The Sequence Listing is provided in a file named IGNAB055WOv3.xml, which was created on July 7, 2022 and is 285000 bytes in size. The information in the electronic Sequence Listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Background technology]
[0003] Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface glycoprotein serine protease that has been shown to play a role in extracellular matrix degradation, cell invasion, cell adhesion, wound healing, tissue remodeling, fibrosis, inflammation, and possibly tumor growth. Both membrane-bound and soluble forms of FAP exhibit post-proline cleaving endopeptidase activity with a marked preference for the Ala / Ser-Gly-Pro-Ser / Asn / Ala consensus sequence. FAP also possesses dipeptidyl peptidase activity and exhibits the ability to hydrolyze prolyl bonds between proline and the second residue on the N-terminus, with a preference for Ala-Pro, Ile-Pro, Gly-Pro, Arg-Pro, and Pro-Pro. The enzymatic activity of human FAP is believed to be highest in monoreactive fibroblasts, glucagon-producing A cells of pancreatic islets, and endometrial cells of healthy tissues. In mice, the highest FAP enzyme activity was detected in the uterus, pancreas, submandibular gland, and skin, and the lowest levels in the brain, prostate, leukocytes, and testes. FAP enzyme activity is influenced by cell surface DPP4 (dipeptidyl peptidase IV) and possibly also by TERT, TWIST1, and TCF15. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0043] Antibodies that bind to FAP are known in the art. An antibody designated F19 that specifically binds to FAP is described in US Patent No. 5,059,523. F19 can be obtained from hybridoma cell line ATCC Accession No. HB8269. A minibody that targets FAP, designated MO36, was developed by phage display and is disclosed in Brocks et al. (2001) Phage Display Selection of FAP-Specific scFv. Molec. Med, vol. 7(no. 7) pp. 461-469. An antibody called sibrotuzumab specifically binds to FAPα and is disclosed in US Patent No. 6,455,677. Antibodies 4B9 and 28H1, which also bind to FAP, are disclosed in US Patent Publication No. 20120128591.
[0044] Described herein are antigen-binding constructs, including minibody and cys-diabody formats thereof. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs bind to FAPs. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs can be used to target FAPs for diagnostic and / or therapeutic purposes. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs can be at least one of an antibody, a minibody, and a cys-diabody. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs can be combined with at least one of a payload, a chelator, a label (such as a detectable marker), a small molecule, and / or a therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, targeting a FAP provides a health benefit to a subject in need thereof.
[0045] definition As used herein, "a" or "an" can mean one or more than one.
[0046] As used herein, the terms "about" or "approximately" have their ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, and thus indicate that a numerical value includes the inherent variation of error for the method used to determine the numerical value or the variation that exists between multiple determinations.
[0047] Throughout this specification, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms "comprise", "comprises", and "comprising" will be understood to mean the inclusion of the stated step or element or group of steps or elements, but not the exclusion of any other step or element or group of steps or elements. "Consisting of" means inclusive and limited to everything that follows the phrase "consisting of". Thus, the phrase "consisting of" indicates that the recited elements are necessary or mandatory, and no other elements may be present. "Consisting essentially of" means including any elements recited after the phrase, and is limited to other elements that do not interfere with or contribute to the activity or action specified in this disclosure for the recited elements. Thus, the phrase "consisting essentially of" indicates that the recited elements are necessary or mandatory, but that other elements are optional and may or may not be present depending on whether they materially affect the activity or action of the recited elements.
[0048] As used herein, "optionally" or "optionally" means that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes cases where the event or circumstance occurs and cases where it does not occur. For example, an optionally substituted group means that the group is either unsubstituted or substituted.
[0049] The terms "function" and "functional" as used herein have their plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification and refer to biological, enzymatic, or therapeutic functions.
[0050] The term "inhibit" as used herein has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in light of the present specification and can refer to a reduction or prevention of biological activity. The reduction can be 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%, about, at least, at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%, or less than 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%, or less than about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%, or an amount within a range defined by any two of the above values. The term "delay" as used herein has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in light of this specification, and refers to the slowing, postponement, or postponement of a biological event to a later time than would otherwise be expected. The delay may be 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, about, at least, at least about 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or less, or about 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or an amount within a range defined by any two of the above values. A non-limiting example of inhibition as used herein can refer to a reduction in FAP activity upon contact with an antigen-binding construct, e.g., a reduction in dipeptidyl peptidase activity, endopeptidase activity, and / or proteolytic activity. In some embodiments, inhibition is measured in an enzyme assay, which quantifies the decrease in activity of the enzyme of interest with increasing inhibitor concentration. For example, the amount of fluorescent substrate cleaved by the FAP is measured in the presence of a potential FAP inhibitor, such as BR03354. Inhibition values are typically expressed as IC50, where half of the activity of the enzyme is inhibited at that given inhibitor concentration. In some embodiments, FAP inhibitors have IC50 values of 10-20 nM. The terms inhibition and delay do not necessarily indicate 100% inhibition or delay.Partial inhibition or retardation may be achieved.
[0051] The term "yield" of any given substance, compound, or material, as used herein, has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in light of the present specification, and refers to the actual total amount of the substance, compound, or material relative to the expected total amount. For example, the yield of a substance, compound, or material may be about, at least, or at least about 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% of the expected total amount. , or 100%, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100% or less, or about 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100%, including all decimal points therebetween. Yields can be affected by the efficiency of the reaction or process, undesired side reactions, decomposition, quality of the input substances, compounds, or materials, or loss of desired substances, compounds, or materials during any step of production.
[0052] As used herein, the term "isolated" has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in light of the present specification and refers to a substance and / or entity that (1) has been separated from at least a portion of the components that were associated with it when initially produced (whether in nature and / or in an experimental setting) and / or (2) has been produced, prepared, and / or manufactured by the hand of man. An isolated substance and / or entity is one that is about, at least, at least about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, about 95%, about 98%, about 99%, substantially 100%, or equal to 100% of the other components with which it was initially associated.

[0053] As used herein, "in vivo" is to be given its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification and refers to the performance of a method in a living organism, usually animals, mammals, including humans, and plants, or in the living cells that make up such a living organism, as opposed to a tissue extract or a dead organism.
[0054] As used herein, "ex vivo" is given its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification and refers to carrying out the method outside a living organism with minimal alteration from natural conditions.
[0055] As used herein, "in vitro" is given its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification and refers to performing a method outside biological conditions, e.g., in a petri dish or test tube.
