SITC 2020看CD47風雲:康方生物二代產品AK117優勢明顯 低劑量即實現最大受體佔位
格隆匯 11-12 09:49

一直被業內認為是繼PD-1/PD-L1之後攻克癌症的重磅“希望”的CD47,2020年熱度可謂不斷提升。在近期召開的SITC會議上,國內CD47最快的三個產品,天境生物的TJC4、信達的IBI88和康方生物的AK117都發布了最新的研究進展。從報告顯示的內容來看,一直低調推進研發的康方生物AK117研究結果給人帶來驚喜。

康方生物在SITC 2020發佈了《一項評估下一代抗CD47單抗(AK117)用於治療復發/難治性的晚期或轉移性實體瘤或淋巴瘤患者的安全性、藥代動力學和抗腫瘤活性的I期臨牀研究》,這是康方生物AK117的首次披露人體臨牀研究進展。

報告顯示,AK117是康方生物研製的第二代CD47抗體,正在澳洲臨牀中心開展晚期實體瘤和淋巴瘤患者的劑量遞增臨牀試驗,20mg/kg隊列的受試者給藥已在籌備中。該研究共設置7個劑量組,從0.3mg/kg至45mg/kg,每週給藥1次,直至疾病進展、毒性不可耐受或其他需要終止治療的情況。報告顯示:

①AK117在已完成的0.3mg/kg,1mg/kg, 3mg/kg和正在進行的10mg/kg的劑量爬坡隊列受試者中均未發生藥物相關的貧血症狀,因此無需使用低劑量誘導(priming dose)。

②各隊列受試者對藥物耐受性良好,無劑量限制性毒性(DLT)事件發生。

受試者外周血T細胞的CD47的受體佔有率(RO)在3mg/kg隊列就已經達到並維持在100%。

雖然寥寥幾句總結,已經展示出AK117在安全性和有效性方面優越性。

第一,安全性是CD47產品當前最被關注的信息。2017-2018年期間,CD47曾因為嚴重的血液不良反應一度被普遍看衰。後來吉利德花了49億美金併購的Forty Seven手中的Magrolimab,通過改良給藥方案,先使用1mg/kg的誘導劑量來清除衰老的紅細胞,並刺激網織紅細胞成熟分化產生新的紅細胞,這些紅細胞在之後較高的30mg/kg的維持劑量下不易被藥物殺傷,所以能夠減輕貧血副作用。

CD47最常見的貧血症狀副作用方面, AK117所有劑量組均未發生藥物相關的貧血症狀,TJC4治療相關貧血發生率為30%,IBI88治療相關貧血發生率為15%。三款產品的數據都顯示無DLT發生。

與Magrolimab改良給藥方案不同的是, AK117,不需要使用功能誘導劑量。正因為此差異,Magrolimab和IBI88在國內被業界稱為一代CD47,而AK117和TJC4被稱為二代CD47。

第二,在藥物活性指標方面。AK117外周血T細胞的CD47的受體佔有率在3mg/kg隊列就已經達到最大佔位,比已知的幾個產品要以更低劑量更早達到最大佔比。從某種意義上説,這個數據或許已經意味着AK117爬坡試驗的基本目的已經達到,二期臨牀的劑量選擇也已經有了可選項。

康方生物發佈的公告也披露了AK117在臨牀前研究的一些信息。AK117在保留抗腫瘤活性的同時,消除了紅細胞凝集作用,並顯著降低其介導的巨噬細胞對紅細胞吞噬活性,展示出了區別於其它抗CD47抗體藥物的差異化特徵:

①AK117不引起紅細胞聚集;

②AK117介導巨噬細胞對紅細胞吞噬的活性顯著弱於對腫瘤細胞的吞噬;

③相較於其他CD47抗體所表現出的明顯貧血症狀,AK117在食蟹猴中僅出現輕微的紅細胞變化,並且未觀察到對血小板的毒性作用。

CD47在2020年熱度不斷提升,先是吉利德花了49億美金併購了手中擁有Magrolimab的Forty Seven,隨後又有艾伯維重金引進天境生物的TJC4。從康方生物披露的信息來看,AK117很有潛力成為CD47賽道下一顆閃亮的新星。
