Description

METHODS FOR TREATING EYE CANCER USING ANTI-MET ANTIBODIES AND BISPECIFIC ANTIGEN-BINDING MOLECULES THAT BIND MET field of invention The present invention relates to the use of antibodies, bispecific antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, as well as antibody-drug conjugates of said antibodies, which specifically bind to the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met or MET) and modulate MET signal transduction, to treat ocular cancer, including uveal melanoma. Sequence listing information An official copy of the sequence listing is submitted together with the description electronically via EFS-Web as an ASCII-format sequence listing with a file name of 10548W001_SEQ_LIST_ST25.TXT, a creation date of February 20, 2020 and a size of approximately 140 kilobytes. The sequence listing contained herein in ASCII format is part of the description and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background of the invention Uveal melanoma is the most common primary infraocular malignancy in adults, accounting for 79-81% of ocular melanomas. Incidence rates in the United States are estimated at 5 / million inhabitants, while incidence rates in Europe range from 2 to 8 / million inhabitants, depending on latitude with a decrease in incidence from north to south. . Uveal melanoma has a high tendency to metastasize, resulting in a poor long-term prognosis, with death occurring in more than 50% of cases. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (also known as scatter factor [SF]) is a heterodimeric paracrine growth factor that exerts its activity by interacting with the HGF receptor (HGFR). HGFR is the product of the c-Met oncogene and is also known as MET. MET is a receptor tyrosine kinase consisting of a transmembrane beta chain disulfide-linked to an extracellular alpha chain. HGF binding to MET activates the catalytic activity of MET kinase resulting in the phosphorylation of Tyr 1234 and Tyr 1235 of the beta chain and subsequent activation of downstream signaling pathways. Tumor cell lines that have amplification of the MET gene are highly dependent on MET for growth and survival. Several monovalent MET-blocking antibodies are in clinical development for the treatment of various cancers (see US Patent Nos. 5,686,292; 5,646,036; 6,099,841; 7,476,724; 9,260,531; and 9,328,173; and US Patent Application Publications , No. 2014 / 0349310 and 2005 / 0233960). Those antibodies include onartuzumab (MetMab) and emibetuzumab, (Xiang et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 19(18):5068-78, 2013 and Rosen et al., Clin. Cancer Res., Published Oct 10, 2016, doi : 10.1158 / 1078-0432.CCR-16-1418). ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UOÓ4OÓ Some of these antibodies block ligand-dependent MET signaling, but are not as effective in blocking ligand-independent MET activation. Uveal melanoma tumors are characterized by mutations in G proteins (GNAQ and GNA11) and high expression of c-Met. Targeting c-Met in uveal melanoma results in inhibition of cell invasion and metastasis, however it does not suppress tumor growth. The rate of local tumor control and globe recovery has improved over time, but the survival rate remains relatively unchanged. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have advanced in recent years, several of which are approved for use by the FDA, but so far none have been developed for uveal melanoma. There remains a significant unmet medical need for improved anticancer drugs for use in the treatment of eye cancer, including uveal melanoma, that potently block ligand-independent and dependent MET signaling. Brief description of the invention Methods for treating ocular cancer such as uveal melanoma, orbital lymphoma, retinoblastoma and medulloepithelioma are provided herein. Methods include treatment with antibodies, antigen-binding antibody fragments, combinations of bivalent monospecific antibodies, or bispecific antibodies that bind to the human c-Met (MET x MET) receptor protein. Anti-MET antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof, can be used alone in unmodified form, or can be included as part of an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) or bispecific antibody. Antibodies and ADC are useful, inter alia, for targeting MET-expressing tumor cells and are therefore useful in methods for treating ocular cancer as described herein. Other embodiments will become apparent upon review of the following detailed description of the invention.

Methods and techniques for identifying CDRs within HCVR and LCVR amino acid sequences are well known in the art and can be used to identify CDRs within specified HCVR and / or LCVR amino acid sequences described herein. Illustrative conventions that can be used to identify CDR boundaries include, for example, the Kabat definition, the Chothia definition, and the AbM definition. Broadly speaking, the Kabat definition is based on sequence variability, the Chothia definition is based on the location of structural loop regions, and the AbM definition is a compromise between the Kabat and Chothia approaches. See, eg, Kabat, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991); Al-Lazikan¡ et al., J. Mol. Biol. 273:927-948 (1997); and Martin et al., Proc. nati. Acad. Sci. USA 36:9268-9272 (1989). Public databases are also available to identify CDR sequences within an antibody. Also useful according to the methods provided herein are anti-MET antibodies having a modified glycosylation pattern. In some embodiments, modification to remove undesirable glycosylation sites may be useful, or an antibody that lacks a fucose moiety present in the oligosaccharide chain, for example, to enhance antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) function. (see Shield et al. (2002) JBC 277:26733). In other applications, modification of galactosylation may occur to modify complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). MET x MET bispecific antigen-binding molecules The present inventors have observed that certain monospecific anti-MET antigen-binding molecules that block HGF binding to MET tend to potently activate MET signaling (an undesirable consequence for a therapeutic molecule). The present inventors have ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UOÓ4OÓ surprisingly discovered, however, that bispecific antigen-binding molecules that simultaneously bind to two separate epitopes on the extracellular domain of the MET protein are effective in blocking ligand binding to MET while causing poor agonism of MET signaling. Furthermore, the present inventors have surprisingly found that bispecific antigen binding molecules are uniquely suitable for treating ocular cancer such as uveal melanoma, orbital lymphoma, retinoblastoma and medulloepithelioma, and / or inhibiting or mitigating metastasis. Accordingly, bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprising a first antigen-binding domain (further referred to herein as D1), and a second antigen-binding domain, are useful in accordance with the methods described herein. binding to an antigen (further referred to herein as D2). Simultaneous binding of the two separate MET epitopes by the bispecific antigen-binding molecule results in effective ligand blockade with minimal activation of MET signalling. Bispecific antigen-binding molecules, comprising a first antigen-binding domain (D1) that specifically binds to a first human MET epitope and a second antigen-binding domain (D2) that specifically binds to a second epitope of human MET, may be referred to herein as MET x MET, MET x MET bispecific antibodies or other related terminology. In some embodiments, the first human MET epitope comprises amino acids 192-204 of SEQ ID NO: 155. In some embodiments, the second human MET epitope comprises amino acids 305-315 and 421-455 of SEQ ID NO: 155. In some embodiments, the first human MET epitope comprises amino acids 192-204 of SEQ ID NO: 155; and the second human MET epitope comprises amino acids 305-315 and 421-455 of SEQ ID NO: 155. In certain embodiments, the D1 and D2 domains of a MET x MET bispecific antibody are not competitive with each other. The non-competition between D1 and D2 for binding to MET means that the respective monospecific antigen-binding proteins from which D1 and D2 were derived do not compete with each other for binding to human MET. Illustrative antigen-binding protein competition assays are known in the art, non-limiting examples of which are described elsewhere in this disclosure. In certain embodiments, D1 and D2 bind to different (eg, non-overlapping or partially overlapping) epitopes on MET, as described elsewhere in this disclosure. MET x MET bispecific antigen binding molecules can be constructed by using the antigen binding domains of two separate monospecific anti-MET antibodies. For example, a library of monoclonal monospecific anti-MET antibodies can be produced using standard methods known in the art. The individual antibodies thus produced can be tested in pairs with each other for cross-competition with a MET protein. If two different anti-MET antibodies can bind to MET at the same time (i.e., they do not compete with each other), then the antigen-binding domain of the first anti-MET antibody and the antigen-binding domain of the second anti-MET antibody noncompetitive can be engineered into a single MET x MET bispecific antibody in accordance with the present disclosure. In accordance with the present disclosure, a bispecific antigen-binding molecule can be M A / t / ZUZ I / UOO4OO a single multifunctional polypeptide, or it can be a multimeric complex of two or more polypeptides covalently or non-covalently associated with each other. As will be apparent from the present disclosure, any antigen-binding construct that has the ability to simultaneously bind to two separate non-identical epitopes of the MET molecule is considered to be a bispecific antigen-binding molecule. Any of the bispecific antigen-binding molecules described herein, or variants thereof, can be constructed using standard molecular biology techniques (eg, recombinant DNA and protein expression technology), as will be known to one skilled in the art. The technique. Antigen-binding domains Bispecific antigen-binding molecules useful in the methods described herein comprise two separate antigen-binding domains (D1 and D2). As used herein, the term "antigen-binding domain" means any peptide, polypeptide, nucleic acid molecule, scaffold molecule, peptide-presenting molecule, or polypeptide-containing construct that is capable of specifically binding to an antigen. of particular interest (eg, human MET). The term "specifically binding" or the like, as used herein, means that the antigen-binding domain forms a complex with a particular antigen characterized by a dissociation constant (Kd) of 500 pM or less, and does not bind. to other unrelated antigens under normal test conditions. Unrelated antigens are proteins, peptides, or polypeptides that have less than 95% amino acid identity with each other. Illustrative categories of antigen-binding domains that may be used in the context of the present disclosure include antibodies, antigen-binding portions of antibodies, peptides that specifically interact with a particular antigen (eg, peptibodies), receptor molecules that interact specifically with a particular antigen, proteins that comprise a ligand-binding portion of a receptor that specifically binds a particular antigen, antigen-binding scaffolds (e.g., DARPin, HEAT repeat proteins, ARM repeat proteins, tetratricopeptide repeat proteins, and other naturally occurring repeat protein-based scaffolds, etc., [see, for example, Boersma and Pluckthun, 2011, Curr Opin Biotechnol 22:849-857, and references cited in the same]), and aptamers or portions thereof. Methods for determining whether two molecules specifically bind to each other are well known in the art and include, for example, equilibrium dialysis, surface plasmon resonance, and the like. For example, an antigen-binding domain, as used in the context of the present disclosure, includes polypeptides that bind to a particular antigen (eg, a target molecule [T] or an effector protein with internalization [E ]) or a portion thereof with a Kd of less than about 500 pM, less than about 400 pM, less than about 300 pM, less than about 200 pM, less than about 100 pM, less than about 90 pM, less than about 80 pM, less than about 70 pM, less than about 60 pM, less than about 50 pM, less than about 40 pM, less than about 30 pM, less than about 20 pM, less than about 10 pM, less than M A / Ε / ΖυΖΊ / UOO4OO about 5 pM, less than about 4 pM, less than about 2 pM, less than about 1 pM, less than about 0.5 pM, less than about 0.2 pM, less than about 0.1 pM, or less than approximately 0.05 pM, as measured in a surface plasmon resonance assay. The term surface plasmon resonance, as used in the present description, refers to an optical phenomenon that allows analysis of interactions in real time by detection of alterations in protein concentrations within a biosensor array, for example , using the BIAcore™ system (Biacore Life Sciences Division of GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ). The term Kd, as used herein, refers to the equilibrium dissociation constant of a particular protein-protein interaction (eg, antibody-antigen interaction). Unless otherwise indicated, the Kd values ​​described herein refer to the Kd values ​​determined by a surface plasmon resonance assay at 25SC. As indicated above, an antigen-binding domain (D1 and / or D2) can comprise or consist of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment of an antibody. The term "antibody", as used herein, means any antigen-binding molecule or molecular complex comprising at least one complementarity determining region (CDR) that specifically binds to or interacts with a particular antigen (eg, MET human). The term antibody includes immunoglobulin molecules comprising four polypeptide chains, two heavy (H) and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds, as well as multimers of these (eg, IgM). Each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as HCVR or Vh) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region comprises three domains, Ch1, Ch2 and Ch3. Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as LCVR or Vl) and a light chain constant region. The constant region of the light chain comprises a domain (Cl1). The Vh and Vl regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FRs). Each Vh and Vl 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 different embodiments, the FRs of the antibodies provided herein (or the antigen-binding portion thereof) may be identical to human germline sequences, or may be naturally or artificially modified. A consensus amino acid sequence can be defined based on a side-by-side analysis of two or more CDRs. Components D1 and / or D2 of the bispecific antigen-binding molecules provided herein may comprise or consist of antigen-binding fragments of whole antibody molecules. The terms antigen-binding portion of an antibody, antigen-binding fragment of an antibody, and the like, as used herein, include any naturally occurring polypeptide or glycoprotein, which may be obtained enzymatically, synthetically, or genetically modified cells that specifically bind to an antigen to form a complex. Antigen-binding fragments of an antibody can be derived, for example, from whole antibody molecules using any suitable standard technique such as proteolytic digestion or recombinant genetic modification techniques involving manipulation and expression of the encoding DNA. the variable and optionally constant domains of an antibody. Such DNA is known and / or readily available, for example, from commercial sources, DNA libraries (including, for example, antibody and phage libraries), or can be synthesized. DNA can be sequenced and manipulated chemically or through the use of molecular biological techniques, for example, to arrange one or more variable and / or constant domains in a suitable configuration, or to introduce codons, create cysteine ​​residues, modify, add or remove amino acids, etc. Non-limiting examples of antigen binding fragments include: (i) Fab fragments; (ii) F(ab')2 fragments; (ii) Fd fragments; (iv) Fv fragments; (v) single chain Fv (scFv) molecules; (vi) dAb fragments; and (vii) minimal recognition units consisting of amino acid residues that mimic the hypervariable region of an antibody (for example, an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR) such as a CDR3 peptide), or a FR3-CDR3-peptide. FR4 restricted. Other engineered molecules, such as domain-specific antibodies, single domain antibodies, domain-deleted antibodies, chimeric antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies, diabodies, triabodies, tetrabodies, minibodies, nanobodies (e.g. monovalent nanobodies, bivalent nanobodies , etc.), small modular immunopharmaceutical domains (SMIPs), and shark variable IgNARs, are also included within the term antigen-binding fragment, as used herein. An antigen-binding fragment of an antibody will typically comprise at least one variable domain. The variable domain can be of any size or amino acid composition and will generally comprise at least one CDR that is adjacent to, or in-frame with, one or more framework sequences. In antigen-binding fragments having a Vh domain associated with a Vl domain, the Vh and Vl domains may be positioned relative to each other in any suitable arrangement. For example, the variable region can be dimeric and contain Vh-Vh, Vh-Vl or Vl-Vl dimers. Alternatively, the antigen-binding fragment of an antibody may contain a Vh or Vl monomeric domain. In certain embodiments, an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody may contain at least one variable domain covalently linked to at least one constant domain. Illustrative non-limiting configurations of variable and constant domains that may be found within an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody of the present disclosure include: (i) Vh-Ch1 ; (ii) Vh-Ch2; (iii) Vh-Ch3; (iv) VhCh1-Ch2; (v) Vh-Ch1-Ch2-Ch3; (vi) Vh-Ch2-Ch3; (vii) Vh-Cl; (viii) Vl-Ch1; (¡x) Vl-Ch2; (x) Vl-Ch3; (x¡) Vl-Ch1Ch2; (x¡¡) Vl-Ch1-Ch2-Ch3; (xiii) Vl-Ch2-Ch3; and (xiv) Vl-Cl. In any configuration of variable and constant domains, including any of the illustrative configurations mentioned above, the variable and constant domains may be joined directly to one another or may be joined by a full or partial hinge or linker region. A hinge region may consist of at least 2 (eg, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, 60 or more) amino acids that result in a flexible or semi-flexible link between adjacent variable and / or constant domains in a single molecule. polypeptide. In addition, a fragment binding to ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UOO4OO antigen may comprise a homodimer or heterodimer (or other multimers) of any of the aforementioned constant and variable domain configurations in non-covalent association with each other and / or with one or more Vh or Vl monomeric domains (eg, by disulfide bond(s). Bispecific antigen binding molecules useful in the methods provided herein may comprise or consist of human antibodies and / or recombinant human antibodies or fragments thereof. The term human antibody, as used herein, includes antibodies having variable and constant regions derived from human germ-line immunoglobulin sequences. Human antibodies may, however, include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (for example, mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo), for example in the CDR and in particular CDR3. However, the term human antibody, as used herein, is not intended to include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto sequences of the human frame. Bispecific antigen-binding molecules useful in the methods provided herein may comprise or consist of recombinant human antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof. The term recombinant human antibody, as used herein, is intended to include all human antibodies that are prepared, expressed, created or isolated by recombinant means, such as antibodies expressed using a recombinant expression vector transfected into a host cell (described in more detail below), antibodies isolated from a combinatorial, recombinant, human antibody library (described in more detail below), antibodies isolated from an animal (for example, a mouse) that is transgenic for human immunoglobulin genes (see, for example, Taylor et al. (1992) Nucí. Acids Res. 20:6287-6295) or antibodies prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by any other means involving sequence splicing of human immunoglobulin genes with other DNA sequences.

