DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0201] The present invention provides anti-coagulation Factor XI antibodies and antigen binding fragments that bind the apple 2 domain of coagulation Factor XI (FXI). These anti-FXI antibodies and antigen binding fragments are inhibitors of FXI activation by Factor XIIa and are useful for inhibiting blood coagulation and associated thrombosis without compromising hemostasis (i.e., for anti-thrombotic indications). For example, the anti-FXI antibodies and antigen binding fragments may be used for treatment and/or prevention of thromboembolic disorders or diseases, including but not limited to, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, pulmonary thromboembolism, venous thromboembolism (VTE), atrial fibrillation, disseminated intravascular coagulation, medical device-related thromboembolic disorders, severe systemic inflammatory response syndrome, metastatic cancer, and infectious disease. The antibodies and antigen binding fragments are particularly useful for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation (SPAF). The antibodies and antigen binding fragments may also be used to treat or prevent thrombosis associated with disease or injury to the veins in the legs; immobility for any reason; fracture; certain medications; obesity; inherited disorders or inherited predisposition; autoimmune disorders that predispose to dotting; medications, such as certain contraceptives, that increase the risk of clotting; and, smoking. Therefore, the anti-FXI antibodies and antigen binding fragments disclosed herein are useful in therapies for treating a thromboembolic disorder or disease in a patient or subject in need of such therapies.

[0202] FXI is a homodimeric serine protease having the domain structure shown in FIG. 1B and an integral component of the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. FXI zymogen can be cleaved by Factor XIIa to its activated form FXIa. FXIa then activates Factor IX and ultimately triggers thrombin generation and clot formation. The anti-FXI antibodies and antigen binding fragments disclosed herein inhibit the conversion of FXI to FXIa (See FIG. 1A).

[0203] Anti-FXI antibody molecules were obtained from a fully human synthetic IgG1/kappa library displayed at the surface of engineered yeast strains. The library was screened with FXI or FXIa to identify antibodies capable of binding to human FXI at subnanomolar affinity to human and non-human primate (NHP) FXI and having no binding to human and NHP plasma kallikrein (a protein displaying 56% amino acid identity to FXI), or to other human coagulation cascade proteins (FII//IIa, FVII/VIIa, FIX/IXa, FX/Xa, and FXII/XIIa). Two antibodies were identified that had these properties: αFXI-13654p and αFXI-13716p. These antibodies are fully human antibodies comprising a human kappa (κ) light chain and a human IgG1 (γ1) isotype heavy chain. The antibodies selectively bind to the FXI zymogen an epitope comprising SEQ ID NOs:37 and 38 located in the apple 2 domain of FXI. These antibodies also bind FXIa with comparable affinity to FXI zymogen.

[0235] In an embodiment of the invention, a fully human anti-FXI antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is the product of isolation from a transgenic animal, e.g., a mouse (e.g., a HUMAB mouse, see e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,545,806; 5,569,825; 5,625,126; 5,633,425; 5,661,016; 5,770,429; 5,789,650; 5,814,318; 5,874,299 and 5,877,397; and Harding, et al., (1995) Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 764:536 546; or a XENOMOUSE, see e.g., Green et al., 1999, J. Immunol. Methods 231:11-23), which has been genetically modified to have fully human immunoglobulin genes; or the product of isolation from a phage or virus which expresses the immunoglobulin chains of the anti-FXI fully human antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.

[0236] In some embodiments, different constant domains may be appended to V.sub.L and V.sub.H regions derived from the CDRs provided herein. For example, if a particular intended use of an antibody (or fragment) of the present invention were to call for altered effector functions, a heavy chain constant domain other than human IgG1 may be used, or a hybrid IgG1/IgG4 that has altered effector function may be utilized.

[0237] Although human IgG1 antibodies provide for long half-life and for effector functions, such as complement activation and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, such activities may not be desirable for all uses of the antibody. In such instances a human IgG4 constant domain, for example, may be used. The present invention includes anti-FXI antibodies which comprise an IgG4 constant domain and variants thereof wherein the constant domain comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, insertions, and combinations thereof.

[0238] In one embodiment, the IgG4 constant domain can differ from the native human IgG4 constant domain (Swiss-Prot Accession No. P01861.1) at a position corresponding to position 228 in the EU system and position 241 in the KABAT system, wherein the native serine at position 108 (Ser108) of the HC constant domain as shown in SEQ ID NO:14, for example, is replaced with proline (Pro), in order to prevent a potential inter-chain disulfide bond between the cysteine at position 106 (Cys106) and the cysteine at position 109 (Cys109), which correspond to positions Cys226 and Cys229 in the EU system and positions Cys239 and Cys242 in the KABAT system) that could interfere with proper intra-chain disulfide bond formation. See Angal et al. Mol. Imunol. 30:105 (1993); see also (Schuurman et. al., Mol. Immunol. 38: 1-8, (2001); SEQ ID NOs:14 and 41).

[0239] In other instances, a modified IgG1 constant domain which has been modified to reduce effector function may be used, for example, the IgG1 isotype may include substitutions of IgG2 residues at positions 233-236 and IgG4 residues at positions 327, 330 and 331 to greatly reduce ADCC and CDC (as disclosed in Armour et al., Eur J Immunol. 29(8):2613-24 (1999); Shields et al., J Biol Chem. 276(9):6591-604 (2001)). In particular embodiments, the constant domain comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, insertions, and combinations thereof.

[0240] In another embodiment, the IgG HC is modified genetically to lack N-glycosylation of the asparagine (Asn) residue at around position 297. The consensus sequence for N-glycosylation is Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr (wherein Xaa is any amino acid except Pro); in IgG1 the N-glycosylation consensus sequence is Asn-Ser-Thr. The modification may be achieved by replacing the codon for the Asn at position 297 in the nucleic acid molecule encoding the HC with a codon for another amino acid, for example Gln. Alternatively, the codon for Ser may be replaced with the codon for Pro or the codon for Thr may be replaced with any codon except the codon for Ser. Such modified IgG1 molecules have little or no detectable effector function. Alternatively, all three codons are modified.

