CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/714,942, filed Aug. 6, 2018, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/880,742, filed Jul. 31, 2019, the entirety of each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to therapeutics having a standardized potency for the complete resolution of common warts and for the prevention of recurrence of common warts.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Common warts are infections of the skin caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).

The virus initially targets epidermal basal cells and induces hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis, which presents clinically as a wart. While not life threatening, common warts can cause both physical discomfort and embarrassment in patients.

It is estimated that common warts have an overall prevalence of 2 to 20% in the United States. However, current treatment options for common warts vary in their effectiveness and often result in recurrence. Treatments including topical salicylic acid, topical imiquimod, bleomycin injections, cryotherapy, excision, electrocautery, and laser vaporization are employed with various outcomes and side effects.

Immunotherapy using Candida albicans antigens has also been studied. However, a range of response levels were reported. See Aldahan A S et al., “Efficacy of intralesional immunotherapy for the treatment of warts: A review of the literature,” Dermatologic Therapy 2016; 29:197-207, Table 1; and Alikhan A et al., “Use of Candida antigen injections for the treatment of verruca vulgaris: A two-year mayo clinic experience,” Journal of Dermatological Treatment 2016; 27(4): 355-58, 355, Table 2. The inconsistent results may be due to the use of different sources of Candida antigen in these studies, having apparently different concentrations and potencies. For example, two studies utilized Candida antigens obtained from Hollister-Stier (Alikan et al. at 355 and Perman M et al., “The painful purple digit: an alarming complication of Candida albicans antigen treatment of recalcitrant warts,” Dermatitis: Contact, Atopic, Occupational, Drug 2005; 16(1):38-40, cited in Aldahan et al.), another study utilized Candida antigens obtained from Bayer (Johnson et al., “Intralesional injection of mumps or candida skin test antigens: a novel immunotherapy for warts,” Arch Dematol. 2001; 137:451-55, cited in Aldahan et al. and Alikhan et al.), yet another study utilized Candida antigens obtained from Creative Drug Industries (Majid I and Imran S, “Immunotherapy with Intralesional Candida Albicans Antigen in Resistant or Recurrent Warts: A Study,” Indian Journal of Dermatology 2013: 58(5): 360-65, cited in Aldahan et al. and Alikhan et al.), while other studies utilized Candin® manufactured by Allermed Laboratories (Kim K H et al., “Phase 1 clinical trial of intralesional injection of Candida antigen for the treatment of warts,” Arch Dematol 2010, 146(12):1431-33; Pfenninger J L and Fowler G C, “Procedures for Primary Care,” Third Edition, Elsevier 2010, 639-43; Signor R J, “Candida albicans Intralesional Injection Immunotherapy of Warts,” Cutis 2002; 70:185-92, cited in Alikhan et al.; Phillips R C et al., “Treatment of Warts with Candida Antigen Injection,” Arch Dematol 2001, 136(10):1274-5); Wong A and Crawford R I, “Intralesional Candida antigen for common warts in people with HIV,” J Cutan Med Surg. 2013; 17(5): 313-15, cited in Aldahan et al. Some studies also do not report their sources of Candida antigens. See Summers P et al., “Treatment of recalcitrant verruca vulgaris with Candida antigen in patient with human immunodeficiency virus,” J Drugs Dermatol 2009; 8(3): 268-69, cited in Aldahan et al.; “Warts Refractory to Conventional Therapy Yield to Candida Antigen,” American Academy of Family Practice 90 Clinical Perspectives 1990; Harada S, “Clinical Application of Fungus Extracts and its Culture filtrate in the Treatment of Skin Diseases: (3) Candida Vaccine in the Treatment of Warts,” Japanese Journal of Dermatology 1979; 89(6), 397-402.

In view of the various sources being studied, the dosages reported by volumes and weight by volume (v/w) dilutions therefore do not provide sufficient information to physicians to achieve consistent cure rates of warts. At best, U.S. Pat. No. 6,350,451 to Horn provides dosing of antigens based on initial delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses. See '451 Patent at Example. Therefore, Candida antigen compositions having standardized potencies for treatment of warts are desired.

