tralokinumab · IL-13
Check my plan vs. these
Immune & cytokine safety
No significant modulation of CD4/CD8 T cells, NK cells or mature B cells in 26-week monkey study
“In addition, the 26-week study included an immunophenotyping assessment which indicated that tralokinumab did not significantly modulate any of the immune cell populations investigated which including CD4 and CD8 T cells, NK cells and mature B cells.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 25Source ↗
Biodistribution & persistence
Placental transfer in monkeys, neonate serum levels comparable to or above maternal
“There was clear evidence of placental transfer in both studies with neonate serum levels measured comparable or even in excess of maternal levels.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 27Source ↗
Modality-specific risk
Low circulating IL-13 in naive monkeys may mask pharmacological effects, limiting predictivity
“Whilst there were no apparent tralokinumab related effects in these studies, this could be explained by very low circulating IL-13 levels in naïve monkeys.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 25Source ↗
Anti-drug antibodies: animals
ADA in few monkeys (including controls); not considered to affect exposure
“Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) to tralokinumab were measured and in general were found in few animals, which also included control animals, and were not thought to have affected exposure levels.”
✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 24Source ↗
Anti-drug antibodies: patients
4.6% ADA across all trial periods; 0.9% persistent; 1.0% neutralizing
“Across all trial periods, the ADA incidence for subjects who received ADBRY was 4.6%; 0.9% had persistent ADA and 1.0% had neutralizing antibodies.”
