[0255] 11. Working Example 11.1. Example 1: Identification of BSBM3 BCMA is expressed in plasma cells as well as other B-cell malignancies, particularly multiple myeloma. For effective drug development, nonclinical pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies are required. To achieve this, human antigens as well as corresponding antigens in model non-human primate species (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys) are It is highly desirable to have antibodies that are cross-reactive with both antigens.
[0256] To identify antibodies that are cross-reactive with both human and cynomolgus BCMA, human A naive phage library containing antibody fragments was then cloned into recombinant human and cynomolgus monkeys. Approximately 400 single phage colonies were subjected to four rounds of panning against the BCMA antigen. Nine unique clones were taken from the fourth panning and used as phage clones for phage ELISA. Clones were selected for amplification and rescue as a hybridization vector. Their affinity for BCMA was analyzed.
[0257] One of the clones was subjected to affinity maturation in the form of an enzyme surface scFv. After screening, the affinity-matured anti-BCMA pool is purified to a heterodimeric bispecific antibody format (Figure 1). The gene was cloned into HEK 293 cells and expressed in Jurkat NFAT cells. on tumor cells in a target-dependent manner using the JNL reporter assay The ability to bind to BCMA and activate T cells was tested.
[0258] From these assays, a bispecific binding molecule, designated herein as BSBM3, was identified. The sequence of BSBM3 is shown in Table 1 below.
[0259] [Table 1]
[0260] [Table 2]
[0261] [Table 3]
[0262] [Table 4]
[0263] The activity of BSBM3 was compared with that of a BCMA-CD3 bispecific antibody being developed for the treatment of multiple myeloma. The activity of the antibody was compared with that of the antibody ch2B4_C29 (International Publication No. WO 2016 / 016662 (See Brochure No. 9.) Bivalent BS from KMS11 and PBMC / T cell co-culture studies. Preliminary data for BM3 and h2B4_C29 show that bivalent BSBM3 is 29 (data not shown), which mediates cytokine induction at lower levels. showed that patients treated with BSBM3 had a significantly increased risk of cytotoxicity compared with patients treated with h2B4_C29. Preliminary data suggest that K may have a reduced risk of steroid release syndrome. T cells activated by h2B4_C29 in the presence of MS11 cells expressed bivalent BSBM We also demonstrated that 3 mediates TCR downregulation in more T cells activated by 3 (data not shown). (not shown), which suggests that BSBM3 may exhibit more sustained anti-cancer activity than h2B4_C29. Furthermore, some preliminary results were obtained in the KMS11 xenograft model. Data show that BSBM3 (as well as h2B4_C29) is The results suggest that the compound has greater antitumor activity than the BCMA-CD3 bispecific molecule manufactured by NIH. is doing.
[0264] 11.2. Example 2: Characteristics of BSBM3 BSBM3 was produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and expressed as an IgG1 antibody. As shown in Figure 1, BSBM3 targets BCMA. It has a Fab domain that targets CD3, a single-chain Fv (scFv) domain that targets F The c domain provides IgG-like in vivo retention with unmodified FcRn (neonatal Fc receptor) affinity. The Fc domain of BSBM3 abolishes binding to human Fcγ receptors and inhibits Fc It contains substitutions that reduce the risk of non-selective T cell activation by Fc receptor (Fc receptor)-mediated cross-linking. The affinity of BCMA and its affinity for CD3 are summarized in Table 2. BCMA in MM cells and CD3 in the T cell receptor (TCR) complex in T cells Binding of multiple molecules of BSBM3 simultaneously to the subunits mediates TCR cross-linking and cytolytic immunity. It results in the formation of synapses, activation of T cells and specific lysis of MM cells.
