FIELD
The embodiments provided herein relate to compositions targeting cells to regulate an immune response.
BACKGROUND
FcyRIip is the only FcyR expressed on B cells (Smith, K. G. C., and Clatworthy, M. R., Nat Rev Immunol. 2010 May; 10(5): 328-343). Interaction of the antibody Fc region with FcyRIip has been reported to suppress the primary immune response of B cells (Smith, K. G. C., and Clatworthy, M. R., Nat Rev Immunol. 2010 May; 10(5): 328-343). Furthermore, it is reported that when FcyRIip on B cells and a B cell receptor (BCR) are cross-linked via an immune complex in blood, B cell activation is suppressed, and antibody production by B cells is suppressed IgGl, mainly used as a commercially available therapeutic antibody, is known to bind not only to FcyRIip, but also strongly to activating FcyR. It may be possible to develop therapeutic antibodies having greater immunosuppressive properties compared with those of IgGl, by utilizing an Fc region with enhanced FcyRIip binding, or improved FcyRIip-binding selectivity compared with activating FcyR. Accordingly, an antibody having an Fc with improved FcyRIip-binding activity is suggested to be promising as a therapeutic agent for inflammatory diseases such as autoimmune diseases. The embodiments provided for herein fulfill these needs as well as others. SUMMARY

As provided herein, the compounds and compositions provided for herein can be used in methods of treatment as provided herein. As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treated,” or “treating” mean both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic measures wherein the object is to slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological condition, disorder or disease, or obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. For purposes of these embodiments, beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; diminishment of extent of condition, disorder or disease; stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of condition, disorder or disease; delay in onset or slowing of condition, disorder or disease progression; amelioration of the condition, disorder or disease state or remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable; an amelioration of at least one measurable physical parameter, not necessarily discernible by the patient; or enhancement or improvement of condition, disorder or disease. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without excessive levels of side effects. Treatment also includes prolonging survival, as applicable for a specific disease, as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Thus, “treatment of an autoimmune condition” or “treating autoimmunity” means an activity that alleviates or ameliorates any of the primary phenomena or secondary symptoms associated with the autoimmune condition other condition described herein when the terms “treat,” “treated,” or “treating” are used in conjunction with such condition.

Variant Fc Molecules
As used herein, "isotype" refers to the immunoglobulin class (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM, IgAl, IgA2, IgD, and IgE antibody) that is encoded by the heavy chain constant domain genes. The full-length amino acid sequence of each wild type human IgG constant region (including all domains, i.e., CHI domain, hinge, CH2 domain, and CH3 domain) is cataloged in the UniProt database available on-line, e.g., as P01857 (IgGl), P01859 (IgG2), P01860 (IgG3), and P01861 (IgG4), or different allotypes thereof (SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively). As used herein, a domain of a heavy chain constant region, e.g., the hinge, is of an "IgGl isotype," "TgG2 isotype," "IgG3 isotype," or "IgG4 isotype," if the domain comprises the amino acid sequence of the corresponding domain of the respective isotype, or a variant thereof (that has a higher homology to the corresponding domain of the respective isotype than it does to that of the other isotypes).
“Allotype” refers to naturally occurring variants within a specific isotype group, which variants differ in a few amino acids (see, e.g., Jefferies et al. (2009) mAbs 1 :1). Molecules described herein may be of any allotype.
A “wild-type” protein or portion thereof is a version of the protein as it is found in nature. An amino acid sequence of a wild-type protein, e.g., a heavy chain constant region, is the amino acid sequence of the protein as it occurs in nature. Due to allotypic differences, there can be more than one amino acid sequence for a wild-type protein. For example, there are several allotypes of naturally occurring human IGgl heavy chain constant regions (e.g., Jeffries et al. (2009) mAbs 1: 1).
