SEQUENCE LISTING

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 May 24, 2022, is named 56884-768_301_SL.txt and is 1,359,037 bytes in size.


BACKGROUND

Inflammatory disease, fibrostenotic disease, and fibrotic disease pose a significant health burden worldwide due to the vast number of individuals affected, heterogeneous disease pathogenesis, and varied clinical manifestations. One such disease is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which has two common forms, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IBD comprises chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Incidences of IBD are prevalent, affecting nearly three million individuals in the United States alone.


Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may occur in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. EIMs may develop prior to the onset of colonic symptoms or after the onset of colonic symptoms. They commonly affect tissues including the skin, joints, eyes, or other organs. Some EIMs are associated with active intestinal inflammation and some EIMs occur independent of intestinal inflammation. Examples of EIMs include ankylosing spondylitis, sacroiliitis, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum, psoriasis, a manifestation in the eye, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.


SUMMARY

Provided herein are genotypes associated with and/or predictive of the likelihood that a patient has or will develop an extra-intestinal manifestation (EIM) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In certain embodiments, genotypes described herein are also associated with IBD, such as Crohn's disease (CD). Further provided are methods for predicting the likelihood that a patient has or will develop an EIM based on the genotype of patient. Additional methods include treating a patient for IBD based on the patient's genotype. The patient may be diagnosed with, or suspected of having, IBD, such as CD. As an example treatment method, patients exhibiting a genotype associated with a particular EIM may be treated with an IBD therapeutic that may also prevent or treat the EIM. As another example, patients exhibiting a genotype associated with a particular EIM may be treated with a therapeutic that will reduce the likelihood of developing the EIM.


Non-limiting practical applications of the associations between the genotypes described herein and incidences of clinical and subclinical phenotypes in certain populations of individuals are provided herein. For example, some genotypes of the present disclosure can be used to predict a risk that a subject will develop ankylosing spondylitis, sacroiliitis, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum, psoriasis, a manifestation in the eye, or primary sclerosing cholangitis, or a combination thereof. The genotypes are also useful to predict whether a patient diagnosed with some form of an inflammatory, fibrotic or fibrostenotic disease will develop a severe form of the disease, such as a subclinical phenotype thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Provided herein are methods, systems, and kits for identifying a subject who may develop an extra-intestinal manifestation based on the subject's genotype. The subject may be a patient, who may be diagnosed with an inflammatory disease, a fibrostenotic disease, or a fibrotic disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or Crohn's disease (CD). The subject may not be a patient, but may be suspected of having the inflammatory disease, the fibrostenotic disease, or the fibrotic disease. The genotype may, in some cases, be useful for characterizing the inflammatory fibrostenotic, or fibrotic disease or condition, as mediated by TL1A. The subject, in some embodiments, is treated by administering the therapeutic agent (e.g., anti-TL1A antibody) to the subject, provided the genotype is detected. In some cases, identifying the subject as being suitable for treatment with the inhibitor of activity or expression is required in order to administer the inhibitor to the subject.


Referring to FIG. 1, the methods, systems and kits of the present disclosure involve, in some embodiments, the steps of providing a buccal swab sample from a subject 101 (although other biological samples and methods may be substituted), optionally purifying DNA from the sample by processing the sample 102, assaying the optionally processed sample to detect genotypes of at least one genetic locus in the sample 103, processing the genotypes to produce a EIM profile 104, and selecting a therapy to treat a disease or disorder of the subject based on the EIM profile 105.


The genotypes described herein are detected using suitable genotyping devices (e.g., array, sequencing). In some instances, a sample is obtained from the subject or patient indirectly or directly. In some instances, the sample may be obtained by the subject. In other instances, the sample may be obtained by a healthcare professional, such as a nurse or physician. The sample may be derived from virtually any biological fluid or tissue containing genetic information, such as blood.


The subject disclosed herein can be a mammal, such as for example a mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, non-human primate, or farm animal. In some instances, the subject is human. In some instances, the subject is suffering from a symptom related to a disease or condition disclosed herein (e.g., abdominal pain, cramping, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, fever, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, dehydration, and malnutrition, anemia, or ulcers).


In some embodiments, the subject is susceptible to, or is inflicted with, thiopurine toxicity, or a disease caused by thiopurine toxicity (such as pancreatitis or leukopenia). The subject may experience, or is suspected of experiencing, non-response or loss-of-response to a standard treatment (e.g., anti-TNF alpha therapy, anti-a4-b7 therapy (vedolizumab), anti-IL12p40 therapy (ustekinumab), Thalidomide, or Cytoxin).


The disease or condition disclosed herein may be an inflammatory disease, a fibrostenotic disease, or a fibrotic disease. In some instances, the disease or the condition is a TL1A-mediated disease or condition. The term, “TL1A-mediated disease or condition” refers to a disease or a condition pathology or pathogenesis that is driven, at least in part, by TL1A signaling. In some instances, the disease or the condition is immune-mediated disease or condition, such as those mediated by TL1A.


In some embodiments the disease or the condition is an inflammatory disease or disorder that is mediated, at least in part, by TL1A signaling.

In certain embodiments, after extraction the nucleic acid is stored in water, Tris buffer, or Tris-EDTA buffer before subsequent analysis. In an exemplary embodiment, the nucleic acid material is extracted in water. In some cases, extraction does not comprise nucleic acid purification. In certain embodiments, RNA may be extracted from cells using RNA extraction techniques including, for example, using acid phenol/guanidine isothiocyanate extraction (RNAzol B; Biogenesis), RNeasy RNA preparation kits (Qiagen) or PAXgene (PreAnalytix, Switzerland).


In some embodiments, methods of detecting a presence, absence, or level of a target protein (e.g., biomarker) in the sample obtained from the subject involve detecting protein activity or expression. In some embodiments, the target protein is TL1A, or a binding partner of TL1A such as Death Domain Receptor 3 (DcR3). A target protein may be detected by use of an antibody-based assay, where an antibody specific to the target protein is utilized. In some embodiments, antibody-based detection methods utilize an antibody that binds to any region of target protein. An exemplary method of analysis comprises performing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The ELISA assay may be a sandwich ELISA or a direct ELISA. Another exemplary method of analysis comprises a single molecule array, e.g., Simoa. Other exemplary methods of detection include immunohistochemistry and lateral flow assay. Additional exemplary methods for detecting target protein include, but are not limited to, gel electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), hyperdiffusion chromatography, and the like, or various immunological methods such as fluid or gel precipitation reactions, immunodiffusion (single or double), immunoelectrophoresis, radioimmunoassay (RIA), immunofluorescent assays, and Western blotting. In some embodiments, antibodies, or antibody fragments, are used in methods such as Western blots or immunofluorescence techniques to detect the expressed proteins. The antibody or protein can be immobilized on a solid support for Western blots and immunofluorescence techniques. Suitable solid phase supports or carriers include any support capable of binding an antigen or an antibody. Exemplary supports or carriers include glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, dextran, nylon, amylases, natural and modified celluloses, polyacrylamides, gabbros, and magnetite.

In some embodiments, the presence or the level of the one or more serological markers is detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a single molecule array (Simoa), immunohistochemistry, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the ELISA is a fixed leukocyte ELISA. In some embodiments, the ELISA is a fixed neutrophil ELISA. A fixed leukocyte or neutrophil ELISA may be useful for the detection of certain serological markers, such as those described in Saxon et al., A distinct subset of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies is associated with inflammatory bowel disease, J. Allergy Clin. Immuno. 86:2; 202-210 (August 1990). In some embodiments, ELISA units (EU) are used to measure positivity of a presence or level of a serological marker (e.g., seropositivity), which reflects a percentage of a standard or reference value. In some embodiments, the standard comprises pooled sera obtained from well-characterized patient population (e.g., diagnosed with the same disease or condition the subject has, or is suspected of having) reported as being seropositive for the serological marker of interest. In some embodiments, the control or reference value comprises 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 EU. In some instances, a quartile sum scores are calculated using, for example, the methods reported in Landers C J, Cohavy O, Misra R. et al., Selected loss of tolerance evidenced by Crohn's disease-associated immune responses to auto- and microbial antigens. Gastroenterology (2002)123:689-699.

In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent is a second-line, third-line, or fourth-line therapy, for the disease or condition.


A. Therapeutic Agents


In one aspect, provided herein are antibodies and antigen-binding fragments for treatment of IBD and/or an EIM of IBD. In some embodiments, an antibody comprises an antigen-binding fragment that refers to a portion of an antibody having antigenic determining variable regions of an antibody. Examples of antigen-binding fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, and Fv fragments, linear antibodies, single chain antibodies, and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. In some embodiments, an antibody refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that recognizes and specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, peptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or combinations of the foregoing through at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. In some embodiments, an antibody includes intact polyclonal antibodies, intact monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments (such as Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, and Fv fragments), single chain Fv (scFv) mutants, a CDR-grafted antibody, multispecific antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, fusion proteins comprising an antigen determination portion of an antibody, and any other modified immunoglobulin molecule comprising an antigen recognition site so long as the antibodies exhibit the desired biological activity. An antibody can be of any the five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, or subclasses (isotypes) thereof (e.g. IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2), based on the identity of their heavy-chain constant domains referred to as alpha, delta, epsilon, gamma, and mu, respectively. The different classes of immunoglobulins have different and well-known subunit structures and three-dimensional configurations. Antibodies can be naked or conjugated to other molecules such as toxins, radioisotopes, etc.


In some embodiments, a humanized antibody refers to forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies having specific immunoglobulin chains, chimeric immunoglobulins, or fragments thereof that contain minimal non-human (e.g., murine) sequences. In a non-limiting example, a humanized antibody comprises less than about 40% non-human sequence in the variable region. In some cases, a humanized antibody comprises less than about 20% non-human sequence in a full-length antibody sequence. In a further non-limiting example, a humanized antibody comprises less than about 20% non-human sequence in the framework region of each of the heavy chain and light chain variable regions. For instance, the humanized antibody comprises less than about 20%, 19%, 18%, 17%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% non-human sequence in the framework region of each of the heavy chain and light chain variable regions. As another example, the humanized antibody comprises about or less than about 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 non-human sequences in the framework region of each of the heavy chain and light chain variable regions. In some cases, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins in which residues from the complementarity determining region (CDR) are replaced by residues from the CDR of a non-human species (e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster) that have the desired specificity, affinity, and capability. These humanized antibodies may contain one or more non-human species mutations, e.g., the heavy chain comprises about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 non-human species mutations in the framework region, and the light chain comprises about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 non-human species mutations in the framework region. The humanized heavy chain variable domain may comprise IGHV1-46*02 framework with no or fewer than about 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 amino acid mutations. The humanized light chain variable domain may comprise IGKV3-20 framework with no or fewer than about 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 amino acid mutations.


The terms “complementarity determining region,” and “CDR,” which are synonymous with “hypervariable region” or “HVR,” are known in the art to refer to non-contiguous sequences of amino acids within antibody variable regions, which confer antigen specificity and/or binding affinity. In general, there are three CDRs in each heavy chain variable region (CDR-H1, CDR-H2, CDR-H3) and three CDRs in each light chain variable region (CDR-L1, CDR-L2, CDR-L3). “Framework regions” and “FR” are known in the art to refer to the non-CDR portions of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains. In general, there are four FRs in each full-length heavy chain variable region (FR-H1, FR-H2, FR-H3, and FR-H4), and four FRs in each full-length light chain variable region (FR-L1, FR-L2, FR-L3, and FR-L4). The precise amino acid sequence boundaries of a given CDR or FR can be readily determined using any of a number of well-known schemes, including those described by Kabat et al. (1991), “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.

In some embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to a protein indicates that the antibody reacts or associates more frequently, more rapidly, with greater duration, with greater affinity, or with some combination of the above to the protein than with alternative substances, including unrelated proteins.


In some embodiments, the terms “polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The polymer may be linear or branched, it may comprise modified amino acids, and it may be interrupted by non-amino acids. The terms also encompass an amino acid polymer that has been modified naturally or by intervention; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation or modification, such as fusion with another polypeptide and/or conjugation, e.g., with a labeling component. Also included within the definition are, for example, polypeptides containing one or more analogs of an amino acid (for example, unnatural amino acids, etc.), as well as other modifications known in the art.