[0241] In an embodiment of the invention, the anti-FXI antibodies comprising at least the six CDRs of antibody αFXI-13654p, αFXI-13716p, or αFXI-13716 or alternatively the six CDRs wherein one or more of the six CDRs has one, two, or three amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, or combinations thereof comprise a full tetrameric structure having two light chains and two heavy chains, including constant regions. The variable regions of each light/heavy chain pair form the antibody binding site. Thus, in general, an intact antibody has two binding sites. Except in bispecific antibodies, the two binding sites are, in general, the same.

FXIa enzymatic assays using FIX full-length or FIX-sequence specific peptide substrates performed in assays similar to those described in Example 6 showed that the αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa, αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa, and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa antibodies had no detectable inhibitory effect on FIX activation by FXIa. The results suggest that the anti-FXI antibodies functionally neutralize the downstream effects of FXI by preventing FXI activation by FXIIa and have no impact on FXIa catalytic activity.

[0264] Epitope mapping by hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) as described in Example 4 using αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa antibody showed that the anti-FXI antibodies comprising the aforementioned HC and LC CDRs bind to a particular epitope on the apple 2 domain comprising SEQ ID NO:38 and SEQ ID NO:39.

[0265] Thus, the antibodies and antigen binding fragments disclosed herein bind to the apple 2 domain of FXI and inhibit FXI activation by FXIIa but not FXIa catalytic activity; these antibodies may leave the hemostatic activation of FXI by thrombin intact, thus conferring minimal bleeding risk. These antibodies are also distinguishable from FXIa activity blockers for which target protein (FXIa) does not exist unless the coagulation cascade is turned on.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Administration

[0266] To prepare pharmaceutical or sterile compositions of the anti-FXI antibodies or antigen binding fragment thereof, the antibody or antigen binding fragments thereof is admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences and U.S. Pharmacopeia: National Formulary, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. (1984).

[0267] Formulations of therapeutic and diagnostic agents may be prepared by mixing with acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers in the form of, e.g., lyophilized powders, slurries, aqueous solutions or suspensions (see, e.g., Hardman, et al. (2001) Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, McGraw-Hill, New York, N.Y.; Gennaro (2000) Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins, New York, N.Y.; Avis, et al. (eds.) (1993) Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Parenteral Medications, Marcel Dekker, NY; Lieberman, et al. (eds.) (1990) Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Marcel Dekker, NY; Lieberman, et al. (eds.) (1990) Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Disperse Systems, Marcel Dekker, NY; Weiner and Kotkoskie (2000) Excipient Toxicity and Safety, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, N.Y.). In one embodiment, anti-FXI antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof of the present invention are diluted to an appropriate concentration in a sodium acetate solution pH 5-6, and NaCl or sucrose is added for tonicity. Additional agents, such as polysorbate 20 or polysorbate 80, may be added to enhance stability.

[0268] Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the antibody or antigen binding fragments compositions, administered alone or in combination with another agent, can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD.sub.50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED.sub.50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index (LD.sub.50/ED.sub.50). In particular aspects, antibodies exhibiting high therapeutic indices are desirable. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human. The dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED.sub.50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration.

[0269] In a further embodiment, a composition comprising an antibody or antigen binding fragments disclosed herein is administered to a subject in accordance with the Physicians' Desk Reference 2003 (Thomson Healthcare; 57th edition (Nov. 1, 2002)).

[0270] The mode of administration can vary. Suitable routes of administration is preferably parenteral or subcutaneous, Other routes of administration may include oral, transmucosal, intradermal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intranasal, inhalation, insufflation, or intra-arterial.

[0271] In particular embodiments, the anti-FXI antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof can be administered by an invasive route such as by injection (see above). In further embodiments of the invention, an anti-FXI antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, or pharmaceutical composition thereof, may be administered intravenously, subcutaneously, intraarterially, or by inhalation, aerosol delivery. Administration by non-invasive routes (e.g., orally; for example, in a pill, capsule or tablet) is also within the scope of the present invention.

[0272] Compositions can be administered with medical devices known in the art. For example, a pharmaceutical composition of the invention can be administered by injection with a hypodermic needle, including, e.g., a prefilled syringe or autoinjector.

[0273] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may also be administered with a needleless hypodermic injection device; such as the devices disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,620,135; 6,096,002; 5,399,163; 5,383,851; 5,312,335; 5,064,413; 4,941,880; 4,790,824 or 4,596,556.

[0274] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may also be administered by infusion. Examples of well-known implants and modules form administering pharmaceutical compositions include: U.S. Pat. No. 4,487,603, which discloses an implantable micro-infusion pump for dispensing medication at a controlled rate; U.S. Pat. No. 4,447,233, which discloses a medication infusion pump for delivering medication at a precise infusion rate; U.S. Pat. No. 4,447,224, which discloses a variable flow implantable infusion apparatus for continuous drug delivery; U.S. Pat. No. 4,439,196, which discloses an osmotic drug delivery system having multi-chamber compartments. Many other such implants, delivery systems, and modules are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0275] The administration regimen depends on several factors, including the serum or tissue turnover rate of the therapeutic antibody, the level of symptoms, the immunogenicity of the therapeutic antibody, and the accessibility of the target cells in the biological matrix. Preferably, the administration regimen delivers sufficient therapeutic antibody to effect improvement in the target disease state, while simultaneously minimizing undesired side effects. Accordingly, the amount of biologic delivered depends in part on the particular therapeutic antibody and the severity of the condition being treated. Guidance in selecting appropriate doses of therapeutic antibodies is available (see, e.g., Wawrzynczak (1996) Antibody Therapy, Bios Scientific Pub. Ltd, Oxfordshire, UK; Kresina (ed.) (1991) Monoclonal Antibodies, Cytokines and Arthritis, Marcel Dekker, New York, N.Y.; Bach (ed.) (1993) Monoclonal Antibodies and Peptide Therapy in Autoimmune Diseases, Marcel Dekker, New York, N.Y.; Baert, et al. (2003) New Engl. J. Med. 348:601-608; Milgrom et al. (1999) New Engl. J. Med. 341:1966-1973; Slamon et al. (2001) New Engl. J. Med 344:783-792; Beniaminovitz et al. (2000) New Engl. J. Med. 342:613-619; Ghosh et al. (2003) New Engl. J. Med. 348:24-32; Lipsky et al. (2000) New Engl. J. Med. 343:1594-1602).

