IL-17 Receptor Antibody Formulation

BACKGROUND

Interleukin-17 (IL-17A) is an inflammatory cytokine initially identified as a transcript selectively expressed by activated T cells. IL-17A and IL-17F bind and activate IL-17RA. IL-17RA has been shown to be important in regulating immune responses. Activation of the IL-17RA leads to production of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and other proteins that contribute to the symptoms and/or pathology of numerous diseases. IL-17A is an inflammatory cytokine that induces the production of cytokines and other mediators leading to diseases and physiological effects such as inflammation, cartilage degradation, and bone resorption. IL-17A may play a role in a number of inflammatory conditions including arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis), psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and asthma. (Li et al., 2004, Huazhong Univ. Sci. Technolog. Med. Sci. 24:294-296; Fujino et al., 2003, Gut. 52:65-70; Kauffman et al., 2004, J. Invest. Dermatol. 123:1037-1044; Mannon et al., 2004, N. Engl. J Med. 351:2069-2079; Matusevicius et al., 1999, Muft Scler 5, 101-104; Linden et al., Eur Respir J. 2000 May; 15(5):973-7; Molet et al., 2001, J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 108:430-438). Recent studies have suggested that IL-17F plays a role in the induction of inflammatory responses (Oda et al., 2006, American J. Resp. Crit. Care Medicine, Jan. 15, 2006; Numasaki et al., 2004, Immunol Lett. 95:97-104).

IL-17 Receptor A (IL-17RA) has been shown to bind and be activated by IL-17A and IL-17F. Five additional IL-17-like ligands (IL-17B-IL-17F) and four additional IL-17RA-like receptors (IL-17RB-IL-17RE) have been identified (Kolls and Linden, 2004, Immunity 21:467-476; Gaffen, 2009, Nat Rev Immunol 8:556-568). IL-17 Receptor C (IL-17RC) has been shown to bind and be activated by IL-17A and IL-17F. IL-17RA and IL-17RC form a functional heteromeric receptor complex (Toy et al., 2006, J. Immunol. 177:36-39; McAllister et al., 2005, J. Immunol. 175:404-412). In addition, IL-17 Receptor B (IL-17RB) has also been shown to require IL-17RA for IL-25 mediated activity (Rickel, et al., 2008, J. Immunol. 181:4299-4310), and IL-17RD interacts with IL-17RA to mediate IL-17 signaling (Rong, et al., 2009, Cell Research 19:208-215).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It is understood that any and all of the various attributes of the embodiments provided herein that are described in separate paragraphs and are later combined in a specific embodiment or the selection of a specific embodiment from a list of embodiments does not constitute added or new matter. Applicants affirmatively state that all such combinations are specifically envisioned and are specifically encompassed by this disclosure.

IL-17 Receptor “A”

“IL-17 receptor A” or “IL-17RA” (interchangeably used herein, as well as IL-17 receptor and IL-17R all refer to the same receptor) is the cell surface receptor known in the art (see for example Yao, et al., 1997, Cytokine Vol. 9, No. 11:794-800). The cloning, characterization of IL-17RA is described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,072,033, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. IL-17RA binds, at a minimum, IL-17A and/or IL-17F and is activated by IL-17A and/or IL-17F or other IL-17 ligands, as well as heteromeric forms of one or more IL-17 ligands, such as but not limited to, IL-17A/IL-17F heteromers.

IL-17RA Antibody Biopharmaceutical Formulations

Aspects of the present invention are directed to biopharmaceutical formulations (also referred to herein as simply “formulation”) incorporating the AM-14 antibody, as variously defined herein. AM-14 is described in detail in WO 2008/054603, U.S. Ser. No. 11/906,094, U.S. Pat. No. 7,786,234, U.S. Pat. No. 7,833,527, and U.S. Pat. No. 7,767,206 which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety. AM-14 specifically binds to human IL-17RA and inhibits the biological activity of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17A/IL-17F heterodimers, and/or the activation of IL-17RA as well as a heteromeric complex of IL-17RA and IL-17RC (IL-17 Receptor “C”). AM-14 also has the unique property of inhibiting IL-17RB (IL-17 Receptor “B”) activation through its ligand IL-25, while not being bound by this theory, presumably by affecting the heteromeric receptor complex comprising IL-17RA and IL-17RB. The IL-17RA-RB complex and the use of AM-14 in inhibiting the biological activity of IL-25 are described in PCT/US2009/001085 and is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.

AM-14 comprises a heavy chain sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:1 (or alternatively the heavy chain sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:12 which has the COOH-terminus Lys removed from SEQ ID NO:1) and a light chain sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:2, or a human IL-17RA binding fragment thereof. AM-14 comprises a heavy chain variable region sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:3 and a light chain variable region sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:4, or a human IL-17RA binding fragment thereof, wherein said AM-14 antibody binds human IL-17RA. AM-14 comprises a heavy chain CDR1 comprising SEQ ID NO:5, a heavy chain CDR2 comprising SEQ ID NO:6 (or alternatively the heavy chain CDR2 comprising SEQ ID NO:7), a heavy chain CDR3 comprising SEQ ID NO:8, a light chain CDR1 comprising SEQ ID NO:9, a light chain CDR2 comprising SEQ ID NO:10, and a light chain CDR3 comprising SEQ ID NO:11, or a human IL-17RA binding fragment thereof, wherein said AM-14 antibody binds human IL-17RA.

As used herein, the term “biopharmaceutical” is intended to mean a macromolecule such as a polypeptide, nucleic acid, carbohydrate or lipid, or building block thereof, that is intended for use as a pharmaceutical, which in this instance is the antibody AM-14. A “biopharmaceutical formulation” refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable medium that is compatible with a biopharmaceutical and is safe and non-toxic when administered to humans.

The term “a” or “an”, refers to one or more, for example, “an immunoglobulin molecule,” is understood to represent one or more immunoglobulin molecules. As such, the terms “a” (or “an”), “one or more,” and “at least one” can be used interchangeably herein.

It is understood that when describing a range of values, the characteristic being described can be an individual value found within the range. For example, “a pH from about pH 4 to about pH 6,” can be, but is not limited to, pH 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, etc. and any value in between such values. Additionally, “a pH from about pH 4 to about pH 6,” should not be construed to mean that the pH of a formulation in question varies 2 pH units in the range from pH 4 to pH 6 during storage, but rather a value may be picked in that range for the pH of the solution, and the pH remains buffered at about that pH.

A formulation comprising a buffering solution and AM-14 is provided. The buffering solution may comprise a glutamic acid or an acetic acid buffer. The buffering solution comprises a glutamic acid buffer. The specification also provides a method of preparing the formulation, methods of treating a condition using the formulated AM-14, and a kit containing components of the formulation.

A highly significant advance has been made in the formulation of AM-14 (i.e., biopharmaceutical formulations of AM-14) in that high concentrations of AM-14 in solution have been achieved. Therefore, embodiments include highly concentrated AM-14 formulations. High concentration AM-14 formulations are desirable in that this allows lower volume administration and/or fewer administrations and consequently less discomfort to the patient.

An additional highly significant advance is that AM-14 formulations have comparatively low viscosity at high protein concentrations. AM-14 formulations having lower viscosity are highly desirable, in that this facilitates manufacturability (such as but not limited to processing, filtering, and filling), the use standard syringe and needle configurations (as appropriate for the route of administration), adaptability to art-known auto-injector and microinfusion devices, ease of administration, and reducing shear forces to AM-14 upon administration. An added benefit of lower viscosity AM-14 formulations is less discomfort to the patient upon administration.

A further highly significant advance over the art is that AM-14 formulations described herein having high concentration of AM-14 (i.e., >100 mg/ml) are surprisingly stable, as described in the stability studies in Example 1.

In addition, it has been surprisingly found that glutamate-based formulations at 10 mM glutamate do not induce unacceptable stinging/pain upon subcutaneous injection, as described in Example 5.

As used herein, the term “acetic acid buffer” is intended to mean a buffer comprising acetic acid. The buffer can be made from an acetate salt, for example, sodium acetate. Other salts can be used, for example, potassium, ammonium, calcium or magnesium salts of acetate. “Acetic acid buffer” and “acetate buffer” are used interchangeably.

