  • T1DM Type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus is immune-mediated, in which insulin-producing ⁇ cells are destroyed. Yet, at the time of diagnosis, most patients still have appreciable amounts of insulin production. Preservation of residual ⁇ -cell function is highly desirable because it can reduce short-term and long-term complications of the disease.

  • the T-cell co-stimulation antagonist may bind a B7 antigen expressed on B cells or other antigen presenting cells (APCs).
  • the B7 antigen is expressed on B cells and on APCs.
  • the fusion protein is Abatacept.

  • the composition may be administered by intravenous infusion, such as in about 50 to 200 ml of physiological saline or at a dose ranging from about 5 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg or at a dose ranging from about 250 to 2000 mg, or at a dose of 500 mg, 750 mg, or 1000 mg.
  • the methods as described herein may also comprise determining levels of C-peptide in blood samples taken from the subject over time as an indicator of effectiveness of the treatment in inhibiting activation of auto-aggressive T-cells.
  • the effectiveness of the composition in inhibiting activation of auto-aggressive T-cells is indicated by maintenance of C-peptide production or a delay in reduction of C-peptide production as compared to a standard or by improved HbA1c or reduction in the use of insulin by said subject as compared to a standard.
  • Such measurements can be done ex vivo, such as by analyzing a blood sample.
  • the reduction of C-peptide production in said subject may be delayed for at least 3, 6, 9, 12, or 18 months, or 2, 3, 4, or more years.

  • Some embodiments provided herewith provide a method of preventing the onset of diabetes in a subject at risk for diabetes mellitus comprising administering an effective amount of a fusion protein composition comprising a T-cell co-stimulation antagonist and a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule. Some embodiments provided herewith provide a method delaying the onset of diabetes by at least 3, 6, 9, 12, or 18 months, or 2, 3, 4, or more years in a subject at risk for diabetes mellitus by administering an effective amount of a fusion protein composition comprising a T-cell co-stimulation antagonist and a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule.

HbA1c is glycated haemoglobin A1c.
  • CTLA4 molecule can be used for the treatment, prevention, or delayed progression of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in a subject.
  • C-peptide is a protein that is produced in the body along with insulin.
  • preproinsulin is secreted with an A-chain, C-peptide, a B-chain, and a signal sequence.
  • the signal sequence is cut off, leaving proinsulin. Then the C-peptide is cut out, leaving the A-chain and B-chain to form insulin. Since C-peptide and insulin are present in equimolar amounts, it is a highly reliable marker for insulin production and the health of pancreatic ⁇ cells.
  • T cells play a central part in autoimmunity associated with Type 1 diabetes. To become fully activated and autoaggressive, T cells are believed to need at least two crucial signals.
  • the first signal is an interaction between an antigen in the groove of the MHC molecule on antigen-presenting cells and the T-cell receptor (TCR).
  • TCR T-cell receptor
  • the most important second signal is the interaction between CD80 and CD86 on the antigen presenting cells (APCs) and CD28 on the T cells. This costimulatory second signal is needed for full activation of cells, and without it T cells do not become functional. Therefore, co-stimulation blockade has been proposed as a therapeutic modality for autoimmunity and transplantation. (Bluestone J A, St Clair E W, Turka L A. Immunity 2006; 24: 233-38.)

  • Naturally occurring CTLA4 is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,434,131, 5,844,095, and 5,851,795.
  • Natural CTLA4 proteins are encoded by the CTLA4 gene.
  • CTLA4 is a cell surface protein, having an N-terminal extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The extracellular domain binds to and/or interferes with target antigens, such as CD80 and CD86, serves as nature natural break of T cell stimulation.

  • the extracellular domain may also include fragments or derivatives of CTLA4 that bind a binds CD80 and/or CD86.
  • the CTLA4 molecule may be a fusion protein, where a fusion protein is defined as one or more amino acid sequences joined together using methods well known in the art. The joined amino acid sequences thereby form one fusion protein.

  • the CTLA4 molecule is a protein containing at least a portion of an immunoglobulin, such as the Fc portion of an immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, the CTLA4 molecule is an isolated and purified CTLA4 molecule.
  • the CTLA4 molecule is abatacept.
  • Abatacept is a soluble fusion protein that consists of the extracellular domain of human CTLA-4 linked to the modified Fc (hinge, CH2, and CH3 domains) portion of human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1).
  • Abatacept is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell expression system. The apparent molecular weight of abatacept is 92 kilodaltons.
  • Abatacept was developed for use in adult rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis and is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inducing major clinical response, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Abatacept was developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and is disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. 5,851,795, U.S. Pat. No. 7,455,835, and U.S. Pat. Pub. 20011/311529.

