(which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). [Background technology]
[0002] Antibody-based therapeutics treat a variety of diseases, including cancer and autoimmune / inflammatory disorders However, there are still many unknowns about this class of drugs, particularly their clinical efficacy. Improvements are still needed to enhance efficacy. One approach is to incorporate additional and novel antigen-binding sites into antibody-based drugs, thereby allowing the binding of a single immunoglobulin. The goal is to modify the phosphomolecule so that it can co-associate with two different antigens. Such non-natural or alternative antibody formats that associate with The remarkable diversity of antibody variable regions (Fv) allows the This allows the creation of Fvs that essentially recognize each other, making it possible to create bispecific antibodies. A typical approach to this is to introduce novel variable regions into the antibody.
[0003] Several alternative antibody formats targeting bispecificity are being explored (Chames & Baty,2009,mAbs 1[6]:1-9;Holliger&Hudson, 2005,Nature Biotechnology 23[9]:1126-113 6;Kontermann,mAbs 4(2):182(2012), all of them (Expressly incorporated herein by reference). Initially, bispecific antibodies were developed based on the idea that each antibody contained a single It was produced by fusing two cell lines that produce monoclonal antibodies (Mi Stein et al., 1983, Nature 305:537-540). profit The hybrid hybridomas or quadromas produced bispecific antibodies. However, they represent only a minority population, and large-scale purification is required to isolate the desired antibodies. An engineering solution to this is the use of antibody fragments to create bispecific antibodies. Such fragments lack the complex quaternary structure of full-length antibodies, and therefore contain only the variable light chain and The variable heavy chains can be linked in a single genetic construct. Bispecific antibodies, single-chain bispecific Antibody fragments in many different forms, including antibodies, tandem scFvs, and Fab2 bispecifics The fragments have been prepared (Chames & Baty, 2009, mAbs 1[6]:1-9 ;Holliger&Hudson,2005,Nature Biotechnolo gy 23[9]:1126-1136; expressly incorporated herein by reference). These formats are preferred because they can be expressed at high levels in bacteria and because of their small size. Although they may have the advantage of good permeability, they are rapidly cleared in vivo and their production and These drawbacks are primarily due to the fact that antibody fragments typically maintain a long half-life in serum (i.e., neonatal Fc receptor FcRn) or Larger groups serve as binding sites for the synthesis of proteins (i.e., Protein A and Protein G). Its properties, including size, high stability, and binding to various Fc receptors and ligands, The main drawback is the lack of antibody constant regions that have the functional properties of the antibody.
[0004] More recent work has demonstrated the feasibility of fragment-based antibody binding by engineering double bonds into full-length antibody-like formats. Attempts have been made to address the shortcomings of bispecifics (Wu et al., 2007, Na ture Biotechnology 25
[11] :1290-1297;U.S. Patent Application No. 12 / 477,711; Michaelson et al., 2009 ,mAbs 1[2]:128-141;PCT / US Patent Application Publication No. 2008 / 074 Specification No. 693; Zuo et al., 2000, Protein Engineer ing 13[5]:361-367; U.S. Patent Application No. 09 / 865,198; Shen et al.,2006,J Biol Chem 281
[16] :107 06-10714;Lu et al.,2005,J Biol Chem 280
[0020] :19665-19672;PCT / US Patent Application Publication No. 2005 / 025472 (Expressly incorporated herein by reference). These formats primarily contain the Fc region. These formats overcome some of the drawbacks of antibody fragment bispecifics because they have a wide range of functions. One notable drawback is that it requires the construction of a new antigen-binding site on top of the homodimeric constant chain. The key point is that binding to new antigens is always bivalent.
[0005] For multiple antigens that are interesting as simultaneous targets in a therapeutic bispecific format, it is desirable Binding is monovalent, not bivalent. For many immune receptors, cell activation occurs through monovalent binding interactions. The cross-linking mechanism is typically achieved by antibody / antigen immune complexes. or mediated through effector cell to target cell engagement. For example, FcγR Low affinity Fc gamma receptors (F Monovalent binding occurs when antibodies expressing these FcγRs bind to the Fc region of the antibody. However, upon immune complex formation or cell-cell contact, the receptor They are cross-linked and clustered on the cell surface, causing activation and mediating cell killing. Receptors involved in this, such as FcγRIIIa on natural killer (NK) cells, Receptor cross-linking and cell activation allow effector cells to meet target cells in a highly active manner. This occurs when the two proteins are combined (Bowles & Weiner, 2005, J Immunol Methods 304:88-99, expressly incorporated by reference). The inhibitory receptor FcγRIIb on cells binds to immune complexes with the cell surface B cell receptor (BCR). downregulates B cell activation only when associated with soluble IgG and the BCR. The mechanism is mediated by immune complex formation with the same antigen recognized by the host (Heym an 2003, Immunol Lett 88[2]:157-161;Smith and Clatworthy,2010,Nature Reviews Immu (Likely a misreading of the text, but likely a misreading of the text, possibly a misreading of the text) CD3 activation of T cells results in highly active intercellular signaling of their associated T cell receptors (TCRs). In B. napus, this occurs only when antigens on antigen-presenting cells interact with loaded MHC (Kuhns et al., 2006, Immunity 24:133-139). Of course, nonspecific bivalent cross-linking of CD3 with anti-CD3 antibodies can result in cytokine stress. This induces inflammation and toxicity (Perruche et al., 2009, J Imm unol 183[2]:953-61;Chatenoud&Bluestone,2 007,Nature Reviews Immunology 7:622-632; (Expressly incorporated by reference). Therefore, in practical clinical use, the redirected The preferred mode of CD3 co-engagement for killing of target cells is It is a monovalent bond that only brings about activation.
[0006] CD38, also known as cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase, contains a long C-terminal extracellular It is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein with a cytoplasmic domain and a short N-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Among blood cells, functional effects include lymphocyte proliferation, cytokine release, B and myeloid lineages CD38-mediated signaling, including regulation of cell development and survival, and induction of dendritic cell maturation CD38 is a key regulator of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Burkitt's lymphoma (BLL), and leukemia (LE). Myeloma (BL), multiple myeloma (MM), B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), B and T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), T-cell lymphoma (TCL), acute myeloid leukemia (AM) L), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) It is expressed in many hematopoietic malignancies, including CML, and in cell lines derived from various hematopoietic malignancies. On the other hand, most undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells in the hematopoietic system are CD38 negative. Despite recent advances in cancer drug discovery and development, many tumors, including CD38-expressing tumors, remain untreated. These forms of cancer still have a poor prognosis. There is a need for improved methods for
[0007] The B cell antigen CD19 (also known as CD19, B cell surface antigen B4, and Leu-12) , a human pan- expressed from early stages of pre-B cell development through terminal differentiation into plasma cells CD19 is a B cell surface marker that promotes the proliferation and survival of mature B cells. On the cell surface, it associates in a complex with CD21. It also interacts with CD81 and Leu- 13 and enhances B cell receptor (BCR) signaling. Together with the BCR, CD 19 is a unique antigen receptor-induced protein important for B cell clonal expansion and humoral immunity. It regulates signaling thresholds. In collaboration with CD21, it mediates the relationship between the adaptive and innate immune systems. Upon activation, the cytoplasmic tail of CD19 becomes phosphorylated, leading to the binding of Src-phosphorylated CD19. This results in the binding of myristate kinase and recruitment of PI-3 kinase. It is also expressed in NHL cells and some leukemias, making it a promising candidate for cancers derived from the lymphatic system. It is an interesting immunotherapy target.
[0008] Several antibodies or antibody conjugates targeting CD19 have been used in preclinical trials for the treatment of cancer. These anti-CD19 antibodies or antibody conjugates are being evaluated in experimental or clinical trials. Examples include, but are not limited to, MT-103 (single-chain bispecific CD19 / CD3 antibody; offman et al,2005 Int J Cancer 115:98-10 4;Schlereth et al,2006 Cancer Immunol Im munother 55:503-514), CD19 / CD16 bispecific antibody (Sc hlenzka et al,2004 Anti-cancer Drugs 15: 915-919;Kipriyanov et al,2002 J Immunol 169:137-144), BU12-saporin (Flavell et al, 199 5 Br J Cancer 72:1373-1379), and anti-CD19-Idal Bicine (Rowland et al, 1993 Cancer Immunol Im munother 55:503-514) (all expressly incorporated by reference) Examples include:

CD123 is also expressed on committed hematopoietic stem cells. The majority of myeloid lineage (CD13+, CD14+, CD33+, CD1 5low) and constitutively expressed by some CD19+ cells. + Absent in cells. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0010] Therefore, bispecific antibodies made from antibody fragments overcome biophysical and pharmacokinetic barriers. While the drawback of those constructed in a full-length antibody-like format is that they are unable to bind to the primary target antigen. Multivalent association with co-target antigens in the absence of a target molecule prevents nonspecific activation and potentially toxicity. The present invention provides a novel bispecific antibody specific to CD3 and CD38. By introducing this system, this problem will be solved. [Means for solving the problem]

[Figure 8] 1 depicts the sequence of the High CD38:OKT10_H1.77_L1.24 construct, which contains the variable heavy and variable light chain domains (CDRs underlined) and individual vl and vh CDRs, as well as an scFv construct with a charged linker (double underlined).

