AI Technical Summary
Current therapies targeting protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are difficult to convert into effective therapeutics due to challenges in developing compounds that can selectively induce and modulate these interactions, particularly for diseases like cancer, and existing antibody-drug conjugates face issues with linker stability and payload release.
Development of traceless linkers that connect inducers of protein-protein interactions with cell-binding agents, allowing for targeted protein degradation through cleavable linkers that stabilize the conjugate until internalization and then rapidly release the therapeutic payload.
The described linkers enable selective targeting of previously undruggable proteins, enhancing therapeutic efficacy by ensuring precise delivery and release of the payload within cells, thereby addressing the limitations of existing therapies.

[0002] Reference to an electronically submitted sequence listing The electronically submitted Sequence Listing (Name: 4547_020PC03_Seqlisting_ST26; Size: 52,902 bytes; Created: September 6, 2022) submitted with this application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0003] The present disclosure provides traceless linkers capable of linking inducers of protein-protein interactions to cell-binding agents. Also provided are compositions containing the linked compounds. Such compounds and compositions are useful for treating diseases in subjects in need thereof. [Background technology]
[0004] Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) represent a large class of therapeutic targets both inside and outside the cell. PPIs are central to all biological processes and are often dysregulated in disease. Despite the importance of PPIs in human biology, this target class has been extremely difficult to translate into therapeutic drugs. Thus, there is a continuing need for new compounds that can effectively induce PPIs and treat diseases such as cancer.
[0005] Targeted protein degraders are currently being investigated as a class of molecules that can be used to target and degrade difficult-to-druggable proteins. The most well-known targeted protein degraders utilize proteolysis-directing chimeras (PROTACs), a highly promising emerging field for targeting "undruggable" proteins that lack enzymatic activity and are resistant to classical inhibition. PROTACs are heterobifunctional small molecules that simultaneously bind to a target protein and an E3 ligase, resulting in the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the target. Molecular glues are another type of targeted protein degrader that differs from PROTACs in that they bind to an E3 ligase and alter the surface geometry of the ligase, allowing the ligase to bind to the target protein, resulting in the ubiquitination and degradation of the target. Targeted protein degraders offer exciting opportunities to modulate proteins in a manner independent of enzymatic or signaling activity; however, preparing compounds that distinguish between different cell types can be challenging.
[0006] Antibody-drug conjugates are an innovative therapeutic application that combines the inherent high specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potent activity of small molecule drugs, which are often not suitable for systemic administration. The two entities are tethered via a linker that is typically cleaved at the target site.
[0007] The use of traceless linkers in antibody-drug conjugates allows for the release of therapeutic payloads without evidence of linker attachment. Ideally, the linker should be stable enough to allow the attached molecule to localize to its intended location without premature cleavage. The linker should also be capable of rapid cleavage to release the payload after internalization into the target cell. Known examples of traceless linkers use chemical triggers that require UV light for activation, or have a stability half-life of minutes to hours, or that produce a mixture of less active by-products upon activation.
[0008] Despite ongoing research, there remains a need to selectively target diseased tissues and cells and proteins previously considered "undruggable" with compounds that can induce desirable protein-protein interactions, such as compounds that induce protein degradation. Summary of the Invention

[0135] I. Definition In order that this specification may be more readily understood, certain terms are first defined. Additional definitions are set forth throughout the detailed description.
[0136] It should be noted that the term "a" entity or "an" entity refers to one or more of that entity; for example, "a nucleotide sequence" is understood to represent one or more nucleotide sequences. Accordingly, the terms "a" (or "an"), "one or more," and "at least one" may be used interchangeably herein. It should further be noted that the claims may be drafted to exclude any optional element. Accordingly, this statement is intended to be used as a basis for using limiting language such as "only," "only," and the like in connection with the recitation of claim elements or as a predicate for using "negative" limitations.
[0137] Furthermore, when "and / or" is used herein, it should be construed as a specific disclosure of each of the two specified features or components, with or without the other. Thus, the term "and / or" when used herein in expressions such as "A and / or B" is intended to include "A and B," "A or B," "A" (alone), and "B" (alone). Similarly, the term "and / or" when used in expressions such as "A, B, and / or C" is intended to encompass each of the following aspects: A, B, and C; A, B, or C; A or C; A or B; B or C; A and C; A and B; B and C; A (alone); B (alone); and C (alone).
[0138] Wherever embodiments are described herein using the word "comprising," it is understood that other similar embodiments described with the terms "consisting of" and / or "consisting essentially of" are also provided.
[0139] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. For example, *Concise Dictionary of Biomedicine and Molecular Biology*, Juo, Pei-Show, 2nd ed., 2002, CRC Press; *The Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology*, 3rd ed., 1999, Academic Press; and *Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry And Molecular Biology*, Revised, 2000, Oxford University Press provide those of ordinary skill in the art with a general dictionary of many of the terms used in this disclosure.
