[0002] The aforementioned application, and all cited documents in the application or its examination procedures ("Application Citations"), and all documents cited or referenced in the Application Citations, and all documents cited or referenced herein ("Specified Citations"), and all documents cited or referenced in the Specified Citations, together with any manufacturer's instructions, descriptions, product specifications, and product sheets relating to any product mentioned herein or in any document referred herein, are incorporated herein by reference and may be used in practice of the present invention. More specifically, all referenced documents are incorporated by reference to the same extent as each individual document is specifically and individually indicated as to be incorporated by reference.
[0003] The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating neoplasms (e.g., tumors) using, in particular, at least one neoantigen peptide suitable for treating a substantial proportion of subjects in a population affected by cancer. [Background technology]
[0004] Approximately 1.6 million Americans are diagnosed with neoplasms each year, and in 2013, it was estimated that around 580,000 people in the U.S. would die from this disease. In recent decades, the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of neoplasms have improved dramatically, leading to a significant increase in survival rates for many types of neoplasms. However, only about 60% of those diagnosed with neoplasms are still alive five years after starting treatment, making neoplasms the second leading cause of death in the United States.
[0005] Currently, there are numerous existing cancer therapies, including ablation techniques (e.g., surgical procedures, cryo / thermal treatment, ultrasound, radiofrequency, and radiation) and chemical techniques (e.g., pharmaceuticals, cytotoxic / chemotherapeutic agents, monoclonal antibodies, and various combinations thereof). Unfortunately, these treatments often carry serious risks, toxic side effects, and extremely high costs, in addition to their uncertain effectiveness. [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] Cancer therapies that attempt to target cancer cells using the patient's own immune system (e.g., cancer vaccines) are attracting increasing attention because such therapies can mitigate / eliminate some of the drawbacks described herein. Cancer vaccines typically consist of tumor antigens and immunostimulatory molecules (e.g., cytokines or TLR ligands) that work together to induce antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells, which then target and destroy tumor cells. Current cancer vaccines may contain common tumor antigens, which are native proteins (i.e., proteins encoded by the DNA of all normal cells in an individual) that are selectively expressed or overexpressed in tumors found in many individuals. While such common tumor antigens are useful for identifying specific types of tumors, they are not ideal as immunogens for targeting T cell responses against specific tumor types because they contribute to an immune-weakening autotolerance effect. Vaccines containing tumor-specific and patient-specific neoantigens address some of the drawbacks of vaccines containing common tumor antigens. This can be resolved. However, using patient-specific neoantigens requires sequencing of the genome of each individual subject and the manufacture of personalized compositions containing the combination of neoantigens present in these individual subjects. Therefore, there is still a need for improvements in methods and compositions for delivering cancer vaccines.
[0007] Any reference or specification of any document in this application does not constitute an admission that such document is available as prior art for the present invention. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] Preferred descriptions (features) and embodiments of the present invention are shown below in this specification. Each description and embodiment of the present invention as defined herein may be combined with any other description and / or embodiment unless expressly indicated otherwise. In particular, any feature indicated as preferred or advantageous may be combined with any other feature or description indicated as preferred or advantageous. In this specification, the present invention is specifically incorporated by any one or any combination of one or more of the descriptions and / or embodiments below and any other descriptions and / or embodiments.
[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide methods and compositions for treating a population of cancer patients by inducing an immune response that targets cancer. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one neoantigen peptide and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein each of the at least one neoantigen peptide comprises a tumor-specific neoepitope capable of binding to a target HLA protein, and each tumor-specific neoepitope comprises a tumor-specific mutation present in the tumor. The composition may contain one neoantigen peptide. In other embodiments, the composition may contain more than 100 neoantigen peptides. Preferably, the composition contains about 20 neoantigen peptides. This at least one neoantigen peptide may contain a tumor-specific mutation. This mutation may be repetitive. Preferably, this mutation is present in the majority of the population. The repetitive mutation may be based on a mutation present in tumors in at least 1% of subjects in a population of subjects affected by cancer. The composition may contain at least one neoantigen peptide comprising a tumor-specific neoepitope that binds to an HLA protein present in at least 5% of subjects in a population of subjects affected by cancer. In addition, the composition may contain at least one neoantigen peptide capable of inducing an immune response against tumors present in at least 5% of subjects in a population of subjects affected by cancer. The ability to induce an immune response refers to the ability of the immune system to present the antigen to lymphocytes. For the immune system to present the antigen, this antigen must be presented by the subject's HLA protein. For the composition to induce an immune response against a tumor, the tumor must contain a mutation in which the antigen is expressed. For the composition to benefit a population that needs it, this population must include subjects that express an HLA allele capable of binding to at least one neoantigen peptide present in the composition, and this population must include subjects that have tumors with mutations in which a neoantigen epitope exists in the neoantigen peptide.
[0010] This composition may be specific to a population of subjects suffering from cancer that shares certain characteristics. This population may have cancer or have a specific cancer. This population may share a common set of HLA subtypes. This population may share HLA subtypes based on ethnicity. Although not bound by theory, the proportion of HLA types in a population can be predicted based on ethnicity without testing. Although not bound by theory, different populations express different HLA types that can bind to different neoantigen peptides. Therefore, a composition may be formulated to benefit the majority of one population, but this composition may not benefit another population. While not restrictive, different cancers contain different mutations, and therefore, using a composition tailored to a specific cancer can yield greater benefits to a population with one type of cancer compared to a population containing multiple types. In one embodiment, this population includes adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA), breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC), colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), colorectal cancer (CRC), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC), kidney chromophobe (KICH), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma.

[0034] A common neoantigen immunogenic composition can be administered by subcompositions, each containing a portion of the neoantigen, and these subcompositions can be administered to different locations in the subject or patient; for example, a composition containing 20 different neoantigens can be administered by four subcompositions, each containing five of the 20 different neoantigens, and these four subcompositions can be administered to attempt to deliver each subcomposition to the individual aspiration lymph nodes of the patient, e.g., each of the upper and lower limbs (e.g., the thigh or upper thigh or near the buttocks or lumbar region on each side of the patient's body), thereby limiting competition between neoantigens. Naturally, the number of locations and, consequently, the number of subcompositions can vary, and for example, a person skilled in the art may consider an administration having a fifth administration site in or near the spleen, and a person skilled in the art may change the locations so that only one, two or three (e.g., each upper limb and one lower limb, each lower limb and one upper limb, each lower limb and no upper limbs, or both upper limbs only) are used. The common neoantigen immunogenic compositions administered at the various intervals described above may be different formulations, and the subcompositions administered to different locations in the subject or patient during a single dose may be different compositions. For example, the initial dose may be the entire common neoantigen immunogenic composition, and subsequent doses may be vectors (e.g., viral vectors or plasmids) that express one or more antigens in vivo. Similarly, when administering different subcompositions to different locations in the patient or subject, some subcompositions may contain all antigens, and some subcompositions may contain vectors (e.g., viral vectors or plasmids) that express one or more antigens in vivo. Furthermore, some compositions and subcompositions may contain both vectors (e.g., viral vectors or plasmids) that express one or more antigens in vivo and all antigens. Some vectors (e.g., poxviruses) that express one or more antigens in vivo may have an immunostimulatory or adjuvant effect, and such vectors may The contained compositions or subcompositions may be autoadjuvants. Furthermore, by altering the nature of how antigens are presented to the immune system through administration, the immune system can be "primed" and then "boosted." In this document, when the term "vaccine" is used, the present invention is intended to encompass immunogenic compositions, and when the term "patient or subject" is used, such individual is intended to be a patient or subject who requires the treatments, administrations, compositions, and generally the present invention disclosed herein.
[0035] Furthermore, the present invention applies to the use of any type of expression vector, for example, viral expression vectors, for example, poxviruses (e.g., orthopoxvirus or avipoxvirus, for example, vaccinia virus, for example, modified vaccinia ankara or MVA, MVA-BN, NYVAC as described in International Publication A-92 / 15672, fowlpox, for example, trovax, canarypox, for example, ALVAC (International Publication A-95 / 27780 and International Publication A-92 / 15672), pigeonpox, swinepox, etc.), adenoviruses, AAVs, herpesviruses, and lentiviruses; or plasmid or DNA or nucleic acid molecular vectors. Some cytoplasmic vectors, such as poxvirus vectors, may be advantageous. However, adenoviruses, AAVs, and lentiviruses may also be advantageous for use in the implementation of the present invention.
[0036] In ready-to-use, particularly reconstituted, common neoantigen immunogenic compositions, vectors, such as viral vectors, are present in amounts within the scope of those skilled in the art from the present disclosure and the knowledge in the art (including that found in the patents and scientific literature cited herein).
[0037] The whole antigen or vector, such as a recombinant live vaccine, may exist in a freeze-dried form that allows for its storage and is reconstituted immediately before use in a solvent or excipient that may contain an adjuvant as discussed herein.
[0038] Accordingly, the subject matter of the present invention is also a vaccination or immunization set or kit comprising a separately packaged freeze-dried vaccine and a reconstitution solution for the freeze-dried vaccine, which advantageously comprises an adjuvant compound as discussed herein.
[0039] The subject matter of the present invention is also a vaccination or immunization method comprising, or essentially comprising, a step of administering the vaccine or immunogenic composition according to the present invention at one or more administration rates, for example, by parenteral routes, preferably subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intradermal routes, or by mucosal routes. Optionally, the method includes a preliminary step of reconstituting a freeze-dried common neoantigen immunogenic composition (e.g., lyophilized whole antigen or vector) into a solution, which also advantageously includes an adjuvant.
[0040] In one embodiment, a common neoantigen immunogenic composition is administered at a dose of approximately 10 μg to 1 mg per 70 kg individual with respect to each neoantigen peptide. In another embodiment, the common neoantigen immunogenic composition is administered at an average weekly dose level of approximately 10 μg to 2000 μg per 70 kg individual with respect to each neoantigen peptide. In another related embodiment, this administration is intravenous. In one embodiment, the common neoantigen immunogenic composition is administered intravenously or subcutaneously.
[0041] In another embodiment, the method further includes (a) obtaining a sample of tumor tissue from each subject, (b) detecting one or more tumor-specific mutations in the sample, and (c) selecting a subject from the population of subjects for treatment with at least one neoantigen peptide if at least one tumor-specific mutation is detected in the sample derived from the subject.
[0042] In another embodiment, the method further includes (a) detecting the HLA allotype present in each subject, and (b) selecting a subject from a population of subjects for treatment with at least one neoantigen peptide if one or more HLA allotypes present in the subject bind to one or more tumor-specific neoepitopes present in at least one neoantigen peptide.
[0043] Embodiments of the present invention relate to compositions and methods using a common neoantigen, which, unlike common innate (non-mutagenic) antigens derived from genes differentially expressed in tumors, possess desired properties (e.g., not susceptible to central tolerance-reducing effects and high tumor specificity). This is because the neoantigen is expressed only in tumor tissue, for example, because it is generated by tumor-specific mutations or splicing defects. Such splice variants or mutations can generate immunogenic epitopes across various HLA alleles, thus covering a significant proportion of the population. Furthermore, since these mutations may be present in a significant proportion of subjects affected by cancer, the compositions described herein do not require whole-genome sequencing of the subject and can be used as "off-the-shelf" products for treating multiple subjects. For example, the method may simply involve detecting one or more of the specific mutations present in the composition from a tumor sample derived from the subject, and administering the composition to a subject in which at least one mutation is present. This is in contrast to methods that use patient-specific neoantigen mixtures, which require sequencing of the entire genome or exome of each subject and the manufacture of individualized treatment compositions.
