Background

Pegloticase is a porcine recombinant PEGylated uricase indicated for the treatment of chronic gout in adult patients that do not respond to other types of therapies.5 Pegloticase has a similar activity to rasburicase, an enzyme that metabolizes uric acid to allantoin. In gout patients treated with pegloticase, the conversion of uric acid to allantoin leads to lower plasma uric acid concentrations.5

Pegloticase has a longer terminal elimination half-life thanks to the addition of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) group. Therefore therapeutic drug levels can be maintained with infrequent and relatively low pegloticase doses.3 The PEG group also gives pegloticase a lower potential to induce an immune response.3 However, cases of anaphylaxis and infusion reactions have been reported in patients treated with this drug.5 Pegloticase was approved by the FDA in 2014, and in 2022, the drug label included the co-administration of pegloticase and methotrexate.5

Pharmacodynamics

Pegloticase is a uricase enzyme conjugated with mPEG with an average degree of substitution of 40.8 moles of mPEG/mole of protein.6 In patients treated with 8 mg of pegloticase, mean plasma uric acid levels were 0.7 mg/dL approximately 24 hours after the first dose.5 In comparison, subjects in the placebo group had a mean plasma uric acid level of 8.2 mg/dL. The decrease in plasma uric acid was sustained for long periods. Patients treated with 8-12 mg of pegloticase had a uric acid concentration equal to or lower than 6 mg/dL for more than 300 h.5

Cases of anaphylaxis have been reported in patients treated with pegloticase. In most cases, anaphylaxis manifests within 2 hours of infusion; however, delayed hypersensitivity reactions may also occur. Anaphylaxis risk is higher in patients with uric acid levels above 6 mg/dL.5 In patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, pegloticase may lead to life-threatening hemolytic reactions and methemoglobinemia. Patients treated with pegloticase may also experience infusion reactions, gout flares, and congestive heart failure.5

Mechanism of action

Gout is characterized by the presence of hyperuricemia, a biochemical abnormality where the concentration of serum urate is higher or equal to 6.8 mg/dl.1 Pegloticase is a PEGylated recombinant modified mammalian urate oxidase (uricase) that converts uric acid into allantoin, an inert and highly water-soluble metabolite, with hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide as by-products of this reaction.5,6,4 Allantoin is excreted by the kidneys, and this reduces the amount of uric acid in serum. The reduction in serum uric acid induces a concentration gradient that promotes the migration of urate from joints and tissues, making it readily available for allantoin conversion.5,6

Absorption

In patients with symptomatic gout given single-dose intravenous infusions of pegloticase (0.5 to 12 mg), maximum serum concentrations of pegloticase increased in a dose proportional manner.5 The AUC increased linearly up to a dose of 8 mg.2 Pegloticase administered intravenously has a Tmax of 2.25 h (range from 1.92 to 4.25 h), a Cmax of 2.17 µg/ml (range from 1.25 to 4.77 µg/ml), and an AUC0-t of 445 h⋅µg/ml (range from 223 to 1040 h⋅µg/ml).6 Since pegloticase is administered intravenously, it is expected that it has a bioavailability close to 100%. The pharmacokinetic profile of pegloticase is not significantly influenced by age, sex, weight, and creatinine clearance; however, it is affected by body surface area and anti-pegloticase antibodies.5

Volume of distribution

The volume of distribution of pegloticase ranges from 5 to 10 L.2

Protein binding

This pharmacokinetic property has not been studied.

Metabolism

As a recombinant enzyme, pegloticase is expected to be metabolized by proteases throughout the body.

Route of elimination

Nonclinical studies suggest that pegloticase is renally excreted. Due to the PEG moiety pegloticase, urinary excretion is likely to be the primary route of elimination.6

Half-life

In patients with symptomatic gout given single-dose intravenous infusions of pegloticase (0.5 to 12 mg), half-life ranged from 6.4 to 13.8 days. The mean plasma half-life of pegloticase was 300 hr or 12.5 days.2 In a second study where gout patients were given 4 to 12 mg of pegloticase intravenously every 2 or 4 weeks, the mean terminal elimination half-life of pegloticase in serum was approximately 2 weeks long, ranging from 170 to 1049 hours.3

Clearance

In gout patients given 4 to 12 mg of pegloticase intravenously every 2 or 4 weeks, the mean clearance was ​​0.0000854 L/h/kg.3

Toxicity

No pegloticase overdose cases have been reported. The single maximum intravenous dose that has been administered is 12 mg as uricase protein.5 Patients experiencing an overdose are at an increased risk of severe adverse effects such as anaphylaxis, gout flares and congestive heart failure. The drug label recommends to monitor patients suspected of experiencing a pegloticase overdose, and initiate general supportive measures as no specific antidote has been identified.5

The carcinogenic and genotoxic potential of pegloticase has not been evaluated. At doses up to 40 mg/kg, pegloticase did not show evidence of fertility impairment in rats (dose equivalent to 50 times the maximum recommended human dose.5
