AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current therapies for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are ineffective over time, and there is a need for radiotherapeutic compounds that accumulate more in tumors without significant uptake in normal organs, as existing macrocyclic complexes of radionuclides like DOTA have insufficient stability with larger isotopes.

Method used

Development of anti-PSMA antibody conjugates with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) chelators covalently linked to antibodies, specifically J591, with a ratio of about 2 to 7 DOTA per antibody, complexed with225Ac, forming stable complexes for targeted radiotherapy.

Benefits of technology

The anti-PSMA antibody conjugates with DOTA and225Ac achieve high stability and specificity, ensuring effective tumor targeting with minimal normal organ uptake, providing a therapeutic option for mCRPC and other PSMA-expressing cancers.

Description

PSMA RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL CONJUGATE AND USES THEREOF CROSS-REFERNCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application 63 / 570,410, filed March 27, 2024. The contents of which are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.REFERENCE TO AN ELECTRONIC SEQUENCE LISTING

[0002] The contents of the electronic sequence listing (CNTH_010_01WO_SeqList_ST26.xml; Size: 3,013 bytes; and Date of Creation: March 25, 2025) are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Prostate cancer (PC) is a significant health burden, with 180,890 new diagnoses and 26,120 deaths in the United States in 2016 alone. Despite advances in diagnostic technology and treatment strategies, up to 40% of patients treated with primary therapy with curative intent will experience disease progression. PC deaths are typically the result of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and historically the median survival for men with mCRPC has been less than two years. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) poses a particular clinical challenge in need of additional therapeutic approaches beyond classic androgen deprivation therapies. Chemotherapy compounds docetaxel and cabazitaxel, the androgen receptor signaling inhibitor enzalutamide, CYP-17-inhibitor abiraterone, autologous cellular immunotherapy with sipuleucel-T, and the bone-seeking a-emitter 223Ra have shown improved overall survival (OS) and most have demonstrated quality of life advantages as well. However, these agents have been tested in multiple disease states of mCRPC to determine if or when patients might benefit from each treatment. However, in all cases, these now established therapies become ineffective in controlling tumor progression over time.

[0004] Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a cell surface marker which can be overexpressed in malignant prostate tissues when compared to other organs in the human body such as kidney, proximal small intestine, and salivary glands, and is present and enriched in 75-95% of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PSMA is also expressed on the neovasculature within many non-prostate solid tumors, including lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, transitional cell carcinoma ofthe bladder, neuroendocrine carcinoma, glioblastoma multiforme, melanoma, and non-soft tissue sarcoma, but not on normal vasculature.

[0005] New therapies are urgently needed in order to treat cancers, including PSMA expressing cancers such as prostate cancer

[0006] For example, there is also a need for radiotherapeutic compounds that accumulate to a greater degree in tumors without unacceptable uptake in normal organs, as absorbed dose is a function of the integral of cumulative activity. Though targeted radiotherapy has been practiced for some time using macrocyclic complexes of radionuclides, the macrocycles currently in use (e.g., DOTA) generally form complexes of insufficient stability with radionuclides, particularly for radionuclides of larger size, such as actinium, radium, bismuth, and lead isotopes. There is thus a need for additional therapies for treating PSMA expression cancers and the use of radiotherapeutic compounds for such specific cancers.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The disclosures of these patents, patent applications and publications in their entireties are incorporated into this disclosure by reference for all purposes in order to more fully describe the state of the art as known to those skilled therein as of the date of this disclosure. This disclosure will govern in the instance that there is any inconsistency between the patents, patent applications and publications cited and this disclosure.

[0025] All publications, patents and patent applications, including any drawings and appendices therein are incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent or patent application, drawing, or appendix was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference in While the following terms are believed to be well understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, the following definitions are set forth to facilitate explanation of the presently disclosed subject matter.Definitions

[0026] Throughout the present specification, the terms “about” and / or “approximately” may be used in conjunction with numerical values and / or ranges. The term “about” is understood to mean those values near to a recited value. Furthermore, the phrases “less than about [a value]” or “greaterthan about [a value]” should be understood in view of the definition of the term “about” provided herein. The terms “about” and “approximately” may be used interchangeably.

