Technical Field
[0003] This disclosure relates to targeted therapy, and more specifically, to antibody-drug conjugates targeting EGFR and c-MET, methods for their preparation, and uses. Background Technology
[0004] EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor, abbreviated as EGFR, ErbB-1, or HER1) is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family. This family includes HER1 (erbB1, EGFR), HER2 (erbB2, NEU), HER3 (erbB3), and HER4 (erbB4). The HER family plays an important regulatory role in cellular physiological processes. EGFR is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 1210 amino acids, with a molecular weight of approximately 170 kDa. Its main structure includes a ligand-binding extracellular domain, a hydrophobic transmembrane region, and an intracellular region containing tyrosine kinases. EGFR is highly expressed in various tumors, including colorectal cancer, head and neck cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer, and is also expressed to some extent in normal epithelial tissues such as skin and lung. In tumor tissues, highly expressed EGFR homodimerizes or heterodimerizes by binding ligands such as EGF or TGFα. Dimerization leads to the activation of tyrosine kinases and protein phosphorylation in tumor cells, mediating gene transcription and the cell cycle. Activation of various cell signaling pathways plays an important role in promoting the survival, proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of tumor cells.
[0005] Met (c-MET), also known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR), is a heterodimeric transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor encoded by the Met proto-oncogene. c-MET is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 1390 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 190 kDa. It ultimately forms two polypeptide chains linked by disulfide bonds through cleavage: an α chain (50 kDa) and a β chain (140 kDa). From the extracellular space to the intracellular space, the MET protein can be divided into the SEMA domain (SEMA), the Plexin-semaphorin-integrin domain (PSI), four immunoglobulin-plexins-transcription domains (IPT), a transmembrane region, a juxtamembrane region (JM), a tyrosine kinase domain (TK), and a carboxyl terminal region (CT). The natural ligand for the c-MET receptor is hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), an inactive protein that is converted into its active form through proteolytic cleavage. Aberrant regulation of c-MET has been reported in various cancers, including colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, and breast cancer. Hyperactivation of c-MET and its downstream signaling pathways has been shown to trigger excessive proliferation, tumor invasion, and angiogenesis, and is associated with poor survival.
[0006] In tumors resistant to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), nearly 60% showed increased c-MET expression, amplified c-MET, or increased c-MET ligand HGF (Turke et al., Cancer Cell, 17:77-88, 2010), indicating that the tumor c-MET signaling pathway compensates for the EGFR signaling pathway. Both EGFR and c-MET transmit signals through the same survival and anti-apoptotic pathways (ERK and AKT). Simultaneous targeting of EGFR and c-MET holds promise for inhibiting both signaling pathways, preventing tumor development and progression caused by c-MET signaling pathway activation after EGFR inhibition, thereby improving overall efficacy and safety.
[0007] Anti-c-MET and anti-EGFR antibodies are known in the art. For example, Telisotuzumab vedotin (Teliso-v or ABBV399) disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 10603389 is an antibody-drug conjugate of VC-MMAE (vedotin) conjugated with anti-c-MET antibody ABT-700, and MRG003 (ADC-3 or MYK-3) disclosed in WO2023040941 is an antibody-drug conjugate of vedotin conjugated with anti-EGFR antibody BA03.
[0008] Several EGFR / c-Met bispecific antibodies have been disclosed in the art. The bispecific antibody BSAB01, disclosed in WO2010115551, comprises an EGFR-binding VH / VL pair (Fab) of cetuximab and a c-Met-binding VH / VL pair (Fab) of onartuzumab, and is currently in Phase III trials. US Patent No. 9593164 discloses Amivantamab, a bispecific antibody marketed as RYBREVANT®. Amivantamab includes an anti-EGFR Fab comprising VH and VL of zalutusumab (see US Patent Nos. 7247301 and 7595378) and an anti-cMET Fab comprising VH and VL of antibody 069 disclosed in US Patent No. 9068011. Sellman et al. (J Biol Chem. 291(48): 25106-25119(2016)) disclosed EGFR / c-Met bispecific antibodies conjugated to cytotoxins, and also disclosed EGFR / c-Met bispecific antibodies conjugated to vedotin. WO2023083846 discloses AZD9592, in which an EGFR / c-Met bispecific antibody is conjugated to a camptothecin derivative. There is a need in the art for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that bind to EGFR and c-MET and contain cytotoxic drugs. Invention Overview

Antibody light chains can be classified as κ (kappa) and λ (lambda) light chains. Heavy chains can be classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and antibody isotypes are defined as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within both the light and heavy chains, variable and constant regions are linked by a "J" region of approximately 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain also contains a "D" region of approximately 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a variable region (VL) and a constant region (CL). The constant region consists of a single CL domain. While not directly involved in antibody-antigen binding, the constant domain exhibits various effector functions, such as mediating interactions between immunoglobulins and host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into highly degenerated regions (called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)) interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs arranged in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4, from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus. The variable regions (VH and VL) of each heavy / light chain pair form the antigen-binding sites. The distribution of amino acids in different regions or domains can follow the definitions in Kabat, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987 and 1991)), or Chothia & Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883.
