A Cell-Level Systems PK-PD Model to Characterize In Vivo Efficacy of ADCs.

ABSTRACT: Here, we have presented the development of a systems pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) model for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which uses intracellular target occupancy to drive in-vivo efficacy. The model is built based on PK and efficacy data generated using Trastuzumab-Valine-Citrulline-Monomethyl Auristatin E (T-vc-MMAE) ADC in N87 (high-HER2) and GFP-MCF7 (low-HER2) tumor bearing mice. It was observed that plasma PK of all ADC analytes was similar between the two tumor models; however, total trastuzumab, unconjugated MMAE, and total MMAE exposures were >10-fold, ~1.6-fold, and ~1.8-fold higher in N87 tumors. In addition, a prolonged retention of MMAE was observed within the tumors of both the mouse models, suggesting intracellular binding of MMAE to tubulin. A systems PK model, developed by integrating single-cell PK model with tumor distribution model, was able to capture all in vivo PK data reasonably well. Intracellular occupancy of tubulin predicted by the PK model was used to drive the efficacy of ADC using a novel PK-PD model. It was found that the same set of PD parameters was able to capture MMAE induced killing of GFP-MCF7 and N87 cells in vivo. These observations highlight the benefit of adopting a systems approach for ADC and provide a robust and predictive framework for successful clinical translation of ADCs.

Project description:The development of mechanism-based, multiscale pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells is needed to enable investigation of in vitro and in vivo correlation of CAR-T cell responses and to facilitate preclinical-to-clinical translation. Toward this goal, we first developed a cell-level in vitro PD model that quantitatively characterized CAR-T cell-induced target cell depletion, CAR-T cell expansion and cytokine release. The model accounted for key drug-specific (CAR-affinity, CAR-densities) and system-specific (antigen densities, E:T ratios) variables and was able to characterize comprehensive in vitro datasets from multiple affinity variants of anti-EGFR and anti-HER2 CAR-T cells. Next, a physiologically based PK (PBPK) model was developed to simultaneously characterize the biodistribution of untransduced T-cells, anti-EGFR CAR-T and anti-CD19 CAR-T cells in xenograft -mouse models. The proposed model accounted for the engagement of CAR-T cells with tumor cells at the site of action. Finally, an integrated PBPK-PD relationship was established to simultaneously characterize expansion of CAR-T cells and tumor growth inhibition (TGI) in xenograft mouse model, using datasets from anti-BCMA, anti-HER2, anti-CD19 and anti-EGFR CAR-T cells. Model simulations provided potential mechanistic insights toward the commonly observed multiphasic PK profile (i.e., rapid distribution, expansion, contraction and persistence) of CAR-T cells in the clinic. Model simulations suggested that CAR-T cells may have a steep dose-exposure relationship, and the apparent Cmax upon CAR-T cell expansion in blood may be more sensitive to patient tumor-burden than CAR-T dose levels. Global sensitivity analysis described the effect of other drug-specific parameters toward CAR-T cell expansion and TGI. The proposed modeling framework will be further examined with the clinical PK and PD data, and the learnings can be used to inform design and development of future CAR-T therapies.

Project description:Pasteurella multocida can invade and translocate through endothelial cells and result in vascular-system infection, which can cause severe economic losses in the poultry industry. Antibacterial therapy (especially florfenicol) plays an important part in controlling P. multocida infection. To preserve the effect of florfenicol, in vivo pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling of florfenicol against three P. multocida strains in duck was established. Then, the efficacy of the currently marketed dose, a rational dosage regimen for populations, and the PK/PD cutoff were predicted through Monte Carlo simulations (MCSs). The area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h/minimum inhibitory concentration (AUC0-24 h /MIC) was the optimal PK/PD parameter. The PK/PD surrogate values of florfenicol against P. multocida were similar using different organs as the PD target, but varied in different strains. For the florfenicol-sensitive strain 0825Y1, when the AUC0-24 h /MIC reached 117.54 and 108.19, florfenicol showed a bactericidal effect in the liver and lung, respectively. For the florfenicol-sensitive strain 0901J1, the corresponding value was 78.39 and 54.30, respectively. For the florfenicol-resistant strain JY160110, florfenicol could attain a maximum effect of 1 - log10 reduction in bacteria in the liver and lung when the AUC0-24 h /MIC reached 2.03 and 2.06, respectively. The PK/PD-based prediction for the population dose indicated a poor effect for the low end of the currently marketed dose (40 mg/kg body weight per day), but a robust effect for the high end of the currently marketed dose (60 mg/kg body weight per day) with a target attainment rate of 92.79% and 81.44% against P. multocida in mainland China and worldwide, respectively. The recommended dose optimized by MCSs was 52 mg/kg body weight in mainland China. The PK/PD cutoff of florfenicol against P. multocida at the low end and high end of the current daily dose (40 and 60 mg/kg body weight) and predicted daily dose in mainland China (52 mg/kg body weight) was 0.25, 4, and 0.5 μg/ml, respectively. These results suggested that more than one strain should be involved for PK/PD modeling and contributed to rational use of florfenicol in populations. We also provided fundamental data for determination of florfenicol breakpoints in poultry.