B. Test for Relative Potency

A unit of potency in accordance with the present disclosure is defined by a relative potency (RP) compared to a reference standard Candida albicans extract. A compound determined to have a relative potency of 1 compared to the standard is assigned to have a potency of 1 unit per mL. Relative potency is determined in a female IAF Hairless guinea pig (Crl:HA-HO) model, compared to a standard Candida albicans extract that is capable of eliciting an induration response ≥5 mm in an immunologically competent person at 48 hours after a 0.1 mL injection. In an aspect, a reference standard is established by skin test titration in humans with delayed-type hypersensitivity to Candida albicans.

Female IAF Hairless guinea pigs are selected to be as uniform in age and weight as possible. In an aspect, twenty or less female IAF Hairless guinea pigs can be used in a study. They are generally 4-6 months of age, and their body weights at treatment commencement will range from approximately 0.6-0.8 kilograms. All study animals are acclimatized to their designated housing at least 14 days prior to the first day of use.

At week 0, all study animals are sensitized with a 1:1 mixture of Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) mixed with an antigen solution. In an aspect, an antigen solution is a 10-fold dilution of the standard Candida albicans extract using unpreserved saline. In another aspect, an antigen solution can be a 100-fold dilution of the standard Candida albicans extract using unpreserved saline. In an aspect, Adjulite CFA (Pacific Immunology) or any other commercially available CFA can be used in this assay. Animals are injected using a needle with a maximum of 4 subcutaneous injections of 0.1 ml, or 0.4 ml total, of the prepared mixture. In an aspect, a needle can be a 21 g needle, a 22 g needle, or a 23 g needle. These injections may be given in the cervical region (either the nape or over the shoulders), the gluteal (maximum of two injections in each location, one on each side), and/or the inguinal areas (a maximum of 0.1 ml may be given in each inguinal area). Any one injection regimen containing CFA can be applied to each guinea pig in the study.

At week 4±1 week, four serial dilutions of each test sample and the standard are prepared independently with phenolated normal saline. For example, a set of serial dilutions can be prepared at 1:1, 1:4, 1:16, and 1:64. Animals are sedated for intradermal injection to ensure proper placement. Injections are given at a volume of 0.1 mL using a 27 g intradermal bevel needle on the backs of the sensitized guinea pigs. Injection locations are separated by at least 3 cm apart on a grid on the back of the guinea pigs. For example, four “tracks” can be outlined on the back of a guinea pig to for injections of a standard (Track 1) and three test samples (Tracks 2-4). Each of the “tracks” can be arranged such that the dilutions increase from the last diluted (positioned cranially), to the most diluted (positioned caudally), with all “tracks” being parallel to the spine. See FIG. 5 for an illustration of an example of a track grid on the back of a guinea pig.

At 24 hours ±4 hours following injections, animals are restrained by hand, and indurations are marked and measured using a modified Mantoux procedure: With a ruler, the longest possible diameter (in mm) and its midpoint orthogonal diameter (in mm) of the indurated area are recorded. The reaction (response) at each test site is determined by averaging the longest and orthogonal axis measurements. Alternatively, a calibrated caliper may be used.

Optionally, the above measurements can be repeated at 48 hours ±4 hours.

In an aspect, for each guinea pig, responses of Tracks 2, 3 and 4 vs Track 1 are plotted against their corresponding dilution and analyzed using the parallel line method: First, Track 2 and Track 1 response data against log(dilution) are plotted on the same graph, and the linearity of the responses in each track's data is tested, followed by the test for parallelism of the two lines. If the two lines are parallel, then RP2 is calculated using the equation Log(RP2)=(α2−α1)β, where α2 is the Y-intercept of Track 2, α1 is the Y-intercept of Track 1, and β is the common slope of the plotted lines. The same calculation is repeated for Tracks 3 and 4 vs Track 1 to obtain RP3 and RP4, respectively, using the same equation above with α2 replaced with either α3 or α4.

