Abstract
Description
Application of anti-FRα antibody-drug conjugates in the treatment of diseases Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drug therapy, and in particular to the application of anti-FRα antibody-drug conjugates in treating diseases. Background Art
[0002] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are composed of monoclonal antibodies targeting specific antigens and small molecule cytotoxic drugs connected by linkers. They combine the powerful killing effect of traditional small molecule chemotherapy with the tumor targeting of antibody drugs. They can efficiently transport small molecule cytotoxic drugs to target tumor cells in a targeted manner, thereby overcoming the cytotoxic effect on normal cells. They have become one of the hot research directions in the field of precision tumor treatment.
[0003] Folic acid is an essential vitamin required for DNA synthesis and repair, and cell division. It is transported by endocytosis by binding to folate receptors on the cell surface, where the folate receptor is internalized and then recycled back to the cell membrane. The folate receptor is a transmembrane single-chain glycoprotein linked to glycosylated phosphatidylinositol and has a high affinity for folic acid. The folate receptor includes three subtypes: folate receptor α (Folate Receptorα, FOLR1, FRα), folate receptor β (Folate Receptorβ, FOLR2), and folate receptor γ (Folate Receptorγ, FOLR3). The expression of folate receptors is highly restricted in normal cells, but significantly overexpressed on tumor cells. Among them, folate receptor α has been found to be overexpressed in many malignant tumors, making it one of the popular targets for anticancer drugs.

[0364] Unless otherwise defined, the meanings of scientific and technical terms used in the present invention are those commonly understood by those skilled in the art.
[0365] definition
[0366] It should be noted that the term "a" entity refers to one or more of that entity, e.g., "an antibody" should be understood as one or more antibodies, and thus, the terms "a" (or "an"), "one or more" and "at least one" can be used interchangeably herein.
[0367] As used herein, the terms "comprising" or "including" mean that the antibody, composition, or method, etc. includes the listed elements, such as components or steps, but does not exclude others. "Essentially consisting of" means that the antibody, composition, or method, etc. excludes other elements that have a fundamental effect on the characteristics of the combination, but does not exclude elements that do not substantially affect the antibody, composition, or method, etc. "Consisting of" means excluding elements not specifically listed.
[0368] "About" refers to the conventional error range of the corresponding numerical value that is easily known to those skilled in the relevant art. In some embodiments, "about" mentioned herein refers to the described numerical value and its ±10%, ±5% or ±1% range.
[0369] "Treatment" refers to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, the purpose of which is to prevent, slow, ameliorate or halt an undesirable physiological change or disorder, such as the progression of a disease, including but not limited to the following results, whether detectable or undetectable, relief of symptoms, reduction in the severity of the disease, stabilization of the disease state (i.e., no worsening), delay or slowing of disease progression, improvement, alleviation, reduction or elimination of the disease state (whether partial or complete), prolongation of life expectancy compared to that expected in the absence of treatment, etc. Patients in need of treatment include those already suffering from the disease or disorder, those susceptible to the disease or disorder, or those in need of prevention of the disease or disorder, and those who can or are expected to benefit from the administration of the antibodies or pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein for detection, diagnostic procedures and / or treatment.
[0370] The term "cancer" refers to or is intended to describe a physiological state in mammals that is typically characterized by uncontrolled cell growth. Examples of cancer include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, or leukemia. More specific examples of such cancers include, but are not limited to, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, salivary gland cancer, peritoneal cancer, fallopian tube cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, liver cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, gastrointestinal cancer, glioblastoma, breast cancer, brain cancer, kidney cancer, renal cell carcinoma, colon cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer, testicular cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, cervical cancer, cervical cancer, tongue cancer, bladder cancer, retinoblastoma, glioblastoma, mesothelioma, oral epithelioid carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, and head and neck cancer.
[0371] The terms "overexpression" or "overexpressed" interchangeably refer to a gene that is typically transcribed or translated at a detectably higher level in certain cells, such as cancer cells, compared to normal cells. Overexpression can be overexpression of protein or RNA (due to increased transcription, post-transcriptional processing, translation, post-translational processing, altered stability and altered protein degradation), as well as local overexpression (increased nuclear localization) and enhanced functional activity due to altered protein trafficking patterns, such as, for example, increased enzymatic hydrolysis of a substrate. Overexpression can be 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or more compared to normal cells or control cells. In certain embodiments, the anti-FRα antibodies and antibody drug conjugates of the present invention are used to treat solid tumors that may overexpress folate receptor alpha.
[0372] In some embodiments, folate receptor alpha expression in a tumor sample is higher than background levels of immune tissue (e.g., as determined by immunohistochemical staining) indicating that the tumor is a folate receptor alpha-overexpressing tumor. Methods for detecting folate receptor alpha expression in tumors are known in the art, such as immunohistochemical assays.
