[0003] Field of Invention This application relates to a targeted conjugate containing an effector molecule and its use. [Background technology]
[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are targeted therapies designed to preferentially deliver a drug ("payload") to diseased tissue expressing a surface antigen recognized by the antibody. ADCs often consist of an antibody conjugated to a therapeutic agent (e.g., a cytotoxic agent) via a chemical linker that enables the release of the therapeutic agent to treat the disease. Currently, 10 ADCs are approved by the FDA for therapeutic use, and over 100 are in clinical trials. The majority of currently approved or clinically evaluated ADCs are small-molecule drug-antibody conjugates. Current ADCs incorporate standard chemotherapeutic agents, including, for example, the auristatin monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), calicheamicin, SN-38, Dxd (exatecan derivative), and meitansine derivative 1 (DM1). See, for example, Polakis, PharmaRev, 2016, 68(1)3-19.
[0005] While ADCs possess conceptual merit and promising clinical outcomes, developing effective ADC therapies remains remarkably challenging. The overall design of the ADC, the selection of target tissues, the antibodies, chemical linkers, drug binding sites, and the properties of the drug payload all influence the efficacy and risks of the ADC (see, e.g., Chau et al., Lancet 2019;394:793-804). For example, early ADCs in clinical trials suffer from the drawback of immunogenicity of the mouse antibodies used, and recent advances in ADC development rely on humanized antibodies. Other unresolved challenges in ADCs include a) the ineffectiveness of the drug payload, b) premature release of the drug leading to loss of efficacy and enhanced toxicity, c) the level of target expression, d) suboptimal target selectivity, e) insufficient penetration into solid tumor tissue, and f) side effects such as thrombocytopenia and neuropathy, as seen with KADCYLA® and ADCETRIS®. ADC platforms, as highly specific payload delivery systems in vivo, are useful for applications beyond small molecule drug delivery. For example, siRNA can be fused to antibodies, potentially leading to efficient methods for in vivo mRNA knockdown (see Baumer et al., Nature Protocols, 2016, 11:22-36). Such antibody-mediated siRNA delivery has shown promising results in the treatment of colorectal cancer (see Baumer et al., Clin Cancer Res 2015 15;21(6):1383-94). A wider range of designs, antibody types, and therapeutic ranges are still needed for ADC platforms. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0067] This application provides compositions and treatment methods using a targeted conjugate comprising a targeted moiety and an effector molecule, wherein the targeted moiety specifically recognizes PD-L1 and / or Trop-2, and the effector molecule is conjugated to the targeted moiety via a conjugation site, and the targeted moiety linked to the effector molecule can be released from the targeted conjugate by cleavage. The targeted moiety that recognizes PD-L1 and / or Trop-2 binds to cell surface PD-L1 and / or Trop-2 expressed on diseased tissue or diseased cells (e.g., tumor cells). When the targeted conjugate enters a target site (e.g., tumor microenvironment), cleavage of the cleavage site in the targeted conjugate may be induced, which leads to the release of the targeted moiety linked to the effector molecule at the target site. In some embodiments, the targeted conjugate is multispecific. In some embodiments, the targeted conjugate comprises a first targeted portion and a second targeted portion, which are fused to each other via an arbitrary cleavage site and a conjugation site to which one or more effector molecules are conjugated. For example, the targeted portion may be designed by fusioning one or more scFv, scFab, or single-domain antibodies (e.g., anti-Trop-2 VHH) with a clinically efficacy and safety proven monoclonal antibody (e.g., anti-PD-L1 mAb) to provide multispecificity of target recognition and to result in enhanced clinical efficacy. The targeted conjugates described herein may have one or more of the following properties: i) enhanced selective target recognition ability and efficacy compared to conventional ADCs; ii) enhanced safety by targeting the drug to the tumor site and optionally releasing the drug conjugated to the anti-Trop-2 targeted portion (similarly localized to the tumor site); and iii) the anti-Trop-2 sdAb(plural)(e.g., VHH(plural)) portion conjugated to the drug, upon release, exhibits superior tissue penetration compared to conventional IgG-ADCs.
[0068] The present invention addresses one or more unmet needs, including efficient and / or highly specific drug payload release, high permeability, payload delivery to tumor tissue, enhanced antibody target selectivity, and reduced toxicity (e.g., toxicity to non-target cells) / enhanced safety profile. Furthermore, the multispecific targeted conjugate of the present invention employs an immunomodulator (anti-PD-L1 Ab) together with an ADC in a single construct, thereby achieving the following two antitumor mechanisms: i) the ADC portion exhibits target tumor cell killing, and ii) the immunomodulator portion improves the inhibition of immune checkpoints against effector T cells by tumor cells, thereby reducing effector T cell depletion and evasion of the tumor cell immune response. The PD-L1 / Trop-2 multispecific targeting conjugates described herein may: i) effectively treat Trop-2-positive cancers in vivo, exhibiting significantly superior therapeutic efficacy compared to either the sacituzumab-ADC + durvalumab control or the datopotamab-ADC + durvalumab control combination; ii) demonstrate enhanced therapeutic efficacy when a cleavage site is used between the anti-PD-L1 targeting moiety and the anti-Trop-2 targeting moiety conjugated to the effector molecule; iii) demonstrate a superior safety profile comparable to either the sacituzumab-ADC + durvalumab control or the datopotamab-ADC + durvalumab control combination; iv) possess a superior PK profile, reflected in stability in human plasma, for example, compared to the datopotamab-ADC control; and v) demonstrate a remarkably long-lasting immunological memory and safety profile against tumor cells in vivo, potentially offering promising therapeutic efficacy against recurrent tumors or preventing cancer recurrence.
