    L.04.A.A.25   Ekulizumab

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Eculizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody - kappa-immunoglobulin (IgG2 / 4k), which binds to the human complement protein C5 and suppresses the activation of complement-mediated cell lysis. The antibody consists of human immunoglobulin constant regions and complementarily deterministic mouse immunoglobulin regions embedded in the light and heavy chain variable regions of the human antibody. The composition of ekulizumab includes two heavy chains, 448 amino acids each, and two light chains, each having 214 amino acids. The molecular weight is 147870 Da.

    Euculizumab is produced in cell line culture NS0 myeloma of the mouse and purified by affinity and ion exchange chromatography. In the process of production of the substance, specific inactivation and virus removal processes are also included.

    Ekulizumab inhibits the activity of human complement terminal complex, having a high affinity for its C5 component. As a consequence, the splitting of the component C5 into C5a and C5b and the formation of the terminal complex of complement C5b-9. Thus, ekulizumab restores regulation of complement activity in the blood and prevents intravascular hemolysis in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), but also prevents excessive terminal complex activity in patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (Agus) where the cause of the disease is genetically determined dysregulation of the complement system. FROM other hand, the terminal complex of complement deficiency associated with increased incidence of infections by microorganisms encapsulated mainly meningococcal infection. Wherein ekulizumab supports the content of early complement activation products necessary for opsonization of microorganisms and excretion of immune complexes.

    Appointment of patients with the drug Soliris® is accompanied by a rapid and stable decrease in the activity of the terminal complement complex. In the majority of APG patients, the concentration of euculizumab in the blood plasma is about 35 μg / ml sufficient for complete inhibition intravascular hemolysis, induced by activation of the terminal complement complex.

    Patients with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) chronic uncontrolled activation of the complement, which, in turn, induces the development of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), is also blocked during treatment with Soliris®. All patients who received the preparation of Soliris® at the recommended doses had a rapid and stable decrease in the activity of the terminal complement complex. In all patients with AChS, the concentration of euculizumab in blood plasma of about 50-100 μg / ml is sufficient for the almost complete inhibition of the activation of the terminal complement complex.

    The results of the experimental studies did not show the presence of cross reactivity, as well as signs of reproductive toxicity. The genotoxicity of ekulizumab, its carcinogenic potential and the effect on fertility in animals have not been studied.

    Clinical efficacy and safety

    Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria The effectiveness and safety of the preparation Soliris® (Triumph, 87 patients), a 52-week open non-randomized study (Shepherd, 97 patients), as well as an open, expanded study, in which patients were included in the study, were assessed in patients with APG and hemolysis symptoms during a double-blind, placebo-controlled 26-week study of the first two studies and 11 patients from the Phase 2 study.

    Patients receiving the preparation of Soliris ® showed a significant stable decrease (by 86%, p <0.001) of intravascular hemolysis, assessed by the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). As a consequence, the severity of anemia decreased, which was confirmed by the stabilization of the need for blood transfusions. Patients noted a decrease in weakness and improved quality of life. There was a decrease in the frequency of thromboembolic complications.

    The efficacy and safety of Soliris was evaluated in the pediatric population of APG patients (study M07-005). Seven patients aged 11 to 17 years received Soliris for 12 weeks. Treatment with Soliris in accordance with the recommended dosing regimen was accompanied by a decrease in intravascular hemolysis, measured by the LDH level. There was also a significant reduction in the number or total elimination of blood transfusions, an improvement in the overall condition of patients. The efficacy of eculizumab in this study was comparable to that obtained with the study of echulizumab in adult patients (TRIUMPH C04-001 and SHEPHERD C04-002).

    Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome

    The efficacy and safety of Soliris® was studied in prospective clinical trials in adult and pediatric populations with a total of 100 patients. The studies involved groups: patients with recent diagnosed aguas and signs of TMA (thrombocytopenia below 150,000 / μL, LDH and creatinine above the upper limit of the norm), as well as patients with a long-lasting AGU without obvious hematologic manifestations of TMA.

    After initiation of therapy with Soliris®, a decrease in the activity of the terminal complement complex was achieved in all patients. Normalization of the platelet count was also observed (according to two studies - in 82% and 90% of patients, respectively), which lasted for two years (88% and 90% of patients, respectively). The therapy resulted in the inhibition of complement-mediated TMA and the absence of symptoms of TMA (in 80% and 88% of patients, respectively) that persisted for two years: 88% and 95% of patients, respectively [95%].

    During therapy with Soliris®, there was a significant improvement in renal function, assessed by the level of the calculated glomerular filtration rate (rSCF): improvement of rSCP> 15 mL / min / 1.73 m2 was observed in both studies in 4% and 53% of patients, respectively, and persisted in for two years in 59% and 40% of patients, respectively. Normalization of hematological parameters reached 76% and 90% of patients, respectively, in both studies with a positive dynamics for two years in 88% and 90% of patients, respectively [95% CI].