[0027] Throughout the present specification, numerical ranges are provided for certain quantities. It is to be understood that these ranges comprise all subranges therein. Thus, the range “from 50 to 80” includes all possible ranges therein (e.g., 51-79, 52-78, 53-77, 54-76, 55-75, 60-70, etc.). Furthermore, all values within a given range may be an endpoint for the range encompassed thereby (e.g., the range 50-80 includes the ranges with endpoints such as 55-80, 50-75, etc.).

[0028] The term “a” or “an” refers to one or more of that entity; for example, “a cancer therapeutic” refers to one or more cancer therapeutics or at least one cancer therapeutic. As such, the terms “a” (or “an”), “one or more” and “at least one” are used interchangeably herein. In addition, reference to “an inhibitor” by the indefinite article “a” or “an” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the inhibitors is present, unless the context clearly requires that there is one and only one of the inhibitors.

[0029] As used herein, the verb “comprise” as is used in this description and in the claims and its conjugations are used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. The present disclosure may suitably “comprise”, “consist of’, or “consist essentially of’, the steps, elements, and / or reagents described in the claims.

[0030] It is further noted that the claims may be drafted to exclude any optional element. As such, this statement is intended to serve as antecedent basis for use of such exclusive terminology as "solely", "only" and the like in connection with the recitation of claim elements, or the use of a "negative" limitation.

[0031] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” includes both acid and base addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those obtained by reacting an active compound functioning as a base, with an inorganic or organic acid to form a salt, for example, salts of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, formic acid, hydrobromic acid, benzoic acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, carbonic acid, etc. Those skilled in the artwill further recognize that acid addition salts may be prepared by reaction of the compounds with the appropriate inorganic or organic acid via any of a number of known methods.

[0032] The term "treating" means one or more of relieving, alleviating, delaying, reducing, improving, or managing at least one symptom of a condition in a subject. The term "treating" may also mean one or more of arresting, delaying the onset (i.e., the period prior to clinical manifestation of the condition) or reducing the risk of developing or worsening a condition.

[0033] The term "therapeutically effective" applied to dose or amount refers to that quantity of an antibody, compound or pharmaceutical formulation that is sufficient to result in a desired clinical benefit after administration to a patient in need thereof.

[0034] As used herein, a “subject” or “patient” can be a human, non- human primate, mammal, rat, mouse, cow, horse, pig, sheep, goat, dog, cat and the like.

[0035] ‘ ‘Mammal” includes humans and both domestic animals such as laboratory animals (e.g., mice, rats, monkeys, dogs, etc.) and household pets (e.g., cats, dogs, swine, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits), and non-domestic animals such as wildlife and the like.

[0036] All weight percentages (i.e., "% by weight" and "wt. %" and w / w) referenced herein, unless otherwise indicated, are measured relative to the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition.

[0037] As used herein, "substantially" or "substantial" refers to the complete or nearly complete extent or degree of an action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or result. For example, an object that is "substantially" enclosed would mean that the object is either completely enclosed or nearly completely enclosed. The exact allowable degree of deviation from absolute completeness may in some cases depend on the specific context. However, generally speaking, the nearness of completion will be so as to have the same overall result as if absolute and total completion were obtained. The use of "substantially" is equally applicable when used in a negative connotation to refer to the complete or near complete lack of action, characteristic, property, state, structure, item, or result. For example, a composition that is "substantially free of' other active agents would either completely lack other active agents, or so nearly completely lack other active agents that the effect would be the same as if it completely lacked other active agents. In otherwords, a composition that is "substantially free of' an ingredient or element or another active agent may still contain such an item as long as there is no measurable effect thereof.

[0038] The terms "pharmaceutical combination," "therapeutic combination" or "combination" as used herein, refers to a single dosage form comprising at least two therapeutically active agents, or separate dosage forms comprising at least two therapeutically active agents together or separately for use in a combination therapy. For example, one therapeutically active agent may be formulated into one dosage form and the other therapeutically active agent may be formulated into a single or different dosage forms. For example, one therapeutically active agent may be formulated into a solid oral dosage form whereas the second therapeutically active agent may be formulated into a solution dosage form for parenteral administration, including as a kit, or from two kits.

[0039] A “fixed dosage form” as used herein means a dosage formulation in which one or more therapeutically active agents are combined in a single dosage formulation.