Percent (%) sequence identity with respect to a reference polypeptide sequence is the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the reference polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are known for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Appropriate parameters for aligning sequences are able to be determined, including algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. For purposes herein, however, % amino acid sequence identity values are generated using the sequence comparison computer program ALIGN-2. The ALIGN-2 sequence comparison computer program was authored by Genentech, Inc., and the source code has been filed with user documentation in the U.S. Copyright Office, Washington D.C., 20559, where it is registered under U.S. Copyright Registration No. TXU510087. The ALIGN-2 program is publicly available from Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif., or may be compiled from the source code. The ALIGN-2 program should be compiled for use on a UNIX operating system, including digital UNIX V4.OD. All sequence comparison parameters are set by the ALIGN-2 program and do not vary.


In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction X/Y, where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program.


In some embodiments, the term “about” means within 10% of the stated amount. For instance, an antibody variable region comprising about 80% identity to a reference variable region may comprise 72% to 88% identity to the reference variable region.


TL1A Therapeutics


Aspects provided herein are methods of treating an inflammatory, fibrostenotic, or fibrotic disease or condition in a subject by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of TNF Superfamily Member 15 (TL1A) activity or expression to the subject, provided a genotype is detected in a sample obtained from the subject. In some embodiments, the inhibitor of TL1A activity or expression is effective to inhibit TL1A-DR3 binding. In some embodiments, the inhibitor of TL1A activity or expression comprises an allosteric modulator of TL1A. An allosteric modulator of TL1A may indirectly influence the effects TL1A on DR3, or TR6/DcR3 on TL1A or DR3. The inhibitor of TL1A activity or expression may be a direct inhibitor or indirect inhibitor. Non-limiting examples of an inhibitor of TL1A expression include RNA to protein TL1A translation inhibitors, antisense oligonucleotides targeting the TNFSF15 mRNA (such as miRNAs, or siRNA), epigenetic editing (such as targeting the DNA-binding domain of TNFSF15, or post-translational modifications of histone tails and/or DNA molecules). Non-limiting examples of an inhibitor of TL1A activity include antagonists to the TL1A receptors, (DR3 and TR6/DcR3), antagonists to TL1A antigen, and antagonists to gene expression products involved in TL1A mediated disease. Antagonists as disclosed herein, may include, but are not limited to, an anti-TL1A antibody, an anti-TL1A-binding antibody fragment, or a small molecule. The small molecule may be a small molecule that binds to TL1A or DR3. The anti-TL1A antibody may be monoclonal or polyclonal. The anti-TL1A antibody may be humanized or chimeric. The anti-TL1A antibody may be a fusion protein. The anti-TL1A antibody may be a blocking anti-TL1A antibody. A blocking antibody blocks binding between two proteins, e.g., a ligand and its receptor. Therefore, a TL1A blocking antibody includes an antibody that prevents binding of TL1A to DR3 and/or TR6/DcR3 receptors. In a non-limiting example, the TL1A blocking antibody binds to DR3. In another example, the TL1A blocking antibody binds to DcR3. In some cases, the TL1A antibody is an anti-TL1A antibody that specifically binds to TL1A.


In certain aspects, antibodies are described herein that specifically bind to TL1A (Entrez Gene: 9966; UniProtKB: 095150). In some embodiments, the antibodies specifically bind to soluble TL1A.

In some embodiments, one or more amino acid modifications may be introduced into the Fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of a human or humanized antibody, thereby generating an Fc region variant. An Fc region may comprise a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that comprises a hinge region, CH2 domain, CH3 domain, or any combination thereof. As used herein, an Fc region includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. The Fc region variant may comprise a human Fc region sequence (e.g., a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 Fc region) comprising an amino acid modification (e.g., a substitution, addition, or deletion) at one or more amino acid positions. In an exemplary embodiment, the Fc region comprises any one of SEQ ID NOS: 320-362, 401-413, 501-515.


In some embodiments, antibodies of this disclosure have a reduced effector function as compared to a human IgG. Effector function refers to a biological event resulting from the interaction of an antibody Fc region with an Fc receptor or ligand. Non-limiting effector functions include C1q binding, complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), cytokine secretion, immune complex-mediated antigen uptake by antigen presenting cells, down regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g. B cell receptor), and B cell activation. In some cases, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) refers to a cell-mediated reaction in which nonspecific cytotoxic cells expressing Fc receptors (e.g., natural killer cells, neutrophils, macrophages) recognize bound antibody on a target cell, subsequently causing lysis of the target cell. In some cases, complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) refers to lysing of a target cells in the presence of complement, where the complement action pathway is initiated by the binding of C1q to antibody bound with the target.


Some Fc regions have a natural lack of effector function, and some Fc regions can comprise mutations that reduce effector functions. For instance, IgG4 has low ADCC and CDC activities and IgG2 has low ADCC activity.


The disclosure provides antibodies comprising Fc regions characterized by exhibiting ADCC that is reduced by at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70% or more as compared to an antibody comprising a non-variant Fc region, i.e., an antibody with the same sequence identity but for the substitution(s) that decrease ADCC (such as human IgG1, SEQ ID NO: 320). The disclosure provides antibodies comprising Fc regions characterized by exhibiting CDC that is reduced by at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70% or more as compared to an antibody comprising a non-variant Fc region, i.e., an antibody with the same sequence identity but for the substitution(s) that decrease CDC (such as human IgG1, SEQ ID NO: 320). In certain embodiments, the antibodies of this disclosure have reduced effector function as compared with human IgG1. Measurement of effector function may be performed as described in Example 3.


Non-limiting examples of Fc mutations in IgG1 that may reduce ADCC and/or CDC include substitutions at one or more of positions: 231, 232, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 264, 265, 267, 269, 270, 297, 299, 318, 320, 322, 325, 327, 328, 329, 330, and 331 in IgG1, where the numbering system of the constant region is that of the EU index as set forth by Kabat. In certain embodiments, the antibodies of this disclosure have reduced effector function as compared with human IgG1.

In some embodiments, the antibodies of this disclosure are variants that possess some but not all effector functions, which make it a desirable candidate for applications in which the half-life of the antibody in vivo is important yet certain effector functions (such as complement and ADCC) are unnecessary or deleterious.


In vitro and/or in vivo cytotoxicity assays can be conducted to confirm the reduction/depletion of CDC and/or ADCC activities. For example, Fc receptor (FcR) binding assays can be conducted to ensure that the antibody lacks FcγR binding (hence likely lacking ADCC activity) but retains FcRn binding ability. Measurement of effector function may be performed as described in Example 3.


In some embodiments, antibodies are tested for binding to Fc receptors and complement C1q by ELISA. In some embodiments, antibodies are tested for the ability to activate primary human immune cells in vitro, for example, by assessing their ability to induce expression of activation markers.


In some embodiments, assessment of ADCC activity of an anti-TL1A antibody comprises adding the antibody to target cells in combination with immune effector cells, which may be activated by the antigen antibody complexes resulting in cytolysis of the target cell. Cytolysis may be detected by the release of label (e.g. radioactive substrates, fluorescent dyes or natural intracellular proteins) from the lysed cells. Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Specific examples of in vitro ADCC assays are described in Wisecarver et al., 1985 79:277-282; Bruggemann et al., 1987, J Exp Med 166:1351-1361; Wilkinson et al., 2001, J Immunol Methods 258:183-191; Patel et al., 1995 J Immunol Methods 184:29-38. Alternatively, or additionally, ADCC activity of the antibody of interest may be assessed in vivo, e.g., in an animal model such as that disclosed in Clynes et al., 1998, PNAS USA 95:652-656.


In some embodiments, antibodies comprising a Fc region herein exhibit decreased ADCC activities as compared to an unmodified antibody (e.g., an antibody with human IgG1). In some embodiments, the antibodies herein exhibit ADCC activities that are at least 2-fold, or at least 3-fold, or at least 5-fold or at least 10-fold or at least 50-fold or at least 100-fold less than that of an unmodified antibody. In some embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit ADCC activities that are reduced by at least 10%, or at least 20%, or by at least 30%, or by at least 40%, or by at least 50%, or by at least 60%, or by at least 70%, or by at least 80%, or by at least 90%, or by at least 100%, or by at least 200%, or by at least 300%, or by at least 400%, or by at least 500% relative to an unmodified antibody. In certain embodiments, antibodies herein have no detectable ADCC activity. In certain embodiments, the reduction and/or abatement of ADCC activity may be attributed to the reduced affinity antibodies of the invention exhibit for Fc ligands and/or receptors.


In some embodiments, an assessment of complement activation, a CDC assay, may be performed as described in Gazzano-Santoro et al., 1996, J. Immunol. Methods, 202:163.


In some embodiments, antibodies comprising Fc regions described herein exhibit decreased affinities to C1q relative to an unmodified antibody (e.g., human IgG1). In some embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit affinities for C1q receptor that are at least 2 fold, or at least 3 fold, or at least 5 fold, or at least 7 fold, or at least 10 fold, or at least 20 fold, or at least 30 fold, or at least 40 fold, or at least 50 fold, or at least 60 fold, or at least 70 fold, or at least 80 fold, or at least 90 fold, or at least 100 fold, or at least 200 fold less than an unmodified antibody. In some embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit affinities for C1q that are at least 90%, at least 80%, at least 70%, at least 60%, at least 50%, at least 40%, at least 30%, at least 20%, at least 10%, or at least 5% less than an unmodified antibody. In some embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit affinities for C1q that are between about 100 nM to about 100 μM, or about 100 nM to about 10 μM, or about 100 nM to about 1 μM, or about 1 nM to about 100 μM, or about 10 nM to about 100 μM, or about 1 μM to about 100 μM, or about 10 μM to about 100 μM. In certain embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit affinities for C1q that are greater than 1 μM, greater than 5 μM, greater than 10 μM, greater than 25 μM, greater than 50 μM, or greater than 100 μM.


In some embodiments, antibodies comprising Fc regions described herein exhibit decreased CDC activities as compared to an unmodified antibody (e.g., human IgG1). In some embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit CDC activities that are at least 2-fold, or at least 3-fold, or at least 5-fold or at least 10-fold or at least 50-fold or at least 100-fold less than that of an unmodified antibody. In some embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit CDC activities that are reduced by at least 10%, or at least 20%, or by at least 30%, or by at least 40%, or by at least 50%, or by at least 60%, or by at least 70%, or by at least 80%, or by at least 90%, or by at least 100%, or by at least 200%, or by at least 300%, or by at least 400%, or by at least 500% relative to an unmodified antibody. In certain embodiments, antibodies herein exhibit no detectable CDC activities. In some embodiments, the reduction and/or ablatement of CDC activity may be attributed to the reduced affinity antibodies of the invention exhibit for Fc ligands and/or receptors.


Accordingly, further provided and described herein are anti-TL1A antibodies comprising a variant (e.g. harboring mutations) Fc region that reduce the cytotoxic response (e.g. ADCC or CDC) elicited by an anti-TL1A antibody.


In various embodiments, monoclonal antibodies are prepared using methods known in the art, such as, but not limited to the hybridoma method, where a host animal is immunized to elicit the production by lymphocytes of antibodies that will specifically bind to an immunizing antigen (Kohler and Milstein (1975) Nature 256:495). Hybridomas produce monoclonal antibodies directed specifically against a chosen antigen. The monoclonal antibodies are purified from the culture medium or ascites fluid by techniques known in the art, when propagated either in vitro or in vivo.


In some embodiments, monoclonal antibodies are made using recombinant DNA methods. The polynucleotides encoding a monoclonal antibody are isolated from mature B-cells or hybridoma cells. The isolated polynucleotides encoding the heavy and light chains are then cloned into suitable expression vectors, which when transfected into host cells (e.g., E. coli cells, simian COS cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, or myeloma cells) generate monoclonal antibodies. The polynucleotide(s) encoding a monoclonal antibody can further be modified in a number of different manners using recombinant DNA technology to generate alternative antibodies.


