[0001] 1. Cross-references to related applications This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 514,784, filed July 20, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] 2. Sequence List This application contains an electronic sequence list, which has been submitted with this application in XML file format, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The sequence list XML file submitted with this application is titled "14529-152-228_SEQ_LISTING.xml", was created on July 17, 2024, and has a size of 159,402 bytes. 3. Technical Field This disclosure generally relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that bind to tyrosine protein kinase membrane receptor 1 (ROR1, such as human ROR1) and methods of using them. 4. Background Technology Many tumors can exhibit cell surface expression of tyrosine protein kinase transmembrane receptor (ROR) antigens, such as those observed by Gentile et al. ( Cancer Res ; 71(8) April 15, 2011), Rebagay et al. ( Front. Oncol (April 18, 2012), Zhang et al. () American Journal of Pathology, Volume 181, Issue 6, December 2012), Henry et al. ( Oncotarget Volume 6, Issue 37, 2015), Zhang et al. ( PLoS ONE 7(3): e31127) and Bainbridge et al. ( PLoS ONE A more detailed description can be found in 9(7): e102695, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Furthermore, ROR expression may not be present in normal tissues (e.g., non-cancerous tissues), or may only show limited expression, as described by Balakrishnan et al. ( Clin Cancer Res The full text of the article described in (June 15, 2017; 23(12): 3061-3071) is incorporated herein by reference. Therefore, the ROR antigen can be used as a tumor-specific marker for certain tumors. Examples of tumors and cancers exhibiting ROR expression include, but are not limited to, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, melanoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, and B-ALL, such as Gohil et al. ( OncoimmunologyThe full text of the paper described in 2017; 6(7): e1326437 is incorporated herein by reference. Other cancers include, but are not limited to, hematologic malignancies, prostate cancer, colon cancer, kidney cancer, and uterine cancer. Gohil et al. describe the use of ROR multispecific antibodies constructed on various antibody platforms for targeting tumors in International Applications WO 2017 / 053469, WO 2014 / 167022, U.S. Publication No. 2017 / 0198045, WO 2016 / 094873, WO 2017 / 127499, and WO 2016 / 142768, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0005] Therefore, ROR antigen-binding molecules have therapeutic potential in cancer treatment. Multispecific ROR-binding molecules that bind to T cell surface antigens in addition to ROR antigens have the potential to redirect T cells to kill ROR-expressing cancer cells.

[0006] There is still a need in the field for ADCs that can target ROR to treat, prevent or alleviate ROR-mediated diseases, conditions or disorders, such as cancer. 5. Summary of the Invention This disclosure provides an ADC (“ROR1-ADC”) comprising an antibody that binds to tyrosine protein kinase receptor 1. In some embodiments, such a ROR1-ADC binds to the same epitope of human ROR1 as the antibody described herein comprising a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL).

[0008] This disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a ROR1-ADC comprising an antibody or a fragment thereof (“ROR1 antibody”) that binds to ROR1 and a drug (directly or indirectly) conjugated thereto. In some embodiments, such pharmaceutical compositions comprise a ROR1-ADC comprising an antibody or a fragment thereof that binds to substantially the same epitope of human ROR1 as the antibodies comprising VH and VL described herein.

[0009] This disclosure also provides methods for treating, preventing, or alleviating ROR1-mediated diseases, conditions, or disorders, such as using ROR1-ADCs to alleviate one or more symptoms of ROR1-mediated diseases, conditions, or disorders.

[0010] More specifically, this disclosure provides a ROR1-ADC comprising (a) a ROR1 antibody and (b) one or more pyridazine-pyrroloconjugated moieties, said moieties comprising a drug conjugated to said pyridazine-pyrroloconjugated moieties via a linker, for example, using hydrazine- different-Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) concatenation method.

[0011] Traditionally, the HIPS conjugation method has been used to generate conjugates in which each HIPS moiety on each aldehyde tag carries one payload, resulting in antibody conjugates with DAR values ​​up to 4. In some embodiments, such as the ROR1-ADC disclosed herein, a branched-chain HIPS linker is included, in which each HIPS moiety carries two (or more) identical or different payload molecules, thus enabling the conjugation of two (or more) small molecule payloads on each aldehyde group of the protein in a single conjugation step. Therefore, the use of such branched linker allows for the generation of conjugates with higher DAR site specificity (e.g., DAR up to 8) with controlled payload placement, which in the context of therapeutic ADCs would result in the delivery of greater amounts of agent to the target tissue.

[0012] This disclosure provides ROR1-ADC structures, each comprising (a) a ROR1 antibody, (b) a branched-chain HIPS linker, and (c) a drug. This disclosure also covers compounds and methods for generating such conjugates, as well as methods for using said conjugates.

[0133] It should be understood that polymers obtained by defining substituents having other substituents against themselves (e.g., a substituted aryl group having a substituted aryl group as a substituent, the substituent itself being substituted by the substituted aryl group, the substituted aryl group being further substituted by the substituted aryl group, etc.) among all the substituted groups defined above are not intended to be included herein. In such cases, the maximum number of such substitutions is 3. For example, the sequential substitution of a substituted aryl group that is particularly considered herein is limited to substituted aryl-(substituted aryl)-substituted aryl.

[0134] Unless otherwise indicated, the naming of substituents not explicitly defined herein is accomplished by naming the terminal portion of the functional group, followed by naming the adjacent functional group toward the junction. For example, the substituent “arylalkoxycarbonyl” refers to the group (aryl)-(alkyl)-OC(O)-.

[0135] For any group containing one or more substituents disclosed herein, it should be understood that such group does not contain any substitution or substitution pattern that is sterically impractical and / or synthetically infeasible. Furthermore, the subject compounds also include all stereochemical isomers arising from the substitution of these compounds.

[0136] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" means a salt (a salt in which the counterion has acceptable mammalian safety under a given dosing regimen) that is acceptable to administer to patients (such as mammals). Such salts can be derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases and pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic acids. "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound derived from various organic and inorganic counterions well known in the art, and by way of example only, includes sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, tetraalkylammonium, etc.; and when the molecule contains a basic functional group, it refers to a salt of an organic or inorganic acid, such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, formate, tartrate, benzenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, acetate, maleate, oxalate, etc.

[0137] The term "its salt" refers to a compound formed when the proton of an acid is replaced by a cation (such as a metal cation or an organic cation). Where applicable, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, except for salts of intermediate compounds not intended for administration to a patient. For example, salts of the compounds of the present invention include those where the compound is protonated by an inorganic or organic acid to form a cation and the conjugate base of the inorganic or organic acid is the anionic component of the salt.

[0138] A solvate is a complex formed by the combination of solvent molecules and solute molecules or ions. Solvents can be organic compounds, inorganic compounds, or mixtures of both. Some examples of solvents include, but are not limited to, methanol. N , N - Dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide, and water.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other tautomeristic ring arrangements are also possible.

[0141] It should be understood that the term "or its salt or solvate or stereoisomer" is intended to include all arrangements of salts, solvates and stereoisomers, such as solvates of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of stereoisomers of the subject compound.

[0142] "Pharmaceutical effective amount" and "therapeutic effective amount" refer to the amount of a compound sufficient to treat a specified condition or disease or one or more of its symptoms and / or prevent the occurrence of said disease or condition. In the case of tumorigenic proliferative diseases, a pharmaceutically or therapeutically effective amount includes, in particular, an amount sufficient to shrink a tumor or reduce its growth rate.

[0143] "Prophylactic effective amount" is the amount of a pharmaceutical composition that, when administered to a subject, produces the intended preventive effect (e.g., preventing or delaying the onset (or recurrence) of a disease, condition, or disorder, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or recurrence) of a disease, condition, or disorder or related symptoms).

[0144] A complete therapeutic or preventative effect may not occur with the administration of a single dose, but may only occur after a series of doses. Therefore, an effective dose for treatment or prevention may be administered in one or more administrations.

[0145] "Patients" refers to human and non-human subjects, especially mammalian subjects.

[0146] As used herein, the term “treating / treatment” means treatment of a disease or medical condition in a patient (e.g., a mammal, particularly a human), including: (a) preventing the occurrence of said disease or medical condition, such as by administering preventive treatment to a subject; (b) improving said disease or medical condition, such as by eliminating or resolving said disease or medical condition in the patient; (c) inhibiting said disease or medical condition, such as by slowing or preventing the development of said disease or medical condition in the patient; or (d) alleviating the symptoms of said disease or medical condition in the patient.

[0147] In some implementation schemes, the term "treatment" excludes preventative treatment.

[0152] The term "subject" refers to both human and non-human subjects, especially mammalian subjects.

[0153] As used herein, the term “natural amino acid sequence” refers to the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide prior to its modification to include modified amino acid residues.

[0154] The terms "amino acid analog," "non-natural amino acid," etc., are used interchangeably and include amino acid compounds that are structurally and / or in overall shape similar to one or more amino acids commonly found in naturally occurring proteins (e.g., Ala or A, Cys or C, Asp or D, Glu or E, Phe or F, Gly or G, His or H, Ile or I, Lys or K, Leu or L, Met or M, Asn or N, Pro or P, Gln or Q, Arg or R, Ser or S, Thr or T, Val or V, Trp or W, Tyr or Y). Amino acid analogs also include natural amino acids having modified side chains or backbones. Amino acid analogs also include amino acid analogs having the same stereochemistry as naturally occurring D-type amino acids, as well as L-type amino acid analogs. In some embodiments, amino acid analogs share the backbone and / or side chain structure with one or more natural amino acids, differing only in one or more modified groups in the molecule. Such modifications can include, but are not limited to, substituting an atom (e.g., S) with an atom (e.g., N), adding a group (e.g., methyl or hydroxyl, etc.) or an atom (e.g., Cl or Br, etc.), deleting a group, substituting a covalent bond (single bond substituting for double bond, etc.), or combinations thereof. For example, amino acid analogs can include α-hydroxy acids and α-amino acids, etc.

[0155] The term "amino acid side chain" is used to refer to a substituent attached to the α-carbon of an amino acid residue, including natural amino acids, non-natural amino acids, and amino acid analogs. Amino acid side chains may also include those described in the background of modified amino acids and / or conjugates as described herein.