[0276] Determination of the appropriate dose is made by the clinician, e.g., using parameters or factors known or suspected in the art to affect treatment. Generally, the dose begins with an amount somewhat less than the optimum dose and it is increased by small increments thereafter until the desired or optimum effect is achieved relative to any negative side effects. Important diagnostic measures include those of symptoms of, e.g., the inflammation or level of inflammatory cytokines produced. In general, it is desirable that antibody or antigen binding fragment that will be used is derived from the same species as the animal targeted for treatment, thereby minimizing any immune response to the reagent. In the case of human subjects, for example, chimeric, humanized, and fully human antibodies may be desirable.

[0277] Anti-FXI antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof disclosed herein may be provided by doses administered weekly. Doses may be provided subcutaneously. A total weekly dose is generally about 0.3 mg antibody or antigen binding fragment/kg of the subject to 3.0 mg/kg, more preferably about 1.0 to 2.0 mg/kg or between 1.0 mg/kg and 3.0 mg/kg (see, e.g., Yang, et al. (2003) New Engl. J. Med. 349:427-434; Herold, et al. (2002) New Engl. J. Med. 346:1692-1698; Liu, et al. (1999) J. Neurol. Neurosurg. Psych. 67:451-456; Portielji, et al. (20003) Cancer Immunol. Immunother. 52:133-144).

[0278] Further provided are kits comprising one or more components that include, but are not limited to, an anti-FXI antibody or antigen binding fragment, as discussed herein in association with one or more additional components including, but not limited to, a further therapeutic agent, as discussed herein. The antibody or fragment and/or the therapeutic agent can be formulated as a pure composition or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, in a pharmaceutical composition.

[0279] In one embodiment, the kit includes an anti-FXI antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof or a pharmaceutical composition thereof in one container (e.g., in a sterile glass or plastic vial) and a further therapeutic agent in another container (e.g., in a sterile glass or plastic vial).

[0280] In another embodiment, the kit comprises a combination of the invention, including an anti-FXI antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof or pharmaceutical composition thereof in combination with one or more therapeutic agents formulated together, optionally, in a pharmaceutical composition, in a single, common container.

[0281] If the kit includes a pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration to a subject, the kit can include a device for performing such administration. For example, the kit can include one or more hypodermic needles or other injection devices as discussed above. Thus, the present invention includes a kit comprising an injection device and the anti-FXI antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, e.g., wherein the injection device includes the antibody or fragment or wherein the antibody or fragment is in a separate vessel.

[0282] The kit can include a package insert including information concerning the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms in the kit. Generally, such information aids patients and physicians in using the enclosed pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms effectively and safely. For example, the following information regarding a combination of the invention may be supplied in the insert: pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical studies, efficacy parameters, indications and usage, contraindications, warnings, precautions, adverse reactions, overdosage, proper dosage and administration, how supplied, proper storage conditions, references, manufacturer/distributor information and patent information.

Methods of Making Antibodies and Antigen Binding Fragments Thereof

[0283] The anti-FXI antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof disclosed herein may also be produced recombinantly. In this embodiment, nucleic acids encoding the antibody and antigen binding fragments molecules may be inserted into a vector and expressed in a recombinant host cell. There are several methods by which to produce recombinant antibodies and antigen binding fragments which are known in the art.

[0284] Mammalian cell lines available as hosts for expression of the antibodies or antigen binding fragments disclosed herein are well known in the art and include many immortalized cell lines available from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). These include, inter alia, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, NSO, SP2 cells, HeLa cells, baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, monkey kidney cells (COS), human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (e.g., Hep G2), A549 cells, 3T3 cells, human embryo kidney 293 (HEK-293) cells and a number of other cell lines. Cell lines of particular preference are selected through determining which cell lines have high expression levels. Other cell lines that may be used are insect cell lines, such as Sf9 cells, amphibian cells, bacterial cells, plant cells, filamentous fungus cells (e.g. Trichoderma reesei), and yeast cells (e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Pichia pastoris).

[0285] When recombinant expression vectors comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding the heavy chain or antigen binding portion or fragment thereof, the light chain and/or antigen binding fragment thereof are introduced into host cells, the antibodies are produced by culturing the host cells under conditions and for a period of time sufficient to allow for expression of the antibody or antigen binding fragments in the host cells or, more preferably, secretion of the antibody into the culture medium in which the host cells are grown. The antibodies or antigen binding fragments may be recovered from the culture medium and further purified or processed to produce the antibodies of the invention.

[0286] In particular aspects the host cells are transfected with an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule in which the HC and LCs are expressed as a fusion protein in which the N-terminus of the HC and the LC are fused to a leader sequence to facilitate the transport of the antibody through the secretory pathway. Examples of leader sequences that may be used include MSVPTQVLGLLLLWLTDARC (SEQ ID NO:56), MEWSWVFLFFLSVTTGVHS (SEQ ID NO:57), or MELGLCWVFLVAILEGVQC (SEQ ID NO:58).

[0300] Antibodies or antigen binding fragments can be recovered from the culture medium using standard protein purification methods. Further, expression of antibodies of the invention (or other moieties therefrom) from production cell lines can be enhanced using a number of known techniques. For example, the glutamine synthetase gene expression system (the GS system) is a common approach for enhancing expression under certain conditions.

[0301] In general, glycoproteins produced in a particular cell line or transgenic animal will have a glycosylation pattern that is characteristic for glycoproteins produced in the cell line or transgenic animal (See for example, Croset et al., J. Biotechnol. 161: 336-348 (2012)). Therefore, the particular glycosylation pattern of an antibody or antigen binding fragments will depend on the particular cell line or transgenic animal used to produce the antibody or antigen binding fragments. However, all antibodies and antigen binding fragments encoded by the nucleic acid molecules provided herein, or comprising the amino acid sequences provided herein, comprise the instant invention, independent of the glycosylation pattern the antibodies or antigen binding fragments may have.

[0302] The following examples are intended to promote a further understanding of the present invention.

New York, N.Y., which describes cloning in bacterial cells and DNA mutagenesis (Vol. 1), cloning in mammalian cells and yeast (Vol. 2), glycoconjugates and protein expression (Vol. 3), and bioinformatics (Vol. 4).

