[0001] Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO LYSOSOMAL TARGETING BIFUNCTIONAL MOLECULES FOR DEGRADATION OF THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR AUTOANTIBODIES CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS The present application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No.63 / 571,393, filed March 28, 2024, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety in the present disclosure. BACKGROUND Many therapeutics act by binding a functionally important site on a target protein, thereby modulating the activity of that protein, or by recruiting immune effectors, as with many monoclonal antibody drugs, to act upon the target protein. However, there is an untapped reservoir of medically important human proteins that are considered to be “undruggable” because these proteins are not readily amenable to currently available therapeutic targeting approaches. Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the thyroid gland and is caused by autoantibodies to the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). (T.F. Davies et al., Graves’ Disease, Nature Reviews - Disease Primers, 6:52 (2020)). Graves’ Disease, also known as von Basedow disease, is characterized by an enlarged and overactive thyroid gland (Graves’ hyperthyroidism). Other symptoms include arrythmia, goiter, irritability, fatigue, weight-fluctuation, bone loss; extrathyroidal manifestations including orbitopathy (thyroid eye disease, TED), and pre-tibial skin thickening or rash. Graves’ Disease affects approximately 2% of women and 0.2% of men globally. Current treatments include antithyroid drugs, radioiodine and surgery. The treatment of patients with GD has not changed in many years and newer, more effective therapies could improve outcomes. Thyroid eye disease (TED), also known as thyroid-associated orbitopathy, Graves ophthalmopathy and Graves orbitopathy, is an autoimmune condition that can be disfiguring and impair sight. (Kossler et al.) In the United States, TED affects approximately 16 of every 100,000 females and 3 of every 100,000 males. Improved treatments over the current standards of care for both Graves’ disease and TED are needed. LYTACs (lysosomal targeting chimera) are bifunctional molecules for selective protein degradation. The first LYTACs targeted extracellular proteins for degradation via engaging the cation- independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-M6PR) or the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). ASGPR is the transmembrane glycoprotein receptor found primarily in hepatocytes which plays an important role in serum glycoprotein homeostasis by mediating the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of glycoproteins with exposed terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A lysosome-targeting chimera (LYTAC) is a protein-based therapeutic designed to bind and rapidly clear, via targeted degradation, thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies. Structurally, in some embodiments, a fusion protein of a TSHR polypeptide and human serum albumin that is conjugated, using nonspecific lysine conjugation, to a linker-internalizer comprising a non- cleavable linker bound to a stabilized tri-GalNAc derivative. The fusion protein binds to anti-TSHR autoantibodies, while the linker-internalizer promotes rapid systemic clearance mediated by cellular uptake via binding to the liver specific asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR). ASGPR is a heterotrimer with two ASGPR1 and one ASGPR2 subunits. The human ASGPR1 carbohydrate recognition domain shares 79-99% sequence identity across monkey, dog, rabbit, rat and mouse proteins and complete conservation of residues within 5 Å of a bound GalNAc based on a co-crystal structure. No structural information is available for ASGPR2, but the human carbohydrate recognition domain shares 67-96% sequence identity across monkey, dog, rabbit, rat, and mouse proteins. Furthermore, ASGPR-mediated liver distribution of GalNAc-conjugated siRNAs has been demonstrated for rat and monkey (McDougall et al, 2021). As summarized above, this disclosure provides lysosomal targeting bifunctional molecules (also referred to as conjugates or LYTACs) that target disease causing anti-TSHR autoantibodies for degradation. The lysosomal targeting bifunctional molecules include a ligand moiety that specifically Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO binds to an asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), and which is linked to a thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) polypeptide that specifically binds target anti-TSHR autoantibodies. 1.1 Lysosomal Targeting Bifunctional Molecules (LYTACs) In some embodiments, a conjugate binds pathogenic anti-TSHR antibodies in circulation and forms a ternary complex with a liver-specific internalizing receptor, ASGPR. After clathrin-mediated endocytosis, the protein complex progresses through the endocytic pathway whereby ASGPR dissociates due to decreasing pH and Ca2+levels and is recycled to the cell surface. A conjugate and the pathogenic antibody continue to the lysosome where they are degraded by lysosomal proteases. The bifunctional molecules (e.g., conjugates or LYTACs) of this disclosure having a particular configuration of ASGPR binding moieties (X) with a linker of desired valency and / or length can specifically bind with high affinity to both the ASGPR receptor and a target anti-TSHR antibody simultaneously and exhibit high uptake activity of the target autoantibody. The conjugates of this disclosure can provide for sequestering and degrading of a target anti-TSHR autoantibody in the cell’s lysosome. In some embodiments, the lysosomal targeting bifunctional molecule is a conjugate of Formula I: Xa c e L6Y-B I or a n is 1 to 10; m is 1 to 10; X is a moiety that binds to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR); Y is a carrier polypeptide connected to B; B is a thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) polypeptide that binds anti-TSHR autoantibody; each L1to L6is independently a linking moiety which together provide a linear or branched linker between each X and the Y-B complex; and a, b, c, d, and e are each independently 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO In some embodiments, L6comprises a residual moiety resulting from the covalent linkage of a thiol-reactive chemoselective ligation group to one or more cysteine residue(s) of Y-B; or L6is a residual moiety resulting from the covalent linkage of an amine-reactive chemoselective ligation group to one or more lysine residue(s) of Y-B. In some embodiments, Y-B is a chimeric fusion protein (i.e., Y-B complex) including a carrier polypeptide and a polypeptide that specifically binds the target anti-TSHR autoantibody. It is to be understood that each X can be independently bonded to Y or B of the Y-B chimeric fusion protein via the linking moiety, e.g., one or more X can be bonded to Y and one or more X can be bonded to B. Each of the components of the lysosomal targeting bifunctional molecules, configurations of such molecules, and methods of using the same, are now described in greater detail. In some embodiments, n is from about 2 to about 10. In some embodiments, n is from about 2 to about 9, from about 2 to about 8, from about 2 to about 7, from about 2 to about 6, from about 2 to about 5, from about 2 to about 4.

