AI Technical Summary
Existing treatments for diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other inflammatory conditions are limited by their inability to address multiple inter-talking signaling pathways, particularly involving cytokines and growth factors, leading to ineffective monospecific therapies and resistance to treatments like anti-VEGF therapies.
Development of multivalent antibody fusions, specifically bispecific molecules that utilize the natural dimer interface between heavy and light chain variable regions of antibodies, linking receptor domains to these regions to create homodimer- or heterodimer-based traps, enabling simultaneous blocking of cytokines, growth factors, and HTRA1 to reduce inflammation and defective angiogenesis.
The bispecific molecules effectively inhibit multiple signaling pathways, reducing inflammation and angiogenesis, offering a potential treatment for AMD and other inflammatory diseases by targeting interleukins, TNFα, and VEGF, with the option of half-life extension through biopolymer conjugation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] Provided herein are multivalent antibody fusions, methods for their production, and methods for their use. Some aspects of the present disclosure relate to trap-based bispecific molecules and methods for producing trap-based bispecific molecules. In some embodiments, one or more of the multivalent antibody fusions and / or trap-based bispecific molecules can be used to effectively treat diseases with multiple causative signaling pathways. In some embodiments, the disease is eye inflammation or ocular inflammation.
[0019] Growth factors (GFs) and cytokines act in an intracrine, autocrine, or VEGF mediates important intercellular communication in a paracrine and paracrine manner. GFs and cytokines regulate cellular activities, including proliferation, differentiation, and migration, which ultimately result in various biological responses, such as tissue development, tissue homeostasis, and immune function; Kany S, Vollrath JT, Relja B. 2019. “Cytokines in Inflammatory Disease.” Int. J. Mol. Sci. 20: 6008-; Apte RS, Chen DS, Ferrara N. 2019. “VEGF in Signaling and Disease: Beyond Discovery and Development.”Cell 176: 1248-1264; Ren X, Zhao M, Lash B, Martino MM, Julier Z. 2020. “Growth Factor Engineering Strategies for Regenerative Medicine Applications.” Front. Bioeng. Biotechnol. 7. A common signaling mechanism utilized by GFs and cytokines involves the homo- or heteromultimerization of cognate receptors on the surface of responding cells upon ligand binding, triggering activation and downstream intracellular signaling; Atanasova M, Whitty A. 2012. “Understanding cytokine and growth factor receptor activation mechanisms.” Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Biol. 47: 502-530. Receptors are transmembrane proteins; the extracellular domain (ECD) region recognizes and binds the ligand, while the intracellular portion exhibits intrinsic kinase activity or contains an “adapter” domain that interacts with kinases; Grotzinger J. 2002. “Molecular mechanisms of cytokine receptor activation.” Biochim. Biophys. Acta. Mol. Cell. Res. 1592: 215-223; Wang X, Lupardus P, LaPorte SL, Garcia KC. 2009. Structural Biology of Shared Cytokine Receptors. Annu. Rev. Anal. Chem. (Palo. Alto. Calif). 27: 29-60.
[0020] Cytokine dysregulation is associated with a myriad of health problems, including inflammatory diseases, age-related diseases, and cancer; Turner MD, Nedjai B, Hurst T, Pennington DJ. 2014. “Cytokines and chemokines: At the crossroads of cell signaling and inflammatory disease.” Biochim. Biophys. Acta. Mol. Cell. Res. 1843: 2563-2582; Rea IM, Gibson DS, McGILligan V, McNerlan SE, Alexander HD, Ross OA. 2018. “Age and Age-Related Diseases: Role of Inflammation Triggers and Cytokines.” Front. Immunol. 9; Morris RM, Mortimer TO, O'Neill KL. 2022. "Cytokines: Can Cancer Get the Message?" Cancers 14: 2178-. Cytokine-targeted therapy has shown clinical benefits. The molecular design of various drugs is based on the Fc-fusion format, in which an intact ECD domain is fused to the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of immunoglobulin G (IgG); Economides AN, Carpenter LR, Rudge JS, Wong V, Koehler-Stec EM, Hartnett C, Pyles EA, Xu X, Daly TJ, Young MR, et al. 2002. “Cytokine traps: multi-component, high-af finity blockers of cytokine action.” Nat. Med. 9: 47-52; Scott LJ. 2014. “Etanercept: A Review of Its Use in Autoimmune Inflammatory Diseases.” Drugs 74: 1379-1410; Sophie R, Akhtar A, Sepah YJ, Ibrahim M, Bittencourt M, Do DV, Nguyen QD. 2012. “Aflibercept: a Potent Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Antagonist for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Other Retinal Vascular Diseases.” Biol. Ther. 2. The Fc portion forms dimers through interdomain interactions and is further stabilized by interchain disulfide bridges. This, in turn, positions the receptors in close proximity, allowing the ECD domains to dimerize and bind to their targets with high affinity (trapping mechanism).
