Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Related Applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 858,949, filed June 7, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0002] Sequence Listing This application contains a Sequence Listing that has been submitted electronically in ASCII format and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The ASCII copy was created on June 3, 2020, is named 1160430o001813.txt, and is 92,322 bytes in size.

[0003] In particular, the present invention relates to anti-Cluster of Differentiation 3 (CD3) antibodies, including multispecific antibodies, and functional fragments thereof, as well as methods and reagents for their identification, isolation, preparation and use. [Background technology]

[0004] Cell proliferative disorders, such as cancer, are characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of cell subpopulations. Cell proliferative disorders are the leading cause of death in developed countries and the second leading cause of death in developing countries. The total number of newly diagnosed cases of cancer each year is predicted to reach 23.6 million by 2030. The National Cancer Institute predicts that approximately 2 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2018, and that more than 600,000 Americans will die from cancer. Therefore, cancer treatment represents a significant and ever-increasing societal burden.

[0005] The idea of ​​harnessing the cytotoxic ability of T cells to kill tumor cells through the use of CD3-targeting bispecific antibodies dates back to the mid-1980s (Staerz et al. Nature 1985 314:628-32). Many bispecific antibodies developed to date contain a first binding site specific for CD3 for T cell recruitment and activation, and a second binding site for a target disease-associated antigen, such as an antigen produced by tumor cells. By binding to its second target protein expressed on tumors, CD3 bispecific antibodies trigger the CD3 surface receptor on T cells, allowing competent T cells to bind to target-expressing cells via cross-linking by the CD3 bispecific antibody, regardless of the peptide / MHC specificity of their T cell receptors. (See, e.g., Bassan, 2012, Blood 120:5094-95). Using CD3 bispecific antibodies to cross-link T cells and tumor cells can induce dramatic regression of advanced malignancies, even resulting in complete remission in some cases. More than 25 different CD3 bispecific antibodies are currently in clinical development for the treatment of hematological malignancies or solid cancers by targeting CD19, CD20, CD33, and CD123, or EpCAM, HER2, PSMA, and CEA, respectively (see, e.g., Liu et al. Front Immunol 2017 8:38).

[0006] While bispecific antibodies have shown significant advantages over monospecific antibodies for cancer treatment and detection, their widespread commercial application has been hindered by the lack of efficient / low-cost production methods, the lack of stability of bispecific polypeptides, and their short half-life in humans. Many methods for generating bispecific monoclonal antibodies have been developed over the past few decades. However, many bispecific antibody candidates with excellent selectivity and high potency for their target of interest often have challenges in downstream development and clinical efficacy, including: multispecific binding (or "multispecificity"), off-target binding, non-specific binding, poor expression levels or profiles in eukaryotic host cells, e.g., mammalian host cells or yeast cells, poor chemical and physical properties, e.g., poor / low "shelf-life" stability, poor (low) solubility, poor (high) viscosity, tendency to aggregate, and poor clinical and biophysical profiles, e.g., poor pharmacokinetic profile, poor pharmacological profile, fast or poor in vivo clearance rate, short circulatory half-life, some of which cause them to be discontinued in development.

[0007] Specific techniques and assays exist for evaluating many of the aforementioned developability characteristics of discovered antibodies in the context of downstream development activities ("post-development antibodies"), e.g., CIC, SIC, BVP-ELISA, TMA, and other assays. However, such assays are often incompatible with the high-throughput formats of early-stage antibody discovery platforms. Furthermore, these characterizations often require milligram- to gram-scale quantities of protein, which often imposes a practical limit on the number of leads that can be considered for development. This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of program success. As a result, significant resources are often expended attempting to qualify poorly characterized lead candidates, with few backups available in later development stages.

[0008] Various CD3 antibodies, including monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibodies, are known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,262,276, 7,635,472, 7,862,813, 9,587,021, and 10,174,124. However, many of these CD3 antibodies have development challenges, such as those outlined above, and / or do not have sufficiently high binding affinity for CD3 for certain multispecific or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) formats or delivery methods. Therefore, there is an unmet need in the art for anti-CD3 bispecific antibodies that exhibit a desirable developability profile and have high affinity for CD3 for use in cancer therapy.

D ) binds to CD3, optionally wherein the CD3 is human and / or cynomolgus monkey CD3, and further optionally wherein the binding affinity is measured by surface plasmon resonance. D is a monovalent K D and / or in this case, the K D is measured using an scFv fragment of the anti-CD3 antibody or antibody fragment. In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody and / or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises a particular CDR sequence motif. In some embodiments, the CDR sequence motif comprises CDRL3 comprising SEQ ID NO: 1. In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody has a favorable developability profile.

[0029] Examples of anti-affinity anti-CD3 antibodies and their antigen-binding fragments "Cluster of Differentiation 3" or "CD3" generally refers to any native CD3 from any vertebrate source, including mammals such as primates (e.g., humans) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats), and includes, for example, the CD3ε chain, the CD3γ chain, the CD3α chain, and the CD3β chain, unless otherwise indicated. The term encompasses "full-length," unprocessed CD3 (e.g., unprocessed or unmodified CD3ε or CD3γ) as well as any form of CD3 that results from processing in cells. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of CD3, such as splice variants or allelic variants. CD3 includes, for example, the human CD3ε protein (NCBI Reference SEQ ID NO: NP _ 000724), which is a 207 amino acid long protein, and human CD3γ protein (NCBI Reference SEQ ID NO: NP_ 000064), which is 182 amino acids in length. The term also refers to human or cynomolgus monkey CD3ε proteins, the amino acid sequences of which are SEQ ID NOs: 131 and 132, respectively (Table 7). "CD3εN27" and "CD3εN13" refer to the N-terminal 27 amino acids and the N-terminal 13 amino acids of CD3, respectively, including any chemical modifications or linkages thereto.

[0030] "Anti-CD3 antibody" refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof capable of binding to CD3, e.g., CD3ε and / or CD3γ, e.g., human CD3ε and / or CD3γ, with sufficient affinity and / or specificity such that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic and / or therapeutic agent in targeting CD3. The anti-CD3 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein have particularly high affinity for CD3.

[0031] The term "high affinity" refers to an antibody that has a binding affinity for CD3, D In some embodiments, K D is approximately 5x10 -10 In some embodiments, K D is approximately 2.5x10 -10 In some embodiments, K D is approximately 1 x 10 -11 In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment has a dissociation constant (K) of about 500 pM or more, about 500 pM or less, about 470 pM or less, about 450 pM or less, about 400 pM or less, about 350 pM or less, about 300 pM or less, about 250 pM or less, about 200 pM or less, about 150 pM or less, or about 100 pM or less. D ) binds to CD3, optionally wherein the CD3 is human and / or cynomolgus monkey CD3, and further optionally wherein the binding affinity is measured by surface plasmon resonance. Dis measured by surface plasmon resonance, e.g., BIACORE, biolayer interferometry using, e.g., a FORTEBIO Octet HTX instrument (Pall Life Sciences), or solution-affinity ELISA. D is measured using an scFv fragment of an anti-CD3 antibody. In some embodiments, a monovalent K D is measured.

[0032] In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody is at a concentration of about 500 pM (5×10 -10 The dissociation constant (K) is less than M D In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody binds to CD3 with a dissociation constant (K) of less than about 250 pM. D In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody binds to CD3 with a dissociation constant (K) of about 100 pM. D In certain embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody binds to an epitope of CD3 that is conserved among CD3 from various species, such as the cross-reactive species of human and cynomolgus monkey.

[0033] K D K can be measured using assays known to those skilled in the art, including, but not limited to, biolayer interferometry (BLI), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), solution equilibrium based kinetic exclusion assays, KinExA direct association assays using ForteBio instruments and reagents, such as Octet RED 384 and HTX BLI-based instruments, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), and radioimmunoassays (RIAs). D Measurements may be performed using a BIACORE® surface plasmon resonance assay with an intact anti-CD3 antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, such as an scFv.

