Definitions

  • MS Multiple sclerosis
  • CNS central nervous system
  • RRMS relapsing-remitting
  • SP secondary progressive
  • PP primary progressive
  • MS is the most common cause of chronic neurological disability in young adults. (3,4) Anderson et al . estimated that there were about 350,000 physician-diagnosed patients with MS in the United States in 1990 (approx. 140 per 100, 000 population) . (5) It is estimated that about 2.5 million individuals are affected worldwide. (6) In general, there has been a trend toward an increasing prevalence and incidence of MS worldwide, but the reasons for this trend are not fully understood. (5)
  • RR- MS Several medications have been approved and clinically ascertained as efficacious for the treatment of RR- MS; including BETASERON®, AVONEX® and REBIF®, which are derivatives of the cytokine interferon beta (IFNB), whose mechanism of action in MS is generally attributed to its immunomodulatory effects, antagonizing pro-inflammatory reactions and inducing suppressor cells.
  • BETASERON®, AVONEX® and REBIF® which are derivatives of the cytokine interferon beta (IFNB), whose mechanism of action in MS is generally attributed to its immunomodulatory effects, antagonizing pro-inflammatory reactions and inducing suppressor cells.
  • IFNB cytokine interferon beta
  • Other approved drugs for the treatment of MS include Mitoxantrone and Natalizumab.
  • Glatiramer acetate is the active substance in Copaxone®, a marketed product indicated for reduction of the frequency of relapses in patients with RRMS . Its effectiveness in reducing relapse rate and disability accumulation in RR-MS is comparable to that of other available immunomodulating treatments .
  • Glatiramer acetate consists of the acetate salts of synthetic polypeptides containing four naturally occurring amino acids: L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, L-tyrosine and L-lysine. The average molecular weight of glatiramer acetate is between 5,000 and 9,000 Daltons. At a daily standard dose of 20 mg, GA is generally well tolerated, however response to the drug is variable.
  • GA reduced relapse rates and progression of disability in patients with RR-MS.
  • the therapeutic effect of GA is supported by the results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings from various clinical centers (11), however there are no validated predictive biomarkers of response to GA treatment .
  • MRI magnetic resonance imaging
  • a possible initial mode of action of GA is associated with binding to MHC molecules and consequent competition with various myelin antigens for their presentation to T cells.
  • a further aspect of its mode of action is the potent induction of T helper 2 (Th2) type cells that presumably can migrate to the brain and lead to in situ bystander suppression.
  • Th2 T helper 2
  • GA 20 mg has also demonstrated beneficial effects over placebo on MRI parameters relevant to RRMS.
  • the clinical program with GA also includes one double-blind study in chronic-progressive MS subjects, (21) one double-blind placebo-controlled study in primary progressive patients, (22) one double-blind placebo-controlled study in CIS patients (23) and numerous open-label and compassionate use studies, mostly in RRMS.
  • the clinical use of GA has been extensively reviewed and published in the current literature (24,25,26,27) .
  • This invention provides a method for treating a human subject afflicted with multiple sclerosis or a single clinical attack consistent with multiple sclerosis with a pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, comprising the steps of determining whether the human subject is a glatiramer acetate responder by evaluating a biomarker selected from the group consisting of IL- 17 concentration, TNF- concentration, IL-2 concentration and IFN- ⁇ concentration, or a combination thereof, in the blood of the human subject and administering the pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the human subject only if the human subject is identified as a glatiramer acetate responder.

  • the biomarker is IL-2 concentration.
  • an IL-2 concentration greater than or equal to 30000pg/ml is associated with a human subject identified as a glatiramer acetate responder.
  • the human subject is a naive patient.
  • the human subject has been previously administered a multiple sclerosis drug other than glatiramer acetate.
  • the previously administered multiple sclerosis drug is selected from Interferon, Mitoxantrone and Natalizumab.
  • MS MS
  • RRMS relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
  • SPMS secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
  • Benign multiple sclerosis is a retrospective diagnosis which is characterized by 1-2 exacerbations with complete recovery, no lasting disability and no disease progression for 10-15 years after the initial onset. Benign multiple sclerosis may, however, progress into other forms of multiple sclerosis.
  • SPMS may evolve from RRMS. Patients afflicted with SPMS have relapses, a diminishing degree of recovery during remissions, less frequent remissions and more pronounced neurological deficits than RRMS patients. Enlarged ventricles, which are markers for atrophy of the corpus callosum, midline center and spinal cord, are visible on MRI of patients with SPMS.
  • PPMS is characterized by a steady progression of increasing neurological deficits without distinct attacks or remissions. Cerebral lesions, diffuse spinal cord damage and evidence of axonal loss are evident on the MRI of patients with PPMS. PPMS has periods of acute exacerbations while proceeding along a course of increasing neurological deficits without remissions. Lesions are evident on MRI of patients suffering from PRMS. (28)
  • a clinically isolated syndrome is a single monosymptomatic attack compatible with MS, such as optic neuritis, brain stem symptoms, and partial myelitis.
  • Patients with CIS that experience a second clinical attack are generally considered to have clinically definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS) .
  • CDMS clinically definite multiple sclerosis
  • Patients who experience a single clinical attack consistent with MS may have at least one lesion consistent with multiple sclerosis prior to the development of clinically definite multiple sclerosis .
  • Multiple sclerosis may present with optic neuritis, blurring of vision, diplopia, involuntary rapid eye movement, blindness, loss of balance, tremors, ataxia, vertigo, clumsiness of a limb, lack of co-ordination, weakness of one or more extremity, altered muscle tone, muscle stiffness, spasms, tingling, paraesthesia, burning sensations, muscle pains, facial pain, trigeminal neuralgia, stabbing sharp pains, burning tingling pain, slowing of speech, slurring of words, changes in rhythm of speech, dysphagia, fatigue, bladder problems (including urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying and incontinence) , bowel problems (including constipation and loss of bowel control) , impotence, diminished sexual arousal, loss of sensation, sensitivity to heat, loss of short term memory, loss of concentration, or loss of judgment or reasoning.
