Definitions
- CSF1R colony stimulating factor 1 receptor
- Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (referred to herein as CSF1R; also referred to in the art as FMS, FIM2, C-FMS, M-CSF receptor, and CD115) is a single-pass transmembrane receptor with an N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) and a C-terminal intracellular domain with tyrosine kinase activity.
- CSF1R Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor
- CSF1 or the interleukin 34 ligand referred to herein as IL-34; Lin et al., Science 320: 807-11 (2008)
- CSF1R the interleukin 34 ligand
- IL-34 the interleukin 34 ligand
- Both CSF1 and IL-34 stimulate monocyte survival, proliferation, and differentiation into macrophages, as well as other monocytic cell lineages such as osteoclasts, dendritic cells, and microglia.
- CSF1R tumor-associated macrophages
- TAMs tumor-associated macrophages
- CSF1R plays a role in osteolytic bone destruction in bone metastasis. See, e.g., Ohno et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 5: 2634-43 (2006).
- CSF1 and its receptor have also been found to be involved in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. See, e.g., Hamilton, Nat. Rev. 8: 533-44 (2008). For example, synovial endothelial cells from joints afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis have been found to produce CSF1, suggesting a role for CSF1 and its receptor in the disease. Blocking CSF1R activity with an antibody results in positive clinical effects in mouse models of arthritis, including a reduction in the destruction of bone and cartilage and a reduction in macrophage numbers. See, e.g., Kitaura et al., J. Clin. Invest. 115: 3418-3427 (2005).
- Mature differentiated myeloid lineage cells such as macrophages, microglial cells, and osteoclasts contribute to pathology of various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diseases of bone loss.
- Differentiated myeloid lineage cells are derived from peripheral blood monocyte intermediates.
- CSF1R stimulation contributes to development of monocytes from bone marrow precursors, to monocyte proliferation and survival, and to differentiation of peripheral blood monocytes into differentiated myeloid lineage cells such as macrophages, microglial cells, and osteoclasts.
- CSF1R stimulation thus contributes to proliferation, survival, activation, and maturation of differentiated myeloid lineage cells, and in the pathologic setting, CSF1R stimulation contributes to the ability of differentiated myeloid lineage cells to mediate disease pathology.

Because RA can affect multiple organs of the body, including skin, lungs, and eyes, it is referred to as a systemic illness.
- rheumatoid arthritis includes not only active and early RA, but also incipient RA, as defined below.
- Physiological indicators of RA include, symmetric joint swelling which is characteristic though not invariable in RA. Fusiform swelling of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the hands as well as metacarpophalangeal (MCP), wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints are commonly affected and swelling is easily detected. Pain on passive motion is the most sensitive test for joint inflammation, and inflammation and structural deformity often limits the range of motion for the affected joint.
- Typical visible changes include ulnar deviation of the fingers at the MCP joints, hyperextension, or hyperflexion of the MCP and PIP joints, flexion contractures of the elbows, and subluxation of the carpal bones and toes.
- the subject with RA may be resistant to a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD), and/or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
- DMARD disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug
- NSAID non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
- Nonlimiting exemplary “DMARDs” include hydroxycloroquine, sulfasalazine, methotrexate (MTX), leflunomide, etanercept, infliximab (plus oral and subcutaneous MTX), azathioprine, D-penicillamine, gold salts (oral), gold salts (intramuscular), minocycline, cyclosporine including cyclosporine A and topical cyclosporine, staphylococcal protein A (Goodyear and Silverman, J. Exp. Med., 197(9):1125-1139 (2003)), including salts and derivatives thereof, etc.
- Further candidates for therapy according to this invention include those who have experienced an inadequate response to previous or current treatment with TNF inhibitors such as etanercept, infliximab and/or adalimumab because of toxicity or inadequate efficacy.
- a patient with “active rheumatoid arthritis” means a patient with active and not latent symptoms of RA.
- Subjects with “early active rheumatoid arthritis” are those subjects with active RA diagnosed for at least 8 weeks but no longer than four years, according to the revised 1987 ACR criteria for the classification of RA.
- Subjects with “early rheumatoid arthritis” are those subjects with RA diagnosed for at least eight weeks but no longer than four years, according to the revised 1987 ACR criteria for classification of RA.
- RA includes, for example, juvenile-onset RA, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), or juvenile RA (JRA).
- Patients with “incipient rheumatoid arthritis” have early polyarthritis that does not fully meet ACR criteria for a diagnosis of RA, in association with the presence of RA-specific prognostic biomarkers such as anti-CCP and shared epitope. They include patients with positive anti-CCP antibodies who present with polyarthritis, but do not yet have a diagnosis of RA, and are at high risk for going on to develop bona fide ACR criteria RA (95% probability).
- “Joint damage” is used in the broadest sense and refers to damage or partial or complete destruction to any part of one or more joints, including the connective tissue and cartilage, where damage includes structural and/or functional damage of any cause, and may or may not cause joint pain/arthalgia. It includes, without limitation, joint damage associated with or resulting from inflammatory joint disease as well as non-inflammatory joint disease. This damage may be caused by any condition, such as an autoimmune disease, especially arthritis, and most especially RA.
- Exemplary such conditions include acute and chronic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (including juvenile-onset RA, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)), and stages such as rheumatoid synovitis, gout or gouty arthritis, acute immunological arthritis, chronic inflammatory arthritis, degenerative arthritis, type II collagen-induced arthritis, infectious arthritis, septic arthritis, Lyme arthritis, proliferative arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Still's disease, vertebral arthritis, osteoarthritis, arthritis chronica progrediente, arthritis deformans, polyarthritis chronica primaria, reactive arthritis, menopausal arthritis, estrogen-depletion arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis/rheumatoid spondylitis), rheumatic autoimmune disease other than RA, and significant systemic involvement secondary to RA (including but not limited to vasculitis, pulmonary fibrosis or Felty's
- joints are points of contact between elements of a skeleton (of a vertebrate such as an animal) with the parts that surround and support it and include, but are not limited to, for example, hips, joints between the vertebrae of the spine, joints between the spine and pelvis (sacroiliac joints), joints where the tendons and ligaments attach to bones, joints between the ribs and spine, shoulders, knees, feet, elbows, hands, fingers, ankles and toes, but especially joints in the hands and feet.

