This analysis aimed to predict ADA dynamics, including the potential influence of individual covariates, following subcutaneous satralizumab administration. Satralizumab is a humanized IgG2 monoclonal recycling IL-6 receptor antagonist antibody approved for treating neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). Longitudinal pharmacokinetic (PK) and ADA data from 154 NMOSD patients in two pivotal Phase 3 studies (NCT02028884, NCT02073279) and PK data from one Phase 1 study (SA-001JP) in 72 healthy volunteers were available for this analysis. An existing population PK model was adapted to derive steady-state concentration without ADA for each patient. A mixed hidden Markov model (mHMM) was developed whereby three different states were identified: one absorbing Markov state for non-ADA developer, and two dynamic and inter-connected Markov states—transient ADA negative and positive. Satralizumab exposure and body mass index impacted transition probabilities and, therefore, the likelihood of developing ADAs. In conclusion, the mHMM model was able to describe the time course of ADA development and identify patterns of ADA development in NMOSD patients following treatment with satralizumab, which may allow for the formulation of strategies to reduce the emergence or limit the impact of ADA in the clinical setting.</p>","PeriodicalId":10774,"journal":{"name":"CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology","volume":"13 12","pages":"2171-2184"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/psp4.13230","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142388733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results of phase IIb and phase III trials led to the approval of intravenous anifrolumab 300 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) alongside standard therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe SLE. Here, we built a population physiology-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of anifrolumab by utilizing the physiochemical properties of anifrolumab, binding kinetics to the Fc gamma neonatal receptor, and target-mediated drug disposition properties. A novel relative transcriptomics approach was employed to determine IFNAR1 expression in tissues (blood, skin, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and muscle) using mRNA abundances from bioinformatic databases. The IFNAR1 expression and PBPK model were validated by testing their ability to predict clinical pharmacokinetics over a large dose range from different clinical scenarios after subcutaneous and intravenous anifrolumab dosing. The validated PBPK model predicted high unbound local concentrations of anifrolumab in blood, skin, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and muscle, which exceeded its IFNAR1 dissociation equilibrium constant values. The model also predicted high IFNAR1 occupancy with subcutaneous and intravenous anifrolumab dosing.

Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling is a powerful tool to integrate these processes mechanistically. However, a correct bottom-up prediction of GI first-pass metabolism is challenging and depends on various model parameters like the level of enzyme expression and the basolateral intestinal mucosa permeability (<i>P</i><sub>mucosa</sub>). This work aimed to investigate if cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 expression could help predict the first-pass effect using PBPK modeling or whether additional factors like <i>P</i><sub>mucosa</sub> do play additional roles using PBPK modeling. To this end, a systematic review of the absolute CYP3A expression in the human gastrointestinal tract and liver was conducted. The resulting CYP3A4 expression profile and two previously published profiles were applied to PBPK models of seven CYP3A4 substrates (alfentanil, alprazolam, felodipine, midazolam, sildenafil, triazolam, and verapamil) built-in PK-Sim®. For each compound, it was assessed whether first-pass metabolism could be adequately predicted based on the integrated CYP3A4 expression profile alone or whether an optimization of <i>P</i><sub>mucosa</sub> was required. Evaluation criteria were the precision of the predicted interstudy bioavailabilities and area under the concentration–time curves. It was found that none of the expression profiles provided upfront an adequate description of the extent of GI metabolism and that optimization of <i>P</i><sub>mucosa</sub> as a compound-specific parameter improved the prediction of most models.

A list of his scientific publications can be found at https://scholargps.com/scholars/36194565598852/lambertus-a-peletier for further reading. Throughout his career as mathematician, several prestigious honors were bestowed upon him. He was elected as a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) in 1999.

As the son of an engineer, Bert had an innate interest in technology, fuelled by the ambition to engage in a study at the Technical University of Delft. On the recommendation of his math teacher, he chose to study theoretical physics rather than pure mathematics. The choice of physics was based on his belief that mathematics is best understood in the context of real-life examples. Throughout his academic career, Bert continued to seek out opportunities for discussion and debate with colleagues, adhering to the motto of one of his unknown American colleagues: Science is the pursuit of knowledge in the company of friends.</p><p>After his graduation, from the newly established Eindhoven University of Technology, Bert spent a year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston. It was the place where he became inspired by academic life and debate. It made him decide to pursue a career in academia rather than in industry. In 1967, he obtained his PhD at the Eindhoven University of Technology. The title of his thesis was “On a class of wave equations.” After the completion of his PhD thesis and internships at the University of Sussex (UK) and the University of Minnesota (USA), he was appointed full professor of analysis and applied mathematics at Leiden University in 1977 from where he retired in 2002.</p><p>Just before his retirement from Leiden University, Bert accidentally met a pharmacist who had come across a publication by a group of Swedish researchers on mathematical modeling of drug effects.