In various embodiments, a chimeric antibody, a molecule in which different portions are derived from different animal species, such as those having a variable region derived from a murine monoclonal antibody and a human immunoglobulin constant region (e.g., humanized antibodies) can be generated.


In some embodiments, the anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody is a humanized antibody, to reduce antigenicity and HAMA (human anti-mouse antibody) responses when administered to a human subject. Humanized antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art. For example, an antibody is humanized by (1) determining the nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence of the starting antibody light and heavy variable domains; (2) designing the humanized antibody, e.g., deciding which antibody framework region to use during the humanizing process; (3) the actual humanizing methodologies/techniques; and (4) the transfection and expression of the humanized antibody. In various embodiments, a humanized antibody can be further optimized to decrease potential immunogenicity, while maintaining functional activity, for therapy in humans.


Humanized antibodies can also be made in transgenic mice containing human immunoglobulin loci that are capable, upon immunization, of producing the full repertoire of human antibodies in the absence of endogenous immunoglobulin production. A humanized antibody may also be obtained by a genetic engineering approach that enables production of affinity-matured human-like polyclonal antibodies in large animals.


A fully humanized antibody may be created by first designing a variable region amino acid sequence that contains non-human, e.g., rodent-derived CDRs, embedded in human-derived framework sequences. The non-human CDRs provide the desired specificity. Accordingly, in some cases these residues are included in the design of the reshaped variable region essentially unchanged. In some cases, modifications should therefore be restricted to a minimum and closely watched for changes in the specificity and affinity of the antibody. On the other hand, framework residues in theory can be derived from any human variable region. A human framework sequences should be chosen, which is equally suitable for creating a reshaped variable region and for retaining antibody affinity, in order to create a reshaped antibody which shows an acceptable or an even improved affinity. The human framework may be of germline origin, or may be derived from non-germline (e.g., mutated or affinity matured) sequences. Genetic engineering techniques well known to those in the art, for example, but not limited to, phage display of libraries of human antibodies, transgenic mice, human-human hybridoma, hybrid hybridoma, B cell immortalization and cloning, single-cell RT-PCR or HuRAb Technology, may be used to generate a humanized antibody with a hybrid DNA sequence containing a human framework and a non-human CDR.


In certain embodiments, the anti-TL1A antibody is a human antibody. Human antibodies can be directly prepared using various techniques known in the art. Immortalized human B lymphocytes immunized in vitro or isolated from an immunized individual that produce an antibody directed against a target antigen can be generated.


Chimeric, humanized and human antibodies may be produced by recombinant expression. Recombinant polynucleotide constructs typically include an expression control sequence operably linked to the coding sequences of antibody chains, including naturally associated or heterologous promoter regions. In certain embodiments, it may be desirable to generate amino acid sequence variants of these humanized antibodies, particularly where these improve the binding affinity or other biological properties of the antibody.


In certain embodiments, an antibody fragment is used to treat and/or ameliorate IBD. Various techniques are known for the production of antibody fragments. Generally, these fragments are derived via proteolytic digestion of intact antibodies (for example Morimoto et al., 1993, Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods 24:107-117; Brennan et al., 1985, Science, 229:81). Fab, Fv, and scFv antibody fragments can all be expressed in and secreted from E. coli or other host cells, thus allowing the production of large amounts of these fragments. Other techniques for the production of antibody fragments will be apparent to the skilled practitioner.


According to the present disclosure, techniques can be adapted for the production of single-chain antibodies specific to TL1A. In addition, methods can be adapted for the construction of Fab expression libraries to allow rapid and effective identification of monoclonal Fab fragments with the desired specificity for TL1A, or derivatives, fragments, analogs or homologs thereof. Antibody fragments may be produced by techniques in the art including, but not limited to: (a) a F(ab′)2 fragment produced by pepsin digestion of an antibody molecule; (b) a Fab fragment generated by reducing the disulfide bridges of an F(ab′)2 fragment, (c) a Fab fragment generated by the treatment of the antibody molecule with papain and a reducing agent, and (d) Fv fragments.


Also provided herein are modified antibodies comprising any type of variable region that provides for the association of the antibody with TL1A. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the modified antibodies may comprise antibodies (e.g., full-length antibodies or immunoreactive fragments thereof) in which at least a fraction of one or more of the constant region domains has been deleted or otherwise altered so as to provide desired biochemical characteristics such as decreasing TL1A. In certain embodiments, the variable regions in both the heavy and light chains are altered by at least partial replacement of one or more CDRs and, if necessary, by partial framework region replacement and sequence changing. In some embodiments, the replaced CDRs may be derived from an antibody of the same class, subclass, from an antibody of a different class, for instance, from an antibody from a different species and/or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the constant region of the modified antibodies will comprise a human constant region. Modifications to the constant region compatible with this disclosure comprise additions, deletions or substitutions of one or more amino acids in one or more domains.


In various embodiments, the expression of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as described herein can occur in either prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. Suitable hosts include bacterial or eukaryotic hosts, including yeast, insects, fungi, bird and mammalian cells either in vivo, or in situ, or host cells of mammalian, insect, bird or yeast origin. The mammalian cell or tissue can be of human, primate, hamster, rabbit, rodent, cow, pig, sheep, horse, goat, dog or cat origin, but any other mammalian cell may be used. In other embodiments, the antibody or antigen-fragment thereof as described herein may be transfected into the host.


In some embodiments, the expression vectors are transfected into the recipient cell line for the production of the chimeric, humanized, or composite human antibodies described herein. In various embodiments, mammalian cells can be useful as hosts for the production of antibody proteins, which can include, but are not limited to cells of fibroblast origin, such as Vero (ATCC CRL 81) or CHO-K1 (ATCC CRL 61) cells, HeLa cells and L cells. Exemplary eukaryotic cells that can be used to express polypeptides include, but are not limited to, COS cells, including COS 7 cells; 293 cells, including 293-6E cells; CHO cells, including CHO-S and DG44 cells; PER.C6™ cells (Crucell); and NSO cells. In some embodiments, a particular eukaryotic host cell is selected based on its ability to make desired post-translational modifications to the heavy chains and/or light chains.


A number of suitable host cell lines capable of secreting intact heterologous proteins have been developed in the art, and include, but are not limited to CHO cell lines, various COS cell lines, HeLa cells, L cells and multiple myeloma cell lines.


An expression vector carrying a chimeric, humanized, or composite human antibody construct, antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as described herein can be introduced into an appropriate host cell by any of a variety of suitable means, depending on the type of cellular host including, but not limited to transformation, transfection, lipofection, conjugation, electroporation, direct microinjection, and microprojectile bombardment, as known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Expression vectors for these cells can include expression control sequences, such as an origin of replication sites, a promoter, an enhancer and necessary processing information sites, such as ribosome binding sites, RNA splice sites, polyadenylation sites, and transcriptional terminator sequences.


In various embodiments, yeast can also be utilized as hosts for the production of the antibody molecules or peptides described herein. In various other embodiments, bacterial strains can also be utilized as hosts for the production of the antibody molecules or peptides described herein. Examples of bacterial strains include, but are not limited to E. coli, Bacillus species, enterobacteria, and various Pseudomonas species.


In some embodiments, one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof as described herein can be produced in vivo in an animal that has been engineered (transgenic) or transfected with one or more nucleic acid molecules encoding the polypeptides, according to any suitable method. For production of transgenic animals, transgenes can be microinjected into fertilized oocytes, or can be incorporated into the genome of embryonic stem cells, and the nuclei of such cells transferred into enucleated oocytes. Once expressed, antibodies can be purified according to standard procedures of the art, including HPLC purification, column chromatography, gel electrophoresis and the like (see generally, Scopes, Protein Purification (Springer-Verlag, NY, 1982)).


Once expressed in the host, the whole antibodies, antibody-fragments (e.g., individual light and heavy chains), or other immunoglobulin forms of the present disclosure can be recovered and purified by known techniques, e.g., immunoabsorption or immunoaffinity chromatography, chromatographic methods such as HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography), ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel electrophoresis, or any combination of these. See generally, Scopes, PROTEIN PURIF. (Springer-Verlag, NY, 1982). Substantially pure immunoglobulins of at least about 90% to 95% homogeneity are advantageous, as are those with 98% to 99% or more homogeneity, particularly for pharmaceutical uses. Once purified, partially or to homogeneity as desired, a humanized or composite human antibody can then be used therapeutically or in developing and performing assay procedures, immunofluorescent stainings, etc. See generally, Vols. I & II Immunol. Meth. (Lefkovits & Pernis, eds., Acad. Press, NY, 1979 and 1981).


Various embodiments provide for a genetic construct comprising a nucleic acid encoding an anti-TL1A antibody or fragment provided herein. Genetic constructs of the antibody can be in the form of expression cassettes, which can be suitable for expression of the encoded anti-TL1A antibody or fragment. The genetic construct may be introduced into a host cell with or without being incorporated in a vector. For example, the genetic construct can be incorporated within a liposome or a virus particle. Alternatively, a purified nucleic acid molecule can be inserted directly into a host cell by methods known in the art. The genetic construct can be introduced directly into cells of a host subject by transfection, infection, electroporation, cell fusion, protoplast fusion, microinjection or ballistic bombardment.


Various embodiments provide a recombinant vector comprising the genetic construct of an antibody provided herein. The recombinant vector can be a plasmid, cosmid or phage. The recombinant vectors can include other functional elements; for example, a suitable promoter to initiate gene expression.


Various embodiments provide a host cell comprising a genetic construct and/or recombinant vector described herein.


Various host systems are also advantageously employed to express recombinant protein. Examples of suitable mammalian host cell lines include the COS-7 lines of monkey kidney cells, and other cell lines capable of expressing an appropriate vector including, for example, L cells, C127, 3T3, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), HeLa and BHK cell lines. Mammalian expression vectors can comprise non-transcribed elements such as an origin of replication, a suitable promoter and enhancer linked to the gene to be expressed, and other 5′ or 3′ flanking non-transcribed sequences, and 5′ or 3′ non-translated sequences, such as necessary ribosome binding sites, a polyadenylation site, splice donor and acceptor sites, and transcriptional termination sequences.


The proteins produced by a transformed host can be purified according to any suitable method. Such standard methods include chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or by any other standard technique for protein purification. Affinity tags such as hexahistidine (SEQ ID NO: 1303), maltose binding domain, influenza coat sequence and glutathione-S-transferase can be attached to the protein to allow easy purification by passage over an appropriate affinity column. Isolated proteins can also be physically characterized using such techniques as proteolysis, nuclear magnetic resonance and x-ray crystallography. Recombinant protein produced in bacterial culture can be isolated.


One of skill will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence which alters a single amino acid or a small percentage of amino acids in the encoded sequence is a “conservatively modified variant” where the alteration results in the substitution of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid and retain the ability to specifically bind the target antigen. Such conservatively modified variants are in addition to and do not exclude polymorphic variants, interspecies homologs, and alleles consistent with the disclosure.


A given amino acid can be replaced by a residue having similar physiochemical characteristics, e.g., substituting one aliphatic residue for another (such as He, Val, Leu, or Ala for one another), or substitution of one polar residue for another (such as between Lys and Arg; Glu and Asp; or Gln and Asn). Other such conservative substitutions, e.g., substitutions of entire regions having similar hydrophobicity characteristics, are well known. Polypeptides comprising conservative amino acid substitutions can be tested in any one of the assays described herein to confirm that a desired activity, e.g. antigen-binding activity and specificity of a native or reference polypeptide is retained.


Particular conservative substitutions include, for example; Ala into Gly or into Ser; Arg into Lys; Asn into Gin or into H is; Asp into Glu; Cys into Ser; Gin into Asn; Glu into Asp; Gly into Ala or into Pro; His into Asn or into Gin; lie into Leu or into Val; Leu into lie or into Val; Lys into Arg, into Gin or into Glu; Met into Leu, into Tyr or into lie; Phe into Met, into Leu or into Tyr; Ser into Thr; Thr into Ser; Trp into Tyr; Tyr into Trp; and/or Phe into Val, into lie or into Leu.