In some embodiments, m is about 4 to about 6. 1.1.1 ASGPR Ligand Moieties An asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) ligand moiety is a moiety that binds to ASGPR (i.e., also referred to as an ASGPR binding moiety) and, via the ASGPR, facilitates internalization of the bifunctional molecule of which it is a part, plus any bound target molecule, e.g., autoantibody. The ASGPR ligand moieties of this disclosure can be connected via a linker to a polypeptide construct without impacting the specific binding to, or function of, the cell surface ASGPR. The lysosomal targeting bifunctional molecules of this disclosure which include one or more linked ASGPR ligand moieties can utilize the functions of cell surface ASGPRs in a biological system, e.g., for internalization and / or sequestration of autoantibody to the lysosome of a cell, and subsequent lysosomal degradation, e.g., in the methods of this disclosure. ASGPR, also known as the Ashwell Morell receptor, is a transmembrane glycoprotein receptor found primarily in hepatocytes which mediates the endocytosis and lysosomal degradation of glycoproteins with exposed terminal galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues. ASGPR Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO cycles between intracellular endosomes and the cell surface.

The term “prodrug” refers to an agent which is converted into the drug in vivo by some physiological or chemical process (e.g., a prodrug on being brought to the physiological pH is converted to the desired drug form). Prodrugs forms of any of the ASGPR ligand moieties described herein can be useful because, for example, can lead to particular therapeutic benefits as a consequence of an extension of the half-life of the resulting compound or conjugate in the body or a reduction in the active dose required. Prodrugs can also be useful in some situations, as they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmacological compositions over the parent drug. A prodrug derivative of a ASGPR ligand moiety generally includes a labile promoiety substituent at a suitable site of the moiety. The promoiety refers to the group that is removed by enzymatic or chemical reactions, when a prodrug is converted to the drug in vivo. In some embodiments, the promoiety is a group, such as an optionally substituted alkanoyl, attached via an ester linkage to a hydroxyl group of the moiety. In some embodiments, a prodrug derivative of one or more of the hydroxyl groups of the sugar ring of the ASGPR ligand moiety may be incorporated into the compounds. For example, an ester promoiety can be incorporated at one or more of the hydroxyl groups at the 3 and / or 4 positions of the core sugar ring (e.g., as described in Formula (II)). Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO In some embodiments, the hydroxyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions of the core sugar ring are cyclically linked to form a promoiety (e.g., as described herein). In some embodiments, the promoiety is the part of an ester group attached to a hydroxyl of X, such as -C(O)CH3, -C(O)CH(CH3)2, -C(O)C(CH3)3, or -CH2OC(O)C(CH3)3. In some embodiments, the promoiety is -CH2OC(O)C(CH3)3. In some embodiments, a promoiety cyclically links two adjacent hydroxyl groups via a carbonate linkage, i.e., a cyclic carbonate. 1.1.3 Linker The terms “linker,” “linking moiety,” and “linking group” are used interchangeably and refer to a linking moiety that covalently connects two or more moieties or compounds, such as ligands and other moieties of interest. In some cases, the linker is divalent and connects two moieties. In some embodiments, the linker is a branched linking group that is trivalent or of a higher multivalency.

