Description

[0001] Novel polypeptides Field of the Invention The present invention relates to immune cell-engaging polypeptides comprising a CD16a-binding polypeptide and at least one additional functional portion, or comprising at least two CD16a-binding polypeptides and optionally at least one additional functional portion, having a linker as described here. The present invention also relates to immune cell-engaging polypeptides comprising a CD16a- binding polypeptide. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said immune cell-engaging polypeptides, and their use in the treatment and / or prophylaxis of cancer. Background of the Invention Immunotherapy has proven to be an effective treatment of several cancers with approved therapies constituting monoclonal and bispecific antibodies, immunomodulatory drugs and CAR-T treatments. Despite activity of these treatments, however, some patients exhibit very short responses or fail to respond to treatment. Side effects from some immunotherapies can be severe, especially side effects related to an exacerbated cytokine release. Indeed, cytokine release syndrome is one of the most common serious adverse effects of T cell-engaging immunotherapeutic agents (Shimabukuro-Vornhagen A et al. Cytokine release syndrome. J Immunother Cancer.2018;6(1):56. doi:10.1186 / s40425-018-0343-9). Many patients will also, eventually, become resistant to available treatments. Thus despite recent advances, there is still a need for additional treatment options in cancer immunotherapy. One apparent obstacle with current treatment modalities is suboptimal distribution to tumorous tissue. Rates of tissue distribution are negatively correlated with molecular size, and so larger molecules such as antibodies have less efficient tumour penetration than smaller ones. Another issue is immune evasion by cancer cells, which often involves inhibitory immune signals in the tumour environment. Examples of such signals include: the production of immunosuppressive cytokines and other molecules, such as TGFβ or VEGF; cell-mediated immunosuppression, e.g. via tumour-derived regulatory T cells; modulation of antigen presentation and MHCI expression; or altered expression of other ligands, e.g. increased expression of inhibitory checkpoint ligands (such as Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and HLA- E), which reduces tumour cell killing by CD8+ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells (Vinay D et al, Immune evasion in cancer: Mechanistic basis and therapeutic strategies, Seminars in Cancer Biology.2015:35 (Supplement):S185, https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.semcancer.2015.03.004; Ben-Shmuel A et al, Unleashing Natural Killer Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment - The Next Generation of Immunotherapy? Front Immunol.2020;11:275, doi:10.3389 / fimmu.2020.00275). NK cells are a component of the innate immune system whose functions include cytokine secretion and cell killing via secretion of perforin- and granzyme-containing cytolytic granules. They are capable of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) when target cells, such as tumour cells, are bound by IgG antibodies. Binding of the Fc antibody region to the CD16 receptor (FCγRIII) on NK cells overrides inhibitory signals, triggering cytokine secretion and lysis of the target cell (Vivier E et al, Functions of natural killer cells, Nat Immunol.2008;9:503, https: / / doi.org / 10.1038 / ni1582; Pallmer K and Oxenius A, Recognition and regulation of T cells by NK cells, Front Immunol 2016, 7:251, https: / / doi.org / 10.3389 / fimmu.2016.00251). CD16 is expressed in two forms, CD16a and CD16b, which vary in their expression patterns and affinities for IgG Fc. CD16a is the form predominantly expressed on NK cells, as well as being found on monocytes. CD16b, in contrast, is mostly found on neutrophils, though its expression can also be induced on eosinophils. Despite the high degree of sequence similarity (around 96%) between CD16a and CD16b, CD16a has a much higher binding affinity for IgG. (Roberts JT and Barb AW, A single amino acid distorts the Fc γ receptor IIIb / CD16b structure upon binding immunoglobulin G1 and reduces affinity relative to CD16a, J Biol Chem.2018;293(51):19899-19908, doi:10.1074 / jbc.RA118.005273). Genotypic variation of the CD16a (FcγRIIIa) receptor itself can also alter its binding affinity: the FcγRIIIa-176V / F polymorphism (rs396991) (in some publications where the leader sequence is excluded, position 176 is reported as position 158 and this numbering is also used in the Examples herein) results in either a valine (V) or phenylalanine (F) at position 176, giving rise to variable binding phenotypes (F / F: low affinity; V / V or V / F: high affinity, and therefore higher NK cell-mediated ADCC). (Chong KT et al., Distribution of the FcγRIIIa 176 F / V polymorphism amongst healthy Chinese, Malays and Asian Indians in Singapore, Br J Clin Pharmacol 2006;63(3): 328-332, doi: 10.1111 / j.1365- 2125.2006.02771.x). Recently, there has been increasing interest in harnessing the NK cell response for cancer immunotherapy. These include use of checkpoint inhibitor blockers, the ex vivo expansion and administration of NK cells, production of CAR-NK cells (analogous to CAR-T cell therapies), and the use of bi- or multivalent NK cell engagers that cross- link NK cells to cancer cells expressing specific antigens (Hofer E and Koehl U, Natural Killer Cell-Based Cancer Immunotherapies: From Immune Evasion to Promising Targeted Cellular Therapies, Front Immunol.2017;8:745, https: / / doi.org / 10.3389 / fimmu.2017.00745). Antibody-based