简介: Campath(欧洲商品名:MabCampath)是第一个对烷化剂或福达华治疗无效的患者仍具有显著疗效的药物。根据一项国际II期临床研究结果显示,经其他药物治疗复发或难治的CLL患者用Campath治疗后可使其生存期 ...

2007年9月5日,欧洲药品局人用药品委员会建议批准拜耳和Genzyme公司合作研制的肿瘤药MabCampath(在美国称Campath)作为一线药物治疗慢性B淋巴细胞白血病(B-CLL)。
欧洲药品局人用药品委员会发表肯定意见,赞成MabCampath (alemtuzumab)治疗不适于fludarabine结合化疗的慢性B淋巴细胞白血病患者。该药已获准治疗原先接受烷化剂治疗的及fludarabine治疗无效的此类患者。
人用药品委员会赞成依据来自一项国际开放标签III期临床试验,将MabCampath对原先未经治疗的慢性B淋巴细胞白血病患者的疗效与苯丁酸氮芥(chlorambucil)相比,结果证明,MabCampath显示更高的无恶化存活率,并将疾病恶化或死亡风险降低42%。与苯丁酸氮芥相比,接受MabCampath治疗后,患者显示更高的总体完全应答率,并具有可控制安全范围。患者的无治疗间隔期延长,中间期为2年。
拜耳-先灵制药公司董事会成员Gunnar Riemann表示,人用药品委员会建议批准MabCampath“强调说明MabCampath很有潜力成为慢性B淋巴细胞白血病标准治疗药物”。
目前,已有越来越多的肿瘤专家在早期治疗中选择Campath。
MabCampath 30 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusionAle
1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
MabCampath 30 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusion
2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
One ml contains 30 mg of alemtuzumab.
Each vial contains 30 mg of alemtuzumab.
Alemtuzumab is a genetically engineered humanised IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody specific for a 21-28 kD lymphocyte cell surface glycoprotein (CD52). The antibody is produced in mammalian cell (Chinese Hamster Ovary) suspension culture in a nutrient medium.
For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
Concentrate for solution for infusion.
Colourless to slightly yellow concentrate.
4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
MabCampath is indicated for the treatment of patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) for whom fludarabine combination chemotherapy is not appropriate.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
MabCampath should be administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of cancer therapy.
Posology
During the first week of treatment, MabCampath should be administered in escalating doses: 3 mg on day 1, 10 mg on day 2 and 30 mg on day 3 assuming that each dose is well tolerated. Thereafter, the recommended dose is 30 mg daily administered 3 times weekly on alternate days up to a maximum of 12 weeks.
In most patients, dose escalation to 30 mg can be accomplished in 3-7 days. However, if acute moderate to severe adverse reactions such as hypotension, rigors, fever, shortness of breath, chills, rashes and bronchospasm (some of which may be due to cytokine release) occur at either the 3 mg or 10 mg dose levels, then those doses should be repeated daily until they are well tolerated before further dose escalation is attempted (see section 4.4).
Median duration of treatment was 11.7 weeks for first-line patients and 9.0 weeks for previously treated patients.
Once a patient meets all laboratory and clinical criteria for a complete response, MabCampath should be discontinued and the patient monitored. If a patient improves (i.e. achieves a partial response or stable disease) and then reaches a plateau without further improvement for 4 weeks or more, then MabCampath should be discontinued and the patient monitored. Therapy should be discontinued if there is evidence of disease progression.
Concomitant medicinal products
Premedications
Patients should be premedicated with oral or intravenous steroids, an appropriate antihistamine and analgesic 30-60 minutes prior to each MabCampath infusion during dose escalation and as clinically indicated thereafter (see section 4.4).
Prophylactic antibiotics
Antibiotics and antivirals should be administered routinely to all patients throughout and following treatment (see section 4.4).
Dose modification guidelines
There are no dose modifications recommended for severe lymphopenia given the mechanism of action of MabCampath.
In the event of serious infection or severe haematological toxicity MabCampath should be interrupted until the event resolves. It is recommended that MabCampath should be interrupted in patients whose platelet count falls to < 25,000/μl or whose absolute neutrophil count (ANC) drops to < 250/μl. MabCampath may be reinstituted after the infection or toxicity has resolved. MabCampath should be permanently discontinued if autoimmune anaemia or autoimmune thrombocytopenia appears. The following table outlines the recommended procedure for dose modification following the occurrence of haematological toxicity while on therapy:

Haematologic values

Dose modification*

ANC < 250/μl and/or platelet count LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8804)25,000/μl

For first occurrence

Withhold MabCampath therapy. Resume MabCampath at 30 mg when ANC GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8805) 500/μl and platelet count GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8805) 50,000/μl.