[0044] Other embodiments relate to combination therapy using a method of treatment with the common neoantigen composition of the present invention in conjunction with a current drug regimen. This common neoantigen composition can be administered prophylactically. In one embodiment, a patient in need is treated with chemotherapy and / or targeted therapy in combination with the common neoantigen immunogenic composition before drug resistance mutations can be detected. This common neoantigen immunogenic composition may be formulated to contain neoantigen peptides specific to resistance mutations associated with the selected therapy. In another embodiment, this common neoantigen composition is administered before treating a target with chemotherapy and / or targeted therapy to induce an immune response against cells with drug resistance mutations before such cells develop. This administration may be sequential or sequential, or substantially simultaneous or substantially simultaneous. For example, the administration of the common neoantigen immunogenic composition and the administration of cancer treatment may be substantially simultaneous or substantially simultaneous. Alternatively, the administration of the common neoantigen immunogenic composition can be on a one-time schedule, for example, weekly, bi-weekly, every three weeks, monthly, every other month, every quarter (every three months), every third (every four months), every five months, twice a year (every six months), every seven months, every eight months, every nine months, every ten months, every eleven months, every year, etc. The administration of cancer treatment can be on a separate schedule, typical of treatments where the subject or patient has two different treatment schedules progressing simultaneously, and the administration of the common neoantigen immunogenic necrosis composition and the administration of cancer treatment can be sequential or continuous. In a preferred embodiment, the subject may be treated with ibrutinib, erlotinib, imatinib, gefitinib, crizotinib, trastuzumab, vemurafenib, RAF / MEK, or anti-estrogen therapy.
[0045] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a diagnostic method for early detection and tracking of cancer progression by determining the presence of at least one neoantigen peptide of the present invention in a patient sample. The patient sample may be derived from blood, sputum, saliva, urine, tumor tissue, lymph, semen, or feces.
[0046] In one embodiment, the diagnostic method is used before administering the common neoantigen composition described herein. The diagnostic method may include comparing the amount of common neoantigen mutations in a series of at least two samples taken during cancer treatment and / or treatment with the common neoantigen composition. While not bound by theory, the effectiveness of the treatment can be determined using an increase or decrease in common neoantigen mutations.
[0047] In one embodiment, mutant genes can be detected using PCR-based methods or sequencing. Mutations in transcribed neoantigen genes can be detected using reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). In addition, the presence of mutations can be determined using any sequencing technique. In a preferred embodiment, pyrosequencing is used. The present invention also provides a kit comprising primers that are specific to sequences containing neoantigen mutations.
[0048] In another embodiment, this mutation is detected by an immunological detection method. This mutation can be detected using an antibody specific to the common neoantigen mutation. This antibody can be conjugated to an array. This array can contain antibodies for detecting two or more of the common neoantigen mutations of the present invention. This antibody can be configured for use in an ELISA assay. Therefore, a composition or kit containing an antibody that specifically recognizes the common neoantigen of the present invention can be provided.
[0049] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating or preventing tumors in a target population in need thereof, comprising administering to the target a drug comprising an extracellular ligand-binding domain that recognizes a tumor-specific neoepitope having an incidence of at least 1% of the target population, including a tumor-specific mutation. The drug may be an antibody, an antibody fragment, an antibody-drug conjugate, an aptamer, a CAR, or a T cell receptor. The antibody or antibody fragment may be humanized, fully humanized, or a chimeric. The antibody fragment may be a nanobody, Fab, Fab', (Fab')2, Fv, ScFv, a bispecific antibody, a triplicate antibody, a quadruplicate antibody, Bis-scFv, a minibody, a Fab2, or a Fab3 fragment. The tumor-specific mutation may be one of the mutations listed in Table 9 for any population. The tumor-specific mutation may be intracellular in a gene comprising an extracellular domain. This tumor-specific mutation can be FGFR3 S249C, ERBB3 V104M, EGFR L858R, MUC4 H4205Q, PDGFRA R483fs, TMEM52 23_26LLPL>L, or PODXL 28_30PSP>P. This tumor-specific mutation can be located within the extracellular domain. This tumor-specific mutation includes FGFR3 S249C or ERBB3 V104M. Although not constrained by theory, the presence of a neoepitope in a protein with an extracellular domain allows this neoepitope to exist on the cell surface. Although not constrained by theory, the presence of a neoepitope within the extracellular domain allows this neoepitope to exist on the cell surface.

[0313] The term "receptor" should be understood to mean a biomolecule or molecular classification that possesses ligand-binding ability. Receptors can function to transmit information in cells, cell formation, or organisms. A receptor comprises at least one receptor unit, and often two or more receptor units, where each receptor unit may consist of a protein molecule, more specifically a glycoprotein molecule. A receptor has a structure that complements the structure of the ligand and can form a complex with the ligand as a binding partner. After binding to the ligand on the cell surface, signal information can be transmitted by a change in the three-dimensional structure of the receptor. According to the present invention, a receptor may refer to specific MHC class I and II proteins that have the ability to form a receptor / ligand complex with a ligand, more specifically a peptide or peptide fragment of a suitable length.
[0314] The term "subject" refers to an animal that is the subject of treatment, observation, or experimentation. For example, subjects include, but are not limited to, mammals, such as humans or non-human mammals, such as non-human primates, cattle, horses, dogs, sheep, or cats.
[0315] The terms “treat,” “treated,” “treating,” and “treatment” all refer to the reduction or remission of a disorder and / or related symptoms (e.g., neoplasms or tumors). “Treat” may also mean administering treatment to a subject after the onset or suspected onset of cancer. “Treat” includes the concept of “mitigating,” which refers to reducing the frequency or severity of any cancer-related symptoms or other adverse effects and / or side effects associated with cancer treatment. The term “to treat” also encompasses the concept of “to manage,” which refers to reducing the severity of a particular disease or disorder in a patient or delaying its recurrence, for example, extending the remission period in a patient who has previously suffered from the disease. It should be understood that treating a disorder or condition does not necessarily require the complete disappearance of the disorder, condition, or related symptoms, although this is not excluded.
[0316] The term “therapeutic effect” refers to the degree of any reduction in one or more symptoms of a disorder (e.g., neoplasm or tumor) or any associated pathology. “Therapeutic effective dose,” as used herein, refers to the amount of a drug administered in a single or multiple doses to a cell or subject that is effective in extending the survival of a patient with such disorder, reducing, preventing, or delaying one or more signs or symptoms of the disorder, beyond what would be expected in the absence of such treatment. “Therapeutic effective dose” is intended to determine the eligibility of the amount required to achieve the therapeutic effect. A physician or veterinarian with ordinary art can readily determine and prescribe the “therapeutic effective dose” (e.g., ED50) of the required pharmaceutical composition. For example, a physician or veterinarian may start the dose of the compound of the present invention used in the pharmaceutical composition at a level lower than the dose required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually increase the dose until the desired effect is achieved.
[0317] The terms "spacer" or "linker," when used in relation to fusion proteins, refer to peptides that bind to proteins containing the fusion protein. Generally, spacers have no specific biological activity other than binding or maintaining a certain minimum distance or other spatial relationship between proteins or RNA sequences. However, in certain embodiments, the constituent amino acids of a spacer may be selected to influence several molecular properties, such as molecular folding, net charge, or hydrophobicity.
[0318] Suitable linkers for use in embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art, and include, but are not limited to, linear or branched carbon linkers, heterocyclic carbon linkers, or peptide linkers. In preferred embodiments, the linker is used to separate two neoantigen peptides by a distance sufficient to ensure that each neoantigen peptide folds correctly. Preferred peptide linker sequences employ flexible extended conformations and do not tend to generate regular secondary structures. Typical amino acids in the flexible protein region include Gly, Asn, and Ser. Substantially, any permutation of amino acid sequences containing Gly, Asn, and Ser would be expected to satisfy the above criteria for linker sequences. Other nearly neutral amino acids (e.g., Thr and Ala) can also be used in linker sequences. Further amino acid sequences that can be used as linkers are disclosed in Maratea et al. (1985), Gene 40:39-46; Murphy et al. (1986), Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 83:8258-62; U.S. Patent No. 4,935,233; and U.S. Patent No. 4,751,180.
[0319] Any list of chemical groups in any definition of a variable group as described herein includes the definition of the variable group as any single group or combination of the enumerated groups. Any description of embodiments relating to a variable group or aspect as described herein includes embodiments as any single embodiment or embodiments in combination with any other embodiment or part thereof.
[0320] Any composition or method provided herein may be combined with one or more other compositions and methods provided herein.
[0321] The therapies disclosed herein constitute novel methods for treating various types of cancer. The therapies described herein also provide treatment methods that achieve clinical benefits without unacceptable levels of side effects.
[0322] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for treating neoplasms (more specifically tumors) by administering a vaccine or immunogenic composition comprising a plurality of tumor-specific neoantigen peptides to a subject. As described in more detail herein, in some embodiments, the composition provides a specific optimized subset of tumor-specific neoantigens suitable for treating tumors in a high proportion of subjects suffering from cancer. In some embodiments, these tumor-specific neoantigens can bind together to a high overall proportion of HLA allotypes present in the population of the subject.
[0323] The immune system can be classified into two functional subsystems: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. The innate immune system is the front line of defense against infection, and the most potentially capable pathogens are rapidly neutralized by this system before they can cause a recognizable infection, for example. The adaptive immune system responds to the molecular structure of invading organisms, called antigens. There are two types of adaptive immune responses: humoral immune responses and cell-mediated immune responses. In humoral immune responses, antibodies secreted into the body fluid by B cells bind to pathogen-derived antigens, leading to the elimination of pathogens through various mechanisms, such as complement-mediated lysis. In cell-mediated immune responses, T cells, which have the ability to destroy other cells, are activated. For example, if disease-related proteins are present in cells, these proteins are fragmented into peptides by proteolysis within the cell. Then, specific cellular proteins attach to these thus formed antigens or peptides and transport them to the cell surface, where these antigens or peptides are presented to the body's molecular defense mechanisms, specifically T cells. Cytotoxic T cells recognize these antigens and kill the cells that possess them.
[0324] Molecules that transport and present peptides to the cell surface are called major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. MHC proteins are classified into two types: MHC class I and MHC class II. The structures of these two MHC class proteins are very similar; however, they have very different functions. MHC class I proteins are present on the surface of almost all cells in the body, including many tumor cells. MHC class I proteins are typically loaded with antigens derived from endogenous proteins or pathogens present within the cell, which are then presented to naive or cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). MHC class II proteins are present on dendritic cells, B lymphocytes, macrophages, and other antigen-presenting cells. MHC class II proteins primarily present peptides from external antigen sources, i.e., processed outside the cell, to T helper (Th) cells. Most peptides to which MHC class I proteins bind originate from cytoplasmic proteins produced in the organism's own healthy host cells and do not usually stimulate an immune response. Therefore, cytotoxic T lymphocytes that recognize such self-peptide-presenting MHC molecules of class I are either eliminated in the thymus (central tolerance) or eliminated or inactivated after release from the thymus, i.e., tolerated (peripheral tolerance). MHC molecules have the ability to stimulate an immune response when they present peptides to non-tolerant T lymphocytes. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes have both a T cell receptor (TCR) and a CD8 molecule on their surface. The T cell receptor has the ability to recognize and bind peptides complexed with MHC class I molecules. Each cytotoxic T lymphocyte expresses a unique T cell receptor that has the ability to bind to specific MHC / peptide complexes.
[0325] Peptide antigens attach to MHC class I molecules within the endoplasmic reticulum via competitive affinity binding before being presented on the cell surface. Here, the affinity of individual peptide antigens is directly related to their amino acid sequence and the presence of specific binding motifs at defined positions within that sequence. If the sequence of such peptides is known, it is possible to manipulate the immune system against infected cells, for example, using peptide vaccines.
[0326] One of the major obstacles hindering the development of curative and tumor-specific immunotherapies is the identification and selection of highly specific and restrictive tumor antigens to avoid autoimmunity. Tumor neoantigens, which arise as a result of genetic changes within malignant cells (e.g., inversions, translocations, deletions, missense mutations, splice site mutations, etc.), constitute the most tumor-specific class of antigens. Neoantigens have rarely been used in cancer vaccines or immunogenic compositions due to the technical difficulties in their identification, selection of optimized neoantigens, and production of neoantigens for use in vaccines or immunogenic compositions. These problems can be addressed by: Identifying neoplasm / tumor mutations that are present at the DNA level in tumors but not in corresponding germline samples from a high proportion of subjects with cancer; • Analyze identified mutations using one or more peptide-MHC binding prediction algorithms to generate multiple neoantigen T cell epitopes expressed within neoplasms / tumors and binding to a high proportion of the patient's HLA alleles; and To synthesize multiple neoantigen peptides selected from a set of all neoantigen peptides and predictive binding peptides for use in cancer vaccines or immunogenic compositions suitable for treating a high proportion of subjects with cancer.
