[0030] Various publications, articles and patents are cited or described in the background and throughout the specification; each of these references is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles or the like which has been included in the present specification is for the purpose of providing context for the invention. Such discussion is not an admission that any or all of these matters form part of the prior art with respect to any inventions disclosed or claimed.
[0031] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. Otherwise, certain terms used herein have the meanings as set forth in the specification. [0032] It must be noted that as used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0033] As used herein, the use of a numerical range expressly includes all possible subranges, all individual numerical values within that range, including integers within such ranges and fractions of the values unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, the term “about” in relation to a reference numerical value can also include a range of values plus or minus 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% from that value. In some cases, the numerical disclosed throughout can be “about” that numerical value even without specifically mentioning the term “about.”
[0034] Unless otherwise indicated, the term “at least” preceding a series of elements is to be understood to refer to every element in the series. [0035] Those skilled in the art will recognize or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific embodiments described herein. Such equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the invention.
[0036] As used herein, and unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
[0037] As used herein, the conjunctive term “and/or” between multiple recited elements is understood as encompassing both individual and combined options. For instance, where two elements are conjoined by “and/or,” a first option refers to the applicability of the first element without the second. A second option refers to the applicability of the second element without the first. A third option refers to the applicability of the first and second elements together. Any one of these options is understood to fall within the meaning, and therefore satisfy the requirement of the term “and/or” as used herein. Concurrent applicability of more than one of the options is also understood to fall within the meaning, and therefore satisfy the requirement of the term “and/or.” [0038] As used herein, the term “cycle” refers to a specified period of time during which a treatment (e.g., an ICOSxPD-1 antibody) is administered to a subject. For example, one cycle can last a specific number of days, weeks, or months. In a specific embodiment, one cycle lasts 28 days. A treatment (e.g., an ICOSxPD-1 antibody) can be administered to a subject for one cycle or for multiple cycles. When a treatment is administered to a subject for multiple cycles, the cycles can occur at regular intervals. For example, a cycle can be immediately followed by one or more additional cycles, or two or more cycles can be separated by a period without treatment. In an embodiment, the subject is administered a treatment for two cycles.
[0039] As used herein, “ICOS,” also known as “Inducible T Cell Costimulator,” “AILIM,” “Activation-Inducible Lymphocyte Immunomediatory Molecule,” “Inducible T-Cell Costimulator,” “CD278,” “Inducible T-Cell Co-Stimulator,” “Inducible Costimulator,” “CD278 Antigen,” and “CVID1,” refers to a costimulatory molecule that is expressed on activated T cells and belongs to the CD28 and CTLA-4 cell-surface receptor family (e.g., HGNC: 5351; NCBI Entrez Gene: 29851; Ensembl: ENSG00000163600; OMIM®: 604558; UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: Q9Y6W8). ICOS plays a role in T-cell responses, including cell signaling, immune responses, and proliferation. In a specific embodiment, the ICOS is human ICOS. [0040] As used herein, “PD-1,” also known as “PD1,” “CD279,” “HSLE1,” “PD-1,” “Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Susceptibility,” “Programmed Cell Death Protein 1,” “Protein PD-1,” “SLEB2,” “HPD-1,” “Programmed Cell Death 1 Protein,” “CD279 Antigen,” and “HPD- L,” refers to an immune-inhibitory receptor expressed in activated T cell (e.g., HGNC: 8760; NCBI Entrez Gene: 5133; Ensembl: ENSG00000188389; OMIM®: 600244; UniProtKB/Swiss- Prot: QI 5116). PD-1 is involved in regulating T-cell functions. In a specific embodiment, the PD-1 is human PD-1.
[0041] The term “multispecific antibody,” as used herein, means any non-native or alternate antibody format that engages two or more different antigens (e.g., ICOS x PD-1 multispecific antibodies). In some embodiments, a multispecific antibody is a bispecific antibody.
[0042] As used herein, the term “antibody” is used in a broad sense and includes immunoglobulin or antibody molecules. In general, antibodies are proteins or peptide chains that exhibit binding specificity to a specific antigen. In specific embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are based on IgGl, IgG2, or IgG4. In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are based on IgGl, IgG2, or IgG4 and contain amino acid variants. In many preferred embodiments, the antibodies provided herein are based on human IgGl, and contain amino acid variants as outlined herein. Antibody light chains of vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, namely kappa and lambda, based on the amino acid sequences of their constant domains. In one embodiment, an antibody provided herein comprises a kappa light chain. In other embodiments, an antibody provided herein comprises a lambda light chain. In certain embodiments, an antibody provided herein comprises a kappa light chain and a lambda light chain. Accordingly, the antibodies provided herein can, in certain embodiments, contain a kappa light chain constant domain. In other embodiments, antibodies provided herein can, in certain embodiments, contain lambda light chain constant domains. In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein can contain kappa light chain and lambda light chain constant domains.
[0043] In addition to the heavy and light constant domains, antibodies contain an antigenbinding region that is made up of a light chain variable (VL) domain (or region) and a heavy chain variable (VH) domain (or region). The term “hypervariable region”, such as a VH or VL, when used herein refers to the regions of an antibody variable region that are hypervariable in sequence and/or form structurally defined loops. Generally, antibodies comprise six hypervariable regions; three in the VH (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3), and three in the VL (LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3). A “CDR” refers to one of three hypervariable regions (VH CDR1, VH CDR2 or VH CDR3) within the non-framework region of the immunoglobulin (Ig or antibody) VH 0-sheet framework, or one of three hypervariable regions (VL CDR1, VL CDR2 or VL CDR3) within the non-framework region of the antibody VL P-sheet framework. Accordingly, CDRs are variable region sequences interspersed within the framework region sequences. The light chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR1 or VL CDR1. The light chain variable region CDR2 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR2 or VL CDR2. The light chain variable region CDR3 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR3 or VL CDR3. The heavy chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR1 or VH CDR1. The heavy chain variable region CDR2 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR2 or VH CDR2. The heavy chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR3 or VH CDR3.
[0044] A number of hypervariable region delineations are in use and are encompassed herein, for example, in the tables and/or Examples provided below. The “Kabaf ’ CDRs are based on sequence variability and are the most commonly used (see, e.g., Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991)). “Chothia” refers instead to the location of the structural loops (see, e.g., Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)). The end of the Chothia CDR-HCDR1 loop when numbered using the Kabat numbering convention varies between H32 and H34 depending on the length of the loop (this is because the Kabat numbering scheme places the insertions at H35A and H35B; if neither 35A nor 35B is present, the loop ends at 32; if only 35A is present, the loop ends at 33; if both 35A and 35B are present, the loop ends at 34). The “AbM” hypervariable regions represent a compromise between the Kabat CDRs and Chothia structural loops, and are used by Oxford Molecular’s AbM antibody modeling software (see, e.g., Martin, in Antibody Engineering, Vol. 2, Chapter 3, Springer Verlag). “Contact” hypervariable regions are based on an analysis of the available complex crystal structures. An additional a universal numbering system can also be used, ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) Information System® (Lafranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol. 27(l):55-77 (2003)). IMGT is an integrated information system specializing in immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of human and other vertebrates. Herein, the CDRs are referred to in terms of both the amino acid sequence and the location within the light or heavy chain. As the “location” of the CDRs within the structure of the immunoglobulin variable domain is conserved between species and present in structures called loops, by using numbering systems that align variable domain sequences according to structural features, CDR and framework residues and are readily identified. This information can be used in grafting and replacement of CDR residues from immunoglobulins of one species into an acceptor framework from, typically, a human antibody. An additional numbering system (AHon) has been developed by Honegger and Pluckthun, J. Mol. Biol. 309: 657-670 (2001). Correspondence between the numbering system, including, for example, the Kabat numbering and the IMGT unique numbering system, is well known to one skilled in the art (see, e.g., Kabat, supra, Chothia and Lesk, supra, Martin, supra, Lafranc et al., supra). An Exemplary system may also be used that combines Kabat and Chothia.

[0045] Hypervariable regions may comprise “extended hypervariable regions” as follows: 24-36 or 24-34 (LCDR1), 46-56 or 50-56 (LCDR2) and 89-97 or 89-96 (LCDR3) in the VL and 26-35 or 26-35A (HCDR1), 50-65 or 49-65 (HCDR2) and 93-102, 94-102, or 95-102 (HCDR3) in the VH. CDR sequences, reflecting each of the above numbering schemes, are provided herein.
[0046] The term “constant region” or “constant domain” refers to a carboxy terminal portion of the light and heavy chain which is not directly involved in binding of the antibody to antigen but exhibits various effector function, such as interaction with the Fc receptor. The terms refer to the portion of an immunoglobulin molecule having a more conserved amino acid sequence relative to the other portion of the immunoglobulin, the variable region, which contains the antigen binding site. The constant region may contain the CHI, hinge, CH2 and CH3 regions of the heavy chain and the CL region of the light chain.
[0047] The term “framework” or “FR” residues are those variable region residues flanking the CDRs. FR residues are present, for example, in chimeric, humanized, human, domain antibodies, diabodies, linear antibodies, and bispecific antibodies. FR residues are those variable domain residues other than the hypervariable region residues or CDR residues.
