AI Technical Summary
Existing antibody drugs, such as anti-FXI/FXIA antibodies, are unstable due to their large molecular weight and complex structure, leading to decomposition and polymerization, which complicates their storage and administration.
A pharmaceutical composition is developed that includes anti-FXI/FXIA antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments, stabilized by a self-buffer system comprising basic amino acids like histidine, non-ionic surfactants like polysorbate 188, and osmotic pressure regulators like trehalose, maintaining stability and effectiveness.
The composition ensures physical, chemical, and biological stability of the antibodies, allowing for prolonged storage and effective administration, with minimal degradation and aggregation.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This disclosure claims priority to the following patent application(s) having a filing date of January 5, 2022, application number 202210006206.X, and a Chinese patent application having a filing date of January 18, 2022, application number 202210053441.2, and entitled "Pharmaceutical Composition Containing Anti-FXI / FXIa Antibody and Use Thereof," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present disclosure is in the field of drug formulations, and specifically relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising anti-FXI / FXIa antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, and their use as medicines. [Background technology]
[0003] The FXI gene is located on human chromosome 4 and encodes a secreted protein consisting of 607 amino acids; the FXI protein molecule contains four apple domains and one catalytic domain; it exists in the form of a homodimer in human blood; the protein FXI forms a non-covalent complex with HK and circulates in human plasma at a FXI concentration of approximately 30 nM (15-45 nM); the human FXI molecule has 88%, 67%, and 58% homology with monkey and mouse FXI molecules, respectively (two species, three homology data).
[0004] At present, there are already many literature and clinical trials showing that inhibiting the activity of FXI and its transformed form FXIa can effectively reduce the formation of thrombus without causing the bleeding risk seen. According to the currently disclosed clinical results, compared with conventional oral anticoagulants (NOACs), anti-FXI / FXIa antibodies have similar or better antithrombotic effects, and with a lower bleeding risk, patients can receive a safer treatment.
[0005] Due to their characteristics, therapeutic proteins such as human monoclonal antibodies are generally administered as liquid drug formulations by injection. However, antibody drugs have a large molecular weight and a complex structure, and are prone to become unstable due to decomposition, polymerization, undesirable chemical modification, etc. Research into stabilized formulations of antibody drugs is particularly important so that antibodies are suitable for administration, maintain stability during storage and subsequent use, and can achieve better effects. The present disclosure aims to provide a pharmaceutical composition (formulation) containing an anti-FXI / FXIa antibody that is sufficiently stable and more suitable for administration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0076] term In order that the present disclosure may be more readily understood, certain technical and scientific terms are specifically defined below. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, all other technical and scientific terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0077] "Buffer" refers to a buffer that resists changes in pH by the action of its acid-base conjugate components. Examples of buffers that control pH in the appropriate range include acetate, succinate, gluconate, histidine, oxalate, lactate, phosphate, citrate, tartrate, fumarate, glycylglycine and other organic acid buffers.
[0078] A "histidine buffer" is a buffer containing histidine ions. Examples of histidine buffers include histidine-hydrochloride, histidine-acetate, histidine-phosphate, histidine-sulfate, and the like, and preferably histidine-hydrochloride buffers. Histidine-hydrochloride buffers are prepared with histidine and hydrochloric acid or histidine and histidine hydrochloride.
[0079] "Self-buffering" refers to the sufficient ability of a substance such as a drug protein (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, in some embodiments an anti-FXI / FXIa antibody, e.g., the 3882 antibody of the present disclosure) to withstand pH changes of certain uses in the absence of other buffering agents.
[0080] "Tris-citrate buffer" is a buffer containing citrate ions. Examples of Tris-citrate buffers include Tris-hydrochloride, Tris-acetate, Tris-phosphate, Tris-sulfate, Tris-citrate, and the like buffers, and preferably Tris-citrate.
[0081] A "Tris-hydrochloride buffer" is a buffer that contains hydrochloride ions. Examples of Tris-hydrochloride buffers include Tris-hydrochloride, Tris-acetate, Tris-phosphate, Tris-sulfate, Tris-citrate, and the like buffers. A preferred citrate buffer is Tris-hydrochloride buffer.
[0082] A "phosphate buffer" is a buffer that contains phosphate ions. Examples of phosphate buffers include disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate-potassium dihydrogen phosphate, etc. A preferred phosphate buffer is disodium hydrogen phosphate-sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer.
[0083] An "acetate buffer" is a buffer that contains acetate ions. Examples of acetate buffers include acetic acid-sodium acetate, acetic acid-histidine salt, acetic acid-potassium acetate, acetic acid-calcium acetate, acetic acid-magnesium acetate, etc. A preferred acetate buffer is acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer.
[0084] A "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a mixture containing one or more compounds described herein or their physiologically / pharmaceutical acceptable salts or prodrugs, and other chemical components such as physiologically / pharmaceutical acceptable vectors and excipients. The pharmaceutical composition is intended to facilitate administration to a living body and contribute to the absorption of the active ingredient to further exert biological activity. In this specification, the terms "pharmaceutical composition" and "formulation" are not mutually exclusive.
[0085] In the solution forms of the pharmaceutical compositions described in this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the solvent therein is water.
