See MPEP §2111.03.

[0076] As used herein, "CD3", also known as "differentiation cluster 3", refers to a T cell co-receptor that helps activate cytotoxic T cells (e.g., CD8+ naive T cells) and T helper cells (e.g., CD4+ naive T cells), and is composed of four different chains: one CD3γ chain (e.g., Genbank accession numbers NM_000073 and MP_000064 (human)), one CD3δ chain (e.g., Genbank accession numbers NM_000732, NM_001040651, NP_00732, and NP_001035741 (human)), and two CD3ε chains (e.g., Genbank accession numbers NM_000733 and NP_00724 (human)). The CD3 chains are highly related cell surface proteins in the immunoglobulin superfamily that contain a single extracellular immunoglobulin domain. The CD3 molecule associates with the T cell receptor (TCR) and the ζ chain to form a T cell receptor (TCR) complex, which functions to generate activation signals in T lymphocytes. In certain embodiments, the CD3 is human CD3.

[0077] As used herein, "CD20" is also referred to as "B lymphocyte antigen CD20", "CD20 antigen", "CD20 receptor", "transmembrane 4 domain A1", "transmembrane 4 domain, subfamily A, member 1", "leukocyte surface antigen Leu-16", "Bp35", "B lymphocyte cell surface antigen 1", "LEU-16", "CVID5", "MS4A", "Bl" and "S7", and refers to an activated glycosylated phosphoprotein expressed on the surface of B cells and encoded by the human MS4A1 gene (e.g., Genbank accession numbers NM_152866, NM_021950, NP_068769 and NP_690605 (human)). CD20 plays a role in the development and differentiation of B cells into plasma cells. In a specific embodiment, CD20 is human CD20.

[0078] As used herein, "CD19", also referred to as "B cell surface antigen B4", "B cell antigen CD19", "CD19 antigen" and "Leu-12", refers to a cell surface protein expressed by B cells and encoded by the gene designated CD19 (e.g., HGNC:1633; NCBI Entrez Gene:930; Ensembl:ENSG00000177455; 107265; UniProtKB / Swiss-Prot:P15391). CD19 is involved in B cell activation and signal transduction pathways. In a specific embodiment, CD19 is human CD19.

[0079] As used herein, "lenalidomide" refers to the thalidomide analog 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione (Compound A), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or stereoisomer thereof. Lenalidomide is an immunomodulator with anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor properties.

[0080] The term "bispecific antibody" or "multispecific antibody" as used herein refers to any non-natural or alternative antibody format that binds to two or more different antigens (eg, a CD3xCD20 multispecific antibody).

[0081] The term "antibody" as used herein is broad and includes immunoglobulins or antibody molecules, including human antibodies, humanized antibodies, composite antibodies and chimeric antibodies and monoclonal or polyclonal antibody fragments. In general, antibodies are proteins or peptide chains that exhibit specific binding to specific antigens. Antibody structure is well known. According to the heavy chain constant region amino acid sequence, immunoglobulins can be divided into five major categories (i.e., IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM). IgA and IgG are further subdivided into isotypes IgA1, IgA2, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. Therefore, antibodies provided herein may belong to any one of the five major categories or corresponding subclasses. In specific embodiments, antibodies provided herein are IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4. In specific embodiments, antibodies provided herein are IgG. In other embodiments, antibodies provided herein are or IgG1. The antibody light chain of a vertebrate species can be designated as one of two distinctly different types (called κ and λ) based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain. Therefore, in certain embodiments, the antibodies provided herein may contain a kappa light chain constant domain. In certain embodiments, the antibodies provided herein may also contain a lambda light chain constant domain. According to specific embodiments, the antibodies provided herein include heavy and / or light chain constant regions from rat or human antibodies. In specific embodiments, the constant region is a human constant region.

[0082] In addition to the heavy and light chain constant domains, antibodies also contain an antigen binding region, which is composed of a light chain variable region (VL) and a heavy chain variable region (VH), each of which contains three domains (i.e., complementarity determining region 1 (CDR1), CDR2, and CDR3). "CDR" refers to one of the three hypervariable regions (HCDR1, HCDR2, or HCDR3) within the non-framework region of the immunoglobulin (Ig or antibody) VH β-sheet framework, or one of the three hypervariable regions (LCDR1, LCDR2, or LCDR3) within the non-framework region of the antibody VL β-sheet framework. Therefore, CDRs are variable region sequences interspersed within the framework region sequences. CDR regions are well known to those skilled in the art and have been defined, for example, by Kabat as the region of highest variability within the variable (V) domain of an antibody (Kabat et al., J. Biol. Chem. 252: 6609-6616 (1977); Kabat, Adv. Prot. Chem. 32: 1-75 (1978)). Chothia has also structurally defined CDR region sequences as residues that are not part of the conserved β-sheet framework and are therefore able to adapt to different conformations (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917 (1987)). Both terms are well-known in the art. AbM, Contact and IMGT have also defined CDR region sequences. Exemplary CDR region sequences are described herein, for example, in the tables and / or examples provided below. The positions of the CDRs within the variable regions of typical antibodies have been determined by comparison of a large number of structures (Al-Lazikani et al., J. Mol. Biol. 273:927-948 (1997); Morea et al., Methods 20:267-279 (2000)). Since the number of residues within the hypervariable region varies among different antibodies, the additional residues relative to the typical positions are conventionally numbered with a, b, c, etc. next to the residue number in the typical variable region numbering scheme (Al-Lazikani et al., supra (1997)). This nomenclature is also well known to those skilled in the art.

[0083] The light chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR1 or VL CDR1. The light chain variable region CDR2 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR2 or VL CDR2. The light chain variable region CDR3 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as LCDR3 or VL CDR3. The heavy chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR1 or VH CDR1. The heavy chain variable region CDR2 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR2 or VH CDR2. The heavy chain variable region CDR1 domain is interchangeably referred to herein as HCDR3 or VH CDR3.

[0084] The term "hypervariable region," such as VH or VL, when used herein refers to the regions of the variable region of an antibody that are hypervariable in sequence and / or form structurally defined loops. In general, antibodies contain six hypervariable regions; three in VH (HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3) and three in VL (LCDR 1, LCDR2, LCDR3). A variety of hypervariable region divisions are in use and are contemplated herein. The "Kabat" CDR is based on sequence variability and is the most commonly used (e.g., see Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Imm unologicalInterest , 5th ed., Publ ic Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991)). "Chothia" instead refers to the location of the structural loops (see, e.g., Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)). When numbering using the Kabat numbering convention, the ends of the Chothia CDR-HCDR1 loop vary between H32 and H34, depending on the length of the loop (this is because the Kabat numbering scheme places the insertion at H35A and H35B; if neither 35A nor 35B is present, the loop ends at 32; if only 35A is present, the loop ends at 33; if both 35A and 35B are present, the loop ends at 34). The "AbM" hypervariable regions represent a compromise between the Kabat CDRs and the Chothia structural loops and are used by Oxford Molecular's AbM antibody modeling software (see, e.g., Martin's Antibody Engineering , Volume 2, Chapter 3, Springer Verlag). The “Contact” hypervariable regions are based on analysis of available complex crystal structures.

[0085] Recently, a universal numbering system has been developed and widely adopted, the ImMunoGe neTics (IMGT) Information (Lafranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol. 27(1):55-77 (2003)). IMGT is a comprehensive information system focused on immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of humans and other vertebrates. In this article, CDR refers to the amino acid sequence and position within the light chain or heavy chain. Since the "position" of CDR within the structure of the immunoglobulin variable domain is conserved between species and exists in structures called loops, CDR and framework residues are easily identified by using a numbering system that aligns the variable domain sequences according to structural features. This information can be used to transplant and replace CDR residues from an immunoglobulin of a certain species into an acceptor framework (usually that of a human antibody). An additional numbering system (AHon) was developed by Honegger and Plückthun, J. Mol. Biol. 309:657-670 (2001). The correspondence between numbering systems (including, for example, Kabat numbering and the IMGT unique numbering system) is well known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Kabat, supra; Chothia and Lesk, supra; Martin, supra; Lefranc et al., supra). The exemplary system shown herein combines Kabat and Chothia.

[0086]

[0087] The hypervariable region may comprise the following "extended hypervariable region": 24-36 or 24-34 (LCDR1), 46-56 or 50-56 (LCDR2) and 89-97 or 89-96 (LCDR3) in VL and 26-35 or 26-35A (HCDR1), 50-65 or 49-65 (HCDR2) and 93-102, 94-102 or 95-102 (HCDR3) in VH. CDR sequences reflecting each of the above numbering schemes are provided herein.

[0088] The term "constant region" or "constant domain" refers to the carboxyl terminal portion of the light chain and the heavy chain, which is not directly involved in the binding of the antibody to the antigen, but exhibits various effector functions, such as interaction with Fc receptors. The term refers to the portion of the immunoglobulin molecule that has a more conserved amino acid sequence relative to the rest of the immunoglobulin (i.e., the variable region containing the antigen binding site). The constant region may contain the CH1, CH2, and CH3 regions of the heavy chain and the CL region of the light chain.

[0089] The term "framework" or "FR" residues are variable region residues located on both sides of the CDR. For example, FR residues are present in chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, domain antibodies, diabodies, linear antibodies and bispecific antibodies. FR residues are those variable domain residues other than hypervariable region residues or CDR residues.

[0090] As used herein, the term "antigen binding domain" refers to a set of six CDRs that, when present as part of a polypeptide sequence, specifically bind to a target antigen discussed herein. Thus, a "checkpoint antigen binding domain" binds to a target checkpoint antigen as described herein. As known in the art, these CDRs are generally present in the form of a first set of variable heavy chain CDRs (vhCDR or VHCDR) and a second set of variable light chain CDRs (vlCDR or VLCDR), each group comprising three CDRs: vhCDR1, vhCDR2, vhCDR3 of the heavy chain and vlCDR1, vlCDR2 and vlCDR3 of the light chain. CDRs are present in the variable heavy chain and variable light chain domains, respectively, and together form an Fv region. Thus, in some cases, the six CDRs of the antigen binding domain are contributed by the variable heavy chain domain and the variable light chain domain. In the "Fab" format, the set of 6 CDRs is contributed by two different polypeptide sequences, namely a variable heavy chain domain (vh or VH; containing VH CDR1, VH CDR2 and VH CDR3) and a variable light chain domain (vl or VL; containing VL CDR1, VL CDR2 and VL CDR3), wherein the C-terminus of the VH domain is connected to the N-terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain, and the C-terminus of the VL domain is connected to the N-terminus of the constant light chain domain (thereby forming a light chain). In the scFv format, the VH and VL domains are usually covalently linked into a single polypeptide sequence by using a linker ("scFv linker") as outlined herein, which can be (starting from the N-terminus) VH-linker-VL or VL-linker-VH, with the former generally preferred (including optional domain linkers on each side, depending on the format used).

[0091] Typically, the C-terminus of the scFv domain is linked to the N-terminus of the hinge in the second monomer.

[0092] As used herein, the term "isolated antibody" refers to an antibody that is substantially free of other antibodies with different antigenic specificities (e.g., an isolated antibody that specifically binds to a given target is substantially free of antibodies that do not bind to the same target). In addition, an isolated antibody is substantially free of other cellular material and / or chemicals.

