Model‐Based Characterization of the Pharmacokinetics of Pembrolizumab: A Humanized Anti–PD‐1 Monoclonal Antibody in Advanced Solid Tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pembrolizumab, a potent antibody against programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor, has shown robust antitumor activity and manageable safety in patients with advanced solid tumors. Its pharmacokinetic (PK) properties were analyzed with population PK modeling using pooled data from the KEYNOTE-001, -002, and -006 studies of patients with advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and other solid tumor types. Pembrolizumab clearance was low and the volume of distribution small, as is typical for therapeutic antibodies. Identified effects of sex, baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, measures of renal and hepatic function, tumor type and burden, and prior ipilimumab treatment on pembrolizumab exposure were modest and lacked clinical significance. Furthermore, simulations demonstrated the model has robust power to detect clinically relevant covariate effects on clearance. These results support the use of the approved pembrolizumab dose of 2 mg/kg every 3 weeks without dose adjustment in a variety of patient subpopulations.

Background Tumors, including hematologic malignancies, can use the PD-1 pathway to evade immune surveillance. Pembrolizumab, a highly selective, humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks interaction of PD-1 with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, has demonstrated robust antitumor activity and a manageable toxicity profile in advanced solid tumors. In earlier data, pembrolizumab demonstrated efficacy ...

Seven additional patients...
متن کاملPreclinical Pharmacokinetics and Biodistribution Studies of 89Zr-Labeled Pembrolizumab.
Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) found on T and pro-B cells. Pembrolizumab prevents PD-1 ligation by both PD-L1 and PD-L2, preventing the immune dysregulation that otherwise occurs when T-cells encounter cells expressing these ligands. Clinically, PD-1 blockade elicits potent antitumor immune responses, and antibodies blocking PD-...
