　View Summary

Secondary non-response to infliximab (IFX) occurs in some patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a useful tool to optimize IFX therapy, it is unclear whether it can help to identify the risk of secondary non-response. This study aimed to explore the utility of serum levels of IFX or other biomarkers to predict IFX discontinuation owing to secondary non-response. A single-center, retrospective study was conducted using the Kyoto University Rheumatoid Arthritis Management Alliance cohort database between 2011 and 2020. Serum IFX levels were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. An electrochemiluminescence assay was used to quantify serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 and detect anti-drug antibodies. Eighty-four out of 310 patients were eligible for this study. The cutoff levels of biomarkers were determined by receiver operating characteristic analysis. IFX persistence was similar between groups stratified using IFX levels, tumor necrosis factor-α levels, interleukin-6 levels, and anti-drug antibodies positivity. The group with lower IFX and higher interleukin-6 levels had the worst therapy persistence (p=0.017) and the most frequent disease worsening (90.0%, p<0.001). Evaluating both interleukin-6 and IFX levels, not just IFX alone, enabled us to identify patients at risk of discontinuing IFX treatment. These findings support the utility of measuring IFX and interleukin-6 levels for successful maintenance therapy for RA.

　View Summary

Purpose: Biologics are structurally heterogeneous and can undergo biotransformation in the body. Etanercept (ETN) is a fusion protein composed of a soluble tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor and the Fc portion of human immunoglobulin G1. The N-terminus of ETN has a putative sequence cleaved by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). The purpose of this study was to investigate the biotransformation of ETN in humans and mice and evaluate its effects on functional properties. Methods: An analytical method using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was established. The N-terminal heterogeneity of ETN was assessed in the serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis or mice receiving ETN. The in vitro N-terminal truncation was explored using recombinant DPP-4. The binding affinity to TNF-α or TNF-β was investigated using an in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: In the formulations, about 90% of ETN had an intact N-terminus, while the N-terminal truncated form was most abundant in the serum of the patients with rheumatoid arthritis and mice. Recombinant human DPP-4 cleaved two amino acids from the N-terminus of ETN in vitro. Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, inhibited N-terminal truncation both in vivo and in vitro. However, N-terminal truncation did not affect the binding ability to TNF-α or TNF-β and the pharmacokinetics of ETN. ETN biosimilars exhibited similar characteristics to the reference product in vivo and in vitro. Conclusions: ETN undergoes N-terminal truncation in the body, and DPP-4 cleaves exogenous ETN via N-terminal proteolysis. The application of an MS-based assay will detect novel biotransformation of therapeutic proteins.
