Experimental Procedure:

Background:Tovetumab (MEDI-575) is a fully human IgG2κ monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) and blocks receptor signal transduction by PDGF ligands. The affinity of tovetumab determined using surface plasmon resonance technology and flow cytometry demonstrated comparable binding affinity for human and monkey PDGFRα. In single and repeat-dose monkey pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) studies, tovetumab administration resulted in dose-dependent elevation of circulating levels of PDGF-AA, a member of the PDGF ligand family, due to displacement of PDGF-AA from PDGFRα by tovetumab and subsequent blockade of PDGFRα-mediated PDGF-AA degradation. As such, PDGF-AA accumulation is an indirect measurement of receptor occupancy and is a novel PD biomarker for tovetumab. The nonlinear PK of tovetumab and dose-dependent increase in circulating PDGF-AA profiles were well described by a novel mechanistic model, in which tovetumab and PDGF-AA compete for the binding to PDGFRα.