[Figure 28] The full-length (SEQ ID NO: 130) and extracellular domain (ECD; SEQ ID NO: 131) of human CD38 protein are shown. [Figure 29A] These represent useful pairs of heterodimerization mutant sets (including skew and pI mutants). In Figure 29E, there are mutants for which there is no corresponding "monomer 2" mutant. These are pI mutants that can be used alone on one monomer or can be included, for example, on the Fab side of a bottle opener, and an appropriate charged scFv linker can be used on the second monomer that utilizes an scFv as the second antigen-binding domain. Suitable charged linkers are shown in Figure 33. [Figure 29B] Same as above [Figure 29C] Same as above [Figure 29D] Same as above [Figure 29E] Same as above [Figure 30]
[0033] Figure 1 shows a list of the constant regions of the isomeric stereovariant antibodies and their respective substitutions. pI_(-) indicates a lower pI variant, while pI_(+) indicates a higher pI variant. These may optionally and independently be combined with other heterodimerization variants of the invention (and similarly other variant types as outlined herein). [Figure 31] Useful truncation mutants (sometimes referred to as "knockout" or "KO" mutants) that ablate FcγR binding are presented. [Figure 32] Two particularly useful embodiments of the present invention are presented. [Figure 33A]
[0033] The following describes several charged scFv linkers that find use in increasing or decreasing the pI of heterodimeric antibodies that utilize one or more scFv components. (+H) positive linkers find particular use herein, particularly with the anti-CD3 vl and vh sequences shown herein. A single prior art scFv linker bearing a single charge is referred to as "Whitlow" from Whitlow et al., Protein Engineering 6(8):989-995 (1993). It should be noted that this linker was used to reduce aggregation and enhance proteolytic stability in scFvs. [Figure 33B] Same as above [Figure 34] Figure 1 shows a list of engineered heterodimer-skewed Fc mutants along with their heterodimer yield (measured by HPLC-CIEX) and thermal stability (measured by DSC).

[00130] Figure 33 depicts the sequence of High CD20 C2B8_H1.202_L1.113. The charged linker depicted is (+H), although other charged or uncharged linkers such as those depicted in Figure 33 can be used. [Figure 122] Figure 33 depicts the sequence of Low CD20 C2B8_H1L1. The charged linker depicted is (+H), although other charged or uncharged linkers such as those depicted in Figure 33 can be used. [Figure 123] Figure 33 depicts the sequence of CD123 7G3_H1.109_L1.57. The charged linker depicted is (+H), although other charged or uncharged linkers such as those depicted in Figure 33 can be used. [Figure 124]A matrix of possible combinations in the present invention is shown. "A" means that the CDRs of the referenced CD3 sequence can be combined with the CDRs of TTA on the right. That is, the vhCDRs from the variable heavy chain CD3 H1.30 sequence and the vlCDRs from the variable light chain of the CD3 L1.57 sequence can be combined with the vhCDRs from the CD38 OKT10 H1.77 sequence and the vlCDRs from the OKT10L1.24 sequence. "B" means that the CDRs from the CD3 construct can be combined with the variable heavy and variable light chain domains from TTA. That is, the vhCDRs from the variable heavy chain CD3 H1.30 sequence and the vlCDRs from the variable light chain of the CD3 L1.57 sequence can be combined with the variable heavy chain domains CD38 OKT10 H1.77 sequence and the OKT10L1.24 sequence. By reversing "C," the variable heavy and variable light chain domains from the CD3 sequence are used together with the CDRs of TTA. "D" is when both the variable heavy and variable light chains from each are combined. "E" is when a CD3 scFv is used with the TTA CDRs, and "F" is when a CD3 scFv is used with the variable heavy and variable light domains of the TTA antigen-binding domain. All of these combinations can be made in a bottle-opener format, for example, with any of the scaffold formats shown in Figure 162, or in alternative formats such as the mAb-Fv, mAb-scFv, Central-scFv, Central-Fv, or dual-scFv formats of Figure 1, including scaffolds of the formats shown in Figures 131 and 132. However, formats that would involve bivalent binding of CD3 are generally not preferred. That is, "A" (CD3 CDR x TTA CDR) can be added to the bottle opener sequence (including those in Figure 162 or different heterodimerization variants) or to the mAb-scFv scaffold of Figure 132, central-scFv, mAb-Fv format, or central-Fv format.

[00109] Figures 125A-C present data related to the difficulty of humanizing anti-CD123 murine sequences, as described in Example 3. Figures 125A-C show the loss of affinity due to humanization (primarily due to vH) when 13760 is the Fab of the H0L0 starting murine antibody, 13763 is the first humanized vH candidate, and 13761 has humanized heavy and light chain Fabs. Figure 125D shows the approximately 10-fold loss in RTCC potency as a result of humanization. [Figure 157] Figure 1 shows the results of the first round of humanization, which generated 108 mutants containing LDA, target, and back-substitutions that were affinity screened in Fab format on a Biacore CD123 chip, and the stability of neutral and higher affinity mutants was screened with DSF ("Library 1"). [Figure 158] 1 shows the increase in Tm discussed in Example 3. [Figure 159A] Figure 159 shows the results of converting the Fab into a bottle opener format using scFv and Fab against CD3 as described in detail. Figure 159A shows the binding assay and Figure 159B shows the RTCC assay. [Figure 159B] Same as above [Figure 160] Results from "round 2" of humanization as outlined in Example 3 are shown. Note that XENP13967 is equivalent to XENP14045 on the CD123 side. 13967 has a different CD3 scFv as shown in the sequence. [Figure 161] 1 shows the results of the round 2 Tm assay of Example 3. [Figure 162A] The sequences of some useful bottle opener-format scaffolds without the Fv sequence are shown (e.g., scFv and Fab-side vh and vl). As will be understood by those of skill in the art and outlined below, these sequences can be used with any of the vh and vl pairs outlined herein, where one monomer comprises an scFv (optionally including a charged scFv linker) and the other monomer comprises a Fab sequence (e.g., the vh is attached to the "Fab-side heavy chain" and the vl is attached to the "constant light chain"). The scFv can be anti-CD3 or anti-TTA, and the Fab can be other. That is, any of the Fv sequences outlined herein for CD3, CD123, CD38, CD19, or CD20 can be incorporated into these scaffolds in any combination. Note that these bottle opener scaffolds find use in the Central-scFv format of Figure 1B, where an additional second Fab (vh-CH1 and vl-constant light chain) with the same antigen binding as the first Fab is added to the N-terminus of the "bottle opener" scFv. [Figure 162B] Same as above [Figure 162C] Same as above [Figure 162D] Same as above [Figure 163]The sequences of the mAb-scFv scaffolds used in the present invention are shown, to which the Fv sequences of the present invention are added. As will be understood by those skilled in the art and outlined below, these sequences can be used with any of the vh and vl pairs outlined herein. One monomer contains both the Fab and scFv (optionally including a charged scFv linker), while the other monomer contains the Fab sequence (e.g., the vh is attached to the "Fab heavy chain" and the vl is attached to the "constant light chain"). Monomer 1 is the Fab-scFv pI negative side, and contains the heterodimerization mutant L368D / K370S, the homogenous pI mutants N208D / Q295E / N384D / Q418E / N421D, and the truncation mutants E233P / L234V / L235A / G236del / S267K (all relative to IgG1). Monomer 2 is the scFv pI positive side and contains the heterodimerization mutant 364K / E357Q, however, other pairs of skewed mutants can be used instead, particularly [S364K / E357Q:L368D / K370S]; [L368D / K370S:S364K]; [L368E / K370S:S364K]; [T411E / K360E / Q362E:D401K]; [L368D / K370S:S364K / E357L], and [K370S:S364K / E357Q]. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0029] I. Definition In order that this application may be more fully understood, some definitions are set forth below. Such definitions are , and grammatical equivalents are intended to be encompassed.
[0030] As used herein, "cleavage" refers to the reduction or elimination of activity. "Abrupts cγR binding" means that the amino acid variant in the Fc region is different from the Fc region without the specific variant. This means that the initial bond is 50% lower than in the 70-80-90-95-9 A loss of activity of less than 8% is preferred, and generally activity is detectable in the Biacore assay. The specific application of cleavage of FcγR binding is shown in FIG. That is why.

[0059] "Specific binding" or "specifically binds" to a particular antigen or epitope By "specific" is meant binding that is measurably different from non-specific interactions.

