The present disclosure relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising a Bcl-xL inhibitor and an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds an antigen target, e.g., an antigen expressed on a tumor or other cancer cell. The disclosure further relates to methods and compositions useful in the treatment and/or diagnosis of cancers that express a target antigen and/or are amenable to treatment by modulating Bcl-xL expression and/or activity, as well as methods of making those compositions. Linker-drug conjugates comprising an Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety and methods of making same are also disclosed.
Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is an evolutionarily conserved pathway essential for tissue homeostasis, development and removal of damaged cells. Deregulation of apoptosis contributes to human diseases, including malignancies, neurodegenerative disorders, diseases of the immune system and autoimmune diseases (Hanahan and Weinberg, Cell. 2011 Mar. 4; 144(5):646-74; Marsden and Strasser, Annu Rev Immunol. 2003; 21:71-105; Vaux and Flavell, Curr Opin Immunol. 2000 December; 12(6):719-24). Evasion of apoptosis is recognized as a hallmark of cancer, participating in the development as well as the sustained expansion of tumors and the resistance to anti-cancer treatments (Hanahan and Weinberg, Cell. 2000 Jan. 7; 100(1):57-70).
The Bcl-2 protein family comprises key regulators of cell survival which can suppress (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1) or promote (e.g., Bad, Bax) apoptosis (Gross et al., Genes Dev. 1999 Aug. 1; 13(15):1899-911, Youle and Strasser, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2008 January; 9(1):47-59).
In the face of stress stimuli, whether a cell survives or undergoes apoptosis is dependent on the extent of pairing between the Bcl-2 family members that promote cell death with family members that promote cell survival. For the most part, these interactions involve the docking of the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain of proapoptotic family members into a groove on the surface of pro-survival members. The presence of Bcl-2 homology (BH) domain defines the membership of the Bcl-2 family, which is divided into three main groups depending upon the particular BH domains present within the protein. The prosurvival members such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1 contain BH domains 1-4, whereas Bax and Bak, the proapoptotic effectors of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization during apoptosis, contain BH domains 1-3 (Youle and Strasser, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2008 January; 9(1):47-59).
Overexpression of the prosurvival members of the Bcl-2 family is a hallmark of cancer and it has been shown that these proteins play an important role in tumor development, maintenance and resistance to anticancer therapy (Czabotar et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2014 January; 15(1):49-63). Bcl-xL (also named BCL2L1, from BCL2-like 1) is frequently amplified in cancer (Beroukhim et al., Nature 2010 Feb. 18; 463(7283):899-905) and it has been shown that its expression inversely correlates with sensitivity to more than 120 anti-cancer therapeutic molecules in a representative panel of cancer cell lines (NCI-60) (Amundson et al., Cancer Res. 2000 Nov. 1; 60(21):6101-10).
In addition, several studies using transgenic knockout mouse models and transgenic overexpression of Bcl-2 family members highlighted the importance of these proteins in the diseases of the immune system and autoimmune diseases (for a review, see Merino et al., Apoptosis 2009 April; 14(4):570-83. doi: 10.1007/s10495-008-0308-4.PMID: 19172396). Transgenic overexpression of Bcl-xL within the T-cell compartment resulted in resistance to apoptosis induced by glucocorticoid, g-radiation and CD3 crosslinking, suggesting that transgenic Bcl-xL overexpression can reduce apoptosis in resting and activated T-cells (Droin et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 2004 Mar. 1; 1644 (2-3):179-88. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2003.10.011.PMID: 14996502). In patient samples, persistent or high expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins has been observed (Pope et al., Nat Rev Immunol. 2002 July; 2(7):527-35. doi: 10.1038/nri846.PMID: 12094227). In particular, T-cells isolated from the joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients exhibited increased Bcl-xL expression and were resistant to spontaneous apoptosis (Salmon et al., J Clin Invest. 1997 Feb. 1; 99(3):439-46. doi: 10.1172/JC1119178.PMID: 9022077).
The findings indicated above motivated the discovery and development of a new class of drugs named BH3 mimetics. These molecules are able to disrupt the interaction between the proapoptotic and antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family and are potent inducers of apoptosis. This new class of drugs includes inhibitors of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w and Mcl-1. The first BH3 mimetics described were ABT-737 and ABT-263, targeting Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w (Park et al., J. Med. Chem. 2008 Nov. 13; 51(21):6902-15; Roberts et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2012 Feb. 10; 30(5):488-96). After that, selective inhibitors of Bcl-2 (ABT-199 and S55746-Souers et al., Nat Med. 2013 February; 19(2):202-8; Casara et al., Oncotarget 2018 Apr. 13; 9(28):20075-20088), Bcl-xL (A-1155463 and A-1331852-Tao et al., ACS Med Chem Lett. 2014 Aug. 26; 5(10):1088-93; Leverson et al., Sci Trans/Med. 2015 Mar. 18; 7(279):279ra40) and Mcl-1 (A-1210477, S63845, S64315, AMG-176 and AZD-5991-Leverson et al., Cell Death Dis. 2015 Jan. 15; 6:e1590.; Kotschy et al., Nature 2016, 538, 477-482; Maragno et al., AACR 2019, Poster #4482; Kotschy et al., WO 2015/097123; Caenepeel et al., Cancer Discov. 2018 December; 8(12):1582-1597; Tron et al., Nat. Commun. 2018 Dec. 17; 9(1):5341) were also discovered. The selective Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-199 is now approved for the treatment of patients with CLL and AML in combination therapy, while the other inhibitors are still under pre-clinical or clinical development. In pre-clinical models, ABT-263 has shown activity in several hematological malignancies and solid tumors (Shoemaker et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2008 Jun. 1; 14(11):3268-77; Ackler et al., Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 2010 October; 66(5):869-80; Chen et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2011 December; 10(12):2340-9). In clinical studies, ABT-263 exhibited objective antitumor activity in lymphoid malignancies (Wilson et al., Lancet Oncol. 2010 December; 11(12):1149-59; Roberts et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2012 Feb. 10; 30(5):488-96) and its activity is being investigated in combination with several therapies in solid tumors. The selective Bcl-xL inhibitors, A-1155463 or A-1331852, exhibited in vivo activity in pre-clinical models of T-ALL (T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) and different types of solid tumors (Tao et al., ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2014 Aug. 26; 5(10):1088-93; Leverson et al., Sci. Transl. Med. 2015 Mar. 18; 7(279):279ra40). The use of BH3 mimetics has also shown benefit in pre-clinical models of diseases of the immune system and autoimmune diseases. Treatment with ABT-737 (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bcl-w inhibitor) resulted in potent inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Importantly, mice treated with ABT-737 in animal models of arthritis and lupus showed a significant decrease in disease severity (Bardwell et al., J Clin Invest. 1997 Feb. 1; 99(3):439-46. doi: 10.1172/JC1119178.PMID: 9022077). In addition, it has been shown that ABT-737 prevented allogeneic T-cell activation, proliferation, and cytotoxicity in vitro and inhibited allogeneic T- and B-cell responses after skin transplantation with high selectivity for lymphoid cells (Cippa et al., Transpl Int. 2011 July; 24(7):722-32. doi: 10.1111/j.1432-2277.2011.01272.x. Epub 2011 May 25.PMID: 21615547). Therefore, therapeutically targeting Bcl-xL or proteins upstream and/or downstream of it in an apoptotic signaling pathway represent a highly attractive approach for the development of novel therapies in oncology and in the field of immune and autoimmune diseases.

Methods of producing the described ADC compounds and compositions are also disclosed. An exemplary embodiment is a method of producing an antibody-drug conjugate by reacting an antibody or antigen-binding fragment with a cleavable linker joined or covalently attached to a Bcl-xL inhibitor under conditions that allow conjugation.
The disclosed compositions and methods may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying figures, which form a part of this disclosure.
Throughout this text, the descriptions refer to compositions and methods of using the compositions. Where the disclosure describes or claims a feature or embodiment associated with a composition, such a feature or embodiment is equally applicable to the methods of using the composition. Likewise, where the disclosure describes or claims a feature or embodiment associated with a method of using a composition, such a feature or embodiment is equally applicable to the composition.
When a range of values is expressed, it includes embodiments using any particular value within the range. Further, reference to values stated in ranges includes each and every value within that range. All ranges are inclusive of their endpoints and combinable. When values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. Reference to a particular numerical value includes at least that particular value, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The use of “or” will mean “and/or” unless the specific context of its use dictates otherwise. All references cited herein are incorporated by reference for any purpose. Where a reference and the specification conflict, the specification will control.
Unless the context of a description indicates otherwise, e.g., in the absence of symbols indicating specific point(s) of connectivity, when a structure or fragment of a structure is drawn, it may be used on its own or attached to other components of an ADC, and it may do so with any orientation, e.g., with the antibody attached at any suitable attachment point to a chemical moiety such as a linker-drug. Where indicated, however, components of an ADC are attached in the orientation shown in a given formula. For example, if Formula (1) is described as Ab-(L-D)p and the group “-(L-D)” is described as
then the elaborated structure of Formula (1) is
It is to be appreciated that certain features of the disclosed compositions and methods, which are, for clarity, described herein in the context of separate embodiments, may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the disclosed compositions and methods that are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any sub-combination.
As used throughout this application, antibody drug conjugates can be identified using a naming convention in the general format of “target antigen/antibody-linker-payload”. For example only, if an antibody drug conjugate is referred to as “Target X-L0-P0”, such a conjugate would comprise an antibody that binds Target X, a linker designated as L0, and a payload designated as PO. Alternatively, if an antibody drug conjugate is referred to as “anti-Target X-L0-P0”, such a conjugate would comprise an antibody that binds Target X, a linker designated as L0, and a payload designated as PO. In another alternative, if an antibody drug conjugate is referred to as “AbX-L0-P0”, such a conjugate would comprise the antibody designated as AbX, a linker designated as L0, and a payload designated as PO. A control antibody drug conjugate comprising a non-specific, isotype control antibody may be referenced as “isotype control IgG1-L0-P0” or “IgG1-L0-P0”.
Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulae given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include, for example, isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine, such as 3H, 11C 13C 14C 15N, 18F, and 36Cl. Accordingly, it should be understood that the present disclosure includes compounds that incorporate one or more of any of the aforementioned isotopes, including for example, radioactive isotopes, such as 3H and 14C, or those into which non-radioactive isotopes, such as 2H and 13C are present. Such isotopically labelled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (with 14C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example 2H or 3H), detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an 18F or labeled compound may be particularly desirable for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically-labeled compounds can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, e.g., using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagents in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.
Various terms relating to aspects of the description are used throughout the specification and claims. Such terms are to be given their ordinary meaning in the art unless otherwise indicated. Other specifically defined terms are to be construed in a manner consistent with the definitions provided herein.
As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The terms “comprising”, “having”, “being of” as in “being of a chemical formula”, “including”, and “containing” are to be construed as open terms (i.e., meaning “including but not limited to”) unless otherwise noted. Additionally whenever “comprising” or another open-ended term is used in an embodiment, it is to be understood that the same embodiment can be more narrowly claimed using the intermediate term “consisting essentially of” or the closed term “consisting of”.
The term “about” or “approximately,” when used in the context of numerical values and ranges, refers to values or ranges that approximate or are close to the recited values or ranges such that the embodiment may perform as intended, as is apparent to the skilled person from the teachings contained herein. In some embodiments, about means plus or minus 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0.1% of a numerical amount. In one embodiment, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 10% more or less than the specified value. In another embodiment, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 5% more or less than the specified value. In another embodiment, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 1% more or less than the specified value.
The terms “antibody-drug conjugate,” “antibody conjugate,” “conjugate,” “immunoconjugate,” and “ADC” are used interchangeably, and refer to one or more therapeutic compounds (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor) that is linked to one or more antibodies or antigen-binding fragments. In some embodiments, the ADC is defined by the generic formula: Ab-(L-D)p (Formula 1), wherein Ab=an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, L=a linker moiety, D=a drug moiety (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety), and p=the number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In ADCs comprising a Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety, “p” refers to the number of Bcl-xL inhibitor compounds linked to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment.
The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense to refer to an immunoglobulin molecule that recognizes and specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or combinations of the foregoing through at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. An antibody can be polyclonal or monoclonal, multiple or single chain, or an intact immunoglobulin, and may be derived from natural sources or from recombinant sources. An “intact” antibody is a glycoprotein that typically comprises at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, CL. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from amino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The constant regions of the antibodies may mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system. An antibody can be a monoclonal antibody, human antibody, humanized antibody, camelised antibody, or chimeric antibody. The antibodies can be of any isotype (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA and IgY), class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2), or subclass. An antibody can be an intact antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.
In some embodiments, the antibody or antibody fragment disclosed herein include modified or engineered amino acid residues, e.g., one or more cysteine residues, as sites for conjugation to a drug moiety (Junutula J R, et al., Nat Biotechnol 2008, 26:925-932). In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a modified antibody or antibody fragment comprising a substitution of one or more amino acids with cysteine at the positions described herein. Sites for cysteine substitution are in the constant regions of the antibody or antibody fragment and are thus applicable to a variety of antibody or antibody fragment, and the sites are selected to provide stable and homogeneous conjugates. A modified antibody or fragment can have one, two or more cysteine substitutions, and these substitutions can be used in combination with other modification and conjugation methods as described herein. Methods for inserting cysteine at specific locations of an antibody are known in the art, see, e.g., Lyons et al., (1990) Protein Eng., 3:703-708, WO 2011/005481, WO2014/124316, WO 2015/138615.

