Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of biological activity detection of antibody drugs, more particularly to an in vitro biological activity detection method of antibodies against Factor XI (FXI) or activated form XIa (FXIa) and antigen-binding fragments thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Thrombotic diseases not only have high morbidity, but also have high mortality and disability. Anticoagulant drugs are effective in preventing and treating thrombotic diseases. The coagulation cascade is a process in which a series of coagulation factors are activated in succession, and ultimately fibrin is formed. The coagulation cascade is initiated by the intrinsic pathway (also known as the contact activation pathway) and the extrinsic pathway (also known as the tissue factor pathway), and then proceeds through the common pathway to form fibrin. FXI is essential for maintaining the intrinsic pathway and plays a key role in the amplification of the coagulation cascade. Therefore, drugs targeting FXI can block the intrinsic pathway and inhibit the amplification of the coagulation cascade, thereby playing an anti-thrombosis role.

[0003] High levels of coagulation factor XI in vivo are associated with thrombotic events, and anti-FXI / FXIa antibodies are an effective drug for preventing or treating thrombosis, which prevents the intrinsic coagulation pathway by binding to coagulation factor XI or its activated form XIa in the blood, thereby achieving the purpose of anticoagulation. As one of the methods for evaluating or controlling the quality of antibody drugs, it is of great significance to determine the in vitro biological activity of anti-FXI / FXIa monoclonal antibodies.

[0004] Anti-FXI / FXIa antibody biological activity assays usually use activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) method. The aPTT method usually uses a coagulation instrument to determine the coagulation time of a series of concentrations of antibodies, plots the curve of antibody concentration versus coagulation time, and then calculates the biological activity of the test product. Determining the biological activity of antibodies with a coagulation instrument requires batch determination of a series of concentrations of samples and control products, which often takes a long time to determine one sample. For an 8-channel coagulation instrument, it takes about 2 hours, and most biological drug analysis laboratories do not have a coagulation instrument, while an enzyme-labeled instrument is a commonly used instrument in laboratories. In the present disclosure, we use an enzyme-labeled instrument instead of a coagulation instrument, and according to the different degrees of coagulation of a series of concentrations of antibodies at the same action time, we determine the transmittance OD value. When the plasma does not coagulate, the transmittance OD value is the smallest; when the plasma completely coagulates, the transmittance OD value reaches the maximum; and when the plasma is in the coagulation process, the transmittance OD value is linearly correlated with the coagulation time within a certain range (R 2 >0.99, see the accompanying drawings Figure 1, 2). Thus, the OD value of the coagulation process can reflect the degree of plasma coagulation. By determining the coagulation OD value of the antibody series concentration at a certain reaction time, the dose-effect response curve of the antibody series concentration and the OD value is drawn, which reflects the anticoagulant effect of the anti-FXI / FXIa antibody. By comparison with the standard (or control), the biological activity of the anti-FXI / FXIa antibody test sample can be calculated. The determination of a sample (containing a control) by the microplate reader method only takes 20 minutes, which is much shorter than the coagulometer method. When the number of samples is large, the former has more obvious advantages.

[0005] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an anti-FXI / FXIa antibody biological activity detection method, which uses a microplate reader to replace the coagulometer of the traditional method to analyze the biological activity of the anti-FXI / FXIa antibody, and simplifies the experimental operation, shortens the experimental period, and improves the detection efficiency.

[0140] Terms

[0141] For the purposes of the present disclosure, certain technical and scientific terms are specifically defined below. Unless specifically defined herein, all other technical and scientific terms used have the meanings that are commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.

[0142] The three letter code and one letter code for amino acids used in the present disclosure are as described in J. Biol. Chem, 243, p 3558 (1968).

[0143] "Factor XI" is also referred to herein as "Coagulation Factor XI", "FXI", or "fXI", which is a two-chain glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 160 kilodaltons (kD). The two chains can be identical disulfide-linked polypeptides with a molecular weight of about 80,000 daltons. FXI contains four "apple domains" (A1-A4 from the N-terminus, heavy chain) and a C-terminal catalytic domain (light chain). Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, it is believed that the four apple domains contain FXI binding sites for other proteins, such as Al for thrombin; A2 for HK, A3 for Factor IX (FIX), GPIb, and heparin, A4 for FXIIa. FXI can be converted to its active form, coagulation factor XIa (FXIa), by Factor XIIa (FXIIa). The serine protease FXIa converts coagulation factor IX to IXa, which then activates coagulation factor X (Xa). Xa can then mediate coagulation factor II / thrombin activation.