[0056] As used herein, "nucleic acid", "nucleic acid molecule", or "nucleotide" refers to polynucleotides or oligonucleotides, such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA), oligonucleotides, fragments produced by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and fragments produced by either ligation, cleavage, endonuclease action, exonuclease action, and synthetic production. Nucleic acid molecules may be composed of monomers that are naturally occurring nucleotides (such as DNA and RNA), or analogs of naturally occurring nucleotides (e.g., enantiomeric forms of naturally occurring nucleotides), or combinations of both. Modified nucleotides may have alterations in the sugar moiety and / or the pyrimidine or purine base moiety. Sugar modifications include, for example, replacement of one or more hydroxyl groups with halogens, alkyl groups, amines, and azide groups, or the sugar may be functionalized as an ether or ester. Additionally, the entire sugar moiety may be replaced with sterically and electronically similar structures, such as azasugars and carbocyclic sugar analogs. Examples of modifications in the base moiety include alkylated purines and pyrimidines, acylated purines or pyrimidines, or other well-known heterocyclic substitutes. The nucleic acid monomers may be linked by phosphodiester bonds or analogs of such linkages. Analogs of phosphodiester linkages include phosphorothioates, phosphorodithioates, phosphoroselenoates, phosphorodiselenoates, phosphoroanilothioates, phosphoranilidates, and phosphoramidates. The term "nucleic acid molecule" also includes so-called "peptide nucleic acids," which contain naturally occurring or modified nucleobases attached to a polyamide backbone. Nucleic acids may be single-stranded or double-stranded.
[0057] The terms "peptide", "polypeptide" and "protein" as used herein have their plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification and refer to a polymer composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. The functions of peptides, polypeptides and proteins are numerous and known in the art, including but not limited to enzymatic, structural, transport, defensive, hormonal or signal transduction. Peptides, polypeptides and proteins are often, but not always, produced biologically by ribosomal complexes using nucleic acid templates, although chemical synthesis is also available. By manipulating the nucleic acid template, peptide, polypeptide and protein mutations can be performed, such as substitutions, deletions, truncations, additions, duplications or fusions of more than one peptide, polypeptide or protein.Such fusions of more than one peptide, polypeptide, or protein may be contiguously joined in the same molecule, or may be joined via extra amino acids in between, such as a linker, repeat, epitope, or tag, or any other sequence, which may be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 150, 200, or 300 bases in length, about, at least, at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 , 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 150, 200, or 300 bases long, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 150, 200, or 30 The length of the polypeptide may be 0 bases or less, or about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 150, 200, or 300 bases or less, or any length in the range defined by any two of the above lengths. The term "downstream" of a polypeptide, as used herein, has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification, and refers to a sequence that is located after the C-terminus of a preceding sequence. The term "upstream" of a polypeptide, as used herein, has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification, and refers to a sequence that is located before the N-terminus of a following sequence.
[0058] The term "amino acid" refers to naturally occurring and synthetic amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function similarly to naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, gamma-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Amino acid analogs refer to compounds that have the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., an alpha-carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and an R group, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methylsulfonium. Such analogs have modified R groups (e.g., norleucine) or modified peptide backbones, but retain the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid. Amino acid mimetics refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that function similarly to a naturally occurring amino acid.
[0059] "Conservatively modified variants" applies to both amino acid and nucleic acid sequences. With respect to a particular nucleic acid sequence, conservatively modified variants refer to nucleic acids that code for identical or essentially identical amino acid sequences, or essentially identical sequences when the nucleic acid does not code for an amino acid sequence. Due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, a large number of functionally identical nucleic acids code for any given protein. For example, the codons GCA, GCC, GCG, and GCU all code for the amino acid alanine. Thus, at every position where alanine is specified by a codon, the codon can be altered to any of the corresponding codons described without altering the encoded polypeptide. Such nucleic acid variations are "silent variations," which are one type of conservatively modified variation. Every nucleic acid sequence herein that codes for a polypeptide also describes every possible silent variation of the nucleic acid. Those skilled in the art will recognize that each codon of a nucleic acid (except AUG, which is usually the only codon for methionine, and TGG, which is usually the only codon for tryptophan) can be modified to produce a functionally identical molecule. Thus, every silent variation of a nucleic acid that codes for a polypeptide is implicit in each described sequence.
[0060] With respect to amino acid sequences, one of skill in the art will recognize that individual substitutions, deletions, or additions to a nucleic acid, peptide, polypeptide, or protein sequence that alter, add, or delete a single amino acid or a small percentage of the amino acids in the encoded sequence are "conservatively modified variants" in which the alteration results in the replacement of an amino acid with a chemically similar amino acid. Conservative substitution tables providing functionally similar amino acids are well known in the art. Such conservatively modified variants are in addition to, and do not exclude, polymorphic variants, interspecies homologs, and alleles of the constructs provided herein.
[0061] The following eight groups each contain amino acids that are conservative substitutions for one another: 1) alanine (A), glycine (G); 2) aspartic acid (D), glutamic acid (E); 3) asparagine (N), glutamine (Q); 4) arginine (R), lysine (K); 5) isoleucine (I), leucine (L), methionine (M), valine (V); 6) phenylalanine (F), tyrosine (Y), tryptophan (W); 7) serine (S), threonine (T); and 8) cysteine (C), methionine (M) (see, e.g., Creighton, Proteins (1984)).
[0062] "Percentage of sequence identity" can be determined by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, where the portion of the polynucleotide sequence in the comparison window may contain additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) compared to a reference sequence (e.g., a polypeptide of a construct provided herein) that does not contain additions or deletions in order to optimally align the two sequences. The percentage is calculated by determining the number of positions where identical nucleic acid bases or amino acid residues occur in both sequences to determine the number of matching positions, dividing the number of matching positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window, and multiplying the result by 100 to calculate the percentage of sequence identity.
[0063] The term "identical" or percent "identity", in the context of two or more nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences, refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same sequence. Two sequences are "substantially identical" if they have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (e.g., 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity over a specified region or, if not specified, over the entire sequence of the reference sequence) when compared and aligned for maximum matching over a comparison window or over a specified region, as measured using one of the following sequence comparison algorithms or manual alignment and visual inspection. Some embodiments provided herein provide polypeptides or polynucleotides that are substantially identical to the polypeptides or polynucleotides exemplified herein, respectively. Optionally, identity exists over a region that is at least about 15, 25, or 50 nucleotides in length, or more preferably over a region that is 100-500 or 1000 or more nucleotides in length, or over the entire length of the reference sequence. With respect to amino acid sequences, identity or substantial identity may exist over a region that is at least 5, 10, 15, or 20 amino acids in length, optionally at least about 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 75, or 100 amino acids in length, optionally at least about 150, 200, or 250 amino acids in length, or over the entire length of the reference sequence. With respect to shorter amino acid sequences, e.g., amino acid sequences of 20 or fewer amino acids, in some embodiments substantial identity exists when one or two amino acid residues are conservatively substituted according to the conservative substitutions defined herein.
