- •Elevated levels of GM GM-CSF found in RA synovial fluid CSF fluid
- • GM-CSF treatment led to flares of RA in patients with F lt ey syndrome
- • Macrophage numbers in RA synovial tissue
- –increased numbers correlate with disease severity
- –decreased numbers numbersobserved after treatment of RA

Topics
- •Biology of GM GM-CSF
- •GM-CSF as a proinflammatory cytokine CSF
- •Indications for anti-GM-CSF therapy
- •Advantages vs Caveats
GM-CSF targeting caveats
GM-CSF-/- mouse phenotype
- •Steady state hematopoiesis – unimpaired
- • Accumulation of phospholipids and surfactant proteins in the lung: resembling pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (Stanley et al 1994; Dranoff et al 1994)
- • GM-CSF -/- mice are more susceptible to infections, when experimentally challenged with hig pg h doses of pathogens
Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP)
- •Clinical features: dyspnea, dry cough
- • In the largest cohort of PAP patients investigated (n=248) intercurrent illnesses, including infections, q( ) were infrequent (Inoue et al 2008)
- • Manifestation of clinical PAP seems to require long-term GM-CSF deficiency caused by high levels of GM-CSF autoantibodies; clinically manageable
Pulmonary function and infection risk should be monitored in clinical trials
GM-CSF targeting advantages CSF
- •"Upstream" mediator Upstream"
- dramatic therapeutic effect in disease models of RA and MS
- central player in inflammatory processes
- links o t TNFα, IL-1, IL-23 / b o ogy / Th17 biology
- • Unlikely a steady state hematopoietic growth factor
- no i t mpac on h t ii ematopoiesis expect d f ti ted for anti-GM-CSF mAb
- • Control of myeloid numbers and activation at sites of inflammation
- therapeutic effect expected at site of pathology (e.g. RA joints)

Anti-CD19 Antibodies Hold Promise for the Treatment of B-cell Malignancies
- Broader expression of CD19 in B-cell tumors compared to CD20
- Potential for use in patients with use rituximab resistance
- Encouraging clinical data with CD19 bispecific antibody in NHL and ALL validates CD19 as a new target
Success of B-cell depletion in lymphoma opens many possibilities for novel regimens cell novel
Antitumor Mechanisms are Mediated by Ig GFc Receptor Interactions
Two interactions are key for mAb activity:
- 1 mAb binding to the tumor -associated associated antigen
- Binding of Fc receptor (FcR) on effector cell (e. g. NK cell) to the Fc portion of the 2(g ) mAb
Immune effector-mediated mechanisms are important for mAb-mediated cytotoxicity:
Fc receptors on leucocytes (Fc R) mediate several effector functions (e.g. phagocytosis, ADCC) against Ab-bound targets

MOR208/XmAb5574 showed efficient B cell depletion in peripheral blood and lymph nodes, while not decreasing serum IgG levels
Lenalidomide Sig y nificantly Enhances ADCC Activity of MOR208/XmAb5574
- Lenalidomide is an immunomodulating agent, approved for relapsed myeloma
- Reported to enhance T cell and NK cell activity
- Active in relapsed/refractory CLL
Potential for novel combination regimens with MOR208/XmAb5574 in CLL therapy
Potential Benefits of Targ g etin g CD19
In CLL: CD19 antigen density per cell is significantly higher than CD20
(D'Arena G et al, Leuk Lymphoma 2001;42:649-654)
- Ability to target and deplete pre-B and immature B cells in the bone marrow, as well as peripheral mature B as -cells(Yazawa N, 2005)
- May translate into more durable peripheral B cell depletion
- B-cell depletion in lymph nodes demonstrated cell in lymph in vivo (Schroeder, 2003; Cioc, 2008, Cavallo, 2008)
- Loss of CD20 expression following Rituxan treatment is reported i t 50% ith i t f CD19 iti it in up to 50%, with persistence o f CD19 positi vity (Chu, 2002; Seliem, 2006)
- Anti-CD19 antibodies have efficacy against Rituxan-resistant cell lines in vitro(Gerber, 2009)
- CD19 antibodies in develo pment show preliminar y efficac y in p p yy rituximab refractory/resistant patients
MOR208/XmAb5574 is Competitive in the CD19 Antibody Space
- Expected half life favoring convenient dosing schedule
- i v. . administration
- Straightforward manufacturing
- Potential for g yp ood safet y profile
- Embraces a number of effector mechanisms
- Significantly increased ADCC compared to rituximab in vitro
- Enhanced FcRIIa affinity may enhance macrophage function, and result in improved tissue B-cell depletion
Fc domain modification of MOR208/XmAb5574 b bd f ff t h i embraces a broader range o f effector mechanisms