[0144] "Antibody" as described herein is used in the broadest sense and encompasses various antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies; monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), full-length antibodies and antibody fragments (or antigen binding fragments, or antigen binding portions), as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. An antibody can refer to an immunoglobulin, a naturally occurring intact antibody is a four polypeptide chain structure connected by interchain disulfide bonds, consisting of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. The immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region has different amino acid compositions and arrangement orders, so its antigenicity is different. Accordingly, immunoglobulins can be divided into five categories, or called isotypes of immunoglobulins, namely IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA and IgE, and the corresponding heavy chains are μ chain, δ chain, γ chain, α chain and ε chain, respectively. The same class of Ig can be divided into different subclasses according to the differences in amino acid composition of the hinge region, the number and position of heavy chain disulfide bonds, such as IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4. The light chain is divided into κ chain or λ chain through the constant region. Each of the five types of Ig can have κ chain or λ chain.

[0145] The sequences of the heavy and light chains of an antibody near the N-terminus are highly variable, forming the variable region (Fv region); the remaining amino acid sequences near the C-terminus are relatively stable, forming the constant region. The variable region includes three hypervariable regions (HVR) and four relatively conserved framework regions (FR). The three hypervariable regions determine the specificity of the antibody, also known as the complementarity determining region (CDR). Each light chain variable region (LCVR) and heavy chain variable region (HCVR) is composed of three CDR regions and four FR regions, arranged in the order of FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4 from the amino terminal to the carboxyl terminal. The three CDR regions of the light chain are referred to as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3; the three CDR regions of the heavy chain are referred to as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3. The CDR amino acid residues of the LCVR region and HCVR region of the antibody or antigen binding fragment described in the present disclosure are in accordance with the known Kabat numbering rules (LCDR1-3, HCDR2-3), or in accordance with the numbering rules of kabat and chothia (HCDR1).

[0146] The "antibody" of the present disclosure includes not only full-length antibodies, but also antigen binding fragments capable of binding to antigens.

[0147] The term "antigen binding fragment" or "functional fragment" refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain its ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full-length antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen binding fragment" include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CHI domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region, (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CHI domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the VH and VL domains of a single arm of an antibody; (v) a dsFv, a stabilized antigen binding fragment formed by the VH and VL domains of an antibody via an interchain disulfide bond; (vi) diabodies, bispecific antibodies and multispecific antibodies comprising a scFv, a dsFv, a Fab, and the like fragments. Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be produced as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv); see, e.g., Bird et al. (1988) Science 242:423-426; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci USA 85:5879-5883). Such single chain antibodies are also included in the term "antigen binding fragment" of an antibody. Such antibody fragments are obtained using conventional techniques known to those with skill in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same fashion as are intact antibodies. Antigen binding moieties can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact immunoglobulin. The antibody can be an antibody of different isotype, e.g., an IgG (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 subtypes), IgAl, IgA2, IgD, IgE or IgM antibody.

[0148] The term "binds to FXI / FXIa" of the present disclosure refers to the ability of an antibody or antigen binding fragment of the present disclosure to interact with FXI / FXIa or an epitope thereof, which can be of human origin. The term "antigen binding site" of the present disclosure refers to a three-dimensional space on an antigen recognized by an antibody or antigen binding fragment of the present disclosure.

[0149] The term "specifically binds" refers to as determined by techniques available in the art, e.g., a competitive ELISA, a radioimmunoassay, or a determination, or determination. The term also applies to the situation when, for example, the antigen binding domain of an antibody of the present disclosure is specific for a particular epitope carried by a number of antigens, in which case the antibody carrying the antigen binding domain is capable of specifically binding to a plurality of antigens carrying the epitope.

