[0215] When "cancer" is mentioned, it includes both non-metastatic and metastatic cancers, and consequently, treating cancer includes treating both the primary tumor and tumor metastases.

[0216] The term “therapy” is intended to have its usual meaning of addressing a disease in order to completely or partially alleviate one, some, or all of its symptoms, or to correct or compensate for an underlying medical condition. The term “therapy” also includes “prevention” unless otherwise specifically indicated. The terms “therapeutic” and “therapeutically” should be interpreted in the context of their corresponding means.

[0217] The term “prevent” is intended to have its usual meaning and may include primary prevention, which is to prevent the onset of a disease, and secondary prevention, which is to protect, temporarily or permanently, a patient from exacerbation or worsening of the disease or the onset of new symptoms associated with the disease, once the disease has already developed.

[0218] The term “treatment” is used synonymously with “therapy.” Similarly, the term “to treat” can be considered as “to apply therapy,” and “therapy” is as defined herein.

[0219] Embodiments provide conjugates of formula (I), (IC), (IM), or (IT), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, for use in the treatment of HER2-positive cancer.

[0222] The terms “to treat” or “treatment” refer to both (1) therapeutic means that cure, slow, alleviate, and / or halt the progression of a diagnosed pathological condition or disorder, and (2) preventive or deterrent means that prevent and / or delay the onset of a targeted pathological condition or disorder. Thus, persons requiring treatment include those who already have a disorder; those who are prone to developing a disorder; and those for whom a disorder should be prevented. In certain aspects, if a patient exhibits, for example, complete, partial, or transient remission of a particular type of cancer, the patient is successfully “treated” for cancer in accordance with the methods of this disclosure.

[0223] The term "effective dose" refers to the amount of active ingredient sufficient to significantly and positively modify (e.g., provide a positive clinical response) the symptom and / or condition being treated. The effective dose of active ingredient for use in a pharmaceutical composition varies depending on the specific condition being treated, the severity of the condition, the duration of treatment, the nature of the combination therapy, the specific active ingredient used, the specific pharmaceutically acceptable excipients / carriers utilized, and similar factors within the knowledge and expertise of the attending physician.

[0224] The term “patient” refers to any animal (e.g., mammal), including but not limited to humans, non-human primates, rodents, etc., that is a recipient of a particular treatment. In embodiments, the term “patient” refers to a human subject.

[0225] In embodiments, a method is provided for treating cancer in a patient, comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a conjugate of formula (I), (IC), (IM), or (IT), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the cancer is HER2-positive cancer.

[0235] Antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin molecule that is specifically bound to a particular antigen or is immunologically reactive.

[0236] In embodiments, the antibody is either isolated or recombinant. “Isolated,” as used herein, refers to a polypeptide, e.g., an antibody, identified, isolated, and / or recovered from the cells or cell culture on which it is expressed. Typically, an isolated antibody will be prepared by at least one purification step. Thus, “isolated antibody” refers to an antibody that substantially does not contain other antibodies with different antigen specificities.

[0237] In embodiments, the antibody comprises at least two "light chains" (LC) and two "heavy chains" (HC). The light and heavy chains of such an antibody are polypeptides consisting of several domains. Each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as "VH") and a heavy chain constant region (abbreviated herein as "CH"). The heavy chain constant region comprises heavy chain constant domains CH1, CH2, and CH3 (antibody classes IgA, IgD, and IgG) and optionally a heavy chain constant domain CH4 (antibody classes IgE and IgM). Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as "VL") and a light chain constant region (abbreviated herein as "CL").

[0238] In the embodiments, the antibody is a full-length antibody. As used herein, “intact” or “full-length” antibody refers to an antibody having two heavy (H) chain polypeptides and two light (L) chain polypeptides interconnected by disulfide bonds.

[0239] The "variable region" of an antibody refers to the variable region of the antibody light chain or the variable region of the antibody heavy chain, either alone or in combination. The variable regions VH and VL can be further subdivided into highly variable regions called complementarity determining regions (CDRs), which contain more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). In embodiments, each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus in the order FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The VH or VL chain of an antibody may further include all or part of the heavy chain or light chain constant region.

