AI Technical Summary
There are safety and efficacy concerns with existing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the treatment of TROP2-targeted cancers, especially in cancers with high TROP2 expression such as breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, and lung cancer, where their therapeutic effects are limited.
A novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) has been developed, comprising a specific structured anti-TROP2 antibody and a self-cleaving spacer (Sp1), which binds to an anti-PD-1 antibody to target TROP2-positive cancers. The design of the self-cleaving spacer improves the drug's targeting and safety.
It significantly improved the treatment effect on TROP2-positive cancers, enhanced anti-cancer activity, reduced treatment toxicity, and enhanced the ability to inhibit cancer.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to the biopharmaceutical field, particularly to antibody-drug conjugates and combinations with anti-PD-1 antibodies, and their use. [Background technology]
[0002] background TROP2 is a transmembrane protein that has been found to be overexpressed in several cancer types, including endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, gastric cancer, oral cancer, and glioma, making it a natural candidate for the development of targeted therapies. TROP2 acts as a regulator of cell autoogenesis, proliferation, and transformation. Experiments have shown that TROP2 can promote tumor growth, and that knockout of the TROP2 gene inhibits tumor cell growth. Due to the limited tissue expression of TROP2, the toxicity of treatment is reduced, which is also an advantage of targeting TROP2 therapy. Several TROP2 variants targeting ADCs have been proposed (e.g., DS-1062, TRODELVY, BAT8003). These therapies have significantly improved survival rates in patients with TROP2-positive cancers.
[0003] DS-1062 is an antibody-conjugate drug developed by Daiichi Sankyo using its proprietary DXd ADC technology. It consists of a monoclonal antibody that targets the Trop2 protein bound to DXd. Data including a larger number of NSCLC patients show that DS-1062 exhibits good dose-dependent anticancer activity. As the dose increased, tumors shrank in more NSCLC patients. TRODELVY is the first FDA-approved ADC and the first FDA-approved anti-TROP2 ADC, specific to relapsed or refractory metastatic TNBC. It consists of an antibody that targets TROP2 bound to SN-38, the active metabolite of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan.
[0004] However, there is still a high demand for novel ADC drugs targeting TROP2, and highly safe ADCs are also one of the development directions of novel drugs.

[0019] Detailed explanation Specific embodiments are provided below to illustrate the technical content of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art will readily understand other advantages and effects of this disclosure through the content disclosed herein. This disclosure may also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.
[0020] definition Unless otherwise defined below, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The term "technologies" as used herein refers to technologies commonly understood in the art, including obvious modifications and equivalent substitutions to those skilled in the art. The following terms are considered readily understandable to those skilled in the art, but their definitions are provided for the greater clarity of this disclosure. Where a trade name is present herein, it refers to the corresponding product or its active ingredient. All patents, published patent applications, and publications cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
[0021] Where a particular quantity, concentration, or other value or parameter is expressed in the form of a range, preferred range, preferred upper limit, or preferred lower limit, it should be understood that this is equivalent to specifically revealing any range formed by combining any upper limit or preferred value with any lower limit or preferred value (whether such range is explicitly enumerated or not). Unless otherwise specified, numerical ranges enumerated herein are intended to include the endpoints of the range, as well as all integers and fractions (decimals) within that range. For example, the expression "i is an integer between 1 and 20" means that i is any integer between 1 and 20, for example, i could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20. Other similar expressions, such as j, k, and g, should be understood in the same way.
[0022] Unless otherwise explicitly indicated by context, the singular forms "a" and "the" include the plural forms. The expressions "one or more" or "at least one" can mean 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or more.
[0023] When used in relation to numerical variables, the terms "approximately" and "about" generally mean that the value of that variable, and all values of that variable, are within the experimental error (e.g., within a 95% confidence interval for the mean), or within ±10% of a specified value, or a wider range.
[0024] The term "stoichiometric ratio" means that various substances are compatible according to a specific weight ratio. For example, in this disclosure, the active ingredient is mixed with an injector, a binder, and a lubricant in a specified weight ratio.
[0025] The terms “optional” or “optional” mean that the event described following the term may not necessarily occur, and such description includes whether or not such event or situation may occur.