- Treatment refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) the targeted pathologic condition or disorder.
- treatment covers any administration or application of a therapeutic for disease in a mammal, including a human, and includes inhibiting or slowing the disease or progression of the disease; partially or fully relieving the disease, for example, by causing regression, or restoring or repairing a lost, missing, or defective function; stimulating an inefficient process; or causing the disease plateau to have reduced severity.
- treatment also includes reducing the severity of any phenotypic characteristic and/or reducing the incidence, degree, or likelihood of that characteristic. Those in need of treatment include those already with the disorder as well as those prone to have the disorder or those in whom the disorder is to be prevented.
- Chronic administration refers to administration of an agent in a continuous mode as opposed to an acute mode, so as to maintain the initial therapeutic effect (activity) for an extended period of time.
- Intermittent administration is treatment that is not consecutively done without interruption, but rather is cyclic in nature.
- an effective amount refers to an amount of a drug effective to treat a disease or disorder in a subject.
- an effective amount refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic or prophylactic result.

- a therapeutically effective amount encompasses an amount in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the anti-CSF1R antibody are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects.
- prophylactically effective amount refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, but not necessarily, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount would be less than the therapeutically effective amount.
- Administration “in combination with” one or more further therapeutic agents includes simultaneous (concurrent) and consecutive administration in any order.
- a “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to a non-toxic solid, semisolid, or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material, formulation auxiliary, or carrier conventional in the art for use with a therapeutic agent that together comprise a “pharmaceutical composition” for administration to a subject.
- a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed and is compatible with other ingredients of the formulation.
- the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is appropriate for the formulation employed.
- the carrier may be a gel capsule. If the therapeutic agent is to be administered subcutaneously, the carrier ideally is not irritable to the skin and does not cause injection site reaction.

- IV intravenous
- the dose range studied was 3-150 mg/kg after a single dose and 3-150 mg/kg after repeat doses.
- the duration of infusion was 30 minutes.
- the dosing interval in the repeat-dose studies was once a week with each animal receiving a total of 4 doses.
- PK profile following a single 30-minute IV infusion of huAb1 in cynomolgus monkeys was characterized by a rapid distribution, followed by a slower terminal phase that ended with an accelerated depletion of huAb1 from the plasma, consistent with target-mediated clearance.

Abstract
Methods of treating conditions with antibodies that bind colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) are provided. Such methods include, but are not limited to, methods of treating rheumatoid arthritis.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/319,143, filed Dec. 15, 2016, which is a national stage under 35 USC § 371 of International Application No. PCT/US2015/036419, filed Jun. 18, 2015, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/015,710, filed Jun. 23, 2014, all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety for any purpose.
- Methods of treating conditions with antibodies that bind
colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) are provided. Such methods include, but are not limited to, methods of treating rheumatoid arthritis. -
Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (referred to herein as CSF1R; also referred to in the art as FMS, FIM2, C-FMS, M-CSF receptor, and CD115) is a single-pass transmembrane receptor with an N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD) and a C-terminal intracellular domain with tyrosine kinase activity. Ligand binding of CSF1 or the interleukin 34 ligand (referred to herein as IL-34; Lin et al., Science 320: 807-11 (2008)) to CSF1R leads to receptor dimerization, upregulation of CSF1R protein tyrosine kinase activity, phosphorylation of CSF1R tyrosine residues, and downstream signaling events. Both CSF1 and IL-34 stimulate monocyte survival, proliferation, and differentiation into macrophages, as well as other monocytic cell lineages such as osteoclasts, dendritic cells, and microglia. - Many tumor cells have been found to secrete CSF1, which activates monocyte/macrophage cells through CSF1R. The level of CSF1 in tumors has been shown to correlate with the level of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor. Higher levels of TAMs have been found to correlate with poorer patient prognoses. In addition, CSF1 has been found to promote tumor growth and progression to metastasis in, for example, human breast cancer xenografts in mice. See, e.g., Paulus et al., Cancer Res. 66: 4349-56 (2006). Further, CSF1R plays a role in osteolytic bone destruction in bone metastasis. See, e.g., Ohno et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 5: 2634-43 (2006).
- CSF1 and its receptor have also been found to be involved in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. See, e.g., Hamilton, Nat. Rev. 8: 533-44 (2008). For example, synovial endothelial cells from joints afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis have been found to produce CSF1, suggesting a role for CSF1 and its receptor in the disease. Blocking CSF1R activity with an antibody results in positive clinical effects in mouse models of arthritis, including a reduction in the destruction of bone and cartilage and a reduction in macrophage numbers. See, e.g., Kitaura et al., J. Clin. Invest. 115: 3418-3427 (2005).
- Mature differentiated myeloid lineage cells such as macrophages, microglial cells, and osteoclasts contribute to pathology of various diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diseases of bone loss. Differentiated myeloid lineage cells are derived from peripheral blood monocyte intermediates. CSF1R stimulation contributes to development of monocytes from bone marrow precursors, to monocyte proliferation and survival, and to differentiation of peripheral blood monocytes into differentiated myeloid lineage cells such as macrophages, microglial cells, and osteoclasts. CSF1R stimulation thus contributes to proliferation, survival, activation, and maturation of differentiated myeloid lineage cells, and in the pathologic setting, CSF1R stimulation contributes to the ability of differentiated myeloid lineage cells to mediate disease pathology.

As discussed herein, antibodies that bind CSF1R and block CSF1 and IL-34 ligand binding are effective for treating rheumatoid arthritis. The present inventors found that administering such antibodies to humans reduced the number of CD16+ peripheral blood monocytes in cynomolgus monkeys, but does not affect CD16− peripheral blood monocyte numbers CD16+ peripheral blood monocytes are highly inflammatory monocytes. See, e.g., Ziegler-Heitbrock, J. Leukocyte Biol., 2007, 81: 584-592. While it was previously found that administering such antibodies to cynomolgus monkeys reduced the number of CD16+ monocytes, the effect observed in humans is substantially and unexpectedly prolonged compared to the effect in cynomolgus monkeys. Indeed, at a single dose of just 1 mg/kg, CD16+ monocyte numbers were substantially suppressed for at least a week. At a dose of 3 mg/kg, CD16+ monocyte numbers were substantially suppressed for at least four weeks, while a single dose of 10 mg/kg suppressed CD16+ monocyte numbers for at least eight weeks. Further, administering such antibodies to humans also reduced serum CTx levels and showed a trend toward reduction of serum TRAP5b levels, both of which are markers of bone resorption. Taken together, these results suggest that antibodies that bind CSF1R and block CSF1 and IL-34 ligand binding will be an effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis with infrequent dosing.