[0064] In sequence comparison, typically, one sequence serves as a reference sequence, and test sequence is compared with it.When using sequence comparison algorithm, test sequence and reference sequence are input into computer, subsequence coordinates are designated as necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated.Default program parameters can be used, or embodiment parameters can be designated.The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identity of test sequence to reference sequence based on program parameters.
[0065] An indication that two nucleic acid sequences or polypeptides are substantially identical is that the polypeptide encoded by the first nucleic acid is immunologically cross-reactive with an antibody raised against the polypeptide encoded by the second nucleic acid, as described below. Thus, in some embodiments, a polypeptide is typically substantially identical to a second polypeptide, for example, where the only difference between the two peptides is a conservative substitution. Another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the two molecules or their complements hybridize to each other under stringent conditions, as described below. Yet another indication that two nucleic acid sequences are substantially identical is that the same primers can be used to amplify the sequences.
[0066] The term "gene" as used herein has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification and generally refers to a portion of a nucleic acid or functional RNA that codes for a protein, although the term may optionally include regulatory sequences. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the term "gene" may include gene regulatory sequences (e.g., promoters, enhancers, etc.) and / or intron sequences. It will be further understood that the definition of a gene includes reference to nucleic acids that do not code for proteins, but rather code for functional RNA molecules such as tRNAs and miRNAs. In some cases, a gene includes regulatory sequences involved in transcription or message production or composition. In other embodiments, a gene includes a transcribed sequence that codes for a protein, polypeptide, or peptide. According to the terminology described herein, an "isolated gene" may include a transcribed nucleic acid, regulatory sequence, or coding sequence, etc., that is substantially isolated from other naturally occurring genes, regulatory sequences, other such sequences, such as polypeptide or peptide coding sequences. In this regard, the term "gene" is used in shorthand to refer to a nucleic acid that includes a transcribed nucleotide sequence and its complement. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the functional term "gene" includes any smaller engineered nucleic acid segment, including genomic sequences, RNA or cDNA sequences, or nucleic acid segments of non-transcribed portions of a gene, including but not limited to non-transcribed promoter or enhancer regions of a gene. Smaller engineered gene nucleic acid segments can express or can be configured to express proteins, polypeptides, domains, peptides, fusion proteins, and / or mutants, etc., using nucleic acid engineering techniques.
[0067] As used herein, an "expression vector" or "vector" is a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a gene to be expressed in a host cell. Typically, an expression vector comprises a transcription promoter, a gene, and a transcription terminator. Gene expression is usually placed under the control of a promoter, and such a gene is said to be "operably linked" to the promoter. Similarly, a regulatory element and a core promoter are operably linked if the regulatory element modulates the activity of the core promoter.
[0068] As used herein, a "ligand" refers to a small molecule, peptide, or protein that can form a complex with another molecule or biomolecule for a biological purpose, such as signal induction. Binding can occur through intermolecular forces, such as ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interactions, etc. Ligand binding to a receptor protein can change its three-dimensional structure and determine its functional state.
[0069] By way of example and not limitation, ligands can include substrates, proteins, small molecules, inhibitors, activators, and neurotransmitters. The binding strength of a ligand is referred to as binding affinity and can be determined by direct interactions and solvent effects. A ligand can be bound by a "ligand-binding domain." A ligand-binding domain refers to a conserved sequence in a structure that can bind to a particular ligand. Without limitation, a ligand-binding domain can be a particular protein domain that is specific for one or more ligands.
[0070] "Specific" or "specificity" can refer to characteristics of a ligand for a binding partner or alternatively a binding partner for a ligand, and can include complementary shape, charge, and hydrophobicity specificities for binding. Specificity of binding can include stereospecificity, regioselectivity, and chemoselectivity.
[0071] "Label," "detectable label," or "detectable marker" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a detectable compound or composition that is directly conjugated to or indirectly associated with an antibody to produce a "labeled" antibody. The label may itself be detectable (e.g., a radioisotope label or a fluorescent label) or, in the case of an enzymatic label, may catalyze chemical alteration of a substrate compound or composition that is detectable.
[0072] The term "payload" refers to an atom or molecule or other entity associated (covalently or otherwise) with an antigen-binding construct. The term "payload" includes labels or markers in the case of diagnostic aspects, as well as toxins, cytotoxic agents, chemotherapeutic agents in the case of various therapeutics. In some embodiments, the payload includes a chelator to attach the antigen-binding construct to a molecule or atom to be delivered or co-localized via the antigen-binding construct.
[0073] The term "cytotoxic agent" as used herein refers to a substance that inhibits or prevents cellular function and / or causes cell death or destruction. This term includes any substance that inhibits or prevents cellular function and / or causes cell death or destruction. 211 , I 131 , I 125 , Y 90 , Re 186 , Re 188 , Sm 53 , Bi 212 , P 32 , Pb 212, and radioisotopes of Lu), chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., methotrexate, adriamicin, vinca alkaloids (vincristine, vinblastine, etoposide), doxorubicin, melphalan, mitomycin C, chlorambucil, daunorubicin, or other intercalating agents), toxins such as small molecule toxins or enzymatically active toxins of bacterial, fungal, plant, or animal origin, including enzymes such as nucleases and fragments thereof, antibiotics, and fragments and / or variants thereof, toxins, growth inhibitory agents, drug moieties, and various antitumor or anticancer agents disclosed below. Other cytotoxic agents are described below. Tumoricidal agents cause the destruction of tumor cells.
[0074] A "toxin" is any substance capable of detrimentally affecting the growth or proliferation of cells.

[0076] "Radiotherapy" refers to treatment using radiation or radioisotopes for therapeutic purposes. Radiotherapy includes radiotherapy intended to exhibit an abscopal effect as described in Yang Liu, Yinping Dong, Li Kong, Fang Shi, Hui Zhu & Jinming Yu; "Abscopal effect of radiotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors"; Journal of Hematology & Oncology, Volume 11, Article No: 104 (2018); and Melek Tugce Yilmaz, Aysenur Elmali, and Gozde Yazici; "Abscopal Effect, From Myth to Reality: From Radiation Oncologists' Perspective"; Cureus, January 2019; Volume 11 (Issue 1).
