REFERENCE TO A LISTING OF XML SEQUENCES
[002] This request contains a Sequence Listing that was sent electronically in XML format. The XML Sequence Listing is incorporated herein for reference. The XML file, created on February 28, 2024, is named UXB023-06WO_SL.xml and is 2,280,142 bytes in size. TECHNICAL FIELD OF DISSEMINATION
[003] This disclosure refers to human FGF23-binding antibodies with improved affinity and efficacy compared to burosumab. BACKGROUND
[004] Burosumab (i.e., burosumab-twza, marketed as CRYSVITA®) is a fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) blocking antibody indicated for the treatment of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) in adult and pediatric patients 6 months of age and older and for the treatment of adults and children 2 years of age and older with FGF23-related hypophosphatemia in osteomalacia-induced neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, p. 6 / 177 / 140 for tumor-specific immunoglobulin (TIO) when the tumor cannot be located or removed. Burosumab is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody of the IgG1K type. Burosumab consists of 4 polypeptide chains (2 identical heavy chains, 447 amino acids each and 2 identical light chains, 213 amino acids each) and has a molecular weight of 147 kDa. Burosumab specifically binds to FGF23 and blocks its interaction with the Klotho-FGF receptor complex.
[005] FGF23 is a natural cytokine involved in phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. Excessive levels of circulating FGF23 can lead to increased urinary phosphate excretion, reduced vitamin D synthesis, and subsequent hypophosphatemia, resulting in defective bone mineralization and impacts on other tissues, including muscles. Burosumab binds to FGF23 and inhibits its ability to bind to fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and the Klotho coreceptor. This inhibition restores tubular reabsorption of phosphate from the kidney and increases vitamin D production, which improves intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. These combined actions improve serum phosphorus levels and bone mineralization.
[006] Burosumab administration in pediatric patients is performed by subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks (Q2W), representing a significant treatment burden. Furthermore, both adult and pediatric patients must undergo high-volume burosumab injections, with a maximum of up to 3 ml administered in three separate 1 ml injections (see, for example, burosumab-twza prescribing information, available at www.accessdata.fda.gov / scripts / cder / daf / index.cfm). Consequently, there is a need for human FGF23-binding antibodies with improved affinity and efficacy compared to burosumab. SUMMARY

[0076] This disclosure provides human FGF23-binding antibodies with higher affinity for human FGF23 compared to burosumab. The antibodies in this disclosure may allow for reduced dosing frequency, greater patient convenience and adherence, and improved potency compared to burosumab, while maintaining an acceptable toxicity and safety profile. To improve the affinity of burosumab for human FGF23, antibody variants have been rationally designed to have higher binding affinity for human FGF23 compared to burosumab. I. Definitions
[0077] Throughout this descriptive report, numerical intervals are provided for certain quantities. It should be understood that these intervals comprise endpoints and all subintervals contained therein, including every integer within and between a given interval. Thus, the interval “from 50 to 80” includes all possible intervals contained within it (e.g., 51-79, 52-78, 53-77, 54-76, 55-75, 60-70, etc.), as well as each individual integer from 50 to 80 (e.g., 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, etc.). When intervals are provided in the form of fractions, percentages, Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 25 / 177 / 140 decimals and similar, such intervals also include all possible subintervals and each individual fraction, percentage, decimal, etc. within and between the disclosed interval. For example, the interval “from 0.1 to 1.0” includes all possible intervals contained within it (e.g., 0.2 to 0.9, etc.) and each individual 1 / 10 decimal tenth of 0.1 to 1.0 (e.g., 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, etc.). Furthermore, all values within a given interval may be an endpoint for the interval covered by it (e.g., the interval 50-80 includes intervals with endpoints such as 55-80, 50-75, etc.).
[0078] The term “an” refers to one or more of these entities; for example, “an androgen receptor modulator” refers to one or more androgen receptor modulators or to at least one androgen receptor modulator. Thus, the terms an, one or more, and at least one are used interchangeably in this document. Furthermore, the reference to “an inhibitor” by the indefinite article “an” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the inhibitors is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be one and only one of the inhibitors.
[0079] The term “affinity” (or “binding affinity”) refers to the binding strength of a molecule or complex of molecules to a binding partner, such as a ligand, an epitope, or an antigen. Affinity can be expressed in terms of the dissociation constant (KD), which describes the rate of dissociation of a molecule or complex and its binding partner at equilibrium. KD can be expressed as a ratio between the association rate constant (kativa) and the dissociation rate constant (kinativa) of a ligand, or KD = kinativa / kativa. With respect to antibody / antigen binding affinities, the rate of formation of the antibody / antigen complex at equilibrium is equal to the rate of dissociation of the complex into the unbound antibody and the antigen, and the antibody affinity can be expressed as 1 / KD, so that lower KD values reflect a higher affinity of the antibody for its target antigen. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, p. 26 / 177 / 140 Methods for determining binding affinity are known and include, for example, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) approaches and surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based approaches.
[0080] The term “Antibody Structural Numbering System” or “ASN#” as used herein refers to a numbering scheme for the structural alignment and classification of complete antibody sequences and antibody-like structures. A description of the ASN# system is provided at www.just-evotecbiologics.com / white-papers-applicationnotes / coreab-sequence-classification / (last accessed July 5, 2023; incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The ASN# system is based on and substantially identical to the Honegger numbering scheme, namely the “AHo” numbering scheme (see, for example, Honegger, Annemarie and Andreas PluÈckthun. Yet another numbering scheme for immunoglobulin variable domains: an automatic modeling and analysis tool. Journal of molecular biology 309.3 (2001): 657-670; incorporated here by reference in its entirety), which “numbers the variable domains of the immunoglobulin superfamily in a homogenized format...”based on structural alignments of the 3D structures of the variable regions of immunoglobulins covering the observed length variation” (Dondelinger, Mathieu, et al. Understanding the significance and implications of antibody numbering and antigen-binding surface / residue definition. Frontiers in immunology 9 (2018): 2278).
[0081] The verb “to include”, as used in this description and in the claims and their conjugations, is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that the items that follow the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.
[0082] The term “treat” or “treatment” refers to one or more of the following: attenuating, relieving, delaying, reducing, improving, or controlling at least one symptom of a condition in a subject. Treat can also mean Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, p. 27 / 177 / 140 one or more actions: interrupt, delay the onset (i.e., the period prior to the clinical manifestation of the condition) or reduce the risk of developing or worsening a condition.
[0083] The term “subject” may refer to a human being, non-human primate, mammal, rat, mouse, cow, horse, pig, sheep, goat, dog, cat, and the like. The subject may be suspected of having or be at risk of having a hypophosphatemic condition, such as XLH or TIO, or may be diagnosed with a hypophosphatemic condition, such as XLH or TIO.
[0084] This disclosure includes information that may be useful for understanding the subject matter currently disclosed. It is not an admission that any of the information provided in this document is prior art or relevant to the inventions currently claimed, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art. II. Overview
[0085] Burosumab therapy effectively improves the clinical symptoms of hypophosphatemia. Several clinical trials have established burosumab as a safe and effective therapy for adults and children with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) (Schindeler et al. Clinical evidence for the benefits of burosumab therapy for X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and other conditions in adults and children. Frontiers in Endocrinology 11 (2020): 338.). Additional studies have confirmed the safe and effective treatment of tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) with burosumab (Jan de Beur, et al. Burosumab for the treatment of tumor-induced osteomalacia. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 36.4 (2021): 627-635.).
