ANTI-FGFR2b IMMUNOCONJUGATES AND THEIR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCERFieldThe present invention relates to immunoconjugates such as antibody-drug conjugates having an antitumor drug conjugated to an anti-FGFR2b antibody via a linker structure moiety, the conjugate being useful as an antitumor drug.Cross Reference to Related ApplicationsThis application claims benefit to PCT Application No. PCT / CN2023 / 131571, filed November 14, 2023, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BackgroundTargeted therapies interfering with oncogenic driver alterations have achieved great success in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) with BCR-ABL fusions, melanoma with BRAF V600E mutations, lung cancer with EGFR mutations, breast cancer with HER2 amplification, and the like. However, types of cancers with specific driver gene alterations are limited (Francavilla C, O'Brien CS. Fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling dysregulation and targeting in breast cancer. Open Biol. 2022 Feb; 12 (2) : 210373. ) . The development of novel therapeutics targeting other cancer driver alterations is extremely urgent to improve patients’ prognosis.Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) are single-pass transmembrane proteins, whose overexpression is associated with breast and other cancers and decreased disease-free survival (Templeton AJ, Diez-Gonzalez L, Ace O, Vera-Badillo F, Seruga B, Jordán J, Amir E, Pandiella A, A. Prognostic relevance of receptor tyrosine kinase expression in breast cancer: a meta-analysis. Cancer Treat Rev. 2014 Oct; 40 (9) : 1048-55, and Butti R, Das S, Gunasekaran VP, Yadav AS, Kumar D, Kundu GC. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in breast cancer: signaling, therapeutic implications and challenges. Mol Cancer. 2018 Feb 19; 17 (1) : 34. ) . Upon ligand stimulation, RTKs activate several pathways, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) , Janus kinase (JAK) / signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) , phospholipase C gamma (PLCγ) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3–K) (Lemmon MA, Schlessinger J. Cell signaling by receptor tyrosine kinases. Cell. 2010 Jun 25; 141 (7) : 1117-34. ) . RTK signalling regulates the response of cancer cells to perturbation of the extracellular environment, composed of fibroblasts, adipocytes, immune cells, and proteins of the extracellular matrix and of the extended vasculature.Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) and their isoforms are known to be one kind of RTK. Upon binding of FGF and specific cofactors, dimerization of the FGFR kinase domain induces the phosphorylation of tyrosine (Y) residues leading to full receptor activation and phosphorylation and recruitment of adaptor proteins. The FGFRs are characterized by multiple alternative splicing of their mRNAs, leading to a variety of isoforms (Ornitz et al, J. Biol. Chem. 271: 15292, 1996; see also Swiss-Prot P21802 and isoforms P21802-1 to -20 for sequences of FGFR2 and its isoforms) , wherein the FGFR2IIIb form of FGFR2 (also denoted K-sam-II) is a high affinity receptor for both FGF1 and FGF family members (FGF7, FGF 10, and FGF22)Because of the expression patterns of the isoforms of FGFR2 and their ligands, FGFR2 plays a role in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions (Finch et al, Dev. Dyn. 203: 223, 1995) , e.g., mediating the affections from the tumor microenvironment to facilitate increasing developmental abnormalities or cancer progression. As reported, KGF (FGF7) and KGFR (FGFR2IIIb) are overexpressed in many pancreatic cancers and breast cancers (Ishiwata et al, Am. J. Pathol. 153: 213, 1998, and Francavilla C, O'Brien CS. Fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling dysregulation and targeting in breast cancer. Open Biol. 2022 Feb; 12 (2) : 210373. ) , and their coexpression correlates with poor prognosis (Cho et al, Am. J. Pathol. 170: 1964, 2007) . Somatic mutations of the FGFR2 gene were found in 12%of a large panel of endometrial (uterine) carcinomas, and in several tested cases were required for tumor cell survival (Dutt et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 105: 8713, 2008) . In two tumors the FGFR2 mutation was found to be the same S252W substitution associated with Apert syndrome. Amplification and overexpression of FGFR2 is associated with the undifferentiated, diffuse type of gastric cancer, which has a particularly poor prognosis (Kunii et al, Cancer Res. 68: 2340, 2008; Nakamura et al, Gastroenterol. 131: 1530, 2006) .Antibodies capable of binding to FGFR2b with high affinity and blocking the signaling of FGFR2b are expected to be effective in targeting the receptors and thus in the treatment of relevant cancers. However, despite the clinical success of therapeutic antibodies, naked MAbs targeting cell surface tumor antigens rarely present sufficient efficacy on their own. To increase the low activity of the MAbs, novel strategies are focusing on binding them to toxic molecules. Plant and bacterial toxins as well as small chemotherapeutic molecules can be good candidates, since they are very potent and active in very small quantities.The field of immunoconjugates, such as immunotoxins (ITs) and Antibody-Drug conjugates (ADCs) , for the treatment of cancer has recently experienced a growing development activity by pharmaceutical companies, due to the technological advances performed during the last years, aimed at solving the problems they initially presented about immunogenicity, undesirable toxicity, production, half-life and resistance.Despite these advances, there remains an unmet need for further therapeutic strategies for the treatment of tumors, and for components for use in such therapeutic strategies, especially for an antibody that is capable of binding to FGFR2b with high affinity and specificity and low immunogenicity and for immunoconjugates with high activity, low toxicity, and long half-life. The present invention addresses these and other needs.Summary of InventionThe present invention provides immunoconjugates targeting FGFR2b or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof, and methods for preparing and using same, including a method for treating FGFR2b-related diseases or conditions, such as cancer.In one aspect, the present invention provides an immunoconjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, comprising an antibody conjugated to a payload, wherein said antibody is an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to FGFR2b.In some embodiments, the immunoconjugate of the present invention may be antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) , Immune stimulator antibody conjugates (ISAC) , antibody–oligonucleotide conjugates (AOC, or oligonucleotide-conjugated antibody) , antibody peptide conjugates (APC) , antibody-peptide epitope conjugates (APEC) , radionuclide drug conjugates (RDC) or antibody degraducer conjugates (ADeC) , or the like.In some embodiments, the antibody component of the immunoconjugate is a monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that selectively binds to an extracellular region of human FGFR2b.

In some embodiments, a human FGFR2b refers to a mature FGFR2b identical to the amino acid sequence as set forth under the accession number Uniprot#P21802 (amino acid residues 1-21 being the leader peptide) , or a fragment thereof (such as an extracellular domain comprising AA 22-377 thereof) . In some embodiments, the term also covers a fusion protein comprising FGFR2b or a fragment thereof (such as an extracellular domain thereof) , such as a fusion protein comprising a human FGFR2b extracellular domain and an Fc region.The term “FGFR2b ligand” or “FGF7 / 10” as used herein refers to the native ligand of FGFR2b, or a functional variant thereof.The term "antibody" broadly refers to any immunoglobulin (Ig) molecule comprised of four polypeptide chains, two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains, or any antigen binding fragment, mutant, variant, or derivation thereof, which retains the essential epitope binding features of an Ig molecule. Such mutant, variant, or derivative antibody formats are known in the art and non-limiting embodiments are discussed below. The term “antibody” as used herein may refer to any form of antibody having a desirable bioactivity. Therefore, it is used in the broadest sense, including but not limited to a monoclonal antibody (including a full-length monoclonal antibody) , a polyclonal antibody, a multispecific antibody (such as a bispecific antibody) , a humanized antibody, a fully human antibody, a chimeric antibody, a CrossMab antibody, or a camelized single-domain antibody. The antibody in the present invention can be of any isotype (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA and IgY) , class (e.g., IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl and IgA2) or subclass.The term "anti-FGFR2b antibody" or "an antibody that (specially) binds to FGFR2b" refers to an antibody that is capable of binding FGFR2b with sufficient affinity such that the antibody is useful as a diagnostic and / or therapeutic agent in targeting FGFR2b. Preferably, the extent of binding of an anti-FGFR2b antibody to an unrelated, non-FGFR2b protein is less than about 10%of the binding of the antibody to FGFR2b as measured, e.g., by a radioimmunoassay (RJA) . In certain embodiments, an antibody that binds to FGFR2b has a dissociation constant (Kd) of < 1 μM, < 100 nM, < 10 nM, < 1 nM, or < 0.1 nM. In certain embodiments, anti-FGFR2b antibody binds to an epitope of FGFR2b that is conserved among FGFR2b from different species.The terms “antagonistic anti-FGFR2b antibody” , “FGFR2b inhibitor” , “FGFR2b antagonist antibody” , “antagonist FGFR2b antibody” and “FGFR2b antibody antagonist” , are used interchangeably herein. These terms include antibodies capable of inhibiting and / or blocking FGFR2b-mediated biological signal transduction activity. In some embodiments, an FGFR2b antagonist antibody inhibits or suppresses the signal transduction pathway triggered by FGFR2b, and / or inhibits or reduces an FGFR2b-mediated cellular response such as cancer cell proliferation or cancer cell survival, for example by blocking the binding of FGFR2b to an FGFR2b ligand or substantially reducing the binding of FGFR2b to an FGFR2b ligand.The term “FGFR2b-related disease or condition” as used herein refers to a non-physiological state related to the expression or function or activity of FGFR2b, or to the activity of FGFR2b-mediated signal transduction, including but not limited to cancers.An "isolated antibody" is one which has been identified and separated and / or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials which would interfere with therapeutic uses for the antibody, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In preferred embodiments, the antibody will be purified (1) to greater than 95%by weight of antibody as determined by the Lowry method, and most preferably more than 99%by weight, (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least 15 residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under reducing or nonreducing conditions using Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain. Isolated antibody includes the antibody in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the antibody's natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated antibody will be prepared by at least one purification step.The basic 4-chain antibody unit is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein composed of two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy (H) chains (an IgM antibody consists of 5 of the basic heterotetramer unit along with an additional polypeptide called J chain, and therefore contain 10 antigen binding sites, while secreted IgA antibodies can polymerize to form polyvalent assemblages comprising 2-5 of the basic 4-chain units along with J chain) . In the case of IgGs, the 4-chain unit is generally about 150, 000 daltons. Each L chain is linked to a H chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the two H chains are linked to each other by one or more disulfide bonds depending on the H chain isotype. Each H and L chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bridges. Each H chain has at the N-terminus, a variable domain (VH) followed by three constant domains (CH) for each of the α and γ chains and four CH domains for μ and ε isotypes. Each L chain has at the N-terminus, a variable domain (VL) followed by a constant domain (CL) at its other end. The VL is aligned with the VH and the CL is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain (CH1) . Particular amino acid residues are believed to form an interface between the light chain and heavy chain variable domains. The pairing of a VH and VL together forms a single antigen-binding site. For the structure and properties of the different classes of antibodies, see, e.g., Basic and Clinical Immunology, 8th edition, Daniel P. Stites, Abba I. Terr and Tristram G. Parslow (eds. ) , Appleton &Lange, Norwalk, CT, 1994, page 71 and Chapter 6.The terms “whole antibody” , “full-length antibody” and “intact antibody” are used interchangeably herein and refer to a glycoprotein comprising at least two heavy chains (H) and two light chains (L) interconnected by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (hereinafter abbreviated as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region consists of 3 domains CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (hereinafter abbreviated as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region consists of one domain CL. The VH region and VL region can be further divided into hypervariable regions (termed complementary determining region (CDR) ) , interspersed with more conservative regions (termed framework region (FR) ) . A “complementary