- A “human antibody” as used herein refers to antibodies produced in humans, antibodies produced in non-human animals that comprise human immunoglobulin genes, such as XenoMouse®, and antibodies selected using in vitro methods, such as phage display, wherein the antibody repertoire is based on a human immunoglobulin sequences.
- The term “leader sequence” refers to a sequence of amino acid residues located at the N terminus of a polypeptide that facilitates secretion of a polypeptide from a mammalian cell. A leader sequence may be cleaved upon export of the polypeptide from the mammalian cell, forming a mature protein. Leader sequences may be natural or synthetic, and they may be heterologous or homologous to the protein to which they are attached. Exemplary leader sequences include, but are not limited to, antibody leader sequences, such as, for example, the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 3 and 4, which correspond to human light and heavy chain leader sequences, respectively.

In some embodiments, an antibody comprises at least one leader sequence, which may be selected from native antibody leader sequences and heterologous leader sequences.
- The term “vector” is used to describe a polynucleotide that may be engineered to contain a cloned polynucleotide or polynucleotides that may be propagated in a host cell. A vector may include one or more of the following elements: an origin of replication, one or more regulatory sequences (such as, for example, promoters and/or enhancers) that regulate the expression of the polypeptide of interest, and/or one or more selectable marker genes (such as, for example, antibiotic resistance genes and genes that may be used in colorimetric assays, e.g., β-galactosidase). The term “expression vector” refers to a vector that is used to express a polypeptide of interest in a host cell.
- A “host cell” refers to a cell that may be or has been a recipient of a vector or isolated polynucleotide. Host cells may be prokaryotic cells or eukaryotic cells. Exemplary eukaryotic cells include mammalian cells, such as primate or non-primate animal cells; fungal cells, such as yeast; plant cells; and insect cells. Nonlimiting exemplary mammalian cells include, but are not limited to, NSO cells, PER.C6® cells (Crucell), and 293 and CHO cells, and their derivatives, such as 293-6E and DG44 cells, respectively.
- The term “isolated” as used herein refers to a molecule that has been separated from at least some of the components with which it is typically found in nature. For example, a polypeptide is referred to as “isolated” when it is separated from at least some of the components of the cell in which it was produced. Where a polypeptide is secreted by a cell after expression, physically separating the supernatant containing the polypeptide from the cell that produced it is considered to be “isolating” the polypeptide. Similarly, a polynucleotide is referred to as “isolated” when it is not part of the larger polynucleotide (such as, for example, genomic DNA or mitochondrial DNA, in the case of a DNA polynucleotide) in which it is typically found in nature, or is separated from at least some of the components of the cell in which it was produced, e.g., in the case of an RNA polynucleotide. Thus, a DNA polynucleotide that is contained in a vector inside a host cell may be referred to as “isolated” so long as that polynucleotide is not found in that vector in nature.
- The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein to refer to a human. In some embodiments, methods of treating other mammals, including, but not limited to, rodents, simians, felines, canines, equines, bovines, porcines, ovines, caprines, mammalian laboratory animals, mammalian farm animals, mammalian sport animals, and mammalian pets, are also provided.
- As used herein, “rheumatoid arthritis” or “RA” refers to a recognized disease state that may be diagnosed according to the 2000 revised American Rheumatoid Association criteria for the classification of RA, or any similar criteria. In some embodiments, the term “rheumatoid arthritis” refers to a chronic autoimmune disease characterized primarily by inflammation of the lining (synovium) of the joints, which can lead to joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function, and disability. Because RA can affect multiple organs of the body, including skin, lungs, and eyes, it is referred to as a systemic illness.
- The term “rheumatoid arthritis” includes not only active and early RA, but also incipient RA, as defined below. Physiological indicators of RA include, symmetric joint swelling which is characteristic though not invariable in RA. Fusiform swelling of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the hands as well as metacarpophalangeal (MCP), wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints are commonly affected and swelling is easily detected. Pain on passive motion is the most sensitive test for joint inflammation, and inflammation and structural deformity often limits the range of motion for the affected joint. Typical visible changes include ulnar deviation of the fingers at the MCP joints, hyperextension, or hyperflexion of the MCP and PIP joints, flexion contractures of the elbows, and subluxation of the carpal bones and toes. The subject with RA may be resistant to a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD), and/or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Nonlimiting exemplary “DMARDs” include hydroxycloroquine, sulfasalazine, methotrexate (MTX), leflunomide, etanercept, infliximab (plus oral and subcutaneous MTX), azathioprine, D-penicillamine, gold salts (oral), gold salts (intramuscular), minocycline, cyclosporine including cyclosporine A and topical cyclosporine, staphylococcal protein A (Goodyear and Silverman, J.

