This submitted sequence listing is a part of the present specification and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] FIELD OF THEINVENTION The present invention relates to a method of treating colorectal cancer (CRC), such as metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), in a subject in need of treatment, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody (e.g., a bispecific antibody), where the antibody specifically binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met). [Background technology]
[0003] Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in the colon or rectum. CRC is one of the most common malignant neoplasms, ranking second to fourth worldwide in terms of incidence according to location, type, or sex (see Sawicki et al., Cancers (Basel) 13(9):2025 (2021)). CRC is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States (see Biller & Schrag, JAMA 325(7):669-85 (2021)). Among people diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), less than 20% of patients survive more than 5 years from diagnosis, with a 5-year survival rate of 14% for metastatic CRC (see supra). Summary of the Invention
[0004] Improved therapeutic agents or combinations of therapeutic agents are needed to develop more effective treatments for colorectal cancer (CRC), including metastatic CRC (mCRC).
[0005] The present disclosure relates generally to methods useful for treating CRC, such as metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
[0006] In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method of treating CRC in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) / hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) antibody.

[0022] definition All publications, including but not limited to patents and patent applications, cited in this specification are herein incorporated by reference as if fully set forth.
[0023] It should be understood that the terms used herein are used only to describe particular embodiments and are not intended to be limiting. 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 invention belongs.
[0024] Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice for testing of the present invention, exemplary materials and methods are described herein. In describing and claiming the present invention, the following terminology is used.
[0025] When lists are presented, unless otherwise stated, it is to be understood that each individual element of that list and every combination of that list is a separate embodiment. For example, a list of embodiments presented as "A, B, or C" should be interpreted to include the embodiments "A," "B," "C," "A or B," "A or C," "B or C," or "A, B, or C."
[0026] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a cell" includes a combination of two or more cells, and the like.
[0027] The conjunction phrase "and / or" between multiple listed elements is understood to encompass both individual and combined options. For example, when two elements are connected by "and / or," the first option refers to the first element being applicable without the second element. The second option refers to the second element being applicable without the first element. The third option refers to the first and second elements being applicable together. Any one of these options is understood to be within the meaning and thus meets the requirements of the term "and / or" as used herein. The simultaneous applicability of two or more of the options is also understood to be within the meaning and thus meets the requirements of the term "and / or."
[0028] The transitional phrases "comprising," "consisting essentially of," and "consisting of" are intended to connote their generally accepted meanings in patent language, i.e., (i) "comprising" is synonymous with "comprising," "containing," or "characterized by," is inclusive or open-ended, and does not exclude other unrecited elements or method steps; (ii) "consisting of" excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified in the claim; and (iii) "consisting essentially of" limits the claim to the materials or steps specified and those that do not materially affect the "basic and novel characteristic(s)" of the claimed invention. An embodiment described with the phrase "comprising" (or its synonyms) also provides as an embodiment an embodiment described independently with "consisting of" and "consisting essentially of."
[0029] "About" means within an acceptable range of error for a particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on the limitations of the method by which the value is measured or determined, i.e., the measurement system. In the context of a particular assay, result, or embodiment, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Examples or elsewhere herein, "about" means within one standard deviation, or up to 5%, whichever is greater, as per practice in the art.
[0030] The term "antibody" (singular or plural) is intended in a broad sense and includes immunoglobulin molecules including monoclonal antibodies (including murine, human, humanized, and chimeric monoclonal antibodies), full-length antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, multispecific antibodies such as bispecific, trispecific, tetraspecific, etc., dimeric, tetrameric, or multimeric antibodies, single chain antibodies, domain antibodies, and any other modified form of immunoglobulin molecule that contains an antigen-binding site of the required specificity.
[0031] "Specific binding," "specifically binds," or "specific binding" or "binds" refers to an antibody binding to an antigen or an epitope within an antigen with higher affinity than to other antigens. Typically, antibodies bind with an equilibrium dissociation constant (K D ) is the K for binding to non-specific antigens (e.g., BSA, casein) D At least 100 times smaller than about 5 × 10 -8 M or less, for example, about 1×10 -9 M or less, approximately 1×10 -10 M or less, approximately 1×10 -11 M or less, approximately 1×10 -12 K below M D The dissociation constant can be measured using known protocols. However, an antibody that binds to an antigen or an epitope within an antigen may have cross-reactivity to other related antigens, e.g., the same antigen (homolog) from other species, such as humans or monkeys, e.g., Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus monkey, cyno) or Pan troglodytes (chimp). A monospecific antibody binds to one antigen or one epitope, whereas a bispecific antibody binds to two different antigens or two different epitopes.
