Pharmacokinetic Comparability and Safety Between Original and Citrate-Free Mirikizumab Formulations for Subcutaneous Injections: Results from Three Clinical Trials
Introduction
Mirikizumab, a p19-directed antibody against interleukin-23 (IL-23), is administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection. Injection site pain (ISP) associated with citrate buffers may negatively affect patient adherence to SC-administered treatments. We assessed the bioequivalence and safety of the citrate-free (CF) and original formulations of mirikizumab.
Methods
The formulations were assessed in three phase 1, two-arm, randomized, single-dose, parallel design studies in healthy participants: study A (NCT04548219), study B (NCT05515601), and study C (NCT05644353). Participants were randomized 1:1 to either formulation, then further randomized to injection site locations of abdomen, arm, or thigh. The relative bioavailability (RBA) study A had a primary objective of assessing the RBA of a single 200 mg dose. Bioequivalence (BE) studies B and C had the primary objective of assessing the BE of a 200 and 300 mg dose, respectively. In all studies, the primary endpoints were Cmax, AUC(0–∞), and AUC(0–tlast). The secondary objective was to assess safety and tolerability by treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events. In study A, ISP was quantified prospectively using the 100-mm validated visual analogue scale (VAS) assessment form.
Results
The primary objective was met in all studies. The RBA study found no significant difference in exposure between the formulations. BE was demonstrated between CF and original mirikizumab in both BE studies, with the 90% confidence intervals of the ratios of geometric least squares means within the pre-specified equivalence limits of 0.80 and 1.25. The frequency of ISP and injection site reactions (ISRs) was lower for CF than original mirikizumab in all studies. Furthermore, a significant difference in mean VAS score was observed in study A.
Conclusion
Mirikizumab CF and original formulations were bioequivalent. The CF formulation was associated with less pain and fewer ISRs, with no other notable differences in safety profiles.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
