[0002] This application contains a Sequence Listing XML. which has been submitted electronically in XML format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The XML copy of the Sequence Listing, created on June 1, 2025, is named NVG-007WO_SL.xml and is 71,078 bytes in size.BACKGROUND
[0003] The Fc region of an antibody interacts with a number of Fc receptors and ligands, imparting an array of important functional capabilities referred to as effector functions. For IgG, the Fc region comprises immunoglobulin (1g) domains Cy2 and Cy3 (also referred to as CH2 and CH 3 respectively) and the N-terminal hinge leading into Cy2. An important family of Fc receptors for the IgG class are the Fc gamma receptors (FcyRs). These receptors mediate communication between antibodies and the cellular arm of the immune system.
[0004] In humans, this protein family includes FcyRI (CD64), including isoforms Fey Ria, FcyRIb, and FcyRIc; FcyRII (CD32), including isoforms FcyRIIa (including allotypes H131 and R131), FcyRIIb (including FcyRIIb-1 and FcyRIIb-2), and FcyRIIc; and FcyRIII (CD16), including isoforms FcyRIIIa (including allotypes V158 and F158) and FcyRIIIb (including allotypes FcyRIIIb-NAl and FcyRIIIbNA2).
[0005] Inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune diseases, are disorders involving abnormal activation and subsequent migration of white blood cells to affected areas of the body. These conditions encompass a wide range of ailments that affect the lives of millions of people throughout the world. Although various treatments are presently available, many possess significant side effects or are insufficiently effective in alleviating symptoms.
[0006] Thus, there remains a need for improved agents for treating autoimmune diseases.SUMMARY

Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the term “polypeptide” is intended to be sufficiently general as to encompass not only polypeptides having a complete sequence recited herein, but also to encompass polypeptides that represent functional fragments (i.e., fragments retaining at least one activity) of such complete polypeptides. Moreover, those of ordinary skill in the art understand that protein sequences generally tolerate some substitution without destroying activity. Thus, any polypeptide that retains activity and shares at least about 30-40% overall sequence identity, often greater than about 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%, and further usually including at least one region of much higher identity, often greater than 90% or even 95%, 96%, 97%. 98%, or 99% in one or more highly conserved regions, usually encompassing at least 3-4 and often up to 20 or more amino acids, with another polypeptide of the same class, is encompassed within the relevant term “polypeptide” as used herein. Polypeptides may contain L-amino acids, D-amino acids, or both and may contain any of a variety of amino acid modifications or analogs known in the art. Useful modifications include, e.g., terminal acetylation, amidation, methylation, glycosylation etc. In some embodiments, proteins maycomprise natural amino acids, non-natural amino acids, synthetic amino acids, and combinations thereof.
[0139] As used herein, “administration” refers to providing or giving a subject a therapeutic agent (e.g. , a modified Fc polypeptide of the disclosure or a composition containing the same) by any effective route. Exemplar}' routes of administration are described in the sections that follow.
[0140] The term “effective amount” as used herein, refers to that amount of Fc polypeptides or compositions of the disclosure that is sufficient to induce a disclosed effect, e.g., to effect treatment, prognosis, or diagnosis of a disease (e.g, autoimmune disorder), as described herein, when administered to a subject. Therapeutically effective amounts of the compositions provided herein, when used alone or in combination, will vary depending upon the relative activity of the disclosed compositions and combinations (e.g, in treating, reducing, or ameliorating a disease or disorder described herein) and depending upon the subject and disease condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration, and the like.
[0141] As used herein, the terms “Fc polypeptide,” “Fc peptide,” “Fc fragment,” “Fc region,” and “Fc domain” are interchangeably used to define a C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain. The “Fc polypeptide” is a native sequence Fc region or a variant Fc region, in some embodiments. Although the boundaries of the Fc region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain might vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is usually defined to stretch from an amino acid residue at position Cys226, or from Pro230, to the carboxyl-terminus thereof. In certain embodiments, the “Fc domain” comprises at least a portion of a hinge (e.g., upper, middle, and / or lower hinge region) domain, a CH2 domain, and a CH3 domain.
