Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the development and use of T cell adaptor therapeutics, particularly those that bind to BCMA and CD3. The present invention relates to bispecific antibodies and uses thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily and is widely expressed on the surface of myeloma cells. In normal tissues, it is expressed only on plasma cells, but also on naive B cells, CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, and BCMA is not expressed in the cytoplasm of the B cell and other normal tissues. BCMA-deficient mice exhibit normal B cell development and proliferation. In samples from multiple myeloma patients, the ligand APRIL (A Pro BCMA binds to the BCMA and then binds to the bone marrow. It can inhibit tumor cell apoptosis while stimulating the growth and proliferation of myeloma cells. The expression level on malignant plasma cells is significantly higher than that on normal plasma cells. BCMA has become an important immunotherapeutic target.
[0003] Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy and occurs most frequently in middle-aged and elderly people. The accumulation of malignant proliferating plasma cells in the patient's bone marrow leads to bone marrow failure and immune dysfunction. This can lead to multiple osteolytic lesions, hypercalcemia, anemia, and kidney damage. In recent years, new drugs such as proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulators, and targeted antibodies have Although it significantly extends patient survival, nearly all patients still relapse. Novel therapeutic methods, such as CAR-T cells (chimeric antigen receptor T cells), The preparation process for HIV-1 receptor T-cells is complicated, the treatment costs are high, and recurrence is common. The rate is relatively high. ADCs (anticoagulants, anticoagulants) are available at low clinical doses due to the safety of the conjugated toxins. Dose-limited. Previously developed BCMA bispecific antibodies have shown excellent clinical results. Although it showed a good therapeutic effect, side effects also increased with increasing dose, and a strong cytokine stagnation occurred. This can lead to life-threatening neurological syndrome in patients. Therefore, new, safer and more effective drugs need to be developed.
[0004] T cell bispecific antibodies (also called T cell adaptors) bind to target cells at one end. It recognizes cell surface antigens (antigen arms) and binds to the T cell CD3 receptor (CD3 arms) at the other end. This is an antibody molecule that targets the CD3ε chain. Uses the body to aggregate CD3 on T cells in a manner similar to TCR / peptide / HLA This activates T cells and kills tumors. It targets BCMA expressed on myeloma cells and the CD3ε chain (CD3e) present on T cells. It is a T cell bispecific (TCB) antibody that targets BCMA and CD3. Mechanism of action of BCMA×CD3 bispecific molecules It simultaneously binds to BCMA+ myeloma cells and CD3+ T cells, promoting T cell activation and T cell proliferation. This includes causing cell-mediated cell killing.
[0005] During a normal immune response, TCRs react with low affinity (approximately 1-100 μM) to infection or sudden The exogenous peptide binds to the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex on the mutated cells and is activated by CD3. It transmits activation signals into the nucleus, and then activates transcription factors and their downstream proteins (cytokines, glutamate, etc.). This activates the expression of proteins such as ribozymes and perforins, and enhances the signal strength generated by the TCR complex. The degree of signaling determines the fate of the T cell. The ε, γ, δ, and ζ subunits of the signaling complex , which associate with each other to form CD3ε-γ heterodimers, CD3ε-δ heterodimers, and CD3ζ Many of the early CD3 bispecific antibodies developed were OKT 3, which are based on a small number of mouse-derived antibodies, such as L2K, UCHT1, and TR66; Relatively high affinity. Clinical studies have shown that CD3 antibodies with too high an affinity can cause T-cell This leads to excessive activation of the cells, releasing a large number of cytokines and causing cytokine storm syndrome. The high affinity of the antibody leads to the concentration of the bispecific antibody in secondary lymphoid organs. The ability of the antibody Fc portion to bind to Fcγ receptors increases drug safety. Another factor that influences immune responses is Fcγ receptors, which are expressed on a wide variety of normal tissues. Therefore, bispecific antibodies bind to Fcγ receptors on the cell membrane via the Fc domain and then bind to the other end of the Fc domain. The combined CD3 receptors are cross-linked and activated by aggregation of Fcγ receptors, resulting in severe off-target reactions. These drugs, for example, have been shown to cause adverse drug reactions, such as steroid steroids, which are often associated with steroid toxicity. ab) The Fc segment binds to Fcγ receptors expressed on hepatic Kupffer cells, resulting in rapid It induces rapid cytokine release. It is a human IgG2 subunit with weak binding ability to Fcγ receptors. IgG1 or IgG2 subtype, or further amino acid substitutions at the corresponding sites in CH2. For example, Armour et al. Substitution of (EU sequence number) with the corresponding sequence of IgG2 reduces binding to Fcγ receptors (Armour KL, et al, Recombinant human IgG molecules lacking Fcgamma receptor I bin ding and monocyte triggering activities, Eur J Immunol.1999 Aug;29(8):2613-24), Ne introduced the mutations Ser228Pro and Leu235Glu into IgG4. This stabilizes the IgG4 structure and reduces binding to Fcγ receptors (New man R,et al,Modification of the Fc regio n of a primatized IgG antibody to human CD4 retains its ability to modulate CD4 receptors but does not deplete CD4(+) T cells in chimpanzees.Clin Immunol.2001 F eb;98(2):164-74), Idusogie et al. 2. By substituting Pro329 or Pro331 with Ala, the complement of IgG1 is improved. We found that it can reduce binding to C1q (Idusogie EE, et al,Mapping of the C1q binding site on ri tuxan,a chimeric antibody with a human I gG1 Fc. J Immunol.2000 Apr 15;164(8):417 8-84).

