Description:
ANTI-B7-H1 AND ANTI-CTLA-4 ANTIBODIES FOR TREATING NON- SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/992,658, filed May 13, 2014, U.S. Provisional Patent

Application Serial No. 62/105,992, filed January 21, 2015, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62/114,336, filed February 10, 2015. The entire contents of each of these applications are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND [0002] Cancer continues to be a major global health burden. Despite progress in the treatment of cancer, there continues to be an unmet medical need for more effective and less toxic therapies, especially for those patients with advanced disease or cancers that are resistant to existing therapeutics.

[0003] The role of the immune system, in particular T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, in tumor control is well recognized. There is mounting evidence that T cells control tumor growth and survival in cancer patients, both in early and late stages of the disease. However, tumor- specific T-cell responses are difficult to mount and sustain in cancer patients.

[0004] Two T cell pathways receiving significant attention to date signal through cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4, CD 152) and programmed death ligand 1

(PD-L1, also known as B7-H1 or CD274).

[0005] CTLA4 is expressed on activated T cells and serves as a co-inhibitor to keep

T cell responses in check following CD28-mediated T cell activation. CTLA4 is believed to regulate the amplitude of the early activation of naive and memory T cells following TCR engagement and to be part of a central inhibitory pathway that affects both antitumor immunity and autoimmunity. CTLA4 is expressed exclusively on T cells, and the expression of its ligands C D 8 0 ( B 7 . 1 ) and CD86 (B7.2), is largely restricted to antigen-presenting cells, T cells, and other immune mediating cells. Antagonistic anti-CTLA4 antibodies that block the CTLA4 signaling pathway have been reported to enhance T cell activation. One such antibody, ipilimumab, was approved by the FDA in

2011 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma. Another anti-CTLA4 antibody, tremelimumab, was tested in phase III trials for the treatment of advanced melanoma, but did not significantly increase the overall survival of patients compared to the standard of care (temozolomide or dacarbazine) at that time.

[0006] PD-L1 is also part of a complex system of receptors and ligands that are involved in controlling T-cell activation. In normal tissue, PD-L1 is expressed on T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow-derived mast cells, as well as various nonhematopoietic cells. Its normal function is to regulate the balance between T-cell activation and tolerance through interaction with its two receptors: programmed death 1 (also known as PD-1 or CD279) and CD80 (also known as B7-1 or B7.1). PD-L1 is also expressed by tumors and acts at multiple sites to help tumors evade detection and elimination by the host immune system. PD-L1 is expressed in a broad range of cancers with a high frequency. In some cancers, expression of PD-L1 has been associated with reduced survival and unfavorable prognosis. Antibodies that block the interaction between B7-H1 and its receptors are able to relieve PD-L1 - dependent immunosuppressive effects and enhance the cytotoxic activity of antitumor T cells in vitro. MEDI4736 is a human monoclonal antibody directed against human PD-L1 that is capable of blocking the binding of PD-L1 to both the PD-1 and CD80 receptors.

[0007] Despite the significant progress made over the past decade in developing strategies for combatting cancer and other diseases, patients with advanced, refractory and metastatic disease have limited clinical options. Chemotherapy, irradiation, and high dose chemotherapy have become dose limiting. There remains a substantial unmet need for new less-toxic methods and therapeutics that have better therapeutic efficacy, longer clinical benefit, and improved safety profiles, particularly for those patients with advanced disease or cancers that are resistant to existing therapeutics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0089] It is to be noted that the term "a" or "an" entity refers to one or more of that entity; for example, "an antibody" is understood to represent one or more antibodies. As such, the terms "a" (or "an"), "one or more," and "at least one" can be used interchangeably herein.

[0090] Provided herein are methods for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using MEDI4736 and tremelimumab. There are three main subtypes of NSCLC: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell (undifferentiated) carcinoma. Other subtypes include adenosquamous carcinoma and sarcomatoid carcinoma. NSCLC may comprise a mutation in KRAS or in the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor. Such mutations are known in the art and described, for example, by Riely et al., Proc Am Thorac Soc. 2009 Apr 15;6(2):201-5, which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0091] In addition, provided herein are methods for treating cancer or neoplastic growths using MEDI4736 and tremelimumamb. As used herein "cancer" refers to a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells. Examples of cancer include prostate cancer, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, NSCLC, head and neck cancer, melanoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and hepatic cancer.

[0092] The methods provided include administering an effective amount of

MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen- binding fragment thereof.

[00118] The methods provided herein can decrease, retard or stabilize tumor growth.