The term “antibody fragment” or “antigen-binding fragment” or “functional antibody fragment,” as used herein, refers to at least one portion of an antibody that retains the ability to specifically interact with (e.g., by binding, steric hinderance, stabilizing/destabilizing, spatial distribution) an epitope of an antigen (e.g., EGFR, CD7, or HER2). Antigen-binding fragments may also retain the ability to internalize into an antigen-expressing cell. In some embodiments, antigen-binding fragments also retain immune effector activity. The terms antibody, antibody fragment, antigen-binding fragment, and the like, are intended to embrace the use of binding domains from antibodies in the context of larger macromolecules such as ADCs. It has been shown that fragments of a full-length antibody can perform the antigen binding function of a full-length antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)2, Fv fragments, scFv antibody fragments, disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains, linear antibodies, single domain antibodies such as sdAb (either VL or VH), camelid VHH domains, multi-specific antibodies formed from antibody fragments such as a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region, and an isolated CDR or other epitope binding fragments of an antibody. An antigen-binding fragment can also be incorporated into single domain antibodies, maxibodies, minibodies, nanobodies, intrabodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, bispecific or multi-specific antibody constructs, ADCs, v-NAR and bis-scFv (see, e.g., Holliger and Hudson (2005) Nat Biotechnol. 23(9):1126-36). Antigen-binding fragments can also be grafted into scaffolds based on polypeptides such as a fibronectin type III (Fn3) (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,703,199, which describes fibronectin polypeptide minibodies). The term “scFv” refers to a fusion protein comprising at least one antigen-binding fragment comprising a variable region of a light chain and at least one antigen-binding fragment comprising a variable region of a heavy chain, wherein the light and heavy chain variable regions are contiguously linked, e.g., via a synthetic linker, e.g., a short flexible polypeptide linker, and capable of being expressed as a single chain polypeptide, and wherein the scFv retains the specificity of the intact antibody from which it is derived. Unless specified, an scFv may have the VL and VH variable regions in either order, e.g., with respect to the N-terminal and C-terminal ends of the polypeptide, the scFv may comprise VL-linker-VH or may comprise VH-linker-VL. Antigen-binding fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those of skill in the art, and the binding fragments are screened for utility (e.g., binding affinity, internalization) in the same manner as are intact antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments, for example, may be prepared by cleavage of the intact protein, e.g., by protease or chemical cleavage.
The term “complementarity determining region” or “CDR,” as used herein, refers to the sequences of amino acids within antibody variable regions which confer antigen specificity and binding affinity. For example, in general, there are three CDRs in each heavy chain variable region (e.g., HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3) and three CDRs in each light chain variable region (LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3). The precise amino acid sequence boundaries of a given CDR can be determined using any of a number of well-known schemes, including those described by Kabat et al. (1991) “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (“Kabat” numbering scheme); AI-Lazikani et al. (1997) J Mol Biol. 273(4):927-48 (“Chothia” numbering scheme); ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering (Lefranc (2001) Nucleic Acids Res. 29(1):207-9; Lefranc et al. (2003) Dev Comp Immunol. 27(1):55-77) (“IMGT” numbering scheme); or a combination thereof. In a combined Kabat and Chothia numbering scheme for a given CDR region (for example, HC CDR1, HC CDR2, HC CDR3, LC CDR1, LC CDR2, or LC CDR3), in some embodiments, the CDRs correspond to the amino acid residues that are defined as part of the Kabat CDR, together with the amino acid residues that are defined as part of the Chothia CDR. As used herein, the CDRs defined according to the “Chothia” number scheme are also sometimes referred to as “hypervariable loops.”
In some embodiments, under Kabat, the CDR amino acid residues in the heavy chain variable domain (VH) are numbered 31-35 (HCDR1) (e.g., insertion(s) after position 35), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the CDR amino acid residues in the light chain variable domain (VL) are numbered 24-34 (LCDR1) (e.g., insertion(s) after position 27), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3). In some embodiments, under Chothia, the CDR amino acids in the VH are numbered 26-32 (HCDR1) (e.g., insertion(s) after position 31), 52-56 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3); and the amino acid residues in VL are numbered 26-32 (LCDR1) (e.g., insertion(s) after position 30), 50-52 (LCDR2), and 91-96 (LCDR3). By combining the CDR definitions of both Kabat and Chothia, in some embodiments, the CDRs comprise or consist of, e.g., amino acid residues 26-35 (HCDR1), 50-65 (HCDR2), and 95-102 (HCDR3) in human VH and amino acid residues 24-34 (LCDR1), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3) in human VL. In some embodiments, under IMGT, the CDR amino acid residues in the VH are numbered approximately 26-35 (CDR1), 51-57 (CDR2) and 93-102 (CDR3), and the CDR amino acid residues in the VL are numbered approximately 27-32 (CDR1), 50-52 (CDR2), and 89-97 (CDR3). In some embodiments, under IMGT, the CDR regions of an antibody may be determined using the program IMGT/DomainGap Align.
The term “monoclonal antibody,” as used herein, refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic epitope. In contrast, conventional (polyclonal) antibody preparations typically include a multitude of antibodies directed against (or specific for) different epitopes. The modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present disclosure may be made by the hybridoma method first described by Kohler et al. (1975) Nature 256:495, or may be made by recombinant DNA methods (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567). Monoclonal antibodies may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in Clackson et al. (1991) Nature 352:624-8, and Marks et al. (1991) J Mol Biol. 222:581-97, for example. The term also includes preparations of antibody molecules of single molecular composition. A monoclonal antibody composition displays a single binding specificity and affinity for a particular epitope.
The monoclonal antibodies described herein can be non-human, human, or humanized. The term specifically includes “chimeric” antibodies, in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they specifically bind the target antigen and/or exhibit the desired biological activity.
The term “human antibody,” as used herein, refers an antibody produced by a human or an antibody having an amino acid sequence of an antibody produced by a human. The term includes antibodies having variable regions in which both the framework and CDR regions are derived from sequences of human origin. Furthermore, if the antibody contains a constant region, the constant region is also derived from such human sequences, e.g., human germline sequences, or mutated versions of human germline sequences or antibody containing consensus framework sequences derived from human framework sequences analysis, for example, as described in Knappik et al. ((2000) J Mol Biol. 296(1):57-86). The structures and locations of immunoglobulin variable domains, e.g., CDRs, may be defined using well known numbering schemes, e.g., the Kabat numbering scheme, the Chothia numbering scheme, or a combination of Kabat and Chothia, and/or ImMunoGenTics (IMGT) numbering. The human antibodies of the invention may include amino acid residues not encoded by human sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo, or a conservative substitution to promote stability or manufacturing). However, the term “human antibody,” as used herein, is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences.
The term “recombinant human antibody,” as used herein, refers to a human antibody that is prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means, such as antibodies isolated from an animal (e.g., a mouse) that is transgenic or transchromosomal for human immunoglobulin genes or a hybridoma prepared therefrom, antibodies isolated from a host cell transformed to express the human antibody, e.g., from a transfectoma, antibodies isolated from a recombinant, combinatorial human antibody library, and antibodies prepared, expressed, created or isolated by any other means that involve splicing of all or a portion of a human immunoglobulin gene, sequences to other DNA sequences. Such recombinant human antibodies have variable regions in which the framework and CDR regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In some embodiments, however, such recombinant human antibodies can be subjected to in vitro mutagenesis (or, when an animal transgenic for human Ig sequences is used, in vivo somatic mutagenesis) and thus the amino acid sequences of the VH and VL regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, while derived from and related to human germline VH and VL sequences, may not naturally exist within the human antibody germline repertoire in vivo.
The term “chimeric antibody,” as used herein, refers to antibodies wherein the amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin molecule is derived from two or more species. In some instances, the variable regions of both heavy and light chains correspond to the variable regions of antibodies derived from one species with the desired specificity, affinity, and activity while the constant regions are homologous to antibodies derived from another species (e.g., human) to minimize an immune response in the latter species.
As used herein, the term “humanized antibody” refers to forms of antibodies that contain sequences from non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies as well as human antibodies. Such antibodies are a type of chimeric antibody which contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the framework (FR) regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody optionally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. The humanized antibody can be further modified by the substitution of residues, either in the Fv framework region and/or within the replaced non-human residues to refine and optimize antibody specificity, affinity, and/or activity.
The term “Fc region,” as used herein, refers to a polypeptide comprising the CH3, CH2 and at least a portion of the hinge region of a constant domain of an antibody. Optionally, an Fc region may include a CH4 domain, present in some antibody classes. An Fc region may comprise the entire hinge region of a constant domain of an antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc region and a CH1 region of an antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc region CH3 region of an antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises an Fc region, a CH1 region, and a kappa/lambda region from the constant domain of an antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a constant region, e.g., a heavy chain constant region and/or a light chain constant region. In some embodiments, such a constant region is modified compared to a wild-type constant region. That is, the polypeptide may comprise alterations or modifications to one or more of the three heavy chain constant domains (CH1, CH2, or CH3) and/or to the light chain constant region domain (CL). Example modifications include additions, deletions, or substitutions of one or more amino acids in one or more domains. Such changes may be included to optimize effector function, half-life, etc.
“Internalizing” as used herein in reference to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that is capable of being taken through the cell's lipid bilayer membrane to an internal compartment (i.e., “internalized”) upon binding to the cell, preferably into a degradative compartment in the cell. For example, an internalizing anti-HER2 antibody is one that is capable of being taken into the cell after binding to HER2 on the cell membrane. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the ADCs disclosed herein targets a cell surface antigen (e.g., EGFR, CD7, or HER2) and is an internalizing antibody or internalizing antigen-binding fragment (i.e., the ADC transfers through the cellular membrane after antigen binding). In some embodiments, the internalizing antibody or antigen-binding fragment binds a receptor on the cell surface. An internalizing antibody or internalizing antigen-binding fragment that targets a receptor on the cell membrane may induce receptor-mediated endocytosis. In some embodiments, the internalizing antibody or internalizing antigen-binding fragment is taken into the cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
“Non-internalizing” as used herein in reference to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that remains at the cell surface upon binding to the cell. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment used in the ADCs disclosed herein targets a cell surface antigen and is a non-internalizing antibody or non-internalizing antigen-binding fragment (i.e., the ADC remains at the cell surface and does not transfer through the cellular membrane after antigen binding). In some embodiments, the non-internalizing antibody or antigen-binding fragment binds a non-internalizing receptor or other cell surface antigen. Exemplary non-internalizing cell surface antigens include but are not limited to CA125 and CEA, and antibodies that bind to non-internalizing antigen targets are also known in the art (see, e.g., Bast et al. (1981) J Clin Invest. 68(5):1331-7; Scholler and Urban (2007) Biomark Med. 1(4):513-23; and Boudousq et al. (2013) PLoS One 8(7):e69613).

