To address this unmet medical need, serplulimab was developed as an innovative monoclonal antibody targeting PD-1. This study evaluated the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of serplulimab and their relationship with efficacy and safety in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), using population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) and exposure–response (E–R) analysis to inform dose selection. Data from 1144 patients across eight Phase I–III clinical trials supported a two-compartment PopPK model with time-dependent clearance. Cox proportional hazards models were employed to analyze the correlation between exposure (<i>C</i><sub>avg1</sub> and <i>C</i><sub>min1</sub>) and overall survival (OS)/progression-free survival (PFS), and adverse events (AEs) with exposure (<i>C</i><sub>avg1</sub> and <i>C</i><sub>max1</sub>). Body weight, albumin (ALB), and gender significantly influenced the clearance and volume distribution of serplulimab; however, the observed differences in exposure ratio did not reach clinically relevant thresholds (0.8–1.25), thereby obviating the need for dose adjustments. Safety analysis revealed no monotonic increase in AE probability with increasing exposure (<i>p</i> > 0.05). Efficacy analysis indicated no significant correlation between exposure and OS (<i>p</i> > 0.05), whereas lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and tumor burden emerged as significant predictors of OS (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Results confirm favorable PK and safety of serplulimab at the recommended dose, requiring no adjustment for above covariates. These findings suggest that the current dose is on the plateau of the E–R curve, and dose escalation is unlikely to improve clinical outcomes.</p><p><b>Trial Registration:</b> ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03952403, NCT04818359, NCT05246164, NCT04747236, NCT03973112, NCT04297995, NCT04778904, NCT04063163</p>","PeriodicalId":50610,"journal":{"name":"Cts-Clinical and Translational Science","volume":"18 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ascpt.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cts.70322","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145034679","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}

Placebo data were initially used to estimate prob-NSRT, then the ANN model was applied to the data of each individual in each treatment arm (placebo + active) for estimating the individual prob-NSRT, and finally all data in the trial enriched by the prob-NSRT values were used to assess the treatment effect. One of the major limitations of this methodology was that the ANN model was developed and applied to analyze data in the same dataset. To overcome this limitation, a new artificial intelligence driven nonlinear mixed effect modeling approach (AI-NLME) is proposed. This approach involves the development of the ANN model using a dataset that is independent from the dataset used to estimate the treatment effect. A case study is presented using data from a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in major depressive disorders. The AI-NLME approach provided an effective tool for controlling the confounding effect of treatment non-specific response, for increasing signal detection, for decreasing heterogeneity in the response, for increasing the effect size, for better assessing the responder rate, and for providing a reliable estimate of the “true” treatment effect.

On the other hand, remote data collection poses potential risks to data integrity. Although these two are critical aspects of decentralized elements, methodologies for assessing them remain limited. We proposed a method to measure patient centricity by subtracting the participant's self-rated burden for trial-related procedures with decentralized elements from their estimated burden under the traditional approach. Additionally, we introduced an analytical framework to assess data integrity by considering the accurate performance rate, the sources of errors, and their cascading consequences. The feasibility and applicability of these methodologies were explored in a pilot clinical trial on mastic gum. Patient centricity was highest in wearable device-based drug adherence monitoring (4.30) and lowest in remote consent submission (1.80). For most trial-related procedures, patient centricity tended to be higher when participant engagement increased. However, blood sample collection recorded higher patient centricity when participants visited a nearby local hospital for nurse assistance (2.55) compared to the estimated burden of using a self-kit at home (2.35). Data integrity was lowest in wearable device-based drug adherence monitoring (88.6%), and the errors were attributable to the device being left behind, insufficient proficiency, broken WiFi connection, and depleted battery. Data integrity was second lowest in self-kit-based stool specimen collection (90.0%), and the errors led to successive delays in specimen delivery and microbiome analysis.
