Abstract
Protein therapeutics have revolutionized the treatment of a wide range of diseases. While they have distinct physicochemical characteristics that influence their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) properties, the relationship between the physicochemical properties and PK is still largely unknown. In this work we present a minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) model that incorporates a multivariate quantitative relation between a therapeutic's physicochemical parameters and its corresponding ADME properties. The model's compound-specific input includes molecular weight, molecular size (Stoke's radius), molecular charge, binding affinity to FcRn, and specific antigen affinity. Through derived and fitted empirical relationships, the model demonstrates the effect of these compound-specific properties on antibody disposition in both plasma and peripheral tissues using observed PK data in mice and humans. The mPBPK model applies the two-pore hypothesis to predict size-based clearance and exposure of full-length antibodies (150 kDa) and antibody fragments (50-100 kDa) within a onefold error. We quantitatively relate antibody charge and PK parameters like uptake rate, non-specific binding affinity, and volume of distribution to capture the relatively faster clearance of positively charged mAb as compared to negatively charged mAb. The model predicts the terminal plasma clearance of slightly positively and negatively charged antibody in humans within a onefold error. The mPBPK model presented in this work can be used to predict the target-mediated disposition of a drug when compound-specific and target-specific properties are known. To our knowledge, a combined effect of antibody weight, size, charge, FcRn, and antigen has not been incorporated and studied in a single mPBPK model previously. By conclusively incorporating and relating a multitude of protein's physicochemical properties to observed PK, our mPBPK model aims to contribute as a platform approach in the early stages of drug development where many of these properties can be optimized to improve a molecule's PK and ultimately its efficacy.

Abstract
Motivated by a series of work demonstrating the effect of molecular charge on antibody pharmacokinetics (PK), physiological-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are emerging that relate in silico calculated charge or in vitro measures of polyspecificity to antibody PK parameters. However, only plasma data has been used for model development in these studies, leading to unvalidated assumptions. Here, we present an extended platform PBPK model for antibodies that incorporate charge-dependent endothelial cell pinocytosis rate and nonspecific off-target binding in the interstitial space and on circulating blood cells, to simultaneously characterize whole-body disposition of three antibody charge variants. Predictive potential of various charge metrics was also explored, and the difference between positive charge patches and negative charge patches (i.e., PPC-PNC) was used as the charge parameter to establish quantitative relationships with nonspecific binding affinities and endothelial cell uptake rate. Whole-body disposition of these charge variants was captured well by the model, with less than 2-fold predictive error in area under the curve of most plasma and tissue PK data. The model also predicted that with greater positive charge, nonspecific binding was more substantial, and pinocytosis rate increased especially in brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen, but remained unchanged in adipose, bone, muscle, and skin. The presented PBPK model contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms governing the disposition of charged antibodies and can be used as a platform to guide charge engineering based on desired plasma and tissue exposures.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) model in quantifying the relationships between the charge and pharmacokinetics (PK) of therapeutic monoclonal IgG antibody (TMAb). METHODS PK data used in this study were native IgG and five humanized anti-HCVE2-IgG antibodies in rats. Different models that related the effect of charge on interstitial distribution, transcapillary transport, and cellular uptake for FcRn-mediated metabolism were tested. External validation was conducted to assess if the charge-parameter relationships derived from rats could be used to predict the PK of TMAbs in mice. The final mPBPK model was used to construct the relationships between the FcRn binding and charge on the PK of TMAbs. RESULTS Increasing the isoelectric point (pI) of IgG was associated with higher interstitial space distribution and cellular uptake. The transcapillary transport of IgG from plasma to interstitial space remains constant with pI values below 7.96 and then increased linearly with pI. The model-based simulation results suggested that improving the FcRn binding affinity can overcome the problems of low plasma/interstitial space exposures associated with TMAbs with higher pI values by reducing the FcRn-mediated metabolism and hence increasing drug exposure in the interstitial space that has close contact with many solid tumors. CONCLUSIONS The final mPBPK model was developed and used to construct complex quantitative relationships between the pI/FcRn binding affinity and PK of TMAbs and such relationships are useful to select the discovery of a "sweet spot" of designing future generation of TMAbs with optimal PK properties to achieve desirable plasma and tissue drug exposures.

Abstract
AbstractThis study explores the impact of antibody surface charge on tissue distribution into various tissues including tumor. Tumor-bearing mice were dosed intravenously with a mixture comprising three antibodies engineered to carry negative charge patches, a balanced charge distribution, or positive patches, respectively (cassette dosing). Tissue levels were analyzed with a specific LC-MS/MS method. In addition, the antibody mix was administered to non-tumor bearing mice. Muscle and skin interstitial fluid were obtained by centrifugation and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. An in vitro endothelium model was explored for its feasibility to mimic the observed distribution differences.A balanced charge distribution was optimal in terms of total tumor exposure, while in other tissues, negatively charged and balanced charged antibodies gave similar results. In contrast, positive charge patches generally resulted in increased serum clearance but markedly enhanced tumor and organ uptake, leading to higher tissue-to-serum ratios. The uptake and availability in the interstitial space were confirmed by specific assessment of antibody levels in the interstitial fluid of the muscle and skin, with similar charge impact as in total tissue. The in vitro model was able to differentiate the transport propensity of this series of antibody variants. In summary, our results show the differential effects of charge patches on an antibody surface on biodistribution and tumor uptake. These insights may help in the design of molecules with biodistribution properties tailored to their purpose, and an optimized safety profile.