In some embodiments, the antibody and/or antigen-binding fragment thereof described herein can be a variant of a sequence described herein, e.g., a conservative substitution variant of an antibody polypeptide. In some embodiments, the variant is a conservatively modified variant. A variant may refer to a polypeptide substantially homologous to a native or reference polypeptide, but which has an amino acid sequence different from that of the native or reference polypeptide because of one or a plurality of deletions, insertions or substitutions. Variant polypeptide-encoding DNA sequences encompass sequences that comprise one or more additions, deletions, or substitutions of nucleotides when compared to a native or reference DNA sequence, but that encode a variant protein or fragment thereof that retains activity, e.g., antigen-specific binding activity for the relevant target polypeptide.


Alterations of the native amino acid sequence can be accomplished by any of a number of techniques known to one of skill in the art. Mutations can be introduced at particular loci or by oligonucleotide-directed site-specific mutagenesis procedures. Techniques for making such alterations are very well established and include, for example, those disclosed by Walder et al. (Gene 42: 133, 1986); Bauer et al. (Gene 37:73, 1985); Craik (BioTechniques, January 1985, 12-19); Smith et al. (Genetic Engineering: Principles and Methods, Plenum Press, 1981).


Nucleic acid molecules encoding amino acid sequence variants of antibodies are prepared by a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, preparation by oligonucleotide-mediated (or site-directed) mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, and cassette mutagenesis of an earlier prepared variant or a non-variant version of the antibody. A nucleic acid sequence encoding at least one antibody, portion or polypeptide as described herein can be recombined with vector DNA in accordance with conventional techniques, including but not limited to, blunt-ended or staggered-ended termini for ligation and restriction enzyme digestion. Techniques for such manipulations are disclosed, e.g., by Maniatis et al., Molecular Cloning, Lab. Manual (Cold Spring Harbor Lab. Press, NY, 1982 and 1989), and can be used to construct nucleic acid sequences which encode a monoclonal antibody molecule or antigen-binding region.


In some embodiments, a nucleic acid encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as described herein is comprised by a vector. In some of the aspects described herein, a nucleic acid sequence encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as described herein, or any module thereof, is operably linked to a vector. The term “vector,” as used herein, refers to a nucleic acid construct designed for delivery to a host cell or for transfer between different host cells. As used herein, a vector can be viral or non-viral. The term “vector” encompasses any genetic element that is capable of replication when associated with the proper control elements and that can transfer gene sequences to cells. A vector can include, but is not limited to, a cloning vector, an expression vector, a plasmid, phage, transposon, cosmid, chromosome, virus, virion, etc.


As used herein, the term “expression vector” refers to a vector that directs expression of an RNA or polypeptide from sequences linked to transcriptional regulatory sequences on the vector. The term “expression” refers to the cellular processes involved in producing RNA and proteins and as appropriate, secreting proteins, including where applicable, but not limited to, for example, transcription, transcript processing, translation and protein folding, modification and processing. “Expression products” include RNA transcribed from a gene, and polypeptides obtained by translation of mRNA transcribed from a gene. The term “gene” means the nucleic acid sequence which is transcribed (DNA) to RNA in vitro or in vivo when operably linked to appropriate regulatory sequences. The gene may or may not include regions preceding and following the coding region, e.g., 5′ untranslated (5′UTR) or “leader” sequences and 3′ UTR or “trailer” sequences, as well as intervening sequences (introns) between individual coding segments (exons).


As used herein, the term “viral vector” refers to a nucleic acid vector construct that includes at least one element of viral origin and has the capacity to be packaged into a viral vector particle. The viral vector can contain the nucleic acid encoding an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof as described herein in place of non-essential viral genes. The vector and/or particle may be utilized for the purpose of transferring any nucleic acids into cells either in vitro or in vivo. Numerous forms of viral vectors are known in the art.


By “recombinant vector,” it is meant that the vector includes a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, or “transgene” that is capable of expression in vivo.


Non-limiting methods for determining whether an anti-TL1A antibody binds to the same region of a reference antibody are known in the art. An exemplary method comprises a competition assay. For instance, the method comprises determining whether a reference antibody can compete with binding between the reference antibody and the TL1A protein or portion thereof, or determining whether the reference antibody can compete with binding between the reference antibody and the TL1A protein or portion thereof. Exemplary methods include use of surface plasmon resonance to evaluate whether an anti-TL1A antibody can compete with the binding between TL1A and another anti-TL1A antibody. In some cases, surface plasmon resonance is utilized in the competition assay.

Dosages and Routes of Administration

In general, methods disclosed herein comprise administering a therapeutic agent by oral administration. However, in some instances, methods comprise administering a therapeutic agent by intraperitoneal injection. In some instances, methods comprise administering a therapeutic agent in the form of an anal suppository. In some instances, methods comprise administering a therapeutic agent by intravenous (“i.v.”) administration. It is conceivable that one may also administer therapeutic agents disclosed herein by other routes, such as subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, intradermal injection, transdermal injection percutaneous administration, intranasal administration, intralymphatic injection, rectal administration intragastric administration, or any other suitable parenteral administration. In some embodiments, routes for local delivery closer to site of injury or inflammation are preferred over systemic routes. Routes, dosage, time points, and duration of administrating therapeutics may be adjusted. In some embodiments, administration of therapeutics is prior to, or after, onset of either, or both, acute and chronic symptoms of the disease or condition.


An effective dose and dosage of therapeutics to prevent or treat the disease or condition disclosed herein is defined by an observed beneficial response related to the disease or condition, or symptom of the disease or condition. Beneficial response comprises preventing, alleviating, arresting, or curing the disease or condition, or symptom of the disease or condition (e.g., reduced instances of diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and size or number of intestinal lesions or strictures, reduced fibrosis or fibrogenesis, reduced fibrostenosis, reduced inflammation). In some embodiments, the beneficial response may be measured by detecting a measurable improvement in the presence, level, or activity, of biomarkers, transcriptomic risk profile, or intestinal microbiome in the subject. An “improvement,” as used herein refers to shift in the presence, level, or activity towards a presence, level, or activity, observed in normal individuals (e.g. individuals who do not suffer from the disease or condition). In instances wherein the therapeutic agent is not therapeutically effective or is not providing a sufficient alleviation of the disease or condition, or symptom of the disease or condition, then the dosage amount and/or route of administration may be changed, or an additional agent may be administered to the subject, along with the therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, as a patient is started on a regimen of a therapeutic agent, the patient is also weaned off (e.g., step-wise decrease in dose) a second treatment regimen.


Suitable dose and dosage administrated to a subject is determined by factors including, but no limited to, the particular therapeutic agent, disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight, sex, age) of the subject in need of treatment, and can be determined according to the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, e.g., the specific agent being administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the subject or host being treated. In general, however, doses employed for adult human treatment are typically in the range of 0.01 mg-5000 mg per day. In one aspect, doses employed for adult human treatment are from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg per day. In one embodiment, the desired dose is conveniently presented in a single dose or in divided doses administered simultaneously (or over a short period of time) or at appropriate intervals, for example as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day. Non-limiting examples of effective dosages of for oral delivery of a therapeutic agent include between about 0.1 mg/kg and about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day, and preferably between about 0.5 mg/kg and about 50 mg/kg of body weight per day. In other instances, the oral delivery dosage of effective amount is about 1 mg/kg and about 10 mg/kg of body weight per day of active material. Non-limiting examples of effective dosages for intravenous administration of the therapeutic agent include at a rate between about 0.01 to 100 pmol/kg body weight/min. In some embodiments, the daily dosage or the amount of active in the dosage form are lower or higher than the ranges indicated herein, based on a number of variables in regard to an individual treatment regime. In various embodiments, the daily and unit dosages are altered depending on a number of variables including, but not limited to, the activity of the therapeutic agent used, the disease or condition to be treated, the mode of administration, the requirements of the individual subject, the severity of the disease or condition being treated, and the judgment of the practitioner.


In some embodiments, the administration of the therapeutic agent is hourly, once every 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours, 12 hours, 13 hours, 14 hours, 15 hours, 16 hours, 17 hours, 18 hours, 19 hours, 20 hours, 21 hours 22 hours, 23 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 11 days, 12 days, 13 days, 14 days, 15 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 7 months, 8 months, 9 months, 10 months, 11 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, or 5 years, or 10 years. The effective dosage ranges may be adjusted based on subject's response to the treatment. Some routes of administration will require higher concentrations of effective amount of therapeutics than other routes.


In certain embodiments wherein the patient's condition does not improve, upon the doctor's discretion the administration of therapeutic agent is administered chronically, that is, for an extended period of time, including throughout the duration of the patient's life in order to ameliorate or otherwise control or limit the symptoms of the patient's disease or condition. In certain embodiments wherein a patient's status does improve, the dose of therapeutic agent being administered may be temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length of time (i.e., a “drug holiday”). In specific embodiments, the length of the drug holiday is between 2 days and 1 year, including by way of example only, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, or more than 28 days. The dose reduction during a drug holiday is, by way of example only, by 10%-100%, including by way of example only 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100%. In certain embodiments, the dose of drug being administered may be temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length of time (i.e., a “drug diversion”). In specific embodiments, the length of the drug diversion is between 2 days and 1 year, including by way of example only, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, or more than 28 days. The dose reduction during a drug diversion is, by way of example only, by 10%-100%, including by way of example only 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 100%. After a suitable length of time, the normal dosing schedule is optionally reinstated.


In some embodiments, once improvement of the patient's conditions has occurred, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, in specific embodiments, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, is reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved disease, disorder or condition is retained. In certain embodiments, however, the patient requires intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.


Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such therapeutic regimens are determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, including, but not limited to, the determination of the LD50 and the ED50. The dose ratio between the toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it is expressed as the ratio between LD50 and ED50. In certain embodiments, the data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies are used in formulating the therapeutically effective daily dosage range and/or the therapeutically effective unit dosage amount for use in mammals, including humans. In some embodiments, the daily dosage amount of the therapeutic agent described herein lies within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with minimal toxicity. In certain embodiments, the daily dosage range and/or the unit dosage amount varies within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized.

Pharmaceutical Composition

A pharmaceutical composition, as used herein, refers to a mixture of a therapeutic agent, with other chemical components (i.e. pharmaceutically acceptable inactive ingredients), such as carriers, excipients, binders, filling agents, suspending agents, flavoring agents, sweetening agents, disintegrating agents, dispersing agents, surfactants, lubricants, colorants, diluents, solubilizers, moistening agents, plasticizers, stabilizers, penetration enhancers, wetting agents, anti-foaming agents, antioxidants, preservatives, or one or more combination thereof. Optionally, the compositions include two or more therapeutic agent (e.g., one or more therapeutic agents and one or more additional agents) as discussed herein. In practicing the methods of treatment or use provided herein, therapeutically effective amounts of therapeutic agents described herein are administered in a pharmaceutical composition to a mammal having a disease, disorder, or condition to be treated, e.g., an inflammatory disease, fibrostenotic disease, and/or fibrotic disease. In some embodiments, the mammal is a human. A therapeutically effective amount can vary widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the therapeutic agent used and other factors. The therapeutic agents can be used singly or in combination with one or more therapeutic agents as components of mixtures.


The pharmaceutical formulations described herein are administered to a subject by appropriate administration routes, including but not limited to, intravenous, intraarterial, oral, parenteral, buccal, topical, transdermal, rectal, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraosseous, transmucosal, inhalation, or intraperitoneal administration routes. The pharmaceutical formulations described herein include, but are not limited to, aqueous liquid dispersions, self-emulsifying dispersions, solid solutions, liposomal dispersions, aerosols, solid dosage forms, powders, immediate release formulations, controlled release formulations, fast melt formulations, tablets, capsules, pills, delayed release formulations, extended release formulations, pulsatile release formulations, multiparticulate formulations, and mixed immediate and controlled release formulations.


Pharmaceutical compositions including a therapeutic agent are manufactured in a conventional manner, such as, by way of example only, by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or compression processes.


The pharmaceutical compositions may include at least a therapeutic agent as an active ingredient in free-acid or free-base form, or in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form. In addition, the methods and pharmaceutical compositions described herein include the use of N-oxides (if appropriate), crystalline forms, amorphous phases, as well as active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity. In some embodiments, therapeutic agents exist in unsolvated form or in solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. The solvated forms of the therapeutic agents are also considered to be disclosed herein.


