[0002] FIELD OF THE PRESENT APPLICATION The present application relates to targeted complexes for delivering effective amounts of oligonucleotide molecular payloads to cells and their uses, particularly for the treatment of disease.

[0003] Electronic Sequence Listing Reference The contents of the electronic sequence listing (D082470077WO00-SEQ-COB.xml; size: 56,306 bytes; and creation date: April 7, 2023) are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [Background technology]

[0004] background Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a dominant genetic disease characterized by muscle tone, muscle loss or degeneration, reduced muscle function, insulin resistance, cardiac arrhythmias, smooth muscle dysfunction, and neurological abnormalities. DM is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, with a global incidence of approximately 1 in 8000 people worldwide. Two types of the disease have been described: myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). DM1, the more common form of the disease, results from a repeat expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the 3' noncoding region of DMPK on chromosome 19; DM2 results from a repeat expansion of a CCTG tetranucleotide repeat in the first intron of ZNF9 on chromosome 3. Repeat expansions of CTG trinucleotide repeats in DM1 patients, which may contain more than about 50 to about 3,000 or more total repeats, lead to the generation of toxic RNA repeats that can form hairpin structures that bind with high affinity to essential intracellular proteins (e.g., muscleblind-like protein), resulting in protein sequestration and the loss-of-function phenotype characteristic of the disease. Apart from supportive care and treatments to address the symptoms of the disease, no effective therapeutic for DM1 is currently available. Summary of the Invention

[0061] definition

[0062] Administering: As used herein, the term "administering" or "administration" means providing a conjugate to a subject in a physiologically and / or (for example and) pharmacologically useful manner (for example, to treat a disease in a subject).

[0063] Approximately: As used herein, the term "approximately" or "about" when applied to one or more values ​​of interest, refers to a value similar to a stated reference value. In certain embodiments, the term "approximately" or "about" refers to a broad range of values ​​that fall within plus or minus (greater or less than) 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or less of the stated reference value, unless otherwise stated or clear from the context (except where such number would exceed 100% of a feasible value).

[0064] Antibody: As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to a polypeptide that includes at least one immunoglobulin variable domain or at least one antigenic determinant, e.g., a paratope, that specifically binds to an antigen. In some embodiments, the antibody is a full-length antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody is a chimeric antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody is a humanized antibody. However, in some embodiments, the antibody is a Fab fragment, a Fab' fragment, a F(ab')2 fragment, an Fv fragment, or an scFv fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody is a nanobody derived from a camelid antibody, or a nanobody derived from a shark antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody is a diabody. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a framework with human germline sequences. In another embodiment, the antibody comprises a heavy chain constant region selected from the group consisting of the constant regions of IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG2A, IgG2B, IgG2C, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgM, and IgE. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a heavy (H) chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH) and / or (for example and) a light (L) chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL). In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a constant region, for example an Fc region. An immunoglobulin constant region refers to the constant region of a heavy or light chain. The constant region amino acid sequences of human IgG heavy and light chains and their functional variations are known. With respect to the heavy chain, in some embodiments, the heavy chain of the antibody described herein can be an alpha (α), delta (Δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), or mu (μ) heavy chain. In some embodiments, the heavy chain of the antibody described herein can comprise a human alpha (α), delta (Δ), epsilon (ε), gamma (γ), or mu (μ) heavy chain. In specific embodiments, the antibody described herein comprises a human gamma 1 CH1 domain, CH2 domain, and / or (for example and) CH3 domain. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the VH domain comprises the amino acid sequence of a human gamma (γ) heavy chain constant region, such as any known in the art.In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the VH domain comprises the amino acid sequence of a human gamma (γ) heavy chain constant region, such as any known in the art. Non-limiting examples of human constant region sequences are described in the art, see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,693,780 and Kabat EA et al., (1991), supra. In some embodiments, the VH domain comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or at least 99% identical to any of the variable chain constant regions provided herein. In some embodiments, the antibody is modified, for example, via glycosylation, phosphorylation, sumoylation, and / or (for example, and) methylation. In some embodiments, the antibody is a glycosylated antibody conjugated to one or more sugar or carbohydrate molecules. In some embodiments, one or more sugar or carbohydrate molecules are conjugated to the antibody via N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, C-glycosylation, glypiation (GPI anchor attachment), and / or (by way of example and) phosphoglycosylation. In some embodiments, the one or more sugar or carbohydrate molecules are monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, or glycans. In some embodiments, the one or more sugar or carbohydrate molecules are branched oligosaccharides or branched glycans. In some embodiments, the one or more sugar or carbohydrate molecules include mannose units, glucose units, N-acetylglucosamine units, N-acetylgalactosamine units, galactose units, fucose units, or phospholipid units. In some embodiments, the antibody is a construct comprising a linker polypeptide or a polypeptide comprising one or more antigen-binding fragments of the present disclosure linked to an immunoglobulin constant region. The linker polypeptide comprises two or more amino acid residues linked together by peptide bonds and is used to link one or more antigen-binding moieties.Examples of linker polypeptides have been reported (see, e.g., Holliger, P., et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448; Poljak, RJ, et al. (1994) Structure 2:1121-1123). Still further, an antibody may be part of a larger immunoadhesion molecule formed by covalent or noncovalent association of the antibody or antibody portion with one or more other proteins or peptides. Examples of such immunoadhesion molecules include the use of streptavidin core regions to generate tetrameric scFv molecules (Kipriyanov, SM, et al. (1995) Human Antibodies and Hybridomas 6:93-101), and the use of cysteine ​​residues, marker peptides, and C-terminal polyhistidine tags to generate bivalent and biotinylated scFv molecules (Kipriyanov, SM, et al. (1994) Mol. Immunol. 31:1047-1058).