In an aspect, for each guinea pig, responses of Tracks 2, 3 and 4 vs Track 1 are plotted against their corresponding dilution and analyzed using the slope-ratio method: First, Track 2 and Track 1 response data against dilution are plotted on the same graph, the linearity of the responses in each track's data is tested with the regression model E(Y)=α+βD, where α denotes a common intercept Y-intercept shared by the two plots, βt denotes the slope of the test line (e.g. Track 2), and βr denotes the slope of the reference line (e.g. Track 1). Two validity criteria must be met before using the slop-ratio method of analysis: (1) the slopes of the two tracks are significantly different from zero at α-level of 0.05; and (2) the intercept of the test line and that of the reference line are statistically equal, which means that the 90% confidence interval for the difference in the intercepts contains 0. If the above criteria are met, an estimate of relative potency, RP2, is calculated as RP2=estimate of (βt)/estimate of (βr). The same calculation is repeated for Tracks 3 and 4 vs Track 1 to obtain RP3 and RP4, respectively, using the same equation above with α2 replaced with either α3 or α4.

After RP2, RP3, and RP4 are obtained, these are plotted against the RP of Track 1. A regression analysis is performed to obtain the coefficient of determination denoted by R2. The R2 is targeted to be ≥0.85. Each of RP2, RP3, and RP4 are the relative potencies of the respective sample in that track.

A relative potency of 1 denotes that a test sample has the same potency as the reference standard.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Production of a Composition Comprising a Sterile Filtrate of Candida Albicans and Secreted Antigens

First, a pre-production culture is prepared from an oil-covered stock culture by aseptically removing one loopful of the stock culture of each two strains of Candida albicans (ATCC Accession Nos. PTA-126019 and PTA-126020) and placing it in Animal Free Trypticase Soy Broth (ATSB; TechNova, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia). This pre-production culture is incubated at 20-25° C. until a growth pellet is observed at the bottom of the tube, usually within 7 to 14 days. After evidence of fungal growth (e.g. milky yeast-like growth on the bottom of the tube) is observed, a portion of the growth is transferred to a plate of Animal Free Trypticase Soy Agar (ATSA; TechNova, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia) and is incubated at 20-25° C. for 3 to 7 days. The growth from the ATSA plate is subcultured to a fresh ATSA plate and the plate is streaked to produce isolated colonies. The ATSA plate is incubated at 20-25° C. for 3 to 7 days.

From the ATSA plate, several isolated colonies with characteristic morphology (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show characteristic morphologies of isolated colonies of a first strain and a second strain, respectively) are transferred to an Erlenmeyer flask containing Chemically Defined Candida Medium (CDCM; TechNova, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia). CDCM consists of 3.6 g/L KH2PO4, 1.2 g/L Na2HPO4, 8.0g/L (NH4)2SO4, 0.2 g/L MgSO4.7H2O, 0.01 g/L ZnSO4.7H2O, 8.0 g/L sucrose, and 0.01 g/L biotin. The Erlenmeyer flask is incubated 3-7 days on a shaker set at approximately 60 rpm at a temperature of 20-25° C. Referring to FIG. 1, an isolated colony of a first strain deposited as ATCC Accession No. PTA-126019 appears as pasty cream colored with smooth entire margins. Referring to FIG. 2, an isolated colony of a second strain deposited as ATCC Accession No. PTA-126020 appears as white cream-colored having a somewhat rough surface and irregular margins.

When the inoculum shows budding yeast pseudohyphae (see FIG. 3 for an illustration of budding yeast cells of Candida albicans and FIG. 4 for pseudohyphae of Candida albicans) and if it is free of bacteria, each of the stock is transferred to separate production flasks containing CDCM at a dilution of approximately 1:100. For example, approximately 1.0 mL of each of the stock is transferred to separate production flasks containing 100 mL CDCM; or approximately 10 mL of each of the stock is transferred to separate production flasks containing 1000 mL CDCM. The production flasks are incubated at 20-25° C. for 7 days on a shaker, set at 60 rotations or oscillations per minute.

