[0161] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0162] Provided herein are anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugates comprising a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer, and related pharmaceutical compositions, and kits. The anti- mutCALR antibody-drug conjugates described herein are useful in the treatment or prevention of myeloproliferative neoplasms (e.g, chronic myelogenous leukemia, polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, acute myelogenus leukemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, myeloproliferative neoplasm and myelodysplastic syndrome, including myelodysplastic syndrome with refractory anaemia with ring sideroblasts, myelodysplastic syndrome with refractory anemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome with refractory anemia with excess blasts).
[0163] Mutant CALR and Anti-mutCALR Antibodies
[0164] CALR is a highly conserved chaperone protein that resides primanly in the endoplasmic reticulum and is involved in a variety of cellular processes including protein folding, calcium homeostasis, cell adhesion, and integrin signaling. Mutations in the CALR gene have been identified in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. The two most frequent CALR mutations are a 52 base pair (bp) deletion and a 5 bp insertion, which are referred to as Type 1 and Type 2 mutations, respectively. Type 1 and Type 2 mutations cause a +1 frameshift within exon 9 that generates a novel, positively-charged C-terminal amino acid sequence that lacks the KDEL domain (SEQ ID NO:347) of the WT protein, thereby enabling the mutCALR to escape the ER and activate the thrombopoietin receptor (MPL) and induce constitutive activation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling. The amino acid sequences of human WT CALR, Type 1 and Type 2 mutCALR, and the novel C-terminal sequence are

[0238] In some embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a heavy chain variable region comprising any one of the VH sequences set forth in Tables 4-5. In some embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a light chain variable region comprising any one of the VL sequences set forth in Tables 4-5. In some embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a heavy chain variable region comprising any one of the VH sequences set forth in Tables 4-5 and a light chain variable region comprising any one of the VL sequences set forth in Tables 4-5.
[0239] In some embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a modification which modulates (e.g.. reduces or increases) the Fc region-mediated effector function, such as complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP). Depending on the therapeutic antibody or Fc fusion protein application, it may be desired to either reduce or increase the effector function.
[0240] In certain embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate has Fc effector function. In certain embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate has enhanced Fc effector function. In certain embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody -drug conjugate exhibits antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). An anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate can be engineered to enhance the ADCC activity (for review, see Kubota T et al. Cancer Sci. 2009; 100(9): 1566-72). For example, ADCC activity of an antibody can be improved when the antibody itself has a low ADCC activity, by slightly modifying the constant region of the antibody (Junttila TT. et al. Cancer Res. 2010;70(l 1):4481-9). Changes are sometimes also made to improve storage or production or to remove C-terminal lysines (Kubota T et al. Cancer Sci. 2009;100(9): 1566-72). Another suitable method to improve ADCC activity of an antibody is by enzymatically interfering with the glycosylation pathway resulting in a reduced fucose (von Horsten HH. etal. Glycobiology. 2010;20(12): 1607-18). Alternatively, or additionally, other suitable methods can be used to achieve ADCC enhancement, for instance including glycoengineering (Kyowa
[0241] 72
[0242] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Hakko / Biowa, GlycArt (Roche) and Eureka Therapeutics) and mutagenesis, all of which seek to improve Fc binding to low-affinity activating FcyRIIIa, and / or to reduce binding to the low affinity inhibitory FcyRIIb. In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure exhibits enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). In certain embodiments, a binding moiety of the present disclosure is afucosylated.
[0243] In certain embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate has reduced Fc effector function. In certain embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate exhibits reduced or substantially no complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibodydependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) or antibody -dependent cell phagocytosis (ADCP). In certain embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate exhibits reduced or substantially no antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). An anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate can be engineered to reduce effector function, for example ADCC activity, by any suitable method including removal of glycosylation sites in the Fc region. In certain embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate that has a reduced Fc effector function (e.g., a reduced ADCC effector function) comprises an N297A mutation on the heavy chain.
[0244] In some embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises an IgGl isotype (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4). In some embodiments, an anti-mutCALR antibody - drug conjugate comprises an IgGl. In some embodiments, an IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 anti- mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate has Fc-effector function. In some embodiments, an IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4 anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate is Fc-effector function null. In some embodiments, an IgGl anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate has Fc-effector function. In some embodiments, an IgGl anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate is Fc- effector function null.