NK engagers under development include Affimed’s AFM13 (an anti- CD16a / CD30 tetravalent bispecific antibody) and AFM24 (an anti-CD16a / EGFR IgG1- scFv fusion antibody). Both AFM13 and AFM24 have additionally been tested for their ability to induce tumour cell killing by macrophages via antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) (Wingert S et al, Preclinical evaluation of AFM24, a novel CD16A-specific innate immune cell engager targeting EGFR-positive tumors. MAbs.2021;13(1):1950264. doi:10.1080 / 19420862.2021.1950264; Wingert S et al, CD16A-Specific Tetravalent Bispecific Immune Cell Engagers Potently Induce Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis (ADCP) on Macrophages, Blood 2018;132(Supplement 1):1111, https: / / doi.org / 10.1182 / blood-2018-99-118427). Other bi- and multivalent NK engagers include the camelid VHH antibody-derived BiKEs and TriKEs, such as GT Biopharma’s GTB-3650 which contains CD33- and CD16a-targeting regions joined to the costimulatory molecule IL15. A further bispecific cell engager under development is RO7297089. RO7297089 is a bispecific tetravalent antibody targeting CD16a and BCMA (B‑Cell Maturation Antigen). BCMA is highly expressed on MM cells. The properties of the antibody compound were described in Kakiuchi-Kiyota et al. (Leukemia (2022) 36:1006–1014; https: / / doi.org / 10.1038 / s41375-021-01478-w), The findings from a Phase I dose- escalation study of RO7297089 in patients with Relapsed / Refractory Multiple Myeloma (Study registration NCT04434469) were reported by Plesner et al. (Poster Abstract 2755, Session 653, American Society of Hematology (ASH) Conference, 12 December 2021). Despite this progress, antibody-derived NK engagers still share the inherent difficulties associated with existing antibody cancer therapeutics, especially with regard to immunogenicity and tissue penetration. There therefore remains a need for improved cancer immunotherapeutics that can be delivered more efficiently to the tumour, while retaining the target specificity of antibodies and antibody-based drugs and avoiding potential side-effects. The present invention seeks to address the afore-mentioned needs.

The various elements of the polypeptides of the invention will now be described in further detail: Overall structure The polypeptides of the present invention may be based on three-helix scaffolds, sometimes referred to as ‘affibodies’. Affibodies are small (around 6.5 kDa) engineered affinity ligands, based on the Z-domain polypeptide, which is a mutated version of the B-domain in the immunoglobulin-binding region of staphylococcal protein A (Nord K et al., Binding proteins selected from combinatorial libraries of an α-helical bacterial receptor domain, Nature Biotech, 1997:15:772, doi: 10.1038 / nbt0897-772). In a full length affibody, the C-terminal portion includes [Second separating portion]-[Helix 3]-[C-terminal sequence]. The general structure of an affibody is shown in Figure 1a. The portions of the molecules of the invention referred to as Helix 1 and Helix 2 (and Helix 3, when present) are generally helical in structure. In some rare embodiments, it can be found that the structure established by the sequence with particular residues can be not strictly helical. Such compounds are to be considered within the broadest aspect of the invention. More preferably, the residues in the Helix 1 and Helix 2 portions do result in those structures being helical, in the sense of being alpha-helical. Sequences of the polypeptides of the invention The sequence of the CD16a-binding polypeptides as disclosed herein may be expressed in terms of their constituent amino acids or in terms of nucleic acid sequences encoding polypeptides having those amino acid sequences. In the context of the present disclosure, the term “amino acid” encompasses any naturally occurring amino acid or unnatural amino acid. The term “unnatural amino acid” as used herein refers to non-proteinogenic (i.e. non-encoded) amino acids, which may either be found in nature or are chemically synthesised (for example citrulline, hydroxyproline, beta-alanine, ornithine, norleucine, 3-nitrotyrosine, pyroglutamic acid, nitroarginine, homoleucine or tert-butylalanine). It includes α, β, γ and δ amino acids. It includes an amino acid in any chiral configuration. The amino acid may, especially, be a naturally occurring α amino acid. The amino acid may, especially, be a naturally occurring L amino acid. The amino acid may, especially, be a naturally occurring L-α amino acid. Within a polypeptide chain (for example a CD16a-binding polypeptide as disclosed herein), the amino acids are linked by peptide bonds between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amine group of the next amino acid in the chain. An individual amino acid is called a “residue” or “amino acid residue” once it is linked in a polypeptide chain. The amino acid sequences herein are shown with the N-terminus to the left, and where sequences are set out across multiple lines, the N-terminus is to the top left. Unless indicated otherwise, the amino acid residues in the sequences are L-amino acids. The amino acid sequences listed in the application are shown using standard letter abbreviations for amino acids. The specific sequences given herein relate to specific embodiments of the invention. The present disclosure also includes derivatives of all the sequences described herein (for example, derivatives of each of the CD16a-binding polypeptide and CD16a- binding oligomer sequences described here). Derivatives of the sequences described herein are preferably derivatives wherein from 1 to 5 (for example 1, 2 or 3 amino