[0016] (Detailed Description of the Invention) Multispecific antibodies combine the benefits of different binding specificities from two or more antibodies into a single composition. Multispecific antibodies for redirecting T cells to cancer have shown promise in both preclinical and clinical studies. This approach relies on the binding of one antigen-interacting portion of the antibody to a tumor-associated antigen or marker, while the second antigen-interacting portion can bind to an effector cell antigen on T cells, such as CD3, which then elicits cytotoxic activity. One such tumor-associated antigen is the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). EGFR is a transmembrane protein that is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family of extracellular protein ligands. EGFR is the most commonly overexpressed membrane protein in cancer. However, EGFR expression is not limited to tumors but is widely expressed throughout the body, resulting in systemic toxicity from EGFR-directed therapies.

[0017] T cell engager (TCE) therapy has several advantages, including not being a cell therapy and therefore can be provided as an off-the-shelf therapy, in contrast to chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T cell) therapy. While TCE therapy has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in hematological cancers, the development of TCEs to treat solid tumors faces challenges due to limitations of conventional TCE technology: (i) immune system overactivation resulting in cytokine release syndrome (CRS), (ii) on-target healthy tissue toxicity, and (iii) poor pharmacokinetics (PK) resulting in a short half-life. CRS arises from systemic activation of T cells and can result in life-threatening elevations of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Severe and acute CRS resulting in dose-limiting toxicity and death has been observed upon administration of T cell engagers developed using other platforms to treat cancer patients in unsuccessful clinical studies. This toxicity limits the maximum blood concentration of T cell engagers that can be safely administered. The efficacy of T cell engagers is also limited due to on-target healthy tissue toxicity. T cell engagers developed using platforms not designed for tumor-specific activation have resulted in clinical holdup and dose-limiting toxicities resulting from target expression in healthy tissues. T cell engagers are also limited by their short half-lives. Because of their short exposure half-life, T cell engagers are rapidly cleared from the body, rapidly reaching subtherapeutic levels after administration. For this reason, T cell engagers such as blinatumomab are typically administered via low-dose continuous infusion pumps over several weeks to overcome the short half-life challenge and maintain therapeutic drug levels in the body. Continuous administration regimens impose a significant burden on patients.

[0018] To overcome these challenges related to the efficacy of T cell engagers, described herein are polypeptides or polypeptide complexes comprising binding domains that selectively bind to an effector cell antigen and EGFR, wherein one or more binding domains are selectively activated in the tumor microenvironment, and the isolated polypeptides or polypeptide complexes comprise half-life extension molecules. Such modifications reduce the risk of CRS and on-target healthy tissue toxicity, and improve stability in the bloodstream and serum half-life before activation. The polypeptides or polypeptide complexes described herein are active at low levels of target expression and are easily manufactured.

[0173] As used herein, the term "percent (%) amino acid sequence identity" for a sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical to the amino acid residues in a specific sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps as necessary to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and without considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for the purpose of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in a variety of ways within the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as EMBOSS MATCHER, EMBOSS WATER, EMBOSS STRETCHER, EMBOSS NEEDLE, EMBOSS LALIGN, BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms required to achieve maximum alignment across the full length of the sequences being compared. In situations where ALIGN-2 is used for amino acid sequence comparison, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to a given amino acid sequence B (which may alternatively be expressed as a given amino acid sequence A having or containing % amino acid sequence identity to given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: multiply the fraction X / Y by 100, where X is the number of amino acid residues scored by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 as identical matches in the sequences A and B in that program, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It should be understood that if the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not be equal to the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless otherwise specified, all % amino acid sequence identity values ​​used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program.

[0252] Production of antibodies that bind to EGFR and CD3 In some embodiments, the polypeptides (e.g., antibodies and binding fragments thereof) described herein are produced using any method known in the art to aid in the synthesis of polypeptides (e.g., antibodies), inter alia, by chemical synthesis or by recombinant expression, and are preferably produced by recombinant expression techniques.

[0253] In some examples, antibodies or binding fragments thereof are recombinantly expressed, and nucleic acids encoding the antibodies or binding fragments thereof are assembled from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides (e.g., as described in Kutmeier et al., 1994, BioTechniques 17:242), which involves synthesizing overlapping oligonucleotides containing portions of the antibody-encoding sequence, annealing and ligating those oligonucleotides, and then amplifying the ligated oligonucleotides by PCR.

[0254] Alternatively, nucleic acid molecules encoding antibodies are optionally generated from a suitable source (e.g., an antibody cDNA library, or a cDNA library generated from any tissue or cell that expresses immunoglobulins) by PCR amplification using synthetic primers capable of hybridizing to the 3' and 5' ends of the sequence, or by cloning using oligonucleotide probes specific for the particular gene sequence.

