1. INTRODUCTION

Compositions and methods are described for the delivery of a fully human post-translationally modified (HuPTM) therapeutic monoclonal antibody (“mAb”) or the HuPTM antigen-binding fragment of a therapeutic mAb—e.g., a fully human-glycosylated (HuGly) Fab of the therapeutic mAb—to a human subject diagnosed with a disease or condition indicated for treatment with the therapeutic mAb.


2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Therapeutic mAbs have been shown to be effective in treating a number of diseases and conditions. However, because these agents are effective for only a short period of time, repeated injections for long durations are often required, thereby creating considerable treatment burden for patients.


3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Compositions and methods are described for the delivery of a HuPTM mAb or a HuPTM antigen-binding fragment of a therapeutic mAb (for example, a fully human-glycosylated Fab (HuGlyFab) of a therapeutic mAb) to a patient (human subject) diagnosed with a disease or condition indicated for treatment with the therapeutic mAb. Such antigen-binding fragments of therapeutic mAbs include a Fab, F(ab′)2, or scFv (single-chain variable fragment) (collectively referred to herein as “antigen-binding fragment”). “HuPTM Fab” as used herein may include other antigen binding fragments of a mAb. In an alternative embodiment, full-length mAbs can be used. Delivery may be advantageously accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding a therapeutic mAb or its antigen-binding fragment (or a hyperglycosylated derivative of either) to a patient (human subject) diagnosed with a condition indicated for treatment with the therapeutic mAb—to create a permanent depot in a tissue or organ of the patient that continuously supplies the HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment of the therapeutic mAb, e.g., a human-glycosylated transgene product, to a target tissue where the mAb or antigen-binding fragment there of exerts its therapeutic effect.

The recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene includes non-replicating recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors (“rAAV”). However, other viral vectors may be used, including but not limited to lentiviral vectors; vaccinia viral vectors, or non-viral expression vectors referred to as “naked DNA” constructs. Expression of the transgene can be controlled by constitutive or tissue-specific expression control elements.


Gene therapy constructs are designed such that both the heavy and light chains are expressed. The coding sequences for the heavy and light chains can be engineered in a single construct in which the heavy and light chains are separated by a cleavable linker or IRES so that separate heavy and light chain polypeptides are expressed. In certain embodiments, the coding sequences encode for a Fab or F(ab′)2 or an scFv. In certain embodiments the full length heavy and light chains of the antibody are expressed. In other embodiments, the constructs express an scFv in which the heavy and light chain variable domains are connected via a flexible, non-cleavable linker. In certain embodiments, the construct expresses, from the N-terminus, NH2—VL-linker-VH—COOH or NH2—VH-linker-VL—COOH.


Therapeutic antibodies delivered by gene therapy have several advantages over injected or infused therapeutic antibodies that dissipate over time resulting in peak and trough levels. Sustained expression of the transgene product antibody, as opposed to injecting an antibody repeatedly, allows for a more consistent level of antibody to be present at the site of action, and is less risky and more convenient for patients, since fewer injections need to be made. Furthermore, antibodies expressed from transgenes are post-translationally modified in a different manner than those that are directly injected because of the different microenvironment present during and after translation. Without being bound by any particular theory, this results in antibodies that have different diffusion, bioactivity, distribution, affinity, pharmacokinetic, and immunogenicity characteristics, such that the antibodies delivered to the site of action are “biobetters” in comparison with directly injected antibodies.


In addition, antibodies expressed from transgenes in vivo are not likely to contain degradation products associated with antibodies produced by recombinant technologies, such as protein aggregation and protein oxidation. Aggregation is an issue associated with protein production and storage due to high protein concentration, surface interaction with manufacturing equipment and containers, and purification with certain buffer systems. These conditions, which promote aggregation, do not exist in transgene expression in gene therapy. Oxidation, such as methionine, tryptophan, and histidine oxidation, is also associated with protein production and storage, and is caused by stressed cell culture conditions, metal and air contact, and impurities in buffers and excipients. The proteins expressed from transgenes in vivo may also oxidize in a stressed condition. However, humans, and many other organisms, are equipped with an antioxidation defense system, which not only reduces the oxidation stress, but sometimes also repairs and/or reverses the oxidation. Thus, proteins produced in vivo are not likely to be in an oxidized form. Both aggregation and oxidation could affect the potency, pharmacokinetics (clearance), and immunogenicity.


Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration to human subjects comprise a suspension of the recombinant vector in a formulation buffer comprising a physiologically compatible aqueous buffer, a surfactant and optional excipients.


The invention is based, in part, on the following principles:

    • (i) The mAb therapeutics currently on the market are of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) isotypes, such as IgG1, IgG2, and IgG4, which in general have pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics, such as slow clearance, long half-life, and limited tissue distribution. After intravenous administration, typical mAb serum PK profiles are biphasic with a rapid distribution phase and a slower elimination phase; thus, repeat administration is required to maintain doses required to treat chronic conditions. Moreover, the distribution of mAbs is generally limited to the vascular and interstitial spaces due to their large size and hydrophilicity. The extent of mAb partitioning from circulation into most tissues generally ranges from about 5-15%, except for brain where it is much lower. (See, e.g., Kamath, 2016, Drug Discovery Today: Technologies 21-22: 75-83, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Continuous production of HuPTMmAbs or HuPTM Fabs in situ avoids repeat administrations and allows the use of Fabs, which would otherwise have too short a systemic half-life to achieve efficacy; and the methods of administration described allow direct access to target tissues, such as the brain, where the delivery of higher doses to such tissues can be achieved.
    • (ii) The Fab region of a number of therapeutic mAbs possesses glycosylation sites. For example, see FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F which identify consensus and non-consensus asparaginal (“N”) glycosylation sites as well as glutamine (“Q”) residues that are glycosylation sites in the Fab region of certain therapeutic mAbs. (See, e.g., Valliere-Douglass et al., 2009, J. Biol. Chem. 284: 32493-32506, and Valliere-Douglass et al., 2010, J. Biol. Chem. 285: 16012-16022, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for the identification of N-linked glycosylation sites in antibodies). In addition, O-glycosylation comprises the addition of N-acetyl-galactosamine to serine or threonine residues by the enzyme. It has been demonstrated that amino acid residues present in the hinge region of antibodies can be O-glycosylated. The possibility of O-glycosylation confers another advantage to the therapeutic antibodies provided herein, as compared to, e.g., antigen-binding fragments produced in E. coli, again because the E. coli naturally does not contain machinery equivalent to that used in human O-glycosylation. (Instead, O-glycosylation in E. coli has been demonstrated only when the bacteria are modified to contain specific O-glycosylation machinery. See, e.g., Farid-Moayer et al., 2007, J. Bacteriol. 189:8088-8098.) Moreover, the Fab amino acid sequence may be modified to engineer hyperglycosylated variants (e.g., see amino acid substitutions that can be made to engineer hyperglycosylated Fab regions of therapeutic antibodies shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B; and Courtois et al., 2016, mAbs 8: 99-112 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for it description of derivatives of antibodies that are hyperglycosylated on the Fab domain of the full-length antibody).
    • (iii) In addition to the glycosylation sites, the Fab regions can contain tyrosine (“Y”) sulfation sites in or near the CDRs; see FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F which identify tyrosine-O-sulfation sites in the Fab region of certain therapeutic mAbs. (See, e.g., Yang et al., 2015, Molecules 20:2138-2164 (particularly at 2154), which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for the analysis of amino acids surrounding tyrosine residues subjected to protein tyrosine sulfation). The “rules” can be summarized as follows: Y residues with E or D within +5 to −5 position of Y, and where position −1 of Y is a neutral or acidic charged amino acid—but not a basic amino acid, e.g., R, K, or H that abolishes sulfation.
    • (iv) The glycosylation of Fab regions, such as those shown in FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F and Fc regions (see FIG. 22 and Table 7) by human cells will result in the addition of glycans that can improve stability, half-life and reduce unwanted aggregation and/or immunogenicity of the transgene product. (See, e.g., Bovenkamp et al., 2016, J. Immunol. 196: 1435-1441 for a review of the emerging importance of Fab glycosylation; and FIG. 22 which identifies glycans that can be attached to HuGlyFab (adapted from Bondt et al., 2014, Mol & Cell Proteomics 13.1: 3029-2029)). The Fab and Fc portions of antibodies have been shown to have distinct glycosylation patterns, with Fab glycans being high in galactosylation, sialylation, and bisection (e.g., with bisecting GlcNAc) but low in fucosylation with respect to Fc glycans. (E.g., see Bondt et al., 2014, Mol. & Cell. Proteomics 13.11:3029-3039, incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for its disclosure of Fab-associated N-glycans).
    • (v) Significantly, glycans that are added to HuPTM mAb and HuGlyFab of the invention are highly processed complex-type N-glycans that contain 2,6-sialic acid. Such glycans are not present in (a) therapeutic mAbs produced in E. coli (which are not glycosylated at all); (b) in therapeutic antibodies produced in CHO cells that do not have the 2,6-sialyltransferase required to add 2,6-sialic acid during glycosylation; or (c) in therapeutic antibodies produced in either CHO or murine cell lines that add N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (“Neu5Gc” or “NeuGc”) which is not natural to humans (and potentially immunogenic), instead of N-Acetylneuraminic acid (“Neu5Ac”) the predominant human sialic acid. See, e.g., Dumont et al., 2015, Crit. Rev. Biotechnol. 36(6):1110-1122; Huang et al., 2006, Anal. Biochem. 349:197-207 (NeuGc is the predominant sialic acid in murine cell lines such as SP2/0 and NS0); and Song et al., 2014, Anal. Chem. 86:5661-5666, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
    • (vi) The human glycosylation pattern of the HuPTM mAb and HuGlyFab of the invention should reduce immunogenicity of the transgene product and improve efficacy. Importantly, when the full-length antibodies and antigen-binding fragments, used in accordance with the methods described herein are expressed in human target cells, the need for in vitro production in prokaryotic host cells (e.g., E. coli) or eukaryotic host cells (e.g., CHO cells or murine NS0 or SP2/0 cells) is circumvented. Instead, as a result of the methods described herein (e.g., use of human target cells to express the antigen-binding fragments), N-glycosylation sites of the full-length antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are advantageously decorated with glycans relevant to and beneficial to treatment of humans. Such an advantage is unattainable when CHO cells, murine cells, or E. coli are utilized in antibody/antigen-binding fragment production, because, e.g., (a) CHO cells lack components needed for addition of certain glycans (e.g., 2,6 sialic acid and bisecting GlcNAc); (b) CHO cells and murine cells (NS0 and SP2/0 cells) add Neu5Gc as sialic acid not typical to humans instead of Neu5Ac; (c) CHO cells can also produce an immunogenic glycan, the α-Gal antigen, which reacts with anti-α-Gal antibodies present in most individuals, which at high concentrations can trigger anaphylaxis (see, e.g., Bosques, 2010, Nat Biotech 28:1153-1156); and (d) E. coli does not naturally contain components needed for N-glycosylation.
    • (vii) Tyrosine-sulfation of Fab regions, such as those shown in FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F—a robust post-translational process in many human cells—should result in transgene products with increased avidity for their molecular targets. Indeed, tyrosine-sulfation of the Fab of antibodies has been shown to dramatically increase avidity for antigen and activity. (See, e.g., Loos et al., 2015, PNAS 112: 12675-12680, and Choe et al., 2003, Cell 114: 161-170). Such post-translational modifications are not present on therapeutic antibodies made in E. coli (a host that does not possess the enzymes required for tyrosine-sulfation), and at best are under-represented in therapeutic mAbs made in CHO cells. CHO cells are not secretory cells and have a limited capacity for post-translational tyrosine-sulfation. (See, e.g., Mikkelsen & Ezban, 1991, Biochemistry 30: 1533-1537, especially discussion at p. 1537).


For the foregoing reasons, the production of HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of disease accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding a full-length HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab of a therapeutic mAb to a patient (human subject) diagnosed with a disease indication for that mAb, to create a permanent depot in the subject that continuously supplies the human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by the subject's transduced cells. The cDNA construct for the HuPTMmAb or HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced human cells.


As an alternative, or an additional treatment to gene therapy, the full-length HuTPM mAb or HuPTM Fab can be produced in human cell lines by recombinant DNA technology, and the glycoprotein can be administered to patients.


Combination therapies involving delivery of the full-length HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab to the patient accompanied by administration of other available treatments are encompassed by the methods provided herein. The additional treatments may be administered before, concurrently or subsequent to the gene therapy treatment. Such additional treatments can include but are not limited to co-therapy with the therapeutic mAb.


Also provided are methods of manufacturing the viral vectors, particularly the AAV based viral vectors. In specific embodiments, provided are methods of producing recombinant AAVs comprising culturing a host cell containing an artificial genome comprising a cis expression cassette flanked by AAV ITRs, wherein the cis expression cassette comprises a transgene encoding a therapeutic antibody operably linked to expression control elements that will control expression of the transgene in human cells; a trans expression cassette lacking AAV ITRs, wherein the trans expression cassette encodes an AAV rep and capsid protein operably linked to expression control elements that drive expression of the AAV rep and capsid proteins in the host cell in culture and supply the rep and cap proteins in trans; sufficient adenovirus helper functions to permit replication and packaging of the artificial genome by the AAV capsid proteins; and recovering recombinant AAV encapsidating the artificial genome from the cell culture.


The inventors have also found that full length antibodies can be expressed from AAV based vectors (see Examples 36 and 37). The nucleotide sequence encoding the heavy and light chains of the full-length antibodies may be codon optimized for expression in human cells and may have reduced numbers of CpG dimers in the sequence. Accordingly, provided are compositions comprising AAV vectors that express a transgene encoding a full-length heavy chain (including an Fc domain) and light chain of a therapeutic antibody. Methods of administration and manufacture are also provided.

5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Compositions and methods are described for the delivery of a fully human post-translationally modified (HuPTM) therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) or a HuPTM antigen-binding fragment of a therapeutic mAb (for example, a fully human-glycosylated Fab (HuGlyFab) of a therapeutic mAb) to a patient (human subject) diagnosed with a disease or condition indicated for treatment with the therapeutic mAb. Delivery may be advantageously accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding a therapeutic mAb or its antigen-binding fragment (or a hyperglycosylated derivative of either) to a patient (human subject) diagnosed with a condition indicated for treatment with the therapeutic mAb—to create a permanent depot in a tissue or organ of the patient that continuously supplies the HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment of the therapeutic mAb, e.g., a human-glycosylated transgene product, to a target tissue where the mAb or antigen-binding fragment there of exerts its therapeutic effect.


The HuPTM mAb or HuPTM antigen-binding fragment encoded by the transgene can include, but is not limited to, a full-length or an antigen-binding fragment of a therapeutic antibody that binds to:

    • Nervous system targets, including amyloid beta (Aβ or Abeta) peptides, sortilin, tau protein, SEMA4D, alpha-synuclein, and CGRP receptor,
    • Ocular Targets including VEGF, EpoR, ALK1, endoglin, complement component 5, and complement component 1Q,
    • Repulsive guidance molecule-A
    • Transthyretin
    • Connective Tissue Growth Factor
    • Neuromyelitis optica (NMO)/non-infectious uveitis targets and immune response targets, including interleukin 6 receptor, interleukin 6, and CD19
    • Integrin beta 7
    • Sclerostin
    • TNF-alpha, and
    • Plasma Protein Targets, such as human complement proteins, including plasma kallikrein,
    • Autoimmune, respiratory, and allergic disease targets, such as interleukin and interleukin receptors, including IL5, IL5R, IL13, and IL31RA, immunoglobulin E, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin


      or such mAbs or antigen-binding fragments engineered to contain additional glycosylation sites on the Fab domain (e.g., see Courtois et al., 2016, mAbs 8: 99-112 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for its description of derivatives of antibodies that are hyperglycosylated on the Fab domain of the full-length antibody). The amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chains of antigen binding fragments of the foregoing are provided in Table 5, infra, and nucleotide sequences, including codon optimized versions, encoding the heavy and light chains of these antigen binding fragments are provided in Table 6


The recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene includes non-replicating recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors (“rAAV”) rAAVs are particularly attractive vectors for a number of reasons—they can transduce non-replicating cells, and therefore, can be used to deliver the transgene to tissues where cell division occurs at low levels, such as the CNS; they can be modified to preferentially target a specific organ of choice; and there are hundreds of capsid serotypes to choose from to obtain the desired tissue specificity, and/or to avoid neutralization by pre-existing patient antibodies to some AAVs. Such rAAVs include but are not limited to AAV based vectors comprising capsid components from one or more of AAV1, AAV2, AAV2.m78, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAV10, AAV11, AAVrh10 or AAVrh20. In certain embodiments, AAV based vectors provided herein comprise capsids from one or more of AAV8, AAV9, AAV10, AAV11, AAVrh10 or AAVrh20 serotypes.


However, other viral vectors may be used, including but not limited to lentiviral vectors; vaccinia viral vectors, or non-viral expression vectors referred to as “naked DNA” constructs. Expression of the transgene can be controlled by constitutive or tissue-specific expression control elements.


Gene therapy constructs are designed such that both the heavy and light chains are expressed. More specifically, the heavy and light chains should be expressed at about equal amounts, in other words, the heavy and light chains are expressed at approximately a 1:1 ratio of heavy chains to light chains. The coding sequences for the heavy and light chains can be engineered in a single construct in which the heavy and light chains are separated by a cleavable linker or IRES so that separate heavy and light chain polypeptides are expressed. In certain embodiments, the coding sequences encode for a Fab or F(ab′)2 or an scFv.


In certain embodiments, nucleic acids (e.g., polynucleotides) and nucleic acid sequences disclosed herein may be codon-optimized, for example, via any codon-optimization technique known to one of skill in the art (see, e.g., review by Quax et al., 2015, Mol Cell 59:149-161) and may also be optimized to reduce CpG dimers. Nucleotide sequences of the heavy and light chain variable domains of the therapeutic antibodies, which may be codon optimized, are disclosed in Table 6. Each heavy and light chain requires a leader to ensure proper post-translation processing and secretion (unless expressed as an scFv, in which only the N-terminal chain requires a leader sequence). Useful leader sequences for the expression of the heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibodies in human cells are disclosed herein. An exemplary recombinant expression construct is shown in FIG. 1 and in FIG. 24A.


The production of HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab (including an HuPTM scFv) should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of disease accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding a full-length HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab or other antigen binding fragment, such as an scFv, of a therapeutic mAb to a patient (human subject) diagnosed with a disease indication for that mAb, to create a permanent depot in the subject that continuously supplies the human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by the subject's transduced cells. The cDNA construct for the HuPTMmAb or HuPTM Fab or HuPTM scFv should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced human cells.


Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration to human subjects comprise a suspension of the recombinant vector in a formulation buffer comprising a physiologically compatible aqueous buffer, a surfactant and optional excipients. Such formulation buffer can comprise one or more of a polysaccharide, a surfactant, polymer, or oil.


As an alternative, or an additional treatment to gene therapy, the full-length HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab or other antigen binding fragment thereof can be produced in human cell lines by recombinant DNA technology, and the glycoprotein can be administered to patients. Human cell lines that can be used for such recombinant glycoprotein production include but are not limited to human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK293), fibrosarcoma HT-1080, HKB-11, CAP, HuH-7, and retinal cell lines, PER.C6, or RPE to name a few (e.g., see Dumont et al., 2015, Crit. Rev. Biotechnol. 36(6):1110-1122, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for a review of the human cell lines that could be used for the recombinant production of the HuPTM mAb, HuPTM Fab or HuPTM scFv product, e.g., HuPTM Fab glycoprotein). To ensure complete glycosylation, especially sialylation, and tyrosine-sulfation, the cell line used for production can be enhanced by engineering the host cells to co-express α-2,6-sialyltransferase (or both α-2,3- and α-2,6-sialyltransferases) and/or TPST-1 and TPST-2 enzymes responsible for tyrosine-O-sulfation in human cells.


It is not essential that every molecule produced either in the gene therapy or protein therapy approach be fully glycosylated and sulfated. Rather, the population of glycoproteins produced should have sufficient glycosylation (including 2,6-sialylation) and sulfation to demonstrate efficacy. The goal of gene therapy treatment of the invention is to slow or arrest the progression of disease.


Combination therapies involving delivery of the full-length HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab or antigen binding fragment thereof to the patient accompanied by administration of other available treatments are encompassed by the methods of the invention. The additional treatments may be administered before, concurrently or subsequent to the gene therapy treatment. Such additional treatments can include but are not limited to co-therapy with the therapeutic mAb.


Also provided are methods of manufacturing the viral vectors, particularly the AAV based viral vectors. In specific embodiments, provided are methods of producing recombinant AAVs comprising culturing a host cell containing an artificial genome comprising a cis expression cassette flanked by AAV ITRs, wherein the cis expression cassette comprises a transgene encoding a therapeutic antibody operably linked to expression control elements that will control expression of the transgene in human cells; a trans expression cassette lacking AAV ITRs, wherein the trans expression cassette encodes an AAV rep and capsid protein operably linked to expression control elements that drive expression of the AAV rep and capsid proteins in the host cell in culture and supply the rep and cap proteins in trans; sufficient adenovirus helper functions to permit replication and packaging of the artificial genome by the AAV capsid proteins; and recovering recombinant AAV encapsidating the artificial genome from the cell culture.

