Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the biopharmaceutical field, specifically to the use of bispecific antibody-drug conjugates targeting HER2. Background Technology
[0002] Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor belonging to the epidermal growth factor receptor (ERBB) family. It plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Unlike other family members (such as HER1, HER3, and HER4), HER2 lacks a known natural ligand but can activate downstream signaling pathways by forming heterodimers with other ERBB receptors. HER2 regulates cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and migration. HER2 gene amplification or protein overexpression is commonly found in various solid tumors, including breast cancer and gastric cancer, and is closely associated with high tumor invasiveness and poor prognosis. Representative HER2-targeted therapies include trastuzumab (Herceptin) and pertuzumab (Perjeta), which bind to different domains of HER2, inhibiting signal transduction and inducing antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC).
[0003] Antibody drugs are widely used in cancer treatment. Because antibodies can selectively bind to antigens or antigen-positive cells, they exhibit low off-target toxicity. However, antibody drugs alone are often insufficient to effectively combat tumors. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine the advantages of antibodies and cytotoxins, enhancing the effectiveness and selectivity of tumor cell killing. Since the approval of the first ADC drug, Mylotarg, in 2000, 15 ADC drugs have been approved for marketing, and many more ADC drugs targeting different targets and employing different conjugation technologies are currently in clinical trials.
[0004] Patent application WO2023280092 discloses a bispecific antibody-drug conjugate targeting HER2, and it is necessary to explore its clinical application prospects in different types of tumors. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Terminology Definition
[0012] Unless otherwise indicated or defined, all terms used herein have their ordinary meaning as will be understood by those skilled in the art. References include, for example, standard manuals such as Sambrook et al., “Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual” (2nd edition), Volumes 1–3, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1989); Lewin, “Genes IV”, Oxford University Press, New York, (1990); and Roitt et al., “Immunology” (2nd edition), Gower Medical Publishing, London, New York (1989), and general prior art cited herein; furthermore, unless otherwise stated, all methods, steps, techniques, and operations not specifically detailed herein can and have been performed in a manner known per se as will be understood by those skilled in the art. Also refer to, for example, standard manuals, the aforementioned general prior art, and other references cited therein.
[0013] The terms "complete antibody," "full-length antibody," or "all antibody" are used interchangeably herein and generally refer to an immunoglobulin molecule composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains (each pair having one "light" (L) chain and one "heavy" (H) chain). Antibody light chains can be classified as κ and λ 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 light and heavy chains, variable and constant regions can be linked by a "J" region of approximately 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain may also contain a "D" region of approximately 3 or more amino acids. The heavy chain can consist of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region can consist of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). The light chain can consist of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region can consist of a single domain, CL. The constant regions of an antibody mediate the binding of immunoglobulins to 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). For example, VH and VL may each contain or consist of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus, in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions (VH and VL) of each heavy / light chain pair form the antibody binding sites.
[0014] The complementarity-determining region (CDR) or CDR is a region within the antibody variable domain that is highly variable in sequence and forms a structurally defined loop ("hypervariant loop") and / or contains antigen contact residues ("antigen contact sites"). The CDR is primarily responsible for binding to antigen epitopes. The CDRs of the heavy and light chains are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, numbered sequentially starting from the N-terminus. CDRs located within the antibody heavy chain variable domain are called HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, while those located within the antibody light chain variable domain are called LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3. In a given light chain variable region or heavy chain variable region amino acid sequence, the precise amino acid sequence boundaries of each CDR can be determined using any of a number of known antibody CDR assignment systems or combinations thereof, including, for example: Chothia (Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342: 877-883, Al-Lazikani et al., “Standard conformations for the canonical structures of immunoglobulins”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 273, 927-948 (1997)) based on antibody sequence variability; Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 4th edition, US Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (1987)), AbM (University of Bath), Contact (University College London), and the international ImMunoGeneTics database. (IMGT) (on the World Wide Web imgt.cines.fr / ), and the North CDR definition based on affinity propagation clustering using a large number of crystal structures (North et al., “A New Clustering of AntibodyCDR Loop Conformations”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 406, 228-256 (2011)).
[0015] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the Kabat assignment system is used to determine the CDR region:
[0016] The term "antibody" is not limited to any particular method of producing antibodies. For example, it includes, in particular, 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.
