[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 342,057, filed May 13, 2022, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Background Art
[0003] Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a contagious virus associated with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). According to the World Health Organization, over 37 million people worldwide are currently infected with HIV. In 2020, approximately 680,000 people died from HIV-related causes and approximately 1.5 million people acquired HIV. Currently, there is no cure for HIV. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present disclosure recognizes that HIV mutates rapidly. The high variability of HIV viruses enables them to evade host immunity and / or therapeutic pressure. To combat viral escape, combination therapies targeting HIV have been considered, including anti-HIV antibody agents. However, the development of such combination therapies has been hampered by many challenges. First, developing individual HIV therapies is time-consuming and expensive. For example, the development of anti-HIV antibodies is challenged by the high demand and high cost of production, including purification and formulation methods associated with protein therapeutics. Second, combination therapies pose regulatory challenges. In addition to ensuring that combination therapies will be safe and effective, strict regulation of the manufacture of individual therapies, the mixing of multiple therapies, and quality control during storage and administration also complicates the use of combination therapies. Third, administering antibodies to subjects can be painful and time-consuming. Generally, antibodies are administered intravenously over a long period of time. The administration of multiple antibodies can increase the complexity of antibody administration, thereby increasing patient discomfort and consuming additional time. Finally, the serum half-life of recombinant antibodies can be short.
[0005] The present disclosure provides insights into addressing these challenges, making it possible to safely, reliably, and potently deliver not only a single anti-HIV antibody agent to a subject, but also to deliver multiple anti-HIV therapeutic agents, including multiple anti-HIV antibody agents, to a subject. For example, the present disclosure describes an antibody agent or portion thereof (e.g., an immunoglobulin chain) delivered to a subject via a polyribonucleotide. An antibody agent delivered to a subject as one or more polyribonucleotides encoding an antibody agent is referred to herein as a "RiboMab." After one or more polyribonucleotides encoding an antibody agent are delivered to a subject, the subject's body expresses the antibody agent, i.e., a RiboMab." Additionally, the term "RibobNAb" refers to a RiboMab comprising all or part of a broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb), such as a broadly neutralizing antibody targeting HIV. Utilizing polyribonucleotides as therapeutic agents (as opposed to administering the antibody agent itself) involves a simpler and less expensive manufacturing process. The production of polyribonucleotides encoding antibody agents (e.g., anti-HIV antibody agents) is less complex, and manufacturing can be simplified (e.g., by circumventing the need for intensive glycan production and analysis), thereby alleviating risks associated with Regulatory and production challenges associated with the development and use of antibody agents themselves. In addition, polyribonucleotides effectively produce effects similar to recombinant proteins, but often require administration to subjects in much smaller amounts. This is because polyribonucleotides encoding, for example, anti-HIV antibody agents can be administered to subjects and the subject's body itself produces the anti-HIV antibody agent. Using smaller amounts can provide patients with a more pleasant experience and increase patient compliance with treatment regimens. The present disclosure also provides a technology that addresses certain limitations of recombinant antibody technology by utilizing RNA technology as a way to directly express antibody agents in patients' cells, including, for example, the short serum half-life of recombinant antibodies.
[0006] RiboMab technology also allows for the simultaneous administration of two or more antibody agents to a subject. Typically, antibodies produced by, for example, humans, contain four polypeptide chains—two “heavy” chains and two “light” chains. Each polypeptide chain (whether heavy or light) includes (1) a “variable” domain, whose sequence varies between antibodies and whose structure determines the antigen to which the antibody binds, and (2) a “constant” domain, whose sequence and structure generally remain constant within a given class of antibodies and therefore have little effect on antigen binding. In humans, specialized white blood cells called “B cells” produce antibodies. Heavy and light chains are assembled to form antibodies through two key pairings: (1) the fragment crystallizable (Fc) domains of the two heavy chains pair together, and (2) the two light chains each pair with a heavy chain via a disulfide bond. During normal antibody production in humans, a single B cell produces a single antibody. In this case, the correct pairing of heavy and light chains is ensured because only one heavy chain and one light chain are present in each B cell. However, administration of a nucleic acid composition encoding more than one antibody agent to a subject requires proper assembly of immunoglobulin chains (eg, heavy and light chains) so that unwanted byproducts (eg, antibody agents with unintended pairings) are not formed.

In some embodiments, "aryl" contains between six and twelve total ring members (e.g., C6-C12). The term "aryl" can be used interchangeably with the term "aromatic ring". In certain embodiments, "aryl" refers to an aromatic ring system that can carry one or more substituents, including but not limited to phenyl, biphenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl, and the like. Unless otherwise specified, "aryl" is a hydrocarbon. In some embodiments, an "aryl" ring system is an aromatic ring (e.g., phenyl) fused to a non-aromatic ring (e.g., cycloalkyl).
[0324] Examples of fused aromatic rings include
[0325] Correlation: As used herein, two events or entities are "associated" with each other if the presence, level, extent, type, and / or form of one event or entity is correlated with the presence, level, extent, type, and / or form of another event or entity. For example, if the presence, level, and / or form of a particular entity (e.g., a polypeptide, genetic signature, metabolite, microorganism, etc.) is correlated with the incidence, susceptibility, severity, stage, etc. of a particular disease, disorder, or condition (e.g., among related populations), it is considered to be associated with the disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, two or more entities are physically "associated" with each other if they interact, directly or indirectly, such that they are brought into physical proximity and / or remain in physical proximity to each other. In some embodiments, two or more entities that are physically associated with each other are covalently linked to each other; in some embodiments, two or more entities that are physically associated with each other are not covalently linked to each other, but are non-covalently associated, for example, by means of hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interactions, hydrophobic interactions, magnetic forces, and combinations thereof.
[0326] Co-administration: As used herein, the term "co-administration" refers to the use of a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) as described herein and one or more additional therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, one or more additional therapeutic agents comprise at least one polyribonucleotide encoding another antibody agent (e.g., an anti-HIV antigen antibody agent). The combined use of a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) as described herein and an additional therapeutic agent can be performed simultaneously or separately (e.g., sequentially in any order). In some embodiments, a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) as described herein and an additional therapeutic agent can be combined in a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, or they can be placed in a separate excipient and delivered to a target cell or administered to a subject at different times. As long as the composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) and an additional therapeutic agent as described herein are delivered or administered close enough in time so that the biological effects produced by each on the target cell or the subject being treated overlap at least some time, each of these situations is considered to be within the meaning of "co-administration" or "combination."
[0327] Combination therapy: As used herein, the term "combination therapy" refers to those situations in which a subject is exposed to two or more treatment regimens (e.g., two or more therapeutic agents (e.g., two or more antibody agents)) at the same time. In some embodiments, two or more regimens can be administered simultaneously; in some embodiments, such regimens can be administered sequentially (e.g., all "doses" of the first regimen are administered, followed by any doses of the second regimen); in some embodiments, such agents are administered in overlapping dosing regimens. In some embodiments, the administration of the combination therapy may involve administering one or more agents or modalities to a subject who is receiving the other agents or modalities in the combination. For clarity, combination therapy does not require that the individual agents be administered together in a single composition (or not even necessarily at the same time), but in some embodiments, two or more agents or active portions thereof can be administered together in a combination composition. In some embodiments, the combination therapy comprises polyribonucleotides encoding two or more antibody agents (e.g., anti-HIV antibody agents).