The viral vectors and other DNA expression constructs provided herein include any suitable method for delivery of a transgene to a target cell. The means of delivery of a transgene include viral vectors, liposomes, other lipid-containing complexes, other macromolecular complexes, synthetic modified mRNA, unmodified mRNA, small molecules, non-biologically active molecules (e.g., gold particles), polymerized molecules (e.g., dendrimers), naked DNA, plasmids, phages, transposons, cosmids, or episomes. In some embodiments, the vector is a targeted vector, e.g., a vector targeted to retinal pigment epithelial cells, CNS cells, muscle cells, or liver cells.

Methods for producing and using pseudotyped rAAV particles are known in the art (see, e.g., Duan et al., J. Virol., 75:7662-7671 (2001); Halbert et al., J. Virol., 74:1524-1532 (2000); Zolotukhin et al., Methods 28:158-167 (2002); and Auricchio et al., Hum. Molec. Genet. 10:3075-3081, (2001).


AAV8-based, AAV9-based, and AAVrh10-based viral vectors are used in certain of the methods described herein. Nucleotide sequences of AAV based viral vectors and methods of making recombinant AAV and AAV capsids are taught, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,282,199 B2, 7,790,449 B2, 8,318,480 B2, 8,962,332 B2 and International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2014/076466, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In one aspect, provided herein are AAV (e.g., AAV8, AAV9 or AAVrh10)-based viral vectors encoding a transgene (e.g., an HuPTM Fab). The amino acid sequences of AAV capsids, including AAV8, AAV9 and AAVrh10 are provided in FIG. 21.


In certain embodiments, a single-stranded AAV (ssAAV) may be used supra. In certain embodiments, a self-complementary vector, e.g., scAAV, may be used (see, e.g., Wu, 2007, Human Gene Therapy, 18(2):171-82, McCarty et al, 2001, Gene Therapy, Vol 8, Number 16, Pages 1248-1254; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,596,535; 7,125,717; and 7,456,683, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).


In certain embodiments, the viral vectors used in the methods described herein are adenovirus based viral vectors. A recombinant adenovirus vector may be used to transfer in the transgene encoding the HuPTMmAb or HuGlyFab or antigen-binding fragment. The recombinant adenovirus can be a first-generation vector, with an E1 deletion, with or without an E3 deletion, and with the expression cassette inserted into either deleted region. The recombinant adenovirus can be a second-generation vector, which contains full or partial deletions of the E2 and E4 regions. A helper-dependent adenovirus retains only the adenovirus inverted terminal repeats and the packaging signal (phi). The transgene is inserted between the packaging signal and the 3′ITR, with or without stuffer sequences to keep the genome close to wild-type size of approximately 36 kb. An exemplary protocol for production of adenoviral vectors may be found in Alba et al., 2005, “Gutless adenovirus: last generation adenovirus for gene therapy,” Gene Therapy 12:S18-S27, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


In certain embodiments, the viral vectors used in the methods described herein are lentivirus based viral vectors. A recombinant lentivirus vector may be used to transfer in the transgene encoding the HuPTM mAb antigen binding fragment. Four plasmids are used to make the construct: Gag/pol sequence containing plasmid, Rev sequence containing plasmids, Envelope protein containing plasmid (e.g., VSV-G), and Cis plasmid with the packaging elements and the anti-VEGF antigen-binding fragment gene.


For lentiviral vector production, the four plasmids are co-transfected into cells (e.g., HEK293 based cells), whereby polyethylenimine or calcium phosphate can be used as transfection agents, among others. The lentivirus is then harvested in the supernatant (lentiviruses need to bud from the cells to be active, so no cell harvest needs/should be done). The supernatant is filtered (0.45 μm) and then magnesium chloride and benzonase added. Further downstream processes can vary widely, with using TFF and column chromatography being the most GMP compatible ones. Others use ultracentrifugation with/without column chromatography. Exemplary protocols for production of lentiviral vectors may be found in Lesch et al., 2011, “Production and purification of lentiviral vector generated in 293T suspension cells with baculoviral vectors,” Gene Therapy 18:531-538, and Ausubel et al., 2012, “Production of CGMP-Grade Lentiviral Vectors,” Bioprocess Int. 10(2):32-43, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.


In a specific embodiment, a vector for use in the methods described herein is one that encodes an HuPTM mAb antigen binding fragment, such as an HuGlyFab, such that, upon introduction of the vector into a relevant cell, a glycosylated and/or tyrosine sulfated variant of the HuPTM mAb antigen binding fragment or HuGlyFab is expressed by the cell.

In some embodiments, the CAG or CB7 promoter (SEQ ID NO: 411) includes other expression control elements that enhance expression of the transgene driven by the vector. In certain embodiments, the other expression control elements include chicken β-actin intron and/or rabbit β-globin polyA signal. In certain embodiments, the promoter comprises a TATA box. In certain embodiments, the promoter comprises one or more elements. In certain embodiments, the one or more promoter elements may be inverted or moved relative to one another.

In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise a RPE65 promoter or an opsin promoter (a retinal cell/CNS specific promoter). In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprises a liver cell specific promoter, such as, a TBG (Thyroxine-binding Globulin) promoter (SEQ ID NO: 423), an APOA2 promoter, a SERPINA1 (hAAT) promoter, an ApoE.hAAT promoter (SEQ ID NO: 412), or a MIR122 promoter. In certain embodiments, the viral vector provided herein comprises a muscle specific promoter, such as a human desmin promoter (Jonuschies et al., 2014, Curr. Gene Ther. 14:276-288), a CK8 promoter (SEQ ID NO: 413; Himeda et al., 2011 Muscle Gene Therapy: Methods and Protocols, Methods in Molecular Biology, Dongsheng Duan (ed.), 709:3-19; SEQ ID NO: 413), or a Pitx3 promoter (Coulon et al., 2007, JBC 282:33192). In other embodiments, the viral vector comprises a VMD2 promoter. In certain embodiments, the viral vector herein comprises synthetic and tandem promoters, e.g. the promoters listed in Table 1 below.


In certain embodiments, the promoter is an inducible promoter. In certain embodiments the promoter is a hypoxia-inducible promoter. In certain embodiments, the promoter comprises a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) binding site. In certain embodiments, the promoter comprises a HIF-1α binding site. In certain embodiments, the promoter comprises a HIF-2α binding site. In certain embodiments, the HIF binding site comprises an RCGTG motif. For details regarding the location and sequence of HIF binding sites, see, e.g., Schödel, et al., Blood, 2011, 117(23):e207-e217, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In certain embodiments, the promoter comprises a binding site for a hypoxia induced transcription factor other than a HIF transcription factor. In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise one or more IRES sites that is preferentially translated in hypoxia. For teachings regarding hypoxia-inducible gene expression and the factors involved therein, see, e.g., Kenneth and Rocha, Biochem J., 2008, 414:19-29, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. In specific embodiments, the hypoxia-inducible promoter is the human N-WASP promoter, see, e.g., Salvi, 2017, Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports 9:13-21 (incorporated by reference for the teaching of the N-WASP promoter) or is the hypoxia-induced promoter of human Epo, see, e.g., Tsuchiya et al., 1993, J. Biochem. 113:395-400 (incorporated by reference for the disclosure of the Epo hypoxia-inducible promoter). In other embodiments, the promoter is a drug inducible promoter, for example, a promoter that is induced by administration of rapamycin or analogs thereof. See, e.g., the disclosure of rapamycin inducible promoters in PCT publications WO94/18317, WO 96/20951, WO 96/41865, WO 99/10508, WO 99/10510, WO 99/36553, and WO 99/41258, and U.S. Pat. No. 7,067,526, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties for the disclosure of drug inducible promoters.


Provided herein are constructs containing certain ubiquitous and tissue specific promoters. Such promoters include synthetic and tandem promoters. Examples and nucleotide sequences of promoters are provided in Table 1 below.

In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise one or more regulatory elements other than a promoter. In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise an enhancer. In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise a repressor. In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise an intron (e.g. VH4 intron (SEQ ID NO: 417) or a chimeric intron (SEQ ID NO: 416). In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise a polyadenylation sequence.


Provided are gene expression cassettes and rAAVs comprising gene expression cassettes in which expression of the transgene is controlled by engineered nucleic acid regulatory elements that have more than one regulatory element (promoter or enhancer), including regulatory elements that are arranged in tandem (two or three copies) that promote liver-specific expression, or both liver-specific expression and muscle-specific expression, or both liver-specific and expression and bone-specific expression. These regulatory elements include for the liver-specific expression, LSPX1 (SEQ ID NO: 315), LSPX2 (SEQ ID NO: 316), LTP1 (SEQ ID NO: 317), LTP2 (SEQ ID NO: 318), or LTP3 (SEQ ID NO: 319), liver and muscle expression, LMTP6 (SEQ ID NO: 320), LMTP13 (SEQ ID NO: 321), LMTP14 (SEQ ID NO: 322), LMTP15 (SEQ ID NO: 323), LMTP18 (SEQ ID NO: 324), LMTP19 (SEQ ID NO: 325), or LMTP20 (SEQ ID NO: 326), or liver and bone expression, LBTP1 (SEQ ID NO: 327) or LBTP2 (SEQ ID NO: 328), the sequences of which are provided in Table 1 supra.


5.1.4 Signal Peptides

In certain embodiments, the vectors provided herein comprise components that modulate protein delivery. In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise one or more signal peptides. Signal peptides may also be referred to herein as “leader sequences” or “leader peptides”. In certain embodiments, the signal peptides allow for the transgene product to achieve the proper packaging (e.g., glycosylation) in the cell. In certain embodiments, the signal peptides allow for the transgene product to achieve the proper localization in the cell. In certain embodiments, the signal peptides allow for the transgene product to achieve secretion from the cell.


There are two general approaches to select a signal sequence for protein production in a gene therapy context or in cell culture. One approach is to use a signal peptide from proteins homologous to the protein being expressed. For example, a human antibody signal peptide may be used to express IgGs in CHO or other cells. Another approach is to identify signal peptides optimized for the particular host cells used for expression. Signal peptides may be interchanged between different proteins or even between proteins of different organisms, but usually the signal sequences of the most abundant secreted proteins of that cell type are used for protein expression. For example, the signal peptide of human albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma, was found to substantially increase protein production yield in CHO cells. However, certain signal peptides may retain function and exert activity after being cleaved from the expressed protein as “post-targeting functions”. Thus, in specific embodiments, the signal peptide is selected from signal peptides of the most abundant proteins secreted by the cells used for expression to avoid the post-targeting functions. In a certain embodiment, the signal sequence is fused to both the heavy and light chain sequences. An exemplary sequence is MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146) which can be encoded by a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 422 (see Table 2, FIGS. 2-19 and FIGS. 29A-29F). Alternatively, signal sequences that are appropriate for expression, and may cause selective expression or directed expression of the HuPTM mAb or Fab or scFv in eye (including CNS), muscle, or liver are provided in Tables 2, 3 and 4, respectively, below.

5.1.5 Polycistronic Messages—IRES and 2A Linkers and scFv Constructs

Internal ribosome entry sites. A single construct can be engineered to encode both the heavy and light chains separated by a cleavable linker or IRES so that separate heavy and light chain polypeptides are expressed by the transduced cells. In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein provide polycistronic (e.g., bicistronic) messages. For example, the viral construct can encode the heavy and light chains separated by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements (for examples of the use of IRES elements to create bicistronic vectors see, e.g., Gurtu et al., 1996, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 229(1):295-8, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). IRES elements bypass the ribosome scanning model and begin translation at internal sites. The use of IRES in AAV is described, for example, in Furling et al., 2001, Gene Ther 8(11): 854-73, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. In certain embodiments, the bicistronic message is contained within a viral vector with a restraint on the size of the polynucleotide(s) therein. In certain embodiments, the bicistronic message is contained within an AAV virus-based vector (e.g., an AAV8-based, AAV9-based or AAVrh10-based vector).


Furin-2A linkers. In other embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein encode the heavy and light chains separated by a cleavable linker such as the self-cleaving 2A and 2A-like peptides, with or without upstream furin cleavage sites, e.g. Furin/2A linkers, such as furin/F2A (F/F2A) or furin/T2A (F/T2A) linkers (Fang et al., 2005, Nature Biotechnology 23: 584-590, Fang, 2007, Mol Ther 15: 1153-9, and Chang, J. et al, MAbs 2015, 7(2):403-412, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). For example, a furin/2A linker may be incorporated into an expression cassette to separate the heavy and light chain coding sequences, resulting in a construct with the structure:


Leader-Heavy chain-Furin site-2A site-Leader-Light chain-PolyA.


A 2A site or 2A-like site, such as an F2A site comprising the amino acid sequence RKRR(GSG)APVKQTLNFDLLKLAGDVESNPGP(SEQ ID NO: 231) or a T2A site comprising the amino acid sequence RKRR(GSG)EGRGSLLTCGDVEENPGP (SEQ ID NO: 429), is self-processing, resulting in “cleavage” between the final G and P amino acid residues. Several linkers, with or without an upstream flexible Gly-Ser-Gly (GSG) linker sequence (SEQ ID NO: 427), that could be used include but are not limited to:

In certain embodiments an additional proteolytic cleavage site, e.g. a furin cleavage site, is incorporated into the expression construct adjacent to the self-processing cleavage site (e.g. 2A or 2A like sequence), thereby providing a means to remove additional amino acids that remain following cleavage by the self processing cleavage sequence. Without being bound to any one theory, a peptide bond is skipped when the ribosome encounters the 2A sequence in the open reading frame, resulting in the termination of translation, or continued translation of the downstream sequence (the light chain). This self-processing sequence results in a string of additional amino acids at the end of the C-terminus of the heavy chain. However, such additional amino acids can then be cleaved by host cell Furin at the furin cleavage site(s), e.g. located immediately prior to the 2A site and after the heavy chain sequence, and further cleaved by carboxypeptidases. The resultant heavy chain may have one, two, three, or more additional amino acids included at the C-terminus, or it may not have such additional amino acids, depending on the sequence of the Furin linker used and the carboxypeptidase that cleaves the linker in vivo (See, e.g., Fang et al., 17 Apr. 2005, Nature Biotechnol. Advance Online Publication; Fang et al., 2007, Molecular Therapy 15(6):1153-1159; Luke, 2012, Innovations in Biotechnology, Ch. 8, 161-186). Furin linkers that may be used comprise a series of four basic amino acids, for example, RKRR (SEQ ID NO: 222), RRRR (SEQ ID NO: 223), RRKR (SEQ ID NO: 224), or RKKR (SEQ ID NO: 225). Once this linker is cleaved by a carboxypeptidase, additional amino acids may remain, such that an additional zero, one, two, three or four amino acids may remain on the C-terminus of the heavy chain, for example, R, RR, RK, RKR, RRR, RRK, RKK, RKRR (SEQ ID NO: 222), RRRR (SEQ ID NO: 223), RRKR (SEQ ID NO: 224), or RKKR (SEQ ID NO: 225). In certain embodiments, once the linker is cleaved by a carboxypeptidase, no additional amino acids remain. In certain embodiments, 0.5% to 1%, 1% to 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, or 20% of the antibody, e.g., antigen-binding fragment, population produced by the constructs for use in the methods described herein has one, two, three, or four amino acids remaining on the C-terminus of the heavy chain after cleavage. In certain embodiments, the furin linker has the sequence R-X-K/R-R, such that the additional amino acids on the C-terminus of the heavy chain are R, RX, RXK, RXR, RXKR, or RXRR, where X is any amino acid, for example, alanine (A). In certain embodiments, no additional amino acids may remain on the C-terminus of the heavy chain.


Flexible peptide linker. In some embodiments, a single construct can be engineered to encode both the heavy and light chains (e.g. the heavy and light chain variable domains) separated by a flexible peptide linker such as those encoding a scFv. A flexible peptide linker can be composed of flexible residues like glycine and serine so that the adjacent heavy chain and light chain domains are free to move relative to one another. The construct may be arranged such that the heavy chain variable domain is at the N-terminus of the scFv, followed by the linker and then the light chain variable domain. Alternatively, the construct may be arranged such that the light chain variable domain is at the N-terminus of the scFv, followed by the linker and then the heavy chain variable domain. That is, the components may be arranged as NH2—VL-linker-VH—COOH or NH2—VH-linker-VL—COOH.


In certain embodiments, an expression cassette described herein is contained within a viral vector with a restraint on the size of the polynucleotide(s) therein. In certain embodiments, the expression cassette is contained within an AAV virus-based vector. Due to the size restraints of certain vectors, the vector may or may not accommodate the coding sequences for the full heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibody but may accommodate the coding sequences of the heavy and light chains of antigen binding fragments, such as the heavy and light chains of a Fab or F(ab′)2 fragment or an scFv. In particular, the AAV vectors described herein may accommodate a transgene of approximately 4.7 kilobases. For constructs such as that in FIG. 1 that contains the CB7 promoter, the chicken β-actin intron, rabbit β-globin polyA signal, and ITRs, the therapeutic antibody encoded may be approximately 752 amino acids. Substitution of smaller expression elements would permit the expression of larger protein products, such as full-length therapeutic antibodies.


5.1.6 Untranslated Regions

In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise one or more untranslated regions (UTRs), e.g., 3′ and/or 5′ UTRs. In certain embodiments, the UTRs are optimized for the desired level of protein expression. In certain embodiments, the UTRs are optimized for the mRNA half-life of the transgene. In certain embodiments, the UTRs are optimized for the stability of the mRNA of the transgene. In certain embodiments, the UTRs are optimized for the secondary structure of the mRNA of the transgene.


5.1.7 Inverted Terminal Repeats

In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise one or more inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences. ITR sequences may be used for packaging the recombinant gene expression cassette into the virion of the viral vector. In certain embodiments, the ITR is from an AAV, e.g., AAV8 or AAV2 (see, e.g., Yan et al., 2005, J. Virol., 79(1):364-379; U.S. Pat. No. 7,282,199 B2, U.S. Pat. No. 7,790,449 B2, U.S. Pat. No. 8,318,480 B2, U.S. Pat. No. 8,962,332 B2 and International Patent Application No. PCT/EP2014/076466, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In preferred embodiments, nucleotide sequences encoding the ITRs may, for example, comprise the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 418 (5′-ITR) or 420 (3′-ITR). In certain embodiments, the modified ITRs used to produce self-complementary vector, e.g., scAAV, may be used (see, e.g., Wu, 2007, Human Gene Therapy, 18(2):171-82, McCarty et al, 2001, Gene Therapy, Vol 8, Number 16, Pages 1248-1254; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,596,535; 7,125,717; and 7,456,683, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In preferred embodiments, nucleotide sequences encoding the modified ITRs may, for example, comprise the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 419 (5′-ITR) or 421 (3′-ITR).


5.1.8 Transgenes

The transgenes encode a HuPTM mAb, either as a full-length antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof, e.g. a Fab fragment (an HuGlyFab) or a F(ab′)2 or an scFv based upon a therapeutic antibody disclosed herein. In specific embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding fragment, particularly the HuGlyFab, are engineered to contain additional glycosylation sites on the Fab domain (e.g., see Courtois et al., 2016, mAbs 8: 99-112 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for it description of sites of hyperglycosylation on a Fab domain). FIG. 20 provides alignments of the Fab heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibodies disclosed herein and highlights in green residues that may be substituted with an asparagine or, in some instances, a serine, resulting in hyperglycosylation. In addition, for the HuPTM mAb comprising an Fc domain, the Fc domain may be engineered to alter the glycosylation site at N297 to prevent glycosylation at that site (for example, a substitution at N297 for another amino acid and/or a substitution at T297 for a residue that is not a T or S to knock out the glycosylation site). Such Fc domains are “aglycosylated”.


In certain embodiments, the transgenes encode either a full-length antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof with the coding sequence of the heavy and light chains. Such transgenes encoding the full-length antibody comprise the Fab portion and an Fc region. The Fc region is further discussed in Section 5.1.9. Exemplary sequences are provided in FIG. 23 and Table 7.