CD79b can be isolated from human, or may be produced recombinantly or by synthetic methods.
The term “binding specificity,” as used herein, refers to the ability of an individual antibody or antigen binding fragment to preferentially react with one antigenic determinant over a different antigenic determinant. The degree of specificity indicates the extent to which an antibody or fragment preferentially binds to one antigenic determinant over a different antigenic determinant. Also, as used herein, the term “specific,” “specifically binds,” and “binds specifically” refers to a binding reaction between an antibody or antigen-binding fragment (e.g., an anti-HER2 antibody) and a target antigen (e.g., HER2) in a heterogeneous population of proteins and other biologics. Antibodies can be tested for specificity of binding by comparing binding to an appropriate antigen to binding to an irrelevant antigen or antigen mixture under a given set of conditions. If the antibody binds to the appropriate antigen with at least 2, 5, 7, 10 or more times more affinity than to the irrelevant antigen or antigen mixture, then it is considered to be specific. A “specific antibody” or a “target-specific antibody” is one that only binds the target antigen (e.g., EGFR, CD7, or HER2), but does not bind (or exhibits minimal binding) to other antigens. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that specifically binds a target antigen (e.g., EGFR, CD7, or HER2) has a KD of less than 1×10−6 M, less than 1×10−7 M, less than 1×10−8 M, less than 1×10−9 M, less than 1×10−10 M, less than 1×10−11 M, less than 1×10−12 M, or less than 1×10−13 M. In some embodiments, the KD is 1 μM to 500 μM. In some embodiments, the KD is between 500 μM to 1 μM, 1 μM to 100 nM, or 100 mM to 10 nM.
The term “affinity,” as used herein, refers to the strength of interaction between antibody and antigen at single antigenic sites. Without being bound by theory, within each antigen binding site, the variable region of the antibody “arm” interacts through weak non-covalent forces with the antigen at numerous sites; the more interactions, typically the stronger the affinity. The binding affinity of an antibody is the sum of the attractive and repulsive forces operating between the antigenic determinant and the binding site of the antibody.
The term “kon” or “ka” refers to the on-rate constant for association of an antibody to the antigen to form the antibody/antigen complex. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay.
The term “koff” or “kd” refers to the off-rate constant for dissociation of an antibody from the antibody/antigen complex. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay.
The term “KD” refers to the equilibrium dissociation constant of a particular antibody-antigen interaction. KD is calculated by ka/kd. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay.
The term “epitope” refers to the portion of an antigen capable of being recognized and specifically bound by an antibody (or antigen-binding fragment). Epitope determinants generally consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or carbohydrate or sugar side chains and can have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics. When the antigen is a polypeptide, epitopes can be formed from contiguous amino acids or noncontiguous amino acids juxtaposed by tertiary folding of the polypeptide. An epitope may be “linear” or “conformational.” Conformational and linear epitopes are distinguished in that the binding to the former but not the latter is lost in the presence of denaturing solvents. The epitope bound by an antibody (or antigen-binding fragment) may be identified using any epitope mapping technique known in the art, including X-ray crystallography for epitope identification by direct visualization of the antigen-antibody complex, as well as monitoring the binding of the antibody to fragments or mutated variations of the antigen, or monitoring solvent accessibility of different parts of the antibody and the antigen. Exemplary strategies used to map antibody epitopes include, but are not limited to, array-based oligo-peptide scanning, limited proteolysis, site-directed mutagenesis, high-throughput mutagenesis mapping, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, and mass spectrometry (see, e.g., Gershoni et al. (2007) BioDrugs 21:145-56; and Hager-Braun and Tomer (2005) Expert Rev Proteomics 2:745-56).
Competitive binding and epitope binning can also be used to determine antibodies sharing identical or overlapping epitopes. Competitive binding can be evaluated using a cross-blocking assay, such as the assay described in “Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual,” Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Harlow and Lane (1st edition 1988, 2nd edition 2014). In some embodiments, competitive binding is identified when a test antibody or binding protein reduces binding of a reference antibody or binding protein to a target antigen such as EGFR, CD7, or HER2 (e.g., a binding protein comprising CDRs and/or variable domains selected from those identified in Tables 3-5), by at least about 50% in the cross-blocking assay (e.g., 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, 99.5%, or more, or any percentage in between), and/or vice versa. In some embodiments, competitive binding can be due to shared or similar (e.g., partially overlapping) epitopes, or due to steric hindrance where antibodies or binding proteins bind at nearby epitopes (see, e.g., Tzartos, Methods in Molecular Biology (Morris, ed. (1998) vol. 66, pp. 55-66)). In some embodiments, competitive binding can be used to sort groups of binding proteins that share similar epitopes. For example, binding proteins that compete for binding can be “binned” as a group of binding proteins that have overlapping or nearby epitopes, while those that do not compete are placed in a separate group of binding proteins that do not have overlapping or nearby epitopes.
As used herein, the terms “peptide,” “polypeptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The terms encompass amino acid polymers comprising two or more amino acids joined to each other by peptide bonds, amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residues is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally-occurring amino acid, as well as naturally-occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally-occurring amino acid polymers. The terms include, for example, biologically active fragments, substantially homologous polypeptides, oligopeptides, homodimers, heterodimers, variants of polypeptides, modified polypeptides, derivatives, analogs, fusion proteins, among others. The terms also include natural peptides, recombinant peptides, synthetic peptides, or a combination thereof. Unless otherwise indicated, a particular polypeptide sequence also implicitly encompasses conservatively modified variants thereof.
A “recombinant” protein refers to a protein (e.g., an antibody) made using recombinant techniques, e.g., through the expression of a recombinant nucleic acid.
An “isolated” protein refers to a protein unaccompanied by at least some of the material with which it is normally associated in its natural state. For example, a naturally-occurring polynucleotide or polypeptide present in a living organism is not isolated, but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide separated from some or all of the coexisting materials in the living organism, is isolated. The definition includes the production of an antibody in a wide variety of organisms and/or host cells that are known in the art.
An “isolated antibody,” as used herein, is an antibody that has been identified and separated from one or more (e.g., the majority) of the components (by weight) of its source environment, e.g., from the components of a hybridoma cell culture or a different cell culture that was used for its production. In some embodiments, the separation is performed such that it sufficiently removes components that may otherwise interfere with the suitability of the antibody for the desired applications (e.g., for therapeutic use). Methods for preparing isolated antibodies are known in the art and include, without limitation, protein A chromatography, anion exchange chromatography, cation exchange chromatography, virus retentive filtration, and ultrafiltration.
As used herein, the term “variant” refers to a nucleic acid sequence or an amino acid sequence that differs from a reference nucleic acid sequence or amino acid sequence respectively, but retains one or more biological properties of the reference sequence. A variant may contain one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions (or corresponding substitution, deletion, and/or insertion of codons) with respect to a reference sequence. Changes in a nucleic acid variant may not alter the amino acid sequence of a peptide encoded by the reference nucleic acid sequence, or may result in amino acid substitutions, additions, deletions, fusions, and/or truncations. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid variant disclosed herein encodes an identical amino acid sequence to that encoded by the unmodified nucleic acid or encodes a modified amino acid sequence that retains one or more functional properties of the unmodified amino acid sequence. Changes in the sequence of peptide variants are typically limited or conservative, so that the sequences of the unmodified peptide and the variant are closely similar overall and, in many regions, identical. In some embodiments, a peptide variant retains one or more functional properties of the unmodified peptide sequence. A variant and unmodified peptide can differ in amino acid sequence by one or more substitutions, additions, deletions in any combination.
A variant of a nucleic acid or peptide can be a naturally-occurring variant or a variant that is not known to occur naturally. Variants of nucleic acids and peptides may be made by mutagenesis techniques, by direct synthesis, or by other techniques known in the art. A variant does not necessarily require physical manipulation of the reference sequence. As long as a sequence contains a different nucleic acid or amino acid as compared to a reference sequence, it is considered a “variant” regardless of how it was synthesized. In some embodiments, a variant has high sequence identity (i.e., 60% nucleic acid or amino acid sequence identity or higher) as compared to a reference sequence. In some embodiments, a peptide variant encompasses polypeptides having amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions as long as the polypeptide has at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% amino acid sequence identity with a reference sequence, or with a corresponding segment (e.g., a functional fragment) of a reference sequence, e.g., those variants that also retain one or more functions of the reference sequence. In some embodiments, a nucleic acid variant encompasses polynucleotides having amino acid substitutions, deletions, and/or insertions as long as the polynucleotide has at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% nucleic acid sequence identity with a reference sequence, or with a corresponding segment (e.g., a functional fragment) of a reference sequence.
The term “conservatively modified variant” applies to both amino acid and nucleic acid sequences. For nucleic acid sequences, conservatively modified variants refer to those nucleic acids which encode identical or essentially identical amino acid sequences. Because of the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of functionally identical nucleic acids encode any given protein. For instance, the codons GCA, GCC, GCG and GCU all encode the amino acid alanine. Thus, at every position where an alanine is specified by a codon, the codon can be altered to any of the corresponding codons described without altering the encoded polypeptide. Such nucleic acid variations are “silent variations,” which are one species of conservatively modified variations. Every nucleic acid sequence herein which encodes a polypeptide also describes every possible silent variation of the nucleic acid. One of skill will recognize that each codon in a nucleic acid (except AUG, which is ordinarily the only codon for methionine, and TGG, which is ordinarily the only codon for tryptophan) can be modified to yield a functionally identical molecule. Accordingly, each silent variation of a nucleic acid that encodes a polypeptide is implicit in each described sequence. For polypeptide sequences, conservatively modified variants include individual substitutions, deletions, or additions to a polypeptide sequence which result in the substitution of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitutions providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art.
The term “conservative sequence modifications,” as used herein, refers to amino acid modifications that do not significantly affect or alter the binding characteristics of, e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment containing the amino acid sequence. Such conservative modifications include amino acid substitutions, additions, and deletions. Modifications can be introduced into an antibody or antigen-binding fragment by standard techniques known in the art, such as, e.g., site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative amino acid substitutions are ones in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, in some embodiments, one or more amino acid residues within an antibody can be replaced with other amino acid residues from the same side chain family and the altered antibody can be tested using the functional assays described herein.
The term “homologous” or “identity,” as used herein, refers to the subunit sequence identity between two polymeric molecules, e.g., between two nucleic acid molecules, such as, two DNA molecules or two RNA molecules, or between two polypeptide molecules. When a subunit position in both of the two molecules is occupied by the same monomeric subunit; e.g., if a position in each of two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, then they are homologous or identical at that position. The homology between two sequences is a direct function of the number of matching or homologous positions. For example, if half (e.g., five positions in a polymer ten subunits in length) of the positions in two sequences are matched or homologous, the two sequences are 50% homologous; if 90% of the positions (e.g., 9 of 10), are matched or homologous, the two sequences are 90% homologous.
Percentage of “sequence identity” can be determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, where the fragment of the amino acid sequence in the comparison window may comprise additions or deletions (e.g., gaps or overhangs) as compared to the reference sequence (which does not comprise additions or deletions) for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percentage can be calculated by determining the number of positions at which the identical amino acid residue occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison, and multiplying the result by 100 to yield the percentage of sequence identity. The output is the percent identity of the subject sequence with respect to the query sequence. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. Generally, the amino acid identity or homology between proteins disclosed herein and variants thereof, including variants of target antigens (such as EGFR, CD7, or HER2) and variants of antibody variable domains (including individual variant CDRs), is at least 80% to the sequences depicted herein, e.g., identities or homologies of at least 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, almost 100%, or 100%.
The comparison of sequences and determination of percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. In some embodiments, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences is determined using the Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J Mol Biol. 48:444-53) algorithm which has been incorporated into the GAP program in the GCG software package, using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In some embodiments, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences is determined using the GAP program in the GCG software package, using a NWSgapdna.CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. An exemplary set of parameters is a Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extend penalty of 4, and a frameshift gap penalty of 5. The percent identity between two amino acid or nucleotide sequences can also be determined using the algorithm of Meyers and Miller ((1989) CABIOS 4:11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4.

The term also encompasses functional variants or fragments of human Bcl-xL, including but not limited to splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms that retain one or more biologic functions of human Bcl-xL (i.e., variants and fragments are encompassed unless the context indicates that the term is used to refer to the wild-type protein only). Bcl-xL can be isolated from human, or may be produced recombinantly or by synthetic methods.
The term “inhibit” or “inhibition” or “inhibiting,” as used herein, means to reduce a biological activity or process by a measurable amount, and can include but does not require complete prevention or inhibition. In some embodiments, “inhibition” means to reduce the expression and/or activity of Bcl-xL and/or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof.
The term “Bcl-xL inhibitor,” as used herein, refers to an agent capable of reducing the expression and/or activity of Bcl-xL and/or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof.

In some embodiments, the tumor is a gastric cancer.
The terms “tumor cell” and “cancer cell” may be used interchangeably herein and refer to individual cells or the total population of cells derived from a tumor or cancer, including both non-tumorigenic cells and cancer stem cells. The terms “tumor cell” and “cancer cell” will be modified by the term “non-tumorigenic” when referring solely to those cells lacking the capacity to renew and differentiate to distinguish those cells from cancer stem cells.
The term “target-negative,” “target antigen-negative,” or “antigen-negative,” as used herein, refers to the absence of target antigen expression by a cell or tissue. The term “target-positive,” “target antigen-positive,” or “antigen-positive” refers to the presence of target antigen expression. For example, a cell or a cell line that does not express a target antigen may be described as target-negative, whereas a cell or cell line that expresses a target antigen may be described as target-positive.
The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein to refer to any human or non-human animal in need of treatment. Non-human animals include all vertebrates (e.g., mammals and non-mammals) such as any mammal. Non-limiting examples of mammals include humans, chimpanzees, apes, monkeys, cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine, rabbits, dogs, cats, rats, mice, and guinea pigs. Non-limiting examples of non-mammals include birds and fish. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.
The term “a subject in need of treatment,” as used herein, refers to a subject that would benefit biologically, medically, or in quality of life from a treatment (e.g., a treatment with any one or more of the exemplary ADC compounds described herein).
As used herein, the term “treat,” “treating,” or “treatment” refers to any improvement of any consequence of disease, disorder, or condition, such as prolonged survival, less morbidity, and/or a lessening of side effects which result from an alternative therapeutic modality. In some embodiments, treatment comprises delaying or ameliorating a disease, disorder, or condition (i.e., slowing or arresting or reducing the development of a disease or at least one of the clinical symptoms thereof). In some embodiments, treatment comprises delaying, alleviating, or ameliorating at least one physical parameter of a disease, disorder, or condition, including those which may not be discernible by the patient. In some embodiments, treatment comprises modulating a disease, disorder, or condition, either physically (e.g., stabilization of a discernible symptom), physiologically (e.g., stabilization of a physical parameter), or both. In some embodiments, treatment comprises administration of a described ADC compound or composition to a subject, e.g., a patient, to obtain a treatment benefit enumerated herein. The treatment can be to cure, heal, alleviate, delay, prevent, relieve, alter, remedy, ameliorate, palliate, improve, or affect a disease, disorder, or condition (e.g., a cancer), the symptoms of a disease, disorder, or condition (e.g., a cancer), or a predisposition toward a disease, disorder, or condition (e.g., a cancer). In some embodiments, in addition to treating a subject having a disease, disorder, or condition, a composition disclosed herein can also be provided prophylactically to prevent or reduce the likelihood of developing that disease, disorder, or condition.
As used herein, the term “prevent”, “preventing,” or “prevention” of a disease, disorder, or condition refers to the prophylactic treatment of the disease, disorder, or condition; or delaying the onset or progression of the disease, disorder, or condition.
As used herein, a “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a preparation of a composition, e.g., an ADC compound or composition, in addition to at least one other (and optionally more than one other) component suitable for administration to a subject, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, stabilizer, diluent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, thickening agent, and/or excipient. The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are in such form as to permit administration and subsequently provide the intended biological activity of the active ingredient(s) and/or to achieve a therapeutic effect. The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein preferably contain no additional components which are unacceptably toxic to a subject to which the formulation would be administered.
As used herein, the terms “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” and “physiologically acceptable carrier,” which may be used interchangeably, refer to a carrier or a diluent that does not cause significant irritation to a subject and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the administered ADC compound or composition and/or any additional therapeutic agent in the composition. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may enhance or stabilize the composition or can be used to facilitate preparation of the composition. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can include solvents, dispersion media, coatings, surfactants, antioxidants, preservatives (e.g., antibacterial agents, antifungal agents), isotonic agents, absorption delaying agents, salts, preservatives, drug stabilizers, binders, excipients, disintegration agents, lubricants, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, dyes, and the like and combinations thereof, as would be known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Ed. Mack Printing Company, 1990, pp. 1289-1329). Except insofar as any conventional carrier is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions is contemplated. The carrier may be selected to minimize adverse side effects in the subject, and/or to minimize degradation of the active ingredient(s). An adjuvant may also be included in any of these formulations.
As used herein, the term “excipient” refers to an inert substance added to a pharmaceutical composition to further facilitate administration of an active ingredient. Formulations for parenteral administration can, for example, contain excipients such as sterile water or saline, polyalkylene glycols such as polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, or hydrogenated napthalenes. Other exemplary excipients include, but are not limited to, calcium bicarbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, ethylene-vinyl acetate co-polymer particles, and surfactants, including, for example, polysorbate 20.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt,” as used herein, refers to a salt which does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compounds of the invention, and does not cause significant irritation to a subject to which it is administered. Examples of such salts include, but are not limited to: (a) acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and the like; and salts formed with organic acids, for example, acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, tannic acid, palmitic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, polygalacturonic acid, and the like; and (b) salts formed from elemental anions such as chlorine, bromine, and iodine. See, e.g., Haynes et al., “Commentary: Occurrence of Pharmaceutically Acceptable Anions and Cations in the Cambridge Structural Database,” J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, vol. 94, no. 10 (2005), and Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, vol. 66, no. 1 (1977), which are incorporated by reference herein.
In some embodiments, depending on their electronic charge, the antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), linkers, payloads and linker-payloads described herein can contain a monovalent anionic counterion M1−. Any suitable anionic counterion can be used. In certain embodiments, the monovalent anionic counterion is a pharmaceutically acceptable monovalent anionic counterion. In certain embodiments, the monovalent anionic counterion M1-can be selected from bromide, chloride, iodide, acetate, trifluoroacetate, benzoate, mesylate, tosylate, triflate, formate, or the like. In some embodiments, the monovalent anionic counterion M1−is trifluoroacetate or formate.
As used herein, the term “therapeutically effective amount” or “therapeutically effective dose,” refers to an amount of a compound described herein, e.g., an ADC compound or composition described herein, to effect the desired therapeutic result (i.e., reduction or inhibition of an enzyme or a protein activity, amelioration of symptoms, alleviation of symptoms or conditions, delay of disease progression, a reduction in tumor size, inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of metastasis). In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount does not induce or cause undesirable side effects. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount induces or causes side effects but only those that are acceptable by a treating clinician in view of a patient's condition. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is effective for detectable killing, reduction, and/or inhibition of the growth or spread of cancer cells, the size or number of tumors, and/or other measure of the level, stage, progression and/or severity of a cancer. The term also applies to a dose that will induce a particular response in target cells, e.g., a reduction, slowing, or inhibition of cell growth. A therapeutically effective amount can be determined by first administering a low dose, and then incrementally increasing that dose until the desired effect is achieved. A therapeutically effective amount can also vary depending upon the intended application (in vitro or in vivo), or the subject and disease condition being treated, e.g., the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. The specific amount may vary depending on, for example, the particular pharmaceutical composition, the subject and their age and existing health conditions or risk for health conditions, the dosing regimen to be followed, the severity of the disease, whether it is administered in combination with other agents, timing of administration, the tissue to which it is administered, and the physical delivery system in which it is carried. In the case of cancer, a therapeutically effective amount of an ADC may reduce the number of cancer cells, reduce tumor size, inhibit (e.g., slow or stop) tumor metastasis, inhibit (e.g., slow or stop) tumor growth, and/or relieve one or more symptoms.
As used herein, the term “prophylactically effective amount” or “prophylactically effective dose,” refers to an amount of a compound disclosed herein, e.g., an ADC compound or composition described herein, that is effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount will be less than the therapeutically effective amount. In some embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount can prevent the onset of disease symptoms, including symptoms associated with a cancer.
The term “p” or “drug loading” or “drug:antibody ratio” or “drug-to-antibody ratio” or “DAR” refers to the number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment, i.e., drug loading, or the number of -L-D moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment (Ab) in ADCs of Formula (1). In ADCs comprising a Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety, “p” refers to the number of Bcl-xL inhibitor compounds linked to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. For example, if two Bcl-xL inhibitor compounds are linked to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, p=2. In compositions comprising multiple copies of ADCs of Formula (1), “average p” refers to the average number of -L-D moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment, also referred to as “average drug loading.”
The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) compounds of the present disclosure include those with anti-cancer activity. In particular, the ADC compounds include an antibody or antigen-binding fragment conjugated (i.e., covalently attached by a linker) to a drug moiety (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor), wherein the drug moiety when not conjugated to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment has a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect. In some embodiments, the drug moiety when not conjugated to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is capable of reducing the expression and/or activity of Bcl-xL and/or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof. Without being bound by theory, by targeting Bcl-xL expression and/or activity, in some embodiments, the ADCs disclosed herein may provide potent anti-cancer agents. Also, without being bound by theory, by conjugating the drug moiety to an antibody that binds an antigen associated with expression in a tumor cell or cancer, the ADC may provide improved activity, better cytotoxic specificity, and/or reduced off-target killing as compared to the drug moiety when administered alone.
In some embodiments, therefore, the components of the ADC are selected to (i) retain one or more therapeutic properties exhibited by the antibody and drug moieties in isolation, (ii) maintain the specific binding properties of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment; (iii) optimize drug loading and drug-to-antibody ratios; (iv) allow delivery, e.g., intracellular delivery, of the drug moiety via stable attachment to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment; (v) retain ADC stability as an intact conjugate until transport or delivery to a target site; (vi) minimize aggregation of the ADC prior to or after administration; (vii) allow for the therapeutic effect, e.g., cytotoxic effect, of the drug moiety after cleavage or other release mechanism in the cellular environment; (viii) exhibit in vivo anti-cancer treatment efficacy comparable to or superior to that of the antibody and drug moieties in isolation; (ix) minimize off-target killing by the drug moiety; and/or (x) exhibit desirable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties, formulatability, and toxicologic/immunologic profiles. Each of these properties may provide for an improved ADC for therapeutic use (Ab et al. (2015) Mol Cancer Ther. 14:1605-13).
The ADC compounds of the present disclosure may selectively deliver an effective dose of a cytotoxic or cytostatic agent to cancer cells or to tumor tissue. In some embodiments, the cytotoxic and/or cytostatic activity of the ADC is dependent on target antigen expression in a cell. In some embodiments, the disclosed ADCs are particularly effective at killing cancer cells expressing a target antigen while minimizing off-target killing. In some embodiments, the disclosed ADCs do not exhibit a cytotoxic and/or cytostatic effect on cancer cells that do not express a target antigen.

