Over the past decade, the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-signaling pathway has gained substantial interest as potential therapeutic target in oncology. Xentuzumab, a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody, binds to IGF-I and IGF-II thereby inhibiting the downstream signaling essential for survival and tumor growth. This pathway is further regulated by circulating IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs). In this work, a mechanistic model characterizing the dynamics and interactions of IGFs, IGFBPs, and Xentuzumab has been developed to guide dose selection. Therefore, in vitro and in vivo literature information was combined with temporal IGF-I, IGF-II, and IGFBP-3 total plasma concentrations from two phase I studies. Based on the established quantitative framework, the time-course of free IGFs as ultimate drug targets not measured in clinics was predicted. Finally, a dose of 1000 mg/week-predicted to reduce free IGF-I and free IGF-II at steady-state by at least 90% and 64%, respectively-was suggested for phase II.
在过去的十年中,胰岛素样生长因子 (IGF)-信号通路作为肿瘤学中的潜在治疗靶点引起了广泛关注。Xentuzumab 是一种人源化 IgG1 单克隆抗体,可与 IGF-I 和 IGF-II 结合,从而抑制对生存和肿瘤生长至关重要的下游信号传导。该途径还受到循环 IGF 结合蛋白 (IGFBPs) 的调节。在这项工作中,开发了一种机械模型来描述 IGFs、IGFBPs 和 Xentuzumab 的动力学和相互作用,以指导剂量选择。因此,将体外和体内文献信息与两项 I 期研究中总 IGF-I、IGF-II 和 IGFBP-3 的时间相关血浆浓度相结合。基于建立的定量框架,预测了作为临床未测量的最终药物靶标的游离 IGFs 的时程。最后,建议在 II 期研究中使用 1000mg/周的剂量,以分别将稳态时游离 IGF-I 和游离 IGF-II 降低至少 90%和 64%。
