  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

  • The Angiopoietin-2 and TIE Pathway As a Therapeutic Target for Enhancing Antiangiogenic Therapy and Immunotherapy in Patients with Advanced Cancer
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review The Angiopoietin-2 and TIE Pathway as a Therapeutic Target for Enhancing Antiangiogenic Therapy and Immunotherapy in Patients with Advanced Cancer Alessandra Leong and Minah Kim * Department of Pathology and Cell Biology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY 10032, USA; afl[email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 26 September 2020; Accepted: 13 November 2020; Published: 18 November 2020 Abstract: Despite significant advances made in cancer treatment, the development of therapeutic resistance to anticancer drugs represents a major clinical problem that limits treatment efficacy for cancer patients. Herein, we focus on the response and resistance to current antiangiogenic drugs and immunotherapies and describe potential strategies for improved treatment outcomes. Antiangiogenic treatments that mainly target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling have shown efficacy in many types of cancer. However, drug resistance, characterized by disease recurrence, has limited therapeutic success and thus increased our urgency to better understand the mechanism of resistance to inhibitors of VEGF signaling. Moreover, cancer immunotherapies including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), which stimulate antitumor immunity, have also demonstrated a remarkable clinical benefit in the treatment of many aggressive malignancies. Nevertheless, the emergence of resistance to immunotherapies associated with an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment has restricted therapeutic response, necessitating the development of better therapeutic strategies to increase treatment efficacy in patients. Angiopoietin-2 (ANG2), which binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase TIE2 in endothelial cells, is a cooperative driver of angiogenesis and vascular destabilization along with VEGF. It has been suggested in multiple preclinical studies that ANG2-mediated vascular changes contribute to the development and persistence of resistance to anti-VEGF therapy.

  • PD-1 / PD-L1 Combination Therapies
    PD-1 / PD-L1 Combination Therapies Jacob Plieth & Edwin Elmhirst – May 2017 Foreword Sprinkling the immuno-oncology dust When in November 2015 EP Vantage published its first immuno- oncology analysis we identified 215 studies of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 projects combined with other approaches, and called this an important industry theme. It is a measure of how central combos have become that today, barely 18 months on, that total has been blown out of the water. No fewer than 765 studies involving combinations of PD-1 or PD-L1 assets are now listed on the Clinicaltrials.gov registry. This dazzling array owes much to the transformational nature of the data seen with the first wave of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 MAbs. It also indicates how central combinations will be in extending immuno-oncology beyond just a handful of cancers, and beyond certain patient subgroups. But the combo effort is as much about extending the reach of currently available drugs like Keytruda, Opdivo and Tecentriq as it is about making novel approaches viable by combining them with PD-1/PD-L1. On a standalone basis several of the industry’s novel oncology projects have underwhelmed. As data are generated it will therefore be vital for investors to tease out the effect of combinations beyond that of monotherapy, and it is doubtful whether the sprinkling of magic immuno-oncology dust will come to the rescue of substandard products. This is not stopping many companies, as the hundreds of combination studies identified here show. This report aims to quantify how many trials are ongoing with which assets and in which cancer indications, as well as suggesting reasons why some of the most popular approaches are being pursued.