An immunoglobulin may be from any of the commonly known isotypes, including but not limited to IgA, secretory IgA, IgG and IgM. The IgG isotype is divided in subclasses in certain species: IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 in humans, and IgGl, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3 in mice. In certain embodiments, the antibodies described herein are of the human IgGl or IgG2 subtype. Immunoglobulins, e.g., human IgGl, exist in several allotypes, which differ from each other in at most a few amino acids.
In some embodiments, the IgG proteins (hinge region underlined) are as provided in Table 1.
Figure imgf000008_0001
Figure imgf000009_0001
An "Fc region" (fragment crystallizable region) or "Fc domain" or "Fc" refers to the C- terminal region of the heavy chain of an antibody that mediates the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including binding to Fc receptors located on various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) or to the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system. Thus, an Fc region of an antibody of isotype IgG comprises the heavy chain constant region of the antibody excluding the first constant region immunoglobulin domain (CHI). In IgG, IgA and IgD antibody isotypes, the Fc region comprises CH2 and CH3 constant domains in each of the antibody’s two heavy chains; IgM and IgE Fc regions comprise three heavy chain constant domains (CH domains 2-4) in each polypeptide chain. For IgG, the Fc region comprises immunoglobulin domains consisting of the hinge, CH2 and CH3. For purposes herein, the Fc region is defined as starting at amino acid 216 and ending at amino acid 447, wherein the numbering is according to the EU index as in Kabat. Kabat et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, and according to FIGs.3c-3f of U.S. Pat. App. Pub. No.2008/0248028. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises the hinge region. The Fc may be a native (or naturally-occurring or wild-type) Fc, including any allotypic variant, or a variant Fc (e.g., a non- naturally occurring Fc), comprising, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1-5, 1-10 or 5-10 or more amino acid mutations, e.g., substitutions, additions or deletions. For example, a variant Fc may comprise an amino acid sequence that is at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical to a wild-type Fc. Modified or mutated Fes may have enhanced or reduced effector function and/or half-life. Fc may refer to this region in isolation or in the context of an Fc-comprising protein polypeptide such as a “binding protein comprising an Fc region,” also referred to as an “Fc fusion protein” (e.g., an antibody or immunoadhesin). In some embodiments, modified or variant Fc molecules have enhanced binding to FcyRIip.
A "hinge", "hinge domain" or "hinge region" or "antibody hinge region" refers to the domain of a heavy chain constant region that joins the CHI domain to the CH2 domain and includes the upper, middle, and lower portions of the hinge (Roux et al. J. Immunol.1998 161 :4083). The hinge provides varying levels of flexibility between the binding and effector regions of an antibody and also provides sites for intermolecular disulfide bonding between the two heavy chain constant regions. The term “hinge” includes wild-type hinges, as well as variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally-occurring hinges or modified hinges). For example, the term “IgGl hinge” includes wild-type IgGl hinge, as shown below, and variants having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1-3, 1-5, 3-5 and/or at most 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 mutations, e.g., substitutions, deletions or additions. In some embodiments, the hinge regions are as provided in Table 2.
Figure imgf000010_0001
The aligned sequences of wild-type IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 relevant hinge amino acid residues (amino acid residues 226 to 238 of wild-type IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4) are shown below.
IgGl : CPPCPAPELLGGP ( SEQ ID NO : 15 )
IgG2: CPPCPAPPVAG-P ( SEQ ID NO : 16 )
IgG3: CPRCPAPELLGGP ( SEQ ID NO : 17 )
IgG4: CPSCPAPEFLGGP ( SEQ ID NO : 18 )
The term “CHI domain” refers to the heavy chain constant region linking the variable domain to the hinge in a heavy chain constant domain. As used herein, a CHI domain includes wild type CHI domains, as well as variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally-occurring CHI domains or modified CHI domains). As used herein, CHI domain includes amino acid residues 1-98 of IgGl; 1-98 of IgG2; 1-98 of IgG3; and 1-98 of IgG4. For example, the term “CHI domain” includes wild-type CHI domains and variants thereof having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1-3, 1-5, 3-5 and/or at most 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 mutations, e.g., substitutions, deletions or additions.