As used herein, the term “glutamic acid buffer” is intended to mean a buffer comprising glutamic acid. The buffer can be made from a glutamate salt, for example, sodium glutamate. Other salts can be used, for example, potassium, ammonium, calcium or magnesium salts of glutamate. “Glutamic acid buffer” and “glutamate buffer” are used interchangeably.

In other embodiments, the glutamic acid and/or the acetic acid buffers can be used in combination with proline as an excipient (including L-proline).

Embodiments of AM-14 formulations comprise an acetic acid or glutamic acid buffer having a pH of 4.5 to 5.5±0.2, or a range of 4.8 to 5.2±0.2, including a pH of 4.6±0.2, 4.7±0.2, 4.8±0.2, 4.9±0.2, 5.0±0.2, 5.1±0.2, 5.2±0.2, 5.3±0.2, 5.4±0.2, and 5.5±0.2. Embodiments of AM-14 formulations comprise a glutamic acid buffer having a pH of 4.8±0.2.

As used herein, the term “excipient” is intended to mean a therapeutically inactive substance. Excipients can be included in a biopharmaceutical formulation for a wide variety of purposes including, for example, as a diluent, vehicle, buffer, stabilizer, tonicity agent, bulking agent, surfactant, cryoprotectant, lyoprotectant, anti-oxidant, metal ion source, chelating agent and/or preservative. Optimal excipients also are chosen to enhance or provide stabilization with reference to the mode of administration for an aqueous biopharmaceutical formulation of the invention. For example, parenteral routes of intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) administration can be more safe and efficacious when all components of the formulation maintain physical and chemical stability during manufacture, storage and administration. The excipients exemplified herein for use in a biopharmaceutical formulation exhibit these and other characteristics. Excipients are well known in the art and can be found described in, for example, Wang W., Int. J. Pharm. 185:129-88 (1999) and Wang W., Int. J. Pharm. 203:1-60 (2000).

Excipients include, for example, polyols such as sorbitol or mannitol; sugars such as sucrose, lactose or dextrose; polymers such as polyethylene glycol; salts such as NaCl, KCl or calcium phosphate, amino acids such as glycine, methionine or glutamic acid, surfactants, metal ions, buffer salts such as propionate, acetate or succinate, preservatives and polypeptides such as human serum albumin, as well as saline and water. Other excipients useful in either a liquid or lyophilized biopharmaceutical formulation of the invention include, for example, fucose, cellobiose, maltotriose, melibiose, octulose, ribose, xylitol, arginine, histidine, glycine, alanine, methionine, glutamic acid, lysine, imidazole, glycylglycine, mannosylglycerate, Triton X-100, Pluoronic F-127, cellulose, cyclodextrin, dextran (10, 40 and/or 70 kD), polydextrose, maltodextrin, ficoll, gelatin, hydroxypropylmeth, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, ZnCl2, zinc, zinc oxide, sodium citrate, trisodium citrate, tromethamine, copper, fibronectin, heparin, human serum albumin, protamine, glycerin, glycerol, EDTA, metacresol, benzyl alcohol and phenol. Sugar alcohols, also known as a polyols, polyhydric alcohols, or polyalcohols, are hydrogenated forms of carbohydrate having a carbonyl group reduced to a primary or secondary hydroxyl group. Polyols can be used as stabilizing excipients and/or isotonicity agents in both liquid and lyophilized formulations. Polyols can protect biopharmaceuticals from both physical and chemical degradation pathways. Preferentially excluded co-solvents increase the effective surface tension of solvent at the protein interface whereby the most energetically favorable structural conformations are those with the smallest surface areas. Specific examples of sugar alcohols include sorbitol, glycerol, mannitol, xylitol, maltitol, lactitol, erythritol and threitol. Reducing sugars include, for example, sugars with a ketone or aldehyde group and contain a reactive hemiacetal group, which allows the sugar to act as a reducing agent. Specific examples of reducing sugars include fructose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, lactose, arabinose, mannose, xylose, ribose, rhamnose, galactose and maltose. Non-reducing sugars contain an anomeric carbon that is an acetal and is not substantially reactive with amino acids or polypeptides to initiate a Maillard reaction.

As used herein, the term “surfactant” is intended to mean a substance that functions to reduce the surface tension of a liquid in which it is dissolved. Surfactants can be included in a biopharmaceutical formulation for a variety of purposes including, for example, to prevent or control aggregation, particle formation and/or surface adsorption in liquid formulations or to prevent or control these phenomena during the lyophilization and/or reconstitution process in lyophilized formulations. Surfactants include, for example, amphipathic organic compounds that exhibit partial solubility in both organic solvents and aqueous solutions. General characteristics of surfactants include their ability to reduce the surface tension of water, reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water and also form micelles. Surfactants of the invention include non-ionic and ionic surfactants. Surfactants are well known in the art and can be found described in, for example, Randolph T. W. and Jones L. S., Surfactant-protein interactions. Pharm Biotechnol. 13:159-75 (2002). Non-ionic surfactants include, for example, alkyl poly (ethylene oxide), alkyl polyglucosides such as octyl glucoside and decyl maltoside, fatty alcohols such as cetyl alcohol and oleyl alcohol, cocamide MEA, cocamide DEA, and cocamide TEA. Specific examples of non-ionic surfactants include the polysorbates including, for example, polysorbate 20, polysorbate 28, polysorbate 40, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 65, polysorbate 80, polysorbate 81, polysorbate 85 and the like; the poloxamers including, for example, poloxamer 188, also known as poloxalkol or poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide), poloxamer 407 or polyethylene-polypropylene glycol and the like, and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Polysorbate 20 is synonymous with TWEEN 20®, sorbitan monolaurate and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate. Ionic surfactants include, for example, anionic, cationic and zwitterionic surfactants. Anionic surfactants include, for example, sulfonate-based or carboxylate-based surfactants such as soaps, fatty acid salts, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), ammonium lauryl sulfate and other alkyl sulfate salts. Cationic surfactants include, for example, quaternary ammonium-based surfactants such as cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), other alkyltrimethylammonium salts, cetyl pyridinium chloride, polyethoxylated tallow amine (POEA) and benzalkonium chloride. Zwitterionic or amphoteric surfactants include, for example, dodecyl betaine, dodecyl dimethylamine oxide, cocamidopropyl betaine and coco ampho glycinate.

Embodiments of AM-14 formulations include polysorbate 20 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate) as a surfactant, which can be included at concentration ranges of about 0.003 to 1% (w/v), or a range of about 0.008 to 0.02% (w/v) including 0.003, 0.004, 0.005, 0.006, 0.007, 0.008, 0.009, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, or 1% (w/v).

An AM-14 formulation can be prepared to be isotonic relative to a reference solution or fluid (i.e., blood serum). An isotonic solution has a substantially similar amount of dissolved solute in it compared to the things around it so that it is osmotically stable. Unless expressly compared to a specific solution or fluid, isotonic or isotonicity is exemplary used herein by reference to human blood serum (e.g., 300 mOsmol/kg). Therefore, an isotonic AM-14 formulation will contain a substantially similar concentration of solutes or exhibit substantially similar osmotic pressure as human blood. In general, an isotonic solution contains about the same concentration of solutes as normal saline for humans and many other mammals, which is about 0.9 weight percent (0.009 g/ml) salt in aqueous solution (e.g., 0.009 g/ml NaCl).

As described in Examples 2 and 6, AM-14 shows efficacy in treating psoriasis in human patients. Examples 2 and 6 provide clinical evidence of AM-14's efficacy in treating psoriasis in human patients having psoriasis, and in particular, plaque psoriasis. Subcutaneous and intravenous administration of AM-14 significantly reduced the symptoms of psoriasis. Example 2 describes the reduction in psoriatic symptoms, as measured by the art-accepted PASI scoring system. Tables 2.9, 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11 show PASI scores and % PASI (i.e., % reduction in PASI score).

