BackgroundTumors evade destruction by the immune system through multiple mechanisms including altering metabolism in the tumor microenvironment. Metabolic control of immune responses occurs through depletion of essential nutrients or accumulation of toxic metabolites that impair immune cell function and promote tumor growth. The secreted enzyme interleukin 4 (IL-4)-induced gene 1 (IL4I1) is an L-phenylalanine oxidase that catabolizes phenylalanine and produces phenyl-pyruvate and hydrogen peroxide. IL4I1 regulates several aspects of adaptive immunity in mice, including inhibition of cytotoxic T cells through its production of hydrogen peroxide (reviewed in1). In human tumors, IL4I1 expression is significantly elevated relative to normal tissues and is notably high in ovarian tumors and B cell lymphomas. Motivated by the hypothesis that IL4I1 is an immuno-metabolic enzyme that suppresses anti-tumor immunity, we discovered CB-668, the first known small-molecule inhibitor of IL4I1.MethodsIL4I1 enzymatic activity was measured using an HRP-coupled enzyme assay. RNA in-situ hybridization was carried out on the RNAScope platform. Syngeneic mouse tumor models were used to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of CB-668. The level of phenyl-pyruvate in tumor homogenates was measured by LC/MS.ResultsOur clinical candidate, CB-668 is a potent and selective non-competitive inhibitor of IL4I1 (IC50 = 15 nM). CB-668 has favorable in vitro ADME properties and showed low clearance and high oral bioavailability in rodents. Twice-daily oral administration of CB-668 was well-tolerated in mice and resulted in single-agent anti-tumor activity in the syngeneic mouse tumor models B16-F10, A20, and EG7. Oral CB-668 administration reduced the levels of phenyl-pyruvate in the tumor, consistent with inhibition of IL4I1 enzymatic activity. Anti-tumor activity of CB-668 was immune cell-mediated since efficacy was abrogated in CD8-depleted mice, and CB-668 treatment caused increased expression of pro-inflammatory immune genes in the tumor. Moreover, CB-668 had no direct anti-proliferative activity on tumor cells grown in vitro (IC50 > 50 µM). CB-668 also favorably combined with anti-PD-L1 therapy to reduce tumor growth in the B16-F10 tumor model.ConclusionsThese data support an immune-mediated anti-tumor effect of IL4I1 inhibition by CB-668, and suggest inhibition of IL4I1 represents a novel strategy for cancer immuno-therapy.ReferencesMolinier-Frenkel V, Prévost-Blondel A, and Castellano F.

BackgroundThe use of pattern recognition receptor agonists (PRRAs) such as Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists is an attractive approach for cancer immunotherapy. TLR agonism elicits anti-tumor activity by activating antigen presenting cells (APCs) to promote a proinflammatory microenvironment and anti-tumor immunity. Local delivery of TLR agonists has shown encouraging preclinical and clinical anti-tumor benefit. However, intratumoral (IT) delivery of naked PRRAs may lead to rapid effusion from the tumor microenvironment, potentially impacting their effectiveness in inducing local inflammation and may promote systemic cytokine release, increasing the risk of adverse effects.MethodsTransConTM TLR7/8 Agonist was designed to address the current limitations of PRRA therapies and IT delivery through sustained and controlled release of resiquimod, a potent TLR7/8 agonist, following IT administration of a hydrogel depot.ResultsA single IT injection of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist induced potent tumor growth inhibition in a dose-dependent manner in syngeneic mouse CT26 tumors. Following IT TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist treatment, acute and sustained upregulation of cell surface markers indicative of activation of APCs, such as CD54, CD69, and CD86, in the tumor was observed by fluorescence activated flow cytometry (FACs). Additionally, TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist treatment was associated with an increase in the frequency of APCs with an activated phenotype in tumor draining lymph nodes (LNs). Further, a concomitant potentiation in the frequency of activated CD4 and CD8 T cells in tumor draining LNs following IT TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist treatment was observed, as demonstrated by increased expression of Ki67, ICOS, or granzyme B.ConclusionsThese data support that a single IT dose of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist can mediate robust anti-tumor activity as a monotherapy in the CT26 syngeneic mouse tumor model while promoting local activation of intratumoral APCs. Such activation may promote tumor antigen uptake and migration to tumor-associated lymphoid tissue, as evidenced by an increase in APCs with an activated phenotype in tumor draining LNs following TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist treatment. Activated tumor antigen-bearing APCs can promote the priming and activation of tumor-specific T cells in the tumor-draining LNs. Consistently, a dose-dependent increase in the frequency of T cells with an activated effector phenotype in tumor draining LNs following administration of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist was observed. These preclinical data further support TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist as a novel and potentially efficacious PRRA therapy. A clinical trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist as monotherapy, and in combination with pembrolizumab, in cancer patients has been initiated (transcendIT-101; NCT04799054).Ethics ApprovalThe animal studies performed described were performed in accordance with the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals: Eighth Edition” and approved by the institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC).
