Cooke 1 (1) Magenta Therapeutics, Cambridge, MA, (2) Blood and Marrow Transplantation, Department of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, (3) Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for malignant and non-malignant blood disorders and has demonstrated impressive outcomes in autoimmune diseases. Current regimens for patient preparation, or conditioning, prior to allo-HSCT limit the use of this curative procedure due to regimen-related mortality and morbidities, including risks of organ toxicity, infertility, and secondary malignancies. This greatly limits the use of allo-HSCT in malignant and non-malignant conditions. To address these issues, we are developing novel antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) to provide the benefit of full- intensity conditioning to remove disease-causing cells while reducing the severity of treatment-related adverse events. To model these safer alternative conditioning strategies we have developed a novel ADC targeting mouse CD45, engineered to have rapid clearance, to provide a readily translatable approach that may enable allo-HSCT as a single agent. Previous work using an ADC approach to mouse CD45 has been shown to be sufficient to enable bone marrow transplant in syngeneic immune competent mice (Palchaudhuri et al. Nature Biotech 2016), and this approach in combination with CD4 and CD8 depleting antibodies has successfully enabled allo-HSCT in the haploidentical mouse model. The aim of this study was to model our engineered ADC to determine if it can be used to enable full allo-HSCT in mice. INTRODUCTION RESULTS A single dose of the tool CD45-ADC is fully myeloablative and enables complete chimerism in a full mismatch allo-HSCT model. See OS5-4 for additional work with this mouse tool CD45-ADC to enable immune reset with HSCT in mouse models of autoimmune disease. This targeted, readily translatable approach for safer conditioning could improve the risk-benefit profile for allogenic and haploidentical HSCT and may extend the curative potential of this modality. CONCLUSION A CD45-targeted Antibody Drug Conjugate Enables Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation as a Single Agent in Mice METHODS The CD45-ADC was evaluated in unmanipulated C57BL/6 mice to determine a myeloablative dose and to establish pharmacokinetics. The optimal dose of CD45-ADC was evaluated for the ability to condition for transplant in a congenic autologous mouse transplant model. Then, CD45-ADC was evaluated in an allogenic minor mismatch HSCT model in which conditioned DBA/2 mice were transplanted with 2 x 10 7 whole bone marrow cells harvested from pooled Balb/c CD45.1+ donors. Finally, we evaluated whether a single dose of the tool CD45-ADC was sufficient to enable chimerism in a full mismatch allo-HSCT model in which conditioned C57BL/6 mice (H2-b) were transplanted with 4 x 10 7 whole bone marrow cells from pooled Balb/c CD45.1+ (H-2d) donors. 9 Gy TBI served as the conventional conditioning positive control in all experiments.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) is a potentially

curative treatment for malignant and non-malignant blood disorders and

has demonstrated impressive outcomes in autoimmune diseases. Current

regimens for patient preparation, or conditioning, prior to allo-HSCT limit

the use of this curative procedure due to regimen-related mortality and

morbidities, including risks of organ toxicity, infertility, and secondary

malignancies. This greatly limits the use of allo-HSCT in malignant and

non-malignant conditions. To address these issues, we are developing

novel antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) to provide the benefit of full-

intensity conditioning to remove disease-causing cells while reducing the

severity of treatment-related adverse events. To model these safer

alternative conditioning strategies we have developed a novel ADC

targeting mouse CD45, engineered to have rapid clearance, to provide a

readily translatable approach that may enable allo-HSCT as a single

agent.

Previous work using an ADC approach to mouse CD45 has been shown

to be sufficient to enable bone marrow transplant in syngeneic immune

competent mice (Palchaudhuri et al. Nature Biotech 2016), and this

approach in combination with CD4 and CD8 depleting antibodies has

successfully enabled allo-HSCT in the haploidentical mouse model. The

aim of this study was to model our engineered ADC to determine if it can

be used to enable full allo-HSCT in mice.

INTRODUCTION

RESULTS

• A single dose of the tool CD45-ADC is fully myeloablative and enables

complete chimerism in a full mismatch allo-HSCT model.

• See OS5-4 for additional work with this mouse tool CD45-ADC to enable

immune reset with HSCT in mouse models of autoimmune disease.

• This targeted, readily translatable approach for safer conditioning could

improve the risk-benefit profile for allogenic and haploidentical HSCT and

may extend the curative potential of this modality.

myeloablative dose and to establish pharmacokinetics. The optimal dose of CD45-ADC was

evaluated for the ability to condition for transplant in a congenic autologous mouse

transplant model. Then, CD45-ADC was evaluated in an allogenic minor mismatch HSCT

model in which conditioned DBA/2 mice were transplanted with 2 x 107 whole bone marrow

cells harvested from pooled Balb/c CD45.1+ donors. Finally, we evaluated whether a single

dose of the tool CD45-ADC was sufficient to enable chimerism in a full mismatch allo-HSCT

model in which conditioned C57BL/6 mice (H2-b) were transplanted with 4 x 107 whole bone

marrow cells from pooled Balb/c CD45.1+ (H-2d) donors. 9 Gy TBI served as the

conventional conditioning positive control in all experiments. Peripheral blood chimerism

assessed over 16 weeks.