Furthermore, sophisticated PK-PD modeling was performed based on the data from the Phase 1 psoriasis study (see Example 2). The predictive model correlated very closely to the actual PASI response data (see FIG. 11), which substantiates the validity of predicting efficacy for various doses. In addition, FIG. 12 shows the predicted time course of mean PASI response for four multiple dose scenarios (over 12 weeks) including placebo effect based on the model developed from single dose data. The modeled placebo response was assumed to act after only the first dose. The mean response for the 140 mg SC dose (at WK 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) was expected to exceed 50% PASI improvement for much of the study period including the 12 week (day 84) primary efficacy endpoint. The mean response for the 210 and 280 mg SC doses (at WK 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) was expected to exceed 75% PASI improvement for much of the study period including the 12 week (day 84) primary efficacy endpoint. And finally, FIG. 13 depicts the predicted week 12 median percent PASI improvement (dose-response curve) for AM-14, with 90% confidence interval shaded; for various dose levels each administered SC at week 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.

Example 6 describes a Phase 2 study wherein AM-14 showed remarkable efficacy in treating psoriasis. Subjects received 70, 140, or 210 mg AM-14 at day 1 and weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 or 280 mg at day 1 and weeks 4 and 8. AM-14 showed the following PASI responses at week 12: 70 mg dosing achieved a 33.3% PASI 75 response; 70 mg dosing achieved a 17.9% PASI 90 response; 70 mg dosing achieved a 10.3% PASI 100 response; 140 mg dosing achieved a 76.9% PASI 75 response; 140 mg dosing achieved a 71.8% PASI 90 response; 140 mg dosing achieved a 38.5% PASI 100 response; 210 mg dosing achieved a 82.5% PASI 75 response; 210 mg dosing achieved a 75.0% PASI 90 response; 210 mg dosing achieved a 62.5% PASI 100 response; 280 mg dosing achieved a 66.7% PASI 75 response; 280 mg dosing achieved a 57.1% PASI 90 response; and 280 mg dosing achieved a 28.6% PASI 100 response. Therefore, administration of AM-14 at the dosages and administration schedules described herein may be used to reduce the PASI score in a patient having psoriasis by at least 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100%.

AM-14 Formulations

Numerous formulations were prepared using lab scale UF/DF (ultrafiltration/diafiltration) system at room temperature for the purpose of identifying excipients and formulations that are uniquely suited for AM-14. The UF/DF buffers were prepared at lower pH (3.5, 3.8 or 4.0) with glutamic acid or acetic acid as buffering agents and various excipients including sucrose, L-proline, glycine, sorbitol, and others.

Sample preparation from lyophilized vials for reconstitution of AM-14 at a higher concentration (180 mg/mL) was performed as follows: UF/DF of AM-14 final purified bulk (FPB) was performed from 70 mg/mL A52Su (10 mM acetic acid, 9% sucrose, pH 5.2)[ ] formulation to approximately 90 mg/mL with a 5-fold increase in diafiltration volume (ml) of a) 10 mM glutamate, 0.5% sucrose, pH 4.2, and b) 10 mM glutamate, 0.5% sucrose, pH 5.2, respectively. After UF/DF, the resulting concentrations for the above two conditions were 90.8 mg/mL at pH 5.33 for a), and 89.6 mg/mL at pH 5.63 for b) buffers, respectively. The AM-14 formulations were filtered through 0.45 micron filters and 1.25 mL were filled into 3 cc glass vials. The formulations were lyophilized. The samples prepared from buffer a) are denoted with E4.5_ (i.e., 10 mM glutamate, pH 4.5), and samples from buffer b) are denoted with E5.5_ (i.e., 10 mM glutamate, pH 5.5). At room temperature, E4.5 vials were reconstituted with 0.685 mL of one of the diluents listed in Table 1.0) and E5.5 vials were reconstituted with 0.596 mL of one of the diluents listed in Table 1.0), which is approximately half of its initial fill volume, resulting in the reconstituted formulations having a final concentration of 20 mM glutamate. After the lyophilized cakes were dissolved, the samples were ready for viscosity measurement.

The viscosity of the protein liquid formulations was measured by a rheometer with the cone/plate geometry (RV III+ model, Brookfield Engineering Labs, Inc., Middleboro, Mass.). Sample temperature was maintained at 25° C. during measurement with a water bath. The spindle speed ranged from 15 to 125 rpm with 10 rpm per increment. Data collection was carried out with Rheocalc™ software, version 2.7. At each shear condition, 4 readings were collected with 10 second interval, and each data point was the average of the 4 readings. After a new shear condition was established, the first reading was made after 30 second waiting time. See Tables 1.0 and 1.1. The viscosity results for the formulations listed in Table 1.0 were graphed as a function of shear stress and are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

With reference to Table 1.1, Formulation 1, having a final pH of 5.11, and Formulation 2, having a final pH of 3.33, showed significantly higher viscosity, while those formulations having a pH of 4.55 to 4.93 had much lower viscosity, demonstrating a clear optimal range of pH in a highly concentrated formulation of AM-14 that yielded lower viscosity.

A separate study was performed to investigate the relationship between viscosity and varying concentrations of AM-14 in the A52S formulation (10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.2, 5% sorbitol). Table 1.3 shows AM-14 was formulated at concentrations ranging from approximately 48 mg/ml to approximately 163 mg/ml. The effect on viscosity is depicted in FIG. 3.

In a separate study, the effect of pH on a highly concentrated formulation of AM-14 was conducted. AM-14 concentrations were approximately 200 mg/mL. The samples were prepared similarly using lyophilization process. The starting material was 70 mg/mL AM-14 in a buffer of 10 mM glutamate, pH 4.8 and 1% sucrose. The 1.5 mL of starting material was filled in 3 cc vials and then lyophilized. Each vial contained approximately 100 mg of AM-14. A series of solutions of 30 mM glutamate and 30 mM histidine at pH 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 were prepared. 0.5 mL of these buffers was added to the lyophilized vials to generate the material for viscosity measurement, which was about 200 mg/mL with different pH values. The effect of pH on the viscosity of AM-14 was determined and shown in FIG. 4, which depicts a subset of this data. This data demonstrates that the viscosity measured at 25° C. at higher pH, such as pH higher than 5.7 (viscosity is >40 cP) has a much higher viscosity than that seen at lower pH formulations (viscosity is greater or equal to 20 cP).

Stability studies for AM-14 were performed using either a 3 cc glass vial or a 1 mL pre-filled glass syringe. Samples were stored at 4, 25, 29, 37, 40, and 45 degrees C. Standard stability indicating assays were used to monitor the stability of the AM-14 formulations including SE-HPLC, CEX-HPLC, HIAC (sub-visible particle) and visual inspection.

Dosages and Treatment Regimens for Treating Inflammatory Diseases in Humans with Anti-IL-17 Receptor “A” Monoclonal Antibodies
Pre-Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism Studies

Pharmacokinetic studies included an one-month and a three-month toxicology studies. AM-14 was quantified in cynomolgus monkey serum using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Briefly, microplate wells were coated with a mouse anti-AM-14 monoclonal antibody. Standards and quality controls were prepared by spiking AM-14 into a 100% cynomolgus monkey serum pool. The AM-14 in the standards, quality controls, and study samples was captured by immobilized mouse anti-AM-14 monoclonal antibody and then a second mouse anti-AM-14 monoclonal antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was added to bind the captured AM-14. A tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate solution reacted with peroxide, and in the presence of HRP, created a colorimetric signal that was proportional to the amount of AM-14 bound by the capture antibody. The optical density was measured at 450 nm minus 650 nm. Data were reduced using a Logistic (auto-estimate) regression model with a weighting factor of 1/Y². The nominal dynamic range of the assay for the 3 studies was 50 to 2500 ng/mL.

Single-Dose Pharmacokinetic Study

The pharmacokinetics of a single-dose pharmacokinetic study of AM-14 given to male cynomolgus monkeys following IV (intravenous) or SC (sub-cutaneous) administration objective was performed. 15 male cynomolgus monkeys were randomly assigned to 5 groups (n=3 per group) and received a 0.5 or 50 mg/kg IV dose of AM-14 or a 0.5, 5, or 50 mg/kg SC dose of AM-14.

