Lecanemab is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody that preferentially targets soluble aggregated Aβ species (protofibrils) with activity at amyloid plaques. Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) profiles appear to differ for various anti-amyloid antibodies. Here, we present ARIA data from a large phase 2 lecanemab trial (Study 201) in early Alzheimer's disease.
Study 201 trial was double-blind, placebo-controlled (core) with an open-label extension (OLE). Observed ARIA events were summarized and modeled via Kaplan-Meier graphs. An exposure response model was developed.
In the phase 2 core and OLE, there was a low incidence of ARIA-E (<10%), with <3% symptomatic cases. ARIA-E was generally asymptomatic, mild-to-moderate in severity, and occurred early (<3 months). ARIA-E was correlated with maximum lecanemab serum concentration and incidence was higher in apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) homozygous carriers. ARIA-H and ARIA-E occurred with similar frequency in core and OLE.
Lecanemab can be administered without titration with modest incidence of ARIA.
莱卡奈单抗是一种人源化免疫球蛋白G1(IgG1)单克隆抗体,它优先靶向可溶性聚集的淀粉样蛋白β物种(原纤维),并对淀粉样斑块具有活性。各种抗淀粉样蛋白抗体的淀粉样蛋白相关成像异常(ARIA)特征似乎有所不同。在此,我们展示了一项针对早期阿尔茨海默病的大型2期莱卡奈单抗试验(研究201)的ARIA数据。
研究201试验为双盲、安慰剂对照(核心)试验,并设有开放标签扩展(OLE)。通过Kaplan-Meier图对观察到的ARIA事件进行总结和建模。建立了暴露反应模型。
在2期核心试验和OLE中,ARIA-E的发生率较低(<10%),有症状的病例<3%。ARIA-E通常无症状,严重程度为轻度至中度,且发生较早(<3个月)。ARIA-E与莱卡奈单抗血清最高浓度相关,在载脂蛋白E4(ApoE4)纯合携带者中的发生率更高。ARIA-H和ARIA-E在核心试验和OLE中的发生频率相似。
莱卡奈单抗无需滴定即可给药,ARIA的发生率适中。
