Description

BIFUNCTIONAL DEGRADERS OF ANTI-PLA2R ANTIBODY FIELD OF THE INVENTION [001] The invention generally relates to medicinal preparations characterized by the non-active ingredients used, e.g., carriers or inert additives, targeting or modifying agents chemically bound to the active ingredient, the non-active ingredient being chemically bound to the active ingredient, e.g., polymer-drug conjugates the non-active ingredient being a modifying agent the modifying agent being an antibody, an immunoglobulin or a fragment thereof, e.g., an Fc-fragment the modifying agent being an antibody or an immunoglobulin bearing at least one antigen-binding site the antibody targeting a receptor, a cell surface antigen or a cell surface determinant. Specifically, the invention relates to bifunctional molecules containing a circulating protein-binding moiety that binds to anti-PLA2R antibody for the treatment of membranous nephropathy. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [002] Membranous nephropathy (primary membranous nephropathy, pMN) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the accumulation of immune complexes in the renal glomeruli. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is a glomerular disease, causing fatigue, swelling, and high cholesterol. The current standard of care is an immunosuppressive therapy. High-risk patients receive immunosuppressive therapy. Cyclophosphamide is used in patients with severe decline in kidney function. [003] The phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R1) is an autoantigen in membranous nephropathy patients. A mouse model of phospholipase A2 receptor 1-associated membranous nephropathy mimics podocyte injury in patients a transgenic mouse line expressing murine full-length PLA2R1 in podocytes. Meyer-Schwesinger et al., Kidney International, 97(5), 913-919 (2020). [004] No specific therapy exists for Idiopathic membranous nephropathy. About one-third of patients eventually develop kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within five-fifteen years despite standard-of-care immunosuppressive treatment, requiring kidney allograft. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy recurs in 50% of all kidney allograft recipients.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [035] The following detailed description is provided to aid persons having ordinary skill in the biomedical art. Exemplary embodiments are described. However, these embodiments are only exemplary. This disclosure is not limited thereto but is defined by the scope of the appended claims. Persons having ordinary skill in the biomedical art may make modifications and variations in the embodiments described in this specification without departing from the spirit or scope of this disclosure. Industrial Applicability [036] The invention provides a medically useful composition of matter (agent, TRAP) for the treating or slowing down progression of diseases that are manifestations of anti-PLA2R antibody disfunction, such as membranous nephropathy. [037] The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) organization issues guidelines for treatment for physicians. KDIGO recommends using anti-PLA2R titers for treatment guidance. Eighty % of idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients have anti-PLA2R antibodies. High anti-PLA2R titers are associated with poor prognosis, worsened disease, and lower chance of spontaneous remission. Depletion of anti-PLA2R by immunosuppressive therapy is predictive of disease remission. See KDIGO 2021 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Glomerular Diseases. Kidney international, Vol.
10 30124-WO-PCT 100, Issue 45, Supplement (October 2021). Changes in anti-PLA2R antibodies levels during follow-up can help risk estimation and patient stratification. Persistent anti-PLA2R titers is predictive of poor outcome. [038] About 80% of idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients are anti-PLA2R antibody- positive. Despite treatment, titers persist in 30-40% of patients. These patients typically develop end- stage renal disease and require kidney transplant. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy recurs in 50% of allograft recipients. [039] Chronic membranous nephropathy can cause significant proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome and can progress to kidney failure and nephrotic kidneys in severe cases. Autoantibodies bind to phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) on podocytes in the Bowman’s capsule, injuring glomerular basement membranes. Subepithelial immune complex deposits leads to podocyte injury and thickening of basement membrane, which leads further to proteinuria and hyperlipidemia, resulting in kidney failure. Patients rendered anti-PLA2r negative by immunosuppression have greater disease remission. Lu et al., Medicine (Baltimore), 98(18), e15303 (May 2019). [040] The standard of care is supportive care includes rituximab, cyclophosphamide, calcineurin INH, glucocorticoids, B-cell therapies, and anticoagulants, as well as therapies that address non- autoantibody-targeted systems including the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), angiotensin- converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin receptors, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). Rituximab or cyclophosphamide + glucocorticoids are first-line therapies but have undesirable side effects. Combination of plasmapheresis with standard of care shows more favorable outcomes. See Rovin et al. KDIGO 2021 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Glomerular Diseases. Kidney Int (2021) 100(4, Supplement):S1–276, and Bennani et al., J. Pers. Med., 14(3), 249 (2024). [041] The inventors conceived of an anti-PLA2R degrader that is a safe and effective treatment to address this unmet need. Disease modifying therapies that stop progression to end-stage renal disease. PLA2R antigen-specific MoDEs rapidly remove pathogenic autoantibodies. Deep reductions in anti- PLA2R autoantibodies will prevent further glomerular injury.

