This submitted Sequence Listing is a part of the present specification and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0003] Field The field of the disclosure relates to methods for stabilizing RNA in compositions comprising beta-hexosaminidase, as well as pharmaceutical combinations and therapies comprising RNA and antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. [Background technology]
[0004] Complement component C5 is a target in several rare diseases, including paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, neuromyelitis optica, and generalized myasthenia gravis. For example, uncontrolled complement activation in patients with PNH leads to the primary clinical manifestation of chronic hemolysis as well as an increased risk of thromboembolism, ultimately leading to target organ damage and death.
[0005] Complement 5 is a validated target in the treatment of complement-mediated diseases such as generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), as evidenced by the approval of eculizumab (Ecu) for the treatment of patients with gMG. Monotherapy with the anti-C5 antibody, pozelimab, has been shown to be effective in blocking C5 activity in another disease (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria [PNH]) that is highly sensitive to complement-mediated effects.
[0006] A significant degree of complement inhibition is required to achieve complete and uninterrupted inhibition of C5 throughout the C5 inhibitor dosing interval, resulting in rapid and significant disease suppression. Current C5 inhibitor monotherapy does not achieve sufficient levels of inhibition.
[0007] C5-targeting therapies for PNH, such as eculizumab and ravulizumab (Soliris and Ultomiris, Alexion Pharmaceuticals), have demonstrated efficacy. However, in rare cases, eculizumab and ravulizumab are ineffective due to polymorphic variations in the gene encoding C5, which prevent eculizumab or ravulizumab from binding to the C5 protein (Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, treatment is laborious because the drugs are generally administered chronically via IV infusion Q2W or Q8W, respectively, to maintain efficacy. Furthermore, it has been reported that as many as 20% of PNH patients receiving eculizumab treatment at the labeled maintenance dose (900 mg Q2W IV) require a significant increase in dose or dosing frequency due to breakthrough hemolysis secondary to incomplete C5 inhibition (Non-Patent Document 2) (Non-Patent Document 3). Regulatory approval of ravulizumab specifies a Q8W IV dosing frequency for the drug, but patients still experience some degree of hemolytic breakthrough (Non-Patent Document 4).
[0008] A regimen of 30 mg / kg IV loading dose followed by 800 mg SC once weekly was effective in reducing serum LDH to <1.5 × ULN in all patients and <1.0 ULN in the majority of patients in a phase 2 study (R3918-PNH-1852) in complement-naive PNH patients. However, this regimen represents a relatively high dose for the biologic agent.
[0009] The requirement for such high anti-C5 mAb doses is driven by the need for 100% inhibition achieved by complete target engagement (Non-Patent Document 2), and C5 levels are high; to achieve 100% inhibition on a population basis, inter- and intra-patient variability in C5 concentrations and instances of enhanced complement activation (which may occur with concomitant illnesses) must be taken into account.
[0010] Semdisiran is a synthetic small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that targets C5 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) covalently linked to a triantennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) ligand. Semdisiran is designed to suppress hepatic production of C5 protein when administered by SC injection. C5 is encoded by a single gene and is primarily expressed and secreted by hepatocytes. Through the ribonucleic acid (RNA) interference pathway, semdisiran induces degradation of C5 mRNA by RNase, thereby reducing C5 protein production and ultimately resulting in reduced circulating C5 protein levels. Semdisiran monotherapy has proven ineffective as a monotherapy treatment for PNH. (Non-Patent Document 5).
[0011] Combining semdisiran with recombinant antibodies as a combined drug that can be conveniently administered by common injection increases the risk of contaminants from the antibody degrading the semdisiran molecule.
[0012] Furthermore, treating patients suffering from conditions such as PNH increases the likelihood that a significant proportion of such patients are either currently receiving or have recently received another anti-C5 antibody and therefore have detectable blood levels of such an antibody. Experiments suggest that antibodies with the sequences of eculizumab and pozeliimab can, together, form high molecular weight heteromeric complexes with C5, and therefore pose a risk of such complex formation in vivo when both antibodies are present in the circulation.

[0015] Previous clinical studies have reported adverse reactions (e.g., serum sickness-like reactions, skin rash) when switching from one C5 mAb to another, specifically, when switching from eculizumab to clovalimab (SKY59 / RO7112689 / RG6107), a therapeutic C5 antibody that binds to a different epitope than eculizumab. These reactions were thought to be due to the formation of DTD immune complexes containing C5 and two C5 antibodies (Non-Patent Document 6; Non-Patent Document 7; Patent Document 1). The size of such immune complexes has been linked to the occurrence of adverse events. For example, in a study in which anti-drug antibody (ADA)-positive patients were injected with infliximab, an antibody with specificity for a target unrelated to the complement system, severe infusion reactions were observed in one patient when immune complexes larger than 1000 kDa (antibodies >6) were detected, but not in two patients when only smaller immune complexes (<1000 kDa) were detected (Non-Patent Document 8). This suggests that larger DTD immune complexes are more likely to be associated with adverse events. Furthermore, based on extrapolation from other autoimmune disease states such as systemic lupus erythematosus, where small immune complexes are inefficient in terms of complement activation and interaction with Fc gamma receptors and are not deposited in tissues (9), small DTD immune complexes are not expected to be clinically significant.
