Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of oncolytic viruses and in particular to a recombinant rhabdovirus encoding a CD80 ectodomain Fc fusion protein in its genome. The invention further relates to the use of the recombinant rhabdovirus in the treatment of cancer and to methods for producing such viruses. BACKGROUND
[0002] Oncolytic viruses are an emerging class of biologicals that selectively replicate in and kill cancer cells and are able to spread within tumors. Attempts to further improve oncolytic viruses to increase their therapeutic potential have led to the generation of so-called armed viruses that encode tumor antigens or immunomodulatory transgenes in their genome to improve their efficacy in tumor therapy.
[0003] In many cases, there are very small amounts of T cells in tumors, and thus a microenvironment that has been termed an "immune desert" - an immune desert is a tumor microenvironment in which T cells of the immune system cannot or do not penetrate the tumor to kill out-of-control cells. It has been hypothesized that, to evade immune surveillance, tumors establish an immunosuppressive microenvironment by recruiting myeloid-derived suppressor cells or secreting factors including TGFp, which exerts a dual role of inducing expression of extracellular matrix genes and suppressing expression of chemokines and cytokines required to promote T cell infiltration into tumors (Pickup M, Novitskiy S, Moses HL. The roles of TGFbeta in the tumour microenvironment. Nat Rev Cancer 2013; 13: 788-99). Furthermore, studies have found that tumors exhibit high expression of genes corresponding to an immunosuppressive microenvironment are associated with poor outcomes in multiple cancer types, including ovarian and colorectal cancer (Calon A, Lonardo E, Berenguer-Llergo A, Espinet E, Hernando-Momblona X, Iglesias M, et al. Stromal gene expression defines poor-prognosis subtypes in colorectal cancer. Nat Genet 2015; 47: 320-9; Ryner L, Guan Y, Firestein R, Xiao Y, Choi Y, Rabe C, et al. Upregulation of periostin and reactive stroma is associated with primary chemoresistance and predicts clinical outcomes in epithelial ovarian cancer. Clin Cancer Res 2015; 21: 2941-51; Tothill RW, Tinker AV, George J, Brown R, Fox SB, Lade S, et al. Novel molecular subtypes of serous and endometrioid ovarian cancer have been linked to clinical outcome. Clin Cancer Res 2008; 14: 5198-208). Hallmarks of an adaptive immune response are specificity and memory.Cellular responses are mediated by T cells that express cell-surface T cell receptors (TCRs) that recognize peptide antigens complexed with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). However, the interaction of homologous TCRs with individual MHC-peptide complexes (Signal 1) does not trigger optimal T cell activation. In addition to Signal 1, the binding of positive and negative costimulatory receptors to their homologous ligands regulates T cell activation. This complex signaling network provides optimal T cell activation on the one hand, and prevents aberrant T cell activation under physiological conditions on the other. CD28 (Signal 2) is the major positive costimulatory receptor on T cells. When Signal 2 (CD28 interacting with B7.1 (CD80) or B7.2 (CD86)) is lacking, for example, on TAA-presenting tumor cells, long-term interaction with TAA-specific T cells leads to T cell unresponsiveness (non-responsiveness): even when TCRs interact with TAAs, T cells struggle to transduce signals. This condition has been described in cancer patients, particularly in long-term advanced disease. However, potent T-cell co-stimulation can reactivate TAA-specific T cells in patients with advanced metastatic cancer.
[0004] A recent approach envisions an oncolytic virus that encodes the IFN-β protein as a payload in its genome. In another approach, the expression of the tumor antigen MAGE-A3 is being explored clinically. Besides identifying suitable and effective payloads, expressing other payloads from the viral backbone always carries the risk of enhancing not only antitumor efficacy but also antiviral immunity. It must be noted that the payload does not limit the oncolytic potential of the virus to the extent that the benefits gained from the expression of a therapeutic payload are offset by a loss of oncolytic efficacy. Therefore, there is a need in the art for further modified armed oncolytic viruses that can be used for effective cancer therapy. There is also a need in the art for selectively improving the infiltration of T cells and / or dendritic cells into the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Figures 11A-C depict a sketch of the mechanism of action (MoA) of CD80-Fc in tumors. A hot tumor (A) with mature, activated dendritic cells (DCs) provides highly effective T-cell co-stimulation. A cold tumor (B) lacking DCs and / or controlled by an immature, tolerant DC subgroup. The absence of DCs or the presence of an immature, tolerant DC subgroup leads to poor T-cell immunity, clonal unresponsiveness, T-cell dysfunction, and cell death. CD80-Fc transforms cold tumors into hot tumors by compensating for the lack of potent T-cell co-stimulation (C).

[0073] Preferably, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention is an oncolytic rhabdovirus. In this context, oncolysis has its conventional meaning as known in the art and refers to a rhabdovirus capable of infecting and lysing (degrading) cancer cells but not normal cells (to any significant extent). Preferably, the oncolytic rhabdovirus is capable of replicating within cancer cells. Oncolytic activity can be tested in various analytical systems known to those skilled in the art (exemplary in vitro analyses are described by Muik et al., Cancer Res., 74(13), 3567-78, 2014). It should be understood that the oncolytic rhabdovirus may only infect and lyse specific types of cancer cells. Furthermore, the oncolytic effect can vary depending on the type of cancer cell.
[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the rhabdovirus belongs to the genus *Vesculovirus*. *Vesculovirus* species have been defined primarily through serological methods combined with genomic phylogenetic analysis. Biological characteristics such as host range and transmission mechanisms are also used to distinguish viral species within the genus. Therefore, the genus *Vesculovirus* forms a unique monophyletic group fully supported by a maximum likelihood tree inferred from complete L sequences.
[0075] Viruses belonging to different species within the genus *Vesicella* may possess one or more of the following characteristics: A) a minimum amino acid sequence divergence of 20% in L; B) a minimum amino acid sequence divergence of 10% in N; C) a minimum amino acid sequence divergence of 15% in G; D) can be distinguished by serological tests; and E) occupy different ecological niches, as confirmed by differences in hosts and / or arthropod vectors.
[0076] The preferred formulation is vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), and more particularly VSV-GP (a recombinant of GP with LCMV). The advantageous properties of VSV-GP include one or more of the following: extremely potent and rapid killer (<8h); oncolytic virus; systemic administration capability; reduced neurotropism / neurotoxicity; lytic replication and induction of immunogenic cell death; attributed to interferon (IFN) response without replication in healthy human cells; strong activation of innate immunity; approximately 3kb of space for immunomodulatory payload and antigens; recombination with isopyrviral glycoproteins from lymphocytic choriomeningovirus (LCMV); advantageous safety profile of reduced neurotoxicity and lower sensitivity to neutralizing antibody response and complement destruction than wild-type VSV (VSV-G); specific replication in tumor cells that can no longer establish and respond to antiviral innate immune responses (e.g., type I IFN signaling); inability to replicate in “healthy cells” for rapid elimination from normal tissues; viral replication in tumor cells that can induce immunogenic cell death, release tumor-associated antigens, cause local inflammation, and induce antitumor immunity.
[0077] The present invention is further embodied by recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus, which encodes in its genome at least vesicular stomatitis virus nucleoprotein (N), large protein (L), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), glycoprotein (G) and at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof, preferably including the human CD80 extracellular domain.
[0078] In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encodes at least the following vesicular stomatitis virus proteins in its genome: a nucleoprotein (N) comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:7 or a functional variant consistent with at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of SEQ ID NO:7; and a phosphoprotein (P) comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:8 or a functional variant consistent with SEQ ID NO:7. NO:8 At least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the functional variants are identical to SEQ ID NO:9; a large protein (L) comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:9 or at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the functional variants identical to SEQ ID NO:9; and a matrix protein (M) comprising the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:10 or at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the functional variants identical to SEQ ID NO:9; NO:10 is a functional variant with at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% consistent percentages.