AM-14 serum concentration was shown to increase with increased dosing. After a single IV bolus, a 339-fold increase in AUC_0-intwas observed for a 100-fold dose increase. After SC doses ranging from 0.5 to 5 mg/kg, AM-14 exposure (both AUC_0-infand C_max) increased greater than dose proportionally. However, after SC doses ranging from 5 to 50 mg/kg, the exposure increased approximately dose proportionally (Table 2.1).

Because the pharmacokinetic profile of AM-14 was non-linear, it was necessary to further analyze the data using a compartmental approach, and therefore, the data were fitted to a 2-compartment model with Michaelis-Menten elimination and an additional first order component of elimination.

The compartmental analysis performed (Table 2.2) estimated a first order clearance component of elimination of 1.78 mL/hr, a maximum elimination rate (V_max) of 34.4 ug/hr, and a K_mof 0.984 ug/mL. When the doses of AM-14 led to serum concentrations below 0.1 ug/mL (approximately 0.1-fold the K_mvalue), the saturable elimination pathway was totally free and the kinetics could be considered linear. Similarly, when the dose of AM-14 led to serum concentrations above 10 ug/mL (approximately 10-fold the K_mvalue) during at least 3 to 4 half-lives, the saturable elimination component was negligible and the kinetics could also be considered linear. However, when the dose of AM-14 led to serum concentrations between 0.1 and 10 ug/mL, the non-linear component became relevant and the elimination kinetics varied depending on the dose and dose frequency; this translated into different effective half-life values.

AM-14 exhibited nonlinear pharmacokinetics after single dose IV or SC administration in cynomolgus monkeys that was consistent with target-mediated disposition, and was most pronounced following single SC administration up to 5 mg/kg. After single or multiple SC doses ranging from 5 to 350 mg/kg, the exposure increased approximately dose proportionally. No marked difference between sexes in AM-14 exposure and moderate accumulation were observed after multiple weekly dosing in cynomolgus monkeys for 1 or 3 months.

Clinical Effects of AM-14 in Humans

AM-14 was evaluated in two Phase 1 clinical studies. Study no. 1 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending single-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AM-14 in healthy subjects and subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis. A single dose of AM-14 at 7, 21, 70, 140, 210, 350, or 420 mg SC or 21, 210, or 700 mg IV was administered, as shown in Table 2.3. This was a 2-part study in healthy subjects (Part A) and subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis (Part B). Healthy subjects were assigned to 1 of 8 sequential dosing cohorts and randomly assigned (3:1) within each cohort to receive a single SC or IV dose of AM-14 or placebo (Table 2.3). Subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis were assigned to 1 of 3 dosing cohorts and randomly assigned within each cohort to receive a single IV or SC dose of AM-14 or placebo.

AM-14 was formulated in 10 mM sodium acetate, 9% (w/v) sucrose, and 0.004% polysorbate 20, pH 5.2 at a final concentration of 70 mg/mL.

A semi-quantitative flow cytometric assay was developed to measure the expression of IL-17 receptor in subjects, allowing for estimates of biochemical coverage by AM-14 on lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes, with each cell type easily identifiable by standard flow cytometry gating procedures known in the art. Blood specimens from subjects were collected on days −1, 1 (predose), 3, 5, 8 or 15, 29, 43, 64, and 85. The RO calculation was obtained using IL-17R coverage by AM-14 (with a competitive labeled antibody) in combination with total IL-17R expression (using a non-competitive IL-17R antibody). The results of the mean percent RO in healthy volunteers receiving AM-14 doses between 21 and 700 mg are summarized in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, respectively. Mean values for AM-14 occupancy of the IL-17 receptor on granulocytes of healthy volunteers are shown These data demonstrate biochemical coverage of the IL-17 receptor on whole blood granulocytes at various times pre-dose (0) or post-dose of AM-14 administered either by the subcutaneous (-) or intravenous (---) route. Receptor occupancy was calculated from a baseline-normalized ratio AM-14-PE (competitive anti-IL17R mAb) to M204-PE (non-competitive anti-IL-17R mAb) multiplied by 100%. Technical variability in the assay at low levels of occupancy can generate values below zero, which are arbitrarily set to the x-axis. This includes datapoints from the 21 mg IV cohort (Days 1, 8, 29, and 43) and the 210 mg IV and SC groups (Day 64).

The results of the mean percent RO in patients with psoriasis receiving AM-14 doses between 21 and 700 mg are summarized in FIG. 6. Mean values for AM-14 occupancy of the IL-17 receptor on granulocytes of patients with psoriasis are shown. These data demonstrate biochemical coverage of the IL-17 receptor on whole blood granulocytes at various times pre-dose (0) or post-dose. Receptor occupancy was calculated from a baseline-normalized ratio of AM-14-PE (competitive anti-IL17R mAb) to M204-PE (non-competitive anti-IL-17R mAb) multiplied by 100%. Technical variability in the assay at low levels of occupancy can generate values below zero, which are arbitrarily set to the x-axis. This includes 2 datapoints from the 140 mg SC cohort and 2 data points from the 350 mg SC cohort.

Maximal coverage was observed at the first sampling time in all subjects, at all dosage levels. Partial RO was observed at days 3 and 5 at the 7 and 21 mg SC dose levels. Greater than 90% mean RO was achieved for the 21 mg IV dose level and all cohorts treated with 70 mg AM-14 and higher. More prolonged RO was detectable as AM-14 dose levels escalated. Greater than 90% IL-17R RO was observed from 5 to 29 days post-treatment in individuals receiving 420 or 700 mg AM-14 in a single dose. This data shows that healthy volunteers and psoriasis patients exhibited similar RO profiles when administered equivalent doses of AM-14. There were no apparent changes in the percentage of monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes, or lymphocyte subsets, including T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells.

Multiple Doses in Subjects with RA

Blood specimens from subjects were collected on days −1, 1 (predose), 3, 15, 43, and 85 and assayed using a semi-quantitative flow cytometric assay. Results of mean percent RO in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients receiving ascending doses of AM-14 are summarized in FIG. 7. Notably there were no differences between RA subjects and healthy volunteers in expression levels of IL-17R or AM-14 binding to leukocytes based on comparative in vitro studies in these populations. FIG. 7 shows the mean IL-17 receptor occupancy on granulocytes in RA patients pre-dose (0) or post-dose AM-14 treatment. Receptor occupancy was calculated from a baseline-normalized ratio AM-14-PE (competitive anti-IL17R mAb) to M204-PE (non-competitive anti-IL-17R mAb). Technical variability in the assay at low levels of occupancy can generate values below zero, which are arbitrarily set to the x-axis. This includes day −1 of the 50 and 140 mg cohorts and day 1 of the 210 mg cohort.

Maximal granulocyte RO by AM-14 was observed 3 days post-treatment at all dose levels. Patients enrolled in cohort 1 (50 mg) exhibited 95% RO at Day 3 and partial RO (32% to 39%) when drug reached trough levels on Days 15, 43, and 85. All patients in cohort 2 (140 mg) exhibited greater than 95% RO on Day 3, and greater than 80% RO on Day 15. At Day 43, RO was greater than 90% in all patients, suggesting some degree of accumulation of AM-14. Receptor occupancy remained above 90% in 5 of 6 patients at Day 85 and all patients exhibited greater than 80% RO. Data through Day 15 for cohort 3 (210 mg) showed that patients exhibited greater than 95% RO at Day 3. There were no apparent changes in the percentage of monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes, or lymphocyte subsets including T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells in any cohort of RA patients treated with AM-14.

Whole Blood Stimulation Assay

Assessment of Biological Effects of AM-14 Using an Ex Vivo Whole Blood Stimulation Assay

To demonstrate a functional biological effect of AM-14 on IL-17R signaling, a pharmacodynamic assay using human whole blood was developed and incorporated into Study no. 1. In this assay, human whole blood was collected pre- and post-dosing with AM-14 and then stimulated with TNF and a dose-titration of IL-17 for 4 hours. The cells were then lysed and the lysate was subsequently analyzed for IL-17 responsive genes, including IL-6, using a branched DNA (bDNA) signal amplification assay. In the presence of AM-14, the induction of IL-6 mRNA is competitively inhibited, with an observed increase in EC50 for IL-17 dependent increases in expression. These data can be expressed quantitatively as a shift in the EC50 response to IL-17 relative to the predose baseline for each patient.