[0062] II. Overview Bispecific antibodies that co-engage CD3 and tumor antigen targets allow T cells to target tumor cells. These antibodies are designed and used to attack and redirect the CD3 and tumor antigen monovalently associated with CD3. While approaches targeting these drugs have shown considerable promise, common side effects of such treatments remain. Use of steroids often leads to toxic cytokine release syndrome and associated cytokine The anti-CD3 binding domain of the bispecific antibody associates with all T cells. From these cells, a highly cytokine-producing CD4 T cell subset is recruited. 4 T cell subsets whose recruitment and expansion potentially result in immunosuppression and long-term tumor suppression. These include regulatory T cells, which may have a negative effect on immune regulation. Without the c domain, it exhibits an extremely short serum half-life in patients.
[0063] While CD3 targeting has shown considerable promise, there are many limitations to such treatments. Common side effects often result in toxic cytokine release syndrome and associated symptoms. The anti-CD3 binding domain of the bispecific antibody associates with all T cells. This results in the recruitment of highly cytokine-producing CD4 T cell subsets. Furthermore, the CD4 T cell subset, whose recruitment and proliferation potentially leads to immunosuppression, These include regulatory T cells, which may have a negative impact on tumor suppression. One such method may reduce the number of CD4 T cells present in the blood and possibly reduce CD4 T cell activation. The method relies on reducing the affinity of the anti-CD3 domain for CD3.
[0064] Thus, in some embodiments, the present invention provides a "potent" or "high affinity" antibody to CD3. A "compatible" binder (e.g., a heavy and a light variable domain (optionally including a charged linker as needed), and CD3 8. Therefore, the present invention provides anti-CD3 antibodies that are "lighter" or "lower affinity" binders for CD3. Further embodiments provide an antibody construct comprising a CD38 antigen-binding domain. Anti-CD3 antigen-binding domains with intermediate or "moderate" affinity for CD3 The antibody constructs are provided, each comprising a domain. Binding affinity is determined using a Biacore assay. Generally measured.
[0065] The "high, medium, and low" anti-CD3 sequences of the present invention can be used in a variety of heterodimerization formats. It should be understood that the heterodimer "bottom" is also possible in most of the disclosures herein. While the "ball opener" format is used, these variable heavy and variable light arrangements, as well as sc Fv sequences (and Fab sequences containing these variable heavy and variable light sequences) can be expressed in other formats, For example, the one shown in Figure 2 of International Publication No. WO 2014 / 145806 (the The drawings, formats and descriptions used in this specification are expressly incorporated herein by reference. It is possible.
[0066] Thus, the present invention provides heterodimeric antibodies that bind to two different antigens, e.g. For example, antibodies can bind to two different target antigens, commonly target tumor antigens (TTAs), as described below. These heterodimeric antibodies are "bispecific" in that they bind to their target antigens. Monovalent (e.g., a single antigen-binding domain is present, such as a variable heavy and variable light domain pair) bivalent (there are two antigen-binding domains that bind to each antigen independently) The heterodimeric antibodies of the present invention may bind to either the heterodimeric or heterodimeric antibody as also outlined below. Conjugated with a "pI mutant" that allows simple purification of heterodimers from homodimers. "Skewing" heterodimer formation over homodimers as thoroughly outlined by The heterodimers of the present invention are based on the use of different monomers with "skew" amino acid substitutions. In the case of bispecific antibodies, the present invention generally involves the use of a method for producing heterodimeric proteins. of a modified or mutant Fc domain capable of self-assembly within the producing cell. Depending on the use and the methods for making and purifying such heterodimeric proteins, There are.
[0067] III. Antibodies The present invention utilizes two different antigens, e.g., CD3 and a target tumor antigen, e.g., CD19, Bispecific antibodies that bind to CD20, CD38, and CD123 and are generally therapeutic antibodies As discussed below, the term "antibody" is used generically. Antibodies that find use in the present invention include conventional antibodies, as well as the antibody derivatives described herein, It may take several forms as described herein, including fragments and mimetics.
[0068] The structural unit of a conventional antibody typically comprises a tetramer. Each tetramer typically comprises two pairs of identical Each pair consists of a single polypeptide chain, with one "light" chain (typically about 25 kDa) a single "heavy" chain (typically having a molecular weight of about 50-70 kDa) Human light chains are classified into κ light chains and λ light chains. The present invention is not limited to However, it has several subclasses, including IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. The IgG class is 356 (D or E) and 358 (L or It is noted that the present invention has different allotypes with polymorphisms in the nucleotide sequences (M). The sequence uses the 356D / 358M allotype, but other allotypes are included herein. That is, any sequence containing an IgG1 Fc domain included herein may be Instead of the 6D / 358M allotype, one can have 356E / 358L.
[0069] In addition, many of the sequences herein have at least one amino acid at position 220 replaced with a serine. It has two cysteines, which generally are " scFv monomer” side, but it is “Fab monomer” to reduce disulfide formation. These exchanged cysteines can be on the cysteine-containing side or both. (C220S) or both are specifically included within the sequences herein.
[0070] Therefore, "isotype" as used herein refers to the structure of their constant regions. Any of the subclasses of immunoglobulins defined by their biological and antigenic characteristics It means that the therapeutic antibody may also be a hybrid of isotypes and / or subclasses. It should be understood that the present invention may include, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2009 / 016 As shown in US Pat. No. 3,699 (incorporated by reference), the present invention provides an IgG1 / G This involves altering the pI of the two hybrids.
[0071] The amino-terminal portion of each chain is commonly referred to in the art and herein as an "Fv domain." The Fv region is composed of approximately 100 to 110 amino acids, which are primarily involved in antigen recognition. The variable region contains a variable region of 1 or more amino acids that form the antigen-binding site. Therefore, three loops are collected in each of the V domains of the heavy and light chains. The CDRs are called sex-determining regions (hereinafter referred to as "CDRs"), where variations in the amino acid sequence occur. The most notable difference is that certain segments of the variable region vary in sequence among antibodies. This refers to the fact that the variability within a variable region is not uniformly distributed. Instead, the V region is composed of a ratio of 15 to 30 amino acids called the framework region (FR). It consists of a series of relatively invariant regions, each of which is 9-15 amino acids long or longer. These are separated by shorter regions of extreme variability called "hypervariable regions."
[0072] Each VH and VL has, from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus, FR1-CDR1-FR2-C The three hypervariable regions ("complementarity determining regions") are arranged in the order DR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. It consists of a nucleotide sequence ("CDR") and four FRs.
[0073] The hypervariable region generally consists of amino acid residues 24 to 34 within the light chain variable region (LCDR1: "L " indicates light chain), 50-56 (LCDR2), and 89-97 (LCDR3) and 31 to 35B in the heavy chain variable region (HCDR1: "H" indicates heavy chain), 50 to 65B ( HCDR2), and amino acid residues 95 to 102 (HCDR3) (Kabat et al.,SEQUENCES OF PROTEINS OF IMMUNOLO GICAL INTEREST,5th Ed.Public Health Serv ice,National Institutes of Health,Bethes da, Md. (1991)), and / or residues forming hypervariable loops (e.g., Residues 26-32 (LCDR1), 50-52 (LCDR2), and 9 in the light chain variable region 1 to 96 (LCDR3), and 26 to 32 (HCDR1), 53 to 55 ( HCDR2), and 96–101 (HCDR3); Chothia and Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917. The CDRs of are described below.
[0074] As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the exact numbering and arrangement of the CDRs may vary. However, the numbering system may vary. It will be understood that the present disclosure of a sequence includes the disclosure of the associated CDRs. Thus, the disclosure of each variable heavy region includes a vhCDR (e.g., vhCDR1, vhCD The disclosure of each variable light region is vlCDR (e.g., vlCDR1, vlCDR2, and vlCDR3).
[0075] Throughout this specification, the Kabat numbering system is used to refer to residues within the variable domain (approximately 100, ... When referring to the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region (residues 1-107 of the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region, and residues 1-113 of the heavy chain variable region), The EU numbering system is commonly used for the Fc region (e.g., Kabat et al. al., supra (1991)).
[0076] The present invention provides a number of different sets of CDRs, where a "complete set of CDRs" is , three variable light CDRs and three variable heavy CDRs, e.g., vlCDR1, vlCDR2 , vlCDR3, vhCDR1, vhCDR2 and vhCDR3, which respectively , may be part of a larger variable light chain domain or variable heavy chain domain. As more fully outlined in the specification, the variable heavy and light chain domains are and if a light chain is used (e.g., if a Fab is used), a separate polypeptide The sequences may be present on multiple chains, or in the case of scFv sequences, on a single polypeptide chain.
[0077] CDRs contribute to forming the antigen-binding, or more specifically, epitope-binding, site of an antibody. An "epitope" is a specific region within the variable region of an antibody molecule known as a paratope. An epitope refers to a determinant that interacts with a specific antigen-binding site. A group of molecules that usually have specific structural characteristics as well as specific charge characteristics. An antigen may have more than one epitope.
[0078] An epitope is a molecule that contains amino acid residues that are directly involved in binding (also called the immunodominant component of the epitope). and other amino acid residues not directly involved in binding, e.g., specific antigen-binding peptides. In other words, the amino acid The residues are present within the footprint of a specific antigen-binding peptide.
[0079] Epitopes can be either conformational or linear. Conformational epitopes is formed by spatially juxtaposed amino acids from different segments of the linear polypeptide chain Linear epitopes are formed by adjacent amino acid residues in a polypeptide chain. Conformational or non-conformational epitopes are epitopes that are induced by the presence of denaturing solvents. Below, we distinguish between the two in that the connection with the former is lost, but the connection with the latter is not lost. Good too.
[0080] Epitopes are typically at least three, more commonly, in a unique spatial arrangement. contains at least 5 or 8-10 amino acids. Antibodies that recognize the same epitope , a simple immunoassay that shows the ability of one antibody to block the binding of another antibody to a target antigen (e.g. This can be seen in the "binning" (for example).
[0081] The carboxy-terminal portion of each chain defines a constant region primarily responsible for effector function. Kabat et al. collected a large number of primary sequences of the variable regions of heavy and light chains. Based on the degree of sequence conservation, Kabat et al. classified individual primary sequences into CDR and framework regions. The list was compiled by classifying them into SEQUENCES OF IMMUNOLOGY CAL INTEREST,5th Ed.,NIH publication,No. 91-3242, E.A. Kabat et al. (incorporated by reference in its entirety ) for more information.
[0082] The IgG subclass of immunoglobulins contains several immunoglobulin domains in the heavy chain. As used herein, "immunoglobulin (Ig) domain" refers to a domain that has a distinct tertiary structure. Of interest in the present invention is the constant weight (CH) region of an immunoglobulin. The heavy chain domain includes the ATP domain and the hinge domain. Each G isotype has three CH regions. The domain is: "CH1" is the EU Internet address as described in Kabat "CH2" refers to the number 118-220 in the index. It refers to the 237th to 340th place in the EU index, and "CH3" is listed in Kabat. The EU Index, as set forth herein and as described below, refers to a ranking of 341-447. As discussed below, the pI variants may be located in one of the CH and hinge regions. There can be more than one.
[0083] The sequences presented herein are from the CH1 region, i.e., starting at position 118, and are It should be noted that the variable region is not included except for the first address of SEQ ID NO:2. Although the amino acid is represented as position "1" in the sequence listing, it is located at 118 in the CH1 region according to the EU numbering. Corresponds to rank.
[0084] Another type of Ig domain in the heavy chain is the hinge region. "Hinge region" or "antibody hinge region" or "immunoglobulin hinge region" refers to a region of an antibody A flexible polypeptide comprising amino acids between the first and second constant domains of Structurally, the CH1 domain of IgG ends at EU position 220, and The CH2 domain starts at residue EU position 237. Therefore, in the case of IgG, the antibody The range includes positions 221 (D221 of IgG1) to 236 (G236 of IgG1). As defined herein, numbering is based on the EU index as described in Kabat In some embodiments, for example, in the context of an Fc region, a lower hinge is included. The "lower hinge" generally refers to position 226 or 230. As shown, pI variants can also be made in the hinge region.
[0085] The light chain generally comprises a variable light chain domain (which includes the light chain CDRs and which, together with the variable heavy chain domain, The Fv region is formed by a constant light chain region (often called CL or Cκ). Contains two domains.
[0086] Another region that is subject to further substitutions, as outlined below, is the Fc region.
[0087] Thus, the present invention provides different antibody domains. As is known in the art, the heterodimeric antibodies of the present invention may contain different domains within the heavy and light chains. These domains include, but are not limited to: However, the Fc domain, CH1 domain, CH2 domain, CH3 domain, hinge domain, heavy constant domain (CH1-hinge-Fc domain or CH1-hinge-CH2-C H3), a variable heavy domain, a variable light domain, a light constant domain, a FAb domain, and Contains an scFv domain.
[0088] Thus, an "Fc domain" refers to a -CH2-CH3 domain, optionally a hinge domain, In embodiments herein, when an scFv is attached to an Fc domain, In this case, it is the C-terminus of the scFv construct that is attached to the hinge of the Fc domain, e.g., It is generally attached to the sequence EPKS, which is the beginning of the hinge. It comprises a human nucleotide sequence and a constant domain, which comprises CH1-optionally CH2-CH3. The light chain contains a variable light domain and a light constant domain. , variable heavy chain, scFv linker, and variable light chain domains. In most constructs and sequences, the C-terminus of the variable light chain is connected to the N-terminus of the scFv linker. and its C-terminus is attached to the N-terminus of the variable heavy chain (N-vh-linker-vl -C), but it can be switched (N-vl-linker-vh-C).
[0089] Some embodiments of the invention comprise at least one scFv domain, which is naturally occurring. However, the variable heavy chain domains and the variable heavy chain domains are generally linked together by an scFv linker. As shown herein, recombinantly produced There are several suitable scFv linkers that can be used, including conventional peptide bonds.
[0090] The linker peptide is primarily composed of the following amino acid residues: Gly, Ser, Ala, or T. The linker peptide may comprise a linker peptide that connects the two molecules together so that they retain the desired activity. long enough to link in such a way that they assume the correct conformation relative to each other, In one embodiment, the linker should have a length of about 1 to 50 amino acids, preferably In one embodiment, a linker of 1 to 20 amino acids in length is used. In some embodiments, the use of about 5 to about 10 amino acids is recognized. For example, (GS)n, (GSGGS)n, (GGGGS)n, and (GGG S) Glycine-seriate containing n, where n is an integer of at least 1 (and generally 3-4) polymers, glycine-alanine polymers, alanine-serine polymers, and other flexible polymers. Alternatively, flexible linkers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (P EG), polypropylene glycol, polyoxyalkylene, or polyethylene glycol Various non-proteinaceous polymers, including copolymers of polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol, have been shown to It may find use as a linker, i.e., it may find use as a linker.
[0091] Other linker sequences may include any sequence of any length of the CL / CH1 domain. but not all residues in the CL / CH1 domain (e.g., the most The linker is a nucleotide sequence of an immunoglobulin light chain, e.g., Cκ or The linker can be derived from, for example, Cγ1, Cγ2, Cγ3, Cγ4, Cα1, C Derived from immunoglobulin heavy chains of any isotype, including α2, Cδ, Cε, and Cμ The linker sequence may also be used to bind other proteins such as Ig-like proteins (e.g., TCR, FcR, KIR), sequences from hinge regions, and other naturally occurring sequences from other proteins. It may be derived from.
[0092] In some embodiments, the linker may be any two domains (outlined herein together). Any suitable linker is a "domain linker" used to link the While many embodiments may use, for example, (GS), (GSGGS), ( (GGGS)n, and (GGGS)n, where n is an integer of at least 1 (and generally 3 to 4 Each of the two domains has a glycine-serine polymer containing Recombination with sufficient length and flexibility to allow the gene to retain its biological function. Any peptide sequence that allows for attachment may be used. In terms of the linker structure, as outlined below, the charged domain linker is a functional part of the scFv linker. When used in the embodiment, it can be used.
[0093] In some embodiments, the scFv linker is a charged scFv linker, the majority of which is shown in FIG. 33. Thus, the present invention provides a method for determining the pI distribution between the first and second monomers. To facilitate separation, a charged scFv linker is further provided, i.e., either positively or negatively charged. Either (or both in the case of scaffolds using scFvs on different monomers) By incorporating a charged scFv linker, the monomer containing the charged linker can form an Fc domain. It is possible to change the pI without causing further changes in the The linker can be substituted into any scFv with a standard linker. As can be seen, the charged scFv linker can be chosen based on the desired change in pI. For example, as discussed herein, Thus, to generate a triple F-format heterodimeric antibody, each of the desired antigen-binding domains is The initial pI of the Fv region in Also depending on the pI, either a positive or negative linker is selected.
[0094] Similarly, charged domain linkers may also be used to enhance the pI separation of the monomers of the present invention. Therefore, in any embodiment herein where a linker is used, 3 can be used.
[0095] In some embodiments, the antibody is full length. A "full length antibody" herein refers to a heterodimer. specific for the formation of heterodimers or the purification of heterodimers from homodimers. and a variable region in the Fc domain that contains one or more modifications as outlined herein. A full-length antibody refers to the structure that constitutes the natural biological form of an antibody, including the amino acid sequence and constant regions. , generally comprising Fab and Fc domains, and in addition, generally as shown in the figures , scFv, or the like.
[0096] In one embodiment, the polypeptides may be modified to produce heterodimers, such as by modifying the pI. An antibody is an antibody fragment as long as it contains at least one constant domain capable of binding to the antibody. Other antibody fragments that can be used include the CH1, CH2, CH3, and hindpeptides of the present invention that have been modified to have altered pI. For example, Fc fusions include fragments having one or more of the Fc, CL, and CL domains. Fc region (CH2 and CH3, optionally including the hinge region) fused to another protein Many Fc fusions are known in the art, and the heterodimers of the present invention are fusions of This can be improved by adding merization mutants. In the present invention, CH1; CH1, CH2 and and CH3; CH2; CH3; CH2 and CH3; and antibody fusions comprising CH1 and CH3. any or all of which may be prepared using the heterologous vectors described herein. Any combination of dimerization mutants can be used, optionally with a hinge region. This can be done.
[0097] In particular, the format shown in Figure 1 is an antibody commonly referred to as a "heterodimeric antibody," Proteins containing at least two related Fc sequences self-assembled into heterodimeric Fc domains. This means that it has a column.
[0098] Chimeric and Humanized Antibodies In some embodiments, the antibodies are mixtures of antibodies from different species, e.g., chimeric antibodies and / or In general, both "chimeric antibodies" and "humanized antibodies" are defined as antibodies that are It refers to an antibody that combines regions derived from the above species. For example, "chimeric antibodies" have traditionally been It contains variable regions of mouse (or rat, if desired) origin and constant regions of human origin. "Humanized antibodies" generally refer to antibodies in which the variable domain framework regions have been modified to conform to sequences found in human antibodies. Generally, in a humanized antibody, the entire antibody except for the CDRs is replaced with human or encoded by a polynucleotide derived from a human or human genome, except within its CDRs. are identical to antibodies encoded in part or in whole by nucleic acid derived from a non-human organism. The CDRs are grafted into the beta-sheet framework of a human antibody variable region to generate an antibody; The specificity of the antibody is determined by the grafted CDR.