[0016] Reducing the likelihood of such adverse events is difficult. The COMMODORE-1 clinical trial had two arms in which patients were treated with the anti-C5 antibody crovalimab or eculizumab during the 24-week main treatment period. After the main treatment period, patients on eculizumab had the option to switch to crovalimab treatment. Sixteen percent of patients switching from eculizumab to crovalimab experienced type 3 hypersensitivity (T3H) reactions. T3H reactions and infusion-related reactions were related to large DTD complex formation and subcutaneous administration, respectively, which were exclusive to the crovalimab arm and therefore not to the eculizumab arm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0060] Combining two C5 inhibitor therapies with complementary mechanisms of action (pozelimab and semdisirane) offers the advantage of completely suppressing the C5 pathway at (relatively) low C5 expression levels, but various technical challenges must be overcome to arrive at a suitable dosing regimen and delivery vehicle for the drugs.
[0061] The superior C5 inhibition provided by the compositions and methods of the present disclosure results in less pozelimuab required, resulting in reduced SC volume of antibody injections, less frequent dosing, a wider drug administration window for the combination than pozelimuab monotherapy, and potentially fewer injection site reactions. For patients requiring chronic, long-term administration, the combination offers the potential for improved compliance and quality of life compared to pozelimuab monotherapy, while still providing maximal inhibition of C5 activity in a greater percentage of patients than eculizumab therapy. Furthermore, as discussed herein, the dosing regimen of the present disclosure avoids the risk of adverse events caused by the formation of large drug-target-drug complexes (e.g., eculizumab-C5-pozellimab). A combination of both agents also offers the convenience of administering both agents together with only a single subcutaneous injection.
[0062] The present disclosure provides a stable combination comprising an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, such as pozelimab, and a C5 iRNA, such as semdisilane. Combining an antibody expressed from a mammalian host cell with an iRNA conjugated to a ligand bearing terminal N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and / or N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) presents a technical challenge. Beta-hexosaminidase, a rare enzyme from such host cells that often contaminates antibody preparations, has been shown to catalyze the removal of terminal GalNAc residues from such iRNA ligands. The present disclosure provides a stable combination comprising such an antibody and an iRNA molecule that overcomes this problem, for example, by adjusting the pH from 6 (e.g., 6.5), adding GalNAc and / or GlcNAc, and / or adding arginine (e.g., L-arginine, such as L-arginine HCl).
[0063] The administration of anti-C5 antibodies and C5 iRNA in the disclosed methods is designed to rapidly and continuously suppress C5 concentrations to pharmacologically inactive levels. Anti-C5 monotherapy typically requires relatively high doses in PNH patients. The need for such high anti-C5 mAb doses arises from two factors. First, C5 levels are high, necessitating 100% inhibition, which can only be achieved through complete target engagement (Peffault de Latour R et al., Assessing complement blockade in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria receiving eculizumab. Blood 2015;125(5):775-83). Second, to achieve 100% inhibition in a population-based setting, inter- and intra-patient variability in C5 concentrations and instances of enhanced complement activation (which may occur with concomitant illnesses) have been exploited. The combination of pozeliman and semdisirane achieves high complement inhibition with a relatively low antibody dose. Combining pozeliman with semdisirane also offers the advantage of achieving lower complement levels and administering less pozeliman (compared to pozeliman monotherapy), resulting in a reduced SC volume of injection, less frequent dosing, a wider drug administration window than that of pozeliman monotherapy, and potentially less injection site reactions.
[0064] The present disclosure includes a dosing regimen for switching from a previous anti-C5 antibody therapy (e.g., eculizumab or ravulizumab) to a C5 iRNA plus an anti-C5 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment therapy (e.g., pozelimuab + semdisirane) of the present disclosure. Pozelimab has been shown to bind to C5 noncompetitively with an antibody having the amino acid sequence of eculizumab (eculizumab*). Therefore, for example, in patients switching from eculizumab to pozelimuab therapy, heteromeric complexes containing large DTD immune complexes may form. Large DTD immune complexes are known to cause adverse events, such as serum sickness-like reactions and skin rashes. The dosing regimen of the present disclosure is designed to reduce the risk of forming large DTD complexes and the occurrence of such adverse events.
[0065] antigen-binding proteins The term "antibody," as used herein, refers to an immunoglobulin molecule (e.g., IgG) comprising four polypeptide chains, two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC), interconnected by disulfide bonds - e.g., H2M11683N; H2M11686N; H4H12159P; H4H12161P; H4H12163P; H4H12164P; H4H12166P; H4H12166P2; H4H12166P3; H4H12166P4; H4H12166P5; H4H12166P6; H H4H12166P7; H4H12166P8; H4H12166P9; H4H12166P10; H4H12167P; H4H12168P; H4H12169P; H4H12170P; H4H12171P; H4H12175P; H4H12176P2; H4H12177P2; H4H12183P2; H2M11682N; H2M11684N; H2M11694N; H2M11695N; crovalimab; eculizumab, tesidormab, muvozina or ravulizumab; preferably pozelimab. In embodiments of the present disclosure, each antibody heavy chain (HC) comprises a heavy chain variable region ("HCVR" or "VHCVR").

H and V L The regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more highly conserved, termed framework regions (FRs). H and V L comprises three CDRs and four FRs. Preferably, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof in the combination of the present disclosure is expressed and isolated from a mammalian host cell, such as a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell.
[0066] The antibodies referred to herein include, for example, monoclonal, recombinant, chimeric, human and / or humanized antibodies.
[0067] In embodiments of the present disclosure, the assignment of amino acids to each framework or CDR domain follows the definitions in Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Kabat et al.; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.; 5th ed.; NIH Publ. No. 91-3242 (1991); Kabat (1978) Adv. Prot. Chem. 32:1-75; Kabat et al. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252:6609-6616; Chothia et al. (1987) J Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 or Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883. Thus, the present disclosure provides a method for identifying and characterizing the V H CDR and V L and the CDRs of the V H and V L comprises the amino acid sequence shown herein (or a variant thereof), whose CDRs are defined according to Kabat and / or Chothia.