    Pharmacokinetics:

    Metabolism

    Human antibodies under the action of lysosomal enzymes in the cells of the reticuloendothelial system are cleaved to small peptides and amino acids.

    Excretion

    No special studies have been conducted to evaluate the ways of excretion of ekulizumab. Because of the large molecular weight (148 kD) ekulizumab Not excreted unchanged in the urine. The average clearance is 0.31 ± 0.12 ml / h / kg, the average volume of distribution is 110.3 ± 17.9 ml / kg, and the average half-life is 11.3 ± 3.4 days. Based on these data, the equilibrium state is reached after 49-56 days.

    The pharmacodynamic activity of ekulizumab was directly proportional to its concentration in the plasma. While maintaining the concentration of ekulizumab in the blood plasma> 35 mcg / ml, in most patients almost complete blockage of hemolytic activity was noted.

    In the study M07-005, the parameters of the pharmacokinetics of ekulizumab in the pediatric population of patients with APG were evaluated. In seven patients aged 11 to 17 years, with the recommended dosage regimen as a function of weight, the lowest clearance of eukulizumab was 0.0105 l / h.

    The dependence of the pharmacokinetics of Soliris® on sex, race, functional activity of the liver or kidneys has not been studied.

    Indications:

    Soliris® is indicated for the treatment of patients with:

    - Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (APG)

    Additional Information

    Among the side effects recorded during all clinical studies in patients with APG or AGU, the most severe was meningococcal septicemia.

    Antibodies to Soliris® were determined in 2% of patients with APG and in 3% of patients with AGU treated with the drug.

    An increase in the immunogenicity of the body is characteristic of all protein preparations.

    Hemolysis cases were noted during the miss or delay in the introduction of a regular dose of Soliris® in patients with APG.

    Clinical manifestations of thrombotic microangiopathy were noted on admission

    or delayed introduction of a regular dose of Soliris® in patients with ASUS.

    Children

    A generalized analysis of safety data did not reveal differences in the safety profile in children aged 11-18 years and in adult APG patients. Children most often had a headache. According to studies in children aged 2 months to 18 years, the safety profile does not differ from that in adult patients with ASUS.

    Patients with other diseases

    Safety data from other clinical trials

    A generalized analysis of data from all clinical studies performed with the Soliris® preparation (11 studies, 716 patients) with 6 other nosological forms than APG and AGU revealed 1 case of meningococcal meningitis in an unvaccinated patient with idiopathic membranous glomerulonephropathy.

    For other AEs, analysis of data from all double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in patients without APG (526 patients receiving Soliris®, 221 patients received a placebo), with a frequency of 2% or more than in the placebo group, revealed the following AEs: infections upper respiratory tract, rash and injury.

    Overdose:

    Cases of an overdose of eculisumab are unknown.

    Interaction:

    Pharmaceutical

    The preparation of Soliris® can be mixed only with 0.9% sodium chloride solution, 0.45% sodium chloride solution or 5% dextrose (glucose) solution for injection
    Special instructions:

    The use of Soliris® should be performed under the supervision of a physician.

    Do not inject intravenously! Soliris® does not affect the aplastic component of anemia in patients with APG.

    Women of childbearing age Women of reproductive age should use reliable contraceptive methods during treatment with Soliris® and within 5 months after its completion.

    Meningococcal infection: the mechanism of action of the drug Soliris® involves an increased risk of developing meningococcal infection (Neisseria meningitidis) against its background. As pathogenic, any serotypes, including atypical ones, for example Y, W135 and X can be considered. In order to reduce the likelihood of infection, all patients should be vaccinated against meningococcus 2 weeks prior to use of the Soliris® preparation. Patients with ASUS who received Soliris® treatment earlier than 2 weeks after vaccination against meningococcal infection should receive appropriate prophylactic antibiotic therapy within 2 weeks after vaccination. All patients should also be revaccinated according to the existing standards in the Russian Federation. Most preferred is a conjugated tetravalent vaccine against serotypes A, C, Y and W135. In some cases, vaccination does not have a sufficient protective effect.When choosing an antibacterial drug for the treatment of this complication, it is necessary to strictly follow the official recommendations.

    All patients should be informed of the early symptoms of meningococcal infection and the need to seek medical help immediately.

    Other Systemic Infections The mechanism of action of the Soliris® drug also suggests the possibility of activating a latent infection, although clinical studies have not revealed differences in incidence, severity, or location of infections in patients receiving Soliris® and placebo.

    Nevertheless, patients should be warned about the possibility of activating the infection against the background of treatment with Soliris® and its possible symptoms.

    Infusion reactions

    Intravenous administration of the preparation Soliris®, as well as the introduction of other protein preparations, may be accompanied by hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. Despite the lack of clinical data on the development of such reactions in the treatment with the preparation Soliris 8 ', in the case of a severe infusion reaction, the drug should be discontinued and symptomatic therapy should be prescribed.