The EC50 curves for IL-17 stimulation of IL-6 mRNA (as measured by the bDNA assay) were significantly shifted compared with predose after a single dose of AM-14. Some level of functional signaling blockade was noted in all AM-14-treated healthy subjects from cohort 4 (70 mg SC) on day 5, and all AM-14-treated healthy subjects in cohorts 5 (210 mg SC) to cohort 8 (700 mg IV) on day 15. In cohort 9 (700 mg IV), all 4 tested AM-14-treated psoriasis subjects showed functional blockade at day 29, and 3 of 4 subjects showed blockade at day 43. The average log 10 EC50 shift for each cohort at the tested time points is shown in Table 2.5.

Competitive Antagonism Model for Whole Blood Stimulation Data

Preliminary pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses using a competitive antagonist model enabled the modeling of the effects of AM-14 on IL-17R function based on the ex vivo whole blood stimulation (WBS) assay. The dissociation constant (K_i) was estimated to be 51 ng/mL, and the AM-14 IC₅₀and IC₉₀levels of IL-17R inhibition were estimated to be within the ranges of approximately 130 to 540 and approximately 2860 to 15600 ng/mL, respectively, when IL-17 concentration is assumed to range from 0.5 to 50 ng/mL.

Pharmacokinetics of AM-14 in Humans

Serum Pharmacokinetics in Single Dose in Healthy Subjects and Subjects with Psoriasis

Single-dose IV and SC AM-14 pharmacokinetic data were obtained for the healthy subjects in cohorts 1 to 8 and the psoriasis subjects in cohorts 9 to 11. AM-14 serum concentrations were not detectable in any sample from cohort 1 (7 mg SC) or in the majority of samples from cohort 2 (21 mg SC). The AM-14 serum concentration vs time profiles from all other healthy volunteer cohorts exhibited nonlinear pharmacokinetics and the exposure (as assessed by the maximum observed concentration [C_max] and the area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration [AUC_0-t]) increased greater than dose proportionally (Table 2.6). After 70, 210, or 420 mg SC administration, the median time to C_max(t_max) ranged from 48 to 168 hours. The apparent bioavailability after SC administration was estimated to be approximately 70% based on simultaneous pharmacokinetic modeling of all SC and IV cohort data. Pharmacokinetic parameters for 700 mg IV dosing in psoriasis subjects appeared to be comparable to those in healthy volunteers based on direct comparison of 700 mg IV concentration-time curves in healthy volunteer and psoriasis subjects (cohort 8 and cohort 9). Two separate biomarker assays were implemented to determine the biological activity of AM-14 in whole blood, including receptor occupancy and functional blockade of the IL-17 receptor, as described above. Both assays demonstrated a direct relationship between the serum concentrations of AM-14 and the functional readouts of these assays, including target (IL-17R) coverage and log EC50 shift measured by the whole blood stimulation assay. Samples with measurable circulating AM-14 consistently showed IL-17 receptor occupancy and an increase in log EC50, with higher shifts at higher concentrations.

Serum Pharmacokinetics in Multiple Doses in Subjects with RA

Preliminary multi-dose SC AM-14 pharmacokinetic data were obtained from RA subjects in the phase 1b study. AM-14 serum concentration data were available through the end of study for all cohort 1 subjects (50 mg every 2 weeks) and up to day 85 for majority of the cohort 2 subjects (140 mg every 2 weeks). AM-14 exhibited nonlinear pharmacokinetics in RA subjects and the exposure (as assessed by C_maxand AUC_0-t) after the first and the last (6^th) SC dose increased greater than dose proportionally from the 50 to 140 mg dose (Table 2.7). The median t_maxranged from 36 to 96 hours. Minimal accumulation was observed after 6 doses of 50 mg SC administered every 2 weeks, whereas the accumulation was minimal after 140 mg administered every 2 weeks. Pharmacokinetics of AM-14 after the first SC dose of 140 mg in RA subjects appeared to be comparable to those after single 140 mg SC dosing in psoriasis subjects (cohort 10; C_max=5.47±3.00 μg/mL, AUC_0-t=631±347 μg-hr/mL).

Psoriasis Study Results

Fifty-seven healthy subjects were enrolled into cohorts 1 to 8; 43 subjects received AM-14 and 14 subjects received placebo. Twenty-five subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis were enrolled into cohorts 9 to 11. In cohort 9, 8 subjects received AM-14 and 2 subjects received placebo; in cohort 10, 4 subjects received AM-14 and 1 subject received placebo, and in cohort 11, 8 subjects received AM-14 and 2 subjects received placebo.

PASI scores for all psoriasis subjects (A-J) in cohort 9 through day 85 (end of study) are presented in Table 2.8. PASI scores for all psoriasis subjects (A-E) in cohort 10 through day 85 (end of study) are presented in Table 2.10. PASI scores for all psoriasis subjects (A-J) in cohort 11 through day 85 (end of study) are presented in Table 2.11.

In cohort 9 (700 mg IV) maximal PASI effects were observed at day 43, at which time a 75% reduction in PASI score (PASI 75) was observed in 7 of 8 (88%) subjects receiving AM-14 (Table 2.8). All subjects receiving AM-14 in cohort 9 reached a PASI 50 (50% reduction) by day 29, while no subjects receiving placebo attained a PASI 50 response at any time point. A PASI 90 response (90% reduction from baseline PASI score) was observed in 3 of 8 (38%) subjects by day 43 receiving 700 mg IV AM-14 (Tables 2.8 and 2.9). Compared to the high dose group of PsO subjects (700 mg IV), there were lower PASI responses for subjects receiving 140 mg and 350 mg of AM-14 given SC. As shown in Table 2.10, only 1 of 4 subjects had a significant PASI response (>50%) in the 140 mg SC dose group and this response was gone by day 43. In the 350 mg SC cohort, 6 of 8 and 5 of 8 subjects achieved PASI 50 and PASI 75, respectively, during the course of the study (Table 2.11).

There was a positive relationship between AM-14 dose and PASI 50/75/90 response among the AM-14-treated subjects. No subjects who received placebo achieved a PASI 50 response or greater at any postdose time point. The mean percent improvement in PASI score increased with increasing AM-14 dose through Day 29. The 700 mg IV and 350 mg SC groups had higher mean percent improvement in PASI scores than the placebo group at all postdose time points. A total of 7 of 8 (88%) and 5 of 8 (63%) subjects in the 700 mg IV and 350 mg SC groups, respectively, achieved a PASI 75 score or greater response. The 140 mg SC group had higher mean percent improvement in PASI scores than the placebo group up to Day 29, with 2 of 4 subjects (50%) achieving a PASI 50 response at any postdose time point.

The mean PGA improvement from baseline scores was higher in the 700 mg IV group compared with the placebo group at all time points; these differences were statistically significant (α=0.05) at all time points based on post hoc analyses, an exception was the mean PGA improvement score on Day 85 (p=0.0510). Based on post hoc analyses, the mean PGA improvement scores from baseline were significantly (α=0.05) higher in the 350 mg SC group compared with placebo on Days 15 and 43; similar results were observed for the 140 mg SC group on Day 15 (α=0.05).

Rheumatoid Arthritis Study Results

To date, all subjects in cohorts 1-3 (50 mg SC, 140 mg SC and 210 mg SC) have completed the study. All 24 subjects enrolled in cohorts 1-3 were receiving concomitant MTX (n=23) or leflunomide (n=1). To date all subjects in cohort 5 (420 mg IV) have completed dosing, and 6 of 8 subjects in cohort 6 (700 mg IV) have been enrolled. AM-14 has been well tolerated at the doses tested (50, 140, and 210 mg SC).

