Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION 2013206335 14 Jun2013 dsRNAs AS INFLUENZA VIRUS VACCINE ADJUVANTS OR IMMUNO-
_ STIMULANTS
[0001] Vaccine protection against acute or chronic viral infection is facilitated by using, together with an anti-influenza vaccine, as an adjuvant or immuno-stimulant, a dsRNA.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Adjuvants have been used to facilitate vaccines in affording immunization to protect animals including humans. Identifying an efficient and effective adjuvant is often a difficult task.
[0003] Of particular interest are vaccines for protecting against influenza viruses, and of current interest avian influenza virus H5N1 (bird flu) including Vietnam and Hong Kong strains. Inactivated Vaccines against influenza virus have been administered parenterally to induce serum antibodies and also to the nasal mucosa to provide mucosal immunity to influenza virus.
[0004] Several adjuvants axe known such as alum, squalene emulsion (MF 59, Chiron Vaccines), and Freund’s adjuvant. Recently a synthetic dsRNA polyribomosinic polyribocytldylic acid or poly (I:C) has been proposed as an adjuvant or immuno-stimulant for inactivated influenza virus vaccine; see Ichinohe et al, Journal of Virology, March 2005, p. 2910-2919.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0005] Disclosed are methods of facilitating vaccine protection against an acute or chronic viral infection comprising the coordinated administration to a subject requiring protection an immunity-inducing amount of an anti-influenza 1 vaccine together with, as an adjuvant, a dsRNA. Also disclosed are methods of facilitating vaccine protection against an acute or chronic viral infection comprising administering to a subject requiring protection an immunity-inducing amount of an anti-influenza-vaccine in combination with, as an adjuvant or immuno-stimulant, a dsRNA. 2013206335 14 Jun2013 [0006] The invention includes methods of facilitating vaccine protection against an acute or chronic viral infection comprising administering substantially simultaneously or sequentially to a subject requiring protection an immunity-inducing amount of an anti-influenza vaccine together in admixture with, as an adjuvant or immuno-stimulant, a dsRNA.
[0007] This invention also includes methods of protecting animals, including humans, susceptible to avian influenza infections against viral-induced pathology secondary to both antigenic drift and shift (as evidenced by rearrangement of the viral particle structure) and genomic rearrangement as well.
[0008] The invention further includes methods of enhancing immunization against influenza viruses by coordinated administration of a vaccine to patients together or conjointly a synthetic, specifically configured, double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA). The dsRNA of choice is Ampligen®, available from HEMISPHERX BIOPHARMA, 1617 JFK Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA USA., a synthetic, specifically configured, double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) which retains the immunostimulatory and antiviral properties of other double-stranded RNA molecules (dsRNA) bnt exhibits greatly reduced toxicity. Like other dsRNAs, Ampligen® can stimulate host defense mechanisms including innate immunity. Ampligen® has the ability to stimulate a variety of dsRNA-dependent intracellular antiviral defense mechanisms including the 2\ 5-oligoadenylate synthetase/RNase L and protein kinase enzyme pathways.
[0009] In the context of the present invention, what is meant by "coordinated" use is, independently, either (i) co-administration, i.e. substantially simultaneous or sequential administration of the vaccine and of the dsRNA, or (ii) the administration of a composition comprising the vaccine and the dsRNA in combination and in a mixture, in addition to optional pharmaceutically acceptable-excipients and/or vehicles.· 2013206335 14 Jun2013 [0010] The mismatched dsRNA may be of the general formula rln · r(Ci2U)n. In this and the other formulae that follow r = ribo. Other mismatched dsRNAs for use in the present invention are based on copolynucleotides selected from poly (Cra,U) and poly (CmG) in which, m is an integer having a value of from 4 to 29 and are mismatched analogs of complexes of polyriboinosinic and polyribocytidilic acids, formed by modifying rln · rCn to incorporate unpaired bases (uracil or guanine) along the polyribocytidylate (rCm) strand. Alternatively, the dsRNA may be derived from r(I) · r(C) dsRNA by modifying the ribosyl backbone of polyriboinosinic acid (rln), e-g-, by including 2'-0-methyl ribosyl residues. The mismatched may be complexed with an RNA-stabilizing polymer such as lysine cellulose. Of these mismatched analogs of rln - rCn, the preferred ones are of the general formula rln · r(Cn-i4,U)n. or rl„ r(C29,G)n, and are described by Carter and Ts'o in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,130,641 and 4,024,222, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The dsRNA's described therein generally are suitable for use according to the present invention.
[0011] Other examples of mismatched dsRNA for use in the invention include: r ¢1) e r (C4, U) r (I) · r (C7, U) r (I) · r (03, U) r (I) · r (C22, U) 3 r (I) · r (C20, G) and r (I) τ (Cp.23,G>p). 2013206335 27 Mar 2017 [0012] Alternatively the dsRNA may be the matched form, thus polyadenylic acid complexed with polyuridylic acid (poly A -poly U) may also be used.