[0255] In some examples, the antibody or binding fragment thereof is optionally produced by immunizing an animal such as a mouse to produce polyclonal antibodies, or more preferably, by producing monoclonal antibodies, e.g., as described by Kohler and Milstein (1975, Nature 256:495-497), or by Kozbor et al. (1983, Immunology Today 4:72), or by Cole et al. (1985 in Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp.77-96). Alternatively, clones encoding at least the Fab portion of the antibody are optionally obtained by screening Fab expression libraries for clones of FAb fragments that bind to a specific antigen (e.g., as described in Huse et al., 1989, Science 246:1275-1281) or by screening antibody libraries (see Clackson et al., 1991, Nature 352:624; Hane et al., 1997 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:4937).

[0256] In some embodiments, techniques developed for producing "chimeric antibodies" by splicing genes from a mouse antibody molecule of appropriate antigen specificity together with genes from a mouse antibody molecule of appropriate biological activity (Morrison et al., 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 81:851-855; Neuberger et al., 1984, Nature 312:604-608; Takeda et al., 1985, Nature 314:452-454) are used. Chimeric antibodies are molecules in which different portions are derived from different animal species, such as those having a variable region derived from a mouse monoclonal antibody and a human immunoglobulin constant region.

[0257] In some embodiments, techniques described for the production of single-chain antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,778; Bird, 1988, Science 242:423-42; Huston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883; and Ward et al., 1989, Nature 334:544-54) are adapted to produce single-chain antibodies. Single-chain antibodies are formed by linking the heavy and light chain fragments of the Fv region via an amino acid bridge, resulting in a single-chain polypeptide. Techniques for the assembly of functional Fv fragments in E. coli are also optionally used (Skerra et al., 1988, Science 242:1038-1041).

[0258] In some embodiments, an expression vector containing an antibody nucleotide sequence or the antibody nucleotide sequence is introduced into host cells by conventional techniques (e.g., electroporation, liposome transfection, and calcium phosphate precipitation), and the transfected cells are then cultured by conventional techniques to produce the antibody. In certain embodiments, antibody expression is regulated by a constitutive, inducible, or tissue-specific promoter.

[0259] In some embodiments, various host-expression vector systems are utilized to express the antibodies or binding fragments thereof described herein. Such host-expression systems represent not only the vehicle in which the antibody coding sequence is produced and subsequently purified, but also cells that, when transformed or transfected with the appropriate nucleotide coding sequence, express the antibody or binding fragment thereof in situ. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis) transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA, or cosmid DNA expression vectors containing the antibody or its binding fragment coding sequence; yeast (e.g., Saccharomyces pichia) transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing the antibody or its binding fragment coding sequence; insect cell systems infected with recombinant viral expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing the antibody or its binding fragment coding sequence; plant cell systems infected with recombinant viral expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing the antibody or its binding fragment coding sequence; or mammalian cell systems (e.g., COS, CHO, BH, 293, 293T, 3T3 cells) harboring recombinant expression constructs containing promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., adenovirus late promoter; vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter).

[0260] For long-term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is preferred. In some instances, cell lines that stably express antibodies are optionally engineered. Rather than using expression vectors containing viral origins of replication, host cells are transformed with DNA controlled by appropriate expression control elements (e.g., promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, polyadenylation sites, etc.) and a selectable marker. After introduction of the exogenous DNA, engineered cells are grown in rich medium for 1-2 days and then switched to selective medium. The selectable marker on the recombinant plasmid confers resistance to selection, allowing cells to stably integrate the plasmid into their chromosomes and grow to form foci, which are cloned and expanded into cell lines. This method can be advantageously used to engineer cell lines that express antibodies or their binding fragments.

[0261] In some examples, a number of selection systems are used, including, but not limited to, herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler et al., 1977, Cell 11:223), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska & Szybalski, 192, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 48:202), and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy et al., 1980, Cell 22:817) genes utilized in tk cells, hgprt cells, or aprt cells, respectively. Similarly, antimetabolite resistance has been used as a selection criterion for the following genes: dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler et al., 1980, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:357; O'Hare et al., 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:1527); gpt, which confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (Mulligan & Berg, 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:2072); and the aminoglycoside G-418 (Clinical Pharmacy 12:488-505; Wu and Wu, 1991, Biotherapy 3:87-95; Tolstoshev, 1993, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 32:573-596; Mulligan, 1993, Science 260:926-932; and Morgan and Anderson, 1993, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 62:191-217; May 1993, TIB TECH 11(5):155-215), and neo, which confers resistance to hygromycin (Santerre et al., 1984, Gene 30:147).Methods generally known in the art of recombinant DNA technology that can be used are described in Ausubel et al. (eds., 1993, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY; Kriegler, 1990, Gene Transfer and Expression, A Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY; and in Chapters 12 and 13, Dracopoli et al. (eds), 1994, Current Protocols in Human Genetics, John Wiley & Sons, NY.; Colberre-Garapin et al., 1981, J. Mol. Biol. 150:1).

