Integrated Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Model of a Bispecific CD3xCD123 DART Molecule in Nonhuman Primates: Evaluation of Activity and Impact of Immunogenicity
Abstract
Purpose: Flotetuzumab (MGD006 or S80880) is a bispecific molecule that recognizes CD3 and CD123 membrane proteins, redirecting T cells to kill CD123-expressing cells for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. In this study, we developed a mathematical model to characterize MGD006 exposure-response relationships and to assess the impact of its immunogenicity in cynomolgus monkeys.Experimental Design: Thirty-two animals received multiple escalating doses (100-300-600-1,000 ng/kg/day) via intravenous infusion continuously 4 days a week. The model reflects sequential binding of MGD006 to CD3 and CD123 receptors. Formation of the MGD006/CD3 complex was connected to total T cells undergoing trafficking, whereas the formation of the trimolecular complex results in T-cell activation and clonal expansion. Activated T cells were used to drive the peripheral depletion of CD123-positive cells. Anti-drug antibody development was linked to MGD006 disposition as an elimination pathway. Model validation was tested by predicting the activity of MGD006 in eight monkeys receiving continuous 7-day infusions.Results: MGD006 disposition and total T-cell and CD123-positive cell profiles were well characterized. Anti-drug antibody development led to...Continue Reading

Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.