[0040] A “co-packaged form” as used herein means that the therapeutically active agents are taken together, more than one dosage forms wherein the therapeutically active agents are taken together, or more than one dosage forms wherein the therapeutically active agents are taken separately in two or more pharmaceutical compositions, i.e., such as two or more separate tablets, capsules, gel capsules, pellets, etc, but typically the separate compositions are as a single kit.

[0041] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a formulation comprising at least one therapeutically active agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier. A non-limiting example of pharmaceutical compositions includes tablets, capsules, gel capsules, syrup, liquid, gel, suspension, solid dispersion, or combinations thereof.

[0042] As used herein, “complex” refers to a complex of the compound of the invention, e.g. Formula (I) or Formula (II), complexed with a radionuclide or a metal ion, where at least one metal atom is chelated or sequestered.

[0043] A “conjugate” refers to a chelating agent, complexed or not complexed to at least one metal atom, that is covalently attached to a biological carrier, such as an antibody, including antibody that binds to PSMA.

[0044] As used herein, “PSMA” or “prostate-specific membrane antigen” protein refers to mammalian PSMA, preferably human PSMA protein. The long transcript of PSMA encodes a protein product of about 100-120 kDa molecular weight characterized as a type II transmembrane receptor having sequence homology with the transferrin receptor and having NAALADase activity (Carter et al., “Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen is a Hydrolase With Substrate and Pharmacologic Characteristics of a Neuropeptidase,” Proc. Natl. Acad. Set. USA 93:749-753 (1996), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). An anti -PSMA antibody or PSMA receptor antibody is an antibody that interacts with (e.g., binds to) PSMA, preferably human PSMA protein. Preferably, the anti-PSMA antibody or PSMA receptor antibody interacts with, e.g., binds to, the extracellular domain of PSMA, e.g., the extracellular domain of human PSMA located at about amino acids 44-750 of human PSMA (amino acid residues correspond to the human PSMA sequence disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,866, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). Anti-PSMA antibodies or PSMA receptor antibodies are known in the art (Goldsmith et al., “Targeted Radionuclide Therapy for Prostate Cancer,” in Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine 617-628 (R. Baum ed. 2014), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). Exemplary PSMA receptor antibodies or anti-PSMA antibodies include, but are not limited to, J591, J415, J533, and E99.

[0045] As used herein, the term “biological carrier” refers to any biological targeting vector, such as a protein, an antibody, an antibody fragment, a hormone, a peptide, a growth factor, an antigen, a hapten or any other carrier, which functions in this invention to recognize a specific biological target site. An antibody and an antibody fragment refers to any polyclonal, monoclonal, chimeric, human, mammalian, single chains, dimeric and tetrameric antibody or antibody fragment. Such biological carrier, when attached to a functionalized complex, serves to carry the attached ion to specific targeted tissues.

[0046] As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to a polypeptide that includes canonical immunoglobulin sequence elements sufficient to confer specific binding to a particular target antigen (e.g., a heavy chain variable domain, a light chain variable domain, and / or one or more CDRs sufficient to confer specific binding to a particular target antigen). Thus, the term antibody includes, for example, and without limitation, human antibodies, non-human antibodies, antibody fragments, and antigen-binding agents that include antibody fragments, inclusive of synthetic,engineered, and modified forms thereof. The term antibody includes, by way of example, both naturally occurring and non-naturally occurring antibodies. In general, an antibody may comprise at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds, or an antigen-binding molecule thereof. Each H chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three constant domains, CHI, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region comprises one constant domain, CL. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each VH and VL comprises three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino -terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The constant regions of the Abs may mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system. Naturally-produced antibodies are glycosylated, typically on the CH2 domain. Examples of antibodies include monoclonal antibodies, monospecific antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (including bispecific antibodies), engineered antibodies, recombinantly produced antibodies, wholly synthetic antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, immunoglobulins, tetrameric antibodies comprising two heavy chain and two light chain molecules, antibody light chain monomers, antibody heavy chain monomers, antibody light chain dimers, antibody heavy chain dimers, antibody light chainantibody heavy chain pairs, intrabodies, antibody fusions (sometimes referred to herein as “antibody conjugates”), heteroconjugate antibodies, single domain antibodies, monovalent antibodies, single chain antibodies or single-chain Fvs (scFv), camelized antibodies, affibodies, Fab fragments, Fab’ fragments, F(ab’)2 fragments, Fd’ fragments, Fd fragments, isolated CDRs, single chain Fvs, polypeptide-Fc fusions, single domain antibodies (e.g., shark single domain antibodies such as IgNAR or fragments thereof); cameloid antibodies; disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies (including, e.g., anti-anti-Id antibodies), minibodies, domain antibodies, synthetic antibodies (sometimes referred to herein as “antibody mimetics”), single chain or Tandem diabodies (TandAb®), Anticalins®, Nanobodies®, minibodies, BiTE®s, ankyrinrepeat proteins or DARPINs®, Avimers®, DARTs, TCR-like antibodies, Adnectins®, Affilins®, Trans-bodies®, Affibodies®, TrimerX®, MicroProteins, m Fynomers®, Centyrins®, KALBITOR®s, and antigen-binding fragments of any of the above.