[0065] CDR: As used herein, the term "CDR" refers to a complementarity determining region within an antibody variable sequence. A typical antibody molecule contains a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), which are mostly involved in antigen binding. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into hypervariable regions, also known as "complementarity determining regions" ("CDRs"), interspersed with more conserved regions known as "framework regions" ("FRs"). Each VH and VL is typically composed of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from amino terminus to carboxy terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The extent of the framework regions and CDRs can be precisely identified using methodologies known in the art, for example, by the Kabat definition, the IMGT definition, the Chothia definition, the AbM definition, and / or (for example) the contact definition, all of which are well known in the art. See, for example, Kabat, EA, et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, US. The extent of framework regions and CDRs can be precisely identified using methodologies known in the art, for example, by the Kabat definition, the IMGT definition, the Chothia definition, the AbM definition, and / or (for example, and) the contact definition, all of which are well known in the art. The extent of framework regions and CDRs can be precisely identified using methodologies known in the art, for example, by the Kabat definition, the IMGT definition, the Chothia definition, the AbM definition, and / or (for example, and) the contact definition, all of which are well known in the art.(1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, US (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, US (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917, Al-lazikani et al (1997) J. Molec. 17: 132-143 (2004). See also hgmp.mrc.ac.uk and bioinf.org.uk / abs. As used herein, CDR may refer to a CDR defined by any method known in the art. Two antibodies with the same CDR means that the two antibodies have the same amino acid sequence of the CDR when determined by the same method, for example, the IMGT definition.

[0066] There are three CDRs in each of the variable regions of heavy and light chains, which are designated as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 for each of the variable regions. The term "CDR set" as used herein refers to a group of three CDRs that occur in a single variable region that can bind to antigen. The exact boundaries of these CDRs are defined differently according to various systems. The system described by Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequence of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987) and (1991)) not only provides an unambiguous residue numbering system applicable to any variable region of an antibody, but also provides precise residue boundaries defining the three CDRs. These CDRs are sometimes referred to as Kabat CDRs. Sub-portions of the CDRs are sometimes designated L1, L2, and L3, or H1, H2, and H3, where "L" and "H" designate the light chain and heavy chain regions, respectively. These regions are sometimes referred to as Chothia CDRs, which have boundaries that overlap with the Kabat CDRs. Other boundaries defining CDRs that overlap with the Kabat CDRs are described by Padlan (FASEB J. 9:133-139 (1995)) and MacCallum (J Mol Biol 262(5):732-45(1996)). Still other CDR boundary definitions may not strictly adhere to one of the above systems, but may still overlap with the Kabat CDRs, and may be shortened or extended in light of predictions or experimental findings that specific residues or groups of residues, or even entire CDRs, do not significantly affect antigen binding. The methods used herein may utilize CDRs defined according to any of these systems. Examples of CDR definition systems are provided in Table 1. [Table 1]

[0067] Complementary: As used herein, the term "complementary" refers to the ability for precise pairing between two nucleotides or two sets of nucleotides. In particular, complementary is a term that characterizes the degree of hydrogen bond pairing that results in binding between two nucleotides or two sets of nucleotides. For example, if a base at a position of an oligonucleotide can hydrogen bond with a base at a corresponding position of a target nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA), then the bases are considered to be complementary to each other at that position. Base pairing may include both canonical Watson-Crick base pairing and non-Watson-Crick base pairing (e.g., Wobble base pairing and Hoogsteen base pairing). For example, in some embodiments, for complementary base pairing, an adenosine-based base (A) is complementary to a thymidine-based base (T) or a uracil-based base (U), a cytosine-based base (C) is complementary to a guanosine-based base (G), and a universal base such as 3-nitropyrrole or 5-nitroindole can hybridize to and is considered complementary to any A, C, U, or T. Inosine (I) is also considered a universal base in the art and is considered complementary to any A, C, U, or T.

[0068] Covalently linked: As used herein, the term "covalently linked" refers to the characteristic of two or more molecules being linked together through at least one covalent bond. In some embodiments, the two molecules may be covalently linked together by a single bond (e.g., a disulfide bond or a disulfide bridge) that acts as an intermolecular linker. However, in some embodiments, the two or more molecules may be covalently linked together through a molecule that acts as a linker that connects the two or more molecules together through multiple covalent bonds. In some embodiments, the linker may be a cleavable linker. However, in some embodiments, the linker may be a non-cleavable linker.

[0069] Disease-associated repeats: As used herein, the term "disease-associated repeats" refers to repeated nucleotide sequences at genomic locations where the number of units of the repeated nucleotide sequence correlates with and / or (by way of example) directly or indirectly contributes to or causes a genetic disease. Each repeat unit of a disease-associated repeat may be 2, 3, 4, 5, or more nucleotides in length. For example, in some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a dinucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a trinucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a tetranucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is a pentanucleotide repeat. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat comprises a CAG repeat, a CTG repeat, a CUG repeat, a CGG repeat, a CCTG repeat, or the nucleotide complement of any thereof. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is in a non-coding portion of a gene. However, in some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is in a coding region of a gene. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeat is extended from a normal state to a length that directly or indirectly contributes to or causes a genetic disease. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are in RNA (e.g., RNA transcripts). In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are in DNA (e.g., chromosomes, plasmids). In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded in a chromosome of a germline cell. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded in a chromosome of a somatic cell. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded to a number of repeat units associated with congenital onset of the disease. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded to a number of repeat units associated with childhood onset of the disease. In some embodiments, the disease-associated repeats are expanded to a number of repeat units associated with adult onset of the disease. In DM1, the DMPK gene comprises a disease-associated repeat of a CTG unit.