[0079] Those skilled in the art will understand that the sequences of the vesicular stomatitis virus nucleoprotein (N), large protein (L), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), or glycoprotein (G) can be modified without losing the essential functions of those proteins. Such functional variants, as used herein, retain all or part of their essential functions or activities. For example, protein L is a polymerase and has essential functions during viral transcription and replication. Its functional variants must retain at least some of this ability. A good indication of retention of essential functions or activities is the successful generation of viruses (including these functional variants) that are still able to replicate and infect tumor cells. Virus generation and infection and replication assays in tumor cells can be tested in various analytical systems known to those skilled in the art (illustrative in vitro analyses are described by Muik et al., Cancer Res., 74(13), 3567-78, 2014).
[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encodes in its genome at least the vesicular stomatitis virus nucleoprotein (N), large protein (L), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), glycoprotein (G) and at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof, wherein the large protein (L) comprises an amino acid sequence having ≥80% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:9.

[0082] In another preferred embodiment, the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus encodes in its genome at least a vesicular stomatitis virus nucleoprotein (N), a large protein (L), a phosphoprotein (P), a matrix protein (M), a glycoprotein (G), and at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof, wherein the large protein (L) comprises an amino acid sequence having 80% or more sequence identity as SEQ ID NO:9 and the nucleoprotein (N) comprises an amino acid sequence having ≥90% sequence identity as SEQ ID NO:7.
[0083] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the RNA genome of the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention comprises or is composed of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:24. Alternatively, the RNA genome of the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention may also consist of or comprise those sequences in which the nucleic acids of the RNA genome undergo exchange according to genetic code degeneracy (this does not alter the individual amino acid sequences). In another preferred embodiment, the RNA genome of the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention comprises or is composed of a coding sequence that is identical to or at least 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to or composed of the coding sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:24.
[0084] It should be understood that the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention may encode other payloads in its genome, such as tumor antigens, other chemokines, cytokines or other immune regulatory components.
[0085] In another embodiment, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention further encodes a sodium iodide syn-transporter protein (NIS) in its genome. NIS is expressed and, for example, [the protein is then used in conjunction with other proteins].125 I. Together, we can cultivate a method that allows the use of NIS as an imaging reporter (Carlson et al., Current Gene Therapy, 12, 33-47, 2012).
[0086] Recombinant rhabdovirus
[0087] Certain wild-type rhabdovirus strains, such as wild-type VSV strains, are known to be neurotoxic. It has also been reported that infected individuals can rapidly establish a strong humoral response with high antibody titers primarily targeting glycoproteins. Neutralizing antibodies targeting glycoprotein G of rhabdoviruses in general and specifically VSV can limit viral spread and thereby mediate protection against reinfection. However, viral neutralization limits the repeated administration of rhabdoviruses to cancer patients.
[0088] To eliminate these drawbacks, wild-type glycoprotein G of rhabdovirus can be replaced by a glycoprotein from another virus. In this regard, glycoprotein replacement means (i) replacing the gene encoding wild-type glycoprotein G with the gene encoding glycoprotein GP of another virus, and / or (ii) replacing wild-type glycoprotein G with glycoprotein GP of another virus.
[0089] In a preferred embodiment, the rhabdovirus glycoprotein G is replaced by the glycoprotein GP of lymphocytic choriomeningovirus (LCMV), preferably by the WE-HPI strain. In an even more preferred embodiment, the rhabdovirus is a vesicular stomatitis virus having the glycoprotein GP of lymphocytic choriomeningovirus (LCMV), preferably having the WE-HPI strain. Such VSVs are described, for example, in WO2010 / 040526 and named VSV-GP. The advantages provided are (i) removal of VSV-G-mediated neurotoxicity and (ii) no antibody-neutralizing vector (as shown in mice).
[0090] The glycoprotein GP of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) can be GP1 or GP2. This invention includes glycoproteins from different LCMV strains. In particular, LCMV-GP can be derived from wild-type LCMV or LCMV strains LCMV-WE, LCMV-WE-HPI, and LCMV-WE-HP1 opt. In a preferred embodiment, the gene encoding the LCMV glycoprotein GP encodes a protein having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:11 or having an amino acid sequence that is at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11, while the functional characteristics of the recombinant rhabdovirus containing the glycoprotein GP encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:11 are maintained.
[0091] In another embodiment, the recombinant rhabdovirus glycoprotein G is replaced with the glycoprotein GP of Dandenong virus (DANDV) or Mopeya virus (MOPV). In a more preferred embodiment, the recombinant rhabdovirus is a vesicular stomatitis virus, wherein the glycoprotein G is replaced with the glycoprotein GP of Dandenong virus (DANDV) or Mopeya virus (MOPV). The advantages provided are (i) removal of VSV-G-mediated neurotoxicity and (ii) no vector antibody neutralization (as shown in mice).
[0092] DANDV is an old-world arenavirus. To date, only a single strain known to those skilled in the art exists that contains the glycoprotein GP and can be used as a donor for the glycoprotein GP contained in the recombinant rhabdovirus of this invention. The DANDV glycoprotein GP contained in the recombinant rhabdovirus of this invention has more than six glycosylation sites, particularly seven. The glycoprotein GP is exemplarily preferred to be that contained in DANDV, as is available under Genbank number EU136038. In one embodiment, the gene encoding the DNADV glycoprotein GP encodes an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:12 or a sequence having at least 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:12, thereby maintaining the functional characteristics of the recombinant rhabdovirus containing the glycoprotein GP encoding the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:12.
[0093] Mopea virus (MOPV) is an Old World arenavirus. Several strains known to those skilled in the art exist that contain the glycoprotein GP and can be used as donors of the glycoprotein GP contained in the recombinant rhabdovirus of this invention. The MOPV glycoprotein GP contained in the recombinant rhabdovirus of this invention has more than 6 glycosylation sites, particularly 7 glycosylation sites. The glycoprotein GP exemplarily preferred is that contained in Mopea virus, as obtained under Genbank number AY772170. In one embodiment, the gene encoding the glycoprotein GP of MOPV encodes an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:13 or a sequence having at least 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:13, and the functional characteristics of the recombinant rhabdovirus containing the glycoprotein GP encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:13 are maintained.
[0094] CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein
[0095] CD80, also known as B7-1, is a 60kD single-chain type I glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD80 is expressed on activated / mature antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. CD80 binds to CD28 and CD152 (CTLA-4). Together with CD86 (B7-2), CD80 plays a crucial role in regulating T cell activation. The interaction between CD80 and CD28 provides a co-stimulatory signal for T cell activation in the TCR conjugation complex. Its interaction with CTLA-4 (e.g., expressed on regulatory T cells), which has a higher affinity for CD80 than CD28 and acts as a decoy receptor for CD80 rather than an inhibitory signaling receptor, deprives T cells of the crucial co-stimulatory CD28 signal.
[0096] In the past, it has been proposed that oncolytic viruses, particularly VSV-GP, can induce tumor cell lysis and immunogenic cell death and stimulate innate immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Further proposals have suggested that immunomodulatory proteins be encoded into the genome of the oncolytic virus, and that the expression of these immunomodulatory proteins can support the oncolytic effect of the virus through local immune stimulation.
[0097] One challenge in expressing immunostimulatory molecules (such as chemokines and / or cytokines) from the viral backbone is that not only must enhanced antitumor immunity be achieved, but antiviral immune responses induced by these immunostimulatory molecules must also be avoided. It is important to note that additional immunostimulatory molecules should not limit the oncolytic potential of the virus to the extent that the potential benefits gained from the expression of the therapeutic payload are outweighed by a loss of oncolytic efficacy.
[0098] The inventors hypothesize that the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein can provide effective T cell costimulation upon T cell receptor binding, while simultaneously preventing the activation of natural killer cells (activated by, for example, IL2, IL15, and CD137), thus limiting viral replication and / or persistence in the early stages. The CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein is a potent costimulatory molecule active in the initiation and reactivation of antigen-specific T cells. This stimulation is crucial because T cell costimulatory signals are typically underexpressed in tumors, leading to clonal T cell unresponsiveness, loss of effector function, and T cell death.
[0099] By providing the recombinant rhabdovirus according to the invention, tumor-restricted replication of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein can induce local expression of a T cell co-stimulatory fusion protein, which further enhances anti-tumor T cell immunity by providing activation signals to T cells in an FcγR-dependent manner in the case of T cell receptor binding (e.g., tumor cell recognition).