[0140] Units, prefixes, and symbols are indicated in the format accepted by the Systeme International de Unites (SI). Numeric ranges are inclusive of the numbers defining the range. When a range of values is described, it is to be understood that each intervening integer and fractional value between the stated upper and lower limits of that range is also specifically disclosed, along with each subrange between such values. The upper and lower limits of any range may independently be included or excluded, and ranges where either limit, neither limit, or both limits are included are also encompassed within the disclosure. Thus, ranges described herein are understood to be shorthand notations for any value within that range, including the recited endpoints.
[0141] Where a value is explicitly recited, it should be understood that values of approximately the same quantity or amount as the recited value are also within the scope of the disclosure. Where a combination is disclosed, each subcombination of the elements of that combination is also specifically disclosed and within the scope of the disclosure. Conversely, where different elements or groups of elements are individually disclosed, combinations thereof are also disclosed. Where any element of the disclosure is disclosed as having multiple alternatives, examples of that disclosure in which each alternative is excluded, alone or in any combination with other alternatives, are also hereby disclosed; multiple elements of the disclosure may have such exclusions, and all combinations of elements with such exclusions are hereby disclosed.
[0142] As used herein, the terms "targeted protein degrader" and "neoDegrader" refer to molecules that form ternary complexes with E3 ubiquitin ligases and can target proteins for degradation. Examples include, but are not limited to, molecular glues and PROTACs. Examples of molecular glues include, but are not limited to, CC-90009, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, DKY709, and compound P1 described in WO2021 / 198965.
[0143] As used herein, the term "antibody" also refers to a full-length immunoglobulin molecule or an immunologically active portion of a full-length immunoglobulin molecule, i.e., a molecule that contains an antigen-binding site that immunospecifically binds to a target antigen of interest or a portion thereof, such targets including, but not limited to, cancer cells or cells that produce autoimmune antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases. The immunoglobulins disclosed herein can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA), class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2), or subclass of immunoglobulin molecule. The immunoglobulin can be derived from any species. However, in one aspect, the immunoglobulin is of human, murine, or rabbit origin.
[0144] The term "single domain antibody", also known as nanobody, refers to an antibody fragment consisting of a single monomeric variable antibody domain with a molecular weight of about 12 kDa to about 15 kDa. Single body antibodies can be based on the heavy chain variable domain or the light chain. Examples of single domain antibodies include V H H fragment and V fragment NAR These include, but are not limited to, fragments.
[0145] An "antibody fragment" comprises a portion of an intact antibody, generally the antigen-binding or variable region thereof. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab'), and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; fragments produced by an Fab expression library; anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies; CDRs (complementarity-determining regions); and epitope-binding fragments of any of the above that immunospecifically bind to a cancer cell antigen, a viral antigen, or a microbial antigen; single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
[0146] An "intact antibody" is one which comprises an antigen-binding variable region and a light chain constant domain (CL) and heavy chain constant domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. The constant domains may be native sequence constant domains (e.g., human native sequence constant domains) or amino acid sequence variants thereof.
[0147] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, i.e., a population in which the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic site. Furthermore, in contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations that include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single determinant on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies are advantageous in that they can be synthesized uncontaminated by other antibodies. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies used in accordance with the present disclosure may be produced by hybridoma or recombinant DNA methods. "Monoclonal antibodies" may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries.
[0148] As used herein, monoclonal antibodies specifically include "chimeric" antibodies in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical to or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical to or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, so long as the desired biological activity is exhibited, as well as fragments of such antibodies. Chimeric antibodies of interest herein include "primatized" antibodies comprising antigen-binding variable domain sequences derived from a non-human primate (e.g., Old World Monkey, Ape, etc.) and human constant region sequences.
[0149] Various methods are used to generate monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Hybridoma technology, which refers to a cloned cell line that produces a single type of antibody, uses cells from various species, including mice (murine), hamsters, rats, and humans. Another method for preparing MAbs uses genetic engineering, such as recombinant DNA technology. Monoclonal antibodies produced by these techniques include chimeric and humanized antibodies, among others. Chimeric antibodies combine DNA coding regions from multiple species. For example, in chimeric antibodies, the variable region may be derived from mice and the constant region from humans. Humanized antibodies are primarily derived from humans, although they contain nonhuman portions. Like chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies may contain fully human constant regions. However, unlike chimeric antibodies, the variable region may be partially derived from humans. The nonhuman synthetic portions of humanized antibodies are often derived from the CDRs of mouse antibodies. In either case, these regions are crucial for enabling the antibody to recognize and bind to a specific antigen. While mouse antibodies are useful for diagnosis and short-term therapy, they cannot be administered to people long-term without increasing the risk of a harmful immunogenic reaction. This reaction, called human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA), occurs when the human immune system recognizes the mouse antibody as foreign and attacks it. The HAMA reaction can lead to toxic shock and even death.
