Description

一种眼用药物组合物及其用途Ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition and use thereof 技术领域Technical field
本发明属于生物技术-单克隆抗体领域,具体地,本发明涉及一种眼用药物组合物及其用途。The present invention is in the field of biotechnology-monoclonal antibodies, and in particular, the invention relates to an ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition and use thereof.
背景技术Background technique
血管新生或增生(angiogenesis)在生物学上是指体内已存在的血管(如毛细血管和微小动、静脉)通过出芽或分裂的方式而产生新的血管的过程。Angiogenesis or angiogenesis is the process by which blood vessels (such as capillaries and tiny movements, veins) that are already present in the body produce new blood vessels by budding or dividing.
血管新生在维持机体许多正常生理过程如组织胚胎发育、外伤伤口的癒合与修复等是有益的和必需的;但过度的血管新生或增生也会导致机体发生病变。如体内如肿瘤的增生扩散转移与复发、老年黄斑变性(又称年龄相关性黄斑变性,age-related macular degeneration,AMD)眼底病、糖尿病性黄斑水肿(diabetic macular edema,DME)、炎症反应及自身免疫疾病等都与血管新生或增生密切相关。Angiogenesis is beneficial and necessary to maintain many normal physiological processes in the body such as tissue embryo development, healing and repair of traumatic wounds; however, excessive angiogenesis or hyperplasia can also cause disease in the body. Such as the proliferation and recurrence of tumors such as tumors, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), fundus diseases, diabetic macular edema (DME), inflammatory response and self Immune diseases and the like are closely related to angiogenesis or hyperplasia.
体内血管能够增生与增长的关键是其内衬的血管内皮细胞具有不断分裂增生及定向迁移植入已有的血管管壁的能力。目前已知的最重要及最强烈的促血管内皮细胞分裂新生或血管增生的物质是血管内皮细胞生长因子(vascular endothelial growth factor,VEGF)。VEGF又称为血管渗透因子(vascular permeability factor,VRF),编码VEGF/VRF蛋白的cDNA已由两研究组于1989年同时在美国Science杂志上公开报道。The key to the proliferation and growth of blood vessels in the body is that the lining of the vascular endothelial cells has the ability to continuously divide and proliferate and orientate and implant into the existing vessel wall. The most important and strong substance known to promote vascular endothelial cell division or angiogenesis is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF, also known as vascular permeability factor (VRF), has been published by the two research groups in 1989 and in the journal Science in the United States.
VEGF通过特异性地与血管内皮细胞上的VEGF受体(VEGF-R1,VEGF-R2) 结合而发挥促血管内皮细胞生长迁移、血管新生及增加血管通透性的作用。VEGF及其受体介导的血管增生之重要性已在VEGF基因剔除小鼠的研究中被充分证实:因为只要当VEGF基因中的一份被敲除后,小鼠胚胎在仅发育至11至12天时就会因血管增生受阻及异常而死亡。VEGF by specifically interacting with VEGF receptors (VEGF-R1, VEGF-R2) on vascular endothelial cells In combination, it plays a role in promoting vascular endothelial cell growth and migration, angiogenesis, and increasing vascular permeability. The importance of VEGF and its receptor-mediated angiogenesis has been well documented in studies of VEGF knockout mice: because as soon as one of the VEGF genes is knocked out, mouse embryos only develop to 11 At 12 days, it will die due to obstruction and abnormality of vascular proliferation.
VEGF及其受体介导的促血管新生及促血管渗透在老年黄斑变性、糖尿病性黄斑水肿等致盲性眼底疾病的发生与病理进展中也起着关键的作用。老年黄斑变性大多发生于50多岁以上,患病率随年龄增长而增高,该病的临床症状表现为中心视力减退、病程进展迅速,是导致老年人失明的重要疾病。而糖尿病性黄斑水肿则是当今危害数以千万计的中年工薪阶层(working-class)视力的重大疾病。VEGF and its receptor-mediated angiogenesis and vascular invasion also play a key role in the occurrence and pathological progression of blinding fundus diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. Most of the age-related macular degeneration occurs in more than 50 years old, and the prevalence increases with age. The clinical symptoms of the disease are central vision loss and rapid progression of the disease, which is an important disease leading to blindness in the elderly. Diabetic macular edema is a major disease that currently jeopardizes tens of millions of middle-aged working-class vision.
