Development of ImmTOR Tolerogenic Nanoparticles for the Mitigation of Anti-drug Antibodies.

ABSTRACT: The development of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) is a common cause for treatment failure and hypersensitivity reactions for many biologics. The focus of this review is the development of ImmTOR, a platform technology designed to prevent the formation of ADAs that can be applied broadly across a wide variety of biologics by inducing immunological tolerance with ImmTOR nanoparticles encapsulating rapamycin. The induction of tolerance is antigen-specific and dependent on the incorporation of rapamycin in nanoparticles and the presence of the antigen at the time of administration of ImmTOR. Evidence for the induction of specific immune tolerance vs. general immune suppression is supported by the findings that: (1) ImmTOR induces regulatory T cells specific to the co-administered antigen; (2) tolerance can be transferred by adoptive transfer of splenocytes from treated animals to naïve recipients; (3) the tolerance is durable to subsequent challenge with antigen alone; and (4) animals tolerized to a specific antigen are capable of responding to an unrelated antigen. ImmTOR nanoparticles can be added to new or existing biologics without the need to modify or reformulate the biologic drug. The ability of ImmTOR to mitigate the formation of ADAs has been demonstrated for coagulation factor VIII in a mouse model of hemophilia A, an anti-TNF? monoclonal antibody in a mouse model of inflammatory arthritis, pegylated uricase in hyperuricemic mice and in non-human primates, acid alpha-glucosidase in a mouse model of Pompe disease, recombinant immunotoxin in a mouse model of mesothelioma, and adeno-associated vectors in a model of repeat dosing of gene therapy vectors in mice and in non-human primates. Human proof-of concept for the mitigation of ADAs has been demonstrated with SEL-212, a combination product consisting of ImmTOR + pegadricase, a highly immunogenic enzyme therapy for the treatment of gout. ImmTOR represents a promising approach to preventing the formation of ADAs to a broad range of biologic drugs.

Project description:Background: Neutralizing anti-drug antibodies (ADA) can greatly reduce the efficacy of biopharmaceuticals used to treat patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the biological factors pre-disposing an individual to develop ADA are poorly characterized. Thus, there is an unmet clinical need for biomarkers to predict the development of immunogenicity, and subsequent treatment failure. Up to 35% of MS patients treated with beta interferons (IFN?) develop ADA. Here we use machine learning to predict immunogenicity against IFN? utilizing serum metabolomics data. Methods: Serum samples were collected from 89 MS patients as part of the ABIRISK consortium-a multi-center prospective study of ADA development. Metabolites and ADA were quantified prior to and after IFN? treatment. Thirty patients became ADA positive during the first year of treatment (ADA+). We tested the efficacy of six binary classification models using 10-fold cross validation; k-nearest neighbors, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine and lasso (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) logistic regression with and without interactions. Results: We were able to predict future immunogenicity from baseline metabolomics data. Lasso logistic regression with/without interactions and support vector machines were the most successful at identifying ADA+ or ADA- cases, respectively. Furthermore, patients who become ADA+ had a distinct metabolic response to IFN? in the first 3 months, with 29 differentially regulated metabolites. Machine learning algorithms could also predict ADA status based on metabolite concentrations at 3 months. Lasso logistic regressions had the greatest proportion of correct classifications [F1 score (accuracy measure) = 0.808, specificity = 0.913]. Finally, we hypothesized that serum lipids could contribute to ADA development by altering immune-cell lipid rafts. This was supported by experimental evidence demonstrating that, prior to IFN? exposure, lipid raft-associated lipids were differentially expressed between MS patients who became ADA+ or remained ADA-. Conclusion: Serum metabolites are a promising biomarker for prediction of ADA development in MS patients treated with IFN?, and could provide novel insight into mechanisms of immunogenicity.

Project description:Mitigation of total-body irradiation (TBI) in C57BL/6 mice by two drugs, which target apoptosis and necroptosis respectively, increases survival compared to one drug alone. Here we investigated whether the biomarker (signature)directed addition of a third anti-ferroptosis drug further mitigated TBI effects. C57BL/6NTac female mice (30-33 g) received 9.25 Gy TBI, and 24 h or later received JP4-039 (20 mg/kg), necrostatin-1 (1.65 mg/kg) and/or lipoxygenase-15 inhibitor (baicalein) (50 mg/kg) in single-, dual- or three-drug regimens. Some animals were sacrificed at days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 7 postirradiation, while the majority in each group were maintained beyond 30 days. For those mice sacrificed at the early time points, femur bone marrow, intestine (ileum), lung and blood plasma were collected and analyzed for radiation-induced and mitigator-modified levels of 33 pro-inflammatory and stress response proteins. Each single mitigator administered [JP4-039 (24 h), necrostatin-1 (48 h) or baicalein (24 h)] improved survival at day 30 after TBI to 25% (P = 0.0432, 0.2816 or 0.1120, respectively) compared to 5% survival of 9.25 Gy TBI controls. Mice were administered the drug individually based on weight (mg/kg). Drug vehicles comprised 30% cyclodextrin for JP4-039 and baicalein, and 10% Cremphor-EL/10% ethanol/80% water for necrostatin-1; thus, dual-vehicle controls were also tested. The dual-drug combinations further enhanced survival: necrostatin-1 (delayed to 72 h) with baicalein 40% (P = 0.0359); JP4-039 with necrostatin-1 50% (P = 0.0062); and JP4-039 with baicalein 60% (P = 0.0064). The three-drug regimen, timed to signature directed evidence of onset after TBI of each death pathway in marrow and intestine, further increased the 30-day survival to 75% (P = 0.0002), and there was optimal normalization to preirradiation levels of inflammatory cytokine and stress response protein levels in plasma, intestine and marrow. In contrast, lung protein levels were minimally altered by 9.25 Gy TBI or mitigators over 7 days. Significantly, elevated intestinal proteins at day 7 after TBI were reduced by necrostatin-1-containing regimens; however, normalization of plasma protein levels at day 7 required the addition of JP4-039 and baicalein. These findings indicate that mitigator targeting to three distinct cell death pathways increases survival after TBI.