[0017] In this application, the term "bispecific antibody" generally refers to an antibody capable of binding to two antigens or antigenic epitopes, respectively. In some embodiments of the invention, the bispecific antibody may include a light chain and a heavy chain of an antibody capable of specifically binding to a first antigen or antigenic epitope, and a light chain and a heavy chain of an antibody capable of specifically binding to a second antigen or antigenic epitope. In one embodiment of this application, the light chain of the antibody capable of specifically binding to the first antigen or antigenic epitope and the light chain of the antibody capable of specifically binding to the second antigen or antigenic epitope in the bispecific antibody have the same sequence; the two or more light chains having the same sequence are referred to in this application as a "common light chain." In one embodiment of this application, the heavy chain of the antibody capable of specifically binding to the first antigen or antigenic epitope and the heavy chain of the antibody capable of specifically binding to the second antigen or antigenic epitope in the bispecific antibody have different sequences.
[0018] The term "epitope" or "antigenic epitope" generally refers to a site on an antigen that is specifically bound by an immunoglobulin or antibody. "Epitope" is also known in the art as an "antigenic determinant." An epitope or antigenic determinant typically consists of chemically active surface groups of a molecule, such as amino acids or carbohydrate or sugar side chains, and usually has specific three-dimensional structural features and specific charge characteristics. For example, an epitope typically comprises at least 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 consecutive or discontinuous amino acids in a unique spatial conformation, which can be "linear" or "conformal." See, for example, Epitope Mapping Protocols in Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 66, GE Morris, Ed. (1996). In a linear epitope, all points of interaction between the protein and interacting molecules (e.g., antibodies) are linear along the primary amino acid sequence of the protein. In a conformational epitope, points of interaction are separated by protein amino acid residues.
[0019] The term "specificity" refers to the number of different types of antigens or epitopes that a particular antigen-binding molecule or antigen-binding protein can bind. Specificity can be determined based on the affinity and / or cohesion of the antigen-binding protein. Affinity, expressed as the dissociation equilibrium constant (KD) between the antigen and the antigen-binding protein, is a measure of the strength of binding between the epitope and the antigen-binding site on the antigen-binding protein: the smaller the KD value, the stronger the binding between the epitope and the antigen-binding protein (or, affinity can also be expressed as the association constant (KA), which is 1 / KD). As those skilled in the art will understand, affinity can be determined in known ways depending on the specific antigen of interest. Affinity is a measure of the strength of binding between an antigen-binding protein (e.g., an immunoglobulin, antibody, a single variable domain of an immunoglobulin, or a polypeptide containing such a domain) and the associated antigen. Affinity relates to both the affinity between the antigen and the antigen-binding site on the antigen-binding protein and the number of associated binding sites present on the antigen-binding protein.
[0020] As used in this application, the term "domain" (of a polypeptide or protein) refers to a folded protein structure that is able to maintain its tertiary structure independently of the rest of the protein. Generally, a domain is responsible for a single functional property of a protein and in many cases can be added to, removed from, or transferred to other proteins without loss of the function of the rest of the protein and / or the domain itself.
[0021] As used herein, the term "immunoglobulin domain" refers to a globular region of an antibody chain (e.g., a chain of a conventional four-chain antibody or a chain of a heavy-chain antibody), or to a polypeptide that is substantially composed of such globular regions. An immunoglobulin domain is characterized by its ability to maintain the immunoglobulin folding characteristics of the antibody molecule.
[0022] As used herein, the term "immunoglobulin variable domain" refers to an immunoglobulin domain substantially composed of four "frame regions" referred to in the art and hereinafter as "frame region 1" or "FR1", "frame region 2" or "FR2", "frame region 3" or "FR3", and "frame region 4" or "FR4", respectively, and three "complementarity-determining regions" or "CDRs" spaced apart from the frame regions, referred to in the art and hereinafter as "complementarity-determining region 1" or "CDR1", "complementarity-determining region 2" or "CDR2", and "complementarity-determining region 3" or "CDR3", respectively. Therefore, the general structure or sequence of an immunoglobulin variable domain can be represented as: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4. The immunoglobulin variable domain confers antibody specificity for antigens by possessing antigen-binding sites.
[0023] The term "Fc region" is used herein to define the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain containing at least a portion of its constant region. This term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. A native immunoglobulin "Fc domain" contains two or three constant domains: a CH2 domain, a CH3 domain, and optionally a CH4 domain. For example, in native antibodies, the immunoglobulin Fc domain contains the second and third constant domains (CH2 and CH3 domains) of two heavy chains derived from IgG, IgA, and IgD antibodies; or it contains the second, third, and fourth constant domains (CH2, CH3, and CH4 domains) of two heavy chains derived from IgM and IgE antibodies. Unless otherwise stated herein, amino acid residues in the Fc region or heavy chain constant region are numbered according to the EU numbering system (also known as the EU index) as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interes, 5th edition, Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991. In this document, the term "Fc region" excludes the heavy chain variable region VH and light chain variable region VL of immunoglobulins, as well as the heavy chain constant region CH1 and light chain constant region CL, but in some cases may include the hinge region at the N-terminus of the heavy chain constant region.
