Description

[0001] Cross Reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to the application with CN application number 202410561279.4, filed on May 7, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application belongs to the field of biological medicine, and relates to a drug combination and use thereof. Specifically, the drug combination comprises an antibody and an antibody conjugate drug of the antibody. More specifically, the antibody is an anti-HER3 antibody, and the antibody conjugate drug is an antibody conjugate drug of the anti-HER3 antibody; or the antibody is an anti-TROP2 antibody, and the antibody conjugate drug is an antibody conjugate drug of the anti-TROP2 antibody. The present application also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the drug combination and use thereof. BACKGROUND

[0004] Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is a new type of macromolecular targeted drug, which has the strong killing effect of traditional small molecule chemotherapy and the tumor targeting of antibody drugs. ADC is composed of three main parts: antibody responsible for selective recognition of cancer cell surface antigens, payload responsible for killing cancer cells, and linker connecting antibody and payload. After ADC drugs enter the blood circulation, their antibody parts specifically bind to the antigens on the surface of tumor cells, and the complex formed by the combination enters the cell through receptor-mediated endocytosis (which can be divided into four types: clathrin-mediated endocytosis, cave-like invagination, macropinocytosis, and clathrin- and caveolin-independent endocytosis). The cleavable linker is sensitive to environmental factors in tumor cells and will be cleaved by specific pH environment, proteases, or certain chemicals; ADC drugs carrying non-cleavable linkers are digested by lysosomes, releasing the drugs. Some small molecules of ADC drugs can penetrate the cell membrane to further kill surrounding cancer cells, i.e., bystander killing effect (Khongorzul, Puregmaa, et al. "Antibody-Drug Conjugates: A Comprehensive Review." Mol Cancer Res 1 (2020).; Kostova Vesela, Désos Patrice, Starck et al. The Chemistry Behind ADCs. [J]. Pharmaceuticals (Basel), 2021, 14: undefined.).

[0005] The accumulation of the payload in the tumor is limited, so it is necessary to kill the tumor at sub-nanomolar concentrations. In addition, it is also necessary to have good stability to maintain the structure and activity in the circulatory system and lysosomes. Common payloads mainly include microtubulin inhibitors and DNA damage agents. Microtubulin inhibitors can kill tumor cells and inhibit the rapid proliferation of tumor cells by inhibiting the generation and aggregation of microtubulin. The microtubulin inhibitors commonly used for ADC construction include Maytansines, Auristatins and Tubulysins, etc. DNA damage agents are divided into three categories according to different mechanisms: DNA double-strand breakage agents, DNA insertion agents and DNA alkylation agents. DNA is crucial for cell growth and proliferation, and its destruction can efficiently kill tumor cells and inhibit their rapid proliferation. The DNA damage agents commonly used for ADC construction include pyrrolobenzodiazepine and indolinobenzodiazepine (such as pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine, PBD), duocarmycin, camptothecin (CPT) and its derivatives (such as topoisomerase I inhibitor DXd and SN-38), and calicheamicin, etc. (Dan Nirnoy, Setua Saini, Kashyap Vivek K et al. Antibody-Drug Conjugates for Cancer Therapy: Chemistry to Clinical Implications. [J]. Pharmaceuticals (Basel), 2018, 11: undefined.).

[0006] ADC has a broad application prospect, but such anti-cancer drugs are hindered by a relatively narrow therapeutic window. More potent payloads can reduce the minimum effective dose (MED) of ADC, but they often cause greater toxicity, resulting in a lower maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Their clinical success is often limited by low tumor penetration and poor distribution at relevant doses. The tumor distribution of ADC depends on many factors, including the dose itself, the physicochemical properties of the linker-payload, the systemic clearance rate, the amount of antigen expression, the endocytosis rate, and the tumor's surface-to-volume ratio (S / V), among others. Poor tissue penetration of ADC drugs is a major challenge in solid tumor antibody therapy. For ADC, on the one hand, the dose-limiting toxicity of small molecule payloads results in lower dosing than the parent antibody, reducing tumor penetration. Even with continuous dosing, the sustained internalization of ADC prevents delivery to all tumor cells. On the other hand, high antigen expression on solid tumors and high affinity between antigen and antibody result in most ADC binding to antigen being limited to the vicinity of tumor blood vessels, forming a binding-site-barrier (BSB) that prevents penetration into tumor cells away from blood vessels. There is little payload in deep tumor cells, resulting in a decrease in the tumor clearance efficiency of ADC drugs. For ADC drugs that do not exhibit bystander killing effects, the binding-site-barrier effect is more pronounced.

