药品介绍
2014年4月18日,FDA批准了单抗药物Arzerra(ofatumumab,奥法木单抗)补充生物制品许可(sBLA),作为一线疗法,联合苯丁酸氮芥(chlorambucil),用于治疗既往未接受治疗且不适合氟达拉滨(fludarabine)疗法的慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者。
基于III期临床COMPLEMENT1研究的数据,FDA批准Arzerra用于一线适应证。葛兰素史克的该试验在超过400例既往未经治疗的CLL患者中开展,研究中将ofatumumab+苯丁酸氮芥(chlorambucil)组合疗法与苯丁酸氮芥单药疗法进行了对比。研究结果表明,与苯丁酸氮芥单药疗法相比,组合疗法显著改善了疾病无进展生存期(PFS,22.4个月vs 13.1个月,p<0.001)。
此前,FDA于2013年9月授予Arzerra突破性疗法认定,并于同年11月授予该药物sBLA优先审查资格。慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)是成人白血病中的最常见形式。据美国癌症协会(ACS)估计,2013年仅美国将新增15680例CLL患者。目前,该病尚无根治性治疗方法。
Arzerra为单抗药ofatumumab的商品名,是一种创新的全人源化单克隆抗体,靶向于B细胞表面CD20分子的一个抗原表位,该表位包含了CD20分子的胞外大环和小环结构,目前正由葛兰素史克(GSK)和Genmab制药联合开发。
Arzerra分别于2009年和2010年获FDA和EMA批准,用于对标准药物阿仑单抗(alemtuzumab,Campath)或氟达拉滨(fludarabine)治疗无应答的慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者的治疗。

4.1 Therapeutic indications
Previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL):
Arzerra in combination with chlorambucil or bendamustine is indicated for the treatment of patients with CLL who have not received prior therapy and who are not eligible for fludarabine-based therapy.
See section 5.1 for further information.
Refractory CLL:
Arzerra is indicated for the treatment of CLL in patients who are refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab.
See section 5.1 for further information.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Arzerra should be administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of cancer therapy and in an environment where full resuscitation facilities are immediately available.
Pre-medication
Patients should be pre-medicated 30 minutes to 2 hours prior to Arzerra infusion according to the following dosing schedules:
Previously untreated CLL:
• oral paracetamol (acetaminophen) 1,000 mg (or equivalent), plus
• oral or intravenous antihistamine (diphenhydramine 50 mg or cetirizine 10 mg or equivalent), plus
• intravenous corticosteroid (prednisolone 50 mg or equivalent).
Following the first and second infusion, if the patient does not experience a severe adverse drug reaction (ADR), pre-medication with a corticosteroid for subsequent infusions may either be reduced or omitted, at the discretion of the physician.
Refractory CLL:
• oral paracetamol (acetaminophen) 1,000 mg (or equivalent), plus
• oral or intravenous antihistamine (diphenhydramine 50 mg or cetirizine 10 mg or equivalent), plus
• intravenous corticosteroid (prednisolone 100 mg or equivalent).
If the second weekly infusion is completed without a severe ADR, the dose of the corticosteroid may be reduced for infusion numbers 3 through 8, at the discretion of the physician.
Prior to the ninth infusion (first monthly infusion), patients should receive the full dose of premedication agents described above. If the ninth infusion is completed without a severe ADR, the dose may be reduced to the equivalent of 50 mg prednisolone for subsequent infusions at the discretion of the physician.
Posology
Previously untreated CLL:
The recommended dose and schedule is 300 mg on day 1 followed 1 week later by 1,000 mg on day 8 (cycle 1), followed by 1,000 mg on day 1 of subsequent cycles, for a minimum of 3 cycles, until best response or a maximum of 12 cycles (every 28 days).
Best response is a clinical response that did not improve with 3 additional cycles of treatment.
First infusion
The initial rate of the first infusion of Arzerra should be 12 ml/h. During infusion, the rate should be increased every 30 minutes to a maximum of 400 ml/h (see section 6.6).
Subsequent infusions
If the first infusion has been completed without severe infusion related ADRs, the subsequent infusions can start at a rate of 25 ml/h and should be increased every 30 minutes up to a maximum of 400 ml/h (see section 6.6).