[0047] As used herein, the term “Fc-silent antibody” refers to an antibody comprising one or more mutations in the Fc domain that reduce, prevent, or eliminate binding of the Fc region of the antibody to Fc receptors, such as FcyR or FcR, which may result in decreased antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and / or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Exemplary mutations that may reduce, prevent, or eliminate antibody binding to an Fc receptor include, but are not limited to, S228P, E233P, L234A, L235A, L235E, L235F, G236R, G237A, D265A, N297A, L328R, P331S, and any combination thereof (Saunders, Conceptual Approaches to Modulate Antibody Effector Functions and Circulation Half-Life, Front. Immunol., 2019, doi.org / 10.3389 / fimmu.2019.01296). In some embodiments, substitution of any or all of positions 234, 235, 236 and / or 237 reduces affinity for Fey receptors, particularly FcyRl receptor (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,624,821). In some embodiments, alanine is a preferred residue for substitution and L234A / L235A is a preferred dual mutation to reduce effector function. In some embodiments, other combinations of mutations with reduced effector functions include, but are not limited to, L234A / L235A / G237A, E233P / L234V / L235A / G236, A327G / A330S / P331S, K322A, L234A and L235A,L234F / L235E / P331S. Optionally, positions 234, 236 and / or 237 in human IgG2 are substituted with alanine and position 235 with glutamine, (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,624,821). Two amino acid substitutions in the complement Clq binding site at EU index positions 330 and 331 reduce complement fixation (see Tao et al., J. Exp. Med. 178:661 (1993) and Canfield and Morrison, J. Exp. Med. 173: 1483 (1991)). Substitution into human IgGl of IgG2 residues at positions 233-236 and IgG4 residues at positions 327, 330 and 331 greatly reduces ADCC and CDC (see, for example, Armour K L. et ah, 1999 Eur J Immunol. 29(8):2613-24; and Shields RL. et ah, 2001. J Biol Chem. 276(9): 6591-604). N297A, N297Q, or N297G (Eu numbering) mutations reduce glycosylation and thereby effector functions. In some embodiments, any of the antibodies disclosed herein comprise one or more mutations in the Fc region to reduce, prevent, or eliminate binding to Fc receptors.

In some embodiments, mutations in the Fc region to reduce, prevent, or eliminate binding to Fc receptors occur at EU index positions 228, 233, 234, 235, 235, 235, 236, 237, 265, 297, 322, 327, 328, 330, 331, and any combination thereof. In some embodiments, mutations in the Fc region to reduce, prevent, or eliminate binding to Fc receptors include, but are not limited to, S228P, E233P, L234A, L235A, L235E, L235F, G236R, G237A, D265A, N297A, K322A, A327G, L328R, A330S, P331S, and any combination thereof. Additional mutations in the Fc region that reduce, prevent, or eliminate binding to Fc receptors and alternative strategies for reducing, preventing, or eliminating binding to Fc receptors are described in, e.g., Saunders, 2019, Tao, 1993, Canfield and Morrison, 1991, Armour, 1999, Shields, 2001, and U.S. No. 6,624,821.

