The novel features of the disclosure are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. A better understanding of the features and advantages of the present disclosure will be obtained by reference to the following detailed description that sets forth illustrative embodiments, in which the principles of the disclosure are utilized, and the accompanying drawings of which:
Multispecific antibodies combine the benefits of different binding specificities derived from two or more antibodies into a single composition. Multispecific antibodies for redirecting T cells to cancers have shown promise in both pre-clinical and clinical studies. This approach relies on binding of one antigen interacting portion of the antibody to a tumor-associated antigen or marker, while a second antigen interacting portion can bind to an effector cell antigen on a T cell, such as CD3, which then triggers cytotoxic activity. One such tumor-associated antigen is epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR is a transmembrane protein that is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family of extracellular protein ligands. EGFR is the most commonly overexpressed membrane protein in cancer. However, EGFR expression is not limited to tumors and is widely expressed throughout the body, resulting in systemic toxicities with EGFR-directed therapies.
T cell engagers (TCEs) therapeutics have several benefits including they are not cell therapies and thus can be offered as off-the-shelf therapies as opposed to chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T cell) therapies. While TCE therapeutics have displayed potent anti-tumor activity in hematological cancers, developing TCEs to treat solid tumors has faced challenges due to the limitations of prior TCE technologies, namely (i) overactivation of the immune system leading to cytokine release syndrome (CRS), (ii) on-target, healthy tissue toxicities and (iii) poor pharmacokinetics (PK) leading to short half-life. CRS arises from the systemic activation of T cells and can result in life-threatening elevations in inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Severe and acute CRS leading to dose limited toxicities and deaths have been observed upon the dosing of T cell engagers develop using other platforms to treat cancer patients in poor clinical studies. This toxicity restricts the maximum blood levels of T cell engagers that can be safely dosed. T cell engager effectiveness has also been limited because of on-target, healthy tissue toxicity. T cell engagers developed using a platform not designed for tumor-specification activation have resulted in clinicals holds and dose-limiting toxicities resulting from target expression in healthy tissues. T cell engagers have also been limited by short half-lives. T cell engagers quickly reach sub-therapeutic levels after being administered as they are quickly eliminated from the body due to their short exposure half-lives. For this reason, T cell engagers such as blinatumomab are typically administered by a low-dose, continuous infusion pump over a period of weeks to overcome the challenge of a short half-life and to maintain therapeutic levels of drug in the body. A continuous dosing regimen represents a significant burden for patients.
To overcome these challenges associated with the effectiveness of T cell engagers, described herein, are polypeptide or polypeptide complexes that comprise binding domains that selectively bind to an effector cell antigen and EGFR, in which one or more of the binding domains is selectively activated in the tumor microenvironment and the isolated polypeptide or polypeptide complex comprises a half-life extending molecule. Such modifications reduce CRS and on-target healthy tissue toxicity risk, improves stability in the bloodstream and serum half-life prior to activation. The polypeptide or polypeptide complexes described herein have activity at low levels of target expression, and are easily manufactured.
In some embodiments, the polypeptides or polypeptide complexes described herein are used in a method of treating cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer has cells that express EGFR. In some embodiments, the polypeptides or polypeptide complexes described herein are used in a method of treating colorectal cancer (CRC), squamous cell carcinoma of the head and Neck (SCCHN), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon/rectum cancer, head and neck cancer, esophagogastric cancer, liver cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, or pancreatic cancer.

As used herein, the term “percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” with respect to a sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the specific sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as EMBOSS MATCHER, EMBOSS WATER, EMBOSS STRETCHER, EMBOSS NEEDLE, EMBOSS LALIGN, BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared. In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction X/Y, where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program.

Production of Antibodies that Bind to EGFR and CD3
In some embodiments, polypeptides described herein (e.g., antibodies and its binding fragments) are produced using any method known in the art to be useful for the synthesis of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies), in particular, by chemical synthesis or by recombinant expression, and are preferably produced by recombinant expression techniques.