[0034] While high affinity CD3 binders have been associated with inducing or causing cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients, the binding affinity of an antibody to CD3 is not the sole determinant of CRS. For example, high affinity anti-CD3 antibodies (K D Low single-digit nM concentrations have demonstrated potent T cell cytotoxicity against target tumor cells with limited cytokine (IFNγ, IL-6, TNFα) release (see, e.g., Mol Cancer Ther. 2016 Sep;15(9);2155-65 and the APTEVO AACR Poster on preclinical studies of APOV436 presented on April 16, 2018). Without being bound by theory, high-affinity anti-CD3 antibodies may be particularly beneficial for providing specific targeting and minimizing CRS risk in certain formats of multispecific antibodies (e.g., scFv2-Fc2 or scFv-IgG, or other similar multimeric formats) or chimeric antigen receptors with various components assembled in different orders.

[0035] The term "cytokine release syndrome" (or CRS) refers to a pro-inflammatory positive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells, resulting in the excessive and uncontrolled release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by cells within the immune system (see, for example, Lee et al., Blood, Vol. 124, pages 188-195 (2014) and Tisoncik et al., Microbiol Mol Biol Rev, Vol. 76, pages 16-32 (2012)). Upon stimulation and activation, T cells release a range of cytokines at levels and to an extent that produce adverse biological / physiological effects of varying degrees and severity. Such effects include, for example, acute inflammation characterized by redness, swelling or edema, fever, pain, and loss of function. When localized to the skin or other tissues, biological / physiological effects include increased blood flow, allowing vascular leukocytes and plasma proteins to reach extravascular sites of injury, increased local temperature, and the development of pain, tissue edema and extravascular pressure, and decreased tissue perfusion. Other biological / physiological effects include organ and systemic dysfunction, such as heart failure, adult respiratory distress syndrome, neurotoxicity, renal and / or hepatic failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Elevated levels of IFNγ, IL-6, TNFα, TGFβ, IL-2, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-10, IL-8, IL-5, and / or fractalkine have been implicated as indicators and / or causes of CRS or a propensity for T cell stimulation to induce CRS.

[0036] In certain embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein are dumbed down and / or modified to reduce the likelihood or severity of antibody-induced CRS. Non-limiting examples of modifications include silent Fc regions (e.g., removing the Fc entirely or modifying the Fc region to reduce or eliminate effector function) and / or masking (e.g., a polypeptide mask positioned to reduce or inhibit the ability of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to specifically bind to CD3).

[0037] The term "antibody" is used herein in the broadest sense and encompasses a variety of antibody structures, including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and / or antibody fragments (preferably fragments that exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity).

[0038] A "monoclonal antibody" or "mAb" refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical and / or bind to the same epitope, excluding potential variant antibodies (e.g., containing natural mutations or arising during generation of the monoclonal antibody preparation). Such variants are generally present in small amounts. In contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody of a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen.

[0039] For multispecific antibodies, such antibodies contain at least two different antigen-binding domains that recognize and specifically bind to at least two different antigens. For bispecific antibodies, such antibodies contain two different antigen-binding domains that recognize and specifically bind to at least two different antigens. "Different antigens" can refer to different and / or distinct proteins, polypeptides, or molecules, and can also refer to different and / or distinct epitopes. The epitopes may be contained within a single protein, polypeptide, or other molecule.

[0040] The term "epitope" refers to an antigenic determinant that interacts with a specific antigen-binding site in the variable region of an antibody molecule, known as the paratope. A single antigen may have multiple epitopes. Thus, different antibodies may bind to different regions of an antigen and have different biological effects. The term "epitope" also refers to the site on an antigen to which B cells and / or T cells respond. It also refers to the region of an antigen that is bound by an antibody. Epitopes may be defined structurally or functionally. Functional epitopes are generally a subset of structural epitopes and contain residues that directly contribute to the affinity of the interaction. Epitopes may also be conformational; that is, composed of amino acids in a nonlinear configuration. In certain embodiments, epitopes may include determinants that are chemically active surface groupings of molecules, such as amino acids, sugar side chains, phosphoryl groups, or sulfonyl groups. In certain embodiments, epitopes may have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics and / or specific charge characteristics.

[0041] In some instances, antibodies comprise four polypeptide chains: two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. There are five major classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, some of which may be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1, and IgA2. The heavy-chain constant domains that correspond to the different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively.

[0042] In other examples, the antibody may instead include a multimeric form thereof (e.g., IgM) or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. Each heavy chain is composed of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region, the heavy chain constant region comprising domains C, D, E, F, G, H, I, G, I, M ... M, I, M, M, I, M, M, M, M, M, M, M, M H 1. C H 2 and C H Each light chain is composed of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). H Area and V L The regions can be further divided into more conserved regions termed framework regions (FR) and intervening regions of hypervariability termed complementarity determining regions (CDR). H and V L is composed of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. In certain embodiments of the invention, the FRs of an antibody (or antigen-binding fragment thereof) may be identical to human germline sequences, or may be naturally occurring or artificially modified. A consensus sequence of amino acids may be defined based on the alignment and analysis of two or more CDRs. Thus, the heavy chain CDRs are designated "CHRH1," "CDRH2," and "CDRH3," respectively, and the light chain CDRs are designated "CDRL1," "CDRL2," and "CDRL3," respectively.

[0043] Unless specifically indicated otherwise, the term "antibody," as used herein, includes molecules comprising two heavy immunoglobulin chains and two light immunoglobulin chains (i.e., "intact antibody molecules" or "intact antibodies"), as well as antigen-binding fragments thereof.

[0044] An "antigen-binding fragment" refers to a portion of an intact antibody that binds to the antigen to which the intact antibody binds (in this case, CD3). The terms "full length antibody," "intact antibody," and "whole antibody" are used interchangeably herein and refer to an antibody having substantially the same structure as a native antibody.

[0045] Antigen-binding fragments of antibodies include any naturally occurring, enzymatically obtainable, synthetic, or genetically engineered polypeptide or glycoprotein that specifically binds to an antigen to form a complex. Exemplary antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, diabodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., scFv, or only the VH or VL domain), and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. In some embodiments, the antigen-binding fragment of an anti-CD3 antibody described herein is an scFv.

[0046] As with intact antibody molecules, antigen-binding fragments may be monospecific or multispecific (e.g., bispecific). Multispecific antigen-binding fragments of antibodies may contain at least two different variable domains, in which case each variable domain can specifically bind to a distinct antigen or to different epitopes on the same antigen. In the case of the antigen-binding fragments of anti-CD3 antibodies described herein, a variety of multispecific antibody formats can be used.Non-limiting examples of multispecific and bispecific formats include Fab-Fc-scFv (bottle opener type) (XENCOR), Mab-scFv (XENCOR), Mab-Fv (XENCOR), dual scFv (XENCOR), central Fv (XENCOR), central scFv (XENCOR), one-arm central scFv (XENCOR), Fab-Fab (XENCOR), Fab-Fv (XENCOR), mAb-Fv (XENCOR), mAb-Fab (XENCOR), DART (MACROGENICS), BiTE (AMGEN / MICROMET), KiTE, common light chain-IgG (Genentech), TandAb (SFIMED), Cross-Mab (ROCHE), SEED (EMD Serono), BEAT (Glenmark), TrioMab (Trion Pharma / Fresenius Biotech), DuetMab (Medimune), and the like, for example, (WO95 / 09917; WO2008 / 119566; WO2008 / 119567; WO2011 / 121110; WO2010 / 037835; WO2007 / 042261; WO2007 / 110205; WO2011 / 121110; WO2012 / 055961;WO2012 / 16067;WO2016 / 086189;WO2016 / 182751;WO2015 / 006749;WO2014 / 049003;WO201 3 / 177101;WO2015 / 128509;US7,951,917;US2009 / 0252729;US2014 / 0348839;US7,183,076;Mazor et al., Mabs, Vol. 7, pages 377-389 (2015); Muda et al., Protein Engineering, Design, & Selection, Vol. 24, pages 447-454 (2011); and Del Bano et al., Antibodies, Vol. 5, pages 1-23 (2016). In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 scFv fragments described herein comprise one or more variable domains of a multispecific (e.g., bispecific) antibody.