[0048] As used herein, the terms “Fc-enabled antibody,” “Fc-enhanced antibody,” and “Fc- competent antibody” are used interchangeably and refer to an antibody comprising an FC domain that is capable of binding to Fc receptors, such as FcyR or FcR. These antibodies may further comprise one or more mutations to enhance or increase binding to Fc receptors, which may result in enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and / or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Exemplary mutations that may enhance ADCC include, but are not limited to, S298A, E333A, K334A, S239D, I332E, P247I, A339Q, and any combination thereof (van der Horst, et al., Fc-Engineered Antibodies with Enhanced Fc-Effector Function for the Treatment of B-Cell Malignancies, Cancers (Basel), 12(10):3041, 2020). Exemplary mutations that may enhance ADCP include, but are not limited to, F234L, R292P, Y300L, V305I, P396L, A330L, G236A, and any combination thereof (van der Horst, et al., 2020). Exemplary mutations that may enhance CDC include, but are not limited to, E345G, E430G, K326W, E333S, S267E, H268E, S324T, and any combination thereof (van der Horst, et al., 2020). In some embodiments, any of the antibodies disclosed herein comprise one or more mutations in the Fc region to enhance or enable binding to Fc receptors. In some embodiments, any of the antibodies disclosed herein comprise one or more mutations in the Fc region to enhance or enable binding to FcyR. In some embodiments, any of the antibodies disclosed herein comprise one or more mutations in the Fc region to enhance or enable binding to FcyRIIIA.In some embodiments, any of the antibodies disclosed herein comprise one or more mutations in the Fc region to enhance or enable binding to FcyRIV. In some embodiments, any of the antibodies disclosed herein comprise one or more mutations in the Fc region to enable or enhance ADCC, ADCP, and / or CDC. In some embodiments, one or more substitutions in the Fc region to enhance or enable binding to Fc receptors occur at EU index positions 234, 235, 236, 239, 243, 247, 267, 268, 292, 298, 300, 305, 324, 326, 330, 332, 333, 334, 339, 345, 396, 430, and any combination thereof. In some embodiments, mutations in the Fc region to enhance or enable binding to Fc receptors include, but are not limited to, F234L, L235V, G236A, S239D, F243L, P247I, S267E, H268E, R292P, S298A, Y300L, V305I, S324T, K326W, A330L, I332E, E333A, E333S, K334A, A339Q, E345G, P396L, E430G, and any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the Fc- enabled antibody comprises a modified IgGI domain characterized by substitutions at S239D, A330L, and I332E (Eu numbering). Alternatively, glycoform perturbation can be used to enhance Fc-mediated therapeutic antibody function. The N-linked Fc glycosylations on IgGI antibodies are important for effector function. Sialylation, galactosylation, bisecting sugars, and fucosylation can all affect binding and activity of IgG molecules. Controlling the glycosylation patterns on therapeutic antibodies can be done a number of different ways. The type of cell producing the recombinant antibody and its culture conditions can affect glycosylation and activity of therapeutic antibodies. Furthermore, bioreactor conditions and downstream processing can also affect the glycan microheterogenity. Low or afucosylated antibodies have been shown to enhance remediating properties. Numerous ways to achieve this reduction of fucose levels by glycoengineering are well known in the art. One way is to manipulate the enzymes involved in the post-translational modification of antibodies. This can involve overexpression of glucosidases, such as P-l-4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III, knocking out fucoslytransferases, or using cell lines that are naturally fucose-deficient or have been mutated to express low fucosylation levels. In addition, inhibitors of N-linked glucosidases, such as castanospermine, can also be used to obtain low fucose bearing IgG molecules. In some embodiments amino acid engineered variants can have more broadly enhanced affinity for multiple FcyR, whereas glycoform engineered antibody can generally have more specific affinity for enhanced FcyRIIIa binding. Glycoforms interact with proximal amino acids on the Fc portion and replacement of the amino acid that come in contact with Ig oligosaccharides can result in different glycoform structures. Additionalmutations in the Fc region that enhance or enable binding to Fc receptors and alternative strategies for enhancing or enabling binding to Fc receptors are described in Saunders, 2019.

