BACKGROUND

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cell in the body. DCs function to process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T cells. DCs act as messengers between the innate and the adaptive immune systems. Fms related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3LG, FLT3L, NCBI Gene ID: 2323) selectively expands DCs from bone marrow precursors, as well as promotes proliferation of terminally differentiated DCs in lymphoid and tumor tissues.


Soluble recombinant human protein forms of FLT3L have a serum half-life in humans of about 12-28 hours after five consecutive subcutaneous (SC) doses, requiring daily administration to the patient over a 28-day therapeutic cycle. Daily administration is undesirable, for both the patient and clinician, and is dose scheduling that does not align with other approved immune-oncology therapeutic agents, which is usually once every 2 to 3 weeks. Disclosed herein methods of administering to a subject a fusion protein comprising a human fms related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L) extracellular domain operably linked to an immunoglobulin fragment crystallizable region (Fc region). The methods disclosed herein provide safe and effective doses and dosing regimens and schedules for administering the fusion protein to a subject in need thereof.

In some embodiments, the FLT3L extracellular domain comprises one or more of the following amino acid substitutions: H8Y, K84E; S102A; and/or S125A; wherein the amino acid residue positions are with reference to SEQ ID NOs: 1-18, 21-27 or 71-81.


Modifications may be made in the structure of the FLT3L-Fc polynucleotides and polypeptides described herein and still obtain a functional molecule that encodes a variant or derivative polypeptide with desirable characteristics. When it is desired to alter the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide to create an equivalent, or even an improved, variant or portion of a polypeptide described herein, one skilled in the art will typically change one or more of the codons of the encoding DNA sequence.


For example, certain amino acids may be substituted for other amino acids in a protein structure without appreciable loss of its ability to bind other polypeptides (e.g., antigens) or cells. Since it is the binding capacity and nature of a protein that defines that protein's biological functional activity, certain amino acid sequence substitutions can be made in a protein sequence, and, of course, its underlying DNA coding sequence, and nevertheless obtain a protein with like properties. It is thus contemplated that various changes may be made in the polypeptide sequences of the disclosed antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, or corresponding DNA sequences that encode said polypeptides without appreciable loss of their biological utility or activity.


In many instances, a polypeptide variant will contain one or more conservative substitutions. A “conservative substitution” is one in which an amino acid is substituted for another amino acid that has similar properties, such that one skilled in the art of peptide chemistry would expect the secondary structure and hydropathic nature of the polypeptide to be substantially unchanged.


When comparing polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences, two sequences are said to be “identical” if the sequence of nucleotides or amino acids in the two sequences is the same when aligned for maximum correspondence, as described below. Comparisons between two sequences are typically performed by comparing the sequences over a comparison window to identify and compare local regions of sequence similarity. A “comparison window” as used herein, refers to a segment of at least about 20 contiguous positions, usually 30 to about 75, 40 to about 50, or over the full length of a sequence, in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned.


Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison may be conducted using the Megalign program in the Lasergene suite of bioinformatics software (DNASTAR, Inc., Madison, Wis.), using default parameters. This program embodies several alignment schemes described in the following references: Dayhoff, M. O. (1978) A model of evolutionary change in proteins—Matrices for detecting distant relationships. In Dayhoff, M. O. (ed.) Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, National Biomedical Research Foundation, Washington D.C. Vol. 5, Suppl. 3, pp. 345-358; Hein J. (1990) Unified Approach to Alignment and Phylogenes pp. 626-645 Methods in Enzymology vol. 183, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, Calif.; Higgins, D. G. and Sharp, P. M. (1989) CABIOS 5: 151-153; Myers, E. W. and Muller W. (1988) CABIOS 4:11-17; Robinson, E. D. (1971) Comb. Theor 77: 105; Santou, N. Nes, M. (1987) Mol. Biol. Evol. 4:406-425; Sneath, P. H. A. and Sokal, R. R. (1973) Numerical Taxonomy—the Principles and Practice of Numerical Taxonomy, Freeman Press, San Francisco, Calif.; Wilbur, W. J. and Lipman, D. J. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad., Sci. USA 80:726-730.


Alternatively, optimal alignment of sequences for comparison may be conducted by the local identity algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1981) Add. APL. Math 2:482, by the identity alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, by the search for similarity methods of Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85: 2444, by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, BLAST, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group (GCG), 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by inspection.


One example of algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1977) Nucl. Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 and Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410, respectively. BLAST and BLAST 2.0 can be used, for example with the parameters described herein, to determine percent sequence identity for the polynucleotides and polypeptides described herein. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi).


In one illustrative example, cumulative scores can be calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always >0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always <0). Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a word length (W) of 11, and expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff and Henikoff (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10915) alignments, (B) of 50, expectation (E) of 10, M=5, N=−4 and a comparison of both strands.


For amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix can be used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment.


In one approach, the “percentage of sequence identity” is determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a window of comparison of at least 20 positions, wherein the portion of the polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) of 20 percent or less, usually 5 to 15 percent, or 10 to 12 percent, as compared to the reference sequences (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid bases or amino acid residues occur in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the reference sequence (i.e., the window size) and multiplying the results by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity.


In some embodiments, the FLT3L extracellular domain does not comprise a signal peptide. In some embodiments, the FLT3L extracellular domain comprises an N-terminal signal peptide. The signal peptide can be an endogenous signal peptide (e.g., from a native or wild-type FLT3L protein), or from a heterologous polypeptide. In some embodiments, the heterologous signal peptide is from a secreted protein, e.g., a serum protein, an immunoglobulin or a cytokine. In some embodiments, the signal peptide is from a serum albumin signal peptide (e.g., having the amino acid sequence KWVTFISLLFLFSSAYS (SEQ ID NO:82). In some embodiments, the signal peptide is from a FLT3L protein (e.g., having the amino acid sequence MTVLAPAWSPTTYLLLLLLLSSGLSG (SEQ ID NO:83) or MTVLAPAWSPNSSLLLLLLLLSPCLRG (SEQ ID NO:84). The signal peptide can be designed to be cleaved off, e.g., after secretion from the cell, to form a mature fusion protein. A modified human serum albumin signal peptide to secrete proteins in cells that can find use in expressing the present fusion proteins is described, e.g., in Attallah, et al., Protein Expr Purif. (2017) 132:27-33. Additional signal peptide sequences for use in expressing the herein described fusion proteins are described, e.g., in Kober, et al., Biotechnol Bioeng. (2013) 110(4):1164-73.


In some embodiments, at least five amino acids are truncated from the C-terminus of the FLT3L extracellular domain. For example, in various embodiments, at least 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or 15 amino acid residues are truncated or removed from the C-terminus of the FLT3L extracellular domain.

In some embodiments, the FLT3L extracellular domain does not comprise the amino acid sequence PTAPQ (SEQ ID NO:85), APTAPQ (SEQ ID NO:86), TAPTAPQ (SEQ ID NO:87), ATAPTAPQ (SEQ ID NO:88), EATAPTAPQ (SEQ ID NO:89), or LEATAPTAPQ (SEQ ID NO:90). In some embodiments, the FLT3L extracellular domain does not comprise the amino acid sequence PTAPQPP (SEQ ID NO:91), APTAPQPP (SEQ ID NO:92), TAPTAPQPP (SEQ ID NO:93), ATAPTAPQPP (SEQ ID NO:94), EATAPTAPQPP (SEQ ID NO:95), or LEATAPTAPQPP (SEQ ID NO:96).

A “polypeptide variant,” as the term is used herein, is a polypeptide that typically differs from a polypeptide specifically disclosed herein in one or more substitutions, deletions, additions and/or insertions. Such variants may be naturally occurring or may be synthetically generated, for example, by modifying one or more of the above polypeptide sequences described herein and evaluating one or more biological activities of the polypeptide as described herein and/or using any of a number of techniques well known in the art.


The term “variant” may also refer to any naturally occurring or engineered molecule comprising one or more nucleotide or amino acid mutations. In one embodiment, the multi-specific antigen binding molecule is a bispecific antigen binding molecule. In one embodiment, the multi-specific antigen binding molecule is a bispecific antibody. For example, somatic variants may encompass all related naturally occurring antibodies that are part of or derived from the same B-cell lineage. Engineered variants may encompass all single mutations or combinatorial mutations made to an antibody.


B. Fc Region


The FLT3L extracellular domain, or truncated fragment thereof, is operably linked to an Fc domain. Generally, the Fc domain is comprised of or derived from the same species as the FLT3L extracellular domain (e.g., human, dog, cat, mouse or monkey). In some embodiments, the FLT3L extracellular domain, or truncated fragment thereof, is directly linked or contiguously linked or abutted to the Fc domain. In some embodiments, the FLT3L extracellular domain, or truncated fragment thereof, is operably linked to the Fc domain via a linker. As appropriate, the linker can be a flexible linker, e.g., a sequence comprising 3 or 4 repeats of a GGGGS motif or “G-S linker” (SEQ ID NO:99) (Desplancq et al. 1994, Protein Engineering 7:1027-1033).


In some embodiments, the Fc region is from a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4. In some embodiments, the Fc region is from a human IgG1 or IgG4.


In certain embodiments the FLT3L extracellular domain, or truncated fragment thereof, is directly linked to, or linked via an intervening amino acid sequence (e.g., a G-S linker), to a human IgG1 (e.g., mutant IgG1m3 sequence), IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 with 1 to 10 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) amino acid substitutions. In some embodiments, the Fc modifications can promote one or more of increased serum half-life or decreased antibody effector function of the molecule. In other embodiments, certain of these modifications, decrease antibody effector function and increase half-life of the antibody. In some embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein comprise two or more, three or more, four or more, five or more, six or more, six or fewer, five or fewer, four or fewer, three or fewer, two or fewer, or one modified Fc amino acid residue(s). Exemplary amino acid substitutions are described below.


In some embodiments, the Fc domain of the fusion protein does not comprise a hinge region; it is truncated or deleted, in whole or in part. The structural hinge region of human IgG1, IgG2 and IgG4 antibodies is a peptide linker of about 19 to 23 amino acids containing two to four cysteine residues, is genetically encoded on the hinge exon together with the 5′-end of the CH2 exon, and allows for disulfide bridges between first and second Fc domains (Roux, et al., J. Immunol. (1998) 161:4083). The structural hinge region is comprised of amino acid residue positions 216-238 (EU numbering) or 226-251 (Kabat numbering) (identified on imgt.org). In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises or is derived from a human IgG4 isotype and does not comprise the amino acid sequence ESKYGPPCPPCP (SEQ ID NO:100). In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises or is derived from a human IgG1 isotype and does not comprise the amino acid sequence EPKSCDKTHTCPPCP (SEQ ID NO:101) or EPKSCDKTHTCPPCPAPELL (SEQ ID NO:110).


Fc Mutations that Increase Serum Half-Life


In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises amino acid modifications that promote an increased serum half-life of the fusion protein. Mutations that increase the half-life of an antibody have been described. In one embodiment, the constant region of a FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein comprise a methionine to tyrosine substitution at position 252 (EU numbering), a serine to threonine substitution at position 254 (EU numbering), and a threonine to glutamic acid substitution at position 256 (EU numbering). See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,658,921. This type of mutant, designated as a “YTE mutant” exhibits a four-fold increased half-life relative to wild-type versions of the same antibody (Dall'Acqua, et al., J Biol Chem, 281: 23514-24 (2006); Robbie, et al., Antimicrob Agents Chemotherap., 57(12):6147-6153 (2013)). In certain embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein comprise an IgG constant domain comprising one, two, three or more amino acid substitutions of amino acid residues at positions 251-257, 285-290, 308-314, 385-389, and 428-436 (EU numbering). Alternatively, M428L and N434S (“LS”) substitutions can increase the pharmacokinetic half-life of the fusion protein. In other embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein comprise a M428L and N434S substitution (EU numbering). In other embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein comprise T250Q and M428L (EU numbering) mutations. In other embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein comprise H433K and N434F (EU numbering) mutations.


Fc Mutations that Reduce or Eliminate Effector Activity


In some embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein can have an Fc domain with amino acid substitutions that reduce or eliminate Fc effector function (including, e.g., antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC)).


In some embodiments, the Fc region is altered by replacing at least one amino acid residue with a different amino acid residue to reduce or eliminate effector function(s) of the antibody. For example, one or more amino acids selected from amino acid residues 234, 235, 236, 237, 297, 318, 320 and 322 (EU numbering) can be replaced with a different amino acid residue such that the fusion protein has decreased affinity for an effector ligand. The effector ligand to which affinity is altered can be, for example, an Fc receptor (e.g., at residue positions 234, 235, 236, 237, 297 (EU numbering)) or the C1 component of complement (e.g., at residue positions 297, 318, 320, 322 (EU numbering)). U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,624,821 and 5,648,260, both by Winter et al.


Fc modifications reducing or eliminating effector function include substitutions, insertions, and deletions, e.g., at one or more positions including 234, 235, 236, 237, 267, 269, 325, and 328, e.g., 234G, 235G, 236R, 237K, 267R, 269R, 325L, and 328R (EU numbering). Further, an Fc variant may comprise 236R/328R. Other modifications for reducing FcγR and complement interactions include substitutions at positions 297A, 234A, 235A, 318A, 228P, 236E, 268Q, 309L, 330S, 3315, 220S, 226S, 229S, 238S, 233P, and 234V (EU numbering). These and other modifications are reviewed in Strohl (2009) Current Opinion in Biotechnology 20:685-691. Effector functions (both ADCC and complement activation) can be reduced, while maintaining neonatal FcR binding (maintaining half-life), by mutating IgG residues at one or more of positions 233-236 and 327-331, such as E233P, L234V, L235A, optionally G236A, A327G, A330S and P331S in IgG1; E233P, F234V, L235A, optionally G236A, in IgG4; and A330S and P331S in IgG2 (EU numbering). See Armour et al. (1999) Eur. J. Immunol. 29:2613; WO 99/58572. Other mutations that reduce effector function include L234A and L235A in IgG1 (Alegre et al. (1994) Transplantation 57:1537); V234A and G237A in IgG2 (Cole et al. (1997) J. Immunol. 159:3613; see also U.S. Pat. No. 5,834,597); and S228P and L235E for IgG4 (Reddy et al. (2000) J. Immunol. 164:1925). Another combination of mutations for reducing effector function in a human IgG1 include L234F, L235E and P331S. Oganesyan et al. (2008) Acta Crystallogr. D. Biol. Crystallogr. 64:700. See generally Labrijn et gal. (2008) Curr. Op. Immunol. 20:479. Additional mutations found to decrease effector function in the context of an Fc (IgG1) fusion protein (abatacept) include C226S, C229S and P238S (EU numbering). Davis et al. (2007) J. Immunol. 34:2204.


ADCC activity may be reduced by modifying the Fc region. In certain embodiments, sites that affect binding to Fc receptors may be removed, e.g., sites other than salvage receptor binding sites. In other embodiments, an Fc region may be modified to remove an ADCC site. Exemplary ADCC sites have been described with respect to ADCC sites in IgG1 (Sarmay, et al, (1992) Molec. Immunol. 29 (5): 633-9). In one embodiment, the G236R and L328R variant of human IgG1 effectively eliminates FcγR binding (Horton, et al. (2011) J. Immunol. 186:4223 and Chu, et al. (2008) Mol. Immunol. 45:3926). In other embodiments, the Fc having reduced binding to FcγRs comprises the amino acid substitutions L234A, L235E and G237A. Gross, et al. (2001) Immunity 15:289. Modifications in the IgG Fc region to decrease binding to FcγRI to decrease ADCC (e.g., 234A; 235E; 236A; G237A) identified in WO 88/007089 can be used in the present fusion proteins. See also Duncan & Winter (1988) Nature 332:563; Chappel et al. (1991) Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. (USA) 88:9036; and Sondermann et al. (2000) Nature 406:267 (discussing the effects of these mutations on FcγRIII binding).


CDC activity may also be reduced by modifying the Fc region. Mutations at IgG1 positions D270, K322, P329 and P331, specifically alanine mutations D270A, K322A, P329A and P331A, significantly reduce the ability of the corresponding antibody to bind C1q and activate complement (Idusogie et al. (2000) J. Immunol. 164:4178; WO 99/51642. Modification of position 331 of IgG1 (e.g., P331S) has been shown to reduce complement binding (Tao et al. (1993) J. Exp. Med. 178:661; Xu Y, et al. J Biol Chem. 1994. 269:3469-74; and Canfield & Morrison (1991) J. Exp. Med. 173:1483). In another example, one or more amino acid residues within amino acid positions 231 to 239 are altered to thereby reduce the ability of the antibody to fix complement (WO 94/29351). Modifications in the IgG Fc region identified in WO 88/007089 that reduce or eliminate binding to complement component C1q, and therefore reduce or eliminate CDC (e.g., E318A or V/K320A and K322A/Q) can be used in the present fusion proteins.


In some embodiments, the Fc with reduced complement fixation has the amino acid substitutions A330S and P331S. Gross et al. (2001) Immunity 15:289.


Other Fc variants having reduced ADCC and/or CDC are disclosed at Glaesner et al. (2010) Diabetes Metab. Res. Rev. 26:287 (F234A and L235A to decrease ADCC and ADCP in an IgG4); Hutchins et al. (1995) Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. (USA) 92:11980 (F234A, G237A and E318A in an IgG4); An et al. (2009) MAbs 1:572 and U.S. Pat. App. Pub. 2007/0148167 (H268Q, V309L, A330S and P331S in an IgG2); McEarchern et al. (2007) Blood 109:1185 (C226S, C229S, E233P, L234V, L235A in an IgG1); Vafa et al.

In certain embodiments, the fusion protein has an Fc having essentially no effector function, e.g., the Fc has reduced or eliminated binding to FcγRs and reduced or eliminated complement fixation, e.g., is effectorless. An exemplary IgG1 Fc that is effectorless comprises the following five mutations: L234A, L235E, G237A, A330S and P331S (EU numbering) (Gross et al. (2001) Immunity 15:289). These five substitutions may be combined with N297A to eliminate glycosylation as well.

In particular embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein include an IgG1 heavy chain having an allotype of G1m1; nG1m2; G1m3; G1m17,1; G1m17,1,2; G1m3,1; or G1m17. Each of these allotypes or isoallotypes is characterized by the following amino acid residues at the indicated positions within the IgG1 heavy chain constant region (Fc) (EU numbering):


G1m1: D356, L358;


nG1m1: E356, M358;

In certain embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein has an IgG1 isotype. In some embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein contains a human IgG1 constant region. In some embodiments, the human IgG1 Fc region contains one or more modifications. For example, in some embodiments, the Fc region contains one or more amino acid substitutions (e.g., relative to a wild-type Fc region of the same isotype). In some embodiments, the one or more amino acid substitutions are selected from N297A, N297Q (Bolt S et al. (1993) Eur J Immunol 23:403-411), D265A, L234A, L235A (McEarchem et al., (2007) Blood, 109:1185-1192), C226S, C229S (McEarchem et al., (2007) Blood. 109:1185-1192), P238S (Davis et al., (2007) J Rheumatol, 34:2204-2210), E233P, L234V (McEarchern et al., (2007) Blood, 109:1185-1192), P238A, A327Q, A327G, P329A (Shields R L. et al., (2001) J Biol Chem. 276(9):6591-604), K322A, L234F, L235E (Hezareh, et al., (2001) J Virol 75, 12161-12168; Oganesyan et al., (2008). Acta Crystallographica 64, 700-704), P331S (Oganesyan et al., (2008) Acta Crystallographica 64, 700-704), T394D (Wilkinson et al. (2013) MAbs 5(3): 406-417), A330L, M252Y, S254T, and/or T256E, where the amino acid position is according to the EU numbering convention. In certain embodiments, the Fc region further includes an amino acid deletion at a position corresponding to glycine 236 according to the EU numbering convention. As used herein, numbering of a given amino acid polymer or nucleic acid polymer “corresponds to”, is “corresponding to” or is “relative to” the numbering of a selected or reference amino acid polymer or nucleic acid polymer when the position of any given polymer component (e.g., amino acid, nucleotide, also referred to generically as a “residue”) is designated by reference to the same or to an equivalent position (e.g., based on an optimal alignment or a consensus sequence) in the selected amino acid or nucleic acid polymer, rather than by the actual numerical position of the component in the given polymer.


In some embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein has an IgG1 isotype with a heavy chain constant region that contains a C220S amino acid substitution according to the EU numbering convention.