Refractory CLL:
The recommended dose is 300 mg for the first infusion and 2,000 mg for all subsequent infusions. The infusion schedule is 8 consecutive weekly infusions, followed 4-5 weeks later by 4 consecutive monthly (i.e. every 4 weeks) infusions.
First and second infusions
The initial rate of the first and second infusion of Arzerra should be 12 ml/hour. During infusion, the rate should be increased every 30 minutes to a maximum of 200 ml/hour (see section 6.6).
Subsequent infusions
If the second infusion has been completed without severe infusion related ADRs, the remaining infusions can start at a rate of 25 ml/hour and should be increased every 30 minutes up to a maximum of 400 ml/hour (see section 6.6).
Dose modification and reinitiation of therapy for infusion related ADRs – in patients with previously untreated CLL and refractory CLL.
Interrupt infusion for infusion related ADRs of any severity. Treatment can be resumed at the discretion of the treating physician. The following infusion rate modifications can be used as a guide:
• In case of a mild or moderate ADR, the infusion should be interrupted and restarted at half of the infusion rate at the time of interruption, when the patient's condition is stable. If the infusion rate had not been increased from the starting rate of 12 ml/hour prior to interrupting due to an ADR, the infusion should be restarted at 12 ml/hour, the standard starting infusion rate. The infusion rate can continue to be increased according to standard procedures, according to physician discretion and patient tolerance (not to exceed increasing the rate every 30 minutes).
• In case of a severe ADR, the infusion should be interrupted and restarted at 12 ml/hour, when the patient's condition is stable. The infusion rate can continue to be increased according to standard procedures, according to physician discretion and patient tolerance (not to exceed increasing the rate every 30 minutes).
Paediatric population
Arzerra is not recommended for use in children below 18 years due to insufficient data on safety and/or efficacy.
Elderly
No substantial differences were seen in safety and efficacy related to age (see section 5.1). Based on available safety and efficacy data in the elderly, no dose adjustment is required (see section 5.2).
Renal impairment
No formal studies of Arzerra in patients with renal impairment have been performed. No dose adjustment is recommended for mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance >30 ml/min) (see section 5.2).
Hepatic impairment
No formal studies of Arzerra in patients with hepatic impairment have been performed. However, patients with hepatic impairment are unlikely to require dose modification (see section 5.2).
Method of administration
Arzerra is for intravenous infusion and must be diluted prior to administration. For instructions on dilution of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6.
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to ofatumumab or to any of the excipients listed in see section 6.1.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Infusion reactions
Ofatumumab has been associated with infusion reactions leading to temporary interruption of treatment or withdrawal of treatment. Pre-medications attenuate infusion reactions but these may still occur, predominantly during the first infusion. Infusion reactions may include anaphylactoid events, cardiac events, chills/rigors, cough, cytokine release syndrome, diarrhoea, dyspnoea, fatigue, flushing, hypertension, hypotension, nausea, pain, pyrexia, rash, and urticaria. Even with pre-medication, severe reactions, including cytokine release syndrome, have been reported following use of ofatumumab. In cases of severe infusion reaction, the infusion of Arzerra must be interrupted immediately and symptomatic treatment instituted (see section 4.2).
Infusion reactions occur more frequently on the first day of infusion and tend to decrease with subsequent infusions. Patients with a history of decreased pulmonary function may be at a greater risk for pulmonary complications from severe reactions and should be monitored closely during infusion of ofatumumab.
Tumour lysis syndrome
In patients with CLL, tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) may occur with use of ofatumumab. Risk factors for TLS include a high tumour burden, high concentrations of circulating cells (≥ 25,000/mm3), hypovolaemia, renal insufficiency, elevated pre-treatment uric acid levels and elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels. Management of TLS includes correction of electrolyte abnormalities, monitoring of renal function, maintenance of fluid balance and supportive care.
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and death has been reported in CLL patients receiving cytotoxic pharmacotherapy, including ofatumumab. A diagnosis of PML should be considered in any Arzerra patient who reports the new onset of or changes in pre-existing neurologic signs and symptoms. If a diagnosis of PML is suspected Arzerra should be discontinued and referral to a neurologist should be considered.