- A patient with “active rheumatoid arthritis” means a patient with active and not latent symptoms of RA. Subjects with “early active rheumatoid arthritis” are those subjects with active RA diagnosed for at least 8 weeks but no longer than four years, according to the revised 1987 ACR criteria for the classification of RA.
- Subjects with “early rheumatoid arthritis” are those subjects with RA diagnosed for at least eight weeks but no longer than four years, according to the revised 1987 ACR criteria for classification of RA. RA includes, for example, juvenile-onset RA, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), or juvenile RA (JRA).
- Patients with “incipient rheumatoid arthritis” have early polyarthritis that does not fully meet ACR criteria for a diagnosis of RA, in association with the presence of RA-specific prognostic biomarkers such as anti-CCP and shared epitope. They include patients with positive anti-CCP antibodies who present with polyarthritis, but do not yet have a diagnosis of RA, and are at high risk for going on to develop bona fide ACR criteria RA (95% probability).
- “Joint damage” is used in the broadest sense and refers to damage or partial or complete destruction to any part of one or more joints, including the connective tissue and cartilage, where damage includes structural and/or functional damage of any cause, and may or may not cause joint pain/arthalgia. It includes, without limitation, joint damage associated with or resulting from inflammatory joint disease as well as non-inflammatory joint disease. This damage may be caused by any condition, such as an autoimmune disease, especially arthritis, and most especially RA. Exemplary such conditions include acute and chronic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (including juvenile-onset RA, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)), and stages such as rheumatoid synovitis, gout or gouty arthritis, acute immunological arthritis, chronic inflammatory arthritis, degenerative arthritis, type II collagen-induced arthritis, infectious arthritis, septic arthritis, Lyme arthritis, proliferative arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Still's disease, vertebral arthritis, osteoarthritis, arthritis chronica progrediente, arthritis deformans, polyarthritis chronica primaria, reactive arthritis, menopausal arthritis, estrogen-depletion arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis/rheumatoid spondylitis), rheumatic autoimmune disease other than RA, and significant systemic involvement secondary to RA (including but not limited to vasculitis, pulmonary fibrosis or Felty's syndrome).

- The term “CD16+ disorder” means a disease in which CD16+ monocytes of a mammal cause, mediate or otherwise contribute to a morbidity in the mammal. Also included are diseases in which reduction of CD16+ monocytes has an ameliorative effect on progression of the disease. Included within this term are CD16+ inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, immunodeficiency diseases, neoplasia, etc. In certain embodiments, CD16+ inflammatory diseases include inflammatory diseases that are not responsive to methotrexate therapy. In certain embodiments, CD16+ inflammatory diseases include methotrexate-resistant rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate-resistant multiple sclerosis, methotrexate-resistant lupus, methotrexate-resistant inflammatory bowel disease, methotrexate-resistant Crohn's disease, methotrexate-resistant asthma, and methotrexate-resistant psoriasis. In certain embodiments, patients having methotrexate-resistant diseases, such as methotrexate-resistant rheumatoid arthritis, are referred to as methotrexate incomplete responders or methotrexate inadequate responders.
- Examples of CD16+ disorders that can be treated according to the invention include, but are not limited to, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile chronic arthritis, spondyloarthropathies, systemic sclerosis (scieroderma), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (dermatomyositis, polymyositis), Sjogren's syndrome, systemic vasculitis, sarcoidosis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia (immune pancytopenia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria), autoimmune thrombocytopenia (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia), thyroiditis (Grave's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, juvenile lymphocytic thyroiditis, atrophic thyroiditis), diabetes mellitus, immune-mediated renal disease (glomerulonephritis, tubulointerstitial nephritis), demyelinating diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems such as multiple sclerosis, idiopathic demyelinating polyneuropathy or Guillain-Barre syndrome, and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, hepatobiliary diseases such as infectious hepatitis (hepatitis A, B, C, D, E and other non-hepatotropic viruses), autoimmune chronic active hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, granulomatous hepatitis, and sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis: Crohn's disease, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, and Whipple's disease, autoimmune or immune-mediated skin diseases including bullous skin diseases, erythema multiforme and contact dermatitis, psoriasis, allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food hypersensitivity and urticaria, immunologic diseases of the lung such as eosinophilic pneumonia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and hypersensitivity pneumonitis, transplantation associated diseases including graft rejection and graft-versus-host-disease; fibrosis, including kidney fibrosis and hepatic fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, cardiovascular events associated with chronic kidney disease, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure, diabetes, including type II diabetes, Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia (BOOP), hemophagocytic syndrome, macrophage activation syndrome, sarcoidosis, and periodontitis. Infectious diseases including viral diseases such as AIDS (HIV infection), hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, herpes, etc., bacterial infections, fungal infections, protozoal infections and parasitic infections.
- “Treatment,” as used herein, refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) the targeted pathologic condition or disorder. In certain embodiments, the term “treatment” covers any administration or application of a therapeutic for disease in a mammal, including a human, and includes inhibiting or slowing the disease or progression of the disease; partially or fully relieving the disease, for example, by causing regression, or restoring or repairing a lost, missing, or defective function; stimulating an inefficient process; or causing the disease plateau to have reduced severity. The term “treatment” also includes reducing the severity of any phenotypic characteristic and/or reducing the incidence, degree, or likelihood of that characteristic. Those in need of treatment include those already with the disorder as well as those prone to have the disorder or those in whom the disorder is to be prevented.
- “Chronic” administration refers to administration of an agent in a continuous mode as opposed to an acute mode, so as to maintain the initial therapeutic effect (activity) for an extended period of time. “Intermittent” administration is treatment that is not consecutively done without interruption, but rather is cyclic in nature.
- The term “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a drug effective to treat a disease or disorder in a subject. In certain embodiments, an effective amount refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic or prophylactic result. A therapeutically effective amount of an anti-CSF1R antibody of the invention may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the anti-CSF1R antibody to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount encompasses an amount in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the anti-CSF1R antibody are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects.
- A “prophylactically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, but not necessarily, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount would be less than the therapeutically effective amount.
- Administration “in combination with” one or more further therapeutic agents includes simultaneous (concurrent) and consecutive administration in any order.
- A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to a non-toxic solid, semisolid, or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material, formulation auxiliary, or carrier conventional in the art for use with a therapeutic agent that together comprise a “pharmaceutical composition” for administration to a subject. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed and is compatible with other ingredients of the formulation. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is appropriate for the formulation employed. For example, if the therapeutic agent is to be administered orally, the carrier may be a gel capsule. If the therapeutic agent is to be administered subcutaneously, the carrier ideally is not irritable to the skin and does not cause injection site reaction.
- Anti-CSF1R antibodies include, but are not limited to, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, mouse antibodies, human antibodies, and antibodies comprising the heavy chain and/or light chain CDRs discussed herein.
- Exemplary Humanized Antibodies
- In some embodiments, humanized antibodies that bind CSF1R are provided. Humanized antibodies are useful as therapeutic molecules because humanized antibodies reduce or eliminate the human immune response to non-human antibodies (such as the human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) response), which can result in an immune response to an antibody therapeutic, and decreased effectiveness of the therapeutic.
- Nonlimiting exemplary humanized antibodies include huAb1 through huAb16, described herein. Nonlimiting exemplary humanized antibodies also include antibodies comprising a heavy chain variable region of an antibody selected from huAb1 to huAb16 and/or a light chain variable region of an antibody selected from huAb1 to huAb16.