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Modeling

Compartmental pharmacokinetic modeling was conducted on AM-14 serum concentration time data from the healthy volunteers (cohorts 3 to 8). A two-compartment model with parallel linear and nonlinear elimination pathways and an added compartment for SC absorption was used to describe the AM-14 concentration-time data. The nonlinear elimination pathway was modeled via Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with resulting maximum elimination rate (V_max) and Michaelis-Menten constant (K_m) of 1290 μg/day/mL (4% SE) and 14.9 ng/mL (270% SE), respectively. The estimated human pharmacokinetic parameters were used to simulate pharmacokinetic concentration-time profiles and calculate exposures (AUC and C_max) across a range of single and multiple IV and SC doses for potential clinical study. The single-dose predictions compared well with subsequent available data from the psoriasis cohorts (cohorts 9 to 11). The multiple dose predictions also compared well with available data from cohorts 1 and 2 of the phase 1b study, although with less accumulation of concentration than expected for the 140 mg every 2 weeks dosing. Additionally, the model also predicted well for AM-14 pharmacokinetics in RA subjects in the phase 1b study, suggesting comparable pharmacokinetics of AM-14 among healthy and disease (both RA and psoriasis) populations.

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Relationships

There was a monotonically increasing relationship between the pEC50 shift measured by the whole blood stimulation assay and the concentration of circulating AM-14 measured by the pharmacokinetic assay, as shown in FIG. 8. The concentration of AM-14 is on the x-axis and the pEC50 shift is on the y-axis. The log EC50 shift is measured from the average of 2 baseline samples. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for the PK assay was 50 ng/mL, and therefore post-dose samples below the LLOQ are plotted at 25 ng/mL on the x-axis, and have log EC50 values predominantly below 2. The mean log EC50 shift for placebo samples is 0.02±0.6. Samples with measurable circulating AM-14 consistently show an increase in log EC50, with higher shifts at higher concentrations. Similar to placebo samples, the log EC50 shift with samples at low concentrations of AM-14, below the LLOQ of 50 ng/mL, is limited. The overall relationship fits a model of competitive inhibition between AM-14 and IL-17A.

AM-14 proposed doses and dosing regimens are depicted in FIG. 9 based on modeling described above. The IC₅₀and IC₉₀levels for AM-14 are based on data from the ex vivo whole blood stimulation assay, and uses a competitive antagonism PK/PD model over an IL-17 concentration range of 0.5 to 50 ng/mL. IC_50/90: AM-14 serum concentration that inhibits the increase of IL-6 mRNA level by 50/90% in the ex vivo whole blood assay. The 70 mg dose (with week 1 load) is projected to achieve significant exposure above the IC₅₀level. The 140 and 210 mg doses administered every 2 weeks (with an additional dose at week 1) are expected to achieve sustained exposure within and above, respectively, the expected IC₉₀range for the duration of the study period. The 280 mg dose administered every 4 weeks is also expected to achieve exposure within the expected IC₉₀range, but with trough excursions below the IC₅₀range.

The exposure margins were estimated as the ratio of exposure in cynomolgus monkeys post-dose on day 78 at 90 mg/kg SC to the predicted human exposure at steady state. The mean AUC_0-168hrand C_maxafter dosing on Day 78 in the monkey toxicokinetic study was 159,000 ug-hr/mL and 1180 ug/mL, respectively. The predicted steady state AUC_0-336hrafter the third dose of 70, 140, or 210 mg doses administered every 2 weeks (with week 1 load) were 552, 4320, and 8230 ug-hr/mL and the predicted steady state AUC_0-672h, after the third and final dose of 280 mg administered every 4 weeks was 5280 ug-hr/mL. The 2-week margins based on AUC of the predicted human exposures relative to the exposures in the toxicity studies for 70, 140, and 210 mg are 576, 74, and 39, respectively. For the 280 mg dose, the predicted 4 week margin was 121.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) data (serum drug concentrations measured at pre-specified time points) of AM-14 were collected for each subject in Study 1. Pharmacodynamic (PD) data (PASI score at baseline and pre-specified times post dose) were also collected for subjects in the final three cohorts (subjects diagnosed with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis). Modeling was performed on preliminary data to characterize the PK response in all subjects (based on actual dose administered) and to characterize the PD response (based on individual PK response).

A two compartment PK model with parallel linear and non-linear (Michaelis-Menten) elimination pathways and an added compartment for subcutaneous dose absorption was determined to best fit the data (see FIG. 10). Variance components were incorporated characterizing between-patient variability as well as residual variability. To model the PD, a peripheral effect site compartment was added to the model coupled with an indirect response model of inflammation synthesis and degradation. Placebo absorption and time-course compartments were compartment also added to model the time course of placebo response. Key assumptions in the model included: inflammation was measured as PASI score; drug concentrations in the effect site compartment inhibited inflammation synthesis; placebo effect acted to stimulate reduction of inflammation for all subjects; and endogenous synthesis (rate) of inflammation occurred until dose administration. Other PD models were also investigated but were found to be less optimal. The nonlinear mixed effects software NONMEM VI (Icon Development Solutions, Ellicott City, Md., USA.) was used to fit all models to data.

FIG. 11 compares observed and predicted mean PASI response time-course (as percent change from baseline) after single dose administration of AM-14 or placebo. The model characterizes well the actual PASI response data. Mean peak response for the highest dose (700 mg IV) was greater than 80% PASI improvement.

FIG. 12 presents predicted time course of mean PASI response for four multiple dose scenarios (over 12 weeks) including placebo effect based on the model developed from single dose data. The modeled placebo response was assumed to act after only the first dose, this being a conservative estimate. The mean response for the 140 mg SC dose (at WK 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) was expected to exceed 50% PASI improvement for much of the study period including the 12 week (day 84) primary efficacy endpoint. The mean response for the 210 and 280 mg SC doses (at WK 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) was expected to exceed 75% PASI improvement for much of the study period including the 12 week (day 84) primary efficacy endpoint. The predicted response for repeated 210 and 280 mg dosing is similar to, but of longer duration than, that observed for the single 700 mg IV dose, as shown in FIG. 11.

FIG. 13 depicts predicted week 12 dose responses for a range of doses (mg SC) given at WK 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 based on the response predicted in FIG. 12 at day 84 (week 12). Dose-response curves (with 90% CI) are given for mean week 12 PASI response and percent of subjects expected to achieve PASI 50, 75, 90 at week 12.

Example 3
Gene Regulation in Psoriasis Patients with an IL-17 Antagonistic Antibody

The following data demonstrates that inhibition of IL-17R activation strongly influences gene regulation in psoriasis patients. Therefore, aspects of the invention include methods of regulating gene expression in psoriasis patients using IL-17 antagonistic antibodies. An “IL-17 antagonistic antibody” is an antibody that inhibits IL-17A or IL-17A/F from activating its cognate receptor(s) including IL-17RA, IL-17RC, and IL-17RA/RC. IL-17 antagonistic antibodies includes antibodies against IL-17RA or antibodies against IL-17A and/or IL-17A/F.

In patients from cohort 9 of Study 1 (see Example 2), predose 6 mm skin punch biopsies were taken from a non-lesional location and from a lesion that was large enough to support two further nearby biopsies after dosing. Two subsequent biopsies were taken two weeks and six weeks after treatment with AM-14, at the predesignated lesional positions, regardless of skin lesional appearance at the time of biopsy. The biopsies were immediately sliced longitudinally, with one half immediately placed into liquid nitrogen, and the other half frozen in standard OCT medium for IHC (immunohistochemistry). Placement into liquid nitrogen was specified to happen in less than two minutes after initial punch, and the OCT freezing specified to happen within five minutes of the initial punch. The frozen punches were maintained at −70 C or in dry ice.

RNA was prepared using standard Qiagen® or Ambion® RNA isolation kits from the punches without allowing them to thaw. The RNA was checked for quality and yield, and then processed with the NuGen Ovation® labeling kits for analysis on Affymetrix® U133plus2 microarrays. The data were transferred as .CEL files into Rosetta Resolver for analysis.