The term “CH2 domain” refers to the heavy chain constant region linking the hinge to the CH3 domain in a heavy chain constant domain. As used herein, a CH2 domain includes wildtype CH2 domains, as well as variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally-occurring CH2 domains or modified CH2 domains). As used herein, CH2 domain includes amino acid residues 111-223 of IgGl; 111-219 of IgG2; 161-270 of IgG3; and 111-220 of IgG4. For example, the term “CH2 domain” includes wild-type CH2 domains and variants thereof having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1-3, 1-5, 3-5 and/or at most 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 mutations, e.g., substitutions, deletions or additions.
The term “CH3 domain” refers to the heavy chain constant region that is C-terminal to the CH2 domain in a heavy chain constant domain. As used herein, a CH3 domain includes wildtype CH3 domains, as well as variants thereof (e.g., non-naturally- occurring CH3 domains or modified CH3 domains). As used herein, CH3 domain includes amino acid residues 224-330 of IgGl; 220-326 of IgG2; 271-376 of IgG3; and 226-322 of IgG4. For example, the term “CH3 domain” includes wild-type CH3 domains and variants thereof having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1-3, 1-5, 3-5 and/or at most 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 mutations, e.g., substitutions, deletions or additions.
In some embodiments, the hinge/CH2 domain has a sequence such as those provided in Table 3 below.
Figure imgf000011_0001
Without being bound to a particular theory, mutation, or isotype swapping, of the entire hinge region or CH2 region, or certain portions of a hinge region or CH2 region in an IgGl results in the modified IgGl having enhanced or altered properties relative to the IgGl with a wild-type TgGl constant region.

In some embodiments, the variant IgG Fc polypeptides provided herein can be conjugated to effector domains and/or antibodies. Antibody molecule, as that term is used herein, refers to a polypeptide, e.g., an immunoglobulin chain or fragment thereof, comprising at least one functional immunoglobulin variable domain sequence. An antibody molecule encompasses antibodies (e.g., full-length antibodies) and antibody fragments. In some embodiments, an antibody molecule comprises an antigen binding or functional fragment of a full length antibody, or a full length immunoglobulin chain. For example, a full-length antibody is an immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule (e.g., an IgG antibody) that is naturally occurring or formed by normal immunoglobulin gene fragment recombinatorial processes). In embodiments, an antibody molecule refers to an immunologically active, antigen-binding portion of an immunoglobulin molecule, such as an antibody fragment. An antibody fragment, e.g., functional fragment, comprises a portion of an antibody, e.g., Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, F(ab)2, variable fragment (Fv), domain antibody (dAb), or single chain variable fragment (scFv). A functional antibody fragment binds to the same antigen as that recognized by the intact (e.g., full-length) antibody. The terms “antibody fragment” or “functional fragment” also include isolated fragments consisting of the variable regions, such as the “Fv” fragments consisting of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains or recombinant single chain polypeptide molecules in which light and heavy variable regions are connected by a peptide linker (“scFv proteins”). In some embodiments, an antibody fragment does not include portions of antibodies without antigen binding activity, such as Fc fragments or single amino acid residues. Exemplary antibody molecules include full length antibodies and antibody fragments, e.g., dAb (domain antibody), single chain, Fab, Fab’, and F(ab’)2 fragments, and single chain variable fragments (scFvs).
