The instant application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted electronically in ASCII format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Said ASCII copy, created on Feb. 10, 2022, is named 145256_001902_SL and is 739,761 bytes in size.
The embodiments provided herein relate to, for example, methods and compositions for local or targeted immune-privilege.
Instances of unwanted immune responses, e.g., as in the rejection of transplanted tissue or in autoimmune disorders, constitute a major health problem for millions of people across the world. Long-term outcomes for organ transplantation are frequently characterized by chronic rejection, and eventual failure of the transplanted organ. More than twenty autoimmune disorders are known, affecting essentially every organ of the body, and affecting over fifty million people in North America alone. The broadly active immunosuppressive medications used to combat the pathogenic immune response in both scenarios have serious side effects. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule present on the surface of T cells, and others. PD-1 binds to two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, minimizing or preventing activation and function of said T cells. PD-1 targeted therapies have emerged as ways of providing local or targeted immune privilege. The present disclosure provides for methods and compounds that provide local or targeted immune privilege.
The present disclosure provides for methods of providing local immune privilege.

As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
As used herein, the term “about” means that the numerical value is approximate and small variations would not significantly affect the practice of the disclosed embodiments. Where a numerical limitation is used, unless indicated otherwise by the context, “about” means the numerical value can vary by +5% and remain within the scope of the disclosed embodiments. Thus, about 100 means 95 to 105.
As used herein, the term “animal” includes, but is not limited to, humans and non-human vertebrates such as wild, domestic, and farm animals. As used herein, the term “mammal” means a rodent (i.e., a mouse, a rat, or a guinea pig), a monkey, a cat, a dog, a cow, a horse, a pig, or a human. In some embodiments, the mammal is a human.
As used herein, the term “contacting” means bringing together of two elements in an in vitro system or an in vivo system. For example, “contacting” a therapeutic compound with an individual or patient or cell includes the administration of the compound to an individual or patient, such as a human, as well as, for example, introducing a compound into a sample containing a cellular or purified preparation containing target.
As used herein, the terms “comprising” (and any form of comprising, such as “comprise”, “comprises”, and “comprised”), “having” (and any form of having, such as “have” and “has”), “including” (and any form of including, such as “includes” and “include”), or “containing” (and any form of containing, such as “contains” and “contain”), are inclusive or open-ended and do not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. Any composition or method that recites the term “comprising” should also be understood to also describe such compositions as consisting, consisting of, or consisting essentially of the recited components or elements.
As used herein, the term “fused” or “linked” when used in reference to a protein having different domains or heterologous sequences means that the protein domains are part of the same peptide chain that are connected to one another with either peptide bonds or other covalent bonding. The domains or section can be linked or fused directly to one another or another domain or peptide sequence can be between the two domains or sequences and such sequences would still be considered to be fused or linked to one another. In some embodiments, the various domains or proteins provided for herein are linked or fused directly to one another or a linker sequences, such as the glycine/serine sequences described herein link the two domains together. Two peptide sequences are linked directly if they are directly connected to one another or indirectly if there is a linker or other structure that links the two regions. A linker can be directly linked to two different peptide sequences or domains.
As used herein, the term “individual,” “subject,” or “patient,” used interchangeably, means any animal, including mammals, such as mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine, cattle, sheep, horses, or primates, such as humans.
As used herein, the term “inhibit” refers to a result, symptom, or activity being reduced as compared to the activity or result in the absence of the compound that is inhibiting the result, symptom, or activity. In some embodiments, the result, symptom, or activity, is inhibited by about, or, at least, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99%. A result, symptom, or activity can also be inhibited if it is completely elimination or extinguished.
As used herein, the phrase “in need thereof” means that the subject has been identified as having a need for the particular method or treatment. In some embodiments, the identification can be by any means of diagnosis. In any of the methods and treatments described herein, the subject can be in need thereof. In some embodiments, the subject is in an environment or will be traveling to an environment in which a particular disease, disorder, or condition is prevalent. In some embodiments, the subject is at risk of developing a particular disease or disorder that a treatment is intended to treat and/or prevent. Those “in need of treatment” include those patients that may benefit form treatment with the methods of the inventions, e.g. a patient suffering from or at risk of developing an autoimmune disorder or diabetes.
As used herein, the phrase “integer from X to Y” means any integer that includes the endpoints. For example, the phrase “integer from 1 to 5” means 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
In some embodiments, therapeutic compounds are provided herein. In some embodiments, the therapeutic compound is a protein or a polypeptide, that has multiple peptide chains that interact with one another. The polypeptides can interact with one another through non-covalent interactions or covalent interactions, such as through disulfide bonds or other covalent bonds. Therefore, if an embodiment refers to a therapeutic compound it can also be said to refer to a protein or polypeptide as provided for herein and vice versa as the context dictates.
As used herein, the phrase “ophthalmically acceptable” means having no persistent detrimental effect on the treated eye or the functioning thereof, or on the general health of the subject being treated. However, it will be recognized that transient effects such as minor irritation or a “stinging” sensation are common with topical ophthalmic administration of drugs and the existence of such transient effects is not inconsistent with the composition, formulation, or ingredient (e.g., excipient) in question being “ophthalmically acceptable” as herein defined. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can be ophthalmically acceptable or suitable for ophthalmic administration.
“Specific binding” or “specifically binds to” or is “specific for” a particular antigen, target, or an epitope means binding that is measurably different from a non-specific interaction. Specific binding can be measured, for example, by determining binding of a molecule compared to binding of a control molecule, which generally is a molecule of similar structure that does not have binding activity. For example, specific binding can be determined by competition with a control molecule that is similar to the target.
Specific binding for a particular antigen, target, or an epitope can be exhibited, for example, by an antibody having a KD for an antigen or epitope of at least about 10−4M, at least about 10−5M, at least about 10−6M, at least about 10−7M, at least about 10−8M, at least about 10−9M alternatively at least about 10−10M at least about 10−11M at least about 10−12M, or greater, where KD refers to a dissociation rate of a particular antibody-target interaction. Typically, an antibody that specifically binds an antigen or target will have a KD that is, or at least, 2-, 4-, 5-, 10-, 20-, 50-, 100-, 500-, 1000-, 5,000-, 10,000-, or more times greater for a control molecule relative to the antigen or epitope.
In some embodiments, specific binding for a particular antigen, target, or an epitope can be exhibited, for example, by an antibody having a KA or Ka for a target, antigen, or epitope of at least 2-, 4-, 5-, 20-, 50-, 100-, 500-, 1000-, 5,000-, 10,000- or more times greater for the target, antigen, or epitope relative to a control, where KA or Ka refers to an association rate of a particular antibody-antigen interaction.
As provided herein, the therapeutic compounds and compositions can be used in methods of treatment as provided herein. As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treated,” or “treating” mean both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic measures wherein the object is to slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological condition, disorder or disease, or obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. For purposes of these embodiments, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; diminishment of extent of condition, disorder or disease; stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of condition, disorder or disease; delay in onset or slowing of condition, disorder or disease progression; amelioration of the condition, disorder or disease state or remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable; an amelioration of at least one measurable physical parameter, not necessarily discernible by the patient; or enhancement or improvement of condition, disorder or disease. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without excessive levels of side effects. Treatment also includes prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Thus, “treatment of an auto-immune disease/disorder” means an activity that alleviates or ameliorates any of the primary phenomena or secondary symptoms associated with the auto-immune disease/disorder or other condition described herein. Methods for the treatment of various diseases or conditions are provided herein. The therapeutic treatment can also be administered prophylactically to preventing or reduce the disease or condition before the onset.
Provided herein are therapeutic compounds, e.g., therapeutic protein molecules, e.g., fusion proteins, including a targeting moiety and an effector binding/modulating moiety, typically as separate domains. Also provided are methods of using and making the therapeutic compounds. The targeting moiety serves to localize the therapeutic compound, and thus the effector binding/modulating moiety, to a site at which immune-privilege is desired. As used herein, “immune privilege” means lack of, or suppression of an inflammatory response. As a non-limiting example, immune privilege includes situations where a tissue or site in the body is able to tolerate the introduction of antigens without eliciting an inflammatory immune response (Forester J. V., Lambe H. Xu, Cornall R. Immune Privilege or privileged immunity? Mucosal Immunology, 1, 372-381 (2008)).
The effector binding/modulating moiety comprises one or more of: (a) an immune cell inhibitory molecule binding/modulating moiety (an ICIM binding/modulating moiety): (b) an immunosuppressive immune cell binding/modulating moiety (an IIC binding/modulating moiety); (c) a soluble molecule binding/modulating moiety (a SM binding/modulating moiety) or (d) a molecule that blocks or inhibits immune cell stimulatory molecule binding/modulating moiety (referred to herein as an ICSM binding/modulating moiety). In some embodiments, the ICSM inhibits immune activation by, for example, blocking the interaction between a costimulatory molecule and its counterstructure. In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises: (a) and (b); (a) and (c); (a) and (d); (b) and (c); (b) and (d); (c) and (d); or (a), (b), (c), and (d).
The present disclosure provides, for example, molecules that can act as PD-1 agonists. Without being bound to any particular theory, agonism of PD-1 inhibits T cell activation/signaling and can be accomplished by different mechanisms. For example crosslinking of bead-bound functional PD-1 agonists can lead to agonism. Functional PD-1 agonists have been described (Akkaya. Ph.D. Thesis: Modulation of the PD-1 pathway by inhibitory antibody superagonists. Christ Church College, Oxford, UK, 2012), which is hereby incorporated by reference. Crosslinking of PD-1 with two mAbs that bind non-overlapping epitopes induces PD-1 signaling (Davis, US 2011/0171220), which is hereby incorporated by reference. Another example is illustrated through the use of a goat anti-PD-1 antiserum (e.g. AF1086, R&D Systems), which acts as an agonist when soluble (Said et al., 2010, Nat Med. 2010 April; 16(4):452-9) which is hereby incorporated by reference. Non-limiting examples of PD-1 agonists that can be used in the present embodiments include, but are not limited to, UCB clone 19 or clone 10, PD1AB-1, PD1AB-2, PD1AB-3, PD1AB-4 and PD1AB-5, PD1AB-6 (Anaptys/Celgene), PD1-17, PD1-28, PD1-33 and PD1-35 (Collins et al, US 2008/0311117 A1 Antibodies against PD-1 and uses therefor, which is incorporated by reference), or can be a bi-specific, monovalent anti-PD-1/anti-CD3 (Ono), and the like. In some embodiments, the PD-1 agonist antibodies can be antibodies that block binding of PD-L1 to PD-1. In some embodiments, the PD-1 agonist antibodies can be antibodies that do not block binding of PD-L1 to PD-1.