[0101] IV. Heterodimeric Antibodies Thus, in some embodiments, the present invention provides a heterodimeric Fc domain and a heterodimeric Fc domain. Fc of two different heavy chain variants that will self-assemble to form a dimeric antibody The heterodimeric antibodies provided depend on the use of the sequences.
[0102] The present invention provides antibodies capable of binding to more than one antigen or ligand, e.g., bispecific antibodies. The present invention is directed to novel constructs for providing heterodimeric antibodies that allow for the synthesis of heterodimeric antibodies. A dimeric antibody construct is one in which two Fc domains of the heavy chains of an antibody, e.g., assemble to form a "dimer." As will be discussed more fully below, Dimeric antibodies are created by modifying the amino acid sequence of each monomer. Thus, the present invention generally provides methods for promoting heterodimer formation and / or inhibiting homodimer formation. To allow for easier purification of the heterodimer, different constant region sequences for each chain were used. We aimed to generate heterodimeric antibodies that can co-associate with antigens in several ways depending on amino acid mutations. Let's call it an elephant.
[0103] Thus, the present invention provides bispecific antibodies. The problem is generally that a molecule binds to two different antigens simultaneously, bringing the different antigens into close proximity and creating a new function. There is a demand for "bispecific" antibodies that offer novel therapeutic potential. Antibodies are produced by including genes for each heavy and light chain in a host cell. This generally results in the production of the desired heterodimer (AB) as well as two homodimers (A -A and BB (which do not involve the issue of light chain heterodimerization) are formed. However, a major obstacle in the formation of bispecific antibodies is the conversion of homodimeric antibodies to heterodimeric antibodies. Purify and / or bias heterodimer formation against homodimer formation The difficulty is in doing so.
[0104] There are several mechanisms available for generating the heterodimers of the present invention. As understood by practitioners, the combination of these mechanisms results in a high degree of heterodimerization. Therefore, the amino acid mutations that result in the production of heterodimers are As discussed below, heterodimerization mutants is a steric variant (e.g., "knobs and holes" below). or "skew" mutants and "charge pair" mutants described below) and homodimers from heterodimers. It may contain "pI variants" that allow for purification of dimers. WO 2014 / 14580 6 pamphlet (see the entire pamphlet and the discussion of "heterodimerization mutants" at Specifically, the following (which is incorporated herein by reference) describes heterodimerization: A useful mechanism is the "knob and hole" ("KIH"; sometimes referred to herein as the "skewed" variant). (See discussion in WO 2014 / 145806), WO 20 "Electrostatic steering" or "charge pairs" as described in the pamphlet of International Publication No. 14 / 145806 pI variants described in WO 2014 / 145806 and WO 201 Further common Fc variants as outlined in the brochure No. 4 / 145806 and below. Includes variants.
[0105] In the present invention, there are several basic mechanisms that can facilitate the purification of heterodimeric antibodies. On the other hand, since each monomer has a different pI, depending on the use of pI mutants, A- This allows for isoelectric purification of A, AB, and BB dimeric proteins. Scaffold formats, such as the "triple F" format, also allow for size-based separation. Furthermore, as outlined, it is also possible to "skew" heterodimer formation relative to homodimers. Therefore, the heterodimerization mutants and the pI or charge pair mutants can be combined. Combinations find particular use in the present invention.
[0106] In general, specific application embodiments of the present invention increase the pI difference between the two monomers. Conjugated with a pI mutant, it promotes heterodimerization over homodimerization. , which depends on the set of mutants including distortion mutants.
[0107] In addition, as will be more fully outlined below, depending on the format of the heterodimeric antibody, the pI The variants may be contained within the constant and / or Fc domains of the monomer, or may be included in the charge linker. A linker (either a domain linker or an scFv linker) can be used. That is, scaffolds utilizing scFvs, such as triple F formats, can be further refined for purification purposes. The scFv may contain a charged linker (either positive or negative) that provides a pI boost. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, additional pI adjustments may be made with only charged scFv linkers. Although several triple F forms without the 'F' are useful, the present invention is particularly directed to the use of 'F' in one or both of the monomers. pI variants towards the nucleotide sequence, and / or similarly charged domain linkers are provided. Further amino acid modifications can be made to alter the pI, e.g., Fc , FcRn and KO mutants may also be obtained.
[0108] In the present invention, pI is utilized as a separation mechanism to enable the purification of heterodimeric proteins. The amino acid mutation can be introduced into one or both of the monomeric polypeptides; i.e. The pI of one of the monomers (referred to herein simply as "monomer A") is increased from that of monomer B. or to increase the pI of monomer A and decrease the pI of monomer B. Both monomers A and B can be modified, lowering the Additionally, changes in the pI of either or both monomers can be achieved by removing or adding charged residues. by (e.g., neutral amino acids are converted to positively or negatively charged amino acid residues, e.g., glycine (replacement of glutamic acid from guanine) and changing charged residues from positive or negative to opposite charge. By changing the charge (aspartic acid to lysine) or by changing a charged residue to a neutral residue This can be achieved by changing the lysine to a serine (e.g., loss of charge). Some of these variants are shown in the figures.
[0109] Thus, this embodiment of the invention is capable of separating heterodimers from homodimers. providing sufficient pI change in at least one of the monomers to allow As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, and as will be further discussed below, this is a "wild The heavy chain constant region is a "type" heavy chain constant region and a variant region (w) that has been modified to increase or decrease the pI. By using both tA-+B or wtA--B, or by increasing one region, This can be done by increasing the area and decreasing the other area (A+-B- or A-B+). .
[0110] Thus, in general, components of some embodiments of the present invention may contain amino acid substitutions ("pI variants"). The dimeric protein can be formed by incorporating a nucleotide sequence (or "pI substitution") into one or both monomers. By changing the isoelectric point (pI) of at least one (if not both) monomer of the protein, These are amino acid mutations within the antibody constant region that are intended to form "pI antibodies." As shown herein, the separation of the heterodimer from the two homodimers is achieved by separating the two monomers. This can be achieved when the pI of the body differs by at least 0.1 pH units, and is 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 or greater all find use in the present invention.
[0111] As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, to obtain good separation, it is desirable to have each or both monomers The number of pI variants included will depend in part on the starting pI of the components, e.g., in a triple F format, the desired The starting pI of the scFv and Fab will depend on the starting pI of either monomer. To modify or determine the "direction" (e.g., more positive or negative), two indicators The Fv sequence of the target antigen is calculated and the determination is made therefrom. Accordingly, different Fvs will have different starting pIs for use in the present invention. As outlined herein, the pI is determined such that the total pI difference for each monomer is at least about 0.1 l. og (preferably 0.2-0.5 as outlined herein) .
[0112] Furthermore, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art and as outlined herein, some embodiments In this case, heterodimers can be separated from homodimers based on size. For example, as shown in FIG. Some formats allow for the separation of heterodimers and homodimers based on size, as shown in Make it possible.
[0113] To achieve heterodimerization, pI variants are used by using the constant region of the heavy chain. If this is the case, more modular approaches for designing and purifying bispecific proteins, including antibodies, are possible. Thus, in some embodiments, heterodimerization mutants (skewed and purified heterodimerization mutants) are not contained within the variable region, so individual antibodies Furthermore, in some embodiments, immunity due to pI variants may be increased. The potential for immunogenicity is due to the pI being varied so that the pI is altered without introducing significant immunogenicity. The effect of importing I variants from different IgG isotypes was significantly reduced. Therefore, a further problem to be solved is to obtain a high human sequence content, e.g., a non-human sequence at any particular position. The goal is to elucidate low pI constant domains with minimization or avoidance of amino acid residues.
[0114] Potential side effects of modifying this pI include prolonging serum half-life and improving FcRn binding. There are also enhancements for cases such as those described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 194,904 (the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference). (as found in fusions of antibodies and Fc), as described in Prolonged serum retention in vivo by lowering the pI of antibody constant domains (including These pI variants for extending serum half-life may also result in increased cleavage time for purification. This promotes a change in the pI of the
[0115] Additionally, the ability to either eliminate, minimize, or distinguish between homodimers when they exist. Since the pI of heterodimerization mutants is important, the pI of heterodimerization mutants is important for the analysis and characterization of bispecific antibodies. It should be noted that this provides additional benefits in the quality control process. Similarly, the ability to reliably test the reproducibility of heterodimeric antibody production is important.
[0116] Heterodimerization mutants The present invention provides heterodimers that allow for the formation and / or purification of heterodimers from homodimers. Heterodimeric proteins, including heterodimeric antibodies, in various formats utilizing dimeric variants. Provide quality.
[0117] There are several sets of suitable pairwise heterodimerization-skewed mutants. These mutants are The nucleotides are present in "sets" of "pairs." That is, one set of the pair is incorporated into the first monomer. The other set of the pair is incorporated into a second monomer. without behaving as a "knobs-in-holes" mutant. There is a one-to-one correspondence between residues on one monomer and residues on the other monomer, i.e., These pairs of pairs promote heterodimer formation and prevent homodimer formation. By forming an interface between the monomers, one hundred heterodimers can form spontaneously under biological conditions. The fraction was 50% of the expected (25% homodimer A / A: 50% heterodimer A / B: It is noteworthy that the homodimer B / B ratio is greater than 90% rather than 25%. It should be.
[0118] Stereovariants In some embodiments, heterodimer formation can be promoted by the addition of a steric variant. That is, by modifying the amino acids within each heavy chain, different heavy chains can be associated to produce the same Fc antigen. It is more likely to form heterodimer structures than homodimers with the amino acid sequence. Suitable stereovariants are included in Figure 29.
[0119] One mechanism generally favors heterodimer formation and opposes homodimer formation. The term "knob and hole" is used in the art to refer to amino acid modifications that create steric effects such as While this is sometimes referred to as "the 'rule'" and can be used optionally, it is sometimes referred to as "the 'rule'" in U.S. Patent Application No. No. 61 / 596,846, Ridgway et al., Protein En engineering 9(7):617(1996);Atwell et al.,J Mol. Biol. 1997 270:26; U.S. Pat. No. 8,216,805 (all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties) In the figure, several "monomer A- A pair of monomers, B and B, has been identified. As described in Biotech. 16:677 (1998), these "knob and hose" The "al" mutation distorts the formation of heterodimers, thus combining with disulfide bonds. It can be combined.
[0120] A further mechanism that finds use in generating heterodimers is described by Gunasekara et al. n et al., J. Biol. Chem. 285(25):19637(2010) (which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) This may be referred to herein as a "charge pair." In this embodiment, Electrostatics are used to distort the formation of heterodimers. As such, these may also have an effect on pI and therefore purification. Therefore, they can sometimes be considered pI variants. They were engineered to promote merization and were not used as purification tools. are classified as "stereovariants." These include, but are not limited to, D221R / P228R / K409R (e.g., these are the "monomer matched set") and the pair D221E / P22 C22 paired with 8E / L368E and C220R / E224R / P228R / K409R Includes 0E / P228E / 368E.
[0121] The additional monomer A variant and the monomer B variant may optionally and independently be present in any amount. , other variants, such as the pI variants outlined herein or U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 201 Other stereovariants shown in Figure 37 of JP 2002 / 0149876 (the drawings and legends thereof) and SEQ ID NOs. are expressly incorporated herein by reference). Cut.
[0122] In some embodiments, the stereovariants outlined herein are optionally and independently: With any pI variant (or other variants, e.g., Fc variants, FcRn variants, etc.) can be incorporated into one or both monomers and can be independently optionally included or can be excluded from the proteins of the present invention.
[0123] A list of suitable distortion variants can be found in Figure 29, and Figure 34 shows some particularly useful pairs in many embodiments, including, but not limited to, S364K / E357Q:L368D / K370S;L368D / K370S:S364K;L368E / K370S:S364K;T411 E / K The set of pairs comprising 360E / Q362E:D401K;L368D / K370S:S364K / E357L and K370S:S364K / E357Q is particularly used. In terms of nomenclature, the pair "S364K / E357Q:L368D / K370S" means that one of the monomers has the double mutant set S364K / E357Q and the other has the double mutant set L368D / K370S.
[0124] pI (isoelectric point) variants in heterodimers Generally, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, there are two general categories of pI variants: i.e., those that increase the pI of a protein (basic changes) and those that decrease the pI of a protein As described herein, all of these variants One monomer may be wild-type or significantly different from the wild-type. The variant may not exhibit the same pI, while the other may be either more basic or more acidic. Alternatively, each monomer may undergo a change, becoming either more basic or more acidic. There are some that become like this.
[0125] Preferred combinations of pI variants are shown in Figure 30. As shown, these changes are shown for IgG1, but are not limited to all isotypes, including In addition, isotype hybrids can be modified in this manner. When the ratio is 2 to 4, R133E and R133Q can also be used.
[0126] In one embodiment, for example, in a bottle opener format, a preferred combination of pI variants is The combination contains one monomer containing the 208D / 295E / 384D / 418E / 421D variants. Negative Fab side (N208D / Q295E / N384 compared to human IgG1) D / Q418E / N421D) and a positively charged scFv linker containing (GKPGS) However, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, As shown, the first monomer contains a CH1 domain including position 208. In constructs that do not contain one domain (e.g., in a double scFv format, for example), Heterodimeric Fc fusion proteins that do not utilize a CH1 domain in one of the main domains A preferred negative pI mutant Fc set is the 295E / 384D / 418E / 421D mutant (Q295E / N384D / Q418E / N421D compared to human IgG1) include.
[0127] Light chain variants of antibody heterodimers In the case of antibody-based heterodimers, for example, at least one monomer is attached to a heavy chain domain. In the case of a light chain in addition to the ribonucleotides, pI variants can also be made within the light chain. Amino acid substitutions for this purpose include, but are not limited to, K126E, K126Q, and K145E. , K145Q, N152D, S156E, K169E, S202E, K207E and light This category is based on the constant lambda light chain. The changes in the α-amino acid sequence are R108Q, Q124E, K126Q, N138D, K145T and and Q199E. In addition, the pI of the light chain can be increased. .
[0128] Isotype variants Additionally, many embodiments of the present invention provide for the detection of IgG from one IgG isotype to another. It relies on the "incorporation" of pI amino acids at specific positions into the This reduces or eliminates the possibility of introducing unwanted immunogenicity into the variants. Some are described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014 / 0370013, incorporated herein by reference. 21 of the patent application (incorporated herein). That is, for various reasons, including high effector function, Therefore, IgG1 is a common isotype for therapeutic antibodies. The heavy constant region of IgG1 has a higher pI than the heavy constant region of IgG2 (8.10 vs. 7.31) By introducing IgG2 residues into specific positions of the IgG1 backbone, the resulting The pI of the monomer is decreased (or increased) and in addition exhibits an increased serum half-life. IgG1 has glycine at position 137 (pI 5.97), while IgG2 has glutamic acid (pI 3 22). The incorporation of glutamic acid increases the p As discussed below, several amino acid substitutions generally affect the This is required to significantly affect the pI of the antibody. It is noteworthy that even changes in the IgG2 molecule can extend the serum half-life. should be.
[0129] In other embodiments, to reduce the overall charge state of the resulting protein, (e.g., by changing a higher pI amino acid to a lower pI amino acid) ), or to accommodate structures for stability etc., as will be explained further below. Non-isotypic amino acid changes are made.
[0130] In addition, by modifying the pI of both the heavy and light constant domains, Significant changes can be seen in each monomer of the heterodimer. As discussed herein, By making the pI of the two monomers differ by at least 0.5, ion exchange chromatography can be performed. Separation by electrophoresis or isoelectric focusing, or other methods sensitive to the isoelectric point, is It may be possible.
[0131] pI calculation The pI of each monomer is calculated by multiplying the pI of the variant heavy chain constant domain by the pI of the variant heavy chain constant domain and .... The pI of the fusion partner and the total monomer content may depend on the pI of the fusion partner. The change in pI is shown in Figure 19 of US Patent Application Publication No. 2014 / 0370013. The calculated values are based on the variant heavy chain constant domains using the chart provided in the present specification. As shown in Fig. 1, which monomers are modified generally depends on the Fv and scaffold regions. Alternatively, the pI of each monomer can be compared.
[0132] pI variants that also result in better FcRn in vivo binding If pI mutants lower the pI of the monomer, they may improve serum retention in vivo. This may have the additional benefit of
[0133] Although still under investigation, it is thought that FcRn binds to FcRn at pH 6 in endosomes, resulting in FcRn-mediated endosomal transport. The Fc region is thought to have a longer half-life in vivo due to the sequestering of hetie and Ward,1997 Immunol Today.18(12) :592-598, incorporated by reference in its entirety). The endosomal compartment then When the compartment is opened to the extracellular space, a higher p of approximately 7.4 is released. H induces reverse release of Fc into the blood. In mice, Dall' Acqua et al. However, Fc mutants with enhanced binding to FcRn at pH 6 and pH 7.4 were detected at serum concentrations and showed that it actually reduced the half-life to the same level as wild-type Fc (Dall'Acq ua et al.2002, J.Immunol.169:5171-5180, entire The increase in affinity of Fc for FcRn at pH 7.4 is This is thought to inhibit the release of Fc back into the blood. Fc mutations that extend the FcRn binding time would ideally increase binding to FcRn at lower pH. The amino acid histidine enhances the binding of Fc to the ATP-binding domain while also allowing the release of Fc at higher pH. It changes its charge state within the pH range of 0.0 to 7.4. It is not surprising to find His residues at key positions in the complex.
[0134] Recently, antibodies with variable regions with lower isoelectric points have also been shown to have longer serum half-lives. It has been suggested that this may be possible (Igawa et al., 2010 PEDS.23( 5):385-392, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. It remains poorly understood. Furthermore, the variable regions differ between antibodies. and constant region variants with extended half-life, as described herein, of antibodies. This will provide a more modular approach to improving pharmacokinetic properties.
[0135] Additional Fc variants for added functionality In addition to pI amino acid variants, other amino acid variants include, but are not limited to, binding to one or more FcγR receptors. Active molecules can be engineered for a variety of reasons, including altering the affinity of the molecule, altering the binding to the FcRn receptor, etc. There are several Fc amino acid modifications that can be used.
[0136] Thus, the proteins of the present invention are referred to herein as nucleotides, including pI variants and conformational variants. Each set of variants may contain amino acid modifications, including dimerization variants as outlined. and may optionally be included or excluded from any particular heterodimeric protein. It is possible.
[0137] FcγR mutants Thus, useful antibodies that can be engineered to modify binding to one or more FcγR receptors are There are several Fc substitutions. Substitutions that result in enhanced binding and those that result in decreased binding may be useful. For example, enhanced binding to Fc RIIIa is generally associated with ADCC (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity). Nonspecific cytotoxic cells expressing FcγR recognize bound antibodies on target cells and subsequently It is known that the activation of ATP leads to an increase in the cell-mediated response (cell-mediated response) that causes lysis of the target cells. Similarly, reduced binding to FcγRIIb (an inhibitory receptor) may be advantageous in some circumstances as well. The amino acid substitutions that find use in the present invention can be No. 24,620 (particularly FIG. 41), U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 174,287, U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 396,495, U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 538,406 The specification, all of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and in particular with respect to the variants disclosed therein.