Immunisations
The safety of, and ability to generate a primary or anamnestic response to, immunisation with live attenuated or inactivated vaccines during treatment with ofatumumab has not been studied. The response to vaccination could be impaired when B cells are depleted. Due to the risk of infection, administration of live attenuated vaccines should be avoided during and after treatment with ofatumumab, until B cell counts are normalised. The risks and benefits of vaccinating patients during therapy with ofatumumab should be considered.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and reactivation, in some cases resulting in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure and death, has occurred in patients treated with drugs classified as CD20-directed cytolytic antibodies, including Arzerra. Cases have been reported in patients who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive and also in those who are hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positive but HBsAg negative. Reactivation has also occurred in patients who appear to have resolved hepatitis B infection (i.e. HBsAg negative, anti-HBc positive, and hepatitis B surface antibody [anti-HBs] positive).
HBV reactivation is defined as an abrupt increase in HBV replication manifesting as a rapid increase in serum HBV DNA level or detection of HBsAg in a person who was previously HBsAg negative and anti-HBc positive. Reactivation of HBV replication is often followed by hepatitis, i.e., increase in transaminase levels and, in severe cases, increase in bilirubin levels, liver failure, and death.
All patients should be screened for HBV infection by measuring HBsAg and anti-HBc before initiation of Arzerra treatment. For patients who show evidence of prior (HBsAg negative, anti-HBc positive) hepatitis B infection, physicians with expertise in managing hepatitis B should be consulted regarding monitoring and initiation of HBV antiviral therapy. Arzerra treatment should not be initiated in patients with evidence of current hepatitis B infection (HBsAg positive) until the infection has been adequately treated.
Patients with evidence of prior HBV infection should be monitored for clinical and laboratory signs of hepatitis or HBV reactivation during treatment with and for 6-12 months following the last infusion of Arzerra. HBV reactivation has been reported up to 12 months following completion of therapy. Discontinuation of HBV antiviral therapy should be discussed with physicians with expertise in managing hepatitis B.
In patients who develop reactivation of HBV while receiving Arzerra, Arzerra and any concomitant chemotherapy should be interrupted immediately, and appropriate treatment instituted. Insufficient data exist regarding the safety of resuming Arzerra in patients who develop HBV reactivation. Resumption of Arzerra in patients whose HBV reactivation resolves should be discussed with physicians with expertise in managing hepatitis B.
Cardiovascular
Patients with a history of cardiac disease should be monitored closely. Arzerra should be discontinued in patients who experience serious or life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.
The effect of multiple doses of Arzerra on the QTc interval was evaluated in a pooled analysis of three open-label studies in patients with CLL (N = 85). Increases above 5 msec were observed in the median/mean QT/QTc intervals in the pooled analysis. No large changes in the mean QTc interval (i.e., >20 milliseconds) were detected. None of the patients had an increase of QTc to >500 msec. A concentration dependent increase in QTc was not detected. It is recommended that patients have electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium measured prior to and during the administration of ofatumumab. Electrolyte abnormalities should be corrected. The effect of ofatumumab on patients with prolonged QT intervals (e.g., acquired or congenital) is unknown.
Bowel obstruction
Bowel obstruction has been reported in patients receiving anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy, including ofatumumab. Patients who present with abdominal pain, especially early in the course of ofatumumab therapy, should be evaluated and appropriate treatment instituted.
Laboratory monitoring
Cytopenias, including prolonged and late-onset neutropenia, have been reported during ofatumumab therapy. Complete blood counts, including neutrophil and platelet counts should be obtained at regular intervals during ofatumumab therapy and more frequently in patients who develop cytopenias.
Sodium content
This medicinal product contains 34.8 mg sodium per 300 mg dose, 116 mg sodium per 1,000 mg dose and 232 mg sodium per 2,000 mg dose. This should be taken into consideration by patients on a controlled sodium diet.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Although limited formal drug-drug interaction data exist for ofatumumab, there are no known clinically significant interactions with other medicinal products. Ofatumumab does not have a clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of chlorambucil or its active metabolite, phenylacetic acid mustard.
Live attenuated or inactivated vaccine efficacy may be impaired with ofatumumab. Therefore, the concomitant use of these agents with ofatumumab should be avoided. If the coadministration is judged unavoidable, the risks and benefits of vaccinating patients during therapy with ofatumumab should be considered (see section 4.4).