[0327] For example, converting sequencing information into therapeutic vaccines includes the following: (1) Prediction of mutant peptides that can bind to HLA molecules in a high percentage of individuals. To efficiently select which specific mutations should be used as immunogens, it is necessary to be able to predict which mutant peptides can efficiently bind to the HLA alleles of a high percentage of patients. In recent years, the accuracy of prediction algorithms for major HLA-A and -B alleles has improved with neural network-based learning methods using validated binding and unbinding peptides. (2) Formulating the drug as a long-peptide multi-epitope vaccine. By targeting as many mutant epitopes as possible, the immense capabilities of the immune system are leveraged, opportunities for immune escape through downregulation of specific immunotargeting gene products are prevented, and known inaccuracies of epitope prediction methods are compensated for. Synthetic peptides provide a particularly useful means for efficiently preparing multiple immunogens and rapidly translating mutant epitope identification into effective vaccines. Peptides can be readily chemically synthesized using reagents free from contaminating bacteria or animal matter and can be easily purified. Their small size allows for clear focus on mutant regions of proteins and reduces irrelevant antigen competition from other components (non-mutant proteins or viral vector antigens). (3) Concomitant use with a potent vaccine adjuvant. Effective vaccines require a potent adjuvant to elicit an immune response. As described below, poly-ICLC, which is a TLR3 agonist and the RNA helicase domains of MDA5 and RIG3, exhibits several desirable properties as vaccine adjuvants. These properties include induction of local and systemic activation of immune cells in vivo, production of stimulating chemokines and cytokines, and stimulation of antigen presentation by DCs. Furthermore, poly-ICLC can induce a sustained CD4+ and CD8+ response in humans. Importantly, significant similarities in the upregulation of transcriptional and signaling pathways were observed between subjects vaccinated with poly-ICLC and volunteers who had previously received a highly effective replication-competent yellow fever vaccine. In addition, in a recent Phase 1 study, more than 90% of ovarian cancer patients immunized with poly-ICLC in combination with the NYES0-1 peptide vaccine (in addition to Montanide) showed induction of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and an antibody response to the peptide. Simultaneously, polyICLC has been extensively tested in more than 25 clinical trials to date, exhibiting a relatively safe toxicity profile. The advantages of the present invention described above are further described herein.
[0328] As described herein, in both animals and humans, mutagenic epitopes are effective in inducing immune responses, and cases of spontaneous tumor regression or long-term survival correlate with CD8+ T cell responses to mutagenic epitopes (Buckwalter and Srivastava PK. "It is the antigen(s), stupid" and other lessons from over a decade of vaccitherapy of human cancer." Seminars in immunology 20:296-300 (2008); Karanikas et al. "High frequency of cytolytic T lymphocytes directed against a tumor-specific mutated antigen detectable with HLA tetramers in the blood of a lung carcinoma patient with long survival." Cancer Res.61:3718-3724(2001); Lennerz et al, "The response of autologous T cells to a human melanoma is dominated by mutated neo-antigens." Proc Natl Acad Sci US A.102:16013(2005)) and the ability to track "immunoediting" in altering the expression of dominant mutated antigens in mice and humans (Matsushita et al, "Cancer exome analysis reveals a T-cell-dependent mechanism of cancer immunoediting"). "Immunoediting" Nature 482:400 (2012); DuPage et al, "The expression of tumor-specific antigens underlies cancer immunoediting (Expre There is ample evidence for the "ssion of tumor-specific antigens underlies cancer immunoediting" (Nature 482:405 (2012)); and for Sampson et al., "Immunologic escape after prolonged progression-free survival with epidermal growth factor receptor variant III peptide vaccination in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma" (J Clin Oncol. 28:4722-4729 (2010)). In one embodiment, the mutant epitope of a cancer patient is determined.
[0329] Sequencing techniques have revealed that each tumor contains multiple patient-specific mutations that alter the protein-coding content of its genes. These mutations produce modified proteins ranging from single-amino acid changes (caused by missense mutations) to the addition of long regions of novel amino acid sequences resulting from frameshifts, stop codon read-throughs, or translation of intron regions (novel open-reading frame mutations; neo-ORFs). Unlike native proteins, these mutant proteins are not subject to self-tolerant immunosuppressive effects, making them useful targets for the host's immune response to tumors. Therefore, mutant proteins are more likely to be immunogenic and exhibit higher specificity to tumor cells compared to the patient's normal cells.
[0330] In one embodiment, multiple neoantigen peptides in the composition share affinity for multiple MHC molecules (e.g., MHC molecules that together cover a large portion of the target population). Efficiently selecting which specific mutations should be used as immunogens requires the ability to predict which mutant peptides can efficiently bind to HLA alleles present in the patient population. In recent years, neural network-based learning methods using validated bound and unbound peptides have improved the accuracy of prediction algorithms for major HLA-A and -B alleles. By utilizing recently improved algorithms that predict which missense mutations will produce strongly binding peptides to cognitive MHC molecules, it is possible to identify and prioritize a set of peptides that represent the optimal mutant epitopes (both neoORFs and missenses) for a patient population (Zhang et al, "Machine learning competition in immunology - Prediction of HLA class I binding peptides" J Immunol Methods 374:1(2011); Lundegaard et al, "Prediction of epitopes using neural network based methods" J Immunol Methods 374:26(2011)).
[0331] By targeting as many mutant epitopes as possible in reality, the vast capabilities of the immune system are utilized, opportunities for immune escape through downregulation of specific immunotargeting gene products are prevented, and known inaccuracies of epitope prediction methods are compensated for. Synthetic peptides provide a particularly useful means for efficiently preparing multiple immunogens and rapidly translating the identification of mutant epitopes into effective vaccines or immunogenic compositions. Peptides can be readily chemically synthesized using reagents free from contaminating bacteria or animal substances and can be easily purified. Their small size allows for clear focus on mutant regions of proteins and reduces irrelevant antigen competition from other components (non-mutant proteins or viral vector antigens).
[0332] In one embodiment, the drug formulation is a long peptide multiepitope vaccine or immunogenic composition. Such “long” peptides have been shown to undergo efficient internalization, processing, and cross-presentation in professional antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells, and to induce CTLs in humans (Melief and van der Van Van der Van der Van der Van der Van Van der Van der Van Van der Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van Van der Van der Burg, "Immunotherapy of established (pre)malignant disease by synthetic long peptide vaccines," Nature Rev Cancer 8:351 (2008). In one embodiment, at least two peptides are prepared for immunization. In a preferred embodiment, 20 or more peptides are prepared for immunization. In some embodiments, the neoantigen peptides are in the range of about 5 to about 50 amino acids in length. In another embodiment, peptides are synthesized that are about 15 to about 35 amino acids in length. In a preferred embodiment, the neoantigen peptides are in the range of about 20 to about 35 amino acids in length.
[0333] Production of tumor-specific neoantigens The present invention is, at least in part, based on the ability to present a pool of tumor-specific neoantigens to a patient's immune system. Those skilled in the art will understand from this disclosure and the knowledge in the art that there are various methods for producing such tumor-specific neoantigens. Generally, such tumor-specific neoantigens can be produced either in vitro or in vivo. Tumor-specific neoantigens may be produced in vitro as peptides or polypeptides, which may then be formulated into neoplasm vaccines or immunogenic compositions and administered to a subject. As described in more detail herein, such in vitro production may be carried out by various methods known to those skilled in the art, such as peptide synthesis or expression of peptides / polypeptides from DNA or RNA molecules in any of various bacterial, eukaryotic, or viral recombinant expression systems, followed by purification of the expressed peptides / polypeptides. Alternatively, tumor-specific neoantigens may be produced in vivo by introducing a molecule encoding a tumor-specific neoantigen (e.g., DNA, RNA, viral expression system, etc.) into a subject, and then expressing the encoded tumor-specific neoantigen after introduction. Methods for the in vitro and in vivo preparation of neoantigens are also described herein when they relate to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the delivery of therapeutic agents.
[0334] In certain embodiments, the present invention includes modified neoantigen peptides. When used herein with respect to neoantigen peptides, the terms “modified,” “modified,” etc., refer to one or more changes that enhance a desired property of the neoantigen peptide, the changes not altering the primary amino acid sequence of the neoantigen peptide. “Modified” includes covalent chemical modifications that do not alter the primary amino acid sequence of the neoantigen peptide itself. Such desired properties include, for example, an extension of the half-life in vivo, increased stability, decreased clearance, alteration of immunogenicity or allergenicity, and the possibility of increased antibody, cell targeting, antigen uptake, antigen processing, MHC affinity, MHC stability, or antigen presentation. Possible modifications to the neoantigen peptide include, but are not limited to, conjugation to a carrier protein, conjugation to a ligand, conjugation to an antibody, PEGylation, polysialylated HES, recombinant PEG mimetic, Fc fusion, albumin fusion, attachment of nanoparticles, encapsulation of nanoparticles, cholesterol fusion, iron fusion, acylation, amidation, glycosylation, oxidation of side chains, phosphorylation, biotinylation, addition of surfactants, addition of amino acid mimetic, or addition of non-natural amino acids.
[0335] The clinical efficacy of protein-based therapeutics is often limited by their short plasma half-lives and susceptibility to protease degradation. Studies of various therapeutic proteins (e.g., filgrastim) have shown that such difficulties can be overcome by modifying polypeptide sequences with various non-protein polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol, or polyoxyglycerides). It has been found that this can be overcome by various modifications, such as conjugating or linking to one of the sialcylenes (see, for example, via a linking moiety that is typically covalent to both protein and non-protein polymers (e.g., PEG)). Such PEG-conjugated biomolecules have been found to possess clinically beneficial properties (e.g., better physical and thermal stability, protection from enzymatic degradation, increased solubility, longer in vivo circulating half-life and reduced clearance, decreased immunogenicity and antigenicity, and reduced toxicity).
[0336] PEGs suitable for conjugation into polypeptide sequences are generally water-soluble at room temperature and have the general formula R(O-CH2-CH2) n The general formula has OR, where R is a protecting group such as a hydrogen atom, alkyl group, or alkanol group, and n is an integer from 1 to 1000. When R is a protecting group, R generally has 1 to 8 carbon atoms. PEG conjugated to a polypeptide sequence can be linear or branched. Branched PEG derivatives, "star-PEG," and multi-armed PEG are intended by this disclosure. The molecular weight of the PEG used in this disclosure is not limited to any particular range, although certain embodiments have molecular weights from 500 to 20,000 and other embodiments have molecular weights from 4,000 to 10,000.
[0337] This disclosure also intends to describe compositions of conjugates in which multiple PEGs have different n values, and therefore various different PEGs are present in specific ratios. For example, some compositions contain mixtures of n=1, 2, 3, and 4 conjugates. In some compositions, the proportion of n=1 conjugates is 18-25%, the proportion of n=2 conjugates is 50-66%, the proportion of n=3 conjugates is 12-16%, and the proportion of n=4 conjugates is up to 5%. Such compositions can be prepared by reaction conditions and purification methods known in the art. For example, conjugates can be separated using cation exchange chromatography, and then fractions containing conjugates with a desired number of attached PEGs can be identified and purified to exclude unmodified protein sequences and conjugates with other numbers of attached PEGs.
[0338] PEG can be attached to the polypeptides of this disclosure via terminal reactive groups (spacers). These spacers are, for example, terminal reactive groups that mediate the binding between free amino or carboxyl groups of one or more polypeptide sequences and polyethylene glycol. An example of a PEG having a spacer that can be attached to a free amino group is N-hydroxysuccinimide polyethylene glycol, which can be prepared by activating the succinate ester of polyethylene glycol with N-hydroxysuccinimide. Another activated polyethylene glycol that can be attached to a free amino group is 2,4-bis(O-methoxypolyethylene glycol)-6-chloro-s-triazine, which can be prepared by reacting polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether with cyanuryl chloride. An example of an activated polyethylene glycol that can be attached to a free carboxyl group is polyoxyethylenediamine.