In some aspects the reduction or retardation can be statistically significant. A reduction in tumor growth can be measured by comparison to the growth of patient's tumor at baseline, against an expected tumor growth, against an expected tumor growth based on a large patient population, or against the tumor growth of a control population. In certain aspects, a tumor response is measured using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

[00122] A "complete response" (CR), a "partial response" (PR), and "stable disease"

(SD) can be determined as defined in Table 1 below.

[00123] In certain aspects, administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof can increase progression-free survival (PFS).

[00124] In certain aspects, administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof can increase overall survival (OS).

[00125] In some embodiments, the patient has previously received treatment with at least one chemotherapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the patient has previously received treatment with at least two chemotherapeutic agents. The chemotherapeutic agent can be, for example, and without limitation, Vemurafenib, Erlotinib, Afatinib,

Cetuximab, Carboplatin, Bevacizumab, Erlotinib, Gefitinib, and/or Pemetrexed.

[00126] In some embodiments, the NSCLC is refractory or resistant to at least one chemotherapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the tumor is refractory or resistant to at least two chemotherapeutic agents. The tumor can be refractory or resistant to one or more of, for example, and without limitation, Vemurafenib, Erlotinib, Afatinib,

[00127] In some embodiments, the patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) (Oken MM, et al. Am. J. Clin. Oncol. 5: 649-55 (1982)) performance status of 0 or 1 prior to the administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

[00128] According to the methods provided herein, administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof can result in desirable pharmacokinetic parameters as shown in some early data.

Total drug exposure can be estimated using the "area under the curve" (AUC). "AUC (tau)" refers to AUC from time 0 to time τ, the dosing interval, whereas "AUC (inf)" refers to the AUC until infinite time. The administration can produce AUC (tau) of about 600 to about 3,000 μg/mL*day of MEDI4736 or antigen-binding fragment thereof and about 250 to about 350 μg/mL*day of tremelimumab or antigen-binding fragment thereof. The administration can produce a maximum observed concentration (Cmax) of about 60 to about 300 μg/mL MEDI4736 or antigen-binding fragment thereof and of about 25 to about 35 μg/mL tremelimumab or antigen-binding fragment thereof. The administration can produce a C trough (minimum plasma drug concentration) of about 5 to about 40 μg/mL MEDI4736 or antigen-binding fragment thereof and about 4 to about 6 μg/mL tremelimumab or antigen-binding fragment thereof.

[00129] As provided herein, MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof can also decrease free (soluble) PD-Ll levels. Free (soluble) PD-Ll refers to PD-Ll that is not bound (e.g., by MEDI4736). In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 65%. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 80%. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 90%. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 95%. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 99%. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are not detectable following administration of MED 14736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

[00130] In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 65% after a single administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 80% after a single administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 90% after a single administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen- binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 95% after a single administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 99% after a single administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are not detectable following a single administration of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

[00131] In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 65% after administration of two doses of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 80% after administration of two doses of MED 14736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD- Ll levels are reduced by at least 90% after administration of two doses of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 95% after administration of two doses of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are reduced by at least 99% after administration of two doses of MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, PD-Ll levels are not detectable following administration of two doses of MED 14736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

[00132] Treatment of a patient with a solid tumor using both MEDI4736 or an antigen- binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen -binding fragment thereof (i.e., co-therapy) as provided herein can result in an synergistic effect. As used herein, the term "synergistic" refers to a combination of therapies (e.g. , a combination of MED 14736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof) which is more effective than the additive effects of the single therapies.

[00133] A synergistic effect of a combination of therapies (e.g. , a combination of a

MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof and tremelimumab or an antigen- binding fragment thereof) permits the use of lower dosages of one or more of the therapeutic agents and/or less frequent administration of said therapeutic agents to a patient with a solid tumor. The ability to utilize lower dosages of therapeutic agents and/or to administer said therapies less frequently reduces the toxicity associated with the administration of said therapies to a subject without reducing the efficacy of said therapies in the treatment of a solid tumor. In addition, a synergistic effect can result in improved efficacy of therapeutic agents in the management, treatment, or amelioration of an solid tumor. The synergistic effect of a combination of therapeutic agents can avoid or reduce adverse or unwanted side effects associated with the use of either single therapy.

[00134] In co-therapy, MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof can be optionally included in the same pharmaceutical composition as the tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, or may be included in a separate pharmaceutical composition. In this latter case, the pharmaceutical composition comprising MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof is suitable for administration prior to, simultaneously with, or following administration of the pharmaceutical composition comprising tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In certain instances, the MEDI4736 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof is administered at overlapping times as tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof in a separate composition.