The term “antibody molecule” also encompasses whole or antigen binding fragments of domain, or single domain, antibodies, which can also be referred to as “sdAb” or “VHH.” Domain antibodies comprise either VH or VL that can act as stand-alone, antibody fragments. Additionally, domain antibodies include heavy-chain-only antibodies (HCAbs). Domain antibodies also include a CH2 domain of an IgG as the base scaffold into which CDR loops are grafted. It can also be generally defined as a polypeptide or protein comprising an amino acid sequence that is comprised of four framework regions interrupted by three complementarity determining regions. This is represented as FR1- CDR1 -FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. sdAbs can be produced in camelids such as llamas, but can also be synthetically generated using techniques that are well known in the art. The numbering of the amino acid residues of a sdAb or polypeptide is according to the general numbering for VH domains given by Kabat et al. ("Sequence of proteins of immunological interest," US Public Health Services, NIH Bethesda, MD, Publication No. 91, which is hereby incorporated by reference). According to this numbering, FR1 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 1-30, CDR1 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 31-36, FR2 of a sdAb comprises the amino acids at positions 36-49, CDR2 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 50-65, FR3 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 66- 94, CDR3 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 95-102, and FR4 of a sdAb comprises the amino acid residues at positions 103-113. Domain antibodies are also described in W02004041862 and WO2016065323, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference. The domain antibodies can be a targeting moiety as described herein.
Antibody molecules can be monospecific (e.g., monovalent or bivalent), bispecific (e.g., bivalent, trivalent, tetravalent, pentavalent, or hexavalent), trispecific (e.g., trivalent, tetravalent, pentavalent, hexavalent), or with higher orders of specificity (e.g, tetraspecific) and/or higher orders of valency beyond hexavalency. An antibody molecule can comprise a functional fragment of a light chain variable region and a functional fragment of a heavy chain variable region, or heavy and light chains may be fused together into a single polypeptide. Effector, as that term is used herein, refers to an entity, e.g., a cell or molecule, e.g., a soluble or cell surface molecule, which mediates an immune response. In some embodiments, the effector is an antibody. In some embodiments, the effectors binding domains as provided for herein, refers to a polypeptide (e.g.) that has sufficient binding specificity that it can bind the effector with sufficient specificity that it can serve as an effector binding/modulating molecule. In some embodiments, it binds to effector with at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 95% of the affinity of the naturally occurring counter-ligand. In some embodiments, it has at least 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, 99, or 100% sequence identity ,or substantial sequence identity, with a naturally occurring counter-ligand for the effector.
Elevated risk, as used herein, refers to the risk of a disorder in a subject, wherein the subject has one or more of a medical history of the disorder or a symptom of the disorder, a biomarker associated with the disorder or a symptom of the disorder, or a family history of the disorder or a symptom of the disorder.
In some embodiments, the inhibitory effector binding domain can be referred to as an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule. This can refer to a polypeptide that can bind to the checkpoint molecule and agonize its cognate inhibitory activity. For example, the antibody can be an anti-PD-1 antibody that binds to PD-1 and agonizes its activity. In some embodiments, the antibody inhibits the inhibitory checkpoint activity, such that it antagonizes the inhibitory activity. For example, the antibody can be an anti-PD-1 antibody that binds to PD-1 and antagonizes its activity. The same can be done if the target is any of the inhibitory receptors, such as those provided for herein. In some embodiments, the inhibitory checkpoint receptor is LAG-3.
The domains can have similarity to those as provided for herein or those that are incorporated by reference. Sequence identity, percentage identity, and related terms, as those terms are used herein, refer to the relatedness of two sequences, e.g., two nucleic acid sequences or two amino acid or polypeptide sequences. In the context of an amino acid sequence, the term "substantially identical" is used herein to refer to a first amino acid that contains a sufficient or minimum number of amino acid residues that are i) identical to, or ii) conservative substitutions of aligned amino acid residues in a second amino acid sequence such that the first and second amino acid sequences can have a common structural domain and/or common functional activity. For example, amino acid sequences that contain a common structural domain having at least about 85%, 90%. 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity to a reference sequence, e.g., an amino acid sequence provided herein.
In the context of nucleotide sequence, such as those encoding for the domains, the term "substantially identical" is used herein to refer to a first nucleic acid sequence that contains a sufficient or minimum number of nucleotides that are identical to aligned nucleotides in a second nucleic acid sequence such that the first and second nucleotide sequences encode a polypeptide having common functional activity, or encode a common structural polypeptide domain or a common functional polypeptide activity. For example, nucleotide sequences having at least about 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity to a reference sequence, e.g., an amino acid sequence provided herein.