These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or section from another element, component, region, layer, or section. A first element, component, region, layer, or section could be called a second element, component, region, layer, or section without departing from the teachings of the present embodiments. [0064] The term “hepatocyte” has the biomedical art-recognized meaning of a cell of the main parenchymal tissue of the liver. Hepatocytes make up 55-65% of the liver's mass. [0065] The term “humanized” has the biomedical art-recognized meaning a protein, e.g., an antibody, is genetically engineered so it closely resembles the polypeptide structure of the human homologue. A variable domain of an antibody of rodent origin can be fused to a constant domain of human origin, keeping the specificity of the rodent antibody. The human origin domain need not originate directly from a human in that it is first synthesized in a human. Instead, human domains can be generated in rodents whose genome incorporates human immunoglobulin genes. The antibody can be partially humanized. In one approach, there are four general steps used to humanize a monoclonal antibody, These are (1) determining the nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence of the starting antibody light and heavy variable domains; (2) designing the humanized antibody, i.e., deciding which antibody framework region to use during the humanizing process; (3) the actual humanizing methodologies/techniques; and (4) the transfection and expression of the humanized antibody.

Disease severity is characterized by proteinuria, decrease in glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and anti-PLA2R antibody titers. M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is the most often targeted antigen, with antibodies being present in about 80% of idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients. Idiopathic
16 30124-WO-PCT membranous nephropathy is driven by autoimmunity to podocytes, causing increased thickness of the glomerular membrane and changes in podocyte morphology. [0068] The term “IgG” antibody has the biomedical art-recognized meaning. Each IgG molecule includes the basic four-chain immunoglobulin structure—two γ (gamma) heavy chains and two identical light chains (either kappa or lambda)—and carries two identical antigen-binding sites. There are four subclasses of IgG, each with minor differences in its H chains but with distinct biological properties. [0069] The term “IgG1” antibody has the biomedical art-recognized meaning of an IgG antibody where the Ig gamma-1 chain C region is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGHG1 gene. [0070] The term “IgG2” antibody has the biomedical art-recognized meaning of an IgG antibody where the Ig gamma-2 chain C region is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGHG2 gene. [0071] The term “IgG4” antibody has the biomedical art-recognized meaning of an IgG antibody where the Ig gamma-4 chain C region is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IGHG4 gene. IgG4 has little effector function. IgG4 cannot fix complement. [0072] The term “IVIG” has the biomedical art-recognized meaning of the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).