[0328] Comparable: As used herein, the term "comparable" refers to two or more agents, entities, situations, sets of conditions, etc. that may not be identical to one another, but are similar enough to allow comparisons to be made between them so that one skilled in the art will understand that conclusions can be reasonably drawn based on the observed differences or similarities. In some embodiments, a set of comparable conditions, situations, individuals, or populations is characterized by a plurality of substantially identical features and one or a small amount of variation. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that, in the context, in any given case, what degree of identity is required for a set of two or more such agents, entities, situations, conditions, etc. to be considered comparable. For example, one of ordinary skill in the art will understand that when a set of situations, individuals, or populations is characterized by a sufficient number and type of substantially identical features, they are comparable to one another to ensure that the conclusion is reasonable, i.e., the differences in the results or observed phenomena obtained under or with different sets of situations, individuals, or populations are caused by or indicate variations in those features that have varied.
[0329] Corresponding to: As used herein, the term "corresponding to" refers to a relationship between two or more entities. For example, the term "corresponding to" can be used to indicate the position / identity of a structural element in a compound or composition relative to another compound or composition (e.g., relative to an appropriate reference compound or composition). For example, in some embodiments, a monomer residue in a polymer (e.g., an amino acid residue in a polypeptide or a nucleic acid residue in a polynucleotide) can be identified as a residue in an appropriate reference polymer. For example, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that, for simplicity, residues in polypeptides are often designated using a canonical numbering system based on a reference to a related polypeptide, such that, for example, an amino acid that "corresponds to" a residue at position 190 is not actually necessarily the 190th amino acid in a particular amino acid chain, but rather corresponds to the residue found at 190 in a reference polypeptide; one of ordinary skill in the art will readily understand how to identify a "corresponding" amino acid. For example, those skilled in the art will be aware of various sequence alignment strategies, including software programs such as BLAST, CS-BLAST, CUSASW++, DIAMOND, FASTA, GGSEARCH / GLSEARCH, Genoogle, HMMER, HHpred / HHsearch, IDF, Infernal, KLAST, USEARCH, parasail, PSI-BLAST, PSI-Search, ScalaBLAST, Sequilab, SAM, SSEARCH, SWAPHI, SWAPHI-LS, SWIMM, or SWIPE, which can be used, for example, to identify "corresponding" residues in polypeptides and / or nucleic acids according to the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in some cases, the term "corresponding to" can be used to describe an event or entity that shares a relevant similarity with another event or entity (e.g., an appropriate reference event or entity). As just one example, a gene or protein in one organism may be described as "corresponding to" a gene or protein from another organism to indicate that, in some embodiments, it plays a similar role or performs a similar function and / or that it exhibits a particular degree of sequence identity or homology, or shares particular characteristic sequence elements.
[0330] Cycloaliphatic: As used herein, the term "cycloaliphatic" refers to a monocyclic C-1-cyclic alkyl radical that is fully saturated or contains one or more unsaturated units but is not aromatic and has a single point of attachment or more than one point of attachment to the rest of the molecule. 3-8 Hydrocarbon or bicyclic C 6-10 hydrocarbon.
[0331] Cycloalkyl: As used herein, the term "cycloalkyl" refers to an optionally substituted, saturated, monocyclic or polycyclic ring system of about 3 to about 10 ring carbon atoms. Exemplary monocyclic cycloalkyl rings include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl.
[0332] Derived: In the context of an amino acid sequence (peptide or polypeptide) that is "derived from" a specified amino acid sequence (peptide or polypeptide), it refers to a structural analog of the specified amino acid sequence. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence derived from a specific amino acid sequence has an amino acid sequence that is identical, substantially identical, or homologous to the specific sequence or a fragment thereof. The amino acid sequence derived from a specific amino acid sequence may be a variant of the specific sequence or a fragment thereof. For example, the antibody agent used in accordance with the present disclosure may include amino acid sequences (e.g., CDRs, variable domains, constant domains, etc.) derived from other antibodies (e.g., naturally occurring antibodies).
[0333] Detection: The term "detection" is used broadly herein to include appropriate means for determining the presence or absence of an entity of interest in a sample or any form of measurement of an entity of interest. Thus, "detection" can include determining, measuring, evaluating or analyzing the presence or absence, level, amount and / or position of an entity of interest. Includes quantitative and qualitative determination, measurement or evaluation, including semi-quantitative. Such determination, measurement or evaluation can be relative (e.g., when the entity of interest is detected relative to a control reference), or absolute. Thus, the term "quantitative" can refer to absolute or relative quantification when used in the context of quantitatively measuring an entity of interest. Absolute quantification can be achieved by associating the level of the detected entity of interest with a known control standard (e.g., by generating a standard curve). Alternatively, relative quantification can be achieved by comparing the level or amount detected between two or more different entities of interest to provide relative quantification of each of the two or more different entities of interest (i.e., relative to each other).
[0334] Dosing regimen: Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the term "dosing regimen" (or "therapeutic regimen") can be used to refer to a group of unit doses (usually more than one) that are administered individually to a subject, usually at intervals of time. In some embodiments, a given therapeutic agent has a recommended dosing regimen that may involve one or more doses.
[0335] Encoding: As used herein, the term "encode / encoding" refers to the sequence information of a first molecule, which guides the production of a second molecule having a determined nucleotide sequence (e.g., a polyribonucleotide) or a determined amino acid sequence. For example, a DNA molecule can encode an RNA molecule (e.g., through a transcription process involving a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase). An RNA molecule can encode a polypeptide (e.g., through a translation process). Therefore, if the transcription and translation of the RNA corresponding to a gene produces a polypeptide in a cell or other biological system, the gene, cDNA, or RNA molecule encodes the polypeptide. In some embodiments, the coding region of a polyribonucleotide encoding a target antigen refers to a coding chain whose nucleotide sequence is identical to the polyribonucleotide sequence of such a target antigen. In some embodiments, the coding region of a polyribonucleotide encoding a target antigen refers to a non-coding chain of such a target antigen, which can be used as a transcription template for a gene or cDNA.
[0336] Engineered: Generally, the term "engineered" refers to aspects that have been manipulated by the hand of man. For example, a polynucleotide is considered "engineered" when two or more sequences that are not linked together in nature are directly linked to each other in an engineered polynucleotide by human manipulation and / or when specific residues in a polynucleotide are non-naturally occurring and / or are caused by the action of man to be linked to entities or moieties to which they are not linked in nature.
[0337] Epitope: As used herein, the term "epitope" refers to a portion that is specifically recognized by an immunoglobulin (e.g., an antibody or receptor) binding component. For example, an epitope can be recognized by a T cell, a B cell, or an antibody. In some embodiments, an epitope comprises a plurality of chemical atoms or groups on an antigen. In some embodiments, when the antigen adopts a related three-dimensional conformation, such chemical atoms or groups are surface exposed. In some embodiments, when the antigen adopts such a conformation, such chemical atoms or groups are physically close to each other in space. In some embodiments, when the antigen adopts an alternative conformation (e.g., linearized), at least some of such chemical atoms or groups are physically separated from each other. Therefore, in some embodiments, the epitope of an antigen may include a continuous or discontinuous portion of the antigen. In some embodiments, an epitope is or comprises a T cell epitope. In some embodiments, an epitope may have a length of about 5 to about 30 amino acids, or about 10 to about 25 amino acids, or about 5 to about 15 amino acids, or about 5 to 12 amino acids, or about 6 to about 9 amino acids.
