Sumario: | Immune checkpoint blockades prescribed in the neoadjuvant setting are now under active investigation for many types of tumors, and many have shown early success. The primary tumor (PT) and tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) immune factors, along with adequate therapeutic antibody distributions to the PT and TDLN, are critical for optimal immune activation and anti-tumor efficacy in neoadjuvant immunotherapy. However, it remains largely unknown how much of the antibody can be distributed into the PT-TDLN axis at different clinical scenarios. The goal of the current work is to build a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model framework capable of characterizing antibody distribution gradients in the PT-TDLN axis across various clinical and pathophysiological scenarios. The model was calibrated using clinical data from immuno-PET antibody-imaging studies quantifying antibody pharmacokinetics (PK) in the blood, PTs, and TDLNs. The effects of metastatic lesion location, tumor-induced compression, and inflammation, as well as surgery, on antibody concentration gradients in the PT-TDLN axis were characterized. The PBPK model serves as a valuable tool to predict antibody exposures in various types of tumors, metastases, and the associated lymph node, supporting effective immunotherapy. |