In some embodiments, antigen binding fragments are advantageously used. FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F provide the amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chains of the Fab fragments of the therapeutic antibodies (see also Table 5, which provides the amino acid sequences of the Fab heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibodies). In some embodiments, the transgene for expression of a full-length antibody may comprise the nucleotide sequences encoding the heavy and light chain sequences using nucleotide sequences that encode the Fab portion of the heavy chain, including the hinge region sequence, plus the Fc polypeptide of the heavy chain for the appropriate isotype as described further herein and the light chain. Nucleotide sequences encoding the Fab fragment portions of the heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibodies disclosed herein are provided in Table 6. Certain of these nucleotide sequences are codon optimized for expression in human cells. Sequences for lanadelumab and adalimumab coding transgenes are provided in Tables 8 and 17, respectively. The transgene may encode a Fab fragment using nucleotide sequences encoding the sequences provided in FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F, but not including the portion of the hinge region on the heavy chain that forms interchain di-sulfide bonds (e.g., the portion containing the sequence CPPCPA (SEQ ID NO: 232)). Heavy chain Fab domain sequences that do not contain a CPPCP (SEQ ID NO: 233) sequence of the hinge region at the C-terminus will not form intrachain disulfide bonds and, thus, will form Fab fragments with the corresponding light chain Fab domain sequences, whereas those heavy chain Fab domain sequences with a portion of the hinge region at the C-terminus containing the sequence CPPCP (SEQ ID NO: 233) will form intrachain disulfide bonds and, thus, will form Fab2 fragments. For example, in some embodiments, the transgene may encode a scFv comprising a light chain variable domain and a heavy chain variable domain connected by a flexible linker in between (where the heavy chain variable domain may be either at the N-terminal end or the C-terminal end of the scFv), and optionally, may further comprise a Fc polypeptide (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4) on the C-terminal end of the heavy chain. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the transgene may encode F(ab′)2 fragments comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes the light chain and the heavy chain sequence that includes at least the sequence CPPCA (SEQ ID NO: 430) of the hinge region, as depicted in FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F which depict various regions of the hinge region that may be included at the C-terminus of the heavy chain sequence. Pre-existing anti-hinge antibodies (AHA) may cause immunogenicity and reduce efficacy. Thus, in certain embodiments, for the IgG1 isotype, C-terminal ends with D221 or ends with a mutation T225L or with L242 can reduce binding to AHA. (See, e.g., Brerski, 2008, J Immunol 181: 3183-92 and Kim, 2016, 8: 1536-1547). For IgG2, the risk of AHA is lower since the hinge region of IgG2 is not as susceptible to enzymatic cleavage required to generate endogenous AHA. (See, e.g., Brerski, 2011, MAbs 3: 558-567).


In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise the following elements in the following order: a) a constitutive or inducible (e.g., hypoxia-inducible or rifamycin-inducible) promoter sequence or a tissue specific promoter/regulatory region, for example, one of the regulatory regions provided in Table 1, and b) a sequence encoding the transgene (e.g., a HuGlyFab). In certain embodiments, the sequence encoding the transgene comprises multiple ORFs separated by IRES elements. In certain embodiments, the ORFs encode the heavy and light chain domains of the HuGlyFab. In certain embodiments, the sequence encoding the transgene comprises multiple subunits in one ORF separated by F/F2A sequences or F/T2A sequences. In certain embodiments, the sequence comprising the transgene encodes the heavy and light chain domains of the HuGlyFab separated by an F/F2A sequence or a F/T2A sequence. In certain embodiments, the sequence comprising the transgene encodes the heavy and light chain variable domains of the HuGlyFab separated by a flexible peptide linker (as an scFv).

In certain embodiments, the viral vectors provided herein comprise the following elements in the following order: a) a first ITR sequence, b) a first linker sequence, c) a constitutive or an inducible promoter sequence or a tissue specific regulatory region, d) a second linker sequence, e) an intron sequence, f) a third linker sequence, g) a first UTR sequence, h) a sequence encoding the transgene (e.g., HuGlyFab), i) a second UTR sequence, j) a fourth linker sequence, k) a poly A sequence, l) a fifth linker sequence, and m) a second ITR sequence, wherein the transgene comprises a signal, and wherein the transgene encodes a light chain and a heavy chain sequence separated by a cleavable F/2A sequence.


5.1.9 Fc Region Modifications

In certain embodiments, the transgenes encode full length or substantially full length heavy and light chains that associate to form a full length or intact antibody. (“Substantially intact” or “substantially full length” refers to a mAb having a heavy chain sequence that is at least 95% identical to the full-length heavy chain mAb amino acid sequence and a light chain sequence that is at least 95% identical to the full-length light chain mAb amino acid sequence). Accordingly, the transgenes comprise nucleotide sequences that encode, for example, the light and heavy chains of the Fab fragments of FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F including the hinge region of the heavy chain and C-terminal of the heavy chain of the Fab fragment, an Fc domain peptide. Table 7 provides the amino acid sequences of the Fc polypeptides for certain of the therapeutic antibodies described herein. Alternatively, an IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4 Fc domain, the sequences of which are provided in FIG. 23 may be utilized. As detailed, the transgene may comprise a nucleotide sequence encoding the Fc polypeptide for the therapeutic antibody linked to the nucleotide sequence encoding the heavy chain Fab fragment at the C terminus of the hinge region as provided in Table 6 (with the amino acid sequences provided in FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F and Table 6).


The term “Fc region” refers to a dimer of two “Fc polypeptides” (or “Fc domains”), each “Fc polypeptide” comprising the heavy chain constant region of an antibody excluding the first constant region immunoglobulin domain. In some embodiments, an “Fc region” includes two Fc polypeptides linked by one or more disulfide bonds, chemical linkers, or peptide linkers. “Fc polypeptide” refers to at least the last two constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgA, IgD, and IgG, or the last three constant region immunoglobulin domains of IgE and IgM and may also include part or all of the flexible hinge N-terminal to these domains. For IgG, e.g., “Fc polypeptide” comprises immunoglobulin domains Cgamma2 (Cγ2, often referred to as CH2 domain) and Cgamma3 (Cγ3, also referred to as CH3 domain) and may include the lower part of the hinge domain between Cgamma1 (Cγ1, also referred to as CH1 domain) and CH2 domain. Although the boundaries of the Fc polypeptide may vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc polypeptide is usually defined to comprise residues starting at T223 or C226 or P230, to its carboxyl-terminus, wherein the numbering is according to the EU index as in Kabat et al. (1991, NIH Publication 91-3242, National Technical Information Services, Springfield, Va.). For IgA, e.g., Fc polypeptide comprises immunoglobulin domains Calpha2 (Cα2) and Calpha3 (Cα3) and may include the lower part of the hinge between Calpha1 (Cα1) and Cα2.


In certain embodiments, the Fc polypeptide is that of the therapeutic antibody (see Table 7) or is the Fc polypeptide corresponding to the isotype of the therapeutic antibody (isotype is indicated in FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F). In still other embodiments, the Fc polypeptide is an IgG Fc polypeptide. The Fc polypeptide may be from the IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4 isotype (see FIG. 23 for alignment of IgG1, IgG2 and IgG4 Fc domain sequences, numbered according to EU numbering) or may be an IgG3 Fc domain, depending, for example, upon the desired effector activity of the therapeutic antibody. In some embodiments, the engineered heavy chain constant region (CH), which includes the Fc domain, is chimeric. As such, a chimeric CH region combines CH domains derived from more than one immunoglobulin isotype and/or subtype. For example, the chimeric (or hybrid) CH region comprises part or all of an Fc region from IgG, IgA and/or IgM. In other examples, the chimeric CH region comprises part or all a CH2 domain derived from a human IgG1, human IgG2, or human IgG4 molecule, combined with part or all of a CH3 domain derived from a human IgG1, human IgG2, or human IgG4 molecule. In other embodiments, the chimeric CH region contains a chimeric hinge region.


In some embodiments, the recombinant vectors encode therapeutic antibodies comprising an engineered (mutant) Fc regions, e.g. engineered Fc regions of an IgG constant region. Modifications to an antibody constant region, Fc region or Fc fragment of an IgG antibody may alter one or more effector functions such as Fc receptor binding or neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) binding and thus half-life, CDC activity, ADCC activity, and/or ADPC activity, compared to a corresponding antibody having a wild-type IgG constant region, or an IgG heavy chain constant region without the recited modification(s). Accordingly, in some embodiments, the antibody may be engineered to provide an antibody constant region, Fc region or Fc fragment of an IgG antibody that exhibits altered binding (as compared to a reference or wild-type constant region without the recited modification(s)) to one or more Fc receptors (e.g., FcγRI, FcγRIIA, FcγRIIB, FcγRIIIA, FcγRIIIB, FcγRIV, or FcRn receptor). In some embodiments, the antibody an antibody constant region, Fc region or Fc fragment of an IgG antibody that exhibits a one or more altered effector functions such as CDC, ADCC, or ADCP activity, compared to a corresponding antibody having a wild-type IgG constant region, or an IgG constant without the recited modification(s).


“Effector function” refers to a biochemical event that results from the interaction of an antibody Fc region with an Fc receptor or ligand. Effector functions include FcγR-mediated effector functions such as ADCC and ADCP and complement-mediated effector functions such as CDC.


An “effector cell” refers to a cell of the immune system that expresses one or more Fc receptors and mediates one or more effector functions. Effector cells include but are not limited to monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, mast cells, platelets, B cells, large granular lymphocytes, Langerhans' cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and T cells, and may be from any organism including but not limited to humans, mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys.


“ADCC” or “antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity” refers to the cell-mediated reaction wherein nonspecific cytotoxic effector (immune) cells that express FcγRs recognize bound antibody on a target cell and subsequently cause lysis of the target cell.


“ADCP” or “antibody dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis” refers to the cell-mediated reaction wherein nonspecific cytotoxic effector (immune) cells that express FcγRs recognize bound antibody on a target cell and subsequently cause phagocytosis of the target cell.


“CDC” or “complement-dependent cytotoxicity” refers to the reaction wherein one or more complement protein components recognize bound antibody on a target cell and subsequently cause lysis of the target cell.


In some embodiments, the modifications of the Fc domain include, but are not limited to, the following modifications and combinations thereof, with reference to EU numbering of an IgG constant region (see FIG. 23): 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 248, 249, 250, 252, 254, 255, 256, 258, 265, 267, 268, 269, 270, 272, 276, 278, 280, 283, 285, 286, 289, 290, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 301, 303, 305, 307, 308, 309, 311, 312, 315, 318, 320, 322, 324, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 337, 338, 339, 340, 342, 344, 356, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 373, 375, 376, 378, 380, 382, 383, 384, 386, 388, 389, 398, 414, 416, 419, 428, 430, 433, 434, 435, 437, 438, and 439.


In certain embodiments, the Fc region comprises an amino acid addition, deletion, or substitution of one or more of amino acid residues 251-256, 285-290, 308-314, 385-389, and 428-436 of the IgG. In some embodiments, 251-256, 285-290, 308-314, 385-389, and 428-436 (EU numbering of Kabat; see FIG. 23) is substituted with histidine, arginine, lysine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, threonine, asparagine, or glutamine. In some embodiments, a non-histidine residue is substituted with a histidine residue. In some embodiments, a histidine residue is substituted with a non-histidine residue.


Enhancement of FcRn binding by an antibody having an engineered Fc leads to preferential binding of the affinity-enhanced antibody to FcRn as compared to antibody having wild-type Fc, and thus leads to a net enhanced recycling of the FcRn-affinity-enhanced antibody, which results in further increased antibody half-life. An enhanced recycling approach allows highly effective targeting and clearance of antigens, including e.g. “high titer” circulating antigens, such as C5, cytokines, or bacterial or viral antigens.


Provided in certain embodiments are modified constant region, Fc region or Fc fragment of an IgG antibody with enhanced binding to FcRn in serum as compared to a wild-type Fc region (without engineered modifications). In some instances, antibodies, e.g. IgG antibodies, are engineered to bind to FcRn at a neutral pH, e.g., at or above pH 7.4, to enhance pH-dependence of binding to FcRn as compared to a wild-type Fc region (without engineered modifications). In some instances, antibodies, e.g. IgG antibodies, are engineered to exhibit enhanced binding (e.g. increased affinity or KD) to FcRn in endosomes (e.g., at an acidic pH, e.g., at or below pH 6.0) relative to a wild-type IgG and/or reference antibody binding to FcRn at an acidic pH, as well as in comparison to binding to FcRn in serum (e.g., at a neutral pH, e.g., at or above pH 7.4). Provided are antibodies with an engineered antibody constant region, Fc region or Fc fragment of an IgG antibody that exhibits an improved serum or resident tissue half-life, compared to a corresponding antibody having a wild-type IgG constant region, or an IgG constant without the recited modification(s);


Non-limiting examples of such Fc modifications include, e.g., a modification at position 250 (e.g., E or Q); 250 and 428 (e.g., L or F); 252 (e.g., LN/Y/W or T), 254 (e.g., S or T), and 256 (e.g., S/R/Q/E/D or T); or a modification at position 428 and/or 433 (e.g., H/L/R/S/P/Q or K) and/or 434 (e.g., H/F or Y); or a modification at position 250 and/or 428; or a modification at position 307 or 308 (e.g., 308F, V308F), and 434. In one embodiment, the modification comprises a 428L (e.g., M428L) and 434S (e.g., N434S) modification; a 428L, 2591 (e.g., V2591), and 308F (e.g., V308F) modification; a 433K (e.g., H433K) and a 434 (e.g., 434Y) modification; a 252, 254, and 256 (e.g., 252Y, 254T, and 256E) modification; a 250Q and 428L modification (e.g., T250Q and M428L); and a 307 and/or 308 modification (e.g., 308F or 308P) (EU numbering; see FIG. 23).


In some embodiments, the Fc region can be a mutant form such as hIgG1 Fc including M252 mutations, e.g. M252Y and S254T and T256E (“YTE mutation”) exhibit enhanced affinity for human FcRn (Dall'Acqua, et al., 2002, J Immunol 169:5171-5180) and subsequent crystal structure of this mutant antibody bound to hFcRn resulting in the creation of two salt bridges (Oganesyan, et al. 2014, JBC 289(11): 7812-7824). Antibodies having the YTE mutation have been administered to monkeys and humans, and have significantly improved pharmacokinetic properties (Haraya, et al., 2019, Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics, 34(1):25-41).


In some embodiments, modifications to one or more amino acid residues in the Fc region may reduce half-life in systemic circulation (serum), however result in improved retainment in tissues (e.g. in the eye) by disabling FcRn binding (e.g. H435A, EU numbering of Kabat) (Ding et al., 2017, MAbs 9:269-284; and Kim, 1999, Eur J Immunol 29:2819).


In some embodiments, the Fc domain may be engineered to activate all, some, or none of the normal Fc effector functions, without affecting the Fc polypeptide's (e.g. antibody's) desired pharmacokinetic properties. Fc polypeptides having altered effector function may be desirable as they may reduce unwanted side effects, such as activation of effector cells, by the therapeutic protein.


Methods to alter or even ablate effector function may include mutation(s) or modification(s) to the hinge region amino acid residues of an antibody. For example, IgG Fc domain mutants comprising 234A, 237A, and 238S substitutions, according to the EU numbering system, exhibit decreased complement dependent lysis and/or cell mediated destruction. Deletions and/or substitutions in the lower hinge, e.g. where positions 233-236 within a hinge domain (EU numbering) are deleted or modified to glycine, have been shown in the art to significantly reduce ADCC and CDC activity.


In specific embodiments, the Fc domain is an aglycosylated Fc domain that has a substitution at residue 297 or 299 to alter the glycosylation site at 297 such that the Fc domain is not glycosylated. Such aglycosylated Fc domains may have reduced ADCC or other effector activity.


Non-limiting examples of proteins comprising mutant and/or chimeric CH regions having altered effector functions, and methods of engineering and testing mutant antibodies, are described in the art, e.g. K. L. Amour, et al., Eur. J. Immunol. 1999, 29:2613-2624; Lazar et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2006, 103:4005; US Patent Application Publication No. 20070135620A1 published Jun. 14, 2007; US Patent Application Publication No. 20080154025 A1, published Jun. 26, 2008; US Patent Application Publication No. 20100234572 A1, published Sep. 16, 2010; US Patent Application Publication No. 20120225058 A1, published Sep. 6, 2012; US Patent Application Publication No. 20150337053 A1, published Nov. 26, 2015; International Publication No. WO20/16161010A2 published Oct. 6, 2016; U.S. Pat.

The C-terminal lysines (-K) conserved in the heavy chain genes of all human IgG subclasses are generally absent from antibodies circulating in serum—the C-terminal lysines are cleaved off in circulation, resulting in a heterogeneous population of circulating IgGs. (van den Bremer et al., 2015, mAbs 7:672-680). In the vectored constructs for full length mAbs, the DNA encoding the C-terminal lysine (-K) or glycine-lysine (-GK) of the Fc terminus can be deleted to produce a more homogeneous antibody product in situ. (See, Hu et al., 2017 Biotechnol. Prog. 33: 786-794 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety).


5.1.10 Manufacture and Testing of Vectors

The viral vectors provided herein may be manufactured using host cells. The viral vectors provided herein may be manufactured using mammalian host cells, for example, A549, WEHI, 10T1/2, BHK, MDCK, COS1, COS7, BSC 1, BSC 40, BMT 10, VERO, W138, HeLa, 293, Saos, C2C12, L, HT1080, HepG2, primary fibroblast, hepatocyte, and myoblast cells. The viral vectors provided herein may be manufactured using host cells from human, monkey, mouse, rat, rabbit, or hamster.


The host cells are stably transformed with the sequences encoding the transgene and associated elements (e.g., the vector genome), and the means of producing viruses in the host cells, for example, the replication and capsid genes (e.g., the rep and cap genes of AAV). For a method of producing recombinant AAV vectors with AAV8 capsids, see Section IV of the Detailed Description of U.S. Pat. No. 7,282,199 B2, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Genome copy titers of said vectors may be determined, for example, by TAQMAN® analysis.

Alternatively, baculovirus expression systems in insect cells may be used to produce AAV vectors. For a review, see Aponte-Ubillus et al., 2018, Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 102:1045-1054 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for manufacturing techniques.


In vitro assays, e.g., cell culture assays, can be used to measure transgene expression from a vector described herein, thus indicating, e.g., potency of the vector. For example, the PER.C6® Cell Line (Lonza), a cell line derived from human embryonic retinal cells, or retinal pigment epithelial cells, e.g., the retinal pigment epithelial cell line hTERT RPE-1 (available from ATCC®), can be used to assess transgene expression. Once expressed, characteristics of the expressed product can be determined, including determination of the glycosylation and tyrosine sulfation patterns associated with the HuGlyFab. Glycosylation patterns and methods of determining the same are discussed in Section 5.2.1, while tyrosine sulfation patterns and methods of determining the same are discussed in Section 5.2.2. In addition, benefits resulting from glycosylation/sulfation of the cell-expressed HuGlyFab can be determined using assays known in the art, e.g., the methods described in Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2.


5.1.10 Compositions

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration to human subjects comprise a suspension of the recombinant vector in a formulation buffer comprising a physiologically compatible aqueous buffer, a surfactant and optional excipients. Such formulation buffer can comprise one or more of a polysaccharide, a surfactant, polymer, or oil. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises rAAV combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for administration to a subject. In one embodiment, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term “carrier” refers to a diluent, adjuvant (e.g., Freund's complete and incomplete adjuvant), excipient, or vehicle with which the agent is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, including, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. Water is a common carrier when the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol and the like. Additional examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, and stabilizers include, but are not limited to, buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid; low molecular weight polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin and gelatin; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, arginine or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming counterions such as sodium; and/or nonionic surfactants such as TWEEN′, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and PLURONICS™ as known in the art. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can also include a lubricant, a wetting agent, a sweetener, a flavoring agent, an emulsifier, a suspending agent, and a preservative, in addition to the above ingredients. These compositions can take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsion, tablets, pills, capsules, powders, sustained-release formulations and the like.


5.2 N-Glycosylation, Tyrosine Sulfation, and O-Glycosylation

The amino acid sequence (primary sequence) of HuGlyFabs or HuPTM Fabs, HuPTMmAbs, and HuPTM scFvs disclosed herein each comprises at least one site at which N-glycosylation or tyrosine sulfation takes place (see FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F) for glycosylation and/or sulfation positions within the amino acid sequences of the Fab fragments of the therapeutic antibodies). Post-translational modification also occurs in the Fc domain of full length antibodies, particularly at residue N297 (by EU numbering, see FIG. 23).


Alternatively, mutations may be introduced into the Fc domain to alter the glycosylation site at residue N297 (EU numbering, see FIG. 23), in particular substituting another amino acid for the asparagine at 297 or the threonine at 299 to remove the glycosylation site resulting in an aglycosylated Fc domain.


5.2.1 N-Glycosylation

Reverse Glycosylation Sites


The canonical N-glycosylation sequence is known in the art to be Asn-X-Ser (or Thr), wherein X can be any amino acid except Pro. However, it recently has been demonstrated that asparagine (Asn) residues of human antibodies can be glycosylated in the context of a reverse consensus motif, Ser(or Thr)-X-Asn, wherein X can be any amino acid except Pro. See Valliere-Douglass et al., 2009, J. Biol. Chem. 284:32493-32506; and Valliere-Douglass et al., 2010, J. Biol. Chem. 285:16012-16022. As disclosed herein, certain HuGlyFabs and HuPTM scFvs disclosed herein comprise such reverse consensus sequences.


