Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
1. Mechanism of Action- Tebentafusp-tebn is a bispecific gp100 peptide-HLA-A*02:01 directed T cell receptor CD3 T cell engager.
2. Pharmacodynamics - Lymphocyte counts declined the day after the first 3 doses and returned to baseline prior to subsequent doses. Serum levels of cytokines (IFN-?, TNFa, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1RA) and chemokines (CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, hepatocyte growth factor, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) were increased during the first three doses of KIMMTRAK with peak levels between 8 to 24 hours after treatment with KIMMTRAK and levels returned to baseline prior to subsequent doses.
In subsequent treatment cycles, cytokine elevation occurred in fewer patients with lesser intensity compared to the first 3 doses.
The exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of KIMMTRAK have not been fully characterized.
3 Pharmacokinetics- After a single dose administration, tebentafusp-tebn Cmax and AUC0-7d increased in an approximately dose proportional manner from 20 to 68 mg (0.3 to 1 times the approved recommended dose)
Following administration of the approved recommended dosage in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma, the steady-state geometric mean (% CV) Cmax of tebentafusp-tebn is 13 ng/mL (34.6%) and AUC0-7d is 4.6 ng.day/mL (23%) with no accumulation.
Distribution- Tebentafusp-tebn geometric mean (% CV) steady-state volume of distribution is 7.56 L (24%).
Elimination- The geometric mean clearance of tebentafusp-tebn is 16.4 L/d (CV: 24.5%) and median terminal half-life is 7.5 hours (range: 6.8-7.5 hours). Metabolism Tebentafusp-tebn is expected to be catabolized into small peptides and amino acids.
Specific Populations- No clinically significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of tebentafusp-tebn were identified based on weight (43 to 163 kg), sex (48% female), age (23 to 91 years), or mild to moderate renal impairment based on creatinine clearance (CLcr) estimated by C-G formula (CLcr 30 to 89 mL/min) or mild hepatic impairment as measured by total bilirubin (TB) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (TB = upper limit of normal (ULN) and AST > ULN or TB > 1 to 1.5x ULN and any AST).
Tebentafusp-tebn has not been studied in patients with severe (CLcr < 30 mL/min) renal impairment or in patients with moderate (TB >1.5 to 3x ULN, any AST) to severe (TB > 3 to 10x ULN, any AST) hepatic impairment.
Immunogenicity- Median titer in the ADA-positive subgroup was 8192 across the 67 treatment cycles. The exposure (AUC0-7 days) of tebentafusp-tebn decreased by 97% and terminal half-life decreased to 10-14 minutes in patients with ADA titers greater than 8192
Drug Interaction Elevation of certain proinflammatory cytokines may suppress CYP450 enzyme activities.
Pregnancy and lactation:
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
1. Pregnancy Risk Summary- Based on the mechanism of action, KIMMTRAK may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
There are no available data with KIMMTRAK in pregnant woman. No animal reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have been conducted with KIMMTRAK. Molecules of similar molecular weight can cross the placenta resulting in fetal exposure
Advise women of the potential risk to the fetus.
In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.
2. Lactation- Risk Summary- There are no data on the presence of tebentafusp-tebn in human milk, the effect on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.
Because tebentafusp-tebn may be excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in a breastfed child, advise patients not to breastfeed during treatment with KIMMTRAK and for at least 1 week after the last dose.
3. Females and Males of Reproductive Potential- KIMMTRAK may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman
Pregnancy Testing - Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating KIMMTRAK treatment.
Contraception Females - Advise female of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 week following the last dose of KIMMTRAK
4. Pediatric Use- Safety and efficacy of KIMMTRAK have not been established in pediatric patients.
5. Geriatric Use - Of the 245 patients with metastatic uveal melanoma treated with KIMMTRAK on IMCgp100-202, 47% were 65 years of age and older and 9% were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between patients = 65 years of age compared to younger adult patients.