[0156] The term "carbohydrate" is used to refer to monomeric units and / or polymers of monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. The term "sugar" is used to refer to smaller carbohydrates, such as monosaccharides and disaccharides. The term "carbohydrate derivative" includes compounds in which one or more functional groups of the carbohydrate of interest are substituted (replaced by any convenient substituent), modified (converted to another group using any convenient chemical method), or absent (e.g., eliminated or substituted with H). A variety of carbohydrates and carbohydrate derivatives are available and can be adapted to subject compounds and conjugates.

[0157] The term "glycoside" or "glycosyl group" refers to a sugar molecule or group that is bound to a moiety via a glycosidic bond. For example, the moiety to which a glycoside is bound can be a cleavable linker as described herein.

In some cases, glycosides can be cleaved from the group to which they are bound, for example, through chemically mediated or enzyme-mediated hydrolysis.

[0158] As used herein, “ROR1 antigen” refers to a member of the tyrosine protein kinase transmembrane receptor (ROR) family. ROR2 is another member of the same family. However, in some embodiments, the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody disclosed herein do not bind to ROR2 (e.g., human ROR2). In some embodiments, the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody disclosed herein do not bind to human ROR2 or cyno ROR2. In other embodiments, the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody disclosed herein have a higher affinity for ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) than for ROR2 (e.g., human ROR2). In some embodiments, the binding affinity of the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody disclosed herein to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is at least twice that to ROR2 (e.g., human ROR2). In some embodiments, the binding affinity of the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody, as disclosed herein, to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is at least 5 times greater than that to ROR2 (e.g., human ROR2). In some embodiments, the binding affinity of the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody, as disclosed herein, to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is at least 10 times greater than that to ROR2 (e.g., human ROR2). In some embodiments, the binding affinity of the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody, as disclosed herein, to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is at least 100 times greater than that to ROR2 (e.g., human ROR2). In some embodiments, the binding affinity of the ROR1-ADC and ROR1 antibody, as disclosed herein, to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is at least 1000 times greater than that to ROR2 (e.g., human ROR2).

[0159] Therefore, in one implementation, the term “ROR1” or “ROR1 antigen” as used herein refers to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1).

[0160] The terms “antibody,” “immunoglobulin,” or “Ig” are used interchangeably and in the broadest sense herein, and specifically encompass, for example, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies (including agonists, antagonists, neutralizing antibodies, and full-length monoclonal antibodies), antibody compositions having multiple or single epitope specificity, recombinant antibodies, single-domain antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (including bispecific antibodies), synthetic antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, or human-form antibodies having full-length heavy and / or light chains. Antibodies also include single antibody domains and antibody fragments (and / or polypeptides containing antibody fragments) that retain ROR1 binding characteristics. Non-limiting examples of antibody fragments include antigen-binding and / or effector regions of antibodies, such as Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, scFv, (scFv)2, single-chain antibody molecules, bivariate domain antibodies, monovariate domain antibodies, linear antibodies, V regions, multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments, F(ab)2, Fd, Fc, bifunctional antibodies, di-bifunctional antibodies, disulfide-linked Fv (dsFv), monovariate antibodies (e.g., nanobodies), or other fragments (e.g., fragments composed of non-covalently coupled heavy and light chain variable regions). Generally, the variable (V) region can be any suitable arrangement of immunoglobulin heavy chain (VH) and / or light chain (VL) variable regions. For example, antibodies also include tetrameric antibodies comprising two heavy chain and two light chain molecules, antibody light chain monomers, and antibody heavy chain monomers. Thus, by way of example, the V region can be a dimer and contain a VH-VH, VH-VL, or VL-VL dimer that binds ROR1. In any implementation, the VH and VL regions can be covalently coupled directly or via a linker to form a single-chain Fv (scFv). For ease of reference, the scFv protein is referred to herein as included in the category “antibody fragments.” Another form of antibody fragment is a peptide containing one or more complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of an antibody. CDRs (also known as “minimum recognition units” or “hypervariates”) can be obtained by constructing a polynucleotide encoding one or more CDRs of interest.For example, such polynucleotides can be prepared by using polymerase chain reaction to synthesize variable regions from the mRNA of antibody-generating cells as templates (see, for example, Larrick et al., Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology, 2:106 (1991); Courtenay-Luck, “Genetic Manipulation of Monoclonal Antibodies,” Monoclonal Antibodies Production, Engineering and Clinical Application, Ritter et al. (eds.), p. 166, Cambridge University Press (1995); and Ward et al., “Genetic Manipulation and Expression of Antibodies,” Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications, Birch et al. (eds.), p. 137, Wiley-Liss, Inc. (1995)). Antibody fragments may be incorporated into, for example, single-domain antibodies, large antibodies, small antibodies, intracellular antibodies, bifunctional antibodies, trifunctional antibodies, tetrafunctional antibodies, neoantigen receptor variable regions (v-NAR), and double-single-chain Fv regions (see, for example, Hollinger and Hudson, Nature Biotechnology, 23(9):1126-1136, 2005). In some embodiments, antibodies containing VH and / or VL contain light chain and / or heavy chain constant regions, such as one or more constant regions, including one or more IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and / or IgG4 constant regions. In some embodiments, antibodies may include epitope-binding fragments of any of the above. The antibodies described herein may belong to any class (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA) or subclass (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2) of immunoglobulin molecules.

[0161] The terms "humanized antibody" or "humanized immunoglobulin" refer to non-human (e.g., mouse or rabbit) antibodies in which one or more amino acids (e.g., in the frame region, constant region, or CDR) have been replaced by amino acids from human antibodies at corresponding locations. Generally, humanized antibodies produce a reduced immune response in a human host compared to the non-humanized form of the same antibody. Antibodies can be humanized using a variety of techniques known in the art, such as CDR transplantation (EP 239,400; PCT publication WO 91 / 09967; US Patent Nos. 5,225,539; 5,530,101; and 5,585,089), surface remodeling or remodeling (EP 592,106; EP 519,596; Padlan, Molecular Immunology 28(4 / 5):489-498 (1991); Studnicka et al., Protein Engineering 7(6):805-814 (1994); Roguska et al., PNAS 91:969-973 (1994)) and chain truncation (US Patent No. 5,565,332). In some embodiments, framework substitutions are identified by modeling the interaction between the CDR and framework residues to identify framework residues important for antigen binding and by performing sequence comparisons to identify uncommon framework residues at specific locations (see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,585,089; Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323 (1988)). Additional methods for humanizing antibodies intended for use in this invention are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,750,078; 5,502,167; 5,705,154; 5,770,403; 5,698,417; 5,693,493; 5,558,864; 4,935,496; and 4,816,567, as well as PCT Publications WO 98 / 45331 and WO 98 / 45332. In a specific embodiment, the test rabbit antibody can be humanized according to the methods described in US20040086979 and US20050033031. Therefore, the above-mentioned antibody can be humanized using methods well known in the art.

[0162] The term "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody whose light and heavy chain genes are typically constructed from variable and constant region genes of antibodies belonging to different species through genetic engineering. For example, a variable region from a mouse monoclonal antibody gene can be linked to a human constant region (such as γ1 and γ3). One example of a therapeutic chimeric antibody is a hybrid protein consisting of a variable or antigen-binding domain from a mouse antibody and a constant or effector domain from a human antibody; however, domains from other mammalian species can also be used.

[0163] As used herein, the term “monospecific” refers to an antibody having one or more binding sites, each binding to the same epitope of the same antigen.

[0164] The term "multispecific" when used to refer to an antibody means that the antibody can specifically bind to at least two different epitopes. For example, the two binding sites may each form a variable domain (VH) of the antibody heavy chain and a variable domain (VL) of the antibody light chain, or a pair of VHH domains each binding to different epitopes on different antigens or the same antigen. Such bispecific antibodies can have a 1+1 form (containing one binding site against a first antigen or epitope and one binding site against a second antigen or epitope). Other forms of bispecific antibodies may be 2+1 or 1+2 (containing two binding sites against a first antigen or epitope and one binding site against a second antigen or epitope) or 2+2 (containing two binding sites against a first antigen or epitope and two binding sites against a second antigen or epitope). When a bispecific antibody contains two antigen-binding sites, each site can bind to a different epitope. Such bispecific antibodies can bind to two different epitopes on the same antigen (e.g., epitopes on the ROR).

[0165] In the context of two or more nucleic acids or peptides, the term "identity" or "percentage of identity" refers to two or more sequences or subsequences being identical when compared and aligned (with gaps introduced where necessary) to achieve maximum correspondence, or having a specified percentage of identical nucleotide or amino acid residues, regardless of any conserved amino acid substitutions as part of sequence identity. The percentage of identity can be measured using sequence comparison software or algorithms or by visual inspection. Various algorithms and software are well known in the art for obtaining amino acid or nucleotide sequence alignments. These include, but are not limited to, the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), ALIGN, MegAlign, BestFit, GCG Wisconsin Package, and variations thereof. In some embodiments, two nucleic acids or peptides are substantially identical, meaning that when compared and aligned to achieve maximum correspondence, they have at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, or at least 90%, and in some embodiments at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% nucleotide or amino acid residue identity, as measured using sequence comparison algorithms or by visual inspection. In some embodiments, identity exists in regions of at least about 10 residues, at least about 20 residues, at least about 40-60 residues, at least about 60-80 residues, or any integer value between these lengths in the amino acid sequence. In some embodiments, identity exists in regions longer than 60-80 residues, for example, at least about 80-100 residues; and in some embodiments, the sequences are substantially identical across the full length of the compared sequence (e.g., the coding region of a target protein or antibody). In some embodiments, identity exists in regions of at least about 10 bases, at least about 20 bases, at least about 40-60 bases, at least about 60-80 residues, or any integer value between these lengths in the nucleotide sequence. In some embodiments, identity exists in regions longer than 60-80 bases, for example, at least about 80-1000 bases or more; and in some embodiments, the sequences are substantially identical across the full length of the compared sequence (e.g., the nucleotide sequence encoding the protein of interest).