[0240] The binding of an antibody to its target antigen or epitope is mediated by a CDR. The term "epitope" refers to a target protein region (e.g., polypeptide) that can bind to (e.g., be bound to) the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of this disclosure. The CDR is the primary determinant of antigen specificity. At least two techniques exist for determining the CDR: (1) an approach based on interspecific sequence variability (i.e., Kabat et al. Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, (5th ed., 1991, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda Md.)), and (2) an approach based on crystallographic studies of antigen-antibody complexes (Al-lazikani et al. (1997) J. Molec. Biol. 273:927-948). In addition, combinations of these two approaches are sometimes used in the art to determine the CDR.

[0241] The "constant domains" (or "constant regions") of the heavy and light chains do not directly participate in the binding of antibodies to their targets, but they exhibit various effector functions. The constant regions of antibodies can mediate the binding of immunoglobulins to various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and to host tissues or factors, including the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system.

[0242] There are five major classes of heavy chain constant regions, classified as IgA, IgG, IgD, IgE, and IgM, each possessing characteristic effector functions designated by its isotype. Ig molecules interact with multiple classes of cell receptors. For example, IgG molecules interact with three classes of Fcγ receptors (FcγR) specific to the IgG class of antibodies: FcγRI, FcγRII, and FcγRIII. Antibody binding to Fc receptors on the cell surface triggers several important and diverse biological responses, including phagocytosis and destruction of antibody-coated particles, clearance of immune complexes, lysis of antibody-coated target cells by killer cells (known as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC), release of inflammatory mediators, placental cross-transfer, and regulation of immunoglobulin production. Sequences crucial for IgG binding to FcγR receptors have been reported to be located in the CH2 and CH3 domains.

[0243] In some embodiments, the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment is an IgG isotype. The antibody or its antigen-binding fragment may be any IgG subclass, for example, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 isotype. In embodiments, the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment is based on the IgG1 isotype.

[0244] The terms “Fc region,” “Fc moiety,” and “Fc” are used interchangeably herein and refer to a portion of innate immunoglobulin formed by two Fc chains. Each “Fc chain” contains a constant domain CH2 and a constant domain CH3. Each Fc chain may also contain a hinge region. The innate Fc region is homodimer. In embodiments, the Fc region may include modifications that force Fc heterodimerization and thus may be heterodimer. The Fc region includes a carbohydrate moiety, as well as complement and Fc receptor (including FcRn receptor) binding sites and does not possess antigen-binding activity. Fc may refer to this isolated region or to this region in the context of an antibody, antibody fragment, or Fc fusion protein. Polymorphisms have been found in several Fc domain sites, including but not limited to EU positions 270, 272, 312, 315, 356, and 358, resulting in slight variations between the sequences described herein and sequences known in the art. As a result, all naturally occurring IgG Fc regions are called "wild-type IgG Fc domains" or "WT IgG Fc domains" (i.e., any allele). Human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 heavy-chain sequences can be obtained in various sequence databases, including the UniProt database (www.uniprot.org), under accession numbers P01857 (IGHG1_HUMAN), P01859 (IGHG2_HUMAN), P01860 (IGHG3_HUMAN), and P01861 (IGHG4_HUMAN), respectively.

[0245] In embodiments, the antibodies of this disclosure are monoclonal antibodies. A “monoclonal antibody” (mAb) refers to a homogeneous population of antibodies involved in the highly specific recognition and binding of a single antigenic determinant or epitope. This is in contrast to polyclonal antibodies, which typically contain different antibodies against different antigenic determinants. The term “monoclonal antibody” can encompass both full-length monoclonal antibodies, as well as antibody fragments (e.g., Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv), single-chain (scFv) variants, fusion proteins containing antibody moieties, and any other modified immunoglobulin molecules containing antigen recognition sites. Furthermore, “monoclonal antibody” refers to such antibodies produced by any number of methods, including but not limited to hybridomas, phage selection, recombinant expression, and transgenic animals. In embodiments, the antibodies of this disclosure are isolated monoclonal antibodies. In further embodiments, the antibodies are fully human monoclonal antibodies.

[0246] In embodiments, the antibody of this disclosure is the full-length antibody described above. Alternatively, the antibody may be an antigen-binding fragment. As used herein, the term “antigen-binding fragment” includes any naturally occurring or artificially constructed configuration of an antigen-binding polypeptide comprising one, two, or three light chain CDRs and / or one, two, or three heavy chain CDRs, wherein the polypeptide can bind to an antigen.