[0069] Accordingly, one aspect of the present application provides a multispecific targeted conjugate comprising a first targeting portion that specifically recognizes PD-L1, a second targeting portion that specifically recognizes Trop-2, and an effector molecule, wherein the effector molecule is conjugated to the second targeting portion via a conjugation site. In some embodiments, the multispecific targeted conjugate further includes a cleavage site between the first targeting portion and the conjugation site, wherein the second targeting portion conjugated with the effector molecule can be released from the multispecific targeted conjugate by cleavage at the cleavage site.
[0070] Another aspect of this application provides a novel anti-PD-L1 antibody construct comprising a targeting moiety that specifically recognizes PD-L1. Another aspect of this application provides a novel anti-Trop-2 antibody construct comprising a targeting moiety that specifically recognizes Trop-2.
[0071] Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, and manufactured articles comprising any of the multispecific targeted conjugates, anti-PD-L1 antibody constructs, or anti-Trop-2 antibody constructs described herein. Furthermore, methods for treating Trop-2-positive cancer in an individual using any of the multispecific targeted conjugates or anti-Trop-2 antibody constructs described herein, or any of these pharmaceutical compositions, are also provided. Methods for constructing any of the multispecific targeted conjugates described herein are also provided.
[0072] I. Definition Unless otherwise specifically defined below, terms are used herein in the manner commonly used in the art.
[0073] The term "targeting portion," as used herein, refers to a polypeptide-based binding molecule that specifically binds to a target molecule, or a portion thereof that contributes to specific binding. Both antibody-based and non-antibody-based binding molecules, or portions thereof, are intended herein.
[0074] As used herein, the term "therapeutic agent" refers to a molecule that has a therapeutic effect. A therapeutic agent may be any suitable molecular entity other than oligonucleotides.
[0075] The term "effector molecule," as used herein, refers to a molecule that may be used for therapeutic and / or diagnostic purposes. Examples of effector molecules include, but are not limited to, therapeutic agents, diagnostic labels, and oligonucleotides.
[0076] The term "conjugation" refers to the chemical linking of two chemical groups or parts to each other by one or more covalent or noncovalent bonds. Conjugation can be direct between the two chemical groups or parts, or indirectly through a third chemical group or part (e.g., a linker) that bridges the two chemical groups or parts.
[0077] The term "conjugation site" refers to a site that directly links two chemical parts.
[0078] The term "antibody," used in its broadest sense, encompasses a variety of antibody structures. An "antibody" can refer to an immunoglobulin molecule or fragment thereof (including the basic four-stranded antibody unit) that can specifically bind to a specific epitope of an antigen. Antibodies can be intact immunoglobulins derived from natural or recombinant sources, or they can be the immunoreactive portion of an intact immunoglobulin. The antibodies of the present invention may exist in various forms, including, for example, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, intracellular antibodies ("intrabodies"), antigen-binding fragments (e.g., Fv, Fab, Fab', F(ab)2, and F(ab')2), as well as single-chain antibodies (scFv), heavy-chain antibodies, such as camelid antibodies, and humanized antibodies (Harlow et al., 1999, Using Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, NY; Harlow et al., 1989, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor, New York; Houston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883; Bird et al., 1988, Science 242:423-426).
[0079] A full-length antibody comprises two heavy chains and two light chains. The variable regions of the light and heavy chains are responsible for antigen binding. The variable domains of the heavy and light chains may be referred to as "VH" and "VL," respectively. The variable regions in both chains typically contain three highly variable loops referred to as complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) (light chain (LC)CDRs containing LC-CDR1, LC-CDR2, and LC-CDR3; heavy chain (HC)CDRs containing HC-CDR1, HC-CDR2, and HC-CDR3). The CDR boundaries of the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein may be defined or identified by the rules of Kabat, Chothia, or Al-Lazikani (Al-Lazikani 1997, Chothia 1985, Chothia 1987, Chothia 1989, Kabat 1987, Kabat 1991). The three CDRs of the heavy or light chain are more highly conserved than the CDRs and interpose between adjacent stretches as framework regions (FRs) known to form a scaffold for supporting the hypervariable loop. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains do not participate in antigen binding but exhibit various effector functions. Antibodies are assigned to classes based on the amino acid sequence of the constant region of their heavy chains. The five major classes or isotypes of antibodies are IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, which are characterized by the presence of α, δ, ε, γ, and μ heavy chains, respectively. Some of the major antibody classes are classified into subclasses, e.g., IgG1 (γ1 heavy chain), IgG2 (γ2 heavy chain), IgG3 (γ3 heavy chain), IgG4 (γ4 heavy chain), IgA1 (α1 heavy chain), or IgA2 (α2 heavy chain).
[0080] The term “antigen-binding fragment” as used herein refers to an antibody fragment that includes, for example, a diabody, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv fragment, disulfide-stabilized Fv fragment (dsFv), (dsFv)2, bispecific dsFv (dsFv-dsFv'), disulfide-stabilized diabody (dsdiabody), single-stranded Fv (scFv), scFv dimer (bivalent diabody), a multispecific antibody formed from a portion of an antibody containing one or more CDRs, a camelized single-domain antibody, a nanobody, a domain antibody, a bivalent domain antibody, or any other antibody fragment that binds to an antigen but does not contain a complete antibody structure. An antigen-binding fragment can bind to the same antigen to which a parent antibody or parent antibody fragment (e.g., parent scFv) binds. In some embodiments, an antigen-binding fragment may contain one or more CDRs derived from a particular human antibody that have been transplanted into a framework region derived from one or more different human antibodies.