For second occurrence

Withhold MabCampath therapy. Resume MabCampath at 10 mg when ANC GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8805) 500/μl and platelet count GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8805) 50,000/μl.

For third occurrence

Discontinue MabCampath therapy.

GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8805) 50% decrease from baseline in patients initiating therapy with a baseline ANC LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8804) 250/μl and/or a baseline platelet count LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO (8804) 25,000/μl

For first occurrence

Withhold MabCampath therapy. Resume MabCampath at 30 mg upon return to baseline value(s).

For second occurrence

Withhold MabCampath therapy. Resume MabCampath at 10 mg upon return to baseline value(s).

For third occurrence

Discontinue MabCampath therapy.

*If the delay between dosing is  7 days, initiate therapy at MabCampath 3 mg and escalate to 10 mg and then to 30 mg as tolerated
Special populations
Elderly (over 65 years of age)
Recommendations are as stated above for adults. Patients should be monitored carefully (see section 4.4).
Patients with renal or hepatic impairment
No studies have been conducted.
Paediatric population
The safety and efficacy of MabCampath in children aged less than 17 years of age have not been established. No data are available.
Method of administration
The MabCampath solution must be prepared according to the instructions provided in section 6.6. All doses should be administered by intravenous infusion over approximately 2 hours.
4.3 Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to alemtuzumab, to murine proteins or to any of the excipients.
- Active systemic infections.
- HIV.
- Active second malignancies.
- Pregnancy.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Acute adverse reactions, which may occur during initial dose escalation and some of which may be due to the release of cytokines, include hypotension, chills/rigors, fever, shortness of breath and rashes. Additional reactions include nausea, urticaria, vomiting, fatigue, dyspnoea, headache, pruritus, diarrhoea and bronchospasm. The frequency of infusion reactions was highest in the first week of therapy, and declined in the second or third week of treatment, in patients treated with MabCampath both as first line therapy and in previously treated patients.
If these events are moderate to severe, then dosing should continue at the same level prior to each dose escalation, with appropriate premedication, until each dose is well tolerated. If therapy is withheld for more than 7 days, MabCampath should be reinstituted with gradual dose escalation.
Transient hypotension has occurred in patients receiving MabCampath. Caution should be used in treating patients with ischaemic heart disease, angina and/or in patients receiving an antihypertensive medicinal product. Myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest have been observed in association with MabCampath infusion in this patient population.
Assessment and ongoing monitoring of cardiac function (e.g. echocardiography, heart rate and body weight) should be considered in patients previously treated with potentially cardiotoxic agents.
It is recommended that patients be premedicated with oral or intravenous steroids 30 - 60 minutes prior to each MabCampath infusion during dose escalation and as clinically indicated. Steroids may be discontinued as appropriate, once dose escalation has been achieved. In addition, an oral antihistamine, e.g. diphenhydramine 50 mg, and an analgesic, e.g. paracetamol 500 mg, may be given. In the event that acute infusion reactions persist, the infusion time may be extended up to 8 hours from the time of reconstitution of MabCampath in solution for infusion.
Profound lymphocyte depletion, an expected pharmacological effect of MabCampath, inevitably occurs and may be prolonged. CD4 and CD8 T-cell counts begin to rise from weeks 8-12 during treatment and continue to recover for several months following the discontinuation of treatment. In patients receiving MabCampath as first line therapy, the recovery of CD4+ counts to 200 cells/µl occurred by 6 months post-treatment, however, at 2 months post-treatment the median was 183 cells/μl. In previously treated patients receiving MabCampath, the median time to reach a level of 200 cells/μl is 2 months following last infusion with MabCampath but may take more than 12 months to approximate pretreatment levels. This may predispose patients to opportunistic infections. It is highly recommended that anti-infective prophylaxis (e.g. trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 1 tablet twice daily, 3 times weekly, or other prophylaxis against Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (PCP) and an effective oral anti-herpes agent, such as famciclovir, 250 mg twice daily) should be initiated while on therapy and for a minimum of 2 months following completion of treatment with MabCampath or until the CD4+ count has recovered to 200 cells/μl or greater, whichever is the later.
The potential for an increased risk of infection-related complications may exist following treatment with multiple chemotherapeutic or biological agents.
Because of the potential for Transfusion Associated Graft Versus Host Disease (TAGVHD) it is recommended that patients who have been treated with MabCampath receive irradiated blood products.
Asymptomatic laboratory positive Cytomegalovirus (CMV) viraemia should not necessarily be considered a serious infection requiring interruption of therapy. Ongoing clinical assessment should be performed for symptomatic CMV infection during MabCampath treatment and for at least 2 months following completion of treatment.
