Abstract
Description
[001] This application claims priority and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 453,929, filed March 22, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. REFERENCE TO AN ELECTRONIC SEQUENCE LISTING
[002] The contents of the electronic sequence listing (SBTI005_001WO_SeqList_St26.xml; Size: 163,004 bytes; and Creation Date: February 29, 2024) are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. BACKGROUND
[003] Cancer is a leading cause of death in the developed world. In the United States alone, an estimated 1.8 million people were recently diagnosed, and over 600,000 cancer deaths occurred in 2020. In cancer, an individual's cells grow and divide abnormally, spreading to surrounding tissues. It is believed that each cancer has a combination of genetic alterations, which can vary between cancers, allowing cancer cells to escape the body's natural controls over cell proliferation and allowing the cancer to spread. While some types of cancer are currently treatable, many are not. There is a need in technology for compositions and methods for cancer treatment.
[004] Human 5T4 manifests in a variety of cancer types, including bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, and testicular cancer. Human 5T4 is generally not found in normal tissues and, when Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 13 / 297 2 / 214, found, is expressed at low levels, making it an ideal therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

[0031] The description provides antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to 5T4 and methods for producing and using them. The 5T4 antigen-binding domains of the present invention include, but are not limited to, Fab fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, scFv, scab, dAb, single-domain antibodies, full-size IgG antibodies, and the like. Non-limiting uses of the 5T4 antigen-binding domains contemplated within the scope of the present invention include immunotherapies, use as antibody-drug conjugates, and incorporation into chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) used in adoptive cell therapies.
[0032] Consequently, the invention provides antibody-drug conjugates comprising the 5T4 antigen-binding domains described herein. In some embodiments, the drug-antibody conjugate is biparatopic, that is, it comprises a first antigen-binding domain that binds specifically to a first 5T4 epitope and a second antigen-binding domain that binds to a second 5T4 epitope, and the two 5T4 epitopes are not the same. In some embodiments, the antibody-drug conjugate comprises a first antigen-binding domain that binds specifically to Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 22 / 297 11 / 214 a first 5T4 epitope and a second antigen-binding domain that binds specifically to a second 5T4 epitope that is not the same as the first 5T4 epitope and comprises a chemotherapeutic agent.
[0033] The biparatopic antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention bind to two different epitopes of the same target molecule 5T4, thus cross-linking 5T4 on the surface of cells, such as cancer cells, and inducing the formation of 5T4-antibody immune complexes. This enhanced cross-linking provides a functional benefit over known 5T4-binding proteins, such as monospecific antibodies or other proteins that bind specifically to a single 5T4 epitope. Such benefits include more robust and rapid internalization of the 5T4 molecules bound to the drug-antibody complex, which may lead to improved cytotoxic elimination of target cancer cells.Without intending to limit oneself to theory, it is believed that increased cross-linking and / or aggregation of antibody immune complexes leads to more robust internalization, lysosomal trafficking, and degradation of immune complexes within cells, and intracellular release of cytotoxic payloads within host cells. The biparatopic antibody-drug conjugates described herein exhibit enhanced internalization and specific elimination of 5T4-expressing cancer cells. Thus, the biparatopic antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention may provide greater potency against cancer cells and a more effective treatment for individuals with 5T4-positive cancers.
[0034] In some embodiments, the biparatopic antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention comprise an IgG constant region (Fc) domain comprising at least one mutation that reduces effector function and prolongs half-life. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, p. 23 / 297 12 / 214 or a combination thereof. For example, Fc mutations in the antibody-drug conjugates presented here provide an additional benefit over known 5T4-binding proteins in the prior art, reducing affinity at least to the Fc gamma I receptor (FcyRI) and / or the Fc gamma IIIa receptor (FcyRII) compared to antibodies without Fc mutations, without decreasing the binding affinity of the antibody-drug conjugates to 5T4. Exemplary Fc mutations that minimize antibody effector function and prolong the half-life of antibody-drug conjugates are shown in Table 3.
[0035] In some embodiments, the biparatopic antibodies of the invention comprise a first antigen-binding domain operably linked to a second antigen-binding domain. In some embodiments, the first and second antigen-binding domains are independently selected from the group consisting of a Fab fragment, an F(ab')2 fragment, an scFv, a scab, a dAb, a single-domain heavy chain antibody, a single-domain light chain antibody, and a full-size IgG antibody. In some embodiments, the biparatopic antibody comprises a full-size IgG antibody comprising the first antigen-binding domain, and the second antigen-binding domain comprises an scFv. In some embodiments, the chemotherapeutic agent is conjugated to at least one of the full-size IgG antibodies comprising the first antigen-binding domain or the second antigen-binding domain by means of a linker.In some embodiments, the chemotherapeutic agent is an auristatin, such as, for example, but not limited to, auristatin E (AE), monomethyl auristatin D (MMAD), monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF), and synthetic dolastatin analogues.
[0036] Also provided here are polynucleotides and vectors encoding antigen-, antibody- and conjugate-binding domains. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 24 / 297 13 / 214 antibody-drug conjugates comprising the same, and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) comprising the antigen-binding domains of the invention, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods for their production and use thereof. Antigen-binding domains, antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and CARs can be used to treat a variety of diseases and disorders, including cancers. Definitions
[0037] Unless defined otherwise, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0038] For the purposes of interpreting this descriptive report, the following definitions shall apply and, where appropriate, terms used in the singular shall also include the plural and vice versa. If any definition set forth below conflicts with any document incorporated herein by reference, the definition set forth below shall prevail.
[0039] The term individual, as used herein, includes, but is not limited to, a mammal, including, for example, a human being, a non-human primate (e.g., monkey), mouse, pig, cow, goat, rabbit, rat, guinea pig, hamster, horse, monkey, sheep or other non-human mammal, a non-mammal, including, for example, a non-mammalian vertebrate, such as a bird (e.g., a chicken or duck) or a fish; and a non-mammalian invertebrate. In some embodiments, the methods and compositions of the invention are used to treat (both prophylactically and therapeutically) non-human animals. The term individual may also refer to patients, i.e., individuals awaiting or receiving medical care.
[0040] The term pharmaceutical composition here means a Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 25 / 297 14 / 214 composition suitable for pharmaceutical use in an individual, including an animal or human. A pharmaceutical composition generally comprises an effective amount of an active agent (e.g., the antibodies or antibody-drug conjugates of the invention) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient (e.g., a buffer, adjuvant or similar).
[0041] The term effective amount means a dosage or quantity sufficient to produce a desired result. The desired result may comprise an objective or subjective improvement in the recipient of the dosage or amount (e.g., long-term survival, decrease in the number and / or size of tumors, effective prevention of a disease state, etc.).
[0042] A prophylactic treatment is a treatment administered to an individual who does not show signs or symptoms of a disease, pathology or medical disorder, or who shows only early signs or symptoms of a disease, pathology or disorder, such that the treatment is administered for the purpose of decreasing, preventing or reducing the risk of developing the disease, pathology or medical disorder. A prophylactic treatment functions as a preventive treatment against a disease or disorder. A prophylactic activity is an activity of an agent, such as the anti-5T4 bispecific drug-antibody conjugates of the invention, or compositions thereof, which, when administered to an individual who does not show signs or symptoms of a pathology, disease or disorder (or who shows only early signs or symptoms of a pathology, disease or disorder) decreases, prevents or reduces the risk of the individual developing the pathology, disease or disorder.A prophylactically useful agent or compound (e.g., a bispecific anti5T4 drug-antibody conjugate) refers to an agent or compound that is useful in decreasing, preventing, treating, or reducing the development of a pathology, disease, or condition. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 26 / 297 15 / 214 disturbance.
[0043] A therapeutic treatment is a treatment administered to an individual exhibiting symptoms or signs of pathology, disease, or disorder, in which the treatment is administered to the individual for the purpose of reducing or eliminating those signs or symptoms of pathology, disease, or disorder. A therapeutic activity is an activity of an agent, such as a drug-antibody conjugate of the invention, or a composition thereof, that eliminates or reduces signs or symptoms of a pathology, disease, or disorder when administered to an individual suffering from such signs or symptoms. A therapeutically effective agent or compound (e.g., a bispecific anti-5T4 drug-antibody conjugate) indicates that an agent or compound is effective in reducing, treating, or eliminating such signs or symptoms of the pathology, disease, or disorder.
[0044] The term "treat cancer," as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, means to reverse, alleviate, inhibit the progress of, or prevent, partially or completely, the growth of tumors, tumor metastases, or other cancerous or neoplastic cells in an individual. The term "treatment," as used herein, unless otherwise indicated, refers to the act of treating.
[0045] The terms identical or percent identity, in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are identical or have a specific percentage of nucleotides or amino acid residues that are the same when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence. To determine percent identity, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps may be introduced in the sequence of a first amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment with a second amino acid or nucleic acid sequence). Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, p. 27 / 297 16 / 214 Amino acid or nucleotide residues at corresponding amino acid or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid or nucleotide residue as the corresponding position in the second sequence, then the molecules are identical at that position. The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e., the % identity equals the number of identical positions / total number of positions (e.g., overlapping positions χ² 100)). In some embodiments, the two sequences have the same length.
[0046] The term substantially identical, in the context of two nucleic acids or polypeptides, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that have at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, 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% identity or at least 99% identity (for example, as determined using one of the methods defined below).