[0007] HER3 is a member of the human epidermal receptor (HER) family, consisting of an extracellular ligand-binding region, an alpha-helix transmembrane region, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase region. HER3 is abnormally overexpressed in various invasive tumors, including breast tumors, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), metastatic colon cancer, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, clear cell sarcoma, gastric cancer, and skin cancer. HER3 can bind to the ligand neuregulin (NRG), although it lacks intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity, but HER3 can induce cross-linking phosphorylation of highly conserved kinase residues in the cell by forming heterodimers with HER2, i.e., one receptor phosphorylates specific tyrosine residues on another receptor, thereby recruiting and activating downstream proteins, directly activating the PI3K / AKT pathway, causing signal cascade reactions, and promoting tumor cell development. Therefore, HER3 has become a new target for tumor therapy.

[0008] Trop2 promotes tumor growth and metastasis mainly by regulating multiple cell signaling pathways. After the intracellular tail serine residue (S303) of Trop2 is phosphorylated, it promotes the hydrolysis of 4,5-diphospho phosphatidylinositol (PIP2) into inositol triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), which in turn releases calcium ions from the endoplasmic reticulum, activates the MAPK signaling pathway, and promotes cell cycle progression [Wang J. Research Progress of Trop2 Gene and Triple-negative Breast Cancer [J]. Surgical Theory and Practice, 2022. DOI: 10.16139 / j.1007-9610.2022.05.018.]. Overexpression of Trop2 can also increase p42 / p44MAPK (ERK1 / 2) phosphorylation, thereby further enhancing the activity of downstream target AP-1 transcription factor, down-regulating Bcl-2 expression, and inhibiting apoptosis. In addition, AP-1 can also increase the expression of cyclin D1, cyclin E, and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDKs), inhibit the formation of cyclinD1-CDK4 and cyclinE-CDK4 complexes, and promote the transition of the cell cycle from G0 / G1 to S phase. At the same time, Trop2 can up-regulate the expression of the proliferation marker Ki-67, thereby promoting tumor cell proliferation [Liu T, Liu Y, Bao X, et al. Overexpression of TROP2 predicts poor prognosis of patients with cervical cancer and promotes the proliferation and invasion of cervical cancer cells by regulating ERK signaling pathway [J]. PLoS One, 2013, 8(9): e75864.]. In addition, Trop2 can promote the enrichment of cytoplasmic protein kinase C receptor 1 (RACK1) on the cell membrane, making it close to integrin β-1, reducing the binding of fibronectin to integrin β-1, and forming a complex of Trop2, integrin β-1, and talin protein, which together enhances the function of focal adhesion kinase FAK, thereby reducing tumor cell adhesion and promoting metastasis and diffusion [Yu Q, Miao QF. Research Progress of Anti-tumor Drug Target Trop2 [J]. Chinese Medicine and Biotechnology, 2018, 13(4): 5. DOI: 10.3969 / j.issn.1673-713X.2018.04.012.].

[0422] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by a person skilled in the art. And, the cell culture, molecular genetics, nucleic acid chemistry, immunology laboratory operation steps used herein are the conventional steps widely used in the corresponding field. At the same time, in order to better understand the present application, the definitions and explanations of related terms are provided below.

[0423] In the present application, the term "therapeutic window" refers to the difference between the minimum effective dose and the toxic dose of a drug. Generally speaking, the wider the therapeutic window, the better the safety of the drug, and the narrower the therapeutic window, the worse the safety of the drug.

[0424] As used herein, the term EC 50 refers to the concentration for 50% of maximal effect, which refers to the concentration that can cause 50% of the maximum effect.