[0068] In embodiments of the disclosure, the anti-C5 antigen-binding protein, e.g., antibody or antigen-binding fragment, comprises a heavy chain constant domain, e.g., of the IgA (e.g., IgA1 or IgA2), IgD, IgE, IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 (e.g., containing S228P and / or S108P mutations)), or IgM type. In embodiments of the disclosure, the antigen-binding protein, e.g., antibody or antigen-binding fragment, comprises a light chain constant domain, e.g., of the kappa or lambda type. The present disclosure provides antigen binding proteins comprising the variable domains set forth herein (e.g., H2M11683N; H2M11686N; H4H12159P; H4H12161P; H4H12163P; H4H12164P; H4H12166P; H4H12166P2; H4H12166P3; H4H12166P4; H4H12166P5; H4H12166P6; H4H12166P7; H4H 12166P8; H4H12166P9; H4H12166P10; H4H12167P; H4H12168P; H4H12169P; H4H12170P; H4H12171P; H4H12175P; H4H12176P2; H4H12177P2; H4H12183P2; H2M11682N; H2M11684N; H2M11694N; H2M11695N; crovalimab; eculizumab, tesidolumab, muvozina or ravulizumab; preferably pozelimab).
[0069] "Isolated" antigen binding proteins (e.g., antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof), polypeptides, polynucleotides, and vectors are at least partially free of other biomolecules from the cell or cell culture in which they are produced. Such biomolecules include nucleic acids, proteins, other antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, lipids, carbohydrates, or other materials, such as cell debris and growth medium. Isolated antigen binding proteins may further be at least partially free of expression system components, such as biomolecules from the host cell or its growth medium. In general, the term "isolated" is not intended to refer to the complete absence of such biomolecules (e.g., small or insignificant amounts of impurities may remain), nor is it intended to refer to the absence of water, buffers, or salts, nor is it intended to refer to components of pharmaceutical formulations that include the antigen binding protein (e.g., antibody or antigen-binding fragment).
[0070] In embodiments of the present disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to complement factor 5 (C5) protein interacts with one or more amino acids contained within NMATGMDSW (SEQ ID NO: 353) (or at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 amino acids therein); or one or more amino acids contained within WEVHLVPRRKQLQFALPDSL (SEQ ID NO: 354) (or at least 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 amino acids therein), as determined by hydrogen / deuterium exchange. In embodiments of the present disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to complement factor 5 (C5) protein interacts with one or more amino acids contained within the alpha chain and / or beta chain of C5, as determined by hydrogen / deuterium exchange. For example, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment does not interact with amino acids in the C5a anaphylatoxin region of C5, as determined by hydrogen / deuterium exchange. In embodiments of the present disclosure, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to complement factor 5 (C5) protein interacts with one or more amino acids contained within the alpha chain and / or beta chain of C5, as determined by hydrogen / deuterium exchange.

[0143] Semdisilane is a chemically synthesized double-stranded oligonucleotide glycoconjugate covalently linked to a ligand containing three GalNAc residues to facilitate targeted delivery to the liver (see, for example, Figure 1). All nucleosides are modified with 2'-deoxy, 2'-methoxy, or 2'-fluoro groups and are connected by 3'→5' phosphodiester linkages, resulting in the sugar-phosphate backbone of the oligonucleotide.
[0144] The sense strand (A-125167) contains 21 nucleotides, and the antisense strand (A-125647) contains 25. The 3'-end of the sense strand is conjugated by a phosphodiester linkage to a triantennary GalNAc moiety (designated L96).
[0145] The antisense strand (A-125647) contains four phosphorothioate linkages (two consecutive phosphorothioate linkages at the 3' end and two at the 5' end). The sense strand (A-125167) contains two phosphorothioate linkages at the 5' end. 21 nucleotides of the sense strand hybridize with complementary 21 nucleotides of the antisense strand, resulting in a 21-nucleotide base-pair duplex with a four-base overhang at the 3' end of the antisense strand. The bases involved in base pairing are connected by bullets. The semdisilane is preferably in salt form, e.g., Na + Although the present disclosure is directed to other salt forms, e.g., Ca 2+ Embodiments include semdisilanes in free acid form as well as salt forms.
[0146] When the concentration of RNAi in a composition such as a combination drug of the present disclosure is expressed herein as mass per volume (e.g., mg / ml), the RNAi is in salt form or free acid form. Preferably, when referring to semdisilane itself, semdisilane is in salt form, preferably Na + It is in salt form. +Counterions are present due to the net negative charge of the ribonucleotide phosphate backbone. The amount of semdisilane free acid form is determined by the amount of semdisilane Na + It can be obtained by multiplying the concentration of the salt form by 0.9443.

[0148] L96 is [ka] is.
[0149] The C5 iRNA that can be included in the combination of the present disclosure is about 30 nucleotides in length or less, for example, at least 15, 15-30, 15-29, 15-28, 15-27, 15-26, 15-25, 15-24, 15-23, 15-22, 15-21, 15-20, 15-19, 15-18, 15-17, 18-30, 18-29, 18-28, 18-27, 18-26, 18-25, 18-24, 18-23, 18-22, 18-21, 18-20, 19-30, 19-29, 19-28, 19-27, 19-26, 19-25, The RNA strand (e.g., the antisense strand) comprises a region that is 19-24, 19-23, 19-22, 19-21, 19-20, 20-30, 20-29, 20-28, 20-27, 20-26, 20-25, 20-24, 20-23, 20-22, 20-21, 21-30, 21-29, 21-28, 21-27, 21-26, 21-25, 21-24, 21-23, or 21-22 nucleotides, which region is substantially complementary to at least a portion of an mRNA transcript of the C5 gene.
