Definitions

  • Combined therapy comprising an inhibitor of interleukin-17 activity and a vitamin D receptor agonist
  • Present invention relates to the field of preventing and treating autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, in particular those being refractory to common treatments.
  • Autoimmune diseases are a group of diseases of high complexity, in several of which autoinflammatory processes may occur, that lead to chronic inflammation of tissues.
  • ADs autoimmune diseases
  • the innate immune system activates, against self-antigens, the adaptive immune system which, in turn, is also responsible for the inflammatory process.
  • AIDs autoinflammatory diseases
  • ADs autoinflammatory diseases
  • autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases There seems to be a narrow relationship between autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, and recently it has been discovered that in traditionally considered autoimmune diseases (i.e. psoriasis, systemic lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), autoinflammatory processes plays also a critical role.
  • autoimmune diseases i.e. psoriasis, systemic lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.
  • autoinflammatory processes plays also a critical role.
  • IL-17 interleukin-17
  • IL-17 interleukin-17
  • contradictory effects are linked to this cytokine.
  • IL-17 has regulatory roles in host defence and chronic inflammation, which result in tissue damage and autoimmunity. So, the IL-17 links innate and adaptive immunity, but it has also been seen that IL-17 has both beneficial and pathological effects on the immune system.
  • IL-17 is a cytokine whose gene was isolated from a rat-mouse T cell hybridoma in 1993.
  • CTLA-8 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein
  • IL- 17E is also known as IL-25, and because it presents low homology with other molecules of the family and contributes to the induction of allergies, it is thought to have functions different from those of IL-17A.
  • IL-17A Several types of immune cells produce IL-17A, and Th17 cells, the newly established subset of helper T cells, have received particular attention.
  • secukinumab did was effective in a case of refractory lupus nephritis in a patient suffering from psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus, as explained by Satoh et al., “A case of refractory lupus nephritis complicated by psoriasis vulgaris that was controlled with secukinumab”, Case Report Lupus (2016) 0, 1-5. The authors administered secukinumab after realising of the presence of Th17 cells in peripheral blood and the presence of IL-17 positive lymphocytes infiltrated in renal tissue, to which presence the worsening of some parameters in the patient were correlated.
  • IL-17A-/- IL-17 deficient mice
  • IL-17A-/- chronic kidney disease was simulated after 5/6 nephrectomy
  • albuminuria increased throughout the experiment.
  • Crohn’s disease and immunoglobulins A nephropathy are highly impeding diseases, supposing high costs to health authorities and also to society since they are common in working-age population.
  • Other complex autoimmune and autoinflammatory concomitant diseases include autoimmune thyroid diseases (i.e. Grave’s disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis).
  • Another highly impeding disease with indicia of being an autoimmune and autoinflammatory concomitant disease is the neurological disease multiple sclerosis.
  • Immunoglobulins A nephropathy is the most prevalent primary glomerulonephritis. Prognostic is good but about 30 % of the patients will likely develop an advanced kidney disease that will need of chronic substitutive kidney therapy (dialysis or kidney transplantation). Evolution of the IgAN is followed by determining hematuria, proteinuria and arterial blood pressure. Main control of IgAN is performed by means of corticosteroid therapy, renin angiotensin system inhibitors, as well as immunosuppressive therapy (i.e mycophenolate) and biologic compounds (i.e. Rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody targeted against the pan-B-cell marker CD2); unfortunately, without controversial results.
  • immunosuppressive therapy i.e mycophenolate
  • biologic compounds i.e. Rituximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody targeted against the pan-B-cell marker CD2
  • IgAN is considered a multi-cause or multi-hit disease comprising an autoimmune component but also other factors.
  • the autoimmune component mainly derives from abnormalities in mucosal immunity and is well known the presence of elevated amounts of a galactose deficient IgA (Gd-lgA), the presence of autoantibodies recognizing Gd-lgA, and the presence of circulating immune complexes containing the Gd-lgA (complexes form of autoantibodies and of Gd-lgA).
  • Gd-lgA and the immune complexes induces the permanent and increasing mesangial proliferation cells, which are the responsible for the disruption of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) with two different implications:
  • hematuria The onset of hematuria. In normal health status the endothelium fenestrations (50- 100 nm) are too small in comparison with red blood cells (RBC) diameter (6.2-8.2 pm) which maintain the RBCs away from the glomerular basal membrane (GBM). Hematuria results in heme group release in the glomeruli with high toxic effects, denature cellular proteins and altering cellular integrity and also increasing inflammation through nuclear factor Kappa beta (NF-kb) pathway.