[0304] Methods for protein purification including immunoprecipitation, chromatography, electrophoresis, centrifugation, and crystallization are described (Coligan, et al. (2000) Current Protocols in Protein Science, Vol. 1, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York). Chemical analysis, chemical modification, post-translational modification, production of fusion proteins, glycosylation of proteins are described (see, e.g., Coligan, et al.

[0312] Binding kinetics and affinity of the protein-protein interaction between αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P)(K−)/kappa, αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa, and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P)(K−)/kappa and human FXI zymogen were determined using the ProteOn XPR36 (Bio-Rad), an SPR-based (surface plasmon resonance) optical biosensor.

[0313] Briefly, a GLC low-density sensor chip is washed across all vertical and horizontal flow channels with 0.5% sodium dodecyl-sulfate, 50 mM sodium hydroxide, and 100 mM hydrochloric acid for 60 seconds at 30 μL/sec flow rate. The alginate chip surface for all six vertical flow channels (L1-L6) is subsequently activated with 1×EDC/sNHS at 30 μL/sec flow rate for 150 seconds. A murine Fc-directed anti-human IgG polyclonal antibody (capture antibody), diluted to 1.25 μg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0, is then injected across all six vertical flow channels for 300 seconds at a flow rate of 25 μL/second to bind approximately 300 response units (RU) of capture antibody to the activated chip surface per flow channel by amine-coupling to endogenous lysine. 1 M ethanolamine HCl is then injected across all six vertical flow channels to neutralize remaining reactive surface amines. The anti-FXI antibodies are then injected at 25 μL/minutes for 60 seconds, each into a distinct vertical flow channel coated with capture antibody (L2, L3, L4, L5, or L6), at a concentration of 5 μg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0, to achieve saturating capture levels of approximately 80 RU; vertical flow channel L1 is injected with 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0 (buffer alone), as a reference control. After capture of anti-FXI antibodies, running buffer (1×HBS-N, 5 mM CaCl.sub.2, 0.005% P20, pH 7.4) is injected across all horizontal flow channels (A1-A6) for 5 minutes and allowed to dissociate for 20 minutes at 25 μL/minutes to remove any non-specifically bound anti-FXI antibodies from the chip surface. To measure on-rate (k.sub.a) of human FXI to captured anti-FXI antibodies, a 6-point titration of human FXI zymogen (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 nM diluted in running buffer) is subsequently injected horizontally across all six vertical flow channels for 8 minutes; the bound zymogen is then allowed to dissociate for 60 minutes in running buffer at 25 μL/min to measure off-rate (k.sub.d). Binding kinetics and affinity (K.sub.D) may be determined using instrument-specific software (Bio-Rad).

[0314] Binding kinetics and affinity of the protein-protein interaction between anti-FXI human αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa, αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L (K−)/kappa, and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa antibodies and non-human primate (NHP) FXI zymogen (cynomolgus and rhesus) may be determined using the ProteOn XPR36 (Bio-Rad), an SPR-based (surface plasmon resonance) optical biosensor. A GLC low-density sensor chip is washed across all vertical and horizontal flow channels with 0.5% sodium dodecyl-sulfate, 50 mM sodium hydroxide, and 100 mM hydrochloric acid for 60 seconds at 30 μL/second flow rate. The alginate chip surface for all six vertical flow channels (L1-L6) is subsequently activated with 1×EDC/sNHS at 30 μL/second flow rate for 150 seconds. A murine Fc-directed anti-human IgG polyclonal antibody (capture antibody), diluted to 30 μg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate, pH 5.0, is then injected across all six vertical flow channels for 150 seconds at a flow rate of 25 μL/second to achieve saturation-binding of approximately 4500 response units (RU) of capture antibody to the activated chip surface per flow channel by amine-coupling to endogenous lysine. 1 M ethanolamine HCl is then injected across all six vertical flow channels to neutralize any remaining reactive surface amines. Anti-FXI antibodies are then injected at 25 μL/minutes for 60 seconds, each into a distinct vertical flow channel coated with capture antibody (L2, L3, L4, L5, or L6), at a concentration of 0.415 μg/mL in running buffer (1×HBS-N, 5 mM CaCl.sub.2, 0.005% P20, pH 7.4), to achieve capture levels of approximately 40 RU; vertical flow channel L1 is injected with running buffer alone as a reference control. After capture of anti-FXI antibodies, running buffer is injected across all horizontal flow channels (A1-A6) for 5 minutes and allowed to dissociate for 20 minutes at 25 μL/minute to remove non-specifically bound anti-FXI antibodies from the chip surface. To measure on-rate (k.sub.a) of NHP FXI to captured anti-FXI antibodies, a 6-point titration of NHP FXI zymogen (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 nM diluted in running buffer) is subsequently injected horizontally across all six vertical flow channels for 8 minutes; the bound zymogen is then allowed to dissociate for 60 minutes in running buffer at 25 μL/minutes to measure off-rate (k.sub.d). Binding kinetics and affinity (K.sub.D) were determined using instrument-specific software (Bio-Rad).

[0316] Effect of the Anti-FXI Antibodies on Autoactivation of FXI to FXIa on Dextran Sulfate.

[0317] Autoactivation of FXI to FXIa on Dextran Sulfate may be measured as follows. 10-point dose titrations of the αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa, αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa, and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa antibodies, starting at 1 μM concentration with a 3-fold dilution series, are pre-incubated with human FXI (Haematologic Technologies, Inc., Cat # HCXI-0150, final concentration 30 nM) in 50 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl.sub.2, 0.1% PEG-8000, pH 7.4 for 2 hours at 25° C. in Corning 3575 non-binding surface microplate. The auto-activation reaction is then initiated by addition of dextran sulfate (ACROS, Cat #433240250, approximate MW 800 kDa, final concentration 1 nM). The reaction is allow to proceed at 25° C. for 1 hour when newly activated FXIa enzymatic activity may be detected by the rate of cleavage of Z-GPR-AFC substrate (Sigma, Cat # C0980-10MG, final concentration 150 μM) by continuously monitoring the fluorescence at 400/505 nm for 10 min using a Tecan Infinite M200 plate reader. The % Inhibition for each data point may be recalculated from the RFU/minute data and analyzed using the log(inhibitor) vs. response four parameters equation with the GraphPad Prism software. The reported EC.sub.50 values may be given as mean±SD, n=2. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0318] Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) Assay of the Anti-FXI Antibodies.

