EP 3 178 848 A1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 3 178 848 A1 Description Field of the Invention 5 [0001] The present invention relates to methods of treating a disease, and methods for reduction of the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) in response to the administration of a therapeutic agent. Background 10 [0002] The number of biotechnology-derived therapeutic agents available for use in clinical settings has dramatically increased in recent years, and includes recombinant human cytokines (e.g. α and β interferon, interleukin-2), cellular growth factors (e.g. GM-CSF), hormones (e.g. glucagon), neuromuscular antagonists (e.g. botulinum toxin), blood prod- ucts (e.g. clotting factor VIII), recombinant receptors (e.g. etanercept) and monoclonal antibodies. Although therapeutic proteins are generally considered safe and non-toxic, antibodies against these therapeutic agents, known as anti-drug 15 antibodies (ADAs), can develop during treatment. [0003] ADAs have been observed in connection with various therapeutic agents, such as erythropoietin, factor VIII , insulin, immunotoxins and monoclonal antibodies (Schellekens and Casadevall, J Neurol (2004), 251 [Suppl 2]:II/4-II/9; Mossoba et al., Clin Cancer Res (2011) 17(11): 3697-3705; Hsu et al., British Journal of Dermatology (2014) 170, 261-273). ADA formation is frequent for example in autoimmune patients treated with TNF blockers and impacts clinical 20 outcome (Schaeverbecke et al., Rheumatology (2015) doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/kev277). [0004] The developmentof ADAs may influence serum concentrations and functionof therapeuticagents. The presence of ADAs may increase clearance of the therapeutic agent through formation of immune complexes between therapeutic agent and antibody (neutralizing, non-neutralizing or both), thus reducing the therapeutic agent’s half-life. Furthermore, the activity and effectiveness of the therapeutic agent may be decreased through binding of antibody to the therapeutic 25 agent. ADAs can also be associated with allergic or hypersensitivity reactions and other adverse events. [0005] Since these adverse events associated with immune responses can influence the safety and efficacy profile of therapeutics, identification and development of strategies to overcome or inhibit ADAs is of great interest. [0006] Several protein engineering approaches have been investigated to reduce the immunogenicity of protein ther- apeutics, including for example masking or alteration of protein B cell epitopes or modification of protein T cell epitopes. 30 However, clinical safety and success of these approaches has not been tested and will require a significant degree of time to evaluate. Therefore, there exists an immediate need to develop new interventions using FDA-approved reagents to prevent ADA responses. [0007] Chemotherapy-based approaches aimed at host immune suppression have been reported (Mossoba et al., Clin Cancer Res (2011) 17(11): 3697-3705). 35 [0008] The anti-CD20 antibody rituximab has been used in combination with methotrexate and intravenous immune globulin to achieve tolerance to enzyme replacement therapy in a Morbus Pompe patient (Mendelsohn et al., NEJM (2009) 360:2, 194-195). However, in a clinical trial, host pretreatment with rituximab did not inhibit the human immune response against the immunotoxin LMB-1 (Hassan et al., Clin Cancer Res (2004) 10, 16-18). 40 Summary of the Invention [0009] The present invention is based on the surprising finding that the formation of ADAs in response to administration of an immunogenic therapeutic agent to a subject can effectively and sustainably be prevented by pre-treatment of said subject with a Type II anti-CD20 antibody, such as obinutuzumab. 45 [0010] Accordingly, in a first aspect the present invention provides a method for reducing the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against a therapeutic agent in a subject, comprising administration of an anti-CD20 antibody to the subject prior to administration of the therapeutic agent. In one embodiment the period of time between the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody and administration of the therapeutic agent is sufficient for reduction of the number of B-cells in the subject in response to the administration of the CD20 antibody. 50 [0011] In a further aspect, the invention provides a method of treating a disease in a subject, the method comprising a treatment regimen comprising (i) administration to the subject of a Type II anti-CD20 antibody, and consecutively after a period of time 55 (ii) administration to the subject of a therapeutic agent, wherein the period of time between the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody and the administration of the therapeutic agent is sufficient for reduction of the number of B-cells in the subject in response to the administration of the CD20 2 EP 3 178 848 A1 antibody. In one embodiment, the treatment regimen effectively reduces the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) in the subject in response to the administration of the therapeutic agent as compared to a corresponding treatment regimen without the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody. 5 [0012] In a further aspect, the invention provides a Type II anti-CD20 antibody for use in a method for reducing the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against a therapeutic agent in a subject, comprising administration of the anti- CD20 antibody to the subject prior to administration of the therapeutic agent. In one embodiment, the period of time between the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody and administration of the therapeutic agent is sufficient for reduction of the number of B-cells in the subject in response to the administration of 10 the CD20 antibody. [0013] In a further aspect, the invention provides a Type II anti-CD20 antibody for use in a method of treating a disease in a subject, the method comprising a treatment regimen comprising (i) administration to the subject of the anti-CD20 antibody, 15 and consecutively after a period of time (ii) administration to the subject of a therapeutic agent, wherein the period of time between the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody and the administration of the therapeutic agent is sufficient for reduction of the number of B-cells in the subject in response to the administration of the CD20 20 antibody. In one embodiment, the treatment regimen effectively reduces the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against the therapeutic agent in the subject (in response to the administration of the therapeutic agent) as compared to a corre- sponding treatment regimen without the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody. [0014] In a further aspect, the invention provides the use of a Type II anti-CD20 antibody in the manufacture of a 25 medicament for reduction of the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against a therapeutic agent in a subject, wherein the medicament is to be used in a treatment regimen comprising (i) administration to the subject of the anti-CD20 antibody, and consecutively after a period of time 30 (ii) administration to the subject of a therapeutic agent, wherein the period of time between the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody and the administration of the therapeutic agent is sufficient for reduction of the number of B-cells in the subject in response to the administration of the CD20 antibody. 35 In one embodiment, the treatment regimen effectively reduces the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against the therapeutic agent in the subject as compared to a corresponding treatment regimen without the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody. [0015] In still a further aspect, the invention provides a kit for the reduction of the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against a therapeutic agent in a subject, comprising a package comprising a Type II anti-CD20 antibody com- 40 position and instructions for using the anti-CD20 antibody composition in a treatment regimen comprising (i) administration to the subject of the anti-CD20 antibody composition, and consecutively after a period of time (ii) administration to the subject of a therapeutic agent, 45 wherein the period of time between the administration of the anti-CD20 antibody composition and the administration of the therapeutic agent is sufficient for reduction of the number of B-cells in the subject in response to the administration of the CD20 antibody.