(2013) Mol Diagn Ther. 17:85-99).
Provided herein, in certain aspects, are ADC compounds comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (Ab), a Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety (D), and a linker moiety (L) that covalently attaches Ab to D. In some embodiments, provided herein, are ADC compounds comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof (Ab) which targets a cancer cell, a Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety (D), and a linker moiety (L) that covalently attaches Ab to D. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is able to bind to a tumor-associated antigen (e.g., EGFR, CD7, or HER2), e.g., with high specificity and high affinity. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is internalized into a target cell upon binding, e.g., into a degradative compartment in the cell. In some embodiments, the ADCs internalize upon binding to a target cell, undergo degradation, and release the Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety to kill cancer cells. The Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety may be released from the antibody and/or the linker moiety of the ADC by enzymatic action, hydrolysis, oxidation, or any other mechanism.
An exemplary ADC has Formula (1:
wherein Ab=an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, L=a linker moiety, D=a Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety, and p=the number of Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment.
The antibody or antigen-binding fragment (Ab) of Formula (1) includes within its scope any antibody or antigen-binding fragment that specifically binds to a target antigen on a cell. In some embodiment, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment (Ab) of Formula (1) includes within its scope any antibody or antigen-binding fragment that specifically binds to a target antigen on a cancer cell. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment may bind to a target antigen with a dissociation constant (KD) of ≤1 mM, ≤100 nM or ≤10 nM, or any amount in between, as measured by, e.g., BIAcore® analysis. In some embodiments, the Ko is 1 μM to 500 μM. In some embodiments, the KD is between 500 μM to 1 μM, 1 μM to 100 nM, or 100 mM to 10 nM.
In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is a four-chain antibody (also referred to as an immunoglobulin or a full-length or intact antibody), comprising two heavy chains and two light chains. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is an antigen-binding fragment of an immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is an antigen-binding fragment of an immunoglobulin that retains the ability to bind a target cancer antigen and/or provide at least one function of the immunoglobulin.

Residues in two or more polypeptides are said to “correspond” if the residues occupy an analogous position in the polypeptide structures. Analogous positions in two or more polypeptides can be determined by aligning the polypeptide sequences based on amino acid sequence or structural similarities. Those skilled in the art understand that it may be necessary to introduce gaps in either sequence to produce a satisfactory alignment.
In some embodiments, amino acid substitutions are of single residues. Insertions usually will be on the order of from about 1 to about 20 amino acid residues, although considerably larger insertions may be tolerated as long as biological function is retained (e.g., binding to a target antigen). Deletions usually range from about 1 to about 20 amino acid residues, although in some cases deletions may be much larger. Substitutions, deletions, insertions, or any combination thereof may be used to arrive at a final derivative or variant. Generally, these changes are done on a few amino acids to minimize the alteration of the molecule, particularly the immunogenicity and specificity of the antigen binding protein. However, larger changes may be tolerated in certain circumstances. Conservative substitutions can be made in accordance with the following chart depicted as Table 7.
In some embodiments where variant antibody sequences are used in an ADC, the variants typically exhibit the same qualitative biological activity and will elicit the same immune response, although variants may also be selected to modify the characteristics of the antigen binding proteins as needed. Alternatively, the variant may be designed such that the biological activity of the antigen binding protein is altered. For example, glycosylation sites may be altered or removed.
Various antibodies may be used with the ADCs used herein to target cancer cells. As shown below, the linker-payloads in the ADCs disclosed herein are surprisingly effective with different tumor antigen-targeting antibodies. Suitable antigens expressed on cancer cells but not healthy cells, or expressed on cancer cells at a higher level than on healthy cells, are known in the art, as are antibodies directed against them. Further antibodies against those antigen targets may be prepared by those of skill in the art. These antibodies may be used with the linkers and Bcl-xL inhibitor payloads disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment targets BCMA, and the BCMA-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is J6M0. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment targets CD33, and in some embodiments the CD33-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is MuMy9-6ch. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment targets PCAD, and in some embodiments the PCAD-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is NOV169N31Q. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment targets HER2, and in some embodiments the HER2-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is trastuzumab. In some embodiments, while the disclosed linkers and Bcl-xL inhibitor payloads are surprisingly effective with several different tumor-targeting antibodies, BCMA-targeting antibodies such as J6M0, CD33-targeting antibodies such as MuMy9-6ch, PCAD-targeting antibodies such as NOV169N31Q, and HER2-targeting antibodies such as trastuzumab, provided particularly improved drug:antibody ratio, aggregation level, stability (i.e., in vitro and in vivo stability), tumor targeting (i.e., cytotoxicity, potency), minimized off-target killing, and/or treatment efficacy. Improved treatment efficacy can be measured in vitro or in vivo, and may include reduced tumor growth rate and/or reduced tumor volume.
In some embodiments, alternate antibodies to the same targets or antibodies to different antigen targets are used and provide at least some of the favorable functional properties described above (e.g., improved stability, improved tumor targeting, improved treatment efficacy, etc.). In some embodiments, some or all of these favorable functional properties are observed when the disclosed linkers and Bcl-xL inhibitor payloads are conjugated to an alternate EGFR, CD7, or HER2-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some other embodiments, some or all of these favorable functional properties are observed when the disclosed linkers and Bcl-xL inhibitor payloads are conjugated to a EGFR-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment targets EGFR. In some embodiments, the EGFR-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is J6M0. In other embodiments, some or all of these favorable functional properties are observed when the disclosed linkers and Bcl-xL inhibitor payloads are conjugated to a CD7-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment targets CD7. In some embodiments, the CD7-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is MuMy9-6ch. In other embodiments, some or all of these favorable functional properties are observed when the disclosed linkers and Bcl-xL inhibitor payloads are conjugated to an HER2-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment targets HER2. In some embodiments, the HER2-targeting antibody or antigen-binding fragment is trastuzumab.
In some embodiments, the linker in an ADC is stable extracellularly in a sufficient manner to be therapeutically effective. In some embodiments, the linker is stable outside a cell, such that the ADC remains intact when present in extracellular conditions (e.g., prior to transport or delivery into a cell). The term “intact,” used in the context of an ADC, means that the antibody or antigen-binding fragment remains attached to the drug moiety (e.g., the Bcl-xL inhibitor).
As used herein, “stable,” in the context of a linker or ADC comprising a linker, means that no more than 20%, no more than about 15%, no more than about 10%, no more than about 5%, no more than about 3%, or no more than about 1% of the linkers (or any percentage in between) in a sample of ADC are cleaved (or in the case of an overall ADC are otherwise not intact) when the ADC is present in extracellular conditions. In some embodiments, the linkers and/or ADCs disclosed herein are stable compared to alternate linkers and/or ADCs with alternate linkers and/or Bcl-xL inhibitor payloads. In some embodiments, the ADCs disclosed herein can remain intact for more than about 48 hours, more than 60 hours, more than about 72 hours, more than about 84 hours, or more than about 96 hours.
Whether a linker is stable extracellularly can be determined, for example, by including an ADC in plasma for a predetermined time period (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, 24, 48, or 72 hours) and then quantifying the amount of free drug moiety present in the plasma. Stability may allow the ADC time to localize to target cancer cells and prevent the premature release of the drug moiety, which could lower the therapeutic index of the ADC by indiscriminately damaging both normal and cancer tissues. In some embodiments, the linker is stable outside of a target cell and releases the drug moiety from the ADC once inside of the cell, such that the drug can bind to its target. Thus, an effective linker will: (i) maintain the specific binding properties of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment; (ii) allow delivery, e.g., intracellular delivery, of the drug moiety via stable attachment to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment; (iii) remain stable and intact until the ADC has been transported or delivered to its target site; and (iv) allow for the therapeutic effect, e.g., cytotoxic effect, of the drug moiety after cleavage or alternate release mechanism.
Linkers may impact the physico-chemical properties of an ADC. As many cytotoxic agents are hydrophobic in nature, linking them to the antibody with an additional hydrophobic moiety may lead to aggregation. ADC aggregates are insoluble and often limit achievable drug loading onto the antibody, which can negatively affect the potency of the ADC. Protein aggregates of biologics, in general, have also been linked to increased immunogenicity. As shown below, linkers disclosed herein result in ADCs with low aggregation levels and desirable levels of drug loading.
A linker may be “cleavable” or “non-cleavable” (Ducry and Stump (2010) Bioconjugate Chem. 21:5-13). Cleavable linkers are designed to release the drug moiety (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor) when subjected to certain environment factors, e.g., when internalized into the target cell, whereas non-cleavable linkers generally rely on the degradation of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment itself.

The term “hydrophilic moiety”, as used herein, refers to moiety that is has hydrophilic properties which increases the aqueous solubility of the Drug moiety (D) when the Drug moiety (D) is attached to the linker group of the invention. Examples of such hydrophilic groups include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycols, polyalkylene glycols, sugars, oligosaccharides, polypeptides a C2-C6alkyl substituted with 1 to 3
groups.
In some embodiments, an intermediate, which is the precursor of the linker moiety, is reacted with the drug moiety (e.g., the Bcl-xL inhibitor) under appropriate conditions. In some embodiments, reactive groups are used on the drug and/or the intermediate or linker. The product of the reaction between the drug and the intermediate, or the derivatized drug (drug plus linker), is subsequently reacted with the antibody or antigen-binding fragment under conditions that facilitate conjugation of the drug and intermediate or derivatized drug and antibody or antigen-binding fragment. Alternatively, the intermediate or linker may first be reacted with the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, or a derivatized antibody or antigen-binding fragment, and then reacted with the drug or derivatized drug.
A number of different reactions are available for covalent attachment of the drug moiety and/or linker moiety to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. This is often accomplished by reaction of one or more amino acid residues of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, including the amine groups of lysine, the free carboxylic acid groups of glutamic acid and aspartic acid, the sulfhydryl groups of cysteine, and the various moieties of the aromatic amino acids. For instance, non-specific covalent attachment may be undertaken using a carbodiimide reaction to link a carboxy (or amino) group on a drug moiety to an amino (or carboxy) group on an antibody or antigen-binding fragment. Additionally, bifunctional agents such as dialdehydes or imidoesters may also be used to link the amino group on a drug moiety to an amino group on an antibody or antigen-binding fragment. Also available for attachment of drugs (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor) to binding agents is the Schiff base reaction. This method involves the periodate oxidation of a drug that contains glycol or hydroxy groups, thus forming an aldehyde which is then reacted with the binding agent. Attachment occurs via formation of a Schiff base with amino groups of the binding agent. Isothiocyanates may also be used as coupling agents for covalently attaching drugs to binding agents. Other techniques are known to the skilled artisan and within the scope of the present disclosure. Examples of drug moieties that can be generated and linked to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment using various chemistries known to in the art include Bcl-xL inhibitors, e.g., the Bcl-xL inhibitors described and exemplified herein.