In some instances, an antibody or its binding fragment thereof is expressed recombinantly, and the nucleic acid encoding the antibody or its binding fragment is assembled from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides (e.g., as described in Kutmeier et al., 1994, BioTechniques 17:242), which involves the synthesis of overlapping oligonucleotides containing portions of the sequence encoding the antibody, annealing and ligation of those oligonucleotides, and then amplification of the ligated oligonucleotides by PCR.
Alternatively, a nucleic acid molecule encoding an antibody is optionally generated from a suitable source (e.g., an antibody cDNA library, or cDNA library generated from any tissue or cells expressing the immunoglobulin) by PCR amplification using synthetic primers hybridizable to the 3′ and 5′ ends of the sequence or by cloning using an oligonucleotide probe specific for the particular gene sequence.
In some instances, an antibody or its binding is optionally generated by immunizing an animal, such as a mouse, to generate polyclonal antibodies or, more preferably, by generating monoclonal antibodies, e.g., as described by Kohler and Milstein (1975, Nature 256:495-497) or, as described by Kozbor et al. (1983, Immunology Today 4:72) or Cole et al. (1985 in Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp. 77-96). Alternatively, a clone encoding at least the Fab portion of the antibody is optionally obtained by screening Fab expression libraries (e.g., as described in Huse et al., 1989, Science 246:1275-1281) for clones of Fab fragments that bind the specific antigen or by screening antibody libraries (See, e.g., Clackson et al., 1991, Nature 352:624; Hane et al., 1997 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:4937).
In some embodiments, techniques developed for the production of “chimeric antibodies” (Morrison et al., 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 81:851-855; Neuberger et al., 1984, Nature 312:604-608; Takeda et al., 1985, Nature 314:452-454) by splicing genes from a mouse antibody molecule of appropriate antigen specificity together with genes from a human antibody molecule of appropriate biological activity are used. A chimeric antibody is a molecule in which different portions are derived from different animal species, such as those having a variable region derived from a murine monoclonal antibody and a human immunoglobulin constant region.
In some embodiments, techniques described for the production of single chain antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,778; Bird, 1988, Science 242:423-42; Huston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883; and Ward et al., 1989, Nature 334:544-54) are adapted to produce single chain antibodies. Single chain antibodies are formed by linking the heavy and light chain fragments of the Fv region via an amino acid bridge, resulting in a single chain polypeptide. Techniques for the assembly of functional Fv fragments in E. coli are also optionally used (Skerra et al., 1988, Science 242:1038-1041).
In some embodiments, an expression vector comprising the nucleotide sequence of an antibody or the nucleotide sequence of an antibody is transferred to a host cell by conventional techniques (e.g., electroporation, liposomal transfection, and calcium phosphate precipitation), and the transfected cells are then cultured by conventional techniques to produce the antibody. In specific embodiments, the expression of the antibody is regulated by a constitutive, an inducible or a tissue, specific promoter.
In some embodiments, a variety of host-expression vector systems is utilized to express an antibody, or its binding fragment described herein. Such host-expression systems represent vehicles by which the coding sequences of the antibody is produced and subsequently purified, but also represent cells that are, when transformed or transfected with the appropriate nucleotide coding sequences, express an antibody or its binding fragment in situ. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., E. coli and B. subtilis) transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA expression vectors containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces Pichia) transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; insect cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; or mammalian cell systems (e.g., COS, CHO, BH, 293, 293T, 3T3 cells) harboring recombinant expression constructs containing promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g. the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter).
For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is preferred. In some instances, cell lines that stably express an antibody are optionally engineered. Rather than using expression vectors that contain viral origins of replication, host cells are transformed with DNA controlled by appropriate expression control elements (e.g., promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, etc.), and a selectable marker. Following the introduction of the foreign DNA, engineered cells are then allowed to grow for 1-2 days in an enriched media, and then are switched to a selective media. The selectable marker in the recombinant plasmid confers resistance to the selection and allows cells to stably integrate the plasmid into their chromosomes and grow to form foci that in turn are cloned and expanded into cell lines. This method can advantageously be used to engineer cell lines which express the antibody or its binding fragments.
