The invention relates to surrogate biological markers for drugs and methods to make and use them.
The clinical status of individuals is often difficult to assess, including in situations where there is a significant risk of death. Various clinical parameters have been associated with a range of prognoses for survival, but generally such associations have been reported as anecdotal, subjective or imprecise. To date, widely accepted precise or objective correlates are not generally available and used to guide common clinical or veterinary practice. Surrogate markers for lethality or death in humans and non-human primates have not been described. Research on a number of clinical conditions, biological responses to biological insults and survival prognosis has been described, e.g., A. M. Farese et al., Blood 82:3012-3018 1993, C. A. Cogos et al., J. Infect. Dis. 181:17β-180 2000, B. Katja et al., Shock 15:95-100 2001, C. E. Hack et al., Blood 74:1704-1710 1989, C. E. Hack et al., Am. J. Med. 86:20-26 1989, W. H. McBride et al., Radiation Res. 162:1-19 2004, A. B. J. Groeneveld et al., Clinical Immunol. 106:106-115 2003, G. P. Bodey et al., Ann. Internal Med. 64:328-340 1966, T. Calandra et al., Am. J.

Clinical and research protocols to obtain or characterize surrogate markers of efficacy or toxicity for drugs and drug candidates for treating side effects of biological insults such as a potentially lethal radiation exposure usually rely on a controlled lethal or sub-lethal whole body radiation exposure of mammals such as non-human primates or canines have not been described. These acute radiation exposures typically lead to acute radiation syndrome, which is accompanied by neutropenia, thrombocytopenia or complications thereof, e.g., bleeding and infection. Such protocols usually incorporate clinical support including intravenous fluids, antibiotic treatments or transfusions of cells, blood or blood fractions, e.g., whole blood or platelets, to ameliorate or prevent infections, bleeding, neutropenia or thrombocytopenia resulting from the radiation exposure. See, e.g., N. Ageyama et al., Comparative Medicine 52(5):445-551 2002, T. J. MacVittie et al., Health Physics 89(5):546-555 2005, J. K. Waselenko et al., Annals of Internal Medicine 140(12):1037-1051 2004, K. S. Kumar et al., J. Radiation Research 43(4):361-370 2002, A. M. Farese et al., Stem Cells 21(1):79-89 2003, G. Wagemaker et al., Stem Cells 16(6):375386 1998, A. M. Farese et al., Stem Cells 19(6):514-521 2001, J. J. Broerse et al., International Journal of Radiation Biology and Related Studies in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine 34(3):253-264 1978. The effect of the drug candidate is evaluated to determine its capacity to treat or ameliorate the effects of the radiation exposure.
The development of a protocol or method to characterize surrogate markers for therapeutic drugs, drug uses or devices that can significantly increase survival of mammals without other clinical support after a potentially lethal biological insult such as a radiation exposure, e.g., ≧ an LD40 or LD50, would be useful to facilitate drug development, regulatory review and marketing activities. This is useful where clinical efficacy cannot be shown in humans and an animal model must be used to support regulatory approval. Such approval is needed for marketing or sales of the approved drug, drug use or device.

Other invention embodiments are as described elsewhere in the specification including the claims.
Definitions. As used herein and unless otherwise stated or implied by context, terms that are used herein have the meanings defined below. Unless otherwise contraindicated or implied, e.g., by including mutually exclusive elements or options, in these definitions and anywhere the specification, claims or elsewhere herein, the terms “a” and “an” mean one or more and the term “or” means and/or, e.g., one or the other or both or all.
“Biological insult” means a treatment or event that is lethal or potentially lethal to a subject. Biological insults include exposure to or treatment with radiation, toxins, trauma, chemotherapy or other events or treatments as disclosed herein.
A “subject” means a human or animal. Usually the animal is a mammal or vertebrate such as a primate, rodent, lagomorph, domestic animal or game animal. Primates include chimpanzees, baboons (Papio), mandrills (Mandrillus), rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta), cynomolgous monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), Celebes black macaques (Macaca nigra), pig tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina), bonnet monkey (Macaca radiata), marmosets, spider monkeys and chimpanzees (Pan). Rodents and lagomorphs include mice, rats, woodchucks, ferrets, rabbits and hamsters. Domestic and game animals include cows, horses, pigs, sheep, deer, bison, buffalo, mink, felines, e.g., domestic cat, canines, e.g., dog, beagle dog, wolf and fox, avian species, e.g., chicken, turkey, emu and ostrich, and fish, e.g., trout, catfish and salmon. Subject includes any subset of the foregoing, e.g., all of the above, but excluding one or more groups or species such as humans, non-human primates or rodents. Other subsets of subjects include subjects of a given species or group of species of varying ages, e.g., young humans, e.g., about 1 week of age to about 9 years of age, adolescent humans, e.g., about 10-17 years of age, adult humans, e.g., about 18-100 years of age, and mature adult or elderly humans, e.g., at least about 55 years of age, at least about 60 years of age, at least about 65 years of age or a range of ages such as about 60-100 years of age. Thus, as used herein, prevention or treatment of a disease, condition or symptom may include or exclude any subset of subjects that are grouped by age. Human subjects include special populations, e.g., young humans, adolescents and elderly humans.
Reference to an androstane compound, e.g., 3β,16α,17β-trihydroxyandrostane, means that the hydrogen atom at the 5-position is in the β-configuration. For androstanes or androstenes with hydrogen at the 5-position in the β-configuration, the compound name will specify this configuration, e.g., 3β,16α,17β-trihydroxy-5β-androstane.
An “invention formulation”, “formulation”, “pharmaceutical formulation” or the like means a composition that one can administer to a subject, e.g., human, non-human primate, mammal or other animal, without further manipulations that change the ingredients or the ingredient proportions that are present, except for formulations that are used by adding water, buffer or liquid to dry ingredients just before use. Formulations will typically comprise a modulator compound and one or more excipients. Formulations are suitable for human or veterinary applications and would typically have expected characteristics for the formulation, e.g., parenteral formulations for human use would usually be sterile and stored in a suitable closed container.
When referring to mixtures that contain a modulator compound means a composition, that is a formulation or that can be an intermediate one can use, e.g., to make a formulation or a formula 1 compound. Compositions also include other types of mixtures, e.g., (1) reagents for assays or cells that are optionally contacted with a formula 1 compound or mixtures of compounds and (2) compounds used to make a formula 1 compound or by-products of formula 1 compound synthesis or analysis.
Phrases such as “administration of a compound of formula 1”, “treatment with a formula 1 compound”, “use of a formula 1 compound” or similar terms mean that the compound(s) is administered to, contacted with or delivered to, the subject or to the subject's cells or tissues in vitro or in vivo by one or more suitable methods, e.g., in vivo delivery can be by an oral, topical, e.g., skin topical, mucosal, buccal or sublingual, parenteral, e.g., subcutaneous, subdermal or intramuscular, route.
Expressions such as “a formula 1 compound(s)”, “a formula 1 compound” and the like mean one or more than one formula 1 compound is present, e.g., in a composition, or is used in the disclosed method, typically 1, 2, 3 or 4, usually 1. Any reference to a “formula 1 compound”, “one or more compounds of formula 1” or the like means that the formula 1 compound can have the formula 2 structure or any other structure disclosed herein that is within the definition of formula 1 compounds. The phrase formula 1 compound or formula 1 compound(s) is sometimes abbreviated as “F1C” or “F1C(s)” and formula 1 compounds is usually abbreviated as “F1Cs”.
An “excipient”, “carrier”, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient”, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or similar terms mean one or more component(s) or ingredient(s) that is acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the modulator compound, the F1C or other active ingredients of formulations and not overly deleterious to the patient, animal, tissues or cells to which the modulator compound, F1C, composition or formulation is to be administered.
The terms “effective amount”, “effective dose” or the like with reference to the treatments described herein or to a F1C(s) mean an amount of the treatment or the F1C(s) that is sufficient to elicit a desired response, e.g., detectable amelioration of a clinical condition or symptom.
Terms such as “use”, “treat”, “treatment”, “address” or the like in the context of practicing the methods or using therapeutic agents or using the F1Cs in the treatment methods or other methods disclosed herein mean that the method is practiced or a F1C is administered to a subject, delivered to the subject's tissues or contacted with tissues, cells or cell free systems in vivo or in vitro, e.g., as described herein or a reference cited herein. Typically such use or treatment results in, e.g., (1) detectable improvement in or amelioration of the condition or symptom being treated, (2) detectable modulation in the activity, level or numbers of a relevant biomolecule, therapeutic immune cell population or a pathological cell population, (3) slowing of the progression of a condition or delaying its onset, or reduction of the severity of a symptom(s) of the condition or (4) another detectable response as described herein. Any such amelioration may be transient, e.g., lasting for at least a few, e.g., about 1 to 24, hours or days, e.g., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 days, or amelioration may be prolonged, e.g., lasting about 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 to about 60 days or more, or amelioration may be permanent.
“Ameliorate”, “amelioration”, “improvement” or the like means a detectable improvement or a detectable change consistent with improvement occurs in a subject or in at least a minority of subjects, e.g., in at least about 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 100% or in a range about between any two of these values. Such improvement or change may be observed in treated subjects as compared to subjects not treated with a F1C, where the untreated subjects have, or are subject to developing, the same or similar disease, condition, symptom or the like. Amelioration of a disease, condition, symptom or assay parameter may be determined subjectively or objectively, e.g., self assessment by a subject(s), by a clinician's assessment or by conducting an appropriate assay or measurement, including, e.g., a quality of life assessment, a slowed progression of a disease(s) or condition(s), a reduced severity of a disease(s) or condition(s), or a suitable assay(s) for the level or activity(ies) of a biomolecule(s), or by measuring one or more biological or clinical parameters. Amelioration may be transient, prolonged or permanent or it may be variable at relevant times during or after a F1C is administered to a subject or is used in an assay or other method described herein or a cited reference, e.g., within about 1 hour of the administration or use of a F1C to about 3, 6, 9 months or more after a subject(s) has received a F1C.
The “modulation” of, e.g., a biological parameter, symptom, level or biological activity of a molecule, cellular response, cellular activity or the like, means that the cell, level or activity, or the like is detectably increased or decreased. Such increase or decrease may be observed in treated subjects as compared to subjects not subjected to identical or similar biological insults. Such increases or decreases may be at least about 2%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 250%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 1000% or more or about within any range between any two of these values. Modulation may be determined subjectively or objectively, e.g., by the subject's self assessment, by a clinician's assessment or by conducting an appropriate assay or measurement, including, e.g., quality of life assessments or suitable assays for the level or activity of molecules, cells or cell migration within a subject. Modulation may be transient, prolonged or permanent or it may be variable at relevant times.
At various locations in the present disclosure, e.g., in any disclosed embodiments or in the claims, reference is made to compounds, compositions, formulations, or methods that “comprise” one or more specified components, elements or steps. Invention embodiments also specifically include those compounds, compositions, formulations or methods that are or that consist of or that consist essentially of those specified components, elements or method or process steps. The terms “comprising”, “consist of” and “consist essentially of” have their normally accepted meanings under U.S. patent law. For example, disclosed compositions or methods that “comprise” a component or step are open and they include or read on those compositions or methods plus an additional component(s) or step(s). Similarly, disclosed compositions or methods that “consist of” a component or step are closed and they would not include or read on those compositions or methods having appreciable amounts of an additional component(s) or an additional step(s).

The organic moiety usually comprises one or more of any of the organic groups described herein, e.g., C1-20 alkyl moieties, C2-20 alkenyl moieties, C2-20 alkynyl moieties, aryl moieties, C2-9 heterocycles or substituted derivatives of any of these, e.g., comprising 1, 2, 3, 4 or more substituents, where each substituent is independently chosen. Exemplary substitutions for hydrogen or carbon atoms in these organic groups are as described above for substituted alkyl and other substituted moieties. Substitutions are independently chosen. The organic moiety includes compounds defined by the R4 variable. The organic moieties exclude obviously unstable moieties, e.g., —O—O—, except where such unstable moieties are transient species that one can use to make a compound with sufficient chemical stability for one or more of the uses described herein, including for synthesis of the formula 1 or other compounds.

Some of these moieties can serve as protecting groups for a ketone or hydroxyl, e.g., acetals such as —O—CH2—CH2—CH2—O— or —O—CH2—CH2—O— for ketones, which form a spiro ring that can be removed by chemical synthesis methods or by metabolism in cells or biological fluids. For any spiro ring disclosed herein and unless otherwise specified, the 1st and 2nd open valences can be bonded to the carbon in the steroid nucleus in the α- and β-configurations respectively or in the α- and β-configurations respectively. For example, in a spiro —NH—CH2—CH2—O-structure, the 1st open valence, i.e., at the nitrogen atom, can be, e.g., at the 17-position in the β-configuration and the 2nd open valence, i.e., at the oxygen, would then be in the β-configuration.

