Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] Disclosed herein are combination therapies that include inhibitors of A2A / A2B, inhibitors of PD-1 / PD-L1, anti-CD73 antibodies, and methods of using them to treat disorders such as cancer. [Background technology]
[0002] Cluster of differentiation 73 (CD73) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked membrane protein that catalyzes the conversion of extracellular adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine. It functions as a homodimer, can be shed, and is activated as a soluble protein in the circulation. In addition to its enzymatic function, CD73 is also a cell adhesion molecule and regulates leukocyte trafficking. CD73 levels are known to increase upon tissue injury or hypoxia, and many solid tumors have elevated CD73 levels. Increased CD73 activity within tumors contributes to an adenosine-rich tumor microenvironment, which has numerous tumor-promoting and immunosuppressive effects.
[0003] Adenosine is an extracellular signaling molecule that can regulate immune responses via many immune cell types. Adenosine was first recognized as a physiological regulator of coronary vascular tone by Drury and Szent-Gyorgyu (Sachdeva, S. and Gupta, M. Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2013, 21, 245-253), but this role was not recognized until 1970, when Sattin and Rall demonstrated that adenosine regulates cellular function through the occupation of specific receptors on the cell surface (Sattin, A., and Rall, TW, 1970, Mol. Pharmacol. 6, 13-23; Hasko´, G., at al., 2007, Pharmacol. Ther. 113, 264-275).
[0004] Adenosine plays an important role in various other physiological functions. It is involved in the synthesis of nucleic acids, and when linked to three phosphate groups, it forms ATP, an essential component of the cellular energy system. Adenosine can be generated by enzymatic degradation of extracellular ATP or can be released from injured neurons and glial cells by crossing damaged cell membranes (Tautenhahn, M. et al. Neuropharmacology, 2012, 62, 1756-1766). Adenosine exerts various pharmacological effects in both the peripheral and central nervous systems through its action on specific receptors located on the cell membrane (Matsumoto, T. et al. Pharmacol. Res., 2012, 65, 81-90). Alternative pathways for extracellular adenosine production have been described. These pathways include the generation of adenosine from nicotinamide dinucleotide (NAD) instead of ATP through the coordinated action of CD38, CD203a, and CD73. CD73-independent production of adenosine can also occur by other phosphates such as alkaline phosphatase or prostate-specific phosphatase.
[0005] There are four known subtypes of adenosine receptors in humans, including A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptors. A1 and A2A are high-affinity receptors, while A2B and A3 are low-affinity receptors. Adenosine and its agonists can act through one or more of these receptors to regulate the activity of adenylate cyclase, an enzyme involved in increasing cyclic AMP (cAMP). Different receptors have different stimulatory and inhibitory effects on this enzyme. Increased intracellular concentrations of cAMP can suppress the activity of immune and inflammatory cells (Livingston, M. et al., Inflamm. Res., 2004, 53, 171-178).
[0006] A2A adenosine receptors can transmit signals in the periphery and the CNS (central nervous system), and agonists are being explored as anti-inflammatory drugs, while antagonists are being explored for neurodegenerative diseases (Carlsson, J. et al., J. Med. Chem., 2010, 53, 3748-3755). In most cell types, the A2A subtype inhibits intracellular calcium levels, while the A2B subtype enhances them. A2A receptors generally appear to inhibit inflammatory responses from immune cells (Borrmann, T. et al., J. Med. Chem., 2009, 52(13), 3994-4006).
[0007] A2B receptors are highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, lungs, and on mast cells (Antonioli, L. et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857). A2B receptors are structurally closely related to A2A receptors and can activate adenylate cyclase, but are functionally distinct. It has been hypothesized that this subtype may utilize signaling pathways other than adenylate cyclase (Livingston, M. et al., Inflamm. Res., 2004, 53, 171-178). Among all adenosine receptors, A2B adenosine receptors are considered low-affinity receptors that remain silent under physiological conditions and are activated as a result of increased extracellular adenosine levels (Ryzhov, S. et al., Neoplasia, 2008, 10, 987-995). Activation of the A2B adenosine receptor can stimulate adenylate cyclase and phospholipase C through activation of Gs and Gq proteins, respectively. Coupling to mitogen-activated protein kinases has also been described (Borrmann, T. et al., J. Med. Chem., 2009, 52(13), 3994-4006).
[0008] In the immune system, the involvement of adenosine signaling may be an important regulatory mechanism that protects tissues from excessive immune responses. Adenosine can negatively regulate immune responses through many immune cell types, including T cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (Allard, B. et al. Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2016, 29, 7-16).
[0009] In tumors, this pathway is hijacked by the tumor microenvironment, disrupting the immune system's antitumor capabilities and promoting cancer progression. In the tumor microenvironment, adenosine is primarily generated from extracellular ATP by two ectonucleotidases, CD39 and CD73. Multiple cell types can produce adenosine by expressing CD39 and CD73. This is the case for tumor cells, T effector cells, T regulatory cells, tumor-associated macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), endothelial cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and mesenchymal stromal / stem cells (MSCs). Furthermore, hypoxia and inflammation, conditions common in the tumor microenvironment, induce CD39 and CD73 expression, leading to increased adenosine production. As a result, adenosine levels in solid tumors are elevated compared to normal physiological conditions.
[0010] A2A is primarily expressed on lymphocyte-derived cells, such as T effector cells, T regulatory cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. Blockade of the A2A receptor prevents downstream immunosuppressive signals that temporarily inactivate T cells. A2B receptors are primarily expressed on monocyte-derived cells, such as dendritic cells, tumor-associated macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and mesenchymal stromal / stem cells (MSCs). Blockade of the A2B receptor in preclinical models can suppress tumor growth, inhibit metastasis, and increase tumor antigen presentation.
[0011] Regarding the safety profile of ADORA2A / ADORA2B (A2A / A2B) blockade, all A2A and A2B receptor knockout (KO) mice are viable and fertile without growth abnormalities (Allard, B. et al. Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2016, 29, 7-16). A2AKO mice showed increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines only upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge, but showed no evidence of inflammation at baseline (Antonioli, L. et al. Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857). A2B KO mice showed normal platelet, red blood cell, and white blood cell counts, but increased baseline inflammation, including TNF-α and IL-6 (Antonioli, L. et al. Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857). After LPS treatment, further increases in TNF-α and IL-6 production were detected. A2B KO mice also showed increased levels of vascular adhesion molecules that mediate inflammation and leukocyte adhesion / rolling, enhanced mast cell activation, increased susceptibility to IgE-mediated anaphylaxis, and increased vascular leakage and neutrophil influx under hypoxia (Antonioli, L. et al., Nature Reviews Cancer, 2013, 13, 842-857).
[0012] Some cancer patients have a poor long-term prognosis and / or are resistant to one or more types of treatment commonly used in the art. Thus, there remains a need for effective cancer therapies with increased efficacy and improved safety profiles in this difficult-to-treat patient population. Summary of the Invention
[0013] The present application provides, inter alia, a method of treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject: (i) A2A / A2B inhibitors; (ii) PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors and (iii) administering an inhibitor of human CD73.
[0014] The present application further provides a method of treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] The present application provides a method of treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject: (i) A2A / A2B inhibitors; (ii) a PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor; and (iii) an inhibitor of human CD73.
[0018] The present application further provides a method of treating cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject:
[0019] (i) a PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor; and (ii) an inhibitor of human CD73.
[0020] A2A / A2B adenosine receptor inhibitors The adenosine pathway is an important immunosuppressive pathway that protects tissues from excessive immune responses (Antonioli, L. et al. Nature Review Cancer. 2013, 13, 842-857; Inflamm. Res. 2004, 53: 171-178; Allard, et al. Current Opinion in Pharmacology 2016, 29:7). The immunosuppressive activity of adenosine is mediated through two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), known as A2A and A2B. Both receptors are found to be expressed on many immune cell types, including T cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal. 2013, 21:245; Frontiers in Immunology. 2019, 10:925; J Clin Invest. 2017, 127(3):929; Neoplasia. 2008, 10:987; Neoplasia. 2013, 15:1400). High levels of adenosine production observed in the tumor microenvironment have been reported to suppress the immune system's antitumor capabilities, leading to cancer progression.

[0107] The compounds described herein can modulate the activity of one or more G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including, for example, A2A / A2B. The term "modulate" is meant to refer to the ability to increase or decrease the activity of one or more members of the A2A / A2B family. Accordingly, the compounds described herein can be used in methods of modulating A2A / A2B by contacting A2A / A2B with any one or more of the compounds or compositions described herein. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention can act as inhibitors of one or both of A2A and A2B. In further embodiments, the compounds described herein can be used to modulate A2A / A2B activity in an individual in need of receptor modulation by administering a modulating amount of a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the modulation is inhibition.
[0108] Given that cancer cell growth and survival are influenced by multiple signaling pathways, the present invention is useful for treating disease states characterized by drug-resistant mutants. Furthermore, different GPCR inhibitors that exhibit different preferences for the GPCRs they regulate can be used in combination. This approach is highly efficient for treating disease states by targeting multiple signaling pathways, reducing the likelihood of drug resistance developing in cells and reducing the toxicity of disease treatment.
[0109] The GPCRs that the present compounds bind to and / or modulate (eg, inhibit) include any member of the A2A / A2B family.
[0110] In some embodiments, two or more compounds described herein are used to inhibit the activity of one GPCR (eg, A2A).
[0111] In some embodiments, two or more compounds described herein are used to inhibit two or more GPCRs, such as at least two GPCRs (eg, A2A and A2B).
[0112] In some embodiments, one or more compounds are used in combination with another GPCR antagonist to inhibit the activity of one GPCR (eg, A2A or A2B).
[0113] The A2A / A2B inhibitors described herein can be selective. "Selective" means that the compound binds to or inhibits the GPCR with greater affinity or potency, respectively, compared to at least one other GPCR. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are selective inhibitors of A2A or A2B. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are selective inhibitors of A2A (e.g., over A2B). In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are selective inhibitors of A2B (e.g., over A2A). In some embodiments, the selectivity can be at least about 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, at least about 20-fold, at least about 50-fold, at least about 100-fold, at least about 200-fold, at least about 500-fold, or at least about 1000-fold. Selectivity can be measured by methods routine in the art. In some embodiments, selectivity can be tested by biochemical affinity for each GPCR. In some embodiments, the selectivity of the compounds described herein can be determined by cellular assays related to specific A2A / A2B GPCR activity.
