美国FDA 批准基Genzyme公司的plerixafor注射液(Mozobil)上市,与粒细胞集落刺激因子(G-CSF)联合用药促进红细胞生成素干细胞进入非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)和多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者血流以收集、随后自体移植。本品还被获准作为罕用药物。剂量规格普乐沙福20 mg/mL。
本品系一新颖的小分子CXCR4趋化因子受体阻断剂,在多项早期研究显示可快速有效地增加NHL和MM患者血液循环中的干细胞数。
本品在治疗需干细胞移植的某些类型癌症患者是一重大进展。由于本品有益于患者、医生和移植治疗中心将成为干细胞移植治疗方案的整体部分。
本品调动红细胞生成素干细胞从骨髓进入血流,收集、为需干细胞移植的某些类型癌症患者进行移植。以往,移植前患者需接受处方药化疗和(或)生长因子 类药物来帮助其调动红细胞生成素干细胞进入血流。一旦此细胞进入血流,它们被收集用于移植制备。
为了完成干细胞移植,按体重必需收集约200万个干细胞/kg。许多患者需3~4小时至数日来完成此过程。甚至一些患者调动不了足够的干细胞,因而不能进行移植。对许多癌症患者来说,调动干细胞是缩小癌症或治愈的唯一希望。
在本品关键的临床研究中,59%的NHL患者接受本品和G-CSF联合用药治疗旨在4个或更少的单采血液成分术期间内按体重至少收集的目标数为500万个干细胞/kg,与20%接受安慰剂的患者进行比较。Mozobil治疗组达到目标细胞数的平均天数为3日,安慰剂组未作评价。72%的MM患者接受Mozobil与G-CSF联合用药治疗旨在2个或更少的单采血液成分术期间内按体重至少收集的目标数为600万个干细胞/kg,与28%使用安慰剂患者进行对照。本品组达到靶细胞数的平均天数为1日,安慰剂组为4日。在关键的临床研究中选择的干细胞目标数是依据达到这些目标数有助于促进移植的文献资料。
本品除了有益于NHL和MM患者外,还为移植治疗中心带来了经济效益。本品可减少单采血液成分术的天数,可向移植中心提供可预测和有效地使用单采血液成分术中心。本品还可减少原先单一采用G-CSF治疗不能调动足够细胞数需第2次治疗的患者人数。
Mozobil
Generic Name: plerixafor Dosage Form: injection FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION Indications and Usage for Mozobil Mozobil® (plerixafor injection) is indicated in combination with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells to the peripheral blood for collection and subsequent autologous transplantation in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM).
Mozobil Dosage and Administration Recommended Dosage and Administration
Vials should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration and should not be used if there is particulate matter or if the solution is discolored.
Begin treatment with Mozobil after the patient has received G-CSF once daily for four days. [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] Administer Mozobil approximately 11 hours prior to initiation of each apheresis for up to 4 consecutive days.
The recommended dose of Mozobil is 0.24 mg/kg body weight by subcutaneous (SC) injection. Use the patient’s actual body weight to calculate the volume of Mozobil to be administered. Each vial delivers 1.2 mL of 20 mg/mL solution, and the volume to be administered to patients should be calculated from the following equation:
0.012 X patient’s actual body weight (in kg) = volume to be administered (in mL)
In clinical studies, Mozobil dose has been calculated based on actual body weight in patients up to 175% of ideal body weight. Mozobil dose and treatment of patients weighing more than 175% of ideal body weight have not been investigated.
Based on increasing exposure with increasing body weight, the plerixafor dose should not exceed 40 mg/day. [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
Recommended Concomitant Medications
Administer daily morning doses of G-CSF 10 micrograms/kg for 4 days prior to the first evening dose of Mozobil and on each day prior to apheresis. [see Clinical Studies (14)]
Dosing in Renal Impairment
In patients with moderate and severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance (CLCR) ≤ 50 mL/min), reduce the dose of Mozobil by one-third to 0.16 mg/kg as shown in Table 1. If CLCR is ≤ 50 mL/min the dose should not exceed 27 mg/day, as the mg/kg-based dosage results in increased plerixafor exposure with increasing body weight. [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] Similar systemic exposure is predicted if the dose is reduced by one-third in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment compared with subjects with normal renal function. [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]

Contraindications
None
Warnings and Precautions
Tumor Cell Mobilization in Leukemia Patients
For the purpose of HSC mobilization, Mozobil may cause mobilization of leukemic cells and subsequent contamination of the apheresis product. Therefore, Mozobil is not intended for HSC mobilization and harvest in patients with leukemia.