[0048] The term “antigen binding domain” or “ABD” as used herein refer to a set of six CDRs that, when present as part of a polypeptide sequence, specifically binds a target antigen as discussed herein. As is known in the art, these CDRs are generally present as a first set of variable heavy CDRs (VH CDRs) and a second set of variable light CDRs (CDRs), each comprising three CDRs: VH CDR1, VH CDR2, VH CDR3 for the heavy chain and VL CDR1, VL CDR2 and VL CDR3 for the light. The CDRs are present in the variable heavy and variable light domains, respectively, and together form an Fv region. Thus, in some cases, the six CDRs of the antigen binding domain are contributed by a variable heavy and a variable light domain. In a “Fab” format, the set of 6 CDRs are contributed by two different polypeptide sequences, the variable heavy domain (containing the VH CDR1, VH CDR2 and VH CDR3) and the variable light domain (containing the VL CDR1, VL CDR2 and VL CDR3), with the C-terminus of the VH domain being attached to the N-terminus of the CHI domain of the heavy chain and the C- terminus of the VL domain being attached to the N-terminus of the constant light domain (and thus forming the light chain). In a scFv format, the VH and VL domains are covalently attached, generally through the use of a linker (a “scFv linker”) as outlined herein, into a single polypeptide sequence, which can be either (starting from the N-terminus) VH-linker-VL or VL- linker-VH (including optional domain linkers on each side, depending on the format used.
[0049] In general, the C-terminus of the scFv domain is attached to the N-terminus of a domain linker in the second monomer. In certain embodiments, the domain linker is a hinge. In some embodiments, the domain linker is a GS linker (single or multiple GS amino acids). In other embodiments, the domain linker is a truncated hinge.
[0050] As used herein, the term an “isolated antibody” refers to an antibody which is substantially free of other antibodies having different antigenic specificities (e.g., an isolated antibody that specifically binds to a given target is substantially free of antibodies that do not bind to that same target). Tn addition, an isolated antibody is substantially free of other cellular material and/or chemicals.
[0051] As used herein, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that can be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies provided herein can be made by the hybridoma method, phage display technology, single lymphocyte gene cloning technology, or by recombinant DNA methods. For example, the monoclonal antibodies can be produced by a hybridoma which includes a B cell obtained from a transgenic nonhuman animal, such as a transgenic mouse or rat, having a genome comprising a human heavy chain transgene and a light chain transgene. In a specific embodiment, an ICOSxPDl antibody provided herein is a XmAb®23104 bispecific monoclonal antibody.
[0052] “Fab” or “Fab region” refers to the polypeptide that comprises the VH, CHI, VL, and CL immunoglobulin domains, generally on two different polypeptide chains (e.g., VH-CH1 on one chain and VL-CL on the other). Fab may refer to this region in isolation, or this region in the context of a bispecific antibody of the invention. In the context of a Fab, the Fab comprises an Fv region in addition to the CHI and CL domains.
[0053] As used herein, “Fv,” “Fv fragment,” or “Fv region” refer to a polypeptide that comprises the VL and VH domains of an ABD. Fv regions can be formatted as both Fabs (as discussed above, generally two different polypeptides that also include the constant regions as outlined above) and scFvs, where the VL and VH domains are combined (generally with a linker as discussed herein) to form an scFv.
[0054] The term “single chain Fv” or “scFv” refers to a variable heavy domain covalently attached to a variable light domain, generally using a scFv linker as discussed herein, to form a scFv or scFv domain. A scFv domain can be in either orientation from N- to C-terminus (VH- linker-VL or VL-linker-VH). The order of the VH and VL domain can be indicated in the name, e.g.,H.X_L.Y means N- to C-terminal is VH-linker-VL, and L.Y H.X is VL-linker-VH.
[0055] The terms “Fc,” “Fc region,” or “Fc domain” as used herein refer to the polypeptide comprising the CH2-CH3 domains of an IgG molecule, and in some cases, inclusive of the hinge. In EU numbering for human IgGl, the CH2-CH3 domain comprises amino acids 231 to 447, and the hinge is 216 to 230. Thus the definition of “Fc domain” includes both amino acids 231 -447 (CH2-CH3) or 216-447 (hinge-CH2-CH3), or fragments thereof. An “Fc fragment” in this context may contain fewer amino acids from either or both of the N- and C-termini but still retains the ability to form a dimer with another Fc domain or Fc fragment as can be detected using standard methods, generally based on size (e.g., non-denaturing chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, etc.) Human IgG Fc domains are of particular use in the present invention, and can be the Fc domain from human IgGl, IgG2 or IgG4.
[0056] As used herein, “heavy chain constant region” refers to the CHl-hinge-CH2-CH3 portion of an antibody (or fragments thereof), excluding the variable heavy domain; in EU numbering of human IgGl this is amino acids 118-447. As is known in the art, there can be C- terminal protease clipping during protein expression and thus the IgGl terminal lysine (K447), and additional residues, may be missing from the protein.
[0057] As used herein, the term “multispecific antibody” refers to an antibody that comprises a plurality of immunoglobulin variable domain sequences, wherein a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence of the plurality has binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment, the first and second epitopes are on different targets (e.g., the first epitope is on a first target (such as ICOS) and the second epitope is on a second target (such as PD1)).
[0058] As used herein, the term “bispecific antibody” refers to a multispecific antibody that binds no more than two antigens. A bispecific antibody is characterized by a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence which has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence that has binding specificity for a second epitope. In an embodiment, the first and second epitopes are on different targets (e.g., the first epitope is on a first target (such as ICOS) and the second epitope is on a second target (such as PD1)).
[0059] The invention provides a number of antibody domains that have sequence identity to human antibody domains. The terms “identical” or percent “identity,” in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same, when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection. For sequence comparison, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity for the test sequence(s) relative to the reference sequence, based on the designated program parameters.
[0060] Sequence identity between two similar sequences (e.g., antibody variable domains) can be measured by algorithms such as that of Smith, T.F. & Waterman, M.S. (1981) “Comparison of Biosequences,” Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 [local homology algorithm]; Needleman, S.B. & Wunsch, CD. (1970) “A General Method Applicable to the Search for Similarities in the Amino Acid Sequence of Two Proteins,” J. Mol. Biol.48:443 [homology alignment algorithm], Pearson, W.R. & Lipman, D.J. (1988) “Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Comparison,” Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (U.S.A.) 85:2444 [search for similarity method]; or Altschul, S.F. et al, (1990) “Basic Local Alignment Search Tool,” J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10 , the “BLAST” algorithm, see, e.g., blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi. When using any of the aforementioned algorithms, the default parameters (for Window length, gap penalty, etc.) are used. In one embodiment, sequence identity is done using the BLAST algorithm, using default parameters.
[0061] Examples of algorithms that are suitable for determining percent sequence identity and sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410 and Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25: 3389-3402, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold (Altschul et al., supra). These initial neighborhood word hits act as seeds for initiating searches to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are then extended in both directions along each sequence for as far as the cumulative alignment score can be increased. [0062] Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always > 0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always < 0). For amino acid sequences, a scoring matrix is used to calculate the cumulative score. Extension of the word hits in each direction are halted when: the cumulative alignment score falls off by the quantity X from its maximum achieved value; the cumulative score goes to zero or below, due to the accumulation of one or more negative-scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses as defaults a word length (W) of 11, an expectation (E) of 10, M=5, N=-4, and a comparison of both strands. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses as defaults a word length (W) of 3, an expectation (E) of 10, and the BLOSUM62 scoring matrix (see Henikoff & Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10915 (1989)).
[0063] In addition to calculating percent sequence identity, the BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g., Karlin & Altschul, Proc. NatT. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5787 (1993)). One measure of similarity provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which provides an indication of the probability by which a match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences would occur by chance. For example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of the test nucleic acid to the reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.1, more preferably less than about 0.01, and most preferably less than about 0.001.
[0064] The antibodies of the present invention are generally isolated or recombinant. “Isolated,” when used to describe the various polypeptides disclosed herein, means a polypeptide that has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a cell or cell culture from which it was expressed. Ordinarily, an isolated polypeptide can be prepared by at least one purification step. “Recombinant” means the antibodies are generated using recombinant nucleic acid techniques in exogeneous host cells, and they can be isolated as well.
[0065] As used herein, the terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” or “protein” can refer to a molecule comprised of amino acids and can be recognized as a protein by those of skill in the art. The conventional one-letter or three-letter code for amino acid residues is used herein. The terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” can be used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. The peptide sequences described herein are written according to the usual convention whereby the N-terminal region of the peptide is on the left and the C- terminal region is on the right. Although isomeric forms of the amino acids are known, it is the L-form of the amino acid that is represented unless otherwise expressly indicated.