[0339] Conjugation of one or more polypeptide sequences of the present disclosure onto PEGs having spacers can be carried out by various conventional methods. For example, this conjugation reaction can be carried out in solution at a pH of 5 to 10, a temperature of 4°C to room temperature, and for 30 minutes to 20 hours, using a reagent-to-protein molar ratio of 4:1 to 30:1. The reaction conditions can be selected to lead the reaction to primarily produce a desired degree of substitution. Generally, lower temperatures, lower pH (pH=5), and shorter reaction times tend to result in a decrease in the number of attached PEGs, while higher temperatures, neutral to high pH (e.g., pH>7), and longer reaction times tend to increase the number of attached PEGs. This reaction can be stopped using various means known in the art. In some embodiments, the reaction mixture is used. This reaction can be stopped by acidifying the solution and freezing it, for example, at -20°C.
[0340] This disclosure also intends to explore the use of PEG mimics. Recombinant PEG mimics have been developed that confer several more advantageous properties while retaining the characteristics of PEG (e.g., extended serum half-life). As an example, simple polypeptide chains (e.g., including Ala, Glu, Gly, Pro, Ser, and Thr) that can form an extended higher-order structure similar to PEG, already fused to the peptide or protein drug of interest, can be produced by recombinant (e.g., Amunix'XTEN technology; Mountain View, CA). This eliminates the need for additional conjugation steps in the manufacturing process. Furthermore, established molecular biotechnologies allow for control of the side-chain composition of the polypeptide chain, enabling optimization of immunogenicity and manufacturing properties.
[0341] For the purposes of this disclosure, “glycosylation” means broadly the enzymatic process of attaching glycans to proteins, lipids, or other organic molecules. The use of the term “glycosylation” in connection with this disclosure is generally intended to mean the addition or deletion of one or more carbohydrate moieties (by removing an underlying glycosylation site or by chemical and / or enzymatic means) and / or the addition of one or more glycosylation sites that may or may not be present in the natural sequence. In addition, the term includes qualitative changes in the glycosylation of natural proteins, involving changes in the properties and proportions of the various carbohydrate moieties present. Glycosylation can dramatically affect the physical properties of proteins and may also be important for protein stability, secretion, and intracellular localization. Proper glycosylation may be essential for biological activity. In fact, some eukaryotic genes, when expressed in bacteria lacking the cellular processes for glycosylation proteins (e.g., Escherichia coli), result in proteins that are recovered with little or no activity due to the lack of glycosylation.
[0342] The addition of glycosylation sites can be achieved by modifying the amino acid sequence. For example, polypeptides can be modified by adding or substituting one or more serine or threonine residues (in the case of O-linked glycosylation sites) or asparagine residues (in the case of N-linked glycosylation sites). The structures of N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides and sugar residues found in each type can differ. One type of sugar commonly found in both is N-acetylneuraminic acid (hereinafter referred to as sialic acid). Sialic acid is typically a terminal residue in both N-linked and O-linked oligosaccharides, and its negative charge can confer acidic properties to glycoproteins. Specific embodiments of this disclosure involve generating and using N-glycosylation variants.
[0343] The polypeptide sequences of this disclosure may be optionally modified by changes at the DNA level, specifically by mutating the DNA encoding the polypeptide with pre-selected bases so that codons that translate to desired amino acids are produced. Another means of increasing the number of carbohydrate moieties on the polypeptide is by chemical or enzymatic coupling of glycosides to the polypeptide.
[0344] Carbohydrate removal can be achieved chemically, enzymatically, or by substituting codons encoding the amino acid residues to be glycosylated. Chemical glycosylation techniques are known, and enzymatic cleavage of the carbohydrate portion on polypeptides can be achieved using various endoglycosidases and exoglycosidases.
[0345] Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are commonly used host cells for recombinant glycoprotein production. These cells do not express the enzyme beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase. Therefore, the sialic acid in the alpha-2,6-linking is not attached to the N-linked oligosaccharide of the glycoprotein produced in this cell.
[0346] This disclosure also envisions the use of polyacylation, which is the conjugation of peptides and proteins to naturally occurring biodegradable α-(2→8)-linked polysialic acid ("PSA"), to improve the stability and in vivo pharmacokinetics of peptides and proteins. PSA is a highly hydrophilic, biodegradable, non-toxic natural polymer that confers a large apparent molecular weight that extends the serum half-life in the blood. In addition, polysialation of various peptide and protein therapeutics significantly reduces proteolysis, preserves in vivo activity, and reduces immunogenicity and antigenicity (see, e.g., G. Gregoriadis et al., Int. J. Pharmaceuticals 300(1-2):125-30). Similar to modifications using other conjugates (e.g., PEG), various techniques for site-specific polysialation are available (see, for example, T. Lindhout et al., PNAS 108(18)7397-7402 (2011)).
[0347] Further suitable components and molecules for conjugation include, for example, thyroglobulin; albumin, e.g., human serum albumin (HAS); tetanus toxoid; diphtheria toxoid; polyamino acids, e.g., poly(D-lysine:D-glutamic acid); rotavirus VP6 polypeptide; influenza virus hemagglutinin, influenza virus nucleoprotein; keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH); and hepatitis B virus core protein and surface antigen; or any combination of the above.
[0348] The fusion of albumin to one or more polypeptides of this disclosure can be achieved, for example, by genetic engineering such that DNA or a fragment thereof encoding HSA is conjugated to DNA encoding one or more polypeptide sequences. A suitable host can then be transformed or transfected with the fusion nucleotide sequence, for example, in the form of a suitable plasmid, to express the fusion polypeptide. This expression may be achieved in vitro, for example, from prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, or in vivo, for example, from a genetically modified organism. In some embodiments of this disclosure, the expression of the fusion protein is carried out in a mammalian cell line (e.g., a CHO cell line). Transformation is used herein to refer to the genetic modification of a cell resulting from the direct uptake, integration, and expression of exogenous genetic material (exogenous DNA) taken in from around the cell and through the cell membrane. Transformation occurs spontaneously in some bacterial species, but can also be achieved by artificial means in other cells.
[0349] Furthermore, albumin itself can be modified to extend its cyclic half-life. Fusion of modified albumin to one or more polypeptides can be achieved by the genetic engineering techniques described above or by chemical conjugation, and the resulting fusion molecule will have a half-life exceeding that of the fusion with unmodified albumin (see International Publication No. 2011 / 051489).
[0350] As an alternative to direct fusion, several albumin-binding strategies have been developed, such as albumin binding (acylation) via conjugated fatty acid chains. Since serum albumin is a fatty acid transport protein, these natural ligands with albumin-binding activity are used to extend the half-life of small protein therapeutics. For example, insulin detemir (LEVEMIR), an approved product for diabetes, contains a myristyl chain conjugated to genetically modified insulin, resulting in an insulin analog that acts over a long period.
[0351] Another type of modification involves conjugating (e.g., linking) one or more additional components or molecules, or carrier molecules, at the N-terminus and / or C-terminus of a polypeptide sequence, such as another protein (e.g., a protein with an amino acid sequence heterogeneous to the target protein). Thus, exemplary polypeptide sequences can be generated as conjugates with other components or molecules.
[0352] Conjugate modification may result in polypeptide sequences that retain activity with further or complementary functions or activities of a second molecule. For example, a polypeptide can be conjugated to a molecule to enhance, for instance, solubility, storage, in vivo or storage half-life or stability, reduced immunogenicity, delayed or controlled in vivo release, etc. Other functions or activities include conjugates that reduce toxicity to unconjugated polypeptide sequences, conjugates that target a single cell or organ more efficiently than unconjugated polypeptide sequences, or drugs that further counteract the causes or effects associated with the disorders or diseases described herein (e.g., diabetes).
[0353] Polypeptides can also be conjugated to large, slowly metabolized macromolecules such as proteins; polysaccharides such as Sepharose, agarose, cellulose, and cellulose beads; polymeric amino acids such as polyglutamic acid and polylysine; amino acid copolymers; inactivated viral particles; inactivated bacterial toxins such as diphtheria, tetanus, cholera, and toxins from leukotoxin molecules; inactivated bacteria; and dendritic cells.
[0354] Further candidate components and molecules for conjugation include those suitable for isolation or purification. Specific, non-limiting examples include binding molecules, such as biotin (biotin-avidin specific binding pairs), antibodies, receptors, ligands, lectins, or molecules containing solid supports (e.g., plastic or polystyrene beads, plates or beads, magnetic beads, test pieces, and membranes).
[0355] Conjugates can be separated by charge differences, efficiently separating them into their various molecular weights using purification methods such as cation exchange chromatography. For example, a cation exchange column can be packed, then washed with -20 mM sodium acetate at pH -4, and then eluted with a linear (0 M to 0.5 M) NaCl gradient buffered at approximately 3 to 5.5 pH (e.g., pH -4.5). The contents of the fraction obtained by cation exchange chromatography can be identified by molecular weight using conventional methods, such as mass spectrometry, SDS-PAGE, or other known methods for separating molecular entities by molecular weight.
[0356] In certain embodiments, the amino-terminus or carboxyl-terminus of the polypeptide sequence of this disclosure can be fused with an immunoglobulin Fc region (e.g., human Fc) to form a fusion conjugate (or fusion molecule). Fc fusion conjugates have been shown to extend the systemic half-life of biologics, and therefore, biologic products may not require frequent administration.
[0357] Fc binds to neonatal Fc receptors (FcRn) in endothelial cells lining blood vessels. Upon binding, the Fc fusion molecule is protected from degradation and re-released into circulation, allowing it to remain in circulation for a longer period. This Fc binding is thought to be the mechanism by which endogenous IgG maintains its long plasma half-life. More recent Fc fusion technologies ligate a single copy of a biopharmaceutical to the Fc region of an antibody, optimizing the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of the biopharmaceutical compared to conventional Fc fusion conjugates.
[0358] This disclosure is intended to improve one or more specific aspects that are currently known or will be developed in the future. The use of other modifications of the lipeptides is intended. One such method for extending the cyclic half-life, increasing stability, decreasing clearance, or modifying the immunogenicity or allergenicity of the polypeptides of this disclosure includes modification of the polypeptide sequence by hesylation, utilizing a hydroxyethyl starch derivative linked to another molecule to alter the properties of the molecule. Various forms of hesylation are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007 / 0134197 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2006 / 0258607.
[0359] In vitro peptide / polypeptide synthesis Proteins or peptides can be prepared by any technique known to those skilled in the art, including the expression of proteins, polypeptides, or peptides by standard molecular biological techniques, the isolation of proteins or peptides from natural sources, in vitro translation, or the chemical synthesis of proteins or peptides. Nucleotide and protein, polypeptide, and peptide sequences corresponding to various genes have already been disclosed and can be found in computerized databases known to those skilled in the art. One such database is the Genbank and GenPept databases of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, available on the National Institutes of Health website. The coding regions of known genes can be amplified and / or expressed using the techniques disclosed herein or as would be known to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, various commercially available protein, polypeptide, and peptide preparations are known to those skilled in the art.
[0360] Peptides can be easily synthesized chemically using reagents that do not contain contaminating bacteria or animal substances (Merrifield RB: "Solid phase peptide synthesis. I. The synthesis of tetrapeptides"). (Synthesis of a tetrapeptide). J.Am.Chem.Soc.85:2149-54,1963). In certain embodiments, neoantigen peptides are prepared by (1) parallel solid-phase synthesis in a multi-channel instrument using homogeneous synthesis and cleavage conditions; (2) purification by column stripping on an RP-HPLC column and rewashing between peptides, but without exchange; followed by (3) analysis by a limited set of assays with the highest informational value. A Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) footprint can be defined for a set of peptides for an individual patient, and thus a suite switching procedure is only required between peptide synthesis for different patients.
