Warnings and precautions

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, and angioedema have occurred after administration of ADBRY. Discontinue ADBRY in the event of a hypersensitivity reaction. ( 5.1 ) Conjunctivitis and Keratitis: Patients should report new onset or worsening eye symptoms to their healthcare provider. ( 5.2 ) Parasitic (Helminth) Infections: Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating treatment with ADBRY. If patients become infected while receiving ADBRY and do not respond to anti-helminth treatment, discontinue treatment with ADBRY until the infection resolves. ( 5.3 ) Risk of Infection with Live Vaccines: Avoid use of live vaccines. ( 5.4 )

5.1 Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported with use of ADBRY. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue ADBRY immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.

5.2 Conjunctivitis and Keratitis Conjunctivitis and keratitis occurred more frequently in atopic dermatitis subjects who received ADBRY. Conjunctivitis was the most frequently reported eye disorder. Most subjects with conjunctivitis or keratitis recovered or were recovering during the treatment period [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Advise patients to report new onset or worsening eye symptoms to their healthcare provider.

5.3 Parasitic (Helminth) Infections Patients with known helminth infections were excluded from participation in clinical studies. It is unknown if ADBRY will influence the immune response against helminth infections by inhibiting IL-13 signaling. Treat patients with pre-existing helminth infections before initiating treatment with ADBRY. If patients become infected while receiving ADBRY and do not respond to antihelminth treatment, discontinue treatment with ADBRY until the infection resolves.

5.4 Risk of Infection with Live Vaccines ADBRY may alter a patient's immunity and increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to initiating therapy with ADBRY, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines during treatment with ADBRY. Limited data are available regarding coadministration of ADBRY with non-live vaccines [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ].

Adverse reactions

The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Conjunctivitis and Keratitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 1%) are upper respiratory tract infections, conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, and eosinophilia.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trials in Adults The safety of ADBRY was evaluated in a pool of 5 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in subjects with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis including three phase 3 Eczema Tralokinumab trials (ECZTRA 1, ECZTRA 2, and ECZTRA 3), a dose-finding trial, and a vaccine response trial. The safety population had a mean age of 37 years; 43% of subjects were female, 67% were White, 21% were Asian, and 9% were Black. In terms of co-morbid conditions, 39% of the subjects had asthma, 49% had hay fever, 36% had food allergy, and 21% had allergic conjunctivitis at baseline. In these 5 atopic dermatitis trials, 1964 subjects were treated with subcutaneous injections of ADBRY, with or without concomitant topical corticosteroids (TCS). A total of 807 subjects were treated with ADBRY for at least 1 year. ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2 compared the safety of ADBRY monotherapy to placebo through Week 52. ECZTRA 3 compared the safety of ADBRY + TCS to placebo + TCS through Week 32. Weeks 0 to 16 (ECZTRA 1, ECZTRA 2, and ECZTRA 3): Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions identified in the pool of 3 trials (ECZTRA 1, ECZTRA 2, and ECZTRA 3) and that occurred at a rate of at least 1% in the ADBRY 300 mg every other week monotherapy group, and in the ADBRY 300 mg every other week + TCS trial, all at a higher rate than placebo during the first 16 weeks of treatment. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥1% of the ADBRY Monotherapy Group or the ADBRY + TCS Group in the Atopic Dermatitis Trials through Week 16 Adverse Reaction ADBRY Monotherapy Pooled analysis of ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2.

