Definitions
- Turnover of cells begins with the induction of an apoptotic program or other cellular changes that mark them for removal, and the subsequent recognition of markers by phagocytes, including macrophages, dendritic cells, and the like. This process requires a specific and selective removal of unwanted cells. Unlike healthy cells, the unwanted/aged/dying cells display markers or ligands called "eat-me” signals, i.e. "altered self", which can in turn be recognized by receptors on the phagocytes.
- Healthy cells may display "don't eat-me” signals that actively inhibit phagocytosis; these signals are either downregulated in the dying cells, are present in an altered conformation or they are superseded by the upregulation of "eat-me” or pro-phagocytic signals.
- the cell surface protein CD47 on healthy cells and its engagement of a phagocyte receptor, SIRPa constitutes a key "don't eat-me” signal that can turn off engulfment mediated by multiple modalities, including apoptotic cell clearance and FcR mediated phagocytosis.
- Blocking the CD47 mediated engagement of SIRPa on a phagocyte, or the loss of CD47 expression in knockout mice, can cause removal of live cells and non-aged erythrocytes. Blocking SIRPa also allows engulfment of targets that are not normally phagocytosed, for those cells where pre-phagocytic signals are also present.
- CD47 is a broadly expressed transmembrane glycoprotein with a single Ig-like domain and five membrane spanning regions, which functions as a cellular ligand for SIRPa with binding mediated through the NH2-terminal V-like domain of SIRPa.
- SIRPa is expressed primarily on myeloid cells, including macrophages, granulocytes, myeloid dendritic cells (DCs), mast cells, and their precursors, including hematopoietic stem cells.
- Structural determinants on SIRPa that mediate CD47 binding are discussed by Lee et al. (2007) J. Immunol. 179:7741 -7750; Hatherley et al. (2007) J. B.C.
- PCD programmed cell death
- phagocytic cell removal are common ways that an organism responds in order to remove damaged, precancerous, or infected cells.
- the cells that survive this organismal response e.g., cancerous cells, chronically infected cells, etc.
- CD47 the "don't eat me” signal, is constitutively upregulated on a wide variety of diseased cells, cancer cells, and infected cells, allowing these cells to evade phagocytosis.
- Anti-CD47 agents that block the interaction between CD47 on one cell (e.g., a cancer cell, an infected cell, etc.) and SIRPa on another cell (e.g., a phagocytic cell) counteract the increase of CD47 expression and facilitate the phagocytosis of the cancer cell and/or the infected cell.
- anti-CD47 agents can be used to treat and/or protect against a wide variety of conditions/disorders.
- an initial high dose of an anti-CD47 agent can cause a dose-dependent loss of red blood cells (RBCs) in mice and non-human primate (NHP) models.
- RBCs red blood cells
- NHS non-human primate
- the severity of this anemia can preclude the use of higher doses that are required to achieve sustained serum concentrations associated with therapeutic efficacy.
- the present invention provides methods by which the erythrocyte toxicity of anti-CD47 agents is mitigated, thereby enabling treatment with therapeutically effective amounts of anti-CD47 agents.
- Methods are provided for treating an individual with a therapeutic dose of anti-CD47 agent by administering a primer agent prior to administering a therapeutically effective dose of an anti-CD47 agent to the individual.
- the methods of the invention find use in optimizing therapies aimed at modulating CD47-mediated phagocytosis.
- the individual is being treated with a dose of anti-CD47 agent for cancer.
- the individual is being treated with a dose of anti-CD47 agent for infection with an intracellular pathogen.
- a therapeutically effective dose of an anti-CD47 agent is administered from about 3 days to about 21 days after administering a primer agent.
- two or more primer agents are administered.
- Suitable primer agents include an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA), and/or a priming dose of an anti-CD47 agent.
- ESA erythropoiesis-stimulating agent
- An anti-CD47 agent for use in the methods of the invention interferes with binding between CD47 present on a target cell, including without limitation a cancer cell, a cell infected with an intracellular pathogen, a stem cell, etc., to SIRPa present on a phagocytic cell. Generally both such cells are present in the individual being treated.
- Such methods in the presence of a pro-phagocytic signal, can increase phagocytosis of the target cell.
- the subject methods can be used to treat a subject for any disease susceptible to blockade of CD47-mediated SIRPa signaling.
- Suitable anti-CD47 agents include soluble SIRPa polypeptides; soluble CD47; anti-CD47 antibodies, anti-SIRPa antibodies, and the like, where the term antibodies encompasses antibody fragments and variants thereof, as known in the art.
- Therapeutic doses of anti-CD47 agents as described above can lead to a loss of erythrocytes (RBCs) and anemia.
- RBCs erythrocytes
- the methods of the invention address this problem, and surprisingly show that a primer agent, as used herein, significantly reduces toxicity due to loss of erythrocytes. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the primer agent increases production of reticulocytes (immature RBC), which may be more resistant to CD47 mediated phagocytosis and therefore are less susceptible to loss during subsequent administration of the anti-CD47 agent.