[0028] "Substitutional" variants are those in which at least one amino acid residue in a native sequence has been removed and its corresponding amino acid residue has been removed. A variant is one in which a different amino acid is inserted at the same position in the molecule. A single substitution where only one amino acid is substituted, or two or more amino acid substitutions in the same molecule. Multiple substitutions may occur at consecutive positions. The amino acid may be replaced by multiple residues, and such variants include both substitutions and insertions. "Insertional" variants are variants in which one or more amino acids are substituted for an amino acid at a particular position in the native sequence. The term "directly adjacent" refers to a mutant inserted adjacent to an amino acid. This means that the linker is attached to an α-carboxyl or α-amino functional group. A deletion variant is a variant in which one or more amino acids in the native amino acid sequence have been removed. The variants are those lacking one or two amino acids in a particular region of the molecule.
[0029] With respect to the variable domain of an antibody, the term "variable" refers to the specific antibody directed against a particular target. Identification of related molecules that differ significantly in sequence among antibodies used for specific recognition and binding of However, the variability is not evenly distributed throughout the variable domains of antibodies. The variability is found in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) within all light- and heavy-chain variable domains. It consists of three segments called CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3) or hypervariable regions. The more highly conserved parts of the variable domains are concentrated in the framework. The variable domains of each naturally occurring heavy and light chain are called framework sequences (FR) regions. The main domains are four domains connected by three CDRs and mainly adopt a β-sheet configuration. The CDRs form a loop connecting the β-sheet structure, the loop comprising: In some cases, they form part of a β-sheet structure. The CDRs of each chain are usually bounded by the FR regions. The CDRs from the other chain form the target binding site (epitope) of the antibody. As used herein, the amino acid residues of immunoglobulins contribute to the formation of a specific peptide or determinant. Numbering follows the immunoglobulin amino acid residue numbering scheme of Kabat et al. unless otherwise noted. A CDR may have the ability to specifically bind to a related epitope. .
[0030] As used herein, an "antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody is less than full-length. The variable region (e.g., one or more CDRs and / or one The antibody fragments may contain at least a portion of the full-length antibody (or multiple antibody binding sites) to enhance binding specificity and enhance the full-length antibody fragments. It refers to any portion of a full-length antibody that retains at least a portion of its specific binding ability. Thus, an antigen-binding fragment is an antigen-binding portion that binds to the same antigen as the antibody from which the antibody fragment is derived. Antibody fragments refer to antibody derivatives produced by enzyme-catalyzed treatment of full-length antibodies, including: as well as synthetically produced derivatives, e.g., recombinantly produced derivatives. , antibody fragments. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, single chain Fv (scFv), Fv, dsFv, diabodies, Fd, and Fd' fragments and modifications Other fragments include, but are not limited to, fragments of the lysosome. The antibody may comprise multiple chains linked by sulfide bonds and / or peptide linkers. Fragments generally contain more than or about 50 amino acids, typically 200 The antigen-binding fragment contains at least 200 amino acids or about 200 amino acids. When inserted into a gene (e.g., by replacing the corresponding region), it is immunospecific (i.e., A Ka of at least 10 to 10 M or a Ka of at least about 10 to 10 M The term "functional fragment" or "antibody fragment" includes any antibody fragment that provides an antibody that binds to an antigen (as shown). "CMA antibody analogs" refer to antibodies that inhibit the ability of the receptor to bind to a ligand or initiate signal transduction.

It is formed by the non-covalent association of one heavy chain variable domain and one light chain variable domain. In this configuration, the VH-VL dimer is the same as that of an intact antibody. Similarly, the three CDRs of each variable domain interact to form target binding sites on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. The six CDRs confer target binding specificity to the intact antibody. However, a single variable domain (or a polypeptide containing only three target-specific CDRs) Even half of the Fv) can still function to recognize and bind to the target.
