SELECTIVE DRUG RELEASE FROM CONJUGATES OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0002] This application claims priority to PCT Application PCT / CN2023 / 130153 filed on November 07, 2023, and PCT Application PCT / CN2024 / 125035 filed on October 15, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present disclosure relates to a compound of formula (X) , or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer, stereoisomer, enantiomer, diastereomer thereof, or a mixture thereof, and a conjugate containing the compound.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The invention relates to Drug Conjugate compounds and compositions thereof, including Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) and Ligand Drug Conjugates (LDCs) , that have improved selectivity for targeted cells in comparison to non-targeted cells. The invention also relates to Drugs and Drug-Linkers and compositions thereof, which are useful as part of the Drug Conjugate compounds.
[0005] Traditional ADCs and LDCs exhibit biological activity towards targeted cells, which display the targeted moiety that is recognized by the antibody or ligand moiety of the Conjugate, by binding to the targeted moiety and then entering into the cell by internalization of the bound Conjugate. Selectivity for the targeted cells over non-targeted cells is primarily achieved by a traditional ADCs and LDCs as a result of the targeted moiety being present in greater abundance on the targeted cells in comparison to non-targeted normal cells, which are cells not intended to be acted upon by the Conjugate. When conditional release of a conjugated compound, which is cytotoxic in free form, is to be affected by an intracellular protease internalization of bound Conjugate is followed by enzymatic processing of a peptide-based Linker Unit of the Conjugate. Reduction in premature release of the cytotoxic compound, which otherwise would cause undesired side effects, from traditional peptide-based ADCs and LDCs is accomplished by optimizing for selectivity for a specific lysosomal protease that is believed to be upregulated in cancer cells. As the protease responsible for intracellular processing of the traditional ADCs and LDCs is common to all cells, selectivity for the targeted cells is primarily due to the greater abundance of the targeted moiety on the cells intended to be acted upon by the Conjugate, notwithstanding the differing intracellular activity levels of the processing protease within targeted cancer cells and non-targeted normal cells. However, that approach does not take into consideration possible exposure differences of the released cytotoxic compound between tumor and normal tissue, which are presently exploited by the ADCs and LDCs of the present invention.
[0006] Thus, the peptide sequences of traditional ADCs and LDCs, which were designed to be selectively acted upon by an intracellular protease upregulated in cancer cells of the tumor tissue, are still capable of being acted upon by proteases confined within normal tissue. Such action can occur either within the microenvironment of the normal tissue or within cells of the normal tissue after immunologically specific or non-specific uptake into these cells, resulting in on-target or off-target toxicity, respectively. Those toxicities ear a more acute problem to be solved for targeted delivery of highly cytotoxic compounds. It is therefore believed a ADCs and LDCs with an improved peptide sequence that provides lower exposure to normal tissue in comparison to a traditional peptide-based ADCs and LDCs, and hence reduces exposure to a cytotoxic compound released therefrom, while maintaining the efficacy provided by these traditional conjugates, would improve tolerability to therapy.
[0007] It is further believed that a ADCs and LDCs having an improved peptide sequence that is more prone to proteolysis by tumor tissue over proteolysis by normal tissue in comparison to proteolysis of a traditional peptide-based ADCs and LDCs by these tissues would also decrease exposure to the released cytotoxic compound, which would contribute to improving tolerability to therapy. Determining those proteolytic differences using tissue homogenates should capture those differences driven by the microenvironment of these tissues and / or subsequent to cellular internalization.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] To provide the solution to that problem in the art, disclosed herein are ADCs and LDCs having peptide-based Linker Units whose sequences result in more selective exposure of targeted cells of the tumor effect to the cytotoxic compound released from the Conjugate in comparison to exposure of cells of normal tissue to the free cytotoxin such that tolerability to the Conjugate is improved while retaining the efficacy of the traditional peptide-based Conjugates. In treating cancer in mammalian subjects, that difference exposure may result from greater selectivity for proteolysis of ADCs and LDCs having the selectivity conferring peptide sequences within tumor tissue over proteolysis within normal tissue in comparison to proteolysis of the traditional peptide-based Conjugate. Because altering the peptide sequence may also affect the physiochemical properties of the Conjugate compound, greater exposure from improved biodistribution into tumor tissue and not normal tissue and / or improved disposition once distributed into these tissues, which preferentially retains the Conjugate compound in tumor tissue and / or preferentially eliminates the Conjugate compound from normal tissue, respectively, can occur. Those biodistribution effects may even become the dominant factors over preferential proteolysis, which could be difficult to observe in vivo.