Upon completion of incubation, 1.0 mL of 1% phenol is added to each production flasks. The flasks are stored at 20-25° C. for 7 days for the fungus to be killed. The contents of all production flasks containing acceptable growth and no contamination are then pooled in a sterile glass bottle. The pooled material is cultured by adding 1.0 mL to each of three 40 mL tubes of Trypticase Soy Broth (TSB; TechNova, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia). Each TSB culture is further diluted 10-fold in TSB and is incubated at 20-25° C. for 7 days to ensure non-viability. During the culturing period, the poled production material is stored in a holding bottle at 20-25° C. for 7 days.

Dialyze the pooled culture in USP grade Water for Injection (WFI; TechNova, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia) at 1-8° C. using Spectrapor 6,000-8,000 MWCO dialysis tubing (size 40 mm). Dialyze with a 20-fold volume of WFI and repeat the procedure twice at 24-hour intervals. The dialyzed material is then heated uniformly for 60 minutes at 90-95° C. in a water bath.

200 mL of the heat treated dialyzed material is added to a 600 mL lyophilization flask and freeze dried in a Labconco lyophilizer. This procedure is repeated until the entire lot has been lyophilized. Lyophyilized material is then covered with petroleum ether at 20-25° C. for 6 to 8 hours with the supernatant being discarded via filtration. The resulting material is air dried in a fume hood. This is the dry powder denoted as the source material for further processing.

Dilute the source material with Coca's Glycerol Solution (0.25% NaCl, 0.125% NaHCO3, 53% glycerin; 47% WFI) having a pH in the range of 6 to 8.5 at a desired weight by volume extraction ratio. In an aspect, a volume extraction ratio is 1:20 w/v, where 20 mL of Coca's Glycerol Solution is added to per gram of source material. This extract is mixed intermittently for approximately 71 hours on a magnetic stirrer at 1-8° C. until the source material appears homogenous throughout the mixture.

The extract is then centrifuged at approximately 4000 RPMs for 20 minutes. After that, the extract is filtered by vacuum filtration with a Buchner funnel and Whatman No. 3 filter paper. Adjust the filtered extract to have a final concentration of 0.4% phenol and return it to 1-8° C. A sterile Sartorius 0.2 μm filter capsule (#5231307H) and filter the product under a class 100 laminar flow hood in a class 100,000 room.

In a sterile filtration room, use a sterile Sartorius “Sartobran” 0.45/0.2 μm [5235307H7OOA (0.05 m2) or 5231307H5OOB (0.03m2)] to sterilize the product. Collect the filtered solution to an appropriately sized, sterile depyrogenated container, and store the filtered solution at 1-8° C. Finally, 1.7 mL of this master lot filtered solution is diluted with 998.3 mL of a diluent, which consists of 5.0 g/L NaCl, 2.5 g/L NaHCO3, 4.5 mL/L phenol, 1.2 mL/L 20% solution human serum albumin, 0.8 mL/L polysorbate 80.

Example 2 Intralesional Injection to a Wart

An intralesional injection of a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure to a wart is provided beneath the common wart at the region of the interdigitated base of the wart. FIG. 6 illustrates the preferred location of the intralesional injection. Preferably, a blanching of the treated wart is observed upon injection. Without being limited to theory, the injection is performed slowly to help the injected pharmaceutical composition to spread along the dermal epidermal junction. Most injections are performed with the bevel down. However, for particularly thick warts, the injection may be performed with the bevel of the needle aiming upwards. For particularly thin warts, the injection may be performed with the bevel of the needle aiming sideways. After the injection, moderate pressure is applied to the injected wart.

In some instances, a dose of a pharmaceutical composition can be injected via multiple injections at the interdigitated base of the wart.

