14083 Background: Oblimersen (OBL) is a phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotide that decreases Bcl-2 protein levels. OBL has been administered by continuous intravenous infusion (CIVI) in most clinical studies. However, recent preclinical data suggest that equivalent or superior antitumor efficacy can be achieved with intermittent administration. We conducted a dose-ranging PK/PD study of OBL given by bolus SC injection and brief IV infusion to evaluate the feasibility of intermittent dosing. Methods: In this within-subject dose-escalation study, OBL was administered subcutaneously (SC) at doses of 75, 150 and 225 mg. In part II of the study, OBL was administered by 2-hr IV infusion beginning at 150 mg on day 1, by single-dose SC injection on day 8, and 2-hr IV daily x 5 consecutive days. Pharmacokinetics were assessed by non-compartmental analysis. Pharmacodynamic measurements of Bcl-2 levels in peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells were made using Western blot analysis. Results: OBL absorption after SC administration was rapid with a Tmax of ∼2 hours. Mean Cmax values were 0.76, 1.70 and 3.10 μg/ml for the 75, 150 and 225 mg SC doses, respectively. Mean AUC0- inf values were 7.78, 15.36 and 25.57 hr*μg/mL. Plots of dose-normalized Cmax and AUC vs. dose showed slopes close to zero, indicating approximate dose proportionality. AUC0–24 exposure with the 225 mg SC dose was similar to previously established 24-hr steady-state AUCs after 3 mg/kg CIVI. SC injection was associated with an inflammatory erythematous grade 1 rash at the injection site that resolved within 7 days. The 150 mg 2-hr IV infusion x 1 or daily x 5 has been well-tolerated. Conclusions: OBL exposure from a single SC injection is similar to a 24-hr 3 mg/kg CIVI, and the 2-hr IV infusion is currently being evaluated. Both schedules appear to be well- tolerated, may reduce requirements for CIVI, and could be incorporated into intermittent dosing regimens. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Purpose Systematic comparison of analysis methods of clinical microdialysis data for impact on target-site drug exposure and response. Methods 39 individuals received a 500 mg levofloxacin short-term infusion followed by 24-h dense sampling in plasma and microdialysate collection in interstitial space fluid (ISF). ISF concentrations were leveraged using non-compartmental (NCA) and compartmental analysis (CA) via (ii) relative recovery correction at midpoint of the collection interval (midpoint-NCA, midpoint-CA) and (ii) dialysate-based integrals of time (integral-CA). Exposure and adequacy of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) therapy via pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target-attainment (PTA) analysis were compared between approaches. Results Individual AUCISF estimates strongly varied for midpoint-NCA and midpoint-CA (≥52.3%CV) versus integral-CA (≤32.9%CV) owing to separation of variability in PK parameters (midpoint-CA = 46.5%–143%CVPK, integral-CA = 26.4%–72.6%CVPK) from recovery-related variability only in integral-CA (41.0%–50.3%CVrecovery). This also led to increased variability of AUCplasma for midpoint-CA (56.0%CV) versus midpoint-NCA and integral-CA (≤33.0%CV), and inaccuracy of predictive model performance of midpoint-CA in plasma (visual predictive check). PTA analysis translated into 33% of evaluated patient cases being at risk of incorrectly rejecting recommended dosing regimens at CAP-related epidemiological cut-off values. Conclusions Integral-CA proved most appropriate to characterise clinical pharmacokinetics- and microdialysis-related variability. Employing this knowledge will improve the understanding of drug target-site PK for therapeutic decision-making.