[00135] Subjects suffering from lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer) may be tested for PD-Ll polynucleotide or polypeptide expression in the course of selecting a treatment method. Patients identified as having tumors that are negative for PD-Ll (e.g., as defined by Ct or IHC-M score) or by having reduced or undetectable levels of PD-Ll relative to a reference level are identified as responsive to treatment with a combination of an anti-PD-Ll antibody and tremelimumab. Such patients are administered an MEDI4736, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof in combination with tremelimumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1: Patients and Methods

These subjects can be enrolled after documented progression or intolerance to appropriate TKIs.

(b) DESIGN OF THE STUDY

[00144] The study is an open-label Phase lb study of the combination of MEDI4736 and tremelimumab (Figure 1). Key study criteria for cohorts is shown at Figure 11. The study will enroll approximately 36 subjects in the dose escalation phase and in the dose- expansion phase and a minimum of 20 subjects each in immunotherapy-naive and immunotherapy-pretreated cohorts. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or highest protocol-defined dose for each agent in the absence of exceeding the MTD determined for the immunotherapy-naive cohort during the dose-escalation phase will serve as the starting dose for the subjects enrolled in the immunotherapy-pretreated cohort as part of the dose-escalation phase. Does exploration for the immunotherapy-pretreated cohort will be conducted in parallel with the dose-expansion phase for the immunotherapy-naive cohort.

DOSE-ESCALATION PHASE

Immunotherapy-naive Cohort

[00145] In the dose-escalation phase of the study, MEDI4736 and tremelimumab will be administered initially in sequential cohorts of 3-6 subjects who are immunotherapy- naive with each subject receiving tremelimumab Q4W for 6 doses and every 12 weeks (Q12W) for 3 doses (i.e., tremelimumab Dose 7 given at 4 weeks from Dose 6 and Dose 8 given at 12 weeks from Dose 7) and MEDI4736 Q4W for 13 doses via IV infusion for a total of one year (Figure 2). Each cohort will enroll a minimum of 3 subjects, according to a standard 3+3 design and a modified zone-based design. Subjects in the first cohort (Cohort 1) will receive a dose of 3 mg/kg MED4736 and 1 mg/kg of tremelimumab. If > 2 dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed in the first dose cohort, the starting dose will be de-escalated per Figure 1. If no more than 1 out of 6 subjects experiences a DLT in a given dose cohort, dose-escalation will continue. [00146] Subsequent cohorts will receive tremelimumab administered Q4W for 6 doses followed by Q12W for 3 doses and MEDI4736 administered Q4W for 13 doses until an MTD or the highest protocol-defined dose for each agent in the absence of exceeding the MTD is identified.

[00147] The expansion phase for the immunotherapy-naive cohort (see Figure 1) will begin once the MTD or highest protocol-defined dose for each agent in the absence of exceeding the MTD is determined in the immunotherapy-naive subjects during the dose- escalation phase. Additional dose(s) from the intermediate zone-based cohort(s) that do not exceed the MTD can be evaluated in the expansion phase based on evaluation of PK and pharmacodynamics, safety and efficacy parameters in the immunotherapy-naive cohort from the dose-expansion phase.

Immunotherapy-pretreated Cohort

[00148] The MTD or highest protocol-defined dose for each agent in the absence of exceeding the MTD determined for the immunotherapy-naive cohort (see Figure 1) during the dose escalation phase will serve as the starting dose for subjects enrolled in the immunotherapy-pretreated cohort as part of the dose-escalation phase. The dose exploration for the immunotherapy-pretreated cohort using 3+3 design will be conducted in parallel with the dose-expansion phase for the immunotherapy-naive cohort. The dose- expansion phase for the immunotherapy-pretreated cohort can begin once the MTD or highest protocol-defined dose for each agent in the absence of exceeding the MTD is determined in the immunotherapy-pretreated subjects during the dose-escalation phase. Additional dose(s) from the intermediate zone-based cohort(s) that do not exceed the MTD can be evaluated in the dose-expansion phase based on evaluation of PK and pharmacodynamics, safety and efficacy parameters in the immunotherapy-pretreated cohort from the dose-expansion phase.

DOSE-EXPANSION PHASE

[00149] Two dose-expansion cohorts will be used: immunotherapy-naive and immunotherapy-pretreated (see Figure 1). The MTD or highest protocol-defined dose for each agent in the absence of exceeding the MTD identified during the dose-escalation phase will be used for both cohorts in the dose-expansion phase. In addition, dose(s) from the intermediate zone-based cohort(s) that do not exceed the MTD can be included as an additional dose(s) for the immunotherapy-pretreated and immunotherapy-naive cohorts in the dose-expansion phase based on emerging subject data, including safety, PK, pharmacodynamics, biomarker, and response as well as data present from ongoing trials.