[0070] DMPK: As used herein, the term "DMPK" refers to the gene encoding myotonin protein kinase (also known as myotonic dystrophy protein kinase or myotonic dystrophy protein kinase), a serine / threonine protein kinase. Substrates of this enzyme may include myogenin, beta-subunit of L-type calcium channel, and phospholemman. In some embodiments, DMPK may be a human gene (Gene ID:1760), a non-human primate gene (e.g., Gene ID:456139, Gene ID:715328, Gene ID:102125829), or a rodent gene (e.g., Gene ID:13400). In humans, a CTG repeat expansion in the 3' non-coding untranslated region of DMPK is associated with myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1). In addition, multiple human transcript variants (e.g., as annotated under GenBank RefSeq accession numbers: NM_001081563.2, NM_004409.4, NM_001081560.2, NM_001081562.2, NM_001288764.1, NM_001288765.1, and NM_001288766.1) have been characterized that encode various protein isoforms.

[0071] DMPK allele: As used herein, the term "DMPK allele" refers to any one of the alternative forms (e.g., wild-type or mutant forms) of the DMPK gene. In some embodiments, the DMPK allele may encode a wild-type myotonin protein kinase that retains its normal and typical function. In some embodiments, the DMPK allele may contain one or more disease-associated repeat expansions. In some embodiments, a normal subject has two DMPK alleles with repeat units ranging from 5 to 37. In some embodiments, the number of CTG repeat units in subjects with DM1 ranges from about 50 to about 3,000 or more, with higher repeat numbers being associated with increased disease severity. In some embodiments, a mildly affected DM1 subject has at least one DMPK allele with repeat units ranging from 50 to 150. In some embodiments, a subject with classical DM1 has at least one DMPK allele with repeat units ranging from 100 to 1,000 or more. In some embodiments, subjects who have DM1 and are congenitally affected may have at least one DMPK allele that contains more than 2,000 repeat units.

[0072] Framework: As used herein, the term "framework" or "framework sequence" refers to the remaining sequence of the variable region minus the CDRs. Since the exact definition of the CDR sequence can be determined by different systems, the meaning of the framework sequence is subject to correspondingly different interpretations. The six CDRs (CDR-L1, CDR-L2, and CDR-L3 of the light chain, and CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and CDR-H3 of the heavy chain) also divide the framework region on the light chain and the heavy chain into four subregions (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4) on each chain, where CDR1 is located between FR1 and FR2, CDR2 is located between FR2 and FR3, and CDR3 is located between FR3 and FR4. The framework region as referred to by others, without specifying the specific subregion as FR1, FR2, FR3, or FR4, represents the FR(s) combined in the variable region of a naturally occurring single immunoglobulin chain. As used herein, FR refers to one of the four subregions, and FR refers to two or more of the four subregions that contain framework regions. Acceptor sequences for human heavy and light chains are known in the art. In one embodiment, acceptor sequences known in the art may be used in the antibodies disclosed herein.

[0073] Human antibody: The term "human antibody" as used herein is intended to include antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. The human antibodies of the present disclosure may include amino acid residues (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo), e.g., in the CDRs, particularly in CDR3, that are not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences. However, the term "human antibody" as used herein is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, are grafted onto human framework sequences.

[0074] Humanized antibody: The term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody that contains heavy and light chain variable region sequences from a non-human species (e.g., mouse), but in which at least a portion of the VH and / or (e.g., and) VL sequences have been altered to be more "human-like", i.e., more similar to human germline variable sequences. One type of humanized antibody is a CDR-grafted antibody in which human CDR sequences are introduced onto non-human VH and VL sequences, thereby replacing the corresponding non-human CDR sequences. In one embodiment, humanized anti-transferrin receptor antibodies and antigen-binding portions are provided. Such antibodies may be produced by using existing hybridoma technology followed by humanization using in vitro genetic engineering, such as that disclosed in PCT Publication No. WO 2005 / 123126 A2 to Kasaian et al., to obtain a mouse anti-transferrin receptor monoclonal antibody.

[0075] Kabat numbering: The terms "Kabat numbering", "Kabat definition" and "Kabat labeling" are used interchangeably herein. These terms are recognized in the art and refer to a system of numbering amino acid residues that are more variable (i.e., more variable) than other amino acid residues in the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody or its antigen-binding portion (Kabat et al. (1971) Ann. NY Acad, Sci. 190: 382-391 and Kabat, EA, et al. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, USDepartment of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242). For the heavy chain variable region, the hypervariable region extends from amino acid position 31 to 35 for CDR1, from amino acid position 50 to 65 for CDR2, and from amino acid position 95 to 102 for CDR3. For the light chain variable region, the hypervariable region ranges from amino acid positions 24 to 34 for CDR1, from amino acid positions 50 to 56 for CDR2, and from amino acid positions 89 to 97 for CDR3.