- Certain embodiments of the invention optionally include a step of determining responsiveness of an individual to administration of the primer agent. For example, a reticulocyte count, or a decrease in hemoglobin, can be used to determine whether administration of the primer agent increased production of reticulocytes. A reticulocyte count can be performed prior to and following primer agent administration, allowing for a period of time between counts that is effective for an increase in reticulocytes. Alternatively, any suitable methods for determination of increased erythropoiesis can be used.
- a therapeutic dose of an anti-CD47 agent is administered.
- the therapeutic dose can be administered in number of different ways. In some embodiments, two or more therapeutically effective doses are administered after a primer agent is administered. In some embodiments a therapeutically effective dose of an anti-CD47 agent is administered as two or more doses of escalating concentration, in others the doses are equivalent.

- the present invention relates to methods of treating a subject with a therapeutic dose of anti-CD47 agent by first administering a primer agent.
- Anti-CD47 agent refers to any agent that reduces the binding of CD47 (e.g., on a target cell) to SIRPa (e.g., on a phagocytic cell).
- suitable anti-CD47 reagents include SIRPa reagents, including without limitation high affinity SIRPa polypeptides, anti-SIRPa antibodies, soluble CD47 polypeptides, and anti-CD47 antibodies or antibody fragments.
- a suitable anti-CD47 agent e.g. an anti-CD47 antibody, a SIRPa reagent, etc. specifically binds CD47 to reduce the binding of CD47 to SIRPa.
- a suitable anti-CD47 agent e.g., an anti-SIRPa antibody, a soluble CD47 polypeptide, etc. specifically binds SIRPa to reduce the binding of CD47 to SIRPa.
- a suitable anti-CD47 agent that binds SIRPa does not activate SIRPa (e.g., in the SIRPa-expressing phagocytic cell).
- the efficacy of a suitable anti-CD47 agent can be assessed by assaying the agent (further described below). In an exemplary assay, target cells are incubated in the presence or absence of the candidate agent.
- An agent for use in the methods of the invention will up-regulate phagocytosis by at least 10% (e.g., at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 100%, at least 120%, at least 140%, at least 160%, at least 180%, or at least 200%) compared to phagocytosis in the absence of the agent.
- an in vitro assay for levels of tyrosine phosphorylation of SIRPa will show a decrease in phosphorylation by at least 5% (e.g., at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or 100%) compared to phosphorylation observed in absence of the candidate agent.
- the anti-CD47 agent does not activate CD47 upon binding.
- the anti-CD47 agent does not directly induce cell death of a CD47-expressing cell.
- Some pathogens express a CD47-analog (i.e., a CD47 mimic) (e.g., the M128L protein) that acts as a virulence factor to enable infection (Cameron et al., Virology. 2005 Jun 20;337(1 ):55-67), and some pathogens induce the expression of endogenous CD47 in the host cell.
- a CD47-analog i.e., a CD47 mimic
- M128L protein e.g., the M128L protein
- an anti-CD47 agent e.g., anti-CD47 antibody, a SIRPa reagent, a SIRPa antibody, a soluble CD47 polypeptide, etc.
- a CD47 analog i.e., a CD47 mimic
- a suitable anti-CD47 agent e.g., a SIRPa reagent, an anti-CD47 antibody, etc.

- An anti-CD47 agent can be used in any of the methods provided herein when the pathogen is a pathogen that provides a CD47 analog.
- CD47 encompasses CD47 as well as CD47 analogs (i.e., CD47 mimics).
- SIRPa reagent comprises the portion of SIRPa that is sufficient to bind CD47 at a recognizable affinity, which normally lies between the signal sequence and the transmembrane domain, or a fragment thereof that retains the binding activity.
- a suitable SIRPa reagent reduces (e.g., blocks, prevents, etc.) the interaction between the native proteins SIRPa and CD47.
- the SIRPa reagent will usually comprise at least the d1 domain of SIRPa.
- a SIRPa reagent is a fusion protein, e.g., fused in frame with a second polypeptide.
- the second polypeptide is capable of increasing the size of the fusion protein, e.g., so that the fusion protein will not be cleared from the circulation rapidly.
- the second polypeptide is part or whole of an immunoglobulin Fc region. The Fc region aids in phagocytosis by providing an "eat me” signal, which enhances the block of the "don't eat me” signal provided by the high affinity SIRPa reagent.
- the second polypeptide is any suitable polypeptide that is substantially similar to Fc, e.g., providing increased size, multimerization domains, and/or additional binding or interaction with Ig molecules.
- a subject anti-CD47 agent is a "high affinity SIRPa reagent", which includes SIRPa -derived polypeptides and analogs thereof.
- High affinity SIRPa reagents are described in international application PCT/US13/21937, which is hereby specifically incorporated by reference. High affinity SIRPa reagents are variants of the native SIRPa protein.
- a high affinity SIRPa reagent is soluble, where the polypeptide lacks the SIRPa transmembrane domain and comprises at least one amino acid change relative to the wild-type SIRPa sequence, and wherein the amino acid change increases the affinity of the SIRPa polypeptide binding to CD47, for example by decreasing the off-rate by at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, at least 50-fold, at least 100-fold, at least 500- fold, or more.