[0026] The expressions “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are open-ended and do not exclude additional unlisted elements, steps, or components. The expression “consisting of” excludes any unspecified elements, steps, or components. The expression “essentially consisting of” means that the scope is limited to elements, steps, or components that exist at the discretion of the specified elements, steps, or components, in addition to those that do not substantially affect the essential and novel characteristics of the claimed subject matter. It should be understood that the expression “comprising” encompasses the expressions “consisting essentially of” and “consisting of.”
[0027] The term "antibody," as used herein, is used broadly and includes, in particular, intact monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments (only if they possess the desired biological activity). Antibodies may be any subtype (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgA) or subclass and may originate from any suitable species. In some embodiments, antibodies are of human or mouse origin. Antibodies may also be fully human antibodies, humanized antibodies, or chimeric antibodies prepared by recombinant methods.
[0028] The term "monoclonal antibody" is used herein to refer to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies; that is, the individual antibodies constituting that population are identical except for a few possible native variations. Monoclonal antibodies exhibit high specificity for a single antigen site. The term "monoclonal" indicates that the antibody characteristics are obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and should not be interpreted as requiring any specific antibody production method.
[0029] Intact or full-length antibodies essentially contain antigen-binding variable regions (CLs) and light chain constant regions (CHs) (which may include CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 depending on the antibody subtype). The antigen-binding variable region (also known as a fragment variable region or Fv fragment) typically includes a light chain variable region (VL) and a heavy chain variable region (VH). The constant regions may be constant regions with a native sequence (e.g., a constant region with a human native sequence) or amino acid sequence variants thereof. The variable regions recognize and interact with target antigens. The constant regions may be recognized and interact with by the immune system.
[0030] An "antibody fragment" may include a portion of an intact antibody, preferably its antigen-binding region or variable region. Examples of antibody fragments include Fd fragments, Fv fragments, single-domain antibody (dAb) fragments, and isolated complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), consisting of Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, VH, and CH1 domains. A Fab fragment is an antibody fragment obtained by papain digestion of full-length immunoglobulin, or a fragment having the same structure produced, for example, by recombinant expression. A Fab fragment includes a light chain (including VL and CL) and another chain, the other chain containing the variable domain (VH) and constant region domain (CH1) of the heavy chain. An F(ab')2 fragment is an antibody fragment obtained by pepsin digestion (pH 4.0-4.5) of immunoglobulin, or a fragment having the same structure produced, for example, by recombinant expression. An F(ab')2 fragment essentially consists of two Fab fragments, with each heavy chain portion containing several additional amino acids, including a cysteine that forms a disulfide bond connecting the two fragments. A Fab' fragment is a fragment containing half of an F(ab')2 fragment (one heavy chain and one light chain). Antibody fragments may contain multiple chains linked together, for example, via disulfide bonds and / or via peptide linkers. Examples of antibody fragments include single-chain Fv(scFv), Fv, dsFv, diabody, Fd and Fd' fragments, as well as other fragments including modified fragments. Antibody fragments typically contain at least or about 50 amino acids, and usually at least or about 200 amino acids. Antigen-binding fragments may include any antibody fragment that, when inserted into the antibody framework (e.g., by substitution of a corresponding region), can result in an antibody that binds immunospecifically to an antigen.
[0031] The antibodies described herein can be prepared using techniques well known in the art, such as the following techniques or combinations thereof: recombinant techniques, phage display techniques, synthetic techniques, or other techniques known in the art. For example, genetically modified recombinant antibodies (or antibody mimes) can be expressed in a suitable culture system (e.g., Escherichia coli or mammalian cells). This manipulation may refer, for example, to the introduction of ligase-specific recognition sequences at their terminals.