[0265] [Table 5]
[0266] 11.3. Example 3: Non-clinical Pharmacology (In Vitro) The activity of BSBM3 was assessed using the BCMA+ myeloma cell line KMS11 and healthy donor T cells. BSBM3 was characterized in an in vitro co-culture system at concentrations of ≥1 nM. Consistently, BSBM3 induced T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion in a concentration-dependent manner (Fig. 2). potent redirected T cell cytotoxicity (RTCC) in KMS11 in a sustainable manner. In contrast, the non-targeting control antibody NT-CD3 (same anti-CD3 scFv BCMA Fab but with a non-targeting Fab instead of the anti-BCMA Fab) inhibits T cell proliferation or did not induce significant death of KMS11 cells, suggesting that BCMA-specific These data indicate that specific binding is required for T cell activation and cytotoxicity. BSBM3 can potently and specifically activate T cells in the presence of BCMA+ cells, targeting This suggests that it results in specific cell death.
[0267] To identify an in vitro assay with the most sensitive readout of BSBM3 activity, To do this, EC30 values were calculated from the various assays, each with nine biological replicates. (T cells from three healthy donors were used in three independent experiments. Redirected T cells were used to detect specific lysis of MM cells (Figure 3). The RTCC assay provides the most sensitive and reproducible EC30 values. Therefore, the minimum predicted biological effect level (MABE) was used to inform the starting dose. L) was calculated based on the EC30 values from the RTCC assay.
[0268] BCMA undergoes protease cleavage within its transmembrane domain by γ-secretase. It has been shown that β-lactamase acts as a decoy to neutralize its ligand, APRIL. Shedding of its extracellular domain as a soluble factor (henceforth referred to as soluble BCMA) (Laurent 2015). The mean blood concentration of soluble BCMA is 39 ng / mL in subjects with smoldering myeloma, 89 ng / mL in subjects with smoldering myeloma, and It has been reported to be 506 ng / mL in diagnosed MM subjects (Gherm ezi et al.,2017,Haematologica.102(4):785 Soluble BCMA in the blood and bone marrow of a subject binds to BSBM3 and binds to BSBM As expected, the activity of 30, 100, or 300 ng / mL In the presence of soluble BCMA, the EC30 for BSBM3 was 6, 15, and 16, respectively. 41-fold increase (Figure 4). 93% of subjects with active and untreated MM had their serum Because they have shed BCMA greater than 107.6 ng / mL (Ghermezi et al. al., 2017, Haematologica 102(4):785-795), RTCC assays containing 100ng / mL soluble BCMA were used to assess the BSBM3 Therefore, 0.753 ng / mL (100 ng / mL) is likely to be a better representation of the activity of Calculate the starting dose using the MABEL method to determine the EC30 of soluble BCMA (mL). This was taken into consideration when developing CD3-directed bispecific antibodies. al.,2017,Regul Toxicol Pharmacol;90:144 This is consistent with the approach described by W.-152.
[0269] 11.4. Example 4: Non-clinical Pharmacology (In Vivo) The in vivo activity of BSBM3 was determined by adoptive transfer in human PBMCs from healthy donors. This was evaluated using a KMS11 xenograft model in immunodeficient NSG mice (Figure 5). KMS11 cells were engineered to overexpress luciferase, which then Allows tumor burden measurement by bioluminescence intensity (BLI). Doses ≥ 0.3 mg / kg Mice treated with BSBM3 were cultured separately with PBMCs from two different healthy donors. Three independent experiments using this demonstrated robust tumor rejection (data).
[0270] Adoptive transfer model using KMS11 xenografts supports the mechanism of action of BSBM3 However, the activation markers were significantly higher compared to T cells in donor PBMCs at the time of isolation. Adoptively transferred human T cells are highly active as shown by dramatically elevated expression of Car Therefore, it is likely to overpredict anti-MM activity (data shown; Ali et al. al., 2012, PLoS ONE;7(8):e44219). Therefore, this Administration of BSBM3 demonstrated anti-MM activity in models is not directly translatable to subjects .
[0271] 11.5. Example 5: Nonclinical Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism To investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BSBM3 in unbound mice, an NSG mouse PK assay was performed. Experiments were performed with and without human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The antibody showed a biphasic pattern of blood concentrations as expected for a monoclonal antibody in a non-binding species. In NSG mice humanized with human PBMCs, AUCla Exposure, as measured by st, was lower than in PBMC-naive mice. Non-linear elimination was evident, indicating the expected target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD).