[0197] In this article, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, when referring to the term "antibody," it includes not only the complete antibody but also the antigen-binding fragment of the antibody.
[0198] The term "antibody" also includes embodiments in which the heavy chain constant region contains a C-terminal lysine, or lacks a C-terminal lysine, or a C-terminal glycine-lysine dipeptide. The term also includes embodiments in which the N-terminal amino acid of the antibody variable region has been cyclized into a pyroglutamate salt. Therefore, in compositions comprising the antibodies disclosed herein, various antibodies may independently contain a C-terminal lysine, lack a C-terminal lysine, lack a C-terminal glycine-lysine, and / or contain N-terminal glutamine or glutamate, or have an N-terminal amino acid cyclized into pyroglutamate.
[0199] As used in this article, the term "complementarity-determining region" or "CDR" refers to the amino acid residues in the antibody variable region responsible for antigen binding. The precise boundaries of these amino acid residues can be defined according to various numbering systems known in the art, such as the AbM numbering system (Martin ACR, Cheetham JC, Rees AR (1989) Modellingantibody hypervariable loops: A combined algorithm. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA86:9268–9272), the MacCallum numbering system (MacCallum et al., (1996) J Mol Biol 262: 732-745, and see also Martin A. “Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains,” Antibody Engineering, Kontermann and Dübel, eds., Chapter 31, pp. 422-439, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (2001)), and the AHo numbering system (Honegger and Plückthun, A., J. Mol. Biol. 309:657-670). The definitions in the (2001) or IMGT numbering system (Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003) are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the correspondences between different numbering systems are well known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, Lefranc et al., Dev. Comparat. Immunol. 27:55-77, 2003).
[0200] In this document, the CDR contained in the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present invention can be determined according to various numbering systems known in the art, such as the Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, or AbM numbering systems. In some embodiments, the CDR contained in the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is determined by the Chothia numbering system.
[0201] The following general rules (published at www.bioinf.org.uk: Professor Andrew CR Martin's research group) can be used to define CDRs in antibody sequences, which include amino acids that specifically interact with the amino acids contained in the antigenic epitope that binds to the antibody. In rare cases, these generally constant features may not appear; however, Cys residues are the most conserved feature.
[0202]
[0203] V H The complete amino acid sequence is typically numbered according to Kabat, while the three CDRs within the variable region can be defined according to any of the aforementioned numbering systems. In some embodiments, V H The amino acid sites in the sequence can be numbered sequentially starting from amino acid site 1 until the end of the sequence, or they can be numbered according to Kabat. Unless otherwise stated, the V mentioned herein... H and V L The amino acid sites in the sequence are defined according to their sequential numbering.
[0204] The amino acid sites in the heavy chain constant region can be numbered sequentially from amino acid site 1 to the end of the sequence, or they can be numbered according to Eu. The amino acid sequence of the IgG1 heavy chain constant region has 330 amino acids, numbered sequentially from 1 to 330. The corresponding sequence numbered according to Eu starts from site 118 and ends at site 447. Unless otherwise stated, the amino acid sites of the heavy and light chains described herein are defined according to sequential numbering.
[0205] As used herein, the term “framework region” or “FR” residues refer to those amino acid residues in the antibody variable region other than the CDR residues as defined above.
[0206] The term "antibody" is not limited to any particular method of producing antibodies. For example, it includes recombinant antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, and polyclonal antibodies. Antibodies can be different isotypes of antibodies, such as IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 subtypes), IgA1, IgA2, IgD, IgE, or IgM antibodies.
[0207] As used herein, the term "bispecific antibody" or "BsAb" refers to an antibody that has binding specificity to two different antigens (or epitopes) and comprises antigen-binding domains that are specific to the binding of different antigens (or epitopes), such as two antigen-binding domains that are specific to the binding of different antigens (or epitopes), thereby enabling binding to two different binding sites and / or target molecules. The individual antigen-binding domains of a bispecific antibody can be independently selected from full-length antibodies (e.g., IgG antibodies) or their antigen-binding fragments (e.g., Fv, Fab, scFab, or scFv). In some cases, the individual antigen-binding domains are linked by peptide linkers.
[0208] As used herein, the term "Fv fragment" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of the antibody. Fv fragments are generally considered to be the smallest antibody fragment capable of forming a complete antigen-binding site. It is generally believed that six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a variable region (such as the Fd fragment, which contains only three antigen-specific CDRs) can recognize and bind to antigens, although its affinity may be lower than that of a complete binding site.
[0209] As used herein, the term "Fc fragment" refers to an antibody fragment formed by the disulfide bonds between the second and third constant regions of the first heavy chain and the second and third constant regions of the second heavy chain. The Fc fragment of an antibody has various functions but does not participate in antigen binding.
[0210] As used herein, the term "scFv" refers to a single polypeptide chain containing VL and VH domains linked by a linker. Such scFv molecules may have a general structure: NH2-VL-linker-VH-COOH or NH2-VH-linker-VL-COOH. Suitable prior art peptide linkers consist of a repeating GGGGS amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO: 57) or a variant thereof, such as the amino acid sequence (GGGGS)4 (SEQ ID NO: 58), but variants thereof may also be used. In some cases, a disulfide bond may also exist between the VH and VL domains of the scFv.