[0150] Chimeric and humanized antibodies reduce the likelihood of a HAMA reaction by minimizing the non-human portion of the administered antibody, and may have the added benefit of activating secondary human immune responses such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
[0151] An intact antibody may have one or more "effector functions," which refer to biological activities attributable to the Fc region of an antibody (a native sequence Fc region or an amino acid sequence variant Fc region). Examples of antibody effector functions include C1q binding, complement-dependent cytotoxicity, Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors; BCR), etc.
[0152] Intact antibodies can be assigned to different "classes" depending on the amino acid sequences of the constant domains of their heavy chains. There are five major classes of intact antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and some of these can be further divided into "subclasses" (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, and IgA2. The heavy-chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of antibodies are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. The structures and three-dimensional configurations of the subunits of the different classes of immunoglobulins are well known.
[0153] The term "about" is used herein to mean approximately, roughly, in the region of, or within the region. When the term "about" is used in conjunction with a numerical range, the term modifies that range by extending the boundaries above and below the stated numerical values. In general, the term "about" can modify a numerical value by varying above and below the stated value, for example, by 10 percent above or below (high or low).
[0154] The terms "administration," "administering," and grammatical variations thereof refer to the introduction of a composition, such as an EV (e.g., exosome) of the present disclosure, into a subject via a pharmaceutically acceptable route. Introduction of a composition, such as an EV (e.g., exosome) of the present disclosure, into a subject may be by any suitable route, such as intratumoral, oral, pulmonary, intranasal, parenteral (intravenous, intraarterial, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous), rectal, intralymphatic, intrathecal, periocular, or topical. Administration includes self-administration and administration by another. A suitable route of administration enables the composition or agent to perform its intended function. For example, if the suitable route is intravenous, the composition is administered by introducing the composition or agent into the subject's vein.
[0155] As used herein, the term "antibody" includes immunoglobulins (whether natural or partially or wholly synthetically produced) and fragments thereof. The term also encompasses any protein having a binding domain homologous to an immunoglobulin binding domain. "Antibody" further includes polypeptides comprising a framework region from an immunoglobulin gene or fragments thereof that specifically bind and recognize an antigen. The use of the term antibody is intended to encompass whole, polyclonal, monoclonal, and recombinant antibodies, fragments thereof, as well as single-chain antibodies, humanized antibodies, murine antibodies, mouse-human, mouse-primate, and primate-human chimeric monoclonal antibodies, anti-idiotypic antibodies, antibody fragments such as scFv, (scFv)2, Fab, Fab', and F(ab')2, F(ab1)2, Fv, dAb, and Fd fragments, diabodies, and antibody-related polypeptides. Antibodies also include bispecific and multispecific antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity or function. In some aspects of the present disclosure, the biologically active molecule is an antibody or a molecule comprising an antigen-binding fragment thereof.
[0156] The terms "antibody drug conjugate" and "ADC" are used interchangeably and refer to an antibody linked, e.g., covalently, to a therapeutic agent (which may be referred to herein as a drug, agent, or active pharmaceutical ingredient) or agent. In some aspects of the present disclosure, the biologically active molecule is an antibody drug conjugate.
[0157] As used herein, the term "approximately" when applied to one or more values of interest refers to a value similar to the stated reference value. In certain embodiments, unless otherwise stated or otherwise clear from the context, the term "approximately" refers to a range of values that is 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or less in either direction (above or below) from the stated reference value (except where such number exceeds 100% of possible values).
[0158] A "conservative amino acid substitution" is a substitution in which the amino acid residue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar side chain. Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains have been defined in the art and include basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Thus, if an amino acid in a polypeptide is replaced with another amino acid from the same side chain family, the substitution is considered conservative. In another embodiment, a series of amino acids can be conservatively replaced with a series of structurally similar side chain family members that differ in order and / or composition.
[0159] As used herein, the term "conserved" refers to nucleotide or amino acid residues of a given polynucleotide or polypeptide sequence, respectively, that occur unchanged in the same position in two or more sequences being compared. A relatively conserved nucleotide or amino acid is one that is more conserved between related sequences than a nucleotide or amino acid that appears elsewhere in the sequence.
[0160] In some embodiments, two or more sequences are said to be "completely conserved" or "identical" if they are 100% identical to each other. In some embodiments, two or more sequences are said to be "highly conserved" if they are at least about 70% identical, at least about 80% identical, at least about 90% identical, or at least about 95% identical to each other. In some embodiments, two or more sequences are said to be "conserved" if they are at least about 30% identical, at least about 40% identical, at least about 50% identical, at least about 60% identical, at least about 70% identical, at least about 80% identical, at least about 90% identical, or at least about 95% identical to each other. Sequence conservation can apply to the entire length of a polynucleotide or polypeptide, or to a portion, region, or feature thereof.
[0161] As used herein, the terms "linking" and "binding" are used interchangeably and refer to the covalent or non-covalent attachment, respectively, of two or more moieties, including one or more compounds that induce protein-protein interactions, to a binding moiety. In some embodiments, the linkage or bond can include a linker.