[0032] "Complementarity determining region (CDR)" is the region of an antibody that binds to an antigen. CDRs can be defined using various descriptions, such as Kabat (Wu et al. (1970) J Exp Med 132:211-50) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), Chothia (Chothia et al. (1987) J Mol Biol 196:901-17), IMGT (Lefranc et al. (2003) Dev Comp Immunol 27:55-77), and AbM (Martin and Thornton (1996) J Bmol Biol 263:800-15). Correspondence between the various descriptions and numbering of the variable regions has been described (see, for example, Lefranc et al. (2003) Dev Comp Immunol 27:55-77; Honegger and Pluckthun, (2001) J Mol Biol 309:657-70; and the International ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) database; web resource, http: / / www_imgt_org). Available programs such as abYsis by UCL Business PLC can be used to describe the CDRs. As used herein, the terms "CDR", "HCDR1", "HCDR2", "HCDR3", "LCDR1", "LCDR2" and "LCDR3" include CDRs defined by any of the methods of Kabat, Chothia, IMGT or AbM as described above, unless otherwise expressly stated in the specification.
[0033] A "full-length antibody" is composed of two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC), and multimers thereof (e.g., IgM), interconnected by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain is composed of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (consisting of domains CH1, hinge, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain is composed of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The VH and VL regions are interspersed with framework regions (FR) and may be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability called complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDR and four FR segments, arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4.
[0034] "Antigen-binding fragment" refers to a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule that binds to an antigen. The antigen-binding fragment may be a synthetic, enzymatically obtainable, or genetically engineered polypeptide, and includes VH, VL, VH and VL, Fab, F(ab')2, Fd, and Fv fragments, domain antibodies (dAbs) consisting of one VH domain or one VL domain, shark variable IgNAR domain, camelized VH domain, and the minimum recognition unit consisting of amino acid residues reproducing the CDRs of an antibody, such as the FR3-CDR3-FR4 portion, HCDR1, HCDR2, and / or HCDR3, and LCDR1, LCDR2, and / or LCDR3. The VH and VL domains can be linked to each other via synthetic linkers to form various types of single chain antibody designs; when the VH and VL domains are expressed as separate single chain antibody constructs, the VH / VL domains can pair intramolecularly or intermolecularly to form monovalent antigen binding sites, such as single chain Fvs (scFvs) or diabodies, as described, for example, in WO 1998 / 44001, WO 1988 / 01649, WO 1994 / 13804, and WO 1992 / 01047.
[0035] By "monoclonal antibody" is meant an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibody molecules, i.e., individual antibodies that make up the population, that are identical except for possible well-known alterations, such as removal of the C-terminal lysine from the antibody heavy chain, or post-translational modifications such as isomerization or deamidation of amino acids, oxidation of methionine, or deamidation of asparagine or glutamine. A monoclonal antibody typically binds to one antigenic epitope. A bispecific monoclonal antibody binds to two different antigenic epitopes. A monoclonal antibody may have heterogeneous glycosylation within the antibody population. A monoclonal antibody may be monospecific or multispecific, such as bispecific, and may be monovalent, bivalent, or multivalent.
[0036] "Humanized antibody" refers to an antibody in which the antigen binding site is derived from a species other than human and the variable region framework is derived from a human immunoglobulin sequence. Because humanized antibodies may contain mutations intentionally introduced within the framework regions, such frameworks may not be exact copies of expressed human immunoglobulin or germline gene sequences.
[0037] "Human antibody" refers to an antibody having heavy and light chain variable regions in which both the framework and antigen binding sites are derived from sequences of human origin. If the antibody contains a constant region or a portion of a constant region, the constant region also is derived from sequences of human origin. Antibodies in which the antigen binding site is derived from a non-human species are not included in the definition of "human antibody."