老年黄斑变性及糖尿病性黄斑水肿的主要病理表现为黄斑及周边组织萎缩变性、视细胞破坏、玻璃膜疣形成,严重者发生渗出性黄斑变性,伴随视网膜下新生血管形成、出血以及渗出。以往对老年黄斑变性及糖尿病性黄斑水肿等致盲性眼底疾病常采用激光治疗和光动力治疗手段,虽可暂时缓解症状,但复发率高,且并不能阻止病程进展。The main pathological manifestations of age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema are atrophy and degeneration of macular and peripheral tissues, destruction of visual cells, formation of drusen, and exudative macular degeneration in severe cases, accompanied by subretinal neovascularization, hemorrhage, and exudation. In the past, laser treatment and photodynamic therapy were often used for blinding fundus diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. Although the symptoms can be temporarily relieved, the recurrence rate is high and does not prevent the progression of the disease.
2005年以来,临床上采用各种VEGF抑制剂来治疗渗出性黄斑变性及糖尿病性黄斑水肿,均取得比较理想的疗效,现已被美国国家眼科研究所(National Eye Institute,NEI)推荐为常规疗法。Since 2005, various VEGF inhibitors have been used clinically to treat exudative macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. They have achieved satisfactory results and have been recommended as routine by the National Eye Institute (NEI). therapy.
到目前为止,经美国FDA批准用于治疗血管新生相关眼底疾病的VEGF抑制剂上市药物主要包括以下三大类:So far, VEGF inhibitor-listed drugs approved by the US FDA for the treatment of angiogenesis-related fundus diseases mainly include the following three categories:
(一)哌加他尼钠注射液(Pegaptanib,商品名为Macugen),由美国Eyetech制药公司(Eyetech Pharmaceuticals,Inc.)和辉瑞公司(Pfizer Inc.)合作开发, 于2004年12月获美国FDA批准上市。哌加他尼钠为PEG修饰的单链RNA类似物,其独特的三维结构使其能特异结合VEGF并抑制VEGF的活性。(1) Pegaptanib injection (Pegaptanib, trade name Macugen), developed by Eyetech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Pfizer Inc. It was approved by the US FDA in December 2004. Pegaptanib sodium is a PEG-modified single-stranded RNA analog with a unique three-dimensional structure that allows it to specifically bind to VEGF and inhibit VEGF activity.
(二)拮抗VEGF的抗体或抗体衍生物。目前该类药物中获美国FDA批准上市的仅有Genentech公司开发的雷珠单抗(Ranibizumab,中文商品名:诺适得,英文商品名:Lucentis),用于治疗包括老年黄斑变性及糖尿病性黄斑水肿等致盲性眼底疾病。雷珠单抗与Genentech公司早先开发上市的适应症为治疗多种肿瘤的另一个抗体药物贝伐珠单抗(Bevacizumab,商品名Avastin)药物同源:两者都是由鼠源单抗A4.6.1衍生而来,其可变区同源性在99%以上。贝伐单抗是全长抗体,分子量约149kd,而雷珠单抗是Fab片段,分子量约48kd。与Avastin一样,雷珠单抗可与VEGF高亲和力结合,竞争性阻断VEGF信号通路,抑制新生血管形成及促进黄斑区渗液吸收。Genentech公司发起的临床研究表明患者接受雷珠单抗治疗2年后,95%的“湿性”AMD患眼的视力稳定或提高。凭此优异疗效,雷珠单抗于2006年6月获美国FDA批准上市。雷珠单抗其后在美国进一步获批用于治疗糖尿病性黄斑水肿、视网膜静脉阻塞继发黄斑水肿、病理性近视继发脉络膜新生血管等多个适应症,雷珠单抗目前已成为治疗AMD等与血管新生相关眼底疾病的主流药物。(2) An antibody or antibody derivative that antagonizes VEGF. Currently, the only drugs approved by the US FDA for this class of drugs are Ranibizumab (Chinese name: Novo, English trade name: Lucentis), which is used to treat age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macula. Blind fundus diseases such as edema. The indications for the initial development of ranibizumab and Genentech are another antibody for bevacizumab (Bevacizumab, trade name Avastin) for the treatment of multiple tumors: both are derived from murine monoclonal antibody A4. Derived from 6.1, its variable region homology is above 99%. Bevacizumab is a full-length antibody with a molecular weight of approximately 149 kd, while ranibizumab is a Fab fragment with a molecular weight of approximately 48 kd. Like Avastin, ranibizumab binds with high affinity to VEGF, competitively blocks VEGF signaling, inhibits neovascularization and promotes exudate absorption in the macular area. Clinical studies initiated by Genentech have shown that after 2 years of treatment with ranibizumab, 95% of the "wet" AMD eyes have stable or improved vision. Based on this excellent efficacy, Raychemizumab was approved by the US FDA in June 2006. Ramizumab was subsequently approved in the United States for the treatment of diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion secondary to macular edema, pathological myopia secondary to choroidal neovascularization, etc., and ranibizumab has now become a treatment for AMD. Mainstream drugs that are associated with angiogenesis and fundus diseases.
