Description

Anti-IL-1RAP antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions and uses thereof Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine. Specifically, the present invention relates to an anti-IL-1RAP antibody, a pharmaceutical composition thereof, and uses thereof. Background Art

[0002] Acute inflammation is a response to tissue damage or infection caused by dendritic cells or macrophages that secrete pro-inflammatory mediators (such as cytokines). Under normal circumstances, the pathogenic factors are cleared, the inflammatory process ends, the inflammatory cascade is terminated, and the internal environment returns to stability. However, stimuli such as genetic mutations in senescent cells, bacterial or viral infections, or inflammatory diseases lead to the emergence of chronic inflammation associated with cancer progression. This cancer-related inflammation is divided into two pathways: an intrinsic pathway in which genetics cause inflammation and tumor transformation, and an extrinsic pathway in which inflammation caused by infection or environmental exposure promotes cancer. Both pathways lead to chronic inflammation and play an important role in the initiation, promotion, and proliferation of cancer cells. In this context, many cytokines and their pathways are widely overexpressed in different types of cancer and have become potential targets for tumor therapy.

[0003] The IL-1 superfamily consists of a variety of cytokines and their receptors. IL-1 family members are generally divided into four subfamilies based on their coreceptors: IL-1 (IL-1α, IL-1β), IL-33, IL-36 (IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ), and the IL-18 subfamily, which binds to a different coreceptor (IL-18RAP). IL-1 family members are key signaling molecules in both the innate and adaptive immune systems, mediating a variety of inflammatory responses (Fields James K, Günther Sebastian, Sundberg Eric J, Structural Basis of IL-1 Family Cytokine Signaling. [J]. Front Immunol, 2019, 10:1412).

[0004] Interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP) is a coreceptor for type I interleukin-1 receptor (IL1R1), IL-33R, and IL-36R, and is essential for the transmission of IL-1, IL-33, and IL-36 signaling pathways. The molecular structure of IL-1RAP consists of three immunoglobulin (Ig) extracellular domains that recognize β-trefoil cytokines and a TIR (toll / interleukin-1 receptor) C-terminal endodomain that activates the NF-κB and MAPK pathways. IL-1 family cytokines bind to their respective primary receptors, inducing the recruitment of the coreceptor IL-1RAP to form a complex. The main receptor and the intracellular TIR domain of IL-1RAP are juxtaposed to recruit and bind to intracellular proteins such as Tollip, MyD88, IRAK family members, TRAF-6, etc., triggering intracellular signaling cascades and inducing the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines that depend on NF-κB and AP-1, and participating in various inflammatory and immune responses and cell death.

[0005] IL-1RAP has been found to be overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors and hematological tumors. Studies have shown that downregulating IL-1RAP in primary human AML cells increased apoptosis and differentiation of AML cells. After introducing the MLL-AF9 fusion oncogene into the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells of the bone marrow of gene knockout (IL1RAP- / -) mice, it was found that compared with the wild-type (WT) group, the IL1RAP- / - group showed delayed leukemia progression and better survival rate. In the pancreatic cancer (PDAC) cell line A6L, inhibition of IL-1RAP reduced the survival rate and clonogenicity of PDAC cells. It also reduced the invasiveness of PDAC and significantly arrested the G0 / G1 phase of the cell cycle. After IL-1RAP downregulation, the level of MAPK involved in the IL-1RAP pathway in cells was also significantly reduced. These results confirm that IL-1RAP plays an important role in tumor development (Frenay Jame, Bellay Pierre-Simon, Oudot Alexandra et al. IL-1RAP, a Key Therapeutic Target in Cancer. [J]. Int J Mol Sci, 2022, 23: 14918).

[0006] As a new class of antibody drugs, anti-IL-1RAP antibodies hold broad application prospects and can be used in immunotherapy for a variety of diseases, including cancer. Nadunolimab (CAN04), developed by Cantargia AB, is a fully humanized, ADCC-enhanced IgG1 antibody that targets IL-1RAP and blocks both IL-1α and IL-1β. Interim data from a Phase I clinical trial released in October 2018 showed a favorable safety profile and stable disease in 38% of patients. A Phase IIa clinical trial is also underway.

[0007] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop antibody drugs with high affinity to IL-1RAP so that they have better therapeutic effects and lower toxic side effects. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Unless otherwise indicated, scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the laboratory procedures for cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry, and immunology used herein are conventional procedures widely used in the relevant fields. To facilitate a better understanding of the present invention, definitions and explanations of relevant terms are provided below.

[0066] Based on known antibody numbering systems, such as the Kabat numbering system, the EU numbering system, the Chothia numbering system, the IMGT numbering system, or the AHo numbering system, one of ordinary skill in the art can determine the sequences of the heavy and light chain CDRs based on given antibody heavy and light chain sequences.

[0067] As used herein, the term EC 50 It refers to the concentration for 50% of maximal effect, which is the concentration that can cause 50% of the maximum effect.

[0068] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule typically composed of two pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" (L) chain and one "heavy" (H) chain. Antibody light chains can be classified as kappa and lambda light chains. Heavy chains can be classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and define the antibody's isotype as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are connected by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain also contains a "D" region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region consists of one domain, CL. The constant region of an antibody can mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can also be further subdivided into regions of high variability, called complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions (VH and VL) of each heavy chain / light chain pair form the antibody binding site.The assignment of amino acids to regions or domains follows Dondelinger Mathieu, Filée Patrice, Sauvage Eric et al. Understanding the Significance and Implications of Antibody Numbering and Antigen-Binding Surface / Residue Definition. [J]. Front Immunol, 2018, 9: 2278., or Chothia & Lesk J. Mol. Biol. 1987; 196: 901-917; Chothia et al. Nature 1989; 342: 878-883, or the IMGT numbering system definition, see Ehrenmann F, Kaas Q, Lefranc MP.

