ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Etrolizumab is a novel, dual-action anti-ß7 integrin antibody studied in phase 3 trials in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. An autoinjector (AI) is being developed in parallel to complement the prefilled syringe with needle safety device (PFS-NSD) for subcutaneous (SC) administration in these trials. Here we demonstrate the comparable pharmacokinetics, tolerability, and safety of both devices.METHODS:
This randomized, open-label, two-part study in healthy participants evaluated the comparability of etrolizumab exposure between the AI and the PFS-NSD. Part 1 (pilot) involved a small number of participants, and initial results were used to finalize the design of the larger part 2 (pivotal) study. In both parts, participants were randomly assigned to receive a single SC dose of etrolizumab 105 mg by AI or PFS-NSD. Randomization was stratified by body weight. Primary pharmacokinetic outcomes were Cmax, AUClast, and AUC0-inf.RESULTS:
One hundred and eighty healthy participants (part 1, n = 30; part 2, n = 150) received a single SC dose of etrolizumab by AI or PFS-NSD. Primary pharmacokinetic results from part 1 supported modification of the part 2 study design. Results from part 2 demonstrated that etrolizumab exposure was equivalent between devices, with geometric mean ratios (GMRs) between AI and PFS-NSD of 102% (90% confidence interval [CI] 94.2-111) for Cmax, 98.0% (90% CI 89.3-107) for AUClast, and 97.6% (90% CI 88.6-107) for AUC0-inf. Median tmax and mean terminal t1/2 were also similar between devices. GMRs and 90% CIs of all primary pharmacokinetic parameters were fully contained within the predefined equivalence limits (80-125%).CONCLUSION:
This pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that single SC injections of etrolizumab 105 mg using an AI or a PFS-NSD resulted in equivalent etrolizumab exposure and similar safety and tolerability in healthy participants. Taken together, these results support the use of an AI for etrolizumab administration. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02996019.Palavras-chave