PD-1 agonism can be measured by any method, such as the methods described in the examples. For example, cells can be constructed that express, including stably express, constructs that include a human PD-1 polypeptide fused to a β-galactosidase “Enzyme donor” and 2) a SHP-2 polypeptide fused to a β-galactosidase “Enzyme acceptor.” Without being bound by any theory, when PD-1 is engaged, SHP-2 is recruited to PD-1. The enzyme acceptor and enzyme donor form a fully active b-galactosidase enzyme that can be assayed. Although, the assay does not directly show PD-1 agonism, but shows activation of PD-1 signaling. PD-1 agonism can also be measured by measuring inhibition of T cell activation because, without being bound to any theory, PD-1 agonism inhibits anti-CD3-induced T cell activation. For example, PD-1 agonism can be measured by preactivating T cells with PHA (for human T cells) or ConA (for mouse T cells) so that they express PD-1. The cells can then be reactivated with anti-CD3 in the presence of anti-PD-1 (or PD-L1) for the PD-1 agonism assay. T cells that receive a PD-1 agonist signal in the presence of anti-CD3 will show decreased activation, relative to anti-CD3 stimulation alone. Activation can be readout by proliferation or cytokine production (IL-2, IFNg, IL-17) or other markers, such as CD69 activation marker. Thus, PD-1 agonism can be measured by either cytokine production or cell proliferation. Other methods can also be used to measure PD-1 agonism.
PD-1 is an Ig superfamily member expressed on activated T cells and other immune cells. The natural ligands for PD-1 appear to be PD-L1 and PD-L2. Without being bound to any particular theory, when PD-L1 or PD-L2 bind to PD-1 on an activated T cell, an inhibitory signaling cascade is initiated, resulting in attenuation of the activated T effector cell function. Thus, blocking the interaction between PD-1 on a T cell, and PD-L1/2 on another cell (for example, a tumor cell) with a PD-1 antagonist is known as checkpoint inhibition, and releases the T cells from inhibition. In contrast, PD-1 agonist antibodies can bind to PD-1 and send an inhibitory signal and attenuate the function of a T cell. Thus, PD-1 agonist antibodies can be incorporated into various embodiments described herein as an effector molecule binding/modulating moiety (sometimes also referred to herein as an effector molecule), which can accomplish localized tissue-specific immunomodulation when paired with a targeting moiety.
The effector molecule binding/modulating moiety can provide an immunosuppressive signal or environment in a variety of ways. In some embodiments, the effector binding/modulating moiety comprises an ICIM binding/modulating moiety that directly binds and (under the appropriate conditions as described herein) activates an inhibitory receptor expressed by immune cells responsible for driving disease pathology. In another embodiment the effector binding/modulating moiety comprises and IIC binding/modulating moiety and binds and accumulates immunosuppressive immune cells. In some embodiments, the accumulated immune suppressive cells promote immune privilege. In another embodiment the effector binding/modulating moiety comprises an SM binding/modulating moiety which manipulates the surrounding microenvironment to make it less permissible for the function of immune cells, e.g., immune cells driving disease pathology. In some embodiments, the SM binding/modulating moiety depletes an entity that promotes immune attack or activation. In some embodiments the effector binding/modulating moiety comprises an ICSM binding/modulating moiety that binds a member of a pair of stimulatory molecules, e.g., costimulatory molecules, and inhibits the interaction between the costimulatory molecule and the costimulatory molecule counterstructure, such as, but not limited to, OX40 or CD30 or CD40 and OX40L, or CD30L or CD40L and inhibits the immune stimulation of a cell, such as, but not limited to, a T cell, B cell, NK cell, or other immune cell comprising a member of the pair.
The targeting moiety and effector binding/modulating moiety are physically tethered, covalently or non-covalently, directly or through a linker entity, to one another, e.g., as a member of the same protein molecule in a therapeutic protein molecule. In some embodiments, the targeting and effector moieties are provided in a therapeutic protein molecule, e.g., a fusion protein, typically as separate domains. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety, the effector binding/modulating moiety, or both each comprises a single domain antibody molecule, e.g., a camelid antibody VHH molecule or human soluble VH domain. It may also contain a single-chain fragment variable (scFv) or a Fab domain. In some embodiments, the therapeutic protein molecule, or a nucleic acid, e.g., an mRNA or DNA, encoding the therapeutic protein molecule, can be administered to a subject. In some embodiments, the targeting and effector molecule binding/modulating moieties are linked to a third entity, e.g., a carrier, e.g., a polymeric carrier, a dendrimer, or a particle, e.g., a nanoparticle. The therapeutic compounds can be used to down regulate an immune response at or in a tissue at a selected target or site while having no or substantially less immunosuppressive function systemically. The target or site can comprise donor tissue or autologous tissue.
Provided herein are methods of providing site-specific immune privilege for a transplanted donor tissue, e.g., an allograft tissue, e.g., a tissue described herein, e.g., an allograft liver, an allograft kidney, an allograft heart, an allograft pancreas, an allograft thymus or thymic tissue, allograft skin, or an allograft lung, with therapeutic compounds disclosed herein. In embodiments the treatment minimizes rejection of, minimizes immune effector cell mediated damage to, prolongs acceptance of, or prolongs the functional life of, donor transplant tissue.
Also provided herein are methods of inhibiting graft versus host disease (GVHD) by minimizing the ability of donor immune cells, e.g., donor T cells, to mediate immune attack of recipient tissue, with therapeutic compounds disclosed herein.
Also provided herein are methods of treating, e.g., therapeutically treating or prophylactically treating (or preventing), an auto-immune disorder or autoimmune response in a subject by administration of a therapeutic compound disclosed herein, e.g., to provide site or tissue specific modulation of the immune system. In some embodiments, the method provides tolerance to, minimization of the rejection of, minimization of immune effector cell mediated damage to, or prolonging a function of, subject tissue. In some embodiments, the therapeutic compound includes a targeting moiety that targets, e.g., specifically targets, the tissue under, or at risk for, autoimmune attack. Non-limiting exemplary tissues include, but are not limited to, the pancreas, myelin, salivary glands, synoviocytes, and myocytes.
In some embodiments, administration of the therapeutic compound begins after the disorder is apparent. In some embodiments, administration of the therapeutic compound, begins prior to onset, or full onset, of the disorder. In some embodiments, administration of the therapeutic compound, begins prior to onset, or full onset, of the disorder, e.g., in a subject having the disorder, a high-risk subject, a subject having a biomarker for risk or presence of the disorder, a subject having a family history of the disorder, or other indicator of risk of, or asymptomatic presence of, the disorder. For example, in some embodiments, a subject having islet cell damage but which is not yet diabetic, is treated.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the targeting moiety functions to bind and accumulate the therapeutic compound to a target selectively expressed at the anatomical site where immune privilege is desired. In some embodiments, e.g., in the context of donor tissue transplantation, the target moiety binds to a target, e.g., an allelic product, present in the donor tissue but not the recipient. For treatment of autoimmune disorders, the targeting moiety binds a target preferentially expressed at the anatomical site where immune privilege is desired, e.g., in the pancreas. In some embodiments, the polypeptide or antibody of the disclosure binds to a pancreatic cell. In some embodiments, the pancreatic cell is a pancreatic endothelial cell. For treatment of GVHD, the targeting moiety targets the host tissue, and protects the host against attack from transplanted immune effector cells derived from transplanted tissue.
Again, while not wishing to be bound by theory it is believed that the effector binding/modulating moiety serves to deliver an immunosuppressive signal or otherwise create an immune privileged environment.
Effector, as that term is used herein, refers to an entity, e.g., a cell or molecule, e.g., a soluble or cell surface molecule, which mediates an immune response.
Effector ligand binding molecule, as used herein, refers to a polypeptide that has sufficient sequence from a naturally occurring counter-ligand of an effector, that it can bind the effector with sufficient specificity that it can serve as an effector binding/modulating molecule. In some embodiments, it binds to effector with at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 95% of the affinity of the naturally occurring counter-ligand. In some embodiments, it has at least 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100% sequence identity, or substantial sequence identity, with a naturally occurring counter-ligand for the effector.
Effector specific binding polypeptide, as used herein, refers to a polypeptide that can bind with sufficient specificity that it can serve as an effector binding/modulating moiety. In some embodiments, a specific binding polypeptide comprises an effector ligand binding molecule.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which these embodiments belong. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present embodiments, suitable methods and materials are described below. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting. Headings, sub-headings or numbered or lettered elements, e.g., (a), (b), (i) etc., are presented merely for ease of reading. The use of headings or numbered or lettered elements in this document does not require the steps or elements be performed in alphabetical order or that the steps or elements are necessarily discrete from one another. Other features, objects, and advantages of the embodiments will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the embodiments pertains. In describing and claiming the present embodiments, the following terminology and terminology otherwise referenced throughout the present application will be used according to how it is defined, where a definition is provided.
It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting.
Antibody molecule, as that term is used herein, refers to a polypeptide, e.g., an immunoglobulin chain or fragment thereof, comprising at least one functional immunoglobulin variable domain sequence. An antibody molecule encompasses antibodies (e.g., full-length antibodies) and antibody fragments. In some embodiments, an antibody molecule comprises an antigen binding or functional fragment of a full length antibody, or a full length immunoglobulin chain. For example, a full-length antibody is an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule (e.g., an IgG antibody) that is naturally occurring or formed by normal immunoglobulin gene fragment recombinatorial processes). In embodiments, an antibody molecule refers to an immunologically active, antigen-binding portion of an immunoglobulin molecule, such as an antibody fragment. An antibody fragment, e.g., functional fragment, comprises a portion of an antibody, e.g., Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, F(ab)2, variable fragment (Fv), domain antibody (dAb), or single chain variable fragment (scFv). A functional antibody fragment binds to the same antigen as that recognized by the intact (e.g., full-length) antibody. The terms “antibody fragment” or “functional fragment” also include isolated fragments consisting of the variable regions, such as the “Fv” fragments consisting of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains or recombinant single chain polypeptide molecules in which light and heavy variable regions are connected by a peptide linker (“scFv proteins”). In some embodiments, an antibody fragment does not include portions of antibodies without antigen binding activity, such as Fc fragments or single amino acid residues. Exemplary antibody molecules include full length antibodies and antibody fragments, e.g., dAb (domain antibody), single chain, Fab, Fab′, and F(ab′)2 fragments, and single chain variable fragments (scFvs).
Immunoglobulin chains exhibit the same general structure of relatively conserved framework regions (FR) joined by three hypervariable regions, also called complementarity determining regions or CDRs. The CDRs from the two chains of each pair are aligned by the framework regions, enabling binding to a specific epitope. From N-terminus to C-terminus, both light and heavy chains comprise the domains FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3 and FR4. The assignment of amino acids to each domain is in accordance with the definitions of Kabat Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987 and 1991)), or Chothia & Lesk J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987); Chothia et al. Nature 342:878-883 (1989). In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein comprise the same FRs and different CDRs. In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein comprise the same CDRs and different FRs. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the heavy chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR1 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR2 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR3 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR4 of the heavy chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the light chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR1 of the light chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR2 of the light chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR3 of the light chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the FR4 of the light chain. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in the heavy and light chains. In some embodiments, mutations in the FR are in any one or more of the FRs of the heavy and light chains.