As described below, the invention provides, among other things, surrogate markers and drug products for treating a biological insult such as a potentially lethal radiation exposure.
Surrogate markers. A surrogate marker may be defined as a lab test, imaging technique, physiologic measurement, or other measurement that has no direct or immediate relationship to the patient's clinical state, but an effect on which is presumed to substitute for or predict an effect on an important clinical measure. Blood pressure may be considered to be a surrogate marker for cardiovascular events such as stroke or heart attack. Such events are clinical endpoints. At any given moment, an individual's blood pressure has no discernible effect on how the individual feels, unless it is very high or very low. However, lowering blood pressure may predict helpful effects on the incidence or endpoints of stroke or heart attack. The use of one or more surrogate markers can be used to streamline the drug development process by using the surrogate marker in lieu of the clinical endpoint. The use of a surrogate usually permits determination of efficacy or toxicity in a shorter time, with fewer patient numbers and/or at a lower cost. In the treatment of ARS or a potentially lethal radiation exposure, the use of a surrogate for survival or death such as severe thrombocytopenia or severe neutropenia can permit assessment of a drug candidate's efficacy or toxicity without a need for evaluating survival rates of the animals that are used to prove efficacy. Specifically, as described herein, the onset or duration of severe thrombocytopenia in lethally irradiated non-human primates can be used to predict death in the majority of cases one or two weeks in advance of death. When the severe thrombocytopenia surrogate is used in lieu of the survival clinical endpoint, the animals can be treated to prevent at least some of the deaths that would otherwise be expected. The identification of these surrogates for death or survival as described herein is of great use, both commercially and ethically.
Surrogate markers can either be correlates for incidence of events or endpoints or surrogates having a sufficient degree of confidence for predicting endpoints or incidence of outcomes. Surrogate markers can be used to predict or analyze non-clinical or preclinical events or phenomena. For example, one can estimate or determine the capacity of a drug to increase white cell colonies in in vitro assays (e.g., D. S. Kaufman et al., Proc. Natl. A cad. Sci. USA, 98(19):10716-10721 2001, or M. G. Mehaffey et al., Blood, 98(9):2681-2688 2001) using blood or marrow cells from an animal or human, e.g., that has (or has not) been exposed to radiation. For a drug that increases, e.g., platelet or platelet precursor colony counts, in vitro compared to suitable control cells that are grown without the drug, the result can serve as a surrogate or correlate for the effect of the drug on the incidence of an event or an endpoint. Surrogate markers for efficacy or toxicity can be used, e.g., for regulatory review where a treatment for a clinical condition is subject to accelerated review or where the Animal Rule for efficacy is used.
Validated biomarkers or surrogate markers can be used in drug development or regulatory decision making as surrogate endpoints for traditional clinical endpoints and for preclinical models. Surrogate endpoints can capture some or all of the therapeutic benefits and potential adverse effects that a drug candidate will have in a patient population. In some cases, combinations of two or more biomarkers or surrogates can be used to provide a more complete characterization of the spectrum of pharmacologic response to a drug or drug candidate. The confidence with which a surrogate predicts clinical benefit or toxicity can be expressed through appropriate statistical criteria. Evidence for surrogacy can be derived from sources such as the biological relationship between the surrogate and the clinical endpoint, the demonstration in epidemiological studies of the prognostic value of the surrogate for the clinical outcome, or from clinical trial evidence that treatment effects on the surrogate correspond to effects on the clinical outcome.
Validation of a surrogate can be based on the coefficient of determination obtained in two or more trials or preclinical experiments (R2trial) and the coefficient of determination obtained from individuals (R2individual). These trials can be human clinical trials, animal efficacy trials or experiments that are performed in vitro, e.g., tissue culture experiments or assays in cell-free systems. The closer to 1 that R2trial and R2individual are, the greater the confidence that the surrogate is valid for a given drug in treating a given condition. In general, it is desirable to obtain R2trial and/or R2individual values that are at least about 0.6, at least about 0.65 or at least about 0.7 can be used, for example, to provide insights about the efficacy or mechanism of action for drugs or therapeutic treatments. R2trial or R2individual values of at least about 0.75, at least about 0.8, at least about 0.85, at least about 0.9, at least about 0.95 or more provide greater statistical validation and confidence in the surrogate. Methods to calculate R2trial or R2individual values have been described, e.g., C. J. Weir, et al., Statistics in Medicine, 25:183-203 2006, M. Buyse et al., Drug Information J., 34:447-454 2000, M. J. Daniels et al., Statistics in Medicine, 16:1965-1982 1997. Variability in the responses of individuals to a given drug and the variability of clinical conditions tend to contribute to lower coefficient of determination values. Selection of controlled patient populations or clinical conditions, e.g., controlled radiation exposures in evaluating drug candidates from ARS treatments, tend to contribute to higher coefficient of determination values. A surrogate endpoint includes a response variable for which a test of the null hypothesis of no relationship to the treatment groups under consideration is a valid test of the corresponding null hypothesis based on the true endpoint.
Surrogate markers are obtained using generalized linear and non-linear mixed models, nonparametric quantile regression and nonparametric generalized additive models as implemented in validated software. SAS Institute Inc. 2005. SAS/STAT user's guide version 9.1. Cary, N.C.: SAS Institute Inc. One or more bioparameters such as fever, recovery or maintained disruption of circadian rhythm or circadian temperature fluctuation, stem cell counts, e.g., CD34+ stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells, platelet levels, neutrophil counts or another hematology parameter described herein is monitored over time for the exposed subjects. The survival of the subject is monitored and correlations between specific observations, e.g., the time of onset of grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia or the length of time of grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia in the exposed subjects and death of those exposed subjects is monitored. Correlation between the occurrence or severity of a bioparameter change due to the biological insult and survival, death or morbidity is then obtained, which can be used as a surrogate for survival, death or morbidity. Typically a sufficient confidence level for Pdeath, Psurvival or Pmorbidity will be about ≧0.70 or about ≧0.80.
Invention embodiments include a method comprising measuring one, two three or more surrogate markers for death or survival in a subject that has been exposed to a biological insult of at least about an LD5 or an LD10 and optionally treating the subject with an ameliorative or palliative treatment. In these embodiments, the surrogate markers are optionally selected from (i) the duration of febrile severe neutropenia or the duration of severe neutropenia, (ii) duration of severe thrombocytopenia, (iii) time, e.g., delay, of onset of febrile severe neutropenia or severe neutropenia, (iv) time, e.g., delay, of onset of severe thrombocytopenia and/or early recovery from severe thrombocytopenia, (v) degree of severity of febrile severe neutropenia or severe neutropenia, or (vi) degree of severity of severe neutropenia. The biological insult may be ionizing radiation, trauma, toxin exposure or ingestion or a chemotherapy. The biological insult can be about an LD10, LD20, LD30 or LD40 to about an LD50, LD60, LD70 or LD100. Evaluation of treatments or drugs will usually be accompanied by the use of suitable control subjects or assays, e.g., subjects treated only with vehicle or placebo compared to a treated group(s).
In these embodiments, the subject can be treated with a formula 1 compound and/or another compound or treatment as described herein and optionally assessed for the effect of the compound or treatment. These effects can include assessment of efficacy or toxicity associated with the treatment and the surrogate can be a surrogate for either efficacy or toxicity. In situations such as treatment for acute radiation syndrome (ARS), efficacy of drug candidates must be assessed in animals. Assessment of survival of lethally irradiated animals after treatment can be an acceptable marker for efficacy in humans. A surrogate for survival or death associated with treatment can arise from one or more of the markers described herein, e.g., time of onset and/or duration of severe thrombocytopenia and/or neutropenia. When a drug candidate completely prevents the onset of severe thrombocytopenia or reduces its duration, this can be used as a surrogate endpoint for efficacy, i.e., survival.
Similarly, when a drug candidate is used for treating ARS in animals, toxicities associated with the drug treatment itself can be assessed using one or more markers described herein, e.g., incidence, severity or duration of (1) degree or type of damage, loss or impairment to organs or tissues such as eye, liver, kidney, muscle, CNS, peripheral nerves, bone marrow, skin or integument, lung or bone, (2) pain, fatigue, edema, fever or hyperthermia, hypothermia, disruption of a circadian rhythm such as temperature or endogenous hormone rhythm (e.g., glucocorticoid or insulin), insomnia or weight loss, (3) weakness or impaired motor coordination or (4) anemia or hormonal side-effects such as unwanted androgen or estrogen side-effects. The incidence of a toxicity can be low, e.g., occurring in about 0% or about 1% to about 5% or about 10% of treated animals, or it can be moderate, e.g., occurring in about 10% or about 15% to about 20% or about 30% of treated animals, or it can be moderately high, e.g., occurring in about 30% or about 40% to about 50% or about 60% of treated animals, or it can be high, e.g., occurring in about 60% or about 70% to about 80%, about 90% or all of treated animals. In clinical conditions where animals are not used for proving efficacy, such levels of toxicity associated with drug candidate treatment can occur and be assessed in treated humans. The severity of any drug-related toxicity can be mild, moderate or severe, while its duration can be short, e.g., lasting a day or several days, or transient or longer, e.g., lasting several days to several weeks, or permanent.
The acceptability of the degree, type and duration of drug-related toxicities will vary with the clinical condition to be treated. Treating life threatening conditions or conditions that cause significant long-term impairment or pain will potentially allow for drug treatments with significantly greater toxicity than conditions that are not life-threatening.
Once the effect of a drug candidate on the surrogate is observed, irradiated animals can be treated by, e.g., administering blood, platelets or other blood products to the irradiated animals and/or administering one or more antibiotics to the irradiated animals. Such treatments can be used to prevent the suffering or death of irradiated animals, while providing data on the efficacy of a drug candidate.
Drug product. The drug products typically comprise (a) a drug in a dosage form such as a solid or liquid formulation suitable for, e.g., oral, parenteral, topical or aerosol administration. Packaging for the drug and/or a package insert or label will have information about the drug's efficacy, mechanism of action, the intended patient population, dosage, dose regimen, route of administration, effect of the drug or treatment on one or more surrogate markers for efficacy, toxicity or morbidity. When the biological insult is radiation exposure, the package insert or label can contain information about the radiation dose or dose range for which the drug product can be used or is approved. The drug product can optionally contain a diary or instructions for the patient to record when or how the drug is used or what symptoms or drug effects the drug user experiences during or after use of the drug. This can be used to aid in phase IV or post marketing analyses of the drug's efficacy or side effects, particularly where the drug product is used on a large scale in a short period of time and such record keeping by health care providers or the health care infrastructure is not possible.
A drug product as used herein means a product that has been reviewed and approved for marketing or sale by a regulatory agency or entity with authority to review or approve applications for sale or medical use. Uses of drug products include its marketing or sales and offers to sell or buy it for consideration. These activities will typically adhere to terms of the regulatory approval that may affect or govern marketing, sales, purchases or product handling. The drug in a drug product can be a new drug, a generic drug, a biological, a medical device or a protocol for the use of any of these. The drug product usually results from marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of a new drug application, an abbreviated new drug application, a biological license application or an application to market a medical device. Uses for the drug product include its sale to public or private buyers such as the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services or a private drug buyer or distributor entity. Other uses include use of the drug to treat indicated or approved medical conditions and physician approved uses or off label uses.
Pre-approval drug products are other invention embodiments, which can be used, e.g., for preparing to make commercial scale product in anticipation of regulatory marketing approval and other drug development and review activities.
Information that the drug product can contain includes a description of when dosing is to start. Exposure to a biological insult such as a potentially lethal amount of radiation can lead to death due to killing of cells such as stem cells or their progeny in bone marrow or blood. At least some cell death after a radiation exposure is due to induction of apoptosis in damaged cells and in adjacent cells. N. Daniak, Experimental Hematology 30(6):513-528 2002, C. Mothersill and C. Seymour, Radiation Research 155(6):759-767 2001. A significant portion of radiation-induced irreversible cell damage occurs within about 24 hours to about 48 hours after the exposure. Thus, drugs that act at least in part by reducing radiation-induced cell death will tend to be more effective when they are administered shortly after a radiation exposure. Starting treatment with a drug after about 24-48 hours after an acute biological insult can limit the drug's efficacy.
The intended patient population identified by the drug product can also specify excluded populations, if any, that may apply such as pediatric patients or elderly patients. Information about dosage will typically specify daily doses of the drug, while the dose regimen will describe how often and how long the drug is to be administered or taken. The route of administration will identify one or more routes that are suitable for use of the drug, although a given formulation will typically be approved for only one route of administration. Dosages, dose regimens and routes of administration that the package or label may identify are described elsewhere herein.
In one embodiment, the drug product is for treatment, prevention or amelioration of acute radiation syndrome or of the side-effects of a radiation exposure and it comprises or includes a formulation that contains androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol or another F1C formulated with an excipient(s) for oral or parenteral administration, e.g., intramuscular, subcutaneous or subdermal injection, with a package insert or label describing administration of a daily dose as described herein, e.g., a daily dose of 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, 175 mg, 200 mg, 225 mg, 250 mg, 300 mg, 350 mg, 400 mg, 450 mg or 500 mg, which can be administered for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 consecutive days beginning after an actual or potential exposure to a biological insult such as radiation. Information that the package insert or label can contain includes information about biological responses to the drug or the treatment regimen. The information can include a description of one or more of (a) one or more side-effects or toxicities associated with use of the drug in humans or mammals such as non-human primates, (b) its effect on acute radiation syndrome or a component(s) thereof such as its capacity to affect neutrophils, platelets, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, precursors of neutrophils or platelets, e.g., CD34+ stem cells or their progeny, infections, bleeding or fever in humans or mammals such as non-human primates, (c) the range of radiation doses that the drug may be used or effective to treat in humans or mammals such as non-human primates, (d) protocols for the use of additional therapeutic agents such as G-CSF or GM-CSF with the drug, (f) the time or time period when administration of the drug should begin for best or known therapeutic benefit or (e) the capacity of the drug to increase survival of mammals such as non-human primates that have been exposed to one or more lethal or potentially lethal radiation doses, e.g., about an LD30, about an La40, about an LD50, about an LD60, or about an LD70, where the mammals are usually not treated with other ameliorative treatments known to affect survival after a potentially lethal radiation exposure other than agents for treating pain if needed.
The use of additional therapeutic agents such as G-CSF or GM-CSF will usually be in accord with, or similar to, known dosages and dosing regimens. For use of the recombinant methionyl human granulocyte colony stimulating factor known as Filgrastim (r-metHuG-CSF), daily doses of 300 μg/day or 480 μg/day of material having a specific activity of 1.0±0.6×108 U/mg (cell mitogenesis units) can be used with the androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol or the F1C. Dosing of Filgrastim can begin on the same day that dosing with the androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol or the F1C begins and daily dosing will continue for about 10 to 14 days. Subcutaneous parenteral dosing with 6 mg of pegfilgrastim, which is Filgrastim covalently bonded to a 20 kD monomethoxypolyethylene glycol molecule at the N-terminal Filgrastim methionyl residue, can begin on the same day that dosing with the androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol or the F1C begins and weekly dosing will continue for 1 or 2 weeks thereafter. Treatment with human recombinant GM-CSF known as sargramostim can begin on the same day that dosing with the androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol or the F1C begins and daily dosing of 250 μg/m2/day administered subcutaneously or intravenously may continue for several days thereafter, e.g., for about 5-20 days, or until absolute neutrophil counts are at least 1,500 cells/mm3 for 3 consecutive days or when absolute neutrophil counts are above 20,000 cells/mm3. Daily doses of Filgrastim, pegfilgrastim or sargramostim that are administered to humans can be modified, e.g., reduced by about 50%, reduced by about 80% or reduced by about 90%, when the effects of androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol or the F1C add to therapeutic efficacy of Filgrastim, pegfilgrastim or sargramostim.
Such ameliorative treatments are as described herein, e.g., the use of antibiotics to treat or prevent infection or transfusion of blood or platelets to treat a hematopoietic cytopenia such as neutropenia or thrombocytopenia. The use of ameliorative treatments in addition to the use of the drug in the drug product can make accurate assessment of the drug's efficacy difficult or impossible to accurately assess. This arises because ameliorative treatments can increase survival and their relative contribution to clinical benefit can be difficult or impossible to accurately separate from therapeutic activity of the drug itself. When the drug in the drug product can be used without other ameliorative treatments, its use on a mass scale can be possible without a need to hospitalize patients. In a situation where a nuclear weapon is detonated in a city, there can be tens of thousands of patients with actual or potential acute radiation exposure. In this situation, local hospitals would be unable to admit and provide ameliorative treatments such as blood or platelet transfusions for more than a few hundreds of actually or potentially exposed persons. The drug product can be used to treat actually or potentially exposed persons. Distinguishing persons who have been exposed to a potentially lethal radiation dose from persons who have not been exposed is time consuming and requires blood counts.
In conducting a protocol to determine the survival rates of exposed treated subjects and exposed placebo subjects that have been exposed to radiation, the radiation exposure will typically be exposure to one or two doses of γ-radiation or X-rays from, e.g., a 60Co source. This permits assessment of the drug's capacity to treat an acute radiation exposure. The total exposure will usually occur over a relatively short time such as about 10 minutes to about 45 minutes on a single day. Spacing of radiation doses by more than about 1 day can affect the relative lethality of radiation exposure. When a total radiation dose is administered as two or more subdoses that are spaced apart by one day or more, the relative lethality or damage can be reduced or even eliminated. However, two or three subdoses, e.g., one anteroposterior irradiation and one posteroanterior irradiation, that are administered sequentially over a relatively short time, e.g., less than about 1 or 2 hours, can provide a more uniform whole body radiation exposure than a single exposure.
Control of the radiation dose is typically accomplished using standard dosimetry calibration techniques (P. R. Almond et al, Medical Physics 26(9):1847-1870 1999). The relative LD value of a given radiation dose can vary with the dose rate. Low dose rates, e.g., 1 cGy/minute, are usually somewhat less lethal or damaging than high dose rates, e.g., 1000 cGy/minute. The rate of exposure of the mammals to radiation will usually be about 20 cGy/minute to about 300 cGy/minute, usually about 40 cGy/minute to about 60 cGy/minute. The radiation that is used will have sufficient energy to penetrate the body of the mammal and a radiation source such as 60Co can be used to irradiate most mammals, including non-human primates and canines.
In some embodiments, the biological insult is exposure to a cytotoxic chemotherapy or a toxin or poison. In these methods, the drug is administered before or after the exposure to the biological insult and the drug's therapeutic benefit can be observed as increased survival or as a decreased time to recovery from the biological insult. Administration of the drug will typically begin shortly after exposure to the biological insult, e.g., within about 1 or 2 days or less after exposure, although dosing can begin at any relevant time. Thus, in situations where the biological insult is a planned chemotherapy treatment, e.g., for cancer, treatment with the drug can begin before the planned chemotherapy or treatment with the drug can begin after the chemotherapy agent has mostly been excreted or otherwise eliminated. This typically occurs when a time period of about 3 or about 4 to about 6 or about 7 half-lives of the chemotherapy agent has past. Dosing with the drug can begin shortly after the chemotherapy agent is mostly eliminated, e.g., about 1 hour or about 2 hours to about 8 hours or about 12 hours after 3 or 4 half-lives has transpired. This will minimize the potential toxicity that could exist when the drug and the chemotherapy agent are present at the same time. In some cases the drug and the chemotherapy agent can be present in a subject at the same time without unwanted adverse drug interactions. The use of suitable groups of exposed treated subjects and/or exposed placebo subjects with drug dosing beginning at varying times before, during or after exposure to a biological insult will reveal the presence or absence of unwanted drug interactions that could exist.
The drug products and protocols can be used to market or sell a drug product, e.g., as described above, or a drug, drug use protocol, medical device or medical device use protocol for the treatment of a human that has been or that may have been exposed to a potentially lethal biological insult such as radiation, comprising; (a) exposing mammals, wherein the mammals are not humans or rodents, to a biological insult that is at least about an LD20, e.g., a whole body radiation dose of at least about an LD20 to obtain exposed subjects; (b) administering the drug, conducting the drug use protocol or the medical device use protocol or using the medical device to obtain exposed treated subjects, wherein the exposed treated subjects are not provided with any other ameliorative treatment other than analgesics for treatment of pain if needed; (c) measuring the survival rate of the exposed treated subjects to obtain a treatment survival rate; and (d) submitting the treatment survival rate of step (c) to a regulatory agency or entity for review, whereby the regulatory agency or entity grants approval to market the drug, drug use protocol, medical device or medical device use protocol and the drug, drug use protocol, medical device or medical device use protocol is marketed.
The survival rate information of step (c) is typically submitted to the regulatory agency, usually the U.S. FDA, as part of an IND, NDA, ANDA or other submission. When the biological insult is radiation, the dose can be a dose of about an LD40, LD50, LD60 or LD70, or a dose of about 550 cGy to about 640 cGy of whole body radiation for non-human primates such as rhesus macaques or cynomolgus macaques.
Related embodiments include submission of survival rate information of step (c) to a purchasing agency or entity, e.g., the U.S. Department of Defense or the U.S. Department of Energy to permit the purchasing agency or entity to review the drug, drug use protocol, medical device or medical device use protocol and to determine if a purchase is appropriate or desirable.
In other embodiments, the invention provides a method to market or sell a new or generic drug, drug use protocol, medical device or the like using the evaluation protocols described herein to obtain a survival rate or frequency for animals that have been exposed to a potentially lethal biological insult. As used herein, the terms drug and drug use include biologicals, generic biologicals and their uses, which are also subject to regulatory review. In conducting the method, one, two, three, four or more groups of animals can be included in the method to provide in steps (a), (b) or (c), e.g., a placebo control group(s), a positive control group(s), a treated group(s) or groups treated with two or more doses or dose regimens. This permits evaluation of a drug or drug use protocol and collection of data for submission to the regulatory review agency or entity or the purchasing agency or entity for their review. Once regulatory approval is obtained, the drug, drug use or the like can be marketed or sold by the sponsor or owner of the drug or drug use approval or other authorized entity under applicable laws or rules.
Invention embodiments include the use of one or more F1Cs that constitute the drug or that are included in the drug use protocol or the medical device. One or more F1Cs can be used as a positive control, e.g., 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-17α-alkylandrost-5-ene, e.g., 3β,17β-dihydroxy-17α-methylandrost-5-ene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-17α-hydroxymethylandrost-5-ene, 3α,16α,17β-trihydroxyandrostane, 3α,16α,17β-trihydroxy-17α-alkylandrostane, e.g., 3α,16α,17β-trihydroxy-17α-methylandrostane, 3α,16α,17β-trihydroxy-17α-hydroxymethylandrostane or analogs or derivatives, e.g., ester, ether, carbonate, carbamate or amino acid derivative of any of these compounds, or an analog, e.g., containing a double bond elsewhere in the steroid nucleus. Typically the derivative will be one that can metabolize to generate the parent compound. The use of a F1C can include its use in the conduct of the marketing method itself, or it can be used in the marketing method as a historical control or reference compound based on published information.
The use of a F1C can also be combined with the use of a growth factor, e.g., G-CSF, GM-CSF or a biologically active fragment or a polymer conjugate of the growth factor or biologically active fragment, e.g., a PEG conjugate. Alternatively, the growth factor can be used alone or it can be used as a historical control.
Medical devices can be devices that are implanted or that permit controlled release of a drug. Alternatively, medical devices in the invention could be used in a surgical procedure that is used to ameliorate, prevent or treat an injury, condition or symptom arising from or associated with a biological insult such as a burn or trauma, e.g., a matrix that can contain cells or a growth factor(s) to that is used to help replace injured or dead cells or cartilage or to enhance recovery or healing.
Related embodiments provide a method to identify a treatment method useful to increase the rate or probability of survival of an injured human or non-human primate, comprising (a) exposing non-human primates to a biological insult of at least about an LD40/30 to obtain exposed subjects and conducting a treatment protocol obtain exposed treated subjects, wherein the exposed treated subjects are not provided with an ameliorative treatment selected from (i) a transfusion such as a whole blood transfusion(s), a platelet transfusion(s), or an immunoglobulin transfusion(s), (ii) an antimicrobial treatment(s) to treat or prevent an infection, (iii) assisted feeding such as feeding by parenteral or catheter feeding or by tube feeding to the stomach; and (b) determining the survival rate of the exposed treated subjects to obtain a treatment survival rate and comparing the treatment survival rate with a suitable control survival rate that was obtained from exposed subjects that were not provided with any treatment protocol and that were not provided with the ameliorative treatment. In these embodiments, the biological insult can be exposure of the non-human primates to whole body radiation, e.g., about 600 cGy to about 635 cGy.
Other embodiments include a method to determine a status profile for a subject species comprising, (1) exposing subjects to a biological insult of at least about an LD40/30 to obtain exposed treated subjects; (2) measuring on two or more occasions in or from the exposed subjects one, two or more biological parameters selected from temperature, circadian rhythm, red blood cell counts, hematocrit, reticulocytes, platelets, megakaryocytes and neutrophils; (3) measuring the survival rate of the exposed subjects; (4) obtaining one or more status profiles that corresponds to a defined probability of surviving the biological insult (Psurvival) of at least 0.95 or of not surviving the biological insult (Plethality) of at least 0.05; and (5) optionally using the status profile to identify and initiate a profile-based therapy for one or more of the exposed subjects.
Treatment of radiation exposure. Protocols to evaluate drug candidates for treating radiation exposure usually incorporate treatment with the drug candidate and clinical support. The clinical support usually including administration of intravenous fluids, antibiotic treatments or transfusions of cells, blood or blood fractions, e.g., whole blood or platelets, to ameliorate or prevent infections, bleeding, neutropenia or thrombocytopenia resulting from the radiation exposure.