[0150] In embodiments of the present disclosure, C5 iRNA is a glycoconjugate comprising a double-stranded RNA complementary to a region of C5 conjugated (e.g., by a linker) to a terminal mono-, di-, or tri-antennary N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) group, preferably a tri-antennary N-acetylgalactosamine.
[0151] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an iRNA agent that can be included in the combination of the present disclosure comprises a single-stranded RNA that interacts with a target RNA sequence, such as a C5 target mRNA sequence, to direct cleavage of the target RNA. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that long double-stranded RNA introduced into cells is degraded into siRNAs by a type III endonuclease known as Dicer (Sharp et al. (2001) Genes Dev. 15:485). Dicer, a ribonuclease-III-like enzyme, processes dsRNA into 19-23 base pair small interfering RNAs with characteristic two-base 3' overhangs (Bernstein et al. (2001) Nature 409:363). The siRNA is then incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), where one or more helicases unwind the siRNA duplex, allowing the complementary antisense strand to guide target recognition (Nykanen et al. (2001) Cell 107:309). Upon binding to the appropriate target mRNA, one or more endonucleases within RISC cleave the target, inducing silencing (Elbashir et al., (2001) Genes Dev. 15:188). Thus, in one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a single-stranded RNA (siRNA) generated within a cell, which promotes the formation of a RISC complex to silence a target gene, i.e., the C5 gene. Thus, the term "siRNA" is also used herein to refer to the iRNA described above.
[0152] In another embodiment, the iRNA agent that can be included in the combination of the present disclosure can be a single-stranded siRNA introduced into a cell or organism to inhibit target mRNA. The single-stranded iRNA agent binds to the RISC endonuclease Argonaute 2, which then cleaves the target mRNA. Single-stranded siRNAs are generally 15-30 nucleotides long and chemically modified. The design and testing of single-stranded siRNAs is described in U.S. Patent No. 8,101,348 and Lima et al. (2012) Cell 150:883-894, the entire contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Any of the antisense nucleotide sequences described herein can be used as single-stranded siRNAs as described herein, or chemically modified by the methods described in Lima et al. (2012) Cell 150:883-894.
[0153] In another embodiment, the iRNA for use in the compositions, uses, and methods of the present disclosure is double-stranded RNA, and is referred to herein as a "double-stranded iRNA agent," "double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecule," "dsRNA agent," or "dsRNA." The term "dsRNA" refers to a complex of ribonucleic acid molecules having a duplex structure containing two antiparallel, substantially complementary nucleic acid strands, referred to as having "sense" and "antisense" orientations relative to the target RNA, i.e., the C5 gene. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces degradation of the target RNA, e.g., mRNA, by a post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism called RNA interference or iRNA.
[0154] In an embodiment of the invention, the iRNA is a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA), wherein the dsRNA comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand, and the sense strand has the nucleotide sequence of C5 (open reading frame underlined):
[0155] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] (SEQ ID NO: 360), and the antisense strand comprises the nucleotide sequence:
[0156] [ka] [ka] [ka] (SEQ ID NO: 361) that differs by no more than 3 nucleotides (e.g., at least 15 contiguous nucleotides).
[0157] In embodiments of the disclosure, the C5 iRNA (e.g., dsRNA) has the structure: [ka] wherein the sequence formula is: X is 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro, X is 2'-O-methyl; Z is thymidine,
[0158] -teeth, [ka] and = is [ka] and R1- is [ka] and R- is [ka] is.
[0159] See International Nonproprietary Names for Pharmaceutical Substances (INN) (Proposed INN: List 114), WHO Drug Information, Volume 29, Issue 4, 2015.
