Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application 202410795405.2, filed on June 19, 2024. This application incorporates the entire text of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of pharmaceutical compositions, in particular to a multispecific antibody pharmaceutical composition targeting CD3, MSLN and PD-L1, a preparation method thereof and uses thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] Mesothelin (MSLN) is a cell surface glycoprotein encoded by the MSLN gene. MSLN is highly expressed in mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, endometrial cancer, thymic carcinoma, colon cancer and breast cancer, etc. compared to normal tissues, and its abnormal expression plays an important role in tumor cell proliferation, adhesion and drug resistance. PD-L1, also known as B7-H1 or CD274, is the first characterized functional ligand of the coinhibitory programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1). Studies have found that PD-L1 is highly expressed in different types of tumors, including melanoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer and renal cancer. PD-L1 plays a key role in preventing autoimmunity in normal tissues and maintaining peripheral tolerance. Tumor cells can use the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway to evade anti-tumor immune responses and eventually spread and metastasize. Therefore, blocking the PD-1 / PD-L1 signaling pathway can activate the endogenous anti-tumor immune response, thereby exerting a therapeutic effect on tumors.
[0004] Currently, T cell engage (TCE) drugs based on CD3 bispecific antibodies for the treatment of solid tumors have received extensive attention. TCE contains two domains, one domain binds to CD3 of T cells, and the other domain targets and binds to cancer cells. The molecular design is used to help T cells recognize cancer cells and fully activate, release cytokines such as TNFα, perforin, granzyme B, IFN-γ, etc., and kill cancer cells. MSLN is a TAA of solid tumors, and the related multi-drug is still under research, among which HPN536 has a faster clinical progress. However, in clinical applications, TCE treatment of solid tumors is not effective, there is a risk of CRS, or T cell overactivation leads to T cell dysfunction, etc. Therefore, there is a need in the art to develop T cell activation multispecific antibody drugs with better performance.
[0005] However, multispecific antibodies are prone to degradation, aggregation or undesired chemical modification due to their large molecular weight and complex structure, thus becoming unstable. In order to make multispecific antibodies suitable for administration and maintain stability during storage and use, and to achieve better effects, it is particularly important to study stable multispecific antibody drug formulations.

[0100] Definitions of terms
[0101] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. For the purposes of the present application, the following terms are defined below.
[0102] As used herein, the term "and / or" means any one of the items, or any two or more of the items, optionally in combination.
[0103] As used herein, the term "comprising" or "including" means including the recited elements or steps, but not excluding any other elements or steps. When used herein, the term "comprising" or "including" also contemplates embodiments consisting of the recited elements or steps in combination with any additional elements or steps. For example, when referring to an antibody variable region "comprising" a particular sequence, an antibody variable region consisting of the particular sequence is also contemplated.
[0104] The term "antibody", as used herein, refers to a molecule derived from an immunoglobulin that is capable of specifically binding to a target antigen through at least one antigen-combining site located in its variable region. When the term "antibody" is used, it is intended to encompass not only intact antibodies, but also antigen-binding fragments of antibodies that are capable of specifically binding to a target antigen. An "intact antibody" typically comprises two pairs of polypeptide chains (each pair having one light (LC) and one heavy (HC) chain). The light chains can be classified as kappa (kappa) and lambda (lambda) light chains. The heavy chains can be classified as mu, delta, gamma, alpha, or epsilon, and define the isotype of an antibody as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within light and heavy chains, the variable region and the constant region are joined by a "J" region of about 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain further comprises a "D" region of about 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain is comprised 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 comprised 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 domains are not directly involved in binding of an antibody to an antigen, but exhibit various effector functions, such as mediating 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 be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). 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, FR4. The variable regions of each heavy / light chain pair form the antigen binding site.
[0105] The term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" as used herein refers to amino acid residues in the variable region of an antibody that are responsible for antigen binding. There are three CDRs in each of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, designated CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3. The precise boundaries of these CDRs can be defined according to various numbering systems known in the art, e.g., as defined by the Rabat numbering system (Rabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), the Chothia numbering system (Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883), the IMGT numbering system (Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003), the AbM numbering system (Martin ACR, Cheetham JC, Rees AR (1989) Modelling antibody hypervariable loops: A combined algorithm. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86:9268-9272), or the Contact numbering system (MacCallum, R.M., Martin, A.C.R., & Thornton, J.M. (1996). Antibody-antigen Interactions: Contact Analysis and Binding Site Topography. Journal of Molecular Biology, 262(5), 732-745.). For a given antibody, one of skill in the art will readily be able to identify the CDRs defined by each numbering system. And, the correspondence between different numbering systems is well known to one of skill in the art.
[0106] In the present application, the CDRs contained by the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present application can be determined according to various numbering systems known in the art, for example, by the Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, AbM or Contact numbering system. In certain embodiments, the CDRs contained by the anti-CD3 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof involved in the present application are determined by the Kabat numbering system. In certain embodiments, the CDRs contained by the anti-MSLN or PD-L1 single-domain antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof involved in the present application are determined by the Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, AbM or Contact numbering system.
[0107] As used herein, the term "single-domain antibody (sdAb)" has the meaning generally understood by those skilled in the art, which refers to an antibody fragment composed of a single monomeric variable antibody domain (e.g., a single heavy chain variable region), typically derived from the variable region of a heavy chain antibody (e.g., a camelid antibody or a shark antibody). Typically, a nanobody consists of 4 framework regions and 3 complementarity determining regions, with the structure of FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. A single-domain antibody can be truncated at the N- or C-terminus to include only part of FR1 and / or FR4, or lack one or both of those framework regions, as long as it substantially retains antigen binding and specificity. A single-domain antibody is also known as a nanobody, and the two are used interchangeably. In the present text, the term "antigen-binding fragment" of a single-domain antibody refers to a polypeptide comprising a fragment of a single-domain antibody that retains the ability to specifically bind the same antigen to which the single-domain antibody binds, and / or competes with the single-domain antibody for specific binding to the antigen. An antigen-binding fragment of a single-domain antibody of the present application can be produced by recombinant DNA technology or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of a single-domain antibody of the present application. In some embodiments, the "antigen-binding fragment" of the single-domain antibody can be truncated at the N- or C-terminus to include only part of FR1 and / or FR4, or lack one or both of those framework regions, as long as it substantially retains antigen binding and specificity, as compared to the full-length single-domain antibody.