Abstract
Subcutaneously injected formulations have been developed for many biological products including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). A knowledge gap nonetheless remains regarding the absorption and catabolism mechanisms and kinetics of a large molecule at the administration site. A multiscale pharmacokinetic (PK) model was thus developed by coupling multiphysics simulations of subcutaneous (SC) absorption kinetics with whole-body pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling, bridged by consideration of the presystemic clearance by the initial lymph. Our local absorption simulation of SC-injected albumin enabled the estimation of its presystemic clearance and led to the whole-body PK modeling of systemic exposure. The local absorption rate of albumin was found to be influential on the PK profile. Additionally, nineteen mAbs were explored via this multiscale simulation and modeling framework. The computational results suggest that stability propensities of the mAbs are correlated with the presystemic clearance, and electrostatic charges in the complementarity-determining region influence the local absorption rate. Still, this study underscores a critical need to experimentally determine various biophysical characteristics of a large molecule and the biomechanical properties of human skin tissues.

Abstract
Minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) models are frequently used to model plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) data and utilize and yield physiologically relevant parameters. Compared with classical compartment and whole-body physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling approaches, mPBPK models maintain a structure of intermediate physiological complexity that can be adequately informed by plasma PK data. In this tutorial, we present a MATLAB-based tool for the modeling and simulation of mPBPK models (ATLAS mPBPK) of small and large molecules. This tool enables the users to perform the following: (i) PK data visualization, (ii) simulation, (iii) parameter optimization, and (iv) local sensitivity analysis of mPBPK models in a simple and efficient manner. In addition to the theoretical background and implementation of the different tool functionalities, this tutorial includes simulation and sensitivity analysis showcases of small and large molecules with and without target-mediated drug disposition.

Abstract
A theoretical understanding of hydrostatic pressure-fluid volume relationships, or equations of state, of interstitial fluid in skin and skeletal muscle through mathematical/physical modeling is lacking. Here, we investigate at the microscopic level forces that seem to underlie and determine the movements of fluid and solid tissue elements on the microscopic as well as on the macroscopic level. Effects that occur during variation of hydration due to interaction between expanding glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and the collagen interstitial matrix of tissue seem to be of major importance. We focus on these interactions that let effects from spherical GAGs expand and contract relative to collagen on the microscopic level as hydration changes and thereby generate a hydration-dependent electrostatic pressure on the extracellular matrix on the microscopic level. This pressure spreads to macroscopic levels and become a key factor for setting up equations of state for skin and skeletal muscle interstitia. The modeling for a combined skeletal muscle and skin tissue is one dimensional, i.e., a flat box that may mimic central transverse parts of tissue with more complex geometry. Incorporating values of GAG and collagen densities and fluid contents of skin and muscle tissues that are of an order of magnitude found in literature into the model gives interstitial hydrostatic pressure- fluid volume relationships for these tissues that agree well with experimental results.

Abstract
For therapeutic biologics against soluble ligands, the magnitude and duration of target suppression affect their therapeutic efficacy. Many factors have been evaluated in relation to target suppression but the interstitial fluid turnover rate in target tissues has not been considered. Inspired by the fact that etanercept exerts limited efficacy in Crohn's disease despite its high efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis, we developed a minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetic model to investigate the role of the tissue fluid turnover rate on soluble target suppression and assessed the interrelationships between binding constants and tissue fluid turnover. Interstitial fluid turnover rates in target tissues were found to strongly influence target binding kinetics. For tissues with low fluid turnover, stable binders (low koff) exhibit greater target suppression, but efficacy is often restricted by accumulation of the drug-target complex. For tissues with high fluid turnover, fast binders (high kon) are generally favored, but a plateau effect is present for antibodies with low dissociation rates (koff). Etanercept is often regarded as a fast tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) binder (high kon) despite comparable binding affinity (KD, koff/kon) with adalimumab and infliximab. Crohn's disease largely involves the colon, a tissue with relatively slower fluid turnover than arthritis-associated joint synovium; this may explain why etanercept exerts poor TNF-α suppressive effect in Crohn's disease. This study highlights the importance of tissue interstitial fluid turnover in evaluation of therapeutic antibodies bound to soluble antigens.