Non-Consensus Glycosylation Sites


In addition to reverse N-glycosylation sites, it recently has been demonstrated that glutamine (Gln) residues of human antibodies can be glycosylated in the context of a non-consensus motif, Gln-Gly-Thr. See Valliere-Douglass et al., 2010, J. Biol. Chem. 285:16012-16022. Surprisingly, certain of the HuGlyFab fragments disclosed herein comprise such non-consensus sequences. In addition, O-glycosylation comprises the addition of N-acetyl-galactosamine to serine or threonine residues by the enzyme. It has been demonstrated that amino acid residues present in the hinge region of antibodies can be O-glycosylated. The possibility of O-glycosylation confers another advantage to the therapeutic antibodies provided herein, as compared to, e.g., antigen-binding fragments produced in E. coli, again because the E. coli naturally does not contain machinery equivalent to that used in human O-glycosylation. (Instead, O-glycosylation in E. coli has been demonstrated only when the bacteria is modified to contain specific O-glycosylation machinery. See, e.g., Farid-Moayer et al., 2007, J. Bacteriol. 189:8088-8098.)


Engineered N-Glycosylation Sites


In certain embodiments, a nucleic acid encoding a HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuTPM scFv is modified to include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more N-glycosylation sites (including the canonical N-glycosylation consensus sequence, reverse N-glycosylation site, and non-consensus N-glycosylation sites) than would normally be associated with the HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv (e.g., relative to the number of N-glycosylation sites associated with the HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv in its unmodified state). In specific embodiments, introduction of glycosylation sites is accomplished by insertion of N-glycosylation sites (including the canonical N-glycosylation consensus sequence, reverse N-glycosylation site, and non-consensus N-glycosylation sites) anywhere in the primary structure of the antigen-binding fragment, so long as said introduction does not impact binding of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment to its antigen. Introduction of glycosylation sites can be accomplished by, e.g., adding new amino acids to the primary structure of the antigen-binding fragment, or the antibody from which the antigen-binding fragment is derived (e.g., the glycosylation sites are added, in full or in part), or by mutating existing amino acids in the antigen-binding fragment, or the antibody from which the antigen-binding fragment is derived, in order to generate the N-glycosylation sites (e.g., amino acids are not added to the antigen-binding fragment/antibody, but selected amino acids of the antigen-binding fragment/antibody are mutated so as to form N-glycosylation sites). Those of skill in the art will recognize that the amino acid sequence of a protein can be readily modified using approaches known in the art, e.g., recombinant approaches that include modification of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein.


In a specific embodiment, a HuGlyMab or antigen-binding fragment is modified such that, when expressed in mammalian cells, such as retina, CNS, liver or muscle cells, it can be hyperglycosylated. See Courtois et al., 2016, mAbs 8:99-112 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


N-Glycosylation of HuPTM mAbs and HuPTM Antigen-Binding Fragments


Unlike small molecule drugs, biologics usually comprise a mixture of many variants with different modifications or forms that could have a different potency, pharmacokinetics, and/or safety profile. It is not essential that every molecule produced either in the gene therapy or protein therapy approach be fully glycosylated and sulfated. Rather, the population of glycoproteins produced should have sufficient glycosylation (including 2,6-sialylation) and sulfation to demonstrate efficacy. The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein can be, for example, to slow or arrest the progression of a disease or abnormal condition or to reduce the severity of one or more symptoms associated with the disease or abnormal condition.


When a HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv is expressed in a human cell, the N-glycosylation sites of the antigen-binding fragment can be glycosylated with various different glycans. N-glycans of antigen-binding fragments and the Fc domain have been characterized in the art. For example, Bondt et al., 2014, Mol. & Cell. Proteomics 13.11:3029-3039 (incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for its disclosure of Fab-associated N-glycans; see also, FIG. 22) characterizes glycans associated with Fabs, and demonstrates that Fab and Fc portions of antibodies comprise distinct glycosylation patterns, with Fab glycans being high in galactosylation, sialylation, and bisection (e.g., with bisecting GlcNAc) but low in fucosylation with respect to Fc glycans. Like Bondt, Huang et al., 2006, Anal. Biochem. 349:197-207 (incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for it disclosure of Fab-associated N-glycans) found that most glycans of Fabs are sialylated. However, in the Fab of the antibody examined by Huang (which was produced in a murine cell background), the identified sialic residues were N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (“Neu5Gc” or “NeuGc”) (which is not natural to humans) instead of N-acetylneuraminic acid (“Neu5Ac,” the predominant human sialic acid). In addition, Song et al., 2014, Anal. Chem. 86:5661-5666 (incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for its disclosure of Fab-associated N-glycans) describes a library of N-glycans associated with commercially available antibodies.


Glycosylation of the Fc domain has been characterized and is a single N-linked glycan at asparagine 297 (EU numbering; see FIG. 23). The glycan plays an integral structural and functional role, impacting antibody effector function, such as binding to Fc receptor (see, for example, Jennewein and Alter, 2017, Trends In Immunology 38:358 for a discussion of the role of Fc glycosylation in antibody function). Removal of the Fc region glycan almost completely ablates effector function (Jennewien and Alter at 362). The composition of the Fc glycan has been shown to impact effector function, for example hypergalactosylation and reduction in fucosylation have been shown to increase ADCC activity while sialylation correlates with anti-inflammatory effects (Id. at 364). Disease states, genetics and even diet can impact the composition of the Fc glycan in vivo. For recombinantly expressed antibodies, the glycan composition can differ significantly by the type of host cell used for recombinant expression and strategies are available to control and modify the composition of the glycan in therapeutic antibodies recombinantly expressed in cell culture, such as CHO to alter effector function (see, for example, US 2014/0193404 by Hansen et al.). Accordingly, the HuPTM mAbs provided herein may advantageously have a glycan at N297 that is more like the native, human glycan composition than antibodies expressed in non-human host cells.


Importantly, when the HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv are expressed in human cells, the need for in vitro production in prokaryotic host cells (e.g., E. coli) or eukaryotic host cells (e.g., CHO cells or NS0 cells) is circumvented. Instead, as a result of the methods described herein, N-glycosylation sites of the HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv are advantageously decorated with glycans relevant to and beneficial to treatment of humans. Such an advantage is unattainable when CHO cells, NS0 cells, or E. coli are utilized in antibody/antigen-binding fragment production, because e.g., CHO cells (1) do not express 2,6 sialyltransferase and thus cannot add 2,6 sialic acid during N-glycosylation; (2) can add Neu5Gc as sialic acid instead of Neu5Ac; and (3) can also produce an immunogenic glycan, the α-Gal antigen, which reacts with anti-α-Gal antibodies present in most individuals, which at high concentrations can trigger anaphylaxis; and because (4) E. coli does not naturally contain components needed for N-glycosylation.


Assays for determining the glycosylation pattern of antibodies, including antigen-binding fragments are known in the art. For example, hydrazinolysis can be used to analyze glycans. First, polysaccharides are released from their associated protein by incubation with hydrazine (the Ludger Liberate Hydrazinolysis Glycan Release Kit, Oxfordshire, UK can be used). The nucleophile hydrazine attacks the glycosidic bond between the polysaccharide and the carrier protein and allows release of the attached glycans. N-acetyl groups are lost during this treatment and have to be reconstituted by re-N-acetylation. Glycans may also be released using enzymes such as glycosidases or endoglycosidases, such as PNGase F and Endo H, which cleave cleanly and with fewer side reactions than hydrazines. The free glycans can be purified on carbon columns and subsequently labeled at the reducing end with the fluorophor 2-amino benzamide. The labeled polysaccharides can be separated on a GlycoSep-N column (GL Sciences) according to the HPLC protocol of Royle et al, Anal Biochem 2002, 304(1):70-90. The resulting fluorescence chromatogram indicates the polysaccharide length and number of repeating units. Structural information can be gathered by collecting individual peaks and subsequently performing MS/MS analysis. Thereby the monosaccharide composition and sequence of the repeating unit can be confirmed and additionally in homogeneity of the polysaccharide composition can be identified. Specific peaks of low or high molecular weight can be analyzed by MALDI-MS/MS and the result used to confirm the glycan sequence. Each peak in the chromatogram corresponds to a polymer, e.g., glycan, consisting of a certain number of repeat units and fragments, e.g., sugar residues, thereof. The chromatogram thus allows measurement of the polymer, e.g., glycan, length distribution. The elution time is an indication for polymer length, while fluorescence intensity correlates with molar abundance for the respective polymer, e.g., glycan. Other methods for assessing glycans associated with antigen-binding fragments include those described by Bondt et al., 2014, Mol. & Cell. Proteomics 13.11:3029-3039, Huang et al., 2006, Anal. Biochem. 349:197-207, and/or Song et al., 2014, Anal. Chem. 86:5661-5666.


Homogeneity or heterogeneity of the glycan patterns associated with antibodies (including antigen-binding fragments), as it relates to both glycan length or size and numbers glycans present across glycosylation sites, can be assessed using methods known in the art, e.g., methods that measure glycan length or size and hydrodynamic radius. HPLC, such as size exclusion, normal phase, reversed phase, and anion exchange HPLC, as well as capillary electrophoresis, allows the measurement of the hydrodynamic radius. Higher numbers of glycosylation sites in a protein lead to higher variation in hydrodynamic radius compared to a carrier with less glycosylation sites. However, when single glycan chains are analyzed, they may be more homogenous due to the more controlled length. Glycan length can be measured by hydrazinolysis, SDS PAGE, and capillary gel electrophoresis. In addition, homogeneity can also mean that certain glycosylation site usage patterns change to a broader/narrower range. These factors can be measured by Glycopeptide LC-MS/MS.


In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAbs, or antigen binding fragments thereof, also do not contain detectable NeuGc and/or α-Gal. By “detectable NeuGc” or “detectable α-Gal” or “does not contain or does not have NeuGc or α-Gal” means herein that the HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment, does not contain NeuGc or α-Gal moieties detectable by standard assay methods known in the art. For example, NeuGc may be detected by HPLC according to Hara et al., 1989, “Highly Sensitive Determination of N-Acetyl- and N-Glycolylneuraminic Acids in Human Serum and Urine and Rat Serum by Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection.” J. Chromatogr., B: Biomed. 377, 111-119, which is hereby incorporated by reference for the method of detecting NeuGc. Alternatively, NeuGc may be detected by mass spectrometry. The α-Gal may be detected using an ELISA, see, for example, Galili et al., 1998, “A sensitive assay for measuring α-Gal epitope expression on cells by a monoclonal anti-Gal antibody.” Transplantation. 65(8):1129-32, or by mass spectrometry, see, for example, Ayoub et al., 2013, “Correct primary structure assessment and extensive glyco-profiling of cetuximab by a combination of intact, middle-up, middle-down and bottom-up ESI and MALDI mass spectrometry techniques.” Landes Bioscience. 5(5):699-710. See also the references cited in Platts-Mills et al., 2015, “Anaphylaxis to the Carbohydrate Side-Chain Alpha-gal” Immunol Allergy Clin North Am. 35(2): 247-260.


Benefits of N-Glycosylation


N-glycosylation confers numerous benefits on the HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv described herein. Such benefits are unattainable by production of antigen-binding fragments in E. coli, because E. coli does not naturally possess components needed for N-glycosylation. Further, some benefits are unattainable through antibody production in, e.g., CHO cells (or murine cells such as NS0 cells), because CHO cells lack components needed for addition of certain glycans (e.g., 2,6 sialic acid and bisecting GlcNAc) and because either CHO or murine cell lines add N—N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (“Neu5Gc” or “NeuGc”) which is not natural to humans (and potentially immunogenic), instead of N-Acetylneuraminic acid (“Neu5Ac”) the predominant human sialic acid. See, e.g., Dumont et al., 2015, Crit. Rev. Biotechnol. 36(6):1110-1122; Huang et al., 2006, Anal. Biochem. 349:197-207 (NeuGc is the predominant sialic acid in murine cell lines such as SP2/0 and NS0); and Song et al., 2014, Anal. Chem. 86:5661-5666, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety). Moreover, CHO cells can also produce an immunogenic glycan, the α-Gal antigen, which reacts with anti-α-Gal antibodies present in most individuals, which at high concentrations can trigger anaphylaxis. See, e.g., Bosques, 2010, Nat. Biotech. 28:1153-1156. The human glycosylation pattern of the HuGlyFab of HuPTM scFv described herein should reduce immunogenicity of the transgene product and improve efficacy.


While non-canonical glycosylation sites usually result in low level glycosylation (e.g., 1-5%) of the antibody population, the functional benefits may be significant (See, e.g., van de Bovenkamp et al., 2016, J. Immunol. 196:1435-1441). For example, Fab glycosylation may affect the stability, half-life, and binding characteristics of an antibody. To determine the effects of Fab glycosylation on the affinity of the antibody for its target, any technique known to one of skill in the art may be used, for example, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), or surface plasmon resonance (SPR). To determine the effects of Fab glycosylation on the half-life of the antibody, any technique known to one of skill in the art may be used, for example, by measurement of the levels of radioactivity in the blood or organs in a subject to whom a radiolabelled antibody has been administered. To determine the effects of Fab glycosylation on the stability, for example, levels of aggregation or protein unfolding, of the antibody, any technique known to one of skill in the art may be used, for example, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), e.g., size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC), capillary electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, or turbidity measurement.


The presence of sialic acid on HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv used in the methods described herein can impact clearance rate of the HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv. Accordingly, sialic acid patterns of a HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv can be used to generate a therapeutic having an optimized clearance rate. Methods of assessing antigen-binding fragment clearance rate are known in the art. See, e.g., Huang et al., 2006, Anal. Biochem. 349:197-207.


In another specific embodiment, a benefit conferred by N-glycosylation is reduced aggregation. Occupied N-glycosylation sites can mask aggregation prone amino acid residues, resulting in decreased aggregation. Such N-glycosylation sites can be native to an antigen-binding fragment used herein or engineered into an antigen-binding fragment used herein, resulting in HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv that is less prone to aggregation when expressed, e.g., expressed in human cells. Methods of assessing aggregation of antibodies are known in the art. See, e.g., Courtois et al., 2016, mAbs 8:99-112 which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


In another specific embodiment, a benefit conferred by N-glycosylation is reduced immunogenicity. Such N-glycosylation sites can be native to an antigen-binding fragment used herein or engineered into an antigen-binding fragment used herein, resulting in HuPTM mAb, HuGlyFab or HuPTM scFv that is less prone to immunogenicity when expressed, e.g., expressed in human retinal cells, human CNS cells, human liver cells or human muscle cells.


In another specific embodiment, a benefit conferred by N-glycosylation is protein stability. N-glycosylation of proteins is well-known to confer stability on them, and methods of assessing protein stability resulting from N-glycosylation are known in the art. See, e.g., Sola and Griebenow, 2009, J Pharm Sci., 98(4): 1223-1245.


In another specific embodiment, a benefit conferred by N-glycosylation is altered binding affinity. It is known in the art that the presence of N-glycosylation sites in the variable domains of an antibody can increase the affinity of the antibody for its antigen. See, e.g., Bovenkamp et al., 2016, J. Immunol. 196:1435-1441. Assays for measuring antibody binding affinity are known in the art. See, e.g., Wright et al., 1991, EMBO J. 10:2717-2723; and Leibiger et al., 1999, Biochem. J. 338:529-538.


5.2.2 Tyrosine Sulfation

Tyrosine sulfation occurs at tyrosine (Y) residues with glutamate (E) or aspartate (D) within +5 to −5 position of Y, and where position −1 of Y is a neutral or acidic charged amino acid, but not a basic amino acid, e.g., arginine (R), lysine (K), or histidine (H) that abolishes sulfation. The HuGlyFabs and HuPTM scFvs described herein comprise tyrosine sulfation sites (see FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F).


Importantly, tyrosine-sulfated antigen-binding fragments cannot be produced in E. coli, which naturally does not possess the enzymes required for tyrosine-sulfation. Further, CHO cells are deficient for tyrosine sulfation—they are not secretory cells and have a limited capacity for post-translational tyrosine-sulfation. See, e.g., Mikkelsen & Ezban, 1991, Biochemistry 30: 1533-1537. Advantageously, the methods provided herein call for expression of HuPTM Fab in human cells that are secretory and have capacity for tyrosine sulfation.


Tyrosine sulfation is advantageous for several reasons. For example, tyrosine-sulfation of the antigen-binding fragment of therapeutic antibodies against targets has been shown to dramatically increase avidity for antigen and activity. See, e.g., Loos et al., 2015, PNAS 112: 12675-12680, and Choe et al., 2003, Cell 114: 161-170. Assays for detection tyrosine sulfation are known in the art. See, e.g., Yang et al., 2015, Molecules 20:2138-2164.


5.2.3 O-Glycosylation

O-glycosylation comprises the addition of N-acetyl-galactosamine to serine or threonine residues by the enzyme. It has been demonstrated that amino acid residues present in the hinge region of antibodies can be O-glycosylated. In certain embodiments, the HuGlyFab comprise all or a portion of their hinge region, and thus are capable of being O-glycosylated when expressed in human cells. The possibility of O-glycosylation confers another advantage to the HuGlyFab provided herein, as compared to, e.g., antigen-binding fragments produced in E. coli, again because the E. coli naturally does not contain machinery equivalent to that used in human O-glycosylation. (Instead, O-glycosylation in E. coli has been demonstrated only when the bacteria is modified to contain specific O-glycosylation machinery. See, e.g., Farid-Moayer et al., 2007, J. Bacteriol. 189:8088-8098.) O-glycosylated HuGlyFab, by virtue of possessing glycans, shares advantageous characteristics with N-glycosylated HuGlyFab (as discussed above).


5.3 Vectored Therapeutic Antibodies
5.3.1 Anti-ABeta HuPTM Constructs and Formulations for Alzheimer's Disease

Compositions and methods are described for the delivery of HuPTM mAbs and antigen-binding fragments thereof, such as HuPTM Fabs, that bind to amyloid beta (Aβ or Abeta) peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein that may have benefit in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the like. In particular embodiments, the HuPTM mAb is solanezumab, or GSK933776, or lecanemab, or an antigen binding fragment of one of the foregoing. The amino acid sequences of Fab fragments of these antibodies are provided in FIGS. 2A-C, respectively.

Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.1. Such vectors should have a tropism for human CNS cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV9, AAVrh10, AAVrh20, AAVrh39, or AAVcy5 capsid. The recombinant vectors can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the CNS, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). See Section 5.5.1 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-Aβ therapy. In particular embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with AD, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-Aβ antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-Aβ antibody.

Gene Therapy Methods


Provided are methods of treating human subjects for FD by administration of a viral vector containing a transgene encoding an anti-sortilin antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof. The antibody may be AL-001 and is, e.g., a Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof. In certain embodiments, the transgene encodes a full length or substantially full-length Al-001 mAb, including the Fc region. In certain embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with FD and/or has symptoms associated with FD or prodromal FD, e.g., a mild cognitive impairment associated with early FD or even pre-FD. Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.1. Such vectors should have a tropism for human CNS cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV9, AAVrh10, AAVrh20, AAVrh39, or AAVcy5 capsid. The recombinant vectors can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the CNS, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). See Section 5.5.1 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-sortilin therapy. In particular embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with FD, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-sortilin antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-sortilin antibody. In specific embodiments, the patients have previously been treated with AL-001, and have been found to be responsive to AL-001. To determine responsiveness, the anti-sortilin antibody or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in human cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.


Human Post Translationally Modified Antibodies


The production of the anti-sortilin HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab, should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of FD accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding the anti-sortilin HuPTM Fab or HuPTM mAb, intrathecally, particularly intracisternal or lumbar administration, or intravenous administration to human subjects (patients) diagnosed with or having one or more symptoms of FD, to create a permanent depot in the CNS that continuously supplies the fully-human post-translationally modified, e.g., human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by transduced CNS cells.


The cDNA construct for the anti-sortilin HuPTM mAb or anti-sortilin HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced CNS cells. For example, the signal sequence may be MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146).


As an alternative, or an additional treatment to gene therapy, the anti-sortilin HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab can be produced in human cell lines by recombinant DNA technology, and administered to patients diagnosed with FD, or for whom therapy for FD is considered appropriate.

Alternatively or in addition to, the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding-fragment thereof with the heavy and light chain variable domain sequences of AL-001 has a sulfation group at Y94 and/or Y95 of the heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 5) or Y86 and/or Y87 of the light chain (SEQ ID NO: 6). In other embodiments, the anti-sortilin HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof does not contain any detectable (e.g., as detected by assays known in the art, for example, those described in section 5.2, infra) NeuGc moieties and/or does not contain any detectable (e.g., as detected by assays known in the art, for example, those described in section 5.2, infra) alpha-Gal moieties. In certain embodiments, the anti-sortilin-HuPTM mAb is a full length mAb with an Fc region, e.g., the Fc domain of SEQ ID NO: 283, SEQ ID NO: 284 or SEQ ID NO: 285, or a mutant or variant thereof.


In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or Fab is therapeutically effective and is at least 0.5%, 1% or 2% 2,6 sialylated and/or sulfated and may be at least 5%, 10% or even 50% or 100% glycosylated 2,6 sialylation and/or sulfated. The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein is to slow or arrest the progression of FD, particular cognitive impairment. Efficacy may be monitored by measuring an improvement in cognitive function and/or a reduction in the deterioration in behavior, personality and/or difficulty with producing or comprehending language.