[0038] A human antibody comprises a heavy or light chain variable region derived from a sequence of human origin when the variable region of the antibody is obtained from a system using human germline immunoglobulin or rearranged immunoglobulin genes. Non-limiting exemplary systems include human immunoglobulin gene libraries displayed on phage, and transgenic non-human animals carrying human immunoglobulin loci, such as mice or rats. Human antibodies typically contain amino acid differences compared to human germline or rearranged immunoglobulin sequences due to, for example, naturally occurring somatic mutations, deliberate substitutions in frameworks or antigen-binding sites, and substitutions introduced during cloning or VDJ recombination in the non-human animal. Typically, human antibodies are at least 80% identical in amino acid sequence to the amino acid sequences encoded by human germline or rearranged immunoglobulin genes. For example, about 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% identical. In some cases, the human antibody may contain consensus framework sequences obtained from human framework sequence analysis (see, e.g., Knappik et al., J Mol Biol 296:57-86 (2000)), or synthetic HCDR3s incorporated into a human immunoglobulin gene library displayed on phage (see, e.g., Shi et al., J Mol Biol 397:385-96 (2010), and WO 2009 / 085462).
[0039] "Bispecific" refers to an antibody that specifically binds to two different antigens or two different epitopes on the same antigen. Bispecific antibodies may have cross-reactivity to other related antigens, e.g., the same antigen (homolog) from other species such as humans or monkeys, e.g., Macaca cynomolgus (cyno) or chimpanzees, or may bind to an epitope that is shared between two or more different antigens.
[0040] A "bispecific anti-EGFR / c-Met antibody" or "bispecific EGFR / c-Met antibody" refers to a bispecific antibody having a first domain that specifically binds EGFR and a second domain that specifically binds c-Met. The domains that specifically bind EGFR and c-Met are typically VH / VL paired, and the bispecific anti-EGFR / c-Met antibody is monovalent with respect to binding to EGFR and c-Met.
[0041] "Isolated" refers to a homogenous population of molecules (e.g., synthetic polynucleotides, polypeptides, vectors, or viruses) that have been substantially separated and / or purified away from other components of the system in which they are produced, such as recombinant cells, as well as proteins that have been subjected to at least one purification or isolation step. "Isolated" refers to molecules that are substantially free of other cellular material and / or chemicals, and includes molecules that have been isolated to greater degrees of purity, e.g., 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% purity.
[0042] Immunoglobulins can be assigned to five major classes, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, depending on the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain constant domain. IgA and IgG are further subdivided into isotypes IgA1, IgA2, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. The antibody light chain of any vertebrate species can be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain.
[0043] As used herein, "low fucose" or "low fucose content" refers to an antibody having a fucose content of between about 1% and 15%.
[0044] As used herein, "normal fucose" or "normal fucose content" refers to an antibody having a fucose content of greater than about 50%, usually greater than 80%, or greater than 85%.
[0045] "Recombinant" refers to DNA, antibodies, and other proteins that are prepared, expressed, produced, or isolated by recombinant means when segments from different sources are joined to produce the recombinant DNA, antibody, or protein.
[0046] "Carrier" refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle with which the antibody of the present invention is administered. Such vehicles may be liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, and the like. For example, 0.4% saline and 0.3% glycine may be used to formulate the bispecific anti-EGFR / c-Met antibody. These solutions are sterile and generally free of particulate matter. They may be sterilized by conventional, well-known sterilization techniques (e.g., filtration). For parenteral administration, the carrier may comprise sterile water, with other excipients added to enhance or preserve solubility. Injectable suspensions or solutions may also be prepared utilizing aqueous carriers with appropriate additives. Suitable vehicles and formulations, including other human proteins, e.g., human serum albumin, are described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21 st Edition, Troy, DB ed., Lipincott Williams and Wilkins, Philadelphia, PA 2006, Part 5, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing pp 691-1092, see in particular pp. 958-989.

[0052] A "PD-(L)1 axis inhibitor" refers to a molecule that inhibits PD-1 downstream signaling. A PD-(L)1 axis inhibitor may be a molecule that binds to PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2.
[0053] "Antagonist" or "inhibitor" refers to a molecule that, when bound to a cellular protein, inhibits at least one response or activity induced by the protein's natural ligand. A molecule is an antagonist when at least one response or activity is inhibited by at least about 20%, 30%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% more than the at least one response or activity inhibited in the absence of the antagonist (e.g., a negative control), or when the inhibition is statistically significant compared to inhibition in the absence of the antagonist.
[0054] "Treating," "treating," or "treatment" of a disease or disorder, such as cancer, hereinafter refers to achieving one or more of the following: reducing the severity and / or duration of the disorder, inhibiting the worsening of symptoms characteristic of the disorder being treated, limiting or preventing the recurrence of the disorder in a subject who previously had the disorder, or limiting or preventing the recurrence of symptoms in a subject who was previously symptomatic for the disorder.