  • RBC red blood cells
  • NF-kb nuclear factor Kappa beta
  • IgAN autoinflam matory diseases
  • AIDs autoinflam matory diseases
  • IgAN has been reported associated with some genes altered leading disorders in the innate immune response.
  • Familial Mediterranean Fever the IgAN has been described, and also in other AIDs named hyper IgE syndrome the plasma levels of the Immunoglobulin A are elevated which suggest that AIDs are associated with the IgAN.
  • hyperuricemia hyperuricemia
  • the mortality risk is independent of the renal function, condition that suggests that hyperuricemia “per se” indicates systemic disorders.
  • physiologic levels of uric acid are the predominant anti-oxidant molecule in plasma and is necessary and sufficient for induction of type 2 immune responses.
  • the uric acid acts as a danger signal promoting the generation of inflammatory monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
  • the uric acid results from the metabolism of the purines derived from damage, dyeing and dead cells and are typically increased in chronic renal disease patients and it has been associated with mesangial and proximal tubular cells damage.
  • a therapy that decreases plasma uric acid represents a potential benefit not only for preventing the direct mesangial and tubular cells and also because lowering plasma uric acid may be associated with a normalized type 2 immune response.
  • the type 2 immune disorders are recently described as an initial pathogenic step which alters intestinal epithelial barrier.
  • Proteinuria Excess of serum proteins in urine
  • Proteinuria is a feature of nephrotic syndromes (intrinsic renal failure), toxic lesions of kidney, glomerular diseases, stress, diabetes mellitus, and some infections (HIV, post-streptococcal infection, hepatitis), among other conditions. Since it finally supposes a stress for kidney, it is highly desired to find methods directed to control proteinuria.
  • the invention provides, as a first aspect, a combination comprising: a) an inhibitor of interleukin-17; and b) a vitamin D receptor agonist.
  • Inventors have surprisingly found that the combination in a sequential manner of a selective vitamin D receptor activator, in particular paricalcitol and subsequently an inhibitor of IL-17 activity, in particular the monoclonal antibody secukinumab, are associated with a significantly reduction in proteinuria in relation to initial basal proteinuria in IgAN patients, indicating that the introduction in a sequential manner of the paricalcitol and subsequently the secukinumab may restore the filtration proteins process at the glomeruli; while if the secukinumab is used alone or in different IgAN glomerular diseases, the proteinuria may dramatically worsen.
  • the sequential treatment was also capable to restore the glomerular filtration barrier, fact explained by the sequential therapy where hematuria completely disappeared in IgAN patients, indicating an important benefit related to the immunocomplexes deposition due to autoimmune component control.
  • IgAN is considered as a multi-cause disease catalogued as an autoimmune disease; however, the clinical and pathophysiologic effects observed in the IgAN and previously disclosed in detail in the background, induced the inventors to assumption that the IgAN is indeed a dual disease with autoimmune and autoinflammatory concomitant disease and conceived a particular treatment protocol that surprisingly allowed controlling autoimmune and autoinflammatory components with extremely beneficial results.
  • IL-17 blocking To avoid potential damage induced by the IL-17 blocking, as was reported in several case reports, inventors surprisingly found that by inducing in the patient an anti-inflammatory milieu increasing the expression of the IL-10 and inhibiting the Th1 cells prior to blocking IL-17, any adverse effect induced by IL-17 blocking was actually avoided. Moreover, it is known that the administration of inhibitors of the IL-17 are associated with a decrease in the expression of the Treg lymphocytes.
  • the Treg are T cells that modulate the immune system, maintain tolerance to self-antigens, and prevent autoimmune disease, so, a lowering number of Treg is also an undesirable effect of the IL-17 blocking.
  • treatment with a selective Vitamin D receptor agonist prior to IL-17 blocking or inhibition represents an effective and safety therapeutic schedule for the prevention and/or treatment of several diseases catalogued as autoimmune and autoinflammatory concomitant disease.