The term “functional variant” refers to polypeptides that have a substantially identical amino acid sequence to the naturally-occurring sequence, or are encoded by a substantially identical nucleotide sequence, and are capable of having one or more activities of the naturally- occurring sequence. For example, a Fc variant can have the amino acid sequence of a Fc domain but comprise a mutation that affects its binding to the FcvRIIa or FcyRIIb receptor.
Calculations of homology or sequence identity between sequences (the terms are used interchangeably herein) can be performed as follows.
To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences, or of two nucleic acid sequences, the amino acid sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment and non-homologous sequences can be disregarded for comparison purposes). In a preferred embodiment, the length of a reference sequence aligned for comparison purposes is at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, more preferably at least 50%, 60%, and even more preferably at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid positions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position (as used herein amino acid or nucleic acid "identity" is equivalent to amino acid or nucleic acid "homology"). The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the amino acid sequences, taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences.
The comparison of sequences and determination of percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. In a preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:444-453 ) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at http://www.gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In yet another preferred embodiment, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences is determined using the GAP program in the GCG software package (available at http://www.gcg.com), using aNWSgapdna.CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. A particularly preferred set of parameters (and the one that should be used unless otherwise specified) are a Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extend penalty of 4, and a frameshift gap penalty of 5.
The percent identity between two amino acid or nucleotide sequences can be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller ((1989) CABIOS, 4: 11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4.
The nucleic acid and protein sequences described herein can be used as a "query sequence" to perform a search against public databases to, for example, identify other family members or related sequences. Such searches can be performed using the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (version 2.0) of Altschul, et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST program, score = 100, wordlength = 12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to for example any a nucleic acid sequence provided herein. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score = 50, wordlength = 3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to protein molecules provided herein. To obtain gapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilized as described in Altschul et al., (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402. When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used. See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. ov. As used herein, the term “hybridizes under low stringency, medium stringency, high stringency, or very high stringency conditions” describes conditions for hybridization and washing. Guidance for performing hybridization reactions can be found in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. (1989), 6.3.1-6.3.6, which is incorporated by reference. Aqueous and nonaqueous methods are described in that reference and either can be used. Specific hybridization conditions referred to herein are as follows: 1) low stringency hybridization conditions in 6X sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC) at about 45°C, followed by two washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.1% SDS at least at 50°C (the temperature of the washes can be increased to 55°C for low stringency conditions); 2) medium stringency hybridization conditions in 6X SSC at about 45°C, followed by one or more washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.1% SDS at 60°C; 3) high stringency hybridization conditions in 6X SSC at about 45°C, followed by one or more washes in 0.2X SSC, 0.1% SDS at 65°C; and preferably 4) very high stringency hybridization conditions are 0.5M sodium phosphate, 7% SDS at 65°C, followed by one or more washes at 0.2X SSC, 1% SDS at 65°C. Very high stringency conditions (4) are the preferred conditions and the ones that should be used unless otherwise specified.
It is understood that the molecules of the present embodiments may have additional conservative or non-essential amino acid substitutions, which do not have a substantial effect on their functions.
The term "amino acid" is intended to embrace all molecules, whether natural or synthetic, which include both an amino functionality and an acid functionality and capable of being included in a polymer of naturally-occurring amino acids. Exemplary amino acids include naturally-occurring amino acids; analogs, derivatives and congeners thereof; amino acid analogs having variant side chains; and all stereoisomers of any of any of the foregoing. As used herein the term "amino acid" includes both the D- or L- optical isomers and peptidomimetics.
A "conservative amino acid substitution" is one in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains 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).