[0047] In certain embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein are contained in multispecific antibodies, particularly bispecific antibodies, having binding specificity for a second antigen. Such a second antigen may be an entirely different target from the first target, or may be a different epitope on the same target. In some embodiments, the binding specificities are for two different epitopes of CD3 (e.g., CD3ε or CD3γ). In other embodiments, one of the binding specificities is for CD3 (e.g., CD3ε or CD3γ), and the other is for a different biological molecule (e.g., a cell surface antigen, e.g., a tumor antigen).

[0048] Non-limiting examples of second antigens to which bispecific antibodies, including anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof, described herein are directed include targets selected from the group consisting of: 17-IA, 4-1BB, 4Dc, 6-keto-PGF1a, 8-iso-PGF2a, 8-oxo-dG, Al adenosine receptor, A33, ACE, ACE-2, activin, activin A, activin AB, activin B, activin C, activin RIA, activin RIA ALK-2, activin RIB.

[0049] Multispecific agents, including anti-CD3 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein, can be engineered using techniques such as, but not limited to, recombinant co-expression of two immunoglobulin heavy chain-light chains with different specificities (see, e.g., Milstein and Cuello, Nature 305:537 (1983)), WO 93 / 08829, and Traunecker et al., EMBO J. 10:3655 (1991)), "knobs-in-holes" engineering (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,168), immunoglobulin crossover (also known as Fab domain swapping or CrossMab format) technology (see, e.g., WO 2009 / 080253; Schaefer et al., EMBO J. 10:3655 (1991)), and other techniques. al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 108:11187-11192 (2011)), engineering electrostatic steering effects on antibody Fc heterodimeric molecules (WO2009 / 089004A1), cross-linking of two or more antibodies or fragments (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,980, and Brennan et al., Science, 229:81 (1985)), leucine zippers (see, e.g., Kostelny et al., J. Immunol, 148(5):1547-1553 (1992)), "diabody" technology (see, e.g., Hollinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:6444-6448 (1993)), single-chain Fv (sFv) dimers (see, e.g., Gruber et al., J. Immunol, 148(5):1547-1553 (1992)), and the like. al., J. ImmunoL, 152:5368 (1994)), and trispecific antibodies as described, for example, in Tutt et al. J. ImmunoL 147:60 (1991).

[0050] The present disclosure also contemplates modifications of the anti-CD3 antibodies disclosed herein, including substitutions, insertions, and / or deletions of one or more amino acids in the FR and / or CDR regions of the heavy and light chain variable domains. Once obtained, such derived antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments may be tested for one or more desirable properties, such as improved binding specificity, increased binding affinity, improved developability, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof comprise a heavy chain (HC) sequence, a light chain (LC) sequence, a CDRH3 sequence, a CDRH2 sequence, a CHRH1 sequence, a CDRL3 sequence, a CDRL2 sequence, a CDRL1 sequence, and / or a framework sequence. In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof have at least about 100%, at least about 99%, at least about 98%, at least about 97%, at least about 96%, at least about 95%, at least about 94%, at least about 93%, at least about 92%, at least about 91%, at least about 90%, at least about 89%, at least about 88%, at least about 87%, at least about 86%, at least about 85%, at least about 84%, at least about 83%, at least about 82%, at least about 80%, and / or all percentages of identity therebetween, of amino acid sequence identity to the corresponding sequences of the anti-CD3 antibodies disclosed in Table 4 (Ab1-Ab50). In some embodiments, percent identity is measured by any known algorithm for sequence identity, such as, for example, FASTA, BLAST, or GAP.

[0052] In some embodiments, residue positions that are not identical differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. A "conservative amino acid substitution" is one in which an amino acid residue is replaced with another amino acid residue having a side chain (R group) with similar chemical properties (e.g., charge or hydrophobicity). Generally, conservative amino acid substitutions do not substantially change the functional properties of a protein. When two or more amino acid sequences differ from each other by conservative substitutions, the percent or degree of similarity may be adjusted upward to correct for the conservative nature of the substitution. Means for making this adjustment are known to those of skill in the art. (See, e.g., Pearson (1994) Methods Mol. Biol. 24:307-331.) Examples of groups of amino acids with side chains having similar chemical properties include: 1) aliphatic side chains: glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, and isoleucine, 2) aliphatic-hydroxyl side chains: serine and threonine, 3) amide-containing side chains: asparagine and glutamine, 4) aromatic side chains: phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, 5) basic side chains: lysine, arginine, and histidine, 6) acidic side chains: aspartic acid and glutamic acid, and 7) sulfur-containing side chains: cysteine ​​and methionine. In some embodiments, conservative amino acid substitution groups are valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, glutamic acid-aspartic acid, and asparagine-glutamine. Alternatively, in some embodiments, a conservative substitution includes any change that has a positive value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix disclosed in Gonnet et al. (1992) Science 256:1443 45. In some embodiments, a "moderately conservative" substitution includes any change that has a non-negative value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix.

[0053] Substitution of one or more CDR residues or omission of one or more CDRs is also possible. The scientific literature reports antibodies in which one or two CDRs can be deleted to alter binding. Padlan et al. (1995 FASEB J. 9:133-139) analyzed the contact regions between antibodies and their antigens based on published crystal structures and concluded that only approximately one-fifth to one-third of the CDR residues actually contact their associated antigen. Padlan also found that in many antibodies, one or two CDRs do not contain any amino acids that contact the antigen (see also Vajdos et al. 2002 J Mol Biol 320:415-428). CDR residues that do not contact the antigen can be identified by molecular modeling and / or empirically based on previous studies from regions of the Kabat CDRs outside the Cho Chia CDRs (e.g., residues H60-H65 of CDRH2 are often not required). When a CDR or residue thereof is omitted, it is usually replaced with an amino acid at the corresponding position in another human antibody sequence or a consensus of such sequences. The position of substitution within the CDR, and the amino acid to be substituted, can also be selected empirically.

[0054] In certain embodiments, substitutions, insertions, or deletions may be present in one or more CDRs of the anti-CD3 antibodies described herein, so long as such changes do not substantially reduce the ability of the antibody to bind to its antigen. For example, conservative changes (e.g., conservative substitutions provided herein) that do not substantially reduce binding affinity may be made in a CDR. Such changes may, for example, be outside the antigen-contacting residues in the CDR. In certain embodiments of the variant VH and VL sequences provided above, each CDR contains no alterations or no more than one, two, or three amino acid substitutions.

[0055] A useful method for identifying antibody residues or regions that can be targeted for mutagenesis is called "alanine scanning mutagenesis," described in Cunningham and Wells (1989) Science, 244:1081-1085. In this method, a residue or group of target residues (e.g., charged residues such as arg, asp, his, lys, and glu) is identified and replaced with neutral or negatively charged amino acids (e.g., alanine or polyalanine), and it is determined whether the antibody-antigen interaction is affected. Further substitutions can be introduced at amino acid positions that show functional sensitivity to the initial substitution. Alternatively, or in addition, crystal structures of antigen-antibody complexes can be used to identify contact points between the antibody and antigen. Such contact residues and adjacent residues can be targeted or excluded from substitution candidates. Variants can be screened to determine whether they contain desirable properties.

[0056] Amino acid sequence insertions include amino- and / or carboxyl-terminal fusions ranging in length from one residue to polypeptides containing several hundred or more residues, as well as intersequence insertions of single or multiple amino acid residues. An example of a terminal insertion is an antibody with an N-terminal methionyl residue. Other insertional variants of antibody molecules include the fusion to the antibody N- or C-terminus to an enzyme (e.g., an enzyme for ADEPT) or a polypeptide that increases the serum half-life of the antibody.

[0057] As described throughout, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof provided herein have favorable developability and are therefore relatively amenable to development.

[0058] The term "developable" refers to the extent to which one or more polypeptides in a plurality of polypeptides possess desirable properties, such as, for example, desirable expression in mammalian cells, solubility, viscosity, aggregation, chemical and / or physical stability, a desirable shelf life, melting point, pharmacokinetic profile, circulating half-life, and clearance characteristics. Such properties may be treated individually, as a combination of a subset of such properties, or collectively, as indicators of the likelihood that the one or more polypeptides will be successfully developed as therapeutic candidates and ultimately become approved drugs. Thus, as understood in the art, polypeptides having desirable developability properties generally possess, for example, relatively high solubility, relatively low viscosity, relatively low tendency to aggregate, relatively high chemical stability, relatively high physical stability, a relatively long shelf life, a relatively high melting point, a relatively long circulating half-life, a relatively long clearance time, etc. Polypeptides with undesirable developability properties possess, for example, relatively low solubility, relatively high viscosity, relatively high tendency to aggregate, relatively poor chemical stability, relatively poor physical stability, relatively short shelf life, relatively low melting point, relatively short circulatory half-life, relatively long clearance time, etc.