在中国,雷珠单抗于2011年获中国药监局批准上市用于治疗AMD。In China, Raychem monoclonal antibody was approved by the China Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of AMD in 2011.
(三)VEGF受体-Fc融合蛋白。该类药物由VEGF受体胞膜外区与人免疫球蛋-Fc段融合而成,其代表性药物为美国再生元(Regeneron)公司开发的阿柏西普(Aflibercept,商品名:Eylea)。阿柏西普由VEGF-R1受体胞膜外区第2结构域、VEGF-R2胞膜外区第3结构域、人免疫球蛋白IgG1的Fc段融合而成。VEGF-Trap与VEGF的亲和力高于其受体与配体的自然亲和力,可竞争性阻抑 人体内的VEGF-R与VEGF的结合。阿柏西普自2011年以来已先后获美国FDA批准用于治疗包括老年黄斑变性及糖尿病性黄斑水肿等致盲性眼底疾病,且目前在临床适应症的获批范围及全球多个市场销售领域都在赶超雷珠单抗。(iii) VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein. The drug is composed of a VEGF receptor extracellular domain and a human immunoglobulin-Fc segment. A representative drug is Aflibercept (trade name: Eylea) developed by Regeneron. Aboxicept is fused from the second domain of the extracellular domain of the VEGF-R1 receptor, the third domain of the extracellular domain of VEGF-R2, and the Fc segment of human immunoglobulin IgG1. The affinity of VEGF-Trap to VEGF is higher than the natural affinity of its receptor and ligand, and it can be competitively suppressed. Binding of VEGF-R to VEGF in humans. Absap has been approved by the US FDA for the treatment of blinding fundus diseases including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema since 2011, and is currently in the approved scope of clinical indications and sales in multiple markets worldwide. Are catching up with Raymondumab.
中国成都康宏药业集团股份有限公司开发的康柏西普(Conbercept)也是VEGF受体-Fc融合蛋白。康柏西普在药物结构上与阿柏西普非常相似,由VEGF-R1胞膜外第2结构域、VEGF-R2胞膜外第3和4结构域、人免疫球蛋白IgG1的Fc段融合而成。康柏西普于2013年获中国CFDA批准用于治疗老年眼底黄斑变性等疾病,目前也正在美国开展临床III期研究。Conbercept developed by Chengdu Kanghong Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. is also a VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein. Composcipal is very similar in structure to aboxicept, consisting of the VEGF-R1 extracellular domain 2 domain, the VEGF-R2 extracellular domain 3 and 4 domains, and the human immunoglobulin IgG1 Fc fragment fusion. Made. Compaqip was approved by the Chinese CFDA in 2013 for the treatment of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration in the elderly, and is currently undergoing clinical phase III studies in the United States.
综上所述,目前世界范围内正式获批用于治疗AMD/DME等眼底疾病的VEGF抑制剂类药物均属VEGF单抗的Fab片段或VEGF受体-抗体Fc融合蛋白。单抗-Fab片段如雷珠单抗因其分子量较小,眼底注射后具有易快速穿透到病灶而发挥药效的优点;但单抗-Fab片段在眼内半衰期仅为2-3天,短于完整的抗体,从而增加了给药次数和患者的经济负担。VEGF受体-Fc融合蛋白药物如阿柏西普及康柏西普因其与配体结合亲和力高于其天然受体(VEGFR-1,VEGFR-2);且眼底注射后,其在眼内半衰期为3-5天,稍长于雷珠单抗,故具有药效高、用药频率低等优点。但阿柏西普及康柏西普因其同时还可与VEGF-B、VEGF-C、PLGF(Placental growth factor)等其他生长因子结合,从而增加了与治疗目的(特异性阻断VEGF介导)不一致的药物不良反应发生的潜在风险。In summary, the VEGF inhibitor drugs currently approved worldwide for the treatment of fundus diseases such as AMD/DME are Fab fragments of VEGF monoclonal antibodies or VEGF receptor-antibody Fc fusion proteins. The monoclonal antibody-Fab fragment, such as ranibizumab, has the advantage of being relatively easy to penetrate quickly into the lesion after the injection of the fundus because of its small molecular weight; however, the half-life of the monoclonal antibody-Fab fragment in the eye is only 2-3 days. Shorter than intact antibodies, thereby increasing the number of doses and the economic burden on the patient. VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein drugs such as Abbasi popular Compaqip because its binding affinity to ligands is higher than its natural receptor (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2); and its intraocular half-life after fundus injection It is 3-5 days, slightly longer than Raymond monoclonal antibody, so it has the advantages of high efficacy and low frequency of drug use. However, Abbey's popularity of Composcipation is also associated with other growth factors such as VEGF-B, VEGF-C, and PLGF (Placental growth factor), thereby increasing the therapeutic purpose (specifically blocking VEGF-mediated). The potential risk of inconsistent adverse drug reactions.