[0160] The present disclosure includes an iRNA that can be included in a combination agent of the present disclosure, the iRNA being a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) agent (e.g., having a complementary region of 19-23 nucleotides in length and / or having a strand length of at most 30 nucleotides) for inhibiting expression of complement component C5, wherein the dsRNA agent comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand, the antisense strand comprising a complementary region comprising at least 17 contiguous nucleotides that differ by at most 3 nucleotides from the nucleotide sequence 5'-UAUUAUAAAAAUAUCUUGCUUUU-3' (SEQ ID NO: 364), and one or more of the dsRNA nucleotides are modified. The dsRNA agent can include at least one modified nucleotide, e.g., having a 2'-deoxy, 2'-methoxy, and / or 2'-fluoro group; for example, substantially all of the nucleotides in the sense and antisense strands are modified nucleotides. Additionally, the sense strand may be conjugated to a ligand attached to the 3' end, for example, terminally modified with a triantennary GalNAc moiety.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, prior to receiving the combination therapy discussed herein, 400 mg anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment SC about every 2, 3, or 4 weeks and about 400 mg C5 iRNA SC about every 4 weeks, the subject has completed a dosing regimen conforming to the following: (i) intravenously (IV) one or more doses of about 30 mg / kg of the antigen binding protein; then (ii) one or more doses of about 800 mg of pozelimab subcutaneously (SC) (e.g., once weekly) [sometimes referred to as the maintenance phase]; e.g., if the subject has PNH; or (a) intravenously (IV) one or more doses, preferably only one dose, of about 30 mg / kg of pozelimab; then (b) one or more doses of 10 mg / kg pozelimab subcutaneously (SC) (e.g., once weekly) [sometimes called the maintenance phase]; For example, if the subject suffers from CHAPLE; or (a) intravenously (IV) one or more doses, preferably only one dose, of about 30 mg / kg of pozelimab; then (b) Subcutaneously (SC), one or more doses of pozelimab (e.g., once weekly) according to the following: - Body weight (BW) < approx. 10 kg: approx. 125 mg; - BW ≥ 10 kg and < approx. 20 kg: approx. 200 mg; - BW ≥ 20 kg and < approx. 40 kg: approx. 350 mg; - BW ≥ 40 kg and < approximately 60 kg: approximately 500 mg; and - For BW ≥ 60 kg: approximately 800 mg; [Sometimes called the maintenance phase] For example, if the subject suffers from CHAPLE; The subject may complete one or more of these doses and transition to combination therapy at any time (e.g., from the maintenance phase). In embodiments of the present disclosure, the subject may begin receiving the combination of anti-C5 and C5 iRNA on the day the next dose of pozeliman monotherapy is scheduled to be administered, and discontinue monotherapy at that time. For example, the subject may: (i) one or more doses of approximately 800 mg of subcutaneously (SC) pozelimab; (ii) one or more doses of about 30 mg / kg intravenously (IV) pozelimab; (iii) one or more doses of approximately 125 mg of subcutaneously (SC) pozelimab; (iv) one or more doses of approximately 200 mg of subcutaneously (SC) pozelimab; (v) one or more doses of approximately 350 mg of subcutaneously (SC) pozelimab; (vi) one or more doses of about 500 mg of subcutaneously (SC) pozeli- mab; (vii) one or more doses of approximately 800 mg of subcutaneously (SC) pozelimab; (viii) one or more doses of 10 mg / kg subcutaneously (SC) pozelimab and then transition from pozeliman monotherapy and receive the first dose of the combination, e.g., receive the first dose of the combination on the day that the dose labeled in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), or (viii) would have been scheduled or about 1 week after receiving the last dose of pozeliman monotherapy.
[0223] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the subcutaneous pozelimab monotherapy dose is about: Pozelimab 161-274 mg / ml or more, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, including a buffer; L-arginine; water; and optionally an oligosaccharide (e.g., sucrose, mannitol, dextrose, glycerin, TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide), trehalose, ethylene glycol, glycine betaine, xylitol, or sorbitol); and optionally a non-ionic surfactant (e.g., polysorbate-20, polysorbate-80). and a pH of up to about 5.8, 6.1, or 5.5-6.1; and a viscosity of about 6.8, about 9.6, about 11.9, about 13.2, about 16.7, about 20.6, about 33.0, about 48.4, about 13.2-16.7, or about 6.8-48.4 at 20° C. An intravenous dose of pozeliman monotherapy can be administered after incorporating the formulation into an aqueous intravenous solution (e.g., 0.9% saline).
[0224] Complement inhibitor naive Naive or complement inhibitor-naive patients have not received complement inhibitor therapy (e.g., eculizumab, ravulizumab, pozelimab) in the past or recently (e.g., within the last 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 months or at least about 4 or 5 half-lives of the last complement inhibitor they received).
[0225] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a complement inhibitor naive subject is administered a C5-associated disease or disorder or condition (preferably PNH) with: Day 1: Pozelimab 30 mg / kg intravenously (IV) in a single loading dose and (e.g., optionally followed by a delay of at least about 30 minutes) 400 mg subcutaneously (SC) with semdisirane 200 mg SC (combined maintenance dose); Starting on day 29 or approximately 4 weeks later: Pozelimab 400 mg SC every 4 weeks (q4W) and semdisiran 200 mg SC q4W (e.g., semdisiran / pozelimab combination). The subject is treated by a method comprising administering
[0226] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a complement inhibitor naive subject is administered a C5-associated disease or disorder or condition (preferably PNH) with: (i) on day 1, a single loading dose of about 30 mg / kg intravenously (IV) of an anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment, preferably pozelimab, followed by about 400 mg subcutaneously (SC) of an anti-C5 antibody or fragment and about 200 mg SC of a C5 iRNA, preferably semdisiran; and (ii) beginning on about day 29, about a 400 mg SC dose of anti-C5 antibody or fragment Q4W and about a 200 mg SC dose of C5 iRNA Q4W The subject is treated by a method comprising administering
[0227] During the transition from eculizumab or ravulizumab to a therapy including an anti-C5 Ab (e.g., pozelimulab) and a C5 iRNA (e.g., semdisiran), an additional dose of pozelimulab (e.g., a dose of 30 or 60 mg / kg IV) may be administered in situations such as when an adverse event (AE) potentially due to large drug-target-drug (DTD) immune complexes is possible or suspected to have occurred and / or when systemic corticosteroids are administered for a Type III hypersensitivity reaction. This additional dose will establish a state of circulating pozelimulab excess, thereby minimizing the risk of further immune complex formation.
[0228] Switching from eculizumab therapy For example, a dosing regimen for a subject who has previously received eculizumab, such as that described above, may be referred to herein as an "eculizumab switch" regimen. Preferably, the subject is undergoing treatment for a disease or disorder or condition associated with C5, such as PNH.