[0166] "Conservative amino acid substitution" is a substitution in which one amino acid residue is replaced by another amino acid residue with a similar chemical signature in its side chain. Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains are generally defined in the art, including basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), β-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). For example, phenylalanine replacing tyrosine is a conservative substitution. Generally, conservative substitutions in the sequences of peptides, soluble proteins, and / or antibodies of this disclosure do not eliminate the binding of the peptide, soluble protein, or antibody containing the said amino acid sequence to the target binding site. Methods for identifying conserved substitutions of amino acids that do not eliminate binding are well known in the art.

[0167] The term "peptide" refers to an amino acid polymer of any length. The polymer may be linear or branched, may contain modified amino acids, and may include non-amino acids (e.g., substituted for them). The term also covers amino acid polymers that are naturally or through intervention; for example, disulfide bond formation, glycosylation, lipoylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other operation or modification, such as direct or indirect linkage or conjugation to a moiety (e.g., a labeled component or a drug (e.g., a toxin)). The definition also includes, for example, peptides containing one or more amino acid analogs (including, for example, non-natural amino acids), and other modifications known in the art. It should be understood that, since the peptides of this disclosure may be based on antibodies or other members of the immunoglobulin superfamily, in some embodiments, the peptides may exist as single chains or single-chain dimers.

[0168] As used herein, an "antigen" is a portion or molecule containing an epitope that an antibody can bind to. Therefore, an antigen can be bound by an antibody. In some embodiments, the antigen bound by the antibody described herein is a ROR1 antigen (e.g., human ROR1 antigen) or a fragment thereof.

[0169] As used herein, "epitope" is a term in the art and refers to a localized region of an antigen that an antibody can bind to. An epitope can be a linear epitope or a conformational, non-linear, or discontinuous epitope. For example, in the case of a peptide antigen, an epitope can be a continuous amino acid of the peptide ("linear" epitope), or an epitope can comprise amino acids from two or more discontinuous regions of the peptide ("conformational," "non-linear," or "discontinuous" epitope), such as human ROR1. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in general, a linear epitope may or may not depend on secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structures. For example, in some embodiments, an antibody binds to a set of amino acids regardless of whether they fold into a native three-dimensional protein structure. In other embodiments, the antibody requires the amino acid residues constituting the epitope to exhibit a specific conformation (e.g., bending, twisting, rotating, or folding) in order to recognize and bind to the epitope.

[0170] Antibodies bind to “epitopes,” “substantially identical epitopes,” or “identical epitopes” with reference antibodies. The most widely used and rapid method for determining whether two antibodies bind to the same, overlapping, or adjacent epitopes in three-dimensional space is a competition assay, which can be configured in many different ways, for example, using labeled antigens or labeled antibodies. In some assays, the antigen is immobilized on a 96-well plate or expressed on a cell surface, and radioactive, fluorescent, or enzyme labeling is used to measure the ability of the unlabeled antibody to block the binding of the labeled antibody.

[0171] As used herein, the terms “specific binding,” “specific recognition,” “immune-specific binding,” “selective binding,” “immune-specific recognition,” and “immune specificity” are similar terms in the context of antibodies and refer to molecules that bind to antigens (e.g., epitopes) as understood by those skilled in the art.

[0172] In some embodiments, "specific binding" means, for example, that the interaction between a peptide or molecule and an epitope, protein, or target molecule is more frequent, faster, longer-lasting, has greater affinity, or a combination of the above characteristics compared to alternative substances (including related and unrelated proteins). For example, a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen may bind to other peptides or polypeptides with typically lower affinity, as determined by, for example, immunoassays, BIACORE™, KinExA 3000 instruments (Sapidyne Instruments, Boise, ID), Octet QK384 systems (ForteBio, Menlo Park, CA), or other assays known in the art. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding region binds to or specifically binds to the antigen when the affinity of the antibody or antigen-binding region to the antigen is higher than the affinity to any cross-reactive antigen, as determined using experimental techniques such as radioimmunoassay (RIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Typically, a specific or selective reaction will be at least twice the background signal or noise, and possibly more than ten times the background. For a discussion of binding specificity, see, for example, Fundamental Immunology 332-36 (Paul, ed., 2nd ed., 1989). In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding region binds to less than about 10% of its binding to a “non-target” protein, as determined, for example, by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis or RIA. In some embodiments, the Kk of a molecule that specifically binds to an antigen is determined when it binds to the antigen. A Compared to the K value when the molecule binds to another antigen A The binding intensity is at least 2 log, 2.5 log, 3 log, 4 log, or higher. In some embodiments, the molecule that specifically binds to the antigen does not cross-react with other proteins. In another specific embodiment, the molecule that specifically binds to the antigen does not cross-react with other non-ROR1 antigens. In some embodiments, "specific binding" means, for example, that a peptide or molecule binds to the K of a protein or target. D It is approximately 0.1 mM or lower, but more typically less than approximately 1 µM. In some embodiments, "specific binding" means that the peptide or molecule binds to the K+ of the target. DThe specific binding concentration is at least about 0.1 µM or less, at least about 0.01 µM or less, or at least about 1 nM or less. Due to sequence identity between homologous proteins of different species, specific binding can include peptides or molecules that recognize proteins or targets in more than one species. Similarly, due to identity within certain regions of the peptide sequences of different proteins, specific binding can include peptides or molecules that recognize more than one protein or target. It should be understood that in some embodiments, a peptide or molecule that specifically binds to a first target may or may not specifically bind to a second target. Therefore, “specific binding” does not necessarily require (although it may include) exclusive binding, e.g., binding to a single target. Therefore, in some embodiments, a peptide or molecule may specifically bind to more than one target. In some embodiments, multiple targets may be bound by the same antigen-binding site on the peptide or molecule. For example, in some embodiments, an antibody may contain two identical antigen-binding sites, each specifically binding to the same epitope on two or more proteins. In alternative embodiments, the antibody may be bispecific and contain at least two antigen-binding sites with different specificities. Generally, but not necessarily, the term “binding” means “specific binding.”

[0173] The term "binding affinity" generally refers to the aggregate strength of the non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding complex (e.g., an antigen, such as a ROR). Unless otherwise indicated, as used herein, "binding affinity" refers to the intrinsic binding affinity that reflects a 1:1 interaction between members of a binding pair (e.g., antibody and antigen). The affinity of a binding molecule X for its binding complex Y can typically be expressed using the dissociation constant (K). D () indicates. Affinity can be measured by common methods known in the art, including those described herein. Low-affinity antibodies generally bind to antigens slowly and tend to dissociate rapidly, while high-affinity antibodies generally bind to antigens more quickly and tend to remain bound for longer. Various methods for measuring binding affinity are known in the art, any of which can be used to achieve the purposes of this disclosure. In one embodiment, “K” D "or "K D The "value" can be measured using biological layer interferometry (BLI) with a system such as the Octet QK384 (ForteBio, Menlo Park, CA). Alternatively, K... DIt can also be measured in radiolabeled antigen binding assays (RIA), for example, with the Fab form of the antibody of interest and its antigen (Chen et al., (1999) J. Mol Biol 293:865-881) or using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays via BIACORE™, using, for example, BIACORE™-2000 or BIACORE™-3000 (BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, NJ). The "on-rate of association / association rate" or "k" is used. 缔合 "and dissociation rate (off-rate / rate of dissociation / dissociation rate)" or "k 解离 "The same SPR or BLI techniques described herein can also be used to determine this, for example, the Octet QK384 system (ForteBio, Menlo Park, CA) or the BIACORE™-2000 or BIACORE™-3000 (BIACORE™, Inc., Piscataway, NJ).

[0174] The term "competition," when used in the context of ROR1 antibodies, describes an antibody that, in the presence of another antibody, is at least partially inhibited from binding to an epitope or binding site due to the binding of that other antibody. Competition can be determined by an assay in which the antibody under study prevents or inhibits the specific binding of a reference molecule (e.g., a reference ligand or reference antigen-binding protein, such as a reference antibody) to a common antigen (e.g., ROR). Various types of competitive binding assays can be used to determine whether a test antibody competes with a reference molecule for binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1). Examples of assays that may be used include solid-phase direct or indirect radioimmunoassay (RIA), solid-phase direct or indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA), sandwich competitive assay (see, for example, Stahli et al., (1983) Methods in Enzymology 9:242-253); solid-phase direct biotin-avidin-EIA (see, for example, Kirkland et al., (1986) J. Immunol. 137:3614-3619 or Cheung et al., (1990) Virology 176:546-552); solid-phase direct labeling assay, solid-phase direct labeling sandwich assay (see, for example, Harlow and Lane, (1988) Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Press); solid-phase direct labeling RIA using I-125 label (see, for example, Morel et al., (1988) Molec. Immunol. 25:7-15); and directly labeled RIA (Moldenhauer et al., (1990) Scand. J. Immunol. 32:77-82). Typically, such assays involve using a purified antigen (e.g., ROR1, such as human ROR1) bound to a solid surface or cell carrying an unlabeled test antigen-binding protein (e.g., a test ROR1 antibody or ADC) or a labeled reference antigen-binding protein (e.g., a reference ROR1 antibody or ADC). Competitive inhibition can be measured by determining the amount of label bound to the solid surface or cell in the presence of the test antigen-binding protein. Typically, an excess of the test antigen-binding protein is present. Antibodies identified by competitive assays (competitive antibodies) include antibodies that bind to the same epitope as the reference antibody, and / or antibodies that bind to adjacent epitopes (e.g., similar epitopes or overlapping epitopes) that are sufficiently close to the epitope bound to the reference antibody to cause steric hindrance.Typically, when an excess of competitive antibody is present, it inhibits the specific binding of the reference antibody to the common antigen by at least 20%, for example, at least 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, or 75%. In some embodiments, binding is inhibited by at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or more.

[0175] The terms “constant region” and “constant domain” are used interchangeably herein and are well-known antibody terms in the art, referring to antibody portions, such as the carboxyl-terminal portions of the light and / or heavy chains, that do not directly participate in antibody-antigen binding but can exhibit various effector functions, such as interacting with Fc receptors. The terminology also includes portions of immunoglobulin molecules that have a generally more conserved amino acid sequence relative to the immunoglobulin variable region.