[0013] Another aspect of the invention is the treatment of acute and chronic viral infections susceptible to vaccine prophylaxis therapy, available now or in the future including, for example, HIV, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and influenza including avian influenza employing a synergistic combination of an appropriate vaccine and a dsRNA.
The present invention as claimed herein is described in the following items 1-7: 1. A method of protecting an animal or animal cells susceptible to avian flu virus against viral-induced pathology secondary to antigenic drift or shift, as evidenced by mutational changes or molecular rearrangement in the viral particle structure, the method comprising exposing the animal or animal cells to a mismatched dsRNA before, during or after exposure to a non-avian influenza vaccine. 2. A method of protecting an animal or animal cells susceptible to avian flu virus comprising exposing the animal or animal cells to a mismatched dsRNA before, during or after exposure to a non-avian influenza vaccine. 3. A method of item 1, where the non-avian influenza vaccine includes a standard seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine. 4. A method of item 2, where the non-avian influenza vaccine includes a standard seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine. 5. Use of a mismatched dsRNA in the manufacture of a medicament for protecting an animal or animal cells susceptible to avian flu virus against viral-induced pathology secondary to antigenic drift or shift, as evidenced by mutational changes or molecular rearrangement in the viral particle structure, wherein the animal is exposed to the mismatched RNA before, during or after exposure to a non-avian influenza vaccine. 6. Use of a mismatched dsRNA in the manufacture of a medicament for protecting an animal or animal cells susceptible to avian flu virus wherein the animal is exposed to the mismatched RNA before, during or after exposure to a non-avian influenza vaccine. 4 7.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0033] Example 1: Cross Protection Between Avian Influenza Strains [0034] This study was conducted in mice in the manner of Ichinohe et al, Journal of Virology, March, 2005, pages 2910-2919, this time using two different strains of avian flu virus, Vietnam and Hong Kong, and the dsRNA Ampligen, as described above, in combination or alone with the vaccine. The results are given in Figures 1 and 2.
[0035] In the first panel, from the antibodies detected in the nasal wash use of the (A/VN) vaccine by itself when administered intranasally provided a positive result in raising antibody but when administered with Ampligen produced a result that was more than twice than that of the vaccine used alone. No IgA antibodies 5 2013206335 14 Jun2013 were detected using Ampligen alone. The subcutaneous route did not yield any IgA andbodies in- the nasal mucosa.
[0036] ' In contrast to this, a limited number of IgG antibodies were raised in the blood serum following intranasal administration but significantly greater amounts were obtained in the blood serum from the subcutaneous administration. Again, the combinadon of the vaccine plus Ampligen produced a greater result than with the vaccine alone.
[0037] The animals were then subjected to a challenge to avian influenza virus Vietnamese strain and, significantly, there was no vims detected in the nasal wash of the challenged animals receiving a combinadon of vaccine and Ampligen administered by the intranasal route while various amounts of virus were detected using the vaccine alone, Ampligen alone, intranasally, and a combination of vaccine and Ampligen administered subcutaneously.
[0038] It is desirable to raise antibodies to the avian flu virus in the nasal mucosa and other mucosa as this is the typical point of entry/infection and is believed to offer a significant preventative or mitigating benefit.
[0039] Exancvnle 2: Cross Protection Between Seasonal Influenza Vaccine andH5Nl [0040] A second set of studies was completed similar to Example 1, this time initially using inactivated avian influenza virus vaccine Vietnam strain in combination with Ampligen or Ampligen alone or the vaccine alone then later challenging with the different Hong Kong strain of avian influenza vims. The results are shown in Figure 2. The first two panels under anti-A/VN-IgA and anti-A/VN IgG were prior to challenge and the third panel was subsequent to challenge with the Hong Kong strain. Overall, beneficial results were noted in the vims titer nasal wash subsequent to challenge with the best results achieved using the 6 2013206335 14 Jun2013 combination of Vietnam strain vaccine and Ampligen and subsequent challenge with the Hong Kong sixain of the virus.
[0041] These results indicate continued efficacy when the Vietnam strain vaccine-treated patients also receiving Ampligen were later challenged with the . Hong Kong strain of the virus and from this it is expected that similar results will occur when the viral strains are reversed and the Hong Kong virus is used to raise the vaccine followed by subsequent challenge with the Vietnam, strain.
