Abstract
Description
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATE METABOLITES
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 590,288, filed on October 13, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0002] The present disclosure relates to methods of analysis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), e.g., those comprising eribulin, and the quantitative assessment of intact ADC or metabolites thereof in vitro and in vivo. Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof suitable for use in the assays are also disclosed. BACKGROUND
[0003] When analyzing ADCs, for example to provide quantitative assessment of ADC concentration and metabolism in vitro or in vivo, the typical assays performed involve assessing total antibody (both conjugated and unconjugated antibody), intact ADC (all conjugated antibody species with drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) > 0, generally measured in a DAR-insensitive manner), and free payload. Assessment of total antibody and intact ADC are almost exclusively determined using immunoassay methods, while free payload is typically measured by quantitative mass spectrometry. While providing valuable information on components of ADC metabolism, these assays often do not provide a complete picture of the overall metabolic process. Intact ADC assays are typically DAR-insensitive, i.e., all DAR species are recovered equally, which simplifies the interpretation of pharmacokinetic analyses by reducing the complexity of test agent to a single species – conjugated antibody. However, intact ADC assays can overrepresent ADC stability, especially for ADCs with higher starting DAR (e.g., DAR4 to DAR8 or higher). These ADCs could lose all but one of their conjugated payloads or linker-payloads to chemical or enzymatic processes and still be quantitated in the intact ADC assay as “intact.” Furthermore, other biologically active payload-containing metabolites could be generated in the process of ADC metabolism, and these would not be captured solely with a free payload assay. Thus, a need remains for improved ADC analytical assays.
[0004] One option for improved assays could comprise immunological methods. The measurement of intact ADC by immunological methods, however, requires the use of specific immunoreagents (typically antibodies or antigen-binding fragments) that recognize either the payload alone or the linker-payload, wherein the epitope is comprised of components of bothAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 the linker and payload. Antibodies that recognize the payload alone have the added benefit that they can be used in assays to quantify ADC properties where the payload is paired with many different linker structures, making them useful in early-stage conjugate research activities where the final linker-payload structure is not fixed. Payload-recognizing agents with desirable features of high affinity and specificity for the payload alone may have broader utility beyond use in intact ADC assays, such as in immunodepletion of ADCs, immunopurification of conjugated species, and immunohistochemical analyses of ADCs in tissues.
[0005] Maleimide-based ADCs can undergo a process in matrix and in circulation known as retro-Michael deconjugation, where the intact maleimide linker-payload is released. Maleimides are highly reactive, have very short half-lives in plasma, and have several potential metabolic fates (FIG.1). In some instances, these linker-payload species may represent the majority of payload-related metabolites in circulation. These metabolites are typically measured using mass spectrometry. However, the quantitative assessment of these species by mass spectrometry represents an analytical challenge because each linker-payload metabolite has a unique mass and thus requires a separate assay. Furthermore, protein conjugate metabolites, such as albumin conjugates, would not be amenable to mass spectrometry methods for quantitation. It would therefore be beneficial to have a method to quantitate additional metabolites or all non-antibody conjugated linker-payload metabolites in total.
[0006] Accordingly, in various embodiments, the present disclosure provides improved methods and reagents for detecting and quantifying intact antibody-drug conjugates, constituent antibody-drug conjugate parts such as a linker-payload, e.g., Mal-(PEG)2-VCP- eribulin, and metabolites in a biological sample.

[0078] The disclosed compositions and methods may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying figures, which form a part of this disclosure. It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting of the claimed compositions and methods unless the context indicates otherwise.
[0079] Throughout this text, the descriptions refer to compositions and methods of using the compositions. Where the disclosure describes or claims a feature or embodiment associated with a composition, such a feature or embodiment is equally applicable to the methods of using the composition. Likewise, where the disclosure describes or claims a feature or embodiment associated with a method of using a composition, such a feature or embodiment is equally applicable to the composition.
[0080] When a range of values is expressed, it includes embodiments using any particular value within the range. Further, reference to values stated in ranges includes each and every value within that range. All ranges are inclusive of their endpoints and combinable. When values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. Reference to a particular numerical value includes at least that particular value unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The use of “or” will mean “and / or” unless the specific context of its use dictates otherwise. All references cited herein are incorporated by reference for any purpose. Where a reference and the specification conflict, the specification will control.Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304
[0081] It is to be appreciated that certain features of the disclosed compositions and methods, which are, for clarity, described herein in the context of separate embodiments, may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the disclosed compositions and methods that are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any subcombination. Definitions
[0082] Various terms relating to aspects of the description are used throughout the specification and claims. Such terms are to be given their ordinary meaning in the art unless otherwise indicated. Other specifically defined terms are to be construed in a manner consistent with the definitions provided herein.