[0024] The term "protein-drug conjugate" generally refers to a binding protein (e.g., an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment) linked to one or more chemical drugs, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The chemical drug can be any therapeutic agent and / or cytotoxic agent. The antibody-drug conjugate can have any number of drugs conjugated to the antibody from 1 to 16, for example, it can include 2, 4, 6, or 8 drug-loaded species. In this invention, the drug can include mitotic inhibitors, antitumor antibiotics, immunomodulators, vectors for gene therapy, alkylating agents, anti-angiogenic agents, antimetabolites, boron-containing agents, chemotherapeutic agents, hormones, anti-hormonal agents, corticosteroids, photosensitizing agents, oligonucleotides, radioactive isotopes, topoisomerase inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and / or radiosensitizers, etc.
[0025] The term "drug:antibody ratio" or "DAR" refers to the ratio of a bioactive molecule coupled to the protein described herein to the protein itself.

The DAR may also be calculated as the average DAR of the molecular population in the product, i.e., the overall ratio of the drug portion coupled to the ligand portion in the product to the ligand portion as determined by detection methods (e.g., by conventional methods such as mass spectrometry, ELISA, electrophoresis, and / or HPLC), this DAR is referred to herein as the average DAR or the measured DAR. In some embodiments, the average DAR value of the conjugates of the present invention is 1 to 16, for example 2-16, 4-16, 5-12, 6-10, 2-8, 3-8, 2-6, 3-6, 6-10, for example 1.0-8.0, 2.0-6.0, for example 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 0, 7.9, 8, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, or 10.0, a range with two of these values as endpoints.

[0027] The term "N-glycan" refers to a glycan chain attached to asparagine (Asn) of a protein's Asn-X-Ser / Thr sequence (Ser is serine, Thr is threonine, and X is any amino acid except proline). The term "O-glycan" refers to a glycan chain covalently linked to the -OH group of a serine or threonine residue in a protein via a terminal monosaccharide residue. O-glycosylation sites do not have conserved sequences, and glycans do not have a fixed core structure; they can be composed of a monosaccharide or a polysaccharide.
[0028] The term "G0 glycoform" refers to a glycosemycology in which the N-glycan molecule does not contain terminal galactose residues or a core fucose residue, such as... ,in It is N-acetylglucosamine. It is mannitol.
[0029] The term "GOF sugar type" refers to sugar molecules, such as N-glycan molecules, that do not contain terminal galactose residues but contain fucose linked to the core N-acetylglucosamine.

[0223] Detailed description
[0224] The dose escalation study will utilize accelerated dose titration in individual patients, with the first two dose levels at 1.0 and 2.1 mg / kg, followed by dose groups of 4.2, 5.2, 6.3, 7.3, and 8.4 mg / kg. All dose groups will be recruited and monitored using a Bayesian optimal interval design to determine the MTD (maximum tolerated dose), RDE (recommended extension dose), and RP2D (recommended phase II dose) for the antibody A-ADC. Dose escalations at 9.4 mg / kg and 10.5 mg / kg will be decided upon through discussion between the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) and the sponsor. The SMC has the authority to decide on dose escalations at other dose levels if necessary. Furthermore, the SMC is responsible for determining the MTD and recommended dose levels for the dose extension study.
[0225] Enrolled patients will be sequentially assigned to the planned dose level as required by the protocol and will receive antibody A-ADC IV Q3W to monitor for treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). The DLT observation period is 21 days from the start of the first dose of antibody A-ADC.
[0226] This study will use an improved ADT design and a BOIN design for dosing cohort management to determine MTD and RDE / RP2D. The antibody A-ADC will be administered at an initial dose of 1.0 mg / kg, followed by 2.1, 4.2, 5.3, 6.3, 7.3, 8.4, 9.4, and 10.5 mg / kg, via intravenous infusion on day 1 of every 3 weeks. The first cycle of antibody A-ADC treatment will be used for DLT assessment.

