The contents of each of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0002] Sequence listing by reference The contents of the text file named "MRSN-033_001WO_SeqList.txt", created on March 31, 2021, with a size of 49KB, are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein. [Background technology]

[0003] background Interferon gene stimulators (STINGs) are intraendoplasmic reticulum receptors that transmit innate immune detection of cytosolic pathogen-derived DNA and autologous DNA. STINGs are 378-amino acid proteins primarily containing three structural domains: (i) an N-terminal transmembrane domain (aa1-154); (ii) a central globular domain (aa155-341); and (iii) a C-terminal tail (aa342-379). STINGs can form symmetric dimers in a V-conformation when bound to their ligands, but they do not completely encapsulate the bound ligand. STING agonists can enter and bind to the pocket region of STINGs. However, in some severe disease conditions, the STING activation process is readily inhibited, resulting in inactivation of the STING pathway. Therefore, screening and design of potent STING agonists are crucial for cancer immunotherapy and other infectious disease treatments, including but not limited to obesity, liver injury, glucose-lipid metabolism, and viral infections. Specific targeting of immune pathways offers opportunities for cancer therapy, potentially providing greater specificity than cell population-based therapeutic approaches.

[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) consist of a drug, such as a small molecule, covalently bound to an antibody. The antibody is a targeting mechanism aligned to a specific site of action. Upon reaching this site, the ADC releases the small molecule drug, allowing it to perform its intended function precisely, in contrast to systemic diffusion throughout the target body. This targeted approach makes it possible to treat patients with drugs that would require doses high enough to be toxic if administered systemically without a targeted approach.

[0005] An important feature of the innate immune system is to recognize and eliminate foreign substances. The identification of these pathogenic invaders is done by the host recognizing evolutionarily conserved microbial structures known as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Host recognition can ultimately lead to downstream signaling events and may be carried out by multiple pathways such as activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that initiate an immune response.

[0006] The antibody-drug conjugates of the present disclosure modulate STING activity and thus may be beneficial in the treatment of diseases, disorders, and / or conditions including, but not limited to, inflammation, allergic diseases and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cancer, and pre-cancerous syndromes where modulation of STING (stimulator of interferon genes) is beneficial, as well as providing a therapeutically beneficial effect as a vaccine adjuvant. There is still a need for new immunotherapies for treating diseases, particularly cancer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0019] Detailed explanation This disclosure provides novel antibody-drug conjugates, methods for synthesizing conjugates or scaffolds, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and various uses of the conjugates.

[0020] definition The chemical names given to the intermediates and / or compounds of this disclosure described herein may refer to any one of the tautomeristic notations of such compounds (in some cases, such aliases are given to experimental compounds). Any reference to named compounds (intermediates or compounds of this disclosure) or compounds whose structures are illustrated (intermediates or compounds of this disclosure) should be understood to be intended to encompass all tautomeristic forms, including the zwitterionic form of such compounds and any mixture thereof.

[0021] The terms “in certain embodiments,” “in certain embodiments of the present disclosure,” and “in certain embodiments of the compounds of the present disclosure” should be understood to be synonymous as appropriate.

[0022] When the terms “about,” “approximately,” or “approximate” are used in relation to a number, they mean that a set or range of numbers is included. In some embodiments, “about X” includes a range of values ​​of ±25%, ±20%, ±15%, ±10%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1%, ±0.5%, ±0.2%, or ±0.1% of the number X. In some embodiments, the term “about” refers to a range of values ​​that are 5% more or 5% less than a given value. In some embodiments, the term “about” refers to a range of values ​​that are 2% more or 2% less than a given value. In some embodiments, the term “about” refers to a range of values ​​that are 1% more or 1% less than a given value.

[0023] The enumeration of value ranges is intended to serve as a shorthand way of referring to each distinct value within that range, unless otherwise specified herein. Each distinct value is incorporated herein as being enumerated one by one. As used herein, ranges include two limits unless otherwise specified. In some embodiments, the expressions “x being an integer between 1 and 6” and “x being an integer of 1 to 6” both mean “x is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.” That is, the terms “between X and Y” and “range from X to Y” include X and Y and the integers in between.

[0024] As used herein, the term "antibody" is used in its 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 antibody fragments, as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. The numbering of antibody amino acids follows the Kabat EU Index (see Kabat, EA, et al., Sequences of Protein of immunological interest, Fifth Edition, US Department of Health and Human Services, US Government Printing Office (1991)).

[0025] The term "antibody fragment" refers to a molecule other than the intact antibody that contains a portion of an intact antibody and binds to the antigen to which the intact antibody binds. Examples of 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); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.

[0026] As used herein, the terms "reference antibody" and "antibody that binds to the same epitope" refer to an antibody that blocks 50% or more of the binding of the reference antibody to its antigen in a competitive assay. Conversely, the reference antibody blocks 50% or more of the binding of the "antibody that binds to the same epitope" as the reference antibody to its antigen in a competitive assay. An exemplary competitive assay is provided herein.

[0027] The term "class" of an antibody refers to the type of constant domain or constant region present in the antibody heavy chain. There are five main classes of antibodies: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, some of which can be further divided into subclasses (isotypes), such as IgGi, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAi, and IgA2. The heavy chain constant domains corresponding to different classes of immunoglobulins are called α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively.