In some embodiments, the polypeptide that is the compound comprises at the N-terminus an antibody comprised of F(ab’)2 on an IgGl Fc backbone fused with scFvs on the C-terminus of the IgG Fc backbone. In some embodiments, the IgG Fc backbone is a IgGl Fc backbone. In some embodiments, the IgGl backbone is replaced with a IgG4 backbone, IgG2 backbone, or other similar IgG backbone. The IgG backbones described in this paragraph can be used throughout this application where a Fc region is referred to as part of the therapeutic compound. The Fc backbone can be the Fc region as provided for herein and have a mutation as provided for herein.
Thus, in some embodiments, the antibody comprised of F(ab’)2 on an IgGl Fc backbone can be an anti-PD-1 antibody, an anti-LAG-3, an anti-CTLA4 antibody (or any other antibody that binds to an inhibitory receptor) on an IgGl Fc. In some embodiments, the scFV segments fused to the C-terminus could be the FcyRII binding effector domain. In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises two antibodies linked separately to two separate FcyRII binding effector domains. In some embodiments, the F(ab’)2 bind to PD-1 or LAG-3. In some embodiments, one antibody binds to PD-1 and the other binds to LAG-3.
In some embodiments, the FcyRII binding effector domain as provided for herein, for any of the polypeptides provided for herein are selective for FcyRIIb over the FcyRIIa-R131 isoform or the FcyRIIa-H131 isoform. Without being bound to any particular theory, these FcyRIIb binding effector domain can be used to help down regulate an immune response.
In some embodiments, when the inhibitory receptor effector domain is a checkpoint agonist, the Fc domain comprises mutations that are FcyRIIb selective mutations and the FcyRII binding effector domains is a FcyRIIb-specific scFv antibody.
Pharmaceutical Compositions and Kits
In some embodiments, the present embodiments provide compositions, e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable compositions, which include a therapeutic compound described herein, formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like that are physiologically compatible.
The carrier can be suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, parenteral, rectal, local, ophthalmic, topical, spinal or epidermal administration (e.g. by injection or infusion). As used herein, the term “carrier” means a diluent, adjuvant, or excipient with which a compound is administered. In some embodiments, pharmaceutical carriers can also be liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. The pharmaceutical carriers can also be saline, gum acacia, gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, urea, and the like. In addition, auxiliary, stabilizing, thickening, lubricating and coloring agents can be used. The carriers can be used in pharmaceutical compositions comprising the therapeutic compounds provided for herein.
The compositions and compounds of the embodiments provided for herein may be in a variety of forms. These include, for example, liquid, semi-solid and solid dosage forms, such as liquid solutions (e.g., injectable and infusible solutions), dispersions or suspensions, liposomes and suppositories. The preferred form depends on the intended mode of administration and therapeutic application. Typical compositions are in the form of injectable or infusible solutions. In some embodiments, the mode of administration is parenteral (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular). In some embodiments, the therapeutic molecule is administered by intravenous infusion or injection. In another embodiment, the therapeutic molecule is administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. In another embodiment, the therapeutic molecule is administered locally, e g., by injection, or topical application, to a target site.
The phrases "parenteral administration" and "administered parenterally" as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, epidural and intrasternal injection and infusion.
The compositions typically should be sterile and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. The composition can be formulated as a solution, microemulsion, dispersion, liposome, or other ordered structure suitable to high therapeutic molecule concentration. Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound (i.e., therapeutic molecule) in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle that contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying that yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile- filtered solution thereof. The proper fluidity of a solution can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent that delays absorption, for example, monostearate salts and gelatin. As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the route and/or mode of administration will vary depending upon the desired results. In certain embodiments, the active compound may be prepared with a carrier that will protect the compound against rapid release, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants, transdermal patches, and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Many methods for the preparation of such formulations are patented or generally known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Sustained and Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems, J. R. Robinson, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1978.
In certain embodiments, a therapeutic compound can be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. The compound (and other ingredients, if desired) may also be enclosed in a hard or soft shell gelatin capsule, compressed into tablets, or incorporated directly into the subject's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the compounds may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. To administer a compound by other than parenteral administration, it may be necessary to coat the compound with, or coadminister the compound with, a material to prevent its inactivation. Therapeutic compositions can also be administered with medical devices known in the art.