[0338] Expression: As used herein, the term "expression" of a nucleic acid sequence refers to the production of a gene product from the nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the gene product can be a transcript, such as a polyribonucleotide as provided herein. In some embodiments, the gene product can be a polypeptide. In some embodiments, expression of a nucleic acid sequence involves one or more of the following: (1) production of an RNA template from the DNA sequence (e.g., by transcription); (2) processing of the RNA transcript (e.g., by splicing, editing, etc.); (3) translation of the RNA into a polypeptide or protein; and / or (4) post-translational modification of the polypeptide or protein.
[0339] Heteroaliphatic: As used herein, the term "heteroaliphatic" or "heteroaliphatic group" means an optionally substituted hydrocarbon moiety having from one to five heteroatoms in addition to carbon atoms, which may be straight chain (i.e., unbranched), branched, or cyclic ("heterocycle") and may be fully saturated, or may contain one or more unsaturated units but is not aromatic. The term "heteroatom" refers to nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, and includes any oxidized form of nitrogen or sulfur and any quaternized form of basic nitrogen. The term "nitrogen" also includes substituted nitrogen. Unless otherwise specified, heteroaliphatic groups contain 1-10 carbon atoms, of which 1-3 carbon atoms are optionally and independently replaced by heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. In some embodiments, heteroaliphatic groups contain 1-4 carbon atoms, of which 1-2 carbon atoms are optionally and independently replaced by heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. In other embodiments, heteroaliphatic groups contain 1-3 carbon atoms, of which 1 carbon atom is optionally and independently replaced by a heteroatom selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Suitable heteroaliphatic groups include, but are not limited to, straight or branched chain heteroalkyl, heteroalkenyl, and heteroalkynyl groups. For example, heteroaliphatic groups of 1 to 10 atoms include the following exemplary groups: O-CH3, -CH2-O-CH3, -O-CH2-CH2-O-CH2-CH2-O-CH3, etc.
[0340] Heteroaryl: The terms "heteroaryl" and "heteroar-" used alone or as part of a larger moiety (e.g., "heteroaralkyl" or "heteroaralkoxy") refer to monocyclic or bicyclic groups having 5 to 10 ring atoms (e.g., a 5- to 6-membered monocyclic heteroaryl or a 9- to 10-membered bicyclic heteroaryl); having 6, 10, or 14 pi electrons shared in the cyclic array; and having one to five heteroatoms in addition to carbon atoms.

[0341] Heteroatom: As used herein, the term "heteroatom" refers to nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, and includes any oxidized form of nitrogen or sulfur, and any quaternized form of a basic nitrogen.
[0342] Heterocycle: As used herein, the terms "heterocycle", "heterocyclyl", "heterocyclic radical" and "heterocyclic ring" are used interchangeably and refer to a stable 3- to 8-membered monocyclic, 6- to 10-membered bicyclic or 10- to 16-membered polycyclic heterocyclic moiety that is saturated or partially unsaturated and has one or more (such as one to four) heteroatoms as defined above in addition to carbon atoms. The term "nitrogen" when used to refer to the ring atoms of a heterocycle includes substituted nitrogen. For example, in a saturated or partially unsaturated ring having 0-3 heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen, nitrogen may be N (as in 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrolyl), NH (as in pyrrolidinyl) or NR + (as in the pyrrolidinyl of N- substitution).Heterocycle can be connected to its side group at any heteroatom or carbon atom, so as to produce stable structure, and any ring atom can be optionally substituted.The example of such saturated or partially unsaturated heterocyclic group includes but is not limited to azetidinyl (azetidinyl), oxetanyl (oxetanyl), tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothienyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, decahydroquinolinyl, oxazolidinyl, piperazinyl, dioxanyl, dioxolane, diazepine, oxazepine, sulphuretrazolyl, morpholinyl and thiomorpholinyl.Heterocyclic group can be monocycle, bicycle, tricycle or polycycle, preferably monocycle, bicycle or tricycle, more preferably monocycle or bicycle.Bicyclic heterocycle also includes the group in which heterocycle is fused with one or more aromatic rings. Exemplary bicyclic heterocyclic groups include indolinyl, isoindolinyl, benzodioxolyl, 1,3-dihydroisobenzofuranyl, 2,3-dihydrobenzofuranyl and tetrahydroquinolinyl. The bicyclic heterocycle can also be a spiro ring system (e.g., a 7- to 11-membered spiro ring fused heterocycle having one or more heteroatoms (e.g., one, two, three or four heteroatoms) as defined above in addition to carbon atoms). The bicyclic heterocycle can also be a bridged ring system (e.g., a 7- to 11-membered bridged heterocycle having one, two or three bridging atoms).
[0343] Homology: As used herein, the terms "homology" or "homologs" refer to the overall relatedness between polynucleotide molecules (e.g., DNA molecules and / or RNA molecules) and / or between polypeptide molecules. In some embodiments, polynucleotide molecules (e.g., DNA molecules and / or RNA molecules) and / or polypeptide molecules are considered to be "homologous" to each other if their sequences are at least 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identical. In some embodiments, if the sequences of polynucleotide molecules (e.g., DNA molecules and / or RNA molecules) and / or polypeptide molecules are at least 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or 99% similar (e.g., containing residues related in chemical properties at corresponding positions), they are considered to be "homologous" to each other. For example, as is well known to those skilled in the art, certain amino acids are typically classified as "hydrophobic" or "hydrophilic" amino acids that are similar to each other, and / or have "polar" or "non-polar" side chains. Substituting one amino acid for another amino acid of the same type is generally considered a "homologous" substitution.
[0344] Identity: As used herein, the term "identity" refers to the overall relatedness between polynucleotide molecules (e.g., DNA molecules and / or RNA molecules) and / or between polypeptide molecules. In some embodiments, polynucleotide molecules (e.g., DNA molecules and / or RNA molecules) and / or polypeptide molecules are considered to be "substantially identical" to each other if their sequences are at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical. The calculation of the percent identity of two nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences can be performed, for example, by aligning the two sequences for the purpose of optimal comparison (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of the first and second sequences for optimal alignment, and non-identical sequences can be ignored for the purpose of comparison). In certain embodiments, the length of the sequence compared for the purpose of comparison is at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or substantially 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The nucleotides at the corresponding positions are then compared. When the position in the first sequence is occupied by the same residue (e.g., nucleotide or amino acid) as the corresponding position in the second sequence, the molecules are identical at the position. Taking into account the number of gaps and the length of each gap, the percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, which gaps need to be introduced for the optimal comparison of the two sequences. Mathematical algorithms can be used to complete the comparison of the sequences between the two sequences and the determination of percent identity. For example, the algorithm of Meyers and Miller, 1989, incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), can be used to determine the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences. In some exemplary embodiments, nucleic acid sequence comparisons performed with the ALIGN program use a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4. Alternatively, the GAP program in the GCG software package can be used to determine the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences using the NWSgapdna.CMP matrix.
