Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to compositions for stimulating the mammalian immune response, especially the T cell response. The invention also relates to medical use of such compositions in immuno-oncology, including anti-tumour therapy by promotion of anti-tumour T cell response in a patient, as well as to use of the compositions in other diseases and conditions where it is of therapeutic benefit to modulate the balance between effector T cells and regulatory T cells in favour of effector T cell activity, for example through stimulation of effector T cells and/or through depletion of regulatory T cells.


BACKGROUND

ICOS (Inducible T cell Co-Stimulator) is a member of the CD28 gene family involved in regulating immune responses, in particular humoral immune responses, first identified in 1999 [1]. It is a 55 kDa transmembrane protein, existing as a disulphide linked homodimer with two differentially glycosylated subunits. ICOS is exclusively expressed on T lymphocytes, and is found on a variety of T cell subsets. It is present at low levels on naïve T lymphocytes but its expression is rapidly induced upon immune activation, being upregulated in response to pro-inflammatory stimuli such as on engagement of TCR and co-stimulation with CD28 [2, 3]. ICOS plays a role in the late phase of T cell activation, memory T cell formation and importantly in the regulation of humoral responses through T cell dependent B cell responses [4, 5]. Intracellularly, ICOS binds PI3K and activates the kinases phophoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) and protein kinase B (PKB). Activation of ICOS prevents cell death and upregulates cellular metabolism. In the absence of ICOS (ICOS knock-out) or in the presence of anti-ICOS neutralising antibodies there would be a suppression of pro-inflammatory responses.


ICOS binds to ICOS ligand (ICOSL) expressed on B-cells and antigen presenting cells (APC) [6, 7]. As a co-stimulatory molecule it serves to regulate TCR mediated immune responses and antibody responses to antigen. The expression of ICOS on T regulatory cells may be important, as it has been suggested that this cell type plays a negative role in immunosurveillance of cancer cells—there is emerging evidence for this in ovarian cancer [8]. Importantly, ICOS expression has been reported to be higher on intratumoural regulatory T cells (TRegs) compared with CD4+ and CD8+ effector cells that are present in the tumour microenvironment. Depletion of TRegs using antibodies with Fc-mediated cellular effector function has demonstrated strong anti-tumour efficacy in a pre-clinical model [9]. Mounting evidence implicates ICOS in an anti-tumour effect in both animal models as well as patients treated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. In mice deficient in ICOS or ICOSL the anti-tumor effect of anti-CTLA4 therapy is diminished [10] while in normal mice ICOS ligand increases the effectiveness of anti-CTLA4 treatment in melanoma and prostate cancer [11]. Furthermore, in humans a retrospective study of advanced melanoma patients showed increased levels of ICOS following ipilimumab (anti-CTLA4) treatment [12]. In addition, ICOS expression is upregulated in bladder cancer patients treated with anti-CTLA4 [13]. It has also been observed that in cancer patients treated with anti-CTLA4 therapy the bulk of tumour specific IFNγ producing CD4 T-cells are ICOS positive while sustained elevation of ICOS positive CD4 T cells correlates with survival [12, 13, 14].


WO2016/120789 described anti-ICOS antibodies and proposed their use for activating T cells and for treating cancer, infectious disease and/or sepsis. A number of murine anti-ICOS antibodies were generated, of which a sub-set were reported to be agonists of the human ICOS receptor. The antibody “422.2” was selected as the lead anti-ICOS antibody and was humanised to produce a human “IgG4PE” antibody designated “H2L5”. H2L5 was reported to have an affinity of 1.34 nM for human ICOS and 0.95 nM for cynomolgus ICOS, to induce cytokine production in T cells, and to upregulate T cell activation markers in conjunction with CD3 stimulation. However, mice bearing implanted human melanoma cells were reported to show only minimal tumour growth delay or increase in survival when treated with H2L5 hIgG4PE, compared with control treated group. The antibody also failed to produce significant further inhibition of tumour growth in combination experiments with ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) or pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1), compared with ipilimumab or pembrolizumab monotherapy. Finally, In mice bearing implanted colon cancer cells (CT26), low doses of a mouse cross reactive surrogate of H2L5 in combination with a mouse surrogate of ipilimumab or pembrolizumab only mildly improved overall survival compared with anti-CTL4 and anti-PD1 therapy alone. A similar lack of strong therapeutic benefit was shown in mice bearing implanted EMT6 cells.


WO2016/154177 described further examples of anti-ICOS antibodies. These antibodies were reported to be agonists of CD4+ T cells, including effector CD8+ T cells (TEff), and to deplete T regulator cells (TRegs). Selective effects of the antibodies on TEff vs TReg cells were described, whereby the antibodies could preferentially deplete TRegs while having minimal effect on TEffs that express a lower level of ICOS. The anti-ICOS antibodies were proposed for use in treating cancer, and combination therapy with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies was described.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An antibody to ICOS that acts to increase effector T cell activity represents a therapeutic approach in immunooncology and in other medical contexts where a CD8+ T cell response is beneficial, including various diseases and conditions and in vaccination regimens. In many diseases and conditions involving an immune component, a balance exists between effector T cells (TEff) which exert the CD8+ T cell immune response, and regulatory T cells (TReg) which suppress that immune response by downregulating TEffs. The present invention relates to antibodies that modulate this TEff/TReg balance in favour of effector T cell activity. Antibodies that trigger the depletion of ICOS highly positive regulatory T cells would relieve the suppression of TEffs, and thus have a net effect of promoting the effector T cell response. An additional or complementary mechanism for an anti-ICOS antibody is via agonistic activity at the ICOS receptor level, to stimulate the effector T cell response.


The relative expression of ICOS on effector T cells (TEff) compared with regulatory T cells (TReg), and the relative activities of these cell populations, will influence the overall effect of an anti-ICOS antibody in vivo. An envisaged mode of action combines agonism of effector T cells with depletion of ICOS positive regulatory T cells. Differential and even opposing effects on these two different T cell populations may be achievable due to their different levels of ICOS expression. Dual-engineering of the variable and constant regions respectively of an anti-ICOS antibody can provide a molecule that exerts a net positive effect on effector T cell response by affecting the CD8/TReg ratio. An antigen-binding domain of an agonist antibody, which activates the ICOS receptor, may be combined with an antibody constant (Fc) region that promotes downregulation and/or clearance of highly expressing cells to which the antibody is bound. An effector positive constant region may be used to recruit cellular effector functions against the target cells (TRegs), e.g., to promote antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) or antibody dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP). The antibody may thus act both to promote effector T cell activation and to downregulate immunosuppressive T Regulatory cells. Since ICOS is more highly expressed on TRegs than on TEffs, a therapeutic balance may be achieved whereby Teff function is promoted while TRegs are depleted, resulting in a net increase in the T cell immune response (e.g, anti-tumour response or other therapeutically beneficial T cell response).


Several pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown a strong positive correlation between high effector T-cell to T-reg cell ratio in the tumour microenvironment (TME) and overall survival. In ovarian cancer patients the ratio of CD8:T-reg cells has been reported to be an indicator of good clinical outcome [15]. A similar observation was made in metastatic melanoma patients after receiving ipilumumab [16]. In pre-clinical studies, it has also been shown that high effector cell:T-reg ratio in TME is associated with anti-tumour response [43].


This invention provides antibodies that bind human ICOS. The antibodies target the ICOS extracellular domain and thereby bind to T cells expressing ICOS. Examples are provided of antibodies that have been designed to have an agonistic effect on ICOS, thus enhancing the function of effector T cells, as indicated by an ability to increase IFNγ expression and secretion. As noted, anti-ICOS antibodies may also be engineered to deplete cells to which they bind, which should have the effect of preferentially downregulating regulatory T cells, lifting the suppressive effect of these cells on the effector T cell response and thus promoting the effector T cell response overall. Regardless of their mechanism of action, it is demonstrated empirically that anti-ICOS antibodies according to the present invention do stimulate T cell response and have anti-tumour effects in vivo, as shown in the Examples. Through selection of appropriate antibody formats such as those including constant regions with a desired level of Fc effector function, or absence of such effector function where appropriate, the anti-ICOS antibodies may be tailored for use in a variety of medical contexts including treatment of diseases and conditions in which an effector T cell response is beneficial and/or where suppression of regulatory T cells is desired.

FR1, FR2 and FR3 of the VH domain typically align with the same germline V gene segment. Thus, for example, the antibody may comprise a VH domain derived from recombination of human heavy chain V gene segment IGHV3-20 (e.g., VH3-20*d01), a human heavy chain D gene segment and a human heavy chain J gene segment IGJH4 (e.g., JH4*02).

Alignment may be exact, but in some cases one or more residues can be mutated from germline, so there may be amino acid substitutions present, or in rarer cases deletions or insertions.

FR1, FR2 and FR3 of the VL domain typically align with the same germline V gene segment. Thus, for example, the antibody may comprise a VL domain derived from recombination of human light chain V gene segment IGKV3-20 (e.g., IGKV3-20*01) and human light chain J gene segment IGKJ3 (e.g., IGKJ3*01). An antibody may comprise VL domain framework regions FR1, FR2, FR3 and FR4, wherein FR1, FR2 and FR3 each align with human germline V gene segment IGKV3-20 (e.g., IGKV3-20*01) with up to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 amino acid alterations, and a FR4 that aligns with human germline J gene segment IGKJ3 (e.g., IGKJ3*01) with up to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 amino acid alterations. Alignment may be exact, but in some cases one or more residues can be mutated from germline, so there may be amino acid substitutions present, or in rarer cases deletions or insertions.


An antibody according to the invention may comprise an antibody VH domain which is the VH domain of STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004 or STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 or STIM009, or which has an amino acid sequence at least 90% identical to the antibody VH domain sequence of STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 or STIM009.

The amino acid sequence identity may be at least 95%.


An antibody VH domain having the HCDRs of STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 or STIM009, or having a variant of those CDRs, may be paired with an antibody VL domain having the LCDRs of the same antibody, or having a variant of those CDRs. Similarly, the VH domain of any of STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 or STIM009, or a variant of that VH domain, may be paired with a VL domain of the same antibody, or a VL domain variant of the same antibody.


For instance, the antibody may comprise the antibody STIM001 VH domain and the STIM001 VL domain. In another example, the antibody may comprise the antibody STIM002 VH domain and the STIM002 VL domain. In another example, the antibody may comprise the antibody STIM003 VH domain and the STIM003 VL domain.


Antibodies may include constant regions, optionally human heavy and/or light chain constant regions. An exemplary isotype is IgG, e.g., human IgG1.


Further aspects of the invention include nucleic acid molecules encoding sequences of the antibodies described herein, host cells containing such nucleic acids, and methods of producing the antibodies by culturing the host cells and expressing and optionally isolating or purifying the antibodies. The expressed antibody is thereby obtained. VH and VL domains of antibodies described herein may similarly be produced and are aspects of the present invention. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies are also provided.


Other aspects of the invention relate to ICOS knock out non-human animals and their use for generating antibodies to human ICOS. In an ICOS knock out animal, ICOS is not expressed, for example because the gene encoding ICOS has been inactivated or deleted from the animal's genome. Such animals are useful for generating species cross-reactive antibodies, which recognise both human ICOS and ICOS from the non-human species. The normal process of immune tolerance means that lymphocytes that recognise “self” antigens are deleted or inactivated to prevent autoimmune reactions in the body, whereas the absence of the endogenous ICOS antigen in the non-human knock out animal means that the animal's immune system should not be tolerised to that antigen and therefore can mount an immune response against ICOS when injected as recombinant protein or using cell lines or vesicles expressing ICOS. The immune repertoire of the knock out animal should contain lymphocytes able to recognise the ICOS protein from that animal species. A non-human test animal (e.g., a mouse) immunised with human ICOS may thus generate antibodies that bind both human ICOS and the test animal ICOS (e.g., mouse ICOS).


This has at least two advantages. First, a species cross-reactive antibody can be used for pre-clinical testing in the non-human test animal before being taken forward into development in human clinical trials. Second, a knock out animal's immune system may be able to recognise a greater number of possible epitopes on a human ICOS molecule compared with those recognised by an ICOS-expressing animal, so that the immune repertoire of the knock out animal may contain a greater functional diversity of antibodies. Since there is similarity between the sequences of homologous ICOS molecules from different species, the immune system of a non-human animal may ordinarily be tolerised to those regions of the human ICOS protein that match those of the non-human animal ICOS, whereas this tolerisation does not occur in a knock out animal.


The ability to use an ICOS knock out animal, and its advantage for generating cross-reactive antibodies, is shown in the Examples. It is particularly surprising that an ICOS knock out animal could be successfully immunised to produce an antibody response, because ICOS itself is involved in the immune system biology such as formation and maintenance of the germinal centers and contributes to the generation of an immune response through its role on T follicular helper cells which are ICOS+ve cells [37]. With this in mind, an ICOS knock out animal might be predicted to generate a poor antibody response at best. Surprisingly, strong titres were obtained in ICOS knock out mice, and highly functional antibodies were isolated from among the antibody repertoire, including desirable cross-reactive antibodies.


Exemplary embodiments of the invention are set out in the appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
ICOS

Antibodies according to the present invention bind the extracellular domain of human ICOS. Thus, the antibodies bind ICOS-expressing T lymphocytes. “ICOS” or “the ICOS receptor” referred to herein may be human ICOS, unless the context dictates otherwise. Sequences of human, cynomolgus and mouse ICOS are shown in the appended sequence listing, and are available from NCBI as human NCBI ID: NP_036224.1, mouse NCBI ID: NP_059508.2 and cynomolgus GenBank ID: EHH55098.1.


Cross-Reactivity

Antibodies according to the present invention are preferably cross-reactive, and may for example bind the extracellular domain of mouse ICOS as well as human ICOS. The antibodies may bind other non-human ICOS, including ICOS of primates such as cynomolgus. An anti-ICOS antibody intended for therapeutic use in humans must bind human ICOS, whereas binding to ICOS of other species would not have direct therapeutic relevance in the human clinical context. Nevertheless, the data herein indicate that antibodies that bind both human and mouse ICOS have properties that render them particularly suitable as agonist and depleting molecules. This may result from one or more particular epitopes being targeted by the cross-reactive antibodies. Regardless of the underlying theory, however, cross-reactive antibodies are of high value and are excellent candidates as therapeutic molecules for pre-clinical and clinical studies.


As explained in the experimental Examples, the STIM antibodies described here were generated using Kymouse™ technology where the mouse had been engineered to lack expression of mouse ICOS (an ICOS knock-out). ICOS knock-out transgenic animals and their use for generating cross-reactive antibodies are further aspects of the present invention.


One way to quantify the extent of species cross-reactivity of an antibody is as the fold-difference in its affinity for antigen or one species compared with antigen of another species, e.g., fold difference in affinity for human ICOS vs mouse ICOS. Affinity may be quantified as KD, referring to the equilibrium dissociation constant of the antibody-antigen reaction as determined by SPR with the antibody in Fab format as described elsewhere herein. A species cross-reactive anti-ICOS antibody may have a fold-difference in affinity for binding human and mouse ICOS that is 30-fold or less, 25-fold or less, 20-fold or less, 15-fold or less, 10-fold or less or 5-fold or less. To put it another way, the KD of binding the extracellular domain of human ICOS may be within 30-fold, 25-fold, 20-fold, 15-fold, 10-fold or 5-fold of the KD of binding the extracellular domain of mouse ICOS. Antibodies can also be considered cross-reactive if the KD for binding antigen of both species meets a threshold value, e.g., if the KD of binding human ICOS and the KD of binding mouse ICOS are both 10 mM or less, preferably 5 mM or less, more preferably 1 mM or less. The KD may be 10 nM or less, 5 nM or less, 2 nM or less, or 1 nM or less. The KD may be 0.9 nM or less, 0.8 nM or less, 0.7 nM or less, 0.6 nM or less, 0.5 nM or less, 0.4 nM or less, 0.3 nM or less, 0.2 nM or less, or 0.1 nM or less.


An alternative measure of cross-reactivity for binding human ICOS and mouse ICOS is the ability of an antibody to neutralise ICOS ligand binding to ICOS receptor, such as in an HTRF assay (see Example 8). Examples of species cross-reactive antibodies are provided herein, including STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM005 and STIM006, each of which was confirmed as neutralising binding of human B7-H2 (ICOS ligand) to human ICOS and neutralising binding of mouse B7-H2 to mouse ICOS in an HTRF assay. Any of these antibodies or their variants may be selected when an antibody cross-reactive for human and mouse ICOS is desired. A species cross-reactive anti-ICOS antibody may have an IC50 for inhibiting binding of human ICOS to human ICOS receptor that is within 25-fold, 20-fold, 15-fold, 10-fold or 5-fold of the IC50 for inhibiting mouse ICOS to mouse ICOS receptor as determined in an HTRF assay. Antibodies can also be considered cross-reactive if the IC50 for inhibiting binding of human ICOS to human ICOS receptor and the IC50 for inhibiting binding of mouse ICOS to mouse ICOS receptor are both 1 mM or less, preferably 0.5 mM or less, e.g., 30 nM or less, 20 nM or less, 10 nM or less. The IC50s may be 5 nM or less, 4 nM or less, 3 nM or less or 2 nM or less. In some cases the IC50s will be at least 0.1 nM, at least 0.5 nM or at least 1 nM.


Specificity

Antibodies according to the present invention are preferably specific for ICOS. That is, the antibody binds its epitope on the target protein, ICOS (human ICOS, and preferably mouse and/or cynomolgus ICOS as noted above), but does not show significant binding to molecules that do not present that epitope, including other molecules in the CD28 gene family. An antibody according to the present invention preferably does not bind human CD28. The antibody preferably also does not bind mouse or cynomolgus CD28.


CD28 co-stimulates T cell responses when engaged by its ligands CD80 and CD86 on professional antigen presenting cells in the context of antigen recognition via the TCR. For various in vivo uses of the antibodies described herein, the avoidance of binding to CD28 is considered advantageous. Non-binding of the anti-ICOS antibody to CD28 should allow CD28 to interact with its native ligands and to generate appropriate co-stimulatory signal for T cell activation. Additionally, non-binding of the anti-ICOS antibody to CD28 avoids the risk of superagonism. Over-stimulation of CD28 can induce proliferation in resting T cells without the normal requirement for recognition of a cognate antigen via the TCR, potentially leading to runaway activation of T cells and consequent cytokine-release syndrome, especially in human subjects. The non-recognition of CD28 by antibodies according to the present invention therefore represents an advantage in terms of their safe clinical use in humans.


As discussed elsewhere herein, the present invention extends to multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecifics). A multispecific (e.g., bispecific) antibody may comprise (i) an antibody antigen binding site for ICOS and (ii) a further antigen binding site (optionally an antibody antigen binding site, as described herein) which recognises another antigen (e.g., PD-L1). Specific binding of individual antigen binding sites may be determined. Thus, antibodies that specifically bind ICOS include antibodies comprising an antigen binding site that specifically binds ICOS, wherein optionally the antigen binding site for ICOS is comprised within an antigen-binding molecule that further includes one or more additional binding sites for one or more other antigens, e.g., a bispecific antibody that binds ICOS and PD-L1.


Affinity

The affinity of binding of an antibody to ICOS may be determined. Affinity of an antibody for its antigen may be quantified in terms of the equilibrium dissociation constant KD, the ratio Ka/Kd of the association or on-rate (Ka) and the dissociation or off-rate (kd) of the antibody-antigen interaction. Kd, Ka and Kd for antibody-antigen binding can be measured using surface plasmon resonance (SPR).


An antibody according to the present invention may bind the EC domain of human ICOS with a KD of 10 mM or less, preferably 5 mM or less, more preferably 1 mM or less. The KD may be 50 nM or less, 10 nM or less, 5 nM or less, 2 nM or less, or 1 nM or less. The KD may be 0.9 nM or less, 0.8 nM or less, 0.7 nM or less, 0.6 nM or less, 0.5 nM or less, 0.4 nM or less, 0.3 nM or less, 0.2 nM or less, or 0.1 nM or less. The KD may be at least 0.001 nM, for example at least 0.01 nM or at least 0.1 nM.


Quantification of affinity may be performed using SPR with the antibody in Fab format. A suitable protocol is as follows:


1. Coupling anti-human (or other antibody constant region species-matched) IgG to a biosensor chip (e.g., GLM chip) such as by primary amine coupling;


2. Exposing the anti-human IgG (or other matched species antibody) to a test antibody, e.g., in Fab format, to capture test antibody on the chip;


3. Passing the test antigen over the chip's capture surface at a range of concentrations, e.g., at 5000 nM, 1000 nM, 200 nM, 40 nM, 8 nM and 2 nM, and at 0 nM (i.e., buffer alone); and


4. Determining the affinity of binding of test antibody to test antigen using SPR at 25° C. Buffer may be at pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% detergent (e.g., P20) and 3 mM EDTA. Buffer may optionally contain 10 mM HEPES. HBS-EP can be used as running buffer. HBS-EP is available from Teknova Inc (California; catalogue number H8022).


Regeneration of the capture surface can be carried out with 10 mM glycine at pH 1.7. This removes the captured antibody and allows the surface to be used for another interaction. The binding data can be fitted to 1:1 model inherent using standard techniques, e.g., using a model inherent to the ProteOn XPR36™ analysis software.


A variety of SPR instruments are known, such as Biacore™, ProteOn XPR36™ (Bio-Rad®), and KinExA® (Sapidyne Instruments, Inc). Worked examples of SPR are found in Example 7.


As described, affinity may be determined by SPR with the antibody in Fab format, with the antigen coupled to the chip surface and the test antibody passed over the chip in Fab format in solution, to determine affinity of the monomeric antibody-antigen interaction. Affinity can be determined at any desired pH, e.g., pH 5.5 or pH 7.6, and any desired temperature e.g., 25° C. or 37° C. As reported in Example 7, antibodies according to the present invention bound human ICOS with an apparent affinity of less than 2 nM, as determined by SPR using the antibody in monovalent (Fab) format.


Other ways to measure binding of an antibody to ICOS include fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), e.g., using cells (e.g., CHO cells) with exogenous surface expression of ICOS or activated primary T cells expressing endogenous levels of ICOS. Antibody binding to ICOS-expressing cells as measured by FACS indicates that the antibody is able to bind the extracellular (EC) domain of ICOS.


ICOS Receptor Agonism

The ICOS ligand (ICOSL, also known as B7-H2) is a cell surface expressed molecule that binds to the ICOS receptor [17]. This intercellular ligand-receptor interaction promotes multimerisation of ICOS on the T cell surface, activating the receptor and stimulating downstream signalling in the T cell. In effector T cells, this receptor activation stimulates the effector T cell response.


Anti-ICOS antibodies may act as agonists of ICOS, mimicking and even surpassing this stimulatory effect of the native ICOS ligand on the receptor. Such agonism may result from ability of the antibody to promote multimerisation of ICOS on the T cell. One mechanism for this is where the antibodies form intercellular bridges between ICOS on the T cell surface and receptors on an adjacent cell (e.g., B cell, antigen-presenting cell, or other immune cell), such as Fc receptors. Another mechanism is where antibodies having multiple (e.g., two) antigen-binding sites (e.g., two VH-VL domain pairs) bridge multiple ICOS receptor molecules and so promote multimerisation. A combination of these mechanisms may occur.


Agonism can be tested for in in vitro T cell activation assays, using antibody in soluble form (e.g., in immunoglobulin format or other antibody format comprising two spatially separated antigen-binding sites, e.g., two VH-VL pairs), either including or excluding a cross-linking agent, or using antibody bound to a solid surface to provide a tethered array of antigen-binding sites. Agonism assays may use a human ICOS positive T lymphocyte cell line such as MJ cells (ATCC CRL-8294) as the target T cell for activation in such assays. One or more measures of T cell activation can be determined for a test antibody and compared with a reference molecule or a negative control to determine whether there is a statistically significant (p<0.05) difference in T cell activation effected by the test antibody compared with the reference molecule or the control. One suitable measure of T cell activation is production of cytokines, e.g., IFNγ, TNFα or IL-2. The skilled person will include suitable controls as appropriate, standardising assay conditions between test antibody and control. A suitable negative control is an antibody in the same format (e.g., isotype control) that does not bind ICOS, e.g., an antibody specific for an antigen that is not present in the assay system. A significant difference is observed for test antibody relative to a cognate isotype control within the dynamic range of the assay is indicative that the antibody acts as an agonist of the ICOS receptor in that assay.


An agonist antibody may be defined as one which, when tested in a T cell activation assay:


has a significantly lower EC50 for induction of IFNγ production compared with control antibody;


induces significantly higher maximal IFNγ production compared with control antibody;


has a significantly lower EC50 for induction of IFNγ production compared with ICOSL-Fc;


induces significantly higher maximal IFNγ production compared with ICOSL-Fc;


has a significantly lower EC50 for induction of IFNγ production compared with reference antibody C398.4A; and/or


induces significantly higher maximal IFNγ production compared with reference antibody C398.4A.


In vitro T cell assays include the bead-bound assay of Example 13, the plate-bound assay of Example 14 and the soluble form assay of Example 15.


A significantly lower or significantly higher value may for example be up to 0.5-fold different, up to 0.75-fold different, up to 2-fold different, up to 3-fold different, up to 4-fold different or up to 5-fold different, compared with the reference or control value.


Thus, in one example, an antibody according to the present invention has a significantly lower, e.g., at least 2-fold lower, EC50 for induction of IFNγ in an MJ cell activation assay using the antibody in bead-bound format, compared with control.


The bead-bound assay uses the antibody (and, for control or reference experiments, the control antibody, reference antibody or ICOSL-Fc) bound to the surface of beads. Magnetic beads may be used, and various kinds are commercially available, e.g., Tosyl-activated DYNABEADS M-450 (DYNAL Inc, 5 Delaware Drive, Lake Success, N.Y. 11042 Prod No. 140.03, 140.04). Beads may be coated as described in Example 13, or generally by dissolving the coating material in carbonate buffer (pH 9.6, 0.2 M) or other method known in the art. Use of beads conveniently allows the quantity of protein bound to the bead surface to be determined with a good degree of accuracy. Standard Fc-protein quantification methods can be used for coupled protein quantification on beads. Any suitable method can be used, with reference to a relevant standard within the dynamic range of the assay. DELFIA is exemplified in Example 13, but ELISA or other methods could be used.


Agonism activity of an antibody can also be measured in primary human T lymphocytes ex vivo. The ability of an antibody to induce expression of IFNγ in such T cells is indicative of ICOS agonism. Described herein are two T cell activation assays using primary cells—see Example 2, T cell activation assay 1 and T cell activation assay 2. Preferably, an antibody will show significant (p<0.05) induction of IFNγ at 5 μg/ml compared with control antibody in T cell activation assay 1 and/or T cell activation assay 2. As noted above, an anti-ICOS antibody may stimulate T cell activation to a greater degree than ICOS-L or C398.4 in such an assay. Thus, the antibody may show significantly (p<0.05) greater induction of IFNγ at 5 μg/ml compared with the control or reference antibody in T cell activation assay 1 or 2. TNFα or IL-2 induction may be measured as an alternative assay readout.


Agonism of an anti-ICOS antibody may contribute to its ability to change the balance between populations of TReg and TEff cells in vivo, e.g., in a site of pathology such as a tumour microenvironment, in favour of TEff cells. The ability of an antibody to enhance tumour cell killing by activated ICOS-positive effector T cells may be determined, as discussed elsewhere herein.


T Cell Dependent Killing

Effector T cell function can be determined in a biologically relevant context using an in vitro co-culture assay where tumour cells are incubated with relevant immune cells to trigger immune cell-dependent killing, in which the effect of an anti-ICOS antibody on tumour cell killing by TEffs is observed.