- a high affinity SIRPa reagent comprises the portion of SIRPa that is sufficient to bind
- the high affinity SIRPa reagent will usually comprise at least the d1 domain of
- SIRPa with modified amino acid residues to increase affinity.
- SIRPa variant of the present invention is a fusion protein, e.g., fused in frame with a second polypeptide.
- the second polypeptide is capable of increasing the size of the fusion protein, e.g., so that the fusion protein will not be cleared from the circulation rapidly.
- the second polypeptide is part or whole of an immunoglobulin
- the Fc region aids in phagocytosis by providing an "eat me” signal, which enhances the block of the "don't eat me” signal provided by the high affinity SIRPa reagent.
- the second polypeptide is any suitable polypeptide that is substantially similar to Fc, e.g., providing increased size, multimerization domains, and/or additional binding or interaction with Ig molecules.
- the amino acid changes that provide for increased affinity are localized in the d1 domain, and thus high affinity SIRPa reagents comprise a d1 domain of human SIRPa, with at least one amino acid change relative to the wild-type sequence within the d1 domain.
- Such a high affinity SIRPa reagent optionally comprises additional amino acid sequences, for example antibody Fc sequences; portions of the wild-type human SIRPa protein other than the d1 domain, including without limitation residues 150 to 374 of the native protein or fragments thereof, usually fragments contiguous with the d1 domain; and the like.
- High affinity SIRPa reagents may be monomeric or multimeric, i.e. dimer, trimer, tetramer, etc.
- a subject anti-CD47 agent is an antibody that specifically binds CD47 (i.e., an anti-CD47 antibody) and reduces the interaction between CD47 on one cell (e.g., an infected cell) and SIRPa on another cell (e.g., a phagocytic cell).
- a suitable anti-CD47 antibody does not activate CD47 upon binding.
- suitable antibodies include clones B6H12, 5F9, 8B6, and C3 (for example as described in International Patent Publication WO 201 1/143624, herein specifically incorporated by reference).
- Suitable anti-CD47 antibodies include fully human, humanized or chimeric versions of such antibodies.
- Humanized antibodies are especially useful for in vivo applications in humans due to their low antigenicity.
- caninized, felinized, etc. antibodies are especially useful for applications in dogs, cats, and other species respectively.
- Antibodies of interest include humanized antibodies, or caninized, felinized, equinized, bovinized, porcinized, etc., antibodies, and variants thereof.
- a subject anti-CD47 agent is an antibody that specifically binds SIRPa (i.e., an anti-SIRPa antibody) and reduces the interaction between CD47 on one cell (e.g., an infected cell) and SIRPa on another cell (e.g., a phagocytic cell).
- Suitable anti-SIRPa antibodies can bind SIRPa without activating or stimulating signaling through SIRPa because activation of SIRPa would inhibit phagocytosis. Instead, suitable anti-SIRPa antibodies facilitate the preferential phagocytosis of inflicted cells over normal cells.
- a suitable anti- SIRPa antibody specifically binds SIRPa (without activating/stimulating enough of a signaling response to inhibit phagocytosis) and blocks an interaction between SIRPa and CD47.
- Suitable anti-SIRPa antibodies include fully human, humanized or chimeric versions of such antibodies. Humanized antibodies are especially useful for in vivo applications in humans due to their low antigenicity. Similarly caninized, felinized, etc. antibodies are especially useful for applications in dogs, cats, and other species respectively.
- Antibodies of interest include humanized antibodies, or caninized, felinized, equinized, bovinized, porcinized, etc., antibodies, and variants thereof.
- a subject anti-CD47 agent is a soluble CD47 polypeptide that specifically binds SIRPa and reduces the interaction between CD47 on one cell (e.g., an infected cell) and SIRPa on another cell (e.g., a phagocytic cell).
- a suitable soluble CD47 polypeptide can bind SIRPa without activating or stimulating signaling through SIRPa because activation of SIRPa would inhibit phagocytosis. Instead, suitable soluble CD47 polypeptides facilitate the preferential phagocytosis of infected cells over non- infected cells.
- a suitable soluble CD47 polypeptide specifically binds SIRPa without activating/stimulating enough of a signaling response to inhibit phagocytosis.
- a suitable soluble CD47 polypeptide can be a fusion protein (for example as structurally described in US Patent Publication US20100239579, herein specifically incorporated by reference). However, only fusion proteins that do not activate/stimulate SIRPa are suitable for the methods provided herein.

- Primer agent refers to an agent that primes a subject for a future administration of a therapeutically effective dose of anti-CD47 agent.
- the inventors have discovered that when a therapeutically effective dose of anti-CD47 agent is administered to a subject without first administering a primer agent, the high required dose can cause a dose-dependent loss of erythrocytes (red blood cells, RBCs) (e.g., as shown below in mice and non-human primate (NHP) models).
- RBCs red blood cells
- NHS non-human primate
- the loss of RBCs can be monitored, for example, by measuring the percent change in hematocrit over time and/or by measuring hemoglobin (e.g., percent change over time, g/dL, etc.) over time ( Figure 1 - Figure 3 and Figure 7 - Figure 9).