Hematologic Effects
Leukocytosis Administration of Mozobil in conjunction with G-CSF increases circulating leukocytes as well as HSC populations. Monitor white blood cell counts during Mozobil use. Exercise clinical judgment when administering Mozobil to patients with peripheral blood neutrophil counts above 50,000/mcL.
Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia has been observed in patients receiving Mozobil. Monitor platelet counts in all patients who receive Mozobil and then undergo apheresis.
Potential for Tumor Cell Mobilization
When Mozobil is used in combination with G-CSF for HSC mobilization‚ tumor cells may be released from the marrow and subsequently collected in the leukapheresis product. The effect of potential reinfusion of tumor cells has not been well-studied.
Splenic Enlargement and Potential for Rupture
Higher absolute and relative spleen weights associated with extramedullary hematopoiesis were observed following prolonged (2 to 4 weeks) daily plerixafor SC administration in rats at doses approximately 4-fold higher than the recommended human dose based on body surface area. The effect of Mozobil on spleen size in patients was not specifically evaluated in clinical studies. Evaluate individuals receiving Mozobil in combination with G-CSF who report left upper abdominal pain and/or scapular or shoulder pain for splenic integrity.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category D Mozobil may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Plerixafor was teratogenic in animals. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women using Mozobil. Women of childbearing potential should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant while receiving treatment with Mozobil. If this drug is used during pregnancy, or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. [see Use In Specific Populations (8.1)]
Adverse Reactions
Clinical Trial Experience
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling:
- Potential for tumor cell mobilization in leukemia patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
- Increased circulating leukocytes and decreased platelet counts [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
- Potential for splenic enlargement [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
The most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) reported in patients who received Mozobil in conjunction with G-CSF regardless of causality and more frequent with Mozobil than placebo during HSC mobilization and apheresis were diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, injection site reactions, headache, arthralgia, dizziness, and vomiting.
Safety data for Mozobil in combination with G-CSF were obtained from two randomized placebo-controlled studies (301 patients) and 10 uncontrolled studies (242 patients). Patients were primarily treated with Mozobil at daily doses of 0.24 mg/kg SC. Median exposure to Mozobil in these studies was 2 days (range 1 to 7 days).
In the two randomized studies in patients with NHL and MM, a total of 301 patients were treated in the Mozobil and G-CSF group and 292 patients were treated in the placebo and G-CSF group. Patients received daily morning doses of G-CSF 10 micrograms/kg for 4 days prior to the first dose of Mozobil 0.24 mg/kg SC or placebo and on each morning prior to apheresis. The adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 5% of the patients who received Mozobil regardless of causality and were more frequent with Mozobil than placebo during HSC mobilization and apheresis are shown in Table 2.
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

In the randomized studies, 34% of patients with NHL or MM had mild to moderate injection site reactions at the site of subcutaneous administration of Mozobil. These included erythema, hematoma, hemorrhage, induration, inflammation, irritation, pain, paresthesia, pruritus, rash, swelling, and urticaria.
Mild to moderate systemic reactions were observed in less than 1% of patients approximately 30 min after Mozobil administration. Events included one or more of the following: urticaria (n = 2), periorbital swelling (n = 2), dyspnea (n = 1) or hypoxia (n = 1). Symptoms generally responded to treatments (e.g., antihistamines, corticosteroids, hydration or supplemental oxygen) or resolved spontaneously.