Combinations of delivery of the anti-sortilin HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof, to the CNS accompanied by delivery of other available treatments are encompassed by the methods provided herein. The additional treatments may be administered before, concurrently or subsequent to the gene therapy treatment.

Gene Therapy Methods


Provided are methods of treating human subjects for PD, DLB, PAF, MSA, or other synulceinopathies by administration of a viral vector containing a transgene encoding an anti-SNCA antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof. The antibody may be prasinezumab, NI-202 (BIIB054), or MED-1341, and is e.g. a Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof. In other embodiments, the transgene encodes a full length or substantially full-length antibody with Fc region. In certain embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with PD or other synulceinopathies, e.g., a mild cognitive and/or motor skill impairment associated with early PD or even pre-PD. Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.1. Such vectors should have a tropism for human CNS cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV9, AAVrh10, AAVrh20, AAVrh39, or AAVcy5 capsid. The recombinant vectors can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the CNS, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). See Section 5.5.1 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-SNCA therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with PD, DLB, PAF, or MSA, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-SNCA antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-SNCA antibody. In specific embodiments, the patients have previously been treated with prasinezumab, NI-202 (B1113054) and/or MED-1341, and have been found to be responsive to prasinezumab, NI-202 (BIIB054) and/or MED-1341. To determine responsiveness, the anti-SNCA antibody or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in human cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.

The production of the anti-SNCA HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab, should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of PD, DLB, PAF, or MSA accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding the anti-SNCA HuPTM Fab or HuPTM mAb, intrathecally, particularly intracisternal or lumbar administration, or intravenous administration to human subjects (patients) diagnosed with or having one or more symptoms of PD, DLB, PAF, or MSA, to create a permanent depot in the CNS that continuously supplies the fully-human post-translationally modified, e.g., human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by transduced CNS cells.


The cDNA construct for the anti-SNCA HuPTMmAb or anti-SNCA HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced CNS cells. For example, the signal sequence may be MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146).

Gene Therapy Methods


Provided are methods of treating human subjects for AD or ALS by administration of a viral vector containing a transgene encoding an anti-SOD1 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof. The antibody may be NI-202 and is, e.g., a Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof. In certain embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with prodromal AD, e.g., a mild cognitive impairment associated with early AD or even pre-AD, or ALS.


Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.1. Such vectors should have a tropism for human CNS cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV9, AAVrh10, AAVrh20, AAVrh39, or AAVcy5 capsid. The recombinant vectors can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the CNS, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). See Section 5.5.1 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-SOD1 therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with AD or ALS, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-SOD1 antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-SOD1 antibody.

To determine responsiveness, the anti-SOD1 antibody or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in human cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.


Human Post Translationally Modified Antibodies

The cDNA construct for the anti-SOD1 HuPTMmAb or anti-SOD1 HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced CNS cells. For example, the signal sequence may be MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146).

Gene Therapy Methods


Provided are methods of treating human subjects for migraines and cluster headaches by administration of a viral vector containing a transgene encoding an anti-CGRPR antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof. The antibody may be eptinezumab, fremanezumab, or galcanezumab and is, e.g., a Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof or is a full length anti-CGRPR antibody with an Fc region. In certain embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with episodic migraines or chronic migraines. In certain embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with episodic cluster headaches or chronic cluster headaches. Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgenes are described in Section 5.4.1 and shown in FIGS. 8A-C. Such vectors should have a tropism for human CNS cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV9, AAVrh10, AAVrh20, AAVrh39, or AAVcy5 capsid. The recombinant vectors can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the CNS, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). See Section 5.5.1 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-CGRPR therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with migraines or cluster headaches or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-CGRPR antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-CGRPR antibody. In specific embodiments, the patients have previously been treated with eptinezumab, fremanezumab, or galcanezumab, and have been found to be responsive to one or more of eptinezumab, fremanezumab, and galcanezumab.

The antibody may be elenazumab and is, for example, a full length antibody or Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof. In embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with MS. Recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.1 and 5.4.2. In some embodiments, such vectors should have a tropism for human liver cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid.

See 5.5.2 for details regarding the methods of treatment. In other embodiments, such vectors should have a tropism for human CNS cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV9, AAVrh10, AAVrh20, AAVrh39, or AAVcy5 capsid. The recombinant vector, such as shown in FIG. 13, can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the CNS, e.g. by introducing the recombinant vector into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). See Section 5.5.1 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-RGMa therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with MS, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-RGMa antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-RGMa antibody.

To determine responsiveness, the anti-RGMa antibody or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.


Human Post Translationally Modified Antibodies


The production of the anti-RGMa HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab, should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of MS accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding the anti-RGMa HuPTM Fab, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously to human subjects (patients) diagnosed with or having one or more symptoms of MS, to create a permanent depot in the liver, muscle or CNS tissue that continuously supplies the fully-human post-translationally modified, such as human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by transduced liver, muscle or CNS cells.


The cDNA construct for the anti-RGMa HuPTMmAb or anti-RGMa HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced liver or muscle cells. For example, the signal sequence may be MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146). Alternatively, in some embodiments, the signal sequence may have an amino acid sequence selected from any one of the signal sequences set forth in Tables 2, 3 or 4 that correspond to the proteins secreted by CNS cells, myocytes or hepatocytes, respectively.

The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein is to slow or arrest the progression of MS, particularly a reduction in pain and discomfort for the patient and/or improvements in mobility. Efficacy may be monitored by scoring the symptoms or degree of lesions in the affected tissue. For example, with regard to MS, efficacy can be monitored by assessing frequency of relapses (e.g., Annualized Relapse Rate), physical disability status (e.g., scoring Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)), and biological markers, including brain scans using MRI (e.g., evaluation of T1-weighted gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions and T2-hyperintense lesions through magnetic resonance imaging).


Combinations of delivery of the anti-RGMa HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof, to the CNS, liver, or muscles accompanied by delivery of other available treatments are encompassed by the methods provided herein. The additional treatments may be administered before, concurrently, or subsequent to the gene therapy treatment.

Gene Therapy Methods


Provided are methods of treating human subjects for one or more fibrotic disorders (such as IPF) by administration of a viral vector containing a transgene encoding an anti-CTGF antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof. The antibody may be pamrevlumab, and is e.g. a full length or substantially full length antibody or Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof. In embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with one or more fibrotic disorders.


Recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.3. For delivery to the liver, recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.2. Such vectors should have a tropism for human liver cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid. The recombinant vectors, such as those shown in FIG. 15, can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the liver, e.g. by introducing the recombinant vector into the bloodstream. See Section 5.5.2 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-CTGF therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with one or more fibrotic disorders, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-CTGF antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-CTGF antibody. In specific embodiments, the patients have previously been treated with pamrevlumab, and have been found to be responsive to pamrevlumab. To determine responsiveness, the anti-CTGF or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.


Human Post Translationally Modified Antibodies

The production of the anti-CTGF HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab, should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of one or more fibrotic disorders accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding the anti-CTGF HuPTM Fab, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously to human subjects (patients) diagnosed with one or more fibrotic disorders, to create a permanent depot in the liver or muscle that continuously supplies the fully-human post-translationally modified, e.g., human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by transduced cells of the liver or muscle.


The cDNA construct for the anti-CTGF HuPTMmAb or anti-CTGF HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced cells of the muscle or liver. For example, the signal sequence may be MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146). Alternatively, the signal sequence may have an amino acid sequence selected from any one of the signal sequences set forth in Table 3 or 4 that correspond to the proteins secreted by cells of the muscle or liver, respectively.

Alternatively or in addition to, the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding-fragment thereof with the heavy and light chain variable domain sequences of pamrevlumab has a sulfation group at Y94 and/or Y95 of the heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 57) and/or Y30, Y85 and/or Y86 of the light chain (SEQ ID NO: 58). In other embodiments, the anti-CTGF HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof does not contain detectable NeuGc moieties and/or does not contain detectable alpha-Gal moieties. In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb is a full length or substantially full length mAb with an Fc region.


In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or Fab is therapeutically effective and is at least 0.5%, 1% or 2% glycosylated and/or sulfated and may be at least 5%, 10% or even 50% or 100% glycosylated and/or sulfated. The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein is to slow or arrest the progression of the disease being treated or alleviate one or more symptoms thereof. In the case of CF, efficacy can be monitored by assessing Forced Expiratory Volume in is (FEV1), decreased frequency of pulmonary exacerbations, quality of life (QoL) improvement, and, for younger patients, growth improvement. (e.g., see VanDevanter and Konstan, “Outcome measurement for clinical trials assessing treatment of cystic fibrosis lung disease,” Clin. Investig. 2(2):163-175 (2012)). In the case of pulmonary fibrosis, efficacy can be monitored by assessing the lung vital capacity (LVC), desaturation with exertion, and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). In the case of IPF, efficacy may be monitored by assessing the level of dyspnoea, FVC, DLCO, desaturation during the 6-min walk test, extent of honeycombing on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), or presence of pulmonary hypertension or emphysema.

In the case of atrial fibrosis, efficacy may be monitored by localizing and quantifying the degree of structural remodeling (SRM) and/or fibrosis in the atrium using contrast-media enhanced delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI). In the case of endomyocardial fibrosis, efficacy may be monitored by assessing fibrotic lesions of the inner lining of the heart cavities. In the case of arthrofibrosis, efficacy may be monitored by assessing the extent of involvement by fibrosis in the affected joint (e.g., MRI). In the case of Crohn's disease, efficacy may be monitored by assessing the level of serological markers (e.g., fibronectin, CRP, bFGF, ASCA) and/or the degree of fibrotic lesions using advanced imaging technologies. In the case of mediastinal fibrosis, efficacy may be monitored by assessing the presence and/or degree of fibrosis, polymorphic inflammatory infiltrates and phlebitis by using contrast-enhanced CT. In the case of myelofibrosis, efficacy may be monitored by assessing changes in the level of inflammatory cytokine in the serum, blood counts (PLT, WBC, RBC), degree of fibrosis (reticulin and collagen) in the bone marrow, spleen size, and/or constitutional symptoms compared to baseline. In the case of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, efficacy may be monitored by assessing changes in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from baseline, quantification of fibrotic and/or darkened of the skin, and/or reduction in burning, itching and/or severe sharp pains in areas of involvement. In the case of progressive massive fibrosis, efficacy may be monitored by improvement of pulmonary function and/or reduction in the size of conglomerate masses of dense fibrosis in the lungs. In the case of retroperitoneal fibrosis, the efficacy may be monitored by assessing decreased pain in the lower back and/or abdomen, improvement of anemia, abnormal discoloration of the skin, and/or quality of life.

Gene Therapy Methods


Provided are methods of treating human subjects for IBD by administration of a viral vector containing a transgene encoding an anti-ITGB7 antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof. The antibody may be etrolizumab and is, e.g., a full length or substantially full length antibody or Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof. In embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with one or more of IBD.


Recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.3. Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.2. Such vectors should have a tropism for human liver cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid. The recombinant vectors, such as those shown in FIG. 17, can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the liver, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the bloodstream. See Section 5.5.2 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-ITGB7 therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with IBD, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-ITGB7 antibody, or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-ITGB7 antibody. In specific embodiments, the patients have previously been treated with etrolizumab, and have been found to be responsive to etrolizumab. To determine responsiveness, the anti-ITGB7 or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.


Human Post Translationally Modified Antibodies


The production of the anti-ITGB7 HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab, should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of IBD accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding the anti-ITGB7 HuPTM Fab, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously to human subjects (patients) diagnosed with IBD, to create a permanent depot in the muscle or liver that continuously supplies the fully-human post-translationally modified, e.g., human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by transduced cells of the muscle or liver.


The cDNA construct for the anti-ITGB7 HuPTMmAb or anti-ITGB7 HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced cells of the muscle or liver. For example, the signal sequence may be MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146). Alternatively, the signal sequence may have an amino acid sequence selected from any one of the signal sequences set forth in Table 3 or 4 that correspond to the proteins secreted by cells of the muscle or liver, respectively.


As an alternative, or an additional treatment to gene therapy, the anti-ITGB7 HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab can be produced in human cell lines by recombinant DNA technology and administered to patients diagnosed with a retinal disorder or cancer for whom therapy for IBD is considered appropriate.

In other embodiments, the anti-ITGB7 HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof does not contain detectable NeuGc moieties and/or does not contain detectable alpha-Gal moieties. In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb is a full length or substantially full length mAb with an Fc region.


In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or Fab is therapeutically effective and is at least 0.5%, 1% or 2% glycosylated and/or sulfated and may be at least 5%, 10% or even 50% or 100% glycosylated and/or sulfated. The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein is to slow or arrest the progression of the disease being treated or alleviate one or more symptoms thereof. With regard to CD, efficacy can be monitored by assessing Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] over the course of treatment (e.g., see Best W R et al. (1976) Gastroenterology, March; 70(3):439-44, “Development of a Crohn's disease activity index. National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study.”). With regard to UC, efficacy can be monitored by assessing a Mayo score and an endoscopy subscore over the course of treatment (e.g., see Lobaton et al., “The Modified Mayo Endoscopic Score (MMES): A New Index for the Assessment of Extension and Severity of Endoscopic Activity in Ulcerative Colitis Patients,” J. Crohns Colitis. 2015 October: 9(10):846-52.

In embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptom(s) associated with non-infectious uveitis. Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.3. Such vectors should have a tropism for human retina-type cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV8 capsid. Alternatively, vectors bearing an AAV2.7m8 or AAV9 capsid can be used for ocular indications. The recombinant vectors, such as the ones shown in FIG. 10B, 10D, 12A-C, or 16A-I, can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the retina, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the eye. See Section 5.5.3 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-IL6R, anti-IL6, anti-TNFα, or anti-C5 therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with non-infectious uveitis, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with anti-IL6R, anti-IL6, anti-TNFα, or anti-C5 antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-IL6R, anti-IL6, anti-TNFα, or anti-C5 antibody.

To determine responsiveness, the anti-IL6R, anti-IL6, anti-TNFα, or anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.


Human Post Translationally Modified Antibodies


The production of the anti-IL6R, anti-IL6, anti-TNFα, or anti-C5 HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab, should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding the anti-IL6R, anti-IL6, anti-TNFα, or anti-C5 HuPTM Fab, subretinally, intravitreally, or suprachoroidally to human subjects (patients) diagnosed with or having one or more symptoms of non-infectious uveitis, to create a permanent depot in the retina that continuously supplies the fully-human post-translationally modified, e.g., human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by transduced cells of the retina.


In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or Fab is therapeutically effective and is at least 0.5%, 1% or 2% glycosylated and/or sulfated and may be at least 5%, 10% or even 50% or 100% glycosylated and/or sulfated. The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein is to slow or arrest the progression of or relieve one or more symptoms of non-infectious uveitis, such as to reduce the levels of pain, redness of the eye, sensitivity to light, and/or other discomfort for the patient. Efficacy may be monitored by measuring a reduction in pain, redness of the eye, and/or photophobia and/or an improvement in vision. Efficacy may also be assessed by monitoring best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and/or performing applanation tonometry, slit-lamp examination of the anterior and posterior segments, dilated indirect ophthalmoscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OTC), and comparing to baseline values.


In specific embodiments, the anti-C5, anti-IL6, anti-IL6R, or anti-TNFα HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof has heavy and light chains with the amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chain Fab portions as set forth in FIG. 10B, 10D, 12A-12C, or 16A-16I (with glutamine (Q) glycosylation sites; asparaginal (N) glycosylation sites, non-consensus asparaginal (N) glycosylation sites; and tyrosine-O-sulfation sites (Y) are as indicated in the legend) has a glycosylation, particularly a 2,6-sialylation, at one or more of the amino acid positions. Alternatively or in addition to, the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding-fragment thereof with the heavy and light chain variable domain sequences has a sulfation group of the heavy chain and/or of the light chain. In other embodiments, the anti-C5, anti-IL6, anti-IL6R, or anti-TNFα HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof does not contain detectable NeuGc moieties and/or does not contain detectable alpha-Gal moieties. In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb is a full length or substantially full length mAb with an Fc region. See Sections 5.3.9, 5.3.11, or 5.3.15 for a detailed description of Y-sulfation sites and other post-translational modifications.


In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or Fab is therapeutically effective and is at least 0.5%, 1% or 2% glycosylated and/or sulfated and may be at least 5%, 10% or even 50% or 100% glycosylated and/or sulfated. The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein is to slow or arrest the progression of or relieve one or more symptoms of non-infectious uveitis. Efficacy may be monitored by monitoring vision acuity, redness of the eye, sensitivity to light, and/or eye pain. For example, efficacy can be monitored by assessing change in vision acuity, redness of the eye, sensitivity to light, and/or eye pain from baseline.


Combinations of delivery of the anti-IL6, anti-IL6R, anti-TNFα, or anti-C5 HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof, to the retina accompanied by delivery of other available treatments are encompassed by the methods provided herein. The additional treatments may be administered before, concurrently, or subsequent to the gene therapy treatment. Available treatments for a subject with non-infectious uveitis that could be combined with the gene therapy provided herein include but are not limited to, azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, corticosteroids (local and/or systemic (oral and/or inhaled)), and others and administration with anti-TNFα, anti-IL6, anti-IL6R, or anti-C5 agents, including but not limited to adalimumab, infliximab, or golimumab.


Constructs for Delivery to Retinal Cell Types


Sections 5.3.9, 5.3.11, and 5.3.15 describe recombinant vectors that contain a transgene encoding a HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab (or other antigen binding fragment of the HuPTM mAb) that binds to C5, TNFα, IL6R, and IL6. Such recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene can have a tropism for one or more human retina cell types. Such vectors can include non-replicating recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors (“rAAV”), e.g., those bearing an AAV8 capsid. Alternatively, an AAV vector bearing an AAV2.7m8 capsid can be used. However, other viral vectors may be used, including but not limited to lentiviral vectors, vaccinia viral vectors, or non-viral expression vectors referred to as “naked DNA” constructs.


In preferred embodiments, provided are constructs for gene therapy administration to a human subject, comprising an AAV vector, which comprises a viral capsid that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of an AAV8 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 143) or an AAV2.7m8 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 142); and a viral or artificial genome comprising an expression cassette flanked by AAV inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) wherein the expression cassette comprises a transgene encoding the heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibody, operably linked to one or more regulatory sequences that control expression of the transgene in human cells (e.g., retina cell or liver cell types) that express and deliver the therapeutic antibody in a therapeutically appropriate manner as disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, the encoded AAV8 or AAV2.7m8 capsid has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 143 or 142 with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 amino acid substitutions, particularly substitutions with amino acid residues found in the corresponding position in other AAV capsids, for example, in the SUBS row of FIG. 21 which provides a comparison of the amino acid sequences of the capsid sequences of various AAVs, highlighting amino acids appropriate for substitution at different positions within the capsid sequence.


In some embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding fragment thereof, including the HuPTM Fab transgene should be controlled by appropriate expression control elements for expression of the HuPTM Fab or HuPTM Mab in human retina or liver cell types, for example, CB7 promoter (a chicken β-actin promoter and CMV enhancer/CAG, SEQ ID NO: 411), or tissue-specific promoters, and can include other expression control elements that enhance expression of the transgene driven by the vector. Promoter sequences and sequences of other regulatory elements, such as introns, are provided in Table 1.


Gene therapy constructs for antibodies or Fabs are designed such that both the heavy and light chains are expressed. More specifically, the heavy and light chains should be expressed at about equal amounts, in other words, the heavy and light chains are expressed at approximately a 1:1 ratio of heavy chains to light chains. The coding sequences for the heavy and light chains can be engineered in a single construct in which the heavy and light chains are separated by a cleavable linker or IRES so that separate heavy and light chain polypeptides are expressed. The leader sequence for each of the heavy and light chains is, e.g., MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146). Section 5.1.5, supra, provides specific IRES, 2A, and other linker sequences that can be used with the methods and compositions provided herein. In specific embodiments, the linker is a Furin-2A linker, for example a Furin-F2A linker RKRR(GSG)APVKQTLNFDLLKLAGDVESNPGP (SEQ ID NO: 231) or a Furin-T2A linker RKRR(GSG)EGRGSLLTCGDVEENPGP (SEQ ID NO: 429). In specific embodiments, the transgene is a nucleotide sequence that encodes the following: Signal sequence-heavy chain Fab portion-Furin-(F/T)2A linker-signal sequence-light chain Fab portion. See FIGS. 10B and 10D for sequences for tesidolumab and ravulizumab Fab expression, respectively; FIGS. 12A to 12C for a sequence for adalimumab, infliximab, and golimumab Fab expression, respectively; and FIGS. 16A to 16I for sequences for satralizumab, sarilumab, siltuximab, clazakizumab, sirukumab, olokizumab, gerilimzumab, and tocilizumab, inebilizumab Fab expression, respectively. In an alternative embodiment, the construct also comprises the nucleotide sequence encoding the Fc domain for the therapeutic antibody (see Table 7 or FIG. 23) for expression of the full length mAb. Nucleotide sequences for adalimumab mAb and Fab single chain construct transgenes are described in Table 17.

