“Polatuzumab vedotin is a CD79b-targeted antibody-drug conjugate that preferentially delivers an anti-mitotic agent (monomethyl auristatin E, or MMAE) to B-cells, which results in the killing of malignant B-cells.”
The terminal half-life at cycle 6 was approximately 12 days (95% CI of 8.1-19.5 days) for acMMAE. After the first 1.8 mg/kg polatuzumab vedotin dose, the C max was 6.82 (± 4.73) ng/mL, the time to maximum plasma concentration is approximately 2.5 days, and the terminal half-life is approximately 4 days.↗TGA PIT1✓
“In vitro studies indicate that MMAE is a substrate for CYP 3A4/5. MMAE does not inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6.”