[0229] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the eculizumab switching regimen has the following induction loading phase and switching phase:
[0230] introduction Initially, subjects will continue to receive eculizumab background treatment at their usual dose / usual frequency, and semdisirane alone will be introduced as follows: On Day 1 (the day of scheduled eculizumab administration for subjects, preferably those receiving a q2w eculizumab maintenance regimen): semdisiran 200 mg SC and eculizumab ≥ 900 mg IV (subject's usual dose). Note: If semdisiran is not administered on Day 1, eculizumab can be administered up to 2 days after semdisiran; On day 15 (± 2 days), for subjects receiving eculizumab q14 days (labeled dose regimen): labeled eculizumab dose [for subjects receiving eculizumab more frequently than q14 days: dose patients within 2 days of their usually scheduled dose]; switching On day 29 (or week 4, counting from day 1, or approximately 2 weeks later, or when the next eculizumab dose is scheduled, or approximately 1 to 2 half-lives of eculizumab): pozelimuab 60 mg / kg IV loading dose and (e.g., followed, optionally with a delay of at least about 30 minutes) pozelimuab 400 mg SC and semdisiran 200 mg SC (e.g., in a semdisiran / pozelimab combination); and Starting on day 57 (or day 8; or approximately 4 weeks later): Pozelimab 400 mg SC and semdisirane 200 mg SC q4W maintenance regimen (± 7 days) (e.g., with semdisirane / pozelimab combination) [sometimes called the maintenance phase].
[0231] In embodiments of the invention, the eculizumab half-life (e.g., in a subject with PNH) is about 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or 21 days, e.g., about 11 days (Wijnsma et al., Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Eculizumab, and Possibilities for an Individualized Approach to Eculizumab.

Ther Clin Risk Manag. 2016 Aug 1;12:1161-70).
[0232] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the dosing regimen includes: (i) the first dose of eculizumab intravenously (on day 1; e.g., on the day the next dose of eculizumab is scheduled or within 2 days before) (at the subject's usual dose, e.g., ≥ approximately 900 mg) and approximately 200 mg of C5 iRNA subcutaneously; (ii) a second dose of eculizumab (at the subject's usual dose, e.g., ≥ about 900 mg) until approximately 14 days (± 2 days) later; (iii) on about day 29 (week 4): intravenously (IV) anti-C5 Ab at a dose of about 60 mg / kg, followed by subcutaneous anti-C5 Ab at a dose of about 400 mg and subcutaneous C5 iRNA at a dose of about 200 mg; and (iv) From day 57 (week 8) onwards, anti-C5 Ab at a dose of about 400 mg subcutaneously approximately every 4 weeks (± 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 days) and C5 iRNA at a dose of about 200 mg subcutaneously approximately every 4 weeks (± 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 days).
[0233] The prescribed dosing regimen for treatment of PNH with eculizumab (e.g., for subjects aged 18 years and older) is as follows: 600 mg once a week for the first 4 weeks, followed by 900 mg for the fifth dose one week later, then · 900mg every 2 weeks thereafter.
[0234] The prescribed dosing regimen for the treatment of aHUS with eculizumab is as follows: 900 mg once a week for the first 4 weeks, followed by 1200 mg for the fifth dose one week later, then · 1200mg every 2 weeks thereafter.
[0235] The prescribed dosing regimen for eculizumab for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis or neuromyelitis optica is as follows: 900 mg once a week for the first 4 weeks, followed by 1200 mg for the fifth dose one week later, then · 1200mg every 2 weeks thereafter. See Soliris® prescribing information. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the subject has previously received at least 12 weeks of eculizumab treatment.
[0236] In an embodiment of the disclosure, eculizumab is administered to a subject at a dose obtained from a pharmaceutical formulation comprising 300 mg of eculizumab, polysorbate 80 (6.6 mg) (vegetable source), sodium chloride (263.1 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic (53.4 mg), sodium phosphate monobasic (13.8 mg), and water for injection, USP, at a pH of 7 and in a volume of 30 mL. See Soliris® prescribing information.
[0237] Switching from ravulizumab therapy A dosing regimen for a subject who has previously received ravulizumab, such as those described above, may be referred to herein as a "ravulizumab switch" regimen. Preferably, the subject is undergoing treatment for a disease, disorder, or condition associated with C5, such as PNH.
[0238] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the ravulizumab switching regimen is as follows: Day 1 (4 weeks after the last dose of ravulizumab, preferably if the subject is receiving a q8w ravulizumab maintenance regimen): semdisiran 200 mg SC; On day 29 or 4 weeks later or 8 weeks after the last dose of ravulizumab or 1 to 2 half-lives of ravulizumab: pozelimuab 30 mg / kg or 60 mg / kg single IV loading dose and (e.g., followed, optionally with a delay of at least about 30 minutes) pozelimuab 400 mg SC and semdisirane 200 mg SC (e.g., in a semdisirane / pozelimab combination); and Starting on day 57 or 4 weeks later or 1–2 half-lives after ULTOMIRIS: Start a maintenance regimen of pozelimab 400 mg SC q4W and semdisirane 200 mg SC (e.g., semdisirane / pozelimab combination) q4W.
[0239] In embodiments of the invention, the half-life of ravulizumab (e.g., in subjects with PNH) is about 32 days (Stern et al., Ravulizumab: a novel C5 inhibitor for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Ther Adv Hematol. 2019 Sep 10;10:2040620719874728; Lee et al., Ravulizumab (ALXN1210) vs eculizumab in adult patients with PNH naive to complement inhibitors: the 301 study. Blood. 2019 Feb 7;133(6):530-539; Lee et al., Immediate, complete, and sustained inhibition of C5 with ALXN1210 reduces complement-mediated hemolysis in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH): interim analysis of a dose-escalation study). study[abstract].Blood.2016;128(22).Abstract 2428).