In some instances, a number of selection systems are used, including but not limited to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler et al., 1977, Cell 11:223), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska & Szybalski, 192, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 48:202), and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy et al., 1980, Cell 22:817) genes are employed in tk-, hgprt- or aprt-cells, respectively. Also, antimetabolite resistance are used as the basis of selection for the following genes: dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler et al., 1980, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:357; O'Hare et al., 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:1527); gpt, which confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (Mulligan & Berg, 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:2072); neo, which confers resistance to the aminoglycoside G-418 (Clinical Pharmacy 12:488-505; Wu and Wu, 1991, Biotherapy 3:87-95; Tolstoshev, 1993, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 32:573-596; Mulligan, 1993, Science 260:926-932; and Morgan and Anderson, 1993, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 62:191-217; May 1993, TIB TECH11(5):155-215) and hygro, which confers resistance to hygromycin (Santerre et al., 1984, Gene 30:147). Methods commonly known in the art of recombinant DNA technology which can be used are described in Ausubel et al. (eds., 1993, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY; Kriegler, 1990, Gene Transfer and Expression, A Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY; and in Chapters 12 and 13, Dracopoli et al. (eds), 1994, Current Protocols in Human Genetics, John Wiley & Sons, NY; Colberre-Garapin et al., 1981, J. Mol. Biol. 150:1).
In some instances, the expression levels of an antibody are increased by vector amplification (for a review, see Bebbington and Hentschel, the use of vectors based on gene amplification for the expression of cloned genes in mammalian cells in DNA cloning, Vol. 3. (Academic Press, New York, 1987)). When a marker in the vector system expressing an antibody is amplifiable, an increase in the level of inhibitor present in culture of host cell will increase the number of copies of the marker gene. Since the amplified region is associated with the nucleotide sequence of the antibody, production of the antibody will also increase (Crouse et al., 1983, Mol. Cell Biol. 3:257).
In some instances, any method known in the art for purification of an antibody is used, for example, by chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity, particularly by affinity for the specific antigen after Protein A, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or by any other standard technique for the purification of proteins.
Expression Vectors
In some embodiments, vectors include any suitable vectors derived from either a eukaryotic or prokaryotic sources.

Certain Definitions
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular cases only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “including”, “includes”, “having”, “has”, “with”, or variants thereof are used in either the detailed description and/or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising.”
The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense and covers fully assembled antibodies, antibody fragments that can bind antigen, for example, Fab, F(ab′)2, Fv, single chain antibodies (scFv), diabodies, antibody chimeras, hybrid antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and the like.
The term “complementarity determining region” or “CDR” is a segment of the variable region of an antibody that is complementary in structure to the epitope to which the antibody binds and is more variable than the rest of the variable region. Accordingly, a CDR is sometimes referred to as hypervariable region. A variable region comprises three CDRs. CDR peptides can be obtained by constructing genes encoding the CDR of an antibody of interest. Such genes are prepared, for example, by using the polymerase chain reaction to synthesize the variable region from RNA of antibody-producing cells. See, for example, Larrick et al., Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2: 106 (1991); Courtenay-Luck, “Genetic Manipulation of Monoclonal Antibodies,” in Monoclonal Antibodies: Production, Engineering and Clinical Application, Ritter et al. (eds.), pages 166-179 (Cambridge University Press 1995); and Ward et al., “Genetic Manipulation and Expression of Antibodies,” in Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications, Birch et al., (eds.), pages 137-185 (Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1995).
The term “Fab” refers to a protein that contains the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain. Fab fragments differ from Fab′ fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab′-SH is the designation herein for Fab′ in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. Fab′ fragments are produced by reducing the F(ab′)2 fragment's heavy chain disulfide bridge. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.
A “single-chain variable fragment (scFv)” is a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light chains (VL) of an antibody, connected with a short linker peptide of ten to about 25 amino acids. The linker is usually rich in glycine for flexibility, as well as serine or threonine for solubility, and can either connect the N-terminus of the VH with the C-terminus of the VL, or vice versa. This protein retains the specificity of the original antibody, despite removal of the constant regions and the introduction of the linker. scFv antibodies are, e.g. described in Houston, J. S., Methods in Enzymol. 203 (1991) 46-96). In addition, antibody fragments comprise single chain polypeptides having the characteristics of a VH domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VL domain, or of a VL domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VH domain to a functional antigen binding site and thereby providing the antigen binding property of full length antibodies.