The multimerization components may function to maintain the association between the antigen-binding domains (D1 and D2). As used herein, a multimerization component is any macromolecule, protein, polypeptide, peptide, or amino acid that has the ability to associate with a second multimerization component of the same or similar structure or constitution. For example, a multimerization component can be a polypeptide comprising a Ch3 immunoglobulin domain. A non-limiting example of a multimerization component is an Fe moiety of an immunoglobulin, for example, an Fe domain of an IgG selected from the IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 isotypes, as well as any allotype within each group of isotype. In certain embodiments, the multimerization component is an Fe fragment or an amino acid sequence from 1 to about 200 amino acids in length that contains at least one cysteine ​​residue. In other embodiments, the multimerization component is a cysteine ​​residue, or a short cysteine-containing peptide.

In certain embodiments, bispecific antigen-binding molecules comprise two multimerization domains, M1 and M2, where D1 binds M1 and D2 binds M2, and where association of M1 with M2 facilitates physical binding of D1 and D2 with each other in a single bispecific antigen-binding molecule. In certain embodiments, M1 and M2 are identical to each other. For example, M1 can be an Fe domain having a particular amino acid sequence, and M2 is an Fe domain with the same amino acid sequence as M1. Alternatively, M1 and M2 may differ from each other at one or more amino acid positions. For example, M1 may comprise a first Ch3 immunoglobulin (Ig) domain and M2 may comprise a second Ch3 Ig domain, where the first and second Ch3 Ig domains differ from each other by at least one amino acid, and where at least one difference of one amino acid reduces the binding of the targeting construct to Protein A compared to a reference construct having identical M1 and M2 sequences. In one embodiment, the Ig Ch3 domain of M1 binds Protein A and the Ig Ch3 domain of M2 contains a mutation that reduces or abolishes binding to Protein A such as an H95R modification (for IMGT exon numbering; H435R by the EU numbering).

Other modifications that can be found within Ch3 of M2 Include: D16E, L18M, N44S, K52N, V57M and V82I (by IMGT; D356E, L358M, N384S, K392N, V397M and V422I by EU) in the case of an Fe domain IgG1; N44S, K52N and V82I (IMGT; EU N384S, K392N and V422I) in the case of an lgG2 Fe domain; and Q15R, N44S, K52N, V57M, R69K, E79Q and M A / E / ZUZ I / UOO4OO V82I (by IMGT; Q355R, N384S, K392N, V397M, R409K, E419Q and V422I by EU) in the case of an lgG4 Fe domain. Bispecific antigen binding molecules useful in accordance with the methods provided herein can be isolated. An isolated bispecific antigen-binding molecule, as used herein, means a bispecific antigen-binding molecule that has been identified and separated and / or recovered from at least one component of its natural environment. For example, a bispecific antibody that has been separated or extracted from at least one component of an organism, or from a tissue or cell in which the antibody is produced, is an isolated bispecific antibody for the purposes of this disclosure. An isolated bispecific antigen binding molecule further includes molecules in situ within a recombinant cell. Isolated bispecific antigen-binding molecules are molecules that have undergone at least one purification or isolation step. According to certain embodiments, an isolated bispecific antigen-binding molecule may be substantially free of other cellular material and / or chemicals. Bispecific antigen-binding molecules useful according to the methods provided herein, or the antigen-binding domains thereof (D1 and / or D2) may comprise one or more amino acid substitutions, insertions, and / or deletions in the framework and / or CDR regions of the heavy and light chain variable domains compared to the corresponding germline sequences from which the antigen-binding proteins or antigen-binding domains were derived. Such mutations can be readily determined by comparing the amino acid sequences described herein with germline sequences available from, for example, public antibody sequence databases. Bispecific antigen-binding molecules or antigen-binding domains thereof (D1 and / or D2), are derived from any of the amino acid sequences described herein, where one or more amino acids within one or more framework and / or CDR regions were mutated to the corresponding residue(s) of the germline sequence(s) from which the antibody was derived, or to the corresponding residue(s) of another human germline sequence(s), or to a conservative amino acid substitution of the corresponding germline residue(s) (such sequence changes are collectively referred to herein as germline mutations). Beginning with the heavy and light chain variable region sequences described herein, one skilled in the art can readily produce numerous bispecific antigen-binding molecules, or antigen-binding domains thereof (D1 and / or D2) comprising one or more individual germline mutations or combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, all framework and / or CDR residues within the Vh and / or Vl domains are mutated back to residues found in the original germline sequence from which the antibody was derived. In other embodiments, only certain residues were mutated back to the original germline sequence, for example, only mutated residues found within the first 8 amino acids of FR1 or within the last 8 amino acids of FR4, or only mutated residues. found within CDR1, CDR2 or CDR3. In other embodiments, one or more of the framework and / or CDR residues are mutated to the corresponding residue(s) of a different germline sequence (i.e., a germline sequence that is different from the germline sequence from which the antibody was originally derived). In addition, the bispecific antigen-binding molecules or antigen-binding domains thereof (D1 and / or D2) useful herein may contain any combination of two or more germline mutations within the framework and / or framework regions. or CDRs, for example, where certain individual residues are mutated to the corresponding residue of a particular germline sequence while certain other residues that differ from the original germline sequence are maintained or mutated to the corresponding residue of a sequence of the different germ line. Once obtained, bispecific antigen-binding molecules, or the antigen-binding domains thereof (D1 and / or D2) containing one or more germline mutations can be readily assayed for one or more desired properties such as, better binding specificity, higher binding affinity, improved or enhanced agonist or antagonist biological properties (as appropriate on a case-by-case basis), lower immunogenicity, etc. Bispecific antigen-binding molecules, or antigen-binding domains thereof (D1 and / or D2), obtained in this general manner are contemplated as useful in the present disclosure. variants Also useful herein are anti-MET antibodies, and bispecific antigen binding molecules comprising variants of any of the HCVR, LCVR and / or CDR amino acid sequences described herein. Illustrative variants included in this aspect include variants of any of the HCVR, LCVR, and / or CDR amino acid sequences described herein that have one or more conservative substitutions. For example, the present disclosure includes anti-MET antibodies and MET x MET bispecific antigen-binding molecules having HCVR, LCVR and / or CDR amino acid sequences with, for example, 10 or less, 8 or less, 6 or less , 4 or less, etc. conservative amino acid substitutions with respect to any of the HCVR, LCVR and / or CDR amino acid sequences set forth in Table 1 of the present disclosure. Illustrative variants include variants that have substantial sequence identity to any of the HCVR, LCVR, and / or CDR amino acid sequences described herein. As used herein in the context of amino acid sequences, the term "Substantially Identity" or "Substantially Identical" means that two amino acid sequences, when optimally aligned, such as by the GAP or BESTFIT programs through the use of weights of Default break, share at least 95%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity. In certain embodiments, residue positions, which are not identical, differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. A "conservative amino acid substitution" is one in which one amino acid residue is substituted for another amino acid residue having a side chain (R group) with similar chemical properties (eg, charge or hydrophobicity). In general, a conservative amino acid substitution will not substantially change the functional properties of a protein. In cases where two or more amino acid sequences differ from each other by conservative substitutions, the percent sequence identity or degree of similarity can be adjusted upward to correct for the nature of the sequence. ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UO0400 conservative substitution. Means for making this adjustment are well known to those skilled in the art. See, for example, Pearson (1994) Methods Mol. BioL 24: 307-331, is incorporated herein by reference. Examples of groups of amino acids that have side chains with 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: aspartate and glutamate, and (7) sulfur-containing side chains are cysteine ​​and methionine. Preferred conservative amino acid substitution groups are: valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine-valine, glutamate-aspartate, and asparagine-glutamine. Alternatively, a conservative replacement is any change that has a positive value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix described in Gonnet et al. (1992) Science 256:1443-1445, incorporated herein by reference. A moderately conservative replacement is any change that has a non-negative value in the PAM250 log-likelihood matrix. Sequence identity between two different amino acid sequences is typically measured using a sequence analysis computer program. The sequence analysis computer program searches for matches between similar sequences using similarity measures assigned to various substitutions, deletions, and other modifications, including conservative amino acid substitutions. For example, the GCG software contains programs such as GAP and BESTFIT that can be used with predetermined parameters to determine sequence homology or sequence identity between closely related polypeptides, such as homologous polypeptides from different species of organisms or between a protein from wild type and a mutein thereof. See, for example, GCG Version 6.1. Polypeptide sequences can also be compared using FASTA with default or recommended parameters; a program in GCG Version 6.1. FASTA (eg, FASTA2 and FASTA3) provides alignments and percent sequence identity of the regions of best overlap between the query and search sequences (Pearson (2000) supra). Another preferred algorithm when comparing a sequence provided herein with a database containing a large number of sequences from different organisms is the BLAST computer program, especially BLASTP or TBLASTN, using predetermined parameters. See, for example, Altschul et al. (1990) J. Mol. BioL 215:403-410 and Altschul et al. (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-402, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