determining region” or “CDR region” or “CDR” is a region in an antibody variable domain, which is hypervariable in sequence and forms a structurally defined loop ( “hypervariable loop” ) and / or contains antigen-contacting residues ( “antigen contact sites” ) . CDR is mainly responsible for binding to epitopes. CDRs of heavy chain and light chain are generally called CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3, which are numbered sequentially from the N-terminus. The CDRs located in an antibody heavy chain variable domain are called HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 respectively, while the CDRs located in the antibody light chain variable domain are called LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3 respectively. Each VH or VL consists of three CDRs and 4 FRs, which are arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. Constant regions are not directly involved in the binding of an antibody to an antigen, but show multiple effector functions.The term “antibody fragment” comprise at least a portion of a full-length antibody. In preferred embodiments, the antibody fragment is the antigen-binding fragment.The term “antigen-binding fragment” of an antibody as used herein includes fragments or derivatives of the antibody. Generally, the antigen-binding fragment includes at least one fragment (such as one or more CDRs) of the antigen-binding region or variable region of the antibody, and maintains at least some of the binding properties of the antibody. Examples of an antigen-binding fragment include, but are not limited to Fab, Fab', F (ab') 2 and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules (e.g., sc-Fv) ; and nanobodies and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. When the antigen-binding activity is expressed in molar concentration, the binding fragments or derivatives generally maintain at least 10%of the antigen-binding activity of the antibody from which they are derived. Preferably, the binding fragments or derivatives maintain at least 20%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%or 100%or more of the antigen binding activity of the antibody from which they are derived.An "antigen" is a predetermined molecular to which an immune response may be induced, involving the elicitation of the antibody and / or immune cells which selectively recognize and / or bind the antigen. The target antigen may be polypeptide, carbohydrate, nucleic acid, lipid, hapten or other naturally occurring or synthetic compound. Preferably, the target antigen is a polypeptide.In a given VH or VL amino acid sequence, the accurate amino acid sequence boundary of each CDR can be determined by using any one of the various well known schemes or a combination thereof, including, for example: Chothia scheme (Chothia et al., Canonical Structures for the Hypervariable Regions of Immunoglobulins” , Journal of Molecular Biology, 196, 901-917 (1987) ) ; Kabat scheme (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 4th edition, U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (1987) ) , AbM (University of Bath) and Contact (University College London) ; North scheme (North et al., A New Clustering of Antibody CDR Loop Conformations” , Journal of Molecular Biology, 406, 228-256 (2011) ) . The boundary of the CDRs of the anti-FGFR2b antibody in the present invention can be determined according to any schemes or a combination thereof in the art and manual evaluation.The residues from each of these CDR regions by different schemes are noted below.CDR could also be determined based on identical Kabat numbering positions with reference CDR sequences (e.g., any one of exemplified CDRs of the present invention) .Unless otherwise stated, the term “CDR” or “CDR sequence” used herein encompasses those determind by any of described manners.In one embodiment, the amino acid sequence boundaries of the heavy variable region CDRs and light variable region CDRs of the antibody of the present invention are determined by using Kabat scheme.It should be noted that the boundary of CDR of the variable region of the same antibody obtained by different definition systems may be different. That is, the CDR sequences of the variable region of the same antibody defined by different assignment systems are different. Therefore, when it comes to defining an antibody with a specific CDR sequence as defined in the present invention, the scope of the antibody also covers an antibody, the variable region sequence of which comprises the specific CDR sequence, but with a designated CDR boundary different from the one specified in the present invention for the specific CDR sequence, due to the application of different schemes (such as different definition systems or combinations thereof) .Antibodies with different specificities (i.e., different binding sites for different antigens) have different CDRs. However, although CDR is different from antibody to antibody, only a limited number of amino acid positions in CDR are directly involved in antigen binding. The minimum overlapping region can be determined using at least two of the Kabat, Chothia, AbM and North schemes to provide a “smallest binding unit” for antigen binding. The smallest binding unit can be a subset of CDR residues. As is appreciated by a person skilled in the art, the residues of the rest of the CDR sequence can be determined according to the structure and protein folding of the antibody. Therefore, the present invention also contemplates any variants of the CDR presented herein. In some embodiments, in a variant of CDR of the anti-FGFR2b antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof of the present invention, the amino acid residues of the smallest binding unit remain unchanged, while the other CDR residues as defined according to Kabat or IMGT can be replaced by conservative amino acid residues.The term “Fc region” as used herein is used to define the C-terminal region of an immunoglobulin heavy chain that comprises at least a portion of the constant region. The term includes native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. The native-sequence Fc region covers a variety of naturally occurring immunoglobulin Fc sequences, such as various Ig subtypes and allogeneic Fc regions thereof (Gestur Vidarsson et al., IgG subclasses and allotypes: from structure to effector functions, 20 October 2014, doi: 10.3389 / fimmu. 2014.00520) . In one embodiment, the Fc region of the human IgG heavy chain extends from Cys226 or from Pro230 to the carboxyl terminus of the heavy chain. However, the lysine at the C-terminus (Lys447) of Fc region may or may not be present. Unless otherwise specified herein, amino acid residues in Fc region or constant region are numbered in accordance with the EU numbering system, also referred to EU index, as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th edition Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991.An “antibody in the form of IgG” means the heavy chain constant region of the antibody is of an IgG form. For example, an antibody in the form of IgG2 means that the heavy chain constant region thereof is of IgG2 isotype.As is known to a person skilled in the art, an antibody may have a sugar chain found in the cells for producing the antibody. For example, when produced in mice, in mouse cells, or in hybridomas derived from mouse cells, the antibody may contain a mouse sugar chain. Alternatively, when produced in rats, in rat cells, or in hybridomas derived from rat cells, the antibody may contain a rat sugar chain.In one aspect, the antibody provided herein is modified to increase or decrease the degree of glycosylation of the antibody. The addition or deletion of the glycosylation sites of an antibody can be conveniently achieved by changing the amino acid sequence to produce or remove one or more glycosylation sites. Glycosylation can be changed, for example, to increase affinity of the antibody for the “antigen” . Such carbohydrate modification can be accomplished, for example, by changing one or more glycosylation sites within the antibody sequence. For example, one or more amino acid substitutions can be made, which results in the elimination of one or more variable region framework glycosylation sites, thereby eliminating glycosylation at this site. This aglycosylation can increase affinity of the antibody for the antigen. Such a method is described in, for example, U. S. Patent No. 5,426, 300. When the antibody comprises an Fc region, the saccharides attached to same can be changed. In some applications, modifications to remove undesired glycosylation sites are useful, such as removal of fucose modules to improve antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) functions. In other applications, galactosylation modification can be made to modify complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) .With regard to the binding of an antibody to a target molecule, the term "selectively binds to” , "specific binding" or "specifically binds to" or is "specific for" a particular polypeptide or an epitope on a particular polypeptide target means binding that is measurably different from a non-specific interaction. Specific binding can be measured, for example, by determining binding of a molecule compared to binding of a control molecule, which generally is a molecule of similar structure that does not have binding activity. For example, specific binding can be determined by competition with a control molecule that is similar to the target, for example, an excess of non-labeled target. In this case, specific binding is indicated if the binding of the labeled target to a probe is competitively inhibited by excess unlabeled target. The term "selectively binds to” , "specific binding" or "specifically binds to" or is "specific for" a particular polypeptide or an epitope on a particular polypeptide target as used herein can be exhibited, for example, by a molecule having a Kd for the target of at least about 10*M, alternatively at least about 105 M, alternatively at least about 106 M, alternatively at least about 107 M, alternatively at least about 108 M, alternatively at least about 109 M, alternatively at least about 1010 M, alternatively at least about 1011M, alternatively at least about 1012 M, or greater. In one embodiment, the term "specific binding" refers to binding where a molecule binds to a particular polypeptide or epitope on a particular polypeptide without substantially binding to any other polypeptide or polypeptide epitope.The term "alkyl" as used herein refers to a saturated linear or branched-chain monovalent hydrocarbon radical of one to twelve carbon atoms (C1-C12) , wherein the alkyl radical may be optionally substituted independently with one or more substituents described below.

The counter ion may be any organic or inorganic moiety that stabilizes the charge on the parent compound. Furthermore, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may have more than one charged atom in its structure. Instances where multiple charged atoms are part of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have multiple counter ions. Hence, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have one or more charged atoms and / or one or more counter ion.As used herein, the term “solvate” means a compound which further includes a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of solvent such as water, isopropanol, acetone, ethanol, methanol, DMSO, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and ethanolamine dichloromethane, 2-propanol, or the like, bound by non-covalent intermolecular forces.The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" indicates that the substance or composition must be compatible chemically and / or toxicologically, with the other ingredients comprising a formulation, and / or the mammal being treated therewith.The term “drug-to-antibody ratio” or “DAR” can refer to the number of payloads (also referred to herein as therapeutic molecules, therapeutic agents, or therapeutic moieties, e.g., drugs) , attached to an anti-FGFR2b antibody or antigen binding fragments thereof, of the immunoconjugates (e.g., the ADCs) disclosed herein. The DAR of an immunoconjugate typically ranges from 1 to 12, although higher loads, e.g., 16, are also possible depending on the number of linkage sites on an antibody or the use of multivalent linkages in which multiple drug payloads are attached to one linkage site. The term DAR may be used in reference to the number of drug molecules loaded onto an individual antibody, or, alternatively, may be used in reference to the average or mean DAR of a group of ADCs to reflect average drug loading. Compositions, batches, and / or formulations of a plurality of ADCs may be characterized by an average DAR. DAR and average DAR can be determined by various conventional means such as UV spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, ELISA assay, radiometric methods, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) , electrophoresis and HPLC.

The small molecules include but are not limited to inorganic molecules, organic molecules, organic molecules containing an inorganic component, molecules containing a radioactive atom, synthetic molecules, peptide mimics and antibody mimics. As therapeutic agents, small molecules are better able to penetrate cell membranes than large molecules, are less susceptible to degradation, and are less likely to trigger an immune response.The term “immunomodulator” as used herein refers to a natural or synthetic active agent or drug that modulates (e.g., suppresses or enhances) an immune response. The immune response can be a humoral response or a cellular response. In some instances, an immunomodulator includes an immunosuppressant that inhibits an immune response, for example, an immunosuppressant that beneficially inhibits an immune response in inflammation and autoimmune diseases.