[0047] Determining the percentage of identity between two sequences can be done using a mathematical algorithm. A non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm used for comparing two sequences is the Karlin and Altschul algorithm, 1990, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268, modified as in Karlin and Altschul, 1993, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877. This algorithm is incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs of Altschul et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410. BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST program, score=100, word length=12, to obtain nu sequences. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 28 / 297 17 / 214 nucleotides homologous to a nucleic acid encoding a protein of interest. BLAST protein searches can be performed with the XBLAST program, score=50, word length=3, to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to a protein of interest. To obtain gap alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be used as described in Altschul et al., 1997, Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402. Alternatively, PSI-BLAST can be used to perform an iterated search, which detects distant relationships between molecules (id.). When using the BLAST, Gapped BLAST, and PSI-BLAST programs, the default parameters of the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used. Another non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm used for sequence comparison is the Myers-Miller algorithm, CABIOS (1989). This algorithm is incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2).0), which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When using the ALIGN program to compare amino acid sequences, a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4 can be used. Additional algorithms for sequence analysis are known in the art and include ADVANCE and ADAM, as described in Torellis and Robotti, 1994, Comput. Appl. Biosci. 10:3-5; and FASTA, described in Pearson and Lipman, 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444-8. Alternatively, protein sequence alignment can be performed using the CLUSTAL W algorithm, as described by Higgins et al., 1996, Methods Enzymol. 266:383-402.
[0048] As used herein, antigen-binding domain refers to a region in an antibody that binds to antigens. An exemplary antigen-binding domain comprises a constant domain and a variable domain of each of the antibody's heavy and light chains. However, alternative arrangements, such as, for example, dom- Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 29 / 297 18 / 214 single-domain antigen-binding domains are contemplated as being within the scope of the present invention, provided that such domains are capable of binding to an antigen. Exemplary antigen-binding domains include, but are not limited to, scFv, Fab fragments, Fab' fragments, F(ab')2 fragments and the like, and are described in greater detail below.
[0049] As used herein, the term binds, binds specifically to, or is specific to refers to measurable and reproducible interactions, such as the binding between a target and an antigen-binding domain, which is determinant of the target's presence in the presence of a heterogeneous population of molecules, including biological molecules. For example, an antibody that binds specifically to a target (which may be an epitope) is an antibody that binds to that target with greater affinity, avidity, more readily, and / or for a longer duration than it binds to other targets. In one embodiment, the extent of binding of an antigen-binding domain to an unrelated target is less than about 10% of the antibody binding to the target, as measured, for example, by a radioimmunoassay (RIA). In certain embodiments, an antibody that binds specifically to a target has a dissociation constant (Kd) of < 1 μM, < 100 nM, < 10 nM, < 1 nM, < 0.1 nM, or < 0.01 nM.
[0050] In certain embodiments, an antigen-binding domain binds specifically to an epitope on a protein that is conserved among proteins of different species. In another embodiment, specific binding may include, but does not require, exclusive binding.
[0051] As used in this descriptive report, the singular forms a, an, and the include plural references, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The reference to the formulation or the method includes one or more formulations, methods and / or steps of the type described herein and / or which will become apparent to those persons. Petition 870250084408, dated 19 / 09 / 2025, page 30 / 297 19 / 214 those skilled in the art after reading this invention.
[0052] The term polypeptide refers to a polymer of amino acids and their equivalents and does not refer to a specific length of a product; therefore, peptides and proteins are included in the definition of polypeptide. A protein may have one or more polypeptides. Antibodies, as defined herein, are also included in the definition of polypeptides. A polypeptide region refers to a segment of a polypeptide, which segment may contain, for example, one or more domains or motifs (for example, a polypeptide region of an antibody may contain, for example, one or more complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)). The term fragment refers to a portion of a polypeptide that is smaller than the entire polypeptide, as occurs naturally.
[0053] Unless otherwise indicated by the context, a derivative is a polypeptide or fragment thereof having one or more non-conservative or conservative amino acid substitutions with respect to a second polypeptide (also referred to as a variant), or deletions or insertions with respect to it; or a polypeptide or fragment thereof that is modified by covalent attachment to a second molecule, such as, for example, by attachment to a heterologous polypeptide, or by glycosylation, acetylation, phosphorylation and the like. Also included within the definition of derivative are, for example, polypeptides containing one or more analogs of an amino acid (e.g., non-natural amino acids and the like), polypeptides with unsubstituted linkages, as well as other modifications known in the art, both naturally occurring and non-natural.
[0054] An isolated polypeptide is one that has been identified and separated and / or recovered from a component of its natural environment. The contaminating components of its natural environment are ma Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 31 / 297 20 / 214 materials that would interfere with the diagnostic or therapeutic uses of the polypeptide and may include enzymes, hormones, and other protein or non-protein solutes. An isolated polypeptide includes an isolated antibody, or a fragment or derivative thereof.
[0055] As used herein, the term chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) refers to an artificial transmembrane protein receptor comprising (i) an extracellular domain capable of binding to at least one predetermined CAR ligand or antigen, such as a 5T4 antigen-binding domain as described herein, (ii) an intracellular segment comprising one or more cytoplasmic domains derived from signal transducer proteins other than the polypeptide from which the extracellular domain is derived, and (iii) a transmembrane domain. In some cases, CARs also include a binding domain. CARs can be used to inject artificial specificity into a specific immune effector cell, such as a helper T cell (CD4+), a cytotoxic T cell (CD8+), or an NK cell.Carcinoma receptors (CARs) can be used to confer the specificity of a monoclonal antibody to a T cell, thus enabling the generation of a large number of specific T cells, for example, for use in adoptive cell therapy. Depending on the specific CAR architecture and the intracellular signaling domains employed, the CAR can be an activating receptor or an inhibitory receptor. Exemplary activating CARs comprise an intracellular CD3 zeta domain, one or more intracellular domains for additional costimulatory signaling, such as ICOS, CD137 (4-1BB), CD27, CD28, CD134, CD152 (CTLA-4), CD223 (LAG4), DAP10 and / or OX-40 and, optionally, an extracellular articulation region, for example, derived from CD8a or CD28. Many different CARs are known in the art, all of which are contemplated as being included within the scope of the present invention. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 32 / 297 21 / 214
[0056] As used herein, the term bispecific T-cell antibody refers to an antibody with dual binding specificity for a cancer-associated antigen, such as 5T4, and a CD3 subunit present on the surface of T cells, for example, any of the following: CD3 epsilon, CD3 gamma, CD3 delta, or CD3 zeta. Without wishing to be bound to theory, it is believed that this allows the bispecific T-cell antibody to cross-link and bring T cells and cancer cells closer together, inducing T cell activation and subsequent cancer cell death.
[0057] The term about, as used here, means, in quantitative terms, more or less 5%, or in another way, more or less 10%, or in another way, more or less 15%, or in another way, more or less 20%.
[0058] All methods described herein may be carried out in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated or clearly contradicted by the context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g., such as) provided herein, is intended merely to better clarify the invention and does not represent a limitation to the scope of the invention, unless otherwise claimed. No language in the descriptive report should be interpreted as indicating any unclaimed element as essential to the practice of the invention.
[0059] All publications, patents and patent applications mentioned in this descriptive report are incorporated herein by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent or patent application were specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference. 5T4
[0060] An example of a cancer-associated antigen is trophoblast glycoprotein (TPBG), also known as 5T4 antigen. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 33 / 297 22 / 214 human (5T4), oncofetal 5T4 antigen, or Wnt-activated inhibitory factor 1 (WAIF1). The human 5T4 antigen is a 72 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in embryonic tissues, such as the placenta, and in various types of solid tumors and carcinomas, including prostate cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 7,074,909 or U.S. Patent No. 7,514,546. However, the 5T4 antigen is expressed at low levels or not expressed at all in most healthy adult epithelial tissues. See Woods et al., Biochem. J. (2002) 366, 353-365.
[0061] The expression or overexpression of the 5T4 antigen in various tumor types, particularly ovarian, gastric, and colorectal tumors, is associated with more unfavorable clinical outcomes. Furthermore, overexpression is associated with alterations in cell morphology and motility consistent with tumor invasion. Thus, the 5T4 antigen is believed to play a role in the progression or malignancy of some solid tumors.
[0062] The invention provides antigen-binding domains, as well as antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and receptors comprising antigen-binding domains that bind to 5T4.
[0063] The invention provides antigen-binding domains useful for targeting cells, such as cancer cells, that express the 5T4 antigen. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding domains are incorporated into a drug-antibody conjugate, which can be used for 5T4-targeted cancer therapy. Exemplary antibody-drug conjugates include biparatopic antibodies that bind to two different 5T4 epitopes, as well as 5T4 drug-antibody conjugates that can bind to a single 5T4 epitope. In some embodiments, the 5T4 drug-antibody conjugate comprises a biparatopic 5T4 antibody and binds to two different 5T4 epitopes. The antibody-drug conjugates described herein may comprise Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 34 / 297 23 / 214 the 5T4 antigen-binding portion of an anti-5T4 antibody designed in a single-chain form and fused to a chemotherapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the 5T4 drug-antibody conjugate comprises a biparatopic 5T4 antibody, comprising a full-size IgG antibody linked to an scFv.
[0064] The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising antigen-binding domains, antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates and receptors described herein. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions comprise a biparatopic 5T4 drug-antibody conjugate comprising a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a first 5T4 epitope, a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a second 5T4 epitope that is not the same as the first 5T4 epitope, and a chemotherapeutic agent.
[0065] In addition, this invention provides methods for treating diseases or disorders involving cellular expression of the 5T4 antigen, the methods comprising administering to an individual in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition described herein, for example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a biparatopic 5T4 drug-antibody conjugate comprising a first antigen-binding domain that binds specifically to a first 5T4 epitope, a second antigen-binding domain that binds specifically to a second 5T4 epitope that is not the same as the first 5T4 epitope, and a chemotherapeutic agent.
[0066] The present invention provides antigen-binding domains that bind to human 5T4 antigen.