[0211] As used herein, the term "Fab fragment" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains, typically consisting of one peptide chain containing VL and CL and another peptide chain containing VH and CH1. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the Fab domains may be arranged according to the natural orientation described above, but may also contain domain substitutions or exchanges that facilitate proper VH and VL pairing (e.g., domain exchanges in the form of Crossmab). The term "scFab" refers to a single polypeptide chain containing VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains, wherein adjacent domains are optionally linked by a linker. In a typical structure, the single polypeptide chain contained in scFab comprises from the N-terminus to the C-terminus: (1) VL, CL, VH, and CH1, wherein CL and VH are typically linked by a peptide linker (e.g., a flexible peptide linker), or (1) VH, CH1, VL, and CL, wherein CH1 and VL are typically linked by a peptide linker (e.g., a flexible peptide linker).
[0212] As used herein, the terms “monoclonal antibody,” “monoclonal antibody,” and “mAb” have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. They refer to an antibody or fragment thereof derived from a group of highly homologous antibody molecules—that is, a group of identical antibody molecules except for the possibility of spontaneous natural mutations. Monoclonal antibodies exhibit high specificity for a single epitope on an antigen. Polyclonal antibodies, as opposed to monoclonal antibodies, generally refer to antibodies or fragments thereof derived from a group of antibodies comprising at least two or more different antibodies that typically recognize different epitopes on an antigen. Furthermore, the modifier “monoclonal” only indicates that the antibody is derived from a highly homologous group of antibodies and should not be construed as requiring preparation by any specific method.
[0213] As used herein, the term "CrossMab" refers to a method for constructing bispecific antibodies by exchanging the heavy and light chain domains within the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of half of the bispecific antibody, allowing the light chain to correctly bind to its homologous heavy chain. This "exchange" preserves the antigen-binding affinity but makes the two arms so different that light chain mismatches no longer occur. Three possible forms of "CrossMab" are: CrossMab Fab CrossMab refers to the crossover or exchange of all VH-CH1 and VL-CL domain positions in half of a bispecific antibody. VH-VL This refers to the crossover or exchange of only the VH and VL domain positions in half of a bispecific antibody; and CrossMab CH1-CLThis refers to the crossover or exchange of the CH1 and CL domain positions within half of the Fab region of a bispecific antibody. CorssMab antibodies have been described or claimed in WO2009080252, WO2009080253, WO2009080251, WO2009080254, WO2010136172, WO2010145792 and WO2013026831. The term “CrossMab” antibody is recognized in the art; see, for example, Brinkmann and Kontennann, MAbs 9(2):182-212 (2017); Kontermann and Brinkmann, Drug Discovery Today 20(7): 838-846 (2015); Schaefer et al., PNAS, 108 11187-1191 (2011); Kleinet et al., MAbs 8(6): 1010-1020 (2016); and Klein et al., MAbs 4(6): 653-663 (2012).
[0214] As used herein, the term "specific binding" refers to a non-random binding reaction between two molecules, such as the reaction between an antibody and its target antigen. The strength or affinity of a specific binding interaction can be measured by the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) or half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of the interaction. 50 )express.
[0215] The specific binding properties between two molecules can be determined using methods known in the art. One method involves measuring the rate of antigen binding site / antigen complex formation and dissociation. The "binding rate constant" (k...) a or k on ) and "dissociation rate constant" (k dis or k off Both can be calculated from concentration and the actual rates of association and dissociation (see Malmqvist M, Nature, 1993, 361:186-187). dis / k on The ratio is equal to the dissociation constant KD (see Davies et al., Annual Rev Biochem, 1990; 59:439-473). KD and k can be measured by any effective method. on and k dis The dissociation constant can be measured using bioluminescence interferometry (e.g., the ForteBio Octet method) in some implementations. Alternatively, surface plasmon resonance techniques (e.g., Biacore) or Kinexa can be used.
[0216] As used herein, the term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid delivery vehicle into which polynucleotides can be inserted. When a vector enables the expression of a protein encoded by the inserted polynucleotide, it is called an expression vector. Vectors can be introduced into host cells through transformation, transduction, or transfection, allowing the genetic material elements they carry to be expressed in the host cells. Vectors are well-known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to: plasmids; phage particles; Cos plasmids; artificial chromosomes, such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PAC); bacteriophages such as λ phage or M13 phage; and animal viruses. Animal viruses that can be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retrotranscriptoviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses (such as herpes simplex virus), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and polyomaviruses (such as SV40). A vector may contain multiple elements controlling expression, including but not limited to, promoter sequences, transcription initiation sequences, enhancer sequences, selection elements, and reporter genes. Additionally, a vector may contain a replication initiation site.
