Pharmacokinetics and coagulation biomarkers in children and adults with hemophilia A receiving emicizumab prophylaxis every 1, 2, or 4 weeks.

Background: Emicizumab is a bispecific antibody that bridges activated factor (F)IX and FX, mimicking the function of missing activated FVIII and thus improving hemostasis in people with hemophilia A. The efficacy and safety of emicizumab were demonstrated in 4 phase III clinical trials (HAVEN 1-4).

Objectives: Here, we describe pharmacokinetics (PKs), pharmacodynamics (PDs), and exploratory safety biomarkers in HAVEN 1 to 4.

Association of Higher Ocrelizumab Exposure With Reduced Disability Progression in Multiple Sclerosis.

Background And Objectives: Ocrelizumab improved clinical and MRI measures of disease activity and progression in three phase 3 multiple sclerosis (MS) studies. Post hoc analyses demonstrated a correlation between the ocrelizumab serum concentration and the degree of blood B-cell depletion, and body weight was identified as the most influential covariate on ocrelizumab pharmacokinetics. The magnitude of ocrelizumab treatment benefit on disability progression was greater in lighter vs heavier patients.

Emicizumab dose up-titration in case of suboptimal bleeding control in people with haemophilia A.

Introduction: Emicizumab promotes effective haemostasis in people with haemophilia A (PwHA). It is indicated for routine prophylaxis of bleeding episodes in PwHA with or without factor (F)VIII inhibitors.

Aim: To investigate the effect of emicizumab dose up-titration in PwHA with suboptimal bleeding control.

A Model-Based Framework to Inform the Dose Selection and Study Design of Emicizumab for Pediatric Patients With Hemophilia A.

Emicizumab is a bispecific antibody mimicking the cofactor function of activated coagulation factor VIII to prevent bleeds in patients with hemophilia A. The dose selection for the first-in-child phase III study of emicizumab was addressed by pediatric pharmacokinetic prediction using an adult/adolescent population pharmacokinetic model developed in phase I-I/II studies. The model was modified to incorporate functions describing the age-dependent increase in body weight (BW) with or without clearance maturation to account for the differences in emicizumab pharmacokinetics between adults/adolescents and children.

Low immunogenicity of emicizumab in persons with haemophilia A.

Introduction: Emicizumab is a humanised, bispecific monoclonal antibody mimicking the cofactor function of activated factor (F)VIII. It is indicated for routine prophylaxis of bleeding episodes in persons with haemophilia A (PwHA) with/without FVIII inhibitors.

Aim: To evaluate the development of anti-emicizumab antibodies and their impact on pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), efficacy and safety in PwHA.

Phase I study of daily and weekly regimens of the orally administered MDM2 antagonist idasanutlin in patients with advanced tumors.

Aim The oral MDM2 antagonist idasanutlin inhibits the p53-MDM2 interaction, enabling p53 activation, tumor growth inhibition, and increased survival in xenograft models. Methods We conducted a Phase I study of idasanutlin (microprecipitate bulk powder formulation) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, food effect, and clinical activity in patients with advanced malignancies. Schedules investigated were once weekly for 3 weeks (QW × 3), once daily for 3 days (QD × 3), or QD × 5 every 28 days.

Exposure-Bleeding Count Modeling of Emicizumab for the Prophylaxis of Bleeding in Persons with Hemophilia A with/Without Inhibitors Against Factor VIII.

Background And Objective: Emicizumab is a monoclonal antibody that bridges activated coagulation factor IX and factor X to restore effective hemostasis in persons with hemophilia A. It is indicated for routine prophylaxis of bleeding episodes in persons with hemophilia A. The aim of the present study is to describe the exposure-response relationship between emicizumab concentrations and bleeding frequency, and to confirm adequate bleeding control of the investigated dosing regimens 1.

Ocrelizumab in relapsing and primary progressive multiple sclerosis: Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analyses of OPERA I, OPERA II and ORATORIO.

Aims: Ocrelizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively targets CD20-positive B cells and is indicated for treatment of patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) or primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ocrelizumab in patients with RMS or PPMS were assessed.

Methods: A population pharmacokinetic model was developed based on data from the Phase II study and the Phase III studies OPERA I and OPERA II in patients with RMS.

Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Emicizumab in Persons with Hemophilia A with Factor VIII Inhibitors: HAVEN 1 Study.

Emicizumab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, bridges activated factor IX (FIXa) and FX, replacing the function of missing FVIIIa to restore effective hemostasis in persons with hemophilia A (PwHA). Here we assess pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers in PwHA with FVIII inhibitors in the Phase III HAVEN 1 study (NCT02622321). Blood samples from 112 PwHA receiving 1.

Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis and Exploratory Exposure-Bleeding Rate Relationship of Emicizumab in Adult and Pediatric Persons with Hemophilia A.

Background: Emicizumab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody developed for routine prophylaxis of bleeding in people with hemophilia A (PwHA). This work characterizes the pharmacokinetics of emicizumab in adult and pediatric PwHA, identifies factors contributing to its between-person variabilities, compares the pharmacokinetics following different dosing regimens, and makes a descriptive assessment of the exposure-bleeding events relationship.

Methods: A population pharmacokinetic model was developed, using a database of 389 PwHA from five clinical studies.

Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Safety of a Single Dose of Emicizumab in Healthy Chinese Subjects.

This phase 1, open-label, single-center study evaluated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability of single-dose emicizumab in healthy Chinese males. Overall, 16 subjects received a single subcutaneous dose of 1-mg/kg emicizumab. Blood samples were obtained before dosing on day 1 and at regular intervals over 16 weeks after dosing for PK evaluation.