The ability of an antibody to enhance tumour cell killing by activated ICOS-positive effector T cells may be determined. An anti-ICOS antibody may stimulate significantly greater (p<0.05) tumour cell killing compared with a control antibody. An anti-ICOS antibody may stimulate similar or greater tumour cell killing in such an assay as compared with a reference molecule such as the ICOS ligand or the C398.4 antibody. A similar degree of tumour cell killing can be represented as the assay readout for the test antibody being less than two-fold different from that for the reference molecule.


ICOS Ligand-Receptor Neutralisation Potency

An antibody according to the present invention may be one which inhibits binding of ICOS to its ligand ICOSL.


The degree to which an antibody inhibits binding of the ICOS receptor to its ligand is referred to as its ligand-receptor neutralising potency. Potency is normally expressed as an IC50 value, in pM unless otherwise stated. In ligand-binding studies, IC50 is the concentration that reduces receptor binding by 50% of maximal specific binding level. IC50 may be calculated by plotting % specific receptor binding as a function of the log of the antibody concentration, and using a software program such as Prism (GraphPad) to fit a sigmoidal function to the data to generate IC50 values. Neutralising potency may be determined in an HTRF assay. A detailed working example of an HTRF assay for ligand-receptor neutralising potency is set out in Example 8.


An IC50 value may represent the mean of a plurality of measurements. Thus, for example, IC50 values may be obtained from the results of triplicate experiments, and a mean IC50 value can then be calculated.


An antibody may have an IC50 of 1 mM or less in a ligand-receptor neutralisation assay, e.g., 0.5 mM or less. The IC50 may be, 30 nM or less, 20 nM or less, 10 nM or less, 5 nM or less, 4 nM or less, 3 nM or less or 2 nM or less. The IC50 may be at least 0.1 nM, at least 0.5 nM or at least 1 nM.

Antibodies according to the present invention are immunoglobulins or molecules comprising immunoglobulin domains, whether natural or partly or wholly synthetically produced. Antibodies may be IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD or IgE molecules or antigen-specific antibody fragments thereof (including, but not limited to, a Fab, F(ab′)2, Fv, disulphide linked Fv, scFv, single domain antibody, closed conformation multispecific antibody, disulphide-linked scfv, diabody), whether derived from any species that naturally produces an antibody, or created by recombinant DNA technology; whether isolated from serum, B-cells, hybridomas, transfectomas, yeast or bacteria. Antibodies can be humanised using routine technology. The term antibody covers any polypeptide or protein comprising an antibody antigen-binding site. An antigen-binding site (paratope) is the part of an antibody that binds to and is complementary to the epitope of its target antigen (ICOS).


The term “epitope” refers to a region of an antigen that is bound by an antibody. Epitopes may be defined as structural or functional. Functional epitopes are generally a subset of the structural epitopes and have those residues that directly contribute to the affinity of the interaction. Epitopes may also be conformational, that is, composed of non-linear amino acids. In certain embodiments, epitopes may include determinants that are chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids, sugar side chains, phosphoryl groups, or sulfonyl groups, and, in certain embodiments, may have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, and/or specific charge characteristics.


The antigen binding site is a polypeptide or domain that comprises one or more CDRs of an antibody and is capable of binding the antigen. For example, the polypeptide comprises a CDR3 (e.g., HCDR3). For example the polypeptide comprises CDRs 1 and 2 (e.g., HCDR1 and 2) or CDRs 1-3 of a variable domain of an antibody (e.g., HCDRs1-3).


An antibody antigen-binding site may be provided by one or more antibody variable domains. In an example, the antibody binding site is provided by a single variable domain, e.g., a heavy chain variable domain (VH domain) or a light chain variable domain (VL domain). In another example, the binding site comprises a VH/VL pair or two or more of such pairs. Thus, an antibody antigen-binding site may comprise a VH and a VL.


The antibody may be a whole immunoglobulin, including constant regions, or may be an antibody fragment. An antibody fragment is a portion of an intact antibody, for example comprising the antigen binding and/or variable region of the intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include:


(i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab′)2 fragment, a bivalent fragment including two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region;


(iii) an Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains;


(iv) an Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody,


(v) a dAb fragment (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341:544-546; which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety), which consists of a VH or VL domain; and


(vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR) that retains specific antigen-binding functionality.


Further examples of antibodies are H2 antibodies that comprise a dimer of a heavy chain (5′-VH-(optional hinge)-CH2-CH3-3′) and are devoid of a light chain.


Single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv) are a commonly used fragment. Multispecific antibodies may be formed from antibody fragments. An antibody of the invention may employ any such format, as appropriate.


Optionally, the antibody immunoglobulin domains may be fused or conjugated to additional polypeptide sequences and/or to labels, tags, toxins or other molecules. Antibody immunoglobulin domains may be fused or conjugated to one or more different antigen binding regions, providing a molecule that is able to bind a second antigen in addition to ICOS. An antibody of the present invention may be a multispecific antibody, e.g., a bispecific antibody, comprising (i) an antibody antigen binding site for ICOS and (ii) a further antigen binding site (optionally an antibody antigen binding site, as described herein) which recognises another antigen (e.g., PD-L1).


An antibody normally comprises an antibody VH and/or VL domain. Isolated VH and VL domains of antibodies are also part of the invention. The antibody variable domains are the portions of the light and heavy chains of antibodies that include amino acid sequences of complementarity determining regions (CDRs; ie., CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3), and framework regions (FRs). Thus, within each of the VH and VL domains are CDRs and FRs. A VH domain comprises a set of HCDRs, and a VL domain comprises a set of LCDRs. VH refers to the variable domain of the heavy chain. VL refers to the variable domain of the light chain. Each VH and VL is typically composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. According to the methods used in this invention, the amino acid positions assigned to CDRs and FRs may be defined according to Kabat (Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1987 and 1991)) or according to IMGT nomenclature. An antibody may comprise an antibody VH domain comprising a VH CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 and a framework. It may alternatively or also comprise an antibody VL domain comprising a VL CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 and a framework. Examples of antibody VH and VL domains and CDRs according to the present invention are as listed in the appended sequence listing that forms part of the present disclosure. The CDRs shown in the sequence listing are defined according to the IMGT system [18]. All VH and VL sequences, CDR sequences, sets of CDRs and sets of HCDRs and sets of LCDRs disclosed herein represent aspects and embodiments of the invention. As described herein, a “set of CDRs” comprises CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3. Thus, a set of HCDRs refers to HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3, and a set of LCDRs refers to LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3. Unless otherwise stated, a “set of CDRs” includes HCDRs and LCDRs.


An antibody the invention may comprise one or more CDRs as described herein, e.g. a CDR3, and optionally also a CDR1 and CDR2 to form a set of CDRs. The CDR or set of CDRs may be a CDR or set of CDRs of any of STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009, or may be a variant thereof as described herein.


The invention provides antibodies comprising an HCDR1, HCDR2 and/or HCDR3 of any of antibodies STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009 and/or an LCDR1, LCDR2 and/or LCDR3 of any of these antibodies, e.g. a set of CDRs. The antibody may comprise a set of VH CDRs of one of these antibodies. Optionally it may also comprise a set of VL CDRs of one of these antibodies, and the VL CDRs may be from the same or a different antibody as the VH CDRs.


A VH domain comprising a disclosed set of HCDRs, and/or a VL domain comprising a disclosed set of LCDRs, are also provided by the invention.


Typically, a VH domain is paired with a VL domain to provide an antibody antigen-binding site, although as discussed further below a VH or VL domain alone may be used to bind antigen. The STIM003 VH domain may be paired with the STIM003 VL domain, so that an antibody antigen-binding site is formed comprising both the STIM003 VH and VL domains. Analogous embodiments are provided for the other VH and VL domains disclosed herein. In other embodiments, the STIM003 VH is paired with a VL domain other than the STIM003 VL. Light-chain promiscuity is well established in the art. Again, analogous embodiments are provided by the invention for the other VH and VL domains disclosed herein.


Thus, the VH of any of antibodies STIM001, STIM002, STIM003, STIM004 and STIM005 may be paired with the VL of any of antibodies STIM001, STIM002, STIM003, STIM004 and STIM005. Further, the VH of any of antibodies STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009 may be paired with the VL of any of antibodies STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 or STIM009.


An antibody may comprise one or more CDRs, e.g. a set of CDRs, within an antibody framework. The framework regions may be of human germline gene segment sequences. Thus, the antibody may be a human antibody having a VH domain comprising a set of HCDRs in a human germline framework. Normally the antibody also has a VL domain comprising a set of LCDRs, e.g. in a human germline framework. An antibody “gene segment”, e.g., a VH gene segment, D gene segment, or JH gene segment refers to oligonucleotide having a nucleic acid sequence from which that portion of an antibody is derived, e.g., a VH gene segment is an oligonucleotide comprising a nucleic acid sequence that corresponds to a polypeptide VH domain from FR1 to part of CDR3. Human V, D and J gene segments recombine to generate the VH domain, and human V and J segments recombine to generate the VL domain. The D domain or region refers to the diversity domain or region of an antibody chain. J domain or region refers to the joining domain or region of an antibody chain. Somatic hypermutation may result in an antibody VH or VL domain having framework regions that do not exactly match or align with the corresponding gene segments, but sequence alignment can be used to identify the closest gene segments and thus identify from which particular combination of gene segments a particular VH or VL domain is derived. When aligning antibody sequences with gene segments, the antibody amino acid sequence may be aligned with the amino acid sequence encoded by the gene segment, or the antibody nucleotide sequence may be aligned directly with the nucleotide sequence of the gene segment.


Alignments of STIM antibody VH and VL domain sequences against related antibodies and against human germline sequences are shown in FIG. 35, FIG. 36 and FIG. 37.


An antibody of the invention may be a human antibody or a chimaeric antibody comprising human variable regions and non-human (e.g., mouse) constant regions. The antibody of the invention for example has human variable regions, and optionally also has human constant regions.


Thus, antibodies optionally include constant regions or parts thereof, e.g., human antibody constant regions or parts thereof. For example, a VL domain may be attached at its C-terminal end to antibody light chain kappa or lambda constant domains. Similarly, an antibody VH domain may be attached at its C-terminal end to all or part (e.g. a CH1 domain or Fc region) of an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region derived from any antibody isotype, e.g. IgG, IgA, IgE and IgM and any of the isotype sub-classes, such as IgG1 or IgG4.


Examples of human heavy chain constant regions are shown in Table S1.


Constant regions of antibodies of the invention may alternatively be non-human constant regions. For example, when antibodies are generated in transgenic animals (examples of which are described elsewhere herein), chimaeric antibodies may be produced comprising human variable regions and non-human (host animal) constant regions. Some transgenic animals generate fully human antibodies. Others have been engineered to generate antibodies comprising chimaeric heavy chains and fully human light chains. Where antibodies comprise one or more non-human constant regions, these may be replaced with human constant regions to provide antibodies more suitable for administration to humans as therapeutic compositions, as their immunogenicity is thereby reduced.


Digestion of antibodies with the enzyme papain, results in two identical antigen-binding fragments, known also as “Fab” fragments, and a “Fc” fragment, having no antigen-binding activity but having the ability to crystallize. “Fab” when used herein refers to a fragment of an antibody that includes one constant and one variable domain of each of the heavy and light chains. The term “Fc region” herein is used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, including native-sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. The “Fc fragment” refers to the carboxy-terminal portions of both H chains held together by disulfides. The effector functions of antibodies are determined by sequences in the Fc region, the region which is also recognised by Fc receptors (FcR) found on certain types of cells. Digestion of antibodies with the enzyme pepsin, results in the a F(ab′)2 fragment in which the two arms of the antibody molecule remain linked and comprise two-antigen binding sites. The F(ab′)2 fragment has the ability to crosslink antigen.


“Fv” when used herein refers to the minimum fragment of an antibody that retains both antigen-recognition and antigen-binding sites. This region consists of a dimer of one heavy and one light chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent or covalent association. It is in this configuration that the three CDRs of each variable domain interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. Collectively, the six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv comprising only three CDRs specific for an antigen) has the ability to recognise and bind antigen, although at a lower affinity than the entire binding site.


Antibodies disclosed herein may be modified to increase or decrease serum half-life. In one embodiment, one or more of the following mutations: T252L, T254S or T256F are introduced to increase biological half-life of the antibody. Biological half-life can also be increased by altering the heavy chain constant region CH1 domain or CL region to contain a salvage receptor binding epitope taken from two loops of a CH2 domain of an Fc region of an IgG, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,869,046 and 6,121,022, the modifications described therein are incorporated herein by reference. In another embodiment, the Fc hinge region of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the invention is mutated to decrease the biological half-life of the antibody or fragment. One or more amino acid mutations are introduced into the CH2-CH3 domain interface region of the Fc-hinge fragment such that the antibody or fragment has impaired Staphylococcyl protein A (SpA) binding relative to native Fc-hinge domain SpA binding. Other methods of increasing serum half-life are known to those skilled in the art. Thus, in one embodiment, the antibody or fragment is PEGylated. In another embodiment, the antibody or fragment is fused to an albumin-biding domain, e.g. an albumin binding single domain antibody (dAb). In another embodiment, the antibody or fragment is PASylated (i.e. genetic fusion of polypeptide sequences composed of PAS (XL-Protein GmbH) which forms uncharged random coil structures with large hydrodynamic volume). In another embodiment, the antibody or fragment is XTENylated®/rPEGylated (i.e. genetic fusion of non-exact repeat peptide sequence (Amunix, Versartis) to the therapeutic peptide). In another embodiment, the antibody or fragment is ELPylated (i.e. genetic fusion to ELP repeat sequence (PhaseBio)). These various half-life extending fusions are described in more detail in Strohl, BioDrugs (2015) 29:215-239, which fusions, e.g. in Tables 2 and 6, are incorporated herein by reference.


The antibody may have a modified constant region which increases stability. Thus, in one embodiment, the heavy chain constant region comprises a Ser228Pro mutation. In another embodiment, the antibodies and fragments disclosed herein comprise a heavy chain hinge region that has been modified to alter the number of cysteine residues. This modification can be used to facilitate assembly of the light and heavy chains or to increase or decrease the stability of the antibody.


Fc Effector Functions, ADCC, ADCP and CDC

As discussed above, anti-ICOS antibodies can be provided in various isotypes and with different constant regions. Examples of human IgG antibody heavy chain constant region sequences are shown in Table S1. The Fc region of the antibody primarily determines its effector function in terms of Fc binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity, complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity and antibody-dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP) activity. These “cellular effector functions”, as distinct from effector T cell function, involve recruitment of cells bearing Fc receptors to the site of the target cells, resulting in killing of the antibody-bound cell. In addition to ADCC and CDC, the ADCP mechanism [19] represents a means of depleting antibody-bound T cells, and thus targeting high ICOS expressing TRegs for deletion.


Cellular effector functions ADCC, ADCP and/or CDC may also be exhibited by antibodies lacking Fc regions. Antibodies may comprise multiple different antigen-binding sites, one directed to ICOS and another directed to a target molecule where engagement of that target molecule induces ADCC, ADCP and/or CDC, e.g., an antibody comprising two scFv regions joined by a linker, where one scFv can engage an effector cell.


An antibody according to the present invention may be one that exhibits ADCC, ADCP and/or CDC. Alternatively, an antibody according to the present invention may lack ADCC, ADCP and/or CDC activity. In either case, an antibody according to the present invention may comprise, or may optionally lack, an Fc region that binds to one or more types of Fc receptor. Use of different antibody formats, and the presence or absence of FcR binding and cellular effector functions, allow the antibody to be tailored for use in particular therapeutic purposes as discussed elsewhere herein.


A suitable antibody format for some therapeutic applications employs a wild-type human IgG1 constant region. A constant region may be an effector-enabled IgG1 constant region, optionally having ADCC and/or CDC and/or ADCP activity. A suitable wild type human IgG1 constant region sequence is SEQ ID NO: 340 (IGHG1*01). Further examples of human IgG1 constant regions are shown in Table S1.


For testing of candidate therapeutic antibodies in mouse models of human disease, an effector positive mouse constant region, such as mouse IgG2a (mIgG2a), may be included instead of an effector positive human constant region.


A constant region may be engineered for enhanced ADCC and/or CDC and/or ADCP.


The potency of Fc-mediated effects may be enhanced by engineering the Fc domain by various established techniques. Such methods increase the affinity for certain Fc-receptors, thus creating potential diverse profiles of activation enhancement. This can achieved by modification of one or several amino acid residues [20]. Human IgG1 constant regions containing specific mutations or altered glycosylation on residue Asn297 (e.g., N297Q, EU index numbering) have been shown to enhance binding to Fc receptors. Example mutations are one or more of the residues selected from 239, 332 and 330 for human IgG1 constant regions (or the equivalent positions in other IgG isotypes). An antibody may thus comprise a human IgG1 constant region having one or more mutations independently selected from N297Q, S239D, 1332E and A330L (EU index numbering). A triple mutation (M252Y/S254T/T256E) may be used to enhance binding to FcRn, and other mutations affecting FcRn binding are discussed in Table 2 of [21], any of which may be employed in the present invention.


Increased affinity for Fc receptors can also be achieved by altering the natural glycosylation profile of the Fc domain by, for example, generating under fucosylated or de-fucosylated variants [22]. Non-fucosylated antibodies harbour a tri-mannosyl core structure of complex-type N-glycans of Fc without fucose residue. These glycoengineered antibodies that lack core fucose residue from the Fc N-glycans may exhibit stronger ADCC than fucosylated equivalents due to enhancement of FcγRIIIa binding capacity. For example, to increase ADCC, residues in the hinge region can be altered to increase binding to Fc-gamma RIII [23]. Thus, an antibody may comprise a human IgG heavy chain constant region that is a variant of a wild-type human IgG heavy chain constant region, wherein the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region binds to human Fcγ receptors selected from the group consisting of FcγRIIB and FcγRIIA with higher affinity than the wild type human IgG heavy chain constant region binds to the human Fcγ receptors. The antibody may comprise a human IgG heavy chain constant region that is a variant of a wild type human IgG heavy chain constant region, wherein the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region binds to human FcγRIIB with higher affinity than the wild type human IgG heavy chain constant region binds to human FcγRIIB. The variant human IgG heavy chain constant region can be a variant human IgG1, a variant human IgG2, or a variant human IgG4 heavy chain constant region. In one embodiment, the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region comprises one or more amino acid mutations selected from G236D, P238D, S239D, S267E, L328F, and L328E (EU index numbering system). In another embodiment, the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region comprises a set of amino acid mutations selected from the group consisting of: S267E and L328F; P238D and L328E; P238D and one or more substitutions selected from the group consisting of E233D, G237D, H268D, P271G, and A330R; P238D, E233D, G237D, H268D, P271G, and A330R; G236D and S267E; S239D and S267E; V262E, S267E, and L328F; and V264E, S267E, and L328F (EU index numbering system). The enhancement of CDC may be achieved by amino acid changes that increase affinity for C1q, the first component of the classic complement activation cascade [24]. Another approach is to create a chimeric Fc domain created from human IgG1 and human IgG3 segments that exploit the higher affinity of IgG3 for C1q [25]. Antibodies of the present invention may comprise mutated amino acids at residues 329, 331 and/or 322 to alter the C1q binding and/or reduced or abolished CDC activity. In another embodiment, the antibodies or antibody fragments disclosed herein may contain Fc regions with modifications at residues 231 and 239, whereby the amino acids are replaced to alter the ability of the antibody to fix complement. In one embodiment, the antibody or fragment has a constant region comprising one or more mutations selected from E345K, E430G, R344D and D356R, in particular a double mutation comprising R344D and D356R (EU index numbering system).


WO2008/137915 described anti-ICOS antibodies with modified Fc regions having enhanced effector function. The antibodies were reported to mediate enhanced ADCC activity as compared to the level of ADCC activity mediated by a parent antibody comprising the VH and VK domains and a wild type Fc region. Antibodies according to the present invention may employ such variant Fc regions having effector function as described therein.


ADCC activity of an antibody may be determined in an assay as described herein. ADCC activity of an anti-ICOS antibody may be determined in vitro using an ICOS positive T cell line as described in Example 10. ADCC activity of an anti-PD-L1 antibody may be determined in vitro in an ADCC assay using PD-L1 expressing cells.


For certain applications (such as in the context of vaccination) it may be preferred to use antibodies without Fc effector function. Antibodies may be provided without a constant region, or without an Fc region—examples of such antibody formats are described elsewhere herein. Alternatively, an antibody may have a constant region which is effector null. An antibody may have a heavy chain constant region that does not bind Fcγ receptors, for example the constant region may comprise a Leu235Glu mutation (i.e., where the wild type leucine residue is mutated to a glutamic acid residue). Another optional mutation for a heavy chain constant region is Ser228Pro, which increases stability. A heavy chain constant region may be an IgG4 comprising both the Leu235Glu mutation and the Ser228Pro mutation. This “IgG4-PE” heavy chain constant region is effector null.


An alternative effector null human constant region is a disabled IgG1. A disabled IgG1 heavy chain constant region may contain alanine at position 235 and/or 237 (EU index numbering), e.g., it may be a IgG1*01 sequence comprising the L235A and/or G237A mutations (“LAGA”).


A variant human IgG heavy chain constant region may comprise one or more amino acid mutations that reduce the affinity of the IgG for human FcγRIIIA, human FcγRIIA, or human FcγRI. In one embodiment, the FcγRIIB is expressed on a cell selected from the group consisting of macrophages, monocytes, B-cells, dendritic cells, endothelial cells, and activated T-cells. In one embodiment, the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region comprises one or more of the following amino acid mutations G236A, S239D, F243L, T256A, K290A, R292P, S298A, Y300L, V305I, A330L, I332E, E333A, K334A, A339T, and P396L (EU index numbering system). In one embodiment, the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region comprises a set of amino acid mutations selected from the group consisting of: S239D; T256A; K290A; S298A; I332E; E333A; K334A; A339T; S239D and I332E; S239D, A330L, and I332E; S298A, E333A, and K334A; G236A, S239D, and I332E; and F243L, R292P, Y300L, V305I, and P396L (EU index numbering system). In one embodiment, the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region comprises a S239D, A330L, or I332E amino acid mutations (EU index numbering system). In one embodiment, the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region comprises an S239D and I332E amino acid mutations (EU index numbering system). In one embodiment, the variant human IgG heavy chain constant region is a variant human IgG1 heavy chain constant region comprising the S239D and I332E amino acid mutations (EU index numbering system). In one embodiment, the antibody or fragment comprises an afucosylated Fc region. In another embodiment, the antibody or fragment thereof is defucosylated. In another embodiment, the antibody or fragment is under fucosylated.


An antibody may have a heavy chain constant region that binds one or more types of Fc receptor but does not induce cellular effector functions, i.e., does not mediate ADCC, CDC or ADCP activity. Such a constant region may be unable to bind the particular Fc receptor(s) responsible for triggering ADCC, CDC or ADCP activity.


Generating and Modifying Antibodies

Methods for identifying and preparing antibodies are well known. Antibodies may be generated using transgenic mice (eg, the Kymouse™, Velocimouse®, Omnimouse®, Xenomouse®, HuMab Mouse® or MeMo Mouse®), rats (e.g., the Omnirat®), camelids, sharks, rabbits, chickens or other non-human animals immunised with ICOS or a fragment thereof or a synthetic peptide comprising an ICOS sequence motif of interest, followed optionally by humanisation of the constant regions and/or variable regions to produce human or humanised antibodies. In an example, display technologies can be used, such as yeast, phage or ribosome display, as will be apparent to the skilled person. Standard affinity maturation, e.g., using a display technology, can be performed in a further step after isolation of an antibody lead from a transgenic animal, phage display library or other library. Representative examples of suitable technologies are described in US20120093818 (Amgen, Inc), which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, eg, the methods set out in paragraphs [0309] to [0346].


Immunisation of an ICOS knock out non-human animal with human ICOS antigen facilitates the generation of antibodies that recognise both human and non-human ICOS. As described herein and illustrated in the Examples, an ICOS knock out mouse can be immunised with cells expressing human ICOS to stimulate production of antibodies to human and mouse ICOS in the mouse, which can be recovered and tested for binding to human ICOS and to mouse ICOS. Cross-reactive antibodies can thus be selected, which may be screened for other desirable properties as described herein. Methods of generating antibodies to an antigen (e.g., a human antigen), through immunisation of animals with the antigen where expression of the endogenous antigen (e.g, endogenous mouse antigen) has been knocked-out in the animal, may be performed in animals capable of generating antibodies comprising human variable domains. The genomes of such animals can be engineered to comprise a human or humanised immunoglobulin locus encoding human variable region gene segments, and optionally an endogenous constant region or a human constant region. Recombination of the human variable region gene segments generates human antibodies, which may have either a non-human or human constant region. Non-human constant regions may subsequently be replaced by human constant regions where the antibody is intended for in vivo use in humans. Such methods and knock-out transgenic animals are described in WO2013/061078.


Generally, a Kymouse™, VELOCIMMUNE® or other mouse or rat (optionally an ICOS knock out mouse or rat, as noted) can be challenged with the antigen of interest, and lymphatic cells (such as B-cells) are recovered from the mice that express antibodies. The lymphatic cells may be fused with a myeloma cell line to prepare immortal hybridoma cell lines, and such hybridoma cell lines are screened and selected to identify hybridoma cell lines that produce antibodies specific to the antigen of interest. DNA encoding the variable regions of the heavy chain and light chain may be isolated and linked to desirable isotypic constant regions of the heavy chain and light chain. Such an antibody protein may be produced in a cell, such as a CHO cell. Alternatively, DNA encoding the antigen-specific chimaeric antibodies or the variable domains of the light and heavy chains may be isolated directly from antigen-specific lymphocytes.


Initially, high affinity chimaeric antibodies are isolated having a human variable region and a mouse constant region. The antibodies are characterised and selected for desirable characteristics, including affinity, selectivity, agonism, T-cell dependent killing, neutralising potency, epitope, etc. The mouse constant regions are optionally replaced with a desired human constant region to generate the fully human antibody of the invention, for example wild-type or modified IgG1 or IgG4 (for example, SEQ ID NO: 751, 752, 753 in US2011/0065902 (which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). While the constant region selected may vary according to specific use, high affinity antigen-binding and target specificity characteristics reside in the variable region.


Thus, in a further aspect, the present invention provides a transgenic non-human mammal having a genome comprising a human or humanised immunoglobulin locus, wherein the mammal does not express ICOS. The mammal may for instance be a knock-out mouse or rat, or other laboratory animal species. Transgenic mice such as the Kymouse™ contain human heavy and light chain immunoglobulin loci inserted at the corresponding endogenous mouse immunoglobulin loci. A transgenic mammal according to the present invention may be one that contains such targeted insertions, or it may contain human heavy and light chain immunoglobulin loci or immunoglobulin genes that are randomly inserted in its genome, inserted at a locus other than the endogenous Ig locus, or provided on an additional chromosome or chromosomal fragment.


Further aspects of the invention are the use of such non-human mammals for producing antibodies to ICOS, and methods of producing antibodies or antibody heavy and/or light chain variable domains in such mammals.


A method of producing an antibody that binds the extracellular domain of human and non-human ICOS may comprise providing a transgenic non-human mammal having a genome comprising a human or humanised immunoglobulin locus, wherein the mammal does not express ICOS, and


(a) immunising the mammal with human ICOS antigen (e.g., with cells expressing human ICOS or with purified recombinant ICOS protein);


(b) isolating antibodies generated by the mammal;


(c) testing the antibodies for ability to bind human ICOS and non-human ICOS; and


(d) selecting one or more antibodies that binds both human and non-human ICOS.


Testing for ability to bind human ICOS and non-human ICOS may be done using surface plasmon resonance, HTRF, FACS or any other method described herein. Optionally, binding affinities for human and mouse ICOS are determined. The affinity, or fold-difference in affinity, of binding to human ICOS and mouse ICOS may be determined, and antibodies displaying species cross-reactivity may thus be selected (affinity thresholds and fold-differences that may be used as selection criteria are exemplified elsewhere herein). Neutralising potency, or fold difference in neutralising potency, of the antibody for inhibiting human and mouse ICOS ligand binding to the human and mouse ICOS receptor respectively may also or alternatively be determined as a way to screen for cross-reactive antibodies, e.g., in an HTRF assay. Again, possible thresholds and fold-differences that may be used as selection criteria are exemplified elsewhere herein.