[0245] In some instances, the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises an antibody fragment. Fragments of the antibodies described herein (e.g., Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Facb, and Fv) may be prepared by proteolytic digestion of intact antibodies. For example, antibody fragments can be obtained by treating the whole antibody with an enzyme such as papain, pepsin, or plasmin or the FabRICATOR® (IdeS) recombinant enzyme (Genovis AB) that digests IgG antibodies to produce a homogeneous pool of F(ab')2 and Fc / 2 fragments. Papain digestion of whole antibodies produces F(ab)2 or Fab fragments; pepsin digestion of whole antibodies yields F(ab')2 or Fab'; and plasmin digestion of whole antibodies yields Facb fragments.
[0246] 73
[0247] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Alternatively, antibody fragments can be produced recombinantly. For example, nucleic acids encoding the antibody fragments of interest can be constructed, introduced into an expression vector, and expressed in suitable host cells. See, e.g., Co, M.S. et al., J. Immunol., 152:2968-2976 (1994); Better, M. and Horwitz, A.H., Methods in Enzymology, 178:476-496 (1989); Plueckthun, A. and Skerra, A., Methods in Enzymology, 178:476-496 (1989); Lamoyi, E., Methods in Enzymology, 121 :652-663 (1989); Rousseaux, J. et al., Methods in Enzymology, (1989) 121:663-669 (1989); and Bird, R.E. et al, TIBTECH, 9: 132-137 (1991)). Antibody fragments can be expressed in and secreted from A. coll, thus allowing the facile production of large amounts of these fragments. Antibody fragments can be isolated from the antibody phage libraries. Alternatively, Fab'-SH fragments can be directly recovered from A. coli and chemically coupled to form F(ab)2 fragments (Carter et al., Bio / Technology, 10: 163-167 (1992)). According to another approach, F(ab')2 fragments can be isolated directly from recombinant host cell culture. Fab and F(ab')2 fragment with increased in vivo half-life comprising a salvage receptor binding epitope residues are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,869,046.
[0248] In some instances, the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a minibody. Minibodies of anti-mutCALR antibodies include diabodies, single chain (scFv), and singlechain (Fv)2 (SC(FV)2).
[0249] A “diabody” is a bivalent minibody constructed by gene fusion (see, e.g, Holliger, P. et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A., 90:6444-6448 (1993); EP 404,097; WO 93 / 11161). Diabodies are dimers composed of two polypeptide chains. The VL and VH domain of each polypeptide chain of the diabody are bound by linkers. The number of amino acid residues that constitute a linker can be between 2 to 12 residues (e.g., 3-10 residues or five or about five residues). The linkers of the polypeptides in a diabody are typically too short to allow the VL and VH to bind to each other. Thus, the VL and VH encoded in the same polypeptide chain cannot form a single-chain variable region fragment, but instead form a dimer with a different single-chain variable region fragment. As a result, a diabody has two antigenbinding sites.
[0250] An scFv is a single-chain polypeptide antibody obtained by linking the VH and VL with a linker (see, e.g., Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A., 85:5879-5883 (1988); and Plickthun, “The Pharmacology of Monoclonal Antibodies” Vol.113, Ed Resenburg and Moore, Springer Verlag, New York, pp.269-315, (1994)). The order of VHs and VLs to be linked is not particularly limited, and they may be arranged in any order. Examples of arrangements include: [VH] linker [VL]; or [VL] linker [VH], The heavy chain variable
[0251] 74
[0252] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) domain and light chain variable domain in an scFv may be derived from any anti-mutCALR antibody described herein.
[0253] An SC(FV)2 is a minibody in which two VHs and two VLs are linked by a linker to form a single chain (Hudson, et al., J. Immunol. Methods, (1999) 231: 177-189 (1999)). An SC(FV)2 can be prepared, for example, by connecting scFvs with a linker. The sc(Fv)2 of the present invention include antibodies preferably in which two VHs and two VLs are arranged in the order of: VH, VL, VH, and VL ([VH] linker [VL] linker [VH] linker [VL]), beginning from the N terminus of a single-chain polypeptide; however the order of the two VHs and two VLs is not limited to the above arrangement, and they may be arranged in any order.
[0254] In some instances, the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a bispecific antibody. Bispecific antibodies are antibodies that have binding specificities for at least two different epitopes. Exemplary bispecific antibodies may bind to two different epitopes of the mutCALR protein. Other such antibodies may combine a mutCALR binding site with a binding site for another antigen. Bispecific antibodies can be prepared as full length antibodies or low molecular weight forms thereof (e.g., F(ab')2 bispecific antibodies, sc(Fv)2 bispecific antibodies, diabody bispecific antibodies).
