Biological Activity of Motolimod (VTX-2337)

DescriptionMotolimod is a selective Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 agonist, with EC50 of about 100 nM.In Vitro:Among the TLRs tested (TLR2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9), Motolimod (VTX-2337) selectively activates TLR8. Motolimod stimulates the production of both TNFα (EC50=140±30 nM based on 10 donors) and IL-12 (EC50=120±30 nM based on 10 donors) in PBMCs. The EC50 value for MIP-1β induction is 60 nM for Motolimod[1].In Vivo:Monkeys receive a subcutaneous injection of Motolimod (1 or 10 mg/kg), and plasma is collected predose, 6, 12, 24, and 96 h post-injection. For the 10 mg/kg dose, mean plasma levels of IL-1β increase from baseline levels of 0.5 pg/mL, up to 9.12±2.7 ng/mL (p<0.05, t-test) at 6 h post-administration of Motolimod (10 mg/kg). Circulating levels of IL-18 also increase from a baseline of ~ 1 pg/mL to 68.7±4.4 pg/mL (p<0.05, t-test) at 6 h in response to the Motolimod (VTX-2337) treatment (10 mg/kg). Levels of IL-6 are monitored, as this mediator is induced in response to TLR8 activation, but the release is independent of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In addition, plasma levels of IFNγ are assessed as a measure of NK cell activation in response to Motolimod treatment[2].

Protocol

Kinase Assay [1]
Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) expressing TLR2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, or 9 are cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Media containing 4.5 g/L L-glucose and 10% FBS. The activity of specific TLR agonists is assessed using the secretory embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter gene that is linked to NF-κB activation in response to TLR stimulation. Measurement of SEAP activity using the Quanti-blue substrate after TLR agonist treatment is carried out similarly[1].

Cell Assay [1]
PBMCs or purified NK cells are prepared, and the purity of NK cells is approximately 99%. NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity is assessed by Calcein AM release from labeled target cells. In brief, PBMCs or purified NK cells are cultured for 48 hours in RPMI medium in the presence of Motolimod (167 or 500 nM) before incubation with target cells[1].

Animal Administration [2]
Monkeys[2] The male monkeys (2.9-4.9 kg) are housed individually (cage dimensions of 0.76 m wide×0.74 m deep×0.81 m in height), but commingled periodically as part of the environmental enrichment program. The animals are also given fruit, vegetable, or additional supplements as a form of environmental enrichment, as well as given various cage enrichment devices. Animals are given Certified Primate Diet, two times daily and water ad libitum. Motolimod is administered as a bolus subcutaneous (SC) injection in the intrascapular area at doses of 1 and 10 mg/kg. Blood samples are collected at baseline (pre-dose), and 6, 12, 24, and 96 h post injection to monitor levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the plasma using the human MAP v.1.6 inflammation panel.

Background on Motolimod (VTX-2337)

Target: TLR8

IC50: 100 nM (EC50)

Motolimod (VTX-2337) is a small molecule, selective Toll-like receptor (TLR) 8 agonist with EC50 value of 100 nM [1]. VTX-2337 is currently in clinical development as an immunotherapy for multiple oncology indications, including ovarian cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [2]. TLR8 is located in the endosome where it functions in the recognition of foreign nucleic acids from intracellular pathogens. TLR8 has emerged as a potential target for anticancer immunotherapies [1].

In vitro: VTX-2337 (800 nmol/L) activated NK cells, leading to increased TNFα and IL-12, IFNγ production and VTX-2337 (167 or 500 nmol/L) augmented rituximab- and trastuzumab-mediated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) [1]. Moreover, VTX-2337 (3 or 10 μM) induced mature IL-1β and IL-18 production through NLRP3 inflammasome activation in THP-1 cells [2].

In vivo: VTX-2337 (1 or 10 mg/kg, subcutaneous injection) induced IL-1β and IL-18 production in male cynomolgus monkeys [2].

Clinical trial: In a phase I dose-finding study, VTX-2337 (0.1–3.9 mg/m2, subcutaneous administration) was well tolerated and active with a predictable pharmacologic profile in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma [3].

Phase Ib Trial of the Toll-like Receptor 8 Agonist, Motolimod (VTX-2337), Combined with Cetuximab in Patients with Recurrent or Metastatic SCCHN.[Pubmed:27810904]

Clin Cancer Res. 2017 May 15;23(10):2442-2450.

Purpose: As Toll-like receptors (TLR) are key mediators of immune responses, TLR agonists may be important for augmenting the efficacy of therapies for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Motolimod (VTX-2337), a selective small-molecule agonist of TLR8, stimulates natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, and monocytes. A phase Ib clinical trial assessed the safety and antitumor activity of motolimod in combination with cetuximab in patients with SCCHN. Correlative biomarkers of immune activity were explored.Experimental Design: Thirteen patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN were enrolled in this open-label, dose-escalation study using a standard 3 + 3 design. Doses of motolimod (2.5, 3.0, or 3.5 mg/m(2)) were given on days 1, 8, and 15, in combination with fixed weekly doses of cetuximab in 28-day cycles.Results: There were no protocol-defined dose-limiting toxicities, drug-related deaths, or evidence of synergistic toxicities between motolimod and cetuximab. Clinical tolerability at the 3.5 mg/m(2) dose level was not optimal for repeated dosing and 3.0 mg/m(2) was identified as the MTD. Two patients achieved partial responses for an overall response rate of 15%. Five patients had disease stabilization equating to a disease control rate of 54%. Statistically significant increases in plasma cytokines and in the frequency and activation of circulating NK cells were observed.Conclusions: Motolimod can be safely administered in combination with cetuximab with an acceptable toxicity profile. Encouraging antitumor activity and robust pharmacodynamic responses were observed. Motolimod is being further investigated in a phase II trial in patients with SCCHN (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01836029). Clin Cancer Res; 23(10); 2442-50. (c)2016 AACR.

Late-Stage Cancer Patients Remain Highly Responsive to Immune Activation by the Selective TLR8 Agonist Motolimod (VTX-2337).[Pubmed:26152744]

Clin Cancer Res. 2015 Dec 15;21(24):5445-52.

PURPOSE: Immunotherapy as a treatment for cancer holds the promise of complete and durable tumor remission, yet the immunosuppressive environment created by many tumors, advanced patient age, and previous treatments with cytotoxic agents may limit the approach. The activity of Motolimod (VTX-2337), a potent and selective Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) agonist, was therefore assessed in the context of advanced, late-stage cancer patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The repertoire of mediators induced from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to motolimod was characterized. Translational studies in cynomolgus monkeys elucidated the activity of motolimod on an intact immune system, identified biomarkers of TLR8 activation, and defined the relationship between the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) response. The PK/PD relationship for motolimod in cancer patients was assessed, compared with preclinical findings, and contrasted with activity in healthy volunteers. RESULTS: In late-stage cancer patients, plasma levels of multiple biomarkers, including IL6, G-CSF, MCP-1, and MIP1-beta, increased with increasing motolimod dose. The magnitude and breadth of the biomarker response closely aligned with the response seen in preclinical studies, demonstrating that advanced cancer patients remained responsive to TLR8 activation. In addition, the PK/PD response in cancer patients closely aligned with the activity of motolimod seen in healthy volunteers. CONCLUSIONS: Late-stage cancer patients are highly sensitive to TLR8 activation by motolimod. Tumor burden, advanced age, and prior treatment history with cytotoxic agents did not moderate or modify the response predicted by nonclinical studies and confirmed in healthy volunteers. Clin Cancer Res; 21(24); 5445-52. (c)2015 AACR.