The method may comprise testing the antibodies for ability to bind non-human ICOS from the same species or from a different species as the immunised mammal. Thus, where the transgenic mammal is a mouse (e.g., a Kymouse™), antibodies may be tested for ability to bind mouse ICOS. Where the transgenic mammal is a rat, antibodies may be tested for ability to bind rat ICOS. However, it may be equally useful to determine cross-reactivity of an isolated antibody for non-human ICOS of another species. Thus, antibodies generated in goats may be tested for binding to rat or mouse ICOS. Optionally, binding to goat ICOS may be determined instead or additionally.


In other embodiments, the transgenic non-human mammal may be immunised with non-human ICOS, optionally ICOS of the same mammalian species (e.g., an ICOS knock-out mouse may be immunised with mouse ICOS) instead of human ICOS. Affinity of isolated antibodies for binding to human ICOS and non-human ICOS is then determined in the same way, and antibodies that bind both human and non-human ICOS are selected.


Nucleic acid encoding an antibody heavy chain variable domain and/or an antibody light chain variable domain of a selected antibody may be isolated. Such nucleic acid may encode the full antibody heavy chain and/or light chain, or the variable domain(s) without associated constant region(s). As noted, encoding nucleotide sequences may be obtained directly from antibody-producing cells of a mouse, or B cells may be immortalised or fused to generate hybridomas expressing the antibody, and encoding nucleic acid obtained from such cells. Optionally, nucleic acid encoding the variable domain(s) is then conjugated to a nucleotide sequence encoding a human heavy chain constant region and/or human light chain constant region, to provide nucleic acid encoding a human antibody heavy chain and/or human antibody light chain, e.g., encoding an antibody comprising both the heavy and light chain. As described elsewhere herein, this step is particularly useful where the immunised mammal produces chimaeric antibodies with non-human constant regions, which are preferably replaced with human constant regions to generate an antibody that will be less immunogenic when administered to humans as a medicament. Provision of particular human isotype constant regions is also significant for determining the effector function of the antibody, and a number of suitable heavy chain constant regions are discussed herein.


Other alterations to nucleic acid encoding the antibody heavy and/or light chain variable domain may be performed, such as mutation of residues and generation of variants, as described herein.


The isolated (optionally mutated) nucleic acid may be introduced into host cells, e.g., CHO cells as discussed. Host cells are then cultured under conditions for expression of the antibody, or of the antibody heavy and/or light chain variable domain, in any desired antibody format. Some possible antibody formats are described herein, e.g., whole immunoglobulins, antigen-binding fragments, and other designs.


Variable domain amino acid sequence variants of any of the VH and VL domains or CDRs whose sequences are specifically disclosed herein may be employed in accordance with the present invention, as discussed.


There are many reasons why it may be desirable to create variants, which include optimising the antibody sequence for large-scale manufacturing, facilitating purification, enhancing stability or improving suitability for inclusion in a desired pharmaceutical formulation.


Protein engineering work can be performed at one or more target residues in the antibody sequence, e.g., to substituting one amino acid with an alternative amino acid (optionally, generating variants containing all naturally occurring amino acids at this position, with the possible exception of Cys and Met), and monitoring the impact on function and expression to determine the best substitution. It is in some instances undesirable to substitute a residue with Cys or Met, or to introduce these residues into a sequence, as to do so may generate difficulties in manufacturing—for instance through the formation of new intramolecular or intermolecular cysteine-cysteine bonds. Where a lead candidate has been selected and is being optimised for manufacturing and clinical development, it will generally be desirable to change its antigen-binding properties as little as possible, or at least to retain the affinity and potency of the parent molecule. However, variants may also be generated in order to modulate key antibody characteristics such as affinity, cross-reactivity or neutralising potency.


An antibody may comprise a set of H and/or L CDRs of any of the disclosed antibodies with one or more amino acid mutations within the disclosed set of H and/or L CDRs. The mutation may be an amino acid substitution, deletion or insertion. Thus for example there may be one or more amino acid substitutions within the disclosed set of H and/or L CDRs. For example, there may be up to 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 mutations e.g. substitutions, within the set of H and/or L CDRs. For example, there may be up to 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 mutations, e.g. substitutions, in HCDR3 and/or there may be up to 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 mutations, e.g. substitutions, in LCDR3. An antibody may comprise the set of HCDRs, LCDRs or a set of 6 (H and L) CDRs shown for any STIM antibody herein or may comprise that set of CDRs with one or two conservative substitutions.


One or more amino acid mutations may optionally be made in framework regions of an antibody VH or VL domain disclosed herein. For example, one or more residues that differ from the corresponding human germline segment sequence may be reverted to germline. Human germline gene segment sequences corresponding to VH and VL domains of example anti-ICOS antibodies are indicated in Table E12-1, Table E12-2 and Table E12-3, and alignments of antibody VH and VL domains to corresponding germline sequences are shown in the drawings.


An antibody may comprise a VH domain that has at least 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 98 or 99% amino acid sequence identity with a VH domain of any of the antibodies shown in the appended sequence listing, and/or comprising a VL domain that has at least 60, 70, 80, 85, 90, 95, 98 or 99% amino acid sequence identity with a VL domain of any of those antibodies. Algorithms that can be used to calculate % identity of two amino acid sequences include e.g. BLAST, FASTA, or the Smith-Waterman algorithm, e.g. employing default parameters. Particular variants may include one or more amino acid sequence alterations (addition, deletion, substitution and/or insertion of an amino acid residue).


Alterations may be made in one or more framework regions and/or one or more CDRs. Variants are optionally provided by CDR mutagenesis. The alterations normally do not result in loss of function, so an antibody comprising a thus-altered amino acid sequence may retain an ability to bind ICOS. It may retain the same quantitative binding ability as an antibody in which the alteration is not made, e.g. as measured in an assay described herein. The antibody comprising a thus-altered amino acid sequence may have an improved ability to bind ICOS.


Alteration may comprise replacing one or more amino acid residue with a non-naturally occurring or non-standard amino acid, modifying one or more amino acid residue into a non-naturally occurring or non-standard form, or inserting one or more non-naturally occurring or non-standard amino acid into the sequence. Examples of numbers and locations of alterations in sequences of the invention are described elsewhere herein. Naturally occurring amino acids include the 20 “standard” L-amino acids identified as G, A, V, L, I, M, P, F, W, S, T, N, Q, Y, C, K, R, H, D, E by their standard single-letter codes. Non-standard amino acids include any other residue that may be incorporated into a polypeptide backbone or result from modification of an existing amino acid residue. Non-standard amino acids may be naturally occurring or non-naturally occurring.


The term “variant” as used herein refers to a peptide or nucleic acid that differs from a parent polypeptide or nucleic acid by one or more amino acid or nucleic acid deletions, substitutions or additions, yet retains one or more specific functions or biological activities of the parent molecule. Amino acid substitutions include alterations in which an amino acid is replaced with a different naturally-occurring amino acid residue. Such substitutions may be classified as “conservative”, in which case an amino acid residue contained in a polypeptide is replaced with another naturally occurring amino acid of similar character either in relation to polarity, side chain functionality or size. Such conservative substitutions are well known in the art. Substitutions encompassed by the present invention may also be “non-conservative”, in which an amino acid residue which is present in a peptide is substituted with an amino acid having different properties, such as naturally-occurring amino acid from a different group (e.g., substituting a charged or hydrophobic amino; acid with alanine), or alternatively, in which a naturally-occurring amino acid is substituted with a non-conventional amino acid. In some embodiments amino acid substitutions are conservative. Also encompassed within the term variant when used with reference to a polynucleotide or polypeptide, refers to a polynucleotide or polypeptide that can vary in primary, secondary, or tertiary structure, as compared to a reference polynucleotide or polypeptide, respectively (e.g., as compared to a wild-type polynucleotide or polypeptide).


In some aspects, one can use “synthetic variants”, “recombinant variants”, or “chemically modified” polynucleotide variants or polypeptide variants isolated or generated using methods well known in the art. “Modified variants” can include conservative or non-conservative amino acid changes, as described below. Polynucleotide changes can result in amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, fusions and truncations in the polypeptide encoded by the reference sequence. Some aspects use include insertion variants, deletion variants or substituted variants with substitutions of amino acids, including insertions and substitutions of amino acids and other molecules) that do not normally occur in the peptide sequence that is the basis of the variant, for example but not limited to insertion of ornithine which do not normally occur in human proteins. The term “conservative substitution,” when describing a polypeptide, refers to a change in the amino acid composition of the polypeptide that does not substantially alter the polypeptide's activity. For example, a conservative substitution refers to substituting an amino acid residue for a different amino acid residue that has similar chemical properties (e.g., acidic, basic, positively or negatively charged, polar or nonpolar, etc.). Conservative amino acid substitutions include replacement of a leucine with an isoleucine or valine, an aspartate with a glutamate, or a threonine with a serine. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. For example, the following six groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another: 1) Alanine (A), Serine (S), Threonine (T); 2) Aspartic acid (D), Glutamic acid (E); 3) Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q); 4) Arginine (R), Lysine (K); 5) Isoleucine (I), Leucine (L), Methionine (M), Valine (V); and 6) Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y), Tryptophan (W). (See also Creighton, Proteins, W. H. Freeman and Company (1984), incorporated by reference in its entirety.) In some embodiments, individual substitutions, deletions or additions that alter, add or delete a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids can also be considered “conservative substitutions” if the change does not reduce the activity of the peptide. Insertions or deletions are typically in the range of about 1 to 5 amino acids. The choice of conservative amino acids may be selected based on the location of the amino acid to be substituted in the peptide, for example if the amino acid is on the exterior of the peptide and expose to solvents, or on the interior and not exposed to solvents.


One can select the amino acid that will substitute an existing amino acid based on the location of the existing amino acid, including its exposure to solvents (i.e., if the amino acid is exposed to solvents or is present on the outer surface of the peptide or polypeptide as compared to internally localized amino acids not exposed to solvents). Selection of such conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art, for example as disclosed in Dordo et al, J. Mol Biol, 1999, 217, 721-739 and Taylor et al, J. Theor. Biol. 119(1986); 205-218 and S. French and B. Robson, J. Mol. Evol. 19(1983)171. Accordingly, one can select conservative amino acid substitutions suitable for amino acids on the exterior of a protein or peptide (i.e. amino acids exposed to a solvent), for example, but not limited to, the following substitutions can be used: substitution of Y with F, T with S or K, P with A, E with D or Q, N with D or G, R with K, G with N or A, T with S or K, D with N or E, I with L or V, F with Y, S with T or A, R with K, G with N or A, K with R, A with S, K or P.


In alternative embodiments, one can also select conservative amino acid substitutions encompassed suitable for amino acids on the interior of a protein or peptide, for example one can use suitable conservative substitutions for amino acids is on the interior of a protein or peptide (i.e. the amino acids are not exposed to a solvent), for example but not limited to, one can use the following conservative substitutions: where Y is substituted with F, T with A or S, I with L or V, W with Y, M with L, N with D, G with A, T with A or S, D with N, I with L or V, F with Y or L, S with A or T and A with S, G, T or V. In some embodiments, non-conservative amino acid substitutions are also encompassed within the term of variants.


The invention includes methods of producing antibodies containing VH and/or VL domain variants of the antibody VH and/or VL domains shown in the appended sequence listing. Such antibodies may be produced by a method comprising


(i) providing, by way of addition, deletion, substitution or insertion of one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of a parent antibody VH domain, an antibody VH domain that is an amino acid sequence variant of the parent antibody VH domain,


wherein the parent antibody VH domain is the VH domain of any of antibodies STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009 or a VH domain comprising the heavy chain complementarity determining regions of any of those antibodies,


(ii) optionally combining the VH domain thus provided with a VL domain, to provide a VH/VL combination, and


(iii) testing the VH domain or VH/VL domain combination thus provided to identify an antibody with one or more desired characteristics.


Desired characteristics include binding to human ICOS, binding to mouse ICOS, and binding to other non-human ICOS such as cynomolgus ICOS. Antibodies with comparable or higher affinity for human and/or mouse ICOS may be identified. Other desired characteristics include increasing effector T cell function indirectly, via depletion of immunosuppressive TRegs, or directly, via ICOS signalling activation on T effector cells. Identifying an antibody with a desired characteristic may comprise identifying an antibody with a functional attribute described herein, such as its affinity, cross-reactivity, specificity, ICOS receptor agonism, neutralising potency and/or promotion of T cell dependent killing, any of which may be determined in assays as described herein.


When VL domains are included in the method, the VL domain may be a VL domain of any of STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 or STIM009, or may be a variant provided by way of addition, deletion, substitution or insertion of one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of a parent VL domain, wherein the parent VL domain is the VL domain of any of STIM001, STIM002, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009 or a VL domain comprising the light chain complementarity determining regions of any of those antibodies.


Methods of generating variant antibodies may optionally comprise producing copies of the antibody or VH/VL domain combination. Methods may further comprise expressing the resultant antibody. It is possible to produce nucleotide sequences corresponding to a desired antibody VH and/or VL domain, optionally in one or more expression vectors. Suitable methods of expression, including recombinant expression in host cells, are set out in detail herein.


Encoding Nucleic Acids and Methods of Expression

Isolated nucleic acid may be provided, encoding antibodies according to the present invention. Nucleic acid may be DNA and/or RNA. Genomic DNA, cDNA, mRNA or other RNA, of synthetic origin, or any combination thereof can encode an antibody.


The present invention provides constructs in the form of plasmids, vectors, transcription or expression cassettes which comprise at least one polynucleotide as above. Exemplary nucleotide sequences are included in the sequence listing. Reference to a nucleotide sequence as set out herein encompasses a DNA molecule with the specified sequence, and encompasses a RNA molecule with the specified sequence in which U is substituted for T, unless context requires otherwise.


The present invention also provides a recombinant host cell that comprises one or more nucleic acids encoding the antibody. Methods of producing the encoded antibody may comprise expression from the nucleic acid, e.g., by culturing recombinant host cells containing the nucleic acid. The antibody may thus be obtained, and may be isolated and/or purified using any suitable technique, then used as appropriate. A method of production may comprise formulating the product into a composition including at least one additional component, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.


Systems for cloning and expression of a polypeptide in a variety of different host cells are well known. Suitable host cells include bacteria, mammalian cells, plant cells, filamentous fungi, yeast and baculovirus systems and transgenic plants and animals.


The expression of antibodies and antibody fragments in prokaryotic cells is well established in the art. A common bacterial host is E. coli. Expression in eukaryotic cells in culture is also available to those skilled in the art as an option for production. Mammalian cell lines available in the art for expression of a heterologous polypeptide include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, HeLa cells, baby hamster kidney cells, NSO mouse melanoma cells, YB2/0 rat myeloma cells, human embryonic kidney cells, human embryonic retina cells and many others.


Vectors may contain appropriate regulatory sequences, including promoter sequences, terminator sequences, polyadenylation sequences, enhancer sequences, marker genes and other sequences as appropriate. Nucleic acid encoding an antibody can be introduced into a host cell. Nucleic acid can be introduced to eukaryotic cells by various methods, including calcium phosphate transfection, DEAE-Dextran, electroporation, liposome-mediated transfection and transduction using retrovirus or other virus, e.g. vaccinia or, for insect cells, baculovirus. Introducing nucleic acid in the host cell, in particular a eukaryotic cell may use a viral or a plasmid based system. The plasmid system may be maintained episomally or may be incorporated into the host cell or into an artificial chromosome. Incorporation may be either by random or targeted integration of one or more copies at single or multiple loci. For bacterial cells, suitable techniques include calcium chloride transformation, electroporation and transfection using bacteriophage. The introduction may be followed by expressing the nucleic acid, e.g., by culturing host cells under conditions for expression of the gene, then optionally isolating or purifying the antibody.


Nucleic acid of the invention may be integrated into the genome (e.g. chromosome) of the host cell. Integration may be promoted by inclusion of sequences that promote recombination with the genome, in accordance with standard techniques.


The present invention also provides a method that comprises using nucleic acid described herein in an expression system in order to express an antibody.


Therapeutic Use

An antibody described herein may be used in a method of treatment of the human or animal body by therapy. The antibodies find use in increasing effector T cell response, which is of benefit for a range of diseases or conditions, including treating cancers or solid tumours and in the context of vaccination. Increased Teff response may be achieved using an antibody that modulates the balance or ratio between Teffs and Tregs in favour of Teff activity.


Anti-ICOS antibodies may be used for depleting regulatory T cells and/or increasing effector T cell response in a patient, and may be administered to a patient to treat a disease or condition amenable to therapy by depleting regulatory T cells and/or increasing effector T cell response.


An antibody of the present invention, or a composition comprising such an antibody molecule or its encoding nucleic acid, may be used or provided for use in any such method. Use of the antibody, or of a composition comprising it or its encoding nucleic acid, for the manufacture of a medicament for use in any such method is also envisaged. The method typically comprises administering the antibody or composition to a mammal. Suitable formulations and methods of administration are described elsewhere herein.


One envisaged therapeutic use of the antibodies is treatment of cancer. The cancer may be a solid tumour, e.g., renal cell cancer (optionally renal cell carcinoma, e.g., clear cell renal cell carcinoma), head and neck cancer, melanoma (optionally malignant melanoma), non-small cell lung cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma), bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, testicular germ cell carcinoma, or the metastases of a solid tumour such as those listed, or it may be a liquid haematological tumour e.g., lymphoma (such as Hodgkin's lymphoma or Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, DLBCL) or leukaemia (e.g., acute myeloid leukaemia). An anti-ICOS antibody may enhance tumour clearance in melanoma, head and neck cancer and non-small cell lung cancer and other cancers with a moderate to high mutational load [26]. By enhancing patients' immune response to their neoplastic lesions, immunotherapy using an anti-ICOS antibody offers the prospect of durable cures or long-term remissions, potentially even in the context of late stage disease.


Cancers are a diverse group of diseases, but anti-ICOS antibodies offer the possibility of treating a range of different cancers by exploiting the patient's own immune system, which has the potential to kill any cancer cell through recognition of mutant or overexpressed epitopes that distinguish cancer cells from normal tissue. By modulating the Teff/Treg balance, anti-ICOS antibodies can enable and/or promote immune recognition and killing of cancer cells. While anti-ICOS antibodies are therefore useful therapeutic agents for a wide variety of cancers, there are particular categories of cancers for which anti-ICOS therapy is especially suited and/or where anti-ICOS therapy can be effective when other therapeutic agents are not.


One such group is cancer that is positive for expression of ICOS ligand. Cancer cells may acquire expression of ICOS ligand, as has been described for melanoma [27]. Expression of ICOS ligand may provide the cells with a selective advantage as the surface-expressed ligand binds ICOS on Tregs, promoting the expansion and activation of the Tregs and thereby suppressing the immune response against the cancer. Cancer cells expressing ICOS ligand may depend for their survival on this suppression of the immune system by Tregs, and would thus be vulnerable to treatment with anti-ICOS antibodies that target the Tregs. This applies also to cancers derived from cells that naturally express ICOS ligand. Continued expression of ICOS ligand by these cells again provides a survival advantage through immune suppression. A cancer expressing ICOS ligand may be derived from antigen-presenting cells such as B cells, dendritic cells and monocytes and may be a liquid haematological tumour such as those mentioned herein. Interestingly it has been shown that these types of cancer are also high in ICOS and FOXP3 expression (TCGA data)—see Example 25. Example 20 herein demonstrates efficacy of exemplary anti-ICOS antibodies in treating tumours derived from cancerous B cells (A20 syngeneic cells) that express ICOS ligand.


Accordingly, anti-ICOS antibodies can be used in methods of treating cancers that are positive for expression of ICOS ligand. Further, a cancer to be treated with anti-ICOS antibody according to the present invention may be one that is positive for expression of ICOS and/or FOXP3, and optionally also expresses ICOS ligand.


Patients may undergo testing to determine whether their cancer is positive for expression of the protein of interest (e.g., ICOS ligand, ICOS and/or FOXP3), for example by taking a test sample (e.g., tumour biopsy) from the patient and determining expression of the protein of interest. Patients whose cancer has been characterised as positive for expression of one, two or all such proteins of interest are selected for treatment with anti-ICOS antibody. As discussed elsewhere herein, anti-ICOS antibody may be used as a monotherapy or in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents.


Anti-ICOS antibodies also offer hope to patients whose cancers are refractory to treatment with antibodies or other drugs directed to immune checkpoint molecules such as CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, CD137, GITR or CD73. These immunotherapies are effective against some cancers but in some cases a cancer may not respond, or it may become unresponsive to continued treatment with the antibody. In common with antibodies to immune checkpoint inhibitors, anti-ICOS antibodies modulate the patient's immune system—nevertheless an anti-ICOS antibody may succeed where such other antibodies fail. It is shown herein that animals carrying A20 B cell lymphomas could be treated with anti-ICOS antibodies to reduce growth of the tumour, shrink the tumour and indeed clear the tumour from the body, whereas treatment with an anti-PD-L1 antibody was no better than control. The A20 cell line has also been reported to be resistant to anti-CTLA-4 [28].


Accordingly, anti-ICOS antibodies can be used in methods of treating cancers that are refractory to treatment with one or more immunotherapies, such as (any or all of) an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, anti-PD1 antibody, anti-PD-L1 antibody, anti-CD137 antibody, anti-GITR antibody, or anti-CD73 antibody. A cancer may be characterised as being refractory to treatment with an antibody or other drug if treatment with that antibody or drug does not significantly reduce growth of the cancer, e.g., if a tumour continues to grow or does not reduce in size or if after a response period the tumour re-initiates its growth. Non-response to a therapeutic agent may be determined ex vivo by testing a sample (e.g., tumour biopsy sample) for cancer cell killing or growth inhibition, and/or in the clinical setting by observing (e.g., using an imaging technology, including MRI) that a patient treated with the therapy is not responding to treatment. Patients whose cancer has been characterised as refractory to treatment with such an immunotherapy are selected for treatment with anti-ICOS antibody.


Further, anti-ICOS antibodies may be used to treat B-cell derived cancer that is resistant to treatment with an anti-CD20 antibody. Anti-ICOS antibodies represent a treatment for cancers that fail to respond to, or become resistant to, therapy with anti-CD20 antibodies like rituximab. Anti-ICOS antibody may be used as a second-line (or further, or additional) treatment for such cancers. The anti-CD20 antibody resistant cancer may be a B cell cancer, e.g., B cell lymphoma, such as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Resistance of a cancer to anti-CD20 may be determined ex vivo by testing a sample (e.g., tumour biopsy sample) for cancer cell killing or growth inhibition by anti-CD20 antibody, and/or in the clinical setting by observing that a patient treated with the anti-CD20 antibody is not responding to treatment. Alternatively, or additionally, the cancer (e.g., a tumour biopsy sample) may be tested to assess expression of CD20, where an absence or low level of CD20 expression indicates loss of sensitivity to anti-CD20 antibody.


Samples obtained from patients may thus be tested to determine surface expression of a protein of interest, for example ICOS ligand, ICOS, FOXP3 and/or a target receptor to which another therapeutic agent (e.g., anti-receptor antibody) is directed. The target receptor may be CD20 (to which anti-CD20 antibody therapy such as rituximab is directed), or another receptor such as PD1, EGFR, HER2 or HER3. Surface expression of ICOS ligand, ICOS, FOXP3 and/or lack or loss of surface expression of the target receptor is an indication that the cancer is susceptible to anti-ICOS antibody therapy. Anti-ICOS antibodies can be provided for administration to a patient whose cancer is characterised by surface expression of ICOS ligand, ICOS, FOXP3 and/or lack or loss of surface expression of a target receptor, optionally where the patient has been previously treated with anti-CTLA4, anti-PD1, anti-PD-L1 or with an antibody to the target receptor and has not responded or has stopped responding to treatment with that antibody, as measured for example by continued or renewed cancer cell growth, e.g., increase in tumour size.


Any suitable method may be employed to determine whether cancer cells test positive for surface expression of a protein such as ICOS ligand, CD20 or other target receptors mentioned herein. A typical method is immunohistochemistry, where a sample of the cells (e.g., a tumour biopsy sample) is contacted with an antibody for the protein of interest, and binding of antibody is detected using a labelled reagent—typically a second antibody that recognises the Fc region of the first antibody and carries a detectable label such as a fluorescent marker. A sample may be declared to test positive where at least 5% of cells are labelled, as visualised by cell staining or other detection of the label. Optionally a higher cut-off such as 10% or 25% may be used. The antibody will generally be used in excess. Reagent antibodies to the molecules of interest are available or may be generated by straightforward methods. To test for ICOS ligand, the antibody MAB1651 is currently available from R&D systems as a mouse IgG that recognises human ICOS ligand. To test for CD20 expression, rituximab may be used. Detection of mRNA levels of the ICOS ligand or target receptor of interest is an alternative technique [27].


A further indication that a tumour will respond to treatment with anti-ICOS antibody is the presence of Tregs in the tumour microenvironment. Activated Tregs are characterised by ICOS-high and Foxp3-high surface expression. The presence of Tregs in a tumour, especially in elevated numbers, provides a further basis on which a patient may be selected for treatment with anti-ICOS antibody. Tregs may be detected in a tumour biopsy sample ex vivo, for example by immunohistochemistry (assaying for co-expression of both Foxp3 and ICOS, using antibodies to the target protein followed by detection of labels, as described above) or by single cell dispersion of the sample for use in FACS with labelled antibodies to ICOS and Foxp3. FACS methods are exemplified in Example 17 and Example 18.


The anti-ICOS antibodies may be used for treating cancers associated with infectious agents, such as virally-induced cancers. In this category are head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, cervical cancer, Merkel cell carcinoma and many others. Viruses associated with cancer include HBV, HCV, HPV (cervical cancer, oropharyngeal cancer), and EBV (Burkitts lymphomas, gastric cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, other EBV positive B cell lymphomas, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and post transplant lymphoproliferative disease). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (Monograph 100B) identified the following major cancer sites associated with infectious agents:

    • Stomach/Gastric: Heliobacter pylori
    • Liver: Hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus (HCV), Opisthorchis viverrini, Clonorchis sinensis
    • Cervix uteri: Human papillomavirus (HPV) with or without HIV
    • Anogenital (penile, vulva, vagina, anus): HPV with or without HIV
    • Nasopharynx: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)
    • Oropharynx: HPV with or without tobacco or alcohol consumption
    • Kaposi's sarcoma: Human herpes virus type 8 with or without HIV
    • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: H. pylori, EBV with or without HIV, HCV, human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1
    • Hodgkin's lymphoma: EBV with or without HIV
    • Bladder: Schistosoma haematobium.


Antibodies according to the present invention may be used for treating cancer associated with or induced by any of these infectious agents, such as the cancers specified above.


Stimulation of effector T cell response can also contribute to immunity against infectious disease and/or to recovery from infectious disease in a patient. Thus, an anti-ICOS antibody may be used for treating infectious disease by administering the antibody to a patient.


Infectious diseases include those caused by pathogens, e.g., bacterial, fungal, viral or protozoal pathogens, and treatment may be to promote immune response in a patient against the pathogen infection. An example of a bacterial pathogen is tuberculosis. Examples of viral pathogens are hepatitis B and HIV. Examples of protozoal pathogens are Plasmodium species, which cause malaria, such as P. falciparum.


The antibody may be used for treating infections, e.g., infection by any pathogen mentioned herein. Infection may be persistent or chronic infection. Infection may be localised or systemic. Extended contact between a pathogen and the immune system may lead to exhaustion of the immune system or development of tolerance (manifested for example through increased levels of Tregs, and tipping of the Treg:Teff balance in favour of Tregs) and/or to immune evasion by the pathogen, through evolution and modification of displayed pathogen antigens. These features reflect similar processes that are believed to occur in cancer. Anti-ICOS antibodies present a therapeutic approach to treating infection by a pathogen, e.g., chronic infection, through modulation of the Treg:Teff ratio in favour of Teff and/or other effects described herein.