[0345] Increased, induced, or decreased: As used herein, these terms or grammatically equivalent comparative terms indicate a value relative to a comparable reference measurement. For example, in some embodiments, an assessment obtained with a provided composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) may be "increased" relative to an assessment obtained with a comparable reference composition. Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, an assessment obtained in a subject may be "increased" relative to an assessment obtained under different conditions in the same subject (e.g., before or after an event; or with or without an event, such as administration of a composition as described herein (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) or in a different comparable subject (e.g., in a comparable subject different from the subject of interest, the subject of interest having been previously exposed to conditions in which, for example, the absence of administration of a composition as described herein (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition)). In some embodiments, comparative terms refer to statistically relevant differences (e.g., prevalence and / or magnitude sufficient to achieve statistical relevance). Those skilled in the art will recognize or will readily be able to provide a comparative term for a given subject. In some embodiments, the term "reduced" or equivalent terms refers to a decrease in the level of an assessed value by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 50%, at least 75% or more compared to a comparable reference. In some embodiments, the term "reduced" or equivalent terms refers to complete or substantially complete inhibition, i.e., reduction to zero or substantially to zero. In some embodiments, the term "increased" or "induced" refers to an increase in the level of an assessed value by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 80%, at least 100%, at least 200%, at least 500% or more compared to a comparable reference.
[0346] In sequence: As used herein with respect to polynucleotides or polyribonucleotides, "in sequence" refers to the order of features along the polynucleotide or polyribonucleotide from 5' to 3'. As used herein with respect to polypeptides, "in sequence" refers to the order of features along the polypeptide moving from the feature closest to the N-terminus to the feature closest to the C-terminus. "In sequence" does not mean that additional features cannot be present in the listed features. For example, if features A, B, and C of a polynucleotide are described herein as "in sequence as feature A, feature B, and feature C," such description does not exclude, for example, that feature D is located between features A and B.
[0347] Ionizable: The term "ionizable" refers to a compound or group or atom that is charged at a certain pH. In the context of ionizable amino lipids, such lipids or their functional groups or atoms carry a positive charge at a certain pH. In some embodiments, ionizable amino lipids are positively charged at acidic pH. In some embodiments, ionizable amino lipids are mainly neutral at physiological pH (e.g., about 7.0-7.4 in some embodiments), but become positively charged at lower pH values. In some embodiments, ionizable amino lipids can have a pKa in the range of about 5 to about 7.
[0348] Isolated: The term "isolated" means altered or removed from its native state. For example, a nucleic acid or peptide naturally occurring in a living animal is not "isolated," but the same nucleic acid or peptide partially or completely separated from the coexisting materials of its native state is "isolated." An isolated nucleic acid or protein can exist in a substantially purified form or can exist in a non-native environment (e.g., a host cell).
[0349] Lipid: As used herein, the terms "lipid" and "lipid-like material" are broadly defined as molecules comprising one or more hydrophobic portions or groups and optionally also comprising one or more hydrophilic portions or groups. Molecules comprising a hydrophobic portion and a hydrophilic portion are also commonly referred to as amphiphilic molecules.
[0350] RNA lipid nanoparticles: as used herein, the term "RNA lipid nanoparticles" refers to nanoparticles comprising at least one lipid and RNA molecules, for example, one or more polyribonucleotides as provided herein.

The term "ribonucleotide" also encompasses ribonucleotide triphosphates, including modified and unmodified ribonucleotide triphosphates.
[0359] Risk: It will be understood from the context that the "risk" of a disease, condition and / or illness refers to the likelihood that a particular individual will develop the disease, condition and / or illness. In some embodiments, risk is expressed as a percentage. In some embodiments, risk is expressed as a risk relative to the risk associated with a reference sample or reference sample group. In some embodiments, a reference sample or reference sample group has a risk of a known disease, condition, illness and / or event. In some embodiments, a reference sample or reference sample group is from an individual comparable to a particular individual. In some embodiments, risk can reflect one or more genetic attributes, such as which may make an individual susceptible to (or not susceptible to) a particular disease, condition and / or illness. In some embodiments, risk can reflect one or more epigenetic events or attributes and / or one or more lifestyle or environmental events or attributes.
[0360] Selectivity or specificity: The term "selectivity" or "specificity" when used herein to refer to an agent with activity is understood by those skilled in the art to mean that the agent will distinguish between potential target entities, states, or cells. For example, in some embodiments, an agent is considered to "specifically" bind to its target if it preferentially binds to its target in the presence of one or more competing alternative targets. In many embodiments, specific interactions depend on the presence of specific structural features (e.g., epitopes, clefts, binding sites) of the target entity. It should be understood that specificity does not need to be absolute. In some embodiments, specificity can be assessed relative to the specificity of the target binding portion for one or more other potential target entities (e.g., competitors). In some embodiments, specificity is assessed relative to the specificity of a reference specific binding portion. In some embodiments, specificity is assessed relative to the specificity of a reference non-specific binding portion.

[0373] I. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
[0374] Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus in the retroviridae family. Mature HIV particles are typically round in shape and approximately 100 nm in diameter. They consist of a core (from innermost to outermost) containing two identical single-stranded RNA molecules, a capsid, and an envelope ( Figure 1B (Musumeci et al., Molecules 20.9 (2015): 17511-17532, which is incorporated herein by reference). The envelope is composed of a lipid bilayer and Env proteins. These Env proteins exist as trimers of gp120 surface proteins, anchored to the envelope by gp41 transmembrane proteins. The viral capsid is surrounded by the envelope and comprises a symmetrical outer capsid membrane composed of the matrix protein p17. Within the outer capsid membrane is a conical capsid containing the inner capsid protein p24. The inner capsid is attached to the outer capsid membrane at its conical cone. The inner capsid contains the viral RNA (two identical copies) and the viral enzymes: reverse transcriptase, integrase, and protease. Viruses also contain oligopeptides generated by proteolytic processing of Gag and Gag / Pol precursor proteins p55 and p160 during virion maturation (GAC, Transfusion Medicine Hemotherapy, 43:203-222, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0375] There are two main types of HIV: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is the most common type of HIV and accounts for 95% of all infections worldwide. HIV-2 is less common and less contagious. HIV-2 is primarily concentrated in West Africa and surrounding countries.
[0376] HIV-1 and HIV-2 share many similarities, including their intracellular replication pathways, modes of transmission, and the clinical effects that lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, due to its lower transmissibility, HIV-2 is less likely to progress to AIDS. Consequently, individuals infected with HIV-2 typically experience prolonged periods of no observable disease progression, whereas those infected with HIV-1 progress more rapidly and are more susceptible to AIDS.
[0377] However, once progression begins, the pathological course of both viruses is broadly similar. One difference is that HIV-2 has been found to progress at higher CD4 counts. Furthermore, HIV-2 infection is characterized by lower viral loads, exceeding 10,000 copies / mL, compared to the millions of copies / mL seen with HIV-1. In the case of HIV-2 infection, the subject's immune response tends to be more protective, thus slowing disease progression.
[0378] HIV-1 and HIV-2 are further divided into groups and subtypes. HIV-1 is divided into the major or M group, the unusual or O group, and the non-M / O or N group. The most common group is group M, which is primarily responsible for the global HIV epidemic. The other groups are relatively rare and are found in selected geographic settings, including Gabon, Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea.
[0379] Group M is further genetically divided into distinct subtypes: A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J, and K. Some of these subtypes combine to form hybrid viruses known as "circulating recombinant forms." Globally, subtype B accounts for 12% of HIV infections. Subtype B is the predominant HIV-1 subtype found in the Americas, Australia, and Western Europe. Consequently, most HIV clinical research to date has focused on these subtypes.