[0077] The terms "immune checkpoint inhibitors" (sometimes referred to as "ICIs") or "checkpoint inhibitors" (sometimes referred to as "CPIs") or "immune checkpoint blockade inhibitors" and all similar terms refer to a subclass of immunotherapy. Examples include molecules that block certain proteins made by some types of immune system cells, such as T cells, and some cancer cells. These proteins can help keep the immune response in check and prevent T cells from killing cancer cells. When these proteins are blocked, the immune system is free to act and T cells can kill cancer cells. Some embodiments include multispecific agents, including, but not limited to, anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 binding agents, anti-CTLA4 agents, and anti-CTLA-4 / B7-1 / B7-2. Additional immunotherapies include checkpoint inhibitors such as ipilimumab (Yervoy), pembrolizumab (Keytruda), nivolumab (Opdivo), atezolizumab (Tecentriq), avelumab (Bavencio), and durvalumab (Imfinzi). IOTs also include tremelimumab and pidilizumab, and small molecule ICIs are in development including BMS-1001, BMS-1116, CA-170, CA-327, imiquimod, resiquimod, 852A, VTX-2337, ADU-S100, MK-1454, ibrutinib, 3AC, idelalisib, IPI-549, epacadostat, AT-38, CPI-444, vipadenant, preladenant, PBF, AZD4635, galuniseritib, OTX015 / MK-8628, CPI-0610 (see Kerr and Chisolm (2019) The Journal of Immunology, 2019, 202:11-19).
[0078] IOTs are not CPIs, but also include other modalities that activate the host immune system against cancer or render tumors vulnerable to CPI therapy. Such embodiment IOTs include, but are not limited to, T cell immunomodulators such as cytokines IL-2, IL-7, IL-15, IL-21, IL-12, GM-CSF, and IFNα (THOR-707 from Synthorx Therapeutics and NKTR-214 bempegaldesleukin from Nektar Therapeutics); various other interferons and interleukins; TGFβ1 inhibitors (such as SRK-181, which is being developed by Scholar Rock); oncolytic therapy (including oncolytic virus therapy); adoptive cell therapy such as T cell therapy (including CAR-T cell therapy); and cancer vaccines (both preventive and therapeutic). Immunotherapies also include strategies to increase the neo-antigen load of tumor cells, including targeted therapy to cause tumor cells to express or present tumor-associated antigens. (See Galon and Bruni (2019) Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, vol. 18, pp. 197-218.) Additional IOTs include TLR9 ligands (Checkmate Pharmaceuticals), A2A / A2B dual antagonists (Arcus Biosciences), and vaccination peptides against endogenous enzymes such as IDO-1 and arginase (IO Biotech). IOTs include HS-110, HS-130, PTX-35 (Heat Biologics).
[0079] Those skilled in the art will recognize that immunotherapies can be used in combination with each other, and can also be used before, after, or in combination with other therapies for the disease, including, in the case of cancer, radiation therapy, chemotherapy of any type (including the cytotoxic, chemotherapeutic, antihormonal, growth inhibitory agents referenced above), and surgical resection.
[0080] The term "antigen-binding construct" includes any type of antibody, including binding fragments thereof. It further includes constructs comprising one, two, three, four, five, and / or six CDRs. In some embodiments, such CDRs may be distributed among their appropriate framework regions in a conventional antibody. In some embodiments, the CDRs may be comprised within the heavy and / or light chain variable regions. In some embodiments, the CDRs may be comprised within the heavy and / or light chain. In some embodiments, the CDRs may be within a single peptide chain. In some embodiments, the CDRs may be within two or more peptides that are covalently linked to each other. In some embodiments, the peptides may be covalently linked by disulfide bonds. In some embodiments, the peptides may be linked via a linking molecule or moiety. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding protein is non-covalent, such as diabodies and monovalent scFVs. Unless otherwise stated herein, the antigen-binding constructs described herein bind to the indicated target molecule. The term also includes minibodies and cys-diabodies.
[0081] The term "antibody" includes, but is not limited to, genetically engineered or otherwise modified forms of immunoglobulins, such as intrabodies, chimeric antibodies, fully human antibodies, humanized antibodies, antibody fragments, and heteroconjugate antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, etc.). The term "antibody" includes cys-diabodies and minibodies. Thus, any and all embodiments provided herein with respect to "antibody" are also envisioned as cys-diabody and / or minibody embodiments, unless otherwise specified. The term "antibody" includes polypeptides of the immunoglobulin family, or polypeptides including fragments of immunoglobulins capable of non-covalently, reversibly, and specifically binding to a corresponding antigen. Exemplary antibody structural units include tetramers. In some embodiments, a full-length antibody may be composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one "light" chain and one "heavy" chain, connected via disulfide bonds. Recognized immunoglobulin genes include kappa, lambda, alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon, and mu constant region genes, as well as a myriad of immunoglobulin variable region genes. For full-length chains, light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. For full-length chains, heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, respectively. The N-terminus of each chain defines a variable region of about 100-110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The terms variable light chain (VL) and variable heavy chain (VH) refer to these regions of the light and heavy chains, respectively. As used in this application, "antibody" encompasses all variations of antibodies and fragments thereof. Thus, within this concept are full-length antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, single chain antibodies (scFV), Fab, Fab', and multimeric forms of such fragments having the same binding specificity (e.g., F(ab')2). In some embodiments, the antibody specifically binds to a desired target.
[0082] The term "sibrotuzumab" or "BIBH1", as used herein, is given its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of this specification and refers to a known humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to FAP. It was developed by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma KG for the treatment of cancer. However, in 2003, it failed a Phase II clinical trial for metastatic colorectal cancer.
[0083] "Complementarity determining domain" or "complementarity determining region ("CDR")" refers synonymously to the hypervariable regions of VL and VH. CDRs are the target protein binding sites of antibody chains that harbor the specificity for such target protein. In some embodiments, each VL and / or VH has three CDRs (CDR1-3, numbered consecutively from the N-terminus) that constitute about 15-20% of the variable domain. The CDRs are structurally complementary to the epitope of the target protein and are therefore directly responsible for the binding specificity. The remaining parts of the VL or VH, the so-called framework regions (FR), show less variation in amino acid sequence (Kuby, Immunology, 4th ed., Chapter 4, WH Freeman & Co., New York, 2000).
[0084] The locations of the CDRs and framework regions may be determined according to various definitions well known in the art, e.g., Kabat (Wu, TT, EA Kabat, 1970.

In some embodiments, any one or more of the CDRs in any of the sequences provided herein may be defined by any of these CDR definitions.
