Antibody Drug Conjugates for Cancer Treatment JAMA ONCOLOGY PATIENT PAGE Antibody Drug Conjugates for Cancer Treatment Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are drugs designed to target specific cancer cells and release a toxic drug into the cancer cell. The Parts of an ADC and Their Importance Antibody drug conjugates work like a “smart bomb” directed against What Is an Antibody Drug Conjugate? An antibody drug conjugate (ADC) consists of chemotherapy drug cancer cells. These drugs are composed of 3 parts: an antibody drug molecules bound to an antibody by special proteins called linkers. that is specific for the type of cancer being targeted, a cytotoxic chemotherapy drug, and a linker protein to hold the 2 parts Antibody that can bind to a cancer cell together. The drug is administered, usually through a vein, and the antibody part of the drug targets the specific cancer cell protein Linker that it was made to find. When the antibody finds the protein on the proteins outside of the cancer cell, the cell pulls the drug inside. Once inside Chemotherapy the cell, the linker releases the toxic cancer drug directly inside the molecules ADC cancer cell. By targeting the cancer cells in this way, exposure of How does an ADC work? healthy cells to the toxic cancer drug is decreased. 1 ADCs bind to receptors that NORMAL Possible Adverse Effects are found on cancer cells but CELL The adverse effects of each drug are different based on the pro- not usually on normal cells. tein it is made to target and the cytotoxic drug it contains.

These agents provide numerous benefits compared to traditional small molecule drugs, though their clinical use still requires optimization. The pharmacology of mAbs/ADCs is complex and because ADCs are comprised of multiple components, individual agent characteristics and patient variables can affect their disposition. To further improve the clinical use and rational development of these agents, it is imperative to comprehend the complex mechanisms employed by antibody-based agents in traversing numerous biological barriers and how agent/patient factors affect tumor delivery, toxicities, efficacy, and ultimately, biodistribution.

We report the pharmacokinetics (PK) and drug–drug interaction (DDI) for pola. Methods Six or eight cycles of pola 1.0–1.8 mg/kg were administered intravenously every 3 weeks (q3w) with R/G-CHP. Exposures of pola [including antibody-conjugated monomethyl auristatin E (acMMAE) and unconjugated MMAE] and R/G-CHP were assessed by non-compartmental analysis and/or descriptive statistics with cross-cycle comparisons to cycle 1 and/or after multiple cycles. Pola was evaluated as a potential victim and perpetrator of a PK drug–drug interaction with R/G-CHP. Population PK (popPK) analysis assessed the impact of prior treatment status (naïve vs. relapsed/refractory) on pola PK. Results Pola PK was similar between treatment arms and independent of line of therapy. Pola PK was dose proportional from 1.0 to 1.8 mg/kg with R/G-CHP.

  • Monoclonal Antibodies
    MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES ALEMTUZUMAB ® (CAMPATH 1H ) I. MECHANISM OF ACTION Antibody-dependent lysis of leukemic cells following cell surface binding. Alemtuzumab is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody that is directed against surface glycoprotein CD52. CD52 is expressed on the surface of normal and malignant B and T lymphocytes, NK cells, monocytes, macrophages, a subpopulation of granulocytes, and tissues of the male reproductive system (CD 52 is not expressed on erythrocytes or hematopoietic stem cells). The alemtuzumab antibody is an IgG1 kappa with human variable framework and constant regions, and complementarity-determining regions from a murine monoclonal antibody (campath 1G). II. PHARMACOKINETICS Cmax and AUC show dose proportionality over increasing dose ranges. The overall average half-life is 12 days. Peak and trough levels of Campath rise during the first weeks of Campath therapy, and approach steady state by week 6. The rise in serum Campath concentration corresponds with the reduction in malignant lymphocytes. III. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Campath can be administered intravenously or subcutaneously. Intravenous: Alemtuzumab therapy should be initiated at a dose of 3 mg administered as a 2-hour IV infusion daily. When the 3 mg dose is tolerated (i.e., ≤ Grade 2 infusion related side effects), the daily dose should be escalated to 10mg and continued until tolerated (i.e., ≤ Grade 2 infusion related side effects). When the 10 mg dose is tolerated, the maintenance dose of 30 mg may be initiated. The maintenance dose of alemtuzumab is 30 mg/day administered three times a week on alternate days (i.e. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), for up to 12 weeks.