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
There are no data from the use of ofatumumab in pregnant women. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). Ofatumumab should not be administered to pregnant women unless the possible benefit to the mother outweighs the possible risk to the foetus.
Women of childbearing potential have to use effective contraception during and for 12 months after the last ofatumumab treatment.
Breast-feeding
It is unknown whether ofatumumab is excreted in human milk, however human IgG is secreted in human milk. The safe use of ofatumumab in humans during lactation has not been established. The excretion of ofatumumab in milk has not been studied in animals. Published data suggest that neonatal and infant consumption of breast milk does not result in substantial absorption of these maternal antibodies into circulation. A risk to newborns/infants cannot be excluded. Breastfeeding should be discontinued during treatment with ofatumumab and for 12 months following treatment.
Fertility
There are no data on the effects of ofatumumab on human fertility. Effects on male and female fertility have not been evaluated in animal studies.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
No studies on the effects of Arzerra on the ability to drive and use machines have been performed.
No detrimental effects on such activities are predicted from the pharmacology of ofatumumab. The clinical status of the patient and the ADR profile of ofatumumab should be borne in mind when considering the patient's ability to perform tasks that require judgement, motor or cognitive skills (see section 4.8).
4.8 Undesirable effects
Summary of the safety profile
The overall safety profile of ofatumumab in CLL (previously untreated and relapsed or refractory) is based on data from 511 patients in clinical trials (see section 5.1). This includes 250 patients treated with ofatumumab alone (in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL) and 261 patients treated in combination with an alkylating agent (in patients with previously untreated CLL who are inappropriate for a fludarabine-based therapy) .

Description of selected adverse reactions
Infusion reactions
The most frequently observed ADRs in patients receiving ofatumumab in clinical trials were infusion-related reactions which occurred in 68% (348/511) of patients at any time during treatment. The majority of infusion reactions were Grade 1 or Grade 2 in severity. Eight percent of patients had Grade ≥3 infusion reactions at any time during treatment. Two percent of the infusion reactions led to discontinuation of treatment. There were no fatal infusion reactions (see section 4.4).
Infections
Of the 511 patients receiving ofatumumab in clinical trials, 300 patients (59%) experienced an infection. These included bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. One –hundred and four (20%) of the 511 patients experienced ≥ Grade 3 infections. Twenty-eight (5%) of the 511 patients experienced a fatal infection.
Neutropenia
Of the 511 patients receiving ofatumumab in clinical trials, 139 patients (27%) experienced an adverse event associated with a decreased neutrophil count; 188 (23%) of the 511 patients experienced ≥Grade 3 adverse events associated with a decreased neutrophil count. Forty-two (8%) experienced a serious adverse event associated with a decreased neutrophil count.
In the pivotal study for untreated CLL (OMB110911), prolonged neutropenia (defined as Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia not resolved between 24 and 42 days of last treatment) was reported in 41 patients (23 patients treated with ofatumumab and chlorambucil, 18 patients treated with chlorambucil alone). Nine patients treated with ofatumumab and chlorambucil, and three patients treated with chlorambucil alone had late onset neutropenia, defined as Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia starting at least 42 days after the last treatment.
Cardiovascular
The effect of multiple doses of Arzerra on the QTc interval was evaluated in a pooled analysis of three open-label studies in patients with CLL (N = 85). Increases above 5 msec were observed in the median/mean QT/QTc intervals in the pooled analysis. No large changes in the mean QTc interval (i.e., >20 milliseconds) were detected. None of the patients had an increase of QTc to >500 msec. A concentration dependent increase in QTc was not detected.

5. Pharmacological properties
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: monoclonal antibodies, ATC code: L01XC10
This medicinal product has been authorised under a so-called 'conditional approval' scheme.
This means that further evidence on this medicinal product is awaited. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) will review new information on the medicinal product every year and this SmPC will be updated as necessary.
Mechanism of action
Ofatumumab is a human monoclonal antibody (IgG1) that binds specifically to a distinct epitope encompassing both the small and large extracellular loops of the CD20 molecule. The CD20 molecule is a transmembrane phosphoprotein expressed on B lymphocytes from the pre-B to mature B lymphocyte stage and on B cell tumours. The B cell tumours include CLL (generally associated with lower levels of CD20 expression) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (where > 90% tumours have high levels of CD20 expression). The CD20 molecule is not shed from the cell surface and is not internalised following antibody binding.