[0255] Traditional production of full length bispecific antibodies is based on the coexpression of two immunoglobulin heavy chain-light chain pairs, where the two chains have different specificities (Millstein et al., Nature, 305:537-539 (1983)). In a different approach, antibody variable domains with the desired binding specificities are fused to immunoglobulin constant domain sequences. DNAs encoding the immunoglobulin heavy chain fusions and, if desired, the immunoglobulin light chain, are inserted into separate expression vectors, and are co-transfected into a suitable host cell. This provides for greater flexibility in adjusting the proportions of the three polypeptide fragments. It is, however, possible to insert the coding sequences for two or all three polypeptide chains into a single expression vector when the expression of at least two polypeptide chains in equal ratios results in high yields.
[0256] According to another approach described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,731,168, the interface between a pair of antibody molecules can be engineered to maximize the percentage of heterodimers that are recovered from recombinant cell culture. The preferred interface comprises at least a part of the CH3 domain. In this method, one or more small amino acid side chains from the interface of the first antibody molecule are replaced with larger side chains (e.g., tyrosine or tryptophan). Compensatory “cavities” of identical or similar size to the large side chain(s) are created on the interface of the second antibody molecule by replacing large amino acid side chains with smaller ones (e.g, alanine or threonine). This
[0257] 75
[0258] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) provides a mechanism for increasing the yield of the heterodimer over other unwanted endproducts such as homodimers.
[0259] Bispecific antibodies include cross-linked or “heteroconjugate” antibodies. For example, one of the antibodies in the heteroconjugate can be coupled to avidin, the other to biotin. Heteroconjugate antibodies may be made using any convenient cross-linking methods.
[0260] The “diabody” technology provides an alternative mechanism for making bispecific antibody fragments. The fragments comprise a VH connected to a VL by a linker which is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain. Accordingly, the VH and VL domains of one fragment are forced to pair with the complementary VL and VH domains of another fragment, thereby forming two antigen-binding sites.
[0261] In certain embodiments, the bispecific anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a biparatopic antibody. A biparatopic antibody is antibody which recognizes two non-identical epitopes (overlapping or non-overlapping epitopes) on the same target antigen (e.g. the C-terminal of mutCALR domain). A biparatopic anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate can comprise two immunoglobulin heavy chain-light chain pairs or one immunoglobulin heavy chain-light chain pair. In some embodiments, a biparatopic anti- mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises one immunoglobulin heavy-chain-lighl chain pair. In some embodiments, a biparatopic anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a full-length antibody comprising one immunoglobulin heavy -chain-light chain pair.
[0262] In some instances, the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a multivalent antibody. A multivalent antibody may be internalized (and / or catabolized) faster than a bivalent antibody by a cell expressing an antigen to which the antibodies bind. The antibodies describe herein can be multivalent antibodies with three or more antigen binding sites (e.g., tetravalent antibodies), which can be readily produced by recombinant expression of nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide chains of the antibody. The multivalent antibody can comprise a dimerization domain and three or more antigen binding sites. An exemplary dimerization domain comprises (or consists of) an Fc region or a hinge region. A multivalent antibody can comprise (or consist of) three to about eight (e.g, four) antigen binding sites. The multivalent antibody optionally comprises at least one polypeptide chain (e.g, at least two polypeptide chains), wherein the polypeptide chain(s) comprise two or more variable domains. For instance, the polypeptide chain(s) may comprise VDl-(Xl)n-VD2-(X2)n-Fc, wherein VD1 is a first variable domain, VD2 is a second variable domain, Fc is a polypeptide chain of an Fc region, XI and X2 represent an amino acid or peptide spacer, and n is 0 or 1.

[0264] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Pyrrolobenzodiazepine Dimers
[0265] The present disclosure provides an anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprising any one of the anti-mutCALR antibodies described herein and a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer, e.g., a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer described herein.
[0266] Pyrrolobenzodiazepines are sequence-selective DNA minor-groove binding agents based on the naturally occurring anthramycin family of antitumor antibiotics.
[0267] Pyrrolobenzodiazepine has a general structure shown below:
[0268] Pyrrolobenzodiazepines differ in the number, type and position of substituents, in both their aromatic A-rings and pyrrolo C-rings, and in the degree of saturation of the C-ring. In the B-ring there is either an imine (N=C), a carbinolamine (NH-CH(OH)), or a carbinolamine methyl ether (NH-CH(OMe)) at the N10-C11 position, which is the electrophilic center responsible for alkylating DNA. The biological activity of pyrrolobenzodiazepines can be enhanced by joining two pyrrolobenzodiazepines monomers together through their C8 / C'-hydroxyl functionalities via a flexible alkylene linker to form a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer (see, e.g., Bose, D.S. et al., “Rational Design of a Highly Efficient Irreversible DNA Interstrand Cross-Linking Agent Based on the Pyrrolobenzodiazepine Ring System,” J. Am. Chem. Soc., 114, 4939-4941 (1992); Thurston, D.E. et al., “Synthesis of Sequence-selective C8-linked Pyrrolo [2,l-c][l,4] Benzodiazepine DNA Interstrand Cross-linking Agent,” J. Org.