ImmunoconjugatesThe term “immunoconjugate” refers to a recombinant compound molecule wherein an antibody is conjugated (joined) to a second unit (payload) . Typically, immunoconjugates comprise or consist of two or three separate components: an antibody that binds to an antigen with high specificity, a payload (an effector unit) that has a high bioactivity at the target, and optionally a linker that will ensure the payload does not separate from the antibody during transit and will reliably release the payload at the target or not.Especially when the payload is, e.g., a cytotoxic agent, such as a chemo therapeutic agent, a growth inhibitory agent, a toxin (e.g., an enzymatically active toxin of bacterial, fungal, plant, or animal origin, or fragments thereof) , or a radioactive isotope (i.e., a radio conjugate) , the immunoconjugate may be also known as an “antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) ” ..An immunoconjugate (or "antibody-drug conjugate" ( "ADC" ) ) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof of the invention may be of Formula I, below, wherein an antibody is conjugated (i.e., covalently attached) to one or more drug moieties (D) through an optional linker (L) :Ab- (L- (D) r) P (I), wherein :Ab is an antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof that selectively binds to FGFR2b (e.g., human FGFR2b) ;L is a linker;D is a drug, including a prodrug, preferably an antitumor compound;r is 1 to 5, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, preferably 1 or 2;p is 1 to 20, e.g., 1-9.2-8, 3-7, 4-6, 2-6, 3-4, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.● Anti-FGFR2b AntibodyIn some cases in accordance with this and other aspects of the present invention the antibody component is a monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that selectively binds to an extracellular region of human FGFR2b. In some case, Ab may be cross-react to human, cynomolgous, rat and / or murine FGFR2b.In some embodiments, the antibody component is human antibody or humanized antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody component is a full-length antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody component is antibody fragment, preferably antigen-binding fragment, e.g., a single-domain antibody such as a VHH, a Fab, a Fab’ , a Fab’ -SH, a (Fab’ ) 2, a single-chain antibody such as a scFv, a Fv, a dAb (domain antibody) .In some embodiments, the antibody component is a bi-specific antibody, or a multi-specific antibody.In some embodiments, the antibody component comprises a heavy chain (HC) constant region, preferably a human heavy chain constant region, for example, α heavy chain (IgA) constant region, γheavy chain (IgG) constant region, δ heavy chain (IgD) constant region, ε heavy chain (IgE) constant region and / or μ heavy chain (IgM) constant region.

In certain embodiments, the Fc region is modified to increase the ability of the antibody to mediate antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and / or to increase the affinity of the antibody for an Fcγ receptor by mutating one or more amino acids (e.g., introducing amino acid substitutions) . In some preferable embodiments, said one or more amino acids are mutated at the following positions: 238, 239, 248, 249, 252, 254, 255, 256, 258, 265, 267, 268, 269, 270, 272, 276, 278, 280, 283, 285, 286, 289, 290, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 298, 301, 303, 305, 307, 309, 312, 315, 320, 322, 324, 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 333, 334, 335, 337, 338, 340, 360, 373, 376, 378, 382, 388, 389, 398, 414, 416, 419, 430, 434, 435, 437, 438, and 439, numbered according to the EU numbering system. In some preferable embodiments, said one or more amino acids are mutated at the following positions: L234, L235, G236, S239, F243, T256, D265, H268, D270, K290, R292, S298, Y300, V305, K326, A330, I332, E333, K334, A339 and P396, numbered according to the EU numbering system.

In some preferable embodiments, said amino acids which are mutated comprise the following substitutions: L235V, F243L, R292P, Y300L, and P396L (VLPYLL) , numbered according to the EU numbering system. In some preferable embodiments, the antibody component comprises the Fc region with the following substitutions: L235V, F243L, R292P, Y300L, and P396L (VLPYLL) , numbered according to the EU numbering system.In some preferable embodiments, the antibody component comprises the Fc region with the following substitutions: L235V, F243L, R292P, Y300L, and P396L (VLPYLL) , numbered according to the EU numbering system.In some preferable embodiments, the antibody component comprises the Fc region with one or more following groups of substitutions:(1) L235V, F243L, R292P, Y300L, and P396L;(2) S239D and I332E;(3) S239D, A330L and I332E.In some particular embodiments, the antibody component has Fc silenced.The Fc region of an antibody controls antibody cytotoxic activities and can impact serum half-life of the antibody. However, the cytotoxic effector function of an antibody is often not desirable and can create safety concerns and unwanted side effects by activating host immune defenses effector function of antibodies. “Fc silenced” can be altered to, for example, silence or reduce the effector function (eg. reduce Fc binding to all FcgRs and off-target liver uptake) of antibodies by amino acid changes in the Fc region. several types of “Fc-silenced” antibodies formats with varying degrees of reduced receptor binding have been developed, including but not limited to P329G / L234A / L235A, L234A / L235A, L234F / L235E / P331S, N297A, N297Q, N297G, N297D.In some embodiments, the antibody component comprises a light chain (LC) constant region, preferably a human light chain constant region, for example, κ light chain constant region and / or λlight chain constant region.In some embodiments, the antibody component further comprises post-translational modifications. In some further embodiments, the glycosylation of the antibody is modified.In some particular embodiments, the antibody component is aglycoslated. In some particular embodiments, the antibody component has an altered type of glycosylation, such as a hypofucosylation. In some particular embodiments, the antibody component has increased bisecting GlcNac structures.Glycosylation can be altered to, for example, increase the affinity of the antibody for antigen. Such carbohydrate modifications can be accomplished by, for example, altering one or more sites of glycosylation within the antibody sequence. For example, one or more amino acid substitutions can be made that result in elimination of one or more variable region framework glycosylation sites to thereby eliminate glycosylation at that site. Such aglycosylation may increase the affinity of the antibody for antigen. Such an approach is described in further detail in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,714,350 and 6,350,861 by Co et al. When the antibody comprises an Fc region, the saccharides attached to same can be changed. In some applications, modifications to remove undesired glycosylation sites are useful, such as removal of fucose modules to improve antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) functions. In other applications, galactosylation modification can be made to modify complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) .In certain embodiments, an antibody may comprises reduced amounts of fucosyl residues (i.e., hypofucosylated) or comprises increased bisecting GlcNac structures. Such altered glycosylation patterns have been demonstrated to increase the ADCC ability of antibodies. Such carbohydrate modifications can be accomplished by, for example, expressing the antibody in a host cell with altered glycosylation machinery. Cells with altered glycosylation machinery have been described in the art and can be used as host cells in which to express recombinant antibodies of the invention to thereby produce an antibody with altered glycosylation. For example, the cell lines Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 lack the fucosyltransferase gene, FUT8 (alpha (1, 6) fucosyltransferase) , such that antibodies expressed in the Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 cell lines lack fucose on their carbohydrates. The Ms704, Ms705, and Ms709 FUT8- / -cell lines were created by the targeted disruption of the FUT8 gene in CHO / DG44 cells using two replacement vectors (see U.S. Patent Publication No. 20040110704 by Yamane et al. and Yanane-Ohnuki et al. (2004) Biotechnol Bioeng 87: 614-22) . As another example, EP 1,176,195 by Hanai et al. describes a cell line with a functionally disrupted FUT8 gene, which encodes a fucosyl transferase, such that antibodies expressed in such a cell line exhibit hypofucosylation by reducing or eliminating the alpha 1, 6 bond-related enzyme. Hanai et al. also described cell lines which have a low enzyme activity for adding fucose to the N-acetylglucosamine that binds to the Fe region of the antibody or does not have the enzyme activity, for example the rat myeloma cell line YB2 / 0 (ATCC CRL 1662) . PCT Publication WO 03 / 035835 by Presta describes a variant CHO cell line, Lec13 cells, with reduced ability to attach fucose to Asn (297) -linked carbohydrates, also resulting in hypofucosylation of antibodies expressed in that host cell (see also Shields, R.L. et al. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 222: 26733-26740) . PCT Publication WO 99 / 54342 by Umana et al. describes cell lines engineered to express glycoprotein-modifying glycosyl transferases (e.g., beta (1, 4) -N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase III (GnTIII) such that antibodies expressed in the engineered cell lines exhibit increased bisecting GlcNac structures which results in increased ADCC activity of the antibodies (see also Umana et al. (1999) Nat. Biotech, 17: 176-180) . Alternatively, the fucose residues of the antibody may be cleaved off using a fucosidase enzyme. For example, the fucosidase alpha-L-fucosidase removes fucosyl residues from antibodies (Tarentino, A.L. et al. (1975) Biochem. 14: 5516-23) .In some preferable embodiments, the antibody component comprises a constant region, which is hypofucosylated or afucosylated.In an embodiment of the present invention, the amino acid changes described herein include amino acid substitutions, insertions or deletions. Preferably, the amino acid changes described herein are amino acid substitutions, preferably conservative substitutions.In a preferred embodiment, the amino acid changes occur in regions outside CDRs (for example, in FRs) . More preferably, the amino acid changes of the present invention occur in regions outside the heavy chain variable region and / or outside the light chain variable region. In some embodiments, the amino acid changes occur in a heavy chain constant region and / or a light chain constant region.In some embodiments, the antibody component comprising amino acid changes have comparable or similar properties to the specific anti-FGFR2b antibodies disclosed herein.In some embodiments, the antibody component may be further modified to comprise additional non-protein moieties that are known in the art and readily available. A moiety suitable for antibody derivatization includes, but is not limited to, a water soluble polymer. Non-limiting examples of water soluble polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG) , ethylene glycol / propylene glycol co-polymers, carboxymethylcellulose, dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, poly-1, 3-dialkane, poly-1, 3, 6-trialkane, ethylene / maleic anhydride co-polymer, polyaminoacids (either homopolymers or random copolymers) , and dextran or poly (n-vinyl pyrrolidone) polyethylene glycol, propropylene glycol homopolymers, polypropylene oxide / ethylene oxide co-polymers, polyoxyethylated polyols (e.g., glycerol) , polyvinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof.In some embodiments, the antibody component has one or more of the following properties:(1) cross-reacting with FGFR2b orthologs of human, cynomolgus monkey, mouse and rat;(2) binding to human FGFR2b, especially to the extracellular domain of human FGFR2b, with a high affinity, such as with a KD value of less than 100 nM, such as less than 50 nM, such as less than 30 nM, preferably less than 10 nM or 5 nM, wherein preferably the KD value is measured using surface plasmon resonance assay;(3) binding to human FGFR2b expressed on the surface of cells (such as T cells) , with a high affinity, such as with a EC50 value of less than 100 nM, such as less than 50 nM, such as less than 40 nM, preferably less than 20 nM, more preferably less than 10 nM or 5 nM, wherein preferably the EC50 value is measured using FACS assay.