[0076] Myotonic dystrophy (DM): As used herein, the term "myotonic dystrophy (DM)" refers to a genetic disease caused by mutations in the DMPK gene or the CNBP (ZNF9) gene, characterized by muscle loss, muscle weakness, and muscle function. Two types of the disease have been described: myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). DM1 is associated with an expansion of a CTG trinucleotide repeat in the 3' non-coding region of DMPK. DM2 is associated with an expansion of a CCTG tetranucleotide repeat in the first intron of ZNF9. In both DM1 and DM2, the nucleotide expansion leads to a toxic RNA repeat that can form a hairpin structure that binds with high affinity to critical intracellular proteins, such as muscleblind-like protein. Myotonic dystrophy, the genetic basis of the disease and associated symptoms are described in the art (see, e.g., Thornton, CA, "Myotonic Dystrophy" Neurol Clin. (2014), 32(3):705-719.; and Konieczny et al. "Myotonic dystrophy: candidate small molecule therapeutics" Drug Discovery Today (2017), 22:11). In some embodiments, the subject is born with a variation of DM1, called congenital myotonic dystrophy. Symptoms of congenital myotonic dystrophy are present from birth and include all muscle weakness, breathing problems, clubfoot, developmental delay, and intellectual disability. DM1 is associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) Entry #160900. DM2 is associated with OMIM Entry #602668.

[0077] Oligonucleotide: As used herein, the term "oligonucleotide" refers to an oligomeric nucleic acid compound up to 200 nucleotides in length. Examples of oligonucleotides include, but are not limited to, RNAi oligonucleotides (e.g., siRNA, shRNA), microRNA, gapmers, mixmers, phosphorodiamidate morpholinos, peptide nucleic acids, aptamers, guide nucleic acids (e.g., Cas9 guide RNA), and the like. Oligonucleotides may be single-stranded or double-stranded. In some embodiments, oligonucleotides may contain one or more modified nucleosides (e.g., 2'-O-methyl sugar modifications, purine modifications, or pyrimidine modifications). In some embodiments, oligonucleotides may contain one or more modified internucleoside linkages. In some embodiments, oligonucleotides may contain one or more phosphorothioate linkages, which may be in the Rp or Sp stereochemical conformation.

[0078] Region of complementarity: As used herein, the term "region of complementarity" refers to a nucleotide sequence (e.g., of an oligonucleotide) that is sufficiently complementary to a cognate nucleotide sequence (e.g., of a target nucleic acid) so that the two nucleotide sequences can anneal to each other under physiological conditions (e.g., in a cell). In some embodiments, the region of complementarity is fully complementary to the cognate nucleotide sequence of the target nucleic acid. However, in some embodiments, the region of complementarity is partially complementary (e.g., at least 80%, 90%, 95%, or 99% complementary) to the cognate nucleotide sequence of the target nucleic acid. In some embodiments, the region of complementarity contains 1, 2, 3, or 4 mismatches compared to the cognate nucleotide sequence of the target nucleic acid.

[0079] Specific Binding: As used herein, the term "specific binding" refers to the ability of a molecule to bind to a binding partner with a degree of affinity or avidity that allows the molecule to be used to distinguish the binding partner from an appropriate control in a binding assay or other binding context. The term "specific binding" with respect to an antibody refers to the ability of an antibody to bind to a specific antigen with a degree of affinity or avidity that allows the antibody to distinguish the specific antigen from other antigens (e.g., to a degree that allows preferential targeting to certain cells (e.g., muscle cells) through binding to the antigen, as described herein) compared to an appropriate reference antigen(s). In some embodiments, an antibody has at least about 10% affinity for binding to a target. -4 M, 10 -5 M, 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M, 10 -10 M, 10 -11 M, 10 -12 M, 10 -13 M or less than this K D In some embodiments, the antibody specifically binds to a transferrin receptor, e.g., an epitope in the apical domain of the transferrin receptor.

[0080] Subject: As used herein, the term "subject" refers to a mammal. In some embodiments, the subject is a non-human animal of the primate order or a rodent. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the subject is a patient, e.g., a human patient having or suspected of having a disease. In some embodiments, the subject is a human patient having or suspected of having a disease resulting from a disease-associated repeat expansion (e.g., said expansion in a DMPK allele).

[0081] Transferrin receptor: As used herein, the term "transferrin receptor" (also known as TFRC, CD71, p90, TFR, or TFR1) refers to an internalizing cell surface receptor that binds transferrin to facilitate iron uptake by endocytosis. In some embodiments, the transferrin receptor may be of human (NCBI Gene ID 7037) origin, non-human primate (e.g., NCBI Gene ID 711568 or NCBI Gene ID 102136007) origin, or rodent (e.g., NCBI Gene ID 22042) origin. In addition, multiple human transcript variants (e.g., as annotated under GenBank RefSeq accession numbers: NP_001121620.1, NP_003225.2, NP_001300894.1, and NP_001300895.1) that encode different isoforms of the receptor have been characterized.

[0082] 2'-modified nucleoside: As used herein, the terms "2'-modified nucleoside" and "2'-modified ribonucleoside" are used interchangeably to refer to a nucleoside having a sugar moiety modified at the 2' position. In some embodiments, the 2'-modified nucleoside is a 2'-4' bicyclic nucleoside, in which the 2' and 4' positions of the sugar are bridged (e.g., via a methylene, ethylene, or (S)-constrained ethyl bridge). In some embodiments, the 2'-modified nucleoside is a non-bicyclic 2'-modified nucleoside, in which the 2' position of the sugar moiety is substituted (e.g., via a methylene, ethylene, or (S)-constrained ethyl bridge). Non-limiting examples of 2'-modified nucleosides include the following: 2'-deoxy, 2'-fluoro (2'-F), 2'-O-methyl (2'-O-Me), 2'-O-methoxyethyl (2'-MOE), 2'-O-aminopropyl (2'-O-AP), 2'-O-dimethylaminoethyl (2'-O-DMAOE), 2'-O-dimethylaminopropyl (2'-O-DMAP), 2'-O-dimethylaminoethyloxyethyl (2'-O-DMAEOE), 2'-ON-methylacetamide (2'-O-NMA), locked nucleic acid (LNA, methylene bridged nucleic acid), ethylene bridged nucleic acid (ENA), and (S)-constrained ethyl bridged nucleic acid (cEt).