[0303] Any pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer (e.g, a pyrrol obenzodiazepine dimer described herein) can comprise a cap, which can also be referred to as a trigger. In some embodiments, the pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer includes a cap at the N10 position of the pyrrolobenzodiazepine ring system. Alternatively, or in addition to, a linker between the pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer and the antibody can include a cap.
[0304] In some embodiments, the cap comprises a cleavable cap, e.g., an enzyme-cleavable cap. For example, the pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer can comprise a glucuronide group that is cleaved by P-glucuronidase, which is overexpressed in many cancers, but not present in general circulation.

[0319] The linker can be cleavable or non-cleavable. In some embodiments, the linker is cleavable. In such instances, the linker can be cleaved upon internalization of the anti- mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate into the tumor cell expressing mutCALR, thereby releasing the pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer, which is cytotoxic, into the tumor cell and minimizing its exposure to non-tumorigenic cells and tissues. In some embodiments, the linker is non-cleavable. In some embodiments, the non-cleavable linker comprises a maleimidocaproyl linker, a 4-maleimidomethyl cyclohexane-l-carboxylate linker, or both. In some embodiments, the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a cleavable linker, a non-cleavable linker, or both.

In some embodiments, the peptide linker comprises naturally occurring amino acids, non-naturally occurring amino acids, or a combination thereof.
[0321] In some embodiments, the linker comprises a functional group that reacts with a thiol group of an antibody to form an antibody-drug conjugate. Non-limiting examples of functional groups that are reactive with a thiol group of an antibody include bromoacetamide, disulfide, iodoacetamide, isocynate, isothiocynate, maleimide, pyridyl disulfide, and vinyl pyridine.
[0322] In some embodiments, the linker comprises a terminal maleimide group that can be used to conjugate the pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer to the anti-mutCALR antibody.

A spacer (e.g., a spacer described herein) can be included in the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugates described herein. In some embodiments, the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises a polyethylene glycol spacer, a sulfamide spacer, or a combination thereof.
[0327] In some embodiments, the linker provided herein is selected from a linker disclosed in any of U.S. Patent Nos.: 8,859,629, 9,636,421, 11,951,175, 11,168,085, 10,131,682, 10,456,479, 10,646,585, 10,975,112; U.S. Publication Nos.: 20230364262A1, 20230114866A1, 20230226208A1; International Publication No.: WO2024121123A1; and European Publication No.: 4450489A1, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

[0330] 90
[0331] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) In some embodiments, the anti-mutCALR antibody-drug conjugate comprises an anti- mutCALR antibody that is modified with a moiety that improves its stabilization and / or retention in circulation, e.g, in blood, serum, or other tissues, e.g, by at least 1.5, 2, 5, 10, or 50 fold. For example, the anti-mutCALR antibody can be associated with (e.g, conjugated to) a polymer, e.g, a substantially non-antigenic polymer, such as a polyalkylene oxide or a polyethylene oxide. Suitable polymers will vary substantially by weight. Polymers having molecular number average weights ranging from about 200 to about 35,000 Daltons (or about 1,000 to about 15,000, and 2,000 to about 12,500) can be used. For example, the anti- mutCALR antibody can be conjugated to a water soluble polymer, e.g. , a hydrophilic polyvinyl polymer, e.g, polyvinylalcohol or polyvinylpyrrolidone. Examples of such polymers include polyalkylene oxide homopolymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polypropylene gly cols, poly oxy ethylenated polyols, copolymers thereof and block copolymers thereof, provided that the water solubility of the block copolymers is maintained. Additional useful polymers include poly oxyalkylenes such as polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene, and block copolymers of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene; polymethacrylates; carbomers; and branched or unbranched polysaccharides.
[0332] The above-described modified antibodies can be prepared by performing chemical and / or enzymatic modifications on the antibodies, respectively, or the lower molecular weight forms thereof described herein. Methods for modifying antibodies are well known in the art (see, e.g., US 5,057,313 and US 5,156,840).
[0333] An antibody-drug conjugate described herein can include a drug loading of one or more pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers per anti-mutCALR antibody, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers per anti-mutCALR antibody. Drug loading refers to the average number of pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers per anti-mutCALR antibody.