  • DMARDs disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs
  • TNF tumor necrosis factor
  • Abatacept is also indicated for reducing signs and symptoms in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older with moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
  • Abatacept may be used as monotherapy or concomitantly with methotrexate (MTX). Since abatacept is a selective costimulation modulator and inhibits the costimulation of T cells, it should not be administered concomitantly with TNF antagonists.
  • Abatacept selectively binds to CD80 and CD86, thereby blocking the interaction with CD28 and interfering with T-cell activation. It inhibits naive T-cell activation, thus having the potential to selectively inhibit T-cell response to specific antigens instead of broad immunosuppression. Effector-memory T-cell responses are less dependent on CD28 co-stimulation and, presumably, are less inhibited by co-stimulation blockade.
  • Co-stimulation blockade with abatacept has been shown to have clinical effectiveness in psoriasis (Abrams J R, Lebwohl M G, Guzzo C A, et al. J Clin Invest 1999; 103: 1243-52) and psoriatic arthritis (Mease P, Genovese M C, Gladstein G, et al. Arthritis Rheum 2011; 63: 939-48) and is approved for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Genant H K, Peterfy C G, Westhovens R, et al.
  • T-cell co-stimulatory antagonists such as CTLA-4 compositions and in particular abatacept, halts or slows autoimmune ⁇ -cell destruction leading to preservation of C-peptide secretion in recently diagnosed patients with Type 1 diabetes by blocking the generation of autoaggressive T cells (Orban et al., Lancet 2011; 378 (9789): 412-9.)

  • CFA Complete Freund's Adjuvant
  • Montanide ISA Adjuvants are a group of oil/surfactant based adjuvants in which different surfactants are combined with either a non-metabolizable mineral oil, a metabolizable oil, or a mixture of the two. They are prepared for use as an emulsion with aqueous Ag solution.
  • the surfactants of the Montanide group undergo strict quality control to guard against contamination by any substances that could cause excessive inflammation, as has been found for some lots of Arlacel A used in Freund's adjuvant.
  • the various Montanide ISA group of adjuvants are used as water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions, or water-in-oil-in-water emulsions.
  • the different adjuvants accommodate different aqueous phase/oil phase ratios, because of the variety of surfactant and oil combinations.
  • Hunter's TiterMax (CytRx Corp., Norcross, Ga.) is an oil/surfactant-based adjuvant prepared as a water-in-oil emulsion in a manner similar to that used for conventional Freund's adjuvants. However, it uses a metabolizable oil (squalene) and a nonionic surfactant that has good protein antigen-binding capacity as well as adjuvant activity.
  • the adjuvant activity may relate, in part, to the surfactant's ability to activate complement and bind complement components, as this helps target the Ag to follicular dendritic cells in the spleen and lymph nodes.
  • the surfactant used in the commercially available adjuvant is one of a number of synthetic nonionic block copolymers of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene developed by Hunter (Hunter et al., 1991 Vaccine 9:250-256).
  • the utilization of copolymer-coated microparticles to stabilize the emulsion permits formation of stable emulsions with less than 20% oil, an important factor in minimizing total adjuvant injected.
  • An adjuvant can be used with antigens to elicit cell-mediated immunity and the production of antibodies of protective isotypes (IgG2a in mice and IgG1 in primates).
  • IgG2a in mice
  • IgG1 in primates
  • Different types of adjuvants share similar side effects, such as a reaction at the injection site and pyrogenicity.
  • Alum a commonly used adjuvant for human vaccine also produces an appreciable granulomatous response at the injection site (Allison & Byars (1991) Mol Immunol 28:279-284).
  • the mode of action of an incomplete Freund's adjuvant can involve non-specific as well as specific immune responses. IFA seems to work by triggering the immunocompetent cells, which are related to the inflammatory as well as protective ability.
  • IFA also acts as an antigen vehicle and a slow release or long-term antigen presentation device. Injecting a patient with an IFA and antigen compound, it forms a depot of antigen at the injection site, thereby protecting the antigen from degradation. From this depot the antigen is released slowly into the system and provides a prolonged antigen presentation as well as expanded total contact surface area and the attraction of inflammatory cells. Macrophages digest most of the incorporated materials and present the processed antigens on their surface. From this depot the antigen can be released slowly into the system and provides a prolonged antigen supply to act as costimulatory modulator.
  • the specific enhancing effect of the IFA on the antigen immunogenicity has been found to lead to increased humoral immunity (preferentially protective antibody production; IgG1 in humans and IgG2a in mice) and to elicit specific cell mediated immunity (preferentially Th2 type).
  • humoral immunity preferentially protective antibody production
  • IgG1 in humans
  • IgG2a in mice
  • Th2 type specific cell mediated immunity
  • human recombinant insulin B-chain in IFA results in Th2 cytokine pattern in NOD mice islets (Ramiya et al. (1996) J Autoimmun 9:349-356).
  • IFA is unique among adjuvants tried for diabetes prevention in animal models. Ramiya and coworkers (supra) concluded that both alum and DPT as adjuvants have ‘non-specific’ protective effects unrelated to the antigen used, while IFA is the only one with antigen specific protective effect for diabetes prevention in animals.
  • IFA preferably an IFA approved for human use, e.g., Montanide (e.g., Montanide ISA51, Seppic Inc., France) or an equivalent composition, is a preferred adjuvant for use in the methods and vaccines described herein.

  • the early beneficial effect suggests that T-cell activation still occurs around the time of clinical diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, even though the disease course has presumably been in progress for several years.
  • the fall in ⁇ -cell function in the abatacept group parallels that in the placebo group on the basis of the mixed-model results that included the time interval from 6 to 24 months.
  • This subsequent reduction in ⁇ -cell function causes us to speculate that continuing T-cell activation subsides as the clinical course of the disease progresses. Nevertheless, the difference from the placebo group is maintained during drug administration. Further observation will establish whether the beneficial effect continues after cessation of monthly abatacept infusions. Follow up of these patient shows that the drug beneficial effect lasts beyond the drug administration for at least one year.
