Population pharmacokinetic data analysis of three phase I studies of matuzumab, a humanised anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody in clinical cancer development

Description
Summary:A population pharmacokinetic model based on data from three phase I studies was to be developed including a covariate analysis to describe the concentration–time profiles of matuzumab, a novel humanised monoclonal antibody. Matuzumab was administered as multiple 1 h i.v. infusions with 11 different dosing regimens ranging from 400 to 2000 mg, q1w–q3w. For analysis, 90 patients with 1256 serum concentration–time data were simultaneously fitted using the software NONMEM™. Data were best described using a two-compartment model with the parameters central ( V 1 ) and peripheral distribution volume ( V 2 ), intercompartmental ( Q ) and linear (CLL) clearance and an additional nonlinear elimination pathway ( K m , V max ). Structural parameters were in agreement with immunoglobulin characteristics. In total, interindividual variability on V max , CLL, V 1 and V 2 and interoccasion variability on CLL was 22–62% CV. A covariate analysis identified weight having an influence on V 1 (+0.44% per kg) and CLL (+0.87% per kg). All parameters were estimated with good precision (RSE