Vasovagal reactions, orthostatic hypotension, and/or syncope can occur following subcutaneous injections. In Mozobil oncology and healthy volunteer clinical studies, less than 1% of subjects experienced vasovagal reactions following subcutaneous administration of Mozobil doses ≤ 0.24 mg/kg. The majority of these events occurred within 1 hour of Mozobil administration. Because of the potential for these reactions, appropriate precautions should be taken.
Other adverse reactions in the randomized studies that occurred in < 5% of patients but were reported as related to Mozobil during HSC mobilization and apheresis included abdominal pain, hyperhidrosis, abdominal distention, dry mouth, erythema, stomach discomfort, malaise, hypoesthesia oral, constipation, dyspepsia, and musculoskeletal pain.
Drug Interactions
Based on in vitro data, plerixafor is not a substrate, inhibitor or inducer of human cytochrome P450 isozymes. Plerixafor is not likely to be implicated in in vivo drug-drug interactions involving cytochrome P450s. At concentrations similar to what are seen clinically, plerixafor did not act as a substrate or inhibitor of P-glycoprotein in an in vitro study. [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category D Plerixafor was teratogenic in animals. Plerixafor administered to pregnant rats induced embryo-fetal toxicities including fetal death, increased resorptions and post-implantation loss, decreased fetal weights, anophthalmia, shortened digits, cardiac interventricular septal defect, ringed aorta, globular heart, hydrocephaly, dilatation of olfactory ventricles, and retarded skeletal development. Embryo-fetal toxicities occurred mainly at a dose of 90 mg/m2 (approximately 10 times the recommended human dose of 0.24 mg/kg when compared on a mg/m2 basis or 10 times the AUC in subjects with normal renal function who received a single dose of 0.24 mg/kg).
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether plerixafor is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from Mozobil, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
Pediatric Use
The safety and efficacy of Mozobil in pediatric patients have not been established in controlled clinical studies.
Geriatric Use
Of the total number of subjects in controlled clinical studies of Mozobil, 24% were 65 and over, while 0.8% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
Since plerixafor is mainly excreted by the kidney, no dose modifications are necessary in elderly individuals with normal renal function. In general, care should be taken in dose selection for elderly patients due to the greater frequency of decreased renal function with advanced age. Dosage adjustment in elderly patients with CLCR ≤ 50 mL/min is recommended. [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
Renal Impairment
In patients with moderate and severe renal impairment (CLCR ≤ 50 mL/min), reduce the dose of plerixafor by one-third to 0.16 mg/kg. [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]
Overdosage
Based on limited data at doses above the recommended dose of 0.24 mg/kg SC, the frequency of gastrointestinal disorders, vasovagal reactions, orthostatic hypotension, and/or syncope may be higher.
Mozobil Description
Mozobil (plerixafor injection) is a sterile, preservative-free, clear, colorless to pale yellow, isotonic solution for subcutaneous injection. Each mL of the sterile solution contains 20 mg of plerixafor. Each single-use vial is filled to deliver 1.2 mL of the sterile solution that contains 24 mg of plerixafor and 5.9 mg of sodium chloride in Water for Injection adjusted to a pH of 6.0 to 7.5 with hydrochloric acid and with sodium hydroxide, if required.
Plerixafor is a hematopoietic stem cell mobilizer with a chemical name 1, 1'-[1,4-phenylenebis (methylene)]-bis-1,4,8,11- tetraazacyclotetradecane. It has the molecular formula C28H54N8. The molecular weight of plerixafor is 502.79 g/mol. The structural formula is provided in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Structural Formula
Plerixafor is a white to off-white crystalline solid. It is hygroscopic. Plerixafor has a typical melting point of 131.5 °C. The partition coefficient of plerixafor between 1-octanol and pH 7 aqueous buffer is < 0.1
Mozobil - Clinical Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Plerixafor is an inhibitor of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor and blocks binding of its cognate ligand, stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α). SDF-1α and CXCR4 are recognized to play a role in the trafficking and homing of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to the marrow compartment. Once in the marrow, stem cell CXCR4 can act to help anchor these cells to the marrow matrix, either directly via SDF-1α or through the induction of other adhesion molecules. Treatment with plerixafor resulted in leukocytosis and elevations in circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells in mice, dogs and humans. CD34+ cells mobilized by plerixafor were capable of engraftment with long-term repopulating capacity up to one year in canine transplantation models.