[0081] "Fv" is the smallest antibody fragment containing a complete antigen recognition and binding site. This fragment consists of a dimer in which one heavy chain variable domain and one light chain variable domain are tightly and noncovalently associated. The folding of these two domains creates six hypervariable loops (three from the heavy chain and three from the light chain) that provide amino acid residues for antigen binding and confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain (or half of Fv containing only three antigen-specific CDRs) has the ability to recognize and bind to the antigen, albeit with lower affinity than the entire binding site.
[0082] "Single-chain Fv", also abbreviated as "sFv" or "scFv", is an antibody fragment that contains VH and VL antibody domains linked to a single polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, the scFv polypeptide further includes a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains that enables the scFv to form a structure desirable for antigen binding. For a review of scFv, see Pluckthun in The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies, vol. 113, Rosenberg and Moore eds., Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315 (1994).
[0083] "Nanobody" (Nanobody® is a registered trademark of Ablynx), also known as single-domain antibody (sdAb) or single variable domain antibody, is an antibody fragment consisting of a single monomeric antibody variable domain. Like full-length antibodies, nanobodies can selectively bind to specific antigens. Nanobodies have a molecular weight of only 12-15 kDa and are much smaller than typical full-length antibodies (150-160 kDa). A nanobody is a peptide chain approximately 110 amino acids in length that contains one variable domain (VH) of a heavy-chain antibody or a typical IgG. Unlike full-length antibodies, nanobodies such as VHH or V NAR do not exhibit cytotoxicity induced by the complement system because they lack the Fc region. Nanobodies derived from camelids (e.g., VHH) and fish (e.g., V NAR ) can bind to hidden antigens that are inaccessible to full-length antibodies, such as the active site of an enzyme. Nanobodies can be obtained by immunization with a desired antigen in camelids or sharks and subsequent isolation of the mRNA encoding the heavy-chain antibody. Camelids are members of the biological family Camelidae, the only existing family of the suborder Tylopoda. Camels, dromedaries, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos belong to this group. Alternatively, nanobodies can be generated by screening synthetic libraries.
[0084] The "VHH domain," also known as VHH, VHH antibody fragments, and VHH antibodies are a type of nanobody. VHH was first described as the immunoglobulin antigen-binding (variable) domain of "heavy-chain antibodies" (i.e., "antibodies lacking a light chain") (Hamers-Casterman et al (1993) Nature 363:446-448). The term "VHH domain" has been 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 quadruple-chain antibodies. For further explanation of VHH and nanobodies, refer to Muyldermans' review article (J. Biotechnol. 74:277-302, 2001) and the following patent applications listed as general background art: WO94 / 04678, WO95 / 04079, WO96 / 34103; WO94 / 25591, WO99 / 37681, WO00 / 40968, WO00 / 43507, WO00 / 65057, WO01 / 40310, WO01 / 44301, EP1134231, and WO02 / 4 8193;WO97 / 49805, WO01 / 21817, WO03 / 035694, WO03 / 054016, and WO03 / 055527;WO03 / 050531;WO01 / 90190;WO03 / 025020;WO04 / 041867, WO04 / 041862, WO04 / 041865, WO04 / 041863, WO04 / 062551, WO05 / 044858, WO06 / 40153, WO06 / 079372, WO06 / 122786, WO06 / 122787, and WO06 / 122825. As described in these references, nanobodies (particularly VHH sequences and partially humanized nanobodies) may be characterized in particular by the presence of one or more "characteristic residues" in one or more framework sequences.Further descriptions of nanobodies, including humanization and / or camelization of nanobodies, as well as other modifications, parts or fragments, derivatives or “nanobody fusions,” multivalent constructs (including some non-limiting examples of linker sequences), and different modifications to increase the half-life of nanobodies, and their preparations, can be found, for example, in WO08 / 101985 and WO08 / 142164.
[0085] An “isolated” antibody is one identified, separated, and / or recovered from components of its production environment (e.g., natural or recombinant). Preferably, the isolated polypeptide is not associated with all other components from its production environment. Contaminations of the production environment, such as those from recombinant transcellular cells, are typically substances that interfere with the study, diagnostic, or therapeutic use of the antibody and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or non-proteinaceous solutes. In preferred embodiments, the polypeptide is purified to (1) more than 95% by weight of the antibody, and in some embodiments to more than 99% by weight, as determined, for example by the Lowry method; (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of the N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence using a spinning cup sequencer; or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing or reducing conditions using Coomassie blue, or preferably silver staining. The isolated antibody contains the antibody in its in vivo in-situ within recombinant cells, because at least one component of the antibody’s natural environment is absent. However, typically, isolated polypeptides or antibodies are prepared by at least one purification step.
[0086] The "variable region" or "variable domain" of an antibody refers to the amino-terminal domain of the antibody's heavy or light chain. The variable domains of the heavy and light chains may be referred to as "VH" and "VL," respectively. These domains are typically the most variable parts of the antibody (compared to other antibodies of the same class) and contain the antigen-binding site. Antibodies derived solely from camelid species have a single heavy-chain variable region, which is referred to as "VHH." Therefore, VHH is a special type of VH.