[0085] "Antibody variable light chain" or "antibody variable heavy chain" as used herein refers to a polypeptide comprising a VL or VH, respectively. An endogenous VL is encoded by gene segments V (variable) and J (junction), and an endogenous VH is encoded by V, D (diversity) and J. Each of the VL or VH comprises CDRs and framework regions. In the present application, the antibody variable light chain and / or the antibody variable heavy chain may sometimes be collectively referred to as "antibody chains". Such terms encompass antibody chains that contain mutations that do not disrupt the basic structure of the VL or VH, as would be readily recognized by one of skill in the art. In some embodiments, full-length heavy and / or light chains are contemplated. In some embodiments, the presence of only the variable regions of the heavy and / or light chains is contemplated.
[0086] Antibodies may exist as intact immunoglobulins or as a number of fragments produced by digestion with various peptidases. Thus, for example, pepsin digests antibodies below the disulfide linkage in the hinge region to produce F(ab)'2, a Fab' dimer, which is itself a light chain (VL-CL) joined to VH-CH1 by a disulfide linkage. F(ab)'2 is reduced under mild conditions to cleave the disulfide linkage in the hinge region, thereby converting the F(ab)'2 dimer into a Fab' monomer. A Fab' monomer is a Fab with a portion of the hinge region. (Paul, Fundamental Immunology 3rd Edition (1993)). Similarly, Fab fragments can be derived by enzymatic digestion of full-length antibodies with papain, which cleaves the antibody at the upper hinge region. Although various antibody fragments are defined in terms of the digestion of an intact antibody, one of skill in the art will appreciate that such fragments can be synthesized de novo, either chemically or by use of recombinant DNA methodology. Thus, the term "antibody," as used herein, also includes antibody fragments produced by the modification of whole antibodies, or antibody fragments synthesized de novo using recombinant DNA methodologies (e.g., single chain Fvs), or antibody fragments identified using phage display libraries (see, e.g., McCafferty et al., Nature 348:552-554 (1990)).
[0087] For the preparation of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, any technique known in the art can be used (see, for example, Kohler & Milstein, Nature 256:495-497 (1975); Kozbor et al., Immunology Today 4:72 (1983); Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, 77-96. Alan R. Liss, Inc. 1985; Advances in the production of human monoclonal antibodies Shixia Wang, Antibody Technology Journal 2011:1:1-4; J Cell Biochem. 2005 Oct. 1; 96(2):305-13; Recombinant polyclonal antibodies for cancer therapy; Sharon J, Liebman MA, Williams BR; and Drug Discov Today. 2006 (See Haurum JS, Recombinant polyclonal antibodies: the next generation of antibody therapeutics?, July 11(13-14):655-60). Techniques for the production of single chain antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778) can be adapted to produce antibodies against polypeptides. Also, transgenic mice, or other organisms such as other mammals, can be used to express fully human monoclonal antibodies. Alternatively, phage display technology can be used to identify high affinity binders to a selected antigen (see, e.g., McCafferty et al., supra; Marks et al., Biotechnology, 10:779-783 (1992)).B cell cloning can be used to identify fully human antibodies directly from a human subject (Wardemann H., Busse E., Expression Cloning of Antibodies from Single Human B Cells, Methods Mol. Biol. (2019) 1956:105-125).
[0088] Methods for humanizing or primatizing non-human antibodies are well known in the art. Generally, in this method, an antibody or antibody fragment derived from a non-human source has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a human (or primate, in the case of primatization) source. In some embodiments, a non-human antibody has one or more amino acid residues introduced into it from a source that is human. Such human amino acid residues are often referred to as import residues, and are typically taken from an import variable domain. In some embodiments, the terms "donor" and "acceptor" sequences can be used. Humanization can be performed essentially according to the method of Winter et al. (see, e.g., Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-327 (1988); Verhoeyen et al., Science 239:1534-1536 (1988); and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 2:593-596 (1992)) by substituting rodent CDRs or CDR sequences for the corresponding sequences of a human antibody. Such humanized antibodies (described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567) thus have substantially less intact non-human variable domain replaced by the corresponding sequences of human origin. In practice, humanized antibodies are typically rodent or other mammalian antibodies in which some complementarity determining region ("CDR") residues and possibly some framework ("FR") residues are substituted by residues from analogous sites in human antibodies.
[0089] Antibodies further comprise one or more immunoglobulin chains that are chemically conjugated to other proteins or expressed as fusion proteins with other proteins. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding construct may be a monovalent scFV construct. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding construct may be a bispecific construct. Bispecific or bifunctional antibodies are artificial hybrid antibodies that have two different heavy / light chain pairs and two different binding sites. Other antigen-binding fragments or antibody portions include bivalent scFVs (diabodies), bispecific scFV antibodies in which the antibody molecule recognizes two different epitopes, single binding domains (sdAbs or nanobodies), and minibodies.
[0090] The term "antibody fragment" includes, but is not limited to, one or more antigen-binding fragments of an antibody alone or in combination with other molecules, including, but not limited to, Fab', F(ab')2, Fab, Fv, rIgG (reduced IgG), scFV fragments (monovalent, trivalent, etc.), single domain fragments (nanobodies), peptibodies, minibodies, diabodies, and cys-diabodies. The term "scFV" refers to a single chain Fv ("variable fragment") antibody in which the variable domains of the heavy and light chains of a traditional two-chain antibody are combined to form one chain.
[0091] A "single-chain variable fragment" or scFV is a fusion protein comprising the variable regions of the immunoglobulin heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains connected by a short linker peptide. Without limitation, the linker may contain glycine for flexibility and hydrophilic amino acids such as serine or threonine for solubility. The linker may connect the N-terminus of the VH to the C-terminus of the VL, or the C-terminus of the VH to the N-terminus of the VL.
[0092] Minibodies are antibody formats that have a smaller molecular weight than full-length antibodies while maintaining bivalent binding properties to antigens. In some embodiments, minibodies are 50-100 kDa, most preferably about 80 kDa. In some embodiments, Fab2 is about 100 kDa. In some embodiments, full-length antibodies are about 150 kDa. In some embodiments, FAP diabodies are about 50 kDa. In some embodiments, cys-diabodies are about 50 kDa. In some embodiments, scFVs are about 25 kDa. In some embodiments, VHHs are about 12 kDa. Minibodies' small size allows for more rapid clearance from the system and enhanced penetration in targeting tumor tissue. Minibodies have strong and selective targeting capabilities combined with rapid clearance, making them advantageous for diagnostic imaging and delivery of cytotoxic / radioactive payloads that may have adverse side effects due to their extended circulation time. The "minibodies" described herein include human IgG1 C, human IgG2 C, human IgG3 C, human IgG4 C, human IgG5 C, human IgG6 C, human IgG7 C, human IgG8 C, human IgG1 C, human IgG1 C, human IgG1 C, human IgG1 C, human IgG2 ... H In some embodiments, the CH3 sequence is a homodimer that is a single chain variable fragment (scFV) linked to three domains. In some embodiments, the hinge sequence is a human IgG1 or IgG2 hinge sequence. In some embodiments, the CH3 sequence is a human IgG1 C H 3 sequences or IgG2 C H Contains 3 sequences.