In some embodiments, a therapeutic agent exists as a tautomer. All tautomers are included within the scope of the agents presented herein. As such, it is to be understood that a therapeutic agent or a salt thereof may exhibit the phenomenon of tautomerism whereby two chemical compounds that are capable of facile interconversion by exchanging a hydrogen atom between two atoms, to either of which it forms a covalent bond. Since the tautomeric compounds exist in mobile equilibrium with each other they may be regarded as different isomeric forms of the same compound.


In some embodiments, a therapeutic agent exists as an enantiomer, diastereomer, or other stereoisomeric form. The agents disclosed herein include all enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and epimeric forms as well as mixtures thereof.


In some embodiments, therapeutic agents described herein may be prepared as prodrugs. A “prodrug” refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a therapeutic agent described herein, which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water-solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety. In certain embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the therapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, a prodrug is enzymatically metabolized by one or more steps or processes to the biologically, pharmaceutically or therapeutically active form of the therapeutic agent.


Prodrug forms of the therapeutic agents, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce an agent as set forth herein are included within the scope of the claims. Prodrug forms of the herein described therapeutic agents, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce an agent as set forth herein are included within the scope of the claims. In some cases, some of the therapeutic agents described herein may be a prodrug for another derivative or active compound. In some embodiments described herein, hydrazones are metabolized in vivo to produce a therapeutic agent.


In certain embodiments, compositions provided herein include one or more preservatives to inhibit microbial activity. Suitable preservatives include mercury-containing substances such as merfen and thiomersal; stabilized chlorine dioxide; and quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzalkonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and cetylpyridinium chloride.


In some embodiments, formulations described herein benefit from antioxidants, metal chelating agents, thiol containing compounds and other general stabilizing agents. Examples of such stabilizing agents, include, but are not limited to: (a) about 0.5% to about 2% w/v glycerol, (b) about 0.1% to about 1% w/v methionine, (c) about 0.1% to about 2% w/v monothioglycerol, (d) about 1 mM to about 10 mM EDTA, (e) about 0.01% to about 2% w/v ascorbic acid, (f) 0.003% to about 0.02% w/v polysorbate 80, (g) 0.001% to about 0.05% w/v. polysorbate 20, (h) arginine, (i) heparin, (j) dextran sulfate, (k) cyclodextrins, (l) pentosan polysulfate and other heparinoids, (m) divalent cations such as magnesium and zinc; or (n) combinations thereof.


The pharmaceutical compositions described herein are formulated into any suitable dosage form, including but not limited to, aqueous oral dispersions, liquids, gels, syrups, elixirs, slurries, suspensions, solid oral dosage forms, aerosols, controlled release formulations, fast melt formulations, effervescent formulations, lyophilized formulations, tablets, powders, pills, dragees, capsules, delayed release formulations, extended release formulations, pulsatile release formulations, multiparticulate formulations, and mixed immediate release and controlled release formulations. In one aspect, a therapeutic agent as discussed herein, e.g., therapeutic agent is formulated into a pharmaceutical composition suitable for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection. In one aspect, formulations suitable for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection include physiologically acceptable sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (propyleneglycol, polyethylene-glycol, glycerol, cremophor and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity 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 dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. In some embodiments, formulations suitable for subcutaneous injection also contain additives such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying, and dispensing agents. Prevention of the growth of microorganisms can be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. In some cases it is desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.


For intravenous injections or drips or infusions, a therapeutic agent described herein is formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art. For other parenteral injections, appropriate formulations include aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, preferably with physiologically compatible buffers or excipients. Such excipients are known.


Parenteral injections may involve bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi dose containers, with an added preservative. The pharmaceutical composition described herein may be in a form suitable for parenteral injection as a sterile suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. In one aspect, the active ingredient is in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.


For administration by inhalation, a therapeutic agent is formulated for use as an aerosol, a mist or a powder. Pharmaceutical compositions described herein are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, such as, by way of example only, gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the therapeutic agent described herein and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.


Representative intranasal formulations are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,476,116, 5,116,817 and 6,391,452. Formulations that include a therapeutic agent are prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, fluorocarbons, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents known in the art. See, for example, Ansel, H. C. et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, Sixth Ed. (1995). Preferably these compositions and formulations are prepared with suitable nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients. These ingredients are known to those skilled in the preparation of nasal dosage forms and some of these can be found in REMINGTON: THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF PHARMACY, 21st edition, 2005. The choice of suitable carriers is dependent upon the exact nature of the nasal dosage form desired, e.g., solutions, suspensions, ointments, or gels. Nasal dosage forms generally contain large amounts of water in addition to the active ingredient. Minor amounts of other ingredients such as pH adjusters, emulsifiers or dispersing agents, preservatives, surfactants, gelling agents, or buffering and other stabilizing and solubilizing agents are optionally present. Preferably, the nasal dosage form should be isotonic with nasal secretions.


Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use are obtained by mixing one or more solid excipient with one or more of the therapeutic agents described herein, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients include, for example, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose; or others such as: polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP or povidone) or calcium phosphate. If desired, disintegrating agents are added, such as the cross linked croscarmellose sodium, polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate. In some embodiments, dyestuffs or pigments are added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active therapeutic agent doses.


In some embodiments, pharmaceutical formulations of a therapeutic agent are in the form of a capsules, including push fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push fit capsules contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active therapeutic agent is dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In some embodiments, stabilizers are added. A capsule may be prepared, for example, by placing the bulk blend of the formulation of the therapeutic agent inside of a capsule. In some embodiments, the formulations (non-aqueous suspensions and solutions) are placed in a soft gelatin capsule. In other embodiments, the formulations are placed in standard gelatin capsules or non-gelatin capsules such as capsules comprising HPMC. In other embodiments, the formulation is placed in a sprinkle capsule, wherein the capsule is swallowed whole or the capsule is opened and the contents sprinkled on food prior to eating.


All formulations for oral administration are in dosages suitable for such administration. In one aspect, solid oral dosage forms are prepared by mixing a therapeutic agent with one or more of the following: antioxidants, flavoring agents, and carrier materials such as binders, suspending agents, disintegration agents, filling agents, surfactants, solubilizers, stabilizers, lubricants, wetting agents, and diluents. In some embodiments, the solid dosage forms disclosed herein are in the form of a tablet, (including a suspension tablet, a fast-melt tablet, a bite-disintegration tablet, a rapid-disintegration tablet, an effervescent tablet, or a caplet), a pill, a powder, a capsule, solid dispersion, solid solution, bioerodible dosage form, controlled release formulations, pulsatile release dosage forms, multiparticulate dosage forms, beads, pellets, granules. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of a powder. Compressed tablets are solid dosage forms prepared by compacting the bulk blend of the formulations described above. In various embodiments, tablets will include one or more flavoring agents. In other embodiments, the tablets will include a film surrounding the final compressed tablet. In some embodiments, the film coating can provide a delayed release of a therapeutic agent from the formulation. In other embodiments, the film coating aids in patient compliance (e.g., Opadry® coatings or sugar coating). Film coatings including Opadry® typically range from about 1% to about 3% of the tablet weight. In some embodiments, solid dosage forms, e.g., tablets, effervescent tablets, and capsules, are prepared by mixing particles of a therapeutic agent with one or more pharmaceutical excipients to form a bulk blend composition. The bulk blend is readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms, such as tablets, pills, and capsules. In some embodiments, the individual unit dosages include film coatings. These formulations are manufactured by conventional formulation techniques.


In another aspect, dosage forms include microencapsulated formulations. In some embodiments, one or more other compatible materials are present in the microencapsulation material. Exemplary materials include, but are not limited to, pH modifiers, erosion facilitators, anti-foaming agents, antioxidants, flavoring agents, and carrier materials such as binders, suspending agents, disintegration agents, filling agents, surfactants, solubilizers, stabilizers, lubricants, wetting agents, and diluents. Exemplary useful microencapsulation materials include, but are not limited to, hydroxypropyl cellulose ethers (HPC) such as Klucel® or Nisso HPC, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose ethers (L-HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ethers (HPMC) such as Seppifilm-LC, Pharmacoat®, Metolose SR, Methocel®-E, Opadry YS, PrimaFlo, Benecel MP824, and Benecel MP843, methylcellulose polymers such as Methocel®-A, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate stearate Aqoat (HF-LS, IF-LG,HF-MS) and Metolose®, Ethylcelluloses (EC) and mixtures thereof such as E461, Ethocel®, Aqualon®-EC, Surelease®, Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) such as Opadry AMB, hydroxyethylcelluloses such as Natrosol®, carboxymethylcelluloses and salts of carboxymethylcelluloses (CMC) such as Aqualon®-CMC, polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol co-polymers such as Kollicoat IR®, monoglycerides (Myverol), triglycerides (KLX), polyethylene glycols, modified food starch, acrylic polymers and mixtures of acrylic polymers with cellulose ethers such as Eudragit® EPO, Eudragit® L30D-55, Eudragit® FS 30D Eudragit® L100-55, Eudragit® L100, Eudragit® S100, Eudragit® RD100, Eudragit® E100, Eudragit® L12.5, Eudragit® S12.5, Eudragit® NE30D, and Eudragit® NE 40D, cellulose acetate phthalate, sepifilms such as mixtures of HPMC and stearic acid, cyclodextrins, and mixtures of these materials.


Liquid formulation dosage forms for oral administration are optionally aqueous suspensions selected from the group including, but not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous oral dispersions, emulsions, solutions, elixirs, gels, and syrups. See, e.g., Singh et al., Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, 2nd Ed., pp. 754-757 (2002). In addition to therapeutic agent the liquid dosage forms optionally include additives, such as: (a) disintegrating agents; (b) dispersing agents; (c) wetting agents; (d) at least one preservative, (e) viscosity enhancing agents, (f) at least one sweetening agent, and (g) at least one flavoring agent. In some embodiments, the aqueous dispersions further includes a crystal-forming inhibitor.


In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulations described herein are self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS). Emulsions are dispersions of one immiscible phase in another, usually in the form of droplets. Generally, emulsions are created by vigorous mechanical dispersion. SEDDS, as opposed to emulsions or microemulsions, spontaneously form emulsions when added to an excess of water without any external mechanical dispersion or agitation. An advantage of SEDDS is that only gentle mixing is required to distribute the droplets throughout the solution. Additionally, water or the aqueous phase is optionally added just prior to administration, which ensures stability of an unstable or hydrophobic active ingredient. Thus, the SEDDS provides an effective delivery system for oral and parenteral delivery of hydrophobic active ingredients. In some embodiments, SEDDS provides improvements in the bioavailability of hydrophobic active ingredients. Methods of producing self-emulsifying dosage forms include, but are not limited to, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,858,401, 6,667,048, and 6,960,563.


Buccal formulations that include a therapeutic agent are administered using a variety of formulations known in the art. For example, such formulations include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,229,447, 4,596,795, 4,755,386, and 5,739,136. In addition, the buccal dosage forms described herein can further include a bioerodible (hydrolysable) polymeric carrier that also serves to adhere the dosage form to the buccal mucosa. For buccal or sublingual administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, or gels formulated in a conventional manner.


For intravenous injections, a therapeutic agent is optionally formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. For other parenteral injections, appropriate formulations include aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, preferably with physiologically compatible buffers or excipients.


Parenteral injections optionally involve bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection are optionally presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi dose containers, with an added preservative. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is in a form suitable for parenteral injection as a sterile suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Pharmaceutical formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of an agent that modulates the activity of a carotid body in water soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of an agent that modulates the activity of a carotid body are optionally prepared as appropriate, e.g., oily injection suspensions.


Conventional formulation techniques include, e.g., one or a combination of methods: (1) dry mixing, (2) direct compression, (3) milling, (4) dry or non-aqueous granulation, (5) wet granulation, or (6) fusion. Other methods include, e.g., spray drying, pan coating, melt granulation, granulation, fluidized bed spray drying or coating (e.g., wurster coating), tangential coating, top spraying, tableting, extruding and the like.