[0373] The term "in need thereof" refers to a patient who has been identified as being in need of a particular method or treatment. In some embodiments, identification can be performed by any diagnostic means. In any of the methods and treatments described herein, a patient may be in need.
[0374] The term "patient" refers to any mammal in need of diagnosis, prognosis or treatment, including but not limited to humans, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, mice, horses, cows, etc. In some embodiments, the patient is a human.
[0375] As used herein, the term "administration" or "application" refers to the administration of a substance to achieve a therapeutic purpose (e.g., to treat a tumor). The administration route can be parenteral, enteral, and topical. Parenteral administration is typically by injection, including but not limited to intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcutaneous, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, and intrasternal injection and infusion.
[0376] As used herein, the term "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of a drug, such as an antibody or ADC, that is sufficient to reduce or improve the severity and / or duration of a condition (e.g., cancer) or one or more symptoms thereof; prevent the progression of the condition; cause the condition to regress; prevent the recurrence, development, onset, or progression of one or more symptoms associated with the condition; detect the condition; or enhance or improve the preventive or therapeutic effect of another therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent). For example, an effective amount of an antibody can inhibit tumor growth (e.g., inhibit an increase in tumor volume); reduce tumor growth (e.g., reduce tumor volume); reduce the number of cancer cells; and / or alleviate one or more symptoms associated with cancer to some extent. For example, an effective amount can improve disease-free survival (DFS), improve overall survival (OS), or reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
[0377] The term "antibody drug conjugate" or "ADC" refers to a binding protein (such as an antibody or its antigen binding unit) connected to one or more chemical drugs, which may optionally be a therapeutic agent or a cytotoxic agent. In a preferred embodiment, the ADC comprises an antibody, a drug (such as a cytotoxic drug) and a linker that enables the drug to be attached or coupled to the antibody. Non-limiting examples of drugs that may be included in an ADC are mitotic inhibitors, antitumor antibiotics, immunomodulators, vectors for gene therapy, alkylating agents, anti-angiogenic agents, antimetabolites, boron-containing agents, chemoprotectants, hormones, anti-hormonal agents, corticosteroids, photoactive therapeutic agents, oligonucleotides, radionuclide agents, topoisomerase inhibitors, kinase inhibitors (e.g., TEC-family kinase inhibitors and serine / threonine kinase inhibitors) and radiosensitizers.
[0378] The terms "antibody drug conjugate" and "ADC" are used interchangeably. The terms "anti-folate receptor alpha antibody drug conjugate," "anti-FRα antibody drug conjugate," "anti-FRα ADC," and "anti-folate receptor alpha ADC" are used interchangeably and refer to an ADC comprising an antibody that specifically binds to folate receptor alpha, wherein the antibody is conjugated to one or more drugs. In one or more embodiments, the anti-FRα ADC comprises an antibody conjugated to exitecan. In one or more embodiments, the anti-FRα antibody or ADC binds to folate receptor alpha (e.g., human folate receptor alpha).
[0379] The term "drug-antibody coupling ratio" or "DAR" refers to the number of drugs (e.g., exotecan) attached to an antibody of an ADC. The DAR of an ADC can range from 1 to 10, but higher loadings (e.g., 20) are possible depending on the number of attachment sites on the antibody. The term DAR can be used when referring to the number of drugs loaded onto a single antibody, or alternatively, when referring to the average or mean DAR of a group of ADCs. In some embodiments, the value is selected from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. When considering the average number of small molecule drugs bound, that is, the average number of drugs bound to the antibody, or the average drug-antibody coupling ratio, the value is selected from about 0 to about 10, or about 2 to about 8. In some embodiments, the drug-antibody coupling ratio is about 3 to about 6. In other embodiments, the drug-antibody coupling ratio is about 6 to about 8, or about 7 to about 8. DAR values can be represented herein by p. Those skilled in the art understand that the average DAR value (p) of different batches of the same ADC can vary slightly. The DAR value of an ADC can be measured using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis), high-performance liquid chromatography-hydrophobic chromatography (HPLC-HIC), high-performance liquid chromatography-reverse phase chromatography (RP-HPLC), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), etc. These techniques are described in Ouyang, J. Methods Mol Biol, 2013, 1045: p. 275-83.

[0483] Example 8: Synthesis of ADC
[0484] ADC1 conjugation process:
[0485] Reduction reaction: Use coupling buffer (10 mM succinic acid aqueous solution) to adjust the concentration of antibody 1 to 18 g / L. Add 0.1 M EDTA aqueous solution to a final EDTA concentration of 2 mM. Based on the amount of antibody substance, add 5.4 molar equivalents of 0.2 M TCEP aqueous solution. Adjust the pH to 7. Stir the reaction at 25°C and 180 rpm for 2 h to reduce the interchain disulfide bonds of the antibody to free sulfhydryl groups.