Example 3 Treatment by Injections to a Single Wart

To treat a patient diagnosed with a common wart, intralesional injections of a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure at a dose of 0.5 unit of potency are provided to the largest common wart every second week (14±2 days) for a maximum of 10 injections. If the primary common wart exhibits a complete response, the second largest injectable common wart of all anatomical regions is injected with the same pharmaceutical composition at the same dose of 0.5 unit of potency. If an injected wart recurs after exhibiting a complete response, it is re-injected instead of the non-primary injected wart that was injected at the previous visit. This injection strategy is repeated for a maximum of 10 injections or until all injectable common warts exhibit a complete response, if it occurs before all 10 injections are used.

The above treatment is effective for completely resolving 85% of all primary injected warts at any number of injections, compared to 52% of those injected with a placebo. Moreover, 75% of all warts mapped at baseline in subjects injected with a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure were completely resolved, compared to 34% of those injected with a placebo. The median number of injections required to completely resolve a primary injected wart is 5 injections, compared to 10 injections of the placebo. Furthermore, at 4 months following the last injection, 50% of primary injected warts remain completely resolved, compared to 31% of those injected with a placebo.

The above treatment is also effective for resolving all common warts in 53% of the 52 subjects treated, compared to 21% of subjects receiving placebo. In patients also diagnosed with non-common warts, 75% showed resolution of non-common warts as compared to 57% receiving placebo.

Moreover, the above treatment is capable of resolving a primary injected wart previously treated with cryotherapy at a rate of 47% compared to 21% by the placebo.

10% of the subjects receiving treatment exhibited scarring at the site of a resolved wart comparing to 6% of the subjects receiving placebo. 3% of the subjects receiving treatment exhibited hypopigmentation at the site of a resolved wart comparing to 0% of the subjects receiving placebo.

Example 4 Treatment by Injections to Multiple Warts

To treat a patient diagnosed with common warts in at least 2 different anatomic regions, a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is injected in the largest wart (primary) per anatomical region, for a minimum of two and a maximum of four injections of 0.3 unit of potency each per visit every second week (14±2 days) for a maximum of 10 visits with injections. No more than one wart per anatomical region is injected on any given visit. If any primary injected wart exhibits a complete response, the next largest injectable common wart is injected with the same pharmaceutical composition at the same dose of 0.3 unit of potency per injection (maximum of 4 injections per visit) providing the new injectable wart is not within the same anatomical region as other currently injected warts. If an injected wart recurs after exhibiting a complete response, it is re-injected instead of the non-primary injected wart that was injected at the previous visit. This injection strategy is repeated for a maximum total of 10 injection visits per subject or until all injectable common warts exhibit a complete response, if it occurs before the end of the 10 injection visits.

The above treatment is effective for completely resolving 82% of the largest primary injected warts at any number of injections, compared to 52% of those injected with a placebo. The median number of injections required to completely resolve the largest primary injected wart is 4 injections, compared to 10 injections of the placebo. Furthermore, at 4 months following the last injection, 43% of the largest primary injected warts remain completely resolved, compared to 31% of those injected with a placebo.

7% of the subjects receiving treatment exhibited scarring at the site of a resolved wart comparing to 6% of the subjects receiving placebo. 3% of the subjects receiving treatment exhibited hypopigmentation at the site of a resolved wart comparing to 0% of the subjects receiving placebo.

Example 5 Cytokine Biomarker Changes in Wart Patients

To evaluate biomarker changes in wart patients, intralesional injections are provided to a total of 58 subjects. A pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is provided intralesionally to each of 43 subjects in the largest (primary) wart every two weeks at a dose of 0.3 potency each injection for a maximum of 10 injections. On the other hand, a placebo is provided intralesionally to each of 15 subjects in the primary wart every two weeks for a maximum of 10 injections.

If the primary wart exhibited a complete response, the next largest wart is treated using the same dose. This strategy is repeated until all warts are resolved or for 10 injections, whichever was reached first. If an injected wart recurred after exhibiting a complete response, it is retreated instead of the wart injected in the previous visit.