In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a human IgG1 isotype and comprises one or more amino acid substitutions in the Fc region at a residue position selected from the group consisting of: N297A, N297G, N297Q, N297G, D265A, L234A, L235A, C226S, C229S, P238S, E233P, L234V, P238A, A327Q, A327G, P329A, P329G, K322A, L234F, L235E, P331S, T394D, A330L, M252Y, S254T, T256E, M428L, N434S, T366W, T366S, L368A, Y407V and any combination thereof, wherein the numbering of the residues is according to EU numbering. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a human IgG1 isotype and comprises one or more amino acid substitutions in the Fc region at a residue position selected from the group consisting of: L234A, L234V, L234F, L235A, L235E, A330L, P331S, and any combination thereof, wherein the numbering of the residues is according to EU numbering.


IgG4 Isotype Fc

For uses where effector function is to be avoided altogether, e.g., when antigen binding alone is sufficient to generate the desired therapeutic benefit, and effector function only leads to (or increases the risk of) undesired side effects, IgG4 antibodies may be used, or antibodies or fragments lacking the Fc region or a substantial portion thereof can be devised, or the Fc may be mutated to eliminate glycosylation altogether (e.g., N297A). Alternatively, a hybrid construct of human IgG2 (CH1 domain and hinge region) and human IgG4 (CH2 and CH3 domains) has been generated that is devoid of effector function, lacking the ability to bind the FcγRs (like IgG2) and unable to activate complement (like IgG4). (see, Rother et al. (2007) Nat. Biotechnol. 25:1256; Mueller et al. (1997) Mol. Immunol. 34:441; and Labrijn et al. (2008) Curr. Op. Immunol. 20:479, discussing Fc modifications to reduce effector function generally).


In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises or is derived from a human IgG4. In certain embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein has an IgG4 isotype. In some embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein contains a human IgG4 constant region. In some embodiments, the human IgG4 constant region includes an Fc region. In some embodiments, the Fc region contains one or more modifications. For example, in some embodiments, the Fc region contains one or more amino acid substitutions (e.g., relative to a wild-type Fc region of the same isotype). In some embodiments, the one or more amino acid substitutions are selected from E233P, F234V, F234A, L235A, G237A, E318A, S228P, L235E, T394D, M252Y, S254T, T256E, N297A, N297G, N297Q, T366W, T366S, L368A, Y407V, M428L, N434S, and any combination thereof, where the amino acid position is according to the EU numbering convention.

Heterodimers and Fusion Proteins Comprising a FLT3L-Fc Fusion Protein and a Second Polypeptide

Further provided are fusion proteins comprising (i) a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein described herein, e.g., having an amino acid sequence that is at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100%, identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 19-20, and (ii) a second polypeptide. In some embodiments, the second polypeptide comprises a targeting moiety or domain, a growth factor, a cytokine, a chemokine or a TNF superfamily (TNFSF) member. In some embodiments, the second polypeptide is N-terminal to the FLT3L extracellular domain. In some embodiments, the second polypeptide is C-terminal to the Fc region. In some embodiments, the second polypeptide is between the FLT3L extracellular domain and the Fc region. In various embodiments, the targeting moiety binds to a protein target in Table B.


Further provided are heterodimeric molecules comprising (i) a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein described herein, e.g., having an amino acid sequence that is at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or 100%, identical to an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 19-20, and (ii) a second polypeptide fused to a second Fc region. In certain embodiments, the first and second Fc regions of the heterodimeric molecules are different, e.g., having complementary “knob (W)-and-hole (S)” amino acid substitutions at position 366 (EU numbering). In some embodiments, the second polypeptide comprises a targeting moiety or domain, a growth factor, a cytokine, a chemokine or a TNF superfamily (TNFSF) member. In various embodiments, the targeting moiety binds to a protein target in Table B.


In some embodiments, the targeting moiety or domain comprises an antibody fragment (e.g., scFv, sc(Fv)2, Fab, F(ab)2, Fab′, F(ab′)2, Facb, and Fv). In some embodiments, the antibody fragment comprises a Fab or a single-chain variable fragment (scFv). In some embodiments, both the first Fc region and the second Fc region do not comprise a hinge region. In some embodiments, the heterodimer is stabilized by an interaction between the first Fc region and the second Fc region. Illustrative interactions that can stabilize the heterodimer through the Fc region include without limitation disulfide bonds and complementary amino acid substitutions in the first and second Fc regions (e.g., knob-in-hole mutations).


In some embodiments, the targeting moiety or domain comprises a non-immunoglobulin or antibody mimetic protein. Examples of non-immunoglobulin or antibody mimetic protein targeting moieties or domains include without limitation adnectins, affibody molecules, affilins, affimers, affitins, alphabodies, anticalins, peptide aptamers, armadillo repeat proteins (ARMs), atrimers, avimers, designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins®), fynomers, knottins, Kunitz domain peptides, monobodies, and nanoCLAMPs. Non-immunoglobulin or antibody mimetic protein targeting moieties or domains of use in the herein described FLT3L-Fc fusion protein heterodimers are described, e.g., in Zhang, et al., Methods Mol Biol. 2017; 1575:3-13; Ta, et al., Future Med Chem. 2017 August; 9(12):1301-1304; Yu, et al., Annu Rev Anal Chem (Palo Alto Calif.). 2017 Jun. 12; 10(1):293-320; Baloch, et al., Crit Rev Biotechnol. 2016; 36(2):268-75; and Bruce, et al., Chembiochem. 2016 Oct. 17; 17(20):1892-1899.


In some embodiments, the targeting moiety or domain has T-cell receptor (TCR)-like binding properties and binds to the epitope of a target or tumor-associated antigen (TAA) presented in a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule.


In some embodiments, the targeting moiety or domain comprises a binding partner domain, e.g., a soluble or extracellular domain of the binding partner or ligand of the protein target or antigen. For example, in some embodiments, the targeting moiety or domain comprises a binding partner or ligand of any of the protein or antigen targets listed in Table B. In one embodiment, the targeting moiety or domain comprises the extracellular domain of a TGFB1 receptor (e.g., a “TGF beta trap”).


In homodimers or heterodimer formats of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins, the dimeric molecule comprises first and second Fc domains. In certain embodiments, amino acid substitutions may be in one or both of the first and second Fc domains. In certain embodiments, the one or both of the first and second Fc domains have one or more (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) of the following mutations (EU numbering). In some embodiments, Fc region heterodimerization of the two different immunoadhesins (Fc fusion proteins) can be facilitated by so-called ‘knobs-into-holes’ mutations (Atwell et al. 1997. JMB 270:26-35). The ‘hole’ mutations (T366S, L368A and Y407V) are incorporated into one Fc-containing chain, the T366W ‘knob’ mutation is incorporated into the other chain. Knob-and-hole amino acid substitutions can be incorporated into human IgG1 or human IgG4 Fc domains. In addition, a C220S mutation can be incorporated into an IgG1 hinge region of a scFv-containing arm to eliminate a free cysteine that otherwise forms a disulfide bond with a corresponding cysteine in the light chain in a wild-type IgG1. Co-transfection of such constructs leads to preferential formation of a heterodimeric Fc, with low levels of homodimer contaminants. Additionally, incorporating a S354C mutation can be incorporated into the Fc containing the ‘knob’ mutations and a Y349C mutation into the Fc containing the ‘hole’ mutations can optionally be used to generate a covalent bond between the two halves of the heterodimeric Fc if additional thermodynamic stability is desired (Merchant et al. 1998. Nat. Biotechnol. 16: 677-81). In certain embodiments, R409D, K370E mutations are introduced in the “knobs chain” and D399K, E357K mutations in the “hole chain.” In other embodiments, Y349C, T366W mutations are introduced in one of the chains and E356C, T366S, L368A, Y407V mutations in the counterpart chain. In some embodiments. Y349C, T366W mutations are introduced in one chain and S354C, T366S, L368A, Y407V mutations in the counterpart chain. In some embodiments, Y349C, T366W mutations are introduced in one chain and S354C, T366S, L368A, Y407V mutations in the counterpart chain. In yet other embodiments, Y349C, T366W mutations are introduced in one chain and S354C, T366S, L368A, Y407V mutations in the counterpart chain (all EU numbering).


To facilitate purification of the heterodimeric molecule away from contaminating homodimeric products, the H435R or H435R+Y436F mutations to reduce or eliminate protein A binding can be introduced into one but not both of the Fc-containing chains (Jendeberg, L. et al. 1997 J. Immunol. Methods 201:25-34). This reduces or eliminates protein A binding of the homodimer contaminant containing these mutations, and greatly simplifies purification of the desired heterodimer away from remaining homodimer contaminant via additional chromatography steps (e.g., ion exchange). In embodiments incorporating H435R (or H435R+Y436F) mutations in the first or second Fc region of a heavy chain, if the VH region in the same heavy chain is from a VH3 family variable region, this VH region can also include amino acid substitutions, as described herein, to reduce or eliminate Protein A binding of the entire heavy chain.


Yet another exemplary method of making bispecific antibodies is by using the Trifunctional Hybrid Antibodies platform—Triomab®. This platform employs a chimeric construction made up of half of two full-length antibodies of different isotypes, mouse IgG2a and rat IgG2b. This technology relies on species-preferential heavy/light chain pairing associations. See, Lindhofer et al., J Immunol., 155:219-225 (1995).


Yet another method for making bispecific antibodies is the CrossMab technology. CrossMab are chimeric antibodies constituted by the halves of two full-length antibodies. For correct chain pairing, it combines two technologies: (i) the knob-into-hole which favors a correct pairing between the two heavy chains; and (ii) an exchange between the heavy and light chains of one of the two Fabs to introduce an asymmetry which avoids light-chain mispairing. See, Ridgway et al., Protein Eng., 9:617-621 (1996); Schaefer et al., PNAS, 108:11187-11192 (2011). CrossMabs can combine two or more antigen binding domains for targeting two or more targets or for introducing bivalency towards one target such as the 2:1 format.


In some embodiments, the targeting moiety or domain targets or binds to an effector cell, e.g., engaging or activating a T-cell or an NK cell. In certain embodiments, the targeting moiety or domains binds to CD3. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety binds to CD16. Illustrative proteins and antigens, including tumor-associated antigens, immune checkpoint proteins and dendritic cell surface proteins, that can be targeted or bound by the targeting moiety or domain, include without limitation those listed in Table B. Target names, symbols (official and alternative) and Gene IDs identified in Table B are from ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene.

Conjugated FLT3L-Fc Fusion Proteins

Any of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins, or homodimers or heterodimers thereof, disclosed herein may be conjugated. FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins which are bound to various molecules (e.g., labels) including without limitation macromolecular substances such as polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylenimine (PEI) modified with PEG (PEI-PEG), polyglutamic acid (PGA) (N-(2-Hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers), hyaluronic acid, radioactive materials (e.g., 90Y, 131I, 125I, 35S, 3H, 121In, 99Tc), fluorescent substances (e.g., fluorescein and rhodamine), fluorescent proteins, luminescent substances (e.g., luminol), Qdots, haptens, enzymes (e.g., glucose oxidase), metal chelates, biotin, avidin, and drugs.


The above-described conjugated FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins can be prepared according to known methods, e.g., performing chemical modifications on the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein. In certain embodiments, the labelling moiety or therapeutic moiety is conjugated to the Fc portion of the fusion protein. Methods for modifying antibody Fc regions are well known in the art (e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,057,313 and 5,156,840).


In some embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, or homodimer or heterodimer thereof, is conjugated to a drug or therapeutic agent. In various embodiments, the drug is a small organic compound or an inhibitory nucleic acid, e.g., a short-inhibitory RNA (siRNA), a microRNA (miRNA). In some embodiments, the drug or therapeutic agent is an anti-neoplastic agent or a chemotherapeutic agent, as known in the art and described herein. In a particular embodiment, the drug or therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of monomethyl auristatin E (MIME), monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF), a calicheamicin, ansamitocin, maytansine or an analog thereof (e.g., mertansine/emtansine (DM1), ravtansine/soravtansine (DM4)), an anthracyline (e.g., doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, idarubicin), pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) DNA cross-linking agent SC-DR002 (D6.5), duocarmycin, a microtubule inhibitors (MTI) (e.g., a taxane, a vinca alkaloid, an epothilone), a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) or dimer thereof, and a duocarmycin (A, B1, B2, C1, C2, D, SA, CC-1065).


3. Polynucleotides Encoding FLT3L-Fc Fusion Proteins


Provided are polynucleotides encoding the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins, described herein, vectors comprising such polynucleotides, and host cells (e.g., human cells, mammalian cells, yeast cells, plant cells, insect cells, bacterial cells, e.g., E. coli) comprising such polynucleotides or expression vectors. Provided herein are polynucleotides comprising nucleotide sequence(s) encoding any of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins provided herein, as well as expression cassettes and vector(s) comprising such polynucleotide sequences, e.g., expression vectors for their efficient expression in host cells, e.g., mammalian cells. In various embodiments, the polynucleotide is a DNA, a cDNA, or an mRNA.


The terms “polynucleotide” and “nucleic acid molecule” interchangeably refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides and includes both sense and anti-sense strands of RNA, cDNA, genomic DNA, and synthetic forms and mixed polymers of the above. As used herein, the term nucleic acid molecule may be interchangeable with the term polynucleotide. In some embodiments, a nucleotide refers to a ribonucleotide, deoxynucleotide or a modified form of either type of nucleotide, and combinations thereof. The terms also include without limitation, single- and double-stranded forms of DNA. In addition, a polynucleotide, e.g., a cDNA or mRNA, may include either or both naturally occurring and modified nucleotides linked together by naturally occurring and/or non-naturally occurring nucleotide linkages. The nucleic acid molecules may be modified chemically or biochemically or may contain non-natural or derivatized nucleotide bases, as will be readily appreciated by those of skill in the art. Such modifications include, for example, labels, methylation, substitution of one or more of the naturally occurring nucleotides with an analogue, internucleotide modifications such as uncharged linkages (e.g., methyl phosphonates, phosphotriesters, phosphoramidates, carbamates, etc.), charged linkages (e.g., phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, etc.), pendent moieties (e.g., polypeptides), intercalators (e.g., acridine, psoralen, etc.), chelators, alkylators, and modified linkages (e.g., alpha anomeric nucleic acids, etc.). The above term is also intended to include any topological conformation, including single-stranded, double-stranded, partially duplexed, triplex, hairpinned, circular and padlocked conformations. A reference to a nucleic acid sequence encompasses its complement unless otherwise specified. Thus, a reference to a nucleic acid molecule having a particular sequence should be understood to encompass its complementary strand, with its complementary sequence. The term also includes codon-biased polynucleotides for improved expression in a desired host cell.


A “substitution,” as used herein, denotes the replacement of one or more amino acids or nucleotides by different amino acids or nucleotides, respectively.


An “isolated” nucleic acid refers to a nucleic acid molecule that has been separated from a component of its natural environment. An isolated nucleic acid includes a nucleic acid molecule contained in cells that ordinarily contain the nucleic acid molecule, but the nucleic acid molecule is present extrachromosomally or at a chromosomal location that is different from its natural chromosomal location. “Isolated nucleic acid encoding an FLT3L-Fc fusion protein” refers to one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding first antigen binding domain, and optionally second antigen binding domain, antibody heavy and light chains (or fragments thereof), including such nucleic acid molecule(s) in a single vector or separate vectors, and such nucleic acid molecule(s) present at one or more locations in a host cell.


An “isolated” polypeptide, such as an isolated FLT3L-Fc fusion protein provided herein, is one that has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials that would interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the polypeptide, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In some embodiments, the isolated polypeptide will be purified (1) to greater than 95% by weight of polypeptide as determined by the Lowry method, for example, more than 99% by weight, (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under reducing or nonreducing conditions using Coomassie blue or silver stain. Isolated polypeptide includes the polypeptide in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated polypeptide will be prepared by at least one purification step.


A “polynucleotide variant,” as the term is used herein, is a polynucleotide that typically differs from a polynucleotide specifically disclosed herein in one or more substitutions, deletions, additions and/or insertions. Such variants may be naturally occurring or may be synthetically generated, for example, by modifying one or more of the polynucleotide sequences described herein and evaluating one or more biological activities of the encoded polypeptide as described herein and/or using any of a number of techniques well known in the art.


In some embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule is codon-biased to enhance expression in a desired host cell, e.g., in human cells, mammalian cells, yeast cells, plant cells, insect cells, or bacterial cells, e.g., E. coli cells. Accordingly, provided are polynucleotides encoding a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein wherein the polynucleotides are codon-biased, comprise replacement heterologous signal sequences, and/or have mRNA instability elements eliminated. Methods to generate codon-biased nucleic acids can be carried out by adapting the methods described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,965,726; 6,174,666; 6,291,664; 6,414,132; and 6,794,498. Preferred codon usage for expression of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins in desired host cells is provided, e.g., at kazusa.or.jp/codon/; and genscript.com/tools/codon-frequency-table.


In some embodiments, the polynucleotide encoding a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, as described herein, has at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% identical, or 100% identical to an nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 28-70, as provided in Table C.


As appropriate, in certain embodiments, the 3′-end of the polynucleotide encoding the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein comprises multiple tandem stop codons, e.g., two or more tandem TAG (“amber”), TAA (“ochre”) or TGA (“opal” or “umber”) stop codons. The multiple tandem stop codons can be the same or different.

4. Vectors and Host Cells


Further provided are vectors comprising one or more polynucleotides encoding one or more of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins, described herein. A vector can be of any type, for example, a recombinant vector such as an expression vector. Vectors include without limitation, plasmids, cosmids, bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) and yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) and vectors derived from bacteriophages or plant or animal (including human) viruses. Vectors can comprise an origin of replication recognized by the proposed host cell and in the case of expression vectors, promoter and other regulatory regions recognized by the host cell. In additional embodiments, a vector comprises a polynucleotide encoding an antibody of the disclosure operably linked to a promoter and optionally additional regulatory elements. Certain vectors are capable of autonomous replication in a host into which they are introduced (e.g., vectors having a bacterial origin of replication can replicate in bacteria). Other vectors can be integrated into the genome of a host upon introduction into the host, and thereby are replicated along with the host genome. Vectors include without limitation, those suitable for recombinant production of the antibodies disclosed herein.


The choice of the vector is dependent on the recombinant procedures followed and the host used. Introduction of vectors into host cells can be affected by inter alia calcium phosphate transfection, virus infection, DEAE-dextran-mediated transfection, lipofectamine transfection or electroporation. Vectors may be autonomously replicating or may replicate together with the chromosome into which they have been integrated. In certain embodiments, the vectors contain one or more selection markers. The choice of the markers may depend on the host cells of choice. These include without limitation, kanamycin, neomycin, puromycin, hygromycin, zeocin, thymidine kinase gene from Herpes simplex virus (HSV-TK), and dihydrofolate reductase gene from mouse (dhfr). Vectors comprising one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein, operably linked to one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding proteins or peptides that can be used to isolate the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins, are also covered by the disclosure. These proteins or peptides include without limitation, glutathione-S-transferase, maltose binding protein, metal-binding polyhistidine, green fluorescent protein, luciferase and beta-galactosidase.


In other embodiments, the vector that is used is pcDNA™3.1+(ThermoFisher, MA).


In some embodiments, the viral vector comprises an oncolytic viral vector. As appropriate, the oncolytic viral vector can be a DNA virus or a RNA virus. In some embodiments, the viral vector is from a viral family selected from the group consisting of: Adenoviridae (e.g., Adenovirus), Arenaviridae (e.g., lymphocytic choriomeningitis mammarenavirus, Cali mammarenavirus (a.k.a., Pichinde mammarenavirus), Poxviridae (e.g., Vaccinia virus), Herpesviridae (e.g., Herpesvirus, e.g., HSV-1), Parvoviridae (e.g., Parvovirus H1), Reoviridae (e.g., Reovirus), Picornaviridae (e.g., Coxsackievirus, Seneca Valley Virus, Poliovirus), Paramyxoviridae (e.g., Measles virus, Newcastle disease virus (NDV)), Rhabdoviridae (e.g., Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)), Togaviridae (e.g., Alphavirus, Sindbis virus), Enteroviridae (e.g., Echovirus). The use of oncolytic viruses in cancer therapy is described e.g., Fukuhara, et al., Cancer Sci. (2016) 107(10):1373-1379; Kaufman, et al., Nat Rev Drug Discov. (2015) 14(9):642-62; Hamid, et al., Cancer Immunol Immunother. (2017) 66(10):1249-1264; Taguchi, et al., Int J Urol. (2017) 24(5):342-351; and Buijs, et al., Hum Vaccin Immunother. (2015) 11(7):1573-84.