[0142] A “native” or “parental” Fc region comprises an ammo acid sequence identical to the amino acid sequence of an Fc region found in nature. A “variant” or “modified” Fc region includes an amino acid sequence which differs from that of a native sequence Fc region by virtue of at least one amino acid modification, such as an amino acid substitution (e.g. , F241A). In some embodiments, a modified Fc region has at least one amino acid substitution compared to a native sequence Fc region or to the Fc region of a parent polypeptide, e.g. , from about one to about ten amino acid substitutions. The modified Fc region described herein will, in some embodiments, possess at least 75% (e.g., at least 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%. 85%. 86%. 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%,99%, or more) sequence identity with the native sequence Fc region and / or with an Fc region of a parent polypeptide.
[0143] “Percent (%) sequence identity’' with respect to a reference polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence is defined as the percentage of nucleic acids or amino acids in a candidate sequence that are identical to the nucleic acids or amino acids in the reference polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary', to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity'. Alignment for purposes of determining percent nucleic acid or amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the capabilities of one of skill in the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST (e.g., BLASTp for protein sequence alignment), BLAST-2, or Megalign softw are. Appropriate parameters for aligning sequences, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared, are determined by any suitable means. For example, percent sequence identity values may be generated using the sequence comparison computer program BLAST. As an illustration, the percent sequence identity' of a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, A, to, with, or against a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, B, (which can alternatively be phrased as a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, A that has a certain percent sequence identity to, with, or against a given nucleic acid or amino acid sequence, B) is calculated as follows:100 multiplied by (the fraction X / Y) where X is the number of nucleotides or amino acids scored as identical matches by a sequence alignment program (e.g., BLAST) in that program’s alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of nucleic acids in B. It w ill be appreciated that where the length of nucleic acid or amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of nucleic acid or amino acid sequence B, the percent sequence identity' of A to B will not equal the percent sequence identity of B to A.
[0144] As used herein, the term “specifically binds, “ specifically binding,” “binds specifically,” or similar terms, means that a binding moiety' (e.g., an antibody or an antigenbinding fragment thereof) forms a complex with an antigen that is relatively stable under physiologic conditions. Specific binding can be characterized by an equilibrium dissociation constant of lxl0‘6M or less , IxlO’7M or less, lxl0‘8M or less, or IxlO-9M or less (e.g., a smaller KD denotes a tighter binding). Methods for determining whether tw'O molecules specifically bind are well known in the art and include, for example, equilibrium dialysis, surface plasmon resonance, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or biolayer interferometry measurements, etc. In some embodiments, “specifically binds” and similar terms refers to acharacteristic of the binding moiety in that the binding moiety is capable of binding to a target antigen but does is not capable of binding to other antigens such as distantly related family members of the antigen.
[0145] As used herein, the terms “recipient,” “individual,” “subject,” “host,” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein and refer to an organism, ty pically a mammal (e.g., a human). In some embodiments, a subj ect is suffering from or susceptible to a relevant disease, disorder or condition, e.g., an autoimmune disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, a subject displays one or more symptoms or characteristics of a disease, disorder or condition. In some embodiments, a subject is someone with one or more features characteristic of susceptibility' to or risk of a disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, a subject is a patient. In some embodiments, a subject is a subject to whom diagnosis and / or therapy is and / or has been administered.
[0146] As used herein, the term “treatment” (also “treat” or “treating”) refers to any administration of a therapy that partially or completely alleviates, ameliorates, relieves, inhibits, delays onset of, reduces severity’ of, and / or reduces incidence of one or more symptoms, features, and / or causes of a particular disease, disorder, and / or condition. In some embodiments, such treatment may be of a subj ect who does not exhibit signs of the relevant disease, disorder and / or condition and / or of a subject who exhibits only early signs of the disease, disorder, and / or condition. Alternatively, or additionally, such treatment may be of a subject who exhibits one or more established signs of the relevant disease, disorder and / or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be of a subject who has been diagnosed as suffering from the relevant disease, disorder, and / or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be of a subject known to have one or more susceptibility factors that are statistically correlated with increased risk of development of the relevant disease, disorder, and / or condition.