[0247] In embodiments, the antigen-binding fragment of the Disclosure is a Fab fragment. The antibodies according to the Disclosure may also be Fab', Fv, scFv, Fd, V NAR domain, IgNAR, intrabody, IgG CH2, minibody, single-domain antibody, Fcab, scFv-Fc, F(ab')2, di-scFv, bi-specific T-cell engager (BITE), F(ab')3, tetrabody, triabody, diabody, DVD-Ig, (scFv)2, mAb2, or DARPin.

[0248] The terms “Fab fragment” and “Fab” are used interchangeably herein and comprise a single light chain (e.g., constant domains CL and VL) and a single heavy chain (e.g., constant domains CH1 and VH). The heavy chains of a Fab fragment cannot form disulfide bonds with other heavy chains.

[0249] A "Fab' fragment" contains a single light chain and a single heavy chain, but in addition to CH1 and VH, it also contains a heavy chain region between the CH1 and CH2 domains required for the formation of an interchain disulfide bond. Therefore, two "Fab' fragments" can associate via the formation of a disulfide bond to form an F(ab')2 molecule.

[0250] The "F(ab')2 fragment" contains two light chains and two heavy chains. Each chain contains a portion of the constant region necessary for the formation of interchain disulfide bonds between the two heavy chains.

[0251] The "Fv fragment" contains only the variable regions of the heavy and light chains. It does not include the steady region.

[0252] A "single-domain antibody" is an antibody fragment containing a single antibody domain unit (e.g., VH or VL).

[0253] A "single-stranded Fv" ("scFv") is an antibody fragment containing the VH and VL domains of an antibody that are linked together to form a single chain. Polypeptide linkers are commonly used to link the VH and VL domains of scFv.

[0254] "TandAb," also known as "tandem scFv," is a single-chain Fv molecule formed by the covalent bonding of two scFv molecules to a flexible peptide linker in a tandem orientation.

[0255] A "bispecific T cell engager" (BiTE) is a fusion protein consisting of two single-stranded variable fragments (scFv) on a single peptide chain. One scFv binds to T cells via the CD3 receptor, while the other binds to tumor cell antigens.

[0256] A "diabody" is a small, bivalent, bispecific antibody fragment containing a heavy chain variable domain (VH) (VH-VL) connected to a light chain variable domain (VL) on the same polypeptide chain, linked by a peptide linker that is too short to allow pairing between two domains on the same chain (Kipriyanov, Int. J. Cancer 77 (1998), 763-772). This forces pairing with a complementary domain on another chain, promoting the assembly of a dimeric molecule with two functional antigen-binding sites.

[0257] DARPin is a bispecific ankyrin repeat molecule. DARPin is derived from the native ankyrin protein, one of the most abundant types of binding proteins found in the human genome. DARPin library modules are defined by the native ankyrin repeat protein sequence, using 229 ankyrin repeats for the initial design and an additional 2200 for subsequent refinement. The modules serve as building blocks for the DARPin library. The library modules are similar to the human genome sequence. DARPin consists of 4–6 modules. Each module is approximately 3.5 kDa, so the average size of DARPin is 16–21 kDa. Binding agent selection is performed entirely cell-free by ribosome display, as described in He M. and Taussig MJ., Biochem Soc Trans. 2007, Nov;35(Pt 5):962-5.

[0258] In embodiments, antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments can be further modified to include additional chemical moieties that are not typically part of the protein. These derivatized moieties can improve the protein's solubility, biological half-life, or absorption. They can also reduce or eliminate any desired side effects, such as those of the protein. An overview of these moieties can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 22nd ed., Ed. Lloyd V. Allen, Jr. (2012).

All ADCs and natural mAbs were concentrated to approximately 10 mg / mL in 20 mM His / His HCl, 240 mM sucrose, pH 6.0. Serial dilutions were performed in formulation buffer. Each sample was tested in three ways. The Kd values ​​are the average of each of the three tests. Outlier results (" * Those marked as '' were excluded from the average calculation. The results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 7, which demonstrate a statistically significant reduced precipitation tendency for ADC-1 compared to ADC-2 and ADC-3.