[0093] The term "monoclonal antibody" as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, that is, the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical, except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in trace amounts. The monoclonal antibodies provided by the present invention can be prepared by hybridoma methods, phage display technology, single lymphocyte gene cloning technology, or recombinant DNA methods. For example, a monoclonal antibody can be produced by a hybridoma comprising a B cell obtained from a transgenic non-human animal (e.g., a transgenic mouse or rat), the transgenic non-human animal having a genome comprising a human heavy chain transgene and a light chain transgene.

[0094] As used herein, the term "antigen binding fragment" refers to an antibody fragment, such as a diabody, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, an Fv fragment, a disulfide-stabilized Fv fragment (dsFv), (dsFv)2, a bispecific dsFv (dsFv-dsFv'), a disulfide-stabilized diabody (dsdiabody), a single-chain antibody molecule (scFv), a single domain antibody (sdAb), a scFv dimer (bivalent diabody), a multispecific antibody formed by an antibody portion comprising one or more CDRs, a camelized single domain antibody, a nanobody, a domain antibody, a bivalent domain antibody, or any other antibody fragment that binds to an antigen but does not contain a complete antibody structure. An antigen binding fragment is capable of binding to the same antigen as the antigen bound by the parent antibody or parent antibody fragment. According to specific embodiments, the antigen binding fragment comprises a light chain variable region, a light chain constant region, and an Fv segment of a heavy chain. According to other specific embodiments, the antigen binding fragment comprises Fab and F(ab').

[0095] The term "single-chain antibody" as used herein refers to a conventional single-chain antibody in the art, which comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region connected by a short peptide of about 15 to about 20 amino acids. The term "single domain antibody" as used herein refers to a conventional single domain antibody in the art, which comprises a heavy chain variable region and a heavy chain variable region or it comprises only a heavy chain variable region.

[0096] As used herein, "Fab" or "Fab region" refers to a polypeptide comprising VH, CH1, VL and CL immunoglobulin domains, which are typically located on two different polypeptide chains (e.g., VH-CH1 is located on one chain and VL-CL is located on another chain). Fab can refer to this region alone, or to this region in the context of bispecific antibodies provided herein. In the context of Fab, Fab includes an Fv region in addition to the CH1 and CL domains.

[0097] As used herein, "Fv", "Fv fragment" or "Fv region" refers to a polypeptide comprising the VL and VH domains of an ABD. Fv regions can be formatted as Fab (usually two different polypeptides, as described above, also including constant regions as outlined above) and scFv, in which the VL and VH domains are combined (usually with a linker as described herein) to form an scFv.

[0098] The term "single-chain Fv" or "scFv" refers to a variable heavy chain domain and a variable light chain domain covalently linked, typically using an scFv linker as discussed herein, to form an scFv or scFv domain. The scFv domain can be oriented in any direction from the N-terminus to the C-terminus (VH-linker-VL or VL-linker-VH). The order of the VH and VL domains can be indicated in the name, for example, H.X_L.Y means VH-linker-VL from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, and L.Y_H.X means VL-linker-VH.

[0099] As used herein, the term "Fc", "Fc region" or "Fc domain" refers to a polypeptide comprising the CH2-CH3 domain of an IgG molecule, and in some cases includes a hinge. In the EU numbering of human IgG1, the CH2-CH3 domain includes amino acids 231 to 447, and the hinge is 216 to 230. Therefore, the definition of "Fc domain" includes amino acids 231-447 (CH2-CH3) or 216-447 (hinge-CH2-CH3), or a fragment thereof. In this context, an "Fc fragment" may contain fewer amino acids from either or both of the N-terminus and the C-terminus, but still retains the ability to form a dimer with another Fc domain or Fc fragment, which can be detected using standard methods, which are generally based on size (e.g., non-denaturing chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, etc.). Human IgG Fc domains are particularly useful in the methods provided herein, and may be Fc domains from human IgG1, IgG2, or IgG4.

[0100] As used herein, "heavy chain constant region" refers to the CH1-hinge-CH2-CH3 portion of an antibody (or a fragment thereof), excluding the variable heavy chain domain; in EU numbering of human IgG1, this is amino acids 118-447. "Heavy chain constant region fragment" herein means a heavy chain constant region that contains fewer amino acids from either or both of the N-terminus or C-terminus, but still retains the ability to form a dimer with another heavy chain constant region.

[0101] As used herein, "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to a region of an immunoglobulin comprising one or more Ig domains, which are substantially encoded by any one of the Vκ, Vλ and / or VH genes constituting κ, λ and heavy chain immunoglobulin loci, respectively, and contain CDRs that confer antigen specificity. Thus, a "variable heavy chain domain" is paired with a "variable light chain domain" to form an antigen binding domain ("ABD"). In addition, each variable domain comprises three hypervariable regions ("complementarity determining regions", "CDRs") (vhCDR1, vhCDR2 and vhCDR3 for the variable heavy chain domain, vlCDR1, vlCDR2 and vlCDR3 for the variable light chain domain) and four framework (FR) regions, arranged in the following order from amino terminus to carboxyl terminus: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4.

[0102] As used herein, the term "multispecific antibody" refers to an antibody comprising multiple immunoglobulin variable domain sequences, wherein a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence in the multiple immunoglobulin variable domain sequences has binding specificity to a first epitope, and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence in the multiple immunoglobulin variable domain sequences has binding specificity to a second epitope. In one embodiment, the first and second epitopes do not overlap or do not substantially overlap. In one embodiment, the first and second epitopes are located on different antigens, e.g., different proteins (or different subunits of a multimeric protein).

[0103] As used herein, the term "bispecific antibody" refers to a multispecific antibody that binds no more than two epitopes or two antigens. A bispecific antibody is characterized in that a first immunoglobulin variable domain sequence has binding specificity for a first epitope and a second immunoglobulin variable domain sequence has binding specificity for a second epitope.

[0104] Many antibody domains with sequence identity to human antibody domains are provided herein.In the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, the term "identity" or "identity" percentage refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that are identical or have a specified percentage of identical amino acid residues or nucleotides when comparing and comparing maximum correspondence, as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection.For sequence comparison, usually a sequence serves as a reference sequence, and a test sequence is compared thereto.When using a sequence comparison algorithm, a test sequence and a reference sequence are input into a computer, subsequence coordinates are specified if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are specified. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the sequence identity percentage of a test sequence relative to a reference sequence based on specified program parameters.

[0105] Sequence identity between two similar sequences (e.g., antibody variable domains) can be measured by algorithms such as Smith, TF and Waterman, MS (1981) "Comparison of Biosequences," Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 [Local Homology Algorithm]; Needleman, SB and Wunsch, CD. (1970) "A General Method Applicable to the Search for Similarities in the Amino Acid Sequence of Two Proteins," J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 [Homology Alignment Algorithm], Pearson, WR and Lipman, DJ (1988) "Improved Tools for Biological Sequence Comparison," Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 85:2444 [Similarity Search Method]; or Altschul, SF et al., (1990) "Basic Local Alignment Search Method" Tool," J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10, "BLAST" algorithm, see, e.g., blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / Blast.cgi. When using any of the above algorithms, default parameters (window length, gap penalty, etc.) are used. In one embodiment, sequence identity is determined using the BLAST algorithm using default parameters.

[0106] The example of the algorithm suitable for determining sequence identity and sequence similarity percentage is BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithm, which are respectively described in Altschul et al. (1990) J.Mol.Biol.215:403-410 and Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res.25:3389-3402. The software for performing BLAST analysis can be publicly obtained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The algorithm first identifies high-scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short characters of length W in the query sequence, and when it is compared with the character of the same length in the database sequence, it matches or satisfies a certain positive threshold score T. T is referred to as the adjacent character score threshold (Altschul et al., see above). These initial adjacent characters hit and serve as the seed for initiating the search, to find the longer HSP containing them. Then, the characters are extended in both directions along each sequence to hit, until the cumulative comparison score can be increased.

[0107] For nucleotide sequences, the cumulative score is calculated using the parameters M (reward score for a pair of matching residues; always > 0) and N (penalty score for mismatched residues; always < 0). For amino acid sequences, the cumulative score is calculated using a scoring matrix. The expansion of character hits in each direction stops when the following occurs: the cumulative alignment score drops by the number X from its maximum reached value; the cumulative score becomes zero or below zero due to the accumulation of one or more negative scoring residue alignments; or the end of either sequence is reached. The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. The BLASTN program (for nucleotide sequences) uses a word length (W) of 11, an expectation value (E) of 10, M = 5, N = -4, and a comparison of two chains by default. For amino acid sequences, the BLASTP program uses a word length (W) of 3, an expectation value (E) of 10, and a BLOSUM62 scoring matrix by default (see Henikoff and Henikoff, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89: 10915 (1989)).

[0108] In addition to calculating percent sequence identity, the BLAST algorithm also performs a statistical analysis of the similarity between two sequences (see, e.g., Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5787 (1993)). One similarity metric provided by the BLAST algorithm is the smallest sum probability (P(N)), which indicates the probability of an accidental match between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences. For example, a nucleic acid is considered similar to a reference sequence if the smallest sum probability in a comparison of a test nucleic acid to a reference nucleic acid is less than about 0.1, more preferably less than about 0.01, and most preferably less than about 0.001.

[0109] Another indication that two nucleic acid sequences or polypeptides are substantially identical is that the polypeptide encoded by the first nucleic acid is immunologically cross-reactive with the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleic acid, as described below. Thus, a polypeptide is typically substantially identical to a second polypeptide, for example, when the two peptides differ only in conservative substitutions. Another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the two molecules hybridize to each other under stringent conditions.

[0110] The antibodies provided herein are generally isolated or recombinant. "Isolated" when used to describe the various polypeptides disclosed herein means that the polypeptide has been identified and separated and / or recovered from a cell or cell culture expressing the polypeptide. Typically, an isolated polypeptide is prepared by at least one purification step. An "isolated antibody" refers to an antibody that is substantially free of other antibodies having different antigenic specificities. "Recombinant" refers to an antibody that is produced in an exogenous host cell using recombinant nucleic acid technology, and it may also be isolated.

[0111] As used herein, the term "polynucleotide" is synonymously referred to as "nucleic acid molecule", "nucleotide" or "nucleic acid", and refers to any polyribonucleotide or polydeoxyribonucleotide, which may be unmodified RNA or DNA or modified RNA or DNA. "Polynucleotide" includes, but is not limited to, single-stranded and double-stranded DNA, DNA mixed with single-stranded and double-stranded regions, single-stranded and double-stranded RNA, and RNA mixed with single-stranded and double-stranded regions, hybrid molecules containing DNA and RNA that may be single-stranded or more typically double-stranded or a mixture of single-stranded and double-stranded regions. In addition, "polynucleotide" refers to a triple-stranded region containing RNA or DNA or both RNA and DNA. The term polynucleotide also includes DNA or RNA containing one or more modified bases and DNA or RNA with a modified backbone for stability or other reasons. "Modified" bases include, for example, tritylated bases and uncommon bases, such as inosine. DNA and RNA can be modified in a variety of ways; therefore, "polynucleotide" encompasses polynucleotides in chemical, enzymatic or metabolically modified forms common in nature, as well as chemical forms of DNA and RNA that are unique to viruses and cells. "Polynucleotide" also encompasses relatively shorter nucleic acid chains, often referred to as oligonucleotides.