[0021] Bispecific antibodies have been shown to be a promising strategy for overcoming some of the fundamental limitations of monospecific antibody therapy, which cannot address the multiple inter-talking signaling pathways underlying target diseases. Although efforts have been made to address the immunogenicity, chain mismatching, and manufacturing scalability issues associated with multivalent molecules, there remains a need for the development of bispecific formats that effectively address these issues; Brinkmann U, Kontermann RE. 2017. "The making of bispecific antibodies." mAbs 9: 182-212; Godar et Godar M, de Haard H, Blanchetot C, Rasser J. 2018. "Therapeutic bispecific antibody formats: a patent applications review" (1994-2017). Expert. Opin. Ther. Pat. 28: 251-276. Thus, some aspects of the present disclosure relate to multivalent antibody fusions, methods for their production, and methods for their use.
[0022] Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to trap-based bispecific molecules that utilize the natural dimer interface between the heavy chain variable (VH) and light chain variable (VL) regions present in antibodies. In this format, the receptor domain is linked in tandem to the VH and VL regions. This configuration positions the ECD in a favorable orientation for ligand binding. The heterodimeric nature of the VH:VL pairing allows for the design of homodimer- or heterodimer-based traps without further engineering (e.g., Fc knob-in-hole), while the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) enable binding of a second target of interest.
[0023] Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly population. AMD is a complex disease with multiple etiological factors and no effective treatment is available; Fleckenstein M, Keenan TDL, Guymer RH, Chakravarthy U, Schmitz-Walckenberg S, Klaver CC, Wong WT, Chew EY. 2021; “Age-related macular degeneration.” Nat. Rev. Dis. Primers. 7. Research suggests that GFs and cytokines are involved in the development and progression of AMD. Inhibition of VEGF-A has been proven to effectively treat neovascularization and delay disease progression (Song D, Liu P, Shang K, Ma Y. 2022. “Application and mechanism of anti-VEGF drugs in age-related macular degeneration.” Front. Bioeng. Biotec hnol. 10), but do not address the underlying immune factors that may be associated with anti-VEGF treatment resistance. Currently, there are no effective treatments for the primary form of AMD (dry AMD), also known as geographic atrophy, which accounts for approximately 90% of cases. Genetic risk factors and a dysregulated inflammatory response create a complex interplay of signaling pathways, which likely hinders the development of effective monospecific therapies.
[0024] Overall, cytokines have been shown to play a pivotal role in the development of retinal diseases. Patients with AMD have been reported to have elevated serum levels of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6). IL-6 has been observed to stimulate defective angiogenesis, which may be an indirect result of IL-6-mediated upregulation of VEGF expression. Furthermore, more direct functions of IL-6, such as endothelial cell proliferation and migration, have been reported in the presence of VEGF inhibitors, indicating that IL-6 angiogenic signaling occurs independently of VEGF. Other studies have shown that retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells release IL-1α upon death or under stress conditions, which may contribute to the recruitment of immune cells. Therefore, IL-1β production by activated microglial and macrophage cells may promote further macrophage recruitment to affected tissues, leading to photoreceptor and RPE cell death. Wooff Y, Man SM, Aggio-Bruce R, Natoli R, Fernando N. 2019. “IL-1 Family Members Mediate Cell Death, Inflammation and Angiogenesis in Retinal Degenerative Diseases.” Front. Immunol. 10.
[0025] Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a locus on human chromosome 10q26 associated with AMD risk, where two genes, ARMS2 and HTRA1, are located in close proximity to each other. These studies suggest a correlation between disease progression and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the promoter region of HTRA1, resulting in increased HTRA1 expression. DeWan A, Liu M, Hartman S, Zhang SS-M, Liu DTL, Zhao C, Tam POS, Chan WM, Lam DSC, Snyder M, et al. 2006. “HTRA1 Promoter Polymorphism in Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration.” Science 314: 989-992; Yang Z, Camp NJ, Sun H, Tong Z, Gibbs D, Cameron DJ, Chen H, Zhao Y, Pearson E, Li Gorski M, et al. 2015. “A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants.” Nat. Genet. 48: 134-143. High-temperature requirement A1 (HTRA1) is a serine protease known to cleave multiple extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and TGF-β family members; Lu ZG, May A, Dinh B, Lin V, Su F, Tran C, Adivikolanu H, Ehlen R, Che B, Wang ZH, et al. 2021. “The interplay of oxidati ive stress and ARMS2-HTRA1 genetic risk in neovascular AMD.” Vessel. Plus. 2021. It is hypothesized that cleavage of specific ECM proteins contributes to the accumulation of extracellular debris, which in turn sensitizes cells to inflammatory stimuli; Beguier F, Housset M, Roubeix C, Augustin S, Zagar Y, Nous C, Mathis T, Eandi C, Benchaboune M, Drame-Maigne A, et al. 2020. “The 10q26 Risk Haplotype of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Aggravates Subretinal Inflammation by Impairing Monocyte Elimination.” Immunity 53: 429-441.e8; Lin MK, Yang J, Hsu CW, Gore A, Bassuk AG, Brown LM, Colligan R, SengILlo JD, Mahajan VB, Tsang SH. 2018. "HTRA1, an age-related macular degeneration protease, processes extracellular matrix proteins EFEMP1 and TSP1. Aging. Cell. 17: e12710-". HTRA1 has also been shown to induce expression of inflammatory cytokines and VEGF, and overexpression of HTRA1 in the retina of a mouse model recapitulates key physiological markers of AMD. These data support the finding that HTRA1 risk alleles show strong and similar associations with wet and dry AMD.