[0176] Antibody "effective function" refers to those biological activities attributable to the Fc region of the antibody (e.g., the native Fc region or the Fc region with amino acid sequence variations), and varies with antibody isotype. Examples of antibody effector functions include: C1q and complement-dependent cytotoxicity; Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); phagocytosis; downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors); and B cell activation.

[0177] In this document, the term "Fc region" is used to define the C-terminal region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain, including, for example, native sequence Fc regions, recombinant Fc regions, and variant Fc regions. Although the boundaries of the immunoglobulin heavy chain Fc region may vary, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region is generally defined as extending from the amino acid residue at position Cys226 (EU numbering system) or from Pro230 (EU numbering system) to its carboxyl terminus. The C-terminal lysine of the Fc region (residue 447 in EU numbering system) may be removed, for example, during antibody production or purification, or by recombinant engineering of the nucleic acid encoding the antibody heavy chain. An exemplary Fc region sequence is provided below (CH2 domain = bold text; CH3 domain = underlined text): CPPCPAPELLGGPSVFLFPPKPKDTLMISRTPEVTCVVVDVSHEDPEVKFNWYVDGVEVHNAKTKPREEQYNSTYRVVSVLTVLHQDWLNGKEYKCKVSNKALPAPIEKTISKAK GQPREPQVYTLPPSRDELTKNQVSLTCLV KGFYPSDIAVEWESNGQPENNYKTTPPVLDSDGSFFLYSKLTVDKSRWQQGNVFSCSVMHEALHNHYTQKSLSLSP GK (SEQ ID NO:38).

[0178] The “functional Fc fragment” possesses an “effective function” of the native Fc region. Exemplary “effective functions” include C1q; complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC); Fc receptor binding; antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC); phagocytosis; downregulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptor; BCR), etc. Such effector functions typically require a combination of the Fc region with a binding region or binding domain (e.g., antibody variable region or domain) and can be assessed using a variety of disclosed assays.

[0179] The “native sequence Fc region” contains the same amino acid sequence as the Fc region found in nature and has not been manipulated, modified, and / or altered by humans (e.g., isolated, purified, selected, included, or combined with other sequences, such as variable region sequences). The native sequence human Fc region includes the native sequence human IgG1 Fc region (non-A and A allotypes); the native sequence human IgG2 Fc region; the native sequence human IgG3 Fc region; and the native sequence human IgG4 Fc region, as well as their naturally occurring variants.

[0180] A “variant Fc region” comprises an amino acid sequence that differs from the amino acid sequence of the native Fc region due to at least one amino acid modification (e.g., substitution, addition, or deletion), preferably one or more amino acid substitutions. In some embodiments, the variant Fc region has at least one amino acid substitution in the native Fc region or the Fc region of the parent peptide compared to the native Fc region or the Fc region of the parent peptide, for example, about one to about ten amino acid substitutions, and preferably about one to about five amino acid substitutions. The variant Fc region described herein may have at least about 80% homology with the native Fc region and / or the Fc region of the parent peptide, or at least about 90% homology with it, for example, at least about 95% homology with it. The variant Fc region described herein may lose its effector function (e.g., silence the Fc (also referred to herein as “sFc”)).

[0181] In some embodiments, sFc contains an alanine (Ala, A) residue at position Leu234 (L234) according to the EU numbering system, an alanine (Ala, A) residue at position Leu235 (L235) according to the EU numbering system, and a lysine (Lys, K) residue at position Pro329 (P329) according to the EU numbering system (also referred to herein as "LALAPK" or "L234A / L235A / P329K").

[0182] The following provides an example variant Fc region (“silent Fc”) sequence (CH2 domain = bold text and amino acid changes are underlined; CH3 domain = underlined text): CPPCPAPE AAGGPSVFLFPPKPKDTLMISRTPEVTCVVVDVSHEDPEVKFNWYVDGVEVHNAKTKPREEQYNSTYRVVSVLTVLHQDWLNGKEYKCKVSNKAL K APIEKTISKAK GQPREPQVYTLPPSRDELTKNQVSLTCLV KGFYPSDIAVEWESNGQPENNYKTTPPVLDSDGSFFLYSKLTVDKSRWQQGNVFSCSVMHEALHNHYTQKSLSLSP GK (SEQ ID NO:39).

[0183] Alternatively, the variant Fc region has reduced potential immunogenicity. In other embodiments, the variant Fc region includes a glutamic acid (Glu, E) residue at position Asp356 (D356) according to the EU numbering system, a glutamic acid (Glu, E) residue at position Glu357 (E357) according to the EU numbering system, and a methionine (Met, M) residue at position Leu358 (L358) according to the EU numbering system (also referred to herein as “EEM” or “D356E / E357E / L358M”). When used to refer to antibodies, the term "heavy chain" refers to a polypeptide chain of approximately 50-70 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion includes a variable region of approximately 120 to 130 or more amino acids, and the carboxyl-terminal portion includes one or more constant regions. "Heavy chain" can refer to any different type, such as α (alpha), δ (delta), ε (epsilon), γ (gamma), and μ (mu) based on the amino acid sequence of the constant regions, which produce antibodies of the IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM classes, including subclasses of IgG such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4.

[0184] As used herein, the term "light chain," when used to refer to an antibody, can refer to a polypeptide chain of about 25 kDa, wherein the amino-terminal portion comprises a variable region of about 100 to about 110 or more amino acids, and the carboxyl-terminal portion comprises a constant region. The approximate length of a light chain is 211 to 217 amino acids. Based on the amino acid sequence of the constant region, two different types exist, such as κ (kappa) or λ (lambda). The amino acid sequences of light chains are well known in the art. In one embodiment, the "chain" (e.g., heavy chain or light chain) is itself a molecule (e.g., a polypeptide). In another embodiment, the "chain" (e.g., heavy chain or light chain) is part of a molecule (e.g., a polypeptide), for example, directly or indirectly conjugated to the rest of the molecule (e.g., a polypeptide).

[0185] The terms “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” “antigen-binding region,” and similar terms refer to a portion of an antibody that contains amino acid residues that interact with an antigen and confers specificity and affinity of the binding fragment or region for the antigen (e.g., a CDR). As used herein, “antigen-binding fragment” includes “antibody fragment,” which contains a portion of an antibody, including one or more CDRs, such as an antigen-binding region or variable region of the antibody.

[0186] The antibodies described herein include, but are not limited to, synthetic antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, recombinant antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., including bispecific antibodies), human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, intracellular antibodies, single-chain Fv (scFv) (e.g., including monospecific, bispecific, etc.), camelified antibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab') fragments, disulfide-linked Fv (sdFv), anti-idiotype (anti-Id) antibodies, and epitope-binding fragments of any of the above.

[0187] In some embodiments, the antibodies described herein include immunoglobulin molecules and immunologically active portions of immunoglobulin molecules, such as molecules containing one or more antigen-binding sites that bind to ROR1.

[0188] The antibodies described herein can belong to any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA, or IgY), any class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, or IgA2), or any subclass (e.g., IgG2a or IgG2b) of immunoglobulin molecules. In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody described herein is an IgG antibody (e.g., human IgG) or its class (e.g., human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4) or subclass.

[0189] In some embodiments, the antibody is a 4-chain antibody unit comprising two heavy (H) chain / light (L) chain pairs. In other embodiments, the amino acid sequences of the H chains are identical and the amino acid sequences of the L chains are identical. In other embodiments, the amino acid sequences of the H chains are different from each other. Or, additionally, the amino acid sequences of the L chains are different from each other. For example, the antibody comprises a first H / L chain pair and a second H / L chain pair, wherein the first H / L chain pair binds to a ROR1 antigen and the second H / L chain pair binds to another ROR1 antigen or a non-ROR1 antigen. In some embodiments, the antibody is a 2-chain antibody unit comprising a VHH-VHH pair. In other embodiments, the amino acid sequences of the VHHs are identical. In other embodiments, the amino acid sequences of the VHHs are different from each other. For example, the antibody comprises a first VHH and a second VHH, wherein the first VHH binds to a ROR1 antigen and the second VHH binds to another ROR1 antigen or a non-ROR1 antigen. In some embodiments, the H and / or L chains comprise constant regions, such as human constant regions. In some embodiments, the L-chain constant region of such antibodies is a κ or λ light chain constant region, such as the human κ or λ light chain constant region. In some embodiments, the H-chain constant region of such antibodies comprises a γ heavy chain constant region, such as the human γ heavy chain constant region. In some embodiments, such antibodies comprise an IgG constant region, such as the human IgG constant region (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and / or IgG4 constant regions).

[0190] As used herein, "ROR1 antibody" and "antibody that binds to ROR1" are used interchangeably and refer to an antibody that preferentially binds to ROR1. An antibody or fragment thereof may preferentially bind to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1), meaning that the antibody or fragment thereof has a higher affinity for ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) than it does for an unrelated control protein. For example, an antibody or fragment thereof may specifically recognize and bind to ROR1 or a portion thereof. "Specific binding" means that the affinity of the ROR1 antibody or fragment thereof for ROR1 is at least 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, or 10,000 times higher than that for an unrelated control protein (e.g., chicken oocyte lysozyme). In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody or fragment thereof may bind substantially specifically to ROR1 (e.g., capable of distinguishing ROR1 from other known peptides, for example, by measurable differences in binding affinity). In some implementations, the ROR1 antibody can react with ROR1 sequences other than the human ROR1 sequence (e.g., the cynomolgus monkey ROR1 sequence).

