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

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 (

,
V

). Structural parameters were in agreement with immunoglobulin characteristics. In total, interindividual variability on

and interoccasion variability on CLL was 22–62% CV. A covariate analysis identified weight having an influence on

(+0.44% per kg) and CLL (+0.87% per kg). All parameters were estimated with good precision (RSE |