Binders impart cohesiveness to solid oral dosage form formulations: for powder filled capsule formulation, they aid in plug formation that can be filled into soft or hard shell capsules and for tablet formulation, they ensure the tablet remaining intact after compression and help assure blend uniformity prior to a compression or fill step. Materials suitable for use as binders in the solid dosage forms described herein include, but are not limited to, carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate stearate, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, ethylcellulose, and microcrystalline cellulose, microcrystalline dextrose, amylose, magnesium aluminum silicate, polysaccharide acids, bentonites, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate copolymer, crospovidone, povidone, starch, pregelatinized starch, tragacanth, dextrin, a sugar, such as sucrose, glucose, dextrose, molasses, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, lactose, a natural or synthetic gum such as acacia, tragacanth, ghatti gum, mucilage of isapol husks, starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone, larch arabogalactan, polyethylene glycol, waxes, sodium alginate, and the like.


In general, binder levels of 20-70% are used in powder-filled gelatin capsule formulations. Binder usage level in tablet formulations varies whether direct compression, wet granulation, roller compaction, or usage of other excipients such as fillers which itself can act as moderate binder. Binder levels of up to 70% in tablet formulations is common.

It should be appreciated that there is considerable overlap between additives used in the solid dosage forms described herein. Thus, the above-listed additives should be taken as merely exemplary, and not limiting, of the types of additives that can be included in solid dosage forms of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein. The amounts of such additives can be readily determined by one skilled in the art, according to the particular properties desired.


In various embodiments, the particles of a therapeutic agents and one or more excipients are dry blended and compressed into a mass, such as a tablet, having a hardness sufficient to provide a pharmaceutical composition that substantially disintegrates within less than about 30 minutes, less than about 35 minutes, less than about 40 minutes, less than about 45 minutes, less than about 50 minutes, less than about 55 minutes, or less than about 60 minutes, after oral administration, thereby releasing the formulation into the gastrointestinal fluid.


In other embodiments, a powder including a therapeutic agent is formulated to include one or more pharmaceutical excipients and flavors. Such a powder is prepared, for example, by mixing the therapeutic agent and optional pharmaceutical excipients to form a bulk blend composition. Additional embodiments also include a suspending agent and/or a wetting agent. This bulk blend is uniformly subdivided into unit dosage packaging or multi-dosage packaging units.


In still other embodiments, effervescent powders are also prepared. Effervescent salts have been used to disperse medicines in water for oral administration.


In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical dosage forms are formulated to provide a controlled release of a therapeutic agent. Controlled release refers to the release of the therapeutic agent from a dosage form in which it is incorporated according to a desired profile over an extended period of time. Controlled release profiles include, for example, sustained release, prolonged release, pulsatile release, and delayed release profiles. In contrast to immediate release compositions, controlled release compositions allow delivery of an agent to a subject over an extended period of time according to a predetermined profile. Such release rates can provide therapeutically effective levels of agent for an extended period of time and thereby provide a longer period of pharmacologic response while minimizing side effects as compared to conventional rapid release dosage forms. Such longer periods of response provide for many inherent benefits that are not achieved with the corresponding short acting, immediate release preparations.


In some embodiments, the solid dosage forms described herein are formulated as enteric coated delayed release oral dosage forms, i.e., as an oral dosage form of a pharmaceutical composition as described herein which utilizes an enteric coating to affect release in the small intestine or large intestine. In one aspect, the enteric coated dosage form is a compressed or molded or extruded tablet/mold (coated or uncoated) containing granules, powder, pellets, beads or particles of the active ingredient and/or other composition components, which are themselves coated or uncoated. In one aspect, the enteric coated oral dosage form is in the form of a capsule containing pellets, beads or granules, which include a therapeutic agent that are coated or uncoated.


Any coatings should be applied to a sufficient thickness such that the entire coating does not dissolve in the gastrointestinal fluids at pH below about 5, but does dissolve at pH about 5 and above. Coatings are typically selected from any of the following: Shellac—this coating dissolves in media of pH>7; Acrylic polymers—examples of suitable acrylic polymers include methacrylic acid copolymers and ammonium methacrylate copolymers. The Eudragit series E, L, S, RL, RS and NE (Rohm Pharma) are available as solubilized in organic solvent, aqueous dispersion, or dry powders. The Eudragit series RL, NE, and RS are insoluble in the gastrointestinal tract but are permeable and are used primarily for colonic targeting. The Eudragit series E dissolve in the stomach. The Eudragit series L, L-30D and S are insoluble in stomach and dissolve in the intestine; Poly Vinyl Acetate Phthalate (PVAP)—PVAP dissolves in pH>5, and it is much less permeable to water vapor and gastric fluids. Conventional coating techniques such as spray or pan coating are employed to apply coatings. The coating thickness must be sufficient to ensure that the oral dosage form remains intact until the desired site of topical delivery in the intestinal tract is reached.


In other embodiments, the formulations described herein are delivered using a pulsatile dosage form. A pulsatile dosage form is capable of providing one or more immediate release pulses at predetermined time points after a controlled lag time or at specific sites. Exemplary pulsatile dosage forms and methods of their manufacture are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,011,692, 5,017,381, 5,229,135, 5,840,329 and 5,837,284. In one embodiment, the pulsatile dosage form includes at least two groups of particles, (i.e. multiparticulate) each containing the formulation described herein. The first group of particles provides a substantially immediate dose of a therapeutic agent upon ingestion by a mammal. The first group of particles can be either uncoated or include a coating and/or sealant. In one aspect, the second group of particles comprises coated particles. The coating on the second group of particles provides a delay of from about 2 hours to about 7 hours following ingestion before release of the second dose. Suitable coatings for pharmaceutical compositions are described herein or known in the art.


In some embodiments, pharmaceutical formulations are provided that include particles of a therapeutic agent and at least one dispersing agent or suspending agent for oral administration to a subject. The formulations may be a powder and/or granules for suspension, and upon admixture with water, a substantially uniform suspension is obtained.


In some embodiments, particles formulated for controlled release are incorporated in a gel or a patch or a wound dressing.

FIG. 3 shows a computer system 301 that is programmed or otherwise configured to generate a EIM profile for a subject in need thereof. The computer system 301 can regulate various aspects of producing the EIM profile (e.g., receiving genotype data, generating a report with the EIM profile of the biological sample, and displaying the report to a user), of the present disclosure, such as, for example, by including permissions or encryption of genotype data and/or EIM profile of the subject to ensure patient privacy.


The computer system 301 can be an electronic device of a user or a computer system that is remotely located with respect to the electronic device. The electronic device can be a mobile electronic device, such as a mobile electronic device belonging to a physician.


The computer system 301 includes a central processing unit (CPU, also “processor” and “computer processor” herein) 305, which can be a single core or multi core processor, or a plurality of processors for parallel processing. The computer system 301 also includes memory or memory location 310 (e.g., random-access memory, read-only memory, flash memory), electronic storage unit 315 (e.g., hard disk), communication interface 320 (e.g., network adapter) for communicating with one or more other systems, and peripheral devices 325, such as cache, other memory, data storage and/or electronic display adapters. The memory 310, storage unit 315, interface 320 and peripheral devices 325 are in communication with the CPU 305 through a communication bus (solid lines), such as a motherboard. The storage unit 315 can be a data storage unit (or data repository) for storing data. The computer system 301 can be operatively coupled to a computer network (“network”) 330 with the aid of the communication interface 320. The network 330 can be the Internet, an internet and/or extranet, or an intranet and/or extranet that is in communication with the Internet. The network 330 in some cases is a telecommunication and/or data network. The network 330 can include one or more computer servers, which can enable distributed computing, such as cloud computing. The network 330, in some cases with the aid of the computer system 301, can implement a peer-to-peer network, which may enable devices coupled to the computer system 301 to behave as a client or a server.


The CPU 305 can execute a sequence of machine-readable instructions, which can be embodied in a program or software. The instructions may be stored in a memory location, such as the memory 310. The instructions can be directed to the CPU 305, which can subsequently program or otherwise configure the CPU 305 to implement methods of the present disclosure. Examples of operations performed by the CPU 305 can include fetch, decode, execute, and writeback.


The CPU 305 can be part of a circuit, such as an integrated circuit. One or more other components of the system 301 can be included in the circuit. In some cases, the circuit is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).


The storage unit 315 can store files, such as drivers, libraries and saved programs. The storage unit 315 can store user data, e.g., user preferences and user programs.

The user can access the computer system 301 via the network 330.


Methods as described herein can be implemented by way of machine (e.g., computer processor) executable code stored on an electronic storage location of the computer system 301, such as, for example, on the memory 310 or electronic storage unit 315. The machine executable or machine readable code can be provided in the form of software. During use, the code can be executed by the processor 305. In some cases, the code can be retrieved from the storage unit 315 and stored on the memory 310 for ready access by the processor 305. In some situations, the electronic storage unit 315 can be precluded, and machine-executable instructions are stored on memory 310.


The code can be pre-compiled and configured for use with a machine having a processer adapted to execute the code, or can be compiled during runtime. The code can be supplied in a programming language that can be selected to enable the code to execute in a pre-compiled or as-compiled fashion.


Aspects of the systems and methods provided herein, such as the computer system 301, can be embodied in programming. Various aspects of the technology may be thought of as “products” or “articles of manufacture” typically in the form of machine (or processor) executable code and/or associated data that is carried on or embodied in a type of machine readable medium. Machine-executable code can be stored on an electronic storage unit, such as memory (e.g., read-only memory, random-access memory, flash memory) or a hard disk. “Storage” type media can include any or all of the tangible memory of the computers, processors or the like, or associated modules thereof, such as various semiconductor memories, tape drives, disk drives and the like, which may provide non-transitory storage at any time for the software programming. All or portions of the software may at times be communicated through the Internet or various other telecommunication networks. Such communications, for example, may enable loading of the software from one computer or processor into another, for example, from a management server or host computer into the computer platform of an application server. Thus, another type of media that may bear the software elements includes optical, electrical and electromagnetic waves, such as used across physical interfaces between local devices, through wired and optical landline networks and over various air-links. The physical elements that carry such waves, such as wired or wireless links, optical links or the like, also may be considered as media bearing the software. As used herein, unless restricted to non-transitory, tangible “storage” media, terms such as computer or machine “readable medium” refer to any medium that participates in providing instructions to a processor for execution.


Hence, a machine readable medium, such as computer-executable code, may take many forms, including but not limited to, a tangible storage medium, a carrier wave medium or physical transmission medium. Non-volatile storage media include, for example, optical or magnetic disks, such as any of the storage devices in any computer(s) or the like, such as may be used to implement the databases, etc. shown in the drawings. Volatile storage media include dynamic memory, such as main memory of such a computer platform. Tangible transmission media include coaxial cables; copper wire and fiber optics, including the wires that comprise a bus within a computer system. Carrier-wave transmission media may take the form of electric or electromagnetic signals, or acoustic or light waves such as those generated during radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) data communications. Common forms of computer-readable media therefore include for example: a floppy disk, a flexible disk, hard disk, magnetic tape, any other magnetic medium, a CD-ROM, DVD or DVD-ROM, any other optical medium, punch cards paper tape, any other physical storage medium with patterns of holes, a RAM, a ROM, a PROM and EPROM, a FLASH-EPROM, any other memory chip or cartridge, a carrier wave transporting data or instructions, cables or links transporting such a carrier wave, or any other medium from which a computer may read programming code and/or data. Many of these forms of computer readable media may be involved in carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions to a processor for execution.


The computer system 301 can include or be in communication with an electronic display 335 that comprises a user interface (UI) 340 for providing, for example, a report comprising the EIM profile of the subject or other relevant clinical information for purposes of informing a selection of a therapeutic agent (e.g., anti-TL1A antibody) to treat a disease or condition of the subject described herein. Examples of UI's include, without limitation, a graphical user interface (GUI) and web-based user interface.

This applies regardless of the breadth of the range.


As used in the specification and claims, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. For example, the term “a sample” includes a plurality of samples, including mixtures thereof.