Blood samples are collected at screening prior to initiation of treatment (V1); after treatment injections and immediately prior to the third injection (V5); and study completion, i.e., upon resolution of all warts or 10 injections (V13). Plasma separated from the blood is stored at −80° C. until assayed for multiple protein biomarkers (45-plex cytokine/chemokine/growth factor panel) by BioAgilytix (Durham, N.C.).

Individual sample results are checked to fall within the range of valid standards. Results falling outside the valid range are excluded.

Table 1 presents summary statistics for the treatment and placebo groups in a study monitoring levels of IL-23, IL-7, and IP-10. Only p-values less than 0.05 are included in the table.

TABLE 1 Summary Statistics of Cytokine Biomarker Changes REATMENT GROUP PLACEBO GROUP CYTOKINE Visit N Mean SE Visit N Mean SE p-value IL-23 1 36 119.93 12.17 1 13 113.78 34.55 5 34 97.60 12.52 5 11 173.30 37.56 0.026 13 32 107.05 12.91 13 13 149.26 34.55 IL-7 1 16 1.39 0.14 1 7 1.68 0.48 5 23 1.22 0.11 5 7 1.98 0.48 0.047 13 20 1.06 0.12 13 8 2.04 0.45 0.004 IP-10 1 41 37.53 2.15 1 15 36.14 2.13 5 38 41.11 2.24 5 14 35.66 2.21 13 38 35.11 2.24 13 13 38.31 2.29

In this study, when comparing the treatment and placebo groups, the biomarker concentrations tended to be higher in the placebo group relative to the treatment group at all visits, including at visit 1 when blood samples were taken prior to any injections. The p-values for the comparison of mean concentrations at each visit is reported if the difference was considered significant (p<0.05). In each case, the mean concentrations for the placebo group was greater than for the treatment group.

Furthermore, in this study, the change in biomarker levels with respect to baseline levels (V13-V1) were compared between the treatment groups. In general, relative decreases in biomarker levels were observed in the actively treated groups as compared to the placebo group. Three biomarkers (IL7, IP-10, and IL-23) showed statistically significant decreases after treatment when compared to the placebo group. FIGS. 7A, 7B, and 7C, illustrate comparison of changes in biomarker levels of IL-7, IP-10, and IL-23, respectively, using ANOVA one way analysis. A denotes treatment group, P denotes placebo group; change in biomarker levels are reported in terms of pg/mL.

The actively treated group is subdivided into those who showed complete resolution of all treated warts and those who showed less than 50% complete resolution. Comparison of mean changes after treatment between these two subgroups reveals a significant difference for the cytokine IL-23. The change noted in the high responder subgroup corresponds to a 35% decrease from baseline values, while the low responder subgroup exhibits a 5% decrease. In comparison, the placebo group on average exhibits a 35% increase in IL-23 concentration.

Example 6 Treatment by Injections to a Single Wart

To treat a patient between 12 to 65 year old with between 3 and 20 common warts, intralesional injections of a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure at a dose of 0.3 unit of potency are provided to the largest common wart every second week (14±2 days) for a maximum of 6 injections. If the primary common wart exhibits a complete response, the second largest injectable common wart of all anatomical regions is injected with the same pharmaceutical composition at the same dose of 0.3 unit of potency. If an injected wart recurs after exhibiting a complete response, it is re-injected instead of the non-primary injected wart that was injected at the previous visit. This injection strategy is repeated for a maximum of 6 injections or until all injectable common warts exhibit a complete response, if it occurs before all 6 injections are used. Complete resolution of the primary injected wart is determined one month after the last injection.

The above treatment is effective for completely resolving 66% of all primary injected warts at any number of injections, compared to 37% of those injected with a placebo. The median number of injections required to completely resolve a primary injected wart is 5 injections, compared to 10 injections of the placebo. Furthermore, at 4 months following the last injection, 46% of primary injected warts remain completely resolved, compared to 37% of those injected with a placebo.

The above treatment is also effective for resolving all common warts in 32% of the 61 subjects treated, compared to 21% of subjects receiving placebo.