[0026] In some embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to reducing the concurrent inflammation and defective angiogenesis that drive the pathogenesis of AMD.
[0027] In some embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to reducing inflammation of the eye or ocular inflammation.
[0028] Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to bispecific molecules that simultaneously block a combination of cytokines, GFs, and HTRA1 to reduce the concurrent inflammation and defective angiogenesis that drive the pathogenesis of AMD.

Bispecific molecules were constructed using a heterodimeric trap fusion design to the VH and VL domains. Additionally, tandem Fab versions of anti-IL-6 were also created with an IL-1 trap (heterodimer) and a VEGF trap (homodimer). Each of these dual inhibitor molecules has the option of containing an unpaired cysteine at its C-terminal region, which can be conjugated to a phosphorylcholine-based biopolymer for half-life extension. In some embodiments, the bispecific molecule comprises a TNFα inhibitor. In some embodiments, the TNFα inhibitor comprises a TNFα trap. In some embodiments, the TNFα inhibitor comprises a TNFα VHH.
[0030] definition As used herein, the term "interleukin" (IL) refers to one or more of a group of related proteins made by leukocytes (white blood cells) and other cells in the body. Interleukins are a type of cytokine that regulates immune responses.
[0031] As used herein, the term "cytokine" refers to a small protein, polypeptide, or peptide involved in inflammatory signaling, or a protein produced by one cell population that acts on another cell as an intercellular mediator or that has an autocrine effect on the cell that produces it.Cytokines include chemokines, interferons, interleukins, lymphokines, monokines, tumor necrosis factors, CCL1, CCl2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CCL6, CCL7, CCL8, CCL9, CCL11, CCL12, CCL13, CCL14, CCL15, CCL16, CCL17, CCL18, CCL19, CCL20, CCL21, CCL22, CCL23, CCL24, CCL25, CCL26, CCL27, CCL28, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL4, CXCL5, CXCL6, CXCL7, CXCL8, CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL12, CXCL13, CXCL14, CXCL15, CXCL16, CXCL17, CX3CL1 , XCL1, XCL2, INFα, INFβ, INFγ, IL-1, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, I L-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12, IL-13, IL-14, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17, IL-17A-F, IL-18, IL-19, IL- 20, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, IL-24, IL-25, IL-26, IL-27, IL-28, IL-29, IL-30, IL-31, IL-32, IL-33, IL-34, IL-35, IL-36Ra, IL-36α, IL-36β, IL-36γ, IL-37, IL-38, GM-CSF, TNFα, TNFβ, TNFγ, TGF-I-3 Examples of such proteins include, but are not limited to, TNFSF4, TNFSF5, TNFSF6, TNFSF7, TNFSF8, TNFSF9, TNFSF10, TNFSF11, TNFSF12, TNFSF13, TNFSF13B, TNFSF14, TNFSF15, TNFSF18, or TNFSF19, leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), CNTF-like cytokine (CLC), cardiotrophin (CT), Kit ligand (KL), or any combination thereof.
[0032] As used herein, the terms "valence," "valency," or "valent" refer to the relative ability of a substance (e.g., an antibody) to act on, react with, or bind to a biological substrate (e.g., an antigen); the number of antigen binding sites an antibody has, or the number of antigenic determinants an antigen has. In some embodiments, valency refers to the number of binding sites on a molecule. In some embodiments, valency refers to the property of an atom or radical that describes the binding strength of the atom or radical, particularly in terms of the number of hydrogen atoms. In some embodiments, the substance or molecule is zerovalent, nonvalent, monovalent, univalent, divalent, bivalent, trivalent, tervalent, tetravalent, quadrivalent, pentavalent, quinquevalent, quinquivalent, hexavalent, sexivalent, heptavalent, septivalent, octavalent, nonavalent, decavalent, dodecavalent, polyvalent, or multivalent.
[0033] The term "antibody" includes intact antibodies and binding fragments thereof. A binding fragment refers to a molecule distinct from an intact antibody, which contains a portion of an intact antibody that binds to the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of binding fragments include Fv, Fab, Fab-SH, F(ab')2; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., , scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. scFv antibodies are described in Houston JS. 1991. Methods in Enzymol. 203:46-96. Furthermore, antibody fragments include single-chain polypeptides having characteristics of a VH domain or region, i.e., which assembles with a VL domain or region to form a functional antigen-binding site, thereby providing the antigen-binding characteristics of a full-length antibody, or characteristics of a VL domain or region, i.e., which assembles with a VH domain or region to form a functional antigen-binding site, thereby providing the antigen-binding characteristics of a full-length antibody. The terms "domain" and "region" are used interchangeably.
[0034] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment (Fab fragment)" refers to an antibody fragment that binds to an antigen. A Fab fragment contains one constant domain and one variable domain from each of the heavy and light chains.