[0319] The ability of αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa, αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa, and αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L (K−)/kappa antibodies to block in vitro coagulation was assessed using the activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) assay. The aPTT assay measures the activity of the intrinsic and common pathways of coagulation.

[0320] The test is performed in sodium citrated plasmas. Briefly, human and NHP (cynomolgus or rhesus monkey) plasma is made by collecting blood from healthy donors of both genders into Na citrate tubes (Sarstedt coagulation 9NC/10 mL). Blood is centrifuged at 1500×g and the plasma is collected. aPTT is checked on each individual donor and those within the normal range (28-40 seconds) are pooled, portions aliquoted and stored at −80 C. Plasma from other species is obtained commercially (Innovative Research). Test samples are prepared by spiking inhibitors or vehicle into plasma. These spiked samples are incubated (60 minutes, room temperature (RT)) then run on a coagulation analyzer (STA-R Evolution, Stago Diagnostica). In general, the analyzer performs the following steps: Factor XII is activated by addition of ellagic acid (Pacific Hemostasis), and then time to clot is measured after re-calcification of the sample. Inhibition of FXI will cause aPTT clot time to be prolonged. The data is expressed as percent increase over vehicle control clot time and the concentration that causes 50% (1.5×) percent increase of clot time are reported.

[0321] Following the above protocol, the concentration of the antibodies required to prolong clotting time by 50% (1.5× concentration) was comparable in 97% human, cynomolgus, and rhesus plasma (FIG. 3A-3B, FIG. 4A-4B, and FIG. 5A-5B). FIGS. 3A, 4A, and 5A express the data as % increase over baseline whereas FIGS. 3B, 4B, and 5B show the raw data (clotting time in seconds). The 1.5× concentrations of the antibodies were comparable (16.8-25 nM) across all human and NHP plasmas, and likely represented the antibody concentration required to titrate one half of the FXI zymogen present in plasma (30-40 nM zymogen). The maximal prolongation in clotting time for the antibodies was comparable between cynomolgus and rhesus plasma. The results are further tabulated in Table 3.

[0322] Epitope Mapping of Anti-FXI Antibodies by Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry.

[0323] Contact areas of αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa antibodies to human FXI were determined by use of hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) analysis. HDX-MS measures the incorporation of deuterium into the amide backbone of the protein and changes in this incorporation are influenced by the hydrogen's solvent exposure. A comparison of the deuterium exchange levels in antigen-alone samples and antibody-bound samples were done to identify antigen regions that may be in contact with the antibody. Human Factor XI has the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:37.

[0324] The human Factor XI regions protected from deuteration by the antibodies are Epitope-A YATRQFPSLEHRNICL (Residues 133-148 of Factor XI; SEQ ID NO:38) and Epitope-B HTQTGTPTRITKL (Residues 151-163 of Factor XI; SEQ ID NO:39). These peptides are located on the Apple 2 domain of Factor XI (FIG. 2). No significant deuteration changes were observed in the Apple 1, 3, 4 or catalytic domains, indicating they are not involved in αFXI-13716 binding. FIG. 6 shows a deuterium labeling difference heatmap of Factor XI residues 131 to 165 bound by the antibodies. αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa antibodies both protected the same regions.

[0325] Effect of the Anti-FXI Antibodies on Activation of FXI to FXIa by FXIIa in the Presence of HMW Kininogen and Ellagic Acid.

[0326] To measure the effects of anti-FXI antibodies on FXI zymogen activation, coupled enzymatic assays that measure FXIa-mediated proteolysis of a tri-peptide fluorophore (GPR-AFC) may be used to determine if the antibodies inhibit FXI activation per se. For these experiments, anti-FXI antibodies are pre-incubated with FXI zymogen for 1 hour. FXI activation to FXIa is induced by the addition of FXIIa in the presence of HMW Kininogen and ellagic acid. FXIa catalytic activity on the tripeptide fluorophore substrate is subsequently measured as a read for zymogen activation. The coupled assay is also run in the absence of HMW Kininogen as a control.

[0327] The assay may be performed as follows. 10-point dose titrations of anti-FXI antibodies, starting at 1 μM concentration with a 3-fold dilution series, are pre-incubated with human FXI (Haematologic Technologies, Inc., Cat # HCXI-0150, final concentration 30 nM) and HMW kininogen (Enzyme Research Laboratories, Cat # HK, final concentration 280 nM) in 50 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl.sub.2, 0.1% PEG-8000, pH 7.4 for 2 hours at 25° C. in Corning 3575 non-binding surface microplate.

[0328] The activation reaction is then initiated by addition of ellagic-acid-containing Pacific Hemostasis APTT-XL reagent (Thermo Scientific, Cat #100403, 100 μM stock concentration, final concentration 2 μM) and freshly diluted coagulation factor XIIa (Enzyme Research Laboratories, Cat # HFXIIa, final concentration 50 pM).

[0329] The reaction is allowed to proceed at 25° C. for 1 hour when it may then be quenched by addition of an inhibitor of FXIIa. Inhibitors of FXIIa include, for example, Corn Trypsin Inhibitor (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Cat# sc-204358), which may be used at a concentration of about 200 nM to inhibit FXIIa and inhibitors disclosed in Published application WO2013113774, for example, H-D-Pro-Phe-Arg-chloromethylketone (PCK), which irreversibly inhibits the amidolytic activity of activated FXII (FXIIa).

[0330] The newly activated FXIa enzymatic activity is then detected by measuring the rate of cleavage of Z-GPR-AFC substrate (Sigma, Cat # C0980-10MG, final concentration 150 μM) by continuously monitoring the fluorescence at 400/505 nm for 15 minutes using a Tecan Infinite M200 plate reader. The % Inhibition for each data point may be recalculated from the RFU/min data and analyzed using the log(inhibitor) vs. response four parameters equation with the GraphPad Prism software.