[0086] The term "about" as used herein means that the numerical value is within an acceptable error range of the specific value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, the numerical portion being determined by how it is measured or determined (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, in the practice of the art, "about" may mean within or more than one standard difference. Alternatively, "about" or "essentially including" may mean a range of at most 20%. Moreover, particularly for biological systems or processes, the term may mean at most an order of magnitude or at most 5 times the numerical value. Unless otherwise stated, when a specific value appears in the present application and claims, the meaning of "about" or "essentially including" should be assumed to be within an acceptable error range of the specific value.
[0087] The pharmaceutical compositions described in the present disclosure can achieve a stable effect, i.e., the antibody therein essentially retains its physical and / or chemical stability and / or biological activity after storage, and preferably, the pharmaceutical composition essentially retains its physical and chemical stability and its biological activity after storage. The storage period is generally selected based on the desired shelf life of the pharmaceutical composition. Currently, there are several analytical techniques for measuring protein stability, which can measure stability after storage at a given temperature for a given period of time.
[0088] A stable drug antibody formulation is one that does not show significant changes when stored at refrigerated temperatures (2-8°C) for at least 3 months, preferably 6 months, more preferably 1 year, and even more preferably up to 2 years. Stable liquid formulations also include liquid formulations that exhibit the desired characteristics after storage at temperatures including 25°C for periods including 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 40°C for periods including 1 month. A typical acceptable criterion for stability is that typically no more than about 10%, preferably no more than about 5%, of the antibody monomer is degraded as measured by SEC-HPLC. By visual analysis, the drug antibody formulation is colorless or yellow, clear to slightly opalescent. The concentration, pH, and osmolality of the formulation have a variation of no more than ±10%. Typically no more than about 10%, preferably no more than about 5%, cleavage is observed, and typically no more than about 10%, preferably no more than about 5% of aggregates are formed.
[0089] An antibody "retains its physical stability" in a drug formulation if it does not exhibit significant increased aggregation, precipitation, and / or denaturation as determined by visual inspection of color and / or clarity or by UV light scattering, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Changes in protein conformation can be assessed by fluorescence spectroscopy (which determines the tertiary structure of proteins) and by FTIR spectroscopy (which determines the secondary structure of proteins).
[0090] If the antibody does not show significant chemical changes, the antibody "retains its chemical stability" in the drug formulation. Chemical stability can be assessed by detecting and quantifying chemically altered proteins. Degradation processes that constantly change the chemical structure of proteins include hydrolysis or cleavage (assessed by methods such as size exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE), oxidation (assessed by methods such as peptide mapping combined with mass spectrometry or MALDI / TOF / MS), deamidation (assessed by methods such as ion exchange chromatography, capillary isoelectric focusing, peptide mapping, measurement of isoaspartic acid, etc.) and isomerization (assessed by measurement of isoaspartic acid content, peptide mapping, etc.).
[0091] An antibody "retains its biological activity" in a drug formulation if the biological activity of the antibody over a given time period is within a given range of the biological activity exhibited when the drug formulation was prepared. Antibody biological activity can be determined, for example, by antigen binding assays.
[0092] "Factor XI", also referred to herein as "blood clotting factor XI", "FXI" or "fXI", is a two-chain glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 160 kilodaltons (kD). The two chains may be a polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 80,000 daltons linked via identical disulfide bonds. FXI contains four "apple domains" (A1-A4 from the N-terminus, heavy chain) and a C-terminal catalytic domain (light chain). Without wishing to be limited to a particular theory, the four apple domains are believed to contain FXI binding sites to other proteins, e.g., A1 to thrombin, A2 to HK, A3 to factor IX (FIX), GPIb to heparin, and A4 to FXIIa. FXI can be transformed into its active form, blood clotting factor XIa (FXIa), by factor XIIa (FXIIa). The serine protease FXIa transforms blood clotting factor IX to blood clotting factor IXa, which then activates blood clotting factor X (Xa), which can then mediate the activation of blood clotting factor II / thrombin.
[0093] The three-letter and one-letter codes for amino acids used in this disclosure are as described in J. Biol. Chem, 243, p3558 (1968).
[0094] The term "antibody" or "immunoglobulin" is used in the broadest sense and covers a variety of antibody structures, including, but not limited to, conventional antibodies (tetrapeptide chain structure antibodies consisting of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains linked by interchain disulfide bonds), as well as Fab, Fv, sFv, F(ab')2, linear antibodies, single-chain antibodies, scFv, sdAb, sdFv, nanobodies, peptide antibodies, peptibodies, domain antibodies (heavy chain (VH) antibodies, light chain (VL) antibodies), and multispecific antibodies (diabodies, triabodies and tetrabodies, tandem di-scFv, tandem tri-scFv) having antigen-binding activity. The term "antibody" as used in this disclosure includes full-length antibodies, single chains thereof, and any portion thereof (i.e., antigen-binding fragments), domains or fragments thereof that have antigen-binding activity, as well as multispecific antibodies (including, but not limited to, antigen-binding domains or fragments, e.g., VHH domains or VH / VL domains, respectively) that comprise a single chain thereof and any portion, domain or fragment thereof that has antigen-binding activity. Conventional antibodies or immunoglobulins are usually tetrapeptide chain structures consisting of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains linked by interchain disulfide bonds. Depending on the amino acid composition and sequence order of the heavy chain constant region, immunoglobulins can be divided into five types or may be referred to as immunoglobulin isotypes, IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA and IgE, with the corresponding heavy chains being μ, δ, γ, α and ε chains, respectively. Ig of the same type can be further divided into different subclasses depending on the difference in the amino acid composition of the hinge region and the number and position of the heavy chain disulfide bonds; for example, IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. Light chains are divided into κ chains and λ chains depending on the difference in the constant region. Each of the five types of Ig may have a κ (kappa) chain or a λ (lambda) chain. In some embodiments, the antibody of the present disclosure specifically or essentially specifically binds to human FXI / FXIa.
