Teplizumab, sold under the brand name Tzield, is a medication used in early type 1 diabetes (antibodies present to islet cells, abnormal blood sugar levels, but no symptoms) to decrease progression symptomatic disease.[2][3] It is used in those who are at least 8 years old.[2] It is given by gradual injection into a vein.[2]

Common side effects include headache, rash, and low white blood cells.[2] Other side effects may include cytokine release syndrome, infection, and allergic reactions.[2] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It is a monoclonal antibody that blocks CD3 found on T lymphocytes.[2] It is believed that this decreases their attacking pancreatic beta cells.[2]

Teplizumab was approved for medical use in the United States in 2022.[2] As of 2022 it is not approved in Europe or the United Kingdom.[5] The two week course of treatment costs about 200,000 USD in the United States as of 2022.[6]

Medical uses

Teplizumab is indicated to delay the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) people aged eight years of age and older with stage 2 T1D.[2][4]

Dosage

It is given once per day for 14 days.[2] Doses are increased over the first 5 days from 65 mcg/m[7] to 1,030 mcg/m2.[2]

Mechanism of action

The Fc region of this antibody has been engineered to have Fc receptor non-binding (FNB) properties.[8] The mechanisms of action of teplizumab appear to involve weak agonistic activity on signaling via the T cell receptor-CD3 complex associated with the development of anergy, unresponsiveness, and/or apoptosis, particularly of unwanted activated Teff cells. In addition, regulatory cytokines are released and regulatory T cells are expanded that may lead to the reestablishment of immune tolerance [9][10]

History

Teplizumab was developed at the University of Chicago in partnership with Ortho Pharmaceuticals, and was then further developed at MacroGenics, Inc.,[11][12] including a collaboration with Eli Lilly to conduct the first Phase 3 clinical trial in early-onset type 1 diabetes.[13] After the initial Phase 3 trial conducted by Macrogenics failed to meet the primary endpoint,[14] the drug was acquired by Provention Bio, which restarted development based on subset analysis of the original trials.[15][16]

Research

Teplizumab has been used in clinical trials with the aim of protecting the remaining β-cells in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients.[17] Immunomodulatory agents such as anti-CD3-antibodies may restore normal glucose control if provided in very early stages of the disease, such as stage 2 T1DM, when there are still enough beta cells to maintain euglycemia.[18]

Teplizumab has been evaluated for treatment of renal allograft rejection, for induction therapy in islet transplant recipients, and for psoriatic arthritis.[19]

A phase II study showed that teplizumab could delay the development of diabetes in family members of type 1 diabetics showing signs of progression towards diabetes by about two years after a single treatment, renewing interest in its use as a preventive rather than therapeutic treatment in high-risk patients.[20]