Treatment may be of patients who have been diagnosed as having an infectious disease or an infection. Alternatively, treatment may be preventative, and administered to a patient to guard against contracting a disease, e.g., as a vaccine, as described elsewhere herein.


It has also been proposed that an immune response, particularly an IFNγ-dependent systemic immune response, could be beneficial for treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other CNS pathologies that share a neuroinflammatory component as part [29]. WO2015/136541 proposed treatment of Alzheimer's disease using an anti-PD-1 antibody. Anti-ICOS antibodies may be used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease or other neurodegenerative diseases, optionally in combination with one or more other immunomodulators (e.g., antibody to PD-1).


Combination Therapy

Treatment with an immunomodulatory antibody such as anti-CTLA4, anti-PD1 or anti-PDL1, especially one with Fc effector function, may create an environment in which further depletion of ICOS highly expressing immune-suppressive cells is beneficial. It may be advantageous to combine an anti-ICOS antibody with such an immunomodulator to enhance its therapeutic effects.


A patient who has been treated with an immunomodulatory antibody (e.g., anti-PDL-1, anti-PD-1, anti-CTLA-4) may particularly benefit from treatment with an anti-ICOS antibody. One reason for this is that an immunomodulatory antibody may increase the number of ICOS-positive Tregs (e.g., intratumoural Tregs) in the patient. This effect is also observed with certain other therapeutic agents, such as recombinant IL-2. Anti-ICOS antibody may reduce and/or reverse a surge or rise in ICOS+ Tregs (e.g., intratumoural Tregs) resulting from treatment of the patient with another therapeutic agent. A patient selected for treatment with an anti-ICOS antibody may thus be one who has already received treatment with a first therapeutic agent, the first therapeutic agent being an antibody (e.g., immunomodulator antibody) or other agent (e.g., IL-2) that increases the number of ICOS+ Tregs in the patient.


Immunomodulators with which an anti-ICOS antibody may be combined include antibodies to any of: PDL1 (e.g., avelumab), PD-1 (e.g., pembrolizumab or nivolumab) or CTLA-4 (e.g., ipilimumab or tremelimumab). An anti-ICOS antibody may be combined with pidilizumab. In other embodiments, an anti-ICOS antibody is not administered in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibody, and/or optionally is administered in combination with a therapeutic antibody that is not an anti-CTLA-4 antibody.


For example, an anti-ICOS antibody may be used in combination therapy with an anti-PDL1 antibody. Preferably, the anti-ICOS antibody is one that mediates ADCC, ADCP and/or CDC. Preferably, the anti-PDL1 antibody is one that mediates ADCC, ADCP and/or CDC. An example of such combination therapy is administration of an anti-ICOS antibody with an anti-PDL1 antibody wherein both antibodies have effector positive constant regions. Thus, the anti-ICOS antibody and the anti-PDL1 antibody may both be able to mediate ADCC, CDC and/or ADCP. Fc effector function and selection of constant regions is described in detail elsewhere herein, but as one example an anti-ICOS human IgG1 may be combined with an anti-PD-L1 human IgG1. The anti-ICOS antibody and/or the anti-PD-L1 antibody may comprise a wild type human IgG1 constant region. Alternatively, the effector positive constant region of an antibody may be one that is engineered for enhanced effector function, e.g., enhanced CDC, ADCC and/or ADCP. Example antibody constant regions, including wild type human IgG1 sequences and mutations that alter effector function, are discussed in detail elsewhere herein.


Anti-PDL1 antibodies with which an anti-ICOS antibody may be combined include:

    • Anti-PDL1 antibody that inhibits binding of PD-1 to PDL1 and/or inhibits PDL1, optionally as effector positive human IgG1;

The anti-ICOS antibody optionally comprises the CDRs of 37A10S713 as disclosed in WO2016154177. It may comprise the VH and VL domains of 37A10S713, and may optionally have the antibody heavy and light chains of 37A10S713.


Combination of an anti-ICOS antibody with an immunomodulator may provide an increased therapeutic effect compared with monotherapy, and may allow therapeutic benefit to be achieved with a lower dose of the immunomodulator(s). Thus, for example, an antibody (e.g., anti-PD-L1 antibody, optionally ipilimumab) that is used in combination with anti-ICOS antibody may be dosed at 3 mg/kg rather than a more usual dose of 10 mg/kg. The administration regimen of the anti-PD-L1 or other antibody may involve intravenous administration over a 90 minute period every 3 weeks for a total of 4 doses.


An anti-ICOS antibody may be used to increase the sensitivity of a tumour to treatment with an anti-PD-L1 antibody, which may be recognised as a reduction in the dose at which the anti-PD-L1 antibody exerts a therapeutic benefit. Thus, anti-ICOS antibody may be administered to a patient to reduce the dose of anti-PD-L1 antibody effective to treat cancer or a tumour in the patient. Administration of anti-ICOS antibody may reduce the recommended or required dosage of anti-PD-L1 antibody administration to that patient to, for example, 75%, 50%, 25%, 20%, 10% or less, compared with the dosage when anti-PD-L1 antibody is administered without anti-ICOS. The patient may be treated by administration of anti-ICOS antibody and anti-PD-L1 antibody in a combination therapy as described herein.


The benefit of combining anti-PD-L1 with anti-ICOS may extend to a reduction in dosage of each agent when compared with its use as a monotherapy. Anti-PD-L1 antibody may be used to reduce the dose at which anti-ICOS antibody exerts a therapeutic benefit, and thus may be administered to a patient to reduce the dose of anti-ICOS antibody effective to treat cancer or a tumour in the patient. Thus, an anti-PD-L1 antibody may reduce the recommended or required dosage of anti-ICOS antibody administration to that patient to, for example, 75%, 50%, 25%, 20%, 10% or less, compared with the dosage when anti-ICOS antibody is administered without anti-PD-L1. The patient may be treated by administration of anti-ICOS antibody and anti-PD-L1 antibody in a combination therapy as described herein.


As discussed in Example 22 herein, treatment with anti-PD-L1 antibody, especially antibody with effector positive Fc, appears not to increase the expression of ICOS on Teff cells. This is advantageous when administering such antibodies in combination with effector positive anti-ICOS antibodies, where an increase in ICOS expression on Teffs would undesirably render these cells more sensitive to depletion by the anti-ICOS antibody. In a combination with anti-PD-L1, anti-ICOS therapy may thus exploit a differential expression of ICOS on Teffs compared with Tregs, preferentially targeting the ICOS-high Tregs for depletion. This in turn relieves the suppression of TEffs and has a net effect of promoting the effector T cell response in a patient. The effect of targeting immune checkpoint molecules on expression of ICOS on T cells has also been studied previously—see Figure S6C in ref. [30] (supplementary materials), where treatment with CTLA-4 antibody and/or anti-PD-1 antibody was reported to increase the percentage of CD4+ Tregs expressing ICOS. The effect of a therapeutic agent on ICOS expression in Tregs and Teffs may be a factor in selection of appropriate agents for use in combination with anti-ICOS antibodies, noting that effect of the anti-ICOS antibody may be enhanced under conditions where there is high differential expression of ICOS on Tregs versus Teffs.


As described herein, a single dose of anti-ICOS antibody may be sufficient to provide therapeutic effect, especially in combination with other therapeutic agents such as anti-PD-L1 antibody. In tumour therapy, the underlying rationale for this single dose benefit may be that the anti-ICOS antibody mediates its effect, at least in part, by resetting or altering the microenvironment of the tumour sufficiently to render the tumour more sensitive to immune attack and/or to the effects of other immunomodulators such as those mentioned. Tumour microenviroment resetting is triggered through for example depletion of ICOS positive tumour infiltrating T-regs. So, for example, a patient may be treated with a single dose of an anti-ICOS antibody followed by one or multiple doses of anti-PD-L1 antibody. Over a period of treatment, for example six months or a year, the anti-ICOS antibody may be administered in a single dose while other agents, e.g., anti-PD-L1 antibody, are optionally administered multiple times over that treatment period, preferably with at least one such dose being administered subsequent to treatment with the anti-ICOS antibody.


Further examples of combination therapy include combination of anti-ICOS antibody with:

    • an antagonist of an adenosine A2A receptor (“A2AR inhibitor”);
    • a CD137 agonist (e.g., agonist antibody);
    • an antagonist of the enzyme indoleamine-2,3 dioxygenase, which catalyses the breakdown of tryptophan (“IDO inhibitor”). IDO is an immune checkpoint, activated in dendritic cells and macrophages, which contributes to immune suppression/tolerance.


Anti-ICOS antibodies may be used in combination therapy with IL-2 (e.g., recombinant IL-2 such as aldesleukin). The IL-2 may be administered at high dose (HD). Typical HD IL-2 therapy involves bolus infusion of over 500,000 IU/kg, e.g., bolus infusions of 600,000 or 720,000 IU/kg, per cycle of therapy, where 10-15 such bolus infusions are given at intervals of between 5-10 hours, e.g., up to 15 bolus infusions every 8 hours, and repeating the therapy cycle approximately every 14 to 21 days for up to 6 to 8 cycles. HD IL-2 therapy has been successful in treating tumours, especially melanoma (e.g., metastatic melanoma) and renal cell carcinoma, but its use is limited to the high toxicity of IL-2 which can cause severe adverse effects.


Treatment with high dose IL-2 has been shown to increase the population of ICOS-positive Tregs in cancer patients [31]. This increase in ICOS+ TRegs following the first cycle of HD IL-2 therapy was reported to correlate with worse clinical outcome—the higher the number of ICOS+ Tregs, the worse the prognosis. An IL-2 variant F42K has been proposed as an alternative therapy to avoid this undesirable increase in ICOS+ Treg cells [32]. However, another approach would be to exploit the increase in ICOS+ T regs by using an antibody in accordance with the present invention as a second-line therapeutic agent.


It may be beneficial to combine IL-2 therapy with anti-ICOS antibodies, capitalising on the ability of anti-ICOS antibodies to target TRegs that highly express ICOS, inhibiting these cells and improving the prognosis for patients undergoing IL-2 therapy. Concomitant administration of IL-2 and anti-ICOS antibody may increase the response rate while avoiding or reducing adverse events in the treated patient population. The combination may permit IL-2 to be used at lower dose compared with IL-2 monotherapy, reducing the risk or level of adverse events arising from the IL-2 therapy, while retaining or enhancing clinical benefit (e.g., reduction of tumour growth, clearance of solid tumour and/or reduction of metastasis). In this way, addition of anti-ICOS can improve treatment of patients who are receiving IL-2, whether high-dose (HD) or low-dose (LD) IL-2.


Accordingly, one aspect of the invention provides a method of treating a patient by administering an anti-ICOS antibody to the patient, wherein the patient is also treated with IL-2, e.g., HD IL-2. Another aspect of the invention is an anti-ICOS antibody for use in treating a patient, wherein the patient is also treated with IL-2, e.g., HD IL-2. The anti-ICOS antibody may be used as a second-line therapy. Thus, the patient may be one who has been treated with IL-2, e.g., having received at least one cycle of HD IL-2 therapy, and who has an increased level of ICOS+ Tregs. Assays may be performed on samples of cancer cells, e.g., tumour biopsy samples, using immunohistochemistry or FACS as described elsewhere herein to detect cells positive for ICOS, Foxp3, ICOSL and optionally one or more further markers of interest. Methods may comprise determining that the patient has an increased level of ICOS+ Tregs (e.g., in peripheral blood, or in a tumour biopsy) following IL-2 treatment, where an increased level is indicative that the patient would benefit from treatment with the anti-ICOS antibody. The increase in Tregs may be relative to control (untreated) individuals or to the patient prior to IL-2 therapy. Such patients with elevated Tregs represent a group who may not benefit from continued IL-2 treatment alone, but for whom a combination of anti-ICOS antibody and IL-2 therapy, or treatment with anti-ICOS antibody alone, offers therapeutic benefit. Thus, following a positive determination that the patient has an increased level of ICOS+ Tregs, anti-ICOS antibody and/or further IL-2 therapy may be administered. Treatment with the anti-ICOS antibody may selectively target and deplete the ICOS+ Tregs relative to other T cell populations in such patients. This provides a therapeutic effect by relieving the immunosuppression mediated by these cells and thereby enhancing activity of Teffs against the target cells, e.g., tumour cells or infected cells.


Combination therapy with anti-ICOS antibodies and IL-2 may be used for any therapeutic indication described herein, and particularly for treating a tumour, e.g., melanoma such as metastatic melanoma, or renal cell carcinoma. Thus, in one example, the patient treated with an anti-ICOS antibody is one who presents with metastatic melanoma and has been treated with IL-2, e.g., HD IL-2 therapy or LD IL-2 therapy.


In general, where an anti-ICOS antibody is administered to a patient who has received treatment with a first therapeutic agent (e.g., immunomodulator antibody) or other agent (e.g., IL-2), the anti-ICOS antibody may be administered after a minimum period of, for example, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 1 week or 2 weeks following administration of the first therapeutic agent. The anti-ICOS antibody may be administered within 2, 3, 4 or 5 weeks after administration of the first therapeutic agent. This does not exclude additional administrations of either agent at any time, although it may be desirable to minimise the number of treatments administered, for ease of compliance for patients and to reduce costs. Rather, the relative timing of the administrations will be selected to optimise their combined effect, the first therapeutic agent creating an immunological environment (e.g., elevated ICOS+ Tregs, or antigen release as discussed below) in which the effect of the anti-ICOS antibody is especially advantageous. Thus, sequential administration of the first therapeutic agent and then the anti-ICOS antibody may allow time for the first agent to act, creating in vivo conditions in which the anti-ICOS antibody can exhibit its enhanced effect. Various administration regimens, including simultaneous or sequential combination treatments, are described herein and can be utilised as appropriate. Where the first therapeutic agent is one that increases the number of ICOS+ Tregs in the patient, the treatment regimen for the patient may comprise determining that the patient has an increased number of ICOS+ Tregs, and then administering the anti-ICOS antibody.


As noted, use of anti-ICOS antibodies in combination therapy may provide advantages of reducing the effective dose of the therapeutic agents and/or countering adverse effects of therapeutic agents that increase ICOS+ Tregs in patients. Yet further therapeutic benefits may be achieved through selecting a first therapeutic agent that causes release of antigens from target cells through “immunological cell death”, and administering the first therapeutic agent in combination with an anti-ICOS antibody. As noted, administration of the anti-ICOS antibody may sequentially follow administration of the first therapeutic agent, administration of the two agents being separated by a certain time window as discussed above.


Immunological cell death is a recognised mode of cell death, contrasting with apoptosis. It is characterised by release of ATP and HMGB1 from the cell and exposure of calreticulin on the plasma membrane [33, 34].


Immunological cell death in a target tissue or in target cells promotes engulfment of the cell by an antigen-presenting cell, resulting in display of antigens from the target cell, which in turn induces antigen-specific Teff cells. Anti-ICOS antibody may increase the magnitude and/or duration of the Teff response by acting as an agonist of ICOS on the Teff cells. In addition, where the anti-ICOS antibody is Fc effector function enabled (e.g., a human IgG1 antibody), the anti-ICOS antibody may cause depletion of antigen-specific Tregs. Thus, through a combination of either or both of these effects, the balance between Teff and Treg cells is modulated in favour of enhancing Teff activity. Combination of an anti-ICOS antibody with a treatment that induces immunological cell death in a target tissue or cell type, such as in a tumour or in cancer cells, thereby promotes an immune response in the patient against the target tissue or cells, representing a form of vaccination in which the vaccine antigen is generated in vivo.


Accordingly, one aspect of the invention is a method of treating cancer in a patient by in vivo vaccination of the patient against their cancer cells. Another aspect of the invention is an anti-ICOS antibody for use in such a method. Anti-ICOS antibodies may be used in a method comprising:

    • treating the patient with a therapy that causes immunological cell death of the cancer cells, resulting in presentation of antigen to antigen-specific effector T cells, and
    • administering an anti-ICOS antibody to the patient, wherein the anti-ICOS antibody enhances the antigen-specific effector T cell response against the cancer cells.


Treatments that induce immunological cell death include radiation (e.g., ionising irradiation of cells using UVC light or γ rays), chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., oxaliplatin, anthracyclines such as doxorubicin, idarubicin or mitoxantrone, BK channel agonists such as phloretin or pimaric acid, bortezomib, cardiac glycosides, cyclophosphamide, GADD34/PP1 inhibitors with mitomycin, PDT with hypericin, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, 5-fluorouracil, gemcitabine, gefitnib, erlotinib, or thapsigargin with cisplatin) and antibodies to tumour-associated antigens. The tumour-associated antigen can be any antigen that is over-expressed by tumour cells relative to non-tumour cells of the same tissue, e.g., HER2, CD20, EGFR. Suitable antibodies include herceptin (anti-HER2), rituximab (anti-CD20), or cetuximab (anti-EGFR).


Thus, it is advantageous to combine an anti-ICOS antibody with one or more such treatments. Optionally, the anti-ICOS antibody is adminstered to a patient who has already received such treatment. The anti-ICOS antibody may be administered after a period of, for example, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 1 week or 2 weeks following the treatment that induces immunological cell death, e.g., between 24 to 72 hours after the treatment. The anti-ICOS antibody may be administered within 2, 3, 4 or 5 weeks after the treatment. Other regimens for combination therapy are discussed elsewhere herein.


While “in vivo vaccination” has been described above, it is also possible to treat tumour cells to induce immunological cell death ex vivo, after which the cells may be reintroduced to the patient. Rather than administering the agent or treatment that induces immunological cell death directly to the patient, the treated tumour cells are administered to the patient. Treatment of the patient may be in accordance with administration regimens described above.


As already noted, a single dose of an anti-ICOS antibody may be sufficient to provide therapeutic benefit. Thus, in the methods of treatment described herein, the anti-ICOS antibody is optionally administered as a single dose. A single dose of anti-ICOS antibody may deplete Tregs in a patient, with consequent beneficial effects in diseases such as cancer. It has previously been reported that transient ablation of Tregs has anti-tumour effects, including reducing tumour progression, treating established tumours and metastases and extending survival, and that it can enhance the therapeutic effect of tumour irradiation [35]. Administration of a single dose of anti-ICOS may provide such Treg depletion, and may be used to enhance the effects of other therapeutic approaches used in combination, such as radiotherapy.

Antibody-Drug Conjugates

Anti-ICOS antibodies can be used as carriers of cytotoxic agents, to target Tregs. As reported in Example 18, Tregs located in the tumour microenvironment (TME) strongly express ICOS. ICOS is more strongly expressed on intratumoural Tregs than on intratumoural Teffs or peripheral Tregs. Thus, anti-ICOS antibodies labelled with a toxic drug or pro-drug may preferentially target Tregs in the TME to deliver the toxic payload, selectively inhibiting those cells. Such targeting of cytotoxic agents provides an additional route to removing the immune suppressive effect of Tregs, thereby altering the Treg:Teff balance in favour of Teff activity and may be used as an alternative to, or in combination with, any one or more of the other therapeutic approaches discussed herein (e.g., Fc effector-mediated inhibition of Tregs, agonism of effector T cells).


Accordingly, the invention provides an anti-ICOS antibody that is conjugated to a cytotoxic drug or pro-drug. In the case of a pro-drug, the pro-drug is activatable in the TME or other target site of therapeutic activity to generate the cytotoxic agent. Activation may be in response to a trigger such as photoactivation, e.g., using near-infrared light to activate a photoabsorber conjugate [36]. Spatially-selective activation of a pro-drug further enhances the cytotoxic effect of the antibody-drug conjugate, combining with the high ICOS expression on intratumoural Tregs to provide a cytotoxic effect that is highly selective for these cells.


For use in an antibody-drug conjugate, the cytotoxic drug or pro-drug is preferably non-immunogenic and non-toxic (dormant or inactive) during circulation of the antibody-drug conjugate in the blood. Preferably the cytotoxic drug (or the pro-drug, when activated) is potent—e.g., two to four molecules of the drug may be sufficient to kill the target cell. A photoactivatable pro-drug is silicapthalocyanine dye (IRDye 700 DX), which induces lethal damage to the cell membrane after near-infrared light exposure. Cytotoxic drugs include anti-mitotic agents such as monomethyl auristatin E and microtubule inhibitors such as maytansine derivatives, e.g., mertansine, DM1, emtansine.


Conjugation of the drug (or pro-drug) to the antibody will usually be via a linker. The linker may be a cleavable linker, e.g., disulphide, hydrazone or peptide link. Cathepsin-cleavable linkers may be used, so that the drug is released by cathepsin in tumour cells. Alternatively, non-cleavable linkers can be used, e.g., thioether linkage. Additional attachment groups and/or spacers may also be included.


The antibody in the antibody-drug conjugate may be an antibody fragment, such as Fab′2 or other antigen-binding fragment as described herein, as the small size of such fragments may assist penetration to the tissue site (e.g., solid tumour).


An anti-ICOS antibody according to the present invention may be provided as an immunocytokine. Anti-ICOS antibodies may also be administered with immunocytokines in combination therapy. A number of examples of antibodies are described herein for use in combination therapy with anti-ICOS, and any of these (e.g., an anti-PD-L1 antibody) may be provided as immunocytokines for use in the present invention. An immunocytokine comprises an antibody molecule conjugated to a cytokine, such as IL-2. Anti-ICOS:IL-2 conjugates and anti-PD-L1:1 L-2 conjugates are thus further aspects of the present invention.


An IL-2 cytokine may have activity at the high (any) affinity IL-2 receptor and/or the intermediate affinity (αβ) IL-2 receptor. IL-2 as used in an immunocytokine may be human wild type IL-2 or a variant IL-2 cytokine having one or more amino acid deletions, substitutions or additions, e.g., IL-2 having a 1 to 10 amino acid deletion at the N-terminus. Other IL-2 variants include mutations R38A or R38Q.


An example anti-PD-L1 immunocytokine comprises an immunoglobulin heavy chain and an immunoglobulin light chain, wherein the heavy chain comprises in N- to C-terminal direction:

    • a) A VH domain comprising CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3; and
    • b) A heavy chain constant region;


and wherein the light chain comprises in N- to C-terminal direction:

    • c) A VL domain comprising CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3;
    • d) A light chain constant region, (CL);
    • e) Optionally, a linker, (L); and
    • f) An IL-2 cytokine;


wherein the VH domain and VL domain are comprised by an antigen-binding site that specifically binds to human PD-L1; and


wherein the immunocytokine comprises a VH domain which comprises a CDRH3 comprising the motif X1GSGX2YGX3X4FD (SEQ ID NO: 609), wherein X1, X2 and X3 are independently any amino acid, and X4 is either present or absent, and if present, may be any amino acid.


The VH and VL domain may be the VH and VL domain of any anti-PD-L1 antibody mentioned herein, e.g., the 1D05 VH and VL domains.


The IL-2 may be human wild type or variant IL-2.


Vaccination

Anti-ICOS antibodies may be provided in vaccine compositions or co-administered with vaccines preparations. ICOS is involved in T follicular helper cell formation and the germinal centre reaction [37]. Agonist ICOS antibodies thus have potential clinical utility as molecular adjuvants to enhance vaccine efficacy. The antibodies may be used to increase protective efficacy of numerous vaccines, such as those against hepatitis B, malaria, HIV.


In the context of vaccination, the anti-ICOS antibody will generally be one that lacks Fc effector function, and thus does not mediate ADCC, CDC or ADCP. The antibody may be provided in a format lacking an Fc region, or having an effector null constant region. Optionally, an anti-ICOS antibody may have a heavy chain constant region that binds one or more types of Fc receptor but does not induce ADCC, CDC or ADCP activity, or that exhibits lower ADCC, CDC and ADCP activity compared with wild type human IgG1. Such a constant region may be unable to bind, or may bind with lower affinity, the particular Fc receptor(s) responsible for triggering ADCC, CDC or ADCP activity. Alternatively, where cellular effector functions are acceptable or desirable in the context of the vaccination, the anti-ICOS antibody may comprise a heavy chain constant region that is Fc effector function positive. Any of IgG1, IgG4 and IgG4.PE formats may for instance be used for anti-ICOS antibodies in vaccination regimens, and other examples of suitable isotypes and antibody constant regions are set out in more detail elsewhere herein.


Formulations and Administration

Antibodies may be monoclonal or polyclonal, but are preferably provided as monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use. They may be provided as part of a mixture of other antibodies, optionally including antibodies of different binding specificity.


Antibodies according to the invention, and encoding nucleic acid, will usually be provided in isolated form. Thus, the antibodies, VH and/or VL domains, and nucleic acids may be provided purified from their natural environment or their production environment. Isolated antibodies and isolated nucleic acid will be free or substantially free of material with which they are naturally associated, such as other polypeptides or nucleic acids with which they are found in vivo, or the environment in which they are prepared (e.g., cell culture) when such preparation is by recombinant DNA technology in vitro. Optionally an isolated antibody or nucleic acid (1) is free of at least some other proteins with which it would normally be found, (2) is essentially free of other proteins from the same source, e.g., from the same species, (3) is expressed by a cell from a different species, (4) has been separated from at least about 50 percent of polynucleotides, lipids, carbohydrates, or other materials with which it is associated in nature, (5) is operably associated (by covalent or noncovalent interaction) with a polypeptide with which it is not associated in nature, or (6) does not occur in nature.


Antibodies or nucleic acids may be formulated with diluents or adjuvants and still for practical purposes be isolated—for example they may be mixed with carriers if used to coat microtitre plates for use in immunoassays, and may be mixed with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or diluents when used in therapy. As described elsewhere herein, other active ingredients may also be included in therapeutic preparations. Antibodies may be glycosylated, either naturally in vivo or by systems of heterologous eukaryotic cells such as CHO cells, or they may be (for example if produced by expression in a prokaryotic cell) unglycosylated. The invention encompasses antibodies having a modified glycosylation pattern. In some applications, modification to remove undesirable glycosylation sites may be useful, or e.g., removal of a fucose moiety to increase ADCC function [38]. In other applications, modification of galactosylation can be made in order to modify CDC.


Typically, an isolated product constitutes at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 25%, or at least about 50% of a given sample. An antibody may be substantially free from proteins or polypeptides or other contaminants that are found in its natural or production environment that would interfere with its therapeutic, diagnostic, prophylactic, research or other use.


An antibody may have been identified, separated and/or recovered from a component of its production environment (eg, naturally or recombinantly). The isolated antibody may be free of association with all other components from its production environment, eg, so that the antibody has been isolated to an FDA-approvable or approved standard. Contaminant components of its production environment, such as that resulting from recombinant transfected cells, are materials that would typically interfere with research, diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. In some embodiments, the antibody will be purified: (1) to greater than 95% by weight of antibody as determined by, for example, the Lowry method, and in some embodiments, to greater than 99% by weight; (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing or reducing conditions using Coomassie blue or silver stain. Isolated antibody includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, an isolated antibody or its encoding nucleic acid will be prepared by at least one purification step.


The invention provides therapeutic compositions comprising the antibodies described herein. Therapeutic compositions comprising nucleic acid encoding such antibodies are also provided. Encoding nucleic acids are described in more detail elsewhere herein and include DNA and RNA, e.g., mRNA. In therapeutic methods described herein, use of nucleic acid encoding the antibody, and/or of cells containing such nucleic acid, may be used as alternatives (or in addition) to compositions comprising the antibody itself. Cells containing nucleic acid encoding the antibody, optionally wherein the nucleic acid is stably integrated into the genome, thus represent medicaments for therapeutic use in a patient. Nucleic acid encoding the anti-ICOS antibody may be introduced into human B lymphocytes, optionally B lymphocytes derived from the intended patient and modified ex vivo. Optionally, memory B cells are used. Administration of cells containing the encoding nucleic acid to the patient provides a reservoir of cells capable of expressing the anti-ICOS antibody, which may provide therapeutic benefit over a longer term compared with administration of isolated nucleic acid or isolated antibody.