[0217] Expression and cloning vectors contain nucleic acid sequences that enable the vector to replicate in one or more selected host cells. Typically, in cloning vectors, this sequence is the one that enables the vector to replicate independently of the host chromosomal DNA, and it includes an origin of replication or an autonomous replication sequence. As used herein, the term "expression vector" refers to a vector containing recombinant polynucleotides that include expression regulatory sequences effectively linked to the nucleotide sequence to be expressed. Expression vectors contain sufficient cis-acting elements for expression; other elements for expression may be provided by the host cell or an in vitro expression system. Expression vectors include all those known in the art, such as entrapments, plasmids (e.g., naked or contained in liposomes), and viruses (e.g., lentiviruses, retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses).
[0218] As used herein, the term "host cell" refers to cells that can be used to introduce a vector, including but not limited to prokaryotic cells such as Escherichia coli or Bacillus subtilis, fungal cells such as yeast cells or Aspergillus, insect cells such as S2 Drosophila cells or Sf9, or animal cells such as fibroblasts, NSO cells, Vero cells, HeLa cells, COS cells, CHO cells (e.g., CHO-K1, CHO-S, CHO DXB11, ExpiCHO, CHO DG44 cells), ExpiCHO cells, HEK293 cells, Expi293 cells, BHK cells, and MDCKII cells.
[0219] As used herein, the term "identity" refers to the sequence matching between two polypeptides or two nucleic acids. Two compared sequences are identical at a position when the same base or amino acid monomeric subunit occupies the same location (e.g., a position in each of two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, or a position in each of two polypeptides is occupied by lysine). The "percentage identity" between two sequences is a function of the number of matching positions shared by the two sequences divided by the number of positions compared × 100. For example, if six out of ten positions in two sequences match, then the two sequences have 60% identity. For example, the DNA sequences CTGACT and CAGGTT have 50% identity (three out of six positions match). Typically, two sequences are compared to produce the maximum identity. Such comparisons can be made using methods readily available, for example, computer programs such as the Align program (DNAstar, Inc.) Needleman et al. (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443-453. The percentage identity between two amino acid sequences can also be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller (Comput. Appl Biosci., 4:11-17 (1988)) integrated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), which uses a PAM120 weighted residue table, a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4. Alternatively, the Needleman algorithm in the GAP program integrated into the GCG software package (available at www.gcg.com) can be used, employing a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250 matrix, along with gap weights of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4, and length weights of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
[0220] The twenty common amino acids involved in this disclosure are written in accordance with conventional usage. See, for example, Immunology-ASynthesis (2nd Edition, ES Golub and DR Gren, Eds., Sinauer Associates, Sunderland, Mass. (1991)), which is incorporated herein by reference. In this disclosure, the terms “polypeptide” and “protein” have the same meaning and are used interchangeably. And in this disclosure, amino acids are generally represented by single-letter and three-letter abbreviations known in the art. For example, alanine may be represented by A or Ala.
[0221] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or excipient" means a carrier and / or excipient that is pharmacologically and / or physiologically compatible with the subject and the active ingredient, which is well known in the art (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences. Edited by Gennaro AR, 19th ed. Pennsylvania: Mack Publishing Company, 1995), and includes, but is not limited to: pH adjusters, surfactants, adjuvants, ionic strength enhancers, diluents, osmotic pressure maintaining agents, absorption delaying agents, and preservatives. For example, pH adjusters include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffers. Surfactants include, but are not limited to, cationic, anionic, or nonionic surfactants, such as Tween-80. Ionic strength enhancers include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride. Preservatives include, but are not limited to, various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, etc. Osmotic pressure maintaining agents include, but are not limited to, sugars, NaCl, and their analogues. Absorption delaying agents include, but are not limited to, monostearates and gelatin. Diluents include, but are not limited to, water, aqueous buffers (such as buffered saline), alcohols, and polyols (such as glycerol). Stabilizers have the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art; stabilizers are those that can stabilize the desired activity of the active ingredient in a pharmaceutical product, including but not limited to monosodium glutamate, gelatin, SPGA, sugars (such as sorbitol, mannitol, starch, sucrose, lactose, dextran, or glucose), amino acids (such as glutamic acid, glycine), proteins (such as dried whey, albumin, or casein) or their degradation products (such as lactalbumin hydrolysate).
[0222] As used herein, the terms “DAR” or “drug-antibody ratio” or “drug-antibody conjugate ratio” (as used interchangeably herein) refer to the average number of linker / payload portions present in the composition that are linked to each antibody. For a composition containing an ADC of the present disclosure, the DAR of the composition is the average of all DARs (linker-payload portions of all ADC molecules present in the composition), which may be expressed as a decimal or an integer. Thus, in some embodiments of the compositions comprising ADC disclosed herein, the DAR of the composition is a decimal or integer among 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1~2, 1~3, 1~4, 1~5, 1~6, 1~7, 1~8, 1~9, 1~10, 2~3, 2~4, 2~5, 2~6, 2~7, 2~8, 2~9, 2~10, 3~4, 3~5, 3~6, 3~7, 3~8, 3~9, 3~10, 4~5, 4~6, 4~7, 4~8, 4~9, 4~10, 5~6, 5~7, 5~8, 5~9, 5~10, 6~7, 6~8, 6~9, 6~10, 7~8, 7~9, 7~10, 8~9, 8~10, or 9~10. In additional embodiments, for compositions of the present disclosure containing an ADC, the DAR of the composition is 3.0~3.5, 3.0~4.0, 3.0~4.5, 3.0~5.0, 3.0~5.5, 3.0~6.0, 3.5~4.0, 3.5~4.5, 3.5~5.0, 3.5~5.5, 3.5~6.0, 3.5~6.5, 3.5~7.0, 3.5~7.5, 3.5~8.0, 4.0~4.5, 4.0~5.0, 4.0~5.5, 4.0~6.0, 4.0~6.5, 4.0~7.0, 4.0~7.5, 4.0~8.0, 4.5~5.