A linking moiety may be a covalent bond that connects two groups or a linear or branched chain of between 1 and 500 atoms in length, for example of about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400 or 500 atoms in length, where the linker may be linear, branched, cyclic or a single atom. In some embodiments, one, two, three, four, five or more, ten or more, or even more carbon atoms of a linker backbone may be optionally substituted with heteroatoms, e.g., sulfur, nitrogen or oxygen heteroatom. In certain instances, when the linker includes a PEG group, every third atom of that segment of the linker backbone is substituted with an oxygen. The bonds between backbone atoms may be saturated or unsaturated, usually not more than one, two, or three unsaturated bonds will be present in a linker backbone. The linker may include one or more substituent groups, for example an alkyl, aryl or alkenyl group. A linker may include, without limitations, one or more of the following: oligo(ethylene glycol), ether, thioether, disulfide, amide, carbonate, carbamate, tertiary amine, alkyl which may be straight or branched, e.g., methyl, ethyl, n- propyl, 1-methylethyl (iso-propyl), n-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl (t-butyl), and the like. The linker backbone may include a cyclic group, for example, an aryl, a heterocycle, a cycloalkyl group or a heterocycle group, where 2 or more atoms, e.g., 2, 3, or 4 atoms, of the cyclic group are included in the backbone. In some embodiments, a “linker” or “linking moiety” is derived from a molecule with two reactive termini, one for conjugation to a moiety of interest (Y), e.g., a biomolecule (e.g., an antibody) and the other for conjugation to a moiety (noted as X) that binds to a ASGPR cell surface receptor.

Exemplary branched linkers and branched linking moieties Linker No Linker structure A chemoselective ligation group is a group having a reactive functionality or function group capable of conjugation to a compatible group of a second moiety. For example, chemoselective ligation groups (or a precursor thereof) may be one of a pair of groups associated with a conjugation chemistry such as azido-alkyne click chemistry, copper free click chemistry, Staudinger ligation, tetrazine ligation, hydrazine-iso-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) ligation, cysteine-reactive ligation chemistry (e.g., thiol-maleimide, thiol-haloacetamide or alkyne hydrothiolation), amine-active ester coupling, tyrosine specific conjugation chemistry (e.g., e-Y-CLICK), methionine specific conjugation chemistry (e.g., oxaziridine-based or ReACT chemistry), reductive amination, dialkyl squarate chemistry, etc. Chemoselective ligation groups that may be utilized in linking two moieties, include, but are not limited to, amino (e.g., a N-terminal amino or a lysine sidechain group of a polypeptide), azido, aryl Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO azide, alkynyl (e.g., ethynyl or cyclooctyne or derivative), active ester (e.g., N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester, sulfo-NHS ester or PFP ester or thioester), haloacetamide (e.g., iodoacetamide or bromoacetamide), chloroacetyl, bromoacetyl, hydrazide, maleimide, vinyl sulfone, 2-sulfonyl pyridine, cyano-alkyne, thiol (e.g., a cysteine residue), disulfide or protected thiol, isocyanate, isothiocyanate, aldehyde, ketone, alkoxyamine, hydrazide, aminooxy, phosphine, HIPS hydrazinyl-indolyl group, or aza- HIPS hydrazinyl-pyrrolo-pyridinyl group, tetrazine, cyclooctene, squarate, and the like. In some instances, chemoselective ligation group is capable of spontaneous conjugation to a compatible chemical group when the two groups come into contact under suitable conditions (e.g., copper free Click chemistry conditions). In some instances, the chemoselective ligation group is capable of conjugation to a compatible chemical group when the two groups come into contact in the presence of a catalyst or other reagent (e.g., copper catalyzed Click chemistry conditions). In some embodiments, the chemoselective ligation group is a photoactive ligation group. For example, upon irradiation with ultraviolet light, a diazirine group can form reactive carbenes, which can insert into C-H, N-H, and O-H bonds of a second moiety. In some instances, the terminal L moiety (e.g., the terminal L6) is a precursor of the reactive functionality or function group capable of conjugation to a compatible group of a second moiety. For example, a carboxylic acid is a precursor of an active ester chemoselective ligation group. In some embodiments, the terminal L moiety (e.g., the terminal L6) is a reactive moiety capable forming a covalent bond to a polypeptide (e.g., with an amino acid sidechain of a polypeptide having a compatible reactive group). The reactive moiety can be referred to as a chemoselective ligation group. In some embodiments, the terminal L moiety (e.g., the terminal L6) is a thio-reactive chemoselective ligation group (e.g., as described in Table 2). In some cases, Y can produce a residual moiety Z resulting from the covalent linkage of a thiol-reactive chemoselective ligation group to one or more cysteine residue(s) of a protein, e.g., B or Y. In some embodiments, the terminal L moiety (e.g., the terminal L6) is a Cys-reactive chemoselective ligation group (e.g., a maleimide derivative as described herein). In some cases, the Cys- reactive chemoselective ligation group includes a maleimide group. In some embodiments, the chemoselective ligation group includes a maleimide group, e.g., mal-1 to mal-7. In some embodiments, the terminal L moiety (e.g., the terminal L6) is an amino-reactive chemoselective ligation group. In some cases, the terminal L moiety (e.g., the terminal L6) can produce a residual moiety Z resulting from the covalent linkage of an amine-reactive chemoselective ligation group to one or more lysine residue(s) a protein, e.g., B or Y. Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO In some embodiments, the terminal L moiety (e.g., the terminal L6) is a Lys-reactive chemoselective ligation group. In some embodiments the Lys-reactive chemoselective ligation group is a PFP ester.