[0100] The inventors unexpectedly discovered that the recombinant rhabdovirus according to the invention, encoding a CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein, can induce tumor cell lysis and immunogenic cell death and stimulate innate immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, prolonged survival was observed in established mouse tumor models treated with such recombinant rhabdoviruses armed with CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins.
[0101] Unexpectedly, infection with the recombinant rhabdovirus according to the invention encoding the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein resulted in a strong increase in FcγR expression within the infected tumor. The inventors demonstrated that the optimal biological activity of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein is largely dependent on FcγR.
[0102] Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the potent antitumor effect obtained by the recombinant rhabdovirus according to the invention, which encodes the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein, is at least in part based on the FcγR-dependent activity of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein, which is enhanced by the increased expression of FcγR in infected tumors after infection with the recombinant rhabdovirus according to the invention.
[0103] Alternatively, in this case, it has also been considered to provide a CD86(B7-2) fusion protein, namely a recombinant rhabdovirus encoding a CD86 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein, and in particular a VSV-GP encoding a CD86 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein, wherein the gene encoding glycoprotein G of recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus is replaced by the gene encoding glycoprotein GP of lymphocyte choriomeningovirus (LCMV), and / or glycoprotein G is replaced by glycoprotein GP of LCMV.
[0104] As used in this article, "CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein" refers to a fusion protein or a functional variant thereof that contains or is composed of a CD80 extracellular domain fused to the Fc domain of IgG.
[0105] The “CD80 extracellular domain” includes naturally occurring polypeptides such as different isoforms and their functional variants or components thereof, preferably the human CD80 extracellular domain.
[0106] In one aspect, recombinant rhabdoviruses encoding at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof in their genome can enhance the recruitment of T cells and dendritic cells to the tumor environment.
[0107] On the other hand, the genomic expression of at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof by a recombinant rhabdovirus provides a therapeutic option for patients with cold tumors and low mutational burden to enhance T cell-mediated anti-tumor T cell responses against poorly immunogenic tumors.
[0108] In another respect, the genome of a self-recombinant rhabdovirus expressing at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof does not induce additional natural killer cells (exceeding the effect of the parental VSV-GP virus) and selectively activates antigen-specific T cells.
[0109] In another instance, the expression of at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof by the genome of a self-recombinant rhabdovirus did not induce super-efficacy.
[0110] On the other hand, the expression of at least one CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein or a functional variant thereof in the genome of a recombinant rhabdovirus does not increase early antiviral immunity against the recombinant rhabdovirus.
[0111] On the other hand, in addition to being locally expressed in tumors due to its solubility, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein can also reach tumor-draining lymphatic vessels (e.g., lymph nodes).
[0112] Human CD80 protein (UniProtKB-P33681|CD80_human T lymphocyte activation antigen CD80) contains a total of 288 amino acids or is composed of a total of 288 amino acids and contains a signal peptide, an extracellular domain, and a transmembrane / topological domain:
[0113]
[0114] In one embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises or is composed of amino acids 1-242 of SEQ ID NO:6, or has at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity with amino acids 1-242 of SEQ ID NO:6.
[0115] In another embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises or is composed of the following sequences:
[0116]
[0117] Or a sequence that is at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:1.
[0118] In one embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein includes a signal peptide sequence. In another embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion does not include a signal peptide sequence.
[0119] The term "signal peptide" or "signal peptide sequence" describes a peptide sequence typically 10 to 30 amino acids in length located at the N-terminus of a newly synthesized secretory or membrane polypeptide, which guides the polypeptide across or into the cell membrane (plasma membrane in prokaryotes and endoplasmic reticulum membrane in eukaryotes). It is usually subsequently removed. In particular, signal peptides can be able to guide polypeptides into the cell's secretory pathway.
[0120] It should be understood that, for the purposes of this invention, other (i.e., other than wild-type) signal peptide sequences may be used in conjunction with CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins. Such other signal peptide sequences may replace the original wild-type signal peptide sequence. Signal peptides include peptides that guide newly synthesized proteins in the ribosome to the ER and further to the Golgi complex for delivery to the plasma membrane or out of the cell. They generally comprise a hydrophobic amino acid string and include immunoglobulin leader sequences and other sequences known to those skilled in the art. Signal peptides particularly include peptides capable of being acted upon by signal peptidases, which are specific proteases located on the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. Signal peptides are well known to those skilled in the art and may include any known signal peptide. The signal peptide is incorporated at the N-terminus of the protein and processed by a signal peptidase into the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein to produce an active biological form.
[0121] In one embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises a wild-type CD80 signal peptide sequence. In a preferred embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises a wild-type human CD80 signal peptide sequence, which is amino acids 1-34 of SEQ ID NO:6 or a sequence having at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity with amino acids 1-34 of SEQ ID NO:6.
[0122] In another embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises a signal peptide sequence having the following sequence:
[0123] MGWSCIILFLVATATGVHS(SEQ ID NO:5)
[0124] Or a signal peptide sequence that is at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:5.
[0125] In relevant embodiments, the CD80 extracellular domain of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises or is composed of a sequence identical to or having at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of SEQ ID NO:1, and further comprises a signal peptide sequence according to or identical to SEQ ID NO:1. NO:5 has a signal peptide sequence with at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% homology.
[0126] CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins may also include fusion proteins having a truncated signal peptide sequence. In this context, truncation refers to a signal peptide sequence that is shorter than the original signal peptide sequence but retains at least a portion of its functionality to act as a signal peptide. For example, the human CD80 signal peptide sequence comprises or consists of amino acids 1-34 of SEQ ID NO:6. CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins having a truncated signal peptide sequence may have amino acids 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 of SEQ ID NO:6. In another embodiment, the signal peptide may comprise or consist of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:5. CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins with truncated signal peptide sequences may have amino acids 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 from amino acids 1-18 of SEQ ID NO:5.
[0127] The CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein having a truncated signal peptide sequence may also be a protein containing SEQ ID No:1 or having at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% similarity to SEQ ID NO:1 and additionally containing a signal peptide sequence shorter than the original signal peptide sequence. Furthermore, for example, the signal peptide sequence may have amino acids 33, 32, 31, 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 from amino acids 1-18 of SEQ ID NO:6, or in another embodiment, the signal peptide may comprise or consist of the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:5. The CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein having a truncated signal peptide sequence may have amino acids 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 from amino acids 1-18 of SEQ ID NO:5.
[0128] The CD80 extracellular domain can have any source, including mice and rats. Preferably, the CD80 extracellular domain protein is derived from a human source.
[0129] The Fc domain of IgG may be covalently fused to the N-terminal or C-terminal portion of the CD80 extracellular domain or fused at an internal location. In some embodiments, the Fc domain of the IgG molecule may be fused to the CD80 extracellular domain via a linker peptide (such as a GS linker). Preferably, the Fc domain is fused to the C-terminal portion of the CD80 extracellular domain.
[0130] In some embodiments, the Fc domain has a wild-type sequence. In other embodiments, the Fc domain is a natural or engineered variant. In some embodiments, the Fc domain contains one or more mutations, substitutions, and / or deletions compared to its wild-type sequence. In some embodiments, an Fc domain that has altered interactions with one or more Fcγ receptors (FcγRI, FcγRIIA, FcγRIIB, FcγRIIIA, FcγRIIIB) is selected. Preferably, the Fc domain is derived from human IgG, such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4. More preferably, the Fc domain is derived from human IgG1.
[0131] In a preferred embodiment, the Fc domain of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises or is composed of the following sequences:
[0132]
[0133] Or a sequence that is at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:2.
[0134] In a preferred embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises or is composed of the following sequences:
[0135]
[0136]
[0137] Or a sequence that is at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:4.
[0138] In another preferred embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises or is composed of a CD80 extracellular domain fused to or formed with the Fc domain of IgG1, wherein the CD80 extracellular domain comprises or is composed of amino acids 1-207 of SEQ ID NO:4 or has at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% homology with amino acids 1-207 of SEQ ID NO:4, and the Fc domain comprises or is composed of amino acids 208-433 of SEQ ID NO:4 or has at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 98%, or 99% homology with amino acids 1-207 of SEQ ID NO:4, and the Fc domain comprises or is composed of amino acids 208-433 of SEQ ID NO:4, or has at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% homology with amino acids 1-207 of SEQ ID NO:4, and the Fc domain ...2%, 93%, 94%, The amino acid 208-433 of NO:4 has at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% consistency.