[0087] The term "variable" refers to the fact that the sequences of specific segments of the variable domain vary widely among antibodies. The V domain mediates antigen binding and determines the specificity of a particular antibody to that particular antigen. However, variability is not uniformly distributed across the entire range of the variable domain. Rather, it is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions (HVRs) in both the light and heavy chain variable domains. The more highly conserved portion of the variable domain is called the framework region (FR). The natural heavy and light chain variable domains each contain four FR regions, primarily in a β-sheet structure, linked by three HVRs, which link the β-sheet structure and, in some cases, form loops that constitute part of it. The HVRs of each chain are held in close proximity to each other by the FR regions and, together with the HVRs from the other chain, contribute to the formation of the antibody's antigen-binding site (see Kabat et al., Sequences of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD (1991)). The constant domain does not directly participate in antibody binding to antigens, but it exhibits various effector functions, such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
[0088] As used herein, the terms “CDR” or “complementarity-determining region” are intended to mean discontinuous antigen-binding sites found within the variable regions of both heavy and light chain polypeptides.

Biol., 309:657-670 (2001), the definitions therein include duplication or subsets of amino acid residues when compared to one another. Nevertheless, the application of any definition to refer to an antibody or its transplanted antibody or variant CDR is intended to be within the scope of the definitions and terms used herein. For example, CDR prediction algorithms and interfaces are known in the art, including Abhinandan and Martin, Mol.Immunol., 45:3832-3839 (2008), Ehrenmann F. et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 38:D301-D307 (2010), and Adolf-Bryfogle J. et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 43:D432-D438 (2015). The contents of the references cited in this paragraph are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for use in this application and for the possibility of inclusion in one or more claims herein.In some embodiments, the CDR sequences provided herein are based on IMGT definitions. For example, the CDR sequence may be determined by the VBASE2 tool (see also Retter I, Althaus HH, Munch R, Muller W: VBASE2, an integrative V gene database. Nucleic Acids Res. 2005 Jan 1;33 (Database issue): D671-4 (which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety)).
[0089] The terms “Fc region,” “Fc domain,” or “Fc” refer to the non-antigen-binding region at the C-terminus of an immunoglobulin heavy chain, which includes at least a portion of the constant region. This term encompasses both native and variant Fc regions. In some embodiments, the Fc domain is selected from the group consisting of Fc fragments of IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgM, and combinations and hybrids thereof. In some embodiments, the Fc domain is derived from human IgG. In some embodiments, the Fc domain includes the Fc domain of human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, or combinations or hybrid IgG. In some embodiments, the Fc domain has reduced effector function compared to the corresponding wild-type Fc domain (e.g., reduced effector function by at least about 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, as measured by the level of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC)). In some embodiments, the human IgG heavy chain Fc region extends from Cys226 to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain. However, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) of the Fc region may or may not be present without affecting the structure or stability of the Fc region. In some embodiments, the targeting region includes a variant Fc region having at least one amino acid substitution compared to the Fc region of wild-type IgG or wild-type antibody.
[0090] As used herein, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies; that is, the individual antibodies constituting the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations and / or post-translational modifications (e.g., isomerization, amidation) that may be present in small amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific and directed to a single antigenic site. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically contain different antibodies directed to different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody is directed to a single determinant on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies have the advantage that they are synthesized by hybridoma culture and are not contaminated with other immunoglobulins. The modifier “monoclonal” describes the characteristics of an antibody when obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and should not be interpreted as requiring the production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies used in accordance with this application are, for example, those produced by the hybridoma method (e.g., Kohler and Milstein, Nature, 256:495-97 (1975), Hongo et al., Hybridoma, 14(3):253-260 (1995), Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2 nd(ed. 1988), Hammerling et al., in: Monoclonal Antibodies and T-Cell Hybridomas 563-681 (Elsevier, NY, 1981)), Recombinant DNA method (see U.S. Patent Nos. 4,816,567), Phage display technology (e.g., Clackson et al., Nature, 352:624-628 (1991), Marks et al., J. Mol. Biol. 222:581-597 (1992), Sidhu et al., J. Mol. Biol. 338(2):299-310 (2004), Lee et al., J. Mol. Biol. 340(5):1073-1093 (2004), Fellouse, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA See 101(34):12467-12472(2004) and Lee et al., J.Immunol.Methods 284(1-2):119-132(2004), and techniques for producing human or human-like antibodies in animals having a human immunoglobulin locus or a part or all of a gene encoding a human immunoglobulin sequence (e.g., WO1998 / 24893, WO1996 / 34096; WO1996 / 33735, WO1991 / 10741, Jakobovits et al., Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 90:2551(1993), Jakobovits et al., Nature 362:255-258(1993), Bruggemann et al., Year in Immunol. 7:33 (1993), U.S. Patent Nos. 5,545,807, 5,545,806, 5,569,825, 5,625,126, 5,633,425, and 5,661,016, Marks et al., Bio / Technology 10:779-783 (1992), Lonberg et al., Nature 368:856-859 (1994), Morrison, Nature 368:812-813 (1994), Fishwild et al., Nature Biotechnol. 14:845-851 (1996), Neuberger, Nature Biotechnol.It can be produced by various techniques, including (see 14:826 (1996) and Lonberg and Huszar, Intern. Rev. Immunol. 13:65-93 (1995)).
[0091] In this specification, monoclonal antibodies specifically include "chimeric" antibodies (immunoglobulins) and fragments of such antibodies (to the extent that they exhibit the desired biological activity), in which a portion of the heavy chain and / or light chain is identical or homologous to a corresponding sequence of an antibody derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical or homologous to a corresponding sequence of an antibody derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass (insofar as they exhibit the desired biological activity) (U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567; Morrison et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 81:6851-6855 (1984)). Chimeric antibodies of interest in this specification include PRIMATTZFD® antibodies, in which the antigen-binding region of the antibody is derived, for example, from an antibody produced by immunizing a macaque monkey with the antigen of interest. As used herein, "humanized antibodies" are used as a subset of "chimeric antibodies".