The term “antibody molecule” also encompasses whole or antigen binding fragments of domain, or single domain, antibodies, which can also be referred to as “sdAb” or “VHH.” Domain antibodies comprise either VH or VL that can act as stand-alone, antibody fragments. Additionally, domain antibodies include heavy-chain-only antibodies (HCAbs). Domain antibodies also include a CH2 domain of an IgG as the base scaffold into which CDR loops are grafted. It can also be generally defined as a polypeptide or protein comprising an amino acid sequence that is comprised of four framework regions interrupted by three complementarity determining regions. This is represented as FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. sdAbs can be produced in camelids such as llamas, but can also be synthetically generated using techniques that are well known in the art. The numbering of the amino acid residues of a sdAb or polypeptide is according to the general numbering for VH domains given by Kabat et al. (“Sequence of proteins of immunological interest,” US Public Health Services, NIH Bethesda, MD, Publication No. 91, which is hereby incorporated by reference). According to this numbering, FR1 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 1-30, CDR1 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 31-36, FR2 of a sdAb comprises the amino acids at positions 36-49, CDR2 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 50-65, FR3 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 66-94, CDR3 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 95-102, and FR4 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 103-113. Domain antibodies are also described in WO2004041862 and WO2016065323, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference. The domain antibodies can be a targeting moiety as described herein.
Antibody molecules can be monospecific (e.g., monovalent or bivalent), bispecific (e.g., bivalent, trivalent, tetravalent, pentavalent, or hexavalent), trispecific (e.g., trivalent, tetravalent, pentavalent, hexavalent), or with higher orders of specificity (e.g., tetraspecific) and/or higher orders of valency beyond hexavalency. An antibody molecule can comprise a functional fragment of a light chain variable region and a functional fragment of a heavy chain variable region, or heavy and light chains may be fused together into a single polypeptide.
Examples of formats for multispecific therapeutic compounds, e.g., bispecific antibody molecules are shown in the following non-limiting examples. Although illustrated with antibody molecules, they can be used as platforms for therapeutic molecules that include other non-antibody moieties as specific binding or effector moieties. In some embodiments, these non-limiting examples are based upon either a symmetrical or asymmetrical Fc formats.
For example, the figures illustrate non-limiting and varied symmetric homodimer approach. In some embodiments, the dimerization interface centers around human IgG1 CH2-CH3 domains, which dimerize via a contact interface spanning both CH2/CH2 and CH3/CH3. The resulting bispecific antibodies shown have a total valence comprised of four binding units with two identical binding units at the N-terminus on each side of the dimer and two identical units at the C-terminus on each side of the dimer. In each case the binding units at the N-terminus of the homo-dimer are different from those at the C-terminus of the homo-dimer. Using this type of bivalency for both an inhibitory T cell receptor at either terminus of the molecule and bivalency for a tissue tethering antigen can be achieved at either end of the molecule.
For example, in
A non-limiting example of a molecule that has different binding regions on the different ends includes a molecule that comprises, a PD-1 agonist at one end and an antibody that provides target specificity, particularly, an anti-MAdCAM-1 antibody at the other end. This can be illustrated as shown, for example, in
In some embodiments, the MAdCAM antibody is a blocking or non-blocking antibody as described elsewhere herein. Without being bound to any theory, MAdCAM has been shown to interact with the headpiece of the integrin α4β7 expressed on lymphocytes via multiple residues within its two Ig superfamily I-set domains and the atomic level structural basis for that interaction has been described (Viney J L et al. (1996). J Immunol. 157, 2488-2497; Yu Y et al (2013). J Biol Chem. 288, 6284-6294; Yu Y et al (2012). J Cell Biol. 196, 131-146, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety). It has been shown in great structural, mechanistic and functional detail in both human (Chen J et al (2003). Nat Struct Biol. 10, 995-1001; de Chateau M et al (2001). Biochemistry. 40, 13972-13979) and mouse (Day E S et al (2002). Cell Commun Adhes. 9, 205-219; Hoshino H et al (2011). J Histochem Cytochem. 59, 572-583) molecular systems that any interaction of MAdCAM with α4β7 is dependent on three dication binding sites present in the integrin beta 7 subunit I-like domain and that these metal binding sites can coordinate with Ca2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+. Using cell adhesion assays, flow cytometry, and/or flow chamber assays in the presence of high levels of Ca2+ with or without Mg2+ or Mn2+, the MAdCAM/α4β7 interaction is shown to be of a lower functional affinity and permits rolling adhesion of lymphocytes, whereas in low Ca2+ but higher Mg2+ or Mn2+ which activates the integrin, the MAdCAM/α4β7 interaction is of a higher functional affinity and mediates firm lymphocyte adhesion (Chen J et al (2003). Nat Struct Biol. 10, 995-1001). A number of groups have shown that various cell:cell, cell:membrane prep, and/or cell:protein based adhesion/interaction assays can be utilized, with FACS, cell flow chamber based counts, or IHC based read-outs to monitor the impact of anti-MAdCAM or anti-α4β7 antibodies upon the interaction of MAdCAM with α4β7, allowing one to identify blocking or non-blocking antibodies (Nakache, M et al (1989). Nature. 337, 179-181; Streeter, P R et al (1988). Nature. 331. 41-46; Yang Y et al (1995). Scand J Immunol. 42. 235-247; Leung E et al (2004). Immunol Cell Biol. 82. 400-409; Pullen N et al (2009). B J Pharmacol. 157. 281-293; Soler D et al (2009). J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 330. 864-875; Qi J et al (2012). J Biol Chem. 287. 15749-15759). This has been exemplified in the mouse system setting with the identification of anti-mouse MAdCAM antibodies such as MECA-89 (non-blocking) and MECA-367 (blocking)) Nakache, M et al (1989). Nature. 337, 179-181; Streeter, P R et al (1988). Nature. 331. 41-46; Yang Y et al (1995). Scand J Immunol. 42. 235-247). In a human system, antibodies have been identified that block the interaction of human MAdCAM with human α4β7 such as anti-human MAdCAM PF-00547659 (Pullen N et al (2009). B J Pharmacol. 157. 281-293) and anti-human α4β7 vedolizumab (Soler D et al (2009). J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 330. 864-875), as well as antibodies that do not block the interaction such as anti-human MAdCAM clone 17F5 (Soler D et al (2009). J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 330. 864-875), and anti-human α4β7 clone J19 (Qi J et al (2012). J Biol Chem. 287. 15749-15759). Thus, the antibody can either be blocking or non-blocking based upon the desired effect. In some embodiments, the antibody is a non-blocking MAdCAM antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody is a blocking MAdCAM antibody. One non-limiting example of demonstrating whether an antibody is blocking or non-blocking can be found throughout the examples, but any method can be used. Each of the references described herein are incorporated by reference in its entirety. In some embodiments, the PD-1 Agonist is replaced with an IL-2 mutein, such as, but not limited to, the ones described herein.

Cell surface molecule binder, as that term is used herein, refers to a molecule, typically a polypeptide, that binds, e.g., specifically, to a cell surface molecule on a cell, e.g., an immunosuppressive immune cell, e.g., a Treg. In some embodiments, the cell surface binder has sufficient sequence from a naturally occurring ligand of the cell surface molecule, that it can specifically bind the cell surface molecule (a cell surface molecule ligand). In some embodiments, the cell surface binding is an antibody molecule that binds, e.g., specifically binds, the cell surface molecule.
Donor specific targeting moiety, as that term is used herein, refers to a moiety, e.g., an antibody molecule, that as a component of a therapeutic compound, localizes the therapeutic compound preferentially to an implanted donor tissue, as opposed to tissue of a recipient. As a component of a therapeutic compound, the donor specific targeting moiety provides site-specific immune privilege for a transplant tissue, e.g., an organ, from a donor.
In some embodiments, a donor specific targeting moiety it binds to the product, e.g., a polypeptide product, of an allele present at a locus, which allele is not present at the locus in the (recipient) subject. In some embodiments, a donor specific targeting moiety binds to an epitope on product, which epitope is not present in the (recipient) subject.
In some embodiments, a donor specific targeting moiety, as a component of a therapeutic compound, preferentially binds to a donor target or antigen, e.g., has a binding affinity for the donor target that is greater for donor antigen or tissue, e.g., at least 2, 4, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, or 10,000 fold greater, than its affinity for than for subject antigen or tissue. In some embodiments, a donor specific targeting moiety, has a binding affinity for a product of an allele of a locus present in donor tissue (but not present in the subject) at least 2, 4, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, or 10,000 fold greater, than its affinity for the product of the allele of the locus present in the subject (which allele is not present in donor tissue). Affinity of a therapeutic compound of which the donor specific moiety is a component, can be measured in a cell suspension, e.g., the affinity for suspended cells having the allele is compared with its affinity for suspended cells not having the allele. In some embodiments, the binding affinity for the donor allele cells is below 10 nM. In some embodiments, the binding affinity for the donor allele cells is below 100 pM, 50 pM, or 10 pM.
In some embodiments, the specificity for a product of a donor allele is sufficient that when the donor specific targeting moiety is coupled to an immune-down regulating effector: i) immune attack of the implanted tissue, e.g., as measured by histological inflammatory response, infiltrating T effector cells, or organ function, in the clinical setting—e.g. creatinine for the kidney, is substantially reduced, e.g., as compared to what would be seen in an otherwise similar implant but lacking the donor specific targeting moiety is coupled to an immune-down regulating effector; and/or ii) immune function in the recipient, outside or away from the implanted tissue, is substantially maintained. In some embodiments, one or more of the following is seen: at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, peripheral blood lymphocyte counts are not substantially impacted, e.g., the level of T cells is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal, the level of B cells is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal, and/or the level of granuloctyes (PMNs) cells is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal, or the level of monocytes is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal; at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, the ex vivo proliferative function of PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) against non-disease relevant antigens is substantially normal or is within 70, 80, or 90% of normal; at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, the incidence or risk of risk of opportunistic infections and cancers associated with immunosuppression is not substantially increased over normal; or at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, the incidence or risk of risk of opportunistic infections and cancers associated with immunosuppression is substantially less than would be seen with standard of care, or non-targeted, immunosuppression. In some embodiments, the donor specific targeting moiety comprises an antibody molecule, a target specific binding polypeptide, or a target ligand binding molecule.
Elevated risk, as used herein, refers to the risk of a disorder in a subject, wherein the subject has one or more of a medical history of the disorder or a symptom of the disorder, a biomarker associated with the disorder or a symptom of the disorder, or a family history of the disorder or a symptom of the disorder.