[0055] "Prevent", "preventing", "prevention", or "prophylaxis" of a disease or disorder means preventing the disorder from occurring in a subject.
[0056] "Responsive," "responsive," or "likely to respond" refers to any type of improvement or positive response, whether detectable or undetectable, such as a reduction or amelioration of one or more symptoms, a decrease in the extent of the disease, a stabilized (i.e., not worsening) disease state, prevention of the spread of the disease, a delay or slowing of the progression of the disease, a amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total).

[0080] As used herein, the term "identical" or "having sequence identity" refers to the degree to which two amino acid sequences have the same residues at the same positions when the sequences are aligned to achieve the maximum level of identity, expressed as a percentage. For sequence alignment comparison, typically one sequence is designated as a reference sequence against which the test sequence is compared. The sequence identity between the reference sequence and the test sequence is expressed as the percentage of positions over the entire length of the reference sequence where the reference sequence and the test sequence share the same amino acid when the reference sequence and the test sequence are aligned to achieve the maximum level of identity. As an example, two sequences are considered to have 70% sequence identity if the test sequence has the same amino acid residues at 70% of the same positions over the entire length of the reference sequence when aligned to achieve the maximum level of identity.

[0130] In some embodiments, the antibody is a human antibody.
[0131] In certain embodiments, the antibody is amivantamab. Amivantamab or JNJ-61186372 (JNJ-372) is an IgG1 anti-EGFR / c-Met bispecific antibody described in U.S. Patent No. 9,593,164. The structure of amivantamab is shown in FIG. 2. The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the discovery that amivantamab is effective in treating CRC, such as mCRC.
[0132] Other anti-EGFR / c-Met antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) can also be used in the methods of the disclosure, for example, by combining publicly available EGFR-binding VH / VL domains and c-Met-binding VH / VL domains.
[0133] In some embodiments, the antibody (eg, a bispecific antibody) comprises a biantennary glycan structure having a fucose content of about 1% to about 15%.
[0134] Antibodies with low fucose content can be produced using various methods that have been reported to successfully express relatively highly defucosylated antibodies with biantennary complex type Fc oligosaccharides, such as: control of the osmolarity of the culture (Konno et al., Cytotechnology 64(:249-65, 2012), application of the variant CHO line Lec13 as a host cell line (Shields et al., J Biol Chem 277:26733-26740, 2002), application of the variant CHO line EB66 as a host cell line (Olivier et al., MAbs;2(4), 2010; Epub ahead of print; PMID:20562582), application of the rat hybridoma cell line YB2 / 0 as a host cell line (Shinkawa et al., J Biol Chem 278:3466-3473, 2003), introduction of small interfering RNA specific for the α1,6-fucosyltransferase (FUT8) gene (Mori et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 88:901-908, 2004), or co-expression of β-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III and Golgi α-mannosidase II or kifunensine, a potent α-mannosidase I inhibitor (Ferrara et al., J Biol Chem 281:5032-5036, 2006; Ferrara et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 93:851-861, 2006; Zhou et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 99:652-65, 2008). In general, reducing the fucose content in the glycans of antibodies enhances antibody-mediated cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
[0135] Preparation of anti-EGFR / c-Met antibody The anti-EGFR / c-Met antibodies used in the disclosed methods can be generated using Fab arm exchange (or half molecule exchange) between two monospecific bivalent antibodies, for example, by introducing substitutions in the heavy chain CH3 interface in each half molecule to favor the formation of heterodimers of two antibody half molecules with different specificities, in a cell-free environment in vitro or using co-expression. The Fab arm exchange reaction is the result of a disulfide bond isomerization reaction and dissociation-association of the CH3 domains. The heavy chain disulfide bonds in the hinge region of the parent monospecific antibodies are reduced. The resulting free cysteine of one of the parent monospecific antibodies forms an intra-heavy chain disulfide bond with a cysteine residue of the second parent monospecific antibody molecule, and at the same time, the CH3 domain of the parent antibody is released and reformed by dissociation-association. The CH3 domain of the Fab arm can be engineered to favor heterodimerization over homodimerization. The resulting product is a bispecific antibody with two Fab arms or half molecules that each bind a different epitope, i.e., an epitope in EGFR and an epitope in c-Met. For example, bispecific antibodies of the invention can be generated using the techniques described in WO 2011 / 131746. For IgG1 antibodies, the mutation F405L in one heavy chain and K409R in the other heavy chain can be used. For IgG2 antibodies, wild type IgG2 and IgG2 antibodies with F405L and R409K substitutions may be used. For IgG4 antibodies, wild type IgG4 and IgG4 antibodies with F405L and R409K substitutions may be used. To generate a bispecific antibody, a first monospecific bivalent antibody and a second monospecific bivalent antibody are engineered to have the aforementioned mutations in the Fc region, and the antibodies are incubated together under sufficient reducing conditions to allow the cysteines in the hinge region to undergo disulfide bond isomerization, thereby generating the bispecific antibody by Fab arm exchange. Incubation conditions may optimally be returned to non-reducing conditions.Exemplary reducing agents that may be used are 2-mercaptoethylamine (2-MEA), dithiothreitol (DTT), dithioerythritol (DTE), glutathione, tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), L-cysteine, and β-mercaptoethanol. For example, incubation at a temperature of at least 20° C., in the presence of at least 25 mM 2-MEA or in the presence of at least 0.5 mM dithiothreitol, at a pH of 5-8, e.g., pH 7.0 or pH 7.4, for at least 90 minutes may be used.
