However, ADC-associated toxicities cause high failure rates in the clinic and hinder their full potential. Due to the complex structure and pharmacokinetics of ADCs, it is challenging to identify the drivers of their toxicities. Here, quantitative analysis was performed to correlate the incidence of clinical adverse events (AEs) with nine different commonly measured exposure parameters collected from study-level summary data. We considered ADC analytes for different classes of ADCs, to identify ADC analytes that are strongly associated with the AEs for ADCs. Published clinical exposure and safety data for any grade and grade ≥3 AEs from 40 publications across six ADCs and three payloads were collected and analyzed. Exposure-AE relationships were quantified using logit models, and the strength of the correlations and rank order were determined. The analysis suggests that deruxtecan ADC-related toxicities correlated most strongly with the exposure of the free payload; monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) ADC-related toxicities correlated with the free MMAE area under the curve; and pyrrolobenzodiazepine ADC-related toxicities correlated with no specific analyte but the dose. These findings agree with the published literature and support the notion that AE profiles are often shared by ADCs that deliver the same cytotoxic payload. The exposure-AE relationships presented here, together with identification of the most informative ADC analytes, may facilitate more focused mechanistic studies on the drivers of clinical AEs and could support dosing decisions during clinical development of ADCs.</p>","PeriodicalId":48908,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142630722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective management of PNIs involves tailoring medications to the injury type as well as understanding the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics to support nerve regeneration and reduce pain. Opioids act on opioid receptors to significantly reduce pain for many patients, but there are significant addiction risks and side effects. In addition, opioids may exacerbate pain sensitivity and affect nerve regeneration. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or acetaminophen act on cyclooxygenase enzymes and are commonly used for nerve pain, with 34.7% of people using them for neuropathic pain. While effective for mild pain, they are often combined with opioids, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogs, lidocaine, or corticosteroids for more severe pain. Corticosteroids, mimicking adrenal hormones like cortisol, treat PNI-related inflammation and pain. Their pharmacokinetics are complex, often requiring local injections in order to minimize systemic risks while effectively treating PNIs. Lidocaine, a common local anesthetic, blocks ion channels in the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nerves, providing strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. If used improperly, lidocaine can cause neuronal toxicity instead of anesthetic effect. GABA acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and its drug analogs like pregabalin and gabapentin can alleviate neuropathic pain by binding to voltage-gated Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels, inhibiting neurotransmitter release. These pain medications are commonly prescribed for PNIs despite a limited guidance on their effects on nerve regeneration.