[0334] Methods of Producing Antibodies
[0335] Antibodies described herein may be produced in bacterial or eukaryotic cells. Some antibodies, e.g., Fabs, can be produced in bacterial cells, e.g., E. coli cells. Antibodies can also be produced in eukaryotic cells such as transformed cell lines (e.g, CHO, 293E, COS). In addition, antibodies (e.g, scFvs) can be expressed in a yeast cell such as Pichia (see, e.g, Powers et al., J Immunol Methods. 251: 123-35 (2001)), Hansenula, or Saccharomyces . To produce the antibody of interest, a polynucleotide encoding the antibody is constructed, introduced into an expression vector, and then expressed in suitable host cells. Standard
[0336] 91
[0337] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) molecular biology techniques are used to prepare the recombinant expression vector, transfect the host cells, select for transformants, culture the host cells and recover the antibody.
[0338] If the antibody is to be expressed in bacterial cells (e.g, E. coli), the expression vector should have characteristics that permit amplification of the vector in the bacterial cells. Additionally, when E. coli such as JM109, DH5a, HB101, or XLl-Blue is used as a host, the vector must have a promoter, for example, a lacZ promoter (Ward et al., 341:544-546 (1989), araB promoter (Better et al., Science, 240: 1041-1043 (1988)), or T7 promoter that can allow efficient expression in E. coli. Examples of such vectors include, for example, M13-series vectors, pUC-series vectors, pBR322, pBluescript, pCR-Script, pGEX-5X-l (Pharmacia), “QIAexpress system” (QIAGEN), pEGFP, and pET (when this expression vector is used, the host is preferably BL21 expressing T7 RNA polymerase). The expression vector may contain a signal sequence for antibody secretion. For production into the periplasm of E. coli, the pelB signal sequence (Lei et al., J. Bacteriol., 169:4379 (1987)) may be used as the signal sequence for antibody secretion. For bacterial expression, calcium chloride methods or electroporation methods may be used to introduce the expression vector into the bacterial cell.
[0339] If the antibody is to be expressed in animal cells such as CHO, COS, and NIH3T3 cells, the expression vector includes a promoter necessary for expression in these cells, for example, an SV40 promoter (Mulligan et al., Nature, 277: 108 (1979)), MMLV-LTR promoter, EFla promoter (Mizushima et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 18:5322 (1990)), or CMV promoter. In addition to the nucleic acid sequence encoding the immunoglobulin or domain thereof, the recombinant expression vectors may carry additional sequences, such as sequences that regulate replication of the vector in host cells (e.g., origins of replication) and selectable marker genes. The selectable marker gene facilitates selection of host cells into which the vector has been introduced (see, e.g, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,399,216, 4,634,665 and 5,179,017). For example, typically the selectable marker gene confers resistance to drugs, such as G418, hygromycin, or methotrexate, on a host cell into which the vector has been introduced. Examples of vectors with selectable markers include pMAM, pDR2, pBK-RSV, pBK-CMV, pOPRSV, and pOP13.
[0340] In one embodiment, antibodies are produced in mammalian cells. Exemplary mammalian host cells for expressing an antibody include Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO cells) (including dhfr- CHO cells, described in Urlaub and Chasin (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:4216-4220, used with a DHFR selectable marker, e.g, as described in Kaufman and Sharp (1982) Mol. Biol. 159:601 621), human embryonic kidney 293 cells (e.g., 293,
[0341] 92
[0342] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 293E, 293T), COS cells, NIH3T3 cells, lymphocytic cell lines, e.g., NSO myeloma cells and SP2 cells, and a cell from a transgenic animal, e.g., a transgenic mammal. For example, the cell is a mammary' epithelial cell.
[0343] In an exemplary system for antibody expression, a recombinant expression vector encoding both the antibody heavy chain and the antibody light chain of an anti-mutCALR antibody is introduced into dhfr- CHO cells by calcium phosphate-mediated transfection. Within the recombinant expression vector, the antibody heavy and light chain genes are each operatively linked to enhancer / promoter regulatory elements e.g., derived from SV40, CMV, adenovirus and the like, such as a CMV enhancer / AdMLP promoter regulatory element or an SV40 enhancer / AdMLP promoter regulatory element) to drive high levels of transcription of the genes. The recombinant expression vector also carries a DHFR gene, which allows for selection of CHO cells that have been transfected with the vector using methotrexate selection / amplifi cation. The selected transformant host cells are cultured to allow for expression of the antibody heavy and light chains and the antibody is recovered from the culture medium.
[0344] Antibodies can also be produced by a transgenic animal. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,849,992 describes a method of expressing an antibody in the mammary gland of a transgenic mammal. A transgene is constructed that includes a milk-specific promoter and nucleic acids encoding the antibody of interest and a signal sequence for secretion. The milk produced by females of such transgenic mammals includes, secreted-therein, the antibody of interest. The antibody can be purified from the milk, or for some applications, used directly. Animals are also provided comprising one or more of the nucleic acids described herein.