[0112] As used herein, the terms "peptide", "polypeptide" or "protein" may refer to molecules composed of amino acids and may be considered proteins by those skilled in the art. Conventional single-letter or three-letter codes for amino acid residues are used herein. The terms "peptide", "polypeptide" and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to amino acid polymers of any length. The polymer may be linear or branched, it may contain modified amino acids, and it may be interspersed with non-amino acids. The term also encompasses amino acid polymers that have been modified naturally or by intervention; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation or modification (e.g., conjugation with a labeling component). Also included in the definition are, for example, one or more analogs containing amino acids (including, for example, non-natural amino acids, etc.) and other modified polypeptides known in the art.

[0113] The peptide sequences described herein are written according to the usual convention, with the N-terminal region on the left and the C-terminal region on the right. Although isomeric forms of amino acids are known, the L form of the amino acid is represented unless otherwise specifically indicated.

[0114] As used herein, the terms "treat / treatment / treating" refer to the following conditions caused by the administration of one or more therapies: reducing or improving or eliminating the progression, severity and / or effects associated with the solid malignancies described herein, or improving the condition of the solid malignancies, or improving diseases associated with the solid malignancies, or increasing the immune system response of the human subject, or improving one or more symptoms (preferably, one or more discernible symptoms) of the solid malignancies described herein. In specific embodiments, the terms "treat / treatmentm ent / treating" refer to improving at least one measurable physical parameter of the solid malignancies described herein, such as tumor size, tumor growth rate, number of tumor cells, tumor invasiveness, presence of metastasis, or extent of metastasis. In other embodiments, the terms "treat / treatment / treating" refer to inhibiting the progression of the solid malignancies described herein, either physically, such as by stabilizing discernible symptoms, physiologically, such as by stabilizing physical parameters, or both. In other embodiments, the term "treat / treatment / treating" refers to an increase in the immune system response of a human subject after treatment with pembrolizumab or nivolumab, such as increased T cell infiltration, increased T cell activation, upregulation of the IFN pathway, upregulation of the antigen presentation pathway, or increased Ki67+ induction in T cells. In exemplary embodiments, treatment of solid malignancies provides improvement or lack of progression of a disease associated with a tumor or neoplastic disorder, and / or improvement or lack of progression of symptoms associated with the disease or disorder. For example, treatment of solid malignancies refers to one or more of the following: (1) a decrease in the number of solid malignant tumor cells; (2) an increase in solid malignant tumor cell death; (3) inhibition of solid malignant tumor cell survival; (5) inhibition of solid malignant tumor growth (i.e., slowing to some extent, preferably without progression), such as disease stabilization; (6) inhibition of metastasis of solid malignant tumor cells; (7) an increase in progression-free survival; (8) an increase in overall survival; and (9) a certain degree of relief of one or more symptoms associated with a disease or disorder.Further description of treatment can be found in the following: RECIST criteria (Eisenh auer et al. (2009) Eur J Cancer.45:228-47; Chalian et al. (2011) Radiographics 31:2093-105); imRECIST criteria (Hodi et al. (2018) J Clin Oncol.36:850-858); modified IrRC criteria (Wolchok et al. (2009) Clin Cancer Res.15:7412-20); and PCWG3 criteria (Scher et al. (2016) Clin Oncol.34:1402-18). In some embodiments, treating solid malignancies involves administering a bispecific antibody for a predetermined period of time, stopping administration for another specific period of time, and resuming administration of the bispecific antibody for another specific period of time. In some embodiments, treating a solid malignancy involves administering the bispecific antibody until one of the therapeutic effects described herein is achieved, suspending administration of the bispecific antibody while such therapeutic effect continues to be observed, and resuming administration of the bispecific antibody if such therapeutic effect is no longer observed.

[0115] Treatment of solid malignancies can be determined by standardized response criteria specific to the tumor or disease associated with the neoplastic condition. Changes in tumor morphology (i.e., using neoadjuvant therapy, such as evaluating pathological response) or tumor indices (i.e., overall tumor burden, tumor size, etc.) for solid malignancies response can be assessed using screening techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, positron emission tomography (PET) scans, x-ray imaging, radionuclide scanning, computed tomography (CT) scans, bone scan imaging, endoscopy, tumor sampling including bone marrow aspiration (BMA), and circulating tumor marker levels and / or counts of tumor cells.

[0116] Treatment according to the methods provided herein includes the use of a "therapeutically effective amount" of the drug. A "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result.

[0117] A therapeutically effective amount may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the drug to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount also refers to an amount in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the antibody or antibody portion are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects.

[0118] A "therapeutically effective amount" for tumor therapy can also be measured by its ability to stabilize disease progression. The ability of a compound to inhibit cancer can be evaluated in an animal model system predictive of efficacy against human tumors.

[0119] Alternatively, the ability of the compound to inhibit cell growth or induce apoptosis can be examined by in vitro assays known to those skilled in the art to evaluate such properties of the composition. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic compound can reduce tumor size or otherwise improve the subject's symptoms. One of ordinary skill in the art will be able to determine such amounts based on factors such as the size of the subject, the severity of the subject's symptoms, and the specific composition or route of administration selected.

[0120] The terms "patient," "subject," and "human subject" are used interchangeably herein. "Subject" as used herein means any animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human. The term "mammal" as used herein encompasses any mammal. Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, cows, horses, sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, mice, rats, guinea pigs, monkeys, humans, etc. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human.

[0189] 4.4 Treatment methods

[0190] The methods provided herein can be used to treat lymphomas, including but not limited to non-Hodgkin lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

[0191] Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a group of diversified malignancies mainly derived from B cells. NHL can occur in any organ related to the lymphatic system, such as the spleen, lymph nodes or tonsils, and can occur at any age. The common characteristics of NHL are lymphadenopathy, fever and weight loss. NHL is divided into B cell or T cell NHL. Lymphomas associated with lymphoproliferative disorders after bone marrow or stem cell transplantation are usually B cell NHL. According to the natural history of NHL, it is divided into low-grade, intermediate and high-grade categories (see "The Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Pathologic Classification Project," Cancer 49 (1982): 2112-2135). Low-grade lymphomas are indolent, with a median survival of 5 to 10 years (Horning and Rosenberg (1984) N. Engl. J. Med. 311: 1471-1475). Although chemotherapy can induce remission in most indolent lymphomas, cure rates are low and most patients will eventually relapse and require further treatment. Intermediate and high-grade lymphomas are more aggressive tumors but have a greater chance of being cured with chemotherapy. However, a large proportion of these patients will relapse and require further treatment.

[0192] DLBCL is the most common NHL subtype. Since the introduction of the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab, approximately 50% to 70% of patients can be cured with initial standard-of-care immunochemotherapy. However, for patients who are refractory or relapse after first-line therapy, the prognosis is poor. Salvage chemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has some benefit in this setting but is associated with significant toxicity. Furthermore, most patients are not suitable for this approach and have limited treatment options. Therefore, there remains a need to provide effective treatment options for patients with relapsed or refractory (R / R) DLBCL who are not suitable for ASCT (Coiffier B et al. Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program. 2016;(1):366–78).

[0310] In exemplary embodiments, efficacy is assessed by evaluating the duration of response.In one embodiment, subjects treated using the methods provided herein have an increased duration of response.

[0311] In an exemplary embodiment, the evaluation of efficacy is based on Cheson BD et al. (2014) "Recommendations for Initial Evaluation, Staging and Response Assessment of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: The Lugano Classification." J Clin Oncol 32: 3059–3067. In one embodiment, efficacy is evaluated by evaluating fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) (e.g., for FDG-affinity lymphoma). In one embodiment, PET-CT is used to evaluate efficacy (e.g., for patients with radiological (CT) Cru or partial response (PR) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (e.g., DLBCL). In another embodiment, PET-CT is used to evaluate the response of the subject to the disclosed method, wherein a 5-point scale is used (e.g., for clinical trials, mid-term evaluations, or evaluations at the end of treatment) (Table 15). In another embodiment, mid-term PET-CT is used to evaluate early treatment response and / or to determine remission status at the end of treatment. In one embodiment, a score of 1 or 2 in PET-CT indicates a complete metabolic response at the end of treatment and / or treatment. In another embodiment, a PET-CT score changes from 5 to 1 indicating that the patient has achieved a complete metabolic response (see Table 15). In another embodiment, a PET-CT score changes from 4 to 1 indicating that the patient has achieved a complete metabolic response (see Table 15). In another embodiment, a PET-CT score changes from 5 to 2 indicating that the patient has achieved a complete metabolic response (see Table 15). In another embodiment, a PET-CT score changes from 4 to 2 indicating that the patient has achieved a complete metabolic response (see Table 15). In one embodiment, when the PET-CT result score is 1, the patient has achieved a complete metabolic response. In one embodiment, when the PET-CT result score is 2, the patient has achieved a complete metabolic response. In another embodiment, patients with an uptake higher than the mediastinum but lower than or equal to the liver (score of 3) have a good prognosis at the end of treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (e.g., DLBCL) therapy. In another embodiment, the interpretation of a score of 3 depends on the time of the assessment, the clinical context, and the treatment (e.g., in a response adaptation trial exploring treatment de-escalation, a score of 3 may be considered insufficient response, thereby avoiding insufficient treatment). In another embodiment, an interim score of 4 or 5 indicates chemosensitive disease (e.g., provided that uptake has decreased from baseline) and / or indicates a partial metabolic response. In another embodiment, a score of 4 or 5 for residual metabolic disease at the end of treatment indicates treatment failure, even if uptake has decreased from baseline.In another embodiment, a score of 4 or 5, and no change or even increase in intensity relative to baseline and / or the appearance of new lesions consistent with lymphoma, indicates treatment failure in the mid-term and end-of-treatment evaluations. In another embodiment, a CT-based response is used (e.g., for histology with low or variable FDG affinity and / or if PET-CT is unavailable). In another embodiment, an increase of greater than or equal to 50% in the product of the perpendicular diameter (PPD) of a single nodule indicates the presence of progressive disease according to CT criteria. In another embodiment, a follow-up scan is performed for indolent lymphomas with residual intra-abdominal or retroperitoneal disease.

In another embodiment, residual FDG uptake above normal liver uptake is observed in the interim in patients who achieve a complete metabolic response at the end of treatment. In another embodiment, a partial response (PR) requires a reduction of more than 50% in the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of up to six representative nodal or extranodal lesions.

