- Ophthalmic inflammation is a common condition that causes discomfort, affects vision, and can lead to significant complications in the eye. Inflammation is associated with a variety of ailments including, but not limited to, conjunctivitis, uveitis, cyclitis, scleritis, episcleritis, neuritis, keratitis, blepharitis, corneal and/or conjunctival ulcer, infection, and also can result from deficient tear production, allergies, abrasions, and surgical operations.
- Ocular inflammation is also an important mechanism in many diseases which lead to loss of vision and blindness.
- An example of this process is corneal transplantation, which is well characterized and involves an immune mediated rejection process that is initiated at the moment of surgery and transplantation.
- Corneal transplantation is the most common form of solid organ transplant performed in the United States.
- patients with vascularized beds prior to transplantation have a dismal rate of success (10-30%).

- about 40,000 patients per year receive a corneal transplant for vision rehabilitation and of these 40,000, between about 4,000 and 6,000 are considered high risk. This number is likely and underestimate because many patients with high risk corneal beds are not considered surgical candidates due to the lack of effective treatments to prevent immune rejection.

- cyclophosphamide may be used to treat ophthalmic inflammation and corneal transplant rejection.
- Ocular inflammation is an important mechanism in many diseases which lead to loss of vision and blindness.
- An example of this process is corneal transplantation, which is well characterized involving an immune mediated rejection process which is initiated at the moment of surgery and transplantation.
- This model has enabled us to understand how enhancing the balance of T effector cells and Tregulatory cells can be regulated to control immune response in a positive manner minimizing ocular tissue damage.
- Corneal transplantation is the most common form of solid organ transplant performed in the United States. However, patients with vascularized beds prior to transplantation have a dismal rate of success (10-30%). In fact, in the US, 40,000 patients per year receive a corneal transplant for vision rehabilitation and of these 4,000 to 6,000 are considered high risk.

- cyclophosphamide given after bone marrow transplants (BMT), i.e. post-transplant Cy (PTCy) has shown very promising results in clinical allogeneic BMT patients. It has been demonstrated that deletion of allo-reactive T cells together with maintenance of Treg cells underlie the effectiveness of this strategy. In the present disclosure, it was assessed if PTCy would also be effective after solid tissue allografts, including high-risk corneal transplant.

- PTCy post-transplant cyclophosphamide
- FIGS. 5-6 Photographic and slit lamp analyses demonstrated markedly diminished overall number, size and location of vessels in PTCy treated CT recipients. Notably, within PTCy treated mice, long-term acceptors-but not rejectors-demonstrated minimal / no corneal neo-vascularization. In total, the findings illustrate that PTCy can effectively and significantly prolong CT.
- FIG. 10 shows CT#8-PTC#l0 Treg expansion in peripheral blood after PTC treatment following B6 corneal allografts in BALB/c recipients.
- TLlA-Ig+IL-2 induces Treg expansion following post-corneal transplant administration of PTCy.
- Recipient mice were injected with TL1 A-Ig +IL-2 as in FIG. 10. beginning D.10 post-CT. Mice were bled on D.16 and stained for CD4 and FoxP3.
- the techniques herein provide a method of use in which a strategy to limit / i.e. restrict the expansion of regulatory T cells (CD4 + FoxP3 + T cells) is implemented within the ocular compartment.
- regulatory T cells CD4 + FoxP3 + T cells
- periorbital delivery of these proteins results in dramatic and local Treg expansion within the ocular adnexa and draining cervical lymph nodes. In total, this enables the unique opportunity to develop and employ a combinatorial mechanism (Treg cells + PTCy) for the establishment of allograft tolerance to maintain permanent corneal graft survival.
- An experiment was performed in which the above strategy was used to expand Tregs after cyclophosphamide and although the final treatment with IL-2 was 16 days after transplant, the survival of the allograft was significantly prolonged as shown in FIGS. 11-12.
- the techniques herein further provide a strategy to expand Tregs by administering a“two pathway” strategy via local injection as shown in FIGS. 13-15.
- a“two pathway” strategy via local injection as shown in FIGS. 13-15.
- marked elevation of Treg cells in the conjunctiva was also observed when the strategy was employed systemically, Tregs were in fact elevated as well in the conjunctiva - however a one log greater level of TLlA-Ig fusion protein was employed as shown in FIG. 14.
- FIGS. 15-16 The dosing is being optimized, which has led to identification of a potent level to locally expand conjunctival Treg cells as shown in FIG. 17.
- the techniques herein provide that use of current anti-TNFRSF25 reagents - including evolving compounds following the use of cyclophosphamide or independently provides a powerful combinatorial strategy of deletion and expansion resulting in a balance of Teffector / Tregulatory cells which will promote long-term survival of corneal allografts as shown in FIG.
- deletion / expansion strategy developed herein can be employed to treat a number of ocular inflammatory disorders including dry eye, uveitis, scleritis and mucous membrane pemphigoid as well as posterior segment diseases.
- formulations are described as including components or materials, it is contemplated that the formulations can also consist essentially of, or consist of, any combination of the recited components or materials, unless described otherwise.
- methods are described as including particular steps, it is contemplated that the methods can also consist essentially of, or consist of, any combination of the recited steps, unless described otherwise.
