Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of PF-06817024 in Healthy Participants, Participants with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps, and Participants with Atopic Dermatitis: A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study.

Abstract

PF-06817024 is a high affinity, humanized antibody that binds interleukin-33, a proinflammatory type 2 cytokine, and thereby has the potential to inhibit downstream type 2 inflammation. This Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 3 parts to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics of escalating single and limited repeat PF-06817024 doses in healthy participants (Part 1), a single dose of PF-06817024 in participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (Part 2), and repeat doses of PF-06817024 in participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (atoptic dermatitis; Part 3). PF-06817024 was generally well tolerated in all participant populations. Most participants experienced a treatment-emergent adverse event (healthy participants, 78.4% and 100%; participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, 90.9% and 88.9%; and participants with atoptic dermatitis, 60.0% and 62.5% in the PF-06817024 and placebo groups, respectively). No substantial deviations from dose proportionality were observed for single intravenous doses of 10-1000mg, indicating linear PK in healthy participants. Mean terminal half-life ranged from 83 to 94days after single intravenous administration in healthy participants and was similar to that observed after administration in the studied patient populations. Incidences of antidrug antibodies in the studied populations were 10.8%, 9.1%, and 5.0% for healthy participants, participants with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and participants with atoptic dermatitis, respectively. In addition, dose-dependent increases were observed in total serum interleukin-33 levels of treated participants, indicating target engagement. Overall, the PK and safety profile of PF-06817024 supports further investigation of the drug as a potential treatment for allergic diseases.