[0314] Table 15. Response evaluation criteria

[0315]

[0316]

[0317]

[0318] Abbreviations: 5PS, 5-point scale; CT, computed tomography; FDG, fluorodeoxyglucose; IHC, immunohistochemistry; LDi, longest transverse diameter of lesion; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PET, positron emission tomography; PPD, cross product of LDi and perpendicular diameter; SDi, shortest axis perpendicular to LDi; SPD, sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of multiple lesions. For many patients, a score of 3 indicates a good prognosis with standard treatment, especially at interim scans. However, in trials involving PET investigating de-escalation, it may be preferable to consider a score of 3 as an inadequate response (to avoid undertreatment). Major Lesions Measured: Select up to the six largest major nodules, nodal masses, and extranodal lesions that can be clearly measured in two diameters. Nodules should preferably be from different areas of the body and should include the mediastinum and retroperitoneum, if applicable. Non-nodal lesions include lesions of solid organs (e.g., liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs), GI involvement, skin lesions, or lesions found on palpation. Unmeasured Lesions: Any disease not selected for measurement, primary disease, and truly evaluable disease should be considered unmeasured. These sites include any nodules, nodular masses, and extranodal sites that were not selected as primary or measurable or that did not meet the requirements for measurability but were still considered abnormal, as well as truly evaluable disease, which is any suspected site of disease that is difficult to track quantitatively by measurement, including pleural effusions, ascites, bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, abdominal masses, and other lesions that cannot be confirmed and tracked by imaging. In the Waldeyer's ring or extranodal sites (e.g., GI tract, liver, bone marrow), FDG uptake may be higher than the mediastinum in a full metabolic response but should not be higher than normal physiologic uptake in the surrounding area (e.g., bone marrow activation due to chemotherapy or myeloid growth factor).

[0319] 5PS: 1, no uptake above background; 2, uptake less than or equal to the mediastinum; 3, uptake greater than the mediastinum but less than or equal to the liver; 4, uptake moderately greater than the liver; 5, uptake significantly greater than the liver and / or new lesions; X, new areas of uptake are unlikely to be related to lymphoma.

[0320] 5. Examples

[0321] The following examples are provided to illustrate the present invention. These examples are not meant to limit the present invention to any particular application or theory of operation.

[0322] Example 1 - Treatment of lymphoma using a combination of palamuximab, tafacitinib and lenalidomide

[0323] A phase 2 randomized, open-label, multicenter study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of palamuximab in combination with tadalafil and lenalidomide in subjects with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R / R DLBCL).

[0324] The combination of tafaciclib and lenalidomide has been granted accelerated approval in the United States for patients with R / R DLBCL, NOS. Tafaciclib is an Fc-modified monoclonal antibody that binds to the CD19 antigen expressed on the surface of pre-B and mature B lymphocytes and on several B-cell malignancies, including DLBCL. In a single-arm clinical trial (NCT02399085), tafaciclib combined with lenalidomide resulted in a response rate of 57.5%, a median DOR of 43.9 months, and a median PFS of 11.6 months in R / R DLBCL (Duell Haematologica. 2021; 106(9): 2417-26). Parametuzumab is a humanized bsAb that binds CD3 to the tumor antigen CD20 to recruit cytotoxic T cells to kill CD20 tumor cells. In an ongoing phase 1 study (Study XmAb13676-01, NCT02924402), palamuxomab produced durable responses in subjects with R / R DLBCL.

[0325] Without being bound by theory, we hypothesize that the combination of CD19 antigen and CD20 antigen will enhance the efficacy results in this population due to non-overlapping resistance mechanisms. In addition, this combination can activate and expand the innate immune system and adaptive effector cells, as well as modulate the tumor microenvironment. These characteristics support and warrant the study of the combination of palamuxetumab, tafacitinib, and lenalidomide. The trial first determines whether the combination of these 3 products can be safely administered and determines the dose for Part 2. The second part of the trial aims to determine the efficacy improvement (measured by PFS) over the DLBCL standard of care tafacitinib and lenalidomide (with the addition of palamuxetumab to tafacitinib and lenalidomide).

[0326] This is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, phase 2 study of parafitumab in combination with tafamidis plus lenalidomide versus tafamidis plus lenalidomide in adult subjects with DLBCL who had relapsed after or were refractory to at least one prior line of therapy that had included multiple doses of chemoimmunotherapy containing an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and who were not candidates for, refused, or had relapsed after ASCT.

[0327] Central pathologist interpretation will retrospectively confirm the diagnosis of DLBCL after enrollment using archival or recently obtained tissue. Central radiology and clinical reviewers will assess objective disease response according to the Lugano 2014 (Cheson, 2014 J Clin Oncol. 2014; 32(27): 3059–68) guidelines. Details of the central review will be provided in the imaging charter outlining the functions and processes. In addition, investigator-assessed responses will be recorded in the clinical database and will be analyzed for consistency. All subjects will be treated until progression or withdrawal for other reasons and then followed up for up to 5 years for OS.

[0328] This study will consist of 2 parts which will be conducted sequentially, with Part 1 enrolling and evaluating the safety of the subjects and determining the dose and schedule before the start of Part 2.

[0329] 5.1 Treatment options

[0330] The study will consist of 2 parts:

[0331] Part 1: Single-arm, dual-queue, safe trial run

[0332] Part 2: Open-label, randomized, two-arm efficacy and safety

[0333] Part 1: Single-arm, safety test run

[0334] Part 1 was a single-arm, two-cohort safety trial designed to determine the safety of the combination of palamuxolizumab, tafamidis, and lenalidomide.

[0335] Part 1 consists of a single-arm evaluation of the safety of the triple combination of palamuxetumab plus tafacitinib plus lenalidomide in 2 cohorts of at least 40 subjects, with at least 20 subjects in each cohort: Cohort 1A treats subjects with the triple combination at palamuxetumab dose level -1 (Table 2). Cohort 1B begins enrollment after cohort 1A completes enrollment. Cohort 1B treats subjects with the triple combination at palamuxetumab dose level 1. An initial safety evaluation is performed after all subjects in cohorts 1A and 1B have received treatment for at least C4D28 or discontinued due to an AE or progressive disease before C4D28. Following the initial safety evaluation of cohorts 1A and 1B, the pharmacologically optimal dose of palamuxetumab (dose level -1 or dose level 1) with an acceptable safety profile will advance to the randomized portion of the study (Part 2).

[0336] Treatment will consist of a combination of palamuxetumab, tafacitinib, and lenalidomide administered in 28-day cycles with 2 initial doses of tafacitinib administered prior to cycle 1. Palamuxetumab and tafacitinib may be administered until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation for any other reason, whichever occurs first; however, lenalidomide may only be given for a maximum of 12 cycles total. Tafacitinib and palamuxetumab must not be used at the same time. On days when tafacitinib and palamuxetumab are administered, tafacitinib should be administered first, followed by palamuxetumab. It is recommended that each infusion be separated by at least 2 hours.

[0337] Part 2: Open-label, randomized

[0338] The open-label, randomized portion of the study (Part 2) will begin after initial safety evaluation of at least 40 subjects in Part 1. Prior to the start of Part 2, the protocol will be modified using the dosing regimen selected from Part 1 and will include adequate justification to support the dose / schedule proposed in Part 2.

[0339] During Part 2, subjects will be randomized to two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by baseline International Prognostic Index (IPI) risk score (3 to 5 vs. 0 to 2), number of lines of prior therapy (1 vs. ≥2), and primary refractory (yes vs. no). Primary refractory enrollment is limited to 36 of 200 subjects. Part 2 will enroll approximately 200 subjects. The sample size of Part 2 may be adjusted based on the results of Part 1. Enrollment will be increased to more than 200 by protocol amendment before the start of the randomized part. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will review safety data in Part 2 and schedule meetings after 50, 100, and 150 subjects are randomized. The primary analysis of PFS will be performed after 89 disease progression and death events. An interim analysis of OS will be performed at that time.

[0340] Part 2 is the efficacy cohort, in which subjects are randomized to receive either Arm A or Arm B as follows:

[0341] A-arm:

[0342] Treatment will consist of a combination of palamuximab, tafacizumab, and lenalidomide administered in 28-day cycles with 2 initial doses of tafacizumab given prior to cycle 1. Palamuximab and tafacizumab may be administered until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation for any other reason, whichever occurs first. Lenalidomide may be given for up to a total of 12 cycles.

[0343] Arm B:

[0344] Treatment consisted of a combination of tafacitinib and lenalidomide administered in 28-day cycles with 2 initial doses of tafacitinib given prior to cycle 1. Tafacitinib was administered until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation for any other reason, whichever occurred first. Lenalidomide could be given for a maximum of 12 cycles total.

[0345] Dosage and schedule for Part 1 and Part 2 are as follows Figure 3 , and will be provided in further detail below.

[0346] Primary endpoint.

[0347] The primary endpoints of the study were, for part 1, safety, measured by the incidence of CRS and TEAEs, and for part 2, PFS, defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease or death, whichever occurred first, as assessed by BIRC using the Lugano 2014 criteria.

[0348] 5.2 Number of subjects

[0349] Part 1 will enroll at least 40 subjects, divided into 2 cohorts, with at least 20 subjects in each cohort.

[0350] Part 2 will enroll approximately 200 subjects. The sample size for Part 2 may be adjusted based on the results of Part 1. Enrollment will be increased to more than 200 via protocol amendment before the randomized portion begins. Enrollment in the primary refractory arm of Part 2 will be limited to 36 of the 200 subjects.

[0351] Overall, the study plans to enroll approximately 240 subjects.

[0352] 5.3 Treatment Allocation

[0353] Treatment assignment for Part 1 and randomization for Part 2 will be performed via a third-party randomization and trial supply management (RTSM) / interactive response technology (IRT) system.

[0354] Part 1: Single-arm safety test run

[0355] During the Part 1 safety run-in, 40 subjects will be enrolled and treated with palamuximab and tafacizumab plus lenalidomide (i.e., single-arm, non-controlled). Subjects will be considered enrolled if they sign the informed consent, are determined eligible, and receive the first dose of tafacizumab on Day -8.

[0356] Part 2: Open-label randomization

[0357] During Part 2, a total of 200 subjects will be randomized to: a 1:1 ratio of paramedicum and tafamizumab plus lenalidomide versus tafamizumab plus lenalidomide, stratified by baseline IPI risk score (3–5 vs. 0–2); number of prior lines of therapy (1 vs. ≥2); and primary refractory (yes vs. no). A maximum of 36 primary refractory subjects will be enrolled. Randomization will occur only if subjects have signed informed consent and are determined to be eligible. Study treatment will begin within 72 hours of randomization. Study treatment will begin on Study Day -8 with the first dose of tafamizumab.

[0358] 5.4 Subject inclusion criteria

[0359] Participants were eligible for the study if they were at least 18 years old and had a histologically confirmed diagnosis of DLBCL (not otherwise specified), including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma. + and CD19 + .

[0360] 5.5 Dosing schedule and premedication

[0361] Paclitaxel dosing schedule and premedication

[0362] Subjects in Part 1 and subjects randomized to Arm A in Part 2 will receive palamuximab IV at a constant infusion rate over a minimum of 2 hours (-5 minute window). In Cycle 1, palamuximab will be administered every 7 days (±1 day) for 4 doses; beginning in Cycle 2, palamuximab will be administered every 2 weeks.

[0363] Subjects in Cohort 1A and Cohort 1B received palamuxomab according to the dose and schedule in Table 2.

[0364] Table 2. Paclitaxel dosing schedule for cohorts 1A and 1B

[0365]

[0366] Q2W = every 2 weeks

[0367] The dose and schedule of palamuxomab for part 2 will be determined in part 1.

[0368] The infusion rate may be adjusted to increase the duration of the infusion based on the investigator's judgment of safety. Due to variations in pump accuracy, infusions ending within the first 5 minutes of the required 2-hour period will not be considered a deviation.

[0369] On days when both products are given, palamuximab will be administered at least 2 hours after tafamidis. All subjects in Part 1 and all subjects randomized to Arm A in Part 2 will pre-dosed with the palamuximab dose shown in Table 3.