Embodiments of F1Cs. The F1Cs that can be used in the treatment and characterization methods described herein have the structure
or a metabolic precursor, a metabolite, salt or tautomer thereof, wherein the dotted lines are optional double bonds and 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more double bonds are present, some of which may be conjugated, each R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R10 independently or together are —H, —OH, —ORPR, —SRPR, —SH, —N(RPR)2, —NHRPR, —NH2, —O—Si—(R13)3, —CHO, —CHS, —CN, —SCN, —NO2, —N3, —COOH, —COORPR, —OSO3H, —OSO2H, —OPO3H2, ═O, ═S, ═N—OH, ═N—OCH3, ═CH2, ═CH—CH3, ═CH-optionally substituted alkyl, ester, thioester, thionoester, phosphoester, phosphothioester, phosphonate, phosphonate ester, thiophosphonate, thiophosphonate ester, phosphinoester, sulfite ester, sulfate ester, sulfamate, sulfonate, sulfonamide, amide, amino acid, peptide, ether, thioether, acyl, thioacyl, carbonate, carbamate, halogen, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, optionally substituted heterocycle, optionally substituted monosaccharide, optionally substituted oligosaccharide, polymer, spiro ring, epoxide, acetal, thioacetal, ketal, thioketal, —S—S-optionally substituted alkyl, ═N—O—optionally substituted alkyl, ═N-optionally substituted alkyl, —NH-optionally substituted alkyl, —NH—S(O)(O)-optionally substituted alkyl, —N(optionally substituted alkyl)2 where each optionally substituted alkyl is independently selected, or, one or more of two adjacent R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R10 comprise an independently selected epoxide or optionally substituted saturated or unsaturated cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl or cyclooxyl ring any of which rings optionally contain a ring heteroatom such as —O—, —S—, —NH— or ═N—; R7 is —O—, —S—, —S(O)(O)—, —NRPR—, —C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—C(R10)2—C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—O—C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—S—C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—NRPR—C(R10)2—, —O—C(R10)2—, —S—C(R10)2— or, —NRPR—(R10)2—, where each R10 is independently selected; R8 and R9 independently are —C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—C(R10)2—, —O—, —O—C(R10)2—, —S—, —S(O)(O)—, —S—C(R10)2—, S(O)(O)—C(R10)2—, —NRPR— or NRPR—C(R10)2—, or one or both of R8 or R9 independently are absent, leaving a 5-membered ring, where each R10 is independently selected; R11 is —O—, —S—, —S(O)(O)—, —NRPR—, —CH2—, —CHR10—, —C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—O—C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—S—C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—S(O)(O)—C(R10)2—, —C(R10)2—NRPR—C(R10)2—, —O—C(R10)2—, —S—C(R10)2—, —S(O)(O)—C(R10)2— or —NRPR—C(R10)2—, where each R10 is independently selected; R13 independently is C1-6 alkyl; RPR independently are —H or a protecting group; and optionally wherein one, two or three of the 1-, 4-, 6- and/or 12-positions are optionally substituted with (i) an independently selected R10 moiety when a double bond is present at the corresponding 1-, 4-, 6- or 12-position, or (ii) one or two independently selected R10 moieties when no double bond is present at the corresponding 1-, 4-, 6- and/or 12-position. An individual R10 moiety that is bonded through a single bond can be in the α- or β-configuration when one is present, or when two R10 moieties are bonded to the same atom, one will be in the α-configuration, and the other will be in the or β-configuration.
When two variable groups are present, e.g., two R1, R3, R4 or R10, the groups can be the same or different. As is apparent from the F1C description, both variable groups at a given position can both be —H. However, when a variable group is not —H, one variable group can be —H or a C-linked moiety, while the other variable group may be an O-linked moiety, S-linked moiety, or N-linked moiety. In other cases, one variable group is a C-linked moiety, while the other variable group is a C-linked moiety, O-linked moiety, S-linked moiety, or N-linked moiety. Both variable groups at a given position can be a C-linked moiety, O-linked moiety, S-linked moiety, or N-linked moiety, where each moiety is the same or different when, e.g., they form a ring such as a spiro ring.
A ‘C-linked moiety’ or ‘C-bonded moiety’ is a substituent that is bonded to the steroid through a carbon atom, e.g., an optionally substituted alkyl group such as —CH3 or —C2H5. An ‘O-linked moiety’ or ‘O-bonded moiety’ is a substituent that is bonded to the steroid through an oxygen atom, e.g., an ether or ester. Similarly, an ‘S-linked moiety’ or ‘S-bonded moiety’ is a substituent that is bonded to the steroid through a sulfur atom, e.g., a thioether, and an ‘N-linked moiety’ or ‘N-bonded moiety’ is a substituent that is bonded to the steroid through a nitrogen atom, e.g., an amide or carbamate such as —NH—C(O)—CH3 or —NH—C(O)—O—CH3.
Invention embodiments include (1) compositions that comprise a formula 1 compound and one or more other compounds such as an excipient(s) or a reactant or by-product of synthesis of the formula 1 compound, (2) formulations that comprise a formula 1 compound and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more excipients and (3) compositions that comprise partially purified or purified formula 1 compounds, optionally in a composition that comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more excipients and/or other compounds, e.g., reactants in F1C synthesis or by-products from F1C synthesis. The formulations can be designed for human or pharmaceutical use or they can be suitable for veterinary use. A purified F1C will usually be at least about 80% w/w pure or at least about 90% w/w pure or at least about 95% w/w or at least about 97% pure w/w, while partially purified F1Cs are typically at least about 30% w/w pure or at least about 40% w/w pure or at least about 50% w/w or at least about 60% w/w pure. Any purified F1C can be isolated as a solid or in a liquid as a solute or suspension.
As used herein, position numbers that are given for the F1Cs use the numbering convention for cholesterol. When a variable group such as R8 or R9 is absent and the ring is contracted to a 5-membered ring, the numbering of remaining ring atoms is not changed. Thus, when R9 is absent, ring numbering is as shown below.
As shown in these structures, when two variable groups such as R1, R2, R3 or R4 are shown they may be in the α- or β-configuration and this may be specified in the variable group or it may not be specified, e.g., R1α is an R1 group in the α-configuration and R4β is an R4 group in the β-configuration. R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D are independently chosen R10 moieties, where each is in the α- or β-configuration when no double bond is present in the steroid ring to which the R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D moiety is bonded. When R8 is absent, ring numbering is as shown
As is apparent from the foregoing, variable groups may or may not be specified in chemical structures as being in the α- or β-configuration. For any of these structures, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more double bonds may be present at any of the steroid ring positions, and if double bonds are present, one variable group at the each position of the double may be absent. Double bonds in the steroid rings may thus be present at the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 5(10)-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 9(11)-, 11-, 12-, 13(17)-, 14-, 15- and/or 16-positions for any of these structures or any other F1C structures shown herein. Exemplary structures where R9 is absent and a double bond is present that displaces a variable group can
have the structure
Spiro ring substituents are cyclic structures that are usually 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 membered rings, e.g., they include 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-sided rings. In some embodiments, spiro structures share a carbon atom that is present in the steroid ring system, e.g., at the 2, 3, 7, 11, 15, 16 or 17 positions of the F1Cs. Spiro structures include, acetals, thioacetals and lactone rings or cyclic esters. Spirolactones, spiro ring compounds and dihydroxy F1Cs containing cyclic diol groups include F1Cs having the structures
where 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 double bonds are present in the steroid rings, X is —C(R10)2— or —CHR10—, and R10 are independently selected. In some of these embodiments, the R10, R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D variable groups are in the α- or β-configuration and are independently selected from —H, —F, —Cl, —Br, —OH, —OCH3, —OC2H5, an optionally substituted ester such as acetate or propionate, an optionally substituted alkyl such as methyl or ethyl or an amino acid.
In the F1C structures shown herein, R10 at the 8-, 9- and 14-positions are typically in the β-, α- and α-configurations respectively, unless the structure specifies otherwise.
F1C structures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 are
or a metabolic precursor or a metabolite thereof, wherein 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more double bonds are present in the steroid rings, R10 moieties (if present) at the 5-, 8-, 9- and 14-positions respectively are in the α,α,α,α, α,α,α,β, α,α,β,α, α,β,α,α,α, α,α,β,β, α,β,α,β, β,α,α,β, β,α,β,α, β,β,α,α, β,α,β,β, β,β,α,β, β,β,β,α,α, or β,β,β,β, configurations, R10A, R10B, R10C, R10D and R10E respectively are in the α,α, α,β, β,α or β,β configurations and they are independently selected R10 moieties, or when two R10A, R10B, R10C, R10D or R10E are present, each is an independently selected R10 moiety. Other variable groups are as elsewhere defined.
For formula 1 compounds (“F1Cs”), 2, 3 or more of R1, R2, R3 and R4 are usually not —H, and typically one or both R1 and R4, R3 and R4, R2, R3 and R4 or R2 and R4 are not —H, and/or 1 or 2 of R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D are optionally not —H. For any F1C disclosed herein, steroid nucleus carbon atoms that contain two variable groups (e.g., two R10 at R8 or R9 or two R3 or R4 at the 16- or 17-position), each variable group is independently selected and each can thus be the same or different, e.g., both can be methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, —F, —Cl, —Br, —I, or they can be different. As is apparent from the F1C structures, a double bond can be present at either the 4-5 position or at the 5-6 position, but not at both positions at the same time. Steroid nucleus carbon atoms refers generally to the carbons that make up the rings in F1Cs and carbons, if present, that are bonded to the 10, 13 and 17 positions. Additional carbons that may be at the 17-position are typically numbered using the cholesterol numbering system, although any other suitable nomenclature can be used to describe species or genera of F1C. Exemplary F1C embodiments are described below.
F1Cs include 16α-bromoepiandrosterone hemihydrate, which has previously been described, e.g., WO 00/56757. This compound is used as a F1C either as a pure compound or substantially free of other forms, such as amorphous or anhydrous forms.
Salts and complexes of F1Cs, including pharmaceutically acceptable or salts that are relatively non-toxic, can be incorporated into treatment protocols. Some of the F1Cs have one or more moieties that carry at least a partial positive or negative charge in aqueous solutions, typically at a pH of about 4-10, that can participate in forming a salt, a complex, a composition with partial salt and partial complex properties or other noncovalent interactions, all of which we refer to as a “salt(s)”. Salts are usually biologically compatible or pharmaceutically acceptable or non-toxic, particularly for mammalian cells. Salts that are biologically toxic are optionally used with synthetic intermediates of F1Cs. When a water-soluble composition is desired, monovalent salts are usually used.
Salt(s) of F1Cs may comprise a combination of appropriate cations such as alkali and alkaline earth metal ions or ammonium and quaternary ammonium ions with the acid anion moiety of the phosphoric acid or phosphonic acid group, which may be present in polymers or monomers. Metal salts can include Na+, Li+, K+, Ca++ or Mg++ ions. Other metal salts may contain aluminum, barium, strontium, cadmium, bismuth, arsenic or zinc ion.
Suitable amine salts include amines having sufficient basicity to form a stable salt, usually amines of low toxicity including trialkyl amines (tripropylamine, triethylamine, trimethylamine), procaine, dibenzylamine, N-benzyl-betaphenethylamine, ephenamine, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, N-ethylpiperidine, benzylamine and dicyclohexylamine.

The invention compositions include F1Cs, their hydrates and the compounds in their ionized, un-ionized, as well as zwitterionic form. Hydrates include hemihydrates, monohydrates, dihydrates, trihydrates and tetrahydrates. Thus, for any F1Cs or compounds described herein with any substituent that contains a moiety that is partially or completely ionizable, e.g., a carboxyl group, the ionizable atom, usually hydrogen, may be replaced with one or more suitable counter ions such as a monovalent metal, a multivalent metal, an alkaline metal, or an ionizable organic moiety, e.g., Li+, Na+, K+, Ca+2, Mg+2, SO4−2, PO4−2, CH3C(O)O−, CF3C(O)O−, F, Cl−, Br−, I−, NH4+, N+(CH3)4, N+(C2H5)4, HN+(C2H5)3, H2N+ (C2H5)2, β-hydroxylethyltrimethylammonium, piperazinium, pyridinium, N-methylpyridinium, morpholinium, N,N-dimethylmorpholinium, p-toluidinium or another ionizable moiety described herein. When a F1C is under conditions, e.g., in a solution, where such moieties can partially or completely ionize, the ionizable moiety may be partially or completely charged, e.g., —C(O)—O−, —NH3+, —C(O)—NH3+ or —O—S(O)(O)—O− may be partially for fully ionized.
The F1Cs include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric atoms. Both racemic and diasteromeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers can be isolated or synthesized so as to be substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, and these are all within the scope of the invention. Chiral centers may be found in F1Cs at, for example, one or more of R1, R2, R3, R4 or R10.
In the F1Cs, each variable group, e.g., R1, R2, R3, R4 or R10, is independently selected. In some embodiments one of the R1, R2, R3, R4, R10 at the 2, 11 and 15 positions is hydrogen and the other is —H another moiety, but usually 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 of the remaining variable groups are not —H, i.e., they are another moiety as defined for those groups. In other embodiments, both R1, R2, R3, R4, R10 at the 2, 11 and 15 positions, are independently selected moieties other than hydrogen, i.e., they are another moiety as defined for those groups such as a C1-C20 organic moiety or C1-C20 optionally substituted alkyl group. In many embodiments R1 at the 1-position in the β-configuration or R1 at the 1-position in the α-configuration is not —H and R4 at the 1-position in the β-configuration or R1 at the 1-position in the α-configuration is not —H.

Similarly, the R18 moiety can be bonded to the ring carbon adjacent to R10, or it can be bonded to the adjacent 1, 2 or 3 ring carbons. Structure 2 F1Cs can have 1, 2, 3 or 4 of R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D as —H, but usually 2 or 3 of R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D are —H.

Group 1. Exemplary embodiments include the formula 1 compounds named according to the compound structure designations given in Tables A and B below. Each compound named in Table B is depicted as a compound having the structure
where R5 and R6 are both —CH3, there is a double bond at the 1-2- and 3-4 positions, R7, R8 and R9 are all —CH2— or ═CH—, R11 is ═CR10B, R10A, R10B, R10C, R10D, R10E, R10F, R10G and R10H are all —H and R1, R2, R3 and R4 are the substituents designated in Table A. The compounds named according to Tables A and B are referred to as “group 1” compounds.
Compounds named in Table B are named by numbers assigned to R1, R2, R3 and R4 according to the following compound naming convention, R1.R2.R3.R4, using the numbered chemical substituents in Table A. Each Table A number specifies a different structure for each of R1, R2, R3 and R4. When R1, R2, R3 or R4 is a divalent moiety, e.g., ═O, the hydrogen at the corresponding position is absent.

As is apparent from the foregoing description, when no double bond is present at the carbon atoms at the 1-, 4-, 6- or 12-positions, R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D respectively can be in the α,α,α,α, α,α,α,β, α,α,β,α, α,β,α,α, β,α,α,α, α,α,β,β, α,β,α,β, β,α,α,β, α,β,β,α, β,α,β,α, β,β,α,α, α,β,β,β, β,α,β,β, β,β,α,β, β,β,β,α or β,β,β,β configurations. As used here, reference to, e.g., R10A, R10B, R10C respectively being in the α,β,α,β configurations means that R10A is in the α-configuration, R10B is in the β-configuration, R10C is in the α-configuration and R10D is in the β-configuration. Similarly, when R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D respectively are in the α,α,β,α configurations, R10A is in the α-configuration, R10B is in the α-configuration, R10C is in the β-configuration and R10D is in the α-configuration.
Thus, when a double bond is present at one or more of the 1-, 4- or 6-positions, the corresponding R10A, R10B or R10C moiety will not be in a specified configuration.