[0067] Any suitable antigen-binding domain capable of specifically binding to 5T4, or a fragment thereof, is considered within the scope of the present invention, including, but not limited to, a Fab fragment, an F(ab')2 fragment, single-chain variable fragments (scFv), a scab, a dAb, single-domain antibodies (sdAb), such as single-domain VHH antibodies, a single-domain heavy chain antibody or a single-domain light chain antibody, full-size IgG antibodies, antibody fragments, antigen-binding domains or fragments comprising antigen-binding domains, as described in greater detail below. In addition, full-size antibodies, biparatopic antibodies, bispecific T-cell antibodies, fusion proteins and receptors, such as chimeric antigen receptors, described herein, are considered within the scope of the present invention.
[0068] The invention provides antibodies comprising antigen-binding domains specific for the 5T4 antigen described herein. For example, the antibodies may be monoclonal antibodies, such as full-size IgG antibodies.
[0069] As used herein, an antibody refers to a protein comprising one or more polypeptides substantially or partially encoded by immunoglobulin genes or fragments of immunoglobulin genes. Recognized immunoglobulin genes include the constant region genes kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon, and mu, as well as a myriad of variable region immunoglobulin genes. Light chains are classified as kappa or Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 36 / 297 25 / 214 lambda. Heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, respectively. A typical immunoglobulin structural unit (e.g., antibody) comprises a tetramer. Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having a light chain (approximately 25 kD) and a heavy chain (approximately 50 to 70 kD). The N-terminus of each chain defines a variable region of approximately 100 to 110 or more amino acids, primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The terms variable light chain (VL) and variable heavy chain (VH) refer to these light and heavy chains, respectively. The term antibody includes antibody molecules prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means, such as antibodies isolated from a host cell transfected to express the antibody.The term antibody also includes bispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific T-cell antibodies) or biparatopic antibodies, which may include a heterotetrameric immunoglobulin that can bind to more than one different epitope. Bispecific antibodies are generally described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010 / 0331527, which is incorporated by reference into this application. The term antibody herein is used in the broadest sense and specifically encompasses intact monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) formed from at least two intact antibodies, and antibody fragments, provided they exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0070] The term antibody also includes one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to bind specifically to an antigen, such as, for example, an antibody-binding portion or domain of an antibody, sometimes referred to herein as a Petition 870250084408, dated 19 / 09 / 2025, page 37 / 297 26 / 214 antigen binding minimum or antigen-binding portion.
[0071] The term antigen-binding domain or antigen-binding region, as used herein, refers to a domain of an antigen-binding portion that is responsible for the specific binding between an antigen-binding portion and an antigen. For example, the antigen-binding region of an antibody or a fragment thereof is formed by amino acid residues of the N-terminal variable regions of the heavy chain (abbreviated herein as VH) and the light chain (abbreviated herein as VL). The variable regions of the VH and VL each comprise three hypervariable regions, termed complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). The 3 CDRs of the VH and the 3 CDRs of the VL are arranged three-dimensionally relative to each other to form an antigen-binding surface.Examples of binding fragments encompassed by the term antigen-binding portion of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) an F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge in the junction region; (iii) an Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (iv) an Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; (v) a dAb fragment (Ward et al. (1989) Nature 241:544-546), consisting of a VH domain; (vi) an isolated CDR; and (vii) an scFv, consisting of the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, joined by a synthetic linker to form a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules. Other forms of single-chain antibodies, such as diabodies, are also encompassed by the term antibody (see, for example, Holliger et al.(1993) PNAS USA 90:6444-6448; Poljak et al. (1994) Structure 2:1 121-1 123).
[0072] In addition, an antibody or antigen-binding domain Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 38 / 297 27 / 214 of the same may be part of a larger immunoadhesion molecule, formed by the covalent or non-covalent association of the antibody or antigen-binding domain with one or more other proteins or peptides. Examples of such immunoadhesion molecules include the use of the central region of streptavidin to produce a tetrameric scFv molecule (Kipriyanov et al. (1995) Human Antibodies and Hybridomas 6:93-101) and the use of a cysteine residue, a marker peptide, and a C-terminal polyhistidine marker to produce bivalent and biotinylated scFv molecules (Kipriyanov et al. (1994) Mol. Immunol. 31: 1047-1058). Antibody fragments, such as Fab and F(ab')2 fragments, can be prepared from whole antibodies using conventional techniques, such as by digestion of whole antibodies with papain or pepsin.Furthermore, antibodies, antibody fragments, and immunoadhesion molecules can be obtained using standard recombinant DNA techniques commonly known in the art (see Sambrook et al., 1989).
[0073] The term human antibody or humanized antibody is intended to include antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. The human antibodies of the invention may include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo), for example, in CDRs and, in particular, in CDR3. Humanized forms of non-human antibodies (e.g., murine) are chimeric immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin chains or fragments thereof (such as Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2 or other antibody antigen-binding subsequences) containing a minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. For the most part, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (antibody). Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 39 / 297 28 / 214 receptor) in which residues from a complementarity-determining region (CDR) of the receptor are replaced by residues from a CDR of a non-human species (donor antibody), such as mouse, rat, or rabbit, that exhibit the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some cases, residues from the Fv structure of human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, humanized antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in either the receptor antibody or the imported CDR sequences or structure. These modifications are also made to refine and optimize antibody performance.In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all CDR regions correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all FR regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody may also comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant (Fc) region, typically that of a human immunoglobulin.
[0074] The term recombinant human antibody, as used herein, is intended to include all human antibodies that are prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means, such as antibodies expressed using a recombinant expression vector transfected into a host cell, antibodies isolated from a combinatorial library of recombinant human antibodies, antibodies isolated from an animal (e.g., a mouse) transgenic for human immunoglobulin genes, or antibodies prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by any other means involving the splicing of human immunoglobulin gene sequences to other DNA sequences. Such human antibodies re Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 40 / 297 29 / 214 recombinant antibodies have variable and constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In certain embodiments, however, such recombinant human antibodies are subjected to in vitro mutagenesis (or, when a transgenic animal for human Ig sequences is used, to in vivo somatic mutagenesis) and, therefore, the amino acid sequences of the VH and VL regions of the recombinant antibodies are sequences that, although derived from and related to human germline VH and VL sequences, may not naturally exist in the germline repertoire of human antibodies in vivo. The general structure of antibodies is known in the art. Briefly, an immunoglobulin monomer comprises two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bridges. Each heavy chain is paired with one of the light chains to which it is directly linked via a disulfide bond.Each heavy chain comprises a constant region (which varies depending on the antibody isotype) and a variable region. The variable region comprises three hypervariable regions (or complementarity-determining regions) designated CDRH1, CDRH2, and CDRH3, which are supported by structural regions. Each light chain comprises a constant region and a variable region, with the variable region comprising three hypervariable regions (designated CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3) supported by structural regions in a manner analogous to the variable region of the heavy chain.
[0075] The hypervariable regions of each pair of heavy and light chains cooperate to provide an antigen-binding site capable of binding to a target antigen. The binding specificity of a pair of heavy and light chains is defined by the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences of the heavy and light chains. Thus, once a set of CDR sequences (i.e., the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences for the heavy and light chains) is Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, p. 41 / 297 30 / 214 determined by giving rise to a specific binding specificity, the set of CDR sequences can, in principle, be inserted into the appropriate positions within any other antibody structure regions bound to any constant regions of the antibody, so as to provide a different antibody with the same antigen-binding specificity.
[0076] Antibodies, or antigen-binding domains, exist as intact immunoglobulins or as a series of well-characterized fragments produced by digestion with various peptidases. Thus, for example, pepsin digests an antibody below the disulfide bonds in the junction region to produce F(ab')2, a Fab dimer which, in turn, is a light chain attached to VH-CH1 by a disulfide bond. OF(ab')2 can be reduced under moderate conditions to break the disulfide bond in the junction region, thus converting the F(ab')2 dimer into a Fab' monomer. The Fab' monomer is essentially a Fab with part of the junction region. Although various antibody fragments are defined in terms of the digestion of an intact antibody, the versed will realize that such Fab' fragments, etc., can be synthesized de novo chemically or using recombinant DNA methodology.Thus, the term antibody, as used here, also includes antibody fragments produced by modifying whole antibodies or synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA methodologies.
[0077] Antibodies, or antigen-binding domains, include single-chain antibodies, for example, single-chain Fv antibodies (sFv or scFv), in which a variable heavy chain and a variable light chain are joined (directly or via a peptide linker) to form a continuous polypeptide.
[0078] Antibodies, or antigen-binding domains, include single-domain antibodies, which comprise a fragment of an Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 42 / 297 31 / 214 A single-domain antibody consisting of a single monomeric variable antibody domain capable of selectively binding to an antigen domain. Examples include, but are not limited to, heavy chain antibodies, naturally light chain-deficient antibodies, single-domain antibodies derived from conventional 4-chain antibodies, engineered antibodies, and single-domain structures other than those derived from antibodies. Single-domain antibodies may be any of the art or any future single-domain antibodies. Single-domain antibodies may be derived from any species, including, but not limited to, mouse, human, camel, llama, goat, rabbit, and bovine.
[0079] As explained above, the antibodies or antigen-binding domains used herein optionally comprise F(ab)2, F(ab')2, Fab, Fab', scFv, single-domain antibodies, etc., depending on the specific requirements of the embodiment. Some embodiments use antibodies comprising IgG domains. However, other embodiments comprise alternative immunoglobulins, such as IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. Furthermore, all possible isotypes of the various immunoglobulins are also covered by the present embodiments. Thus, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, etc., are all possible molecules in the antibody domains used in the invention. In addition to the choice of immunoglobulin type and isotype selection, different embodiments of the invention may comprise various articulation regions (or functional equivalents thereof). Such articulation regions provide flexibility between the different antibody domains and, for example, an effector to which the antibody is fused.
[0080] The antibodies or antigen-binding domains of the present invention include chimeric antibodies or antigen-binding domains (immunoglobulins) in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical or homologous to the corresponding sequences Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, p. 43 / 297 32 / 214 teeth in antibodies derived from a specific species or belonging to a specific class or subclass of antibodies, while the remainder of the chains is identical or homologous to the corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another class or subclass of antibodies, as well as fragments of such antibodies, provided that they exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0081] In some embodiments, the antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates of the present invention comprise a 5T4-specific antigen-binding domain comprising any of the CDRs described in Tables 1-2.