[0331] The αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa, αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa, and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa antibodies were evaluated in assays performed as described above. The results of these assays showed that the anti-FXI antibodies inhibited activation of FXI to FXIa by FXIIa in the presence of HMW kininogen but had no detectable inhibitory effect on FXIIa activation of FXI in the absence of HMW kininogen. These results suggest that the anti-FXI antibodies inhibit FXIIa activation of FXI to FXIa in the presence of HMW kininogen.

Example 6

[0332] Effect of the Anti-FXI Antibodies on FXIa Catalytic Activity.

[0333] An assay for determining whether an anti-FXI antibody inhibits activity of FXIa may be performed as follows. 10-point dose titrations of anti-FXI antibodies, starting at 1 μM concentration with a 3-fold dilution series, are pre-incubated with human FXI (Haematologic Technologies, Inc., Cat # HCXI-0150, final concentration 30 nM) in 50 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl.sub.2, 0.1% PEG-8000, pH 7.4 for 2 hours at 25° C. in Corning 3575 non-binding surface microplate.

[0334] The activation reaction is then initiated by addition of freshly diluted coagulation factor XIIa (Enzyme Research Laboratories, Cat # HFXIIa, final concentration 15 nM). The reaction is allowed to proceed at 25° C. for 1 hour when it is then quenched by addition of an inhibitor of FXIIa, for example, Corn Trypsin Inhibitor (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Cat# sc-204358), which may be used at a concentration of about 200 nM to inhibit FXIIa, or an FXIIa inhibitor such as H-D-Pro-Phe-Arg-chloromethylketone (PCK) disclosed in WO2013113774.

[0335] The newly activated FXIa enzymatic activity may then be detected by measuring the rate of cleavage of Z-GPR-AFC substrate (Sigma, Cat # C0980-10MG, final concentration 150 μM) by continuously monitoring the fluorescence at 400/505 nm for 15 minutes using a Tecan Infinite M200 plate reader or the rate of cleavage of or native, intact FIX. The % Inhibition for each data point may be recalculated from the RFU/minute data and analyzed using the log (inhibitor) vs. response four parameters equation with the GraphPad Prism software.

[0336] The αFXI-13716p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa, αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa, and αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa antibodies were evaluated in assays performed as described above. The results revealed that the anti-FXI antibodies did not inhibit the catalytic activity of FXIa.

[0337] The results in this example when viewed with the results obtained in Example 5 suggest that the mechanism of action for the anti-FXI antibodies is the inhibition of FXIIa conversion of FXI to FXIa in the presence of HMW kininogen and not the inhibition of FXIa activation of FIX to FIXa.

[0338] Surface Plasmon Resonance Assay for Assessment of Off-Target Binding of Anti FXI Monoclonal Antibodies to Human and NHP Coagulation Cascade Proteins.

[0339] A surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based assay (Biacore T200) was used to determine the potential non-specific interaction of the anti-Factor FXI mAbs, αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa and αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa to other human and NHP coagulation cascade proteins (Table 4). Anti-FXI mAbs were captured on a CMS sensor chip immobilized with anti-human IgG (Fc) capture kit (GE Healthcare) at approximately 500 RU to minimize potential background from co-purifying Igs in plasma derived proteins. Negative control antibody, anti-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) monoclonal antibody (mAb) (lot 23AFE), was used as a reference and to help reduce background binding of plasma-derived proteins. Binding kinetics was measured using an analyte concentration of FXI at 5 nM; all other coagulation cascade proteins were used at an analyte concentration of 500 nM. Single concentration injections (n=2) were run at 30 μL/min, 25° C., HBS-EP+, pH 7.4.

[0340] The kinetics of binding of the anti-Factor FXI mAbs, αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa and αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa to human, cynomolgus, and rhesus monkey FXI, and other human and NHP coagulation cascade proteins was measured as described above and are shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17. Biacore T200 evaluation software was used to fit data to a 1:1 binding model to determine the association rate constant, ka (M.sup.−1 s.sup.−1, where “M” equals molar and “s” equals seconds) and the dissociation rate constant, k.sub.d (s.sup.−1). These rate constants were used to calculate the equilibrium dissociation constant, KD (M).

[0341] αFXI-13654p-IgG4 (S228P) (K−)/kappa and αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa captured on chip showed no cross-reactivity against non-FXI coagulation cascade proteins (FIG. 16 and FIG. 17). These monoclonal antibodies showed expected levels of strong binding to human and cynomolgus (and Rhesus) FXI proteins.

[0342] Cynomolgus Monkey Femoral Arteriovenous (AV) Shunt Thrombosis Model.

[0343] The antithrombotic efficacy of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa was characterized in vivo in a cynomolgus monkey femoral arteriovenous (AV) shunt model developed at the Merck Research Laboratories.

[0344] Study Design:

[0345] These studies used a repeated design where each animal received 2 shunts over 2 consecutive test periods (See FIG. 18). The monkeys were administered non-compound containing vehicle (20 mM sodium acetate, 9% sucrose, pH 5.5) or αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa (dose range 0.01 to 1.0 mg/kg), during the first and second test periods, respectively. The difference between the clot weight measured during the first (vehicle) and second (αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa) test sessions determined the antithrombotic efficacy. That is, a greater decrease in clot weight during αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa versus vehicle exposure would indicate greater antithrombotic effect. The use of the repeated paired design described above allows for a within animal pre-treatment vs. post-treatment assessment of antithrombotic efficacy.

[0346] AV Shunt Placement Procedure Details:

[0347] To execute this model, anesthetized cynomolgus monkeys were instrumented with femoral arterial and venous catheters. These catheters enabled the insertion and removal of an AV shunt. The AV shunts were composed of tygon tubing with a piece of silk suture threaded through and suspended across the opening in the tube. To place the AV shunt, both arterial and venous catheters were closed to stop the blood flow. An AV shunt was then placed between the two catheters. The timing of catheter placement and removal is indicated in FIG. 18. Once the shunt was in place, the catheters were opened and blood flowed through the shunt circuit contacting the silk suture. The action of blood contacting the suture promoted clot formation. The AV shunt remained in place for 40 minutes. To remove the AV shunt, both arterial and venous catheters were closed to stop the blood flow through the AV shunt. Then, the shunt was removed and cut open to access the silk suture and blood clot. The blood clot was weighed. The data is reported as the net clot weight which is defined as the total clot weight minus silk suture weight.