[0224] In some embodiments, administration of an effective amount of a composition comprising the complex according to any one of the methods described herein reduces the expression or activity of DMPK (e.g., reduces the level of mutant or wild-type DMPK RNA or reduces the activity of the DMPK gene product) in a subject (e.g., a subject with DM1).

In some embodiments, the control is the level of DMPK expression or activity in the subject prior to administration to the subject of a composition comprising an effective amount of the conjugate.

[0225] In some embodiments, any one of the methods described herein may further comprise the additional step of administering to the subject a composition comprising a complex described herein.

[0226] example Example 1. In vivo tissue distribution of conjugates containing anti-TfR1 Fab conjugated to DMPK-targeted oligonucleotides in a DM1 mouse model A conjugate comprising an anti-TfR1 Fab conjugated to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) was tested in a mouse model expressing both human TfR1 and a human DMPK mutant carrying an expanded CUG repeat. The anti-TfR1 Fab used has the VH / VL sequence provided in Table 2. The Fab was covalently linked (through lysine conjugation) via a linker comprising a valine-citrulline sequence to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide comprising the nucleobase sequence of SEQ ID NO:21. The conjugate has the formula (Id): [ka] wherein +N represents an LNA (2'-4' methylene bridged) ribonucleoside, dN represents a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside, oN represents a 2'-O-methoxyethyl (MOE) modified ribonucleoside, oC represents 5-methyl-2'-MOE-cytidine, +C represents 5-methyl-2'-4'-bicyclic-cytidine (2'-4' methylene bridged), oU represents 5-methyl-2'-MOE-uridine, * represents a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage, and wherein the oligonucleotide comprises a nucleobase sequence of CAGCGCCCACCAGUCA (SEQ ID NO:21), and wherein R 2 is an anti-TfR1 Fab provided in Table 2, and where in each conjugate, n1 is independently an integer from 1 to 3.

[0227] The conjugate was intravenously administered to mice on days 0 and 7 at a dose equivalent to 9.7 mg / kg ASO each time. Tissue exposure of ASO was tested by hybridization ELISA (Burki et al., Nucleic Acid Ther. 2015 Oct;25(5):275-84, incorporated herein by reference), and the levels of ASO in tissues were graphed. Figure 1A, Figure 1B, Figure 1C, and Figure 1D show the amount of ASO in the heart, diaphragm, gastrocnemius, or tibialis anterior muscle, respectively, two weeks after the first injection. These results demonstrate that conjugates containing anti-TfR1 antibodies (for example, anti-TfR1 Fab with the VH and VL sequences provided in Table 2) can deliver oligonucleotides (for example, DMPK-targeted ASO) to various muscle tissues after intravenous administration.

[0228] Example 2. Sustained knockdown of toxic human DMPK in hTfR1 / DMSXL homozygous mice 4 weeks after repeated dosing of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate Conjugates containing anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to DMPK-targeting oligonucleotides (ASOs) as described in Example 1 (labeled as "anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates" in this example) were tested in a mouse model (hTfR1 / DMSXL mice) expressing both human TfR1 and two copies of a mutant human DMPK transgene carrying an expanded CUG repeat. Mice were administered either vehicle control (PBS) or a 10 mg / kg ASO-equivalent dose of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate on days 0 and 7. Mice were sacrificed on day 28 (4 weeks after administration of the first dose of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate) and tissues were collected. RNA was extracted and selected tissue samples were fixed, paraffin-embedded, sectioned, and then subjected to in situ hybridization. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of RNA samples was performed to measure human DMPK and mouse Ppib (peptidyl prolyl isomerase) as an internal control. DMPK expression is shown in Figures 2A-2D as geometric mean + / - standard deviation (n=6-9). Significance was assessed by Student's t-test (****P<0.0001).

[0229] Figure 2A shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates knocked down DMPK expression in the heart by 49% compared to PBS-treated mice. Figure 2B shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates knocked down DMPK expression in the diaphragm by 40% compared to PBS-treated mice. Figure 2C shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates knocked down DMPK expression in the tibialis anterior muscle by 49% compared to PBS-treated mice. Figure 2D shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates knocked down DMPK expression in the gastrocnemius muscle by 44% compared to PBS-treated mice.

[0230] Figures 3A and 3B show that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates reduced DMPK-ForS in the nuclei of myofibers. Figure 3A shows reduced DMPK-ForS by in situ hybridization, and Figure 3B shows quantification of DMPK-ForS in fluorescent microscopy images, demonstrating that the conjugates reduced ForS area by 49%. Data are presented as mean + / - standard deviation (n=7). Significance was assessed by t-test (*P<0.05).

[0231] These results demonstrate that administration of the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate leads to robust and sustained knockdown of human toxic DMPK in cardiac and skeletal muscle.