[0066] As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treatment,” and “treating” refer to the reduction or amelioration or elimination of the progression, severity and/or effect associated with a solid malignant tumor described herein, or the improvement in the solid malignant tumor condition, or the improvement in the disease associated with the solid malignant tumor, or the increase in the immune system response of the human subject, or the amelioration of one or more symptoms (preferably, one or more discernible symptoms) of a solid malignant tumor described herein resulting from the administration of one or more therapies. In specific embodiments, the terms “treat,” “treatment,” and “treating” refer to the amelioration of at least one measurable physical parameter of a solid malignant tumor described herein, such as tumor size, rate of tumor growth, number of tumor cells, tumor invasiveness, presence of metastasis, or extent of metastasis. In other embodiments the terms “treat,” “treatment,” and “treating” refer to the inhibition of the progression of a solid malignant tumor described herein, either physically by, e.g., stabilization of a discernible symptom, physiologically by, e.g., stabilization of a physical parameter, or both. In other embodiments the terms “treat,” “treatment,” and “treating” refer to an increase in the immune system response of the human subject, such as increased T cell infiltration, increased T cell activation, upregulation of IFN pathways, upregulation of antigen presentation pathway, or increased Ki67+ induction in T cells In an exemplary embodiment, treating a solid malignant tumor provides an improvement, or a lack of progression, in the disease associated with the tumor or the tumor condition, and/or an improvement, or a lack of progression, in the symptoms associated with the disease or condition. In a specific embodiment, the improvement, for example, is as compared to the symptoms before or without treatment. For example, treating a solid malignant tumor refers to one or more of the following: (1) a reduction in the size of the solid tumor or number of solid malignant tumor cells, (2) an increase in solid malignant tumor cell death; (3) inhibition of solid malignant tumor cell survival; (5) inhibition (i.e., slowing to some extent, preferably lack of progression) of solid malignant tumor growth, such as stable disease; (6) inhibition of solid malignant tumor cell metastasis; (7) an increase in progression- free survival; (8) an increase in overall survival rate; and (9) some relief from one or more symptoms associated with the disease or condition. Additional descriptions regarding treatment can be found in the RECIST criteria (Eisenhauer etal. (2009) Eur J Cancer. 45:228-47; Chalian et al. (2011) Radiographics 31 :2093-105); the imRECIST criteria (Hodi et al. (2018) J Clin Oncol. 36:850-858); the modified IrRC criteria (Wolchok etal. (2009) Clin Cancer Res. 15:7412-20); and the PCWG3 criteria (Scher, et al. (2016) Clin Oncol. 34: 1402-18). In some embodiments, treating a solid malignant tumor involves administering the bispecific antibody for a pre-specified period of time, discontinuing administration for another specific period of time, and resuming administration of the bispecific antibody for yet another specific period of time. In some embodiments, treating a solid malignant tumor involves administering the bispecific antibody until one of the treatment effects described herein is achieved, pausing administration of the bispecific antibody while this treatment effect continues to be observed, and resuming administration of the bispecific antibody if this treatment effect ceases to be observed.
[0067] Solid malignant tumor treatment can be determined by standardized response criteria specific to the disease associated with the tumor or the tumor condition. Solid malignant tumor response can be assessed for changes in tumor morphology (i.e., with neo-adjuvant use of a therapy, such as assessment of pathological response) or tumor metrics (i.e., overall tumor burden, tumor size, and the like) using screening techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, x-radiographic imaging, radionuclide scan, computed tomographic (CT) scan, bone scan imaging, endoscopy, tumor sampling including bone marrow aspiration (BMA), and counting of tumor marker levels and/or tumor cells in the circulation.
[0068] Treatment according to the present invention includes a “therapeutically effective amount” of the medicaments used. A “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve a desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the medicaments to elicit a desired response in the individual. Alternatively, this property of a composition may be evaluated by examining the ability of the compound to inhibit cell growth or to induce apoptosis by in vitro assays known to the skilled practitioner. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic compound may decrease tumor size, or otherwise ameliorate symptoms in a subject. One of ordinary skill in the art would be able to determine such amounts based on such factors as the subject’s size, the severity of the subject’s symptoms, and the particular composition or route of administration selected.
[0069] The terms “patient,” “subject,” and “human subject” are used interchangeably herein. [0070] As used herein, a “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a side chain with a similar charge.
Families of amino acid residues having side chains with similar charges have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). As used herein, a “non-conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which is not a conservative amino acid substitution.

[00159] Administration “in combination”, as used herein, means that two (z.e., an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure and one additional agent), three (or more) different agents are administered to the subject for treating the same disease or disorder as the disease or disorder that the ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure is being used to treat in the subject (e.g, during the course of the subject’s affliction with the disorder, e.g., the two or more agents are administered after the human subject has been diagnosed with the tumor (e.g., solid tumor)). In some embodiments, the administration of one agent is still occurring when the administration of the second agent begins, so that there is overlap in terms of administration. This is sometimes referred to herein as “simultaneous” or “concurrent administration”. In other embodiments, the administration of one agent ends before the administration of the other agent begins. In some embodiments of either case, the treatment is more effective because of combined administration. In some embodiments, administration is such that the reduction in a symptom, or other parameter related to the tumor is greater than what would be observed with one agent administered in the absence of the other. The effect of the agents on the subject can be partially additive, wholly additive, or greater than additive. The administration can be such that an effect of the first treatment administration is still detectable when the second is administered.

EXAMPLES
[00196] Examples are provided below to illustrate the present invention. These examples are not meant to constrain the present invention to any particular application or theory of operation.
EXAMPLE 1 - Treatment of advanced tumors using an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administered with or without ipilimumab
[00197] A phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), multiple-dose study is conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure administered with or without a CTLA-4 antibody (e.g., ipilimumab) in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors. The study is conducted in two parts: Part A is the dose-escalation phase of the study and Part B is the cohort expansion phase of the study.
[00198] The ICOSxPD-1 antibody is a humanized bispecific antibody that binds the immune checkpoint molecule PD-1 and the costimulatory molecule ICOS. While an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is expected to preferentially bind cells that simultaneously express ICOS and PD-1, the anti-ICOS arm is believed to have immune agonist activity.
[00199] CTLA4 blockade has been shown to induce expansion of 1COS+ effector T cells in prostate cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma, and hepatocellular cancer (Chen et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2009;106(8):2729-34; Liakou et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2008; 105(39): 14987-92; Agdashian etal. Cancer Immunol Immunother. 2019;68(4):599-608; Wei et al. Cell. 2017; 170(6): 112033. el 117.). A retrospective analysis of a small melanoma study showed that an increase of ICOS+ T cells correlated to increased likelihood of clinical benefit (Carthon et al.
Clin Can Res;2010;16(10):2861-71.). Based on these data, in addition to ICOSxPD-1 antibody treatment, the Part B expansion explores CTLA4 blockade using ICOSxPD-1 antibody in combination with CTLA-4 antibody (e.g., ipilimumab).
5.1 Treatment Regimens
[00200] This study consists of 2 parts:
[00201] Part A: Dose-Escalation Phase
[00202] Part B: Expansion Phase
[00203] Part A : Dose-Escalation Phase
[00204] Part A is designed to define a maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose (MTD/RD) of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody. In Part A, an accelerated titration dose escalation scheme is used for the first 2 dose cohorts, followed by standard 3 + 3 dose escalation for the remaining cohorts. The initial dose level in Part A is 0.002 mg/kg, and subsequent dose levels (if reached) are 0.02, 0.06, 0.2, 0.6, 1.8, 5.4, 10, 15 and 20 mg/kg with the potential to continue to escalate beyond dose level 10, if the safety profile allows, and each higher dose level representing a < 50% increase above the immediate prior dose level. The initial treatment period for each subject in this study is 2 cycles. Subjects receive infusions of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
[00205] Part A contains 2 parallel dose-escalation groups based on the subject’s prior pembrolizumab exposure (pembrolizumab was found to interfere with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody binding in a competitive fashion in vitro). Subjects who are either naive to treatment with pembrolizumab or have received pembrolizumab > 24 weeks prior to study enrollment are enrolled sequentially in up to 10 dose-level cohorts (Cohorts 1A-10A), with the potential to continue to escalate beyond dose level 10, if the safety profde allows, and each higher dose level representing a < 50% increase above the immediate prior dose level. Subjects who have received pembrolizumab > 6 weeks and < 24 weeks prior to enrollment are enrolled sequentially in up to 8 dose-level cohorts (Cohorts 3B-10B) beginning at the third dose level (0.06 mg/kg). Subjects who are either naive to treatment with pembrolizumab or have received pembrolizumab > 24 weeks prior to study enrollment are enrolled sequentially in 10 planned dose-level cohorts (Cohorts 1A-10A), with the potential to continue to escalate beyond dose level 10, if the safety profde allows, and each higher dose level representing a < 50% increase above the immediate prior dose level. Subjects who have received nivolumab > 4 weeks prior to enrollment are enrolled sequentially in Cohorts 1A-10A. Enrollment into Cohort 3B begins if and when the first 2 dose-level cohorts (Cohorts 1A and 2A) have cleared safety evaluation by the Dose-Escalation Review Committee (DERC). The B cohorts in Part A continue to escalate in parallel to the A cohorts unless a decision is made by the sponsor and/or DERC that the data being collected in the B cohorts is no longer informative.
[00206] A minimum of 1 subject is enrolled in each dose-escalation cohort during the accelerated titration phase of dose escalation (Cohorts 1 A and 2A), and a minimum of 3 subjects are enrolled during the standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation phase (Cohorts 3 and higher).
[00207] In Part A, the first subject is dosed and observed for a minimum of 24 hours before study drug is administered to the remainder of the cohort; no 2 subjects within a cohort start treatment with an TCOSxPD-1 antibody on the same day. All subjects are assessed for the development of dose limiting toxicides (DLTs) during treatment with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody. The DLT assessment period is defined as Cycle 1, Days 1 through 28.