The binding of ofatumumab to the membrane-proximal epitope of the CD20 molecule induces recruitment and activation of the complement pathway at the cell surface, leading to complement-dependent cytotoxicity and resultant lysis of tumour cells. Ofatumumab has been shown to induce appreciable lysis of cells with high expression levels of complement defence molecules. Ofatumumab has also been shown to induce cell lysis in both high and low CD20 expressing cells and in rituximab-resistant cells. In addition, the binding of ofatumumab allows the recruitment of natural killer cells allowing the induction of cell death through antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
Pharmacodynamic effects
Peripheral B cells counts decreased after the first ofatumumab infusion in patients with haematologic malignancies. In patients with refractory CLL, the median decrease in B cell counts was 22% after the first infusion and 92% at the eighth weekly infusion. Peripheral B cell counts remained low throughout the remainder of therapy in most patients and remained below baseline up to 15 months after the last dose in patients who responded.
In patients with previously untreated CLL, the median decreases in B cell counts after the first cycle and prior to the sixth monthly cycle were 94% and >99% respectively for ofatumumab in combination with chlorambucil and 73% and 97% respectively for chlorambucil alone. At 6 months after the last dose, the median reductions in B cell counts were >99% for ofatumumab in combination with chlorambucil and 94% for chlorambucil alone.
Immunogenicity
There is a potential for immunogenicity with therapeutic proteins such as ofatumumab. Serum samples from more than 440 patients across the CLL clinical program were tested for anti-ofatumumab antibodies (either by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or electrochemiluminescence) during and after treatment periods ranging from 4 to 45 weeks. There was no formation of anti-ofatumumab antibodies in patients with CLL after treatment with ofatumumab.
Clinical efficacy and safety
The efficacy of Arzerra has been evaluated in two clinical studies (OMB110911 and OMB115991) in patients with previously untreated CLL considered inappropriate for a fludarabine-based treatment, and two clinical studies (Hx-CD20-406 and Hx-CD20-402) in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL.
Previously untreated CLL:
Study OMB110911 (randomised, open-label, parallel-arm, multicentre) evaluated the efficacy of Arzerra in combination with chlorambucil compared with chlorambucil alone in 447 patients with previously untreated CLL considered inappropriate for fludarabine-based treatment (e.g. due to advanced age or presence of co-morbidities), with active disease and indicated for treatment. Patients received either Arzerra as monthly intravenous infusions (Cycle 1: 300 mg on day 1 and 1,000 mg on day 8. Subsequent cycles: 1,000 mg on day 1 every 28 days) in combination with chlorambucil (10 mg/m2 orally on days 1-7 every 28 days) or chlorambucil alone (10 mg/m2 orally on days 1-7 every 28 days). Patients received treatment for a minimum of 3 months until best response or up to a maximum of 12 cycles. The median age was 69 years (range: 35 to 92 years), 27% patients were ≥75 years of age, 63% were male and 89% were white. Median cumulative illness rating score for geriatrics (CIRS-G) was 9 and 31% of patients had a CIRS-G >10. Median creatinine clearance (CrCl), assessed with the use of the Cockroft-Gault formula, was 88 mL/min and 48% of patients had a CrCl of <70 mL/min. Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 were enrolled into the study and 91% had an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Approximately 60% of patients received 3-6 cycles of Arzerra and 32% received 7-12 cycles. The median number of cycles completed in patients was 6 (total Arzerra dose of 6,300 mg).
The primary endpoint was median progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by a blinded Independent Review Committee (IRC) using the International Workshop for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (IWCLL) updated National Cancer Institute-sponsored Working Group (NCI-WG) guidelines (2008). The overall response rate (ORR) including complete response (CR) was also assessed by an IRC using the 2008 IWCLL guidelines.
Arzerra in combination with chlorambucil showed a statistically significant, 71%, improvement in median PFS compared with chlorambucil alone (HR: 0.57; 95% CI: 0.45, 0.72) (see Table 1, Figure 1). PFS benefit with the addition of Arzerra was observed in all patients, including those with poor-risk biological features (such as 17p or 11q deletion, unmutated IGHV, β2M >3500 μg/l, and ZAP-70 expression).