[0086] However, treatment with burosumab only returns serum phosphorus levels to 3.3 mg / dL after 64 weeks, which is close to the lower limit of 3.2 mg / dL of normal levels observed in populations. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 28 / 177 / 140 healthy individuals (see, for example, Section 12, Figure 1 and Figure 2 of the Singapore Health Sciences Authority's Summary Risk-Benefit Assessment Report in conjunction with a New Medicinal Product Application for Crysvita, available at www.hsa.gov.sg / docs / default-source / hprgtpb / summary-reports / crysvita_summary-report_2021.pdf). Furthermore, treatment with burosumab requires subcutaneous injection every 2 weeks (Q2W) in pediatric patients, and both adult and pediatric patients must receive high volumes of burosumab injection, with a maximum of up to 3 ml administered in three separate 1 ml injections, representing a significant treatment burden for patients.
[0087] Therefore, the present description provides human FGF23-binding antibodies with improved binding affinity to human FGF23 compared to burosumab. The improved binding affinity of burosumab is considered to increase antibody potency, reduce the amount of bioavailable FGF23 in serum, and allow for reductions in dosage amounts and / or dosing frequency, thus decreasing the treatment burden for patients requiring human FGF23-binding antibody therapy, without significantly affecting the safety profile of the therapy.
[0088] Burosumab is believed to bind to intact human FGF23 with high affinity. However, different assays to measure the affinity of burosumab using different source materials have yielded different values. For example, the European Medicines Agency's Assessment Report for Crysvita states: “In a competitive binding study, Biacore [burosumab] demonstrated binding with similar binding affinity (KD~10-11 M) to human, cynomolgus monkey and rabbit FGF23” (see Assessment Report: Crysvita, 14 December 2017 (EMA / 148319 / 2018), available at www.ema.europa.eu / en / documents / assessment-report / crysvita-epar-public- Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, p. 29 / 177 / 140 assessment-report_en.pdf). Studies by the present inventors used a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) approach to determine the affinity of burosumab using recombinant human FGF23 (R179Q) from HEK293S cell supernatant and burosumab manufactured using CHO cells and found an estimated binding affinity (KD) on the order of approximately U10-11a 3*10-11 (data not shown). Yamazaki et al. They reported an affinity of 4.7*10-11 for FN1, a mouse anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody described by the authors as binding to human FGF23 in a manner similar to burosumab (Yamazaki, Yuji, et al. AntiFGF23 neutralizing antibodies show the physiological role and structural features of FGF23. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 23.9 (2008): 1509-1518.). Another group used ELISA to determine the affinity of burosumab using recombinant human FGF23 expressed in E.Coli and burosumab expressed in HEK293 cells and found an estimated binding affinity of approximately 0.5*10-9 or 0.77*10-9 (Kanhasut, et al. “Prediction of the structural interface between fibroblast growth factor 23 and burosumab using alanine scanning and molecular docking”. May 16, 2022, PREPRINT (Version 1) available on Research Square [doi.org / 10.21203 / rs.3.rs-1630525 / v1]). The disparate results of studies evaluating the affinity of burosumab highlight the need for a comprehensive study of the binding kinetics of this monoclonal antibody to human FGF23.
[0089] Kanhasut et al. further investigated approaches to improve the binding affinity of burosumab to FGF23. Using alanine scan and molecular docking data to model the interaction between a homology-modeled burosumab and an FGF23 crystal structure, the authors identified four amino acid alterations in the variable domain of the burosumab light chain (VL) that were predicted to increase interactions with the epitope: A32S, S52D, S67Y, and T69D (scheme of Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 30 / 177 / 140 (Kabat numbering). Based on the original alanine scan data, the authors also questioned a fifth alteration, V97A (Kabat numbering scheme) in the variable domain of the heavy chain (VH). This study provided data supporting an approximate 3-fold increase in FGF23 binding affinity of Kd=0.21x10⁹ in a burosumab variant antibody with amino acid alterations VH:V97A (i.e., V101A by the linear numbering scheme) and VL:A32S (i.e., A32S by both Kabat and linear numbering schemes).
[0090] The study by Kanhasut et al., however, has several shortcomings that call into question the validity and biological significance of its conclusions. For example, Kanhasut et al. employed FGF23 expressed in E. coli cells, meaning that the antigenic protein was not glycosylated in a form similar to that which would be found in a mammalian cell-based system. Furthermore, for the determination of Kd, Kanhasut et al. used an ELISA titration approach, which is recognized as highly variable and not the most precise assay for affinity measurement. Inconsistencies in the Kd of burosumab reported in Kanhasut et al. belie the high degree of variability in the assay and call into question the ultimate precision and significance of the study. Finally, the structural evaluation of the burosumab:FGF23 complex described here suggests that the epitope residues identified by Kanhasut et al. do not agree with the epitope residues identified in the crystal structure.In fact, the present inventors conducted a surface plasmon resonance analysis of the amino acid substitutions VH:V97A and VL:A32S (i.e., heavy chain V101A and light chain A32S according to the linear numbering scheme, respectively) and demonstrated that these changes impair rather than improve the affinity of burosumab (data not shown).
[0091] These and other studies reveal that a more definitive investigation of the binding kinetics of burosumab, including the determination of Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 31 / 177 / 140 The Kd of burosumab binding to human FGF23 and precise epitope mapping are needed, along with novel approaches to improve burosumab binding affinity. It is important to emphasize that when designing antibodies with improved binding affinity compared to burosumab, it is essential to adjust the affinity to human FGF23 so that potency is improved without compromising safety. For example, increasing affinity too much may result in reductions in serum FGF23 concentrations in individuals, leading to unsafe serum phosphorus levels and symptoms of hyperphosphatemia. Conversely, very small improvements in affinity may not provide clinical benefit compared to burosumab treatment. Consequently, rationally designed anti-human FGF23 antibodies with adjusted binding affinity are needed to increase potency without leading to unsafe serum phosphorus levels or clinical symptoms of hyperphosphatemia.
[0092] This disclosure provides rationally engineered human FGF23-binding antibodies with higher affinity to human FGF23 compared to burosumab.The rational design of the human FGF23-binding antibodies described herein may involve, for example, crystallographic analysis of the burosumab-human FGF23 interaction and / or in silico modeling involving any of the following: conformational sampling using molecular dynamics and selection of a set of target conformational states representing docking templates; generation of a homology model of the leader antibody(ies) and energy minimization by selecting likely conformational states; guided molecular docking of leader antibody templates to the FGF23 structure (e.g., epitope selected based on HDX data); paratope and epitope determinations based on docking results; evaluation and classification of antigen-antibody binding interactions (e.g., 1st layer paratope:epitope and 2nd layer); comparison with recently published results describing the... Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 32 / 177 / 140 burosumab:FGF23 binding (Kanhasut et al., Nature (2022) 12:14754); assessment of any additional changes needed (e.g., stability, development capability); and / or assessment of post-translational modifications and associated remediations. From these studies, single or multiple amino acid changes can be introduced into the burosumab main sequence and analyzed for binding properties. Variant antibody designs can be screened to identify burosumab variants with improved binding properties.
[0093] Thus, the present disclosure provides human FGF23-binding antibodies with higher affinity for human FGF23 compared to burosumab, allowing for less frequent dosing, greater convenience and patient adherence, and better potency compared to burosumab, while maintaining an acceptable toxicity and safety profile.
[0094] To improve the affinity of burosumab for human FGF23, antibody variants were designed to have a higher binding affinity for human FGF23 compared to burosumab.

[00165] The burosumab heavy chain has a C-terminal lysine residue. C-terminal lysine residues of antibody heavy chains are known to be frequently cleaved during bioproduction by carboxypeptidases present in cell culture or cell culture media. This phenomenon can give rise to varying amounts of process-related charge variants and non-homogeneous antibody preparations, thus complicating efforts to manufacture homogeneous, safe, and effective batches of antibodies (see, for example, Faid et al., Eur J Pharm Sci., 2021 Apr 1:159:105730). Consequently, in some embodiments, the antibody variants described herein are modified to remove the C-terminal lysine residue from the heavy chain.That is, any heavy chain antibody sequence provided herein, including the parental burosumab heavy chain sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1), can be further modified to remove the C-terminal lysine residue (SEQ ID NO: 371). Thus, all variant heavy chain variable region (VH) sequences described in this application are contemplated for incorporation into full-length heavy chain sequences with or without the C-terminal lysine residue.