[0059] Methods and assays that can be employed to confirm the extent to which a polypeptide, such as, for example, an anti-CD3 antibody and / or antigen-binding fragment thereof described herein, possesses desirable developability properties are available in the art, such as, for example, PSR assays (WO2014 / 179363, and Xu et al., Protein Eng Des Sol, Vol. 26, pages 663-670 (2013)), SMP assays and SCP assays, cross-interaction chromatography (CIC), self-interaction chromatography (SIC), dynamic light scattering, size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), dynamic light scattering (DLS) spectroscopy, photon correlation spectroscopy, quasi-elastic light scattering, circular dichroism (CD), viscosity measurements, whole cell binding, tissue microarray methodology, BVP ELISA assays, AC-SINS assays (Liu et al; MAbs, Vol. 6, 483-492 (2014)); differential scanning calorimetry, and the like (e.g., He et al. al.,J.Pharm.Sci.,Vol.100(4),pp.1330-1340(2011);Wagner et al.,Pharm.Develop.& Technol(Posted online in 2012;hyper-text transfer protocol:informahealthcare.com / doi / abs / 10.3109 / 10837450.2011.649851);Hotzel et al.,mAbs,Vol.4(6),753-7601(2012);Weiqiang et al. al.,J.Pharm.Sci.,Vol.101(5),pp.1701-1720(2012);Banks et al.,J.Pharm.Sci.,Vol.101(8),pp.2720-2732(2012);Lie et al. al., J. Pharm. Sci., Vol. 94(9), pp. 1928-1948 (2005); and Payne et al., Biopolymers, Vol. 85(5), pp. 527-533 (2006).

[0060] In some embodiments, antibodies identified as having low developability are so detected by their interaction with a multispecific reagent (PSR) and are therefore referred to as "multispecific" polypeptides. Such multispecific antibodies may also be referred to as relatively "undevelopable" or relatively "non-developable."

[0061] A "developability profile" refers to an index that can be assigned to an antibody when assessing its developability. A developability profile is a scale or metric by which the developability of anti-CD3 antibodies can be evaluated, compared, and / or ranked. Such a developability profile serves as a measure of the degree of interaction between a CD3-binding substance and an antibody comprising the same. The degree of interaction may be assessed by any number of means available in the art that provide an output value that correlates with the strength or affinity of a polypeptide for a conjugated moiety. Exemplary means include, for example, flow cytometry such as FACS, ELISA, quantitative immunoaffinity assays, immunoprecipitation assays, mammalian two-hybrid assays, or yeast two-hybrid assays. In the case of FACS, as shown in the examples, the degree of interaction between a polypeptide in a plurality of polypeptides and PSR may be ascertained by generating a mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for each detected polypeptide-PSR interaction, then ordering the MFIs in either ascending or descending order, thereby ranking the polypeptides in the plurality of polypeptides according to the relative degree of interaction between each detected polypeptide and PSR. By performing such a ranking on a plurality of polypeptides, polypeptides with high developability can be easily identified, and polypeptides with low developability can also be easily identified.

[0062] The developability profile may also take the form of a normalized score, for example, by normalizing the developability of an anti-CD3 antibody described herein to the developability of a standard (or control) antibody, such as an anti-HEL antibody.

[0063] In certain embodiments, the CD3-binding domains of the present invention and antibodies comprising the same may be further modified to contain additional nonproteinaceous moieties known and readily available in the art. Suitable moieties for derivatization of antibodies include, but are not limited to, water-soluble polymers. Non-limiting examples of water-soluble polymers include polyethylene glycol (PEG), ethylene glycol / propylene glycol copolymers, carboxymethylcellulose, dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, poly-1,3-dioxolane, poly-1,3,6-trioxane, ethylene / maleic anhydride copolymers, polyamino acids (either homopolymers or random copolymers), and dextran or poly(n-vinylpyrrolidone), polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol homopolymer, polypropylene oxide / ethylene oxide copolymers, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol), polyvinyl alcohol, and combinations thereof. Polyethylene glycol propionaldehyde may be advantageous in manufacturing due to its stability in water. The polymer may be of any molecular weight and may be branched or unbranched. The number of polymers attached to an antibody can vary, and when multiple polymers are attached, they can be the same molecule or different molecules. Generally, the number and / or type of polymers used for derivatization can be determined depending on considerations including, but not limited to, the particular property or function of the antibody to be improved, whether the antibody derivative will be used therapeutically under defined conditions, etc.

[0064] In one embodiment, the CD3 binding domains of the present invention and antibodies comprising the same are provided with enhanced developability profiles, which are obtained by performing one or more of a PSR assay, a SCP assay, an AC-SINS assay, an ELISA, a DSF assay, a Tm assay, an HIC assay, a CIC assay, or a combination thereof.

[0065] In other embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein exhibit a poly-specificity reagent (PSR) score of about 0.0 to about 0.45, about 0.0 to about 0.4, about 0.0 to about 0.35, about 0.0 to about 0.3, about 0.0 to about 0.25, about 0.0 to about 0.2, about 0.0 to about 0.15, or about 0.0 to about 0.1. A score of 0.0 to 0.1 is a "clean PSR." A score of 0.1 to 0.33 is a "low PSR." A score of 0.33 to 0.66 is a "medium PSR." A score of 0.66 to 1.00 is a "high PSR." A high PSR score indicates reduced (or poor) developability. Generally, the lower the PSR score, the more favorable the antibody's developability.

[0066] In still other embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein exhibit an HIC score of less than about 10.5 minutes (clean to low HIC score), between about 10.5 minutes and 11.5 minutes (medium HIC score), or greater than about 11.5 minutes (high HIC score). Generally, the lower the HIC score, the more favorable the antibody's developability.

[0067] In still other embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein exhibit an SEC score of less than about 95%, indicating that the antibody is monomeric, i.e., not aggregated.

[0068] In still other embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein exhibit a Tm of less than about 65°C.

[0069] In some embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein may be further modified to minimize effector function, e.g., a silenced Fc.

[0070] "Effector function" refers to a biological activity attributable to the Fc region of an antibody and varies depending on the antibody isotype. Exemplary effector functions include C1q binding, complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), Fc receptor binding, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), phagocytosis, down-regulation of cell surface receptors (e.g., B cell receptors), and B cell activation.

[0071] The "Fc region" is the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain containing at least a portion of the constant region, including native-sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. The Fc region of a human IgG heavy chain can range from Cys226 or from Pro230 to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain. However, the C-terminal lysine (Lys447) of the Fc region may be present or absent. Unless otherwise specified herein, the numbering of amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region follows the EU numbering system, also known as the EU index. This system is described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed., Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991.

[0072] In certain embodiments, one or more amino acid modifications may be introduced into the Fc region of an anti-CD3 antibody of the disclosure, thereby generating an Fc region variant (see, e.g., US2012 / 0251531). The Fc region variant may comprise a human Fc region sequence (e.g., a human IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4 Fc region) containing an amino acid modification (e.g., substitution) at one or more amino acid positions.