The extracellular domains (ECD) of the TSHR molecule contain the sites of binding (e.g., epitopes) of the disease-causing anti-TSHR autoantibodies (e.g., M22). In particular, the leucine-rich repeat domain (LRD) of TSHR can be considered antigens that contain the primary immunogenic or epitope-containing regions of the TSHR protein where anti-TSHR autoantibodies predominantly bind. In some embodiments, the TSHR polypeptide is an antigen that includes one or more epitope- containing domains, or antibody binding fragments thereof, of the full length TSHR protein.

Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO Table 5: Exemplary TSHR polypeptide sequences TSHR Sequence SEQ ID ol e tide NO: 1.1.5 Carrier Polypeptide A number of strategies, such as attachment of a carrier, for imparting desirable pharmacokinetic properties to a peptide or protein (e.g., avoidance of rapid renal clearance, and / or optimizing Fc receptor mediated recycling) can be adapted for use in the bifunctional molecules of this disclosure that contain a target binding the TSHR polypeptide. The TSHR polypeptide can be connected to a carrier polypeptide Y that imparts one or more desirable properties onto the resulting bifunctional molecule (e.g., increase in vivo stability and / or half- Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO life), and / or provides for conjugation sites to a ligand-linker moiety, e.g., without disrupting the autoantibody binding properties of the TSHR polypeptide. In some embodiments, the TSHR polypeptide is synthetically linked to a carrier polypeptide Y. In some embodiments of formula (I), the carrier polypeptide Y is conjugated to a TSHR polypeptide (B) via a bifunctional linker. In some embodiments, the TSHR polypeptide is linked to a carrier polypeptide Y as part of a protein construct, such as a chimeric fusion protein. In some embodiments, the TSHR polypeptide B and the carrier polypeptide Y are fused directly to each other, e.g., via N-terminal to C-terminal fusion, or C- terminal to N-terminal fusion. In some embodiments, the TSHR polypeptide B and the carrier polypeptide Y are fused indirectly via a spacer domain. In some embodiments, the Y-B of formula (I) is a chimeric protein having a polypeptide encoded by a nucleic acid molecule that encodes for both a TSHR polypeptide B and the carrier polypeptide Y. The carrier polypeptide (Y) can be a serum protein or domain of a serum protein. In some embodiments, the serum protein is an albumin. In some embodiments, the serum protein is an immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, the carrier polypeptide (Y) is an engineered serum protein or domain thereof. The carrier polypeptide (Y) can be prepared synthetically, or recombinantly. 1.1.5.1 Albumin The carrier polypeptide can be a serum albumin protein or domain or subdomain thereof, or fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the carrier polypeptide is human serum albumin (HSA). Albumins generally have a long plasma half-life (e.g., about 3 weeks) and can provide a scaffold to which bioactive molecules can be attached or fused. HSA has a long serum half-life in humans that is attributed in part to its interaction with neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). HSA (molecular mass 66.5 kDa) includes three structurally similar and flexible domains: I (residues 1-195), II (196-383) and III (384-585). Each domain (D) is composed of two subdomains A and B (e.g., DIA [5-105], DIB [119-195], DIIA [196-292], DIIB [314-383], DIIIA [384-491], DIIIB [510-582], e.g., as referenced to SEQ ID NO: 2 of WO2017 / 029407) with common structural motifs. In some embodiments, the carrier protein is an HSA variant having enhanced FcRn binding. FcRn binds to the C-terminal end of DIII of HSA and protects albumin from intracellular degradation. For instance, a single amino acid substitution within HSA DIII (K537P) shows 12-fold improved binding affinity to FcRn, which translates into longer half-life. Various amino acid residues of albumin located in Domain I or Domain II also affect HSA interaction with FcRn (e.g., WO 2013 / 135896 describes albumin Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO variants having one or more alterations in Domain I and one or more alterations in Domain III; WO 2015 / 036579 describes albumin variants having one or more alterations in Domain II). Any convenient albumin protein can be a parent for an albumin variant that can be utilized as a carrier polypeptide. As an example, human serum albumin (HSA) such as AAA98797, P02768-1, SEQ ID NO.15 (mature HSA), or SEQ ID NO.14 (precursor HSA).