Dosage regimens are adjusted to provide the optimum desired response (e.g., a therapeutic response). For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects to be treated; each unit contains a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of sensitivity in individuals. An exemplary, non-limiting range for a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of a therapeutic compound is 0.1-30 mg/kg, more preferably 1-25 mg/kg. Dosages and therapeutic regimens of the therapeutic compound can be determined by a skilled artisan. In certain embodiments, the therapeutic compound is administered by injection (e.g., subcutaneously or intravenously) at a dose of about 1 to 40 mg/kg, e.g., 1 to 30 mg/kg, e.g., about 5 to 25 mg/kg, about 10 to 20 mg/kg, about 1 to 5 mg/kg, 1 to 10 mg/kg, 5 to 15 mg/kg, 10 to 20 mg/kg, 15 to 25 mg/kg, or about 3 mg/kg. The dosing schedule can vary from e.g., once a week to once every 2, 3, or 4 weeks. In one embodiment, the therapeutic compound is administered at a dose from about 10 to 20 mg/kg every other week. The therapeutic compound can be administered by intravenous infusion at a rate of more than 20 mg/min, e.g., 20-40 mg/min, and typically greater than or equal to 40 mg/min to reach a dose of about 35 to 440 mg/m2, typically about 70 to 310 mg/m2, and more typically, about 110 to 130 mg/m2. In embodiments, the infusion rate of about 110 to 130 mg/m2 achieves a level of about 3 mg/kg. In other embodiments, the therapeutic compound can be administered by intravenous infusion at a rate of less than 10 mg/min, e.g., less than or equal to 5 mg/min to reach a dose of about 1 to 100 mg/m2, e.g., about 5 to 50 mg/m2, about 7 to 25 mg/m2, or, about 10 mg/m2. In some embodiments, the therapeutic compound is infused over a period of about 30 min. It is to be noted that dosage values may vary with the type and severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions, and that dosage ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed composition.
The pharmaceutical compositions may include a "therapeutically effective amount" or a "prophylactically effective amount" of a therapeutic molecule. A "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic molecule may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the therapeutic compound to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of a therapeutic molecule t is outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. A "therapeutically effective dosage" preferably inhibits a measurable parameter, e g., immune attack at least about 20%, more preferably by at least about 40%, even more preferably by at least about 60%, and still more preferably by at least about 80% relative to untreated subjects. The ability of a compound to inhibit a measurable parameter, e.g., immune attack, can be evaluated in an animal model system predictive of efficacy in transplant rejection or autoimmune disorders.
Alternatively, this property of a composition can be evaluated by examining the ability of the compound to inhibit, such inhibition in vitro by assays known to the skilled practitioner.
A "prophylactically effective amount" refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount will be less than the therapeutically effective amount.
Also within the scope of the embodiments is a kit comprising a therapeutic compound described herein. The kit can include one or more other elements including: instructions for use; other reagents, e.g., a label, a therapeutic agent, or an agent useful for chelating, or otherwise coupling, a therapeutic molecule to a label or other therapeutic agent, or a radioprotective composition; devices or other materials for preparing the a therapeutic molecule for administration; pharmaceutically acceptable carriers; and devices or other materials for administration to a subject.

The following examples are illustrative, but not limiting, of the compounds, compositions and methods described herein. Other suitable modifications and adaptations known to those skilled in the art are within the scope of the following embodiments.
Examples
Example 1: Generating IgGl/IgG4 hybrid hinge-Fc to gain FcyRTip selectivity.