[0425] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that is generally composed of two pairs of polypeptide chains (each pair having one "light" (L) chain and one "heavy" (H) chain). Antibody light chains can be assigned to a class, kappa and lambda. Heavy chains can be assigned to a class, mu, delta, gamma, alpha, or epsilon, and define a specificity of an antibody as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are joined by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain also contains a "D" region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain is composed of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region is comprised of three domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is composed of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, CL. The constant regions of the antibodies can mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can also be subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions of each heavy / light chain pair (VH and VL) form the antibody binding site. Assignment of amino acids to each region or domain follows the definition of Bethesda M.d., Kabat Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, (1987 and 1991)), or Chothia & Lesk J. Mol. Biol. 1987; 196:901-917; Chothia et al. Nature 1989; 342:878-883, or the IMGT numbering system definition, see Ehrenmann F, Kaas Q, Lefranc M P. IMGT / 3Dstructure-DB and IMGT / DomainGapAlign: a database and a tool for immunoglobulins or antibodies, T cell receptors, MHC, IgSF and MhcSF [J]. Nucleic acids research, 2009; 38(suppl_1):D301-D307.

[0426] The variable regions of both light and heavy chains determine antigen binding; the variable regions of each chain contain three hypervariable regions of about 10-15 amino acids each, referred to as Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs), wherein the CDRs of the heavy chain (H) include HCDR1, HCDR2, HCDR3, and the CDRs of the light chain (L) include LCDR1, LCDR2, LCDR3. In the present application, CDRs are defined by the IMGT numbering system, see Ehrenmann F, Kaas Q, Lefranc MP. IMGT / 3Dstructure-DB and IMGT / DomainGapAlign: a database and a tool for immunoglobulins or antibodies, T cell receptors, MHC, IgSF and MhcSF [J]. Nucleic acids research, 2009; 38(suppl_1): D301-D307.

[0427] The term "antibody" is not restricted by the method in which the antibody is produced. For example, it includes recombinant antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, and polyclonal antibodies. The antibody can be an antibody of different isotype, for example, an IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 subtype), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM antibody.

[0428] As used herein, the term "Fc", "Fc fragment" or "Fc fragment", also known as fragment crystallizable. Generally, the Fc fragment comprises the domain 2 (CH2) and the domain 3 (CH3) of the heavy chain constant region. In some embodiments of the present application, the Fc fragment is the Fc fragment of human IgG. In some embodiments of the present application, the Fc fragment of human IgG is the Fc fragment of human IgG1.

[0429] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to a polypeptide that comprises a fragment of a full-length antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind the same antigen bound by the full-length antibody, and / or competes with the full-length antibody for specific binding to the antigen, which is also referred to as an "antigen-binding portion." See generally, Fundamental Immunology, Ch. 7 (Paul, W., ed., 2nded. Raven Press, N.Y. (1989)), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Antigen-binding fragments of an antibody can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. In some cases, antigen-binding fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fd, Fv, dAb, and complementarity determining region (CDR) fragments, single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv), chimeric antibodies, diabodies, and polypeptides that contain at least a portion of an antibody that is sufficient to confer specific antigen binding to the polypeptide.

[0430] As used herein, the term "Fd fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of the V H and C H 1 domains; the term "Fv fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of the V L and V H domains of a single arm of an antibody; the term "dAb fragment" means an antibody fragment which consists of a V H domain (Ward et al., Nature 341 :544-546 (1989)); the term "Fab fragment" means an antibody fragment consisting of V L , V H , C L , and C H 1 domains; the term "F(ab')2 fragment" means an antibody fragment that comprises two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region.

[0431] In some cases, an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody is a diabody, i.e., a bivalent antibody comprising V H and V L domains expressed on a single polypeptide chain, but using a linker that is too short to allow for pairing between the two domains on the same chain, thereby forcing the domains to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and creating two antigen binding sites (see, e.g., Holliger P. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448 (1993), and Poljak R.J. et al., Structure 2:1121-1123 (1994)).