The EGFR-CD3 polypeptide complexes were evaluated for EGFR and CD3s binding.
Briefly, the polypeptide complex molecules were evaluated for their ability to bind EGFR as well as CD3 in a standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format. Polypeptide complex binding of EGFR or CD3 were measured before and after protease treatment. Briefly, biotinylated antigen was captured on neutravidin coated plates. Polypeptide complex molecules were treated with active matriptase (MTSP1) where indicated. Polypeptide complex molecules diluted in buffer were then added to the antigen coated plates. Bound polypeptide complex was detected using a standard horse radish peroxidase conjugate secondary antibody. The concentration of polypeptide complex required to achieve 50% maximal signal (EC50) was calculated using Graphpad Prism software.
Polypeptide complexes were evaluated in a functional in vitro tumor cell killing assay using the EGFR positive tumor cell lines HCT116 and A431. Tumor cell killing was measured using an xCelligence real time cell analyzer from Agilent that relies on sensor impedance measurements (cell index) that increased as tumor cells adhere, spread, and expand on the surface of the sensor. Likewise, as the tumor cells were killed the impedance decreased. 10,000 tumor cells were added per well and allowed to adhere overnight on a 96 well E-Plate. The following day polypeptide complexes titrated in human serum supplemented medium along with 30,000 CD8+ T cells were added to the wells. Cell index measurements were taken every 10 minutes for an additional 72 hours. The cell index times number of hours (tumor cell growth kinetics) was then plotted versus concentration of polypeptide complex where the concentration required to reduce the tumor growth 50% (IC50) was calculated using Graphpad Prism software.
Polypeptide complexes were evaluated in binding studies to EGFR and CD3R.
Kinetic binding of polypeptide molecules to human and cynomolgus monkey EGFR was evaluated by bio-layer interferometry using an Octet RED96 instrument. Briefly, biosensors were loaded with antigen and baselined in buffer. Polypeptide molecules were titrated in solution at 50 nM, 25 nM, 12.5 nM, and 6.25 nM then associated onto the antigen loaded sensors. After a short association period, sensors were transferred into buffer and the dissociation of bound polypeptide molecules was measured. The timing and steps of the experiment are shown in Table 7. Association and dissociation signals were recorded in real time and analyzed using a 1:1 binding model within the instrument software. Analysis using a 1:1 binding model enabled the calculation of the on and off rate constants as well as affinity, KD. Off rate constants were converted to half-life shown in the accompanying figures. Data is seen in
The polypeptide complex molecules were also evaluated for their ability to bind human and cynomolgus monkey antigen EGFR in a standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format. Briefly, antigens fused to a human Fc domain were directly coated on high binding ELISA plates. Polypeptide complex molecules diluted in buffer were then added to the antigen coated plates. Bound polypeptide complex was detected using a standard horse radish peroxidase conjugate secondary antibody.

Polypeptide molecules were titrated in solution at 50 nM, 25 nM, 12.5 nM, and 6.25 nM then associated onto the antigen loaded sensors. After a short association period, sensors were transferred into buffer and the dissociation of bound polypeptide molecules was measured. The timing and steps of the experiment are shown in Table 8. Association and dissociation signals were recorded in real time and analyzed using a 1:1 binding model within the instrument software.