In some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises a light chain comprising a variable region sequence that is at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 10, 12, 14, and 46 to 52, wherein the antibody binds CSF1R. In some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising a variable region sequence that is at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 9, 11, 13, and 39 to 45; and a light chain comprising a variable region sequence that is at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 10, 12, 14, and 46 to 52; wherein the antibody binds CSF1R.
- As used herein, whether a particular polypeptide is, for example, at least 95% identical to an amino acid sequence can be determined using, e.g., a computer program. When determining whether a particular sequence is, for example, 95% identical to a reference sequence, the percentage of identity is calculated over the full length of the reference amino acid sequence.
- In some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one of the CDRs discussed herein. That is, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one CDR selected from a heavy chain CDR1 discussed herein, a heavy chain CDR2 discussed herein, a heavy chain CDR3 discussed herein, a light chain CDR1 discussed herein, a light chain CDR2 discussed herein, and a light chain CDR3 discussed herein. Further, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one mutated CDR based on a CDR discussed herein, wherein the mutated CDR comprises 1, 2, 3, or 4 amino acid substitutions relative to the CDR discussed herein. In some embodiments, one or more of the amino acid substitutions are conservative amino acid substitutions. One skilled in the art can select one or more suitable conservative amino acid substitutions for a particular CDR sequence, wherein the suitable conservative amino acid substitutions are not predicted to significantly alter the binding properties of the antibody comprising the mutated CDR.
- Exemplary humanized anti-CSF1R antibodies also include antibodies that compete for binding to CSF1R with an antibody described herein. Thus, in some embodiments, a humanized anti-CSF1R antibody is provided that competes for binding to CSF1R with an antibody selected from
Fabs 0301, 0302, and 0311; and bivalent (i.e., having two heavy chains and two light chains) antibody versions of those Fabs. - Exemplary Humanized Antibody Constant Regions
- In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises one or more human constant regions. In some embodiments, the human heavy chain constant region is of an isotype selected from IgA, IgG, and IgD. In some embodiments, the human light chain constant region is of an isotype selected from κ and λ. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG constant region. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG4 heavy chain constant region. In some such embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises an S241P mutation in the human IgG4 constant region. In some embodiments, a humanized antibody described herein comprises a human IgG4 constant region and a human κ light chain.
- The choice of heavy chain constant region can determine whether or not an antibody will have effector function in vivo. Such effector function, in some embodiments, includes antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), and can result in killing of the cell to which the antibody is bound. In some methods of treatment, including methods of treating some cancers, cell killing may be desirable, for example, when the antibody binds to a cell that supports the maintenance or growth of the tumor. Exemplary cells that may support the maintenance or growth of a tumor include, but are not limited to, tumor cells themselves, cells that aid in the recruitment of vasculature to the tumor, and cells that provide ligands, growth factors, or counter-receptors that support or promote tumor growth or tumor survival. In some embodiments, when effector function is desirable, an anti-CSF1R antibody comprising a human IgG1 heavy chain or a human IgG3 heavy chain is selected.
- In some methods of treatment, effector function may not be desirable. For example, in some embodiments, it may be desirable that antibodies used in the treatment of RA do not have effector function. Thus, in some embodiments, anti-CSF1R antibodies developed for the treatment of cancer may not be suitable for use in treatment of RA. Accordingly, in some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody that lacks significant effector function is used in treatment of RA. In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody for treatment of RA comprises a human IgG4 or IgG2 heavy chain constant region. In some embodiments, an IgG4 constant region comprises an S241P mutation.
- An antibody may be humanized by any method. Nonlimiting exemplary methods of humanization include methods described, e.g., in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,530,101; 5,585,089; 5,693,761; 5,693,762; 6,180,370; Jones et al., Nature 321: 522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332: 323-27 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239: 1534-36 (1988); and U.S. Publication No. US 2009/0136500.
- As noted above, a humanized antibody is an antibody in which at least one amino acid in a framework region of a non-human variable region has been replaced with the amino acid from the corresponding location in a human framework region. In some embodiments, at least two, at least three, at least four, at least five, at least six, at least seven, at least eight, at least nine, at least 10, at least 11, at least 12, at least 15, or at least 20 amino acids in the framework regions of a non-human variable region are replaced with an amino acid from one or more corresponding locations in one or more human framework regions.
- In some embodiments, some of the corresponding human amino acids used for substitution are from the framework regions of different human immunoglobulin genes. That is, in some such embodiments, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a first human antibody or encoded by a first human immunoglobulin gene, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a second human antibody or encoded by a second human immunoglobulin gene, one or more of the non-human amino acids may be replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human framework region of a third human antibody or encoded by a third human immunoglobulin gene, etc. Further, in some embodiments, all of the corresponding human amino acids being used for substitution in a single framework region, for example, FR2, need not be from the same human framework. In some embodiments, however, all of the corresponding human amino acids being used for substitution are from the same human antibody or encoded by the same human immunoglobulin gene.
- In some embodiments, an antibody is humanized by replacing one or more entire framework regions with corresponding human framework regions. In some embodiments, a human framework region is selected that has the highest level of homology to the non-human framework region being replaced. In some embodiments, such a humanized antibody is a CDR-grafted antibody.
- In some embodiments, following CDR-grafting, one or more framework amino acids are changed back to the corresponding amino acid in a mouse framework region. Such “back mutations” are made, in some embodiments, to retain one or more mouse framework amino acids that appear to contribute to the structure of one or more of the CDRs and/or that may be involved in antigen contacts and/or appear to be involved in the overall structural integrity of the antibody. In some embodiments, ten or fewer, nine or fewer, eight or fewer, seven or fewer, six or fewer, five or fewer, four or fewer, three or fewer, two or fewer, one, or zero back mutations are made to the framework regions of an antibody following CDR grafting.
- In some embodiments, a humanized antibody also comprises a human heavy chain constant region and/or a human light chain constant region.
- Exemplary Chimeric Antibodies
- In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody is a chimeric antibody. In some embodiments, an anti-CSF1R antibody comprises at least one non-human variable region and at least one human constant region.