Mutations in the hinge and CH2 domains of IgGl Fc were designed so that IgGl Fc mimics the FcyRIip binding features as IgG4 Fc. It has been reported that IgG4 PE variant (S228P, L235E) has selective binding toward human FcyRIIp (Zhou et al. 2020. mAbs 12: 1, 1814583). Protein sequences of different IgG isotypes were aligned as shown herein. The critical residue differences between IgGl and IgG4 were identified. The critical mutations were identified as S228P, L234F, and/or L235E. Additionally, CH2 region of IgGl was replaced with the CH2 region of IgG4. The variant Fc polypeptides comprising IgGl/IgG4 hybrid domains show increased FcyRIip binding affinity.
Example 2: Variant IgG Fc Polypeptide Expression in Expi293F Cells and Purification Thereof.
The variant IgG Fc polypeptides described herein were transiently expressed in Expi293F cells. The variant IgG Fc polypeptides were purified by passing through PrismA resins. Target antibodies were eluted with buffer 0. IM Glycine, pH 2.7. The flow through and prismA eluted samples were loaded to CE-SDS to check purification result. All variants were purified with majority population as monomers on analytical SEC.
Example 3: High-throughput Screening of Antibodies Against Analytes PD-1 and FcyRII Receptors. Antibodies comprising variant IgG Fc polypeptides described herein were captured on aprotein A/G chip at 10 ug/mL, 1 ug/mL, and 0.1 ug/mL concentrations (in duplicates). Each analyte binder was injected at seven concentrations with 5-fold serial dilutions, and kinetics data was collected. Binding kinetics (KD affinity, Kon association rate, Koff dissociation rate) were collected. Affinity KD of each Fc variant against human FcyRIIa R l 67, FcyRIIa H l 67, FcyRIip, and cyno FcyRIIa and FcyRIip was described in Table 6 below. Due to the limitation of affinity measurement, KD values were categorized as ”no binding” when no response was observed, “>5uM” when KD is weaker than 5uM, and KD was measured if the KD was stronger than 5uM. For IgGl WT, KD of 5.1 uM is shown. This value was consistent with previous reports.
Table 4.
Figure imgf000113_0001
Ratio (iia/iib) = KD(iiA)/KD(iiB) (higher means stronger iib selectivity). Fold= KD(IgG_WT)/KD(variants) (higher number means stronger Fcg receptor affinity). Ratio (iib/iia) = KD(iiB)/KD(iiA) (lower means stronger iib selectivity). Compared to IgGl wild type, the FcyRIip selective clones may have stronger human FcyRIip binding, weaker human FcyRIIa binding, or both Ila & lip at the same time.
Example 4: Binding Profiles Of the Variant IgG F Polypeptides Provided Herein Are Comparable to the P238D Molecule.
CHOK1 lines overexpressing either FcyRIip or Ila (R131) were detached, resuspended in PBS 3% FBS and incubated for 30 minutes at +4C with 40 ug/mL of test articles. Cells were washed and incubated for additional 30 minutes at +4C with a detection antibody (BV421 conjugated) recognizing the human kappa chain of our test articles (Cat #316518). Cells were further washed, resuspend in fixation buffer (cat number) for 1 hour, then washed and resuspended in PBS before their acquisition at the flow cytometer. Binding curves (EC50) for each antibody against human FcyRIip and FcyRIIa (R131) were obtained, and are shown below in Table 5.
Figure imgf000114_0001
The data illustrated in Table 5 shows that the variant IgG Fc polypeptides have comparable EC50 values to the IgGl P238D molecule.
Example 5: Functional Assessment of the Variant IgG F Polypeptides Provided Herein Highlights Several Molecules With Stronger Agonism Than “PD-1 IgGl WT”.
Raji B cells were removed from cell culture, resuspended in cell plating reagent with 3% FBS and incubated for 1 hour at 37C with (lOOnM to 0.006nM) of test articles. Jurkat PD-1 (SHP2) reporter cells were removed from cell culture, resuspended in cell plating reagent with 3% FBS, and incubated with the Raji cells with test articles for an additional 2 hours at room temperature. Detection reagents were added to each well and luminescence was read using a plate reader. Agonism produced in reporter cell lines was enhanced by antibodies with greater affinities to FcyRIip over the wild-type antibody control.
