An Open-label, Multicenter, Phase 4 Study to Assess the Effects of a Prophylactic Immune Tolerizing Regimen in MPS II Treatment-Naïve Patients Planned to Receive ELAPRASE Who Are at Risk of Developing Persistent Neutralizing Antibodies

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of a prophylactic immune tolerizing regimen (ITR) to prevent or reduce the development of high titer anti-idursulfase antibodies in treatment-naïve participants with Hunter syndrome.
In this open label, single arm study, all participants will receive ELAPRASE treatment and a prophylactic ITR.
Participants will be treated with ELAPRASE for up to 104 weeks. The prophylactic ITR will start 1 day prior to the start of ELAPRASE. The prophylactic ITR will consist of a 5-week cycle of: Rituximab (intravenously [IV], weekly for 4 weeks); Methotrexate (oral, 3 times per week for 5 weeks) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (IV, every 4 weeks of the cycle).
Following the completion of 1 cycle, an assessment will be made at Month 6, 12, and 18 regarding the need for administering another 5-week cycle of the ITR.
Participants will be in the study for approximately 112 weeks (including 6 weeks for screening, up to 104 weeks for treatment, and 2 weeks for follow-up).

Abstract:

Instruction:

The human amphoterin-induced gene and open reading frame (AMIGO) was identified as a novel cell adhesion molecule of type I transmembrane protein. AMIGO2 is one of three members of the AMIGO family (AMIGO1, 2, and 3), and the similarity between them is approximately 40% at the amino acid level. We have previously shown that AMIGO2 functions as a driver of liver metastasis. Immunohistochemical analysis of AMIGO2 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) using a commercially available anti-AMIGO2 mouse monoclonal antibody clone sc-373699 (sc mAb) correlated with liver metastasis and poor prognosis. However, the sc mAb was found to be cross-reactive with all three molecules in the AMIGO family.

Methods:

We generated a rat monoclonal antibody clone rTNK1A0012 (rTNK mAb) for human AMIGO2. The rTNK mAb was used to re-evaluate the association between AMIGO2 expression and liver metastases/clinical outcomes using the same CRC tissue samples previously reported with sc mAb.

Results:

Western blot analysis revealed that a rTNK mAb was identified as being specific for AMIGO2 protein and did not cross-react with AMIGO1 and AMIGO3. The rTNK mAb and sc mAb showed higher AMIGO2 expression, which correlates with a high frequency of liver metastases (65.3% and 47.5%, respectively), while multivariate analysis showed that AMIGO2 expression was an independent prognostic factor for liver metastases (p = 7.930E-10 and p = 1.707E-5). The Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the rTNK mAb (p = 0.004), but not sc mAb (p = 0.107), predicted worse overall survival in patients with high AMIGO2 expression. The relationship between AMIGO2 expression and poor disease-specific survival showed a higher level of significance for rTNK mAb (p = 0.00004) compared to sc mAb (p = 0.001).

Conclusions:

These results indicate that the developed rTNK1A0012 mAb is an antibody that specifically recognizes AMIGO2 by immunohistochemistry and can be a more reliable and applicable method for the diagnostic detection of liver metastases and worse prognosis in patients with high AMIGO2-expressing CRC.

Abstract:

Introduction:

Glycemic variability (GV) represents the amplitude of oscillations in glucose levels over time and is associated with higher mortality in critically ill patients. Our aim is to evaluate the impact of GV on acute ischemic stroke (IS) outcomes in humans and explore the impact of two different insulin administration routes on GV in an animal model.

Methods:

This translational study consists of two studies conducted in parallel: The first study is an observational, multicenter, prospective clinical study in which 340 patients with acute IS will be subcutaneously implanted a sensor to continuously monitor blood glucose levels for 96 h. The second study is a basic experimental study using an animal model (rats) with permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and induced hyperglycemia (through an intraperitoneal injection of nicotinamide and streptozotocin). The animal study will include the following 6 groups (10 animals per group): sham; hyperglycemia without IS; IS without hyperglycemia; IS and hyperglycemia without treatment; IS and hyperglycemia and intravenous insulin; and IS and hyperglycemia and subcutaneous insulin. The endpoint for the first study is mortality at 3 months, while the endpoints for the animal model study are GV, functional recovery and biomarkers.

Discussion:

The GLIAS-III study will be the first translational approach analyzing the prognostic influence of GV, evaluated by the use of subcutaneous glucose monitors, in acute stroke.Trial registrationhttps://www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04001049)

Rituximab Biosimilar Prevents Poor Outcomes of Microscopic Polyangiitis and Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis as Effectively as Rituximab Originator

Q4 · MEDICINE

ArticleOA

Author: Park, Yong-Beom ; Lee, Sang-Won ; Song, Jason Jungsik ; Kwon, Hyeok Chan ; Kim, Minyoung Kevin

PURPOSE:

There has been no extensive study to compare the efficacy between rituximab originator (Mabthera®) and its biosimilar (Truxima®) for microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Here, we investigated the clinical effects of rituximab on poor outcomes of MPA and GPA in Korean patients, and compared those between Mabthera® and Truxima®.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of a total of 139 patients, including 97 MPA patients and 42 GPA patients. At diagnosis, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity and comorbidities were assessed. During follow-up, all-cause mortality, relapse, end-stage renal disease, cerebrovascular accident and acute coronary syndrome were evaluated as poor outcomes. In this study, rituximab was used as either Mabthera® or Truxima®.