[0083] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0084] The terms "about" or "approximately" in the context of numerical values and ranges refers to values or ranges that approximate or are close to the recited values or ranges such that the embodiment may perform as intended, such as having a desired amount of nucleic acids or polypeptides in a reaction mixture, as is apparent to the skilled person from the teachings contained herein. Thus, these terms encompass values beyond those resulting from systematic error. In some embodiments, about means plus or minus 10% of a numerical amount.
[0085] The terms “antibody-drug conjugate,” “antibody conjugate,” “conjugate,” “immunoconjugate,” and “ADC” are used interchangeably, and refer to a therapeutic compound (e.g., an eribulin moiety) that is linked to an antibody moiety and is defined by the generic formula: Ab-(L-D)p (Formula I), wherein Ab is an antibody moiety (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment), L is a linker moiety, D is a drug moiety (e.g., an eribulin drug moiety), and p is the number of drug moieties per antibody moiety. In ADCs comprising an eribulin drug moiety, “p” refers to the number of eribulin moieties linked to the antibody moiety. In some embodiments, the linker L can include a cleavable moiety that can either directly attach to the antibody moiety and to the therapeutic compound, or the cleavable moiety can be attached to either or both the antibody moiety and therapeutic compound by spacer unit(s). In some embodiments, when a spacer unit attaches the cleavable moiety to the therapeutic compound, it is a self-immolative spacer unit.Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304
[0086] As used herein, “intact,” in the context of an ADC, refers to an ADC that remains attached to its original number of linker-payload moieties, e.g., if an ADC has DAR4, an “intact” ADC has an average ratio of 4 linker-payload moieties per antibody in solution, e.g., plasma.
[0087] The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense to refer to an immunoglobulin molecule that recognizes and specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or combinations of the foregoing through at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. The heavy chain of an antibody is composed of a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The light chain is composed of a light chain variable domain (VL) and a light chain constant domain (CL). For the purposes of this application, the mature heavy chain and light chain variable domains each comprise three complementarity determining regions (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3) within four framework regions (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4) arranged from N-terminus to C-terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. An “antibody” can be naturally occurring or man-made, such as monoclonal antibodies produced by conventional hybridoma technology. The term “antibody” includes full-length monoclonal antibodies and full-length polyclonal antibodies, as well as antibody fragments such as Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fv, and single chain antibodies. An antibody can be any one of the five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, or subclasses thereof (e.g., isotypes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4). The term further encompasses human antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies and any modified immunoglobulin molecule containing an antigen recognition site, so long as it demonstrates the desired biological activity.
[0088] The term “monoclonal antibody,” as used herein, refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic epitope. In contrast, conventional (polyclonal) antibody preparations typically include a multitude of antibodies directed against (or specific for) different epitopes. The modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, theAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present disclosure may be made by the hybridoma method first described by Kohler et al. (1975) Nature 256:495, or may be made by recombinant DNA methods (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No.4,816,567). Monoclonal antibodies may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in Clackson et al. (1991) Nature 352:624-8, and Marks et al. (1991) J. Mol. Biol.222:581-97, for example.
[0089] The monoclonal antibodies described herein specifically include “chimeric” antibodies, in which a portion of the heavy and / or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they specifically bind the target antigen and / or exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0090] The term “chimeric antibody,” as used herein, refers to antibodies wherein the amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin molecule is derived from two or more species. In some instances, the variable regions of both heavy and light chains correspond to the variable regions of antibodies derived from one species with the desired specificity, affinity, and activity while the constant regions are homologous to antibodies derived from another species (e.g., human) to minimize an immune response in the latter species.
[0091] As used herein, the term “humanized antibody” refers to forms of antibodies that contain sequences from non-human (e.g., rabbit) antibodies as well as human antibodies. Such antibodies are chimeric antibodies which contain minimal sequences derived from non- human immunoglobulin. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the framework (FR) regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody optionally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. The humanized antibody can be further modified by the substitution of residues, either in the Fv framework region and / or within the replaced non-human residues to refine and optimize antibody specificity, affinity, and / or activity.Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304
[0092] The term “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” or “antigen- binding portion” of an antibody, as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an antibody or protein that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., eribulin). Antigen-binding fragments may also retain the ability to internalize into an antigen- expressing cell. In some embodiments, antigen-binding fragments also retain immune effector activity. It has been shown that fragments of a full-length antibody can perform the antigen-binding function of a full-length antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” or “antigen-binding portion” of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; (v) a dAb fragment, which comprises a single variable domain, e.g., a VH domain (see, e.g., Ward et al. (1989) Nature 341:544-6; and Intl. Pub. No. WO 1990 / 005144); and (vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR). Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv)). See, e.g., Bird et al. (1988) Science 242:423-6; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-83. Such single chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the term “antigen-binding fragment” or “antigen-binding portion” of an antibody, and are known in the art as an exemplary type of binding fragment that can internalize into cells upon binding (see, e.g., Zhu et al. (2010) 9:2131-41; He et al. (2010) J. Nucl. Med.51:427-32; and Fitting et al. (2015) MAbs 7:390-402). In certain embodiments, scFv molecules may be incorporated into a fusion protein. Other forms of single chain antibodies, such as diabodies, are also encompassed. Diabodies are bivalent, bispecific antibodies in which VH and VL domains are expressed on a single polypeptide chain, but using a linker that is too short to allow for pairing between the two domains on the same chain, thereby forcing the domains to pair with complementary domains of another chain and creating two antigen-binding sites (see e.g., Holliger et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-8; and Poljak et al. (1994) Structure 2:1121-3). Antigen-binding fragments are obtained using conventional techniquesAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 known to those of skill in the art, and the binding fragments are screened for utility (e.g., binding affinity, internalization) in the same manner as are intact antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments may be prepared by cleavage of the intact protein, e.g., by protease or chemical cleavage.
