Abstrakt: MTBT1466A is a high-affinity TGFβ3-specific humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody with reduced Fc effector function, currently under investigation in clinical trials as a potential anti-fibrotic therapy. Here, we characterized the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MTBT1466A in mice and monkeys and predicted the PK/PD of MTBT1466A in humans to guide the selection of the first-in-human (FIH) starting dose. MTBT1466A demonstrated a typical IgG1-like biphasic PK profile in monkeys, and the predicted human clearance of 2.69 mL/day/kg and t 1/2 of 20.4 days are consistent with those expected for a human IgG1 antibody. In a mouse model of bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis, changes in expression of TGFβ3-related genes, serpine1, fibronectin-1, and collagen 1A1 were used as PD biomarkers to determine the minimum pharmacologically active dose of 1 mg/kg. Unlike in the fibrosis mouse model, evidence of target engagement in healthy monkeys was only observed at higher doses. Using a PKPD-guided approach, the recommended FIH dose of 50 mg, IV, provided exposures that were shown to be safe and well tolerated in healthy volunteers. MTBT1466A PK in healthy volunteers was predicted reasonably well using a PK model with allometric scaling of PK parameters from monkey data. Taken together, this work provides insights into the PK/PD behavior of MTBT1466A in preclinical species, and supports the translatability of the preclinical data into the clinic.
