- CRS cytokine release syndrome
- Immunotherapy is a powerful therapeutic tool that stimulates the host immune response to prevent and/or treat disorders.
- Immunotherapy uses therapeutic factors such as drugs, agents or engineered cells to stimulate the host immune response against target disorder cells, such as for example, cancer cells.
- Immunotherapy factors include, but are not limited to, antibody therapies or chimeric antigen receptor-modified (CAR) T cell therapies. These therapies are typically administered systemically and have shown significant promise in treating disorders, for example many cancers.
- CAR chimeric antigen receptor-modified
- T-cell mediated therapies such as CAR T cell therapies
- TME hostile tumour micro environments
- TME hostile tumour micro environments
- solid tumours there is a strong metabolic and physical barrier in the TME, able to inhibit proliferation, activity and infiltration of the immunotherapy.
- the TME is known to provide essential signals for survival, growth and immune resistance of the tumour cells (for example, cell-adhesion mediated immune resistance). For this reason, the TME is immunosuppressive, which prevents effective anti-tumour immune responses.
- the TME contains multiple components and factors that can stop CAR T-cell function including physical barriers (e.g. dense extracellular matrix); dysfunctional epithelial cells; metabolic checkpoints (e.g. hypoxia and immunological barriers) and immunosuppressive molecules (Watanabe et ai, 2018, Front Immunol., 9(2486): 1 -12). Therefore, to target such tumours effectively, these multiple factors impacting efficacy must be simultaneously addressed. Accordingly, there remains a need for approaches to increase recruitment and activation of immune cells in the tumour site.
- immunotherapies in the clinic has also raised safety and efficacy concerns in connection with the treatment of some disorders. While immunotherapy harnesses the power of the host immune response, it is known that an uncontrolled inflammatory immune response can result in Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) which can result in a range of symptoms that lead to further illness and death, if left unchecked. For example, anti-leukaemia efficacy by CD19-specific CAR T cells in humans has been associated with CRS. It is also known that immunotherapy associated conditions correlate with the activity of several cell types, such as macrophages and monocytes, and the release of a variety of factors including cytokines.
- CRS Cytokine Release Syndrome
- Cytokines are known to play a key role in the inflammatory immune response and notably, the cytokine IL-6, is known to have pleiotropic roles in regulating immune cell function and inflammatory immune responses.
- a known therapeutic approach for the treatment of CRS involves a systemic approach that uses anti-IL-6 receptor antibodies or such antibodies with steroids.
- the anti-IL6 receptor antibody tocilizumab has been used to treat CRS.
- tocilizumab may control symptoms of CRS, it has low permeability of the blood brain barrier and fails to enhance the efficacy of the immunotherapy (Sciacca et ai, 2013, J Neuroinflammation, 10:29).

This schematic shows macrophages will interact with activated CAR T cells either via direct contact or T cell- derived cytokines, resulting in activation of macrophages that will secrete cytokines, which further activate the CAR T cells and recruit additional innate immune effectors exacerbating the inflammatory signals inducing CRS and neurotoxicity. CRS and neurotoxicity can be prevented by inhibiting CD38 to deplete macrophages expressing CD38.
- FIG. 5 Inhibition of CRS with CD38 inhibitor.

- CD38 (Uniprot ID: P28907) is a 46-kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein with a short N-terminal cytoplasmic tail (20-aa) and a long extracellular domain (256-aa), which is identified on the surface of several cells of the immune system.
- CD38 is also a signal transducing surface receptor and a component of a pathway leading to the production of adenosine in the tumour microenvironment, thus inducing local anergy.
- the natural ligands for CD38 are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+, the substrate for its ecto-enzyme activity (ADP-ribosyl cyclase), and CD31/PECAM. Binding of CD31/PECAM and CD38 induces tyrosine phosphorylation and downstream signaling events regulating proliferation and cytokine release in lymphocytes.