[0272] BSBM3 binds to both targets (BCMA and CD3) in cynomolgus monkeys. Therefore, the toxicokinetic profile of BSBM3 was evaluated in a single-dose non-GLP toxicology study (data The toxicity was investigated in a 4-week GLP toxicology study (data not shown) and a 4-week GLP toxicology study (data not shown). A single-dose study showed that exposure to BSBM3, as measured by AUClast, was 0.3, A dose-proportional increase was observed across the doses tested of 1 and 3 mg / kg. Of the five animals administered, one animal (at a dose of 0.3 mg / kg) developed anti-drug antibodies (ADA). ) was confirmed.
[0273] In a 4-week cynomolgus monkey GLP toxicology study, animals were dosed at 1, 3, and 10 mg / kg The mice were given five weekly intravenous (iv) infusions of 1000 mg of BSBM3. ) After injection, the maximum exposure to BSBM3 was 0.667 p.i., the first time point after administration. The observed Cmax was ~4.17 hours, as measured by Cmax and AUC0-τ (τ = 7 days). Exposure to BSBM3 during treatment was approximately dose-proportional over the dose range of 1 to 10 mg / kg. Accumulation was increased and similar in both sexes. After 4 weeks of administration, the AUC0-τ was approximately 1.5 to 1.9 times higher (based on AUC0-τ). ADA was detected on day 28 in the main part of the study (1 out of 24 animals). 1 treated animal, 1 mg / kg dose). During the 6-week recovery portion of the study, ADA was detected in 57 Day 71 (1 of 6 treated animals, 3 mg / kg dose) and Day 72 (2 of 6 treated animals, The data suggest that there may be no significant effect of ADA on TK. ADA was not detected in control animals.
[0274] 11.6. Example 6: Nonclinical Toxicology The safety of BSBM3 was investigated in in vitro and in vivo studies. , performed in cynomolgus monkeys, which were identified as a pharmacologically relevant species for BSBM3. It was.
[0275] The results of safety pharmacology studies have demonstrated that the central nervous system (CNS), respiratory, and cardiovascular functions In general, findings from in vivo studies suggest a low risk of BSBM3. BSBM3-associated predicted pharmacology, B cell and plasma cell depletion and selection in peripheral blood, bone marrow and tissues Rapid increase and more sustained blood and tissue T cell proliferation after administration of selected serum cytokines The results were consistent with activation of the gastrointestinal-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), lymph nodes, and spleen (B cells). Lymphocyte depletion in the basal cell region (alveolar region) was observed at all BSBM3 dose levels in GLP studies. During the recovery phase, lymphoid hyperplasia in these organs was consistent with the regenerative process. Furthermore, mixed cell immunoinflammatory lesions were observed in various organs (i.e., gastrointestinal tract (GIT), liver, , spleen, heart, kidneys, and lungs) and in some cases were associated with infectious agents.
[0276] The highest non-serious toxicity dose (HNSTD) in GLP studies is 1 mg / kg It was identified as g.

[0283] All doses prescribed and administered to subjects and all dose changes during the study will be recorded in the Dosage Recorded on the Administration Record eCRF.
[0284] [Table 6]
[0285] Investigation of alternative doses and / or dosing regimens of BSBM3 will be conducted after the initiation of the expansion part of the RD. Even if the subjects are enrolled simultaneously, they may be examined in increments. Cohort allocation will stagger across all study sites.
[0286] 11.7.4. Treatment process BSBM3 will initially be administered once weekly (Q1W). Study drug treatment will be administered according to the IMWG. Therefore, treatment will continue until the subject develops unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease, or the study is discontinued. The study design is summarized in Figure 6. Preliminary results from this ongoing study suggest that a dosing schedule (e.g., Q2W, Q3W, TIW) may be beneficial. Implemented in trials if supported by new data including K, PD, and efficacy findings Clinically significant cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or related symptoms may occur during dose escalation. If observed during the administration schedule, the option of a priming dose may be introduced. The rule can be adjusted.
[0287] The design of this phase I, open-label study included patients who had been treated with at least two prior regimens. and receive IMiDs, proteasome inhibitors, and anti-CD38 antibodies (if available). Safety and efficacy of BSBM3 in subjects with relapsed and / or refractory multiple myeloma To characterize the efficacy and tolerability of the drug and to determine recommended doses and regimens for future studies. If necessary, dose escalation will be performed to allow the MTD of BSBM3 to be established. It is based on a Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression model (BLRM).