[0191] The terms “variable region” and “variable domain” are used interchangeably to refer to portions of the antibody light and heavy chains, typically located at the amino terminus of the light and heavy chains, having a length of approximately 120 to 130 amino acids in the heavy chain and approximately 100 to 110 amino acids in the light chain, and serving as the binding and specificity of each antibody to its antigen. The variable region of the heavy chain is referred to herein as “VH”. The variable region of the light chain is referred to herein as “VL”. The term “variable” refers to the fact that, within an antibody, certain segments of the variable region have widely different sequences. The V region mediates antigen binding and determines the specificity of a particular antibody to its antigen. However, this variability is not uniformly distributed across the 110-amino acid span of the variable region. In practice, the V region consists of segments with less variability (e.g., relatively invariant), referred to as frame regions (FRs), having approximately 15–30 amino acids, separated by shorter regions with greater variability (e.g., extreme variability), referred to as “hypervariable regions” or alternatively, “complementarity-determining regions.” The variable regions of both the heavy and light chains each contain four frames (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4), which are predominantly β-sheet configurations connected by three hypervariable regions. These hypervariable regions form loops connecting the β-sheet structures and, in some cases, form part of the β-sheet structures. The hypervariable regions in each chain are tightly held together by the frames and, together with the hypervariable regions of the other chain, participate in the formation of the antibody's antigen-binding site (see, for example, Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, (1991)). Constant regions do not directly participate in antibody-antigen binding but exhibit various effector functions, such as enabling antibodies to participate in antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). The sequences of the variable regions vary widely among different antibodies. Sequence variations are concentrated in the CDRs, while less variable portions of the variable regions are called frame regions (FRs). The CDRs of both the light and heavy chains are primarily responsible for antibody-antigen interactions. In certain embodiments, the variable regions are human variable regions.

[0192] The terms “hypervariant region,” “HVR,” “HV,” “complementarity-determining region,” and “CDR,” as used herein, refer to regions within the antibody variable region that exhibit sequence hypervariability and / or form structurally defined loops. Generally, antibodies contain six hypervariant regions: three in the VH region (H1 or VH CDR1, H2 or VH CDR2, and H3 or VH CDR3) and three in the VL region (L1 or VL CDR1, L2 or VLCDR2, and L3 or VL CDR3). Several hypervariant region descriptions are in use and are covered herein. Kabat CDR is based on sequence variability and is the most commonly used (see, for example, Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991)). Chothia, on the other hand, refers to the location of structural loops (see, for example, Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917 (1987)). When numbered using the Kabat numbering convention, the end of the ChothiaCDR-H1 loop varies between H32 and H34, depending on the length of the loop (this is because the Kabat numbering scheme inserts at H35A and H35B; if neither 35A nor 35B is present, the loop terminates at 32; if only 35A is present, the loop terminates at 33; if both 35A and 35B are present, the loop terminates at 34). AbM hypervariable regions represent a compromise between the Kabat CDR and the Chothia structural loop and are used in Oxford Molecular's AbM antibody modeling software (see, for example, Martin, Antibody Engineering, Vol. 2, Chapter 3, Springer Verlag). “Contact” hypervariable regions are based on analysis of available complex crystal structures. The residues of each of these hypervariable regions, or CDRs, are listed below.

[0193] A universal numbering system has been developed and widely adopted, namely ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT). ® Information systems (Lefranc et al., Dev. Comp. Immunol. 27(1):55-77 (2003)). IMGT ®This is a comprehensive information system focusing on immunoglobulins (IG), T cell receptors (TR), and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans and other vertebrates. In this paper, CDRs are referred to based on their amino acid sequence and their position within the light or heavy chain. Because the “position” of CDRs within the variable region structure of immunoglobulins is conserved across species and exists in structures called loops, CDRs and framework residues can be easily identified using a numbering system that compares the variable region sequences of structural features. This information can be used to transplant and replace CDR residues from immunoglobulins of one species into the receptor framework, typically derived from human antibodies. An additional numbering system (AHon) has been developed: Honegger and Plückthun, J. Mol. Biol 309:657-670 (2001). Numbering systems (including, for example, Kabat numbering and IMGT) ® The correspondence between unique numbering systems is well known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Kabat, ibid.; Chothia and Lesk, ibid.; Martin, ibid.; Lefranc et al., ibid.), and is also described below. Various systems known in the art or described herein represent different ways of depicting a CDR, and are generally considered equivalent when used to define the same antibody. The exemplary system shown herein combines Kabat and Chothia. The high-variability region may include the following "extended high-variability regions": 24-36 or 24-34 (L1), 46-56 or 50-56 (L2), and 89-97 or 89-96 (L3) in VL, and 26-35 or 26-35A (H1), 50-65 or 49-65 (H2), and 93-102, 94-102, or 95-102 (H3) in VH. As used herein, the terms "high-variability region," "HVR," "HV," "complementary determinant region," or "CDR" are used interchangeably.

[0194] As used herein, the term "isolated" is intended to describe a compound of interest in an environment different from that in which the compound naturally occurs. "Isolated" also includes compounds that are substantially enriched within a sample and / or partially or substantially purified from the compound of interest.

[0195] The terms “ROR1-mediated disease,” “ROR1-mediated symptom,” and “ROR1-mediated disorder” are used interchangeably and refer to any disease, symptom, or disorder that is associated with or characterized by cells expressing ROR1, such as tumor cells expressing ROR1. ROR1-mediated diseases include cancers, including but not limited to cancers that express or overexpress ROR1.

[0231] 7.2 ROR1-ADC An antibody that binds to tyrosine protein kinase receptor 1 (ROR1) (also referred to herein as a “ROR1 antibody,” “anti-ROR1 antibody,” “ROR1 Ab,” “Ab,” or “antibody”) and a drug can be directly or indirectly linked together via a pyridazine-pyrrole conjugate to form a ROR1-ADC as described herein. In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody and two or more drugs or active agents are linked together via one or more functional groups and covalent bonds. For example, the one or more functional groups and covalent bonds may include a branched linker as described herein.

[0232] The part of interest (e.g., a drug or active agent) can be conjugated to the ROR1 antibody at any desired site. Thus, for example, this disclosure provides a ROR1 antibody having portions conjugated at two or more sites on the antibody, such as sites on or near the C-terminus of the antibody, sites on or near the N-terminus of the antibody, and sites between the C-terminus and N-terminus of the antibody (e.g., at internal sites on the antibody). Combinations of the above conjugation sites are also possible.

[0233] In some embodiments, the conjugates of this disclosure comprise two (or more) pharmaceutical or active agents conjugated to amino acid residues of a ROR1 antibody at the α-carbon of an amino acid residue. In other words, the conjugate comprises a ROR1 antibody wherein the side chains of the amino acid residues in the antibody have been modified and linked to two (or more) pharmaceutical or active agents (e.g., linked to the two pharmaceutical or active agents via branched linkers as described herein). For example, the conjugate comprises a ROR1 antibody wherein the α-carbon of the amino acid residues in the antibody has been modified and linked to two pharmaceutical or active agents (e.g., linked to the two pharmaceutical or active agents via branched linkers as described herein).

[0234] Embodiments of this disclosure include conjugates in which a ROR1 antibody is conjugated to two or more moieties, such as 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 or more moieties. The moieties may be conjugated to the antibody at multiple sites in the ROR1 antibody. In some embodiments, two moieties may be conjugated to a single amino acid residue of the ROR1 antibody. For example, two moieties may be conjugated to the same amino acid residue of the ROR1 antibody. In other embodiments, two moieties are conjugated to a first amino acid residue of the ROR1 antibody, and two other moieties are conjugated to a second amino acid residue of the ROR1 antibody. For example, the ROR1 antibody may be conjugated to the first and second moieties at the first amino acid residue, and to the third and fourth moieties at the second amino acid residue, etc. In some cases, two or more amino acid residues in the ROR1 antibody are each conjugated to a pair of portions (e.g., two portions), with each pair of portions conjugated to the ROR1 antibody via a branched linker as described herein. In some cases, one amino acid residue in the ROR1 antibody is conjugated to a pair of portions via a branched linker as described herein. In other cases, two or more amino acid residues (e.g., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 or more amino acid residues) in the ROR1 antibody are each conjugated to a pair of portions via a branched linker as described herein.

[0235] One or more amino acid residues in the ROR1 antibody conjugated to the moiety of interest can be naturally occurring amino acids, non-natural amino acids, or combinations thereof. For example, the conjugate may include the moiety of interest (e.g., a drug or active agent) conjugated to naturally occurring amino acid residues of the ROR1 antibody. In other cases, the conjugate may include the moiety of interest conjugated to non-natural amino acid residues of the ROR1 antibody. The moiety of interest may be conjugated to the ROR1 antibody at a single natural or non-natural amino acid residue as described above. One or more natural or non-natural amino acid residues in the ROR1 antibody may be conjugated to the moiety of interest as described herein. For example, two (or more) amino acid residues (e.g., natural or non-natural amino acid residues) in the ROR1 antibody may each be conjugated to two moieties via branched linkers, such that multiple sites in the ROR1 antibody are conjugated to the moiety of interest.

[0236] As described herein, ROR1 antibodies can be conjugated to two or more parts of interest. In some embodiments, the part of interest is a payload, such as a chemical entity, like a drug, an active agent, or a detectable label. For example, a drug (or an active agent, such as a cytokine) can be conjugated to a ROR1 antibody, or in other embodiments, a detectable label can be conjugated to a ROR1 antibody. In other embodiments, combinations of different payloads can be conjugated to a ROR1 antibody. Thus, embodiments of this disclosure include, for example, including but not limited to: conjugates of ROR1 antibodies with two or more drugs; conjugates of ROR1 antibodies with two or more active agents (e.g., cytokines); conjugates of ROR1 antibodies with two or more detectable labels; and combinations thereof.

[0237] In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody and the moiety of interest (e.g., a drug or active agent) are conjugated via a conjugation motif. For example, the ROR1 antibody and the moiety of interest may each be bound to the conjugation motif (e.g., covalently), thereby indirectly conjugating the ROR1 antibody and the moiety of interest via the conjugation motif. In some cases, the conjugation motif comprises a hydrazyl-indolyl compound or a hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl compound, or a derivative thereof. For example, the following general reaction scheme illustrates a general scheme for coupling the moiety of interest to the ROR1 antibody via a hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugation motif. The hydrazyl-indolyl and hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugation motifs are also referred to herein as hydrazyl- different Pictet-Spengler (HIPS) conjugate and aza-hydrazine- different Pictet-Spengler (azaHIPS) suture. In the above reaction scheme, each R independently includes a portion of interest (e.g., a drug or active agent) conjugated to a ROR1 antibody (e.g., conjugated to a ROR1 antibody via a linker as described herein), where n is an integer from 1 to 4. As shown in the above reaction scheme, the conjugated portion (e.g., a hydrazino-indolyl or hydrazino-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugated portion) is linked to two or more drugs or active agents R. The ROR1 antibody including a 2-formylglycine residue (fGly) reacts with the conjugated portion to generate a ROR1 antibody conjugate, thereby linking the two or more drugs or active agents to the ROR1 antibody via the conjugated portion.