PLACEBO ADBRY 300 mg Q2W + TCS PLACEBO + TCS N=1180 n (%) N=388 n (%) N=243 n (%) N=123 n (%) Upper respiratory tract infections Upper respiratory tract infections cluster includes upper respiratory tract infection, viral upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, and nasopharyngitis; mainly reported as common cold. 281 (23.8) 79 (20.4) 73 (30.0) 19 (15.4) Conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis cluster includes conjunctivitis and allergic conjunctivitis. 88 (7.5) 12 (3.1) 33 (13.6) 6 (4.9) Injection site reactions Injection site reactions cluster includes pain, erythema, and swelling. 87 (7.4) 16 (4.1) 27 (11.1) 1 (0.8) Eosinophilia Eosinophilia cluster includes eosinophilia and eosinophil count increased. 17 (1.4) 2 (0.5) 3 (1.2) 0 In the monotherapy trials (ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2) through Week 16, the proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions was 0.7% in the ADBRY 300 mg every other week group and 0% of the placebo group. In the concomitant TCS trial (ECZTRA 3) through Week 16, the proportion of subjects who discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions was 0.8% in the ADBRY 300 mg every other week +TCS group and 0% of the placebo + TCS group. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation in the ADBRY group compared to the placebo group were injection site reaction (0.3% v. 0) and eosinophilia (0.3% v. 0) in ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2; and injection site reaction (0.4% v. 0) and conjunctivitis (0.4% v. 0) in ECZTRA 3. Weeks 16-52 (ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2) and Weeks 16-32 (ECZTRA 3): The safety profile of ADBRY 300 mg every other week with or without TCS during maintenance treatment was consistent with that in the initial 16-week treatment period. In addition, the frequency of adverse reactions with ADBRY 300 mg every other week and every 4 weeks in ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2 was 44% and 34%, respectively, and 43% and 26% with ADBRY 300 mg + TCS every other week and every 4 weeks in ECZTRA 3, respectively. Adverse Reactions from Clinical Trials in Pediatric Subjects 12 Years of Age and Older The safety of tralokinumab was assessed in a trial of 289 subjects 12 to 17 years of age with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (ECZTRA 6). Of the 289 subjects, 195 were treated with ADBRY and 94 were treated with matching placebo. The safety profile of ADBRY in these subjects, assessed through the initial treatment period of 16 weeks and the long-term period of 52 weeks, was comparable to the safety profile from trials in adults with atopic dermatitis. Safety through 268 weeks (ECZTEND) ECZTEND was an open-label, multicenter, long-term extension trial that further assessed the safety of ADBRY for up to 5 years of treatment in adults and pediatric subjects 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who had previously participated in ADBRY trials. The safety data in ECZTEND reflect exposure to ADBRY in 1672 subjects who received 300 mg of ADBRY every two weeks (Q2W), including 1422 exposed for at least 52 weeks, 1184 exposed for at least 104 weeks, 701 exposed for at least 156 weeks, and 33 exposed for at least 264 weeks. The long-term safety profile was consistent with the safety profile observed up to week 16. Specific Adverse Reactions Conjunctivitis and Keratitis Conjunctivitis, including allergic conjunctivitis, was reported in 7.5% of subjects treated with ADBRY 300 mg every other week (29 events per 100 subject-years of exposure) and in 3.1% of subjects treated with placebo (12 events per 100 subject-years of exposure) in the initial treatment period of up to 16 weeks in the pool of 5 trials. In the ADBRY group, 126 subjects reported 145 events of conjunctivitis, with 114 events resolved at the end of initial treatment period. Conjunctivitis led to discontinuation of treatment in 2 subjects. During the initial treatment period of the monotherapy trials (ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2), conjunctivitis was reported in 7.7% of subjects treated with ADBRY 300 mg every other week (30 events per 100 subject-years of exposure). During the maintenance treatment period of the monotherapy trials (ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2) from 16 to 52 weeks, conjunctivitis was reported in 14 (8.9%) subjects treated with ADBRY 300 mg every other week (20 events per 100 subject-years of exposure) and in 10 (6.3%) subjects treated with ADBRY 300 mg every 4 weeks (14 events per 100 subject-years of exposure); and included no serious events, 1 severe event, and 1 event that led to discontinuation. A comparable pattern was seen during the continuation treatment period of an additional 16 weeks in the ADBRY combination trial ECZTRA 3. Keratoconjunctivitis (including 1 atopic keratoconjunctivitis (0.1%)) was reported in 5 (0.3%) subjects (1.2 events per 100 subject-years of exposure) treated with ADBRY and 0% of subjects treated with placebo during the initial treatment period of up to 16 weeks in the pool of 5 trials. Keratoconjunctivitis was reported as resolved in 2 out of 5 subjects by the end of trials. Keratitis (including 1 ulcerative keratitis (0.1%)) was reported in 4 (0.2%) subjects treated with ADBRY (0.9 events per 100 subject-years of exposure) and 1 (0.2%) subject (viral keratitis) treated with placebo (0.6 events per 100 subject-years of exposure) during the initial treatment period of up to 16 weeks in the pool of 5 trials. Keratitis was reported as resolved in all but 1 subject by the end of trials. None of the events were serious or led to treatment discontinuation. During the initial treatment period of the monotherapy trials (ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2), keratitis event rate of 2 per 100 subject-years was reported for ADBRY 300 mg every other week. During the maintenance treatment period of the monotherapy trials (ECZTRA 1 and ECZTRA 2) from 16 to 52 weeks in the ADBRY 300 mg every other week group, keratitis was reported in 1 (0.6%) subject (ulcerative, severe, resolved after discontinuation) at an exposure-adjusted event rate of 1.2 per 100 subject-years, and keratoconjunctivitis (not serious or severe, resolved, not led to discontinuation) was reported in 3 (1.9%) subjects (3.6 events per 100 subject-years of exposure). No events of keratitis or keratoconjunctivitis was reported in ADBRY every 4 weeks or placebo groups. In the continuation treatment period of ECZTRA 3 (from 16 to 32 weeks), there were no additional events of keratitis reported for subjects randomized to ADBRY 300 mg + TCS. Eosinophil Counts ADBRY-treated subjects had a greater mean initial increase from baseline in eosinophil count compared to subjects treated with placebo. The mean and median increases in blood eosinophils from baseline to Week 4 were 190 and 100 cells/mcL, respectively. The increase in the ADBRY-treated subjects declined to baseline level with continued treatment. Eosinophilia (> 5000 cells/mcL) in the initial treatment period of up to 16 weeks was reported in 1.2% in the ADBRY-treated subjects and 0.3% in the placebo-treated subjects. The safety profile for subjects with eosinophilia was comparable to the safety profile for all subjects included in the pool of 5 atopic dermatitis trials.