[0432] As used herein, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "monoclonal" refer to one antibody or one fragment of an antibody from a population of highly homogenous antibody molecules, i.e., a population of identical antibody molecules except for possible naturally occurring mutations that can arise during production. A monoclonal antibody has high specificity for a single epitope on an antigen. Polyclonal antibodies are in contrast to monoclonal antibodies and generally comprise at least 2 or more different antibodies, which generally recognize different epitopes on an antigen. Monoclonal antibodies can generally be obtained using the hybridoma technology first described by Kohler et al. (Kohler, G., Milstein, C. Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity. Nature 1975; 256(5517): 495), but can also be obtained using recombinant DNA technology (see, e.g., U.S. Patent 4,816,567). G, Milstein C. Continuous cultures of fused cells secreting antibody of predefined specificity [J]. nature, 1975; 256(5517): 495), but can also be obtained using recombinant DNA technology (see, e.g., U.S. Patent 4,816,567).

[0433] As used herein, the term "humanized antibody" refers to an antibody or antibody fragment in which all or a portion of the CDR regions of a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) are replaced by CDR regions of a non-human antibody (donor antibody), which can be a non-human (e.g., mouse, rat, or rabbit) antibody having the desired specificity, affinity, or reactivity. Furthermore, some of the amino acid residues in the framework regions (FRs) of the recipient antibody can be replaced by corresponding amino acid residues of the non-human antibody, or by amino acid residues of other antibodies, to further refine or optimize antibody performance. For further details of humanized antibodies, see, e.g., Jones et al., Nature 1986; 321: 522 525; Reichmann et al., Nature, 1988; 332: 323 329; Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 1992; 2: 593 596; and Clark, Immunol. Today 2000; 21: 397 402. In some instances, the antigen binding fragment of an antibody is a diabody, in which the VHand VLdomains are expressed in a single polypeptide chain, but using a linker that is too short to allow for pairing between the two domains on the same chain, thereby forcing the domains to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and creating two antigen binding sites (see, e.g., Holliger P. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1993; 90: 6444 6448 and Poljak R.J. et al., Structure 1994; 2: 1121 1123).

[0434] As used herein, the term "single chain fragment variable (ScFv)" refers to a molecule comprising an antibody heavy chain variable region (VH) and an antibody light chain variable region (VL) linked by a linker. Wherein the VL and VH domains pair to form a monovalent molecule by a linker that enables it to be produced as a single polypeptide chain (see, e.g., Bird et al, Science 1988; 242:423-426 and Huston et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1988; 85:5879-5883). Such scFv molecules can have the general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art linkers consist of repeating GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 15) amino acid sequences or variants thereof. For example, a linker having the amino acid sequence (GGGGS)4(SEQ ID NO: 16) can be used, but variants thereof can also be used (Holliger et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1993; 90:6444-6448). Other linkers useful in the present application are described by Alfthan et al, Protein Eng. 1995; 8:725-731, Choi et al, Eur. J. Immunol. 2001; 31:94-106, Hu et al, Cancer Res. 1996; 56:3055-3061, Kipriyanov et al, J. Mol. Biol. 1999; 293:41-56 and Roovers et al, Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 2001, 50(1): 51-59.

[0435] As used herein, the terms "single domain antibody (VHH)", "nanobody" have the same meaning, referring to the variable region of the heavy chain of a cloned antibody, a single domain antibody (VHH) consisting of only one heavy chain variable region is constructed, which is the smallest antigen binding fragment with complete function. Usually, after obtaining an antibody naturally lacking a light chain and a heavy chain constant region 1 (CH1), the variable region of the heavy chain of the antibody is cloned to construct a single domain antibody (VHH) consisting of only one heavy chain variable region.

[0436] As used herein, the term "antibody moiety" refers to the antibody portion in an antibody-drug conjugate, which in certain specific protocols is linked to an intermediate linker moiety through a specific functional group, the antibody moiety can specifically bind to an antigen.

[0437] As used herein, the term "linker" refers to a moiety that links an antibody and a cytotoxin, and is classified as cleavable or non-cleavable. Cleavable linkers are mainly sensitive chemical bonds that can be cleaved by specific chemical species (e.g., glutathione, pH, etc.) or enzyme concentrations in the body, facilitating the cleavage of the linker from the drug, and are mainly connected by the form of hydrazone bond, disulfide bond, polypeptide. Non-cleavable linkers do not have built-in chemical bonds that can trigger cleavage, and need to be converted into amino acids by proteolytic mechanisms in cancer cells, thereby releasing cytotoxic drugs with linker and amino acid fragments, and are mainly connected by the form of thioether.