● DrugIn some cases in accordance with this and other aspects of the present invention D in Formula I, to be conjugated to the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention, is preferably an antitumor compound, for example, any antitumor compound. The antitumor compound is not particularly limited if it is a compound having an antitumor effect and a substituent group or a partial structure allowing connecting to a linker structure. When a part or whole linker is cleaved in tumor cells, the antitumor compound moiety is released to exhibit the antitumor effect of the antitumor compound. As the linker is cleaved at a connecting position to drug, the antitumor compound is released in its intrinsic structure to exhibit its intrinsic antitumor effect.The antitumor compound may be for example cytotoxic agent or chemotherapy agent. Examples of the antitumor compound can include cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, mitomycin C, bleomycin, cyclocytidine, vincristine, vinblastine, methotrexate, platinum-based antitumor agent (cisplatin or carboplatin or derivatives thereof) , taxol or derivatives thereof such as docetaxel, and camptothecin or derivatives thereof.In the antibody-drug conjugate of the present invention, the antitumor compound could be for example a camptothecin derivative exatecan (atopoisomerase inhibitor) , Dxd (aderivate of exatecan) , aurestatins such as monomethyl auristatin e (mmae) or maytansinoids such as DM1.Maytansine and maytansinoidsIn some embodiments, the ADC comprises an antibody conjugated to one or more maytansinoid molecules. Maytansinoids are mitototic inhibitors which act by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. Maytansine was first isolated from the east African shrub Maytenus serrata (U. S. Patent No. 3896111) . Subsequently, it was discovered that certain microbes also produce maytansinoids, such as maytansinol and C-3 maytansinol esters (U. S. Patent No. 4, 151, 042) . Maytansinoid drug moieties are (i) relatively accessible to prepare by fermentation or chemical modification or derivatization of fermentation products, (ii) amenable to derivatization with functional groups suitable for conjugation through disulfide and non-disulfide linkers to antibodies, (iii) stable in plasma, and (iv) effective against a variety of tumor cell lines, and are therefore attractive drug moieties in antibody-drug conjugates, for example, ADCs of the present invention.Maytansine compounds suitable for use as maytansinoid drug moieties are well known in the art and can be isolated from natural sources according to known methods or produced using genetic engineering and fermentation techniques. Maytansinol and maytansinol analogues may also be prepared synthetically according to known methods.Maytansinoid drug moieties include those having the structure:where the wavy line indicates the covalent attachment of the sulfur atom of the maytansinoid drug moiety to a linker of an ADC. R may independently be H or a C1-C6 alkyl. The alkylene chain attaching the amide group to the sulfur atom may be methanyl, ethanyl, or propyl, i.e., m is 1, 2, or 3.Exemplary embodiments of maytansinoid drug moieities include: DMl; DM3; and DM4. ADCs comprising the same as drug moieties are as follows:Ab- (SPP-DM1) pAb- (SPDB-DM4) pAb- (SMCC-DM1) p.Wherein SPP, SPDB and SMCC are linkers, and p is 1 to 8.Antibody-maytansinoid conjugates are prepared by chemically linking an antibody to a maytansinoid molecule without significantly diminishing the biological activity of either the antibody or the maytansinoid molecule. Maytansinoids can be synthesized by known techniques or isolated from natural sources.There are many linking groups known in the art for making antibody-maytansinoid conjugates, including, disulfide groups, thioether groups, acid labile groups, photolabile groups, peptidase labile groups, or esterase labile groups. Additional linkers are described and exemplified herein.Conjugates of the antibody and maytansinoid may be made using a variety of bifunctional protein coupling agents such as N-succinimidyl-3- (2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) , succinimidyl-4- (N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) , iminothiolane (IT) , bifunctional derivatives of imidoesters (such as dimethyl adipimidate HCl) , active esters (such as disuccinimidyl suberate) , aldehydes (such as glutaraldehyde) , bis-azido compounds (such as bis (p-azidobenzoyl) hexanediamine) , bis-diazonium derivatives (such as bis- (p-diazoniumbenzoyl) -ethylenediamine) , diisocyanates (such as toluene 2, 6-diisocyanate) , and bis-active fluorine compounds (such as l, 5-difluoro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene) . In certain embodiments, the coupling agent is N-succinimidyl-3- (2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) (Carlsson et al, Biochem. J. 173: 723-737 (1978) ) or N-succinimidyl-4- (2-pyridylthio) pentanoate (SPP) to provide for a disulfide linkage.Dolastatins and analogues / derivatesIn some embodiments, the ADC comprises an antibody conjugated to one or more dolastatins or dolastatin peptidic analogs or derivatives, e.g., auristatin. Dolastatins, which are pentapeptides originally isolated from the Indian Ocean from the sea hare Dolabella Auricularia, has a strong antitumor effect with a mechanism similar to that of vinca alkaloids and taxenes and belongs to the antimicrotubule agents. However, the of dolastatins are so ultrapotent toxin, with its toxicity tens to hundreds times higher than that of vincristine, that are clinically utilized as payloads (drugs) in ADCs rather than systemically administration via intravenous.In some embodiments, the antitumor compounds are dolastatins. In some preferable embodiments, the antitumor compounds are auristatins or derivates thereof.Exemplary auristatin embodiments include the N-terminus linked monomethylauristatin drug moieties Formular DE and Formular DF as shown below:wherein the wavy line of DE and DF indicates the covalent attachment site to an antibody or antibody-linker component, and independently at each location:R2 is selected from H and Ci-Cg alkyl;R3 is selected from H, Ci-Cg alkyl, C3-C8 carbocycle, aryl, Ci-Cg alkyl-aryl, Ci-Cg alkyl- (C3-Cg carbocycle) , C3-C8 heterocycle and Ci-Cg alkyl- (C3-Cg heterocycle) ;R4 is selected from H, Ci-C8 alkyl, C3-C8 carbocycle, aryl, Ci-C8 alkyl-aryl, Ci-C8 alkyl- (C3-C8 carbocycle) , C3-C8 heterocycle and Ci-C8 alkyl- (C3-C8 heterocycle) ;R5 is selected from H and methyl; or R4 and R5 jointly form a carbocyclic ring and have the formula - (CRaRb) n-wherein Ra and Rb are independently selected from H, Ci-C8 alkyl and C3-C8 carbocycle and n is selected from 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6;R6 is selected from H and Ci-C8 alkyl;R7 is selected from H, C1-C8 alkyl, C3-C8 carbocycle, aryl, C1-C8 alkyl-aryl, C1-C8 alkyl- (C3-C8 carbocycle) , C3-C8 heterocycle and C1-C8 alkyl- (C3-C8 heterocycle) ; each R8 is independently selected from H, OH, Ci-C8 alkyl, C3-C8 carbocycle and 0- (Ci-C8 alkyl) ;R9 is selected from H and Ci-C8 alkyl;R10 is selected from aryl or C3-C8 heterocycle;Z is O, S, NH, or NR12, wherein R12 is C1-C8 alkyl;R11 is selected from H, Ci-C20 alkyl, aryl, C3-C8 heterocycle, - (R13O) m-R14, or - (R13O) m-CH (R15) 2; m is an integer ranging from 1-1000;R13 is C2-C8 alkyl;R14 is H or Ci-C8 alkyl; each occurrence of R15 is independently H, COOH, - (CH2) n-N (R16) 2, - (CH2) n-SO3H, or - (CH2) n-SO3-Cr C8 alkyl; each occurrence of R16 is independently H, C1-C8 alkyl, or - (CH2) n-COOH;R18 is selected from -C (R8) 2-C (R8) 2-aryl, -C (R8) 2-C (R8) 2- (C3-C8 heterocycle) , and -C (R8) 2-C (R8) 2- (C3-C8 carbocycle) ; and n is an integer ranging from 0 to 6.In one embodiment, R3, R4 and R7 are independently isopropyl or sec-butyl and R5 is -H or methyl.

It will be noted that in certain of the structural descriptions of sulfur linked ADC herein the antibody is represented as "Ab-S" merely to indicate the sulfur link feature and not to indicate that a particular sulfur atom bears multiple linker-drug moieties The left parentheses of the following structures may also be placed to the left of the sulfur atom, between Ab and S, which would be an equivalent description of the ADC of the invention described throughout herein.Ab-MC-vc-PAB-MMAFAb-MC-vc-PAB-MMAEAb-MC-MMAEAb-MC-MMAFExemplary embodiments of ADCs of Formula I comprising MMAF and various linker components further include Ab-MC-PAB-MMAF and Ab-PAB-MMAF. Interestingly, in some cases, ADCs comprising MMAF attached to an antibody by a linker that is not proteolytically cleavable have been shown to possess activity comparable to immunoconjugates comprising MMAF attached to an antibody by a proteolytically cleavable linker. In such instances, drug release is believed to be effected by antibody degradation in the cell.Typically, peptide-based drug moieties can be prepared by forming a peptide bond between two or more ammo acids and / or peptide fragments Such peptide bonds can be prepared according to the liquid phase synthesis methods well known in the field of peptide chemistry. Auristatin / dolastatin drug moieties may be prepared according to known methods in the art.Drug-linker moieties MC-MMAF, MC-MMAE, MC-vc-PAB-MMAF, and MC-vc-PAB-MMAE may be conveniently synthesized by routine methods, or purchased commercially, and then conjugated to an antibody of interest.CamptothecinsIn some embodiments, the ADC comprises an antibody conjugated topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. A typical example of topoisomerase I inhibitor is compound of camptothecins, e.g., but not limited to, camptothecin (CPT) , hydroxycamptothecin, 9-amino-camptothecin, exatecan, topotecan, belotecan, irinotecan, SN-38, and FL118 and derivates thereof.In some embodiments, the antitumor compound is a camptothecins drug having a structure as shown below:which may be optionally substituted. The optional substituents may include, as illustrative non-limiting examples, (C1-C10) alkyl, (C3-C8) carbocyclo, (C3-C8) heterocyclo, aryl, an amino group, a hydroxy group, a carbonyl group, an amide group, an ester group, a carbamate group, a carbonate