[00150] Initially approximately 20 subjects with NSCLC will be enrolled in each of the immunotherapy-naive cohort and the immunotherapy-pretreated cohort. Additional subjects, up to a total of 60 subjects each can be enrolled for the immunotherapy-naive cohort in the dose-expansion phase dependent on emerging subject data, including safety, PK, pharmacodynamics, biomarker, and response as well as data present from ongoing trials.

TREATMENT REGIMEN

[00151] Subjects will be treated in either the dose-escalation or the dose-expansion phase of the study. In the dose-escalation and dose-expansion phases of the study, tremelimumab will be administered every four weeks (Q4W) for 6 doses followed by every twelve weeks (Q12W) for 3 doses in which Dose 7 is given 4 weeks after Dose 6 and Dose 8 is given 12 weeks after Dose 7. MEDI4736 will be administered Q4W for 13 doses. Both agents will be administered via IV infusion for a total of one year (Figure 2).

[00152] Tremelimumab will be administered intravenously in 250 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride. MEDI4736 will be administered intravenously in 250 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride. Tremelimumab will be administered first. MEDI4736 infusion will start approximately 1 hour after the end of tremelimumab infusion. In Cohort 1, the first IV infusion of tremelimumab will be approximately 1 hour in duration and the first IV infusion of MEDI4736 will be approximately 4 hours in duration; subsequent infusions for subjects in this cohort and all infusions for the remaining cohorts will be approximately 1 hour in duration.

[00153] Subjects who achieve and maintain disease control (DC) (i.e., complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD)) through to the end of the 12- month MEDI4736 and tremelimumab treatment period will enter follow-up. Upon evidence of progressive disease (PD) during follow-up, subjects may be re-administered MEDI4736 and tremelimumab for up to another 12 months with the same treatment guidelines followed during the initial 12-month period if the subject has not received other treatments for their disease and still meet inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study protocol. Only one round of retreatment with MEDI4736 and tremelimumab will be allowed. [00154] The study utilizes a 3+3 dose-escalation phase and will follow the scheme depicted in Figure 3. A minimum of three subjects will be enrolled in each dose cohort. If 0 out of the 3 patients in a dose cohort have a dose limiting toxicity (DLT), the next dose-escalation cohort will be started. If 1 out of the 3 patients has a DLT, an additional 3 patients will be enrolled in the same cohort. If no more than 1 of 6 subjects experiences a DLT, the next dose-escalation cohort will be started. If 2 or more patients in a dose cohort experience a DLT during the evaluation period, then no further subjects will be enrolled in that dose cohort. [00155] The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the highest dose of tremelimumab or MEDI4736 within a cohort where no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences a DLT. This is determined for both the immunotherapy-naive and pretreated cohorts during the dose-escalation phase. Patients in the expansion phase (immunotherapy-naive and immunotherapy-pretreated cohorts) will be treated at the MTD level determined in the dose-escalation phase.

[00156] MEDI4736 and tremelimumab administration can be modified or discontinued as a result of toxicities as described in Figures 10A and 10B. Dose modifications will not be required for adverse events (AEs) that are clearly not attributed to MEDI4736 or tremelimumab (such as an accident) or for laboratory abnormalities that are not deemed to be clinically significant.

Validated electrochemiluminescence assays using a Meso Scale Discovery platform will be used for the determination of anti-MEDI4736 antibodies in human serum and for determination of anti-tremelimumab antibodies in human serum.

[00161] Blood samples will be collected for analysis of circulating soluble factors including soluble PD-Ll (sPD-Ll). During the dose-escalation phase, levels of sPD-Ll will be assessed on day 1, day 8 (+ 1 day), day 15 (+ 1 day), day 29 (+ 3 days), day 57 (+ 3 days), day 85 (+ 3 days), day 113 (+ 3 days), day 141 (+ 3 days), day 169 (+ 3 days); day 197 (+ 3 days), day 225 (± 3 days), day 253 (+ 3 days), day 281 (+ 3 days), day 309 (+ 3 days), day 337 (+ 3 days), at the end of treatment, 60 days after end of treatment, and 90 days after end of treatment. During the dose-expansion phase, levels of sPD-Ll will be assessed on day 1, day 29 (+ 3 days), day 57 (+ 3 days), day 85 (+ 3 days), day 113 (+ 3 days), day 141 (+ 3 days), day 169 (+ 3 days); day 197 (+ 3 days), day 225 (± 3 days), day 253 (+ 3 days), day 281 (+ 3 days), day 309 (± 3 days), day 337 (+ 3 days), at the end of treatment, 60 days after end of treatment, and 90 days after end of treatment.