[0035] The term "VHH domain," also known as VHH, VHH domain, VHH antibody fragment, and VHH antibody, was originally described as the antigen-binding immunoglobulin (Ig) (variable) domain of a "heavy chain antibody" (i.e., an antibody lacking light chains; Hamers-Casterman et al. (1993) Nature 363: 446-448). The term "VHH domain" was chosen to distinguish these variable domains from the heavy chain variable domains (referred to herein as "VH domains") and light chain variable domains (referred to herein as "VL domains") present in conventional four-chain antibodies. For further description of VHHs and nanobodies, see the review article by Muyldermans (Reviews in Molecular Biotechnology 74: 277-302, 2001).
[0036] An antibody specifically binds to its target antigen by at least 10 6 M -1, at least 10 7 M -1 , at least 10 8 M -1 , at least 10 9 M -1 , or at least 10 10 M -1 Specific binding means that the antibody or fusion protein has an affinity of at least 100%. Specific binding is detectably high and distinguishable in magnitude from nonspecific binding that occurs to at least one unrelated target. Specific binding can be the result of bond formation between specific functional groups or a specific spatial fit (e.g., lock-and-key type), whereas nonspecific binding is usually the result of van der Waals forces. However, specific binding does not necessarily mean that the antibody or fusion protein binds only to one target.
[0037] The basic antibody structural unit is a tetramer of subunits. Each tetramer contains two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair consisting of one "light" chain (approximately 25 kDa) and one "heavy" chain (approximately 50-70 kDa). The amino-terminal portion of each chain contains a variable region or variable domain of approximately 100-110 or more amino acids, primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The terms "domain" and "region" are used interchangeably. This variable region is initially expressed linked to a cleavable signal peptide. A variable region without a signal peptide is sometimes referred to as a mature variable region. Thus, for example, a light chain mature variable region refers to a light chain variable region without the light chain signal peptide. However, the term "variable region" does not necessarily imply the presence of a signal sequence; in fact, the signal sequence is cleaved upon expression and secretion of the antibody or fusion protein. The pair of heavy and light chain variable regions defines the binding region of the antibody. The carboxy-terminal portions of the light and heavy chains define the light-chain constant region and the heavy-chain constant region, respectively. The heavy-chain constant region is primarily responsible for effector functions. In IgG antibodies, the heavy-chain constant region is divided into CH1, hinge, CH2, and CH3 regions. The CH1 region is linked to the light-chain constant region by disulfide bonds and non-covalent bonds. The hinge region is responsible for the binding of the antibody. The CH2 and CH3 regions provide flexibility between the binding and effector domains and also provide sites for intermolecular disulfide bonding between the two heavy chain constant domains within the tetrameric subunit. The CH2 and CH3 regions are the primary sites of effector function and binding to FcRs (i.e., FcRn and FcRγ).
[0038] Light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. Heavy chains are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, and define the antibody's isotype as IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, respectively. Within light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are joined by a "J" segment of about 12 or more amino acids, with the heavy chain also containing a "D" segment of about 10 or more amino acids. (For a review, see Fundamental Immunology (Paul, W., ed., 2nd ed. Raven Press, NY, 1989), Ch. 7) (incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes).
[0039] The mature variable regions of each light / heavy chain pair form the antibody binding site. Thus, an intact antibody has two binding sites, i.e., is bivalent. In natural antibodies, the binding sites are identical. However, bispecific antibodies, in which the two binding sites are different, can also be produced (e.g., Songsiv I Lai S, Lachmann PC. 1990). Bispecific antibody: a tool for diagnosis and treatment of disease. Clin Exp Immunol. 79:315-321; Kostelny SA, Cole MS, Tso JY. 1992. Formation of bispecific antibody by the use of leucine zippers. J Immunol. 148: 1547-1553). All variable regions exhibit the same overall structure, with relatively conserved framework regions (FR) connected by three hypervariable regions (also called complementarity-determining regions or CDRs). The CDRs from the two chains of each pair are aligned by the framework regions, enabling binding to a specific epitope. From the N-terminus to the C-terminus, both light and heavy chains comprise the FR1 domain, CDR1 domain, FR2 domain, CDR2 domain, FR3 domain, CDR3 domain, and FR4 domain. For convenience, the variable heavy chain CDRs are referred to as CDRs. H 1. CDR H 2, and CDR H 3, and the variable light chain CDRs are CDRs L 1. CDR L 2, and CDR LThe amino acid sequence of each domain is sometimes referred to as "domain 3." The amino acid assignment for each domain follows the definitions in Kabat EA, et al. 1987 and 1991. Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) or Chothia C, Lesk AM. 1987. Canonical Structures for the Hypervariable Regions of Immunoglobulins. J Mol Biol 196:901-917; Chothia C, et al. 1989. Conformations of Immunoglobulin Hypervariable Regions. Nature 342:877-883. Kabat also provides a widely used numbering scheme (Kabat numbering) in which corresponding residues between different heavy chain variable regions or different light chain variable regions are assigned the same number. While Kabat numbering can be used for antibody constant regions, EU numbering is more commonly used, and is the case herein. Although specific sequences are provided for the exemplary antibodies disclosed herein, it will be understood that after expression of the protein chains, one to several amino acids at the amino or carboxy termini of the light and / or heavy chains, particularly the lysine residue at the C-terminus of the heavy chain, may be deleted or derivatized in part or all of the molecule.