Abstract
Thrombin is a pleiotropic enzyme best known for its contribution to fibrin formation and platelet aggregation during vascular hemostasis. There is increasing evidence to suggest a role for thrombin in the development of interstitial fibrosis, but interstitial thrombin has not been demonstrated by the direct determination of activity. Rather its presence is inferred by products of thrombin action such as fibrin and activated fibroblasts. This review will focus on possible mechanisms of thrombin formation in the interstitial space, the possible actions of thrombin, processes regulating thrombin activity in the interstitial space, and evidence supporting a role for thrombin in fibrosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Integration of targeted therapy and additional chemotherapy options has improved median overall survival (OS) in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Cetuximab and panitumumab are examples of targeted therapies, specifically against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This review focuses on Panitumumab, a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody, which inhibits key oncogenic downstream cell signalling pathways. Panitumumab and cetuximab have improved tumour response rate, progression-free survival, and OS in mCRC patients in whom the RAS (Rat Sarcoma) gene is of Wild Type (WT) status. AREAS COVERED The EGFR signalling pathway and preclinical, Phase I and Phase II clinical studies on the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and safety evaluation of panitumumab are presented. Phase III studies utilising panitumumab in the first, second and third line setting in mCRC are also described. EXPERT OPINION Panitumumab exhibits excellent pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics by way of uncomplicated dosing, non-existent drug interactions, minimal infusion reactions and manageable side effects, making it a suitable target for combination treatments. However, innate and acquired resistances are still obstacles. To overcome this, experimented strategies are ongoing, particularly in patients with Her-2 and BRAF gene alterations. Novel biomarkers to improve patient selection and second-generation targeted antibodies are in development.

Abstract
Although many studies have evaluated the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of low molecular weight molecules, there is limited information regarding effects on monoclonal antibodies. Our previous studies have reported significant increases in total (2-4 fold) and renal (100-300 fold) clearance of human IgG, an antibody isotype, in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. Pioglitazone treatment incompletely reversed the disease-related PK changes. The objective of this study was to construct a mechanistic model for simultaneous fitting plasma and urine data, to yield physiologically relevant PK parameters. We propose an extended minimal physiologically based PK (mPBPK) model specifically for IgG by classifying organs as either leaky or tight vascular tissues, and adding a kidney compartment. The model incorporates convection as the primary mechanism of IgG movement from plasma into tissues, interstitial fluid (ISF) in extravascular distribution space, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), sieving coefficient and fraction reabsorbed in the kidney. The model captured the plasma and urine PK profiles well, and simulated concentrations in ISF. The model estimated a 2-4 fold increase in nonrenal clearance from plasma and 30-120 fold increase in renal clearance with T2DM, consistent with the experimental findings, and these differences in renal clearance were related to changes in GFR, sieving coefficient, and proximal tubular reabsorption. In conclusion, the mPBPK model offers a more relevant approach for analyzing plasma and urine IgG concentration-time data than conventional models and provides insight regarding alterations in distributional and elimination parameters occurring with T2DM.

Abstract
Collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) constituting the ECM may limit the space available and thus exclude macromolecules from a fraction of the interstitial fluid (IF) phase. This exclusion phenomenon is of importance for transcapillary fluid and solute exchange. The purpose of the study was to examine the range of interstitial exclusion in rat skin by using probes within a span of molecular weights and electrical charge and also to test if a change in interstitial composition, occurring as a consequence of aging, affected exclusion. To this end, we used a novel approach, involving the exact determination of albumin concentration and mass in IF and tissue eluate by HPLC and thereafter, expressing the corresponding numbers relative to albumin for a set of probe proteins assessed by quantitative proteomics. Albumin was excluded from 55±4% (n=8) of the extracellular fluid phase. There was a highly significant, positive correlation between probe Stokes-Einstein (SE) radius and fractional excluded volume (VEF), described by VEF=0.078·SE radius+0.269 (P<0.001), and oppositely, a negative correlation between probe isoelectric point (pI) and exclusion for proteins with comparable size, VEF=-0.036·pI+0.719 (P=0.04). Aging resulted in a significant reduction in skin hydration and sulfated GAGs, a moderate increase in hyaluronan, and a corresponding, reduced VEF for albumin and the other macromolecular probes. Our findings suggest that the changes in the ECM in aged skin may result in delayed adjustments of fluid perturbations and reduced ability for salt storage.

Survey of monoclonal antibody disposition in man utilizing a minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model. J Pharmacokinet Pharmacodyn 2014; 41:571-80.

