Antibody-Based Inhibition of CSF-1R as a Component of Combination Immunotherapy in Preclinical Models
The colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) signaling pathway promotes
tumor progression via the recruitment, differentiation, and survival of immuno-
suppressive, M2 polarized, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). FivePrime has
developed cabiralizumab (FPA008), an IgG4 antibody against CSF-1R that blocks the
ability of both CSF-1 and IL-34 to bind and activate this receptor, thereby modulating
the immune response to tumorigenesis. In order to investigate the impact of CSF-1R
signaling inhibition in preclinical models, we generated a surrogate antibody,
cmFPA008, that targets mouse CSF-1R and demonstrates equivalent affinity and
ligand-blocking ability as FPA008. Utilizing a combination of flow cytometry and
immunofluorescence analyses, we have identified alterations in the tumor
microenvironment that occur upon CSF-1R inhibition, including significant reduction of
immunosuppressive M2 TAMs and an increase in tumor PD-L1 expression.
Interestingly, we observe an increase in CD8+ T cell number and activation upon TAM
depletion, followed by a subsequent increase in putative monocytic (Cd11b+/Ly6G-
/Ly6C+) and granulocytic (CD11b+/Ly6G+/Ly6c+) MDSC populations. Moreover, we
have used murine syngeneic tumor models to examine the anti-tumor impact of CSF-
1R inhibition in combination with other immuno-oncology agents. Our results show that,
when added to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, cmFPA008 can significantly enhance anti-tumor
efficacy. We are currently exploring the effects of combining cmFPA008-induced TAM
depletion with additional immuno-oncology agents, including T cell agonists. Our
preclinical results demonstrate that inhibition of the CSF-1R pathway can combine with
various immuno-oncology agents with distinct mechanisms of action. FivePrime has
initiated a clinical trial in collaboration with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) to investigate
the use of cabiralizumab in combination with nivolumab (anti-PD-1, OPDIVO®) in six
different tumor types.
Abstract
Summary and Conclusions
• cmFPA008 significantly reduces MC38 tumor growth as monotherapy and when
administered in combination with anti-PD-1.
• Treatment with cmFPA008 results in depletion of immunosuppressive M2 tumor-
associated macrophages (TAMs) via apoptosis, as well as significant, but transient
changes in CD8+ T cells and putative MDSC populations.
• cmFPA008 monotherapy induces an increase in CD8+ T cells in MC38 primarily at
the tumor periphery where PD-L1 staining is the most intense.
• The anti-tumor activity of cmFPA008 in combination with anti-PD-1 in MC38
correlates with a significant depletion of M2 TAMs, increase in CD8+ T cells, and a
favorable CD8+/CD4+ T cell ratio compared to either therapeutic alone.

Anti-Cancer Mechanism of Action of cabiralizumab
© 2017 Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
• Cabiralizumab (FPA008) is a humanized IgG4 anti-CSF-1R that blocks binding of both CSF-1
and IL-34.
• Cabiralizumab inhibits survival of CSF-1R-dependent monocytes and macrophages.
• Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) facilitate tumor growth by immuno-suppression,
including direct and indirect inhibition of cytotoxic CD8 T cells.
• Cabiralizumab-mediated inhibition of CSF-1R is anticipated to impact TAM function and/or
viability, thereby reducing immuno-suppression and allowing anti-tumor T cell activation.
• Co-inhibition of CSF-1R and PD-1/PD-L1 signaling is hypothesized to potentiate an anti-tumor
immune response.

cmFPA008 Reduces Growth and M2 TAMs in the MC38 Model The Combination of cmFPA008 and anti-PD-1 Induces Potent Anti-Tumor Activity
• cmFPA008 is a surrogate mouse IgG1 antibody developed at Five Prime that binds to murine
CSF-1R with comparable affinity to cabiralizumab.
• MC38-bearing mice were administered a single dose of cmFPA008 at 20 mg/kg, and tumors were
analyzed via flow cytometry and immunofluorescence to examine changes in TILs.
• cmFPA008 significantly reduces MC38 tumor volume beginning on Study Day 18.
• Immunosuppressive M2 macrophages (TAMs; Cd11b+/Ly6G-/Ly6C-/F4/80+/Cd206+) are depleted
within 48 hours of cmFPA008 dosing, with near complete depletion 4 days after treatment.
• TAMs begin to repopulate the tumor microenvironment after Day 17, corresponding with
reduced cmFPA008 drug exposure.
• Statistical analysis was performed by 2-tailed t-test, (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
• cmFPA008 treatment induces an increase in tumor PD-L1 expression near the tumor periphery.
• The expression of PD-L1 in the tumor periphery is correlated with an increase in CD8+ T cells at
the tumor margin.
• cmFPA008 and anti-PD-1 together induce a greater reduction in MC38 tumor volume than either
therapeutic alone.
• We have shown previously that cmFPA008 and anti-PD-1 exert superior anti-tumor activity in
combination with gemcitabine in a preclinical model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(Bellovin, et. al., SITC Annual Meeting, 2015).
• Statistical analysis by one-way ANOVA (** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
• cmFPA008 significantly reduces the number of Cd11b+ myeloid cells within 2 days of dosing.
• Statistical analysis by 2-tailed t-test, (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001).
• Putative monocytic (Cd11b+/Ly6G+/Ly6C+) and granulocytic (CD11b+/Ly6G+/Ly6c+) MDSC
populations increase transiently following cmFPA008-induced reduction in M2 TAMs and return to
baseline by end of the study.
• Studies to assess whether a similar increase in other in vivo tumor models are ongoing.
• CD8+ T cells increase significantly but transiently, following cmFPA008 treatment.
• The combination of cmFPA008 and anti-PD-1 synergistically enhances the number of CD8+ T
cells in MC38 tumors as assessed by flow cytometry.
• Combination therapy results in a significant increase in the relative abundance of CD8+ versus
regulatory T cells (CD4+/CD25+) in MC38 tumors.
• Statistical analysis by one-way ANOVA (* p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001).
• Data is representative of multiple independent experiments.

• cmFPA008 treatment results in depletion of immunosuppressive M2 TAMs from MC38 tumors, as
shown by reduction in F4/80 immunofluorescence, with kinetics similar to those demonstrated via
flow cytometry.
• TAMs undergo apoptosis following cmFPA008 administration, as demonstrated by the presence of
activated caspase-3 staining in F4/80+ cells within tumors.