[0040] The term "epitope" refers to a region on an antigen to which an antibody or extracellular trap segment binds. Epitopes on proteins can be formed from contiguous amino acids or from non-contiguous amino acids juxtaposed by one or more tertiary structural foldings of a protein. Epitopes formed from contiguous amino acids (also known as linear epitopes) are typically retained upon exposure to denaturing solvents, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary structural folding (also known as conformational epitopes) are typically lost upon treatment with denaturing solvents. Epitopes typically contain at least three, more commonly at least five or eight to ten, amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. Methods for determining the spatial conformation of epitopes include, for example, X-ray crystallography and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance. See, for example, Epitope Mapping Protocols, in Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 66, Glenn E. See Morris, Ed. (1996).
[0041] Antibodies that recognize the same or overlapping epitopes can be identified by a simple immunoassay showing the ability of one antibody to compete with the binding of another antibody to a target antigen. An antibody's epitope can also be defined by identifying contact residues by X-ray crystallography of the antibody (or Fab fragment) bound to its antigen.
[0042] Alternatively, two antibodies have the same epitope if all amino acid mutations in the antigen that reduce or eliminate binding of one antibody also reduce or eliminate binding of the other. Two antibodies have overlapping epitopes if some amino acid mutations that reduce or eliminate binding of one antibody also reduce or eliminate binding of the other.
[0043] Competition between antibodies is measured by an assay in which a test antibody inhibits the specific binding of a reference antibody to a common antigen (see, e.g., Junghans et al., Cancer Res. 50: 1495, 1990). A test antibody competes with a reference antibody if an excess of the test antibody (e.g., at least 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, or 100-fold) inhibits binding of the reference antibody by at least 50%. In some embodiments, the test antibody inhibits binding of the reference antibody by 75%, 90%, or 99%, as measured in a competitive binding assay. Antibodies identified by a competition assay (competing antibodies) include antibodies that bind to the same epitope as the reference antibody and antibodies that bind to an adjacent epitope that is sufficiently close to the epitope bound by the reference antibody to sterically hinder it.
[0044] As used herein, the term "trap" or similar terms refers to a molecule comprising a binding domain or fragment thereof that enables the molecule to function as a trap and prevents proteins or other molecules from binding to receptors or other binding partners expressed on cells. Various embodiments of trap proteins are known in the art and can be found, for example, in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20150376271, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference with respect to various trap embodiments and fusions thereof. In some embodiments, the term "trap" or similar terms refers to a molecule comprising a full-length extracellular region or any portion thereof, or a combination of portions from different molecules, that is capable of antagonizing signaling between at least one molecule and another molecule.
[0045] As used herein, "HTRA1" refers to HtrA serine protease. HTRA1 may refer to, but is not limited to, human HTRA1 (Gene ID: 5654), mouse HTRA1 (Gene ID: 56213), rat HTRA1 (Gene ID: 65164), dog HTRA1 (Gene ID: 477852), chicken HTRA1 (Gene ID: 100857572), or bovine HTRA1 (Gene ID: 282326). In some embodiments, HTRA1 refers to human HTRA1 ("HTRA1"). uHTRA1).
[0046] "aHTRA1" and "anti-HTRA1 antibody" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an antibody that binds to HTRA1, as provided herein.
[0047] As used herein, "potency" with respect to an anti-HTRA1 antibody refers to the ability or degree of inhibition of HTRA1 activity (e.g., the proteolytic activity of HTRA1) when the antibody binds to HTRA1.
[0048] As used herein, the terms "IL-6 antibody-HTRA1 trap fusion," "IL-6 antibody-HTRA1 trap," "Ab IL-6-HTRA1 trap," "anti-IL-6-HTRA1 trap," "HTRA-anti-IL6," "HTRA-anti-IL-6," "HTRA1 trap-anti-IL6 antibody fusion (TAF)," "HTRA1 trap-IL6," "HTRA1IL-6," "IL6-HTRA," or similar or reversed terms (e.g., "HTRA1 trap-IL-6 Ab," "HTRA1 trap-IL-6 antibody fusion," etc.) refer to a fusion of an IL-6 antibody and an HTRA1 trap. When used generically, the order of the two terms is interchangeable. When used specifically, the order of the two terms indicates the relative positions of the components in the construct. The terms "IL-6Ab-HTRA1 trap," "Ab IL-6 HTRA1 trap," or "anti-IL-6 HTRA1 trap," "trap-Ab," anti-IL-6-HTRA, anti-IL6-HTRA1, or other similar or reversed terms (e.g., "HTRA1 trap-IL-6Ab," "HTRA1 trap-IL-6 antibody fusion," etc.) refer to a configuration in which an Ab is fused to the relevant domain of an HTRA1 binding protein to provide an HTRA1 trap.
