The tissue factor (TF)-dependent extrinsic pathway has been suggested to be a central mechanism by which the coagulation cascade is locally activated in the lungs of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) and thus represents an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. This study was designed to determine the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of ALT-836, an anti-TF antibody, in patients with ALI/ARDS.
This was a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase I clinical trial in adult patients who had suspected or proven infection, were receiving mechanical ventilation and had ALI/ARDS (PaO(2)/FiO(2) ≤ 300 mm). Eighteen patients (6 per cohort) were randomized in a 5:1 ratio to receive ALT-836 or placebo, and were treated within 48 hours after meeting screening criteria. Cohorts of patients were administered a single intravenously dose of 0.06, 0.08 or 0.1 mg/kg ALT-836 or placebo. Blood samples were taken for pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity measurements. Safety was assessed by adverse events, vital signs, ECGs, laboratory, coagulation and pulmonary function parameters.
Pharmacokinetic analysis showed a dose dependent exposure to ALT-836 across the infusion range of 0.06 to 0.1 mg/kg. No anti-ALT-836 antibody response was observed in the study population during the trial. No major bleeding episodes were reported in the ALT-836 treated patients. The most frequent adverse events were anemia, observed in both placebo and ALT-836 treated patients, and ALT-836 dose dependent, self-resolved hematuria, which suggested 0.08 mg/kg as an acceptable dose level of ALT-836 in this patient population.
Overall, this study showed that ALT-836 could be safely administered to patients with sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS.

组织因子(TF)依赖性外源性途径已被认为是急性肺损伤和急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ALI/ARDS)患者肺部凝血级联局部激活的核心机制,因此代表了治疗干预的有吸引力的靶点。本研究旨在确定抗 TF 抗体 ALT-836 在 ALI/ARDS 患者中的药代动力学和安全性特征。
这是一项前瞻性、随机、安慰剂对照、剂量递增的 I 期临床试验,纳入疑似或确诊感染、接受机械通气且患有 ALI/ARDS(PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300mmHg)的成年患者。18 名患者(每组 6 名)按 5:1 的比例随机分为接受 ALT-836 或安慰剂组,并在符合筛选标准后 48 小时内接受治疗。患者队列单次静脉注射 0.06、0.08 或 0.1mg/kg 的 ALT-836 或安慰剂。采集血样进行药代动力学和免疫原性测定。安全性通过不良事件、生命体征、心电图、实验室、凝血和肺功能参数评估。
药代动力学分析显示,在 0.06 至 0.1mg/kg 的输注范围内,ALT-836 的暴露呈剂量依赖性。在研究期间,研究人群中未观察到抗 ALT-836 抗体反应。接受 ALT-836 治疗的患者未报告重大出血事件。最常见的不良事件是贫血,在安慰剂和 ALT-836 治疗患者中均观察到,且与 ALT-836 剂量相关,为自限性血尿,提示 0.08mg/kg 为该患者人群中 ALT-836 的可接受剂量水平。
总体而言,本研究表明 ALT-836 可安全用于脓毒症诱导的 ALI/ARDS 患者。