Pharmacodynamics
Data on the fold increase in peripheral blood CD34+ cell count (cells/mcL) by apheresis day were evaluated in two placebo-controlled clinical studies in patients with NHL and MM (Study 1 and Study 2, respectively). The fold increase in CD34+ cell count (cells/mcL) over the 24-hour period starting from the day prior to the first apheresis and ending the next morning just before the first apheresis is summarized in Table 3. During this 24-hour period, a single dose of Mozobil or placebo was administered 10 to 11 hours prior to apheresis.

In pharmacodynamic studies of Mozobil in healthy volunteers, peak mobilization of CD34+ cells was observed between 6 and 9 hours after administration. In pharmacodynamic studies of Mozobil in conjunction with G-CSF in healthy volunteers, a sustained elevation in the peripheral blood CD34+ count was observed from 4 to 18 hours after plerixafor administration with a peak CD34+ count between 10 and 14 hours.
Pharmacokinetics
The single-dose pharmacokinetics of plerixafor 0.24 mg/kg were evaluated in patients with NHL and MM following pre-treatment with G-CSF (10 micrograms/kg once daily for 4 consecutive days). Plerixafor exhibits linear kinetics between the 0.04 mg/kg to 0.24 mg/kg dose range. The pharmacokinetics of plerixafor were similar across clinical studies in healthy subjects who received plerixafor alone and NHL and MM patients who received plerixafor in combination with G-CSF.
A population pharmacokinetic analysis incorporated plerixafor data from 63 subjects (NHL patients, MM patients, subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment, and healthy subjects) who received a single SC dose (0.04 mg/kg to 0.24 mg/kg) of plerixafor. A two-compartment disposition model with first order absorption and elimination was found to adequately describe the plerixafor concentration-time profile. Significant relationships between clearance and creatinine clearance (CLCR), as well as between central volume of distribution and body weight were observed. The distribution half-life (t1/2α) was estimated to be 0.3 hours and the terminal population half-life (t1/2β) was 5.3 hours in patients with normal renal function.
The population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that the mg/kg-based dosage results in an increased plerixafor exposure (AUC0-24h) with increasing body weight. There is limited experience with the 0.24 mg/kg dose of plerixafor in patients weighing above 160 kg. Therefore the dose should not exceed that of a 160 kg patient (i.e., 40 mg/day if CLCR is > 50 mL/min and 27 mg/day if CLCR is ≤ 50 mL/min). [see Dosage and Administration (2.1, 2.3)]
Absorption Peak plasma concentrations occurred at approximately 30 - 60 minutes after a SC dose.
Distribution Plerixafor is bound to human plasma proteins up to 58%. The apparent volume of distribution of plerixafor in humans is 0.3 L/kg demonstrating that plerixafor is largely confined to, but not limited to, the extravascular fluid space.
Metabolism The metabolism of plerixafor was evaluated with in vitro assays. Plerixafor is not metabolized as shown in assays using human liver microsomes or human primary hepatocytes and does not exhibit inhibitory activity in vitro towards the major drug metabolizing cytochrome P450 enzymes (1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4/5). In in vitro studies with human hepatocytes, plerixafor does not induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4 enzymes. These findings suggest that plerixafor has a low potential for involvement in cytochrome P450-dependent drug-drug interactions.
Elimination The major route of elimination of plerixafor is urinary. Following a 0.24 mg/kg dose in healthy volunteers with normal renal function, approximately 70% of the dose was excreted in the urine as the parent drug during the first 24 hours following administration. In studies with healthy subjects and patients, the terminal half-life in plasma ranges between 3 and 5 hours. At concentrations similar to what are seen clinically, plerixafor did not act as a substrate or inhibitor of P-glycoprotein in an in vitro study with MDCKII and MDCKII-MDR1 cell models.