RESULTS:

The median age at diagnosis was 60.1 years and 46 patients were men (97 MPA and 42 GPA patients). Among poor outcomes, patients receiving rituximab exhibited a significantly lower cumulative relapse-free survival rate compared to those not receiving rituximab (p=0.002). Nevertheless, rituximab use did not make any difference in other poor outcomes of MPA and GPA except for relapse, which might be a rebuttal to the fact that rituximab use after relapse eventually led to better prognosis. There were no significant differences in variables at diagnosis and during follow-up between patients receiving Mabthera® and those receiving Truxima®. Patients receiving Truxima® exhibited a similar pattern of the cumulative survival rates of each poor outcome to those receiving Mabthera®.

CONCLUSION:

Truxima® prevents poor outcomes of MPA and GPA as effectively as does Mabthera®.

Roche doubles down with another subcutaneous FDA nod, this one for MS star Ocrevus

The FDA has signed off on Genentech's subcutaneous version of multiple sclerosis blockbuster Ocrevus, which will give patients a convenient alternative to the treatment's original infused formulation. When Roche's Genentech gained approval for Ocrevus in 2017, the first-in-class infused drug quickly became the best-selling treatment in a crowded multiple sclerosis (MS) market. Three years later, Novartis’ next-in-class Kesimpta stole some of Ocrevus’ thunder, offering a convenience edge with its once-monthly, at-home prefilled injection. Now, Genentech has responded with a new formulation as the FDA has endorsed a subcutaneous version of Ocrevus. While it can’t match the at-home convenience of Kesimpta, subcutaneous Ocrevus Zunovo, with its twice-a-year, under-the-skin dosing regimen, provides an attractive option.“This is something than can be provided in clinics and doesn’t require people to go to an infusion center,” David Jones, Genentech’s medical director for MS, said in an interview. “This will expand access to individuals who may not be able to access Ocrevus now, especially for reasons like geography or rural setting, individuals that might have challenges with their healthcare provider.”Ocrevus Zunovo can be injected in 10 minutes, compared to the two-plus hours needed for an infusion of the drug. For patients who experience side effects, the intravenous infusion can take up to four hours. Oddly enough, on Thursday, Genentech also earned an FDA nod for a subcutaneous formulation of another of its key products as cancer drug Tecentriq Hybreza got a thumbs-up.Setting up Ocrevus Zunovo’s approval was a phase 3 study that showed its noninferiority to its original version as measured by the level of drug in the blood 12 weeks after administration. The injected formulation also matched the performance of the infused treatment in controlling magnetic resonance imaging lesion activity in the brain over 12 weeks.A later look at the OCARINA II study showed that 97% of patients on subcutaneous Ocrevus experienced no relapses for up to 48 weeks after injection. The subcutaneous treatment also suppressed brain lesions by 97%. Most patients had no T1 gadolinium-enhancing lesions or worsening T2 lesions, which are markers of active inflammation and burden of disease. Ocrevus Zunovo requires more medicine, at 920 mg per dosing, versus 600 mg for an infusion, which is “not really surprising because not all of the drug is going to be absorbed,” Jones said. Ocrevus is designed to target CD20-positive B cells, which are responsible for inflammatory damage to nerve cells in MS.Ocrevus Zunovo was developed using Halozyme Therapeutics’ Enhanze drug delivery technology, which employs an enzyme to allow large molecules like Ocrevus to be given under the skin.The hookup between the companies is well established as it paved the way for the Tecentriq Hybreza FDA nod as well as approvals for subcutaneous versions of Genentech’s blood cancer drug Rituxan Hycela and injectable cancer treatments Herceptin Hylecta and Phesgo. Ocrevus is currently Roche’s top-selling product, with 2023 sales reaching 6.38 billion Swiss francs ($7 billion), which was good for 13% growth over 2022 at constant exchange rates. Ocrevus holds about a 24% MS patient share across the U.S. and five largest European markets.Meanwhile, Kesimpta doubled sales in 2023 to $2.17 billion. The drug has secured new-to-brand share leadership in seven of the 10 major markets outside of the U.S., according to a Novartis report in January.The two CD20 antibodies are among the most expensive MS treatments. While Ocrevus carries a list price of $79,000 annually, Kesimpta goes for $83,000 per year before rebates and discounts.Another force in the MS market is Merck KGaA’s DMD treatment Mavenclad, which generated sales of $1.1 billion last year. Former MS blockbusters that have lost their market exclusivity in the last few years include Teva’s Copaxone, Sanofi’s Aubagio and Novartis’ Gilenya.