[0162] The term "amino acid sequence variant" refers to a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that differs to some extent from a native sequence polypeptide. Typically, an amino acid sequence variant will have at least about 70% sequence identity with at least one receptor-binding domain of a native antibody or at least one ligand-binding domain of a native receptor, and will typically have at least about 80%, and more typically at least about 90%, sequence identity with such receptor-binding domain or ligand-binding domain. Amino acid sequence variants have substitutions, deletions, and / or insertions at certain positions within the amino acid sequence of the native amino acid sequence. Amino acids are designated by conventional names, single-letter codes, and three-letter codes.
[0163] "Sequence identity" is defined as the percentage of residues in amino acid sequence variants that are identical after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Methods and computer programs for alignment are well known in the art. One such computer program is "Align 2," created by Genentech, Inc., which was submitted with user documentation to the United States Copyright Office, Washington, DC 20559 on December 10, 1991.
[0164] The term "Fc receptor" or "FcR" is used to refer to a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. An exemplary FcR is a native-sequence human FcR. Additionally, an FcR can be one that binds IgG antibodies (gamma receptors) and includes receptors of the subclasses FcγRI, FcγRII, and FcγRIII, including allelic variants and alternatively spliced forms of these receptors. FcγRII receptors include FcγRIIA (an "activating receptor") and FcγRIIB (an "inhibiting receptor"), which have similar amino acid sequences but differ primarily in their cytoplasmic domains. Activating receptor FcγRIIA contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in its cytoplasmic domain. Inhibiting receptor FcγRIIB contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic domain. Other FcRs, including those yet to be identified, are encompassed by the term "FcR" herein. The term also includes the neonatal receptor FcRn, which is involved in the transport of maternal IgG to the fetus.
[0165] "Complement-dependent cytotoxicity" or "CDC" refers to the ability of a molecule to lyse a target in the presence of complement. The complement activation pathway is initiated by the binding of the first component of the complement system (C1q) to a molecule (e.g., an antibody) complexed with a cognate antigen. To assess complement activation, a CDC assay can be performed.
[0166] "Native antibodies" are typically heterotetrameric glycoproteins of about 150,000 daltons, composed of two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy (H) chains. Each light chain is linked to a heavy chain by one covalent disulfide bond; the number of disulfide bonds varies among the heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bridges. Each heavy chain has a variable domain (VH) at one end followed by several constant domains. Each light chain has a variable domain (VL) at one end and a constant domain at the other end. The constant domain of the light chain is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain, and the light chain variable domain is aligned with the variable domain of the heavy chain. Particular amino acid residues are believed to form an interface between the light-chain variable domain and the heavy-chain variable domain.
[0167] The term "variable" refers to the fact that certain portions of the variable domains vary significantly in sequence among different antibodies and are responsible for the binding and specificity of each particular antibody to its specific antigen. However, variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable domains of antibodies. In both the light-chain and heavy-chain variable domains, it is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions. The more highly conserved portions of the variable domains are called framework regions (FRs). Naturally occurring heavy and light-chain variable domains each contain four FRs that primarily adopt a β-sheet configuration, connected by three hypervariable regions that form loops that connect, and in some cases form part of, the β-sheet structure. The hypervariable regions of each chain are held in close proximity by the FRs and, together with the hypervariable regions of the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antigen-binding site of antibodies. The constant domains are not directly involved in binding an antibody to an antigen but exhibit various effector functions, such as the participation of antibodies in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
[0168] The term "hypervariable region" as used herein refers to the amino acid residues of an antibody that are involved in antigen binding. Hypervariable regions generally include amino acid residues from the "complementarity determining regions" or "CDRs" (e.g., residues 24-34 (L1), 50-56 (L2), and 89-97 (L3) in the light-chain variable domain and residues 31-35 (H1), 50-65 (H2), and 95-102 (H3) in the heavy-chain variable domain; Kabat et al., supra) and / or residues from the "hypervariable loops" (e.g., residues 26-32 (L1), 50-52 (L2), and 91-96 (L3) in the light-chain variable domain and residues 26-32 (H1), 53-55 (H2), and 96-101 (H3) in the heavy-chain variable domain). "Framework region" or "FR" residues are those variable domain residues other than the hypervariable region residues as defined herein.
[0169] Papain digestion of antibodies produces two identical antigen-binding fragments called "Fab" fragments, each with a single antigen-binding site, and a residual "Fc" fragment, so named because of its ability to crystallize readily. Pepsin treatment yields an F(ab')2 fragment that has two antigen-binding sites and is still capable of cross-linking antigen.
[0170] An "Fv" is the minimum antibody fragment which contains a complete antigen-recognition and antigen-binding site. This region consists of a dimer of one heavy- and one light-chain variable domain in tight, non-covalent association. It is in this configuration that the three hypervariable regions of each variable domain interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. Together, the six hypervariable regions confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of an Fv, containing only three antigen-specific hypervariable regions) has the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although with lower affinity than the entire binding site.
[0171] Fab fragments also contain 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 used herein for Fab' in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear at least one free thiol group. F(ab')2 antibody fragments were originally produced as pairs of Fab' fragments with hinge cysteines between them. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.