[0139] truncation mutants Similarly, another category of functional mutants is the "FcγR truncation mutants" or "Fc knot mutants." In these embodiments, some therapeutic In order to avoid additional mechanisms of action in the process, one or more or all of the Fcγ receptors (e.g., FcγR1, FcγRIIa, FcγRIIb, FcγRIIIa, etc.) It is desirable to reduce or eliminate the normal binding of the Fc domain. For example, in many embodiments, in particular in the use of bispecific antibodies that bind monovalently to CD3. In order to eliminate or significantly reduce ADCC activity, FcγRIIIa binding is disrupted. It is generally desirable to cleave the Fc domains, where one of the Fc domains is cleaved by one or more Fcγ receptors. These truncation mutants are shown in Figure 31, each of which is independent and optionally included. In a preferred embodiment, G236R / L328R, E233 P / L234V / L235A / G236del / S239K, E233P / L234V / L235A / G236del / S267K, E233P / L234V / L235A / G2 36del / S239K / A327G, E233P / L234V / L235A / G236 del / S267K / A327G and E233P / L234V / L235A / G236 del. The truncation mutants referred to herein are selected from the group consisting of It is noteworthy that the variants disrupt FcγR binding but generally do not disrupt FcRn binding. It is.
[0140] Heterodimer and Fc variant combinations As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the listed (including distortions and / or pI variants) ) All of the heterodimerization mutants retain their "chain state" or "monomer compartment." They can be optionally and independently combined in any manner as long as they are compatible with the intended purpose. All of these variants can be combined into any of the heterodimerization formats .
[0141] In the case of pI variants, embodiments that find particular use are shown in the figures, while others facilitate purification. Therefore, other combinations can be made following the basic rule of modifying the pI difference between the two monomers. It can be manufactured.