[0093] In some embodiments, the hinge sequence is an artificial hinge sequence. In some embodiments, the hinge sequence may be an IgG hinge from any one or more of the four classes. The artificial hinge sequence may include a portion of a human IgG1 or IgG2 hinge and a GlySer linker (also known as an "extension" when this section is distinguished from the common linker sequence that connects the Vh and Vl regions) sequence. Artificial hinge sequences and linker sequences that can be usefully used with the present invention are described in WO2017027325A1.
[0094] scFV is V H- V LOrientation may be L- V H In some embodiments, the V H and V L are linked together by an amino acid linker sequence. The amino acid linker may be a linker described herein. In some embodiments, the linker is GlySer-rich and is approximately 15-20 amino acids in length. In another embodiment, the linker is GlySer-rich and is 18 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, the linker length varies from about 1-50 amino acids, e.g., 2-30, 3-20, 4-15, or 5 amino acids to 8 amino acids (and inclusive). In some embodiments, the minibody scFv has a sequence that is at least about 80%, e.g., at least about 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93, 94, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to the scFvs of the cys-diabodies described herein. The scFvs are H -V L Orientation may be L -V H The film may have an orientation.
[0095] In some embodiments, each monomer of a minibody comprises, from N-terminus to C-terminus, the following elements: L V linked to domain H (b) a hinge extension domain comprising a human IgG1 hinge region; and (c) a human IgG C H In some embodiments, each monomer of a minibody comprises, from N-terminus to C-terminus, the following elements: (a) V L V linked to domain H In some embodiments, each monomer of the minibody comprises an IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 C domain and an scFV sequence that binds to a target molecule, (b) a hinge extension domain comprising an IgG2 hinge region as described herein, and (c) a human IgG CH3 sequence. HIn some embodiments, each monomer of a minibody may comprise an IgA or IgD CH3 domain and / or an IgM and / or IgE CH4 domain. In some embodiments, the minibody is encoded by a nucleic acid that can be expressed by a cell, cell line, or other suitable expression system described herein. Thus, a signal sequence can be fused to the N-terminus of the scFv to allow for secretion of the minibody when expressed in a cell or cell line.
[0096] The term "diabody" refers to a heavy chain (V H ) domain and the light chain variable (V L ) domains, each heavy chain domain being connected to a light chain domain via a linker.
[0097] The term "linker" refers to H Domain and V L The linker refers to a peptide sequence that connects the domains. H and V L Domain, V L -V H Orientation or V H -V L The linker can be oriented in either V or V orientation via the peptide backbone. H V L Connect to.
[0098] The term "extension sequence" refers to, for example, in a diabody, the first V H Domain to the second V H domain or the first V L The second V LThe term "extension sequence" refers to a region that connects the domains. The extension sequence can connect the domains via the C-terminus of each domain. In some embodiments, the extension sequence connects the domains by a covalent bond. In some embodiments, the extension sequence will contain one or more cysteines, allowing one or more disulfide bonds to form between two such extension sequences. Examples of extension sequences applied to the C-terminus of a cys-diabody are disclosed in WO2018147960A1. An example of a pair of extension sequences is shown as a line with two cysteines connecting either two heavy chain domains or two light chain domains. The extension sequence will be toward the C-terminus of the construct, but need not be the very last amino acid of the variable domain. That is, the linker may be positioned slightly N-terminal to the C-terminus. For example, the extension sequence may be located within 10 amino acids of the C-terminus. Similarly, additional sequences may be located between the natural C-terminus and where the extension sequence begins. The extension sequence may be linked to the V domain via a disulfide bond. H and V H To or V L and V L and can be connected.
[0099] A cys-diabody refers to a modified protein with an added C-terminal cys sequence that can result in a construct that is a disulfide-bonded dimer. In some embodiments, the cys-diabody is monospecific. In some embodiments, the cys-diabody is bispecific.
[0100] As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, although the disclosure generally refers to antigen-binding constructs, certain cys-diabody embodiment configurations can be used in various embodiments to obtain certain advantages. In some embodiments, the cysteines are cross-linked to one another. In some embodiments, the cysteines are reduced, so that such tail-forming cysteines do not form disulfide bonds with one another. In some embodiments, one or more of the "tail-forming" cysteines form covalent bonds with one or more detectable markers, such as fluorescent probes. In some embodiments, one or more of the "tail-forming" cysteines may be covalently conjugated to half-life extending moieties, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) of different molecular weights. In some embodiments, any covalently modifiable moiety can be used in place of one or more of the cysteines. For example, this can include GlySer linkers, GlyLeu linkers, and / or inserted cysteines after a short tag. In some embodiments, the connection can be established via a coiled coil or leucine zipper. In some embodiments, the "tail" itself may contain functional groups at its termini so that it can be selectively attached to desired residues and / or locations at each end of the polypeptide, instead of the disulfide bond itself. In some embodiments, rather than a tail providing space between the two polypeptide chains, a covalently modifiable moiety may be attached directly to the end of a heavy or light chain polypeptide, although the two covalently modifiable moieties may be connected by a linker. In such embodiments, the construct may still contain cysteines in the tail, but simply not be cross-linked. In other embodiments, the construct need not have cysteines in the tail, or need not have a tail at all.
[0101] The phrases "specifically bind" or "selectively bind", when used in the context of describing the interaction between an antigen, e.g., a protein, and an antibody or antibody-derived binding agent, refer to a binding reaction that determines the presence of the antigen in a heterogeneous population of proteins and other biological products, e.g., in a biological sample, e.g., blood, serum, plasma, or tissue sample. Thus, under specified immunoassay conditions, in some embodiments, an antibody or binding agent with a particular binding specificity binds to a particular antigen at least twice background and does not bind substantially in significant amounts to other antigens present in the sample. Specific binding to an antibody or binding agent under such conditions may require that the antibody or agent be selected for its specificity for a particular protein. A variety of immunoassay formats can be used to select antibodies that are specifically immunoreactive with a particular protein. For example, solid-phase ELISA immunoassays are routinely used to select antibodies that are specifically immunoreactive with a protein (see, e.g., Harlow & Lane, Using Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual (1998), for a description of immunoassay formats and conditions that can be used to determine specific immunoreactivity). Typically, a specific or selective binding reaction will produce a signal that is at least twice background, more typically at least 10-100 times background.