[0370] Table 3. Prior medications for palamuxomab

[0371]

[0372] IV = intravenous; PO = oral.

[0373] Subjects who have received 4 consecutive infusions at a stable dose and schedule without experiencing CRS or infusion reactions may have their premedication modified at the investigator's discretion.

[0374] If palamuxomab was discontinued, in the absence of disease progression and if the subject was still benefiting from study treatment, the subject could continue to receive other study treatment.

[0375] Tafacitinib dosing schedule and premedication

[0376] All subjects will receive tafacizumab. The initial dose will be administered on Days -8 and -4 of the 1-week run-in period. During the first 3 cycles of the study, tafacizumab will be infused on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Thereafter, tafacizumab will be administered every two weeks (every 14 days) on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation for any other reason, whichever occurs first (Table 4). The initial infusion rate of tafacizumab will be 70 mL / h for the first 30 minutes; then, the rate will be increased so that the infusion is completed in 1.5 to 2.5 hours. All subsequent infusions should be infused over 1.5 to 2 hours. On days when both products are administered, administer before paramedica.

[0377] Table 4. Dosing schedule of tafacitinib

[0378] Tafacitinib dosing regimen

[0379]

[0380] Q2W = every 2 weeks

[0381] Tafacitinib should be administered according to the package insert (e.g., see MONJUVIPI, 2021) and by a healthcare professional immediately using emergency equipment and appropriate medical support to manage infusion-related reactions.

[0382] All subjects will be pre-treated with the tafacitinib dose shown in Table 5.

[0383] Table 5. Pre-medication with tafacitinib

[0384]

[0385] IV = intravenous; PO = oral.

[0386] On study days when tafacizumab with paramatuzumab was administered, a single dose of dexamethasone was administered prior to the start of the tafacizumab infusion in Cycle 1. If paramatuzumab was withheld and tafacizumab was administered alone, premedication with prednisone or equivalent was required only for the first 3 doses and subsequently if an infusion-related reaction was observed.

[0387] For subjects who did not experience an infusion-related reaction during the first 3 infusions, premedication for subsequent infusions was optional. If a subject experienced an infusion-related reaction, premedication was administered prior to each subsequent infusion.

[0388] If tafacitinib was discontinued, in the absence of disease progression and if the subject was still benefiting from study treatment, the subject could continue to receive other study treatment.

[0389] Lenalidomide dosing regimen

[0390] All subjects will receive lenalidomide and self-administer a starting dose of 25 mg orally daily on days 1 to 21 of each cycle. No more than 21 doses of lenalidomide will be assigned per cycle. Investigators will follow the package insert or SmPC (e.g., REVLIMID PI, 2021; REVLIMID SmPC, 2022) for recommended medications and dose adjustments for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events. Subjects are advised to take lenalidomide with or without food at approximately the same time each evening. Subjects are advised to swallow the lenalidomide capsule whole with water and not to open, break or chew it. Treatment with lenalidomide may be adjusted or discontinued in a stepwise manner based on clinical and laboratory test results. Detailed dose adjustment guidelines for the management of hematologic and / or other toxicities are provided in the relevant sections of the protocol.

[0391] If lenalidomide was discontinued, subjects could continue to receive other study treatments in the absence of disease progression and if the subject was still benefiting from study treatment.

[0392] 5.6 Study Drugs and Storage

[0393] Paramatuzumab (XmAb13676)

[0394] Paramatuzumab (XmAb13676) is a humanized bsAb that binds to CD3 and the tumor antigen CD20 to recruit cytotoxic T cells to kill CD20-positive tumor cells.

[0395] Paramatuzumab has been designed to maintain the properties of full-length humanized monospecific antibodies in bsAbs, enabling the design of stable molecules with favorable in vivo half-life and allowing the use of standard antibody production methods.

[0396] Paramatuzumab (XmAb13676) is formatted as Fab-scFv-Fc (scFv, single-chain variable fragment), an Fc-based heterodimeric format that can only bind its bispecific antigen monovalently, as opposed to the bivalent binding of standard antibodies. The monovalency of CD3 is a key design constraint because bivalent binding of CD3 results in T cell activation in the absence of target cells expressing CD20. The Fc region of paramatuzumab has also been engineered to silence its affinity for Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs), which is critical to prevent T cell activation by cross-linking of paramatuzumab by FcγR-expressing cells. Xencor’s antibody discovery program has demonstrated that several bsAbs based on this format are highly but selectively active against target cells in primate models.

[0397] IV Solution Stabilizer (IVSS) is a concentrated form of the paramatuzumab (XmAb13676) buffer that also minimizes protein binding to administration equipment when paramatuzumab is administered at lower concentrations.

[0398] Paramatuzumab (XmAb13676) drug product (DP) is a sterile liquid supplied in 5 mg vials. Each 2 mL disposable glass vial contains 1.0 mL of drug product, which contains 5.0 mg paramatuzumab (XmAb13676) dissolved in 10 mM sodium succinate, 5% sucrose (weight to volume ratio, w / v) and 0.01% (w / v) polysorbate-80 (pH 5.5). Each product bottle is intended to deliver 1.0 mL of drug solution. Dilution instructions for any alternative fill volumes required during the study will be provided in the pharmacy manual.

[0399] IVSS will be supplied in disposable glass vials. Each vial contains 10.0 mL of a solution containing 250 mM sodium succinate and 0.25% (w / v) polysorbate-80 at pH 5.5. Each vial is intended to deliver 10.0 mL of IVSS solution.

[0400] Vials containing paramatuzumab and IVSS must be stored under refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C in an appropriately secure area accessible only to pharmacists, researchers, or duly designated personnel. Since paramatuzumab does not contain a preservative, an opened paramatuzumab vial must be used within 24 hours.

[0401] Tafacitumomab-cxix (tafacitumomab)

[0402] Tafacitumomab (tafacitumomab-cxix) is a cytolytic antibody directed against CD19 indicated in the US in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with R / R DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS) (including DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma) who are ineligible for ASCT. Tafacitumomab is also approved in the EU in combination with lenalidomide and tafacitumomab monotherapy sequentially for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are ineligible for ASCT. Tafacitumomab is a humanized cytolytic monoclonal antibody directed against CD19 containing a hybrid IgG1 / 2 Fc domain with 2 amino acid substitutions to alter the Fc-mediated function of the antibody. It is produced in mammalian cells (Chinese hamster ovary) by recombinant DNA technology. The molecular weight of tafacitumomab is approximately 150 kDa

[0403] Tafacitumab-cxix for injection is provided in 200 mg vials, which contain a sterile, preservative-free, white to slightly yellow lyophilized powder in a single-dose vial for IV use after reconstitution. After reconstitution with 5 mL of sterile water for injection (USP), the resulting concentration is 40 mg / mL and the pH is 6.0. Each single-dose vial contains 200 mg of tafacitumab, citric acid monohydrate (3.7 mg), polysorbate 20 (1 mg), sodium citrate dihydrate (31.6 mg) and trehalose dihydrate (378.3 mg).

[0404] Vials containing tadalafil should be stored according to the package insert or SmPC (MONJU VIPI, 2021; MONJUVI smPC, 2021).

[0405] Lenalidomide

[0406] Lenalidomide (thalidomide analogue) is an immunomodulatory agent with antiangiogenic and antitumor properties It is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and marginal zone lymphoma (see REVLIMID PI, 2021 or REVLIMID SmPC, 2022).

[0407] Lenalidomide may be provided by the investigator or as clinical trial material / study drug (REVLIMID or regionally approved generic lenalidomide).

[0408] Lenalidomide should be stored according to the package labeling of REVLIMID or generic lenalidomide.

[0409] 5.7 Study Drug Preparation and Handling

[0410] Paramatuzumab (XmAb13676)

[0411] Please note that palamuxomab has pharmacodynamic effects in vivo at very low concentrations, so each vial of product must be highly diluted prior to administration.

[0412] Paramatuzumab solutions are prepared under sterile conditions. Prior to administration, paramatuzumab will be diluted to the desired final concentration in one or more infusion bags containing 240 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP and 10.0 mL of IV Solution Stabilizer. Prior to dilution, vials containing parenteral drug product should be visually inspected. If particulate matter and / or discoloration are observed, the drug should not be administered and the sponsor should be notified. After dilution, the bag containing paramatuzumab (XmAb13676) should be gently inverted 2 to 3 times to mix the solution. Be sure not to shake the bag.

[0413] Paramatuzumab has been previously used in humans in a Phase 1 clinical study (XmAb13676-01). In the XmAb13676-01 study, CRS was frequently observed, especially at the Cycle 1 Day 1 dose. The Principal Investigator or a Deputy Investigator (MD) must be available at all times during and for at least 24 hours after administration of Paramatuzumab doses.

[0414] All subjects will be pre-treated with 20 mg of dexamethasone by IV approximately 30 to 60 minutes prior to the start of the tafacictumab infusion during Cycle 1. If the tafacictumab infusion is suspended for any reason during Cycle 1, dexamethasone will be given 1 hour prior to the start of paramedicum administration. After Cycle 1, pre-treatment with dexamethasone is not necessary and is permitted at the discretion of the investigator. (Cetirizine or other antihistamines may be used instead of diphenhydramine).

[0415] Administration of palamuximab should be started as soon as possible after preparation of the dosing solution. If administration is delayed, it may be stored at room temperature for no more than 4 hours or at 2°C to 8°C for no more than 12 hours prior to infusion.

[0416] Paramatuzumab should not be administered as an IV bolus or injection.

[0417] Study drug will be administered as an open-label solution at a constant rate over at least 2 hours (-5 minute window) using a dedicated infusion set. Care should be taken to prevent CRS or infusion reactions / allergic reactions during tocilizumab administration. Because CRS or allergic / infusion reactions may occur, emergency resuscitation equipment ("crash carts") and medications, including steroids and tocilizumab, should be available in the vicinity of the area where subjects receive infusions. Other supportive measures should be taken, including but not limited to acetaminophen, antihistamines, corticosteroids, IV fluids, bronchodilators, epinephrine, vasopressors, and oxygen.

[0418] Tafacitinib

[0419] Tafacitinib was prepared and administered according to the package insert or SmPC (MONJUVIPI, 2021; MONJUVI smPC, 2021).

[0420] Lenalidomide

[0421] Lenalidomide comes as an oral capsule that the study center will dispense to participants.

[0422] Lenalidomide will be assigned to subjects for oral administration in the evening according to the package insert or SmPC (REVLIMID PI, 2021; REVLIMID SmPC, 2022). Subjects will be given a diary to record the date and time of each lenalidomide administration and provide product records.

[0423] If a subject misses a dose of lenalidomide and it is less than 12 hours before the usual dosing time, the subject should be instructed to make up the missed dose and then take the next dose on their regular schedule.