[00171] The antibodies in this disclosure can be administered in accordance with the indicated uses of burosumab.
[00172] In some embodiments, the antibodies or their pharmaceutical formulations of this disclosure may be administered at a therapeutically effective dose. A therapeutically effective dose may be an amount of an agent or formulation that is sufficient to cause a therapeutic effect in a subject to whom the therapeutically effective dose has been administered.
[00173] Therapeutically effective doses of human FGF23-binding antibodies provided herein, or pharmaceutical formulations thereof, decrease serum FGF23 in individuals; increase the maximum renal threshold for phosphate reabsorption (TmP) in individuals; increase serum inorganic phosphorus (Pi) in individuals; increase serum concentration of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D) in individuals; and / or are useful for treating hypophosphatemic conditions in individuals, including XLH or osteomalacia.
[00174] A therapeutically effective dose may be administered in one or more separate administrations and by different routes. As will be appreciated in the technique, a therapeutically effective dose or quantity Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 56 / 177 / 140. Therapeutically effective is largely determined based on the total amount of the therapeutic agent contained in the pharmaceutical formulation. Generally, a therapeutically effective amount is sufficient to achieve a significant benefit for the subject (e.g., to treat, modulate, cure, prevent, and / or improve conditions related to hypophosphatemia). For example, a therapeutically effective amount may be an amount sufficient to achieve a desired therapeutic and / or prophylactic effect. Generally, the amount of a therapeutic agent (e.g., disseminating antibodies or functionally active fragments thereof) administered to a subject in need thereof will depend on the subject's characteristics. These characteristics include the subject's condition, disease severity, general health, age, sex, and body weight.A person with average skill in the technique will be able to quickly determine the appropriate doses depending on these and other related factors. Furthermore, both objective and subjective assays can optionally be employed to identify ideal dosage ranges.
[00175] The methods provided herein contemplate single and multiple administrations of a therapeutically effective amount of the human FGF23-binding antibodies and their pharmaceutical formulations described herein. Pharmaceutical formulations comprising human FGF23-binding antibodies may be administered at regular intervals depending on the nature, severity, and extent of the subject's condition (e.g., the severity of a subject's disease state and associated symptoms of hypophosphatemia). In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of the human FGF23-binding antibodies and their pharmaceutical formulations of this disclosure may be administered periodically at regular intervals (e.g., once a year, once every six months, once every four months, once every three months, once every two months, once a month), once every 4 months, once every six months, once every four months, once every three months, once every two months, once a month, once every four months, once every four months, once a month, once every four months, once every four months, once a month, once every four months, once every six months, once every four months, once a month, once every four months, once every six months, once every four months, once a month, once every four months, once every six months, once every four months, once a month, once every four months, once every six months, once every four months, once a month, once every four months, once every six months, once every six months, once every three months, once every three months, once a month, once every four months, once every three months, once every three months, once every three months, once every three months, once a month, once every four months, once every four months, once a month, once every four months, once every six ... three months, once every three months, once every three months, once every three months, once every three months, once a month, once every four months, once every three months, once every three months, Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, p. 57 / 177 / 140 weeks, once every 3 weeks, once every two weeks, weekly, daily, twice a day, three times a day, four times a day, five times a day, six times a day, or continuously.

Example 1. Antibody Structural Numbering System (ASN#)
[00186] Several numbering schemes are used to describe antibody amino acid sequences, including linear numbering, Kabat numbering, Chothia numbering, and antibody structural numbering systems (ASN#). The antibody residues described here are presented according to the ASN# system and / or the linear numbering system. To facilitate conversion between these numbering schemes, Table 1 shows the amino acid sequence of the parent burosumab light chain with linear, Kabat, and ASN# systems, and Table 2 shows the amino acid sequence of the parent burosumab heavy chain with linear, Kabat, and ASN# systems. In Table 1 and Table 2, the “Residue” columns show the amino acid residue of the burosumab light chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 and the burosumab heavy chain sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, respectively. In the “Kabat #” columns, the designation “L” refers to the light chain and the designation “H” refers to the heavy chain. In the columns “ASN #”, “KV” Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, p. 61 / 177 / 140 refers to the variable region of the light chain, “KCnst-Ig” refers to the constant region of the light chain, “HV” refers to the variable region of the heavy chain, “HCnst-Ig” refers to the constant region of the heavy chain, “Fc-N” refers to the CH2 region of Fc, “Fc-C” refers to the CH3 region of Fc, “HCnst-Po” refers to residues potentially attributable to the constant region of the heavy chain, and “Hinge” refers to residues of the hinge region.

[00187] Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) measures the solvent exchange rate, that is, the phenomenon by which atoms that make up the solvent with a heavier hydrogen isotope are exchanged for protein atoms within the amide bonds of the main structure. This approach allows determining the solvent absorption by proteins by exposing the proteins to a deuterated solvent for a period of time. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 75 / 177 / 140, defined, extinguishing the solvent exchange reaction and then measuring the increase in protein mass by mass spectrometry. Typically, a ligand binding event results in a localized reduction in deuteration uptake at the ligand interaction site, allowing approximate mapping of regions involved, for example, in antibody / target epitope and paratope interactions.
[00188] In an attempt to map burosumab epitopes to human FGF23, HDX-MS was performed using FGF23 (R179Q) produced in HEK293S cells. Burosumab was produced in CHO cells (while FGF23-binding antibodies designed in later examples were expressed in HEK293S cells). Antigen-antibody complexes were formed by combining burosumab and FGF23 (R179Q) in solution and then diluted 1:10 in ice-cold deuterated assay buffer for 60 seconds, 600 seconds, 1800 seconds, or 3600 seconds. Briefly, the HDX-MS assay used PBS at pH 7.4 as assay buffer. Extinguishing buffer with 1 M glycine, 4 M guanidine HCl, and 400 mM TCEP at pH 2.5 was used. 100 pmol were injected in duplicate in a 1:1 ratio of assay buffer to quenching buffer. The antigen concentration during labeling was 1.5 μM and the antibody concentration during labeling was 1 μM.The deuteration reaction was quenched using a 1:1 addition of quenching buffer (pH 2.5), and the solution was subsequently loaded onto a liquid chromatography (LC) column for in-column proteolytic digestion, followed by LC separation and mass spectrometry.
[00189] The HDX-MS results are shown in Figure 1. The geometric y-axis shows the % deuteration (% D), that is, the peptide length-normalized difference in deuteration between unbound FGF23 and antibody-bound FGF23. Values less than zero (0) reflect decreased deuteration, i.e., protection against the deuteration reaction by antibody-antigen binding. Values greater than zero (0) reflect Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 76 / 177 / 140 increased deuteration, i.e., exposure to the deuteration reaction. The geometric x-axis shows FGF23 amino acid residues 1-251. The colored horizontal bars represent the deuterium labeling time point for each identified peptide (black = 60 s, blue = 600 s, orange = 1800 s, magenta = 3600 s). The C-terminal region of FGF23 is not represented due to lack of sequence coverage for the region comprising approximately amino acid residues 158 to 251. Endogenous glycosylation in this region of the protein is believed to prevent accurate measurement of deuterium exchange in the present assay. Repeated samples after enzymatic deglycosylation of FGF23 support this hypothesis (data not shown).Overall, three regions of strong protection (red boxes) were identified where the % of deuteration was low and / or the labeling time points were relatively short (protected region 1, protected region 2, and protected region 3). Protected region 1 (Y43 to Y70) had the weakest protection of the three strong protection regions. Protected region 2 (A80 to R92) had stronger protection than protected region 1. Protected region 3 (L135 to F157) had the strongest protection of the three.
[00190] Based on HDX-MS data, protected regions 1-3 in FGF23 were hypothesized to be involved in antibody binding or to be protected due to conformational change in the presence of antibodies.