[00208] Part B: Expansion Phase
[00209] Part B, the cohort expansion phase of the study, enrolls study subjects at the MTD/RD determined in Part A and enrolls up to 150 subjects (safety lead-in N=6 plus diseasespecific cohorts N=144) with select advanced tumors into disease-specific expansion groups: undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), including other select high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) such as myxofibrosarcoma (MFS); non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC); head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC); colorectal cancer (CRC); renal cell carcinoma, clear cell histology (ccRCC); and melanoma. These tumor types were chosen based on high ICOS expression in tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and clinical response in the escalation phase of the study.
[00210] There is a safety lead-in cohort for subjects receiving an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in combination with ipilimumab with 6 subjects, from the list of Part B expansion disease groups. The phase 2 dose of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody was determined to be 10 mg/kg based on tolerability, clinical responses, pharmacodynamic data and investigator input. These subjects in the safety lead-in receive 10 mg/kg of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody and 1 mg/kg of ipilimumab. If < 1 dose limiting toxicity (DLT) has occurred in 6 subjects, the expansion disease-specific cohorts initiate at the RD determined in Part A. Expansion phase enrolls 6 disease-specific cohorts: UPS, NSCLC, HNSCC, CRC, ccRCC and melanoma. For each tumor type cohort, the study is conducted in two stages. Stage 1 assigns 12 subjects to each of the tumor type cohorts; 6 randomized to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody and 6 randomized to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in combination with ipilimumab. Once 12 subjects have been randomized at Stage 1 in each disease-specific cohort, there is an enrollment hiatus to allow for the subjects to be followed through 2 cycles to the first response assessment. Subject replacements may be needed for subjects that do not have evaluable post-baseline response assessments. Subjects who discontinue treatment due to related adverse events (AEs), death or clinical progression without an evaluable post-baseline assessment may not be replaced. An interim analysis is performed on the efficacy response data at the end of Stage 1 when 12 subjects have either withdrawn/not replaced or have been followed to the first response assessment. [00211] Based on the results of the interim analysis for Stage 1 of each cohort, and review of safety data in consultation with the DERC, a decision is made whether or not to proceed to Stage 2. If yes, Stage 2 continues to randomize an additional 12 subjects, 6 to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody and 6 to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in combination with ipilimumab. The study flow chart is provided in FIG. 2. All subjects are assessed for the development of DLTs during treatment with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody. The DLT assessment period is defined as Cycle 1, Days 1 through 28.
[00212] A DLT is defined as any adverse event (AE) or clinically significant abnormal laboratory value (unless clearly attributable to underlying malignancy or concomitant disease) occurring during Cycle 1 through Day 28 and meeting one of the following criteria.
[00213] Non-hematologic Toxicity:
• Any Grade > 4 toxicity
• Any Grade 3 toxicity lasting > 3 days despite optimal supportive care, except for the following:
- Grade 3 rash that resolves to < Grade 2 in < 7 days with therapy
- Grade 3 arthralgia that resolves to < Grade 2 in < 7 days or can be managed with optimal supportive care
- Grade 3 autoimmune thyroiditis or other endocrine abnormality that can be managed by endocrine therapy that does not include systemic corticosteroids
- Grade 3 tumor flare (defined as local pain, irritation, or rash localized to site of suspected tumor) that resolves to < Grade 2 in < 7 days
• Grade 3 elevation of serum hepatic transaminase (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) lasting > 7 days
• Any increase in hepatic transaminase (ALT or AST) > 3 x baseline in combination with either an increase in direct bilirubin > 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or clinical jaundice, in the absence of cholestasis or other contributory factors Any Grade 3 laboratory value that persists for > 1 week or that requires medical intervention or hospitalization, except for the following:
- Isolated Grade 3 lipase values that are not accompanied by Grade > 3 amylase values or clinical
- symptoms or radiographic evidence of pancreatitis
- Grade > 3 lymphopenia, which is an expected pharmacologic effect of immunotherapy
• Any immune-related adverse event (irAE) that requires permanent discontinuation of study drug according to the management guidelines set forth in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines - Management of Immunotherapy - Related Toxi cities
[00214] Hematologic Toxicity:
• Any Grade > 4 toxicity, except for the following:
- Grade 4 neutropenia lasting < 7 days is not considered a DLT.
- Grade 4 thrombocytopenia < 7 days and not associated with clinically significant bleeding is not considered a DLT.
• Any irAE that requires permanent discontinuation of study drug
[00215] If a subject does not complete the DLT period (including both doses of study drug) for reasons other than toxicity or is not assessable for toxicity throughout the period, the subject is replaced. Dose escalation in Part A proceeds according to the Dose-Escalation Scheme, and the final decision to escalate to a higher dose level is made by a DERC based on review of the aggregate safety data for all subjects through Cycle 1 Day 28. Data about toxi cities occurring outside the DLT period including late toxicities, are collected, analyzed, and presented for consideration by the DERC in determining the safety and tolerability of a dose. The DERC can make adaptations to the dosing schema if necessary, in accordance with evolving trial safety and tolerability findings, as long as changes do not significantly affect the risk profile of the study. [002161 Primary Objectives: 1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody with and without ipilimumab in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors that have progressed after treatment with standard/approved therapies or have no appropriate available therapies; and 2) to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose (RD)/schedule for an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administered by intravenous (IV) dosing on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors.
[00217] Secondary Objectives: 1) to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody with and without ipilimumab; and 2) to assess preliminary anti -tumor activity of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody with and without ipilimumab by objective response rates (ORR), duration of response (DOR), and best overall response rates (BOR), per response evaluation criteria outlined in Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, and by progression-free survival (PFS).
[00218] Exploratory Objectives: 1) to assess preliminary anti-tumor activity of an ICOSxPD- 1 antibody administered as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab by ORR and BOR rates, PFS, and DOR, per response evaluation criteria outlined in the following: - Immune- modified RECIST (imRECIST) - Modified RECIST 1.1 for immune-based therapeutics (iRECIST); 2) to characterize pharmacodynamics of inflammatory indices in the peripheral blood by measuring receptor occupancy and soluble and cellular markers of activation/proliferation of peripheral T-cell subsets before and after administration of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab; 3) to characterize pharmacodynamics of inflammatory indices in the tumor microenvironment (TME) by immunohistological analysis of the cellular composition of the tumor immune infiltrate and the expression of inflammatory modulators that may include inducible cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4), costimulator (ICOS), programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) of both archival tumor tissue and fresh tumor biopsies before and after an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administration as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab administration; 4) to characterize pharmacodynamics of inflammatory transcriptional signatures of the tumor microenvironment (TME) by analysis of archival tumor tissue and fresh tumor biopsies (if available) before and after administration of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administered as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab administration; and 5) to correlate clinical response with tumor mutational burden, immune cell infdtration, expression of soluble or cellular immunomodulatory markers and inflammatory transcriptional signatures as assessed in archival tumor tissue and/or fresh tumor biopsies (if available).
[00219] Treatment Plan
[00220] Subjects are given an ICOSxPD-1 antibody intravenously on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle, for a total of 2 cycles. Subjects are allowed to continue to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody beyond 2 cycles, if they meet specified criteria or if, the subject is deriving benefit from the therapy. In the expansion phase of the study (Part B), the treatment period for each subject on ipilimumab is 2 cycles. Each cycle is 28 days long, with each ipilimumab dose occurring once every 3 weeks. Three induction doses of ipilimumab are planned in 2 cycles, but up to 4 total induction doses of ipilimumab are allowed should the subject continue treatment beyond 2 cycles. An ICOSxPD-1 antibody is administered by IV infusion at a constant rate over 1 hour. Ipilimumab is administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg over a 90-minute IV infusion. On days when both ipilimumab and an ICOSxPD-1 antibody are administered, ipilimumab is given first; an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is started 60 minutes after the end of the ipilimumab infusion. For each cohort in Part A, the first subject is dosed and observed for a minimum of 24 hours before study drug is administered to the remainder of the cohort; no 2 subjects within a cohort start treatment with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody on the same day. At the end of Cycle 2 and every second cycle thereafter for subjects who continue to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody, the subject undergoes a tumor response assessment.
[00221] Primary Endpoints.
[00222] The primary endpoint of the study is safety, as measured by incidence of treatment- emergent AEs (TEAEs), clinically significant changes in safety laboratory tests, physical examination (PE) findings, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and DLTs used to determine the MTD and/or RD and schedule of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administered with and without ipilimumab for evaluation in future studies.

[00224] The secondary endpoints of the study includes: characterizing PK based on the parameters of Cmax, time to reach maximum concentration (tmax), ti/2, AUCo-oc, CL, Vd, AUC from time zero to the time point of the last measurable concentration (AUCiast), AUC from time zero to the end of the dosing interval, tau (AUCtau), and terminal ke; assessing immunogenicity by incidence of antibodies directed to an ICOSxPD-1 antibody and qualitative assessment of safety outcomes; evaluating preliminary anti-tumor activity of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administered with and without ipilimumab by RECIST 1.1 assessment as well as aggregate data for all subjects for objective response rates (ORR), best overall response rates (BOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR).
[00225] Exploratory Endpoints.