[0082] A person generally versed in the art will understand that each row in Table 1 describes three heavy-chain CDR sequences and each row in Table 2 describes three light-chain CDR sequences, which together can bind to 5T4. Thus, the of Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, p. 46 / 297 The 35 / 214 antigen-binding domains of 5T4 described herein will be understood as having, in some embodiments, six CDRs, three for the variable heavy domain and three for the variable light domain, corresponding to the rows in the same positions in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, identified by the numbers on the left. Any combination of CDRs comprising a row of CDRs from Table 1, combined with a row of CDRs from Table 2, is considered within the scope of the 5T4 antibodies of the invention. Furthermore, antibodies, antigen-binding domains, CDRs, and sequences thereof that specifically bind to 5T4 epitopes can be derived by methods known in the art. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used here can be produced by the hybridoma method, first described by Kohler et al., 1975, Nature 256:495, or they can be produced by recombinant DNA methods (see, for example, US Patent No. 4,816,567).Monoclonal antibodies can also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in Clackson et al., 1991, Nature 352:624-628 and Marks et al., 1991, J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-597, for example, and the antibody sequences and corresponding coding nucleic acids can be determined by methods known in the art.
[0083] Bispecific antibodies are antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different antigens. Biparatropic antibodies are antibodies that bind to two distinct epitopes of the same antigen. Both bispecific antibodies, for example, antibodies that bind to 5T4 using a 5T4 antigen-binding domain, as described herein, and that also bind to an additional antigen, and biparatropic antibodies that bind to 5T4, are contemplated as being included within the scope of the present invention. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 47 / 297 36 / 214
[0084] The present invention provides biparatopic antibody-drug conjugates having a first antigen-binding domain that binds to a first 5T4 epitope and a second antigen-binding domain that binds to a second 5T4 epitope that is not the same as the first 5T4 epitope, wherein the first antigen-binding domain is operably linked to the second antigen-binding domain. In some embodiments, the first antigen-binding domain is linked to the second antigen-binding domain by means of a linker.
[0085] Antibodies with more than two valences are also contemplated as being included within the scope of the invention. For example, trispecific antibodies can be prepared. See, Tutt et al., J. Immunol. 147:60 (1991).
[0086] In some respects, the first and second antigen-binding domains are selected independently of the group consisting of a Fab fragment, an F(ab')2 fragment, an scFv, a scab, a dAb, a single-domain heavy chain antibody, a single-domain light chain antibody, and a natural-size IgG antibody.
[0087] In some aspects, the biparatopic antibodies of the invention comprise a first antibody comprising a full-size IgG antibody comprising a first antigen-binding domain. In some aspects, the second antigen-binding domain comprises a scFv. In some aspects, the drug-antibody conjugate is tetravalent for binding to a 5T4 antigen.
[0088] In some respects, the biparatopic 5T4 antibodies described herein comprise a scFv. In some embodiments, the antibody-drug conjugate comprises two scFv that bind specifically to a 5T4 epitope. In some respects, the scFv comprises Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, p. 48 / 297 37 / 214 a heavy chain and a light chain, in which the C-terminal of the light chain is operably linked to the N-terminal of the heavy chain by means of a linker, or the C-terminal of the heavy chain is operably linked to the N-terminal of the light chain by means of a linker. In some embodiments, the linker comprises a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 153.
[0089] In some aspects, biparatopic antibodies comprise a scFv and a natural-sized IgG antibody. In some embodiments, the N-terminal of the scFv is operably linked to the C-terminal of a heavy chain of the natural-sized IgG antibody. In some aspects, the C-terminal of the ScFv is operably linked to the N-terminal of a heavy chain of the natural-sized IgG antibody.
[0090] In some respects, scFv is operably linked to the full-size IgG antibody heavy chain using a linker. In some respects, the linker comprises or consists of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 152.
[0091] In some aspects of the biparatopic drug-antibody conjugates described herein, the biparatopic antibody comprises a full-size IgG antibody comprising the first antigen-binding domain, and the second antigen-binding domain comprising an scFv, and the antibody-drug conjugate comprises four polypeptides comprising two polypeptides comprising, from the N-terminal to the C-terminal, the heavy chain of the full-size IgG antibody, a linker and the second antigen-binding domain; and two polypeptides comprising the light chain of the full-size IgG antibody.
[0092] In some aspects of antibody-drug conjugates, the antibody-drug conjugate comprises a full-size IgG antibody comprising the first antigen-binding domain. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 49 / 297 38 / 214 and the second antigen-binding domain comprises an scFv, and the antibody-drug conjugate comprises four polypeptides comprising two polypeptides comprising, from the N-terminal to the C-terminal, the second antigen-binding domain, a ligand and the full-size IgG antibody heavy chain; and two polypeptides comprising the full-size IgG antibody light chain.
[0093] As used herein, binding affinity refers to the tendency of one molecule to bind (typically non-covalently) to another molecule, such as the tendency of one member of a specific binding pair to another member of a specific binding pair. A binding affinity can be measured as a dissociation constant, which for a specific binding pair (such as an antibody / antigen pair) can be less than 1 χ 10-5M, less than 1 χ 10-6M, less than 1 χ 10-7M, less than 1 χ 10-8M, less than 1 χ 10-9M, less than 1 χ 10-10M, less than 1 χ 10-11M, or less than 1 χ 10-12M. In one aspect, binding affinity is calculated by a modification of the Scatchard method described by Frankel et al., Mol. Immunol., 16:101-106, 1979. In another aspect, binding affinity is measured by a binding constant. In yet another aspect, binding affinity is measured by an antigen / antibody dissociation rate.In yet another aspect, a high binding affinity is measured by a competitive radioimmunoassay.
[0094] The term dissociation constant, or KD(M), as used herein, refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction. In one aspect, KD is determined, for example, by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology on a BIAcore 8000 instrument, using the antigen as the ligand and the antibody as the analyte. In some aspects, the antibody binds to the predetermined antigen with a color affinity. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 50 / 297 39 / 214 responding to a KD that is at least ten times smaller, such as at least 100 times smaller, for example, at least 1,000 times smaller, such as at least 10,000 times smaller, for example, at least 100,000 times smaller, than its affinity to bind to a non-specific antigen (e.g., BSA, casein) other than the predetermined antigen or a closely related antigen. The amount by which the affinity is smaller is dependent on the antibody's KD, so that when the antibody's KD is very low (i.e., the antibody is highly specific), then the amount by which the affinity for the antigen is smaller than the affinity for a non-specific antigen can be at least 10,000 times larger.