[0486] Use a 30KD ultrafiltration membrane to replace 10 volumes of liquid to remove the reducing agent TCEP in the system.
[0487] Coupling reaction: Based on the amount of antibody, 15-fold molar equivalents of a 100 mM solution of CB07-Exatecan in dimethylacetamide (DMA) were added, and the reaction was stirred at 180 rpm at 25°C for 2 h. Finally, 0.2 M aqueous N-acetylcysteine was added to a final concentration of 2 mM and the reaction was continued for 15 min to terminate the coupling reaction. The reaction mixture was purified and ultrafiltered to obtain ADC1 at a concentration of 23.56 mg / mL. The DAR (p) was 8 (Batch 1) as determined by reverse-phase chromatography.
[0488] ADC2 conjugation process:
[0489] Reduction reaction: Use coupling buffer (10 mM succinic acid aqueous solution) to adjust the concentration of Antibody 1 to approximately 18 g / L. Add 0.1 M EDTA aqueous solution to a final EDTA concentration of 2 mM. Based on the amount of antibody, add 2.5 molar equivalents of 10 mM TCEP aqueous solution. Adjust the pH to 7. Incubate on a shaker at 25°C for 2 h to reduce the interchain disulfide bonds of the antibody to free sulfhydryl groups.
[0490] The ultrafiltration solution was changed by 10 volumes to remove the reducing agent TCEP in the system.
[0491] Coupling reaction: Based on the amount of antibody, 6 molar equivalents of a 100 mM solution of CB07-Exatecan in dimethylacetamide (DMA) were added and the reaction was shaken at 25°C for 1 hour. Finally, 0.1 M aqueous N-acetylcysteine was added to a final concentration of 1.5 mM and the reaction was continued for 15 minutes to terminate the coupling reaction. The reaction mixture was purified to obtain ADC2 at a concentration of 1.34 mg / mL. The DAR (p) was 4 as determined by reverse-phase chromatography.

[0597] Anti-tumor efficacy indicators include:
[0598] Objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were defined according to RECIST 1.1.
[0599] Dose escalation study results
[0600] I. Enrollment in the Dose-Escalation Phase
[0601] In a Phase I dose-escalation study of ADC1, 29 subjects with advanced solid tumors received at least one dose of ADC1. Subjects were enrolled in the 1.2 mg / kg (N=1), 1.8 mg / kg (N=5), 2.1 mg / kg (N=9), and 2.4 mg / kg (N=14) dose cohorts. Enrolled tumors included 16 patients with ovarian cancer, 6 with breast cancer, 2 with lung cancer, 2 with cervical cancer, and 1 patient each with fallopian tube cancer, tongue cancer, and endometrial cancer. Baseline characteristics are shown in Table 2.
[0602] Table 2 Baseline characteristics
[0603] 2. Preliminary efficacy data in the dose escalation phase
[0604] A total of 29 subjects underwent at least one efficacy assessment, of which 9 achieved partial remission (PR) (7 cases with FRα expression ≥50%), including 6 cases of ovarian cancer, 1 case of fallopian tube cancer, 1 case of breast cancer and 1 case of endometrial cancer, and 16 cases achieved stable disease (SD). The current objective response rate (ORR) is 31%, and the disease control rate (DCR) is 86.2% (Figure 1). Most of the ovarian cancer subjects had received more than 3 lines of anti-tumor treatment including bevacizumab, PARPi and other drugs. All PR cases achieved partial remission in the first or second tumor assessment; no subject ended the study treatment due to safety issues; some subjects have been treated for more than 1 year (Figure 2).
[0605] In subjects with ovarian and fallopian tube cancer, the ORR was 7 / 17 (41%), with a DCR of 88.2%. Among 14 subjects with ovarian and fallopian tube cancer whose FRα TPS (tumor cell proportion score) was greater than 25%, the ORR was 7 / 14 (50%), with a DCR of 92.8%. In the 15 subjects with ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer) in the 2.1 and 2.4 mg / kg dose groups, regardless of FRα expression level, the ORR was 46.7%, with a DCR of 86.7%. Among the 12 subjects with FRα TPS greater than 25%, the ORR was 7 / 12 (58.3%), 4 / 6 (66.7%) in the 2.4 mg / kg group, and 3 / 6 (50%) in the 2.1 mg / kg group, with a DCR of 91.7% (Figures 3 and 4). Responses were also observed in subjects with breast and endometrial cancer (see Table 3).
[0606] Table 3 Effects of ADC1 on breast cancer and endometrial cancer
[0607] The most common adverse events were decreased platelet count, decreased neutrophil count, anemia, leukopenia, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.
[0608] Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of grade ≥3 were mainly hematologic toxicities.