Compositions may contain suitable carriers, excipients, and other agents that are incorporated into formulations to provide improved transfer, delivery, tolerance, and the like. A multitude of appropriate formulations can be found in the formulary known to all pharmaceutical chemists: Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. These formulations include, for example, powders, pastes, ointments, jellies, waxes, oils, lipids, lipid (cationic or anionic) containing vesicles (such as LIPOFECTINT™), DNA conjugates, anhydrous absorption pastes, oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, emulsions carbowax (polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights), semi-solid gels, and semi-solid mixtures containing carbowax. See also Powell et al. “Compendium of excipients for parenteral formulations” PDA (1998) J Pharm Sci Technol 52:238-311. Compositions may comprise the antibody or nucleic acid in combination with medical injection buffer and/or with adjuvant.


Antibodies, or their encoding nucleic acids, may be formulated for the desired route of administration to a patient, e.g., in liquid (optionally aqueous solution) for injection. Various delivery systems are known and can be used to administer the pharmaceutical composition of the invention. Methods of introduction include, but are not limited to, intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, and oral routes. Formulating antibodies for subcutaneous administration typically requires concentrating them into a smaller volume compared with intravenous preparations. The high potency of antibodies according to the present invention may lend them to use at sufficiently low doses to make subcutaneous formulation practical, representing an advantage compared with less potent anti-ICOS antibodies.


The composition may be administered by any convenient route, for example by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e.g., oral mucosa, rectal and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and may be administered together with other biologically active agents. Administration can be systemic or local.


The pharmaceutical composition can be also delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer (1990) Science 249:1527-1533; Treat et al. (1989) in Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, Lopez Berestein and Fidler (eds.), Liss, New York, pp. 353-365; Lopez-Berestein, ibid., pp. 317-327; see generally ibid.).


In certain situations, the pharmaceutical composition can be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see Langer, supra; Sefton (1987) CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14:201). In another embodiment, polymeric materials can be used; see, Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres., Boca Raton, Fla. (1974). In yet another embodiment, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the composition's target, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose (see, e.g., Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, supra, vol. 2, pp. 115-138, 1984).


The injectable preparations may include dosage forms for intravenous, subcutaneous, intracutaneous and intramuscular injections, drip infusions, etc. These injectable preparations may be prepared by methods publicly known. For example, the injectable preparations may be prepared, e.g., by dissolving, suspending or emulsifying the antibody or its salt described above in a sterile aqueous medium or an oily medium conventionally used for injections. As the aqueous medium for injections, there are, for example, physiological saline, an isotonic solution containing glucose and other auxiliary agents, etc., which may be used in combination with an appropriate solubilizing agent such as an alcohol (e.g., ethanol), a polyalcohol (e.g., propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol), a nonionic surfactant [e.g., polysorbate 80, HCO-50 (polyoxyethylene (50 mol) adduct of hydrogenated castor oil)], etc. As the oily medium, there are employed, e.g., sesame oil, soybean oil, etc., which may be used in combination with a solubilizing agent such as benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol, etc. The injection thus prepared can be filled in an appropriate ampoule. A pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be delivered subcutaneously or intravenously with a standard needle and syringe. It is envisaged that treatment will not be restricted to use in the clinic. Therefore, subcutaneous injection using a needle-free device is also advantageous. With respect to subcutaneous delivery, a pen delivery device readily has applications in delivering a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. Such a pen delivery device can be reusable or disposable. A reusable pen delivery device generally utilizes a replaceable cartridge that contains a pharmaceutical composition. Once all of the pharmaceutical composition within the cartridge has been administered and the cartridge is empty, the empty cartridge can readily be discarded and replaced with a new cartridge that contains the pharmaceutical composition. The pen delivery device can then be reused. In a disposable pen delivery device, there is no replaceable cartridge. Rather, the disposable pen delivery device comes prefilled with the pharmaceutical composition held in a reservoir within the device. Once the reservoir is emptied of the pharmaceutical composition, the entire device is discarded. Numerous reusable pen and autoinjector delivery devices have applications in the subcutaneous delivery of a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. Examples include, but certainly are not limited to AUTOPEN™ (Owen Mumford, Inc., Woodstock, UK), DISETRONIC™ pen (Disetronic Medical Systems, Burghdorf, Switzerland), HUMALOG MIX 75/25™ pen, HUMALOG™ pen, HUMALIN 70/30™ pen (Eli Lilly and Co., Indianapolis, Ind.), NOVOPEN™ I, II and III (Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark), NOVOPEN JUNIOR™ (Novo Nordisk, Copenhagen, Denmark), BD™ pen (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, N.J.), OPTIPENT™, OPTIPEN PRO™, OPTIPEN STARLET™, and OPTICLIKT™ (Sanofi-Aventis, Frankfurt, Germany), to name only a few. Examples of disposable pen delivery devices having applications in subcutaneous delivery of a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention include, but certainly are not limited to the SOLOSTAR™ pen (Sanofi-Aventis), the FLEXPEN™ (Novo Nordisk), and the KWIKPEN™ (Eli Lilly).


Advantageously, the pharmaceutical compositions for oral or parenteral use described above are prepared into dosage forms in a unit dose suited to fit a dose of the active ingredients. Such dosage forms in a unit dose include, for example, tablets, pills, capsules, injections (ampoules), suppositories, etc. The amount of the aforesaid antibody contained is generally about 5 to about 500 mg per dosage form in a unit dose; especially in the form of injection, the aforesaid antibody may be contained in about 5 to about 100 mg and in about 10 to about 250 mg for the other dosage forms.


The antibody, nucleic acid, or composition comprising it, may be contained in a medical container such as a phial, syringe, IV container or an injection device. In an example, the antibody, nucleic acid or composition is in vitro, and may be in a sterile container. In an example, a kit is provided comprising the antibody, packaging and instructions for use in a therapeutic method as described herein.


One aspect of the invention is a composition comprising an antibody or nucleic acid of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, examples of which are listed above. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to approved or approvable by a regulatory agency of the USA Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, including humans. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or adjuvant can be administered to a patient, together with an agent, e.g., any antibody or antibody chain described herein, and does not destroy the pharmacological activity thereof and is nontoxic when administered in doses sufficient to deliver a therapeutic amount of the agent.


In some embodiments, an anti-ICOS antibody will be the sole active ingredient in a composition according to the present invention. Thus, a composition may consist of the antibody or it may consist of the antibody with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. However, compositions according to the present invention optionally include one or more additional active ingredients. Detailed description of agents with which the anti-ICOS antibodies may be combined is provided elsewhere herein. Optionally, compositions contain multiple antibodies (or encoding nucleic acids) in a combined preparation, e.g., a single formulation comprising the anti-ICOS antibody and one or more other antibodies. Other therapeutic agents that it may be desirable to administer with antibodies or nucleic acids according to the present invention include analgaesic agents. Any such agent or combination of agents may be administered in combination with, or provided in compositions with antibodies or nucleic acids according to the present invention, whether as a combined or separate preparation. The antibody or nucleic acid according to the present invention may be administered separately and sequentially, or concurrently and optionally as a combined preparation, with another therapeutic agent or agents such as those mentioned.


Anti-ICOS antibodies for use in a particular therapeutic indication may be combined with the accepted standard of care. Thus, for anti-cancer treatment, the antibody therapy may be employed in a treatment regimen that also includes chemotherapy, surgery and/or radiation therapy for example. Radiotherapy may be single dose or in fractionated doses, either delivered to affected tissues directly or to the whole body.


Multiple compositions can be administered separately or simultaneously. Separate administration refers to the two compositions being administered at different times, e.g. at least 10, 20, 30, or 10-60 minutes apart, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 hours apart. One can also administer compositions at 24 hours apart, or even longer apart. Alternatively, two or more compositions can be administered simultaneously, e.g. less than 10 or less than 5 minutes apart. Compositions administered simultaneously can, in some aspects, be administered as a mixture, with or without similar or different time release mechanism for each of the components.


Antibodies, and their encoding nucleic acids, can be used as therapeutic agents. Patients herein are generally mammals, typically humans. An antibody or nucleic acid may be administered to a mammal, e.g., by any route of administration mentioned herein.


Administration is normally in a “therapeutically effective amount”, this being an amount that produces the desired effect for which it is administered, sufficient to show benefit to a patient. The exact amount will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, for example, Lloyd (1999) The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding). Prescription of treatment, e.g. decisions on dosage etc, is within the responsibility of general practitioners and other medical doctors and may depend on the severity of the symptoms and/or progression of a disease being treated. A therapeutically effective amount or suitable dose of antibody or nucleic acid can be determined by comparing its in vitro activity and in vivo activity in an animal model. Methods for extrapolation of effective dosages in mice and other test animals to humans are known.


As indicated by the in vivo studies described in the Examples herein, anti-ICOS antibody may be effective at a range of doses. Pharmacodynamic studies are reported in Example 24.


Anti-ICOS antibodies may be administered in an amount in one of the following ranges per dose:


about 10 μg/kg body weight to about 100 mg/kg body weight,


about 50 μg/kg body weight to about 5 mg/kg body weight,


about 100 μg/kg body weight to about 10 mg/kg body weight,


about 100 μg/kg body weight to about 20 mg/kg body weight,


about 0.5 mg/kg body weight to about 20 mg/kg body weight, or


about 5 mg/kg body weight or lower, for example less than 4, less than 3, less than 2, or less than 1 mg/kg of the antibody.


An optimal therapeutic dose may be between 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg in a human, for example about 0.1 mg/kg, 0.15 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg, 0.35 mg/kg, 0.4 mg/kg, 0.45 mg/kg or 0.5 mg/kg. For fixed dosing in adult humans, a suitable dose may be between 8 and 50 mg, or between 8 and 25 mg, e.g., 15 mg or 20 mg.


In methods of treatment described herein, one or more doses may be administered. In some cases, a single dose may be effective to achieve a long-term benefit. Thus, the method may comprise administering a single dose of the antibody, its encoding nucleic acid, or the composition. Alternatively, multiple doses may be administered, usually sequentially and separated by a period of days, weeks or months. Anti-ICOS antibody may be repeatedly administered to a patient at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, e.g., every 4 weeks, every 5 weeks, or every 6 weeks. Optionally, the anti-ICOS antibody may be administered to a patient once a month, or less frequently, e.g., every two months or every three months. Accordingly, a method of treating a patient may comprise administering a single dose of the anti-ICOS antibody to the patient, and not repeating the administration for at least one month, at least two months, at least three months, and optionally not repeating the administration for at least 12 months.


As discussed in Example 11c, comparable therapeutic effects may be obtained using either one or multiple doses of anti-ICOS antibody, which may be a result of a single dose of antibody being effective to reset the tumour microenvironment. Physicians can tailor the administration regimen of the anti-ICOS antibody to the disease and the patient undergoing therapy, taking into account the disease status and any other therapeutic agents or therapeutic measures (e.g., surgery, radiotherapy etc) with which the anti-ICOS antibody is being combined. In some embodiments, an effective dose of an anti-ICOS antibody is administered more frequently than once a month, such as, for example, once every three weeks, once every two weeks, or once every week. Treatment with anti-ICOS antibody may include multiple doses administered over a period of at least a month, at least six months, or at least a year.


As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treatment,” “treating,” or “amelioration” refer to therapeutic treatments, wherein the object is to reverse, alleviate, ameliorate, inhibit, slow down or stop the progression or severity of a condition associated with a disease or disorder. The term “treating” includes reducing or alleviating at least one adverse effect or symptom of a condition, disease or disorder. Treatment is generally “effective” if one or more symptoms or clinical markers are reduced. Alternatively, treatment is “effective” if the progression of a disease is reduced or halted. That is, “treatment” includes not just the improvement of symptoms or markers, but also a cessation of, or at least slowing of, progress or worsening of symptoms compared to what would be expected in the absence of treatment. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of one or more symptom(s), diminishment of extent of disease, stabilised (i.e., not worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, remission (whether partial or total), and/or decreased mortality, whether detectable or undetectable. The term “treatment” of a disease also includes providing relief from the symptoms or side-effects of the disease (including palliative treatment). For treatment to be effective a complete cure is not contemplated. The method can in certain aspects include cure as well. In the context of the invention, treatment may be preventative treatment.


T Cell Therapy

WO2011/097477 described use of anti-ICOS antibodies for generating and expanding T cells, by contacting a population of T cells with a first agent that provides a primary activation signal (e.g., an anti-CD3 antibody) and a second agent that activates ICOS (e.g., an anti-ICOS antibody), optionally in the presence of a Th17 polarising agent such as IL-1β, IL-6, neutralising anti-IFNγ and/or anti-IL-4. Anti-ICOS antibodies described herein may be used in such methods to provide T cell populations. Populations of cultured expanded T cells having therapeutic activity (e.g., anti-tumour activity) may be generated. As described in WO2011/097477, such T cells may be used therapeutically in methods of treating patients by immunotherapy.


Morphological Assay for Anti-ICOS Antibodies as Therapeutic Candidates

It was observed that when candidate therapeutic anti-ICOS antibodies were coupled to a solid surface and brought into contact with ICOS-expressing T cells, they were able to induce morphological change in the cells. On addition of ICOS+ T cells to wells that were internally coated with anti-ICOS antibodies, cells were seen to change from their initial rounded shape, adopting a spindle-shape, spreading and adhering to the antibody-coated surface. This morphological change was not observed with control antibody. Moreover, the effect was found to be dose-dependent, with faster and/or more pronounced shape change occurring as the concentration of antibody on the surface increased. The shape change provides a surrogate indicator of T cell binding to ICOS, and/or of agonism by anti-ICOS antibody. The assay may be used to identify an antibody that promotes multimerisation of ICOS on the T cell surface. Such antibodies represent therapeutic candidate agonist antibodies. Conveniently, the visual indicator provided by this assay is a simple method of screening antibodies or cells, particularly in large numbers. The assay may be automated to run in a high-throughput system.


Accordingly, one aspect of the invention is an assay for selecting an antibody that binds ICOS, optionally for selecting an ICOS agonist antibody, the assay comprising:


providing an array of antibodies immobilised (attached or adhered) to a substrate in a test well;


adding ICOS-expressing cells (e.g., activated primary T cells, or MJ cells) to the test well;


observing morphology of the cells;


detecting shape change in the cells from rounded to flattened against the substrate within the well; wherein the shape change indicates that the antibody is an antibody that binds ICOS, optionally an ICOS agonist antibody, and


selecting the antibody from the test well.


The assay may be run with multiple test wells, each containing a different antibody for testing, optionally in parallel, e.g., in a 96 well plate format. The substrate is preferably an inner surface of the well. Thus, a two-dimensional surface is provided against which flattening of the cells may be observed. For example, the bottom and/or wall of a well may be coated with antibody. Tethering of antibody to the substrate may be via a constant region of the antibody.


A negative control may be included, such an antibody known not to bind ICOS, preferably an antibody that does not bind an antigen on the surface of the ICOS-expressing cells to be used. The assay may comprise quantifying the degree of morphological change and, where multiple antibodies are tested, selecting an antibody that induces greater morphological change than one or more other test antibodies.


Selection of antibody may comprise expressing nucleic acid encoding the antibody present in the test well of interest, or expressing an antibody comprising the CDRs or antigen binding domain of that antibody. The antibody may optionally be reformatted, for example to provide an antibody comprising the antigen binding domain of the selected antibody, e.g., an antibody fragment, or an antibody comprising a different constant region. A selected antibody is preferably provided with a human IgG1 constant region or other constant region as described herein. A selected antibody may further be formulated in a composition comprising one or more additional ingredients—suitable pharmaceutical formations are discussed elsewhere herein.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLES

The following Examples describe the generation, characterisation and performance of anti-ICOS antibodies. Antibodies were generated using the Kymouse™, a transgenic mouse platform capable of generating antibodies with human variable domains. Antibodies from the Kymouse™ have human variable domains, generated from human V (D) and J segments, and mouse constant domains. The endogenous mouse variable genes have been silenced and make up a very small portion of the repertoire (less than 0.5% of all heavy chain variable regions are of mouse origin). The Kymouse™ system is described in Lee et al 2014 [39], WO2011/004192, WO2011/158009 and WO2013/061098. This project employed the Kymouse™ HK strain, in which the heavy chain locus and light chain kappa locus are humanised.


ICOS knock-out Kymouse™ were immunised with either ICOS protein or a combination of alternating boosts of protein and cells expressing human and mouse ICOS.


Hits which bound to human ICOS were identified. The primary selection criteria for the screen was binding to human cell expressed ICOS (CHO cells) and binding to ICOS protein (HTRF). Binding to mouse ICOS protein and mouse cell expressed ICOS (CHO cells) was also assessed and taken into consideration when selecting primary screen hits. Using these criteria hits were progressed to a secondary screen. In the secondary screen hits were confirmed by determining binding to human and mouse ICOS expressed on CHO cells by flow cytometry.


From a large number of antibodies screened, a small panel were identified which bind to human/cynomolgus and mouse ICOS as determined by surface plasmon resonance and flow cytometry. These antibodies included STIM001, STIM002 and its variant STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004 and STIM005. An additional four antibodies STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009 were also selected, showing less cross-reactivity with mouse ICOS but demonstrating agonism of the human ICOS receptor. The data presented here indicate the ability of anti-ICOS antibodies to act as agonists of the ICOS receptor in an ICOS positive CD4+ cell line and also in a primary T cell-based assay, show cell-killing ability in an ADCC assay and an ability to promote an anti-tumour immune response in vivo.


Example 1: Generation of ICOS Knock-Out Mouse

An ICOS knock-out Kymouse™ line was generated by homologous recombination in Kymouse™ HK ES cells. In brief, a 3.5 kb targeting vector encoding a puromycin selection was targeted into ES cells. Successful targeting resulted in the replacement of a small region (72 bp) of the mouse ICOS locus with the puromycin cassette, disrupting the signal peptide/start codon of the gene. Positive ES clones were expanded and microinjected into mouse blastocysts and resulting chimaeras bred in order to ultimately generate animals homozygous for both the humanised heavy and kappa immunoglobulin loci and the modified, functionally-null, ICOS locus.


Example 2: Antigen and Cell-Line Preparation
Generation of Stably Transfected MEF and CHO-S Cells Expressing Human or Mouse ICOS

Full length DNA sequences encoding human and mouse ICOS were codon optimised for mammalian expression, ordered as synthetic string DNA and cloned into an expression vector under the control of the CMV promoter and flanked by 3′ and 5′ piggyBac specific terminal repeat sequences facilitating stable integration into the cell genome (see [40]). The expression vector contained a puromycin selection cassette to facilitate stable cell line generation. For generation of human ICOS expressing and mouse ICOS expressing cell lines respectively, the human or mouse ICOS expression plasmid was co-transfected with a plasmid encoding piggyBac transposase into a mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell line and CHO-S cells using the FreeStyle Max transfection reagent (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer instructions. MEF cells were generated from embryos obtained from a 129S5 crossed to C57BL6 female mouse. Twenty four hours after transfection, the media was supplemented with puromycin and grown for at least two weeks to select stable cell lines. Cell culture medium was replaced every 3-4 days. Expression of human or mouse ICOS protein was assessed by flow cytometry using anti-human or anti-mouse ICOS-PE conjugated antibodies (eBioscience) respectively. Complete MEF media was made up of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum (Gibco). Complete CHO-S media was made up of CD-CHO media supplemented with 8 mM Glutamax (Gibco). CHO-S cells are the CHO-3E7 cell line included with the pTT5 system available from the National Research Council of Canada, but other CHO cell lines could be employed.


Preparation of MEF Cells for Mouse Immunisations

Cell culture medium was removed and cells washed once with 1×PBS. Cells were treated for 5 minutes with trypsin to loosen cells from tissue culture surface. Cells were collected and the trypsin neutralized by the addition of complete media containing 10% v/v fetal bovine serum (FCS). Cells were then centrifuged at 300 g for 10 minutes and washed with 25 ml of 1×PBS. Cells were counted and resuspended at the appropriate concentration in 1×PBS.


Cloning and Expression of Recombinant Proteins

Synthetic DNA encoding the extracellular domains of human ICOS (NCBI ID: NP_036224.1), mouse ICOS (NCBI ID: NP_059508.2) and cynomolgus ICOS (GenBank ID: EHH55098.1) were cloned into either a pREP4 (Invitrogen) or a pTT5 (National Research Council Of Canada) expression plasmid using standard molecular biology techniques. The constructs also contained either a human Fc, a mouse Fc or a FLAG His peptide motif to aid purification and detection. These were added to the DNA constructs by overlap extension. All constructs were sequenced prior to expression to ensure their correct sequence composition.


Example 3: Immunisation

ICOS knock out HK Kymice™ (see Example 1), Kymouse™ wild type HK strain and Kymouse™ wild type HL strain were immunised according to the regimens shown in Table E3. Kymouse™ wild type HK and HL strains express wild type mouse ICOS. In the HK strain the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus and light chain kappa locus are humanised, and in the HL strain the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus and light chain lambda locus are humanised.

RIMMS is a modified sub-cutaneous immunisation procedure (rapid immunisation at multiple sites); modified after Kilpatrick et al. [41]). Immunisation regimens KM103 and KM111 were prime-rest-boost by intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration. Sigma Adjuvant System was used for all immunisations and rest intervals were usually between 2 and 3 weeks. Final boosts were administered by intravenously in absence of adjuvant.






Sera from serial or terminal blood samples were analysed for the presence of specific antibodies by flow cytometry and the titre data was used (where possible) to select mice to be used for B cell sorting.


Example 4: Comparison of Serum Titres Between ICOS KO and Wild Type Mice

Serum titres of immunised ICOS KO and immunised wild type Kymouse were determined using flow cytometry. In ICOS KO mice, immunisation with human ICOS antigen induced a serum immunoglobulin response with Ig binding to both human and mouse ICOS expressed on CHO cells (FIG. 1a). Conversely, in the wild type Kymouse (expressing mouse ICOS), immunisation with the same human ICOS antigen produced sera that showed markedly reduced binding to mouse ICOS compared with binding of the same serum to human ICOS (FIG. 1b).


Method

CHO-S cells expressing human ICOS or mouse ICOS (see Example 2) or untransfected CHO-S cells (referred to as wild type (WT)), suspended in FACS buffer (PBS+1% w/v BSA+0.1% w/v sodium azide) were distributed to a 96-well, V-bottom plate (Greiner) at a density of 105 cells per well. A titration of mouse serum was prepared, diluting samples in FACS buffer. 50 μL/well of this titration was then added to the cell plate. To determine the change in activity level due to immunisation, serum from each animal prior to immunisation was diluted to 1/100 in FACS buffer and 50 μL/well added to the cells. Cells were incubated at 4° C. for 1 hour. Cells were washed twice with 150 μL PBS, centrifuging after each wash step and aspirating supernatant (centrifuged at 300×g for 3 minutes). To detect antibody binding, APC goat-anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch) was diluted 1/500 in FACS buffer and 50 μL was added to the cells. In some instances AF647 goat-anti-mouse IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch) was used. Cells were incubated 1 hour at 4° C. in the dark, then washed twice with 150 μL PBS as above. To fix cells, 100 μL 2% v/v paraformaldehyde was added and cells incubated for 30 minutes at 4° C. Cells were then pelleted by centrifugation at 300×g and the plates resuspended in 50 μL of FACS buffer. Fluorescent signal intensity (geometric mean) was measured by flow cytometry using a BD FACS Array instrument.


Example 5: Sorting of Antigen-Specific B Cells by FACS

B-cells expressing anti-ICOS antibodies were recovered from immunised mice, using techniques substantially as described in Example 1 of WO2015/040401. In brief, splenocytes and/or lymph node cells isolated from the immunisation regimes were stained with an antibody cocktail containing markers for the selection of cells of interest (CD19), whereas unwanted cells were excluded from the final sorted population (IgM, IgD, 7AAD). CD19+B-cells were further labelled with fluorescently-tagged human ICOS ECD-Fc dimers and fluorescently-tagged mouse ICOS ECD-Fc to detect B-cells producing anti-ICOS antibodies. Fluorescent labelling of human and mouse ICOS was with AlexaFluor647 and AlexaFluor488, respectively—see Example 6. Cells binding human ICOS, or both human and mouse ICOS were selected. These cells were single cell sorted by FACS into lysis buffer. V-region sequences were recovered using RT-PCR and two further rounds of PCR, then bridged to mouse IgG1 constant region and expressed in HEK293 cells. Supernatants from HEK293 cells were screened for the presence of ICOS binding and functional antibodies. This method is hereafter referred to as BCT.


Example 6: Screening of Antibodies from BCT
HTRF Screening of BCT Supernatants for Binding to Recombinant Human and Mouse ICOS-Fc

Supernatants collected from BCT in Example 5 were screened for the ability of secreted antibodies to bind to human ICOS Fc and mouse ICOS Fc expressed as recombinant proteins. Binding of secreted antibodies to recombinant human and mouse ICOS were identified by HTRF® (Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence, Cisbio) assay format using FluoProbes®647H (Innova Biosciences) labelled ICOS (referred to herein as 647 hICOS or 647 mICOS for human ICOS and mouse ICOS labelled with FluoProbes®647H respectively). 5 μL BCT supernatant was transferred to a white 384-well, low-volume, non-binding surface polystyrene plate (Greiner). 5 μL of 20 nM 647 hICOS or 647 mICOS diluted in HTRF assay buffer was added to all wells. For human ICOS binding assay the reference antibody was diluted in BCT media (Gibco #A14351-01) to 120 nM and 5 μL added to plate. For negative control wells for human ICOS binding assay, 5 μL of mouse IgG1 (Sigma M9269 in some instances referred to as CM7) diluted to 120 nM in BCT media. In the case of mouse ICOS binding assay the reference antibody was diluted in BCT media (Gibco #A14351-01) to 120 nM and 5 μL added to plate. A rat IgG2b isotype control (R&D systems) was added to negative control wells (R&D Systems) diluted in BCT media to 120 nM and 5 μL added to plate. Binding of secreted antibodies to human ICOS was detected by addition of 10 μL of goat anti-mouse IgG (Southern Biotech) directly labelled with Europium cryptate (Cisbio) diluted 1/2000 in HTRF assay buffer. In the case of the mouse ICOS binding assay 5 μL of mouse anti-Rat IgG2B-UBLB (Southern Biotech) was added to positive and negative control wells, and 5 μL of HTRF assay buffer added to all other wells of plate. Then 5 μL of goat anti-mouse IgG (Southern Biotech) directly labelled with Europium cryptate (Cisbio) diluted 1/1000 in HTRF assay buffer was added to detect binding. The plate was left to incubate in the dark for 2 hours prior to reading time resolved fluorescence at 620 nm and 665 nm emission wavelengths, 100 flashes, using an EnVision plate reader (Perkin Elmer).


Data were analysed by calculating 665/620 ratio and percent effect for each sample according to equation 2 and equation 1 respectively.


For KM103 and KM11-B1, primary hits were selected based on greater than or equal to 5 percent effect for binding to human and mouse ICOS. For KM135 primary hits were selected based on greater than or equal to 10 percent effect for binding to human and mouse ICOS. For KM111-B2 primary hits were defined as greater than or equal to 4 percent effect for binding to human and greater than or equal to 3 percent effect for binding to mouse ICOS.