Delivery may be accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding an C5-binding HuPTM mAb (or an antigen binding fragment and/or a hyperglycosylated derivative or other derivative, thereof) to patients (human subjects) diagnosed with myasthenia gravis to create a permanent depot that continuously supplies the human PTM, e.g., human-glycosylated, transgene product.


Transgenes


Provided are recombinant vectors containing a transgene encoding a HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab (or other antigen binding fragment of the HuPTM mAb) that binds to C5 that can be administered to deliver the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding fragment in a patient. The transgene is a nucleic acid comprising the nucleotide sequences encoding an antigen binding fragment of an antibody that binds to C5, such as ravulizumab or variants thereof as detailed herein. The transgene may also encode an anti-C5 antigen binding fragment that contains additional glycosylation sites (e.g., see Courtois et al.).


In certain embodiments, the anti-C5 antigen-binding fragment transgene comprises the nucleotide sequences encoding the heavy and light chains of the Fab portion of ravulizumab (having amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs. 362 and 363, respectively, see Table 5 and FIG. 10D). The nucleotide sequences may be codon optimized for expression in human cells. Nucleotide sequences may, for example, comprise the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NO: 378 (encoding the ravulizumab heavy chain Fab portion) and SEQ ID NO: 379 (encoding the ravulizumab light chain Fab portion) as set forth in Table 6. The heavy and light chain sequences both have a signal or leader sequence at the N-terminus appropriate for expression and secretion in human cells, in particular, human liver cells (e.g., hepatocytes) or muscle cells. The signal sequence may have the amino acid sequence of MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146). Alternatively, the signal sequence may have an amino acid sequence selected from any one of the signal sequences set forth in Table 3 or 4 that correspond to the proteins secreted by myocytes or hepatocytes, respectively.


In addition to the heavy and light chain variable domain and CH1 and CL domain sequences, the transgenes may comprise, at the C-terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain sequence, all or a portion of the hinge region. In specific embodiments, the anti-C5-antigen binding domain has a heavy chain Fab domain of SEQ ID NO: 362 with additional hinge region sequence starting after the C-terminal valine (V), contains all or a portion of the amino acid sequence contains all or a portion of the amino acid sequence ERKCCVECPPCPAPPVAG (SEQ ID NO: 220) or ERKCCVECPPCPA (SEQ ID NO: 221) as set forth in FIG. 10D. These hinge regions may be encoded by nucleotide sequences at the 3′ end of SEQ ID NO: 378 by the hinge region encoding sequences set forth in Table 6 (SEQ ID NO: 378). In another embodiment, the transgenes comprise the amino acid sequences encoding the full length (or substantially full length) heavy and light chains of the antibody, comprising the Fc domain at the C terminus of the heavy chain, e.g having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 393 (Table 7) or an IgG2 Fc domain, such as SEQ ID No. 284 or as depicted in FIG. 23, or a mutant or variant thereof. The Fc domain may be engineered for altered binding to one or more Fc receptors and/or effector function as disclosed in Section 5.1.9, infra.


In certain embodiments, the anti-C5 antigen-binding fragment transgene encodes an C5 antigen-binding fragment comprising a light chain comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 363. In certain embodiments, the anti-C5 antigen-binding fragment transgene encodes an C5 antigen-binding fragment comprising a heavy chain comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 362. In certain embodiments, the anti-C5 antigen-binding fragment transgene encodes an antigen-binding fragment comprising a light chain comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 363 and a heavy chain comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 362. In specific embodiments, the C5 antigen binding fragment comprises a heavy chain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 362 with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or more amino acid substitutions, insertions or deletions, and the substitutions, insertions or deletions are made, e.g., in the framework regions (e.g., those regions outside of the CDRs, which CDRs are underlined in FIG. 10D) or are substitutions with an amino acid present at that position in the heavy chain of one or more of the other therapeutic antibodies, for example, as identified by the alignment in FIG. 20A. In specific embodiments, the C5 antigen binding fragment comprises a light chain comprising an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 363 with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or more amino acid substitutions, insertions or deletions, and the substitutions, insertions or deletions are made, e.g., in the framework regions (e.g., those regions outside of the CDRs, which CDRs are underlined in FIG. 10D) or are substitutions with an amino acid present at that position in the light chain of one or more of the other therapeutic antibodies, for example, as identified by the alignment in FIG. 20B.


In certain embodiments, the anti-C5 antigen-binding fragment transgene encodes a hyperglycosylated ravulizumab Fab, comprising a heavy chain and a light chain of SEQ ID NOs: 363 and 362, respectively, with one or more of the following mutations L117N (heavy chain), Q160N or Q160S (light chain), and/or E195N (light chain) (see FIG. 20A (heavy chain) and B (light chain)).


In certain embodiments, the anti-C5 antigen-binding fragment transgene encodes an antigen-binding fragment and comprises the nucleotide sequences encoding the six romosozumab CDRs which are underlined in the heavy and light chain variable domain sequences of FIG. 10D which are spaced between framework regions, generally human framework regions, and associated with constant domains depending upon the form of the antigen-binding molecule, as is known in the art to form the heavy and/or light chain variable domain of an anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.


Gene Therapy Methods


Provided are methods of treating human subjects for myasthenia gravis by administration of a viral vector containing a transgene encoding an anti-C5 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof. The antibody may be ravulizumab, and is e.g. a full length or substantially full length antibody or Fab fragment thereof, or other antigen-binding fragment thereof. In embodiments, the patient has been diagnosed with and/or has symptoms associated with myasthenia gravis. Recombinant vectors used for delivering the transgene are described in Section 5.4.2. Such vectors should have a tropism for human liver or muscle cells and can include non-replicating rAAV, particularly those bearing an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid. The recombinant vector, such as shown in FIG. 10D, can be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the liver or muscle tissue, e.g., by introducing the recombinant vector into the bloodstream. See Section 5.5.2 for details regarding the methods of treatment.


Subjects to whom such gene therapy is administered can be those responsive to anti-C5 therapy. In certain embodiments, the methods encompass treating patients who have been diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, or have one or more symptoms associated therewith, and identified as responsive to treatment with an anti-C5 antibody or considered a good candidate for therapy with an anti-C5 antibody. In specific embodiments, the patients have previously been treated with ravulizumab, and have been found to be responsive to ravulizumab. To determine responsiveness, the anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment transgene product (e.g., produced in cell culture, bioreactors, etc.) may be administered directly to the subject.


Human Post Translationally Modified Antibodies


The production of the anti-C5 HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab, should result in a “biobetter” molecule for the treatment of myasthenia gravis accomplished via gene therapy—e.g., by administering a viral vector or other DNA expression construct encoding the anti-C5 HuPTM Fab, intravenously to human subjects (patients) diagnosed with or having one or more symptoms of osteoporosis or bone loss, to create a permanent depot in the liver or muscle tissue that continuously supplies the fully-human post-translationally modified, e.g., human-glycosylated, sulfated transgene product produced by transduced liver or muscle cells.


The cDNA construct for the anti-C5 HuPTMmAb or anti-C5 HuPTM Fab should include a signal peptide that ensures proper co- and post-translational processing (glycosylation and protein sulfation) by the transduced liver or muscle cells. For example, the signal sequence may be MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146). Alternatively, the signal sequence may have an amino acid sequence selected from any one of the signal sequences set forth in Table 3 or 4 that correspond to the proteins secreted by myocytes or hepatocytes, respectively.


As an alternative, or an additional treatment to gene therapy, the anti-C5 HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab can be produced in human cell lines by recombinant DNA technology, and administered to patients diagnosed with osteoporosis or bone loss, or for whom therapy for osteoporosis or bone loss is considered appropriate.


In specific embodiments, the anti-C5 HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof has heavy and light chains with the amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chain Fab portions of ravulizumab as set forth in FIG. 10D (with glutamine (Q) glycosylation sites; asparaginal (N) glycosylation sites, non-consensus asparaginal (N) glycosylation sites; and tyrosine-O-sulfation sites (Y) are as indicated in the legend) has a glycosylation, particularly a 2,6-sialylation, at one or more of the amino acid positions N63, N106, Q114, N164, N197, and/or N206 of the heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 362) or N28, Q100, N158, and/or N210 of the light chain (SEQ ID NO: 363). Alternatively or in addition to, the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding-fragment thereof with the heavy and light chain variable domain sequences of ravulizumab has a sulfation group at Y94 and/or Y95 of the heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 362) and/or Y86 and/or Y86 of the light chain (SEQ ID NO: 363). In other embodiments, the anti-C5 HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof does not contain detectable NeuGc moieties and/or does not contain detectable alpha-Gal moieties. In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb is a full length or substantially full length mAb with an Fc region.


In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or Fab is therapeutically effective and is at least 0.5%, 1% or 2% glycosylated and/or sulfated and may be at least 5%, 10% or even 50% or 100% glycosylated and/or sulfated. The goal of gene therapy treatment provided herein is to slow or arrest the progression of myasthenia gravis. Efficacy may be monitored by evaluating changes in endurance or fatigability from baseline, e.g. by using the Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis Score (QMGS), Manual Muscle Test (MMT), and/or Myasthenia Muscle Score (see Barnett C et al. Neurol Clin. 2018 May; 36(2): 339-353). For example, the QMSC score assesses changes in ptosis, diplopia, orbicularis oculi weakness, swallowing a cup of water, speech, percent predicted forced vital capacity, grip strength (2 items), arm endurance (2 items), leg endurance (2 items), and neck flexion endurance.


Combinations of delivery of the anti-C5 HuPTM mAb or antigen-binding fragment thereof, to the liver or muscles accompanied by delivery of other available treatments are encompassed by the methods provided herein. The additional treatments may be administered before, concurrently, or subsequent to the gene therapy treatment. Available treatments for myasthenia gravis that could be combined with the gene therapy provided herein include but are not limited to pyridostigmine, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants, and administration with anti-C5 agents, including but not limited to ravulizumab.

5.4 Delivery of Gene Therapy Constructs
5.4.1 Constructs for Delivery to CNS

Sections 5.3.1, 5.3.2, 5.3.3, 5.3.4, 5.3.5., 5.3.6., and 5.3.7. describe recombinant vectors that contain a transgene encoding a HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab (or other antigen binding fragment of the HuPTM mAb) that binds to Aβ, sortilin, Tau protein, SEMA4D, alpha-synuclein, SOD1, and CGRPR, respectively. Such recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene should have a tropism for human CNS cells, such as glial and neuronal cells. Such vectors can include non-replicating recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors (“rAAV”), particularly those bearing an AAV9, AAVrh10, AAVrh20, AAVrh39, or AAVcy5 capsid. However, other viral vectors may be used, including but not limited to lentiviral vectors, vaccinia viral vectors, or non-viral expression vectors referred to as “naked DNA” constructs.


In specific embodiments, provided are constructs for gene therapy administration to a human subject, comprising an AAV vector, which comprises a viral capsid that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of an AAV9 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 144); and a viral or artificial genome comprising an expression cassette flanked by AAV inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) wherein the expression cassette comprises a transgene encoding the heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibody, operably linked to one or more regulatory sequences that control expression of the transgene in human cells that express and deliver the therapeutic antibody in a therapeutically appropriate manner as disclosed herein, particularly expressed from CNS cells. In certain embodiments, the encoded AAV9 capsid has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 144 with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 amino acid substitutions, particularly substitutions with amino acid residues found in the corresponding position in other AAV capsids, for example, in the SUBS row of FIG. 21 which provides a comparison of the amino acid sequences of the capsid sequences of various AAVs, highlighting amino acids appropriate for substitution at different positions within the capsid sequence.


In other specific embodiments, provided are constructs for gene therapy administration to a human subject, comprising an AAV vector, which comprises a viral capsid that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of an AAVrh10 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 145); and a viral or artificial genome comprising an expression cassette flanked by AAV inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) wherein the expression cassette comprises a transgene encoding the heavy and light chains of the therapeutic antibody, operably linked to one or more regulatory sequences that control expression of the transgene in human cells that express and deliver the therapeutic antibody in a therapeutically appropriate manner as disclosed herein, particularly from CNS cells. In certain embodiments, the encoded AAVrh10 capsid has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 145 with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 amino acid substitutions, particularly substitutions with amino acid residues found in the corresponding position in other AAV capsids, for example, in the SUBS row of FIG. 21 which provides a comparison of the amino acid sequences of the capsid sequences of various AAVs, highlighting amino acids appropriate for substitution at different positions within the capsid sequence.


In some embodiments, the HuPTM mAb or antigen binding fragment thereof, including the HuPTM Fab transgene should be controlled by appropriate expression control elements for expression of the HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab in human CNS cells, for example, the CB7 promoter (a chicken β-actin promoter and CMV enhancer), RSV promoter, GFAP promoter (glial fibrillary acidic protein), MBP promoter (myelin basic protein), MMT promoter, EF-1α, U86 promoter, RPE65 promoter or opsin promoter, an inducible promoter, for example, a hypoxia-inducible promoter or a drug inducible promoter, such as a promoters induced by rapamycin and related agents, and other expression control elements that enhance expression of the transgene driven by the vector (e.g., introns such as the chicken β-actin intron, minute virus of mice (MVM) intron, human factor IX intron (e.g., FIX truncated intron 1), β-globin splice donor/immunoglobulin heavy chain spice acceptor intron, adenovirus splice donor/immunoglobulin splice acceptor intron, SV40 late splice donor/splice acceptor (19S/16S) intron, and hybrid adenovirus splice donor/IgG splice acceptor intron and polyA signals such as the rabbit β-globin polyA signal, human growth hormone (hGH) polyA signal, SV40 late polyA signal, synthetic polyA (SPA) signal, and bovine growth hormone (bGH) polyA signal). See, e.g., Powell and Rivera-Soto, 2015, Discov. Med., 19(102):49-57.


Gene therapy constructs are designed such that both the heavy and light chains are expressed. More specifically, the heavy and light chains should be expressed at about equal amounts, in other words, the heavy and light chains are expressed at approximately a 1:1 ratio of heavy chains to light chains. The coding sequences for the heavy and light chains can be engineered in a single construct in which the heavy and light chains are separated by a cleavable linker or IRES so that separate heavy and light chain polypeptides are expressed. The leader sequence for each of the heavy and light chains is, e.g., MYRMQLLLLIALSLALVTNS (SEQ ID NO: 146) or one of the leader sequences provided in Table 2. Section 5.1.5, supra, provides specific IRES, 2A, and other linker sequences that can be used with the methods and compositions provided herein. In specific embodiments, the linker is a Furin-2A linker, for example a Furin-F2A linker RKRR(GSG)APVKQTLNFDLLKLAGDVESNPGP (SEQ ID NO: 231. In preferred embodiments, the linker is a Furin-2A linker, for example a Furin-T2A linker RKRR(GSG)EGRGSLLTCGDVEENPGP (SEQ ID NO: 429). In specific embodiments, the transgene is a nucleotide sequence that encodes the following: Signal sequence-heavy chain Fab portion-Furin-2A linker-signal sequence-light chain Fab portion. See, e.g., FIGS. 2A-2C for sequences for Solanezumab, lecanemab, and GSK933776 Fab expression, respectively; FIG. 3 for sequence for AL-001 Fab expression; FIGS. 4A-4C for the sequence for ABBV-8E12, UCB-0107, and NI-105 Fab expression, respectively; FIG. 5 for the sequence for VX15/2503 Fab expression; FIGS. 6A-C for the sequence for prasinezumab, NI-202, and MED-1341 Fab expression, respectively; FIGS. 7A-B for the sequence for NI-204 Fab expression; and FIG. 8A-C for the sequence for eptinezumab, fremanezumab, and galcanezumab Fab expression, respectively. In an alternative embodiment, the construct also comprises the nucleotide sequence encoding the Fc domain for the therapeutic antibody (see Table 7 or FIG. 23) for expression of the full length mAb.


In a specific embodiment, the constructs described herein comprise the following components: (1) AAV2 inverted terminal repeats that flank the expression cassette; (2) Control elements, which include a) the CB7 promoter, comprising the CMV enhancer/chicken β-actin promoter, b) a chicken β-actin intron and c) a rabbit 3-globin poly A signal; and (3) nucleic acid sequences coding for the heavy and light chains of the A3-binding, sortilin-binding, Tau protein-binding, SEMA4D-binding, alpha-synuclein-binding, SOD1-binding, or CGRPR-binding Fab, separated by a self-cleaving furin (F)/2A linker, ensuring expression of equal amounts of the heavy and the light chain polypeptides. An exemplary construct is provided in FIG. 1.


In specific embodiments, provided are AAV vectors comprising a viral capsid that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of an AAV9 capsid (SEQ ID NO: 144) or AAVrh10 (SEQ ID NO: 145); and an artificial genome comprising an expression cassette flanked by AAV inverted terminal repeats (ITRs), wherein the expression cassette comprises a transgene encoding an anti-Aβ, anti-sortilin, anti-Tau protein, anti-SEMA4D, anti-alpha-synuclein, anti-SOD1, or anti-CGRPR mAb, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, operably linked to one or more regulatory sequences that control expression of the transgene in human CNS cells.

Such recombinant vector used for delivering the transgene can have a tropism for human liver or muscle cells. Such vectors can include non-replicating recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors (“rAAV”), e.g., those bearing an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid. However, other viral vectors may be used, including but not limited to lentiviral vectors, vaccinia viral vectors, or non-viral expression vectors referred to as “naked DNA” constructs.

5.5 Dose Administration
5.5.1Administration for Delivering to CNS

Sections 5.3.1, 5.3.2, 5.3.3, 5.3.4, 5.3.5., 5.3.6., and 5.3.7. describe recombinant vectors that contain a transgene encoding a HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab (or other antigen binding fragment of the HuPTM mAb) that binds to Aβ, sortilin, Tau protein, SEMA4D, alpha-synuclein, SOD1, and CGRPR, respectively. Therapeutically effective doses of any such recombinant vector should be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the CNS, e.g. by introducing the recombinant vector into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). In specific, embodiments, the vector is administered intrathecally, specifically intracisternally (such as to the cisterna magna) or, alternatively, lumbar delivery. Alternatively, the recombinant vector may be administered intravenously. In particular, recombinant AAV9 vectors have been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and, as such, may be useful to deliver the anti-An, anti-sortilin, anti-Tau, anti-SEMA4D, anti-alpha-synuclein, anti-SOD1, or anti-CGRPR, antibody transgene product to the CNS. Specifically, a scAAV9 may be particularly useful for intravenous administration. Intrathecal, including intracisternal or lumbar administration, or intravenous administration should result expression of the soluble transgene product in cells of the CNS. The expression of the transgene product (e.g., the encoded anti-Aβ, anti-sortilin, anti-Tau, anti-SEMA4D, anti-alpha-synuclein, anti-SOD1, or anti-CGRPR antibody) results in delivery and maintenance of the transgene product in the CNS. Because the transgene product is continuously produced, maintenance of lower concentrations can be effective. The concentration of the transgene product can be measured in patient samples of the CSF.


Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for intrathecal, intracisternal, lumbar or intravenous administration comprise a suspension of the recombinant vector comprising the transgene encoding the anti-Aβ, anti-sortilin, anti-Tau, anti-SEMA4D, anti-alpha-synuclein, anti-SOD1, or anti-CGRPR antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, in a formulation buffer comprising a physiologically compatible aqueous buffer. The formulation buffer can comprise one or more of a polysaccharide, a surfactant, polymer, or oil.


5.5.2 Administration for Delivering to Liver or Muscle Tissue

Sections 5.3.8, 5.3.9, 5.3.10, 5.3.11, 5.3.12, 5.3.13, 5.3.14, 5.3.15, 5.3.16, 5.3.17, 5.3.18, 5.3.19, 5.3.20, and 5.3.21, describe recombinant vectors that contain a transgene encoding a HuPTM mAb or HuPTM Fab (or other antigen binding fragment of the HuPTM mAb) that binds to VEGF, EpoR, Aβ, ALK-1, C5, ENG, CC1Q, TNFα, RGMa, TTR, CTGF, IL6R, IL6, CD19, ITGF7, SOST, pKal, IL/ILR, IgE, or TSLP. Therapeutically effective doses of any such recombinant vector should be administered in any manner such that the recombinant vector enters the liver or muscle (e.g., skeletal muscle), e.g. by introducing the recombinant vector into the bloodstream. Alternatively, the vector may be administered directly to the liver through hepatic blood flow, e.g., via the suprahepatic veins or via the hepatic artery. In specific, embodiments, the vector is administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously.