Functional antibody molecule to an effector or inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule, as that term is used herein, refers to an antibody molecule that when present as the ICIM binding/modulating moiety of a multimerized therapeutic compound, can bind and agonize the effector or inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. In some embodiments, the anti-effector or inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule antibody molecule, when binding as a monomer (or binding when the therapeutic compound is not multimerized), to the effector or inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule, does not antagonize, substantially antagonize, prevent binding, or prevent substantial binding, of an endogenous counter ligand of the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule to inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. In some embodiments, the anti-effector or inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule antibody molecule when binding as a monomer (or binding when the therapeutic compound is not multimerized), to the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule, does not agonize or substantially agonize, the effector or inhibitory molecule.
ICIM binding/modulating moiety, as that term is used herein, refers to an effector binding/modulating moiety that, as part of a therapeutic compound, binds and agonizes a cell surface inhibitory molecule, e.g., an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule, e.g., PD-1, or binds or modulates cell signaling, e.g., binds a FCRL, e.g., FCRL1-6, or binds and antagonizes a molecule that promotes immune function.
IIC binding/modulating moiety, as that term is used herein, refers to an effector binding/modulating moiety that, as part of a therapeutic compound, binds an immunosuppressive immune cell. In some embodiments, the IIC binding/modulating moiety increases the number or concentration of an immunosuppressive immune cell at the binding site.
ICSM binding/modulating moiety, as that term is used herein, refers to an effector binding/modulating moiety that antagonizes an immune stimulatory effect of a stimulatory, e.g., co-stimulatory, binding pair. A stimulatory or co-stimulatory binding pair, as that term is used herein, comprises two members, 1) a molecule on the surface of an immune cell; and 2) the binding partner for that cell molecule, which may be an additional immune cell, or a non-immune cell. Ordinarily, upon binding of one member to the other, assuming other requirements are met, the member on the immune cell surfaces stimulates the immune cell, e.g., a costimulatory molecule, and an immune response is promoted. In situations where the costimulatory molecule and the costimulatory molecule counterstructure are both expressed on immune cells, bi-directional activation of both cells may occur. In an embodiment an ICSM binding/modulating moiety binds and antagonizes the immune cell expressed member of a binding pair. For example, it binds and antagonizes OX40. In another embodiment, an ICSM binding/modulating moiety binds and antagonizes the member of the binding pair that itself binds the immune cell expressed member, e.g., it binds and antagonizes OX40L. In either case, inhibition of stimulation or co-stimulation of an immune cell is achieved. In an embodiment the ICSM binding/modulating moiety decreases the number or the activity of an immunostimulating immune cell at the binding site.
An “inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand molecule,” as that term is used herein, refers to a polypeptide having sufficient inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand sequence, e.g., in the case of a PD-L1 molecule, sufficient PD-L1 sequence, that when present as an ICIM binding/modulating moiety of a multimerized therapeutic compound, can bind and agonize its cognate inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule, e.g., again in the case of a PD-L1 molecule, PD-1.
In some embodiments, the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand molecule, e.g., a PD-L1 molecule, when binding as a monomer (or binding when the therapeutic compound is not multimerized), to its cognate ligand, e.g., PD-1, does not antagonize or substantially antagonize, or prevent binding, or prevent substantial binding, of an endogenous inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand to the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. E.g., in the case of a PD-L1 molecule, the PD-L1 molecule does not antagonize binding of endogenous PD-L1 to PD-1.
In some embodiments, the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand when binding as a monomer, to its cognate inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule does not agonize or substantially agonize the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. By way of example, e.g., a PD-L1 molecule when binding to PD-1, does not agonize or substantially agonize PD-1.
In some embodiments, an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand molecule has at least 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100% sequence identity, or substantial sequence identity, with a naturally occurring inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand.
Exemplary inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand molecules include: a PD-L1 molecule, which binds to inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule PD-1, and in embodiments has at least 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100% sequence identity, or substantial sequence identity, with a naturally occurring PD-L1, e.g., the PD-L1 molecule comprising the sequence of
or an active fragment thereof; in some embodiments, the active fragment comprises residues 19 to 290 of the PD-L1 sequence; an HLA-G molecule, which binds to any of inhibitory immune checkpoint molecules KIR2DL4, LILRB1, and LILRB2, and in embodiments has at least 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100% sequence identity, or substantial sequence identity, with a naturally occurring HLA-G. Exemplary HLA-G sequences include, e.g., a mature form found in the sequence at GenBank P17693.1 RecName: Full=HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, alpha chain G; AltName: Full=HLA G antigen; AltName: Full=MHC class I antigen G; Flags: Precursor, or in the sequence
Inhibitory molecule counter ligand molecule, as that term is used herein, refers to a polypeptide having sufficient inhibitory molecule counter ligand sequence such that when present as the ICIM binding/modulating moiety of a multimerized therapeutic compound, can bind and agonize a cognate inhibitory molecule. In some embodiments, the inhibitory molecule counter ligand molecule, when binding as a monomer (or binding when the therapeutic compound is not multimerized), to the inhibitory molecule, does not antagonize, substantially antagonize, prevent binding, or prevent substantial binding, of an endogenous counter ligand of the inhibitory molecule to the inhibitory molecule. In some embodiments, the inhibitory molecule counter ligand molecule when binding as a monomer (or binding when the therapeutic compound is not multimerized), to the inhibitory molecule, does not agonize or substantially agonize, the inhibitory molecule.
Sequence identity, percentage identity, and related terms, as those terms are used herein, refer to the relatedness of two sequences, e.g., two nucleic acid sequences or two amino acid or polypeptide sequences. In the context of an amino acid sequence, the term “substantially identical” is used herein to refer to a first amino acid that contains a sufficient or minimum number of amino acid residues that are i) identical to, or ii) conservative substitutions of aligned amino acid residues in a second amino acid sequence such that the first and second amino acid sequences can have a common structural domain and/or common functional activity. For example, amino acid sequences that contain a common structural domain having at least about 85%, 90%. 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity to a reference sequence, e.g., a sequence provided herein.
In the context of nucleotide sequence, the term “substantially identical” is used herein to refer to a first nucleic acid sequence that contains a sufficient or minimum number of nucleotides that are identical to aligned nucleotides in a second nucleic acid sequence such that the first and second nucleotide sequences encode a polypeptide having common functional activity, or encode a common structural polypeptide domain or a common functional polypeptide activity. For example, nucleotide sequences having at least about 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity to a reference sequence, e.g., a sequence provided herein.
The term “functional variant” refers to polypeptides that have a substantially identical amino acid sequence to the naturally-occurring sequence, or are encoded by a substantially identical nucleotide sequence, and are capable of having one or more activities of the naturally-occurring sequence.
Calculations of homology or sequence identity between sequences (the terms are used interchangeably herein) are performed as follows.
To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences, or of two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment and non-homologous sequences can be disregarded for comparison purposes). In a preferred embodiment, the length of a reference sequence aligned for comparison purposes is at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, more preferably at least 50%, 60%, and even more preferably at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position (as used herein amino acid or nucleic acid “identity” is equivalent to amino acid or nucleic acid “homology”).
The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences.
The comparison of sequences and determination of percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. In a preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:444-453) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at http://www.gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In yet another preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences is determined using the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at http://www.gcg.com), using a NWSgapdna.CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. A particularly preferred set of parameters (and the one that should be used unless otherwise specified) are a Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extend penalty of 4, and a frameshift gap penalty of 5.
The percent identity between two amino acid or nucleotide sequences can be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller ((1989) CABIOS, 4:11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4.
The nucleic acid and protein sequences described herein can be used as a “query sequence” to perform a search against public databases to, for example, identify other family members or related sequences. Such searches can be performed using the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (version 2.0) of Altschul, et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST program, score=100, wordlength=12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to for example any a nucleic acid sequence provided herein. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score=50, wordlength=3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to protein molecules provided herein. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al., (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
As used herein, the term “hybridizes under low stringency, medium stringency, high stringency, or very high stringency conditions” describes conditions for hybridization and washing. Guidance for performing hybridization reactions can be found in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. (1989), 6.3.1-6.3.6, which is incorporated by reference. Aqueous and nonaqueous methods are described in that reference and either can be used. Specific hybridization conditions referred to herein are as follows: 1) low stringency hybridization conditions in 6× sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45° C., followed by two washes in 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at least at 50° C. (the temperature of the washes can be increased to 55° C. for low stringency conditions); 2) medium stringency hybridization conditions in 6×SSC at about 45° C., followed by one or more washes in 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 60° C.; 3) high stringency hybridization conditions in 6×SSC at about 45° C., followed by one or more washes in 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 65° C.; and preferably 4) very high stringency hybridization conditions are 0.5M sodium phosphate, 7% SDS at 65° C., followed by one or more washes at 0.2×SSC, 1% SDS at 65° C. Very high stringency conditions (4) are the preferred conditions and the ones that should be used unless otherwise specified.
It is understood that the molecules and compounds of the present embodiments may have additional conservative or non-essential amino acid substitutions, which do not have a substantial effect on their functions.
The term “amino acid” is intended to embrace all molecules, whether natural or synthetic, which include both an amino functionality and an acid functionality and capable of being included in a polymer of naturally-occurring amino acids. Exemplary amino acids include naturally-occurring amino acids; analogs, derivatives and congeners thereof; amino acid analogs having variant side chains; and all stereoisomers of any of any of the foregoing. As used herein the term “amino acid” includes both the D- or L-optical isomers and peptidomimetics. A “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). CD39 molecule, a CD73 molecule, a Cell surface molecule binder, Donor specific targeting moiety Effector ligand binding molecule, ICIM binding/modulating moiety IIC binding/modulating moiety, an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand molecule, Inhibitory molecule counter ligand molecule, SM binding/modulating moiety, or ICSM binding/modulating moiety.
SM binding/modulating moiety, as that term is used herein, refers to an effector binding/modulating moiety that, as part of a therapeutic compound, promotes an immunosuppressive local microenvironment, e.g., by providing in the proximity of the target, a substance that inhibits or minimizes attack by the immune system of the target. In some embodiments, the SM binding/modulating moiety comprises, or binds, a molecule that inhibits or minimizes attack by the immune system of the target. In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises an SM binding/modulating moiety that binds and accumulates a soluble substance, e.g., an endogenous or exogenous substance, having immunosuppressive function. In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises an SM binding/modulating moiety that binds and inhibits, sequesters, degrades or otherwise neutralizes a substance, e.g., a soluble substance, typically and endogenous soluble substance, that promotes immune attack. In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises an SM binding/modulating moiety that comprises an immune-suppressive substance, e.g. a fragment of protein known to be immunosuppressive. By way of example, an effector molecule binding moiety that binds, or comprises, a substance e.g., a CD39 molecule or a CD73 molecule, that depletes a component, that promotes immune effector cell function, e.g., ATP or AMP.
Specific targeting moiety, as that term is used herein, refers to donor specific targeting moiety or a tissue specific targeting moiety.
Subject, as that term is used herein, refers to a mammalian subject, e.g., a human subject. In some embodiments, the subject is a non-human mammal, e.g., a horse, dog, cat, cow, goat, or pig.