In some embodiments, one or more variable regions of a chimeric antibody are mouse variable regions. The human constant region of a chimeric antibody need not be of the same isotype as the non-human constant region, if any, it replaces. Chimeric antibodies are discussed, e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81: 6851-55 (1984).

- In some embodiments, bone resorption may be measured by determining the level of CTx and/or TRAP5b in plasma from the subject, wherein an elevated level of CTx and/or TRAP5b indicates elevated bone resorption in the subject. Thus, in some embodiments, a reduced level of CTx and/or TRAP5b indicates a reduction in bone resorption. CTx and/or TRAP5b levels may be determined, in certain instances, before and after treatment with an antibody that binds CSF1R, and/or may be determined periodically throughout the course of treatment to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment in reducing bone loss. CTx and/or TRAP5b levels may be determined using any method in the art, including, but not limited to, ELISA (including FAICEA, or fragments absorbed immunocapture enzymatic assay; see, e.g., Quidel® TRAP5b assay, TECOmedical Group, Sissach, Switzerland). In some embodiments, administration of an antibody that binds CSF1R and blocks CSF1 and IL-34 ligand binding, such as huAb1, reduces at least one marker of bone resorption, such as, for example, CTx and/or TRAP5b. In some embodiments, the serum level of a marker of bone resorption is reduced by at elast 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, or at least 75%. In some embodiments, the reduction in the serum level of a marker of bone resorption lasts for at least one week, at least two weeks, at least three weeks, at least four weeks, at least five weeks, at least 6 weeks, at least seven weeks, or at least eight weeks folloing administration of a dose of the antibody.
- Routes of Administration and Carriers
- In various embodiments, anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered in vivo by various routes, including, but not limited to, oral, intra-arterial, parenteral, intranasal, intramuscular, intracardiac, intraventricular, intratracheal, buccal, rectal, intraperitoneal, intradermal, topical, transdermal, and intrathecal, or otherwise by implantation or inhalation. The subject compositions may be formulated into preparations in solid, semi-solid, liquid, or gaseous forms; including, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, powders, granules, ointments, solutions, suppositories, enemas, injections, inhalants, and aerosols. A nucleic acid molecule encoding an anti-CSF1R antibody may be coated onto gold microparticles and delivered intradermally by a particle bombardment device, or “gene gun,” as described in the literature (see, e.g., Tang et al., Nature 356:152-154 (1992)). The appropriate formulation and route of administration may be selected according to the intended application.
- In various embodiments, compositions comprising anti-CSF1R antibodies are provided in formulations with a wide variety of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (see, e.g., Gennaro, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy with Facts and Comparisons: Drugfacts Plus, 20th ed. (2003); Ansel et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, 7th ed., Lippencott Williams and Wilkins (2004); Kibbe et al., Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 3rd ed., Pharmaceutical Press (2000)). Various pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, which include vehicles, adjuvants, and diluents, are available. Moreover, various pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances, such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, tonicity adjusting agents, stabilizers, wetting agents and the like, are also available. Non-limiting exemplary carriers include saline, buffered saline, dextrose, water, glycerol, ethanol, and combinations thereof.
- In various embodiments, compositions comprising anti-CSF1R antibodies may be formulated for injection, including subcutaneous administration, by dissolving, suspending, or emulsifying them in an aqueous or nonaqueous solvent, such as vegetable or other oils, synthetic aliphatic acid glycerides, esters of higher aliphatic acids, or propylene glycol; and if desired, with conventional additives such as solubilizers, isotonic agents, suspending agents, emulsifying agents, stabilizers and preservatives. In various embodiments, the compositions may be formulated for inhalation, for example, using pressurized acceptable propellants such as dichlorodifluoromethane, propane, nitrogen, and the like. The compositions may also be formulated, in various embodiments, into sustained release microcapsules, such as with biodegradable or non-biodegradable polymers. A non-limiting exemplary biodegradable formulation includes poly lactic acid-glycolic acid polymer. A non-limiting exemplary non-biodegradable formulation includes a polyglycerin fatty acid ester. Certain methods of making such formulations are described, for example, in
EP 1 125 584 A1. - Pharmaceutical packs and kits comprising one or more containers, each containing one or more doses of an anti-CSF1R antibody are also provided. In some embodiments, a unit dosage is provided wherein the unit dosage contains a predetermined amount of a composition comprising an anti-CSF1R antibody, with or without one or more additional agents. In some embodiments, such a unit dosage is supplied in single-use prefilled syringe for injection. In various embodiments, the composition contained in the unit dosage may comprise saline, sucrose, or the like; a buffer, such as phosphate, or the like; and/or be formulated within a stable and effective pH range. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the composition may be provided as a lyophilized powder that may be reconstituted upon addition of an appropriate liquid, for example, sterile water. In some embodiments, the composition comprises one or more substances that inhibit protein aggregation, including, but not limited to, sucrose and arginine. In some embodiments, a composition of the invention comprises heparin and/or a proteoglycan.
- Pharmaceutical compositions are administered in an amount effective for treatment or prophylaxis of the specific indication. The therapeutically effective amount is typically dependent on the weight of the subject being treated, his or her physical or health condition, the extensiveness of the condition to be treated, or the age of the subject being treated. In general, anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 10 μg/kg body weight to about 100 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 50 μg/kg body weight to about 5 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 100 μg/kg body weight to about 10 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 100 μg/kg body weight to about 20 mg/kg body weight per dose. In some embodiments, anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered in an amount in the range of about 0.5 mg/kg body weight to about 20 mg/kg body weight per dose.
- The anti-CSF1R antibody compositions may be administered as needed to subjects. Determination of the frequency of administration may be made by persons skilled in the art, such as an attending physician based on considerations of the condition being treated, age of the subject being treated, severity of the condition being treated, general state of health of the subject being treated and the like. In some embodiments, an effective dose of an anti-CSF1R antibody is administered to a subject one or more times. In various embodiments, an effective dose of an anti-CSF1R antibody is administered to the subject once per two weeks, once per three weeks, once per four weeks, once per month, once per five weeks, once per six weeks, once per seven weeks, once per two months, once per three months, four times per year, or less often. An effective dose of an anti-CSF1R antibody is administered to the subject at least once. In some embodiments, the effective dose of an anti-CSF1R antibody may be administered multiple times, including for periods of at least a month, at least six months, or at least a year.
- Combination Therapy
- Anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered alone or with other modes of treatment. They may be provided before, substantially contemporaneous with, or after other modes of treatment, for example, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or the administration of a biologic, such as another therapeutic antibody. For treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, anti-CSF1R antibodies may be administered with other therapeutic agents, for example, methotrexate, anti-TNF agents such as Remicade (infliximab), Humira (adalimumab), Simponi (golimumab), and Enbrel (etanercept); glucocorticoids such as prednisone; leflunomide; azothioprine; JAK inhibitors such as CP 590690; SYK inhibitors such as R788; anti-IL-6 antibodies; anti-IL-6R antibodies such as tocilizumab; anti-CD-20 antibodies such as rituximab; anti-CD19 antibodies; anti-GM-CSF antibodies; anti-GM-CSF-R antibodies; IL-1 receptor antagonists such as anakinra; CTLA-4 antagonists, such as abatacept; immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine.