[0114] PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitors The immune system plays a crucial role in the control and eradication of diseases such as cancer. However, cancer cells often develop strategies to evade or suppress the immune system to promote their growth. One such mechanism is altering the expression of costimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules expressed on immune cells (Postow et al., J. Clinical Oncology 2015, 1-9). Blocking the signaling of inhibitory immune checkpoints, such as PD-1, has proven to be a promising and effective treatment.
[0115] Programmed death-1 ("PD-1," also known as "CD279") is an approximately 31 kD type I membrane protein member of the extended CD28 / CTLA-4 family of T cell regulators that broadly negatively regulates immune responses (Ishida, Y. et al. (1992) EMBO J. 11:3887-3895; U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 2007 / 0202100; 2008 / 0311117; and 2009 / 00110667; U.S. Patent Nos. 6,808,710; 7,101,550; 7,488,802; 7,635,757; and 7,722,868; PCT Publication No. WO01 / 14557).
[0116] PD-1 is expressed on activated T cells, B cells, and monocytes (Agata, Y. et al. (1996) Int. Immunol. 8(5):765-772; Yamazaki, T. et al. (2002) J. Immunol. 169:5538-5545) and at low levels on natural killer (NK) T cells (Nishimura, H. et al. (2000) J. Exp. Med. 191:891-898; Martin-Orozco, N. et al. (2007) Semin. Cancer Biol. 17(4):288-298).
[0117] The extracellular region of PD-1 consists of a single immunoglobulin (Ig) V domain that shares 23% identity with the equivalent domain in CTLA-4 (Martin-Orozco, N. et al. (2007) Semin. Cancer Biol. 17(4):288-298). The extracellular Ig V domain is followed by a transmembrane region and an intracellular tail. The intracellular tail contains two phosphorylation sites located in an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif, suggesting that PD-1 negatively regulates TCR signaling (Ishida, Y. et al. (1992) EMBO J. 11:3887-2895; Blank, C. et al. (2006) Immunol. Immunother. 56(5):739-745).
[0118] PD-1 mediates inhibition of the immune system by binding to B7-H1 and B7-DC (Flies, DB et al. (2007) J. Immunother. 30(3):251-260; U.S. Patent Nos. 6,803,192; 7,794,710; U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2005 / 0059051; 2009 / 0055944; 2009 / 0274666; 2009 / 0313687; PCT Publication Nos. WO01 / 39722; WO02 / 086083).
[0119] The amino acid sequence of human PD-1 protein (Genbank accession number NP_005009) is MQIPQAPWPVVWAVLQLGWRPGWFLDSPDRPWNPPTFSPALLVVTEGDNATFTCSFSNTSESFVLNWYRMSPSNQTDKLAAFPEDRSQPGQDCRFRVTQLPNGRDFHMSVVRARRNDSGTYLCGAISLAPKAQIKESLRAELRVTERRAEVPTAHPSPSPRPAGQFQTLVVGVVGGLLGSLVLLVWVLAVICSRAARGTIGARRTGQPLKEDPSAVPVFSVDYGELDFQWREKTPEPPVPCVPEQTEYATIVFPSGMGTSSPARRGSADGPRSAQPLRPEDGHCSWPL (SEQ ID NO: 1).
[0120] PD-1 has two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2 (Parry et al., Mol Cell Biol 2005, 9543-9553; Latchman et al., Nat Immunol 2001, 2, 261-268), which differ in their expression patterns. PD-L1 protein is elevated on macrophages and dendritic cells in response to lipopolysaccharide and GM-CSF treatment, and on T cells and B cells upon T cell receptor and B cell receptor signaling. PD-L1 is also highly expressed on almost all tumor cells, and expression is further increased after IFN-γ treatment (Iwai et al., PNAS 2002, 99(19):12293-7; Blank et al., Cancer Res 2004, 64(3):1140-5). Indeed, tumor PD-L1 expression status has been shown to predict prognosis in multiple tumor types (Wang et al., Eur J Surg Oncol 2015; Huang et al., Oncol Rep 2015; Sabatier et al., Oncotarget 2015, 6(7):5449-5464). In contrast, PD-L2 expression is more restricted and is primarily expressed by dendritic cells (Nakae et al., J Immunol 2006, 177:566-73). Ligation of PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2 on T cells transduces signals that inhibit the production of IL-2 and IFN-γ, as well as cell proliferation induced upon T cell receptor activation (Carter et al., Eur J Immunol 2002, 32(3):634-43; Freeman et al., J Exp Med 2000, 192(7):1027-34). This mechanism involves recruitment of SHP-2 or SHP-1 phosphatases to inhibit T cell receptor signaling, including Syk and Lck phosphorylation (Sharpe et al., Nat Immunol 2007, 8, 239-245). Activation of the PD-1 signaling axis also attenuates phosphorylation of the PKC-θ activation loop, which is involved in the activation of NF- kIt is required for activation of the B and AP1 pathways and for the production of cytokines such as IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF (Sharpe et al, Nat Immunol 2007, 8, 239-245; Carter et al, Eur J Immunol 2002, 32(3):634-43; Freeman et al, J Exp Med 2000, 192(7):1027-34).
[0121] Several lines of evidence from preclinical animal studies indicate that PD-1 and its ligands negatively regulate immune responses. PD-1-deficient mice have been shown to develop lupus-like glomerulonephritis and dilated cardiomyopathy (Nishimura et al., Immunity 1999, 11:141-151; Nishimura et al., Science 2001, 291:319-322). Using an LCMV model of chronic infection, PD-1 / PD-L1 interactions have been shown to inhibit the activation, expansion, and acquisition of virus-specific CD8 T cell effector functions (Barber et al., Nature 2006, 439, 682-7). Collectively, these data support the development of therapeutic approaches that block PD-1-mediated inhibitory signaling cascades to enhance or "rescue" T cell responses. Therefore, new methods are needed to block PD-1 / PD-L1 protein / protein interactions and thereby treat cancers of interest.

[0146] Anti-CD73 antibody CD73 (also known as "5'-nucleotidase" and "ecto-5'-nucleotidase") is a dimeric enzyme (EC:3.1.3.5) that functions as a homodimer bound by a GPI linkage to the outer surface of the plasma membrane. CD73 can be shed and is activated as a soluble protein in the circulation. CD73 catalyzes the conversion of extracellular AMP to adenosine. CD73 enzymatic activity requires substrate binding in the open CD73 conformation. After substrate binding, CD73 undergoes a major conformational change from an open to a closed conformation, converting AMP to adenosine (see, e.g., Knapp et al., 2012, Structure, 20(12):2161-73). CD73 also functions as a cell adhesion molecule and plays a role in regulating leukocyte trafficking.
[0147] CD73 enzymatic activity plays a role in cancer progression and metastasis (see, e.g., Stagg and Smyth, 2010, Oncogene, 29:5346-5358; Salmi and Jalkanen, 2012, OncoImmunology, 1:247-248, 2012; Stagg, 2012, OncoImmunology, 1:217-218; Zhang, 2012, OncoImmunology, 167-70). Overexpression of CD73 in cancer cells impairs adaptive anti-tumor immune responses and promotes tumor growth and metastasis (see, e.g., Niemela et al., 2004, J.Immunol., 172:1646-1653; Sadej et al., 2006, Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids, 25:1119-1123; Braganhol et al., 2007, Biochim.Biophys.Acta., 1770:1352-1359; Zhang, 2010, Cancer Res., 70:6407-6411; Zhang, 2012, OncoImmunology, 1:67-70).

[0176] In some instances, the anti-CD73 antibody comprises a VH comprising a VH CDR1, a VH CDR2, and a VH CDR3 of the VH comprising the amino acid sequence EVQLLESGGGLVQPGGSLRLSCAASGFTFSSYAYSWVRQAPGKGLEWVSAISGSGGRTYYADSVKGRFTISRDNSKNTLYLQMNSLRAEDTAVYYCARLGYGRVDEWGRGTLVTVSS (SEQ ID NO: 96), and a VL comprising a VL CDR1, a VL CDR2, and a VL CDR3 of the VL comprising the amino acid sequence QSVLTQPPSASGTPGQRVTISCSGSLSNIGRNPVNWYQQLPGTAPKLLIYLDNLRLSGVPDRFSGSSKSGTSASLAISGLQSEDEADYYCATWDDSHPGWTFGGGTKLTVL (SEQ ID NO: 97). In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody comprises a VH comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 96 and a VL comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 97. In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody is Medi9447 (see U.S. Patent No. 10,287,362, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 98. In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody comprises a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 99. In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody comprises a heavy chain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 98 and a light chain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 99.
[0177] In some cases, the CD73 inhibitor is CPI-006 (Corvus, see U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2018 / 0009899A1 and International Publication No. WO2017 / 100670 AI, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety).
[0178] In some cases, the CD73 inhibitor is CB-708 SM (Calithera).
[0179] In some cases, the CD73 inhibitor is AB680 (Arcus).
[0180] In some cases, the CD73 inhibitor is BMS-986179 (BMS).
[0181] antibody fragment In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody is an antibody fragment. The antibody fragments described herein (e.g., Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Facb, and Fv) can be prepared by proteolysis of an intact antibody. For example, antibody fragments can be obtained by treating a whole antibody with an enzyme such as papain, pepsin, or plasmin. Papain digestion of a whole antibody produces F(ab)2 or Fab fragments, pepsin digestion of a whole antibody produces F(ab')2 or Fab', and plasmin digestion of a whole antibody produces Facb fragments.