Target ligand binding molecule, as used herein, refers to a polypeptide that has sufficient sequence from a naturally occurring counter-ligand of a target ligand that it can bind the target ligand on a target tissue (e.g., donor tissue or subject target tissue) with sufficient specificity that it can serve as a specific targeting moiety. In some embodiments, it binds to target tissue or cells with at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 95% of the affinity of the naturally occurring counter-ligand. In some embodiments, it has at least 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100% sequence identity, or substantial sequence identity, with a naturally occurring counter-ligand for the target ligand.
Target site, as that term is used herein, refers to a site which contains the entity, e.g., epitope, bound by a targeting moiety. In some embodiments, the target site is the site at which immune privilege is established.
Tissue specific targeting moiety, as that term is used herein, refers to a moiety, e.g., an antibody molecule, that as a component of a therapeutic molecule, localizes the therapeutic molecule preferentially to a target tissue, as opposed to other tissue of a subject. As a component of a therapeutic compound, the tissue specific targeting moiety provides site-specific immune privilege for a target tissue, e.g., an organ or tissue undergoing or at risk for autoimmune attack. In some embodiments, a tissue specific targeting moiety binds to a product, e.g., a polypeptide product, which is not present outside the target tissue, or is present at sufficiently low levels that, at therapeutic concentrations of therapeutic molecule, unacceptable levels of immune suppression are absent or substantially absent. In some embodiments, a tissue specific targeting moiety binds to an epitope, which epitope is not present outside, or not substantially present outside, the target site.
In some embodiments, a tissue specific targeting moiety, as a component of a therapeutic compound, preferentially binds to a target tissue or target tissue antigen, e.g., has a binding affinity for the target tissue or antigen that is greater for target antigen or tissue, e.g., at least 2, 4, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 5,000, or 10,000 fold greater, than its affinity for than for non-target tissue or antigen present outside the target tissue. Affinity of a therapeutic compound of which the tissue specific moiety is a component, can be measured in a cell suspension, e.g., the affinity for suspended cells having the target antigen is compared with its affinity for suspended cells not having the target antigen. In some embodiments, the binding affinity for the target antigen bearing cells is below 10 nM.
In some embodiments, the binding affinity for the target antigen bearing cells is below 100 pM, 50 pM, or 10 pM. In some embodiments, the specificity for a target antigen is sufficient, that when the tissue specific targeting moiety is coupled to an immune-down regulating effector: i) immune attack of the target tissue, e.g., as measured by histological inflammatory response, infiltrating T effector cells, or organ function, in the clinical setting—e.g. creatinine for kidney, is substantially reduced, e.g., as compared to what would be seen in an otherwise similar implant but lacking the tissue specific targeting moiety is coupled to an immune-down regulating effector; and/or ii) immune function in the recipient, outside or away from the target tissue, is substantially maintained.
In some embodiments, one or more of the following is seen: at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, peripheral blood lymphocyte counts are not substantially impacted, e.g., the level of T cells is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal, the level of B cells is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal, and/or the level of granulocytes (PMNs) cells is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal, or the level of monocytes is within 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95% of normal 1; at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, the ex vivo proliferative function of PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) against non-disease relevant antigens is substantially normal or is within 70, 80, or 90% of normal; at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, the incidence or risk of risk of opportunistic infections and cancers associated with immunosuppression is not substantially increased over normal; or at therapeutic levels of therapeutic compound, the incidence or risk of risk of opportunistic infections and cancers associated with immunosuppression is substantially less than would be seen with standard of care, or non-targeted, immunosuppression. In some embodiments, the tissue specific targeting moiety comprises an antibody molecule. In some embodiments, the donor specific targeting moiety comprises an antibody molecule, a target specific binding polypeptide, or a target ligand binding molecule. In some embodiments, the tissue specific targeting moiety binds a product, or a site on a product, that is present or expressed exclusively, or substantially exclusively, on target tissue.
ICIM Binding/Modulating Moieties: Effector Binding/Modulating Moieties that Bind Inhibitory Receptors
Methods and compounds described herein provide for a therapeutic compound having an effector binding/modulating moiety comprising an ICIM binding/modulating moiety, that directly binds and activates an inhibitory receptor on the surface of an immune cell, e.g., to reduce or eliminate, or substantially eliminate, the ability of the immune cell to mediate immune attack. Coupling of the ICIM binding/modulating moiety to a targeting entity, promotes site-specific or local down regulation of the immune cell response, e.g., confined substantially to the locations having binding sites for the targeting moiety. Thus, normal systemic immune function is substantially retained. In some embodiments, an ICIM binding/modulating moiety comprises an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule counter ligand molecule, e.g., a natural ligand, or fragment of a natural ligand (e.g., PD-L1 or HLA-G) of the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. In some embodiments, an ICIM binding/modulating moiety comprises a functional antibody molecule, e.g., a functional antibody molecule comprising an scFv binding domain, that engages inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule.
In some embodiments, the ICIM binding/modulating moiety, comprising, e.g., a functional antibody molecule, or inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule ligand molecule, binds the inhibitory receptor but does not prevent binding of a natural ligand of the inhibitory receptor to the inhibitory receptor. In embodiments a format is used wherein a targeting moiety is coupled, e.g., fused, to an ICIM binding/modulating moiety, comprising, e.g., an scFv domain, and configured so that upon binding of an inhibitory receptor while in solution (e.g., in blood or lymph) (and presumably in a monomeric format), the therapeutic molecule: i) fails to agonize, or fails to substantially agonize (e.g., agonizes at less than 30, 20, 15, 10, or 5% of the level seen with a full agonizing molecule) the inhibitory receptor on the immune cell; and/or ii) fails to antagonize, or fails to substantially antagonize (e.g., antagonizes at less than 30, 20, 15, 10, or 5% of the level seen with a full antagonizing molecule) the inhibitory receptor on the immune cell. A candidate molecule can be evaluated for its ability to agonize or not agonize by its ability to either increase or decrease the immune response in an in vitro cell based assay wherein the target is not expressed, e.g., using an MLR-based assay (mixed lymphocyte reaction).
In some embodiments, candidate ICIM binding/modulating moieties can reduce, completely or substantially eliminate systemic immunosuppression and systemic immune activation. In some embodiments, the targeting domain of the therapeutic compound, when bound to target, will serve to cluster or multimerize the therapeutic compound on the surface of the tissue desiring immune protection. In some embodiments, the ICIM binding/modulating moiety, e.g., an ICIM binding/modulating moiety comprising a scFv domain, requires a clustered or multimeric state to be able to deliver an agonistic and immunosuppressive signal, or substantial levels of such signal, to local immune cells. This type of therapeutic can, for example, provide to a local immune suppression whilst leaving the systemic immune system unperturbed or substantially unperturbed. That is, the immune suppression is localized to where the suppression is needed as opposed to being systemic and not localized to a particular area or tissue type.
In some embodiments, upon binding to the target e.g., a target organ, tissue or cell type, the therapeutic compound coats the target, e.g., target organ, tissue or cell type. When circulating lymphocytes attempt to engage and destroy the target, this therapeutic will provide an ‘off’ signal only at, or to a greater extent at, the site of therapeutic compound accumulation.
A candidate therapeutic compound can be evaluated for the ability to bind, e.g., specifically bind, its target, e.g., by ELISA, a cell based assay, or surface plasmon resonance. This property should generally be maximized, as it mediates the site-specificity and local nature of the immune privilege. A candidate therapeutic compound can be evaluated for the ability to down regulate an immune cell when bound to target, e.g., by a cell based activity assay. This property should generally be maximized, as it mediates the site-specificity and local nature of the immune privilege. The level of down regulation effected by a candidate therapeutic compound in monomeric (or non-bound) form can be evaluated, e.g., by a cell based activity assay. This property should generally be minimized, as could mediate systemic down regulation of the immune system. The level of antagonism of a cell surface inhibitory molecule, e.g., an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule, effected by a candidate therapeutic compound in monomeric (or non-bound) form can be evaluated, e.g., by, e.g., by a cell based activity assay. This property should generally be minimized, as could mediate systemic unwanted activation of the immune system. Generally, the properties should be selected and balanced to produce a sufficiently robust site specific immune privilege without unacceptable levels of non-site specific agonism or antagonism of the inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule.
As provided for herein, in some embodiments, the effector molecule is a PD-1 binding moiety, such as a PD-1 agonist. Programmed cell death protein 1, (often referred to as PD-1) is a cell surface receptor that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. PD-1 is expressed on T cells and other cell types including, but not limited to, B cells, myeloid cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, T regulatory cells, iNK T cells. PD-1 binds two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, and is an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. Engagement with a cognate ligand, PD-L1 or PD-L2, in the context of engagement of antigen loaded MCH with the T Cell Receptor on a T cell minimizes or prevents the activation and function of T cells. The inhibitory effect of PD-1 can include both promoting apoptosis (programmed cell death) in antigen specific T-cells in lymph nodes and reducing apoptosis in regulatory T cells (suppressor T cells).
In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises an ICIM binding/modulating moiety which agonizes PD-1 inhibition. An ICIM binding/modulating moiety can include an inhibitory molecule counter ligand molecule, e.g., comprising a fragment of a ligand of PD-1 (e.g., a fragment of PD-L1 or PD-L2) or another moiety, e.g., a functional antibody molecule, comprising, e.g., an scFv domain that binds PD-1.
In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises a targeting moiety that preferentially binds a donor antigen not present in, or present in substantially lower levels in the subject, e.g., a donor antigen from Table 2, and is localized to donor graft tissue in a subject. In some embodiments, it does not bind, or does not substantially bind, other tissues. In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound can include a targeting moiety that is specific for HLA-A2 and specifically binds donor allograft tissue but does not bind, or does not substantially bind, host tissues. In some embodiments, the therapeutic compound comprises an ICIM binding/modulating moiety, e.g., an inhibitory molecule counter ligand molecule, e.g., comprising a fragment of a ligand of PD-1 (e.g., a fragment of PD-L1 or PD-L2) or another moiety, e.g., a functional antibody molecule, comprising, e.g., an scFv domain that binds PD-1, such that the therapeutic compound, e.g., when bound to target, activates PD-1. The therapeutic compound targets an allograft and provides local immune privilege to the allograft.
In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises a targeting moiety that is preferentially binds to an antigen of Table 3, and is localized to the target in a subject, e.g., a subject having an autoimmune disorder, e.g., an autoimmune disorder of Table 3. In some embodiments, it does not bind, or does not substantially bind, other tissues. In some embodiments, the therapeutic compound comprises an ICIM binding/modulating moiety, e.g., an inhibitory molecule counter ligand molecule, e.g., comprising a fragment of a ligand of PD-1 (e.g., a fragment of PD-L1 or PD-L2) or another moiety, e.g., a functional antibody molecule, comprising, e.g., an scFv domain that binds PD-1, such that the therapeutic compound, e.g., when bound to target, activates PD-1. The therapeutic compound targets a tissue subject to autoimmune attack and provides local immune privilege to the tissue.