[00162] Tumor assessments will be performed during screening (day -28 to day -1), at week 8 (day 50 + 3 days), and at week 33 (day 225 + 3 days) in the dose-escalation phase. Tumor assessments will be based on RECIST guidelines vl.l with modifications and include the following evaluations: physical examination (with photograph and measurement of skin lesions as applicable), CT, or MRI scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, and CT or MRI scan of the brain. Computed tomography or MRI scan of the brain is performed only at screening. [00163] Assessments of anti-tumor activity are based on the measurement of tumor lesions, the evaluation of target lesions, the evaluation of non-target lesions, and the appearance of new lesions.

Target Lesion Evaluation

[00164] For the evaluation of target lesions, complete response is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non- target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm (the sum may not be "0" if there are target nodes).

[00165] For the evaluation of target lesions, partial response is defined as at least a

30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

[00166] For the evaluation of target lesions, progressive disease is defined as at least a

20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.

[00167] For the evaluation of target lesions, stable disease (SD) is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters while on study.

Non-target Lesion Evaluation

[00168] For the evaluation of non-target lesions, complete response (CR) is defined as the disappearance of all non-target lesions. All lymph nodes must be < 10 mm in short axis.

[00169] For the evaluation of non-target lesions, non-compete response/non- progressive disease is defined as the persistence of one more non-target lesions and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits.

[00170] For the evaluation of non-target lesions, progressive disease is defined as the overall level of substantial worsening in non-target disease such that, even in presence of SD or PR in target disease, the overall tumor burden has increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy. In the absence of measurable disease, change in non- measurable disease comparable in magnitude to the increase that would be required to declare PD for measurable disease.

New Lesion [00171] The appearance of new lesions is considered PD according to RECIST guidelines vl.l. Considering the unique response kinetics that have been observed with immunotherapy, new lesions may not represent true disease progression. In the absence of rapid clinical deterioration, subjects may continue to receive treatment with MEDI4736 and tremelimumab.

Overall Response

[00172] Confirmation of CR, PR, as well as PD is required by a repeat, consecutive assessment no less than 4 weeks from the date of first documentation. The evaluation of overall response based on target lesion, non-target lesion, and new lesion evaluation is determined as in Table 1 below.

Table 1 : Evaluation of Overall Response

Any Any Yes Progressive Disease

No target lesion a Unequivocal Yes or No Progressive Disease progressive disease

No target lesion a Any Yes Progressive Disease aDefined as no target lesions at baseline.

bNot evaluable is defined as either when no or only a subset of lesion measurements are made at an assessment.

[00173] Adverse events are monitored following administration of MEDI4736. Other assessments include physical examination, vital sign monitoring, and laboratory measurements.

EXAMPLE 2: Results

(a) ENROLLMENT AND FOLLOW-UP

[00174] Twelve subjects were treated with 3 subjects each in Cohort la (1 mg/kg tremelimumab and 3 mg/kg MEDI4736), Cohort 2a (1 mg/kg tremelimumab and 10 mg/kg MEDI4736), Cohort 3a (1 mg/kg tremelimumab and 15 mg/kg MEDI4736), and Cohort 3b (3 mg/kg tremelimumab and 10 mg/kg MEDI4736). Two subjects in Cohort la (one subject withdrew consent after 2 doses of both agents) completed approximately 115 days of follow-up; Cohort 2a subjects completed approximately 56 days of follow- up; and subjects in Cohorts 3a and 3b completed 28 days of follow up (Figure 12).

(b) PHARMACOKINETICS

[00175] The pharmacokinetic data resulting from administration of MEDI4736 at 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg (in combination with 1 mg/kg tremelimumab) is summarized in Figure 4. Individual PK parameters resulting from the administration of MEDI4736 are shown in Figure 8. In this early data from first dose, the average Cmax for subjects receiving 3 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 67.36 μg/ml. The average AUCx for subjects receiving 3 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 625.3 μg/ml*day. The average Chough for subjects receiving 3 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 8.85 μg/ml. The average Cmax for subjects receiving 10 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 266.7 μg/ml. The average AUCx for subjects receiving 10 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 2860 μg/ml*day. The average Chough for subjects receiving 10 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 35.65 μg/ml. MEDI4736 exhibited a more than dose-proportional increase in AUC indicating non-linear PK. See Figure 4.

[00176] The pharmacokinetic data resulting from administration of tremelimumab at 1 mg/kg (in combination with either 3 mg/kg MED 14736 or 10 mg/kg MEDI4736) is summarized in Figure 5. Individual PK parameters resulting from the administration of tremelimumab are shown in Figure 9.

