Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of bococizumab, a monoclonal antibody against proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, in healthy subjects when administered in co-mixture with recombinant human hyaluronidase: A phase 1 randomized trial.

Aim: Prior to the discontinuation of bococizumab's clinical development, it was considered advantageous to develop an infrequent dosing regimen (eg, monthly). Therefore, we conducted a phase 1 study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of bococizumab when administered in co-mixture with recombinant human hyaluronidase (rHuPH20).

Method: Healthy subjects (N = 60) were randomized equally among 4 groups that received a single subcutaneous dose of either bococizumab 150, 300, or 450 mg co-mixed with rHuPH20 or bococizumab 300 mg alone.

Comparative Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Bococizumab Following a Single Subcutaneous Injection Using Drug Substance Manufactured at Two Sites or Administration via Two Different Devices.

The pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of bococizumab, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor, were compared following a single 150-mg subcutaneous dose administered to healthy subjects (n = 156-158/arm) via: (1) a prefilled syringe (PFS) using drug substance (DS) manufactured by Pfizer, (2) a PFS using DS manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma, (3) a prefilled pen using DS manufactured by Pfizer (NCT02458209). Blood samples were collected for 12 weeks postdose. Safety was monitored throughout.