[0028] As used herein, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies. That is, for example, the individual antibodies constituting the population are identical and / or bind to the same epitope, except for possible variants, such as those containing native mutations or arising during the preparation of the monoclonal antibody preparation. Such variants are generally present in trace amounts. Typically, in contrast to polyclonal antibody preparations, which contain different antibodies directed against different determinants (e.g., epitopes), each monoclonal antibody in a monoclonal antibody preparation is directed against a single determinant on an antigen. Therefore, the modifier “monoclonal” should not be interpreted as indicating that the antibody is obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and that it requires the production of the antibody by a specific method. For example, monoclonal antibodies used in accordance with the present invention can be produced by a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to, hybridoma methods, recombinant DNA methods, phage display methods, and methods utilizing transgenic animals containing all or part of a human immunoglobulin locus. Such methods and other exemplary methods for producing monoclonal antibodies are described herein.

[0029] The term "epitope" refers to a specific site on an antigen molecule to which an antibody binds.

[0030] The term “protein-based recognition molecule” or “PBRM” refers to a molecule that recognizes and binds to cell surface markers or receptors, such as transmembrane proteins, surface-immobilized proteins, or proteoglycans. In some embodiments, PBRMs include engineered cysteine. Examples of PBRMs include, but are not limited to, antibodies, peptides, lipocalins, proteins, peptides, or peptide mimics. In addition to targeting conjugates to specific cells, tissues, or locations, protein-based recognition molecules may also have certain therapeutic effects, such as antiproliferative (cell division arrest and / or cytotoxic) activity against target cells or target pathways. Protein-based recognition molecules may include, or be engineered to include, at least one chemically reactive group, such as -COOH, primary amines, secondary amines -NHR, -SH, or a chemically reactive amino acid moiety or side chain, such as tyrosine, histidine, cysteine, or lysine. In some embodiments, the PBRM may be a ligand (LG) or targeting moiety that specifically binds to or complexes with a cell surface molecule of a given target cell population, such as a cell surface receptor or antigen. After the ligand specifically binds to or complexes with its receptor, the cell allows uptake of the ligand or ligand-drug conjugate, which is then internally transferred into the cell. Ligands used herein that "specifically bind to or complexe" or "target" cell surface molecules preferentially associate with cell surface molecules via intermolecular forces. In some embodiments, ligands can preferentially associate with cell surface molecules at Kd values ​​less than about 50 nM, less than about 5 nM, or less than 500 pM. Techniques for measuring the binding affinity of a ligand to a cell surface molecule are well known. For example, one suitable technique is called surface plasmon resonance (SPR). In some embodiments, the ligand is used for targeting and does not have a detectable therapeutic effect when separated from the drug that the ligand delivers.In some embodiments, the ligand functions as a targeting portion, either as a therapeutic agent or an immunomodulatory agent (for example, to enhance the activity of an active drug or prodrug). The term “PEG unit” as used herein refers to a formula. This refers to a polyethylene glycol subunit having TIFF0007871194000046.tif10128.

[0204] Hydrophilic group (variable T 1 ) In some embodiments, the hydrophilic groups contained in the conjugates or scaffolds of the Disclosure are water-soluble and substantially non-antigenic polymers. Examples of hydrophilic groups include, but are not limited to, polyhydric alcohols, polyethers, polyanions, polycations, polyphosphates, polyamines, polysaccharides, polyhydroxy compounds, polylysine, and their derivatives. In some embodiments, one end of the hydrophilic group is connected by an inseparable linkage or via a cleavable linkage, M A Linker (for example, MA The hydrophilic group can be functionalized so that it can be covalently attached to an amino acid in the linker. In some embodiments, the functionalization may be via, for example, an amine, thiol, NHS ester, maleimide, alkyne, azide, carbonyl, or other functional group. In some embodiments, the other end (or more ends) of the hydrophilic group is free and unattached. In some embodiments, "unattached" means that the hydrophilic group is not attached to another part, such as D or a drug unit, or other components of the conjugate or scaffold of this disclosure. In some embodiments, the free and unattached end of the hydrophilic group may contain a methoxy, carboxylic acid, alcohol, or other suitable functional group. In some embodiments, the methoxy, carboxylic acid, alcohol, or other suitable functional group acts as a cap for one or more ends of the hydrophilic group.

[0205] In some embodiments, a cleavable linkage refers to a linkage that is substantially unsensitive to cleavage while circulating in plasma but sensitive to cleavage in the intracellular or intratumoral environment. In some embodiments, an uncleavable linkage is a linkage that is substantially unsensitive to cleavage in any biological environment. In some embodiments, chemical hydrolysis of hydrazones, reduction of disulfides, and enzymatic cleavage of peptide or glycosidic bonds are examples of cleavable linkages. In some embodiments, exemplary attachment of hydrophilic groups is via amide linkages, ether linkages, ester linkages, hydrazone linkages, oxime linkages, disulfide linkages, peptide linkages, or triazole linkages. In some embodiments, M A Linker (for example, M A The attachment of hydrophilic groups to amino acids within the linker occurs via amide linkages.

[0206] In some embodiments, the conjugate or scaffold of the Disclosure comprises multiple hydrophilic groups, which may be the same chemical moiety or different chemical moieties (e.g., hydrophilic groups with different molecular weights, number of subunits, or chemical structures). In some embodiments, the multiple hydrophilic groups are located at only one attachment site. A It can be attached to the linker, and M is located in a different part. A It may be attached to the linker.