(15) Compounds in any of the foregoing groups and in (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), (13) and (14) in this group where (i) no double bond is present at the 10-position and R6 is a moiety other than —CH3. Exemplary R6 moieties are —H, —F, —Cl, —Br, —I, —OH, —ORPR, —SH, —SRPR, —NH2, —NHRPR, —CHO, —CH2OH, optionally substituted alkyl, ether, thioether, —NH-optionally substituted alkyl, ethynyl, 1-propynyl, vinyl, allyl, —O—C(O)—O-optionally substituted alkyl, —O—C(O)-optionally substituted alkyl, —O—C(O)—S-optionally substituted alkyl, —O-optionally substituted monosaccharide and a polymer.
As is apparent from the description of F1Cs, when no double bond is present at the carbon atoms at the 1-, 4- or 6-positions, R10A, R10B, R10C, and R10D respectively can be in the α,α,α,α, α,α,α,β, α,α,β,α, α,β,α,α, β,α,α,α, α,α,β,β, α,β,α,β, β,α,α,β, α,β,β,α, β,α,β,α, β,β,α,α, α,β,β,β,β,α,β,β, β,β,α,β,β,β,α,α or β, β, β, β configurations. As used here, reference to, e.g., R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D respectively being in the α,β,α,β, configurations means that R10A is in the α-configuration, R10B is in the β-configuration, R10C is in the α-configuration and R10D is in the β-configuration. Similarly, when R10A, R10B, R10C and R10D respectively are in the α,α,β,α configurations, R10A is in the α-configuration, R10B is in the α-configuration, R10C is in the β-configuration and R10D is in the α-configuration.
Thus, when a double bond is present at one or more of the 1-, 4- or 6-positions, the corresponding R10A, R10B or R10C moiety will not be in a specified configuration. Thus, this group contains compounds having structures where (1) a double bond is present at the 1-position, R10B, R10C and R10D respectively are in the α,α,α, α,α,β, α,β,α, β,α,α, α,β,β, β,α,β, β,β,α or β,β,β configurations and R10A is present at the 1-position with no specified configuration, (2) a double bond is present at the 4-position, R10A, R10C and R10D respectively are in the α,α,α, α,α,β, α,β,α, β,α,α, α,β,β, β,α,β, β,β,α or β, β, β configurations and R10B is present at the 4-position with no specified configuration, (3) a double bond is present at the 6-position, R10A, R10B and R10D respectively are in the α,α,α, α,α,β, α,β,α, β,α,α, α,β,β, β,α,β, β,β,α or β,β,β configurations, and R10C is present at the 6-position with no specified configuration, (4) a double bond is present at the 1-position and at the 4-position, R10C and R10D respectively are in the α,α, α,β,β,α, or β, β configurations and R10A and R10B are present at the 1- and 4-positions with no specified configuration, (5) a double bond is present at the 1-position and at the 6-position, R10B and R10D respectively are in the α,α, α,β,β,α, or β,β configurations and R10A and R10C are present at the 1- and 6-positions with no specified configuration, (6) a double bond is present at the 4-position and at the 6-position, R10A and R10D respectively are in the α,α, α,β, β,α, or β,β configurations and R10B and R10C are present at the 4- and 6-positions with no specified configuration, (7) a double bond is present at the 1-, 4- and 6-position, R10D is in the α-configuration or the β-configuration, while R10A, R10B and R10C are present at the 1-, 4- and 6-positions with no specified configuration and (8) one, two or more additional double bonds are optionally also present at the 8-, 9-, 11-, 14-, 15- or 16-positions for any compound or genus of compounds described in (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7).
As is apparent from the F1Cs described in groups 1 through 57, compound groups 14 through 57 contain a number of defined subgroups, e.g., group 14-3 is a subgroup as described for group 14 compounds where R1, R2, R3 and R4 can be in the configurations described in group 14, e.g., α,β,α,β, α,α,α,β, β, β, β, β, β, β, β,α or β,β,α,α, respectively. Similarly, group 49 includes subgroups such as 49-18-17-14-3, 49-18-17-14-4, 49-18-17-14-5, 49-18-17-14-5A, 49-18-17-14-6, 49-18-17-14-7 and 49-18-17-14-9, which are subgroups where R9 is substituted, e.g., R9 is —O— or a moiety described in group 18, and such subgroups, although not specifically named or described, are expressly included in group 49. The F1C therefore include all possible subgroups in each group, regardless of whether each subgroup is specifically named or described in a given group or not. For example, groups such as 22, 23, 26, 26B, 26C, 26D and 26E, all include subgroups analogous to those described in group 26A and additional subgroups that are not expressly described, e.g., subgroups such as 26-18-1, 26-18-2, 26-18-3, 26-18-4, 26-18-5, 26-18-5A, 26-18-6, 26-18-14-1, 26-18-14-2, 26-18-14-3, 26-18-14-4, 26-18-14-5, 26-18-14-5A and 26-18-14-6 are not described expressly in group 26 above, but are included in group 26. Similarly, groups 29, 30, 33, 33B, 33C, 33D and 33E, all include subgroups analogous to those described in group 33A, while groups 36, 37, 40B, 40C, 40D, 40E and 41 all include subgroups analogous to those described in group 40A and groups 47B, 47C, 47D, 47E and 48 all include subgroups analogous to those described in group 47A. Thus, subgroups such as 33-18-3 and 33-18-14-3, which are not described expressly in group 33 above, are included in group 33.
The F1Cs include compounds in groups 1 through 57 where R10F and/or R10α is a moiety other than hydrogen, e.g., a halogen, an ether, a thioether, a polymer or optionally substituted alkyl such as —F, —Cl, —Br, —I, —CH3, —OCH3, —SCH3, —OH, —ORPR, —SH, —SRPR, —NH2 or —NHRPR where RPR independently are —H or a protecting group. Thus, for any of the compounds or genera of compounds in groups 1 through 57, R10F can be —F, —Cl, —CH3 or —OH in the α- or β-configuration. Similarly, in groups 1 through 57, R10α can be —F, —NH2, —OH, —SH, —CH3, —C2H5 or —CH2OH in the α- or β-configuration or an epoxide or cyclopropyl ring with R7 where the ring bonds are in the α- or β-configuration.
The F1Cs include analogs of compounds in groups 1 through 57 where R11 is a moiety such as —O—, ═N—, —NH—, —NCH3—, —NC2H5—, —S—, —S(O)(O)— or another moiety disclosed herein within the scope of the R11 definition. As is apparent from the F1C structures, when R11 is a moiety such as —O— or —S—, a double bond at the 3-4 or 4-5 position will not be present. Exemplary F1Cs where R11 is one of these moieties includes 3β,17β-dihydroxy-3α-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-androst-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-4-aza-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-36-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-4-aza-androst-1,5-diene, 3β-hydroxy-3α-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-17-thioxoandrost-1,5-diene, 3β-hydroxy-4-aza-17-thioxoandrost-1,5-diene, 3α-hydroxy-3β-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-17-thioxoandrost-1,5-diene, 3α-hydroxy-4-aza-17-thioxoandrost-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-3α-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-2,4-dioxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-2,4-dioxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-36-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-2,4-dioxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-2,4-dioxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-3α-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-thia-androst-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-4-thia-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-36-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-thia-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-4-thia-androst-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-3α-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-oxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-4-oxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-36-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-oxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-4-oxa-androst-1,5-diene, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-3α-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-androstane, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-4-aza-androstane, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-3β-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-androstane, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-4-aza-androstane, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-3α-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-5β-androstane, 3β,17β-dihydroxy-4-aza-5β-androstane, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-3β-C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl-4-aza-5β-androstane, 3α,17β-dihydroxy-4-aza-5β-androstane and analogs of any of these compounds where independently selected —OH, —NH2, —NHCH3, —SH, —F, —Cl, —Br, —I, C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl or another oxygen-, nitrogen- or sulfur-linked moiety is present at 1, 2 or 3 of the 2-position, the 6-position, the 7-position, the 12-position and/or the 16-position, any of which are in the α- or β-configuration when no double bond is present at the substituted position, or analogs wherein one or more of these positions is substituted with a double bonded moiety such as ═O, ═S, ═NOH, ═N—C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl, or ═CH—C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl, or a 19-nor, D ring homo, 1-ene, 2-ene, 3-ene, 4-ene, 5-ene (i.e., 5(6)-ene), 5(10)-ene, 9(11)-ene, 11-ene, 12-ene, 15-ene, 16-ene 1,4-diene, 1,15-diene, 1,16-diene, 3,5-diene, 5,7-diene or aromatic A ring analog of any of these compounds or analogs. Other exemplary analogs include compounds and genera of compounds of any of these compounds where the moiety at the 3- and/or 17-position is replaced with independently selected moieties as described herein such as ═O, ═S, ═NOH, —SH, —NH2, —NHCH3, —NHC2H5, —N(CH3)2, —N(C2H5)2, —NH(C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl), —N(C1-8 optionally substituted alkyl)2, —C(O)—CH3, —O—C(O)—CH3, —O—C(O)—CF3, —C(S)—CH3, —S—C(O)—CH3, —C(O)—CH2Cl, —C(O)—CH2OH, ester such as a C2-8 ester, thioester such as a C2-8 thioester, ether such as a C1-8 ether, thioether such as C1-8 thioether, a carbamate such as a C1-8 carbamate, a carbonate such as a C1-8 carbonate, an optionally substituted monosaccharide or a polymer.

Determination of the status profile. Some aspects of the invention and related subject matter center on (i) methods to determine the status profile for a subject or groups of subjects that have been exposed to a biological insult that is potentially life-threatening and (ii) identification of biological parameters, typically biological results or symptoms of the biological insult, that can be used to obtain a status profile. The status profile is a predictor of survival after exposure of a subject to a potentially lethal biological insult. A survival status profile, or Psurvival, is the probability that the subject will survive the biological insult, absent treatment other than palliative treatments such as management of symptoms, pain, fever, suffering, nutrition, body or peripheral temperature, water or electrolyte management or other typical palliative treatments. A lethality status profile, or Plethality, is the probability that the subject will not survive the biological insult, absent treatment other than palliative treatments such as management of symptoms, pain, fever, suffering, nutrition, body or peripheral temperature, water or electrolyte management or other typical palliative treatments. As the foregoing indicates, methods to obtain Psurvival or Plethality that are highly reliable are useful for many purposes, e.g., to assess or diagnose a subject's clinical condition or prognosis or to tailor palliative or other therapies to fit the subject's clinical condition. This information is particularly useful where the status profile is obtained soon, e.g., within about 12-48 hours, after a biological insult that can cause death at a much later time, e.g., at about 1, 2 or 3 weeks later.
When the subject species is a human, the exposed patients are intended to be treated with at least the minimal acceptable treatment consistent with the subject's clinical condition and/or the biological insult and/or the subject's local clinical standards of care and/or any standard of care that is practical under the circumstances. In cases where medical care is limited or at least temporarily unavailable, measurements, e.g., non-invasive measurements of temperature, to obtain status profile information can be obtained. Such information can be used to assess or triage the patient.
In general Psurvival or Plethality values that can be stated with high precision are of the greatest interest or, for human clinical practice, utility. As used herein, any Psurvival means that the value predicts survival of the exposed subject with at least about a 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94% degree of confidence, or preferably at least about a 95% degree of confidence, which is considered statistically acceptable. Similarly, a Plethality means that the value predicts non-survival of the exposed subject with at least about 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94% degree of confidence, or preferably at least about a 95% degree of confidence. Typically, Psurvival values of at least about 0.8, at least about 0.85, at least about 0.9, at least about 0.92, at least about 0.93, at least about 0.94, at least about 0.95, at least about 0.96, at least about 0.97, at least about 0.98, at least about 0.99, at least about 0.995, at least about 0.999 or better are generally useful in the invention. Typically, Plethality values of about 0.2, about 0.15, about 0.1, about 0.08, about 0.07, about 0.06, about 0.05, about 0.04, about 0.03, about 0.02, about 0.01, about 0.005, about 0.001 or better are generally useful in the invention.
In some of these embodiments, the invention provides methods to determine a subject's status profile, where the methods comprise, (1) exposing the subject to a sufficient amount of a biological insult (or exposing a group of subjects, where the group has been exposed to the same, essentially the same or a similar, but comparable biological insult) to potentially (e.g., the probability is at least 10%, about 30%, about 50% or more to at least about 60% or about 70%, about 80% or more) cause or elicit one, two or more biological responses that are potentially life-threatening to obtain an exposed subject (or group of subjects); (2) measuring on 1, 2, 3, 4 or more occasions in or from the exposed subject (or group of subjects) 1, 2, 3, 4 or more parameters selected from temperature, red blood cell counts, hematocrit, red blood cell precursors optionally selected from CFU-GEMM, BFU-E, CFU-E, proerythroblasts, pronormoblasts, basophilic normoblasts, polychromatic normoblasts, orthochromatic normoblasts and reticulocytes, platelets, platelet precursors optionally selected from megakaryocytes, megakaryocyte progenitor cells, megakaryocyte precursor cells, promegakaryoblasts, immature megakaryocyte colony forming units, mature megakaryocyte colony forming units and megakaryocyte lineage markers optionally selected from GP-IIb, GP-IX, PF4 and GP-Ibα, macrophages, monocytes or monocyte precursors optionally selected from CD34−CD90+CD123+CD117+CD135+ stem cells, CD34+CD33-CD38-CD45RO+CD45RA− progenitor cells, CFU-GEMM (e.g., CD34+CD33+CD38−), CFU-GM (e.g., CD64+), CFU-M (e.g., CD34+CD33+CDC13+), monoblasts (e.g., CD33+CD38+CD14+), promonocytes (e.g., CD64+CD11c+CD14+), C reactive protein, nitric oxide or inducible or constitutive nitric oxide synthetase levels, fibrinogen, sepsis, respiration rate, pulse rate, blood or arterial pH, blood pressure, pH or composition of sweat, pH or composition of saliva, respired breath composition, pheromone composition, urine or feces pH or composition, blood SaO2 or oxygen saturation of arterial oxyhemoglobin (e.g., as measured by a pulse oximeter), a circadian, diurnal or nocturnal rhythm parameter, optionally selected from one, two or more of rapid eye movement sleep, sleeping brain theta waves, leptin, glucose, insulin, melatonin, heart rate, temperature, locomotor activity, autonomic nervous function, hormone, glucocorticoid such as cortisol, blood enzyme levels, B-cells, T-cells, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, CFU-Eos, CFU-Baso or a progenitor or precursor of any of these such as a neutrophil or other precursor optionally selected from CD34-CD90+CD123+CD117+CD135+ stem cells, CD34+CD33-CD38-CD45RA+CD45RA− progenitor cells, CFU-GEMM (e.g., CD34+CD33+CD38−), CFU-GM (e.g., CD64+), CFU-G (e.g., CD45RA+MPO+), myeloblasts (e.g., CD33+CD38+), complement protein C3a, sepsis, e.g., as determined by detection of bacteria in blood, liver, lung or other tissue on 1, 2, 3 or more occasions, septic shock, myelocytes, neurological damage (e.g., motor function impairment, cognitive impairment or autonomic function impairment), wherein the measurements are obtained at times before, during or overlapping with, and/or after the biological insult to obtain a status profile for the exposed subject or the treated exposed subject (or the exposed group of subjects, and/or the exposed treated group of subjects); (3) optionally administering one or more palliative or ameliorative therapies to treat one or more side effects of the biological insult to obtain an exposed treated subject(s); (4) measuring the survival rate of the exposed subject(s) and/or the exposed treated subject(s); and (5) identifying one or more status profiles that corresponds to a defined probability of surviving the biological insult (Psurvival) or of not surviving the biological insult (Plethality). Types of mature blood cells, their progenitors and methods to measure or identify them have been described, e.g., Hematology—Basic Principles and Practice, 3rd edition, R. Hoffman, E. J. Benz Jr. et al., editors, Churchill Livingstone, New York, 2000, see, e.g., chapter 12 at pages 126-138 and chapter 13 at pages 139-154, chapter 15 at pages 202-219, chapter 16 at pages 220-222 and chapter 17 at pages 245-260. These methods and descriptions can be used in the invention methods. Statistical analysis methods, e.g., Bayes' rule, that can be used in or adapted to the invention methods have been described. B. Rosner, Fundamentals of Biostatistics, 2nd ed. 1986, chapters 1-12, e.g., pages 42-136, PWS Publishers, Duxbury Press, Boston, Mass., D. G.