- the severity of the anemia caused by the loss of RBCs can therefore preclude the use of a therapeutically effective dose of anti-CD47 agent.
- the subject experiences no adverse effects beyond a temporary, mild anemia that can occur following administration of the primer agent.
- a primer agent serves to prime a subject for a future administration of a therapeutically effective dose of anti-CD47.
- Subject methods that use a primer agent are particularly relevant when treating primates because primates are sensitive to RBC count and are prone to develop anemia.
- the subject is a primate (e.g., human, prosimians, simians, lemurs, lorisoids, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, squirrel monkeys, baboons, macaques, gibbons, great apes, and the like).

- the dose of ESA that should be administered depends on the nature of the agent that is used, and also depends on numerous subject-specific factors (e.g., age, weight, etc.). Methods of determining an appropriate dose of an ESA are known in the art.
- the ESA is administered at a dose according to manufacturer's suggestions and in some cases may be as low as about 50 units/kg, about 100 units/kg or about 150 units/kg of body weight or as high as about 17,000 units/kg of body weight.
- the primer agent comprises a sub-therapeutic dose of an anti- CD47 agent.
- the inventors have discovered that administration of a sub-therapeutic of an anti-CD47 agent as a primer agent effectively primes the subject for a future administration of a therapeutically effective dose of anti-CD47 agent, preventing severe anemia otherwise associated with the therapeutically effective dose.
- priming dose refers to a dose of a primer agent (e.g., an anti-CD47 agent, an ESA, etc.) that primes a subject for administration of a therapeutically effective dose of anti-CD47 agent such that the therapeutically effective dose does not result in a severe loss of RBCs (reduced hematocrit or reduced hemoglobin).

- This period of time is, for example, sufficient to provide for enhanced reticulocyte production by the individual.
- two or more primer agents are administered prior to administering a therapeutically effective dose of an anti-CD47 agent.
- the primer agents can be the same agent or can be different agents.
- the first primer agent can be administered at the same dose or at a different dose as any subsequently administered primer agent.
- two or more primer agents are administered simultaneously and/or the administration of two or primer agents overlap in time, where the administration of one may begin or end before or after another primer agent.
- a therapeutically effective dose of an anti-CD47 agent can be achieved in a number of different ways. In some cases, two or more therapeutically effective doses are administered after a primer agent is administered. Suitable administration of a therapeutically effective dose can entail administration of a single dose, or can entail administration of doses daily, semi-weekly, weekly, once every two weeks, once a month, annually, etc.
- a therapeutically effective dose is administered as two or more doses of escalating concentration (i.e., increasing doses), where (i) all of the doses are therapeutic doses, or where (ii) a sub-therapeutic dose (or two or more sub-therapeutic doses) is initially given and therapeutic doses are achieved by said escalation.
- a therapeutically effective dose can be administered weekly, beginning with a sub-therapeutic dose (e.g., a dose of 5 mg/kg), and each subsequent dose can be increased by a particular increment (e.g., by 5 mg/kg), or by variable increments, until a therapeutic dose (e.g., 30 mg/kg) is reached, at which point administration may cease or may continue (e.g., continued therapeutic doses, e.g., doses of 30 mg/kg).

- each subsequent dose can be increased by a particular increment (e.g., by 5 mg/kg), or by variable increments, until a therapeutic dose (e.g., 30 mg/kg) is reached, at which point administration may cease or may continue (e.g., continued therapeutic doses, e.g., doses of 30 mg/kg).
- a therapeutically effective dose can be administered weekly, beginning with a therapeutic dose (e.g., a dose of 10 mg/kg), and each subsequent dose can be increased by a particular increment (e.g., by 10 mg/kg), or by variable increments, until a therapeutic dose (e.g., 30 mg/kg, 100 mg/ml, etc.) is reached, at which point administration may cease or may continue (e.g., continued therapeutic doses, e.g., doses of 30 mg/kg, 100 mg/ml, etc.).
- administration of a therapeutically effective dose can be a continuous infusion and the dose can altered (e.g., escalated) over time.
- Dosage and frequency may vary depending on the half-life of the anti-CD47 agent in the patient. It will be understood by one of skill in the art that such guidelines will be adjusted for the molecular weight of the active agent, e.g. in the use of antibody fragments, in the use of antibody conjugates, in the use of SIRPa reagents, in the use of soluble CD47 peptides etc.
- the dosage may also be varied for localized administration, e.g. intranasal, inhalation, etc., or for systemic administration, e.g. i.m., i.p., i.v., and the like.
- a step of determining whether administration of the primer agent was effective is performed prior to the step of administering a therapeutically effective dose of an anti-CD47 agent to the subject. If the administration of the primer agent was not effective, then it may be desirable to begin anew and again administer a primer agent. In such a case, a different dose and/or a different primer agent may be used, or the same dose and same primer agent may be used. If the administration of the primer agent was effective (i.e., the reticulocyte count indicates that the administration was effective, as described below in more detail), then a therapeutically effective dose of an anti-CD47 agent can be delivered.
- a priming dose of a primer agent may increase the number of RBCs in a subject (which occurs after administering ESA primer agents as well as after administering priming doses of anti-CD47 agents), evaluation of recently produced (i.e., young) blood cells (i.e., reticulocytes) can serve as an evaluation tool for determining whether administration of the primer agent was effective.