Nucleic acids Research, 2009; 38(suppl_1): definition of D301-D307.

[0069] The term "antibody" is not limited to any particular method of producing the antibody. For example, it includes recombinant antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, and polyclonal antibodies. The antibody can be of different isotypes, for example, IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 subtypes), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM antibodies.

[0070] As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody or antibody fragment obtained by replacing all or part of the CDR region of a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) with the CDR region of a non-human antibody (donor antibody), wherein the donor antibody can be a non-human (e.g., mouse, rat, or rabbit) antibody with the desired specificity, affinity, or reactivity. In addition, some amino acid residues in the framework region (FR) of the recipient antibody can also be replaced with amino acid residues of the corresponding non-human antibody, or with amino acid residues of other antibodies, to further improve or optimize the performance of the antibody. For more details on humanized antibodies, see, for example, Jones et al., Nature, 1986; 321: 522 525; Reichmann et al., Nature, 1988; 332: 323 329; Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 1992; 2: 593-596; and Clark, Immunol. Today 2000; 21: 397 402.

[0071] As used herein, the term "single chain antibody (scFv)" refers to a molecule comprising an antibody heavy chain variable region (VH) and an antibody light chain variable region (VL) connected by a linker. The VL and VH domains are paired to form a monovalent molecule by a linker that enables them to be produced as a single polypeptide chain (see, e.g., Bird et al, Science 1988; 242: 423-426 and Huston et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1988; 85: 5879-5883). Such scFv molecules may have the general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art linkers consist of repeated GGGGS amino acid sequences or variants thereof. For example, a linker having the amino acid sequence (GGGGS) 4 can be used, but variants thereof can also be used (Holliger et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1993; 90: 6444-6448). Other linkers that can be used in the present invention are described by Alfthan et al, Protein Eng. 1995; 8: 725-731, Choi et al, Eur. J. Immunol. 2001; 31: 94-106, Hu et al, Cancer Res. 1996; 56: 3055-3061, Kipriyanov et al, J. Mol. Biol. 1999; 293: 41-56 and Roovers et al, Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 2001, 50(1): 51-59.

[0072] As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to a cell that can be used to introduce a vector, including but not limited to prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis, fungal cells such as yeast cells or Aspergillus, insect cells such as S2 Drosophila cells or Sf9, or animal cells such as fibroblasts, CHO cells, GS cells, COS cells, NSO cells, HeLa cells, BHK cells, HEK 293 cells or human cells.

[0073] As used herein, the term "specific binding" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and its antigen. In certain embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to an antigen (or has specificity for an antigen) means that the antibody binds to the antigen with a specificity of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 -6 M, 10 -7M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 Affinity of M or less (K D ) binds to the antigen.

[0074] As used herein, the term "K D " refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction, which is used to describe the binding affinity between the antibody and the antigen. The smaller the equilibrium dissociation constant, the tighter the antibody-antigen binding and the higher the affinity between the antibody and the antigen. Generally, antibodies bind with a dissociation equilibrium constant of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M or 10 -10 M or less dissociation equilibrium constant (K D ) binding antigen (eg, IL-1RAP protein). K can be determined using methods known to those skilled in the art. D , for example, using the Fortebio molecular interaction instrument.

[0075] As used herein, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "monoclonal antibody" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably; the terms "polyclonal antibody" and "polyclonal antibody" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. In the present invention, amino acids are generally represented by single-letter and three-letter abbreviations known in the art. For example, alanine can be represented by A or Ala.

[0076] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient" refers to a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, and is well known in the art and includes, but is not limited to, pH adjusters, surfactants, adjuvants, and ionic strength enhancers. For example, pH adjusters include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers; surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic, anionic, or nonionic surfactants, such as Tween-80; and ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride.

[0077] As used herein, when referring to the amino acid sequence of the human IL-1RAP protein, it includes the full-length IL-1RAP protein (Accession: Q9NPH3), or the extracellular fragment IL-1RAP ECD or a fragment comprising the IL-1RAP ECD; it also includes a fusion protein of the full-length IL-1RAP protein or a fusion protein of the IL-1RAP ECD, such as a fragment fused with the Fc protein fragment (mFc or hFc) of mouse or human IgG. However, those skilled in the art understand that mutations or variations (including but not limited to substitutions, deletions and / or additions) can occur naturally or be artificially introduced into the amino acid sequence of the IL-1RAP protein without affecting its biological function.

The results showed that after group administration of 18H6H23L3 (hG1TM) to CIPN model mice, PWT increased in all 18H6H23L3 (hG1TM) dose groups compared to the anti-HEL (hG1DM) isotype control group. 18H6H23L3 (hG1TM) 60 mg / kg was the most effective, with PWT values ​​significantly different from the isotype control group at 2 days after the first dose (D3), 2 days after the third dose (D9), 4 days after the fourth dose (D14), and 2 days after the fifth dose (D17) (P < 0.05, P < 0.001, P < 0.01, and P < 0.01). The PWT value of 18H6H23L3 (hG1TM) 30 mg / kg was significantly different from the isotype control group at 2 days after the third dose (D9) (P < 0.01), and the PWT values ​​of the dose groups were dose-dependent.

[0228] In addition, CIPN model mice tolerated the test drugs well, and there was no significant weight loss in all groups of mice.