[0093] “Internalizing” as used herein in reference to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that is capable of being taken through the cell’s lipid bilayer membrane to an internal compartment (i.e., “internalized”) upon binding to the cell, typically into a degradative compartment in the cell. For example, an internalizing anti-eribulin antibody is one that is capable of being taken into the cell after binding to eribulin on the cell membrane. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen- binding fragment used in the ADCs disclosed herein targets a cell surface antigen (e.g., eribulin) via an internalizing antibody or internalizing antigen-binding fragment (allowing the ADC to transfer through the cellular membrane after antigen-binding).
[0094] The term “mesothelin” or “MSLN,” as used herein, refers to any native form of human mesothelin (MSLN). The term encompasses full-length mesothelin (e.g., NCBI Reference Sequence: AAC50348.1; SEQ ID NO: 271), as well as any form of human mesothelin that results from cellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of mesothelin, including but not limited to splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms. Mesothelin can be isolated from a human, or may be produced recombinantly or by synthetic methods. The term may also encompass any synthetic variant to which an anti-mesothelin antibody, e.g., an antibody disclosed herein, and / or antigen-binding fragment, can specifically bind.
[0095] The term “anti-MSLN antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds MSLN” refers to any form of antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds MSLN, and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind MSLN. Preferably the anti-MSLN antibody used in the ADCs disclosed herein is an internalizing antibody or internalizing antibody fragment.345A12-HC15-LC4 (“345A12”) is an exemplary internalizing anti-human MSLN antibody. An anti-MSLN antibody may be conjugated to a drug, e.g., eribulin, via a linker. Exemplary antibody-drug conjugates comprising anti-MSLN antibodies are known in the literature and include MORAb-109. The structure of MORAb-109 is as shown in US Patent Serial No.11,572,414, which isAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 incorporated herein by reference for all ADC and linker-payload structures and methods of synthesizing those structures. In some embodiments, MORAb-109 comprises an anti-MSLN antibody or antigen-binding fragment, 345A12-HC15-LC4, a cleavable linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit-pAB, and a payload comprising eribulin (see Table 1).
[0096] The term “folate receptor alpha” or “FRA,” as used herein, refers to any native form of human FRA. The term encompasses full-length FRA (e.g., NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_000793; SEQ ID NO: 270), as well as any form of human FRA that results from cellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of FRA, including but not limited to splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms. FRA can be isolated from a human or may be produced recombinantly or by synthetic methods.
[0097] The term “anti-FRA antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds FRA” refers to any form of antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds FRA, and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind FRA. Preferably the anti-FRA antibody used in the ADCs disclosed herein is an internalizing antibody or internalizing antibody fragment. MORAb-003 is an exemplary internalizing anti- human FRA antibody. As used herein, the term “MORAb-003” and “farletuzumab” are interchangeable. An anti-FRA antibody may be conjugated to a drug, e.g., eribulin, via a linker. Exemplary antibody-drug conjugates comprising anti-FRA antibodies are known in the literature and include MORAb-202. The structure of MORAb-202 is as shown in US Patent Serial No.10,322,192, which is incorporated herein by reference for all ADC and linker-payload structures and methods of synthesizing those structures. In some embodiments, MORAb-202 comprises the anti-FRA antibody farletuzumab, a cleavable linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit-pAB, and a payload comprising eribulin (see Table 1). Table 1.

[0098] The term “human epidermal growth factor receptor 2,” “HER2,” or “HER2 / neu,” as used herein, refers to any native form of human HER2. The term encompasses full-lengthAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 her2 (e.g., NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_004439.2; SEQ ID NO: 272), as well as any form of human her2 that results from cellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of her2, including but not limited to splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms.

Exemplary ADCs comprising anti-HER2 antibodies are known in the literature.
[0099] The term “anti-ID antibody” or “anti-idiotypic antibody” refers to an antibody that binds the idiotype, i.e., variable region, of a second antibody. Exemplary anti-ID antibodies include anti-farletuzumab antibodies (e.g., 2G9) and anti-345A12 antibodies (e.g., M000053) as described herein.
