A double-blind, randomized, two-arm, single-dose, parallel-group study in healthy participants to compare the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of FKS518 proposed biosimilar to denosumab with the originator (LUMIADE-1 study).

e15097 Background: Denosumab is a RANKL inhibitor used in patients with bone metastases from solid tumors. FKS518 is a proposed biosimilar to denosumab originator product. Biosimilars offer similar efficacy, quality, safety, and favorable economic impact. Once the analytical and functional similarity of a biosimilar has been shown, a comparative human pharmacokinetics (PK) study is conducted to demonstrate that there are no clinically meaningful differences between the biosimilar and the reference product. The present study assessed the PK equivalence of FKS518 to the originator product and provided data on the similarity of the pharmacodynamic, safety and immunogenicity profiles. Methods: A randomized, controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study in healthy volunteers was performed to compare denosumab biosimilar candidate FKS518 versus the originator product. Subjects received a single subcutaneous denosumab 60 mg injection and were followed up for 40 weeks. Primary endpoints PK parameters (Cmax, AUC0-last and AUC0-inf) were natural log transformed and analyzed using analysis of covariance methods; results were then transformed back to the original scale. Safety data were collected throughout the study and analyzed descriptively. Results: 213 male subjects 28-55 years of age, with a baseline BMI between 18.2 and 31.7 kg/m2, were randomized to the originator denosumab (n = 106) or FK518 (n = 107). Results of the primary PK analysis demonstrated bioequivalence between FKS518 and the originator denosumab product since the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the geometric least squares mean (LSM) ratios for the 3 primary PK parameters were completely included within the predefined 80.00% to 125.00% equivalence margin (point estimate [90%CI for the ratio]): Cmax: 104.79% [97.04%,113.15%], AUC0-last: 112.29% [104.17%,121.04%] and AUC0-inf : 112.65% [104.27%,121.70%]. Secondary PK parameters were similar as well between FKS518 and the originator: tmax (median: 217.45 hrs. vs. 216.03 hrs. respectively), t1/2 (median: 235 hrs. vs 337 hrs. respectively). The nature, frequency, severity, or resolution of adverse events were comparable across treatments. For immunogenicity, there was no difference between the 2 treatment groups in ADA and Nab incidence at each timepoint. Conclusions: PK equivalence of FKS518 and denosumab originator product was demonstrated with similar PD, safety and immunogenicity profile for the two products. This study adds to the totality of evidence supporting FKS518 as a proposed biosimilar to denosumab.

Impacts of temporal/spatial rainfall heterogeneities on peak runoff distribution and intensities for an urban river basin of south China

AbstractIn this research, a modeling approach of rainfall generator coupled with high resolution rainfall products were proposed to generate designed rainfall events under multiple spatial and temporal distributions, which was then employed to analyze the impacts of spatial and temporal rainfall heterogeneities on peak runoff for watersheds. Three scenarios were developed under multiple degrees of impermeable underlying surface areas within an urban watershed in south China. Detailed runoff processes were analyzed through the adoption of a distributed hydrological model (GSSHA). A covariance analysis method combined with rainfall spatio‐temporal heterogeneity characteristic were used to quantify heterogeneity effects on peak runoff. Results indicated that coupling short period (2008–2016) remotely rainfall data and RainyDay results could successfully reproduce designed rainfall events, spatio‐temporal heterogeneity of rainfall contributed significantly to the peak runoff, which was greater than those by rainfall duration and capacity, and the increase in impermeable underlying surface enhanced the complexities of the effects. Over each rainfall duration with increasing rainfall return period, the indicator of rainfall peak coefficient (RWD) would decrease and then increase. Regarding the total rainfall center (tg), 25 mm/h threshold rainfall spatial coverage (A25) decreased with increasing imperviousness, 1‐h maximum rainfall (Rmax) surged with increasing imperviousness at rainfall duration of 2 and 24 h. Innovations of this research lied in: combination of a rainfall generator model based on a stochastic storm transposition technique and remote‐sensing rainfall data to generate designed rainfall events, a rainfall spatial and temporal heterogeneities index system was developed to reveal how the changing characteristics of rainfall distribution and the impacts on peak runoff, and in‐depth analysis of the impacts on runoff peak under multiple urban development scenarios for increasing capability in flood control/prevention.