[0438] As used herein, the term "payload" refers to a cytotoxic molecule in an antibody-drug conjugate that is mainly responsible for performing the cell-killing function, which is coupled with an intermediate linker moiety, and enters tumor cells by internalization, and releases cytotoxic molecules under the action of lysosomes, thereby exerting an anti-tumor effect. The common target is DNA in the nucleus and tubulin in the cytoplasm.

[0439] As used herein, the term "DAR (drug-to-antibody ratio)" refers to the average number of small molecule drugs coupled to each antibody molecule. DAR is one of the important quality attributes of ADC. According to the chemical properties of the linker and the small molecule cytotoxin, as well as the coupling method (amino coupling, thiol coupling, site-specific coupling, etc.), common characterization analysis methods include ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, hydrophobic chromatography, reverse phase chromatography, and mass spectrometry (MS).

[0440] As used herein, the term "specifically binds" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and the antigen it targets. In certain embodiments, an antibody that specifically binds to (or has specificity for) an antigen means that the antibody binds to the antigen with an affinity (KD) of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 -6 M, 10 -7 M, 10 -8 M, 10 -9 M, or 10 -10 M or less.

[0441] As used herein, the term "KD" refers to the dissociation equilibrium constant of a particular antibody-antigen interaction, which is used to describe the binding affinity between an antibody and an antigen. The smaller the equilibrium dissociation constant, the tighter the antibody-antigen binding, and the higher the affinity between the antibody and the antigen. Generally, an antibody binds to an antigen with an affinity (KD) of less than about 10 -5 M, for example, less than about 10 -6 M, 10 -7M, 10- 8 M, 10 - 9 M, or 10 -10 M or smaller dissociation equilibrium constant (KD) binds to the antigen. KD can be determined using methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, using a Fortebio molecular interaction instrument.

[0442] As used herein, the terms "monoclonal antibody" and "monoclonal" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably; the terms "polyclonal antibody" and "polyclonal" have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. Also in the present application, amino acids are generally represented by either the one-letter and three-letter abbreviations well-known in the art. For example, alanine can be represented by A or Ala.

[0443] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient" refers to a carrier and / or excipient that is compatible, in pharmacological and / or physiological terms, with the subject and active ingredient, which is well-known in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Edited by Gennaro AR, 19th ed. Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995), and includes, but is not limited to, pH adjusting agents, surfactants, adjuvants, ionic strength enhancers. For example, pH adjusting agents include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers; surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic, anionic or non-ionic surfactants, such as Tween-80; ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride.

[0444] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount sufficient to achieve or at least partially achieve a desired effect. For example, an effective amount for preventing a disease (e.g., a tumor) refers to an amount sufficient to prevent, arrest, or delay the onset of the disease (e.g., a tumor); an effective amount for treating a disease refers to an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the disease and its complications in an already afflicted patient. Determining such effective amounts is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. For example, an effective amount for therapeutic use will depend on the severity of the disease to be treated, the general state of the patient's own immune system, the general condition of the patient, such as age, body weight, and sex, the mode of administration of the drug, and other therapies concurrently administered, and the like.

[0445] In the present application, if not otherwise specified, the "first" (e.g., first active ingredient) and "second" (e.g., second active ingredient) are merely for the purpose of distinction in terms of reference or clarity in expression, and do not have the typical meaning of order.

[0551] Preparation Example 3: Preparation of Anti-HER3 antibody-drug conjugate KA0013

[0552] The structures of KA0013 and KA0011 are shown below in Table 1.

[0553] Table 1

[0554]

[0555] wherein GGFG is represented as SEQ ID NO: 20.

[0556] An antibody-drug conjugate is obtained by forming a thioether bond in the disulfide bond site present in the hinge region of an anti-HER3 antibody, wherein the anti-HER3 antibody is treated under reducing conditions and then reacted with a compound (e.g., Formula II) to form the antibody-drug conjugate. Specifically, the reaction of the compound with the antibody having a thiol group can produce the antibody-drug conjugate.