[0150] The term "test sample" refers to a sample to be tested, to be identified. In the present disclosure, the test sample includes an antibody sample to be tested for biological activity produced in industrial production, specifically including an anti-FXI / FXIa antibody stock solution or finished product.

[0151] The term "sample buffer" refers to a buffer used to dilute a sample or other reagent.

[0152] The term "release" refers to the ability of an intermediate product and / or a finished product to achieve an acceptable quality according to process data.

[0249] The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) in the presence of different concentrations of candidate antibodies (diluted in PBS) was determined using the Sysmex kit. The candidate antibody to be tested was incubated with plasma at 37°C for 3min, and then the coagulation was initiated by adding 25mM calcium chloride reagent, and the time when coagulation occurred was determined. The concentration of the candidate antibody that prolonged the aPTT by 50% (aPTT1.5) and the half maximal effective concentration (EC50) were determined. The test results of some antibodies are shown in Figure 2A , Figure 3A and Table 4. 1209 is another anti-FXI / FXIa antibody obtained by screening in the present application.

[0253] 3.4. Pharmacokinetics (PK) / pharmacodynamics (PD) test in cynomolgus monkeys

[0254] Normal adult male cynomolgus monkeys (body weight in the range of 4.0-4.7 kg) were assigned into groups according to body weight (body weight of the 1st, 4th, 5th into one group, and body weight of the 2nd, 3rd, 6th into another group), 3 monkeys in each group, observed for 14 days.

[0255] Blood samples were collected with sodium citrate blood collection tubes one day before administration as pre-dose samples, and aPTT, PT, plasma drug concentration, plasma active Factor XI (FXI) ratio (FXI:C%, i.e. the ratio of FXI with coagulation activity) and plasma free FXI concentration were determined; at the same time, the bleeding time of each animal was determined. Among the two groups of animals, one group was blank without administration; the other group was administered 3882 at 5 mg / kg body weight (mg / kg, mpk). The drug was dissolved in phosphate buffer (PBS) at a concentration of 5 mg / mL, and administered by intravenous bolus injection.

[0256] The blank control group was observed for bleeding time at 15 minutes (min) and 3 hours (h) after administration; and the plasma was collected and aPTT and PT were observed according to the above method at 15 min, 3 h, 6 h and 1 day (d) after administration. The administration group was observed for bleeding time at 15 min, 3 h, 2 d, 4 d, 1 week (w), 2 w and 3 w after administration; and the plasma was collected and aPTT, PT, plasma drug concentration, plasma FXI:C% and plasma free FXI concentration were observed according to the above method at 15 min, 3 h, 6 h, 1 d, 2 d, 4 d, 1 w, 2 w, 3 w, 4 w, 5 w and 6 w after administration. Both groups of animals were subjected to AV-shunt thrombosis 1 d after administration, and the thrombosis time was 10 min, and the net weight of the thrombus was measured after thrombosis.

[0257] Among them, aPTT, PT and plasma FXI:C% were determined by coagulometer and corresponding kit, plasma free FXI concentration and plasma drug concentration were determined by ELISA method. The thrombus weight was compared between the administration group and the control group, and the statistical analysis was performed by t test.

[0258] The results of antibody test are shown in Table 2. Figure 4A - Figure 4D Among them, the negative control (NC) was not administered. The results showed that 3882 well inhibited thrombus formation, and at the same time, prolonged the endogenous coagulation time, but had no significant effect on the bleeding time and exogenous coagulation time of the animals, and the PK results showed that the half-life was about 20 days.

[0259] 3.5. Pharmacodynamics (PD) test in cynomolgus monkeys

[0260] Normal adult male cynomolgus monkeys (body weight in the range of 7-9 kg) 6, were randomly divided into 3 groups, respectively: BAY1213790 intravenous administration of 1 mg / kg group; 3882 intravenous administration of 1 mg / kg group; 3882 subcutaneous administration of 1 mg / kg group. Intravenous administration group animals before administration and after administration of 5 min, 1 h, 1 d, 2 d, 3 d, 5 d, 1 w, 2 w, 3 w, 4 w, subcutaneous administration group before administration and after administration of 1 h, 1 d, 2 d, 3 d, 5 d, 1 w, 2 w, 3 w, 4 w, with sodium citrate blood collection tube to collect blood samples, with coagulation instrument and corresponding kit to determine aPTT and plasma FXI:C%.