[0207] In some embodiments, the addition of a hydrophilic group may have two potential effects on the resulting conjugate pharmacokinetics. In some embodiments, the desirable effect is a decrease in clearance (and the resulting increase in exposure) due to reduced nonspecific interactions induced by the exposed hydrophobic elements of the drug or drug-linker. In some embodiments, the undesirable effect is a decrease in the volume and velocity of distribution, which may result from an increase in the molecular weight of the conjugate. In some embodiments, increasing the molecular weight of the hydrophilic group may increase the hydrodynamic radius of the conjugate, resulting in a decrease in diffusivity, thereby reducing the conjugate's ability to penetrate the tumor. Because of these two competing pharmacokinetic effects, it may be desirable to use a hydrophilic group that is large enough to reduce conjugate clearance and thus increase plasma exposure, but not large enough to significantly reduce its diffusivity and thus not large enough to reduce the conjugate's ability to reach the intended target cell population.

[0208] In some embodiments, the hydrophilic group includes, but is not limited to, sugar alcohols (polyalcohols, polyhydric alcohols, alditols or glycitols, e.g., inositol, glycerol, erythritol, treitol, arabitol, xylitol, ribitol, galactitol, mannitol, sorbitol, etc.) or their derivatives (e.g., aminopolyhydric alcohols), carbohydrates (e.g., sugars), polyvinyl alcohol, carbohydrate-based polymers (e.g., dextran), hydroxypropyl methacrylamide (HPMA), polyalkylene oxides, and / or copolymers thereof.

[0234] In some aspects, T 1 This includes polyethers, such as polyalkylene glycols (PAOs). PAOs include, but are not limited to, polymers of lower alkylene oxides, particularly polymers of ethylene oxides, such as propylene oxide, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyoxyethylene-conjugated polyols, their copolymers, and their block copolymers.

[0235] In some embodiments, polyalkylene glycol is polyethylene glycol (PEG) including, but not limited to, polydisperse PEG, monodisperse PEG, and discrete PEG. Polydisperse PEG is a heterogeneous mixture of size and molecular weight, while monodisperse PEG is typically purified from a heterogeneous mixture and therefore exhibits a single chain length and molecular weight. In some embodiments, the PEG unit is discrete PEG representing a single molecule with a defined and specified chain length. In some embodiments, polyethylene glycol is mPEG.

[0236] In some aspects, T 1The PEG unit comprises one or more PEG chains. The PEG chains may be linked together in a linear, branched, or star-shaped configuration, for example.

Non-PEG material refers to atoms in the PEG chain that are not part of the repeating -CH2CH2O- subunit. In some embodiments, the PEG chain may comprise two monomeric PEG chains linked to each other via non-PEG elements.

The reactive group is a group to which the activated PEG molecule can be bound (e.g., a free amino group or a carboxyl group). In some embodiments, the N-terminal amino acid and lysine (K) have a free amino group, and the C-terminal amino acid residue has a free carboxyl group. Sulfhydryl groups (e.g., found on cysteine ​​residues) may also be used as reactive groups for attaching PEG.

[0238] In some embodiments, the PEG unit is made possible by using methoxylated PEG ("mPEG") having different reactive moieties, including but not limited to succinimidyl succinate (SS), succinimidyl carbonate (SC), mPEG-imidate, para-nitrophenyl carbonate (NPC), succinimidyl propionate (SPA), and cyanuryl chloride.

[0286] Protein-based recognition molecules (PBRMs) In some embodiments, protein-based recognition molecules direct conjugates to specific tissues, cells, or intracellular locations. In some embodiments, protein-based recognition molecules can direct conjugates in culture, throughout the organism, or both. In each case, the protein-based recognition molecule may have ligands present on the cell surface of target cells to which the protein-based recognition molecule binds with effective specificity, affinity, and avidity. In some embodiments, protein-based recognition molecules target conjugates to tissues other than the liver. In some embodiments, protein-based recognition molecules target conjugates to specific tissues such as the liver, kidney, lung, or pancreas. Protein-based recognition molecules can target conjugates to target cells, such as cancer cells, receptors expressed on such cells, matrix tissues, or cancer-associated proteins, such as tumor antigens. Alternatively, cells containing tumor vascular structures may be targeted. Protein-based recognition molecules can direct conjugates to specific types of cells, such as specific targeting to hepatocytes within the liver, as opposed to Kupffer cells. In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule can direct the conjugate to cells of the reticuloendothelial system or lymphoid system, or to professional phagocytic cells such as macrophages or eosinophils. In some embodiments, the conjugate itself may be an effective delivery system that does not require specific targeting.

[0287] In some embodiments, protein-based recognition molecules can target conjugates to intracellular locations such as the nucleus, cytoplasm, or endosomes. In some embodiments, protein-based recognition molecules can enhance cell binding to receptors, cytoplasmic transport to and nuclear translocation, or release from endosomes or other intracellular vesicles.

[0288] In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule is an antibody, antibody fragment, protein, peptide, or peptide mimic.

[0289] In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule is an antibody. In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule is an antibody fragment. In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule is a protein. In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule is a peptide. In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule is a peptide mimic.

[0290] In some embodiments, the antibody or antibody fragment is an antibody or antibody fragment in which one or more amino acids of the corresponding parent antibody or antibody fragment (e.g., the corresponding wild-type antibody or antibody fragment) are substituted with cysteine ​​(e.g., engineered cysteine). In some embodiments, the parent antibody or antibody fragment may be wild-type or mutated.