[0288] BLRM is a well-established method for estimating MTD in cancer subjects. Reactive BLRM is designed to control the risk of DLT in future subjects being studied. Guided by titration using dose control (EWOC) principles. For small data sets The use of Bayesian response adaptation models is recognised by the EMEA ("Guideline e on clinical trials in small population s”, February 1, 2007), and many publications (Babb et al., 1 998,Stat Med;17(10):1103-20);(Neuenschwa nder et al.,2008,Stat Med;27(13):2420-39 );(Neuenschwander et al.,2010,Clin Trial s;7(1):5-18);(Neuenschwander et al.,2014 ,in A Bayesian Industry Approach to Phas e I Combination Trials in Oncology.In St aistical Methods in Drug Combination St udies.Zhao W and Yang H(eds),Chapman&Hal FDA approved the use of steroids in the treatment of steroids (Illegible / Cold Ribs, 2014), and its development and appropriate use are being monitored by the FDA. FDA's Critical Path Initiative This is one aspect of the 'titiative'.
[0289] The decision regarding the new dose level will be based on PK, PD, and preliminary activity data available at the time of the decision. information, along with subject tolerability and safety information (including BLRM-derived estimates of DLT risk) This will be done at the dose escalation meeting based on the review of the
[0290] Dose Escalation During dose escalation, subjects with relapsed and / or refractory MM will continue treatment until the MTD / RD is reached. An estimated 21 subjects will be treated with BSB3 at dose ≥ 100 mg / kg to define the MTD / RD. This is required during escalation.
[0291] The safety (including dose-DLT relationships) and tolerability of the study treatment will be evaluated, and the regimen and Doses will be identified for use in the expansion part based on a review of these data. RD is also guided by available information on PK, PD, and preliminary antitumor activity. Dose escalation was performed according to the Excessive Weighted Overdose Control (EWOC) principle using an adaptive Bayesian hierarchical method. It is derived by a logistic regression model (BLRM).
[0292] Once the MTD / RD is determined in the titration part, the PK, PD, and safety of the study drug will be assessed. To further characterize the profile and evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of BSBM3 In order to do so, more subjects will be enrolled in the expanded part. More than one dose level may be investigated as an RD for expansion. The schedule may be examined in the escalation phase. A new schedule RD may be assigned. do.
[0293] In the expansion part, subjects with relapsed and / or refractory MM are treated with BSBM3. The expansion part will enroll approximately 20 subjects. Enrollment will be based on data from the expansion cohort. may be terminated earlier based on ongoing review of the
[0294] 11.7.5.1. Interim Administration The dose of BSBM3 was determined based on predicted pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, and in vitro efficacy (MABEL dose). Circulating BCMA in cynomolgus monkey GLP toxicology studies (to inform clinical trials) The results are based on an integrated evaluation of the effects and in vivo safety of BSBM3 for subjects. The starting dose is 3 mcg / kg administered as a 2-hour intravenous infusion.
[0295] The BSBM3 starting doses and dose levels that may be evaluated during this study are listed in Table 4. This starting dose is based on the RTCC, which is considered the most clinically relevant measure of pharmacological activity. The EC50 value from the assay (in which recombinant soluble BCMA was not added) was approximately 0.07 μg / mL) and is the most sensitive and reproducible in vitro study for BSBM3 This is a reliable assay readout (data not shown).
[0296] Actual dose levels will be determined based on available toxicity, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data. Dose escalation will be guided by the BLRM. Dose escalation will continue until one or more MTDs or RDs are determined. Continue.
[0297] [Table 7]
[0298] Optionally, during dose escalation, two patients experienced a grade ≥3 infusion-related reaction (IRR). Events or cytokine release that does not return to grade ≤1 or baseline within 48 hours If CRS occurs, a priming dose is used.