[0557] An antibody having a thiol group can be obtained using a method known in the art (Hermanson, G. T, Bioconjugate Techniques, pp. 56-136, 456-493, Academic Press (1996)). Examples include: reaction of Traut's reagent with the amino group of the antibody; reaction of N-succinimidyl S-acetylthioalkanoate with the amino group of the antibody followed by reaction with hydroxylamine; reaction with a reducing agent after reaction with N-succinimidyl 3-(pyridyldithio)propionate; reaction of the antibody with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol, and tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) to reduce the disulfide bond of the hinge portion within the antibody to form a thiol group, but it is not limited thereto.

[0558] Specifically, an antibody in which the disulfide bond of the hinge portion within the antibody is partially or completely reduced can be obtained by using 0.3 to 10 molar equivalents of TCEP as a reducing agent, in relation to 1 disulfide bond of the hinge portion within the antibody, and reacting it with the antibody in a buffer containing a chelating agent. Examples of the chelating agent include ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA).

[0559] It can be at a concentration of 1 mM to 20 mM. Examples of the buffer that can be used include a sodium phosphate solution, a sodium borate solution, or a sodium acetate solution. Specifically, an antibody having a thiol group that is partially or completely reduced can be obtained by reacting the antibody with TCEP at 4°C to 37°C for 1 to 4 hours.

[0560] Meanwhile, by performing a reaction in which a thiol group is added to the drug-linker moiety, the drug-linker moiety can be coupled through a thioether bond.

[0561] In relation to 1 antibody having a thiol group, 2 to 20 molar equivalents of the compound can be used to produce an antibody-drug conjugate in which 2 to 8 drug molecules are coupled per 1 antibody. Specifically, it is sufficient to add a solution in which the compound is dissolved to a buffer containing the antibody having a thiol group to perform the reaction. Here, examples of the buffer that can be used include a sodium acetate solution, a sodium phosphate, and a sodium borate. The pH of the reaction is 5 to 9, and more preferably the reaction is performed at around pH 7. Examples of the solvent used to dissolve the compound (1) include organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMA), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).

[0562] The solution of the organic solvent in which the compound is dissolved can be added to the buffer containing the antibody having a thiol group at 1 to 20% v / v to perform the reaction. The reaction temperature is 0 to 37°C, more preferably 10 to 25°C, and the reaction time is 0.5 to 2 hours.

[0563] After the conjugation, the manufactured antibody-drug conjugate can be subjected to buffer exchange, measurement of the antibody concentration and average number of drugs per antibody molecule to identify the antibody-drug conjugate.

[0564] Common Operation A: Measurement of Antibody Concentration

[0565] The measurement of the antibody concentration was performed using a UV detector (Nanodrop 1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) according to the method specified by the manufacturer. At this time, the known calculation method (Protein Science, 1995, Vol. 4, 2411-2423) can be used to calculate the theoretical absorbance coefficient at 280 nm according to the amino acid sequence of the antibody, such as 1.768 mL·mg -1 ·cm -1 of the absorbance coefficient at 280 nm according to the amino acid sequence of Patritumab as a presumption value.

[0566] Common Operation B: Buffer Exchange of Antibody-Drug Conjugate

[0567] The antibody-drug conjugate was subjected to ultrafiltration concentration and dialysis using an ultrafiltration membrane pack (Millipore P3C030C00, 30 kDa) according to the method specified by the manufacturer, and the dialysis was performed 10 times.

[0568] Common Operation C: Measurement of Average Number of Drugs per Antibody Molecule in Antibody-Drug Conjugate

[0569] The average number of drugs per antibody molecule in the antibody-drug conjugate was measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry:

[0570] The sample was diluted with water to 2 mg / mL, 50 μL of the diluted sample was taken, 1 μL of 0.5 M TCEP was added, and the reaction was performed at room temperature for 30 min, and then the sample was prepared for injection. The chromatographic column was MabPac RP (2.1 x 50 mm), the mobile phase was mobile phase A-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution, mobile phase B-0.1% formic acid acetonitrile solution, the injection amount was 2 μg, the column temperature was 80°C, and the detection wavelength was 280 nm.