[00191] These three protected regions were mapped to an FGF23 (R179Q) crystal structure (the “2P39” structure; see Goetz et al. “Molecular insights into the klotho-dependent, endocrine mode of action of fibroblast growth factor 19 subfamily members” Mol Cell Biol (2007) 27 p.3417-28) to visualize regions with probable antibody binding interaction. Figure 2 shows the 23P9 crystal structure of FGF23 with protected regions defined according to the HDX-MS analysis results: amino acids ~43 to ~70 (protected region 1) in purple, amino acids ~80 to ~92 Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 77 / 177 / 140 (protected region 2) in green and amino acids ~135 to ~157 (protected region 3) in red.
[00192] In summary, HDX-MS identified three FGF23 (R179Q) regions that are protected in the presence of burosumab, shown in Table 3: Table 3. Protected regions of FGF23 by HDX-MS FGF23 (R179Q) Amino acid position (relative to SEQ ID NO: 17 or 18) Amino acid sequence Amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO Protected region 1 43-70 YTATARNSYHLQIHKNGHVDGAPHQTIY 19 Protected region 2 80-92 AGFVVITGVMSRR 20 Protected region 3 135-157 LVSLGRAKRAFLPGMNPPPYSQF 21
[00193] HDX-MS data suggest that the strongest protected regions (2 and 3) represent a possible burosumab epitope in the vicinity of FGF23 residues 82 to 90 and 136 to 140 (R179Q). In protected region 3, residues L135, V136, S137, L138, G139, R140 and A141 represent the strongest protected area and therefore may be among the most important residues involved in the FGF23-burosumab interaction.
[00194] Comparing these findings with previous efforts to map burosumab epitopes in human FGF23, it was observed that protected region 1 encompasses residues of FN1 epitope 1 and FN1 epitope 2 identified by Yamazaki et al. Anti-FGF23 neutralizing antibodies show the physiological role and structural features of FGF23. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 23.9 (2008): 1509-1518. However, FN1 epitope 3 and FN1 epitope 4 lie outside protected regions 1, protected region 2, and protected region 3 identified in the present study, suggesting that the FN1 antibody previously characterized by Yamazaki et al. recognizes a different face in FGF23 compared to burosumab. Furthermore, Kanhasut et al. In 2022, epitopes were identified that broadly correspond to those previously described by Yamazaki et al., demonstrating Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 78 / 177 / 140 further highlights the importance of the present comprehensive study in which the hFGF23:burosumab binding surface was definitively defined by crystallographic analyses and supported by HDX-MS. Example 3: Human FGF23-burosumab paratope mapping
[00195] Burosumab paratope residues / regions for human FGF23 binding were interrogated using HDX-MS in a manner similar to the FGF23 epitope mapping described in Example 2. FGF23 (R179Q) was produced in HEK293S cells. Burosumab was produced in CHO cells (while FGF23-binding antibodies designed in later examples were expressed in HEK293S cells). Antigen-antibody complexes were formed by combining burosumab and FGF23 (R179Q) in solution and then diluting 1:10 in ice-cold deuterated assay buffer for 60 seconds, 600 seconds, 1800 seconds, or 3600 seconds. The deuteration reaction was quenched using a 1:1 addition of quenching buffer (pH 2.5), and the solution was subsequently loaded onto a liquid chromatography (LC) column for in-column proteolytic digestion, followed by LC separation and mass spectrometry.
[00196] In summary, the HDX-MS assay used PBS at pH 7.4 as the assay buffer. A quenching buffer with 1 M glycine, 4 M guanidine HCl, and 400 mM TCEP at pH 2.5 was used. 100 pmol were injected in duplicate at a 1:1 ratio of assay buffer to quenching buffer. Labeling (deuteration) was performed for 15 seconds, 60 seconds, 600 seconds, and 3600 seconds. The antigen concentration during labeling was 1.5 μM and the antibody concentration during labeling was 1 μM.
[00197] The HDX-MS results are shown in Figure 3. The geometric y-axis shows the % deuteration (% D), that is, the peptide length-normalized difference in deuteration between the unbound antibody and the antibody bound to FGF23. Values less than 0 reflect Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 79 / 177 / 140 decrease in deuteration, i.e., protection against the deuteration reaction by antibody-antigen binding. Values greater than 0 reflect increased deuteration, i.e., exposure to the deuteration reaction. The x-axis shows the amino acid residues of burosumab (light chain on the left and heavy chain on the right, separated by a vertical bar). The colored horizontal bars represent the deuterium labeling time point for each identified peptide (black = 15 s, blue = 60 s, orange = 600 s, magenta = 3600 s).
[00198] Burosumab antibody protection was observed and considered to represent conformational protection of the protected regions against deuteration and / or antigen binding (FGF23). In particular, the following regions in the burosumab light and heavy chain sequences shown in Table 4 were identified as exhibiting reduced deuteration by HDX-MS. Table 4. Burosumab Paratope Positions by HDX-MS Burosumab Amino acid position (relative to SEQ ID NO: 1) Amino acid sequence Amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO Heavy chain paratope region 1 24-35 ASGYTFTNHYMH 5 Heavy chain paratope region 2 49-69 GIINPISGSTSNAQKFQGRVT 6 Heavy chain paratope region 3 148-163 DYFPEPVTVSWNSGAL 7 Burosumab Amino acid position (relative to SEQ ID NO: 2) Amino acid sequence Amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO Light chain paratope region 1 23-33 CRASQGISSAL 8 Light chain paratope region 2 50-70 DASSLESGVPSRFSGSGSGTD 9 Light chain paratope region 3 103-122 VDIKRTVAAPSVFIFPPSDE 10
[00199] Among them, region 1 of the heavy chain paratop of burosumab (SEQ ID NO: 5) and region 1 of the light chain paratop (SEQ ID NO: 8) were considered to be involved in antigen binding. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 80 / 177 / 140 Example 4: Molecular fit to assess the burosumab-FGF23 interaction
[00200] Protein-protein fit was used to predict the three-dimensional structure of the burosumab-FGF23 complex and to identify antibody-antigen interaction surfaces and residues involved in binding. Even without a crystal structure of the Fab-antigen complex, computational fit was used to gain insights into the interaction of the burosumab Fab fragment and FGF23 structures.
[00201] A crystal structure of FGF23 in complex with sucrose octasulfate is available (“2P39”; see Goetz et al. “Molecular insights into the klotho-dependent, endocrine mode of action of fibroblast growth factor 19 subfamily members” Mol Cell Biol (2007) 27 p.3417-28, incorporated here by reference). In addition, a crystal structure of the ternary complex FGF23-FGFR1c-aKlotho is also available (“5W21”; see Chen et al. “alpha-Klotho is a non-enzymatic molecular scaffold for FGF23 hormone signaling” (2018) Nature 553: 461-466, incorporated here by reference). These available crystal structures were used to perform molecular docking studies of human FGF23 with the known crystal structure of burosumab Fab (“7VEN”; Heo, YS “Structure of burosumab Fab” DOI: 10.2210 / pdb7ven / pdb; released September 14, 2022, incorporated herein by reference).The 2P39 FGF23 crystal structure and the 7VEN burosumab crystal structure were used for fitting studies here.
[00202] In summary, protein-protein docking was performed using the FFT-based search algorithm implemented in Molecular Operating Environment “MOE” (2022.02). After molecule preparation (i.e., minimization, geometry, protonation, encapsulation), all docking studies were initially performed with antibody and antigen molecules treated as rigid bodies. Conformational sampling of individual loops in the FGF23 antigen that are expected to be more flexible was Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 81 / 177 / 140, performed using LowModeMD and regular MD. The models were first rendered in a coarse-grained (CG) residue-based representation, in which each residue is composed of one to three spheres of bonded atoms, following the scheme proposed by Basdevant et al (doi: 10.1021 / jp0727190). The CG representation includes the following energy components: van der Waals, electrostatic, and solvation via the Generalized Born Volume Integral (GB / VI) formalism.
