ABSTRACT
The objectives of this 2-phase study were to elucidate pharmacokinetics (PK), in vivo 24-hour recovery, and red blood cell (RBC) survival properties of RBC-encapsulated dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) prepared using the EryDex System (EDS). The 24-hour RBC recovery and T50 survival phase studied subjects were randomized to receive autologous RBCs loaded with either 15-20 mg DSP (Group 1A) or sham saline (Group 2A). Loaded RBCs were radiolabeled with 51-Cr, and the labeled RBCs were followed over time in vivo. The PK phase evaluated dose levels of 2.5-5 mg (Group 1B) and 15-20 mg (Group 2B) DSP encapsulated in RBCs infused into healthy randomized subjects. The mean ± SD 24-hour RBC recovery was 77.9% ± 3.3% and 72.7% ± 10.5% for Groups 1A and 2A, respectively. The mean ± SD RBC life span was 84.3 ± 8.3 days in Group 1A and 88.9 ± 6.2 days in Group 2A. The PK phase actual DSP loading doses (mean ± SEM) were 4.2 ± 0.27 mg and 16.9 ± 0.90 mg in Groups 1B and 2B, respectively. Release of dexamethasone from RBCs in vivo peaked at 1 hour, and a sustained release of dexamethasone could be detected until 35 days after the single intravenous infusion in Group 2B. The mean RBC in vivo recovery for DSP-loaded processed cells compares similarly to the 24-hour recovery of regulated RBC products intended for transfusion. There was a minimal but acceptable adverse impact on the survival of EDS-processed RBCs. DSP-loaded autologous RBCs, prepared using the EDS, delivered a sustained dose of dexamethasone in vivo.
