The pharmacokinetics of hu1124, a human anti-CD11a antibody, were investigated in human subjects with psoriasis. CD11a is a subunit of LFA-1, a cell surface molecule involved in T cell mediated immune responses. Subjects received a single dose of 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1, 2, 3, or 10 mg/kg of hu1124 intravenously over 1–3 hr. Blood samples were collected at selected times from 60 min to 72 days after administration. Plasma samples were assayed for hu1124 by ELISA, and pharmacokinetic analyses were performed on the drug plasma concentrations. As the dose of hu1124 was increased, the clearance decreased from 322 ml/day per kg at 0.1 mg/kg to 6.6 ml/day per kg at 10 mg/kg of hu1124. The plasma hu1124 concentration–time profile suggested that the clearance of hu1124 was saturable above 10 μg/ml. In addition, treatment with hu1124 caused a rapid reduction in the level of CD11a expression on CD3-positive lymphocytes (T cells) to about 25% of pretreatment levels. Regardless of the hu1124 dose administered, cell surface CD11a remained at this reduced level as long as hu1124 was detectable (>0.025 μg/ml) in the plasma. When hu1124 levels fell below 3 μg/ml, the drug was rapidly cleared from the circulation and expression of CD11a returned to normal within 7–10 days thereafter....