[0345] The antibodies of the present disclosure can be isolated from inside or outside (such as from the medium) of the host cell and purified as substantially pure and homogenous antibodies. Methods for isolation and purification commonly used for antibody purification may be used for the isolation and purification of antibodies, and are not limited to any particular method. Antibodies may be isolated and purified by appropriately selecting and combining, for example, column chromatography, filtration, ultrafiltration, salting out, solvent precipitation, solvent extraction, distillation, immunoprecipitation, SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectnc focusing, dialysis, and recrystallization. Chromatography includes, for example, affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, gel filtration, reverse-phase chromatography, and adsorption chromatography (Strategies for Protein Purification and Charactenzation: A Laboratory Course Manual. Ed Daniel R. Marshak et al., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
[0346] 93
[0347] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Press, 1996). Chromatography can be carried out using liquid phase chromatography such as HPLC and FPLC. Columns used for affinity chromatography include protein A column and protein G column. Examples of columns using protein A column include Hyper D, POROS, and Sepharose FF (GE Healthcare Biosciences). The present disclosure also includes antibodies that are highly purified using these purification methods.

[0393] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) internalized. Internalization was measured by quantifying the area of fluorescent cells as a percentage of total cell area in the well. Proliferation was measured as the area of cells in each well (confluence) Plates were scanned hourly for 24h using the IncuCyte® live-cell analysis system.
[0394] Clone 74 (FIG. 1A), Clone 55 (FIG. IB), and Clone 6 (FIG. 1C) were internalized at the two highest concentrations (5 pg / mL and 2 pg / mL) tested in 4F2 cells, however, no internalization was observed in MPL6 cells. For each clone, antibody internalization was inhibited in the presence of dynasore (FIGs. 1A-1C). As shown in FIG. ID, proliferation of 4F2 cells, but not MPL6 cells, was inhibited in the presence of Clone 74, Clone 55, and Clone 6. No internalization or inhibition of cell proliferation was observed when cells were treated with the anti-mutCALR antibody B3 (FIG. IE and FIG. 1H) or the two isotype control antibodies (FIGs. 1F-1H).
[0395] Taken together, these results demonstrate that the anti-mutCALR antibodies Clone 74, Clone 55, and Clone 6 are internalized by cells expressing mutCALRde152and MPL, and that inhibition of proliferation of such cells by the anti-mutCALR antibodies is dependent upon antibody internalization.
[0396] Example 2: Antagonistic Effect of Anti-mutCALR Antibody is Dependent on Cell Internalization
[0397] Anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 74) was conjugated with Alexa Fluor™ 647 fluorophore using lysine amine chemistry. The resulting fluorophore to protein ratio was 5.53. Ba / F3-TPOR / CALRde152cells, which are also referred to as 4F2 cells or BAF3 / 4F2 cells, were added in an amount of 500 cells / well to a retronectin-coated plate (Greiner Bio-One) and incubated at 37 °C for three days. Cells were then treated with 0.2 pg / mL Alexa Fluor- 647-Clone-74 and fixed with 8 % paraformaldehyde (Electron Microscopy Sciences) at various time points. Cells were washed twice with PBS, incubated in 2 pg / mL Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Fisher) for 1 hour, followed by additional washing and addition of PBS. The plate was then scanned at 20X magnification using the Celllnsight™ CX7 LZR High Content Analysis Platform (Thermo Fisher). Nuclei stained with Hoechst 33342 were detected at 405 nm and used to identify cells and Alexa Fluor-647 -Clone-74 was detected at 650 nm. A minimum of 1000 cells from each well were analyzed. Representative data from each time point were compiled for display.
[0398] Alternatively, cells (5000 cells / well) were added to retronectin-coated, clear, cell culture plates (Coming) and incubated at 37 °C overnight. Clone 74 and isotype were labeled
[0399] 100
[0400] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) as a 20 pg / mL stock with IncuCyte® Human Fabfluor-pH antibody labeling dye (Sartorius) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were then pretreated with either 20 pM dynasore (EMD Millipore) or DMSO. Next, the labeled antibodies were added to a final concentration of 5 pg / mL and the plate was placed in the IncuCyte® S3 Live-Cell Analysis Instrument (Sartorius) and scanned at 10X magnification every hour for 24 hours using brightfield and red fluorescence to monitor proliferation and antibody internalization, respectively. Proliferation was calculated as cell confluence and expressed as percent. Antibody internalization was measured at the percentage of cells containing red fluorescence (internalized antibody) among the cell population, then normalized to the signal at time 0.
