1 Update on Biologicals for ABPA and Asthma 5 th Advances Against Aspergillosis Istanbul 27 Jan 2012 Richard B. Moss MD Professor of Pediatrics Stanford University Palo Alto CA USA

2 Disease of chronic airway inflammation Characterized by What is Asthma? Episodic reversible airflow obstruction Airway hyper-responsiveness Episodic/Chronic Symptoms Cookson W. Nature 1999; 402S: B5-11

3 Asthma Phenotypes Wenzel S. Lancet 2006;368:804-13

4 Asthma Phenotype and Endotype Phenotype = Observable characteristics and response to treatment Endotype = Subtype by distinct pathophysiologic mechansim Lotvall J et al JACI 2011;127:355-60

5 Lotvall J et al. JACI 2011;127:355-60

6 Spectrum of Pulmonary Disease Caused by Aspergillus Saprophytic: structurally damaged host (bronchiectasis, cavities, necrotic tissue) Aspergilloma (mcyetoma) Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis Allergic: immunocompetent host Asthma/Severe Asthma with Fungal Sensitization (SAFS) Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (allergic alveolitis) Bronchocentric granulomatosis Eosinophilic pneumonia Invasive: immunosuppressed host Angioinvasive aspergillosis Acute bronchopneumonia Pseudomembranous necrotizing tracheobronchitis Invasive pleural disease

7 Potential Targets for New Asthma Drugs Thomson NC et al. BMC Medicine 2011;9:102

8 Diagnostic Criteria for ABPA Five or more of: Asthma Central bronchiectasis on HRCT Immediate skin test reactivity to A. fumigatus Total serum IgE >1000 ng/ml (~417 U/mL) Elevated IgG and/or IgE antibodies to A. fumigatus Pulmonary infiltrates on CXR Serum precipitins to A. fumigatus Eosinophilia

9 Diagnosis of ABPA modified for CF 1. Acute or subacute clinical deterioration (cough, wheeze, exercise intolerance, exercise induced asthma, change in pulmonary function, increased sputum) not attributable to another etiology. 2. Total serum IgE >500 IU/mL. 3. Immediate skin test reactivity, or in vitro demonstration of IgE antibody, to A. fumigatus. 4. One or both of the following: a. Serum precipitins, or IgG antibody, to A. fumigatus. b. New or recent abnormalities on the chest radiograph (infiltrates, mucus plugging) or chest CT (bronchiectasis) that have not cleared with antibiotics and standard physiotherapy. Stevens et al. Clin Infect Dis 2003;37:S225-64

10 Pathogenesis of ABPA Th 17 Courtesy D Hartl

11 Therapeutic Approaches for ABPA Systemic glucocorticosteroids Toxicity Azoles Validated by DBPC RCTs Frequent toxicities (Vori>Itra). Absorption, metabolism, drug interactions mandate drug level monitoring. Resistance. Inhaled amphotericin B Multiple formulations, doses, delivery systems. Pulse IV methylprednisolone Potential for reduced steroid toxicity. Omalizumab

12 Overview of the Allergic Inflammatory Cascade 8

13 IgE Binds to Mast Cells at the High Affinity Receptor (FcεRI) FcεRI binding site IgE molecule FcεRI receptor IgE molecule bound to mast cell Mast cell

14 IgE-dependent Release of Inflammatory Mediators IgE Allergens FcεRI Immediate Release Granule contents: Histamine, TNF-α, Proteases, Heparin Sneezing Nasal congestion Itchy, runny nose Watery eyes Over Minutes Lipid mediators: Prostaglandins Leukotrienes Wheezing Bronchoconstriction Over Hours Cytokine production: Specifically IL-4, IL-13 Mucus production Eosinophil recruitment

15 Omalizumab Blocks IgE Binding to Mast Cells IgE molecule Omalizumab FcεRI receptor Omalizumab binds to CH3 on IgE at FcεRI interaction site Mast cell

16 Omalizumab Prevents the Triggering of Allergic Inflammation

17 Removal of IgE and Down-Regulation of FcεRI by Omalizumab IgE must be reduced >99% for FcεRI to become unoccupied and down-regulated

18 Doses Are Determined by IgE Level and Body Weight Fixed target range for free-ige suppression requires doses determined by individual s pretreatment IgE High pre-rx IgE Low pre-rx IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE IgE + Omalizumab + Omalizumab IgE IgE IgE IgE Target IgE <10 IU/mL Graphical representation assumes patients of equal body weight.

19 Omalizumab Mechanism in IgE-mediated Asthma Reduces mediator release ε-switch Release of IgE B lymphocyte Allergic mediators Plasma cell Allergic Inflammation: eosinophils and lymphocytes Allergens Exacerbation Binds free IgE, reducing cellbound IgE Reduces high-affinity IgE receptors Reduces exacerbations

24 Modifying Omalizumab Dosing for ABPA

25 Omalizumab in ABPA Spanish Series 2 of 18 patients in this series had CF Treatment 16 weeks. Follow-up median 36 wks (IQR 28-42) Dose ~600 mg/week Perez-de-Llano LA et al. Thorax 2011; 66:539-40

26 Omalizumab in ABPA French Series 16 adults, no CF Tillie-Lebond I et al. Allergy 2011;66:1254-6

34 Conclusions Asthma is heterogeneous fungal asthma, SAFS and ABPA are forms of allergic/t H 2 endotypic asthma along a severity spectrum Omalizumab (anti-ige) is an effective biological approach to allergic asthma, including ABPA Other biologicals targeting the T H 2 pathway (IL4/13, IL5, eosinophils, others) show promise for selected severe T H 2 endotype asthma/abpa patients Controlled trials of biologics are needed in fungal asthma, SAFS and ABPA