In some aspects, the KD for 5T4 binding is between approximately 3.63 x 10⁻¹² and approximately 1.43 x 10⁹M.

Therapeutic Agents
[00247] The antigen- and antibody-binding domains specific for 5T4 described may be conjugated to a therapeutic agent or effector molecule, including, but not limited to, molecules in which there is a covalent bond of the therapeutic agent to the antigen- or antibody-binding domain. A therapeutic agent is an agent with a specific biological activity directed against a specific target molecule or a cell bearing a target molecule. A person skilled in the art will understand that therapeutic agents may include various drugs, such as vinblastine, daunomycin and the like, cytotoxins, such as native or modified Pseudomonas exotoxin or diphtheria toxin, encapsulating agents (such as liposomes) containing pharmacological compositions, radioactive agents, such as 125I, 32P, 14C, 3H and 35S and other markers, target groups and ligands.
[00248] In some modalities, the therapeutic agent is a chemotherapeutic agent.
[00249] The choice of a specific therapeutic agent depends on the specific target molecule or cell and the desired biological effect. Thus, for example, the therapeutic agent may be a cytotoxin used to cause the death of a specific target cell (such as a tumor cell). On the other hand, when a non-lethal biological response is desired, the therapeutic agent may be conjugated to a Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 151 / 297 140 / 214 non-lethal pharmacological agent or a liposome containing a non-lethal pharmacological agent.
[00250] Effector molecules can be linked to an antigen- or antibody-binding domain of interest using various means known to those skilled in the art. Both covalent and non-covalent linking methods can be used. The procedure for linking an effector molecule to an antibody varies depending on the chemical structure of the effector. Polypeptides typically contain a variety of functional groups, such as carboxylic acid (COOH), free amine groups (—NH2), or sulfhydryl groups (—SH), which are available for reaction with a suitable functional group on an antibody, resulting in the binding of the effector molecule. Alternatively, the antigen- or antibody-binding domain is derivatized to expose or link additional reactive functional groups. Derivatization may involve the attachment of any one of several known ligand molecules. The ligand can be any molecule used to link the antibody to the effector molecule.The ligand is capable of forming covalent bonds with both the protein and the effector molecule. Suitable ligands are well known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, linear or branched chain carbon ligands, heterocyclic carbon ligands, or peptide ligands. When the protein and effector molecule are polypeptides, the ligands can be attached to the constituent amino acids via their side groups (such as via a disulfide bond to cysteine) or to the amino and carboxyl groups of the alpha carbon of the terminal amino acids.
[00251] In some circumstances, it is desirable to release the effector molecule from the antigen- or antibody-binding domain when the immunoconjugate reaches its target site. Therefore, in these circumstances, immunoconjugates will comprise cleavable linkages in the vicinity of the target site. Cleavage of the ligand to release the effector molecule from Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 152 / 297 141 / 214 antibody may be induced by enzymatic activity or by the conditions to which the immunoconjugate is subjected, either within the target cell or in the vicinity of the target site.
[00252] One skilled in the art will be able to determine a suitable method for linking a given agent to an antibody or other polypeptide.
[00253] In some respects, the chemotherapeutic agent is conjugated to at least one of the first antigen-binding domains or second antigen-binding domains of biparatopic antibodies, described herein by means of a ligand. In some respects, the chemotherapeutic agent is an auristatin. In some respects, the auristatin is selected from the group consisting of auristatin E (AE), monomethyl auristatin D (MMAD), monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF), and synthetic analogs of dolastatin. In some respects, the ligand is a cleavable ligand. In other respects, the ligand is a non-cleavable ligand.
[00254] The biparatopic antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) against 5T4 of the present invention comprise a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a first 5T4 epitope, a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to a second 5T4 epitope that is not the same as the first 5T4 epitope, wherein the first antigen-binding domain is operably linked to the second antigen-binding domain, and is conjugated to a cytotoxic or immunosuppressive agent, such that the resulting ADC exerts a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect on a cancer cell expressing 5T4. Thus, the biparatopic anti-5T4 drug-antibody conjugate exerts a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect on cancer cells expressing 5T4. In one embodiment, the anti-5T4 ADC is internalized and accumulates within a cell that expresses 5T4, where the ADC exerts a therapeutic effect (by Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 153 / 297 142 / 214 example, a cytotoxic, cytostatic or immunosuppressive effect).
[00255] Examples of suitable moieties for conjugation with antigen-binding domains and antibodies include chemotherapeutic agents, prodrug-converting enzymes, radioactive isotopes or compounds, or toxins. In exemplary embodiments, the anti-5T4 antibody, or an antigen-binding moiety thereof, is conjugated to an auristatin, for example, MMAF or MMAE. Any agent that exerts a therapeutic effect on cancer cells or activated immune cells may be used as a therapeutic agent for conjugation with an anti-5T4 antibody or a derivative thereof (see, for example, WO 2004 / 010957, Drug Conjugates and Their Use for Treating Cancer, An Autoimmune Disease or an Infectious Disease (above) and US Provisional Application No. 60 / 400.403 (above)). Typically, the therapeutic agent is a cytotoxic agent.In some embodiments, an anti-5T4 antibody-drug conjugate comprises more than one therapeutic agent per conjugate, for example, from about 1 to about 20 therapeutic agents per conjugate (commonly referred to as the drug-antibody ratio, or DAR).
[00256] In some embodiments, the anti-5T4 antibody, or an antigen-binding portion thereof, is conjugated to an auristatin. Auristatins have been shown to interfere with microtubule dynamics, GTP hydrolysis and / or nuclear and cell division, and possess anticancer and / or antifungal activity.