[0095] In the heavy and light chains of an antibody, the sequence of about 110 amino acids near the N-terminus is highly variable and forms the variable region (Fv region), while the remaining amino acid sequence near the C-terminus is relatively stable and forms the constant region. The variable region includes three hypervariable regions (HVR) and four framework regions (FR) whose sequences are relatively conservative. The three hypervariable regions determine the specificity of the antibody and are also called complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Each light chain variable region (LCVR) and heavy chain variable region (HCVR) consists of three CDR regions and four FR regions, which are arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The three CDR regions of the light chain are referred to as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, and the three CDR regions of the heavy chain are referred to as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3. The CDR amino acid residues of the LCVR and HCVR regions of the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments described in this disclosure conform in number and position to the known Kabat numbering convention (LCDR1-3, HCDR2-3) or conform to the Kabat and Chothia numbering convention (HCDR1).
[0096] The antibodies of the present disclosure include murine antibodies, chimeric antibodies, and humanized antibodies, preferably humanized antibodies.
[0097] The term "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody in which the variable region of a mouse antibody is fused with the constant region of a human antibody, and can reduce the immune response reaction induced by the mouse antibody. To generate a chimeric antibody, first, a hybridoma secreting a mouse-specific monoclonal antibody is generated, and then the variable region gene is cloned from the mouse hybridoma cell, and if necessary, the constant region gene of a human antibody is cloned, and the mouse variable region gene and the human constant region gene are linked to form a chimeric gene, which is then inserted into a human vector, and finally the chimeric antibody molecule is expressed in a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell system. In one preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the antibody light chain of the FXI chimeric antibody further comprises a light chain constant region of a human κ, λ chain or a mutant thereof. The antibody heavy chain of the FXI chimeric antibody further comprises a heavy chain constant region of a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4 or a mutant thereof.
[0098] The term "humanized antibody", also called CDR-grafted antibody, refers to an antibody generated by grafting mouse CDR sequences onto a human antibody variable region framework, i.e., a different type of human germline antibody framework sequence. This overcomes the strong antibody response induced by chimeric antibodies having a large amount of mouse protein components. Such framework sequences can be obtained from a common DNA database containing germline antibody gene sequences or from the disclosed references. For example, germline DNA sequences of human heavy and light chain variable region genes can be found in the "VBase" human germline sequence database (available on the Internet at www.mrccpe.com.ac.uk / vbase) and Kabat, EA et al., 1991 Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th edition. To avoid a decrease in activity associated with a decrease in immunogenicity, the activity can be maintained by performing the least possible back mutations or reverse mutations on the human antibody variable region framework sequences. The humanized antibodies of the present disclosure further include phage-displayed humanized antibodies that have been affinity-matured against the CDRs.
[0099] The "mutation" in the mutant sequence described in this disclosure includes, but is not limited to, "back mutation," "conservative modification," or "conservative substitution or replacement." The "conservative modification" or "conservative substitution or replacement" described in this disclosure means that the substitution of an amino acid in a protein with another amino acid having similar characteristics (e.g., charge, side chain size, hydrophobicity / hydrophilicity, main chain conformation or rigidity, etc.) can be frequently changed without changing the biological activity of the protein. As is known to those skilled in the art, a single amino acid substitution in a non-essential region of a polypeptide generally does not fundamentally change the biological activity (see, for example, Watson et al. (1987) Molecular Biology of the Gene, The Benjamin / Cummings Pub.Co., p. 224, (4th edition)). In addition, substitution of an amino acid with a similar structure or function is unlikely to destroy the biological activity.
[0100] The "mutated sequence" described in this disclosure refers to a nucleotide sequence and / or amino acid sequence having a different percentage of sequence identity from the nucleotide sequence and / or amino acid sequence of the present disclosure obtained by performing a mutation modification such as appropriate substitution, insertion, or deletion on the nucleotide sequence and / or amino acid sequence of the present disclosure. The sequence identity described in this disclosure may be at least 85%, 90% or 95%, for example, at least 95%. Non-limiting examples include 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, and 100%. Sequence comparison and percentage identity measurement between two sequences can be performed using the default settings of the BLASTN / BLASTP algorithm available from the homepage of the National Center For Biotechnology Institute.
[0101] The term "binds to FXI / FXIa" in the present disclosure refers to being capable of interacting with FXI / FXIa or an epitope thereof, which may be of human origin. The term "antigen-binding site" in the present disclosure refers to a three-dimensional spatial site that is not contiguous in an antigen and is recognized by an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present disclosure.
[0102] The term "specific binding" refers to binding as measured by techniques available in the art, such as competitive ELISA, BIACORE® assay, or KINEXA® assay. The term also applies, for example, when the antigen-binding domain of an antibody according to the present disclosure is specific for a particular epitope carried by many antigens, in which case the antibody carrying the antigen-binding domain can specifically bind to multiple antigens carrying the epitope.