For example, such variants include anti-MET antibodies and MET x MET bispecific antigen-binding proteins that comprise a mutation in the Ch2 or Ch3 region of the Fe domain, wherein the mutation(s) increases the affinity of the Fe domain to FcRn in an acidic environment (for example, in an endosome where the pH ranges from about 5.5 to about 6.0). Such mutations may result in an increased serum half-life of the antibody when administered to an animal. Non-limiting examples of such Fe modifications include, for example, a modification at position 250 (eg, E or Q); 250 and 428 (eg, L or F); 252 (for example, UY / F / \N or T), 254 (for example, S or T), and 256 (for example, S / R / Q / E / D or T); or a modification at position 428 and / or 433 (eg H / L / R / S / P / Q or K) and / or 434 (eg H / F or Y); or a modification at position 250 and / or 428; or a modification at position 307 or 308 (eg, 308F, V308F) and 434.

As used herein, partially overlapping epitopes means that the first and second epitopes share less than 5, less than 4, less than 3, or only one common amino acid as determined by any epitope mapping methodology known in the art. technique (eg, X-ray crystallography, alanine scanning mutagenesis, hydrogen / deuterium exchange [HDX], domain exchange, etc.). Domains D1 and D2 may not be competitive with each other. For example, in certain embodiments, binding of a D1 domain of a particular MET x MET bispecific antigen-binding molecule to its epitope on MET does not (or only minimally) inhibit the binding of the D2 domain of the antigen-binding molecule. MET x MET bispecific to its epitope on MET. Due to the non-overlapping (or at most partially overlapping) nature of the respective epitopes of the D1 and D2 components, MET x MET bispecific antigen-binding molecules can bind to a single MET molecule on the cell surface. Various techniques known to those skilled in the art can be used to determine the epitope on MET with which the antibodies and antigen-binding domains useful herein interact. Illustrative techniques that can be used to determine an epitope or binding domain of a particular antibody or antigen-binding domain include, for example, point mutagenesis (eg, alanine scanning mutagenesis, arginine scanning mutagenesis, etc.), peptide blot analysis (Reineke, 2004, Methods Mol Biol 248:443-463), protease protection and peptide cleavage analysis. In addition, methods such as epitope cleavage, epitope extraction and chemical modification of antigens can be employed (Tomer, 2000, Protein Science 9:487496). Another method that can be used to identify the amino acids within a polypeptide with which an antibody interacts is hydrogen / deuterium exchange detected by mass spectrometry. Broadly speaking, the deuterium / hydrogen exchange method involves deuterium labeling of the protein of interest, followed by binding of the antibody to the deuterium labeled protein. The protein / antibody complex is then transferred to water to allow hydrogen-deuterium exchange to occur at all residues except antibody-protected residues (which remain deuterium-labeled). After dissociation of the antibody, the target protein is subjected to protease cleavage and mass spectrometry analysis, thereby revealing deuterium-labeled residues that correspond to the specific amino acids with which the antibody interacts. See, for example, Ehring (1999) Analytical Biochemistry 267(2):252-259; Engen and Smith (2001) Anal. Chem. 73:256A265A. X-ray crystal structure analysis can also be used to identify the amino acids within a polypeptide with which an antibody interacts. In accordance with the methods provided herein, anti-MET antibodies (including bispecific antibodies) that bind to the same epitope as any of the illustrative specific antibodies or antigen-binding domains described herein ( for example, antibodies comprising any of the amino acid sequences as set forth in Table 1 of the present disclosure). Likewise, the present disclosure also provides anti-MET antibodies that compete for binding to MET with any of the illustrative specific antibodies described herein (for example, antibodies comprising any of the amino acid sequences as set forth in Table 1 in the present description). In some embodiments, the human MET epitope to which anti-MET antibodies bind comprises amino acids 192-204, amino acids 305-315, and / or amino acids 421-455 of SEQ ID NO: 155. In some embodiments, the first human MET epitope comprises amino acids 192-204 of SEQ ID NO: 155; and the second human MET epitope comprises amino acids 305-315 and 421-455 of SEQ ID NO: 155. Whether an antibody binds to the same epitope as, or competes for binding with, a reference anti-MET antibody can be readily determined using routine methods known in the art and exemplified herein. For example, to determine whether a test antibody binds to the same epitope as a reference anti-MET antibody provided herein, the reference antibody is allowed to bind to a MET protein. Next, the ability of a test antibody to bind to the MET molecule is assessed. If the test antibody is able to bind MET after saturation binding with the reference anti-MET antibody, it can be concluded that the test antibody binds a different epitope than the reference anti-MET antibody. Besides, ΜΛΖ t / ZUZ IZUO0400 if the test antibody cannot bind to the MET molecule after saturation binding with the reference anti-MET antibody, then the test antibody can bind to the same epitope as the epitope bound by the anti-MET antibody -MET reference. Additional routine experimentation (eg, binding and peptide mutation analysis) can be carried out to confirm whether the observed lack of binding of the test antibody is indeed due to binding to the same epitope as the reference antibody or whether steric blockade (or other phenomenon) is responsible for the observed non-binding. Experiments of this type can be performed using ELISA, RIA, Biacore, flow cytometry, or any other quantitative or qualitative antibody binding assay available in the art. According to certain embodiments, two antibodies bind to the same (or overlapping) epitope if, for example, a 1-, 5-, 10-, 20-, or 100-fold excess of one antibody inhibits the binding of the other by at least 50%, but preferably 75%, 90% or even 99%, as measured in a competitive binding assay (see, for example, Junghans et al., Cancer Res. 1990:50:1495-1502). Alternatively, two antibodies are considered to bind to the same epitope if essentially all amino acid mutations in the antigen that reduce or eliminate binding of one antibody reduce or eliminate binding of the other. Two antibodies are considered to have overlapping epitopes if only a subset of the amino acid mutations that reduce or eliminate the binding of one antibody reduce or eliminate the binding of the other. To determine whether an antibody competes for binding (or cross-competes for binding) with a reference anti-MET antibody, the binding methodology described above is performed in two orientations: In a first orientation, the antibody is allowed to reference binds to a MET protein under saturation conditions followed by assessment of the binding of the test antibody to the MET molecule. In a second orientation, the test antibody is allowed to bind to a MET molecule under saturation conditions followed by an assessment of the binding of the reference antibody to the MET molecule. If, in both orientations, only the first antibody (in saturation) is capable of binding to the MET molecule, then it is concluded that the test antibody and the reference antibody compete for binding to MET. As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, an antibody that competes for binding to a reference antibody does not necessarily bind to the same epitope as the reference antibody, but may spherically block the reference antibody from binding to an epitope. adjacent or overlapping. Preparation of human antibodies Anti-MET antibodies and MET x MET bispecific antibodies useful according to the methods provided herein may be fully human antibodies. Methods for generating monoclonal antibodies, including fully human monoclonal antibodies, are known in the art. Any such known methods can be used in the context of the present disclosure to produce human antibodies that specifically bind to human MET. Using the VELOCIMMUNE™ technology, for example, or any other similar method known to generate fully human monoclonal antibodies, high affinity chimeric antibodies to METs having a human variable region and a mouse constant region are initially isolated. As in the experimental section below, antibodies are characterized and screened for desirable characteristics, including affinity, ligand-blocking activity, selectivity, epitope, and so on. If necessary, the mouse constant regions are replaced with a desired human constant region, eg, modified or wild-type IgG1 or IgG4, to generate a fully human anti-MET antibody. While the selected constant region may vary according to its specific use, antigen-binding characteristics with high affinity and target specificity reside in the variable region. In certain instances, fully human anti-MET antibodies are isolated directly from antigen-positive B cells. bioequivalent Anti-MET antibodies and antibody fragments useful in accordance with the methods provided herein encompass proteins that have amino acid sequences that vary from those of the disclosed antibodies, but retain the ability to bind MET. Such antibody variants and antibody fragments comprise one or more amino acid additions, deletions, or substitutions compared to the parental sequence, but exhibit biological activity that is essentially equivalent to that of the disclosed antibodies. Similarly, the DNA sequences encoding anti-MET antibodies of the present disclosure encompass sequences that comprise one or more nucleotide additions, deletions, or substitutions compared to the described sequence, but that encode an anti-MET antibody or antibody fragment. which is essentially bioequivalent to an anti-MET antibody or antibody fragment of the disclosure. Examples of such variant amino acid and DNA sequences are discussed above. Two antigen-binding proteins, or antibodies, are considered bioequivalent if, for example, they are pharmaceutical equivalents or pharmaceutical alternatives whose rate and degree of absorption do not show a significant difference when administered at the same molar dose under similar experimental conditions, either in single or multiple doses. Some antibodies will be considered equivalent or pharmaceutical alternatives if they are equivalent in the degree of their absorption but not in their rate of absorption and may still be considered bioequivalent because such differences in rate of absorption are intentional and reflected on the label, they are not essential for obtaining effective body concentrations of drugs in, for example, chronic use, and are considered medically insignificant for the particular drug product studied. In one embodiment, two antigen-binding proteins are bioequivalent if there are no clinically significant differences in their safety, purity, and potency. In one embodiment, two antigen-binding proteins are bioequivalent if a patient can be switched one or more times between the reference product and the biologic without an expected increase in the risk of adverse effects, including a clinically significant change in the immunogenicity, or decreased efficacy, compared to continued therapy without such a change. In one embodiment, two antigen-binding proteins are bioequivalent if they both act by a common mechanism(s) of action for the condition(s) of use, to the extent such mechanisms are known. Bioequivalence can be demonstrated by in vivo and in vitro methods. The measurements of M A / IZ / ZUZI / UOÓ4OÓ bioequivalence includes, for example, (a) an in vivo test in humans or other mammals, in which the concentration of the antibody or its metabolites is measured in blood, plasma, serum or other biological fluid in function of time; (b) an in vitro test that has been correlated with and is reasonably predictive of in vivo human bioavailability data; (c) an in vivo test in humans or other mammals in which the appropriate acute pharmacological effect of the antibody (or its target) is measured as a function of time; and (d) in a well-controlled clinical trial that establishes the safety, efficacy, or bioavailability or bioequivalence of an antibody. Bioequivalent variants of the anti-MET antibodies provided herein can be constructed, for example, by making multiple residue or sequence substitutions or terminal deletion or internal residues or sequences that are not required for biological activity. For example, cysteine ​​residues that are not essential for biological activity can be removed or replaced with other amino acids to avoid unnecessary or incorrect intramolecular disulfide bond formation upon renaturation. In other contexts, bioequivalent antibodies can include variants of anti-MET antibodies that comprise amino acid changes, which modify the glycosylation characteristics of the antibodies, eg, mutations that abolish or remove glycosylation. Species selectivity and cross-species reactivity The present disclosure, in accordance with certain embodiments, provides anti-MET antibodies (and antigen-binding molecules comprising anti-MET antigen-binding domains) that bind human MET but not MET from other species, and are useful. in the treatment of ocular cancers such as uveal melanoma, orbital lymphoma, retinoblastoma and medulloepithelioma.