In these embodiments, the biological insult typically comprises exposure of one or more subjects to one or more of radiation, toxin, trauma and/or chemotherapy. Biological responses to a biological insult that is potentially life-threatening can be associated with a variety of conditions, e.g., a toxicity or tissue damage from an infectious agent, side-effects of trauma such as blood loss, and/or impairment, failure or death of one or more organs or tissues, e.g., kidney, liver, heart, intestine, stomach or skin or bone marrow failure or impairment after exposure to radiation or a toxic chemotherapy. To obtain measurements for assembling a status profile, cells or tissue can be obtained from marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph node, lymph fluid, liver or lung blood, serum or tissue from the exposed subject(s) and/or the exposed treated subject(s). Types of mature blood cell, their progenitors and methods to measure or identify them have been described, e.g., Hematology—Basic Principles and Practice, 3rd edition, R. Hoffman, E. J. Benz Jr. et al., editors, Churchill Livingstone, New York, 2000, see, e.g., chapter 12 at pages 126-138 and chapter 13 at pages 139-154, chapter 15 at pages 202-219, chapter 16 at pages 220-222 and chapter 17 at pages 245-260.
For small subjects such as mice or rats, measurement of some parameters, e.g., measuring a particular cell type in bone marrow tissue, on more than one occasion may not be easily accomplished. In these situations, obtaining more than one measurement of a parameter will thus typically be accomplished using measurements from one or more exposed subjects or exposed treated subjects once and other one or more exposed subjects or exposed treated subjects (s) at one or two other occasions to get the needed time points. Exposure of subjects to a biological insult such a radiation exposure can be controlled to within about 2%, about 3%, about 4%, about 5%, about 6%, about 7%, about 8%, about 9%, or about 10% of a desired dose or lethality level. This can be accomplished by calibration using, e.g., an acrylic phantom(s) placed in the same experimental set up that is used for animal irradiation. Such calibration will take into account the body weight, body size and shape of subjects such as rodents or non-human primates, e.g., chest circumference, weight and leg length and total body height.
For radiation of non-human primates, the radiation dose can be calibrated prior to conducting a study using two acrylic phantoms placed in the same experimental set up that would be used for animal irradiation. Exposure time for each animal can be calculated based on, e.g., the circumference of each animal at the junction of the thorax and the abdomen. The actual dose received may be determined using ONE DOSE® or by other known protocols, see e.g., M. G. Stabin, Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals, 18(4):611-617 2003. Four dosimeters can be used for each animal. The dosimeters can be placed on the sagittal plane of the animal on the sternal, interscapular, lumbar and lower abdominal regions. Dosimetry measurements using phantom and One Dose dosimeters, the dose rate, duration of irradiation and the actual time of irradiation for each individual animal can thus be determined.
In these methods, the biological insult may comprise exposure of the subjects to, e.g., radiation or chemotherapy, optionally wherein the exposure is about an LD2 or an D5 to about LD90 or an LD500. As used here LD2 means an injury or insult that would on average lead to death of 2% of exposed subjects, while LD50 means an injury or insult that would on average lead to death of 50% of exposed subjects, absent an ameliorative treatment. The biological insult, e.g., radiation dose, can be about an LD0.1, about an LD0.5, about an LD1, about an LD2, about an LD5, about an LD10, about an LD20, about an LD30, about an LD40, about an LD50, about an LD60, about an LD70, about an LD80, about an LD90, about an LD100, or a dose that is about 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5 or 5 fold higher than a LD100 dose or a dose within any range between any two of these values, e.g., from about an LD5, about an LD20 or about an LD40, to about an LD55, about an LD60 or about an LD90. Exemplary radiation dose ranges or exposures include about an LD50, about an LD30 to about an LD70 dose or exposure or about an LD40 to about an LD60 dose or exposure. For any of these biological insults that can elicit one, two or more biological responses that are potentially life-threatening, the time of survival will usually be determined at 30 days or at 60 days after the biological insult has occurred. An LD50160 is a 50% survival rate at 60 days after the biological insult, while an LD50/30 is a 50% survival rate at 30 days after the biological insult. For humans, survival is often determined at 60 days after exposure and for other subjects survival is typically determined at about 20 days, 30 days or 60 days after exposure.
Where the biological insult is accidental or intentional exposure to radiation, the radiation may comprise one, two or more of γ-radiation, x-radiation, α-radiation, (3-radiation, fast neutron radiation, slow neutron radiation, cosmic radiation, ultraviolet A radiation, ultraviolet B radiation, microwave radiation, 60Co radiation, 137Cs radiation, 89Sr, 90 Sr, 131I, 32P, 35S, 24Na, 32K, 131Ce, 235U and/or heavy particle radiation, e.g., silicon or boron particle radiation. Survival rates can be measured at 30 days and/or at 60 days after exposure to the radiation. Radiation exposure can arise from an external source, inhaled radioactive material, ingested radioactive material and/or implanted radioactive material, any of which may arise from an accidental exposure or from an intentional exposure, e.g., for a therapy.
The biological insult will typically occur over a relatively short period of time, e.g., over a period of from less than about a minute or about 5 minutes to about 1 hour or about 2 hours. In some cases, the biological insult, e.g., tissue damage from a trauma such as surgery, a serious wound or a skin or chemical burn, can occur over a longer time, e.g., over about 2 hours or about 3 hours to about 4 hours, about 12 hours or about 1, 2, 3 or more days. In these cases, the time of the biological insult can be considered to be at about the time when any significant injury has occurred or when acute aspects or symptoms of the injury have had time to become apparent or to cause significant tissue or organ impairment. Specific types of biological insult that are applicable to these methods are as described elsewhere herein, including one or more of radiation exposure, toxin or poison exposure or ingestion, chemotherapy including myelosuppressive therapy and glucocorticoid therapy, infection, cancer, ischemia, hemorrhage, stroke or other trauma conditions. Typically the biological insult is of a sufficient magnitude to elicit a potentially life-threatening biological response.
The treatments include treating acute radiation syndrome (ARS), which is an acute condition caused by exposure of the whole human body or a significant portion thereof to ionizing radiation. ARS follows a somewhat predictable course and is characterized by signs and symptoms that are manifestations of the specific reaction of various cells, tissues, and organ systems to ionizing radiation. ARS-associated morbidity and mortality are divided into the following three general categories of whole body radiation given over a short period of time, recognizing that combined injury (radiation plus trauma), extremes of age, and co-morbid illnesses increase the risk of mortality. The limited clinical range occurs at a radiation dose of about 0-2 Gy, which is associated with minimal mortality, but with possible overt symptoms. The sub-lethal range arises from a radiation dose of about 2-8 Gy, which results in low to moderate mortality if therapy is provided. Mortality is moderate to high without therapy. The lethal clinical range occurs at a radiation dose of at least about 8 Gy, which is usually lethal even with therapy. Therapy typically includes transfusions with blood or blood products or administration of or more of antibiotics, antiemetics, electrolytes, analgesics or growth factors such as GM-CSF or EPO. Antibiotic use can be to treat or prevent infection.
ARS is characterized by four distinct phases: a prodromal period, a latent period, a period of illness, and one of recovery or death. During the prodromal period, patients might experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea; after extremely high doses, additional symptoms such as fever, prostration, respiratory distress, and hyperexcitability can occur. At very high doses, there can be cardiovascular collapse and death within the first 1 to 2 days. However, in general, the initial symptoms usually disappear in a day or two, and a symptom-free, latent period follows, varying in length depending upon the amount of the radiation dose, the percent of the body exposed and the rate at which it is delivered. A period of overt illness follows, and can be characterized by infection, electrolyte imbalance, diarrhea, bleeding, cardiovascular collapse, and sometimes short periods of unconsciousness. Death or a period of recovery follows the period of overt illness. In general, the higher the dose the greater the severity of early effects and the greater the possibility of late effects following recovery from acute illness. Time to onset of symptoms is related to exposure, with shorter symptom onset time equating with higher radiation doses.
In any of these methods, a status profile corresponding to (i) a defined probability of individual subject surviving the biological insult, Psurvival, or (ii) a defined probability of an individual subject not surviving the biological insult, Plethahty, is obtained in step (5). The status profile will typically be obtained for a group of exposed subjects. However, a single individual can be used to obtain a status profile, usually when a suitable comparator status profile is available. For example, when a status profile is available for a species such as rhesus macaque, cynomolgus macaque or a chimpanzee, the status profile can be applied to or used for a closely related species such as a human or a baboon in the same or a similar or comparable clinical situation. Determination of a similar or comparable clinical situation can be based, e.g., on a clinician's or veterinarian's judgment and/or measurement of one or more biological parameters in or from the subject. In some cases, the known status profile will be based on a biological insult and/or biological responses that are the essentially the same or similar to those used for the species where the status profile is not as well characterized or is unknown.
Status profiles can thus be obtained for (i) an individual subject, (ii) exposed treated subjects or groups of subjects and/or (iii) exposed treated individual subjects or groups and/or (iv) an individual or subject that is of the same species or a closely related species that has received the same biological insult, e.g., radiation or chemotherapy dose, essentially the same biological insult or a similar or otherwise comparable biological insult and/or (vi) an individual subject or exposed treated individual subjects or groups of subjects that is/are of the same species or a closely related species that has received the same biological insult, essentially the same biological insult or a similar or otherwise comparable biological insult.
As noted above, the status profile can be established so as to predict either lethality or death (Plethality) or survival (Psurvival) with a defined probability. Several statistical methods can be used to calculate the probability for the status profile. These methods include use of one-way, two-way, two-way repeated-measures ANOVA (with day and time-of-day as the repeated measures), spectral analysis, generalized linear mixed models, generalized linear and non-linear mixed models and/or autogressive moving average models. In some cases, such models can describe or capture the essence of a subject's past profile data and thus they can be used to project and forecast the evolution of the profile to collapse of an exposed subject's immune system or to survival of the subject.
As is apparent from the foregoing discussion, depending on the number of subjects and the statistical method that is used, the value of Plethality or Psurvival can vary from levels that are not remarkable to levels that are highly deterministic, e.g., Plethality or Psurvival is about 0.15 or about 0.1 to levels that are typically considered statistically significant (i.e., statistically significantly not zero), e.g., P is at least 0.5, or highly significant, e.g., P is at least about 0.9 or at least about 0.95. Knowledge of the P allows the clinician to tailor any clinical or therapeutic treatment to the subject's clinical condition.
In some embodiments, the status profile comprises temperature or temperature profile and optionally one, two or more of red blood cell count, blood hematocrit, blood reticulocyte count, relative reticulocyte count, blood platelet count, blood megakaryocyte count from one or more exposed subjects or groups of exposed subjects, or one or more exposed treated subjects or groups of exposed treated subjects. In other embodiments, (i) the status profile comprises red blood cell count, blood hematocrit, relative reticulocyte count or blood reticulocyte count, and optionally one, two or more of temperature or temperature profile, blood platelet count or blood megakaryocyte count from one or more exposed subjects or groups of exposed subjects, or one or more exposed treated subjects or groups of exposed treated subjects, or (ii) the status profile comprises blood platelet count or blood megakaryocyte count and optionally one, two or more of temperature or temperature profile, red blood cell count, blood hematocrit, relative reticulocyte count or blood reticulocyte count from one or more exposed subjects or groups of exposed subjects, or one or more exposed treated subjects or groups of exposed treated subjects, or (iii) the status profile comprises neutrophil count, white blood cell count or absolute white blood cell differential, and optionally one, two or more of temperature or temperature profile, red blood cell count, blood hematocrit, blood reticulocyte count blood platelet count or blood megakaryocyte count from one or more exposed subjects or groups of exposed subjects, or one or more exposed treated subjects or groups, (vi) the status profile comprises one or two biological parameters described herein, and optionally one, two or more of neutrophil count, white blood cell count or absolute white blood cell differential, temperature or temperature profile, red blood cell count, blood hematocrit, blood reticulocyte count blood platelet count or blood megakaryocyte count from one or more exposed subjects or groups of exposed subjects, or one or more exposed treated subjects or groups.
As is apparent from the foregoing discussion, reference to a status profile that comprises one or more biological parameters described herein, e.g., temperature, circadian rhythm, blood pressure, hematocrit, red cell count, neutrophil count and/or platelet counts, means that the subject(s) status profile is based on one or more measurements of that parameter. Typically, most of these measurements are at a time after the biological insult when the biological parameter is changed, i.e., detectably increased or decreased, which may be a statistically significant change or not, from baseline or the exposed subject(s) or for one or more reference subjects of the same or a closely related species that have been exposed to at the same or a similar or comparable biological insult and where a status profile has previously been established for the closely related species.
As used herein, the phrase ‘closely related species’ generally refers to species or subspecies (i) that are in the same Order or Family, usually in the same Genus, and/or (ii) wherein the subjects share at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 98% or at least about 99% homology for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more genes that are considered reasonable or reliable indicators of taxonomic relatedness for species in a given Phylum, Class, Order, Family or Genus, e.g., cytochrome, immunoglobulin, enzyme or cell surface molecule. In general, humans and most non-human primates are closely related species and thus a status profile for a non-human primate such as Rhesus monkey (Macaca mullata), Cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis), Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata), African Green monkey, pig-tailed macaque, marmoset, cotton top tamarin, talapoin monkey (Miopithecus talapoin), squirrel monkey, or a baboon such as the olive baboon, that is based on a biological insult or biological parameters described herein is a suitable reference for a human that has been exposed to the same or a similar biological insult. It will be appreciated that in some cases, a status profile for a human may be obtained for exposed treated individuals, since medical care standards dictate that persons receiving biological insults that are potentially life-threatening, e.g., high dose radiotherapy or high dose cancer or glucocorticoid chemotherapy, also usually or always receive other ameliorative, palliative treatments such as antibiotic treatments or platelet transfusions. In other cases, reference to a status profile from a closely related species can be used, including in situations where the status profile is based on exposed subjects, e.g., non-human primates, that are not exposed treated subjects.
In any of these embodiments, measurements of any of the biological parameters can be obtained on one or more occasions, but typically a given parameter will be measured on 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 or more occasions, any of which measurements may be begun before, during or after the subject or subjects have been or will be exposed to the biological insult. Measurements of biological parameters described herein, e.g., mature or immature blood cell types, will typically be obtained at intervals of at least about 6 hours, at least about 12 hours, at least about 1 day, at least about 1.5 days, at least about 2 days, at least about 3 days and/or at least about 4 days, usually on two, three, four or more occasions. When biological parameters, e.g., one, two or more of temperature, heart rate, SaO2, blood pressure, or a parameter that can be measured continuously or measured by suitable apparatus, are measured on many occasions, e.g., on about 15, about 20 or more occasions, the biological parameter can be monitored continuously, which can optionally be monitored in real time. When the temperature is measured on 4 or more occasions, the measurements can be obtained on a periodic basis, optionally in real time, optionally wherein the real time temperature measurements are obtained at intervals of about 1 minute or about 2 minutes to about 5 minutes, about 10 minutes or about 20 minutes.
When measurement of core body or peripheral temperature is taken to determine if the subject's circadian rhythm has been significantly disrupted, e.g., when the normal daily temperature fluctuations associated with the subject species has been completely or at least partially obscured as observed by sufficient temperature measurements to reliably detect disruption. Temperature measurements can be oral, axillary, rectal, tympanic, skin, rectal or from an implanted or ingested device for core temperature. Temperature measurements can be measured intermittently and/or continuously, e.g., on intervals of about 0.1-30 minutes or about 0.5-10 minutes, or periodically at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or more times in a 1, 2 or 3 day period when a characteristic temperature associated with the normal circadian rhythm is expected. Usually core body temperature will be measured to assess circadian rhythm. Other means to assess disruption of circadian rhythm can also be used. Circadian rhythm can be assessed over a 48 hour or 72 hour period using a Mini-Motionlogger Actigraph (Ambulatory Monitoring, Ardsley, N.Y.), starting within 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 6 or more days after the biological insult. For biological insults such as cancer chemotherapy, monitoring will begin at about 5, 6 or 7 days after administration of the chemotherapy agent. For biological insults such as radiation exposure, monitoring will begin at about 2 hours or about 6 hours to about 1 or 2 days after the exposure. Daily patterns of sleep and activity can be compared across the monitoring period using autocorrelation analyses to calculate a circadian rhythm score for each subject, with higher scores associated with lower disruption. Comparisons of fatigue, depression and/or mood with subject circadian rhythm measures taken after the biological insult. Changes in fatigue, depression and mood measures are compared with concurrent changes in circadian rhythm. Other parameters or analyses that can be measured on one or more occasions or used to assess circadian rhythm and its disruption include (i) measuring elevated or decreased cortisol or IL-6 at about 9:00 a.m. to about 12:00 p.m. on 1, 2, 3, 4 or more days (elevated human blood cortisol is about 32+/−5 μg/dL of blood and normal human blood cortisol is about 18+/−7 μg/dL of blood), (ii) variations in skin temperature or skin blood flow using, e.g., laser Doppler imaging or a skin thermometer over a about 24 hours, 28 hours, about 48 hours or linger, (iii) casino analysis to estimate circadian rhythm meson, amplitude or atrophies, (iv) salivary or blood endothelia or melatonin levels, (v) theta, sigma and/or delta sleep brain wave patterns, (vi) blood C reactive protein or fibrinogen level, and/or (vii) circulating DHEA levels. Methods to assess the circadian rhythm and its disruption have been described and they can be applied in the present methods, see, e.g., J. A. Roscoe et al., Support Care Cancer. 10(4):329-36, 2002, P. Fantidis et al., Eur. J. Clin. Invest. 32:304-308 2002, G. Yosipovitch et al., J. Invest. Dermatol. 122:824-829 2004, K. A. Thomas et al., Biol. Res. Nurs. 5:187-194 2004, S. Xiang et al., Clin. Chem. 49:2012-2019 2003, C. J. van den Heuvel et al., Physiol. Meas. 24:717-725 2003, and X. Tan et al., Neurosci. Lett. 344:205-208 2003.
Core body temperature or peripheral temperature can be obtained using an implanted device, which can be surgically implanted, taken orally or using a device such as a thermistor in an indwelling catheter, central venous catheter or other line that is in a artery or vein in a subject or core body temperatures can be obtained by measuring rectal temperature for all or at least a part of the time period when temperature is being monitored. When a temperature measuring device is used in an indwelling line, other devices may also be used to measure one or more other biological parameters such as blood pressure, blood oxygen levels, blood pH or electrolyte composition, any of which can be periodically measured, e.g., once per minute, once per 5 minutes or once per 10 minutes, any of which measurements are optionally taken on a real time basis. Temperature is optionally measured on 4 or more occasions or is measured on a periodic basis, optionally in real time, optionally wherein the real time temperature measurements are obtained at intervals of about 1 minute to about 60 minutes, e.g., at about 5 minute, about 10 minute, about 15 minute or about 20 minute intervals.
For some biological parameters, e.g., neutrophil counts, red cell counts, hematocrit, platelet counts, sepsis or a temperature drop associated with sepsis, a relatively small number of measurements can typically be used to obtain a status profile, e.g., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 measurements are obtained. For any of these parameters or for survival of the subjects, measurements or observations are optionally made over a period of about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 or more days. Any biological parameter described herein can be measured on a few occasions or on many occasions, where this is practical or possible under the circumstances as is apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
For measuring blood cells or precursors or markers or other biological parameters that usually at least transiently decrease or that can be are disrupted after the biological insult, e.g., one or more elements, biomolecules or biological parameters that vary on a circadian rhythm, and/or one or two of the nadir or lowest value(s) for that parameter will usually be used in the calculation of the exposed subject(s)' status profile. For measuring temperature, heart rate or other biological parameters that usually at least transiently increase or are disrupted, e.g., circadian rhythm or an element thereof, after the biological insult, one or two of the peak or high value(s) for that parameter or for the disruption will usually be used in the calculation of the exposed subject(s)' status profile. When a relatively small number of measurements are anticipated or are only practical, the measurements will typically be timed, where possible, to coincide with time(s) when the parameter is the most informative in terms of adding statistical power to the status profile. Thus, for decreases or other changes in blood cells or components such as red cells, reticulocytes, platelets, megakaryocytes, neutrophils or other biological parameters described herein in humans or non-human primates these measurements will be close to or within the time period when a nadir for that parameter would be expected, e.g., on one, two or more occasions at about 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 days after exposure to radiation or a myelosuppressive or cytotoxic cancer chemotherapy. Similarly, these measurements in humans or non-human primates will be close to or within the time period when a peak or maximum for a parameter such as temperature or the degree of disruption of the circadian rhythm or an element thereof, would be expected, e.g., on one, two or more occasions at about 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days after exposure to radiation, a myelosuppressive or cytotoxic cancer chemotherapy or a serious trauma, e.g., hemorrhagic trauma. Biological parameters in humans or non-human primates such as sepsis, pain, fatigue, heart rate, hypotension or hypertension, are expected to peak or have a maximum change for baseline at about 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or 21 days. Once a status profile is known or a given type of biological insult, the number and time of parameter measurements can be targeted to the times that are the most informative under the circumstances.
When two or more biological parameters are used to obtain the subject's status profile, measurements of each parameter can be initiated at about the same time, essentially the same time or at different times. However, measurements of each parameter, or preparation to measure each parameter, will typically begin (i) at about the same time, e.g., within about 10-30 minutes or within 1 or 2 hours of each other or (ii) at essentially the same time, e.g., measurements of each biological parameter, or preparation to measure each parameter, are initiated on the same day, usually within about 2.5 hours or about 3 hours to about 4 hours or about 6 hours. In some embodiments, most, e.g., at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 90% or all, of these measurements will occur beginning after the subject(s) has been exposed to the biological insult.
The subject in the methods can be a non-human primate, a human, a rodent, a lagomorph, a canine, a feline, a myomorph, a lagomorph, a chiropteran, an artiodactyl or porcine, a carnivore, a rodent or another type of subject described herein.
To obtain data for some of these methods, a F1C can be administered to a subject or group of subjects. This can comprise administering to a subject exposed to a biological insult, or delivering to the exposed subject's tissues, an effective amount of any F1C compound or structure disclosed herein.
Specific exemplary status profiles include status profiles that are based on measuring the following combinations of biological parameters, which are measured on one or more occasions:

In general, a significant change in the normal rhythm or signature in any of the elements of the composite of a circadian rhythm can occur as a biological response to the biological insult. A significant change is generally a change that is statistically significantly not zero, e.g., P<0.05, or a change that is nearly statistically significantly not zero, e.g., P<0.15, P<0.12 or P<0.10. A change(s) can be observed in one, two, three or more of the elements of the composite of a circadian rhythm, e.g., circadian sex steroid levels, cortisol, IL-6, melatonin or other molecules described herein. Change in circadian temperature can be observed as a relatively flat daily temperature profile, intermittent changes, e.g., hectic fever, as significant shifts in cycle timing, exaggerated temperature peaks and/or valleys or as combinations of these situations.
Any of the invention methods disclosed herein are optionally combined with one or more other treatments. In some embodiments, guanylyl cyclase or cGMP synthesis enhancers such as substance P, substance P analogs, substance P mimetics or nitroglycerin are administered alone or in combination with a F1C treatment. Guanylyl cyclases that can be modulated, e.g., at least transiently enhanced, include soluble NO-activated guanylyl cyclase in neurons or other CNS cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, other white blood cells and/or muscle cells or myocytes. In some embodiments, one or more of these treatments are used without administering any F1C, e.g., to characterize the capacity of therapeutic agent to affect one, two or more biological responses to a biological insult, e.g., radiation exposure, or as a therapy that is optionally combined with a blood or blood fraction transfusion and/or one or more antimicrobial therapies, e.g., to prevent or treat a bacterial, fungal or viral infection that may be caused by or exacerbated by a biological insult.
Definition of clinical conditions such as Grade II, III or IV fever, fatigue, weight loss, pain, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, anemia, hypotension, hypertension, hypoxia, skin burn, rash, skin ulceration, anorexia, colitis, dehydration, diarrhea, distension, enteritis, mucositis, nausea, necrosis, vomiting, hemorrhage, petechiae, pancreatitis, febrile neutropenia, colitis, infection, head or neck edema, limb edema, edema of the edema, alkalosis, acidosis, hypocalcemia, creatine phosphokinase, bone fracture, myositis, cerebrovascular ischemia, confusion or other clinical conditions described herein is as described elsewhere herein and/or as described in the common terminology criteria for adverse events v3.0, which is published at http://ctep.cancer.gov, with current version published on Dec. 12, 2003. The biological insult can give rise to a range of biological responses or clinical conditions, which include one or more of these defined clinical conditions, some of which may arise soon after exposure to the biological insult, e.g., within about 10 minutes to about 24 hours.
Use of the status profile for diagnosis, treatment selection and other analyses. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods to determine a status profile for a subject species comprising, (1) exposing a sufficient number of subjects to a biological insult of at least about an LD10/60 to obtain exposed treated subjects; (2) measuring on two or more occasions in or from the exposed subjects one, two or more biological parameters selected from body temperature, circadian rhythm, red blood cell counts, hematocrit, reticulocytes, platelets, megakaryocytes and neutrophils; (3) measuring or modeling the survival rate or experience of the exposed subjects; (4) obtaining one or more status profiles that corresponds to a defined probability of surviving the biological insult (Psurvival) of at least 0.95 or of not surviving the biological insult (Plethality) of at most 0.05; and (5) optionally using the status profile to identify and initiate a profile-based therapy for one or more of the exposed subjects.
In these embodiments, the biological insult can be a radiation or other exposure of about an LD30/60 to about an LD70/60 or wherein the biological insult is about an LD50/60. Biological parameters or responses that can be measured include one or more of circadian rhythm, hematocrit, platelets, temperature, e.g., core body temperature, which is optionally measured (i) using an implanted monitor, and/or (ii) continuously and/or (iii) at intervals of about 1 minute, about 5 minutes or about 10 minutes to about 30 minutes, about 1 hour or about 2 hours, or another biological parameter disclosed herein.
Other aspects of the invention and related subject matter center on methods to obtain a status profile having a defined Psurvival or Plethality for an exposed subject(s) and/or to a previously established status profile, e.g., to diagnose or characterize the clinical status of the exposed subject(s) and/or to identify appropriate treatments for the exposed subject(s). In these embodiments, the status profile is usually obtained from (i) the exposed subject himself or herself, and optionally compared to a suitable comparable status profile(s) from one or more subjects of the same or a closely related species where the biological insult and biological parameters are the same or essentially the same or are otherwise comparable. Related aspects of the invention include comparison of one or more status profiles having a defined Psurvival or Plethality from exposed subjects, with a similarly based status profile from a closely related species and/or a species that is not closely related. Such comparisons provide a means, e.g., to compare physiology between different species and/or to diagnose the clinical condition of exposed subject(s).
Additional embodiments include the use of a status profile(s) having a defined Psurvival or Plethality from an exposed subject(s) in a submission or report. Such submissions or reports include the use of the status profile in a grant application, an oral or written scientific presentation or publication or in an oral or written regulatory report or submission, e.g., to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or a foreign counterpart medical or food regulatory agency, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. National Institutes of Health or a foreign counterpart medical, health, environmental or defense agency or to another U.S. domestic or foreign regulatory agency, any Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, or any U.S. or foreign local, state or federal government, where such report or submission is optionally required under any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation or any other requirement, e.g., as provided under any statute, rule or amendment in title 21 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations title 35 of the United States Code, e.g., at one or more rules or statutes at one or more of 21 C.F.R. Part 58, 35 U.S.C. §101, 35 U.S.C. §271(e), 35 U.S.C. §112, e.g., at paragraph 1, 2 or 6 of §112, at one or more portions of the U.S. Food Drug and Cosmetic Act such as at §505(j)(2)(A), 21 U.S.C. §§301 et. seq., 21
U.S.C. §355(j)(2) or Section 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 90 Stat. 552, 21 U.S.C. §360e, 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2)(A)(vii)(I)—(IV), 21 U.S.C. §355(j)(2)(B), 21 U.S.C. §351, 21 U.S.C. §352, 21 U.S.C. §353, 21 C.F.R. §314, 21 C.F.R. §§314, 314.600, 314.610, 314.620, 314.630, 21 C.F.R. §600, 21 C.F.R. §§601, 601.90, 601.91, 601.92, 601.93.
In some of these embodiments, the invention provides methods comprising, (1) providing or obtaining a subject who has been exposed to a biological insult; (2) measuring one, two or more of the subject's biological responses to the biological insult to obtain the subject's status profile with a defined Psurvival or Plethality; (3) optionally initiating the one or more palliative therapies at a time before, during or after the determination of the status profile; (4) using the subject's status profile to identify one or more profile-based therapies; (5) optionally administering one or more profile-based therapies to the subject; and (6) optionally maintaining at least one of the one or more palliative and/or profile-based therapies until the subject has sufficiently recovered from the biological insult to have an improved probability of surviving the biological insult or has an improved clinical condition or prognosis or until the subject has mostly or fully recovered from the biological insult. In these embodiments, the palliative therapies are typically dissimilar from the profile-based therapies. For these methods, the biological insult is as described herein, e.g., exposure to radiation, a chemotherapy or another biological insult described herein where the exposure of the exposed subjects or species has a significant probability of causing a potentially life-threatening side effect or biological response that would be expected to be at least about an LDoi, at least about an LD0.5, at least about an LD5 or another degree of LD described elsewhere herein.
Biological responses or biological parameters that can be measured before and/or after the biological insult include temperature. Core body temperature using or peripheral temperature can be measured using, e.g., one or more methods described herein such as rectal temperature measurements, oral temperature measurements, an implanted temperature monitoring device or a thermistor, e.g., in a catheter or attached to the skin.
Typical palliative therapies include the administration or use of one, two or more of fluids, e.g., for dehydration, electrolytes, analgesics, anti-nausea or anti-emesis agents such as decahedron, anti-hypotension agents, agents for respiratory distress, treatment for hypothermia, e.g., for special populations, sleep enhancing agents, fever control, nutritional control or supplementation. In general, profile-based therapies will comprise one or more treatments that (i) modulate or reduce one or more of the adverse biological responses to the biological insult and/or that (ii) enhance the recovery of damaged cell or tissues, particularly for normal or non-pathological cells or tissues and/or (iii) reduce the degree or severity of damage, particularly for normal or non-pathological cells or tissues. As is apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, in some cases palliative and profile-based therapies will at least partially overlap. Exemplary profile-based therapies include (a) effective administration of anti-inflammatory agents that are not immunosuppressive, e.g., some of the F1Cs and (b) effective administration of one or more antibiotics or growth or differentiation factors or other agents that enhance endogenous growth or differentiation of damaged or insufficient cells or tissues, e.g., 1, 2, or more of EPO, TPO, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IGF-1, α−1 thymosin, thymopoietin, serum thymic factor, biologically active fragments of any of these growth factors, polymer conjugates of any of these growth factors or their biologically active fragments or some of the steroids of formula 1. For some of these agents, the enhancement may be transient such as where a single administration or a pulse of synthesis occurs and the growth or differentiation factor is present in appreciable amounts for a limited time period, e.g. for a period of about 2-12 hours or for about 1, 2 or 3 days.
In other embodiments, the invention provides methods comprising, (1) providing or obtaining a subject who has been exposed to a biological insult that can potentially cause one or more potentially lethal biological responses; (2) measuring one, two or more of the subject's biological responses to the biological insult to obtain the subject's status profile with a defined Psurvival or Plethality; and (3) using the subject's status profile to identify or select one or more profile-based therapies.
In other embodiments, the invention provides methods comprising, (1) providing or obtaining a subject who has been exposed to a biological insult that will lead to a defined Psurvival or Plethality, optionally is at least about 0.9, at least about 0.95, at least about 0.98 or the Plethality is at least about 0.1, at least about 0.05 or at least about 0.02 (2) measuring one, two or more of the subject's biological responses to the biological insult to obtain the subject's status profile with a defined Psurvival or Plethality; and (3) using the subject's status profile to identify or select one or more profile-based therapies. In these embodiments the subject's status profile may indicate that the subject has a probability of at least about 20%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60% or at least about 70% of not surviving the exposure to the radiation dose without the use or application of one, two or more profile-based therapies.
As is apparent from the foregoing, the invention provides a method to obtain a status profile in an exposed subject comprising measuring temperature continuously or essentially continuously for sufficient time to detect fever or disruption of circadian rhythm or the initiation of fever or the existence fever, where the temperature measurements are at least partially obtained using an implanted or ingested temperature monitoring device. Implanted or ingested telemetric transmitters such as model TA10EA-F20 or model TA10TAD70 (Data Sciences, St. Paul, Minn.) or other devices described herein can be used to continuously or frequently monitor one or more biological parameters such as core temperature, peripheral temperature, heart rate, electroencephalogram or brain electrical activity, SaO2 or blood pressure. Methods and means to monitor temperature, heart rate and other parameters using implanted devices in humans and other subjects have been described and can be employed for appropriate subjects in any invention method or embodiment disclosed herein.

Exemplary biological responses or parameters that are measured include (i) temperature, e.g., for fever that is at least transient, (ii) circadian rhythm disruption, (iii) platelets, e.g., at their nadir after the biological insult, (iv) red cells or hematocrit, e.g., at the nadir after the biological insult, (v) neutrophils, e.g., at their nadir after the biological insult, or (v) combinations of two or three of these such as (i) and (ii), (i) and (iii), (i) and (iv), (i) and (v), (ii) and (iii), (ii) and (iv), (ii) and (v), (iii) and (iv), (iii) and (v), (iv) and (v), (i), (iii) and (iv), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (i), (iii) and (v), (ii), (iii) and (iv), (i), (iv) and (iv), (ii), (iii) and (iv) or (ii), (iii) and (v). In any of these methods, (i) 1, 2 or more of the subject's biological responses to the radiation exposure are measured on 1, 2, 3, 4 or more occasions or they are measured essentially continuously, optionally in real time and (ii) optionally wherein 1, 2 or more of the palliative therapies are the same as 1, 2 or more of the profile-based therapies or response therapies. Typically the palliative therapies are not the same as any of the profile-based therapies or response therapies. Any of the palliative therapies the profile-based therapies or response therapies is optionally administered before, during or after the exposure of the subject to the biological insult. Status profile based therapies or response therapies include effective administration of a hematopoiesis stimulator, an immune system stimulator, an anti-inflammatory agent, an anti-apoptosis agent or management of the subject's temperature and any of these are optionally maintained until the subject has sufficiently recovered from the radiation exposure to have a probability of surviving the radiation exposure of at least about 60% or at least about 70% from the time the one or more response therapies is discontinued.
In some embodiments, the subject is a human having cancer or a human undergoing a bone marrow transplant protocol, optionally where the cancer is lung cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, skin cancer, a cancer of the central or peripheral nervous system, cervical cancer or another cancer or precancer described herein or in the cited references.
Invention embodiments include various uses for the methods disclosed herein and various materials that can be used in the practice of the invention methods. In some embodiments, the invention provides a kit for measuring temperature in a subject that has been exposed to a biological insult comprising (i) one, two or a plurality of temperature measuring devices and (ii) instructions that directs use of the temperature measuring devices so as to (a) detect a fever or elevated temperature of at least about 0.5° C. or at least about 0.1° C. above a baseline or normal human temperature, optionally (b) within a time period of about 15 minutes to about 24 hours after a biological insult as described in any claim or elsewhere herein and/or (c) optionally wherein when the fever or elevated temperature is at least about 0.8° C. or at least about 1.0° C. above baseline or normal human temperature or where the fever elevated temperature remains elevated above baseline or normal human temperature at least about 0.8° C. or by at least about 1.0° C. for at least about 15 minutes to about 24 hours, the elevated temperature (1) corresponds with a Plethality or probability that the subject will survive biological insult of less than about 0.1 or less than about 0.05, or (2) the biological insult has a probability that is greater than about 50%, about 60% or about 70% of causing a life-threatening adverse or toxic biological response.
In these kits, the temperature measuring devices optionally are single use devices, optionally wherein the devices monitor only peak temperature during the period in which the temperature measuring devices are in use, optionally wherein the peak temperature is indicated by a color change or by a highlighted numeric temperature value. Such kits would be used, e.g., in triage situations where limited medical services are available. Identification of a temperature spike that corresponds to, e.g., a Pleathlity of 0.2, 0.1, 0.05 or less or to a significant chance, e.g., greater than about 50%, that the exposed subject would not survive a biological insult, would be useful in these situations to identify exposed subjects, potentially exposed subjects and/or exposed subjects that would probably require significant medical attention or intervention to survive.
On reading the present disclosure including the examples below, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the Plethality, Psurvival or other status profile measures described, herein can be used to identify exposed subjects or other subjects that have a high probability of not surviving, absent aggressive medical intervention or even in spite of aggressive medical intervention. It will also be apparent that the status profile can predict this situation well in advance of the time that the exposed subject may succumb to a biological insult. In some cases, the status profile allows prediction of this possibility shortly before this crisis period, e.g., about 0.5 days, about 1 day, about 2 days or about 3 days before the potentially lethal crisis. Other profiles such as the temperature spike or the circadian rhythm disruption that is detectable shortly after a potentially lethal radiation exposure allows prediction many days in advance of the crisis, e.g., about 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or more day in advance. The status profiles described and means to measure them as described herein are thus very useful parameters to have, both for human clinical uses and for general biological or physiological studies.
Dosages of F1C and dosing protocols or methods. In any of the methods disclosed herein that use a F1C, one can continuously or intermittently administer the F1C(s) to a subject or an exposed subject. Exemplary dosing protocols are found at, e.g., international publication No. WO 2004/019953 A1, WO 02/069977 A1 and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,667,299 B1. In any of the continuous or in any step(s) in an intermittent dosing protocol, or in performing any of the methods described herein, the F1C(s) can be administered by one or more suitable routes, e.g., oral, buccal, sublingual, intramuscular (i.m.), subcutaneous (s.c.), intravenous (i.v.), intradermal, another parenteral route or by an aerosol. The effective daily dose in such methods will typically comprise about 0.05 mg/kg/day to about 200 mg/kg/day, or about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg/day, including about 0.2 mg/kg/day, 0.5 mg/kg/day, about 1 mg/kg/day, about 2 mg/kg/day, about 4 mg/kg/day, about 6 mg/kg/day, about 10 mg/kg/day, about 20 mg/kg/day, about 40 mg/kg/day or about 100 mg/kg/day. Higher dosages, e.g., about 250 mg/kg/day, about 300 mg/kg/day or about 350 mg/kg/day can also be utilized, e.g., in veterinary applications. One can administer the F1C(s) orally using about 4 to about 60 mg/kg/day, usually about 6-30 mg/kg/day. In some embodiments, the intermittent dosing methods exclude dosing protocols that are commonly used to deliver contraceptive steroids to, e.g., human females, such as daily dosing for 21 days, followed by no dosing for 7 days. For humans, dosing is generally about 0.005 mg/kg/day to about 30 mg/kg/day, typically about 0.5-5 mg/kg/day. Low dosages for humans such as about 0.005 mg/kg/day to about 0.2 mg/kg/day or about 0.25-10 mg/day, can be used with, e.g., local, topical, transmucosal or intravenous administration and higher dosages such as about 0.1 mg/kg/day to about 20 mg/kg/day or about 5-200 mg/day, can be used, e.g., for oral, subcutaneous or other systemic or local administration route. For non-human subjects, e.g., mammals such as rodents or primates, the effective daily dosage may comprise about 0.05 mg/kg/day to about 350 mg/kg/day. F1C formulation dosages or daily doses or unit doses or subdoses for subjects such as humans and mammals include, e.g., about 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 400 or 450 mg of the F1C.
For humans and non-human primates, F1C doses will usually be about 0.5 mg/kg/day or about 1 mg/kg/day to about 5 mg/kg/day or about 40 mg/kg/day. A F1C can be administered at about 5 mg/day to about 2000 mg/day of the F1C, depending on weight. For humans and non-human primates, daily doses will typically be about 20, 30 or 40 mg/day to about 100, 200, 400 or 800 mg/day. For subjects such as humans and non-human primates, sufficient amounts of the formula 1 compound is administered to obtain a blood or serum level of about 0.5, 1, 2 or 5 ng/mL to about 8, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200 or 500 ng/mL of the formula 1 compound, e.g., about 5 ng/mL to about 20 ng/mL or about 10 ng/mL to about 40 ng/mL or about 20 ng/mL to about 60 ng/mL or about 40 ng/mL to about 80 ng/mL or about 40 ng/mL to about 100 ng/mL. These levels can be reached at least transiently, e.g., for about 5 minutes per day to about 30 minutes per day or for longer periods, e.g., for about 1 or 2 hours per day to about 3, 4, 6, 12 or more hours per day, e.g., on days when the formula 1 compound is administered to the subject or on one, two, three or more days after the formula 1 compound is administered to the subject. Small doses, e.g., 0.1 or 1 mg/day to about 2, 3 or 5 mg/day, will typically be used for small subjects, e.g., mice or rats. Larger doses such as about 500 mg/day or 1200 mg/day will typically be administered to larger subjects, e.g., humans or non-human primates, and/or administered orally.