5.6 Constructs and Methods for Expression of HuPTM mAb

Examples 36 and 37 demonstrate that full length heavy and light chains of lanadelumab were expressed from an AAV vector transgene in human HEK293 cells and secreted into the cell supernatant (FIGS. 24B-24D). Mice administered recombinant AAV8 and recombinant AAV9 vectors that carry a transgene encoding the full length heavy and light chains of lanadelumab had lanadelumab present in serum as detectable by ELISA seven weeks after administration (FIG. 25). Accordingly, provided herein are AAV constructs, vectors, methods of manufacture and methods of treatment comprising transgenes that encode a full length heavy chain (including the heavy chain variable domain, the heavy chain constant domain 1 (CH1), the hinge and Fc domain) and a full length light chain (light chain variable domain and light chain constant domain) that upon expression associate to form antigen-binding antibodies with Fc domains. The recombinant AAV constructs express the intact (i.e., full length) or substantially intact HuPTM mAb in a cell, cell culture, or in a subject. (“Substantially intact” refers to mAb having a sequence that is at least 95% identical to the full-length mAb sequence.) The nucleotide sequences encoding the heavy and light chains may be codon optimized for expression in human cells and have reduced incidence of CpG dimers in the sequence to promote expression in human cells. The transgenes may encode any full-length antibody. In preferred embodiments, the transgenes encode a full-length form of any of the therapeutic antibodies disclosed herein, for example, the Fab fragments of which depicted in FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F herein and including, in certain embodiments, the associated Fc domain provided in Table 7. In other embodiments, the transgenes encode the full-length forms of the Fab fragments of therapeutic antibodies depicted in one of FIGS. 2A-2F, 3A-3E, 4A, 4B, 5A-5C, 6, 7A, 7B, 8A-8H, 9A or 9B of PCT application no. PCT/US2018/056346, filed Oct. 17, 2018, incorporated herein by reference (which Figures are included as an Appendix hereto), with an Fc domain.


The full length mAb encoded by the transgene described herein preferably have the Fc domain of the full-length therapeutic antibody or is an Fc domain of the same type of immunoglobulin as the therapeutic antibody to be expressed. In certain embodiments, the Fc region is an IgG Fc region, but in other embodiments, the Fc region may be an IgA, IgD, IgE, or IgM. The Fc domain is preferably of the same isotype as the therapeutic antibody to be expressed, for example, if the therapeutic antibody is an IgG1 isotype, then the antibody expressed by the transgene comprises an IgG1 Fc domain. The antibody expressed from the transgene may have an IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 Fc domain.


The Fc region of the intact mAb has one or more effector functions that vary with the antibody isotype. The effector functions can be the same as that of the wild-type or the therapeutic antibody or can be modified therefrom to add, enhance, modify, or inhibit one or more effector functions using the Fc modifications disclosed in Section 5.1.9, infra. In certain embodiments, the HuPTM mAb transgene encodes a mAb comprising an Fc polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to the sequence set forth in the Fc domain polypeptides of the therapeutic antibodies described herein as set forth in Table 7 or an exemplary Fc domain of an IgG1, IgG2 or IgG4 isotype as set forth in FIG. 23. In specific embodiments, the HuPTM mAb comprises a Fc polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of an Fc polypeptide in Table 7 or FIG. 23 with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or more amino acid substitutions, insertions or deletions. In some embodiments, the HuPTM mAb comprises a Fc polypeptide of a sequence that is a variant of the Fc polypeptide sequence in Table 7 or FIG. 23 in that the sequence has been modified with one or more of the techniques described in Section 5.1.9, infra, to alter the Fc polypeptide's effector function.


In specific embodiments, provided are recombinant AAV constructs such as the construct shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 24A, for gene therapy administration to a human subject in order to express an intact or substantially intact HuPTM mAb in the subject. Gene therapy constructs are designed such that both the heavy and light chains are expressed in tandem from the vector including the Fc domain polypeptide of the heavy chain. In certain embodiments, the transgene encodes a transgene with heavy and light chain Fab fragment polypeptides as shown in one of FIGS. 2A-2C, 3, 4A-4C, 5, 6A-6C, 7A-7B, 8A-8C, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, 11, 12A-12C, 13, 14A-14B, 15, 16A-16I, 17, 18, 19, and 29A-29F or FIGS. 2A-2F, 3A-3E, 4A, 4B, 5A-5C, 6, 7A, 7B, 8A-8H, 9A or 9B of PCT application no.

HEK293 cells were plated at a density of 7.5×105 cells/well in each well of a standard 6-well dish containing Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM) supplied with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The next day, cells were transfected with CAG.L01 (SEQ ID NO: 435), CAG.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 437), and CAG.L03 (SEQ ID NO: 436) AAV constructs using Lifpofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) according the manufacturer's protocol). Non-transfected cells were used as negative control. Cell culture medium was changed 24 hours post-transfection to opti-mem I reduced serum media (2 mL/well). Cell culture supernatant was harvested at 48 hours post-transfection, and cell lysates were harvested with RIPA buffer (Pierce) supplemented with EDTA-free protease inhibitor tablets (Pierce). Supernatant and lysates samples were stored at −80 C.


Proteins from supernatant or cell lysate samples were separated via the NuPAGE electrophoresis system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For samples derived from cell lysates, 40 μg of protein was loaded unless indicated otherwise. Purified human IgG or Lanadelumab IgG (produced by Genscript) were used as loading controls (50-100 ng). Samples were heated with LDS sample buffer and NuPAGE reducing agent at 70 C for 10 minutes and then loaded into NuPAGE 4-12% Bis-Tris protein gels. Separated proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes using the iBlot2 dry blotting system according to manufacturer's instructions (P3 default setting was used for the protein transfer). Membranes were immediately washed in phosphate buffer saline with 0.1% v/v Tween-20 (PBST). Membranes were then incubated in blocking solution containing PBST and 1% Clear Milk Blocking Buffer (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hour at room temperature. Membranes were then incubated in fresh blocking solution supplemented with goat anti-human kappa light chain-HRP antibody (Bethyl Laboratories; 1:2000 dilution) and goat anti-human IgG Fc-HRP antibody (1:2000 dilution). Following antibody incubation, membranes were washed three times in PB ST for 5 minutes per wash. Finally, membranes were incubated in SuperSignal West Pico PLUS chemiluminescent substrate for 5 minutes and imaged on the BioRad Universal Hood II gel doc system for detection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) signal.


Results

Expression analysis of reporter transgene (eGFP) following transfection of different plasmid quantities (4 μg-nontransfected) showed a dose dependent increase in eGFP levels (FIG. 24B). Protein expression analysis of lanadelumab in the cell lysate (FIG. 24C) and in the cell supernatant (FIG. 24D) showed dose-dependent levels of lanadelumab in cell lysates and supernatant. Transfection with the construct containing the L02 transgene (SEQ ID NO: 286, CAG.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 437)), a codon-optimized and depleted of CpG dinucleotide sequences construction, resulted in higher expression levels compared to L01 transgene (SEQ ID NO: 141, CAG.L01 SEQ ID NO: 435). Transfection of CAG.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 437) and CAG.L03 (SEQ ID NO: 436) resulted in similar expression levels.


6.51 Example 51: Serum Expression of Lanadelumab in Mice
Methods

A. Mouse experiments were performed with either AAV8 or AAV9 containing an AAV construct (as depicted in FIG. 24A) comprising the L01 sequence (SEQ ID NO: 141), which contains the Furin and F2A sequence (SEQ ID NO: 231). AAV8 and AAV9 vectors (n=5 mice per group; 2e11 genome copies (gc)) were administered to immunocompromised NSG mice via either intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) routes. IV administrations were into the tail vein and IM administrations were bilateral into the gastrocnemius muscles. Mice injected with vehicle were included as controls. Seven weeks post administration mice were sacrificed and serum human antibody levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).


Lanadelumab levels in NSG mouse serum was assessed by ELISA. Briefly, mouse serum was obtained before treatment and at 1, 3, 5 and 7 weeks post in vivo gene transfection and stored at −80° C. 96-well plate was coated with 1 μg/ml human IgG-Fc fragment antibody (Bethyl, Montgomery, Tex.) in carbonate bicarbonate buffer (0.05M, pH 9.6, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.) and incubated overnight at 4° C. After washing with Tween 20 washing buffer (PBST, 0.05%, Alfa Aesar, Haverhill, Mass.), plate was incubated with blocking buffer (3% BSA in PBS, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) for 1 h at 37° C. followed by washing. Mouse serum samples diluted in sample dilution buffer (0.1% Tween 20 and 3% BSA in PBS) was added to the plate (50 μl/well) and incubated for 2 h at 37° C. A standard curve of known lanadelumab concentrations ranging from 360 to 0.001 ng/mL was included in each plate. Plate was washed with PBST for five times after incubation. The levels of lanadelumab was detected by incubation with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-human IgG (H+L) (200 ng/mL; Bethyl, Montgomery, Tex.) for 1 h at 37° C. The optical density was assessed using KPL TMB Microwell Peroxidase Substrate System (Seracare, Milford, Mass.) following the manufacturer's specifications. Data analysis was performed with SoftMax Pro version 7.0.2 software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.).


Results

A. Results from a representative experiment are shown in FIG. 25. Serum analysis of AAV8-, AAV9-injected and control (vehicle) NSG mice at 7 weeks post gene transfer showed expression and serum accumulation of Lanadelumab following AAV9 delivery (2E11 gc). Serum Lanadelumab concentration was 100-fold higher in AAV9-injected mice compared to AAV8-injected mice and slightly higher in IV-AAV9-injected compared to IM-AAV9-injected mice. Serum human antibody levels in control mice were undetectable at 7 week time point.


B. In an analogous experiment, a time course of lanadelumab serum levels in NSG mice post-AAV9 administration (n=5 per group) was performed. AAV9 vectors (2E11 gc) were injected either IV or IM (as above, in experiment A), and serum antibody levels were determined by ELISA at day 7 (D7), day 21 (D21), day 35 (D35), and day 49 (D49).


Serum Lanadelumab expression is detectable as early as 1 week (D7) after AAV9 administration in NSG mice. The expression levels increased at 3 weeks (D2), peaked at 5 weeks (D35) and then sustained up to 7 week post-injection (D49). It was observed that serum lanadelumab concentration is higher in IV vs. IM injected mice over the entire time course. See FIG. 26.


C. In an analogous experiment, a time course of lanadelumab serum levels in C/57BL6 mice post AAV8 administration was performed. The optimized expression cassette containing a liver-specific promoter and a codon optimized and CpG depleted transgene with a modified furin-2A processing signal resulted in robust serum antibody concentration when delivered intravenously using an AAV8 vector. Very high (>1 mg/ml) and sustained levels of functional anti-kallikrein antibody were achieved in the serum of C57BL/6 mice following IV vector administration at a dose of 1E13 gc/kg.


6.52 Example 52: Analysis of In Vitro Transduction and Expression of Tandem Liver- and Tandem Liver/Muscle-Specific Promoters Driving Expression of Lanadelumab

Cis plasmids expressing vectorized lanadelumab were packaged in AAV, then rAAV particles evaluated for potency of the transduction by AAV. Each cis plasmid contained lanadelumab (Mab 1) antibody light chain and heavy chain which are multicistrons driven by the CAG, ApoE.hAAT (SEQ ID NO: 412) or LMTP6 (SEQ ID NO: 320) promoter. Full-length lanadelumab antibody light chain and antibody heavy chain genes were separated by a furin 2A linker to ensure separate expression of each antibody chain. The entire cassette is flanked by AAV2 ITRs, and the genome is encapsidated in an AAV8 capsid for delivery to C2C12 cells (1E10 vg per well). For detection of antibody protein, following transduction, the cells are treated with FITC conjugated anti-Fc (IgG) antibody. The AAV8.CAG.Mab1 and AAV8.LMTP6.Mab1 infected cells show high expression in muscle cells, whereas the AAV8.hAAT.Mab1 infection does not result in expression of the antibody in muscle cells (FIG. 27). Cells appeared to be equally confluent and viable in all test wells, as seen by DAPI (DNA) staining (FIG. 27).


6.53 Example 53: Antibody Expression and Vector Biodistribution in Mouse Treated with AAV8 Lanadelumab Vectors Driven by Various Promoters

Thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) and alpha-1 antitrypsin (hAAT) promoters have been widely used as liver-specific promoters in previous pre-clinical and clinical gene therapy studies. A panel of designed promoter cassettes derived from multiple promoters and enhancers were generated and tested them in vitro by transfecting Huh7 cells, a human liver cell line. Promoter candidates were selected, which include ApoE.hAAT (SEQ ID NO: 412), LSPX1 (SEQ ID NO: 315), LSPX2 (SEQ ID NO: 316), LTP1 (SEQ ID NO: 317) and LMTP6 (SEQ ID NO: 320). AAV8 vectors encoding vectorized lanadelumab regulated by these promoter candidates were then generated. CAG (SEQ ID NO: 411) and TBG (SEQ ID NO: 423) promoters served as controls for ubiquitous and liver-specific promoters, respectfully. Strength of these promoters and vector biodistribution were tested in vivo by measuring lanadelumab protein expression compared to vector genome copy in each wild type mouse.


Vectors were administered intravenously to C57Bl/6 mice at equivalent doses (2.5×1012 vg/kg) Mouse serum was collected biweekly, and lanadelumab protein expression levels were determined by ELISA. Liver samples were harvested at 49 days post vector administration. The presence of viral genomes in each sample was quantified using Lanadelumab probe and primer by Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) (the NAICA™ system from Stilla). The genome copy number of glucagon was also measured simultaneously in each sample, the viral genomes were then normalized and demonstrated as vector genome copy number per cell (assuming 2 glucagon/cell). Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA in GraphPad Prism 8.


Among the AAV8 vectors with liver-specific promoters, the vectors driven by the ApoE.hAAT (SEQ ID NO: 412) and LMTP6 (SEQ ID NO: 320) promoters provided the highest amount of protein expression at all time points (FIG. 28A). While for the biodistribution data, there was no significant difference of vector genome copy number per cell in liver samples in animals treated with vectors driven by different promoters (FIG. 28B).


All liver-specific promoters outperform the TBG promoter (SEQ ID NO: 423), and the dual-specific LMTP6 promoter (SEQ ID NO: 320) consistently shows the highest expression in the serum (μg/ml) (FIG. 28).


6.54 Example 54: Lanadelumab Expression in Rat Serum Following Administration of Vectorized Antibody

A high level of Lanadelumab expression was detected in the serum of mice treated with AAV-Lanadelumab via IV administration. In parts of the study, the lanadelumab expression levels in different rat strains treated with different doses of AAV-Lanadelumab vectors and controls were examined.


Experiment 1 (Wistar Rats):

To evaluate the route and the dose of vector administration in rats, a control vector AAV.CAG-LANv2.T2A (CAG.L02; SEQ ID NO: 437) was tested in Wistar rat. Eight to ten weeks old male Wistar rats were assigned into three groups (n=3 per group) to receive vector administration via IM or IV injection at a dose of 1×1013 vg/kg or 1×1014 vg/kg. Blood was collected at 7 days before treatment and 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days post vector administration and processed into serum.

The levels of antibody in rat serum were detectable at 7 days post treatment. It increased over time and reached the peak level at 17 (lower dose) and 21 (higher dose) days post treatment in IV groups and 28 days in IM group. The antibody levels gradually decreased and sustains up to 48 days post treatment in all groups. For animals treated with lower dose (1×1013 vg/kg) vector, the antibody expression levels in IV groups are significantly higher than that in IM group at 7, 14 and 21 days post vector administration. For animals received IV administration, the antibody expression levels were dose-dependent at all time points. The highest level of lanadelumab expression was 252.6±149.4 μg/ml, which was detected in animals treated with higher dose (1×1014 vg/kg) at 21 days post IV administration. See FIG. 30A.


Experiment 2 (Wistar and Sprague-Dawley Rats):

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the rat strain and the vector dose that will be used for a rat efficacy study. Eight to ten weeks old male Wistar and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were assigned into four groups (n=3 per group) to receive treatment of AAV8 vector carrying genome encoding lanadelumab driven by a universal promoter, CAG.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 437), or a liver-specific promoter, ApoE.hAAT.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 439). Vectors were administered via IV injection at a dose of 5×1013 vg/kg. Blood was collected at 7 days before treatment and 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days post vector administration and processed into the serum (Table 11). Levels of human IgG antibody in collected rat serum were detected by ELISA. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons at each time point using Prism.

In this experiment, a control vector (CAG.L02, SEQ ID NO: 437) and vector ApoE.hAAT.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 439) were tested in Wistar and SD rats, respectively. Lanadelumab expression levels were higher in Wistar rat than SD rat in both vector groups at all time points. At the early time points, animals treated with control vector showed significant higher serum antibody levels than those treated with the liver-specific promoter containing vector. This was observed in Wistar rat at 7 days post treatment, and in SD rat at 7, 14 and 17 days post treatment. In Wistar rats, the concentrations of antibody gradually increased over time in both vectors group. The highest antibody levels were 173.1±78.8 mg/ml and 109.57±18.9 μg/ml at 35 and 49 days respectively in control CAG-Lanadelumab and hAAT-Lanadelumab vector-treated animals. In SD rats, however, the levels of antibody reached peaks at 14 and 21 days in control and lead vector-treated animals, respectively, and decreased gradually afterward in both groups. The highest antibody concentrations were 48.23±3.1 μg/ml and 22.33±8.98 μg/ml in CAG.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 437) and ApoE.hAAT.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 439) vector groups, respectively.

6.55 Example 55: Characterization of Vectorized Lanadelumab Regulated by Tissue-Specific Promoters Following Intramuscular Administration

In a previous study, high liver-driven expression of vectorized lanadelumab with AAV8 regulated by the ApoE.hAAT or LMTP6 promoters was identified. The goal of this study was to characterize muscle-driven expression of the LMTP6 promoter following direct injection of lanadelumab vectors into the gastrocnemius (GA) muscle. Animals received bilateral injections of 5×1010 vg into the GA muscle. Serum was collected biweekly to measure systemic lanadelumab concentration (FIG. 31A). Animals were harvested at 49 days post-injection, and relevant tissues (liver, GA muscle, heart) were analyzed for vector biodistribution and transgene expression.


Vectors regulated by the hAAT and LMTP6 promoters demonstrated significantly increased antibody concentrations in serum compared to CAG at all time points (FIG. 31A). The hAAT and LMTP6 were not significantly different from each other in this experiment. Vector genome copies per cell of vectorized lanadelumab was detected and quantified in GA, liver and heart (FIG. 31B) with a notable difference of higher quantity of genome detected in heart for the dual muscle/liver promoter, LMTP6 vector. Increased liver RNA expression was also detected for all test vectors directly injected into GA muscle at 49 days (relative fold gene expression compared to a reference gene) (FIG. 31C). Gene expression (mRNA μg/mL) data from each of liver, GA muscle, and heart (FIG. 31D) indicates the dual specificity of LMPT6 in liver and muscle tissues following IM administration, whereas the hAAT-driven samples were reduced in muscle compared to LMTP6 and CAG. Significant differences were also seen between the hAAT and LMTP6 groups.


6.56 Example 56: Comparison of Lanadelumab Protein Levels in Mouse Serum Derived from Mice Treated with AAV-Lanadelumab Vectors Produced with Different Production Systems

Different AAV production protocols were developed to identify methods that can increase AAV titer and scalability, as well as assess the quality of vector product. Cis and trans plasmids to generate AAV8.Lanadelumab rAAV vectors (all having the same transgene driven by a CAG promoter) were constructed by well-known methods suitable for HEK293-transfected cell and also baculovirus (BV)/Sf9 insect cell production methods. Three different BV/Sf9 vector systems, BV1, BV2 and BV3, were provided as well as rAAV vector produced by an HEK293 method as a control. Purified rAAV product was injected into wild-type mice for this protein expression study (Table 13).


Young adult C57BL/6 mice (aged 8-10 weeks) were administered with above-mentioned vectors at 2.5 E12 vg/kg via tail vein injection (n=5 per group). Serum was collected from each animal at 7, 21, 35, and 49 days post vector administration. Serum collected two days before injection (Day 0) served as baseline control. Levels of antibody (lanadelumab) expression were detected via ELISA. Data analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons at each time point using Prism.

All production methods tested are viable based on this study, with greater yields from the HEK cell production method at the time points tested (see FIG. 32). Antibody expression in serum is detectable as early as 7 days post administration in all groups. The average of antibody concentration at Day 7 in the HEK production group is 386 μg/ml, which is significantly higher than other groups (61-102 μg/ml). The levels of antibody expression increase at day 21 by 1-, 6-, 7-, and 4-fold in BV1, BV2 and BV3 groups, respectively. Antibody expression levels sustained at 35 and 49 days post administration. There is no significant difference in between HEK produced vector and BV3 produced vectors at day 21, 35 and 49 time points.


