  • 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.

  • Challenges and Approaches for the Development of Safer Immunomodulatory Biologics

Kevin Park1 Abstract | Immunomodulatory biologics, which render their therapeutic effects by modulating or harnessing immune responses, have proven their therapeutic utility in several complex conditions including cancer and autoimmune diseases. However, unwanted adverse reactions — including serious infections, malignancy, cytokine release syndrome, anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity as well as immunogenicity — pose a challenge to the development of new (and safer) immunomodulatory biologics. In this article, we assess the safety issues associated with immunomodulatory biologics and discuss the current approaches for predicting and mitigating adverse reactions associated with their use. We also outline how these approaches can inform the development of safer immunomodulatory biologics. Immunomodulatory Biologics currently represent more than 30% of licensed The high specificity of the interactions of immu- biologics pharmaceutical products and have expanded the thera- nomodulatory biologics with their relevant immune Biotechnology-derived peutic options available

  • Study Protocol
    PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase 3 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Two Doses of Anifrolumab in Adult Subjects with Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus International Coordinating Investigator Study site(s) and number of subjects planned Approximately 450 subjects are planned at approximately 173 sites. Study period Phase of development Estimated date of first subject enrolled Q2 2015 3 Estimated date of last subject completed Q2 2018 Study design This is a Phase 3, multicentre, multinational, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intravenous treatment regimen of anifrolumab (150 mg or 300 mg) versus placebo in subjects with moderately to severely active, autoantibody-positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) while receiving standard of care (SOC) treatment. The study will be performed in adult subjects aged 18 to 70 years of age. Approximately 450 subjects receiving SOC treatment will be randomised in a 1:2:2 ratio to receive a fixed intravenous dose of 150 mg anifrolumab, 300 mg anifrolumab, or placebo every 4 weeks (Q4W) for a total of 13 doses (Week 0 to Week 48), with the primary endpoint evaluated at the Week 52 visit. Investigational product will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion via an infusion pump over a minimum of 30 minutes, Q4W. Subjects must be taking either 1 or any combination of the following: oral corticosteroids (OCS), antimalarial, and/or immunosuppressants. Randomisation will be stratified using the following factors: SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score at screening (<10 points versus ≥10 points); Week 0 (Day 1) OCS dose 2(125) Revised Clinical Study Protocol Drug Substance Anifrolumab (MEDI-546) Study Code D3461C00005 Edition Number 5 Date 18 May 2016 (<10 mg/day versus ≥10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent); and results of a type 1 interferon (IFN) test (high versus low).

Abstract Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often have elevated levels of type I interferon (IFN, particularly IFNα), a cytokine that can drive many of the symptoms associated with this autoimmune disorder. Additionally, the presence of autoantibody-secreting plasma cells contributes to the systemic inflammation observed in SLE and IFNα supports the survival of these cells. Current therapies for SLE are limited to broad immunosuppression or B cell- targeting antibody-mediated depletion strategies, which do not eliminate autoantibody-secreting plasma cells.

Conclusion Acknowledgements References 2 Summary Conventional therapies seem to have reached the limit of their ability to treat patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). To improve the outcome for these patients, new drugs are needed. Several attempts have been made to introduce targeted therapies for this complex disease. One of these targets is Interferon (IFN) alpha, whose production is increased in SLE, contributing to its pathogenesis. In this review we consider some recent advances in IFN alpha targeting-approaches. Three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against several IFN alpha subtypes have been tested in phase I and II trials, showing an acceptable safety profile and promising results in terms of reducing the IFN signature and disease activity. A mAb specific for the IFN alpha receptor and active immunization against IFN alpha are also being tested. Further trials will be essential to ascertain the safety and efficacy of all these approaches.

Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multiorganic autoimmune disease caused by an immune reaction against DNA. Despite continuous research progress, the mortality of SLE patients is still 2‐4 times higher than the healthy populations and the standard drugs’ adverse effects (especially corticosteroids) hamper the patients’ quality of life. That is why there is an urgent need for new therapies. This paper reviews all phase III clinical trials of new SLE medication that were published since 2011 and analyses the drugs for their respective effects. Methods: MEDLINE (PubMed), Livivo, The Cochrane Library and Embase were systematically searched for relevant publications.

No.: 15/143,981 (57) ABSTRACT (22) Filed: May 2, 2016 A method of therapy for a tumor or other pathology by administering a combination of thermotherapy and immu Related U.S. Application Data notherapy optionally combined with gene delivery. The combination therapy beneficially treats the tumor and pre (63) Continuation-in-part of application No. 14/976,321, vents tumor recurrence, either locally or at a different site, by filed on Dec. 21, 2015. boosting the patient’s immune response both at the time or original therapy and/or for later therapy. With respect to Publication Classification gene delivery, the inventive method may be used in cancer (51) Int. Cl. therapy, but is not limited to such use; it will be appreciated A 6LX 9/50 (2006.01) that the inventive method may be used for gene delivery in A6 IK 35/5 (2006.01) general. The controlled and precise application of thermal A6 IK 4.8/00 (2006.01) energy enhances gene transfer to any cell, whether the cell A 6LX 35/7 (2006.01) is a neoplastic cell, a pre-neoplastic cell, or a normal cell.