Overdosage

There is no specific treatment for ADBRY overdose. In the event of overdosage, contact Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) for latest recommendations and monitor the patient for any signs or symptoms of adverse reactions and institute appropriate symptomatic treatment immediately.

Use in specific populations

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ADBRY during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register pregnant patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-877-311-8972 or visiting https://mothertobaby.org/ongoing-study/adbry-tralokinumab/. Risk Summary There are limited data from the use of ADBRY in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. Monoclonal antibodies are actively transported across the placenta (see Clinical Considerations ) . In an enhanced pre-and post-natal developmental study, no adverse developmental effects were observed in offspring born to pregnant monkeys after intravenous administration of tralokinumab-ldrm during organogenesis through parturition at doses up to 10 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses and peaks during the third trimester. Therefore, ADBRY may be present in infants exposed in utero . The potential clinical impact of tralokinumab-ldrm exposure in infants exposed in utero should be considered. Data Animal Data In a pre- and post-natal development study, intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg tralokinumab-ldrm were administered to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys once every week from gestation day 20 to parturition. No maternal or developmental toxicity was observed at doses up to 100 mg/kg/week (10 times the MRHD on a mg/kg basis of 10 mg/kg/week). In an enhanced pre- and post-natal development study, intravenous doses up to 100 mg/kg tralokinumab-ldrm (10 times the MRHD on a mg/kg basis of 10 mg/kg/week) were administered to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys once every week from the beginning of organogenesis to parturition. No treatment-related adverse effects on embryofetal toxicity or malformations, or on morphological, functional, or immunological development were observed in the infants from birth through 6 months of age.

8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of tralokinumab-ldrm in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Maternal IgG is present in breast milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure to ADBRY on the breastfed infant are unknown. The development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for ADBRY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from ADBRY or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of ADBRY have been established for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. Use of ADBRY in this age group is supported by a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ECZTRA 6) in 289 subjects 12 to 17 years of age with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Of the 289 subjects, 195 were treated with ADBRY and 94 were treated with matching placebo. The safety and effectiveness were consistent between subjects 12 to 17 years of age and adult subjects [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14) ] . Safety and effectiveness of ADBRY have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 12 years of age.

8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 1605 subjects exposed to ADBRY in 5 atopic dermatitis trials in the initial treatment period of up to 16 weeks, 77 subjects were 65 years or older. Clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

Description

Tralokinumab-ldrm, an interleukin-13 antagonist, is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody. Tralokinumab-ldrm is produced in mouse myeloma cells by recombinant DNA technology, consists of 1326 amino acids, and has a molecular weight of approximately 147 kilodaltons. ADBRY (tralokinumab-ldrm) injection is a sterile, preservative-free, clear to opalescent, colorless to pale yellow solution for subcutaneous use supplied as either a single-dose prefilled syringe with needle guard in a siliconized Type-1 clear glass syringe or a single-dose autoinjector with a siliconized Type-1 clear glass syringe inside. None of the components of the prefilled syringe, autoinjector or the needle guard are made with natural rubber latex. Each prefilled syringe delivers 150 mg tralokinumab-ldrm in 1 mL and the inactive ingredients: acetic acid (0.3 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.1 mg), sodium acetate trihydrate (6 mg), sodium chloride (5 mg), and Water for Injection, at an approximate pH of 5.5. Each autoinjector delivers 300 mg tralokinumab-ldrm in 2 mL and the inactive ingredients: acetic acid (0.6 mg), polysorbate 80 (0.2 mg), sodium acetate trihydrate (12 mg), sodium chloride (10 mg), and Water for Injection, at an approximate pH of 5.5.