[0102] The term "equilibrium dissociation constant (KD, M)" refers to the dissociation rate constant (kd, time -1 ) as the binding rate constant (ka, time -1 , M -1 The equilibrium dissociation constant can be measured using any method known in the art. The antibodies provided herein have an equilibrium dissociation constant of about 10 -7 or 10 -8 Less than m, e.g., about 10 -9 M or 10 -10 In some embodiments, less than about 10 -11 M, 10 -12 M, 10 -13 M, 10 -14 M or 10-15 The KD can have an equilibrium dissociation constant less than M. In some embodiments, the KD is determined with the antibody dissolved in a buffer. In some embodiments, the buffer is a phosphate buffer.
[0103] "PET" is a diagnostic technique that can be used to observe the function and metabolism of human organs and tissues at the molecular level. In PET, positron-emitting drugs (e.g., 18 F-FDG) may be injected into the human body. When FDG is used, the metabolism of fludoxyglucose (FDG) is similar to that of glucose, so FDG will accumulate in cells that digest glucose. 18 The positron released by the decay of F and the electron in the tissue undergo an annihilation reaction, generating two gamma photons of the same energy in opposite directions. A detector array surrounding the human body can detect the two photons using coincidence techniques to determine the positional information of the positron. This positional information can then be processed using image reconstruction software to construct a cross-sectional image of the positrons within the human body. In some circumstances, immunoPET can be used, in which the antigen-binding construct contains a label (e.g., 18 F) is attached or associated therewith. In such embodiments, the distribution of the antigen-binding construct can be monitored, which will depend on the binding and distribution characteristics of the antigen-binding construct. For example, when a CD8-directed minibody is used, PET can be used to monitor the distribution of CD8 molecules in the host system. PET systems are known in the art, for example, U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 20170357015, 20170153337, 20150196266, 20150087974, 20120318988, and 20090159804. The contents of each of these documents are incorporated herein by reference for their description of PET and its uses.
[0104] In some embodiments, imaging is performed by PET scan, PET / CT scan, or SPECT scan. In some embodiments, imaging is performed by photoacoustics, optical probes, MR imaging, magnetic nanoparticles for imaging, spectroscopy, and / or any other standard imaging method. In some embodiments, at least one optical probe is coupled together with at least one metal chelator. In some embodiments, optical imaging is used for surgical assistance. In some embodiments, photodynamic therapy is used. In some embodiments, photodynamic therapy is used for surgical assistance. In some embodiments, photodynamic therapy is used for theranostics.
[0105] In some embodiments, the diagnosis is performed in vivo. In some embodiments, the diagnosis comprises imaging using the antigen-binding constructs and / or formulations described herein. In some embodiments, the imaging is used for one or more of cancer diagnosis, determining subject stratification for therapy, monitoring subject response to therapy, assisting in surgery, and / or informing therapeutic decision-making.
[0106] In some embodiments, the antigen-binding constructs and / or compositions are used as part of a theranostic approach. The term "theranostics" as used herein has its ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art, and thus refers to a combination of therapy and diagnosis. In some embodiments, theranostics involves a combination of first identifying a disease using a first compound (diagnosis) and then delivering a second compound to treat the disease (therapy). In some embodiments, the second compound is the same as the first compound. In some embodiments, the first and second compounds are derivatives of each other. In some embodiments, the first and second compounds are different from each other. In some embodiments, the first compound is conjugated to a detectable marker, such as a fluorescent marker, a chemically reactive marker, a luminescent marker, or a radioactive marker. In some embodiments, the detectable marker is monitored by imaging. In some embodiments, the second compound is conjugated to a medicamentously effective therapeutic small molecule or payload. In some embodiments, the second compound is conjugated to a toxic radiolabel, a cytotoxic agent, or other molecule capable of producing deleterious effects in a target cell, tissue, organ, or organ system. In some embodiments, the adverse effect is one or more of cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, proliferation arrest, stress induction, cytotoxicity, DNA repair inhibition, necrosis, oxidative stress, nitrosative stress, free radical stress, enhanced targeting by the subject's immune system, protein degradation, enhanced protein turnover, inhibition of protein turnover, metabolic arrest, organelle arrest, transcription arrest, DNA replication arrest, translation arrest, or any combination thereof.

Such pharmaceutical compositions and nutritional supplements are suitable for human and / or veterinary applications.
[0108] The terms "individual," "subject," "host," or "patient," as used herein, have their ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, and thus include a human or non-human mammal. The term "mammal" is used in its ordinary biological sense. Thus, the term specifically includes, but is not limited to, a primate, including a monkey (chimpanzee, ape, monkey), a human, a cow, a horse, a sheep, a goat, a pig, a rabbit, a dog, a cat, a rodent, a rat, a mouse, or a guinea pig.
[0109] As used herein, "treatment" or "therapy" of a disease or condition refers to reducing the severity, frequency, or occurrence of at least one symptom of the disease or condition compared to a similar but untreated patient. Treatment can also refer to halting, slowing, or reversing the progression of a disease or condition compared to a similar but untreated patient. Treatment may further include addressing the underlying cause of the disease and / or one or more symptoms. The term "prevent" does not require that the disorder or disease be completely halted.
[0110] The term "effective amount" or "effective dose" as used herein has its ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art and refers to the amount of a described composition or compound that produces an observable biological effect. The actual dosage level of the active ingredients in the active compositions of the presently disclosed subject matter may vary to administer an effective amount of the active composition or compound to achieve the desired response for a particular subject and / or application. The selected dosage level will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the activity of the composition, the formulation, the route of administration, combination with other drugs or treatments, the severity of the condition being treated, and the physical condition and previous medical history of the subject being treated. In some embodiments, a minimum dose is administered, and the dose is increased to the minimum effective amount in the absence of dose-limiting toxicity. Determination and adjustment of the effective dose, as well as evaluation of when and how to make such adjustments, are contemplated herein.