[0261] Test results see Figure 5A , 5B. The results show that 3882 subcutaneous administration and intravenous administration can significantly prolong the intrinsic coagulation time and inhibit the activity of FXI. Under the condition of equal dose administration, compared with BAY1213790, 3882 can maintain longer prolongation of intrinsic coagulation time and stronger inhibition of FXI.

[0267] Example 4, Coagulation curve of different anti-FXI / FXIa antibody concentrations

[0268] The anti-FXI / FXIa antibody (3882 antibody) was diluted with 50 mM TB (pH 7.3, 0.002% trypan blue) buffer to a series of concentrations: 6.25 μg / mL, 1.56 μg / mL, 0.391 μg / mL, 0.0977 μg / mL, 0.0488 μg / mL, and 0 μg / mL (TB), 25 μL of each was added to a 96-well plate, and an equal volume of standard human plasma was added, and incubated at 25°C, 1000 rpm for 10 min.

[0271] The test sample and control sample were pre-diluted to 200 μg / mL with 50 mM TB (pH 7.3, 0.002% trypan blue) buffer, then serially diluted by 2-fold gradient for 8-10 times in a dilution plate, 9-11 concentration sample solutions were obtained, each concentration was set in duplicate, 25 μL of each was added to a 96-well half-hole plate, an equal volume of standard human plasma was added, and the mixture was incubated at 25°C and 1000 rpm for 10 min, and a control blank hole with only buffer was set. Then 25 μL of aPTT reagent was added per well, and the mixture was incubated at 25°C and 1000 rpm for 3 min; 25 μL of 12.5 mM CaCl2 solution was added to each well to start the coagulation process; the mixture was incubated at 25°C for 60 seconds, and then 25 μL of 25 mM EDTA solution was added to each well; the control blank hole was zeroed on a microplate reader, and the OD value at 340 nm was read. The logarithm of the concentration was taken as the abscissa, and the OD value was taken as the ordinate, a four-parameter equation was selected for fitting, a curve was drawn, and the EC 50 value of the sample was calculated.

[0274] The test sample (anti-FXI / FXIa antibody), test sample buffer and irrelevant antibody (an antibody targeting a non-FXI / FXIa antigen of IgG4 subtype, same as the test sample) were determined. The test sample buffer was diluted according to the same method as the test sample, and the irrelevant antibody was diluted according to its protein content, and the determination was performed on the same 96-well plate as the test sample.

[0275] Figure 10 The results showed that the test sample showed a clear dose-effect curve, and the test sample buffer and the irrelevant antibody showed no obvious dose-effect curve, indicating that the method had good specificity for the biological activity determination of anti-FXI / FXIa antibody.

[0279]

[0280] The results of Table 5 show that the RSD of the bioactivity of the test sample anti-FXI / FXIa antibody determined by two experimenters for 6 times is 14.7%, indicating that the precision of the method is good.

[0281] Example 8, determination of bioactivity of anti-FXI / FXIa antibody (evaluation of accuracy)

[0282] The anti-FXI / FXIa antibody sample was diluted to 400 μg / mL, 300 μg / mL, 200 μg / mL, 140 μg / mL and 100 μg / mL, respectively, to prepare samples with theoretical bioactivity of 200%, 150%, 100%, 70% and 50%, respectively, and then detected after serial gradient dilution at 1:2, and the recovery rate of the 5 groups of samples was calculated (recovery rate = measured bioactivity / theoretical bioactivity x 100%).

[0285] Note: The control sample is the same as the 100% anti-FXI / FXIa antibody sample.

[0286] The results show that the recovery rates of the 5 concentration points with theoretical bioactivity of 200%, 150%, 100%, 70% and 50% are all between 80% and 120%, indicating good accuracy. Linear regression analysis of the measured bioactivity value and the theoretical bioactivity value shows that R 2 is 0.967, indicating good linear fitting, see Figure 11 .