- the adenosine pathway participates in the creation of an immune-tolerant tumour microenvironment by regulating the functions of a diverse set of immune and inflammatory cells, such as macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, which are CD38 positive.
- the adenosine pathway also regulates cancer growth and dissemination by interfering with cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis and angiogenesis via adenosine receptors that are expressed on cancer cells and endothelial cells, respectively (Figure 1).
- CD38 may provide a functional block leading to decreased levels of adenosine in the tumour microenvironment which appear to contribute to general improvement in cancer immunotherapy and outcomes.
- the present invention therefore concerns exploitation of the complex biology of CD38 to therapeutically regulate the immune system in preparation for immunotherapy, as well as prevent, reduce and /or treat CRS associated with immunotherapy administration.
- CD38 function is associated with a wide range of metabolic disorders including for example, impaired immune response and ameliorating age-associated metabolic decline (Tarrago et al 2018., Cell Metab., 27(5): 1081 -1095).
- Therapeutic CD38 inhibitors currently available include small molecules, biologies and antibodies.
- two known CD38 inhibitors are Quercetin and Apigenin (a flavonoid apigenin) which both inhibit CD38 and promote an increase in intracellular NAD + levels (Escande et ai, 2013, Diabetes, 64(4): 1084-1093).
- CD38 inhibitor is the anti-CD38 antibody, daratumumab, which is currently a first-in-class treatment for relapsed / refractory (RR) multiple myeloma (MM).
- RR relapsed / refractory
- MM multiple myeloma
- Daratumumab (Darzalex), a human lgG1 -kappa monoclonal antibody, was the first naked CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb) to be developed for clinical use following demonstration of promising anti-myeloma activity in preclinical studies with cell lines and animal models. It has been approved to treat RR MM for patients who have received at least three prior lines of therapy (e.g. including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent) as an effective monotherapy (phase 2 SIRIUS trial).
- mAb CD38 monoclonal antibody
- Daratumumab targets CD38 expressing myeloma cells through complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and direct apoptosis with cross-linking of receptors. These mechanisms also target non-plasma cells that express CD38.
- daratumumab may exert indirectly on cells by allowing an increase in T helper cells, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, T cell function response and T-cell clonality ( Figure 2).
- the researchers identified a subpopulation of T cells (Tregs) that express CD38 at high levels, which showed a significant and immediate decline following a dose of daratumumab.
- daratumumab induces expansion of cytotoxic T cells, skewing the T cell repertoire, increasing the clonality of T cell receptors, and fostering improvement in the patient’s adaptive immune response (Figure 2).
- Isa formerly SAR650984, is also a humanised lgG1 -kappa anti-CD38 mAb and can preferentially block immunosuppressive Tregs and restore immune effector function against RR MM.
- Isa induced cell death in myeloma cell lines by ADCC, CDC, and ADCP as well as the induction of tumor cell death in a CD38- dependent manner. It is the latter activity which differentiates Isa from other therapeutic CD38 monoclonal antibodies because tumour cell death is directly induced by Isa in the absence of immune effector cells. It has similar half maximal effective concentrations (EC50 ⁇ 0.1 pg/mL) and maximal binding as daratumumab.
- phase III trials were launched in 2017. The first trial assessed the benefit of Isa in combination with bortezomib, Len and Dex versus bortezomib, Len and Dex in patients with newly diagnosed MM not eligible for transplant (IMROZ trial). The second trial assessed the benefit of Isa combined with carfilzomib and Dex versus carfilzomib with Dex in patients with RR MM previously treated with 1 to 3 prior lines (IKEMA). A Phase III trial to evaluate isatuximab plus pomalidomide/dexamethasone is planned.
- Mor202 is another example of a human anti-CD38 antibody. It has been reported to efficiently trigger ADCC and ADCP -mediated killing of CD38 positive multiple myeloma cell lines e.g., U266, as well as in vitro in a xenograft mouse model (Stevenson et al. , 2006). The antibody does not involve CDC, an additional immune mechanism involved in tumour cell killing. In addition, pre-clinical data point to low NK- cell depletion.