[0100] The term “anti-eribulin antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds eribulin” or “eribulin-specific antibody” refers to any form of antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds eribulin, and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind eribulin. In some embodiments, 5E4 is an exemplary eribulin-specific antibody.
[0101] The term “anti-linker antibody” refers to any form of antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds a linker. As an example, an “anti-VCP antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds VCP” or “VCP-specific antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds a linker-payload comprising VCP” is an antibody that binds a linker comprising valine-citruline-p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (VCP), and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind VCP. In some embodiments, 11G6 is an exemplary VCP-specific antibody. An anti-linker antibody may bind the linker when conjugated to an antibody and / or payload, or it may bind only when the linker is liberated from one or more of the other components, or it may bind in both contexts.
[0102] As used herein, the terms “specific,” “specifically binds,” and “binds specifically” refer to the selective binding of an antibody to a target antigen epitope. Antibodies can be tested for specificity of binding by comparing binding to an appropriate antigen with binding to an irrelevant antigen or antigen mixture under a given set of conditions. Methods for measuring antibody binding affinity and kinetics are known in the art and include, e.g.,Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 Biacore. If the antibody binds to the appropriate antigen with at least 2, 5, 7, or 10 times greater affinity than to the irrelevant antigen or antigen mixture, then it is considered to be specific. A “specific antibody” or “target-specific antibody” is one that only binds the target antigen (e.g., farletuzumab, 345A12, or human IgG Fc), but does not bind (or exhibits minimal binding to) other antigens.
[0103] The term “epitope” refers to the portion of an antigen capable of being recognized and specifically bound by an antibody. When the antigen is a polypeptide, epitopes can be formed from contiguous amino acids or noncontiguous amino acids juxtaposed by tertiary folding of the polypeptide. The epitope bound by an antibody may be identified using any epitope mapping technique known in the art, including X-ray crystallography for epitope identification by direct visualization of the antigen-antibody complex, as well as monitoring the binding of the antibody to fragments or mutated variations of the antigen, or monitoring solvent accessibility of different parts of the antibody and the antigen. Exemplary strategies used to map antibody epitopes include, but are not limited to, array-based oligo-peptide scanning, limited proteolysis, site-directed mutagenesis, high-throughput mutagenesis mapping, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, and mass spectrometry (see, e.g., Gershoni et al. (2007) 21:145-56; and Hager-Braun and Tomer (2005) Expert Rev. Proteomics 2:745-56).
[0104] Competitive binding and epitope binning can also be used to determine antibodies sharing identical or overlapping epitopes. Competitive binding can be evaluated using a cross-blocking assay, such as the assay described in “Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual,” Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Harlow and Lane (1stedition 1988, 2ndedition 2014). In some embodiments, competitive binding is identified when a test antibody or binding protein reduces binding of a reference antibody or binding protein to a target antigen such as farletuzumab or 345A12 (e.g., a binding protein comprising CDRs and / or variable domains selected from those identified in Tables 1-3 and Tables 6-8), by at least about 50% in the cross-blocking assay (e.g., 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, 99.5%, or more, or any percentage in between), and / or vice versa. In some embodiments, competitive binding can be due to shared or similar (e.g., partially overlapping) epitopes, or due to steric hindrance where antibodies or binding proteins bind at nearby epitopes (see, e.g., Tzartos, Methods in Molecular Biology (Morris, ed. (1998) vol.66, pp.55-66)). In some embodiments, competitive binding can be used to sort groups of binding proteins that share similar epitopes. For example, binding proteins that compete for binding can be “binned” as a group of bindingAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 proteins that have overlapping or nearby epitopes, while those that do not compete are placed in a separate group of binding proteins that do not have overlapping or nearby epitopes.
[0105] The term "kon" or "ka" refers to the on-rate constant for association of an antibody to the antigen to form the antibody / antigen complex. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay.
[0106] The term "koff" or "kd" refers to the off-rate constant for dissociation of an antibody from the antibody / antigen complex. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay.
[0107] The term "KD" refers to the equilibrium dissociation constant of a particular antibody-antigen interaction. KDis calculated by ka / kd. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay.
[0108] The term “p” or “drug loading” or “drug:antibody ratio” or “drug-to-antibody ratio” or “DAR” refers to the number of drug moieties per antibody moiety, i.e., drug loading, or the number of -L-D moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment (Ab) in ADCs of Formula (I). In ADCs comprising an eribulin drug moiety, “p” refers to the number of eribulin moieties linked to the antibody moiety. For example, if two eribulin moieties are linked to an antibody moiety, p = 2. In compositions comprising multiple copies of ADCs of Formula (I), “average p” refers to the average number of -L-D moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment in a population of ADCs, also referred to as “average drug loading.”