[0238] As described herein, the portion can be any of a variety of portions, such as, but not limited to, chemical entities, such as detectable labels or drugs or active agents. R' and R" can each independently be any desired substituent, such as, but not limited to, hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkynyl, alkoxy, substituted alkoxy, amino, substituted amino, carboxyl, carboxyl ester, acyl, acyloxy, acylamino, aminoacyl, alkylamide, substituted alkylamide, sulfonyl, thioalkoxy, substituted thioalkoxy, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, substituted heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, heterocyclic, and substituted heterocyclic. Z can be CR 21 NR 22 , N, O or S, where R 21 and R 22 Each is independently selected from any of the substituents described above for R' and R”.

[0239] Other hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugates are also possible, as shown in the conjugates and compounds described herein. For example, the hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate can be linked (e.g., covalently linked) to two or more connectors. Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure include hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugates, each of which is connected to two or more pharmaceutical or active agents via a corresponding connector. Thus, the conjugates of this disclosure may include two or more connectors, each connector linking a corresponding pharmaceutical or active agent to the hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate. Therefore, the hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate and the two or more connectors can be collectively considered as a “branched link head,” wherein the hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate is connected to two or more “branched chains,” each of which includes a connector connected to a pharmaceutical or active agent.

[0240] Combinations of identical or different payloads can be conjugated to ROR1 antibodies via branched linkers. In some embodiments, the two payloads (e.g., drugs, active agents, or detectable markers) linked to the branched linker are identical payloads (e.g., drugs, active agents, or detectable markers). For example, a first branch of the branched linker can be linked to a payload (e.g., a drug, active agent, or detectable marker), and a second branch of the branched linker can be linked to the same payload (e.g., a drug, active agent, or detectable marker) as the first branch.

[0241] In other embodiments, the two payloads (e.g., a drug, an active agent, or a detectable marker) connected to the branch link head are different payloads (e.g., a drug, an active agent, or a detectable marker). For example, a first branch chain of the branch link head may be connected to a first payload (e.g., a first drug, an active agent, or a detectable marker), and a second branch chain of the branch link head may be connected to a second payload (e.g., a second drug, an active agent, or a detectable marker) that is different from the first payload (e.g., a first drug, an active agent, or a detectable marker) connected to the first branch chain.

[0242] In some implementations, when two different drugs or active agents are attached to the branch linker, the drugs or active agents may be selected from those with synergistic therapeutic effects. "Synergistic" or "synergism / synergy" means that the therapeutic effect is greater than the sum of the effects of the drugs or active agents used alone. For example, in some cases, using two different drugs or active agents attached to the branch linker can provide a lower therapeutically effective concentration, allowing both payloads to function, thereby increasing the overall potency of the ADC.

[0243] In some embodiments, when two different drugs or active agents are attached to the branch linker, the drugs or active agents may be selected from those that provide enhanced therapeutic benefits compared to using the drugs or active agents alone. For example, the drugs or active agents may increase the drug delivery effect of the ADC (e.g., some payloads, such as iRGD peptides, may increase extravasation into tissues and enhance tumor penetration).

[0244] In some implementations, when two different drugs or active agents are attached to the branch linker, the drugs or active agents may be selected from drugs and active agents using different mechanisms of action. In some cases, this can reduce tumor resistance by targeting multiple pathways. Examples of payload combinations include, but are not limited to, cytotoxic drugs, immunomodulatory molecules for activating or inhibiting immune cell populations, cytokines, hormones, chelating agents loaded with radioisotopes, etc.

[0245] In some implementations, when two different payloads are connected to the branch connector, the payloads can be selected from a combination of a drug or active agent and a detectable marker. For example, the first payload can be a detectable marker used as an imaging agent or tracer to detect the location of the ADC in vivo, while the second payload can be a drug or active agent that provides therapeutic activity.

[0246] This document describes in detail several embodiments of a connector that can couple a hydrazine-indolyl or hydrazine-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate to a drug or active agent. For example, in some cases, the connector is a cleavable connector, such as the cleavable connector described herein.

[0247] In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody may be conjugated to two or more moieties of interest, wherein one or more amino acids of the ROR1 antibody are modified prior to conjugation to the moieties of interest. Modification of one or more amino acids of the ROR1 antibody can produce a ROR1 antibody containing one or more reactive groups suitable for conjugation to the moieties of interest. In some cases, the ROR1 antibody may include one or more modified amino acid residues to provide one or more reactive groups suitable for conjugation to the moieties of interest (e.g., where two or more moieties are linked to the conjugation moieties, such as the hydrazino-indolyl or hydrazino-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugation moieties described above). For example, the amino acids of the ROR1 antibody may be modified to include a reactive aldehyde group (e.g., a reactive aldehyde). The reactive aldehyde may be included in an “aldehyde tag” or “ald tag,” as used herein, referring to an amino acid sequence derived from a sulfatase motif (e.g., L(C / S)TPSR, SEQ ID NO:99) that has been converted by the action of a formylglycine synthase (FGE) to contain a 2-formylglycine residue (referred to herein as “fGly”). The fGly residue generated by FGE can also be referred to as "formylglycine". In other words, the term "aldehyde tag" is used herein to refer to an amino acid sequence that includes a "converted" sulfatase motif (e.g., a sulfatase motif in which cysteine ​​or serine residues have been converted to fGly by the action of FGE, such as L(fGly)TPSR, SEQ ID NO:123). A converted sulfatase motif can be generated from an amino acid sequence that includes an "unconverted" sulfatase motif (e.g., a sulfatase motif in which cysteine ​​or serine residues have not yet been converted to fGly by FGE but are capable of conversion, such as an unconverted sulfatase motif having the following sequence: LCTPSR, SEQ ID NO:100). As used in the context of the action of formylglycine synthase (FGE) on sulfatase motifs, "conversion" refers to the biochemical modification of cysteine ​​or serine residues in a sulfatase motif to a formylglycine (fGly) residue (e.g., Cys to fGly or Ser to fGly). U.S. Patent Nos. 7,985,783 and 8,729,232 describe additional aspects of aldehyde tags and their use in site-specific protein modifications, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0248] In some cases, to generate conjugates, ROR1 antibodies containing fGly residues can be conjugated to the moiety of interest by reacting fGly with a compound (e.g., a compound containing a hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moiety as described above). For example, a ROR1 antibody containing fGly can be contacted with a reaction conjugate under conditions suitable for conjugating two or more drugs to a ROR1 antibody. In some cases, the reaction conjugate may include a hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moiety as described above. For example, two or more drugs or active agents may be linked to a hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moiety. In some cases, the drug or active agent is linked to the hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moiety, for example, covalently linked to a hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl group, wherein each drug or active agent is linked to the hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moiety via a corresponding linker. Therefore, the fGly residues that are conjugated with the part of interest after the reaction are referred to as fGly' in this paper.

[0249] In some embodiments, the conjugates of this disclosure comprise ROR1 antibodies having at least one amino acid residue linked to two or more moieties of interest (e.g., pharmaceuticals or active agents). To prepare the conjugates, the amino acid residues of the ROR1 antibody may be modified and then conjugated with two or more pharmaceuticals or active agents linked to the hydrazine-indolyl or hydrazine-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moieties as described above. In some embodiments, the amino acid residues of the ROR1 antibody are cysteine ​​or serine residues modified as fGly residues as described above. In some embodiments, the modified amino acid residues (e.g., fGly residues) are conjugated with two or more pharmaceuticals or active agents containing the hydrazine-indolyl or hydrazine-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moieties as described above to provide the conjugates of this disclosure, wherein the two or more pharmaceuticals or active agents are conjugated to the ROR1 antibody via the hydrazine-indolyl or hydrazine-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate moieties. As used herein, the term fGly' refers to the amino acid residue in a ROR1 antibody that is conjugated to the part of interest (e.g., a drug or active agent).

[0250] In some embodiments, the conjugate comprises a ROR1 antibody having at least one amino acid residue linked to a branched linker as described herein, which in turn is linked to two or more drugs or active agents. For example, the conjugate may comprise a ROR1 antibody having at least one amino acid residue (fGly') conjugated to a moiety of interest (e.g., a drug or active agent) as described above.

[0363] In some implementations, the second connector L B The left side of the aforementioned connector structure is connected to the hydrazyl-indolyl or hydrazyl-pyrrolo-pyridyl conjugate portion, and the second connector L B The right side of the aforementioned connector structure is connected to a second drug or active agent.

[0364] In some embodiments, the conjugate is an antibody-drug conjugate, wherein the ROR1 antibody and the drug are linked together via a connector as described above. In some cases, the connector m (e.g., L) A and / or L B A cleavable linker is a linker comprising one or more cleavable portions, wherein the cleavable portions include one or more bonds that can dissociate under certain conditions, thereby separating the cleavable linker into two or more separable portions. For example, the cleavable portions may include one or more covalent bonds that can dissociate or break under certain conditions, thereby separating the cleavable linker into two or more portions. Therefore, the linker included in an antibody-drug conjugate can be a cleavable linker, such that under appropriate conditions, the cleavable linker cleaves to separate or release the drug from the antibody at the desired target site of action of the drug.

[0365] In some cases, the cleavable linker includes two cleavable portions, such as a first cleavable portion and a second cleavable portion. The cleavable portions can be configured such that cleavage of both cleavable portions is required to separate or release the drug from the ROR1 antibody at the desired target site of action. For example, cleavage of the cleavable linker can be achieved by initially cleaving one of the two cleavable portions, and then cleaving the other of the two cleavable portions. In some embodiments, the cleavable linker includes a first cleavable portion and a second cleavable portion, the second cleavable portion hindering the cleavage of the first cleavable portion. "Hindering cleavage" means that the presence of the uncracked second cleavable portion reduces the likelihood of cleavage of the first cleavable portion or substantially inhibits its cleavage, thereby substantially reducing the amount of the cleavable linker or preventing its cleavage. For example, the presence of the uncracked second cleavable portion can hinder the cleavage of the first cleavable portion. The presence of the second cleavable portion hinders the cleavage of the first cleavable portion, which in turn substantially reduces the amount of drug released from the antibody or prevents the release of the drug from the antibody. For example, it can largely reduce or prevent the premature release of drugs from antibodies until the antibody-drug conjugate reaches or approaches the target site for drug action.