Abstract
Minimal physiologically based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) models provide a simple and sensible approach that incorporates physiological elements into pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis when only plasma data are available. With this modeling concept, a second-generation mPBPK model was further developed with specific accommodations for the unique PK properties of monoclonal antibodies (mAb). This study applied this model to extensively survey mAb PK in man in order to seek general perspectives on mAb distributional and elimination features. Profiles for 72 antibodies were successfully analyzed with this model. The model results provide assessment regarding: (1) predominant clearance site, in plasma or interstitial fluid (ISF); (2) mAb ISF concentrations in two groups of lumped tissues with continuous (V(tight)) or fenestrated (V(leaky)) vascular endothelium; (3) Transcapillary escape rate (TER), an indicator of systemic vascular permeability. For 93% of surveyed mAbs, the model assuming clearance from plasma (CL) produced better or at least equivalent model performance than the model with clearance from ISF and yielded most consistent values of vascular reflection coefficients (σ1 and σ2) among all antibodies. The average mAb ISF concentration in V(tight) and V(leaky) at equilibrium was predicted to be about 6.8 and 37.9% of that in plasma. A positive correlation was detected between plasma clearance and TER among most mAbs, which could be interpreted as both parameters having common determinants related to ISF tissue distribution in this model context. The mAbs with relative higher plasma clearance (>0.035 L/h/70 kg) did not reveal such positive correlation between clearance and TER, implying that the factors contributing to high clearance may not necessarily increase tissue distribution and penetration. In conclusion, this mPBPK model offers a more mechanistic approach for analyzing plasma mAb PK than compartment models and generates parameters providing useful intrinsic distributional and elimination insights for a large number of mAbs that were examined in man.

Abstract
Target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) usually accounts for nonlinear pharmacokinetics (PK) of drugs whose distribution and/or clearance are affected by their targets owing to high affinity and limited capacity. TMDD is frequently reported for monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for such reason. Minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic models (mPBPK), which accommodate the unique PK behaviors of mAb, provide a general approach for analyzing mAbs PK and predicting mAb interstitial concentrations in two groups of tissues. This study assessed the feasibility of incorporating TMDD into mPBPK models to consider target-binding in either plasma (cTMDD) or interstitial fluid (ISF) (pTMDD). The dose-related signature profiles of the pTMDD model reveal a parallel early decay phase, in contrast with the cTMDD model that exhibits a faster initial decline for low doses. The parallel early phase in the pTMDD model is associated with the slow perivascular extravasation of mAb, which restricts the initial decline regardless of interstitial target-mediated elimination. The cTMDD and pTMDD models both preserve the long terminal phase that is typically perceived in conventional two-compartment (2CM) and TMDD models. Having TMDD in ISF impacts the typical relationships between plasma concentrations and receptor occupancy, and between saturation of apparent nonlinear clearance and saturation of receptors. The vascular reflection coefficient (σ v ) was found to affect receptor occupancy in ISF. In the cTMDD model, saturation of nonlinear clearance is equivalent to saturation of receptors. However, in the pTMDD model, they are no longer equal and all parameters pertaining to receptors or receptor binding (R total , K D , K ss , k int ) shifts such relationships. Different TMDD models were utilized in analyzing PK for seven mAbs from digitized literature data. When the target is in plasma, the cTMDD model performed similarly to the 2CM and TMDD models, but with one less system parameter. When the target exists in ISF, the pTMDD functioned well in analyzing only plasma data to reflect interstitial target binding properties. Assigning TMDD consistent with target-expressing tissues is important to obtain reliable characterizations of receptors and receptor binding. The mPBPK model exhibits excellent feasibility in integrating TMDD not only in plasma but also in ISF.

Abstract
The presence of collagen and charged macromolecules like glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the interstitial space limits the space available for plasma proteins and other macromolecules. This phenomenon, known as interstitial exclusion, is of importance for interstitial fluid volume regulation. Physical/mathematical models are presented for calculating the exclusion of electrically charged and neutral macromolecules that equilibrate in the interstitium under various degrees of hydration. Here, a central hypothesis is that the swelling of highly electrically charged GAGs with increased hydration shields parts of the neutral collagen of the interstitial matrix from interacting with electrically charged macromolecules, such that exclusion of charged macromolecules exhibits change due to steric and charge effects. GAGs are also thought to allow relatively small neutral, but also charged macromolecules neutralized by a very high ionic strength, diffuse into the interior of GAGs, whereas larger macromolecules may not. Thus, in the model, relatively small electrically charged macromolecules, such as human serum albumin, and larger neutral macromolecules such as IgG, will have quite similar total volume exclusion properties in the interstitium. Our results are in agreement with ex vivo and in vivo experiments, and suggest that the charge of GAGs or macromolecular drugs may be targeted to increase the tissue uptake of macromolecular therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Minimal physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (mPBPK) models provide a sensible modeling approach when fitting only plasma (or blood) data yielding physiologically-relevant PK parameters that may provide more practical value than parameters of mammillary models. We propose a second-generation mPBPK model specifically for monoclonal antibodies (mAb) by including (lumping) several essential components of mAb PK used in full PBPK models. These components include convection as the primary mechanism of antibody movement from plasma into tissues and return to plasma with interstitial fluid as the major extravascular distribution space. The model divides tissue spaces into two groups according to their vascular endothelial structure, leaky and tight, which consequently allows discernment of two types and general sites of distribution. This mPBPK model was applied to two mAbs in mice and ten mAbs with linear kinetics in humans. The model captured their plasma PK profiles well with predictions of concentrations in interstitial fluid for two types of tissues. Predictions of tissue concentrations for mAb 7E3 and 8C2 were consistent with actual measurements in mice, indicating the feasibility of this model in assessing extravascular distribution in the two categories of tissues. The vascular reflection coefficients (σ₁) of tight tissues (V(tight)) ranged 0.883-0.987 and coefficients (σ₂) for leaky tissues (V(leaky)) ranged 0.311 to 0.837. The plasma clearance (CL(p)) varied among the mAbs in humans from 0.0054 to 0.03 L/h. In addition, applying this model generates parameters for mAb transcapillary escape rates and assesses major sites of elimination. Four of ten mAbs exhibited better fitting statistics premised on elimination from interstitial fluid than from plasma. This approach allows comparisons of mAb PK when only plasma data are available, provides more realistic parameters and predictions than mammillary models, and may provide an intermediate step towards utilizing full PBPK models for mAbs.

