Description

This technology uses multi‑arm polymer conjugates of TLR7/8 agonists to activate local antitumor immunity while minimizing systemic toxicity. Delivered intratumorally, these conjugates stay in the tumor, enhance antigen presentation, and boost CD8⁺ T‑cell responses. The release of the TLR7/8 agonist from the polymer conjugate depends on the linkage‑containing spacer (Xₐ) connecting the polymer (POLY) to the drug. When combined with a long‑acting IL‑2Rβ‑biased agonist, they produce synergistic, systemic antitumor effects and strong abscopal responses.

More details

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of NKTR-255 following CD19-directed chimeric antigen (CAR)-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). NKTR-255 is an investigational IL-15 receptor agonist designed to boost the immune system's natural ability to fight cancer. T cells are infection fighting blood cells that can kill tumor cells. Chimeric antigen (CAR)-T cell product consists of genetically engineered T-cells, modified to recognize CD19, a protein on the surface of cancer cells. These CD19-specific T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill CD19-positive cancer cells. Giving NKTR-255 following the treatment with CD19 CAR-T cell therapy may work better in treating large B-cell lymphoma than either drug alone.

More details

In this four-part study, NKTR-214 was administered in combination with nivolumab and with/without other anticancer therapies. Part 1 considered escalating doublet (NKTR 214 + nivolumab) doses to determine the RP2D. Part 2 considered dose expansion cohorts for the doublet (NKTR 214 + nivolumab ± chemotherapy). Part 3 was schedule-finding for a triplet therapy (NKTR 214 + nivolumab + ipilimumab). Part 4 dose expansion for the triplet (NKTR 214 + nivolumab + ipilimumab) was planned to further assess the efficacy of the RP2D triplet combination at dosing schedules from Part 3.

Purpose

A Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion Study of NKTR-214 in Combination With Nivolumab and Other Anti-Cancer Therapies in Patients With Select Advanced Solid Tumors

Additional features

Other features of the technology

  • Biodegradable

Release properties

The release kinetics of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) are influenced by multiple factors, including the chemical stability of the linker (with ester < carbonate < carbamate < amide), local pH conditions, and the presence and activity of relevant enzymes (e.g., esterases and proteases). Additional determinants include PEG arm length and molecular architecture, as well as the degree of drug loading, defined by the number of conjugated arms.

Injectability

This technology is adminstered as intratumoral injection. Intratumoral administration is conducted using a fine-gauge needle (approximately 22–25 gauge), with needle insertion angle and depth selected based on tumor size, location, and imaging guidance, where applicable.

Safety

Rezpegaldesleukin (NKTR-358; REZPEG) is a polyethylene glycol–conjugated recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2). Phase 2 results show Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 66.0% of subjects receiving REZPEG compared with 48.7% of those receiving placebo, while treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 41.9% and 10.4% of subjects, respectively. Severe TEAEs were reported in 3.2% of subjects in the REZPEG group and 4.5% in the placebo group. The most frequently reported TRAE with REZPEG was injection-site reaction (ISR), occurring in 26.4% of subjects.

Stability

- In situ stability: The stability of the conjugate in circulation is influenced by linker chemistry. Stable linkers (e.g., amides, thioethers) are resistant to hydrolytic cleavage under physiological conditions, whereas releasable linkers undergo gradual cleavage in biological environments. PEG chains (e.g., PEG 20 kDa) enhance aqueous solubility and reduce the risk of drug precipitation. -Formulation stability: Long-term stability studies are typically conducted under controlled conditions (25 °C ± 2 °C / 60% RH ± 5% RH). but no results were disclosed.

Storage conditions and cold-chain related features

Regulatory T cell (Treg) impairment is implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases, but relatively little is known about the therapeutic potential of Treg restoration. Here we present clinical evidence for the Treg-selective interleukin-2 receptor agonist rezpegaldesleukin (REZPEG) in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1b trials in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) (NCT04081350) or chronic plaque psoriasis (PsO) (NCT04119557). Key inclusion criteria for AD included an Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score ≥ 16 and a validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) ≥ 3, and for PsO included a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of ≥ 12 and a static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) score of ≥ 3. REZPEG is safe and well-tolerated and demonstrates consistent pharmacokinetics in participants receiving subcutaneous doses of 10 to 12 µg/kg or 24 µg/kg once every 2 weeks for 12 weeks, meeting the primary and secondary objectives, respectively. AD patients receiving the higher dose demonstrate an 83% improvement in EASI score after 12 weeks of treatment. EASI improvement of ≥ 75% (EASI-75) and vIGA-AD responses are maintained for 36 weeks after treatment discontinuation in 71% and 80% of week 12 responders, respectively. These exploratory clinical improvements are accompanied by sustained increases in CD25bright Tregs. REZPEG thus represents a homeostatic approach to cutaneous disease therapy and holds clinical potential in providing long-term, treatment-free disease control.

Clin Cancer Res. 2016 Feb 1;22(3):680-90. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-15-1631. PMID: 26832745.</p>

Purpose: Aldesleukin, recombinant human IL2, is an effective immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma and renal cancer, with durable responses in approximately 10% of patients; however, severe side effects limit maximal dosing and thus the number of patients able to receive treatment and potential cure. NKTR-214 is a prodrug of conjugated IL2, retaining the same amino acid sequence as aldesleukin. The IL2 core is conjugated to 6 releasable polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains. In vivo, the PEG chains slowly release to generate active IL2 conjugates.

Experimental design: We evaluated the bioactivity and receptor binding of NKTR-214 and its active IL2 conjugates in vitro; the tumor immunology, tumor pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of NKTR-214 as a single agent and in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibody in murine tumor models. Tolerability was evaluated in non-human primates.

Results: In a murine melanoma tumor model, the ratio of tumor-killing CD8(+) T cells to Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells was greater than 400 for NKTR-214 compared with 18 for aldesleukin, supporting preferential activation of the IL2 receptor beta over IL2 receptor alpha, due to the location of PEG molecules. NKTR-214 provides a 500-fold greater exposure of the tumor to conjugated IL2 compared with aldesleukin. NKTR-214 showed efficacy as a single agent and provided durable immunity that was resistant to tumor rechallenge in combination with anti-CTLA-4 antibody. NKTR-214 was well tolerated in non-human primates.

Conclusions: These data support further evaluation of NKTR-214 in humans for a variety of tumor types, adding to the repertoire of potent and potentially curative cancer immunotherapies.