The disclosure also provides host cells comprising a nucleic acid or a vector described herein. Any of a variety of host cells can be used. In one embodiment, a host cell is a prokaryotic cell, for example, E. coli. In another embodiment, a host cell is a eukaryotic cell, for example, a yeast cell, a plant cell, an insect cell, a mammalian cell, such as a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)-based or CHO-origin cell line (e.g., CHO-S, CHO DG44, ExpiCHO™, CHOZN® ZFN-modified GS−/− CHO cell line, CHO-K1, CHO-K1a), COS cells, BHK cells, NSO cells or Bowes melanoma cells. Examples of human host cells are, inter alia, HeLa, 911, AT1080, A549 and HEK293 (e.g., HEK293E, HEK293T, Expi293™). In addition, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins can be expressed in a yeast cell such as Pichia (see, e.g., Powers et al., J Immunol Methods. 251:123-35 (2001)), Hanseula, or Saccharomyces.


In some embodiments, the host cell predominantly sialylates N-linked glycosylation sites of the fusion protein. In some embodiments, the polynucleotides encoding a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, as described herein, are expressed in a host cell that sialylates at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, or more, N-linked glycosylation sites in the expressed FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins.


The term “vector,” as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of propagating another nucleic acid to which it is linked. The term includes the vector as a self-replicating nucleic acid structure as well as the vector incorporated into the genome of a host cell into which it has been introduced. Some vectors are suitable for delivering the nucleic acid molecule or polynucleotide of the present application. Certain vectors are capable of directing the expression of nucleic acids to which they are operatively linked. Such vectors are referred to herein as expression vectors.


The term “operably linked” refers to two or more nucleic acid sequence or polypeptide elements that are usually physically linked and are in a functional relationship with each other. For instance, a promoter is operably linked to a coding sequence if the promoter is able to initiate or regulate the transcription or expression of a coding sequence, in which case, the coding sequence should be understood as being “under the control of” the promoter.


The terms “host cell,” “host cell line,” and “host cell culture” are used interchangeably and refer to cells into which exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of such cells. Host cells include “transformants” and “transformed cells,” which include the primary transformed cell and progeny derived therefrom without regard to the number of passages. Progeny may not be completely identical in nucleic acid content to a parent cell, but may contain mutations. Mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as screened or selected for in the originally transformed cell are included herein.


As appropriate, the host cells can be stably or transiently transfected with a polynucleotide encoding a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, as described herein.


5. Methods of Producing FLT3L-Fc Fusion Proteins


The FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein can be produced by any method known in the art for the synthesis of fusion proteins, for example, by chemical synthesis or by recombinant expression techniques.


Methods of recombinant expression of fusion proteins are known and can be applied to the recombinant production and isolation/purification of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins. Methods of recombinantly expressing proteins, including fusion proteins, are described, for example, in Green and Sambrook, “Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual,” 4th Edition, 2012, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; Current Protocols in Protein Science, Wiley, 1995-2109 (currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/19343663/); and Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Wiley, 1987-2019 (currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/19343647/). In addition, other publications relating to producing recombinantly expressed fusion proteins include, e.g., Argelia Lorence (Editor), “Recombinant Gene Expression” (Methods in Molecular Biology) 2012, Humana Press; James L Hartley (Editor), “Protein Expression in Mammalian Cells: Methods and Protocols” (Methods in Molecular Biology) 2012, Humana Press; Roslyn M. Bill (Editor), “Recombinant Protein Production in Yeast: Methods and Protocols” (Methods in Molecular Biology) 2012, Humana Press; and MacDonald, Kolotilin and Menassa (Editors) “Recombinant Proteins from Plants: Methods and Protocols” (Methods in Molecular Biology), 2nd Edition, 2016, Humana Press.


In various embodiments, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein may be produced in bacterial or eukaryotic cells. The FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins can also be produced in eukaryotic cells such as transformed cell lines (e.g., CHO, CHO-S, CHO DG44, ExpiCHO™, CHOZN®, CHO-K1, CHO-K1a, 293E, 293T, COS, NIH3T3). In addition, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein can be expressed in a yeast cell such as Pichia (see, e.g., Powers et al., J Immunol Methods. 251:123-35 (2001)), Hanseula, or Saccharomyces. In one embodiment, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins described herein are produced in a CHO cell line, e.g., a CHO-S, CHO DG44, ExpiCHO™, CHOZN®, CHO-K1, CHO-K1a cell line, or a HEK293 (e.g., HEK293E, HEK293T, Expi293™) cell line. To produce the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins of interest (including a heterodimer comprising the FLT3-Fc fusion protein), one or more polynucleotides encoding the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins is constructed, introduced into an expression vector, and then expressed in one or more suitable host cells. In some embodiments, three polynucleotides encoding a FLT3L-Fc fusion, a Fab heavy chain and a Fab light chain comprising a second antigen binding domain are co-expressed in a single host cell. Standard molecular biology techniques are used to prepare the recombinant expression vector, transfect the host cells, select for transformants, culture the host cells, and recover the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins.


In some embodiments, the host cell predominantly sialylates N-linked glycosylation sites of the fusion protein. In some embodiments, the polynucleotides encoding a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, as described herein, are expressed in a host cell that sialylates at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, or more, N-linked glycosylation sites in the expressed FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins.


If the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins are to be expressed in bacterial cells (e.g., E. coli), the expression vector should have characteristics that permit amplification of the vector in the bacterial cells. Additionally, when E. coli such as JM109, DH5α, HB101, or XL1-Blue is used as a host, the vector must have a promoter, for example, a lacZ promoter (Ward et al., 341:544-546 (1989), araB promoter (Better et al., Science, 240:1041-1043 (1988)), or T7 promoter that can allow efficient expression in E. coli. Examples of such vectors include, for example, M13-series vectors, pUC-series vectors, pBR322, pBluescript, pCR-Script, pGEX-5X-1 (Pharmacia), “QIAexpress system” (QIAGEN), pEGFP, and pET (when this expression vector is used, the host is preferably BL21 expressing T7 RNA polymerase). The expression vector may contain a signal sequence for secretion of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins. For production into the periplasm of E. coli, the pelB signal sequence (Lei et al., J. Bacteriol., 169: 4379 (1987)) may be used as the signal sequence for secretion of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins. For bacterial expression, calcium chloride methods or electroporation methods may be used to introduce the expression vector into the bacterial cell.


If the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins are to be expressed in mammalian cells (e.g., such as CHO-S, CHO DG44, ExpiCHO™, CHOZN®, CHO-K1, CHO-K1a, 293E, 293T, Expi293™, COS, NIH3T3 cells), the expression vector includes a promoter to promote expression in these cells, for example, an SV40 promoter (Mulligan et al., Nature, 277:108 (1979)), MMLV-LTR promoter, EF1α promoter (Mizushima et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 18:5322 (1990)), or CMV promoter. In addition to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the immunoglobulin or domain thereof, the recombinant expression vectors may carry additional sequences, such as sequences that regulate replication of the vector in host cells (e.g., origins of replication) and selectable marker genes. The selectable marker gene facilitates selection of host cells into which the vector has been introduced (see e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,399,216, 4,634,665 and 5,179,017). For example, typically the selectable marker gene confers resistance to drugs, such as G418, hygromycin, or methotrexate, on a host cell into which the vector has been introduced. Examples of vectors with selectable markers include pMAM, pDR2, pBK-RSV, pBK-CMV, pOPRSV, and pOP13.


In one embodiment, the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins are produced in mammalian cells. Exemplary mammalian host cells for expressing FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins include Chinese Hamster Ovary (e.g., CHO, CHO-S, CHO DG44, ExpiCHO™, CHOZN®, CHO-K1, CHO-K1a) (including dhfr− CHO cells, described in Urlaub and Chasin (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77: 4216-4220, used with a DHFR selectable marker, e.g., as described in Kaufman and Sharp (1982) Mol. Biol. 159:601 621), human embryonic kidney 293 cells (e.g., 293, 293E, 293T, Expi293™), COS cells, NIH3T3 cells, lymphocytic cell lines, e.g., NSO myeloma cells and SP2 cells, and a cell from a transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mammal. For example, in some embodiments, the cell is a mammary epithelial cell.


In an exemplary system for expression of the FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins, recombinant expression vectors encoding the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein are introduced into dhfr− CHO cells by calcium phosphate-mediated transfection. In a specific embodiment, the dhfr− CHO cells are cells of the DG44 cell line, such as DG44i (see, e.g., Derouaz et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun., 340(4):1069-77 (2006)). Within the recombinant expression vectors, the polynucleotide encoding the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, and optionally a second polynucleotide encoding a second Fc fusion protein for forming a heterodimer, are operatively linked to enhancer/promoter regulatory elements (e.g., derived from SV40, CMV, adenovirus and the like, such as a CMV enhancer/AdMLP promoter regulatory element or an SV40 enhancer/AdMLP promoter regulatory element) to drive high levels of transcription of the genes. The recombinant expression vectors also carry a DHFR gene, which allows for selection of CHO cells that have been transfected with the vector using methotrexate selection/amplification. The selected transformant host cells are cultured to allow for expression and secretion of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, and the fusion protein is recovered from the culture medium.


The FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins can also be produced by a transgenic animal. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,849,992 describes a method of expressing an antibody in the mammary gland of a transgenic mammal. A transgene is constructed that includes a milk-specific promoter and one or more polynucleotides encoding the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein of interest and a signal sequence for secretion. The milk produced by females of such transgenic mammals includes, secreted-therein, the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein of interest. The FLT3L-Fc fusion protein can be purified from the milk, or for some applications, used directly. Animals are also provided comprising one or more of the FLT3L-Fc-encoding nucleic acids described herein.


The FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins can be isolated from inside or outside (such as medium) of the host cell and purified as substantially pure and homogenous, non-aggregated FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins (e.g., including monomeric, homodimeric and/or heterodimeric bispecific FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins). Methods for isolation and purification commonly used for protein purification, including antibody purification, may be used for the isolation and purification of herein described FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins, and are not limited to any particular method. Applicable protein purification techniques are described, e.g., in Labrou, Chronopoulou and Ataya (Editors), “Handbook on Protein Purification: Industry Challenges and Technological Developments, 2018, Nova Science Pub Inc; Gottschalk (Editor), “Process Scale Purification of Antibodies,” 2nd Edition, 2017, Wiley; Staby, Rathore and Ahuja (Editors), “Preparative Chromatography for Separation of Proteins, 2017, Wiley; and Labrou (Editor), “Protein Downstream Processing: Design, Development and Application of High and Low-Resolution Methods, 2014, Human Press. The FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins may be isolated and purified by appropriately selecting and combining, for example, column chromatography, filtration, ultrafiltration, salting out, solvent precipitation, solvent extraction, distillation, immunoprecipitation, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, dialysis, and recrystallization. Chromatography includes, for example, affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, gel filtration, reverse-phase chromatography, and adsorption chromatography (Strategies for Protein Purification and Characterization: A Laboratory Course Manual. Ed Daniel R. Marshak et al., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1996). Chromatography can be carried out using liquid phase chromatography such as HPLC and FPLC. Columns used for affinity chromatography include protein A column and protein G column. Examples of columns using protein A column include Hyper D, POROS, and Sepharose FF (GE Healthcare Biosciences). The present disclosure also includes FLT3L-Fc fusion proteins that are highly purified using these purification methods.

As used herein, the terms “inhibition of cancer” and “inhibition of cancer cell proliferation” refer to the inhibition of the growth, division, maturation or viability of cancer cells, and/or causing the death of cancer cells, individually or in aggregate with other cancer cells, by cytotoxicity, nutrient depletion, or the induction of apoptosis.


As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease or disorder, or one or more symptoms thereof, as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more symptoms have developed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of symptoms. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of genetic or other susceptibility factors). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example to prevent or delay their recurrence.


As used herein, “delaying” development of a disease or disorder, or one or more symptoms thereof, means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize and/or postpone development of the disease, disorder, or symptom thereof. This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or subject being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the subject does not develop the disease, disorder, or symptom thereof. For example, a method that “delays” development of AIDS is a method that reduces the probability of disease development in a given time frame and/or reduces extent of the disease in a given time frame, when compared to not using the method. Such comparisons may be based on clinical studies, using a statistically significant number of subjects. For example, the development of AIDS can be detected using known methods, such as confirming a subject's HIV+ status and assessing the subject's T-cell count or other indication of AIDS development, such as extreme fatigue, weight loss, persistent diarrhea, high fever, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin, or presence of an opportunistic condition that is known to be associated with AIDS (e.g., a condition that is generally not present in subjects with functioning immune systems but does occur in AIDS patients). Development may also refer to disease progression that may be initially undetectable and includes occurrence, recurrence and onset.


As used herein, “prevention” or “preventing” refers to a regimen that protects against the onset of the disease or disorder such that the clinical symptoms of the disease do not develop. Thus, “prevention” relates to administration of a therapy (e.g., administration of a therapeutic substance) to a subject before signs of the disease are detectable in the subject (e.g., administration of a therapeutic substance to a subject in the absence of detectable infectious agent (e.g., virus) in the subject). The subject may be an individual at risk of developing the disease or disorder, such as an individual who has one or more risk factors known to be associated with development or onset of the disease or disorder. For example, the term “preventing HIV infection” refers to administering to a subject who does not have a detectable HIV infection an anti-HIV therapeutic substance. It is understood that the subject for anti-HIV preventative therapy may be an individual at risk of contracting the HIV virus. Further, it is understood that prevention may not result in complete protection against onset of the disease or disorder. In some instances, prevention includes reducing the risk of developing the disease or disorder. The reduction of the risk may not result in complete elimination of the risk of developing the disease or disorder.


As used herein, an “anti-Trop2 ADC” comprises a monoclonal antibody and a topoisomerase I inhibitor. The topoisomerase I inhibitor may comprise irinotecan, topetecan, or SN-38. The anti-Trop2 ADC may comprise a structural formula of mAb-CL2A-SN-38, with a structure represented by:

Any of the methods of antiviral treatment provided herein may be used to treat a viral infection at various stages. In some embodiments, the subject is at an early stage of a viral infection. In other embodiments, the subject is at an advanced stage of a viral infection. In some embodiments, one or more administrations of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, optionally with one or more additional therapeutic agents, can promote the reduction of a viral titer in a subject.


In some embodiments, the subject may be a human who is at risk, or genetically or otherwise predisposed (e.g., risk factor) to developing cancer or hyperproliferative disease who has or has not been diagnosed. In some embodiments, the subject may be a human who is at risk, or genetically or otherwise predisposed (e.g., risk factor) to a disease, disorder, or symptoms thereof, caused by a viral infection who has or has not been diagnosed.


As used herein, an “at risk” individual is an individual who is at risk of developing a condition to be treated. In some embodiments, an “at risk” subject is a subject who is at risk of developing cancer. Generally, an“at risk” subject may or may not have detectable disease, and may or may not have displayed detectable disease prior to the treatment methods described herein. “At risk” denotes that an individual has one or more so-called risk factors, which are measurable parameters that correlate with development of a disease or condition and are known in the art. For example, an at risk subject may have one or more risk factors, which are measurable parameters that correlate with development of cancer, which are described herein. A subject having one or more of these risk factors has a higher probability of developing cancer than an individual without these risk factor(s). In general, risk factors may include, for example, age, sex, race, diet, history of previous disease, presence of precursor disease, genetic (e.g., hereditary) considerations, and environmental exposure. In some embodiments, the subjects at risk for cancer include, for example, those having relatives who have experienced the disease, and those whose risk is determined by analysis of genetic or biochemical markers. In some embodiments, the at risk subject is at risk of developing symptoms of a viral infection. For example, individuals at risk for AIDS are those infected with HIV.


In addition, the subject may be a human who is undergoing one or more standard therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery, or combination thereof. Accordingly, one or more kinase inhibitors may be administered before, during, or after administration of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery or combination thereof.


In certain embodiments, the subject may be a human who is (i) substantially refractory to at least one chemotherapy treatment, or (ii) is in relapse after treatment with chemotherapy, or both (i) and (ii). In some of embodiments, the subject is refractory to at least two, at least three, or at least four chemotherapy treatments (including standard or experimental chemotherapies).

The FLT3L-Fc variants described herein can be used to promote or accelerate the recovery from or reverse the effects of lymphopenia or neutropenia. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the subject has neutropenia or lymphopenia, e.g., as a result of having received or undergone a lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen, e.g., an alkylating agent such as chlorambucil or cyclophosphamide, or a nucleoside analog, including pyrimidine nucleosides such as cytarabine and purine nucleosides such as cladribine, pentostatin and fludarabine. See, e.g., Lowe, et al., Gene Therapy (2018) 25:176-191. In certain embodiments, the methods comprise (a) subjecting a patient to a lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen; (b) administering a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, homodimer, heterodimer, conjugate, polynucleotide, vector, lipoplex, such as an LNP, and/or pharmaceutical composition, as described herein; and (c) administering to the patient a cellular therapy, as described herein. Illustrative lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimens, along with correlative beneficial biomarkers, are described in WO 2016/191756 and WO 2019/079564, incorporated herein by reference in their entireties for all purposes. In certain embodiments, the lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen comprises administering to the patient doses of cyclophosphamide (between 200 mg/m2/day and 2000 mg/m2/day) and doses of fludarabine (between 20 mg/m2/day and 900 mg/m2/day). One such dose regimen involves treating a patient comprising administering daily to the patient about 500 mg/m2/day of cyclophosphamide and about 60 mg/m2/day of fludarabine for three days, e.g., prior to administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a cellular therapy (e.g., an effector cell having a chimeric antigen receptor) to the patient. In another example, in some embodiments, a lymphodepleting chemotherapy regimen of cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 IV and fludarabine 30 mg/m2 IV on the fifth, fourth, and third day e.g., prior to administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a cellular therapy (e.g., an effector cell having a chimeric antigen receptor) to the patient. In some embodiments, the subject is naïve to or has not received chemotherapy. In some embodiments, the subject has bone marrow cells (e.g., is not depleted of bone marrow cells).


In some embodiments, the subject does not have a mutation in the gene encoding the FLT3 receptor that causes or results in or is associated with cancer, e.g., FLT3 mutations associated with constitutive signaling of the FLT3 receptor, e.g., FLT3 mutations associated with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). For example, in certain embodiments, the subject does not have internal tandem duplication (ITD) of the FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene, which occurs in exons 14 and 15, and is one of the most prevalent somatic mutations in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In some embodiments, the subject does not have a mutation in the FLT3 gene in exon 20 that affects codon 835, encoding the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD) mutation, which occurs relatively frequently in adult AML. In some embodiments, the subject does not have point mutations affecting amino acid positions D835 (e.g., resulting in D835Y, D835V, and D835H amino acid substitutions) and/or 1836 in the TKD.

EXAMPLES

The following examples are offered to illustrate, but not to limit the claimed invention.


Example 1
In Vitro Potency of Different FLT3 Agonist Modalities

In this example, we compared the in vitro potency of FLT3 agonists of different modalities, including recombinant ligand, FLT3 ligand-Fc fusion protein, and anti-mouse FLT3 agonist antibody (comparator 1). We tested in vitro potency employing a M1 IL-6 Secretion Assay.


Methods

M1 IL-6 Secretion Assay: Murine myeloid leukemic M1 cells (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), TIB-192) were collected from culture, counted, and resuspended to 0.5×106 cells/ml with serum-free RPMI1640. In a 96-well U-bottom tissue culture plate, 100 μl of resuspended cells (50,000 cells) was added to each well, then 50 μl of 4× test article was added to each well and 50 μl of serum-free RPMI was added into the wells for a final volume of 200 μl per well. Cells were incubated overnight at 37° C. The next day, cells were spun down at 500 g for 5 min at ambient temperatures. Supernatants were then collected for mouse IL-6 quantification (Meso Scale Discovery (MSD), Cat: K152AKB-1) which was performed by following the manufacturer's protocol. EC50 and Emax values of each sample were determined by plotting the concentration of the FLT3 agonist compound against the IL-6 supernatant concentration (pg/mL) and fit to a four parameter logistic (4PL) regression curve.


Results

The data demonstrated that recombinant FLT3-ligand recombinant FLT3-ligand Fc fusion protein were superior to FLT3 agonist antibody (comparator 1) in activating M1 cells to produce IL-6 in a dose dependent manner. These data also demonstrated that human FLT3-ligand proteins can potently activate murine FLT3. These results are summarized in Table 1 and depicted in FIG. 1.

Example 2
In Vitro Potency of FLT3L-Fc Fusion Proteins Having Different IgG Backbones

In this example, we compared the in vitro potency of different FLT3-Ligand Fc fusion protein variants: one having a hingeless human IgG1 backbone (SEQ ID NO:1) and a second having a human IgG1 backbone (SEQ ID NO:21). For this comparison, we tested the in vitro potency employing an AML5 Proliferation Assay.