[0361] Alternatively, the neoantigen peptide may be prepared in vitro using a nucleic acid (e.g., polynucleotide) encoding the neoantigen peptide of the present invention. The polynucleotide may be, for example, DNA, cDNA, PNA, CNA, RNA, single-stranded and / or double-stranded, or a natural or stabilized form of polynucleotide, such as a polynucleotide having a phosphorothioate backbone, or a combination thereof, and may or may not contain introns, insofar as it encodes a peptide. In one embodiment, the peptide is prepared by in vitro translation. Many exemplary systems are available to those skilled in the art (e.g., Retic Lysate IVT Kit, Life Technologies, Waltham, MA).
[0362] Expression vectors capable of expressing polypeptides can also be prepared. Expression vectors for various cell types are well known in the art and can be selected without excessive experimentation. Generally, DNA is inserted into an expression vector, such as a plasmid, with the appropriate orientation and correct reading frame for expression. If necessary, the DNA may be ligated to appropriate transcriptional and translational regulatory nucleotide sequences recognized by the desired host (e.g., bacteria), however such regulation is generally available in the expression vector. The vector is then introduced into a host bacterium for cloning using standard techniques (e.g., Sa See mbrook et al. (1989) Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY).
[0363] Expression vectors containing isolated polynucleotides, as well as host cells containing the expression vectors, are also intended. Neoantigen peptides may be provided in the form of RNA or cDNA molecules encoding the desired neoantigen peptide. One or more neoantigen peptides of the present invention may be provided by a single expression vector.
[0364] The term "polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide" encompasses polynucleotides containing only the coding sequence of a polypeptide, as well as polynucleotides containing further coding and / or non-coding sequences. Polynucleotides may be in the form of RNA or DNA. DNA includes cDNA, genomic DNA, and synthetic DNA; it may be double-stranded or single-stranded, and in the case of single-stranded, it may be a coding strand or a non-coding strand (antisense strand).
[0365] In embodiments, the polynucleotide may include a coding sequence of a tumor-specific neoantigen peptide fused in the same reading frame as a polynucleotide that assists in the expression and / or secretion of polypeptides from host cells (e.g., a leader sequence that functions as a secretory sequence to control the transport of polypeptides from cells). The polypeptide having the leader sequence is a preprotein and may have a leader sequence that is cleaved by host cells to form a mature polypeptide.
[0366] In embodiments, the polynucleotide may include a coding sequence for a tumor-specific neoantigen peptide fused in the same reading frame to a marker sequence, for example, enabling the purification of the encoded polypeptide so that it can then be incorporated into a personalized neobiotic vaccine or immunogenic composition. For example, the marker sequence may be a hexahistidine tag supplied by a pQE-9 vector that provides purification of a mature polypeptide fused with the marker in the case of a bacterial host, or the marker sequence may be a hemagglutinin (HA) tag derived from influenza hemagglutinin protein when a mammalian host (e.g., COS-7 cells) is used. Further tags, though not limited to them, include calmodulin tags, FLAG tags, Myc tags, S tags, SBP tags, Softag 1, Softag 3, V5 tags, Xpress tags, Isopep tags, SpyTag, biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) tags, GST tags, fluorescent protein tags (e.g., green fluorescent protein tags), maltose-binding protein tags, Nus tags, Strep tags, thioredoxin tags, TC tags, and Ty tags.
[0367] In one embodiment, the polynucleotide may comprise one or more coding sequences of tumor-specific neoantigen peptides fused in the same reading frame to create a single concatemerized neoantigen peptide construct having the ability to produce multiple neoantigen peptides.
[0368] In certain embodiments, isolated nucleic acid molecules can be provided that have a nucleotide sequence that is at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to the polynucleotide encoding the tumor-specific neoantigen peptide of the present invention.
[0369] A polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence that is at least, for example, 95% "identical" to a reference nucleotide sequence is defined as the nucleotide sequence of the polynucleotide being, with respect to the reference sequence, poly The nucleotide sequence is intended to be identical to that of the reference nucleotide sequence, except that it may contain up to 5 point mutations per 100 nucleotides. In other words, to obtain a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence that is at least 95% identical to the reference nucleotide sequence, up to 5% of the nucleotides in the reference sequence may be deleted or substituted with other nucleotides, or up to 5% of the total nucleotides in the reference sequence may be inserted into the reference sequence. These mutations in the reference sequence may exist individually scattered among the nucleotides in the reference sequence, or as one or more adjacent clusters within the reference sequence, at the amino-terminus or carboxyl-terminus of the reference nucleotide sequence, or somewhere between those terminal positions.
[0370] In practice, whether any particular nucleic acid molecule is at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, and in some embodiments at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to a reference sequence can be determined conventionally using known computer programs such as the Bestfit program (Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package, version 8 Unix version, Genetics Computer Group, University Research Park, 575 Science Drive, Madison, WI 53711). Bestfit uses the local homology algorithm of Smith and Waterman, Advances in Applied Mathematics 2:482-489 (1981) to find the best homology segment between two sequences. When using Bestfit or any other sequence alignment program to determine whether a particular sequence is, for example, 95% identical to a reference sequence according to the present invention, the parameters are set such that the percentage of identity is calculated over the entire length of the reference nucleotide sequence, and a homology gap of up to 5% of the total number of nucleotides in the reference sequence is permitted.
[0371] The isolated tumor-specific neoantigen peptides described herein can be produced in vitro (e.g., in the laboratory) by any preferred method known in the art. Such methods range from direct protein synthesis to constructing DNA sequences encoding isolated polypeptide sequences and expressing those sequences in a suitable transforming host. In some embodiments, the DNA sequences are constructed by isolating or synthesizing DNA sequences encoding the wild-type protein of interest using recombination techniques. In some cases, site-directed mutagenesis may be used to induce mutations in the sequences and provide functional analogs. For example, Zoeller et al., Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA. See 81:5662-5066 (1984) and U.S. Patent Nos. 4,588,585.
[0372] In embodiments, the DNA sequence encoding the target polypeptide can be constructed by chemical synthesis using an oligonucleotide synthesizer. Such oligonucleotides can be designed based on the amino acid sequence of the desired polypeptide and by selecting codons preferred by the host cell producing the recombinant polypeptide of the target. Standard methods can be applied to the synthesis of the isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding the target isolated polypeptide. For example, a back-translated gene can be constructed using the complete amino acid sequence. Furthermore, DNA oligomers containing nucleotide sequences encoding a specific isolated polypeptide can be synthesized. For example, several small oligonucleotides encoding a portion of the desired polypeptide can be synthesized and then ligated. Individual oligonucleotides typically include a 5' or 3' overhang for complementary assembly.
[0373] After assembly (e.g., by synthesis, site-directed mutagenesis, or other method), the polynucleotide sequence encoding the specific isolated polypeptide of interest is inserted into the expression vector. The gene is then operably ligated to an expression regulatory sequence suitable for the expression of the protein in the desired host. The suitability of the assembly can be confirmed by nucleotide sequencing, restriction enzyme mapping, and expression of a biologically active polypeptide in a suitable host. As is well known in the art, to achieve high expression levels of the transfected gene in the host, the gene can be operably ligated to transcriptional and translational expression regulatory sequences that function in a selected expression host.
[0374] Recombinant expression vectors may be used to amplify and express DNA encoding tumor-specific neoantigen peptides. Recombinant expression vectors are replicable DNA constructs comprising synthetic or cDNA-derived DNA fragments encoding tumor-specific neoantigen peptides or bioequivalent analogs, operably linked to suitable transcriptional or translational regulatory elements derived from mammalian, microbial, viral, or insect genes. A transcriptional unit generally comprises an assembly of (1) one or more gene elements having a regulatory role in gene expression, e.g., a transcription promoter or enhancer; (2) a structural or coding sequence transcribed to mRNA and translated to a protein; and (3) appropriate transcriptional and translational initiation and termination sequences, as further described herein. Such regulatory elements may include operator sequences that control transcription. Selective genes for promoting host replication ability (usually conferred by the origin of replication) and recognition of transformants may be further incorporated. DNA regions are operably linked when they are functionally related to one another. For example, the DNA of a signal peptide (secretion leader) is operably ligated to the polypeptide DNA if it is expressed as a precursor involved in polypeptide secretion; a promoter is operably ligated to a coding sequence if it controls the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably ligated to a coding sequence if it is located in a position that enables translation. Generally, operably ligated means adjacent, and in the case of a secretion leader, it means adjacent and in the leading frame. Structural elements intended for use in yeast expression systems include leader sequences that enable extracellular secretion of translated proteins by the host cell. Alternatively, if a recombinant protein is expressed without a leader or transport sequence, it may include an N-terminal methionine residue. In some cases, the final product may be obtained by subsequent cleavage of this residue from the expressed recombinant protein.
[0375] Examples of expression vectors useful for eukaryotic hosts, particularly mammals or humans, include vectors containing expression regulatory sequences derived from SV40, bovine papillomavirus, adenovirus, and cytomegalovirus. Examples of expression vectors useful for bacterial hosts include known bacterial plasmids, such as plasmids derived from Escherichia coli including pCR 1, pBR322, and pMB9, and their derivatives, as well as plasmids with a broader host range, such as M13 and filamentous single-stranded DNA phages.
[0376] Suitable host cells for polypeptide expression include prokaryotic cells, yeast cells, insect cells, or higher eukaryotic cells under the control of an appropriate promoter. Prokaryotes include Gram-negative or Gram-positive organisms, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Bacillus species. Higher eukaryotic cells include established cell lines of mammalian origin. Cell-free translation systems can also be used. Cloning and expression vectors suitable for use in bacterial, fungal, yeast, and mammalian cell hosts are well known in the art (Pouwels). (See et al., Cloning Vectors: A Laboratory Manual, Elsevier, NY, 1985)
[0377] Various mammalian or insect cell culture systems can also be used to express recombinant proteins, which is advantageous. Recombinant protein expression in mammalian cells is possible because such proteins are generally correctly folded, appropriately modified, and fully functional. Suitable mammalian host cell lines include the COS-7 line of monkey kidney cells described by Gluzman (Cell 23:175, 1981), as well as other cell lines with the ability to express appropriate vectors, such as L cells, C127, 3T3, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), 293, HeLa, and BHK cell lines. Mammalian expression vectors may include non-transcription elements, such as origins of replication, suitable promoters and enhancers linked to the gene to be expressed, as well as other 5' or 3' flanking non-transcription sequences and 5' or 3' untranslated sequences, such as essential ribosome binding sites, polyadenylation sites, splice donor / receptor sites, and transcription termination sequences. Baculovirus systems for producing heterologous proteins in insect cells have been reviewed by Luckow and Summers, Bio / Technology 6:47 (1988).
[0378] Proteins produced by transformed hosts can be purified by any preferred method. Such standard methods include chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity and size exclusion column chromatography), centrifugation, solubility differential chromatography, or any other standard protein purification technique. Attaching affinity tags, such as hexahistidine, maltose-binding domains, influenza coat sequences, or glutathione-S-transferase, to the protein may allow for easy purification by passing it through a suitable affinity column. Isolated proteins can also be physically characterized using techniques such as proteolysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, and X-ray crystallography.
[0379] For example, the supernatant from a system that secretes recombinant protein into culture medium can first be concentrated using a commercially available protein concentration filter, such as an Amicon or Millipore Pellicon ultrafiltration unit. After the concentration step, the concentrate can be added to a suitable purification matrix. Alternatively, an anion exchange resin, such as a matrix or substrate having pendant diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) groups, can be used. The matrix may be acrylamide, agarose, dextran, cellulose, or other types commonly used in protein purification. Alternatively, a cation exchange step can be used. Suitable cation exchangers include various insoluble matrices containing sulfopropyl or carboxymethyl groups. Finally, the cancer stem cell protein-Fc composition can be further purified using one or more reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) steps using a hydrophobic RP-HPLC medium, such as silica gel having pendant methyl or other aliphatic groups. Some or all of the above purification steps can also be used in various combinations to provide a homogeneous recombinant protein.
[0380] Recombinant proteins produced in bacterial cultures can be isolated, for example, by first extracting them from a cell pellet, followed by one or more concentration, salting out, and performing a water-soluble ion exchange or size exclusion chromatography step. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) may be used for the final purification step. Microbial cells used for recombinant protein expression can be destroyed by any convenient method, including freeze-thaw cycling, sonication, mechanical disruption, or the use of cell lysis agents.