[0139] In another preferred embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises or consists of the following sequences:
[0140]
[0141] Or a sequence that is at least 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to SEQ ID NO:3.
[0142] As used herein, in the case of two or more nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, the term "consistent" or "consistency percentage" refers to two or more sequences or subsequences being identical or having a specified percentage of identical nucleotide or amino acid residues when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence. To determine the consistency percentage, sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., a gap may be introduced in the first amino acid sequence or nucleic acid sequence to achieve optimal alignment with the second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence). The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acid or nucleotide positions are then compared. If a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue or nucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, the molecule is consistent at that position. The consistency percentage between two sequences is a function of the number of consistent positions common to the sequences (i.e., consistency % = number of consistent positions / total number of positions (i.e., overlapping positions) × 100). In some embodiments, where appropriate, after introducing a gap within the sequences, the two sequences being compared are of the same length (e.g., excluding any additional sequences extending beyond the compared sequences).
[0143] Mathematical algorithms can be used to determine the percentage of identity or similarity between two sequences. A preferred, non-limiting embodiment of the mathematical algorithm used to compare two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin and Altschul, 1990, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268, modified as described in Karlin and Altschul, 1993, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877. Such algorithms are incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs of Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410. A BLAST nucleotide search can be performed using the NBLAST program with a score of 100 and a word length of 12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to the nucleic acid encoding the relevant protein. A BLAST protein search can be performed using the XBLAST program with a score of 50 and a word length of 3 to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the relevant protein. To obtain gap alignments for comparative purposes, gapped BLAST can be used as described in Altschul et al., 1997, Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402. Alternatively, PSI-Blast can be used for iterative searches to detect distant relationships between (identical) molecules. When using BLAST, gapped BLAST, and PSI-Blast programs, preset parameters of individual programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used. Another preferred, non-limiting embodiment of the mathematical algorithm for comparing sequences is the algorithm of Myers and Miller, CABIOS (1989). Such algorithms are incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When using the ALIGN program to compare amino acid sequences, the PAM120 weighted residue table, vacancy length penalty 12, and vacancy penalty 4 can be used. Additional algorithms for sequence analysis are known in the art and include ADVANCE and ADAM as described in Torellis and Roboti, 1994, Comput. Appl. Biosci. 10:3-5; and FASTA as described in Pearson and Lipman, 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444-8. Within FASTA, ktup is a control option that sets the sensitivity and speed of the search. If ktup = 2, similar regions in the two compared sequences are obtained by observing aligned residue pairs; if ktup = 1, single aligned amino acids are examined. For protein sequences, ktup can be set to 2 or 1, or for DNA sequences, it can be set from 1 to 6. If ktup is not specified, the default value is 2 for proteins and 6 for DNA.Alternatively, the CLUSTAL W algorithm can be used for protein sequence alignment, as described by Higgins et al., 1996, Methods Enzymol. 266:383-402.
[0144] Functional variants of CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins include the aforementioned biologically active variants and biologically active fragments of CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins. Functional variants may have variations in the CD80 extracellular domain, Fc domain, and / or both domains. For example, some CD80 extracellular domain functional variants have been described in WO2017181152. In another embodiment, functional variants of the Fc domain have been described in WO17079117 and include, for example, a human IgG1 Fc domain with amino acid substitutions of L234F, L235E, and / or P331S.
[0145] For example, variants may have one or more different amino acids at the location specifically describing a CD80 extracellular domain or Fc domain protein. Variants may share at least about 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% or higher amino acid identity with such CD80 extracellular domains or Fc domains. Fragments may have the same amino acids as a given specific CD80 extracellular domain or Fc domain protein, but may lack specific portions or regions of the CD80 extracellular domain or Fc domain protein.
[0146] Functional variants of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein include only variants and fragments of the biologically active CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein. For the purposes of this invention, the biological activity of CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein variants or fragments encoded in the genome of a recombinant rhabdovirus is determined after its expression in individual cells or tumor cells. This means that biological activity is determined in the case of recombinant rhabdoviruses encoding CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein variants or fragments (e.g., in Transwell assays or in vitro tumor models). Preferably, biological activity is determined using vesicular virus encoding CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein variants or fragments. More preferably, biological activity is determined using VSV-GP encoding CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein variants or fragments.
[0147] Bioactivity may include one or more of the following capabilities: chemical inducer activity, antitumor activity, and regulation of cytokine expression, such as increased expression of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) peptide or decreased expression of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) peptide in syngeneic mammalian cell populations (including CD8-positive T cells, CD4-positive T cells, antigen-presenting cells, and tumor cells). Bioactivity may be tested, for example, but not limited to, according to the protocols shown in the examples. For the purposes of this invention, if a functional variant or fragment of a CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein exhibits at least 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein activity as shown in SEQ ID NO:3 or 4 (with or without a signal peptide sequence, respectively), then it is biologically active.
[0148] Rhabdoviruses possess antisense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) as their genetic material (genome). Antisense ssRNA viruses require RNA polymerase to form sense RNA. The sense RNA acts as viral mRNA, which is translated into proteins used to produce new viral material. Using the newly formed virus, more antisense RNA molecules are produced.
[0149] A typical rhabdovirus genome encodes at least five structural proteins in the order 3′-NPMGL-5′. The genome may contain other short intergenic regions or additional genes between structural proteins, and therefore its length and organization may vary.
[0150] According to the present invention, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene can be introduced into any location in the rhabdovirus genome. Depending on the insertion site, the transcription efficiency of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene can be affected. Generally, the transcription efficiency of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene decreases from 3′ insertion to 5′ insertion. The CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene can be inserted into the following genomic locations: 3′-CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein-NPMGL-5', 3′-N-CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein-PMGL-5', 3′-NP-CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein-MGL-5', 3′-NPM-CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein-GL-5', 3′-NPMG-CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein-L-5', or 3′-NPMGL-CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein-5'. In a preferred embodiment, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene is inserted between the G protein and the L protein.
[0151] Following infection by tumor cells, the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene, encoded in the genome of a recombinant rhabdovirus, is transcribed into positive-sense RNA and subsequently translated by the tumor cells into the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein. The term "encoding" refers to the inherent property of a specific nucleotide sequence in a nucleic acid to serve as a template for the synthesis of other polymers and macromolecules in biological processes, possessing a defined sequence of nucleotides (e.g., RNA molecules) or amino acids and the biological characteristics derived from them. Therefore, a gene encodes a protein if the desired protein is produced in a cell or another biological system through transcription and subsequent translation of mRNA. Both the coding strand (whose nucleotide sequence is identical to the mRNA sequence) and the non-coding strand can serve as templates for gene transcription and can be referred to as the encoded protein or other products of the gene. The nucleic acid and nucleotide sequence encoding a protein may include introns.
[0152] The transcription of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene is preferably not under the control of its own promoter and is strictly related only to viral replication, ensuring that the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein is targeted to the site of viral replication and spread (tumor). Therefore, the transcription of the CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein gene is not controlled by other components such as promoters or inducible gene expression components.
[0153] Translated CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins typically exist in solution as dimeric fusion proteins comprising two identical monomeric mature CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins. In this embodiment, each monomeric CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein comprises a CD80 extracellular domain fused to the C-terminus and N-terminus of the IgG Fc domain. The two CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion monomers are covalently linked together by disulfide bonds formed between cysteine residues in each monomer, thereby forming a CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion protein dimer.
[0154] It should be understood that nucleic acid sequences can vary with or without alteration of the major sequence of the encoded polypeptide. Nucleic acids encoding proteins include any nucleic acid with different nucleotide sequences but encoding the same amino acid sequence of protein due to degeneracy of the genetic code. The selection of nucleic acid sequences that will result in the expression of CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins, and especially any specific CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins disclosed herein, is within the knowledge of those skilled in the art. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the amino acid sequence of CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins are prepared by a variety of methods known in the art. These methods include (but are not limited to) isolation from natural sources or preparation via oligonucleotide-mediated (or site-directed) mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, and cartridge mutagenesis of previously prepared CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins.
