IMPROVED DOSING REGIMEN OF PEGYLATED HEMOGLOBINCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 635,099, filed April 17, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention discloses an improved infusion process by infusing an adequate amount of PEGylated hemoglobin into a subject in need thereof in at least two cycles. The present invention discloses an improved infusion process of reducing the incidence and / or alleviating one or more symptoms characterized by the lack of blood supply in a subject, by administering PEG-HB-CO in at least two cycles. The present invention also maintains adequate flow rate and blood volume for improving the tissue oxygenation, and controlling adverse effect of hypervolemia in the subject. The invention maintains the blood pressure in the subject during infusion cycle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Trauma is a leading cause of death worldwide, and almost 30% of trauma deaths are due to blood loss. The primary reason for the high mortality rate is the inability to maintain tissue oxygenation of the subject between the time of injury and time of surgery at a medical facility. The lack of oxygenation results in tissue damage, organ failure and death. Therefore, a major focus in treating traumatic shock is administering therapeutics providing as much oxygen as possible to internal tissues and organs of the subject.
[0004] The present applicant has solved this problem by developing a novel oxygenated pegylated hemoglobin carrying and delivering hemoglobin molecules that can serve as blood substitutes.
[0005] However, the applicant noticed the infusion of pegylated hemoglobin is very challenging. Adding a PEGylated hemoglobin (PEG-Hb) or PEGylated carbon monoxide containing hemoglobin (PEG-Hb-CO) infusion to an intravenous fluid line, on proximal occlusion may lead to back-flow into the main line and later administration of a potentially dangerous dose or drug interaction. If the infusion of the PEGylated hemoglobin does not monitor it can lead to hypervolemia which leads to fluid imbalance or can cause for too much fluid in the body. Fluid overload also leads to increase in extracellular fluid (ECF) which is present in the blood and lymph, between the cells, surrounding the brain and spinal cord, insidemuscles and tissues, and everywhere else there is space outside of cells, it will filling up body cavities and all the spaces between cells this results in symptoms such as swelling, rapid weight gain, high blood pressure, cardiovascular events, organ damage by pressure, and shortness of breath.
[0006] Free (Hb) outside of the red blood cell is physiologically unstable and can promote serious effects including vascular patency and interstitial tissue inflammation. Free Hb in circulation is readily sequestered by haptoglobin, hemopexin and other factors to eliminate the protein before it can promote significant injury and inflammation. Early attempts to use free Hb products failed for poor pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Treating with very high Hb levels to overcome poor PK did not provide sustained benefits and instead overwhelmed the Hb clearance mechanisms and extravasating into the interstitial space. These free Hb and degradants would bind and sequester nitric oxide promoting vessel constriction as well as promoting inflammation. Further efforts to overcome effects of free Hb included approaches to increase the molecular weight thereby reduce rapid clearance and extravasation. These included agents modified by cross-linking into various dimeric, trimeric or tetrameric versions.
[0007] These agents also showed toxicity when often these modifications prevented haptoglobin and / or hemopexin binding that promote normal clearance pathways. PEG-Hb-CO is uniquely designed through a PEGylation process that increases its molecular size preventing extravasation but retains haptoglobin binding and clearance similar to non-modified. Therefore, PEG-Hb-CO does not exhibit vasoconstrictive or inflammatory effects.
[0008] Specific examples of potentially life-threatening acute fluid overload affecting the primary organ systems of the body include Brain - cognitive impairment, Heart - edema, arrythmia, congestive heart failure, Lungs - pulmonary edema, pleural efflusion, hypoxemia, hypoxia, Kidney - reduced glomerular filtration rate, acute injury, proteinuria, Liver - impaired liver functions including albuminemia.
[0009] Hence, it is important to avoid the major consequences which happen by administration error or particularly if pegylated blood product is infused in inadequate amount, inadequate flow rate and inadequate time period The present invention discloses an improved infusion process by infusing an adequate amt of PEGylated hemoglobin into the subject in need thereof in at least two cycles. The present invention also maintains adequate flow rate and blood volume to avoid any side effects.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The terms also carry with them the disclosure of an exemplary use of thecomposition and its formulation. For example, a "blood substitute" is of use to replace blood in the context of, e.g., trauma, stroke, ischemia / reperfusion injury, surgery, anemia or other injuries, insults and diseases in which a blood transfusion might be indicated. These terms, as used herein, also refer to Hb formulations capable of delivering oxygen or carbon monoxide to a tissue. These formulations are of use in injuries, insults and diseases characterized by the subject having adequate blood volume, yet the blood has inadequate ability to carry and / or deliver oxygen or carbon monoxide to tissues. The PEG- derivatives are formulated in hypotonic, isotonic or hypertonic salt solutions. Thus, exemplary deoxygenated PEG-Hb composition in which the Fe (II) is unbound or is bound to CO can be formulated in isotonic or hypertonic solution. Similarly, exemplary oxygenated PEG-Hb can be formulated in isotonic or hypertonic carriers. As used herein the term “pegylated hemoglobin” or “pegylated blood” or “PEG-Hb” or “PEGylated HB-CO" or “PP-007” or “PEG-HB-CO" or “PEGylated bovine hemoglobin” or “PEGylated carboxyhemoglobin” which are interchangeable refers to pegylated oxygenated hemoglobin or carbon monoxide associated pegylated hemoglobin.