[0049] As described above, this HTRA1 binding protein section prevents HTRA1 from binding to a substrate. As described herein, the arrangement (order) of the trap section and antibody section can be varied. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated explicitly or by context, the phrases used herein with respect to Ab-trap (or HTRA1 / IL-1 trap, IL-6 / IL-1 trap, etc.) fusions refer to all disclosed embodiments of the positioning of the antibody and trap. When an orientation is specifically indicated, this can be indicated, for example, by stating that the "arrangement" can be one of trap-Ab, trap-IL-1Ab, trap-IL-6Ab, or VEGF-trap Ab-IL-6. Similarly, it is understood that the context of some examples herein indicates a particular orientation or arrangement of the molecules. Either arrangement (either alone or in combination) is expressly contemplated in all discussions of fusion proteins provided herein. Furthermore, due to the order relationship, it is understood that the phrase "IL-6Ab" when used in the context of a fusion protein includes both cases where the antibody is contiguous and on the left side, and where the trap is placed "within" the Ab. Again, the term "Ab" or "antibody" (or other similar term) when used in the context of a fusion protein encompasses all three options unless otherwise specified. In some embodiments, the IL-1 trap is fused to IL-6 or HTRA1 in one of the following ways: at the N-terminus of the heavy chain containing the IL-6 or HTRA1 VH; or between the hinge region and the post-CH1 domain of the heavy chain containing the IL-6 or IL-1 VH. When used in a name to designate an antibody or fragment thereof, there is no distinction between the designations Ab, antibody, "anti," or other similar terms. There is no distinction between the designations "IL-6" or "IL6" or "IL-6." There is no distinction between the designations "IL-1" or "IL1" or "IL-1."
[0050] As used herein, the term "vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)" refers to a systemic This refers to the VEGF / PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) group of signaling proteins in the cysteine-knot superfamily of signaling molecules, which has eight conserved cysteine residues forming a cysteine-knot structure. The VEGF family includes VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, PlGF (placental growth factor), VEGF-E (Orf-VEGF), and hub svVEGF. With the exception of the last two members, five genes in the VEGF family are present in mammalian genomes, including humans.
[0051] "aVEGF" and "anti-VEGF antibody" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an antibody that binds to VEGF, as provided herein.
[0052] As used herein, "VEGF Trap" or similar terms refer to the VEGF-binding domain (VEGFR1 domain 2, VEGFR2 domain 3). This fragment enables the protein to function as a trap for VEGF and prevent VEGF from binding to VEGF receptors expressed in cells. In some embodiments, the VEGF Trap includes only VEGFR1 domain 2 and VEGFR2 domain 3. Various embodiments of trap proteins are known in the art and can be found, for example, in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20150376271, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference with respect to various VEGF trap embodiments (VEGFR proteins or fragments thereof) and fusions thereof. In some embodiments, the term "VEGF Trap" or similar terms refers to the full-length extracellular region or any portion thereof, or a combination of portions from different VEGF receptors that can antagonize signaling between at least one VEGF and a VEGFR.
[0053] As used herein, the term "IL trap" or similar terms refers to the interleukin-binding domains of interleukin receptor proteins and accessory proteins. In some embodiments, it refers to only the extracellular domains of interleukin receptor proteins and accessory proteins, or portions thereof. These fragments enable the protein to function as an IL trap and prevent IL from binding to cell-expressed IL receptors. For example, without limitation, the term "IL-1 trap" refers to the three IG-like domains (D1-D3) of the extracellular domain of the IL1R1 receptor protein and the three IG-like domains (D1-D3) of the extracellular IL1-R1A accessory protein. The transmembrane domain and the intracellular Toll / IL-1R (TIR) domain are not required for IL-1 trap function. These fragments enable the protein to function as an IL-1 trap and prevent IL-1 from binding to cell-expressed IL-1 receptors.
[0054] As used herein, the term "TNFα trap" or similar terms refers to the interleukin-binding domain of TNFR1 and / or TNFR2. In some embodiments, the term refers to the extracellular domain of TNFR1 and / or TNFR2. These fragments enable the protein to function as a TNFα trap and prevent TNFα from binding to cell-expressed TNFα receptors.
[0055] As used herein, the terms "IL-6 antibody-VEGF trap fusion," "IL-6 antibody-VEGF trap," "Ab IL-6-VEGF trap," "anti-IL-6-VEGF trap," "VEGFR-anti-IL6," "VEGFR-anti-IL-6," "VEGF trap-anti-IL6 antibody fusion (TAF)," "VEGF trap-IL6," "VEGFR IL-6," "IL6-VEGFR," or similar or reversed terms (e.g., "VEGF trap-IL-6 Ab," "VEGF trap-IL-6 antibody fusion"). The terms "IL-6Ab-VEGF trap," "Ab IL-6 VEGF trap," "Ab IL-6-trap," "anti-IL-6 VEGF trap," anti-IL-6-VEGFR, anti-IL6-VEGFR, or other similar or reversed terms (e.g., "VEGF trap-IL-6Ab," "VEGF trap-IL-6 antibody fusion," etc.) refer to a fusion of an IL-6 antibody and a VEGF trap. When used generically, the order of the two terms can be interchanged. When used specifically, the order of the two terms indicates the relative positions of the components in the construct. The terms "IL-6Ab-VEGF trap," "Ab IL-6 VEGF trap," or "Ab IL-6-trap," or "anti-IL-6 VEGF trap," anti-IL-6-VEGFR, anti-IL6-VEGFR, or other similar or reversed terms (e.g., "VEGF trap-IL-6Ab," "VEGF trap-IL-6 antibody fusion," etc.) refer to a construct in which an Ab is fused to the relevant domain of a VEGF binding protein to provide a VEGF trap. As described above, this VEGF binding protein section prevents VEGF from binding to the VEGF receptor. As described herein, the arrangement (order) of the trap section and antibody section can be changed. Thus, unless indicated otherwise explicitly or by context, the phrases used herein with respect to Ab-trap (or IL-6 / VEGF trap, etc.) fusions refer to all disclosed embodiments of the positioning of the antibody and trap. When an orientation is specifically indicated, it can be indicated, for example, by stating that the "configuration" can be one of: trap IL-6 Ab, VEGF trap Ab IL-6, VEGF trap Ab IL6.