[0291] In some embodiments, the antibody or antibody fragment may be a mutated antibody or antibody fragment. In some embodiments, a monoclonal antibody known in the art is manipulated to form an antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody fragment known in the art (e.g., a Fab antibody fragment) is manipulated to form an antibody fragment (e.g., a cysteine-manipulated Fab antibody fragment). In some embodiments, a one-site mutation in Fab results in one residue in Fab, whereas because IgG antibodies are dimeric, a one-site mutation in an antibody results in two amino acids in the resulting antibody.

[0292] In some embodiments, the antibody or antibody fragment retains the antigen-binding ability of its corresponding wild-type antibody or antibody fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody or antibody fragment can bind to one or more antigens of its corresponding wild-type antibody or antibody fragment.

In some embodiments, NaPi2b antibodies used in the conjugates disclosed herein can and can modulate at least one biological activity of NaPi2b, for example, by blocking, inhibiting, reducing, antagonistizing, neutralizing, or otherwise interfering, and are useful in modulating, for example, by blocking, inhibiting, reducing, antagonistizing, neutralizing, or otherwise interfering. In some embodiments, the antibodies disclosed herein also include antibodies that bind to soluble NaPi2b. In some embodiments, NaPi2b antibodies specifically bind to an epitope on the extracellular domain (ECD) of human NaPi2b. These antibodies are collectively referred to herein as “NaPi2b” antibodies.

[0305] In some embodiments, the NaPi2b antibody-drug conjugate provided herein has an equilibrium dissociation constant (K) of ≤1 μM (e.g., ≤100 nM; ≤10 nM; ≤1 nM) to the NaPi2b epitope. d or K D The antibody conjugate contains an antibody that binds via ) . In some embodiments, the NaPi2b antibody used in the antibody-drug conjugate disclosed herein has a K in the range of approximately ≤1 nM to approximately 1 pM d This indicates.

[0306] In some embodiments, the NaPi2b antibody-drug conjugates provided herein may include an antibody that acts to modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with the functional activity of NaPi2b. In some embodiments, the functional activity of NaPi2b includes, for example, involvement in transcellular inorganic phosphate (Pi) uptake, thereby contributing to the maintenance of phosphate homeostasis in the body. In some embodiments, the NaPi2b antibody completely or partially inhibits the functional activity of NaPi2b by partially or completely modulating, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfering with transcellular inorganic phosphate uptake.

[0307] In some embodiments, a NaPi2b antibody is considered to completely modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with NaPi2b functional activity when the level of NaPi2b functional activity in the presence of the NaPi2b antibody is reduced by at least 95%, for example, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%, compared to the level of NaPi2b functional activity in the absence of binding to the NaPi2b antibody described herein. In some embodiments, a NaPi2b antibody is considered to partially modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with NaPi2b functional activity when the level of NaPi2b activity in the presence of a NaPi2b antibody is reduced by less than 95%, for example, 10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 85%, or 90%, compared to the level of NaPi2b activity in the absence of binding to the NaPi2b antibody described herein.

[0308] In some embodiments, the exemplary antibodies disclosed herein include the XMT-1535 antibody. These antibodies have been shown to exhibit specificity for human NaPi2b and to inhibit NaPi2b activity.

[0311] The antibodies disclosed herein specifically bind to epitopes located on the extracellular domain (ECD) of human NaPi2b.

[0312] In some embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that, without excessive experimentation, it is possible to determine whether a monoclonal antibody has the same specificity as the monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein (e.g., XMT-1535, 10H1.11.4B) by examining whether the former prevents the latter from binding to a natural binding partner or other molecules known to bind to NaPi2b. If the monoclonal antibody being tested competes with the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein, as indicated by the reduced binding by the monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein, the two monoclonal antibodies will bind to the same or closely related epitopes.

[0313] An alternative method for determining whether a monoclonal antibody has the specificity of the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein is to pre-incubate the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein with soluble NaPi2b (which typically reacts with the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein), and then add the monoclonal antibody under test to determine whether the monoclonal antibody under test is inhibited in terms of its ability to bind to NaPi2b. If the monoclonal antibody under test is inhibited, it likely has the same or functionally equivalent epitope specificity as the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein.

[0314] Screening of monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein can also be performed, for example, by measuring NaPi2b-mediated activity to determine whether the test monoclonal antibody can modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with NaPi2b activity.

[0322] In some embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that, without excessive experimentation, it is possible to determine whether a monoclonal antibody has the same specificity as the monoclonal antibody XMT-1535 by examining whether the former prevents the latter from binding to a natural binding partner or other molecule known to bind to NaPi2b. If the monoclonal antibody being tested competes with the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein, as indicated by the reduced binding by the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein, the two monoclonal antibodies will bind to the same or closely related epitopes.

[0323] In some embodiments, an alternative method for determining whether a monoclonal antibody has the specificity of the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein is to pre-incubate the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein with soluble NaPi2b (which typically reacts with the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein), and then add the monoclonal antibody under test to determine whether the monoclonal antibody under test is inhibited in terms of its ability to bind to NaPi2b. In some embodiments, if the monoclonal antibody under test is inhibited, it has the same or functionally equivalent epitope specificity as the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein.

[0324] Screening of monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein can also be carried out, for example, by measuring NaPi2b-mediated activity and determining whether the test monoclonal antibody can modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with NaPi2b activity.