[0571] The liquid phase gradient was as shown in Table 2 below.

[0577] A specific conjugation example is as follows.

[0578] Reduction of antibody: Partritumab was diluted to about 10 mg / mL using phosphate buffer PB / EDTA (15 mM Na2HPO4, 5 mM NaH2PO4, 5 mM EDTA-2Na, pH 7.0). The antibody solution (100 mL) was added to a beaker at room temperature, followed by the addition of 10 mM TCEP aqueous solution (6.8 mL; 10.0 equivalents relative to one antibody molecule), and stirring using a magnetic stirrer, and incubated at room temperature for 3 hours to reduce the disulfide bond of the hinge part of the antibody.

[0579] Conjugation of antibody with drug linker: 10 mM KA0012-containing DMSO solution (7.48 mL; 11.0 equivalents relative to one antibody molecule) was slowly added thereto. Stirring at room temperature for 1 hour to conjugate the drug linker with the antibody.

[0580] Purification: ultrafiltration concentration exchange was performed using an ultrafiltration membrane bag, and the buffer was replaced into a formulation buffer while removing unconjugated drug linkers and other low molecular weight reagents, and the solution was concentrated. The resulting purified solution was subjected to sterilization filtration to obtain a solution containing antibody-drug conjugate KA0013.

[0581] Measurement of antibody concentration using Common Operation A: 23.64 mg / mL, measurement of average number of drug molecules conjugated per one antibody molecule (n) in KA0013 using Common Operation C: 7.87.

[0614] Nomenclature Structure Anti-Trop2-MMAE hRS7(G1TM)-mc-vc-PAB-MMAE

[0615] Mc-vc-PAB-MMAE, also known as VcMMAE, is a MMAE derivative with a valine-citrulline (Vc) linker for the synthesis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). Among them, Mc-VC-PAB is a cleavable ADC linker, and MMAE (Monomethyl auristatin E) is a synthetic antitumor drug and also a microtubulin inhibitor, which can be effectively released from VcMMAE in vitro and exert cytotoxic activity.

[0616] The structure of mc-vc-PAB-MMAE is shown in the following formula VI:

[0617]

[0618] An antibody-drug conjugate is obtained by forming a thioether bond in the disulfide bond site present in the hinge portion of the anti-Trop2 antibody, wherein the anti-Trop2 antibody is treated under reducing conditions, and then reacted with a compound (such as Formula II) to form an antibody-drug conjugate. Specifically, the reaction of the compound with the antibody having a thiol group can produce an antibody-drug conjugate.

[0619] The antibody having a thiol group can be obtained using a method known in the art (Hermanson, G. T, Bioconjugate Techniques, pp. 56-136, 456-493, Academic Press (1996)). Examples include: reaction of Traut's reagent with the amino group of the antibody; reaction of N-succinimidyl S-acetylthioalkanoate with the amino group of the antibody followed by reaction with hydroxylamine; reaction with a reducing agent after reaction with N-succinimidyl 3-(pyridyldithio)propionate; reaction of the antibody with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol, and tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) to reduce the disulfide bond of the hinge portion within the antibody to form a thiol group, but it is not limited thereto.

[0620] Specifically, an antibody in which the disulfide bond of the hinge portion within the antibody is partially or completely reduced can be obtained by using 0.3 to 10 molar equivalents of TCEP as a reducing agent, reacting it with the antibody in a buffer, with respect to 1 disulfide bond of the hinge portion within the antibody.

[0621] It can be at a concentration of 1 mM to 20 mM. Examples of the buffer that can be used include a phosphate buffer system, a histidine-histidine hydrochloride buffer system, or a citric acid-sodium citrate buffer system. Specifically, an antibody having a partially or completely reduced thiol group can be obtained by reacting the antibody with TCEP at 4°C to 37°C for 1 to 24 hours.

[0622] Meanwhile, by performing a reaction in which a thiol group is added to the drug-linker moiety, the drug-linker moiety can be coupled through a sulfide bond.

