Pharmacodynamic Properties
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antineoplastic agents, alkylating agents, ATC code: L01AB02 Mechanism of action Treosulfan is a prodrug of a bifunctional alkylating agent with cytotoxic activity to haematopoietic precursor cells. The activity of treosulfan is due to the spontaneous conversion into a mono-epoxide intermediate and L- diepoxybutan (see section 5.2). The epoxides formed alkylate nucleophilic centres of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and are able to induce DNA cross-links which are considered responsible for the stem cell depleting and antineoplastic effects. Pharmacodynamic effects Treosulfan has a broad antineoplastic and antileukaemic activity. This was demonstrated against transplanted mouse and rat lymphomas/leukaemias, sarcomas and hepatomas, human tumour xenografts, human tumour biopsies and cell lines. The immunosuppressive effects of treosulfan are attributed to its toxicity against primitive and committed progenitor cells, T and NK cells, reduction of cellularity of primary and secondary lymphatic organs and a preclusive effect on the 'cytokine storm' that precedes the development of Graft-versus-Host- Disease (GvHD) and is involved in the pathogenesis of veno-occlusive disease. Clinical efficacy and safety In the pivotal phase III trial, adult patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and increased risk for standard conditioning therapies because of higher age (≥ 50 years) or comorbidities (haematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index [HCT-CI] score > 2) were randomised to receive a conditioning regimen with 3 × 10 g/m² treosulfan combined with fludarabine (FT10; n = 268) or a regimen of intravenous busulfan (total dose 6.4 mg/kg) combined with fludarabine (FB2; n = 283), followed by alloHSCT. 64% of patients had AML and 36% MDS. The median age of patients was 60 years (range 31–70 years); 25% of patients were older than 65 years. The primary endpoint of this study was event-free survival (EFS) after 2 years. Events were defined as relapse of disease, graft failure or death (whatever occurred first). Non-inferiority of FT10 versus the reference FB2 was statistically proven. The p-value of 0.0005787 indicates superiority of treosulfan compared to busulfan (Figure 1).

Analyses of EFS at 2 years for various pre-defined subgroups (donor type, risk group, disease, age group, HCT-CI score, remission status at study entry, and various combinations of these parameters) were always in favour of the treosulfan regimen (hazard ratio [HR] of FT10 vs. FB2 < 1), with only one exception (risk group II of matched related donor [MRD] patients; HR 1.18 [95% CI 0.61, 2.26]).

The main indications for an alloHSCT with treosulfan conditioning in adult NMD patients are haemoglobinopathies (e.g. sickle cell disease, thalassaemia major [TM]), primary immune deficiency, hemophagocytic disorder, immune dysregulatory disorder and bone marrow failure). In one study, 31 NMD patients were treated with the FT14 regimen plus anti- thymocyte globulin. The age of the patients ranged from 0.4 to 30.5 years, and 29% had HCT-CI scores > 2. All patients engrafted, with a median time to neutrophil engraftment of 21 (range, 12–46) days. The two-year projected overall survival was 90%. Complete disease responses were observed in 28 patients (90%), as measured by clinical symptoms and laboratory assays (Burroughs LM et al., Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation 2014; 20(12):1996-2003). An Italian group treated 60 TM patients (age range 1-37 years; including 12 adults) with the FT14 plus thiotepa regimen. All patients engrafted except one, who died on day +11; the median time to neutrophil and platelet recovery was 20 days. With a median follow-up of 36 months (range, 4-73), the 5-year overall survival probability was 93% (95% CI 83-97%). No difference in terms of outcome was observed between children and adults (Bernardo ME et al.; Blood 2012; 120(2):473-6). A retrospective comparison of treosulfan-based (n = 16) versus busulfan- based (n = 81) conditioning in adult patients revealed quite comparable survival rates (70.3 ± 15.1% vs. 69.3 ± 5.5%), while risk for acute GvHD was lower in the treosulfan group (odds ratio 0.28; 95% CI 0.12-0.67; P = 0.004) (Caocci G et al.; American Journal of Hematology 2017; 92(12):1303-1310). Paediatric population The efficacy and safety of treosulfan-based conditioning was evaluated in 70 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), AML, MDS, or juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML) who received a conditioning regimen with treosulfan and fludarabine with (n = 65) or without (n = 5) thiotepa (see section 4.2). A total of 37 patients (52.9%) were younger than 12 years. No patient experienced a primary graft failure but one patient with ALL experienced a secondary graft failure. The incidence of complete donor-type chimerism was 94.2% (90% CI 87.2-98.0%) at day +28 visit, 91.3% (90% CI 83.6-96.1%) at day +100 visit and 91.2% (90% CI 82.4-96.5%) at month 12 visit. The overall survival at 24 months was 85.7% (90% CI 77.1-91.2%). Overall, 12 of the 70 patients (17.1%) died, 8 patients because of relapse/progression, and 4 patients transplant-related. The freedom from transplant-related mortality until day +100 after HSCT (primary endpoint) was 98.6% (90% CI 93.4–99.9%). One transplant/treatment-related