Measurement of biological parameters in non-human primates after biological insult. A study was conducted to characterize a biological insult of 600cGy of whole body irradiation to male Rhesus (Macaca mulatta) primates weighing 2.5 to 4.5 kg at an age range of about 1.75 to 3.5 years. Core body temperature was monitored by telemetry in the monkeys for a period of 40 consecutive days. Two groups of 10 animals each were used in the study. Core body temperature transmitters were surgically implanted in the abdomen prior to initiation of the radiation protocol. Core body temperature was continuously recorded from day-7 to day 41 for correlation with survival, hematology results, and other clinical parameters.
Temperature transmitters. Before initiation of the temperature transmitter implantation protocol, all animals were subject to a detailed physical examination and body weight measurement under the direction of a clinical veterinarian. Blood was collected from all animals, which were not food and water deprived, and assessed for basic blood chemistry and hematology. The results of the evaluation were reviewed by the clinical veterinarian.
Implantation of the temperature transmitters was accomplished using animals that were fasted overnight prior to surgery and then anesthetized by an intra-muscular (IM) injection of acepromazine (10 mg/mL, 0.14 mg/kg) and ketamine (100 mg/mL, 13.6 mg/kg) and intubated. Where needed, lidocaine spray (10% w/w) was administered onto the glottis prior to intubation. An ophthalmic ointment was applied to both eyes to prevent drying of the cornea. Animals were placed on a heating pad and administered isoflurane by inhalation, with an oxygen flow of approximately 200 mg/kg/min. A ventilator was used to maintain the respiratory rate between 8 and 20 breaths/min with a ventilation pressure of 18-25 cm H2O. Monitoring during anesthesia included heart rate and oxygen saturation of the blood using a pulse oximeter. Prophylactic antibiotics (cefazolin 25 mg/kg) were administered by intramuscular injection at least 1-hour prior to surgery, and every 6 to 8 hours post injection for at least 24-hours post surgery. Analgesia (buprenorphine 0.05 mg/kg) was administered by intramuscular injection every 6 to 12 hours for at least 24-hours post surgery. Intravenous fluid therapy was given throughout the anesthesia using sterile Lactate Ringer's solution at a rate of 10 mL/kg/hr.
The surgical site was shaved and aseptically prepared using chlorhexidine gluconate 4% and isopropyl alcohol 70%. A longitudinal incision was performed lateral but close to the linea alba. The internal abdominal oblique muscle was separated from the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis by blunt dissection. A sterile core body temperature transmitter (Data Science International, TA10TAD70) was inserted between the internal abdominal oblique muscle and the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis. Hemostasis was maintained using appropriate suture material. Sterile saline was used to allow ease of placement of the transmitters. The incision was closed with absorbable suture material using simple continuous sutures. The skin was closed with discontinuous buried sutures using absorbable suture material. Additional post-operative care (analgesia and antibiotics) was provided to the animals when needed. Rectal body temperature was monitored in the post-operative period. Once the body temperature was within an acceptable range and the animal was alert, each animal was returned to its cage. A postoperative period of at least 2 weeks was allowed prior to initiation of radiation.
Acclimation and whole-body irradiation. Before transportation to the radiation facility, the animals were acclimated to the radiotherapy chair and to transportation. During the acclimation period, animals were assigned to their respective dose groups by block randomization based on the absolute neutrophil count. Any animal with unacceptable pretreatment data was replaced by an animal kept under identical environmental conditions. Animals with pretreatment data considered acceptable but marginally different from normal values were assigned to the sham group to allow longer post-operative recovery.
Animals were fasted overnight prior to whole-body irradiation and fed upon return to the holding facility. Animals were transferred to the irradiation facility in a transport vehicle with controlled environment. During transportation, each animal was individually housed in a stainless steel squeeze back cage. The animal's clinical signs were monitored immediately before and after transportation. Group 1 animals, sham irradiated, were subject to the same irradiation procedure as Group 2 animals, however, these animals did receive radiation. The 10 control animals, Group 1, were sham irradiated by placing each animal in the restraint for 10 minutes. The 10 treated animals, Group 2, received a midline 60Co γ-radiation dose of 6 Gy at a dose rate of about 60 cGy/minute (day 1). The animals receiving this 6 Gy radiation insult were restrained during the radiation exposure by placing each animal in a chair allowing appropriate restraining in a symmetric position. An insulated cover was placed on the radiotherapy chair during transportation between the transport vehicle and the treatment site. Music was provided inside the treatment room to reduce stress to the animals. Animal positioning was confirmed with linear markers installed in the treatment room. To produce a homogenous dose distribution, treatment was divided in two parts. First, the animal received half of the dose by anteroposterior (AP) irradiation. The second half of the dose was delivered by posteroanterior (PA) irradiation. Group 1 animals were placed in an identical restraining chair in the sham treatment site for approximately the same period of time without exposure to radiation. Once the treatment was completed, animals were returned to the transport vehicle and were transported to their housing facility. The radiation dose was calibrated using an acrylic phantom placed in the same experimental set up that was used for animal irradiation.
Animal maintenance. Animals were housed individually in stainless steel squeeze back cages equipped with an automatic watering system except during transportation where water bottles were provided. The cages were labeled with a color-coded cage card indicating study number, group, animal number, species, sex and dose level. The animal room environment was controlled (temperature 21±3° C., humidity 30-70%, 10-15 air changes per hour, 12 hours light, 12 hours dark). Temperature and humidity were monitored continuously except during animal transportation and inside the radiation facility where only temperature was recorded. A standard certified commercial primate chow (Teklad Certified Global 25% Primate Diet #2055C) was made available to each monkey daily. Food was withdrawn overnight prior to radiation and necropsy. Maximum allowable concentrations of contaminants in the diet (e.g., heavy metals, aflatoxin, organophosphates, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs) were controlled and routinely analyzed by the manufacturers. If an animal stopped eating during the study, the diet was supplemented at the discretion of the study director. Tap water was purified by reverse osmosis and provided to the animals ad libitum throughout the study. Periodic analyses of the tap water and reverse osmosis water were performed. It was considered that there were no known contaminants in the diet or water. During the pre-treatment period cage side observations of clinical signs were generally performed once daily.
Observations. Mortality checks were performed twice a day during all phases of the study. Moribund animals were euthanized for humane reasons based on the clinical judgments. Sacrificed animals were subject to a clinical examination. When the core body temperature was 33° C. (91.4° F.) or lower or when an animal experienced a weight loss of more than 20% over a 4-day period, the animal was euthanized. Animals were also euthanized when they displayed complete anorexia for 3 days with deteriorating conditions based on the clinical examination or when they displayed an absence of response to stimuli.
Results obtained from the study were used to correlate the changes in biological parameters such as core body temperature and hematology with clinical signs following whole body irradiation. These results were used to obtain a status profile or surrogate endpoint such as incidence or duration of fever, followed by salvage with clinical support (antibiotics and blood transfusion), to assess the probability of survival or death of the treated individuals or similarly situated individuals that may have been subject to similar biological insults. During the pre-treatment period cage side observations of clinical signs were performed once daily. During the treatment period, clinical signs were recorded at cage-side twice daily for all animals or as often as deemed necessary. A detailed clinical examination was performed on all animals, once prior to irradiation on day 1, weekly thereafter, including on day 41 prior to necropsy.
The core body temperature and activity was recorded at 1-minute intervals for all animals from day-7 to day 41 using the implanted transmitter. Each animal cage was equipped with a telemetry receiver. The values of calibration of the transmitter implanted in each animal were entered in a telemetry computer system to ensure accurate temperature monitoring. Core body temperature was not recorded when animals were handled or during transport, but core temperature was generally monitored continuously at other times. Body weights were recorded for all animals once prior to randomization, prior to treatment on day 1 and weekly thereafter, including on day 40 (non-fasted) and on day 41 before necropsy. Hematology measurements were performed on all animals three times during the pre-treatment period and during the treatment period on days 2, daily from day 5 to day 27 and once on days 30, 33, 36 and 40. Blood samples of 0.5 mL were collected from the femoral vein or artery or from any appropriate vessel by venipuncture for hematological analysis. Food and water was available to the animals before blood collections.
Hematology parameters that were examined at most time points included red blood cell count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, absolute differential WBC count, relative differential WBC count, relative reticulocyte count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, platelet count, platelet volume, immature granulocyte count and red cell distribution width. EDTA was used as an anticoagulant and blood smears were prepared for each time point, stained with Modified Wright's stain and evaluated.
On day 41, the irradiated group 2 animals were sedated using ketamine and acepromazine and then euthanized by an overdose of barbiturate (e.g. sodium pentobarbital), which was administered intravenously, followed by exsanguination. For euthanized animals, gross pathology consisted of an external examination, identification of clinically recorded lesions and a detailed internal examination. To avoid autolytic changes, the necropsy examination was conducted as soon as possible on all animals that died while on study or that were euthanized during the study or at termination of the study at day 41. The animals were stored at 2-8° C. before examination. For all animals that were euthanized, the following organs were dissected, trimmed free of fat and weighed: Brain, testes, heart, prostate, kidneys, seminal vesicles, large intestine, small intestine, liver, spleen, lungs with trachea and thymus. The large intestine and small intestine were examined by making a longitudinal incision to open the lumen and removal of contents. The intestinal mucosa was washed with saline and excess saline was removed and the organs weighed. Paired organs were weighed together. Absolute and relative (to body weight) organ weights were calculated. On completion of the gross pathology examination, abnormal tissues brain (right part), femur and marrow, heart (both ventricles and atria, septum with papillary muscle), sternum and marrow, thymus were retained. Neutral buffered 10% formalin was usually used for fixation and preservation. Three femoral bone marrow smears were prepared from each euthanized animal (right femur), stained with Modified Wright's stain and evaluated.
Tissue samples from liver, lungs (right and left separately), kidneys, brain (left) and spleen were collected at necropsy from all euthanized animals for bacteriological culture. Tissue samples were stored refrigerated 2-8° C. pending analysis. A selected area at the surface of the tissue sample was burned to eliminate possible surface contaminant. A sterile culture swab was inserted in the tissue sample through the burned surface for isolation and identification of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Histopathological examination was performed on the tissues from euthanized animals. Tissues were prepared for histological examination by embedding in paraffin wax, sectioning and staining with hematoxylin and eosinphloxin.
Results and calculation of status profiles for non-human primates using biological parameter measurements. Numerical data obtained from the protocol described in example 1 was subjected to calculation of group means, standard deviations and other statistical analyses.
Statistically significant status profiles were obtained based on five biological parameters, i.e., anemia (based on hematocrit), thrombocytopenia (platelets), neutropenia (neutrophils), elevated temperature and circadian rhythm disruption. Each parameter alone gave statistically significant Plethality and Psurvival status profiles. When hematocrit nadirs for individual animals fell below 20% of normal, 4 of 4 animals died, while 5 of 6 animals survived when individual hematocrits remained above 20%. Calculation by an unpaired t-test analysis gave Plethality and Psurvival status profiles of 0.02 for a mean hematocrit nadir of 16.4% and 25.6% respectively.
When platelets for individual animals fell to less than 7,000 per μL, 5 of 6 animals died, while 4 of 4 animals survived when the platelet count nadir remained above about 7,000 per μL. Calculation by an unpaired t-test analysis of Plethality and Psurvival status profiles of 0.01 for a mean platelet nadir of 4,800 platelets per μL blood and 12,800 platelets per μL blood, respectively.
When the neutrophil nadir for individual animals fell to less than 50 per μL, 5 of 6 animals died, while 4 of 4 animals survived when the neutrophil count nadir remained above 50 per μL. Calculation by an unpaired t-test analysis of Plethality and Psurvival were 0.02 for a mean neutrophil nadir of 28 neutrophils per μL blood and 58 neutrophils per blood respectively.
For fever, Plethality was less than 0.05 when the animals experienced fever or Psurvival was greater than 0.95 when the animals did not have an elevated temperature or a fever. For this biological response, fever or elevated temperature was defined as a temperature of at least about 39.0° C. for at least about 15 minutes within 12 hours after the animals were irradiated on day 1. The baseline temperature for the animals was considered to be 37.3° C., although temperatures for the 10 control (non-irradiated) animals in example 1 varied with the animal's circadian rhythm between about 36.8° C. and 37.9° C. The control animal's circadian core body temperature rhythm was quite regular, while irradiated animals that survived the radiation was relatively regular and was indistinguishable from non-irradiated controls by about 5-8 days after irradiation. However, circadian core body temperature rhythm from irradiated animals that did not survive the radiation was destroyed and did not recover at any time after its disruption. Plethality was less than 0.05 when circadian rhythm was disrupted, and Psurvival was greater than about 0.95 when circadian rhythm was not disrupted. The loss of circadian rhythm was detectable within 24 to 48 hours after the animals were exposed to the 6 Gy dose of γ-radiation.
The Plethality and Psurvival status profiles for platelets, hematocrit and neutrophils given above was obtained using an unpaired T-test analysis based on the animals described in example 1. Five of the irradiated animals in example 1 survived the 6 Gy radiation exposure and the hematocrit, platelet and neutrophil nadir from irradiated surviving animals (variable 1) was compared to the hematocrit, platelet and neutrophil nadir from the 5 irradiated non-survivors (variable 2).
For the 5 surviving animals, the hematocrit nadirs were 28, 31, 24, 25 and 20, while hematocrit nadirs for the non-surviving animals were 14, 16, 12, 14 and 26. For the 5 surviving animals, the platelet nadirs were 10×103 per μL, 18×103 per μL, 12×103 per μL, 17×103 per μL and 7×103 per μL, while platelet nadirs for the non-surviving animals were 5×103 per μL, 4×103 per μL, 4×103 per μL, 4×103 per μL and 7×103 per μL. For the 5 surviving animals, the neutrophil nadirs were 80 per mm3, 70 per mm3, 50 per mm3, 60 per mm3 and 30 per mm3, while neutrophil nadirs for the non-surviving animals were 20 per mm3, 30 per mm3, 20 per mm3, 40 per mm3 and 30 per mm3. The raw data for hematocrit, platelets and neutrophils from day -6 through day 26 are shown below and this data were used for the unpaired t-test Plethality and Psurvival calculations above.
Treatment of whole body lethal radiation and characterization of mortality surrogate markers. Two groups of 10 Macaca mulatta (rhesus monkey) were exposed to a 6 Gy dose of γ-radiation from a 60Co source. This dose is an LD50/30 dose for this species. After irradiation, one group of animals was treated with test article, 15 mg/kg of 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene (“AED”) in vehicle, and the other 10-animal group was treated with the vehicle alone. The animals in each group were treated once per day for 5 consecutive days beginning on the day the animals were exposed to radiation. The animals consisted of 12 males and 8 females with a body weight range of about 2.5-5.5 kg at the onset of treatment. The age range was 1.75-5.0 years at the onset of treatment. Procedures involving the care and use of animals in this protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee before conduct. During the study, the care and use of animals were conducted in accordance with the applicable rules and codes.
The animals were housed individually in stainless steel squeeze back cages equipped with an automatic watering system except during transportation where water bottles were provided. The cages were clearly labeled with a color-coded cage card indicating study number, group, animal number, species, sex and dose level. The animal room environment was controlled (temperature 21±3° C., humidity 30-70%, 10-15 air changes per hour, 12 hours light, 12 hours dark). Temperature and humidity was monitored continuously except during animal transportation and inside the radiation facility where only temperature was recorded. During transportation, only temperature was controlled. Air was not filtered during animal transportation and inside the radiation facility. A standard certified commercial primate chow (Teklad Certified Global 25% Primate Diet #2055C) was made available to each monkey daily. Food was withdrawn overnight prior to radiation and necropsy. Maximum allowable concentrations of contaminants in the diet (e.g., heavy metals, aflatoxin, organophosphates, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs) were controlled and routinely analyzed by the manufacturer. When an animal became inappetent during the study, the diet could be supplemented.
Tap water purified by reverse osmosis was provided to the animals ad libitum throughout the study. There were no known contaminants in the diet or water. Before transportation to the radiation facility, animals were acclimated to the radiotherapy chair and to transportation. Positive reinforcement was used to facilitate acclimation. Certified non-human primate treats were given after acclimation periods. Twelve male and eight female rhesus monkeys were assigned to the study. Each group comprised of seven male and three female animals. During the acclimation period, animals were assigned to their respective dose groups by randomization based on the absolute neutrophil count. The average of 3 pretreatment absolute neutrophil counts was used for each animal.
The test article (100 mg/mL AED) and vehicle or control article in aliquots of 10 mL. Test article was an aqueous suspension in vehicle. The vehicle article consists of a solution of sodium chloride (0.9% w/v), carboxymethylcellulose (0.5% w/v), polysorbate 80 (2% v/v), benzalkonium chloride (0.02% v/v) and sodium phosphate (10 mM, pH 6.5). Immediately prior to drawing into a syringe, the test article formulation was briefly vortexed to uniformly distribute sedimented test article. Once drawn into a syringe, the test article was administered within 10 minutes. Just prior to injection, the syringe containing the test article was rotated end-over-end to uniformly disperse the compound.
During the pre-treatment period, body temperature transmitters were surgically implanted to allow core body temperature and physical activity monitoring. The animals were fasted overnight before the implant surgery. The animals were anesthetized by an intra-muscular injection of acepromazine (10 mg/mL, 0.14 mg/kg) and ketamine (100 mg/mL, 13.6 mg/kg) and intubated. Where needed, lidocaine spray (10% w/w) was administered onto the glottis prior to intubation. An ophthalmic ointment was applied to both eyes to prevent drying of the cornea. Animals were then placed on a heating pad and administered isoflurane by inhalation, with an oxygen flow of approximately 200 mL/kg/min or as needed. A ventilator was used to maintain the respiratory rate between 8 and 20 breaths/min with a ventilation pressure of 18-25 cm H2O. Monitoring during anesthesia included heart rate and oxygen saturation of the blood using a pulse oximeter.