[0182] Alternatively, antibody fragments can be produced recombinantly: for example, a nucleic acid encoding the antibody fragment of interest can be constructed, introduced into an expression vector, and expressed in a suitable host cell. See, e.g., Co, M. et al., J. Immunol., 152:2968-2976 (1994); Better, M. and Horwitz, A.H., Methods in Enzymology, 178:476-496 (1989); Plueckthun, A. and Skerra, A., Methods in Enzymology, 178:476-496 (1989); Lamoyi, E., Methods in Enzymology, 121:652-663 (1989); Rousseaux, J. et al., Methods in Enzymology, (1989) 121:663-669 (1989); and Bird, R. et al., TIBTECH, 9:132-137 (1991)). All antibody fragments can be expressed in and secreted from E. coli, allowing for the facile production of large amounts of these fragments. Antibody fragments can be isolated from antibody phage libraries. Alternatively, Fab'-SH fragments can be directly recovered from E. coli and chemically coupled to form F(ab)2 fragments (Carter et al., Bio / Technology, 10:163-167 (1992)). According to another approach, F(ab')2 fragments can be directly isolated from recombinant host cell culture. Fab and F(ab')2 fragments containing salvage receptor-binding epitope residues and having increased in vivo half-lives are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,869,046.
[0183] Mini Body In some instances, the anti-CD3 antibody is a minibody. Minibodies of anti-CD73 antibodies include diabodies, single-chain Fvs, and single-chain Fv2s (sc(Fv)2s). Minibodies of antibodies that bind to human PD-1 or human PD-L1 include diabodies, single-chain Fvs, and single-chain Fv2s (sc(Fv)2s).
[0184] A "diabody" is a bivalent minibody constructed by gene fusion (see, e.g., Holliger, P. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:6444-6448 (1993), EP 404,097, and WO 93 / 11161). Diabodies are dimers consisting of two polypeptide chains. The VL and VH domains of each polypeptide chain of a diabody are connected by a linker. The number of amino acid residues constituting the linker can be 2 to 12 residues (e.g., 3 to 10 residues, or 5 or about 5 residues). The linker between polypeptides in a diabody is typically too short to allow the VL and VH to bind to each other. Therefore, the VL and VH encoded by the same polypeptide chain cannot form a single-chain variable region fragment, but instead form a dimer with different single-chain variable region fragments. As a result, a diabody has two antigen-binding sites.
[0185] scFv is a single-chain polypeptide antibody obtained by linking VH and VL with a linker (see, for example, Huston et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 85:5879-5883 (1988) and Plickthun, "The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies," Vol. 113, Ed Resenburg and Moore, Springer Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315, (1994)). The order of the linked VH and VL is not particularly limited, and they can be arranged in any order. Examples of arrangements include [VH] linker [VL] or [VL] linker [VH]. The heavy chain variable domain and light chain variable domain in scFv may be derived from any anti-CD73 antibody described herein. The heavy chain V region and light chain V region in the ScFv can be derived from any antibody that binds to human PD-1 or human PD-L1, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, described herein.
[0186] sc(Fv)2 is a minibody in which two VHs and two VLs are linked by a linker to form a single chain (Hudson, et al., J. Immunol. Methods, (1999) 231:177-189 (1999)). sc(Fv)2 can be prepared, for example, by connecting scFvs with a linker. In the Sc(Fv)2 of the present invention, the two VHs and two VLs are preferably arranged in the order of VH, VL, VH, and VL ([VH] linker[VL] linker[VH] linker[VL]) starting from the N-terminus of the single-chain polypeptide. However, the order of the two VHs and two VLs is not limited to the above arrangement, and they can be arranged in any order.
[0187] bispecific antibody In some cases, the anti-CD73b antibody is a bispecific antibody. A bispecific antibody is an antibody that has binding specificities for at least two different epitopes. Exemplary bispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes of the CD73 protein. Other such antibodies may combine a CD73-binding site with a binding site of another protein. Exemplary bispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes of the PD-1 protein. Other such antibodies may combine a PD-1-binding site with a binding site of another protein. Bispecific antibodies can be prepared as full-length antibodies or lower molecular weight forms thereof (e.g., F(ab')2 bispecific antibodies, sc(Fv)2 bispecific antibodies, diabody bispecific antibodies).
[0188] Traditional production of full-length bispecific antibodies is based on the coexpression of two immunoglobulin heavy-chain-light chain pairs, where these two chains have different specificities (Millstein et al., Nature, 305:537-539 (1983)). According to a different approach, antibody variable domains with the desired binding specificities are fused to immunoglobulin constant domain sequences. DNA encoding the immunoglobulin heavy chain fusions and, if desired, the immunoglobulin light chain, are inserted into separate expression vectors and cotransfected into suitable host cells. This provides greater flexibility in adjusting the ratio of the three polypeptide fragments. However, if expression of at least two polypeptide chains in equal ratios results in high yields, it is possible to insert the coding sequences for two or all three polypeptide chains into a single expression vector.
[0189] According to another approach described in U.S. Patent No. 5,731,168, the interface between a pair of antibody molecules can be engineered to maximize the percentage of heterodimers recovered from recombinant cell culture. A preferred interface comprises at least a portion of the CH3 domain. In this method, one or more small amino acid side chains from the interface of a first antibody molecule are replaced with larger side chains (e.g., tyrosine or tryptophan). By replacing the large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g., alanine or threonine), compensatory "cavities" of identical or similar size to the large side chain(s) are created on the interface of the second antibody molecule. This provides a mechanism for increasing the yield of heterodimers over other unwanted end-products, such as homodimers.
[0190] Bispecific antibodies include cross-linked or "heteroconjugate" antibodies. For example, one of the antibodies in the heteroconjugate can be coupled to avidin, the other to biotin. Heteroconjugate antibodies can be made using any convenient cross-linking method.
[0191] "Diabody" technology provides an alternative mechanism for making bispecific antibody fragments. These fragments comprise a VH connected to a VL by a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain. The VH and VL domains of one fragment are thus forced to pair with the complementary VL and VH domains of another fragment, thereby forming two antigen-binding sites.
[0192] Multivalent antibodies In some cases, the anti-CD3 antibody is a multivalent antibody. Multivalent antibodies may be internalized (and / or catabolized) more quickly than bivalent antibodies by cells expressing the antigen to which the antibody binds. The antibodies provided herein may be multivalent antibodies (e.g., tetravalent antibodies) having three or more antigen-binding sites, which can be readily produced by recombinant expression of nucleic acids encoding antibody polypeptide chains. The multivalent antibody can comprise a dimerization domain and three or more antigen-binding sites. Exemplary dimerization domains comprise (or consist of) an Fc region or a hinge region. The multivalent antibody can comprise (or consist of) from three to about eight (e.g., four) antigen-binding sites. The multivalent antibody optionally comprises at least one polypeptide chain (e.g., at least two polypeptide chains), wherein the polypeptide chain(s) comprise two or more variable domains. For example, the polypeptide chain(s) may comprise a VD1-(X1) variable domain. n -VD2-(X2) n -Fc, where VD1 is a first variable domain, VD2 is a second variable domain, Fc is one polypeptide chain of an Fc region, X1 and X2 represent amino acids or peptide spacers, and n is 0 or 1.
[0193] Conjugated antibodies In some cases, the anti-CD3 antibody is a conjugated antibody. The antibodies disclosed herein can be conjugated to a polymer (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified with PEG (PEI-PEG), polyglutamic acid (PGA) (N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer), hyaluronic acid, radioactive materials (e.g., 90 Y, 131 I), and may be conjugated antibodies bound to a variety of molecules, including macromolecular substances such as fluorescent substances, luminescent substances, haptens, enzymes, metal chelates, drugs, and toxins (e.g., calcheamicin, Pseudomonas exotoxin A, ricin (e.g., deglycosylated ricin A chain)).
[0194] In one embodiment, to improve the cytotoxicity of anti-CD73 antibodies and thereby improve their therapeutic efficacy, the antibodies are conjugated to highly toxic substances, including radioisotopes and cytotoxic agents. In one embodiment, to improve the cytotoxicity of anti-PD-L1 antibodies and thereby improve their therapeutic efficacy, the antibodies are conjugated to highly toxic substances, including radioisotopes and cytotoxic agents. These conjugates can selectively deliver a toxic load to the target site (i.e., cells expressing the antigen recognized by the antibody), while sparing cells not recognized by the antibody. To minimize toxicity, conjugates are generally engineered based on molecules with short serum half-lives (hence the use of murine sequences and IgG3 or IgG4 isotypes).
[0195] In certain embodiments, an anti-CD73 antibody is modified with a moiety that improves its stabilization and / or retention in the circulation, e.g., by at least 1.5, 2, 5, 10, or 50-fold, e.g., in blood, serum, or other tissues. For example, an anti-CD73 antibody can be associated (e.g., conjugated) with a polymer, e.g., a substantially non-antigenic polymer such as a polyalkylene oxide or polyethylene oxide. In certain embodiments, an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds human PD-1 or human PD-L1 is modified with a moiety that improves its stabilization and / or retention in the circulation, e.g., by at least 1.5, 2, 5, 10, or 50-fold, e.g., in blood, serum, or other tissues. For example, an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds human PD-1 or human PD-L1 can be associated (e.g., conjugated) with a polymer, e.g., a substantially non-antigenic polymer such as a polyalkylene oxide or polyethylene oxide. Suitable polymers vary substantially by weight. Polymers having molecular number-average weights ranging from about 200 to about 35,000 daltons (or about 1,000 to about 15,000, and 2,000 to about 12,500) can be used. For example, an anti-CD73 antibody, anti-PD-1 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof can be conjugated to a water-soluble polymer, e.g., a hydrophilic polyvinyl polymer, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Examples of such polymers include polyalkylene oxide homopolymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polypropylene glycol, polyoxyethylated polyols, copolymers thereof, and block copolymers thereof, provided that the water solubility of the block copolymers is maintained. Additional useful polymers include polyoxyalkylenes such as polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene, and block copolymers of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene, polymethacrylates, carbomers, and branched or unbranched polysaccharides.
[0196] The conjugated antibodies described above can be prepared by chemically modifying each of the antibodies described herein or their lower molecular weight forms. Methods for modifying antibodies are well known in the art (e.g., US 5,057,313 and US 5,156,840).