[0132] The disclosure now being generally described, it will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples which are included merely for purposes of illustration of certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the invention.EXAMPLES

[0133] Example 1: Prior art Method of Preparation of225Ac Complexes and Conjugates

[0134] The preparation of the225Ac complexes is described in U.S. Patent No. 6,683,162, and is incorporated by reference herein, involves a 2-step labeling method to prepare mCi amounts of Ac- 225 labeled DOTA-NCS species at pH 4.5-5 in acetate buffer at 55-60° C. for 30 min. in high yield (95% +8%, n=36); subsequently, the [Ac-225]DOTA-NCS is mixed with J591 antibody in carbonate buffer at pH 8.5-9 at 37° C. for 30 min. The final product is purified by size exclusion chromatography using a 10 mL BioRad 10DG column and 1% HSA. Typical reaction yields are 10%±5%. Constructs thus prepared are assayed using established ITLC methods that quantify labeled J591, free [Ac-225] chelate and unbound Ac-225 and cell-based immunoreactivity assays.

[0135] Example 2: High Purity DOTA Activation and Conjugation to J591 anti-PSMA antibody

[0136] The J591 antibody is produced by a NS0 or CHO cell and purified from the supernatant.

[0137] DOTA powder and NHS powder were weighed and dissolved into a 0.4 M NaHCOs solution. EDC powder was then dissolved in water and is added to the DOTA / NHS solution. The DOTA activation was allowed to proceed for 45 (30-60) min at 5 (4-6) °C to form a DOTA-NHS ester, with a structure as below.

[0138] Before conjugation, the ultrafiltration / diafiltration (UF / DF-1) pool was transferred from a 10L PC bottle to a conjugation reactor. For the conjugation reaction, the DOTA / J591 antibody ratio was a molar ratio of 300, the NHS / J591 was a molar ratio of 300, the NaHCCh / DOTA molar ratio was 3, and EDC / J591 molar ratio was 22. The UF / DF-1 pool was diluted with conjugation buffer (0.1 M K2HPO4, 0.1 M NaHCCh, pH 8.5) to concentration of 7.5 g / L. The activated DOTA- NHS ester was then added into the diluted UF / DF-1 pool to start the conjugation reaction using an addition time of 4 (< 5) min. The conjugation was allowed to proceed for 90 (range of 60-180) min at 20 (range of 17-23) °C.

[0139] To quench the conjugation reaction, a 1.5 M NH2OH solution was added to achieve a hydroxylammonium chloride / DOTA molar ratio of 5.0. The quenching reaction was allowed to proceed for 1.0 (range of 0.5 -1.5) hours at 20 (range of 18-22) °C. The quenched mixture was then diluted with conjugation buffer (0.1 M K2HPO4, 0.1 M NaHCCh, pH 8.5) to a concentration of 4.0 (3.0-5.0) g / L and filtered through a 0.2 pm filter into a PC bottle. The results show that an average ratio range of about 3 DOTAs per J591 antibody to about 5 DOTAs per J591 antibody

[0140] Example 3: Manufacturing of pure225Ac labeled conjugated J591

[0141] The addition of Actinium (225Ac) to conjugated J591 antibody as developed in Example 2 above is accomplished in two phases. In the first phase, a multi-dose Bulk-Batch of225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan (from Example 2) is manufactured and was allowed for225Ac to reach secular equilibrium with its two daughters,221Fr and213Bi. The equilibrium process lasted longer than 6 hours, and was a critical step to accurately measure the amount of225Ac activity needed to prepare a patient-specific unit-dose of Actinium (225Ac) J591 tetraxetan.

[0142] In the second phase, sub-batches were prepared with different aliquots of the Bulk-batch and mixing them with naked, unconjugated J591 to achieve a total antibody mass of about 20 mg. The volume of each sub-batch was adjusted to 18-22 mL using the diluent, sterile saline containing 2% (or 20 mg / mL) of human serum albumin (HSA). Finally, the total volume of each sub-batch was sterile filtered using a 0.2 p membrane filter directly into the FDP vial, the container-closure system. QC and retain samples were withdrawn from each sub-batch.

[0143] Preparation of225Ac Chloride

[0144] 225Ac nitrate (as dry residue) was first converted to225Ac chloride, by adding 0.2 M hydrochloric acid (0.2 M) to make a 10 mCi / mL solution.

[0145] Radiolabeling Mixture

[0146] 0.25 mL of tetramethyl ammonium acetate (TMAA) buffer (2M, pH 8.5±0.3) was then added225Ac chloride (0.4-0.5 or 0.7-1.0 mCi), The contents were then gently mixed, followed by the addition of 0.3 or 0.6 mL (or 3 or 6 mg) of the conjugated J591 tetraxetan antibody (10 mg / mL). The contents were gently mixed. The pH of the reaction mixture was measured and adjusted with 0.1 M HC1 to 5.5 - 6.2.