Study OMB115991 evaluated the efficacy of Arzerra in combination with bendamustine in 44 patients with previously untreated CLL considered inappropriate for fludarabine-based treatment. Patients received Arzerra as monthly intravenous infusions (Cycle 1 300 mg on day 1 and 1,000 mg on day 8, subsequent cycles: 1,000 mg on day 1 every 28 days) in combination with intravenous bendamustine 90 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2 every 28 days. Patients received treatment for a minimum of 3 cycles and patients with stable disease or response after 3 cycles continued treatment for a further 3 cycles for a maximum of 6 cycles. The median number of cycles completed in patients was 6 (total Arzerra dose of 6300 mg).
The primary endpoint was ORR assessed by the investigator according to the 2008 IWCLL guidelines.
The results of this study demonstrated that Arzerra in combination with bendamustine is an effective therapy providing an ORR of 95% (95% CI: 85, 99) and a CR of 43%. More than half of the patients (56%) with CR were MRD negative following the completion of study treatment.
No data comparing Arzerra in combination with bendamustine or with chlorambucil versus a rituximab based regimen such as rituximab with chlorambucil is available. Thus, the benefit of such a new combination over a rituximab based regimen is unknown.
Refractory CLL:
Arzerra was administered as a monotherapy to 223 patients with refractory CLL (study Hx-CD20-406). Patient median age was 64 years (range: 41 to 87 years), and the majority were male (73%) and white (96%). Patients received a median of 5 prior therapies, including rituximab (57%). Of these 223 patients, 95 patients were refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab therapy (defined as failure to achieve at least a partial response with fludarabine or alemtuzumab treatment or disease progression within 6 months of the last dose of fludarabine or alemtuzumab). Baseline cytogenetic (FISH) data were available for 209 patients. 36 patients had a normal karyotype and chromosomal aberrations were detected in 174 patients; there were 47 patients with 17p deletion, 73 patients with 11q deletion, 23 patients with trisomy 12q, and 31 patients with 13q deletion as the sole aberration.
The ORR was 49% in patients refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab (see Table 3 for a summary of the efficacy data from the study). Patients who had prior rituximab therapy, either as monotherapy or in combination with other medicinal products, responded to treatment with ofatumumab at a similar rate as those who had not had prior rituximab therapy.

Arzerra was also given to a group of patients (n=112) with bulky lymphadenopathy (defined as at least one lymph node > 5cm) who were also refractory to fludarabine. The ORR in this group was 43% (95.3% CI: 33, 53). The median progression-free survival was 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.6, 6.4) and the median overall survival was 17.4 months (95% CI: 15.0, 24.0). The response rate in patients with prior rituximab therapy was 38% (95% CI: 23, 61). These patients also experienced comparable clinical improvement, in terms of the efficacy endpoints and haematological parameters detailed above, to patients refractory to both fludarabine and alemtuzumab.
Additionally a group of patients (n=16) who were intolerant/ineligible for fludarabine treatment and/or intolerant to alemtuzumab treatment were treated with Arzerra. The overall response rate in this group was 63% (95.3% CI: 35, 85).
A dose-ranging study (Hx-CD20-402) was conducted in 33 patients with relapsed or refractory CLL. Patient median age was 61 years (range: 27 to 82 years), the majority were male (58%), and all were white. Treatment with ofatumumab (when given as 4 once weekly infusions), led to a 50% objective response rate in the highest dose group (1st dose: 500 mg; 2nd, 3rd and 4th dose: 2,000 mg) and included 12 partial remissions and one nodular partial remission. For the highest dose group, the median time to progression was 15.6 weeks (95% CI: 15,22.6 ) in the full analysis population, and 23 weeks (CI: 20,31) in responders. The duration of response was 16 weeks (CI: 13.3, 19) and the time to next CLL therapy was 52.4 weeks (CI: 36.9 – non-estimable).