In some cases, the polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 97%, or 100% identity to the set of amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO: 22. In some cases, the polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) amino acid substitutions, additions, and / or deletions relative to the set of amino acid sequences set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 22, 26, and 82-84. In some cases, the polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 22. In some cases, the polynucleotide is operably linked to a promoter.

[0205] Also provided herein are expression vectors encoding the anti-CD73 antibodies described herein, or portions thereof (e.g., VH, VL, HC, and / or LC). Also provided herein are expression vectors comprising one or more polynucleotides described herein. Various types of expression vectors are known in the art and described herein (see, e.g., the "Methods of Producing Antibodies" section herein).
[0206] Also provided herein are cells comprising the anti-CD73 antibodies described herein. Also provided herein are cells comprising one or more polynucleotides described herein. Also provided herein are cells comprising one or more expression vectors described herein. Various types of cells are known in the art and described herein (see, e.g., the "Methods of Producing Antibodies" section herein).
[0207] Anti-CD73 antibodies with altered glycosylation Different glycoforms can profoundly affect therapeutic drug properties, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, receptor interactions, and tissue-specific targeting (Graddis et al., 2002, Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 3:285-297). In particular, for antibodies, oligosaccharide structures can affect antibody effector functions (e.g., binding to complement complex C1, which induces CDC, and binding to FcγR receptors, which regulate the ADCC pathway), as well as properties related to protease resistance, serum half-life of antibodies, phagocytosis, and antibody feedback mediated by the FcRn receptor (Nose and Wigzell, 1983; Leatherbarrow and Dwek, 1983; Leatherbarrow et al., 1985; Walker et al., 1989; Carter et al., 1992, PNAS, 89:4285-4289).
[0208] Thus, another means of modulating antibody effector function involves altering the glycosylation of the antibody constant region, including, for example, reducing or increasing the number of glycosylated residues, changing the pattern or location of glycosylated residues, and altering the sugar structure(s). The oligosaccharides found on human IgG influence the extent of their effector functions (Raju, TSBioProcess International April 2003.44-53), and the microheterogeneity of human IgG oligosaccharides can affect biological functions such as CDC and ADCC, binding to various Fc receptors, and binding to Clq proteins (Wright A. & Morrison SL. TIBTECH 1997, 15 26-32; Shields et al. J Biol Chem. 2001 276(9):6591-604; Shields et al. J Biol Chem. 2002;277(30):26733-40; Shinkawa et al. J Biol Chem. 2003 278(5):3466-73; Umana et al. Nat Biotechnol. 1999 Feb;17(2): 176-80). For example, the ability of IgG to bind C1q and activate the complement cascade can depend on the presence, absence, or modification of a carbohydrate moiety located between the two CH2 domains (usually anchored at Asn297) (Ward and Ghetie, Therapeutic Immunology 2:77-94 (1995)). Thus, in some cases, anti-CD73 antibodies contain an Asn297Ala substitution relative to the wild-type constant region.
[0209] Glycosylation sites within an Fc-containing polypeptide, e.g., an antibody, such as an IgG antibody, can be identified by standard techniques. Identification of glycosylation sites can be based on experimental or sequence analysis or modeling data. Consensus motifs, i.e., amino acid sequences recognized by various glycosyltransferases, have been described. For example, consensus motifs for N-linked glycosylation motifs are frequently NXT or NXS, where X can be any amino acid except proline. Several algorithms for finding potential glycosylation motifs have also been described. Thus, to identify potential glycosylation sites within an antibody or Fc-containing fragment, the sequence of the antibody is examined using publicly available databases, such as the website provided by the Center for Biological Sequence Analysis (see, for example, the NetNGlyc service for predicting N-linked glycosylation sites and the NetOGlyc service for predicting O-linked glycosylation sites).
[0210] In vivo studies have confirmed the reduced effector function of aglycosyl antibodies. For example, aglycosyl anti-CD8 antibodies cannot deplete CD8-bearing cells in mice (Isaacs, 1992 J. Immunol. 148:3062), and aglycosyl anti-CD3 antibodies do not induce cytokine release syndrome in mice or humans (Boyd, 1995 (supra); Friend, 1999 Transplantation 68:1632). The aglycosylated form of anti-CD73 antibodies also has reduced effector function.
[0211] Importantly, removal of glycans within the CH2 domain appears to significantly affect effector function, while other functional and physical properties of the antibody remain unchanged. Specifically, it has been shown that removal of glycans has little or no effect on serum half-life and antigen binding (Nose, 1983 (supra); Tao, 1989 (supra); Dorai, 1991 (supra); Hand, 1992 (supra); Hobbs, 1992 (supra); Mol. Immunol. 29:949).
[0212] The anti-CD73 antibodies of the invention may be modified or altered to elicit increased or decreased effector function(s) (compared to a second CD73-specific antibody). Methods for altering glycosylation sites of antibodies are described, for example, in US 6,350,861 and US 5,714,350, WO 05 / 18572 and WO 05 / 03175, and these methods can be used to produce anti-CD73 antibodies of the invention with altered, reduced, or no glycosylation.
[0213] Methods for producing antibodies Anti-CD73 antibody Antibodies can be produced in bacteria or eukaryotic cells. Some antibodies, such as Fab', can be produced in bacterial cells, such as E. coli cells. Antibodies can also be produced in eukaryotic cells, such as transformed cell lines (e.g., CHO, 293E, COS). In addition, antibodies (e.g., scFv') can be expressed in yeast cells, such as Pichia (e.g., Powers et al., J Immunol Methods. 251:123-35 (2001)), Hanseula, or Saccharomyces. To produce the antibody of interest, a polynucleotide encoding the antibody is constructed, introduced into an expression vector, and then expressed in a suitable host cell. Standard molecular biology techniques are used to prepare the recombinant expression vector, transfect the host cell, select for transformants, culture the host cell, and recover the antibody.
[0214] If the antibody is expressed in bacterial cells (eg, E. coli), the expression vector should have features that allow for amplification of the vector within the bacterial cell. Furthermore, when E. coli such as JM109, DH5α, HB101, or XL1-Blue is used as a host, the vector must have a promoter such as the lacZ promoter (Ward et al., 341:544-546 (1989)), the araB promoter (Better et al., Science, 240:1041-1043 (1988)), or a T7 promoter that can enable efficient expression in E. coli. Examples of such vectors include M13 series vectors, pUC series vectors, pBR322, pBluescript, pCR-Script, pGEX-5X-1 (Pharmacia), the "QIAexpress system" (QIAGEN), pEGFP, and pET (when this expression vector is used, the host is preferably BL21, which expresses T7 RNA polymerase). The expression vector may contain a signal sequence for antibody secretion. For production into the periplasm of E. coli, the pelB signal sequence (Lei et al., 2004) is used. al., J. Bacteriol., 169:4379 (1987)) may be used as a signal sequence for antibody secretion. For bacterial expression, the calcium chloride method or electroporation may be used to introduce the expression vector into bacterial cells.
[0215] When antibodies are expressed in animal cells such as CHO, COS, and NIH3T3 cells, the expression vector contains a promoter necessary for expression in these cells, such as the SV40 promoter (Mulligan et al., Nature, 277:108 (1979)), the MMLV-LTR promoter, the EF1α promoter (Mizushima et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 18:5322 (1990)), or the CMV promoter. In addition to the nucleic acid sequence encoding an immunoglobulin or a domain thereof, the recombinant expression vector can carry additional sequences, such as sequences that regulate replication of the vector in host cells (e.g., origins of replication) and selectable marker genes. The selectable marker gene can facilitate selection of host cells into which the vector has been introduced (see, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos. 4,399,216, 4,634,665, and 5,179,017). For example, typically, the selectable marker gene confers resistance to drugs such as G418, hygromycin, methotrexate, etc. to a host cell into which the vector has been introduced. Examples of vectors having selectable markers include pMAM, pDR2, pBK-RSV, pBK-CMV, pOPRSV, and pOP13.
[0216] In one embodiment, the antibody is produced in mammalian cells. Exemplary mammalian host cells for expressing the antibody include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (dhfr cells, as described in Urlaub and Chasin (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216-4220). - Examples of suitable cells include CHO cells (e.g., used with a DHFR selection marker as described in Kaufman and Sharp (1982) Mol. Biol. 159:601-621), human embryonic kidney 293 cells (e.g., 293, 293E, 293T), COS cells, NIH3T3 cells, lymphoid cell lines such as NS0 myeloma cells and SP2 cells, and cells derived from transgenic animals, e.g., transgenic mammals. For example, the cell is a mammary epithelial cell.
[0217] In an exemplary system for antibody expression, recombinant expression vectors encoding both the antibody heavy chain and the antibody light chain of an anti-CD73 antibody (e.g., CL25, HzCL25, 3-F03, 3-F03_411, or 3-F03_413) are transfected into dhfr - The antibody is then introduced into CHO cells. In an exemplary system for antibody expression, a recombinant expression vector encoding both the antibody heavy and light chains of an antibody that binds to human PD-1 or human PD-L1 antibody (e.g., antibody X) is introduced into dhfr-CHO cells by calcium phosphate-mediated transfection. Within the recombinant expression vector, the antibody heavy and light chain genes are each operably linked to enhancer / promoter regulatory elements (e.g., derived from SV40, CMV, adenovirus, etc., such as the CMV enhancer / AdMLP promoter regulatory element or the SV40 enhancer / AdMLP promoter regulatory element) to drive high levels of gene transcription. The recombinant expression vector also carries a DHFR gene, which allows for selection of CHO cells transfected with the vector using methotrexate selection / amplification. The selected transformed host cells are cultured to allow expression of the antibody heavy and light chains, and the antibody is recovered from the culture medium.
[0218] Antibodies can also be produced by transgenic animals. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,849,992 describes a method for expressing an antibody in the mammary gland of a transgenic mammal. A transgene is constructed containing a milk-specific promoter, a nucleic acid encoding the antibody of interest, and a signal sequence for secretion. Milk produced by female transgenic mammals contains the antibody of interest secreted therein. The antibody can be purified from the milk or used directly for several applications. Animals containing one or more of the nucleic acids described herein are also provided.