Transient grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurs very commonly by weeks 5-8 following initiation of treatment. Transient grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia occurs very commonly during the first 2 weeks of therapy and then begins to improve in most patients. Therefore, haematological monitoring of patients is indicated. If a severe haematological toxicity develops, MabCampath treatment should be interrupted until the event resolves. Treatment may be reinstituted following resolution of the haematological toxicity (see section 4.2). MabCampath should be permanently discontinued if autoimmune anaemia or autoimmune thrombocytopenia appears.
Complete blood counts and platelet counts should be obtained at regular intervals during MabCampath therapy and more frequently in patients who develop cytopenias.
It is not proposed that regular and systematic monitoring of CD52 expression should be carried out as routine clinical practice. However, if retreatment is considered, it may be prudent to confirm the presence of CD52 expression. In data available from first line patients treated with MabCampath, loss of CD52 expression was not observed around the time of disease progression or death.
Patients may have allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to MabCampath and to murine or chimeric monoclonal antibodies.
Medicinal products for the treatment of hypersensitivity reactions, as well as preparedness to institute emergency measures in the event of reaction during administration is necessary (see section 4.2).
Males and females of childbearing potential should use effective contraceptive measures during treatment and for 6 months following MabCampath therapy (see sections 4.6 and 5.3).
No studies have been conducted which specifically address the effect of age on MabCampath disposition and toxicity. In general, older patients (over 65 years of age) tolerate cytotoxic therapy less well than younger individuals. Since CLL occurs commonly in this older age group, these patients should be monitored carefully (see section 4.2). In the studies in first line and previously treated patients no substantial differences in safety and efficacy related to age were observed; however the sizes of the databases are limited.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Although no formal drug interaction studies have been performed with MabCampath, there are no known clinically significant interactions of MabCampath with other medicinal products. Because MabCampath is a recombinant humanized protein, a P450 mediated drug-drug interaction would not be expected. However, it is recommended that MabCampath should not be given within 3 weeks of other chemotherapeutic agents.
Although it has not been studied, it is recommended that patients should not receive live viral vaccines in, at least, the 12 months following MabCampath therapy. The ability to generate a primary or anamnestic humoral response to any vaccine has not been studied.
4.6 Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
MabCampath is contraindicated during pregnancy. Human IgG is known to cross the placental barrier; MabCampath may cross the placental barrier as well and thus potentially cause foetal B and T cell lymphocyte depletion. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with MabCampath. It is not known if MabCampath can cause foetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.
Males and females of childbearing capacity should use effective contraceptive measures during treatment and for 6 months following MabCampath therapy (see section 5.3).
Lactation
It is not known whether MabCampath is excreted in human milk. If treatment is needed, breast-feeding should be discontinued during treatment and for at least 4 weeks following MabCampath therapy.
Fertility
There are no definitive studies of MabCampath which assess its impact on fertility. It is not known if MabCampath can affect human reproductive capacity (see section 5.3).
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
No studies on the effects on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed. However, caution should be exercised as confusion and somnolence have been reported.
4.8 Undesirable effects
The tables below report adverse reactions by MedDRA system organ classes (MedDRA SOCs). The frequencies are based on clinical trial data.
The most appropriate MedDRA term is used to describe a certain reaction and its synonyms and related conditions.
The frequencies are defined as: very common ( 1/10), common ( 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon ( 1/1,000 to < 1/100), rare ( 1/10,000 to <1/1,000); very rare (<1/10,000). No information is available for events that occur at lower frequency, due to the size of the population studied; n=147 for first line treated patients and n=149 for previously treated patients.
The most frequent adverse reactions with MabCampath are: infusion reactions (pyrexia, chills, hypotension, urticaria, nausea, rash, tachycardia, dyspnoea), cytopenias (neutropenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, anaemia), infections (CMV viraemia, CMV infection, other infections), gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, emesis, abdominal pain), and neurological symptoms (insomnia, anxiety). The most frequent serious adverse reactions are cytopenias, infusion reactions, and immunosuppression/infections.
Undesirable effects in first line patients
Safety data in first-line B-CLL patients are based on adverse reactions that occurred on study in 147 patients enrolled in a randomized, controlled study of MabCampath as a single agent administered at a dose of 30 mg intravenously three times weekly for up to 12 weeks, inclusive of dose escalation period. Approximately 97% of first-line patients experienced adverse reactions; the most commonly reported reactions in first line patients usually occurred in the first week of therapy.
Within each frequency grouping, undesirable effects observed during treatment or within 30 days following the completion of treatment with MabCampath are presented in order of decreasing seriousness.