[0401] Internalization of Clone 74 in Ba / F3-CALRde152cells was time-dependent (FIG. 2A).
[0402] The endocytosis of Clone 74 was dynamin-dependent as the presence of the dynamin inhibitor dynasore completely abrogated the internalization of Clone 74 (FIG. 2B), abrogated mutCALR-induced inhibition of cell proliferation (FIG. 2C), and inhibited mutCALR- induced caspase activation (FIG. 2D). Dynasore treatment showed only a partial effect in reducing mutCALR-induced inhibition of pSTAT5 (FIG. 2E).
[0403] Internalization of Clone 74 was analyzed using confocal microscopy. Ba / F3- TPOR / CALRde152cells were treated with Alexa Fluor™-647-Clone-74 for 18 h and microscopy images were collected. As shown in FIG. 2F, confocal microscopy confirmed the complete endocytosis of Clone 74 at 18 hours post-cell treatment.
[0404] Confocal microscopy was also used to analyze co-localization of Clone 74 with the lysosomal marker LAMP-1. Ba / F3-TPOR / CALRde152cells were pre-treated with Alexa Fluor™-647-Clone-74 for 2 h on ice, followed by washing and additional incubation for 6 h at 37 °C. Lysosomal compartments were stained with anti-LAMP-1, and cells were evaluated by microscopy. As shown in FIG. 2G, confocal microscopy images showed that internalized Clone 74 co-localized with the lysosomal marker LAMP-1, suggesting that the Clone 74 / mutCALR / TPOR complex is localized to the cell lysosome upon endocytosis and is likely targeted for degradation.
[0405] Flow cytometry analysis of the surface expression of TPOR in the presence of anti- mutCALR antibody (Clone 74) or an isotype control was performed. Ba / F3-TPOR and Ba / F3-TPOR / mutCALRde152cells were treated overnight with 10 pg / mL of anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 74) or isotype and the surface expression of TPOR was analyzed by flow cytometry. As shown in FIG. 3A, flow cytometry analysis confirmed the Clone 74-induced internalization and degradation of TPOR in Ba / F3 cells expressing mutCALR.
[0406] 101
[0407] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Western blot analysis of TPOR and pSTAT5 expression in the presence of anti- mutCALR antibody (Clone 74) or an isotype control was performed. HAP1-JAK2 KO cells were transiently transfected with wtJAK2, TPOR and CALRde152, treated with 10 pg / mL of anti -mutC ALR antibody (Clone 74) or isotype for 2 h or overnight and then evaluated by Western blot regarding expression of TPOR and pSTAT5. P-actin staining was used as a protein loading control. As shown in FIG. 3B, Western blot analysis confirmed the Clone 74- induced internalization and degradation of TPOR in HAP1 cells expressing mutCALR.
[0408] Immunofluorescence analysis of internalization of TPOR / mutCALR complex upon anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 74) binding was performed. CD34+cells from a MF patient expressing CALRde152were treated with 2 pg / mL of anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 74) for 12 h. Internalization of TPOR was assessed by a fluorescence labeled TPOR antibody after cells were fixed and permeabilized. Treatment with 10 ng / ml of TPO was used as a positive control of TPOR internalization. Image analysis was performed using colocalization module in ZEN software on a pixel by pixel basis. Single label control samples were used to set up compensation crosshair. As shown in FIG. 3C, confocal microscopy analysis confirmed the Clone 74-induced internalization and degradation of TPOR in primary CD34+cells expressing mutCALR.
[0409] Taken together, these results demonstrate that the anti-mutCALR antibody Clone 74 is internalized and that the antagonistic effects of the antibody are dependent on its cellular internalization.
[0410] Example 3: Preparation of Anti-mutCALR Antibody-Drug Conjugates
[0411] This Example describes conjugation of an anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) or SG3249 (also known as tesirine).
[0412] MMAE Conjugation
[0413] Anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) and a control antibody were labelled with MMAE using a maleimide-activated valine-citruline p-aminobenzylcarbamate (VC-PAB) linker.

[0427] Concentration of antibody-drug conjugate was determined by spectroscopic absorbance at 280 nm. Drug-per-antibody ratio (DAR) was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC / MS) and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Characteristics of the antibody-drug conjugates are shown below:
[0428] Example 4: Improved Properties for Anti-mutCALR Antibody-Drug Conjugate Compared to Unconjugated Anti-mutCALR Antibody
[0429] The internalization rate of an anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) conjugated to SG3249 (referred to as Clone 6-PBD) and unconjugated Clone 6 was tested as described in
[0430] Examples 1-2. An isotype control antibody (Isotype-PBD) and unconjugated isotype control antibody were used as controls.