[0109] A “linker” or “linker moiety” is used herein to refer to any chemical moiety that is capable of covalently joining a compound, usually a drug moiety such as eribulin, to another moiety such as an antibody moiety. Linkers can be susceptible to or substantially resistant to acid-induced cleavage, peptidase-induced cleavage, light-based cleavage, esterase-induced cleavage, and / or disulfide bond cleavage, at conditions under which the compound or the antibody remains active.
[0110] The term “payload” is used herein to refer to a chemical compound or a biological macromolecule that is capable of being conjugated to an antibody. A payload may be capable of modulating a biological process and / or have biological activity. The terms “agent,” “therapeutic agent,” “drug,” or “drug moiety” are interchangeable with “payload” herein. In some embodiments, the payload is eribulin.Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304
[0111] The term “linker-payload” is used herein to refer to a conjugate comprising a linker (e.g., VCP) and a payload (e.g., eribulin). Unless otherwise indicated, reference to a “linker-payload” as used herein refers to a linker-payload metabolite that is not conjugated to an antibody or ADC. In some embodiments, an antibody disclosed herein is capable of binding to an epitope present in a linker-payload.
[0112] The term “eribulin” or “eribulin monomer,” as used herein, refers to a synthetic analog of halichondrin B, a macrocyclic compound that was originally isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria okadais. Eribulin is a microtubule dynamics inhibitor, which is thought to bind tubulin and induce cell cycle arrest at the G2 / M phase by inhibiting mitotic spindle assembly. The term “eribulin mesylate” refers to the mesylate salt of eribulin, which is marketed under the trade name Halaven™. Exemplary eribulin analogs include those shown and described in U.S. Patent No.6,214,865 and U.S. Patent No.6,653,341, which are incorporated herein by reference for the disclosed eribulin structures and methods of synthesizing those structures. The structure of eribulin is shown below.
[0113] The term “homolog” refers to a molecule which exhibits homology to another molecule, by for example, having sequences of chemical residues that are the same or similar at corresponding positions.
[0114] The term “inhibit” or “inhibition of,” as used herein, means to reduce by a measurable amount, and can include but does not require complete prevention or inhibition.
[0115] The term “cancer” refers to the physiological condition in mammals in which a population of cells is characterized by unregulated cell growth. Examples of cancers include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia. More particular examples of such cancers include squamous cell cancer, small cell lung cancer, nonsmall cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma of the lung, squamous carcinoma of the lung, cancer of the peritoneum, hepatocellular cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, hepatoma, breast cancer (e.g., triple negative breast cancer), osteosarcoma, melanoma, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial (e.g., serous) or uterine cancer, salivary gland carcinoma, kidney cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, thyroid cancer, hepatic carcinoma, and various types of head and neck cancers. Triple negative breast cancer refers to breast cancer that is negative for expression of the genes for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), or Her2 / neu.Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304
[0116] The terms “tumor” and “neoplasm” refer to any mass of tissue that results from excessive cell growth or proliferation, either benign or malignant, including precancerous lesions.
[0117] The term “tumor cell” refers to individual cells or the total population of cells derived from a tumor, including both non-tumorigenic cells and cancer stem cells. As used herein, the term “tumor cell” will be modified by the term “non-tumorigenic” when referring solely to those tumor cells lacking the capacity to renew and differentiate to distinguish those tumor cells from cancer stem cells.
[0118] The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein to refer to any animal, such as any mammal, including but not limited to, humans, non-human primates, rodents, and the like. In some embodiments, the mammal is a mouse. In some embodiments, the mammal is a human.
[0119] As used herein, “to treat” or “therapeutic” and grammatically related terms refer to any improvement of any consequence of disease, such as prolonged survival, less morbidity, and / or a lessening of side effects which are the byproducts of an alternative therapeutic modality. As is readily appreciated in the art, full eradication of disease is encompassed but not required for a treatment act. “Treatment” or “treat,” as used herein, refers to the administration of a described antibody, antigen-binding fragment, and / or ADC to a subject, e.g., a patient. The treatment can be to cure, heal, alleviate, relieve, alter, remedy, ameliorate, palliate, improve or affect the disorder, the symptoms of the disorder or the predisposition toward the disorder, e.g., a cancer. In some embodiments, in addition to treating a subject with a condition, a composition disclosed herein can also be provided prophylactically to prevent or reduce the likelihood of developing that condition.
[0120] In some embodiments, a labeled antibody, antigen-binding fragment, and / or ADC is used. A label is any moiety attached to an antibody that facilitates its detection in an assay in which the antibody is used. In some embodiments, the label is a detectable label. Suitable “labels” or “detectable labels” include fluorescent tags, radionuclides, enzymes, substrates, cofactors, inhibitors, fluorescent moieties, luminescent moieties, chemiluminescent moieties, electrochemiluminescent moieties, biotin, beads, magnetic particles, and the like. The terms “conjugated to a biotin” and “biotinylated” are used interchangeably herein.