In some embodiments, the albumin maintains at least one of the major properties of albumin or a similar tertiary structure as an albumin, such as HSA. A functional fragment of albumin may Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO have a sequence identity of at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91 %, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.2%, 99.4%, 99.6%, 99.8%, or 100% to the sequence of HSA Domain III as shown in SEQ ID NO: 8, or to the sequence of HSA Domain II and Domain III as shown in SEQ ID NO: 9, or to a molecule consisting of or comprising two copies of Domain III (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 10), or to a molecule consisting of or comprising three copies of Domain III (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 11), or to a molecule consisting of or comprising Domain I and two copies of Domain III (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 12).

Conjugation of molecules to the free thiol on cysteine-34 of HSA can provide site-selective conjugation. To increase loading potential, recombinant HSA (rHSA) variants can be engineered to contain additional free, conjugation-competent cysteines. The term “thio-albumin” is used to describe an albumin variant which comprises one or more (e.g. several) unpaired cysteine residues, particularly an albumin variant in which one or more (e.g. several) of the unpaired cysteine residues does not occur in a naturally occurring variant of an albumin. A thio-albumin refers to a conjugation-competent albumin. The rHSA variant can be a thio-albumin or a conjugation-competent albumin. The rHSA may have one or more free, conjugation-competent cysteines introduced in Domain I (DI), Domain II (DII), and / or Domain III (DIII). In some embodiments, the rHSA Attorney Ref: 92VF-350823-WO Client Ref: 021WO variant has at least one free, conjugation-competent cysteines introduced in DI or DII. In some embodiments, the rHSA variant has at least one free, conjugation-competent cysteine introduced in DI and DIII. In some embodiments, the rHSA variant has a conjugation site at Cys34 and at least one or more free, conjugation-competent cysteines introduced in DI, DII, and / or DIII. In some embodiments, the carrier polypeptide is an HSA variant engineered for increased stability, conjugation efficiency (Cys or Lys), and / or FcRn binding.

In some embodiments, at least one or more free, conjugation-competent cysteines is introduced at one or more positions corresponding to or equivalent to any of residues selected from C34, V54, H128, K240, and K262. In some embodiments, the carrier polypeptide is a rHSA variant that exhibits up to 95% monomeric stability and retains hFcRn engagement compared with a wildtype unconjugated control (e.g., as demonstrated by Biolayer Interferometry). In some embodiments, introduction of the free, conjugation- competent cysteines into the rHSA variant does not interfere with FcRn binding. In some embodiments, introduction of the free, conjugation-competent cysteines maintains the albumin half-life in circulating blood. 1.1.5.2 Immunoglobulin In some embodiments, the carrier polypeptide is an Fc fragment, a monomer, a dimer, a domain, or fragments thereof. Fc fragments contain the CH2 and CH3 domains and part of the hinge region held together by one or more disulfides and noncovalent interactions.