[0366] In some cases, because the second cleavable portion hinders the cleavage of the first cleavable portion, the cleavage of the cleavable linker can be achieved by initially cleaving the second cleavable portion, followed by cleavage of the first cleavable portion. Cleavage of the second cleavable portion can reduce or eliminate the hindrance to the cleavage of the first cleavable portion, thereby allowing the first cleavable portion to cleave. Cleavage of the first cleavable portion can lead to the dissociation or separation of the cleavable linker into two or more portions as described above, to release the drug from the antibody-drug conjugate. In some cases, cleavage of the first cleavable portion does not generally occur in the presence of an uncleavable second cleavable portion. Generally speaking, this means that in the presence of an unfractured second fractured portion, the first fractured portion undergoes about 10% or less of fracture, for example, in the presence of an unfractured second fractured portion, the first fractured portion undergoes about 9% or less, or about 8% or less, or about 7% or less, or about 6% or less, or about 5% or less, or about 4% or less, or about 3% or less, or about 2% or less, or about 1% or less, or about 0.5% or less, or about 0.1% or less of fracture.

[0367] In other words, the second cleavable portion can protect the first cleavable portion from cleavage. For example, the presence of an uncleavable second cleavable portion can protect the first cleavable portion from cleavage and thus substantially reduce or prevent premature release of the drug from the antibody until the antibody-drug conjugate reaches or approaches the desired target site of drug action. Therefore, cleavage of the second cleavable portion exposes the first cleavable portion (e.g., deprotects it), allowing the first cleavable portion to cleave, which leads to the cleavage of the cleavable linker, thereby separating or releasing the drug from the antibody at the desired target site of drug action, as described above. In some cases, cleavage of the second cleavable portion exposes the first cleavable portion for subsequent cleavage, but the cleavage of the second cleavable portion itself does not lead to the cleavage of the cleavable linker (e.g., cleavage of the first cleavable portion is still required to cleave the cleavable linker).

[0368] The cleavable portions included in the cleavable linker can each be an enzyme-cleavable portion. For example, the first cleavable portion can be a first enzyme-cleavable portion, and the second cleavable portion can be a second enzyme-cleavable portion. An enzyme-cleavable portion is a cleavable portion that can be separated into two or more portions as described above by the enzymatic action of an enzyme. An enzyme-cleavable portion can be any cleavable portion that can be cleaved by the enzymatic action of an enzyme, such as, but not limited to, esters, peptides, glycosides, etc. In some cases, the enzyme that cleaves the enzyme-cleavable portion is present at the desired target site, such as the target site for the drug to be released from the antibody-drug conjugate. In some cases, the enzyme that cleaves the enzyme-cleavable portion is not present in large quantities in other regions (such as whole blood, plasma, or serum). Therefore, the cleavage of the enzyme-cleavable portion can be controlled so that a large amount of cleavage occurs at the desired site, while cleavage does not occur significantly in other regions or before the antibody-drug conjugate reaches the desired site.

[0369] For example, as described herein, the antibody-drug conjugates of this disclosure can be used to treat cancer, such as for delivering cancer therapeutic drugs to desired sites of action where cancer cells are present. In some cases, the enzyme (such as an esterase that cleaves ester bonds or a glycosidase that cleaves glycosidic bonds) can be a biomarker of cancer that is overexpressed in cancer cells. The overexpression of certain enzymes in cancer and the resulting localization can be used in the context of an enzyme-cleavable moiety included in the cleavable linker of the antibody-drug conjugate of this disclosure to specifically release the drug at the desired site of action (e.g., the cancer site (and the site of the overexpressed enzyme)). Thus, in some embodiments, the enzyme-cleavable moiety is a cleavable moiety (e.g., an ester or glycoside) that can be cleaved by an enzyme overexpressed in cancer cells. For example, the enzyme can be an esterase. Thus, in some cases, the enzyme-cleavable moiety is a cleavable moiety (e.g., an ester) that can be cleaved by an esterase. In some cases, the enzyme can be a glycosidase. Thus, in some cases, the enzyme-cleavable moiety is a cleavable moiety (e.g., a glycoside or a glycoside derivative) that can be cleaved by a glycosidase.

[0370] In some embodiments, the enzymatically cleavable moiety is an ester bond. For example, the aforementioned first cleavable moiety (e.g., a cleavable moiety protected from premature cleavage by a second cleavable moiety) may comprise an ester. The presence of the uncleavable second cleavable moiety can protect the first cleavable moiety (ester) from cleavage by the esterase, and thus substantially reduce or prevent premature release of the drug from the antibody until the antibody-drug conjugate reaches or approaches the desired target site of drug action. In some cases, a portion of the linker adjacent to the first cleavable moiety is attached to or includes a substituent, wherein the substituent comprises the second cleavable moiety. In some cases, the second cleavable moiety comprises a glycoside or a glycoside derivative.

[0371] In some embodiments, the enzyme-cleavable portion is a sugar moiety, such as a glycoside (or glycosyl group) or a glycoside derivative. In some cases, a glycoside or glycoside derivative can promote increased hydrophilicity of the cleavable linker compared to a cleavable linker that does not contain a glycoside or glycoside derivative. The glycoside or glycoside derivative can be any glycoside or glycoside derivative suitable for use in a cleavable linker and capable of cleavage by the enzymatic action of the enzyme. For example, a second cleavable portion (e.g., a cleavable portion that protects the first cleavable portion from premature cleavage) can be a glycoside or glycoside derivative. For example, in some embodiments, the first cleavable portion comprises an ester, and the second cleavable portion comprises a glycoside or glycoside derivative. In some embodiments, the second cleavable portion is a glycoside or glycoside derivative selected from: glucuronide, galactoside, glucoside, mannoside, fucoside, O-GlcNAc, and O-GalNAc. In some cases, the second cleavable portion is a glucuronide. In some cases, the second cleavable portion is a galactoside. In some cases, the second cleavable portion is a glucoside. In some cases, the second cleavable moiety is mannoside. In some cases, the second cleavable moiety is fucoside. In some cases, the second cleavable moiety is O-GlcNAc. In some cases, the second cleavable moiety is O-GalNAc.

[0372] Glycosides or glycoside derivatives can be covalently linked to a cleavable linker via a glycosidic bond. The glycosidic bond can connect the glycoside or glycoside derivative to the cleavable linker through various types of bonds, such as, but not limited to, O-glycosidic bonds (O-glycosides), N-glycosidic bonds (glycosylamines), S-glycosidic bonds (thioglycosides), or C-glycosidic bonds (C-glycosides or C-glycosyl groups). In some cases, the glycosidic bond is an O-glycosidic bond (O-glycoside). In some cases, the glycoside or glycoside derivative can be cleaved from the cleavable linker to which it is attached by an enzyme (e.g., through enzyme-mediated glycosidic bond hydrolysis). The glycoside or glycoside derivative can be removed or cleaved from the cleavable linker by any readily available enzyme capable of cleaving (hydrolyzing) the glycosidic bond connecting the glycoside or glycoside derivative to the cleavable linker. Examples of enzymes that can mediate the cleavage (hydrolysis) of the glycosidic bond connecting a glycoside or glycosidic derivative to a cleavable linker are glycosidases, such as glucuronidase, galactosidase, glucosidase, mannosidase, fucosidase, etc. Other suitable enzymes may also be used to mediate the cleavage (hydrolysis) of the glycosidic bond connecting a glycoside or glycosidic derivative to a cleavable linker. In some cases, the enzyme used to mediate the cleavage (hydrolysis) of the glycosidic bond connecting a glycoside or glycosidic derivative to a cleavable linker is present at or near the desired site of action of the drug in the antibody-drug conjugate. For example, the enzyme may be a lysosomal enzyme, such as a lysosomal glycosidase, present in cells at or near the desired site of action of the drug in the antibody-drug conjugate. In some cases, the enzyme is present at or near the target site where the enzyme mediating the cleavage of the first cleavable moiety is located.

For example, FR1 is defined as the N-terminal amino acid residue of CDR1, as defined by, for example, the Kabat numbering system, the IMGT numbering system, or the Chothia numbering system; FR2 is defined as the amino acid residue between CDR1 and CDR2, as defined by, for example, the Kabat numbering system, the IMGT numbering system, or the Chothia numbering system; FR3 is defined as the amino acid residue between CDR2 and CDR3, as defined by, for example, the Kabat numbering system, the IMGT numbering system, or the Chothia numbering system; and FR4 is defined as the C-terminal amino acid residue of CDR3, as defined by, for example, the Kabat numbering system, the IMGT numbering system, or the Chothia numbering system.

[0402] In some embodiments, including human ROR1 antibodies, the ROR1 antibodies described herein (e.g., antibodies such as monospecific or bispecific antibodies) comprise a VH region or VH domain. Alternatively, in some embodiments, including human ROR1 antibodies, the ROR1 antibodies described herein (e.g., antibodies such as monospecific or bispecific antibodies) comprise a VL region or VL domain. In some embodiments, including human ROR1 antibodies, the ROR1 antibodies described herein (e.g., antibodies such as monospecific or bispecific antibodies) have a combination of: (i) a VH domain or VH region; and (ii) a VL domain or VL region.

[0403] In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody provided herein comprises VH, wherein the VH comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:25. In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody provided herein comprises VL, wherein the VL comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:26. In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody provided herein comprises VH, wherein the VH comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:25; and VL, wherein the VL comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:26.