Ratios (Resolver id numbers 69671, 69672, and 69673) were calculated between the three sets of lesional samples (Predose, Day 15, and Day 43) versus the non-lesional baseline samples, to generate fold-change values, using only the Cohort 9 samples from patients receiving AM-14. Arrays used were barcodes skn47471, skn47475, skn48862, skn48866, skn48870, skn48876, skn48879, skn48883 (non-lesional), skn47470, skn47474, skn48861, skn48865, skn48869, skn48875, skn48878, skn48882 (lesional), skn47472, skn47476, skn48863, skn48867, skn48871, skn48877, skn48880, skn48884 (Day 15 Lesional), skn47473, skn47477, skn48864, skn48868, skn51554, skn48881, skn51556, and skn51557 (Day 43 Lesional). A set of sequences were identified as being increased in lesional versus non-lesional skin. Some of these sequences were selected for having high fold-change values, and others were selected from being commonly mentioned in the literature as being associated with the immunopathology of psoriasis or being a known drug target for the treatment of psoriasis, such as IL-23 and TNF.

An additional Resolver Ratio Experiment (#68458) of non-lesional versus lesional psoriasis gene expression was created using samples from psoriasis patients external to Study 1 (purchased through Asterand®, plc., Detroit, Mich.) These samples included microarray barcodes skn41609, skn41610, skn41611, skn41613, skn41614, skn41616, skn41617, skn41618, skn41619, skn41620, skn41621, skn41622, skn41623, skn41624, skn41625, skn41626, skn41698, skn41699, skn41702, skn47051, skn47052, skn47053, skn47054, skn47055, skn47056, skn47057, skn47058, skn47059, skn47060, skn47061, and skn47062. This ratio was used to confirm that the selected probe sets all represented sequences that were regulated in psoriasis, and could be properly observed in the study. The ratio values in this comparison were not as high as in the comparison between pre-dose lesional and non-lesional samples from the Study 1, which may be a result of various treatments being used by the individuals providing the external samples, who may not have had the same restrictions on medications.

PsO = psoriasis; NL = non-lesional; L = lesional; Pre = predose

Notably in Table 3.1, many of the genes reduce their expression almost to the non-lesional baseline within two weeks of treatment with AM-14, in some cases going below the pre-dose level seen in the non-lesional skin. Notably, TNF is reduced to the non-lesional expression level (Fold-change=1.0), as is IL23A. IL19 is reduced to only 10 to 20% above non-lesional expression (Fold-change=1.1 to 1.2), while IL12B is actually reduced to below the non-lesional level (Fold-change=0.8 to 1.0). These changes are achieved within two weeks and broadly maintained at these low levels at six weeks. These unprecedented changes are very rapid across a wide set of genes that are implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. To further dissect the changes in gene expression into functional groups of genes, RNAs from cytokine-stimulated keratinocytes were profiled on the Affymetrix® U133 chips. Triplicate stimulations for IL-17A and for IFN-gamma were averaged in ratios (#49933, and #49939) against triplicate controls. Profiles used were barcodes skn48829, skn48833, skn48837 (control), skn48830, skn48834, skn48838, (IL-17A), and skn48832, skn48836, skn48840 (IFN-gamma). Sequences (i.e., partial sequences of the designated genes) were selected from each stimulation experiment that would allow preferential monitoring of the effect of that cytokine. For example, sequences selected for the IFN-gamma signature were highly statistically significant, all induced at least 10-fold with IFN-gamma, and not induced more than 1.2 fold (20% increase) by IL-17A. Because IFN-gamma is such a strong stimulus, it was more difficult to select sequences for IL-17A that were unaffected by IFN-gamma, but in a similar fashion, IL-17A signature sequences were all statistically significant, more highly induced than other sequences with similar expression and were not induced significantly more by IFN-gamma. For both sets, the sequences were required to have increased expression in psoriasis lesional skin as compared to non-lesional. These two sets could then allow separate measurements of inflammation along each axis to dissect the effects of AM-14 treatment.

As shown below in table 3.2, eighteen sequences were selected for the IL-17 signature based on their elevation in the IL-17A keratinocyte stimulation, without higher skewed expression in the IFN-gamma stimulations. In both the external psoriasis samples and in the Cohort 9 samples, the sequences are elevated in psoriatic lesional skin. As can be seen in the last two columns, these sequences have a dramatic reduction in expression, returning close to non-lesional levels after AM-14 treatment. From an average of over 28-fold higher expression in the predose lesional biopsies, they return to an average of less than two-fold within two weeks after treatment with AM-14. Some, including the defensins S100A7 and DEF4B have expression levels below the original non-lesional levels.

gamma, or in psoriasis skin samples. Eighteen sequences were chosen as elevated with IL-17A

stimulation for 24-hours in human keratinocytes, and their fold-change values determined for

induction in keratinocytes after 24-hour cytokine stimulation, non-lesional versus lesional external

samples, or from psoriatic lesions (with or without AM-14 treatment) in comparison to pre-dose

non-lesional samples.

As shown below in Table 3.3, thirty-three sequences were selected for the IFN-gamma signature based on their elevation in the IFN-gamma keratinocyte stimulation, without higher expression in the IL-17A stimulations. In both the external psoriasis samples and in Study 1 samples, the sequences are elevated in lesional skin. As can be seen in the last two columns, these sequences have a substantial, but incomplete reduction in expression, returning towards non-lesional levels following treatment with AM-14. Some, such as CCL2 and IRF1 have non-lesional or lower expression levels within two weeks of treatment with AM-14 while others such as CCL7 and TNFRSF9 continue to decrease over time.

for induction in keratinocytes after 24-hour cytokine stimulation, non-lesional versus lesional

The gene sets for IL-17A and IFN-gamma response were further trimmed to remove two sequences each that had extremely high correlation coefficients with another sequence from the same gene. The probe sets 208607_s_at (SAA1) and 219630_at (PDZK1IP1) were dropped from the IL-17A signature set in Table 3.2, and the probe sets 1405_i_at (CCL5) and 213797_at (RSAD2) were excluded from the IFN-gamma signature set in Table 3.3. The remaining sequences were used to calculate a Mahalanobis distance based on a core set of skin profiles from normal individuals for each sequence set (Table 3.4). In this calculation, the set of base case normal skin samples are used to define the mean for each sequence and a sequence set covariance matrix, which is used in combination with the normalized sequence intensities of each sample to define a Mahalanobis distance metric for that sample on that gene set. Distances were also calculated for external non-lesional, and lesional samples, which are in a similar range to the pre-dose samples from Study 1. Not surprisingly for these two sets of inflammatory cytokine-regulated gene sets, the lesional skin samples have much higher signature distances than the non-lesional samples. This is true for both the external sample set, and for the pre-dose samples for this study. Surprisingly, the large pre-dose signature distances are dramatically decreased with a single dose of AM-14, with the IFN-gamma signature distance dropping most of the way towards the non-lesional value, and the IL-17A signature distance dropping even below the non-lesional value.

Overall these data show a dramatic molecular change (i.e., downregulating genes that are implicated in the pathogenesis of psoriasis) in the psoriasis lesional skin as a result of AM-14 treatment that happens rapidly and is sustained or increased through six weeks after dosing. The change is observed across a wide range of genes that are involved in inflammation and recognized as being affected by psoriasis. It is also observed in a set of genes that are upregulated by IFN-gamma in keratinocytes, and is most striking in a set of genes that are upregulated by IL-17A. This genotypic response correlates with the percent reduction in PASI scores shown in Example 2 for patients treated with AM-14. The rapidity of the morphological and genotypic responses in the psoriasis patients treated with AM-14 is unprecedented and may be unique to AM-14 (and the other anti-IL-17RA antibodies disclosed herein) as well as IL-17RA antagonists, as defined herein, such as antibodies that bind IL-17A and block its binding to IL-17RA and/or IL-17RC and/or heteromeric receptors comprising IL-17RA and IL-17RC.