According to this aspect, the D1 domain can ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UOÓ4OÓ comprise any of the HCVR / LCVR or CDR amino acid sequences as set forth in Table 1 herein, and the D2 domain may comprise any other of the HCVR / LCVR amino acid sequences or CDR as set forth in Table 1 of the present disclosure (provided that the binding specificity of the D1 domain is different from the binding specificity of the D2 domain, and / or the antigen-binding protein from which D1 was derived is not compete for binding to MET with the antigen-binding protein from which D2 was derived). In some embodiments, the human MET epitope to which anti-MET antibodies bind comprises amino acids 192-204, amino acids 305-315, and / or amino acids 421-455 of SEQ ID NO: 155. In some embodiments, the first human MET epitope comprises amino acids 192-204 of SEQ ID NO: 155; and the second human MET epitope comprises amino acids 305-315 and 421-455 of SEQ ID NO: 155. According to a separate aspect, conventional bispecific antibodies are also provided as useful herein wherein one arm of the bispecific antibody binds to an epitope on human MET and the other arm of the bispecific antibody binds to a second antigen other than MET. The MET binding arm may comprise any of the HCVR / LCVR or CDR amino acid sequences as set forth in Table 1 herein. In certain embodiments, the MET-binding arm binds to human MET and blocks the binding of HGF to MET. In other embodiments, the MET-binding arm binds human MET but does not block HGF from binding to MET. An illustrative bispecific antibody format that can be used in the context of the present disclosure involves the use of a first Ch3 immunoglobulin (Ig) domain and a second Ch3 Ig domain, wherein the first and second Ch3 Ig domains differ from each other. by at least one amino acid, and wherein the at least one amino acid difference decreases the binding of the bispecific antibody to Protein A as compared to a bispecific antibody lacking the amino acid difference. In one embodiment, the first Ch3 Ig domain binds Protein A and the second Ch3 Ig domain contains a mutation that decreases or abolishes Protein A binding such as an H95R modification (based on IMGT exon numbering; H435R according to EU numbering). The second Ch3 can also comprise a modification Y96F (according to IMGT; Y436F according to EU). Other modifications that can be found within the second Ch3 include: D16E, L18M, N44S, K52N, V57M and V82I (according to IMGT; D356E, L358M, N384S, K392N, V397M and V422I according to EU) in the case of lgG1 antibodies; N44S, K52N and V82I (IMGT; EU N384S, K392N and V422I) in the case of IgG2 antibodies; and Q15R, N44S, K52N, V57M, R69K, E79Q and V82I (by IMGT; Q355R, N384S, K392N, V397M, R409K, E419Q and V422I according to EU) in the case of lgG4 antibodies.

For example, an anti-MET antibody, or fragment thereof, can be used to diagnose a condition or disease characterized by aberrant expression (for ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UOÓ4OÓ example, overexpression, underexpression, lack of expression, etc.) of MET. Illustrative diagnostic assays for MET may comprise, for example, contacting a sample, obtained from a patient, with an anti-MET antibody or a MET x MET bispecific antigen-binding molecule wherein the anti-MET antibody is labeled with a detectable label or reporter molecule. Alternatively, an anti-MET antibody or an unlabeled MET x MET bispecific antigen binding molecule can be used in diagnostic applications in combination with a detectably labeled secondary antibody. The detectable marker or reporter molecule can be a radioisotope, such as 3H14C, 32P, 35S, or 1251; a fluorescent or chemiluminescent moiety such as fluorescein or rhodamine; or an enzyme such as alkaline phosphatase, deta-galactosidase, horseradish peroxidase or luciferase. Illustrative specific assays that can be used to detect or measure MET in a sample include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmunoassay (RIA), immuno-PET (eg, 89Zr, 64Cu, etc), and cell sorting. fluorescence activated (FACS). Samples that can be used in MET diagnostic assays in accordance with the present disclosure include any tissue or fluid sample that can be obtained from a patient, particularly tissue or fluid found in the eye or eye socket. Generally, MET levels in a particular sample obtained from a healthy patient (eg, a patient not suffering from a disease or disorder associated with abnormal MET levels or activity) will be measured to initially establish a baseline or standard MET level. This initial MET level can then be compared to MET levels measured in samples obtained from individuals suspected of having a MET-related disease or disorder. examples The following examples are intended to provide those skilled in the art with a complete description of how to make and use the methods and compositions provided herein, and are not intended to limit the scope of what the inventors consider to be their invention. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to the numbers used (eg amounts, temperature, etc.) but some experimental errors and deviations must be accounted for.

Generation of anti-MET antibodies Anti-MET antibodies were obtained by immunizing a genetically engineered mouse comprising DNA encoding variable regions of the human immunoglobulin kappa light and heavy chain with an immunogen comprising the extracellular domain of recombinant human MET fused to human Fe (R&D Systems , Catalog #358-MT, Minneapolis, MN). The mice used for the immunizations express a universal light chain. That is, the antibodies produced in this mouse have different heavy chain variable regions but essentially identical light chain variable domains. The antibody immune response was monitored by a specific immunoassay for MET. When a desired immune response was achieved, the splenocytes were harvested and fused with mouse myeloma cells to preserve their viability and form hybridoma cell lines. Hybridoma cell lines were screened and selected to identify cell lines that produce MET-specific antibodies. A number of chimeric anti-MET antibodies (ie, antibodies possessing human variable domains and mouse constant domains) were obtained using this technique. In addition, several fully human anti-MET antibodies were isolated directly from antigen-positive B cells without fusion with myeloma cells, as described in US 2007 / 0280945A1. Certain biological properties of illustrative anti-MET antibodies generated according to the methods of this Example, and bispecific antibodies constructed therefrom, are described in detail in the Examples set forth below. Example 2. Amino Acid and Nucleic Acid Sequences of the Variable Regions of the Heavy and Light Chain Table 1 sets forth the amino acid sequence identifiers of the heavy and light chain variable regions and CDRs of selected anti-MET antibodies described herein. (As indicated above, all of the antibodies generated in Example 1 possess the same light chain variable region and thus the same light chain CDR sequences as well).

Example 3. Binding affinities derived from surface plasmon resonance and kinetic constants of human anti-MET monoclonal antibodies (monospecific) Binding affinities and kinetic constants of human anti-MET antibodies were determined by surface plasmon resonance (Biacore 4000 or T-200) at 37°C. The anti-Met antibodies tested in this example were bivalent monospecific binders of MET. Antibodies, expressed as human IgG4 (designated Ή4Η), were captured on a derivatized CM4 or CM5 Biacore sensor surface via amine coupling with a mouse monoclonal anti-human Fe antibody (GE, BR-1008-39). Various concentrations Met proteins, soluble monomeric Met.mmh (human (h); SEQ ID NO: 152; macaca fascicularis (mf) Met.mmh; SEQ ID NO: 154) or dimeric (hMet.mFc; SEQ ID NO: 153) they were injected onto the captured surface with anti-MET antibody at a flow rate of 30 or 50 pL / minute. The association of hMET.mmh or hMET.mFc to the captured monoclonal antibody was monitored for 4 or 5 min and dissociation was monitored in running buffer of hMET.mmh or hMET.mFc in HBS-ET (0.01 M HEPES pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCI, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% v / v surfactant P20) or PBS-P (0.01 M sodium phosphate pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCI, 0.05% v / v surfactant P20) for 10 min. Kinetic association (ka) and dissociation (ko) rate constants were determined by fitting the real-time sensorgrams to a 1:1 binding model using Scrubber 2.0c curve-fitting software. The equilibrium binding dissociation constant (Kd) and dissociative half-life (t1 / 2) were calculated from the kinetic rate constants as: ^¢)1)=^,,^(^) = ^ Binding kinetic parameters for monospecific anti-Met antibodies for monomeric and dimeric Met protein are shown below in Table 3.

Example 4. Anti-Met antibodies bind to different epitopes on the Met receptor To assess whether two anti-Met antibodies are capable of competing with each other to bind to their respective epitopes on MET, a binding competition assay was performed using real-time labelless biofilm interferometry (BLI) on an OCTET biosensor. ® HTX (ForteBlo Corp., Menlo Park, CA). In summary, approximately 0.25 nM of human MET extracellular domain expressed with a myc-myc-hexahistidine tag at the C-terminus (hMet.mmh) was first captured on OCTET® biosensors coated with anti-penta-His antibody (FortéBio Corp. , #18-5079) by immersing the biosensors for 5 minutes in wells containing a 20 pg / mL solution of hMET.mmh. The antigen-captured biosensors were then saturated with a first anti-MET antibody (subsequently referred to as mAb-1) by immersing them in wells containing a 50 pg / mL solution of mAb-1 for 5 minutes. The biosensors were then immersed in wells containing a 50 pg / mL solution of a second anti-MET antibody (subsequently referred to as mAb-2) for 3 minutes. All biosensors were washed in OCTET® HEPES-buffered EDTA-saline polysorbate 20 buffer (HBS-EP) between each step of the experiment. The real-time binding response was monitored during the course of the experiment and the binding response was recorded at the end of each step. The binding response of mAb-2 to the anti-MET precomplex was compared with mAb-1 and the competitive / non-competitive behavior of different anti-MET monoclonal antibodies was determined using a 50% inhibition threshold.

Construction of Bispecific Antibodies Having Two Different Antigen-Binding Domains Specific for Different MET Epitopes This example describes the construction of bispecific antibodies comprising two different antigen-binding domains (D1 and D2), where D1 and D2 are derived from different anti-MET antibodies and consequently bind separate epitopes on the extracellular domain. of Met. The individual anti-MET antigen binding domains used to construct the bispecific antibodies of this Example were derived from various bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibodies described in Examples 1 to 3, herein. All anti-MET antibodies described herein comprise the same (common) light chain (comprising the light chain variable region [LCVR] amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:138, and the amino acid sequences of the CDR of the light chain [LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3] of SEQ ID NO: 140, 142 and 144). Furthermore, all of the bispecific antibodies illustrated in this example contain a D2 arm derived from the illustrative anti-MET antibody H4H13312P2. Thus, both antigen-binding domains (D1 and D2) of all bispecific antibodies described in this example comprise this common light chain variable region, and all D2-binding arms comprise the heavy chain variable region of D2. H4H13312P2; however, bispecific antibodies differ from each other in terms of their heavy chain D1 variable regions (HCVR) and heavy chain CDR (HCDR).

Various concentrations of soluble monomeric MET protein (hMet.mmh, SEQ ID NO: 152) were injected onto the surface captured with anti-MET x MET bispecific antibody at a flow rate of 30 or 50 pL / min. The association of the analyte with the captured bispecific antibody was monitored for 4 or 5 minutes and the dissociation of the analyte in HBS-ET (0.01 M HEPES pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCI, 3 mM EDTA, 0.05% v / v Surfactant P20) or PBS-P (0.01 M sodium phosphate pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCI, 0.05% v / v surfactant P20) was monitored for 10 min. The kinetic association (ka) and dissociation (kd) rate constants were determined as described in Example 3. Binding kinetic parameters for bispecific anti-Met antibodies to monomeric Met protein (hMET.mmh) are shown in Table 6.

Anti-Met Antibodies Block HFG-Mediated Met Activation in the SRE-Luciferase Reporter Bioassay The ability of anti-MET antibodies to block hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-mediated activation of MET was examined in a luciferase-based reporter assay. Growth factor HGF binds to the extracellular domain of its c-Met (MET) receptor, triggering rapid homodimerization and activating several downstream signaling cascades. The anti-MET antibodies tested in this example were bivalent monospecific MET binders, or anti-MET bispecific, in which each arm of the bispecific antibody bound a different and distinct epitope on MET. A cell-based luciferase reporter assay (Figure 2) was used to determine the ability of anti-MET antibodies to activate MET signaling (Figure 3A; Table 8, columns 3 and 4) and to block MET-mediated activation. MET ligand (Figure 3B; Table 8, columns 1 and 2). Briefly, the CIGNAL™ Lenti SRE Reporter (luc) Kit (SABiosciences, Hilden, DE) was used to generate HEK293 / SRE-Luc cells. HEK293 (human embryonic kidney) cells were selected because they endogenously express c-Met. HEK293 / SRE-Luc cells stably incorporated the serum response element (SRE)-dependent reporter luciferase (Luc) (see Dinter et al., PLoS ONE 10(2): eO117774, 2015). HEK293 / SRE-Luc cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin / streptomycin / glutamine, and 1 pg / mL puromycin. Next, 2.0 x 105 HEK293 / SRE-Luc cells were seeded in luciferase assay medium in 96-well plates and incubated overnight at 37°C in 5% CO2. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) dose-response curves were generated by adding serially diluted HGF (0.01 pM to 1.0 nM) to the cells and recording the luciferase signal after incubation at 37 °C for four to six hours in the absence of antibodies. To generate antibody inhibition curves, cells were pre-incubated for one hour at 37SC with serially diluted (1.1 pM to 200 nM) anti-human MET antibodies. HGF was then added at a concentration of 73 pM or 100 pM for an additional four to six hours before recording the signal. Separately, the ability of the antibodies to activate c-Met in the absence of ligand was also assessed. Luciferase activity was detected using the ONE-Glo™ Luciferase Assay System (Promega, Madison, WI) and emitted light was measured on a Victor or Envision luminometer (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, CT) and expressed as units of relative light (RLU). EC50 / IC50 values ​​were determined from a four-parameter logistic equation on a 12-point response curve using GRAPHPAD PRISM®. HGF percent blockade and MET fold activation (mAbs alone) were reported for the highest antibody dose. The results are shown in Table 8.