[00177] The average Cmax for subjects receiving 1 mg/kg tremelimumab in combination with 3 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 27.07 μg/ml. The average Cmax for subjects receiving 1 mg/kg tremelimumab in combination with 10 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 30.40 μ^πύ.

[00178] The average AUCx for subjects receiving 1 mg/kg tremelimumab in combination with 3 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 262.2 μg/ml*day. The average AUCx for subjects receiving 1 mg/kg tremelimumab in combination with 10 mg/kg MED 14736 was 338.8 μg/ml*day.

[00179] The average Chough for subjects receiving 1 mg/kg tremelimumab in combination with 3 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 4.21 μg/ml. The average Chough for subjects receiving 1 mg/kg tremelimumab in combination with 10 mg/kg MEDI4736 was 5.33 μ^πύ.

(c) SOLUBLE PD-L1 ASSESSMENT

[00180] The sPD-Ll data resulting from administration of MEDI4736 at 3 and 10 mg/kg and tremelimumab at 1 mg/kg is shown in Figures 6 (absolute concentration), 7 and 8 (suppression, % of baseline). Following MED 14736 administration, complete sPD-Ll suppression was observed in 5 of 6 subjects. In one subject, sPD-Ll suppression of approximately 65% was observed by the second dose of MEDI4736.

(d) SAFETY

[00181] Ten of twelve subjects reported a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE).

The most frequently reported TEAEs were fatigue (41.7%; 5 subjects), increased amylase (25.0%; 3 subjects), pruritus and upper respiratory tract infection (16.7%; 2 subjects each). No subject experienced a dose-limiting toxicity. Nine of ten subjects who experienced TEAEs had events that were Grade 1 or 2 in severity. One subject (Cohort 2a) experienced Grade 3 increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and a fatal (Grade 5) myasthenia gravis. Two of the twelve subjects experienced treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs). Two subjects discontinued treatment due to TEAEs. Figure 13 shows related adverse events.

[00182] Early results showing change of tumor size from baseline are shown in Figure

14. Reductions in tumor size were seen in patients in the 1 mg/kg (T) + 10 mg/kg (M), 1 mg/kg (T) + 15 mg/kg (M) and 3 mg/kg (T) + 10 mg/kg (M) groups.

[00183] This study demonstrates that MEDI4736 and tremelimumab have favorable pharmacokinetic properties and the combination of agents suppresses sPD-Ll. In addition, MEDI4736 is well tolerated in most of the subjects currently being treated.

EXAMPLE 3: Phase lb, open-label study of MEDI4736 in combination with Tremelimumab in patients with advanced NSCLC

[00184] The inhibitory PD-Ll and CTLA-4 pathways play a major role in controlling

T cell activation. MEDI4736 (M) is a human IgGl monoclonal antibody that blocks PD-Ll binding to PD-1 and CD-80. Tremelimumab (T) is a human IgG2 monoclonal antibody targeting CTLA-4. Both MEDI4736 and Tremelimumab have demonstrated encouraging safety profiles and promising clinical activity as single agents; as they block distinct interactions contributing to immunosuppression, combination MEDI4736 + Tremelimumab therapy may provide greater antitumor activity compared with either agent alone in patients (pts) with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

[00185] This Phase 1 study is assessing the safety/tolerability, antitumor activity, pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of MEDI4736 + Tremelimumab combination therapy in patients with advanced NSCLC. The study has dose- escalation and -expansion phases.

[00186] Results: As of December 4, 2014, 61 patients have been treated (Table 2).

[00187] Overall, the most frequent drug-related AEs for all grades (>10% pts) were diarrhea, fatigue, pruritis, increased alanine transaminase (ALT) and amylase; that were manageable with standard treatment guidelines including steroids. The most frequent

>Grade 3 drug-related AEs (>5%) across all patients were colitis, diarrhea, increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and ALT. Drug-related AEs leading to discontinuation were colitis (6.6%), diarrhea (3.3%), pneumonitis (3.3%), increased AST (3.3%) and

ALT (1.6%), cough (1.6%) and dyspnea (1.6%); there was 1 treatment-related death (polymyositis) in the 10 mg/kg M q4w + 1 mg/kg T cohort. Of 31 subjects with at least one 8 week scan, the best overall response was reported in 8 patients (26%); stable disease was reported in 11 pts (36%).

[00188] These promising results indicate that the MEDI4736 + Tremelimumab combination has a manageable safety profile and early clinical activity.

[00189] Results: As of January 27, 2015, 74 patients across 10 cohorts have been treated (Table 3).