[0623] With respect to 1 antibody having a thiol group, 2 to 20 molar equivalents of the compound can be used to produce an antibody-drug conjugate in which 2 to 8 drug molecules are coupled per 1 antibody. Specifically, it is sufficient to add a solution in which the compound is dissolved to a buffer containing the antibody having a thiol group to perform the reaction. Here, examples of the buffer that can be used include a phosphate buffer system, a histidine-histidine hydrochloride buffer system, or a citric acid-sodium citrate buffer system. The pH of the reaction is 5 to 9, and more preferably the reaction is performed at around pH 7. Examples of the solvent used to dissolve the compound (1) include organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMA), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).

[0624] The solution of the organic solvent in which the compound is dissolved can be added to the buffer containing the antibody having a thiol group in 1 to 20% v / v to perform the reaction. The reaction temperature is 0 to 37°C, more preferably 10 to 25°C, and the reaction time is 0.5 to 2 hours.

[0625] After the conjugation, the manufactured antibody-drug conjugate can be subjected to buffer exchange, measurement of the antibody concentration and average number of drugs per antibody molecule to identify the antibody-drug conjugate.

[0626] Common Operation A: Measurement of Antibody Concentration

[0627] The measurement of the antibody concentration was performed using a UV detector (Nanodrop 1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) according to the method prescribed by the manufacturer. At this time, the known calculation method (Protein Science, 1995, Vol. 4, 2411-2423) can be used to calculate the theoretical absorbance coefficient at 280 nm according to the amino acid sequence of the antibody, such as 1.560 mL·mg -1 ·cm -1 of the absorbance coefficient at 280 nm according to the amino acid sequence of hRS7 (G1TM) monoclonal antibody was used as a presumptive value.

[0628] Common Operation B: Buffer Exchange of Antibody-Drug Conjugate

[0629] The antibody-drug conjugate was subjected to ultrafiltration concentration and dialysis using an ultrafiltration membrane pack (Sartorius Hysard, 30 kDa) according to the method prescribed by the manufacturer, and the dialysis was performed 10 times.

[0630] Common Operation C: Measurement of Average Number of Drugs per Antibody Molecule in Antibody-Drug Conjugate

[0631] The average number of drugs per antibody molecule in the antibody-drug conjugate was measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry:

[0632] The sample was diluted with water to 2 mg / mL, 50 μL of the diluted sample was taken, 1 μL of 0.5 M TCEP was added, and the reaction was performed at room temperature for 30 min, and then the sample was prepared for injection. The chromatographic column was MabPac RP (2.1 x 50 mm), the mobile phase was mobile phase A-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution, mobile phase B-0.1% formic acid acetonitrile solution, the injection amount was 2 μg, the column temperature was 80°C, and the detection wavelength was 280 nm.

[0633] The liquid phase gradient was as shown in Table 4 below.

[0635]

[0636] DAR values are calculated from the values of the individual component signals.

[0637]

[0638] In the above formula, LCn represents the signal value of a light chain coupled with n linkers-payloads, and HCn represents the signal value of a heavy chain coupled with n linkers-payloads.

[0639] A specific coupling example is as follows.

[0640] Reduction of the antibody: 10 mM TCEP aqueous solution (10.0 equivalents relative to one antibody molecule) was added to the anti-Trop2 antibody, and stirring was performed using a magnetic stirrer, and incubation was performed at room temperature for 3 hours to reduce the disulfide bond of the hinge portion of the antibody.

[0641] Coupling of the antibody with the drug linker: 10 mM VcMMAE (mc-vc-PAB-MMAE, purchased from MedChemExpress, item number: HY-15575) in DMSO solution (5.0 equivalents relative to one antibody molecule) was slowly added thereto. Stirring was performed at room temperature for 1 hour to couple the drug linker with the antibody.

[0642] Purification: ultrafiltration concentration exchange was performed using an ultrafiltration membrane bag, and the buffer was replaced with a formulation buffer while removing the un-coupled drug linker and other low molecular weight reagents, and the solution was concentrated. The obtained purified solution was subjected to sterilization filtration to obtain a solution containing the antibody-drug conjugate Anti-Trop2-MMAE.