[0240] In embodiments of the present disclosure, a subject is treated for a C5-associated disease or disorder or condition (preferably PNH), and the subject previously received ravulizumab (e.g., according to a prescribed dosing regimen) and is switching to a treatment regimen with a different anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment (anti-C5 Ab), preferably pozelimab, and a C5 iRNA (C5 iRNA), preferably semdisirane, and is administered: (i) Day 1 (e.g., 4 weeks (± 7 days) or 26 days (± 7 days) or 27 days (± 7 days) or 28 days (± 7 days) after the last dose of ravulizumab), C5 iRNA 200 mg SC; (ii) On about day 29, a single IV loading dose of anti-C5 Ab at 30 mg / kg or 60 mg / kg. This IV loading dose may be followed by a 30-minute observation period. The IV dose is followed by an additional loading dose of anti-C5 Ab 400 mg SC and C5 iRNA 200 mg SC; (iii) On about day 57, a maintenance regimen of anti-C5 Ab 400 mg SC and C5 iRNA 200 mg SC may be initiated and followed; (iv) Approximately every 4 weeks thereafter, administer 400 mg SC of anti-C5 Ab and 200 mg SC of C5 iRNA.
[0241] The ULTOMIRIS loading dose on Day 1 may depend on the patient's weight (≥40 kg to <60 kg, 2400 mg IV; ≥60 kg to <100 kg, 2700 mg IV; ≥100 kg, 3000 mg IV). The initial maintenance dose, administered 2 weeks after the loading dose, is as follows: (≥40 kg to <60 kg, 3000 mg IV; ≥60 kg to <100 kg, 3300 mg IV; ≥100 kg, 3600 mg IV). Thereafter, maintenance doses should be administered IV Q8W (±7 days).
[0242] The subcutaneous maintenance dose of ULTOMIRIS is 490 mg once weekly for adult patients weighing 40 kg or more, e.g., for adult patients with PNH or aHUS. The subcutaneous dosing schedule may vary by ±1 day on the scheduled dose, but subsequent doses should be administered according to the original schedule.
[0243] The prescribed dosing regimen for the treatment of PNH with ULTOMIRIS is as follows: · For patients weighing less than 5 to 10 kg, a loading dose of 600 mg and a maintenance dose of 300 mg every 4 weeks; · For patients weighing 10 to less than 20 kg, a loading dose of 600 mg and a maintenance dose of 600 mg every 4 weeks; · For patients weighing less than 20 to 30 kg, a loading dose of 900 mg and a maintenance dose of 2,100 mg every 8 weeks; · For patients weighing less than 30-40 kg, a loading dose of 1,200 mg and a maintenance dose of 2,700 mg every 8 weeks; · For patients weighing 40 to less than 60 kg, a loading dose of 2,400 mg and a maintenance dose of 3,000 mg every 8 weeks; For patients weighing 60 to less than 100 kg, a loading dose of 2,700 mg and a maintenance dose of 3,300 mg every 8 weeks; and For patients weighing 100 kg or more, a loading dose of 3,000 mg and a maintenance dose of 3,600 mg every 8 weeks. See Ultomiris® prescribing information.
[0244] The subcutaneous ravulizumab maintenance dose can be 490 mg once weekly for adult PNH patients weighing 40 kg or more. Patients not currently receiving ravulizumab or eculizumab treatment who weigh ≥ 40 kg at the time of treatment initiation can begin a subcutaneous dose of ravulizumab approximately two weeks after the intravenous ravulizumab loading dose. Patients currently being treated with eculizumab who weigh ≥ 40 kg at the time of their next scheduled eculizumab dose can begin a subcutaneous dose of ravulizumab approximately two weeks after the intravenous ravulizumab loading dose. Patients currently being treated with intravenous (IV) ravulizumab can begin a subcutaneous dose of ravulizumab approximately eight weeks after the final intravenous ravulizumab maintenance dose. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the subject has previously received at least 24 weeks of ravulizumab treatment.
[0245] [Table 4]
[0246] As discussed, the subject may have previously received pozelimuab monotherapy, e.g., subcutaneously (SC) at a dosage of about 800 mg every 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks (which may have been preceded by a loading dose of pozelimuab, e.g., intravenously), or ravulizumab or eculizumab, e.g., according to a prescribed dosing regimen. Patients who have previously received pozelimuab monotherapy, ravulizumab, or eculizumab may be in any phase of the prescribed antibody dosing regimen before switching to the combination therapy of the present disclosure. For example, the subject may have received one or more loading doses and / or one or more maintenance doses of eculizumab. In an embodiment of the invention, when a subject is switching from eculizumab or ravulizumab or another anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, the subject receives an intravenous loading dose of pozelimuab (e.g., 30 mg / kg or 60 mg / kg) and / or a single SC dose of semdisirane (e.g., 200 mg) before or on the same day as starting treatment with a monthly regimen of pozelimuab 400 mg and semdisirane 200 mg. The transition period reduces the risk of formation of large DTD (drug-target-drug) immune complexes of eculizumab-C5-pozelimab during switch from eculizumab to the pozelimuab + semdisirane combination, or of ravulizumab-C5-pozelimab during switch from ravulizumab.