[0042] Example 3: Viral Antigen Soaring and Augmentation [0043] In this example a study was made to determine how the influence of poly(I:C) on the administration of an avian influenza, Vietnam sixain in animals similar to those used in Example 2. The results are presented in Figure 6. Various doses of the avian influenza vaccine (A/VN) were employed and varying amounts of poly(I:C) were used including no A/VN and no poly(I:C) as controls. Of particular interest is a comparison between 1 pg of avian influenza vaccine and no poly(I:C) contrasted with 0.1 pg of avian influenza vaccine and 10 pg of poly(I:C). When administered intranasally in the first panel of bar graphs it will be noted that more antibodies were raised by the combination of 0.1 pg of A/VN and 10 pg of poly(I:C) compared to a tenfold larger amount of avian influenza vaccine used by itself. Of particular significance is the final panel under the heading Survival Rate where the survival rate was numerically the same, on a percentage basis, between the use of one-tenth the amount of avian influenza vaccine in combination with 10 pg poly(I:C) and 10 pg of A/VN alone (without poly(I:C)). Note also the A/VN virus titer in the nasal wash was rather insignificant for the combination of 0.1 pg A/VN and 10 pgpoly(I:C) as compared to a measurable value when the avian flu vaccine was used alone. From these data one may conclude the use of poly(I:C) as an adjuvant enables one to reduce by tenfold (in this example) the amount of avian influenza vaccine necessary to achieve significant rates of survival. 7 2013206335 14 Jun2013 [0044] Presence of the Ampligen appears to possess cross-protection ability against variant avian influenza viruses and thereby mitigate antigenic drift of the avian influenza virus..
[0045] Antigenic drift is a. change in structure of a virus, such as the internal and external proteins, glycoproteins, glycolipids, etc., due to fundamental change in the genomic content of the virus particle. dsRNAs reduce the phenomenon of viral escape and cellular damage attendant thereto. Viral escape is a process by which a virus or intracellular pathogen alters its host range or indirectly alters its susceptibility of antiviral or immunological therapies.
[0046] This invention includes methods of cross-protecting animals, including humans, susceptible to avian influenza infections against viral-induced pathology secondary to both antigenic drift and shift (produced by mutations or rearrangement of the viral genetic material).
[0047] In Figure 3, seven groups of mice, five mice per group, were selected. Four of these groups were exposed to the 2005/2006 bivalent influenza vaccine either intranasally or subcutaneously. Within 21 days intranasal inoculation was repeated and within 14 days intranasal inoculation was completed again making a total of one initial inoculation and two boosters.
[0048] Two weeks after the second booster the mice were then subjected to challenge with the avian influenza VN1194 (H5N1) strain and assessed for the presence and amount of IgA anti-A/VN in a nasal wash and for IgG antibodies in serum. The results indicate that only with the presence Ampligen and administration by the intranasal route were A/VN IgA antibodies raised against the avian influenza Vietnam (VN1194) strain. While IgG antibodies were raised in the serum against the VN1194 strain from the intranasal administration there were serum antibodies raised with or without the presence of Ampligen using the SC route of administration. Virus titers for the avian flu virus were then assessed after
S 2013206335 14 Jun2013 avian influenza VN1194 (H5N1) virus challenge in nasal wash. For the subset receiving both the trivalent seasonal vaccine and. Ampligen adjuvant the virus was effectively neutralized while the other groups showed measurable quantities of the A/VN virus.
[0049] Figure 4 shows that the only group of animals to survive the challenge with VN1194 as assessed over a period of 18 days, was the group which received both the 05/06 trivalent vaccine plus the Ampligen intranasally . While antibodies were present in the blood serum they provided no effective protection against VN1194 challenge but antibodies present in the nasal mucosa were effective to prevent infection and death over the period of time measured. These findings are significant as they demonstrate in this study protection against avian influenza H5N1 strains is conferred by the use of a trivalent seasonal vaccine administered intranasally with Ampligen as a vaccine adjuvant.
[0050] Figure 5 shows the direct cross assessment, again indicating the quantities and amounts of 05/06 trivalent vaccine, Ampligen and route of administration but measuring for the antibodies to be elicited against the seasonal trivalent vaccine as measured either in the nasal mucosa or blood serum. The results show antibodies against the seasonal vaccine were present in the nasal mucosa of only those animals receiving both the trivalent 05/06 seasonal vaccine and Ampligen administered by the intranasal route. Regarding the detecting of antibodies against the 05/06 trivalent vaccine in serum, all of the groups had a certain elevated “baseline” level, but a significant increase was seen both times the vaccine was used with Ampligen.
[0051] Our studies also demonstrate the presence of antibodies in blood serum does not necessarily provide an accurate indicator of protection against avian influenza and the more reliable indicator is the antibodies raised in the nasal mucosa.' 9 2013206335 14 Jun2013 I Additional key cellular mechanisms induced by double-stranded RNAs to provide for more potent immune stimulating effects of influenza and other vaccines.

In this study macaques were vaccinated with A/VN plus Ampligen (A/Vietnam (H5N1) 90 pg/500 ml, Ampligen 500 pg), for three doses, spaced 3 and 2 weeks apart. That is, an initial dose, 3 weeks later a second dose and 2 weeks later a third dose. Then the monkeys were challenged 2 weeks after the third does with high doses of A/VN (A/Vietnam (H5N1) 2.5 x 105 pfu / 2.5 ml (lung) and,A/Vietnam (H5N1) 0.5 x 10s pfu / 0.5 ml (nasal)) intra-tracheally and intxanasally .