7536 Background: AMG 330 binds both CD33 and CD3 and redirects T cells toward CD33+ cells leading to T-cell‒mediated cytotoxicity against AML blasts. An ongoing open label phase I dose-escalation study (NCT02520427) has shown preliminary activity and acceptable safety in relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients (pts) (Ravandi et al. ASH 2018). Pharmacokinetics and exposure-response (E-R) relationships of AMG 330 were characterized in this trial. Methods: A continuous IV infusion of AMG 330 was evaluated at escalating target doses (range from 0.5 to 720 μg/day) using a 3+3 design with pts receiving step dose/s prior to reaching target doses of ≥ 30 μg/day. Population pharmacokinetics (popPK) using non-linear mixed effects modeling and E-R analyses were conducted to characterize relationships between AMG 330 exposure (steady-state concentration [Css]) at target dose, the baseline tumor burden, clinical response per revised IWG criteria and incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Results: As of Dec 10, 2019, 55 patients (males, 56.4%; median age, 58.0 [18.0–80.0] years) were enrolled in 16 cohorts. AMG 330 PK was best described by a one-compartment linear PK model. Dose dependent increases were observed in AMG 330 Css exposures. Responders typically showed higher AMG 330 Css than non-responders. Preliminary exploratory analysis indicated that higher AMG 330 exposures, lower baseline leukemic burden in bone marrow and CD33+ AML cells in peripheral blood, and higher baseline Effector:Target cell ratio may be associated with clinical response. Additionally, a positive relationship was observed for AMG 330 exposures and baseline leukemic burden (p < 0.05) with probability of CRS occurrence and severity. Based on the model, at a baseline leukemic burden of 20%, a 240 µg/day target dose is predicted to result in a 28% and 4% probability of developing CRS of grade ≥ 2 and ≥ 3, respectively. Conclusions: Clinical pharmacokinetic profile and E-R relationships of AMG 330 were characterized to identify optimal AMG 330 dosing regimens that minimize the risk for CRS in ongoing and planned clinical investigations.

BackgroundFull application of cytokines as oncoimmunotherapeutics requires identification of optimal regimens. Our initial effort with intravenous bolus recombinant human interleukin-15 (rhIL-15) was limited by postinfusional reactions. Subcutaneous injection and continuous intravenous infusion for 10 days (CIV-10) provided rhIL-15 with less toxicity with CIV-10 giving the best increases in CD8+ lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. To ease rhIL-15 administration, we shortened time of infusion. Treatment with rhIL-15 at a dose of 3–5 µg/kg as a 5-day continuous intravenous infusion (CIV-5) had no dose-limiting toxicities while effector cell stimulation was comparable to the CIV-10 regimen.MethodsEleven patients with metastatic cancers were treated with rhIL-15 CIV-5, 3 µg (n=4), 4 µg (n=3), and 5 µg/kg/day (n=4) in a phase I dose-escalation study (April 6, 2012).ResultsImpressive expansions of NK cells were seen at all dose levels (mean 34-fold), including CD56bright NK cells (mean 144-fold for 4 µg/kg), as well as an increase in CD8+ T cells (mean 3.38-fold). At 5 µg/kg/day, there were no dose-limiting toxicities but pulmonary capillary leak and slower patient recovery. This led to our choice of the 4 µg/kg as CIV-5 dose for further testing. Cytolytic capacity of CD56bright and CD56dim NK cells was increased by interleukin-15 assayed by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), natural cytotoxicity and natural killer group 2D-mediated cytotoxicity. The best response was stable disease.ConclusionsIL-15 administered as CIV-5 substantially expanded NK cells with increased cytotoxic functions. Tumor-targeting monoclonal antibodies dependent on ADCC as their mechanism of action including alemtuzumab, obinutuzumab, avelumab, and mogamulizumab could benefit from those NK cell expansions and provide a promising therapeutic strategy.Trial registration numbersNCT01572493, NCT03759184, NCT03905135, NCT04185220 and NCT02689453.

Regular physical activity prescription is a key point for healthy aging and chronic disease management and prevention. Our aim was to evaluate the antioxidant defense system and the mitochondrial status in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and the level of oxidative damage in plasma in active, intermediate and inactive elderly. In total, 127 healthy men and women >55 years old participated in the study and were classified according on their level of declared physical activity. A more active lifestyle was accompanied by lower weight, fat mass and body mass index when compared to a more sedentary life-style. Active participants exhibited lower circulating PBMCs than inactive peers. Participants who reported higher levels of exercise had increased antioxidant protein levels when compared to more sedentary partakers. Carbonylated protein levels exhibited similar behavior, accompanied by a significant raise in expression of cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV in PBMCs. No significant changes were found in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and in the expression of structural (MitND5) and mitochondrial dynamic-related (PGC1α and Mitofusins1/2.) proteins. Active lifestyle and daily activities exert beneficial effects on body composition and it enhances the antioxidant defenses and oxidative metabolism capabilities in PBMCs from healthy elderly.
