Background: HuHMFG1 (AS1402) is a humanised monoclonal antibody that has undergone a phase I trial in metastatic breast cancer. The aim of this study was to characterise the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of HuHMFG1 using a population PK model.
Method: Data were derived from a phase I study of 26 patients receiving HuHMFG1 at doses ranging from 1 to 16 mg kg(-1). Data were analysed using NONMEM software and covariates were included. A limited sampling strategy (LSS) was developed using training and a validation data set.
Results: A linear two-compartment model was shown to be adequate to describe data. Covariate analysis indicated that weight was not related to clearance. An LSS was successfully developed on the basis of the model, in which one sample is collected immediately before the start of an infusion and the second is taken at the end of infusion.
Conclusion: A two-compartment population PK model successfully describes HuHMFG1 behaviour. The model suggests using a fixed dose of HuHMFG1, which would simplify dosing. The model could be used to optimise dose level and dosing schedule if more data on the correlation between exposure and efficacy become available from future studies. The derived LSS could optimise further PK assessment of this antibody.

Targeted therapy with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) has shown promising results in the treatment of various solid tumours. Sacituzumab-govitecan (SG), a humanised anti-Trop2 monoclonal antibody in combination with the cytotoxic topoisomerase I inhibitor SN38, has been approved for the treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The treatment approach with SG requires the expression of Trop2 in the tumour cells.

Background: Dermatomyositis is a chronic autoimmune disease with distinctive cutaneous eruptions and muscle weakness, and the pathophysiology is characterised by type I interferon (IFN) dysregulation. This study aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and target engagement of dazukibart, a potent, selective, humanised IgG1 neutralising monoclonal antibody directed against IFNβ, in adults with moderate-to-severe dermatomyositis.
Methods: This multicentre, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial was conducted at 25 university-based hospitals and outpatient sites in Germany, Hungary, Poland, Spain, and the USA.
Evaluation of the effect of rozanolixizumab on pregnancy outcomes and pre- and postnatal development in cynomolgus monkeys.

Labcorp, Münster, Germany.
Rozanolixizumab, a humanised immunoglobulin (Ig) G4 monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits binding of IgG to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), was evaluated in an embryo-foetal enhanced pre- and postnatal development (ePPND) study. Pregnant female cynomolgus monkeys (19 per group) received subcutaneous rozanolixizumab 50 mg/kg or 150 mg/kg or vehicle every 3 days from gestation day 20 until delivery. The proportion of pregnancy losses was 15.

Purpose: Neuroblastoma (NB) is a malignant embryonic tumour with poor prognosis and high mortality rate. The antigen gisialoganglioside (GD2), which is highly expressed on the surface of NB cells, is an effective target for therapy. This study aims to evaluate the GD2 expression with [Cu]Cu-NOTA-hu3F8 positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and explore the radioimmunotherapy (RIT) effect of [Lu]Lu-DOTA-hu3F8 in NB tumour models.

Background: Exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are important events and are associated with critical illness. Eosinophilic inflammation is a treatable trait commonly found during acute exacerbations of asthma and COPD. We hypothesised that for patients with eosinophilic exacerbations, a single injection of benralizumab, a humanised monoclonal antibody against interleukin-5 receptor-α, alone or in combination with prednisolone, will improve clinical outcomes compared with prednisolone, the standard of care.