As summarized in Table 8, most antibodies inhibited SRE reporter activation, with IC50 values ​​ranging from <2.0 pM to approximately 1.0 nM. Several illustrative monospecific bivalent anti-MET antibodies, such as H4H13306P2 and H4H13309P2, were potent inhibitors of SRE-luc activation, with percent inhibition values ​​of 67% and 77%, respectively. Anti-MET bispecific antibodies (MET x MET) showed greater inhibition of SRE-luc activation overall. For example, the MET x MET bispecific antibody H4H14639D showed 95 percent inhibition. In addition, several blocking antibodies were weakly activated in the absence of ligand with activation responses ranging from 0.8 to 14.4 fold above control levels. Also as shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the bivalent monospecific antibodies H41413306P2 and H4H13312P2 each activate the Met pathway in the absence of HGF ligand (Figure 3A) and also block HGF activation of Met (Figure 3B). The effect of a bispecific MET x MET antibody (eg H4H14639D) on HGF-dependent and independent MET activation was also evaluated using the HEK293 / SRELuc system. SRE-driven luciferase activity was measured in HEK293T cells treated with MET antibodies H4H14639D (the MET x MET bispecific antibody), a monovalent anti-MET antibody, and the parental antibody H4H14639D H4H13312P2 at various concentrations to determine the level of MET independent of the agonism to HGF. While the parental anti-MET monospecific bivalent antibody showed MET agonist activity, neither the monovalent nor the MET x MET bispecific antibody showed MET agonist activity (Figure 4A). SRE-driven luciferase activity was measured in HEK293T cells treated with MET antibodies H4H14639D (the MET x MET bispecific antibody), a monovalent anti-MET antibody, and the parental antibody H4H14639D H4H13312P2 at various concentrations to determine the level of inhibition or blockage. of HGF-dependent MET agonism. While the parental anti-MET monospecific bivalent antibody showed some HGF blocking activity, both the monovalent antibody and the MET x MET bispecific antibody showed greater HGF blocking (Figure 4B). The MET x MET bispecific antibody blocks HGF signaling and exhibits low MET agonist activity. Example 8. Anti-Met antibodies inhibit the growth of cells amplified with Met Selected anti-Met antibodies were then tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of MET-amplified SNU5 cells. Briefly, 2.5 x 103 human gastric carcinoma cells (SNU5) were seeded in complete growth medium in the presence of anti-MET antibodies at concentrations ranging from 1.5 pM to 100 nM. SNU5 complete growth medium contained Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium, 10% FBS and penicillin / streptomycin / glutamine. Cells were incubated for 5 days and the number of viable cells was determined using the CELLTITER-GLO® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay Kit (Promega, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer's instructions. As summarized in Table 9, several anti-MET antibodies, such as H4H13312P2 and H4H13325P2 blocked SNU5 growth by more than 50%, with total IC50 values ​​ranging from 44 pM to 780 pM. Figure 5 depicts the relative cell growth of SNU5 cells treated with various anti-MET bivalent monospecific antibodies (ie, standard antibodies). A subset of conventional MET antibodies inhibits the growth of SNU5 MET-amplified gastric cancer cells (Figure 5). SNU5 cells in 96-well plates were treated with each antibody at 10 pg / mL and ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UOÓ4OÓ Cell growth was determined after 5 days by reduction of ALAMARBLUE® reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). The monovalent MET antibody (lane 2, Figure 5) was generated using the MetMab heavy and light chain variable sequences as set forth in US Patent 7,892,550 B2, which is incorporated herein by reference at its entirety. Standard antibody 8 is H4H13306P2 and standard antibody 11 is H4H13312P2, which were used to construct the MET x MET bispecific antibody H4H14639D. In a separate growth assay, the blocking activity of a MET x MET bispecific antibody (i.e., H4H14639D) was assessed in both SNU5 and the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line EBC-1, which it also displays the amplified Met gene and overexpresses MET (Lutterbach et al., Cancer Res. 67(5):2081-2088, 2007). Complete growth medium for EBC-1 cells contained Earle's salts of MEM, 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin / streptomycin / glutamine, and non-essential amino acids for MEM. H4H14369D exhibited the highest percent inhibition in MET activity according to the SRE-Luciferase reading. In the current experiment, 3.0 x 103 SNU5 or EBC-1 cells were seeded in complete growth medium in the presence of H4H14639D at concentrations ranging from 15 pM to 100 nM. Cells were incubated for 3 days at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Cells were then fixed in 4% formaldehyde and stained with 3 pg / mL Hoechst 33342 to label nuclei. Images were acquired on IMAGEXPRESS® Micro XL (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) and nuclear counts were determined using METAXPRESS® image analysis software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). Nuclear background counts from cells treated with 40 nM digitonin were subtracted from all wells and viability was expressed as a percentage of untreated controls. IC50 values ​​were determined from a four-parameter logistic equation on a 10-point response curve (GRAPHPAD PRISM®). IC50 values ​​and percent cell death are shown in Table 9.

Cell growth was determined after 5 days by reduction in ALAMARBLUE® reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). The MET x MET bispecific antibody significantly reduced the relative cell growth of SNU5 cells compared to control and monovalent antibody (Figure 6A). Likewise, the effect of the MET x MET bispecific antibody on the growth of EBC-1 cells was evaluated. 2,500 EBC-1 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and cultured in Dulbecco's medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were treated with a control antibody or a MET x MET bispecific antibody at 0.1 pg / mL or 1 pg / mL, and subsequently incubated with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. After 5 days, relative cell growth was determined by measuring the reduction of the ALAMARBLUE ® reporter dye to its highly fluorescent form on a SPECTRAMAX ® M3 Plate Reader (Molecular Devices, LLC, Sunnyvale, CA). The results are shown in Table 11 and Figure 6B. The MET x MET bispecific antibody (H4H14639D) significantly reduced the relative cell growth of EBC-1 cells compared to the control antibody (Figure 6B). Several anti-MET antibodies, both monospecific bivalent and MET x MET bivalent, are potent inhibitors of SRE-Luc activation and inhibit the growth of Met-amplifying and MET-overexpressing cell lines.

A MET x MET Bispecific Antibody Induces Modest and Transient MET Pathway Activity in NCI-H596 NSCLC Cells The effect of a MET x MET bispecific antibody on the MET pathway in human lung adenosquamous carcinoma cells was evaluated in vitro. 250,000 NCI-H596 cells were seeded in a 12-well plate and cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were treated with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) at 50 ng / mL or the MET x MET bispecific antibody H4H14639D at 10 pg / mL in duplicate. Subsequently, the cells were incubated in 5% CO2 at 37 °C. After 0, 2, 6, or 18 hours, cell counts were prepared, protein content normalized, and immunoblot analysis performed. MET phosphorylation and ERK phosphorylation were quantified with the ImageJ imaging program (T. Collins, BioTechniques 43: S25-S30, 2007). Phosphorylation levels were normalized relative to tubulin loading control and expressed as fold change relative to control treatment. The results are summarized in Table 12.

A MET x MET bispecific antibody induces MET degradation and inhibits pathway activity more potently than monospecific antibodies in Hs746T gastric cancer cells The effect of a MET x MET bispecific antibody on the MET activity of human gastric carcinoma cells was evaluated in vitro. 250,000 Hs746T human gastric carcinoma cells (H. Smith, J. Nati. Cancer Inst. 62(2): 225-230, 1979) were seeded in a 12-well plate and cultured in modified Dulbecco's medium supplemented with FBS at 10%. Cells were treated with (1) 5 pg / mL of the hFc control molecule, (2) 5 pg / mL of the parental bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibody H4H13306P2, (3) 5 pg / mL of the monospecific anti-MET antibody. parental bivalent H4H13312P2, (4) the combination of 2.5 pg / mL H4H13306P2 and 2.5 pg / mL H4H13312P2, or (5) 5 pg / mL MET x MET bispecific antibody H4H14639D. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. After 18 hours, cell counts were prepared, protein content normalized, and immunoblot analysis performed. MET expression, MET phosphorylation, and ERK phosphorylation were quantified with the ImageJ imaging program (T. Collins, BioTechniques 43: S2586 S30, 2007). The results are summarized in Table 13 and Figure 7A, which represents the crude immunoblot data. Figure 7B depicts the expression of MET protein in cells that were treated with MET x MET bispecific antibody at 10 pg / mL for 0, 2, or 6 hours. Total MET levels in Hs747T cells decreased over time following treatment with the MET x MET bispecific antibody. Similar results were obtained for the MET-amplified human papillary adenocarcinoma cell line NCI-H820 (Bean et al., MET amplification occurs with or without T790M mutations in EGFR mutant lung tumors with acquired resistance to getfitnib or erlotinib,, Proc. Nati. Acad Sci. 2007 Dec 26, 104(52):20932-20937).

Both MET and ERK phosphorylation were more effectively inhibited by treatment with H4H14636D than by the parental antibodies or the combination of the parental antibodies. Hs746T gastric cancer cells were treated with control antibody, MET x MET bispecific antibody H4H14639D, anti-MET parental antibody H4H13306P2, anti-MET parental antibody H4H13312P2, and parental antibody combination 1 and 2, each antibody at 10 pg / mL or the combination of parental antibodies at 5 pg / mL each, for 18 hours. MET expression (MET) and pathway activation (pMET and pErk) were determined by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies (Figure 8). The MET x MET bispecific antibody inhibits the activation of the MET pathway more effectively than its parent antibodies in Hs746T gastric cancer cells. Example 11. A MET x MET bispecific antibody induces MET degradation with greater potency than monospecific antibodies in NCI-H596 lung cancer cells The effect of a MET x MET bispecific antibody and the parental bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibodies on hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR or MET) expression levels in human lung adenosquamous carcinoma cells was evaluated. 250,000 NCI-H596 human lung adenosquamous carcinoma cells were seeded in a 12-well plate and cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were treated with (1) 5 pg / mL of the hFc control molecule, (2) 5 pg / mL of the parental bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibody H4H13306P2, (3) 5 pg / mL of the monospecific anti-MET antibody. parental bivalent H4H13312P2, (4) the combination of 2.5 pg / mL H4H13306P2 and 2.5 pg / mL H4H13312P2, or (5) 5 pg / mL MET x MET bispecific antibody H4H14639D. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. After 18 hours, cell counts were prepared, protein content normalized, and immunoblot analysis performed. MET expression was quantified with the ImageJ image processing program (T. Collins, BioTechniques 43: S25-S30, 2007). The results are summarized in Table 14.

MET expression was determined by immunoblotting (Figure 9), which shows MET degradation induced by MET x MET bispecific antibodies with increasing treatment time. The bispecific antibody, H4H14636D, induces MET degradation more potently than its parental conventional antibodies in NCI-H596 lung cancer cells. Example 12. MET x MET Bispecific Antibodies Induce MET Degradation and Inhibit Pathway Activity More Potently Than Monospecific Antibodies in SNU5 Gastric Cancer Cells The effect of a bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibody and several MET x MET bispecific antibodies on hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR or MET) expression levels in gastric carcinoma cells was evaluated. Human gastric carcinoma SNU5 cells were seeded in Iscove medium containing 20% ​​FBS plus penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine. 24 hours after seeding, cells were treated with control hFc, the parental anti-MET bivalent monospecific antibody H4H13312P2, or the MET x MET bispecific antibodies (H4H14634D, H4H14635D, H4H14636D, H4H14637D, H4H14638D, H4H14639D, H4H 14640D, H4H14641D) for 18 h. Cellular cells were then prepared and analyzed by Western blotting. Western blots were probed for MET and tubulin. The expression level of the MET protein was quantified and normalized relative to the tubulin loading control. The results are presented in Table 15 and Figure 10B.