group and / or a silyl group.The following camptothecin analogues are also preferred for the present invention:In some embodiments, the antitumor compound is a camptothecins drug selected from the group consisting of exatecan, SN38, camptothecin, topotecan, irinotecan, belotecan, lurtotecan, rubitecan, silatecan, cositecan and gimatecan. Preferably, the camptothecin moiety is selected from the group consisting of exatecan, SN38, camptothecin, topotecan, irinotecan and belotecan. SN38 has the following structure:and the structures of exatecan, camptothecin, topotecan, irinotecan and belotecan are as described herein.In some embodiments, the antitumor compound is exatecan having the following structure:or the following structure:In some embodiments, the antitumor compound is exatecan having the following structure:or the following structure:In some embodiments, the antitumor compound is a camptothecins drug having the following structure:or the following structure:or the following structure:Exatecan and derivates can be easily obtained by a known method and the amino group at position 1 can be preferably used as the connecting position to the linker structure. Further, although exatecan can be also released in tumor cells while part of the linker is still attached thereto, it is an excellent compound exhibiting an excellent antitumor effect even in such a structure.Because exatecan has a camptothecin structure, it is known that the equilibrium shifts to a structure with a closed lactone ring (closed ring) in an aqueous acidic medium (for example, pH 3 or so) but it shifts to a structure with an open lactone ring (open ring) in an aqueous basic medium (for example, pH 10 or so) . A drug conjugate being introduced with an exatecan residue corresponding to the closed ring structure and the open ring structure is also expected to have the same antitumor effect and any of these structures is within the scope of the present invention.● Linker componentsThe term “linker” refers to modifying agents that possess two reactive groups, one of which is capable of reacting (e.g., forming a covalent bond with another functional group) with a binding agent (e.g., an antibody) while the other one reacts with a payload (e.g., a drug) , leading to attachment to both of the two moieties. Thereby, a linker would be capable of linking the two moieties together.A linker suitable for the immunoconjugates (e.g., the ADCs) of the present invention may have any structure that is capable of implement the conjugation of the antibody (Ab) and the payload (e.g., drug (d) ) . In a preferable embodiment, the induction of the linker (i.e., L in the Formula I) significantly improve the stability of the ADCs in the circulation system, and / or facilitate the release of the drug moiety in an active form at the target position (e.g., in the cancer cell or the tumor microenvironment) .A linker may comprise one or more linker components. Exemplary linker components include active carboxyl, maleimide, 6-maleimidocaproyl ( "MC" ) , cyclooctyne, caproyl, formyl, cyclohexyl formyl, sulfonamide, maleimidopropanoyl ( "MP" ) , valine-citrulline ( "val-cit" or "vc" , SEQ ID NO: 86) , valine-alanine ( "val-ala" or "va" , SEQ ID NO: 88) , alanine -phenylalanine ( "ala-phe" , SEQ ID NO: 89) , glycine-glycine-phenylalanine-glycine (GGFG, SEQ ID NO: 87) , cleavable or self-cleavable (immolative) component such as p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (a "PAB" ) , o-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl ( "OAB" ) , and N, N'-Dimethylethylenediamine (DMEDA) , and those resulting from conjugation with linker reagents: N-Succinimidyl 4- (2-pyridylthio) pentanoate ( "SPP" ) , N-succinimidyl 4- (N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1 carboxylate ( "SMCC" , also referred to herein as "MCC" ) , and N-Succinimidyl (4-iodo-acetyl) aminobenzoate ( "SIAB" ) . Functionally, linker components may provide the attachment to the antibody or the payload / drug, the adjustment to the stability and / or solubility, or the cleavage site, as needed. Various linker components are known in the art, some of which are described below.A linker may be a "cleavable linker, " facilitating release of a drug in the cell. For example, an acid-labile linker (e.g., hydrazone) , protease-sensitive (e.g., peptidase-sensitive) linker, photolabile linker, dimethyl linker or disulfide-containing linker (Chari et al, Cancer Research 52: 127-131 (1992) ; U.S. Patent No. 5,208,020) may be used. In some embodiments, a cleavable linker may be a hydrazone linker, a disulfide linker, a peptide-based linker (e.g. dipeptide, a tripeptide, a tetrapeptide or a pentapeptide linker) , or a glucuronide linker. In some embodiments, a non-cleavable linker is a thioether linker, or maleimidocaproyl linker.In some embodiments, a linker component may comprise an amino acid unit. In one such embodiment, the amino acid unit allows for cleavage of the linker by a protease, thereby facilitating release of the drug from the immunoconjugate upon exposure to intracellular proteases, such as lysosomal enzymes. See, e.g., Doronina et al. (2003) Nat. Biotechnol 21: 778-784. Exemplary amino acid units include, but are not limited to, a dipeptide, a tripeptide, a tetrapeptide, and a pentapeptide. Exemplary dipeptides include: valine-citrulline (vc or val-cit, SEQ ID NO: 86) , alanine-phenylalanine (af or ala-phe, SEQ ID NO: 89) ; phenylalanine-lysine (fk or phe-lys, SEQ ID NO: 90) . Exemplary tripeptides include: glycine-valine-citrulline (gly-val-cit, SEQ ID NO: 92) and glycine-glycine-glycine (gly-gly-gly, SEQ ID NO: 91) . Exemplary tetrapeptide include: glycine-glycine-phenylalanine-glycine (gly-gly-phe-gly or GGFG, SEQ ID NO: 87) . An amino acid unit may comprise amino acid residues that occur naturally, as well as minor amino acids and non-naturally occurring amino acid analogs, such as citrulline. Amino acid units can be designed and optimized in their selectivity for enzymatic cleavage by a particular enzyme, for example, a tumor-associated protease, cathepsin B, C and D, or a plasmin protease.In some embodiments, a linker component may comprise a "spacer" unit that links the antibody to a drug moiety, either directly or by way of a stretcher unit and / or an amino acid unit. A spacer unit may be "self-immolative" or a "non-self-immolative. " A "non-self-immolative" spacer unit is one in which part or all of the spacer unit remains bound to the drug moiety upon enzymatic (e.g., proteolytic) cleavage of the ADC. Examples of non-self-immolative spacer units include, but are not limited to, a glycine spacer unit and a glycine-glycine spacer unit. Other combinations of peptidic spacers susceptible to sequence-specific enzymatic cleavage are also contemplated. For example, enzymatic cleavage of an ADC containing a glycine-glycine spacer unit by a tumor-cell associated protease would result in release of a glycine-glycine-drug moiety from the remainder of the ADC. In one such embodiment, the glycine-glycine-drug moiety is then subjected to a separate hydrolysis step in the tumor cell, thus cleaving the glycine-glycine spacer unit from the drug moiety.A "self-immolative" spacer unit allows for release of the drug moiety without a separate hydrolysis step. In certain embodiments, a spacer unit of a linker comprises a p-aminobenzyl unit. In one such embodiment, a p-aminobenzyl alcohol is attached to an amino acid unit via an amide bond, and a carbamate, methylcarbamate, or carbonate is made between the benzyl alcohol and a cytotoxic agent. See, e.g., Hamann et al. (2005) Expert Opin. Ther. Patents (2005) 15: 1087-1103. In one embodiment, the spacer unit is p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (PAB) . In certain embodiments, the phenylene portion of a p-amino benzyl unit is substituted with Qm, wherein Q is -C1-C8 alkyl, -0- (C1-C8 alkyl) , -halogen, -nitro or -cyano; and m is an integer ranging from 0-4. Examples of self-immolative spacer units further include, but are not limited to, aromatic compounds that are electronically similar to p-aminobenzyl alcohol {see, e.g., US 2005 / 0256030 Al) , such as 2-aminoimidazol-5-methanol derivatives (Hay et al. (1999) Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 9: 2237) and ortho-or para-aminobenzylacetals. Spacers can be used that undergo cyclization upon amide bond hydrolysis, such as substituted and unsubstituted 4-aminobutyric acid amides (Rodrigues et al., Chemistry Biology, 1995, 2, 223) ; appropriately substituted bicyclo [2.2.1] and bicyclo [2.2.2] ring systems (Storm, et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc, 1972, 94, 5815) ; and 2-aminophenylpropionic acid amides (Amsberry, et al., / . Org. Chem., 1990, 55, 5867) . Elimination of amine -containing drugs that are substituted at the a-position of glycine (Kingsbury, et al, / . Med. Chem., 1984, 27, 1447) are also examples of self-immolative spacers useful in ADCs.In some preferred embodiments, the L in Formula I comprise a combination of above-mentioned linker components / units.In some preferred embodiments, the L in Formula I is MC-VC-PAB, vc-PAB, SMCC or MC-GGFG.In one preferred embodiment, the ADC of the present invention according to Formula I is:wherein Ab is the anti-FGFR2b antibody as above-mentioned, q represents average DAR and may be 2-5, e.g., 3-5, 3-4 or 3.5-4.5.In one preferred embodiment, the ADC of the present invention according to Formula I is:wherein Ab is the anti-FGFR2b antibody as above-mentioned, q represents average DAR and may be 1-20, e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8.Some abbreviations as used herein are expanded as follows:MC = 6-maleimidocaproylVal-Cit or "vc" = valine-citrulline (an exemplary dipeptide in a protease cleavable linker)Citrulline = 2-amino-5-ureido pentanoic acidPAB = p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (an example of a "self immolative" linker component)Me-Val-Cit = N-methyl-valine-citrulline (wherein the linker peptide bond has been modified to prevent its cleavage by cathepsin B)MMAE = mono-methyl auristatin E (MW 718)MMAF = variant of auristatin E (MMAE) with a phenylalanine at the C-terminus of the drug (MW 731.5)DM1 = N (2') -deacetyl-N (2') - (3 -mercapto-1 -oxopropyl) -maytansineDM3 = N (2') -deacetyl-N2- (4-mercapto-l-oxopentyl) -maytansineDM4 = N (2') -deacetyl-N2- (4-mercapto-4-methyl-1 -oxopentyl) -maytansineIII. Methods of Preparing immunoconjugates of the present inventionAn immunoconjugate (such as, ADC of Formula I) may be prepared by several routes employing organic chemistry reactions, conditions, and reagents known to those skilled in the art, including: (1) reaction of a nucleophilic group of an antibody with a bivalent linker reagent to form Ab-L via a covalent bond, followed by reaction with a drug moiety D; and (2) reaction of a nucleophilic group of a drug moiety with a bivalent linker reagent, to form D-L, via a covalent bond, followed by reaction with a nucleophilic group of an antibody. Exemplary methods for preparing an ADC of Formula I via the latter route are described in US 2005-0238649 Al, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.Nucleophilic groups on antibodies include, but are not limited to: (i) N-terminal amine groups, (ii) side chain amine groups, e.g. lysine, (iii) side chain thiol groups, e.g. cysteine, and (iv) sugar hydroxyl or amino groups where the antibody is glycosylated. Amine, thiol, and hydroxyl groups are nucleophilic and capable of reacting to form