[0147] Incubation: Radiolabeling

[0148] The reaction mixture was allowed to incubate for 2±0.25 hours at 37±1°C. If the labeling efficiency (LE) is >50%, the reaction is quenched.

[0149] Quenching the Reaction and Purification

[0150] At the end of incubation time, the labeling reaction was quenched by adding 0.1 mL of diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTP A) solution (10 mM), and incubated for 10 min. The225Aclabeled J591 tetraxetan was then purified from free225Ac-DTPA using a gel filtration method with 10 DG desalting column and sterile saline with 2% human serum albumin (saline-HSA) as an eluent. The225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan was collected using 3.5 mL of eluent. The volume of purified labeled product was adjusted to 5 or 10 mL using saline-HSA solution.

[0151] The total volume (5 or 10 mL) was then sterile filtered directly into a 10 mL sterile and pyrogen-free vial using 0.2 p membrane filter. In addition, a QC sample was withdrawn to perform several in-process quality control tests.

[0152] This Bulk-batch vial was stored at 2-8°C for 6-24 hours to allow225Ac to reach secular equilibrium with its daughters. Once equilibrium was reached, the amount of225Ac activity was measured in a dose calibrator and activity was confirmed. Individual batches may then be drawn from this bulk batch.

[0153] Preparation of Sub-Batches

[0154] Once the secular equilibrium was reached, the Bulk-batch was used to prepare 1-3 subbatches. A patient specific225Ac dose of intermediate from Bulk-batch (90-220 pCi in 1-3 mL) was estimated and corrected for decay; QC and retain samples were taken. The volume of the intermediate is then mixed (in a 30 ml sterile syringe) with naked unconjugated J591 to bring the total antibody mass to 22 mg. The volume is then adjusted to 22 mL with sterile saline-HSA solution.

[0155] The total volume of each sub-batch solution was sterile filtered directly into a 30 mL sterile and pyrogen-free vial (container-closure system) using 0.2p sterile membrane filter. The225Ac activity in each of the sub-batches was measured and documented. After testing for appearance (visual inspection), QC and retain samples (1.2 mL) were withdrawn from each of the sub-batch vials. The vials with patient-specific unit-doses were again measured for total225Ac activity and documented as the calibration or reference time.

[0156] Example 4: Monomer Purity Assay

[0157] The sub batches from Example 3 were tested to confirm purity. The monomer purity, high molecular weight and low molecular weight impurities were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-size exclusion chromatography-(HPLC-SEC). As indicated in Fig. 1, at least96% of225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan was determined to be in the monomer form, less than 4% of225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan was determined to be in a high molecular form, and the amount of low molecular weight impurities is negligible to undetected, indicating that the conjugation and chelation process do not substantially adversely affect the purity of J591 and the composition comprising225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan is stable.

[0158] Example 5: Immunoreactivity Assay

[0159] The sub batches of Example 4 are tested for immunoreactivity wherein the immunoreactive fraction (IRF)225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan is tested. The testing is performed using PSMA-bound magnetic beads and a protocol as described in in Nucl Med Biol. 2019 Apr; 71: 32-38, which is incorporated by reference herein. Briefly, each sample is prepared by aliquoting 20 pL of the magnetic bead slurry into a 1.5 mL lo-bind microcentrifuge tube (13-698-794; Fisher Scientific). The beads are washed by adding 380 pL of phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween- 20 (PBS-T), and the tubes are vortexed for 5 seconds followed by a brief spin in a minicentrifuge prior to placing the tubes on a magnetic rack (12321D; DynaMag™-2; ThermoFisher Scientific) for 30-45 sec to isolate the magnetic beads. The PSMA antigen is resuspended as per manufacturer instructions to achieve a concentration of a 0.1 mg / mL. The washed beads are resuspended in 390 pL of PBS-T and the beads in all tubes except the control arm are incubated with 1 pg (10 pL) of His-tagged or biotinylated PSMA antigen for 15 min on a rotating mixer at room temperature. Subsequently, the beads are washed once with 400 pL of PBS-T before adding 1 ng of the225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan resuspended in 1% BSA-PBS or PBS-T. The225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan is incubated with PSMA antigen-coated beads for 30 min on a rotating mixer at room temperature. A large excess (1-5 pg) of the unlabeled J591 is added a few seconds prior to adding 1 ng of the225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan to PSMA antigen-coated beads in the blocking arm. Thereafter, the beads are isolated using a magnet, and the supernatant containing unbound radioligand was aspirated with a pipette and collected in separate tubes. To remove non-specifically-bound225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan, the beads are washed twice with 400 pL of PBS-T. Finally, the beads, supernatant and washes are measured for radioactivity on a gamma counter. The225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan IRF or TBF is determined from the percentage of total activity bound to PSMA antigen-coated magnetic beads minus the percentage of non-specific binding in the control arm.The assay indicates that the225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan from Example 3 and 4 is immunoreactive and has an IRF of at least 60%.

