Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY -
12.1 Mechanism of Action - Teplizumab-mzwv binds to CD3 (a cell surface antigen present on T lymphocytes) and delays the onset of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes in adults and pediatric patients aged 8 years and older with Stage 2 type 1 diabetes. The mechanism may involve partial agonistic signaling and deactivation of pancreatic beta cell autoreactive T lymphocytes. Teplizumab-mzwv leads to an increase in the proportion of regulatory T cells and of exhausted CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics Clinical studies have shown that teplizumab-mzwv binds to CD3 molecules on the surface of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells during treatment, with internalization of the teplizumabmzwv/CD3 complex from the surface of T cells. Pharmacodynamic effects include lymphopenia in the absence of depletion of T cells with a nadir on the 5th day of dosing, during a 14-day course of TZIELD treatment [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]. Teplizumab-mzwv exposure-response relationship and time course of pharmacodynamic response for the safety and effectiveness of teplizumab-mzwv have not been fully characterized.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics Steady state concentrations of teplizumab-mzwv are not expected to be achieved during the 14- day course of TZIELD.
Distribution The central volume of distribution (Vd) of teplizumab-mzwv was 2.27 L in a 60 kg subject. Reference ID: 5079828
Elimination Teplizumab-mzwv showed saturable binding and elimination. The mean (SD) terminal elimination half-life and clearance of teplizumab-mzwv are 4.5 (0.2) days and 2.7 (0.8) L/day in a 60 kg subject, respectively.
Metabolism Teplizumab-mzwv is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.
Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of teplizumab-mzwv were observed based on age (8 to 35 years old), biologic sex, or racial groups (White, Asians). BSA-based dosing normalizes the exposure to teplizumab-mzwv across body weight.
12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other studies, including those of teplizumab-mzwv or of other teplizumab products. In the placebo-controlled study in patients aged 8 years of age and older with Stage 2 type 1 diabetes (Study TN-10) [see Clinical Studies (14)], approximately 57% of TZIELD-treated patients developed anti-teplizumab-mzwv antibodies, 46% of whom developed neutralizing antibodies.
There is insufficient information to characterize the effects of ADA on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, or effectiveness of TZIELD. There was a higher incidence of rash in TZIELD-treated patients who developed anti-teplizumab-mzwv antibodies compared to those who did not develop anti-teplizumab-mzwv antibodies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility No long-term studies have been performed to assess the carcinogenic potential of teplizumabmzwv. No studies have been performed to assess the mutagenic potential of teplizumab-mzwv. As an antibody, teplizumab-mzwv is not expected to interact directly with DNA. Fertility and repro
Pregnancy and lactation:
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
1 Pregnancy - Risk Summary- Available case reports from clinical trials with TZIELD are insufficient to identify a drugassociated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
Although there are no data on teplizumab-mzwv, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta, and TZIELD may cause immunosuppression in the uteroexposed infant (see Clinical Considerations).
To minimize exposure to a fetus, avoid use of TZIELD during pregnancy and at least 30 days (6 half-lives) prior to planned pregnancy. TZIELD is not active in rodents. In animal reproduction studies, mice were given a surrogate anti-mouse CD3 antibody subcutaneously during organogenesis through lactation. Pups born to dams administered the murine surrogate antibody during pregnancy showed a reduction in the adaptive immune response consistent with the expected pharmacology (see Data).
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2%-4% and 15%-20%, respectively.
Report pregnancies to Provention Bio, Inc.’s Adverse Event reporting line at 1-844-778-2246. Reference ID: 5079828 Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses, and peaks during the third trimester. Because teplizumab-mzwv may interfere with immune response to infections, risks and benefits should be considered prior to administering live vaccines to infants exposed to teplizumab-mzwv in utero. There are insufficient data regarding infant serum levels of teplizumab-mzwv at birth and the duration of persistence of teplizumabmzwv in infant serum after birth to identify a specific timeframe to delay live virus immunizations in infants exposed in utero.
Data Animal Data In an embryo-fetal developmental toxicity study, pregnant mice were administered a murine surrogate anti-mouse CD3 antibody by subcutaneous injection at dose levels of 0, 0.03, 0.3, or 20 mg/kg on Gestation Days 6, 10, and 14. Increase in post-implantation loss occurred in the 20 mg/kg group, in the presence of maternal toxicity. In a pre- and postnatal development toxicity study in pregnant mice, in which the murine surrogate antibody was administered every 3 days from gestation day 6 through lactation day 19 at doses of 0, 0.3, 3, or 20 mg/kg, no maternal toxicity or increased incidence of postimplantation loss was observed. Reductions in T cell populations and increases in B cells, and a reduction in the adaptive immune response to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) were observed in the offspring on postnatal days 35 and 84 at 20 mg/kg. The surrogate antibody was present in the offspring serum at level less than 1.5% that of maternal serum at the high dose. A trend towards reduction in fertility was observed in the offspring of dams administered the murine surrogate antibody at 20 mg/kg. The human relevance of this finding is unknown.
8.2 Lactation Risk Summary- There are no data on the presence of teplizumab-mzwv in either human or animal milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.
Endogenous maternal IgG and monoclonal antibodies are transferred into human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to teplizumab-mzwv are unknown.
Although the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TZIELD and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TZIELD or from the underlying maternal condition, a lactating woman may interrupt breastfeeding and pump and discard breast milk during treatment and for 20 days after TZIELD administration to minimize drug exposure to a breastfed child.
8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of TZIELD to delay the onset of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes have been established in pediatric patients 8 years of age and older with Stage 2 type 1 diabetes. Use of TZIELD for this indication is supported by evidence from an adequate and well-controlled study (Study TN-10) in adults and pediatric patients 8 years of age and older (including 29 pediatric Reference ID: 5079828 patients).
Adverse reactions observed in pediatric patients 8 years of age and older who received TZIELD were consistent with those reported in adult patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The safety and effectiveness of TZIELD have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 8 years of age.
8.5 Geriatric Use Stage 2 type 1 diabetes is largely a condition that occurs in pediatric and younger adult patients. Clinical studies of TZIELD to delay the onset of Stage 3 T1D did not include patients 65 years of age and older.