  • Inhibitors of IL-17 activity have caused in several cases serious adverse effects, as illustrated in the case of Crohn’s disease, another multi-cause disease considered an autoimmune disease with a concomitant autoinflammatory component, as previously disclosed. Therefore, the positive effect observed now by inventors with the sequential treatment was really unexpected. Without being bound to any theory, inventors consider that when administered in combination with a vitamin D receptor agonist, in particular with a selective vitamin D receptor agonist; a context of anti-inflammatory environment is achieved allowing reducing any adverse effect that could be caused directly or indirectly by the inhibitor of IL-17 activity.
  • Th1 lymphocytes Another surprising effect observed by inventors was that of a change of immunophenotype of the Th1 lymphocytes, or which is the same, a change of the set of proteins that are expressed by this cell type. Inhibition of IL-17 activity as well as of Th17 and Treg blockade provide harmful effects (glomerulonephritis and colitis) if this blockade is accompanied by the presence and complete activation of Th1. This change of phenotype would make that recruitment of Th1 due to blockade of IL-17 be less negative in terms of adverse side-effects or even to supress any of them because Th1 cells do not act as proinflammatory actors.
  • Th1 is a type of T helper cells that mainly produce interferon-gamma, essential for macrophage activation and clearance of pathogens, but they are also involved in cell-mediated autoimmune diseases (see. Turner et al., “The Th17 immune response in renal inflammation”, Kidney International -2010, vol. no. 77, pp.: 1070-1075).
  • the invention encompasses also, as a second aspect, a package or kit of parts comprising: i) a first pharmaceutical or veterinary composition which comprises an amount of an inhibitor of IL-17 as defined in any of claims 1-7, together with one or more pharmaceutically or veterinary acceptable excipients or carriers; and ii) a second pharmaceutical or veterinary composition which comprises an amount of vitamin D receptor agonist, together with one or more pharmaceutically or veterinary acceptable excipients or carriers; wherein the first and second compositions are separate compositions, and wherein the amount of the compound of inhibitor of IL-17 of i) and the amount of vitamin D receptor agonist of ii) in combination are therapeutically effective.

  • the cocktail of cytokines involved in a pathological condition involving tumor immune tolerance, or autoimmunity and autoinflammation concomitant conditions is modulated in such a way that anti- inflammatory environment is first promoted with the vitamin D receptor agonist, and then inhibition of pro-inflammatory items are blocked, reduced or effectively minimized in a safe way with the inhibitor of IL-17 activity.

  • patients treated with the proposed combination therapy experienced a high reduction of proteinuria, in relation to basal value before therapy. Therefore, present description proposes this combination therapy for use in the treatment of the symptoms of kidney damage or of kidney disease.
  • treating proteinuria may not result in the treatment of the main cause of the disease, even more when several are the causes involved in the disease, at least the treating of proteinuria will minimize the worsening of the pathological condition.
  • Inclusion criteria 1.- Biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy.
  • the treatment consists of two phases: a) Induction Phase: from month 0 to month 1. b) Maintenance Phase: from month 1 to month 6.
  • any of the induction phase (a) and maintenance phase (b) some patients could equally have received a dose of paricalcitol from 0.4 to 1 mcg/day. Indeed, in any of the induction phase (a) and maintenance phase (b), other patients (data not shown) received an average of 0.71 mcg/day of paricalcitol (5 days of treatment in a week at a dose of 1 mcg/day of paricalcitol). This dose of paricalcitol gave also good results.
  • Patient 1 and patient 2 is the same in two time points.
  • Table II shows the evolution of the proteinuria determined by its quantification in 24-hours colleted urine.
  • initial increase in the proteinuria level was observed, however it decreased proatively at month 3 and 6.
  • the patient 1, 2 and 3 decreased the 24 hours proteinuria in 62%, 44% and 58% respectively, which is clinically significant.
  • patient 5 was included as a control nephropathy patient. That patient was treated with secukinumab for his reumatologic disease (Ankylosing spondylitis) as is indicated by data sheet.
  • secukinumab for his reumatologic disease (Ankylosing spondylitis) as is indicated by data sheet.
  • the moderate proteinuria level increased to a nephrotic level (> 3,5 g/24h) which is a life-threatening condition. It was the reason why secukinumab needs to be stopped.
  • this patient only received secukinumab and no paricalcitol was administered. This fact represents a crucial aspect that reinforces the invention.
  • the proteinuria changes during the follow-up indicates a rapid decline in their values, when it was evaluated as a whole.