MET expression (Figure 10A and 10B) and pathway activation (ie, pMET and pERK; Figure 10A) were determined by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. Immunoblots are shown in Figures 10A and 10B. Treatment of SNU5 cells with MET x MET bispecific antibodies induced more potent MET degradation than treatment with bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibody (H4H13312P2) (Figure 10B), monovalent MET antibody, or control hFc. Treatment of SNU5 cells with the MET x MET bispecific antibody inhibited the downstream effectors of the MET pathway. Similar results were obtained for the MET-amplified non-small cell lung cancer adenocarcinoma cell line NCI-H1993 (Kubo et al., “MET gene amplification or EGFR mutation activate MET in lung cancers untreated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors,” Int J. Cancer 2009 Apr 15;124(8):17781784). Example 13. A MET x MET bispecific antibody induces MET degradation, inhibits pathway activity, and inhibits tumor growth more potently than monospecific antibodies in EBC-1 cells MET-amplified human lung squamous cell carcinoma EBC-1 cells (Lutterbach et al., “Lung cancer cell lines harboring MET gene amplification are dependent on Metforgrowth and survival,” Cancer Res. 2007 Mar 1;67(5):2081 -8) were treated with a control antibody or 10 pg / mL of a MET x MET bispecific antibody for 18 h as described above. MET expression and MET pathway activation determined by pMET and pErk expression were determined by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. Western blots are shown in Figure 11. Treatment of EBC-1 cells, harboring amplification of the MET gene, with MET x MET bispecific antibodies induced more potent degradation of MET than treatment with the control antibody. Treatment of EBC-1 cells with the MET x MET bispecific antibody inhibited the d effectors of the MET pathway. In another experiment, 5 million EBC-1 cells were implanted subcutaneously in the flank of CB-17 SCID mice. Once tumor volumes reached approximately 150 mm3, mice were randomized into groups of 6 and treated twice weekly with either a control antibody at 25 mg / kg or the MET x MET H4H14639D bispecific antibody at 25 mg / kg. Tumor growth was monitored for 30 days after implantation and tumor volume (mm 3 ) was measured for each experimental group over time. The results are shown in Table 16 and Figure 12, which show that the MET x MET bispecific antibody significantly inhibits the growth of EBC-1 tumors.

Smith, J. Nat'l. Cancer Inst. 62(2): 225-230, 1979) were seeded in a 96-well plate and cultured in modified Dulbecco's medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were treated with (1) single bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibodies (H4H13306P2 or H4H13312P2) at 5 pg / mL, (2) a combination of the two parental bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibodies (H4H13306P2 and H4H13312P2) at 2.5 pg / mL. mL each, or (3) the bispecific antibody containing one arm binding to H4H13306P2 and the other arm binding to H4H13312P2 (H4H14639D) at 5 pg / mL. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with 5% CO2 at 37 °C. After 5 days, relative cell growth was determined by measuring the reduction of the reporter dye, ALAMAR BLUE® (ThermoFischer Scientific, Waltham, MA), to its highly fluorescent form on an M3SPECTRAMAX® plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). . The increase in fluorescence correlates with cell growth. Table 17 represents relative Hs746T cell growth for each antibody treatment normalized to control Hs746T cell growth (no treatment). The bispecific antibody, H4H14639D, inhibits Hs746T cell proliferation more potently than its parent monospecific antibodies individually or in combination.

Cell growth was determined after 5 days by reduction of the ALAMAR BLUE® reagent (Figure 13A). The MET x MET bispecific antibody inhibited cell growth relative to parental antibodies alone or in combination, and inhibited MET pathway activation more effectively than its parent antibodies in Hs746T gastric cancer cells. Hs746T gastric cancer cells in 96-well plates were treated with 25 pg / mL control antibody, 1 pg / mL, 10 pg / mL, or 25 pg / mL monovalent MET antibody, or 1 pg / mL, 10 pg / mL. mL or 25 pg / mL MET x MET bispecific antibody.

A MET x MET bispecific antibody does not induce the growth of NCI-H596 lung cancer cells in vitro The effect of a MET x MET bispecific antibody on the growth of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells (NCI-H596) was evaluated in vitro. 10,000 NCI-H596 lung adenosquamous carcinoma cells (Nair et al., J. Nat'l. Cancer Inst. 86(5): 378383, 1994) were seeded in 96-well plates on a 0.66% agar layer in medium supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were grown in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 1% FBS with 0.3% agarose. Cells were treated with (1) individual parental bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibodies (H4H13306P2 or H4H13312P2) at 5 pg / mL, (2) a combination of the two parental bivalent monospecific anti-MET antibodies (H4H13306P2 and H4H13312P2) at 2.5 pg / mL each, (3) a bispecific antibody containing one binding arm of H4H13306P2 and the other binding arm of H4H13312P2 (H4H14639D) at 5 pg / mL, or (4) 100 ng / mL hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Subsequently, the cells were incubated with COaal 5% at 37 °C. After two weeks, relative cell growth was determined by measuring the reduction of the reporter dye, ALAMAR BLUE® (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Waltham, MA), to its highly fluorescent form on an M3 plate reader. SPECTRAMAX® (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). The increase in fluorescence correlates with cell growth. Table 18 and Figure 14 depict the relative growth of NCI-H596 cells for each antibody treatment standardized to control NCI-H596 cell growth (no treatment). Treatment of NCI-H596 lung cancer cells with HGF resulted in a potent induction of growth in soft agar. The MET x MET bispecific antibody (MM in Figure 14) H4H14639D did not significantly alter growth relative to control treated cells. A modest induction of cell growth was observed with each parental bivalent monospecific antibody H4H13306P2 (M1) or H4H13312P2 (M2) individually, or in combination (H4H13306P2 and H4H13312P2) (M1M2).

A MET x MET bispecific antibody induces the regression of the Hs746T tumor xenograft The effect of a MET x MET bispecific antibody on a human gastric carcinoma tumor was evaluated in an immunocompromised mouse model. Three million Hs746T human gastric carcinoma cells were implanted subcutaneously in the flank of CB-17 SCID mice (Bancroft et al., J. ImmunoL 137(1):4-9,1986). Once tumor volumes reached approximately 200 mm3, mice were randomized into groups of six and treated twice weekly with either a control antibody at 25 mg / kg or a MET x MET (H4H14639D) bispecific antibody at 25 mg. / kg. Tumor growth was monitored for 16 days post-implantation for the control group, when control-treated tumors reached protocol size limits. Tumor growth was monitored for 30 days after implantation for the H4H14639-treated group. Treatment of tumors with the MET x MET bispecific antibody induced regression of tumor size over 21 days relative to the start of treatment. Control-treated tumors showed a mean increase in volume of approximately 12-fold during 16 days of growth (Table 20). Tumor volume over time, showing Hs746T tumor regression due to MET x MET bispecific antibody, is shown in Figure 15.

A MET x MET bispecific antibody induces regression of the tumor xenograft SNU5 The effect of a MET x MET bispecific antibody on a human gastric carcinoma tumor was evaluated in an immunocompromised mouse model. Ten million SNU5 human gastric carcinoma cells were implanted subcutaneously in the flank of CB-17 SCID mice. Once tumor volumes reached approximately 500 mm3, mice were randomized into groups of five and treated twice weekly with either a control antibody at 10 mg / kg or a MET x MET (H4H14639D) bispecific antibody at 1 mg. / kg or 10mg / kg. Tumor growth was monitored for 81 days after implantation when control-treated tumors reached protocol size limits. Tumors from mice treated with 1 mg / kg or 10 mg / kg of the MET x MET antibody demonstrated a mean reduction in size of approximately 95% or 98%, respectively.

Potent and sustained regression of MET-amplified SNU5 tumors (ie, reduction in tumor volume) was observed over time in mice treated with MET x MET bispecific antibody (Figure 16A). Protein was extracted from the tumors at the end of the study and MET expression and activation of the pathway indicated by MET phosphorylation (pMET expression) were determined by immunoblotting. MET x MET (tumors) treated mice showed reduced expression of MET and pMET relative to controls (Figure 16B). The MET x MET bispecific antibody is a potent inhibitor of tumors harboring MET amplification. Example 19.

U87-MG glioblastoma xenograft models are driven by autocrine signaling from HGF. Once tumor volumes reached approximately 100 mm3, mice were randomized into groups of six and treated with either a control antibody or the MET x MET bispecific antibody (H4H14639D). 25 mg / kg of antibody (control or MET x MET) was administered to each mouse twice a week. Tumor growth was monitored for 29 days after implantation when control-treated tumors reached protocol size limits. Tumors from mice treated with the MET x MET antibody demonstrated a mean reduction in size of approximately 38%, while control-treated tumors showed a mean increase in volume of approximately 19-fold over 29 days of growth (Table 22).

ΜΛ / I / UOO4OO DM1 was synthesized as a single diastereomer based on the procedures described in WO 2015 / 031396 (eg, Example 2, paragraph

[00106] ), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Example 22. Conjugation of antibodies and characterization of conjugates antibody conjugation Antibodies (H4H14639D, H4H13312P, H4H14635D, and isotype control; 10-20 mg / mL) were conjugated in 50 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCI, pH 8.0 and 10-15% (v / v) DMA with an excess of 5 -6 times of SMCC-DM1 diastereoisomer prepared as described in Example 21 (Maitansinoid A) or maytansin3-N-methyl-L-alanine-N-Me-beta-alanine-carbamyl-(p-amino)benzyl-citrulline- valine-adipoyl-succinate (Compound 1, Figure 20) (Maitansinoid B) for 2 hours at room temperature. Conjugates were purified by size exclusion chromatography or extensive ultrafiltration and filter sterilized. Protein concentrations were determined by UV spectral analysis. Size exclusion HPLC established that all conjugates used were >90% monomeric, and RP-HPLC established that there was <1% unconjugated linker payload. All conjugated antibodies were analyzed by UV for linker payload values ​​according to Hamblett et al. (American Association for Cancer Research. 2004 Oct 15; 10(20): 7063-70) and / or by difference in mass, native vs. conjugated. The ratios of payload to antibodies are indicated in Table 24.

For the assay, 50 pg of the conjugate was diluted with milli-Q water to a final concentration of 1 mg / mL. Ten pL of PNGase F solution [PNGase F solution was prepared by adding 150 pL of PNGase F stock (New England Biolabs, Cat # P0704L) and 850 pL of milli-Q water and mixed well] was added to the conjugate solution. diluted and then incubated at 37°C overnight. Injections of 5 pL of each sample were made in LC-MS (Waters Synat G2-SI) and eluted with 0.1 mL / minute of a 20-40% gradient mobile phase for 25 minutes (Mobile Phase A: 0.1% v / v FA in H2O; Mobile Phase B: 0.1% v / v FA in acetonitrile). LC separation was achieved on a Waters Acquity BEH C4 column (1.0 X 50 mM, 1.7 pM) at 80SC. Mass spectrometry spectra were deconvoluted using Masslynx software and the drug to antibody ratio (DAR) was calculated using the following equations: 1. Relative percentage (%) of drug (Dn) by peak distribution intensity (Pl): Dn % = ΡΙη / Σ(ΡΙ0+ΡΙ1+ΡΙ2.......+Pli)x100 (n = 0, 1,2,3,...,i) 2.