- CD38 monocloncal antibodies are equally potent at inducing ADCC against CD38-expressing tumor cells.
- Daratumumab has demonstrated superior induction of CDC in Daudi lymphoma cells as determined by flow cytometry, when compared with other CD38 antibodies in current clinical development.
- Isa more potently than daratumumab, inhibits ecto-enzyme function of CD38.
- Isa produced the largest inhibition of cyclic GDP-ribose (cGDPR) production, indicating a higher modulation of CD38 cyclase activity.
- cGDPR cyclic GDP-ribose

- “Monitoring the progression of the disorder” means to assess the symptoms associated with the disorder and/or immunotherapy treatment over time to determine if they are reducing/improving or increasing/worsening.
- the dose of the CD38 inhibitor administered to a subject, or the frequency of administration may be altered in order to provide an acceptable level of both disorder progression and immunotherapy treatment according to the methods of the invention.
- the specific level of disorder progression and toxic activities determined to be ‘acceptable’ will vary according to the specific circumstances and should be assessed on such a basis.
- the invention provides the use of an CD38 inhibitor, such as an anti- CD38 antibody, for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of neurotoxicity and/or CRS in a human subject undergoing immunotherapy, wherein the medicament is administered before immunotherapy.
- an CD38 inhibitor such as an anti- CD38 antibody
- the treatment and/or prevention of neurotoxicity and/or CRS comprises administering an CD38 inhibitor according to the embodiments as described herein.
- the subject is undergoing immunotherapy according to the embodiments as described herein.
- 3 x 10 L 6 Raji tumour cells from ATCC are injected intraperitoneally into a 6-8 week old female SCID-beige mouse (Taconic) and allow to grow for 20 days, until they eventually grow into vascularised solid tumour masses.
- 30 x 10 L 6 CD19 CAR T cells are then injected into the mouse.
- a panel of known CRS markers are monitored e.g. percentage weight change over 65 hours, serum cytokine profile including IL6 levels and/or IL15 levels and/or iNOS + cells.
- CRS is confirmed in mice displaying, for example, more than 10% weight drop in 65 hours and/or raised IL6 levels.
- mCD40L is constitutively expressed with the CD19 CAR T cells (CAR-mCD40L).
- Example 2 CRS in immunotherapy following administration of anti-CD38 antibody before immunotherapy administration
- the CRS markers are measured as described in Example 1 in tumour-bearing mice which receive daratumumab (16 mg/kg mouse weight per day) daily from 10 days to 1 day (day-10 to day-1 ) before CAR T cell infusion. CAR T cells are injected into mice 7 days after the first T cell activation.
- the marker levels measured are compared CRS markers levels with tumour-bearing mice which receive daratumumab only during (day 0) or post-CAR T cell therapy (day+1 to day+4).
- Control mice receive PBS supplemented with 2% human serum.
- mice which received pre-administration of daratumumab showed significantly less weight loss over a 65-hour period following CAR T cell infusion compared with mice which did not receive daratumumab.
- Example 3 CRS in immunotherapy following administration of anti-CD38 antibody
- Example 2 The pre-administration protocol described in Example 2 is repeated (day-10 to day-1).
- the administration of daratumumab (16 mg/kg mouse weight per day) is continued on day 0 and/or 1 day to 4 days post CAR T cell infusion (day-10 to dayO / or day-10 to day+4).
- the marker levels are then measured and compared with levels in tumour bearing mice which receive daratumumab during (day 0) and/or only post CAR T cell therapy (day+1 to day+4).
- Control mice receive PBS supplemented with 2% human serum.
- mice which received pre-administration dosages of daratumumab showed significantly less weight loss over a 65-hour period following CAR T cell infusion compared with mice which received daratumumab only during or only after CAR T cell infusion.