Methods

AML5 Proliferation Assay: AML5 cells (Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen (DSMZ), ACC247) were starved 0/N (18-24h) with serum free MEM-α. The next day, using a 96-well white opaque half area flat bottom TC plates (Costar, 3688), 25,000 cells per well were stimulated with the various compounds for 72h. Plates were sealed with a breathable plate sealer (Sigma, Z380059-1PAK) during the incubation. After incubation, proliferation was assessed through CellTiter Glo assay (Promega, G7571) using manufacturer's recommendations. Luminescence signals were measured using a SpectraMax plate reader. EC50 value of each sample was determined by plotting the concentration of the compound against the luminescence signal and fit to a 4PL curve.


Results

The data demonstrated that the potency of FLT3-ligand Fc fusion with hingeless IgG1 (SEQ ID NO:1) and FLT3-ligand Fc fusion with IgG1 (SEQ ID NO:21) was similar to that of recombinant human FLT3 ligand in inducing FLT3-dependent proliferation in AML5 cells, with EC50 values ranging between 0.035-0.04 nM. The results are summarized in Table 2 and depicted in FIG. 2.

Results

The data demonstrated that the potency of FLT3-ligand Fc fusion protein variants with gain-of-function mutations in the FLT3L extracellular domain (H8Y and/or K84E; SEQ ID NOs: 22, 23 and 24) in inducing FLT3-dependent proliferation in AML5 cells was approximately 2.5× fold higher than that of human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:1). The results are summarized in Table 3 and depicted in FIG. 3.

In Vitro Potency of Murine Surrogate FLT3-Ligand Fc Fusion Variants

In this example, we compared the in vitro potency of human FLT3-ligand hingeless human IgG1 fusion protein with two murine surrogate FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins. These murine surrogate proteins contained the wild type murine FLT3-ligand extracellular region fused to a L234A/L235A/P329G variant of murine IgG2a Fc region (IgG2a-LALA-PG), or, a C136S variant of murine FLT3-ligand extracellular region fused to the same Fc, where the C136S mutation was incorporated to eliminate an unpaired cysteine liability. We tested the in vitro potency employing an AML5 Proliferation Assay. The methods are as described above in Example 2.


Results

The data demonstrated that the potency of murine surrogate FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins (SEQ ID NOs: 19 and 20) in inducing human FLT3-dependent proliferation in AML5 cells is similar to that of human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:1), with EC50 values ranging between 0.171-0.078 nM. The results are summarized in Table 4 and depicted in FIG. 4.

In this example, we compared the in vitro potency of eight different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins. We tested the in vitro potency employing an AML5 Proliferation Assay. The methods are as described above in Example 2.


Results

We tested the potency in inducing FLT3-dependent proliferation in AML5 cells of the eight human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion protein variants with different Fc regions, or containing modifications in the FLT3-ligand derived sequence (SEQ ID NOs: 1-8). The eight FLT3L-Fc variants tested are as follows: human FLT3-ligand human hingeless IgG1 fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:1), human FLT3-ligand (Δ5 amino acid) human hingeless IgG1 fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:2), human FLT3-ligand human IgG4 (S228P/L235E) fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:3), human FLT3-ligand human IgG4 (S228P/F234A/L235A) fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:4), human FLT3-ligand (S128A/S151A) human hingeless IgG1 fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:5), human FLT3-ligand (Δ5 amino acid) human IgG4 (S228P/F234A/L235A) fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:6), human FLT3-ligand (Δ10 amino acid) human hingeless IgG1 fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:7), or human FLT3-ligand (Δ10 amino acid) human IgG4 (S228P/F234A/L235A) fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:8). The resulting EC50 values ranged between 0.071-0.088 nM. The results are summarized in Table 5 and depicted in FIG. 5.

Example 6
In Vitro FLT3 Binding of Different FLT3L-Fc Fusion Proteins

In this example, we compared the in vitro binding to human recombinant FLT3 of eight different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion protein variants. We tested the in vitro FLT3 binding employing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).


Methods

Flt3L-Fc fusion protein constructs were serially diluted and added to 96-well nickel plates (Pierce) coated with his-tagged recombinant human Flt3 receptor (Sino Biologicals). Bound Flt3L-Fc was detected using a goat anti-human (H+L) polyclonal antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Jackson Immunoresearch). Signal was developed using TMB substrate then quenched prior to reading absorbance at 450 nm on a SpectraMax plate reader. Flt3L-Fc concentration was plotted against signal and fit to a 4PL curve to determine the EC50 value of each construct.


Results

These data demonstrated that binding to human FLT3 receptor was similar for FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins of the same Fc isotype (IgG1, SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 5, 7; or IgG4, SEQ ID NOs: 3, 4, 6, 8). EC50 values ranged between 0.11-0.13 nM for IgG1 constructs, 0.18-0.22 nM for IgG4 constructs. These data also demonstrated that short truncations at the C-terminus of the FLT3-ligand portion (SEQ ID NOs: 2, 6, 7, 8) or mutations that eliminate N-linked glycans in FLT3-ligand (SEQ ID NO: 5) also had negligible effect on binding to FLT3. The results are summarized in Table 6 and depicted in FIG. 6.

In Vitro FcRn Binding of Different FLT3L-Fc Fusion Proteins

In this example, we compared the in vitro binding of eight different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to human recombinant FcRn. We tested the in vitro FLT3 binding employing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).


Methods

Flt3L-Fc constructs were serially diluted and added to 96-well plates coated with recombinant human FcRn. The bound Flt3L-Fc was detected using a donkey anti-human (H+L) antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Jackson Immunoresearch). Signal was developed using TMB substrate then quenched prior to reading absorbance at 450-650 nm on a SpectraMax plate reader. Flt3L-Fc concentration was plotted against signal and fit to a 4PL curve. A full length IgG1 and IgG4 isotype was included in the initial experiment as Fc isotype controls.


Results

These data demonstrated that binding to human FcRn in this assay was weaker for the eight human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1-8) compared to the human IgG1 and IgG4 isotype antibody controls, but relatively similar to each other. EC50 values for the FLT3L-Fc protein variant samples summarized in Table 7 are only estimates, as none of the FLT3L-Fc variants of SEQ ID NOs: 1-8 demonstrated saturating signal at the highest concentration tested. The results are also depicted in FIG. 7.

Example 8
Ability of FLT3L-Fc Variants to Compete for Binding to Human FcγRI

In this example, we compared the in vitro ability of eight different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to compete with a human IgG molecule for binding to human recombinant FcγRI. To evaluate the ability to compete for binding to FcγRI, we employed an amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay (AlphaScreen® by Perkin Elmer).


Methods

Serial dilutions of the Flt3L-Fc constructs were added to 96-well plates containing biotinylated FcγRI protein (Sino Biological). Human IgG acceptor beads (Perkin Elmer) were added to the plate, followed by streptavidin donor beads (Perkin Elmer). Acceptor beads contain thioxene derivatives. Donor beads contain a photosensitizer, phthalocyanine, which converts ambient oxygen to an excited and reactive form of 02, singlet oxygen (molecular oxygen with a single excited electron), upon illumination at 680 nm. If an acceptor bead is within 200 nm of a donor bead, energy is transferred from the singlet oxygen to thioxene derivatives within the acceptor bead, subsequently culminating in light production at 520-620 nm. Signal was measured on an EnVision™ plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Flt3L-Fc concentration was plotted against signal and fit to a 4PL curve. Full length IgG1 and IgG4 molecules were included on each plate as Fc isotype controls.


Results

These data demonstrated that none of the eight human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1-8) could fully compete with human IgG for binding to FcγRT at the highest concentrations tested. Both the human IgG1 and IgG4 isotype antibody controls demonstrated complete dose-response curves, with the IgG4 isotype showing reduced competition compared to the IgG1. The results are summarized in Table 8 and depicted in FIG. 8.

Ability of FLT3L-Fc Variants to Compete for Binding to Human FcγRIIIa

In this example, we compared the in vitro ability of eight different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to compete for binding of human recombinant FcγRIIIa (V-variant) with a human IgG molecule. To evaluate the ability to compete for binding to FcγRIIIa, we employed an AlphaScreen® by Perkin Elmer. The methods are analogous to those described in Example 8.


Methods

Serial dilutions of the Flt3L-Fc constructs were added to 96-well plates containing biotinylated FcγRIIIa (Val 176 variant) protein (Sino Biological). Human IgG acceptor beads (Perkin Elmer) were added to the plate, followed by streptavidin donor beads (Perkin Elmer), and signal was measured on an EnVision™ plate reader. Flt3L-Fc concentration was plotted against signal and fit to a 4PL curve. Full length IgG1 and IgG4 molecules were included on each plate as Fc isotype controls.


Results

These data demonstrated that none of the eight human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1-8) could fully compete with human IgG for binding to FcγRIIIa (Val176 variant) at the highest concentrations tested. Only human IgG1 isotype control demonstrated a complete dose-response curve. The results are summarized in Table 9 and depicted in FIG. 9.

In Vitro Binding of FLT3L-Fc Variants to Human C1q

In this example, we compared the in vitro binding of eight different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to human recombinant complement protein, C1q. To evaluate binding to C1q, we employed an ELISA.


Methods

Serial dilutions of the Flt3L-Fc constructs were immobilized onto 96-well plates, followed by incubation with the recombinant human C1q protein (Fitzgerald). Binding was detected using a sheep anti-C1q antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (BioRad). Signal was developed using TMB substrate then quenched prior to reading absorbance at 450-650 nm on a SpectraMax plate reader. Flt3L-Fc concentration was plotted against signal and fit to a 4PL curve. Full length IgG1 and IgG4 molecules were included on each plate as Fc isotype controls.


Results

These data demonstrated that the eight human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1-8) were devoid of C1q binding ability. Both the human IgG1 and IgG4 isotype controls demonstrated binding to C1q, with the IgG4 isotype showing reduced binding compared to the IgG1. The results are summarized in Table 10 and depicted in FIG. 10.

In Vivo Pharmacokinetics of FLT3L-Fc Variants in Mice

In this example, we compared the single dose pharmacokinetics of eight different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins in C57Bl/6 mice.


Methods

FLT3L-Fc Variants (SEQ ID NOs:1-8) were administered to male C57Bl/6 mice n=4/group (Covance, Wis.) at 5 mg/kg via a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection to characterize their basic pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles. Serial serum samples collected from mice were analyzed using U-PLEX FLT3L assay (Mesos Scale Discovery, MSD) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The calibration curve used the respective individual FLT3-ligand fusion proteins as reference standards in spiked mouse matrix fit to a 4-parameter logistic model with 1/Y2 weighting. Analyte concentrations were determined from the electrochemiluminescence signals back-fitted to the calibration curve. Serum concentration-time profiles were used to calculate the mean±SD serum PK parameters by non-compartmental PK analysis. Area under the curve (AUC0-7d) was determined through day 7 due to development of immunogenicity. Clearance (Cl/F) and half-life values reported in Table 11 are considered estimates due to the incomplete terminal extrapolation.


Results

Pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that all eight Fc-fusions significantly enhanced the AUC exposure by approximately 5-12-fold in comparison to native human Flt3L, resulting in reduced FLT3-ligand clearance and prolonging the half-life (Table 11). We further observed a potential role of N-linked glycosylation on the pharmacokinetics because the aglycosylated FLT3L-Fc variant (SEQ ID NO: 5) had the highest AUC exposure. Additionally, we observed cell line dependent differences in PK evident by comparing data for samples corresponding to SEQ ID NO:1 produced in either Expi293 or ExpiCHO cells. The results are summarized in Table 11 and depicted in FIGS. 11A-11B.

Methods

Spleens were harvested from C57BL/6 mice from FIG. 11 at Day 11 post injection at 4° C. in HypoThermosol solution (BioLife Solutions). Spleens were then dissociated by using the gentleMACS Dissociator (Miltenyi Biotec) with heaters, following manufacturer's protocol. After enzymatic digestion, cell suspension was filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer. The remaining tube and strainer were rinsed 1× with 15-20 ml of RPMI and collected with the rest of the sample. Cells were centrifuged at 500 g for 5 min at room temperature. Supernatant was discarded and cells were washed 1× with PBS. Residual red blood cells were lysed by adding 2 ml of ACK lysis to each sample for 1-2 min at room temperature. FACS staining Buffer (BD Bioscience) was added to the samples to stop the ACK lysis activity. Cells were spun down and washed additionally with PBS. Samples were then stained with Live/Dead Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit (ThermoFisher) at 1:750 dilution for 15 min at 4° C. Cells were washed 2× with FACS staining buffer, then Fc blocked for 30 min at 4° C. FACS antibodies (Biolegend) were directly added to the blocked samples and incubated at 4° C. for 30 min without spinning down or washing out the Fc block. Cells were washed 2×, resuspended in Staining Buffer, and analyzed by LSR Fortessa FACS analyzer. Raw data were analyzed by FlowJo X (BD Bioscience).


Results

The data demonstrated that the ability of the eight human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1-8) to expand splenic conventional dendritic cell subtype 1 (cDC1) in vivo at day 11 in mice was greater than that of the recombinant FLT3-ligand after a single dose administration at day 0. The results are summarized in Table 12 and depicted in FIG. 12.

In this example, we compared the in vitro potency of four different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins: human FLT3-ligand human hingeless IgG1 fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:1), human FLT3-ligand (Δ5 amino acid) human IgG4 (S228P/F234A/L235A) fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:6), human FLT3-ligand human hingeless IgG1 (M252Y/S254T/T256E) fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:9), or human FLT3-ligand (Δ5 amino acid) human IgG4 (S228P/F234A/L235A/M252Y/S254T/T256E) fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:14). To evaluate the in vitro potency, we employed an AML5 cell proliferation assay. The methods are as described above in Example 5.


Results

These data demonstrated that the potency of the four human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14) in inducing FLT3-dependent proliferation in AML5 cells was similar, with EC50 values ranging between 0.037-0.050 nM. The results are summarized in Table 13 and depicted in FIG. 13.

Example 14
In Vitro Potency of FLT3L-Fc Variants in cDC1 Differentiation Assay

In this example, we compared the in vitro potency of four different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to differentiate human bone marrow CD34+ stem cells into conventional dendritic cell subtype 1 (cDC1).


Methods

96-well flat-bottom tissue culture plates (Falcon, 353072) were coated with recombinant DLL1 (R&D Systems, 1818-DL-050) as follows. DLL1 was reconstituted in PBS to create a stock solution of 500 μg/ml. The stock solution was diluted in DPBS (Corning, 21-030-CV) to a final working concentration of 5 μg/ml, and 100 μl of this was plated into each well. Plates were sealed and placed on a flat surface at 4° C. overnight.


Bone marrow CD34+ stem cells from 13 healthy donors were thawed in a 37° C. water bath and transferred into complete media (Alpha-Mem (Gibco, 12561056), 10% heat-inactivated FCS, lx Pen/Strep). To recover the cells, 20,000 cells per well were plated into a 96-well round bottom tissue culture plate.


The next day, the DLL1 coated plates were washed 3× with DBPS, then 10,000 recovered cells per well were cultured with 20 ng/ml human GM-CSF, 20 ng/ml human SCF, 2.5 ng/ml human IL-4 and various test articles. On day 6, half the media was removed and fresh cytokines and compounds were added to the cells. On day 14, cells were collected. Staining antibodies were then added to the cells and incubated for 30 min at 4° C. Cells were then washed twice with FACS staining buffer and analyzed LSR Fortessa FACS analyzer (BD Bioscience). Raw data were analyzed by FlowJo X (BD Bioscience).


Results

These data demonstrated that the potency of the four human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14) in inducing cDC1 differentiation in vitro from primary human CD34+ bone marrow stem cells was similar, with EC50 values ranging between 0.788-1.252 nM. The results are summarized in Table 14 and depicted in FIG. 14.

In Vitro Potency of FLT3L-Fc Variants in Promoting cDC1 Survival

In this example, we compared the in vitro potency of four different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to enhance the survival of human PBMC-derived conventional dendritic cell subtype 1 (cDC1).


Methods

Sixteen fresh human healthy donor PBMCs were obtained from PPA Research Group Inc. Pan-DCs were isolated from the PBMCs following the manufacturer's protocol for EasySep Human Pan-DC Pre-Enrichment Kit (Stemcell Technologies, Inc, 19251). Pan-DCs were then stained with eBioscience Cell Proliferation Dye efluor 450 (Invitrogen, 65-0842-85) for 8 min in a 37° C. water bath. After staining with the cell proliferation dye, cells were washed 2× and resuspended with complete RPMI. 100,000 cells per well were plated into a 96-well round bottom tissue culture plate and titrations of the compounds were added to the cells for a final volume of 200 ul per well. Plates were sealed with a breathable plate sealer (Breathe Easy Sealing Membrane, Millipore Sigma, Z380059-1Pak) and then incubated for 4 days at 37° C. After incubation, cells were washed with FACS staining buffer and Fc blocked (Human TruStain FcX Biolegend, 422302) for at least 10 min at 4° C. Staining antibodies were then directly added to the cells and incubated for 30 min at 4° C. Cells were then washed twice with FACS staining buffer and analyzed LSR Fortessa FACS analyzer (BD Bioscience). Raw data were analyzed by FlowJo X (BD Bioscience).


Results

The data demonstrated that the potency of the 4 human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14) in enhancing primary human cDC1 survival in vitro was similar, with EC50 values ranging between 0.067-0.102 nM. The results are summarized in Table 15 and depicted in FIG. 15.

In this example, we compared the in vitro binding of four different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to human recombinant FLT3 by ELISA. The methods are as described above in Example 6.


Results

These data demonstrated that binding to human FLT3 receptor was similar among the four human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14), with EC50 values ranged between 0.70 to 0.92 nM. The results are summarized in Table 16 and depicted in FIG. 16.

Results

The data demonstrated that M252Y/S254T/T256E mutations in the human IgG Fc region leads to improved FcRn binding for SEQ ID NOs: 9 and 14, compared to their counterparts without these mutations (SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 6). A 38-fold increase in FcRn binding was observed for Flt3L-Fc in the hingeless IgG1 format (SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 9), compared to a 2-fold increase in the IgG4 format (SEQ ID NOs: 6 and 14). The results are summarized in Table 17 and depicted in FIG. 17.

Ability of FLT3L-Fc Variants to Compete for Binding to Human FcγRI

In this example, we compared the in vitro ability of four different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins to compete for binding of human recombinant FcγRI with a human IgG molecule. To evaluate the ability to compete for binding to FcγRI, we employed an amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay (AlphaScreen® by Perkin Elmer). The methods are as described above in Example 8.


Results

These data demonstrated that none of the 4 human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14) could fully compete with human IgG for binding to FcγRI at the highest concentrations tested. Both the human IgG1 and IgG4 isotype antibody controls demonstrated complete dose-response curves, with the IgG4 isotype showing reduced competition compared to the IgG1. The results are summarized in Table 18 and depicted in FIG. 18.

The results demonstrated that none of the 4 human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14) could fully compete with human IgG for binding to FcγRIIIa (Val176 variant). Only human IgG1 isotype antibody control demonstrated a complete dose-response curve. The results are summarized in Table 19 and depicted in FIG. 19.

Results

These data demonstrated that the four human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14) are devoid of C1q binding ability. Both the human IgG1 and IgG4 isotype controls demonstrated binding to C1q, with the IgG4 isotype showing reduced binding compared to the IgG1.

Single Dose Pharmacokinetics of FLT3L-Fc Variants in Cynomolgus Macaque

In this example, we compared the single dose pharmacokinetics of four different human FLT3-ligand human Fc fusion proteins in Cynomolgus macaque.


Methods

Four FLT3L-Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9, and 14) were administered to cynomologus macaques n=3/group (Covance, Tex.) at 0.5 mg/kg via a single intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) injection to characterize their basic PK profiles. Serial serum samples collected from macaques were analyzed using U-PLEX FLT3L assay (Meso Scale Discovery, MSD) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The calibration curve used the respective individual FLT3-ligand fusion proteins as reference standards in spiked macaque matrix fit to a 4-parameter logistic model with 1/Y2 weighting. Analyte concentrations were determined from the electrochemiluminescence signals back-fitted to the calibration curve. Serum concentration-time profiles were used to calculate the mean±SD serum PK parameters by non-compartmental PK analysis.


Results

Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis demonstrated that all 4 Fc-fusions had IgG-like pharmacokinetics with C1 values range from 4.71-7.74 mL/d/kg (Table 21) following IV administration in cynomologus macaques. Similar pharmacokinetics were observed following subcutaneous administration with bioavailability ranging from 66.8-91.4%. SEQ ID NOs: 9 and 14 containing the M252Y/S254T/T256E modifications had reduced clearance relative to unmodified sequence, consistent with improved FcRn binding. The results are summarized in Table 21 and depicted in FIGS. 21A-21B.