Binding Affinities Derived from Surface Plasmon Resonance and Kinetic Constants of Conjugated Human Anti-MET Monoclonal Antibodies (monospecific and bispecific) Equilibrium dissociation constants (Kd values) were determined for MET binding to anti-MET antibodies conjugated to MCC-DM1 diastereomer (maytansinoid A) or maytansin-3-N-methyl-Lalan¡ne-N-Me-beta. -alanine-carbamyl(p-am¡no)benz¡lo-citrullina-va¡na-ad¡po¡l-succinate (Compound 1, Figure 20) (maytansinoid B) by using an assay of real-time surface plasmon resonance biosensor on a Biacore 2000 instrument. The Biacore sensor surface was derivatized by amine coupling with a mouse monoclonal anti-human Fe antibody (GE Healthcare, #BR-100839) to capture anti-MET ADC antibodies and parental unmodified antibodies expressed with human constant regions. All Biacore binding studies were performed in HEPES-buffered saline (HBS)-EP running buffer (0.01 M HEPES pH 7.4, 0.15 M NaCl, 3 mM EDTA 0.05% v / v P20 surfactant). Human MET was prepared in-house by expressing a C-terminal myc-mychexahistidine tag (hMET-mmh). Different concentrations (3-fold dilutions) of hMET-mmh (ranging from 30 nM to 1.1 nM) prepared in HBS-EP running buffer were injected onto the captured surface of antibody or anti-MET ADC at a flow rate of 40 pL / min. . The association of hMETmmh with each of the captured ADCs and monoclonal antibodies was monitored for 4 minutes. Subsequently, hMET-mmh dissociation was monitored for 6 min in HBSEP running buffer. The anti-human Fc surface was regenerated by a brief injection of 20 mM H3PO4. All binding kinetics experiments were performed at 25 °C. Kinetic association (ka) and dissociation (ka) rate constants were determined by fitting real-time sensorgrams to a 1:1 binding model using Scrubber 2.0c curve-fitting software. All sensorgrams were double referenced by subtracting the signal of the buffer injection sensorgram from the corresponding analyte sensorgram, thus eliminating artifacts caused by antibody dissociation from the capture surface. The ΜΛ / t / ZUZ I / UOÓ4OÓ 100 binding dissociation equilibrium constants (Kd) and dissociative half-life (1½) were calculated from the kinetic rate constants as: Ko(M) = ^yr / 2(min)=^ Binding kinetic parameters for maytansinoid A or maytansinoid B conjugated anti-Met monospecific and bispecific antibodies are shown below in Table 25, with some experiments performed in duplicate.

Cell lines EBC-1 (Riken Cell Bank; #RBRC-RCB1965), MKN-45 (JCRB; #JCRB0254), NCI-H1993 (ATCC; #CRL5909), and J.RT3 (ATCC; #TIB-153) were maintained. in RPMI + 10% FBS + 1X penicillin / streptomycin / L-glutamine (P / S / G), SNU-5 (ATCC; # CRL-5973) were maintained in Iscove + 10% FBS + 1X P / S / G, Hs746t (ATCC; #HTB-135) and HEK293 (ATCC; #003041) were maintained in DME + 10% FBS + 1X P / S / G, MDA101 MB-231 (ATCC; # ΗΤΒ-26) were maintained in Liebowitz's L-15 + 10% FBS + 1X P / S / G + 1X non-essential amino acids (NEAAs) without CO2, U87MG (ATCC; # HTB- 14) were maintained in MEM Earle's Salts + 15% FBS + 1X P / S / G + 1X NEAA, T47D (ATCC; #HTB-133) were maintained in RPM1 1640 + 10% FBS + 1X P / S / G + 10 mM HEPES + 1 mM sodium pyruvate + 10 pg / mL bovine insulin and A549 (ATCC; #CCL-185) were maintained in Kaighn's F-12 nutrient mix (HAM's F-12K) + FBS at 10% + 1X P / S / G. Initially, the relative binding of anti-MET antibodies was assessed with unconjugated H4H14635D, H4H14639D and H4H13312P2 antibodies across the panel of cell lines by flow cytometry. Briefly, 1x106 cells were incubated with 10 pg / mL of H4H14635D, H4H14639D, H4H13312P2 or an isotype control antibody (REGN1945) for 30 min on ice in PBS + 2% FBS (FACS buffer). After a FACS buffer wash, cells were incubated with 10 pg / mL Alexa647-conjugated anti-human secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #109-606-170) for 30 min on ice. After additional washing with FACS buffer, samples were fixed with Cytofix (BD Biosciences, #554655), filtered with FACS buffer, and processed on an IQue flow cytometer (Intelicyte). Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) data were determined using the FlowJo software (FlowJo LLC). FACS binding is expressed as times MFI binding above isotype control levels and the results are summarized in Table 26. The relative binding of the three anti-Met antibodies was comparable in each cell line and varied from 447-fold to 7-fold above isotype controls. No detectable binding of any of the 3 anti-MET antibodies tested was observed in T47D, HEK293 or J.RT3 cells. To measure the in vitro cytotoxicity of the anti-MET ADCs, nuclear counts were assessed after a 3- or 6-day treatment with the ADCs. Briefly, cells were seeded in collagen-coated 96-well plates (Greiner, VWR; #82050-812) at 750-3000 cells / well in complete growth medium and grown overnight at 37°C, in 5% CO2. %. For cell viability curves, serially diluted ADCs, unconjugated antibodies, or free payloads were added to cells at final concentrations ranging from 100 nM to 0.01 nM (depending on toxin concentration) and incubated for 3 or 6 days. at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Cells were subsequently treated with Hoechst 33342 nuclear stain at 3 pg / mL (Invitrogen, #H3570) while fixing with 4% formaldehyde. Images were acquired on ImageXpress micro XL (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) and nuclear counts were determined using MetaXpress image analysis software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). Nuclear background counts from cells treated with 40 nM digitonin were subtracted from all wells and viability was expressed as a percentage of untreated controls. ICsose values ​​were determined from a four-parameter logistic equation on a 10-point response curve (GraphPad Prism). The untreated condition for each dose-response curve is also included in the analysis and is represented as the lowest dose. The IC50 values ​​and the percentage of cell death are shown in Tables 27 and 28. As summarized in Table 27, the anti-MET antibody drug conjugate H4H14639Dmaytansinoid A specifically reduced cell viability in the EBC-1, SNU-5, MKNΜΛΖ t / ZUZ IZUO0400 cell backgrounds. 102 45, NCI-H1993, and Met-amplified Hs746t with IC50 values ​​ranging from 0.35 nM to 0.96 nM. The percentage of dead cells (maximum % kill) ranged from 73% to 100%. H4H14639DMaitansinoid A also specifically killed 84% of A549 cells with IC50 values ​​of 13.91 nM. The ICsode H4H14639D-Maitansinoid A values ​​were higher than 37 nM in cell lines with low expression (MDA-MB-231 and U87MG) and without expression (T47D, HEK293 and J.RT3). The similarly conjugated isotype control antibody killed all cell lines with IC50 values ​​greater than 35 nM. The methyl disulfide version of DM1 (MeS-DM1) killed all lines tested with IC50 values ​​ranging from 0.07 nM to 2.86 nM. In a separate experiment, three anti-Met antibodies (H4H14639D, H4H14635D, and H4H13312P2) were conjugated to maytansinoid, maytansinoid A, or maytansinoid B payloads, and in vitro cytotoxicity was assessed in EBC-1, Hs746t, A549, and T47D cells. after 6 days of treatment. As summarized in Table 28, all anti-Met antibody-drug conjugates potently and specifically reduced cell viability in Met-positive cells, with IC50 values ​​as low as 10 pM in EBC-1 cells, 0.82 nM in Hs746t cells. and 3.5 nM in A549 cells. The percentage of dead cells was greater than 95% in EBC-1 cells, greater than 86% in Hs746t cells, and greater than 72% in A549 cells. T47D (Met-negative) cells were not specifically killed by anti-Met ADCs. Isotype control antibodies similarly conjugated reduced cell viability in all cell lines tested with IC50 values ​​greater than 5 nM in EBC-1 cells, greater than 33 nM in Hs746t cells, and greater than 90 nM in A549 cells and T47D. Unconjugated H4H14639D reduced cell viability in EBC-1, Hs746t, and A549 cells, but to a lesser extent than conjugated antibodies. Unconjugated H4H14635D and H4H13312P2 had little or no impact on viability in any of the cell lines tested. The methyl disulfide version of DM1 (MeS-DM1) killed all lines tested with IC50 values ​​ranging from 0.12 nM to 1.39 nM. In contrast, M24 (the released payload of maytansinoid B) killed cells with IC50 >100 nM. Table 26: FACS binding of unconjugated MET antibodies to tumor cell lines.

Once tumor volumes reached approximately 150 mm3, mice were randomized into groups of 6 and treated with control antibodies REGN1945-maltansinoid B or REGN1945-maytansinoid A at 10 mg / kg or with H4H14639D-maytansinoid A or H4H14639Dmaytansinoid B at 3 or 10 mg / kg. All antibodies were administered three times with a frequency of once a week. Tumor growth was monitored for 37 days after implantation. 105 The effect of H4H14639D-maytansinoid A or H4H14639D-maytansinoid B on the growth of human tumor xenografts in immunosuppressed mice was evaluated, and the results are shown in Table 29. Tumors treated with the control antibodies, REGN1945-maytansinoid B or REGN1945-maytansinoid A, grew to reach protocol size limits in 20 days.

(.mmh,), hereinafter referred to as hMet) with which the anti-Met antibodies H4H13312P2, H4H13306P2 and H4H14639D interact. H4H13312P2 and H4H13306P2 are bivalent monospecific anti-Met antibodies; H4H14639D is a bispecific antibody comprising two heavy chains that bind to different epitopes on Met, each from H4H13312P2 and H4H13306P2, respectively, and a universal light chain. (See example 5). Hydrogen / deuterium exchange (H / D) epitope mapping with mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) was used to determine the binding epitopes of the aforementioned antibodies. A general description of the HDX method is set out in, for example, Ehring (1999) Analytical Biochemistry 267(2):252-259; and Engen and Smith (2001) Anal. Chem. 73:256A-265A. experimental procedure To map the binding epitope(s) of anti-Met antibodies H4H13312P2, H4H13306P2, and H4H14639D on hMET via HDX, individual antibodies were covalently attached to separate NHS-activated Sepharose 4 fast flow beads (GE Healthcare, Pittsburgh , PA). Both antigen and complex methods were used, as described below, to confirm the binding epitopes of the anti-Met antibodies. In the 'on antigen' experimental condition, hMET was deuterated for 5.0 min or 10.0 min in PBS buffer prepared with D2O. Deuterated antigen was bound to either H4H13312P2 or H4H13306P2 antibody beads through a brief incubation, and then eluted from the beads with ice-cold low pH quenching buffer. The eluted sample was manually loaded onto a Waters H / DX-MS system consisting of integrated online peptide digestion, capture, 9.0 min liquid chromatography (LC) separation, and Synapt G2-YES MS data acquisition. In the 'in complex' experimental condition, hMET was first bound to H4H13312P2 or H4H13306P2 beads and then deuterated for 5.0 min or 10.0 min via incubation in PBS buffer prepared with D2O. Deuterated hMET was eluted and analyzed by Waters H / DX-MS system as mentioned above. For identification of hMET peptic peptides, LC-MSE data from the undeuterated sample was processed and searched against human MET using Waters ProteinLynx Global Server (PLGS) software. Identified peptides were imported into DynamX 3.0 software and filtered based on the following two criteria: 1) minimum products per amino acid are 0.3; 2) The replication file threshold is 3.0. Subsequently, DynamX 3.0 software automatically calculated the deuterium uptake difference of each identified peptide between antigen and complex at 5 min and 10 min deuterium time points. The individual isotopic peak of each peptide collected by the DynamX software for the centroid value calculation was also examined manually to ensure the accuracy of the deuterium absorption calculation. M A / E / ZUZ I / UOO4OO 108 In general, delta values ​​for deuteration above 0.2 were used as the cutoff to determine a specific binding epitope. Results Using on-line pepsin digestion through the Waters Enzymate™ BEH pepsin column (2.1 x 30 mm, 5 pm) in conjunction with 9.0 minute LC-MSE data acquisition, a total of 162 human MET peptic peptides with traceable deuterium uptake for 'in antigen' and 'in complex' experiments when H4H13312P2 antibody beads were used. These peptides represent a sequence coverage of 55.7%. Among all these peptides, only five were found to have significantly reduced deuteration uptake upon binding to H4H13312P2 (in complex) compared to antigen deuteration alone (in antigen). The centroid values ​​of these five peptides in both experimental conditions are illustrated in Table 32. The region corresponding to residues 192-204 covered by these five peptides was defined as the binding epitope for the H4H13312P2 antibody based on data from HDX.

These 98 peptides represent a sequence coverage of 52.1%. Among all these peptides, twelve were observed to have significantly reduced deuteration uptake upon binding to H4H13306P2 (in complex) compared to deuteration of the antigen alone (in antigen). The centroid values ​​of these twelve peptides in both experimental conditions were illustrated in Table 33. The regions corresponding to SOSSIS residues and residues 421-455 covered by these peptides were defined as the binding epitope for antibody H4H13306P2 based on the HDX data.