Screening of BCT Supernatants for Binding to Cell-Expressed Human and Mouse ICOS

Supernatants collected from BCT in Example 5 were screened for the ability of secreted antibodies to bind to human or mouse ICOS expressed on the surface of CHO-S cells. To determine CHO-S human and mouse ICOS binding, cells were plated in black-walled, clear-bottom tissue culture treated 384-well plates (Perkin Elmer) at 4×104/well in F12 media (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco) and cultured overnight. Culture media was removed from 384-well assay plates. At least 50 μL of BCT supernatant or 50 μL reference antibody at 2 μg/mL in BCT media or isotype IgG1 control antibody (referred to in some instances as Cm7, Sigma M9269), at a final concentration of 2 μg/mL) diluted in BCT media were added to each well. Plates were incubated for 1 hour at 4° C. Supernatant was aspirated and 50 μL of goat anti-Mouse 647 (Jackson immunoresearch) at 5 μg/ml with vibrant green DNA stain (Life Technologies) diluted 1 in 500 in secondary antibody buffer (1×PBS+1% BSA+0.1% Sodium Azide) was added to detect antibody binding and visualise cells. Plates were incubated for 1 hr at 4 degrees. Supernatant was aspirated and 25 μL of 4% v/v paraformaldehyde added and plates were incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Plates were washed twice with 100 μL PBS and then the wash buffer was completely removed. Fluorescence intensity was measured using Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer) measuring FITC (excitation 494 nm, emission 520 nm) and alexafluor 647 (excitation 650 nm, emission 668 nm). Assay signal was determined as described in equation 3 and percent effect as in equation 1. Total binding was defined using reference antibody at a final assay concentration of 2 μg/mL. Non-specific binding was defined using mouse IgG1 isotype control (Sigma) at a final assay concentration of 2 μg/mL. Criteria for hit selection were based on assay signal and percent effect.


For KM103, KM111-B1 and KM135, primary hits were selected based on greater than or equal to 10 percent effect. For KM111-B2, primary hits were selected based on greater than or equal to 4 percent effect.

FACS Screening for Binding to Cell Expressed Human and Mouse ICOS

BCT supernatants and HEK293 expressed antibodies from Example 5 were tested for ability to bind to CHO-S cells expressing human or mouse ICOS.


CHO-S cells expressing human or mouse ICOS (see Example 2), were diluted in FACS buffer (PBS 1% BSA 0.1% sodium azide) and were distributed to a 96-well, V-bottom plate (Greiner) at a density of 1×105 cells per well. Cells were washed with 150 μL PBS and centrifuged at 300 g for 3 minutes. For supernatant screening, supernatant was aspirated and 150 μL PBS added. This wash step was repeated. 30 μL BCT undiluted supernatant or 50 μL of reference antibody or control antibody diluted to 5 μg/ml in BCT media was added to the washed cells. Cells were incubated at 4° C. for 60 minutes. 150 μL FACS buffer was added and cells washed as described above. To detect antibody binding, 50 μL of goat anti-mouse APC (Jackson ImmunoResearch) diluted to 2 μg/ml in FACS buffer was added to cells. Cells were incubated 4° C. for 60 minutes. Cells were washed twice with 150 μL FACS buffer, centrifuging at 300 g for 3 minutes after each wash step and aspirating supernatant. Cells were fixed by addition of 25 μL 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed once as above and resuspended in FACS buffer for analysis. APC signal intensity (geometric mean) was measured by flow cytometry using a BD FACS Array instrument. Data were plotted as geometric mean values without further calculation.


A small sub-set of antibodies were selected as meeting more stringent species cross-reactivity criteria in this further screening compared with the primary screening. In brief:


From KM103, 4 antibodies were selected by taking the average geomean of the hybrid control binding to hICOS, mICOS and WT CHO cells and identifying mouse and human binders that were >4 fold above. These 4 antibodies were designated STIM001, STIM002-B, STIM007 and STIM009.


From KM111-81, 4 antibodies were selected by taking the average of geomean of the negative control (Armenian hamster: clone HTK888) binding to hICOS, mICOS and WT CHO cells and identifying mouse and human binders that were >10 fold above.


From KM111-82, 4 antibodies were selected by taking the average of geomean of the negative control (Armenian hamster: clone HTK888) binding to hICOS, mICOS and WT CHO cells and identifying mouse and human binders that were >4 fold above. These 4 antibodies included STIM003, STIM004 and STIM005.


From KM135, no cross-reactive antibodies were identified. Due to a technical failure of the FACS secondary screening method, screening was also carried out using SPR and HTRF, but no antibodies were found to meet the desired cross-reactivity level.


In conclusion, from the various multiple immunisation regimens described in Example 3, upward of 4000 BCT supernatants (from the ICOS KO mice only) were screened for binding to human ICOS and mouse ICOS, and a small panel of candidates, including STIM001, STIM002-B, STIM003, STIM004, STIM005, STIM007 and STIM009, were identified as having the most promising characteristics for further development. These were taken forward for more detailed characterisation.


Separately, two antibodies STIM006 and STIM008, which did not meet the species cross-reactivity criteria, were also chosen for further characterisation on the basis of their ability to bind human ICOS.


Example 7: Affinity Determination by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

Fab affinities of the ICOS leads were generated by SPR using the ProteOn XPR3 6 (BioRad). An anti-human IgG capture surface was created on a GLC biosensor chip by primary amine coupling, immobilising three anti-human IgG antibodies (Jackson Labs 109-005-008, 109-006-008 and 309-006-008). The human Fc tagged human ICOS (hICOS) and mouse ICOS (mICOS) were captured individually on the anti-human IgG surface and the purified Fabs were used as analytes at 5000 nM, 1000 nM, 200 nM, 40 nM and 8 nM, except for STIM003 which was used at 1000 nM, 200 nM, 40 nM, 8 nM and 2 nM. Binding sensorgrams were double referenced using a buffer injection (i.e. 0 nM), and the data was fitted to the 1:1 model inherent to the ProteOn XPR36 analysis software. The assay was run at 25° C. and using HBS-EP as running buffer.

In addition, a comparison was performed of antibody:antigen binding affinity at different pH values. As before, the dimeric human ICOS protein, presented as the extracellular domain of ICOS fused to a human Fc region, was captured on the anti-human Fc capture surface created using the 3 antibody cocktail, immobilised on the GLC biosensor chip by primary amine coupling. SPR analysis of recombinantly expressed anti-ICOS Fabs was carried out on the ProteOn XPR36 Array system (Biorad). The Fab fragments were used as analyte to generate binding sensorgrams, which were double referenced with a buffer injection (i.e., 0 nM). The subsequent referenced sensorgrams were fitted to the 1:1 model inherent to the ProteOn analysis software. Table E7-2 presents affinity and kinetic data for the antibodies, all run at 3TC unless stated, using either HBS-EP at pH 7.4/7.6 or pH 5.5 as indicated. Data were fitted to the 1:1 model. Note that data for STIM002 fitted poorly to the 1:1 model at both pH 7.4 and 5.5—the affinity for this antibody may therefore be lower than indicated in the table.

Comparison of the affinity data at different pH values indicated that the antibodies retain binding to their target across a physiological pH range. The tumour microenvironment may be relatively acidic compared with blood, thus maintenance of affinity at low pH is a potential advantage in vivo to improve intra-tumoural T-reg depletion.


Example 8: Neutralisation of ICOS Ligand Binding to ICOS Receptor Assayed by HTRF

Selected anti-ICOS antibodies were further assessed for their ability to neutralise ICOS ligand (B7-H2) binding to ICOS, using homogenous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF). Human IgG1 and human IgG4.PE (null-effector) isotypes of the mAbs were assessed in:

    • HTRF assay for neutralisation of human B7-H2 binding to human ICOS; and
    • HTRF assay for neutralisation of mouse B7-H2 binding to mouse ICOS.


      Anti-ICOS antibody C398.4A (hamster IgG in each case) was included for comparison.


A number of antibodies were found to have high neutralising potency for human and/or mouse ICOS receptor-ligand binding, and the results indicated that some of these antibodies showed good cross-reactivity. The antibody isotype had no significant effect, differences in results between the IgG1 and IgG4.PE assays being within experimental error.


IgG1

In the human IgG1 assays, antibody C398.4A produced an IC50 of 1.2±0.30 nM for the neutralisation of human ICOS ligand and an IC50 of 0.14±0.01 nM for the neutralisation of mouse ICOS ligand.


IgG1 mAbs STIM001, STIM002, STIM003 and STIM005 produced similar IC50 to C398.4A using the human ICOS ligand neutralisation system and were also cross-reactive, neutralising binding of mouse ICOS ligand to the mouse ICOS receptor.


Two additional cross-reactive mAbs, STIM002-B and STIM004, showed weaker human and mouse ICOS ligand neutralisation.


STIM006, STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009 showed neutralisation of human ICOS ligand but did not demonstrate significant cross-reactivity in the mouse ICOS ligand neutralisation system. Neutralising IC50 values for mouse B7-H2 ligand could not be calculated for these antibodies.

IgG4.PE

As expected, IgG4.PE mAbs produced similar results to the IgG1 isotypes.


STIM001, STIM003 and STIM005 showed similar IC50 values to C398.4A using the human ICOS ligand neutralisation system. These mAbs were also cross-reactive at neutralising mouse ICOS ligand. STIM002-B and STIM004 produced weaker IC50 values for human ICOS B7-H2 neutralisation and mouse B7-H2 ligand. STIM007, STIM008 and STIM009 showed neutralisation of human ICOS ligand binding to human ICOS receptor but neutralising IC50 values for mouse B7-H2 ligand could not be calculated in these assays.


IgG4.PE isotypes of STIM006 and STIM002 were not assayed.

Materials and Methods

Test antibodies and isotype controls were diluted in assay buffer (0.53 M Potassium Fluoride (KF), 0.1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) in 1×PBS) from a starting working concentration of up to 4 μM, 1 μM final to 0.002 nM, 5.64e-4 nM final over 11 point titration, 1 in 3 dilutions. Titrations of 5 μl of antibody were added to 384w white walled assay plate (Greiner Bio-One). Positive control wells received 5 μl of assay buffer only.


5 μl of ICOS receptor (human ICOS-mFc, 20 nM, 5 nM final or mouse ICOS-mFc 4 nM, 1 nM final (Chimerigen)) was added to required wells. Plate was incubated for 1 hr at room temperature (RT). After incubation, 5 μl of either mouse or human ICOS ligand, (B7-H2, R&D Systems) conjugated to Alexa 647 (Innova Bioscience) was diluted to either 32 nM (8 nM final) for human B7-H2 or 30 nM, 7.5 nM final for mouse B7-H2 and added to all wells of assay plate except negative control wells which instead received 5 μl of assay buffer.


Finally, 5 μl of anti-mouse IgG donor mAb (Southern Biotech) labelled with europium cryptate (Cis Bio), 40 nM, 10 nM final was added to each well and the assay was left in the dark at RT to incubate for a further 2 hours. After incubation, assay was read on Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer) using a standard HTRF protocol. 620 nm and 665 nm channel values were exported to Microsoft Excel (Microsoft) and % Delta-F and % Neutralisation calculations performed. Titration curves and IC50 values [M] were plotted using Graphpad (Prism). IC50 values were calculated by first transforming the data using equation X=Log(X). The transformed data was then fitted using nonlinear regression, using fitting algorithm, log (inhibitor) vs. response—variable slope (four parameters).

Example 9a: T-Cell Activation

STIM001 and STIM003 agonistic potential on cytokine production was tested in plate-bound and soluble format in a human primary T-cell activation assay where anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 Abs were added concurrently to the anti-ICOS Ab to induce ICOS expression on effector T-cells. Effect of the ICOS co-stimulation on the level of IFNγ produced by these activated T-cells were assessed using ELISA at 72 hrs post-activation.


Materials and Methods
T-Cell Activation Assay 1:

Isolation of Mononuclear Cells from Human Peripheral Blood (PBMC):


Leukocyte cones were collected from healthy donors and their content was diluted up to 50 ml with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, from Gibco) and layered into 2 centrifuge tubes on top of 15 mL Ficoll-Paque (from GE Healthcare). PBMC were separated by density gradient centrifugation (400 g for 40 min without brake), transferred to a clean centrifuge tube and then washed with 50 mL PBS, twice by centrifuging at 300 g for 5 min and twice by centrifuging at 200 g for 5 min. PBMC were then resuspended in R10 media (RPMI+10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum, both from Gibco) and their cell count and viability assess with EVE™ Automated Cell Counter (from NanoEnTek).


ICOS Antibodies (Abs) Preparation and Dilutions:

STIM001 and STIM003 were tested in 3 formats: plate-bound, soluble or soluble plus F(ab′)2 Fragments (109-006-170 from Jackson Immuno Research) which crosslink the anti-ICOS Abs.


For plate-bound format: the anti-ICOS Abs and their isotype control were serially diluted 1:3 in PBS to give final antibody concentrations ranging from 45 to 0.19 μg/mL. 100 μL of diluted antibodies were coated in duplicate into a 96-well, high-binding, flat-bottom plate (Corning EIA/RIA plate) overnight at 4° C. Plate was then washed with PBS and 125 μl of R10 were added to each well.


For soluble format: The anti-ICOS Abs and their isotype control were serially diluted 1:3 in R10 media to give an 2× Ab stock concentrations ranging from 90 to 0.38 μg/mL. 125 μl of diluted Abs were pipetted in duplicate into a 96-well, flat-bottom plate.


For crosslinked soluble format: The anti-ICOS Abs and their isotype control were mixed with F(ab′)2 Fragments at 1M to 1M ratio. Abs/F(ab′)2 Fragments mixes were then 1:3 serially diluted in R10 media to give an 2× Ab concentrations ranging from 90 to 0.38 μg/mL for ICOS and from 60 to 0.24 μg/ml for F(ab′)2 Fragments. 125 μl of diluted Abs were pipetted in duplicate into a 96-well, flat-bottom plate.


T-Cell Isolation, Cultures and IFN-γ Quantification:

T-cell were negatively isolated from PBMC using the EasySep Human T Cell Isolation Kit (from Stemcell Technologies) and resuspended at 2×106/mL in R10 media supplemented with 40 μl/ml of Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 (from Life Technologies).


125 μl of T-cell suspension were added to Ab-containing plates to give a final cell concentration of 1×106 cells/ml and cultured for 72 hrs at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Cell free supernatants were then collected and kept at −20° C. until analysis of secreted IFNγ by ELISA (duoset kit from R&D).


This experiment was repeated on T-cells isolated from 6 independent donors and 2 technical replicates were included for each assay condition.


T-Cell Activation Assay 2 (STIM-REST-STIM Assay):

STIM001 and STIM003 agonist potential on cytokine release were also tested plate-bound in a human T-cell assay where T-cells were prestimulated by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 Abs for 3-days to induce ICOS expression before being rested for 3-days to reduce their activation levels. ICOS expression was confirmed by FACS staining after stimulation (Day 3) and resting (Day 6). These stimulated rested T-cells were then cultured with STIM001 or STIM003 in presence or absence of CD3 Ab to assess the requirement of TCR engagement. Effects of the ICOS co-stimulation were assessed after 72 hrs on the levels of IFNγ, TNFα and IL-2 present in the culture.


ICOS Abs Dilutions and Coating:

Anti-human CD3 (clone UCHT1 from eBioscience) was diluted in PBS to a 2× Ab concentration of 10 μg/mL. 50 μl of PBS or 50 μl of diluted CD3 Ab were pipetted into a 96-well, high-binding, flat-bottom plate. STIM001, STIM003 and their isotype control were 1:2 serially diluted in PBS to give final 2× antibody concentrations ranging from 20 to 0.62 μg/mL. 50 μL of diluted anti-ICOS Ab were added to wells containing either PBS (no TCR engagement) or diluted CD3 Ab (TCR engagement). Plates were coated overnight at 4° C.


T-Cell Isolation, Cultures and IFN-γ Quantification:

PBMC from leukocyte cones were obtained as described in T-cell activation assay 1. T-cell were negatively isolated from this PBMC using the EasySep Human T Cell Isolation Kit (from Stemcell Technologies). T-cells were resuspended at 1×106/ml in R10 media supplemented with 20 μl/mL of Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 (from Life Technologies) and cultured for 3-days at 37° C. and 5% CO2 (Stimulation). At day 3 dynabeads were removed from the culture. T-cells were then washed (300 g for 5 min), counted and resuspended at 1.5×106/ml in R10 media and culture at 37° C. and 5% CO2 for 3-more days (Resting phase).


At day 6 stimulated rested T-cells were then washed (300 g for 5 min), counted and resuspended at 1×106/mL in R10 media and 250 μl of T-cell suspension were added to ICOS Ab-coated plates and cultured for 72 hrs at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Cell free supernatants were then collected and kept at −20° C. until analysis of secreted cytokines on the MSD platform. This experiment was repeated with T-cells isolated from 5 independent donors and 3 technical replicates were included for each assay condition.


Results

Both STIM001 and STIM003 tested positive for inducing IFNγ expression therefore demonstrating agonism in both assays.


Example 9b: T Cell Activation Assay 1 Data

T cell activation assay 1 was performed as described in Example 9a, using T cells isolated from 8 independent donors, testing each of STIM001 and STIM003 in human IgG1 format. Hamster anti-ICOS antibody C398.4A and a hamster antibody isotype control were included for comparison. 2 technical replicates were included for each assay condition.


Results are shown in FIG. 16, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18. As noted before, both STIM001 and STIM003 tested positive for inducing IFNγ expression therefore demonstrating an agonistic effect on human primary T cells.


Cross-linked antibodies acted as agonists of T cell activation, as indicated by the strong enhancement of IFNγ induction in the presence of the Fc-linking F(ab′)2 fragments, compared with either soluble antibody or with control. IFNγ expression in the T cells increased with increasing concentration of cross-linked STIM001 or STIM003 (FIG. 16, lower panels). Agonism was also observed for both STIM001 and STIM003 in plate-bound form and, more weakly, for the hamster antibody C398.4A, as indicated by the increase in IFNγ expression observed in the T cells with increasing concentration of antibody (FIG. 16, top panels).


Magnitude of the IFNγ response varied between T cells obtained from different donors, but STIM001 consistently produced an increase in IFNγ expression in T cells compared with IFNγ expression observed with control antibody (HC IgG1). When considering data from assays with T cells from all 8 donors, it is seen that treatment of T cells with STIM001 significantly increased IFNγ expression compared with treatment with isotype control antibody, in plate-bound form, soluble form and cross-linked form (FIG. 17). STIM001 thus behaved as an agonist of T cell activation in all three formats.


Similar effects were observed with STIM003 (FIG. 18). Levels of IFNγ induced by STIM003 hIgG1 were compared with levels of IFNγ induced by its isotype control (HC IgG1) at a given dose of antibody in the assay, for 8 independent donors. Despite the variability between donors, the mean increase in IFNγ level induced by STIM003 was significant when compared against HC IgG1. It is proposed that STIM001, and the other STIM antibodies described here, have the potential to similarly promote T cell activation in vivo. As discussed previously, agonism of activated ICOS-expressing T cells may be mediated by the anti-ICOS antibody binding to and inducing multimerisation of the ICOS receptor on the T cell surface. Example 9c: T cell activation assay 2 data


T cell activation assay 2 was performed as described in Example 9a.


In the absence of TCR engagement (no anti-CD3 antibody), levels of cytokines produced from the primary T cells were low and no increase was induced by STIM001 (hIgG1), STIM003 (hIgG1) or antibody C398.4A even at the highest concentration of 10 μg/ml. In contrast, when the anti-ICOS antibodies were added to T cells in combination with the anti-CD3 antibody, each of STIM001 (hIgG1), STIM003 (hIgG1) and C398.4A showed a dose-dependent trend to increase expression of IFNγ, TNFα and, to a lesser degree, IL-2.


Data from primary T cells treated with anti-ICOS antibodies under conditions of TCR engagement are shown in FIG. 19. Although marked increases in cytokine expression were observed for each of STIM001, STIM003 and C389.4A relative to their respective isotype controls, the difference did not reach statistical significance in this assay. Further replicates of the assay with responsive primary T cells from more donors would be expected to generate statistically significant results.


Example 10a: ADCC Assay

STIM001 and STIM003 potential to kill via ADCC was tested in the Delfia BATDA cytotoxicity assay (Perkin Elmer) using human primary NK cells as effector and ICOS high MJ cell line (ATCC, CRL-8294) as target cells. MJ cells are human CD4 T-lymphocyte cells that express high levels of ICOS protein.


This method is based on loading target cells with an acetoxymethyl ester of fluorescence enhancing ligand (BATDA) which quickly penetrates the cell membrane. Within the cell the ester bonds are hydrolysed to form a hydrophilic ligand (TDA) which no longer passes the membrane. After cytolysis the ligand is released and can be detected by addition of Europium which forms with the BATDA a highly fluorescent and stable chelate (EuTDA). The measured signal correlates directly with the amount of lysed cells.


Materials and Methods
Target Cell Labelling:

According to the manufacturer's instructions, MJ cells were resuspended at 1×106/mL in assay media (RPMI+10% ultra-low IgG FBS, from Gibco) and loaded with 5 μl/mL of Delfia BATDA reagent (Perkin Elmer) for 30 min at 37° C. MJ cells were then washed 3 times with 50 mL PBS (300 g for 5 min) and resuspended at 8×105/ml in assay media supplemented with 2 mM Probenecid (from Life technologies) to reduce BATDA spontaneous release from the cells.


ICOS Ab Dilution:

STIM001, STIM003 and their isotype control were 1:4 serially diluted in assay media +2 mM Probenecid to give final 4× antibody concentrations across a range down to 80 pg/mL.


NK-Cell Isolation and Culture:

PBMC from leukocyte cones were obtained as described in T-cell activation assay 1. NK-cell were negatively isolated from this PBMC using the EasySep Human NK Cell Isolation Kit (from Stemcell Technologies) and resuspended at 4×106/ml in R10 media +2 mM Probenecid. NK cell purity was checked to be above 90% by staining for CD3−/CD56+.


50 μl of diluted Ab, 50 μl of BATDA loaded MJ cells, 50 μl of NK cells and 50 μl of assay media +2 mM Probenecid (final volume of 200 μl/well) were added in each well to give a final Ab concentration across a range down to 20 pg/mL and an effector: target ratio of 5:1. Wells containing MJ cells only or MJ cells+delfia lysis buffer (Perkin Elmer) are used to determine spontaneous and 100% BATDA release.


The assay was run at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 2 hrs before transferring 50 μl of cell-free supernatant into a DELFIA Microtitration Plates (Perkin Elmer). 200 μl of Delfia Europium solution (Perkin Elmer) was added to the supernatants and incubated for 15 min at Room Temperature. Fluorescent signal was then quantified with EnVision Multilabel Reader (PerkinElmer).


Specific release induced by STIM001 and STIM003 was calculated according to the kit instructions. This experiment was repeated with NK-cells from independent donors and 3 technical replicates were included for each assay condition.


Results

Anti-ICOS antibodies STIM001 (hIgG1) and STIM003 (hIgG1) kill ICOS positive human MJ cells in a primary NK dependent ADCC assay (2 hour time point). See also FIG. 6a. Sub-Nanomolar EC50 were achieved in this assay for both molecules tested.

Example 10b: ADCC Assay with MJ Target Cells

The experiment was performed according to the Materials and Methods set out in Example 10a. STIM001, STIM003 and isotype control were 1:4 serially diluted in assay media +2 mM Probenecid to give final 4× antibody concentrations ranging from 40 μg/mL to 80 pg/mL. 50 μl of diluted Ab, 50 μl of BATDA loaded MJ cells, 50 μl of NK cells and 50 μl of assay media +2 mM Probenecid (final volume of 200 μl/well) were added in each well to give a final Ab concentration ranging from 10 μg/mL to 20 pg/mL and an effector: target ratio of 5:1.

Example 10c: ADCC Assay with ICOS-Transfected CCRF-CEM Target Cells

STIM001 and STIM003 hIgG1 potential to kill via ADCC was further tested in the Delfia BATDA cytotoxicity assay (Perkin Elmer) using human primary NK cells as effector and ICOS-transfected CCRF-CEM cells (ATCC, CRL-119) as target cells. CCRF-CEM is a human T lymphoblast line, originating from peripheral blood from a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Antibody-mediated killing of CCRF-CEM cells was confirmed for both STIM001 and STIM003 in this assay.


Materials and Methods

Materials and Methods were as set out in Example 10a, but using CCRF-CEM cells obtained from ATCC (ATCC CCL-119) rather than MJ cells as the target cells, and using an incubation time of 4 hours.


CCRF-CEM cells were transfected with ICOS. A synthetic string DNA encoding full length human ICOS (with signal peptide, as shown in the appended sequence listing), codon-optimised for mammalian expression, was cloned into an expression vector under control of the CMV promoter and flanked by 3′ and 5′ piggyBac specific terminal repeat sequences facilitating stable integration into the cell genome (see [40]). The expression vector contained a puromycin selection cassette to facilitate stable cell line generation. The human ICOS expression plasmid was co-transfected with a plasmid encoding piggyBac transposase into CEM CCRF cells by electroporation. 24 hours after transfection, the media was supplemented with puromycin and grown for at least two weeks to select stable cell lines, with media being exchanged every 3-4 days. The expression of human ICOS was assessed by flow cytometry using an anti-human ICOS-PE conjugated antibody (eBioscience). Complete CEM media was made up of Advanced RPMI Medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS and 2 mM Glutamax.


STIM001 (hIgG1), STIM003 (hIgG1) and an isotype control antibody (HC IgG1) were serially diluted in assay media to give final 4× antibody concentrations ranging from 20 μg/mL to 80 pg/mL.


50 μl of diluted Ab, 50 μl of BATDA loaded ICOS-transfected CEM cells, 50 μl of NK cells and 50 μl of assay media (final volume of 200 μl/well) were added in each well to give a final Ab concentration ranging from 5 μg/mL to 20 pg/mL and an effector: target ratio of 5:1.


Results

STIM001 (hIgG1) and STIM003 (hIgG1) killed ICOS-transfected CCRF-CEM cells in the primary NK dependent ADCC assay, measured at the four hour time point. Results are shown in FIG. 6 (e-g) and in the table below.

Example 11a: CT26 Syngeneic Model

Improved anti-tumour in vivo efficacy was shown in a CT26 syngeneic model by combining anti-ICOS (STIM001 mIgG2a, effector enable) with anti-PDL1 (10F9G2).


Materials and Methods

Efficacy studies were performed in Balb/c mice using the sub-cutaneous CT26 colon carcinoma model (ATCC, CRL-2638). This model is poorly sensitive to PD1/PDL1 blockade and only tumour growth delay (no stable disease or cure) is usually observed in response to 10F9.G2 (anti-PDL1) and RMT1-14 (anti-PD1) monotherapies. Therefore this model constitutes a relevant model for looking at anti-PD1, anti-PDL1 intrinsic resistance for combination studies. All in vivo experiments were performed in accordance with the UK Animal (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and the EU Directive 86/609, under a UK Home Office Project Licence and approved by the Babraham Institute Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Body.


Balb/c mice were supplied by Charles River UK at 6-8 weeks of age and >18 g and housed under specific pathogen-free conditions. A total of 1×105 CT26 cells (passage number below P20) were subcutaneously injected into the left flanks of mice. Unless stated otherwise, treatment were initiated at day 6 post tumour cells injection. The CT26 cells were passaged in vitro by using Accutase (Sigma), washed twice in PBS and resuspended in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. Cell viability was confirmed to be above 90% at the time of tumour cell injection.


For in vivo studies STIM001 anti-ICOS agonist (cross reactive to mouse ICOS protein) was reformatted as mouse IgG1 and mouse IgG2a to test the as effector function null and as effector function enable, respectively. The Anti-PDL1 was sourced from Biolegend (Cat.no:124325). The hybrid controls were generated in Kymab (mIgG2a isotype) or from commercial source (hamster isotype HTK888, Biolegend (Part No92257, Lot B215504)). All antibodies were dosed intraperitoneal (IP) at 10 mg/kg (1 mg/ml in 0.9% saline) three times a week from day 6 (dosing for 2 weeks day 6-18) as monotherapies or by combining anti-PDL1 with anti-ICOS antibodies. Animal weight and tumour volume were measured 3 times per week from the day of tumour cell injection. Tumour volume was calculated by use of the modified ellipsoid formula ½(Length×Width2). Mice were kept on studies until their tumour reached an average diameter of 12 mm3 or, in rare case, when incidence of tumour ulceration was observed (welfare). The experiment was stopped at day 50. The human endpoint survival statistics were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method with Prism. This approach was used to determine if specific treatments were associated with improved survival.

