One of the critical questions facing the field of transplantation is how to control effector T cell activation yet simultaneously preserve regulatory T cell (Treg) function. Thus, standard calcineurin inhibitor-based strategies can partially control effector T cells (Teffs), but breakthrough activation still occurs, and these agents are antagonistic to Treg function. Conversely, mTOR inhibition with sirolimus is more Treg-compatible, but is inadequate to fully control Teff activation. In contrast,, blockade of OX40L signaling has the capacity to partially control Teff activation despite maintaining Treg function. Here we have used the non-human primate (NHP) GVHD model to probe the efficacy of combinatorial immunomodulation with sirolimus and the OX40L-blocking antibody KY1005. Our results demonstrate significant biologic activity of KY1005 alone (prolonging median GVHD-free survival from 8 to 19.5 days), as well as striking, synergistic control of GVHD with KY1005 + sirolimus (median survival time >100 days, p< 0.01 compared to all other regimens), which was associated with potent control of both Th/Tc1 and Th/Tc17 activation. Combined administration also maintained Treg reconstitution (resulting in an enhanced Treg:Tcon ratio (40% over baseline) in the KY1005/Sirolimus cohort compared to a 2.9-fold decrease in the unprophylaxed GVHD cohort). This unique immunologic signature resulted in transplant recipients that were able to control GVHD for the length of analysis, and to down-regulate donor/recipient alloreactivity despite maintaining anti-third-party responses. These data indicate that combined OX40L blockade and sirolimus represents a promising strategy to induce immune balance after transplant, and is an important candidate regimen for clinical translation.