Probabilistic analysis of tunnel face seismic stability in layered rock masses using Polynomial Chaos Kriging metamodel

Face stability is an essential issue in tunnel design and construction. Layered rock masses are typical and ubiquitous; uncertainties in rock properties always exist. In view of this, a comprehensive method, which combines the Upper bound Limit analysis of Tunnel face stability, the Polynomial Chaos Kriging, the Monte-Carlo Simulation and Analysis of Covariance method (ULT-PCK-MA), is proposed to investigate the seismic stability of tunnel faces. A two-dimensional analytical model of ULT is developed to evaluate the virtual support force based on the upper bound limit analysis. An efficient probabilistic analysis method PCK-MA based on the adaptive Polynomial Chaos Kriging metamodel is then implemented to investigate the parameter uncertainty effects. Ten input parameters, including geological strength indices, uniaxial compressive strengths and constants for three rock formations, and the horizontal seismic coefficients, are treated as random variables. The effects of these parameter uncertainties on the failure probability and sensitivity indices are discussed. In addition, the effects of weak layer position, the middle layer thickness and quality, the tunnel diameter, the parameters correlation, and the seismic loadings are investigated, respectively. The results show that the layer distributions significantly influence the tunnel face probabilistic stability, particularly when the weak rock is present in the bottom layer. The efficiency of the proposed ULT-PCK-MA is validated, which is expected to facilitate the engineering design and construction.

Application of covariance analysis method in design of modulated inertial navigation systems

Error analysis of inertial navigation systems is one of the important tasks in inertial navigation research. Through error analysis, the contribution of each error in the system to the total error can be obtained. This work is particularly important in the rotary modulation inertial navigation system, because it is necessary to evaluate the suppression effect of the rotation strategy on various error sources through error analysis. Firstly, a state space model of the error has been established based on the system error model, and the total navigation error is divided into linear combinations of various error factors through recursion and decomposition. The derived covariance update equation can be used to quickly and accurately obtain the contribution of various errors including initial error and device error to the total system error. Simulation results of strapdown, single-axis and two-axis modulation systems verifies that the error propagation rules calculated by the proposed method are in agreement with the known conclusions. Simulation of different modulation strategies shows that the proposed method is fast and intuitive in evaluating rotation strategies.

Could Vulnerability to Motion Sickness and Chronic Pain Coexist within a Sensorimotor Phenotype? Insights from over 500 Pre-Pain Motion Sickness Reports.

The sensorimotor incongruence theory proposes that certain instances of pain result from conflicts in the brain's sensorimotor networks. Indeed, injuries may cause abnormalities in afferent and cortical signaling resulting in such conflicts. Motion sickness also occurs in instances of incongruent sensorimotor data. It is possible that a sensory processing phenotype exists that predisposes people to both conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether participants with chronic pain recall greater susceptibility to motion sickness before chronic pain onset. Data were collected via an online LimeSurvey. A self-report tendency toward motion sickness was measured using the Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire. Group differences were analysed using analysis of covariance methods. 530 patients (low back pain, n = 198; neck pain, n = 59; whiplash-associated disorder, n = 72; fibromyalgia syndrome, n = 114; Migraine, n = 41) and 165 pain-free controls were surveyed. ANCOVA analysis, using sex and anxiety as covariates, suggested that childhood motion sickness susceptibility scores differed by group (F = 2.55 (6, 615), p = 0.019, (ηp2) = 0.024). Planned comparisons, with corrected p-values, suggested that childhood motion sickness was not statistically greater for low back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, neck pain or whiplash-associated disorder (ps > 0.05), although scores were on average 27%, 42%, 47%, 48% and 58% higher, respectively. Childhood susceptibility was statistically higher in people with FMS (p = 0.018), with scores on average 83% higher than controls. ANCOVA analysis, using sex and anxiety as covariates, suggested that adult motion sickness susceptibility scores did not differ by group (F = 1.86 (6, 613), p = 0.086), although average scores were, on average, at least 33% higher in persistent pain groups. According to retrospective reporting, greater susceptibility to motion sickness appears to pre-date persistent pain in some conditions. This supports the possibility that motion sickness and chronic pain may, in some cases, have overlapping mechanisms related to the handling of incongruent sensorimotor data.

Study on Attitude Deviation of Spacecraft Subjected to Random Disturbance Torque based on Covariance Analysis

The attitude stability requirements of spacecraft are closely related to their application scenarios. Spacecraft’s motion will always be affected by internal and external disturbances during its orbital movement, which makes the attitude no longer meet the stability requirements of the mission design convention. This paper focuses on the study of the effect of random disturbance torques on the spacecraft attitude. The basic covariance method is proposed to study the influence of random disturbance torques on the spacecraft attitude. The simulation results show that the method of covariance analysis can be applied to study the attitude deviation of spacecraft due to random disturbances.