Prophylactic antibiotics (cefazolin 25 mg/kg) were administered by intramuscular injection at least 1-hour prior to surgery, and every 4 to 8 hours post injection for at least 24-hours post surgery. Analgesia (buprenorphine 0.05 mg/kg) was administered by intramuscular injection every 6 to 12 hours for at least 24-hours post surgery. Intravenous fluid therapy was given throughout the anesthesia using sterile Lactate Ringer's solution at a rate of 10 ml/kg/hr. The surgical site was shaved and was aseptically prepared using chlorhexidine gluconate 4% and isopropyl alcohol 70%. A longitudinal incision was performed lateral but close to the linea alba. The internal abdominal oblique muscle was separated from the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis by blunt dissection. A sterile core body temperature transmitter (Data Science International, TA10TAD70) was inserted between the internal abdominal oblique muscle and the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis. The serial number of the transmitter was recorded. Hemostasis was maintained using appropriate suture material. Sterile saline was used to allow ease of placement of the transmitters. The incision was closed with absorbable suture material using simple continuous sutures. The skin was closed with discontinuous buried sutures using absorbable suture material. Additional post-operative care (analgesia and antibiotics) were given to all animals where required. Rectal body temperature was monitored in the post-operative period. Once the body temperature was within an acceptable range and the animal was alert, each animal was returned to its cage. A post-operative period of at least 2 weeks was allowed prior to initiation of treatment. Core body temperature was monitored at 1-minute intervals beginning 6 days before radiation exposure and continued until 40 days after exposure.
Whole body radiation. The animals were exposed to ionizing as follows. Dosimetry measurements using phantoms, the dose rate and duration of irradiation and the actual time of irradiation for each individual animal was recorded. Animals were fasted overnight prior to whole-body irradiation and fed upon return to the housing facility. Animals were transferred to the treatment facility in a transport vehicle with controlled environment. During transportation, each animal was individually housed in a stainless steel squeeze back cage. Temperature in the transport vehicle was automatically recorded every 5 minutes during transportation. Clinical signs were monitored immediately before and after transportation.
Upon arrival to the site of irradiation, each animal was placed in a chair allowing appropriate restraining in a symmetric position. An insulated cover was placed on the radiotherapy chair during transportation between the truck and the treatment room. Each animal was brought in the treatment room. Music was provided inside the treatment room to reduce stress to the animals. Animal positioning was confirmed with linear markers installed in the treatment room.
The animals received a midline treatment dose of 600 cGy. The dose rate of the 60Co gamma source was about 60 cGy per minute and the actual rate was recorded for each animal. To obtain a homogenous dose distribution, the radiation treatment was divided in two parts. First, the animal received half of the dose by anteroposterior irradiation. The second half of the dose was delivered by posteroanterior irradiation. Once the treatment was completed, animals were returned to the transport vehicle and transported to the housing facility. The radiation dose was calibrated using an acrylic phantom placed in the same experimental set up that was used for animal irradiation.
Administration of 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene and vehicle control. The animals received the vehicle control once daily for five (5) consecutive days by intramuscular injections. The first injection on day 1 was administered at 2-3 hours after irradiation. The dose volume was 0.15 mL/kg for all animals. The dose volume was evenly divided between two distinct sites (approximately 0.075 mL/kg per site). The actual volume delivered was calculated and adjusted based on each animal's body weight. To verify the concentration and homogeneity of the test and control articles in the dosing formulation, duplicate samples (1 mL/sample) from the bottom of each dosing formulation was taken prior to dosing on days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and stored frozen (−70±10° C.) pending analysis.
During the pre-treatment period cage side observations of clinical signs were performed once daily. A detailed clinical examination was performed on all animals once prior to irradiation on day 1, day 9, weekly thereafter and at day 40 and 41. After radiation, the animals and clinical signs were observed twice a day during the protocol or as often as deemed necessary. Moribund animals were euthanized for humane reasons. Euthanasia criteria consisted of (i) a core body temperature of 35.9° C. after a period of febrile neutropenia, (ii) more than a 20% weight loss over a 3 day period, (iii) complete anorexia for 3 days with deteriorating conditions based on clinical examination or (iv) absence of response to stimuli.
Core body temperature and activity was recorded every minute for all animals from Day-10 to sacrifice using the implanted transmitter. Core body temperature and activity was recorded when animals were housed in their designated cage. Each designated cage was equipped with a telemetry receiver. Core body temperature was not recorded when animals were handled or during transport to the radiation facility. Body weights were recorded for all animals on the day following transfer, once before randomization, prior to treatment on day 1, day 9, weekly thereafter, at on the day the protocol ended. Laboratory hematology investigations were performed on all animals three times during the pre-treatment period and during the treatment period on day 2, daily from day 5 to day 27 and once on days 30, 33, 36 and 40.
For hematology analyses, blood samples of 0.5 mL were collected from the femoral vein or artery or from any appropriate vessel by venipuncture. EDTA was used as an anticoagulant. Animals were not deprived of food or water prior to blood collections. Parameters such as red blood cell count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, white blood cell count, WBC differential (absolute), platelet count, WBC differential (relative), red cell distribution width, reticulocyte count and immature granulocyte count were measured. Blood smears were prepared for each time point, stained with Modified Wright's stain and evaluated.
For pharmacokinetic evaluation, blood samples (approximately 1.0 mL) were collected from all animals at about 22.0 to 23.5 hours following the first compound and control vehicle article administration on day 2. Each blood sample was collected into an EDTA potassium tube and kept on wet ice, for a maximum of 30 minutes, until centrifugation. The samples were centrifuged under refrigeration (2 to 8° C.) for approximately 10 minutes at 1500 g (RCF). The harvested plasma was transferred in one aliquot per sample. Blood samples (approximately 2.0 mL) were collected from all animals prior to sacrifice on days 40 and 41. Each blood sample was collected into an EDTA potassium tube and kept on wet ice, for a maximum of 30 minutes, until centrifugation. The samples were centrifuged under refrigeration (2 to 8° C.) for approximately 10 minutes at 1500 g (RCF). The harvested plasma was transferred in two separate aliquots per sample.
Liver, lung (right and left separately), kidney, brain (left) and spleen tissues were collected at necropsy from all euthanized animals for bacteriological culture. The tissue samples were stored refrigerated (2-10° C.) pending analysis. A selected area at the surface of the tissue sample was burned to eliminate possible surface contaminants. A sterile culture swab was inserted in the tissue sample through the burned surface for isolation and identification of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria
Numerical data obtained during the conduct of the study was subjected to calculation of group means and standard deviations. Data was analyzed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the significance of inter-group differences were analyzed by Dunnett's “t” test or other appropriate tests using the SPSS for Windows, version 12.0, SPSS, Inc.
In the vehicle-treated control animal group, 4 of 10 animals survived, with 3 of the four non-survivors having febrile severe neutropenia, which was defined as a core body temperature of >40.4° C., i.e., 40.5° C., and an absolute neutrophil count of less than 500 cells/μL. In the 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene treated animal group, 9 of 10 animals survived, with the non-survivor not having febrile severe neutropenia and 2 survivors having the condition at some time during the protocol. Mortality in the untreated control group thus was 40% and 10% in the treated group. When the two control groups from this protocol and from the protocol described in examples 1 and 2 were combined, the total combined mortality of the 20 irradiated untreated animals was 45%. A reduction of mortality was observed (Fisher's exact test mid p=0.073) in the treated group compared to these two control groups. In the control group from this example only (vehicle treated) the animals experienced a median of 5 days of febrile severe neutropenia (95% CI 0,8) while the animals treated with 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene experienced a median of 0 days of febrile severe neutropenia (95% CI 0,2), giving a p=0.037 by the exact log rank test.
In the vehicle treated control animals from this example the animals collectively experienced 51 days of severe thrombocytopenia, less than 20,000 platelets/μL, while the animals treated with 3β,17β-dihydroxyandrost-5-ene collectively experienced 32 days of severe thrombocytopenia. This difference was p=0.009 by the exact test of homogeneity.
Non-human primate (NHP) lethal radiation studies. A meta analysis of 5 studies was conducted with a total of 100 animals. Four studies were conducted using 600 cGy (80 animals) and one study (20 animals) used 634 cGy of radiation. Before whole body radiation, Rhesus monkeys were acclimated to a lexan restraining device for all protocols and irradiated without the use of anesthesia or sedation. Animals were irradiated with either 60Co photon or 6 MV X-ray radiation through anterior/posterior and posterior/anterior parallel-opposed ports (APPA) at a dose rate of approximately 60 cGy per minute to a total mid-plane dose of 6.00-6.34 Gy. Animals were given one half the dose AP and then rotated 180° at the mid-dose (3.00 Gy) to receive the remainder of the radiation. Simultaneous parallel-opposed 60Co ports were used to deliver a mid-plane dose of 6.00 Gy at approximately 60 cGy per minute for animals in study 109.
For each study, experimental animals were randomly assigned to parallel groups, stratified by gender and body weight. All studies were vehicle controlled. A veterinarian managed animal care and data accrual. Baseline characteristics of the animals are shown below.
Between two to three weeks prior to irradiation, each animal underwent surgical implantation of a telemeter (model TA10TAD70, Data Sciences International) placed between the internal abdominal oblique muscle and the aponeurosis of the transverse abdominus muscle. This telemeter permitted remote, non-invasive monitoring of core body temperature by transmitting the data to a receiver once per minute. Core body temperature data were used to rapidly identify animals experiencing shock-related irreversible hypothermia, consequently permitting humane sacrifice. No clinical support consisting of transfusions or antibiotics was given to the animals other than buprenorphine analgesia if needed for pain control.
Each animal was observed twice daily (a.m. and p.m.) for mortality and evidence of pain/distress and findings were recorded as they were observed. Once daily, cage side assessments of food consumption and observations of each animal were performed. Strict euthanasia criteria to ensure humane sacrifice was developed and observed in all studies. The endpoints or criteria to humanely sacrifice animals included: (1) a 20% weight loss over a three-day period; (2) minimal to absent response to stimuli; (3) complete anorexia for 3 days with deteriorating conditions based on the clinical examination; (4) a drop in core body temperature to 36° C. (96.8° F.) or lower following a febrile episode with a temperature of 40° C.; and (5) severe acute anemia of 4 gm Hbg and/or <13% hematocrit.
The animals were treated with a parenteral formulation containing androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol, which was administered intramuscularly, based on body weight (mg/kg), 3-4 hours after irradiation and continued once daily for a total of five injections. Individual animal doses were based on the most recently recorded body weight prior to total body radiation (TBI). Doses used in the studies were 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg/day. The animals were subjected to blood collection (0.5 mL) as follows: 3 times during the pretreatment period and on study days 2, 5 through 27, 30, 33, 36 and 40. Blood counts were measured using an automated hematology analyzer (Advia 120) and the absolute differential leukocyte counts, hemoglobin and hematocrit were estimated.
Laboratory data were imported into an electronic database (SAS Institute Inc. 2004, SAS OnlineDoc v9.1. Cary, N.C.: SAS Institute Inc.) Specific rules for imputation of missing hematological data followed regulatory guidance. The duration of a given cytopenia was expressed relative to the number days at risk. Studies were designed to explore early activity and hence were not powered to formally detect efficacy. Statistical analyses were performed with the use of the SAS System and StatXact software for exact p-values. All reported p values were based on two-sided tests without adjustment for multiple comparisons. The cumulative incidence of cytopenia explores profile differences in the pattern of accumulation. Analysis by nonparametric mean cumulative function models was tested according to both Nelson's approach and semi-parametric regression models for repeated events. Mortality data was analyzed by means of the exact Fisher's test. Prediction was implemented by generalized linear mixed models. 100 non-human primates were lethally irradiated in five studies conducted at two laboratories under GLP guidelines. All animals were clinically healthy at entry. The probability of natural death was expected to be near zero i.e., if it were not for the irradiation event, all animals were expected to survive the 36-40 day duration of the various experiments. Protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria tended to promote a uniform selection of individuals. A total of 32 monkeys (32%) died in the course of the studies. Of these, 24 (75%) were the result of euthanasia in extremis. One study, performed at 634 cGy, was included in the total. The treatment difference in mortality between treatments is 20 percentage points at each radiation level. The point estimate of mortality in controls at 600 cGy is 32.5% (13/40; 95% Cl: 19.34% to 48.32%). The overall odds ratios suggest that benefit may be substantial, although not quite significant for the present sample size. Mortality events took place in a rather narrow time band. All deaths occurred in 13 days, between Study Day 14 and 26. By Study Day 18, 50% of the deaths had already occurred. Only 4/32 individuals (12.5%) died after Study Day 20. These late deaths do not seem to represent any particular study or trend to delay euthanasia. Individuals in study 2973 (634 cGy) experienced 70% overall mortality. Deaths in this study occurred sooner than in the other studies (medians: 17 days in 2973 vs. 19 days in the other studies; p=0.04. Only 1 of the 11 animals that died in the compound treated group (90.9%) was attributable to hemorrhage, whereas 14 of the 21 deaths in the vehicle group were ascribed to hemorrhage. This difference was highly significant (p=0.0028). A summary is shown below.
As shown above, for the 100 animals, there were 32 total deaths, 21 in untreated animals and 11 in the treated animals. The primary cause of death by infection was observed for 7 animals in the placebo groups (33%) and 10 (90.9%) in the treated groups, but when the primary cause of death was hemorrhage 14 (66.7%) placebo animals died from hemorrhage, while only 1 (3.1%) treated animal died from hemorrhage.
Lower platelets counts at baseline correlated with a greater propensity to die of acute radiation syndrome (ARS). The proximal link involved some form of transfer to platelet count on day 2. Predictions range from 12.42%, for an observed platelet count of 643/νL (nanoliter), to 52.51% for a baseline count of 234/νL. No other baseline variable related to post irradiation survival. Treatment with the compound given on day one was predictive of survival. Fever greater than 39° C. at day 3 predicts survival (p=0.006) (R2=0.11; ΔP(IQR)=−0.28). Furthermore, the effect of androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol treatment is already evident by then with a 9 to 17% decrease in the chances of death for the treated individuals (p<0.013). However excess deaths were noted for animals with fever below 39° C.
Accumulation of days of thrombocytopenia [St] up to day 14 (before the first death) accurately predicts mortality when coupled with treatment (87/100; R2=0.62; p<0.001). In addition, androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol treatment and a higher platelet count at Day 14 each predicts increased survival. A greater accumulation of days of thrombocytopenia (<20,000 platelets/4) up to Day 14 was associated with decreased survival. The accumulation of days severe neutropenia (Sn) plays no major predictive role at day 14. Febrile severe neutropenia was infrequent, 6.13% and 5.43% of the days at risk in the control androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol treated groups respectively (p>0.44). Results at day 26 (last death) can be explained in terms of the model proposed for day 14, with Sn extended up to day 26 to account for the fate of 92/100 individuals. The duration of severe neutropenias and severe thrombocytopenias is shown below. For the data shown below, the following meanings apply. IQR=inter-quartile limits; * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001; ANC<0.5 means less than 0.5 neutrophils/nL and Plat<50 means less than 50 platelets/nL.
The results demonstrated that androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol administered intramuscularly 2-4 hours after lethal TBI and daily for total of five days significantly reduced the number of deaths in treated monkeys by 62.5% (LD12 in treated groups vs. LD32 in control groups). This is the first demonstration of a drug treatment resulting a reduction in deaths in lethally irradiated, clinically unsupported non-human primates. Previous studies have used cytokines alone or in combination in lethally irradiated NHP to study the kinetics of bone marrow recovery from the ensuing radiation-induced hematopoietic syndrome. These studies were conducted in NHP given full clinical support with antibiotic regimens and transfusions for thrombocytopenia and anemia following TBI.
Administering androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol enhanced recovery of both platelets and neutrophils in radiation-induced myelosuppression of bone marrow. This suggests that androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol increases the numbers or activity of early progenitor stem cells, if not the stem cell itself. Studies are underway to identify the target cell population and the mechanism of action. Although androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol enhanced the recovery of neutrophils, platelets and red blood cells, its impact was most readily apparent on platelets. The duration of grade 4 thrombocytopenia (<20,000 platelets/μL) appeared to correlate with death to a greater extent than the duration of grade 4 neutropenia. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that both febrile grade 4 neutropenia and grade 4 thrombocytopenia contribute to the mortality of lethally irradiated subjects. In one lethal study with untreated animals, the temporal relationship between the time of death and bleeding episodes suggested that hemorrhage was a precipitating factor that lead to death in the majority of animals. Consequently, thrombocytopenia becomes more clinically relevant than previously appreciated. This finding is somewhat surprising, since the role of neutrophils to prevent infection and presumably sepsis leading to death in myelosuppressed patients has been established in the medical literature. (Bodey et al, Ann. Intern. Med. 64(2):328-340 1966; Crawford et al, New Engl. J. Med. 325(3):164-170 1991) It is reasonable to expect that the most important factor in preventing death in this NHP model would be protection and restoration of neutrophils to fight infection. This is likely true where bone marrow suppression is not complete as is the case in marrow suppression commonly seen in chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in the clinic. In this population adequate stem cells remain in the marrow and can be recruited by various cytokines such as G-CSF, GM-CSF, TPO, Flt-3 ligand to differentiate into mature elements of the marrow, especially neutrophils. Where there is a more profound effect on stem cells, the data suggest that the most important factor correlated with death is the duration of severe thrombocytopenia. Up to day 14, when the first death occurred on study, absolute neutrophil counts and duration of febrile (>40.4° C.) severe neutropenia (ANC<500 cells/μL) were not correlated with death. Although febrile grade 4 neutropenia is a consequence of radiation exposure, it is one of only several factors contributing to mortality. In these studies, grade 4 thrombocytopenia associated with hemorrhage appeared to be the primary cause of death in the majority of untreated primates. An early recovery of thrombopoiesis stimulated by androst-5-ene-3β,17β-diol minimizes a subject's time at risk for hemorrhage. This shorter duration of grade 4 thrombocytopenia translates into improved survival. The pathophysiology associated with this phenomena may be small areas of hemorrhage including petechiae in the aerodigestive tract providing an easy and early entry point of opportunistic bacteria and subsequent prolongation of neutropenia allowing microbial growth unchecked by the immune system and eventually contribute to the observed mortality. Consistent with this, enhanced recovery of both platelets and neutrophils have more a positive effect on mortality than on recovery of neutrophils alone.