[0160] Example 6: Immunoreactivity Assay

[0161] The225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan from the bulk batch of Example 3 was tested for immunoreactivity, i.e., the immunoreactive fraction (IRF). First, 10 pl was taken from the bulk batch composition (diluted 1:500 in 1% HSA ) and added to 5.0 ml of PBS containing 1% HSA. 5 different volumes of PSMA-bound magnetic beads ( i.e., 1.0, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 mL) were added to separate plastic tubes and 0.5 ml of diluted bulk batch composition comprising225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan was added to each of the plastic tubes comprising PSMA-bound magnetic beads. The mixture was incubated for 2 hrs. The tubes were then kept in a magnetic stand for 5 min to allow for separation of the antibody bound PSMA magnetic beads from the unbound antibody. The solution with the unbound antibody (unbound225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan) was then removed. The antibody bound magnetic beads were then washing two or more times with PBS containing 1% HSA. The radioactivity of the beads from each tube was then tested in the gamma counter. A determination of %bound of each concentration of PSMA-beads was determined. A double reciprocal plot of bead concentration and %Bound is performed and the IRF at infinite antigen excess was determined. As shown in Fig. 2, the IRF at infinite antigen excess was 112%.

[0162] Example ?: Immunoreactivity Assay

[0163] The225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan from the bulk batch of Example 3 is tested for immunoreactivity, i.e., the immunoreactive fraction (IRF).

[0164] The bulk batch is first diluted 1:500 in 1% HSA in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The diluted bulk is added to 5 point-dilution series of PSMA bound magnetic beads as in Example 6) and to a set of standards. The various dilutions (test articles) and standards are first measured in the Gamma Counter and then incubated at 37°C for 2 hrs. with agitation. The test articles are then washed twice with 1% HSA in PBS and then suspended in 1 mL of 1% HSA in PBS. All test articles and standards are then measured in the Gamma Counter. The test articles and standardsare then stored at 2-8°C overnight to allow the225Ac to reach secular equilibrium (> 6 hrs). The test articles and standards are then measured again in the Gamma Counter. The counts per minute (CPM) for each test article are entered into a Lindmo Plot and the R2 value is recorded. The immunoreactive fraction is then determined using a double reciprocal plot of bound (1 / B) and concentration (1 / C) values; IRF is estimated at infinite antigen excess. The immunoreactive fraction of225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan is determined by specific binding to PSMA bound magnetic beads. In a specific method, the %IRF is determined by taking the bound fraction (CPM) of the test article (can be the average CPM if more than 1 tube of test article is tested) divided by the average CPM of the standards.

[0165] Example 8: Purity of Prior art225Ac labeled J591 DOTA Conjugate

[0166] 225Ac labeled J591 DOTA conjugate from Example 1 tested to confirm purity and immunoreactivity. The monomer purity, high molecular weight and low molecular weight impurities are analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-size exclusion chromatography-(HPLC-SEC). Only about 65% of225Ac labeled J591 tetraxetan is determined to be in the monomer form, and about 25-30% of225Ac labeled J591 is in a high molecular form, indicating an unstable composition comprising225Ac labeled J591.

[0167] The IRF is determined as in the protocol of Example 5, and indicates that the225Ac labeled J591 DOTA conjugate from Example 1 has a significantly lower IRF, i.e., less than 60%.