In some embodiments, p is an integer from 1 to 16. In some embodiments, p is an integer from 1 to 16, 1 to 15, 1 to 14, 1 to 13, 1 to 12, 1 to 11, 1 to 10, 1 to 9, 1 to 8, 1 to 7, 1 to 6, 1 to 5, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, or 1 to 2. In some embodiments, p is an integer from 2 to 10, 2 to 9, 2 to 8, 2 to 7, 2 to 6, 2 to 5, 2 to 4, or 2 to 3. In some embodiments, p is an integer from 1 to 16. In some embodiments, p is an integer from 1 to 8. In some embodiments, p is an integer from 1 to 5. In some embodiments, p is an integer from 2 to 4. In some embodiments, p is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. In some embodiments, p is 2. In some embodiments, p is 4.
Drug loading may be limited by the number of attachment sites on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the linker moiety (L) of the ADC attaches to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment through a chemically active group on one or more amino acid residues on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. For example, the linker may be attached to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment via a free amino, imino, hydroxyl, thiol, or carboxyl group (e.g., to the N- or C-terminus, to the epsilon amino group of one or more lysine residues, to the free carboxylic acid group of one or more glutamic acid or aspartic acid residues, or to the sulfhydryl group of one or more cysteine residues). The site to which the linker is attached can be a natural residue in the amino acid sequence of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, or it can be introduced into the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, e.g., by DNA recombinant technology (e.g., by introducing a cysteine residue into the amino acid sequence) or by protein biochemistry (e.g., by reduction, pH adjustment, or hydrolysis).
In some embodiments, the number of drug moieties that can be conjugated to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is limited by the number of free cysteine residues. For example, where the attachment is a cysteine thiol group, an antibody may have only one or a few cysteine thiol groups, or may have only one or a few sufficiently reactive thiol groups through which a linker may be attached. Generally, antibodies do not contain many free and reactive cysteine thiol groups that may be linked to a drug moiety. Indeed, most cysteine thiol residues in antibodies are involved in either interchain or intrachain disulfide bonds. Conjugation to cysteines can therefore, in some embodiments, require at least partial reduction of the antibody. Over-attachment of linker-toxin to an antibody may destabilize the antibody by reducing the cysteine residues available to form disulfide bonds. Therefore, an optimal drug:antibody ratio should increase potency of the ADC (by increasing the number of attached drug moieties per antibody) without destabilizing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, an optimal ratio may be 2, 4, 6, or 8. In some embodiments, an optimal ratio may be 2 or 4.
In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is exposed to reducing conditions prior to conjugation in order to generate one or more free cysteine residues. An antibody, in some embodiments, may be reduced with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) or tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), under partial or total reducing conditions, to generate reactive cysteine thiol groups. Unpaired cysteines may be generated through partial reduction with limited molar equivalents of TCEP, which can reduce the interchain disulfide bonds which link the light chain and heavy chain (one pair per H-L pairing) and the two heavy chains in the hinge region (two pairs per H—H pairing in the case of human IgG1) while leaving the intrachain disulfide bonds intact (Stefano et al. (2013) Methods Mol Biol. 1045:145-71). In embodiments, disulfide bonds within the antibodies are reduced electrochemically, e.g., by employing a working electrode that applies an alternating reducing and oxidizing voltage. This approach can allow for on-line coupling of disulfide bond reduction to an analytical device (e.g., an electrochemical detection device, an NMR spectrometer, or a mass spectrometer) or a chemical separation device (e.g., a liquid chromatograph (e.g., an HPLC) or an electrophoresis device (see, e.g., US 2014/0069822)). In some embodiments, an antibody is subjected to denaturing conditions to reveal reactive nucleophilic groups on amino acid residues, such as cysteine.
The drug loading of an ADC may be controlled in different ways, e.g., by: (i) limiting the molar excess of drug-linker intermediate or linker reagent relative to antibody; (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature; (iii) partial or limiting reductive conditions for cysteine thiol modification; and/or (iv) engineering by recombinant techniques the amino acid sequence of the antibody such that the number and position of cysteine residues is modified for control of the number and/or position of linker-drug attachments.
In some embodiments, free cysteine residues are introduced into the amino acid sequence of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. For example, cysteine engineered antibodies can be prepared wherein one or more amino acids of a parent antibody are replaced with a cysteine amino acid. Any form of antibody may be so engineered, i.e. mutated. For example, a parent Fab antibody fragment may be engineered to form a cysteine engineered Fab referred to as a “ThioFab.” Similarly, a parent monoclonal antibody may be engineered to form a “ThioMab.” A single site mutation yields a single engineered cysteine residue in a ThioFab, whereas a single site mutation yields two engineered cysteine residues in a ThioMab, due to the dimeric nature of the IgG antibody. DNA encoding an amino acid sequence variant of the parent polypeptide can be prepared by a variety of methods known in the art (see, e.g., the methods described in WO 2006/034488). These methods include, but are not limited to, preparation by site-directed (or oligonucleotide-mediated) mutagenesis, PCR mutagenesis, and cassette mutagenesis of an earlier prepared DNA encoding the polypeptide. Variants of recombinant antibodies may also be constructed by restriction fragment manipulation or by overlap extension PCR with synthetic oligonucleotides. ADCs of Formula (1) include, but are not limited to, antibodies that have 1, 2, 3, or 4 engineered cysteine amino acids (Lyon et al. (2012) Methods Enzymol. 502:123-38). In some embodiments, one or more free cysteine residues are already present in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, without the use of engineering, in which case the existing free cysteine residues may be used to conjugate the antibody or antigen-binding fragment to a drug moiety.
Where more than one nucleophilic group reacts with a drug-linker intermediate or a linker moiety reagent followed by drug moiety reagent, in a reaction mixture comprising multiple copies of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment and linker moiety, then the resulting product can be a mixture of ADC compounds with a distribution of one or more drug moieties attached to each copy of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment in the mixture. In some embodiments, the drug loading in a mixture of ADCs resulting from a conjugation reaction ranges from 1 to 16 drug moieties attached per antibody or antigen-binding fragment. The average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment (i.e., the average drug loading, or average p) may be calculated by any conventional method known in the art, e.g., by mass spectrometry (e.g., liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)) and/or high-performance liquid chromatography (e.g., HIC-HPLC). In some embodiments, the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment is determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). In some embodiments, the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment is from about 1.5 to about 3.5, about 2.5 to about 4.5, about 3.5 to about 5.5, about 4.5 to about 6.5, about 5.5 to about 7.5, about 6.5 to about 8.5, or about 7.5 to about 9.5. In some embodiments, the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment is from about 2 to about 4, about 3 to about 5, about 4 to about 6, about 5 to about 7, about 6 to about 8, about 7 to about 9, about 2 to about 8, or about 4 to about 8.