As used above, the term "composition" is understood to include pharmaceutical compositions. Mean DAR can be determined by a variety of conventional methods, such as ultraviolet spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA, radiometrics, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC), electrophoresis, and HPLC.
[0223] As used herein, the term "prevention" refers to a method implemented to prevent or delay the occurrence of a disease, condition, or symptom (e.g., a tumor) in a subject. As used herein, the term "treatment" refers to a method implemented to obtain a beneficial or desired clinical outcome. For the purposes of this disclosure, beneficial or desired clinical outcomes include, but are not limited to, alleviating symptoms, reducing the extent of the disease, stabilizing (i.e., no longer worsening) the state of the disease, delaying or slowing the progression of the disease, improving or alleviating the state of the disease, and relieving symptoms (whether partial or complete), whether detectable or undetectable. Furthermore, "treatment" can also mean prolonged survival compared to expected survival (if no treatment was received).
[0224] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to a mammal, such as a primate mammal, like a human. In some embodiments, the subject (e.g., a human) has a tumor, or is at risk of having the disease described herein.
[0225] As used herein, the term "effective amount" means an amount sufficient to achieve, or at least partially achieve, the desired effect. For example, a preventive effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent, stop, or delay the onset of a disease (e.g., a tumor); a therapeutic effective amount is an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially stop an existing disease and its complications. Determining such an effective amount is entirely within the capabilities of those skilled in the art. For example, an effective amount for therapeutic use will depend on the severity of the disease to be treated, the overall state of the patient's own immune system, the patient's general characteristics such as age, weight, and sex, the manner of administration of the drug, and other concurrent treatments, etc.
[0226] As used herein, the term "effector function" refers to the biological activities attributable to the antibody's Fc region (either the native sequence Fc region or the Fc region of an amino acid sequence variant), and which vary with the antibody's Fc region. Examples of antibody effector functions include, but are not limited to: Fc receptor binding affinity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent phagocytosis (ADCP), binding to cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors), B cell activation, cytokine secretion, and the half-life / clearance of antibodies and antigen-antibody complexes. Methods for altering antibody effector functions are known in the art, for example, by introducing mutations into the Fc region.
[0227] As used herein, the term “antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)” refers to a form of cytotoxicity in which Ig interacts with Fc receptors (FcRs) present on cytotoxic cells (such as natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, or macrophages) to specifically bind to antigen-attached target cells and then kill the target cells by secreting cytotoxins.
[0228] In this document, combination therapy includes the use of the bispecific antibody or pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein in combination with one or more other active therapeutic agents of a second therapy (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents) or other preventive or therapeutic modalities (e.g., radiotherapy).
[0229] In such combination therapies, the various active agents often have different complementary mechanisms of action, and the combination therapy may lead to a synergistic effect. Combination therapies include therapeutic agents that affect the immune response (e.g., enhance or activate the response) and therapeutic agents that affect (e.g., inhibit or kill) tumor / cancer cells. Combination therapies can reduce the likelihood of drug-resistant cancer cells developing. Combination therapies may allow for a reduction in the dosage of one or more agents in the regimen to reduce or eliminate adverse effects associated with one or more of the agents. Such combination therapies may have a synergistic therapeutic or preventative effect on underlying diseases, conditions, or symptoms.
[0230] As used herein, "combination" includes therapies that can be administered separately, such as those formulated separately for individual administration (e.g., those provided in a kit), and therapies that can be administered together as a single formulation (i.e., a "co-formulation"). In some embodiments, the bispecific antibody of this disclosure may be administered sequentially. In other embodiments, the bispecific antibody may be administered simultaneously. The bispecific antibody of this disclosure may be used in combination with at least one other (active) pharmaceutical agent in any manner.
[0231] The terms "cancer" and "tumor" are used interchangeably to refer to a large class of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Uncontrolled cell division can lead to the formation of malignant tumors or cells that invade adjacent tissues and can metastasize to distant parts of the body via the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Cancer includes benign and malignant cancers, as well as dormant tumors or micrometastases. Cancer also includes hematologic malignancies.