The terms “determining,” “measuring,” “evaluating,” “assessing,” “assaying,” and “analyzing” are often used interchangeably herein to refer to forms of measurement. The terms include determining if an element is present or not (for example, detection). These terms can include quantitative, qualitative or quantitative and qualitative determinations. Assessing can be relative or absolute. “Detecting the presence of” can include determining the amount of something present in addition to determining whether it is present or absent depending on the context.


The term “in vivo” is used to describe an event that takes place in a subject's body.


The term “ex vivo” is used to describe an event that takes place outside of a subject's body. An ex vivo assay is not performed on a subject. Rather, it is performed upon a sample separate from a subject. An example of an ex vivo assay performed on a sample is an “in vitro” assay.


The term “in vitro” is used to describe an event that takes places contained in a container for holding laboratory reagent such that it is separated from the biological source from which the material is obtained. In vitro assays can encompass cell-based assays in which living or dead cells are employed. In vitro assays can also encompass a cell-free assay in which no intact cells are employed.


As used herein, the term “about” a number refers to that number plus or minus 10% of that number. The term “about” a range refers to that range minus 10% of its lowest value and plus 10% of its greatest value.


As used herein, the terms “homologous,” “homology,” or “percent homology” when used herein to describe to an amino acid sequence or a nucleic acid sequence, relative to a reference sequence, can be determined using the formula described by Karlin and Altschul (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87: 2264-2268, 1990, modified as in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877, 1993).

The terms, “decreased” or “decrease” are used herein generally to mean a decrease by a statistically significant amount. In some embodiments, “decreased” or “decrease” means a reduction by at least 10% as compared to a reference level, for example a decrease by at least about 20%, or at least about 30%, or at least about 40%, or at least about 50%, or at least about 60%, or at least about 70%, or at least about 80%, or at least about 90% or up to and including a 100% decrease (e.g., absent level or non-detectable level as compared to a reference level), or any decrease between 10-100% as compared to a reference level. In the context of a marker or symptom, by these terms is meant a statistically significant decrease in such level. The decrease can be, for example, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40% or more, and is preferably down to a level accepted as within the range of normal for an individual without a given disease. Other examples of “decrease” include a decrease of at least 2-fold, at least 5-fold, at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, at least 50-fold, at least 100-fold, at least 1000-fold or more as compared to a reference level. A decrease can be an absolute amount (e.g., level of protein expression), or a rate of production (e.g., rate of protein expression between two points in time).


The terms “subject” encompass mammals. Non-limiting examples of mammal include, any member of the mammalian class: humans, non-human primates such as chimpanzees, and other apes and monkey species; farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine; domestic animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; laboratory animals including rodents, such as rats, mice and guinea pigs, and the like. In one aspect, the mammal is a human. The term “animal” as used herein comprises human beings and non-human animals. In one embodiment, a “non-human animal” is a mammal, for example a rodent such as rat or a mouse. In some instances, a human subject is a “patient,” which as used herein, refers to a subject who may be diagnosed with a disease or condition disclosed herein.


The term “gene,” as used herein, refers to a segment of nucleic acid that encodes an individual protein or RNA (also referred to as a “coding sequence” or “coding region”), optionally together with associated regulatory region such as promoter, operator, terminator and the like, which may be located upstream or downstream of the coding sequence. A “genetic locus” referred to herein, is a particular location within a gene.


The term, “genotype” as disclosed herein, refers to the chemical composition of polynucleotide sequences within the genome of an individual. In some embodiments, the genotype comprises a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) or and indel (insertion or deletion, of a nucleobase within a polynucleotide sequence). In some embodiments, a genotype for a particular SNP, or indel is heterozygous. In some embodiments, a genotype for a particular SNP, or indel is homozygous.


A “polymorphism” as used herein refers to an aberration in (e.g., a mutation), or of (e.g., insertion/deletion), a nucleic acid sequence, as compared to the nucleic acid sequence in a reference population. In some embodiments, the polymorphism is common in the reference population. In some embodiments, the polymorphism is rare in the reference population. In some embodiments, the polymorphism is a single nucleotide polymorphism.


The term, “single nucleotide polymorphism” or SNP as disclosed herein, refers to a variation in a single nucleotide within a polynucleotide sequence. The term should not be interpreted as placing a restriction on a frequency of the SNP in a given population. The variation of an SNP may have multiple different forms. A single form of an SNP is referred to as an “allele.” An SNP can be mono-, bi-, tri, or tetra-allelic. A SNP may include a “risk allele,” a “protective allele,” or neither. By way of example, a reference polynucleotide sequence reading 5′ to 3′ is TTACG. A SNP at allele position 3 (of 5′-TTACG-3′) comprise a substitution of the reference allele, “A” to a non-reference allele, “C.” If the “C” allele of the SNP is associated with an increased probability of developing a phenotypic trait, the allele is considered a “risk” allele. However, the same SNP may also comprise a substitution of the “A” allele to a “T” allele at position 3. If the T allele of the SNP is associated with a decreased probability of developing a phenotypic trait, the allele is considered a “protective” allele. The SNP may be observed in at least 1% of a given population. In some embodiments, the SNP is represented by an “rs” number, which refers to the accession of reference cluster of one more submitted SNPs in the dbSNP bioinformatics database as of the filing date of this patent application, and which is included within a sequence that comprises the total number of nucleobases from 5′ to 3′. In some embodiments, a SNP may be further defined by the position of the SNP (nucleobase) within the dbSNP sequence, the position of which is always with reference to 5′ length of the sequence plus 1. In some embodiments, a SNP is defined as the genomic position in a reference genome and the allele change (e.g. chromosome 7 at position 234,123,567 from G allele to A allele in the reference human genome build 37). In some embodiments, the SNV is defined as the genomic position identified with [brackets] or an “N” in a sequence disclosed herein.


The term, “indel,” as disclosed herein, refers to an insertion, or a deletion, of a nucleobase within a polynucleotide sequence. An indel can be mono-, bi-, tri, or tetra-allelic. An indel may be “risk,” a “protective,” or neither, for a phenotypic trait. In some embodiments, the indel is represented by an “rs” number, which refers to the accession of reference cluster of one more submitted indels in the dbSNP bioinformatics database as of the filing date of this patent application, and which is included in a sequence that comprises the total number of nucleobases from 5′ to 3′. In some embodiments, an indel may be further defined by the position of the insertion/deletion within the dbSNP sequence, the position of which is always with reference to the 5′ length of the sequence plus 1. In some embodiments, an indel is defined as the genomic position in a reference genome and the allele change. In some embodiments, the indel is defined as the genomic position identified with [brackets] or an “N” in a sequence disclosed herein.


“Haplotype” as used herein, encompasses a group of one or more genotypes, which tend to be inherited together in a reference population. In some embodiments, a haplotype comprises particular polymorphism or another polymorphism in linkage disequilibrium (LD) therewith.


“Linkage disequilibrium,” or “LD,” as used herein refers to the non-random association of alleles or indels in different gene loci in a given population. LD may be defined by a D′ value corresponding to the difference between an observed and expected allele or indel frequencies in the population (D=Pab−PaPb), which is scaled by the theoretical maximum value of D. LD may be defined by an r2 value corresponding to the difference between an observed and expected unit of risk frequencies in the population (D=Pab−PaPb), which is scaled by the individual frequencies of the different loci. In some embodiments, D′ comprises at least 0.20. In some embodiments, r2 comprises at least 0.70.


The term “medically refractory,” or “refractory,” as used herein, refers to the failure of a standard treatment to induce remission of a disease. In some embodiments, the disease comprises an inflammatory disease disclosed herein. A non-limiting example of refractory inflammatory disease includes refractory Crohn's disease, and refractory ulcerative colitis (e.g., mrUC). Non-limiting examples of standard treatment include glucocorticosteriods, anti-TNF therapy, anti-a4-b7 therapy (vedolizumab), anti-IL12p40 therapy (ustekinumab), Thalidomide, and Cytoxin.


The terms “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment” as used herein refers to alleviating or abrogating a disorder, disease, or condition; or one or more of the symptoms associated with the disorder, disease, or condition; or alleviating or eradicating a cause of the disorder, disease, or condition itself. Desirable effects of treatment can include, but are not limited to, preventing occurrence or recurrence of disease, alleviation of symptoms, diminishing any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastasis, decreasing the rate of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state and remission or improved prognosis.


The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of a compound or therapy that, when administered, is sufficient to prevent development of, or alleviate to some extent, one or more of the symptoms of a disorder, disease, or condition of the disease; or the amount of a compound that is sufficient to elicit biological or medical response of a cell, tissue, system, animal, or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or clinician.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient,” “physiologically acceptable carrier,” or “physiologically acceptable excipient” refers to a pharmaceutically-acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material. A component can be “pharmaceutically acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of a pharmaceutical formulation. It can also be suitable for use in contact with the tissue or organ of humans and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, immunogenicity, or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

In some embodiments, the small intestine sample comprises the duodenum, jejunum, and/or the ileum. Alternatively, a sample can be obtained through primary patient derived cell lines, or archived patient samples in the form of preserved samples, or fresh frozen samples.


The term “biomarker” comprises a measurable substance in a subject whose presence, level, or activity, is indicative of a phenomenon (e.g., phenotypic expression or activity; disease, condition, subclinical phenotype of a disease or condition, infection; or environmental stimuli). In some embodiments, a biomarker comprises a gene, gene expression product (e.g., RNA or protein), or a cell-type (e.g., immune cell).


The term “serological marker,” as used herein refers to a type of biomarker representing an antigenic response in a subject that may be detected in the serum of the subject. In some embodiments, a serological comprises an antibody against various fungal antigens. Non-limiting examples of a serological marker comprise anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA), an anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA), E. coli outer membrane porin protein C (OmpC), anti-Malassezia restricta antibody, anti-Malassezia pachydermatis antibody, anti-Malassezia furfur antibody, anti-Malassezia globasa antibody, anti-Cladosporium albicans antibody, anti-laminaribiose antibody (ALCA), anti-chitobioside antibody (ACCA), anti-laminarin antibody, anti-chitin antibody, pANCA antibody, anit-I2 antibody, and anti-Cbirl flagellin antibody.


The term “microbiome” and its variation used herein describe the populations and interactions of the bacteria, fungi, protists, and virus that align the gastrointestinal tract of a subject. A subject afflicted with IBD may possess presence, absence, excess, diminished, or a combination thereof of a microbiome s compared to a healthy subject.


The terms “non-response,” or “loss-of-response,” as used herein, refer to phenomena in which a subject or a patient does not respond to the induction of a standard treatment (e.g., anti-TNF therapy), or experiences a loss of response to the standard treatment after a successful induction of the therapy. The induction of the standard treatment may include 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, doses of the therapy. A “successful induction” of the therapy may be an initial therapeutic response or benefit provided by the therapy.

Examples

The following examples are included for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.


Example 1: Mega-Analysis Reveals Novel Genetic Associations With Extraintestinal Manifestations in Ibd

Genotype data from ImmunoChip array was available for 11,913 unrelated Caucasian IBD cases and 8,059 non-IBD controls from three cohorts: Cedars-Sinai IBD Research Institute (CS-IBD; n=12,886), NIDDK IBD Genetics Consortium (IBDGC; n=3551), and SHARE Consortium (n=3535). Standard SNP and sample QC measures were applied. Clinical charts were reviewed to verify EIMs. We performed mega case-control regression analyses of IBD patients comparing cases with at least one EIM (n=884) and cases without EIMs (n=11,029), adjusting for population substructure. For the CS-IBD cohort, we also investigated the HLA region with logistic regression of classical HLA alleles, imputed to 2-digit resolution with HIBAG, for MHC class I and II genes.