[0143] Useful forms of the invention As will be understood by those skilled in the art and discussed more fully below, the heterodimeric fusion proteins of the present invention Synthetic proteins can adopt a wide variety of conformations, as generally shown in Figure 1. The drawing represents a "single-end" configuration, where one "arm" of the molecule There is one specificity and a different specificity for the other "arm." represents a "dual-end" configuration, where there is at least one specific There is a specificity and one or more different specificities at the "bottom" of the molecule. The present invention relates to novel immunoglobulin compositions that co-associate with different first and second antigens. Let's say.

The binding domain reduces potential side effects as outlined herein. Therefore, when CD3 is one of the target antigens, CD3 is bound exclusively monovalently. is preferred.

In this embodiment, one heavy chain of the antibody is a single-chain Fv ("scFv" as defined below). Fv"), and the other heavy chain is in the "standard" FAb format containing a variable heavy chain and a light chain.

The two chains may be heterodimerized, as explained more fully below (see Figure 1). Constant regions (e.g., Fc domain, CH1 domain and / or The binding is achieved by the use of amino acid variants in the amino acid sequence (or hinge region).
[0147] The "Triple F" format of the present invention has several distinct advantages. Furthermore, antibody analogs that rely on two scFv constructs have been shown to have stability and aggregation problems. These are often mitigated by the addition of "standard" heavy and light chain pairings in the present invention. Furthermore, for formats that rely on two heavy chains and two light chains, In the case of incorrect pairing of chains (eg, heavy chain 1 paired with light chain 2), no problem exists.