- Methods of evaluating reticulocytes include measuring the absolute or relative number of reticulocytes in a blood sample (e.g., a reticulocyte count can be performed on a blood sample from a subject prior to and following administration of a primer agent). Methods to evaluate and/or count reticulocytes are known by one of ordinary skill in the art and any convenient method may be used. An example of a suitable method includes, but is not limited to counting the number of reticulocytes in a sample based on a morphological evaluation. Reticulocytes exhibit a mesh-like network that becomes visible with particular stains, e.g., new methylene blue (NMB). Reticulocytes appear slightly bluer than other red cells when looked at with the normal Romanowsky stain. Reticulocytes are also slightly larger, which can be picked up as a high MCV (mean corpuscular volume) with a full blood count.
- MCV mean corpuscular volume
- Another example of a suitable method to evaluate reticulocytes includes, but is not limited to counting the number of reticulocytes based on the expression of a marker of young/immature RBCs (e.g., CD71 expression is increased in young RBCs relative to older RBCs and CD71 can serve as a marker to identify reticulocytes).
- a marker of young/immature RBCs e.g., CD71 expression is increased in young RBCs relative to older RBCs and CD71 can serve as a marker to identify reticulocytes.
- Another example of a suitable method to evaluate reticulocytes includes, but is not limited to counting the number of reticulocytes in a sample based on measuring the amount of fluorescence exhibited by cells after contacting the samples with a fluorescent dye (e.g., thiazole orange, polymethine, etc.) that marks nucleic acid (RNA and DNA), and is therefore a non-selective nucleic acid dye.
- a fluorescent dye e.g., thiazole orange, polymethine, etc.
- a non-selective nucleic acid dye can stain reticulocytes' residual RNA while a DNA-selective dye (e.g., DRAQ5), which can be used in conjunction with a non-selective nucleic acid dye (e.g., thiazole orange), will not stain reticulocytes because reticulocytes have no DNA (reticuloctyes are therefore DRAQ5 negative).
- DRAQ5 DNA-selective dye
- a comparatively middle level of fluorescence distinguishes reticulocytes from mature RBCs (which have neither RNA nor DNA, and therefore very little fluorescence) and from lymphocytes (which have a large amount of DNA, unlike reticulocytes).
- reticulocyte counts can't be performed in an automated manner (e.g., using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)).
- FACS fluorescence-activated cell sorting
- Another example of a suitable method to determine whether administration of the primer agent was effective includes measuring the level of EPO in the blood. While ESAs can be used to directly stimulate EPO production, priming doses of anti-CD47 agents also cause increases in EPO levels. As such, the step of determining whether administration of the primer agent was effective can comprise measuring the level of EPO in the blood (e.g., prior to and following administration of a primer agent).
- Another example of a suitable method to determine whether administration of the primer agent was effective includes measuring hemoglobin.
- Methods to measure hemoblobin are known by one of ordinary skill in the art and any convenient method may be used.
- Hemoglobin is usually measured as a part of the complete blood count (CBC) from a blood sample.
- Laboratory hemoglobin test methods require a blood sample (arterial, venous, or capillary) and analysis on a hematology analyzer and CO-oximeter. Additionally, noninvasive hemoglobin test methods (e.g., Pulse CO-Oximetry) may be used.
- pulse CO-Oximetry may be used as one non-limiting example of measuring hemoglobin.
- red blood cells are broken down to get hemoglobin into solution.

The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition.
- MIAP410 (lgG1 isotype) or MIAP470 (lgG2a isotype) was administered to wild type mice. This antibody dose is roughly equivalent to a 10 mg/kg dose. Blood was collected from retro-orbital plexus and CBC analysis was performed on HemaTrue hematology analyzer 1 ,3, and 6 days after antibody injection. The percent change in hematocrit (HCT) and RBC values are shown in Figure 1 . All anti-CD47 mAb treated mice developed anemia, the nadir of which occurred about 3 days after injection. The MIAP470 caused a more significant anemia, which is likely due to differential FcR mediated effects caused by the lgG1 and lgG2a isotypes.
- CD47 /_ mice were acquired from Jackson Laboratory and injected IP with 250 ⁇ g of control mouse IgG, MIAP410, or MIAP470. Blood was collected and analyzed 72 hours after mAb injection. No anemia was observed in any of the injected CD47 /_ mice. The percent change in hemoglobin is shown in Figure 2. This demonstrates that the observed anemia in wild type mice was a direct result of anti-CD47 antibodies binding CD47.
- WT mice were given an IP injection of 250 ⁇ g of control mouse IgG, MIAP410, or MIAP740 every 3 days (represented by dashed vertical line in Figure 3). Erythrocyte toxicity was monitored by CBC analysis prior to each injection. An acute drop in HCT occurred upon the first antibody injection (Day 0). The second injection (on day 3) did not result in a further drop in hematocrit. Mice appeared to become resistant to subsequent injections and eventually returned to a range similar to that of control IgG treated mice. The discovery that repeated administration of anti-CD47 antibodies does not exacerbate the initial anemia is the basis of the subsequent experiments in non-human primates.