[0092] The “humanized” form of a non-human (e.g., mouse) antibody is a chimeric antibody containing a minimal number of sequences derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, the humanized antibody is a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) in which residues derived from the recipient’s HVR (as defined below) are replaced with residues (donor antibody) derived from a non-human species, e.g., mouse, rat, rabbit, or non-human primate, possessing the desired specificity, affinity, and / or capabilities. In some examples, framework ("FR") residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced with corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, the humanized antibody may contain residues not found in the recipient antibody or donor antibody. These modifications may be made to further improve antibody performance, such as binding affinity. Generally, humanized antibodies contain substantially all of at least one, usually two, variable domains, where all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops in these variable domains correspond to non-human immunoglobulin sequences, and all or substantially all of the FR regions correspond to human immunoglobulin sequences, although the FR regions may contain one or more substitutions of individual FR residues that improve antibody performance, such as binding affinity, isomerization, and immunogenicity. The number of these amino acid substitutions in the FR is usually 6 or less in the H chain and 3 or less in the L chain. Humanized antibodies also optionally contain at least a portion of the immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), usually at least a portion of human immunoglobulin. Suitable human acceptor antibodies may be selected from conventional databases, such as the KABAT database, Los Alamos database, AbM, and Swiss Protein database, based on homology to the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the donor antibody. Human antibodies characterized by homology (based on amino acids) to the framework region of the donor antibody may be suitable for providing a heavy chain constant region and / or a heavy chain variable framework region for insertion of the donor CDR. Suitable acceptor antibodies capable of providing a light chain constant region or a variable framework region can be selected in a similar manner. It should be noted that the heavy and light chains of the acceptor antibody do not need to originate from the same acceptor antibody.Prior art describes several methods for producing such humanized antibodies (see, for example, EP-A-0239400 and EP-A-054951). For further details, see, for example, Jones et al., Nature 321:522-525 (1986); Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323-329 (1988); and Presta, Curr. Op. Struct. Biol. 2:593-596 (1992). See, for example, Vaswani and Hamilton, Ann. Allergy, Asthma & Immunol. 1:105-115 (1998), Harris, Biochem. Soc. Transactions 23:1035-1038 (1995), Hurle and Gross, Curr. Op. Biotech. 5:428-433 (1994), and U.S. Patents No. 6,982,321 and 7,087,409.
[0093] A “human antibody” is an antibody having an amino acid sequence corresponding to the amino acid sequence of an antibody produced by a human, and / or an antibody produced using any of the human antibody production techniques disclosed herein. This definition of a human antibody specifically excludes humanized antibodies containing non-human antigen-binding residues. Human antibodies can be produced using various techniques known in the art, including phage display libraries. Hoogenboom and Winter, J.Mol.Biol., 227:381 (1991); Marks et al., J.Mol.Biol., 222:581 (1991). The method described in Cole et al., Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, p.77 (1985); Boerner et al., J.Immunol., 147(1):86-95 (1991) is also available for the preparation of human monoclonal antibodies. See also van Dijk and van de Winkel, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 5:368-74 (2001). Human antibodies can be prepared by administering antigens to transgenic animals, such as immunized xenomouses, in which the endogenous locus has been deactivated while the transgenic animals have been modified to produce such antibodies in response to antigen exposure (see, for example, U.S. Patents 6,075,181 and 6,150,584 relating to XENOMOUSE® technology). See also, for example, Li et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 103:3557-3562 (2006), relating to human antibodies produced by human B-cell hybridoma technology.
[0094] As used herein, “treatment” or “to treat” means an effort to achieve a beneficial or desired outcome, including clinical outcomes. In line with the spirit of this application, beneficial or desired clinical outcomes include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: reducing one or more symptoms caused by the disease; reducing the severity of the disease; stabilizing the disease (e.g., preventing or delaying disease exacerbation); preventing or delaying the spread of the disease; delaying the onset or recurrence of the disease; delaying or slowing the progression of the disease; improving the state of the disease; achieving remission (whether partial or complete) of the disease; reducing the dosage of one or more other drugs required to treat the disease; delaying disease progression; improving quality of life; and / or extending survival. Reduction of the pathological outcomes of the disease is also included in “treatment.” The methods of this application are intended to address any one or more of these aspects of treatment.
[0095] The terms “individual,” “subject,” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein to describe mammals, including humans. In some embodiments, the individual is a human. In some embodiments, the individual is suffering from a disease or condition (e.g., cancer). In some embodiments, the individual requires treatment.
[0096] As understood in the art, “effective dose” refers to the amount of drug (e.g., a targeted conjugate) sufficient to produce a desired therapeutic outcome (e.g., reducing the severity or duration of cancer, stabilizing the severity of cancer, or eliminating one or more symptoms of cancer) or a desired diagnostic outcome. In therapeutic use, beneficial or desired outcomes include, for example, reducing one or more symptoms of a disease (biochemical, histological, and / or behavioral symptoms) (including its complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes seen in the course of disease development), improving the quality of life of a person with a disease, reducing the dose of other drugs required to treat the disease, enhancing the effect of another drug, delaying disease progression, and / or extending the patient’s survival time. In some embodiments, an effective dose of a drug may extend survival time (including overall survival and progression-free survival), produce an objective response (including complete or partial response), reduce one or more signs or symptoms of a disease or condition to some extent, and / or improve the quality of life of the subject.