PD-L1 and PDL2, or polypeptides derived therefrom, can provide candidate ICIM binding moieties. However, in monomer form, e.g., when the therapeutic compound is circulating in blood or lymph, this molecule could have an undesired effect of antagonizing the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway, and may only agonize the PD-1 pathway when clustered or multimerized on the surface of a target, e.g., a target organ. In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises an ICIM binding/modulating moiety comprising a functional antibody molecule, e.g., a scFv domain, that is inert, or substantially inert, to the PD-1 pathway in a soluble form but which agonizes and drives an inhibitory signal when multimerized (by the targeting moiety) on the surface of a tissue.
IIC Binding/Modulating Moieties: Effector Binding/Modulating Moieties that Recruit Immunosuppressive T Cells
In some embodiments, the composition or therapeutic compound that can be used, for example, to treat Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) comprises an effector binding/modulating moiety, e.g., an IIC binding/modulating moiety, that binds, activates, or retains immunosuppressive cells, e.g., immunosuppressive T cells, at the site mediated by the targeting moiety, providing site-specific immune privilege. The IIC binding/modulating moiety, e.g., an IIC binding/modulating moiety comprising an antibody molecule, comprising, e.g., an scFv binding domain, binds immunosuppressive cell types, e.g., Tregs, e.g., Foxp3+CD25+ Tregs. Organ, tissue or specific cell type tolerance is associated with an overwhelming increase of Tregs proximal and infiltrating the target organ; in embodiments, the methods and compounds described herein synthetically re-create and mimic this physiological state. Upon accumulation of Tregs, an immunosuppressive microenvironment is created that serves to protect the organ of interest from the immune system.
IL-2 Mutein Molecules: IL2 Receptor Binders that Activate Tregs
In some embodiments, the effector molecule is an IL-2 mutein molecule. As that term is used herein, refers to an IL2 variant that binds with high affinity to the CD25 (IL-2R alpha chain) and with low affinity to the other IL-2R signaling components CD122 (IL-2R beta) and CD132 (IL-2R gamma). Such an IL-2 mutein molecule preferentially activates Treg cells. In embodiments, either alone, or as a component of a therapeutic compound, an IL-2 mutein activates Tregs at least 2, 5, 10, or 100 fold more than cytotoxic or effector T cells. Exemplary IL-2 mutein molecules are described in WO2010085495, WO2016/164937, US2014/0286898A1, WO2014153111A2, WO2010/085495, cytotoxic WO2016014428A2, WO2016025385A1, and US20060269515. Muteins disclosed in these references that include additional domains, e.g., an Fc domain, or other domain for extension of half-life can be used in the therapeutic compounds and methods described herein without such additional domains. In another embodiment an IIC binding/modulating moiety comprises an IL-2 mutein, or active fragment thereof, coupled, e.g., fused, to another polypeptide, e.g., a polypeptide that extends in vivo half-life, e.g., an immunoglobulin constant region, or a multimer or dimer thereof, e.g., AMG 592. In an embodiment the therapeutic compound comprises the IL-2 portion of AMG 592. In an embodiment the therapeutic compound comprises the IL-2 portion but not the immunoglobulin portion of AMG 592. In some embodiments, the mutein does not comprise a Fc region. For some IL-2 muteins, the muteins are engineered to contain a Fc region because such region has been shown to increase the half-life of the mutein. In some embodiments, the extended half-life is not necessary for the methods described and embodied herein. In some embodiments, the Fc region that is fused with the IL-2 mutein comprises a N297 mutations, such as, but not limited to, N297A. In some embodiments, the Fc region that is fused with the IL-2 mutein does not comprise a N297 mutation, such as, but not limited to, N297A.
Although examples may be provided herein that demonstrate the use of a MAdCAM-PD-1 bispecific to treat Type 1 diabetes, the PD-1 agonist may be replaced with an IL-2 mutein. IL-2 mutein molecules that preferentially expand or stimulate Treg cells (over cytotoxic T cells) can be also used as an IIC binding/modulating moiety.
In some embodiments, IIC binding/modulating moiety comprises an IL-2 mutein molecule. As used herein, the term “IL-2 mutein molecule” or “IL-2 mutein” refers to an IL-2 variant that preferentially activates Treg cells. In some embodiments, either alone, or as a component of a therapeutic compound, an IL-2 mutein molecule activates Tregs at least 2, 5, 10, or 100 fold more than cytotoxic T cells. A suitable assay for evaluating preferential activation of Treg cells can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 9,580,486 at, for example, Examples 2 and 3, or in WO2016014428 at, for example, Examples 3, 4, and 5, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The sequence of mature IL-2 is

In some embodiments, the Fc Region comprises what is known as the LALA mutation. Using the Kabat numbering of the Fc region, this would correspond to L247A, L248A, and G250A. In some embodiments, using the EU numbering of the Fc region, the Fc region comprises a L234A mutation, a L235A mutation, and/or a G237A mutation. Regardless of the numbering system used, in some embodiments, the Fc portion can comprise mutations that correspond to these residues. In some embodiments, the Fe Region comprises N297G or N297A (kabat numbering) mutations. The Kabat numbering is based upon a full-length sequence, but would be used in a fragment based upon a traditional alignment used by one of skill in the art for the Fc region.
In some embodiments, the Fc Region comprises a sequence of:
In some embodiments, the IL-2 mutein is linked to the Fc Region. Non-limiting examples of linkers are glycine/serine linkers. For example, a glycine/serine linkers can be a sequence of GGGGSGGGGSGGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 22) or GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 30). This is simply a non-limiting example and the linker can have varying number of GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 23) or GGGGA repeats (SEQ ID NO: 29). In some embodiments, the linker comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 of the GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 23) or GGGGA repeats (SEQ ID NO: 29) repeats (repeats disclosed as SEQ ID NOS 1550-1551, respectively). In some embodiments, the linker is 10 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the linker is 5 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the linker is 15 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the linker is 20 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the linker is 25 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the linker is 30 amino acids in length.

A therapeutic compound comprises a specific targeting moiety functionally associated with an effector binding/modulating moiety. The targeting moiety can be one that, for example, binds to MAdCAM. In some embodiments, the effector moiety is a PD-1 agonist or an IL-2 mutein. In some embodiments, the specific targeting moiety and effector binding/modulating moiety are linked to one another by a covalent or noncovalent bond, e.g., a covalent or non-covalent bond directly linking the one to the other. In other embodiments, a specific targeting moiety and effector binding/modulating moiety are linked, e.g., covalently or noncovalently, through a linker moiety. E.g., in the case of a fusion polypeptide, a polypeptide sequence comprising the specific targeting moiety and a polypeptide sequence can be directly linked to one another or linked through one or more linker sequences. In some embodiments, the linker moiety comprises a polypeptide. Linkers are not, however, limited to polypeptides. In some embodiments, a linker moiety comprises other backbones, e.g., a non-peptide polymer, e.g., a PEG polymer. In some embodiments, a linker moiety can comprise a particle, e.g., a nanoparticle, e.g., a polymeric nanoparticle. In some embodiments, a linker moiety can comprise a branched molecule, or a dendrimer. However, in embodiments where the effector binding/modulating moiety comprises an ICIM binding/modulating moiety (which binds an effector like PD-1) structures that result in clustering in the absence of target binding should be avoided as they may cause clustering in the absence of target binding. Thus in embodiments, the therapeutic compound has a structure, e.g., the copies of an ICIM are sufficiently limited, such that clustering in the absence of target binding is minimized or substantially eliminated, or eliminated, or is sufficiently minimized that substantial systemic immune suppression does not occur.
In some embodiments, a therapeutic compound comprises a polypeptide comprising a specific targeting moiety covalently or non-covalently conjugated to an effector binding/modulating moiety. In some embodiments, a therapeutic molecule comprises a fusion protein having comprising a specific targeting moiety fused, e.g., directly or through a linking moiety comprising one or more amino acid residues, to an effector binding/modulating moiety. In some embodiments, a therapeutic molecule comprises a polypeptide comprising a specific targeting moiety linked by a non-covalent bond or a covalent bond, e.g., a covalent bond other than a peptide bond, e.g., a sulfhydryl bond, to an effector binding/modulating moiety.

Therapeutic compounds disclosed herein can, for example, comprise a plurality of effector binding/modulating and specific targeting moieties. Any suitable linker or platform can be used to present the plurality of moieties. The linker is typically coupled or fused to one or more effector binding/modulating and targeting moieties.
In some embodiments, two (or more) linkers associate, either covalently or non-covalently, e.g., to form a hetero or homo-dimeric therapeutic compound. E.g., the linker can comprise an Fc region and two Fc regions associate with one another. In some embodiments of a therapeutic compound comprising two linker regions, the linker regions can self-associate, e.g., as two identical Fc regions. In some embodiments of a therapeutic compound comprising two linker regions, the linker regions are not capable of, or not capable of substantial, self-association, e.g., the two Fc regions can be members of a knob and hole pair.

The antibodies, can be in a scFv format, which are also illustrated in a non-limiting embodiment in Table 6.
In some embodiments, the MAdCAM antibody is selected from the following table, which can be in a IgG format as illustrated in Table 7.
In some embodiments, the antibody comprises the CDRs of Clone ID: 6, Clone ID: 75, or Clone ID: 79 of Table 7.
The IgG and scFv formats illustrated herein are simply non-limiting examples. The CDRs provided herein can be placed in different formats, including different VH and VL/VK formats and still be able to bind to MAdCAM.
Although the CDRs are illustrated in the tables provided herein, there are other ways to annotate or identify CDRs. For example, in some embodiments, the HCDR2 can have an extra amino acid at the N-terminus. For example, for the HCDR2 of Clone 6 the table indicates that it has a sequence of: SRLINSYGTSTTYA (SEQ ID NO: 91) However, in some embodiments, the HCDR2 has a sequence of VSRINSYGTSTTYA (SEQ ID NO: 629), which is shown with an extra residue, a valine, at the N-terminus of the HCDR2. The valine is clearly illustrated in VH peptide of the tables provided herein. Therefore, in some embodiments, the HCDR2 comprises one additional amino acid immediately to the N-terminus of the HCDR2 listed in the table. The residue would be the residue that is immediately to the N-terminus of the HCDR2 found in the VH sequence provided for in the table in the same row. One of skill in the art with this information could immediately envisage the HCDR2 peptide sequence that has the additional amino acid residue immediately to the N-terminus of the HCDR2 listed in the table. These embodiments are sufficiently described and do not require application to list each of these different annotations and one of skill in the art with the guidance and description provided herein could write them out individually without any undue experimentation.
Similarly, the HCDR3 can exclude the cysteine residue. Each of the HCDR3 polypeptides provided for in Tables 6 and 7 begins with a cysteine residue. In some embodiments, the HCDR3 does not include the cysteine. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the HCDR3 does not have the last C-terminal residue illustrated in Table 6 and 7 provided for herein. Therefore, in some embodiments, the HCDR3 does not have the cysteine and/or the last C-terminal residue illustrated in the tables. One of skill in the art with this information could immediately envisage the HCDR3 peptide sequence that does not have the cysteine and/or the last C-terminal residue illustrated in the tables. These embodiments are sufficiently described and do not require application to list each of these different annotations and one of skill in the art with the guidance and description provided herein could write them out individually without any undue experimentation.