- the Hu5F9-G4 anti-CD47antibody (and its parent 5F9) binds human CD47, but does not bind mouse CD47.
- the sequence of macaque (cynomolgus) non-human primate (NHP) CD47 was aligned with human CD47 and it was determined that the two sequences contain only 3 amino acid differences in the extracellular domain (Figure 4). All 3 non-conserved amino acids are located outside of the SIRP-alpha interacting region as has been determined by published X-ray crystal structures.

- Hu5F9-G4 is administered with a loading dose capable of stimulating mild anemia and reticulocytosis without grade 3 toxicity.
- Our single dose data led us to select either 1 or 3 mg/kg on day 1 as the loading dose.
- a maintenance dose of either 10 or 30 mg/kg is administered, and continued weekly for 3 doses. Both loading doses mitigate the severity of the anemia, even with the 30 mg/kg maintenance doses, and no grade 3 toxicity develops.
- FIG. 10 presents reticulocyte count data demonstrating the level of reticulocytosis associated with various doses of an anti-CD47 agent (hu5F9-G4 antibody in this case).
- hu5F9-G4 a human bladder cancer cell line (639V) was subcutaneously transplanted into immunodeficient mice.
- Tumor bearing mice were treated with PBS or hu5F9-G4. Due to tumor burden, all PBS-treated mice were euthanized after 4 weeks of treatment. In contrast, no tumor growth was observed in the hu5F9-G4 treated cohort ( Figure 11 ).
- These mice we then monitored for an additional 4 weeks (without further hu5F9-G4 treatment). No tumor growth was observed in mice that had been treated hu5F9-G4, indicating that the tumors had been fully eliminated (Figure 11 A).
- Hu5F9-G4 concentrations between 100-200 ⁇ g/ml were associated with therapeutic efficacy (Figure 12AD).
- humanized antibodies e.g., hu5F9-G4

- Hu5F9-G4 administered as a single dose by a 1 -hour IV infusion to male cynomolgus monkeys.
- Hu5F9-G4 was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg to a single male monkey on Day 1 .
- the monkey was evaluated for changes in clinical signs, food consumption, body weight, and clinical pathology parameters (hematology, coagulation, hematology, clinical chemistry). Samples were collected for toxicokinetic analysis throughout the duration of the study; the animal was returned to the testing facility animal colony on Day 14.
- Hu5F9-G4 was well tolerated in rhesus monkeys, and the treatment- related changes observed in this study were consistent with the findings noted in the cynomolgus monkey studies conducted at Charles River Laboratories (Reno, NV).
- the initial purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and potential effects of Hu5F9-G4 administered as a 1 -hour IV infusion or by intrathecal administration in rhesus monkeys implanted with an intrathecal reservoir.
- Hu5F9-G4 administered as a 1 -hour IV infusion or by intrathecal administration in rhesus monkeys implanted with an intrathecal reservoir.
- the remaining components of the study, including the intrathecal administration phase were abandoned.
- one male rhesus monkey was administered Hu5F9-G4 via a 1 -hour IV infusion as a 3 mg/kg priming dose on Day 0, followed by a 1 mg/kg maintenance dose administered on Days 15 and 22 (the maintenance dose in the initial study design was 30 mg/kg administered on Days 8, 15, 22, and 29).
- the animal was then administered a second maintenance dose on Day 21 (however, no additional clinical pathology data was collected after Day 21 ).
- a reduction in platelets was noted two days after administration of the first maintenance dose (on Day 14), the platelets return to pre-study levels by Day 21 ; it is unclear at this time if the reduction in platelets noted in this animal was directly related to Hu5F9-G4 since this change was not observed in any other monkey studies, including the single dose rhesus monkey study.
- the anemia observed in a previous single-dose study may be related to the pharmacological action of Hu5F9-G4 as a result of binding CD47 expressed on RBCs.
- RBCs age, they gradually lose CD47 expression, lose sialic acids from glycoproteins and glycolipids, and reorganize membrane phospholipids in a manner that presumably accumulates pro-phagocytic signals, leading to their elimination by phagocytosis (Danon,
- RBC elimination by substituting gradual loss of CD47 with immediate blockade of CD47 on aging RBCs.
- the premature loss of aging RBCs is compensated by an ensuing reticulocytosis, and the initial anemia resolves as aged RBCs are replaced with younger RBCs and the age distribution of the RBC pool is shifted to younger cells.
- Hu5F9-G4 administration Another antibody candidate (FD6-lgG2) was evaluated in this study but will not be discussed in this IND.
- male cynomolgus monkeys were administered Hu5F9-G4 by a 1 -hour IV infusion as a single-dose at 1 mg/kg or once weekly at

- EPO Erythropoietin
- one monkey administered once weekly doses of Hu5F9-G4 was also administered Dexamethasone by IV injection (0.5 mg/kg) and Benadryl by intramuscular (IM) injection (5 mg/kg) on Days 1 , 2, 5, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 19, 22, 23, and 26 (Dexamethasone and Benadryl were administered at the same time) to evaluate if administration of Dexamethasone and Benadryl would reduce the Hu5F9-G4-related anemia.