Pharmacokinetics and exploratory safety of polypeptide molecules were evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Briefly, cynomolgus monkeys of approximately 3 kg bodyweight were administered polypeptides as an IV bolus and observed daily for signs of adverse events. No in-life adverse events were observed. After dosing, blood was collected in K2 EDTA tubes at specific timepoints and processed to plasma. Plasma was stored frozen until analysis. Concentration of polypeptide molecules in plasma was measured via standard ELISA techniques relative to a reference standard diluted in control cyno plasma. Plasma concentration curves were fit to a standard two phase exponential equation representing distribution and elimination phases. Fitting of phannacokinetics enabled the calculation of Cmax, half-life, volume of distribution, clearance, and 7 day area under the curve (AUC) shown in Tables 9-10. Measured pharmacokinetics in cynomolgus supports once weekly dosing in humans. Data is seen in
Cytokine release after polypeptide molecule administration by IV bolus was evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Briefly, cynomolgus monkeys of approximately 3 kg bodyweight were administered polypeptides as an IV bolus and observed daily for signs of adverse events. No in-life adverse events were observed. After dosing, blood was collected in K2 EDTA tubes at specific timepoints and processed to plasma. Plasma was stored frozen until analysis. Plasma samples were analyzed for cytokines using a non-human primate cytometric Th1/Th2 bead array kit from BD biosciences following the manufacturer's instructions. Interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 6, interleukin 5, interleukin 4, and interleukin 2 levels in plasma were calculated relative to reference standards provided with the bead array kit. Data is seen in
Systemic liver enzymes after polypeptide molecule administration by IV bolus was evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Briefly, cynomolgus monkeys of approximately 3 kg bodyweight were administered polypeptides as an IV bolus and observed daily for signs of adverse events. No in-life adverse events were observed.

AST and ALT levels were remained within the normal ranges for all timepoints tested after dosing suggesting a lack of liver toxicity. AST and ALT were quantified following the instructions provided in a commercially available kit from Millipore. AST and ALT levels were calculated according to manufacturer's instructions relative to a positive control reference standard. Data is seen in
The peptide sequences (peptide-1 to peptide-6) of Table 11 were evaluated for binding to EGFR IgG (see Table 11) in an ELISA format. Briefly, biotinylated peptides were captured on neutravidin coated plates. EGFR IgG diluted in buffer was then added to the peptide coated plates. Bound EGFR IgG was detected using a standard horse radish peroxidase conjugate secondary antibody. The ELISA signal was plotted versus the log-scale antibody concentration. The concentrations of antibody required to observe half maximal binding signal (EC50s) were calculated using Graphpad Prism software.
For a peptide to function as a mask, it must also inhibit the antibody of interest from binding to its cognate antigen. As such, ELISA-based competitive inhibition studies were also used to test the ability of each peptide to inhibit EGFR IgG from binding to the EGFR antigen. Biotinylated antigen was captured on neutravidin coated plates, quenched using biocytin, and washed. Inhibitory peptides were titrated in a dilution series and pre-incubated with a constant concentration of antibody. Inhibitory peptide and antibody mixtures were then incubated on the antigen captured plates. A horseradish peroxidase conjugate secondary antibody was then used to detect the antibody binding to the plate-bound antigen. The ELISA signal was plotted versus log-scale peptide concentration (see
The peptide sequences of Table 14 were evaluated for binding to EGFR Fab in an ELISA format. Binding studies were carried out as described above in Example 7. Binding curves are shown in
Competitive inhibition studies were also used to test the ability of each peptide to inhibit EGFR Fab from binding to the EGFR antigen in an ELISA format. Competitive inhibition measurements were carried out as described above in Example 7. Dose-dependent peptide inhibition of EGFR Fab binding to the EGFR antigen is shown in
Sequence activity relationships (SAR) were established for peptide-8 which was found to exhibit strong binding to EGFR Fab and inhibition of EGFR Fab binding to the EFGR antigen. The sequence activity relationships were established by mutating individual residues within the peptide to alanine and measuring the influence of each mutation on the ability of the peptide to inhibit EGFR Fab binding to the EGFR antigen. The alanine scanning sequences are provided in Table 19.

CRSHIDVAKPICV
Inhibition measurements were carried out in an ELISA format as described above in Example 7. The competitive inhibition plots for the alanine scanning peptides are shown in
As can be seen from Tables 20-21, alanine mutations at Asp-7, Lys-10, Pro-11, and Ile-12 of peptide-8 were the most poorly tolerated, suggesting that these residues are key residues for inhibiting EGFR Fab binding to the EGFR antigen. The mutation studies indicate that Pro-1 and Ser-4 may also be important for binding inhibition. Additionally, the results indicate that Arg-3, Ile-6, Val-8, and Val-14 are non-critical residues for inhibition of EGFR binding to the EGFR antigen.