[0348] The coagulation biomarkers activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) as well as circulating plasma levels of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103Lv/kappa were measured from blood samples collected throughout the experiment as depicted in FIG. 18. aPTT and PT were measured from thawed frozen (−80° C.) citrated plasma collected from cynomolgus monkeys using the Sta Compact Max coagulation analyzer (Stago Diagnostic, Inc). The Stago analyzer measures the time of clot formation using an electro-magnetic mechanical clot detection system. For the aPTT assay fifty microliters of plasma was mixed with 50 μL of ellagic acid mixture (APTT-XL, Pacific Hemostasis; Fisher Diagnostics cat #10-0402) at 37° C. for 3 minutes. Fifty microliters of 0.025 M Calcium Chloride (Sta—CaCl2 0.025 M, Stago Diagnostic, Inc., cat#00367) was added to the mixture, and the time to clot formation was measured. For the PT assay fifty microliters of plasma was incubated at 37° C. for 4 minutes. The timing for clot formation was initiated by adding 100 μL of thromboplastin reagent (Neoplastine Cl Plus 10, Stago Diagnostic, Inc., cat#00667). Plasma [αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L/kappa] was measured as follows. An electrochemiluminescence-based generic hIgG4 immunoassay was used to quantify αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa in cynomolgus monkey plasma. The assay was established with biotinylated goat anti-human IgG(H+L) from Bethyl (cat# A80-319B) as capture reagent, and sulfoTAG labeled mouse anti-human IgG (Fc specific) from Southern Biotech (cat#9190-01) for detection reagent. This assay was qualified and the lower limit of quantification of the assay was determined to be 40 ng/mL with minimum required dilution of 100.

[0349] Results:

[0350] FIGS. 19A-D summarize the effects of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa administration on thrombus formation (FIG. 19A, FIG. 19B), aPTT (FIG. 19C) and PT (FIG. 19D). αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa displayed a dose- and plasma concentration-dependent decrease in clot weight with complete efficacy (90-100% clot reduction) observed at plasma [αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa] of >1.5 μg/mL (about 10 nM). αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa displayed a dose- and plasma concentration-dependent increase in aPTT. Plasma concentrations of 26 μg/mL (˜180 nM) αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa yielded an approximate 100% increase in aPTT, while 1.5 μg/mL (˜10 nM) αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa resulted in an approximate 60% increase in aPTT. Unlike aPTT, PT changed <10% across the concentrations of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa evaluated, consistent with a selective effect of FXI inhibition on the intrinsic coagulation pathway.

[0351] Cynomolgus Monkey Template Bleeding Time Model.

[0352] The bleeding propensity of the anti-FXI mAb αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa was characterized in vivo in a cynomolgus monkey template bleeding time model developed at the Merck Research Laboratories. This model has been used previously to demonstrate significant increases in template bleeding times at multiple anatomic sites with triple antiplatelet therapy (Cai et al., Eur J Pharmacol 758: 107-114 (2015)).

[0353] To execute this model, template bleeding times were determined using spring-loaded lancets on the buccal mucosa (inner lip), finger pad and distal tail at varying time points to induce bleeding.

[0354] Bleeding Time Test:

[0355] The bleeding time test was performed in anesthetized cynomolgus monkeys as follows. Each test region (buccal mucosa, finger pad or distal tail) was carefully examined to identify a suitable incision site for bleeding inducement. To induce bleeding, a spring-loaded lancet was placed firmly against the selected test site and activated to cause a uniform linear incision. The lancet specifications determined the incision dimensions. Blood from the incision site was allowed to flow freely and was monitored until the bleeding stopped for 30 continuous seconds. This defined the bleeding time (BT). The BT was recorded for each BT site. During the BT determinations, the distal tail incision site was superfused with warm sterile lactated Ringers solution, and the finger pad site was immersed in warm sterile lactated Ringers. Applying lactated ringers improved the ability to see blood flow for these sites.

[0356] Study Design:

[0357] Each study was comprised of three 30 minute template bleeding time tests (BT) at the three test regions (See FIG. 20). The first BT determined Baseline bleeding. The second BT occurred 70 minutes after a 3 minute IV infusion (2.83 mL/kg) of non-compound containing vehicle (20 mM sodium acetate, 9% sucrose, pH 5.5) (Treatment #1). The third BT occurred 70 minutes after a 3 minute IV infusion (2.83 mL/kg) of non-compound containing vehicle or αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa (17 mg/kg)(Treatment #2). Bleeding was monitored and bleeding time recorded as described above. The time when bleeding stopped was recorded for each site. Periodic blood samples were collected to determine circulating plasma levels of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa, aPTT and PT.

[0358] Each test animal had two study sessions. In study session #1, vehicle followed by vehicle constituted Treatment #1 and Treatment #2, respectively. In study session #2, vehicle followed by 17 mg/kg IV αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa constituted Treatment #1 and Treatment #2, respectively.

[0359] The 70 minute time period between the end of the test article infusion and initiation of bleeding time assessments mirrored the timing in the AV shunt model for thrombus mass determination (shunt placement 30 min post treatment+40 min blood flow through the shunt). The 17 mg/kg IV test dose of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa was estimated to achieve 10× the projected human C.sub.max αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa based on the PK/PD primate modeling studies described previously.

[0360] The coagulation biomarkers activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) as well as circulating plasma levels of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa were measured from blood samples collected throughout the experiment as depicted in FIG. 20. aPTT and PT were measured from thawed frozen (−80° C.) citrated plasma collected from the animals using the Sta-R Evolution coagulation analyzer (Stago Diagnostic, Inc). The coagulation analyzer measures the time to clot formation using an electro-magnetic mechanical clot detection system. For the aPTT assay, the analyzer mixes 50 μL of plasma with 50 μL of ellagic acid (APTT-XL, Pacific Hemostasis; Fisher Diagnostics cat #10-0402) in a cuvette which is then incubated at 37° C. for 3 minutes. 50 μL of 0.025M Calcium Chloride (Sta—CaCl.sub.2 0.025 M, Stago Diagnostic, Inc., cat#00367) is then added to the mixture to initiate clotting, and the time to clot formation measured. For the PT assay, 50 μL of plasma was incubated in a cuvette at 37° C. for 4 minutes; clotting was initiated by adding 100 μL of solubilized thromboplastin reagent (Triniclot PT Excel, TCoag, Inc., cat# T1106). Plasma [αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa] was measured as follows. An electrochemiluminescence-based generic hIgG4 immunoassay was used to quantify αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa in cynomolgus monkey plasma. The assay was established with biotinylated goat anti-human IgG(H+L) from Bethyl (cat# A80-319B) as capture reagent, and sulfoTAG labeled mouse anti-human IgG (Fc specific) from Southern Biotech (cat#9190-01) for detection reagent. This assay was qualified and the lower limit of quantification of the assay was determined to be 40 ng/mL with minimum required dilution of 100.