  • relapsing MS includes:
  • relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis include: Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) , characterized by unpredictable acute episodes of neurological dysfunction (relapses) , followed by variable recovery and periods of clinical stability; Secondary Progressive MS_ (SPMS) , wherein patients having RRMS develop sustained deterioration with or without relapses superimposed; and
  • RRMS Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
  • SPMS Secondary Progressive MS_
  • PRMS Primary progressive-relapsing multiple sclerosis
  • PRMS progressive-relapsing multiple sclerosis
  • EDSS Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale
  • the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale is a method of quantifying disability in multiple sclerosis.
  • the EDSS replaced the previous Disability Status Scales which used to bunch people with MS in the lower brackets.
  • the EDSS quantifies disability in eight Functional Systems (FS) and allows neurologists to assign a Functional System Score (FSS) in each of these.
  • the Functional Systems are: pyramidal, cerebellar, brainstem, sensory, bowel and bladder, visual & cerebral (according to www.mult-sclerosis.org/expandeddisabil itystatusscale) .
  • a clinical relapse which may also be used herein as “relapse,” “confirmed relapse,” or “clinically defined relapse,” is defined as the appearance of one or more new neurological abnormalities or the reappearance of one or more previously observed neurological abnormalities.
  • This change in clinical state must last at least 48 hours and be immediately preceded by a relatively stable or improving neurological state of at least 30 days. This criterion is different from the clinical definition of exacerbation "at least 24 hours duration of symptoms," (31) as detailed in the section “relapse evalution.”
  • An event is counted as a relapse only when the subject's symptoms are accompanied by observed objective neurological changes, consistent with:
  • the subject must not be undergoing any acute metabolic changes such as fever or other medical abnormality.
  • a change in bowel/bladder function or in cognitive function must not be entirely responsible for the changes in EDSS or FS scores.
  • the "supernatant” refers to supernatants collected from Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) purified from subject blood samples, and stimulated as described in the methods hereinbelow.
  • the stimulation may be performed in either freshly isolated PBMCs or in cryopreserved cells after thawing.
  • concentration observed at a certain time- point refers to a concentration measured in the supernatant of PBMC derived from the subject's blood at that certain time point. The concentration may be measured in freshly isolated cells or in cryopreserved cells after thawing.
  • pretreatment refers to any time point after diagnosis with MS or CIS and before beginning of treatment with a composition comprising GA.
  • a “multiple sclerosis drug” is a drug or an agent intended to treat clinically defined MS, CIS, any form of neurodegenerative or demyelinating diseases, or symptoms of any of the above mentioned diseases.
  • Multiple sclerosis drugs may include but are not limited to antibodies, immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory agents, immunomodulators , cytokines, cytotoxic agents and steroids and may include approved drugs, drugs in clinical trial, or alternative treatments, intended to treat clinically defined MS, CIS or any form of neurodegenerative or demyelinating diseases.
  • Multiple sclerosis drugs include but are not limited to Interferon and its derivatives (including BETASERON®, AVONEX® and REBIF®) , Mitoxantrone and Natalizumab.
  • Agents approved or in-trial for the treatment of other autoimmune diseases, but used in a MS or CIS patient to treat MS or CIS are also defined as multiple sclerosis drugs.
  • a "naive patient” is a subject that has not been treated with any multiple sclerosis drugs as defined in the former paragraph.
  • PBMCs Peripheral blood mononuclear cells
  • PBMCs Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
  • a clinical relapse was defined as the appearance of one or more new neurological abnormalities or the reappearance of one or more previously observed neurological abnormalities.
  • the subject was not undergoing any acute metabolic changes such as fever or other medical abnormality.
  • a change in bowel/bladder function or in cognitive function was not entirely responsible for the changes in EDSS or FS scores.
  • a complete neurological assessment was performed at months -1 (screening) , 0 (baseline) , 3, 6, 9, 12 (end of double-blind phase), 18 and 24 (termination/early discontinuation) .
  • the decision as to whether the neurological change was considered a confirmed relapse was made by the Treating Physician, based on EDSS/FS actual (not converted) scores assessed by the Examining Neurologist.
  • the Examining Neurologist evaluated the subject within 7 days of symptoms onset, conditional upon a symptomatic period of ⁇ 48 hours.
  • the Treating Neurologist /Physician evaluated the subject once any symptom suggestive of a relapse occurred.
  • Treating Neurologist/Physician referred the subject to the Examining eurologist/Physician .
  • PBMC peripheral blood mononuclear cells
  • IL-17 (A) increased levels of IL-17 (A) , IL-2, TNFa, and IFNy at baseline and 2 months after the beginning of treatment with GA, in those individuals who were without clinically defined relapses in the one year trial period post initiation of treatment.
  • substantially lower levels of these same pro-inflammatory cytokines were found in those who had clinically defined relapses during the trial period as shown in Fig 1.
  • Ex vivo assays have been used to monitor the immunological effects of GA in GA-treated MS patients. For example, Hohlfeld et al . reported: (1) a significant reduction of GA-induced PBMC proliferation; (2) a positive IL-4 ELISPOT response mediated predominantly by CD4 cells after stimulation with GA; and (3) an elevated IFN-gamma response partially mediated by CD8 cells after stimulation with high GA concentrations, in GA-treated vs. untreated patients (33) . In the present study, a simple ex vivo assay was used to measure cytokine concentration in the supernatant of PBMCs derived from the blood of RRMS patients.