[0232] The term "alkyl" refers to a group obtained by removing one hydrogen atom from a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group, such as "C". 1-20 Alkyl", C 1-10 Alkyl", C 1-6 Alkyl", C 1-4 Alkyl", C 1-3Alkyl groups, etc., specific examples include but are not limited to: methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, 2-methylbutyl, neopentyl, 1-ethylpropyl, n-hexyl, isohexyl, 3-methylpentyl, 2-methylpentyl, 1-methylpentyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 2,3-dimethylbutyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, etc.

[0239] abbreviation
[0240] The abbreviations used in this article have the following meanings:
[0241] Antibody-drug conjugates
[0242] In one aspect, this application provides a solution having the formula Ab-[MLED] x The antibody-drug conjugate shown has the following structure: Ab is a bispecific antibody or its antigen-binding fragment containing a first antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to c-MET and a second antigen-binding domain that specifically binds to EGFR. M is the linker site that is linked to the bispecific antibody or its antigen-binding fragment; L is a structural segment connecting the joint portions M and E; E is a structural segment connecting L and D; D is a cytotoxic drug or a fragment thereof; and x is any integer from 1 to 10.
[0243] Antibodies for ADC
[0244] In a specific embodiment, the bispecific antibody of the ADC is a bispecific antibody with high affinity for both EGFR and c-MET. It can specifically recognize / bind to EGFR and c-MET, and can block the binding of EGF to EGFR and / or HGF to c-MET, thereby simultaneously blocking the downstream signaling pathways of EGFR and / or c-MET, causing cell proliferation inhibition.
[0245] In some embodiments, the first antigen-binding domain includes a first light chain variable region (VL) and a first heavy chain variable region (VH), wherein the first VL and the first VH together form a domain capable of specifically binding c-MET; the second antigen-binding domain includes a second VL and a second VH, wherein the second VL and the second VH together form a domain capable of specifically binding EGFR.
[0246] In some embodiments, the first antigen-binding domain and the second antigen-binding domain are each independently selected from scFv, Fab, and scFab.
[0247] Unless otherwise explicitly stated, Fab domains may be arranged according to their natural orientation or may contain domain substitutions or exchanges that facilitate proper VH and VL pairing (e.g., domain exchanges of the form CrossMab).
[0248] CrossMab is a method for preventing light chain and heavy chain mismatch, see US Patent US9266967B2, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. This method primarily utilizes the principle of mutual repulsion among the same parts of an antibody, i.e., VH vs. VH, CH1 vs. CH1, CL vs. CL, and VL vs. VL. It prevents light chain mismatch by exchanging regions of the heavy and light chains of one of the Fab components in a bispecific antibody (e.g., exchanging light chain CL-VL with heavy chain CH1-VH, VL and VH, or CH and CL).
[0249] In some implementations, the CrossMab-style domain swaps are selected from: CrossMab Fab In the Fab, the antibody light chain CL-VL and the antibody heavy chain CH1-VH were interchanged; CrossMab VH-VL In Fab, the VL and VH of the antibody were interchanged; and CrossMab CH1-CLIn Fab, the CH and CL of the antibody are interchanged.
[0250] In some embodiments, the bispecific antibody further comprises an Fc domain. In some embodiments, the Fc domain comprises a first domain monomer and a second Fc domain monomer. In some embodiments, the first and second Fc domain monomers each independently comprise one or more amino acid modifications that, relative to homodimerization, promote heterodimerization of the first and second Fc domain monomers.
[0251] In some embodiments, the Fc domain comprises a first Fc domain monomer containing amino acid modifications capable of forming a knot structure and a second Fc domain monomer containing amino acid modifications capable of forming a hole structure, wherein the hole structure can pair with the knot structure to form a heterodimerized Fc domain (Fc heterodimer).
[0252] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the hole structure can pair with the knot structure to form a "knobin hole structure (KIH)". The "knob in hole structure" is a method for reducing heavy chain mismatches in bispecific antibodies by introducing amino acid modifications that form a "knob" and a "hole" structure at corresponding positions in the CH3 domains of two Fc domain monomers, respectively, to form a specific interaction interface between the two Fc domain monomers (see Ridgway et al., Protein Eng., 9: 617-621 (1996); WO 2006 / 028936; the entire text of which is incorporated herein by reference). Due to the mutual attraction between the "knob" and "hole" structures and the mutual repulsion between the "knob" and "knob" structures, heavy chain mismatches in bispecific antibodies can be effectively reduced.
[0253] WO9850431 discloses amino acid modifications that promote heterodimer formation, specifically a KIH method for generating Fc domain monomer heterodimers. In this KIH method, one Fc domain monomer in the heterodimer pair contains an amino acid substitution that produces a protrusion (knob) extending outward from the surface of the Fc domain monomer. This protrusion is adapted to a depression (hole) created by an appropriate amino acid substitution in the other Fc domain monomer in the heterodimer pair. This promotes heterodimer formation more than homodimer formation. Examples of amino acid substitutions include S354C:T366W amino acid substitution of the first Fc domain monomer to form a knob, and Y349C:T366S:L368A:Y407V amino acid substitution of the second Fc domain monomer to form a hole (amino acids according to EU index numbers), wherein the first and second Fc domain monomers form a heterodimer pair. WO2014084607 discloses a KIH, wherein the Fc heterodimer comprises a first Fc domain monomer and a second Fc domain monomer, the first Fc domain monomer comprising a K409W amino acid substitution to form a knot, and the second Fc domain monomer comprising D399V and F405T amino acid substitutions to form a hole (amino acid numbers according to the EU index), wherein the first and second Fc domain monomers form a heterodimer pair. WO2013063702 discloses a KIH, wherein the Fc heterodimer comprises a first Fc domain monomer comprising amino acid modifications at positions T350, L351, F405, and Y407, and a second Fc domain monomer comprising amino acid modifications at positions T350, T366, K392, and T394 (amino acid numbers according to the EU index), wherein the first and second Fc domain monomers form a heterodimer pair.