[00203] In the docking process, the antibody was considered as the ligand and the FGF23 antigen as the receptor. The system was biased on the paratope side to consider the burosumab CDRs defined by Kabat as the main interaction sites; that is, heavy and light chain CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 with sequences established at SEQ ID NO: 11, SEQ ID NO: 12, and SEQ ID NO: 13 (HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, respectively) and SEQ ID NO: 14, SEQ ID NO: 15, and SEQ ID NO: 16 (LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, respectively). In other words, the restricted ligand sites were fixed to the burosumab CDRs, while the epitopes were considered as a whole (i.e., unbiased) or specifically selected based on HDX data. The potential of the hydrophobic patch was utilized throughout the search and refinement process. For pose selection, the threshold for maintaining a pose as valid was set to 10000 for pre-positioning, 1000 for positioning, and 100 for refinement.
[00204] For fitting purposes, epitopes were selected based on empirical HDX-MS data (Example 2 and Example 3 here) in combination with (i) comparative analysis of interspecies reactivity studies using burosumab and FGF23 from different species, (ii) kinetic studies using sandwich SPR analysis of different mutational variants of burosumab (Yamazaki et al., 2008), and / or (iii) patch analysis to assess the alignment of hydrophobic and polar surfaces of FGF23 and burosumab. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 82 / 177 / 140, which impact linking interactions.
[00205] With regard to the comparative analysis of burosumab binding between different species, it was observed that burosumab exhibits “high binding affinity similar (Kd 10-11 mol / l) to human, cynomolgus monkey and rabbit FGF23 (Study r-12-0326)” and cross-reactivity “with recombinant forms of monkey and human FGF23, but not mouse FGF23 (Study r-13-0026) and with plasma FGF23 from humans and monkeys, but not from dogs or rats (Study r-13-0027)” (See the Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research, Application Number 761068Orig1s000, Application for Multidisciplinary Review License for Biologics 761068, available at www.accessdata.fda.gov / drugsatfda_docs / nda / 2018 / 761068Orig1s000Multidi sciplineR.pdf).Thus, FGF23 amino acid sequences from humans, cynomolgus monkeys, rabbits, dogs, and rats were aligned and overlaid with HDX-MS data to identify potential residues or epitope regions consistent between cross-reacting burosumab species, but not necessarily consistent with non-cross-reacting species.
[00206] The results of these various analyses were used to guide different biasing conditions in five separate docking studies (all based on FFT and all biased toward the antigen side) to generate diversity of poses and antigen-antibody contacts: Search #1: Impartial
[00207] Research #2: biased using each HDX protected region 1, protected region 2, or protected region 3 considered separately
[00208] Research #3: biased using all HDX protected regions (1, 2, and 3) together
[00209] Research #4: biased using epitopes described in Yamazaki et al., 2008
[00210] Research #5: biased using a shared epitope Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 83 / 177 / 140 between the protected regions of HDX 1, 2 and 3 and Yamazaki et al., 2008
[00211] Each research run resulted in five different clusters, all of which were examined in more detail for validation against energetic and empirical data (e.g., mutational data). The main requirement for a pose to be considered a valid match was approximately 30% to 40% correlation with available HDX data, i.e., at least about 30% to about 40% (based on contacts within a 4.5 Angstrom sphere) of the total number of residues in the three epitopes suggested by HDX had to engage in at least one contact with any residue of the burosumab CDRs. Unbiased matching resulted in clusters with low overall correlation with HDX data and mouse antibody-bound epitopes found by Yamazaki et al. (doi:10.1359 / JBMR.080417).Biased runs were more successful in this regard, with the best match (i.e., highest correlation with HDX data) resulting from a biased run on the antigen side with the reported mouse Ab epitope in Yamazaki et al. (i.e., Search #4). Two poses were selected as leads based on the criteria defined above: FGF23:AbPose-1 (1st-preferred.moe) and FGF23:Ab-Pose-2 (2nd-preferred.moe). Several additional poses from dockings 3, 4, and 5 were subsequently evaluated.
[00212] Valid poses of all dockings were examined to identify common paratopes. The information was combined with learnings from epitope and paratopes mapping studies described in Example 2 and Example 3. Overall, 18 burosumab heavy chain residues and 18 burosumab light chain residues were identified as potential common paratopes. The energetics of antigen-antibody contacts at these poses were evaluated for all poses. A summary of the modeling and docking runs is provided in Table 5.

Predictive mutagenesis of burosumab based on molecular fit, HDX-MS protection mapping, and comparative mutation analysis.
[00213] Mutational variants of burosumab were engineered using predictive mutagenesis performed at common burosumab interaction positions in 5 mean clusters. Common paratope positions (18 burosumab VH residues and 18 burosumab VL residues) were targets of predictive mutagenesis, taking into account valid poses from all docking searches that involved at least about 60% of HDX epitope residues. Mutational positions and variants were assessed based on energy calculations and MM-based mutations and rotameric (extended) optimization within 4.5 angstroms of a mutation site.
[00214] The initial 1X scan using predictive mutagenesis resulted Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 85 / 177 / 140, concerning 520 FGF23-binding antibody designs, each comprising a single amino acid alteration relative to the burosumab light chain (SEQ ID NO: 2) or the burosumab heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 1). All 520 mutational variants were evaluated and screened according to the following criteria: dAffinity (ΔΔΘ (kcal / mol)) between -4.5 kcal / mol and 0.4 kcal / mol; dStability (ΔΔS (kcal / mol)) less than 3.0 kcal / mol; and redundant positions were re-evaluated based on dSASA (difference in solvent-accessible surface area) as an indicator of gain or loss of buried surface area after mutation introduction. ΔΔΘ is a metric for predicting how a single point mutation will affect protein stability. It is a measure of the energy change between the folded and unfolded states and the change in folding ΔΘ when a point mutation is present.This metric is used as a predictor to determine if a point mutation will be favorable in terms of protein stability. The more negative the value, the more stable the protein. Values of ΔΔΘ > 0.5 suggest that a mutation would be destabilizing; values of 0.5 > ΔΔΘ > -0.5 suggest that the changes should be considered neutral or nearly neutral; and ΔΔΘ < -0.5 suggest that the mutation would lead to a more stable protein. ΔΔS, on the other hand, is a measure of the vibrational entropy difference. A positive value indicates greater flexibility, while a negative value indicates a more rigid protein. It is used to predict how a mutation will alter the protein's entropy. The water-accessible surface area (“VdW SA”), the water-accessible surface area of the protein's hydrophobic atoms (“Hydrophobic SA”), and the water-accessible surface area of the protein's hydrophilic atoms (“Hydropophilic SA”) were also calculated.Table 6 provides a summary of the complete 1X scan predictive mutagenesis results for burosumab light chain positions, and Table 7 provides a summary of the complete 1X scan predictive mutagenesis results for burosumab heavy chain positions.

[00215] From the complete 1X scan results, 96 mutational variants were selected for further evaluation based on the screening criteria described above to select predicted affinity enhancements with minimal negative impacts on predicted stability or solvation. These 96 mutational variants are referred to here as the burosumab variant or FGF23-binding antibody designed “design panel 1”. Table 8 provides a summary of the 1X scan predictive mutagenesis results for burosumab light chain positions selected for design panel 1, and Table 9 provides a summary of the 1X scan predictive mutagenesis results for burosumab heavy chain positions selected for design panel 1.