[0239] 2.1.2 Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of antibody A-ADC in Chinese patients with advanced solid tumors. Brief summary This is an open-label, multicenter phase I / II study conducted in Chinese subjects with unresectable locally advanced / metastatic solid tumors. The study was divided into a dose-escalation phase and a cohort expansion phase. In the dose-escalation phase, eight dose groups were designed (administered intravenously every 3 weeks on day 1). The initial dose was 1.0 mg / kg, administered every 3 weeks (Q3W), with a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period of 21 days. In the dose expansion phase, seven cohorts were established.
[0240] Detailed description
[0241] During the dose escalation phase, eight dose groups were designed (administered intravenously every 3 weeks, day 1 of each cycle). The dose groups were 1.0, 2.1, 4.2, 5.2, 6.3, 7.3, 8.4, and 10.5 mg / kg. A BOIN (Bayesian optimal interval) design was used, combined with accelerated titration, and the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation period was set at 21 days.
[0242] The specific implementation steps of BOIN design in clinical trials are as follows: 1. Accelerated Titration Procedure: The first subject receives a Grade 1 dose. If no dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurs in this subject, the second subject receives the next higher dose level. Only one subject is treated at a time, and the dose escalation process continues until the first DLT is observed, or a second Grade 2 toxicity occurs, or the maximum dose is reached. Subsequently, two more subjects are treated at the current dose level. Afterward, steps 2 and 3 are followed, with the number of cases in each group set to 3 for subsequent subjects.
[0243] 2. Dosage Allocation: The dose is allocated to the next group of subjects according to the dose increase / decrease rules in the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) decision table.
[0244] 3. Repeat step 2 until the maximum sample size of 45 is reached, or 12 evaluable subjects are treated at the current dose level, and decide to maintain the current dose according to the dose increase / decrease decision table rules.
[0245] After the dose escalation phase, the mean time to dose (MTD) was determined using sequential regression. This calculation can be performed using the "Select MTD" function in the BOIN online software (Zhou et al., 2020). Specifically, the dose whose toxicity rate, estimated through sequential regression, is closest to the target toxicity rate was determined as the MTD. During the dose escalation phase, the sponsor may, with the approval of the Sponsor Medical Monitoring Committee (SMC), expand to an appropriate dose group based on the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) data obtained during the dose escalation phase, provided that the number of subjects in the expanded dose group is consistent with the total sample size during the dose expansion phase. Safety monitoring can still be performed during the dose expansion phase based on the exclusion boundaries in the decision table. Subject data from the expanded dose group were not involved in the dose increase / decrease decisions and sequential regression calculations during the dose escalation phase.
[0246] During the dose escalation phase, the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will conduct ongoing safety assessments. Safety data for each dose group must be reviewed and approved by the SMC before dosing for the next dose group can begin. If the SMC decides to require additional safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) data for a dose group, subjects may continue to be enrolled in that dose group after completing the BOIN dose escalation; if the SMC has determined that a dose group is eligible for the cohort expansion phase, then direct entry into the cohort expansion phase for that dose group is permitted. The composition and responsibilities of the SMC will be further detailed in the SMC bylaws.
[0247] SMC will determine the recommended dose (RDE) for cohort expansion based on safety / tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK) data, and other available data such as preliminary antitumor activity. The RDE may be equal to or lower than the MTD; the RDE may also vary for different indications.
[0248] SMC and the sponsor will evaluate the effectiveness of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) determined through the BOIN design based on data from dose escalation and dose expansion clinical studies, and determine whether it is necessary to explore a higher dose group of 12.6 mg / kg.
[0249] Inclusion criteria

[0260] 2.2 Results and Analysis
[0261] 2.2.1 Interim Results 1
[0262] As of April 5, 2024, a total of 46 patients (25 with breast cancer, 11 with gastric cancer, 8 with colorectal cancer, 1 with lung cancer, and 1 with ovarian cancer) were enrolled in the Phase I study and received antibody A-ADC therapy, covering six dose levels: 2.1 mg / kg (n=1), 4.2 mg / kg (n=10), 5.2 mg / kg (n=14), 6.3 mg / kg (n=15), 7.3 mg / kg (n=3), and 8.4 mg / kg (n=3), administered every 3 weeks (Q3W). 34 patients (73.9%) had previously received ≥3 lines of therapy, with 60.9% and 45.7% having previously received anti-HER2 therapy and anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy, respectively.