[0103] "Conservative modification" or "conservative substitution or replacement" refers to the substitution of amino acids in a protein with other amino acids having similar characteristics (e.g., charge, side chain size, hydrophobicity / hydrophilicity, main chain conformation or rigidity, etc.), which can be frequently changed without changing the biological activity of the protein. As is known to those skilled in the art, single amino acid substitutions in non-essential regions of a polypeptide generally do not fundamentally change the biological activity (see, for example, Watson et al. (1987) Molecular Biology of the Gene, The Benjamin / Cummings Pub.Co., p. 224, (4th edition)). In addition, substitution of amino acids with similar structures or functions is unlikely to destroy biological activity.
[0104] "Identity" of amino acid sequences refers to the similarity of sequences between two proteins or polypeptides. If both positions in two compared sequences are occupied by the same amino acid residue, e.g., if a position in two polypeptides is occupied by the same amino acid residue, then the molecules are homologous at that position. Examples of algorithms suitable for determining percentage sequence identity and percentage sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, which are described in Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 and Altschul et al. (1977) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402, respectively. Software for performing BLAST analyses is publicly available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (http: / / www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ).
[0105] Methods for producing and purifying antibodies and antigen-binding fragments well known in the art are described, for example, in chapters 5-8 and 15 of the Cold Spring Harbor Antibody Laboratory Techniques Manual. The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments described in the invention have one or more human FR regions added to the non-human CDR regions by genetic engineering methods. Human FR germline sequences can be obtained from the ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) homepage http: / / imgt.cines.fr by aligning the IMGT human antibody variable region germline gene database with MOE software, or from the Immunoglobulin journal 2001 ISBN 012441351.
[0106] The engineered antibodies or antigen-binding fragments according to the present disclosure can be prepared and purified by conventional methods. For example, cDNA sequences encoding the heavy and light chains can be cloned and recombined into a GS expression vector. The recombinant immunoglobulin expression vector can be stably transfected into CHO cells. In one of the more preferred conventional techniques, the mammalian expression system leads to glycosylation of the antibody, especially at the highly conserved N-terminal site of the Fc region. Stable clones are obtained by expressing an antibody that specifically binds to human FXI. Positive clones are expanded in serum-free medium in a bioreactor to produce the antibody. The culture medium from which the antibody is secreted can be purified by conventional techniques. For example, purification is performed on an A or G Sepharose FF column with a regulated buffer. Non-specifically bound components are washed away. Furthermore, the bound antibody is eluted by a pH gradient method, and the antibody fragment is detected and collected by SDS-PAGE. The antibody can be filtered and concentrated by conventional methods. Soluble mixtures and polymers may be removed by conventional methods such as molecular sieving, ion exchange, etc. The resulting product must be immediately frozen, such as at -70°C, or lyophilized.
[0107] "Administration" and "treatment", when applied to an animal, human, experimental subject, cell, tissue, organ, or biological fluid, refers to contact of an exogenous agent, therapeutic agent, diagnostic agent, or composition with an animal, human, subject, cell, tissue, organ, or biological fluid. "Administration" and "treatment" may refer, for example, to therapeutic, pharmacokinetic, diagnostic, research, and experimental methods. Treatment of cells includes contact of a reagent with a cell, and contact of a reagent with a fluid, where the fluid contacts the cell. "Administration" and "treatment" also refer to treating, for example, cells ex vivo and in vitro, with a reagent, diagnostic, binding composition, or through another cell. "Treatment", when used in human, veterinary, or research subjects, refers to therapeutic treatment, preventative or prophylactic measures, research, and diagnostic uses.
[0108] "Treatment" refers to providing a patient with an oral or topical therapeutic agent, for example, comprising a composition of any one of the binding compounds of the present disclosure, where the patient has one or more disease symptoms, and the known therapeutic agent has a therapeutic effect on these symptoms. Typically, the patient or population being treated is provided with a therapeutic agent in an amount that effectively relieves one or more disease symptoms, thereby inducing the resolution of these symptoms, or inhibiting these symptoms from progressing to any clinically measurable extent. The amount of therapeutic agent that effectively relieves any particular disease symptom (also referred to as a "therapeutically effective amount") can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the disease state, age and weight of the patient, and the ability of the drug to produce the required therapeutic effect in the patient. Reduction of disease symptoms can be assessed by any clinical detection method commonly used by physicians or other professional health care providers to assess the severity or progression of the condition. An embodiment of the present disclosure (e.g., a method of treatment or product) may be ineffective in alleviating the respective target disease symptom, but may reduce the target disease symptom in a statistically significant number of patients, as determined by any statistical testing method known in the art, such as Student's t-test, chi-square test, Mann and Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test (H test), Jonckheere-Terpstra test, and Wilcoxon test.
[0109] An "effective amount" includes an amount sufficient to ameliorate or prevent a symptom or condition of a medical disease. Effective amount also refers to an amount sufficient to permit or facilitate diagnosis. The effective amount used in a particular patient or veterinary subject can vary depending on factors such as, for example, the condition being treated, the overall health of the patient, the route and dose of administration, and the severity of side effects. An effective amount may be the maximum dose or dosing regimen in which significant side effects or toxic effects are avoided.
[0110] "Tm value" refers to the thermal denaturation temperature of a protein, i.e., the temperature at which half of the protein is unfolded; in this case, the spatial structure of the protein is destroyed, so the higher the Tm value, the higher the thermal stability of the protein.
[0111] Working Example The present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with examples, but these examples are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Experimental methods for which specific conditions are not specified in the examples of the present disclosure generally follow standard conditions, such as those in the Cold Spring Harbor Antibody Technology Laboratory Manual, the Molecular Cloning Manual, etc., or conditions suggested by raw material or product manufacturers. Reagents for which a specific source is not specified are standard commercially available reagents.