[0009] Thus, Conjugate compounds having peptide sequences providing enhanced exposure of released free cytotoxic compounds to tumor tissue in comparison to normal tissue should exhibit reduced undesired toxicities due to the peptide sequences being overall less susceptible to proteolysis within normal tissue or cells thereof in comparison to those of the tumor and / or from improved pharmacokinetic properties for Conjugate compounds incorporating those peptide sequences that favor tumor tissue over normal tissue.

[0071] It is understood that any alkyl, alkoxyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, or the like, described herein can also be a divalent or multivalent group when used as a linkage to connect two or more groups or substituents, which can be at the same or different atom (s) . One of skill in the art can readily determine the valence of any such group from the context in which it occurs.
[0072] The term “optionally substituted” , as used herein, means that the referenced group may be substituted or unsubstituted. In one embodiment, the referenced group is optionally substituted with zero substituents, i.e., the referenced group is unsubstituted. In another embodiment, the referenced group is optionally substituted with one or more additional group (s) individually and independently selected from groups described herein.
[0073] The term “hydrogen” includes hydrogen and deuterium. In addition, the recitation of an atom includes other isotopes of that atom so long as the resulting compound is pharmaceutically acceptable.
[0074] Alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkylene, alkenylene, alkynylene, cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, and heteroaryl groups, as defined herein, are optionally substituted groups. In general, the term “substituted” , whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, means that at least one hydrogen present on a group (e.g., a carbon or nitrogen atom) is replaced with a permissible substituent, e.g., a substituent which upon substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, or other reaction. Unless otherwise indicated, a “substituted” group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted, the substituent is either the same or different at each position. The term “substituted” is contemplated to include substitution with all permissible substituents of organic compounds, any of the substituents described herein that results in the formation of a stable compound. For purposes of this invention, heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and / or any suitable substituent as described herein which satisfy the valencies of the heteroatoms and results in the formation of a stable moiety.

[0104] The compounds of this invention may be modified by appending appropriate functionalities to enhance selective biological properties. Such modifications are known in the art and may include those which increase biological penetration into a given biological system (e.g., blood, lymphatic system, central nervous system) , increase oral availability, increase solubility to allow administration by injection, alter metabolism and alter rate of excretion.
[0105] The compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R) -or (S) -or the mixture thereof, or as (D) -or (L) -for amino acids or the mixture thereof. The present invention is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optical isomers may be prepared from their respective optically active precursors by the procedures described above, or by resolving the racemic mixtures. The resolution can be carried out in the presence of a resolving agent, by chromatography or by repeated crystallization or by some combination of these techniques which are known to those skilled in the art. Further details regarding resolutions can be found in Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates, and Resolutions (John Wiley & Sons, 1981) . When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds, other unsaturation, or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers or cis-and trans-isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. Tautomers may be in cyclic or acyclic. The configuration of any carbon-carbon double bond appearing herein is selected for convenience only and is not intended to designate a particular configuration unless the text so states; thus, a carbon-carbon double bond or carbon-heteroatom double bond depicted arbitrarily herein as trans may be cis, trans, or a mixture of the two in any proportion.
[0106] Certain compounds of the present invention may also exist in different stable conformational forms which may be separable. Torsional asymmetry due to restricted rotation about an asymmetric single bond, for example because of steric hindrance or ring strain, may permit separation of different conformers.

