Background Etrolizumab, a humanized anti-β7 antibody, has not been studied in children. Here, we evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of etrolizumab in children with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods Patients age 4 to 17 years with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease were randomized 1:1 to receive 1.5mg/kg of etrolizumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks (q4w) or 3.0mg/kg every 8 weeks (q8w) for 16 weeks in this open-label phase 1 trial. Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and efficacy were assessed. Results Of the 24 patients treated, 21 completed the study. In the groups of 1.5mg/kg q4w and 3.0mg/kg q8w, respectively, mean (SD) maximum concentration (Cmax) was 9.8 (4.86) µg/mL and 18.1 (6.25) µg/mL; and mean (SD) area under the curve within a dosing interval (AUCtau) was 167 (86.9) and 521 (306) μg·day/mL after the last dose. The Cmax increased dose proportionally. The AUC over an 8-week period was slightly higher in the 3.0mg/kg q8w dose group. Median half-life was similar for both dosing regimens. Median numbers of free β7high gut-homing T and B cell subsets declined below 10% of baseline, confirming β7 target engagement and complete/near-complete receptor occupancy. Adverse events were consistent with the safety profile in adults. Approximately 60% of patients achieved a clinical response. Conclusions Etrolizumab showed a dose-proportional increase in Cmax and a slightly greater than dose-proportional increase in AUCtau. Both regimens achieved complete/near-complete β7 receptor occupancy, with a similar relationship to concentration as adults. Etrolizumab was well tolerated and demonstrated clinical activity in children.