[0112] Example 1. Screening and preparation of anti-FXI / FXIa hybridoma monoclonal antibodies 1. Preparation of human FXI / FXIa antigen and detection protein Human FXI / FXIa protein (Uniprot Acc No. P03951) was purchased from Enzyme research laboratories (FXI: Cat. HFXI1111, FXIa: HFXIa 1111a) as the antigen and detection protein of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise specified, the following FXI / FXIa antigens all refer to human FXI / FXIa.

[0115] 2. Purification of FXI / FXIa-related recombinant proteins, and purification of hybridoma and recombinant antibodies (1) Isolation and purification of mouse hybridoma supernatant / Protein G affinity chromatography: For purification of mouse hybridoma supernatant, affinity chromatography is preferably performed using Protein G packing material (KANEKA: Cat. KanCapTMG), the cultured hybridoma is centrifuged to collect the supernatant, and a gravity column containing Protein G packing material is used for purification. The column is first regenerated with 6M guanidine hydrochloride (Simga: Cat. G3272-1KG) for 3-5 column volumes, then washed with pure water for 3-5 column volumes, and then washed with 1x PBS (pH 7.4) (Sangon). The chromatography column was equilibrated with 3-5 column volumes of Sigma Biotech (Shanghai) co., Ltd. (Cat. E607016-0500) buffer system as equilibration buffer, the cell supernatant was loaded onto the column at a low flow rate to bind, and the flow rate was controlled so that the retention time was about 1 min or more. The chromatography column was washed with 1×PBS (pH 7.4) at 3-5 column volumes until the UV absorption fell back to the baseline, and the sample was eluted with 0.1 M Glycine (pH 3.0) (Sigma: Cat. 410225-250G) buffer, and the elution peak was collected by UV detection, and the elution product was quickly adjusted to pH 7-8 with 1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) (Vetec, Cat. V900483) and stored for a while. The eluted product can be displaced by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, ultrafiltration concentration using ultrafiltration tubes, displacement of the solution into a desired buffer system, or molecular exclusion chromatography, e.g., G-25 desalting, displacement into a desired buffer system.
[0116] (2) Extraction of human Fc-tagged fusion proteins or antibodies by Protein A affinity chromatography: First, the cell culture supernatant expressing the Fc fusion protein or antibody was centrifuged at high speed, and the supernatant was collected. A Protein A (GE, Cat: 17-5474-99) affinity column was regenerated with 0.1 M NaOH (Sigma: Cat: 71687-500g) for 5 column volumes, and then washed with 1× PBS (pH 7.4) (Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) co., Ltd.: Cat. E607016-0500) for 5 column volumes to equilibrate. The cell supernatant was applied to the column at a low flow rate to bind, and the flow rate was controlled so that the retention time was about 1 min or more. After the binding was completed, the chromatography column was washed with 1× PBS (pH 7.4) for 5 column volumes until the UV absorption fell to the baseline. The sample was eluted with 0.1M Glycine (pH 3.0) (Sigma: Cat. 410225-250G) buffer, the elution peak was collected by UV detection, and the elution product was quickly adjusted to pH 7-8 with 1M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) (Vetec, Cat. V900483) and stored for a while. The elution product can be replaced by a method well known to those skilled in the art, such as ultrafiltration concentration using an ultrafiltration tube, replacement of the solution with a desired buffer system, or molecular exclusion chromatography, such as replacement with a desired buffer system using G-25 desalting.
[0117] (3) Purification of antibodies by anion chromatography: First, the sample was diluted with equilibration buffer 20 mM Tris pH 8.0 (Vetec, Cat. V900483) until the conductivity was less than 3 ms / cm, and then equilibrated with a Q HP (GE, Cat: 17-1014-01) anion chromatography column by regenerating with 0.5 M NaOH (Sigma: Cat: 71687-500g) for 5 column volumes, and then washing with 20 mM Tris pH 8.0 (Vetec, Cat. V900483) for 15 column volumes. The sample was loaded onto the column at a low flow rate and bound, the flow rate was controlled to achieve a retention time of about 2 min or more, and after binding was complete, the chromatography column was washed with 10 column volumes of 20 mM Tris pH 8.0 (Vetec, Cat. V900483) until the UV absorption fell back to baseline. The elution was performed with a gradient of 0-100% with elution buffer 20 mM Tris pH 8.0 (Vetec, Cat. V900483) 0.5 M NaCl (Vetec, Cat. V900058), and the elution peak was detected and collected by SEC-UPLC (Column: Waters ACQUITY UPLC® Protein BEH SEC column 200 Å, 1.7 μm, Cat. 186005225) purity. The elution product can be replaced by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as ultrafiltration concentration with an ultrafiltration tube, replacement of the solution with a desired buffer system, or molecular exclusion chromatography, e.g., replacement with a desired buffer system by G-25 desalting.
[0118] 3. Antibody screening Five SJL white mice and five Balb / c white mice were immunized with 25μg of FXIa antigen and three KLH-complexed polypeptides mixed with adjuvant. The time points were 0, 14, and 35 days. On day 0, the emulsified antigen was intraperitoneally (IP) injected at 25μg / mouse. On days 14 and 35, it was injected at 12.5μg / mouse. Blood was collected on days 21 and 42, and the antibody titers in the mouse serum were determined by ELISA. After the 4th to 5th immunization, mice with high and stable antibody titers in the serum were selected and splenocyte fusion was performed.