In some embodiments, the disclosure provides monoclonal antibodies that bind to HER2 and are humanized or fully human. For example, the HER2 antibodies provided herein have a K in the range of about ≤1 nM to about 1 pM. d This indicates.

[0328] In some embodiments, the HER2 antibodies disclosed herein act to modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with HER2 functional activity. In some embodiments, HER2 functional activity includes, for example, the modification of PI3K-Akt pathway activity. In some embodiments, HER2 antibodies completely or partially inhibit HER2 functional activity by partially or completely modulating, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfering with PI3K-Akt pathway activity. PI3K-Akt pathway activity is evaluated using any method accepted in the art for detecting PI3K-Akt pathway activity, including, but not limited to, detecting the level of phosphorylated Akt in the presence and absence of the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments disclosed herein.

[0329] In some embodiments, the HER2 antibody is considered to completely modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with HER2 functional activity when the level of HER2 functional activity in the presence of the HER2 antibody is reduced by at least 80%, for example, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%, compared to the level of HER2 functional activity in the absence of binding to the HER2 antibody described herein. In some embodiments, a HER2 antibody is considered to partially modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonistize, neutralize, or otherwise interfere with HER2 functional activity when the level of HER2 activity in the presence of a HER2 antibody is reduced by less than 95%, for example, 10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 85%, or 90%, compared to the level of HER2 activity in the absence of binding to the HER2 antibody described herein.

[0399] Pharmaceutical composition In some aspects, this disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a conjugate described herein and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients.

[0400] Pharmaceutical compositions containing the conjugates of this disclosure may be prepared in commonly known ways, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolution, granulation, sugar preparation, wet grinding, emulsification, encapsulation, encapsulation, or lyophilization processes. The pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in conventional ways using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, including excipients and / or adjuvants, to facilitate processing the conjugates into pharmaceutically usable preparations. Of course, the appropriate formulation will depend on the chosen route of administration.

[0401] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injection include sterile aqueous solutions (if water-soluble) or dispersions, and sterile powders for the immediate preparation of sterile injection solutions or dispersions. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL® (BASF, Parsippany, NJ), or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and fluid enough to allow for simple syringeability. The composition must be stable under manufacturing and storage conditions and protected from contamination by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier may be, for example, a solvent or dispersion medium containing water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol), or a suitable mixture thereof. Appropriate fluidity can be maintained, for example, by using a coating such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by using a surfactant. The action of microorganisms can be prevented by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, and thimerosal. In many cases, it is preferable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, polyhydric alcohols, such as mannitol and sorbitol, and sodium chloride in the composition. Long-term absorption of the injectable composition can be achieved by including absorption-delaying agents, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin, in the composition.

[0402] Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by filtration sterilization after incorporating the required amount of conjugate, along with one or a combination of the components listed above as needed, into a suitable solvent. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the conjugate into a sterile vehicle containing a basic dispersion medium and other required components from those listed above. In the case of sterile powders for preparing sterile injectable solutions, the preparation method is vacuum drying and freeze-drying, which yield a powder of the active ingredient and any further desired components from a pre-filtered sterile solution.

[0403] Oral compositions generally contain an inert diluent or a pharmaceutically acceptable food-grade carrier. Oral compositions may be encapsulated in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For oral therapeutic administration, conjugates may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, lozenges, or capsules. Oral compositions may also be prepared using a fluid carrier for use as an oral rinse, in which the conjugate dissolved in the fluid carrier is applied orally, moved quickly, and either spat out or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binders and / or adjuvant materials may be included as part of the composition. Tablets, pills, capsules, lozenges, etc., may contain the following ingredients: binders, e.g., crystalline cellulose, tragacanth gum, or gelatin; excipients, e.g., starch or lactose; disintegrants, e.g., alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; lubricants, e.g., magnesium stearate or Sterotes; fluidizers, e.g., colloidal silicon dioxide; sweeteners, e.g., sucrose or saccharin; or flavorings, e.g., peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring, or compounds of similar properties.

[0404] When administered by inhalation, the conjugate is delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from a suitable nebulizer, such as a pressurized container or dispenser containing a gas like carbon dioxide, or from a nebulizer.

[0405] Systemic administration may also be performed via mucosal or transdermal means. In the case of mucosal or transdermal administration, a permeabilizing agent suitable for the barrier to be penetrated is used in the formulation. Such permeabilizing agents are generally known in the art and, for example, in the case of mucosal administration, include surfactants, bile salts, and fusidic acid derivatives. Mucosal administration can be achieved using nasal drops or suppositories. In the case of transdermal administration, the conjugate is formulated into an ointment, plaster, gel, or cream, which are generally known in the art.

[0406] The conjugate can be prepared using a sustained-release formulation comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as a graft and a microencapsulation delivery system, to protect the conjugate from rapid elimination from the body. Biodegradable biocompatible polymers such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyacid anhydride, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid can be used. Methods for preparing such formulations are obvious to those skilled in the art.

[0407] Formulating oral or parenteral compositions into unit dosage forms can be particularly advantageous for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. As used herein, a unit dosage form refers to a physically distinct unit suitable for administration alone to the target of treatment. Each unit, containing a predetermined amount of conjugate, can be calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect in conjunction with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specifications of the unit dosage forms in this disclosure are determined and directly depend on the unique characteristics of the conjugate and the specific therapeutic effect to be achieved.