[0254] In some embodiments, the Fc domain monomer is derived from the Fc domain of a human immunoglobulin and modified based on the Fc domain to obtain an Fc domain monomer capable of forming a knock or hole structure. For example, the amino acid sequence of a first Fc domain monomer is modified in a specific region to provide a knock structure, and the amino acid sequence of a second Fc domain monomer is modified in a corresponding region to provide a hole structure capable of accepting a knock structure on the first Fc domain monomer, thereby allowing the first and second Fc domain monomers to form heterodimer pairs while preventing them from forming homodimer pairs. In some embodiments, the human immunoglobulin is IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4. In some embodiments, the Fc domain monomer contains one or more modifications that form a knock structure, wherein the one or more modifications contain S354C and / or T366W amino acid substitutions, numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme. In some embodiments, the Fc domain monomer contains S354 and T366W amino acid substitutions, numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme. In some embodiments, the Fc domain monomer comprises one or more modifications forming a hole structure, wherein said one or more modifications comprise amino acid substitutions of Y349C, T366S, L368A, and / or Y407V, wherein the substitutions are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme.
[0255] In some embodiments, the Fc domain further possesses altered effector functions (e.g., enhanced ADCC activity) compared to the wild-type Fc region. These altered effector functions can be introduced, for example, by mutation or chemical modification of the Fc domain monomer in the Fc heterodimer.
[0256] In a further embodiment, the first and second Fc domain monomers further comprise one or more amino acid substitutions that reduce or eliminate the function of the Fc region effectors. In certain specific embodiments, the first and second Fc domain monomers further comprise: (i) E233A and L235A (EALA) amino acid substitutions, wherein the amino acids are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; (ii) L234A and L235A (LALA) amino acid substitutions, wherein the amino acids are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; (iii) L234A L235A D265S (LALADS) amino acid substitutions, wherein the amino acids are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; (iv) L234A L235A P329G (LALAPG) amino acid substitutions, wherein the amino acids are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; (v) L235E (LE) amino acid substitutions, wherein the amino acids are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; (vi) D265A (DS) amino acid substitutions, wherein the amino acids are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; (vii) D265A N297G (DANG) amino acid substitutions, wherein the amino acids are numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; (viii) N297X amino acid substitution, where X is any amino acid other than N, numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; or (ix) N297A / D356E / L358M (NADELM) amino acid substitution, numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme; or (x) D356E L358M (DELM) amino acid substitution, numbered according to the Eu numbering scheme.

[0286] In some embodiments, this disclosure provides an ADC comprising a bispecific antibody that cross-competes with any antibody described herein for binding to c-MET and / or EGFR. In some embodiments, this disclosure provides an ADC comprising a bispecific antibody that binds to the same or overlapping epitopes of c-MET and / or EGFR with the antibody described herein.
[0287] In some implementations, the epitopes of the antibody can be determined by, for example, NMR spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance (BIAcore®), X-ray diffraction crystallography, ELISA assays, hydrogen / deuterium exchange and mass spectrometry (e.g., liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry), array-based oligopeptide scanning assays and / or mutagenesis mapping (e.g., site-directed mutagenesis mapping). For X-ray crystallography, crystallization can be performed using any method known in the art (e.g., Gigé R et al., (1994) Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr 50 (Pt 4): 339-350; McPherson A (1990) Eur J Biochem 189: 1-23; Chayen NE (1997) Structure 5: 1269-1274; McPherson A (1976) J Biol Chem 251: 6300-6303, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety). Antibody: Antigen crystals can be studied using well-known X-ray diffraction techniques and can be refined using computer software such as X-PLOR (Yale University, 1992, published by Molecular Simulations, Inc.; see, for example, Meth Enzymol (1985) volumes 114 & 115, edited by Eds. Wyckoff HW et al.; US Patent Application No. 2004 / 0014194) and BUSTER (Bricogne G (1993) Acta Crystallogr. D. Biocrystals 49 (Pt 1): 37-60; Bricogne G (1997) Meth Enzymol 276A: 361-423, ed Carter CW; Roversi P et al., (2000) Acta Crystallogr D Biol Crystallogr 56 (Pt 10): 1316-1323, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety). Mutagenic mapping studies can be performed using any method known to those skilled in the art. Descriptions of mutagenic techniques, including alanine scan mutagenesis, can be found, for example, in Champe M et al. (1995) and Cunningham BC and Wells JA (1989). In one specific embodiment, alanine scan mutagenesis is used to identify the epitopes of the antibody. Additionally, bispecific antibodies that recognize and bind to the same or overlapping