[00190] Various doses and schedules of MEDI4736 and tremehmumab administered in combination were examined (Figure 15). MEDI4736 doses and scheduling included 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, and 20 mg/kg every 4 weeks (q4w) and 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (q2w). Tremelimumab doses and scheduling included 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg every 4 weeks (q4w x 6 doses) and every 12 weeks (ql2w x 3 doses).

[00191] Complete sPD-Ll suppression at doses > 15 mg/kg Q4W MEDI4736 was observed (Figure 16). One subject each at 10 mg/kg Q4W and 15 mg/kg Q4W showed partial sPD-Ll suppression at some visits followed by complete suppression after repeated dosing. One subject following 15 mg/kg Q4W was not suppressed at Day 29. By comparison, complete suppression was observed with single-agent MEDI4736 (Study 1108) at doses > 3 mg/kg Q2W. When individual sPD-Ll profiles by cohort were examined, complete sPD-Ll suppression was observed in >95 of subjects following 10 mg/kg Q2W dose (Figure 17).

[00192] Increased proliferation of T cells was also observed when MEDI4736 and tremelimumab were administered in combination (Figure 18). Cells were sorted by FACS analysis for the markers CD4 and CD8 in combination with Ki67, a marker of cell proliferation. A monotonic increase in peak CD4+Ki67+ cells was observed with increasing tremelimumab dose, which was greater than the increase in peak CD4+Ki67+ observed with MEDI4736 alone. The CD8+ proliferative response was greater with combinations of MEDI4736 and tremelimumab than with MEDI4736 alone.

[00193] Increases in CD4 ICOS+ and CD4 HLADR+ cells was observed in subjects receiving MED 14736 and tremelimumab compared to MED 14736 alone (Figue 19). Minimal changes in CD4+ICOS+ cells and CD4+HLADR+ cells was observed with MEDI4736 alone and all tested combination doses had a pattern distinguishable from MED 14736. Maximal increases in CD4+ICOS+ cells and CD4+HLADR+ cells were observed with a lOmg/kg tremelimumab dose. Increase in CD4+ T effector cells and Treg cells (CD25hi CD1271o phenotype may also include some activated T cells) were also observed in subjects receiving MEDI4736 and tremelimumab compared to MEDI4736 alone (Figues 20 and 21).

[00194] Clinical activity in NSCLC was observed with treatment with MEDI4736 and tremelimumab (all doses) showed increases in overall response rate, compared to treatment with MEDI4736 monotherapy (10 mg/kg Q2W (Figure 22). Response was evaluable in treated patients with measurable disease at baseline + >1 follow-up scan (includes discontinuations due to disease progression or death prior to first follow-up scan). For MEDI4736 NSCLC (CP1108), only patients with > 12 weeks follow-up were included. Overall response rate (ORR) includes confirmed and unconfirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). For MEDI4736 NSCLC monotherapy (CP1108, 10 mg/kg Q2W), best overall response (BOR) of stable disease (SD) with minimum duration of 12 weeks is presented. For the combination of MEDI4736 and tremelimumab, BOR of SD with minimum duration of 7 weeks is presented.

[00195] Decreases in or stabilization of tumor size was seen in the majority of NSCLC patients administered MED 14736 and tremelimumab at tremelimumab doses of 1 mg/kg; 3 mg/kg; and 10 mg/kg (Figure 23). The onset of grade 3 adverse events showed that increasing the dosage of tremelimumab also decreased the time of onset of an adverse event (Figure 24). Decreases in or stabilization of tumor size was seen in the majority of NSCLC patients administered MED 14736 and tremelimumab at MED 14736 doses of 10 mg/kg; 315 mg/kg; and 20 mg/kg at Q4W or 10 mg/kg at Q2W (Figure 25). The onset of grade 3 adverse events showed that increasing the dosage of tremelimumab affected the time of onset of an adverse event than increasing the dosage of MED 14736 (Figure 26). Thus, selection of MEDI4736 and tremelimumab dosages will take into account efficacy and safety.

[00196] Exposure data from single-agent tremelimumab in cancer therapy has supported that higher exposures (>30 mg/niL) are needed to maximize efficacy. These levels are attained, on average, at doses > 3 mg/kg. The exposure achieved following tremelimumab at 1 mg/kg is expected to produce less toxicity than 3 mg/kg based on an analysis of single- agent exposure-safety relationships. Without being bound to a particular theory, tremelimumab at 1 mg/kg partially inhibits CTLA4, as immune-mediated adverse effects are still observed at 1 mg/kg (albeit at lower incidence). Tremelimumab at 1 mg/kg could be optimal in combination with MED 14736 if synergistic efficacy is observed and the safety profile is improved relative to higher tremelimumab doses.