[0361] Results:

[0362] FIG. 21 summarizes the effects of vehicle and 17 mg/kg IV αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa administration in four cynomolgus monkeys on buccal mucosa (FIG. 21A, FIG. 21 D), finger pad (FIG. 21B, FIG. 21E) and distal tail (FIG. 21C, FIG. 21F) template bleeding times. Effects on bleeding times were assessed by comparing absolute bleeding times (FIGS. 21A-C) and percentage changes in bleeding times (FIGS. 21D-F) with vehicle-vehicle as Treatments #1 and 2 in study session #1, and vehicle-αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa as Treatments #1 and #2 in study session #2. Comparisons of both vehicle vs. αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa absolute bleeding times as well as vehicle-vehicle vs. vehicle-αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa percentage changes in bleeding times detected no statistically significant changes in bleeding times at any of the test sites with αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa administration at this test dose, albeit with non-significant trends in buccal mucosa and distal tail bleeding driven by one animal each at each test site.

[0363] The plasma concentration of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa achieved with the 17 mg/kg IV test dose in the cynomolgus bleeding time study 419±42.4 (mean±SEM) μg/mL (˜2807 nM). Plasma aPTT values were 32.7±1.1 sec at baseline vs. 68.6±3.2 sec following 17 mg/kg IV αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa (2.1-fold increase). Plasma PT values were 12.4±0.22 sec at baseline vs. 12.8±0.24 sec following 17 mg/kg IV αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa (no appreciable increase was observed).

[0364] Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) Evaluation of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L/Kappa Following Multiple Intravenous Administrations in Rhesus Monkeys.

[0365] The PKPD properties of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa were characterized in vivo in rhesus monkey. The objective was to evaluate the PK properties and to establish a PK/PD relationship after a total of two weekly doses.

[0366] Study Design:

[0367] Rhesus monkeys (four animals per dose group) were administered (IV) non-compound vehicle (10 mM Sodium Acetate, 9% Sucrose, pH 5.5) or αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa at two dose levels of 3 and 6 mg/kg. The duration of the study was 22 days and 1.5 mL of blood was collected for determination of drug levels and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The coagulation biomarker (aPTT) and circulating plasma levels of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K+)/kappa were measured from blood samples collected throughout the experiment as depicted in Table 5.

[0368] aPTT was measured from thawed frozen (−80° C.) citrated plasma collected from the animals using the Sta-R Evolution coagulation analyzer (Stago Diagnostic, Inc). The coagulation analyzer measures the time to clot-formation using an electro-magnetic mechanical clot detection system. For the aPTT assay, the analyzer mixes 50 μL of plasma with 50 μL of ellagic acid (APTT-XL, Pacific Hemostasis; Fisher Diagnostics cat #10-0402) in a cuvette which is then incubated at 37° C. for 3 minutes. 50 μL of 0.025M Calcium Chloride (Sta—CaCl2 0.025M, Stago Diagnostic, Inc., cat#00367) is then added to the mixture to initiate clotting, and the time to clot-formation measured.

[0369] An electrochemiluminescence-based generic human IgG4 (huIgG4) immunoassay was used to quantify αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa in cynomolgus monkey plasma. The assay was established with biotinylated goat anti-human IgG(H+L) from Bethyl (cat# A80-319B) as capture reagent, and sulfoTAG labeled mouse anti-human IgG (Fc specific) from Southern Biotech (cat#9190-01) for detection reagent. This assay was qualified and the lower limit of quantification of the assay was determined to be 40 ng/mL with minimum required dilution of 100.

[0370] Individual animal plasma concentration-time data for αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L (K−)/kappa were analyzed using non-compartmental (NCA) methods (Gabrielsson and Weiner, 2000). All PK parameters were estimated or calculated using Phoenix 32 WinNonlin 6.3 (version 6.3.0.395, Certara L.P. St. Louis, Mo., 2012). Noncompartmental analyses utilized Model 201 (IV). All concentration data and PK parameters were rounded to 3 significant figures. Samples with concentration values below the lower limit of quantitation (<LLOQ) were excluded from PK analysis and mean data calculations. For graphical purposes, values <LLOQ were set to be ½ of the minimal reportable concentration for individual animal concentration-time plots.

[0371] A sigmoidal E.sub.max response (PK/PD) model was used to characterize the relationship between exposure and aPTT using GraphPad Prism version 7.00 (GraphPad Software Inc). In the model, the E.sub.max value corresponds to the maximum increase in aPTT achieved from baseline and the EC.sub.50 value corresponds to the half-maximal effective concentration. Variability was reported as 95% confidence interval (CI) for the EC.sub.50 value provided by the software.

[0372] Results:

[0373] The individual concentration-time profiles for αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa are depicted in FIG. 22. Non-linearity was observed for all PK parameters. The mean clearance values decreased from about 40 mL/kg.Math.day for the lowest dose tested (0.1 mg/kg) to about 3 mL/kg.Math.day for the highest dose tested (6 mg/kg). The aPTT concentration-time profiles are depicted in FIG. 23. A dose dependent increase in aPTT was observed. The relationship between plasma concentrations of αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa and aPTT best described by the sigmoidal E.sub.max model adequately described this relationship. The estimated EC.sub.50 value for αFXI-13716-IgG4 (S228P) Q1E M103L(K−)/kappa was about 1.7 ng/mL. Based on the results a therapeutically effective amount may be about 1.0 to 2.0 mg/kg.