In some embodiments, the light chain CDR2 can have one or two extra amino acid residues at the N-terminus. These additional residues would be those that are immediately to the N-terminus of the light chain CDR2 (LCDR2) present in the VL/VK chain provided for herein, in the same row as the CDRs that are listed. For example, the LCDR2 of Clone 6 is provided as GASSLQS (SEQ ID NO: 87), but in some embodiments could be IYGASSLQS (SEQ ID NO: 630) or YGASSLQS (SEQ ID NO: 631).

In another aspect, the present embodiments provide compositions, e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable compositions, which include a therapeutic compound described herein, formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like that are physiologically compatible.
The carrier can be suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, parenteral, rectal, local, ophthalmic, topical, spinal or epidermal administration (e.g. by injection or infusion). As used herein, the term “carrier” means a diluent, adjuvant, or excipient with which a compound is administered. In some embodiments, pharmaceutical carriers can also be liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. The pharmaceutical carriers can also be saline, gum acacia, gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, urea, and the like. In addition, auxiliary, stabilizing, thickening, lubricating and coloring agents can be used. The carriers can be used in pharmaceutical compositions comprising the therapeutic compounds provided for herein.
The compositions and compounds of the embodiments provided for herein may be in a variety of forms. These include, for example, liquid, semi-solid and solid dosage forms, such as liquid solutions (e.g., injectable and infusible solutions), dispersions or suspensions, liposomes and suppositories. The preferred form depends on the intended mode of administration and therapeutic application. Typical compositions are in the form of injectable or infusible solutions. In some embodiments, the mode of administration is parenteral (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular). In some embodiments, the therapeutic molecule is administered by intravenous infusion or injection. In another embodiment, the therapeutic molecule is administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. In another embodiment, the therapeutic molecule is administered locally, e.g., by injection, or topical application, to a target site. The phrases “parenteral administration” and “administered parenterally” as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, epidural and intrasternal injection and infusion.
Therapeutic compositions typically should be sterile and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. The composition can be formulated as a solution, microemulsion, dispersion, liposome, or other ordered structure suitable to high therapeutic molecule concentration. Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound (i.e., therapeutic molecule) in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle that contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying that yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. The proper fluidity of a solution can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent that delays absorption, for example, monostearate salts and gelatin.
As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the route and/or mode of administration will vary depending upon the desired results. In certain embodiments, the active compound may be prepared with a carrier that will protect the compound against rapid release, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants, transdermal patches, and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Many methods for the preparation of such formulations are patented or generally known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Sustained and Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems, J. R. Robinson, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1978.
In certain embodiments, a therapeutic compound can be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. The compound (and other ingredients, if desired) may also be enclosed in a hard or soft shell gelatin capsule, compressed into tablets, or incorporated directly into the subject's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. To administer a compound by other than parenteral administration, it may be necessary to coat the compound with, or co-administer the compound with, a material to prevent its inactivation. Therapeutic compositions can also be administered with medical devices known in the art.
Dosage regimens are adjusted to provide the optimum desired response (e.g., a therapeutic response). For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage.
Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects to be treated; each unit contains a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of sensitivity in individuals.
An exemplary, non-limiting range for a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of a therapeutic compound is 0.1-30 mg/kg, more preferably 1-25 mg/kg. Dosages and therapeutic regimens of the therapeutic compound can be determined by a skilled artisan. In certain embodiments, the therapeutic compound is administered by injection (e.g., subcutaneously or intravenously) at a dose of about 1 to 40 mg/kg, e.g., 1 to 30 mg/kg, e.g., about 5 to 25 mg/kg, about 10 to 20 mg/kg, about 1 to 5 mg/kg, 1 to 10 mg/kg, 5 to 15 mg/kg, 10 to 20 mg/kg, 15 to 25 mg/kg, or about 3 mg/kg. The dosing schedule can vary from e.g., once a week to once every 2, 3, or 4 weeks. In one embodiment, the therapeutic compound is administered at a dose from about 10 to 20 mg/kg every other week. The therapeutic compound can be administered by intravenous infusion at a rate of more than 20 mg/min, e.g., 20-40 mg/min, and typically greater than or equal to 40 mg/min to reach a dose of about 35 to 440 mg/m2, typically about 70 to 310 mg/m2, and more typically, about 110 to 130 mg/m2. In embodiments, the infusion rate of about 110 to 130 mg/m2 achieves a level of about 3 mg/kg. In other embodiments, the therapeutic compound can be administered by intravenous infusion at a rate of less than 10 mg/min, e.g., less than or equal to 5 mg/min to reach a dose of about 1 to 100 mg/m2, e.g., about 5 to 50 mg/m2, about 7 to 25 mg/m2, or, about 10 mg/m2. In some embodiments, the therapeutic compound is infused over a period of about 30 min. It is to be noted that dosage values may vary with the type and severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions, and that dosage ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed composition.
The pharmaceutical compositions may include a “therapeutically effective amount” or a “prophylactically effective amount” of a therapeutic molecule. A “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic molecule may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the therapeutic compound to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of a therapeutic molecule is outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. A “therapeutically effective dosage” preferably inhibits a measurable parameter, e.g., immune attack at least about 20%, more preferably by at least about 40%, even more preferably by at least about 60%, and still more preferably by at least about 80% relative to untreated subjects. The ability of a compound to inhibit a measurable parameter, e.g., immune attack, can be evaluated in an animal model system predictive of efficacy in transplant rejection or autoimmune disorders. Alternatively, this property of a composition can be evaluated by examining the ability of the compound to inhibit, such inhibition in vitro by assays known to the skilled practitioner.
A “prophylactically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount will be less than the therapeutically effective amount.
Also within the scope of the embodiments is a kit comprising a therapeutic compound described herein. The kit can include one or more other elements including: instructions for use; other reagents, e.g., a label, a therapeutic agent, or an agent useful for chelating, or otherwise coupling, a therapeutic molecule to a label or other therapeutic agent, or a radioprotective composition; devices or other materials for preparing a therapeutic molecule for administration; pharmaceutically acceptable carriers; and devices or other materials for administration to a subject.

Recombinant Human MAdCAM and alpha4beta7-positive Hut-78 T cells. 96 well plates were coated with 2.5 ug/mL recombinant human MAdCAM-Fc in PBS overnight at 4 C. Plated were blocked with DMEM containing 20% FBS for 30 minutes at 37° C., and MIAB210 (control), PRNT1, MIAB197, and a control molecule were captured for 1 hour at 37° C. in PBS. Hut-78 cells were incubated in 20% FBS DMEM supplemented with 1 mM MnCl2 for 1 hour at 37° C., and the cells were added to plates for 1 hour at 37° C. Plated were washed with PBS supplemented with 1 mM MnCl2 3 times, followed by 100 uL of cell titer glo. Plates were shaken for 2 minutes, and incubated at room temperature for another 10 minutes. Luminescence was measured and revealed lack of inhibition of MAdCAM and alpha4beta7 interaction. Optimized MAdCAM-IL-2M bi-specifics do not block MAdCAM-alpha4beta7 interaction in vitro and therefore should not interfere with the trafficking of alpha4beta7-positive T cells in vivo.
Parental CHO cells or CHO cells over-expressing human MAdCAM or murine MAdCAM were seeded onto wells of a 96 well plate (Corning) overnight. After washing 3 times with F12+10% FBS media, the plate was blocked for 1 hour with 5 uM whole human IgG. 10 nM parental MAdCAM-IL-2M bi-specifics PRNT1 or optimized variants MIAB204 and MIAB197 were captured for 1 hour. After washing 2 times with F12+10% FBS media, freshly-isolated human PBMCs were stimulated for 60 minutes with captured IL-2MM bispecifics. Cells were then fixed for 10 minutes with BD Cytofix, permeabilized sequentially with BD Perm III, and BioLegend FOXP3 permeabilization buffer, blocked with human serum and stained for 30 minutes with antibodies against phospho-STAT5 A488, CD25 PE, FOXP3 AF647 and CD4 PerCP Cy5.5, CD3 BV421, CD56 BV785 and acquired on an Attune NXT with plate loader. PRNT1, MIAB204, and MIAB197 showed P-STAT5-positive Tregs. Accordingly, PRNT1, MIAB204, and MIAB197 selectively activate Tregs. PRNT1, MIAB204, and MIAB197 selectively induced P-STAT5 phosphorylation on primary Tregs versus Teff or NK cells when tethered to human/mouse MAdCAM expressing CHO cells.
The pTT5 vectors containing the full length IgG1 heavy with C-terminally fused human IL-2 mutant and light chain encoding MIAB211 (control IgG1 mAb) were co-transfected at equimolar ratios into HEK cells. After 5-7 days, cell culture supernatants expressing MIAB211 (control IgG1 mAb) were harvested, and clarified by centrifugation and filtration through a 0.22 μm filtration device. MIAB211, was captured on Mab Select column. The column was washed with PBS pH 7.4 and the captured protein was eluted using 0.1M glycine pH 2.5, with neutralization using a tenth volume of 1M Tris pH 8.0. The protein was buffer exchanged into PBS pH 7.4, and analyzed by size exclusion chromatography on an Agilent BioAdvance SEC 300 A column. MIAB211 (control IgG1 mAb) was aggregated with only 67% monodispersed after ProA purification as shown by size exclusion chromatography. Additional polishing procedures like cation exchange improved the monodispersity to 86% which is not suitable for assays. V69A and Q74P are beneficial in improving solubility of molecule.

Thermal stability of PMAB58, PMAB53, PMAB56, PMAB59, PMAB54, and PMAB55 was evaluated as described above. The data showed that the onset of melting temperature for the M to L mutants, such as PMAB56 and PMAB55, was very similar to their respective parental clones. The M to I mutants, such as PMAB53 and PMAB54, had a higher Tm than the parental and M to L mutant, however the difference in Tm is not significant. The T aggregation onset was measured at 493 nm and produced similar values for PMAB58, PMAB53, and PMAB56; and PMAB59, PMAB54, and PMAB55. Overall, there was no significant difference in the temperature of aggregation onset. Freeze thaw stability was slightly better for the M to L mutants when compared to the initial POI, and the aSEC data showed that the initial peak heights were lower for the M to L mutants in comparison to the parental clone. Accordingly, the optimized PD-1-MAdCAM molecules are thermally stable.
Plates were coated overnight with dsDNA and human insulin in 1×PBS. Plates were blocked with 1×PBS with 1% BSA. Antibody binding was tested at 100 nM. Sample signal was normalized to the background signal (coated wells with 2° antibody only).

