- Background
Alemtuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody specific to lymphocyte antigens. It is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody (Campath-1H) that is directed against the 21-28 kD cell surface glycoprotein, CD52. The Campath-1H antibody is an IgG1 kappa with the human variable framework and constant regions, and complementarity-determining regions from a murine (rat) monoclonal antibody (Campath-1G). Alemtuzumab is produced in mammalian cell (Chinese hamster ovary) suspension culture in a medium containing neomycin.4
Alemtuzumab was approved by the FDA in 2001.4 It is marketed as LEMTRADA for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment and CAMPTAH for B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). The dose of alemtuzumab used for B-CLL is much higher than that for MS, and also at more frequent dosing.4,5

Pharmacology
- Indication
LEMTRADA is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including relapsing-remitting disease and active secondary progressive disease, in adults. Because of its safety profile, the use of LEMTRADA should generally be reserved for patients who have had an inadequate response to two or more drugs indicated for the treatment of MS.4 LEMTRADA contains the same active ingredient (alemtuzumab) found in CAMPATH, and CAMPATH is approved for the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), although generally administered at higher and more frequent doses (e.g., 30 mg) than recommended in the treatment of MS.4

Alemtuzumab depletes circulating T and B lymphocytes after each treatment course. In clinical trials, the lowest cell counts occurred 1 month after a course of treatment at the time of the first post-treatment blood count. Lymphocyte counts then increased over time: B cell counts usually recovered within 6 months; T cell counts increased more slowly and usually remained below baseline 12 months after treatment. Approximately 60% of patients had total lymphocyte counts below the lower limit of normal 6 months after each treatment course and 20% had counts below the lower limit of normal after 12 months.4
Reconstitution of the lymphocyte population varies for the different lymphocyte subtypes. At Month 1 in clinical trials, the mean CD4+ lymphocyte count was 40 cells per microliter, and, at Month 12, 270 cells per microliter. At 30 months, approximately half of patients had CD4+ lymphocyte counts that remained below the lower limit of normal.4
- Mechanism of action
The precise mechanism by which alemtuzumab exerts its therapeutic effects in multiple sclerosis is unknown but is presumed to involve binding to CD52, a cell surface antigen present on T and B lymphocytes, and on natural killer cells, monocytes, and macrophages. Following cell surface binding to T and B lymphocytes, alemtuzumab results in antibody-dependent cellular cytolysis and complement-mediated lysis.4 Research suggests that alemtuzumab can also exert immunomodulatory effects through the depletion and repopulation of lymphocytes, including alterations in the number, proportions, and properties of some lymphocyte subsets posttreatment, increasing representation of regulatory T cell subsets, and increasing representation of memory T- and B-lymphocytes.6 The reduction in the level of circulating B and T cells by alemtuzumab and subsequent repopulation may reduce the potential for relapse, which ultimately delays disease progression.6,5

Serum concentrations increased with each consecutive dose within a treatment course, with the highest observed concentrations occurring following the last infusion of a treatment course. The mean maximum concentration was 3014 ng/mL on Day 5 of the first treatment course, and 2276 ng/mL on Day 3 of the second treatment course.4
- Volume of distribution
Alemtuzumab is largely confined to the blood and interstitial space with a central volume of distribution of 14.1 L.4

- Route of elimination
Alemtuzumab is a large-molecule monoclonal antibody and as such, it is cleared primarily through target-mediated clearance and through simple non-target specific IgG clearance mechanisms. Alemtuzumab is not excreted renally or eliminated via cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzymes.6 Alemtuzumab is most likely removed by opsonization via the reticuloendothelial system when bound to B or T lymphocytes.1
- Half-life
The elimination half-life was approximately 2 weeks and was comparable between courses. The serum concentrations were generally undetectable (<60 ng/mL) within approximately 30 days following each treatment course.4
- Clearance
Clearance of alemtuzumab ranged from 0.012 – 0.096 l/h depending on the study, dose group, and anti-alemtuzumab antibody status. The inter-subject variability for clearance was large (58 %). Higher clearance values were observed in cycle 1 compared to cycle 2, with the decrease in clearance from cycle 1 to cycle 2 being less than 20%.6

LEMTRADA induces persistent thyroid disorders [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]. Untreated hypothyroidism in pregnant women increases the risk of miscarriage and may have effects on the fetus including mental retardation and dwarfism. In mothers with Graves’ disease, maternal thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies can be transferred to a developing fetus and can cause neonatal Graves’ disease. In a patient who developed Graves’ disease after treatment with alemtuzumab, placental transfer of anti-thyrotropin receptor antibodies resulted in neonatal Graves’ disease with thyroid storm in her infant who was born 1 year after alemtuzumab dosing.4
When LEMTRADA was administered to pregnant huCD52 transgenic mice during organogenesis (gestation days [GD] 6-10 or GD 11-15) at doses of 3 or 10 mg/kg IV, no teratogenic effects were observed. However, there was an increase in embryo lethality (increased postimplantation loss and the number of dams with all fetuses dead or resorbed) in pregnant animals dosed during GD 11-15. In a separate study in pregnant huCD52 transgenic mice, administration of LEMTRADA during organogenesis (GD 6-10 or GD 11-15) at doses of 3 or 10 mg/kg IV, decreases in B- and T-lymphocyte populations were observed in the offspring at both doses tested.4
In pregnant huCD52 transgenic mice administered LEMTRADA at doses of 3 or 10 mg/kg/day IV throughout gestation and lactation, there was an increase in pup deaths during the lactation period at 10 mg/kg. Decreases in T- and B-lymphocyte populations and in antibody response were observed in offspring at both doses tested.4
Before initiation of LEMTRADA treatment, women of childbearing potential should be counseled on the potential for serious risk to the fetus. To avoid in-utero exposure to LEMTRADA, women of childbearing potential should use effective contraceptive measures when receiving a course of treatment with LEMTRADA and for 4 months following that course of treatment.4
In huCD52 transgenic mice, administration of LEMTRADA prior to and during the mating period resulted in adverse effects on sperm parameters in males and a reduced number of corpora lutea and implantations in females.4
Two MS patients experienced serious reactions (headache, rash, and either hypotension or sinus tachycardia) after a single accidental infusion of up to 60 mg of LEMTRADA. Doses of LEMTRADA greater than those recommended may increase the intensity and/or duration of infusion reactions or their immune effects. There is no known antidote for alemtuzumab overdosage.4