In some embodiments, the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment is 2.
In some embodiments, the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment is about 4. In some embodiments, the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment is about 3.5, about 3.6, about 3.7, about 3.8, about 3.9, about 4, about 4.1, about 4.2, about 4.3, about 4.4, or about 4.5. In some embodiments, the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment is 4.
In some embodiments, the term “about,” as used with respect to the average number of drug moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment, means plus or minus 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, or 1%. In one embodiment, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 10% more or less than the specified value. In another embodiment, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 5% more or less than the specified value. In another embodiment, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 1% more or less than the specified value.
Individual ADC compounds, or “species,” may be identified in the mixture by mass spectroscopy and separated by, e.g., UPLC or HPLC, e.g. hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC-HPLC). In some embodiments, a homogeneous or nearly homogenous ADC product with a single loading value may be isolated from the conjugation mixture, e.g., by electrophoresis or chromatography.
In some embodiments, higher drug loading (e.g.,p>16) may cause aggregation, insolubility, toxicity, or loss of cellular permeability of certain antibody-drug conjugates. Higher drug loading may also negatively affect the pharmacokinetics (e.g., clearance) of certain ADCs. In some embodiments, lower drug loading (e.g., p<2) may reduce the potency of certain ADCs against target-expressing cells. In some embodiments, the drug loading for an ADC of the present disclosure ranges from about 2 to about 16, about 2 to about 10, about 2 to about 8; from about 2 to about 6; from about 2 to about 5; from about 3 to about 5; from about 2 to about 4; or from about 4 to about 8.
In some embodiments, a drug loading and/or an average drug loading of about 2 is achieved, e.g., using partial reduction of intrachain disulfides on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, and provides beneficial properties. In some embodiments, a drug loading and/or an average drug loading of about 4 or about 6 or about 8 is achieved, e.g., using partial reduction of intrachain disulfides on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, and provides beneficial properties. In some embodiments, a drug loading and/or an average drug loading of less than about 2 may result in an unacceptably high level of unconjugated antibody species, which can compete with the ADC for binding to a target antigen and/or provide for reduced treatment efficacy. In some embodiments, a drug loading and/or average drug loading of more than about 16 may result in an unacceptably high level of product heterogeneity and/or ADC aggregation. A drug loading and/or an average drug loading of more than about 16 may also affect stability of the ADC, due to loss of one or more chemical bonds required to stabilize the antibody or antigen-binding fragment.
The present disclosure includes methods of producing the described ADCs. Briefly, the ADCs comprise an antibody or antigen-binding fragment as the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, a drug moiety (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor), and a linker that joins the drug moiety and the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the ADCs can be prepared using a linker having reactive functionalities for covalently attaching to the drug moiety and to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is functionalized to prepare a functional group that is reactive with a linker or a drug-linker intermediate. For example, in some embodiments, a cysteine thiol of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment can form a bond with a reactive functional group of a linker or a drug-linker intermediate to make an ADC. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is prepared with bacterial transglutaminase (BTG) -reactive glutamines specifically functionalized with an amine containing cyclooctyne BCN (N-[(1R,8S,9s)-Bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yn-9-ylmethyloxycarbonyl]-1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane) moiety. In some embodiments, site-specific conjugation of a linker or a drug-linker intermediate to a BCN moiety of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment is performed, e.g., as described and exemplified herein. The generation of the ADCs can be accomplished by techniques known to the skilled artisan.
In some embodiments, an ADC is produced by contacting an antibody or antigen-binding fragment with a linker and a drug moiety (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor) in a sequential manner, such that the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is covalently linked to the linker first, and then the pre-formed antibody-linker intermediate reacts with the drug moiety. The antibody-linker intermediate may or may not be subjected to a purification step prior to contacting the drug moiety. In other embodiments, an ADC is produced by contacting an antibody or antigen-binding fragment with a linker-drug compound pre-formed by reacting a linker with a drug moiety. The pre-formed linker-drug compound may or may not be subjected to a purification step prior to contacting the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In other embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment contacts the linker and the drug moiety in one reaction mixture, allowing simultaneous formation of the covalent bonds between the antibody or antigen-binding fragment and the linker, and between the linker and the drug moiety. This method of producing ADCs may include a reaction, wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment contacts the antibody or antigen-binding fragment prior to the addition of the linker to the reaction mixture, and vice versa. In some embodiments, an ADC is produced by reacting an antibody or antigen-binding fragment with a linker joined to a drug moiety, such as a Bcl-xL inhibitor, under conditions that allow conjugation.
The ADCs prepared according to the methods described above may be subjected to a purification step. The purification step may involve any biochemical methods known in the art for purifying proteins, or any combination of methods thereof. These include, but are not limited to, tangential flow filtration (TFF), affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, any charge or isoelectric point-based chromatography, mixed mode chromatography, e.g., CHT (ceramic hydroxyapatite), hydrophobic interaction chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, dialysis, filtration, selective precipitation, or any combination thereof.
Disclosed herein are methods of using the compositions described herein, e.g., the disclosed ADC compounds and compositions, in treating a subject for a disorder, e.g., a cancer. Compositions, e.g., ADCs, may be administered alone or in combination with at least one additional inactive and/or active agent, e.g., at least one additional therapeutic agent, and may be administered in any pharmaceutically acceptable formulation, dosage, and dosing regimen. Treatment efficacy may be evaluated for toxicity as well as indicators of efficacy and adjusted accordingly. Efficacy measures include, but are not limited to, a cytostatic and/or cytotoxic effect observed in vitro or in vivo, reduced tumor volume, tumor growth inhibition, and/or prolonged survival.
Methods of determining whether an ADC exerts a cytostatic and/or cytotoxic effect on a cell are known. For example, the cytotoxic or cytostatic activity of an ADC can be measured by, e.g., exposing mammalian cells expressing a target antigen of the ADC in a cell culture medium; culturing the cells for a period from about 6 hours to about 6 days; and measuring cell viability (e.g., using a CellTiter-Glo® (CTG) or MTT cell viability assay). Cell-based in vitro assays may also be used to measure viability (proliferation), cytotoxicity, and induction of apoptosis (caspase activation) of the ADC.
For determining cytotoxicity, necrosis or apoptosis (programmed cell death) may be measured. Necrosis is typically accompanied by increased permeability of the plasma membrane, swelling of the cell, and rupture of the plasma membrane. Apoptosis can be quantitated, for example, by measuring DNA fragmentation. Commercial photometric methods for the quantitative in vitro determination of DNA fragmentation are available. Examples of such assays, including TUNEL (which detects incorporation of labeled nucleotides in fragmented DNA) and ELISA-based assays, are described in Biochemica (1999) 2:34-7 (Roche Molecular Biochemicals).
Apoptosis may also be determined by measuring morphological changes in a cell. For example, as with necrosis, loss of plasma membrane integrity can be determined by measuring uptake of certain dyes (e.g., a fluorescent dye such as, for example, acridine orange or ethidium bromide). A method for measuring apoptotic cell number has been described by Duke and Cohen, Current Protocols in Immunology (Coligan et al., eds. (1992) pp. 3.17.1-3.17.16). Cells also can be labeled with a DNA dye (e.g., acridine orange, ethidium bromide, or propidium iodide) and the cells observed for chromatin condensation and margination along the inner nuclear membrane. Apoptosis may also be determined, in some embodiments, by screening for caspase activity. In some embodiments, a Caspase-Glo® Assay can be used to measure activity of caspase-3 and caspase-7. In some embodiments, the assay provides a luminogenic caspase-3/7 substrate in a reagent optimized for caspase activity, luciferase activity, and cell lysis. In some embodiments, adding Caspase-Glo® 3/7 Reagent in an “add-mix-measure” format may result in cell lysis, followed by caspase cleavage of the substrate and generation of a “glow-type” luminescent signal, produced by luciferase. In some embodiments, luminescence may be proportional to the amount of caspase activity present, and can serve as an indicator of apoptosis. Other morphological changes that can be measured to determine apoptosis include, e.g., cytoplasmic condensation, increased membrane blebbing, and cellular shrinkage. Determination of any of these effects on cancer cells indicates that an ADC is useful in the treatment of cancers.
Cell viability may be measured, e.g., by determining in a cell the uptake of a dye such as neutral red, trypan blue, Crystal Violet, or ALAMARTm blue (see, e.g., Page et al. (1993) Intl J Oncology 3:473-6). In such an assay, the cells are incubated in media containing the dye, the cells are washed, and the remaining dye, reflecting cellular uptake of the dye, is measured spectrophotometrically.
Cell viability may also be measured, e.g., by quantifying ATP, an indicator of metabolically active cells. In some embodiments, in vitro potency and/or cell viability of prepared ADCs or Bcl-xL inhibitor compounds may be assessed using a CellTiter-Glo® (CTG) cell viability assay, as described in the examples provided herein. In this assay, in some embodiments, the single reagent (CellTiter-Glo® Reagent) is added directly to cells cultured in serum-supplemented medium. The addition of reagent results in cell lysis and generation of a luminescent signal proportional to the amount of ATP present. The amount of ATP is directly proportional to the number of cells present in culture
Cell viability may also be measured, e.g., by measuring the reduction of tetrazolium salts. In some embodiments, in vitro potency and/or cell viability of prepared ADCs or Bcl-xL inhibitor compounds may be assessed using an MTT cell viability assay, as described in the examples provided herein. In this assay, in some embodiments, the yellow tetrazolium MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) is reduced by metabolically active cells, in part by the action of dehydrogenase enzymes, to generate reducing equivalents such as NADH and NADPH. The resulting intracellular purple formazan can then be solubilized and quantified by spectrophotometric means.
In certain aspects, the present disclosure features a method of killing, inhibiting or modulating the growth of a cancer cell or tissue by disrupting the expression and/or activity of Bcl-xL and/or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof. The method may be used with any subject where disruption of Bcl-xL expression and/or activity provides a therapeutic benefit. Subjects that may benefit from disrupting Bcl-xL expression and/or activity include, but are not limited to, those having or at risk of having a cancer such as a tumor or a hematological cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a breast cancer, multiple myeloma, plasma cell myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma, sarcoma, gastric cancer, bladder cancer, brain cancer, bone marrow cancer, cervical cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, hepatocellular cancer, lymphoblastic leukemia including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, lymphoid malignancies of T-cell or B-cell origin, melanoma, myelogenous leukemia, myeloma, oral cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, small cell lung cancer, spleen cancer, or head and neck cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a lymphoma or gastric cancer.
In some embodiments, the disclosed ADCs may be administered in any cell or tissue that expresses BCMA, such as a BCMA-expressing cancer cell or tissue. An exemplary embodiment includes a method of killing a BCMA-expressing cancer cell or tissue. The method may be used with any cell or tissue that expresses BCMA, such as a cancerous cell or a metastatic lesion. Non-limiting examples of BCMA-expressing cancers include multiple myeloma (Cho et al. (2018) Front Immunol. 9:1821). Non-limiting examples of BCMA-expressing cells include NCI-H929 multiple myeloma cells, and cells comprising a recombinant nucleic acid encoding BCMA or a portion thereof.
In some embodiments, the disclosed ADCs may be administered in any cell or tissue that expresses CD33, such as a CD33-expressing cancer cell or tissue. An exemplary embodiment includes a method of killing a CD33-expressing cancer cell or tissue. The method may be used with any cell or tissue that expresses CD33, such as a cancerous cell or a metastatic lesion. Non-limiting examples of CD33-expressing cancers include colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia) (Human Protein Atlas; Walter (2014) Expert Opin Ther Targets 18(7):715-8). Non-limiting examples of CD33-expressing cells include MOLM-13 leukemia cells, and cells comprising a recombinant nucleic acid encoding CD33 or a portion thereof.
In some embodiments, the disclosed ADCs may be administered in any cell or tissue that expresses PCAD, such as a PCAD-expressing cancer cell or tissue. An exemplary embodiment includes a method of killing a PCAD-expressing cancer cell or tissue. The method may be used with any cell or tissue that expresses PCAD, such as a cancerous cell or a metastatic lesion. Non-limiting examples of PCAD-expressing cancers include breast cancer, gastric cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, and melanoma (Vieira and Paredes (2015) Mol Cancer 14:178).
In some embodiments, the disclosed ADCs may be administered in any cell or tissue that expresses HER2, such as a HER2-expressing cancer cell or tissue. An exemplary embodiment includes a method of killing a HER2-expressing cancer cell or tissue. The method may be used with any cell or tissue that expresses HER2, such as a cancerous cell or a metastatic lesion. Non-limiting examples of HER2-expressing cancers include breast cancer, gastric cancer, bladder cancer, urothelial cell carcinoma, esophageal cancer, lung cancer (e.g., lung adenocarcinoma), uterine cancer (e.g., uterine serous endometrial carcinoma), salivary duct carcinoma, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer (English et al. (2013) Mol Diagn Ther. 17:85-99). Non-limiting examples of HER2-expressing cells include HCC1954 and HCC2218 breast cancer cells, and cells comprising a recombinant nucleic acid encoding HER2 or a portion thereof.
Exemplary methods include the steps of contacting a cell with an ADC, as described herein, in an effective amount, i.e., an amount sufficient to kill the cell. The method can be used on cells in culture, e.g., in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo, or in situ. For example, cells that express HER2 (e.g., cells collected by biopsy of a tumor or metastatic lesion; cells from an established cancer cell line; or recombinant cells), can be cultured in vitro in culture medium and the contacting step can be affected by adding the ADC to the culture medium. The method will result in killing of cells expressing HER2, including in particular cancer cells expressing HER2. Alternatively, the ADC can be administered to a subject by any suitable administration route (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, or direct contact with a tumor tissue) to have an effect in vivo. This approach can be used for antibodies targeting other cell surface antigens (e.g., EGFR, CD7, HER2).
The in vivo effect of a disclosed ADC therapeutic composition can be evaluated in a suitable animal model. For example, xenogeneic cancer models can be used, wherein cancer explants or passaged xenograft tissues are introduced into immune compromised animals, such as nude or SCID mice (Klein et al. (1997) Nature Med. 3:402-8). Efficacy may be predicted using assays that measure inhibition of tumor formation, tumor regression or metastasis, and the like.
In vivo assays that evaluate the promotion of tumor death by mechanisms such as apoptosis may also be used. In some embodiments, xenografts from tumor bearing mice treated with the therapeutic composition can be examined for the presence of apoptotic foci and compared to untreated control xenograft-bearing mice. The extent to which apoptotic foci are found in the tumors of the treated mice provides an indication of the therapeutic efficacy of the composition.
Further provided herein are methods of treating a disorder, e.g., a cancer. The compositions described herein, e.g., the ADCs disclosed herein, can be administered to a non-human mammal or human subject for therapeutic purposes. The therapeutic methods include administering to a subject having or suspected of having a cancer a therapeutically effective amount of a composition comprising an Bcl-xL inhibitor, e.g., an ADC where the inhibitor is linked to a targeting antibody that binds to an antigen (1) expressed on a cancer cell, (2) is accessible to binding, and/or (3) is localized or predominantly expressed on a cancer cell surface as compared to a non-cancer cell.

Also provided herein are methods of determining whether a subject having or suspected of having a cancer will be responsive to treatment with the disclosed ADCs and compositions. An exemplary embodiment is a method of determining whether a subject having or suspected of having a cancer will be responsive to treatment with an ADC, composition, or pharmaceutical composition (e.g., any of the exemplary ADCs, compositions, or pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein) by providing a biological sample from the subject; contacting the sample with the ADC; and detecting binding of the ADC to cancer cells in the sample. In some embodiments, the sample is a tissue biopsy sample, a blood sample, or a bone marrow sample. In some embodiments, the method comprises providing a biological sample from the subject; contacting the sample with the ADC; and detecting one or more markers of cancer cell death in the sample (e.g., increased expression of one or more apoptotic markers, reduced expansion of a cancer cell population in culture, etc.).
Further provided herein are therapeutic uses of the disclosed ADCs and compositions. An exemplary embodiment is an ADC, composition, or pharmaceutical composition (e.g., any of the exemplary ADCs, compositions, or pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein) for use in treating a subject having or suspected of having a cancer (e.g., a BCMA-expressing cancer, a CD33-expressing cancer, a PCAD-expressing cancer, a HER2-expressing cancer). Another exemplary embodiment is a use of an ADC, composition, or pharmaceutical composition (e.g., any of the exemplary ADCs, compositions, or pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein) in treating a subject having or suspected of having a cancer (e.g., a BCMA-expressing cancer, a CD33-expressing cancer, a PCAD-expressing cancer, a HER2-expressing cancer). Another exemplary embodiment is a use of an ADC, composition, or pharmaceutical composition (e.g., any of the exemplary ADCs, compositions, or pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein) in a method of manufacturing a medicament for treating a subject having or suspected of having a cancer (e.g., a BCMA-expressing cancer, a CD33-expressing cancer, a PCAD-expressing cancer, a HER2-expressing cancer). Methods for identifying subjects having cancers that express a target antigen (e.g., EGFR, CD7, or HER2) are known in the art and may be used to identify suitable patients for treatment with a disclosed ADC compound or composition.
Moreover, ADCs of the present disclosure may be administered to a non-human mammal expressing an antigen with which the ADC is capable of binding for veterinary purposes or as an animal model of human disease. Regarding the latter, such animal models may be useful for evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of the disclosed ADCs (e.g., testing of dosages and time courses of administration).
The therapeutic compositions used in the practice of the foregoing methods may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier suitable for the desired delivery method. An exemplary embodiment is a pharmaceutical composition comprising an ADC of the present disclosure and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g., one suitable for a chosen means of administration, e.g., intravenous administration. The pharmaceutical composition may also comprise one or more additional inactive and/or therapeutic agents that are suitable for treating or preventing, for example, a cancer (e.g., a standard-of-care agent, etc.). The pharmaceutical composition may also comprise one or more carrier, excipient, and/or stabilizer components, and the like. Methods of formulating such pharmaceutical compositions and suitable formulations are known in the art (see, e.g., “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences,” Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA).
Suitable carriers include any material that, when combined with the therapeutic composition, retains the anti-tumor function of the therapeutic composition and is generally non-reactive with the patient's immune system. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like that are physiologically compatible. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include one or more of water, saline, phosphate buffered saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol, mesylate salt, and the like, as well as combinations thereof. In many cases, isotonic agents are included, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, or sodium chloride in the composition. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may further comprise minor amounts of auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, preservatives or buffers, which enhance the shelf life or effectiveness of the ADC.
A pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure can be administered by a variety of methods known in the art. The route and/or mode of administration may vary depending upon the desired results. In some embodiments, the therapeutic formulation is solubilized and administered via any route capable of delivering the therapeutic composition to the cancer site. Potentially effective routes of administration include, but are not limited to, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous), intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intratumor, intradermal, intraorgan, orthotopic, and the like. In some embodiments, the administration is intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular. The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier should be suitable for the route of administration, e.g., intravenous or subcutaneous administration (e.g., by injection or infusion). Depending on the route of administration, the active compound(s), i.e., the ADC and/or any additional therapeutic agent, may be coated in a material to protect the compound(s) from the action of acids and other natural conditions that may inactivate the compound(s). Administration can be either systemic or local.
The therapeutic compositions disclosed herein may be sterile and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage, and may be in a variety of forms. These include, for example, liquid, semi-solid, and solid dosage forms, such as liquid solutions (e.g., injectable and infusible solutions), dispersions or suspensions, tablets, pills, powders, liposomes, and suppositories. The form depends on the intended mode of administration and therapeutic application. In some embodiments, the disclosed ADCs can be incorporated into a pharmaceutical composition suitable for parenteral administration. The injectable solution may be composed of either a liquid or lyophilized dosage form in a flint or amber vial, ampule, or pre-filled syringe, or other known delivery or storage device. In some embodiments, one or more of the ADCs or pharmaceutical compositions is supplied as a dry sterilized lyophilized powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container and can be reconstituted (e.g., with water or saline) to the appropriate concentration for administration to a subject.
Typically, a therapeutically effective amount or efficacious amount of a disclosed composition, e.g., a disclosed ADC, is employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure. The composition, e.g., one comprising an ADC, may be formulated into a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form by conventional methods known in the art. Dosages and administration protocols for the treatment of cancers using the foregoing methods will vary with the method and the target cancer, and will generally depend on a number of other factors appreciated in the art.
Dosage regimens for compositions disclosed herein, e.g., those comprising ADCs alone or in combination with at least one additional inactive and/or active therapeutic agent, may be adjusted to provide the optimum desired response (e.g., a therapeutic response). For example, a single bolus of one or both agents may be administered at one time, several divided doses may be administered over a predetermined period of time, or the dose of one or both agents may be proportionally increased or decreased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. In some embodiments, treatment involves single bolus or repeated administration of the ADC preparation via an acceptable route of administration. In some embodiments, the ADC is administered to the patient daily, weekly, monthly, or any time period in between. For any particular subject, specific dosage regimens may be adjusted over time according to the individual's need, and the professional judgment of the treating clinician. Parenteral compositions may be formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects to be treated; each unit contains a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier.
Dosage values for compositions comprising an ADC and/or any additional therapeutic agent(s), may be selected based on the unique characteristics of the active compound(s), and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved. A physician or veterinarian can start doses of the ADC employed in the pharmaceutical composition at levels lower than that required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. In general, effective doses of the compositions of the present disclosure, for the treatment of a cancer may vary depending upon many different factors, including means of administration, target site, physiological state of the patient, whether the patient is human or an animal, other medications administered, and whether treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic. The selected dosage level may also depend upon a variety of pharmacokinetic factors including the activity of the particular compositions of the present disclosure employed, or the ester, salt, or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compositions employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors. Treatment dosages may be titrated to optimize safety and efficacy.
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of compounds provided herein can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell culture or in animal models. For example, LD50, ED50, EC50, and IC50 may be determined, and the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects (LD50/ED50) may be calculated as the therapeutic index. The data obtained from in vitro and in vivo assays can be used in estimating or formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. For example, the compositions and methods disclosed herein may initially be evaluated in xenogeneic cancer models (e.g., an NCI-H929 multiple myeloma mouse model).
In some embodiments, an ADC or composition comprising an ADC is administered on a single occasion. In other embodiments, an ADC or composition comprising an ADC is administered on multiple occasions. Intervals between single dosages can be, e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Intervals can also be irregular, based on measuring blood levels of the administered agent (e.g., the ADC) in the patient in order to maintain a relatively consistent plasma concentration of the agent. The dosage and frequency of administration of an ADC or composition comprising an ADC may also vary depending on whether the treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic. In prophylactic applications, a relatively low dosage may be administered at relatively infrequent intervals over a long period of time. Some patients continue to receive treatment for the rest of their lives. In therapeutic applications, a relatively higher dosage at relatively shorter intervals is sometimes required until progression of the disease is reduced or terminated, and preferably until the patient shows partial or complete amelioration of one or more symptoms of disease. Thereafter, the patient may be administered a lower, e.g., prophylactic regime.
The above therapeutic approaches can be combined with any one of a wide variety of additional surgical, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy regimens. In some embodiments, the ADCs or compositions disclosed herein are co-formulated and/or co-administered with one or more additional therapeutic agents, e.g., one or more chemotherapeutic agents, one or more standard-of-care agents for the particular condition being treated.
Kits for use in the therapeutic and/or diagnostic applications described herein are also provided. Such kits may comprise a carrier, package, or container that is compartmentalized to receive one or more containers such as vials, tubes, and the like, each of the container(s) comprising one of the separate elements to be used in a method disclosed herein. A label may be present on or with the container(s) to indicate that an ADC or composition within the kit is used for a specific therapy or non-therapeutic application, such as a prognostic, prophylactic, diagnostic, or laboratory application. A label may also indicate directions for either in vivo or in vitro use, such as those described herein. Directions and or other information may also be included on an insert(s) or label(s), which is included with or on the kit. The label may be on or associated with the container. A label may be on a container when letters, numbers, or other characters forming the label are molded or etched into the container itself. A label may be associated with a container when it is present within a receptacle or carrier that also holds the container, e.g., as a package insert.