The Y105D mutant showed improved lower Insulin polyreativity scores than other mutants. Polyreactive binding of the Y103G, Y105D, and Y105K mutants to dsDNA and human insulin shows that the Y105D hydrophobic patch mutation decreases polyreactive binding to human insulin compared to the parental antibody
Plates were coated with 1% Baculovirus particle (BVP) or HEK293 cell lysate (HCL) in carbonate buffer pH 9.5, 4° C. overnight. Plates were blocked with 1×PBS with 2% BSA. Antibodies were tested in triplicate for binding to BVP or HCL at 150, 50, 16.7 and 5.6 μg/mL. Signal was normalized to background signal (coated wells with 2° antibody only). BVP and HCL polyreactivity scores were lower for the PMAB16 antibody as compared to parental PMAB1 when used at 50 ug/mL or 16.7 ug/mL concentrations. Accordingly, the optimized PMAB16 antibody has decreased polyreactivity to BVP or HCL compared to the parent clone.
The sample was diluted in a matrix of methyl cellulose, 4 M urea, 3-10 pharmalytes (4%), 5 mM Arginine, and pI markers (indicated below).

All isoelectric peaks for PMAB16 show the pI greater than 8. PMAB16 is considered good for manufacturing.
Antibodies were affinity purified and buffer exchanged into phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 containing 8.5% sucrose and 100 mM NaCl. Each antibody was then concentrated using a centrifugal concentrator with samples taken at the indicated concentrations for analysis by analytical SEC. The optimized MAdCAM clone PMAB16 showed a decrease in concentration dependent aggregation compared to the parental PMAB1 antibody sequence.
Antibodies were concentrated using a centrifugal concentrator to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL. Samples were flash frozen at the indicated time points and aggregation was measured by analytical SEC. The optimized MAdCAM antibody PMAB16 showed good storage stability over 28 days at 4° C. PMAB16 stored in the accelerated stress condition of 37° C. also showed good stability out to 21 days. Accordingly, PMAB16 has good storage stability.
The samples were submitted to the Nano DSC system (TA Instrument) for analysis. A temperature ramp of 1° C./min was performed with monitoring from 25° C. to 100° C. as described above. The data showed the Tm of PMAB16 to be lower than that of the parental molecule PMAB1, and improved storage stability at 4° C. and temperature dependent aggregation.
Sample was denatured and reduced by guanidine and DTT and deglycosylated by PNGase F before SEC separation and mass spectrometry. Mass spectroscopy showed two peaks for the PMAB16 sample, with values of 75542 Da for the peak 1 and 24258 for the peak 2, consisted with the expected mass.
Sample was prepared in reducing labeling buffer before electrophoresis using the LabChip GXII system. The data showed three peaks with fluorescence values of 26.85% for peak 1, 0.76% for peak 2, and 72.39% for peak 3, consistent with expected chain compositions for PMAB16.
Parental CHO cells or CHO cells expressing MAdCAM-1 were incubated with the indicated test articles. Bound test articles were detected by addition of a fluorescently conjugated anti-human IgG antibody. Optimized MAdCAM clones (PMAB18, PMAB59 and PMAB58) showed similar binding to the parental molecule (PMAB57).
MAdCAM-expressing CHO cells were allowed to adhere and form a monolayer. Test articles were added at the indicated concentrations and allowed to bind for 1 h at 37° C. All wells were washed, and PD-1 reporter Jurkat cells were added. Jurkat cells were incubated with test article loaded CHO cells for 2 h at 37° C. PMAB18 showed improved tethered PD-1 agonist activity as compared to the parent antibody.
Fresh frozen mesenteric lymph node replicates from a 12-week BALB/c mouse were sectioned at 5 μm, fixed with acetone, blocked with blockade buffer solution for ten minutes room temperature and incubated with 1 and 10 nM titrations of test articles overnight at 4-degree Celsius. Tissues were then stained with anti-mouse MAdCAM and anti-human IgG Fc for two hours room temperature, DAPI counterstained and mounted and imaged with confocal microscopy. Clones including optimized MAdCAM (PMAB58 and PMAB18) co-localized with MAdCAM-1 expressing structures similarly to the parental clones (PMAB1 and PMAB57).
Xenogeneic graft versus host disease was induced by the transfer of human PBMC into immunodeficient mice. Beginning 10 days after cell transfer, mice were treated subcutaneously weekly with PMAB1, PMAB58, or vehicle. PMAB58 improved probability of survival to over 80 days, while the median survival time for PMAB1 was 49 days, and 41 days for vehicle. Accordingly, PMAB58 improves survival time in GVHD.
Immunocompromised NSG mice were engrafted with human PBMCs 10 days prior to treatment. Mice were treated weekly with MADCAM-PD1 bispecific (3 mg/kg) for three weeks and sacrificed. Small intestine was homogenized, normalized for total protein concentration and cytokines/chemokines were measured using the O-link proteomic platform. Data represent geometric mean and geometric standard deviation of 8 animals (log 2 scale). A student's t-test was performed on all markers; CLC4, p=0.005; IL17A, p=0.04; CXCL10, p=0.06; IFNG, p=0.03. (NPX, normalized protein expression) The vehicle data showed geoMean values of 257.9 for CCL4, 4.4 for IL17A, 14.1 for CXCL10, and 8812 for IFNG; while PMAB18 showed geoMean values of 43.8 for CCL4, 2.1 for IL17A, 3.9 for CXCL10, and 1899 for IFNG. PMAB18 reduces CCL4, IL17A, CXCL10 and IFNG in small intestine tissue from Xenogeneic graft-versus-host-disease mice. In conclusion, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokines in target tissue suggest therapeutic effect of the MADCAM-PD1 agonist bispecific.
Balb/c mice were SC dosed with 1 mg/kg of PMAB18 or PMAB58. Intact PMAB18 and PMAB58 was detected in gut tissue 4 weeks after subcutaneous administration into Balb/c mice (1 mg/kg dose), revealing desirable extended PK in tissues. PMAB18 and PMAB58 remained intact and exhibited good drug like properties in systemic circulation as shown in
Using a phage display library human/mouse/cyno cross reactive antibodies, specific for PD-1 or MAdCAM, were isolated. PD-1 antibodies were screened for their ability to antagonize or agonize the PD-1 pathway. A single triple-species cross reactive clone that was specifically agonistic with no evidence of antagonism was identified and incorporated into the final bifunctional antibody. Similarly, a triple species cross reactive non-blocking anti-MAdCAM antibody was identified using a multi-tiered screening approach. These two antibodies were combined to generate an IgG-scFv fusion with the IgG component comprising the anti-PD1 moiety comprising and the scFv moiety comprising the anti-MAdCAM moiety. NOD mice at various ages (10-16 weeks) were treated IV or SC with the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule or vehicle alone. At multiple time points post treatment tissues (MLN, PLN, Pancreas) were harvested to assess for in vivo localization of test article by probing with anti-human IgG antibody specific for the Fc portion of the bifunctional antibody. At multiple time points post treatment cells were isolated from lymph nodes or spleen by mechanical dissociation or from the pancreas by intraductal injection of collagenase IV solution. Isolated cells were stained with a cocktail of antibodies to assess expression of the following markers; CD3, CD4, CD8, Live Dead, CD44, PD-1, Tim3 and IGRP-tet. For efficacy studies 6 week-old mice were treated once with a 500 ug bolus of anti-PD-L1 antibody (10F.9G2, an anti-PD1 antibody) and 250 ug every two days after. Test article was administered at day 0 and day 7 via sub-cutaneous injection.
Starting at 13 weeks of age bifunctional antibody could be detected concurrently with MAdCAM expressing structures in the mesenteric lymph node, pancreatic lymph node and pancreas after a single subcutaneous injection. Treatment with the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule was able to specifically induce Tim3 on IGRP-tet+ cells which peaked at 4 days post treatment and was undetectable after 7 days. Additionally, the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule treatment led to a significant reduction of PD-1 on bulk CD8 T cells as well as on IGRP-tet+ cells. In an accelerated PD-L1 blockade mediated model of NOD hyperglycemia simultaneous administration of the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule with PD-L1 blocking antibody resulted in significantly delayed induction of hyperglycemia compared to blockade alone. Accordingly, the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule modulates antigen specific and bulk CD8 T cells in pre-hyperglycemic NOD mice and is able to delay PD-L1 blockade accelerated insulitis/hyperglycemia in NOD mice.
Antibodies specific for MAdCAM-1 or PD-1 were screened for binding to human cynomolgus monkey and mouse MAdCAM-1 or PD-1. Antibodies were also tested for their ability to interfere with MAdCAM-1/α4β7 integrin binding (C) or PD-1/PD-L1 binding (D). Triple species non-blocking clones were selected for further development. Data showed multiple clones capable of binding to human cynomolgus monkey and mouse MAdCAM-1 or PD-1.
A library of anti-PD-1 antibodies was screened for their ability to interfere with PD-L1/PD-1 signaling and their ability to activate PD-1 signaling when immobilized. Agonist antibodies that were not antagonists were selected for further development. Data showed several clones that did not interfere with endogenous PD-1/PD-L1 interactions in vitro, but activated PD-1 signaling when tethered to a surface in vitro. Molecules capable of inducing PD-1 agonist response were selected for further development.
Thirteen week old female NOD mice were subcutaneously dosed with a 3 mg/kg dose of the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule. Twenty four hours after treatment the mesenteric lymph node, pancreatic lymph node, and pancreas were harvested, and flash frozen in OCT. 5 uM sections were dual stained with anti-MAdCAM (MECA367, an anti-MAdCAM antibody) and anti-huIgG (to detect the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule) and imaged on a confocal microscope. Data showed localization of the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule to mesencetrinc lymph node, pancreatic lymph node, and pancreas (
Sixteen week old NOD mice were treated on day 0 with a SC 3 mg/kg dose of the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule, untethered PD-1 agonist, or vehicle alone and sacrificed at the indicated time points. FACS analysis was run after IGRP tetramer pulldown on pool peripheral lymphoid organs. Data showed increase in % Tet+ CD44+ PD-1lo at 2 and 4 days after treatment with the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule, and an increase in % IGRP+ Tim3+ at 2 and 4 days following treatment with the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule. The anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule can regulate immune activation markers.
Six-week old female NOD mice were dosed IP with 500 ug on day 0, and every 2 days with 250 ug of PD-L1 blocking antibody (10F.9G2, an anti-PD1 antibody). One group of mice was also dosed with a 1 mg/kg SC dose of the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule at day 0 and day 7. Blood glucose was monitored every two days by tail vein stick. Data showed delayed onset of PD-L1 blockade mediated NOD T1D after treatment with the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule and PD-L1 blockade. Additionally, treatment with the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule and PD-L1 blockade resulted in glucose levels that were within the levels of vehicle treated mice, and lower than mice treated with the PD-L1 blockade alone. Accordingly, the anti-PD-1-MAdCAM bispecific molecule delays PD-L1 blockade mediated NOD T1D.