  • 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.

All rights reserved 1672-7681/13 $32.00 www.nature.com/cmi RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT Immune regulation by CD52-expressing CD4 T cells Ban-Hock Toh1, Tin Kyaw1,2, Peter Tipping1 and Alex Bobik2 T-cell regulation by CD52-expressing CD4 T cells appears to operate by two different and possibly synergistic mechanisms. The first is by its release from the cell surface of CD4 T cells that express high levels of CD52 that then binds to the inhibitory sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins-10 (Siglec-10) receptor to attenuate effector T-cell activation by impairing phosphorylation of T-cell receptor associated lck and zap-70. The second mechanism appears to be by crosslinkage of the CD52 molecules by an as yet unidentified endogenous ligand that is mimicked by a bivalent anti-CD52 antibody that results in their expansion.

Rodriguez Copy Editor: Cui Yu Production Editor: Huan-Liang Wu Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly growing new class of anti-cancer agents which may improve GI cancer patient survival. ADCs combine tumour-antigen specific antibodies with cytotoxic drugs to deliver tumour cell specific chemotherapy. Currently, only two ADCs [brentuximab vedotin and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1)] have been Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of lymphoma and metastatic breast cancer, respectively. Clinical research evaluating ADCs in GI cancers has shown limited success. In this review, we will retrace the relevant clinical trials investigating ADCs in GI cancers, especially ADCs targeting human epidermal growth receptor 2, mesothelin, guanylyl cyclase C, carcinogenic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (also known as CEACAM5) and other GI malignancy specific targets.

  • USAN Naming Guidelines for Monoclonal Antibodies |
    Monoclonal Antibodies In October 2008, the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) Working Group Meeting on Nomenclature for Monoclonal Antibodies (mAb) met to review and streamline the monoclonal antibody nomenclature scheme. Based on the group's recommendations and further discussions, the INN Experts published changes to the monoclonal antibody nomenclature scheme. In 2011, the INN Experts published an updated "International Nonproprietary Names (INN) for Biological and Biotechnological Substances—A Review" (PDF) with revisions to the monoclonal antibody nomenclature scheme language. The USAN Council has modified its own scheme to facilitate international harmonization. This page outlines the updated scheme and supersedes previous schemes. It also explains policies regarding post-translational modifications and the use of 2-word names. The council has no plans to retroactively change names already coined. They believe that changing names of monoclonal antibodies would confuse physicians, other health care professionals and patients. Manufacturers should be aware that nomenclature practices are continually evolving. Consequently, further updates may occur any time the council believes changes are necessary. Changes to the monoclonal antibody nomenclature scheme, however, should be carefully considered and implemented only when necessary. Elements of a Name The suffix "-mab" is used for monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments and radiolabeled antibodies. For polyclonal mixtures of antibodies, "-pab" is used. The -pab suffix applies to polyclonal pools of recombinant monoclonal antibodies, as opposed to polyclonal antibody preparations isolated from blood. It differentiates polyclonal antibodies from individual monoclonal antibodies named with -mab. Sequence of Stems and Infixes The order for combining the key elements of a monoclonal antibody name is as follows: 1.