Using the peptide sequence activity relationships of Example 9, DNA oligo libraries were constructed where codons encoding critical residues within peptide-8 were minimally mutated, and codons encoding non-critical residues that were tolerated in the alanine scanning mutation studies (e.g., Arg-3, Ile-6, Val-8, and Val-14) were heavily mutated. The resulting oligos were cloned into bacteriophage vectors used to display the SAR guided peptides via fusion to the pIII filament of the bacteriophage. The relevant vectors were then used to produce the phage optimization libraries via amplification in bacteria using standard techniques in the field.
Once the phage optimization libraries were completed, phage libraries were bio-panned using EGFR Fab loaded beads. Multiple rounds of panning were performed where bacteriophage was allowed to bind to EGFR Fab loaded beads, washed, eluted, and amplified. Additional selective pressure was included during each round of panning using a fixed concentration of EGFR antigen or peptide-8. After panning, phage infected bacteria were plated out and colonies picked into 96 well blocks. Clonal phage was then amplified and separated from bacterial cells via centrifugation. Phage containing supernatants were tested in binding ELISAs against EGFR Fab coated plates in the presence or absence of saturating concentrations of EGFR antigen. Phage able to bind EGFR Fab were selected for sequence analysis if the binding signal was reduced in the presence of pEGFR.
Clonal phage were harvested as crude supernatants and screened via standard ELISAs. Briefly, biotinylated EGFR Fab was captured on neutravidin coated plates. Prior to the addition of clonal phage, wells were incubated with blocking buffer and EGFR antigen or blocking buffer alone. Without washing or aspirating, clonal phage supernatants were then added to the wells and incubated for a short time. Wells were then washed followed by detection of bound phage using a horse radish conjugated anti-M13 antibody. Clonal phage of interest were then sent for sequence analysis.
Phage panning results of peptide-8 library sequences are shown in Table 22. 679 clonal phage sequences were identified. A consensus sequence was calculated from all the sequences of Table 22 using WebLogo 3.7.4. The consensus sequence is shown in
Of the 679 clonal phage, 20 were selected for peptide synthesis and evaluated for binding and inhibition of EGFR Fab. The sequences of the peptides that were selected for synthesis are shown in Table 23. Binding curves for binding of the peptides to EGFR Fab as measured by ELISA are shown in
Female mice were subcutaneously implanted with 5 million HCT116 colorectal tumor cells in 50% matrigel. 20 million human PBMCs were engrafted via the tail vein the same day as HCT116 inoculation. When tumors reached 250 mm3, mice were randomized into groups and compounds were dosed intravenously every day for 10 days. Tumor volume was measured every two to three days and plotted overtime. The tumor volume growth kinetics indicate anti-tumor activity of masked EGFR targeted bispecific compounds. The anti-tumor activity observed was protease dependent in that the compound lacking the protease substrate within the cleavable linker was equivalent to vehicle controls.
Polypeptide complexes PC1 and PC4 were evaluated for binding to human and cynomolgus monkey CD3ε, EGFR, and albumin by ELISA. Briefly, biotinylated antigen was captured on neutravidin coated plates. Polypeptide complex molecules were treated with active protease where indicated. Polypeptide complex molecules diluted in buffer were then added to the antigen coated plates. Bound polypeptide complex was detected using a standard horse radish peroxidase conjugate secondary antibody. Binding curves were fit using Graphpad Prism software. Binding curves for PC1 and PC4 binding to human and cynomolgus monkey CD3ε are shown in
Polypeptide complexes were evaluated in a functional in vitro tumor cell killing assay using the EGFR positive tumor cell line A549.

Likewise, as the tumor cells were killed the impedance decreased. Tumor cells were added per well and allowed to adhere overnight on a 96 well E-Plate. The following day polypeptide complexes titrated in human serum supplemented medium along with human PBMCs were added to the wells. Cell index measurements were taken every 10 minutes for an additional 72 hours. The cell index times number of hours (tumor cell growth kinetics) was then plotted versus logarithmic concentration of polypeptide complex where the concentration required to reduce the tumor growth 50% (IC50) was calculated using Graphpad Prism software.