[0147] The term “therapeutically effective amount” generally refers to an amount of a disclosed composition effective to “treat” a disease or disorder in a subject or mammal. In some embodiments, a composition described herein is administered to a subject in an amount that is effective for producing some desired therapeutic effect by inhibiting a disease or disorder as described herein at a reasonable benefit / risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. A therapeutically effective amount is an amount that achieves at least partially a desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect in an organ or tissue. The amount of a therapeutic agent necessary to bring about prevention and / or therapeutic treatment of a disease or disorder is not fixed per se. In some embodiments, the amount of the therapeutic agent administered varieswith the type and extensiveness of the disease, and the size of the mammal suffering from the disease or disorder. When used in conjunction with therapeutic methods involving administration of a therapeutic agent after the subject presents symptoms of a disease or disorder, the term “therapeutically effective’’ means that, after treatment, one or more signs or symptoms of the disease or disorder is ameliorated or eliminated.Immunoglobulin and Fc Glycosylation
[0148] IgG is a glycoprotein composed of two identical heavy chains and two light chains which are composed of variable and constant domains. IgG contains a single. N-linked glycan at asparagine 297 (Asn297) in the CH2 domain on each of its two heavy chains. The covalently -linked, complex carbohydrate is composed of a core biantennary penta-saccharide containing N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and mannose (Man). Further modification of the core carbohydrate structure is observed in serum antibodies with the presence of fucose (Fuc), branching GlcNAc, galactose (Gal) and variably present terminal sialic acid (SA) moieties. Over 40 different glycoforms have thus been detected to be covalently attached to this single glycosylation site. Glycosylation of IgG has been shown to be essential for binding to all FcyRs by maintaining an open conformation of the two heavy chains. It is believed that this IgG glycosylation for FcyR binding accounts for the inability of de-glycosylated IgG antibodies to mediate in vivo triggered inflammatory responses, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, and release of inflammatory mediators. That individual IgG glycoforms may contribute to modulation of inflammatory' responses has been suggested by the altered affinities for individual FcyRs reported for IgG antibodies containing or lacking Fuc and its consequential effects on cytotoxicity. A link between autoimmune states and specific glycosylation patterns of IgG antibodies has been observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune vasculitis in which decreased galactosylation and sialylation of IgG antibodies have been reported.Compositions

[0258] Glycosylation of immunoglobulins has been shown to have significant effects on their effector functions, structural stability, and rate of secretion from antibody-producing cells. The carbohydrate groups responsible for these properties are generally attached to the constant (C) regions of the antibodies. For example, glycosylation of IgG at Asn297 in the CH2 domain is required for the full capacity’ of IgG to activate the classical pathway of complement-dependent cytolysis.
[0259] Each antibody possesses a distinct array of N-linked glycan structures which variably affect protein assembly, secretion, and function. These N-linked glycans vary considerably, depending on the degree of processing, and include high-mannose, as well as complex biantennary oligosaccharides with or without bisecting N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and core fucose (Fuc) residues, in some embodiments. Typically, there is heterogeneous processing of the core oligosaccharide structures attached at a particular glycosylation site such that even monoclonal antibodies exist as multiple glycoforms. Likewise, it has been shown that major differences in antibody glycosylation occur between antibody-producing cell lines, and even minor differences are seen for a given cell line grown under different culture conditions.
[0260] The presence of sialic acid (SA) residues on the N-glycan of Fc polypeptides has recently been identified as an important factor in mediating anti-inflammatory effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), which has been demonstrated in certain autoimmune diseases. It has been proposed that this anti-inflammatory effect is mediated by binding of sialylated Fc components of IVIG to inhibitory’ Fey RUB receptors and DC-SIGN receptors. Removal of the IVIg sialic acid results in loss of protection in animal models of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), despite retaining normal circulating half-life and binding to FcRn. Conversely, hyper-sialylation of IVIg increases the potency of anti-inflammatory activity' 10-30-fold in several different animal models of autoimmune disease. The biological consequence of binding to and activating the type II Fc receptors is IL-33 release, inhibitory FcyRIIB upregulation, and T regulatory' cell expansion. In mice, knock-out of SIGN-R1 (the murine homologue of DC-SIGN) blocks the anti-inflammatory activity' of IVIg. Blocking the IL-33 receptor, knockout of FcyRIIB, or depletion of T regulatory cell, in different contexts, alsoblocks the anti-inflammatory properties of IVIg. However, only a minor portion of IgG in IVIG have glycans terminating in SA. thereby requiring administration of IVIG at high doses (1-2 g / kg) to elicit a therapeutic anti-inflammatory effect.
