mepolizumab在嗜酸性粒细胞表型的重症哮喘患儿中的长期安全性和药效学
2019/09/09
背景:Mepolizumab被批准用于年龄≥12(美国)或≥6(欧盟)岁的嗜酸性粒细胞表型的重症哮喘患者,但尚未评估其在6-11岁儿童中的长期使用。本文旨在评估mepolizumab对6-11岁嗜酸性粒细胞表型的重症哮喘患儿的长期安全性,有效性和药效学。
方法:在这项开放标签、非对照及重复剂量延伸研究(NCT02377427)中,6-11岁嗜酸性粒细胞表型重症哮喘患儿(筛查时血液嗜酸性粒细胞计数≥150细胞/μL或前一年≥300细胞/μL) 在52周内接受体重依赖剂量的皮下注射mepolizumab 40 mg(<40 kg)或100 mg(≥40kg)。 终点包括不良事件(AEs)和免疫原性(主要结局),绝对血液嗜酸性粒细胞计数(细胞/μL)(次要结局)和年化恶化率和哮喘控制问卷/儿童哮喘控制测试分数(探索性结局)的发生率。
结果:52周内,30名儿童接受了mepolizumab,27名(90%)和7名(23%)分别出现治疗中的AEs和严重的AEs。 没有与治疗有关的SAEs,没有致命的AEs,没有明显的特定AEs模式,也没有报道抗药物抗体或中和抗体反应。 与基线值相比,mepolizumab治疗减少了血液嗜酸性粒细胞计数和哮喘急性发作,并改善了所有治疗组的哮喘控制。
结论:该研究的长期安全性、药效学和有效性数据支持mepolizumab在嗜酸性粒细胞表型重症哮喘患儿中的正效益风险特征,并且与成人和青少年研究中的数据相似。

Abstract
BACKGROUND:Mepolizumab is approved for patients with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype aged ≥12 (US) or ≥6 (EU) years, but its long-term use in children aged 6-11 years has not yet been assessed. To assess the long-term safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of mepolizumab in children aged 6-11 years with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype.
METHODS:In this open-label, uncontrolled, repeat-dose extension study (NCT02377427), children aged 6-11 years with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype (blood eosinophil counts ≥150 cells/μL at screening or ≥300 cells/μL in the previous year) received a body weight-dependent dose of subcutaneous mepolizumab 40 mg (<40 kg) or 100 mg (≥40 kg) over 52 weeks. Endpoints included the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and immunogenicity (primary), absolute blood eosinophil count (cells/μL) (secondary) and annualized exacerbation rates and asthma control questionnaire/childhood asthma control test scores (exploratory).
RESULTS:Over 52 weeks, thirty children received mepolizumab; 27 (90%) and 7 (23%) experienced on-treatment AEs and serious AEs, respectively. No SAEs were treatment-related. There were no fatal AEs. No specific patterns of AEs were evident, and no anti-drug antibody or neutralizing antibody responses were reported. Compared with baseline values, mepolizumab treatment reduced blood eosinophil counts and asthma exacerbations, and improved asthma control across all treatment groups.
CONCLUSIONS:The long-term safety, pharmacodynamic and efficacy data from this study support a positive benefit-risk profile for mepolizumab in children with severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype and were similar to data in studies in adults and adolescents.