[0155] Pharmaceutical Composition
[0156] Of course, the actual pharmaceutically effective or therapeutic dose will depend on factors known to those skilled in the art, such as the patient's age and weight, route of administration, and severity of disease. In any case, recombinant rhabdovirus will be administered at a dosage and in a manner that allows for the delivery of a pharmaceutically effective dose, based on the patient's unique condition.
[0157] Generally, for the treatment and / or relief of the diseases, conditions, and symptoms mentioned herein, and depending on the specific disease, condition, or symptom to be treated, the efficacy of the specific recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention to be used, the specific route of administration, and the specific pharmaceutical formulation or composition used, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention will typically be administered at a dose, for example, twice a week, once a week, or once a month, but this can be significantly varied, particularly depending on the parameters mentioned below. Therefore, in some cases, using a dose less than the minimum dose given above may be sufficient, while in others it may exceed the upper limit. When administering a larger dose, it may be preferable to divide it into multiple smaller doses within a day.
[0158] For use in therapy, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention is formulated into a pharmaceutical composition suitable for facilitating administration to animals or humans. Typical formulations are prepared by mixing the recombinant virus with a physiologically acceptable carrier, excipient, or stabilizer in an aqueous or aqueous or non-aqueous suspension.

Treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, and head and neck cancer is preferred.
[0185] Recombinant rhabdovirus may be administered by any suitable means, including oral, non-enteral, subcutaneous, intratumoral, intravenous, intradermal, intraperitoneal, intrapulmonary, and intranasal administration. Non-enteral infusion includes intramuscular, intravenous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. Additionally, recombinant rhabdovirus is suitable for administration by pulsatile infusion. In one aspect, depending partly on whether the administration is short-term or long-term, administration may be provided by injection, preferably intravenous or subcutaneous.
[0186] Depending on the specific recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention and its specific pharmacokinetic and other properties, the recombinant rhabdovirus may be administered once daily, once every two days, once every three days, once every four days, once every five days, once every six days, once weekly, once monthly, or in a similar manner.

In one aspect, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention is administered to the patient in up to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 doses over a predetermined period. Preferably, the first round of treatment is completed within three weeks. During the three-week treatment period, the recombinant rhabdovirus may be administered to the patient as described in the following protocols: (i) once on day 0; (ii) on day 0 and day 3; (iii) on day 0, day 3, and day 6; (iv) on day 0, day 3, day 6, and day 9; (v) on day 0 and day 5; (vi) on day 0, day 5, and day 10; (vii) on day 0, day 5, day 10, and day 15. These courses of treatment may be repeated, and a second or third round of treatment may be required depending on the outcome of the first round of treatment. Based on the first round of treatment, the second round of treatment preferably includes further treatment on days 21, 42, and 63. In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention is administered to the patient according to the following schedule: days 0, 3, 21, 42, and 63.
[0188] The term "inhibition" is used herein in the same context as "improvement" and "relief," meaning the reduction or decrease of one or more characteristics of a disease. The recombinant rhabdovirus or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention will be formulated, administered, and applied in accordance with good medical practice. In this context, considerations include the specific disease being treated, the specific mammal being treated, the individual patient's clinical symptoms, the cause of the disease, the site of drug delivery, the method of administration, the timing of administration, and other factors known to a medical practitioner. The "therapeuticly effective amount" of the recombinant rhabdovirus to be administered will be adjusted for these considerations and will be the minimum amount required to prevent, improve, or treat clinical symptoms of cancer, particularly the minimum amount effective for these conditions.
[0189] In another aspect, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention can be administered multiple times and in several doses. In one aspect, a first dose of the recombinant rhabdovirus is administered intratumorally, followed by an intravenous administration of subsequent doses of the recombinant rhabdovirus. In another aspect, a first dose and at least one or more subsequent doses of the recombinant rhabdovirus are administered intratumorally, followed by an intravenous administration of subsequent doses of the recombinant rhabdovirus. Subsequent doses may be administered on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, or 31 after the initial intratumoral administration.

[0191] In another case, recombinant rhabdovirus was administered intravenously and a subsequent dose of recombinant rhabdovirus was administered intratumorally.
[0192] In another instance, recombinant rhabdovirus was administered intravenously and intratumorally at various time points.
[0193] As stated above, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention has numerous uses for stimulating an immune response against cancer cells. Strong immune activation potential has been observed, but this is limited by the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, in a preferred aspect, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention can be administered systemically to a patient. Systemic applicability is a key property because many cancers are highly metastatic and allow for treatment of tumor lesions that are difficult or impossible to reach. Due to this unique immunostimulatory property, the recombinant rhabdovirus according to the present invention is particularly useful for treating metastatic tumors.
[0194] Some patients develop resistance to checkpoint inhibitor therapy, and these patients appear to have accumulated mutations in the IFN pathway. Therefore, in one aspect, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention, and especially the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus of the present invention, can be used to treat patients resistant to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Due to the unique immunomodulatory properties of the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention, and especially the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus, such treated patients may become suitable for continued checkpoint inhibitor therapy.
[0195] In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention, and especially the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus of the present invention, can be used to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have completed checkpoint inhibitor therapy using PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors (e.g., PD-1 or PD-L1 antagonist antibodies).

[0211] The combinations provided herein comprise (i) the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention and (iia) a PD-1 pathway inhibitor, preferably an antagonistic antibody against PD-1 or PD-L1, or (iib) an SMACm / IAP antagonist. Further, use is provided for such combinations comprising (i) and (iia) or (i) and (iib) for the treatment of cancers as described herein.
[0212] In another aspect, a combination therapy is provided comprising using (i) the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention and (iia) a PD-1 pathway inhibitor or (iib) an SMACm / IAP antagonist. In such a combination therapy, the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention may be administered simultaneously, sequentially, or alternately with the PD-1 pathway inhibitor or SMACm / IAP antagonist.
[0213] For example, “simultaneous” administration includes administering the active agent within the same general time period (e.g., on the same day, but not necessarily simultaneously). Alternating administration includes administering one agent during a time period (e.g., over a course of several days or a week), followed by administering another agent during a subsequent time period (e.g., over a course of several days or a week), and then repeating the pattern for one or more cycles. Sequential or continuous administration includes administering one agent with one or more doses during a first time period (e.g., over a course of several days or a week), followed by administering another agent with one or more doses during a second time period (e.g., over a course of several days or a week). Overlapping schedules may also be used, which include administering the active agent on different days within the treatment period, not necessarily in a conventional order. Variations of these general guidelines may also be used, for example, based on the agent used and the individual’s condition.
[0214] The sequential treatment schedule includes administering the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention followed by the administration of a PD-1 pathway inhibitor or an SMACm / IAP antagonist. The sequential treatment schedule also includes administering the recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention followed by the administration of a PD-1 pathway inhibitor or an SMACm / IAP antagonist. The sequential treatment schedule may include administration on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, or 31 after each other.
[0215] In the context of this invention and all embodiments, a PD-1 pathway inhibitor is a compound that inhibits the interaction between PD-1 and its receptor. PD-1 pathway inhibitors can attenuate PD-1 pathway signaling, preferably mediated by the PD-1 receptor. A PD-1 inhibitor can be any inhibitor targeting any member of the PD-1 pathway capable of antagonizing PD-1 pathway signaling. The inhibitor can be an antagonistic antibody targeting any member of the PD-1 pathway, preferably targeting the PD-1 receptor, PD-L1, or PD-L2. Alternatively, a PD-1 pathway inhibitor can be a fragment of the PD-1 receptor or the PD-1 receptor itself that blocks the activity of the PD-1 ligand.

[0311] Virus generation, production, and virus-producing cells
[0312] The present invention also provides a virus-producing cell, characterized in that the cell produces recombinant rhabdovirus or recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus according to the present invention.