[0056] The term "patient" includes human and other mammalian subjects receiving prophylactic or therapeutic treatment.
[0057] For the purpose of classifying amino acid substitutions as conservative or non-conservative, amino acids are classified as follows: Group I (amino acids with negatively charged side chains): Asp, Glu; Group II (amino acids with positively charged side chains): Arg, His, Lys; Group III (amino acids with polar, uncharged side chains): Ser, Thr, Cys, Pro, Asn, Gln; Group IV (amino acids with non-polar, alipathic side chains): Gly, Ala, Val, Leu, Met, ILe; and Group V (amino acids with non-polar, aromatic side chains): Phe, Tyr, Trp.
[0058] Percent sequence identity is determined by maximally aligning antibody sequences using Kabat numbering for variable regions and EU numbering for constant regions. After alignment, when a test antibody region (e.g., a full-length mature variable region of a heavy or light chain) is compared with the same region of a reference antibody, the percent sequence identity between the test and reference antibody regions is calculated by dividing the number of positions occupied by the same amino acid in both the test and reference antibody regions by the total number of aligned positions of the two regions (not counting gaps), multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage. Sequence identity for other sequences can be determined using algorithms such as BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in Wisconsin Genetics Software Package Release 7.0 (Genetics Computer Group, Inc., 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wisconsin) using default gap parameters, or by inspection and best alignment (i.e., the one resulting in the highest percent sequence similarity over the comparison window). The percentage of sequence identity is calculated by comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a comparison window, determining the number of positions where identical residues occur in both sequences to obtain the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window (i.e., the window size), and multiplying the result by 100 to calculate the percentage of sequence identity.
[0059] A composition or method "comprising" one or more recited elements is not specifically recited. For example, a composition that includes an antibody may include the antibody alone or in combination with other components.
[0060] The term "antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity," or ADCC, is a mechanism for inducing cell death that relies on the interaction of antibody-coated target cells (i.e., antibody-bound cells) with lytic immune cells (also called effector cells). Such effector cells include natural killer cells, monocytes / macrophages, and neutrophils. ADCC is triggered by the interaction between the Fc region of a cell-bound antibody and Fcγ receptors, particularly FcγRI and FcγRIII, on immune effector cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer cells. Target cells are eliminated by phagocytosis or lysis, depending on the type of intervening effector cell. Death of antibody-coated target cells occurs as a result of the activity of effector cells.
[0061] The term "opsonization" (also known as "antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis," or ADCP) refers to the process by which antibody-coated cells are internalized, in whole or in part, by phagocytic immune cells (e.g., macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells) that bind to the immunoglobulin Fc region.
[0062] The term "complement-dependent cytotoxicity" (CDC) refers to a cell death-inducing mechanism in which the Fc effector domain of a target-bound antibody activates a series of enzymatic reactions that ultimately result in the formation of a hole in the target cell membrane. Typically, antigen-antibody complexes, such as those on antibody-coated target cells, bind to and activate complement component C1q, which then activates the complement cascade, leading to target cell death. Complement activation can also result in the deposition of complement components on the target cell surface, which promotes ADCC by binding to complement receptors (e.g., CR3) on leukocytes.
