Overview

Atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn are Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein-directed human monoclonal antibodies.

Atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn is a combination of 3 recombinant human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibodies. These antibodies are produced by recombinant DNA technology in Chinese hamster ovary cell culture; each antibody targets and binds to the Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein. The Zaire ebolavirus glycoprotein mediates virus attachment and membrane fusion with the host cell membranes.

The glycoprotein is also expressed on the surface of infected host cells, making it a target for antibodies that can mediate killing of these cells by antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity and/or other effector functions. Atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab bind to 3 non-overlapping epitopes on the glycoprotein, and all 3 antibodies can bind the glycoprotein simultaneously. Maftivimab is a neutralizing antibody that blocks entry of the virus into susceptible cells.

Odesivimab is a non-neutralizing antibody that induces antibody-dependent effector function through Fc gamma receptor type IIIa (FcgammaRIIIa) signaling and binds to the soluble form of the glycoprotein. Atoltivimab combines both neutralization and FcgammaRIIIa signaling activities.

In a live virus infection assay on Vero cells, maftivimab neutralized Mayinga, Kikwit, and Makona strains of Zaire ebolavirus; atoltivimab and odesivimab did not demonstrate any neutralizing activity in this assay. Effector function activity was assessed with a cell line expressing ebolavirus Makona glycoprotein and Jurkat/nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)-luciferase/FcgammaRIIIa reporter effector cells; atoltivimab and odesivimab exhibited FcgammaRIIIa signaling activity at tested concentrations, while maftivimab did not.

No clinical data are available on the development of ebolavirus resistance to atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn, and cell culture development of resistance has not been assessed. In vitro binding activity and/or neutralization activity of the individual components of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn may be affected by amino acid substitutions in viral glycoprotein. Glycoprotein substitution E280G decreased the binding affinity of atoltivimab in vitro by >=186-fold.

Glycoprotein substitutions G528R, N563T, and E564K decreased the binding affinity of maftivimab by >=454-fold, and glycoprotein substitution I274M decreased odesivimab binding affinity by 4.5-fold. However, no glycoprotein substitution impacted the binding affinity of the combination of the 3 antibodies by >2.5-fold. Glycoprotein substitutions W275L and E280G decreased the neutralization potency of atoltivimab, and glycoprotein substitutions G528R, N563T, E564A, and E564K decreased the neutralization potency of maftivimab; no glycoprotein substitutions had a substantial impact on the neutralization potency of the combination of the 3 antibodies.

Glycoprotein substitution W275L resulted in a loss of neutralization activity for atoltivimab, and glycoprotein substitution E564A resulted in a loss of neutralization activity for maftivimab.

Following a single IV infusion containing 1-50 mg/kg of each drug component in healthy adults, the pharmacokinetics of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab-ebgn are linear and dose-proportional. The mean elimination half-life is 21.2, 22.3, and 25.3 days for atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab, respectively. The effect of age (<21 years or >60 years) on the pharmacokinetics of atoltivimab, maftivimab, and odesivimab is unknown.