- IM intramuscular
- Group 1 was released to the animal colony on Day 31 ; Groups 2 and 4 were terminated on Day 31 and Group 3 was terminated on Day 29;
- Standard safety parameters e.g., clinical observations, body weights, clinical pathology, etc.
- CD47 is expressed in the brain (add reference)
- veterinary neurologic examinations were performed. Blood was collected at time points across the study for toxicokinetics. Animals in Groups 2 and 3 were terminated on Day 31 , and the monkey in Group 4 was terminated on Day 29 (the monkey in Group 1 was returned to the Test Facility animal colony).
- Changes in clinical chemistry parameters considered related to Hu5F9-G4 administration included increased lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase (single- dose animal only), total bilirubin (minimal), and decreased haptoglobin (repeat-dose treated Hu5F9-G4 alone and Dexamethasone/Benadryl monkeys only). These changes in clinical chemistry parameters showed evidence of complete or partial recovery by the end of the study.
- Hu5F9-G4 as a single dose at 1 mg/kg or once weekly doses for 4 weeks at a dose of 3 mg/kg (alone or with pretreatment with EPO or in combination with administration of Dexamethasone/Benadryl) was well-tolerated in male cynomolgus monkeys, and treatment related effects were limited to changes in hematology (including RBC morphology) and clinical chemistry parameters. Partial or complete recovery was noted in changes in RBC mass and clinical chemistry parameters by the end of study.
- Toxicokinetics confirmed exposure to Hu5F9-G4 in both animals, and circulating concentrations of Hu5F9-G4 generally increased as the dose increased.
- Administration of Hu5F9-G4 at doses up to 100 mg/kg resulted in a median half-life of 14 hours.
- One animal in Group D (10501 ) and Group F (12501 ) was administered a second priming/maintenance dose cycle starting on Day 68 (priming dose of 3 mg/kg) followed by twice weekly maintenance doses (30 mg/kg) for 2 weeks on Days 75, 78, 82, and 85. While the first priming dose on Day 1 for Animal No. 10501 was 1 mg/kg, the second priming dose on Day 68 was increased to 3 mg/kg to evaluate if this increase in priming dose level would be tolerated (the priming dose on Days 1 and 68 for Animal No. 12501 was 3 mg/kg).
- RBC morphology consistent with changes in hematology parameters
- anisocytosis macrocytes
- microcytes not observed at priming/maintenance dose of 3/30 mg/kg
- polychromasia not observed at priming/maintenance dose of 3/30 mg/kg
- spherocytes did not occur in a dose-dependent manner, and based on the time points evaluated, showed a trend to partial or complete recovery by the end of the study.
- Haptoglobin decreased at doses > 0.1 mg/kg, however, haptoglobin was below detection levels at 3 to 4 time points for all animals, including prestudy for two Hu5F9-G4-treated animals and one PBS control animal on Day 42. Thus, the decreases in haptoglobin were considered to have an uncertain relationship to single dose administration of Hu5F9-G4 in this study.
- Hu5F9-G4 as a single priming dose up to 30 mg/kg or as a priming/maintenance dose of up to 3/30 mg/kg for up to 2 priming/maintenance dose schedules was clinically well tolerated in cynomolgus monkeys. While once weekly administration of Hu5F9-G4 at 10 mg/kg was clinically well tolerated, a dose holiday was necessary on Day 15 due to the low RBC mass; however, the hemoglobin level showed a trend for recovery on Day 19, and thus, dosing resumed for this animal. Treatment-related changes were limited to alterations in hematology (including RBC morphology) and clinical chemistry parameters.
- the data demonstrate that the anemia induced by the priming/maintenance dose schedule is not as severe as with once weekly dosing, and priming doses ⁇ 10 mg/kg are better tolerated. As such, the priming/dose schedule, with a priming dose ⁇ 10 mg/kg was used in subsequent studies.
- Hu5F9-G4 was administered to male cynomolgus monkeys as a priming dose at 5 mg/kg on Day 1 , followed by twice weekly maintenance doses at 150 mg/kg on Days 8, 1 1 , 15, 18, 22, and 25.
- the study design is presented in Table 12.
- Vehicle or Hu5F9-G4 (5 mg/kg) was administered via a 1 -hour IV infusion as a priming dose at 5 mg/kg on Day 1 followed by maintenance doses of vehicle or Hu5F9-G4 at doses of 5, 10, 50, or 100 mg/kg administered twice weekly for 7 consecutive weeks (Days 8, 1 1 , 15, 18, 22, 25, 29, 32, 36, 39, 43, 46, 50, and 53).
- the same dose level (5 mg/kg) was employed for the priming and maintenance doses for Group 5.
- Recovery animals were included in the vehicle and high dose groups to assess the reversibility of any treatment-related effect. The study design is presented in Table 14.
- Safety pharmacology parameters were incorporated into this study and included assessment of respiratory function (visual respiratory rate, cardiovascular function (ECGs), and changes in clinical signs (e.g., activity, behavior) indicative of an effect on central nervous system function.