[0431] As shown in FIG. 4A, the internalization rate of Clone 6-PBD in cells expressing Type 1 mutant CALR was significantly increased compared to unconjugated Clone 6 or isotype controls. As shown in FIG. 4B, caspase induction in cells was significantly increased in the presence of Clone 6-PBD compared to unconjugated Clone 6 or isotype controls. As shown in FIG. 4C, increased inhibition of cell proliferation was observed in the presence of Clone 6-PBD compared to unconjugated Clone 6 or isotype controls.
[0432] 104
[0433] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Taken together, these results demonstrate that the anti-mutCALR antibody Clone 6 conjugated to PBD has improved internalization, caspase induction, and inhibition of cell proliferation compared to the unconjugated anti-mutCALR antibody.
[0434] Example 5: Anti-mutCALR Antibody Conjugated to PBD Increased Cell Killing Compared to Anti-mutCALR Antibody Conjugated to MMAE
[0435] Cell killing by an anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) conjugated to either SG3249 or monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) was tested. The conjugates were prepared as described in Example 3.
[0436] BAF3 / 4F2 cells (Type 1 mutant CALR) or BAF3 / 3D3 cells (Type 2 mutant CALR) were plated at 5000 cells / well in a 96-well plate. Cells were then treated with anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) conjugated to PBD or MMAE, an isotype control antibody conjugated to PBD or MMAE, or unconjugated anti-mutCALR antibody, for 72 hours. Following incubation, cells were mixed 1 : 1 with Cell Titer-Gio (Promega) and measured for luminescence via SpectraMAX plate reader. Percent viability was normalized to the viability of an IgGl control.
[0437] As shown in FIG. 5A, killing of cells expressing Type 1 mutant CALR was increased in the presence of Clone 6-PBD compared to unconjugated Clone 6 or isotype antibody conjugated to PBD. By contrast, as shown in FIG. 5B, cell killing was increased in the presence of unconjugated Clone 6 compared to Clone 6-MMAE or isotype antibody- conjugated to MMAE. Similar results were observed in cells expressing Type 2 mutant CALR (FIGs. 6A-6B). A summary of EC50 values for cell killing in the presence of Clone 6 conjugated to PBD or MMAE are shown below:
[0438] As shown in FIGs. 7A-7B, cell killing by anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) conjugated to PBD was equally potent in cells which were cultured either with 10 ng / mL thrombopoietin (TPO) (FIG. 7A) or without TPO (FIG. 7B). In contrast, the activity of unconjugated antibody was reduced in the presence of 10 ng / nL TPO (FIGs. 7A-7B). These
[0439] 105
[0440] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) data demonstrate that cell killing with the mutCALR antibody conjugated to PBD (Clone 6) is not dependent on the presence of 10 ng / mL TPO.
[0441] Taken together, these results demonstrate that the anti-mutCALR antibody Clone 6 conjugated to PBD more effectively kills cells with Type 1 or Type 2 mutant CALR than the anti-mutCALR antibody conjugated to MMAE or unconjugated anti-mutCALR antibody.
[0442] Example 6: Effect of Anti-mutCALR Antibody Conjugates in Mice Injected with Tumor Cells Expressing Type 1 Mutant CALR
[0443] To test the functional ability of an anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) conjugate in vivo, the antibody-drug conjugate was evaluated in a mouse model of tumor growth. Female NSG mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, were inoculated via tail vein with 1x105BA / F3 4F2 cells on Day 0. Six days following inoculation, the mice were either administered anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6)-PBD (single dose i.v. on Day 6), unconjugated Clone 6 (single dose i.v. on Day 6), unconjugated Clone 6 at 10 mg / kg i.p. (Day 6, 9, and 12), or ruxohtinib twice daily per orally for 7 days. Hematology analysis for tumor cells and platelet count was conducted on the Sysmex instrument.
[0444] As shown in FIG. 8A, tumor cell growth was inhibited in mice administered anti- mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) conjugated to PBD compared to mice administered dose matched unconjugated antibody. As shown in FIG. 8B, platelet count was increased in mice administered anti-mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) conjugated to PBD compared to mice administered dose matched unconjugated antibody. Platelet counts in mice administered anti- mutCALR antibody (Clone 6) were similar to mice administered ruxolitinib. As shown in FIG. 9, mice administered a single dose of Clone 6-PBD at 1 mg / kg exhibited increased survival compared to mice administered 3 doses of unconjugated antibody at 10 mg / kg.
[0445] Taken together, these results demonstrate that administration of the anti-mutCALR antibody Clone 6 conjugated to PBD inhibited tumor growth, increased platelet count, and prolonged survival of mice compared to administration of the unconjugated anti-mutCALR antibody.