[1069] III. Antibody
[1070] As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to an immunoglobulin molecule which has the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. An antibody often comprises a variable region and a constant region in each of a heavy chain and a light chain. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains of antibodies contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The constant regions of antibodies may mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (such as effector cells) and components of the complement system such as C1q, the first component in the classical pathway of complement activation. Most antibodies have a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL) that together form the portion of the antibody that binds to the antigen.
[1071] A “light chain variable region” (VL) or “heavy chain variable region” (VH) consists of four “framework” regions interrupted by three “complementarity determining regions” or “CDRs” . The framework regions serve to align the CDRs for specific binding to an epitope of an antigen. The CDRs include the amino acid residues of an antibody that are primarily responsible for antigen binding. From amino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus, both VL and VH domains comprise the following framework (FR) and CDR regions: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. CDRs 1, 2, and 3 of a VL domain are also referred to herein, respectively, as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3; CDRs 1, 2, and 3 of a VH domain are also referred to herein, respectively, as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3.
[1072] The term “antibody” as used herein should be understood in its broadest meaning, and includes monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies) , polyclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, and multi-specific antibodies containing at least two different antigen binding regions (e.g., bispecific antibodies) . The antibody may contain additional modifications, such as non-naturally occurring amino acids, mutations in Fc regions, and mutations in glycosylation sites. Antibodies also include post-translation modified antibodies, fusion proteins containing the antigenic determinants of the antibody, and immunoglobulin molecules containing any other modifications to antigen recognition sites, as long as these antibodies exhibit desired biological activity.
[1073] As used herein, the term “antigen binding fragment” of an antibody refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full-length antibody.
[1074] Examples of antigen binding fragment 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 Fab' fragment, which is essentially an Fab with part of the hinge region (see, FUNDAMENTALIMMUNOLOGY (Paul ed., 3. sup. rd ed. 1993) ) ; (iv) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (v) a Fd' fragment having VH and CH1 domains and one or more cysteine residues at the C-terminus of the CH1 domain; (vi) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody, (vii) a dAb fragment (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341: 544-546) , which consists of a VH domain; (viii) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR) ; and (ix) a nanobody, a heavy chain variable region containing a single variable domain and two constant domains. Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, V Land 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: 423-426; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85: 5879-5883) . Such single chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the term "antigen binding fragment" of an antibody. Furthermore, the term also includes a "linear antibody" comprising a pair of tandem Fd segments (VH-CH1-VH-CH1) , which forms an antigen binding region together with a complementary light chain polypeptide, and a modified version of any of the foregoing fragments, which retains antigen binding activity.
[1075] As used herein, the term “monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population. That is, each antibody constituting the population are the same, except for possible naturally occurring mutations in small amount. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific and are directed against a single antigen. The term "monoclonal antibody" herein is not limited to antibodies produced by hybridoma technology, and should not be interpreted as requiring production of antibodies by any specific method.
[1076] The term “bispecific antibody” is in the context of the present invention to be understood as an antibody having two different antigen-binding regions defined by different antibody sequences. This can be understood as different target binding but includes as well binding to different epitopes in one target.

[1137] VI. Pharmaceutical compositions
[1138] The present disclosure also provides a composition, e.g., a pharmaceutical composition, containing the conjugate of the present disclosure, formulated together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[1139] Therapeutic formulations of this disclosure can be prepared by mixing the conjugate having the desired degree of purity with optional physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers in the form of lyophilized formulations or aqueous solutions. Acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride; benzethonium chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-cresol) ; low molecular weight (less than about 10 amino acid residues) proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g., Zn-protein complexes) ; and / or non-ionic surfactants such as Tween, Pluronics, or PEG.
[1140] The formulation may also contain more than one active compound as necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other. For instance, the formulation may further comprise another antibody or bispecific antibody, cytotoxic agent, chemotherapeutic agent or ADC. Such molecules are suitably present in combination in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended.
