  1. CCR5 Monoclonal Antibody PRO 140 Inhibited HIV-1 Resistant to Maraviroc, a Small Molecule CCR5 Antagonist Andre J Marozsan Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

  2. PRO 140 Background • Humanized CCR5 monoclonal antibody • Broadly and potently inhibits CCR5-mediated HIV-1 entry in vitro • Distinct class of CCR5 inhibitor • Binds extracellular domains vs. transmembrane pocket • Inhibits HIV without blocking the natural activity of CCR5 in vitro • Inhibits HIV via competitive vs. allosteric mechanism • Synergistic with small-molecule CCR5 antagonists • Potential for improved tolerability without drug-drug or drug-food interactions • Potential for infrequent dosing

  3. PRO 140 Background (2) • Potent, rapid, prolonged, dose-dependent antiviral activity in HIV-infected individuals • 1.8 log10 mean reduction in HIV RNA following single 5 mg/kg IV dose • >1.0 log10 mean reduction in HIV RNA for 2-3 weeks post-treatment • Individual reductions up to 2.5 log10 • Generally well tolerated • Designated FDA Fast Track drug candidate

  4. History of Case C Primary Isolates Conner et al. 1997.J. Exp. Med. 185:621-628. • Subtype B isolate • Patient switched to X4 phenotype • Used as parental virus for AD101, vicriviroc and maraviroc escape studies

  5. Generation of Resistance: Methods Culture for generation of resistance: • Infect pooled donor PBMC with CC1.85 virus and culture in the presence and absence of maraviroc. • Begin escape cultures with drug concentration at the IC90. • Passage cultures each week and monitor p24 production. • Double inhibitor concentrations if p24 levels are stable in the culture. • Cultures are considered resistant when viral replication is stable at the highest concentration of drug for two weeks. • Collect viral supernatants after 48 hours of drug-free growth. Generation of HIV-1 envelope clones and testing: • Viral supernatants were analyzed at Monogram Biosciences (South San Francisco, CA) using TrofileTM and PhenosenseTM Entry assays, as well as sequencing of the viral swarm. • Clonal analysis is in progress.

  6. Generation of Maraviroc- Resistant Virus Escape culture Isolated at Week 31 Passage controls isolated at Weeks 27 and 36

  7. Tropism Analysis Passage Control Virus was R5-tropic at week 27

  9. PRO 140 Sensitivity PhenosenseTM Entry Assay Results CC1.85 CC1.85 Passage Control wk 27 CC1.85 MVC Escape

  10. Case C 1.85 Sequences V1/V2 - a two amino acid deletion at positions 188-189 was observed in the maraviroc escape virus and in the passage control virus. This deletion was observed in prior Case C escape cultures and was associated with increased CD4 dependence (Pugach et al. Virology. 321:8-22. 2004).

  11. Summary of Viral Characteristics

  12. Summary • A virus resistant to maraviroc was generated in PBMC culture over 31 weeks of passage. • The maraviroc escape virus remained R5; however, the passage control virus became R5X4. • The maraviroc escape virus displayed similar phenotype and sequence to one generated by Pfizer. • For Case C 1/85, maraviroc resistance did not confer cross-resistance to PRO 140.