  • de % decrease was 28%, while the antiproteinuric effect was more pronounced in month 3 of the follow up, when lowering proteinuria reached nearly than 50%.
  • the decrease in the UA values indicates a decrease in the purine metabolism, it means a decrease in damage, dying and dead cells in the body. This was surprising, but nonetheless it could be confirmed that peripheric red blood cells and the platelets number did not decrease during the study, thus, the decrease may represent a decrease in white blood cells, in particular related to theTH17 cells evolution as is show in Table XIII. Moreover, hematuria disappeared, which is another important reason for the UA lowering effect. The decrease of the UA was more important at the end of the induction phase, showing during the study levels considered in the normal range (3,5 to 7,2 mg/dl).
  • the decrease in UA may reflect the control in the autoimmune component, because UA is necessary for the type 2 immune response, which is the direct immune disorder for treating in the sequential MNL therapy.
  • Plasma triglycerides levels evolution The triglycerides levels (See Table IV) show a desirable evolution; in particular in patient 3 and 4, who initially presented higher triglycerides levels. The explanation for its positive effect is consistent with the evolution of the proteinuria. Importantly, the benefit in blood pressure, UA and the triglycerides, keeping the same weight indicates a positive effect on the metabolic syndrome.
  • the plasma total proteins increased as shown in table V in patients 1-3.
  • patient 4 its values decreased proliferatively, indicating no response of the sequential MNL therapy in this no IgAN patient.
  • Table V Total plasma proteins VI. Renal lysosomal activity evolution One of the most important component of the sequential MLN therapy is the controlled influence on the lysosomal activity in safe manner.
  • the lysosomal activity increased in patients 1 , 2 and 3; however its activity decreases in patient 4 (see data in Table VI).
  • the mean of the lysosomal activity determined by the urine determination of the N-Acetyl-b-D-glucoaminidase activity increased as shown in Table X. This condition informs conversely with the current state of the art, that a renal damage is not associated as the investor inform in the present application.
  • Table VI Lysosomal activity. Urine N-Acetyl-B-D-glucosaminidase U/ g creatinine
  • the lysosomal activity decreased progenitor in every patients and as a whole. Those changes occurred after the induction phase and was associated with a progressive decrease in the proteinuria levels.
  • the progressive decrease on renal lysosomal activity was associated with a progressive decrease in the proteinuria levels, during that period of time the doses of the secukinumab was lower that in the induction phase; however the dosage of the paricalcitol and the secukinumab was the same which clearly indicates that the beneficial effect on proteinuria was maintained during all the maintenance phase.
  • patient 4 the lysosomal activity decreased from the basal high levels, but the proteinuric response in this patient was unsatisfactory, and completely opposite in comparison with patients 1, 2 and 3.
  • hematuria is a hallmark sing of the glomerulonephritis process.
  • this kind of glomerular disorder was completely restored in all patients, confirming that the immunocomplexes deposition (autoimmune component of the disease) in the mesangial area of the glomerulus improved after treatment.
  • the effect on hematuria was permanent indicating a clear repairing process of the glomerular filtration barrier.
  • the selective vitamin D receptor activation may play a role in the Th1 expression through the inhibition of the IL-6 and TGF-beta. After the decrease percentage of the Th1 during the induction phase a potent increase in the same Th1 percentage was observed. Because the month 0 (M0) and month 3 (M3) time points were associated with changes in proteinuria from 2.1 to 0.8g/24hours respectively (about 60% in proteinuria reduction) it could be concluded that this was not a escape phenomenon, but represented a change in the phenotype of these cells obtained after treating with the sequential therapy.
  • the changes of the Treg as a whole indicates a weak benefit in this type of cells.
  • the underline effect responsible of this effect may be related to the inhibition of the TGF-beta as a consequence of the selective vitamin D receptor activator. This induced condition is also interesting, due to the following reasons
  • the no reduction of Treg also may be reflecting that an increase in the Treg is no longer needed after the treatment with paricalcitol.
  • Th17 cells evolution Changes in the Th17 cells could only be quantified in patient 1, the changes in patient 3 and 4 were unquantifiable. The progressive decrease in these cells are consistent with the previous report. The decrease in Th17 could be due to the proposed sequential therapy. It is well accepted that paricalcitol and secukinumab have the potential to decrease these cells (see data of patient 1 in Table XIII above).