[0106] “Hemoglobin” as used herein refers to an oxygen-binding (or CO-binding), active polypeptide that is not chemically cross-linked through treatment with chemical cross-linking agents, e.g., dialdehydes, etc. An exemplary is the native protein with no modifications other than the conjugation of one or more PEG (e.g., m-PEG) moieties. As used herein, "substantially free of chemical cross-linking agents," refers to molecules that are not purposely cross-linked with chemical cross-linking agents. These preparations include less than 5%, less than 3% or less than 1 % cross-linked.
[0107] The term “CO” refers to carbon monoxide.

It's a benchmark used to determine if professional obligations to patients have been met and is relevant in medical malpractice lawsuits.
[0110] In some embodiments, the standard of care for acute ischemic stroke involves rapid assessment, stabilization, and potentially thrombolytic therapy (IV alteplase) within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, along with consideration for endovascular therapy (mechanical thrombectomy) in selected cases.
[0111] " Ischemic stroke” is the most common type of stroke, occurs when a blood clot blocks or plugs an artery, leading to reduced blood flow to the brain. Clinical endpoints used tomeasure the impact of ischemic stroke interventions primarily focus on functional outcomes, such as disability and recovery, as well as assessing the severity and extent of stroke. The clinical endpoints are Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and Barthel Index.
[0112] ‘ ‘Sickle cell disease” or “SCD” is a genetic disorder where abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to become rigid and crescent-shaped, hindering their ability to carry oxygen and leading to blockages in blood vessels. Clinical endpoints in measuring SCD primarily focus on acute pain crises (vaso-occlusive crises or VOCs) and assessing the impact of treatments on these crises and related complications. The clinical endpoints are Reduction in VOC Frequency, Severity of Pain, End-organ damage
[0113] ‘ ‘Anemia” is a condition where the number of red blood cells or the hemoglobin concentration within them is lower than normal. This reduces the blood's capacity to carry oxygen, leading to symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath. Clinical endpoints for measuring anemia include improvements in hemoglobin levels, hematocrit, and overall quality of life.
[0114] The term “National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale or “NIHSS” is a standardized tool used to assess the severity of stroke, particularly ischemic stroke, and predict subject outcomes, helping healthcare providers evaluate and monitor subject. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe stroke-related neurological deficits. Herein NIHSS score of 0 indicates normal neurological function and no evidence of stroke-related deficits score 1 to score 4 indicates a minor stroke, score 5 -15 indicates a moderate stroke severity, score 15-20 indicates a moderate to severe stroke and score 21-42 indicates severe stroke in subject.
[0115] The term “Modified Rankin Scale” or “mRS” are interchangeable and refer to a widely used ordinal scale to assess functional outcomes after stroke, ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death), with higher scores indicating greater disability. It's often used in clinical trials and clinical practice to evaluate stroke recovery and is typically measured at 90 days post-stroke. When Modified rankin scale score of 0 in the context of ischemic stroke indicates no residual symptoms at all, representing a fully independent and healthy state following the stroke, mRS score of 1 indicates no significant disability, despite symptoms, meaning the subject is able to carry out all usual duties and activities, mRS score of 2 indicates a slight disability, where the subject is unable to perform all previous activities but can still look after their own affairs without assistance, mRS score of 3 in the context of ischemic stroke indicates moderate disability, requiring some help but still able to walk without assistance, mRS score of 4 in thecontext of ischemic stroke indicates moderately severe disability, meaning the subject is unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to their own bodily needs without help, mRS score of 5 in the context of ischemic stroke indicates severe disability, requiring constant nursing care and attention, with the subject being bedridden and incontinent, mRS score of 6 signifies that the subject has died due to disability.

[0260] The following Examples are provided for illustration purpose and scope of the invention should not be considered limiting with the teaching of the examples. The Examples enable that two cycle infusion of PEG-HB-CO is safe for the subject and improves the disease condition. Wherein the disease conditions can be selected from Sickle Cell disease, anemia, cardiovascular events, haemorrhagic shock, intracranial haemorrhage, hypoxia, necrosis, myocardial injury, acute myocardial infarction, organ injury such as brain or kidney injury, heart rate, respirations, and temperature, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension.Example 1. Two-phase infusion for Subjects with large vessel occlusion anterior acute ischemic stroke
[0261] In this study 47 subjects enrolled in the clinical trial, The trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of PEG-Hb-CO (PP-007) on acute ischemic stroke subjects in combination with standard of care treatment.
[0262] Fast infusion of an agent that can improve cerebral blood flow is anticipated to have a positive effect on the ischemic core and hypoxic penumbra. Human albumin infusion formulations have been used for a variety of clinical conditions and was previously studied in several human AIS clinical trials. Specifically, the ALIAS trials used 2 g / kg of 25% IV solution (-500 - 600 mL) administered over 2 hours showed limited functional benefits. In contrast, safety findings included increased rates of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH), volume overload and pulmonary oedema were observed. Albumin is not recommended in AIS, and any use requires strict blood pressure (BP) monitoring requirements.