Renal Impairment Following a single 0.24 mg/kg SC dose, plerixafor clearance was reduced in subjects with varying degrees of renal impairment and was positively correlated with CLCR. The mean AUC0-24h of plerixafor in subjects with mild (CLCR 51-80 mL/min), moderate (CLCR 31-50 mL/min), and severe (CLCR < 31 mL/min) renal impairment was 7%, 32%, and 39% higher than healthy subjects with normal renal function, respectively. Renal impairment had no effect on Cmax. A population pharmacokinetic analysis indicated an increased exposure (AUC0-24h) in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment compared to patients with CLCR > 50 mL/min. These results support a dose reduction of one-third in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment (CLCR ≤ 50 mL/min) in order to match the exposure in patients with normal renal function. The population pharmacokinetic analysis showed that the mg/kg-based dosage results in an increased plerixafor exposure (AUC0-24h) with increasing body weight; therefore if CLCR is ≤ 50 mL/min the dose should not exceed 27 mg/day. [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)]
Since plerixafor is primarily eliminated by the kidneys, coadministration of plerixafor with drugs that reduce renal function or compete for active tubular secretion may increase serum concentrations of plerixafor or the coadministered drug. The effects of coadministration of plerixafor with other drugs that are renally eliminated or are known to affect renal function have not been evaluated.
Race Clinical data show similar plerixafor pharmacokinetics for Caucasians and African-Americans, and the effect of other racial/ethnic groups has not been studied.
Gender Clinical data show no effect of gender on plerixafor pharmacokinetics.
Age Clinical data show no effect of age on plerixafor pharmacokinetics.
QT/QTc Prolongation
There is no indication of a QT/QTc prolonging effect of Mozobil in single doses up to 0.40 mg/kg. In a randomized, double-blind, crossover study, 48 healthy subjects were administered a single subcutaneous dose of Mozobil (0.24 mg/kg and 0.40 mg/kg) and placebo. Peak concentrations for 0.40 mg/kg Mozobil were approximately 1.8-fold higher than the peak concentrations following the 0.24 mg/kg single subcutaneous dose.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies with plerixafor have not been conducted.
Plerixafor was not genotoxic in an in vitro bacterial mutation assay (Ames test in Salmonella), an in vitro chromosomal aberration test using V79 Chinese hamster cells, or an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus test in rats after subcutaneous doses up to 25 mg/kg (150 mg/m2).
The effect of plerixafor on human fertility is unknown. The effect of plerixafor on male or female fertility was not studied in designated reproductive toxicology studies. The staging of spermatogenesis measured in a 28-day repeated dose toxicity study in rats revealed no abnormalities considered to be related to plerixafor. No histopathological evidence of toxicity to male or female reproductive organs was observed in 28-day repeated dose toxicity studies.
Clinical Studies
The efficacy and safety of Mozobil in conjunction with G-CSF in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM) were evaluated in two placebo-controlled studies (Studies 1 and 2). Patients were randomized to receive either Mozobil 0.24 mg/kg or placebo on each evening prior to apheresis. Patients received daily morning doses of G-CSF 10 micrograms/kg for 4 days prior to the first dose of Mozobil or placebo and on each morning prior to apheresis. Two hundred and ninety-eight (298) NHL patients were included in the primary efficacy analyses for Study 1. The mean age was 55.1 years (range 29-75) and 57.5 years (range 22-75) in the Mozobil and placebo groups, respectively, and 93% of subjects were Caucasian. Three hundred and two (302) MM patients were included in the primary efficacy analyses for Study 2. The mean age was 58.2 years (range 28-75) and 58.5 years (range 28-75) in the Mozobil and placebo groups, respectively, and 81% of subjects were Caucasian.
In Study 1, 59% of NHL patients who were mobilized with Mozobil and G-CSF collected ≥ 5 X 106 CD34+ cells/kg from the peripheral blood in four or fewer apheresis sessions, compared with 20% of patients who were mobilized with placebo and G-CSF (p < 0.001). Other CD34+ cell mobilization outcomes showed similar findings (Table 4).
