▧ Absorption :
Raxibacumab does not cross the blood-brain-barrier. When a single IV dose of 40 mg/kg was administered to healthy, male and female human subjects, the pharmacokinetic parameters are as follows:
Cmax = 1020.3 ± 140.6 mcg/mL;
AUCinf = 15845.8 ± 4333.5 mcg·day/mL.
Bioavailability is also dependent on site of injection. When administered to the vastus lateralis, the bioavailability is 71-85%. When administered to the gluteus maximus, the bioavailability is 50-54%.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
Steady state volume of distribution exceeded plasma volume. This suggests that there is some distribution into the tissues.
▧ Half Life :
Mean terminal elimination half-lives of raxibacumab are as follows:
IM dose = 15-19 days;
IV dose = 16-19 days
▧ Clearance :
Clearance values were much smaller than the glomerular filtration rate indicating that there is virtually no renal clearance of raxibacumab.