[1141] The active ingredients may also be entrapped in microcapsule prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsule and poly- (methylmethacylate) microcapsule, respectively, in colloidal drug delivery systems (for example, liposomes, albumin microspheres, microemulsions, nano-particles and nanocapsules) or in macroemulsions. Such techniques are disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980) .
[1142] Pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure can be administered in combination therapy, i.e., combined with other agents. Examples of therapeutic agents that can be used in combination therapy are described in greater detail below.
[1143] The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. This can be readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes. Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by sterilization microfiltration. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle that contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying (lyophilization) that yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
[1144] VII. Dosage
[1145] The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the subject being treated, and the particular mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be that amount of the composition which produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of one hundred percent, this amount will range from about 0.01%to about 99%of active ingredient, preferably from about 0.1%to about 70%, most preferably from about 1%to about 30%of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[1146] Dosage regimens are adjusted to provide the optimum desired response (e.g., a therapeutic response) . For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. It is especially advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects to be treated; each unit contains a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms of the disclosure are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of sensitivity in individuals.
[1147] For administration of the conjugate of this disclosure, the dosage ranges from about 0.0001 to 100 mg / kg, and more usually 0.01 to 50 mg / kg, of the host body weight. For example, dosages can be 0.3 mg / kg body weight, 1 mg / kg body weight, 3 mg / kg body weight, 5 mg / kg body weight or 10 mg / kg body weight or within the range of 1-10 mg / kg. An exemplary treatment regime entails administration daily, twice per week, once per week, once every two weeks, once every three weeks, once every four weeks, once a month, once every 3 months or once every three to 6 months. Preferred dosage regimens for conjugate of the disclosure include 1 mg / kg body weight or 3 mg / kg body weight via intravenous administration, with the conjugate being given using one of the following dosing schedules: (i) every four weeks for six dosages, then every three months; (ii) every three weeks; (iii) 3 mg / kg body weight once followed by 1 mg / kg body weight every three weeks.
[1148] Alternatively, conjugate can be administered as a sustained release formulation, in which case less frequent administration is required. Dosage and frequency vary depending on the half-life of the conjugate in the patient. In general, human antibodies show the longest half-life, followed by humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, and nonhuman antibodies. The dosage and frequency of administration can vary depending on whether the treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic. In prophylactic applications, a relatively low dosage is administered at relatively infrequent intervals over a long period of time. Some patients continue to receive treatment for the rest of their lives. In therapeutic applications, a relatively high dosage at relatively short intervals is sometimes required until progression of the disease is reduced or terminated, and preferably until the patient shows partial or complete amelioration of symptoms of disease. Thereafter, the patient can be administered a prophylactic regime.
[1149] Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient. The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of pharmacokinetic factors including the activity of the particular compositions of the present disclosure employed, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and / or materials used in combination with the particular compositions employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts.
[1150] A “therapeutically effective dosage” of an ADC of the disclosure preferably results in a decrease in severity of disease symptoms, an increase in frequency and duration of disease symptom-free periods, or a prevention of impairment or disability due to the disease affliction. For example, for the treatment of tumors, a “therapeutically effective dosage” preferably inhibits cell growth or tumor growth or metastasis by at least about 20%, more preferably by at least about 40%, even more preferably by at least about 60%, and still more preferably by at least about 80%relative to untreated subjects. The ability of an agent or compound to inhibit tumor growth can be evaluated in an animal model system predictive of efficacy in human tumors. Alternatively, this property of a composition can be evaluated by examining the ability of the compound to inhibit, such inhibition in vitro by assays known to the skilled practitioner. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic compound can decrease tumor size, metastasis, or otherwise ameliorate symptoms in a subject. One of ordinary skill in the art would be able to determine such amounts based on such factors as the subject’s size, the severity of the subject’s symptoms, and the particular composition or route of administration selected.