[0172] The "light chains" of antibodies from any vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, called kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequences of their constant domains.
[0173] "Single-chain Fv" or "scFv" antibody fragments comprise the VH and VL domains of antibody, wherein these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain. The Fv polypeptide may further comprise a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains that enables the scFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding.
[0174] The term "diabody" refers to small antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, which comprise a variable heavy domain (VH) connected to a variable light domain (VL) on the same polypeptide chain (VH-VL). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigen-binding sites.
[0175] "Humanized" forms of non-human (e.g., rodent) antibodies are chimeric antibodies that contain minimal sequence derived from non-human immunoglobulin. Humanization is a method for transferring murine antigen-binding information into non-immunogenic human antibody acceptors, resulting in many therapeutically useful drugs. The humanization process generally begins with the transfer of all six murine complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) onto a human antibody framework. These CDR-grafted antibodies generally do not retain their original affinity for antigen binding; in fact, affinity is often significantly impaired. In addition to the CDRs, select non-human antibody framework residues must also be incorporated to maintain proper CDR conformation. Introduction of key murine framework residues into the human acceptor to support the structural conformation of the CDRs has been shown to restore antigen binding and affinity. For the most part, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (recipient antibody) in which residues from a hypervariable region of the recipient are replaced by residues from a hypervariable region of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit, or non-human primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. In some instances, framework region (FR) residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, humanized antibodies may comprise residues that are not found in the recipient or donor antibody. These modifications are made to improve antibody performance. In general, humanized antibodies will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, with all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops corresponding to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the FRs being those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody also optionally will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin.
[0176] An "isolated" antibody is one that has been identified and separated and / or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are substances that would interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In certain aspects, the antibody is (1) purified to greater than 95% by weight or greater than 99% by weight as determined by the Lowry method, (2) purified sufficiently to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a gas-phase protein sequencer, or (3) purified to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under reducing or non-reducing conditions using Coomassie blue or silver staining. Isolated antibodies include antibodies in situ within recombinant cells, since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated antibodies will be prepared by at least one purification step.
[0177] "Cancer" refers to a broad group of diverse diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Unregulated cell division and growth leads to the formation of malignant tumors that can invade neighboring tissues and metastasize to distant parts of the body via the lymphatic system or bloodstream. As used herein, "cancer" refers to primary, metastatic, and recurrent cancers.
[0178] As used herein, the term "immune response" refers to a biological response in a vertebrate to foreign substances, which protects the organism from these substances and the diseases they cause. Immune responses are mediated by the action of cells of the immune system (e.g., T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, eosinophils, mast cells, dendritic cells, or neutrophils) and soluble macromolecules (including antibodies, cytokines, and complement) produced by either these cells or the liver, which result in the selective targeting, binding to, damaging, destroying, and / or eliminating from the vertebrate body invading pathogens, pathogen-infected cells or tissues, cancerous or other abnormal cells, or, in the case of autoimmunity or pathological inflammation, normal human cells or tissues. Immune responses include, for example, T cells, e.g., effector T cells or Th cells, e.g., CD4 + T cells or CD8 + These include activating or inhibiting T cells, or inhibiting Treg cells. As used herein, the terms "T cell" and "T lymphocyte" are synonymous and refer to any lymphocyte produced or processed by the thymus. In some embodiments, the T cell is a CD4+ T cell. In some embodiments, the T cell is a CD8+ T cell. In some embodiments, the T cell is a NKT cell.
[0179] A "subject" includes any human or non-human animal. The term "non-human animal" includes, but is not limited to, vertebrates such as non-human primates, sheep, dogs, and rodents such as mice, rats, and guinea pigs. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. The terms "subject" and "patient" are used interchangeably herein.
[0180] The term "therapeutically effective amount" or "therapeutically effective dosage" refers to an amount of an agent (e.g., a conjugate disclosed herein) that provides a desired biological, therapeutic, and / or prophylactic result. The result can be a decrease, amelioration, alleviation, reduction, delay, and / or alleviation of one or more of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. With respect to solid tumors, an effective amount includes an amount sufficient to shrink the tumor and / or reduce the rate of tumor growth (such as inhibiting tumor growth) or prevent or delay other undesirable cell proliferation. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to slow tumor growth. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent or delay tumor recurrence. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations. An effective amount of the composition can, for example, (i) reduce the number of cancer cells, (ii) reduce tumor size, (iii) inhibit, delay, slow, or stop to some extent cancer cell invasion into peripheral organs, (iv) inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and stop) tumor metastasis, (v) inhibit tumor growth, (vi) prevent or delay the onset and / or recurrence of tumors, and / or (vii) alleviate to some extent one or more symptoms associated with cancer.
[0181] In some embodiments, a "therapeutically effective amount" is the amount of conjugate clinically proven to affect a significant reduction in cancer or a slowing of progression (regression) of cancer, such as an advanced solid tumor. The ability of a therapeutic agent to promote disease regression can be assessed using a variety of methods known to those of skill in the art, for example, by assessing the activity of the agent in human subjects in clinical trials, in animal model systems predictive of efficacy in humans, or in in vitro assays.