Abstract
The interstitium describes the fluid, proteins, solutes, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) that comprise the cellular microenvironment in tissues. Its alterations are fundamental to changes in cell function in inflammation, pathogenesis, and cancer. Interstitial fluid (IF) is created by transcapillary filtration and cleared by lymphatic vessels. Herein we discuss the biophysical, biomechanical, and functional implications of IF in normal and pathological tissue states from both fluid balance and cell function perspectives. We also discuss analysis methods to access IF, which enables quantification of the cellular microenvironment; such methods have demonstrated, for example, that there can be dramatic gradients from tissue to plasma during inflammation and that tumor IF is hypoxic and acidic compared with subcutaneous IF and plasma. Accumulated recent data show that IF and its convection through the interstitium and delivery to the lymph nodes have many and diverse biological effects, including in ECM reorganization, cell migration, and capillary morphogenesis as well as in immunity and peripheral tolerance. This review integrates the biophysical, biomechanical, and biological aspects of interstitial and lymph fluid and its transport in tissue physiology, pathophysiology, and immune regulation.

Abstract
Intravascular tracer washout data obtained from gastrocnemius muscle of lean Zucker rats (LZRs) and obese Zucker rats (OZRs) were analysed to investigate flow distributions in the OZR, a model of non-atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease. A computer model used to simulate the network washout curves was developed based on experimentally observed relative dispersions in large vessels and asymmetrical flow distributions at bifurcations in dichotomous microvascular networks. The model results of simulations were compared to experimental washout data of (125)I-labelled albumin, an intravascular tracer, to uncover flow distributions on the arterial-network and capillary levels. The lean and obese Zucker rats demonstrated distinct capillary-level flow distributions, with higher dispersion and significantly more low-flow capillaries in the OZRs than in the LZRs. Targeted pharmacological treatments against identified sites of vascular dysfunction in OZRs (adrenoreceptor blockade with phentolamine, antioxidant treatment with Tempol and thromboxane receptor antagonism with SQ-29548) were shown to improve the capillary-level flow distributions in treated OZRs toward distributions determined in control LZRs. Combination therapy with multiple pharmacological interventions resulted in a greater degree of recovery. This study demonstrates that the enhanced perfusion heterogeneity at arteriole bifurcations is a potential mechanism underlying perfusion-demand mismatching in OZRs, and suggests that amelioration of this dysfunction must involve a multi-faceted interventional approach.

Abstract
Panitumumab is a recombinant, fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody directed against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It is indicated for use as monotherapy in the treatment of patients with EGFR-expressing metastatic colorectal cancer after disease progression with standard chemotherapy. The currently indicated dose is 6 mg/kg given every 2 weeks. Panitumumab is mainly distributed into the vascular space and exhibits nonlinear pharmacokinetics that are consistent with target-mediated drug disposition, involving saturable binding to EGFR and subsequent internalization and degradation inside the cells. Panitumumab is also cleared in a linear fashion by the reticuloendothelial system, similarly to other endogenous immunoglobulins. After single-dose administration of panitumumab as a 1-hour intravenous infusion, the area under the serum concentration-time curve increases in a greater-than-dose-proportional manner as the dose increases from 0.75 to 5 mg/kg; however, at doses above 2 mg/kg, the exposure to panitumumab increases in a dose-proportional manner. Panitumumab pharmacokinetics are not meaningfully affected by the tumour type, EGFR membrane expression, tumour KRAS mutation, sex, age, race or renal or hepatic dysfunction. In addition, irinotecan-containing and paclitaxel/carboplatin-containing chemotherapeutic regimens do not appear to affect panitumumab pharmacokinetics. The results of population pharmacokinetic analyses have shown that bodyweight is the most influential covariate on panitumumab exposure, supporting the current use of bodyweight-adjusted doses (mg/kg). The relationship between the weekly dose of panitumumab and skin rash, an on-target pharmacodynamic effect of EGFR inhibition, reaches a plateau at 2.5 mg/kg, indicating that this is the optimal weekly dose. Two less-frequent dosing regimens (6 mg/kg given every 2 weeks and 9 mg/kg given every 3 weeks) achieve steady-state serum trough concentrations similar to those achieved by 2.5 mg/kg given every week, ensuring maximal EGFR coverage. Anti-panitumumab antibody production is uncommon and does not appear to have an impact on the pharmacokinetics of panitumumab.