[0247] Pozelimab binds to C5 noncompetitively with eculizumab and therefore has the potential to form heteromeric complexes, including large DTD immune complexes. In vitro, neither pozelimuab nor eculizumab individually form higher-order multimers with C5 larger than a 1:2 mAb:C5 complex. Pozelimab was added to preformed in-house eculizumab:C5 complexes under conditions of an excess of pozelimuab relative to C5 (5:1:1 pozelimuab:in-house eculizumab:C5) and equimolar amounts of total mAb (1:1:2 pozelimuab:in-house eculizumab:C5). Under the pozelimuab excess condition, the majority of the sample (approximately 86%) contained free antibody and either trimeric or pentameric complexes (2:1 or 3:2 mAb:C5 molar ratios, respectively), with the remainder containing large HMW complexes. At equimolar ratios of total mAb and C5, the majority of samples (approximately 86%) had large HMW complexes larger than pentamers. Although eculizumab and pozelimb in combination can form heteromeric complexes with C5, the presence of excess pozelimb reduced the formation of large, higher-order immune complexes compared to conditions where total mAb and C5 were present at equimolar concentrations.
[0248] When switching from a regimen containing an antibody that does not significantly compete with pozelimuab for binding to C5 (a non-competing antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (N / C Ab), e.g., eculizumab or ravulizumab), a transition period is designed to mitigate the potential risk of forming large DTD immune complexes, eculizumab-C5-pozellimab, during the switch from eculizumab to the pozelimuab / semdisirane combination. The transition period may include an induction semdisirane dose followed by a pozelimuab IV loading dose (60 mg / kg) that is higher than that used in high / treatment-naive patients (30 mg / kg). The first dose of semdisirane (e.g., given on day 1) reduces C5 production, thereby lowering circulating levels of total C5 available for potential large DTD complex formation before the introduction of pozelimuab. To further minimize risk, a 60 mg / kg IV loading dose of pozelimuab establishes a high pozelimuab:eculizumab molar ratio. This excess concentration of pozelimuab ensures saturation of C5 binding sites by pozelimuab, thereby reducing the formation of higher-order DTD immune complexes compared to equimolar molar concentrations of total antibody and C5. This IV loading dose results in a molar ratio of pozelimuab to eculizumab of approximately 17:1, based on the reported mean eculizumab trough concentration of 97 mg / L (Soliris® Eculizumab (prescribing information)) and the predicted pozelimuab concentration.
[0249] An additional dose of about 30 mg / kg IV of anti-C5 antibody or antigen-binding fragment, preferably pozelimb, can be included in situations where adverse events [AEs] potentially due to large DTD (drug-target-drug) immune complexes are suspected and / or where systemic corticosteroids are administered for Type III hypersensitivity reactions. This additional dose will likely establish a state of circulating pozelimbab excess, thereby minimizing the risk of further immune complex formation.
[0250] Thus, the present disclosure includes: methods for reducing the likelihood of large DTD complex formation and / or establishing an excess of pozelimbab (e.g., a ratio of >1:1::pozellimab:N / C Ab (higher than equimolar), e.g., about 17:1::pozellimab:N / C Ab) in a subject prior to initiation of a regimen comprising semdisiran and pozelimb (e.g., as provided herein, pozelimbab 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W); and A method for treating or preventing a C5-related disease or disorder (preferably PNH) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of pozeliman and a C5 iRNA (preferably semdisirane), wherein the subject has previously received a treatment regimen comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that does not compete with pozeliman for binding to C5 (a non-competitive antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (N / C Ab), e.g., eculizumab or ravulizumab), and wherein the subject: (1) A dose of C5 iRNA (e.g., semdisiran) is administered after a dose of N / C Ab (e.g., eculizumab or ravulizumab) but before the first dose of pozelimbab (e.g., pozelimbab IV (e.g., 60 mg / kg) and / or pozelimbab 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W); or (1) A dose of C5 iRNA (e.g., semdisiran) is administered after the dose of N / C Ab but before the first dose of pozelimab; then (2) an intravenous loading dose of pozeli- mab (e.g., 60 mg / kg) is administered; or (1) An intravenous loading dose of pozelimb (e.g., 60 mg / kg) is administered with doses of pozelimb 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W; then (2) approximately 4 weeks later (and continued every 4 weeks thereafter), pozelimab 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W; or (1) a dose of C5 iRNA (e.g., semdisiran) is administered with doses of pozelimab 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W after the dose of N / C Ab has been administered and approximately 4 weeks before an intravenous loading dose of pozelimab (e.g., 60 mg / kg); then (2) approximately 4 weeks later (and continued every 4 weeks thereafter), pozelimab 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W; or (1) a dose of C5 iRNA (Semdisiran) and a dose of non-competing antibody or fragment (N / C Ab) was administered on the day the dose of N / C Ab was scheduled; (2) the next dose of N / C Ab is administered on the day such dose is scheduled; (3) a pozelimbab IV loading dose (e.g., 60 mg / kg) and pozelimbab 400 mg SC and semdisiran 200 mg SC were administered after approximately 1–2 half-lives of the N / C Ab or when the next dose of the N / C Ab was scheduled; (4) starting 4 weeks later (and continuing every 4 weeks thereafter), pozelimab 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W; or (1) A dose of C5 iRNA (e.g., semdisiran) is administered approximately 1-2 half-lives after the final dose of N / C Ab; or on the day the next dose of N / C Ab is scheduled; or after half the inter-dose interval has elapsed since the final dose of N / C Ab; (2) after approximately 1–2 additional half-lives of N / C Ab, a pozelimb IV loading dose (e.g., 60 mg / kg), pozelimb 400 mg SC, and semdisiran 200 mg SC are administered; and (3) starting 4 weeks later (and continuing every 4 weeks thereafter), pozelimab 400 mg SC Q4W and semdisiran 200 mg SC Q4W; method.