[0073] In certain embodiments, the present disclosure contemplates anti-CD3 antibody variants that retain some, but not all, effector functions, making them desirable candidates for applications in which in vivo antibody half-life is important but certain effector functions (e.g., complement and ADCC) are unnecessary or deleterious. In vitro and / or in vivo cytotoxicity assays can be performed to confirm the reduction / loss of CDC and / or ADCC activity. For example, Fc receptor (FcR) binding assays can be performed to confirm that the antibody lacks FcγR binding (and thus likely lacks ADCC activity) but retains FcRn binding ability. Primary cells that mediate ADCC (e.g., NK cells) express only FcγIII, whereas monocytes express FcγRI, FcγRII, and FcγRIII. FcR expression on hematopoietic cells is summarized in Table 3 on page 464 of Ravetch and Kinet, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 9:457-492 (1991). Non-limiting examples of in vitro assays for assessing ADCC activity of a molecule of interest are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,500,362 (e.g., Hellstrom, I. et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 83:7059-7063 (1986)) and Hellstrom, I. et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 82:1499-1502 (1985); U.S. Pat. No. 5,821,337 (see Bruggemann, M. et al., J. Exp. Med. 166:1351-1361 (1987)). Alternatively, non-radioactive assay methods may be employed (see, e.g., ACTI™ Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay for Flow Cytometry (Cell Technology, Inc., Mountain View, CA); and CytoTox 96® Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay (Promega, Madison, WI)). Useful effector cells for such assays include peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and natural killer cells (NK).Alternatively, or in addition, the ADCC activity of the molecule of interest may be assessed in vivo in an animal model, such as that disclosed in Clynes et al. Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 95:652-656 (1998). A C1q binding assay may be performed to confirm that the antibody is unable to bind to C1q and therefore lacks CDC activity. See, for example, the C1q and C3c binding ELISAs in WO2006 / 029879 and WO2005 / 100402. To assess complement activation, a CDC assay may be performed (see, e.g., Gazzano-Santoro et al. J.

[0084] Preparation of anti-CD3 antibodies and their antigen-binding fragments Anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof may be produced using recombinant methods. For example, isolated nucleic acids encoding the anti-CD3 antibodies described herein are provided. The nucleic acids may encode an amino acid sequence comprising the antibody VL and / or an amino acid sequence comprising the antibody VH (e.g., the antibody light chain and / or heavy chain). In further embodiments, one or more vectors (e.g., expression vectors) comprising such nucleic acids are provided. In further embodiments, host cells comprising such nucleic acids are provided. In one such embodiment, the host cell comprises (e.g., is transformed with) (1) a vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an amino acid sequence comprising the antibody VL and an amino acid sequence comprising the antibody VH, or (2) a first vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an amino acid sequence comprising the antibody VL and a second vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding an amino acid sequence comprising the antibody VH. In one embodiment, the host cell is a eukaryotic cell, such as a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell or a lymphoid cell (e.g., a Y0, NS0, or Sp20 cell). In one embodiment, a method of producing an anti-CD3 antibody is provided, the method comprising culturing a host cell containing nucleic acid encoding the antibody, as described above, under conditions suitable for expression of the antibody, and optionally recovering the antibody from the host cell (or host cell culture medium).

[0085] The term "host cell" refers to a cell into which exogenous nucleic acid has been introduced, including the progeny of such a cell. Host cells include transformants and transformed cells, which include the primary transformed cell and its progeny without regard to the number of transfers.

[0086] For recombinant production of an anti-CD3 antibody, nucleic acid encoding the antibody is isolated, e.g., as described above, and inserted into one or more vectors for further cloning and / or expression in host cells. The nucleic acid can be readily isolated and sequenced using conventional methods (e.g., by using oligonucleotide probes capable of binding specifically to genes encoding the antibody heavy and light chains).

[0087] Suitable host cells for cloning or expressing antibody-encoding vectors include prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. For example, antibodies can be produced in bacteria, particularly if glycosylation and Fc effector functions are not required. For the expression of antibody fragments and polypeptides in bacteria, see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,648,237, 5,789,199, and 5,840,523. (Furthermore, see Charlton, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (BKC Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, NJ, 2003), pp. 245-254, which describes the expression of antibody fragments in E. coli.) After expression, the antibody can be isolated in a soluble fraction from the bacterial cell paste and further purified. In addition to prokaryotes, eukaryotes such as filamentous fungi or yeast, including fungal and yeast strains whose glycosylation pathways have been "humanized" to produce antibodies with partially or fully human glycosylation patterns, are also suitable cloning or expression hosts for antibody-encoding vectors. See, for example, Gerngross, Nat. Biotech. 22:1409-1414 (2004), and Li et al., Nat. Biotech. 24:210-215 (2006); WO2009 / 036379; WO2010 / 105256; and WO2012 / 009568. Plant cell cultures can also be used as hosts. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,959,177, 6,040,498, 6,420,548, 7,125,978, and 6,417,429 (which describe the PL Antibody™ technology for producing antibodies in transgenic plants). Vertebrate cells can also be used as hosts. For example, mammalian trunk cell lines adapted to grow in suspension may be useful.Other examples of useful mammalian host cell lines include SV40 (COS-7) transformed monkey kidney CV1 cells, human embryonic kidney cell lines (e.g., 293 or 293 cells described in Graham et al., J. Gen Virol. 36:59 (1977)), baby hamster kidney cells (BHK), mouse Sertoli cells (e.g., TM4 cells described in Mather, Biol. Reprod. 23:243-251 (1980)), monkey kidney cells (CV1), African green monkey kidney cells (VERO-76), human cervical carcinoma cells (HELA), canine kidney cells (MDCK; buffalo rat liver cells (BRL 3A), human lung cells (W138), human liver cells (Hep G2), mouse mammary tumor (MMT 060562), e.g., Mather et al., Annals TRI cells, MRC 5 cells, and FS4 cells, described in NYAcad. Sci. 383:44-68 (1982). Other useful mammalian host cell lines include Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including DHFR-CHO cells (Urlaub et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216 (1980)), and myeloma cell lines, such as Y0, NS0, and Sp2 / 0. For a review of specific mammalian host cell lines suitable for antibody production, see, for example, Yazaki and Wu, Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 248 (BKC Lo, ed., Humana Press, Totowa, NJ), pp. 255-268 (2003).

[0088] Anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof may be identified, screened, selected, or characterized for their physical / chemical properties and / or biological activity using various assays known in the art, such as ELISA and Western blotting. Alternatively, a competitive assay may be used to identify antibodies that compete with the anti-CD3 antibodies of the present invention for binding to CD3. In an example of a competitive assay, immobilized CD3 is incubated in a solution containing a first labeled antibody that binds to CD3 and a second unlabeled antibody that is tested for its ability to compete with the first antibody for binding to CD3. The second antibody may be present in hybridoma supernatant. As a control, immobilized CD3 is incubated in a solution containing the first labeled antibody but not the second unlabeled antibody. After incubation under conditions that allow the first antibody to bind to CD3, excess unbound antibody is removed, and the amount of label bound to the immobilized CD3 is measured. A significant decrease in the amount of label bound to immobilized CD3 in the test sample compared to the control sample indicates that the first and second antibodies compete for binding to CD3 (see, e.g., Harlow and Lane (1988) Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Ch. 14 (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY)).

[0089] Biologically active anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof may be identified using standard methods. Biological activity may include, for example, binding to CD3 on the surface of T cells, either in vivo, in vitro, or ex vivo. In the case of multispecific anti-CD3 antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies having one arm that binds to CD3 and another arm that binds to a different target, such as a tumor antigen or a cell surface antigen), biological activity may also include effector cell activation (e.g., activation of CD8+ T cells and / or CD4+ T cells), expansion of the effector cell population (i.e., an increase in the number of T cells), depletion of the target cell population (i.e., a decrease in the population of cells expressing a second biological molecule on their surface), and / or killing of target cells.

[0111] The disclosed antibodies (and / or any additional therapeutic agents) can be administered by any suitable means, including parenteral, intrapulmonary, and intranasal administration, or, if localized treatment is desired, by intralesional administration. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. In some embodiments, the antibody is administered subcutaneously. In some embodiments, an anti-CD3 antibody administered by subcutaneous injection exhibits a lower toxic response in patients than the same anti-CD3 antibody administered by intravenous injection. Dosing can be by any suitable route, e.g., by injection, e.g., intravenous or subcutaneous injection, depending in part on whether the administration is temporary or chronic. Various dosing schedules are contemplated herein, including, but not limited to, a single dose or multiple doses over various time points, a bolus dose, and pulse infusion.