Polypeptide complexes PC1 and PC4 were evaluated in a functional in vitro cytokine induction assay using the EGFR positive tumor cell lines HCT116 (colorectal cancer (CRC) cells—KRAS and PIK3CA mutant) and A549 (non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells—KRAS mutant). T cell cytokine induction was measured using an Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) electrochemiluminescence instrument. Tumor cells were added to wells and allowed to adhere overnight on a 96 well. The following day polypeptide complexes titrated in human serum supplemented medium along with human PBMCs. Supernatants were harvested 72 hours later and measured for cytokine levels (interferon gamma (IFNγ) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)). Cytokine levels were then plotted versus logarithmic concentration of polypeptide complex where the concentration required to induce 50% (EC50) of the maximum was calculated using Graphpad Prism software.
Polypeptide complexes were evaluated in a mouse tumor model study. Female mice were subcutaneously implanted with 5 million HCT116 colorectal tumor cells in 50% matrigel. 20 million human PBMCs were engrafted via the tail vein the same day as HCT116 inoculation. When tumors reached 250 mm3, mice were randomized into groups and compounds were dosed intravenously every day for 10 days (see
Fresh tumor tissue was procured from colorectal cancer patients, separated into small three-dimensional tumoroids without disruption of the underlying immune compartment or tumor microenvironment, and distributed to 96 well plates. Fresh tumoroids were treated with polypeptide complexes and maintained in culture for 24 to 72 hours (see
Pharmacokinetics and exploratory safety of polypeptide molecules PC1 and PC4 were evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Briefly, cynomolgus monkeys of approximately 3 kg bodyweight were administered polypeptides as an IV bolus once weekly for three weeks or via continuous IV infusion. Animals were observed daily for signs of adverse events. PC1 was dosed at 5 μg/kg/day, 15 μg/kg/day, and 30 μg/kg/day via continuous IV (cIV) infusion. Dosing amounts of 0.1 mg/kg/dose, 0.3 mg/kg/dose, and 0.6 mg/kg/dose was used for PC4 via IV bolus injections. After dosing, blood was collected in K2 EDTA tubes at specific timepoints and processed to plasma. Plasma was stored frozen until analysis. Concentration of polypeptide molecules in plasma was measured via standard ELISA techniques relative to a reference standard diluted in control cynomolgus monkey plasma. Maximum plasma concentrations achieved in animals for masked polypeptide complex PC4 were compared to those achieved using the non-masked polypeptide complex PC1. Comparison of the maximum plasma concentration achieved with the masked polypeptide complex compared to the maximum tolerated plasma concentration for the non-masked polypeptide complex revealed a >3,000× multiple (see

Sequence activity relationships (SAR) were established for Peptide-A and Peptide-B by mutating each individual residue within the peptide to alanine and measuring binding and inhibition against SP34.185 scFv. Peptide residues whose alanine mutations significantly weakened binding and inhibition can be considered critical residues where mutations were not tolerated. Peptide residues whose alanine mutations performed similarly to the non-mutated sequence can be considered non-critical sites where mutations were indeed tolerated. Using the peptide SAR, DNA oligo libraries were constructed where codons encoding critical residues within each peptide sequence were minimally mutated and codons encoding non-critical residues were heavily mutated. The resulting oligos were cloned into bacteriophage vectors used to display the SAR guided peptides via fusion to the pIII filament of the bacteriophage. The relevant vectors were then used to produce the phage optimization libraries via amplification in bacteria using standard techniques in the field.

SP34.185scFv and peptide solutions were incubated for 1 hr prior to addition to CD3 coated plates. Binding was allowed to proceed for 30 min prior to washing. After washing, bound SP34.185 scFv using a secondary horse radish peroxidase antibody conjugate. After washing again, plates were developed using standard ELISA techniques and stopped using acid. The concentration of peptide required to inhibit 50% of the SP34.185 scFv CD3 binding signal (IC50) was calculated using Graphpad prism. Data is shown in
