Antiviral Monoclonal Antibodies - Zaire Ebola Virus Intravenous Vial (Ml)
Last reviewed · Source: First Databank (FDB) drug data
Overview
Atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn are Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein-directed human monoclonal antibodies.
Atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn is a combination of 3 recombinant human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies are produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary cell culture; each antibody targets and binds to the Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein. The Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein mediates virus attachment and membrane fusion with the host cell membranes.
The glycoprotein is also expressed on the surface of infected host cells, making it a target for antibodies that can mediate killing of these cells by antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity and/or other effector functions. Atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab bind to 3 non-overlapping epitopes on the glycoprotein, and all 3 antibodies can bind the glycoprotein simultaneously. Maftivimab is a neutralizing antibody that blocks entry of the virus into susceptible cells.
Odesivimab is a non-neutralizing antibody that induces antibody-dependent effector function through Fc gamma receptor type IIIa (FcgammaRIIIa) signaling and binds to the soluble form of the glycoprotein. Atoltivimab combines both neutralization and FcgammaRIIIa signaling activities.
In a live virus infection assay on Vero cells, maftivimab neutralized Mayinga, Kikwit, and Makona strains of Zaire ebolavirus; atoltivimab and odesivimab did not demonstrate any neutralizing activity in this assay. Effector function activity was assessed with a cell line expressing ebolavirus Makona glycoprotein and Jurkat/nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)-luciferase/FcgammaRIIIa reporter effector cells; atoltivimab and odesivimab exhibited FcgammaRIIIa signaling activity at tested concentrations, while maftivimab did not.
No clinical data are available on the development of ebolavirus resistance to atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn, and cell culture development of resistance has not been assessed. In vitro binding activity and/or neutralization activity of the individual components of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn may be affected by amino acid substitutions in viral glycoprotein. Glycoprotein substitution E280G decreased the binding affinity of atoltivimab in vitro by >=186-fold.
Glycoprotein substitutions G528R, N563T, and E564K decreased the binding affinity of maftivimab by >=454-fold, and glycoprotein substitution I274M decreased odesivimab binding affinity by 4.5-fold. However, no glycoprotein substitution impacted the binding affinity of the combination of the 3 antibodies by >2.5-fold. Glycoprotein substitutions W275L and E280G decreased the neutralization potency of atoltivimab, and glycoprotein substitutions G528R, N563T, E564A, and E564K decreased the neutralization potency of maftivimab; no glycoprotein substitutions had a substantial impact on the neutralization potency of the combination of the 3 antibodies.
Glycoprotein substitution W275L resulted in a loss of neutralization activity for atoltivimab, and glycoprotein substitution E564A resulted in a loss of neutralization activity for maftivimab.
Following a single IV infusion containing 1-50 mg/kg of each drug component in healthy adults, the pharmacokinetics of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn are linear and dose-proportional. The mean elimination half-life is 21.2, 22.3, and 25.3 days for atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab, respectively. The effect of age (<21 years or >60 years) on the pharmacokinetics of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab is unknown.

Drug interactions
No formal drug interaction studies have been performed.
There are no contraindication interactions for this drug.
Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction.
Igg Antibodies And Derivatives/Efgartigimod-Alfa
SEVERITY LEVEL: 2-Severe Interaction: Action is required to reduce the risk of severe adverse interaction.
MECHANISM OF ACTION: The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) prevents catabolism and mediates recycling of IgG and albumin, which leads to their long persistence in the body.(1,2) Efgartigimod-alfa binds to FcRn and may decrease systemic exposure of other ligands of FcRn, like immunoglobulins and IgG-based antibodies.(3)
CLINICAL EFFECTS: The effectiveness of medicines that bind to FcRn may be decreased.(3)
PREDISPOSING FACTORS: None determined.
PATIENT MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer of efgartigimod-alfa states that efgartigimod-alfa should not be combined with long-term use of FcRn-binding medications. If the medication is essential for the patient, efgartigimod-alfa should be discontinued.(3)

The safety and effectiveness of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn for the treatment of Zaire ebolavirus infection has been established in pediatric patients from birth to <18 years of age. Use in this patient population is supported by data from a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial that included 39 pediatric patients, including neonates born to a mother positive for Zaire ebolavirus infection. The 28-day mortality and safety in adult and pediatric patients were similar. An additional 38 pediatric patients from birth to <18 years of age have been treated with atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn in an expanded access program.
Available data from the PALM trial and an expanded access program in which pregnant women with Zaire ebolavirusinfection were treated with atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn demonstrate the high rate of maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity associated with underlying maternal Zaire ebolavirus infection. However, these data are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal/fetal outcome. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted. Human monoclonal antibodies, such as atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn, are transported across the placenta; therefore, the drug has the potential to be transferred from the mother to the developing fetus.
Maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes are poor among pregnant women infected with Zaire ebolavirus. The majority of such pregnancies resulted in maternal death with miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death. Zaire ebolavirus infection is life-threatening for both the mother and fetus, and treatment should not be withheld due to pregnancy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that patients with confirmed Zaire ebolavirus not breast-feed their infants to reduce the risk of postnatal transmission.
There are no data regarding the presence of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn in human milk, effects on the breast-fed infant, or on milk production. Maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) is known to be present in human milk. The effects of local GI exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breast-fed infant to atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn is unknown.
The manufacturer makes no specific dosage recommendations for geriatric patients.
Clinical studies of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn did not include a sufficient number of patients >=65 years of age to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. Of the 154 patients treated with atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn in a clinical trial, 5 patients were >=65 years of age. The limited clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients.