[0299] The priming dose is selected at a dose level determined to be safe (the dose is At least less than the maximum volume tested in the previous cohort and meeting the EWOC criteria Additionally, as an added safety measure, the priming dose One-third of the dose is given on day 1 and two-thirds of the dose is given on day 2. Once the target dose level is determined, the dose levels that may be evaluated in subsequent cohorts will be determined based on the target dose level. The priming dose is defined as 100 mg / kg of 1000 mg ... 00 mcg / kg (i.e., dose level X in Table 5), on Day 1 The dose on day 1 was 33.33 mcg / kg, and the dose on day 2 was 66.66 mcg / kg. The third and subsequent injections (days 8, 15, and 22) were administered at 200 mcg / kg (i.e., Dose level X+1, where X+1 is the next interim dose level after X listed in Table 3 The actual dose level will be determined based on the available toxicity, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data. A separate BHLRM will be constructed to guide dose escalation using EWOC criteria. Dose escalation will continue until one or more MTDs or RDs are determined.
[0300] [Table 8]
[0301] Priming dose levels will be adjusted, if necessary, according to developmental study safety and tolerability findings. It can be responded to.
[0302] Guidelines for Dose Escalation and Determination of MTD / RD Dose escalation will be performed to establish the dose of BSBM3 to be used in the expansion part. Specifically, it considers safety, tolerability, and PK, taking into account the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The most relevant benefit as assessed by any available efficacy and PD considerations. To-one or more doses considered to be at risk.
[0303] The MTD was met by dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the DLT evaluation period in more than 33% of treated subjects. The highest dose estimated to have less than a 25% risk of causing vasoconstriction (T). The dose selected for administration can be any dose up to the MTD, and can be used without specifying the MTD. It can be shown.
[0304] Each dose escalation cohort will start with 1 to 6 newly treated subjects. Must have sufficient exposure and follow-up to be considered evaluable for escalation decisions. stomach.
[0305] If a subject experiences a DLT during the DLT evaluation period, the minimum cohort size will be increased to 3. can be.
[0306] If one or more subjects discontinue or fail to meet the evaluation criteria, a replacement procedure will be implemented. Further subjects will be enrolled in the same cohort to support the benefit-risk assessment. It can be used to
[0307] The treatment period begins on Day 1 of Cycle 1. For scheduling and evaluation purposes, A treatment cycle consists of 28 days. The dose levels on Day 1 of Cycle 1 were determined based on those previously tested and For each cohort higher than any dose shown to be safe, A time-staggered procedure for two subjects is used. After the first subject's dose, the next subject receives the same dose as the previous one. The first two subjects will be dosed a minimum of 72 hours after the first two subjects have been dosed. After completion, subsequent subjects will be treated without a staggered time period, provided that no more than one patient in the cohort , with the first infusion on any given day. Dose escalation determinations are made until all subjects in a cohort receive D The decision is made when the LT evaluation period is completed or discontinued. The decision is based on safety information, available All data being evaluated in ongoing studies, including clear PK, available PD and preliminary efficacy The study will be based on a synthesis of all relevant data available from the dose levels.
[0308] All dose escalation decisions were made using a Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression model (BLRM). Do not exceed a dose level that satisfies the EWOC principle. For any dose level, the following escalation Doses for cohorts will not exceed a 100% increase from the previously tested safe dose. A smaller increase in dose may be recommended by the investigator and the clinical trial after review of all available clinical data. May be recommended by the client.
[0309] The safety, tolerability, PK, PD or other endpoints of BSBM3 will be evaluated before or during further escalation. To better understand the antitumor activity, additional cohorts of 1 to 6 subjects were compared with previously tested A drug may be enrolled at any dose level up to the highest dose tested and shown to be safe.
[0310] To reduce the risk of exposing subjects to excessively toxic doses, two subjects were randomly assigned to receive the new cohort. If a DLT occurs in a cohort, the BLRM will The database is updated with the latest information from all cohorts without waiting for all subjects from each cohort. - If two DLTs occur in an escalation cohort, enrollment in that cohort will be halted. , the next cohort will be opened at a lower dose level that meets the EWOC criteria. - If two DLTs occur in additional cohorts, after re-evaluation of all relevant data Further subjects will be admitted to the open cohort only if the dose still meets the EWOC criteria.