6.57 Example 57: Vectorized Human Anti-pKal Antibody, Lanadelumab, Derived from Mouse Serum Suppressed Human pKal Function

In order to measure pKal function of lanadelumab derived from mouse serum following AAV-lanadelumab administration, we developed a fluorescence-based kinetic enzymatic functional assay. First, activated human plasma kallikrein (Enzyme Research Laboratories) was diluted in sample dilution buffer (SDB; 1×PBS, 3% BSA, 0.1% Tween-20) to top concentration of 100 nM. This pKal was two-fold serially diluted for a total of 12 concentrations in the dilution series (100 nM-0.05 nM). From each dilution, and in duplicate, 254, was placed in one well of a 96-well, opaque flat-bottomed plate along with 254, of SDB. Then, 50 μL of the fluorogenic substrate Pro-Phe-Arg-7-Amino-4-Methylcoumarin (PFR-AMC) (Bachem) prepared at 100 μM in assay buffer (50 mM Tris, 250 mM NaCl, pH 7.5) was added to each well. The samples were immediately run in kinetic mode for AMC fluorescence at excitation/emission wavelengths of 380/460 nm, respectively, for 3 hours using a SpectraMax 3 fluorescent plate reader.


The signal-to-noise ratio for each pKal concentration RFU (last RFU fluorescent value chosen) was calculated by dividing its RFU by background PFR-AMC substrate fluorescence. The two lowest pKal concentrations with a signal-to-noise ratio ≥2 (6.25 nM and 12.5 nM) were then chosen to evaluate the suppressive effect and range of lanadelumab antibody of pKal function in a lanadelumab dose response. Lanadelumab (GenScript) or human IgG control antibody was diluted in SDB to top concentration of 200 nM and two-fold serially diluted to 0.39 nM. Next, 25 μL pKal (each of two chosen concentrations) was incubated with 25 μL lanadelumab or human IgG at 30° C. for 1 hour. Antibody-pKal mixture was then given PFR-AMC and immediately run in kinetic mode for AMC fluorescence at excitation/emission wavelengths of 380/460 nm, respectively, for 3 hours using a SpectraMax fluorescent plate reader.


In vitro pKal functional assay. When used, mouse serum was diluted in sample dilution buffer and incubated 1:1 with 6.25 nM (1.56 nM in-well) pKal for 30° C./1 hour. For total IgG purification from mouse serum, antibody was purified using the Protein A Spin Antibody Purification Kit (BioVision) according to manufacturer's protocol. Total antibody concentration was measured using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer, with OD absorbance=280 nM. AMC standard curve was generated by a two-fold downward dilution series of AMC (500 nM, eleven dilutions and blank subtracted) diluted in assay buffer. AMC was read as end point fluorescence at excitation/emission wavelengths of 380/460 nm, respectively. Specific plasma kallikrein activity was calculated as: (adjusted experimental sample Vmax, RFU/sec)×(Conversion factor, AMC standard curve μM/RFU)/(pKal concentration, nM). Percent reduction in pKal activity was derived from calculating day 49 by day −7 pKal activity.


To determine whether AAV-derived lanadelumab can suppress plasma kallikrein function, we developed the in vitro AMC substrate-based functional assay to address this in a proof-of-concept study (FIGS. 33A and 33B). In this assay, antibody-containing medium is incubated with activated human pKal, as described above. Antibody-bound pKal is then given the synthetic peptide substrate Pro-Phe-Arg conjugated to AMC (PFR-AMC) and amount of released AMC is measured over time at excitation/emission wavelengths of 380/460 nm, respectively, for 3 hours. The assay showed noticeable lanadelumab-mediated suppression of pKal activity down to 0.1 nM (in-well concentration) (FIG. 33C) at a defined enzyme concentration. We first sought to determine whether serum from mice administered lanadelumab-encoded AAV could suppress pKal activity. Serum from mice 49 days post-administration was diluted 1:25 (in range predicted to be suppressive), incubated with pKal in vitro, and pKal activity was assayed. Serum from mice post-vector administration, as opposed to 7 days pre-administration, suppressed pKal activity, as reflected in a significant reduction of enzyme activity and a ˜50% percent reduction in pKal activity between the two time points (FIGS. 33D and 33E).


Further experiments show that suppression was due to the lanadelumab within the serum. Reasoning that the human IgG, namely lanadelumab, would only be found in the day 49 post-administration IgG fraction, but not the day −7 pre-administration samples, purified and total IgG antibody was used from the aforementioned day −7 and day 49 mouse serum samples to test pKal suppression. Indeed, only lanadelumab-containing purified IgG from day 49 post-administration serum, but not IgG from the pre-administration time point, suppressed human pKal function (FIG. 33F).


6.58 Example 58: Effects of AAV-Lanadelumab in Carrageenan Animal Models
6.58.1 Example 58A: Effects of AAV-Lanadelumab in the Carrageenan Paw Edema Model in Mice

Inflammation models induced by carrageenan are frequently used acute inflammation models. Carrageenan (Cg) is a strong chemical agent that functions in stimulating the release of inflammatory and proinflammatory mediators, including bradykinin, histamine, tachykinins, reactive oxygen, and nitrogen species. Typical signs of inflammation include edema, hyperalgesia, and erythema, which develop immediately following the treatment of carrageenan. This example evaluated the effect of AAV-mediated gene delivery of Lanadelumab on carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice.


In total eighty young adult (8-9 weeks old) male C57BL/6 mice were used for this study. Animals were divided into eight groups as listed in Table 14. Paw edema was induced by a single subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of 30 μL of 0.7% or 1% carrageenan solution. Test vectors and positive control Diclofenac were administered at 21 days and 30 minutes prior to carrageenan treatment. Blood was collected before vectors injection and at 7 and 21 days post injection from mice in groups 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. Paw volume was measured using a digital Plethysmometer prior to carrageenan injection, and at 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 and 48 hours after injection. All animals were sacrificed 48 hours after carrageenan injection. Liver and paw specimens were also collected at the necropsy.

Both 0.7% and 1.0% carrageenan induced swelling in the injected paw; however, swelling was more pronounced with 1.0% carrageenan injection (FIGS. 34, A-L). In the positive control groups (Group 2 and 6), diclofenac treatment significantly decreased the paw volume at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post carrageenan injection in 1.0% Cg model (group 2), while a significant decrease on paw volume was observed only at 4 and 24 hours post injection in 0.7% Cg model (group 6).


ApoE.hAAT.L02 (SEQ ID NO: 439) treatment significantly reduced the paw volume at 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours post carrageenan injection in 1,0% Cg model when compared with the vehicle control group (group 1, vector formulation buffer) (FIGS. 35A and 35B). However, no effect of ApoE.hAAT.L02 treatment was observed in 0.7% Cg model at any time points (FIGS. 35A and 35 B). There is no significant difference in between groups treated with vehicle (groups 1 and 4) or control vector (AAV-GFP, groups 3 and 7) in both 1.0% and 0.7% Cg models (FIGS. 33A-L). All data was analyzed with One-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post-hoc test for multiple comparisons.


These data indicate that acute inflammation can be successfully induced in mouse paw with a single subcutaneous injection of 1% carrageenan solution. Lanadelumab, a human IgG antibody produced in mouse serum via AAV-mediated gene delivery significantly reduces the severity of inflammation in mouse 1% carrageenan model.


6.58.2 Example 58B: Efficacy Study of AAV-Lanadelumab on Carrageenan-Induced Paw Edema in Wistar Rats

This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of AAV-mediated antibody (Lanadelumab) therapy on Carrageenan-induced paw edema in Wistar rats. The experiment involves 50 male Wistar rats in total, divided into 5 groups (see Table. 15). Paw edema will be induced by a single subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of 100 μL of 1% carrageenan solution. Test articles will be administered at different time points (30 minutes, 21 days, 24 hours, or 1 hour) prior to carrageenan treatment.

Body weight will be measured twice a week. On 7 days before vectors administration, and 7 and 14 days post-vector injection, 0.3 mL of blood will be collected by retroorbital/submandibular bleeding in all rats, and then processed into serum. Paw volume will be measured prior to carrageenan injection, and at 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post carrageenan injection. All animals will be sacrificed 24 hours after carrageenan injection. At necropsy, blood will be collected for serum preparation by intracardiac puncture. Then, three pieces of liver (approximately 50 mg per unit) from the same lobe of each animal will be collected and cryopreserved in three separate tubes, respectively. The right paw from all rats will be resected, formalin-fixed, and embedded in paraffin (FFPE). See Table 16.

6.59 Example 59: AAV-Mediated Anti-Plasma Kallikrein Antibody Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) are the most common complications of diabetes and the leading causes of blindness among working-age adults. Chronic hyperglycemia leads to retinal microvasculature damage and promote an increase in microvascular permeability, upregulation of inflammatory response, and fluid accumulation into the neural retina, which ultimately result in visual loss. Intravitreal administration of anti-VEGFs is the first-line treatment for DME. However, DME response to anti-VEGF is highly variable. Only 54% of DME patients treated with consecutive, monthly anti-VEGF gain vision (Elman M J, Aiello L P, Beck R W, et al. Randomized trial evaluating ranibizumab plus prompt or deferred laser or triamcinolone plus prompt laser for diabetic macular edema. Ophthalmology 2010; 117:1064-1077; Brown D M, Nguyen Q D, Marcus D M, et al. Long-term outcomes of ranibizumab therapy for diabetic macular edema: The 36-month results from two phase III trials: RISE and RIDE. Ophthalmology 2013; 120:2013-2022). Recent studies suggested that plasma kallikrein, a mediator of vascular leakage and inflammation, may play an important role in the pathogenesis of DR and DME independent of VEGF (Gao -B-B, Clermont A, Rook S, et al. Extracellular carbonic anhydrase mediates hemorrhagic retinal and cerebral vascular permeability through prekallikrein activation. Nature Medicine 2007; 13:181; Clermont A, Chilcote T J, Kita T, et al. Plasma kallikrein mediates retinal vascular dysfunction and induces retinal thickening in diabetic rats. Diabetes 2011; 60:1590-1598; and Kita T, Clermont A C, Murugesan N, et al. Plasma kallikrein-kinin system as a VEGF-independent mediator of diabetic macular edema. Diabetes 2015; 64:3588-3599). Plasma kallikrein inhibitors could be the potential alternative therapies for DR and DME patients who are not response to anti-VEGF therapies. This study aims to test the possibility of therapy for DR/DME using ocular vectorized antibody delivery with adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene transfer.


Vectorized anti-plasma kallikrein antibody (anti-pKal Ab such as Lanadelumab) sequence has been constructed and tested for its use in treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE), as described above. In this study AAV8.CAG.LAN Ab and AAV8.CAG.GFP will be used as test vectors. AAV8.NUL will serve as a control vector.


First, the transduction efficiency and cell type specificity is evaluated in wild type rats. Adult Wistar rats (3-4 months old) will be used for this study. Vectors including AAV8.CAG.LAN Ab, AAV8.CAG.GFP and AAV8.NUL, will be delivered in rat eyes via subretinal (SR) injection at different doses (5×108 vg/eye and 5×109 vg/eye) in 3 μl of formulation buffer. Fundus and OCT imaging will be performed at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after SR injection. Ocular tissue specimens will be collected at 8 weeks post administration. Levels of antibody expression in individual ocular tissues including retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) will be quantified by ELISA. Cell type specificity will be determined by immunofluorescent staining with various retinal cell markers.


Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic Wistar rats will be used as the animal model for efficacy studies. Diabetes will be induced by intravenous injection of STZ at the dose of 60 mg/kg of the body weight in young adult Wistar rats (8-10 weeks old). Significant and progressive loss of visual acuity generally starts at 8 weeks following induction in this model. AAV8.CAG.pKal Ab vector will be injected subretinally at 4 or 8 weeks after the induction of Diabetes. Contralateral eye will be injected with AAV.NUL vector and serve as a control. Fundus, fluorescein angiography (FA) and OCT imaging, electroretinography (ERG) and Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) will be tested at 8, 12 and 16 weeks following induction of Diabetes. Ocular tissues or the whole eyeballs will be collected at 16-17 weeks post Diabetes induction. Antibody expression in ocular tissues will be quantified by ELISA. Retina structure changes and neuron survival will be evaluated by histology and immunofluorescent staining.


6.60 Example 60: Characterization of Tissue-Restricted Transgene Immunogenicity

The goal of this study is to understand transgene immunogenicity and/or tolerance induction in the context of ubiquitous, tissue-specific, or tandem promoters. Hypothesis: Vectors driven by liver-specific and liver-muscle tandem promoters will demonstrate reduced immunogenicity compared to vectors driven by a ubiquitous promoter. To test this hypothesis, four AAV vectors that drive expression of a highly immunogenic membrane-bound ovalbumin (mOVA) were constructed. These vectors differ in their promoter sequences which includes: a) a ubiquitous CAG promoter (SEQ ID NO: 411) b) the liver-specific hAAT promoter with upstream ApoE enhancer (SEQ ID NO: 412) c) the muscle-specific CK8 promoter cassette composed of the CK core promoter and three copies of a modified MCK enhancer (SEQ ID NO: 413) and d) liver-muscle tandem promoter 6 (LMTP6, SEQ ID NO: 320) that contains sequence elements derived from hAAT and CK8. Initial experiments will measure the immune response following intravenous (IV) vector administration within mice. Study endpoints will include characterization of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses against the mOVA transgene product. In addition, tissues will be harvested for vector biodistribution and transgene expression analysis.


6.61 Example 61: Plasma Expression of Vectorized Lanadelumab in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Plasma kinetics of lanadelumab expression in non-human primates administered AAV vectors encoding lanadelumab antibodies will be assessed. The goal is to assess and select the dose of AAV8.ApoE.hAAT.Lan vector that results in sustained lanadelumab expression of at least 200 μg/ml lanadelumab by three months or more. The cynomolgus monkey is chosen as the test system because of its established usefulness and acceptance as a model for AAV biodistribution studies in a large animal species and for further translation to human. All animals on this study are naïve with respect to prior treatment.


Nine cynomolgus animals will be used. Animals judged suitable for experimentation based on clinical sign data and prescreening antibody titers will be placed in three study groups, each receiving a different dosage of AAV vector, by body weight using computer-generated random numbers. Each set of three animals will be administered a single i.v. dose of the vector AAV8.ApoE.hAAT.Lan vector (described above) at the dose of 1e12 gc/kg (Group 1), 1e13 gc/kg (Group 2), and 1e14 gc/kg (Group 3).


Clinical signs will be recorded at least once daily beginning approximately two weeks prior to initiation of dosing and continuing throughout the study period. The animals will be observed for signs of clinical effects, illness, and/or death. Additional observations may be recorded based upon the condition of the animal at the discretion of the Study Director and/or technicians.


Blood samples will be collected from a peripheral vein for bioanalytical analysis prior to dose administration and then at weekly intervals for at least 3 months (9 weeks). The samples will be collected in clot tubes and the times recorded. The tubes will be maintained at room temperature until fully clotted, then centrifuged at approximately 2400 rpm at room temperature for 15 minutes. The serum will be harvested, placed in labeled vials, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −60° C. or below.


A gross necropsy will be performed on any animal found dead or sacrificed moribund, and at the end of the study period, at least three months after vector administration. All animals, except those found dead, will be sedated with 8 mg/kg of ketamine HCl IM, maintained on an isoflurane/oxygen mixture and provided with an intravenous bolus of heparin sodium, 200 IU/kg. The animals will be perfused via the left cardiac ventricle with 0.001% sodium nitrite in saline. Animals found dead will be necropsied but will not be perfused.


As primary endpoint analysis, plasma samples will be assayed for lanadelumab concentration by ELISA and/or western blot, to be reported at least as μg lanadelumab per ml plasma; and lanadelumab activity, for example, kallikrein inhibition, by fluorogenic assay.


The presence of antibodies against lanadelumab (ADAs) in the serum will be evaluated by ELISA and lanadelumab binding assays. Biodistribution of the vector and lanadelumab coding transcripts will be assessed in necroscopy samples by quantitative PCR and NGS methods. Tissues to be assayed include liver, muscle, and heart. Toxicity assessment will be done by full pathology, including assaying liver enzymes, urinalysis, cardiovascular health, and more.


6.62 Example 62: Vectorized Adalimumab IgG and Fab Cassettes: Design and Characterization

An AAV transgene cassette was constructed (SEQ ID NO: 451) that drives ubiquitous expression of vectorized adalimumab IgG (TNF001, SEQ ID NO: 452). The protein coding sequence is composed of the heavy and light chains of adalimumab separated by a Furin cleavage site, Gly-Ser-Gly (GSG) linker (SEQ ID NO: 427), and T2A self-processing peptide sequence (SEQ ID NO: 429). The specific sequence configuration yields expression of separate heavy and light chain peptides. The entire reading frame is codon-optimized and depleted of CpG dinucleotides. Expression is driven by the CAG promoter (SEQ ID NO: 411). Similarly, an additional cassette was developed (SEQ ID NO: 453) that drives expression of a Fab containing the adalimumab variable regions (TNF002, SEQ ID NO: 454). Constructs are outlined in FIG. 1, and FIG. 12A and sequences are provided in Table. 17.

Plasmid expression was characterized via western blot following transfection into 293T cells (FIG. 36A). In addition, plasmid-expressed antibody activity was assessed via ELISA for binding of recombinant human TNFα (FIG. 36B). In addition, this plasmid was used to produce recombinant AAV8 vectors. Expression and activity of adalimumab produced from AAV8 was evaluated with the aforementioned assays (FIGS. 37A-37C).


6.63 Example 63: Self-Complementary Adalimumab Fab Transgene Cassettes: Design and Characterization

Two self-complementary AAV (scAAV) transgene cassettes encoding vectorized adalimumab Fab were generated. The transgenes are driven by the ubiquitous mU1a (SEQ ID NO: 414) or EF-1α (SEQ ID NO: 415) core promoters. These plasmids were compared for Fab expression via transfection into 293T cells (FIG. 38). The mU1a-driven vector displayed a higher absorbance values suggesting higher Fab concentration within the cell supernatant.


6.64 Example 64: TNFα Binding Across Model Species with Vectorized Adalimumab IgG and Fab

Vectorized adalimumab candidates for TNFα isolated from model species including human, mouse, and rat were tested for their binding capacity. Vectorized antibodies were expressed and secreted into cell supernatant following cis plasmid transfection into 293T cells. The cell supernatant was tested in an ELISA where the plates were coated with recombinant TNFα derived from the aforementioned species (FIG. 39). Adalimumab IgG effectively bound human and mouse derived TNFα. The Fab demonstrates a similar binding profile to human TNFα as the IgG. However, the Fab displays poor binding to mouse TNFα compared to adalimumab IgG. Both IgG and Fab display far reduced binding to rat TNFα.


6.65 Example 65: AAV-Mediated Ocular Gene Therapy for Non-Infectious Posterior Uveitis

Non-infectious posterior uveitis is a form of ocular inflammation that affects the retina and choroid of the eye and leads to blindness. It afflicts approximately 38,000 Americans per year. Patients are usually treated with systemic steroids or corticosteroids therapy, which results in high risks of systemic complications. In 2016, Humira (adalimumab), a human monoclonal antibody that targets tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), was approved by FDA and became the only systemic noncorticosteroid agent for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis (NIU) and has been widely used since then. In this study, full length or Fab adalimumab antibody in an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, such as AAV8.CAG.adalimumab.IgG, or AAV8.CAG.adalimumab.Fab, as well as AAV8.CAG.GFP, will be evaluated for AAV-mediated antibody expression in vivo in mouse ocular tissues via local administration. AAV8.NUL will serve as a control vector. Efficacy studies in rodent EAU model will also be performed to investigate therapeutic potential of AAV-mediated anti-TNFα treatment for NIU.


Vectorized adalimumab sequence have been constructed and tested in vitro. The transduction efficiency and cell type specificity in wild type mouse will further be evaluated. Young adult C57BL/6 and B10.RIII mice (8-10 weeks old) will be used for this study. Vectors including AAV8.CAG.adalimumab.IgG, AAV8.CAG.adalimumab.Fab, AAV8.CAG.GFP and AAV8.NUL will be delivered in mouse eyes via subretinal (SR) injection at different doses (1×107, 1×108 and 1×109 vg/eye) in 1 μl of formulation buffer. Fundus and OCT imaging will be performed at 1, 2 and 4 weeks after SR injection. Ocular samples will be collected at 5 weeks post administration. Levels of antibody or fusion protein expression in ocular tissues will be quantified by ELISA. Cell type specificity will be determined by immunofluorescent staining with various retinal cell markers. Test vector(s) will be selected for efficacy study. Different routes of administration (ROA) including suprachoroidal, intracameral and intravitreal injections will also be explored. The preferred ROA will be used for efficacy study.


Efficacy studies will be conducted by inducing experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) in B10.RIII mice by immunization with the human IRBP peptide. T-cell mediated ocular autoimmune response will occur in this model with a peak from approximately 11 to 18 days post-induction. Test vector will be administrated in mouse eye via preferred ROA at 2 weeks before or 1 week after induction of EAU. Contralateral eye will be delivered with AAV.NUL vector and serve as a control. Fundus and OCT imaging, electroretinography (ERG) and Optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) will be tested at 10, 17 and 30 days following induction of EAU to monitor the progress of the disease. Ocular tissues or whole eyeballs will be collected at 5 weeks post EAU induction. Levels of antibody or fusion protein expression in ocular tissues will be detected and quantified by ELISA. Retina structure changes and neuron survival will be evaluated by histology and immunofluorescent staining.