[0159] Example 3: Investigation of the thermal stability of CD3 / MSLN / PD-L1 trispecific antibody preparation
[0160] According to the prescription information in Table 2, 5Y3-16 antibody preparations with an antibody concentration of 20 mg / mL were prepared. The antibody preparations were filtered with a microporous filter membrane, sampled, and the thermal stability of 5Y3-16 in each group of prescriptions was determined. Among them, the acetate buffer system in the example is acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer, the citrate buffer is citric acid-sodium citrate buffer, the succinate buffer is succinic acid-sodium succinate buffer, the histidine salt buffer is histidine-histidine hydrochloride buffer, and the phosphate buffer is disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer.
[0161] The Tm and Tagg values were determined by a protein stability detector (uncle). The changes in the endogenous fluorescence emission properties of aromatic amino acids in the antibody molecule were detected by full-wavelength fluorescence detection, and then the antibody denaturation curve was obtained, and the thermal denaturation temperature Tm value was quantitatively calculated. The antibody aggregation stability was detected by static light scattering technology, and the increase in scattering light signal caused by aggregation was determined to determine the protein aggregation initiation temperature Tagg value.

[0166] Note: "Tm value" refers to the thermal denaturation temperature of the antibody, i.e. the temperature at which half of the protein is unfolded, at which the spatial structure of the antibody is destroyed, Tml and Tm2 are two thermal denaturation temperatures detected by the antibody in the thermal stability test. "Tonset value" refers to the temperature at which the antibody begins to unfold. "Tagg value" refers to the initial temperature at which the antibody forms aggregates. Therefore, the higher the Tm value, Tonset value, and Tagg value, the higher the thermal stability of the antibody.
[0167] The results are shown in Table 3, which shows that the suitable pH range of the 5Y3-16 antibody is 4.5-7.0, and the Tm of the 5Y3-16 antibody is >53°C and the Tagg is >53°C in the pH range of 4.5-7.0 in the 5 buffer systems (acetate buffer system, citrate buffer system, histidine buffer system, succinate buffer system, and phosphate buffer system), indicating good thermal stability.
[0168] Example 4: Investigation of the effects of pH and buffer type
[0169] According to the prescription information in Table 4, 5Y3-16 antibody formulations with a concentration of 20 mg / mL were prepared. The drug solution was filtered with a microporous filter membrane, and then was divided into aliquots for stability investigation. The stability investigation conditions were 40°C for 2 weeks, 5°C for 4 weeks, -20°C to room temperature for 5 freeze-thaw cycles, and -80°C to room temperature for 5 freeze-thaw cycles, respectively.