Example 22
Ability of FLT3L-Fc Variants to Promote cDC1 Proliferation in Cynomolgus Macaque

In this example, we compared the ability of four different FLT3L-Fc variants (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14) to induce proliferation and expansion of conventional dendritic cell subtype 1 (cDC1) in Cynomolgus macaque.


Methods

Whole blood samples from cynomolgus macaques administered one of SEQ ID NO: 1, 6, 9, or 14 at day 0 were drawn into Sodium Heparin blood collection tubes at indicated time points. One hundred microliters of each sample were transferred to FACS tubes containing FACS antibodies and Fc blocker. Cells were incubated at room temperature for 20 min, then washed twice with 1×DPBS-CMF. Residual red blood cells were then lysed for 8-12 minutes in the dark at room temperature with 1 mL 1×FACS Lyse (BD Biosciences). After incubation, the samples were centrifuged and washed once by adding 1×DPBS-CMF (1 mL). Samples were then resuspended in 125 μL 1×DPBS-CMF and 100 μL CountBright Beads for acquisition on the Canto FACS analyzer (BD Biosciences). Raw data were analyzed by FlowJo X (BD Bioscience).


Results

These data demonstrated a similar ability of the four human FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins with different Fc variants (SEQ ID: 1, 6, 9, and 14) to expand conventional dendritic cell subtype 1 (cDC1) in peripheral blood of Cynomolgus macaque from day 0 to day 14 after single-dose intravenous or subcutaneous administration. The cDC1 number of each group gradually declined to baseline levels between days 14 to 38 after test article administration, at a rate which paralleled the corresponding decline in serum levels of FLT3-ligand Fc fusion proteins as shown in FIG. 21. These results are depicted in FIGS. 22A-22B.


Example 23
Anti-Tumor Activity of Murine Surrogate FLT3L-Fc Fusion Protein

In this example, we demonstrated the anti-tumor activity of a murine surrogate FLT3L-Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:20) in a mouse tumor model.


Methods

Eight-week old C57Bl/6 mice (Jackson Laboratory) were inoculated with 2.5×105 MC38 cells subcutaneously. Mice were then randomized when tumor volume reached 45-55 mm3 on day 0 and dosed intraperitoneally with SEQ ID NO: 20 or an Fc-silent (N297A) mouse IgG2a isotype control at indicated concentration within the same day. Tumors were measured 3 times a week using calipers. Tumor volumes were calculated using the following equation: (longest diameter*shortest diameter2)/2.


Results

The data demonstrated a dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition of MC38 tumors in C57BL/6 mice after a single-dose intraperitoneal administration by the mouse FLT3-ligand Fc-fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:20) at day 0. Groups dosed with 150 μg/kg, 750 μg/kg and 3750 μg/kg of SEQ ID NO:20 show significantly slower tumor growth rates compared to the isotype control group. The results are summarized in Table 22 and depicted in FIG. 23.

Example 24
Intratumoral and Peripheral Expansion of cDC1 in Tumor Bearing Mice

In this example, we demonstrated the intratumoral and peripheral expansion of conventional dendritic cell subtype 1 (cDC1) in tumor bearing mice by FLT3L-Fc fusion protein using a murine surrogate (SEQ ID NO:20).


Methods

Tumors and spleens were harvested at Day 7 post administration and shipped 0/N at 4° C. in HypoThermosol solution (BioLife Solutions) from the CROs. Tumors and spleens were then dissociated using the gentleMACS Dissociator (Miltenyi Biotec) with heaters, following manufacturer's protocol. After enzymatic digestion, cell suspension was filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer. The remaining tube and strainer were rinsed 1× with 15-20 ml of RPMI and collected with the rest of the sample. Cells were centrifuged at 500×g for 5 min at room temperature. Supernatant was discarded and cells were washed 1× with PBS. Residual red blood cells from spleens were lysed by adding 2 ml of ACK lysis buffer to each sample for 1-2 min at room temperature. FACS staining Buffer (BD Bioscience) was added to the samples to stop the ACK lysis activity. Cells were spun down and washed additionally with PBS. Samples were then stained with Live/Dead Fixable Aqua Dead Cell Stain Kit (ThermoFisher) at 1:750 dilution for 15 min at 4° C. Ten microliters of cells from each sample were taken for count by 123count eBeads (eBiosciences) following manufacturer's protocol. Cells were washed 2× with FACS staining buffer, then Fc blocked for 30 min at 4° C. FACS antibodies (Biolegend) were directly added to the blocked samples and incubated at 4° C. for 30 min without spinning down or washing out the Fc block. Cells were washed 2×, resuspended in Staining Buffer, and analyzed by LSR Fortessa FACS analyzer. Raw data were analyzed by FlowJo X (BD Bioscience).


Results

The results demonstrated a dose-dependent increase of conventional dendritic cell subtype 1 (cDC1) number in tumors (FIG. 24A) or in spleens (FIG. 24B) in the MC38 tumor model after a single-dose intraperitoneal administration by the mouse surrogate FLT3-ligand Fc-fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:20) at day 0. Groups dosed 750 □g/kg and 3750 μg/kg of SEQ ID NO:20 showed a significant increase of cDC1 number in tumors compared to the isotype group, while groups dosed 750 μg/kg and 3750 μg/kg of SEQ ID NO:20 show significant increase of cDC1 number in spleens compared to the isotype group. Similar increase of cDC1 number in tumors and spleens was observed in groups dosed with 750 μg/kg and 3750 μg/kg of SEQ ID NO:20. The results are summarized in Table 23 and depicted in FIG. 24.

Example 25
Sialic Acid Content Evaluation of Eight FLT3L-Fc Variants

In this example, we determined the total sialic acid content of eight Flt3L-Fc constructs. To evaluate sialic acid content, we performed chemical release of sialic acids followed by fluorescence labeling and reversed-phase separation with fluorescence detection.


Methods

Proteins from Flt3L-Fc constructs SEQ ID NOs: 1-8 were diluted to 10 or 50 μg/mL in water. Sialic acids were released by mild acid hydrolysis with acetic acid, separated from the protein by filtration, and fluorescently labeled with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene dihydrochloride (DMB) by a reductive amination reaction. The labeled sialic acid products were then separated by reversed-phase chromatography using a C18 column with fluorescence detection at 373 nm (excitation) and 448 nm (emission). The concentrations of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) and N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (NGNA) present were determined from an identically labeled 6-point standard curve and expressed as a mole to mole ratio of sialic acid to protein content.


Results

The results are summarized in Table 24.

The data obtained for SEQ ID NOs: 1-8 showed similar amounts of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) in each sample, at an average of 15 mol/mol. One exception was noted, in which SEQ ID NO: 7 contained only 8 mol/mol sialic acid. A subtle trend was also observed in which sialic acid content decreased in constructs containing C-terminal truncations of the Flt3L portion of the fusion proteins (constructs SEQ ID NO: 2 and 7 relative to SEQ ID NO:1; constructs SEQ ID NO: 6 and 8 relative to SEQ ID NO: 4), indicating this region contained the majority of sialic acid. Furthering this idea was the observation that N-glycan removal from the ligand domain did not result in a major loss of sialic acid content, shown by comparison of SEQ ID NO: 5 and SEQ ID NO: 1.


Total sialic acid content was shown to have a positive correlation to PK in mAbs and Fc-fusion proteins, consistent with the reporting of, e.g., Li, et al., J Pharm Sci (2015) 104:1866-1884; and Liu, et al., Protein Cell. (2018) 9(1):15-32.


Example 26
Sialic Acid Content Evaluation of Four FLT3L-Fc Variants

In this example, we determined the sialic acid content on the two FLT3L N-glycans at positions 100 and 123 of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9, and 14 (“Asn100” and “Asn123,” respectively).


Methods

Protein digest followed by reversed-phase separation with detection by mass spectrometry was performed.


Following denaturation, reduction and cysteine carboxymethylation, proteins from SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9, and 14 were digested for 6 hours at 37° C. using a 1:10 enzyme:substrate (w:w) ratio of Lys-C and Glu-C Mix. Digestion was then quenched by adding trifluoroacetic acid to 0.1% final concentration. The resulting Lys-C/Glu-C peptides were separated by reverse phase gradient UPLC on a C18 column. The separation of the peptides was monitored at 214 nm prior to elution into the inlet of a Thermo Scientific QE HF Orbitrap mass spectrometer operating in positive, data-dependent acquisition mode. N-glycan peptide assignments were based on matching the observed masses of the intact peptides in the LC/MS analysis to the masses predicted based on a theoretical Lys-C and Glu-C digest of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9, and 14.


Results

The results are presented in Table 25.

2N-glycan occupancy at the two sites was determined by peptide mapping







The molecular masses of the N-glycosylated peptides were consistent with the predicted masses based on the amino acid sequences of the FTL3L-Fc constructs. FTL3L-Fc SEQ ID NOs 1, 6, and 14 contained a consistent level of species with one or more sialic acid unit (43-63%, Table 25). FTL3L-Fc SEQ ID NO: 9 showed a decrease of approximately 10% at Asn 100 and 24% at Asn 123 (Table 25). Ligand N-glycans site occupancy for SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, 9 and 14 was consistent across all four molecules tested and ranged from 61% to 70% across the two sites (Table 25).


The percent of ligand N-glycans species containing at least one sialic acid unit were corrected by the percent occupancy at each site and averaged across the two sites to allow a direct comparison across the constructs (Table 25). After correction and averaging, FTL3L-Fc SEQ ID NOs: 1, 6, and 14 showed a level of overall ligand sialylated N-glycans ranging from 76 to 83%; while FTL3L-Fc SEQ ID NO: 9 showed a lower overall level at 58%.


Example 27
Conformational Stability of FLT3L-Fc Variants

In this example, we evaluated the conformational stability of FLT3L-Fc variants SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 9 and SEQ ID NO: 14.


Each FLT3L-Fc construct was prepared in a matrix of 20 mM sodium phosphate, 9% sucrose, 0.02% PS80 pH 6.5 and loaded into a capillary. Intrinsic fluorescence was measured by a Nano differential scanning fluorimetry (NanoTemper) instrument as the samples were heated from 25-95° C. The ratio of fluorescence signal at 350/330 nm was plotted versus temperature to compare melting profiles of each sample. Duplicate measurements were performed for each construct.


The data obtained for FLT3L-Fc variants SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 8 show similar conformational stability, with onset temperatures (Ton) greater than 55° C. for each FLT3L-Fc variant. FLT3L-Fc SEQ ID NO 3 has a lower Tml compared to the three other IgG4 FLT3L-Fc constructs, indicating that the L235E mutation is slightly destabilizing resulting in lower conformational stability. Results of the IgG1 FLT3L-Fc constructs also show that FLT3L-Fc SEQ ID NO 5 has a decreased Ton and Tml compared with the three other IgG1 constructs (Table 26).


The half-life enhancing YTE mutation lowers the Tml value of FLT3L-Fc variants SEQ ID NOs: 9 and 14. Onset temperatures remain well above physiological temperature despite this shift (Table 26).

FLT3L-Fc and Anti-PD1 Combination Study

In this example, we demonstrated the combined effects of anti-PD1 antibody (clone RMP1-14) and a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein using SEQ ID NO:20 (a murine surrogate) in a syngeneic mouse tumor model.


Methods:

Eight-week old C57BL/6 mice (Jackson Laboratory) were inoculated with 2.5×105 MC38 cells subcutaneously. Mice were then randomized when tumor volume reached 45-55 mm3 on day 0 and dosed intraperitoneally with FTL3L-Fc SEQ ID NO:20, anti-mouse PD-1 (clone RMP1-14) or an isotype control at the indicated concentrations and dosing frequencies. Tumors were measured at least 2 times a week using calipers. Tumor volumes were calculated using the following equation: (longest diameter*shortest diameter2)/2.


Results

The results demonstrated a modest growth inhibition of MC38 tumors in C57BL/6 mice after single agent treatment with either one of the mouse FLT3-ligand Fc-fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:20) or anti-mouse PD-1, while combined treatment with the anti-PD1 antibody (clone RMP1-14) and the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein yielded strong tumor growth inhibition. The results are depicted in FIG. 25.


Example 29
FLT3L-Fc and Anti-CTLA4 Combination Study

In this example, we demonstrated the combined effects of anti-CTLA4 antibody (clone 9D9) and a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein using SEQ ID NO:20 (a murine surrogate) in a syngeneic mouse tumor model.


Methods:

Nine-week old BALB/c mice (Taconic) were inoculated with 8×105 CT26 cells subcutaneously. Mice were then randomized when tumor volume reached 60-70 mm3 on day 0 and dosed intraperitoneally with FTL3L-Fc SEQ ID NO:20, anti-mouse CTLA4 (clone 9D9) or an isotype control at the indicated concentrations and dosing frequencies. Tumors were measured at least 2 times a week using calipers. Tumor volumes were calculated using the following equation: (longest diameter*shortest diameter2)/2.


Results:

The results demonstrated a modest growth inhibition of CT26 tumors in BALB/c mice after single agent treatment with either one of the mouse FLT3-ligand Fc-fusion protein (SEQ ID NO:20) or anti-mouse CTLA4, while combined treatment with the anti-CTLA4 antibody (clone 9D9) and the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein yielded strong tumor growth inhibition. The results are depicted in FIG. 26.


Example 30
Effect of FLT3L on the Immunogenicity of an HBV Vaccine in a Mouse Model of Chronic HBV

We evaluated the potential effect of FLT3L on the immunogenicity of an HBV vaccine in the context of chronic HBV using an Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-HBV mouse model (Dion, et al., J Virol. (2013) 87(10):5554-63; and Yang, et al., Cell Mol Immunol. (2014) 11(1):71-8). Other immunomodulators including antibodies targeting PD-1, CTLA-4 and CD137 were also tested.


Methods

In this model, C57BL/6 mice were transduced with an AAV vector encoding a 1.2× length HBV genome (AAV-HBV mice), resulting in persistent HBV protein and virion production in hepatocytes, accompanied by antigenemia and viremia in serum. AAV-HBV mice were administered 3 doses of an HBV vaccine that is an arenavirus vector expressing HBV antigens including HBsAg, core and polymerase. Mice were treated with saline, mouse FLT3L, anti-mouse inhibitory PD-1, anti-mouse inhibitory CTLA-4 or anti-mouse stimulatory CD137 antibodies. A control group of mice received the HBV vaccine alone but no AAV-HBV to determine how the immunogenicity of the HBV vaccine was affected in the context of chronic HBV. HBV-specific IFN-γ ELISPOT was performed using spleens of all animals at the end of the study (day 105 post first vaccination). A diagram of this AAV-HBV immunogenicity study is shown in FIG. 27 and treatment groups are shown in Table 27. Data are expressed after subtraction of background signal in no-peptide control wells. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney non-parametric test.


Results

IFN-γ ELISPOT responses specific for HBsAg, HBV core and HBV polymerase are summarized in FIGS. 28A-C. Robust ELISPOT responses were observed for all 3 HBV antigens in mice without persistent HBV. In contrast, the ELISPOT responses obtained from AAV-HBV mice that received the HBV vaccine alone were significantly reduced, demonstrating T cell tolerance against the HBV proteins in AAV-HBV mice. In these mice, combined administration of FLT3L and HBV vaccine significantly increased the HBV-specific IFN-γ ELISPOT responses for all 3 HBV antigens. A comparable effect (except for HBV pol-specific responses) was observed with the other immunomodulators anti PD-1, anti CTLA-4 and anti CD137 antibodies although with lower magnitude.

A Phase 1 Study in Healthy Volunteers to Evaluate the SingleDose Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of a FLT3L-Fc Fusion Protein

A study was conducted in healthy volunteeres (HVs) to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of escalating single doses of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14. An exploratory objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) and PK/PD relationships for the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein.


Methods

This was a first-in-human placebo-controlled study of a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in healthy volunteers to evaluate the safety, PK, and PD of escalating single doses (ranging from 75 μg to 2000 μg) of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO: 14). The study was blinded to the subjects and the investigator. Each dose cohort enrolled 8-12 healthy subjects who received the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein or placebo as single IV infusion at 3:1 ratio. Subjects were observed in the Phase 1 unit for 15 days and then for 12 weeks as outpatients. As part of the PD evaluation, the changes in the number of cDC1s and cDC subtype 2 (cDC2) were investigated.


A high-level overview of the study design is described below and shown in FIG. 29A.


Healthy adults of ages 18-45 years were enrolled.


Screened subjects were admitted on Day −1 and confined to the study center until Day 15. Subjects returned for follow-up visits with discharge.


The FLT3L-Fc fusion protein or placebo was administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1. The study treatments within each cohort are shown in Table 28 and the sampling days are shown in FIG. 29B.

Pharmacokinetic Assessments
Serum Pharmacokinetic Collection

Serum concentrations of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein was determined, and PK parameters were estimated. Intensive PK sampling occurred relative to the start time of infusion of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein or placebo at Day 1 at predose (≤30 minutes before start of infusion), end of infusion, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 120, 168, 240, and 336 hours. Additional samples will be collected at Days 21 (±1), 28 (±1), 42 (±1), 56 (±3), and 84 (±3) at the same time of day as start of infusion. An additional sample was collected at the ET visit (if applicable).


PD assessments


PD Biomarkers

Whole blood biomarker samples were collected and PBMCs and plasma were isolated to measure PD biomarkers for the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein on Days −1, 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 15, 21, 28, 42, 56, and 84 relative to the start of infusion. A separate blood sample to determine leukocyte count was drawn at the same time points. Additionally, serum was prepared from whole blood biomarker samples at the following time points:

    • Day −1: single sample
    • Day 1 at predose and 168 and 336 hours after the start of infusion
    • An additional sample was collected at the Day 28 (±1) visit


Results

Safety, PK and PD data from cohorts 1 to 3 were determined. The subject characteristics and PD results for cohorts 1 to 4 are shown in Table 29.

FIG. 29D shows a comparison of cDC1 cell quantitative changes in cohorts 1 to 4. FIG. 29E shows a comparison of cDC2 cell quantitative changes in cohorts 1 to 4. As shown in FIGS. 29D and E, a dose-dependent, transient increase in cDC1 cells and cDC2 cells was observed in healthy volunteers treated with FLT3L-Fc fusion protein.



FIGS. 29F-29G show changes in circulating monocytes over time in cohorts 1 to 4. FIG. 29F shows the number of monocytes over time in cohorts 1 to 4. FIG. 29G shows the percent change from baseline over time in cohorts 1 to 4. As shown in FIGS. 29F-29G, monocyte levels in FLT3L-Fc fusion protein treated healthy volunteeres increase over time with a peak at Day 10 and decline gradually from Day 10 to Day 15.


These results demonstrate that FLT3L-Fc fusion protein was well tolerated. For cohorts 1 to 4, there have been no serious or grade 3 or higher adverse events. Preliminary PK analysis suggested dose-dependent increase in FLT3L-Fc fusion protein exposure (AUC and Cmax). Preliminary PD analysis shows that administration of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein resulted in dose-dependent increases in cDC1/cDC2 cells that peaked between days 5 to 11, with increasingly later peaks occurring at higher doses, and returned to baseline within three weeks of drug administration.


Conclusions

FLT3L-Fc fusion protein single doses of up to 2,000 μg were well tolerated and there were no SAEs, deaths, or discontinuations due to AEs. FLT3L-Fc fusion protein induced dose dependent expansion of dendritic cells in the periphery. In patients with cancer, this increase in dendritic cells can be utilized to enhance anti-tumor immune responses to immuno-oncology therapies.

A Phase 1b Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of a FLT3L-Fc Fusion Protein in Subjects with Advanced Solid Tumors

A phase 1b, open-label, multicenter, dose-finding study was conducted to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of aFLT3L-Fc fusion protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 14 as monotherapy in subjects with advanced solid tumors. The study also determined the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO: 14) as monotherapy in subjects with advanced solid tumors.


Methods Summary

Approximately 33 adults aged 18 years with a histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumor that is refractory to or intolerant of standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available will be enrolled. The study employs a 3+3 dose escalation design in which FLT3L-Fc fusion protein is administered intravenously for up to 52 weeks or until progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. Up to five dose escalation cohorts have been planned. The MTD is the highest dose with incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in <33% of 6 or more patients in the first 28 days of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein dosing; RP2D will be determined.


Study Design

This is an open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in subjects with advanced solid tumors to determine the MTD or RP2D level of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein as monotherapy. An overview of the study design is shown in FIG. 30A.


The study consists of a standard 3+3 dose escalation scheme with the following proposed escalating dose levels and schedules of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein: 675 μg, 2000 μg, 6,000 μg, 12,000 μg, and 20,000 μg administered on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each subsequent 4-week/28-day cycle.