与Fab片段或Fc融合蛋白相比,完整的、全长的抗体如Avastin兼具Fab段和Fc段双重优势,具有体内半衰期长、用药频率低等优势,临床上可望以更少的剂量或更低的注射频率用于治疗AMD/DME等血管新生性眼病。近年来临床前及临床研究结果数据均显示,全长抗体Avastin用于治疗AMD/DME的效果 其实并不亚于雷珠单抗或阿柏西普。但Avastin并未获FDA或其他国家的药监部门批准用于治疗恶性肿瘤之外的其他适应症如眼科适应症;Avastin在治疗AMD/DME的眼科使用属于“非标签使用”或“标签外使用”。用于治疗肿瘤适应症的药物和用于治疗AMD/DME等眼科适应症药物在药物配方、剂量、制造与检测放行标准及产品包装等都有很多不同之处。用于治疗AMD/DME等眼科适应症药物需眼底注射,药物除需严格保持无菌之外,其pH及渗透压应接近于泪液,且不溶性微粒物质要求控制在非常低的数量下;而用于治疗肿瘤的Avastin在其制造及包装上并没有考虑眼科用药的这些特点与要求。此外,临床上患者或医生为了降低眼底注射用药的成本费用,更是常将大包装规格的Avastin(每瓶规格为4ml,或20ml)分装成小份供患者分享使用,患者接受眼底注射分装的药物后常发生感染或炎症的安全风险。Compared with Fab fragments or Fc fusion proteins, intact, full-length antibodies such as Avastin have the dual advantages of Fab segment and Fc segment, and have the advantages of long half-life in vivo and low frequency of administration. It is expected to be clinically less dosed or Lower injection frequency is used to treat angiogenic eye diseases such as AMD/DME. In recent years, data from preclinical and clinical studies have shown that the full-length antibody Avastin is used to treat AMD/DME. In fact, it is not inferior to rapizumab or abashi. However, Avastin has not been approved by the FDA or other national drug regulatory authorities for the treatment of other indications other than malignant tumors such as ophthalmic indications; Avastin's ophthalmic use in the treatment of AMD/DME is “non-label use” or “out-of-label use” ". Drugs used to treat tumor indications and ophthalmic indications for the treatment of AMD/DME have many differences in drug formulation, dosage, manufacturing and testing release standards, and product packaging. For the treatment of ophthalmic indications such as AMD/DME, the fundus injection is required. In addition to strict maintenance of the sterility, the pH and osmotic pressure should be close to the tears, and the insoluble particulate matter should be controlled at a very low level. Avastin for the treatment of tumors does not consider these characteristics and requirements for ophthalmic use in its manufacture and packaging. In addition, in order to reduce the cost of fundus injection, clinical patients or doctors often divide the large-package Avastin (4ml, or 20ml per bottle) into small portions for patients to share, and patients receive fundus injection. The risk of infection or inflammation often occurs after the drug is loaded.
抗血管增生药物治疗AMD/DME的市场惠及千万个患者,且患者需常年或反复多次给药,现仅有的抗血管增生眼科药物雷珠单抗、阿柏西普及康柏西普还未满足市场需求;而另一方面,目前上市的这三个药物也不是对所有的AMD/DME患者都有疗效。因此,临床上及市场上也都仍然需要再研发出新的或更安全有效的抗血管增生眼科药物。The market for anti-angiogenic drugs for AMD/DME benefits millions of patients, and patients need to be administered all year round or repeatedly. The only anti-angiogenic ophthalmic drug, ranibizumab, and Abbasi popular Compaqip The market demand is not met; on the other hand, the three drugs currently on the market are not effective for all AMD/DME patients. Therefore, there is still a need to develop new or safer and effective anti-angiogenic ophthalmic drugs both clinically and in the market.