[0424] 5.8 Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Biomarker Assessment

[0425] Pharmacokinetic analysis, serum assessment of antidrug antibodies, cytokines, and rituximab levels

[0426] Venous blood samples will be obtained according to the schedule listed in Tables 6 and 7 for analysis of serum paramatuzumab and tafacitumab PK, paramatuzumab and tafacitumab ADA, cytokines, and rituximab levels. The remaining samples will be stored for additional testing of biomarkers associated with pharmacodynamic activity, clinical response, or study drug resistance. In Table 6, paramatuzumab PK, cytokines, and ADA, as well as ECG, will be performed on subjects in Part 1 and subjects randomized to Arm A in Part 2. All times are relative to paramatuzumab infusion. On the days of administration of tafacitumab and paramatuzumab, pre-dose samples will be drawn and ECGs performed before starting tafacitumab infusion. Tafacitumab anti-drug antibodies and pharmacokinetics will be studied in all subjects in Table 7. All times are relative to tafacitumab infusion.

[0431] Pharmacodynamics and biomarker assessment

[0432] Peripheral blood assessment

[0433] Blood samples will be collected to explore the pharmacodynamic effects of parametuzumab, tafacitinib, and lenalidomide on leukocyte frequency and markers of T cell and / or leukocyte function, including but not limited to checkpoint molecules, markers of proliferation and T cell activation, and markers of T cell exhaustion. The frequencies of circulating T cells, B cells, and NK cells will also be monitored. Additional blood samples will be drawn into PAXGENE RNA tubes and stored for potential exploratory studies of leukocyte function and pharmacodynamic effects by RNA sequencing and transcriptome gene and pathway analysis. Peripheral baseline and pharmacodynamic markers will be evaluated for correlation with CRS and AE incidence, as well as clinical response and resistance. CRS assessment within 24 hours after each dose will include monitoring of serum cytokines and flow cytometry evaluation of changes in T cell numbers and activation status in peripheral blood.

[0434] Blood samples will be collected at screening and treatment to measure ctDNA. By using DNA sequencing methods to track the levels and mutations of ctDNA during treatment, ctDNA, as a measure of MRD, will be explored as a marker of clinical response. Blood samples can also be used to evaluate germline DNA variations across the genome to account for tumor-specific DNA mutations.

[0435] Detailed instructions for handling and shipping peripheral blood samples are provided in the laboratory manual. Please refer to Table 9 (Evaluation Schedule) for the sampling schedule. Non-scheduled samples may be collected and sent to the designated central laboratory at the discretion of the investigator. Remaining peripheral blood mononuclear cells, plasma samples, and serum samples will be stored at the designated central laboratory and may be used to evaluate additional future exploratory biomarkers associated with pharmacodynamic activity, clinical response, or resistance to the study drug.

[0436] Tumor biopsy

[0437] Archival tissue - Archival blocks (preferred) or unstained slides will be requested from lymph node biopsy to confirm the DLBCL diagnosis, determine cell of origin status, and perform genomic mutation analysis. Cell of origin analysis (COO), germinal center B cell (GCB), or activated B cell type (ABC) origin will be determined using transcriptional analysis, NANOSTRING LYMPHC2X, or other gene expression methods. Immunohistochemistry analysis will be performed using relevant markers from the Hans algorithm (Yoon, 2017).

[0438] Archival tissue of diagnostic tumor mass or lymph nodes must be confirmed to be available at study entry and will be collected and sent to the designated central laboratory within 8 weeks after the first dose of study drug or randomization. The sampling schedule is shown in Table 9 (Assessment Schedule). If archival tissue is not available, a fresh tumor biopsy will be requested at baseline.

[0439] Baseline and On-Treatment Tumor Biopsies: Baseline Biopsy: Fresh tumor biopsies (excisional or core needle biopsies) are encouraged because they allow for an unbiased analysis of tumor status, whereas archival biopsies may not reflect the effects of therapy prior to the start of the study. Therefore, if the subject consents and there is palpable lymph node involvement (e.g., superficial lymphadenopathy), a pre-treatment baseline biopsy will be requested to allow for low-risk surgery to obtain tissue. Excisional or core needle biopsies are acceptable, but fine needle aspiration is not acceptable.

[0440] Baseline and During Treatment Tumor Biopsies: During Treatment Biopsies: During treatment biopsies are required for subjects with palpable lymphadenopathy. During treatment biopsies should be obtained during the fourth week of treatment (after the C1D22 dose, but before the C2D1 dose). For responding subjects, additional biopsies are recommended at the time of progression to determine the molecular and cellular basis of progression and specifically exclude loss of CD19 or CD20 expression as a mechanism of acquired resistance.

[0441] Tumor tissue from archival, pre-treatment, during-treatment, and progression biopsies will be processed to enable analyses including, but not limited to: (1) DNA sequencing to identify acquired genetic alterations in tumor cells; (2) RNA analysis of the tumor and tumor microenvironment; and (3) immunostaining of the tumor for CD19 and CD20 expression, as well as for inflammatory cells (including T cells) in the microenvironment.

[0442] Biopsies will be collected at baseline and during treatment and sent to a central laboratory. The sampling schedule is shown in Table 8.

[0451] Following analysis of study-specified tumor biopsies, remaining archival and fresh biopsy samples will be stored at a designated central laboratory for evaluation of additional future exploratory biomarkers associated with pharmacodynamic activity, clinical response, or resistance to study drug.

[0452] 5.9 Efficacy evaluation

[0453] Efficacy evaluation

[0454] Response assessment will be determined as specified in Table 9.

[0455] Table 9. Response Assessment

[0456]

[0457]

[0458]

[0459] 5PS = 5-point scale; CT = computed tomography; FDG = fluorodeoxyglucose; IHC = immunohistochemistry; LDi = longest transverse diameter of lesion; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; PET = positron emission tomography; PPD = cross product of LDi and perpendicular diameter; SDi = shortest axis perpendicular to LDi; SPD = sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of multiple lesions.

[0460] a In the Waldeyer's ring or extranodal sites (eg, GI tract, liver, bone marrow), FDG uptake may be higher than in the mediastinum in the setting of a complete metabolic response but should not be higher than normal physiologic uptake in the periphery (eg, due to bone marrow activation caused by chemotherapy or myeloid growth factors).

[0461] b PET 5PS: 1, no uptake above background; 2, uptake ≤ mediastinum; 3, uptake > mediastinum but ≤ liver; 4, moderate uptake > liver; 5, uptake significantly above liver and / or new lesions; X, new area of ​​uptake is unlikely to be related to lymphoma.

[0462] Main lesions measured: Select up to the six largest primary nodules, nodal masses, and extranodal lesions that can be clearly measured in two diameters. Nodules should preferably be from different regions of the body and should include the mediastinum and retroperitoneum, if applicable. Non-nodal lesions include lesions of solid organs (e.g., liver, spleen, kidney, lung), GI involvement, skin lesions, or lesions found on palpation. Recent biopsy lesions should not be used as primary lesions for measurement.

[0463] Lesions not measured: Any disease not selected for measurement, primary disease, and truly evaluable disease should be considered unmeasured. These sites include any nodules, nodular masses, and extranodal sites that were not selected as primary or measurable or that did not meet the requirements for measurability but were still considered abnormal, as well as truly evaluable disease, which is any suspected site of disease that is difficult to quantitatively track with measurement, including pleural effusions, ascites, bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, abdominal masses, and other lesions that cannot be confirmed and tracked with imaging.

[0464] The investigators and BIRC will assess the response to study drug at each efficacy time point. The following endpoints will be reported:

[0465] Progression-free survival: defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease or death, whichever comes first. Investigators and BIRC will determine progressive disease events in all randomized subjects. PFS assessed by the BIRC is the primary endpoint of Part 2 of this study. To determine the sample size, it was assumed that the triple combination therapy would improve the median PFS from 12 months (with tafacitinib + lenalidomide treatment (Duell Haematologica. 2021; 106(9): 2417-26)) to 23.5 months (with triple combination therapy (palamotuzumab + tafacitinib + lenalidomide)), corresponding to a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.51 for all randomized subjects (an estimated 90% of subjects will be diagnosed with DLBCL by central pathology). The power of the log-rank test was 90% and the sample size was 200 (93 events) to maintain a type I error of 0.025 (one-sided). The sample size calculation assumes a loss to follow-up rate of 1.5% / month. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 and stratified by baseline IPI risk score (3 to 5 vs. 0 to 2), number of prior lines of therapy (1 vs. ≥2), and primary refractory (yes vs. no). A maximum of 36 primary refractory subjects will be enrolled in the sample size of 200. Enrollment of 200 subjects is expected to take 27 months, with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. A primary efficacy analysis will be performed when 93 PFS events are observed per independent review. In addition to the final OS analysis, an interim analysis of OS at the time of the final PFS analysis will be performed using a group sequential design.

[0466] Duration of Response: Defined as the time from first response (CR or PR) to progression or death from any cause in subjects who achieve a CR or PR and in subjects with a CR. DOR will be derived using disease progression as determined by BIRC for subjects with a response (CR or PR).

[0467] Overall survival: defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. All randomized subjects will receive up to 5 years of survival follow-up. Overall survival will be assessed in the randomized population (Part 2). The one-sided alpha level for the test OS is 0.025. Assuming that the median OS of Arm B in Part 2 is 34 months, Arm A in Part 2 will improve by 40% over Arm B (ie, median OS = 56.6 months, HR = 0.60). In addition, assuming that enrollment is completed within 27 months, the minimum follow-up time is 24 months, and the OS censoring rate (missing rate) is approximately 1% per month, the study will produce a statistical significance with a power of 60%. Once 65% of the information (death events) is available, an interim analysis of OS will be planned. Advantage analysis will be performed during the interim and final analysis.

[0468] Time to treatment failure: defined as the time from randomization to discontinuation of all study treatment for any reason (including disease progression, treatment toxicity, and death). Time to treatment failure will use disease progression as determined by the investigator and BIRC.

[0469] Additionally, adverse events and other safety parameters, including the incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), will be assessed.

[0470] 5.10 Toxicity Management

[0471] Toxicity from the 3-drug regimens (pamostatin, tafamidis, and lenalidomide) may be identified during the study. Management of known toxicities (eg, CRS, infusion-related reactions, hematologic toxicity, and tumor lysis syndrome) is outlined below.

[0472] Cytokine Release Syndrome : ASTCT defines CRS as a supraphysiological reaction after any immunotherapy that results in the activation or involvement of endogenous or infused T cells and / or other immune effector cells. Symptoms may be progressive, must include fever at onset, and may include hypotension, capillary leakage (hypoxia), and end-organ dysfunction (Lee DW, Santomasso BD, Locke FL, et al. ASTCT consensus grading for cytokinerelease syndrome and neurologic toxicity associated with immune effector cells. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2019; 25(4)625–38).

[0473] CRS can present with a wide range of symptoms, from mild flu-like symptoms to severe, life-threatening manifestations of an inflammatory response. Mild symptoms of CRS include fever, fatigue, headache, rash, arthralgia, and myalgia. More severe cases are characterized by hypotension and high fever and may progress to an uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response with circulatory shock requiring vasopressors, vascular leak, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and multi-organ system failure (Shimabukuro-Vornhagen A, Cytokine release syndrome, P, Subklewe M, et al. J Immunother Cancer. 2018; 6(1): 56). CRS is more likely to occur after the first dose of paramatuzumab than after subsequent doses, tends to start slightly later than hypersensitivity reactions, and is more likely to be associated with liver and neurological complications. Symptoms of paramatuzumab-associated CRS observed in the Phase 1 study include:

[0474] Aphasia or difficulty finding words

[0475] Joint pain

[0476] Confusion / altered mental status / delirium Increased serum creatinine

[0477] ·sweat

[0478] ·Dizziness

[0479] Difficulty breathing

[0480] Fatigue (weakness, drowsiness, malaise)

[0481] ·fever

[0482] ·Gait disorders / dysmetria

[0483] ·Headache

[0484] Hypotension / hypertension

[0485] Hypoxia

[0486] Myalgia

[0487] Nausea / vomiting

[0488] Chills / chills

[0489] Tachycardia

[0490] Shortness of breath

[0491] ·epilepsy

[0492] Elevated transaminases / hyperbilirubinemia

[0493] Tremor

[0494] CRS toxicity was defined using the ASTCT CRS consensus grading (Lee DW, Santomasso BD, Locke FL, et al. ASTCT consensus grading for cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicity associated with immune effector cells. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2019; 25(4)625–38). The relevant definitions are shown in Table 10.