[0032] Cytotoxins refer to substances that inhibit or prevent cell expression activity, cell function, and / or cause cell destruction. Cytotoxins currently used in ADCs are more toxic than chemotherapeutic drugs. Examples of cytotoxins include, but are not limited to, drugs that target the following: microtubule cytoskeleton, DNA, RNA, kinesin-mediated protein transport, and the regulation of apoptosis. Drugs that target the microtubule cytoskeleton may be, for example, microtubule stabilizers or tubulin polymerization inhibitors. Examples of microtubule stabilizers include, but are not limited to, taxanes. Examples of tubulin polymerization inhibitors include, but are not limited to, mytansinoids, auristatin, vinblastine, colchicine, and drastatin. DNA targeting drugs may be, for example, drugs that directly disrupt DNA structure or topoisomerase inhibitors. Examples of drugs that directly disrupt DNA structure include, but are not limited to, DNA double-strand cleavers, DNA alkylating agents, and DNA intercalators. DNA double-strand cleavage agents may be engine antibiotics, including but not limited to dynemycin, esperamicin, neocarlutinostatin, and unciaramycin. DNA alkylating agents may be, for example, DNA bisalkylating agents (i.e., DNA crosslinkers) or DNA monoalkylating agents. Examples of DNA alkylating agents include, but are not limited to, pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) dimers, 1-(chloromethyl)-2,3-dihydrogen-1H-benzo[e]indole (CBI) dimers, CBI-PBD heterodimers, dihydroindolebenzodiazepine (IGN) dimers, and duocalmycin-like compounds. Examples of topoisomerase inhibitors include, but are not limited to, exatecan and its derivatives (e.g., DX8951f, DXd-(1) and DXd-(2), whose structures are shown below), camptothecin, and anthracyclines. RNA targeting drugs may include, for example, drugs that inhibit splicing, and examples include, but are not limited to, prazienolides.Drugs that target kinesin-mediated protein transport may include, for example, mitotic kinesin inhibitors, including but not limited to kinesin spindle protein (KSP) inhibitors.
[0033] A spacer is a structure located between different structural modules that can spatially separate them. The definition of a spacer is not limited by whether it has a specific function or whether it can be cleaved or degraded in vivo. Examples of spacers include, but are not limited to, amino acid and non-amino acid structures, and non-amino acid structures may be, but are not limited to, amino acid derivatives or analogs. A "spacer sequence" refers to an amino acid sequence that functions as a spacer, and examples include, but are not limited to, single amino acid sequences, sequences containing multiple amino acids, for example, sequences containing two amino acids such as GA, or for example, GGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 42), GGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 43), GGGGSGGGGSGGGGS (SEQ ID NO: 44), etc. A self-destructing spacer is a covalent assembly tuned to correlate the cleavage of two chemical bonds after activation of a protective moiety in the precursor: upon stimulation, the protective moiety (e.g., a cleavable sequence) is removed, triggering a series of degradation reactions that sequentially release smaller molecules over time. Examples of self-destructing spacers include, but are not limited to, PABC (p-benzyloxycarbonyl), acetals, heteroacetals, and combinations thereof.
[0034] The term "alkyl" refers to a linear or branched saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group consisting of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which are bonded to the rest of the molecule via single bonds. Alkyl groups can contain 1 to 20 carbon atoms, C1-C 20Alkyl groups refer to groups such as C1-C4 alkyl groups, C1-C3 alkyl groups, C1-C2 alkyl groups, C3 alkyl groups, C4 alkyl groups, and C3-C6 alkyl groups. Non-limiting examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, isopentyl, 2-methylbutyl, 1-methylbutyl, 1-ethylpropyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, neopentyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 4-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, 2-methylpentyl, 1-methylpentyl, 2-ethylbutyl, 1-ethylbutyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl, 2,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,1-dimethylbutyl, 2,3-dimethylbutyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, or 1,2-dimethylbutyl, or their isomers. A divalent radical refers to a group obtained from a corresponding monovalent radical by removing one hydrogen atom from a carbon atom with free valence electrons (may include multiple). A divalent radical has two bonding sites attached to the rest of the molecule. For example, "alkylene" or "alkylidene" refers to a saturated divalent hydrocarbon group that is either straight-chain or branched.

[0290] 1.2 Expression of anti-TROP2 antibody Plasmids encoding the light and heavy chains of the anti-TROP2 antibody were paired and mixed in a 2:1 mass ratio. The plasmid pairs and PEIMAX (Polyscience) transfection reagent were separately diluted in HEK293F basic medium and then homogeneously mixed. The mixture was left at room temperature and added to HEK293F seed cell cultures. Cells were cultured at 32°C for 24 hours, sampled for analysis of cell density and viability, and replenished with 10% volume of HEK293F feed medium. The culture temperature was then changed to 32°C for the next culture. At 72 hours from incubation, the cell cultures were sampled again for analysis of cell density and viability. At 144 hours from incubation, the cell cultures were sampled again for analysis of cell density and viability.
