Definitions
- This invention was made under the support of the Ministry of Science and ICT through project identification number 1711172425 and task number 2022R1F1A1061005.
- the research management agency for the project is the National Research Foundation of Korea, the research project name is "Individual Basic Research (Ministry of Science and ICT)", and the research project is Myung-eun: "Development of a combination immunotherapy using PROTAC-based epigenetic control factor EZH2 targeting drug and immune checkpoint inhibitor for the treatment of refractory lymphoma", the project carrying out institution is Inje University, and the research period is 2022.06.01 ⁇ 2023.02.28.
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of cancer comprising an EZH2 inhibitor and an anti-PD-1 antibody, as well as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoma, which has had a low therapeutic effect so far. It was confirmed that the treatment effect was significantly excellent for other cancer types.
- EBV Epstein-Barr virus
- Lymphoma is a blood cancer that occurs when B or T lymphocytes become cancerous. Lymphoma can develop in lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood, or other organs and eventually become cancer. Lymphoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in lymphoid tissue and can occur in areas other than lymphoid tissue. Cases that occur in areas other than lymphoid tissue are called extranodal lymphomas, and are known to occur mainly in areas where the nose and throat are connected, the gastrointestinal tract, and the brain. Lymphoma accounts for 2.1% of all cancers in the United States, 2.8% in the United Kingdom, and 4% in Korea, making it a common cancer in the East.
- Lymphoma is largely divided into Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. According to WHO statistics, as of 2020, there are 627,439 new cases of lymphoma, of which the incidence rates of Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are 13% and 87%, respectively.
- Epstein-Barr virus a herpes virus, infects more than 90% of normal people and causes asymptomatic latent infection in most people, but the immune system is weakened after bone marrow transplant or organ transplant. In individuals with long-term decline, EBV is known to cause tumors such as lymphoproliferative disease, Burkitt's lymphoma, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and Hodgkin's disease. there is.
- Lymphocytic diseases associated with EBV include Hodgkin's lymphoma, nasal type extranodal NK-T cell lymphoma, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD).
- PTLD post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease
- EBV-related tumors such as Burkitt's lymphoma
- conventional treatments for EBV-related tumors include reduction of immunosuppressants, use of antiviral drugs, chemotherapy, and administration of rituximab antibody, but treatment response rate is low. Due to differences in treatment, an effective treatment has not yet been established. Therefore, there is currently an urgent need to develop new treatments for the treatment and cure of EBV-related tumors.
- the bones in our body maintain the body's shape, enable exercise, and are involved in calcium regulation.
- a tissue called bone marrow, which is less dense than bone, where white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, etc. It functions to create blood cells.
- Leukemia is a cancer that occurs in these blood cells, and is a general term for blood cancer in which abnormal blood cells (mostly derived from white blood cells, but rarely also from the erythroid and platelet systems) proliferate excessively, suppressing the production of normal white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. am.
- a decrease in the normal number of white blood cells can cause a decrease in immunity and cause sepsis due to bacterial infection.
- a decrease in red blood cells causes symptoms of anemia (dizziness, headache, difficulty breathing), and a decrease in platelets causes bleeding tendencies. Additionally, the overproliferated leukemia cells themselves can cause high fever, fatigue, bone pain, diarrhea, decreased consciousness, difficulty breathing, and bleeding tendencies.
- Leukemia is divided into acute and chronic depending on the degree of cell differentiation, that is, the rate of deterioration, and is divided into myeloid and lymphocytic depending on the origin of the cell. It is commonly classified into four types: Acute myeloid leukemia, Acute lymphocytic leukemia, Chronic myeloid leukemia, and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
- EZH2 (Enhancer of zeste homolog 2) is a histone-lysine N-methyltransferase enzyme encoded by the EZH2 gene that participates in histone methylation and ultimately transcriptional repression. EZH2 levels are abnormally elevated in cancer tissues compared to normal tissues, and EZH2 is most highly expressed in late-stage tumors or poor prognosis. EZH2 can slow tumor growth by suppressing genes that suppress tumor development or by blocking EZH2 activity.
- PD-1 is a protein on the surface of activated T cells (immune cells). Also called CD279, Programmed cell death protein 1.
- CD279 Programmed cell death protein 1.
