Differentiated agonistic antibody targeting CD137 eradicates large tumors without hepatotoxicity

ABSTRACT: CD137 (4-1BB) is a member of the TNFR superfamily that represents a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. Recent insights into the function of TNFR agonist antibodies implicate epitope, affinity, and IgG subclass as critical features, and these observations help explain the limited activity and toxicity seen with clinically tested CD137 agonists. Here we describe the preclinical characterization of CTX-471, a fully human IgG4 agonist of CD137 that engages a unique epitope that is shared by human, cynomolgus monkey, and mouse and is associated with a differentiated pharmacology and toxicology profile. In vitro, CTX-471 increased IFN-γ production by human T cells in an FcγR-dependent manner, displaying an intermediate level of activity between two clinical-stage anti-CD137 antibodies. In mice, CTX-471 exhibited curative monotherapy activity in various syngeneic tumor models and showed a unique ability to cure mice of very large (~500 mm3) tumors compared to validated antibodies against checkpoints and TNFR superfamily members. Extremely high doses of CTX-471 were well-tolerated, with no signs of hepatic toxicity. Collectively, these data demonstrate that CTX-471 is a unique CD137 agonist that display an excellent safety profile and an unprecedented level of monotherapy efficacy against very large tumors.

CD137 (4-1BB) requires physically associated cIAPs for signal transduction and antitumor effects

Project description:CD137 (4-1BB) is a member of the TNFR family that mediates potent T-cell costimulatory signals upon ligation by CD137L or agonist monoclonal antibodies. CD137 agonists attain immunotherapeutic antitumor effects in cancer mouse models and multiple agents of this kind are undergoing clinical trials. We show that cIAP1 and cIAP2 are physically associated with the CD137-signaling complex. Moreover, cIAPs are required for CD137 signaling towards the NF-κB and MAPK pathways and for costimulation of human and mouse T lymphocytes. Functional evidence was substantiated with SMAC-mimetics that trigger cIAPs degradation and by transfecting cIAP dominant-negative variants. Antitumor effects of agonist anti-CD137 mAbs are critically dependent on the integrity of cIAPs in cancer mouse models and cIAPs are also required for signaling from CARs encompassing CD137’s cytoplasmic tail.

Cyclophosphamide enhances the anti-tumor potency of GITR engagement by increasing oligoclonal cytotoxic T cell fitness

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy is a standard treatment option for many malignancies, but it is only effective in a subset of patients. Combination strategies to overcome resistance are promising areas of investigation. Targeting glucocorticoidinduced TNFR-related (GITR) protein with agonist antibodies has shown efficacy in preclinical models, but GITR engagement does not control growth of advanced poorly immunogenic murine tumors such as B16 melanoma and has not yielded benefit in clinical trials. The alkylating agent cyclophosphamide (CTX) preferentially depletes regulatory T cells (Tregs) and expands tumor-specific effector T cells (Teffs) via homeostatic proliferation. Additionally, CTX directly induces tumor cell death, thereby releasing antigen to prime Teffs in a lymphopenic environment where there are fewer Tregs. GITR agonism has a net inhibitory effect on Tregs and yet activates Teff. We therefore hypothesized that CTX treatment prior to GITR agonism would promote potent anti-tumor immunity. Here we show that the combination of CTX and GITR agonism robustly controls tumor growth in several clinically relevant mouse models. Mechanistically, we show that the combination therapy causes tumor cell death, clonal expansion of highly active and terminally differentiated CD8+ T cells, and depletion of regulatory T cells by AICD. Control of tumor growth was also associated with the presence of an expanded population of highly activated tumor-infiltrating oligoclonal CD8+ T cells that lead to a global contracted TCR repertoire. Our studies show that the combination of CTX and GITR agonism is a rational chemo-immunotherapeutic approach that warrants further clinical investigation.

i-shaped antibody engineering enables conformational tuning of biotherapeutic receptor agonists

Project description:The ability to leverage antibodies to agonize disease relevant biological pathways has the potential to unlock new drug targets for clinical investigation. While antibodies have been successful as antagonists, immune mediators, and targeting agents, they are not readily effective at recapitulating the biological activity of natural ligands. Among the important determinants of antibody agonist activity is the geometry of target receptor engagement. Herein, we describe a novel engineering approach inspired by a naturally occurring Fab-Fab homotypic interaction that constrains IgG in a unique i-shaped conformation. i-shaped antibody (iAb) engineering enables potent intrinsic agonism of five tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) targets. When applied to bispecific antibodies against the heterodimeric IL-2 receptor pair, constrained bispecific IgG formats recapitulate IL-2 agonist activity. Thus, iAb engineering represents a new tool to tune agonist antibody function and this work provides a framework for the development of intrinsic antibody agonists with the potential for generalization across broad receptor classes.