[0313] The cells can be of any origin and can exist in isolated cell form or as cells contained in a cell population. Preferably, the cells that produce recombinant rhabdovirus or recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus are mammalian cells. In a more preferred embodiment, the virus-producing cells of the present invention are characterized in that the mammalian cells are pluripotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), neural stem cells (NSCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), HeLa cells, HEK cells, any HEK293 cells (e.g., HEK293F or HEK293T), Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHOs), young hamster kidney (BHK) cells, or Vero cells or bone marrow-derived tumor-infiltrating cells (BM-TICs).
[0314] Alternatively, the virus-producing cells can be human cells, monkey cells, mouse cells, or hamster cells. Those skilled in the art are familiar with methods suitable for testing whether given cells produce virus and whether such specific cells fall within the scope of this invention. In this regard, there is no specific limitation on the amount of virus produced by the cells of this invention. A preferred viral titer in the crude supernatant of the given cell culture after infection and without further downstream processing is ≥1 × 10⁻⁶. 7 TCID50 / ml or ≥1×10 8 One genome copy / ml.
[0315] In a particular embodiment, the virus-producing cell of the present invention is characterized in that the cell comprises one or more expression cartridges for expressing at least one gene selected from the group consisting of: genes n, l, p and m encoding proteins N, L, P and M of VSV, and gene gp encoding LCMV-GP, Dandenong-GP or Mopeya-GP glycoprotein.
[0316] The virus-generating cells in this invention include classic packaging cells for generating recombinant rhabdoviruses from non-replicating vectors and generating cells for generating recombinant rhabdoviruses from replicating vectors. Packaging cells typically contain one or more plastids expressing genes that are lacking in the individual vectors to be packaged and / or essential for virus generation. Such cells are known to those skilled in the art, who can select appropriate cell lines suitable for the desired purpose.
[0317] The recombinant rhabdovirus of the present invention can be generated according to methods known to those skilled in the art, and includes (but is not limited to) using a combination of (1) cDNA transfected into cells, or (2) cDNA transfected into helper cells, or (3) cDNA transfected into cells further infected with helper virus / microvirus to trans-provide the remaining components or activity required to generate infectious or non-infectious recombinant rhabdovirus. When using any of these methods (e.g., helper virus / microvirus, helper cell lines, or cDNA transfection only), the minimum required component is a DNA molecule containing cis-acting signals for (1) capsidating genomic (or antigenomic) RNA via rhabdovirus N, P, and L proteins and (2) replicating genomic or antigenomic (replication intermediate) RNA equivalents.
[0318] The replication assembly, or replicon, is an RNA strand containing at least the leader and tail sequences of a rhabdovirus at both the 5' and 3' ends. Genomically, the leader is located at the 3' end and the tail at the 5' end. Any RNA located between these two replication signals will then be replicated. The leader and tail regions must also contain at least the minimum cis-acting components necessary for initiating transcription and replication, for N protein capsidation and polymerase binding. For the preparation of recombinant rhabdovirus, microviruses containing the G gene also contain a leader region, a tail region, and a G gene with appropriate initiation and termination signals for the production of G protein mRNA. If the microvirus further contains an M gene, appropriate initiation and termination signals for the production of M protein mRNA must also be present.
[0319] For any gene contained within the genome of a recombinant rhabdovirus, the gene is flanked by appropriate transcription initiation and termination signals that will allow expression of those genes and the production of protein products (Schnell et al., Journal of Virology, pp. 2318-2323, 1996). To produce a “non-infectious” recombinant rhabdovirus, the recombinant rhabdovirus must possess a minimum number of replicon components and N, P, and L proteins, and it must contain the M gene. This produces a cell-derived, but non-infectious, viral particle. To produce an “infectious” particle, the viral particle must additionally contain proteins that can mediate viral particle binding and fusion, such as through the use of attachment proteins or receptor ligands. The natural receptor ligand for rhabdoviruses is the G protein.
[0320] Any cell that will allow the assembly of recombinant rhabdoviruses can be used. One method for preparing infectious viral particles involves infecting a suitable cell line with plasmids encoding T7 RNA polymerase or other suitable phage polymerases, such as T3 or SP6 polymerases. The cells are then transfected with individual cDNAs containing genes encoding G, N, P, L, and M rhabdovirus proteins. These cDNAs will provide the proteins used to construct recombinant rhabdovirus particles. Transfection of cells can be performed using any method known in the art.
[0321] The cell line is also transfected with "polycistronic cDNA" containing the equivalent of the rhabdovirus genomic RNA. If the infectious recombinant rhabdovirus particle intends to lyse in the infected cell, it must contain genes encoding the N, P, M, and L proteins, as well as any heterologous nucleic acid segments. If the infectious recombinant rhabdovirus particle does not intend to lyse, the gene encoding the M protein is not included in the polycistronic cDNA. "Polycistronic cDNA" means cDNA containing at least a transcription unit encoding the genes encoding the N, P, and L proteins. The recombinant rhabdovirus polycistronic cDNA may also contain genes encoding protein variants or polypeptide fragments thereof, or therapeutic nucleic acids or proteins. Alternatively, any protein or fragment thereof intended to initially associate with the first generated viral particle may be trans-supplied.
[0322] Polycistronic cDNA containing genes encoding CD80 extracellular domain Fc fusion proteins is also considered. The considered polycistronic cDNA may contain genes encoding protein variants, genes encoding reporter proteins, therapeutic nucleic acids, and / or NPL or NPLM genes. The first step in generating recombinant rhabdovirus is to express RNA as a genomic or antigenomic equivalent of cDNA. This RNA is then packaged by the N protein and subsequently replicated by the P / L protein. The resulting recombinant virus can be recovered. If the G protein is not present in the recombinant RNA genome, it is usually supplied trans-. If neither the G nor the M protein is present, both are supplied trans-. For the preparation of “non-infectious rhabdovirus” particles, the procedure can be the same as above, except that the polycistronic cDNA transfected into cells will contain only the rhabdovirus N, P, and L genes. The polycistronic cDNA of non-infectious rhabdovirus particles may additionally contain genes encoding proteins.
[0323] Transfected cells are typically incubated at the desired temperature, usually around 37°C, for at least 24 hours. For non-infectious viral particles, the supernatant is collected and the viral particles are isolated. For infectious viral particles, the virus-containing supernatant is harvested and transferred to fresh cells. The fresh cells are incubated for approximately 48 hours, and the supernatant is collected.
[0324] Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following more detailed embodiments, which illustrate the principles of the invention by way of example.
[0325] Example
[0326] Example 1
[0327] Generate VSV-GP-huCD80-Fc(IgG1) virus rescue
[0328] The genome of the oncolytic virus VSV-GP was engineered to encode the CD80-Fc gene to locally express the CD80-Fc fusion protein at the tumor site during viral replication. A replicative VSV-GP-CD80-Fc viral variant was generated from bacterial plasmids containing cDNA for the complete VSV-GP viral genome and human CD80-Fc using reverse genetics (cloning of the gene of interest (GOI), viral rescue, and purification of duplicate plaques). The pVSV-GP-CD80-Fc plastid is based on plastid pVSV-XN1 (Schnell et al.) which contains the complete cDNA genome of the VSV Indiana serotype under T7 promoter control. To generate the pVSV-GP-CD80-Fc variant, the entire sequence of the VSV G envelope protein was replaced with a codon-optimized sequence of the GP envelope protein from lymphocytic choriomeningovirus (LCMV, WE-HPI strain). Additionally, the synthetic nucleic acid encoding the CD80-Fc gene was inserted between the glycoprotein GP and the viral polymerase L via Gibson assembly. Transcription of the CD80-Fc gene in a viral infection context was ensured by an additional VSV start signal sequence at the 3' end and an additional stop signal sequence at the 5' end of the CD80-Fc open reading frame.
[0329] HEK293T cells or any other VSV are allowed to recover (or rescue) infectious virus from plasmonic cDNA by transfection using standard transfection methods (e.g., CaPO4 precipitation, liposomal DNA delivery). In short, HEK293T cells are transfected with pSF-CAG-amp-based expression plasmids encoding VSV proteins N, P, and L, and codon-optimized T7-polymerase. Additionally, plasmids encoding viral genomic cDNA of VSV-GP, VSV-GP-CD80-Fc, or variants thereof are co-transfected. In the first step of the rescue process, the T7 polymerase transcribes the viral RNA genome from the plasmid-encoded viral cDNA. In the second step, the viral RNA genome is further amplified by exogenously expressed VSV-L and -P proteins from the co-transfected plasmids. The viral RNA genome is co-transcribed and lichenified by the VSV-N protein. Furthermore, the P / L polymerase complex allows transcription of the entire viral gene product set N, P, M, GP, and L, as well as the inserted CD80-Fc variant. The viral RNA genome was then packaged into infectious VSV particles containing ribonucleoproteins, matrix proteins, and the viral envelope GP. The viral particles were released from the cell via budding.