[0495] Table 10. American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy consensus classification of cytokine release syndrome

[0496]

[0497] BiPAP = bilevel positive airway pressure; CPAP = continuous positive airway pressure; CRS = cytokine release syndrome; CTCAE = Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

[0498] Organ toxicities associated with CRS can be graded according to CTCAE v5.0, but they do not affect the CRS grade.

[0499] a Fever was defined as a temperature ≥ 38°C not attributable to any other cause. For subjects who had CRS and received antipyretics or anti-cytokine therapy (such as tocilizumab or steroids), fever was no longer required to grade the severity of subsequent CRS. In this setting, CRS grade was determined by hypotension and / or hypoxia.

[0500] b The CRS grade was determined by the more severe event: hypotension or hypoxia not attributable to any other cause. For example, a subject with a temperature of 39.5°C, hypotension requiring 1 vasopressor, and hypoxia requiring a low-flow nasal cannula was classified as Grade 3 CRS.

[0501] c Low-flow nasal cannula is defined as oxygen delivered ≤6 L / min. Low flow also includes insufflation-based oxygen delivery, which is sometimes used in pediatrics. High-flow nasal cannula is defined as oxygen delivered >6 L / min.

[0502] Safety run-in and part 2, Arm A (palamotuzumab, tafamidis, and lenalidomide) : Paramatuzumab can cause CRS. CRS has not been observed in clinical trials with tadalafil and lenalidomide. However, lenalidomide, through its potential to activate T cells, may enhance CRS in combination with paramatuzumab. In addition, to avoid overlap of CRS caused by paramatuzumab with infusion-related reactions induced by tadalafil, paramatuzumab should always be given after tadalafil if administered on the same day. See section 5.11 for dose adjustments of lenalidomide and paramatuzumab in the setting of CRS.

[0503] Part 2, Arm B (tafamidis and lenalidomide) : If CRS is observed while using tadalafil, treatment guidelines provided for palamuxolizumab should be followed.

[0504] Cytokine Release Syndrome for Allergic / Hypersensitivity / Infusion-Related Reactions: CRS is mechanistically distinct from allergic / hypersensitivity / infusion-related reactions (Brennan FR, Morton LD, Spindeldreher S, et al. Safety and immunotoxicity assessment of im munomodulatory monoclonal antibodies. MAbs. 2010; 2(3): 233–55), but some manifestations are common to both AEs, and both have been reported to occur with therapeutic antibodies. Although cytokine release may be associated with immune cell activation, how it is triggered is unclear; in this setting, CD3-expressing lymphocytes may be the primary effectors of CRS.

[0505] Tocilizumab for cytokine release syndrome :Tocilizumab It is a therapeutic antibody that interferes with the binding of interleukin 6 (IL-6) to the IL-6 receptor. Tocilizumab can be used to reduce the severity of severe CRS and may reduce mortality, and early administration can be used to improve outcomes. Tocilizumab (at a dose of 8 mg / kg) should be available at all times if needed, and repeated doses of tocilizumab may be required if signs and symptoms persist or recur after initial treatment. In some cases, another treatment (instead of tocilizumab) can be used to treat CRS.

[0506] Fluid Management : CRS may be associated with myocardial dysfunction, pulmonary edema, or capillary leak syndrome (Shimabukuro-Vornhagen A, P, Subklewe M, et al. Cytokine release syndrome. J Immunother Cancer. 2018;6(1):56). Monitor subjects for weight gain and, in acute settings, for intravenous (IV) fluid administration. The following are guidelines for administering fluids:

[0507] If a subject is noted to have gained ≥10% body weight in the past 2 weeks and develops new or significantly increased bilateral lower extremity edema, dosing should be delayed until this finding is evaluated and treated, if indicated.

[0508] For acute hypotension, IV fluid boluses should be limited to 500 to 1000 mL of normal saline or equivalent.

[0509] If the response to fluids is inadequate, treatment with tocilizumab (and vasopressors, if necessary) should be considered rather than additional fluid boluses.

[0510] Guidelines for the treatment of cytokine release syndrome according to ASTCT CRS consensus level:CRS treatment guidelines are listed by level as follows

[0511] Level 1

[0512] Symptomatic management is recommended: 650 mg of acetaminophen orally as an antipyretic or analgesic, and / or 25 to 50 mg of diphenhydramine intravenously or orally for rash, pruritus, or other signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity (allergy), as clinically indicated.

[0513] Measure vital signs every 15 minutes or less, or as clinically indicated.

[0514] Obtain unscheduled blood samples for cytokine analysis during the event and approximately 4 hours afterward, unless scheduled cytokine monitoring is already being performed on the same visit day.

[0515] Monitor the subject for worsening of his or her condition; if the event increases in severity to a higher grade, stop the infusion and administer steroids.

[0516] Level 2

[0517] Hypotension responsive to fluids not requiring vasopressors or mild respiratory symptoms treatable with low-flow oxygen are signs of Grade 2 toxicity. Older subjects or subjects with severe comorbidities may be at increased risk for decompensation in this setting.

[0518] - Stop the infusion, and / or administer additional dexamethasone at a dose of 10 to 20 mg IV, and / or acetaminophen 650 mg orally, and / or diphenhydramine 25 to 50 mg IV or orally to treat signs and symptoms.

[0519] Once symptoms subside, restart the infusion at 50% of the baseline rate. If after 1 hour, the subject has no recurrence of symptoms and vital signs are stable, the infusion rate may be increased every 30 minutes as tolerated until the baseline rate is reached.

[0520] Measure vital signs every 15 minutes or less frequently as clinically indicated. For subjects who can tolerate an increase in the infusion rate back to baseline and maintain normotension within 30 minutes of the rate increase, vital sign assessments may be reduced to every 30 minutes during the infusion.

[0521] Obtain unscheduled blood samples for cytokine analysis during the event and approximately 4 hours afterward, unless scheduled cytokine monitoring is already being performed on the same visit day.

[0522] Monitor the subject for worsening of his or her condition; if the event increases in severity to a higher grade, stop the infusion and administer appropriate treatment, and follow guidelines for Grade 3 and 4 reactions if necessary.

[0523] In this setting, older subjects or subjects with severe comorbidities may be at higher risk of decompensation. When these vulnerable subjects develop a response or rapidly progress to a response, treatment with tocilizumab 8 mg / kg IV for 1 hour with or without dexamethasone 10 to 20 mg IV (or equivalent) should be considered.

[0524] Level 3 and 4

[0525] Stop the infusion and disconnect the subject's IV line.

[0526] An additional 10 mg of dexamethasone was administered intravenously.

[0527] Provide aggressive supportive care immediately. Use vasopressors, fluids, oxygen, epinephrine or bronchodilators, ventilatory support, antipyretics, and analgesics as indicated.

[0528] Due to the higher risk of progression and permanent organ dysfunction, tocilizumab therapy (8 mg / kg IV for 1 hour) is recommended for CRS (Hallek M, Cheson BD, Catovsky D, et al. CLL guidelines for diagnosis, indications for treatment, response assessment, and supportive management of CLL. Blood. 2018;131(25):2745–60).

[0529] Admission to hospital for observation, usually to an intensive care unit, is almost always necessary because initial improvement may quickly lead to rapid decompensation.

[0530] Subjects with Grade 3 CRS or infusion reactions, once resolved, may be re-challenged as described in Section 5.11 and Table 14. Subjects with recurrent Grade 3 or any Grade 4 reactions should not receive further palamuximab treatment but will continue to be followed per protocol (i.e., for long-term survival follow-up).

[0531] Obtain unscheduled blood samples for cytokine analysis during the event and approximately 4 hours afterward, unless scheduled cytokine monitoring is already being performed on the same visit day.

[0532] Obtain unscheduled samples for antidrug antibody (ADA) testing as close to the onset of an event as possible, at resolution of an event, and approximately 28 days after an event unless scheduled cytokine monitoring is being performed on the same visit date.

[0533] ·Physician and / or medical monitor should be contacted.

[0534] Neurotoxicity : In addition to CRS, another toxicity observed after CAR-T cell therapy and CD3 bispecific antibodies is neurotoxicity. Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) may present with delirium, encephalopathy, aphasia, lethargy, inattention, agitation, tremor, seizures, and rarely, cerebral edema (Lee DW, Santomasso BD, Locke FL, et al. ASTCT consensus grading for cytokine release syndrome and neurologictoxicity associated with immune effector cells. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2019; 25(4)625–38). Due to the timing of treatment and treatment response of neurotoxicity, its treatment is separate from CRS.

[0535] Neurological symptoms may develop during or after CRS symptoms but rarely precede them. The earliest manifestations of ICANS are tremor, dysgraphia, mild expressive speech difficulties (especially naming objects), impaired attention, apraxia, and mild somnolence. Headache is a nonspecific symptom that often occurs during fever or after chemotherapy in patients without other neurological deficits. Therefore, headache alone is not an appropriate marker for ICANS. Expressive aphasia, on the other hand, appears to be a very specific symptom of ICANS.

[0536] The consensus grading scheme is a slightly modified version of the CARTOX-10 screening tool that incorporates key elements of the Mini-Mental State Examination, the immune effector cell-associated encephalopathy (ICE) score, for grading ICANS (Table 11). The 10-point ICE screening tool helps assess whether a subject has encephalopathy; however, grading ICANS requires the 10-point ICE score assessment as well as other neurologic domain assessments, such as level of consciousness, motor symptoms, seizures, and signs of increased intracranial pressure / cerebral edema, which may or may not be present with encephalopathy. The ASTCT ICANS toxicity grading system is shown in Table 12. This grading scale is used to assess neurotoxicity rather than the CTCAE version 5.0.

[0537] Table 11. Immune effector cell-related encephalopathy scores

[0538]

[0539] ICANS = immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome; ICE = immune effector cell-associated encephalopathy (score).

[0540] Rating: 10, no damage;

[0541] 7–9, ICANS level 1;

[0542] 3–6, Level 2 ICANS;

[0543] 0–2, 3-level ICANS;

[0544] 0, because the patient cannot be aroused and ICE assessment is not possible, 4 ICANS

[0545] Table 12. American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy consensus toxicity grades for immune effector cell-related neurotoxicity syndromes in adults

[0546]

[0547]

[0548] EEG = electroencephalogram; ICANS = immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome; ICE = immune effector cell-associated encephalopathy (score); ICP = intracranial pressure; N / A = not applicable; VI = sixth.