[0380] Despite accounting for nearly 50% of all HIV infections, subtype C has been poorly studied. Subtype C is common in southern African countries, where HIV prevalence is high. Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the regions of origin of HIV-1, are known for their high subtype diversity. However, global subtype distribution patterns are currently changing due to population mixing and migration.
[0381] To date, approximately eight HIV-2 subtypes have been identified. The two main HIV-2 subtypes considered prevalent are A and B. HIV-2 group A infections are primarily seen in West Africa, but a few cases have also been reported in Brazil, Europe, the United States, and India. HIV-2 group B infections are only seen in West Africa.
[0382] Because HIV subtypes may have diversity geographically, ideal therapeutic agents can target and neutralize more than one subtype, even more preferably multiple HIV strains. As discussed further below, anti-HIV antibodies that can bind and at least temporarily neutralize HIV virions have been developed. Nevertheless, this type of anti-HIV antibody still has problems, including administering challenges, antibody persistence in vivo, and viral escape. As described herein, polyribonucleotides and compositions of the present disclosure address these challenges.
[0383] A. HIV genome
[0384] HIV contains two identical copies of the single-stranded DNA encoding its genome. When the virus is integrated into the host cell, the viral RNA is reverse transcribed into double-stranded DNA, thereby causing RNA degradation and integration of double-stranded DNA or proviral DNA into the host genome. Both ends of the HIV genome are flanked by LTR (long terminal repeat) regions, including 5' LTRs encoding transcription promoters. The RNA genome is 9749 nucleotides and includes a 5' cap, a 3' poly (A) tail, and several open reading frames (ORFs) (Wain-Hobson et al., Cell 40 (1): 9-17, 1985, which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0385] The HIV genome includes the following genes: gag, pol, vif, vpr, tat, rev, vpu, env, and nef (see Figure 1A The proteins encoded by gag, pol, and env are viral structural proteins. The proteins encoded by tat and rev are essential regulatory proteins. The proteins encoded by nef, vpr, vif, and vpu are auxiliary regulatory proteins. The gag gene encodes the outer core membrane protein (p17), the capsid protein (p24), the nucleoprotein (p7), the Pr55Gag precursor protein, and the p6 protein. Protein p24 forms the conical capsid, and protein p17 forms the inner membrane layer. Protein p6 is involved in the release of viral particles.
[0386] The pol gene encodes the Pr160GagPol precursor protein, the protease p10, the reverse transcriptase (p51), and RNase H (p15), or both together as the p66 protein, and the integrase p32. Pr160GagPol is the precursor of the viral enzymes p10, p51, and p15. Proteolytic cleavage of Gag (Pr55) and Gag-Pol (Pr160GagPol) produces the protease p10. The protein p51 reverse transcriptase is responsible for transcribing HIV RNA into proviral DNA. When proviral DNA is produced, the protein p55 (RNAse H) is used to degrade the viral RNA in the viral RNA / DNA complex. The protein p32 integrase functions to integrate the proviral DNA into the host cell genome.
[0387] The env gene encodes the precursor protein PrGp160 for two envelope glycoproteins, gp120 (surface protein) and gp41 (transmembrane protein). Proteins gp120 and gp41 are produced by protease cleavage of the precursor protein PrGp160. The gp120 protein plays a role in attaching the virus to the target host cell. The gp41 protein anchors gp120 to the viral membrane and facilitates fusion of the viral and target cell membranes.
[0388] The tat gene encodes the Tat protein p14 (transactivator), which activates transcription of viral genes. The rev gene encodes the Rev protein p19 (RNA splicing regulator), which regulates the export of mRNA (unspliced and partially spliced). The nef gene encodes the Nef protein p27 (negative regulator), which plays a role in HIV replication and enhances the infectivity of the virus in host cells. Protein p27 also serves to downregulate CD4 and HLA on target cells. The vif gene encodes the Vif protein p23 (viral infectivity factor), which functions to produce virus in host cells. The vpr gene encodes the Vpr protein p15 (viral protein r). This protein interacts with the p6 protein and promotes the infectivity of the virus in host cells. The vpu gene encodes the Vpu protein p16 (viral unique protein), which allows for the efficient release of viral particles and controls the degradation of CD4 on target cells. Protein p16 also controls intracellular signaling. The gene vpx encodes the Vpx protein p15 (viral protein x), which interacts with the p6 protein and is important in the early stages of viral replication. The gene tev encodes the Tat / Rev protein p26, which is a fusion protein that regulates the Tat and Rev proteins (GAC, Transfusion Medicine Hemotherapy, 43:203-222, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0389] B. Life cycle
[0390] The life cycle of HIV involves the entry of HIV virions into target host cells, reverse transcription of the viral genome, integration into the host genome, and protein maturation. To initiate infection, HIV particles come into contact with target host cells. The surface glycoprotein env gp120 of mature HIV particles binds to the CD4 receptor on the target host cell, thereby initiating additional binding of gp120 to co-receptors (i.e., chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) or chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4 of fusion proteins)). The binding of gp120 to CD4 and co-receptors triggers a conformational change in gp120, allowing gp41 to be presented on the viral membrane and to fuse with the plasma membrane of the target host cell. The viral capsid then enters the cytoplasm of the host cell. The capsid is absorbed by the endosome, releasing its contents, i.e., viral RNA. After the virus enters and is released into the target host cell, the virus undergoes reverse transcription, wherein the viral RNA is reverse transcribed into single-stranded cDNA. Next, the RNA strand is degraded by RNase H, and the single-stranded cDNA is converted into double-stranded DNA by the DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity of reverse transcriptase.
[0391] The double-stranded DNA, or proviral DNA, forms a complex with the integrase enzyme and is transported to the host cell's nucleus, where it randomly inserts itself into the host cell genome. Once integrated into the genome, the proviral genome replicates. The proviral genome can replicate along with the host cell genome as part of cell division, or it can replicate using its own mechanisms. For example, the LTR promoter creates an attachment site for the cellular DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and transcription factors to initiate transcription. The Tat protein accelerates transcription of the proviral DNA.
[0392] The process of entering the target host cell, reverse transcription, integration and protein maturation can be completed in less than 24 hours, and progeny virus particles can be detected within 12 hours after infection. The first progeny virus particles after infection may be released from the infected cells about 24 hours after infection. The infected T cells are usually eliminated by the immune system (for example, by cytotoxic T cells) at a rate of 2-4 days. Because the T cells infected by HIV are destroyed and the production of T cells is restricted, T helper cells will decrease. Proteins nef and tat also inhibit the maturation and replacement of helper T cells. Therefore, over time, HIV infection will lead to immunodeficiency (GAC, Transfusion Medicine Hemotherapy, 43:203-222, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0393] C. Transmission and Pathology
[0394] HIV enters the body through intact mucous membranes, damaged skin, or through parenteral inoculation. HIV is most commonly transmitted sexually. HIV can be detected throughout the body approximately 10-14 days after infection, and transmission through the blood or transplanted organs is possible approximately 5-6 days after infection. Clinical symptoms usually appear 3-6 weeks after infection and may include fever, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, rash, gastrointestinal symptoms, acute neuropathy, myalgia, and / or malaise. However, during this acute phase, some individuals are asymptomatic. These symptoms of acute or primary infection can last 2-6 weeks. This initial symptomatic period is then usually followed by an asymptomatic or sporadic symptomatic phase that may last for several years.