death was noted until day +100 after HSCT. Transplant-related mortality at 24 months was 4.6% (90% CI 1.8 – 11.4%). Sixteen patients suffered from relapse/progression. The cumulative incidence of relapse/progression was 23.0% (90% CI 14.7-31.3%) at month +24. The efficacy and safety of treosulfan/fludarabine ± thiotepa-based conditioning was further evaluated in 51 patients with non-malignant diseases (primary immunodeficiency, haemoglobinopathy, inborn error of metabolism and bone marrow failure syndromes). Treosulfan dose was adapted to the patient's BSA and 10, 12, or 14 g/m2 body surface area per day was administered as a two-hour intravenous infusion on day -6, -5, and -4 prior to stem cell infusion (day 0). The dosing scheme was adapted during the trial in terms of the BSA categories applied for the different doses, as a consequence 2 patients received a higher dose compared to the initial dosing scheme. Fifty evaluable patients treated with the reference conditioning regimen busulfan/fludarabine ± thiotepa served as active-control group. Busulfan dose was adapted to the patient's body weight and 3.2 to 4.8 mg/kg/day were administered on days -7, -6, -5, and -4. Most trial subjects (84% in both arms) received the intensified regimen with thiotepa given in 2 single doses of 5 mg/kg/body weight on day -2. Most patients were 28 days to 11 years of age (88.2% in the treosulfan arm and 80% in the busulfan arm). Alpha was not controlled for multiple testing in this trial. The incidence of freedom from transplantation (treatment)-related mortality until day +100 (primary endpoint) was 100.0% (90% CI 94.3%-100.0%) in the treosulfan arm and 90.0% (90% CI 80.1%-96.0%) in the busulfan arm. Overall survival at 1 year was 96.1% (90% CI 88.0%-98.8%) with treosulfan and 88.0% with busulfan (90% CI 77.9%-93.7%). In total, 2 patients (3.9%) in the treosulfan arm and 2 patients (4.0%) in the busulfan arm experienced primary graft failure, while secondary graft failures were reported for 9 patients (18.4%) receiving treosulfan-based conditioning. The incidence of complete donor type chimerism was comparable between the groups.
Pharmacokinetic Properties
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties Treosulfan is a prodrug that is spontaneously converted under physiological conditions (pH 7.4; 37 °C) into a monoepoxide intermediate and L- diepoxybutane with a half-life of 2.2 hours. Absorption After intravenous administration, peak plasma levels are reached at the end of the infusion time. Maximum plasma levels (mean ± SD) in adult patients after a 2-hour intravenous infusion of 10, 12, or 14 g/m² treosulfan were 306 ± 94 µg/mL, 461 ± 102 µg/mL, and 494 ± 126 µg/mL, respectively. Distribution Treosulfan is rapidly distributed in the body; however, its penetration through the blood-brain-barrier is quite limited (see section 5.3). The volume of distribution in adult patients is about 20–30 liters. No dose accumulation with the recommended daily treatment on three consecutive days was observed. Treosulfan does not bind to plasma proteins. Biotransformation Under physiological conditions (pH 7.4, temperature 37 °C), the pharmacologically inactive treosulfan is converted spontaneously (non- enzymatically) into the active monoepoxide intermediate (S,S-EBDM = (2S,3S)-1,2-epoxybutane-3,4-diol-4-methanesulfonate) and finally to L- diepoxibutane (S,S-DEB = (2S,3S)-1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane). Treosulfan does not inhibit CYP1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, or 3A4 using testosterone as substrate. However, using midazolam as the substrate, treosulfan was a reversible inhibitor for CYP2C19 and 3A4. Treosulfan does not inhibit substrate transport via various transport proteins with the exception of P-gp and MATE2 at very high concentrations. Elimination Plasma concentrations of treosulfan decline exponentially and are best described by a first order elimination process fitted by a two-compartment model. The terminal half-life (T1/2ß) of intravenously administered treosulfan (up to 47 g/m²) is approximately 2 hours. Approximately 25–40% of the treosulfan dose is excreted unchanged with the urine within 24 hours, nearly 90% of which within the first 6 hours after administration. Linearity/non-linearity Regression analysis of the area under the curve (AUC0-∞) versus treosulfan dose indicated a linear correlation. Renal and hepatic impairment No pharmacokinetic studies with treosulfan were done in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment, because such patients are generally excluded from alloHSCT. About 25–40% of treosulfan is excreted in urine; however, an influence of renal function on renal clearance of treosulfan was not observed. Paediatric population Conventional dose calculation simply based on BSA results in a significantly higher exposure (AUC) of smaller children and infants with low BSA compared to adolescents or adults. Therefore, dosing of treosulfan in paediatric patients should be adapted to the BSA (see section 4.2). Which results in a comparable treosulfan exposure in children of all age groups, corresponding to an exposure of a 3 x 14 g/m2 dose in adults. Mean apparent terminal half-life of treosulfan was comparable between the different age groups and ranged between 1.3 and 1.6 hours. PK/PD evaluation did not show a significant change of time to engraftment as function of AUC.