[0404] In some embodiments, the ROR1 provided herein comprises an amino acid sequence having a certain percentage of identity (such as at least about 80%, or at least about 81%, or at least about 82%, or at least about 83%, or at least about 84%, or at least about 85%, or at least about 86%, or at least about 87%, or at least about 88%, or at least about 89%, or at least about 90%, or at least about 91%, or at least about 92%, or at least about 93%, or at least about 94%, or at least about 95%, or at least about 96%, or at least about 97%, or at least about 98%, or at least about 99%, or higher) relative to any antibody or fragment thereof provided herein (e.g., CDR, VH, or VL in Table 1) or any full-length antibody chain disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody provided herein comprises the CDR of any antibody or fragment thereof provided herein (e.g., in Table 1). In other embodiments, the ROR1 antibody provided herein comprises an amino acid sequence having a certain percentage of identity (such as at least about 80%, or at least about 81%, or at least about 82%, or at least about 83%, or at least about 84%, or at least about 85%, or at least about 86%, or at least about 87%, or at least about 88%, or at least about 89%, or at least about 90%, or at least about 91%, or at least about 92%, or at least about 93%, or at least about 94%, or at least about 95%, or at least about 96%, or at least about 97%, or at least about 98%, or at least about 99%, or higher) relative to any antibody or fragment thereof provided herein (e.g., VH or VL in Table 1) or any full-length antibody chain as disclosed herein.

[0405] The determination of the percentage of identity between two sequences (e.g., amino acid sequences or nucleic acid sequences) can be accomplished using mathematical algorithms. Non-limiting examples of mathematical algorithms used to compare two sequences are those in the following literature: Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264 2268 (1990), modified as in Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873 5877 (1993). Such algorithms are incorporated into the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403 (1990)). BLAST nucleotide searches can be performed using NBLAST nucleotide program parameter settings (e.g., score = 100, word length = 12) to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to the nucleic acid molecules described herein. BLAST protein searches can be performed using XBLAST program parameter settings (e.g., score 50, word length = 3) to obtain amino acid sequences homologous to the protein molecules described herein. For obtaining vacancy alignments for comparative purposes, vacancy BLAST can be used, as described in Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389 3402 (1997). In some embodiments, the percentage of identity between two sequences is calculated by dividing the number of residues that vary between the two sequences in the alignment (excluding or including conserved amino acid substitutions or degenerate nucleotide substitutions) by the number of residues of either: (i) the full length of the shorter sequence, (ii) the full length of the longer sequence, (iii) the average length of the two sequences, (iv) the total length of the non-vacancy portion in the alignment, (v) the alignment length excluding protrusions, or (vi) the alignment length including protrusions. As used herein with respect to sequence alignment, a protrusion refers to either end or both ends of the alignment, where residues in one sequence are considered not aligned with residues in the other sequence (e.g., vacancy). Alternatively, PSIBLAST can be used for iterative searching to detect distant relationships between molecules (as above). When using the BLAST, vacancy BLAST, and PSIBlast procedures, the default parameters of their respective procedures (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used (see, for example, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Another non-limiting example of a mathematical algorithm for comparing sequences is the one in Myers and Miller, CABIOS 4:11-17 (1998).Such algorithms are incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), which is part of the GCG sequence alignment software package. When using the ALIGN program to compare amino acid sequences, the PAM120 weighted residue table, vacancy length penalty 12, and vacancy penalty 4 can be used. The percentage of identity between two sequences can be determined using techniques similar to those described above, regardless of whether vacancies are allowed. When calculating the percentage of identity, only perfect matches are typically counted.

[0406] In some embodiments, the antibodies provided herein contain substitutions (e.g., conserved substitutions), insertions, or deletions relative to a reference sequence, but the antibodies containing said sequence retain their ability to bind to ROR1. In some embodiments, a total of 1 to 10 amino acids are substituted, inserted, and / or deleted in the reference amino acid sequence. In some embodiments, the substitutions, insertions, or deletions occur in regions outside the CDR (e.g., in FR and / or constant regions).

[0407] In some embodiments, the position of one or more CDRs along the VH (e.g., CDR1, CDR2, or CDR3) and / or VL (e.g., CDR1, CDR2, or CDR3) regions of the ROR1 antibody (including human ROR1 antibody) described herein may vary by one, two, three, four, five, or six amino acid positions, provided that binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, e.g., at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95%). For example, in some embodiments, the position of a CDR defined in Table 1 may be varied by shifting the N-terminal and / or C-terminal boundary of the CDR relative to the current CDR position by one, two, three, four, five, or six amino acids, provided that binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, e.g., at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95%). Alternatively, in some embodiments, the length of one or more CDRs along the VH (e.g., CDR1, CDR2, or CDR3) and / or VL (e.g., CDR1, CDR2, or CDR3) regions of the ROR1 antibody (including human ROR1 antibody) described herein may vary (e.g., shorten or lengthen) by one, two, three, four, five, or more amino acids, provided that binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, such as at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95%). For example, in some embodiments, the VH and / or VL CDR1, CDR2 and / or CDR3 described herein may be one, two, three, four, five or more amino acids shorter than one or more CDRs described by SEQ ID NO: 1-24, 36 and 37, provided that binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, e.g., at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% or at least 95%). In other embodiments, the VH and / or VL CDR1, CDR2 and / or CDR3 described herein may be one, two, three, four, five or more amino acids longer than one or more CDRs described by SEQ ID NO: 1-24, 36 and 37, provided that binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, e.g., at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% or at least 95%).In some embodiments, the amino terminus of the VH and / or VL CDR1, CDR2 and / or CDR3 described herein may be extended or shortened by one, two, three, four, five or more amino acids compared to one or more CDRs described by SEQ ID NO: 1-24, 36 and 37, provided that binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, e.g., at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% or at least 95%). Alternatively, in some embodiments, the carboxyl terminus of the VH and / or VL CDR1, CDR2 and / or CDR3 described herein may be extended or shortened by one, two, three, four, five or more amino acids compared to one or more CDRs described by SEQ ID NO: 1-24, 36 and 37, provided that binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, e.g., at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90% or at least 95%). Any method known in the art can be used to determine whether binding to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained, such as the binding assays and conditions described in the "Examples" section herein.

[0408] In other embodiments, the ROR1 antibodies (including human ROR1 antibodies) that bind to ROR1 provided herein also contain conserved sequence modifications. Conserved sequence modifications, relating to peptides that are ROR1 antibodies (such as human ROR1 antibodies), include conserved amino acid substitutions, including those in which an amino acid residue is replaced by an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains are defined in the art. Thus, in some embodiments, a predicted non-essential amino acid residue in ROR1 is replaced by another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Methods for identifying conserved amino acid substitutions that do not eliminate antigen binding and their encoding nucleotides are well known in the art (see, for example, Brummell et al., Biochem. 32:1180-1187 (1993); Kobayashi et al., Protein Eng. 12(10):879-884 (1999); and Burks et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:412-417 (1997)). In some embodiments, the conserved sequence modifications described herein modify the amino acid sequence of the ROR1 antibody (including the human ROR1 antibody) by 50%, or 55%, or 60%, or 65%, or 70%, or 75%, or 80%, or 85%, or 90%, or 95%, or 98%, or 99%. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence modification refers to a maximum of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 amino acid substitutions on the CDR, such as those described in any of Table 1. Thus, for example, each such CDR may contain up to 5 conserved amino acid substitutions, for example up to (but not exceeding) 4 conserved amino acid substitutions, for example up to (but not exceeding) 3 conserved amino acid substitutions, for example up to (but not exceeding) 2 conserved amino acid substitutions, or no more than 1 conserved amino acid substitution. In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody (including the human ROR1 antibody) contains one or more (including six) CDRs that have at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity with the CDRs of A27 (see, for example, Tables 1-2).

[0409] In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody (including the human ROR1 antibody) contains VH and VL, which contain the same CDRs as those in A27 (see, for example, Tables 1-2). In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence modifications do not include any modifications within the SDR. In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence modifications do not include any modifications within the CDRs (such as CDR1, CDR2, CDR3, or any combination thereof). Alternatively or additionally, the amino acid sequence modifications are in the frame, constant region, and / or fragment crystallizable region (Fc).

[0410] In some embodiments, the antibodies or fragments provided herein comprise a VH domain having at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:25; and / or a VL domain having at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:26, and the binding of the antibody or fragment to ROR1 (e.g., human ROR1) is maintained (e.g., substantially maintained, e.g., at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95%).

[0411] In some embodiments, functional epitopes can be localized, for example, by combining alanine scans, to identify amino acids in the ROR1 protein essential for interaction with the ROR1 antibody provided herein. In some embodiments, epitopes can be identified using the conformation and crystal structure of a ROR1 antibody bound to ROR1. In some embodiments, this disclosure provides an antibody that specifically binds to the same epitope as any ROR1 antibody provided herein.

[0412] For example, in some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody (e.g., an antibody) provided herein binds to the same epitopes as an anti-ROR1 antibody, which comprises VHCDR1, VH CDR2, and VH CDR3 as shown in VH containing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:25; and VL CDR1, VLCDR2, and VL CDR3 as shown in VL containing the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:26.

[0413] In some embodiments, the ROR1 antibody provided herein further comprises an Fc or a variant thereof. In some embodiments, the Fc comprises the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 38. In other embodiments, the Fc variant is a silent Fc (sFc). In other embodiments, the silent Fc comprises an alanine (Ala, A) residue at position Leu234 (L234) according to the EU numbering system and an alanine (Ala, A) residue at position Leu235 (L235) according to the EU numbering system. In some embodiments, the silent Fc comprises an alanine (Ala, A) residue at position Leu234 (L234) according to the EU numbering system, an alanine (Ala, A) residue at position Leu235 (L235) according to the EU numbering system, and a lysine (Lys, K) residue at position Pro329 (P329) according to the EU numbering system (also referred to herein as "LALAPK" or "L234A / L235A / P329K"). In some embodiments, the silent Fc comprises the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 39. Alternatively, the variant Fc region has reduced potential immunogenicity. In other embodiments, the variant Fc region comprises a glutamic acid (Glu, E) residue at position Asp356 (D356) according to the EU numbering system, a glutamic acid (Glu, E) residue at position Glu357 (E357) according to the EU numbering system, and a methionine (Met, M) residue at position Leu358 (L358) according to the EU numbering system (also referred to herein as “EEM” or “D356E / E357E / L358M”). Other suitable Fcs can be found, for example, in US20230071196 and US20220389055, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