Abstract
Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody targeted to the extracellular domain of human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A comprehensive population pharmacokinetic model of panitumumab was developed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling of 1200 patients with advanced solid tumors in 14 clinical studies. The disposition of panitumumab was best described with a 2-compartment model with parallel linear and nonlinear (Michaelis-Menten) elimination pathways. For a typical male patient with colorectal cancer (80 kg, 60 years old), the estimates for the linear clearance (CL), the maximum nonlinear clearance (V(max)/K(m)), the central volume of distribution (V(1)), the peripheral volume of distribution (V(2)), and the Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) are 0.273 L/d, 28.4 L/d, 3.95 L, 2.59 L, and 0.426 mcg/mL, respectively. Baseline covariates such as body weight, cancer type, age, sex, and race were studied for their influence on panitumumab pharmacokinetics. Body weight was found to be the most influential covariate on panitumumab exposure, affecting CL, V(max), and V(1). The administration of concomitant chemotherapy (IFL, FOLFIRI, or paclitaxel/carboplatin) or intensity of baseline tumor EGFR expression did not alter the pharmacokinetics of panitumumab. The presence of antipanitumumab antibodies in patients (immunogenicity rate 3.4%) did not appear to affect panitumumab exposure substantially (AUC difference 8%). In support of a new drug application in Japan, the model was used to assess panitumumab pharmacokinetics in Japanese patients compared to other racial groups; there were no significant differences in model-predicted steady-state panitumumab AUC, C(max), or C(min) after accounting for the effect of body weight.

Abstract
Pulmonary gas exchange critically depends upon the hydration state and the thinness of the interstitial tissue layer within the alveolo-capillary membrane. In the interstitium, fluid freely moving within the fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) equilibrates with water chemically bound to hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans (PGs). The dynamic equilibrium between these two phases is set and maintained by the transendothelial fluid and solutes exchanges, by the convective outflows into the lymphatic system, and by the mechanical and hydrophilic properties of the solid elements of the ECM. The fibrous ECM components, in particular the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CS-PG) and the heparan-sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG) families, play a major role in the maintenance of tissue fluid homeostasis. In fact, they provide: (a) a perivascular and interstitial highly restrictive sieve with respect to plasma proteins, thus modulating both interstitial protein concentration and transendothelial fluid filtration; (b) a mechanical support to lymphatic vessels sustaining and modulating their draining function, and (c) a rigid three-dimensional low-compliant scaffold opposing fluid accumulation into the interstitial space. Fragmentation of PG induced by increased plasma volume, by degradation through proteolytic or inflammatory agents, by exposure to inspiratory gas mixture with modified oxygen fraction, or by increased tissue strain/stress invariably results in the progressive loosening of PG intermolecular bonds with other ECM components. The loss of the PGs regulatory functions compromises the protective role of the tissue solid matrix progressively leading to interstitial and eventually severe lung edema.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a significant role in the mechanical behaviour of the lung parenchyma. The ECM is composed of a three-dimensional fibre mesh that is filled with various macromolecules, among which are the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs are long, linear and highly charged heterogeneous polysaccharides that are composed of a variable number of repeating disaccharide units. There are two main types of GAGs: nonsulphated GAG (hyaluronic acid) and sulphated GAGs (heparan sulphate and heparin, chondroitin sulphate, dermatan sulphate, and keratan sulphate). With the exception of hyaluronic acid, GAGs are usually covalently attached to a protein core, forming an overall structure that is referred to as proteoglycan. In the lungs, GAGs are distributed in the interstitium, in the sub-epithelial tissue and bronchial walls, and in airway secretions. GAGs have important functions in lung ECM: they regulate hydration and water homeostasis; they maintain structure and function; they modulate the inflammatory response; and they influence tissue repair and remodelling. Given the great diversity of GAG structures and the evidence that GAGs may have a protective effect against injury in various respiratory diseases, an understanding of changes in GAG expression that occur in disease may lead to opportunities to develop innovative and selective therapies in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Convective transport of macromolecules from the peritoneal cavity into tumor is determined by its hydraulic permeability and the pressure gradient. Previous studies showed that establishing a pressure gradient into the tumor failed to result in significant penetration. This study addresses the hypothesis that the extracellular matrix is the major resistance to the penetration of an i.p. injected antibody. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Human ovarian tumors (SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3) were established in the abdominal wall of athymic rats. After anesthesia, the tumor serosal surface was treated for 2 hours with Krebs solution (control), collagenase (37.5 unit/mL), or hyaluronidase (10 unit/mL) followed by 3 hours of convective delivery of radiolabeled IgG. Transport of antibody into the tumor was measured with quantitative autoradiography along with the tumor interstitial pressure, concentration of collagen and hyaluronic acid, and IgG volume of distribution. RESULTS Antibody was excluded from 42% to 53% of tumor extracellular volume. Exposure of tumors to hyaluronidase did not enhance IgG transport despite removal of 90% of the hyaluronan from the exposed tumor. In contrast, collagenase reduced collagen content, lowered tumor interstitial pressure, and markedly enhanced antibody penetration. CONCLUSIONS Reduction of collagen, but not hyaluronan, in the matrix of ovarian xenografts enhanced the transport of i.p. injected antibody. Although high interstitial pressure is a deterrent to convective transport of macromolecules into the tumor parenchyma, the structure of the interstitial matrix provides an inherent resistance, which must be overcome before effective delivery of an antibody.