Structural evaluation of the burosumab-FGF23 interaction
[00217] To better characterize the human FGF23burosumab interaction, an X-ray crystallographic study was performed using fully glycosylated human FGF23 (R179Q) from the supernatant of HEK293S cells in complex with burosumab Fab fragments also expressed in HEK293S cells. Burosumab IgG heavy and light chains were digested with papain to separate Fc and Fab fragments, then with protein A to isolate approximately 50 kDa Fab fragments, according to routine methods (Pierce™ Fab Preparation Kit, Thermo Scientific™, cat n° 44985). The fully glycosylated human FGF23 (R179Q) and burosumab Fab fragments were incubated on ice for more than one hour (molar ratio of 1:0.8) and the stable complex was isolated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) followed by SDS-PAGE assessment. The SEC fractions containing the complex were pooled, concentrated, and stored at -80 °C.
[00218] Briefly, crystallization assays were performed in 96-well vapor diffusion plates, mixing 200 nl of protein solution (4.5 mg / ml in 25 mM Hepes pH 7.5 and 150 mM NaCl) and 200 nl of well solution (0.2 M dibasic ammonium citrate and 20% (w / v) PEG 3350). Diffraction data were collected from a single crystal at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) synchrotron and processed using autoPROC (autoProc, XDS, POINTLESS, AIMLESS, CCP4 and STARANISO) (see Vonrhein C, Flensburg C, Keller P, Sharff A, Smart O, Paciorek W, Womack T, Bricogne G. Data processing and analysis with the autoPROC toolbox. Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr. April 2011; 67 (Pt 4): 293-302. [doi:10.1107 / S0907444911007773]). Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 105 / 177 101 / 140
[00219] The phase solution was obtained using Phaser (CCP4) (see J. Agirre et al. Acta. Cryst. D79, 449-461 (2023) “The CCP4 suite: integrative software for macromolecular crystallography”) [doi:10.1107 / S2059798323003595]) using FGF23 and burosumab (PDB IDs 2P32 and 7VEN) as models for molecular replacement. The refinement and construction of the model were performed with RECMAC, BUSTER, and COOT (see J. Agirre et al.; Bricogne G., Blanc E., Brandl M., Flensburg C., Keller P., Paciorek W., Roversi P, Sharff A., Smart OS, Vonrhein C., Womack TO (2017). Cambridge, UK: Global Phasing Ltd.; and Emsley P, Lohkamp B, Scott WG, Cowtan K. Features and development of Coot. Acta Crystallogr. D. Biol. Crystallogr. 2010; 66:486-501. [doi:10.1107 / S0907444910007493]).
[00220] Data collection and refinement statistics for the complex 3 Â structure solved by molecular substitution are provided in Figure 4.
[00221] Figure 5 shows the Fab hFGF23(R179Q):burosumab crystal structure with two antigen:Fab complexes linked by an FGF23:FGF23 dimer. It is worth noting that residues from the FGF23 dimerization interface are not present in the epitopes identified in the crystal structure, but some are involved in FGFR1c receptor binding. It was also observed that the binding of burosumab to FGF23 overlaps with the heparin sulfate binding residues previously reported (Goetz, Regina, et al. Molecular insights into the klothodependent, endocrine mode of action of fibroblast growth factor 19 subfamily members. Molecular and cellular biology 27.9 (2007): 3417-3428.). It is known that heparin sulfate is required for the dimerization of the FGF23:αKlotho:FGFR1c complex (Chen, G., Liu, Y., Goetz, R. et al. “α-Klotho is a non-enzymatic molecular scaffold for FGF23 hormone signalling”. Nature 553, 461-466 (2018).).The residues of the FGF23 dimerization interface in the current crystal structure correspond to those described earlier in the link. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 106 / 177 102 / 140 of FGFRlc by Chen et al. 2018. These findings suggest that burosumab binding to FGF23 may additionally compete with or interfere in some way with receptor binding as well as dimerization.
[00222] Figure 6 is a ribbon model of the FGF23:Fab complex with FGF23 epitope residues identified as colored purple spheres and FGF23-dimer / FGFR1c linking residues as colored cyan spheres, burosumab light chain paratope residues as colored green spheres, and burosumab heavy chain paratope residues as colored yellow spheres. Identification of the epitope and paratope residues by crystallography allowed the rational design of variant burosumab molecules described in Example 6 herein.
[00223] Overall, the 3Å resolution crystallographic structure of the FGF23:burosumab complex provides information about the antigen:antibody interface, which is different from interfaces previously reported in related systems (e.g., FN1 antibody) or the predicted interface (Kanhasut et al. 2022) (compare the epitope residues – purple spheres – in Figure 6 versus Figure 7).

[00224] As can be seen in Table 11 and Table 12, the amino acid residues found interacting between FGF23 and burosumab are within the protected region 1 and protected region 3 residues identified by HDX-MS (Example 2 above), validating these regions as important mediators of the FGF23-burosumab interaction. However, no residue within protected region 2 was found to be involved in the interaction. Regarding paratop residues, the interface residues within the burosumab heavy chain overlap with the HDX-MS data describing the paratop regions 1 and 2 of the heavy chain, but no interaction residue from the paratop region 3 of the heavy chain was observed (see Example 3 above).Similarly, the interface residues within the burosumab light chain overlap with the HDX-MS data describing region 1 and region 2 of the light chain paratop, but no interaction residues from region 3 of the light chain paratop were observed (see Example 3 above).
[00225] Based on the crystal structure, it was concluded that the HDX-MS data from Example 2 correctly identified the protected regions of the FGF23 molecule bound to burosumab; however, the crystal structure revealed that protected region 2 does not interact with burosumab. Instead, this region of FGF23 is likely protected by the conformational change of the FGF23 structure after burosumab binding (i.e., self-protection). Consequently, the in silico docking runs Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 110 / 177 106 / 140 (Example 4) biases in the HDX-MS data led to the selection of molecular poses that did not reflect the actual structure elucidated by crystallography. Even so, the molecular docking studies of Example 4 generated models that were structurally very similar to the final crystal structure (data not shown) — these models, however, were not initially considered due to the lack of involvement of protected region 2 residues.
[00226] The crystal structure revealed complementary charges and hydrophobic spots involved in the burosumab-FGF23 interaction. Figure 8 shows the FGF23:Fab complex in ribbon model (left) and surface models (right panels), with FGF23 and burosumab binding interfaces rotated in the view and detailed amino acid positions superimposed as stick models (rightmost panel). Positively charged surfaces are shown in blue, negative charges in red, leaving uncharged surfaces white. A positively charged region of FGF23 (R143 and R140) is seen in contact with negatively charged complementary residues of burosumab, and hydrophobic spots on the burosumab surface are seen in contact with uncharged and hydrophobic complementary residues of FGF23 (L138, Y51, and H66) (see insets in Figure 8 detailing the binding interface).
[00227] In particular, certain hydrogen bonding residues have been identified between burosumab and FGF23, which could be targeted to improve antibody binding affinity. Figure 9 shows the interface of the FGF23 surface model with burosumab shown in the ribbon-and-stick model. In the surface models depicted, positively charged surfaces are shown in blue, negatively charged surfaces in red, leaving uncharged surfaces white. Panel A shows the FGF23:Fab complex with the FGF23 portion rotated 90 degrees to display the binding interface with all burosumab residues in contact with Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 111 / 177 107 / 140 FGF23. Panel B shows the surface model of FGF23 (top) with positions of burosumab hydrogen-bonding residues in the stick model (overlaid and bottom). Panel C and Panel D show closer views of ionic interactions and aromatic stacking interactions at the FGF23:burosumab interface, respectively. In panel B, several selected burosumab residues are marked (black arrows) as hydrogen-bonding interaction sites that may be rational design targets across the FGF23 interface. Panel C focuses on the prominent ionic interactions with burosumab aspartate and glutamate residues in contact with FGF23 arginine residues (R143 and R140). Panel D focuses on a pi-stacking interaction at FGF23 residue Y51 interacting with burosumab valine and tyrosine residues.