Dose Escalation

Subjects with advanced solid tumors who have failed or are intolerant to standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy exists will be sequentially enrolled at progressively higher dose levels to receive FLT3L-Fc fusion protein as monotherapy.


Dose escalation will proceed using a standard 3+3 design as shown in FIG. 30B. The starting dose will be 675 μg and may be modified if the results of the Phase 1a healthy volunteer study (Study GS-US-496-5619) are available prior to the initiation of this study. Subsequent doses of 2000 μg, 6000 μg, 12,000 μg, and 20,000 μg are planned. Dose level increases will be 3-fold or less (Table 31). FLT3L-Fc fusion protein will be administered on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each subsequent 4-week/28-day cycle for up to 52 weeks or until the subject meets study treatment discontinuation criteria.

DLTs will be assessed during the first 28 days of therapy at each dose level. Dose escalation will occur if no subjects experience a DLT. If 1 subject experiences a DLT, an additional 3 subjects will be enrolled. If 2 subjects experience a DLT, dose de-escalation will occur. A minimum of 6 subjects need to be treated at a dose level before the dose can be deemed as the MTD.


Dose Escalation Criteria

For any given cohort, the sponsor may elect to hold dosing, select an intermediate dose, or stop study enrollment at any time based on review of the preliminary safety data.


Based on review of relevant safety and PK data by the SRT (safety review team) and in discussion with the investigator, escalation to a higher dose will occur only in the absence of DLTs and/or meeting any prespecified stopping criteria.

Dosing and Administration of FLT3L-Fc Fusion Protein

FLT3L-Fc fusion protein will be administered as an IV infusion over 60 (±10) minutes. The proposed dose and the dosing frequency of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein are 675 μg, 2000 μg, 6000 μg, 12,000 μg, and 20,000 μg administered on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and on Day 1 of each subsequent 4-week/28-day cycle.


Premedications should not be administered routinely prior to dosing of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein unless a previous infusion reaction occurred. Refer to Treatment of Infusion-Related Reactions section and Table 32 for subsequent premedication recommendations following FLT3L-Fc fusion protein-related infusion reactions.


FLT3L-Fc fusion protein should be administered IV over approximately 60 minutes (±10 minutes) at the research clinic by a qualified staff member. Infusions will be followed immediately with a saline flush of the IV line, per institutional guidelines. Modifications of the infusion rate due to infusion-related reactions are described in the Treatment of Infusion-Related Reactions section and Table 32. The study drug will be administered without regard to food.


Subjects receiving FLT3L-Fc fusion protein should be monitored for infusion-related reactions. This includes the measurement of vital signs prior to each infusion commencing and at the end of each infusion. For the first 2 doses during Cycle 1, vital signs will be measured 1 hour (±15 minutes) after the end of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein infusion. Thereafter in subsequent cycles, the post-treatment vital signs can be taken 30 minutes (−10/+20 minutes) after the end of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein infusion. Subjects will remain in the clinic under close supervision for the duration of this monitoring period.


Dose Modifications and Treatment Delay
Dose Modifications

Intrasubject dose reduction of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein is not permitted; the need for a dose reduction is considered a DLT, and the subject will be discontinued from treatment. Intrasubject dose escalation of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein may be permitted once the MTD has been determined, at investigator's discretion.


Treatment Delay

Study treatment may be delayed due to any AE, laboratory abnormality, or intercurrent illness which, in the judgment of the investigator, warrants a delay.


Subjects who have drug-related toxicities that meet the criteria for dose delay should have study drug treatment delayed until criteria to resume treatment are met. Subjects who fail to receive 3 or more consecutive doses of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein due to treatment delay will be discontinued from the study unless agreed otherwise with the sponsor medical monitor.


Treatment of Infusion-Related Reactions

Subjects receiving FLT3L-Fc fusion protein should be monitored for infusion-related reactions. This includes the measurement of vital signs prior to each infusion commencing and at the end of each infusion. For the first 2 doses during Cycle 1, vital signs will be measured 1 hour (±15 minutes) after the end of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein infusion. Thereafter in subsequent cycles, the post-treatment vital signs can be taken 30 minutes (−10\+20 minutes) after the end of the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein infusion. Subjects will remain in the clinic under close supervision for the duration of this monitoring period. Subjects with mild or moderate infusion-related reactions may receive FLT3L-Fc fusion protein with close monitoring.


Premedication with an antipyretic or antihistamine for subsequent treatment administration may be considered. For severe infusion-related reactions, FLT3L-Fc fusion protein infusion must be discontinued, and appropriate medical therapy should be administered (Table 32).

Subjects who do not experience any infusion-related reactions of Grade 1 or higher during or after the infusion may be released from monitoring after 1 hour if they are otherwise stable. Subjects with any infusion-related reactions must be managed as per the guidelines in Table 32, and monitoring will continue until any infusion-related reactions have abated to less than Grade 1 and at least 1 hour has passed from the completion of the entire infusion and flushing the line.


Acute infusion-related reactions (which can include cytokine release syndrome, angioedema, or anaphylaxis) are different from allergic/hypersensitive reactions, although some of the manifestations are common to both AEs. Signs and symptoms usually develop during or shortly after drug infusion and generally resolve completely within 24 hours of completion of infusion. Signs/symptoms may include allergic reaction/hypersensitivity (including drug fever); arthralgia (joint pain); bronchospasm; cough; dizziness; dyspnea (shortness of breath); fatigue (asthenia, lethargy, malaise); headache; hypertension; hypotension; myalgia (muscle pain); nausea; pruritus/itching; rash/desquamation; rigors/chills; sweating (diaphoresis); tachycardia; tumor pain (onset or exacerbation of tumor pain due to treatment); urticaria (hives, welts, wheals); and vomiting.


Table 32 shows treatment guidelines for subjects who experience an infusion-related reaction associated with administration of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein. For individual subjects, once the FLT3L-Fc fusion protein infusion rate has been decreased by 50% or interrupted due to an infusion-related reaction, it must remain decreased for all subsequent infusions for that subject. If the subject has a second infusion related reaction that is Grade≥2 at the slower infusion rate, then infusion should be stopped, and the subject should permanently discontinue treatment. If a subject experiences a Grade 3 or Grade 4 infusion-related reaction at any time, the subject must permanently discontinue treatment (Table 32). If an infusion-related reaction occurs, all details about drug preparation and infusion must be recorded.


Clinically significant, abnormal 12-lead safety electrocardiograms (ECGs) should be repeated. Subjects who have 2 consecutive ECGs showing a new absolute QTcF duration>500 ms, or a QTc>60 ms over the corresponding baseline value must discontinue any medications that could prolong the QT interval. Subject's concomitant medications should be reviewed to determine a potential etiology for the ECG changes. Appropriate intervention (ie, cardiology evaluation, telemetry monitoring, management of electrolyte abnormalities) in response to treatmentemergent QT interval prolongation should be initiated.


Should infusion-related reactions be considered a significant safety issue by the SRT, the SRT may decide to recommend premedication with an antihistamine and acetaminophen approximately 30 to 60 minutes before each dose of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein (eg, 25-50 mg diphenhydramine, 500-1000 mg acetaminophen or equivalent dose of antipyretic). This regimen may be modified based on local treatment standards and guidelines, as appropriate.


All subjects will be given information on and instructions regarding both infusion-related reactions (which are expected to be most likely in the hour after completion of the infusion) and adverse events with a potential immunologic etiology (irAEs) before leaving the study site.


Criteria to Resume Treatment

Subjects may resume treatment with FLT3L-Fc fusion protein when drug-related AE(s) resolve(s) to Grade 1 or baseline value, with the following clarifications and certain exceptions:

    • Subjects may resume treatment in the presence of Grade 2 fatigue.
    • Subjects with combined drug-related elevations in AST or ALT>3×ULN and total bilirubin>2×ULN for longer than 7 days should have their treatment
    • permanently discontinued.
    • Drug-related Grade 2 pulmonary toxicity or colitis must have resolved to baseline before treatment is resumed.
    • Drug-related endocrinopathies adequately controlled with only physiologic hormone
    • replacement may resume treatment. (Exception: Study treatment does not need to be delayed/interrupted for subjects who experience immune-related hypothyroidism [Grades 1-2].)
    • Subjects who received systemic corticosteroids for management of any drug-related toxicity must be off corticosteroids or have tapered down to an equivalent dose of prednisone≤10 mg/day.


Study Discontinuation Criteria

A subject will be discontinued from the study for any of the following reasons:

    • Withdrawal of consent
    • Investigator's discretion
    • Death
    • Lost to follow-up
    • Discontinuation of the study at the request of sponsor, a regulatory agency, or an institutional review board (IRB) or independent ethics committee (IEC)


Permanent Treatment Discontinuation Due to Adverse Events

Study drug treatment must be discontinued for drug-related AEs described in Table 33.

Treatment Beyond Initial Progressive Disease

Subjects who experience initial radiologic progressive disease and are clinically worsened will discontinue study drug treatment and no further imaging is required.


Subjects who experience initial radiologic progressive disease but improve clinically are considered to have initial RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease and will be permitted, with sponsor's approval, to continue with study drug treatment. These subjects will be reevaluated using the same imaging modality no less than 4 weeks later (after the last imaging with initial RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease) to assess whether study drug treatment will be continued. To continue study drug treatment beyond initial RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease, they must meet all the following criteria:

    • There is investigator-assessed clinical benefit from the study drug treatment
    • Subject is clinically stable
    • Subject is tolerating study drug, and
    • There is an agreement with sponsor


The assessment of clinical benefit should take into account whether the subject is clinically deteriorating and unlikely to receive further benefit from continued study drug treatment. The following criteria need to be taken into consideration:

    • Absence of clinical symptoms and signs (including worsening of laboratory values) indicating progressive disease,
    • No decline in ECOG performance status attributed to underlying malignancy, and
    • Absence of rapid progression of disease or of progressive tumor at critical anatomical sites (eg, spinal cord compression) requiring urgent alternative medical intervention.


End of Study

End of study will be defined as when the last subject reaches the last scheduled follow-up time point (including the 60-day follow-up or survival follow-up, whichever occurs the latest), or is lost to follow-up, withdraws from the study, death, or the time at which the sponsor closes the study.


Poststudy Care

Upon discontinuation from study treatment, subjects will receive the care upon which they and their physician(s) agree. Subjects will be followed for survival and AEs as specified in the Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events described below.


Adverse Events

Following initiation of study medication, collect all AEs, regardless of cause or relationship, until 60 days after the last administration of study drug and report them on the eCRFs as instructed.


All AEs should be followed until resolution or until the AE is stable, if possible. Sponsor may request that certain AEs be followed beyond the protocol-defined follow-up period


Serious Adverse Events

All SAEs, regardless of cause or relationship, that occur after the subject first consents to participate in the study (i.e., signing the ICF) and throughout the duration of the study, including the 60-day follow-up visit, must be reported on the applicable electronic case report forms (eCRFs) and sponsor as instructed below in this section. This also includes any SAEs resulting from protocol-associated procedures performed after the informed consent form is signed.


Any SAEs and deaths that occur within 60 days of the last dose of study drug, regardless of causality, should also be reported.


Investigators are not obligated to actively seek SAEs after the 60-day follow-up visit; however, if the investigator learns of any SAEs that occur after the protocol-defined follow-up period has concluded and the event is deemed relevant to the use of study drug, the investigator should promptly document and report the event to sponsor.


All new malignancies, other than which was being studied during treatment with FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, that occur during the study or the posttreatment/survival follow-up period up to 1 year after the completion/discontinuation of lesion tumor assessments will be deemed medically important and reported as an SAE.


Subject Population

This study will enroll approximately 33 subjects with advanced solid tumors.


A subject who fails to receive all FLT3L-Fc fusion protein treatments or fails to complete all safety assessments in the DLT period for reasons other than DLT will be replaced.


Key Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for participation in this study:

    • a. Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic malignant solid tumor that is refractory to or intolerant of standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available

    • f. Active or history of autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment within 2 years of the start of study treatment


Rationale for the Study

The therapeutic hypothesis of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein is that FLT3 agonism will convert cold, uninflamed tumors into warm and hot, T-cell inflamed tumors. Cold tumors are not sensitive to PD-L1 blockade; however, FLT3L-Fc fusion protein treatment is expected to enhance the efficacy of PD-L1 blockade due to the resulting T-cell infiltration into the tumor in response to DC recruitment and expansion of intratumoral DCs. The current study GS-US-496-5657 is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein given as a monotherapy and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The study will also explore the PK and PK-PD relationship as evaluated by peripheral DC expansion. Once the MTD of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein has been determined, future studies will explore the combination of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein with other agents.


Rationale for Dose Selection of FLT3L-Fc Fusion Protein

Selection of the starting dose in this study (675m) is supported by the PK/PD assessment of the published CDX-301 data and the exposure-response relationship for FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in cynomolgus monkeys indicating that the proposed starting dose of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein is predicted to have negligible biological activity (myeloid DC expansion). The starting dose is further supported by the favorable safety of the recombinant FLT3 ligand, CDX-301, in a Phase 1 multiple-dose, dose-ranging study previously conducted in HVs (Anandasabapathy, et al., Bone Marrow Transplant (2015) 50(7):924-30). Based on the current PK/PD-guided predictions and the published dose-response data of CDX-301 and the exposure-response relationship for FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in cynomolgus monkeys (in terms of cDC1 expansion), FLT3L-Fc fusion protein doses of 2000m may induce cDC1 expansion at therapeutically relevant levels and doses of up to 20,000m administered every 4 weeks may help sustain the peak expansion of cDC1 before returning to the baseline. A 4-week dosing interval may be suitable for testing the concept of clinical efficacy in patients with solid tumors.


The nonclinical safety profile of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein has been characterized in a 4-week GLP IV repeatdose toxicity study with 4-week recovery period in cynomolgus monkeys. FLT3L-Fc fusion protein was well tolerated when given IV at dosages of up to 10 mg/kg/week for 4 weeks. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) in the cynomolgus toxicity study was determined to be 10 mg/kg/week, corresponding to an average Cmax of 385 μg/mL and AUCtau of 40,100 μg·h/mL on Day 22.


On a mg/kg basis, the starting dose of 675 μg FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in the present study represents a 900-fold safety margin relative to the NOAEL in cynomolgus monkeys. Based on the current PK projections, FLT3L-Fc fusion protein 675 μg multiple doses are predicted to result in Cmax of 267 ng/mL and AUCtau of 9494 ngh/mL in humans, which correspond to approximately 1440- and 4224-fold safety margins, respectively, relative to the Cmax and AUCtau of the 10 mg/kg NOAEL dose in cynomolgus monkeys.


The proposed starting dose, dose levels, and dosing frequency of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in the current study may be adjusted based on data from the first-in-human study in healthy volunteers (Example 31). The starting dose of the current study may be adjusted such that any dose level that is found to be well tolerated in healthy volunteers will not be repeated.


The recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) to be evaluated in Phase 2 will be selected based on all relevant clinical data from all subjects treated in Phase 1b dose escalation, will consider toxicities through 28 days of dosing, and will not exceed the MTD.


Risk/Benefit Assessment for the Study

The proposed Phase 1b dose escalation study aims to evaluate FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in patients with advanced malignancies as a single agent to evaluate safety and to determine the MTD. Nonclinical investigations provide sufficient evidence that patients with advanced solid tumors administered FLT3L-Fc fusion protein would not be exposed to unjustifiable risks.


Based on the nonclinical safety profile of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, the anticipated risks in patients will be related to FLT3 agonism and may include expansion of cDC1 and cDC2 cell populations, peripheral monocytes, lymphocytes, total white blood cells, neutrophils, and eosinophils to a lesser degree. There may also be changes in serum cytokine changes that could reflect the change in dendritic cell populations; however, this is unlikely to lead to acute release of cytokines or cytokine storm which has not been observed in cynomolgus monkeys, the most sensitive species in the nonclinical toxicology studies.


There is postulated risk of developing secondary hematological malignancies with FLT3 activation, based on the observation that aberrant expression of FLT3 is commonly found in hematopoietic malignancies, in particular, acute myeloid leukemia. In most cases, this is due to activating mutations in the FLT3 gene that promote ligand-independent continuous signaling. This theoretical risk has been mitigated by limiting the exposure of patients to FLT3L-Fc fusion protein to 12 months. Moreover, the related recombinant FLT3L (CDX-301) has safely been administered to more than 500 subjects, including over 300 patients for up to 6 months with cancer with no report of secondary leukemia development. There is also theoretical risk of immune related adverse events (irAEs) with agents that modulate the immune system and therefore, any subjects with a history of active autoimmune diseases will be excluded from the study. Some subjects may receive FLT3L-Fc fusion protein alongside SBRT at the discretion of the investigator in line with the local protocol. The recombinant FLT3L (CDX-301) has been administered in combination with SBRT in patients with non-small cell lung cancer; this combination has been well tolerated.


Participants may develop ADAs to FLT3L-Fc fusion protein which may interfere with the physiological actions of endogenous FLT3L. Patients will be monitored for the development of ADAs and any potential sequalae throughout their treatment period with FLT3L-Fc fusion protein and at the end of study.


There may be no direct benefit to subjects participating in this study; however, data from this study will support further development of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein for the treatment of subjects with advanced solid tumors.


Based on available information, the benefit/risk balance for this study is considered justifiable.


Pharmacokinetic Assessments
Pharmacokinetic Parameters

FLT3L-Fc fusion protein concentrations will be determined by a validated method. The PK parameters to be estimated and reported may include, but may not be limited to, Cmax, AUCtau, Ctrough, Tmax and CL. Unresolved missing data may be imputed when analysis integrity is affected. The conservative principle will be used for data imputation. Noncompartmental techniques will be used to analyze the PK. Compartmental modeling (eg, population PK) analysis may be conducted.


PK Sample Collection

Blood sample collection for FLT3L-Fc fusion protein PK characterization will be conducted throughout the study. The time for collection of PK blood draws should always be referenced from the start of the infusion. It is important to record all infusion start dates/times, infusion end dates/times, infusion interruption(s) start and end dates/times, infusion flush end dates/times, and blood sample collection dates/times completely and accurately (and to the nearest minute).


At Cycles 1 and 3, blood will be collected at predose (<30 minutes before start of infusion), end of infusion (+5 minutes), and 2 hours (±10 minutes), 6 hours (±0.5 hours), Day 2 (24 hours [±2 hours]), Day 3 (48 hours [±4 hours]), Day 5 (96 hours [±4 hours]), Day 8 (168 hours [±12 hours]), Day 15 (For Cycle 1: pre-Day 15 dose [<30 minutes before start of infusion], end of Day 15 infusion (+5 minutes), and 2 hours post start of Day 15 infusion (±10 minutes); for Cycle 3: 336 hours [±12 hours]), and Day 24 (552 hours [±12 hours]) post start of the Day 1 infusion (FIG. 30C).


In addition, samples will be collected on Day 1 (predose), and Day 15 (336 hours) of Cycles 2, 4, and every subsequent even numbered cycle thereafter, and at the 60-day follow-up visit (approximately 60 days after last dose). An additional blood sample will be collected at the EOT visit if a subject terminates early from study treatment.