Abstract
At physiological pH, negatively charged glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix may influence distribution volume of macromolecular probes, a phenomenon of importance for hydration of the interstitium and therefore for body fluid balance. We hypothesized that such charge effect was dependent on hydration. Human serum albumin (HSA) (the pH value for the isoelectric point (pI) = 4.9) was made neutral by cationization (cHSA) (pI = 7.6). Rat dermis was studied in vitro in a specially designed equilibration cell allowing control of hydration. Using a buffer containing labelled native HSA and cHSA, the distribution volumes were calculated relative to that of 51Cr-EDTA, an extracellular tracer. During changes in hydration (H), defined as (wet weight - dry weight) (dry weight)(-1)), the slope of the equation describing the relationship between extracellular fluid volume (V(x)) (in g H2O (g dry weight)(-1)) and H (V(x) = 0.925 H + 0.105) differed significantly from that for available volumes of cHSA (V(a,cHSA) = 0.624 H - 0.538) and HSA (V(a,HSA) = 0.518 H - 0.518). A gradual reduction in H led to a reduction in difference between available volumes for the two albumin species. Screening the fixed charges by 1 m NaCl resulted in similar available and excluded volumes of native HSA and neutral cHSA. We conclude that during gradual dehydration, there is a reduced effect of fixed negative charges on interstitial exclusion of charged macromolecules. This effect may be explained by a reduced hydration domain surrounding tissue and probe macromolecules in conditions of increased electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, screening of negative charges suggested that hyaluronan associated with collagen may influence intrafibrillar volume of collagen and thereby available and excluded volume fraction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite evidence that regional chemotherapy improves the treatment of metastatic peritoneal ovarian carcinoma, monoclonal antibodies have not shown significant success in i.p. delivery. The present study was designed to address the hypothesis that convective penetration of macromolecular antineoplastic agents depends on a positive pressure difference between the i.p. therapeutic solution and the tumor. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Nude rats with human ovarian xenografts implanted in the abdominal wall were used in experiments to facilitate in vivo measurement of tumor pressure and the treatment of the tumor with i.p. solutions at high pressures. Penetration of (125)I-labeled trastuzumab was measured with quantitative autoradiography. RESULTS Tumor pressure profiles showed peak pressures of 32 mm Hg with mean pressures (+/- SD, mm Hg) in 12 SKOV3 tumors of 9.7 +/- 8.3 and in 15 OVCAR3 tumors of 12.5 +/- 7.0. I.p. therapeutic dwells at 6 to 8 mm Hg (maximum feasible pressure) showed significantly less penetration of trastuzumab than in adjacent normal muscle. To establish a driving force for convection into the tumor, various maneuvers were attempted to reduce tumor pressure, including treatment with taxanes or prostaglandin E(1), elimination of tumor circulation, and removal of the tumor capsule. Tumor decapsulation decreased the pressure to zero but did not enhance the penetration of antibody. Binding to specific trastuzumab receptors on each tumor was shown to be not a significant barrier to antibody penetration. CONCLUSIONS The results only partially support our hypothesis and imply that the microenvironment of the tumor is in itself a major barrier to delivery of charged macromolecules.

Abstract
Knowledge of macromolecular distribution volumes is essential in understanding fluid transport within normal and pathological tissues. In this study in vivo we determined the distribution volumes of several macromolecules, including one monoclonal antibody, in tumours and tested whether charges associated with the tumour extracellular matrix influence their available volumes. Steady state levels of the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin) (pI = 9.2), IgG (pI = 7.6) as well as native (pI = 5.0) and cationized albumin (pI = 7.6) were established in rats bearing dimethylbenzanthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary tumours by continuous infusion using osmotic minipumps. After a 5-7 day infusion period, the rats were nephrectomized and the extracellular volume was determined with 51Cr-labelled EDTA. Plasma volumes were measured with 125I-labelled human serum albumin or rat IgM in a separate series. Steady state concentrations of probes were determined in the interstitial fluid that was isolated by centrifugation from tumours or by post mortem wick implantation in the back skin. Calculations were made for interstitial fluid volume (Vi), along with the available (Va/Vi) and excluded (Ve/Vi) relative interstitial volume fractions. The Ve/Vi for the positively charged trastuzumab in tumours averaged 0.29 +/- 0.03 (n = 16), a value which was significantly lower than the corresponding one for IgG of 0.36 +/- 0.02 (n = 16). Native albumin was excluded from 38% of the tumour interstitial fluid, whereas cationization of albumin reduced the excluded volume by approximately 50%. Our experiments suggest that the tumour interstitium acts as a negatively charged matrix and is an important factor in determining the macromolecular distribution volume.