covalent bonds with electrophilic groups on linker moieties and linker reagents including: (i) active esters such as NHS esters, HOBt esters, haloformates, and acid halides; (ii) alkyl and benzyl halides such as haloacetamides; (iii) aldehydes, ketones, carboxyl, and maleimide groups. Certain antibodies have reducible interchain disulfides, i.e. cysteine bridges. Antibodies may be made reactive for conjugation with linker reagents by treatment with a reducing agent such as DTT (dithiothreitol) or tricarbonylethylphosphine (TCEP) , such that the antibody is fully or partially reduced. Each cysteine bridge will thus form, theoretically, two reactive thiol nucleophiles. Additional nucleophilic groups can be introduced into antibodies through modification of lysine residues, e.g., by reacting lysine residues with 2-iminothiolane (Traut's reagent) , resulting in conversion of an amine into a thiol. Reactive thiol groups may be introduced into an antibody by introducing one, two, three, four, or more cysteine residues (e.g., by preparing variant antibodies comprising one or more non-native cysteine amino acid residues) .Immunoconjugates (such as, Antibody-drug conjugates) of the invention may also be produced by reaction between an electrophilic group on an antibody, such as an aldehyde or ketone carbonyl group, with a nucleophilic group on a linker reagent or drug. Useful nucleophilic groups on a linker reagent include, but are not limited to, hydrazide, oxime, amino, hydrazine, thiosemicarbazone, hydrazine carboxylate, and arylhydrazide. In one embodiment, an antibody is modified to introduce electrophilic moieties that are capable of reacting with nucleophilic substituents on the linker reagent or drug. In another embodiment, the sugars of glycosylated antibodies may be oxidized, e.g. with periodate oxidizing reagents, to form aldehyde or ketone groups which may react with the amine group of linker reagents or drug moieties. The resulting imine Schiff base groups may form a stable linkage, or may be reduced, e.g. by borohydride reagents to form stable amine linkages. In one embodiment, reaction of the carbohydrate portion of a glycosylated antibody with either galactose oxidase or sodium meta-periodate may yield carbonyl (aldehyde and ketone) groups in the antibody that can react with appropriate groups on the drug (Hermanson, Bioconjugate Techniques) . In another embodiment, antibodies containing N-terminal serine or threonine residues can react with sodium meta-periodate, resulting in production of an aldehyde in place of the first amino acid (Geoghegan &Stroh, (1992) Bioconjugate Chem. 3: 138-146; US 5362852) . Such an aldehyde can be reacted with a drug moiety or linker nucleophile.Nucleophilic groups on a drug moiety include, but are not limited to: amine, thiol, hydroxyl, hydrazide, oxime, hydrazine, thiosemicarbazone, hydrazine carboxylate, and arylhydrazide groups capable of reacting to form covalent bonds with electrophilic groups on linker moieties and linker reagents including: (i) active esters such as NHS esters, HOBt esters, haloformates, and acid halides; (ii) alkyl and benzyl halides such as haloacetamides; (iii) aldehydes, ketones, carboxyl, and maleimide groups.In some embodiments, immunoconjugates (such as, antibody-drug conjugates) of the invention may be prepared or manufactured by a method comprising the following steps:(a) Reducing or partially reducing the antibody by contacting the antibody to a suitable reducing agent and incubating, in a suitable buffer solution;(b) Adding the linker-payload (drug) moiety into the reaction solution of step (a) to perform the conjuation; and optionally(c) purifying the conjugates of step (b) ,thereby immunoconjugates of the invention may be obtained,preferably wherein the antibody is the Ab moiety of the invention as described above, and the linker-drug moiety is the L-D moiety of the invention as described above.In some particular embodiments, the buffer in step (a) is PBS with a pH of 5.0-9.0, preferably 6.0-8.0, more preferably 7.2-7.4.In some particular embodiments, the reducing agent in step (a) is BME, DTT, thioacetic acid, TCEP or a combination thereof.The compounds of the invention expressly contemplate, but are not limited to, ADC prepared with the following linker reagents: BMPS, EMCS, GMBS, HBVS, LC-SMCC, MBS, MPBH, SBAP, SIA, SIAB, SMCC, SMPB, SMPH, sulfo-EMCS, sulfo-GMBS, sulfo-KMUS, sulfo-MBS, sulfo-SIAB, sulfo-SMCC, and sulfo-SMPB, and SVSB (succinimidyl- (4-vinylsulfone) benzoate) which are commercially available (e.g., from Pierce Biotechnology, Inc., Rockford, IL., U. S. A; see pages 467-498, 2003-2004 Applications Handbook and Catalog.Immunoconjugates comprising an antibody and a cytotoxic agent may also be made using a variety of bifunctional protein coupling agents such as N-succinimidyl-3- (2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP) , succinimidyl-4- (N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1 -carboxylate (SMCC) , iminothiolane (IT) , bifunctional derivatives of imidoesters (such as dimethyl adipimidate HCl) , active esters (such as disuccinimidyl suberate) , aldehydes (such as glutaraldehyde) , bis-azido compounds (such as bis (p-azidobenzoyl) hexanediamine) , bis-diazonium derivatives (such as bis- (p-diazoniumbenzoyl) -ethylenediamine) , diisocyanates (such as toluene 2, 6-diisocyanate) , and bis-active fluorine compounds (such as l, 5-difluoro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene) . For example, a ricin immunotoxin can be prepared as described in Vitetta et al, Science 238: 1098 (1987) . Carbon-14-labeled 1-isothiocyanatobenzyl-3-methyldiethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (MX-DTPA) is an exemplary chelating agent for conjugation of radionucleotide to the antibody. See WO94 / 11026.Alternatively, a fusion protein comprising an antibody and a cytotoxic agent may be made, e.g., by recombinant techniques or peptide synthesis. A recombinant DNA molecule may comprise regions encoding the antibody and cytotoxic portions of the conjugate either adjacent to one another or separated by a region encoding a linker peptide which does not destroy the desired properties of the conjugate.IV.

The mAbs with FGFR2b binding specificity in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were selected for further characterization.Construction of expression vectors pcDNA3.1-human FGFR2bThe DNA encoding full-length human FGFR2b isoform (Accession Number in Uniprot P21802-2) was inserted into pcDNA3.1 (+) vector (Synbio Technologies) by seamless cloning, the construct was confirmed by DNA sequencing.

Ten days after serum screening, the mice with the highest anti-FGFR2b antibody serum titers were boosted via intravenous injection with 10 μg of FGFR2b-Fc. Three days after boosting, the splenocytes were harvested and fused with mouse myeloma cells to preserve their viability and form hybridoma cell lines. The primary screen of FGFR2b-specific antibodies was performed using the supernatants of the murine hybridoma clones, and the hybridoma cell lines that produce FGFR2b-specific antibodies, which only bind to FGFR2b not to FGFR2c, were selected. ELISA and flow cytometry assay indicated that several antibodies, including 55D6, 38D4, 39C2, 35B11, 52E2, 61B7 and 30C7, exhibited strong affinity towards human FGFR2-IIIb and showed no detectable binding to the human FGFR2c. No binding of these antibodies to human FGFR1, FGFR3c FGFR3b or FGFR4 was detected. Interestingly, all these FGFR2b-specific antibodies blocked the interaction between FGF7 and FGFR2b as determined by ELISA.Example 2: V-gene cloning and generation of chimeric antibodies2.1 V-gene cloning and sequencing of hybridoma antibodiesThe lead antibodies with desired profile were selected for V-gene cloning. The sequences of the murine anti-human FGFR2b light chain and heavy chain variable regions were obtained by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification technique operated according to Wang, Z. et al., 2000 (Universal PCR amplification of mouse immunoglobulin gene variable regions: the design of degenerate primers and an assessment of the effect of DNA polymerase 3′to 5′exonuclease activity. J. Immunol. Methods 233, 167–177) . Total RNA from the positive hybridoma cell was isolated by using the MiniBest Universal RNA Extraction Kit (TaKaRa) , and the cDNA was synthesized by using 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (TaKaRa) with Oligo (dT) primer. The variable regions of mouse IgG gene were amplified by PCR by using primers of different isotypes for heavy chain variable region and Kappa chain primers for light chain variable region. The PCR products were subcloned into a TA cloning vector. For each variable gene construct, more than 10 single colonies were used for DNA sequencing by Synbio Technologies (Suzhou, China) . The amino acid sequences of Vh and Vk were derived from the DNA sequencing results.2.2 Construction of chimeric antibodiesSeven antibodies, including 55D6, 38D4, 39C2, 35B11, 52E2, 61B7 and 30C7, were selected as lead antibodies to generate chimeric antibodies with human IgG1 as constant region, and their SEQ were listed in the Table 4. After sequencing analysis and confirmation, cDNAs of the variable regions of heavy chain and light chain were synthesized and fused with the sequences of the constant region of human IgG1with and human kappa. To boost the ADCC of antibodies, the Fc domain of these chimeric mAb was engineered with L235V, F243L, R292P, Y300L, and P396L (VLPYLL) . To enhance antibody secretion, the signal peptide sequences (MEFGLSWVFLVALFRGVQC and MDMRVPAQLLGLLLLWLRGARC) were added at N-terminal of heavy chain and light chain, respectively. The resulting chimeric antibody genes were cloned into an expression vector. Large-scale DNA was prepared by using Plasmid Maxi-prep System from Qiagen.2.3 Expression and purification of chimeric antibodiesCo-transfection of heavy chain and light chain was carried out using the ExpiFectamineTM CHO Reagent from Invitrogen according to the manufacturer’s protocol. ExpiCHO-Scells in ExpiCHO Expression Medium at 5-6x106 cell / ml were transfected with equal amount of heavy chain vector and light chain vector DNA at a final concentration of 0.8 μg / ml by using ExpiFectamineTM CHO Reagent. The plasmid DNA or ExpiFectamineTM CHO Reagent were diluted with cold OptiPROTM medium, and then mixed by swirling tube and / or inversion. The ExpiFectamineTM CHO / plasmid DNA mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 1-5 minutes, and then slowly transferred into a shaker flask with cells. The transfecting cells were incubated at 37℃ with a humidified atmosphere of 5%CO2 on an orbital shaker (125rpm shaking speed) . 