[0381] In vivo peptide / polypeptide synthesis The present invention also intends to use nucleic acid molecules as a medium for delivering neoantigen peptides / polypeptides in vivo to targets that require them, for example, in the form of DNA / RNA vaccines (see, for example, International Publication No. 2012 / 159643 and International Publication No. 2012 / 159754, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety herein).
[0382] In one embodiment, the neoantigen is administered to a patient who needs it using a plasmid. These can be administered. These are plasmids that typically consist of a potent viral promoter and drive in vivo transcription and translation of the target gene (or complementary DNA) (Mor, et al., (1995). The Journal of Immunology 155(4):2039-2046). Sometimes, intron A may be included to improve mRNA stability and, consequently, increase protein expression (Leitner et al., (1997). The Journal of Immunology 159(12):6112-6119). Plasmids also contain potent polyadenylation / transcription termination signals such as bovine growth hormone or rabbit β-globulin polyadenylation sequences (Alarcon et al.,(1999).Adv.Parasitol.Advances in Parasitology 42:343-410; Robinson et al., (2000). Adv. Virus Res. Advances in Virus Research 55:1-74; Boehmet al., (1996). Journal of Immunological Methods 193(1):29-40). Sometimes, multicistron vectors are constructed to express two or more immunogens, or to express an immunogen and an immunostimulatory protein (Lewis et al., (1999). Advances in Virus Research (Academic Press) 54:129-88).
[0383] Since plasmids are the "vegetation" from which immunogens are expressed, optimizing vector design to maximize protein expression is essential (Lewis et al., (1999). Advances in Virus Research (Academic Press) 54:129-88). One way to enhance protein expression is to optimize the codon usage frequency of pathogenic mRNA for eukaryotic cells. Another consideration is the selection of promoters. Such promoters may be the SV40 promoter or Roussarcoma virus (RSV).
[0384] Plasmids can be introduced into animal tissues by several different methods. The two most common methods are injection of DNA in saline using a standard subcutaneous needle and gene gun delivery. A basic outline of the construction of DNA vaccine plasmids and their subsequent delivery to the host by these two methods is published in Scientific American (Weiner). As shown in et al., (1999) Scientific American 281(1):34-41), injection in saline is usually performed intramuscularly (IM) or intradermally (ID) in skeletal muscle, and DNA is delivered into the extracellular space. This can be done by electroporation, by transiently damaging muscle fibers with a myotoxin such as bupivacaine, or by using a hypertonic solution of saline or sucrose (Alarcon et al., (1999). Adv. Parasitol. Advances in Parasitology 42:343-410). The immune response to this delivery method can be influenced by many factors, including needle type, needle positioning, injection speed, injection volume, muscle type, and the age, sex, and physiological condition of the animal receiving the injection (Alarcon et al., (1999). Adv. Parasitol. Advances in Parasitology 42:343-410).
[0385] Another commonly used delivery method, gene gun delivery, involves ballistically accelerating plasmid DNA (pDNA) adsorbed onto gold or tungsten microparticles using compressed helium as an accelerator, and then delivering it into target cells (Alarcon et al., (1999). Adv. Parasitol. Advances in Parasitology 42:343-410; Lewis et al., (1999). Advances in Virus Research (Academic Press) 54:129-88).
[0386] Alternative delivery methods include aerosol administration of naked DNA to mucosal surfaces such as the nasal and pulmonary mucosa (Lewis et al., (1999). Advances in Virus Research (Academic Press) 54:129-88), and topical administration of pDNA to the ocular and vaginal mucosa (Lewis et al., (1999) Advances in Virus Research (Academic Press) 54:129-88). Examples include Press)54:129-88). Mucosal surface delivery has also been achieved using cationic liposome-DNA preparations, biodegradable microspheres, attenuated Shigella or Listeria vectors for oral administration to the intestinal mucosa, and recombinant adenovirus vectors. DNA or RNA can also be delivered to cells after mild mechanical disruption of the cell membrane that makes the cell permeable. Such mild mechanical disruption of the membrane can be achieved by gently pushing the cell through a small opening ("Ex Vivo Cytosolic Delivery of Functional Macromolecules to Immune Cells"). Macromolecules to Immune Cells)”,Sharei et al,PLOS ONE|DOI:10.1371 / journal.pone.0118803 April 13,2015).
[0387] The amount of DNA required to produce an effective immune response depends on the delivery method. Saline injection requires various amounts of DNA, ranging from 10 μg to 1 mg, while gene gun delivery requires only 1 / 100 to 1 / 1000th the amount of DNA needed for intramuscular saline injection to produce an effective immune response. Generally, 0.2 μg to 20 μg is required, although amounts as small as 16 ng have also been reported. These amounts vary by species; for example, mice require about one-tenth the amount of DNA required by primates. In saline injection, DNA is delivered to the extracellular space of the target tissue (usually muscle), where it must overcome physical barriers (to name a few, such as the basement membrane and a large amount of connective tissue) before being taken up by the cell, thus requiring more DNA. In contrast, gene gun delivery injects DNA directly into the cell, thus reducing "waste" (e.g., Sedegah et al.,(1994). Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 91(21):9866-9870; Daheshia et al.,(1997). The Journal of Immunology 159(4):1945-1952; Chen et al.,(1998). The Journal of Immunology 160(5):2425-2432; Sizemore(1995) Science 270(5234):299-302; Fynan et al. See al., (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90(24):11478-82.
[0388] In one embodiment, the neobiotic vaccine or immunogenic composition may comprise a separate DNA plasmid encoding one or more neoantigen peptides / polypeptides, as identified, for example, according to the present invention. As discussed herein, the precise selection of the expression vector can depend on the peptide / polypeptide to be expressed and is well within the scope of the art. The expected persistence of the DNA construct (e.g., an episomal, non-replicating, non-integrated form in muscle cells) is expected to result in an increased duration of protection.
[0389] One or more neoantigen peptides of the present invention may be encoded and expressed in vivo using a virus-based system (e.g., an adenovirus system, an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, a poxvirus, or a lentivirus). In one embodiment, the neobiotic vaccine or immunogenic composition may include a virus-based vector used in a human patient in need of it, such as an adenovirus (e.g., Baden et al. "Recombinant adenovirus serotype 26 HIV-1 Env vaccine (IP)" First-in-human evaluation of the safety and immunogenicity of CAVD 001) immunogenicity of a recombinant adenovirus serotype 26 HIV-1 Env vaccine(IPCAVD See 001))''.J Infect Dis.2013 Jan 15;207(2):240-7 (incorporated herein by reference in whole). Plasmids that can be used for adeno-associated viruses, adenoviruses, and lentivirus delivery have been previously described (see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,955,808 and 6,943,019, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20080254008 (incorporated herein by reference)).
[0390] The peptides and polypeptides of the present invention can also be expressed using vectors, such as nucleic acid molecules considered herein, such as RNA or DNA plasmids, viral vectors, such as poxviruses, such as orthopoxvirus, avipoxvirus, or adenovirus, AAV, or lentivirus. This method involves the use of a vector to express the nucleotide sequence encoding the peptides of the present invention. When introduced into acutely or chronically infected or uninfected hosts, the vector expresses immunogenic peptides, thereby inducing a host CTL response.
[0391] Among the vectors that can be used in carrying out the present invention, retroviral gene transfer methods can be integrated into the host genome of cells and, in many cases, result in long-term expression of the inserted trans gene. In preferred embodiments, the retrovirus is a lentivirus. In addition, high transduction efficiency has been observed in many different cell types and target tissues. The tropism of the retrovirus can be altered by introducing exogenous envelope proteins, thereby expanding the potential target population of target cells. Retroviruses can also be manipulated to enable conditional expression of the inserted trans gene, thus allowing only specific cell types to be infected with the lentivirus. Expression in specific cell types can be targeted using cell type-specific promoters. Lentiviral vectors are retroviral vectors (and thus both lentiviral vectors and retroviral vectors can be used in carrying out the present invention). Furthermore, lentiviral vectors are preferred because they can transduce or infect non-dividing cells and typically produce high viral titers. Therefore, the selection of retroviral gene transfer systems may depend on the target tissue. Retroviral vectors contain a cis-acting long-terminal repeat sequence with the ability to package exogenous sequences up to 6-10 kb. A minimal cis-acting LTR is sufficient for vector replication and packaging, and this is then used to incorporate the desired nucleic acid into target cells, resulting in persistent expression.Widely used retroviral vectors that can be used in carrying out the present invention include those based on mouse leukemia virus (MuLV), gibbon leukemia virus (GaLV), simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and combinations thereof (see, for example, Buchscher et al., (1992) J.Virol.66:2731-2739; Johann et al., (1992) J.Virol.66:1635-1640; Sommnerfelt et al., (1990) Virol.176:58-59; Wilson et al., (1998) J.Virol.63:2374-2378; Miller et al., (1991) J.Virol.65:2220-2224; and PCT / US94 / 05700).
[0392] Furthermore, in implementing the present invention, minimal non-primate lentiviral vectors, such as lentiviral vectors based on equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), are also useful (e.g., Balagaan, (2006) J Gene Med; 8:275-285, online publication 21 November 2005 in Wiley InterSc). See ience (www.interscience.wiley.com).DOI:10.1002 / jgm.845. This vector may have a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter that drives the expression of a target gene. Accordingly, the present invention intends to include viral vectors, particularly retroviral vectors and lentiviral vectors, among vectors useful in carrying out the present invention.
[0393] Lentiviral vectors have been disclosed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. See, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20120295960, as well as U.S. Patent Nos. 7303910 and 7351585. Lentiviral vectors have also been disclosed with respect to delivery to the brain. See, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20110293571; 20040013648, 20070025970, 20090111106, and U.S. Patent No. 7259015. In another embodiment, a lentiviral vector is used to deliver the vector to the brain of a subject being treated for a disease.
[0394] Regarding lentiviral vector systems useful in the practice of the present invention, reference is made to U.S. Patent Nos. 6428953, 6165782, 6013516, 5994136, 6312682, and 7,198,784, as well as the documents cited therein.
[0395] In one embodiment of the present specification, this delivery is by lentivirus. Zou et al. administered approximately 10 μl of recombinant lentivirus having a titer of 1 × 10 9 transducing units (TU) / ml by an intrathecal catheter. This type of dosage can be adapted or estimated for use of retroviruses or lentiviral vectors in the present invention. For transduction in tissues such as the brain, very small amounts are required, so the virus preparation is concentrated by ultracentrifugation. The resulting preparation should have at least 10 8 TU / ml, preferably 10 8 -~10 9 TU / ml, more preferably at least 10 9 TU / ml. Other concentration methods such as ultrafiltration or binding to a matrix and elution from the matrix may also be used.
[0396] In other embodiments, the amount of lentivirus administered is 1 × 10⁻¹⁶ as the total single dose for an average human weighing 75 kg, or as a total single dose adjusted according to the weight, size, and type of the subject. 5 Alternatively, approximately 1 x 10 5 Plaque-forming units (PFUs), 5 × 10 5 Or approximately 5 x 10 5 PFU, 1×10 6 Alternatively, approximately 1 x 10 6 PFU, 5x10 6 Or approximately 5 x 10 6 PFU, 1×10 7 Alternatively, approximately 1 x 10 7 PFU, 5x10 7 Or approximately 5 x 10 7 PFU, 1×10 8 Alternatively, approximately 1 x 10 8 PFU, 5x10 8 Or approximately 5 x 10 8 PFU, 1×10 9 Alternatively, approximately 1 x 10 9 PFU, 5x10 9 Or approximately 5 x 10 9 PFU, 1×10 10 Alternatively, approximately 1 x 10 10 PFU or 5×10 10 Or approximately 5 x 10 10 It can be a PFU. A person skilled in the art can determine the appropriate dosage. In the case of a virus, the appropriate dosage can be determined empirically.
[0397] Adenovirus vectors are also useful in carrying out the present invention. One advantage is that recombinant adenoviruses can efficiently transfer and express recombinant genes in various mammalian cells and tissues in vitro and in vivo, resulting in high expression of the transferred nucleic acids. Furthermore, their ability to productively infect quiescent cells expands the usefulness of recombinant adenovirus vectors. In addition, they ensure the expression of nucleic acid products at high expression levels, sufficient to produce an immune response (see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 7,029,848, incorporated herein by reference).
