Safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of anti-IL-4Rα antibody SHR-1819 in healthy subjects: A randomized, controlled phase I study.

SHR-1819 is a novel anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody currently under clinical development for use in patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation phase I trial, we evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of SHR-1819 in healthy subjects. Subjects received a single subcutaneous injection of SHR-1819 or placebo, with dose escalation starting at 60 mg and subsequently increasing to 120, 240, 360, and 720 mg. A total of 42 eligible subjects were randomized, and 33 received SHR-1819 (1 subject in the 60 mg cohort and 8 subjects each in the 120, 240, 360 , and 720 mg cohorts) and 9 received placebo. SHR-1819 was well-tolerated, with the majority of adverse events being mild in severity. The exposure of SHR-1819 increased in a manner greater than proportionally with a dose range of 120 to 720 mg. The median Tmax was within 4-7 days (60-720 mg), and the mean half-life ranged from 2.88 to 5.97 days (120-720 mg). The clearance rate of SHR-1819 exhibited a decrease with increasing dose level. Administration of SHR-1819 resulted in a certain degree of reduction in the percentage change from baseline in concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers TARC/CCL17 and IgE, while the reduction of TARC/CCL17 concentrations showed a dose-dependent trend. More than half of the total subjects treated with SHR-1819 were reported antidrug antibody-negative. The preliminary data from this phase I study support further development of SHR-1819 for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases.

Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single intravenous dose of SHR-1707 in healthy adult subjects: two randomized, double-blind, single-ascending-dose, phase 1 studies.

SHR-1707 is a novel humanized anti-Aβ IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds to Aβ fibrils and monomers to block the formation of Aβ plaques or to promote the microglial phagocytosis of Aβ. Preclinical studies showed that SHR-1707 reduced brain Aβ deposition in 5xFAD transgenic mice. Herein, we conducted two phase 1 studies to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single intravenous dose of SHR-1707 in healthy adult subjects. Two randomized, double-blind, single-ascending-dose, phase 1 studies were conducted in China (Study CHN) and Australia (Study AUS). Study CHN consisted of 2 parts. In Part 1, eligible healthy young adults (18-45 years) were sequentially randomized 8:2 to receive SHR-1707 (five cohorts: 2, 6, 20, 40, and 60 mg/kg) or placebo in each cohort; in Part 2, elderly subjects (55-80 years) were randomized 8:4 to receive SHR-1707 (20 mg/kg) or placebo. A similar design was used in Study AUS, but with only healthy young adults enrolled across three dosing cohorts (2, 20, and 60 mg/kg). Sixty-two (part 1/2, n = 50/12; age range, 18-42/55-63 years) and 30 subjects (age range, 18-42 years) received SHR-1707 or placebo in Study CHN and Study AUS, respectively. In Study CHN, all treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were mild, with the most common being transient laboratory abnormalities. In Study AUS, TRAEs were mostly mild (1 moderate event each with SHR-1707/placebo); the most common TRAEs with SHR-1707 were dysgeusia and fatigue (8.3% each). In both studies, the exposure of SHR-1707 increased in a slightly greater than dose-proportional manner over the dose range of 2-60 mg/kg in young adults; there was a dose-dependent increase in plasma Aβ42 concentration following SHR-1707 administration compared with the placebo group. The safety and PK and PD profiles of SHR-1707 in the elderly subjects were consistent with the younger counterpart at the same dose level. No ethnic difference in safety, PK and PD of SHR-1707 was observed. A single intravenous dose of SHR-1707 at 2-60 mg/kg was safe and well tolerated in healthy young adult and elderly subjects. The PK and PD profiles are supportive for further clinical development. NCT04973189 (retrospectively registered on Jul.21, 2021) and NCT04745104 (registered on Feb.6, 2021) on clinicaltrials.gov.

Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, and Tolerability of Stapokibart in Healthy Volunteers and Adult Subjects with Atopic Dermatitis.

Stapokibart, a novel humanized anti-interleukin (IL)-4 receptor alpha monoclonal antibody, inhibits the signaling of IL-4 and IL-13, which are key drivers of type 2 inflammation in atopic dermatitis (AD). This study aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of stapokibart in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose (SAD) study and a multiple ascending dose (MAD) study. The SAD study enrolled 33 healthy male adults aged 18-65 years at a single center. The MAD study enrolled 39 patients with moderate-to-severe AD aged 18-70 years at seven centers. Enrolled subjects were randomized to subcutaneous (SC) doses of stapokibart (75-600 mg) or placebo. Serum thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and total immunoglobulin E (IgE) were measured as PD biomarkers for stapokibart. Similar PK characteristics were observed in healthy volunteers and subjects with AD after the initial administration. Stapokibart exhibited non-linear pharmacokinetics in both types of subjects. Following single doses, the mean maximum serum concentration (Cmax) ranged from 5.3 to 63.0 μg/mL, median Tmax ranged from 3.0 to 7.0 days, mean terminal half-life (t1/2z) ranged from 2.39 to 7.43 days, and mean apparent volume (Vz/F) ranged from 3.64 to 6.73 L in healthy subjects. The mean AUC accumulation ratio was 2.29 in subjects with AD after three doses of stapokibart 300 mg administered every 2 weeks. The median serum total IgE and TARC levels on day 43 decreased from baseline by 14.9-25.2% and 48.6-77.0%, respectively, among subjects with AD receiving three doses of stapokibart. No subjects developed grade ≥ 3 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs or discontinued the study because of AEs. The incidence of AEs was similar between stapokibart and placebo groups. Stapokibart showed favorable pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and tolerability in the SAD and MAD studies. Based on these results, phase II and phase III trials of stapokibart have been performed in subjects with moderate-to-severe AD. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT06161090 (29 November, 2023), NCT04893941 (15 May, 2021).

A phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of SHR-1905, a long-acting anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin antibody, in healthy subjects.

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is integral to inducing innate and T helper two cell inflammation that leads to clinical symptoms of asthma. SHR-1905 is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 kappa monoclonal antibody that inhibits TSLP bioactivity, developed for the treatment of severe uncontrolled asthma. This phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled single ascending dose study assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of subcutaneous SHR-1905 in healthy subjects. Five dose cohorts were planned (50, 100, 200, 400, and 600 mg) and subjects were randomized (8:2) in each cohort to receive SHR-1905 or placebo with a follow-up period up to Day 253. The majority of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild and the incidence of TEAEs was comparable between the SHR-1905 and the placebo groups. The maximum serum concentration was reached 7.0-17.6 days after injection. The serum concentration of SHR-1905 increased with increasing dose level, and SHR-1905 exposure exhibited in a slightly greater-than-dose-proportional manner from 50 to 600 mg. SHR-1905 had a prolonged serum half-life around 80 days supporting every 6-month dosing. In SHR-1905 treated subjects, 15% tested positive for anti-drug antibodies post-dose with no apparent effect on corresponding PK profiles or safety. SHR-1905 demonstrated a good safety and tolerability profile with a long half-life in healthy subjects after a single administration in the dose range of 50-600 mg. clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT04800263.
