ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAを取得するために,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUA発現株を以下の方法で培養した。実施例2で得たヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUA発現株を,細胞密度が約3 X 105個/mLとなるように,10 mg/L インスリン,16 μmol/L チミジン,100 μmol/L ヒポキサンチンを含有する,pH6.9に調整した約170 Lの無血清培地(CD OptiCHOTM培地,ThermoFisher SCIENTIFIC社)に懸濁させた。この細胞懸濁液170 Lを培養槽に移した。培地をインペラ―で概ね100 rpmの速度で撹拌し,培地の溶存酸素飽和度を約30%に保持し,34~37℃の温度範囲で,約10日間細胞を培養した。培養期間中,細胞密度,細胞の生存率,培地のグルコース濃度及び乳酸濃度を監視した。培地のグルコース濃度が3.0 g/L以下となった場合には,直ちにグルコース濃度が3.5 g/Lとなるように,グルコース溶液を培地に添加した。培養期間中,フィード液(EFFICIENTFEED A+ TM,ThermoFisher SCIENTIFIC社)を適宜培地に添加した。培養終了後に培地を回収した。回収した培地を,Millistak+HC Pod Filter grade D0HC(Merck社)でろ過し,更にMillistak+ HCgrade X0HC (Merck社)でろ過して,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAを含む培養上清を得た。この培養上清を,PelliconTM 3 Cassette w/Ultracel PLCTK Membrane(孔径:30 kDa, 膜面積:1.14m2,Merck社)を用いて限外ろ過し,液量が約14分の1となるまで濃縮した。次いで,この濃縮液をOpticap XL600(0.22 μm, Merck社)を用いてろ過した。得られた液を濃縮培養上清とした。
実施例3で得た濃縮培養上清に,0.25倍容の2 M アルギニン溶液(pH 7.0)を添加した。この溶液を,カラム体積の4倍容の400 mM アルギニンを含有する25 mM MES緩衝液(pH6.5)で平衡化した,Capture SelectTM CH1-XLカラム(カラム体積:約3.1 L,ベッド高:約20 cm,Thermo Fisher Scientific社)に,100 cm/時の一定流速で負荷し,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAをカラムに吸着させた。Capture SelectTM CH1-XLカラムは,IgG抗体のCH1ドメインと特異的に結合する性質を有するリガンドが担体に固定化されたアフィニティーカラムである。

実施例5で調製したヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUA融合蛋白質を含有する水性医薬組成物(以下,「被験薬」という)の安全性,及びムコ多糖症I型に対する有効性を確認するため,臨床試験(第I期)を実施した。
(脳脊髄液に含まれるヘパラン硫酸及びデルマタン硫酸の濃度)
実施例6で各被験者から採取した被験薬の投与前及び4回目の投与後5時間以内に各被験者から採取した脳脊髄液に含まれるヘパラン硫酸及びデルマタン硫酸の濃度の測定結果を図1及び図2にそれぞれ示す。ヘパラン硫酸についてみると,被験薬の投与前は,被験者の脳脊髄液に含まれるヘパラン硫酸の濃度の平均値は1132 ng/mLであったが,投与後の当該濃度の平均値は467 ng/mLと大幅に減少した(図1)。非ムコ多糖症患者における脳脊髄液に含まれるヘパラン硫酸の濃度の平均値は概ね360 ng/mLであることから,被験薬の投与を更に継続させることにより脳脊髄液に含まれるヘパラン硫酸の濃度を非ムコ多糖症患者レベルにまで減少させることができると予測された。なお,ヘパラン硫酸及びデルマタン硫酸の濃度は,実施例12~14に記載の方法により測定した。
実施例6で各被験者から採取した被験薬の投与前及び4回目の投与1週間後であって通常のムコ多糖症I型の酵素補充療法が施される前に各被験者からそれぞれ採取した血清に含まれるヘパラン硫酸及びデルマタン硫酸の濃度の測定結果を図3及び図4にそれぞれ示す。ヘパラン硫酸についてみると,被験薬の投与前は,被験者の血清に含まれるヘパラン硫酸の濃度の平均値は359 ng/mLであったが,投与後の当該濃度の平均値は217 ng/mLと大幅に減少した(図3)。デルマタン硫酸についてみると,被験薬の投与前は,被験者の血清に含まれるデルマタン硫酸の濃度の平均値は965 ng/mLであったが,投与後の当該濃度の平均値は867 ng/mLと減少した(図4)。
被験薬の投与期間中,全ての被験者において重篤な有害事象は認められなかった。すなわち,被験薬が,安全に0.1~4 mg/kg体重の用量で1週間に1回投与することができることを示すものである。
臨床試験(第II期)は,被験薬を3ヶ月投与したときの,安全性及びムコ多糖症I型に対する有効性を確認するためのものである。
(脳脊髄液に含まれるヘパラン硫酸及びデルマタン硫酸の濃度)

実施例9で第一試験の各被験者から採取した被験薬の投与前及び12回目の投与1週間後であって通常のムコ多糖症I型の酵素補充療法が施される前に各被験者からそれぞれ採取した血清に含まれるヘパラン硫酸及びデルマタン硫酸の濃度の測定結果を図11及び図12にそれぞれ示す。ヘパラン硫酸,デルマタン硫酸ともに,被験薬の投与前と比べて投与後の濃度が概ね減少する傾向が確認された(図11,図12)。
被験薬の投与期間中,全ての被験者において重篤な有害事象は認められなかった。すなわち,被験薬が,安全に0.1 mg/kg~4 mg/kg体重の用量で1週間に1回投与することができることを示すものである。