    Immunogenicity

    A low antibody titer was detected in patients treated with Soliris® (3.4%) and placebo (4.8%). In patients with ASUS who received Soliris ®, the appearance of antibodies to Soliris was reported in 3 cases out of 100 (3%).

    In 1 case, out of 100 (1%) patients with AGU registered the appearance of neutralizing antibodies. No correlation was found between the antibody titer and the clinical efficacy of the drug or its side effect.

    Immunization

    Before starting therapy with Soliris®, all patients with APG and AGU should undergo a full vaccination in accordance with the National Vaccination Pro- gramme. In addition, at least 2 weeks before the start of treatment with Soliris®, all patients must necessarily be given a meningococcal vaccine, preferably tetravalent conjugate.

    Patients who received Soliris® treatment earlier than 2 weeks after vaccination against meningococcal infection should receive appropriate prophylactic antibiotic therapy within 2 weeks after vaccination. Patients younger than 18 years of age should also be vaccinated against hemophilic rods and pneumococci in strict accordance with the national vaccination calendar.

    Anticoagulant therapy

    Recommendations for anticoagulant therapy should not be changed in connection with the appointment of Soliris®.

    Laboratory control in the treatment of APG

    In patients with APG on the background of treatment with Soliris ® to control the expression of intravascular hemolysis, it is necessary to determine the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in the blood serum. If it is necessary to correct the dose during the period of maintenance therapy, the frequency of administration of the drug, determined within 14 ± 2 days, can be increased up to 1 time every 12 days.

    Laboratory control in the treatment of ASUS

    In patients with AGU on the background of treatment with Soliris®, TMA should be monitored by regular monitoring of platelet count, lactate dehydrogenase activity and serum creatinine. If it is necessary to correct the dose during the period of maintenance therapy, the frequency of administration of the drug, determined by 14 ± 2 days, can be increased up to 1 time every 12 days.

    Discontinuation of treatment of APG patients Patients for whom Soliris® therapy has been discontinued should be under medical supervision to ensure control of intravascular hemolysis.Signs of severe hemolysis are: LDH activity in the serum is higher than before the initiation of therapy with Soliris®, in combination with one of the following indicators: a decrease of more than 25% in the APG cell population (in the absence of the dilution effect in case of blood transfusion) for 1 week or before; the concentration of hemoglobin is less than 50 g / l or its decrease by more than 40 g / l for 1 week or earlier; the appearance of angina pectoris or an increase in its severity; mental disorders; an increase in the concentration of creatinine in the blood by 50% or thrombosis. The duration of follow-up of patients after discontinuation of Soliris® should be at least 8 weeks.

    In case of signs of severe hemolysis after discontinuation of treatment with Soliris®, it is recommended to appoint blood transfusion (erythrocyte mass) or exchange blood transfusion if, according to flow cytometry, the population of APG cells is> 50% of the total number of erythrocytes; and also to prescribe anticoagulants, corticosteroids or to resume therapy with Soliris®. Data from observations of 16 patients with APG, whose therapy with Soliris® was discontinued, did not reveal an increase in intravascular hemolysis intensity.

    Discontinuation of treatment of patients with ASUS In the course of the clinical study of the preparation of Soliris®, the development of severe complications of thrombotic microangiopathy in patients with ASUS was observed after the abolition of therapy. Patients with ASUS who have been discontinued with Soliris® should be under medical supervision to monitor the signs and symptoms of severe complications of thrombotic microangiopathy.

    Signs of severe complications of TMA after the discontinuation of Soliris® are: (1) any two or repeated detectable changes in one of the following: a decrease in the number of platelets by 25% and lower than the baseline value or the maximum platelet count during treatment with Soliris®; an increase in the serum creatinine concentration by 25% or more, as compared with the baseline or minimum level during therapy with Soliris®; or an increase in serum LDH activity of 25% or more, as compared with the baseline value or the minimum value during therapy with Soliris®; or (2) any of the following symptoms: a change in the psyche or seizures; angina or shortness of breath; thrombosis.

    The duration of follow-up after the discontinuation of Soliris® for the detection of severe complications of TMA should be at least 12 weeks.

    In case of severe complications of TMA after discontinuation of treatment with Soliris®, it is recommended to resume Soliris® therapy, prescribe maintenance treatment with plasmapheresis or exchange plasma transfusions or appropriate specific maintenance therapy, including hemodialysis, pulmonary ventilation or anticoagulant therapy. In the course of clinical studies of the preparation Soliris®, 18 patients with ASUS were abolished by Soliris (in 5 patients in prospective studies) .After passing the next dose of the drug, seven severe complications of TMA developed in five patients, and in 4 of these 5 patients, Soliris ® was resumed.

    Training materials All physicians who plan to prescribe Soliris® should read the "Physician's Guide for the use of the Soliris® drug". It is necessary to instruct patients that if the body temperature rises above 39 ° C,the development of a headache in combination with fever and / or a feeling of "stiffness" of the neck or photophobia, they should immediately seek medical help, as this may be signs of a meningococcal infection.