In some embodiments, a kit comprises an ADC or composition comprising an ADC. In some embodiments, the kit further comprises one or more additional components, including but not limited to: instructions for use; other reagents, e.g., a therapeutic agent (e.g., a standard-of-care agent); devices, containers, or other materials for preparing the ADC for administration; pharmaceutically acceptable carriers; and devices, containers, or other materials for administering the ADC to a subject. Instructions for use can include guidance for therapeutic applications including suggested dosages and/or modes of administration, e.g., in a patient having or suspected of having a cancer. In some embodiments, the kit comprises an ADC and instructions for use of the ADC in treating, preventing, and/or diagnosing a cancer.
It is known that elevated Bcl-xL expression correlates with resistance to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that may not be sufficiently effective as monotherapy to treat cancer can be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents (including non-targeted and targeted therapeutic agents) or radiation therapy (including radioligand therapy) to provide therapeutic benefit. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the ADCs described herein sensitize tumor cells to the treatment with other therapeutic agents (including standard of care chemotherapeutic agents to which the tumor cells may have developed resistance) and/or radiation therapy. In some embodiments, antibody drug conjugates described herein, are administered to a subject having cancer in an amount effective to sensitize the tumor cells. As used herein, the term “sensitize” means that the treatment with ADC increases the potency or efficacy of the treatment with other therapeutic agents and/or radiation therapy against tumor cells.
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods of treatment wherein the antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein are administered in combination with one or more (e.g., 1 or 2) additional therapeutic agents. Exemplary combination partners are disclosed herein.

The present invention provides various methods of conjugating Linker-Drug groups of the invention to antibodies or antibody fragments to produce Antibody Drug Conjugates which comprise a linker having one or more hydrophilic moieties.
A general reaction scheme for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (E′) is shown in Scheme 2 below:
where: RG2 is a reactive group which reacts with a compatible R1 group to form a corresponding R100 group (such groups are illustrated in Table 8 and Table 9). D, R1, L1, Lp, L2, L3, R2, A, G, Ab, y and R100are as defined herein.
Scheme 3 further illustrates this general approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (E′), wherein the antibody comprises reactive groups (RG2) which react with an R1 group (as defined herein) to covalently attach the Linker-Drug group to the antibody via an R100 group (as defined herein). For illustrative purposes only Scheme 3 shows the antibody having four RG2 groups.
In one aspect, Linker-Drug groups are conjugated to antibodies via modified cysteine residues in the antibodies (see for example WO2014/124316). Scheme 4 illustrates this approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (E′) wherein a free thiol group generated from the engineered cysteine residues in the antibody react with an R1 group (where R1 is a maleimide) to covalently attach the Linker-Drug group to the antibody via an R100 group (where R100 is a succinimide ring). For illustrative purposes only Scheme 4 shows the antibody having four free thiol groups.
In another aspect, Linker-Drug groups are conjugated to antibodies via lysine residues in the antibodies. Scheme 5 illustrates this approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (E′) wherein a free amine group from the lysine residues in the antibody react with an R1 group (where R1 is an NHS ester, a pentafluorophenyl or a tetrafluorophenyl) to covalently attach the Linker-Drug group to the antibody via an R1° ° group (where R100 is an amide). For illustrative purposes only Scheme 5 shows the antibody having four amine groups.
In another aspect, Linker-Drug groups are conjugated to antibodies via formation of an oxime bridge at the naturally occurring disulfide bridges of an antibody. The oxime bridge is formed by initially creating a ketone bridge by reduction of an interchain disulfide bridge of the antibody and re-bridging using a 1,3-dihaloacetone (e.g. 1,3-dichloroacetone). Subsequent reaction with a Linker-Drug group comprising a hydroxyl amine thereby form an oxime linkage (oxime bridge) which attaches the Linker-Drug group to the antibody (see for example WO2014/083505). Scheme 6 illustrates this approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (E′).
A general reaction scheme for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (F′) is shown in Scheme 7 below:
where: RG2 is a reactive group which reacts with a compatible R1 group to form a corresponding R100 group (such groups are illustrated in Table 8 and Table 9). D, R1, L1, Lp, Ab, y and R100are as defined herein.
Scheme 8 further illustrates this general approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (F′), wherein the antibody comprises reactive groups (RG2) which react with an R1 group (as defined herein) to covalently attach the Linker-Drug group to the antibody via an R100 group (as defined herein). For illustrative purposes only Scheme 8 shows the antibody having four RG2 groups.
In one aspect, Linker-Drug groups are conjugated to antibodies via modified cysteine residues in the antibodies (see for example WO2014/124316). Scheme 9 illustrates this approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (F′) wherein a free thiol group generated from the engineered cysteine residues in the antibody react with an R1 group (where R1 is a maleimide) to covalently attach the Linker-Drug group to the antibody via an R100 group (where R100 is a succinimide ring). For illustrative purposes only Scheme 9 shows the antibody having four free thiol groups.
In another aspect, Linker-Drug groups are conjugated to antibodies via lysine residues in the antibodies. Scheme 10 illustrates this approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (F′) wherein a free amine group from the lysine residues in the antibody react with an R1 group (where R1 is an NHS ester, a pentafluorophenyl or a tetrafluorophenyl) to covalently attach the Linker-Drug group to the antibody via an R1° ° group (where R100 is an amide). For illustrative purposes only Scheme 10 shows the antibody having four amine groups.
In another aspect, Linker-Drug groups are conjugated to antibodies via formation of an oxime bridge at the naturally occurring disulfide bridges of an antibody. The oxime bridge is formed by initially creating a ketone bridge by reduction of an interchain disulfide bridge of the antibody and re-bridging using a 1,3-dihaloacetone (e.g. 1,3-dichloroacetone). Subsequent reaction with a Linker-Drug group comprising a hydroxyl amine thereby form an oxime linkage (oxime bridge) which attaches the Linker-Drug group to the antibody (see for example WO2014/083505). Scheme 11 illustrates this approach for the formation of Antibody Drug Conjugates of Formula (F′).
Provided are also protocols for some aspects of analytical methodology for evaluating antibody conjugates of the invention. Such analytical methodology and results can demonstrate that the conjugates have favorable properties, for example properties that would make them easier to manufacture, easier to administer to patients, more efficacious, and/or potentially safer for patients. One example is the determination of molecular size by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) wherein the amount of desired antibody species in a sample is determined relative to the amount of high molecular weight contaminants (e.g., dimer, multimer, or aggregated antibody) or low molecular weight contaminants (e.g., antibody fragments, degradation products, or individual antibody chains) present in the sample. In general, it is desirable to have higher amounts of monomer and lower amounts of, for example, aggregated antibody due to the impact of, for example, aggregates on other properties of the antibody sample such as but not limited to clearance rate, immunogenicity, and toxicity. A further example is the determination of the hydrophobicity by hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) wherein the hydrophobicity of a sample is assessed relative to a set of standard antibodies of known properties. In general, it is desirable to have low hydrophobicity due to the impact of hydrophobicity on other properties of the antibody sample such as but not limited to aggregation, aggregation over time, adherence to surfaces, hepatotoxicity, clearance rates, and pharmacokinetic exposure. See Damle, N.K., Nat Biotechnol. 2008; 26(8):884-885; Singh, S.K., Pharm Res. 2015; 32(11):3541-71. When measured by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, higher hydrophobicity index scores (i.e. elution from HIC column faster) reflect lower hydrophobicity of the conjugates. As shown in Examples below, a majority of the tested antibody conjugates showed a hydrophobicity index of greater than 0.8. In some embodiments, provided are antibody conjugates having a hydrophobicity index of 0.8 or greater, as determined by hydrophobic interaction chromatography.

The mAb was bound on rmp Protein A resin (GE Healthcare) at a ratio of 10 mg Ab to 1 ml resin in PBS by mixing in Biorad sized disposable column for 30 minutes. To deblock the reactive cysteines, cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate was added to a final concentration of 20 mM. The mixture was agitated at room temperature for 30 minutes followed by the washing of the resin with 5×50 CV of PBS on a vacuum manifold. The resin was then resuspended in an equal volume of PBS containing 250 nM of CuCl2 and incubated for 1.5 h.

Then, this solution was incubated with 10-fold molar excess of DBCO-containing Tentagel resin (0.1-0.2 mmol/g, Iris Biotech, CS-0477.0500) for 6 h in order to remove the excess of the linker-payload. The solution was centrifuged (14000 G at 4° C.) for 20 minutes and the supernatant was loaded onto HiLoad 26/600 Superdex 200 pg (GE Healthcare, 28989336) SEC chromatography column.

Drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) of exemplary ADCs was determined by liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with one of the following methods (i.e., LC-I, LC-II, LC-III, LC-IV and LC-V). For LC-I, LC-II, LC-III and LC-IV methods, mobile phase A was purified MS grade water (Biosolve, Dieuze, France, 00232141B1BS), mobile phase B was MS grade acetonitrile (Biosolve, Dieuze, France, 0001204101BS) and mobile phase D purified MS grade water supplemented with 1% of FA (Honeywell/Fluka, Bucharest, Romania, 56302). Mobile phase D was fixed at 10% in order to maintain a 0.1% FA mobile phase composition. Alternatively, for LC-IV method, mobile phase A was ultrapure water obtained with Milli-Q® system and mobile phase B was MS grade acetonitrile (Biosolve, Dieuze, France, 0001204101BS) supplemented with 0.1% of FA (Fisher Chemical: A117-50-50ML).

For analysis in both intact and reduced conditions, a desalting step was performed for 1.5 min at 20% of B with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. Elution step was performed with a gradient from 1.5 min at 20% B to 16.5 min at 50% B with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. A wash step was set from 16.8 min to 18.8 min at 90% B with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. Finally, a conditioning step was used at 19.1 min for 1.9 min at 20% B with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min (Total run time=21 min).
LC-IV (80% Phase A (Water/0.1% AF), 20% Phase B (Acetonitrile/0.1%AF)): ADC was loaded onto a Bioresolve RP mAb Polyphenyl,column 450A, 2.7 μm, 2.1*150 mm (Waters, Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France, 186008946).

LC-V (80% Phase A (Water/0.1% DFA), 20% Phase B (Acetonitrile/0.1%DFA)): ADC was loaded onto a Bioresolve RP mAb Polyphenyl,column 450A, 2.7 μm, 2.1*150 mm (Waters, Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France, 186008946). For analysis in both intact and reduced conditions, a desalting step was performed for 1.5 min at 20% of B with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. Elution step was performed with a gradient from 1.5 min at 20% B to 16.5 min at 50% B with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min.