[0136] Bispecific anti-EGFR / c-Met antibodies for use in the methods of the disclosure can also be generated using designs such as knobs-in-holes (Genentech), CrossMAb (Roche) and electrostatically-matched (Chugai, Amgen, NovoNordisk, Oncomed), LUZ-Y (Genentech), Strand Exchange Engineered Domain body (SEEDbody) (EMD Serono), and Biclonic (Merus).
[0137] In the "knobs-in-holes" approach (see, for example, WO 2006 / 028936), selected amino acids that form the interface of the CH3 domain of human IgG can be mutated at positions that affect CH3 domain interactions to promote heterodimer formation. Amino acids with small side chains (holes) are introduced into the heavy chain of an antibody that specifically binds to a first antigen, and amino acids with large side chains (knobs) are introduced into the heavy chain of an antibody that specifically binds to a second antigen. After co-expression of the two antibodies, heterodimers are formed as a result of the preferential interaction of heavy chains with "holes" and heavy chains with "knobs". Exemplary CH3 substitution pairs that form knobs and holes are T366Y / F405A, T366W / F405W, F405W / Y407A, T394W / Y407T, T394S / Y407A, T366W / T394S, F405W / T394S, and T366W / T366S_L368A_Y407V (expressed as modification position in the first CH3 domain of the first heavy chain / modification position in the second CH3 domain of the second heavy chain).
[0138] In addition to utilizing the "knobs-in-holes" approach to facilitate Fab arm exchange, CrossMAb technology utilizes CH1 / CL domain swapping in one of the half-arms to ensure correct light chain pairing of the resulting bispecific antibody (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 8,242,247).
[0139] Other crossover techniques may be used to generate full length bispecific antibodies of the invention by swapping variable or constant, or both, domains in one or both arms between the heavy and light chains of the bispecific antibody or within the heavy chain, including, for example, VH-CH1 and VL-CL, VH and VL, CH3 and CL, and CH3 and CH1 as described in WO 2009 / 080254, WO 2009 / 080251, WO 2009 / 018386, and WO 2009 / 080252.
[0140] Other approaches, such as promoting heavy chain heterodimerization using electrostatic interactions by substituting positively charged residues on one CH3 surface and negatively charged residues on the second CH3 surface, may be used as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010 / 0015133, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2009 / 0182127, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2010 / 028637, or U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2011 / 0123532. In another approach, heterodimerization can be achieved by the following substitutions: L351Y_F405A_Y407V / T394W, T366I_K392M_T394W / F405A_Y407V, T366L_K392M_T394W / F405A_Y407V, L351Y ... A / T366A_K409F, L351Y_Y407A / T366V_K409F, Y407A / T366A_K409F, or T350V_L351Y_F405A_Y407V / T350V_T366L_K392L_T394W (represented as modification position in the first CH3 domain of the first heavy chain / modification position in the second CH3 domain of the second heavy chain).
[0141] SEEDbody technology may be utilized to generate bispecific antibodies of the invention. SEEDbodies have selected IgG residues in their constant domains substituted with IgA residues to promote heterodimerization, as described in US Patent Application Publication No. 20070287170.
[0142] Mutations are typically made at the DNA level, using standard methods, on molecules such as the constant domain of an antibody.