[00226] The exploratory endpoints of the study includes: preliminary anti-tumor activity of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administered as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab by imRECIST and iRECIST: ORR, BOR rates, PFS, and DOR; changes in peripheral markers of immune cell activation as assessed by quantification of inflammatory soluble mediators and flow cytometric analysis of receptor occupancy and T-cell proliferation/activation following an ICOSxPD-1 antibody administered as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab administration; changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of immune cell activation as assessed by immunohistological analysis of the cellular composition of the tumor infiltrate and the cellular expression of immunomodulators that may include ICOS, CTLA4, PDL1 and PD1 of both archival tumor tissue and fresh tumor biopsies before and after an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is administered as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab administration; changes in the TME of immune cell activation as assessed by inflammatory transcriptional signatures before and after an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is administered as a monotherapy and in combination with ipilimumab administration; correlation between immunohistological intratumoral immune cell infiltrates and clinical response; correlation between immunohistological expression of immunomodulators CTLA4, PDL1, PD1, and ICOS and clinical response; and correlation between inflammatory transcriptional signatures and clinical response.
5.2 Number of Subjects
[00227] The study enrolls up to 258 subjects into both Parts A and B.
[00228] Part A enrolls up to 108 subjects with a minimum of 1 subject in each dose-escalation cohort during the accelerated titration phase of dose escalation (Cohorts 1 A and 2A), and a minimum of 3 subjects are enrolled during the standard 3 + 3 dose-escalation phase (Cohorts 3 and higher). [00229] Part B enrolls up to 150 subjects with select advanced tumors into disease-specific expansion groups: undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), including other select highgrade soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) such as myxofibrosarcoma (MFS); non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC); head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) including nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC); colorectal cancer (CRC); ccRCC, and melanoma. There is a safety lead-in cohort for subjects receiving an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in combination with ipilimumab with 6 subjects. The expansion phase is conducted in two stages. Stage 1 assigns 12 subjects to each of the tumor type cohort; 6 randomized to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody and 6 randomized to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in combination with ipilimumab. Based on the results of the interim analysis for Stage 1 of each cohort, and review of safety data in consultation with the DERC, a decision is made whether or not to proceed to Stage 2. If a decision is made to proceed with Stage 2, Stage 2 continues to randomize an additional 12 subjects, 6 to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody and 6 to receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in combination with ipilimumab.
5.3 Treatment Assignment
[00230] Subjects who consent for the study are assigned a Subject Screening Number. Subjects eligible to receive study treatment are assigned a Subject Enrollment Number.
[00231] Part A: Dose-Escalation Study
[00232] During Part A, enrolled subjects are assigned to an open-dose cohort. No more than 1 subject is initiated on treatment with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody on any given day during the MTD and/or RD determination phase.
[00233] Part B: Expansion Study
[00234] In each of the two stages of Expansion (Part B), subjects are randomly assigned to monotherapy or combination therapy in a 1 : 1 ratio within each of 6 tumor type cohorts (UPS, NSCLC, HNSCC, CRC, ccRCC and melanoma) based on a pre-generated permuted-block randomization list.
[00235] The randomization is open-label (unblinded) due to the different dosing schedules between monotherapy and combination therapy and any analyses that make direct comparisons between the efficacy of monotherapy and of the combination are considered exploratory.
5.4 Subject Inclusion Criteria

All subjects must have adequate archival tumor sample (slides or archival formalin- fixed paraffinized embedded (FFPE) blockfs] containing tumor). A fresh tumor sample satisfies this criterion for those subjects who do not have adequate archival tumor sample. For subjects in Part A, this means a fresh screening tumor biopsy becomes mandatory.
[00242] All subjects in Part B (dose expansion) must have a tumor lesion that can be biopsied at acceptable risk and must agree to both a fresh biopsy during screening and a second biopsy to be collected between Day 21-28 of Cycle 1. For subjects in Part A (dose escalation), the fresh biopsies should also be collected (though these are not required for participation in the study, unless a screening biopsy is needed in lieu of archival tumor sample, in which case the screening biopsy then becomes mandatory for participation). Subjects have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control during and for 4 weeks after the last dose of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody if they receive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody monotherapy or for 12 weeks (90 days) after the last dose of ipilimumab.

5.5 Dosing Schedule
[00244] The treatment period for each subject in this study is 2 cycles. Each cycle is 28 days long and consists of 2 doses of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody, on Days 1 and 15. In Part A and Part B, the allowable ICOSxPD-1 antibody dosing window for C1D15 is ±1 day; from Cycle 2 and higher, the window is ±3 days. If a subject’s dose of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is held for > 7 days in any cycle in Part A or Part B, it should be considered missed. [00245] An ICOSxPD-1 antibody is administered by TV infusion at a constant rate over 1 hour. Ipilimumab is administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg over a 90-minute IV infusion. On days when both ipilimumab and an ICOSxPD-1 antibody are administered, ipilimumab is given first and an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is started 60 minutes after the end of the ipilimumab infusion.
[00246] Part A: Dosing Schedule for Dose-Escalation Phase
[00247] In Part A of the study, subjects are enrolled into dose-escalation cohorts to establish an MTD/RD(s) for a dosing regimen consisting of infusions administered every 2 weeks on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
[00248] Ten dose levels are planned for Part A as follows: 0.002, 0.02, 0.06, 0.2, 0.6, 1.8, 5.4, 10.0, 15.0, and 20.0 mg/kg with the potential to continue to escalate beyond dose level 10, if the safety profile allows, and each higher dose level representing a < 50% increase above the immediately prior dose level.
[00249] During Part A, the first subject in each dose-escalation cohort is dosed and observed for a minimum of 24 hours before study drug is subsequently administered to the remainder of subjects enrolled in the cohort. The dose level increases initially proceed according to an accelerated titration design, as shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Dose Levels and Dose-Escalation Schema
Figure imgf000093_0001
Figure imgf000094_0001
[00250] During the initial accelerated dose-escalation phase (Cohorts 1 A and 2A), dose escalation proceeds as described in Table 3.
Table 3. Dose-Escalation Rules
Figure imgf000094_0002
[00251] Part B: Dosing Schedule for Expansion Phase
[00252] In Part B, the treatment period for each subject on ipilimumab is 2 cycles. Each cycle is 28 days long, with each ipilimumab dose occurring every 3 weeks, as shown in Table 4.
Table 4. Dosing Schedule of an ICOSxPD-1 Antibody and Ipilimumab in Combination Group in Expansion Phase of the Study
Figure imgf000095_0001
[00253] Three induction doses of ipilimumab are planned in 2 cycles, but up to 4 total induction doses of ipilimumab are allowed should the subject continue treatment beyond 2 cycles. If a subject’s dose of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody or ipilimumab is not given within ± 3 days of the scheduled C2D1 or C2D8 visits, it is considered missed. For these specific visits, the ±3- day window supersedes the > 7-day window for any cycle provided above for missed dose. The dosing window for ipilimumab at C1D15 is ±1 day and for C3D1, it is ±3 days.
[00254] Continuation of Therapy
[00255] Subjects may receive XmAb®23104 beyond 2 cycles. For subjects in the ipilimumab group in Expansion (Part B) who continue to receive XmAb®23104 beyond 2 cycles, the fourth and final induction dose of ipilimumab will be given. If XmAb®23104 is discontinued, ipilimumab must also be discontinued such that any remaining doses of ipilimumab, as applicable, would not be administered. For all subjects who continue beyond2 cycles, tumor assessments will be repeated after every 2 cycles of therapy using the same modality.
[00256] Subj ects who experience confirmed disease progression while on treatment with XmAb®23104 but wish to continue receiving the study drug will be re-consented with a separate consent form to ensure they are aware of all treatment options and therapies that they may be foregoing.
[00257] Intra-subject dose escalation is permitted in the study. If a subject tolerates his/her dose level of XmAb®23104 for 6 months (to allow assessment for irAEs that may occur outside the DLT period), no more than 1 DLT has occurred in the cohort at the next higher dose level when all subjects in that cohort have completed the DLT period, the DERC has made the decision that the next higherdose level is tolerable, and the subject meets the specified criteria, he/she may be treated at the higher dose level.
[002581 Subjects will return for follow-up 14, 28, and 90 days after XmAb®23104 discontinuation, unless disease progression requiring initiation of other anti-cancer therapy has occurred before that time.
5.6 Study Drug and Storage
[00259] ICOSxPD-1 antibody
[00260] The ICOSxPD-1 antibody is a humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody (bsAb) that binds both PD1 and ICOS. An ICOSxPD-1 antibody drug product is supplied as a 100 mg vial consisting of a solution of 10 mg/mL ICOSxPD-1 antibody in 20 mM acetate, 250 mM sorbitol at pH 5.5, filled to a volume of 10.0 mb. IV Solution Stabilizer (IVSS), which is used to stabilize ICOSxPD-1 antibody infusions for subjects in the first 3 dose level cohorts, consists of 250 mM sodium citrate, pH 5.5 and 1.0% (w/v) polysorbate-80.
[00261] An ICOSxPD-1 antibody drug product and IVSS are stored under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C. Both an ICOSxPD-1 antibody drug product and IVSS do not contain preservatives and thus opened vials must be used within 24 hours.
[00262] Ipilimumab (Yervoy®)
[00263] Ipilimumab (Yervoy®) is a human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4)- blocking antibody. It is administered at the 1 mg/kg dose as a diluted solution according to the package insert for all tumor type groups in Expansion (Part B) over 90 minutes through an IV line once every 3 weeks. It is supplied as a 50 mg/10 mL (5 mg/mL) solution in a single-dose vial. Each milliliter contains 5 mg of ipilimumab and the following inactive ingredients: diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid, mannitol, polysorbate 80 (vegetable origin), sodium chloride, tris hydrochloride, and Water for Injection, USP at a pH of 7.