[0097] With respect to polypeptide sequences and antibody sequences identified herein, “amino acid sequence identity percentage (%)” is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical to the amino acid residues of the polypeptide sequence being compared, after sequence alignment, and any conservative substitutions are considered as part of sequence identity. Alignment for the purpose of determining the amino acid sequence identity percentage can be achieved in various ways within the scope of the art, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, Megalign (DNASTAR), or MUSCLE software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for evaluating the alignment, including any algorithm necessary to obtain the maximum alignment over the entire length of the sequences being compared. However, for the purposes of this specification, the % amino acid sequence identity value is generated using the sequence comparison computer program MUSCLE (Edgar, RC, Nucleic Acids Research 32(5):1792-1797, 2004; Edgar, RC, BMC Bioinformatics 5(1):113, 2004 (each of these is incorporated herein by reference in whole for all purposes)).
[0098] Amino acid substitutions include, but are not limited to, the substitution of one amino acid with another in a polypeptide. Exemplary substitutions are shown in Table 1. Amino acid substitutions can be introduced into antibodies of interest, and the product can be screened for desired activity, such as retention / improvement of antigen binding, decreased immunogenicity, or improvement of ADCC or CDC. [Table 1] Amino acids can be classified according to the following common side-chain characteristics. (1) Hydrophobic: norleucine, met, ala, val, leu, ile; (2) Neutral hydrophilic: Cys, Ser, Thr, Asn, Gln; (3) Acidic: asp, glu; (4) Basicity: His, Lys, Arg; (5) Residues that affect the direction of the chain: gly, pro; (6) Aromatic: Trp, Tyr, Phe. Non-conservative substitution involves replacing one member of one of these classes with one of another.
[0099] The terms “polypeptide” or “peptide” are used herein to encompass all types of naturally occurring and synthetic proteins, including protein fragments of all lengths, fusion proteins, and modified proteins, such as, but not limited to, glycoproteins and all other types of modified proteins (e.g., proteins obtained by phosphorylation, acetylation, myristoylation, palmitoylation, glycosylation, oxidation, formylation, amidation, polyglutamylation, ADP-ribosylation, PEGylation, biotinylation, etc.).
[0100] The term "fusion" refers to the genetic linking of two polypeptide fragments to provide a single, continuous polypeptide ("fusion polypeptide"). The two polypeptide fragments may be linked directly to each other or via another polypeptide placed between them. Standard recombinant DNA techniques or chemical gene synthesis may be used to provide the nucleic acid that genetically encodes the fusion polypeptide.
[0101] The term “epitope,” as used herein, refers to a specific group of atoms or amino acids on an antigen to which an antibody binds. Two antibodies or antigen-binding fragments may bind to the same epitope within an antigen if they exhibit competitive binding to the antigen.
[0102] As used herein, the terms “specifically bind,” “specifically recognize,” and “specific” refer to a measurable and reproducible interaction, e.g., binding, between a target and a targeting moiety (e.g., a targeted peptide or antibody or its antigen-binding fragment). In certain embodiments, specific binding determines the presence of a target in the presence of a heterogeneous population of molecules, including biomolecules (e.g., cell surface receptors). For example, a targeting moiety that specifically recognizes a target (which may be an epitope) is a targeting moiety (e.g., an antibody) that binds to this target with higher affinity, avidity, more readily, and / or for a longer duration compared to its binding to other molecules. In some embodiments, the degree of binding of a targeting moiety to unrelated molecules is less than 10% of its binding to the target, as measured, for example, by radioimmunoassay (RIA). In some embodiments, a targeting moiety that specifically binds to a target is 10 -5 M or less, 10 -6 M or less, 10 -7 M or less, 10 -8 M or less, 10 -9 M or less, 10 -10 M or less, 10 -11 M or less, or 10 -12 It has a dissociation constant (KD) of M or less. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety specifically binds to an epitope on a protein that is conserved between proteins of different species. In some embodiments, specific binding may include, but is not required, exclusive binding. The binding specificity of the targeting moiety can be determined experimentally by methods known in the art. Such methods include, but are not limited to, Western blotting, ELISA, RIA, ECL, IRMA, EIA, BIACORE®, and peptide scanning.
[0103] As used herein, “to link,” “to conjugate,” “to ligate,” and “to fuse” are used interchangeably to refer to the linking of two chemical moieties by either covalent or non-covalent bonds. The linking may be direct or indirect, for example, via a linker.
[0104] The term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a preparation that enables the biological activity of its active ingredients to be effective, and that does not contain additional ingredients that are unacceptably toxic to the subject to which the preparation is administered.
[0105] A "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to one or more components other than the active ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation that are non-toxic to the target. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, buffers, excipients, stabilizers, cryoprotective agents, tonic agents, preservatives, and combinations thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients preferably meet the necessary criteria for toxicity and manufacturing testing and / or are included in an Inactive Ingredient Guide prepared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or another state / federal government, or are listed in the United States Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopoeias for use in mammals, more specifically in humans.
[0106] The term “package insert” is used to refer to the instructions for use that are customarily included on the market packaging of a therapeutic product, which include information on indications, usage, dosage, administration, combination therapy, contraindications, and / or warnings regarding the use of such therapeutic product.
[0107] "Manufactured Article" is any manufactured product (e.g., package or container) or kit comprising at least one reagent, e.g., a drug for the treatment of a disease or condition (e.g., cancer) or a probe for the specific detection of a biomarker described herein. In certain embodiments, the manufactured product or kit may be advertised, distributed or sold as a unit for carrying out the method described herein.
[0108] It will be understood that the embodiments of the present invention described herein include embodiments consisting of and / or essentially consisting of.
[0109] In this specification, references to values or parameters "about" include (and describe) variations relating to the value or parameter itself. For example, a statement referring to "about X" includes a statement of "X".