Finally, a conditioning step was used at 19.2 min for 1.8 min at 20% B with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min (Total run time=21 min).
LC-MS analysis was performed using a Waters UPLC H-Class Bio chromatography system hyphenated with a Xevo G2 XS Q-TOF ESI mass spectrometer (Waters, Manchester, UK). The ADC was either analysed in intact condition (no preliminary treatment), or with a deglycosylation step using PNGase F enzyme (New England Biolabs®, P0705L) or following reduction with 5 mM (final concentration) of dithiothreitol DTT (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, 20291). Subsequently, treated ADC was analysed using one of the above-mentioned LC-I, LC-II, LC-III, LC-IV or LC-V (Table 13). Electrospray-ionization time-of-flight mass spectra of the analytes were acquired using MassLynx™ acquisition software (Waters, Manchester, UK). Then, the extracted intensity vs. m/z spectrum was deconvoluted using Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt1) method of MassLynx™ software in order to determine the mass of each intact antibody species or each reduced antibody fragment depending on the treatment. Finally, DAR was determined from the deconvoluted spectra or UV chromatogram by summing the integrated MS (total ion current) or UV (280 nm) peak area of unconjugated and conjugated given species (mAb or associated fragment). For the DAR determination by UV chromatogram, relative area percentage of each specie was multiplied by the number of drugs attached. The summed, weighted areas of every species were divided by the sum of total relative area percentage and the results produced an estimation of the final average DAR value for the full ADC. For the DAR determination by deconvoluted spectra, the percentage of each specie identified was calculated by intensity peak value from deconvoluted spectra. The percentage obtained, was multiplied by the number of drugs attached. The summed results produced an estimation of the final average DAR value for the full ADC.
Size Exclusion Chromatography: Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed for quality control of each ADCs by measuring monomer percentage of the conjugate. The analysis was performed on analytical column Superdex 200 Increase 5/150 GL (GE Healthcare, 28990945) in isocratic conditions 100% PBS pH7.4 (Sigma Life Science, P3813, 10PAK), flow 0.45 mI/min for 12 minutes. The % aggregate fraction of the conjugate sample was quantified based on the peak area absorbance at 280 nm. Its calculation was based on the ratio between the high molecular weight eluent at 280 nm divided by the sum of peak area absorbance at the same wavelength of the high molecular weight and monomeric eluents multiplied by 100.

Prior to seeding for the proliferation assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, adherent cells were lifted off tissue culture flasks using 0.25% trypsin. Cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter). Cells with higher than 85% viability were seeded for the assay.

Cells with higher than 85% viability were seeded in white clear bottom 384-well plates (Greiner cat #781098) at a density of 1000 cells per well in 50 μL of standard growth media. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator.
The ADCs were prepared in standard phosphate buffered solution to desired concentrations. A series of 10 dilutions were made for each ADC. The prepared drug treatments were then added to the cells resulting in final concentrations of 0.000005-300 nM. An acoustic transfer device (Echo555, Beckman Coulter) was used to add the ADCs to the cells. Each treatment was tested in triplicate assay plates. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight or for 5 days in a tissue culture incubator. The ability of the ADCs to inhibit cell proliferation and survival was assessed using the Promega CellTiter-Glo® proliferation assay. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading using a multimode plate reader (Pherastar, BMG). Luminescent counts of untreated cells were taken the day after seeding (Day 0 readings), and after 5 days of treatment (Day 5 readings). The Day 5 readings of the untreated cells were compared to the Day 0 readings. Assays with at least one cell doubling during the incubation period were considered valid. To evaluate the effect of the drug treatments, luminescent counts from wells containing untreated cells (100% viability) were used to normalize treated samples. The concentrations of treatment required to inhibit 50% of cell growth or survival (G150) were calculated using a four parameter logistic regression equation. The test results are shown in Tables 23, 24 and 25 below.
Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) targeting IgG, B7H3, CD56, DLK1, DLL3, EpCAM, and SEZ6 were tested against cancer cell lines obtained from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) or from other commercial cell line vendors (cor1279, ncih1436, ncih146, ncih211, ncih524). The cells were cultured in media that is optimal for their growth at 5% CO2, 37° C. in a tissue culture incubator. Prior to seeding for the proliferation assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, cells were lifted off tissue culture flasks using 0.25% trypsin. Cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter).

Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator.
The ADCs were prepared in standard phosphate buffered solution to desired concentrations. A series of 10 dilutions were made for each ADC. The prepared drug treatments were then added to the cells resulting in final concentrations of 300 nM to 0.015 nM. Combination partners (Venetoclax and Topotecan) were added at fixed concentrations. Acoustic transfer devices (Echo525, Echo550, Beckman Coulter) were used to add the ADCs or combination partners to the cells. Each treatment was tested in triplicate assay plates. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight or for 5 days in a tissue culture incubator.

The test results are shown in Tables 26-29.
The EGFR-AbA-L109A-P1 antibody drug conjugate was tested against cancer cell lines obtained from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) or alternative cell line vendor (KCLB, Korea.) The cells were cultured in media that is optimal for their growth at 5% CO2, 37° C. in a tissue culture incubator. Prior to seeding for the proliferation assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, cells were lifted off tissue culture flasks using 0.25% trypsin. Cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter). Cells with higher than 85% viability were seeded in white clear bottom 384-well plates (Greiner cat #781098) at a density of 1000 cells per well in 50 μL of standard growth media. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator.
EGFR-AbA-L109A-P1 (KJ32-26EA) and combination partner compounds were prepared at 1000X in respective diluent. The combination partners included LTT462, Trametinib, and LXH254. A series of 7 to 10 dilutions were made for each compound, centering on a previously determined cell proliferation IC50. A dose matrix was created by combining serially diluted EGFR-Aba-L109A-P1 with the serial dilution of each partner compound. An acoustic transfer device (Echo555, Beckman Coulter) was used to add 50 nL of each dilution to the cells, resulting in final concentrations ranging from 0-10 μM. Each compound was also tested as a single agent or mixture for normalization purposes. Each treatment was tested in replicate assay plates.
Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight or for 5 days in a tissue culture incubator. The ability of the ADCs and partner compounds to inhibit cell proliferation and survival was assessed using the Promega CellTiter-Glo® proliferation assay. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading using a multimode plate reader (Pherastar, BMG). Luminescent counts of untreated cells were taken the day after seeding (Day 0 readings), and after 5 days of treatment (Day 5 readings). The Day 5 readings of the untreated cells were compared to the Day 0 readings. Assays with at least one cell doubling during the incubation period were considered valid. To evaluate the effect of the drug treatments, luminescent counts from wells containing untreated cells (100% viability) were used to normalize treated samples. The percent inhibition and growth inhibition were calculated as a relative response to untreated cells after 5 days of growth. Both normalized datasets were fit using a sigmoidal response model and the Combination effect (SS) was measured as a sum of the activity over the Loewe dose additivity model as described in Lehar et al. Nature 817 Biotechnology (2009), 27(7), 659-666. The results are shown in
Efficacy of EGFR2-L109A-P1 ADC was evaluated in the H1650, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) model, in vivo after combining treatment with docetaxel.
25 mg of antibody (0.17 μmoles, 1.0 equiv.) was incubated with 2.5 ml of settled RMP Protein A resin (GE Lifesciences, 17513803) and agitated for 15 minutes. Cysteine HCl monohydrate was added to a final concentration of 20 mM and incubated with agitation for 30 min at room temperature to allow the reactive cysteines to be deblocked. The resin was washed rapidly with 50 column volumes PBS on a vacuum manifold. The resin was then resuspended in an equal volume PBS containing 250 nM CuCl2. Reformation of antibody interchain disulfides was monitored by taking time points. At each time point, 25 μL of resin slurry was removed, 1 μL of 20 mM MC-valcit-PAB-MMAE was added, and the tube flicked several times. The resin was spun down, supernatant removed, and then eluted with 50 μL Antibody elution buffer (Thermo Scientific, 21004). The resin was pelleted and the supernatant analyzed by reverse phase chromatography using an Agilent PLRP-S 4000A Sum, 4.6×50 mm column (Buffer A is water, 0.1% TFA, Buffer B Acetonitrile, 0.1% TFA, column held at 80 C, Flowrate 1.5 ml/min; Gradient 0 minutes—30%B, 5 minutes—45%B, 6.5 min—100%B, 8 minutes—100%B, 10 minutes—30%). At 90 minutes after addition of CuCl2, CuCl2 was removed by washing with 50 column volumes of PBS on a vacuum manifold and then 2.5 ml of PBS was added to resuspend. To this slurry of resin and antibody respective Linker-Payload (102 μl of a 20 mM solution in DMSO, 1.63 μmoles, 12 equiv.) was added. The resulting mixture was then incubated at ambient temperature for 3 hours. The resin was then washed with 50 column volumes PBS. The ADC was eluted from the resin with Antibody elution buffer (Thermo Scientific, 21004). The ADC was then buffer exchanged into 1X PBS (20X PBS, TeknovaP0191) by dialysis and preparative size exclusion chromatography eluted in Dulbecco's PBS pH 7.2 (Hyclone SH30028.03) to remove aggregates was performed with a HiLoad 16/600 Superdex 200 μg (GE Healthcare, 28989335). The material was then concentrated using a centrifugal concentrator using an Amicon Ultra-15, 50KDa, regenerated cellulose (Millipore, UFC0905024), to 4.5 mg/ml and filtered sterilely through 0.22 μm sterile PVDF Filter, 25 mm (Millapore, SLGV013SL) and stored at 4° C. The final yield was 17.1 mg (0.114 μmol) The following analyses were performed: analytical size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine percent monomer, mass spectroscopy (MS) to determine DAR, LAL test to determine endotoxin load and protein concentration determined by A280 utilizing extinction coefficient and molecular weight of antibody. HRMS data (protein method) indicated a dominant mass of the heavy chain+2 species, giving a DAR of -4.0 was calculated by comparing MS intensities of peaks for DAR1 DAR2 and DAR3 species. SEC indicated 1.8% aggregation, as determined by comparison of the area of the high-molecular-weight peak absorbance at 210 and 280 nm with the area of the peak absorbance for monomeric ADC.
General Methodology (1): Drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) of exemplary ADCs was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) according to the following method. For all LC methods, mobile phase A was purified MS grade water (Honeywell, LC015-1), mobile phase B was MS grade 80% Isopropanol (Honeywell LC323-1): 20% acetonitrile (Honeywell, LC015-1), LC323-1), supplemented with 1% of formic acid (FA) (Thermo Scientific, 85178). The column temperature was set at 80° C. A general MS method was optimized for all ADCs synthesized. The column used for analysis was an Agilent PLRP-S 4000 A; 2.1×150 mm, 8 um (Agilent, PL1912-3803). Flowrate used was 0.3 ml/min. The gradient used was 0-0.75 minute 95%A, 0.76-1.9 minute 75%A, 1.91-11.0 minute 50%A, 11.01-11.50 10%A, 11.51-13.50 minute 95%A,13.51-18 minute 95%A on an Acuity Bio H-Class Quaternary UPLC (Waters). MS system was Xevo G2-XS QToF ESI mass spectrometer (Waters) and data acquired from 1.5-11 minutes and masses were analyzed between 15000-80000 daltons. DAR was determined from the deconvoluted spectra or UV chromatogram by summing the integrated MS (total ion current) or UV (280 nm) peak area of unconjugated and conjugated given species (mAb or associated fragment), weighted by multiplying each area by the number of drug attached. The summed, weighted areas were divided by the sum of total area and the results produced a final average DAR value for the full ADC.
Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) (1) was performed to determine the quality of the ADCs and aggregation percentage (%) after purification. The analysis was performed on analytical column Superdex 200 Increase 5/150 GL (GE Healthcare, 28990945) in isocratic conditions 100% PBS pH 7.2 ((Hyclone SH30028.03)), flow 0.45 ml/min for 8 minutes. The % aggregate fraction of the ADC sample was quantified based on the peak area absorbance at 280 nm. Calculation was based on the ratio between the high molecular weight eluent at 280 nm divided by the sum of peak area absorbance at the same wavelength of the high molecular weight and monomeric eluents multiplied by 100%. Data was aquired on an Agilent Bio-Inert 1260 HPLC outfitted with a Wyatt miniDAWN light scattering and Treos refractive index detectors (Wyatt Technologies, Santa Barbara, CA)
All exemplified ADCs were characterized by analytical size exclusion chromatography Superdex 200 Increase 5/150 GL (GE Healthcare, 28990945) to determine monomer percentage and LC-MS for DAR determination. The average DAR values were determined using the above LC/MS methods (LC/MS I) and percentage aggregation was determined using the above SEC methods (SEC I).

EBC-1 cells were cultured at 37° C. (atmosphere of 5% CO2) in DMEM (Gibco 11965-084) supplemented with 10% FBS (HI-FBS #134K19, Tet-free). Treatment with 0.25% Trypsin (Gibco 25200-056) was used for sub-culturing. To establish EBC-1 xenografts, cells were harvested and re-suspended in a 1:1 v/v mixture of phosphate buffered saline and Matrigel. A total of 5×106 cells in a volume of 150 μL were injected subcutaneously in the flanks of female nude mice (Charles River, USA). Tumor growth was monitored regularly post cell inoculation and animals were randomized into treatment groups (n=8) with a mean tumor volume of about 210 mm3. EpCAM-DANAPA-L11C-P25 ADC, 3207-DANAPA-L11C-P25 isotype control ADC, and EpCAM-DANAPA CysMab control antibody were all dosed in combination with paclitaxel (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, Cat #: P-9600) as indicated in
Tumor volume data were analyzed for statistical difference relative to the EpCAM-DANAPA-L 11C-P25 ADC+ paclitaxel combination group. Unpaired two-tailed T-tests were used to make comparisons between groups.
As a measure of efficacy, %T/C values were calculated according to the formula:
Tumor regression was calculated according to the formula:
Δtumor volumes represent mean tumor volumes on the measurement day minus the mean tumor volume at the start of treatment. The Δtumor volume control value specified above refers to mean tumor volume changes in the vehicle group. Results are presented in Table 32 as mean±SEM.
EpCAM-DANAPA-L11C-P25 ADC dosed at 30 mg/kg in combination with paclitaxel at 12.5 mg/kg significantly (p<0.05) reduced the growth of EBC-1 tumors compared to the vehicle and docetaxel alone groups. This ADC also had significantly greater anti-tumor activity than the 3207-DANAPA-L11C-P25 isotype control ADC, and the EpCAM-DANAPA CysMab control antibody, when combined with paclitaxel. EpCAM-DANAPA-L11C-P25 induced tumor regression in combination with paclitaxel, leading to complete responses in 4/8 animals by day 32 post-first dose. However, EpCAM-DANAPA-L11C-P25 ADC alone was also able to induce tumor regression. The depth of response was slightly less than that achieved by the combination with paclitaxel, although the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.168). All treatments were well tolerated based on percent body weight changes calculated post-first dose (