[0398] Regarding adenovirus vectors useful in carrying out the present invention, U.S. Patent No. 6,95 Specification No. 5,808 is mentioned. The adenovirus vector used can be selected from the group consisting of Ad5, Ad35, Ad11, C6, and C7 vectors. The sequence of the adenovirus 5 ("Ad5") genome is publicly available (Chroboczek, J., Bieber, F., and Jacrot, B. (1992) "The Sequence of the Genome of Adenovirus 5 and Comparison thereof with the Genome of Adenovirus 2"). "Genome of Adenovirus Type 5 and Its Comparison with the Genome of Adenovirus Type 2"), Virology 186, 280-285 (the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference). The Ad35 vector is described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,974,695, 6,913,922 and 6,869,794. The Ad11 vector is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,913,922. The C6 adenovirus vector is described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,780,407; 6,537,594; 6,309,647; 6,265,189; 6,156,567; 6,090,393; 5,942,235 and 5,833,975. The C7 vector is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,277,558. Adenovirus vectors that are E1-deficient or deleted, E3-deficient or deleted, and / or E4-deficient or deleted may also be used. Certain adenoviruses with mutations in the E1 region have improved safety margins because E1-deficient adenovirus mutants are replication-deficient or at least highly attenuated in non-permissible cells. Adenoviruses with mutations in the E3 region may have enhanced immunogenicity due to disruption of the mechanism by which adenoviruses downregulate MHC class I molecules. Adenoviruses with E4 mutations may have lower immunogenicity of adenovirus vectors due to suppression of late gene expression. Such vectors can be particularly useful when repeated revaccination using the same vector is desired. Adenovirus vectors with E1, E3, E4, E1 and E3, and E1 and E4 deletions or mutations may be used in accordance with the present invention. Furthermore, "gutless" adenovirus vectors, in which all viral genes are deleted, can also be used in accordance with the present invention.Such vectors require a helper virus for replication and a specific human 293 cell line expressing both E1a and Cre, conditions not found in the natural environment. Such "gutless" vectors are non-immunogenic and can therefore be administered multiple times for revaccination. "Gutless" adenovirus vectors can be used for the insertion of heterologous inserts / genes, such as the trans gene of the present invention, and can also be used for the co-delivery of multiple heterologous inserts / genes.
[0399] In one embodiment of this specification, delivery is via adenovirus, and the adenovirus is at least 1 × 10 5 It may be a single booster dose containing a particle (particle unit, also referred to as pu) adenovirus vector. In some embodiments herein, the dose is preferably at least about 1 × 10⁻⁶ 6 Particles (for example, about 1 × 10⁻⁶) 6 ~1 × 10 12 Particles), more preferably at least about 1 × 10 7 Particles, more preferably at least about 1 × 10⁻¹⁶ 8 Particles (for example, about 1 × 10⁻⁶) 8 ~1 × 10 11 Particles or approximately 1 × 10⁻⁶ 8 ~1 × 10 12 Particles), and most preferably at least about 1 × 10 9 Particles (for example, about 1 × 10⁻⁶) 9 ~1 × 10 10 Particles or approximately 1 × 10⁻⁶ 9 ~1 × 10 12 Particles), or even at least about 1 × 10⁻¹⁶ 10 Particles (for example, about 1 × 10⁻⁶) 10 ~1 × 10 12 It is an adenovirus vector (particle). Alternatively, the dose is approximately 1 × 10⁻⁶. 14 Less than a particle, preferably about 1 × 10⁻¹⁶ 13 Less than a particle, and more preferably about 1 × 10⁻¹⁶ 12 Less than a particle, and more preferably about 1 × 10⁻¹⁶ 11 Particles or smaller, and most preferably about 1 × 10⁻¹⁶ 10Smaller than a particle (for example, about 1 × 10⁻⁶) 9 It contains particles (articles or less). Therefore, the dose is, for example, about 1 × 10⁻⁶. 6 Particle unit (pu), approximately 2 x 10⁻⁶ 6 pu, approx. 4×10 6 pu, about 1×10 7 pu, approx. 2×10 7 pu, approx. 4×10 7 pu, about 1×10 8 pu, approx. 2×10 8 pu, approx. 4×10 8 pu, about 1×10 9 pu, approx. 2× 10 9 pu, approx. 4×10 9 pu, about 1×10 10 pu, approx. 2×10 10 pu, approx. 4×10 10 pu, about 1×10 11 pu, approx. 2×10 11 pu, approx. 4×10 11 pu, about 1×10 12 pu, approx. 2×10 12 PU, or approximately 4 x 10 12 This may include a single-dose adenovirus vector having a pu adenovirus vector. See, for example, the adenovirus vector of U.S. Patent No. 8,454,972 B2 granted to Nabel, et al. on 4 June 2013 (incorporated herein by reference), and the dosages in column 29, lines 36-58. In some embodiments herein, the adenovirus is delivered in multiple doses.
[0400] From an in vivo delivery perspective, AAV is advantageous compared to other viral vectors because it is less toxic due to not being integrated into the host genome and less likely to induce insertional mutagenesis. AAV has a packaging limit of 4.5 or 4.75 Kb. Viral production decreases significantly if the construct is larger than 4.5 or 4.75 Kb. Numerous promoters can be used to drive nucleic acid molecule expression. AAV ITR can act as a promoter and is advantageous because it does not require additional promoter elements. For ubiquitous expression, the following promoters can be used: CMV, CAG, CBh, PGK, SV40, ferritin heavy or light chain, etc. For expression in the brain, the following promoters can be used: synapsin I for any neuron, CaMKIIα for excitatory neurons, GAD67 or GAD65 or VGAT for GABAergic neurons, etc. Pol III promoters such as U6 or H1 can be used to drive RNA synthesis. Pol II promoters and intron cassettes can be used for guide RNA (gRNA) expression.
[0401] Regarding AAV vectors useful in carrying out the present invention, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,658,785, 7,115,391, 7172,893, 6953,690, 6936,466, 6924,128, 6893,865, 6793,926, 6537,540, 6475,769, and 6258,595, as well as the documents cited in these specifications, are referenced.
[0402] With respect to AAV, the AAV may be AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, or any combination thereof. The AAV can be selected in relation to the target cells; for example, for targeting brain or nerve cells, AAV serotype 1, 2, 5, or hybrid capsids AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, or any combination thereof can be selected; and for targeting heart tissue, AAV4 can be selected. AAV8 is useful for delivery to the liver. The above promoters and vectors are individually preferred.
[0403] In certain embodiments herein, delivery is via AAV. A therapeutically effective dosage for in vivo delivery of AAV to humans is about 1×10 10 ~ about 1×10 50 functional AAV / ml solution, which is considered to be in the range of about 20 to about 50 ml of saline. The dosage can be adjusted to balance the therapeutic benefit and any side effects. In certain embodiments herein, the AAV dosage is generally about 1×10 5 ~ 1×10 50 genomic AAV, about 1×10 8 ~ 1×10 20 genomic AAV, about 1×10 10 ~ about 1×10 16 genome, or about 1×10 11 ~ about 1×10 16 in the concentration range of genomic AAV. The human dosage can be about 1×10 13 genomic AAV. Such concentration can be delivered in a carrier solution of about 0.001 ml to about 100 ml, about 0.05 to about 50 ml, or about 10 to about 25 ml. In a preferred embodiment, AAV with a titer of about 2×10 13 virus genomes / milliliter is used, and each of the striatal hemispheres of the mouse receives a single 500 nanoliter injection. Other effective dosages can be readily established by routine tests of creating a dose-response curve by those skilled in the art . See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 8,404,658 B2 to Hajjar, et al., column 27, lines 45 - 60, issued March 26, 2013.
[0404] In another embodiment, effective activation of a cellular immune response to a neomicrobial vaccine or immunogenic composition can be achieved by the expression of relevant neoantigens in the vaccine or immunogenic composition in non-pathogenic microorganisms. Well-known examples of such microorganisms include Mycobacterium bovis (BCG), Salmonella, and Pseudomona (see U.S. Patent No. 6,991,797, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety).
[0405] In another embodiment, poxviruses are used in neoplastic vaccines or immunogenic compositions. Poxviruses include orthopoxvirus, avipox, vaccinia, MVA, NYVAC, canarypox, ALVAC, fowlpox, TROVAC, etc. (e.g., Verardiet al., Hum Vaccin Immunother. 2012). See Jul;8(7):961-70; and Moss, Vaccine. 2013;31(39):4220-4222). Poxvirus expression vectors were reported in 1982 and quickly became widely used in vaccine development and research in numerous fields. The advantages of this vector include its simple construction, ability to accommodate large amounts of foreign DNA, and high expression levels.

[0407] In another embodiment, vaccinia virus is used in a neoplastic vaccine or immunogenic composition to express a neoantigen (Rolph et al., "Recombinant viruses as vaccines and immunological tools," Curr Opin Immunol 9:517-524, 1997). Recombinant vaccinia virus has the ability to replicate in the cytoplasm of infected host cells, and thus the target polypeptide can induce an immune response. Furthermore, poxviruses are widely used as vaccine or immunogenic composition vectors because they can target encoded antigens for processing by the major histocompatibility complex class I pathway by directly infecting immune cells, particularly antigen-presenting cells, and because of their self-adjuvant ability.
[0408] In another embodiment, ALVAC is used as a vector in a neoplasm vaccine or immunogenic composition. ALVAC is a canarypox virus that can be modified to express an exogenous trans gene and is used as a method of vaccination against both prokaryotic and eukaryotic antigens (Horig H, Lee DS, Conkright W, et al. "Phase I clinical trial of a recombinant canarypoxvirus (ALVAC) vaccine expressing human carcinoembryonic antigen and the B7.1 co-stimulatory molecule" Cancer Immunol Immunother 2000;49:504-14; von Mehren M, Arlen P, Tsang KY, et al. "Pilot study of a dual gene recombinant Avipox vaccine containing both carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and B7.1 trans gene in patients with recurrent CEA-expressing adenocarcinoma" recombinant avipox vaccine containing both carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and B 7.1 transgenes in patients with recurrent CEA-expressing adenocarcinomas). Clin Cancer Res 2000;6:2219-28; Musey L, Ding Y, Elizaga M, et al. "HIV-1 vaccination administered intramuscularly can induce both systemic and mucosal T cell immunity in HIV-1 uninfected individuals." T cell immunity in HIV-1-uninfected individuals). J Immunol 2003;171:1094-101; Paoletti E. "Applications of pox virus vectors to vaccination: an update". Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1996;93:11349-53; U.S. Patent No. 7,255,862). In a Phase I clinical trial, ALVAC viruses expressing the tumor antigen CEA demonstrated a superior safety profile and resulted in an increased CEA-specific T cell response in selected patients; however, no objective clinical response was observed (Marshall JL, Hawkins MJ, Tsang KY, et al. "Phase I study in cancer patients of a replication-defective avipox recombinant vaccine that expresses human carcinoembryonic antigen". J Clin Oncol 1999;17:332-7).
[0409] In another embodiment, modified vaccinia ankara (MVA) virus can be used as a viral vector for neoantigen vaccines or immunogenic compositions. MVA is a member of the orthopoxvirus family and has been created by serially passage the Ankara strain of vaccinia virus (CVA) for approximately 570 generations in chicken embryonic fibroblasts (see Mayer, A., et al., Infection 3, 6-14, 1975 for a review). As a result of such passage, the resulting MVA virus contains 31 kilobases less genomic information compared to CVA and is highly host cell-restrictive (Meyer, H. et al., J. Gen. Virol. 72, 1031-1038, 1991). MVA is characterized by its extreme attenuation, i.e., reduced virulence or infectivity, but still retains excellent immunogenicity. When tested in various animal models, MVA has been proven nontoxic even in immunosuppressed individuals. Furthermore, MVA-BN(registered trademark)-HER2 is an immunotherapy candidate designed for the treatment of HER-2-positive breast cancer and is currently in clinical trials (Mandl et al., Cancer Immunol Immunother. Jan 2012;61(1):19-29). Methods for preparing and using recombinant MVA are described (see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,309,098 and 5,185,146, which are incorporated herein by reference).