[00264] Ipilimumab is stored under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C. It cannot be frozen or shaken and must be protected from light, as per the ipilimumab prescribing information (Yervoy® (ipilimumab) [package insert], Princeton, NJ: Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.; 2020). The diluted solution is stored for no more than 4 hours under refrigeration (2°C to 8°C) or at room temperature (20°C to 25°C).
5.7 Study Drug Preparation and Handling
[00265] ICOSxPD-1 antibody (XmAb®23104) [00266] For administration, an TCOSxPD-1 antibody is diluted to the required final concentration in an infusion bag containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, and the vial containing parenteral drug product is inspected visually. For Cohorts 1-3 in Part A (0.002, 0.02, and 0.06 mg/kg dose levels), IVSS is added to the infusion bag as well.
[00267] After dilution, the bag containing an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is gently inverted 2 to 3 times to mix the solution. The bag must not be shaken, as excess agitation may cause aggregate formation and foaming of IVSS.
[00268] Ipilimumab (Yervay®)
[00269] Ipilimumab injection is a clear to slightly opalescent, colorless to pale-yellow solution that requires dilution for IV infusion. Parenteral drug products are inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration.
[00270] Vials are allowed to stand at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes prior to preparation of infusion. The required volume of ipilimumab is then withdrawn and transferred into an IV infusion bag.
[00271] Ipilimumab is diluted with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or 5% Dextrose Injection, USP to prepare a diluted solution with a final concentration ranging from 1 mg/mL to 2 mg/mL. The diluted solution is mixed by gentle inversion.
5.8 Treatment of Subjects: Administration of Study Treatment
XmAb® 23104
[00272] XmAb®23104 has not been given to humans outside of this study; hence, the toxicity profile associated with this agent is not well known and caution should be exercised as infusion reactions, allergic reactions, or other unexpected reactions may occur.
[00273] Prior to dilution, the vial containing parenteral drug product should be inspected visually. If particulate matter and/or discoloration are noted, drug should not be administered, and the Sponsorshould be notified.
[00274] XmAb®23104 administration should begin as soon as possible after the dosing solution is made. Ifthere is a delay in administration, the dosing solution may be stored at room temperature for no more than 4 hours, or for 24 hours at 2°-8°C prior to infusion (see Pharmacy Manual for additionaldetails). The full, calculated dose will be administered based on the subject’s actual baseline weight measurement in kilograms. A subject’s first dose is based on the Day -1 baseline weight in kilograms. A Cycle 1 Day 1 baseline weight may be used to calculate the first dose per institutional policy; in this case, the Cycle 1 Day 1 baseline weight will be entered in the Day -1 eCRF. Subsequent doses will be modified only if the subject’s weight changes by more than 10%from the baseline weight, at which point the dose will be recalculated using the subject’s current weight. At that time, a new baseline weight will be established such that a subsequent weight change by > 10% from the new baseline weight would require further recalculation of the XmAb®23104 dose.
[00275] XmAb®23104 should not be administered as an iv push or bolus.
[00276] XmAb®23104 will be administered as an open-label solution at a constant rate over a 1-hour period(-5 minutes/+ 15 minutes) by IV infusion. Due to pump accuracy variations, infusions ending within 5 minutes prior to the required 1-hour infusion period will not be considered a deviation.
[00277] Precautions for infusion reactions/anaphylaxis should be observed during XmAb®23104administration. Due to the possibility that allergic/infusion reactions may occur, emergency resuscitation equipment (a “crash cart”) should be present in the immediate area where subjects are receiving their infusions. Additional supportive measures should be available and may include, but are not limited to, the following: acetaminophen, antihistamines, corticosteroids, IV fluids, bronchodilators, epinephrine, vasopressors, diphenhydramine, and oxygen.
[00278] Vital signs will be measured and recorded as follows: preinfusion; during the infusion at 30 minutes from the start time of the infusion; at the end of the infusion (EOI); and at 30 and60 minutes after EOI, then hourly for the remainder of the required observation period of 4 hours.
[00279] All supportive measures consistent with optimal subject care will be provided throughout the studyaccording to institution standards. For subjects who tolerate 3 consecutive infusions without an infusion reaction during the observation period, the post-infusion observation period and vital signs assessment may be reduced from 4 hours to 2 hours.
Ipilimumab (Yervoy®)
[00280] In the Expansion (Part B) dosing groups incorporating ipilimumab, ipilimumab will be administered by IV infusion beginning on Day -7 before the first XmAb®23104 dose at C1D1 and every 3 weeks (in a 28-day cycle) thereafter, following the completion of all required and applicable predose procedures and assessments, for up to 4 total induction doses. On days when both ipilimumab and XmAb®23104 are administered, ipilimumab will be given first;
XmAb®23104will be started 60 minutes after the end of the ipilimumab infusion. Vital signs associated with theipilimumab infusion will be measured and recorded as follows: preinfusion and at 15 minutes (± 2min) after EOI. On ipilimumab-only administration days, the subject may be discharged as soon 15 minutes post-infusion, following the vital signs (and ECG) measurements if stable; on days when both the XmAb®23104 and ipilimumab are administered, the subject may be discharged if stable after the required XmAb®23104 observation period. [00281] Ipilimumab will be administered at a dose of 1 mg/kg over a 90-minute IV infusion. Sites should make every effort to target infusion timing to be as close to 90 minutes as possible. However, giventhe variability of infusion pumps from site to site, a window between -5 minutes and +15 minutesis permitted (i.e., infusion time is 90 minutes [-5 min/+15 min]). For additional information, refer to the ipilimumab prescribing information (Yervoy, Package Insert, 2020, supra).
[00282] The full, calculated dose of ipilimumab will be administered based on the subject’s actual baselineweight measurement in kilograms. A subject’s first dose is based on the Day -7 baseline weight in kilograms. The subject’s weight that is used to calculate the XmAb®23104 dose at C1D15 and C3D1 will be used for both ipilimumab and XmAb®23104 when they are dosed on the same day. On the C2D8 visit when ipilimumab is administered alone, if a subject’s weight has changed by more than 10% from the previous baseline weight (at C1D15), the dose will be recalculated usingthe subject’s current weight.
[00283] Ipilimumab solutions must not be administered as an iv push or bolus injection.
5.9 Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, and Biomarker Assessments
[00284] Serum Sampling for Pharmacokinetic Analyses, Pembrolizumab Level, Nivolumab
Level, Anti-Drug Antibodies, and Cytokines/Inflammatory Factors
[00285] Venous blood samples for serum analyses of ADA and the cytokine panel are obtained according to the schedule listed in Table 5A and Table 5B. ADA samples may also be analyzed for soluble factors such as soluble PD-1 and soluble ICOS that can interfere with the assay. Venous blood samples for analyses of PK are obtained according to the times specified in Table 6 Table 5A. Schedule of Assessments for Parts A and B

A second fresh tumor biopsy (mandatory for Part B subjects) is obtained on Day 21-28 of Cycle 1 and should come from the same site as the screening biopsy unless there are patient safety concerns or issue with tissue availability. Biopsies of tumors should occur on non-target lesions, if feasible. For Part A, subjects need to specifically consent to having this optional biopsy at both time points However, if archival tumor sample is not available or is insufficient, the screening tumor biopsy to provide a fresh tumor sample in lieu of the archival tissue becomes mandatory for study participation. For Part B, it is mandatory; if a subject declines, the subject is not be able to participate in the study. Leftover tissue from the fresh tumor biopsy sample may be saved for biobanking. Biobanking is optional and requires specific subject consent. b Complete medical history and PE at screening. For all the other time points an abbreviated, symptom-directed history and PE is to be performed. c Supine BP and pulse rate, body temperature, respiratory rate. On days of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody infusions, vital signs should be taken preinfusion and 30 minutes after start of infusion (±10 min), at the end of infusion (EOI) (±5 min), and 30 and 60 minutes after EOI (±10 min), then hourly (±10 min) after EOI for the remainder of the required observation period. On days of ipilimumab infusions, vital signs associated with the ipilimumab dosing should be taken preinfusion and 15 min (±2 min) after the EOI of ipilimumab
All vital signs during infusion should be taken with subject in the same position. Subjects are observed for at least 4 hours following the end of the first 3 an ICOSxPD-1 antibody infusions. The observation period and vital signs assessments may be decreased to 2 hour's if there are no infusion reactions for 3 consecutive an ICOSxPD-1 antibody infusions. Subjects may be discharged at the end of the observation period if stable: as soon as 15 min after the ipilimumab EOI, following the ECG and vital signs measurements on ipilimumab -only days or following the required an ICOSxPD-1 antibody observation period when an ICOSxPD-1 antibody is also administered. d On dosing days in Part A of the study, ECGs should be performed prior to infusion, within 5-30 minutes after EOI , and if clinically indicated. On dosing days in the first 2 cycles of therapy of Part B, ECGs should be performed prior to infusion, within 5-30 minutes after EOI , and if clinically indicated for both ipilimumab and the ICOSxPD-1 antibody, as applicable;. On dosing days after the first 2 cycles of therapy in Part A and Part B, ECGs should be performed prior to ipilimumab and an ICOSxPD-1 antibody infusion, as applicable. Day -1 ECG is not needed as long as one is completed during Screening for eligibility review and at Cycle 1 Day 1 preinfusion. e May be performed up to 24 hours prior to infusion. The following procedures that are completed on Day -1 within 24 hours of Cycle 1 Day 1 dosing do not need to be repeated on Cycle 1 Day 1 : PE, ECOG, and local safety laboratories (eg, CBC with differential and platelets, chemistry panel, coagulation panel, and urinalysis). These safety' testing are performed by both the central laboratory and local clinical site laboratories to allow review of the results by clinical site personnel before an ICOSxPD-1 antibody infusion Local “safety” tests are per institutional practice; these local laboratory results may be used for decisions on dosing. Similarly, these Day -7 procedures (PE, ECOG, safety laboratory sampling) may be performed up to 24 hours prior to infusion if it is per institutional practice. f Once postmenopausal status has been established by FSH, this test need not be repeated during the clinical trial. g May be performed up to 4 weeks prior to screening

For Cycles 3 through 12 (samples are not required at Cycle 13 and higher), ADA sampling is performed on Day 15 only. Subjects with a positive ADA at termination are followed every 28 days (± 3 days), if feasible, until ADA reverts to baseline or until the next intervening treatment. n This sampling needs to be performed predose for the first dose of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2 and subsequent cycles within 2 days, if applicable, only for those subjects who have previously received pembrolizumab or nivolumab within 24 weeks. Samples are not required at Cycle 13 and higher.