[0119] Through the optimized PEG-mediated fusion step, splenic lymphocytes were fused with myeloma cells Sp2 / 0-Ag14 cells to obtain hybridoma cells. According to the growth density of hybridoma cells, purification, cell binding experiment and cell blocking experiment were performed on the hybridoma culture supernatant by binding ELISA method, and the positive well cells were amplified, frozen, stockpiled and sequenced in a timely manner. After further screening of hybridoma cells by ELISA method, hybridoma clones were obtained, and then antibodies were prepared and purified.
[0120] A positive clone 3807 was obtained, and the amino acid sequence of the variable region of the corresponding antibody is as follows: >3807-VH: [ka] >3807-VL: [ka]
[0121] [Table 1]
[0122] Example 2. Humanization and immunogenicity modification of anti-FXI / FXIa hybridoma antibodies 1. Humanization Three-dimensional homology modeling was performed on the antibody molecule 3807, and the results were aligned with the V-base human germline sequence database and the IMGT human antibody heavy chain variable region germline gene database. The heavy chain variable region germline gene with high homology to the screened antibody was selected as a template, and the CDR of the mouse-derived monoclonal antibody was grafted to the corresponding human module. The grafted antibody was again subjected to three-dimensional structure simulation and analysis, and specific sites in the FR region that affect the structural form of the CDR region were back-mutated. The amino acid residues were determined and annotated according to the Kabat numbering system.
[0123] The humanized architecture of hybridoma clone 3807 is as follows: light chain template IGKV3-11*01, heavy chain template IGHV1-69-2*01, and the humanized variable region sequences are as follows (CDRs are underlined): >3807VH-CDR graft [ka] >3807VL-CDR graft [ka] The backmutation sites and mutation scheme of the hybridoma clone 3807 were designed as shown in Table 2.
[0124] [Table 2]
[0125] Among them, the specific sequences of 3807-VH1 and 3807-VL3 are as follows: >3807-VH1: [ka] >3807-VL3: [ka] Antibody 3871 has a VH of 3807-VH1 and a VL of 3807-VL3.
[0126] 2. Modification of immunogenicity Genetic modifications were made to 3871 to make the antibody more stable and less immunogenic. Only the heavy chain variable region FR region was modified, and the light chain variable region was left unchanged.
[0127] The genetically engineered heavy chain variable region sequence of humanized antibody 3871 is as follows (the light chain is unchanged): >3807-VH1(GTFS) [ka]
[0128] Antibody 3882 has a VH of 3807-VH1(GTFS) and a VL of 3807-VL3.
[0129] Each of the heavy chain variable regions described above was fused to the corresponding human antibody heavy chain CH1 (sequence number 18) and human antibody IgG4 Fc (containing S241P mutation) (sequence number 19), and the light chain variable region was fused to human kappa (sequence number 20) to construct a recombinant chimeric antibody for subsequent detection.
[0130] >Human antibody heavy chain CH1: [ka] > Human antibody IgG4PFc (i.e., containing the S241P mutation): [ka] >Human antibody light chain Cκ: [ka] 3882 shows an example of a full-length antibody sequence. >3882-HC: [ka] >3882-LC: [ka] The antibody expression vector was prepared by conventional methods, and the CHO cells were transfected, isolated, purified and detected to obtain the target antibody.
[0131] Example 3. Verification of the function of anti-FXI / FXIa antibodies 1. Affinity Measurement The Biacore method was used. After affinity capturing a certain amount of antibody to be measured with a Protein A biosensor chip (Cat.#29127556, GE), human FXI / FXIa was passed over the chip surface in a series of concentration gradients, and the reaction signal was detected in real time by a Biacore instrument (Biacore T200, GE) to obtain binding-dissociation curves. After each cycle of dissociation was completed, the biochip was regenerated by washing with the regeneration solution provided in the human antibody capture reagent kit or a glycine-HCl regeneration solution at pH 1.5 (Cat.#BR-1003-54, GE). The buffer used in the experiment was HBS-EP+10× buffer solution (Cat.#BR-1006-69, GE) diluted to 1× (pH 7.4) with DIWater.
[0132] The experimental data were fitted with the (1:1) Langmuir model by BIAevaluation version 4.1, GE software to obtain affinity values, and the test results are shown in Table 3.
[0133] [Table 3]
[0134] 2. In vitro FXIIa-mediated inhibition of FXI-activating enzyme activity The ability of anti-FXI / FXIa antibodies to bind trypsinogen FXI and block the enzymatic cleavage of FXIIa to FXI was detected.
[0135] A SpectraMax M5 plate reader was set to 37°C in advance, and a 384-well plate was pre-cooled on ice. 10 μL of FXI (12 μg / mL), 10 μL of FXIIa (7.8 μg / mL), 10 μL of FXI / FXIa antibody to be measured (300 μg / mL), and 10 μL of Dextran (100 μg / mL) were added, each diluted with buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% BSA), and incubated at 37°C for 60 min, then placed on ice for 5 min, and 10 μL of S-2366 (8 mM) (Chromogenix, S821090) was added, followed by detection by the plate reader. The results are shown in Figure 1, in which human IgG isotype was used as a negative control (NC).
[0136] 3. Detection of aPTT / PT anticoagulant activity in human blood / monkey blood Fresh human / monkey blood was collected in a sodium citrate tube and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 15 minutes, and the upper layer plasma was removed.