[0263] The median duration of treatment was 19.2 weeks (range: 3.0–52.0 weeks), and 26 patients (56.5%) were still receiving treatment. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in all 46 patients (100%), with only 9 patients (19.6%) experiencing grade 3 TRAEs; no TRAEs were grade >3. Three patients (6.5%) experienced treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs): one grade 3 nausea and two grade 2 interstitial lung disease. No dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) occurred, and no TRAEs led to treatment discontinuation. Safety data are as follows: Figure 2a As shown.
[0264] Following a single dose, the exposure (Cmax and AUC) of antibody A-ADC increased with increasing dose, with a mean half-life of approximately 5 days at a dose of 6.3 mg / kg. No significant accumulation was observed after completing four cycles of treatment. The systemic exposure of the free payload was significantly lower than that of antibody A-ADC, indicating the stability of antibody A-ADC in circulation.
[0265] In 45 evaluable patients, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were 51.1% (95% CI: 35.8, 66.3) and 93.3% (95% CI: 81.7, 98.6), respectively. The ORRs for IHC 1+, 2+, and 3+ patients were 14.3% (95% CI: 0.4, 57.9), 35.0% (95% CI: 15.4, 59.2), and 83.3% (95% CI: 58.6, 96.4), respectively. In 28 patients who had previously received anti-HER2 therapy, the ORR was 57.1% (95% CI: 37.2, 75.5); and in 21 patients who had previously received anti-HER2 ADC therapy, the ORR was 57.1% (95% CI: 34.0, 78.2). For patients with HER2-positive (HER2 IHC 3+, or IHC 2+ and FISH+) breast and gastric cancer, the objective response rate (ORR) was 73.3% (95% CI: 44.9, 92.2) in 15 patients and 80% (95% CI: 28.4, 99.5) in 5 patients. For patients with HER2-low expression (HER2 IHC 1+, or IHC 2+ and FISH-) breast and gastric cancer, the ORR was 33.3% (95% CI: 7.5, 70.1) in 9 patients and 20% (95% CI: 0.5, 71.6) in 5 patients. Efficacy data are as follows: Figure 2b As shown.
[0266] Summary: Antibody A-ADCs were well tolerated at intravenous doses ranging from 2.1 to 8.4 mg / kg every 21 days: no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was not reached; the safety profile was manageable, with a low incidence of hematologic toxicity and interstitial lung disease (ILD) (only 2 of 46 patients experienced grade 2). Encouraging antitumor activity was observed in heavily treated, previously treated patients during the dose escalation phase, even before the MTD was reached: the objective response rate (ORR) was 51.1% in all evaluable patients (including those with low HER2 expression and those who were HER2 positive); the ORR was 57.1% in patients who had previously received anti-HER2 therapy; and in breast cancer patients, the ORR was 73.3% in 15 HER2-positive patients (HER2 IHC 3+, or IHC 2+ and FISH+) and 33.3% in 9 HER2-low expression patients (HER2 IHC 1+, or IHC 2+ and FISH-).
[0267] 2.2.2 Interim Results 2
[0268] As of July 15, 2024, a total of 29 patients (9 with colorectal cancer, 6 with gastric cancer, 4 with biliary tract cancer, 3 with esophageal cancer, 2 with ovarian cancer, 1 with head and neck cancer, and 4 with other types) were enrolled in the study and received antibody A-ADC therapy, covering seven dose levels: 2.1 mg / kg (n=1), 4.2 mg / kg (n=1), 5.2 mg / kg (n=1), 6.3 mg / kg (n=17), 7.3 mg / kg (n=5), 8.4 mg / kg (n=3), and 10.5 mg / kg (n=1), administered every 3 weeks (Q3W). Twelve patients (41.4%) had previously received ≥3 lines of therapy, with 48.3% and 24.1% having previously received anti-HER2 therapy and anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy, respectively.
[0269] In 28 evaluable patients, the objective response rate (ORR) was 75.0%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 89.3%. In 7 patients who had previously received anti-HER2 ADC therapy, the ORR was 71.4%. The ORRs for gastric cancer and colorectal cancer were 83.3% (6 / 7) and 66.7% (6 / 9), respectively. Efficacy data can be found in [link to relevant data]. Figure 2c .