18 to 22 hours after transfection, ExpiCHOTM Feed was added, and the conditioned medium was harvested on day 10. The supernatant was centrifuged at 4, 000 rpm for 20 minutes and then filtered through 0.22um filtration capsule to remove cell debris. The filtered supernatant was loaded onto a pre-equilibrated Protein-Aaffinity column. Protein-Aresin was washed with equilibration buffer (PBS) , and 25 mM citrate (pH3.5) was then used to elute the antibody. The purified antibody solution was adjusted to pH 6.0-7.0 by using 1M Tris-base (pH 9.0) . The endotoxin was controlled below 1EU / mg. Finally, the purified antibody was characterized by SDS-PAGE.An anti-human FGFR2b specific antibody, Benchmark_VLPYLL, (Bema : VH and VL sequences are from patent WO2015 / 017600A1, FIVE PRIME THERAPEUTICS) , was also expressed as positive control, and the Fc is human IgG1_VLPYLL.Table 4 Variable region sequences of murine or chimeric antibodiesNote: CDR defined by Kabat is marked with bold and underlineExample 3: Epitope characterization of chimeric anti-FGFR2b mAbsEpitope characterization of chimeric mAbs and Benchmark_VLPYLL were performed by using BLI. 100 nM human FGFR2b-biotion protein (Katcus, Cat : FGF-HM4ABB) was loaded onto SA biosensor. After washing step, the biosensor was dipped into 1st antibodies solution to associate 1st antibody for 90 s, the signal of bind is observed obsviously. The bisosensor was washed with KD buffer, followed by incubate with the 2nd antibody, and this signal can indicate whether the epitopes of the two antibodies compete.According to the epitope competive assay (Figure 1) , we found that 55D6, 38D4, 39C2 and Benchmark_VLPYLL recognize the same epitope, and any one of these antibodies can completely compete with other antibodies to bind to human FGFR2b. Unlike the above antibodies, 52E2 binds to a totally distinct epitope of FGFR2b. Interestingly, 35B11, 61B7and 30C7, can not only compete for the binding of 52E2 to FGFR2b, but also compete for the binding of Benchmark or other to the antigen. Another two benchmark antibodies, 2-10 (Daiichi Sankyo) and GP369 (Aveo Thereapeutic) was also expressed and test the epitope, and both 2-10 and GP369 can compete for the binding of Benchmark_VLPYLL, and they cannot compete for the binding of 52E2 to FGFR2b, the results are not shown here.Example 4 ADCC activity of anti-FGFR2b chimeric mAbThe ADCC reporter bioassay, a bioluminescent reporter-gene assay for quantifying the biological activity of the antibody via FcγRIIIa-mediated pathway activation, was used to evaluate the ADCC activity of anti-FGFR2b antibodies. The Jurkat-NFAT Luc-FcγRIIIa-V176 cells (Jurkat cells (Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Cat#SCSP-513) were transfected with PGL4.30-Luc / NFAT-RE / Hygro plasmid (Promega) , and then screened with hygromycin. The cell line Jurkat-nfat-Luc was stably expressed. The sequence of FcγRIIIA-V176 (SEQ ID NO: 37) was constructed into the vector pVitro-neo (InvivoGen) to obtain the plasmid pVitro-neo-pcDNa3.1-FcγRIIIA-V176. The obtained cell lines were transfected with pVitro-neo-FcγriiA-V176 plasmid, and the stably expressed cell line Jurkat-nFAT-Luc-FcγRIIIA-V176 was screened with antibiotic G418. Jurkat cells (Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Cat#SCSP-513) were transfected with PGL4.30-Luc / NFAT-RE / Hygro plasmid (Promega) , and then screened with hygromycin. The cell line Jurkat-nfat-Luc was stably expressed. The sequence of FcγRIIIA-V176 (SEQ ID NO: 37) was constructed into the vector pVitro-neo (InvivoGen) to obtain the plasmid pVitro-neo-pcDNa3.1-FcγRIIIA-V176. The obtained cell lines were transfected with pVitro-neo-FcγRIIIA-V176 plasmid, and the stably expressed cell line Jurkat-nFAT-Luc-FcγRIIIA-V176 was screened with antibiotic G418. ) were used as the effector cells. The effector cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10%FBS, 100 μg / mL hygromycin, 250 μg / mL G418, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 0.1 mM MEM non-essential amino acids. Human FGFR2 gene-amplificated cancer cell lines (KATO-III cells and KYSE-180 cells) were used as the target cells in the ADCC reporter bioassay. KATO-III, a gastric cancer cell line, was maintained in IMDM culture medium containing 20%FBS and 1×Penicillin-streptomycin, and KYSE-180, a esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cell line, was maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10%FBS and 1×Penicillin-streptomycin. The target cells were plated in a 96-well white bottom assay plate at 20, 000 cells per well, followed by incubation with serial dilutions of antibodies. After incubation at 37℃ for 30min, Jurkat-NFAT Luc-FcγRIIIa-V176 reporter cells with 1.2×105 cells per well were then added to the assay plates and incubated at 37℃ for 5 hrs. One-GloTMLuciferase Assay Reagent (Promega, Cat. no. E6120) was added and the luminescence was determined using a SpectraMax M5 microplate reader. Samples and controls were tested in duplicate, and the mean reporter signals of sample dilutions in relative luminescent unit (RLU) value were plotted against the antibody concentration. The dose–response curves were fitted with a four-parameter model using Prism Graphpad statistic software.The ADCC reporter bioassay here was used for confirming the ADCC activity of the chimeric mAbs respectively. As shown in Figure 2, 55D6, 38D4, 39C2, 35B11, 52E2, 61B7 and 30C7 presented effective ADCC activities against KATO-III cells (FGFR2b amplification and high overexpression) .Example 5: Humanization of murine antibodies55D6, 38D4, 39C2, 35B11 and 52E2 were selected for humanization. A humanization process enabling the generation of highly optimized mAb consists of five steps. The first step is to select acceptor human frameworks (FR) appropriate for their antigen binding activity, immunogenicity, expression, stability, and pharmacokinetics, and the selected germlines include IGHV1-46*01 (for VHs of 55D6, 39C2 and 38D4) , IGHV1-69-2*02 (for VH of 35B11) , IGHV1-2*02 (for VH of 52E2) , IGKV3-11*01 (for 55D6 VL) , IGKV1-39*01 (for VLs of 39C2, 38D4 and 52E2) , and IGKV2-30*02 (for 35B11 VL) . The second step is to generate CDR-grafted mAb by graft the CDRs of murine antibody to the FRs of human antibody descripted in the first step, then simulate three-dimensional (3D) Fv structure model of parental murine antibody and the CDR-grafted mAb, finnaly, according to the guidance of the structure, the amino acids in the frame region close to the CDR region, located at the interface of the VH and VL and inside the structure, are backmutated into the corresponding amino acids in the FR of murine antibody. The third step is to prepare expression vectors for multiple versions of humanized antibodies. The fourth step is to express and purify the humanized antibodies. The last step is to multidimensionally evaluate the humanized antibodies.Using this humanization procedure, we obtained the humanized antibodies of 55D6, 38D4, 39C2, 35B11, 52E2, and named as Hu55D6, Hu38D4, Hu39C2, Hu35B11 and Hu52E2 accordingly. The constant region of humanized mAbs are human IgG1 and Kappa. To enhance the ADCC, these humanized antibodies were expressed as low-fucose version by adding fucose analog 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose (Biosynth, W-203582) in the expression medium. To compare the bioactivity of 5 humanized mAbs with positive control, Benchmark (Bema: constant region is human IgG1 and kappa) was also expressed as low-fucose version. The VH and VL sequences of humanized mAbs are list in the following table.Table 5 Variable region sequences of humanized antibodiesNote: CDR defined by Kabat is marked with bold and underlineExample 6: Kinetic binding of humanized mAbs to human FGFR2bKinetic binding of humanized mAbs to human FGFR2b (Sino Biological, Cat : 16485-H08H) was determined by using Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) . Humanized mAbs at 100 nM in 1×Kinetics Buffer (1×PBS, pH 7.4, 0.02%Tween 20, 0.1%BSA) was loaded onto 4 pre-wet Protein A biosensors and incubated with various concentrations of human FGFR2b solutions. All binding data were collected at 30℃. The experiments comprised 5 steps: 1. Baseline acquisition (60s) ; 2. Antibody loading onto Protein A biosensor (60s) ; 3. Second baseline acquisition (60s) ; 4. Association of antigen for the measurement of kon (120s) ; and 5. Dissociation of antigen for the measurement of koff (180s) . Four different concentrations of antigen diluted with 1×Kinetics Buffer were used, including 100 nM, 33.3 nM, 11.1 nM and 0 nM. Baseline and dissociation steps were carried out in 1×Kinetics Buffer. The ratio of koff to kon determined the KD. The Biosensors were regenerated for 5s in Regeneration Buffer (10 mM Glycine-HCL, pH 1.7) , followed by neutralization for 5s in Neutralization Buffer (1×PBS, pH 7.4, 0.02%Tween 20, 0.1%BSA) . This process repeated 3 times.As shown in the following table 6, Hu55D6, Hu38D4, Hu39C2, Hu35B11 and Hu52E2 binds human FGFR2b with high affinity, and the KD of these humanized mAbs are better than that of Benchmark.Table 6 Kinetic binding summary of humanized mAbs to human FGFR2bExample 7: Binding specificity of humanized mAbs to human FGFR2bELISA method was used to determine the binding specificity of humanized antibodies to FGFR family members, to avoid side effects caused by off-target binding. Briefly, human FGFR2b (Sino Biological, Cat : 16485-H08H) , FGFR2c (Sino Biological, Cat : 10824-H08H) , FGFR1 (Sino Biological, Cat: 10616-H08H) , FGFR3b (Sino Biological, Cat: 10648-H08H, ) , FGFR3c (Sino Biological, Cat: 10644-H08H) or FGFR4 (Sino Biological, Cat : 10538-H08H) was immobilized on the plate, humanized mAbs were serial diluted in PBS and added for 1h incubation. Next, Goat pAb to human IgG-HRP and TMB were added for detection of binding at OD450nm. Fininally The data was analyzed by GraphPad Prism.According to the results of ELISA analysis, Hu55D6, Hu38D4, Hu39C2, Hu35B11 and Hu52E2 specifically binds to FGFR2b, and they don’ t bind to any other FGFR family members (See figure 3) .Example 8: Species cross-reactivity of humanized mAbsUsing ELISA method to detect whether our candidate antibodies can bind to mouse, rat or monkey FGFR2b, to provide a basis for the selection of subsequent animal models. Briefly, human FGFR2b-His (Sino Biological, Cat : 16485-H08H) , mouse FGFR2b-His (Sino Biological, Cat : 51128-M08H) , cynomologus FGFR2b-His (Sino Biological, Cat : FGF-CM1BB) or rat FGFR2b-mFc (expressed in-house, sequence is from Uniprot, F1LSG7) was immobilized on the plate, humanized mAbs were serial diluted in PBS and added for 1h incubation. Next, Goat pAb to human IgG-HRP and TMB were added for detection of binding at OD450nm. Fininally The data was analyzed by GraphPad Prism.According to the results of ELISA analysis, Hu55D6, Hu38D4, Hu39C2, Hu35B11 and Hu52E2 not only bind to human FGFR2b, but also cross-bind to mouse, rat and cynomologus FGFR2b. These results support that mouse models can be used to evaluate the efficacy of these antibodies, and rats and monkeys can be used to evaluate the preclinical toxicology of these humanized antibodies (See figure 4) .Example 9: Blocking ELISA assay for the binding between FGFR2b and FGF70.5 μg / ml hFGFR2b-Fc (Sino Biological, cat#16485-H02H, lot#LC13JL2910) was coated to the ELISA plate and incubated at 4℃ overnight. The plate was washed three times and was blocked at 37℃for 1h. The plate was washed and 50 μl diluted humanized mAb and 50 μl biotin-labeled FGF7-Fc (prepared in-house, FGF7-Fc was expressed and purified, then it was biotin-labeled according to the method of EZ-LinkTM Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin Kit, ThermoFisher, Catalog number: A39257) added into each well, and incubate at 37℃for 1h. The plates were washed 6 times followed by addition of 100 ul / well of 1: 5000 HRP-conjugated streptavidin (Abcam, cat#ab7403, lot#GR3259274-11) . After incubation at room temperature for 1 h, mixed TMB substrate reagent was added and incubated at room temperature for 5 min, then stopped by adding 0.1 M H2SO4. OD450nm was recorded by Microplate Reader, and the IC50 value for blocking the binding of humanized anti-FGFR2b mAbs to ligand FGF7 was calculated.The results of blocking ELISA showed that all the 5 humanized mAbs could potently block the interaction between FGFR2b and FGF7, and the IC50 of these mAbs are comparable to that of Benchmark (See figure 5) .The blockade of all the 5 humanized mAbs to the interaction between FGFR2b and FGF10 was determined by a BLI method. Breifly, FGFR2b-biotion was loaded onto SA biosensor, then incubate with tested antibodies or isotype control, after that the sensor was dipped into the FGF10 in solution. The 5 humanized mAbs also block the interaction between FGFR2b and FGF10, the data is not shown here.Example 10: Flow cytometry binding analysis of anti-FGFR2b antibodies on HEK293T cells stably expressing human FGFR2b and FGFR2cThe HEK293T cells (Cell Bank of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Cat: GNHu44) were stably transfected with the expression vectors that respectively express human FGFR2-IIIb (293T-hFGFR2b) (Accession Number in Uniprot, P21802-3) and human FGFR2-IIIc (293T-hFGFR2c) (Accession Number in Uniprot, P21802) . 