See, e.g., PCT Publication No. WO 2011/140249. The antibodies were found to bind to both human and cynomolgus monkey CSF1R ECD, but not to mouse CSF1R ECD. The humanized antibodies were also found to block binding of CSF1 and IL-34 to both human and mouse CSF1R and to inhibit CSF1-induced and IL-34-induced phosphorylation of human CSF1R expressed in CHO cells. See, e.g., PCT Publication No. WO 2011/140249.
- The ka, kd, and KD for binding to human CSF1R ECD were previously determined and are shown in Table 4. See, e.g., PCT Publication No. WO 2011/140249.

The dose range studied was 3-150 mg/kg after a single dose and 3-150 mg/kg after repeat doses. The duration of infusion was 30 minutes. The dosing interval in the repeat-dose studies was once a week with each animal receiving a total of 4 doses.
- The PK profile following a single 30-minute IV infusion of huAb1 in cynomolgus monkeys was characterized by a rapid distribution, followed by a slower terminal phase that ended with an accelerated depletion of huAb1 from the plasma, consistent with target-mediated clearance.
- The rapid decrease may be due in part to anti-huAb1 antibodies in addition to target-mediated clearance. However, a single dose administration of a similar chimeric anti-CSF1R antibody in SCID mice, which lack the ability to mount an ADA response, showed a similar profile. The observed maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) occurred at the end of infusion for the lower dose groups and 0.5-1 hour after the end of infusion for the 150 mg/kg dose group. The half-life (t1/2) prior to the accelerated terminal decline ranged from 1-12 days. Cmax and AUC∞ increased with increasing dose, and Cmax increased proportionally to dose at all dose levels tested. AUC∞ increases were greater than dose proportional from 3 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg and were dose proportional from 10 mg/kg to 150 mg/kg.
- HuAb1 or placebo was formulated at a concentration of 20 mg/ml in a pH 6.3 buffer containing 20 mM L-histidine, 142 mM L-arginine, and 0.01
% polysorbate 20. Adult heathy volunteer subjects were randomized to each dose cohort (8 subjects per cohort; 6 received drug and 2 received placebo). The dose cohorts were a single dose of 0.2 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg huAb1 or placebo. HuAb1 or placebo was administered by IV infusion over 30 minutes, followed by an observation period. Subjects were confined for 72 hours after their study drug administration to undergo assessments and to ensure compliance with the protocol-specific guidance around restriction of alcohol and strenuous exercise. - The start of infusion was considered time-zero. Blood samples were collected for determination of serum concentrations of huAb1 at the following time points relative to the start of infusion:
- t=0 hour (h) (may be collected up to 60 minutes pre-dose),
- t=25 (25 minutes after the start of infusion), t=30 minutes (end of infusion),
- t=35 minutes (35 minutes from beginning of infusion, which is equivalent to 5 minutes from the end of infusion),
- t=45 (45 minutes from beginning of infusion, equivalent to 15 minutes from the end of infusion),
- t=60 (60 minutes from beginning of infusion, equivalent to 30 minutes from the end of infusion).
- Thereafter, collections occurred relative to beginning of infusion at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, and 72 h, then on
Study Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 57 and 85. - The mean serum concentration of huAb1 in the subjects was determined by ELISA as follows. Samples were diluted a minimum 1:30 into assay diluent (PBS containing 1% bovine gamma globulin, 0.3M NaCl, and 0.05% Tween20). Human CSF1R-Fc (fusion protein of human CSF1 receptor extracellular domain to a human IgG1 Fc) was coated onto ELISA plates. HuAb1 from a frozen serum sample was captured onto the plates and detected using a horse radish peroxidase-conjugated mouse anti-human IgG4 antibody, using standard methods. The results of that analysis are shown in
FIG. 3 .FIG. 3A shows a log plot of serum huAb1 versus time in weeks.FIG. 3B shows a linear plot of the same data. These data suggest that huAb1 will be cleared from subjects in the 10 mg/kg cohort after 13 weeks. The non-linear PK profile is consistent with target-mediated clearance. Table 5 shows the calculated clearance (CL) and half-life of huAb1 at each dose. Values are mean±standard deviation in 6 subjects. -
TABLE 5 Clearance (CL) and half-life of huAb1 in human subjects Dose (mg/kg) CL (mL/h/kg) t½ (h) t½ (d) 0.2 1.62 ± 0.21 12.5 ± 1.3 0.5 ± 0.1 1 0.49 ± 0.10 56.8 ± 11.4 2.4 ± 0.5 3 0.18 ± 0.01 129.8 ± 32.7 5.4 ± 1.4 10 0.11 ± 0.02 490.2 ± 59.4* 20.4 ± 2.5* *first order elimination half-life prior to accelerated terminal clearance - The pharmacokinetics observed in humans were substantially and unexpectedly different from the pharmacokinetics observed in cynomolgus monkeys. As shown in
FIG. 4 , clearance of huAb1 in human was much slower than clearance in cynomolgus monkeys. - Administration of huAb1 has been shown to cause a dramatic increase in the CSF1R ligand, CSF1 and IL-34. That increase was used to categorize the blinded samples into likely huAb1 cohorts and likely placebo cohorts by determining the level of CSF1 and/or IL-34 in serum from the subjects, using commercial ELISAs (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn.). See
FIG. 9 . After the samples were divided into their likely cohorts, serum CTx were measured to determine whether huAb1 was effective to suppress this marker of bone resorption. Serum CTx was also measured using a commercial ELISA (IDS Serum CrossLaps ELISA). Serum samples were previously frozen. - The results of that experiment are shown in