The binding epitopes of H4H14639D in hMET, determined by this methodology, correspond to the epitopes determined for the parental antibodies. Anti-Met H4H13312P2 antibody binding epitope: AA 192-204: VRRLKETKDGFMF (SEQ ID NO: 156) of SEQ ID NO: 155. Anti-Met H4H13306P2 antibody binding epitope: AA 305-315: LARQIGASLND (SEQ ID NO: 157) of SEQ ID NO: 155 and AA 421-455: FIKGDLTIANLGTSEGRFMQVVVSRSGPSTPHVNF (SEQ ID NO: 158) of SEQ ID NO: 155. Example 29: Inhibition of Cell Proliferation and Cell Viability by MET x MET Bispecific Antibody ADC in Uveal Melanoma Cell Lines The bispecific c-Met antibody H4H14639D conjugated to one of the two maytansinoid payloads and designated H4H14639D-maytans¡no¡de A and H4H14639D-maytansinoid B was tested in uveal melanoma cell lines to determine effects on cell proliferation and growth. Cell viability in relation to c-Met expression in cell lines. In a first experiment, uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met, OMM1.3, Mel202, Mel270, and MP65 were seeded overnight in 96-well plates at 1,000 cells per well in RPMI with 10% FBS and were They were incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Cells were treated for seven days with increasing doses of REGN1945, REGN1945-maytansinoid A, REGN1945-maytansinoid B, H4H14639D, H4H14639D-MAYTANSINOID A, and H4H14639D-maytansinoid B from 0.01 nM to 100 nM. After 7 days, relative cell viability was determined by measuring the reduction of WST-8 in the colorimetric assay, Dojindo Cell Counting Kit 8, using the Emax Plus Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices). In a second experiment, uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met, OMM1.3, as well as c-Met-negative OCM3 cells, were seeded overnight in 96-well plates at 1,000 cells per well in RPMI with 10% FBS and incubated at 37 °C with COaalS%. Cells were treated with increasing doses of REGN1945, REGN1945-maytansinoid B, H4H14639D, and H4H14639D-maytansinoid B from 0.3125 nM to 10 nM. After 7 days, relative cell viability was determined by measuring the reduction of WST-8 in the colorimetric assay, Dojindo Cell Counting Kit 8, using the Emax Plus Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices). Tables 34-38 and Figures 21A to 21D and 22A to 22B show that the bispecific c-Met antibody 110 conjugated to a maytansinoid payload, H4H14639D-maytansin¡de B, reduces the viability of uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met protein relative to control treatments. H4H14639D-maytansinoid B had no effect on the viability of the c-Met negative cell line. Figures 21A to 21D, on a logarithmic scale, depict the impact on cell viability at lower ADC concentrations. Data for H4H14639D-Maitansinoid A is also shown in Figures 21A to 21D. The unconjugated antibody H4H14639D did not significantly reduce the viability of c-Met-expressing uveal melanoma cells, indicating that these cells do not depend on Met signaling for survival. Figure 33 shows data from a third experiment in which thirteen cell lines were treated with increasing doses of REGN1945, REGN1945-maytansinoid B, H4H14639D and H4H14639D-maytansinoid B for 3 days. H4H14639D-maytansinoid B decreases the viability of MET-expressing uveal melanoma cell lines in a dose-dependent manner with an IC50 of less than 1 nM.

Cells were treated with REGN1945 (isotype control antibody) at 1.25, 2.5 nM or 10 nM, REGN1945-maytansinoid A, H4H14639D or H4H14639D-maytansinoid B for 48 hours. Cells were then harvested with trypsin, washed with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature, and stained with DAPI overnight at 4 °C. Cells were plated on a microscope slide and sealed with Cytoseal 40. Apoptotic cells were quantified under a microscope with ultraviolet light to excite DAPI fluorescence. The c-Met bispecific antibody conjugated to a maytansinoid payload, H4H14639Dmaytansinoid B, significantly induced apoptosis of uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met protein in a dose-dependent manner (see Tables 39 and 40) in relation to the control treatments and c-Met negative cell line (see Table 41).

Cells were then stained with 500 pg / mL propidium iodide and incubated overnight at 4SC. The cells were then passed through a cell filter before passage through the BD Bioscience LSR II flow cytometer. Data was analyzed using FCS Express 6 by De Novo software. The bispecific c-Met antibody conjugated to a maytansinoid payload, H4H14639Dmaytansinoid B, significantly induced mitotic arrest in OMM1.3 and Mel202 cells (Figures 25 and 26, respectively) after 6-24 hours of treatment, but did not induce mitotic arrest. in OCM3 cells (Figure 27). There was an increase in the SubG1 population in cells expressing c-Met treated with H4H14639D-maytansino¡de B between 24-48 hours, indicating the induction of apoptosis, but no increase in the SubG1 population was observed in c-Met cells.

Cell lines with variable levels of c-Met expression include SNU-5, a gastric carcinoma cell line, A549, a lung carcinoma cell line, as well as uveal melanoma cell lines, Mel290, 92.1, OMM1. 3, OMM1, Mel285, Mel202, Mel270, OCM1A, OCM3, MP41, MP65, MP46 and UM004, were seeded in 60 mm3 plates at 1,000,000 cells per plate in RPMI with 10% FBS and incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Cells were then harvested with trypsin, washed with PBS and used with RIPA buffer. Protein uses were run on 4-12% Novex 20-well midi gels (Invitrogen) and then transferred to a PVDF membrane. The membrane was then blocked in 5% skimmed milk powder, incubated in primary antibodies against c-Met (Cell Signaling) and tubulin (Cell Signaling) overnight on a shaker at 4 °C, washed with TBST, incubated in appropriate secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare) conjugated to HRP and washed with TBST. ECL HRP substrate was added to the membrane and the fluorescence image was taken using a Fujifilm XA-2 camera. Results Uveal melanoma cell lines are commonly identified by mutations in G proteins such as GNAQ or GNA11, but they also exhibit differential expression of c-Met. As shown in Figure 28, each of the uveal melanoma cell lines expresses the c-Met receptor at some level, except for the OCM1A and OCM3 cell lines, which turn out to be BRAF'600E mutant cells. SNU-5 is a positive control gastric carcinoma cell line known to express c-Met highly, while A549 is a lung carcinoma cell line also expressing c-Met. Example 33: MET x MET Bispecific Antibody ADC Induces PARP Cleavage and Histone H3 Phosphorylation Western blot analyzes were performed to assess c-Met protein levels, PARP cleavage, and histone H3 phosphorylation in various uveal melanoma cell lines after H4H14639D-maytansinoid B treatment. Uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met, OMM1.3 and Mel202, as well as the c-Met-negative cell line, OCM3, were plated overnight in 60 mm3 plates at 800,000 cells per plate in RPMI with FBS at 10% and incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Cells were either untreated or treated with increasing doses of REGN1945-maytansinoid B, H4H14639D and H4H14639D-maytansinoid B from 0.5 to 10 nM for 24 hours. Cells were then harvested with trypsin, washed with PBS and used with RIPA buffer. Protein uses were run on 4-12% Novex 20-well midi gels (Invitrogen) and then transferred to a PVDF membrane. The membrane was then blocked in 5% skimmed milk powder, incubated in primary antibodies against PARP (Cell Signaling), phosphorylated histone H3 (Cell Signaling), and tubulin (Cell Signaling) overnight on a shaker at 4 °C. , washed with TBST, incubated in the appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare) and washed with TBST. ECL HRP substrate was added to the membrane and fluorescence image was taken using the ΜΛ / I 7UOO4OO 118 using a Fujifilm XA-2 camera. In another experiment, uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met, OMM1.3, as well as a c-Met-negative cell line, OCM3, were plated overnight in 60 mm3 plates at 800,000 cells per plate in RPMI with 10% FBS and incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO salt. However, in this experiment, cells were either untreated or treated with 10 nM REGN1945-maytansinoid B, H4H14639D, and H4H14639D-maytansinoid B for the longer time periods of 24, 48, and 72 hours. Cells were then harvested with trypsin, washed with PBS and used with RIPA buffer. Protein lysates were run on 4-12% Novex 20-well midi gels (Invitrogen) and then transferred to a PVDF membrane. The membrane was then blocked in 5% skimmed milk powder, incubated in primary antibodies against c-Met (Cell Signaling), PARP (Cell Signaling), phosphorylated histone-H3 (Cell Signaling) and tubulin (Cell Signaling) for overnight on a shaker at 4 °C, washed with TBST, incubated in the appropriate secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare) conjugated to HRP and washed with TBST. ECL HRP substrate was added to the membrane and the fluorescence image was taken using a Fujifilm XA-2 camera. Results Figure 29 is an image of a Western blot showing that H4H14639Dmaytansinoid B induces PARP (a marker of apoptosis) cleavage in OMM1.3 cells and Mel202 cells after 24 hours of treatment. Neither REGN1945-maytansinoid B nor H4H14639D induced PARP cleavage. Unlike c-Met-positive cell lines, OCM3 cells did not show PARP cleavage after treatment with H4H14639D-maltansinoid B. Figure 29 also shows a significant increase in histone H3 phosphorylation in OMM1.3 cells and Mel202 treated with H4H14639Dmaytansinoid B compared to REGN1945-maytansinoid B and H4H14639D, but not in OCM3 cells. Histone H3 phosphorylation is induced during mitosis and is evidence of maytansinoid-induced mitotic arrest in the cell. In Figure 29, histone H3 phosphorylation is observed only in cells expressing c-Met (OMM1.3 and Mel202) and not in OCM3 and is evidence that the maytansinoid is transported into the cell by the antibody. c-Met. These data further demonstrate the specificity and effectiveness of the c-Met ADC. Figure 30 is an image of a Western blot showing a time-dependent induction of PARP cleavage in OMM1.3 cells treated with H4H14639D-maltansinno¡de B but not in OMM1.3 cells treated with REGN1945-maitansino¡de. B or with H4H14639D. PARP protein was not affected by H4H14639D-maytansinoid B treatment in OCM3 cells. Furthermore, total Met protein expression is decreased when treated with H4H14639D and H4H14639D-M114 compared to untreated and REGN1945-M114, indicating receptor internalization after antibody or ADC treatment. Finally, there was a significant increase in histone H3 phosphorylation in OMM1.3 cells treated with H4H14639D-maytansinoid B (compared to treatment with REGN1945-maytansinoid B or H4H14639D), but again, this increase was not observed. observed in OCM3 cells. In conclusion, an illustrative bispecific anti-c-Met antibody, the H4H14639D antibody, targets M A / E / ZUZ I / UOO4OO 119 specifically to c-Met in cells that express this receptor. By conjugating this antibody to a maytansinoid (H4H14639D-Maitansinoid B), apoptosis can be specifically and potently induced in uveal melanoma cell lines expressing c-Met. Example 34: MET x MET Bispecific Antibody ADC Inhibits Invasion of c-Met Expressing Uveal Melanoma Cells Uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met, OMM1.3, were seeded overnight on matrigel inserts placed in a 24-well plate at 120,000 cells per insert in RPMI with 0.1% FBS with the following treatments: control without treat, R1945 at 125, 250, and 500 pM, R1945-maltansinoid B, H4H14639D, and H4H14639D-maltansinoid B. RPMI with 10% FBS and 50 ng / mL human HGF as chemotactic were plated into the well. After approximately 24 hours, the insert side of the matrigel was cleaned of non-migrated cells. Migrated cells were fixed in methanol for 2 min and stained with 1% toludine for 2 min and then washed twice with ddFW. The dried matrigels were then placed on microscope slides and sealed with Cytoseal 60. Images were taken using the Nikon TE-2000-U microscope. Results The c-Met H4H14639D-maytansinoid B bispecific antibody significantly inhibited the invasion of OMM1.3 uveal melanoma cells expressing c-Met protein relative to control treatments (R1945 and R1945-maytansinoid B) beginning at 250 pm. There was also a significant inhibition of cell invasion in cells treated with H4H14639D starting at 250 pM. Cell viability, however, is not affected by the payload of conjugated maytansinoid in H4H14639D-maytansinoid B at this dose. See Figure 32.