[00257] An anti-5T4 antibody or antigen-binding domain of the invention may be conjugated to at least one auristatin. Auristatins represent a group of dolastatin analogs that generally demonstrate anticancer activity by interfering with microtubule dynamics and GTP hydrolysis, thereby inhibiting cell division. For example, Auristatin E (described in U.S. Patent No. 5,635,483, incorporated herein by reference) is an analog of... Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, page 154 / 297 143 / 214 synthetic logo of the marine natural product dolastatin 10, a compound that inhibits tubulin polymerization by binding to the same site on tubulin as the anticancer drug vincristine (GR Pettit, Prog. Chem. Org. Nat. Prod, 70: 1-79 (1997)). Dolastatin 10, auristatin PE and auristatin E are linear peptides with four amino acids, three of which are unique to the dolastatin class of compounds. Examples of the auristatin subclass of mitotic inhibitors include, among others, monomethyl auristatin D (MMAD or auristatin D derivative), monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE or auristatin E derivative), monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF or auristatin F derivative), auristatin F phenylenediamine (AFP), auristatin EB (AEB), auristatin EFP (AEFP), and 5-benzoylvaleric acid ester-AE (AEVB). The synthesis and structure of auristatin derivatives are described in U.S. Patent Application Publications Nos. 2003-0083263, 20050238649, and 2005-0009751.International Patent Publication No. WO 04 / 010957, International Patent Publication No. WO 02 / 088172 and U.S. Patents Nos. 6,323,315; 6,239,104; 6,034,065; 5,780,588; 5,665,860; 5,663,149; 5,635,483; 5,599,902; 5,554,725; 5,530,097; 5,521,284; 5,504,191; 5,410,024; 5,138,036; 5,076,973; 4,986,988; 4,978,744; 4,879,278; 4,816,444; and 4,486,414, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[00258] In some embodiments, an anti-5T4 antibody or antigen-binding domain is conjugated to at least one MMAF (monomethyl auristatin F) by a ligand such as, but not limited to, maleimidocaproyl (mc-MMAF). An anti-5T4 ADC may have a drug-antibody ratio (DAR) of 2, 4, 6, or 8. Notably, the DAR of an ADC may range from 0 to 8, although higher loadings, e.g., 10, 12, or 14, are also possible. Monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) inhibits cell division by blocking tubulin polymerization. It possesses a charged C-terminal phenylalanine residue that performs Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 155 / 297 144 / 214 its cytotoxic activity compared to its uncharged counterpart, MMAE. Due to its toxicity, it cannot be used as a drug on its own, but it can be linked to a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets it to cancer cells. In one embodiment, the ligand for the anti-5T4 antibody is stable in the extracellular fluid, but is cleaved by cathepsin as soon as the conjugate enters the tumor cell, thereby activating the antimitotic mechanism.
[00259] In some embodiments, the anti-5T4 antibody or antigen-binding domain of the invention is conjugated to at least one MMAE (monomethyl auristatin E). Monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE, vedotin) inhibits cell division by blocking tubulin polymerization. Due to its toxicity, it often cannot be used as a drug on its own. In recent developments in cancer therapy, it is linked to a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizes the expression of a specific marker on cancer cells and targets the MMAE to the cancer cells. In some embodiments, the ligand that links MMAE to the anti-5T4 antibody or to the antigen-binding domain is stable in the extracellular fluid (i.e., the medium or environment external to the cells), but is cleaved by cathepsin as soon as the ADC binds to the specific antigen of the cancer cell and penetrates the cancer cell, thus releasing the toxic MMAE and activating the potent antimitotic mechanism.
[00260] In some embodiments, the anti-5T4 antibody, or its antigen-binding moiety, is conjugated to an auristatin, which is MMAF. In some embodiments, the anti-5T4 ADC is covalently linked to one or more molecules of monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF). In some embodiments, to generate the anti-5T4 ADC covalently linked to one or more molecules of MMAF, the interchain disulfide bonds of the ADC are reduced to sulfhydryl groups. The MMAF is then coupled to the antibody through these sulfhydryl groups. In some embodiments, to generate the anti-5T4 ADC covalently linked to one or more molecules of MMAF, the interchain disulfide bonds of the ADC are reduced to sulfhydryl groups. The MMAF is then coupled to the antibody through these sulfhydryl groups. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 156 / 297 145 / 214 but modalities, the anti-5T4 ADC is generated using a non-cleavable linker, namely a non-cleavable maleimidocaproyl (mc) linkage.
[00261] ADCs that can be tagged with a detectable or functional marker. Detectable tracers include, but are not limited to, radiotracers such as the isotopes .sup.2H, .sup.3H, .sup.11C, .sup.13C, .sup.14C, .sup.32P, .sup.33S, .sup.34S, .sup.35S, .sup.36S, .sup.36Cl, .sup.51Cr, .sup.57Co, .sup.58Co, .sup.59Fe, .sup.90Y, .sup.121I, .sup.124I, .sup.125I, .sup.131I, .sup.211At, .sup.198Au, .sup.67Cu, .sup.225Ac, .sup.213Bi, .sup.99Tc, and .sup.186Re, which can be linked to the antibodies of the invention using conventional chemistry known in antibody imaging techniques. The markers also include fluorescent markers and markers conventionally used in magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography techniques. They also include enzymatic markers, such as horseradish peroxidase.The markers also include chemical moieties, such as biotin, which can be detected by binding to a specific detectable cognate moiety, for example, labeled avidin.
[00262] Functional markers may also include substances designed to be targeted to the site of a tumor to cause the destruction of tumor tissue. Such functional markers include cytotoxic drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil or ricin, and enzymes, such as bacterial carboxypeptidase or nitroreductase, which are capable of converting prodrugs into active drugs at the site of a tumor.
[00263] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the agents described above, as well as other suitable agents, may be conjugated or linked to an anti-5T4 antibody, such as the antibodies represented in Figures 1A and 1B, in any manner suitable to produce an anti-5T4 ADC of the present invention. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 157 / 297 146 / 214 For example, and without limitation, in various embodiments of the present invention, the anti-5T4 antibody and the agent(s) can be covalently linked and / or conjugated using linker compounds, spacers and / or extenders, which in various embodiments of the present invention are cleavable or non-cleavable, and result in the internalization of the therapeutic agent(s) by the target cell.
[00264] In one embodiment, the anti-5T4 antibody or antigen-binding domain is conjugated to MMAF using a non-cleavable maleimidocaproyl linker.
[00265] Techniques for conjugating therapeutic agents to proteins, and in particular to antibodies, are known in the art (see, for example, Arnon et al., Monoclonal Antibodies For Immunotargeting Of. Drugs n Cancer Therapy, in Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy (Reisfeld et al. eds., Alan R. Liss, Inc., 1985); Hellstrom et al., Antibodies For Drug Delivery, in Controlled Drug Administration (Robinson et al. eds., Marcel Dekker, Inc., 2nd ed., 1987); Thorpe, Antibody Carriers Of.

Rev. 62:119-58. See also, for example, PCT publication WO 89 / 12624).
[00266] In some embodiments, the ADC comprises a binding region between the cytotoxic agent and the antibody- or antigen-binding domain. For example, such binding compounds, spacers, and / or extenders include, but are not limited to, the following: aminobenzoic acid spacers (see, for example, and without limitation, U.S. Patents Nos. 7,091,186 and 7,553,816, each of which Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 158 / 297 147 / 214 which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety); maleimidocaproyl; p-aminobenzylcarbamoyl (PAB); lysosomal enzyme-cleavable ligands (see, for example, and without limitation, U.S. Patent No. 6,214,345, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety); maleimidocaproyl-polyethylene 20 glycol (MC(PEG)6-OH); N-methylvaline citrulline; N-succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) (see, for example, and without limitation, Yoshitake et al.

