    Abstract The sensitization potencies of twenty custom-designed monomer-depleted polymeric polyisocyanate prepolymer substances and their associated toluene diisocyanate (TDI), methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) monomer precursors were investigated by means of the mouse Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA). These polymeric prepolymers were designed to represent the structural features and physical-chemical properties exhibited by a broad range of commercial polymeric polyisocyanate prepolymers that are produced from the reaction of aromatic and aliphatic diisocyanate monomers with aliphatic polyether and polyester polyols. The normalization of LLNA responses to the applied (15-45-135 mM) concentrations showed that the skin sensitization potency of polymeric polyisocyanate prepolymers is at least 300 times less than that of the diisocyanate monomers from which they are derived. The sensitization potency of the prepolymers was shown to be mainly governed by their hydrophobicity (as expressed by the calculated octanol-water partition coefficient, log K

    Abstract A theoretical safety concern proposed in the influenza literature is that therapeutic antiviral antibodies could have the potential for antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection and disease. ADE may occur when virus-specific antibodies at subtherapeutic, nonneutralizing concentrations facilitate virus uptake and, in some cases, enhance replication, which can lead to an exacerbation of virus-mediated disease. Alternatively, ADE may occur due to antibody-dependent complement activation exacerbating virus-mediated disease in the absence of increased replication. As a result of this theoretical safety concern, safety assessment of anti-influenza antibodies may include an in vivo evaluation of ADE of infection and/or disease. These studies were conducted to investigate the potential of MHAB5553A, a broadly specific, neutralizing therapeutic anti-influenza B antibody, to elicit ADE of infection and disease in mouse models of influenza B infection. In parallel studies, female DBA/2J mice were infected with either influenza B/Victoria/504/2000 or influenza B/Brisbane/60/2008 representing distinct lineages. Assessment of ADE was based on an integration of results from multiple endpoints, including infectious lung viral titers and genomes, body weight, mortality, lung weight, and histopathology. In these studies, the high dose of 15 mg/kg MHAB5553A resulted in substantial attenuation of influenza pneumonia, with more modest effects at 1.5 mg/kg; whereas MHAB5553A treatment at 0.15 or 0.015 mg/kg was generally comparable to vehicle-treated controls. Our results demonstrate that MHAB5553A across a broad range of doses did not enhance primary influenza B infection or disease in this model, and represent a nonclinical de-risking of the ADE potential with this antibody.

    Abstract The goal of immunotoxicity testing is to obtain data useful for immunotoxicity safety assessment. Guidance in the performance of immunotoxicity safety evaluations is provided in documents from the US EPA for chemicals and the ICH S8 document for pharmaceuticals. The ICH S8 document outlines a tiered approach that includes (1) standard toxicity studies with associated hematology, immune system organ weights, and histopathology data; (2) functional assays, such as cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) assays, natural killer (NK) cell assays, respiratory burst, phagocytosis, and T-cell-dependent antibody response (TDAR) assays; and (3) host resistance assays. Host resistance assays are considered the gold standard in immunotoxicity testing and provide a critical overview of the extent to which innate, adaptive, and homeostatic regulatory immune functions are integrated to protect the host. Both comprehensive and targeted host resistance assays are available, each with distinct advantages. This chapter serves to provide a general overview of the various assays that may be used, as well as a summary of procedures.

    Abstract BLZ-100 is a single intravenous use, fluorescent imaging agent that labels tumor tissue to enable more complete and precise surgical resection. It is composed of a chlorotoxin peptide covalently bound to the near-infrared fluorophore indocyanine green. BLZ-100 is in clinical development for intraoperative visualization of human tumors. The nonclinical safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of BLZ-100 was evaluated in mice, rats, canines, and nonhuman primates (NHP). Single bolus intravenous administration of BLZ-100 was well tolerated, and no adverse changes were observed in cardiovascular safety pharmacology, PK, and toxicology studies in rats and NHP. The single-dose no-observed-adverse-effect-levels (NOAELs) were 7 mg (28 mg/kg) in rats and 60 mg (20 mg/kg) in NHP, corresponding to peak concentration values of 89 400 and 436 000 ng/mL and area-under-the-curve exposure values of 130 000 and 1 240 000 h·ng/mL, respectively. Based on a human imaging dose of 3 mg, dose safety margins are >100 for rat and monkey. BLZ-100 produced hypersensitivity reactions in canine imaging studies (lethargy, pruritus, swollen muzzle, etc). The severity of the reactions was not dose related. In a follow-up study in dogs, plasma histamine concentrations were increased 5 to 60 minutes after BLZ-100 injection; this coincided with signs of hypersensitivity, supporting the conclusion that the reactions were histamine based. Hypersensitivity reactions were not observed in other species or in BLZ-100 human clinical studies conducted to date. The combined imaging, safety pharmacology, PK, and toxicology studies contributed to an extensive initial nonclinical profile for BLZ-100, supporting first-in-human clinical trials.