- PD-L1 and PD-L2 proteins on the surface of cancer cells, bind to PD-1, a protein on the surface of T cells, the T cells cannot attack cancer cells.
- Anti-PD-1 antibody an immunotherapy drug, attaches to the PD-1 receptor on T cells and inhibits the evasion function of cancer cells.
- the present inventors used a combination of a PROTAC (Proteolysis targeting chimera)-based EZH2 inhibitor and an anti-PD-1 antibody to treat not only Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoma, which has had a low therapeutic effect so far, but also other carcinomas. It was confirmed that the treatment effect was excellent, and the present invention was completed.
- PROTAC Proteolysis targeting chimera
- EBV Epstein-Barr virus
- An object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer, comprising an EZH2 inhibitor and an anti-PD-1 antibody.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a use of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an EZH2 inhibitor and an anti-PD-1 antibody for treating cancer.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of treating cancer by combined administration of an EZH2 inhibitor and an anti-PD-1 antibody.
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention or treatment of cancer comprising an EZH2 inhibitor and an anti-PD-1 antibody, as well as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphoma, which has had a low therapeutic effect so far.

Abstract
본 발명은 EZH2 저해제 및 항-PD-1 항체를 포함하는 암의 예방 또는 치료용 약제학적 조성물에 관한 것으로, 지금까지 치료효과가 낮았던 엡스타인-바 바이러스 (Ebstein-Barr virus; EBV) 연관 림프종뿐만 아니라 다른 암종에도 치료 효과가 현저히 우수한 것을 확인하였다.
Description
본 발명은 과학기술정보통신부의 지원 하에서 과제고유번호 1711172425, 과제번호 2022R1F1A1061005에 의해 이루어진 것으로서, 상기 과제의 연구관리전문기관은 한국연구재단, 연구사업명은 " 개인기초연구(과기정통부)", 연구과제명은 " 불응성 림프종 치료를 위한 PROTAC 기반의 후성유전적 제어인자 EZH2 타겟 약물과 면역관문억제제를 이용한 복합면역치료제 개발", 과제수행기관은 인제대학교, 연구기간은 2022.06.01 ~ 2023.02.28이다.
본 발명은 EZH2 저해제 및 항-PD-1 항체를 포함하는 암의 예방 또는 치료용 약제학적 조성물에 관한 것으로, 지금까지 치료효과가 낮았던 엡스타인-바 바이러스 (Ebstein-Barr virus; EBV) 연관 림프종뿐만 아니라 다른 암종에도 치료 효과가 현저히 우수한 것을 확인하였다.
림프종은 B 또는 T 림프구가 암이 되는 경우 발생하는 혈액암이다. 림프종은 림프결절, 비장, 골수, 혈액 또는 다른 기관에서 발달되고 결국 암이 될 수 있다. 림프종은 림프조직에 생기는 악성종양으로 림프 조직이 아닌 부위에도 발생할 수 있다. 림프조직이 아닌 부위에서 발생하는 경우를 림프절 외 림프종이라고 하는데, 주로 코 속과 목구멍이 연결되는 곳이나 위장관, 뇌 등에 잘 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 림프종은 미국의 경우 전체 암 발생의 2.1%, 영국의 경우 2.8%를 차지하며, 우리 나라의 경우 4%를 차지하여 동양에서는 빈도가 높은 편의 암이다. 림프종은 크게 호지킨 림프종과 비호지킨 림프종으로 구분되며, WHO 통계에 따르면 2020년 기준 림프종 신규 발병자는 627,439명, 이 중 호지킨 림프종과 비호지킨 림프종 발병비율은 각각 13% 및 87%이다.
헤르페스 바이러스(Herpes virus)에 속하는 엡스타인-바 바이러스(Ebstein-Barr virus; EBV)는 90% 이상의 정상인에게 감염되어 대부분의 사람에서 무증상의 잠복 감염을 일으키나, 골수 이식 후 또는 장기이식 등으로 면역체계가 장기적으로 저하된 개인에서 EBV는 림프세포증식성 질환(Lymphoproliferative disease), 버킷 림프종(Burkitt's lymphoma), 비인두암종(Nasopharyngeal carcinoma; NPC), 호지킨스 질환(Hodgkin's disease) 등의 종양을 유발하는 원인으로 알려져 있다.
