Definitions
- the present application relates to combination treatments for influenza infections.
- the present application relates to the use of one or more neuraminidase inhibitors and one or more broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and compositions thereof for the prevention or treatment of influenza infections.
- bNAbs broadly-neutralizing antibodies
- Influenza A viruses cause 3-5 million serious illnesses and half a million deaths each year. Vaccination is the best way to prevent infection, but protection provided is narrow and ineffective against pandemic strains due to antigenic drift in the immunodominant hemagglutinin (HA) head domain of the influenza virus. HA is responsible for binding the influenza virus to sialic acid on host cells.
- Recently discovered broadly-neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that target the conserved HA stalk domain of the influenza virus provide great promise towards development of a“universal” influenza vaccine. These bNAbs require Fc receptor binding and effector cell function to confer maximal protection. The mechanism by which bNAbs protect against IAV propagation is incompletely understood.
- stalk-binding antibody-mediated interaction between the immune effector cell and the infected cell consists of two potential points of contact: between the antibody Fc region and Fc receptor on the immune effector cell, and between the HA head (expressed on the infected cell surface) and sialic acid residues on the Immune effector cell ( Figure 1 ).
- the cell membrane of the infected cell is also decorated with viral neuraminidase, which can cleave sialic acid residues from the effector cells.
- the immune interaction is less stable with one fewer point of contact resulting in decreased effector cell activation.
- Viral neuraminidases are neuraminidases (NA) found on the surface of influenza viruses that cleave sialic acid (neuramimic acid) groups from host cells, for example, host cell glycoproteins, and enables the virus to be released from the host cell.
- Viral neuraminidase can also cleave sialic acid groups on mucins to help viral particles penetrate the respiratory mucosa. Thus, cleavage of sialic groups allows influenza virus to replicate and spread.
- Neuraminidase inhibitors have been developed to block neuraminidase function as a method of treating influenza infection.
- Oseltamivir is a competitive neuraminidase inhibitor used in the treatment of acute uncomplicated influenza.
- Laninamivir is a neuraminidase inhibitor that is currently undergoing clinical trials.
- NA inhibitors for example, oseltamivir
- IAV influenza A virus
- a neuraminidase inhibitor such as oseltamavir enhances Fc- dependent effector functions elicited by bNAbs.
- the present application includes a method of treating or preventing an influenza infection in a subject in need thereof comprising administering, to the subject, an effective amount of one or more neuraminidase inhibitors, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug and/or solvate thereof, in combination with an effective amount of one or more broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) wherein the bNAbs bind to the stalk domain of hemagglutinin (HA) and the amount of the one or more bNAbs is an amount that when the bNAbs are administered alone does not treat or prevent the influenza infection.
- bNAbs broadly neutralizing antibodies
- the present application also includes a pharmaceutical composition
- a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and one or more neuraminidase inhibitors or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug and/or solvate thereof wherein the one or more neuraminidase inhibitors and bNAbs are present in amounts that are effective to treat an influenza infection or a disease, disorder or condition arising from an influenza infection and wherein the bNAbs bind to the stalk domain of hemagglutinin (HA) and the amount of the one or more bNAbs is an amount that when the bNAbs are administered alone does not treat or prevent the influenza infection.

- the one or more neuraminidase inhibitors are selected from oseltamivir, zanamivir, laninamivir and peramivir.
- the neuraminidase inhibitor is oseltamivir.
- Figure 1 is a schematic showing the stalk-binding antibodies facilitating the interaction between immune effector cells and infected cells via two points of contact.
- the stalk-binding antibody interacts with the HA stalk domain via its Fab portion and binds to the Fc receptor of the effector via its Fc portion (1 ).
- the HA head domain interacts with sialic acid residues on the effector cell (2). Although the sialic acid residues are depicted as a moiety on the Fc receptor on the effector cells, the actual location of the sialic acid residues that HA binds to in this context is not known.
- the lines represent enzymatic inhibition by neuraminidase on the HA head - sialic interaction, and the inhibition of oseltamivir on the neuraminidase enzymatic activity.
- Figure 2 shows exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor Oseltamivir decreases both neuraminidase activity and viral replication of H1 N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses.

Approximately 1x10 4 PFU of virus was required before NA activity was detectable by the assay.
- the NA activity was within in the linear range of the assay until approximately 1x10 6 PFU for all viruses.