Biomarker Assessments
Biomarker Sample Collection

Blood samples will be collected to assess pharmacodynamic responses, immunological response to FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, and correlates of clinical efficacy and/or safety. Samples will include:

    • Whole Blood for PD Biomarkers (PBMC and Plasma):
      • Day 1 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 3 at predose, Day 8 (168 hours [±12 hours]), Day 15 (336 hours [±12 hours], must be collected predose at Cycle 1), and Day 24 (552 hours [±12 hours]) post start of the Day 1 infusion. The predose samples will be collected any time prior to the start of infusion at the Day 1 visit. However, for Cycle 1 Day 1, an additional set of predose samples should be collected up to 72 hours prior to the Cycle 1 Day 1 visit, if feasible.
      • Predose on Day 1, and Day 15 (336 hours [±12 hours]) post start of the Day 1 infusion of Cycles 2, 4, and every subsequent even numbered cycle thereafter
      • End of treatment (for subjects that terminate early from study treatment only)
      • 60-day follow-up visit (approximately 60 days after last dose)
      • Two 10 ml samples will be collected at all time points except on Days 8 and 24 in Cycles 1 and 3, when only one sample of 10 ml will be collected.
    • Whole Blood for Leukocyte Count: at the same time points as the PD Biomarkers (PBMC and plasma) samples above
    • Whole Blood sample for CHIP mutation analysis: at Screening; anytime on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, and every subsequent even cycle; and EOT
    • Whole Blood sample for TCR sequencing: anytime on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, and every subsequent even numbered cycle; and EOT
    • Whole Blood for assessing Circulating Tumor DNA: at Screening; anytime on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, and every subsequent even cycle; and EOT
    • Whole Blood Paxgene RNA: at predose on Day 1 and Day 15 of Cycle 1, predose on Day 1 of Cycle 2, predose on Day 1 of Cycle 3, any time on Day 15 of Cycle 3, and predose on Day 1 at every subsequent even numbered cycle; and EOT
    • Serum PD for Circulating Factors: at predose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2 and 3; Days 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3; Day 24 of Cycle 1; and EOT Stool Sample for Microbiome Sequencing: at predose on Day 1 of Cycles 1
    • and 3, and EOT. Subjects will collect a sample up to 72 hours prior to the study visit and be reminded to bring in the sample upon their arrival to the clinic.
    • Whole Blood for Optional Genomic analysis: preferable to collect at predose on Cycle 1 Day 1, but any other time point during the course of the study is also acceptable
    • Archival tumor tissue biopsy collected at screening for evaluation of tumor mutations, if available.
    • Optional fresh pre-treatment, on-treatment, and EOT tumor tissue biopsies to assess tumor PD. If archival tumor tissue is not available or insufficient, collection of the optional fresh pre-treatment tumor biopsy is preferred. Optional fresh on-treatment and end of treatment (progressive disease) tumor biopsies will only be collected if a recent pre-treatment tumor biopsy not older than 6 months (recent archival tumor biopsy or optional fresh tumor biopsy) was collected.
    • Optional biopsies are requested from subjects with accessible disease and should be core needle or excision biopsies.
      • The pre-treatment biopsy can be obtained any time after the last line of therapy and prior to the first dose of study drug.
      • The on-treatment biopsy can be obtained any time after start of Cycle 2, but strongly preferred between Day 15 of Cycles 2 and 4 after completion of radiographic imaging.
      • The EOT biopsy will be collected at progression only for subjects with progressive disease.


Immunogenicity Assessments

The immunogenicity assessments will be conducted to detect and measure antidrug antibody (ADA) against FLT3L-Fc fusion protein. Subjects will have ADA assessed at predose (<30 minutes before start of infusion) on Day 1 of Cycle 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 13; and at 60-day follow-up visit (60 days after last dose). An additional blood sample will be collected at the EOT visit if a subject terminates early from study treatment.


Efficacy Assessments
Response Assessment

Response assessment will be performed according to RECIST 1.1 (Eisenhauer, et al., Eur J Cancer (2009) 45(2):228-47).


For all subjects, tumor response assessment will be performed by CT scan with contrast or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest/abdomen/pelvis (plus other regions as required for specific tumor types). All scans performed at baseline and other imaging performed as clinically required (other supportive imaging) will be repeated at subsequent visits. In general, lesions detected at baseline should be followed using the same imaging methodology and preferably the same imaging equipment at subsequent tumor evaluation visits.


For each subject, the investigator will designate 1 or more of the following measures of tumor status to follow for determining response: CT or MRI images of primary and/or metastatic tumor masses, physical examination findings, and results of other assessments. All available images collected during the study period will be considered. The most appropriate measures to evaluate a subject's tumor status should be used. Measure(s) chosen for sequential evaluation during the study must correspond to measures used to document progressive tumor status that qualifies the subject for enrollment.


Subjects who experience initial radiologic progressive disease and are doing well clinically are considered to have initial RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease and will be permitted, with sponsor's approval, to continue with study drug treatment. These subjects will be reevaluated using the same imaging modality no less than 4 weeks later (after the last imaging with initial RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease) to assess whether study drug treatment will be continued. If initial progression is based on occurrence of a new lesion in an area not scanned at baseline, an on-study scan no less than 4 weeks from initial observation of new lesion should be considered before performing the end of treatment visit.


Tumor responses to treatment will be assigned based on evaluation of response of target, nontarget, and new lesions according to RECIST 1.1 (all measurements should be recorded in metric notation; see Eisenhauer, et al., Eur J Cancer (2009) 45(2):228-47. To assess objective response, tumor burden at baseline will be estimated and used for comparison with subsequent measurements. At baseline, tumor lesions will be categorized in target and non-target lesions as described in Eisenhauer, et al., Eur J Cancer (2009) 45(2):228-47.


Results for these evaluations will be recorded with as much specificity as possible so that pretreatment and post-treatment results will provide the best opportunity for evaluating tumor response.


Any complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) should be confirmed by CT or MRI scan as described in Eisenhauer, et al., Eur J Cancer (2009) 45(2):228-47 no less than 4 weeks after initial assessment.


The investigator may perform scans in addition to a scheduled study scan for medical reasons or if progressive disease is suspected.


Subjects who may receive SBRT at investigator's decision will not have their designated target lesion (per RECIST 1.1) subjected to SBRT.


Tumor Assessments
Tissue Collection

Tumor tissue for biomarker analysis will be collected at the time of screening from an archival tumor biopsy, obtained preferably either at the time of or after the diagnosis of advanced disease has been made, and from a site not previously irradiated.


If a tumor biopsy was obtained from a target lesion during eligibility assessment, it is preferred that a new baseline scan be obtained.


Additional tissue may be collected for subjects who consent to the optional fresh tumor tissue biopsies.


If a subject signs the consent for the optional fresh tumor biopsies, one will be collected pre-treatment (if archival tumor tissue is not available), on-treatment any time after the start of Cycle 2, but strongly preferred between Day 15 of Cycles 2 and 4 after completion of radiographic imaging, and at the time of progressive disease, if clinically applicable and feasible. These biopsies will be used for exploratory assessment of pharmacodynamics.


Optional fresh on-treatment and end of treatment (progressive disease) tumor biopsies will only be collected if a pre-treatment tumor biopsy (archival or fresh) was collected.


For additional details and instructions regarding tissue requirements, collection, storage, and shipment, refer to the study laboratory manual.


Tumor Imaging

Investigator-assessed imaging will be performed at defined time points. The initial tumor imaging to establish baseline disease will be performed ≤28 days prior to first dose of study drug. Scans performed as part of routine clinical management are acceptable for use as screening scan if they are of diagnostic quality and ≤28 days prior to first dose of study drug. On-study imaging as listed in Table 35 will be performed as specified below and in FIG. 30D.

The timing of on-study treatment imaging should follow study calendar days starting from Cycle 1 Day 1 and should not be adjusted for delays in treatment administration or for visits. The same imaging technique should be used in a subject throughout the study. In general, lesions detected at baseline should be followed using the same imaging methodology and preferably the same imaging equipment at subsequent tumor evaluation visits. The investigator may perform scans in addition to a scheduled study scan for medical reasons or if progressive disease is suspected.


For subjects who permanently discontinued all study drug(s) in the absence of progressive disease (e.g., experienced unexpected toxicity) and/or start of new anticancer therapy, CT or MRI imaging should continue to be performed at the predefined schedule, until documented progressive disease, initiation of a new anticancer therapy other than the study treatment, or up to 1 year after the last dose of study drug, whichever occurs first; and then move into survival follow-up for up to 1 year after the completion/discontinuation of tumor lesion assessments.


For subjects who permanently discontinue from the study in the absence of progressive disease/or start of a new line of anticancer therapy and will not be continuing tumor imaging during the posttreatment period (ie, withdrew consent), additional imaging is recommended at the EOT visit if the last imaging was performed more than 30 days prior.


For subjects that met progressive disease clinically, subjects will continue tumor imaging until progressive disease is confirmed radiographically or prior to the start of a new line of anticancer therapy.

FLT3L-Fc fusion protein treatment resulted in expansions of cDC1 and cDC2 at all 3 doses (Table 39); a dose-dependent trend in the magnitude and the durability of cDC expansion was observed. cDC1 and cDC2 in all 3 subjects of the 12-mg dose level showed continuous increases over time with repeated dosing up to C2D1 (FIGS. 32A-D). Two of the 3 subjects in the 12-mg dose level had >50-fold increases in cDC1 cells by C2D1. cDC1 and cDC2 expansions were higher in magnitude and more durable with increasing dose levels (FIGS. 32B and D and 33A-D). At the highest dose evaluated, FLT3L-Fc fusion protein produced ≥100-fold expansion of both cDC1 and cDC2 at multiple time points. Dose escalation on the study is still ongoing.

Example 33
A Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Novel Treatment Combinations in Patients with Lung Cancer: Patients with Disease Progression after Receiving Systemic Treatment for Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a combination treatment regimen comprising sacituzumab govitecan and a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein for participants with advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) or metastatic NSCLC (mNSCLC) with progression on or recurrence after platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy, received either in combination or sequentially. Participants with EGFR, ALK, or any other known actionable genomic alterations must have also received treatment with at least 1 approved tyrosine kinase inhibitor appropriate to the genomic alteration.


Study Design Overview

This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, randomized, controlled study to evaluate novel treatment combinations in patients with lung cancer, specifically, participants with advanced NSCLC or mNSCLC who progressed on or after receiving platinum-based chemotherapy in combination or sequentially with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. This study consists of a preliminary stage and an expansion stage. In the preliminary stage, an experimental treatment arm (e.g., combination treatment arm comprising sacituzumab govitecan and a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO: 14)) is compared to the historical standard of care benchmark and not directly to each other within the study. In the expansion stage, an investigational treatment arm (e.g., combination treatment arm) is compared to the comparator arm (e.g., sacituzumab govitecan only) of the study. During the preliminary stage, approximately 23 participants are enrolled in the treatment arm. The decision to proceed with the expansion stage is based on the results of clinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability data analysis, as well as the overall landscape at the time of expansion. The ultimate decision to proceed to expansion stage is at sponsor's discretion. If the treatment arm has minimal clinical activity or unacceptable toxicity, the study will not proceed to the expansion stage. Additional participants may be enrolled to ensure adequate enrollment in the treatment arm with respect to study demographics and participant characteristics, such as predictive biomarkers, to facilitate subgroup analyses. Participants receive study treatment until progressive disease as assessed by the investigator, unacceptable toxicity, death, or another treatment discontinuation criterion is met.


Objectives

The primary objective is to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) assessed per RECIST version 1.1.


The secondary objectives are (a) to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment combination; and (b) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the treatment combination.


Exploratory objectives are (a) to evaluate biomarkers in blood and tumor biopsy samples, as applicable to treatment; (b) to explore biomarkers that may predict response/resistance to therapy; and (c) to characterize the pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity, as applicable.


Endpoints

The primary endpoint is the objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR and PR require confirmation at least 4 weeks after the first detection of response and as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1.


The secondary endpoints are:

    • Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the date of randomization until disease progression (PD), as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1 or death, whichever comes first.
    • Duration of response (DOR), defined as the time from the first response (CR or PR) until the first documented PD, as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST version 1.1 or death, whichever comes first.
    • Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from the date of randomization until death from any cause.
    • The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), treatment-related adverse events and laboratory abnormalities.


Exploratory endpoints are:

    • Change in biomarkers in response to treatment
    • Correlation of clinical response with biomarkers at baseline and/or on treatment/progression
    • Peak and trough concentrations over time and antidrug antibodies over time


Dosing and Administration

During the preliminary stage, participants are administered a combination of a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO: 14) and sacituzumab govitecan (e.g., combination arm). During the expansion stage, participants are administered sacituzumab govitecan (e.g., comparator arm) or a combination of a FLT3L-Fc fusion protein (SEQ ID NO: 14) and sacituzumab govitecan (e.g., combination arm). For the comparator arm, patients are infused with sacituzumab govitecan at a dose of 10 mg/kg. For the combination arm, participants are administered FLT3L-Fc fusion protein intravenously over 60 (±10) minutes at a dose of 12,000 μg, followed by a 30-60-minute observation period, followed by an infusion of sacituzumab govitecan at a dose of 10 mg/kg. For both arms, the first infusion of sacituzumab govitecan on cycle 1, day 1 (C1D1) is over 3 hours. For both arms, subsequent infusions of sacituzumab govitecan may be administered over 60-120 (±5) minutes followed by a 30-minute observation period. For the comparator arm, sacituzumab is administered on days 1 and 8. For the combination arm, FLT3L-Fc fusion protein is administered on day 1 and sacituzumab is administered on days 1 and 8. Treatment with FLT3L-Fc fusion protein may continue for up to 8 treatment cycles. For both arms, Participants may be infused with sacituzumab govetican until PD or unacceptable toxicity.


Sacituzumab Govitecan Dose Modifications and Treatment Delays

The major toxicities of sacituzumab govitecan are expected to be GI symptoms and neutropenia. Table 37 summarizes recommendations for sacituzumab govitecan dose reductions and discontinuations for treatment-related toxicities.


Sacituzumab govitecan dose reductions and interruptions are managed based on toxicity severity. Leukopenia or lymphopenia in the absence of neutropenia does not require dose modification. The sacituzumab govitecan dose must not be re-escalated following a dose reduction. The sacituzumab govitecan treatment must be discontinued if there is a 3-week dose delay from the planned treatment date due to treatment-related toxicity or 5-week dose delay for all other reasons.


In cases where the toxicity is attributed to the combination partner only, reinitiation of sacituzumab govitecan as a monotherapy may be considered after communication with and agreement by the sponsor.

If diarrhea is not resolved after 24 hours, consider adding diphenoxylate/atropine. Consider adding octreotide 100 to 150 mcg subcutaneous 3 times per day if diarrhea persists.






Sacituzumab govitecan is administered in 21-day cycles on Days 1 and 8; the next cycle should start 14 days after the Day 8 dose (i.e., the Day 8 infusion is counted as the first day of that 14-day period). However, visit windows of 1 day prior to and 2 days after the scheduled infusion are permitted. The scheduled Day 1 and Day 8 infusions may be delayed for up to 3 weeks for treatment-related toxicities.


Instructions for dose delays and dose reductions for specific toxicities are summarized below. See Table 38 for when sacituzumab govitecan can be administered based on ANC. Withhold sacituzumab govitecan administration for Grade 3 nausea or Grade 3 or 4 diarrhea or vomiting at the time of scheduled treatment administration and resume sacituzumab govitecan when resolved to ≤Grade 1. For other toxicities, dosing may be delayed for >Grade 2 toxicities for a maximum of 3 weeks per investigator assessment. If the toxicity has improved to ≤Grade 2 the dose should be administered at that time. For a toxicity that delays Day 8 dosing, if dosing is delayed for more than 1 week, dosing should resume on Day 1 of next cycle to minimize treatment gap. Regardless of whether the Day 8 dose is delayed for toxicity, there should be 14 days between the Day 8 infusion and the Day 1 infusion of the next cycle.

dexamethasone (10 mg PO or IV).



Anticipatory nausea can be treated with olanzapine.


Neutropenia
Complete blood counts must be obtained prior to each



sacituzumab govitecan infusion and treatment should be



administered if ANC meets the following criteria:



Day 1: ANC ≥ 1500/mm3



Day 8: ANC ≥ 1000/mm3



The routine prophylactic use of growth factors is not required;



however, prophylactic administration should comply with



current ASCO/ESMO guidelines for use of growth factors.





ANC = absolute neutrophil count;


ASCO = American Society of Clinical Oncology;


ESMO = European Society for Medical Oncology,


IV = intravenous;


PO = orally;


SG = sacituzumab govitecan






Palliative radiotherapy is permitted. If there is clear evidence of clinical benefit, treatment may be continued after completion of palliative radiotherapy. In this case, sacituzumab govitecan administration should be interrupted 1 week before the procedure and reinstated no earlier than 2 weeks after the procedure. In the event a patient requires surgery, sacituzumab govitecan should be interrupted 1 week before the procedure if clinically feasible and dosing should be held for 2 weeks after the procedure. Dosing may resume thereafter if the patient is clinically stable. Extensive surgical procedures (eg, abdominal, cranial surgeries) may require suspension of dosing for 4 weeks to allow for an adequate period for healing before dosing may resume. The study medical monitor must approve continuation of therapy with sacituzumab govitecan before resumption of dosing.


Treatment interruptions for reasons other than resolution of toxicities/procedures are not permitted outside of the permitted visit windows.


Treatment Modifications of FLT3L-Fc Fusion Protein

Treatment modifications of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein, including dose delays, temporary interruptions, or permanent treatment discontinuation, may be required in the event of treatment-related toxicity.


As such, participants randomized to FLT3L-Fc fusion protein who experience toxicity are to withhold or discontinue FLT3L-Fc fusion protein. Dose reductions are not permitted.


In situations in which treatment can be restarted, FLT3L-Fc fusion protein should be restarted concurrently. If the combination has been withheld for more than 3 consecutive doses because of toxicity, the participant should permanently discontinue the combination unless otherwise agreed with the medical monitor.


Permanent Discontinuation From Treatment Study

Any study treatment may be discontinued in the following instances:

    • Intercurrent illness that would, in the judgment of the investigator, affect assessments of clinical status to a significant degree.
    • Unacceptable toxicity, or toxicity that, in the judgment of the investigator, compromises the ability to continue study-specific procedures or is considered not to be in the participant's best interest.
    • Death.
    • Disease progression with no evidence of clinical benefit.
    • Initiation of alternative anticancer therapy, including any study drug. Palliative and/or supportive medication is permitted as detailed herein.
    • Pregnancy during the study.
    • Investigator or treating physician decision.
    • Participant or legally acceptable representative request, with or without a stated reason.
    • Participant noncompliance with study drugs.
    • Lost to follow-up.
    • Discontinuation of the study at the request of sponsor or a regulatory agency/institutional review board (IRB)/independent ethics committee (IEC).
    • Unforeseen global pandemic or natural disaster.


The reason for treatment discontinuation must be reported.


Study drug discontinuation should not result in participant discontinuation from the study. Participants should continue to be followed for safety, disease progression (if relevant), and survival.


Discontinuation Criteria

Participants are to discontinue the study under any of the following instances:

    • Death
    • Participant withdrawal of consent from the study
    • Lost to follow-up
    • Discontinuation of the study at the request of the sponsor or a regulatory agency/IRB/IEC


The reason for study discontinuation must be reported.


Lost to Follow-Up

A participant is considered lost to follow-up if the participant repeatedly fails to return for scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.


The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required study visit:

    • The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon a possible, counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit schedule, and ascertain whether the participant wishes to and/or should continue in the study.
    • Before a participant is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee must make every effort to regain contact with the participant, with at least 3 attempts by a combination of phone calls, text messages, email messages, and if necessary, a certified letter to the participant's last known mailing address or local equivalent methods. These contact attempts should be documented in the participant's source documents. If a participant does not respond within 1 month after the third contact attempt, the participant is considered lost to follow-up.
    • For participants who are considered lost to follow-up prior to completion of all protocol-required study assessments or survival follow-up as described in Tables 40 and 41, the investigator may search publicly available records (where permitted by local laws and regulations) to ascertain survival status unless the participant has withdrawn consent for such follow-up. This ensures reduced risk of missing critical efficacy data.


End of Study

The end of the study is defined as the date on which the last participant in the clinical study completes the last study visit/call or when the sponsor decides to end the study. The sponsor reserves the right to terminate the study at any time for any reason (including safety).

Every effort should be made to follow AEs and SAEs considered related to study treatment or protocol-related procedures until a final outcome can be reported.




bIncludes special situations reports that involve sponsor products including concomitant medications that are not considered study drug.







Toxicity Management

For Grade 3 and 4 toxicities, relationship to study drugs, clinical status of participant, and investigator assessment of participant safety should inform participant withdrawal from dosing. Abnormal laboratory values should be repeated when necessary and followed until resolution and as clinically appropriate. Treatment-emergent toxicities are noted by the investigator and brought to the attention of the medical monitor, and the appropriate course of action will be discussed and decided. Whether or not considered treatment-related, all participants experiencing AEs must be monitored periodically until symptoms subside, any abnormal laboratory values have resolved or returned to baseline levels or they are considered irreversible, or until there is satisfactory explanation for the changes observed.