[0121] For amino acid sequences, sequence identity and / or similarity may be determined using standard techniques known in the art, including, but not limited to, the local sequenceAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 identity algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1981) Adv. Appl. Math.2:482, the sequence identity alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol.48:443, the search for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444, computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Drive, Madison, Wis.), the Best Fit sequence program described by Devereux et al. (1984) Nucl. Acid Res.12:387-95, e.g., using the default settings, or by inspection. In some embodiments, percent identity is calculated by FastDB based upon the following parameters: mismatch penalty of 1; gap penalty of 1; gap size penalty of 0.33; and joining penalty of 30 (“Current Methods in Sequence Comparison and Analysis,” Macromolecule Sequencing and Synthesis, Selected Methods and Applications, pp.127-149 (1988), Alan R. Liss, Inc).
[0122] Generally, the amino acid homology, similarity, or identity between proteins disclosed herein and variants thereof, including variants of target antigens (such as farletuzumab or 345A12), variants of tubulin sequences, and variants of antibody variable domains (including individual variant CDRs), are at least 80% to the sequences depicted herein, e.g., homologies or identities of at least 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, almost 100%, or 100%.
[0123] In a similar manner, “percent (%) nucleic acid sequence identity” with respect to the nucleic acid sequence of the antibodies and other proteins identified herein is defined as the percentage of nucleotide residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the nucleotide residues in the coding sequence of the antigen-binding protein. A specific method utilizes the BLASTN module of WU-BLAST-2 set to the default parameters, with overlap span and overlap fraction set to 1 and 0.125, respectively.
[0124] While the site or region for introducing an amino acid sequence variation is predetermined, the mutation per se need not be predetermined. For example, in order to optimize the performance of a mutation at a given site, random mutagenesis may be conducted at the target codon or region and the expressed antigen-binding protein CDR variants screened for the optimal combination of desired activity. Techniques for making substitution mutations at predetermined sites in DNA having a known sequence are well known, for example, MI3 primer mutagenesis and PCR mutagenesis.
[0125] The term “immunodepletion” or “antibody depletion” refers to an assay whereby a target antigen, e.g., an ADC, antibody, antigen-binding fragment, or linker-payloadAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 conjugate, is depleted or removed from a solution using an antibody that specifically binds to said antigen.
[0126] The terms “metabolite” and “ADC metabolite” refer to components of an ADC that, through chemical, biochemical, or enzymatic processes are released from the ADC. ADC metabolites may include ADCs with DAR lower than starting DAR, antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, linker-payload conjugates, free payload moieties, free linker conjugates (i.e., without a payload attached), or any combination thereof.

[0174] The drug moiety (D) of the ADCs and linker-payload conjugates described herein can be any chemotherapeutic agent. Useful classes of chemotherapeutic agents include, for example, anti-tubulin agents. In certain embodiments, the drug moiety is an anti-tubulin agent. One exemplary drug moiety for use in the described ADCs and linker-payload conjugates is eribulin.
[0175] Eribulin is a synthetic analog of the macrocyclic compound halichondrin B, which has been previously shown to be a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization, microtubule assembly, and tubulin-dependent GTP hydrolysis. Tubulin makes up dynamic filamentous cytoskeletal proteins called microtubules that are involved in a variety of vital cellular functions, including intracellular migration and transport, cell signaling, the maintenance of cell shape, and cell division. The rapid dividing rate of cancer cells makes them particularly sensitive to the obstruction of tubulin function. As such, halichondrin B and eribulin haveAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 demonstrated notable anti-cancer activities in vitro and in vivo (Tan et al. (2009) Clin Cancer Res.15(12): 4213-4219; Vahdat et al. (2009) J. Clin. Oncol.27(18): 2954-2961). The mesylate salt of eribulin (eribulin mesylate) is currently marketed under the trade name Halaven™ for the treatment of patients with refractory metastatic breast cancer.
[0176] In various embodiments, the structure of eribulin used in its natural form in the disclosed ADCs and linker-payload conjugates is as shown in Formula (II):

Linkers and Linker-Payload Conjugates
[0223] In various embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment disclosed herein specifically binds to a linker or linker-payload conjugate. An exemplary linker or linker- payload conjugate comprises VCP.
[0224] In some embodiments, the linker in an ADC is stable extracellularly in a sufficient manner to be therapeutically effective. In some embodiments, the linker is stable outside a cell, such that the ADC remains primarily intact when present in extracellular conditions (e.g., prior to transport or delivery into a cell). As used herein, “stable,” in the context of a linker or ADC comprising a linker, means that no more than 20%, no more than about 15%,Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 no more than about 10%, no more than about 5%, no more than about 3%, or no more than about 1% of the linkers (or any percentage in between) in a sample of ADC are cleaved (or in the case of an overall ADC are otherwise not intact) when the ADC is present in extracellular conditions. In some embodiments, the ADC is metabolized in circulation such that a linker- payload is cleaved from the ADC.
