incidence of all-cause pneumonia, and all-cause pneumonia or death. Serum suvra PK and levels of AT NAbs were measured through 90 days post dose and analyzed for statistical correlation. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) were assessed through 190 days post dose. Results Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Suvra provided 31.9% RRR in incidence of SA pneumonia vs. placebo (17.7% vs. 26%; P = 0.166), 30% RRR (P = 0.146) in incidence of all-cause pneumonia, and 23% RRR (P = 0.164) in incidence of all-cause pneumonia or death. Suvra reduced mean hospital stay and ICU duration by 3.0 and 2.4 days, resp. vs. placebo. Mean serum ± SD suvra level was 296 ± 131 µg/mL at 30 days post dose. Serum AT Nab ± SD levels reached 156.03 ± 72.48 IU/mL at 2 days post dose, declining slowly to 33.74 ± 16.04 IU/mL by 90 days post dose. AT NAbs correlated with PK (r2 = 0.7), thereby confirming functional activity of suvra over time. Proportion of subjects with TEAEs or SAEs was similar between groups: ?1 TEAE (93.8% suvra; 93.0% placebo); ?1 serious; and/or ?grade 3 severity SAE (66.7% suvra; 58.0% placebo). Conclusion A single intravenous dose of suvra produced a trend toward reduced incidence of SA pneumonia, health resource savings, sustained functional exposure in serum, and an acceptable safety profile. These results support continued development of suvra in MV ICU patients. Disclosures All Authors: No reported Disclosures.