Undesirable effects observed during post-marketing surveillance
Infusion reactions: Serious and sometimes fatal reactions, including bronchospasm, hypoxia, syncope, pulmonary infiltrates, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), respiratory arrest, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, acute cardiac insufficiency and cardiac arrest have been observed. Severe anaphylactic and other hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic shock and angioedema, have been reported following MabCampath administration. These symptoms can be ameliorated or avoided if premedication and dose escalation are utilised (see section 4.4).
Infections and infestations: Serious and sometimes fatal viral (e.g. adenovirus, parainfluenza, hepatitis B, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)), bacterial (including tuberculosis and atypical mycobacterioses, nocardiosis), protozoan (e.g. toxoplasma gondii), and fungal (e.g. rhinocerebral mucormycosis) infections, including those due to reactivation of latent infections have occurred during post-marketing surveillance. The recommended anti-infective prophylaxis treatment appears to be effective in reducing the risk of PCP and herpes infections (see section 4.4).
EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disorders, in some cases fatal, have been reported.
Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Severe bleeding reactions have been reported.
Immune system disorders: Serious and sometimes fatal autoimmune phenomena including autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia, aplastic anaemia, Guillain Barré syndrome and its chronic form, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy have been reported. A positive Coombs test has also been observed. Fatal Transfusion Associated Graft Versus Host Disease (TAGVHD) has also been reported.
Metabolism and nutritional disorders: Tumour lysis syndrome with fatal outcome has been reported.
Nervous system disorders: Intracranial haemorrhage has occurred with fatal outcome, in patients with thrombocytopenia.
Cardiac disorders: Congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and decreased ejection fraction have been reported in patients previously treated with potentially cardiotoxic agents.
4.9 Overdose
Patients have received repeated unit doses of up to 240 mg of MabCampath. The frequency of grade 3 or 4 adverse events, such as fever, hypotension and anaemia, may be higher in these patients. There is no known specific antidote for MabCampath. Treatment consists of discontinuation of MabCampath and supportive therapy.
5. PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antineoplastic agents, monoclonal antibodies, ATC code: L01XC04.
Alemtuzumab is a genetically engineered humanised IgG1 kappa monoclonal antibody specific for a 21-28 kD lymphocyte cell surface glycoprotein (CD52) expressed primarily on the surface of normal and malignant peripheral blood B and T cell lymphocytes. Alemtuzumab was generated by the insertion of six complementarity-determining regions from an IgG2a rat monoclonal antibody into a human IgG1 immunoglobulin molecule.
Alemtuzumab causes the lysis of lymphocytes by binding to CD52, a highly expressed, non-modulating antigen which is present on the surface of essentially all B and T cell lymphocytes as well as monocytes, thymocytes and macrophages. The antibody mediates the lysis of lymphocytes via complement fixation and antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity. The antigen has been found on a small percentage (< 5%) of granulocytes, but not on erythrocytes or platelets. Alemtuzumab does not appear to damage haematopoietic stem cells or progenitor cells.
First line B-CLL patients
The safety and efficacy of MabCampath were eva luated in a Phase 3, open-label, randomized comparative trial of first line (previously untreated) Rai stage I-IV B-CLL patients requiring therapy (Study 4). MabCampath was shown to be superior to chlorambucil as measured by the primary endpoint progression free survival (PFS) (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Progression free survival in first line study (by treatment group)


The secondary objectives included complete response (CR) and overall response (CR or partial response) rates using the 1996 NCIWG criteria, the duration of response, time to alternative treatment and safety of the two treatment arms.