[0270] The median duration of treatment was 23.6 weeks (range: 4.7–52.0 weeks), and 14 patients were still receiving treatment. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in all patients. The most common Grade 1 and 2 TRAEs were diarrhea (60.9%), nausea (65.5%), infusion-related reactions (24.1%), fatigue (24.1%), decreased appetite (24.1%), and rash (20.7%) (see Table 3). Six patients (20.7%) experienced ≥ Grade 3 TRAEs, namely neutropenia (6.9%), vomiting (3.4%), fatigue (3.4%), leukopenia (3.4%), and decreased appetite (3.4%). Three patients developed interstitial lung disease (2 in the 6.3 mg / kg dose group and 1 in the 8.4 mg / kg dose group), all of whom subsequently recovered. No TRAEs resulted in death, and only one patient discontinued treatment due to a TRAE. Security data can be found Figure 2d .
[0271] In summary, antibody A-ADCs were well tolerated at intravenous doses ranging from 2.1 to 10.5 mg / kg every 21 days. Encouraging antitumor activity was observed in patients with previously heavily treated advanced HER2-positive solid tumors. Antibody A-ADCs demonstrated a favorable tolerability and safety profile, with a lower incidence of hematologic toxicity compared to other DXd ADCs (Guo Z, et al.). J Clin Pharm Ther. 2022;47:1837-1844; Jänne PA, et al. Cancer Discov. 2022;12:74-89).
[0272] 2.2.3 Interim Results 3
[0273] As of July 15, 2024, a total of 50 patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer received antibody A-ADC therapy at dose levels of 4.2 mg / kg (n=2), 5.2 mg / kg (n=2), 6.3 mg / kg (n=44), 7.3 mg / kg (n=1), and 8.4 mg / kg (n=1). All 50 patients were enrolled based on their local HER2 testing results, of which 10 (20.0%) had HER2 IHC 0, 20 (40.0%) had IHC 1+, 18 (36.0%) had IHC 2+, and 2 (4.0%) had IHC 3+. Based on the results of central laboratory testing, 17 patients (34.0%) had IHC 0, 10 patients (20.0%) had IHC 1+, 5 patients (10.0%) had IHC 2+, 2 patients (4.0%) had IHC 3+, and another 16 patients (32.0%) had no HER2 results because they were not tested before July 15, 2024. 28 patients (56.0%) had previously received ≥3 lines of therapy, 37 patients (74.0%) had previously received bevacizumab therapy, and 28 patients (56.0%) had previously received PARP inhibitor therapy.
[0274] The median duration of treatment was 12.4 weeks (range: 0.7–51.0 weeks), and 32 patients (64.0%) were still receiving treatment. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 47 patients (94.0%), with the most common TRAEs being nausea (32.0%), elevated AST (26.0%), diarrhea (24.0%), anemia (24.0%), fatigue (20.0%), and vomiting (18.0%), mostly grade 1–2. Grade 3 or higher drug-related adverse events occurred in 5 patients (10.0%), with the most common being diarrhea (2.0%) and anemia (2.0%). Serious drug-related adverse events occurred in 2 patients (4.0%). Drug-related adverse events led to dose reduction in 2 patients (4.0%) and discontinuation in 1 patient (2.0%). Drug-related interstitial lung disease / pneumonia occurred in 3 patients, with only 1 of them being a grade ≥3 event. No fatal TRAEs occurred. See safety data. Figure 2e .
[0275] In 44 evaluable patients, the objective response rate (ORR) was 56.8% (95% CI: 41.0, 71.7), with tumor shrinkage in 39 / 44 patients. The ORRs for locally confirmed HER2 IHC 0 and HER2 expression (IHC 1+, 2+, and 3+) patients were 75.0% (95% CI: 34.9, 96.8) and 52.8% (95% CI: 35.5, 69.6), respectively. The ORRs for centrally confirmed HER2 IHC 0 and HER2 expression patients were 52.9% (95% CI: 27.8, 77.0) and 68.8% (95% CI: 41.3, 89.0), respectively. For 33 patients who had previously received bevacizumab treatment, the objective response rate (ORR) was 54.5% (95% CI: 36.4, 71.9); for 26 patients who had previously received PARP inhibitor treatment, the ORR was 46.2% (95% CI: 26.6, 66.6). Efficacy data can be found in [link to relevant data]. Figure 2f .
[0276] The median follow-up time was 2.8 months, therefore the median progression-free survival (PFS) was not yet mature, and the 6-month PFS rate was 44.7%.
[0277] In summary, antibody A-ADCs demonstrated encouraging efficacy in previously heavily treated PROC patients, regardless of their HER2 expression status. Antibody A-ADCs exhibited favorable tolerability and safety profiles, with lower incidences of gastrointestinal and hematologic toxicities compared to other DXd ADCs. These data support further clinical evaluation of antibody A-ADCs in PROC patients.