- Blood samples were collected throughout the study for toxicokinetics and assessment of ADA responses, as well as to evaluate receptor occupancy of CD47.
- clinical pathology samples were evaluated to assess specific parameters (e.g., hemoglobin, RBC, reticulocytes) based on data from previous studies. Severe anemia was observed in two animals (Animal No.
- Animal No. 3002 had dose holidays for maintenance doses 6 - 9 (Days 25, 29, 32, and 36), and dosing resumed on Day 39 (maintenance dose 10).
- Animal No. 4504 was place on dose holiday on Day 25 (dose 6), and continued on dose holiday until the end of the dose period.
- Main study animals were terminated on Day 57 and recovery animals were terminated on Day 109. The in-life portion of the study is complete, and all data for main study animals, including histopathology, is available.
- the Day 8 toxicokinetics showed that following a priming dose of 5 mg/kg on Day 1 , and an initial maintenance dose at 5, 10, 50 or 100 mg/kg on Day 8, increases in C max were dose proportional from 10 to 100 mg/kg, but greater than dose proportional from 5 to 100 mg/kg. While increases in AUCo-72 trended towards dose proportional between 50 and 100 mg/kg, changes in AUCo-72 were greater than dose proportional from 5 to 100 or 10 to 100 mg/kg. The mean T 1/2 appeared to increase with increasing dose and ranged from 6 hours at 5 mg/kg to 52 hours at 100 mg/kg. There were no obvious gender differences in exposure.
- Day 25 toxicokinetics showed that following twice weekly dosing at 5, 10, 50 or 100 mg/kg for 3 weeks, increases in exposure (C max , AUCo-72) were greater than dose proportional from 5 to 100 mg/kg but dose proportional from 10 to 100 mg/kg.
- the apparent T 1/2 was shorter at 5 mg/kg relative to the higher doses.
- T 1/2 was similar between Day 25 and Day 8, and in other animals, T 1/2 appeared to be longer on Day 25; the mean T 1/2 ranged from 6.3 hours (5 mg/kg) to 66 hours (50 mg/kg).
- Hu5F9-G4 No carcinogenicity studies have been conducted with Hu5F9-G4. Based on the mechanism of action of Hu5F9-G4, it is not expected to be carcinogenic. Additionally, Hu5F9- G4 is neither a growth factor nor immunosuppressant. Thus, given the intended patient population and lack of mechanistic concern, carcinogenicity studies are not planned.
- Hu5F9-G4 Reproductive and developmental toxicity studies have not been performed with Hu5F9-G4. While a formal, stand-alone fertility study will not be performed; no treatment- related effects were noted in the microscopic examination of male and female reproductive organs in the 8-week toxicity study. Since the potential teratogenic effects of Hu5F9-G4, if any, in laboratory animals is unknown, Hu5F9-G4 should not be administered to pregnant women. To avoid pregnancy, appropriate precautions will be taken for male and female patients of child bearing potential enrolled in the proposed Phase 1 clinical study (e.g., women must demonstrate a negative pregnancy test, patients must consent to adequate contraceptive precautions, etc.).
- the anemia generally developed following administration of the first dose (or priming dose in the priming/maintenance dose schedule studies), and was associated with changes indicative of the accelerated clearance of RBCs and responsive erythropoiesis, including reticulocytosis, and alterations in RBC morphologies such as anisocytosis, polychromasia, and spherocytosis.
- free plasma hemoglobin was not observed across all of the studies.
- the premature loss of aging RBCs is compensated by an ensuing reticulocytosis (which was observed across all studies), and over time, the initial anemia resolves as the aged RBCs are replaced with younger cells, and as a result, the age distribution of the RBC pool is shifted to younger cells.
- Hu5F9-G4 Despite the anemia related to administration of Hu5F9-G4, no evidence of toxicity was observed in clinical signs in any animal, and thus, Hu5F9-G4 was clinically well-tolerated, even at doses as high as 300 mg/kg. While administration of Hu5F9-G4 resulted in a transient anemia, no clinical signs of toxicity were noted, and Hu5F9-G4 was clinically well- tolerated by monkeys, even a doses as high as 300 mg/kg. The toxicology studies, however, did reveal that a small number of animals are particularly sensitive to the Hu5F9-G4- associated anemia.
- the anemia related to Hu5F9-G4 was partially or completely reversible across all of the monkey studies, and resolved for animals that were placed on dose holiday, including those animals where dosing had resumed.
- the HNSTD for the 8-week toxicology study was the priming/maintenance dose of 5/100 mg/kg (the highest dose tested). Based on toxicokinetics data, the 5 mg/kg priming dose used in the 8-week toxicology study is predicted to provide a safety margin (AUC-based) ranging from 28- to 194-fold above the proposed starting priming dose of 0.1 mg/kg in the planned clinical trial.
- the twice weekly maintenance dose of 100 mg/kg provides a predicted safety margin (based on AUC) ranging from 766-803- fold above the starting maintenance dose of 0.1 mg/kg planned for the proposed clinical study. 5]
- the nonclinical safety assessment program supports the administration of Hu5F9-G4 (e.g., as an IV infusion) for the proposed clinical trial.