Cytogenetic Analyses in first line B-CLL patients:
The cytogenetic profile of B-CLL has been increasingly recognized as providing important prognostic information and may predict response to certain therapies. Of the first-line patients (n=282) in whom baseline cytogenetic (FISH) data were available in Study 4, chromosomal aberrations were detected in 82%, while normal karyotype was detected in 18%. Chromosomal aberrations were categorized according to Döhner's hierarchical model. In first line patients, treated with either MabCampath or chlorambucil, there were 21 patients with the 17p deletion, 54 patients with 11q deletion, 34 patients with trisomy 12, 51 patients with normal karyotype and 67 patients with sole 13q deletion.
ORR was superior in patients with any 11q deletion (87% v 29%; p<0.0001) or sole deletion 13q (91% v 62%; p=0.0087) treated with MabCampath compared to chlorambucil. A trend toward improved ORR was observed in patients with 17p deletion treated with MabCampath (64% v 20%; p=0.0805). Complete remissions were also superior in patients with sole 13q deletion treated with MabCampath (27% v 0%; p=0.0009). Median PFS was superior in patients with sole 13q deletion treated with MabCampath (24.4 v 13.0 months; p=0.0170 stratified by Rai Stage). A trend towards improved PFS was observed in patients with 17p deletion, trisomy 12 and normal karyotype, which did not reach significance due to small sample size.
Assessment of CMV by PCR:
In the randomized controlled trial in first line patients (Study 4), patients in the MabCampath arm were tested weekly for CMV using a PCR (polymerase chain reaction) assay from initiation through completion of therapy, and every 2 weeks for the first 2 months following therapy. In this study, asymptomatic positive PCR only for CMV was reported in 77/147 (52.4%) of MabCampath-treated patients; symptomatic CMV infection was reported less commonly in 23/147 MabCampath treated patients (16%). In the MabCampath arm 36/77 (46.8%) of patients with asymptomatic PCR positive CMV received antiviral therapy and 47/77 (61%) of these patients had MabCampath therapy interrupted. The presence of asymptomatic positive PCR for CMV or symptomatic PCR positive CMV infection during treatment with MabCampath had no measurable impact on progression free survival (PFS).
Previously treated B-CLL patients:
Determination of the efficacy of MabCampath is based on overall response and survival rates. Data available from three uncontrolled B-CLL studies are summarised in the following table:

5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Pharmacokinetics were characterised in MabCampath-naive patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) who had failed previous therapy with purine analogues. MabCampath was administered as a 2 hour intravenous infusion, at the recommended dosing schedule, starting at 3 mg and increasing to 30 mg, 3 times weekly, for up to 12 weeks. MabCampath pharmacokinetics followed a 2-compartment model and displayed non-linear elimination kinetics. After the last 30 mg dose, the median volume of distribution at steady-state was 0.15 l/kg (range: 0.1-0.4 l/kg), indicating that distribution was primarily to the extracellular fluid and plasma compartments. Systemic clearance decreased with repeated administration due to decreased receptor-mediated clearance (i.e. loss of CD52 receptors in the periphery). With repeated administration and consequent plasma concentration accumulation, the rate of elimination approached zero-order kinetics. As such, half-life was 8 hours (range: 2-32 hours) after the first 30 mg dose and was 6 days (range: 1-14 days) after the last 30 mg dose. Steady-state concentrations were reached after about 6 weeks of dosing. No apparent difference in pharmacokinetics between males and females was observed nor was any apparent age effect observed.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
Preclinical eva luation of alemtuzumab in animals has been limited to the cynomolgus monkey because of the lack of expression of the CD52 antigen on non-primate species.
Lymphocytopenia was the most common treatment-related effect in this species. A slight cumulative effect on the degree of lymphocyte depletion was seen in repeated dose studies compared to single dose studies. Lymphocyte depletion was rapidly reversible after cessation of dosing. Reversible neutropenia was seen following daily intravenous or subcutaneous dosing for 30 days, but not following single doses or daily dosing for 14 days. Histopathology results from bone marrow samples revealed no remarkable changes attributable to treatment. Single intravenous doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg produced moderate to severe dose related hypotension accompanied by a slight tachycardia.
MabCampath Fab binding was observed in lymphoid tissues and the mononuclear phagocyte system. Significant Fab binding was also observed in the male reproductive tract (epididymis, sperm, seminal vesicle) and the skin.
No other findings, in the above toxicity studies, provide information of significant relevance to clinical use.
No short or long term animal studies have been conducted with MabCampath to assess carcinogenic and mutagenic potential.
