- Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate in the development for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive cancers. Thrombocytopenia (TCP) is the dose-limiting toxicity of T-DM1. A semimechanistic population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model was developed to characterize the effect of T-DM1 on patient platelet counts. A PK/PD model with transit compartments that mimic platelet development and circulation was fit to concentration-platelet-time course data from two T-DM1 single-agent studies (TDM3569g; N = 52 and TDM4258g; N = 112). NONMEMA (R) 7 software was used for model development. Data from a separate phase II study (TDM4374g; N = 110) were used for model evaluation. Patient baseline characteristics were evaluated as covariates of model PD parameters. The model described the platelet data well and predicted the incidence of grade a parts per thousand yen3 TCP. The model predicted that with T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg given every 3 weeks (q3w), the lowest platelet nadir would occur after the first dose. Also predicted was a patient subgroup (46 %) having variable degrees of downward drifting platelet-time profiles, which were predicted to stabilize by the eighth treatment cycle to platelet counts above grade 3 TCP. Baseline characteristics were not significant covariates of PD parameters in the model. This semimechanistic PK/PD model accurately captures the cycle 1 platelet nadir, the downward drift noted in some patient platelet-time profiles, and the similar to 8 % incidence of grade a parts per thousand yen3 TCP with T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg q3w. This model supports T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg q3w as a well-tolerated dose with minimal dose delays or reductions for TCP.

- PurposeAn item response theory (IRT) pharmacometric framework is presented to characterize Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) data in locally-advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients treated with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) or capecitabine-plus-lapatinib.MethodsIn the IRT model, four latent well-being variables, based on FACT-B general subscales, were used to describe the physical, social/family, emotional and functional well-being. Each breast cancer subscale item was reassigned to one of the other subscales. Longitudinal changes in FACT-B responses and covariate effects were investigated.ResultsThe IRT model could describe both item-level and subscale-level FACT-B data. Non-Asian patients showed better baseline social/family and functional well-being than Asian patients. Moreover, patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 had better baseline physical and functional well-being. Well-being was described as initially increasing or decreasing before reaching a steady-state, which varied substantially between patients and subscales. T-DM1 exposure was not related to any of the latent variables. Physical well-being worsening was identified in capecitabine-plus-lapatinib-treated patients, whereas T-DM1-treated patients typically stayed stable.ConclusionThe developed framework provides a thorough description of FACT-B longitudinal data. It acknowledges the multi-dimensional nature of the questionnaire and allows covariate and exposure effects to be evaluated on responses.