FIG. 5 . InFIG. 5A , which are the CSF1 low subjects, and therefore the likely placebo cohorts, serum CTx levels are substantially unchanged at the three doses indicated (n=2 in that figure means there were 2 subjects per cohort). InFIG. 5B , which are the CSF1 high subjects, and therefore the likely huAb1 cohorts, serum CTx levels were suppressed in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that huAb1 may suppress bone resorption (n=6 in that figure means there were 6 subjects per cohort). - Serum TRAP5b levels were also measured to determine whether huAb1 was effective to suppress TRAP5b levels, also a marker of bone resorption. Serum TRAP5b was measured using a commercial ELISA (MicroVue Bone Health Trap5b Assay, REF 8033, Quidel). Serum samples were previously frozen. The results of that experiment are shown in
FIG. 6 . InFIG. 6A , which are the CSF1 low subjects, and therefore the likely placebo cohorts, serum TRAP5b levels are substantially unchanged at the three doses indicated (n=2 in that figure means there were 2 subjects per cohort). InFIG. 6B , which are the CSF1 high subjects, and therefore the likely huAb1 cohorts, serum TRAP5b levels trended lower, suggesting that huAb1 may suppress this marker of bone resorption (n=6 in that figure means there were 6 subjects per cohort). - HuAb1 was previously demonstrated to suppress CD16+ monocyte levels in cynomolgus monkeys, while leaving CD16− monocyte levels substantially unchanged. CD16+ monocyte levels were determined in each of the eight subjects per dose level (6 subjects receiving huAb1 and 2 subjects receiving placebo) by flow cytometry as follows. Whole blood was collected into Cyto-Chex® blood collection tubes (Streck) and analyzed within 48 hours of collection. 75 μL of blood was stained with anti-CD45, anti-CD14, anti-CD16 (all BD Biosciences) and anti-HLA-DR (R&D Systems) monoclonal antibodies. AccuCheck® Counting Beads (Life Technologies) were added for determination of absolute numbers of cells. Samples were run on a FACSCanto™ II (BD Biosciences) and analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc.). Monocytes identified as CD45+HLA-DR+SSCintTD14+ cells were subdivided into 3 monocyte subsets identified as classical (CD14++CD16−), intermediate (CD14++CD16+), and nonclassical (CD14+CD16++) and enumerated per μL of blood.
- The results of that experiment are shown in
FIG. 7 . Substantially reduced nonclassical CD16+ monocyte levels were observed for varying amounts of time in each cohort. At 0.2 mg/kg, nonclassical CD16+ monocyte levels were reduced in the six likely huAb1 subjects for less than one week. At 1 mg/kg, nonclassical CD16+ monocyte levels were reduced in the six likely huAb1 subjects for at least one week. At 3 mg/kg, nonclassical CD16+ monocyte levels were reduced in the six likely huAb1 subjects for at least four weeks. Finally, at 10 mg/kg, nonclassical CD16+ monocyte levels were reduced in the six likely huAb1 subjects for the eight week period of the study. These results suggest that infrequent dosing of huAb1 may exert long-lasting suppression of CD16+ monocytes. Similar reductions in intermediate CD16+ monocytes were also noted (data not shown). - Classical CD16− monocytes levels were also determined. As shown in
FIG. 8 , changes in CD16− monocyte levels did not differ between the six likely huAb1 subjects and the likely placebo subjects at all dosing levels. - HuAb1 was formulated at a concentration of 20 mg/ml in a pH 6.3 buffer containing 20 mM L-histidine, 142 mM L-arginine, and 0.01
% polysorbate 20. Two adult heathy volunteers and three RA patients received two doses of 3 mg/kg huAb1, 14 days apart. HuAb1 was administered by intravenous infusion over 30 minutes, followed by an observation period. The start of infusion was considered time zero. - The serum concentration of huAb1 in the healthy volunteers was determined by ELISA as described under [0190]. The same assay was used to measure serum concentration of huAb1 in RA patients using a different coating agent. The coating agent for samples from RA patients, human CSF1R-Fc protein, was human CSF1 receptor extracellular domain fused to a mouse IgG1 Fc. The results of the analysis from both healthy volunteers and RA patients are shown in
FIG. 10 . Open circle and solid triangle represent data from healthy volunteers and RA patients, respectively. Dashed line and solid line are for group mean for healthy volunteers and RA patients, respectively. Data below lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was considered as zero for the purpose of calculation of group mean for graphic presentation. HuAb1 serum concentration in the 3 mg/kg dual dose cohort was measurable up to approximately 12 weeks for healthy volunteers, and was measurable up to, and possibly longer than, 8 weeks for RA patients (based on the data point measured to date) following first dose administration. - CD16+ monocyte levels were determined in each of two healthy volunteers who received two doses of huAb1 at 3 mg/kg, 14 days apart. CD16+ monocyte levels were also determined in each of the three RA patients who received two doses of huAb1 at 3 mg/kg, 14 days apart. Whole blood was collected into Cyto-Chex® blood collection tubes and analyzed as described in Example 4.
- The results of the experiment are shown in
FIGS. 11 and 12 . In healthy volunteers, substantially reduced nonclassical CD16+ monocyte levels were observed up to 6 weeks after the first dose of huAb1 (“FPA008”). SeeFIG. 11 . In RA patients, substantially reduced nonclassical CD16+ monocyte levels were observed up to 2 weeks after the first dose of huAb1. SeeFIG. 12 . - Table 6 provides certain sequences discussed herein. All polypeptide and antibody sequences are shown without leader sequences, unless otherwise indicated.