Paediatric population
The European Medicines Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies with Arzerra in all subsets of the paediatric population in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Absorption
Ofatumumab is administered by intravenous infusion; therefore, absorption is not applicable. Maximum ofatumumab serum concentrations were generally observed at or shortly after the end of the infusion. Pharmacokinetic data were available from 215 patients with refractory CLL. The geometric mean Cmax value was 61 μg/ml after the first infusion (300 mg); after the eighth weekly infusion (seventh infusion of 2,000 mg), the geometric mean Cmax value was 1391 μg/ml and geometric mean AUC(0-∞ ) value was 463,418 μg.h/ml; after the twelfth infusion (fourth monthly infusion; 2,000 mg), the geometric mean Cmax value was 827 μg/ml and geometric mean AUC(0-∞ ) was 203,536 μg.h/ml. In patients with previously untreated CLL receiving ofatumumab and chlorambucil, the geometric mean Cmax values after the first infusion (300 mg), the 1,000 mg infusion on day 8, and the 1,000 mg infusion at the fourth monthly cycle were 52 μg/ml, 241 μg/ml, and 285 μg/ml, respectively; the geometric mean AUC(0-) value at the fourth cycle was 65,100 μg.h/ml.
Distribution
Ofatumumab has a small volume of distribution, with mean Vss values ranging from 1.7 to 8.1 l across studies, dose levels, and infusion number.
Biotransformation
Ofatumumab is a protein for which the expected metabolic pathway is degradation to small peptides and individual amino acids by ubiquitous proteolytic enzymes. Classical biotransformation studies have not been performed.
Elimination
Ofatumumab is eliminated in two ways: a target-independent route like other IgG molecules and a target-mediated route which is related to binding to B cells. There was a rapid and sustained depletion of CD20+ B cells after the first ofatumumab infusion, leaving a reduced number of CD20+ cells available for the antibody to bind at subsequent infusions. As a result, ofatumumab clearance values were lower and t½ values were significantly larger after later infusions than after the initial infusion; during repeated weekly infusions, ofatumumab AUC and Cmax values increased more than the expected accumulation based on first infusion data.
Across the studies in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL, the geometric mean values for CL and t½ were 64 ml/h (range 4.3-1,122 ml/h) and 1.3 days (range 0.2-6.0 days) after the first infusion, 8.5 ml/h (range 1.3-41.5 ml/h) and 11.5 days (range 2.3-30.6 days) after the fourth infusion, 11.7 ml/h (range 3.9-54.2 ml/h) and 13.6 days (range 2.4-36.0 days) after the eighth infusion, and 12.1 ml/h (range 3.0-233 ml/h) and 11.5 days (range 1.8-36.4 days) after the twelfth infusion.
In patients with previously untreated CLL receiving ofatumumab and chlorambucil, geometric mean CL and t½ values were 15.4 ml/h (range 4.1-146 ml/h) and 18.5 days (range 2.7-82.6 days) after the fourth infusion.
Elderly (greater than or equal to 65 years of age)
Age was not found to be a significant factor on ofatumumab pharmacokinetics in a cross-study population pharmacokinetic analysis of patients ranging in age from 21 to 87 years of age.
Children and adolescents
No pharmacokinetic data are available in paediatric patients.
Gender
Gender had a modest effect (12%) on ofatumumab central volume of distribution in a cross-study population analysis, with higher Cmax and AUC values observed in female patients (48% of the patients in this analysis were male and 52% were female); these effects are not considered clinically relevant, and no dose adjustment is recommended.
Renal impairment
Baseline calculated creatinine clearance was not found to be a significant factor on ofatumumab pharmacokinetics in a cross-study population analysis in patients with calculated creatinine clearance values ranging from 26 to 287 ml/min. No dose adjustment is recommended for mild to moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance >30 ml/min). There are limited pharmacokinetic data in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 ml/min).
Hepatic impairment
No formal studies were conducted to examine the effect of hepatic impairment. IgG1 molecules such as ofatumumab are catabolised by ubiquitous proteolytic enzymes, which are not restricted to hepatic tissue; therefore, changes in hepatic function are unlikely to have any effect on the elimination of ofatumumab.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
Preclinical data reveal no special hazards for humans.
Intravenous and subcutaneous administration to monkeys resulted in the expected depletion of peripheral and lymphoid tissue B cell counts with no associated toxicological findings. As anticipated, a reduction in the IgG humoral immune response to keyhole limpet haemocyanin was noted, but there were no effects on delayed-type hypersensitivity responses. In a few animals, increased red cell destruction occurred presumably as a result of monkey anti-drug antibodies coating the red cells. A corresponding increase in reticulocyte counts seen in these monkeys was indicative of a regenerative response in the bone marrow.
