Anti-CD73 antibody activates human B cells, enhances humoral responses and induces redistribution of B cells in patients with cancer
2022
Overview
BackgroundCD73 is widely expressed on immune cells playing a critical role in immunomodulatory functions including cell adhesion and migration, as a costimulatory molecule for T cells and in production of adenosine. The function of CD73 expressed on B cells has not been fully characterized. Mupadolimab is an anti-human CD73 antibody that activates B cells. We evaluated the characteristics of this antibody and its effects on immune cells in vitro and in vivo.MethodsMupadolimab binding to CD73, inhibition of CD73 enzymatic activity, and effects on lymphocyte activation were evaluated in vitro by measuring changes in immunophenotype by flow cytometry. Cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy was used to determine epitope binding. Effects on human B cells in vivo were evaluated in immunodeficient NSG-SGM3 mice immunized with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viral antigens. Safety and immune effects were evaluated in the completed dose escalation portion of a phase 1 trial conducted in patients with cancer.ResultsMupadolimab binds to a unique epitope on CD73POS B cells resulting in their activation and differentiation through B cell receptor signaling pathways. Mupadolimab induces expression of CD69, CD83, CD86 and MHC class II on B cells along with morphological transformation into plasmablasts and expression of CD27, CD38 and CD138. These effects are independent of adenosine. Mupadolimab binds to the N-terminal of CD73 in the closed position and competitively inhibits substrate binding. Mupadolimab enhanced antigen specific antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and influenza hemagglutinin in humanized mouse models. Mupadolimab was evaluated as a monotherapy in a phase 1 trial (NCT03454451) in 34 patients with advanced cancer and demonstrated binding to CD73POS circulating cells and transient reduction in the number of B cells, with return of CD73NEG B cells with memory phenotype. No dose-limiting toxicities or changes in serum immunoglobulins were seen.ConclusionsMupadolimab activates B cells and stimulates the production of antigen specific antibodies. The effects in patients with cancer suggest that activated, CD69POS B cells redistribute to lymphoid tissues. Minor tumor regression was observed in several patients. These results support further investigation of mupadolimab as an immunotherapy for cancer and its potential use as a vaccine adjuvant.Trial registration numberNCT03454451.