- the oseltamivir acid susceptibility of these viruses using the same kit using 1x10 6 PFU of each strain (Fig. 2 second and third panel) was measured. All three viruses displayed similar levels of oseltamivir acid susceptibility as shown by the ICso values, with PR8 being the most susceptible and X-31 being the least susceptible. Viruses were incubated with exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir acid for 30 minutes at room temperature before measurements were taken. * p ⁇ 0.05, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test.
- Exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir acid decreased both neuraminidase activity and viral replication of H1 N1 and H3N2 influenza viruses linfluenza virus strains PR8, Cal/09, and X-31 were used. This experiment verified that oseltamivir carboxylate was indeed active against the neuraminidase proteins on influenza virus particles. It was also found that increasing concentrations of oseltamivir acid also inhibits the ability of influenza viruses to replicate in a dose-dependent manner in cell culture of A549 cells. That is, higher concentrations of oseltamivir acid induced appreciable decreases in viral replication.
- exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir acid induced the greatest decline in viral replication for X-31 , while PR8 and Cal/09 showed more modest declines in titer. Overall, it was shown that oseltamivir acid can be used as a chemical inhibitor of neuraminidase in subsequent experiments.
- Example 2 Broadly neutralizing antibodies bind infected cells
- Example 3 Neuraminidase inhibitor increases broadly-neutralizing antibody mediated ADCC of influenza virus infected A549 cells
- Figure 1 shows how stalk-binding antibodies facilitate the interaction between immune effector cells and infected cells via two points of contact .
- the stalk- binding antibody interacts with the HA stalk domain via its Fab portion, and binds to the Fc receptor of the effector via its Fc portion(1 ).
- the HA head domain interacts with sialic acid residues on the effector cell (2). Although the sialic acid residues are depicted as a moiety on the Fc receptor on the effector cells, the actual location of the sialic acid residues that HA binds to in this context is not known.
- A549 cells were infected with PR8, Cal/09, or X-31. As shown in Figure 4, ADCC of PR8, Cal/09, or X-31 infected A549 cells were measured using a luciferase-based system. A549 cells were seeded onto 96-well plates and infected 24 hours later with PR8, Cal/09, or X-31 at an MOI of 5.
- exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir acid OSLT
- 6F12 or 9H10 antibodies were added. Therefore, the infected cells were incubated with exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir acid and monoclonal stalk- binding antibodies 6F12 for cells infected with PR8 and Cal/09, and 9H10 for cells infected with X-31 .
- 6F12 is a Pan H1 stalk-binding antibody
- 9H10 is a group 2 HA stalk-binding antibody.
- Jurkat reporter cells were then added and incubated for 6 hours before luciferase activity was measured by ADCC ( Figure 4).
- exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir acid increased broadly-neutralizing antibody mediated ADCC of influenza virus infected A549 cells. Accordingly, it was found that exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir acid had a cooperative effect with broadly-neutralizing antibodies in causing ADCC of influenza virus infected cells. Increasing antibody concentrations with no exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir added ( ⁇ in Figure 4), there was increased fold induction of ADCC of our infected target (A549) cells. The fold induction was compared to cells that did not have antibody added to it.
- exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir Upon addition of exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir in various concentrations, it was found that the ADCC potency increased (decreased ECso) in PR8 and Cal/09 infected cells, and the efficacy (fold induction) increased in all three viruses tested. The increase in potency and efficacy was also dose-dependent on the amount of oseltamivir that was added. Therefore, it was found that exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir cooperates with broadly-neutralizing antibodies to facilitate ADCC of influenza virus infected cells.
- Example 4 Exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir in combination with broadly-neutralizing antibodies is superior at protecting against lethal influenza virus infections compared to using either therapeutic alone.
- exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate in combination with broadly-neutralizing antibodies was superior at protecting against lethal influenza virus infections in BALB/c mice compared to using either therapeutic alone.
- This experiment shows that the results from the previous in vitro ADCC experiments translates to better in vivo protection. It was demonstrated that the cooperative interaction between exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir and broadly-neutralizing antibodies in eliciting ADCC of influenza-virus infected cells resulted in better protection of mice that were infected with the same virus strain.
- mice that received both oseltamivir phosphate and 6F12 displayed fewer clinical signs (less weight loss and fewer reached endpoint) compared to mice that received only oseltamivir, only 6F12, or neither. Therefore, combining oseltamivir phosphate and broadly- neutralizing antibodies as a prophylaxis worked better than using either of the two therapeutics by themselves.