Methods of selecting subjects for administration of a composition of matter. [042] The presence of anti-PLA2R antibodies can diagnose idiopathic membranous nephropathy without a kidney biopsy. Anti-PLA2R antibodies are highly specific to idiopathic membranous nephropathy (~100%) and found in ~80% of patients. [043] The synthetic 31-mer peptide recognizes the majority of anti-PLA2R antibodies in idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients. The 31-mer peptide can be used in assays to detect anti-PLA2R antibodies in idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients. [044] Laboratory testing for autoimmune disease uses well validated assays to establish the presence of autoantibodies. For membranous nephropathy, autoantibodies to the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R) were first described in 2009. Beck et al., N. Engl. J. Med.361, 11– 21 (2009). The use of serological testing extends beyond diagnosis to encompass prognosis and assessment of disease activity and treatment response. Quantitative assessment of autoantibody production can provide a biomarker for clinical decision-making, as shown by the antibody response to PLA2R in membranous nephropathy. van de Logt et al., Kidney Int.93, 1016–1017 (2018); and Wu et al., Medicine 97, e11018 (2018). Methods of measuring the removal of anti-PLA2R antibody from a patient or subject. [0066] Clinically approved anti-PLA2R tests are commercially available. See, e.g., Mayo Clinic Laboratories Test ID: PLA2M ELISA assay, CPT code information: 83520.
20 30124-WO-PCT Methods of treatment by administering composition of matter. [0067] The ideal mode of administration depends on where treatment is taking place, whether a hospital or outpatient. [0068] In untreated patients with active disease, the previously recommended first-line agent for induction of remission is glucocorticoids, e.g., prednisolone 30–40 mg per day for 2–4 weeks, then gradually tapered over 3 to 6 months, unless contraindications exist. Glucocorticoids characteristically result in a rapid improvement in clinical features and often a resolution of radiographic features. However, where advanced fibrotic lesions have resulted in irreversible damage, the response to glucocorticoids and other current treatment options may be poor or even absent.

Anti-PLA2R below LOD. Improvement in eGFR Proteinuria <3.5 g/d. Normal eGFR Safety & tolerability Improved side effect profile relative to standard of care. Well tolerated profile for chronic treatment. [045] Idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients are to be stratified after immunosuppressive treatment.80% of idiopathic membranous nephropathy patients are anti-PLA2R+, and despite treatment, titers persist in 30-40% of patients. These patients typically develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and require kidney transplant. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy recurs in 50% of allograft
21 30124-WO-PCT recipients. The efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy can be predicted by its effect on anti-PLA2R titers. [046] Reduction of anti-PLA2R levels is followed by partial or complete remission in most patients. Conversely, persistent anti-PLA2R levels are associated with no remission and poor outcome. Faster depletion in anti-PLA2R levels in patients is also associated with earlier reduction in proteinuria and improved nephroprotection. [047] After the bifunctional degrader of the invention and the bound anti-PLA2R antibody are endocytosed, they are released from the ASGPR through depletion of calcium from the endosome and changes in binding site amino acid protonation changes due to a decrease in pH. The ASGPR is recycled back to the hepatocyte surface. Endocytosed proteins are trafficked to late endosomes, which are fused with lysosomes. Lysosomal proteases then degrade endocytosed proteins, permanently removing them from circulation. The chemical structure of the composition of matter (agent, TRAP). [0069] In an embodiment, the invention composes matter (agent, TRAP) comprising: an anti-PLA2R antibody-binding moiety, a cellular receptor-binding moiety which binds to hepatocytes or other degrading cells through asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPR) of hepatocytes or other cell receptors on the surface degrading cells in a patient or subject, and a linker moiety linking the antibody moiety and the cellular receptor-binding moiety.

In many embodiments, no separate reactions/steps are performed to remove antibody-binding moieties. As known by persons having ordinary skill in the biomedical art, by performing connection of cellular receptor-binding moiety and release of antibody-binding moiety in a single reaction/operation, provided technologies can avoid separate steps for antibody-binding moiety removal and can improve overall efficiency, e.g., by simplify operations, increasing overall yield, etc. , reduce manufacturing cost, improve product purity, e.g., by avoiding exposure to antibody-binding moiety removal conditions, which typically involve one or more of reduction, oxidation, hydrolysis, e.g., of ester groups), etc., conditions and may damage target agent moieties, e.g., for protein agent moieties, protein amino acid residues, overall structures, or post- translational changes, e.g., glycans of antibodies) thereof.