[0182] As used herein, the term "standard of care" refers to a treatment that is accepted by medical professionals as an appropriate treatment for a particular type of disease and that is widely used by medical professionals. This term can be used interchangeably with any of the terms "best medical care," "standard of care," and "standard therapy."
[0183] By way of example, an "anti-cancer drug" promotes regression of cancer or prevents further tumor growth in a subject. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of the drug promotes regression of cancer to the point where the cancer disappears.
[0184] The terms "effective" and "efficacy" in reference to treatment include both pharmacological effectiveness and physiological safety. Pharmacological effectiveness refers to the ability of a drug to promote cancer regression in a patient. Physiological safety refers to the level of toxicity or other adverse physiological effects (adverse effects) at the cellular, organ, and / or organism level resulting from the administration of the drug.

In some embodiments, the binding moiety can include a targeting moiety for a given target cell population that binds to or complexes with a cell surface molecule, such as a cell surface receptor or antigen. After specific binding or complex formation with the receptor, the cell is able to take up the targeting moiety or complex, which is then internalized within the cell.
[0306] In some embodiments, the "Bm" group can be a peptide or protein that binds to a cell surface receptor or antigen.
[0307] In certain embodiments, the "Bm" group can be an antibody, antibody fragment, or antigen-binding fragment. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that can recognize and bind to a specific antigen. A target antigen generally has multiple binding sites, also called epitopes, recognized by CDRs on multiple antibodies. Each antibody that specifically binds to a different epitope has a different structure. Thus, there can be multiple corresponding antibodies for one antigen. The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense herein and specifically encompasses monoclonal antibodies, single-domain antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity. Antibodies can be murine, human, humanized, chimeric, or derived from other species.
[0308] Monoclonal antibodies, which can be conjugated to a compound(s), are homogeneous populations of antibodies directed against a particular antigenic determinant (e.g., cancer cell antigens, viral antigens, microbial antigens, proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, chemicals, nucleic acids, or fragments thereof). Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against an antigen of interest can be prepared by using any technique known in the art that provides for the production of antibody molecules by continuous cell lines in culture. These include, but are not limited to, hybridoma technology, human B-cell hybridoma technology, and EBV hybridoma technology. Such antibodies can be of any immunoglobulin class, including IgG, IgM, IgE, IgA, and IgD, and any subclass thereof. Hybridomas producing mAbs used in the present disclosure can be cultured in vitro or in vivo.
[0309] Useful monoclonal antibodies include, but are not limited to, human monoclonal antibodies, humanized monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, or human-mouse (or other species) chimeric monoclonal antibodies. Human monoclonal antibodies can be made by any of a number of techniques known in the art.
[0310] The antibody may also be a bispecific antibody. Methods for producing bispecific antibodies are known in the art. Traditional production of full-length bispecific antibodies is based on the co-expression of two pairs of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, where the two chains have different specificities. Due to the random combination of immunoglobulin heavy and light chains, these hybridomas (quadromas) may produce a mixture of 10 different antibody molecules, of which only one has the correct bispecific structure. Purification of the correct molecule is usually performed using an affinity chromatography step, which is quite cumbersome and results in low product yields.
[0311] According to a different approach, antibody variable domains with the desired binding specificities (antibody-antigen combining sites) are fused to immunoglobulin constant domain sequences. Fusions can be with immunoglobulin heavy chain constant domains, including at least part of the hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions. The first heavy chain constant region (CH1) can contain the site necessary for light chain binding, present in at least one of the fusions. Nucleic acids encoding the immunoglobulin heavy chain fusions and, if desired, the immunoglobulin light chain, are inserted into separate expression vectors and co-transfected into a suitable host organism. This allows for greater flexibility in adjusting the relative proportions of the three polypeptide fragments relative to one another, in embodiments where optimal yields are achieved by using unequal ratios of the three polypeptide chains in the construction. However, if expression of equal ratios of at least two polypeptide chains results in high yields, or if the ratio is not particularly important, it is possible to insert the coding sequences for two or all three polypeptide chains into a single expression vector.
[0312] Bispecific antibodies can have a hybrid immunoglobulin heavy chain with a first binding specificity in one arm and a hybrid immunoglobulin heavy chain-light chain pair (providing a second binding specificity) in the other arm. This asymmetric structure facilitates separation of the desired bispecific compound from undesired immunoglobulin chain combinations, as the presence of an immunoglobulin light chain in only one half of the bispecific molecule facilitates this separation mode. Such techniques can be used to prepare bispecific antibodies for binding to compounds that induce protein-protein interactions in the treatment or prevention of diseases as defined herein.
[0313] Hybrid or bifunctional antibodies can be derived biologically, i.e., by cell fusion techniques, or chemically, particularly using cross-linking or disulfide bridge-forming reagents, and can include whole antibodies or fragments thereof.