[0177] 1) Freeze-thaw: After 5 freeze-thaw cycles at -20°C to room temperature and 5 freeze-thaw cycles at -80°C to room temperature, respectively, the appearance of each prescription in Table 4 remained colorless and clear without visible foreign matter. In terms of DLS, SEC, and nr-CE-SDS, there was no significant change compared with T0. This indicates that the 5Y3-16 antibody can maintain stability after freeze-thaw in the prescriptions in Table 4.
[0178] 2) 5°C 4 weeks: After 4 weeks storage at 5°C, the appearance of each formulation in Table 4 remained colorless and clear with no visible particulate. There were no significant changes in DLS, SEC and nr-CE-SDS compared to TO. This indicated that 5Y3-16 antibody could be stable in the formulations in Table 4 for 4 weeks at 2-8°C.
[0179] 3) 40°C 2 weeks: After 2 weeks storage at 40°C, the appearance of each formulation in Table 4 remained colorless and clear with no visible particulate. There was a significant increase in antibody particle size in formulation F3 in DLS compared to TO. There were no significant changes in all other formulations compared to TO. In SEC, the purity of the main peak decreased by ~16% in formulation F3; the purity of the main peak decreased by ~6% in formulation F5; the purity of the main peak decreased by <5% in all other formulations. In nr-CE-SDS, the purity of the main peak decreased by 5% in formulation F3; the purity of the main peak decreased by ~6% in formulation F10; the purity of the main peak decreased by <5% in all other formulations.
[0180] In summary, 5Y3-16 antibody was stable in 20 mM acetate buffer (pH range 4.5-5.0), 20 mM histidine buffer (pH range 5.0-6.0), 20 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0), 20 mM succinate buffer (pH range 5.0-6.0) and 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH range 6.0-7.0). 5Y3-16 antibody was relatively less stable in 20 mM citrate buffer (pH 5.0). In the same buffer system, the purity of the main peak decreased less in the formulations with pH 6.0 than in the formulations with pH 5.0 (histidine salt buffer F4 decreased by ~3.9%, F7 decreased by ~1.8%; succinate buffer F5 decreased by ~6.2%, F8 decreased by ~3.9%) after 2 weeks storage at 40°C, so pH 6.0 was slightly better than pH 5.0.
[0181] Example 5: Investigation of the effect of pH and buffer concentration
[0182] Formulations F13-F22 in Table 6 were used to prepare 5Y3-16 antibody formulations with a concentration of 10 mg / mL. The solutions were filtered through a microporous membrane and were aliquoted into 3 mL vials for stability investigation. The stability investigation conditions were 40°C for 2 weeks and -40°C to room temperature for 5 freeze-thaw cycles.

[0187]
[0188] Note: 1) T0 represents initial 0 point; 2) FT5 represents freeze-thaw 5 times; 3) w represents week.
[0189] The pH / buffer system concentration screening results are shown in Table 7, and the results show that:
[0190] 1) Freeze-thaw: After 5 times of freeze-thaw from -40℃ to room temperature, the appearance of the 10 formulations in Table 6 remained colorless and clear without visible foreign matter. There was no significant change in insoluble particles, SEC and nr-CE-SDS compared with T0. It showed that the 5Y3-16 antibody could maintain stability after freeze-thaw in the formulations in Table 6.
[0191] 2) 40℃ 2 weeks: After 2 weeks at 40℃, the appearance of the 10 formulations in Table 6 remained colorless and clear without visible foreign matter. In terms of insoluble particles, all formulations met the quality requirements of the pharmacopoeia. In terms of SEC, the purity of the main peak of the antibody in all formulations decreased by <5%; among them, in the acetate system, the purity of the main peak of the antibody showed a downward trend with the increase of acetate concentration at pH 5.0. In terms of nr-CE-SDS, the purity of the main peak of each formulation decreased by <5%, and there was no significant difference between groups.
[0192] In summary, the stability of 5Y3-16 antibody was good in the acetate system (10, 20, 40, 60 mM, pH range 4.5-5.5) and the histidine salt system (20 mM, pH range 5.5-6.5).
[0193] Example 6: Investigation of the influence of stabilizers and surfactants
[0194] According to the F15, F23-F32, F39-F40 formulation information in Table 8, 5Y3-16 antibody formulations with an antibody concentration of 10 mg / mL were prepared. The filtrate was divided into 3 mL vials and subjected to stability investigation. The stability investigation conditions were 40℃ 2 weeks and -40℃ to room temperature freeze-thaw 5 times, respectively.
[0195] Among them, the addition method of 0.2% methionine is to first prepare a high-concentration methionine aqueous solution and then add it to the antibody solution to achieve the final target concentration; the addition method of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate is the same. The addition method of nitrogen protection is to fill an appropriate amount of nitrogen into the antibody formulation container and solution to reduce the oxygen content.

[0203] The stabilizer and surfactant investigation results are shown in Table 9, and the results show that:
[0204] 1) Stabilizer: Sucrose, trehalose and sorbitol have good stability effects on 5Y3-16 antibody. The 80 mg / mL sucrose concentration has the same stability effect as the 120 mg / mL sucrose concentration. After adding the metal ion chelator disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate or the antioxidant methionine or nitrogen protection, the SEC and ar-CE purities do not decrease by more than 3% under the condition of 40°C for 2W, and the preparations in each group are stable. After adding sodium chloride, the SEC purity decreases by about 10% under the condition of 40°C for 2W, indicating that it induces aggregation of 5Y3-16 antibody.
[0205] 2) Surfactant: Polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80 and poloxamer 188 have good stability effects on 5Y3-16 antibody. There is no significant difference among the preparations containing 0.05 mg / mL-0.5 mg / mL of polysorbate 80, and the SEC and ar-CE purities do not decrease by more than 3%, and the preparations in each group are relatively stable.