[1151] VIII. Administration
[1152] A composition of the disclosure can be administered via one or more routes of administration using one or more of a variety of methods known in the art. As will be appreciated by the skilled artisan, the route and / or mode of administration will vary depending upon the desired results. Preferred routes of administration for conjugate of the disclosure include intravenous, intramuscular, intradermal, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, spinal or other parenteral routes of administration, for example by injection or infusion. The phrase “parenteral administration” as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, epidural and intrasternal injection and infusion. Alternatively, a conjugate of the disclosure can be administered via a non-parenteral route, such as a topical, epidermal or mucosal route of administration, for example, intranasally, orally, vaginally, rectally, sublingually or topically.
[1153] The active compounds can be prepared with carriers that will protect the compound against rapid release, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants, transdermal patches, and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Many methods for the preparation of such formulations are patented or generally known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Sustained and Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems, J. R. Robinson, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1978.
[1154] Therapeutic compositions can be administered with medical devices known in the art. For example, a therapeutic composition of the disclosure can be administered with a needleless hypodermic injection device, such as the devices disclosed in US 5399163, US 5383851, US 5312335, US 5064413, US 4941880, US 4790824, and US 4596556. Examples of well-known implants and modules useful in the present disclosure include those described in US 4487603, US 4486194, US 4447233, US 4447224, US 4439196, and US 4475196. These patents are incorporated herein by reference. Many other such implants, delivery systems, and modules are known to those skilled in the art.

[1160] Non-limiting examples of preferred autoimmune diseases to be treated include systemic sclerosis and atherosclerosis.
[1161] In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to treatment of a subject in vivo using the above-described conjugate such that growth and / or metastasis of cancerous tumors is inhibited. In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a method of inhibiting growth and / or restricting metastatic spread of tumor cells in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a conjugate.
[1162] As used herein, the term “subject” is intended to include human and non-human animals. Non-human animals include all vertebrates, e.g., mammals and non-mammals, such as non-human primates, sheep, dogs, cats, cows, horses, chickens, amphibians, and reptiles, although mammals are preferred, such as non-human primates, sheep, dogs, cats, cows and horses. Preferred subjects include human patients in need of enhancement of an immune response. The methods are particularly suitable for treating human patients having a disorder that can be treated by augmenting the immune response.
[1163] The above treatment may also be combined with standard cancer treatments. For example, it may be effectively combined with chemotherapeutic regimes. In these instances, it may be possible to reduce the dose of chemotherapeutic reagent administered (Mokyr, M. et al. Cancer Res., 1998, 58, 5301–5304) .
[1164] Other antibodies which may be used to activate host immune responsiveness can be used in or with the bispecific molecule drug conjugate of this disclosure. These include molecules targeting on the surface of dendritic cells which activate DC function and antigen presentation. For example, anti-CD40 antibodies are able to substitute effectively for T cell helper activity (Ridge, J. et al. Nature, 1998, 393, 474–478) and can be used in conjunction with the bispecific molecule drug conjugate of this disclosure (Ito, N. et al. Immunobiology, 2000, 201, 527–540) . Similarly, antibodies targeting T cell costimulatory molecules such as CTLA-4 (US 5811097) , CD28 (Haan, J. et al. Immunol. Lett., 2014, 162, 103–112) , OX-40 (Weinberg, A. et al. J. Immunol., 2000, 164, 2160–2169) , 4-1BB (Melero, I. et al. Nature Med., 1997, 3, 682–685) , and ICOS (Hutloff, A. et al. Nature, 1999, 397, 262–266) or antibodies targeting PD-1 (US 8008449) and PD-L1 (US 7943743; US 8168179) may also provide for increased levels of T cell activation. In another example, the bispecific molecule drug conjugate of this disclosure can be used in conjunction with anti-neoplastic antibodies, such as RITUXAN (rituximab) , HERCEPTIN (trastuzumab) , BEXXAR (tositumomab) , ZEVALIN (ibritumomab) , CAMPATH (alemtuzumab) , LYMPHOCIDE (eprtuzumab) , AVASTIN (bevacizumab) , and TARCEVA (erlotinib) , and the like.