[0210] target antigen The bispecific antibodies of the present invention have two different antigen-binding domains, i.e., a CD3-binding domain and a CD4-binding domain. those that bind to target tumor antigens (generally monovalent), and those that bind to target tumor antigens (referred to herein as "TTAs"). Suitable target tumor antigens include, but are not limited to, CD 20, CD38, CD123; ROR1, ROR2, BCMA; PSMA; SSTR2; SSTR5, CD19, FLT3, CD33, PSCA, ADAM17, CEA, Her 2, EGFR, EGFR-vIII, CD30, FOLR1, GD-2, CA-IX, T rop-2, CD70, CD38, mesothelin, EphA2, CD22, CD79b, G PNMB, CD56, CD138, CD52, CD74, CD30, CD123, RON , ERBB2, and EGFR.
[0211] The "Triple F" format is particularly useful when targeting two (or more) different antigens. (As outlined herein, this targeting can be monovalent and bivalent, depending on the format. (It may be any combination of bonds). Thus, the immunoglobulins herein are preferably Preferably, the specificity of each monomer is selected from the list herein and co-associates with two target antigens. Further useful bispecific formats for use with anti-CD3 binding domains may be selected. Shown in Figure 1.
[0212] A particularly preferred application of the heterodimeric antibodies herein is that they bind monovalently to each target antigen. Such antigens are co-targeting pairs where the antigens are advantageous or important. The cellular activation of many immune receptors may simply be Typically by cross-linking obtained by antibody / antigen immune complexes or by target cell association Some immune receptors, such as the CD3 receptor on T cells, mediate the activation of effector cells. For signaling receptors, activation only upon engagement with co-associated targets is not a clinical scenario. This is important because specific cross-linking can induce cytokine storms and toxicity. Activation can be achieved by using the immunoglobulins herein to bind therapeutically relevant antigens in a monovalent, rather than multivalent, manner. By selectively associating with the primary target antigen, the antigen is generated solely in response to cross-linking and is present only in the microenvironment of the primary target antigen. The ability to target two different antigens with different valencies is a novel and useful feature of the present invention. This is an embodiment of the present invention. Targets where monovalent co-association may be therapeutically advantageous or necessary Examples of antigens include, but are not limited to, immune activating receptors, such as CD3, FcγR, TL Toll-like receptors (TLRs), such as TLR4 and TLR9, cytokines, chemokines, and serotonin receptors (SCRs). In many embodiments, antigen binding proteins include cytokine receptors, and chemokine receptors. One of the binding sites binds to CD3, and in some embodiments, it is an scFv-containing monomer. be.

[0215] A particularly preferred combination in a bispecific antibody is an antigen-binding domain for CD3 , as well as domains that bind to CD19, CD20, CD38, and CD123. The antigen-binding domains are shown in the figures.
[0216] Nucleic acids of the present invention The present invention further provides nucleic acid compositions encoding the bispecific antibodies of the present invention. As understood by the present invention, the nucleic acid composition is useful for the formation and scanning of heterodimeric proteins. So, for example, if the form is a triple F-form (e.g. For example, a first amino acid monomer containing an Fc domain and an scFv, a second amino acid monomer containing a heavy chain and a light chain, If three amino acid sequences are required as the two amino acid monomers, three The nucleic acid sequence may be incorporated into one or more expression vectors. In the dual scFv format as disclosed in , only two nucleic acids are required, and They can be inserted into one or two expression vectors.
[0217] As is known in the art, nucleic acids encoding the components of the present invention can be prepared by methods known in the art. The expression vectors used in the production of the heterodimeric antibodies of the present invention are known. Generally, the nucleic acid contains a number of regulatory elements (promoter, operably linked to a target gene (e.g., a nucleic acid sequence ... Expression vectors can be extrachromosomal or integrating vectors.
[0218] The nucleic acids and / or expression vectors of the invention, in turn, find use in a number of embodiments. mammalian, bacterial, yeast, insect and / or A number of different types of host cells, including bacterial or fungal cells, are well known in the art. is transformed into
[0219] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encoding each monomer and the optional nucleic acid encoding the light chain are The acids are generally under the control of different or the same promoters, if applicable, depending on the format. In an embodiment of the present invention, the Each of these two or three nucleic acids is contained on a different expression vector. and U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 025,931, which are incorporated herein by reference. As shown, different vector ratios can be used to drive heterodimer formation. That is, surprisingly, the protein can be made up of a first monomer: a second monomer: a light chain (heterodimer). In the case of many embodiments herein having three polypeptides comprising a monomeric antibody, While included in a 1:2 ratio, these are not the ratios that produce the best results. See Not issued.
[0220] The heterodimeric antibodies of the present invention can be expressed in host cells containing expression vectors, as is well known in the art. It is produced by culturing cells. Once produced, it is purified by ion exchange chromatography. Conventional antibody purification steps are performed, including at least the steps discussed herein. The pI of the two monomers differs by at least 0.5, allowing for the separation of the two monomers by ion exchange chromatography or may be capable of separation by isoelectric focusing or other methods that are sensitive to the isoelectric point. That is, the isoelectric point (pI) of each monomer is calculated based on the pI of each monomer. By including pI substitutions that alter the nucleotide sequence to have a different pI, a "triple F" heterodimer can be obtained. Isoelectric purification of dimers becomes easy (e.g., anion exchange column, cation exchange column) These substitutions also prevent any contaminating dual scFv-Fc and mAb homodimers after purification. Aids in measuring and monitoring cleavage (e.g., IEF gels, cIEF, and analytical IEX) column).

The compounds may contain complementary activities, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other. For example, it may be desirable to provide antibodies with other specificities. Alternatively or additionally, the composition may comprise a cytotoxic agent, a cytokine, a growth inhibitory agent and / or a small molecule. Such molecules are preferably present together in amounts effective for the intended purpose. do.
[0225] The active ingredient may also be administered in a colloidal drug delivery system (e.g., liposomes, albumin microspheres, etc.). emulsions, microemulsions, nanoparticles and nanocapsules) or macroemulsions microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or interfacial polymerization hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules and polycapsules, respectively. The compound may be encapsulated in tri-(methyl methacrylate) microcapsules. Such a technique is described in Rem ington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th ed. ition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980).
[0226] Formulations to be used for in vivo administration should be sterile or nearly sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes.
[0227] Sustained release formulations may also be prepared. Suitable sustained release formulations include solid hydrophobic polymers containing the antibody. The matrix may be in the form of a shaped article, e.g., a film, or a semipermeable matrix of a polymer.

Ethylene vinyl acetate and milk While polymers such as glycolic acid allow for release of molecules for over 100 days, Certain hydrogels release proteins for shorter periods of time.
[0228] Encapsulated antibodies undergo changes as a result of exposure to moisture at 37°C when they remain in the body for extended periods. may undergo degradation or aggregation, resulting in a loss of biological activity and possible changes in immunogenicity. Rational strategies for stabilization can be devised depending on the mechanism involved. For example, aggregation mechanisms It was discovered that the formation of an intermolecular S--S bond was due to thio-disulfide exchange. In this case, stabilization is achieved by modifying sulfhydryl residues, lyophilizing from an acidic solution, and controlling the water content. By controlling the polymer matrix, using appropriate additives, and developing specific polymer matrix compositions, This can be achieved.
[0229] Mode of administration The antibodies and chemotherapeutic agents of the present invention can be administered by known methods, for example, by intravenous administration as a bolus. By continuous infusion over a long period of time, it can be administered intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, intracerebrospinally, subcutaneously, or intraarticularly. Administered to subjects by intravenous, intrasynovial, intrathecal, oral, topical, or inhalation routes Intravenous or subcutaneous administration of the antibody is preferred.
[0230] Treatment modality The methods of the present invention provide a method of treatment that provides a positive therapeutic response to a disease or condition. A "positive therapeutic response" is defined as an improvement in a disease or condition and / or a reduction in the severity of the disease or condition. or an improvement in symptoms associated with the condition. For example, a positive treatment response , the following improvements in disease: (1) reduction in the number of neoplastic cells; (2) neoplastic cell death. (3) inhibition of neoplastic cell survival; (5) inhibition of tumor growth (i.e., some degree of slowing) (6) increasing patient survival; and (7) reducing or eliminating the risk of developing a disease or condition. This refers to one or more of the following: partial relief from one or more related symptoms.
[0231] A positive therapeutic response in any given disease or condition is determined by the specificity of that disease or condition. Tumor response can be assessed by standardized response criteria. Radiographic imaging, computed tomography (CT) scans, bone scans Cancer imaging, endoscopy, and tumor biopsy samples, including bone marrow aspirates (BMA) Tumor morphology was assessed using screening techniques such as enumeration of tumor cells and circulating tumor cells. Changes (ie, total tumor burden, tumor size, etc.) can be assessed.
[0232] In addition to these positive treatment responses, treated subjects experienced significant improvements in disease-related symptoms. may experience the beneficial effects of improvements in
[0233] The improvement in disease may be characterized as a complete response. In cases where there are any previous abnormal radiographic tests, bone marrow, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or Normalization of the abnormal monoclonal protein with the absence of clinically detectable disease It is intended that
[0234] Such a response may occur for at least 4 to 8 weeks, or sometimes as long as 4 to 8 weeks, after treatment according to the methods of the present invention. This may last for 6 to 8 weeks. Alternatively, the improvement in disease may be classified as a partial remission. A "partial response" is defined as the absence of new lesions, which may last 4-8 weeks or 6-8 weeks. In the absence of any measurable tumor burden (i.e., the number of malignant cells present in the subject), the number or amount of abnormal monoclonal protein measured A reduction of at least about 50% is contemplated.
[0235] Treatment according to the present invention includes a "therapeutically effective amount" of the agent used. It refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result.
[0236] The therapeutically effective amount depends on factors such as the individual's condition, age, sex, and weight, as well as the individual's ability to tolerate the drug. The therapeutically effective amount may also vary depending on the ability of the antibody or or antibody moiety where any toxic or detrimental effects of the antibody moiety are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. be.
[0237] A "therapeutically effective amount" in tumor therapy is also measured by its ability to stabilize the progression of the disease. The ability of a compound to inhibit cancer may be determined by animal models that are predictive of efficacy in human tumors. It may also be evaluated in a model system.
[0238] Alternatively, this property of the composition inhibits cell growth or induces apoptosis. The potency of the compounds is evaluated by testing them in in vitro assays known to the skilled practitioner. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic compound may reduce tumor size, or alternatively The subject's symptoms may be alleviated. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the subject's size, the severity of the subject's symptoms, and the amount of the drug administered may be varied. Such amounts will be determined based on factors such as severity and the particular composition or route of administration selected. This will allow us to determine the
[0239] Dosage regimens are adjusted to provide the optimum desired response (eg, a therapeutic response). For example, a single bolus may be administered, or several doses may be administered as indicated in the emergency of a therapeutic situation. Divided doses may be administered over time, or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased. Parenteral compositions are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form, as used herein, refers to a dosage unit administered to a subject to be treated. It refers to physically discrete units suited as unit doses, each unit containing the required pharmaceutical carrier. containing a predetermined amount of active compound calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect in relation to do.
[0240] The specifications for the dosage unit forms of the present invention are (a) the inherent properties of the active compound and the desired effect achieved. (b) the specific therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the treatment of a susceptibility in an individual, The limitations inherent in the art of formulating compounds are dictated by and directly affect Depends on.

