Patent Title: Modulation of the TME by IL-2 and/or PD-1 mAbs to Induce Antitumor Immunity by IL-2 and PD-1 Blocking

United States Patent Number: 11186547

Issue Date: May 23, 2023

Applicant: The Board of Regents of the University of Texas System

This patent discusses the scope and claims of a novel approach to cancer treatment, involving the modulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance antitumor immunity. The patent aims to provide a comprehensive view of the claimed invention and its potential applications in the field of oncology.

Problem Statement: Current cancer treatments, including checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., PD-1/PD-L1 mAbs), face significant challenges in achieving durable and long-lasting antitumor responses. The TME plays a crucial role in preventing the efficiency of these treatments. As such, the development of novel approaches to modulate the TME and induce antitumor immunity is critical.

Key Components:

  1. IL-2 and PD-1 mAbs: The combination of IL-2 (Interleukin-2) and PD-1 (Programmed Death-1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is claimed to effectively modulate the TME. IL-2 promotes CD8+ T-cell activation and proliferation, while PD-1 blockade inhibits the regulatory T cells that suppress immune responses.
  2. Modulation of TME: The patent describes the manipulation of the TME to enhance antitumor immunity. This involves modulating the balance between effector and regulatory T cells to prevent immune suppression.
  3. Antitumor Immunity: The claimed invention aims to induce antitumor immunity by leveraging the ability of IL-2 to activate CD8+ T-cells and PD-1 mAbs to remove immune suppressive cells within the TME.

Claims: The patent includes several claims related to the use of IL-2 and PD-1 mAbs for inducing antitumor immunity. The specific claims involve:

  1. Use of IL-2 and/or PD-1 mAbs to modulate the TME in the presence or absence of cancer cells.
  2. Inducing antitumor immunity by modulating the TME and inhibiting the regulatory T cells within the TME.
  3. Using IL-2 and PD-1 mAbs to treat cancers classified as highly immunosuppressive.

Potential Impact: This invention has the potential to offer a novel approach to cancer treatment by modulating the TME to induce antitumor immunity. The combination of IL-2 and PD-1 mAbs may result in increased tumor control and improved outcomes for cancer patients with highly immunosuppressive tumors.

Patent Protection: The patent provides protection against the unauthorized use of the claimed invention, including the specific embodiment of using IL-2 and PD-1 mAbs to modulate the TME to induce antitumor immunity. The patent protection will last for a period of 20 years from the filing date.

Future directions: The potential impact of this invention may lead to the development of therapeutic combinations that address the challenges in current cancer treatment approaches. Further preclinical and clinical studies will be necessary to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the claimed invention in humans.
