brentuximab vedotin · CD30Anti-drug antibodies (PAHA) in monkeys reduced ADC exposure but increased MMAE exposure without added toxicity
Datroway: which risks did reviewers probe?
datopotamab deruxtecan · Trop-2
Immune & cytokine safety
ADA in 5/6 monkeys at 10 mg/kg reducing exposure; minimal in vitro cytokine release; transient CRP increases
“Five of 6 monkeys given 10 mg/kg showed ADA positive responses after the 3-month dosing period, and there was a reduction in Dato-DXd exposure after the 4th dose compared to the 1st dose.”
Biodistribution & persistence
14C-DXd rapid wide distribution without retention (highest intestine, bladder, kidney); low DXd release in plasma (≤6.5%); biliary/fecal excretion
“Tissues with the highest concentrations of radioactivity included the small and large intestines, urinary bladder, and kidney.”
Modality-specific risk
Interstitial lung disease (Trop2 in alveolar epithelium), ocular surface/corneal toxicity, GI and hematologic DXd payload toxicity
“Lung toxicity noted in monkeys is consistent with expression of Trop2 in the lung, and Trop2 staining was noted on the plasma membrane of the alveolar epithelium in humans and monkeys with similar frequency and intensity in a tissue-cross reactivity study.”