EBV와 연관성이 있는 림프세포성질환으로 호지킨 림프종을 포함하여 비형(nasal type) 림프절외 NK-T세포림프종과 이식 후 림프증식성 질환(post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease; PTLD)등이 있다.
림프종 중에서도 EBV 연관 종양, 예를 들어, 버킷 림프종의 기존의 치료법으로는 면역억제제의 감량, 항바이러스제의 사용, 항암화학요법, 및 리툭시맙 (Rituximab) 항체 투여 등이 시행되어 오고 있으나, 치료 반응율의 차이가 있어 아직까지 효과적인 치료법은 정립되지 않은 상황이다. 따라서 현재로서는 EBV 연관 종양의 치료 및 완치를 위한 새로운 치료법 개발 노력이 시급한 실정이다.
우리 몸의 뼈는 몸의 체형을 유지하고 운동을 할 수 있게 하며 칼슘 조절에 관여하는 기능을 하고, 뼈의 내부에는 뼈보다는 촘촘하지 않은 골수라는 조직이 있는데, 이곳에서 백혈구, 적혈구, 혈소판 등의 혈액 세포를 만드는 기능을 한다. 백혈병이란 이러한 혈액 세포에 발생한 암으로서, 비정상적인 혈액세포 (대부분 백혈구에서 유래하며 드물게 적혈구계, 혈소판 계에서도 가능)가 과도하게 증식하여 정상적인 백혈구와 적혈구, 혈소판의 생성이 억제되는 혈액암을 통칭하는 용어이다.
정상적인 백혈구 수가 감소하면 면역저하를 일으켜 세균감염에 의한 패혈증을 일으킬 수 있고, 적혈구의 감소는 빈혈 증상(어지러움, 두통, 호흡곤란)을 가져오며, 혈소판의 감소는 출혈 경향을 일으킨다. 또한, 과다 증식된 백혈병 세포 자체로 인하여 고열, 피로감, 뼈의 통증, 설사, 의식저하, 호흡곤란, 출혈 경향도 일으킬 수 있다.
백혈병은 세포의 분화 정도, 즉 악화 속도에 따라 급성과 만성으로 나뉘고, 세포의 기원에 따라 골수성과 림프구성으로 나뉜다. 흔히 급성 골수성 백혈병 (Acute myeloid leukemia), 급성 림프구성 백혈병 (Acute lymphocytic leukemia), 만성 골수성 백혈병 (Chronic myeloid leukemia) 및 만성 림프구성 백혈병 (Chronic lymphocytic leukemia)의 네 가지 형태로 분류된다.
EZH2 (Enhancer of zeste homolog 2)는 히스톤 메틸화 및 궁극적으로 전사 억제에 참여하는 EZH2 유전자에 의해 암호화되는 히스톤-리신 N-메틸트랜스퍼라제 효소이다. EZH2 레벨은 정상 조직과 비교하여 암 조직에서 비정상적으로 상승하며, EZH2는 후기 종양 또는 불량한 예후에서 가장 높게 발현된다. EZH2는 종양 발달을 억제하는 유전자를 억제하거나 EZH2 활성을 차단하면 종양 성장을 늦출 수 있다.
PD-1은 활성화된 T세포(면역세포)의 표면에 있는 단백질이다. CD279, Programmed cell death protein 1이라고도 한다. 암세포의 표면에 있는 단백질인 PD-L1, PD-L2가 T세포의 표면에 있는 단백질인 PD-1과 결합하면, T세포는 암세포를 공격하지 못한다. 면역항암제인 항-PD-1 항체는 T세포의 PD-1 수용체에 달라붙어 암세포의 회피 기능을 억제한다.
이에 본 발명자들은 PROTAC (Proteolysis targeting chimera) 기반의 EZH2 저해제 및 항-PD-1 항체를 병용하여 사용함으로써 지금까지 치료효과가 낮았던 엡스타인-바 바이러스 (Ebstein-Barr virus; EBV) 연관 림프종뿐만 아니라 다른 암종에도 치료 효과가 우수한 것을 확인하고, 본 발명을 완성하게 되었다.