[0395] If untreated, HIV infection leads to progressive CD4+ T cell loss, which can cause a range of immune abnormalities and increase the risk of infectious and neoplastic complications. Furthermore, HIV infection can lead to cardiovascular disease, bone disease, kidney and liver dysfunction, and several other common pathologies.
[0396] Although antiviral therapy (ART) has been developed to treat HIV infection, ART can only prevent new cells from being infected, that is, if the cell already contains viral DNA integrated into its genome, ART cannot eliminate the infection. In addition, HIV establishes a latent infection in CD4+T cells, and the infection can be maintained indefinitely, and some have the ability to self-renew. Once HIV is integrated into the cell genome, it may continue to restart replication in the cell. (Deeks et al. Nature reviews 1.1 2015 and GAC, Transfusion Medicine Hemotherapy, 43: 203-222, 2016, which are incorporated herein by reference).
[0397] D. Treatment strategies
[0398] The development of therapeutic agents targeting HIV faces many challenges. One challenging factor is the heterogeneity of the virus. HIV can be divided into at least two major types (HIV-1, which is found worldwide; and HIV-2, which is mainly found in West Africa), and HIV-1 is further divided into three subgroups (M, N, O and P), and M is further divided into subtype AL. Subtypes can also recombine after co-infection, thereby generating other recombinant subtypes.
[0399] Another challenging factor is the high mutation rate of HIV in vivo. A recent study quantified the spontaneous mutation rate of HIV-1 genome-wide in DNA sequences from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and revealed an extremely high mutation rate of 4.1 ± 1.7 × 10 per base per cell. -3, which is the highest mutation rate ever reported for any biological entity (Cuevas et al., PloS Biol 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference). Therefore, the ability to identify and develop therapeutics that target conserved epitopes across multiple groups and subtypes of HIV sequences, which are constantly mutating, is extremely challenging, and the virus has a unique ability to evade the immune system.
[0400] In addition to its high mutation frequency, HIV presents other challenges to the immune system, making its treatment uniquely challenging. Therapeutic targets on HIV include the HIV envelope protein (HIV Env). However, HIV Env is heavily glycosylated, and the Env site is therefore shielded from therapeutic use by the presence of glycans. Furthermore, Env glycans are derived from the host and can be highly heterogeneous.
[0401] Recent therapeutic strategies involve the use of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), which are antibodies that can neutralize a variety of global HIV isolates. Such antibodies have been identified from HIV-infected individuals who are considered "elite neutralizers," which account for <10% of HIV patients (Burton and Hangartner, Ann. Rev. Immunol. 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference). Such antibodies provide insights into potential target epitopes and structures for therapeutic agents. Other advances that contribute to the advancement of therapeutic agents include the generation of stable HIV Env spike trimers (Sanders and Moore, Immunol. Rev. 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference) and the characterization of their structures at high resolution (Ward and Wilson, Immunol. Rev. 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference). Examples of Env sites that are potential targets include the apical site, the high mannose patch in the gp120 region, the gp120-gp41 interface region, the gp41 membrane proximal region (MPER), and the CD4 binding site (see Figure 2 , from McCoy and Burton, Immunol Rev. 275.1 11-20 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference). As therapeutic targets for bNAbs, each of these sites presents unique challenges. For example, bNAbs targeting the gp41-gp120 interface must be able to bind to complex heterogeneous glycans. BNAbs targeting the CD4 binding site of the Env protein have been found to exhibit high levels of somatic hypermutation.
[0402] Nonetheless, among these loci, CD4b is of particular interest because CD4 serves as the primary receptor for viral entry. Certain CD4b bNAbs are characterized by the use of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene segment IGVH1-2*02, high levels of somatic hypermutation, a five-residue complementarity-determining region 3 (LCDR3) of the light chain, and mimicking of the Env-CD4 interaction. Other CD4b bNAbs are characterized by the use of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene segment IGVH1-46 (e.g., IGVH1-46*01) and may have a longer LCDR3.
[0403] In addition, the present disclosure also provides polyribonucleotides encoding antibody agents (e.g., bNAbs) that target a wider group of HIV variants and are therefore capable of treating more HIV patients. In addition, the present disclosure also provides compositions for delivering polyribonucleotides encoding antibody agents (e.g., bNAbs) that target various HIV sequences.
[0404] 1. Antiviral treatment for HIV
[0405] At present, HIV infection is mainly treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART is a type of drug that can reduce HIV proliferation, increase CD4 cell count and reduce the risk of transmission to infected individuals. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends starting ART for all adults infected with HIV, regardless of clinical stage or CD4 cell count (Consolidated guidelines on HIV prevention, testing, treatment, service delivery and monitoring: recommendations for a public health approach. Geneva: World Health Organization; 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference). However, ART is not a curative therapy. If the infected individual stops taking ART, viremia (such as viral load) will rebound rapidly. The high mutation rate of HIV also constrains patients to strictly adhere to their therapy to avoid escape mutants and treatment failure. Therefore, ART is intended to be taken daily by infected subjects for life.
[0406] There are several types of FDA-approved ART treatments for HIV, which work through different mechanisms. Effective management of HIV infection typically involves a combination of at least three ARTs to treat the complex pathogenicity of the disease. The most effective ART combination typically varies depending on the infected individual (see, for example, Bhatti et al., Cureus 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference). Cihlar et al., Current opinion in virology, 2016 (incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) reviewed the ART drug classes used to treat HIV.
[0407] Table 1: Exemplary classes of ART for the treatment of HIV, their mechanisms of action, and exemplary compounds within each class
[0408]
[0409]
[0410] 2. HIV antibody agent
[0411] In addition to ART, anti-HIV antibodies have also been developed. Using anti-HIV antibodies to treat HIV generally requires antibodies to have specific characteristics, including safety, favorable pharmacokinetic profiles, efficient neutralizing activity, and broad neutralizing activity to effectively target the diversity present in HIV virions. As with other HIV therapeutics (including, for example, ART), viral escape of anti-HIV antibodies is a major challenge.
[0412] For example, Barouch et al. infected rhesus macaques with SHIV-SF162P3 (Barouch et al., Nature 503:7475224-228, 2013), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Rhesus macaques were then treated with three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs): the N332 glycan-dependent mAb PGT121 and the CD4 binding site-specific mAbs 3BNC117 and b12. The mAbs were administered as a mixture at 10 mg / kg each on days 0 and 7; as a mixture alone at 10 mg / kg each on day 0; or as a combination of PGT121 and 3BNC117 alone at 10 mg / kg each. Transient viral suppression was not observed until bNAb levels fell below 10 μg / mL. mAbs were also administered alone to rhesus macaques, and PGT121 alone induced rapid virological control, with most animals rebounding after 6-8 weeks. Rhesus monkeys that received the combination of PGT121 and 3BNC117 received a second dose on day 105 after viral levels rebounded. Viral resuppression was observed, although control was not as durable as with the previous administration.