[0112] The antibodies of the present disclosure are formulated, dosed, and administered in a manner consistent with sound medical practice. Factors to consider in this context include the particular disorder being treated, the particular mammal being treated, the clinical condition of the individual patient, the cause of the disorder, the site of delivery of the agent, the method of administration, the administration schedule, and other factors known to medical professionals. Although not required, the antibodies may optionally be formulated with one or more agents currently used to prevent or treat the disorder in question. The effective amount of such other agents will depend on the amount of antibody present in the formulation, the type of disorder or treatment, and other factors discussed above. These will generally be used at the same doses and by the same routes of administration as those described herein, or at approximately 1-99% of the doses described herein, or at any dose and by any route empirically / clinically determined to be appropriate.

[0113] The appropriate dose of the disclosed antibodies (whether used alone or in combination with one or more other additional therapeutic agents) for the prevention or treatment of disease will depend on the type of disease being treated, the type of antibody, the severity and course of the disease, whether the antibody is being administered for prophylactic or therapeutic purposes, previous treatments, the patient's medical history and responsiveness to the antibody, and the discretion of the attending physician. The antibody is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments.

[0114] As a general rule, a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-CD3 antibody administered to a human, whether administered as a single dose or multiple doses, will be in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg / kg of patient body weight. In some embodiments, the antibody used is administered daily at, for example, about 0.01 to about 45 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 40 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 35 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 30 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 25 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 20 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 15 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 10 mg / kg, about 0.01 to about 5 mg / kg, or about 0.01 to about 1 mg / kg. In one embodiment, an anti-CD3 antibody described herein is administered to a human at a dose of about 100 mg, about 200 mg, about 300 mg, about 400 mg, about 500 mg, about 600 mg, about 700 mg, about 800 mg, about 900 mg, about 1000 mg, about 1100 mg, about 1200 mg, about 1300 mg, or about 1400 mg on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The dose may be administered as a single dose or multiple doses (e.g., two or three doses), e.g., by infusion. When administered repeatedly over several days or longer, treatment is generally sustained until a desired suppression of disease symptoms occurs, depending on the condition. One exemplary dose of the antibody ranges from about 0.05 mg / kg to about 10 mg / kg. Thus, one or more doses of about 0.5 mg / kg, 2.0 mg / kg, 4.0 mg / kg, or 10 mg / kg (or any combination thereof) may be administered to the patient. Such doses may be administered intermittently, for example, weekly or every three weeks (e.g., the patient receives about two to about twenty, or, for example, about six, doses of anti-CD3 antibody). An initial higher loading dose may be administered, followed by one or more lower loading doses. The progress of this therapy is easily monitored by conventional techniques and assays.

[0115] In some embodiments, the disclosed methods may further comprise an additional therapy. The additional therapy may be radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, gene therapy, DNA therapy, viral therapy, RNA therapy, immunotherapy, bone marrow transplant, nanotherapy, monoclonal antibody therapy, or a combination of the foregoing. The additional therapy may be in the form of adjuvant therapy or neoadjuvant therapy. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is administration of a small molecule enzyme inhibitor or an anti-metastatic agent. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is administration of a side effect-limiting agent (e.g., an agent intended to reduce the occurrence and / or severity of side effects of the therapy, such as an antiemetic). In some embodiments, the additional therapy is radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is surgery. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is a combination of radiation therapy and surgery. In some embodiments, the additional therapy is gamma irradiation. In some embodiments, the additional therapy may be the separate administration of one or more of the aforementioned therapeutic agents.

[0116] Another aspect of the present disclosure provides an article of manufacture containing materials useful for the treatment, prevention, and / or diagnosis of the aforementioned disorders. The article of manufacture includes a container and a label or package insert on or associated with the container. Suitable containers include, for example, bottles, vials, syringes, IV solution bags, etc. The container may be formed from a variety of materials, such as glass or plastic. The container may hold the composition alone or in combination with another composition effective for the treatment, prevention, and / or diagnosis of a condition, and may have a sterile access port (e.g., the container may be an intravenous solution bag or a vial with a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic injection needle). At least one active agent in the composition is an antibody of the present invention. The label or package insert indicates that the composition is used for treating the selected condition. Additionally, the article of manufacture may include (a) a first container containing a composition contained therein, the composition comprising an antibody of the present invention, and (b) a second container containing a composition contained therein, the composition comprising an additional cytotoxic agent or another therapeutic agent. The article of manufacture in this embodiment of the invention may further include a package insert indicating that the composition can be used to treat a particular condition. Alternatively, or in addition, the article of manufacture may further include a second (or third) container containing a pharmaceutically acceptable buffer, such as bacteriostatic water for injection (BWFI), phosphate-buffered saline, Ringer's solution, and dextrose solution. It may further include other materials desirable from a commercial and user standpoint, including other buffers, diluents, filters, needles, and syringes.

[0117] Accordingly, the manufacture and / or preparation of pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein are also contemplated. The compositions may be used alone or in combination with other active agents to treat cell proliferative disorders (e.g., cancer) or autoimmune disorders (e.g., arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune type 1 diabetes, etc.).

[0118] In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the anti-CD3 antibodies and / or antigen-binding fragments thereof described herein are prepared, for example, by combining the antibodies having the desired purity with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980)) in the form of a lyophilized formulation or an aqueous solution, optionally prepared for modified (e.g., sustained) release. Exemplary lyophilized antibody formulations are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,267,958. Aqueous antibody formulations include those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,171,586 and WO 2006 / 044908, the latter of which contains a histidine-acetate buffer.

[0119] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are generally non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed and include, but are not limited to, buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (e.g., octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, hexamethonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, phenol, butyl alcohol or benzyl alcohol, alkyl parabens such as methyl paraben or propyl paraben, catechol, resorcinol, cyclohexanol, 3-pentanol, and m-cresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include proteins such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins, hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates, including glucose, mannose, or dextrin, chelating agents such as EDTA, sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose, or sorbitol, salt-forming counterions such as sodium, metal complexes (e.g., Zn-protein complexes), and / or non-ionic surfactants such as polyethylene glycol (PEG). Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers herein also include interstitial drug dispersion agents, such as soluble neutral-active hyaluronidase glycoprotein (sHASEGP), for example, human soluble PH-20 hyaluronidase glycoprotein, for example, rHuPH20 (HYLENEX®, Baxter International, Inc.). Certain exemplary sHASEGPs, including rHuPH20, and methods of using same are described in U.S. Patent Application Publications 2005 / 0260186 and 2006 / 0104968.

[0120] Such formulations may contain more than one active ingredient, if necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably ingredients with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other, and that are present in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended. For example, it may be desirable to further provide additional therapeutic agents (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents, cytotoxic agents, growth inhibitory agents, and / or antihormonal agents, etc.).

[0121] The active ingredient may be encapsulated in microcapsules prepared by droplet formation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, such as hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin microcapsules, and poly(methyl methacrylate) microcapsules, in colloidal drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nanoparticles, and nanocapsules), or in the form of macroemulsions, respectively. Such techniques are disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980). [Example]

[0126] [Table 5]

[0127] material and method In addition to the above description, the following materials and methods were employed in this example.

[0128] FACS affinity pressure selection method. Briefly, yeast cells (at least approximately 2 x 10 7 Cells (labeling condition) were incubated with biotinylated antigen in sufficient stoichiometric excess relative to the average IgG presentation. Antigen labeling conditions were 100–1 nM under equilibration conditions, typically performed for 20 minutes to several hours at room temperature in FACS wash buffer (phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) / 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)). After three washes with wash buffer, yeast were stained for 15 minutes at 4°C with a 1:100 dilution of the secondary reagent anti-human light chain FITC conjugate (LC-FITC) and either a 1:500 dilution of streptavidin-633 (SA-633) or a 1:50 dilution of extraavidin-phycoerythrin (EA-PA). After two washes with ice-cold wash buffer, the cell pellet was stained with a 1x10 IgG antibody. 7 Yeast were resuspended in at least 1 mL of wash buffer per yeast and transferred to a strainer-capped sort tube. Sorting was performed using a FACS ARIA sorter (BD Biosciences) to determine sort gating and select binders. After the final round of sorting, yeast were plated and individual colonies were picked and characterized.