Abstract
In order to estimate the magnitude of electrostatic exclusion provided by the fixed negative charges of the skin and muscle interstitia of rat in vivo we measured the distribution volumes of two differently charged albumin probes within these tissues. An implanted osmotic pump was used to reach and maintain a steady-state extracellular concentration of a mixture containing two iodine-labelled probes: a charged-modified human serum albumin, cHSA (i.e. a positive probe, isoelectirc point (pI) = 7.6) and a native human serum albumin, HSA (i.e. a normally charged, negative probe, pI = 5.0). Steady-state tissue concentrations were achieved after intravenous infusion of probes for 5-7 days. At the end of this period the animals were nephrectomized and a bolus of 51Cr-EDTA was administered for estimating the extracellular volume. Plasma volumes were measured as 5-min distribution volume of 125I-HSA in separate experiments. The steady-state interstitial fluid concentrations of all probes were determined using nylon wicks implanted postmortem. Calculations of labelled probes were made for interstitial fluid volumes (Vi), extravascular albumin distribution volumes (Vav,a) and relative interstitial excluded volume fractions (Vex,a/Vi). We found that the positive probe is excluded from a significantly smaller fraction of the interstitium. Specifically, the average relative albumin exclusion fractions obtained were: 16% and 26% in skeletal muscle and 30% and 40% in skin, for cHSA and HSA, respectively. On average, the fixed negative charges of the interstitium are responsible for about 40% of the total albumin exclusion in skeletal muscle and 25% in the whole skin tissue and thus, contribute significantly to volume exclusion in these tissues.

Abstract
At physiological pH, negatively charged glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix may influence distribution volume of a probe. We hypothesized that by varying the probe charge we would be able to observe a graded response of available volume fraction. Human serum albumin (HSA) (isoelectric point (pI) 5.0) was made more positive by cationization. Using reaction times of 10, 45 and 60 min, cationized HSA (cHSA) with respective pIs of 6.5, 7.3 and 8.0 were made. After eight days of equilibration in a buffer containing labelled native HSA and cHSA, the distribution volumes were calculated relative to that of 51Cr-EDTA, an extracellular tracer. The available volume in fully swollen dermis for native albumin relative to that of the extracellular tracer averaged 0.485+/-0.008 (n=49), with corresponding volumes for cHSA-10 min, cHSA-45 min and cHSA-60 min of 0.554+/-0.012 (n=17), 0.647+/-0.026 (n=17) and 0.718+/-0.021 (n=12), respectively. Increasing the ionic strength of the bathing solution to 1 M NaCl, thereby screening the fixed charges of tissue elements and probes alike, resulted in similar available and thereby excluded volumes of native HSA and neutral cHSA-45 min. These experiments suggest that fixed negative charges, most likely glycosaminoglycans, contribute significantly to interstitial exclusion of charged macromolecules, a phenomenon of importance for hydration of the interstitial fluid phase and therefore for body fluid balance. Moreover, the data indicate that previous findings of similar excluded volumes for the two differently sized major plasma proteins albumin (molecular mass 66 kDa) and IgG (molecular mass 160 kDa) may be explained by a more pronounced electrostatic repulsion of the former by the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
The modifications of the macromolecular sieving properties of the pulmonary extracellular tissue matrix were studied in adult anaesthetized rabbits (n = 10) exposed to increased tissue hydration. Exclusion of albumin from the perivascular pulmonary interstitial space was determined by using the continuous infusion method coupled with direct sampling of interstitial fluid performed through the wick technique. The rabbits underwent an intravenous infusion of saline amounting to 10 (n = 5) or 20 % (n = 5) body weight. Extracellular albumin distribution volume was derived from the steady state tissue concentration of radioactive rabbit serum albumin (125I-RSA). Pulmonary extracellular and intravascular fluid volumes (Vx and Vv, respectively) were measured as distribution volumes of 51Cr-EDTA and 131I-RSA, respectively, and interstitial fluid tracer concentrations were determined in interstitial fluid collected through implanted wicks. At the highest degree of hydration, interstitial fluid volume (Vi = Vx - Vv) and extravascular albumin distribution volume (Va,w) significantly increased by 38.5 and 240.2 %, respectively, compared to control. Albumin-excluded volume (Ve,a = Vi - Va,w) was 398.9 +/- 17 microl (g dry tissue weight)-1; the albumin-excluded volume fraction (Fe,a = Ve,a/Vi) was 0.23 +/- 0.01, 33.2 % of the control value. Data indicate that, at variance with what is observed in tissues like skin and muscle, pulmonary Fe,a is highly sensitive to tissue fluid content.
