Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Cerliponase Alfa, Enzyme Replacement Therapy for CLN2 Disease by Intracerebroventricular Administration.

ABSTRACT: Cerliponase alfa is recombinant human tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) delivered by i.c.v. infusion for CLN2, a pediatric neurodegenerative disease caused by deficiency in lysosomal enzyme TPP1. We report the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of cerliponase alfa, the first i.c.v. enzyme replacement therapy, characterized in a phase I/II study. Escalating doses (30-300 mg Q2W) followed by 300 mg Q2W for ≥ 48 weeks were administered in 24 patients aged ≥ 3 years. Concentrations peaked in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at the end of ~ 4-hour i.c.v. infusion and 8 hours thereafter in plasma. Plasma exposure was 300-1,000-fold lower than in CSF, with no correlation in the magnitude of peak concentration (C_max ) or area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) among body sites. There was no apparent accumulation in CSF or plasma exposure with Q2W dosing. Interpatient and intrapatient variability of AUC, respectively, were 31-49% and 24% in CSF vs. 59-103% and 80% in plasma. PK variability was not explained by baseline demographics, as sex, age, weight, and CLN2 disease severity score did not appear to impact CSF or plasma PK. No apparent correlation was noted between CSF or plasma PK and incidence of adverse events (pyrexia, hypersensitivity, seizure, and epilepsy) or presence of antidrug antibodies in CSF and serum. There was no relationship between magnitude of CSF exposure and efficacy (change in CLN2 score from baseline), indicating maximum benefit was obtained across the range of exposures with 300 mg Q2W. Data from this small trial of ultra-rare disease were leveraged to adequately profile cerliponase alfa and support 300 mg i.c.v. Q2W for CLN2 treatment.

Project description:BackgroundFollowing a drug manufacturing process change, safety/efficacy of agalsidase alfa were evaluated in enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-naïve children with Fabry disease.MethodsIn an open-label, multicenter, Phase II study (HGT-REP-084; Shire), 14 children aged ≥7 years received 0.2 mg/kg agalsidase alfa every other week for 55 weeks. Primary endpoints: safety, changes in autonomic function (2-hour Holter monitoring). Secondary endpoints: estimated glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), midwall fractional shortening, pharmacodynamic parameters, and patient-reported quality-of-life.ResultsAmong five boys (median 10.2 [range 6.7, 14.4] years) and nine girls (14.8 [10.1, 15.9] years), eight patients experienced infusion-related adverse events (vomiting, n=4; nausea, n=3; dyspnea, n=3; chest discomfort, n=2; chills, n=2; dizziness, n=2; headache, n=2). One of these had several hypersensitivity episodes. However, no patient discontinued for safety reasons and no serious adverse events occurred. One boy developed immunoglobulin G (IgG) and neutralizing antidrug antibodies. Overall, no deterioration in cardiac function was observed in seven patients with low/abnormal SDNN (standard deviation of all filtered RR intervals; <100 ms) and no left ventricular hypertrophy: mean (SD) baseline SDNN, 81.6 (20.9) ms; mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) change from baseline to week 55, 17.4 (2.9, 31.9) ms. Changes in SDNN correlated with changes in LVMI (r=-0.975). No change occurred in secondary efficacy endpoints: mean (95% CI) change from baseline at week 55 in LVMI, 0.16 (-3.3, 3.7) g/m(2.7); midwall fractional shortening, -0.62% (-2.7%, 1.5%); estimated glomerular filtration rate, 0.15 (-11.4, 11.7) mL/min/1.73 m(2); urine protein, -1.8 (-6.0, 2.4) mg/dL; urine microalbumin, 0.6 (-0.5, 1.7) mg/dL; plasma globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), -5.71 (-10.8, -0.6) nmol/mL; urinary Gb3, -1,403.3 (-3,714.0, 907.4) nmol/g creatinine, or clinical quality-of-life outcomes.ConclusionFifty-five weeks' agalsidase alfa ERT at 0.2 mg/kg every other week was well tolerated. Disease progression may be slowed when ERT is started prior to major organ dysfunction.Trial registrationhttps://ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01363492.

Project description:BackgroundThe need for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients with serious infections is associated with clinical failure, emergence of resistance, and excess mortality. These poor outcomes are attributable in large part to subtherapeutic antimicrobial exposure and failure to achieve target pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) thresholds during CRRT. Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore cephalosporin with broad in vitro activity against resistant pathogens and is often used to treat critically ill patients, including those receiving CRRT, despite the lack of data to guide dosing in this population.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the PK and PD of cefiderocol during in vitro and in vivo CRRT and provide optimal dosing recommendations.MethodsThe PK and dialytic clearance of cefiderocol was evaluated via an established in vitro CRRT model across various modes, filter types, and effluent flow rates. These data were combined with in vivo PK data from nine patients receiving cefiderocol while receiving CRRT from phase III clinical trials. Optimal dosing regimens and their respective probability of target attainment (PTA) were assessed via an established population PK model with Bayesian estimation and 1000-subject Monte Carlo simulations at each effluent flow rate.ResultsThe overall mean sieving/saturation coefficient during in vitro CRRT was 0.90 across all modes, filter types, effluent flow rates, and points of replacement fluid dilution tested. Adsorption was negligible at 10.9%. Three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression analyses demonstrated that effluent flow rate is the primary driver of clearance during CRRT and can be used to calculate optimal cefiderocol doses required to match the systemic exposure observed in patients with normal renal function. Bayesian estimation of these effluent flow rate-based optimal doses in nine patients receiving CRRT from the phase III clinical trials of cefiderocol revealed comparable mean (± standard deviation) area under the concentration-time curve values as patients with normal renal function (1709 ± 539 mg·h/L vs. 1494 ± 58.4 mg·h/L; p = 0.26). Monte Carlo simulations confirmed these doses achieved >90% PTA against minimum inhibitory concentrations ≤4 mg/L at effluent flow rates from 0.5 to 5 L/h.ConclusionThe optimal dosing regimens developed from this work have been incorporated into the prescribing information for cefiderocol, making it the first and only antimicrobial with labeled dosing for CRRT. Future clinical studies are warranted to confirm the efficacy and safety of these regimens.