[0219] The antibodies of the present disclosure can be isolated from the inside or outside of host cells (such as the culture medium) and purified as substantially pure and homogeneous antibodies. Isolation and purification methods commonly used for antibody purification may be used for antibody isolation and purification, and are not limited to any particular method. Antibodies can be isolated and purified by appropriately selecting and combining, for example, column chromatography, filtration, ultrafiltration, salting out, solvent precipitation, solvent extraction, distillation, immunoprecipitation, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, dialysis, and recrystallization. Examples of chromatography include affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, gel filtration, reversed-phase chromatography, and adsorption chromatography (Strategies for Protein Purification and Characterization: A Laboratory Course Manual, Ed. Daniel R. Marshak et al., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1996). Chromatography can be performed using liquid-phase chromatography such as HPLC and FPLC. Columns used for affinity chromatography include protein A columns and protein G columns. Examples of columns that use Protein A columns include Hyper D, POROS, and Sepharose FF (GE Healthcare Biosciences). The present disclosure also includes antibodies that are highly purified using these purification methods.
[0220] Anti-PD-1 antibody Anti-PD-1 antibodies, such as retifanlimab, can be made, for example, by preparing and expressing a synthetic gene encoding the recited amino acid sequence, or by mutating a human germline gene to provide a gene encoding the recited amino acid sequence. Additionally, this and other anti-PD-1 antibodies can be obtained, for example, using one or more of the following methods:
[0221] Humanized antibodies can be generated by replacing Fv variable region sequences not directly involved in antigen binding with equivalent sequences from human Fv variable regions. General methods for generating humanized antibodies are provided by Morrison, SL, Science, 229:1202-1207 (1985); Oi et al., BioTechniques, 4:214 (1986); and US Pat. Nos. 5,585,089, 5,693,761, 5,693,762, 5,859,205, and 6,407,213. These methods involve isolating, manipulating, and expressing nucleic acid sequences encoding all or part of immunoglobulin Fv variable regions from at least one of the heavy or light chains. Sources of such nucleic acids are well known to those of skill in the art and can be obtained, for example, from hybridomas producing antibodies against a predetermined target, from germline immunoglobulin genes, or from synthetic constructs, as described above. The recombinant DNA encoding the humanized antibody can then be cloned into an appropriate expression vector.
[0222] For example, human germline sequences are described in Tomlinson, IA et al., J. Mol. Biol., 227:776-798 (1992); Cook, GP et al., Immunol. Today, 16: 237-242 (1995); Chothia, D. et al., J. Mol. Biol., 227:799-817 (1992); and Tomlinson et al., EMBO J., 14:4628-4638 (1995). The V BASE directory provides a comprehensive directory of human immunoglobulin variable region sequences (compiled by Tomlinson, IA et al. MRC Centre for Protein Engineering, Cambridge, UK). These sequences can be used, for example, as a source of human sequences for framework regions and CDRs. Consensus human framework regions can also be used, for example, as described in U.S. Patent No. 6,300,064.
[0223] Other methods for humanizing antibodies can also be used. For example, other methods can account for the three-dimensional structure of the antibody, framework positions three-dimensionally adjacent to binding determinants, and immunogenic peptide sequences. See, for example, WO 90 / 07861, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,693,762, 5,693,761, 5,585,089, 5,530,101, and 6,407,213, and Tempest et al. (1991) Biotechnology 9:266-271. Yet another method, referred to as "humaneering," is described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 2005-008625.
[0224] The antibody can comprise a human Fc region, e.g., a wild-type Fc region or an Fc region containing one or more modifications. In one embodiment, the constant region is modified, e.g., mutated, to modify the properties of the antibody (e.g., to increase or decrease one or more of Fc receptor binding, antibody glycosylation, the number of cysteine residues, effector cell function, or complement function). For example, a human IgG1 constant region can be mutated at one or more residues, e.g., one or more of residues 234 and 237 (based on Kabat numbering). The antibody can have mutations in the CH2 region of the heavy chain that reduce or modify effector function, e.g., Fc receptor binding and complement activation. For example, the antibody can have mutations as described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,624,821 and 5,648,260. The antibody may also have mutations that stabilize the disulfide bonds between the two heavy chains of the immunoglobulin, such as mutations in the hinge region of IgG4 (e.g., Angal et al. (1993) Mol. Immunol. 30:105-08), as disclosed in the art. See also, e.g., US2005 / 0037000.
[0225] Anti-PD-L1 antibodies can be in the form of full-length antibodies or in the form of lower molecular weight forms (e.g., biologically active antibody fragments or minibodies) of anti-PD-1 antibodies, such as Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, Fd, dAb, scFv, and sc(Fv)2. Other anti-PD-1 antibodies encompassed by the present disclosure include single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) containing a single variable chain, such as VH or VL, or a biologically active fragment thereof. See, e.g., Moller et al., J. Biol. Chem., 285(49):38348-38361 (2010); Harmsen et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol., 77(1):13-22 (2007); US2005 / 0079574 and Davieset al. (1996) Protein Eng., 9(6):531-7. Like whole antibodies, sdAbs can selectively bind to specific antigens. With a molecular weight of only 12-15 kDa, sdAbs are much smaller than typical antibodies, even smaller than Fab fragments and single-chain variable fragments.
[0226] Provided herein are compositions comprising a mixture of an anti-PD-1 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, and one or more acidic variants, e.g., the amount of acidic variant(s) is less than about 80%, 70%, 60%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or 1%. Also provided are compositions comprising an anti-PD-1 antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that contain at least one deamidation site, wherein the pH of the composition is, for example, about 5.0 to about 6.5, such that at least about 90% of the antibody is not deamidated (i.e., less than about 10% of the antibody is deamidated). In certain embodiments, less than about 5%, 3%, 2%, or 1% of the antibody is deamidated. The pH may be 5.0 to 6.0, such as 5.5 or 6.0. In certain embodiments, the pH of the composition is 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, or 6.5.
[0227] An "acidic variant" is a variant of a polypeptide of interest that is more acidic than the polypeptide of interest (e.g., as determined by cation exchange chromatography). An example of an acidic variant is a deamidated variant.
[0228] "Deamidated" variants of a polypeptide molecule are polypeptides in which one or more asparagine residue(s) of the original polypeptide have been converted to aspartic acid, i.e., the neutral amide side chains have been converted to residues with overall acidic properties.
[0229] As used herein, the term "mixture" refers to a composition comprising an anti-PD-1 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof and refers to the presence of both the desired antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds to human PD-1 or human PD-L1, and one or more acidic variants thereof. The acidic variants may include primarily deamidated antibodies that bind to human PD-1 or human PD-L1, along with minor amounts of other acidic variant(s).
[0230] In certain embodiments, the binding affinity (K) of antibodies mutated to eliminate deamidation is D ), on-rate (K D on) and / or off-rate (K D Off) is similar to that of a wild-type antibody, for example, with a difference of less than about 5-fold, 2-fold, 1-fold (100%), 50%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, or 1%.
[0231] Dosage and route of administration The anti-CD73 antibody, the inhibitor of the A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptor, and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 described herein can be administered to a subject, e.g., a subject in need thereof, e.g., a human subject, in a variety of ways. In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody, the inhibitor of the A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptor, and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 are administered to a subject by the same route. In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 are administered to a subject by the same route. In some cases, the inhibitor of the A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptor and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 are administered to a subject by different routes. In some cases, the anti-CD73 antibody and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 are administered to a subject by different routes. In many applications, the route of administration is one of intravenous injection or infusion (IV), subcutaneous injection (SC), intraperitoneal (IP), or intramuscular injection. Intra-articular delivery can also be used. Other methods of parenteral administration can also be used. Examples of such modes include intra-arterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, intra-articular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, and epidural and intrasternal injection. In some cases, administration can be oral.
[0232] The route and / or mode of administration of the anti-CD73 antibody, the inhibitor of the A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptor, and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 may be tailored to the individual case, e.g., by monitoring the subject, e.g., using tomography to visualize the tumor. The route and / or mode of administration of the anti-CD73 antibody and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 may also be tailored to the individual case, e.g., by monitoring the subject, e.g., using tomography to visualize the tumor.
[0233] The anti-CD73 antibody, the A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptor inhibitor, and the PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor can each be administered as a fixed dose or in mg / kg doses based on the patient's body weight. For example, in dual combination therapy, the anti-CD73 antibody and the PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor can each be administered as a fixed dose or in mg / kg doses based on the patient's body weight. Doses can also be selected to reduce or avoid the production of antibodies against the anti-CD73 antibody, the A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptor inhibitor, and / or the PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor. Dosage regimens can be adjusted to provide a desired response (e.g., a therapeutic response) or combined therapeutic effect. Generally, doses of the anti-CD73 antibody, the A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptor inhibitor, and the PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor can be used to provide a bioavailable amount of the agent to the subject. For example, doses ranging from 0.1 to 100 mg / kg, 0.5 to 100 mg / kg, 1 mg / kg to 100 mg / kg, 0.5 to 20 mg / kg, 0.1 to 10 mg / kg, or 1 to 10 mg / kg can be administered. Other doses can also be used.
[0234] In some embodiments, the anti-CD73 antibody, the inhibitor of A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptors, and / or the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 are administered simultaneously. In some embodiments, the anti-CD73 antibody and the inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 are administered simultaneously.

[0236] As used herein, dosage unit form or "fixed dose" or "uniform dose" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for treating a subject, each unit containing a predetermined amount of active compound calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect in association with the necessary pharmaceutical carriers, and optionally in association with other agents. Single or multiple doses may be administered. Alternatively, or in addition, the antibody and / or inhibitor may be administered via continuous infusion. Exemplary fixed doses include 375 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg.

For example, "contacting" A2A / A2B with a compound described herein includes administering a compound of the invention to an individual or patient, such as a human, having A2A / A2B, and introducing a compound described herein into a sample, including, for example, a cell preparation or purified preparation containing A2A / A2B.