Intravenous administration of ofatumumab to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys at 100 mg/kg once weekly from days 20 to 50 of gestation did not elicit maternal or foetal toxicity or teratogenicity. At day 100 of gestation, depletion of B-cells relating to the pharmacological activity of ofatumumab were observed in foetal cord blood and foetal splenic tissues. Pre- and post-natal development studies have not been performed. Post-natal recovery has therefore not been demonstrated.
As ofatumumab is a monoclonal antibody, genotoxicity and carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with ofatumumab.

慢性淋巴细胞白血病药Arzerra在欧洲再度获准
欧洲药监局日前批准葛兰素史克和Genmab出品的Arzerra上市销售,该药用于治疗难治型慢性淋巴细胞性白血病(CLL)。去年10月,Arzerra已通过了FDA的批准,此次再度获准在欧洲市场上市,但产品的销售有一定的前提条件,即适用患者范围有限,只能用于那些采用标准药物或化学疗法药氟达拉宾(fludarabine)治疗之后无应答的CLL患者,他们只占这类患者总人数的25%左右。
有条件销售批准主要针对那些疗效显著,但同时用药风险也相对较高的产品。通常这种药物能够满足特定患者的需求,但还没有足够的数据证实它给患者带来的益处大于潜在的风险,从而无法获得完全批准。根据相应要求,葛兰素史克在产品销售之后仍需向欧洲药监局递交补充数据。
分析师认为Arzerra的市场前景甚为乐观,到2013年该药的销售额将达到4.65亿美元左右。但罗氏/ Biogen上个月初在美国对这种药物进行起诉,认为它侵犯了抗癌药Rituxan的专利权,这也许会对产品的销售产生一定的影响。
慢性淋巴细胞白血病药Arzerra临床试验表现良好
丹麦Genmab制药公司公布了其在研新药Arzerra在一项中期临床试验中获得的首批数据,该药主要用于从未接受过任何治疗的慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者,由Genmab公司和GSK公司共同研发。 在上述试验中,研究者对61名受试CLL患者采用Arzerra+Fludarabine(氟达拉宾)+ Cyclophosphamide(环磷酰胺)进行治疗。试验结果发现,采用500毫克Arzerra治疗的患者病情完全缓解率为32%,而1000毫克剂量组患者的病情完全缓解率达到50%.此外,500毫克剂量组患者用药后的总体应答率为77%,1000毫克剂量组患者对药物的总体应答率为73%.
Genmab公司表示,在为期30天用药过程中未出现意料之外的安全性问题。该药最常见的副作用为嗜中性白细胞减少(出现几率为48%),其他常见不良反应(出现几率为15%)还包括恶心、呕吐、皮疹、发热、头痛和血小板减少。两个不同剂量受试组用药后出现上述不良反应的概率相当。
用于非霍奇金淋巴瘤的Arzerra 介绍
Genmab公司与葛兰素史克公司合作开发的靶向作用于B细胞上CD20的单克隆抗体Arzerra(通用名为ofatumumab)在与其他抗肿瘤药物联用治疗滤泡性非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)的Ⅱ期临床试验中获得成功。
该项试验考察了不同剂量的Arzerra与环磷酰胺、多柔比星、长春新碱和泼尼松联用治疗NHL的疗效,每3周为1个疗程,共6个疗程, 58名患者被随机分为两组, 第1 个疗程中两组患者均注射 Arzerra 300 mg,其余5个疗程中剂量分别调整至 500或1000mg。结果, 500mg剂量组的总有效率 (ORR)达90% ,其中完全缓解率(CR)为24%; 1000mg剂量组的ORR则达100%, CR为38%;试验中及试验结束后30天内均未见意外安全性问题。常见不良反应包括白细胞和中性粒细胞减少。 Genmab公司总裁L isaDrakeman 博士称:"我们对该项研究的结果感到满意,这预示了Arzerra治疗滤泡性NHL的潜力。"
Genmab公司目前正计划开展另两项研究,进一步考察Arzerra对NHL的疗效,其可能采用的剂量为 1 000mg。此外,一项关于Arzerra治疗风湿性关节炎的Ⅲ期临床研究也在进行中,且初步研究结果显示, 其疗效与基因泰克(Genentech)开发的Rituxan相当。