[0110] As used herein, any reference to a value or parameter that is not a certain value or parameter generally means and describes something that is "other than" a certain value or parameter. For example, "This method is not used to treat disease of type X" means that this method is used to treat disease of a type other than X.
[0111] As used herein, the term "approximately X to Y" has the same meaning as "approximately X to approximately Y".
[0112] As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," or "the" include plural nouns unless explicitly indicated by the context.
[0113] As used herein, terms such as “and / or” and “A and / or B” are intended to encompass both A and B; A or B; A (alone); and B (alone). Similarly, as used herein, terms such as “and / or” and “A, B, and / or C” are intended to encompass each of the following specific expressions: A, B, and C; A, B, or C; A or C; A or B; B or C; A and C; A and B; B and C; A (alone); B (alone); and C (alone).

In some embodiments, the protease cleavage site is located between the PD-L1 targeting moiety and the transglutaminase conjugation site. In some embodiments, the protease cleavage site is not located between the PD-L1 targeting site and the transglutaminase conjugation site.
[0142] In some embodiments, a targeted conjugate is provided that includes a targeting moiety that specifically recognizes Trop-2, wherein the Trop-2 targeted moiety independently includes one or more anti-Trop-2 VHH molecules containing any of the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs. 50, 66, and 203.

[0143] In some embodiments, the conjugation site (C) of the multispecific targeting conjugate may include any preferred number of glutamine-containing tags fused in series with each other. In some embodiments, the number of glutamine-containing tags fused in series with each other may be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20.

[0145] In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate contains a single effector molecule. In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate contains multiple effector molecules. In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate contains a single effector molecule. In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate contains two or more identical effector molecules. In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate contains two or more different effector molecules. In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate contains a single copy of each effector molecule. In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate contains two or more copies of each effector molecule.
[0146] In some embodiments, multispecific targeted conjugates exhibit a high drug load. The term "drug load" refers to the ratio between the number of effector molecules and the number of targeted portions (e.g., antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments) in a multispecific targeted conjugate. For example, an antibody conjugated to a total of eight effector molecules has a drug load of 8. Each molecule in a multispecific targeted conjugate has an integer drug load. However, in a composition, multispecific targeted conjugates of different molecules may have different drug load values. Therefore, a composition may have an average drug load of an integer or non-integer value.

In some embodiments, the multispecific targeting conjugate has an effector molecule to targeting moiety (e.g., a first targeting moiety and / or a second targeting moiety) ratio of approximately 1:1-2:1, 2:1-4:1, 4:1-6:1, 4:1-8:1, 1:1-10:1, 2:1-10:1, 1:1-16:1, 4:1-20:1, 10:1-20:1, 1:1-20:1, or 2:1-20:1.
[0148] In some embodiments, the drug load of the multispecifically targeted conjugate is at least about 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, 12:1, 13:1, 14:1, 15:1, 16:1, 17:1, 17:1, 18:1, 19:1, 20:1, 25:1, 30:1, 35:1, 40:1, 45:1, 50:1, 60:1, 70:1, 80:1, 90:1, 100:1, or more.

[0151] A. First targeting region that specifically recognizes PD-L1 The PD-L1 / Trop-2 multispecific targeting conjugates described herein include a first targeting moiety that specifically recognizes PD-L1. In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety includes (or consists of, or is essentially composed of) one or more PD-L1 targeting peptides, or one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, e.g., 1) anti-PD-L1 antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments. In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety includes one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, e.g., 1) anti-PD-L1 antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments. In some embodiments, the anti-PD-L1 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment is selected from the group consisting of full-length antibodies, diabodies, scFv, scFab, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, sdAb, dsFv, and combinations thereof. The anti-PD-L1 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment may be human, humanized, mouse, camelid, or chimeric. In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety is monospecific. In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety is multispecific (e.g., recognizes two or more different PD-L1 epitopes). In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety is monovalent. In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety is polyvalent (e.g., contains two or more anti-PD-L1 antigen-binding fragments, or a bivalent full-length anti-PD-L1 antibody or F(ab')2). Either the anti-PD-L1 targeting moiety or isolated anti-PD-L1 antibody construct described herein (see, for example, below and Section III) may be used as the first targeting moiety in the PD-L1 / Trop-2 multispecific targeting conjugate described herein. In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety is a full-length anti-PD-L1 antibody. Targeted peptides
[0152] In some embodiments, the first targeting moiety or anti-PD-L1 targeting moiety comprises (or consists of, or is essentially composed of) one or more targeted peptides that specifically bind to PD-L1.
[0153] The term "targeted peptide" refers to a non-antibody-based polypeptide that specifically binds to a target molecule, such as a cell surface molecule at a target site. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety (e.g., an anti-PD-L1 targeting moiety or an anti-Trop-2 targeting moiety) is a fusion protein comprising an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment fused to a targeted peptide that binds to a target molecule (e.g., PD-L1 or Trop-2).
[0154] In some embodiments, the targeted polypeptide includes a non-antibody scaffold. A non-antibody scaffold is a genetically engineered protein scaffold that produces specificity for different types of targets. Compared to antibodies, genetically engineered protein scaffolds have a much smaller size and simpler structure, which facilitates recombinant gene expression, construction of bifunctional fusion proteins, and tissue penetration. See, for example, Skerra, Curr. Opin. Biotech. 2007, 18:298-304. More than 50 different non-antibody scaffolds have been reported. See, for example, Vazquez-Lombardi, Rodrigo, et al. Drug discovery today 20.10(2015):1271-1283. Examples of non-antibody scaffolds include, but are not limited to, lipocalin, anticalin (an artificial antibody-mimetic protein derived from human lipocalin), "T-bodies," peptides (e.g., BICYCLE® peptides), affibodies (antibody mimetics composed of α-helices, e.g., 3-helix bundles), peptidebodies (peptide-Fc fusions), DARPin (designed ankyrin repeat protein (a genetically engineered antibody-mimetic protein consisting of repeating motifs)), affimers, avimers, notchin (a protein structural motif containing three disulfide crosslinks), monobodies, affinity clamps, external domains, receptor external domains, receptors, cytokines, ligands, immune cytokines, and centirin. See, for example, WO2019084060 incorporated herein by reference.