[0408] In therapeutic applications, the dosage of a pharmaceutical composition used in accordance with this disclosure will vary depending on factors influencing the selected dosage, including the drug, the age, weight, and clinical condition of the recipient patient, as well as the experience and judgment of the clinician or practitioner administering the therapy. Generally, the dose should be sufficient to slow, preferably regress, the symptoms of the disease, and preferably also sufficient to cause complete regression of the disease.

[0409] It is understood that pharmaceutical compositions may be placed in containers, packs, or dispensers along with instructions for administration.

[0461] Accordingly, in some embodiments, a method is provided for treating a person in need of treatment, comprising the step of administering the conjugate or a salt thereof of the present disclosure and at least one immunostimulant. In some embodiments, the immunostimulant is a TLR4 agonist. In some embodiments, the immunostimulant is an AGP. In some embodiments, the person has cancer. The use of the conjugate or a salt thereof of the present disclosure in combination with at least one immunostimulant for treating a person in need of treatment is also provided herein.

[0462] In addition to the immunostimulants described above, the compositions of this disclosure may further include other therapeutic agents that, due to their adjuvant properties, can stimulate the immune system to respond to cancer antigens present on inactivated tumor cells. Such adjuvants include, but are not limited to, lipids, liposomes, inactivated bacteria that induce innate immunity (e.g., inactivated or attenuated Listeria monocytogenes), (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs), retinoic acid-inducible gene-based (RIG)-I-like receptors (RLRs), and / or compositions that mediate innate immune activation via C-type lectin receptors (CLRs).

[0463] Because TLR agonists possess adjuvant properties, they may be used in combination with other vaccines, adjuvants, and / or immune modulators, and may be combined in a variety of combinations. In some embodiments, the conjugates of this disclosure bind to STING and induce STING-dependent TBKI activation. For therapeutic purposes, inactivated tumor cells expressing and secreting one or more cytokines that stimulate DC induction, recruitment, and / or maturation as described herein may be administered together with one or more TLR agonists.

[0464] Further active ingredients (antineoplastic agents) for use in combination with or concurrently administered with the conjugates of the present disclosure are IDO inhibitors.

[0465] In some embodiments, the conjugates of the Disclosure may be used in combination with at least one other therapeutic agent useful in the prevention or treatment of infections, bacterial infections, viral infections, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infections, TB infections, Chlamydia species, Plasmodium infections, Staphylococcus infections, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and related lupus disorders, psoriasis, or Sjögren's syndrome.

[0466] The conjugates of this disclosure may be administered by any suitable route of administration, including both systemic and topical administration. Systemic administration includes oral, parenteral, transdermal, rectal, and inhalation administration. Parenteral administration refers to routes of administration other than enteral, transdermal, or inhalation administration, and is typically administered by injection or infusion. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection or infusion. Inhalation refers to administration to the patient's lungs, whether inhaled through the mouth or through the nasal cavity. Topical administration includes application to the skin.

[0467] In addition to the above-mentioned routes of administration suitable for oncological treatment, the pharmaceutical composition may be adapted for administration by intratumoral or peritumoral injection. Intratumoral or peritumoral injection of the conjugate of the Disclosure directly or adjacent to a solid tumor is expected to induce an immune response capable of attacking and destroying cancer cells throughout the body, significantly reducing, and in some cases permanently eliminating, the tumor from the diseased subject. This activation of the immune system to kill tumors in distant sites is commonly known as the abscopal effect and has been demonstrated in animals with several therapeutic modalities. A further advantage of local, intratumoral, or peritumoral administration is that comparable efficacy can be achieved at considerably lower doses, thus minimizing or eliminating adverse events that may be observed at considerably higher systemic doses.

[0468] The conjugates of this disclosure may be administered as a single dose or according to a dosage regimen, in which case multiple doses may be administered at various intervals over a predetermined period. For example, doses may be administered once, twice, three times, or four times daily. Dose administration may continue indefinitely until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved or to maintain the desired therapeutic effect. A suitable dosage regimen for the conjugates of this disclosure will depend on the pharmacokinetic properties of the conjugate, e.g., absorption, distribution, and half-life, which can be determined by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, a suitable dosage regimen for the conjugates of this disclosure, including the duration for which such a regimen is administered, will depend on the disease or disorder being treated, the severity of the disease or disorder being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the patient's medical history, the nature of the concomitant therapy, the desired therapeutic effect, and similar factors within the scope of the knowledge and expertise of those skilled in the art. It will be further understood by those skilled in the art that an appropriate dosage regimen may need to be adjusted over time, taking into account the individual patient's response to the dosage regimen or as individual patients require changes. The total daily dose is 1 mg to 2000 mg, preferably 1 mg to 250 mg.

[0469] For use in therapy, the conjugates of this disclosure are typically formulated into a pharmaceutical composition before being administered to a patient, but are not necessarily formulated into a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, this disclosure also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the conjugates of this disclosure and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0470] The pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may be prepared and packaged in bulk form or in unit dosage forms. For oral use, for example, one or more tablets or capsules may be administered. The dose of the pharmaceutical composition contains at least a therapeutically effective amount of the conjugate of this disclosure (i.e., the conjugate of this disclosure or a salt thereof, in particular a pharmaceutically acceptable salt). When prepared in unit dosage forms, the pharmaceutical composition may contain 1 mg to 1000 mg of the conjugate of this disclosure.