[0413] Shingai et al. described rhesus macaques infected with SHIV AD8EO (Shingai et al., Nature 503:7475 277-280, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Rhesus macaques were then treated with 10-1074 and 3BNC117 mAbs, either alone or in combination. When administered alone at 10 mg / kg 12 weeks after vaccination, both antibodies caused rapid viral suppression, but viral levels rebounded rapidly. Combining the two antibodies in chronically infected animals resulted in a longer period of suppression and increased CD4+ T cell levels, but viral levels subsequently rebounded. In other studies, the two antibodies were pretreated in rhesus macaques alone and found to prevent viral infection. Single genome analysis of the virus that rebounded in 10-074-treated rhesus macaques revealed that a mutation eliminated the gp120 N332 glycan, conferring resistance to the mAb. However, SGA analysis of rebound virus in rhesus macaques treated with 10-074 and 3BNC117 revealed that not all macaques harbored virus that had undergone changes conferring mAb resistance.
[0414] Caskey et al. describe the first human dose escalation phase 1 clinical trial of 3BNC117 (CD4 binding site antibody) (Caskey et al., Nature 522.7557:487-491, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Both uninfected and HIV-1 infected individuals participated in the trial. It has been found that 3BNC117 at doses of 1, 3, 10 or 30 mg / kg is generally safe and well tolerated; no grade 3, 4 or serious adverse events were observed. It was observed that the antibody clearance rate in HIV-1 infected individuals was faster than that in uninfected control subjects. The effect of treatment on viral load was dose-dependent; 10 and 30 mg / kg doses reduced viral load by up to 2.5 log. It was observed that regardless of the mAb dose, some individuals developed viral resistance, but others did not. The virus was cloned and sequenced, and G459D was a mutation commonly observed in the 10 mg / kg group, with other mutations showing a longer V5 loop (other mutations described). Both mutations can alter sensitivity to anti-CD4b.
[0415] Caskey et al. also evaluated 10-074, a highly effective mAb that targets the V3 loop of the HIV-1 envelope spike (Caskey et al., Nature Medicine 23.2:185-191, 2017), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. An open-label, Phase 1, first-in-human clinical trial was conducted with 14 uninfected individuals and 19 HIV-1 infected individuals. A single intravenous infusion was administered at 3, 10, or 30 mg / kg. The mAb was found to be generally safe and well tolerated; no grade 3, 4, or serious adverse events were observed. Antibody clearance was observed to be faster in HIV-1 infected individuals than in uninfected controls. Treatment suppressed viral load in individuals with 10-074 susceptible strains, followed by rebound. Single genome sequencing (SGS) of the rebound viruses revealed that all patients who responded to treatment displayed PNGS at position N332 and an intact 324 G(D / N)IR 327 Four weeks after infusion, 91% of the envelope sequences contained amino acid mutations, 97% of which eliminated the PNGS at position 332 by mutations to N332 or S334. 3% of the mutant sequences were at 324 G(D / N)IR 327 The D / N position 325 in the motif showed a change. Most of the mutations at the nucleic acid level were transitions, consistent with reverse transcriptase errors. Neutralization assays showed that the HIV-1 mutants resistant to 10-074 were not resistant to 3BNC117, VRC01, or PGDM1400 (mAbs targeting other regions of HIV-1). Sequencing and scintigraphy performed one week after infusion revealed that the resistant variants were either pre-existing or rapidly emerged.
[0416] Bar et al. conducted two open-label laboratory trials to investigate the safety, side effect profile, pharmacokinetic properties, and antiviral activity of VRC01, a bNAb targeting the CD4 binding site of HIV, in patients who were interrupting antiretroviral therapy (ART) (Bar et al., New England Journal of Medicine 375.21:2037-2050, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In one trial, 40 mg / kg was infused three times over a 6-week period; in the other trial, 40 mg / kg was infused eight times over a 6-week period. Treatment was well tolerated, with no grade 3 or higher adverse events observed. Neither trial produced a durable suppression of plasma viremia, although a slight increase in rebound time relative to historical controls was found. Regardless of rebound time, in one trial, participants developed an almost universal increase in resistance to VRC01. Viral isolates showed greater resistance to VRC01 neutralization in samples before treatment than after treatment. VRC01 treatment did not affect sensitivity to neutralization by other bNAbs.
[0417] Mendoza et al. conducted a Phase 1b clinical trial evaluating a combination of 3BNC117 and 10-1074, which were infused at a dose of 30 mg / kg at weeks 0, 3, and 6 (Mendoza et al., Nature 561.7724:479-484, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). These two bNAbs target independent sites on the HIV-1 envelope spike. Infusions were generally found to be safe and well tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported. The median rebound time after combined bNAb treatment was significantly prolonged. It has been found that the two earliest rebound individuals had previously carried strains resistant to one or another bNAb. The rebound viruses clustered within low-diversity lineages, consistent with the amplification (escape) of 1-2 recurrent viruses. As compared with the 3BNC117 mutation, most rebound viruses were found to contain 10-1074 mutations. However, combined bNAb therapy has been shown to be more effective than single bNAb treatment in curbing viral escape.
[0418] Gautam et al. infected SHIV AD8EORhesus macaques treated with 3BNC117-LS and 10-074-LS mAbs were analyzed (Gautam, Rajeev et al., Nature Medicine 24.5:610-616, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). M428L and N343S (collectively referred to as LS) are mutations in the mAb fragment domain that increase half-life. The LS mutation had no effect on virus neutralization in in vitro analysis. The LS mAb was administered alone at 20 mg / kg and was well tolerated by all monkeys. The 10-1074-LS receptor showed increased protection against viral infection compared to the 3BNC117-LS receptor, but the LS mutations in both antibodies were more effective than WT. The decay rate of 10-1074-LS in serum was slower than that of 3BNC117-LS. It has been determined that mAb concentration / neutralizing activity can predict the probability of infection. Experiments were performed with only antibody pretreatment followed by viral challenge.
[0419] Schommers et al. characterized an anti-HIV antibody (termed "1-18") in in vitro assays and in HIV-1 infected humanized mice. 1-18 was reported to bind to the CD4 binding site of HIV and to have potent and broad activity against HIV strains. Schommers reported that 1-18 has certain features previously found in other anti-HIV antibodies that appear to contribute to its potency and breadth: (1) 1-18 has an aromatic residue that mimics residue Phe43 of CD4 to target the "Phe43 gp120 pocket," a feature previously reported for the anti-HIV antibody N6; (2) 1-18 contacts the adjacent gp120 protomer, as previously observed in the anti-HIV antibody 3BNC117, but with an increased buried surface area (by inserting six of its residues into CDRH1); and (3) the buried surface area on gp120 is larger than that of other anti-HIV antibodies. Furthermore, 1-18 has been reported to contact conserved residues on HIV gp120 that are not contacted by other anti-HIV antibodies. Schommers hypothesized that these contacts might make 1-18 less reliant on classical CD4 binding site contacts, making viral escape more difficult. Despite this, Schommers observed that a small number of HIV strains were resistant to 1-18.