[0232] Example 3. Correction of splicing defects in hTfR1 / DMSXL homozygous mice by anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates A conjugate as described in Example 2 (labeled in this example as "anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate") containing an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) was tested in a mouse model expressing both human TfR1 and two copies of a mutant human DMPK transgene carrying an expanded CUG repeat ("hTfR1 / DMSXL"). These mice are known to display splicing defects consistent with those observed in patients suffering from DM1 (Huguet, et al. (2012) PLOS Genetics 8(11):e1003043). Mice were administered either a vehicle control ("hTfR1 / DMSXL-PBS") or a 10 mg / kg ASO-equivalent dose of the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate ("hTfR1 / DMSXL-conjugate") on days 0 and 7. Mice expressing only human TfR1 but not mutant human DMPK transgene (hTfR1 mice) and mice treated with PBS ("hTfR1-PBS") were used as additional controls to define the extent of the splicing phenotype in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice and to assess the magnitude of the effect of the conjugate on splicing. Mice were sacrificed on day 28 (4 weeks after administration of the first dose of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate), tissues were collected, and RNA was extracted. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was performed to measure exon inclusion in a set of RNAs known to be misspliced ​​during DM1 progression in humans and mice (Nakamori, et al. (2013) Ann. Neurol. 74(6):862-872; Huguet, et al. (2012) PLOS Genetics 8(11):e1003043).Exon inclusion was calculated as the normalized percent spliced ​​in (PSI) for each splicing RNA marker, and composite splicing indices were calculated using the normalized PSI values ​​from splicing markers in the heart (Figure 4), diaphragm (Figure 5), tibialis anterior (Figure 6), and gastrocnemius (Figure 7). Composite splicing indices were calculated as previously described (Tanner MK, et al. (2021) Nucleic Acids Res. 49: 2240-2254) and are shown as the mean + / - standard deviation.

[0233] 4 shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates corrected splicing in cardiac tissue from hTfR1 / DMSXL mice, as demonstrated by composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values ​​used to generate composite splicing index data showed correction of Mbnl2 exon 6 (E6) and Nfix E7 splicing, but not Ldb3 E11 splicing, in cardiac tissue from hTfR1 / DMSXL mice upon treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates. The composite splicing index data shown in Figure 4 was based on splicing data for Ldb3 E11, Mbnl2 E6, and Nfix E7; Bin1 E11, Dtna E12, Insr E11, and Mbnl2 E5 were not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in cardiac tissue were not altered in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice compared to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0234] 5 shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates corrected splicing in diaphragm tissue of hTfR1 / DMSXL mice, as demonstrated by composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values ​​used to generate composite splicing index data showed correction of splicing of Bin1 E11, Insr E11, Ldb3 E11, and Nfix E7 in diaphragm tissue of hTfR1 / DMSXL mice by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates. The composite splicing index data shown in Figure 7 was based on splicing data for Bin1 E11, Insr E11, Ldb3 E11, and Nfix E7; Dtna E12, Mbnl2 E5, Mbnl2 E6, and Ttn E313 were not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in diaphragm tissue were unchanged in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice compared to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0235] 6 shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates corrected splicing in tibialis anterior muscle tissue of hTfR1 / DMSXL mice, as demonstrated by composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values ​​used to generate composite splicing index data showed correction of Bin1 E11, Ldb3 E11, and Nfix E7 splicing, but not Mbnl2 E6 splicing, in tibialis anterior muscle tissue of hTfR1 / DMSXL mice by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates. The composite splicing index data shown in Figure 6 was based on splicing data for Bin1 E11, Ldb3 E11, Mbnl2 E6, and Nfix E7; Dtna E12, Insr E11, Mbnl2 E5, and Ttn E313 were not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in tibialis anterior muscle tissue were not altered in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice compared to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0236] 7 shows that anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates did not correct splicing in gastrocnemius tissue from hTfR1 / DMSXL mice, as demonstrated by composite splicing index data. The normalized PSI values ​​used to generate composite splicing index data showed correction of splicing of Mbnl2 E6, Nfix E7, and Ttn E313 in gastrocnemius tissue from hTfR1 / DMSXL mice by treatment with anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates. The composite splicing index data shown in Figure 7 was based on splicing data for Mbnl2 E6, Nfix E7, and Ttn E313; Bin1 E11, Dtna E12, Insr E11, Ldb3 E11, and Mbnl2 E5 were not included because their normalized PSI values ​​in gastrocnemius muscle tissue were not altered in hTfR1 / DMSXL mice compared to hTfR1 mice under the experimental conditions tested.

[0237] These results demonstrate that administration of the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate facilitates the correction of the DM1 splicing defect in cardiac and skeletal muscles.

[0238] Example 4. DMPK knockdown in non-human primates and DM1 patient myotubes A conjugate as described in Example 1 (labeled in this example as "anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate") containing an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) was tested in human DM1 patient myotubes (32F cells) and in non-human primate (NHP) myotubes. The DM1 patient myotubes used express both mutant DMPK mRNA containing 380 CUG repeats and wild-type DMPK mRNA. The NHP myotubes used express only wild-type DMPK.

[0239] DM1 patient cells or NHP cells were seeded in 96-well plates in growth medium at a density of 50,000 cells per well and allowed to recover overnight. The next day, growth medium was replaced with low serum differentiation medium and cells were treated with conjugates at concentrations equivalent to 125 nM, 250 nM, or 500 nM ASO. Cells were incubated for 10 days and then cDNA was synthesized using the Cells-to-Ct kit with crude cell lysate as the source of total RNA.

[0240] cDNA was used to assess total DMPK knockdown using Taqman PCR. Data were normalized to PPIB expression and -ΔΔCt The method was used to determine DMPK knockdown relative to PBS-treated controls ("vehicle"). Data shown in Figure 8 are presented as mean DMPK expression + standard deviation (n=4 replicates per condition) relative to species-matched vehicle controls.