[0129] FACS heat-stress selection method. Parent antibodies were diversified by error-prone PCR to derive an optimized library in yeast. This yeast library first underwent a positive antigen selection round and was selected for binder expression using CD3εN27. The enriched population was then subjected to a series of heat-stress conditions ranging from approximately 50°C to a maximum of 65°C for 10 minutes, with room temperature as a control. Optimal pressure conditions were gated on LC presentation (anti-human lambda PE) and antigen binding (SA-APC), reflecting residual folded IgG capable of binding to the selection reagent. Sorted cells were pelleted, and plasmids were extracted using a commercially available yeast plasmid purification kit (Zymo Research). In this kit, the yeast cell wall is disrupted with Zymolase, and DNA is subsequently purified using DNA minicolumns. Plasmid DNA was then transformed into E. coli for amplification, and plasmid DNA was isolated by miniprep using an E. coli plasmid purification kit (Qiagen). Plasmid DNA is then prepared for transformation into an appropriate yeast strain followed by cycle selection or sequence analysis and IgG production.

[0130] Optimization of error-prone PCR. Stochastic diversity was introduced by error-prone PCR-based mutagenesis of the heavy chain (VH) and / or light chain (VL) using standard molecular biology techniques. Briefly, the mutagenic nucleotide analogs dPTP and 8-oxo-dGTP were incorporated into the VH and VL amplification process at a concentration of 1 μM to increase the frequency of base misincorporation by approximately 0.01 bp. The mutated PCR products were recombined in situ by homologous recombination with linearized vectors containing the HC or LC constant region sequences. Typically, this resulted in 1x10 7-8 A diverse library of 1000 nucleotides was obtained. The antigen-antibody-yeast complex was incubated for varying periods of time with decreasing concentrations of antigen (equilibrium pressure) or parental Fab competitor (equilibrium and dynamic pressure), applying joint pressure on affinity and expression, and the highest affinity antibodies were selected on FACS during successive selection rounds.

[0131] Oligonucleotide-Based CDR H3 Mutagenesis. Discovered or previously optimized antibodies can be further optimized by diversifying the CDR H3 sequence. To do so, the light chain variable region of the starting antibody is PCR-amplified and then inserted into a yeast strain containing a light chain empty vector using yeast homologous recombination. This becomes the parent light chain yeast strain. The heavy chain of the starting antibody is used as PCR input in combination with germline-specific primers, which generate a PCR product containing frameworks 1 through 3 of the heavy chain. This amplification is performed using the mutagenic nucleotide 8-oxo-dGTP, resulting in additional low-level mutations in the amplified heavy chain region. To generate engineered diversity in the CDR H3 region of the starting antibody, a library of CDR H3 oligos is generated / ordered (i.e., from IDT). The oligo pool is amplified using a primer containing a 5' tail that allows germline-specific recombination with the amplified FW1-FW3 region and an empty plasmid. A universal 3' primer is used for FW4. Alternatively, mutagenic PCR can be performed to incorporate 8-oxo-dGTP into the PCR reaction product using a germline-specific 5' primer, a universal 3' primer, and VH DNA. Once the LC strain, HC FW1-FW3, and diversified CDR H3-FW4 inputs are generated, a three-piece transformation is performed by introducing the two HC components into the LC strain along with the HC empty vector. Cells are then grown under selective pressure to confirm the presence of the HC and LC components.

[0132] Yeast production and purification of antibodies. Yeast clones were grown to saturation and then induced for 48 hours at 30°C with shaking. After induction, yeast cells were pelleted and the supernatant was collected for purification. IgG was purified using a Protein A column and eluted with acetic acid at pH 2.0. Fab fragments were generated by papain digestion and purified with KappaSelect or CaptureSelect IgG-CH1 (GE Healthcare LifeSciences).

[0133] HEK production and purification of antibodies. Mammalian expression of IgG was achieved by subcloning the antibody into a new expression vector, followed by transient transfection and expression in HEK293ADI1. A monoclonal cell line derived from HEK293 (DSMZ) was selected for its aggregation-free growth, growth rate, and transfectability. Briefly, the expression vector containing the antibody of interest was transfected by complexation with a transfection reagent, followed by exposure to HEK cells for 1 hour, followed by dilution of the culture medium to a final density of 4 million cells per mL. The cells were then cultured for 7 days, with fresh feed medium changes every 48 hours. After 7 days, the supernatant was collected after centrifugation and purified using Protein A. Where necessary, CHT column purification was added to achieve >95% monomericity.

[0134] ForteBio KD Measurement (BioLayer Interferometry; BLI). ForteBio affinity measurements were generally performed as previously reported (Estep, P., et al., High throughput solution-based measurement of antibody-antigen affinity and epitope binning. MAbs, 2013.5(2):pp.270-8). Briefly, ForteBio affinity measurements were performed by online loading of IgG onto the AHQ sensor. The sensor was equilibrated offline in assay buffer for 30 minutes and then monitored online for 60 seconds to establish a baseline. The IgG-loaded sensors were exposed to 100 nM antigen for 5 minutes, after which they were transferred to assay buffer for 5 minutes and dissociation rate measurements were performed. A 1:1 binding model was used to analyze the reaction kinetics.

[0135] BiaCore KD measurements (surface plasmon resonance; SPR). Biosensor analysis was performed at 25°C using a Biacore 8K optical biosensor (GE Healthcare, Marlborough, MA) equipped with a CM5 sensor chip in an HBS-EP buffer system (10 mM HEPES pH 7.3, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% Surfactant P20). The sample solution was maintained at 10°C. Goat anti-human IgG capture antibodies (Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories, Inc., West Grove, PA; 109-005-098) were immobilized to both flow cells of the sensor chip using standard amine coupling chemistry (11,700 + / - 400 RU). This type of surface provided a novel format for highly reproducible analytical antigen capture after each replication step. Flow cell 2 was used to analyze the captured antigen (35.7 + / - 0.8 RU). Flow cell 1 was used as the reference flow cell. Fab concentrations ranging from 100 to 0.412 nM (3-fold dilutions) were prepared in running buffer. Each Fab sample concentration was run as a single duplicate. Two blank (buffer) injections were also performed and used to evaluate and subtract system artifacts. The association and dissociation phases of all Fab concentrations were monitored for 180 seconds at a flow rate of 30 μL / min, respectively. The surface was regenerated with 10 mM glycine, pH 1.5, for 30 seconds at a flow rate of 30 μL / min. Data were aligned, double-referenced, and fitted using Biacore 8K Evaluation Software version 1.0.

[0136] Octet Red 384 Epitope Binning / Ligand Blocking. Epitope binning / ligand blocking was performed using a standard sandwich-format cross-blocking assay. A control anti-target IgG was loaded onto the AHQ sensor, and the available Fc binding sites on the sensor were blocked with an irrelevant human IgG1 antibody. The sensor was then exposed to 100 nM of target antigen, followed by a second anti-target antibody or ligand. Data were processed using ForteBio's Data Analysis Software 7.0. Additional binding of the second antibody or ligand after antigen association indicates an available epitope (non-competitor), whereas a lack of binding indicates a blocked epitope (competitor or ligand blocking).

[0137] Size-exclusion chromatography. For rapid SEC analysis of yeast- and mammalian-produced mAbs, a TSKgel SuperSW mAb HTP column (22855) was used at 0.4 mL / min with a cycle time of 6 min / run. 200 mM sodium phosphate and 250 mM sodium chloride were used as the mobile phase.

[0138] Dynamic Scanning Fluorimetry (DSF). 10 μL of 20x Sypo Orange was added to 20 μL of 0.2–1 mg / mL mAb or Fab solution. Using an RT-PCR instrument (BioRad CFX96 RT PCR), the temperature of the sample plate was increased from 40°C to 95°C in 0.5°C increments, with equilibration at each temperature for 2 minutes. Tm was estimated using the negative of the first derivative of the raw data.