[0330] First, the rescued virus is passaged in a permissible cell line (such as HEK293T). Several rounds of plaque purification are performed, followed by the preparation of a virus stock using standard methods. In short, HEK293T cells are infected with a series of tenfold dilutions of the rescued pre-seed. After approximately two hours, the cell monolayer is washed twice and overlaid with medium containing 0.8% low-melting-point agarose. Between 24 and 48 hours post-infection, plaques are selected and subjected to another round of plaque purification or virus stock preparation.

[0332] Validation of Viral Adaptability - TCID 50 / Cell killing
[0333] Figure 3A-B
[0334] Infect suspension cultures (freestyle culture medium) with VSV-GP or VSV-GP-CD80-Fc at a low MOI (0.0005). TMHEK293F cells were grown in 293 expression medium (ThermoFisher Scientific). On the day of infection, cell confluence was 60%–70%. One well was counted (Countess™ cell counter, Invitrogen), and the remaining wells were then infected with either the viral construct VSV-GP (GP) or VSV-GP-CD80-Fc at 0.005 MOI. Culture supernatant (3 mL total volume) was harvested, and samples were analyzed at 8 h, 16 h, 24 h, 32 h, 40 h, and 48 h post-infection for viral replication and cell killing. Viral replication was assessed by detecting the viral genome in the culture supernatant at specified time points using qPCR (Figure 3A). Virus-induced cell killing was assessed by counting viable cells in the culture samples at specified time points (Figure 3B). Both viruses expressed the same pattern, indicating that the addition of the human CD80-Fc transgene did not affect viral fitness.
[0335] Example 3
[0336] Load expression - ELISA
[0337] Figure 4
[0338] The supernatant from HEK293 cells infected with VSV-GP-CD80-Fc was analyzed using ELISA at different time points following viral infection. Expression of the virus-encoded CD80-Fc fusion protein in infected mammalian cells was validated by infecting HEK293 cells with either the parental virus VSV-GP or the novel virus VSV-GP-CD80-Fc encoding CD80-Fc using MOI1. As measured by ELISA, expression of the CD80-Fc transgene in the tissue culture supernatant was readily detectable at 24, 31, and 48 hours post-infection.

[0340] VSV-GP-huCD80-Fc (in vivo)-CT26.CL25-IFNARKO tumor model (high load expression)
[0341] Figure 5A-B
[0342] Using the CT26.CL25-IFARKO tumor model, engineered to lack the interferon alpha receptor (IFNAR) to better reflect human patient outcomes and improve viral replication and load expression in the murine system, a back-to-back comparison was performed between the parental virus VSV-GP and a novel virus encoding CD80-Fc, VSV-GP-CD80-Fc. For this purpose, on days 0 and 3 (survival plot), mice with established tumors were compared at 2 × 10⁻⁶ mmol / L.7 TCID 50 Two viruses were administered intravenously (IV). As depicted in Figure (A), the parental virus VSV-GP did not show a significant improvement in survival in tumor-carrying animals at this low viral dose, while treatment with the novel payload-armed virus VSV-GP-CD80-Fc resulted in a significantly better survival benefit than the control and VSV-GP-treated animals. Furthermore, treatment with the CD80-Fc-encoded virus did not cause increased weight loss compared to the control and VSV-GP-treated animals (B), demonstrating the safety of this novel virus.

[0344] VSV-GP-huCD80-Fc (in vivo)-B16-F1-OVA and EMT-6 tumor models (low loading expression)
[0345] Figures 6A-C and 7A-B
[0346] On days 0 and 3, the low-tolerance tumor models B16-F1-OVA (Fig. 6A-C) and EMT-6 (Fig. 7A-B) were treated twice with intratumoral injections of the parental virus VSV-GP or the novel virus encoding CD80-Fc, VSV-GP-CD80-Fc, which allowed only minimal viral replication and thus permitted payload (CD80-Fc) expression. Only mice with well-established tumors were used for injection. Treatment of the B16-F1-OVA tumor model with VSV-GP-CD80-Fc resulted in improved tumor growth delay compared to control and VSV-GP. In EMT-6, tumor model treatment with VSV-GP-CD80-Fc resulted in increased tumor clearance (33% in treated animals) compared to control (0% of treated animals) and VSV-GP (8% of treated animals). Even in tumors with low levels of viral replication and load expression, these results demonstrate the uplift potential of the novel load-armed virus VSV-GP-CD80-Fc relative to its parent virus VSV-GP, which is closely related to the ability of the virus to replicate.

[0350] Balb / c mice with established CT26.CL25-IFNARKO (interferon α receptor-deficient CT26.CL25 tumor cells) tumors were used as controls or treated with 1×10 8 TCID 50A single intravenous injection of VSV-GP-CD80-Fc was administered. Tumors were excised three and seven days after treatment; intact RNA was extracted and analyzed using qPCR primers specific to the VSV n gene (Figure 8). C57BL / 6 mice with established LLC1-IFNARKO (interferon α receptor-deficient LLC1 tumor cells) tumors were used as controls, or 1×10⁻⁶ mice were used. 8 TCID 50 A single intravenous injection of VSV-GP or VSV-GP-CD80-Fc was administered. Three days after treatment, tumors were excised, and RNA was analyzed according to the manufacturer's instructions using a NanoString pan-cancer immunoprofiling graph and virus and payload-specific probes (peaks) (Figure 9). In summary, the results showed active replication of VSV-GP-CD80-Fc and expression of the payload mRNA in the tumors of the treated animals. Peak replication was observed around day three. The virus also persisted until at most day seven. C57BL / 6 mice with established LLC1-IFNARKO tumors were used as controls, or 1×10⁻⁶ mice were used. 8 TCID 50 The tumor was treated with a single intravenous injection of either VSV-GP or VSV-GP-CD80-Fc. Three days after treatment, the tumor was excised, fixed in formalin, and embedded in paraffin. Thin fractions were stained with antibodies specific to either VSV-N protein or human CD80 protein (Figure 10). N protein staining was similar for both VSV-GP and VSV-GP-CD80-Fc, while for the latter only human CD80 was specifically detected.
[0351] Example 7
[0352] CD80-Fc provides co-stimulation of T cells in human mixed leukocyte cultures. Blockade of FcγR reduces T cell activation, which is the main function of Fc.
[0353] Figures 12 and 13A-D
[0354] Human mixed leukocyte cultures (co-cultured leukocyte populations selected from two genetically distinct individuals to generate allogeneic T-cell stimulation) were used to evaluate the T-cell co-stimulatory potential of recombinant CD80-Fc (Figs. 12 and 13) and the contribution of wild-type human IgG1 Fc to T-cell co-stimulation (Fig. 13). For this purpose, IFNγ secretion was used as a readout, and the cultures in Fig. 12 were stimulated with increased amounts of recombinant CD80-Fc. IFNγ secretion was significantly improved in a dose-dependent manner by the addition of CD80-Fc to the cultures, thus validating its T-cell co-stimulatory potential. Based on these data and aiming to elucidate the contribution of Fc in the CD80-Fc fusion protein, human mixed leukocyte cultures were again stimulated with recombinant CD80-Fc protein (10 μg / ml) with or without an FcγR inhibitor (in the absence of human serum), and IFNγ was used as a readout (Fig. 13). Different subplots (ADs) depict different donor pairs. Adding an FcγR blocker significantly reduced CD80-Fc-mediated T cell stimulation, indicating that FcγR interaction and FcγR-mediated clustering are crucial for CD80-Fc activity.
