A randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding safety and tolerability study of the anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody otelixizumab in new-onset type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

Numerous clinical studies have investigated the anti-CD3? monoclonal antibody otelixizumab in individuals with type 1 diabetes, but limited progress has been made in identifying the optimal clinical dose with acceptable tolerability and safety. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dose-response, safety and tolerability, beta cell function preservation and the immunological effects of otelixizumab in new-onset type 1 diabetes.

Methods

In this randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled, 24 month study, conducted in five centres in Belgium via the Belgian Diabetes Registry, participants (16-27 years old, <32 days from diagnosis of type 1 diabetes) were scheduled to receive placebo or otelixizumab in one of four dose cohorts (cumulative i.v. dose 9, 18, 27 or 36 mg over 6 days; planned n?=?40). Randomisation to treatment was by a central computer system; only participants and bedside study personnel were blinded to study treatment. The co-primary endpoints were the incidence of adverse events, the rate of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, and laboratory measures and vital signs. A mixed-meal tolerance test was used to assess beta cell function; exploratory biomarkers were used to measure T cell responses.

Results

Thirty participants were randomised/28 were analysed (placebo, n?=?6/5; otelixizumab 9 mg, n?=?9/8; otelixizumab 18 mg, n?=?8/8; otelixizumab 27 mg, n?=?7/7; otelixizumab 36 mg, n?=?0). Dosing was stopped at otelixizumab 27 mg as the predefined EBV reactivation stopping criteria were met. Adverse event frequency and severity were dose dependent; all participants on otelixizumab experienced at least one adverse event related to cytokine release syndrome during the dosing period. EBV reactivation (otelixizumab 9 mg, n?=?2/9; 18 mg, n?=?4/8: 27 mg, n?=?5/7) and clinical manifestations (otelixizumab 9 mg, n?=?0/9; 18 mg, n?=?1/8; 27 mg, n?=?3/7) were rapid, dose dependent and transient, and were associated with increased productive T cell clonality that diminished over time. Change from baseline mixed-meal tolerance test C-peptide weighted mean AUC_0-120 min following otelixizumab 9 mg was above baseline for up to 18 months (difference from placebo 0.39 [95% CI 0.06, 0.72]; p?=?0.023); no beta cell function preservation was observed at otelixizumab 18 and 27 mg.

Conclusions/interpretation

A metabolic response was observed with otelixizumab 9 mg, while doses higher than 18 mg increased the risk of unwanted clinical EBV reactivation. Although otelixizumab can temporarily compromise immunocompetence, allowing EBV to reactivate, the effect is dose dependent and transient, as evidenced by a rapid emergence of EBV-specific T cells preceding long-term control over EBV reactivation.

Project description:Three small trials suggest that intravenous immunoglobulin can affect biomarkers and symptoms of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. We tested the safety, effective dose, and infusion interval of intravenous immunoglobulin in such patients.We did a multicentre, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial at seven sites in the USA and five in Germany. Participants with probable Alzheimer's disease aged 50-85 years were randomly assigned (by a computer-generated randomisation sequence, with block sizes of eight) to infusions every 4 weeks (0·2, 0·5, or 0·8 g intravenous immunoglobulin per kg bodyweight, or placebo) or infusions every 2 weeks (0·1, 0·25, or 0·4 g/kg, or placebo). Patients, caregivers, investigators assessing outcomes, and staff at imaging facilities and the clinical research organisation were masked to treatment allocation, but dispensing pharmacists, the statistician, and the person responsible for final PET analyses were not. Treatment was masked with opaque pouches and infusion lines. The primary endpoint was median area under the curve (AUC) of plasma amyloid ? (A?)(1-40) between the last infusion and the final visit (2 weeks or 4 weeks depending on infusion interval) in the intention-to-treat population. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00812565) and controlled-trials.com (ISRCTN64846759).89 patients were assessed for eligibility, of whom 58 were enrolled and 55 included in the primary analysis. Median AUC of plasma A?(1-40) was not significantly different for intravenous immunoglobulin compared with placebo for five of the six intervention groups (-18·0 [range -1347·0 to 1068·5] for 0·2 g/kg, -364·3 [-5834·5 to 1953·5] for 0·5 g/kg, and -351·8 [-1084·0 to 936·5] for 0·8 g/kg every 4 weeks vs -116·3 [-1379·0 to 5266·0] for placebo; and -13·8 [-1729·0 to 307·0] for 0·1 g/kg, and -32·5 [-1102·5 to 451·5] for 0·25 g/kg every 2 weeks vs 159·5 [51·5 to 303·0] for placebo; p>0·05 for all). The difference in median AUC of plasma A?(1-40) between the 0·4 g/kg every 2 weeks group (47·0 [range -341·0 to 72·5]) and the placebo group was significant (p=0·0216). 25 of 42 (60%) patients in the intervention group versus nine of 14 (64%) receiving placebo had an adverse event. Four of 42 (10%) patients in the intravenous immunoglobulin group versus four of 14 (29%) receiving placebo had a serious adverse event, including one stroke in the intervention group.Intravenous immunoglobulin may have an acceptable safety profile. Our results did not accord with those from previous studies. Longer trials with greater power are needed to assess the cognitive and functional effects of intravenous immunoglobulin in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:Objective: The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) still protracts worldwide. HFB30132A is an anti- SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody purposely engineered for an extended half-life with neutralizing activity against majority of the virus variants identified so far. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of HFB30132A in healthy Chinese subjects. Methods: A phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose clinical trial was designed. Twenty subjects were enrolled to Cohort 1 (1,000 mg dose level, 10 subjects) or Cohort 2 (2,000 mg dose level, 10 subjects). Subjects in each cohort were assigned randomly to receive a single intravenous (IV) dose of HFB30132A or placebo at a ratio of 8:2. Safety was assessed in terms of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests, and ECG findings. PK parameters were measured and calculated appropriately. Anti-drug antibody (ADA) test was performed to detect anti-HFB30132A antibodies. Results: All subjects completed the study. Overall, 13 (65%) of the 20 subjects experienced TEAEs. The most common TEAEs were laboratory abnormalities (12 subjects [60%]), gastrointestinal disorders (6 subjects [30%]), and dizziness (4 subjects [20%]). All TEAEs were Grade 1 or Grade 2 in severity based on the criteria of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Serum exposure (Cmax, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞) of HFB30132A increased with ascending dose. After single dose of 1,000 mg and 2000 mg HFB30132A, the mean Cmax was 570.18 μg/mL and 898.65 μg/mL, the mean AUC0-t value was 644,749.42 h*μg/mL and 1,046,209.06 h*μg/mL, and the mean AUC0-∞ value was 806,127.47 h*μg/mL and 1,299,190.74 h*μg/mL, respectively. HFB30132A showed low clearance ranging from 1.38 to 1.59 mL/h, and a long terminal elimination half-life (t½) of 89-107 days. ADA test did not detect any anti-HFB30132A antibodies Conclusion: HFB30132A was safe and generally well-tolerated after single IV dose of 1,000 mg or 2000 mg in healthy Chinese adults. HFB30132A did not induce immunogenic response in this study. Our data support further clinical development of HFB30132A.