[0139] PSR Preparation. The polyspecific reaction reagent (PSR) was prepared as described, for example, in WO2014 / 179363 and Xu et al., Mabs, 2013. Briefly, 2.5 liters of CHO-S cells were used as starting material. In a 500 mL centrifuge bottle filled to 400 mL, the cells were pelleted at 2,400 x g for 5 minutes. The cell pellets were combined and then resuspended in 25 mL of Buffer B and pelleted at 2,400 x g for 3 minutes. The buffer was decanted, and the wash was repeated once more. The cell pellets were resuspended in 3x the pellet volume of Buffer B containing 1x protease inhibitor (Roche, Complete, EDTA-free) using a Polytron homogenizer while keeping the cells on ice. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 2,400 × g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was retained and pelleted once more (2,400 × g / 5 minutes) to ensure removal of unbroken cells, cell debris, and nuclei. The resulting supernatant constituted the total protein preparation. The supernatant was then transferred to two Nalgene Oak Ridge 45 mL centrifuge tubes and pelleted at 40,000 × g for 40 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant containing the separated cytosolic proteins (SCP) was then transferred to a clean Oak Ridge tube and centrifuged once more at 40,000 × g. In parallel, the pellet containing the membrane fraction (EMF) was retained and centrifuged at 40,000 × g for 20 minutes to remove any remaining supernatant. The EMF pellet was then rinsed with Buffer B. 8 mL of Buffer B was then added to the membrane pellet, which was then scraped and transferred to a Dounce homogenizer. After the pellets were homogenized, they were transferred to a 50 mL conical tube to represent the final EMF preparation.

[0140] about 10 6 ~10 7One billion cells / mL of mammalian cells (e.g., CHO, HEK293, Sf9, etc.) were transferred from tissue culture medium into four 250 mL conical tubes and pelleted at 550 x g for 3 minutes. All subsequent steps were performed at 4 °C or on ice using ice-cold buffers. The cells were washed with 100 mL of PBSF (1x PBS + 1 mg / mL BSA) and combined in one conical tube. After removing the supernatant, the cell pellet was resuspended in 30 mL of buffer B (50 mM HEPES, 0.15 M NaCl, 2 mM CaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5 mM HCl). The cells were resuspended in 10% MgCl2, 10% glycerol, pH 7.2, and pelleted at 550 x g for 3 min. The supernatant in Buffer B was decanted, and the cells were resuspended in 3x the pellet volume of Buffer B supplemented with 2.5x protease inhibitors (Roche, cOmplete, EDTA-free). From this point on, protease inhibitors were included in Buffer B. The cells were homogenized (Polyton homogenizer, PT1200E) with four 30-second pulses, and the membrane fraction was pelleted at 40,000 x g for 1 h at 4°C. The pellet was collected in 1 mL of PBS. The pellet was transferred to a Dounce homogenizer with 3 mL of buffer B and resuspended by slowly moving the pestle up and down 30-35 times. The enriched membrane fraction (EMF) was transferred to a new collection tube, and the pestle was rinsed to collect all potential proteins. The protein concentration of the purified EMF was determined using a Dc-protein assay kit (BioRad). To solubilize the EMF, solubilization buffer (50 mM NaCl) was added. The mixture was transferred to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL in a 50 mL Oak Ridge tube (Fisher Scientific, 050529-ID) containing 1% n-dodecyl-bD-maltopyranoside (DDM), 1x protease inhibitors, pH 7.2. The mixture was rotated overnight at 4°C and then centrifuged at 40,000 x g for 1 hour in a 50 mL Oak Ridge tube (Fisher Scientific, 050529-ID). The supernatant, which contains soluble membrane proteins (SMPs), was collected and protein production was quantified as described above.

[0141] For biotinylation, prepare NHS-LC-biotin stock solution according to the manufacturer's protocol (Pierce, Thermo Fisher). Briefly, 20 μl of biotin reagent was added to every 1 mg of EMF sample and incubated at 4°C for 3 hours with gentle agitation. Adjust the volume to 25 mL with Buffer B and transfer to an Oak Ridge centrifuge tube. Precipitate biotinylated EMF (b-EMF) at 40,000 × g for 1 hour and rinse twice with 3 mL of Buffer C (Buffer B minus glycerol) without disturbing the pellet. Remove residual solution. Resuspend the pellet in 3 mL of Buffer C using a Dounce homogenizer as described above. The resuspended pellet is now biotinylated EMF (b-EMF). It was solubilized as described above for preparing b-SMP.

[0142] PSR binding analysis. Assays were generally performed as described, for example, in Xu et al. To characterize the PSR profile of monoclonal antibodies displayed on yeast, 2 million IgG-displaying yeast cells were transferred to a 96-well assay plate, pelleted at 3000 x g for 3 minutes, and the supernatant was removed. The pellet was resuspended in 50 μl of a 1:10 dilution of freshly prepared stock b-PSR and incubated on ice for 20 minutes. The cells were washed twice with 200 μl of ice-cold PBSF and resuspended in 50 μl of secondary labeling mix (Extravidin-R-PE, anti-human LC-FITC, and propidium iodide). This mix was incubated on ice for 20 minutes, followed by two washes with 200 μl of ice-cold PBSF. The cells were resuspended in 100 μl of ice-cold PBSF and plated on a FACSCanto (BD Biosciences) using an HTS sample injector. Flow cytometry data were analyzed for mean fluorescence intensity in the R-PE channel and normalized to appropriate controls for assessment of nonspecific binding. Many methods for displaying or presenting antibodies or antibody fragments on yeast surfaces have been previously reported, all of which are compatible with this protocol (Blaise et al., 2004, Boder and Wittrup, 1997, Kuroda and Ueda, 2011, Orcutt and Wittrup, 2010, Rakestraw et al., 2011, Sazinsky et al., 2008, Tasumi et al., 2009, Vasquez et al., 2009).

[0143] ForteBio Kinetics. A ForteBio Octet HTX instrument was used in 12-channel mode (8 sensors per channel, 96 sensors per experiment) with either AHC, SA, or AHQ sensors. The instrument was operated with manufacturer-supplied software (versions 8.2 and 9.0). Sample names and concentrations were entered on the plate data page, and protein bound to the sensor was identified in the "Information" column on the sensor data page. Kinetic experiments were collected with either a 90- or 180-second baseline, a 180-second association phase, and a 180-second dissociation phase. Binning experiments were collected in five steps: a 90-second baseline 1, a 90-second sensor binding check with the secondary binder, a 90-second baseline 2, 180 seconds of binding, and a 180-second dissociation in wells containing the secondary mAb. All files were saved to a shared network drive using a naming convention that identifies the experiment type.

[0144] HIC. The IgG1 sample was buffer exchanged into 1 M ammonium sulfate and 0.1 M sodium phosphate at pH 6.5 using a Zeba 40 kDa 0.5 mL spin column (Thermo Pierce, catalog number 87766). A salt gradient was established on a Dionex ProPac HIC-10 column from 1.8 M ammonium sulfate and 0.1 M sodium phosphate at pH 6.5 to the same conditions without ammonium sulfate. The gradient was run for 17 min at a flow rate of 0.75 ml / min. An acetonitrile wash step was added at the end of the run to remove any remaining protein, and the column was re-equilibrated for over 7 column volumes before the next injection cycle. Peak retention times were monitored by absorbance at A280, and the ammonium sulfate concentration at elution was calculated based on the gradient and flow rate.

[0145] LCMS. The mAb sample was reduced with DTT and then subjected to mid-down LCMS analysis on a Bruker maXis 4G mass spectrometer coupled to an Agilent 1100 HPLC (Agilent). A POROS R2 10 μm (2.1 x 30 mm) reversed-phase column was used to remove salts from the sample. A fast LC flow of 2 mL / min allowed for separation of the sample and salt, allowing sample elution and column regeneration to be completed within a 2.1-minute cycle. A T-junction was used to deliver a sample flow of only 0.15 mL / min to the mass spectrometer for sample analysis. The Bruker maXis 4G mass spectrometer was operated in positive ion mode with detection in the 750–2500 m / z range. The remaining source parameters were set as follows: the capillary was set at 5500 V, the nebulizer at 4.0 bar, the drying gas at 4.0 L / min, and the drying temperature at 200 °C.

[0146] MS spectra were analyzed using Bruker Data Analysis version 4.1, and deconvolution was performed using maximum entropy deconvolution in the mass range of 20–30 kDa.

The concise sequence listing provides the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region (HC), with each of the heavy chain variable region CDRs underlined. The amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region (LC) is also provided, with each of the light chain variable region CDRs underlined.