Effect of CD137 (4-1BB) triggering on human monocytes

Project description:The cell surface glycoprotein CD137, which is also known as 4-1BB, belongs to the group of co-stimulatory immune receptors and is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). It is preferentially found on activated T-cells and regulatory T-cells. In T-cells, CD137-crosslinking delivers a potent co-stimulatory signal as it promotes T-cell proliferation, formation of memory cells and enhances survival. Despite numerous studies investigating the effects of co-stimulatory CD137 in T-cells, little is known regarding the role of CD137 in human monocytes/macrophages. To investigate the effect of CD137 triggering on human monocytes, monocytes were isolated and treated with an agonistic CD137 mAb and subsequently analyzed by RNA-seq.

CD137 costimulation counteracts TGFβ inhibition of NK cell anti-tumor function and promotes the acquisition of tissue-resident Th9-like properties [2 treatments]

Project description:Enhancing NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy by overcoming immunosuppression is an unmet goal. Here, we demonstrate the ability of the anti-CD137 agonist urelumab for overcoming TGF-β-mediated inhibition of human NK-cell proliferation and sustained anti-tumor function. Transcriptomic, immunophenotypic and functional analyses evidenced that CD137 costimulation modified the transcriptional program induced by TGF-β on activated NK cells by limiting SMAD4-dependent inhibition of pro-proliferative (CD25, cMyc), activating (NKG2D, CD16) and effector (Granzyme B, IFNγ) molecules while maintaining SMAD4-independent acquisition of tumor-retention features (CXCR3, CD103). Activated NK cells cultured in the presence of TGF-β1 and CD137 agonist showed preserved antibody-dependent cytotoxicity against cancer cells, recovered CCL5 and IFNγ secretion and gained the capacity for producing IL-9 upon restimulation. Treatment of breast tumor-derived multicellular cultures with trastuzumab and urelumab recapitulated CD137 induction and fostered tumor-infiltrating CD16+ NK cell persistence. Our data reveals CD137 as a targetable checkpoint for overturning TGF-β constrains on NK cell anti-tumor responses

FcγRIIB engagement drives agonistic activity of Fc-engineered αOX40 antibody to stimulate human tumor-infiltrating T cells

Project description:Background: OX40 (CD134) is a co-stimulatory molecule of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, that is currently investigated as a target for cancer immunotherapy. However, despite promising results in murine tumor models, the clinical efficacy of agonistic αOX40 antibodies in treatment of cancer patients has fallen short of the high expectation in earlier stage trials. Methods: Using lymphocytes from resected tumor, tumor-free tissue and PBMC of 4 hepatocellular and colorectal cancer patients, we performed RNA-Seq to evaluate OX40-mediated transcriptional changes in CD4+ and CD8+ human tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Results: The transcriptional landscape of CD4+ and CD8+ TILs shifted towards a pro-survival, inflammatory and chemotactic profile upon treatment with αOX40_v12.

CD137 promotes bone metastasis of breast cancer by enhancing the migration and osteoclast differentiation of monocytes/macrophages

Project description:Rationale: Bone is the most common metastatic site of breast cancer. CD137(4-1BB), a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, is mainly expressed in activated leukocytes. Previous study demonstrates the effect of CD137-CD137L bidirectional signaling pathway on RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. However, the role of CD137 in bone metastasis of breast cancer needs further study. Methods: Stable monocyte/macrophage cell lines with Cd137 overexpression and silencing were established. Western blot, real-time PCR, transwell and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining were used to detect the regulatory effect of CD137 on migration and osteoclastogenesis of monocytes/macrophages in vitro. Spontaneous bone metastasis mouse model was established, bioluminescent images, immunohistochemistry and histology assay were performed to detect the function of CD137 in bone metastasis in vivo. Results: We found that CD137 promotes the migration of monocytes/macrophages to tumor microenvironment by upregulating the expression of Fra1. It also promoted the differentiation of monocytes/macrophages into osteoclasts at the same time, thus providing a favorable microenvironment for the colonization and growth of breast cancer cells in bone. Based on these findings, a novel F4/80-targeted liposomal nanoparticle encapsulating the anti-CD137 Ab blocking antibody (NP-aCD137 Ab-F4/80) was synthesized. This nanoparticle could inhibit both bone and lung metastases of 4T1 breast cancer cells with high efficacy in vivo. In addition, it increased the therapeutic efficacy of Fra1 inhibitor on tumor metastasis. Conclusions: Taken together, these findings reveal the promotion effect of macrophage/monocyte CD137 on bone metastases and provide a promising therapeutic strategy for metastasis of breast cancer.