[0408] The terms "individual" or "patient" or "subject," used interchangeably, refer to any animal, including a mammal, preferably a mouse, rat, other rodent, rabbit, dog, cat, pig, cow, sheep, horse, or primate, most preferably a human (i.e., a human subject).
[0409] As used herein, the phrase "therapeutically effective amount" refers to that amount of an active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response that a researcher, veterinarian, physician, or other clinician is seeking in a tissue, system, animal, individual, or human.
[0410] As used herein, the term "treating" or "treatment" refers to one or more of: 1) inhibiting a disease, e.g., inhibiting a disease, condition, or disorder (i.e., preventing further progression of the condition or symptom) in an individual experiencing or exhibiting the pathology or symptom of the disease, condition, or disorder; and 2) ameliorating a disease, e.g., ameliorating a disease, condition, or disorder (i.e., reversing the condition or symptom) in an individual experiencing or exhibiting the pathology or symptom of the disease, condition, or disorder, e.g., reducing the severity of the disease.
[0411] As used herein, "QD" is understood to mean a dose administered to a subject once daily. "QOD" is understood to mean a dose administered to a subject once every other day. "QW" is understood to mean a dose administered to a subject once weekly. "Q2W" is understood to mean a dose administered to a subject once every two weeks. "Q3W" is understood to mean a dose administered to a subject once every three weeks. "Q4W" is understood to mean a dose administered to a subject once every four weeks.
[0412] In some embodiments, the disclosed anti-CD73 antibodies, inhibitors of A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptors, and inhibitors of PD-1 / PD-L1 are useful in combination to prevent or reduce the risk of developing any of the diseases mentioned herein, for example, to prevent or reduce the risk of developing a disease, condition, or disorder in an individual who may be predisposed to the disease, condition, or disorder, but who has not yet experienced or exhibited the pathology or symptoms of the disease.
[0413] Pharmaceutical Compositions and Formulations The anti-CD73 antibodies, inhibitors of A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptors, and inhibitors of PD-1 / PD-L1 described herein can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions for administration to a subject, e.g., to treat a disorder described herein. In some cases, the pharmaceutical composition comprises an anti-CD73 antibody as a single agent. In some cases, the pharmaceutical composition comprises an inhibitor of A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptors as a single agent.
[0414] In some cases, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor as a single agent. In some cases, the pharmaceutical composition comprises one or more of an anti-CD73 antibody, an inhibitor of A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptors, and an inhibitor of PD-1 / PD-L1 described herein. In some cases, the pharmaceutical composition comprises one or more of an anti-CD73 antibody and a PD-1 / PD-L1 inhibitor described herein.
[0415] When used as a pharmaceutical, the compounds of the present disclosure can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical arts and can be administered by various routes, depending on whether local or systemic treatment is desired and the area to be treated. Administration can be topical (including transdermal, epidermal, ophthalmic, and mucosal delivery, including intranasal, vaginal, and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal), oral, or parenteral. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, or injection or infusion, or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose or, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration can include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids, and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.
[0416] The pharmaceutical composition may contain a "therapeutically effective amount" of the agent described herein. Such an effective amount may be determined based on the effect of the administered agent or the combined effect of the agents when two or more agents are used. The "therapeutically effective amount" of an agent may also vary depending on factors such as the individual's disease state, age, sex, and weight, as well as the ability of the compound to elicit a desired response in the individual, for example, improvement of at least one disorder parameter or improvement of at least one disorder symptom. A therapeutically effective amount is also one in which the therapeutically beneficial effects outweigh any toxic or adverse effects of the composition.
[0417] Typically, pharmaceutical compositions contain a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" includes any and all physiologically compatible solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, etc. The composition may contain a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, for example, an acid addition salt or a base addition salt (see, for example, Berge, SM, et al. (1977) J.Pharm.Sci.66:1-19).
[0418] Pharmaceutical formulation is a well-established art and is further described, for example, in The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins (2000) (ISBN: 0683306472); Ansel et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, 7th Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers (1999) (ISBN: 0683305727); and Kibbe (ed.), Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients American Pharmaceutical Association, 3rd ed. (2000) (ISBN: 091733096X).
[0419] Pharmaceutical compositions can be in various forms. These include, for example, liquid, semi-solid and solid dosage forms such as liquid solutions (e.g., injectable and infusible solutions), dispersions or suspensions, tablets, pills, powders, liposomes and suppositories. The preferred form can depend on the intended mode of administration and therapeutic application. Typically, the compositions for the pharmaceuticals described herein are in the form of injectable or infusible solutions.
[0420] The compositions can be formulated as solutions, microemulsions, dispersions, liposomes, or other ordered structures suitable for stable storage at high concentrations. Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the required amount of the agent described herein in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of the ingredients listed above, followed by filter sterilization, as needed. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the agent described herein into a sterile vehicle containing a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those listed above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying, which yield a powder of the agent described herein plus any additional desired ingredients from a previously sterile-filtered solution of the agent. The proper fluidity of the solution can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be achieved by including in the composition an agent that delays absorption, such as monostearate salts and gelatin.
[0421] The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the present disclosure or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an active ingredient in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). In some embodiments, the compositions are suitable for topical administration. When preparing the disclosed compositions, typically, one or more active ingredients are mixed with an excipient, diluted by the excipient, or enclosed in such a carrier, for example, in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material that acts as a vehicle, carrier, or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as solid or liquid media), for example, ointments containing up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
[0422] When preparing formulation, one or more active ingredients can be milled to obtain suitable particle size before being combined with other ingredients.If active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh.If active compound is substantially water-soluble, particle size can be adjusted by milling to obtain substantially uniform distribution in formulation, for example, about 40 mesh.
[0423] The compounds of the present disclosure can be milled using known milling procedures, such as wet milling, to obtain a particle size suitable for tableting and other formulation types. Finely divided (nanoparticulate) preparations of the compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared by processes known in the art, see, for example, the disclosure of International Application No. WO2002 / 000196.
[0424] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, gum arabic, calcium phosphate, alginate, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methylcellulose.The formulation may further include lubricants such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, preservatives such as methylbenzoate and propylhydroxybenzoate, sweeteners, and flavoring agents.The compositions of the present disclosure can be formulated to provide quick, sustained, or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to a patient by using procedures known in the art.
[0425] The compositions may be formulated in unit dosage form. The term "unit dosage form" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.
[0426] To prepare solid compositions such as tablets, the primary active ingredient is mixed with pharmaceutical excipients to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of the compounds of the present disclosure. When these preformulation compositions are referred to as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition, allowing the composition to be easily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms.
[0427] The tablets or pills of the present disclosure can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form that provides the advantage of prolonged action.For example, the tablets or pills can comprise an inner dose and an outer dose component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former.The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that resists disintegration in the stomach and allows the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or be delayed in release.A variety of materials can be used as such enteric layers or coatings, including numerous polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with materials such as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
[0428] Liquid forms into which the compounds and compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for oral or injectable administration include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oily suspensions, and emulsions flavored with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
[0429] Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, as well as powders. Liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described above. In some embodiments, compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device, or the nebulizing device may be attached to a face mask, tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered orally or nasally from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.
[0430] Topical formulations may contain one or more conventional carriers. In some embodiments, ointments may contain water and one or more hydrophobic carriers selected from, for example, liquid paraffin, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, propylene glycol, white Vaseline® (petrolatum), etc. Cream carrier compositions may be based on a combination of water with glycerol and one or more other components, such as glycerol monostearate, PEG-glycerol monostearate, and cetylstearyl alcohol. Gels may be formulated using isopropyl alcohol and water, preferably in combination with other components such as glycerol and hydroxyethylcellulose. In some embodiments, topical formulations contain at least about 0.1, at least about 0.25, at least about 0.5, at least about 1, at least about 2, or at least about 5% by weight of a compound of the present disclosure. Topical formulations may be suitably packaged in 100g tubes, optionally accompanied by instructions for treating a selected indication, such as psoriasis or other skin conditions.
[0431] The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending on what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or treatment, the condition of the patient, the method of administration, etc. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. The effective dose will depend on the disease state being treated and the judgment of the attending physician based on factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight, and general condition of the patient.
[0432] The compositions administered to patients may be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions may be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions may be packaged for immediate use or lyophilized, with the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparation will typically be 3-11, more preferably 5-9, and most preferably 7-8. It will be appreciated that the use of certain of the aforementioned excipients, carriers, or stabilizers may result in the formulation of pharmaceutical salts.
[0433] Therapeutic amounts of compounds of the present disclosure can vary according to, for example, the particular therapeutic application, the method of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the present disclosure in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending on several factors, including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, compounds of the present disclosure can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w / v of the compound for parenteral administration.
[0434] The compositions of the present invention can further comprise one or more additional pharmaceutical agents, such as chemotherapeutic agents, steroids, anti-inflammatory compounds, or immunosuppressants, examples of which are listed herein.
[0435] In certain embodiments, anti-CD73 antibodies, inhibitors of A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptors, and / or inhibitors of PD-1 / PD-L1 can be prepared with carriers that protect the compound against rapid release, such as sustained-release formulations, including implants, and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid, can be used. Many methods for the preparation of such formulations are patented or generally known. See, for example, *Sustained and Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems*, J.R. Robinson, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York (1978).
[0436] Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods The present disclosure further includes isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure. An "isotopically labeled" or "radiolabeled" compound is a compound of the present disclosure in which one or more atoms have been replaced, i.e., substituted, with an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from that normally found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated into compounds of the present disclosure include: 2 H (also written as D for deuterium), 3 H (also written as T for tritium), 11 C. 13 C. 14 C. 13 N, 15 N, 15 O. 17 O. 18 O. 18 F, 35 S, 36 Cl, 82 Br, 75 Br, 76 Br, 77 Br, 123 I, 124 I, 125 I and 131For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in the compounds of the present disclosure can be replaced with deuterium atoms (e.g., one or more hydrogen atoms in the alkyl groups of the compounds can be optionally replaced with deuterium atoms, e.g., -CH3 can be replaced with -CD3).