[0263] The HEMERA-1 study enrolled 47 subjects that were eligible for standard of care interventions outlined in the 2019 AHA / ISC guidelines. Briefly, a confirmed non-haemorrhagic stroke, presenting within 3.5-4h (IVT eligibility) and 24 h (MT eligibility) from last known well were eligible. Subjects deemed by investigators as not likely to survive the study period (90 d), with severely compromised cardiopulmonary functions and those with poor neurological function preceding the stroke were excluded.
[0264] PP-007 has the unique capability to improve perfusion with limited impacts on BP as compared to albumin. Therefore, the infusion rate must be strongly considered to ensure safety and efficacy. Specifically, injured neurons can release tissue plasminogen activator protein that has been shown to increase risk of sICH. This risk can be elevated with treatment intervention including a large volume parenteral drug like rapidly administered albumin pushing high pressures onto the injured and potentially constricted blood vessel walls. Conversely, PP-007 has the capability to deliver 02 to the injured area and dramatically slowing the infusion rate could allow injured neurons to die and reduce good outcomes. A further challenge is maintaining adequate blood pressure levels ensuring good pressures needed to maintain perfusion and brain oxygenation with too low or too high equally associated with poor outcomes and safety.
[0265] A split rate infusion protocol has been developed to enhance early 02 transfer to hypoxic neurons at a level sufficient to provide favourable clinical outcomes without increasing the risk of sICH. Clinical measurements including BP are captured in real-time during infusion periods to evaluate the effects of BP on achieving both good short and long-term outcomes (i.e. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 24 h and day 7; modified Rankin scores of 0-2 at day 90, respectively).
[0266] PP-007 (40 mg / mL, 500 mL 20 g total Hb protein) was first infused at a higher rate of 6.67 ml / min for 30 minutes. This resulted in 40% of the total dose (8000mg) being administered rapidly. The second, slower rate was then started at 3.33 ml / min for 90 minutes.This resulted in the remaining 60% of the total dose (12,000 mg) to be administered slowly (Table 1). This two-rate infusion protocol was intended to achieve rapid, early perfusion and oxygenation of the infarcted region with the second slower rate maintaining the 02 steadystate.
[0267] The same dose of PEG-HB-CO was again repeated in two infusion cycles on day 2 (Table 1).
[0268] Stroke non-contrast computer tomography (NCCT) imaging is used to develop an ALBERTA STROKE Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) aiding the treatment decisions for AIS based on brain injury scores (10 - 0 with higher scores less injury). For example, MT is currently only recommended for ASPECTS > 6 with lower score treatments associated with increased sICH and poor outcomes.
[0269] A second dose of PP-007 was administered at the same High / slow infusion rate was added to achieve benefits were there is an unmet need and with lower risk of sICH. Bp was monitored across both treatment times and used to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PP- 007 (table 2 and Table 3) in a wide range of stroke presentations including posterior, non-large vessel occlusion, large vessel occlusion in differing locations.
[0270] The split High / slow infusion process was shown to result in good NIHSS and mRS scores (versus medical management or historical controls) as well as showing no incidence of sICH across 47 subjects enrolled in the HEMERA-1 clinical trial. No sICH was observed across the PP-007 treatment groups, whether in combination with IVT, or MT or both treatments (Table 4).
[0271] The outcome of Day 1 and Day 2 infusion of PEG-HB-CO in two cycles is given in table 4. Table 4 shows that subject #001-301 administered with PEG-HB-CO in two cycles on day 1 and day 2, wherein the flow rate of first cycle is 6.67 ml / min and the dose volume is 200ml / kg, wherein the infusion rate of second cycle is 3.33 ml / min and the infusion dose volume is 300ml / kg. The subject exhibits improvement and shows NIHSS score 0 on day 7 representing 0 risk of Ischemic stroke in the subject. Subject also shows 1 mRS score on day 90 representing no significant risk of disability in subject.
[0272] Subject #001-304 was administered with PEG-HB-CO in two cycles on day 1 and day 2, wherein the flow rate of first cycle is 6.67 ml / min and the dose volume is 200ml / kg, wherein the infusion rate of second cycle is 3.33 ml / min and the infusion dose volume is 300ml / kg. The subject exhibits improvement and shows 1 NIHSS score on day 7 representing minor risk of ischemic stroke in the subject. Further, the subject also shows 0 mRS score on day 90 representing no risk of disability in subject.
[0273] Subject #003-313 was also administered with PEG-HB-CO in two cycles on day 1 and day 2, wherein the flow rate of first cycle is 6.67 ml / min and the dose volume was 200ml / kg, wherein the infusion rate of second cycle was 3.33 ml / min and the infusion dose volume was 300ml / kg. The subject improvement shows 0 NIHSS score on day 7 representing no risk of ischemic stroke in the subject. Further, the subject also shows 0 mRS score on day 90 representing no risk of disability in subject.Table 1. Two-phase infusion for Subjects administered with PEG-HB-COTable 2.