[0063] Humanized antibodies are genetically engineered antibodies in which CDRs from a non-human "donor" antibody are grafted onto human "acceptor" antibody sequences (see, e.g., Queen, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,530,101 and 5,585,089; Winter, U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,539; Carter, U.S. Pat. No. 6,407,213; Adair, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,859,205 and 6,881,557; Foote, U.S. Pat. No. 6,881,557). The acceptor antibody sequences can be, for example, mature human antibody sequences, a composite of such sequences, a consensus sequence of human antibody sequences, or germline region sequences. Thus, a humanized antibody is an antibody that has all or substantially some or all of the CDRs from the donor antibody, and all or substantially the variable region framework sequences and constant regions (if present) from human antibody sequences. Similarly, a humanized heavy chain has at least one, two, and usually all three CDRs completely or substantially from a donor antibody heavy chain, and substantially has heavy chain variable region framework sequences and heavy chain constant regions (if present) derived from human heavy chain variable region framework and constant region sequences. Similarly, a humanized light chain has at least one, two, and usually all three CDRs completely or substantially from a donor antibody light chain, and substantially has light chain variable region framework sequences and light chain constant regions (if present) derived from human light chain variable region framework and constant region sequences. Other than nanobodies and dAbs, humanized antibodies include humanized heavy chains and humanized light chains. CDRs in a humanized antibody are substantially derived from corresponding CDRs in a non-human antibody if at least 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% of the corresponding residues (as defined by Kabat) are identical between the respective CDRs. The antibody chain variable region framework sequence or antibody chain constant region is substantially derived from a human variable region framework sequence or human constant region, respectively, according to Kabat. A sequence is a sequence where at least 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% of the corresponding residues are identical, as defined by the formula:
[0064] Although humanized antibodies often incorporate all six CDRs (as defined by Kabat) from a murine antibody, humanized antibodies can also be made using fewer than all CDRs (e.g., at least three, four, or five CDRs from a murine antibody) (see, e.g., De Pascalis R, Iwahashi M, Tamura M, et al. 2002. Grafting “Abbreviated” Complementary-Determining Regions Containing Specificity-Determining Residues Essential for Ligand Contact to Engineer a Less Immunogenic Humanized Monoclonal Antibody. J Immunol. 169:3076-3084; Vajdos FF, Adams CW, Breece TN, Presta LG, de Vos AM, Sidhu, SS. 2002. Comprehensive functional maps of the antigen-binding site of an anti-ErbB2 antibody obtained with shotgun scanning mutagenesis. J Immunol. 169:3076-3084).

Structural correlates of an anticarcinoma antibody: Identification of specificity-determining regions (SDRs) and development of a minimally immunogenic antibody variant by retention of SDRs only. J Immunol. 164:1432-1441).
[0065] Chimeric antibodies are antibodies in which the mature variable regions of the light and heavy chains of a non-human antibody (e.g., murine) are combined with human light and heavy chain constant regions. Such antibodies substantially or completely retain the binding specificity of the murine antibody and contain approximately two-thirds human sequences.
[0066] As used herein, the term "Knobs-Into-Holes" (KIH) can refer to a strategy for pairing the heavy chain portions of the constant regions in antibodies and fragments thereof. The "knobs" portion is created by substituting a smaller amino acid for a larger one. For example, in some embodiments, the knob comprises the knob in SEQ ID NO: 65. The knob fits into the "hole," which is created by substituting a larger amino acid for a smaller one. For example, in some embodiments, the hole comprises the hole in SEQ ID NO: 66. Linking the "knobs" to the "hole" is a disulfide bond between each chain.
[0067] A veneered antibody is a type of humanized antibody that retains some, usually all, of the CDRs and some non-human variable region framework residues of a non-human antibody, but replaces other variable region framework residues that may contribute to B-cell or T-cell epitopes, e.g., exposed residues, with residues from the corresponding positions in a human antibody sequence (Padlan EA. 1991. A possible process (These modifications are intended to reduce the immunogenicity of antibody variable regions while preserving their ligand-binding properties. Mol. Immunol. 28:489-98). The result is an antibody in which the CDRs are derived entirely or substantially from a non-human antibody and the variable region framework of the non-human antibody has been made more human-like by substitutions. Human antibodies can be isolated from humans or obtained by expression of human immunoglobulin genes (e.g., in transgenic mice, in vitro, or by phage display).Methods for producing human antibodies include the following: Ostberg L, Pursch E. 1983. Human x (mouse x human) hybridomas stably producing human antibodies. Hybridoma 2:361-367; Ostberg, U.S. Pat. No. 4,634,664; and the trioma method of Engleman et al., U.S. Pat.

[0254] polymer A "polymer" is a molecule composed of many repeating subunits. These subunits, sometimes called "monomers," can be the same or different. Both natural and synthetic polymers exist. DNA, proteins, and complex carbohydrates are examples of natural polymers. Polystyrene and polyacrylamide are examples of synthetic polymers. A polymer composed of repeating units of a single type of monomer is called a homopolymer. A polymer composed of two or more types of monomer is called a copolymer, or sometimes a heteropolymer. A copolymer in which certain monomer types are clustered together is sometimes called a block copolymer. Polymers can be linear or branched. When a polymer is branched, the polymer chains that share a common origin can be called polymer arms.
[0255] An "initiator" is a compound capable of serving as a substrate for one or more rounds of polymerization with a monomer or comonomer as described herein. The polymerization can be conventional free radical polymerization, or preferably, controlled / "living" radical polymerization, such as atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), reversible addition-fragmentation-termination (RAFT) polymerization, or nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP). The polymerization can be "quasi" controlled polymerization, such as degenerative transfer. Initiators suitable for ATRP contain one or more labile bonds that can undergo homolytic cleavage to form an initiator fragment I, a radical capable of initiating radical polymerization, and a radical scavenger I', which reacts with radicals on a growing polymer chain to reversibly terminate the polymerization. The radical scavenger I' is typically a halogen but can also be an organic moiety such as a nitrile. In some embodiments of the present invention, the initiator contains one ...