[0225] Whether a linker is stable extracellularly can be determined, for example, by including an ADC in plasma for a predetermined time period (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, or 24 hours) and then quantifying the amount of free linker-payload and / or free drug moiety present in the plasma. Stability may allow the ADC time to localize to target tumor cells and prevent the premature release of the drug, which could lower the therapeutic index of the ADC by indiscriminately damaging both normal and tumor tissues. In some embodiments, the linker is stable outside of a target cell and releases the drug moiety from the ADC once inside of the cell, such that the drug moiety can bind to its target (e.g., to microtubules). Thus, an effective linker will: (i) maintain the specific binding properties of the antibody moiety; (ii) allow delivery, e.g., intracellular delivery, of the drug moiety via stable attachment to the antibody moiety; (iii) remain stable and intact until the ADC has been transported or delivered to its target site; and (iv) allow for the therapeutic effect, e.g., cytotoxic effect, of the drug moiety after cleavage. In determining the efficacy of a linker, it is beneficial to be able to measure linker or linker-payload metabolites.
[0226] A linker may be “cleavable” or “non-cleavable” (Ducry and Stump, Bioconjugate Chem. (2010) 21:5-13). Cleavable linkers are designed to release the drug when subjected to certain environment factors, e.g., when internalized into a target cell, whereas non-cleavable linkers generally rely on the degradation of the antibody moiety itself.
[0227] In some embodiments, the linker is a cleavable linker. A cleavable linker refers to any linker that comprises a cleavable moiety. As used herein, the term “cleavable moiety” refers to any chemical bond that can be cleaved. Suitable cleavable chemical bonds are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, acid labile bonds, protease / peptidase labile bonds, photolabile bonds, disulfide bonds, and esterase labile bonds. Linkers comprising a cleavable moiety can allow for the release of the drug moiety from the ADC via cleavage at a particular site in the linker. In various embodiments, cleavage of the antibody from the linked payload activates or increases the activity of the payload. ExemplaryAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 cleavable linkers include acid labile linkers, protease / peptidase-sensitive linkers, photolabile linkers, dimethyl-, disulfide-, or sulfonamide-containing linkers.
[0228] In some embodiments, the linker is cleavable by a cleaving agent, e.g., an enzyme, that is present in the intracellular environment (e.g., within a lysosome or endosome or caveolea). The linker can be, e.g., a peptide linker that is cleaved by an intracellular peptidase or protease enzyme, including, but not limited to, a lysosomal or endosomal protease. In some embodiments, the linker is a cleavable peptide linker. As used herein, a cleavable peptide linker refers to any linker that comprises a cleavable peptide moiety. The term “cleavable peptide moiety” refers to any chemical bond linking amino acids (natural or synthetic amino acid derivatives) that can be cleaved by an agent that is present in the intracellular environment. For instance, a linker may comprise an alanine-alanine-asparagine (Ala-Ala-Asn) sequence, a valine-alanine (Val-Ala) sequence, or a valine-citrulline (Val-Cit) sequence that is cleavable by a peptidase such as cathepsin, e.g., cathepsin B.
[0229] In some embodiments, the linker in any of the ADCs disclosed herein may comprise at least one spacer unit joining the antibody moiety to the drug moiety. In some embodiments, the spacer unit joins a cleavage site (e.g., a cleavable peptide moiety) in the linker to the antibody moiety. In some embodiments, the linker, and / or spacer unit in the linker, is substantially hydrophilic. A hydrophilic linker may be used to reduce the extent to which the drug may be pumped out of resistant cancer cells through multiple drug resistance (MDR) or functionally similar transporters. In some aspects, the linker includes one or more polyethylene glycol (PEG) moieties, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 PEG moieties.

[0232] A spacer unit may be used, for example, to link the antibody moiety to the drug moiety, either directly or indirectly. In some embodiments, the spacer unit links the antibody moiety to the drug moiety directly. In some embodiments, the antibody moiety and the drug moiety are attached via a spacer unit comprising one or more PEG moieties (e.g., (PEG)2or (PEG)4). In some embodiments, the spacer unit links the antibody moiety to the drug moiety indirectly. In some embodiments, the spacer unit links the antibody moiety to the drug moiety indirectly through a cleavable moiety (e.g., a cleavable peptide, a cleavable disulfide, or a cleavable sulfonamide) and / or an attachment moiety to join the spacer unit to the antibody moiety, e.g., a maleimide moiety.
[0233] The spacer unit, in various embodiments, attaches to the antibody moiety (i.e., the antibody or antigen-binding fragment) via a maleimide moiety (Mal). The term “maleimide moiety,” as used herein, means a compound that contains a maleimide group and that is reactive with a sulfhydryl group, e.g., a sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue on the antibody moiety. Other functional groups that are reactive with sulfhydryl groups (thiols) include, but are not limited to, iodoacetamide, bromoacetamide, vinyl pyridine, disulfide, pyridyl disulfide, isocyanate, and isothiocyanate. In some embodiments, the Mal is reactive with a cysteine residue on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the Mal is joined to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment via the cysteine residue.