epitopes of c-MET and / or EGFR can be identified using conventional techniques such as immunoassays, for example by demonstrating the ability of one antibody to block the binding of another antibody to the target antigen, i.e., a competitive binding assay. Competitive binding assays can also be used to determine whether two antibodies have similar binding specificity to the epitopes.Competitive binding can be determined in assays that specifically bind to a reference antibody against a common antigen (such as c-MET or EGFR). Several types of competitive binding assays are known, such as: solid-phase direct or indirect radioimmunoassay (RIA), solid-phase direct or indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA), sandwich competitive assay (see Stahli C et al., (1983) Method Enzyme Mole 9: 242-253); solid-phase direct biotinylate EIA (see Kirkland TN et al., (1986) J immunl 137: 3614-9); solid-phase direct labeling, solid-phase direct labeling sandwich assay (see Harlow E & Lane D, (1988) Antibodies: Laboratory Handbook, Cold Spring Harbor); solid-phase direct labeling RIA using I-125 labeling (see Morel GA et al., (1988) Mol Immunol 25(1): 7-15); solid-phase direct biotin-avidinase immunoassay (see Zhang RC et al., (1990) Virology 176:546-52); and directly labeled RIA (see Moldenhauer G et al., (1990) Scand J Immunol 32: 77-82), all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Typically, such assays involve the use of purified antigens (e.g., c-MET or EGFR) or cells containing any of the above, bound to a solid surface, unlabeled target immunoglobulin, and labeled reference immunoglobulin. Competitive inhibition can be determined by measuring the amount of labeling bound to the solid surface or cells in the presence of the target immunoglobulin. Typically, an excess of the target immunoglobulin is present. Typically, when an excess of the competitive antibody is present, it will inhibit the specific binding of the reference or antibody to the same antigen by at least 50-55%, 55-60%, 60-65%, 65-70%, 70-75%, or more. Competitive binding assays can be configured in a wide variety of formats using labeled antigens or labeled antibodies. In a common version of this assay, the antigen is immobilized on a 96-well plate. Radioactive or enzyme labeling is then used to determine the ability of the unlabeled antibody to block the binding of the labeled antibody to the antigen.For further details, see, for example, Wagener C et al., (1983) J immunl 130: 2308-2315; Weiner et al., (1984) Immunomethods 68: 269-274; Kuroki M et al., (1990) Cancer Res 50: 4872-4879; Kuroki M et al., (1992) Immunol Invest 21: 523-538; Kuroki M et al., (1992) Hybridoma 11: 391-407 and Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Ed Harlow E & Lane D eds., pp. 386-389, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0501] Couplet
[0502] In another aspect, this application provides a method for preparing the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) described herein by combining the adapter-load described herein with the antibody described herein.
[0503] In some implementations, the antibody described herein binds to the adapter-load described herein by binding to lysine residues in the antibody.
[0504] In some embodiments, the antibody described herein binds to the linker-loador described herein by binding to cysteine residues in the antibody. In some embodiments, the cysteine residues are derived from reduced intrachain disulfide bonds in the antibody. In some embodiments, the cysteine residues are derived from reduced interchain disulfide bonds in the antibody.
[0505] In some embodiments, the antibody is conjugated to the linker-payload by conjugation to reduced interchain disulfide bonds in the antibody. For example, an IgG1 antibody consists of four polypeptide chains, two heavy chains containing VH, CH1, and Fc (e.g., hinge region, CH2, and CH3) domains, and two light chains containing VL and CL domains, linked by interchain cysteine disulfide bonds (-SS-) (e.g., two heavy-to-light chain interchain disulfide bonds and two hinge-to-heavy chain interchain disulfide bonds). In some embodiments, when these disulfide bonds break under reducing conditions, eight (8) reactive cysteine thiol moieties are generated. In some embodiments, each of the eight reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a linker-drug conjugate site, thus allowing up to eight (x = 8) linker-payloads to be conjugated to the reduced antibody. In some embodiments, any one of the four disulfide bonds breaks under reducing conditions, generating two (2) reactive cysteine thiol moieties. In a further embodiment, each of the two reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a linker-drug junction, thus allowing two (x = 2) linker-drugs to the reducing antibody. In some embodiments, any two of the four disulfide bonds break under reducing conditions, resulting in four (4) reactive cysteine thiol moieties. In a further embodiment, each of the four reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a linker-drug junction, thus allowing four (x = 4) linker-drugs to the reducing antibody. In some embodiments, any three of the four disulfide bonds break under reducing conditions, resulting in six (6) reactive cysteine thiol moieties. In a further embodiment, each of the six reactive cysteine thiol moieties is a linker-drug junction, thus allowing six (x = 6) linker-drugs to the reducing antibody.
[0506] In some embodiments, the interchain disulfide bond is located between two cysteine residues that cleave under reducing conditions to produce two reactive cysteine thiol moieties.
