Opportunities for: A Promising
Treatment for Inflammatory Arthritis
Targeting the Pre-ligand Assembly
Domain (PLAD) of Tumor Necrosis
Factor Receptors; Michael J. Lenardo
et al. (NIAID)

Technology Summary
The technology is an innovative
treatment for inflammatory arthritis that
involves modulating Tumor Necrosis
Factor Receptor (TNFR) 1 signaling. NIH
scientists have discovered that the Preligand Assembly Domains (PLADs) of
TNFR1 can be selectively blocked by
soluble P60-PLAD protein compositions
(P60 PLAD-Sol) which interfere with
TNFR1 assembly thereby preventing the
inflammatory effects of TNFa both in
vitro and in vivo.

Technology Description
Current anti-TNFa arthritis treatments
rely on the use of antibodies or fusion
proteins directed against TNFa to
reduce inflammation. The cytokine
TNFa plays a key role in the
pathogenesis of numerous autoimmune
and inflammatory diseases including
psoriatic, rheumatoid, and septic
arthritis. It has been shown that
blocking TNFa has a dramatic
therapeutic effect; however, blocking
TNFa also blocks TNFa’s beneficial
effects during immune responses that
are mediated through TNFR2.
This invention involves a functional
domain, which is essential for signaling
involving receptors of the TNFR
superfamily including TNFR–1 (p60),
TNFR–2 (p80), FAS, TRAIL-R, LTR,
CD40, CD30, CD27, HVEM, OX40 and
DR4. PLADs can be isolated as
functional polypeptides which can be
useful in inhibiting the first step in
TNFR mediated signaling, ligandindependent assembly of members of
the TNFR superfamily. The ability to
inhibit TNFR signaling suggests that
these PLAD polypeptides may be useful
in developing new therapeutic
molecules or as therapeutic molecules
themselves.
P60 PLAD-Sol has the benefit of
selectively blocking only the signaling

of TNFR1, not signaling mediated
through TNFR2. Treatment of mice with
the P60 PLAD-Sol ameliorated
inflammatory joint disease with no side
effects in 5 different animal models of
arthritis including: collagen-induced
arthritis, adjuvant and
lipopolysaccharide induced arthritis,
and joint disease due to TNF. Therefore,
P60 PLAD-Sol may lead to novel
inflammatory arthritis treatments that
avoid the serious side effects associated
with currently marketed therapeutics
that directly block TNFa rather than
TNFR1.
Competitive Advantage of Our
Technology
More than 20% of the population in
the USA currently seek arthritis
treatment; of these over 2 million suffer
rheumatic symptoms. Worldwide this
figure is close to five million people.
Existing commercially available antiTNFa treatments are expensive: in the
U.S. Enbrel, Remicade, and
Humira all cost more than $10,000 per
year. In addition to this market there is
the potential to treat other inflammatory
based diseases such as Crohn’s Disease
and Multiple Sclerosis. Owing to the
high price of these agents and their
increased use in treatment, the market
for TNFa inhibitors is expected to grow
from $7.1 billion in 2005 to nearly $12
billion in 2014 in the United States,
Western Europe, and Japan.
The existing TNF blockers, e.g.,
Enbrel (Etanercept—a dimeric fusion
protein by Amgen/Wyeth), Remicade
(Infliximab—a mouse chimeric anti-TNF
monoclonal antibody by J&J), and
Humira (Adalimumab—a humanized
anti-TNF monoclonal antibody by
Abbott) have been effective in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. They
are beneficial in over 70% of patients
including many who have not
responded to Rheumatrex
(Methotrexate—an antimetabolite by
STADA); however, serious and
sometimes fatal side effects have been
observed. In addition, the current costs
of these drugs are prohibitive for many
patients. This technology has the
potential to be less expensive yet more
effective than existing products.
For arthritis sufferers who are
unresponsive to, or adversely affected
by, current inflammatory arthritis
treatments our technology is a new
method of blocking inflammation that
provides a more targeted action. Unlike
the currently marketed anti-TNF
medications, P60 PLAD-Sol has the
potential to more effectively treat a
broader range of inflammatory diseases
with no known side-effects. The current
anti-TNF drugs directly block the
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
59801
binding of TNFa to both TNFR1 and
TNFR2. There is evidence that this
inhibits the beneficial effects mediated
by TNFR2, while arresting the diseasecausing effects of TNFR1. This is
because the P60 PLAD-Sol involves the
use of small soluble proteins that
preferentially target only the PLAD of
TNFR1. In our models, a dose of a P60
PLAD-Sol (5 mg/kg) had similar effects
to doses of Infliximab (10 mg/kg) and
Etanercept (0.4 mg/kg) that have been
used clinically in the amelioration of
arthritis. As a selective TNFR1 blocking
agent, this technology may avoid the
serious side effects of these currently
available compounds yet have enhanced
efficacy.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Mandatory Guidelines were developed
in accordance with Executive Order
12564 and section 503 of Public Law
100–71. Subpart C of the Mandatory
Guidelines, ‘‘Certification of
Laboratories Engaged in Urine Drug
Testing for Federal Agencies,’’ sets strict
standards that laboratories must meet in
order to conduct drug and specimen
validity tests on urine specimens for
Federal agencies. To become certified,
an applicant laboratory must undergo
three rounds of performance testing plus
an on-site inspection. To maintain that
certification, a laboratory must
participate in a quarterly performance
testing program plus undergo periodic,
on-site inspections.
Laboratories which claim to be in the
applicant stage of certification are not to
be considered as meeting the minimum
requirements described in the HHS
Mandatory Guidelines. A laboratory
must have its letter of certification from
HHS/SAMHSA (formerly: HHS/NIDA)
which attests that it has met minimum
standards.
In accordance with Subpart C of the
Mandatory Guidelines dated April 13,
2004 (69 FR 19644), the following
laboratories meet the minimum
standards to conduct drug and specimen
validity tests on urine specimens:

(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory
Accreditation Program for Substance

Laboratories certified through that
program were accredited to conduct
forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the
certification of those accredited
Canadian laboratories will continue
under DOT authority. The responsibility
for conducting quarterly performance
testing plus periodic on-site inspections
of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories
was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with
the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance
testing and laboratory inspection
processes. Other Canadian laboratories
wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP
contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to
be qualified, HHS will recommend that
DOT certify the laboratory (Federal
Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the
minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal
Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR
19644). After receiving DOT
certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in
the NLCP certification maintenance
program.

* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted to end its Laboratory
Accreditation Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12,
1998. Laboratories certified through that program were accredited to
conduct forensic urine drug testing as required by U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification of
those accredited Canadian laboratories will continue under DOT
authority. The responsibility for conducting quarterly performance
testing plus periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSA-accredited
laboratories was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with the HHS' NLCP
contractor continuing to have an active role in the performance testing
and laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian laboratories
wishing to be considered for the NLCP may apply directly to the NLCP
contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be qualified, HHS will
recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16,
1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory Guidelines
published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644).
After receiving DOT certification, the laboratory will be included in
the monthly list of HHS-certified laboratories and participate in the
NLCP certification maintenance program.
Dated: October 4, 2006.