[0420] Taken together, the above data suggest that administration of antibodies can be effective in treating or preventing HIV. However, the difficulty of targeting such mutable viruses is evident from the above studies as well as studies showing that: (1) when a single broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb) is used for therapy, HIV develops resistance to the therapy within weeks (Bar et al., Effect of HIV Antibody VRC01 on Viral Rebound after Treatment Interruption, N. Engl. J. Med. 375, 2037-2050 (2016); Caskey et al., Viraemia suppressed in HIV-1-infected humans by broadly neutralizing antibody 3BNC117. Nature 522, 487-491 (2015); Caskey et al., Antibody 10-1074 suppresses viremia in HIV-1-infected individuals. Nat. Med. 23, 185-191 (2017); Klein et al., HIV therapy by a combination of broadly neutralizing antibodies in humanized mice, Nature 492, 118-122 (2012); Lynch et al., Virologic effects of broadly neutralizing antibody VRC01 administration during chronic HIV-1 infection, Sci. Transl. Med. 7, 319ra206 (2015); Scheid et al., HIV-1 antibody 3BNC117 suppresses viral rebound in humans during treatment interruption, Nature 535, 556-560 (2016), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety), and (2) certain antibody combinations improve viral control by preventing the early development of resistance (Bar-On et al., Safety and antiviral activity of combination HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies in viremic individuals, Nat. Med.24, 1701-1707 (2018); Klein et al., 2012; Mendoza et al., Combination therapy with anti-HIV-1 antibodies maintains viral suppression, Nature 561, 479-484 (2018), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Viral rebound was observed with some of these antibodies, suggesting that they may be effective only for a limited time, for example, before HIV escape mutations occur.
[0421] Therefore, it is still necessary to avoid viral escape and keep HIV neutralization effective treatment and preventive therapeutic agents.As discussed herein, the present disclosure provides the technology that can be used for administering the polyribonucleotide of encoding one or more antibody agents (for example, anti-HIV antibody agents) to the subject.Use technology and method as described herein to allow, for example, to produce different antibody agents from polyribonucleotide simultaneously.The form of antibody agent has been designed to minimize or eliminate the risk of immunoglobulin chain mispairing.Can combine multiple antibody agent formula as described herein (for example, including 1-18 antibody agent) and allow to develop a kind of composition (for example, pharmaceutical composition), described composition delivers multiple antibody agents together so that they can be in conjunction with the different epitopes of HIV virus, thereby minimize the virus escape caused by mutation and increase overall efficacy.
[0422] II. Polyribonucleotides for delivery of antibody agents
[0423] In addition, the present disclosure utilizes RNA technology as a way to express antibody agents directly in a subject, which is a novel class of antibody-based therapeutic methods. In some embodiments, the polyribonucleotides as described herein encode immunoglobulin chains of the antibody agent.
[0424] In some embodiments, the antibody agent targets HIV. In some embodiments, the antibody agent targeting HIV specifically binds to a particular epitope of an HIV polypeptide. For example, in some embodiments, the antibody agent specifically binds to an epitope that includes the CD4 binding site or a portion thereof. See Figure 2 , from McCoy and Burton, Immunol Rev. 275.1 11-20, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0425] In some embodiments, the antibody agent may have at least about 10 -4 M, at least about 10 -5 M, at least about 10 -6 M, at least about 10 -7 M, at least about 10 -8 M, at least about 10-9 In some embodiments, the HIV antibody agent selectively binds to the target epitope of HIV, such that the binding between the HIV antibody agent and the target epitope is greater than 2 times, greater than 5 times, greater than 10 times, or greater than 100 times compared to the binding of the HIV antibody agent to a non-target epitope. In some embodiments, the HIV antibody agent can have binding affinity for HIV epitopes and variants of the HIV epitope. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that in some cases, binding affinity (e.g., as measured by the dissociation constant) may be affected by non-covalent intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic forces, and van der Waals forces between the two molecules. Alternatively or in addition, the binding affinity between the ligand and its target molecule may be affected by the presence of other molecules.

[0442] A. Conventional antibodies
[0443] In some embodiments, polyribonucleotides as herein described can be used for expressing conventional antibodies. As used herein, "conventional antibodies" refer to antibody agents comprising two heavy chains and two light chains (see, e.g., Figure 5A and Figure 4A ). Each heavy chain includes a heavy chain variable domain operably linked to one or more heavy chain constant domains. In some embodiments, the one or more heavy chain constant domains include a CH1 domain, a hinge domain, a CH2 domain, a CH3 domain, or a combination thereof. In some cases, the one or more heavy chain constant domains include a CH1 domain, a hinge domain, a CH2 domain, a CH3 domain, a CH4 domain, or a combination thereof. Each light chain includes a light chain variable domain operably linked to a light chain constant domain.
[0444] Typically, the heavy chain variable domain and the light chain variable domain can be further subdivided into variable regions, referred to as complementary determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with more conservative regions, referred to as framework regions (FRs). Such heavy chain variable domains and light chain variable domains can each include, for example, three CDRs and four framework regions, arranged in the following order from amino-terminal to carboxyl-terminal: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4, one or more of which can be engineered as described herein. The CDRs in the heavy chain are designated as "HCDR1," "HCDR2," and "HCDR3," respectively, and the CDRs in the light chain are designated as "LCDR1," "LCDR2," and "LCDR3," respectively.
[0445] Conventional antibodies as described herein can comprise any of the five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. In some embodiments, conventional antibodies comprise IgG or IgA antibodies.

[0453] Conventional antibodies encoded by one or more polyribonucleotides as described herein may include one or more heavy chain constant domains, and the heavy chain constant domains include amino acid modifications (e.g., substitutions or deletions) at one or more amino acid positions. For example, conventional antibodies encoded by one or more polyribonucleotides as described herein may include L / S mutations (FcRn combinations for enhanced) in the CH3 region (see Zalevsky J et al. Nat Biotechnol. 2010, which are incorporated herein by reference). Such mutations are labeled as M428L and N434S according to EU numbering, and are referred to herein as "LS" or "L / S" (see e.g., Figure 5C In some embodiments, a conventional antibody encoded by one or more polyribonucleotides as described herein comprises an E294 deletion (for Fc hypersialylation) (see Bas M et al. J Immunol 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0454] The present disclosure also provides techniques that can be used to express antibody agents, e.g., Figure 3As shown or described below: Stadler et al. (2016) Oncoimmunology 5(3):e1091555; and / or Stadler et al. (2017) Nature Medicine 23(7):815-817. There are challenges in producing multiple antibody agents from a single composition (e.g., a composition comprising polyribonucleotides sufficient to encode multiple antibody agents), particularly because random pairing of different antibody heavy chains and light chains can produce unwanted antibody species. Due to the presence of mispaired byproducts and the significant reduction in yield, complex purification procedures are required in these cases to separate the desired antibody agents (see, for example, Morrison, SL, Nature Biotech. 25, 1233-1234, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference). In general, if recombinant expression technology is used, the problem of mispaired byproducts still exists. One method for solving the problem of mispaired byproducts is called "knob-in-hole technology" (KIH), which aims to modify the contact interface by introducing mutations in the CH3 domain, thereby forcing two different antibody heavy chains to pair. On one chain, bulky amino acids are replaced by amino acids with short side chains to form a "hole", and amino acids with large side chains are introduced into the other CH3 domain to form a "knob". By co-expressing these two heavy chains with two light chains, it was observed that the yield of heterodimer formation was higher than that of homodimers (see Ridgway, JB et al., Protein Eng. 9, 617-621, 1996; and WO 96 / 027011, which are incorporated herein by reference). In some embodiments, the antibody agents described herein utilize KIH technology, as described, for example, in WO 1998 / 050431, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. As described herein, the antibody agent may comprise certain mutations utilizing KIH technology, including but not limited to CH3 modifications.
