RESUMO

Background: Severe eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (ECRSwNP) remains the most relapsed subtype of uncontrolled CRSwNP. CM310, a humanised anti-interleukin (IL)-4 receptor alpha monoclonal antibody, inhibits IL-4 and IL-13 signaling which underlying eosinophilic inflammation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CM310 in patients with severe ECRSwNP. Methods: A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, and placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial was conducted. 56 eligible adult patients with severe ECRSwNP were randomised 1:1 to receive subcutaneously either CM310 (300 mg) or placebo every 2 weeks under the background therapy of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) for 16 weeks, with 8 weeks of follow-up. Coprimary endpoints included the changes from baseline in nasal polyp score (NPS) and nasal congestion score (NCS) at week 16. Key secondary endpoints included sinus Lund-Mackay CT score, change in sinus volume occupied by disease, University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test score, 22-item Sino-nasal Outcome Test score, and total symptom score. Safety, pharmacodynamics, and changes in type 2 inflammation biomarkers were assessed. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04805398. Findings: Between April 6, 2021, and March 18, 2022, 27 patients respectively in both the CM310 and placebo groups completed the study. Findings suggested that CM310 improved the coprimary efficacy endpoints of decreasing nasal polyp size and alleviating nasal congestion compared with the placebo. Least squares (LS) mean differences (CM310 vs placebo) of change from baseline in NPS and NCS at week 16 were -2.1 (95% CI -2.9, -1.4; p < 0.0001) and -0.9 (95% CI -1.4, -0.5; p < 0.0001), respectively. Sinus CT scan revealed that Lund-Mackay CT score (LS mean difference [95% CI] -7.6, [-9.4, -5.8]; p < 0.0001) and sinus volume occupied by disease (LS mean difference [95% CI] -37%, [-47%, -28%]; p < 0.0001) were significantly improved with CM310 compared with placebo. In addition, CM310 significantly relieved the daily symptoms of patients with CRSwNP and improved their quality of life reflected by the improvements in the TSS (-2.6 [95% CI -3.5, -1.6]), UPSIT (10.4 [95% CI 6.8, 14.0]) and SNOT-22 score (-19.1 [95% CI -29.8, -8.5]). Compared with placebo, CM310 administration significantly reduced type 2-related biomarkers including the serum TARC and total IgE, and tissue eosinophils. The most common adverse events were upper respiratory tract infection, blood cholesterol increased, and tinnitus, but none were considered drug-related. Interpretation: These findings support CM310 as an effective additional treatment option to the standard of care in patients with severe ECRSwNP. Funding: KeyMed Biosciences (Chengdu) Limited.

RESUMO

InterFeron-gamma Inducible protein 16 (IFI16) belongs to the interferon inducible HIN200 protein family that contains transcriptional regulators linked to cell cycle regulation and differentiation. All family members contain at most two domains of 200 amino acids, called HIN200, each containing two Oligonucleotide/Oligosaccharide Binding (OB) folds. IFI16 is involved in transcriptional repression and is a component of the DNA repair multi-protein complex known as BASC, which forms after UV-induced DNA damage. In this study, we used fold recognition and biophysical approaches as a tool to infer and validate functions to the HIN200 domain. Since the best template to model IFI16-HIN200 is Replication Protein A (RPA) in complex with single-stranded nucleic acids, we tested six RPA nucleic acid-binding characteristics for IFI16-HIN200. Our results indicate that IFI16-HIN200 is an RPA-like, OB-fold, nucleic acid-binding protein that binds to ssDNA with higher affinity than to dsDNA, recognizes ssDNA in the same orientation as RPA, oligomerizes upon ssDNA binding, wraps and stretches ssDNA, but does not destabilize dsDNA. We finally propose a framework model explaining how the HIN200 domain could prevent ssDNA from re-annealing.