[0355] Example 8
[0356] CD3-activated T cell activation in PBMCs via CD80-Fc Fc-dependent FcγR (F(ab)2 and IgG4)
[0357] Figures 14A-F
[0358] Human PBMC cultures were stimulated with low doses of anti-CD3 (clone OKT3; 10 ng / ml) and increased concentrations of recombinant CD80-Fc protein, with or without these doses. IFNγ (Fig. 14A-C) or IL2 (Fig. 14D-F) were used as readings, detected by standard ELISA. To confirm the T-cell co-stimulatory potential of recombinant CD80-Fc and the contribution of wild-type human IgG1 Fc to T-cell co-stimulation, and to validate Fc selection, the following recombinant CD80-Fc variants were compared back-to-back: CD80-Fc (a recombinant with viral load and wild-type human IgG1 Fc, Fig. 14C and F); CD80 FAB (the F(ab)2 variant of CD80-Fc, lacking Fc but retaining bivalent, Fig. 14A and D); and CD80 IgG4 (similar to CD80-Fc but with human IgG4 Fc, Fig. 14B and E). Although CD80-Fc itself did not significantly stimulate PBMCs, the combination of CD80-Fc with stimulating anti-CD3 antibodies resulted in a dose-dependent increase in T cell stimulation, as demonstrated by IFNγ and IL2 secretion (Fig. 14C and F). Conversely, CD80-Fc of the F(ab)2 variant lacking Fc was inactive and did not improve T cell stimulation, either alone or in combination with anti-CD3 stimulation (Fig. 14A and D). IgG4-based CD80 fusions (Fig. 14B and E) showed potential for co-stimulatory T cells, but to a much lower degree than IgG1-based CD80 fusion constructs (Fig. 14B and F), similar to viral loads engineered into the novel virus VSV-GP-CD80-Fc. These results further confirm the FcγR dependence of CD80-Fc and the selectivity of human IgG1 Fc. Furthermore, the absence of CD80-Fc activity without accompanying TCR stimulation demonstrates its favorable safety profile.

[0360] VSV-GP induces a local increase in FcγR within infected tumors loaded with CD80-FcMoA.
[0361] Figure 15
[0362] Given the dependence of viral CD80-Fc load on FcγR in response to T cell co-stimulation, this study aimed to investigate the effect of VSV-GP infection on FcγR expression in tumors. To this end, FcγR expression was measured using NanoString on day 7 post-infection in control or VSV-GP-infected LLC1-IFNARKO tumors. Mice were either untreated or treated with a specific viral dose of 10... 8 TCID 50VSV-GP infection. The X-axis shows measurements of different FcγRs (1, 2b, 3, or 4), and the Y-axis shows relative expression. As the data clearly show, VSV-GP-infected tumors unexpectedly exhibited strong upregulation of expression of all four analyzed FcγRs. These data provide a mechanistic basis for the favorable therapeutic interaction between oncolytic virus VSV-GP and FcγR-dependent, virus-encoded payload CD80-Fc, which facilitates virus-mediated FcγR upregulation within infected tumors.
[0363] Example 10
[0364] VSV-GP-CD80-Fc induces tumor-specific T-cell immunity superior to that induced by the parental virus VSV-GP.
[0365] Figure 16A-C
[0366] The effect of virus-encoded CD80-Fc payload on tumor antigen-specific T cell immunity was elucidated using the CT26.CL25-IFNARKO tumor model, which was treated with either the parental virus VSV-GP or the novel virus VSV-GP-CD80-Fc. Gp70 / tumor-specific T cells were detected in the spleen and blood of the treated mice depicted in Figure 16C by ELISPOT (Figure 16A) and FACS-based Dextramer staining (Figure 16B), respectively. The significant increase in the frequency of tumor antigen-specific T cells in the VSV-GP-CD80-Fc group compared to the VSV-GP group demonstrates the uplift potential of the novel, payload-armed virus relative to the parental virus, and further provides an immunological / mechanistic basis for the improved antitumor activity of the novel oncolytic virus VSV-GP-CD80-Fc.
[0367] Example 11
[0368] CD80-Fc does not interact with PD-L1.
[0369] Figure 17
[0370] It has been argued that CD80 can directly interact with programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1), thereby blocking the inhibitory interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor, programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), on activated T cells. To determine whether the CD80-Fc fusion protein encoded in VSV-GP-CD80-Fc directly interacts with PD-L1, we performed a binding study on CHO-K1 cells stably transfected with human PD-L1. The PD-L1-specific antibody avelumumab was used as a positive control. Although avelumumab readily binds to PD-L1 on the surface of CHO-K1-PD-L1 cells, the recombinant CD80-Fc protein failed to bind to PD-L1 at all tested dose levels. Therefore, we conclude that CD80-Fc does not directly bind to PD-L1.
[0371] Example 12
[0372] α-PD-1 and CD80-Fc improve T cell stimulation in an additive manner
[0373] Figure 18A-B
[0374] To address the question of whether the combination of CD80-Fc-mediated T-cell co-stimulation and antibody-mediated PD-1 inhibition could provide additional benefit relative to monotherapy, we employed a T-cell reporter system in which Jurkat T cells expressing stable PD-1 respond to T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation by upregulating biochemically detectable luciferase activity. Jurkat-PD-1 reporter cells were co-cultured with FcγR-positive THP1-PD-L1 cells stably expressing PD-L1 (as opposed to FcγR-negative CHO-K1 cells). The interaction between PD-L1 and PD-1 resulted in inhibition of Jurkat T-cell activation, comparable to T-cell suppression observed in cancer patients. TCR stimulation was achieved by adding a bispecific BiTE molecule that links CD33 on THP1 cells to CD3 on Jurkat T cells. As can be seen from Figure 18A, by blocking the inhibitory PD-1:PD-L1 interaction, the PD-1 blocking antibody pembrolizumab was able to restore CD3xCD33 BiTE-mediated T cell stimulation in a dose-dependent manner. Simultaneously and quite unexpectedly, despite the inhibitory PD-1:PD-L1 interaction, CD80-Fc itself provided co-stimulation of T cells and improved Jurkat T cell activation in a dose-dependent manner. A digitoxin (Dig)-specific antibody was used as an isotype control. In Figure 18B, a fixed anti-PD-1 concentration (10 nM, saturated) was combined with increasing concentrations of recombinant CD80-Fc. Adding CD80-Fc to the anti-PD-1 antibody produced superior T cell activation, providing clear evidence for the beneficial interactions of these different treatment modalities, driven by their complementary modes of action.

[0376] VSV-GP-muCD80-Fc (in vivo)-CT26.CL25-IFNARKO tumor model (high load expression)
[0377] Figures 19A-C
[0378] Using the CT26.CL25-IFNARKO tumor model again, this study compared the in vivo efficacy of recombinant murine CD80Fc, VSV-GP, or VSV-GP-muCD80Fc. For this purpose, a viral dose of 1×10⁻⁶ was administered on day 0 and day 3, respectively. 8 TCID 50 Furthermore, mice with established tumors were treated intravenously with 1 mg / kg of recombinant rodent CD80-Fc on days 0, 3, and 6.
[0379] As depicted in Figure 19(A), the survival curve shows improved treatment outcomes in the VSV-GP-muCD80Fc treatment group. The significant survival benefit compared to recombinant CD80Fc protein or VSV-GP can be measured by 1×10⁻⁶. 8 TCID 50 VSV-GP-muCD80Fc displays (Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test; P-value 0.0394).
[0380] Figure 19(B) depicts an overview of the average tumor size on a single tumor growth curve and reflects the results of using VSV-GP-muCD80Fc (dose 1×10⁻⁶). 8 TCID 50 The treatment showed strong tumor growth inhibition, with expression levels far exceeding those of VSV-GP and 1 mg / kg recombinant CD80Fc protein.
[0381] Weight loss was observed after the first injection of both viruses (Fig. 19(C)), however, recovery occurred immediately, unaffected by subsequent injections, and there was no significant difference between the parent virus (VSV-GP) and the virus encoding muCD80-Fc (VSV-GP-muCD80Fc).
[0382] In summary, this study specifically compared the in vivo effects of recombinant murine CD80Fc or VSV-GP with those of VSV-GP-muCD80Fc. It demonstrated that implementing muCD80Fc in the viral backbone achieved a synergistic effect on tumor growth and overall survival. sequence list <110> Boehringer Ingelheim International Ltd. <120>