[0137] Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) was measured in the presence of different concentrations of candidate antibodies (diluted in PBS) using a Sysmex reagent kit. The candidate antibodies to be tested were incubated with plasma at 37°C for 3 minutes, and then 25 mM calcium chloride reagent was added to initiate blood clotting, and the time when blood clotting occurred was measured. The concentration (EC50) of the candidate antibodies that prolonged the aPTT by 50% was measured, and the test results of some antibodies are shown in Figure 2A, Figure 3A and Table 4. Among them, 1209 is another anti-FXI / FXIa antibody obtained by screening in this application.
[0138] The Sysmex reagent kit measured the prothrombin time (PT) in the presence of different concentrations of candidate antibodies (diluted in PBS), the candidate antibodies to be tested were incubated with plasma at 37°C for 3 minutes, blood clotting was then initiated by adding thromboplastin, and the time for blood clotting to occur was measured. The test results of some antibodies are shown in Figures 2B and 3B.
[0139] [Table 4]
[0140] 4. In vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) / pharmacodynamic (PD) study in cynomolgus monkeys Normal adult male cynomolgus monkeys (body weight range 4.0 kg to 4.7 kg) were assigned to groups based on body weight (the first, fourth, and fifth weight-heavy monkeys were assigned to one group, and the second, third, and sixth weight-heavy monkeys were assigned to the other group), with three monkeys per group, and observed for 14 days.
[0141] The day before administration, blood samples were collected using sodium citrate blood collection tubes, and aPTT, PT, plasma drug concentration, plasma activated factor XI (FXI) percentage (FXI:C%, i.e., percentage of FXI with blood coagulation activity), and plasma free FXI concentration were measured as pre-administration samples, and the bleeding time of each animal was measured at the same time. Of the two groups of animals, one group was left unadministered as a blank, and the other group was administered 3882 at 5 milligrams per kilogram body weight (mg / kg, mpk). The drug was dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at a concentration of 5 milligrams per milliliter (mg / mL) and administered intravenously.
[0142] In the blank control group, the bleeding time was observed 15 minutes (min) and 3 hours (h) after administration, and plasma was collected according to the above method at 15 min, 3 h, 6 h, and 1 day (d) after administration to observe aPTT and PT. In the administration group, the bleeding time was observed 15 min, 3 h, 2 d, 4 d, 1 week (w), 2 w, and 3 w after administration, and plasma was collected according to the above method at 15 min, 3 h, 6 h, 1 d, 2 d, 4 d, 1 w, 2 w, 3 w, 4 w, 5 w, and 6 w after administration to observe aPTT, PT, plasma drug concentration, plasma FXI:C% and plasma free FXI concentration. In both groups of animals, thrombi were created by AV-shunt 1 d after administration, and the thrombi creation time was 10 min. After the thrombi were created, the net weight of the thrombi was weighed.
[0143] Among them, aPTT, PT and plasma FXI:C% were measured by blood coagulation device and corresponding reagent kit, plasma free FXI concentration and plasma drug concentration were measured by ELISA method. The weight of thrombus was compared between the treatment group and the control group, and statistical analysis was performed by t-test.
[0144] The antibody test results are shown in Figures 4A to 4D, of which the negative control (NC) was not administered. As a result, at 5mpk, the antibody effectively inhibited the formation of thrombus and extended the intrinsic blood coagulation time, but had no significant effect on the animal bleeding time and the extrinsic blood coagulation time. The PK results showed that the half-life was about 20 days.
[0145] 5. In vivo pharmacodynamics (PD) study in cynomolgus monkeys Six normal adult male cynomolgus monkeys (weight range 7kg-9kg) were randomly divided into three groups: BAY1213790 intravenously at 1 mg / kg, BAY3882 intravenously at 1 mg / kg, and BAY3882 subcutaneously at 1 mg / kg. Blood samples were collected in sodium citrate blood collection tubes from animals in the intravenous group before and 5min, 1h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 5d, 1w, 2w, 3w, and 4w after administration, and from animals in the subcutaneous group before and 1h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 5d, 1w, 2w, 3w, and 4w after administration, and aPTT and plasma FXI:C% were measured using a blood coagulation apparatus and corresponding reagent kits.
[0146] The test results are shown in Figures 5A and 5B. As a result, both subcutaneous and intravenous administration of 3882 can significantly prolong the intrinsic blood clotting time and inhibit the activity of FXI. Compared with BAY1213790 at the same dose, 3882 maintained the prolongation of the intrinsic blood clotting time for a longer period and had a stronger inhibitory effect on FXI.
[0147] >BAY1213790 heavy chain: [ka] >BAY1213790 light chain: [ka]
[0148] The anti-FXI / FXIa antibody in Examples 4 to 9 is 3882, whose heavy chain sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:21 and whose light chain sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:22.
[0149] Example 4. Screening of pH value of buffer system for anti-FXI / FXIa antibody formulation The buffers in Table 5 were prepared, and an antibody formulation with an anti-FXI / FXIa antibody concentration of 120 mg / mL was prepared. Samples were then taken and examined for high temperature (40°C), shaking, and freeze-thaw stability.
[0150] [Table 5-1] [Table 5-2]
[0151] Note: C=colorless, CL=clear, WO=slightly opalescent, SO=strongly opalescent, P+ (few particles), P++ (many particles), P+++ (large amount of particles) According to the appearance results, after 5D shaking, no particles were produced in any of the formulations, and after 5 cycles of freezing and thawing, particles were produced in all of the formulations, of which the 10 mM acetic acid-sodium acetate pH 4.5 and pH 5.0 systems, the 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5 system, and the 10 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate pH 7.0 system produced relatively few particles. After 15D at 40°C, particles were produced in the appearance of all of the formulations, and the 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5 and 10 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate pH 7.0 systems produced fewer particles than the other two systems.
