Popis: | Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that bind PCSK9 and prevent PCSK9:low-density lipoprotein receptor complex formation reduce serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) in vivo. PCSK9-mediated lysosomal degradation of bound mAb, however, dramatically reduces mAb exposure and limits duration of effect. Administration of high-affinity mAb1:PCSK9 complex (1:2) to mice resulted in significantly lower mAb1 exposure compared with mAb1 dosed alone in normal mice or in PCSK9 knockout mice lacking antigen. To identify mAb-binding characteristics that minimize lysosomal disposition, the pharmacokinetic behavior of four mAbs representing a diverse range of PCSK9-binding affinities at neutral (serum) and acidic (endosomal) pH was evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Results revealed an inverse correlation between affinity and both mAb exposure and duration of LDL-C lowering. High-affinity mAb1 exhibited the lowest exposure and shortest duration of action (6 days), whereas mAb2 displayed prolonged exposure and LDL-C reduction (51 days) as a consequence of lower affinity and pH-sensitive PCSK9 binding. mAbs with shorter endosomal PCSK9:mAb complex dissociation half-lives ( |