Results: We identified EIM associations at established IBD susceptibility loci, as well as putative novel loci. Known IBD locus HLA-B reached genome-wide (GW) significance for “EIM-4” (ankylosing spondylitis (AS), erythema nodosum (EN), pyoderma (PY), and uveitis/iritis (UVIR)) and AS (r56905036 PEIM4=2.9E-08 OREIM4=1.7; PAs=1.1E-17 ORAs=2.8). GW association was also observed at MICA/HCP5 with EIM-4 and AS (r52844510 PEIM4=1.9E-08 OREIM4=1.6; PAS=1.8E-15 ORAs=2.5) and reached suggestive significance with UVIR (PUVIR=4.0E-06 ORUVIR=2.0). Novel associations include GW significance with METTL24 (rs7745186 PAS=1.2E-08 ORAs=0.54) and CACNA 1C (rs 11614966 PAS=1.7E-09 ORAs=0.40) with AS; as well as PLD5 with EN and suggestive significance with EIM-4 (r512757496 PEN=4.5E-08 OREN=0.26; PEIM4=5.7E-07 OREIM4=0.49). Analyses of imputed HLA alleles demonstrated association with AS at known alleles HLA-B*27 (P=9.0E-09 OR=2.7) and HLA-C*02 (P=2.8E-04 OR=2.0), and psoriasis at HLA-C*06 (P=6.3E-04 OR=1.5). Putative novel association was identified for psoriasis at HLA-DPB1* 10 (P=3.4E-05 OR=2.8) and HLA-DPB1*14 (P=5.3E-04 OR=2.0).


Conclusion: Genetics underlying EIMs in IBD is currently not as well understood as the genetics of IBD susceptibility. We have identified genetic variants and HLA alleles across several loci demonstrating association with EIM in IBD that highlight novel candidate loci for further investigation. Additional analyses, including IBD-disease phenotype associations, gene-based tests and pathway analyses, are in progress.


Example 2: Analysis of Extraintestinal Manifestation Risk in Subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Data was analyzed from patient samples collected from four different cohorts. The four cohorts tested were CSMC (CEDARS), SHARE (Sinai Helmsley Alliance for Research Excellence with 7 recruiting sites), NIDDK (IBD Genetics Consortium with 6 GRCs since 2002), and RISK (pediatric CD inception cohort of newly diagnosed, treatment naïve patients across 28 sites). These cohorts are depicted in FIGS. 5-6 and Table 4.

The data was analyzed through multiple comparisons. Logistic regressions were performed between the 5 patient cohorts and the cohort batch, within case analyses (e.g. IBD cases with EIM versus cases without EIM). SNPs were excluded under quality control if the MAF was less than 1%, the deviation from HWEcontrols had a p1<e-5), a SNP missingness of more than 10% or an AF difference of more than 10% (cohort, gnomAD). Minimal genomic inflation was observed (λGC˜1.02-1.07). FIG. 7 depicts a principle component analysis of the 2 cohorts.


After quality control, the percentage of patients with EIMs is listed in Table 5-6. SKIN-3 describes the percent of patients with erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangernosum, and psoriasis. EIMs in the eye include uveitis, iritis, episcleritis, scleritis, and other eye manifestations. EIM-6 describes the numbers of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and sacroiliitis, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangernosum, psoriasis, EIMs in the eye, or primary sclerosing cholangitis. EIM-7 describes the numbers of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and sacroiliitis, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangernosum, psoriasis, EIMs in the eye, primary sclerosing cholangitis, or peripheral arthritis. Peripheral arthritis includes Large & small joint arthritis, Extracolonic arthritis, Arthritis, CD/UC non-specific joint inflammation, or TBD-associated arthralgia complications.

The demographics of the patients across the study cohorts are listed in Table 7. Across the study cohort, about 15% of subjects with CD and about 13% of subjects with UC had any EIM. There was a predominancy of EIMs in CD, except for primary sclerosing cholangitis. Female subjects had heater levels of EIM, with the excepts of ankylosing spondylitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis. The mean age of diagnosis was 26 years of age. The majority of subjects had no family history of IBD and were not current smokers. The majority of subjects with CD had ileocolonic disease, inflammatory disease and no perianal complications. The majority of the subjects with UC had extensive disease.

A multivariate analysis was run on the different categories. Table 9 shows the p values and odds ratios (parenthesis) of the different comparisons. An increased risk of EMs was associated with CD, although UC was associated with PSC. An increased risk of EMs was associated with female subjects, except male subjects has an increased risk of AS and PSC. An increased risk of EIMs was associated with being Jewish. An increased risk of EIMs was associated with an increased age of diagnosis for AS, GA and EIM7 and a degreased age of diagnosis for EN. An increased risk of EIMs was associated with smoking—for patients with ulcerative colitis, an increased risk of PS and SKIN3 was associated with smoking, for patients with CD, an increased risk of PA and EIM7 was associated with smoking. An increased with of EIM4s was associated with colonic disease location and extensive disease in UC (EIM6, EIM7, PSC). An increased risk of EIMs was associated with surgery, except for PS and eye-associated manifestations. For instance, a physician can make a treatment plan based on if a patient has an EIM or a risk of developing an EIM. In one instance, if a patient has a risk of developing psoriasis, then a physician would not treat with vedolizumab, but could treat with anti-TNF, ustekinumab, or tofacitinib.

Serological associations were also compared with the risk of EIMs. Specifically, Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (ANCA), Anti-Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Antibodies (IgA, IgG ASCA), Anti-Outer membrane porin C (anti-OmpC), Anti-Pseudomonas fluorescens bacterial sequence 12 (anti-2), and Anti-Bacterial Flagellin (CBir1) were analyzed. In the Cedars cohort, 940 subjects had EIM4s and 2896 subjects did not. In the RISK cohort, 76 subjects has EIM4s and 474 did not. Serological associations are shown in Table 9A-9B.

Example 3: Modeling Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis in Crohn's Disease

A model is generated to predict PSC in CD. The model variables include sex, any colonic disease, surgery, ANCA level ASCA positivity and 7 SNPS with a p value of less than 1×10−5. The results of the model are shown in FIGS. 8A-8C and Tables 11A-11C. Model A is depicted in FIG. 8A Model B, as depicted in FIG. 8B shows the results using only the updated Cedars dataset. Model C, depicted in FIG. 8C is a null model using only the updated Cedars dataset. The models tested a comparison of clinical data only (101), serology only (102), genetics only (103), a combination of clinical and serology data (104), a combination of clinical, serology, and genetic markers (105), a combination of clinical and genetic markers (106) and a combination of serology and genetic markers (107).

Example 4: Phase I Clinical Trial

A phase 1 clinical trial is performed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a therapeutic agent on subjects having Crohn's disease (CD).


Single ascending dose (SAD) arms: Subjects in each group (subjects are grouped based on the presence of a genotype comprising at least one, two, or three polymorphism(s) selected from Table 1 and subjects without the presence of the genotype) receive either a single dose of the antibody or a placebo. Exemplary doses are 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 600 and 800 mg of antibody. Safety monitoring and PK assessments are performed for a predetermined time. Based on evaluation of the PK data, and if the antibody is deemed to be well tolerated, dose escalation occurs, either within the same groups or a further group of healthy subjects. Dose escalation continues until the maximum dose has been attained unless predefined maximum exposure is reached or intolerable side effects become apparent.


Multiple ascending dose (MAD) arms: Subjects in each group (subjects are grouped based on the same criteria as above) receive multiple doses of the antibody or a placebo. The dose levels and dosing intervals are selected as those that are predicted to be safe from the SAD data. Dose levels and dosing frequency are chosen to achieve therapeutic drug levels within the systemic circulation that are maintained at steady state for several days to allow appropriate safety parameters to be monitored. Samples are collected and analyzed to determination PK profiles.


Inclusion Criteria: Healthy subjects of non-childbearing potential between the ages of 18 and 55 years. Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, full physical examination, including blood pressure and pulse rate measurement, 12 lead ECG and clinical laboratory tests. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must meet at least one of the following criteria: (1) achieved postmenopausal status, defined as: cessation of regular menses for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or physiological cause; and have a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level within the laboratory's reference range for postmenopausal females; (2) have undergone a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy; (3) have medically confirmed ovarian failure. All other female subjects (including females with tubal ligations and females that do NOT have a documented hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy and/or ovarian failure) will be considered to be of childbearing potential. Body Mass Index (BMI) of 17.5 to 30.5 kg/m2; and a total body weight >50 kg (110 lbs). Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legal representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study.


Two groups of CD patients are selected: patients having the genotype described herein, and patients without the genotype. For example, the genotype may comprise rs2516514, rs17030062, rs9305694, rs139009610, rs28732100, rs12199223, rs1265181, rs13417109, rs17026757, rs117670930, rs115994059, rs7297515, rs13166683, rs62376929, rs4418214, rs3819299, rs2373969, rs4151651, rs9366775, rs2858884, rs2858319, rs6917611, rs6930571, rs389419, rs76558762, rs7956721, rs887864, rs9276424, rs10056322, rs6461986, and rs13421864.

Primary Outcome Measures: Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SESCD), Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), and Patient Reported Outcome (PRO). If risk either positive group shows 50% reduction from baseline, a Phase 2a clinical trial is performed.


Inclusion Criteria: PRO entry criteria: Abdominal pain score of 2 or more and/or stool frequency score of 4 or more. Primary outcome would be pain core of 0 or 1 and stool frequency score of 3 or less with no worsening from baseline. Endoscopy entry criteria: SESCD ileum only entry at score of 4 and 6 if colon is involved. Primary endoscopic outcome is 40-50% delta of mean SESCD.


Example 6: Phase 2A Clinical Trial

A phase 2a clinical trial is performed to evaluate the efficacy of a therapeutic in patients with CD. Optionally, the patients are positive for a genotype comprising at least one, two, or at least three, polymorphism(s) provided in Table 1. Patients are also monitored for development of an extra-intestinal manifestation.


Arms: 40 patients per arm (antibody and placebo arms) are treated with antibody or placebo for 12 weeks. An interim analysis is performed after 20 patients from each group are treated at the highest dose to look for a 40-50% delta between placebo and treated group in primary outcome (50% reduction from baseline in SESCD, CDAI, and PRO).


Primary Outcome Measures: Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SESCD), Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI), and Patient Reported Outcome (PRO).


Inclusion Criteria: PRO entry criteria: Abdominal pain score of 2 or more and/or stool frequency score of 4 or more. Primary outcome would be pain core of 0 or 1 and stool frequency score of 3 or less with no worsening from baseline. Endoscopy entry criteria: SESCD ileum only entry at score of 4 and 6 if colon is involved. Primary endoscopic outcome is 40-50% delta of mean SESCD.


Example 7: Treating Crohn's Disease (CD) in a Subject

CD is treated in a subject, by first, determining the genotypes of the subject. Optionally, the subject is, or is susceptible to, non-response to the induction of certain therapies such as anti-TNF, steroids, or immunomodulators, or loses response to such therapies after a period of time. A sample of whole blood is obtained from the subject. An assay is performed on the sample obtained from the subject to detect a presence of a genotype comprising at least one polymorphism(s) provided in Table 1. Patients are also monitored for the development of an extra-intestinal manifestation.


At least one, two, or three polymorphisms comprising rs2516514, rs17030062, rs9305694, rs139009610, rs28732100, rs12199223, rs1265181, rs13417109, rs17026757, rs117670930, rs115994059, rs7297515, rs13166683, rs62376929, rs4418214, rs3819299, rs2373969, rs4151651, rs9366775, rs2858884, rs2858319, rs6917611, rs6930571, rs389419, rs76558762, rs7956721, rs887864, rs9276424, rs10056322, rs6461986, and rs13421864, or any of the above combinations in which a polymorphism is substituted with a proxy polymorphism, are detected in the sample by Illumina ImmunoArray or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) under standard hybridization conditions. Proxy polymorphisms are identified using linkage disequilibrium with a D′1 value of at least 0.8, or an r2 value of at least 0.85. In some cases, the proxy polymorphism is additionally selected based on an independent association between the polymorphism and a relevant clinical phenotype of CD (e.g., stricturing and penetrating disease) In this example, one or more primer pairs described herein and/or nucleic acid probes comprising nucleic acid sequences capable of hybridizing the nucleic acid sequences, or their reverse compliments, provided in SEQ ID NOS: 2001-2031, are used.


A EIM profile is generated that correlates the presence or absence of the genotypes with a positive, negative or indeterminate result for a therapeutic response to treatment with a therapeutic agent with a positive predictive value and specificity of at least or about 70%.


The EIM profile of the subject is positive. Based on the EIM profile of the CD patient, a doctor determines that the subject is suitable for treatment with the therapeutic agent. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic agent is administered to the subject with the positive EIM profile.