0 Tumor assessment (including radiologic imaging) per RECIST (RECIST 1.1, iRECIST, and imRECIST) at baseline, at the end of Cycle 2, and at the end of every second cycle of treatment thereafter. All studies for the baseline assessment should be performed within 14 days prior to the first dose of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in Escalation (Part A) or 21 days prior if assigned to monotherapy in Expansion (Part B): 14 days prior to first dose of ipilimumab if assigned to combination therapy in Expansion (Part B). EOT assessment should be performed only if such an assessment has not been performed in the past 60 days. A baseline assessment performed within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug, but prior to the signing of the informed consent, may be utilized. On-treatment assessments should be performed on a calendar schedule and not be affected by delays or adjustments in treatment. p Dosing days for Cycle 2 and higher have a window of ±3 days; the 14-day, 28-day, and 90-day post-EOT visits have a window of ± 3 days; the 6 and 12 months post-EOT follow-up is ±7 days. q PK samples on Day 15 at the 3-hour and 10-hour time points are collected at Cycle 2 only; PK samples on Days 16, 17, and 22 are collected at Cycle 2 only. r The screening window for Escalation (Part A) is from Day -28 to -2; for Expansion (Part B), it is from Day -35 to -9. s In Expansion (Part B), applicable for subjects randomized to the ipilimumab combination arm only.

On visits where An ICOSxPD-1 antibody and ipilimumab are dosed on the same day, pre-dose PK to be done before ipilimumab.
[00286] Pharmacokinetics
[00287] Samples for PK analysis are collected at the times specified in Tables 5A, 5B, and 6.
The exact time and date of the blood draw must be accurately recorded using an unambiguous format such as DD MMM YYYY and HH:MM on a 24-hour clock.
[00288] Serum samples for measurement of pembrolizumab or nivolumab levels are collected at the times specified in Table 4 for all subjects who have previously been treated with pembrolizumab or nivolumab, respectively.
[00289] Pharmacodynamics in Peripheral Blood and Tumor
[00290] Baseline and serial assessment of inflammatory indices are examined in peripheral venous blood. Inflammatory indices measured longitudinally include serological assessment of soluble factors, ribonucleic acid (RNA) assays and flow cytometric analysis for a) receptor occupancy, b) immune cell numbers (T/B/NK assay) and c) T-cell subset activation/proliferation. [002911 Archival, pre- and post- An ICOSxPD-1 antibody fresh tumor biopsies (fresh biopsies are optional for Part A subjects who have adequate archival tumor tissue and mandatory for Part B subjects) are to be examined by the following: immunohistological characterization of the tumor immune infdtrate and expression of immunomodulators, including ICOS and PD-1/PD-L1 and other immunoregulatory markers of activation and proliferation; by transcriptional RNA inflammatory signatures, and by next generation sequencing analysis of mutational burden.
[00292] The sampling schedule for these assessments is shown in Tables 5A, 5B, and 6. The initial biomarkers being explored in this study are shown in Table 7.
Table 7. Biomarkers
Figure imgf000105_0001
Figure imgf000106_0001
[00293] Biobanking Samples
[00294] Fresh tumor biopsies and peripheral blood are collected as biomarker samples. On treatment biomarker samples are compared with baseline biomarker samples for inflammatory changes in the TME that might inform (1) use of baseline material to predict response to An ICOSxPD-1 antibody and (2) use of potential combination therapies to overcome mechanisms of resistance. DNA, RNA, and protein levels are used from the biomarker samples to assess the interaction of the tumor and its microenvironment. An ICOSxPD-1 antibody aims to enlist T cells to kill tumor cells, so the studies focus on both the oncogenic characteristics of the tumor cells and the expression of immunomodulatory genes and proteins on both the tumor cell target and the immune cells that contribute to killing, which include T cells and other cells of the antitumor inflammatory response.
5.10 Assessment of Efficacy
[00295] The objective of these analyses is to explore in a preliminary manner the effects of An ICOSxPD-1 antibody when administered repeatedly across a range of dose levels, as monotherapy or in combination with ipilimumab, and at the final MTD or RD.
[00296] The assessment of anti -tumor effects of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody, as monotherapy or in combination with ipilimumab, is based on response criteria defined in RECIST 1.1 and in imRECIST and iRECIST (refer to Table 8).
[00297] The number and percentage of subjects achieving a best response of complete response (CR; confirmed and unconfirmed), partial response (PR; confirmed and unconfirmed), stable disease (SD), PD, and not evaluable is presented.
[00298] Preliminary anti -turn or activity using RECIST 1.1, imRECIST, and iRECIST assessment as well as aggregate data for all subjects for ORR, best overall response rates, PFS, and DOR.
[00299] The ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects who achieved an overall response of PR or better, confirmed or not confirmed. The number and percent of subjects who achieved ORR is summarized. Two-sided exact 95% Cis for the ORR is determined using the binomial distribution. The duration of objective response is calculated from the time of initial response (PR or better) to the first documentation of relapse (recurrence after CR) or progression (after PR).
[00300] The efficacy population is used for summary of ORRs, best overall responses, PFS, and DOR. Additional sensitivity analyses using the evaluable population may be performed. [00301] Depending on the completeness of the available follow-up data, an analysis of PFS, measured relative to Day 1, is performed based on the Kaplan-Meier method. Median time and its 95% CI, as well as the 25th and 75th quartiles with their 95% CI, is summarized. Progression is determined using the criteria described in RECIST 1.1, imRECIST, and iRECIST. The date of progression is defined as the date of progression or death. The date of censoring for subjects who end the study without documented progression correspond to the date the last tumor assessment was performed. Subjects who terminated from study without postbaseline tumor assessment are censored at Day 1.
[00302] The potential anti -tumor effects of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody may also be evaluated in other subgroups of subjects.

5.12 Results
[00304] Subjects treated with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure are expected to have improved therapeutic outcomes compared to subjects treated with another TCOSxPD-1 antibody and/or subjects treated with another suitable therapy for a solid tumor.
EXAMPLE 2 - A Phase 1 multiple-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody in patients with selected advanced solid tumors
[00305] A phase 1 study is conducted to assess the safety and tolerability profde of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure in patients with advanced solid tumors and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The expansion part of the study enrolls patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sarcoma, melanoma, and clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Results showed that an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g, XmAb®23104) was well tolerated and exhibited a distinct safety profde compared to other clinical ICOS programs. Secondary objectives were designed to assess pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity.
Methods
[00306] An ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) was administered biweekly and RECIST 1.1 assessment was performed every 8 weeks (FIG. 3). A 3+3 monotherapy dose escalation with 9 dose levels from 0.002 to 15 mg/kg was performed. Patients with measurable disease who progressed on prior standard therapy were eligible. However, a minimum of 6-week washout from prior pembrolizumab treatment was required.
Key Inclusion Criteria
[00307] Histological or cytological confirmation of an advanced solid tumor; measurable disease by RECIST 1.1; disease progression on standard of care therapy; and ECOG 0 or 1.
Key Exclusion Criteria: [00308] Prior TCOS therapy; grade 4 related adverse event from prior immunotherapy; active CNS involvement; and active known or suspected autoimmune disease.
Overview
[00309] At the data cut off on April 15, 2022, 62 patients were treated in nine dose-escalation cohorts escalating from 0.002 mg/kg to 15 mg/kg of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) administered every other week in four-week cycles (Table 11). Subjects were a median age of 63 years and had a median of three prior systemic therapies. The demographics of the patients, baseline characteristics, and patient disposition are shown in Table 12, Table 13, and Table 14, respectively. 62.9% of patients had received at least one prior checkpoint therapy, and 91.9% of the patients had Stage IV disease. Patients had the following primary tumor types: CRC (n=14), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (n=8), soft tissue sarcoma (n=8), melanoma (n=6), HNSCC (n=5), RCC (n=4), endometrial cancer (n=2), NSCLC (n=2), and other solid tumor types (n=8). Of the patients with CRC, eight were microsatellite stable (MSS) and three were microsatellite instable (MSI). Most patients had tumors generally not considered to be sensitive to checkpoint inhibition.