[0243] A medical practitioner having ordinary skill in the art will be able to determine the effectiveness of the required pharmaceutical composition. Effective amounts can be readily determined and prescribed. For example, a physician or veterinarian may The level of administration of the agent used in the composition required to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. May be started at a lower level and gradually increased until the desired effect is achieved .
[0244] In one embodiment, the bispecific antibody is administered at a concentration of 10-500 mg / kg, for example 200-400 mg / kg.

The dose may be repeated one or more times as needed, for example, after 12 months. The amount of the compound is measured, for example, by collecting a biological sample and targeting the antigen-binding region of the bispecific antibody. The idiotypic characteristics of the serotonin receptor are determined or regulated by measuring the serotonin receptor using an anti-idiotypic antibody that stimulates the serotonin receptor. That's fine.

[0258] Example Example 1: Alternative Formats Bispecific production A schematic diagram of the anti-CD38 x anti-CD3 bispecific antibody is shown in Figure 1. The amino acid sequences of the variant alternatives are listed in Figures 39-43. DNA encoding the three strands required for the Blue Heron gene was synthesized using gene synthesis ( (Biotechnology, Bothell, Wash.) and standard The fragment was subcloned into the expression vector pTT5 using molecular biology techniques. From(QuikChange,Stratagene,Cedar Creek,Tex. ) or additional gene synthesis and subcloning were used to introduce the substitutions. For expression, the DNA was transfected into HEK293E cells, and the resulting protein was then purified using a PCR-based PCR method. Protein A affinity (GE Healthcare) and cation exchange chromatography The yield after Protein A affinity purification is shown in Figure 35. Cation exchange chromatography purification was performed using a wash / equilibration buffer of 50 mM MES (p H6.0) and elution buffer of 50 mM MES (pH 6.0 + 1M NaCl linear gradient The experiment was carried out using a HiTrap SP HP column (GE Healthcare) with (See Figure 36 for chromatogram).
[0259] Redirected T cell cytotoxicity Anti-CD38 × anti-CD3 bispecific antibody was used to detect CD38 + Reinduction of RPMI8266 myeloma cell line The induced T cell cytotoxicity (RTCC) was characterized in vitro. MI8266 cells were incubated with 500k human PBMCs for 24 hours. TCC was measured by LDH fluorescence as indicated (see Figure 37).
[0260] Example 2 Redirected T cell cytotoxicity Anti-CD38 × anti-CD3 Fab-scFv-Fc bispecific antibody was injected into CD38 + RPMI8 In vitro redirected T cell cytotoxicity (RTCC) of 266 myeloma cell lines 40k RPMI8266 cells were incubated with 400k human PBMCs for 96 hours. RTCC was measured by flow cytometry as indicated. (See Figure 44). CD69, Ki-67, and PI-9 CD4+ and CD8+ T Cellular expression was also characterized by flow cytometry and is shown in FIG.
[0261] Mouse model of antitumor activity On day -23, each of four groups of five NOD severe combined immunodeficiency gamma (NSG) mice , 5 x 10 6 RPMI8226TrS tumor cells (multiple myeloma, luciferase-expressing On day 0, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 10 × 10 6 of Human PBMCs were transplanted. After PBMC transplantation on day 0, the test substance was administered weekly (days 0 and 7). The study design is further summarized in Figure 46. Tumor growth was monitored using an in vivo imaging system (IVIS®). The flux was monitored by measuring the flux / mouse. Both 15426 demonstrated substantial anti-tumor effects (see Figures 47 and 48).
[0262] Cynomolgus monkey studies Cynomolgus monkeys were given a single dose of anti-CD38 x anti-CD3 bispecific. A D3 bispecific control was also included. The dose level was 20 μg / kg (in three independent studies). g of XmAb13551 (n = 2), 0.5 mg / kg of XmAb15426 (n = 3) , 3 mg / kg XmAb14702 (n=3), or 3 mg / kg XmAb132 45 (anti-RSV x anti-CD3 control, n=3). Anti-CD38 x anti-CD3 bispecific , rapidly depleted CD38+ cells in peripheral blood (see Figure 49). The 3 bispecifics resulted in T cell activation as measured by CD69 expression (Figure 50 Serum levels of IL-6 were also measured (see Figure 51). Overall, XmAb15426 extended the duration of CD38+ cell depletion and enhanced T cell activation and It is noteworthy that the patients had reduced levels of IL-6 production.
[0263] XmAb15426 and XmAb14702 were administered at 0.5 mg / kg and 3 mg, respectively. Both antibodies were well tolerated at these higher doses. This was consistent with the moderate levels of IL6 observed in serum from treated monkeys. XmAb15426, which has CD3 affinity of about 100%, inhibited CD38+ cells at 0.5 mg / kg. compared with the parent high affinity XmAb13551 administered at 2, 5 or 20 μg / kg Depletion by XmAb15426 was more effective than the maximum effective dose in previous studies. The effect was more sustained compared to XmAb13551 (7 days vs. 2 days, respectively). Cell depletion was more pronounced with XmAb15426, but not with T cell activation (CD69, CD25 and PD1 induction) was 2 times greater than in the 20 μg / kg XmAb13551 group. It was significantly lower in monkeys treated with XmAb15426 at a 5-fold higher dose. XmAb14702, which has low CD3 affinity, inhibits CD38+ cells and T cell activation. had little effect on
[0264] These results suggest that CD3 affinity may be attenuated to regulate T cell activation. This is a promising approach to improve the therapeutic window of T cell-engaging bispecific antibodies. This method is shown to be effective in stimulating the clearance of target antigens such as CD38. Improve tolerability and administer higher doses to overcome sink clearance Expanding the set of antigens that are suitable for targeted T cell immunotherapy by enabling We have demonstrated that XmAb1 has the potential to inhibit CD3 by reducing its affinity for CD3. While 5426 effectively depletes CD38+ cells, its high-affinity counterpart, XmA It has been shown to minimize the CRS effects seen at doses equivalent to b13551.
[0265] Example 3 Development of CDRs against CD123 The starting point for CDR development for the humanized antibody Fab human CD123 was ATCC HB-1 The variable and variable sequences of the 7G3 murine antibody, designated herein as "7G3 H0L0," from 2009 However, the first humanized region (H1_L1; sequence shown in Figure 136) column) resulted in a significant loss of affinity (5-fold as shown in Figure 156B and C). This loss in affinity is largely due to the lack of affinity shown for the H1_L0 construct. a portion is due to heavy chain humanization (e.g., a first humanized heavy chain with a murine light chain), The H1_L1 construct showed a significant 10-fold loss of CD123-expressing KG When tested against 1a cells, RTCC (T cell cytotoxicity assay) was observed, as shown in Figure 156D. This was consistent with a 10-fold loss in efficacy (reinduction of toxicity).
[0266] Therefore, two rounds of affinity / stability optimization were performed. The first round (shown in Figure 157) The library (denoted "Library 1") contains 108 variants containing LDA, target, and back-substitutions. These were then screened on a CD123 chip in Fab format (human CH from IgG1). Affinity screening was performed with a humanized variable heavy chain domain fused to 1) and neutral The stability of higher affinity mutants was screened with DSF.
[0267] As shown in Figure 158, the Tm of the initial H1L1 variant was significantly higher compared to the starting H0L0. The results for the increased and further variants of the H1L1 parent are shown in FIG.
[0268] The round 1 mutants were then subjected to sc immunoprecipitation against CD3 as further outlined herein. Fv and developed Fab were used to incorporate into the bottle opener format, and then Fig. 159 The antibodies were tested in the KG-1a binding assay and the RTCC assay as shown in The first round of optimization improved the affinity and potency of the mutants, but further optimization is required It was said that.
[0269] The second round, "Round 2," shown in Figure 160, is the mouse level of H0L0. This resulted in restoration of binding affinity and RTCC activity. 045 has improved affinity compared to the first humanized sequence (H1L1; + H1L1). 21-fold improvement), and also a 2-fold increase in activity relative to the parent murine antibody (7G3;H0L0). It is important to note that XENP13967 is equivalent to XENP14045 on the CD123 side. 13967 has a different CD3 scFv as shown in the sequence.
[0270] Round 2 optimization also resulted in increased stability as measured by Tm. Figure 161 shows the results of the Tm assay for XENP13967 (as well as XENP1404 5) +5C for the first chimera (e.g., variable heavy and light chain mouse sequences), 13967 / 14045 is a +4C improvement compared to the original H1L1 variant. In addition, during the second round, the possible substitutions The deamidation site (-NS motif) was removed from the light chain CDR1.
[0271] Example 4 Development of CDRs for CD20 Two anti-CD20 Fabs were analyzed in a CD20 x CD3 dual antibody for binding affinity and efficacy. Both XENP13677 and XENP13676 were investigated in a specific format. Based on tuximab, the 13677 variant is significantly more potent than the 13676 variant This demonstrates a potency similar to that of the parent rituximab antibody, with CD20 affinity similar to that of the parent rituximab antibody. Antibodies of different sexes were administered in a cynomolgus monkey study to compare their in vivo properties. However, due to the higher potency of the 13677 variant, the 13677 variant is 0.03 mg / kg compared to 0.3 mg / kg administered for 13676, which is lower At these doses, both antibodies significantly depleted monkey B cells. However, surprisingly, the significantly more potent 13677 actually The lower dose showed a more rapid recovery of B cells. On the other hand, both antibodies showed approximately the same In conclusion, the lower affinity variant 13676 induced a higher level of IL6 release than expected. Unexpectedly, this represents a more favorable treatment profile, while maintaining similar levels of IL6. This causes a longer-term depletion of B cells. The present invention also provides the following.