[0437] One or more constituent atoms of the compounds presented herein can be replaced or substituted with natural or non-natural abundance isotopes of the atoms. In some embodiments, the compounds contain at least one deuterium atom. In some embodiments, the compounds contain two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compounds contain 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, or 1-6 deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, all hydrogen atoms in the compounds can be replaced or substituted with deuterium atoms.
[0438] In some embodiments, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms of any Formula A substituent are each optionally replaced by a deuterium atom.
[0439] Synthetic methods for incorporating isotopes into organic compounds are known in the art (Deuterium Labeling in Organic Chemistry by Alan F. Thomas (New York, NY, Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1971); The Renaissance of H / D Exchange by Jens Atzrodt, Volker Derdau, Thorsten Fey and Jochen Zimmermann, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2007, 7744-7765; The Organic Chemistry of Isotopic Labelling by James R. Hanson, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011). Isotopically labeled compounds can be used in a variety of studies, such as NMR spectroscopy, metabolic experiments, and / or assays.
[0440] Substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium, can confer certain therapeutic advantages due to greater metabolic stability, such as increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and therefore may be preferable in some cases (see, e.g., A. Kerekes et al. J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 201-210; R. Xu et al. J. Label Compd. Radiopharm. 2015, 58, 308-312). In particular, substitution at one or more metabolic sites may confer one or more therapeutic advantages.
[0441] The radionuclide incorporated into the radiolabeled compound will depend on the particular application of the radiolabeled compound. For example, for in vitro A2A / A2B labeling and competition assays: 3 H, 14 C. 82 Br, 125 I, 131 I, or 35 Compounds incorporating S may be useful. For radioimaging applications, 11 C. 18 F, 125 I, 123 I, 124 I, 131 I, 75 Br, 76 Br, or 77 Br may be useful.
[0442] A "radiolabel" or "labeled compound" is understood to be a compound that incorporates at least one radionuclide. In some embodiments, the radionuclide is 3 H, 14 C. 125 I, 35 S, and 82 Br.
[0443] The present disclosure can further include synthetic methods for incorporating radioisotopes into the compounds of the present disclosure. Synthetic methods for incorporating radioisotopes into organic compounds are well known in the art, and one of ordinary skill in the art will readily recognize methods applicable to the compounds of the present disclosure.
[0444] The disclosed labeled agents can be used in screening assays to identify / evaluate agents. For example, a labeled newly synthesized or identified agent (i.e., a test agent) can be evaluated for its ability to bind to adenosine receptors, CD73, or PD-1 / PD-L1 by monitoring its concentration change upon contact with adenosine receptors, CD73, or PD-1 / PD-L1, respectively, through label tracking. For example, a (labeled) test agent can be evaluated for its ability to reduce the binding of another agent (i.e., a standard agent) known to bind to adenosine receptors, CD73, or PD-1 / PD-L1. Thus, the ability of a test agent to compete with the standard agent for binding to adenosine receptors, CD73, or PD-1 / PD-L1 directly correlates to its binding affinity. Conversely, in some other screening assays, the standard agent is labeled and the test agent is unlabeled. Thus, the concentration of the labeled standard agent is monitored to assess competition between the standard agent and the test agent, thereby ascertaining the relative binding affinity of the test agent.
[0445] Accordingly, another aspect of the present disclosure relates to the disclosed labeled agents (i.e., labeled anti-CD73 antibodies, inhibitors of A2A and / or A2B adenosine receptors, and inhibitors of PD-1 / PD-L1) that may be useful in both in vitro and in vivo assays, as well as imaging techniques, for localizing and quantifying CD73, A2A and / or A2B, and / or PD-1 / PD-L1 receptors in tissue samples, including human tissues, through the binding of labeled compounds, and for identifying CD73, A2A and / or A2B, and / or PD-1 / PD-L1 antagonists. Substitution of one or more atoms of the disclosed compounds may also be useful in generating differentiated ADME (adsorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion). Accordingly, the present disclosure includes adenosine receptor (e.g., A2A and / or A2B) assays containing such labeled or substituted compounds.
[0446] kit The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutical kits useful, for example, in the treatment or prevention of diseases or disorders described herein, which include one or more containers housing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the disclosed compounds / antibodies. As will be apparent to those skilled in the art, such kits can optionally further include one or more of a variety of conventional pharmaceutical kit components, such as, for example, a container with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additional containers, etc. Instructions, either as an insert or label, indicating the amounts of components to be administered, administration guidelines, and / or guidelines for mixing the components, can also be included in the kit.
[0447] The present invention will be described in more detail by specific examples. The following examples are provided for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-critical parameters that can be changed or modified to achieve essentially the same results. It is understood that certain features of the present invention that are described for clarity in the context of separate embodiments can also be provided in a single embodiment in combination. Conversely, various features of the present invention that are described for brevity in the context of a single embodiment can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.
[0448]
[0013] Various modifications of the present invention, in addition to those described herein, will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description. Such modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims. Each reference cited in this application, including all patents, patent applications, and patent publications, is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. [Example]
[0449] The following are examples of the practice of the present invention, which should not be construed in any way as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0450] Example 1. Antitumor effect of antibody Y in combination with retifanlimab and compound 9.
[0451] Antibody Y, an anti-CD73 antibody, Compound 9 (3-(8-amino-5-(1-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazin-3-yl)-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-6-yl)benzonitrile, see Table 1), and / or the anti-PD-1 antibody, retifanlimab, as single agents and in combination with A2A / A2B small molecule receptor antagonists, were analyzed in a humanized mouse host bearing the human breast adenocarcinoma tumor, MDA-MB-231, a high expresser of CD73 and an established responder to PD-1 / PD-L1 blockade. Female human CD34+ reconstituted mice (29 weeks old, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were injected with 3x10 cells suspended in Matrigel (Corning Life Sciences). 6 MDA-MB-231 cells (ATCC# HTB-26) were inoculated subcutaneously into the shaved left flank. On day 7, and every 3-4 days thereafter, tumors were measured with calipers and tumor volumes were calculated using the formula: Volume = [L (longitudinal dimension) × W 2 Based on these measurements, mice were assigned to a group with a mean starting tumor volume of 180 mm 3 Mice were randomly assigned to eight treatment groups of 10 mice each. The tested agents were formulated and administered as follows: Antibody Y was diluted in phosphate-buffered saline to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL and administered to mice at a dose of 10 mg / kg every 5 days via intraperitoneal (ip) injection at 10 mL / kg. Retifanlimab (MacroGenics) was diluted to 1 mg / mL and administered intraperitoneally every 5 days. For combination treatment, the two antibodies were co-formulated at a concentration of 1 mg / mL each. The oral vehicle was 5% N,N-dimethylacetamide in 0.5% methylcellulose in 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 3.0 (all reagents obtained from Sigma) and was administered by oral gavage (po) twice daily (bid). Compound 9 (Incyte Corporation) was formulated in the latter vehicle at a concentration of 1 mg / mL and administered orally at 10 mg / mL twice daily for an effective dose of 10 mg / kg. The following treatments and combinations were tested:
[0452] 1) Vehicle and IgG isotype control; 2) Retifanlimab, 3) Antibody Y, 4) compound 9, 5) Retifanlimab + antibody Y, 6 retifanlimab + compound 9, 7) Antibody Y + Compound 9, and 8) Retifanlimab + antibody Y + compound 9.
[0453] Treatment began on day 7 and continued for 28 days until day 35. Animals continued to be followed individually after treatment ended until the humane endpoint of the study, which was achieved when tumor volume reached 10% or more of the mouse's body weight.
[0454] By day 35, when treatment was discontinued, all combinations exhibited superior tumor growth inhibition compared with their component single agents and vehicle. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI), defined as (1 - treatment group volume) / control group volume) x 100, was analyzed for the entire study on day 47, the last day before some animals were terminated for this endpoint. Significance was determined by nonparametric post-hoc tests (Kruskal-Wallis). Data are summarized in Table A and Figure 1. [Table 6]
[0455] For survival analysis, mice were followed to endpoint until day 90. As shown in Figure 2, all combinations with antibody Y promoted survival compared to the control group, which had a median survival of 60 days; the combination with retifanlimab (62 days), the combination with compound 9 (74 days), and the combination of retifanlimab, compound 9, and antibody Y (72 days). This data demonstrates that blockade of both CD73 with antibody Y and A2A / A2B receptors with compound 9 improves disease control and mortality compared to single-agent treatment. Furthermore, the best control of tumor growth occurred with the triple combination of antibody Y, compound 9, and retifanlimab.
[0456] Example 2. Phase I, Open-Label, Multicenter Study of Antibody Y as Monotherapy or in Combination with Immunotherapy in Participants with Advanced Solid Tumors I. Purpose This is an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter, dose-escalation and dose-expansion, first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1 study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of antibody Y, administered alone or in combination with compound 9 and / or retifanlimab, in participants with certain advanced solid tumors, including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and certain gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. Participants with CD8 T-cell-positive tumors are being selected because these tumors are more likely to respond to immunotherapy.
[0457] II. Overall Design Phase Ia consists of dose escalation for each treatment group using a hybrid design, which allows for evaluation of safety and tolerability following investigational treatment in participants with advanced solid tumors (limited to CD8 T-cell-positive advanced SCCHN or specified gastrointestinal malignancies, defined herein as colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric / gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), or squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC) after the initial dose-escalation cohort).
[0458] Treatment group A (TGA): Antibody Y as monotherapy Treatment arm B1 (TGB1): Antibody Y in combination with retifanlimab Treatment arm B2 (TGB2): Antibody Y in combination with compound 9 Treatment Group C (TGC): Antibody Y in combination with retifanlimab and Compound 9 Following the initial dose-escalation cohort in each treatment arm, which will enroll participants with advanced solid tumors, enrollment in subsequent dose-escalation cohorts will be limited to participants with CD8 T-cell-positive advanced SCCHN or certain gastrointestinal malignancies (i.e., the same inclusion criteria as in Phase 1b will apply), and will require pre- and on-treatment biopsies, which may be performed before initiating enrollment in the second dose level or any time thereafter, based on emerging PK data (i.e., saturation of target-mediated pharmacokinetics (TMDD)).