Results

As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, ICOS agonists can delay disease progression and cure a proportion of animals from the CT-26 subcutaneous tumours either as a monotherapy or in combination with anti-PDL1. Anti-PDL1 monotherapy induced tumour growth delay but no stable disease or curative potential was observed. The combination was more effective at treating the tumours than the anti-ICOS monotherapies. This study also highlighted that STIM001 in the mouse IgG2a format (effector function enable) was more potent than the mouse IgG1 (effector null) format at triggering an anti-tumour response in this model.


Example 11b: Strong Anti-Tumour Efficacy In Vivo in CT26 Syngeneic Model for Combination of Anti-ICOS mIgG2a with Anti-PDL1 mIgG2a

An in vivo combination study was performed with STIM001 with a mouse cross reactive anti-human PDL1 antibody designated AbW. For this in vivo work, STIM001 was reformatted as mouse IgG1 and mouse IgG2a to compare its efficacy with low effector function or as effector function enabled molecule, respectively. The anti-PDL1 AbW was generated in the same formats (mouse IgG1 and mouse IgG2A).


The efficacy studies were performed in Balb/c mice using the sub-cutaneous CT26 colon carcinoma model (ATCC, CRL-2638). Balb/c mice were supplied by Charles River UK at 6-8 weeks of age and >18 g and housed under specific pathogen-free conditions. A total of 1×10E5 CT26 cells (passage number below P20) were subcutaneously injected into the right flanks of mice. Unless stated otherwise, treatment were initiated at day 6 post tumour cells injection. The CT26 cells were passaged in vitro by using TrypLE™ Express Enzyme (Thermofisher), washed twice in PBS and resuspended in RPMI supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum. Cell viability was confirmed to be above 90% at the time of tumour cell injection.


STIM001 and anti-PDL1 antibodies were dosed concurrently in combinations intraperitoneal (IP) at 200 μg each (1 mg/ml in 0.9% saline) three times a week from day 6 (dosing for 2 weeks between day 6-17) post tumour cell implantation. Tumour growth was monitored and compared to tumours of animals treated with a mixture of isotype control antibodies (mIgG1 and mIgG2A). Animal weight and tumour volume were measured 3 times a week from the day of tumour cell injection. Tumour volume was calculated by use of the modified ellipsoid formula ½(Length×Width2). Mice were kept on studies until their tumour reached an average diameter of 12 mm3 or, in rare case, when incidence of tumour ulceration was observed (welfare). The experiment was stopped at day 60. The human endpoint survival statistics were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method with Prism. This approach was used to determine if specific treatments were associated with improved survival.

Results are shown in FIG. 10. All antibody combinations delayed tumour growth and extended the survival (time to reach human endpoint) of treated animals when compared to isotype control-treated animals. Interestingly, when combined with anti-PDL1 (independently of its format, mIgG1 or mIgG2a), STIM001 mIgG2a antibody was more effective at inhibiting tumour growth than STIM001 in the mIgG1 format. These data suggest the advantage of an anti-ICOS antibody having effector function to maximize anti-tumour efficacy. Notably, STIM001 mIgG2a in combination with aPD-L1 mIgG2a demonstrated the strongest anti-tumour efficacy and improved survival (90% of animals to show response and 60% were cured from the disease at day 60).


Similarly, STIM003 mIgG1 and mIgG2a were tested as monotherapy or in combination with anti-PDL1 (AbW) mIgG2a in the same CT26 tumour models. STIM003 and anti-PDL1 antibodies were dosed in animals as monotherapy or in combination by intraperitoneal injection (IP) of 200 μg of antibodies each (1 mg/ml in 0.9% saline) three times a week from day 6 (dosing for 2 weeks between day 6-17) post tumour cell implantation. In this experiment tumour sizes were monitored for 41 days. The human endpoint survival statistics were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method with Prism. This approach was used to determine if specific treatments were associated with improved survival.

Results are shown in FIG. 11. Monotherapies using aPDL1 (AbW) and STIM003 mIgG2a demonstrated mild anti-tumour activity (one animal was cured of the disease in each group). Combinations of STIM003 mIgG1 or mIgG2a with aPDL1 (AbW) mIgG2a showed strong anti-tumour efficacy. Interestingly, by day 41, when combined with aPDL1 mIgG2a, STIM003 mIgG2a was more potent at inhibiting tumour growth than STIM003 mIgG1 (60% vs 30% of animals cured of the disease, respectively). The data further highlighted the advantage of an effector format for anti-ICOS antibodies to maximize anti-tumour efficacy.


Altogether, these data demonstrate that combination of an anti-ICOS antibody STIM001 or STIM003 with anti-PDL1 results in the strongest anti-tumour response when both antibodies have an effector enabled function. Suitable corresponding human antibody isotypes would include human IgG1, optionally with further enhanced effector function e.g., afucosylated IgG1.


Kaplan Meier curves for mice treated with the combination of anti-PDL1 mIgG2a and STIM003 mIgG2a and for each agent individually are shown in FIG. 29.


Example 11c: Single Dose of STIM003 Antibody Resets the Tumour Microenvironment (TME) and Results in Strong Anti-Tumour Efficacy in Combination with Continuous Anti-PD-L1 Dosing

This study compared single vs multiple dosing of STIM003 mIgG2A together with multiple dosing of anti-PDL1 antibody (AbW). The data indicate that a single dose of anti-ICOS antibody could alter the tumour microenvironment so as to allow an anti-PD-L1 antibody to exert a greater effect. This can be envisaged as a “resetting” of the TME by the anti-ICOS antibody.


As before, these efficacy studies were performed in Balb/c mice using the sub-cutaneous CT26 colon carcinoma model (ATCC, CRL-2638). Balb/c mice were supplied by Charles River UK at 6-8 weeks of age and >18 g and housed under specific pathogen-free conditions. A total of 1×10E5 CT26 cells (passage number below P20) were subcutaneously injected into the right flanks of mice. Unless stated otherwise, treatments were initiated at day 6 post tumour cells injection. The CT26 cells were passaged in vitro by using TrypLE™ Express Enzyme (Thermofisher), washed twice in PBS and resuspended in RPMI supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum. Cell viability was confirmed to be above 90% at the time of tumour cell injection.


Treatment groups are shown in Table E11-4. STIM003 and anti-PDL1 antibodies were dosed intraperitoneal (IP) at 10 mg/kg (1 mg/ml in 0.9% saline). Treatments were initiated from day 6 post tumour cell implantation. Tumour growth was monitored and compared with tumours of animals treated with saline. Animal weight and tumour volume were measured 3 times a week from the day of tumour cell injection. Tumour volume was calculated by use of the modified ellipsoid formula ½(Length×Width2). Mice were kept on studies until their tumour reached an average diameter of 12 mm3 or, in rare case, when incidence of tumour ulceration was observed (welfare). The experiment was stopped at day 55.


Data are shown in FIG. 34. Concurrent dosing of STIM003 and anti-PDL1 for 6 doses from day 6 resulted in a strong anti-tumour efficacy in the CT26 model with 5/8 animals being tumour free at the end of the study (day 55). Interestingly, similar anti-tumour efficacy was achieved with a single dose of STIM003 followed by multiple dose of anti-PDL1 as monotherapy. When combined with anti-PD-L1 mIgG2a, similar overall efficacy was observed between dosing STIM003 once (C) vs dosing 6 times (B). When compared with saline treated group (A) where only one animal had a spontaneous tumour rejection (rare in this model), the groups treated with combined drugs had full tumour rejection in 62.5% of the animals by the end of the experiment (day 55). The data suggest that the STIM003 antibody could be used to reset the tumour microenvironment and that the antibody allows immune-checkpoint resistant tumours to become sensitive to anti-PDL1. As previously shown (Example 11b), the CT26 tumour cell line is not strongly responsive to anti-PDL1 monotherapy. It appears that STIM003 causes changes that facilitate anti-tumour activity of the anti-PDL1 therapy.

Additional antibody sequences were obtained by next generation sequencing of PCR-amplified antibody DNA from further ICOS-specific cells that were sorted from the immunised mice as described in Example 3. This identified a number of antibodies that could be grouped into clusters with STIM001, STIM002 or STIM003 based their heavy and light chain v and j gene segments and CDR3 length. CL-61091 clustered with STIM001; CL-64536, CL-64837, CL-64841 and CL-64912 clustered with STIM002; and CL-71642 and CL-74570 clustered with STIM003.

Example 13: Agonism of ICOS-Expressing MJ Cells by Bead-Bound Antibody

Antibodies STIM001, STIM002 and STIM003, the anti-ICOS antibody C398.4A, and ICOS ligand (ICOSL-Fc), were each covalently coupled to beads and assessed for their ability to induce expression of the cytokine IFN-γ from MJ cells grown in culture. Human IgG1 and Clone C398.4A isotype controls coupled to beads were assessed in parallel.


Data are shown in FIG. 12 and Table E13 below.


Each of the anti-ICOS antibodies demonstrated agonism in this assay, stimulating MJ cells as determined by IFN-γ quantification significantly above that observed by their cognate isotype controls within the dynamic range of the assay.


STIM003 and Clone C398.4A produced lower top asymptote values (95% CI: 3.79 to 5.13 and 3.07 to 4.22, respectively) but more potent Log EC50 values (95% CI: −9.40 to −9.11 and −9.56 to −9.23, respectively) compared with STIM001 (Top 95% CI: 7.21 to 8.88 and Log EC50 95% CI: −8.82 to −8.63) and STIM002 (Top 95% CI: 5.38 to 6.95 and Log EC50 95% CI: −9.00 to −8.74). Because incomplete curves (Top out of dynamic range of assay) were produced for ICOSL-Fc and Clone C398.4A isotype control, the fitted Top and Log EC50 values were not treated as reliable. Human IgG1 Hybrid Control produced a complete curve, however the area under the curve was not significantly different from 0 and it was therefore not deemed to be an agonist.

MJ Cell Activation Assay Materials and Methods—Bead-Bound
Coupling Proteins of Interest to Magnetic Particles

Anti-ICOS antibodies, control antibodies, and ICOSL-Fc, were coupled to beads as follows.


Dynabeads M-450 Tosylactivated (Invitrogen; approximately 2×10{circumflex over ( )}8 beads/sample) were incubated with 100 μg of each protein sample overnight at room temperature with agitation. Beads were washed three times with DPBS (Gibco) and incubated with 1M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 (UltraPure™, Gibco) for 1 hr at room temperature with agitation to block the uncoupled reactive sites. Beads were washed again three times with DPBS and finally resuspended in 0.5 ml of DPBS/sample.


The quantity of each protein of interest on the beads was then determined as follows. Black flat bottom, high binding ELISA plates (Greiner) were coated with Anti-human IgG (Southern Biotech) or Anti-Armenian Hamster IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch) capture antibody at 4 μg/ml in DPBS, 50 μl/well, overnight at 4° C. Wells were then washed three times with DPBS+0.1% Tween, 200 μl/well and blocked with 200 μl/well of DPBS+1% BSA for 1 hr at RT. Wells were washed again three times with DPBS+0.1% Tween. Stock protein samples were quantified spectrometrically and beads were counted on a cell counter. Dilution series of protein samples and beads were then incubated in the plates at 50 μl/well for 1 hr at RT before washing again three times with DPBS+0.1% Tween. 50 μl/well of either biotinylated anti-armenian hamster antibody or anti-human IgG—europium in DPBS+0.1% BSA were added and incubated for 1 hr at RT. In the case of addition of biotinylated anti-Armenian hamster antibody C398.4A another incubation step with 50 μl/well of streptavidin-europium (Perkin Elmer) diluted 1:500 in Assay buffer (Perkin Elmer) were added and incubated for 1 hr at RT. The wells were washed three times with 200 μl/well of TBS+0.1% Tween before developing the assay by adding 50 μl/well of Delfia enhancement solution (Perkin Elmer), incubating for 10 mins at RT and measuring the fluorescence emitted at 615 nm on the EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader. The quantity of protein on the beads was determined by extrapolating values from the signals obtained from known concentrations of uncoupled protein samples.


MJ Cell In Vitro Activation Assay—Bead Bound

MJ [G11] cell line (ATCC CRL-8294) was grown in IMDM (Gibco or ATCC) supplemented with 20% heat inactivated FBS. Cells were counted and 15000 cells/well (50 μl/well) of cell suspension was added to 96-well clear flat bottom polystyrene sterile TC-treated microplates. Beads were counted and serial 1:2 dilutions ranging from 1.5×10{circumflex over ( )}6 beads/well to approximately 5860 beads/well (50 μl/well) were added to the cells in duplicate or in triplicate. To account for background several wells of the plate contained MJ cells only (100 μl/well). The cells and beads were co-cultured in the plates for 3 days at 37° C. and 5% CO2 after which supernatants were harvested by centrifugation and collected for IFN-γ content determination.


Measuring IFN-γ Levels

The IFN-γ content in each well was determined using a modification of the Human IFN-gamma DuoSet ELISA kit (R&D systems). Capture antibody (50 μl/well) was coated overnight at 4 μg/ml in DPBS on black flat bottom, high binding plates (Greiner). The wells were washed three times with 200 μl/well of DPBS+0.1% Tween. The wells were blocked with 200 μl/well of 1% BSA in DPBS (w/v), washed three times with 200 μl/well of DPBS+0.1% Tween and then 50 μl/well of either the IFN-γ standard solutions in RPMI or neat cell supernatant were added to each well and incubated for 1 hr at RT. The wells were washed three times with 200 μl/well of DPBS+0.1% Tween before adding 50 μl/well of biotinylated detection antibody at 200 ng/ml in DPBS+0.1% BSA and incubated for 1 hr at RT. The wells were washed three times with 200 μl/well of DPBS+0.1% Tween before adding 50 μl/well of streptavidin-europium (Perkin Elmer) diluted 1:500 in Assay buffer (Perkin Elmer) and incubated for 1 hr at RT. The wells were washed three times with 200 μl/well of TBS+0.1% Tween before developing the assay by adding 50 μl/well of Delfia enhancement solution (Perkin Elmer) and incubating for 10 mins at RT and measuring the fluorescence emitted at 615 nm on the EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader.


Data Analysis

IFN-γ values for each well were interpolated from the standard curve and the average background levels from cell-only wells were subtracted. The background corrected values were then used in GraphPad prism to fit a 4-parameter log-logistic concentration response curve.


Example 14: Agonism of ICOS-Expressing MJ Cells by Plate-Bound Antibody

An alternative assay for agonism of ICOS-expressing T cells uses antibodies in a plate-bound format.


MJ Cell Activation Assay Materials and Methods—Plate-Bound

Antibody coating: 96-well, sterile, flat, high binding plates (Costar) were coated overnight at 4° C. with 100 μl/well of serial 1:2 dilutions of proteins of interest (anti-ICOS antibodies, control antibodies, and ICOSL-Fc) in DPBS (Gibco) ranging from 10 μg/ml to 0.02 μg/ml of in duplicate or in triplicate. To account for background several wells of the plate were coated with DPBS only. Plates were then washed three times with 200 μl/well of DPBS before the addition of cells.


Cell stimulation: MJ [G11] cell line (ATCC CRL-8294) was grown in IMDM (Gibco or ATCC) supplemented with 20% heat inactivated FBS. The cells were counted and 15000 cells/well (100 μl/well) of cell suspension were added to the protein coated plates. Cells were cultured in the plates for 3 days at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Cells were separated from the media by centrifugation and the supernatants collected for IFN-γ content determination.


Measurement of IFNγ levels and data analysis was as described in Example 13.


Results

Results are shown in FIG. 13 and in Table E14-1 below. In summary, STIM001, STIM002 and STIM003 all showed potent agonism as measured by IFN-γ secretion with similar Log EC50 values (Log EC50 95% CI: −7.76 to −7.64, −7.79 to −7.70 and −7.82 to −7.73, respectively) and Top values (Top 95% CI: 2.06 to 2.54, 2.44 to 2.93 and 2.01 to 2.41, respectively). Clone C398.4A exhibited a similar Log EC50 value (Log EC50 95% CI: −7.78 to −7.60) but lower Top value (Top 95% CI: 1.22 to 1.63) than STIM001 to STIM003. STIM004 also showed agonism in this assay, but was less potent, reaching a moderate Top value (Top 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.82) with a similar Log EC50 value (Log EC50 95% CI: −7.91 to −7.21). STIM001, STIM002 and STIM003 were stronger agonists than ICOSL-Fc (Log EC50 95% CI: −7.85 to −7.31 and Top 95% CI: 0.87 to 2.45).

Example 15: Agonism of ICOS-Expressing MJ Cells by Antibody in Soluble Form

In contrast to the assays described in Example 13 and Example 14, which used antibody arrayed on a solid surface, this assay determines whether antibody in soluble form acts as agonist of ICOS-expressing T cells.


MJ Cell Activation Assay Materials and Methods—Soluble

MJ [G11] cell line (ATCC CRL-8294) was grown in IMDM (Gibco or ATCC) supplemented with 20% heat inactivated FBS. Cells were counted and 15000 cells/well (50 μl/well) of cell suspension was added to 96-well clear flat bottom polystyrene sterile TC-treated microplates. Serial 1:2 dilutions of proteins of interest ranging from 10 μg/ml to 0.01953125 μg/ml either alone or with the addition of a cross-linking reagent (AffiniPure F(ab′)2 Fragment Goat Anti-Human IgG, Fc Fragment Specific; Jackson ImmunoResearch) were added to the cells in duplicate or in triplicate (50 μl/well). To account for background several wells of the plate contained MJ cells only (100 μl/well). The cells and beads were co-cultured in the plates for 3 days at 37° C. and 5% CO2 after which supernatants were harvested by centrifugation and collected for IFN-γ content determination.


Measurement of IFNγ levels and data analysis was as described in Example 13.


Results

STIM001 and STIM002 both showed significant soluble agonism as measured by IFN-γ secretion compared to Human IgG4.PE hybrid control. MAb cross-linking via Goat Anti-Human IgG Fc F(ab′)2 Fragment increased secreted IFN-γ levels even more.


Example 16: Binding of Antibody to Activated T Cells
A. Human ICOS

Ability of anti-ICOS antibodies to recognise the ICOS extracellular domain in its native context on the surface of activated primary human T cells is confirmed in this assay.


Pan T-cells (CD3 cells) were isolated and cultured for 3 days with CD3/CD28 dynabeads (Thermofisher) to induce ICOS expression on their surface. Surface staining of STIM001, STIM003 and the hIgG1 hybrid control (HC IgG1) was determined by two methods, namely detection following direct binding of pre-labelled antibodies (antibodies directly conjugated with AF647) or indirectly via the use of a secondary AF647-Goat anti-human Fc antibody. Stained cells were ran on the Attune and staining intensity was presented as Mean of fluorescence intensity (MFI). EC50 was determined using GraphPad Prism.


Results are shown in FIG. 14. Once activated, pan CD3 T cells were clearly stained by both STIM001 and STIM003 hIgG1. Notably, the saturation of STIM003 binding to activated T cells occurred at a lower concentration than that of STIM001, suggesting higher affinity of STIM003 to human ICOS. The EC50 of STIM003 was roughly 100× lower than that of STIM001 (0.148 nM vs 17 nM for the indirect binding assay).


B. ICOS from Non-Human Primates


Ability of anti-ICOS antibodies to recognise the ICOS extracellular domain in its native context on the surface of activated primary T cells from non-human primates (NHP) is confirmed in this assay.


PBMC from whole blood of 2 Mauritian cynomolgus macaques (Wickham Laboratories) were isolated by gradient centrifugation and cultured for 3 days with CD2/CD3/CD28 MACSiBeads (Miltenyi) to induce ICOS expression on their surface. Surface staining of STIM001, STIM003 and the hIgG1 hybrid control (HC IgG1) was determined following direct binding of AF647 pre-labelled antibodies (from 80 μg to 8 pg/ml). Cells were also labelled with V450-CD3 to assess staining on T-cell subsets. Stained cells were run on Attune (Thermofisher) and staining intensity was presented as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). EC50 was determined using GraphPad Prism.


Results are shown in FIG. 28. Once activated, T cells were clearly stained by both STIM001 and STIM003 hIgG1. As was observed with binding to human T cells, saturation of STIM003 binding to activated NHP T cells occurred at lower concentration than that of STIM001, indicating that STIM0003 has the higher affinity of these two antibodies ICOS. EC50 values for binding to NHP ICOS were similar to those obtained for binding to human ICOS.

Example 17: Analysis of T Cell Sub-Populations Among Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Peripheral T Cells

A pharmacodynamics study revealed that anti-ICOS antibodies STIM001 and STIM003 in mIgG2a isotype significantly deplete TRegs, increase the percentage of CD4+ effector cells and increase the CD4+ effector/TReg ratio as well as the CD8+/TReg ratio within the tumour microenvironment (TME).


The increased CD8+/TReg ratio and increased number of CD4+ effector cells within the TME may collectively contribute to the CT26 tumour clearance observed when these anti-ICOS antibodies were co-injected with anti-PDL1 antibody in the STIM001 & STIM003 efficacy study (Example 11).


Method

The pharmacodynamics study was performed in female Balb/c mice bearing CT-26 mouse colon carcinoma cells (ATCC, CRL-2638). Balb/c mice were supplied by Charles River UK at 6-8 weeks of age and >18 g and housed under specific pathogen-free conditions. A total of 1×10E5 CT-26 tumour cells (passage number: P8) were subcutaneously injected in the right flank. All CT-26 tumour bearing animals were assigned to 6 groups (Table E17-1) and individual mice were dosed twice (on Day 13 & Day 15 post tumour cell implantation) with 200 μg of antibody or saline. CD3+ T-cells from the CT-26 tumour bearing animals were analysed by FACS on day 16 post tumour cell implantation.

Results

Animals treated with STIM001 & STIM003 in the mIgG2a isotype showed a lower percentage of CD4+ CD3+ CD45+ cells at the tumour site when compared with saline treated group (FIG. 15A), whereas STIM001 or STIM003 treatments had very marginal effect of the percentage of CD8+ CD3+ CD45+ cells at the tumour site (FIG. 15B). The decrease in CD4+ T cells could be attributed to a profound decrease in the percentages of T-Regulatory cells in all the groups treated with STIM001 and STIM003 antibodies. Notably, animals treated with STIM001 and STIM003 in the mIgG2a isotype showed a dramatic reduction in T-Regs (CD4+ Foxp3+ CD25+) within the TME, whereas STIM001 & STIM003 in the mIgG1 isotype had only a modest effect on T-Reg content in TME. In addition, animals treated with STIM001 & STIM003 in the mIgG2a isotype had reduced T-Reg in the TME when compared with the animals treated with a commercial anti-CTLA-4 (9H10, Biolegend Cat#106208) antibody which is known to deplete T-Reg [42], but this result did not reach statistical significance (FIG. 15C). The effect of STIM001 and STIM003 either in mIgG1 or mIgG2a isotypes on T-Reg compartment was more specific with tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). T-reg depletion was not observed in the periphery (as previously described for anti-CTLA4 [43]) (FIG. 15D). The changes in T-Reg contents also resulted in a significant increase in the percentage of intra-tumoural CD4-effector cells (CD4+Foxp3− CD25−) (FIG. 15E), similarly the ratio of CD4 effector/T-Reg and CD8/T-Reg ratio in the animals treated with STIM001 & STIM003 in the mIgG2a was also significantly increased within TME (FIG. 15F & FIG. 15G).


Example 18: Effect of Anti-ICOS Antibody on Level of ICOS-Expressing T Cells in CT26 Tumour and Spleen

Analysis was performed to quantify the percentage of immune cells within the tumour compared with the spleen, by analysis of total immune cells in the tumour and spleen tissues, following treatment with anti-ICOS antibody STIM001 or STIM003. STIM001 and STIM003 mIgG2a each caused a significant reduction in Treg within the tumour, but not in the spleen, indicating a tumour-selective effect. This depletion was selective for Tregs compared with other T cell subtypes. The results presented here assist in understanding the effects of the STIM antibodies on the immune contexture, and confirm that anti-ICOS antibodies with effector-function-enabled Fc regions can strongly deplete TRegs.


Materials and Methods

Mice bearing CT26 tumours were dosed twice with STIM001, STIM003, or anti-CTLA4 antibody (9H10). The anti-CTLA4 antibody was included as a positive control for Treg depletion, as anti-CTLA4 antibody had been previously shown to selectively reduce Tregs in tumours [43].


The immune contexture within the tumours and the spleen of treated animals was analysed by FACS following tissue disaggregation.


Details of FAGS antibodies used in this study are shown in Table E18. All FACS antibodies were used at a concentration recommended by the supplier. FACS data were acquired using Attune NxT flow cytometer and data were analysed using FlowJo software.

Results

ICOS expression was determined in the CT26 tumours and in the spleen of tumour-bearing animals. We observed an increased percentage of tumour infiltrating immune cells expressing ICOS protein (FIG. 20), indicating that immune cells in the tumours are more often positive for ICOS expression than immune cells in the periphery. TRegs in the tumour of untreated animals were nearly all (>90%) positive for ICOS expression, whereas CD8+ effector T cells in the tumour were not (approx. 60%). Comparing T cell subpopulations (again in untreated mice) in tumour with those in spleen, a significantly higher (p<0.0001) percentage of intratumoural Tregs were positive for ICOS compared with Tregs in spleen, and a significantly higher (p<0.001) percentage of intratumoural CD4+ Teff cells were positive for ICOS compared with CD4+ Teff cells in spleen.


Also in the mice before treatment, the level of ICOS expression was much higher on immune cells in the microenvironment of CT26 tumours, when compared with immune cells in the spleen (FIG. 21). ICOS expression was increased on the surface of all immune cell subsets analysed (CD8 T-Effector, CD4 T-Effector and CD4/FoxP3 TReg cells) in the tumour microenvironment. Note that although immune cells in the tumours and the spleen are both expressing ICOS, immune cells in the tumour are expressing significantly more ICOS (indicated by higher MFI, FIG. 21) than cells in the spleen (indicated by lower MFI, FIG. 21). Importantly, TRegs in the tumour are expressing the highest levels of ICOS, as previously reported [11].


CT26 tumour bearing animals were treated with 2 doses of antibody STIM001 or STIM003 and with an anti-CTLA-4 antibody. The STIM antibodies did not affect the overall percentage of CD45 positive cells (a marker for immune cells) in the tumours, when used in either mIgG1 or mIgG2 format. Nor did treatment with these antibodies significantly affect the percentage of CD8 effector T cells in CT26 tumours (FIG. 22). Treatment with STIM001 in mIgG2a isotype led to a significant (p<0.05) depletion of CD4+ effector T cells, but none of STIM001 mIgG1, STIM003 mIgG1 and STIM003 mIgG2a affected the percentage of CD4+ effector T cells.


Anti-CTLA-4 treatment produced a notable (albeit not statistically significant) increase in CD45+ cells and CD8+ effector T cells in the TME, but did not affect CD4+ effector T cells (FIG. 22).


The STIM antibodies significantly affected regulatory T cells in the tumour. As shown in FIG. 23, STIM001 mIgG2a and STIM003 mIgG2a significantly and selectively depleted TRegs (which are high for ICOS expression) in the tumour microenvironment. Interestingly, the anti-CTLA4 antibody which, despite being included as a positive control for TReg depletion in this experiment, was less effective than the STIM mIgG2a antibodies at depleting TRegs.


This selective depletion of TRegs resulted in an increase in the ratio CD8 effector T cells to TRegs in the tumour, and an increase in the ratio of CD4 effector T cells to TRegs in the tumour, both of which should favour an anti-tumour immune response. Ratio data are shown in FIG. 24.