[0291] 1.3 Purification of anti-TROP2 antibody The antibodies were purified by affinity chromatography according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, a chromatography column (BestChrom, Shanghai, China) was packed with MabSelect SureLX resin (GE Healthcare) and equilibrated with 50 mM Tris and 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.4). Next, the supernatant of the cell culture was obtained and applied to the column. The column was washed with 50 mM Tris and 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.4) to remove nonspecifically bound proteins. The antibodies were then eluted with 50 mM citrate buffer (pH 3.5), and the antibody-containing eluate was adjusted to pH 6.5 using 1 M Tris-HCl (pH 9.0). Finally, the antibody buffer was replaced with 50 mM Tris and 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.4) using an Anicon Ultra-15 centrifugal filter (Merk Millipore).
[0292] 1.4 Binding reaction kinetics and affinity analysis Binding reaction kinetics and affinity analysis were performed. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis was performed using Sensor Chip Protein A (GE Healthcare) on a Biacore T200 (GE Healthcare) according to the manufacturer's instructions. All measurements were performed using HBS-EP. + The reaction was carried out at 25°C in a buffer solution (10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, and 0.05% surfactant P20). Approximately 110–140 RU (resonance units) of each purified antibody were captured in flow cells 2 and 4 (i.e., reaction surfaces) of the sensor tip, respectively. Flow cells 1 and 3 were then subjected to HBS-EP. + It was treated with a buffer solution to function as a reference surface.
[0293] Serial dilutions (243, 81, 27, 9, 3, 1, 0.333, and 0.111 nM, respectively) of the recombinant extracellular domain of human TROP2 (i.e., analyte) (Acrobio system) were used in HBS-EP +The solution was prepared in buffer. After antibody capture, serial dilutions of TROP2 were injected at a flow rate of 30 μL / min for 3 minutes (binding phase), and buffer was flowed for 10 minutes (dissociation phase). The tip surface was regenerated by two pulses of 10 mM glycine-HCl (pH 1.5) injected at a flow rate of 50 μL / min for 30 seconds. The collected data were processed using Biacore T200 Evaluation software using methods well known in the art. The processing included the following steps: (1) setting the response to zero on the Y axis and the injection start to zero on the X axis, (2) performing a two-step reference by first subtracting the reference surface data from the reaction surface data to obtain the analyte injection curve, and then subtracting the buffer injection curve from the analyte injection curve, and (3) performing dynamical analysis using a 1:1 binding model with global fit. The results for each antibody were expressed as Ka (on-rate), Kd (off-rate), and K D This is shown as the (equilibrium dissociation constant).
[0294] 1.5 SEC-HPLC Detection of Anti-TROP2 Antibodies The antibody samples were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was applied to an SEC-HPLC column to detect the proportion of monomers (corresponding to intact antibodies), high molecular weight molecules (HMW, corresponding to antibody aggregates due to aggregation), and low molecular weight molecules (LMW, corresponding to antibody fragments due to degradation) of each antibody.

[0297] 1.6 Internalization activity MDA-MB-468 cells with good viability were trypsin-treated, collected, and suspended in cold FACS buffer (DPBS + 2% FBS). 2 × 10⁻⁶ cells were then collected. 6The cell concentration was adjusted to cells / ml. Anti-Trop2 antibody and isotype control antibody samples were fluorescently labeled by mixing them with anti-human IgG-Fc-AF647 secondary antibody in a 1:1 molar ratio at room temperature for 20 minutes. The labeled antibody was added to the cell suspension at a final concentration of 10 μg / ml. The antibody-cell mixture was incubated on ice for 1 hour. After surface binding, the antibody-cell mixture was washed twice with cold FACS buffer to remove excess antibody. Cells were incubated at 37°C for 0, 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 240 minutes for antibody internalization, with 1 × 10⁶ cells per well at each time point. 5 The cells were transferred to a V-bottom 96-well plate. Internalization was stopped by returning the cells to an ice bath. Non-internalized cells (0 min) were divided into MAX and MIN groups, and antibody-internalized cells were marked as group I. Both MIN and group I were washed twice with quench buffer (150 mM NaCl + 100 mM glycine, pH=2.0~2.5) to dissociate the antibody surface binding. After quenching, all groups were washed twice with FACS buffer and analyzed by flow cytometry using APC channels.
[0298] The MFI data was incorporated into the following equation, and the results were analyzed using a one-phase exponential coupling function in Prism6. Isotype comparison: MFI (I) =MFI (試料、I) -MFI (アイソタイプ対照抗体、I) MFI (MAX) =MFI (試料、MAX) -MFI (陰性抗体、MAX) MFI (MIN) =MFI (試料、MIN) -MFI (陰性抗体、MIN) Internalization rate: R (t) =( MFI (I) -MFI (MIN) ) / MFI (MAX) ×100%
[0299] As shown in Figure 1, all four antibodies exhibit comparable internalization activity against MDA-MB-468.