[00197] In one study, complete suppression of the PD-L1 sink and sPD-Ll in serum was observed at doses > 3 mg/kg Q2W MEDI4736. A dose of 10 mg/kg Q2W was chosen for use as a single agent based on achieving >99 saturation of the sink in the majority of subjects, with drug levels producing maximum tumor growth inhibition (TGI) in mouse models (100 mg/niL identified as the minimum target trough concentration). Following 10 mg/kg Q4W in combination with tremelimumab, suppression of sPD-Ll was observed in some subjects. Dose density was higher with MEDI4736 Q2W and Cmax was higher with Q4W. Scheduling with Q4W may provide greater convenience. In other subjects, incomplete suppression was observed, possibly due to upregulation of PD-Ll combined with suboptimal trough levels achieved at this dose level. MEDI4736 at 10 mg/kg Q4W, evaluated in combination with tremelimumab, produced trough concentrations below the target of 100 mg/niL. However, target levels were achieved with MED 14736 at 15 and 20 mg/kg Q4W, and the higher doses of MEDI4736 maintained sPD-Ll suppression in all subjects evaluated to date. MEDI4736 at 10 mg/kg or higher could be optimal in combination with tremelimumab if synergistic efficacy is observed and the safety profile is improved.

[00198] Overall, the trend for the combination of MEDI4736 and tremelimumab was to decrease or stabilize disease compared to MEDI4736 monotherapy, and MEDI4736 and tremelimumab at the highest doses tested was associated with increased incidence of adverse events. (Figures 27-29). These results indicate that the a combination of MEDI4736 and tremelimumab is well-tolerated and has the potential to be an effective therapy for NSCLC.

EXAMPLE 4: Treatment of PD-Ll negative tumors in NSCLC with MED14736 and

Tremelimumab.

[00199] Twelve subjects were treated, with 3 subjects each in Cohort la (1 mg/kg tremelimumab and 3 mg/kg MEDI4736), Cohort 2a (1 mg/kg tremelimumab and 10 mg/kg MEDI4736), Cohort 3a (1 mg/kg tremelimumab and 15 mg/kg MEDI4736), and Cohort 3b (3 mg/kg tremelimumab and 10 mg/kg MEDI4736). Two subjects in Cohort la (one subject withdrew consent after 2 doses of both agents) completed approximately 115 days of follow- up; Cohort 2a subjects completed approximately 56 days of follow-up; and subjects in Cohorts 3a and 3b completed 28 days of follow up. 00] Baseline levels of PD-Ll tumor expression data for 7 subjects on the study are provided at Table 4 (below). Additional information is provided at Table 5.

Table 5

[00201] Subject tissue of NSCLC patients was characterized for PD-Ll expression by immunohistochemistry in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissue samples. A sample was determined to be "PD-Ll positive" if the sample contained 25% or more tumor cells with PD-Ll membrane staining. This is expressed as immunohistochemistry membrane (M)- score. All samples were scored as "negative" for PD-Ll expression. Tumor assessments are available on 6 of 7 patients. Three patients treated with a combination of tremelimumab and MEDI4736.

[00202] Two patients were identified as unconfirmed partial responders (PR), two had stable disease (SD), and two had progressive disease (PD). In all 6 patients, tumor samples were collected >6 months prior to analysis for PD-Ll expression, and 3 of 6 biopsy samples were collected more than 2 years prior to analysis. These data indicate that a combination of MEDI4736 and tremelimumab is active in PD-Ll negative NSCLC based on stored tissue samples.

[00203] When administered MEDI4736 and tremelimumab, most patients having PD-Ll negative NSCLC responded to combination therapy, and showed decreases in or stabilization of tumor size, compared to MEDI4736 monotherapy (CP1108, 10 mg/kg Q2W) (Figure 30). Patients having PD-Ll positive NSCLC also responded to the combination of MED 14736 and tremelimumab compared to MEDI4736 monotherapy, and showed decreases in or stabilization of tumor size (Figure 31). When the results of the patients having PD-Ll negative NSCLC were grouped by the dose of tremelimumab, 1 mg/kg tremelimumab or 3 mg/kg tremelimumab administered in combination with MEDI4736 at 10 mg/kg Q4W or 15 mg/kg Q4W were effective at controlling or reducing disease (Figure 32). When the results were grouped by the dose of MEDI4736, the results also showed that tremelimumab at 1 mg/kg to 3 mg/kg administered in combination with MED 14736 at 10 mg/kg Q4W to 15 mg/kg Q4W was effective at controlling or reducing disease (Figure 33). Analysis of all NSCLC patients receiving MEDI4736 and tremelimumab showed that PD-Ll- and PD-L1+ NSCLC patients responded to treatment (Figures 34A-34D and 35-37; Tables 6-9). Table 6