[0314] The antibody can be a functionally active fragment, derivative, or analog of an antibody that immunospecifically binds to a cancer cell antigen, a viral antigen, or a microbial antigen, or to another antibody bound to a tumor cell or matrix. In this context, "functionally active" means that the fragment, derivative, or analog is capable of eliciting anti-anti-idiotypic antibodies that recognize the same antigen as that recognized by the antibody from which the fragment, derivative, or analog is derived. Specifically, in exemplary embodiments, the idiotypic antigenicity of an immunoglobulin molecule can be enhanced by deletion of framework and CDR sequences C-terminal to the CDR sequences that specifically recognize the antigen. To determine which CDR sequences bind to an antigen, synthetic peptides containing the CDR sequences can be used in binding assays with the antigen using any binding assay method known in the art.
[0315] Other useful antibodies include, but are not limited to, antibody fragments such as F(ab')2 fragments containing the variable region, light chain constant region, and heavy chain CH1 domain, which can be produced by pepsin digestion of an antibody molecule, and Fab fragments, which can be produced by reducing the disulfide bridges of F(ab')2 fragments. Other useful antibodies are dimers of antibody heavy and light chains, or any minimal fragments thereof, such as Fv or single-chain antibodies (SCAs), or any other molecules having the same specificity as an antibody.
[0316] Additionally, recombinant antibodies containing both human and non-human portions, such as chimeric and humanized monoclonal antibodies, which can be produced using standard recombinant DNA techniques, are useful antibodies. Chimeric antibodies are molecules in which different portions are derived from different animal species, such as those having a variable region derived from a murine monoclonal and a human immunoglobulin constant region. Humanized antibodies are antibody molecules from non-human species that have one or more complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) from the non-human species and a framework region from a human immunoglobulin molecule. Such chimeric and humanized monoclonal antibodies can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques known in the art.
[0317] Fully human antibodies can be produced using transgenic mice that are incapable of expressing endogenous immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes but that can express human heavy and light chain genes. The transgenic mice are immunized in the usual manner with a selected antigen, e.g., all or a portion of a polypeptide of the present disclosure. Monoclonal antibodies directed against the antigen can be obtained using conventional hybridoma technology. The human immunoglobulin transgenes harbored by the transgenic mice rearrange during B cell differentiation and subsequently undergo class switching and somatic mutation. Thus, such technology can be used to produce therapeutically useful IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgE antibodies. For an overview of this technology for producing human antibodies, see Lonberg and Huszar (1995, Int. Rev. Immunol. 13:65-93). Other human antibodies are commercially available, for example, from Abgenix, Inc. (Freemont, Calif.) and Genpharm (San Jose, Calif.).
[0318] Fully human antibodies that recognize a selected epitope can be generated using a technique called "guided selection." In this approach, a selected non-human monoclonal antibody, e.g., a murine antibody, is used to guide the selection of a fully human antibody that recognizes the same epitope. Human antibodies can also be generated using various techniques known in the art, such as phage display libraries.
[0319] The antibody may be a fusion protein of an antibody, or a functionally active fragment thereof, e.g., an antibody fused via a covalent bond (e.g., a peptide bond) at either the N- or C-terminus to the amino acid sequence (or a portion thereof, e.g., at least a 10, 20, or 50 amino acid portion of the protein) of another protein that is not an antibody. The antibody or fragment thereof may be covalently linked to the other protein at the N-terminus of the constant domain.
[0320] Antibodies include analogs and derivatives, all of which have been modified, i.e., by the covalent attachment of any type of molecule, provided that such covalent attachment allows the antibody to retain its antigen-binding immunospecificity. For example, without limitation, antibody derivatives and analogs include those that have been further modified, e.g., by glycosylation, acetylation, pegylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization with known protecting / blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, conjugation to cellular antibody units or other proteins, etc. Any of a number of chemical modifications can be performed by known techniques, including, but not limited to, specific chemical cleavage, acetylation, formylation, metabolic synthesis in the presence of tunicamycin, etc. Additionally, analogs or derivatives can contain one or more unnatural amino acids.
[0321] The antibodies of the complexes can include antibodies with modifications (e.g., substitutions, deletions, or additions) in amino acid residues that interact with Fc receptors. In particular, the antibodies include antibodies with modifications in amino acid residues identified as being involved in the interaction between the anti-Fc domain and the FcRn receptor. Antibodies immunospecific for cancer cell antigens can be obtained commercially, for example, from Genentech (San Francisco, Calif.), or can be produced by any method known to those of skill in the art, for example, by chemical synthesis or recombinant expression techniques. Nucleotide sequences encoding antibodies immunospecific for cancer cell antigens can be obtained, for example, from the GenBank database or a database like it, literature publications, or by routine cloning and sequencing.

[0330] In some embodiments, the binding moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that comprises six CDRs of an antibody of Table A (i.e., three CDRs from the variable heavy chain or heavy chain and three CDRs from the variable light chain or light chain of the same antibody).