Clinical pharmacology

12.1 Mechanism of Action Tralokinumab-ldrm is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human interleukin-13 (IL-13) and inhibits its interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2). IL-13 is a naturally occurring cytokine of the Type 2 immune response. Tralokinumab-ldrm inhibits the bioactivity of IL-13 by blocking IL-13 interaction with IL-13Rα1/IL-4Rα receptor complex. Tralokinumab-ldrm inhibits IL-13-induced responses including the release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and IgE.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics ADBRY was associated with decreased concentrations of Th2 and Th22 immunity biomarkers in the blood, such as thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), periostin, IL-22, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum IgE. ADBRY decreased expression of keratin 16 and Ki-67 in AD skin, and upregulated protein expression of loricrin. ADBRY suppressed expression of genes in the Th2 pathway, including CCL17, CCL18 and CCL26 as well as markers of Th17- and Th22-regulated genes in lesional skin. The clinical relevance of these is not fully understood. Immune Response to Non-live Vaccines during Treatment Immune responses to non-live vaccines were assessed in a trial in which adult subjects with atopic dermatitis were treated with an initial dose of 600 mg (four 150 mg injections) followed by 300 mg every other week administered as subcutaneous injection. After 12 weeks of ADBRY administration, subjects were vaccinated with a combined tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine, and a meningococcal vaccine. Antibody responses were assessed 4 weeks later. Antibody response to tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis, and a meningococcal vaccine was similar in tralokinumab-ldrm treated and placebo treated subjects. Immune responses to other vaccines were not assessed.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics In adults, the mean (SD) steady-state trough concentration of tralokinumab-ldrm ranged from 98.0 (41.1) mcg/mL to 101.4 (42.7) mcg/mL following administration of ADBRY at 300 mg every other week. Tralokinumab-ldrm exposure increased proportionally over a dosage range up to 2100 mg for a 70 kg subject (30 mg/kg IV) (3.5 times the maximum approved recommended dosage). Steady-state tralokinumab-ldrm concentrations were achieved by week 16 following a 600 mg starting dose and 300 mg every other week. Absorption The absolute bioavailability of tralokinumab-ldrm was estimated to be 76%. The time to maximum tralokinumab-ldrm concentrations (t max ) was 5 to 8 days after administration. Distribution The volume of distribution of tralokinumab-ldrm was estimated to be approximately 4.2 L. Elimination The half-life of tralokinumab-ldrm was 3 weeks and systemic clearance was estimated to be 0.149 L/day. Metabolism Tralokinumab-ldrm is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways. Specific Populations Geriatric Patients, Patients with Renal and Hepatic Impairment No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of tralokinumab-ldrm were observed based on age (ranged from 18 – 92 years), sex, mild to moderate renal impairment, or mild hepatic impairment. The effect of severe renal impairment or moderate to severe hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of tralokinumab-ldrm is unknown. Pediatric Patients In subjects 12 to 17 years of age with atopic dermatitis, the mean (SD) steady-state trough concentration of tralokinumab-ldrm was 59.6 mcg/mL (19.4) and 112.8 mcg/mL (39.2) following administration of ADBRY at 150 mg and 300 mg every other week, respectively. Body Weight The exposure of tralokinumab-ldrm decreases with increasing body weight. After 300 mg dose every 4 weeks, the median tralokinumab-ldrm exposure (AUC) of subjects with body weight of above 100 kg is expected to be 1.46-fold lower than that of subjects weighing below 100 kg [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Drug Interaction Studies Cytochrome P450 Substrates The effects of tralokinumab on the pharmacokinetics of midazolam (CYP3A4 substrate), warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate), metoprolol (CYP2D6 substrate), and caffeine (CYP1A2 substrate) were evaluated in a clinical trial in 18-20 subjects with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis receiving an initial SC dose of 600 mg followed by 300 mg SC every other week for 14 weeks. No clinically significant changes in the exposure (AUC or Cmax) of the CYP450 substrates after multiple tralokinumab administrations were observed compared to that when administered alone.