Example 4
Histological Analysis of Psoriasis Patients Treated with an Anti-IL-17 Receptor “A” Monoclonal Antibody

The following experiments demonstrate that inhibition of IL-17R activation strongly influences histopathological responses in psoriasis patients. Treatment with AM-14 (700 mg IV single doses) in subjects with psoriasis led to significant improvements in multiple histopathologic parameters compared to placebo. These parameters including epidermal thickness, Ki-67 and Keratin-16 levels. These data are presented in FIGS. 14, 15, and 16. FIG. 14 shows the changes in epidermal thickness over time in subjects receiving AM-14 (filled object). Administration of AM-14 led to significant reductions in epidermal thickness in psoriasis subjects compared to placebo. compared to placebo (empty circles). FIG. 15 depicts the changes in Keratin-16 (KRT16) over time in subjects receiving AM-14 (filled object) compared to placebo (empty circles). Administration of AM-14 led to significant reductions in KRT16 mRNA in psoriasis subjects compared to placebo. FIG. 16 depicts the changes in Ki67 counts over time in subjects receiving AM-14 (filled object) compared to placebo (empty circles). Administration of AM-14 led to significant reductions in Ki67 counts in psoriasis subjects compared to placebo.

In addition, treatment with AM-14 as described in the preceding paragraph reduced the numbers of infiltrating dermal leukocyte subsets (CD3+, CD11c+, CD8+, DC-LAMP+) as described in Table 4.0. The reductions in leukocyte subsets indicate that both T-cells (CD3+ and CD8+) and mature dendritic cells (CD11c+ and DC-LAMP+) were reduced by treatment with AM-14. Both of these cellular subsets have been implicated in amplifying and maintaining the pro-inflammatory milieu in psoriatic skin. The histopathologic data correlated with significant PASI improvements, as 7 of 8 subjects achieved at least 75% improvement in PASI score at week 6. Together these data identify numerous histologic consequences of IL-17 activation and subsequent inhibition in human skin by AM-14.

Example 5
Glutamate Formulation Sting Study

Six formulation buffers were tested in a total of 72 healthy human paticipants over a three-day period of time. None of the buffers contained antibody. Participants assessed and recorded perceived pain/stinging after each buffer injection using 100-mm visual analog scale where larger numbers represent more pain (referred to as VAS). After all injections were administered, paticipants ranked-ordered the buffers by pain/stinging perceived from least to most painful (buffers 1-6).

The following six buffers were assessed:

A: 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.2, 9% sucrose, 0.004% polysorbate 20;

B: 10 mM sodium glutamate, pH 4.8, 9% sucrose, 0.01% polysorbate 20;

C: 30 mM sodium glutamate, pH 4.8, 8% sucrose, 0.01% polysorbate 20;

D: 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.8, 3% L-proline, 0.01% polysorbate 20;

E: 30 mM sodium glutamate, pH 4.8, 3% L-proline, 0.01% polysorbate 20; and

F: 20 mM sodium citrate, pH 5.0, 5% sorbitol.

Buffer A was the AM-14 formulation buffer used in the clinical studies described in Examples 2-4 and 6 and was designated as the “comparator” buffer. Buffer F was a citrate-based buffer and was considered a “positive control” buffer for assessing relative pain/stinging due to its reputation in the art for causing stinging in subcutaneous injections.

The results of the study demonstrate that: (a) subcutaneous injection of the positive control buffer (F) resulted in measurable transient localized pain (stinging) at injection site (mean VAS score=56.9 mm (SD=±30.64), median VAS score=59.5 mm); (b) subcutaneous injection of the other buffers (A-E) resulted in significantly less reported stinging (mean VAS scores ranging from 12.1 mm to 28.4 mm, median VAS scores of 4.5 mm to 15.0 mm, p<0.0001); (c) based on mean VAS scores, the order (least to worst) of reported stinging by the buffers was B<A<D<E<C<F; (d) based on median VAS scores, the order (least to worst) of reported stinging by the buffers was B<A<D<C<E<F; (e) after all injections were administered, participants ranked the buffers (1-6) by sting perceived from least to most painful. The median participant ranking of sting was buffers A=B=D<buffers C=E<buffer F; (f) pair-wise comparisons of VAS scores demonstrated that sting induced by comparator buffer A and buffers B and D were indistinguishable (p=0.47 and 0.07, respectively), however, stinging induced by buffer B was less than that for buffer D (p=0.01), and that buffers containing 30 mM glutamate (buffer C and E) caused somewhat more stinging than the buffer containing 10 mM glutamate (buffer B, p≦0.0005). The pair-wise comparisons are provided in Table 5.0, below.

This data demonstrates the unexpected result that a 10 mM glutamate-based formulation does not induce an unacceptable degree of stinging in humans upon subcutaneous injection.

AM-14 Phase 2 Psoriasis Study

A Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AM-14 in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis was performed to establish a dose-response efficacy profile of AM-14 compared with placebo as measured by the percent improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score at week 12 and to identify an appropriate dose regimen for future trials. For additional information see ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier no. NCT00975637.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Subject has had stable moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months
- Subject has received at least one previous phototherapy or systemic psoriasis therapy or has been a candidate to receive phototherapy or systemic psoriasis therapy in the opinion of the investigator
- Subject has involved BSA≧10% and PASI≧12 at screening and at baseline.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject diagnosed with erythrodermic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, medication-induced, or medication-exacerbated psoriasis
- Evidence of skin conditions at the time of the screening visit (eg, eczema, guttate psoriasis) that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of IP on psoriasis
- Subject has any active CTCAE grade 2 or higher infection
- Subject has a significant concurrent medical condition or laboratory abnormalities, as defined in the study protocol
- Subject has used the following therapies within 14 days of the first dose: UVB therapy or topical psoriasis therapies other than Class I or II topical steroids
- Subject has used the following therapies within 28 days of the first dose: Class I or II topical steroids, UVA therapy (with or without psoralen), or systemic psoriasis therapies
- Subject has used the following therapies within 3 months of the first dose: adalimumab, alefacept, etanercept, infliximab, certolizumab, or live vaccines
- Subject has used an anti-IL12/IL23 inhibitor within 6 months of the first dose
- Subject has previously used an anti-IL17 biologic therapy, efalizumab, or rituximab

The study evaluated the efficacy of AM-14 compared with placebo as measured by the percent improvement in PASI score at week 12. After signing informed consent forms, completing all screening assessments, and meeting all eligibility criteria, approximately 175 subjects were randomized in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio and received AM-14 and/or placebo at day 1 and weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Subjects were randomized to receive AM-14 received 70, 140, or 210 mg at day 1 and weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 or 280 mg at day 1 and weeks 4 and 8. For approximately 50 subjects, additional samples at additional timepoints for PK analysis were collected as a sub-study. For approximately 175 subjects in the main study, PK assessments with sparse sampling were performed. Randomization was stratified to assure treatment balance in the PK substudy and by body mass index (above and below 35). Skin samples were collected from approximately 32 subjects at a subgroup of participating sites at day 1 (1 each, lesional and nonlesional), week 2 (lesional only), and week 12 (lesional only). Serum, plasma, and blood RNA was collected for all subjects.

AM-14 was provided as a sterile, preservative-free liquid containing 70 mg/mL AM-14 formulated in 10 mM sodium acetate, 9% sucrose, 0.004% w/v polysorbate 20 at pH 5.2. The formulation was supplied as a frozen liquid in glass vials containing 1 mL deliverable volume (single use only). Placebo clinical supply was provided in glass vials as a frozen, sterile protein-free solution. The vials were single-use vials containing approximately 1 mL of vehicle solution per vial. The control group received placebo at day 1 and weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (Q2WK+week 1). Other subjects received one or more placebo shots as needed to maintain the blinded nature of the study.

PASI assessments were performed by a blinded assessor. The blinded assessor was a healthcare professional who has been certified as trained with the standard PASI training material provided by Amgen. To maintain the blind, the assessor did not have any other interaction with the subjects other than the PASI, sPGA, and BSA involvement assessments. The assessor did not discuss the subject's clinical status or have access to the subjects' medical records or CRFs including prior assessment data. PASI assessments were performed by the same assessor throughout the study.

The PASI 75, 90, and 100 responses at week 12 are provided in Table 6.0, below. This study shows AM-14 is efficacious at treating psoriasis (in particular, moderate to severe plaque psoriasis) at doses ranging from 70 to about 300 mg, and specifically at doses of 70, 140, 210, and 280 mg at the dosing regimens described above. These data show that AM-14 showed efficacy over placebo at all doses tested (70, 140, 210, and 280)