[0331] The term "Kabat numbering" and similar terms are recognized in the art and refer to a numbering system for amino acid residues in the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, CDRs can be determined according to the Kabat numbering system (see, e.g., Kabat EA & Wu TT (1971) Ann NY Acad Sci 190:382-391 and Kabat EA et al., (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, USDapartment of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No. 91-3242). Using the Kabat numbering system, the CDRs within an antibody heavy chain molecule are typically located at amino acids 31-35 (optionally including one or two additional amino acids after 35, designated 35A and 35B in the Kabat numbering scheme) (CDR1), 50-65 (CDR2), and 95-102 (CDR3). Using the Kabat numbering system, the CDRs within an antibody light chain molecule are typically located at amino acids 24-34 (CDR1), 50-56 (CDR2), and 89-97 (CDR3). In some embodiments, the binding moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof comprising six Kabat-defined CDRs (i.e., three Kabat-defined CDRs for the variable heavy chain or heavy chain and three Kabat-defined CDRs for the variable light chain or light chain of the same antibody) of an antibody of Table A.
[0332] The CDRs of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can be determined according to the Chothia numbering scheme, which refers to the position of the loops in the immunoglobulin structure (see, e.g., Chothia C & Lesk AM, (1987), J Mol Biol 196:901-917; Al-Lazikani B et al., (1997) J Mol Biol 273:927-948; Chothia C et al., (1992) J Mol Biol 227:799-817; Tramontano A et al., (1990) J Mol Biol 215(1):175-82; and U.S. Patent No. 7,709,226). Typically, using the Kabat numbering system, the Chothia CDR-H1 loop is located at heavy chain amino acids 26 through 32, 33, or 34; the Chothia CDR-H2 loop is located at heavy chain amino acids 52-56; the Chothia CDR-H3 loop is located at heavy chain amino acids 95-102; the Chothia CDR-L1 loop is located at light chain amino acids 24-34; the Chothia CDR-L2 loop is located at light chain amino acids 50-56; and the Chothia CDR-L3 loop is located at light chain amino acids 89-97. When numbered using Kabat numbering, the ends of the Chothia CDR-H1 loop vary from H32 to H34 depending on the length of the loop (this is because the Kabat numbering scheme places insertions at H35A and H35B; if neither 35A nor 35B are present, the loop ends at 32; if only 35A is present, the loop ends at 33; and if both 35A and 35B are present, the loop ends at 34).
[0333] In some embodiments, the binding moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that comprises six CDRs according to the Chothia definition of an antibody of Table A (i.e., three CDRs according to the Chothia definition of the variable heavy or heavy chain and three CDRs according to the Chothia definition of the variable light or light chain of the same antibody). In some embodiments, the binding moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that comprises one or more CDRs where the Chothia and Kabat CDRs are identical in amino acid sequence. In some embodiments, the binding moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that comprises a combination of Kabat and Chothia CDRs of an antibody of Table A.
[0334] In some embodiments, the CDRs of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may be determined according to the IMGT numbering system described in Lefranc MP, (1999) The Immunologist 7:132-136 and Lefranc MP et al., (1999) Nucleic Acids Res 27:209-212. According to the IMGT numbering scheme, VH-CDR1 is located at positions 26-35, VH-CDR2 is located at positions 51-57, VH-CDR3 is located at positions 93-102, VL-CDR1 is located at positions 27-32, VL-CDR2 is located at positions 50-52, and VL-CDR3 is located at positions 89-97. In some embodiments, the binding moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof, comprising six CDRs according to the IMGT definition of an antibody of Table A (i.e., three CDRs according to the IMGT definition of the variable heavy chain or heavy chain and three CDRs according to the IMGT definition of the variable light chain or light chain of the same antibody), e.g., as described in Lefranc MP (1999) (supra) and Lefranc MP et al., (1999) (supra)).
[0335] In some embodiments, the CDRs of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof can be determined according to MacCallum RM et al., (1996) J Mol Biol 262:732-745. See also, e.g., Martin A. "Protein Sequence and Structure Analysis of Antibody Variable Domains," in Antibody Engineering, Kontermann and Dubel, eds., Chapter 31, pp. 422-439, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (2001). In some embodiments, the binding portion is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that comprises six MacCallum CDRs (i.e., three MacCallum CDRs of the variable heavy chain or heavy chain and three MacCallum CDRs of the variable light chain or light chain of the same antibody), as determined, e.g., by the method of MacCallum RM et al.
[0336] In some embodiments, the CDRs of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may be determined according to the AbM numbering scheme, which refers to AbM hypervariable regions that are a compromise between the Kabat CDRs and Chothia structural loops, and is used by Oxford Molecular's AbM antibody modeling software (Oxford Molecular Group, Inc.). In some embodiments, the binding moiety is an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that comprises six AbM-defined CDRs of an antibody of Table A (i.e., three AbM-defined CDRs of the variable heavy chain or heavy chain and three AbM-defined CDRs of the variable light chain or light chain of the same antibody) as determined by the AbM numbering scheme.