12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the trials described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other trials, including those of ADBRY or of other tralokinumab products. In ECZTRA 1, ECZTRA 2, and ECZTRA 3, and the vaccine-response trial, the incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) during the initial 16-week treatment period was 1.4% for subjects treated with ADBRY 300 mg every other week and in 1.3% for subjects treated with placebo; neutralizing antibodies were seen in 0.1% of subjects treated with ADBRY and 0.2% of subjects treated with placebo. Across all trial periods, the ADA incidence for subjects who received ADBRY was 4.6%; 0.9% had persistent ADA and 1.0% had neutralizing antibodies. No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics, safety, or efficacy of tralokinumab-ldrm were observed in patients who tested positive for anti-tralokinumab-ldrm antibody (including neutralizing antibodies). In the open-label long-term extension trial (ECZTEND), anti-drug-antibody (ADA) responses were assessed up to 248 weeks and were not associated with any impact on tralokinumab exposure or safety.

Mechanism of action

Tralokinumab-ldrm is a human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human interleukin-13 (IL-13) and inhibits its interaction with the IL-13 receptor α1 and α2 subunits (IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2). IL-13 is a naturally occurring cytokine of the Type 2 immune response. Tralokinumab-ldrm inhibits the bioactivity of IL-13 by blocking IL-13 interaction with IL-13Rα1/IL-4Rα receptor complex. Tralokinumab-ldrm inhibits IL-13-induced responses including the release of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines and IgE.

Pharmacodynamics

ADBRY was associated with decreased concentrations of Th2 and Th22 immunity biomarkers in the blood, such as thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), periostin, IL-22, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and serum IgE. ADBRY decreased expression of keratin 16 and Ki-67 in AD skin, and upregulated protein expression of loricrin. ADBRY suppressed expression of genes in the Th2 pathway, including CCL17, CCL18 and CCL26 as well as markers of Th17- and Th22-regulated genes in lesional skin. The clinical relevance of these is not fully understood. Immune Response to Non-live Vaccines during Treatment Immune responses to non-live vaccines were assessed in a trial in which adult subjects with atopic dermatitis were treated with an initial dose of 600 mg (four 150 mg injections) followed by 300 mg every other week administered as subcutaneous injection. After 12 weeks of ADBRY administration, subjects were vaccinated with a combined tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine, and a meningococcal vaccine. Antibody responses were assessed 4 weeks later. Antibody response to tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis, and a meningococcal vaccine was similar in tralokinumab-ldrm treated and placebo treated subjects. Immune responses to other vaccines were not assessed.

Pharmacokinetics

In adults, the mean (SD) steady-state trough concentration of tralokinumab-ldrm ranged from 98.0 (41.1) mcg/mL to 101.4 (42.7) mcg/mL following administration of ADBRY at 300 mg every other week. Tralokinumab-ldrm exposure increased proportionally over a dosage range up to 2100 mg for a 70 kg subject (30 mg/kg IV) (3.5 times the maximum approved recommended dosage). Steady-state tralokinumab-ldrm concentrations were achieved by week 16 following a 600 mg starting dose and 300 mg every other week. Absorption The absolute bioavailability of tralokinumab-ldrm was estimated to be 76%. The time to maximum tralokinumab-ldrm concentrations (t max ) was 5 to 8 days after administration. Distribution The volume of distribution of tralokinumab-ldrm was estimated to be approximately 4.2 L. Elimination The half-life of tralokinumab-ldrm was 3 weeks and systemic clearance was estimated to be 0.149 L/day. Metabolism Tralokinumab-ldrm is expected to be metabolized into small peptides by catabolic pathways.

No clinically significant changes in the exposure (AUC or Cmax) of the CYP450 substrates after multiple tralokinumab administrations were observed compared to that when administered alone.

Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, fertility

, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Animal studies have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential for tralokinumab-ldrm. No effects on fertility parameters such as reproductive organs, menstrual cycle and sperm analysis were observed in male or female sexually mature cynomolgus monkeys that were subcutaneously administered tralokinumab-ldrm at doses up to 350 mg/animal (10 times the MRHD on a mg/kg basis of 10 mg/kg/week) in females once a week for three consecutive menstrual cycles (maximum of 15 doses) or 600 mg/animal (10 times the MRHD on a mg/kg basis of 10 mg/kg/week) in males once a week for 13 weeks. The monkeys were not mated to evaluate fertility.