In general, techniques for linking and / or conjugating the agents described above, as well as other agents, to specific linking members of the present invention, particularly antibodies and their fragments, are known in the art. See, for example, and without limitation, Hellstrom et al., Antibodies For Drug Delivery, in Controlled Drug Delivery (2nd ed.), Robinson et al.

[00267] A range of different reactions are available for li Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 159 / 297 148 / 214 Covalent linkage of drugs to antibodies or antigen-binding domains. This is generally accomplished by the reaction of amino acid residues of the antibody molecule, including the amine groups of lysine, the free carboxylic acid groups of glutamic and aspartic acids, the sulfhydryl groups of cysteine, and the various moieties of aromatic amino acids. One of the most commonly used non-specific methods of covalent linkage is the carbodiimide reaction to link a carboxyl (or amino) group of a compound to amino (or carboxyl) groups of the antibody. Additionally, bifunctional agents such as dialdehydes or imidoesters have been used to link the amino group of a compound to amino groups of the antibody molecule. Also available for drug-to-antibody linkage is the Schiff base reaction. This method involves the periodate oxidation of a drug containing glycol or hydroxyl groups, thus forming an aldehyde that is then reacted with the antibody molecule.The binding occurs through the formation of a Schiff base with amino groups of the antibody molecule. Isothiocyanates can also be used as coupling agents for the covalent binding of drugs to antibodies. Other techniques are known to those skilled in the art and fall within the scope of the present invention. Non-limiting examples of such techniques are described, for example, in U.S. Patents Nos. 5,665,358; 5,643,573; and 5,556,623, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

In some embodiments, the first polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 142.
[00282] In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide encodes a second polypeptide comprising a first light chain of the anti-5T4 antigen-binding domain. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence with SEQ ID NO: 146 or 147. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence with SEQ ID NO: 146 and 151. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence with SEQ ID NO: 147 and 151. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide comprises a nucleotide sequence with SEQ ID NO: 143.
[00283] In some embodiments, the first polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising a sequence with SEQ ID NO: 100, or a sequence with at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, or at least 99% identity therewith. In some embodiments, the second polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising a sequence with SEQ ID NO: 101, or a sequence with at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, or at least 99% identity therewith.
[00284] In some embodiments, the polynucleotide sequences encoding each of the first and second polypeptides are operably linked to one or more promoters. For example, sequences of the polypeptides may be operably linked (under the control of) to the same promoter and separated by one or more elements that produce distinct polypeptides, such as self-cleaving polypeptides, entry sites into the inner ribosome, and the like.
[00285] In alternative modes, the sequences of the first or Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 164 / 297 153 / 214 of the second polynucleotides encoding the first or second polypeptides are under the control of separate promoters. For example, each of the first and second polynucleotides can be cloned into a separate expression vector, each vector comprising its own promoter and / or regulatory sequences. In some embodiments, the promoters operably linked to each of the first and second polynucleotides are the same. In some embodiments, the promoters operably linked to each of the first and second polynucleotides are not the same.
[00286] In some embodiments, the polynucleotides of the present invention are prepared using PCR techniques, using procedures and methods known to one skilled in the art. In some embodiments, the procedure involves the ligation of two different DNA sequences (see, for example, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, eds. Ausubel et al., John Wiley & Sons, 1992).
[00287] With the antigen-, antibody-, and receptor-binding domains described herein, a technician can easily construct a variety of clones containing functionally equivalent nucleic acids, such as nucleic acids that differ in sequence but encode the same protein sequence. Thus, the present invention provides nucleic acids that encode antibodies for the same.
[00288] A polynucleotide sequence is operably linked when it is placed in a functional relationship with another polynucleotide sequence. For example, a polynucleotide presequence or secretory leader is operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 165 / 297 154 / 214 operably linked to a coding sequence if positioned to facilitate translation. Generally, operably linked means that the polynucleotide sequences being linked are contiguous and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in the same reading frame. However, enhancers are optionally contiguous. Linkage can be achieved, for example, by linkage at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, synthetic oligonucleotide adapters, linkers, or other methods known in the art can be used. In another embodiment, operably linked also refers to the functional pairing of distinct amino acid, peptide, or protein sequences, as in the combination of the first heavy chain of the anti-5T4 antigen-binding domain and the second anti-5T4 antigen-binding domain described herein, which are operably linked, optionally by means of linker sequences also described herein.For example, the first heavy chain of the anti-5T4 antigen-binding domain is operably linked to the second anti-5T4 antigen-binding domain via a linker sequence, as described herein.

A DNA sequence is expressed in or by a cell to form an expression product, such as a protein. The expression product itself, for example, the resulting protein, can also be considered expressed by the cell. An expression product can be characterized as intracellular, extracellular, or transmembrane. The term intracellular means something that is inside a cell. The term extracellular means something that is outside a cell. The term transmembrane means something that has an extracellular domain outside the cell, a portion embedded in the cell membrane, and an intracellular domain inside the cell.

For example, such vectors may include selectable markers appropriate for eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Suitable markers will be evident to persons skilled in the art.
[00294] In some embodiments, cloning vectors comprise transcription and translation initiation sequences (e.g., promoters, enhancer) and transcription terminators and Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 167 / 297 156 / 214 translation (e.g., polyadenylation signals) to increase the expression of polypeptides expressed from them. Suitable translation terminators include, but are not limited to, bovine growth hormone (BGH polyA) polyadenylation signals and the like. Suitable promoters will be evident to those skilled in the art and include the CMV promoter, the actin promoter, and the like.

[00296] In some embodiments, the expression vectors of the present invention include elements that enhance the expression of the antibodies of the invention. Such features include, among others, the choice of promoter and polyadenylation. In some embodiments, the polyadenylation sequence is a bovine growth hormone (BGH) polyadenylation sequence. In some embodiments, the promoter comprises a constitutively active promoter. In some embodiments, the promoter comprises a cytomegalovirus (pCMV) promoter. The promoters may, in some embodiments, be combined with additional elements to promote the expression of the recombinant proteins of the invention, such as introns (e.g., rabbit beta-globin intron, EF1a intron, and the like) and enhancer elements (immediate early CMV enhancer, SV40 enhancer, EF1a enhancer, major late adenoviral protein enhancer, and the like).

[00299] In some embodiments, for example, in bacterial systems used to express the polypeptides of the present invention, various expression vectors can be advantageously selected, depending on the intended use for the expressed protein. In some embodiments, vectors are desired that direct the expression of high levels of the protein product, possibly as a fusion with a hydrophobic signal sequence, which directs the expressed product to the periplasm of the bacterium or to the culture medium where the protein product is readily purified. In one embodiment, vectors adaptable to such manipulation include, among others, the pET series of E. coli expression vectors (see Studier et al., Methods in Enzymol. 185:60-89 (1990)).

[00300] In some embodiments, yeast expression systems are used to express the polypeptides of the present invention. In one embodiment, various vectors containing constitutive or inducible promoters can be used in yeast, as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,932,447. In another embodiment, vectors are used that promote the integration of foreign DNA sequences into the yeast chromosome.
[00301] In some embodiments, recombinant viral vectors are useful for the in vivo expression of the polypeptides of the present invention, since they offer advantages such as lateral infection and targeting specificity. In one embodiment, lateral infection is inherent to the life cycle of, for example, retroviruses and is the process by which a single infected cell produces many progeny virions that bud off and infect neighboring cells. In one embodiment, the result is that a large area is rapidly infected, most of which was not initially infected by the original viral particles. In one embodiment, viral vectors incapable of lateral spreading are produced. In one embodiment, this characteristic can be useful if the desired goal is to introduce a specific gene into only a localized number of target cells.