[0609] 3. Preliminary Pharmacokinetic Data in the Dose-Escalation Phase
[0610] Twenty subjects treated with ADC1 were included in the PK analysis. After the first dose, systemic exposure of ADC1 increased with increasing doses. PK parameters for the 1.2, 2.1, and 2.4 mg / kg dose groups are shown in Tables 4-6.
[0611] Table 4 PK parameters of ADC1
[0612] Table 5 PK parameters of total anti-FRα antibodies
[0613] Table 6 PK parameters of Exatecan
[0614] Part II: Dose expansion study. The dose of the subjects currently enrolled was analyzed using the dose corrected for body surface area, safety, and efficacy. The dose was found to be approximately 87-93 mg / m 2 The safety is relatively good and the possibility of therapeutic benefit is high. 2 and 84 mg / m 2 The two doses will be expanded in cohorts 1 and 2 respectively. Subjects with ovarian cancer or other tumor types will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 manner to receive ADC193mg / m 2 Q3W or 84 mg / m 2 Treatment was given Q3W (see Table 7).
[0615] Table 7 Grouping and drug administration
[0616] Baseline characteristics of ovarian cancer patients:
[0617] As of May 8, 2024, 96 subjects with platinum-refractory or platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (PROC) were enrolled and received ADC 11.8 mg / kg (N=2), 2.1 mg / kg (N=16), 2.4 mg / kg (N=15), 84 mg / m 2 (N=32) or 93 mg / m 2 (N=31). Most subjects (89.6%, 86 / 96) had not received pelvic radiotherapy before. All subjects had received bevacizumab treatment, and 53.1% (51 / 96) of them had received PARPi treatment before.
[0618] Table 8 Baseline characteristics of ovarian cancer subjects (N=96)
[0619] Efficacy in patients with ovarian cancer:
[0620] As of May 8, 2024, 54 PROC subjects underwent at least one tumor assessment after ADC1 treatment, of whom 38.9% (21 / 54) had previously received >3 lines of systemic therapy. Regardless of FRα expression level, the ORR (including unconfirmed PR) was 37.0% (20 / 54) and the DCR was 77.8% (42 / 54) in all subjects; in subjects with FRα TPS <50%, the ORR was 33.3% (7 / 21) and the DCR was 71.4% (15 / 21); in subjects with FRα TPS ≥50%, the ORR was 39.4% (13 / 33) and the DCR was 81.8% (27 / 33) (see Table 9).
[0621] Table 9 ORR of ovarian cancer patients (N=54)
[0622] Note: * includes 3 unconfirmed PRs, # includes 2 unconfirmed PRs
[0623] Figures 5 and 6 show that the majority of subjects treated with ADC1 experienced tumor shrinkage, and the study treatment resulted in sustained shrinkage of target tumor lesions in the majority of subjects.
[0624] At a median follow-up of 6.5 months (range, 1.3, 18.0), the median duration of response (mDOR) was 6.3 months (range, 1.8-16.5 months). The majority of subjects with a PR remain on treatment.
[0625] The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the mPFS was 7.47 months (4.27-NA), and the 6-month and 1-year OS rates were both 83.0% (see Figures 7-8).
[0626] ADC1 had a favorable safety profile. No ILD or significant ocular toxicity was reported. ADC1 demonstrated superior preliminary efficacy in all PROC patients, regardless of FRα expression level.
[0627] Example 10: A multicenter, open-label, phase 2 clinical study of ADC1 (DAR 7-8) in the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
[0628] The trial patients were subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed platinum-resistant advanced or metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer who had received no more than three lines of previous treatment.
[0629] Definition of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer:
[0630] a. Patients who have received only one line of platinum-based therapy must have received at least four cycles of platinum-based therapy and achieved remission (CR or PR), with disease progression occurring between >1 month and ≤6 months after the last platinum-based chemotherapy;
[0631] b. Patients who have received 2 or 3 prior platinum-based therapies must have disease progression within 6 months of the last platinum-based therapy.
[0632] Note: 1) Progression should be calculated from the date of administration of the last platinum-containing treatment to the date of disease progression shown by imaging; 2) Patients who are platinum-refractory during first-line treatment are not included.
[0633] Study Design:
[0634] Part I: Dose-finding study. Three dose groups were set up, with dose A: 76 mg / m 2 Dose B: 84 mg / m 2 and dose C: 93 mg / m 2 Patients will be stratified according to FRα expression level (TPS < 50%, 50% ≤ TPS < 75%, TPS ≥ 75% [FRα unevaluable subjects will be included in the TPS < 50% group]).
[0635] Part II: Dose Expansion Study. The dose used will be determined based on the data generated in Part I.
[0636] Dosage: Intravenous infusion, administered once every 3 weeks (Q3W). The recommended infusion time for the first dosing cycle is ≥ 90 minutes. If no infusion reaction occurs, the infusion time for subsequent cycles can be completed within 30 to 60 minutes.