[0241] The results show that the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate, when administered at physiologically relevant concentrations (FIG. 8), achieved knockdown of DMPK expression in both normal NHP myotubes and DM1 patient myotubes, with greater knockdown of DMPK expression in DM1 patient cells (expressing both DMPK mRNA containing 380 CUG repeats and wild-type DMPK mRNA) compared to NHP cells (expressing only wild-type DMPK mRNA). At an ASO equivalent concentration of 125 nM, the conjugate achieved approximately 40% DMPK knockdown compared to vehicle-only controls in NHP myotubes and approximately 65% ​​DMPK knockdown in DM1 patient myotubes. At an ASO equivalent concentration of 250 nM, the conjugate achieved approximately 45% DMPK knockdown compared to vehicle-only controls in NHP myotubes and approximately 80% DMPK knockdown in DM1 patient myotubes. The conjugate achieved approximately 60% DMPK knockdown compared to vehicle only controls in NHP myotubes and approximately 90% DMPK knockdown in DM1 patient myotubes at an ASO equivalent concentration of 500 nM.

[0242] These results indicate that conjugates containing an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide can achieve greater knockdown of DMPK in human myotubes expressing both wild-type and mutant DMPK mRNA (with an expanded CUG repeat) compared to cynomolgus monkey myotubes expressing wild-type DMPK.

[0243] Example 5. DMPK knockdown in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice 12 weeks after administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate Conjugates containing anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to DMPK-targeting oligonucleotides (ASOs) as described in Example 1 were tested in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mouse models. Mutant human DMPK expression was monitored in various tissues for 12 weeks after intravenous administration to mice via the tail vein. Mice were administered the conjugates at a 20 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose. Heart, diaphragm, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior tissues were harvested. Mutant human DMPK knockdown was measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) for the expression of DMPK mRNA. DMPK knockdown in treated mice was assayed 1 week (7 days), 2 weeks (14 days), 4 weeks (28 days), 8 weeks (56 days), and 12 weeks (84 days) after administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates.

[0244] Figures 9A, 9B, 9C, and 9D show mutant human DMPK expression in heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius tissues of treated mice, respectively, compared to control (PBS-treated) mice. Maximal knockdown of DMPK was generally achieved 2-4 weeks after treatment, after which DMPK knockdown declined. Expression of mutant human DMPK in the heart remained suppressed for up to 3 months after administration of the conjugate. Data are presented as mean + / - standard deviation (n=5-12 replicates per tissue).

[0245] These data indicate efficacy of the administered anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates for at least 2 weeks after treatment.

[0246] Example 6. DMPK knockdown in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice following administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates Conjugates containing anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to DMPK-targeting oligonucleotides (ASOs) as described in Example 1 were further tested in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mouse models. DMPK expression in various tissues was assessed 4 weeks after treatment with the same dosage of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates administered either in a single dose or in two separate doses. Mice received either a single dose of conjugate equivalent to 10 mg / kg ASO, or two doses of conjugate (each dose equivalent to 5 mg / kg ASO). Mice receiving two 5 mg / kg doses received the doses either 1 week or 2 weeks apart. Mice receiving two 5 mg / kg doses received the doses either 1 week or 2 weeks apart.

[0247] Four weeks (28 days) after administration of the final dose (either a 10 mg / kg dose or a second dose of two 5 mg / kg doses), DMPK knockdown and ASO levels were assessed in various muscle tissues. Figures 10A, 10B, 10C, and 10D show DMPK expression in heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius muscle tissues of treated mice, respectively, compared to control (vehicle-treated) mice. Mice treated with all dosing regimens sustained knockdown of toxic human DMPK for up to 4 weeks. Mice treated with all dosing regimens sustained knockdown of toxic human DMPK for up to 4 weeks. Data are presented as mean + standard deviation (n=6 replicates per tissue). Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA.

[0248] These results indicate that administering anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates to a subject in temporally spaced doses can enhance the efficacy of DMPK knockdown without increasing the total dose of ASO administered to the subject.

[0249] Example 7. DMPK knockdown in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice following administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates Conjugates as described in Example 1 containing an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) were further tested in an hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mouse model administered either in a single dose or in two doses spaced one week apart. Conjugates as described in Example 1 containing an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) were further tested in an hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mouse model administered either in a single dose or in two doses spaced one week apart.

[0250] Figures 11A, 11B, 11C, and 11D show mutant human DMPK expression in heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius tissues of mice treated with either a single 5 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose, a single 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose, or a 20 mg / kg ASO equivalent dose of the conjugate, respectively. DMPK knockdown was assessed 28 days after administration of the conjugate. A dose-dependent trend in toxic human DMPK knockdown was observed, with approximately similar effects at the 10 mg / kg and 20 mg / kg doses tested at the 28 day time point. When measured 28 days after administration of the complex, a 5 mg / kg dose resulted in 30% knockdown in the heart, 26% knockdown in the diaphragm, 39% knockdown in the tibialis anterior muscle, and 19% knockdown in the gastrocnemius muscle; a 10 mg / kg dose resulted in 46% knockdown in the heart, 51% knockdown in the diaphragm, 46% knockdown in the tibialis anterior muscle, and 42% knockdown in the gastrocnemius muscle; and a 20 mg / kg dose resulted in 41% knockdown in the heart, 47% knockdown in the diaphragm, 53% knockdown in the tibialis anterior muscle, and 40% knockdown in the gastrocnemius muscle. Data are presented as mean value + / - standard deviation. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA.

[0251] Figures 12A, 12B, 12C, and 12D show human mutant DMPK expression in heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius tissues of mice treated with two 5 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses (total 10 mg / kg) or two 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses (total 20 mg / kg) of the conjugate, respectively. The two 5 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses and the two 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses were administered one week apart. DMPK knockdown was assessed 28 days after administration of the first dose to the mice (i.e., 21 days after the second dose was administered). A dose-dependent effect on DMPK knockdown was observed in all tissues assayed. When measured 28 days after administration of the first dose of the complex, two 5 mg / kg doses of the complex resulted in 36% knockdown in the heart, 34% knockdown in the diaphragm, 36% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 38% knockdown in the tibialis anterior; two 10 mg / kg doses of the complex resulted in 51% knockdown in the heart, 78% knockdown in the diaphragm, 64% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 57% knockdown in the tibialis anterior. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n=5-6 replicates per tissue). Significance was determined by Brown-Forsythe and Welch ANOVA tests with Dunnett's T3 multiple comparison test.