[0262] In some instances, antibody expression levels are increased by vector amplification (for a review, see Bebbington and Hentschel, *The use of vectors based on gene amplification for the expression of cloned genes in mammalian cells in DNA cloning*, Vol. 3 (Academic Press, New York, 1987)). If the marker in the antibody expression vector system is amplifiable, increasing the level of inhibitor present in the host cell culture will increase the number of copies of the marker gene. Because the amplified region is related to the antibody nucleotide sequence, antibody production will also increase (Crouse et al., 1983, Mol. Cell Biol. 3:257).

[0263] In some examples, any method for purification of antibodies known in the art is used, for example, by chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity, especially affinity to a specific antigen followed by Protein A, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or other standard techniques for purification of proteins.

[0264] Expression vector In some embodiments, the vector comprises any suitable vector derived from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic source.

Suitable containers include, for example, bottles, vials, syringes, IV solution bags, and the like. The container may be formed from a variety of materials, such as glass or plastic. The container holds a composition effective for treating, preventing, and / or diagnosing a disease, alone or in combination with another composition, and may have a sterile access port (e.g., the container may be an intravenous solution bag or vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic needle). At least one active agent in the composition is a bispecific antibody comprising a first antigen-binding site that specifically binds CD3 and a second antigen-binding site that specifically binds EGFR, as defined herein above.

[0283] The label or package insert indicates that the composition is used to treat a selected condition. Additionally, the article of manufacture may include (a) a first container having a composition disposed therein, the composition comprising a bispecific antibody of the invention; and (b) a second container having a composition disposed therein, the composition further comprising a cytotoxic or otherwise therapeutic agent. The article of manufacture in this embodiment of the invention may further include a package insert indicating that the composition can be used to treat a particular condition.

[0285] Specific Definitions The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing particular instances only and are not intended to limit the invention. As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms "including," "includes," "having," "has," "with," or variations thereof are used in either the detailed description and / or claims, such terms are intended to be included in a manner similar to the term "comprising."

[0286] The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and includes fully assembled antibodies, antibody fragments capable of binding antigen, such as Fab, F(ab'), Fv, single-chain antibodies (scFv), diabodies, antibody chimeras, hybrid antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and the like.

[0287] The term "complementarity-determining region" or "CDR" refers to a segment of an antibody variable region that is structurally complementary to the epitope to which the antibody binds and is more variable than the rest of the variable region. Accordingly, CDRs are often called hypervariable regions. A variable region contains three CDRs. CDR peptides can be obtained by constructing a gene encoding the CDR of an antibody of interest. Such a gene is prepared, for example, by using the polymerase chain reaction to synthesize the variable region from RNA of antibody-producing cells. See, for example, Larrick et al., Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2:106 (1991); Courtenay-Luck, "Genetic Manipulation of Monoclonal Antibodies," in Monoclonal Antibodies: Production, Engineering and Clinical Application, Ritter et al. (eds.), pages 166-179 (Cambridge University Press 1995); and Ward et al., "Genetic Manipulation and Expression of Antibodies," in Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications, Birch et al., (eds.), pages 137-185 (Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1995).

[0288] The term "Fab" refers to a protein containing the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CH1) of the heavy chain. Fab fragments differ from Fab' fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CH1 domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab'-SH is the designation herein for Fab' in which the cysteine ​​residues of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. Fab' fragments are generated by reduction of the heavy chain disulfide bridges of the F(ab')2 fragment. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.

[0289] A "single-chain variable fragment (scFv)" is a fusion protein consisting of the variable regions of an antibody's heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) connected by a short linker peptide of 10 to approximately 25 amino acids. The linker is typically rich in glycine for flexibility and serine or threonine for solubility, and can connect the N-terminus of the VH to the C-terminus of the VL, or vice versa. This protein retains the specificity of the original antibody despite the removal of the constant region and the introduction of the linker. scFv antibodies are described, for example, in Houston, J.S., Methods in Enzymol. 203 (1991) 46-96. Additionally, antibody fragments include single-chain polypeptides that have the characteristics of a VH domain, i.e., can assemble with a VL domain, or have the characteristics of a VL domain, i.e., can assemble with a VH domain into a functional antigen-binding site, thereby providing the antigen-binding properties of a full-length antibody.