In contrast to the depletion of intratumoural Tregs by STIM001 mIgG2a and STIM003 mIgG2a, no such effect was observed on Tregs in spleen (FIG. 25, FIG. 26, FIG. 27). This indicates that the effects of the anti-ICOS antibodies on depletion of Tregs depletion was not systemic in all the tissues. Such selectivity could be advantageous for therapeutic anti-ICOS antibodies in treating tumours in patients, as preferential depletion of Tregs in the tumour microenvironment could selectively relieve suppression of anti-tumour effector T cells, while minimising side effects at other sites in the body. The anti-ICOS antibodies may thus promote an anti-tumour response in the immune system with a low risk of undesirable activation of a wider T cell response that could cause treatment-limiting autoimmune adverse events.


Example 19: Antibody Stability

STIM003 human IgG1 was tested for stability during storage, freeze/thawing and purification, and was found to maintain its stability under all tested conditions. % aggregation was determined by HPLC.


There was no significant change in the percentage of monomer (>99%) after 3 months storage at 4° C. in buffer (10 mM sodium phosphate, 40 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.0).


On thermal denaturation testing, all samples (n=15) had the same Tm (no significant difference between aliquots) and had comparable thermal denaturation curves.


There was no significant change in Tm (≈70.3° C.), the percentage of monomer or the profile on SDS-PAGE after 3 cycles of freeze and thaw.


There was no significant change in Tm (≈70.3° C.), the percentage of monomer or the profile on SDS-PAGE after 7 days' storage at room temperature.


There was 90% recovery post protein A purification.


Example 20: Monotherapeutic Efficacy of Anti-ICOS Ab Against A20 Tumour Growth in Mouse

Anti-ICOS antibodies STIM001 mIgG2a and STIM003 mIgG2a each showed strong anti-tumour efficacy when used as monotherapies in vivo in a mouse A20 syngeneic model.


Materials and Methods

The efficacy study was performed in BALB/c mice using the sub-cutaneous A20 reticulum cell sarcoma model (ATCC, TIB-208). The A20 cell line is a BALB/c B cell lymphoma line derived from a spontaneous reticulum cell neoplasm found in an old BALB/cAnN mouse. This cell line has been reported to be positive for ICOSL.


BALB/c mice were supplied by Charles River UK>18 gram and housed under specific pathogen-free conditions. A total of 5×10e5 A20 cells (passage number below P20) were subcutaneously injected into the right flanks of mice. The A20 cells were passaged in vitro washed twice in PBS and re-suspended in RPMI supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum. Cell viability was confirmed to be above 85% at the time of tumour cell injection. Unless stated otherwise, antibody or isotype administration was initiated from day 8 post tumour cells injection.


STIM001 and STIM003 anti-ICOS antibodies were generated in mouse IgG2a isotype format. The mouse cross reactive anti-PD-L1 antibody (AbW) was also generated in the same isotype format (mouse IgG2a). STIM001, STIM003 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies were dosed intraperitoneally (IP) at 200 μg of each antibody twice a week starting from day 8 (dosing for 3 weeks between day 8-29) post tumour cell implantation. Animal weights and tumour volume were measured 3 times a week from the day of tumour cell injection. Tumour volume was calculated by use of the modified ellipsoid formula ½(Length×Width2). Mice were kept on study until their tumour reached an average diameter of 12 mm. The experiment was stopped at day 43 post tumour cell implantation. Tumour growth was monitored and compared with tumours of animals treated with isotype control (mIgG2a) antibody. Treatment groups are shown in Table E20 below.

Results

Monotherapy administration of either STIM001 or STIM003 (mIgG2a) in the A20 tumour model produced a complete anti-tumour response (FIG. 32, FIG. 33). All the animals administered with either STIM001 or STIM003 were cured of the disease. This contrasts with the results in the isotype control and PD-L1 mIgG2a groups (FIG. 30, FIG. 31). In rare cases, regression of tumours was observed for some animals in the isotype control (spontaneous regression) and anti-PDL-1 groups, but treatment with anti-ICOS antibody produced significantly greater efficacy. At the end of the study, 3 of 8 control animals and 2 of 8 anti-PDL-1 treated animals had no tumour. However, all animals treated with either STIM001 or STIM003 were tumour free at the end of the study (8 of 8 mice in both groups), representing 100% cure using the anti-ICOS antibodies.


Example 21: Strong Anti-Tumour Efficacy In Vivo in the J558 Myeloma Syngeneic Model for Combination of Anti-ICOS Antibody and Anti-PD-L1 Antibody

Anti-ICOS antibody STIM003 mIgG2a and anti-PD-L1 antibody AbW mIgG2a were administered individually and in combination in the J558 tumour model. This is a syngeneic mouse model of myeloma. The anti-ICOS antibody was found to inhibit tumour growth when dosed as monotherapy or in combination with anti-PD-L1.


Materials & Methods

Anti-tumour efficacy studies were performed in Balb/c mice using the sub-cutaneous J558 plasmacytoma:myeloma cell line (ATCC, TIB-6). Balb/c mice were supplied by Charles River UK at 6-8 weeks of age and >18 g and housed under specific pathogen-free conditions. A total of 5×106 cells (passage number below P15) were subcutaneously injected (in 100 μl) into the right flanks of mice. Unless stated otherwise, on day 11 post tumour cells injection, the animals were randomised based on tumour size and treatments were initiated. The J558 cells were passaged in vitro by using TrypLE™ Express Enzyme (Thermofisher), washed twice in PBS and resuspended in DMEM supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum. Cell viability was confirmed to be above 90% at the time of tumour cell injection.


Treatment was initiated when the tumours reached an average volume of ˜140 mm{circumflex over ( )}3. Animals were then allocated to 4 groups with similar average tumour size (see Table E-21 for the dosing groups). Both antibodies, which are mouse cross-reactive, were dosed IP from day 11 (post tumour cell implantation) twice a week for 3 weeks (FIG. 38) unless the animals had to be removed from study due to welfare (rare) or tumour size. As a control, a group of animals (n=10) was dosed at the same time using a saline solution. For the combination group, both STIM003 and anti-PDL1 antibodies were dosed concurrently IP at 60 μg and 200 μg respectively (in 0.9% saline). Tumour growth was monitored over 37 days and compared to tumours of animals treated with saline. Animal weight and tumour volume were measured 3 time a week from the day of tumour cell injection. Tumour volume was calculated by use of the modified ellipsoid formula ½(Length×Width2). Mice were kept on studies until their tumour reached an average diameter of 12 mm3 or, in rare cases, when incidence of tumour ulceration was observed (welfare).

Results

J558 syngeneic tumours were highly aggressive and all the animals in the saline control group (n=10) had to be removed from studies by day 21 due to tumour size. The anti-STIM003 mIgG2a and the anti-PDL1 mIgG2a both demonstrated good efficacy as monotherapies in this model with 37.5% and 75% of the animals cured of disease, respectively. Importantly, combination of the two antibodies resulted in 100% of the animals having rejected the plasmacytoma tumours by day 37. Data are shown in FIG. 38.


Example 22: Administration of Anti-PD1 Increases ICOS Expression on TILs Significantly More than Anti-PD-L1 Antibody

A pharmacodynamic study was performed in animals harbouring established CT26 tumours to evaluate the effect of treatment with anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-1 antibodies on ICOS expression on subsets of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). The following antibodies were compared:

    • anti-PD-L1 AbW mIgG1 [limited effector function]
    • anti-PD-L1 AbW mIgG2a [with effector function]
    • anti-PD-L1 10F9.G2 rat IgG2b [with effector function]
    • anti-PD1 antibody RMT1-14 rat IgG2a [effector null].


Tumours of treated mice were isolated, dissociated to single cells and stained for CD45, CD3, CD4, CD8, FOXP3 and ICOS.


Materials & Methods

Rat anti-PD-1 RMP1-14 IgG2a (BioXCell; Catalog number: BE0146), rat anti-PD-L1 10F9.G2 IgG2b (Bio-Legend; Catalog number: 124325) and anti-PD-L1 AbW mIgG1 and mIgG2a were tested in the CT26 tumour model by dosing i.p. with 130 μg on days 13 and 15 post tumour cell implantation. On day 16, animals were culled and the mouse tumours were harvested for FACS analysis. Tumours were dissociated using a mouse tumour dissociation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and homogenised. The resulting cell suspensions were clarified through 70 μM filters, pelleted and resuspended in FACS buffer at 2 million cells/well in a 96 well plate. The cell suspensions were incubated with anti-16/32 mAb (eBioscience) and stained with FACS antibodies specific for CD3 (17A2), CD45 (30-F11), CD4 (RM4-5), CD8 (53-6.7) and ICOS (7E.17G9) all obtained from eBioscience Ltd. Cells were also stained with LiveDead Yellow fixable viability dye (Life technologies). For the Foxp3 intracellular staining, samples were fixed, permeabilised, and stained with antibody specific for Foxp3 (eBioscience, FJK-16s). The samples were resuspended in PBS and data acquired on the Attune flow cytometer (Invitrogen) and analysed using FlowJo V10 software (Treestar).


Results

Treatment with anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies only resulted in a marginal increase in the percentage on CD8 cells and T Regs expressing ICOS at the measured timepoint. However, in response to anti-PD1 rat IgG2a, a clear and significant (over the saline treated group) increase in ICOS expression (increased dMFI) was observed on the surface of ICOS+ve CD8 cells. ICOS expression was also noted to be upregulated on CD4 effector and CD4 T Reg cells although this did not reach statistical significance. This anti-PD1 antibody induced a marked increase in ICOS expression on CD8 effector cells that was barely seen with the anti-PD-L1 mIgG2a. Similarly, when comparing the different formats of anti-PD-L1 antibodies, in some of the animals treated it was observed that the antibody having the lowest effector function (mIgG1) was associated with higher ICOS expression on effector CD8 and CD4 cells when compared with antibody having effector function (mIgG2a and ratIgG2b), which rarely showed this. See FIG. 39.


An increase in ICOS expression on effector CD8/CD4 T cells may have the effect of rendering these cells more sensitive to depletion by anti-ICOS antibody (e.g., on treatment of mice with STIM003 mIgG2a). An antibody that exhibits lower ICOS induction in effector CD8 and CD4 T cells may be preferable for use in combination with anti-ICOS antibody. The data from this study indicate that anti-PD-L1 effector positive antibody may be especially suitable for combination with anti-ICOS effector positive antibody, reflecting the anti-tumour efficacy observed when combining anti-PDL1 mIgG2a with STIM003 mIgG2a reported in other Examples herein.


Example 23: Strong Anti-Tumour Efficacy of Single Dose Anti-ICOS Antibody Monotherapy In Vivo in a B Cell Lymphoma Syngeneic Model

This experiment confirms the anti-tumour efficacy of STIM003 mIgG2a as monotherapy. Strong anti-tumour efficacy was demonstrated after short exposure of STIM003 mIgG2a.


Materials & Methods

Efficacy studies were performed in BALB/c mice using the sub-cutaneous A20 Reticulum Cell Sarcoma model (ATCC number CRL-TIB-208). BALB/c mice were supplied by Charles River UK at 6-8 weeks of age and >18 g and housed under specific pathogen-free conditions. A total of 5×10E5 A20 cells (passage number below P20) were subcutaneously injected into the right flanks of mice. Treatments were initiated at day 8 post tumour cells injection as shown in the table below. The A20 cells were passaged in vitro by using TrypLE™ Express Enzyme (Thermofisher), washed twice in PBS and resuspended in RPMI supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum. Cell viability was confirmed to be above 85% at the time of tumour cell injection. STIM003 mIgG2a was used either as a single dose (SD) of 60 μg (equivalent to 3 mg/kg for a 20 g animal) or as multiple doses (MD, twice a week for 3 weeks) of 60 μg. Anti-tumour efficacy observed in response to the two schedules was compared to that of animals “treated” with saline (MD, twice a week for 3 weeks). The antibodies were dosed intraperitoneal (IP) as 1 mg/ml in 0.9% saline. Animal weight and tumour volume were measured 3 times a week from the day of tumour cell injection. Tumour volume was calculated by use of the modified ellipsoid formula ½(Length×Width2). Mice were kept on study until their tumour reached an average diameter of 12 mm or, rarely, when incidence of tumour ulceration was observed (welfare).

Results

Both multiple and single dose of STIM003 mIgG2a resulted in strong and significant monotherapy anti-tumour efficacy as shown by the number of animals with no signs of tumour growth at endpoint (Day 41). SD resulted in 7 our 10 animals cured from the disease whereas the multiple dose cured 9 out of 10 animals injected with A20 B cell lymphoblast. All animals in the saline treated group had to be removed from the study by day 40 due to tumour size. See FIG. 40.


Humane endpoint survival statistics were calculated from the Kaplan-Meier curves (FIG. 41) using GraphPad Prism V7.0. This approach was used to determine if the treatments were associated with improved survival.

Example 24: Time and Dose Dependent Effects of Anti-ICOS Antibody in CT-26 Tumour Bearing Animals

This Example presents the results of a pharmacodynamic study evaluating the effects of anti-ICOS antibody on immune cells in mice bearing CT-26 tumours. T and B cell subtypes from different tissues were analysed by FACS after a single dose of STIM003 mIgG2a.


Methods

CT-26 tumour bearing animals were dosed i.p. with either saline or STIM003 at 200 μg, 60 μg or 6 μg on day 12 post tumour cell implantation. Tumour tissues, blood, tumour draining lymph node (TDLN) and spleen were harvested on day 1, 2, 3, 4, and day 8 post treatment. The tumours were dissociated to make single cell suspension using mouse tumour dissociation kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Spleen tissue was dissociated using gentle MACS dissociation, red blood cells were lysed using RBC lysis buffer. Tumour draining lymph nodes were mechanically disaggregated to make single cells suspensions. The resulting cell suspensions were clarified through either 70 μM or 40 μM filters depending on the tissue, cells were then washed twice in RMPI complete media and finally resuspended in ice cold FACS buffer. Total blood was collected into plasma tubes and red blood cells were lysed using RBC lysis buffer, cells were washed twice in RMPI complete media and finally resuspended in ice cold FACS buffer. The single cell suspension from all the tissues were distributed into 96 deep well plates for FACS analysis. Cells were stained with Live Dead Fixable Yellow viability dye (Life technologies). The cell suspensions were incubated with anti-CD16/CD32 mAb (eBioscience) and stained with FACS antibodies specific for CD3 (17A2), CD45 (30-F11), CD4 (RM4-5), CD8 (53-6.7), CD25 (PC61.5), ICOSL (HK5.3), B220 (RA3-6B2), Ki-67 (SolA15), CD107a (eBio1D4B), IFN-γ (XMG1.2), TNF-α (MP6-XT22), Foxp3 (FJK-16s) and ICOS (7E.17G9) all obtained from eBioscience Ltd. For cytokine readout by FACS, single cells suspensions from the tumours were plated in 24 well plate for 4 hours in the presence of Brefeldin-A. For the intracellular staining, samples were fixed, permeabilised, and stained with specific antibodies. The samples were finally resuspended in PBS and data acquired on the Attune flow cytometer (Invitrogen) and analysed using FlowJo V10 software (Treestar).


Results are presented and discussed below.


ICOS Expression is High on Intra-Tumoral T-Regs in the CT26 Model

When the percentage of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) expressing ICOS was compared to the percentage of immune cells in the spleen, blood, and TDLN, we demonstrated that more immune cells in the microenvironment of CT-26 tumours expressed ICOS vs other tissues. More importantly, the percentage of ICOS positive T-reg cells in all the tissues and at all the time points was higher than the percentage of CD4 or CD8 effector T cells positive for ICOS. Importantly, the dMFI (relative expression) for ICOS also followed the similar ranking in expression with intra-tumoural T-reg being highly positive for ICOS expression vs other TILs subtypes. Interestingly, there was no striking change in the percentage of ICOS+ TILs within the time frame of this experiment. Similar results were also seen in spleen and TDLN. On the other hand, in the blood, ICOS expression is relatively stable on T effector cells but increased on T-regs during the course of the experiment. Altogether the data demonstrated that more cells expressed ICOS in the tumour microenvironment and these positive cells also expressed more ICOS molecules on their surface. More importantly, T regs in TILs are highly positive for ICOS. See FIG. 42.


Strong Depletion of Intra-Tumoural T-Reg Cells in Response to ST/M003 Administration

In response to the STIM003 mIgG2a antibody, there was strong and rapid depletion of T-reg cells (CD4+CD25+Foxp3) in TME. As T-regs have high ICOS expression compared with the other T cells subsets, it is expected that an anti-ICOS antibody with effector function would preferentially deplete these cells. At the lower dose of STIM003 (6 μg corresponding to a 0.3 mg/kg for a 20 g animal) there was a continuous depletion of T-reg and by day 3 most of the T-reg were depleted from TME. Interestingly, by day 8, T-reg cells repopulate the TME then reach a level slightly above that observed in the saline treated animals. The repopulation of T-reg cells at lower dose can be attributed to the increase in the proliferating CD4 T cells in TME as evidenced by an observed increase in Ki-67+ CD4 T-cells. At a dose higher than 6 μg there was a long-term depletion of T-reg cells in TME as shown by full T Reg depletion until the last time point analysed in this study (day 8). Whereas in the blood there was a transient depletion of T-reg cells at all doses. Importantly, by day 8, all the treated animals had similar (or higher for the 6 μg dose) level of T-reg cells in the blood when compared to the saline treated animals. Data are shown in FIG. 43. Notably, and similarly to data previously published for depleting CTLA-4 antibodies, there was no significant change in the percentage of T-reg cells in the spleen or TDLN tissues, suggesting that T-reg cells may be protected from depletion in these organs.


In summary, strong depletion of T-reg cells in TME was achieved in CT-26 model at a dose as low as 6 μg per animal. However, a dose of 60 μg resulted in long term depletion up to 8 days post STIM003 mIgG2a injection. This was not improved by using higher dose (200 μg).


STIM003 mIgG2a Increased CD8:T Reg and CD4:T Reg Ratios


Effects of STIM003 on T-eff:T-reg ratios are shown in FIG. 44.


STIM003 mIgG2a increased the CD8:T-reg ratio as well as the CD4 eff:T-reg ratio. Although all the treatment doses were associated with an increase in T-eff to T-reg ratio, the intermediate dose of 60 μg (the equivalent of 3 mg/kg for a 20 g animals) was associated with the highest ratio by day 8 post treatment.


Interestingly, at the 6 μg dose, the ratios were high until day 4 but by day 8 post treatment they were matching that of the saline treated animals. This can be explained by the repopulation of TRegs observed for this dose by day 8 post treatment. On the other hand, at a dose of 60 or 200 μg, the Teff to T-reg ratios remained high at all time points. This is explained by a long term depeletion of Tregs at these doses. Notably, at higher dose (200 μg), despite the long term Treg depletion there was only a moderate improvement in the ratio by day 8. This can be explained by some depletion of ICOSINT effector cells at high concentration of STIM003.


Altogether, the data demonstrated TReg depletion and increased Effector:T reg ratio at all doses tested. However, an optimal dose of 60 μg (˜3 mg/kg) achieved both a long-term depletion of T-reg, as well as the highest T-eff to T-reg ratios which would be associated with the most favourable immune context to initiate an anti-tumour immune response. Interestingly a similar pattern was observed in the blood, with the intermediate dose of 60 μg associated with the highest T-eff to T-reg ratio. Importantly, in the blood, improvement of the ratio was observed at an earlier time point (between day 3 and day 4).


Activation of Effector Cells in Response to STIM003

Surface expression of CD107a on the tumour infiltrating T effector cells was previously identified as a reliable marker for cells that have been activated and exert cytotoxic activity [44]. In the present study employed this marker to confirm that STIM003, in addition to depleting T-regs, can stimulate the cytotoxic activity of effector T cells in the TME. Interestingly, on day 8 post treatment, there was an increase in surface expression of CD107a on both the CD4 and CD8 effector T cell compartments at all doses of STIM003. Furthermore, this upregulation of CD107a expression on the surface on both CD4 and CD8 T cells appeared to plateau when animals were dosed at 60 μg as no improvement was seen at 200 μg dosing.


To further demonstrate activation of effector cells in the TME, the cytokine release by CD4 and CD8 TILs was analysed by FACS. As expected and consistent with the in-vitro agonism data presented in earlier Examples herein, STIM003 mIgG2a at all doses promoted pro-inflammatory cytokine IFN-γ and TNF-α production by effector CD4 and CD8 T cells. The induction of pro-inflammatory cytokine production appeared to be high at the optimum dose of 60 μg. Indeed, 60 μg of STIM003 significantly increased cytokine production by CD4 T cells. A similar trend was seen for the proinflammatory cytokine IFN-γ and TNF-α production by effector CD8 T cells in TME. Data are shown in FIG. 45.


In summary, STIM003 at all the doses resulted in T cells activation in the TME as shown by (1) the presence of the degranulation marker CD107a on their surface and (2) by the production of Th1 cytokines (IFNγ and TNFα) by T cells. This indicates that STIM003 strongly affects the immune context in the TME and plays the dual role of depleting Treg cells and stimulate the killing activity of T effector cells.


Human Dose Estimations

Based on the pre-clinical efficacy data seen in mice, initial predictions can be made of the clinical dose appropriate for human patients, based on corresponding biological surface area (BSA) [45].


For example, taking the optimal anti-ICOS IgG dose in mouse to be 3 mg/kg (60 μg), and following the methods of ref. [45], the corresponding dose for a human is 0.25 mg/kg.


Using the Mosteller formulae, for an individual of 60 kg and 1.70 m the BSA 1.68 m2. Multiplying the dose in mg/kg by a factor of 35.7 (60/1.68) gives a fixed dose of 15 mg. For an individual of 80 kg the corresponding fixed dose would be 20 mg.


Doses may be optimised for human therapy in clinical trials to determine safe and effective treatment regimens.


Example 25: Bioinformatic Analysis of Data from Tumour Samples

One target group of cancers according to the present invention is those cancers that are associated with a relatively high level of ICOS+ immunosuppressive Tregs.


To identify cancer types associated with a high content of Tregs, transcriptome data was obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) public dataset and analysed for ICOS and FOXP3 expression levels. TOGA is a large-scale study that has catalogued genomic and transcriptomic data accumulated for many different types of cancers, and includes mutations, copy number variation, mRNA and miRNA gene expression, and DNA methylation along with substantial sample metadata.


Gene Set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted as follows. Gene expression RNA seq data collected as part of the TOGA consortium was downloaded from the UCSC Xena Functional Genomics Browser as log 2(normalized_count+1). Non-tumour tissue samples were removed from the dataset, leaving data for 20530 genes from 9732 samples. An algorithm from [46] and its implementation in [47] that calculates enrichment scores for genes within a specified gene set was used to transpose gene level counts to gene set scores for each sample. The gene set of interest was defined as containing both ICOS and FOXP3. Samples were grouped by primary disease and the ssGSEA scores for each group were compared across the 33 primary disease groups. The disease groups that showed the highest median scores were found to be lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large b-cell lymphoma, thymoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, although diffuse large b-cell lymphoma showed a multimodal distribution of scores with a subset scoring highly and the rest scoring below the group median.


In rank order of highest to lowest ssGSEA score for ICOS and FOXP3 expression, the top 15 cancer types were:















DLBC (n = 48)
lymphoid neoplasm diffuse large b-cell lymphoma


THYM (n = 120)
thymoma


HNSC (n = 522)
head and neck squamous cell carcinoma


TGCT (n = 156)

SKCM (n = 473)
skin cutaneous melanoma


CESC (n = 305)

LUAD (n = 517)

LAML (n = 173)

LUSC (n = 502)
lung squamous cell carcinoma


READ (n = 95)
rectum adenocarcinoma


COAD (n = 288)
colon adenocarcinoma


BRCA (n = 1104)
breast invasive carcinoma


LIHC (n = 373)
liver hepatocellular carcinoma









In which n is the number of patient samples for that cancer type in TCGA dataset. Anti-ICOS antibodies described herein may be used for treatment of these and other cancers.


Cancers that are associated with a relatively high level of ICOS+ immunosuppressive Tregs and which further express PD-L1 may respond especially well to treatment with a combination of anti-ICOS antibody and anti-PD-L1 antibody. Appropriate treatment regiments and antibodies for this purpose have already been detailed in the foregoing description.


Using the TCGA dataset as before, enrichment scores for ICOS and FOXP3 were correlated with expression levels of PD-L1 using Spearman's rank correlation and grouped by primary disease indication. P-values were calculated for each group and a p-value of 0.05 (with Bonferroni's multiple comparison correction) was taken as statistically significant. The disease groups with the highest correlations between ICOS/FOXP3 and PD-L1 expression were:















TGCT (n = 156)
testicular germ cell tumour


COAD (n = 288)
colon adenocarcinoma


READ (n = 95)
rectum adenocarcinoma


BLCA (n = 407)
bladder urothelial carcinoma


OV (n = 308)
ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma


BRCA (n = 1104)
breast invasive carcinoma


SKCM (n = 473)
skin cutaneous melanoma


CESC (n = 305)
cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical



adenocarcinoma


STAD (n = 415)
stomach adenocarcinoma


LUAD (n = 517)
lung adenocarcinoma









Patients may be selected for treatment following an assay determining that their cancer is associated with ICOS+ immunosuppressive Tregs and expression of PD-L1. For cancer types in which, as above, there is a high correlation score, it may suffice to determine that one of ICOS+ immunosuppressive Tregs and expression of PD-L1 is present (e.g., above a threshold value). PD-L1 immunohistochemistry assays may be used in this context.


Example 26: Assessment of Further Anti-ICOS Antibodies

CL-74570 and CL-61091 antibody sequences identified in Example 12 were synthesised and expressed in IgG1 format in HEK cells.


Functional characterisation of these antibodies was performed using an HTRF assay similar to that described in Example 6, with modifications to adapt the assay to use of purified IgG1 rather than BCT supernatant. 5 μL of supernatant containing human IgG1 antibodies expressed from HEK cells was used in place of the BCT supernatant, and the total volume made up to 20 μl per well using HTRF buffer as before. A human IgG1 antibody was used as a negative control. Both antibodies exhibited greater than 5% effect for binding to human and mouse ICOS as calculated using Equation 1 and were therefore confirmed to test positive in this assay.


Ability of these antibodies to bind human and mouse ICOS expressed on the surface of CHO-S cells was further confirmed using a Mirrorball assay. In this assay, 5 μl supernatant containing the anti-ICOS IgG1 was transferred to each well of 384 mirrorball black plates (Corning). Binding of anti-ICOS antibodies was detected by adding 10 μl of goat anti-human 488 (Jackson Immunoresearch) diluted in assay buffer (PBS+1% BSA+0.1% Sodium Azide) at a concentration of 0.8 mg/ml to all wells.


For positive control wells, 5 μL reference antibody diluted in assay media to 2.2 μg/mL was added to the plates. For negative control wells, 5 μl of Hybrid control IgG1 diluted in assay media to 2.2 μg/mL was added to the plates. 10 μM of DRAQS (Thermoscientific) was added to 0.4×106/ml cells resuspended in assay buffer and 5 μl was added to all wells. Plates were incubated for 2 hr at 4 degrees.


Fluorescence intensity was measured using Mirrorball plate reader (TTP Labtech), measuring Alexafluor 488 (excitation 493 nm, emission 519 nm) from a population of 500-700 single cells. Assay signal was measured as Median (FL2) Mean Intensity.


Total binding was defined using reference antibody at an assay concentration of 2.2 μg/mL. Non-specific binding was defined using Hybrid control hIgG1 at an assay concentration of 2.22 μg/mL. Both antibodies exhibited greater than 1 percent effect and were therefore confirmed to test positive in this assay.

Each of CL-74570 and CL-61091 also demonstrated binding to human and mouse ICOS expressed on CHO-S cells as determined by flow cytometry. FACS screening was performed using a method similar to that described in Example 6, with modifications to adapt the assay to use of purified IgG1 rather than BCT supernatant. Both antibodies exhibited binding>10 fold above the average of geomean of the negative control binding to hICOS, mICOS and WT CHO cells.