[0447] Example of effect 4: Serum stability of ADC-1 An appropriate amount of Trop 2 was covalently coupled to CNBr-activated agarose microspheres to form immobilized antigens. After blocking, a stable sample pre-incubated with plasma was added in a fixed proportion and incubated with shaking. ADC-1 and DS1062a (ADC drug) in the matrix were specifically captured by the immobilized antigen to form solid-phase antigen / antibody complexes, and unbound material was removed by washing. After incubation, the coupled glycans in the Fc region of the ADC drug antibody were excised using N-glycosidase, and then the ADC was recovered by formic acid elution, and the DAR was detected by LC-MS. The results are shown in Figure 17.
[0448] conclusion The results showed that the serum stability of ADC-1 was significantly better than that of DS1062a.
[0449] Example 5: In vivo efficacy evaluation of the combination of ADC2 and anti-mPD-1 in an MC38-hTROP2 syngeneic CDX model of colon cancer. Objective: To evaluate the in vivo antitumor efficacy of the combination of the ADC drug ADC2 and anti-mPD-1 in mice with a colon cancer Trop2 high CDX model.
[0450] I. MC38-hTROP2 cells (Biocytogen) in the exponential growth phase were collected and counted for tumor inoculation. 0.5 × 10⁶ cells were counted in 0.1 mL of PBS. 6 Individual cells were used and subcutaneously injected into the right flank of 6-8 week old SPF female C57BL / 6J mice.
[0451] II. Six days after vaccination, measure the diameter of the tumor with calipers, and use the formula V = 0.5a × b 2The tumor volume was calculated according to the following formula (where a is the longest diameter of the tumor and b is the shortest diameter). The average tumor volume was approximately 100-300 mm². 3 At that point, mice were randomized to one of the following groups: vehicle group, ADC2 3 mg / kg group, DS1062a 3 mg / kg group, anti-mPD-1 (Bio X cells, 825822J1) 1 mg / kg group, ADC2 + anti-mPD-1 combination group, and DS1062a + anti-mPD-1 combination group. Each group contained 6 mice. The day of the first administration was defined as day 0. Mice in the vehicle group were given the solvent for ADC2 and the solvent for anti-mPD-1 at the same frequency and via the same route of administration. Tumor volume of mice in each group was measured twice a week. The experiment was completed on day 28, and the tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) was calculated as follows: TGI (%) = [1 - (mean tumor volume of the treatment group on the end day - mean tumor volume of the treatment group on the first day) / (mean tumor volume of the vehicle group on the end day - mean tumor volume of the vehicle group on the first day)] × 100%.
[0452] III. Figure 18 shows the changes in tumor volume in tumor-bearing C57BL / 6J mice treated with (1) vehicle, (2) ADC2 3 mg / kg, (3) DS1062 3 mg / kg, (4) anti-mPD-1 1 mg / kg, (5) ADC2 3 mg / kg + anti-mPD-1 1 mg / kg, and (6) DS1062 3 mg / kg + anti-mPD-1 1 mg / kg. Table X shows the mean tumor volume on the final day (day 28) for the ADC2 3 mg / kg group, DS1062a 3 mg / kg group, anti-mPD-1 1 mg / kg group, ADC2 3 mg / kg + anti-mPD-1 1 mg / kg group, and DS1062a 3 mg / kg + anti-mPD-1 1 mg / kg group, all of which were 580 mm³. 3 , 1415mm 3 , 846mm 3 , 95mm 3 , and 934mm 3 The results showed that the TGIs were 68.6%, 12.8%, 50.8%, 101.0%, and 45.0%, respectively.
[0453] The results show that ADC2 3 mg / kg and anti-mPD-1 1 mg / kg can inhibit tumor cell proliferation as monotherapy. The combination of DS1062a and anti-mPD-1 inhibited tumor growth, and its effect was better than DS1062a monotherapy, but similar to anti-mPD-1 monotherapy. The combination of ADC2 and anti-mPD-1 showed excellent antitumor effects, resulting in 5 complete responses (5 / 6 CR), and had superior antitumor activity compared to ADC2 monotherapy (1 / 6 CR) or anti-PD-1 monotherapy.