[00228] In summary, the combination of HDX-MS (Example 2 and Example 3), in silico modeling (Example 4), and crystallography data (present Example 7) allowed the generation of a highly accurate and strongly predictive model of the FGF23:burosumab complex. All three lines of evidence were necessary to reliably identify burosumab residues that could be altered to change burosumab affinity. Together, these results elucidated burosumab residues that likely interact with human FGF23 (see Table 12), which could serve as candidate residues for amino acid alterations (deletions, additions, substitutions) for the rational design of burosumab variants with improved FGF23 affinity. Example 8. Predictive mutagenesis of burosumab based on crystal structure.
[00229] A list of candidate amino acid modifications for the variable heavy chain and variable light chain of burosumab was developed based on the crystal structure and interface contact residues described above in Example 7. Molecular mechanics-based tools were Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, page 112 / 177 108 / 140 were used to generate and optimize single (1X) and double (2X) amino acid modifications, focusing on 19 antigen-contact residue positions and 10 semi-distal residue positions (i.e., second-layer distance of approximately 6-8 angstroms). In summary, the crystal structure of the antibody complexed with human FGF23, refined to a 3 Å resolution, was used as a basis to generate the initial coordinates upon which molecular mechanics calculations were performed. The structure was evaluated for completeness, gaps were filled with corresponding residues, and terminals were capped. The resulting structure was subjected to protonation (pH 7) and energy minimization, as implemented in MOE 2022.02 (CCG), and the structural geometry was verified before in silico mutagenesis.
[00230] The antibody-FGF23 interface was analyzed and the relevant contacts were considered based on the distance between antibody and antigen residues. The positions of the residues on the antibody were selected and classified into three groups: close contacts (3~4 Å), second-layer contacts (up to 4.5 Å) and cavity / VdW interactions.
[00231] Three approaches were undertaken to improve affinity. First, variants were designed where a direct interaction was altered. Second, an indirect variant was designed to influence an already established direct interaction. And third, variants were designed that would fill an existing cavity. Emphasis was placed on hydrogen bonding interaction sites that could be modified by altering the interface burosumab residues to introduce ionic interactions or hydrophobic packing sites in aromatic pi-pi interactions, thus increasing affinity. For example, the S52 residue of the VL light chain of burosumab, which forms hydrogen bonding interactions with FGF23 Arg143, can be replaced by a large (Q, T) or negatively charged (D, E) hydrogen bonding (F, Y) stacking that can strengthen the Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 113 / 177 109 / 140 linkage / packing interactions. Similarly, a heavy chain residue Val101, which stacks with FGF23 Tyr51, can be replaced by a bulkier residue (F, I, L, Y) or with a hydrogen bonding property (T). Additional properties that were considered but not directly used for selections were: number of interactions per residue (connectivity), delta(SASA) and deltaG of interaction. Figure 10 and Figure 11 illustrate the relevant interface positions of the light chain and heavy chain of burosumab, respectively, along with details of each residue's interactions with its neighbors.
[00232] Each target position was initially scanned by 1X mutational screening with each mutation followed by rotameric optimization and refinement of the surrounding environment (4,5A). The resulting set of 420 variants was classified based on energetics and structural properties, and the main results (i.e., ΔG <0 and dSASA <0) were combined into 2X and 3X variants for further screening and classification. A final list of 96 variants (1X and 2X) was generated based on the structural analysis of each solution and used as a basis for creating a second list of expanded mutants to further explore the structural space around the interface of interest.
[00233] Initial 1X scanning using predictive mutagenesis resulted in 165 FGF23-binding antibody designs, each comprising a single amino acid alteration relative to the variable region of the burosumab light chain (SEQ ID NO: 4) or the variable region of the burosumab heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 3). All mutational variants were evaluated and screened according to dAffinity (ΔΔG (kcal / mol)); dStability (ΔΔS (kcal / mol)) less than 3.0 kcal / mol; and dSASA (difference in solvent-accessible surface area) as an indicator of gain or loss of buried surface area after mutation introduction. ΔΔG is a metric to predict how a single-point mutation Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 114 / 177 110 / 140 (i.e., a change of 1 amino acid) will affect protein stability. It is a measure of the energy change between the folded and unfolded states and the change in folding ΔG when a point mutation is present. This metric is used as a predictor to determine if a point mutation will be favorable in terms of protein stability. The more negative the value, the more stable the protein. ΔG values > 0.5 suggest that a mutation would be destabilizing; values of 0.5 > ΔG > -0.5 suggest that the changes should be considered neutral or nearly neutral; and ΔG < -0.5 suggest that the mutation would lead to a more stable protein. ΔΔS, on the other hand, is a measure of the vibrational entropy difference. A positive value indicates greater flexibility, while a negative value indicates a more rigid protein. It is used to predict how changing a given amino acid will alter the protein's entropy.The water-accessible surface area (“VdW SA”) was also calculated. Table 13 provides a summary of the complete 1X scan predictive mutagenesis results for burosumab light chain positions, and Table 14 provides a summary of the complete 1X scan predictive mutagenesis results for burosumab heavy chain positions.

In vitro test of selected variants for increased affinity for FGF23
[00237] The FGF23-binding antibody designs from the 1X and 2X antibody design panels shown in Tables 16 and 17, respectively, along with additional antibody variants with 1 or 2 amino acid changes relative to burosumab, were evaluated for affinity by surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
[00238] 96 antibody variants were expressed on a small scale (3 ml) and screened by SPR analysis against human FGF23 (R179Q) in a Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 123 / 177 119 / 140 single concentration (100 nM). Experimental setup for SPR analysis: SPR device - 8K+; chip preparation - CM5 hIgG chip; channels - 1-8; immobilization concentration - 1.5 ug / ml; immobilization method - capture; flow rate - 5 pl / min; contact time - 60 s; running buffer - 1x HBS-EP+ pH 7.4; temperature - 20 °C; flow rate - 50 pl / min; association time - 270 s; dissociation time - 600 s; antigen - rhFGF23(R179Q); maximum concentration - 0.1 μM.
[00239] All antibody variants were classified by the kd turnoff rate or equilibrium dissociation constant kd. The main results with better affinity improvement compared to unmodified burosumab were confirmed with concentration-response curves (CRC). Experimental setup of the SPR analysis for CRC: SPR device - 8K+; chip preparation - CM5 hIgG chip; channels - 1-8; immobilization concentration - 1.5 ug / ml; immobilization method - capture; flow rate - 5 μl / min; contact time - 60 s; running buffer - 1x HBS-EP+ pH 7.4; temperature - 20 °C; flow rate - 50 μl / min; association time - 120 s; dissociation time - 1800 s; rhFGF23(R179Q) antigen; Maximum concentration - 0.1 μM, single-cycle kinetics in triplicate at 9 points.

[00241] These data show that the improved affinity in the engineered burosumab variants is likely due to the improved dissociation rate (inactive rate, or kd), while the association rate (active rate, or ka) remained very similar across all variants. These data also demonstrate at least 13 distinct engineered burosumab variants with a KD ratio greater than or equal to 2, meaning that these antibody variants have at least a 2-fold improvement (up to a 5-fold improvement) in affinity compared to burosumab. Antibodies that exhibited slower or similar elimination rates compared to burosumab were selected for further analysis using concentration-response curves (CRCs) to confirm kinetic parameters.
[00242] The results are given in Table 19, sorted according to the discount rate.In Table 19, the column headings are abbreviated as follows: “AS ID” refers to “Antibody Structure ID,” a unique identifier for each antibody as defined herein; “AA Alteration(s)” refers to amino acid residue alterations relative to the amino acid sequence of the variable heavy chain (“HC”) region of the parental burosumab (SEQ ID NO: 3) or the amino acid sequence of the variable light chain (“LC”) region of the parental burosumab (SEQ ID NO: 4), or both; “Kd” refers to the equilibrium dissociation constant (M); “ka” refers to the association rate or constant (1 / Ms); “kd” refers to the dissociation rate or constant (1 / s); “Rmax” refers to the theoretical Rmax or calculated maximum observable signal (relative units); “SA” refers to the surface activity (%); and “Ratio” refers to the calculated ratio of variant antibody KD / burosumab KD.For clarity, each antibody is represented by the antibody structure ID numbers UGX205, UGX201, UGX144, UGX157, UGX202,.