本文所采用的术语“单克隆抗体(单抗)”指从一纯系细胞得到的免疫球蛋 白,具有相同的结构和化学特性,对单一抗原决定簇有特异性。单克隆抗体与常规多克隆抗体制剂(通常是具有针对不同决定簇的不同抗体)不同,各单克隆抗体是针对抗原上的单个决定簇。除了它们的特异性外,单克隆抗体的好处还在于它们是通过杂交瘤或重组工程细胞培养获得,不会混杂有其它免疫球蛋白。修饰语“单克隆”表示了抗体的特性,是从均一的抗体群中获得的,这不应被解释成需要用任何特殊方法来生产抗体。The term "monoclonal antibody (mAb)" as used herein refers to an immunoglobulin obtained from a pure lineage cell. White, with the same structure and chemical properties, specific for a single antigenic determinant. Monoclonal antibodies differ from conventional polyclonal antibody preparations (typically having different antibodies directed against different determinants), each monoclonal antibody being directed against a single determinant on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies are also advantageous in that they are obtained by hybridoma or recombinant engineered cell culture without intermixing with other immunoglobulins. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates the identity of the antibody and is obtained from a homogeneous population of antibodies, which should not be construed as requiring any particular method for producing the antibody.
本文所采用的术语“人源化单克隆抗体”系将鼠源单克隆抗体的氨基酸序列除保留互补决定区(complementarity-determining regions,CDR)外,其它序列(包括可变区中的框架区序列)全部或大部分替换成人免疫球蛋白的氨基酸序列,以达到通过基因工程手段最大限度地降低鼠源性单克隆抗体的免疫原性。The term "humanized monoclonal antibody" as used herein refers to the sequence of the framework region in the variable region, except for the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of the amino acid sequence of the murine monoclonal antibody. The amino acid sequence of all or most of the adult immunoglobulin is replaced to minimize the immunogenicity of the murine monoclonal antibody by genetic engineering.
本文所用的术语“抗体”和“免疫球蛋白”是有相同结构特征的约150000道尔顿的异四聚糖蛋白,其由两个相同的轻链(L)和两个相同的重链(H)组成。每条轻链通过一个共价二硫键与重链相连,而不同免疫球蛋白同种型的重链间的二硫键数目不同。每条重链和轻链也有规则间隔的链内二硫键。每条重链的一端有可变区(VH)。其后是多个恒定区。每条轻链的一端有可变区(VL),另一端有恒定区;轻链的恒定区与重链的第一个恒定区相对,轻链的可变区与重链的可变区相对。特殊的氨基酸残基在轻链和重链的可变区之间形成界面。The terms "antibody" and "immunoglobulin" as used herein are isomeric polysaccharide proteins of the same structural feature of about 150,000 daltons consisting of two identical light chains (L) and two identical heavy chains ( H) Composition. Each light chain is linked to the heavy chain by a covalent disulfide bond, and the number of disulfide bonds between the heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes is different. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bonds. One end of each heavy chain has a variable region (VH). This is followed by a plurality of constant regions. Each light chain has a variable region (VL) at one end and a constant region at the other end; the constant region of the light chain is opposite the first constant region of the heavy chain, and the variable region of the light chain is opposite to the variable region of the heavy chain . Particular amino acid residues form an interface between the variable regions of the light and heavy chains.
本文所用的术语“可变”表示抗体中可变区的某些部分在序列上有所不同,它形成了各种特定抗体对其特定抗原的结合和特异性。然而,可变性并不均匀地分布在整个抗体可变区中。它集中于轻链和重链可变区中成为互补决定区(CDR)或超变区中的三个片段中。可变区中较保守的部分称为构架区(Framework regions,FR)。抗体重链和轻链的可变区中各自包含四个FR区,它们大致上呈β-折叠构型,由形成连接环的三个CDR相连,在某些情况下可形 成部分β折叠结构。每条链中的CDR通过FR区紧密地靠在一起并与另一链的CDR一起形成了抗体的抗原结合部位。抗体恒定区不直接参与抗体与抗原的结合,但是它们表现出不同的效应功能,例如参与抗体的依赖于抗体的细胞毒性(antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity,ADCC)或补体介导毒性(complement-dependent cytotoxicity,CDC)。The term "variable" as used herein means that certain portions of the variable regions of an antibody differ in sequence, which form the binding and specificity of various specific antibodies to their particular antigen. However, the variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable region of the antibody. It is concentrated in the light and heavy chain variable regions into three segments in the complementarity determining region (CDR) or hypervariable region. The more conservative part of the variable region is called the framework regions (FR). The variable regions of the antibody heavy and light chains each comprise four FR regions which are substantially in a β-sheet configuration and are joined by three CDRs forming a linker, in some cases formable Part of the β-fold structure. The CDRs in each chain are closely joined together by the FR region and together with the CDRs of the other chain form the antigen binding site of the antibody. Antibody constant regions are not directly involved in the binding of antibodies to antigens, but they exhibit different effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement-dependent cytotoxicity. , CDC).