Safety and Tolerability
[00310] Safety was evaluated in all 62 patients (refer to Table 15, Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, Table 19, and FIG. 4). ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) was well tolerated through the highest tested dose cohort. It was observed that treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) were mostly mild. Thirty-seven subjects (59.7%) experienced a treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) and/or a treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) (Table 15 and Table 16, respectively). The most common TRAEs (>5 patients) were decreased appetite (9.7%), diarrhea (9.7%), fatigue (9.7%) and maculopapular rash (8.1%). Six patients (9.7%) had a Grade 3 or higher TRAE (Table 17). Two patients (3.2%) experienced serious TRAEs, including a Grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia and a Grade 4 asymptomatic lipase increase; both events resolved with prednisone. Grade 3 and higher TEAEs are shown in Table 18. There were no significant differences in Grade >3 AEs for subjects with or without ADA responses. Thirteen immunotherapy -related adverse events (irAEs) occurred in 8 patients; no individual irAE occurred in more than 1 patient (Table 19). Most irAEs were mild (Grades 1 and 2) with 1 Grade 3 pruritus and 1 asymptomatic Grade 4 lipase elevation. Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) showed no relationship to dose level. Four patients (6.5%) discontinued from the study due to an adverse event. Nineteen subjects (30.6%) experienced serious adverse events (SAEs). SAEs reported for more than one subject were acute kidney injury and small intestinal obstruction (n=2 each). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and the MTD was not reached. The recommended dose for continued study, based on feasibility of administration at higher dose levels and a review of safety data, was determined to be 10 mg/kg. However, other doses are contemplated for use in the methods provided elsewhere herein. Table 15. Treatment Related Adverse Events in >1 Patient

Clinical Activity Highlights
[00311] The efficacy analysis included 51 evaluable patients who received any amount of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody (e.g., XmAb®23104) and had at least one post-baseline assessment by RECIST 1.1. At data cut-off, partial responses were observed in 3 patients (sarcoma, prior PD-1 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [HNSCC], and renal cell carcinoma [RCC]) and stable disease > 12 months was observed in 2 subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC; 2 MST-H). A dose of 10 mg/kg was selected after consideration of PK, safety, and clinical activity data and continues to be evaluated in the expansion part of the study. Two confirmed partial responses (PR), one unconfirmed PR, and stable disease was observed as below:
• A patient with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, who was immunotherapy naive, presented with two target lesions in the lung and a subpleural lingular nodule (FIG. 7A). The patient had previous radiation and surgery, but no prior disease specific therapy. The patient was enrolled into the 0.2 mg/kg cohort and dose escalated to 0.6 mg/kg (Cycle 7, Day 1). The nodule completely resolved, and a single non-target lesion remained in the lung. The patient had partial response at Cycle 2, Day 26 and is in Cycle 33 (about 28 months).
• A patient with clear cell RCC, who had previously received treatment with pembrolizumab/axitinib, presented with two target lesions in the ribs, one target lesion in a lymph node, and a non-target lesion in bone (FIG. 7B). The patient was treated at the 10 mg/kg dose. A partial response was observed at the end of Cycle 2, and the patient is in Cycle 12.
• A patient with HNSCC, who had received treatment with pembrolizumab, was enrolled into the 1.8 mg/kg dose cohort (FIG. 7C). Prior therapies also included neo-adjuvant nivolumab, cisplatin, nivolumab, GAL-3 inhibitor, and recent (2 months) pembrolizumab. The patient experienced disease progression on all prior therapies. Two target lesions in the lung were identified, and the patient experienced a partial response at the end of Cycle 2 (Cycle 2, Day 26). The patient progressed after 4 cycles of treatment.
• Two patients with CRC experienced durable stable disease for over 20 months, both ongoing.
A patient with microsatellite instability high (MSI-H)-CRC was treated at an initial dose of 1.8 mg/kg and dose escalated to 10 mg/kg (e.g, 1.8 mg/kg, 5.4 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg). Laboratory results indicated a decrease in the tumor marker CEA over time. This subject was heavily pretreated with 5 lines of prior therapies including a complete response on FOLFOX and stable disease on pembrolizumab. Five target lesions were identified and stable disease has been observed for over 2 years. This subject escalated to 5.4 mg/kg at C7D1 then to 10 mg/kg at Cl 3D 1. The subject experienced a Grade 3 small bowel obstruction and other mild adverse events, none of which were reported as related to study drug.
- A second patient, with (MSI-H) CRC, was treated at the 10 mg/kg dose and is in Cycle 22 with no related AEs > grade 1. The second patient progressed on all prior therapies including FOLFOX + bevacizumab, nivolumab/ipilimumab, and maintenance nivolumab. The second patient has been stable for 22 months after treatment with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104). Thi subject experienced mild adverse events (Grade 1) none of which are reported as related to study drug.
Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacokinetics Assessments
[00312] The PK analysis indicated a linear and dose-proportional profile (FIGS. 5A-5C). The mean serum half-life of an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) was estimated to be 10.6 days. A high incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA) responses were observed, but no impact on PK was observed at doses higher than 0.06 mg/kg. Biomarker analyses indicated complete receptor saturation on peripheral T cells beginning at the 0.6 mg/kg dose level (FIG. 6).
Summary of results
[00313] XmAb®23104 is a bispecific antibody targeting T cells that simultaneously express PD-1, an immune checkpoint, and ICOS, a costimulatory molecule expressed after T cell activation. DUET-3 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose-escalation and expansion study in subjects with advanced solid tumors, designed to assess safety, tolerability and to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of XmAb®23104. Secondary objectives are to assess pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity. Preliminary data is provided from a 3+3 monotherapy dose escalation with 9 dose levels from 0.002 to 15 mg/kg, which has been completed.
[00314] Subjects with measurable disease who progressed on prior standard therapy were eligible A minimum 6-week washout from prior pembrolizumab was required XmAb®23104 was administered biweekly and RECIST 1.1 assessment was performed every 8 weeks. [00315] Sixty -two subjects were treated in escalation at doses up to 15 mg/kg; no doselimiting toxicides were observed and an MTD was not reached. These subjects had advanced disease, 92% were Stage IV at screening, the median number of prior therapies was 3, and 37% had previous checkpoint therapy. Thirty-seven subjects (59.7%) experienced a treatment-related adverse event (TRAE); the most common were diarrhea (9.7%), decreased appetite (9.7%), and fatigue (9.7%). The majority of TRAEs were Grades 1 or 2, with 6 subjects (9.7%) having a Grade 3 or higher TRAE. Thirteen immunotherapy -related adverse events (irAEs) occurred in 8 subjects; no individual irAE occurred in more than 1 subject. Most irAEs were mild (Grades 1 and 2) with 1 Grade 3 pruritus and 1 asymptomatic Grade 4 lipase elevation.
[00316] Partial responses were observed in 3 subjects (sarcoma; prior PD-1 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [HNSCC] and renal cell carcinoma [RCC]), and stable disease > 12 months was observed in 2 subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC; both MSI-H). A dose of 10 mg/kg was selected after consideration of PK, safety, and clinical activity data in consultation with the investigators and continues to be evaluated in the expansion part of the study.
Conclusions
[00317] In preclinical studies, it was observed that dual blockade of PD-1 and ICOS with an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) significantly enhanced T cell proliferation and activation, and anti -tumor activity in vivo. The ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) provides for dual checkpoint inhibition and such co-stimulation reduces the need for multiple antibodies while allowing for more selective targeting of T cells with high target expression, which can potentially improve the therapeutic index of combination immunotherapies.
[00318] The dose escalation part of this study indicated that an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) was well tolerated at doses up to 15 mg/kg (doses ranging from 0.002 to 15 mg/kg) and showed clinical activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.
[00319] In brief, results showed that no dose limiting toxicides (DLTs) were observed, that MTD was not reached, that a maximum feasible dose of 10 mg/kg was selected as the recommended dose based on safety profile and clinical activity, and that there was no significant differences in Grade >3 AEs for patients with or without ADA. Immune-related adverse event (irAE) were reported for a limited percentage of patients (predominantly Grades 1 and 2) and showed no relationship to dose. Results also showed that partial responses to therapy were observed at doses as low as 0.2 mg/kg and in different tumor types. PK data showed that PK was linear and exposure was not affected by recent prior pembrolizumab treatment (presence of ADA did not affect exposure at doses higher than 0.06 mg/kg). Further, target engagement was observed at 0.2 mg/kg (65%) and was saturated (100%) at 0.6 mg/kg and higher doses. Overall, results showed that an ICOSxPD-1 antibody of the disclosure (e.g., XmAb®23104) is effective in treating advanced solid tumor types including HNSCC, NSCLC, CRC, sarcoma, melanoma, and ccRCC.
[00320] XmAb®23104 is currently being studied alone or in combination with ipilimumab in an expansion portion of the study for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sarcoma, melanoma and clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and is randomizing patients 1 : 1 to receive 10 mg/kg intravenous XmAblO4 every two weeks as monotherapy or in combination with ipilimumab to increase the frequency of ICOS-expressing T cells in multiple solid tumor types.
