Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This article relates to the field of biomedicine, specifically to the combination of antibody-immunoagonist conjugates (AIACs) with anti-PD-1 antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Immunotherapy, as a novel modality for cancer treatment, has demonstrated potent efficacy. While immune checkpoint inhibitors (essentially T-cell-based therapies), represented by CLTA-4 and PD-1 / L1 monoclonal antibodies, have been approved for various cancer indications, many researchers are exploring other mechanisms of the immune system to combat cancer. Targeting myeloid cells (primarily macrophages or dendritic cells) has emerged as a promising direction. Activating macrophages and dendritic cells through agonists or macrophage checkpoint inhibitors not only enhances their phagocytic capacity to clear tumor cells but also promotes their antigen-presenting function, which will more powerfully stimulate adaptive anti-tumor immunity.
[0003] Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family with tyrosine kinase activity. HER2 amplification or overexpression occurs in approximately 15%–30% of breast cancers and 10%–30% of gastric / gastroesophageal cancers. HER2 overexpression has also been observed in other cancers such as ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, and head and neck cancer. (Iqbal N. et al., Mol Biol Int. 2014: 852748) Although HER2-targeted therapies (such as HER2-directed antibodies or antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)) have significantly improved life expectancy in patients with HER2-positive disease, HER2-positive breast cancer remains inherently a more aggressive form of the disease, with a poorer prognosis and less desirable outcomes compared to patients with HER2-negative (and HR-positive) disease. Furthermore, studies have confirmed that such therapies remain ineffective in other HER2-overexpressing cancers. One of the many reasons for these adverse outcomes is the development of resistance in patients receiving HER2-targeted therapies. Immune escape by tumor cells leads to this process.
[0004] TLR7 and TLR8 are two important pattern recognition receptors located in the endosomal membranes of macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. They instinctively sense viral ssRNA, thereby mediating the activation of immune cells and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Numerous studies have demonstrated the antitumor activity of TLR7 / 8 agonists. Imiquimod, a TLR7 agonist, has been approved for topical treatment of genital warts, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and actinic keratosis. Resiquimod, a dual TLR7 / 8 agonist, has been approved for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. However, the side effects induced by systemic administration of TLR7 / 8 agonists limit their use in a broader spectrum of cancers.
[0005] Drug resistance is another major obstacle in cancer therapy development. Intrinsic resistance and acquired new resistance mutations can be observed in conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Compensatory adaptation processes in oncogenic pathways have also been described as a resistance mechanism. In-depth research is underway to overcome this obstacle. The development of combination therapies often faces challenges such as limited clinical efficacy, more complex dosing regimens, pharmacological compatibility issues, and the resulting need for higher levels of risk management. Cost-effectiveness is also a factor to consider. Summary of the Invention

Biol References .196:901-917 (1987) are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The CDR definition by Kabat and Chothia includes overlaps or subsets of amino acid residues when compared to each other. However, the application of any definition relating to CDRs of antibodies or their variants is intended to fall within the scope of the terminology as defined and used herein. The exact number of residues constituting a particular CDR will vary depending on the sequence and size of the CDR. Those skilled in the art can routinely determine the residues of a CDR based on the amino acid sequence of the variable region of a given antibody.

Pharmacological Example 1: In vivo efficacy evaluation of the combination of AC102-8-1-1 and anti-mPD-1 antibody in the MC38-hHER2 homology model.
[0162] Materials: Tumor tissue from MC38-hHER2 homologous models was extracted from tumor-bearing mice. The MC38-hHER2 homologous model was established by subcutaneous injection of MC38-hHER2 cells (Biocytokines) into the right flank of 7- to 9-week-old C57BL / 6 mice. MC38-hHER2 cells are genetically modified MC38 cells (mouse colon cancer cells) that overexpress human HER2 while simultaneously knocking out mouse HER2.
[0163] Method: The tumor diameter was measured using calipers, and calculated according to the formula V = 0.5a×b 2 Calculate the tumor volume (where a is the long axis of the tumor and b is the short axis). The average tumor volume is approximately 100 mm². 3 -300mm 3Mice were randomly divided into the following groups: solvent group (G1), AC102-8-1-1 0.25 mg / kg group (G2), AC102-8-1-1 0.5 mg / kg group (G3), anti-mPD-1 antibody (mouse antibody, Biocytogen, 780120J2) 3 mg / kg group (G4), combination group of anti-mPD-1 antibody 3 mg / kg and AC102-8-1-1 0.25 mg / kg (G5), and combination group of anti-mPD-1 antibody 3 mg / kg and AC102-8-1-1 0.5 mg / kg (G6). AC102-8-1-1 was administered intravenously to tumor-bearing mice twice, on days 0 and 7. Anti-mPD-1 antibody was administered intraperitoneally to tumor-bearing mice four times, on days 0, 3, 7, and 10. Mice were administered PBS intravenously as a solvent twice, on days 0 and 7. Tumor volume was measured twice weekly in each group. The experiment ended on day 33 after the last administration, and the tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) on day 31 after grouping was calculated as follows: TGI (%) = [1 - (mean tumor volume of the treatment group on the end day - mean tumor volume of the treatment group on day 1) / (mean tumor volume of the solvent group on the end day - mean tumor volume of the solvent group on day 1)] × 100%. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0164] in conclusion
[0165] The results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1 As shown, both AC102-8-1-1 (0.25 mg / kg or 0.5 mg / kg) and anti-mPD-1 antibody (3 mg / kg) monotherapy can inhibit tumor growth, while the combination of AC102-8-1-1 (0.25 mg / kg or 0.5 mg / kg) and anti-mPD-1 antibody shows superior antitumor efficacy compared to either of the above monotherapy.
[0166] Throughout the study, the mice maintained good activity and appetite during the administration periods. After each administration, the mice experienced a slight decrease in body weight, which returned to normal within 3-7 days, and a slight increase in body weight was observed during the observation period. Based on these observations, the combined medication regimen demonstrated good safety.

[0169] On day 0, tumor-bearing mice were intravenously administered single doses of AC102-8-1-1, AC102-6-1-1, and OL-HX20042, respectively. On days 0 and 3, tumor-bearing mice were intraperitoneally administered anti-mPD-1 antibody twice. On day 0, a single dose of PBS was intravenously injected as the solvent. Tumor volume was measured twice weekly in each group of mice. The experiment ended on day 7, and the tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) was calculated as follows: TGI (%) = [1 - (mean tumor volume of the treatment group on the end day - mean tumor volume of the treatment group on day 1) / (mean tumor volume of the solvent group on the end day - mean tumor volume of the solvent group on day 1)] × 100%. The results are shown in Table 2.