[0252] The anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate was also tested in hTfR1 / DMSXL hemizygous mice after four monthly doses of the conjugate were administered to the mice. The conjugate was administered as four 5 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses or four 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses of the conjugate, each administered four weeks apart (days 0, 28, 56, and 84, respectively). DMPK knockdown was assessed in various tissues 112 days (16 weeks) after administration of the first dose to the mice. Figures 13A, 13B, 13C, and 13D show human mutant DMPK expression in the heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius tissues, respectively, of mice treated with the conjugate. DMPK knockdown was observed in all tissues tested, with both tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles showing a statistically significant increase in knockdown in mice receiving four 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses compared to mice receiving four 5 mg / kg doses. Four monthly 5 mg / kg doses of the complex resulted in 50% knockdown in the heart, 43% knockdown in the diaphragm, 45% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 47% knockdown in the tibialis anterior muscle, as measured 112 days after administration of the first dose of the complex; and four monthly 10 mg / kg doses of the complex resulted in 48% knockdown in the heart, 51% knockdown in the diaphragm, 64% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, and 59% knockdown in the tibialis anterior muscle. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n=5-6 replicates per tissue). Significance was determined by ANOVA test followed by uncorrected Fisher's least significant difference test.

[0253] These results show the effect of various doses of the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate on the expression of toxic human DMPK and suggest that the efficacy of the conjugate can be enhanced by dividing the dosage of the conjugate.

[0254] Example 8. DMPK knockdown in non-human primates following administration of anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugates Conjugates as described in Example 1 containing an anti-TfR1 Fab covalently linked to a DMPK-targeting oligonucleotide (ASO) were tested in a non-human primate (NHP) model (cynomolgus monkey, Macaca fascicularis) at dosages informed by the mouse studies described in Examples 5 to 7. DMPK expression was assessed in various tissues after treatment with the conjugates, as measured using a quantitative PCR assay (qPCR) for expression of DMPK mRNA.

[0255] 14A and 14B show DMPK expression in gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior tissues of NHPs treated with approximately 10 mg / kg ASO-equivalent dose of the conjugate, measured 4, 8, and 12 weeks after intravenous infusion of the conjugate, respectively. Expression is shown relative to expression in vehicle-only control animals. Expression in animals administered the conjugate was decreased relative to the control group at each time point tested (gastrocnemius relative expression at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-dosing was 0.54, 0.47, and 0.61, respectively; tibialis anterior relative expression at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-dosing was 0.75, 0.48, and 0.72, respectively). Data are presented as mean + / - standard deviation. Significance was determined by unpaired t-test.

[0256] Figures 15A, 15B, 15C, and 15D show DMPK expression in heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius tissues of NHPs treated with either 5 mg / kg or 10 mg / kg ASO-equivalent doses of the conjugate, respectively, compared to control (vehicle-treated) animals. DMPK knockdown was assessed 4 weeks after administration of the conjugate. A dose-dependent effect of the conjugate on DMPK knockdown was observed in cardiac and skeletal muscles. At the time points assayed, a 5 mg / kg dose resulted in 21% knockdown in heart, 43% knockdown in diaphragm, 22% knockdown in gastrocnemius, and 25% knockdown in tibialis anterior; and a 10 mg / kg dose resulted in 38% knockdown in heart, 60% knockdown in diaphragm, 30% knockdown in gastrocnemius, and 35% knockdown in tibialis anterior. These results were consistent with the dosage effect previously observed in the hTfR1 / DMSXL mouse model. Data are presented as mean + / - standard deviation. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post-hoc analysis.

[0257] Figures 16A, 16B, 16C, 16D, 16E, 16F, and 16G show DMPK expression in heart, diaphragm, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, masseter, esophagus, and duodenum tissues of NHPs treated with either two 5 mg / kg or two 10 mg / kg ASO-equivalent doses of the conjugate, the two doses administered 4 weeks (28 days) apart. DMPK knockdown was assessed 8 weeks after administration of the first dose of the conjugate. Monthly administration of the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate led to sustained DMPK knockdown across all tissues assayed. Monthly administration of the 10 mg / kg ASO-equivalent dose led to the greatest and most significant knockdown of WT DMPK in tissues relevant to DM1 pathology. When measured 8 weeks after administration of the first dose, two 5 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses of the complex resulted in 24% knockdown in the heart, 41% knockdown in the diaphragm, 56% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, 45% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, 39% knockdown in the masseter, 21% knockdown in the esophagus, and 28% knockdown in the duodenum; two 10 mg / kg ASO equivalent doses of the complex resulted in 34% knockdown in the heart, 64% knockdown in the diaphragm, 70% knockdown in the gastrocnemius, 65% knockdown in the tibialis anterior, 60% knockdown in the masseter, 49% knockdown in the esophagus, and 67% knockdown in the duodenum. Data are presented as mean + / - standard deviation. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA followed by uncorrected Fisher's least significant difference (LSD) test.

[0258] These results show that the anti-TfR1 Fab-ASO conjugate is efficacious in the NHP model, and further indicate long-term efficacy of the conjugate when administered monthly, consistent with previous results obtained in a mouse model recapitulating the pathogenesis of DM1.