[0152] According to the results of SEC (Figure 6A), in the case of 40°C-15D, the aggregates of all the formulations were increased. In the case of 40°C-15D, within the pH range of 4.5-6.5, the SEC aggregates were obviously reduced with increasing pH. In the case of 40°C-15D, when the pH was increased from 8.0 to 8.5, the SEC aggregates were obviously increased. In the case of 40°C-15D, when the pH was between 6.0-8.0, the SEC aggregates were increased by <2.5% compared to T0, which was within the acceptable range.
[0153] According to the results of NRCE (Figure 6B), in the case of 40°C-15D, the NRCE purity decreased, and in the 10 mM Tris-HCl system, the NRCE purity clearly decreased with increasing pH (pH 7.5 to 8.5), while there was no clear difference in NRCE purity in other buffer systems in the pH range of 4.5 to 7.5.
[0154] According to the results of iCIEF (FIG. 6C), in the same buffer system, the acidic peak was clearly enhanced with increasing pH.
[0155] Combining the results of appearance, SEC, NRCE and iCIEF, buffer systems of pH 6.5 to 7.5 (histidine-histidine hydrochloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate and Tris-hydrochloric acid systems) are relatively suitable.
[0156] Example 5. Screening of pH, additives and surfactant concentrations in anti-FXI / FXIa antibody formulations In the range of pH 6.5-7.5, 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride, 10 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate-disodium hydrogen phosphate, 10 mM Tris-citric acid and 10 mM Tris-hydrochloric acid buffer systems were selected to prepare preparations containing 120 mg / mL anti-FXI / FXIa antibody, different kinds of additives and different kinds of surfactants. The samples were placed in a 40±2°C, 75±5% RH incubator to examine the stability. The results showed that the 3882 antibody was relatively sensitive to ionic strength, and at high ionic strength, the antibody stability was relatively low and particles were easily generated.
[0157] Buffer systems of 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5, 7.0 and 10 mM Tris-hydrochloride pH 7.0, 7.5 were selected, and formulations containing 60 mg / mL anti-FXI / FXIa antibody, 0.4 mg / mL to 0.8 mg / mL polysorbate 80, and additives of 80 mg / mL sucrose, 100 mM glycine + 40 mg / mL sucrose, or 100 mM proline + 40 mg / mL sucrose were prepared, and their high temperature (40°C), shaking, and freeze-thaw stability were examined: F2) 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5, 0.4 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 80 mg / mL sucrose; F3) 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5, 0.6 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 80 mg / mL sucrose; F4) 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5, 0.8 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 80 mg / mL sucrose, F5) 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5, 0.4 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 100 mM glycine + 40 mg / mL sucrose; F6) 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5, 0.4 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 100 mM proline + 40 mg / mL sucrose; F7) 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 7.0, 0.4 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 80 mg / mL sucrose, F8) 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 7.0, 0.4 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 100 mM proline + 40 mg / mL sucrose; F10) 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.0, 0.4 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 80 mg / mL sucrose, F11) 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.4 mg / mL polysorbate 80, 80 mg / mL sucrose,
[0158] [Table 6-1] [Table 6-2]
[0159] Note: C=colorless, CL=clear, WO=slightly opalescent, SO=strongly opalescent, P(few particles), P+(few particles), P++(many particles), P+++(large amount of particles), According to the appearance results, after 5 cycles of freezing and thawing, all of the 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5 systems produced a large amount of particles, among which the F4 and F6 formulations produced a large amount of particles even after 3D shaking, while F2, F3 and F5 produced no particles after shaking, and none of the 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 7.0 systems (F7 and F8) produced any particles after 3D shaking. After 5 cycles of freezing and thawing, only F7 produced a small amount of particles. At 40°C 2W, only F7 and F8 produced no particles, and all of the remaining formulations produced particles, among which F3 (8% sucrose + 0.06% polysorbate 80), F4 (8% sucrose + 0.08% polysorbate 80), F5 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F6 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F7 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F8 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F9 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F10 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F11 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F12 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 80), F13 (100 mM Gly + 4% sucrose + 0.04% polysorbate 8 At 40°C and 1M, all of the formulations produced particles, while F7 and F8 formulations were still well expressed, with F7 formulation producing a small amount of particles and F8 producing a few particles. The 10mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 7.0 system was obviously superior to the 10mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride pH 6.5 and 10mM Tris-HCl systems. At 40°C and 1M, all of the formulations F2 to F6 produced a large amount of particles, indicating that the addition of glycine, proline and the increase in the concentration of polysorbate 80 did not have any obvious improvement on the appearance.
[0160] According to the results of SEC (Figure 7A), under the conditions of freezing, thawing and shaking, the SEC had no obvious difference compared to T0. After high temperature, the SEC of different formulations all decreased compared to T0. There was no obvious difference between the formulations F2 to F8 (10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride system), and the SEC purity of the formulations F10 and F11 (10 mM Tris-hydrochloride system) was slightly higher than that of the 10 mM histidine-histidine hydrochloride system.
[0161] According to the results of NRCE (Figure 7B), under the conditions of freezing, thawing and shaking, the NRCE had no obvious difference compared to T0.