[0459] Phase 1b is a dose expansion to better characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamic effects, and preliminary tumor activity of antibody Y as monotherapy or in combination with retifanlimab and / or Compound 9 at the monotherapy recommended expansion dose (RDE), with a total of approximately 120 evaluable participants for each combination. Phase 1b participants will be limited to patients with select CD8 T cell-positive advanced or metastatic SCCHN or specified gastrointestinal malignancies (defined herein as colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric / gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), or squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC)).
[0460] TGA (antibody Y monotherapy) - SCCHN: 10 participants - Specific gastrointestinal malignancies: 10 participants TGB1 (antibody Y + retifanlimab) - SCCHN: 10 participants - Specific gastrointestinal malignancies: 10 participants · TGB2 (antibody Y + compound 9) - SCCHN: 20 participants - Specific gastrointestinal malignancies: 20 participants TGC (antibody Y + retifanlimab + compound 9) - SCCHN: 20 participants - Specific gastrointestinal malignancies: 20 participants The study includes a 28-day screening period to determine eligibility, a treatment period of up to two years, an end-of-treatment (EOT) visit, and safety follow-up visits at 30 and 90 days. Participants who discontinue study treatment for reasons other than disease progression will continue to receive assessments of their disease status during the follow-up phase and will be required to continue receiving tumor assessments every 8 weeks for the first 12 months, and every 12 weeks thereafter until initiation of new anti-cancer therapy, disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or study termination, whichever occurs first.
[0461] Tumor assessments will be performed at baseline according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, reviewed by the investigator every 8 weeks for the first year of treatment, and every 12 weeks thereafter. The guidelines for Response Criteria for Use in Investigational Immunotherapy (iRECIST) may be used to determine discontinuation of study treatment due to radiological progressive disease (PD).
[0462] Safety will be assessed from the time participants sign the informed consent until the 90-day safety follow-up visit. Safety data will be reviewed regularly by a safety assessment committee.
[0463] Mandatory pre- and on-treatment biopsies will be collected from all participants, except at the initial dose level of each treatment arm in the dose-escalation Phase Ia study. If adequate on-treatment tumor tissue is not available, participants will be allowed to continue in the study.
[0464] In Phase Ia, up to six additional participants may be enrolled at one dose level if there are insufficient evaluable paired biopsy specimens.
[0465] The objective of Phase 1b is to obtain at least 10 evaluable paired biopsy specimens within each cohort. If 10 evaluable paired specimens are not obtained after the initial enrollment of a participant, up to 6 additional participants may be enrolled in the cohort (i.e., SCCHN or specific GI malignancies).
[0466] All participants must have CD8 T-cell positive tumors to enter the study (except for participants at the initial dose level of each treatment arm in the dose-escalation Phase Ia). Mandatory pre-treatment biopsies collected from all participants will be analyzed for the presence of CD8+ T-cell lymphocytes as part of pre-screening. Pre-screening allows for the pre-selection of participants with CD8 T-cell positive tumors outside the 28-day screening period and before signing the study's main informed consent form (ICF). Participants are required to sign a specific pre-screening consent form, but no other protocol assessments based on the pre-screening consent form will be conducted.
[0467] Participants in the Phase Ia and Ib TGAs with available archival tissue may submit archival tissue for this prescreening analysis, but eligible participants will be required to undergo a new biopsy during screening for biomarker analysis. These fresh biopsies during screening are required to obtain frozen tissue samples necessary for evaluation of CD73 enzyme activity.
[0468] Paired tumor biopsies collected in this study will be used to demonstrate the pharmacodynamic activity of Antibody Y (versus fresh paired biopsy specimens), assess changes in the tumor and tumor microenvironment (TME), identify potential biomarkers, and develop and evaluate an adenosine-regulated gene expression signature.
[0469] III. Phase Ia - Dose Escalation An open-label hybrid design will be used to assess safety and tolerability and identify the RDE of TGA and combination treatment arms TGB1, TGB2, and TGC in participants with advanced solid tumors (limited to CD8 T-cell positive advanced SCCHN or specific gastrointestinal malignancies (CRC, GEJ cancer, HCC, PDAC, or SCAC) after the initial dose-escalation cohort). Details of each treatment arm are provided in the relevant subsections that follow.
[0470] Dose escalation will begin with TGA. The decision to begin enrollment in dose escalation cohorts for TGB1, TGB2, and TGC will be based on observed safety, tolerability, clinical activity, PK, and pharmacodynamics of antibody Y.
[0471] Hybrid statistical designs to guide dose escalation The hybrid design is a hybrid of the modified toxicity probability interval design and the dose-toxicity model and has three steps.
[0472] Step 1. Target dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate of 28% T The modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI) design (see, e.g., Ji et al. Clin.Trials. 2010;7:653-663) with p = 0.001 is first calculated as the posterior probability (p T + ε2,1) is used to modify the mTPI to control overdose toxicity to be less than 0.8. With this rule, if 3 out of 6 participants experience a DLT, the DLT rate is approximately 50%, and if the observed toxicity rate is high, the modified mTPI warrants dose de-escalation rather than remaining at the current dose level. Table B shows the dose escalation rules based on the number of DLTs observed in a dose level cohort: E = escalate to the next higher dose, D = de-escalate to the next lower dose, DU = current dose unacceptably toxic, and S = maintain current dose. The target toxicity rate p T : 28%. A flat, non-informative prior distribution, Beta(1,1), was used with ε1 = ε2 = 0.05 (see, e.g., Ji et al., Clin.Trials 2010, 7:653-663; and Ji et al., J.Clin.Oncol. 2013, 31:1785-1791). Posterior toxicity probability cutoff: 0.8. [Table 7]
[0473] Step 2. The second step of the hybrid design is to use a dose-toxicity model, pooling all observed safety information at all previous doses, to estimate the DLT rate at the current dose level and predict the DLT rate at the next dose level in the interim dose list. The estimated DLT rate at the current dose level is used with the decision rule from the modified mTPI in Table B to jointly make decisions about dose escalation. If the dose-toxicity model is infeasible (e.g., if no DLTs are observed at the doses tested), no action is required in this step.
[0474] Step 3. If the decision in Table B results in a dose escalation (E) to the next dose level in the interim dose list, the predicted DLT rate using the dose-toxicity model in Step 2 is used to determine whether the next dose level is feasible by verifying whether the predicted DLT rate at the next dose level exceeds the pre-specified target DLT rate. If the predicted DLT rate exceeds the target DLT rate, the next dose level in the interim dose list cannot be used. Instead, the intermediate dose from the dose-toxicity model is calibrated to ensure that the DLT rate is below the target DLT rate. If the decision in Table B results in a dose de-escalation (D) to a lower dose level in the interim dose list, the intermediate dose from the previously used dose-toxicity model is calibrated to ensure that the DLT rate is below the target DLT rate. Note that selecting an intermediate dose level requires consideration of what is clinically and operationally feasible (e.g., based on variability in exposure among participants). If the decision in Table B results in maintaining the current dose (S), the estimated DLT rate at the current dose using the dose-toxicity model in Step 2 is used to make the decision. If the estimated DLT at the current dose exceeds a pre-specified target DLT rate, a decision to taper the dose (D) is made, otherwise maintenance (S).
[0475] At least three evaluable participants are required at each dose level; however, three, four, five, or six participants may be enrolled depending on the funding rate. Approximately 30 evaluable participants may be treated in each treatment arm during the dose escalation phase; the dose escalation procedure may be stopped if the number of evaluable participants treated at any dose level is nine or more. If new data support an intolerable dose (D or DU) de-escalation at the lowest dose level, the trial will evaluate the data to determine whether a lower dose (or alternative schedule) should be considered.
[0476] When adding participants in response to a "maintenance (S)" decision, the number of additional participants enrolled is limited to minimize exposure to doses that may have unacceptable toxicity (labeled "Unacceptable Dose (DU)" in Table B). Next, to determine how many more participants can be enrolled at that dose level, the steps can be counted diagonally (downward to the right) from the current cell to the first cell marked DU. For example, if one of three participants experiences a DLT at a particular dose level, no more than three additional participants should be enrolled at this dose level until additional DLT data are available. This is because if all three additional participants experience a DLT (i.e., four of six participants in Table B experience a DLT), that dose level is considered to have unacceptable toxicity.
[0477] If no DLTs are observed at all proposed doses and there is no clear efficacy-related signal at the highest dose level, the dose escalation procedure may continue by enrolling additional participants at higher dose levels.
[0478] At the end of the dose-escalation procedure, DLT rates at all dose levels tested will be estimated based on the dose-toxicity model described above, if feasible, or based on a pooled adjacent violation algorithm if a parametric dose-toxicity model is not feasible. The dose with an estimated DLT rate closest to 28% will be treated as the MTD. However, the totality of available data, including new safety, PK, progressive disease (PD), and other biomarker information, will be considered before determining the dose to proceed to Phase 1b.
[0479] Treatment group A: Antibody Y monotherapy Dose-escalation enrollment will begin with antibody Y monotherapy, administered intravenously (IV) at a dose of 70 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) on days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle. The DLT assessment period will be 28 days. Once evaluable participants in a dose-level cohort have completed the 28-day DLT period, safety and tolerability will be assessed before initiating the next dose-level cohort. The proposed dose (70 mg Q2W) attempts to minimize late-stage cancer patients' exposure to subtherapeutic antibody Y while balancing the safety risks associated with the nonclinical pharmacological and toxicological profiles. This dose was determined from a weight-of-evidence (WOE) of all nonclinical data and is believed to provide an acceptable risk-benefit profile.
[0480] Planned dose levels of antibody Y to be investigated in this study may include 70 mg, 250 mg, 750 mg, and 1500 mg, with doses selected based on emerging data. Doses above 250 mg will not be increased by more than three-fold. Intermediate dose levels may be considered if supported by safety, PK, or pharmacodynamic data.
[0481] Participants must have received two doses of antibody Y at the level assigned to Q2W dosing, or one dose of antibody Y at the level assigned to Q4W dosing, or experienced a DLT evaluable for dose tolerability during the 28-day DLT observation period. Participants deemed unevaluable for reasons other than toxic...