[0471] When provided herein, a unit dosage form (pharmaceutical composition) containing 1 mg to 1000 mg of the conjugate of this disclosure may be administered once, twice, three, or four times daily, preferably once, twice, or three times daily, more preferably once or twice daily, to treat a disease or disorder mediated by STING.

[0472] The pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure typically contain one type of conjugate of this disclosure. However, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure contain multiple types of conjugates of this disclosure. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may optionally further contain one or more additional therapeutic agents (e.g., pharmaceutically active conjugates).

[0473] As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipients” means pharmaceutically acceptable materials, compositions, or vehicles that contribute to giving form or consistency to a pharmaceutical composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other components of the pharmaceutical composition when mixed so as to avoid interactions that would significantly reduce the potency of the conjugates of this disclosure when administered to a patient, and interactions that would result in a pharmaceutically unacceptable pharmaceutical composition. Furthermore, each excipient must, of course, be of sufficiently high purity to be pharmaceutically acceptable.

[0474] The conjugates and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients of this disclosure are typically formulated into dosage forms tailored to administration to a patient via a preferred route of administration. Conventional dosage forms include: (1) dosage forms tailored for oral administration, e.g., tablets, capsules, caplets, pills, lozenges, powders, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, solutions, emulsions, sachets, and cachets; (2) dosage forms tailored for parenteral administration, e.g., sterile solutions, suspensions, and powders for reconstitution; (3) dosage forms tailored for transdermal administration, e.g., transdermal patches; (4) dosage forms tailored for rectal administration, e.g., suppositories; (5) dosage forms tailored for inhalation, e.g., aerosols and solutions; and (6) dosage forms tailored for topical administration, e.g., creams, ointments, lotions, solutions, pastes, sprays, foams, and gels.

[0475] Appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable excipients vary depending on the specific dosage form selected. Furthermore, appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be selected for specific functions that may be useful in the composition. For example, a particular pharmaceutically acceptable excipient may be selected for its ability to facilitate the production of a uniform dosage form. A particular pharmaceutically acceptable excipient may be selected for its ability to facilitate the production of a stable dosage form. A particular pharmaceutically acceptable excipient may be selected for its ability to facilitate the transport or delivery of the conjugate of this disclosure to a patient, once administered from one organ or part of the body to another organ or part of the body. A particular pharmaceutically acceptable excipient may be selected for its ability to enhance patient adherence to medication.

[0476] Appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include the following types of excipients: diluents, bulking agents, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, fluidizers, granulators, coating agents, wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, flavoring agents, flavor masking agents, colorants, anti-caking agents, wetting agents, chelating agents, plasticizers, thickeners, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, and buffering agents. Those skilled in the art will understand that a particular pharmaceutically acceptable excipient may perform multiple functions and may perform alternative functions depending on the amount of excipient present in the formulation and what other components are present in the formulation.

[0477] Those skilled in the art will possess the knowledge and skills in the art that will enable them to select appropriate amounts of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for use in this disclosure. Furthermore, there are numerous sources available to those skilled in the art that describe pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and may be useful in selecting appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Examples include Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company), The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives (Gower Publishing Limited), and The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Press).

[0478] In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a solid oral dosage form, such as a tablet or capsule, comprising an effective amount of the conjugate of the present disclosure and a diluent or expander. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a disintegrant or lubricant.

[0479] The conjugates of this disclosure are also understood to be formulated together with the vaccine as adjuvants to modulate the vaccine's activity. Such compositions may optionally contain one or more antibodies or antibody fragments or antigenic components together with one or more other components having adjuvant activity.

[0494] The diABZI STING agonist was prepared as described in Ramanjulu et al (Nature, 564(7736):439-443 (2018)).

[0495] XMT-1535 (anti-NaPi2b antibody) is disclosed in concurrently pending application US15 / 457,574, filed on 13 March 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. XMT-1519 (anti-HER2 antibody) is disclosed in US9,555,112, issued on 31 January 2017, and US9,738,720, issued on 22 August 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0496] XMT-1535 AF-HPA ADC, DAR 5.9 and rituximab AF-HPA ADC, DAR 5.5 were prepared as described in concurrently pending applications US62 / 958,916 filed on 9 January 2020 and US63 / 040,735 filed on 18 June 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0497] HPLC purification was performed using a Phenomenex Gemini 5μm C18 110Å, 250x10mm semi-preparative column.

[0498] Where applicable, the drug content of the conjugate was determined spectrophotometrically; otherwise, it was determined quantitatively by RP-HPLC or LC / MS.

[0499] The protein content of the antibody-drug conjugate was determined spectrophotometrically or by ELISA.

[0500] If necessary, the antibody-drug conjugate, drug-carrying scaffold, or antibody scaffold was purified by large-scale diafiltration, CHT chromatography, or HIC (i.e., removal of any remaining unreacted drug, non-conjugate antibody, enzyme, or starting material). If necessary, further purification was performed by SEC or HIC to remove aggregated antibody-drug conjugate. Generally, when purified, antibody-drug conjugates contained <5% (w / w) (e.g., <2% (w / w)) of aggregated antibody-drug conjugate when confirmed by SEC, <0.5% (w / w) (e.g., <0.1% (w / w)) of free (unconjugated) drug when confirmed by RP-HPLC and / or LC-MS / MS, <1% (w / w) of free drug conjugate when confirmed by SEC and / or RP-HPLC, and <10% (w / w) (e.g., <1% (w / w)) of unconjugated antibody or antibody fragment when confirmed by HIC-HPLC and / or RP-HPLC. Reduced or partially reduced antibodies were prepared using procedures described in the literature. See, for example, Francisco et al., Blood 102 (4):1458-1465 (2003). Total drug (conjugate and unconjugate) concentrations were determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis or RP-HPLC.