[0234] In certain embodiments, the linker comprises a Mal moiety, a spacer unit, and a cleavable peptide moiety. In some embodiments, the cleavable peptide moiety comprises an amino acid unit.

In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)m-Val-Ala, where m is 2 to 8 or 2 to 5, or 2, 3, 4, or 5. In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)8-Val-Ala. In some embodiments, the Mal-Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 spacer unit comprises a maleimidocaproyl (MC). In some embodiments, the linker comprises MC-Val-Ala.
[0236] In various embodiments, the spacer unit attaches to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment via a succinimide moiety (OSu). The term “succinimide moiety,” as used herein, means a compound that contains a succinimide compound that is reactive with an amine group, e.g., an amine group of a lysine residue on the antibody moiety. An exemplary succinimide moiety is N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). In some embodiments, the OSu-spacer unit is reactive with a lysine residue on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the OSu-spacer unit is joined to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment via the lysine residue.
[0237] In certain embodiments, the linker comprises an OSu, a spacer unit, and a cleavable peptide moiety. In some embodiments, the cleavable peptide moiety comprises an amino acid unit. In some embodiments, the amino acid unit comprises Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises an OSu, a spacer unit, and Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises OSu-(PEG)2-Val-Cit. In other embodiments, the linker comprises OSu- (PEG)9-Val-Cit. In other embodiments, the linker comprises OSu-(CH2)5-Val-Cit. In certain embodiments, the linker comprises OSu-(PEG)3-triazole-(PEG)3-Val-Cit.
[0238] In various embodiments, the cleavable moiety in the linker is joined directly to the payload moiety. In other embodiments, another spacer unit is used to attach the cleavable moiety in the linker to the payload moiety. In various embodiments, the payload moiety is eribulin. In various embodiments, the eribulin is attached to the cleavable moiety in the linker by a spacer unit. In some embodiments, the eribulin is attached to the cleavable moiety in the linker by a self-immolative spacer unit. In certain embodiments, the eribulin is attached to the cleavable moiety in the linker by a self-immolative spacer unit, the cleavable moiety comprises Val-Cit, and a further spacer unit comprising PEG joins the cleavable moiety to the antibody moiety. In certain embodiments, the eribulin is joined to an anti-FRA antibody via a Mal-spacer unit in the linker joined to a Val-Cit cleavable moiety and a pAB self- immolative spacer unit. In certain other embodiments, the eribulin is joined to an anti-MSLN antibody via a Mal-spacer unit in the linker joined to a Val-Cit cleavable moiety and a pAB self-immolative spacer unit.
[0239] A spacer unit may be “self-immolative” or “non-self-immolative.” A “non-self- immolative” spacer unit is one in which part or all of the spacer unit remains bound to theAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 drug moiety upon cleavage of the linker. Examples of non-self-immolative spacer units include, but are not limited to, a glycine spacer unit and a glycine-glycine spacer unit. Non- self-immolative spacer units may eventually degrade over time but do not readily release a linked native drug entirely under cellular conditions. A “self-immolative” spacer unit allows for release of the native drug moiety under intracellular conditions. A “native drug” is one where no part of the spacer unit or other chemical modification remains after cleavage / degradation of the spacer unit.
[0240] Self-immolation chemistry is known in the art and could be readily selected for the disclosed linkers and / or ADCs. In various embodiments, the spacer unit attaching the cleavable moiety in the linker to the drug moiety (e.g., eribulin) is self-immolative, and undergoes self-immolation concurrently with or shortly before / after cleavage of the cleavable moiety under intracellular conditions.
[0241] In certain embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit in the linker comprises a p-aminobenzyl unit. In some embodiments, a p-aminobenzyl alcohol (pABOH) is attached to an amino acid unit or other cleavable moiety in the linker via an amide bond, and a carbamate, methylcarbamate, or carbonate is made between the pABOH and the drug moiety (Hamann et al. (2005) Expert Opin. Ther. Patents 15:1087-103). In some embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit is or comprises p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (pAB). Without being bound by theory, it is thought that the self-immolation of pAB involves a spontaneous 1,6- elimination reaction (Jain et al. (2015) Pharm Res 32:3526-40).
[0242] In various embodiments, the structure of the p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (pAB) used in the disclosed ADCs is shown below:
[0243] In various embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit attaches the cleavable moiety in the linker to the C-35 amine on eribulin. In some embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit is pAB. In some embodiments, the pAB attaches the cleavable moiety in the linker to the C-35 amine on eribulin. In some embodiments, the pAB undergoes self- immolation upon cleavage of the cleavable moiety, and eribulin is released from the ADC inAttorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 its native, active form.