- Example 5 The cooperative effect of exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate and stalk-binding antibodies at preventing clinical signs of influenza virus infections is maintained in a polyclonal antibody context.
- Serum was first purified from peripheral blood of two healthy donors. ELISAs were then performed on the serum samples using a chimeric cH6/1 hemagglutinin protein, where the head domain is derived from A/Mallard/Sweden/81 /02 and the stalk domain is derived from A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 ( Figure 6A, B). The cH6/1 chimera was chosen to quantify antibodies that specifically bind to the group 1 stalk domain. A/Vietnam/1203/2004 HAIo (Viet/04), which is a low pathogenicity human H5N1 virus, was chosen for the downstream experiments.
- Viet/04 strain was chosen for its high pathogenicity in mice, relevance as a pandemic threat to humans, and the expected cross-reactivity of group 1 stalk-binding antibodies with the hemagglutinin stalk of Viet/04.
- T o ensure that the serum samples do not contain neutralizing antibodies that bind to the head domain of Viet/04
- a hemagglutinin inhibition assay was conducted( Figure 6C). Both serum samples exhibited undetectable levels of HA inhibition, indicating that both donors were naive to this virus.
- ADCC assays were then conducted, which showed that the serum sample with greater titer of stalk binding antibodies elicited stronger ADCC as determined using Jurkat reporter cells (Figure 6D).
- mice The protective effects of these serum samples against Viet/04 H5N1 challenge in Balb/c mice both alone and in combination with exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate was next assessed.
- Six groups of 6-8 week old BALB/c mice were first either administered 150ul of serum low in stalk-binding antibodies, 150ul of serum high in stalk-binding antibodies, or 150ul of PBS.
- the mice were then given either 10mg/kg exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate or PBS by oral gavage. Two hours after the treatments were given, the mice were infected with 5LDso of Viet/04 H5N1 (200PFU) intranasally.
- mice continued to receive either 10mg/kg exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate or PBS twice daily by oral gavage for 5 days.
- the mice were monitored for 14 days and sacrificed when they reached 80% of their initial body weight.
- the data is shown as two sets of graphs with shared negative control groups to separate mice that received serum low and high in stalk-binding antibodies ( Figure 7). All the mice that received either serum low or high in stalk-binding antibodies or exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate alone demonstrated significant weight loss and mortality, with 4/5 mice reaching endpoint before day 14 in most treatment groups.
- exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate When exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate was combined with serum containing low stalk antibody, the mortality of the mice improved to only 1/5 mice reaching endpoint by day 14. However, the morbidity of the mice remained similar to serum low or high in stalk-binding antibodies alone or exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate alone. Exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir phosphate combined with serum containing high stalk antibody showed the greatest improvement in morbidity and mortality. Importantly, this group displayed markedly improved mortality and morbidity with minimal weight loss compared to the other combination therapy group.
- Example 6 The cooperative effect of combining exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir and stalk-binding antibodies is preserved when used to treat acute influenza virus infections
- mice 6-8 week old BALB/c mice would be infected with 5LD50 of PR8 before starting treatment at various times post-infection (eg. 24, 48 , 72hpi).
- Various doses of bnAb would be tested (eg. 1 mg/kg, 5mg/kg, 10mg/kg) since administration post-infection is likely to require a higher dose to achieve protection than prophylactic treatment.
- Mice would be monitored for 14 days post-infection and sacrificed when weight dropped below 80% of pre- infection body weight.
- the combination of bnAb+NA would be deemed superior than either drug alone if it results in less morbidity (as measured by weight loss) or mortality.
- neuraminidase inhibitors such as oseltamivir and bnAbs surprisingly work in combination and synergistically to increase the potency of Fc-mediated effector function of immune cells (eg. ADCC mechanism), and not by working by their own distinct mechanisms alone.
- FIG. 1 This combined mechanism of action is consistent with the“2 point of contact” model of how bnAbs induce ADCC/Fc effector functions as shown in Figure 1.
- the neuraminidase inhibitors and bnAbs work cooperatively to stabilize HA:sialic acid interactions (which NA generally cleaves).
- the lines in Figure 1 represent enzymatic inhibition by neuraminidase on the HA head - sialic interaction, and the inhibition of exemplary neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir on the neuraminidase enzymatic activity.