[0501] To determine the concentration of free drugs in biological samples, acidified samples were treated with acetonitrile. Free drugs were extracted, and the acetonitrile supernatant was analyzed. To determine the concentration of conjugated STING agonists in nonclinical samples, samples were subjected to immunocapture using anti-human Fc antibody magnetic beads, followed by thorough basic hydrolysis. The acetonitrile supernatant containing the released drugs was analyzed by LC-MS / MS. Total antibodies in nonclinical samples were measured using an MSD ECL immunoassay.

[0502] Free drug analysis was performed by RP-HPLC using a C-4 column and acetonitrile gradient. The MRM peak area obtained by tandem mass spectrometry was integrated and compared with auristatin F (AF) and auristatin F hydroxypropylamide (AF-HPA) standards. This method quantifies AF-HPA and AF in plasma and tissue homogenates, showing a linear relationship in the concentration range of 0.1–150 ng / mL. All drugs released after NaOH hydrolysis were measured under the same conditions. The dynamic range was 1 ng / mL–5000 ng / mL. The total antibody standard range was 0.009 μg / mL–20 μg / mL.

[0503] The drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) was determined by measuring the absorption of the conjugate. The DAR value was calculated using the appropriate molar extinction coefficients of the antibody and STING agonist payload.

[0504] The tumor was measured twice a week using a digital caliper, and the tumor volume was calculated using the formula: Tumor volume (mm³). 3 )=(width 2 The calculation was performed using x (length) / 2. Body weight was recorded daily during the first week, and twice a week thereafter. The tumor volume of each animal was ≥1000 mm. 3 Until it reaches ≥1500mm 3 The test continued until it reached or was as indicated. Weight percentage change is calculated using the formula: Weight change (%) = ((Weight 試験X日目 -body weight 試験1日目 ) / body weight 試験1日目 ) * Calculations were performed using 100. Tumor volume was reported as mean ± standard error of mean (SEM). Tumor growth inhibition (%TGI) was defined as the percentage difference in mean tumor volume (MTV) between the treatment group and the control group. Tumor size was measured throughout each efficacy trial to determine tumor growth inhibition (TGI). Percent tumor regression was calculated using the formula: % regression = (1 - (mean tumor volume) 最終 ) / (Average tumor volume 1日目 )) *Calculations were performed using 100. Partial remission (PR) is defined as the tumor volume being 50% or less of the volume on day 1 for three consecutive measurements, or the tumor volume being 13.5 mm in at least one of those three measurements. 3 It is defined as becoming equal to or greater than . Complete remission (CR) is defined as a tumor volume of 13.5 mm² over three consecutive measurements. 3 This is defined as being less than 100%. Tumor-free survivors (TFS) are classified as CR at the end of the trial.

[0676] Example 28A: Activity of tumor cell-targeting NaPi2b ADC in cancer cell / PBMC co-culture Human OVCAR3 ovarian cancer cells stably expressing the nuclear restriction mKate fluorescent red protein were generated by transduction using the IncuCyte (copyright) NucLight Red Lentivirus reagent. Selected stable transduction cells (named OVCAR3-NucRed cells) were seeded in puromycin-containing medium (2 μg / mL) for 2 days and seeded into 96-well tissue culture plates (8,000 cells / well). They were then incubated overnight in RPMI1640 medium containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin / streptomycin. The culture medium was then replaced with fresh medium (50 μL). Next, the test materials (3x concentrates, conjugate 8b-1 (100nM, 10nM, and 1nM), conjugate 8f (100nM, 10nM, and 1nM), conjugate 8c-1 (100nM and 10nM), and compound 1 (100nM and 10nM); conjugate concentrations were based on the payload) were added to each well containing medium (50 μL), and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes. Frozen human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were thawed according to the supplier's instructions and added to each well (40,000 PBMCs dissolved in 50 μL of medium), and the plates were placed in an IncuCyte (copyright) live cell imaging instrument in an incubator (37°C, 5% O2) and scanned every 4 hours for 2 days. The number of red objects (cancer cells) was quantified using IncuCyte (copyright) Zoom software. The red object confluence in each well was normalized relative to its own red object confluence at time T=0.

The test products (3x concentrates, 8l conjugate and compound 1 (100 nM, 10 nM, and 1 nM, respectively) and 8m conjugate (100 nM); conjugate concentration was based on the payload) were then added to each well containing medium (50 μL). The assay was performed as described in Example 28A, except that 30,000 PBMCs were used. The number of red objects (cancer cells) was quantified using IncuCyte (copyright) Zoom software. The number of red objects in each well was normalized to its own number of red objects at time T=0.

[0679] Figure 1B plots the number of red objects as a function of time, showing the rapid induction of cancer cell death by PBMCs in response to conjugate 8l at 1 / 100th the payload concentration compared to compound 1. Conjugate 8m showed no significant activity, and the increase in the number of red objects (cell proliferation) over time was similar to that of the untreated control. The inset shows that none of the test items (100 nM) inhibited the proliferation of OVCAR3-NucRed cells in monoculture.