Participant Population

Approximately 23 participants with advanced or metastic NSCLC are enrolled in the treatment arm (e.g., combination arm) during the preliminary stage of this study. If the combination treatment is demonstrating efficacy, the study may proceed to the expansion stage, in which 55 participants with advanced or metastic NSCLC are enrolled in the treatment arm (e.g., combination arm). The expansion stage will also include


Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for participation in this study:

    • 1) Histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC with documented evidence of stage IV NSCLC disease at time of start of study treatment (based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer, Eighth Edition).
    • 2) Participants willing to provide adequate tumor tissue as specified in the Laboratory Manual, ideally a new biopsy. Tumor biopsy must have been performed on or after progression on prior line of therapy and before enrollment with no anticancer treatment between collection of tissue and enrollment.
    • Note: If performing a tumor biopsy on or after progression on prior line of therapy is not clinically feasible or advisable, the participant may be allowed to enroll upon agreement with the investigator and the Medical Monitor. Biopsies obtained before receiving prior line of therapy may be permitted if a recent biopsy is not feasible and upon agreement with the investigator and the Medical Monitor.
    • 3) Testing for EGFR and ALK is required. Testing for other actionable genomic alterations is recommended and to be performed as per local standard of care and availability of targeted treatment.
    • Note: Participants with EGFR, ALK, or any other known actionable genomic alterations must have also received treatment with at least 1 approved TKI appropriate to the genomic alteration.
    • 4) Participants must have progressed or experienced disease recurrence after receiving platinum-based chemotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody or sequential treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody (in any order).
    • Note: Includes participants who received prior platinum-based chemoradiotherapy (with or without maintenance anti-PD-L1 antibody) for Stage III disease. To be considered to have progressed during or after prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, participants should have either received prior platinum-based chemotherapy in the recurrent/metastatic setting or have experienced disease progression within 6 months of last dose of platinum based chemotherapy administered as part of concurrent chemoradiation for Stage III disease or as neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy. To be considered to have progressed during or after prior treatment with an anti-PD-L1 antibody, participants should have either received this therapy in the recurrent/metastatic setting or have experienced disease progression during “maintenance” treatment following concurrent chemoradiation for Stage III disease or as adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment for early-stage NSCLC.
    • 5) Documented radiographic disease progression while on or after receiving the most recent treatment regimen for advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
    • Note: Participants who discontinued most recent treatment due to intolerable toxicity while enrolled on another substudy within this master protocol are permitted.


Exclusion Criteria

Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are not eligible to be enrolled in this study:

    • 1) Previously received lung cancer treatment with any of the following:
      • a) Topoisomerase 1 inhibitors. Any agent including an ADC containing a chemotherapeutic agent targeting topoisomerase 1.
      • b) Trop-2-targeted therapy.
      • c) Docetaxel as monotherapy or in combination with other agents.
    • 2) Have an active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years defined as treatment with disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs. Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
    • 3) Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant.
    • 4) Previously known or existing FLT3 mutation of any kind.


      Rationale for this Study


Sacituzumab govitecan has been evaluated as a monotherapy in patients with metastatic NSCLC in 2 clinical studies: IMMU-132-01 (completed; 54 patients enrolled) and IMMU-132-11 (ongoing; preliminary results are not available yet). In IMMU-132-01, objective response rate (ORR) based on local response assessment was 16.7% for the NSCLC population; all responses were partial responses (PRs). The majority of patients had at least a 30% reduction in the size of the target lesion. Median duration of response (DOR) by local assessment was 6.0 months (range: 2.5 to 21.0). The Kaplan-Meier estimate of the percentage of patients with a response of 6 months was 44.4% (95% CI: 13.6, 71.9).


The therapeutic hypothesis of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein is that FLT3 agonism promotes T-cell infiltration into the tumor in response to dendritic cell (DC) recruitment and expansion of intratumoral DCs. The GS-US-496-5657 study, which is described in Example 32, is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary efficacy of FLT3L-Fc fusion protein given as a monotherapy and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The study also explores the PK and PK-PD relationship as evaluated by peripheral DC expansion. As discussed in Example 32, 9 total patients have enrolled in 3 dose escalation cohorts (2,000 μg, 6,000 μg, and 12,000 μg). To date, no DLTs or discontinuation due to AE have been observed. Three patients had Grade≥3 AEs which were also recorded as SAEs, none of which were considered related to FLT3L-Fc fusion protein. No deaths related to FLT3L-Fc fusion protein have been reported.


The rationale for the sacituzumab govitecan and FLT3L-Fc fusion protein combination treatment is based on their synergistic mechanisms of action. Immunogenic cell death from the sacituzumab govitecan treatment is hypothesized to provide immunostimulation to conventional dendritic cells (type 1) expanded by FLT3L-Fc fusion protein which may, in turn, improve the response to treatment. Taken together, the proposed dosing regimen for sacituzumab govitecan and FLT3L-Fc fusion protein in this study is expected to be safe and efficacious.


Risk/Benefit Assessment for the Study

Despite recent improvements in the outcomes of patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC with the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors, there remains a significant unmet medical need as the overall survival of this group of patients remains poor. Even though much progress has been made in development of targeted treatments for specific genomic alterations, eventually most patients have progressive disease on these treatments after which they are treated with platinum chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. For patients whose cancers have failed the aforementioned treatments, very few treatment options exist, and they represent a patient population of high unmet medical need. Therefore, there is a need to identify and develop new combination regimens that are more efficacious and less toxic than currently available treatments. However, it cannot be guaranteed that participants in clinical studies will benefit directly from the study treatment or participation.


Given the ongoing need for novel agents and combinations in the treatment of second-line NSCLC, the benefit/risk balance for this study is considered positive.


Pharmacokinetics and Immunogenicity Assessments

Serum samples are collected for study drug concentration and, if applicable, immunogenicity as outlined in Tables 40 and 41. Additionally, ad hoc samples may be collected at any time if there is a suspected safety issue. The following sacituzumab govitecan-related PK analytes are evaluated at the specified time points: sacituzumab govitecan, total SN-38, free SN-38, and total antibody.


Samples collected for analysis of study drug concentration and immunogenicity may also be used to evaluate safety or efficacy aspects related to concerns arising during or after the study. For participants with positive ADA at the 100-day follow-up visit, additional blood ADA samples may be collected every 4 months (±1 month) up to 1 year from the last dose of study drug, or until the ADA becomes negative, or until the participant starts a subsequent anticancer therapy, or withdraws consent from the study, whichever occurs first.


UGT1A1 Genotype

UGT1A1 genotype is evaluated from a blood sample collected according to the Tables 40 and 41.


Biomarker Testing at Enrollment

Local tumor tissue or liquid biopsy testing will be conducted according to Tables 40 and 41 if EGFR or ALK status is unknown. If local testing is unavailable, tumor tissue testing can be performed by the central laboratory. Results must be available prior to enrollment. Diagnostic testing for EGFR and ALK alterations in the central laboratory to determine eligibility at screening will be performed with tests that are approved. EGFR testing will be performed using the Cobas® EGFR Mutation Test (Roche). For ALK, the Vysis ALK Break Apart FISH probe test (Abbott) will be used.


Biomarker Samples to Address the Study Objectives

Biological specimens are collected from all participants who have provided consent to participate in these studies and may be used to evaluate the association of systemic and/or tissuebased biomarkers with study drug response (including efficacy and/or AEs), resistance, and/or dosage selection, and to better understand the biological pathways, biology of lung cancer and/or the validation of a companion diagnostic for lung cancer or study treatments. Because biomarker science is a rapidly evolving area of investigation, and AEs in particular are difficult to predict, it may not be possible to prospectively specify all tests that may be performed on the specimens provided. The specific analyses include but may not be limited to the biomarkers and assays listed below. The testing outlined below is based upon the current state of scientific knowledge. It may be modified during or after the end of the study to remove tests no longer indicated and/or to add new tests based upon new state-of-the-art knowledge.


Biomarkers (in blood and tissue) may include, but are not limited to, protein expression, analyses of specific immune and tumor signatures (RNA), as well as tumor mutational burden and tumor mutations (DNA). Tumor and blood samples are collected to measure biomarkers of response and resistance and to better understand molecular attributes predictive of treatment in lung cancer. Examples may include, but are not be limited to, PD-L1 and Trop-2-expression, other proteins as well as mutations/gene expression (WES/RNAseq) related to any of the study treatments or related to lung cancer, tumor mutational burden, oncogenic mutations, composition of immune subsets in tumor microenvironment, and pathological features of the tumor. The time points of biomarker sample collection are specified in Tables 40 and 41.


Mandatory blood specimen are collected for the extraction of DNA for genomic testing (genomic sequencing and ctDNA) and correlation with response, as well as control samples for tumor genetic analyses and other exploratory biomarkers. Samples are also used for genotyping to test for polymorphisms of genes that could regulate or be involved in the disposition of sacituzumab govitecan. The control blood sample for genomic sequencing should be collected on Day 1, before administration of the first dose of study drug, but may be collected at any time during the study, if necessary. The sample for ctDNA and plasma should be collected at predose on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), multiple times on treatment, and at progression/EOT. Details on sample collection are specified in Tables 40 and 41.


A mandatory tumor sample is collected for all participants at screening. If an archival sample already exists that was obtained prior to enrollment, it can be used, if it was obtained after first-line treatment and the participant received no antitumor therapy between sample collection and enrollment. If performing a tumor biopsy prior to enrollment is not clinically feasible or advisable, the participant may be allowed to enroll upon agreement with the investigator and the Gilead Medical Monitor. If no data at the site are available on EGFR and ALK alterations, the samples are also used to test for EGFR and ALK aberrations to determine eligibility. The tumor samples are also used to determine TROP-2 and PD-L1 expression and explore other biomarkers as described herein. Tumor tissue is collected preferentially as tumor blocks, if archival. If not available, freshly sectioned unstained slides may be submitted. If a new biopsy is collected, the whole biopsy is provided. Bone biopsies, fine needle aspirates, and cytology samples are not acceptable samples. Samples from irradiated tumors or samples with limited tumor content are not be acceptable. Please refer to the Laboratory Manual for more detail. In addition to the diagnostic testing for EGFR/ALK aberrations, the tumor samples may be evaluated for other exploratory biomarkers that include, but are not limited to, immunohistochemistry staining, including but not limited to PD-L1 and Trop2, RNA sequencing, and/or whole-exome sequencing. An optional on treatment/EOT/progression biopsy is collected to explore markers of response or resistance to study treatments and changes of biomarkers on treatment.

This study includes the following analysis sets:


Preliminary Stage Efficacy Set: All participants to be randomized into an experimental treatment arm (i.e., combination arm) in the preliminary stage who take at least 1 dose of each study drug. This is the primary analysis set for efficacy analyses for the preliminary stage. Participants who discontinue without having taken at least 1 dose of study drug are replaced.


Full Analysis Set: Defined for an experimental combination therapy by combining the corresponding PSE Analysis Set and ESITT Analysis Set. This analysis set is used for sensitivity efficacy analyses.


Safety Analysis Set: All participants who receive at least one dose of any study treatment, based on the treatment actually received.


PK Analysis Set is defined for a study treatment, and includes participants to be randomized into the treatment arm in the preliminary and expansion stages and receive at least 1 dose of study drug and have at least 1 measurable post-treatment serum/plasma concentration


Biomarker Analysis Set: All participants who have at least one biomarker data point and receive at least one dose of study treatment Demographic and Baseline Characteristics Analysis


Demographic and baseline measurements are summarized by treatment arm using standard descriptive methods.


Efficacy Analysis
Analysis of Primary Efficacy Endpoint

In the preliminary stage, the primary analysis of ORR assessed by the investigator per RECIST version 1.1 is conducted in the PSE Analysis Set. Participants with no postbaseline disease assessment are considered as nonresponders. A 90% CI is calculated for ORR using the exact binomial distribution (Clopper C J, Pearson E S. The Use of Confidence or Fiducial Limits Illustrated in the Case of the Binomial. Biometrika 1934; 26 (4):404-13).


In the expansion stage, the primary analysis of ORR assessed by the investigator per RECIST version 1.1 is conducted in the ESITT Analysis Set; sensitivity analysis is conducted in the FAS. Participants with no postbaseline disease assessment are considered as nonresponders. Based on stratification at randomization at the beginning of expansion stage, strataadjusted difference of ORR between the experimental treatment and the comparator treatment, using the Miettinen-Nurminen method adjusted by the inverse-variance weight, and its 90% CI are calculated (Agresti A. Categorical Data Analysis, 3rd Edition. 3rd Edition ed. Hoboken, N.J.: John John Wiley & Sons Inc.; 2013; Miettinen O, Nurminen M. Comparative analysis of two rates. Stat Med 1985; 4 (2):213-26). A 90% CI is also be calculated for ORR using the exact binomial distribution (Clopper 1934).


Analysis of Secondary Efficacy Endpoints

In the preliminary stage, analysis of duration of response (DOR) is performed using the Kaplan-Meier method based on participants who achieved objective response in the PSE Analysis Set. Median, Q1 and Q3 are provided, along with the corresponding 90% CI. In the expansion stage, analysis of DOR is performed using the same method in the ESITT Analysis Set and FAS.


For the expansion stage, the analysis of PFS and OS are performed in the ESITT Analysis Set. The treatment effect is estimated by hazard ratio along with its 90% CI using the Cox proportional hazards regression model stratified by the stratification factors at randomization. Kaplan-Meier curves are provided by treatment arm. Median, Q1, Q3 of PFS (and OS, respectively), and the probability of progression-free survival (and overall survival, respectively) at selected landmark points are provided along with the corresponding 90% CIs using the Kaplan-Meier method. A sensitivity analysis of PFS and OS are performed in the FAS.


If the experimental combination therapy does not enter the expansion stage, the primary analysis of PFS and OS is performed using the Kaplan-Meier method in the PSE Analysis Set. Medians, Q1, Q3 of PFS (and OS, respectively), the probability of progression-free survival (and overall survival, respectively) at selected landmark points is provided along with corresponding 90% CIs.


The PFS time is censored at date of the last evaluable assessment prior to subsequent anticancer therapy, if any, or at date of the last evaluable assessment prior to missed or not evaluable (NE) assessments if documented disease progression or death occurs after ≥2 consecutively missed or NE disease assessments. The detailed PFS censoring rule is specified in the SAP.


Safety Analysis

The treatment-emergent period is defined as the time period from the first dose of study treatment to the earlier of 100 days following the last dose of study treatment or the initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy. Treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) incidence are summarized in tables. Relevant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters are analyzed.


The safety variables to be analyzed include exposure to study treatment, AEs, deaths, clinical laboratory test results (hematology and chemistry), physical examination, vital sign measurements, and ECGs. In general, continuous variables are summarized using descriptive statistics (n, mean, median, standard deviation, standard error, and range). Categorical variables are summarized using frequencies and percentages. No formal statistical testing is planned.


Incidence of treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities, defined as values that increase at least 1 toxicity grade from baseline at any time after baseline up to and including the date of last dose of study treatment [plus 100 days]), are summarized by treatment group. If baseline data are missing, any graded abnormality (i.e., at least a Grade 1) is considered treatment emergent. Laboratory abnormalities that occur before the first dose of study drug or after the participant has been discontinued from treatment for at least 30 days are included in a data listing.


Pharmacokinetic Analysis

Exploratory evaluations of plasma concentrations and PK parameters (ie, Cmax, Ctrough) of study drugs over time are listed and summarized for all study treatments using descriptive statistics, based on the PK Analysis Set.


Data from this study may be combined with data from other studies with study treatment for population PK and exposure response analyses. If applicable, results from such analyses may be summarized in a separate report, rather than in a clinical study report. Population PK and exposure response analyses of data from this study only may not be conducted.


Biomarker Analysis

Exploratory biomarker analyses, including change in the biomarkers in response to treatment and correlation of clinical response with biomarkers at baseline and/or on treatment/progression, are based on the appropriate corresponding Biomarker Analysis Set. The data derived from biomarker samples is analyzed depending on the available data, particularly in relationship to clinical outcomes and safety. The result of the biomarker assessment is reported either in the CSR or separately in a scientific report or publication.


Immunogenicity Analysis

The rate of anti-drug antibody positivity over time is evaluated for each study drug, if applicable, both in each treatment arm and for the combined population based on the Immunogenicity Analysis Set. Detailed summary of ADA prevalence, incidence (treatment-emergent and treatment-boosted), transience, and persistence is calculated by treatment arm and for the combined participant population. Titer summaries at each time point per participant may also be produced for ADA-positive participants. If the ADA is further characterized as neutralizing or otherwise, the overall rate of neutralizing antibody occurrence is also reported.


Exploratory evaluations may be conducted to determine the relationship between immunogenicity assay positivity and one or more safety, PK, or efficacy parameters. These analyses and any others may be reported in a separate PK/ADA report, which are provided as an appendix to the clinical study report. ADA-positive samples may be analyzed further in a validated neutralizing antibody assay, if applicable.

aRandomization should occur on CID1 if possible or within 5 days prior.




bThe C1D1 physical examination is not required if a complete physical examination was performed within 3 days before study drug administration.




cAbnormal findings should be evaluated as clinically indicated, including repeated ECGs. ECGs may be done at other time points during the study if clinically indicated.




dCT or MRI scans with IV contrast (unless contrast use is medically contraindicated) of chest, abdomen, pelvis, and any other involved disease sites are required in all participants. In participants with stable brain lesion identified as a target lesion for response, brain MRI will also be required at all response assessments. For each participant, the same imaging technique should be used throughout the study. Clinical progression leading to participant discontinuation should be documented by CT or MRI scan if clinically feasible. Participants who discontinue treatment due to toxicity or for any reason other than objective progression will continue to obtain radiologic response assessments according to the protocol-required schedule until PD or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy. For participants with evidence of CR and PR, a confirmatory scan must be obtained a minimum of 4 weeks after initial documentation of response or at next scheduled assessment. Imaging schedule is based on calendar days. Additional CT or MRI scans may be performed at the discretion of the investigator to assess disease status as medically indicated. These results should be recorded.




eIf a participant has known or suspected bone metastasis, a bone scan (99m-technetium polyphosphonate scintigraphy, whole-body bone MRI, or 18F-NaF/FDG PET) to assess bone metastases will be performed within 6 weeks before randomization (historical scans are acceptable). In participants whose body CT/MRI scans indicate that CRhas been achieved, a bone scan or 18F-NaF/FDG PET will be required at confirmation of CRto exclude the presence of new bone metastases or if clinically indicated, and will occur within 1 week, but not more than 2 weeks following a CR as assessed by the investigator. For each participant, the same imaging technique used at screening should be used throughout the study to ensure comparability. Lesions detected on bone scans must be followed with cross-sectional imaging.




fObtain as clinically indicated. May be obtained more frequently at the discretion of the treating physician if abnormal results warrant follow-up. Results of unscheduled tests should be documented.




gThe C1D1 hematology laboratory testing does not need to be conducted if the screening tests were performed within 3 days before study treatment administration.




hTSH, Total T3, and Free T4 is to be collected on Day 1 of odd cycles only.




iThe C1D1 pregnancy test does not need to be repeated if the screening pregnancy test was performed within the 72 hours before study treatment administration. A negative serum pregnancy test must be confirmed for female participants of childbearing potential at screening and prior to dosing on CID 1, and a serum or urine pregnancy test can be performed prior to dosing on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle. Posttreatment pregnancy testing will continue every month after the last dose of study drug up to 6 months after the end of treatment per the duration of required contraception. Testing during the posttreatment period may be done at home and the result self-reported by the participant.




jAt C1D1 and at progression/EOT. The on-treatment tumor sample can be obtained at progression or EOT. The progression/EOT tissue sample is optional. Please refer to Laboratory Manual for details.




kPredose at CID1 (can be collected later if missed).




lThe biomarker samples for ctDNA and other biomarkers will be collected predose C1D1 and predose at first 3 response assessments (at Weeks 6, 12, and 18 along with the tumor imaging and scans) and at EOT/progression. Please see Laboratory Manual for details.




mCollection times for sacituzumab govitecan PK samples are at predose and after the end of infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 6 and 10. Thereafter, PK samples will be collected at predose on Day 8 every 8 cycles (C18D8, C26D8, etc.) and at the EOT visit. The collection window is −30 minutes prior to the start of infusion of the first drug for predose samples and ±30 minutes at the end of infusion for postdose samples. Ad hoc samples may be collected at any time if there is a suspected safety issue.




nCollection times for FLT3L-Fc fusion protein PK samples are at predose and after the end of infusion on Day 1 and Day 8 (at the same time as sacituzumab govitecan PK collection) on Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 6 and at the EOT visit. The collection window is −30 minutes prior to the start of infusion of the first drug for predose samples and ±30 minutes at the end of infusion for postdose samples. Ad hoc samples may be collected at any time if there is a suspected safety issue.




oImmunogenicity samples for sacituzumab govitecan are collected predose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 6 and 10. Thereafter, samples will be collected predose on Day 8 every 8 cycles (C18D8, C26D8, etc.) and at the EOT visit. The collection window for the ADA sample is −30 minutes prior to the start of infusion of the first drug for predose samples. If participants permanently discontinue all study treatments, samples will be collected at the 100-day safety follow-up visit. In cases where the safety follow-up visit will not be performed, both PK and immunogenicity samples will be collected at EOT visit. For participants with positive ADA at the 100-day follow-up visit, additional blood ADA samples may be collected every 4 months (±1 month) up to 1 year from the last dose of study drug, or until the ADA becomes negative, or until the participant starts a subsequent anticancer therapy, or withdraws consent from the study, whichever occurs first,




pImmunogenicity samples for FLT3L-Fc fusion protein are collected predose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 6, and at the EOT visit.