293T-hFGFR2b / 2c cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10%fetal bovine serum (FBS) , 1×Penicillin-streptomycin, and 1μg / mL puromycin. The cells were washed and seeded in 96-well plates at 5×104 cells per well in the cold washing buffer (1×PBS containing 2%FBS) , and then incubated with several antibody dilutions at 4℃ for 60 min. After twice washing by the cold washing buffer, 0.5 μg / mL FITC conjugated goat pAb anti-human IgG1 (Abcam, cat#ab98623, lot#GR3319406) was immediately added to the cells with, and incubated at 4℃ for 30 min. After twice washing by the cold washing buffer, cells were re-suspended with 120 μL cold PBS and analyzed with flow cytometry. The median fluorescence intensity (MFI) value of FITC was fitted with antibody concentration, and the binding EC50 of several antibodies were calculated by the Prism6.02 statistic software. The results are shown in the figure 6, which indicates that all the 5 humanized anti-FGFR2b antibodies could bind to 293T-hFGFR2b cells but not 293T-hFGFR2c cells.Example 11: ADCC reporter bioassay of humanized mAbsThe ADCC reporter bioassay descripted in example 3, was also used to determine the ADCC activity humanized anti-FGFR2b antibodies. All the humanized anti-FGFR2b antibodies showed strong ADCC activity against KATO-III cells (ATCC, Cat#HTB-103) and KYSE-180 cells (FGFR2b low expression) (Cobioer, Cat: CBP60456) , with higher maximum RLU value of Hu52E2 than Benchmark and other anti-FGFR2b antibodies (See figure 7) .Example 12: Inhibition of FGF7-induced proliferation of MCF7 cells by anti-FGFR2b antibodiesMCF7 cells (Cobioer, Cat: CBP60380) , derived from the patient suffered triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) , were maintained by EMEM culture medium containing 10%FBS and 1×Penicillin-streptomycin. The cells were seeded in 96-well plates at 10, 000 cells per well in complete growth medium and cultured overnight to allow for adherence. Cells were then incubated in serum-free medium for 24 hours, followed by treatment with 30μg / mL of human IgG isotype or several anti-FGFR2b antibodies in the absence or presence of FGF7 (25 ng / mL) for 72 hours. Cell proliferation was assessed byluminescent cell viability assay supplied by Promega (Cat. no. G7571) . Samples and controls were tested in duplicate, and the mean reporter signals of sample dilutions in relative luminescent unit were plotted against the antibody concentration using Prism6.02 statistic software. As shown in the Figure 8., MCF7 cells were stimulated by FGF7 protein, and Benchmark and several anti-FGFR2b antibodies effectively blocked the FGF7-induced proliferation of MCF7 cells.Example 13: HTRF assay to detect the phosphorylation of FGFR2 and ERK1 / 2 proteins induced by FGF7 or FGF10 in SNU-16 cellsFGFR2b is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in cell survival, proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis mainly via RAS-MAPK signal pathway. In order to confirm whether the anti-FGFR2b antibodies can block the signal downstream induced by FGF7 and FGF10, we used a cell-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (HTRF) assay to detect the endogenous levels of phospho-ERK1 / 2 (Thr202 / Tyr204) and phospho-FGFR2 (Tyr653 / 654) induced the ligands FGF7 and FGF10 in SNU-16 cells (Cobioer, Cat: CBP60502) , the gastric cancer cells with FGFR2b amplification. Briefly, SNU-16 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 culture medium with 10%FBS and 1×Penicillin-streptomycin until the confluence reached 90%. Cells were plated into 96-well plates with PRMI-1640 without FBS medium and incubated overnight at 37℃, and followed by treatment with 15μg / mL or 0.15μg / mL of human IgG isotype or several anti-FGFR2b antibodies for 1.5 hours. Then the cells were treated with the ligand induced complex containing 30ng / ml FGF7 / 10 and 20ug / ml heparin for 5 minutes at 37℃. After the activation, cells were immediately incubated by lysis buffer for at least 30 minutes at room temperature under shaking. When completed the lysis step, 16 μL of cell lysate was transferred into the 96-half well white-plate and added 4 μL of premixed antibody solutions prepared in the detection buffer. The incubation complex systems were incubated for 4 hours at room temperature or overnight at 4℃, the phospho-ERK1 / 2 (Thr202 / Tyr204) and phospho-FGFR2 (Tyr653 / 654) were read via fluorescence emission at two different wavelengths (665nm and 620nm) on a compatible reader. HTRF ratio was calculated as (Signal 665 nm / Signal 620 nm) *104, which can reflect the cell phosphorylation level induced by respective ligands.As shown in the Figure 9, all the several anti-FGFR2b antibodies and Benchmark could significantly inhibited FGFR2 and ERK1 / 2 phosphorylation induced by FGF7 or FGF10.Example 14: PBMCs mediated ADCC activity of anti-FGFR2b antibodies targeting to KATO-III cellsIn vitro assays to determine the ADCC activity of FGFR2b antibodies were performed using flow cytometry analysis. Briefly, KATO-III cells (ATCC, Cat#HTB-103) were maintained in IMDM culture medium containing 20%FBS and 1×Penicillin-streptomycin, and freshly isolated PBMCs from healthy donors were obtained from SailyBio. lnc. (Shanghai, China) . Primay ADCC assays were conducted using effector cells from 2 independent donors on two different days. ADCC assay testing was performed using freshly isolated human PBMCs as effector cells at effector to target (E / T) cell ratio of 40: 1. The target cells were firstly labeled with CellTraceTM Far Red staining solution and incubated for 16 hours in the presence of effectors and increasing concentrations of several antibodies. Target cell lysis was indicated as double positive (Propidium Iodide Staining and Far Red Staining) using flow cytometry analysis. Maximal lysis was determined in the presence of 5%Trion X-100 and spontaneous release was determined in the absence of antibody. Percentage of specific lysis was calculated as follows, as a percentage of maximal lysis less spontaneous release:(Specific cell lysis) %= (Experimental-spontaneous release) / (Maximal-spontaneous release) ×100The results are shown in the Figure 10, several anti-FGFR2b humanized antibodies induced comparable specific KATO-III cell lysis mediated by PBMCs from two donors with 158V / V and 158V / F genotypes of FcγRIIIA.Example 15: Pharmacokinetic evaluation of humanized mAbsThe PK profile of anti-FGFR2b antibody and Bema as benchmark was characterized and compared head-to-head in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats following a single i. v. administration at 30 mg / kg. 18 female rats were randomly assigned into 6 groups (3 animals / group) and administered with either 30 mg / kg Benchmark, or Hu39C2, Hu55D6, Hu52E2, Hu35B11, Hu38D4 once via i. v. slow bolus injection at a dose volume of 10 mL / kg. Plasma across groups were harvested at pre-dose (0 min) and 30 min, 2 h, 8 h, 24 h, 48 h, D4, D7, D10, D14, D21, D28 post dosing and measured by partially validated ELISA assay for PK analysis with detection range from 0.156 to 20 ng / mL. Microplate wells are pre-coated with Human FGFR2b protein, His Tag (Acrobiosystems, FGB-H5223) . After blocking, standard (STD) , quality control (QC) samples, matrix blank sample and the test samples are added to the wells. After washing, the biotin mouse anti-human IgG4 (BD PharmingenTM, 555879) is added to the microplate wells and followed by Streptavidin labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) . Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is added to the microplate wells and colorimetric signal (blue) was developed in the presence of HRP. When color developed, stop solution is added to each well to stop the reaction. The optical density (OD) is measured using a microplate reader set to 450nm and 620nm. The conversion of optical density (OD) values for QC and test samples into concentration is performed by comparison to a concurrently analyzed standard curve regressed with a 4-parameter logistic model. mean, and mean plasma concentration-time curves were depicted in Figure 11. The related PK parameters (Table 7) were calculated and assessed by non-compartment analysis (NCA) using Phoenix software.Table 7 PK parameters following a single injection in SD ratsExample 16 Anti-tumor efficacy on SNU16 xenograft model using nude miceIn vitro study showed humanized anti-FGFR2b antibodies could induce ADCC effect on SNU16 (Cobioer, Cat: CBP60502) . Therefore, in vivo model was established and used for evaluation of anti-tumor activity. Briefly, SNU16 tumor blocks were scissored to 3-5 mm3 fragments, each female Balb / c nude mice was inoculated with a fragment of SNU16 tumor block immersed with matri-gel (Nova) by s.c. injection on the right flank using a trocar. 16 days after inoculation, 35 mice with tumor size around 80 mm3 were selected and randomized into 7 groups (n=5) . Then the mice were treated with isotype control or humanized anti-FGFR2b antibodies at a dose of 10 mg / kg, twice a week for 4 weeks by i. p. injection. Animals were sacrificed at the end of the study with CO2 inhalation. Tumor size and volume were measured twice a week. Results were analyzed using Prism GraphPad and expressed as mean±S. E. M.As shown in figure 12, Hu55D6, Hu38D4, Hu39C2, Hu35B11, Hu52E2 showed significant inhibition of tumor growth. Tumor size and the TGI of treatment group were summarized in the table 8.Table 8 Tumor Growth Inhibition (TGI) of Humanized anti-FGFR2b Antibodies in SNU16 Xenograft Model (mean±S.E.M., n=5)Example 17: Anti-FGFR2b antibodies mediated internalization on 293T_hFGFR2b cellsAnti-FGFR2b antibody induced target cell internalization was assessed using ZenonTM pHrodoTMiFL Green Human IgG Labeling Reagent (ThermoFisher, Cat. no. Z25611) as preferred by the kit instruction. Briefly, 293T_hFGFR2b (293T cell line which is stably transfected by hFGFR2b, constructed by KYinno Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Beijing) and 293T_hFGFR2c (293T cell line which is stably transfected by hFGFR2c, constructed by Kanghe Cell Genetic Engineering Research Institute Co., ltd, Nanjing) cells were respectively maintained in DMEM culture medium containing 10%FBS, 1×Penicillin-streptomycin, and 2ug / ml puromycin. Cells were plated into 96-well U-bottom cell culture plate as 1×105 cells per well, then added the mix solution containing antibodies and pH dye labeling reagent with final concentration at 20nM and 60nM respectively.