[0155] In some embodiments, the targeting moiety includes antikalin. Antikalin is one of the more ambitiously developed non-antibody scaffolds, and numerous lead compounds targeted against CTLA-4, hepcidin, hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR; MET), IL-4Ra, and IL-23 / IL-17 are in preclinical trials. PRS-050 (ANGIOCAL®; Pieris) is a VEGF-A-targeted anti-angiogenic antikalin currently in Phase I clinical trials. MP0112 (Molecular Partners / Allergan), a VEGF-A-targeted DARPin targeting retinal neovascularization, is also currently being evaluated in clinical trials. FDA-approved non-antibody monoscaffolds include the plasma kallikrein inhibitors Kunitz domain KALBITOR® (ecalantide; Dyax), BERINERT® (CSL-Behring), and CINRYZE® (ViroPharma / Shire), used in the treatment of hereditary angioedema, as well as the bradykinin receptor antagonist FIRAZYR® (Shire). See, for example, Vazquez-Lombardi, Rodrigo, et al. Drug discovery today 20.10 (2015):1271-1283.
[0156] In some embodiments, the targeted peptide comprises a polypeptide derived from a ligand of a receptor or target molecule (e.g., PD-L1 or Trop-2). In some embodiments, the targeted polypeptide is an inhibitory polypeptide that completely or partially (e.g., at least about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 95%) blocks the binding of the target molecule and its ligand or receptor. In some embodiments, the targeted peptide is at least about 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 amino acids, or any of these lengths.
[0157] In some embodiments, the targeted peptide includes a stabilizing domain. The stabilizing domain may be any suitable domain that stabilizes the targeted peptide. In some embodiments, the stabilizing domain extends the half-life of the targeted peptide in vivo. In some embodiments, the stabilizing domain is an Fc domain, e.g., one of the Fc domains described in the “Antibody or its Antigen-Binding Fragment” section. In some embodiments, the stabilizing domain is an albumin domain. In some embodiments, the targeted peptide and the stabilizing domain are fused to each other via a linker, e.g., a peptide linker.
[0158] Peptide linkers may have naturally occurring or non-natural sequences. For example, a sequence derived from the hinge region of a heavy-chain-only antibody may be used as a linker. Peptide linkers may be of any suitable length. In some embodiments, peptide linkers do not take on a rigid three-dimensional structure and tend to provide flexibility to the polypeptide. In some embodiments, the peptide linker is a mobile linker. Exemplary mobile linkers include glycine polymers, glycine-serine polymers, glycine-alanine polymers, alanine-serine polymers, and other mobile linkers known in the art. In some embodiments, the peptide linker includes a substrate sequence for an enzymatic reaction. In some embodiments, the peptide linker includes a substrate sequence for an enzyme that links the targeted peptide and the stabilizing domain.
[0159] Targeted peptides can be obtained using methods known in the art, for example, by screening a library of polypeptides. Polypeptides can be prepared using chemical synthesis or generated using recombinant DNA technology. Nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells for preparation that encode any of the targeted peptides described herein are also provided.

For example, a variant of the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment may include one or more modifications or mutations of the amino acid sequence of the exemplary antibody ("parent antibody") while retaining the overall molecular structure of the parent antibody amino acid sequence. Any region of the parent antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, e.g., one or more framework regions, one or more CDR regions, one or more constant regions, or any combination thereof, may have its amino acid sequence modified. Types of modifications or mutations include substitutions, insertions, deletions, or combinations thereof of one or more amino acids in the parent antibody. In some embodiments, a variant of the anti-PD-L1 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment comprises a CDR (e.g., H-CDR1, H-CDR2, H-CDR3, L-CDR1, L-CDR2, and / or L-CDR3 of sdAb; or CDR1, CDR2, and / or CDR3) having at least about 80% (e.g., at least about 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 99%) sequence identity to the corresponding CDR of the parent antibody. In some embodiments, a variant of the anti-PD-L1 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment comprises one or more CDRs having one, two, or three amino acid mutations (e.g., substitutions, e.g., conserved substitutions) compared to the corresponding CDR(s) of the parent antibody. In some embodiments, the variant of the anti-PD-L1 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment includes a VH having an amino acid sequence identical to that of the VH of the parent antibody by at least about 80% (e.g., at least about 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 99%). In some embodiments, the variant of the anti-PD-L1 antibody or its antigen-binding fragment includes a VL having an amino acid sequence identical to that of the VL of the parent antibody by at least about 80% (e.g., at least about 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 99%).In some embodiments, a variant of an anti-PD-L1 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises an sdAb (e.g., VHH) having an amino acid sequence that is at least about 80% (e.g., any one of at least about 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 99%) identical to the sdAb (e.g., VHH) of the parent antibody. In some particular embodiments, a variant of an anti-PD-L1 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen conservative or non-conservative substitutions, and / or one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen additions and / or deletions to the amino acid sequence shown in any of the VH, VL, heavy chain, and / or light chain (or sdAb) of the parent antibody.