[0111] A "therapeutically effective amount" or "therapeutically effective dose" is an amount that produces a desired therapeutic effect in a subject, such as prevention, treatment, delay of onset of a target condition, disorder and / or symptom, and / or alleviation of symptoms associated with the condition. This amount will vary depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the characteristics of the therapeutic compound (including activity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and bioavailability), the physiological state of the subject (including age, sex, disease type and stage, general physical condition, responsiveness to a given dosage, and type of drug), the nature of one or more pharmacologic carriers in the formulation, and / or the route of administration. Those skilled in the clinical and pharmacological arts, given the present disclosure, will be able to determine a therapeutically effective amount by routine experimentation, for example, by monitoring the subject's response to administration of the compound and adjusting the dosage accordingly. For additional guidance, see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st ed., Univ. of Sciences in Philadelphia (USIP), Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, PA, 2005.
[0112] The term "biopharmaceutical" refers to biological products such as proteins (including fusion proteins), vaccines, blood and blood components, allergens, somatic cells, gene therapy components, tissues, and recombinant therapeutic proteins. Biologics may contain carbohydrates, proteins, or nucleic acids, or complex combinations thereof, and may be living entities such as cells and tissues. Biologics can be isolated from a variety of natural sources, such as humans, animals, or microorganisms, and can be produced by a variety of methods, including the use of recombinant DNA.
[0113] As used herein, "pharmacologically acceptable" has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of the present specification and refers to a carrier, excipient, and / or stabilizer that is non-toxic or has an acceptable level of toxicity to cells or mammals exposed thereto at the dosages and concentrations used. "Pharmaceutically acceptable", "diluent", "excipient", and / or "carrier" as used herein has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in the context of the present specification and is intended to include any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial or antifungal agents, isotonic or absorption delaying agents that are compatible with administration to a human, feline, canine, or other vertebrate host.

[0115] As used herein, "carrier" has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in light of this specification and refers to a compound, particle, solid, semi-solid, liquid, or diluent that facilitates the passage, delivery, and / or uptake of a compound into cells, tissues, and / or body organs.
[0116] As used herein, "diluent" has its plain and ordinary meaning as understood in light of the present specification, and refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition that lacks pharmacological activity, but may be pharmacologic necessary or desirable. For example, a diluent can be used to increase the bulk of a potent drug that is too small in mass to manufacture and / or administer. A diluent may also be a liquid for dissolving a drug to be administered by injection, ingestion, or inhalation. A common form of diluent in the art is a buffered aqueous solution, such as, but not limited to, phosphate buffered saline, which mimics the composition of human blood.
[0117] Administered "in combination," as used herein, means delivering two (or more) different compositions to a subject during the course of the subject's illness, e.g., delivering two or more compositions after the subject has been diagnosed or selected as having a disorder, but before the disorder is cured or eliminated. In some embodiments, the subject is selected to receive any one or more of the compositions described herein by diagnostic analysis or clinical evaluation, or both. For example, in some embodiments, the subject is screened to determine whether the subject lacks one or more beneficial bacteria or has a reduced amount of the one or more beneficial bacteria before the subject receives any one or more of the compositions described herein. In some embodiments, there is an overlap because the delivery of one therapy is still occurring when the delivery of the second therapy begins. This may be referred to herein as "concurrent" or "simultaneous" or "co-delivery." In other embodiments, the delivery of one therapy ends before the delivery of the other therapy begins. This may be referred to herein as "sequential" or "sequential delivery." In either case, the embodiments, the therapies are more effective due to the combined administration. For example, the second therapy is more effective, e.g., a lower amount of the second therapy is seen to have the same effect, or the second therapy reduces symptoms to a greater extent than would be seen if the second therapy were administered in the absence of the first therapy, or a similar situation would be seen with the first therapy. In some embodiments, the delivery is such that the reduction in symptoms or other parameters of the disorder is greater than would be observed if one therapy were delivered in the absence of the other. The effects of the two therapies may be partially additive, fully additive, or greater than additive (e.g., synergistic). The delivery may be such that the effect of the first therapy delivered is still detectable when the second therapy is delivered.
[0118] "Tumor," as used herein, refers to all neoplastic cell growth and proliferation, whether malignant or benign, and all precancerous and cancerous cells and tissues. The terms "cancer," "cancerous," "cell proliferative disorder," "proliferative disorder," and "tumor" are not mutually exclusive as referred to herein. The term "neoplasm" encompasses the term tumor.
[0119] The terms "cancer" and "cancerous" refer to or describe the physiological condition in mammals that is typically characterized by unregulated cell growth. Examples of cancer include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia or lymphoid malignancies. More specific examples of such cancers include squamous cell carcinoma (e.g., epithelial squamous cell carcinoma), lung cancer including small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma of the lung and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, cancer of the peritoneum, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastric or stomach cancer including gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, cancer of the urinary tract, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial or uterine cancer, salivary gland cancer, kidney or renal cancer, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer, thyroid cancer, bone cancer, liver cancer, anal cancer, penile cancer, melanoma, multiple myeloma and B-cell lymphoma, brain and head and neck cancer, and associated metastases. The term cancer includes adult and pediatric solid cancers. In some embodiments, the cancer may be a solid tumor. In some embodiments, the cancer is a highly fibrotic tumor or cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is desmoplastic.
[0120] Non-limiting examples of novel antigen-binding construct sequences and their properties FAP has a molecular weight of 170 kDa and is composed of two 97 kDa glycoprotein subunits (Figure 2 and Figure 55). A non-limiting example of the FAP sequence is shown in Figures 53-54. Based on their amino acid homology, FAP is most similar to DPP4 (Figure 55). The main difference between these two enzymes is that FAP has Ala657, while DPP4 contains Asp663 in their respective active sites.
[0121] Expression of FAP varies among organisms and tissue types. FAP appears to be conserved among chordates, and shows high homology, especially in mammals. FAP is not normally present in normal adult tissues. A soluble, enzymatically active FAP, antiplasmin cleaving enzyme (APCE), circulates in human plasma. FAP is expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts in tumor tissues and wound healing, and in synovial cells in rheumatoid arthritis. FAP expression is weak in cervical and uterine stroma, but expression reaches its highest level during the proliferation phase. FAP is also present in multipotent bone marrow stromal cells (BM-MSCs) in both mice and humans. FAP has also been detected in human placenta and, in some cases, in perifollicular dermal fibroblasts. Furthermore, FAP expression can be altered under various pathological conditions, including liver cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis, tissue remodeling, tumor formation, and tumor-associated stromal cells.
[0122] Disclosed herein are novel antigen-binding constructs targeting FAP. Non-limiting examples of amino acid sequences of novel antigen-binding constructs are shown in Figures 6-39, 62-84.