[0549] The ICANS grade is determined by the most severe event (ICE score, level of consciousness, seizures, motor manifestations, increased ICP / cerebral edema) that cannot be attributed to any other cause; for example, a patient with an ICE score of 3 who presents with a generalized seizure is classified as a grade 3 ICANS.

[0550] a A patient with an ICE score of 0 might be classified as a grade 3 ICANS if they had complete aphasia while awake, but a patient with an ICE score of 0 might be classified as a grade 4.

[0551] b A decreased level of consciousness should not be attributed to other causes (eg, absence of sedative medications).

[0552] c Tremor and myoclonus associated with immune effector cell therapy can be graded according to CTCAE v5.0, but they do not affect the ICANS grade.

[0553] dIntracranial hemorrhage with or without associated edema is not considered a neurotoxic feature and is excluded from the ICANS classification. It can be graded according to CTCAE v5.0

[0554] High levels of IL-6 may directly mediate neurotoxicity. The human anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibody tocilizumab may reverse this neurotoxicity, but it is not expected to cross the blood-brain barrier and its efficacy in this setting has not been confirmed. Corticosteroids may be the mainstay of therapy and may be considered if corticosteroids are ineffective.

[0555] Clinical Management of Neurotoxicity:

[0556] Monitor subjects for signs and symptoms of events (including use of mental status and neurologic examinations).

[0557] If neurotoxicity becomes evident, an unscheduled blood sample will be drawn for cytokine analysis at that time and again 4 hours later unless scheduled cytokine monitoring has already occurred on the same visit day.

[0558] If neurotoxicity was grade 4, palamuxomab was discontinued.

[0559] For grade 3 neurologic toxicity, withhold until toxicity recovers to ≤ grade 1 (mild) and remains ≤ grade 1 for at least 3 days before restarting therapy. Restart therapy at 75% of the previous dose. If grade ≥2 toxicity does not recur, increase dose back to full dose at next dose. Permanently discontinue if grade ≥2 toxicity recurs at 75% dose, or if grade <2 toxicity takes more than 7 days to resolve. Permanently discontinue palamuximab if grade 3 neurologic toxicity persists for more than 7 days.

[0560] For severe neurologic symptoms, if symptoms do not resolve rapidly, administer 10 mg additional dexamethasone intravenously and repeat every 12 hours.

[0561] For recurrent seizures, anticonvulsant therapy may be required.

[0562] Allergic / hypersensitivity / infusion-related reactions : Infusion-related reactions can occur with both tafacitinib and palamectomy. Allergic reactions are usually caused by a type 1 hypersensitivity mechanism resulting from immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated release of histamine and prostaglandins, but direct interactions with mast cells and basophils may also occur. However, infusion-related reactions, including severe and fatal reactions, are not uncommon with monoclonal antibody therapeutics and tend to occur most frequently during the first few infusions.

[0563] Signs and symptoms usually develop during or shortly after the drug infusion in a hypersensitivity reaction, are more likely to develop after a few doses, and are strongly related to histamine release. Typical signs and symptoms include rash / hives, flushing, itching, fever, difficulty breathing, cough, and low blood pressure, but the following symptoms may also occur

[0564] Joint pain

[0565] Bronchospasm

[0566] Confusion / altered mental status / delirium

[0567] ·Dizziness

[0568] Fatigue (weakness, drowsiness, malaise)

[0569] Hallucinations

[0570] ·Headache

[0571] ·hypertension

[0572] Myalgia

[0573] Nausea / vomiting

[0574] Chills / chills

[0575] ·sweat

[0576] Tachycardia

[0577] Allergic / hypersensitivity / infusion-related reactions were managed according to institutional practices and guidelines. Allergic / hypersensitivity reactions were defined according to the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 (NCI-CTCAE, 2017) definition of anaphylaxis.

[0578] Safety run-in and part 2, Arm A (palamotuzumab, tafamidis, and lenalidomide) : Infusion-related reactions may occur with the use of palamuxetumab and tafacitinib. To mitigate overlapping toxicities with palamuxetumab, tafacitinib should be administered first on a given treatment day, and at least 2 hours should elapse between the end of the tafacitinib infusion and the start of the palamuxetumab infusion. If a grade >1 infusion reaction occurs with tafacitinib, the administration of palamuxetumab should be delayed until all symptoms of the reaction resolve. Depending on the time to resolution of all symptoms, palamuxetumab may need to be administered the following day.

[0579] Part 2, Arm B (tafamidis and lenalidomide) : Infusion-related reactions may occur with the use of tafamidis and lenalidomide. Instructions for toxicity management provided in the tafamidis prescribing information may be followed. For dose modifications, see section 5.11.

[0580] Hematological toxicityHematologic toxicity, particularly decreases in absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and platelet count, has been observed in clinical trials with tadalafil and lenalidomide. Decreases in platelets and ANC were observed with palamuxetin (see Table 13).

[0585] These declines may be exacerbated or last longer when these products are given in combination. Carefully monitor blood counts and follow institutional guidelines for management of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Treatment may include the use of growth factors and administration of whole blood / blood product transfusions. Management may also include delaying administration of study drug until counts have recovered to at least Grade 2 levels. Refer to Section 5.11 for any dose adjustments of study drug.

[0586] Safety run-in and part 2, Arm A (palamotuzumab, tafamidis, and lenalidomide) : Hematologic toxicities may occur in clinical trials of tadalafil and lenalidomide; specifically, ANC and platelet counts may decrease. Decreases in platelets and ANC may also occur with the use of tadalafil. The magnitude of these decreases may be exacerbated or last longer when these products are given in combination. Monitor blood counts carefully and follow institutional guidelines for treatment of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, which may include growth factors and whole blood / blood product transfusions. Management may also include delaying administration of study drug until counts have recovered to at least Grade 2 levels. Refer to section 5.11 for any dose adjustments of study drug.

[0587] Part 2, Arm B (tafamidis and lenalidomide) : Hematologic toxicity may occur with the use of tafamidis and lenalidomide. Instructions for toxicity management provided in the tafamidis prescribing information should be followed. Refer to section 5.11 for any dose adjustments of study drug.

[0588] Tumor lysis syndrome Tumor Lysis Syndrome (TLS) is a rare but serious and life-threatening condition resulting from the rapid release of tumor cell contents following lysis; the resulting metabolic imbalance may lead to acute renal failure and / or other life-threatening conditions. Subjects with high tumor burden, hyperproliferative disease, and / or certain pre-existing conditions (e.g., renal disease) are at increased risk for TLS.

[0589] Safety run-in and part 2, Arm A (palamotuzumab, tafamidis, and lenalidomide) : It is unknown whether treatment with paramatuzumab, tafamidis, and lenalidomide leads to the development of TLS in R / R DLBCL. A Phase 1 study of paramatuzumab monotherapy in CD20-expressing hematological malignancies reported TLS of any grade in 4 of 96 subjects (4.2%), with only 2 of 80 subjects with R / R NHL (2.5%) experiencing TLS; importantly, no serious or fatal TLS events were reported with paramatuzumab monotherapy in R / R DLBCL. Similarly, no TLS events were reported in a Phase 2, open-label, single-arm, tafamidis plus lenalidomide study in R / RDLBCL (L-MIND). However, fatal cases of TLS have been reported with lenalidomide in other indications and combinations. Prior to initiating study medication, all subjects should be assessed for TLS risk based on laboratory parameters and tumor volume, per institutional practice

[0590] Prevention, Monitoring, and Treatment of Tumor Lysis Syndrome: For subjects at high risk for TLS, prophylaxis should be initiated prior to initiation of treatment. Hospitalization may be considered for subjects considered at higher risk for TLS and / or creatinine clearance <80 mL / min. Allopurinol (or other xanthine oxidase inhibitors) should be initiated at least 48 hours prior to C1D1 for subjects considered at moderate to high risk for TLS. Rasburicase is indicated for elevated uric acid levels and monitoring for TLS. During study treatment, all subjects will require appropriate laboratory testing prior to administration of study medication, including uric acid, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and creatinine. Laboratory results should be evaluated in real time. If a subject is unable to take in adequate oral fluids, IV fluids should be added.

[0591] If a subject experiences laboratory changes or symptoms suggestive of TLS, treatment with palamuximab, tafacizumab, and lenalidomide should be interrupted. Study treatment will continue until resolution of TLS. If moderate or high risk of TLS persists after resolution, additional precautions and / or continued interruption or reduction of palamuximab, tafacizumab, or lenalidomide doses may be considered.

[0592] Part 2, Arm B (tafamidis and lenalidomide)TLS should be prevented, monitored, and treated following the guidelines outlined above in “Prevention, Monitoring, and Treatment of Tumor Lysis Syndrome.”

[0593] 5.11 Dosage Adjustment Guidelines

[0594] Subjects who experience severe toxicity will be treated with standard medical interventions as appropriate (e.g., filgrastim for neutropenia and / or acetaminophen for fever). Standard treatment practices may be used for the management of infusion reactions / cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity.

[0595] In general, subjects may need to discontinue palamuximab or tafacitinib treatment if > Grade 2 toxicity prevents dosing for > 14 days and / or 2 consecutive doses are missed (this applies to weekly and Q2W dosing). Subjects may restart study drug even after 2 or more consecutive doses of palamuximab or tafacitinib are missed if the benefits are determined to outweigh the risks and toxicity (if applicable) can be managed with concomitant medications or other means. Medical monitoring approval is required for delays of > 14 days and / or 2 consecutive doses.

[0596] During weekly dosing of paramatuzumab and / or tamiflu, a subject's dose was considered missed if it was paused for ≥7 days. During Q2W dosing of paramatuzumab and / or tamiflu, a subject's dose was considered missed if it was paused for ≥14 days. If a subject's dose was outside the window or delayed due to safety issues (including AEs), it was not considered a protocol deviation.

[0597] After an extended dosing delay of more than one cycle for reasons other than toxicity (e.g., comorbidities, pseudoprogression, or delayed response), palamuxomab may be resumed. Resumption of the initial course of treatment may be permitted on a case-by-case basis if it is considered to be in the best interest of the subject. As a safety measure, the dose may be reduced to the initial dose for re-adjustment. Study assessments (including local and / or central laboratories) should be collected according to the assessment schedule shown, for example, in Table 14.

[0598] For potentially overlapping toxicities (e.g., CRS, infusion reactions, hematologic toxicities), detailed dose modifications by grade are listed in Table 14 below.

[0607] For other AEs ≥ Grade 3, additional dose modifications will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

[0608] 5.12 Results

[0609] It is expected that subjects who receive the combination of palamuxetumab, tafacizumab, and lenalidomide will have improved treatment outcomes compared to subjects who receive tafacizumab and lenalidomide alone.

[0610] DLBCL Baseline Disease Assessment : Prior to the start of the study (17 days prior to the start of the study), the subject was given a PET-CT scan (5-point scale test) and a grade or score of 5 was obtained (Table 16). 61 days after the start of the study, the PET-CT scan showed that the score of the same subject decreased from 5 points to 2 points (Table 17). A PET-CT scan grade of 2 was also observed when measured on the 117th day after the start of the study (Table 17). From 177 days after the start of the study until the end of treatment, the subject's PET-CT scan score decreased to 1 (Table 18). The results show that the subject had a complete metabolic response at the end of treatment (as well as the 2nd, 4th, 6th or later, and / or 8th cycle or later of the study).
