Decnupaz: which risks did reviewers probe?

pivekimab sunirine · CD123
Immune & cytokine safety
ADA in monkeys reduced exposure; thymic lymphoid depletion and lymphopenia; ADCC present in vitro
“In animals that were ADA positive, there was a noticeable decrease in systemic exposure to both PVEK and TAb on Day 85 vs Day 1.”
✓ VerifiedFDA multi-discipline review, p. 47Source ↗
Biodistribution & persistence
[3H]PVEK in rat: highest in marrow, liver, kidney, lung, heart, spleen; tissue:plasma <1; mainly fecal/biliary excretion
“The highest concentrations of radioactivity were observed in tissues with high blood volume: bone marrow, liver, kidneys, lungs, heart and spleen.”

Modality-specific risk
DNA-alkylating IGN payload: myelosuppression, GI, skin, liver/VOD; genotoxic payload
“Most notably from the nonclinical studies, bone marrow depletion, gastrointestinal toxicity, and elevated liver enzymes corresponded directly to the most significant clinical adverse events requiring management through dose modifications and supportive care, including veno-occlusive disease (VOD).”

Same question, other ADCs

Adcetris

brentuximab vedotin · CD30
Anti-drug antibodies (PAHA) in monkeys reduced ADC exposure but increased MMAE exposure without added toxicity

Besponsa

inotuzumab ozogamicin · CD22
Low ADA incidence in rats (10-13%); no ADA detected in monkeys

Datroway

datopotamab deruxtecan · Trop-2
ADA in 5/6 monkeys at 10 mg/kg reducing exposure; minimal in vitro cytokine release; transient CRP increases

Elahere

mirvetuximab soravtansine · FRα
No ADA in any monkey up to 8 mg/kg; bone marrow and lymphoid depletion; no stand-alone immunotox

Emrelis

telisotuzumab vedotin · c-Met
No substantial cytokine release from human PBMC; no ADA in 13-week monkey study; low C1q, no complement activation

Enhertu

fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan · HER2
No treatment-emergent ADA in rat or monkey studies; ADCC activity retained in vitro

Kadcyla

ado-trastuzumab emtansine · HER2
No ADA detected after single dose in monkey safety pharmacology study; ADA assessed across monkey studies

Mylotarg

gemtuzumab ozogamicin · CD33
ADA in rats (reduced exposure) and some monkeys; marked eosinophilia and hypersensitivity reactions in monkeys

Padcev

enfortumab vedotin · Nectin-4
ADA in rats and monkeys reduced exposure on repeat dosing; no ADCC/CDC, ADCP activity in vitro

Polivy

polatuzumab vedotin · CD79b
Surrogate ADC depleted B cells (expected pharmacology); ADA in monkeys without exposure impact

Tivdak

tisotumab vedotin · Tissue factor
ADA in most monkeys after repeat dosing, reduced exposure in some; immunotoxic potential minimal

Trodelvy

sacituzumab govitecan · Trop-2
ADA in all monkeys at all doses in 13-week study, reducing low-dose exposure; reduced thymic/lymphoid cellularity

Zynlonta

loncastuximab tesirine · CD19
Pro-inflammatory responses (WBC, fibrinogen, multi-organ inflammation) typical of PBD ADCs; ADA in few monkeys