[0410] In another embodiment, modified vaccinia virus Copenhagen strains, NYVAC, and NYVAC variants are used as vectors (see U.S. Patent No. 7,255,862; International Publication No. 95 / 30018; U.S. Patent Nos. 5,364,773 and 5,494,807 (referred to herein by reference in their entirety)).
[0411] In one embodiment, recombinant virus particles of a vaccine or immunogenic composition are administered to a patient who needs it. The dosage of the neoantigen expressed can be in the range of several micrograms to several hundred micrograms, for example, 5 - 500 μg. The vaccine or immunogenic composition can be administered in any amount suitable to achieve expression at such dosage levels. The virus particles can be administered to a patient who needs it in an amount of at least about 10 pfu, or can be transfected into cells; thus, the virus particles are preferably at least about 10 3.5 pfu to about 10 4 pfu and are administered to a patient who needs it, or infect cells or are transfected into cells; however, at least about 10 6 pfu can be administered to a patient who needs it, and a more preferred dosage can be at least about 10 8 pfu to about 10 7 [[ID= ())]]pfu and can be about 10 9 pfu. The dosage for NYVAC is applicable to ALVAC, MVA, MVA - BN, and avipox, such as canarypox and fowlpox.
[0412] Vaccine or immunogenic composition adjuvant An effective vaccine or immunogenic composition advantageously contains a potent adjuvant to elicit an immune response. As described herein, poly-ICLC, which is a TLR3 agonist and the RNA helicase domains of MDA5 and RIG3, exhibits several desirable properties for vaccine or immunogenic composition adjuvants. These properties include induction of local and systemic activation of immune cells in vivo, production of stimulating chemokines and cytokines, and stimulation of antigen presentation by DCs. Furthermore, poly-ICLC can induce a sustained CD4+ and CD8+ response in humans. Importantly, significant similarities in the upregulation of transcriptional and signaling pathways were observed between subjects vaccinated with poly-ICLC and volunteers who had previously received a highly effective replication-competent yellow fever vaccine. In addition, in a recent Phase 1 study, more than 90% of ovarian cancer patients immunized with poly-ICLC in combination with the NY-ESO-1 peptide vaccine (in addition to Montanide) showed induction of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and an antibody response to the peptide. Simultaneously, poly-ICLC has been extensively tested in more than 25 clinical trials to date, exhibiting a relatively safe toxicity profile. In addition to being potent and specific immunogens, neoantigen peptides can be used in combination with adjuvants (e.g., poly-ICLC) or other antineoplastic agents. While not constrained by theory, these neoantigens are expected to evade central thymic tolerance (thus enabling a more potent antitumor T cell response) while reducing the potential for autoimmunity (e.g., by avoiding targeting of normal autoantigens). An effective immune response favorably involves a potent adjuvant to activate the immune system (Speiser and Romero, "Molecularly defined vaccines for cancer immunotherapy, and protective T cell immunity," Seminars in Immunol 22:144 (2010)).For example, Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have emerged as powerful sensors of microbial and viral pathogen "danger signals" that effectively induce the innate immune system and then the adaptive immune system (Bhardwaj and Gnjatic, "TLR AGONISTS: Are They Good Adjuvants?" Cancer J.16:382-391 (2010)). Among TLR agonists, poly-ICLC (synthetic double-stranded RNA mimetic) is one of the most potent activators of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. In human volunteer trials, poly-ICLC has been shown to be safe and induce a gene expression profile in peripheral blood cells that is comparable to that induced by YF-17D, one of the most potent attenuated live viral vaccines (Caskey et al, "Synthetic double-stranded RNA induces innate immune responses similar to a live viral vaccine in humans," J Exp Med 208:2357 (2011)). In a preferred embodiment, Hiltonol®, a GMP formulation of poly-ICLC prepared by Oncovir, Inc., acts as an adjuvant. It is used as follows. In other embodiments, other adjuvants described herein are envisioned. For example, oil in water, water in oil, or multiphase W / O / W; see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 7,608,279 and Aucouturier et al, Vaccine 19 (2001), 2666-2672, and their references.
[0413] Adaptation Examples of cancers and cancerous conditions that can be treated by the treatments described herein include, but are not limited to, patients who have been diagnosed with cancer or are at risk of developing cancer and who require such treatment. The subjects include solid tumors, such as breast, ovarian, prostate, lung, kidney, stomach, colon, testis, head and neck, pancreas, brain, melanoma, and other tissue organ tumors; hematological malignancies, such as lymphomas and leukemias including acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, T-cell lymphocytic leukemia, and B-cell lymphoma; tumors of the brain and central nervous system (e.g., tumors of the meninges, brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves and other CNS sites, e.g., glioblastoma or medulloblastoma); head and / or neck cancers; breast tumors; circulatory system tumors (e.g., heart, mediastinum and pleura, and other intrathoracic organs, vascular tumors, and tumor-associated vascular tissue); and hematological and lymphatic system tumors (e.g., Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, AIDS-associated lymphoma, malignant immunoproliferative disease).

In certain embodiments, melanoma is a high-risk melanoma.
[0415] Cancers that can be treated using the therapies described herein may, in particular, include cases that are refractory to treatment with other chemotherapeutic agents. The term “refractory” as used herein refers to cancers (and / or metastases thereof) that show no or very weak antiproliferative response after treatment with another chemotherapeutic agent (e.g., no or very weak inhibition of tumor growth). These are cancers that cannot be adequately treated with other chemotherapeutic agents. Refractory cancers include (i) cancers that have already failed one or more chemotherapeutic agents in the patient's treatment, as well as (ii) cancers that are refractory by other means, such as biopsy and culture in the presence of chemotherapeutic agents. Cancers that may be shown to be cancerous are also included.
[0416] The treatments described herein are also applicable to patients who require such treatment and who have not received such treatment before.
[0417] The treatments described herein are also applicable to cases where no neoplasms are detected in the subject but the risk of disease recurrence is high.
[0418] Furthermore, the treatment of patients who have undergone or require autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT), and more specifically, patients exhibiting residual disease after AHSCT, is of particular interest. The post-AHSCT situation is characterized by a small amount of residual disease, infusion of immune cells against a homeostatic proliferative state, and the absence of any standard treatment to delay relapse. These characteristics present a unique opportunity to delay disease relapse using the claimed neoplasm vaccine or immunogenic composition.
[0419] Pharmaceutical composition / delivery method The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of one or more neoantigen peptides (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) as described herein, in combination with optionally pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or additives.
[0420] When administered in combination, the therapeutic agent (i.e., the neoantigen peptide) may be formulated as separate compositions administered at the same or different time points, or the therapeutic agent may be administered as a single composition.
[0421] This composition may be administered once daily, twice daily, once every two days, once every three days, once every four days, once every five days, once every six days, once every seven days, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, once every four weeks, once every two months, once every six months, or once a year. The dosing interval can be adjusted according to the individual patient's needs. For longer dosing intervals, sustained-release formulations or depot formulations may be used.
[0422] The compositions of the present invention can be used to treat acute diseases and disease conditions, and can also be used to treat chronic conditions. More specifically, the compositions of the present invention are used in methods for treating or preventing neoplasms. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are administered over periods exceeding 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, or 5 years, 10 years, or 15 years; or over any period range in days, months, or years (e.g., 4 weeks to 15 years, 6 months to 20 years) where the lower end of the range is any period between 14 days and 15 years and the upper end of the range is between 15 days and 20 years. In some cases, it may be advantageous to administer the compounds of the present invention over the lifetime of the patient. In preferred embodiments, the patient is monitored to check for progression of the disease or disability, and the dose is adjusted accordingly. In a preferred embodiment, the treatment according to the present invention is effective for at least two weeks, three weeks, one month, two months, three months, four months, five months, six months, one year, two years, three years, four years, or five years, ten years, fifteen years, twenty years, or for the lifetime of the subject.
[0423] Surgical resection involves surgically removing abnormal cancerous tissue such as mediastinal tumors, neurogenic tumors, germ cell tumors, or thymomas. In certain embodiments, administration of the composition is initiated after tumor resection. In other embodiments, administration of the neoplasm vaccine or immunogenic composition is initiated 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 weeks or later after tumor resection. Preferably, administration of the neoplasm vaccine or immunogenic composition is initiated 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 weeks after tumor resection.
[0424] A prime / boost regimen refers to the sequential administration of a vaccine or immunogenic or immunological composition. In certain embodiments, the administration of a neoplasm vaccine or immunogenic composition constitutes a prime / boost dosing regimen, for example, with the administration of the neoplasm vaccine or immunogenic composition as priming in weeks 1, 2, 3, or 4, and the administration of the neoplasm vaccine or immunogenic composition as boosting in months 2, 3, or 4. In another embodiment, a higher cytotoxic T cell response is induced using a heterologous prime-boost strategy (see Schneider et al., "Induction of CD8+ T cells using heterologous prime-boost immunisation strategies," Immunological Reviews Volume 170, Issue 1, pages 29-38, August 1999). In yet another embodiment, a protein boost follows priming using DNA encoding a neoantigen. In another embodiment, priming with a protein is followed by a boost with a virus encoding a neoantigen. In yet another embodiment, priming is performed using a virus encoding a neoantigen, and then a boost is performed using a different virus. In yet another embodiment, priming is performed using a protein, and then a boost is performed using DNA. In a preferred embodiment, a T cell response is primed with a DNA vaccine or immunogenic composition, and that response is boosted with a recombinant viral vaccine or immunogenic composition. In yet another preferred embodiment, a viral vaccine or immunogenic composition is co-administered with a protein or DNA vaccine or immunogenic composition and acts as an adjuvant for the protein or DNA vaccine or immunogenic composition.Next, the patient may be boosted with either a viral vaccine or immunogenic composition, a protein, or a DNA vaccine or immunogenic composition (Hutchings et al., "Combination of protein and viral vaccines induces potent cellular and humoral immune response and enhanced protection against mouse malaria attack infection"). "Responses and enhanced protection from murine malaria challenge." Infect Immun. 2007 Dec;75(12):5819-26. See Epub 2007 Oct 1.
[0425] The pharmaceutical composition can be processed according to conventional pharmaceutical methods for preparing pharmaceutical agents for administration to patients in need, including humans and other mammals.
[0426] Modification of neoantigen peptides can affect the peptide's solubility, bioavailability, and metabolic rate, and thus may lead to control over the delivery of the active species. Solubility can be evaluated by preparing the neoantigen peptide and testing it using known methods that are well within the scope of the conventional techniques of those skilled in the art.
[0427] In certain embodiments of this pharmaceutical composition, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprises water. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier further comprises dextrose. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier further comprises dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0428] Xanthenone derivatives, such as bazimezan or AsA404 (also known as 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA)), may also be used as adjuvants according to embodiments of the present invention. Alternatively, such derivatives may also be administered in parallel with the vaccine or immunogenic composition of the present invention, for example, by systemic or intratumoral delivery, to stimulate immunity at the tumor site. Although not constrained by theory, it is thought that such xanthenone derivatives act by stimulating interferon (IFN) production via the IFN gene-stimulating factor (STING) receptor (see, for example, Conlon et al. (2013) "Mouse, but not Human STING, Binds and Signals in Response to the Vascular Disrupting Agent 5,6-Dimethylxanthenone-4-Acetic Acid," Journal of Immunology, 190:5216-25 and Kim et al. (2013) "Anticancer Flavonoids are Mouse-Selective STING Agonists," 8:1396-1401).
[0429] The vaccine or immunological composition may also include an adjuvant compound selected from acrylic or methacrylic polymers and maleic anhydride-alkenyl derivative copolymers. More specifically, it is a polymer (carbomer) in which acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is crosslinked with a polyalkenyl ether of a sugar or polyhydric alcohol, more specifically a polymer crosslinked with allyl clucrose or allyl pentaerythritol. It may also be a copolymer in which maleic anhydride and ethylene are crosslinked with, for example, divinyl ether (see U.S. Patent No. 6,713,068, which is incorporated herein by reference in whole).