[00243] SPR data suggest that several paratopo residues are acting through various mechanisms to support burosumab:FGF23 binding. In particular, amino acid substitutions S52D / E, N92F / Y, and Y94D / E following the light chain of the parental burosumab and I54F / Y, S59D / E, V101I, and A103S following the heavy chain of Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 128 / 177 124 / 140 parenteral burosumab significantly affect antibody affinity for FGF23, predominantly by decreasing the kd turn-off rate.
[00244] Without wishing to limit themselves to theory, the present inventors hypothesize that: Y94D / E light chain substitutions can form ionic interactions with the epitope residue Arg48; S59E heavy chain and Y94D / E light chain substitutions can work together to stabilize sandwich interactions with the epitope residue Arg48; N92F / Y light chain substitutions appear to strengthen hydrophobic packing interactions with epitope residues, such as Pro153, particularly with the S59E heavy chain substitution; the A103S heavy chain substitution likely introduces a hydrogen bond with a nearby epitope residue, including Arg140; S59E heavy chain and S52D / E light chain substitutions can form ionic interactions with epitope residues Arg48 and Arg143, respectively;The heavy chain substitution V101I likely promotes a stronger hydrophobic packing interaction with the epitope residues Tyr51, L138, and Tyr154; and heavy chain substitutions I54F / Y may promote stacking interaction with the epitope residue His66 (Figure 12). Example 11. Characterization of selected variant antibodies against cynoFGF23
[00245] The binding kinetics of 13 antibody variants shown in Table 19 were characterized against the cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) FGF23 (R179Q) (i.e., “cynoFGF23”) (SEQ ID NO: 372). The antibody variants were expressed on a small scale (3 ml) and tracked by SPR analysis at a single concentration (100 nM).

[00246] The binding of selected antibody variants to cynoFGF23 was comparable to that observed with human FGF23. Example 12. Confirmation of HDX-MS epitope / paratope mapping by SPR analysis.
[00247] The HDXMS epitope and paratope mapping data, described in Examples 2 and 3, respectively, were re-evaluated in light of the SPR data described in Example 10 to confirm the effects of major residue changes within the protected HDX-MS regions. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 130 / 177 126 / 140 Epitope mapping identified three putative epitopes (protected regions 1-3 in Table 3), and paratope mapping identified six regions potentially involved in antigen binding (see Table 4).
[00248] SPR data confirmed that burosumab light chain residues S52 in region 2 of the light chain paratop (see Table 4) and I54 and S59 in region 2 of the heavy chain paratop (see Table 4) are key residues within the HDX-MS protected regions of burosumab, suggesting that these residues are important mediators of burosumab binding to FGF23.
[00249] SPR data also confirmed that burosumab light chain residues S52, N92, and Y94 and burosumab heavy chain residues S59 and V101 are key residues that interact with protected regions 1-3 of FGF23 (Table 3).
[00250] Thus, of the 7 main burosumab residues determined by SPR (light chain S52, N92, Y94 and heavy chain I54, S59, V101 and A103) as replaceable to improve burosumab affinity, 6 of them were also identified by HDX-MS epitope / paratope mapping. This shows strong correlation and agreement between the results of the initial HDX-MS studies and the subsequent modeling based on crystal structure and antibody variant design. Example 13. In silico modeling of additional antibody variants based on SPR analysis.
[00251] Examples 10 to 12 identify and confirm at least 7 burosumab residues (light chain S52, N92, Y94 and heavy chain I54, S59, V101 and A103) that are replaceable to improve antibody affinity to FGF23. These key burosumab residues were subsequently evaluated by in silico modeling to identify additional antibody variants with equivalent or improved affinity compared to parental burosumab and / or variants identified in Table 18 and Table 19. Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 131 / 177 127 / 140
[00252] In summary, all 7 core residues of burosumab were interrogated using predictive mutagenesis by in silico modeling based on the Fab:FGF23 crystal structure of burosumab and SPR data. Specifically, antibody variants from Table 18 and Table 19 having a KD ratio (calculated antibody variant KD / burosumab KD ratio) greater than 2 (i.e., 3 or greater; UGX205, UGX201, UGX202, and UGX206) were analyzed using the Molecular Operating Environment “MOE” (2022.02) to define the structural determinants of binding (i.e., which single residues or residue pairs may be working synergistically to improve affinity). All possible combinations of amino acid changes in the 7 core residues of burosumab in these antibodies were computationally generated. Certain amino acid changes (by amino acid position) that were consistent with the initial empirical SPR data were then selected for further analysis.All combinations of amino acid variants predicted to improve affinity towards the parent burosumab from a structural / computational standpoint are shown in Table 21, where: “AS ID” refers to “Antibody Structure ID”, a unique identifier for each antibody as defined herein; “AA Change(s)” refers to amino acid residue changes relative to the amino acid sequence of the variable heavy chain (“HC”) region of the parent burosumab (SEQ ID NO: 3) or the amino acid sequence of the variable light chain (“LC”) region of the parent burosumab (SEQ ID NO: 4), or both; “ΔΔG” refers to the calculated dAffinity (kcal / mol); “ΔΔS” refers to the calculated dStability (kcal / mol); and “Rationale” refers to the main observations noted during the MOE assessment.

[00253] To summarize, mutational solutions of the main antibody variants (e.g., Table 19) were analyzed using structural computational methods, and a set of new variants was generated with designs predicted to have similar or superior affinity. Additional designs included several burosumab antibody variants predicted to have better affinity compared to the parent burosumab. Example 14. Data Summary
[00254] The studies described here sought to rationally design burosumab antibody variants with improved affinity for FGF23, Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 136 / 177 132 / 140 introducing one or more amino acid changes in the heavy chain amino acid sequence, in the light chain amino acid sequence, or in both the heavy chain and light chain amino acid sequences.
[00255] Amino acid residue changes were modeled based on contributions from epitope and paratope mapping studies (Examples 2 and 3), molecular docking and predictive mutagenesis studies (Example 4), structural analysis by crystallography (Example 7) and predictive mutagenesis based on resolved crystal structure (Example 8), refinement of antibody variant designs to identify the most promising antibody structural variants with 2-fold or greater improvements in affinity to human FGF23, and in vitro testing of variants selected by SPR analysis (Examples 9 and 10).
[00256] The studies reported here further characterized certain key antibody variants with respect to cynoFGF23 affinity (Example 11) and identified additional antibody variants through computational investigation of alternative amino acid substitutions at key residues identified as important for modulating burosumab-FGF23 binding (Example 13).
[00257] Table 22 lists unique burosumab antibody variants designed according to the studies described herein. In Table 22, each variant antibody is assigned a unique “AS ID” number. In addition, each antibody variant has one or more light chain amino acid changes (“LC AA Change”) relative to the parental burosumab light chain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, or has one or more variable region light chain amino acid changes (“VL AA Change”) relative to the variable region light chain amino acid sequence of the parental burosumab light chain of SEQ ID NO: 4, and / or has one or more heavy chain amino acid changes (“HC AA Change”) relative to the heavy chain amino acid sequence of Petition 870250099897, dated 10 / 31 / 2025, pp. 137 / 177 133 / 140 burosumab parent of SEQ ID NO: 1 or has one or more amino acid changes in the variable heavy chain region (“VH AA Change”) relative to the amino acid sequence of the variable heavy chain region of burosumab parent of SEQ ID NO: 3. In Table 22, the “AKA” column refers to alternative identifiers assigned to certain AS IDs provided herein. Sequence identification numbers (“SID#s”) are provided for the respective heavy chain (HC), light chain (LC), variable heavy chain (VH), and variable light chain (VL) amino acid sequences disclosed herein.