[00341] A cancer treated with antigen-binding domains, antibodies, immune cells, or antibody-drug conjugates or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention comprising the same, may be staged according to a classification of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) as Stage I, Stage IIA, Stage IIB, Stage IIIA, Stage IIIB, Stage IIIC, or Stage IV. A cancer requiring treatment may be graded according to an AJCC classification such as Grade GX (e.g., grade cannot be assessed), Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4. A cancer requiring treatment may be staged according to an AJCC pathological classification (pN) of pNX, pN0, PN0 (I-), PN0 (I+), PN0 (mol-), PN0 (mol+), PN1, PN1 (mi), PN1a, PN1b, PN1c, pN2, pN2a, pN2b, pN3, pN3a, pN3b, or pN3c. Alternatively, or additionally, a cancer may be staged according to the TNM staging system, which divides most cancer types into 4 stages.Stage 1 generally means that a cancer is relatively small and contained within the organ of origin. Stage 2 cancers have generally not begun to spread to surrounding tissues, but the tumor is larger than a Stage 1 tumor. In some modalities, Stage 2 means that the cancer has spread to lymph nodes near the tumor. Stage 3 cancers are generally larger and have begun to spread to surrounding tissues and lymph nodes. Stage 4, or metastatic, cancers are typically cancers that have spread from the point of origin to other organ(s) in the body.
[00342] As used herein, a normal cell is a cell that Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 183 / 297 172 / 214 cannot be classified as part of a proliferative cell disorder. A normal cell does not exhibit unregulated or abnormal growth, or both, that could lead to the development of an undesirable condition or disease. Preferably, a normal cell has cell cycle checkpoint control mechanisms that function normally.
[00343] As used herein, contact with a cell refers to a condition in which an antibody-drug conjugate or other composition of matter is in direct contact with a cell, or is close enough to induce a desired biological effect in a cell.
[00344] As used herein, monotherapy refers to the administration of a single active or therapeutic compound to an individual who needs it. Preferably, monotherapy will involve the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an active compound. Monotherapy may be contrasted with combination therapy, in which a combination of multiple active compounds is administered, preferably with each component of the combination present in a therapeutically effective amount.
[00345] As used herein, treating or treating describes the management and care of an individual for the purpose of combating a disease, condition or disorder and includes the administration of an anti-5T4 antigen-binding domain, antibody, antibody-drug conjugate, immune cell expressing an anti-5T4 receptor or pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprising the same, to alleviate the symptoms or complications of cancer or to eliminate cancer.
[00346] As used herein, the term alleviate describes a process by which the severity of a sign or symptom of cancer is reduced. It is important to note that a sign or symptom can be alleviated without being eliminated. In a preferred modality, the administration of Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 184 / 297 173 / 214 A recombinant anti-5T4 antibody drug conjugate or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention leads to the elimination of a sign or symptom; however, elimination is not required. Effective dosages are expected to decrease the severity of a sign or symptom. For example, a sign or symptom of a disease such as cancer, which may occur in multiple locations, is alleviated if the severity of the cancer is reduced in at least one of the multiple locations.
[00347] As used herein, the term severity describes the potential of cancer to transform from a precancerous, or benign, state into a malignant state. Alternatively, or additionally, severity describes the stage of the cancer, for example, according to the TNM system (accepted by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)) or by other methods recognized by the art. Cancer stage refers to the extent or severity of the cancer, based on factors such as the location of the primary tumor, the size of the tumor, the number of tumors, and lymph node involvement (spread of cancer to the lymph nodes). Alternatively, or additionally, severity describes the grade of the tumor by methods recognized by the art (see the National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov).Tumor grading is a system used to classify cancer cells in terms of how abnormal they appear under a microscope and how quickly the tumor is likely to grow and spread. Many factors are considered when determining tumor grade, including the structure and growth pattern of the cells. The specific factors used to determine tumor grade vary depending on the type of cancer. Severity also describes a histological grade, also called differentiation, which refers to how closely the tumor cells resemble normal cells of the same tissue type (see the National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov). Furthermore, a. Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 185 / 297 174 / 214 severity describes a nuclear grade, which refers to the size and shape of the nucleus in tumor cells and the percentage of tumor cells that are dividing (see the National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov).
[00348] As used herein, the term aggressive indicates a cancer that can grow, form, or spread rapidly. Cancers termed aggressive may be amenable to treatment or may be resistant to treatment. An aggressive cancer may encompass any type of cancer. Alternatively, or additionally, the term aggressive may describe a cancer that requires more severe or intensive treatment than usual.
[00349] As used herein, the term refractory describes a cancer that does not respond to an attempt at treatment. Refractory cancers may also be referred to as resistant cancers.
[00350] In another aspect of the invention, severity describes the degree to which a tumor has secreted growth factors, degraded the extracellular matrix, become vascularized, lost adhesion to adjacent tissues, or metastasized. Furthermore, severity describes the number of sites to which a primary tumor has metastasized. Finally, severity includes the difficulty of treating tumors of various types and locations. For example, inoperable tumors, those cancers that have greater access to multiple body systems (hematologic and immunological tumors), and those that are more resistant to traditional treatments are considered the most severe. In these situations, prolonging the individual's life expectancy and / or reducing pain, decreasing the proportion of cancerous cells or restricting the cells to one system, and improving the tumor stage / grade / histologic grade / nuclear grade of the cancer are considered as relief of a sign or symptom of cancer.
[00351] As used herein, the term symptom is defined as a Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 186 / 297 175 / 214 indication of illness, disease, injury, or that something is not right in the body. The symptoms are felt or perceived by the individual who presents them, but may not be easily perceived by others. Others are defined as professionals who are not in the health field.
[00352] As used here, the term sign is also defined as an indication that something is not right in the body. But signs are defined as things that can be seen by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional.
[00353] Cancer is a group of diseases that can cause any sign or symptom. The signs and symptoms will depend on the location of the cancer, the size of the cancer, and how much it affects nearby organs or structures. If a cancer spreads (metastasis), symptoms may appear in different parts of the body.
[00354] As cancer grows, it begins to press on nearby organs, blood vessels, and nerves. This pressure creates some of the signs and symptoms of cancer. Cancers can form in locations where they don't cause any symptoms until the cancer has grown quite large.
[00355] Cancer can also cause symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or weight loss. This can occur because cancer cells consume a large portion of the body's energy supply or release substances that alter the body's metabolism. Or cancer can cause the immune system to react in ways that produce these symptoms. Although the signs and symptoms listed above are the most common observed in cancer, there are many others that are less common and are not listed here. However, all signs and symptoms of cancer recognized by the art are contemplated and covered by the invention.
[00356] Cancer treatment can result in a reduction in size Petition 870250084408, dated 09 / 19 / 2025, pp. 187 / 297 176 / 214 tumor size. The reduction in the size of a tumor may also be called tumor regression. Preferably, after treatment according to the methods of the invention, the size of the tumor is reduced by 5% or more compared to its pre-treatment size; more preferably, the size of the tumor is reduced by 10% or more; more preferably, reduced by 20% or more; more preferably, reduced by 30% or more; more preferably, reduced by 40% or more; even more preferably, reduced by 50% or more; and most preferably, reduced by more than 75% or more.

The number of metastatic lesions can be measured by counting metastatic lesions visible to the naked eye or with a specific magnification. Preferably, the specific magnification is 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x or 50x.
[00360] Cancer treatment may result in an increase in the average survival time of a population of treated individuals compared to a population not receiving the anti-5T4 drug-antibody conjugate, or pharmaceutical composition of the invention containing it. Preferably, the average survival time is increased by more than 30 days; more preferably, by more than 60 days; most preferably, by more than 90 days; and even more preferably, by more than 120 days. An increase in the average survival time of a population can be measured by any reproducible means.

An increase in the average survival time of a population can also be measured, for example, by calculating for a population the average duration of survival after the completion of a first cycle of treatment with an active compound.
[00361] Cancer treatment may result in a decrease in the mortality rate of a population of treated individuals compared to a population not receiving the anti-5T4 drug-antibody conjugate, or pharmaceutical composition of the invention containing it. Cancer treatment may result in a decrease in the mortality rate of a population of treated individuals compared to an untreated population. Cancer treatment may result in a decrease in the mortality rate of a population of treated individuals compared to a population receiving monotherapy with a drug other than an anti-5T4 drug-antibody conjugate or pharmaceutical composition of the invention. A decrease in the mortality rate of a population of treated individuals may be measured by any reproducible means.A decrease in the mortality rate of a population can be measured, for example, by calculating, for a population, the average number of disease-related deaths per unit of time after the start of treatment with an active compound. A decrease in the mortality rate of a population can also be measured, for example, by calculating, for a population, the average number of disease-related deaths per unit of time after the completion of a first cycle of treatment with the antibody-drug conjugates described herein.
[00362] Cancer treatment can result in a decrease in the rate of tumor growth.