acid residues) may be replaced by an alternative residue, for example a different naturally occurring amino acid or a different unnatural amino acid; or a different naturally occurring amino acid excluding methionine or a different unnatural amino acid. Preferably, an unnatural amino acid according to the present invention is one that is isosteric with a naturally occurring amino acid, for example norleucine. In one embodiment, an unnatural amino acid according to the present invention is one selected from norleucine, homoleucine and tert-butylalanine For example, in one embodiment, one or more (for example each) methionine residues of the sequences described herein may be replaced by a different naturally occurring amino acid or unnatural amino acid, such as an amino acid selected from isoleucine, leucine, glutamine, norleucine, homoleucine and tert-butylalanine (for example isoleucine, leucine, glutamine, and norleucine; or norleucine, homoleucine and tert-butylalanine); and especially isoleucine and norleucine. For example, from 1 to 5 methionine residues, from 1 to 3 methionine residues (for example 1, 2 or 3 methionine residues), or 1 or 2 methionine residues, or 1 methionine residue, when present, may be replaced by a different naturally occurring amino acid or unnatural amino acid, such as an amino acid selected from isoleucine, leucine, glutamine, valine, norleucine, homoleucine and tert-butylalanine (for example isoleucine, leucine, glutamine, and norleucine; or norleucine, homoleucine and tert- butylalanine); and especially isoleucine and norleucine. For example, in embodiments wherein X11may be or is methionine, the residue at X11may be replaced by a different naturally occurring amino acid or unnatural amino acid, such as an amino acid selected from isoleucine, leucine, glutamine, norleucine, homoleucine and tert-butylalanine; and especially isoleucine and norleucine.

As mentioned above, full identity with the sequences set out for (i) is not required (though in one preferred embodiment of the invention, the peptide does have the exact recited sequence). Of the residues denoted with an Xnlabel, in certain embodiments, at least 1 and no more than 8 of the residues may be replaced with an alternative residue. The replaced residues may be in Helix 1 or in Helix 2, or there may be 1 or more replaced residues in each of Helix 1 and Helix 2 (for example, there may be replaced residue in one of them and 1 or 2 replaced residues in the other). For example, there may be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 (for example 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, or 1, 2 or 3) replaced residues in the residues denoted with an Xnlabel, for example 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, for example 1 or 2, or 1. As there are 15 residues with an Xnlabel, a peptide with 5 residues replaced has 67% sequence identity with the recited sequence. For replacement of 3 residues, it is 80% and for replacement of 1 residue it is 93% sequence identity. For replacement of 2 residues, it is 87% and for replacement of 1 residue it is 93% sequence identity. In an embodiment in which there are 14 residues with an Xnlabel, a peptide with 5 residues replaced has 64% sequence identity with the recited sequence. For replacement of 3 residues, it is 79% and for replacement of 1 residue it is 93% sequence identity.For replacement of 2 residues, it is 86% and for replacement of 1 residue it is 93% sequence identity.

Preferably, at least 1 and no more than 3 of the residues may be replaced with an alternative residue. The replaced residues may be in either Helix 1 or in Helix 2, or there may be 1 or more replaced residues in each of Helix 1 and Helix 2 (for example there may be replaced residue in one of them and 1 or 2 replaced residues in the other). For example, there may be 1, 2 or 3 replaced residues in the residues not denoted with an Xnlabel, particularly 1 or 2, for example 1. As there are 8 residues without an Xnlabel, a peptide with 3 residues replaced has 63% sequence identity with the recited sequence. For replacement of 2 residues, it is 75% and for replacement of 1 residue it is 88% sequence identity. In an embodiment, the total number of residues in the Helix 1 and Helix 2 portions that are replaced is at least 1 and no more than 11, (for example no more than 10, for example no more than 9, for example no more than 8, for example no more than 7), for example at least 1 and no more than 6, for example at least 1 and no more than 5, at least 1 and no more than 4, for example at least 1 and no more than 3, for example 1 at least 1 and no more than 2. Particularly, there may be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 replacement residues in total in those portions. For example, an amino acid residue replacement for a residue denoted as Xnor a residue not denoted as Xnmay be a conservative replacement. That is to say that a residue is replaced with another residue in the same class, for example: An aliphatic residue (Glycine (G), Alanine (A), Valine (V), Leucine (L) or Isoleucine (I)) may be replaced with another aliphatic residue. A hydroxyl-, sulphur- or selenium- containing residue (Serine (S), Cysteine (C), Selenocysteine (U), Threonine (T) or Methionine (M)) may be replaced with another hydroxyl-, sulphur- or selenium- containing residue. An aromatic residue (Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y) or Tryptophan (W)) may be replaced with another aromatic residue. A basic residue (Histidine (H), Lysine (K), Arginine (R)) may be replaced with another basic residue. An acidic residue or amide (Aspartate (D), Glutamate (E), Asparagine (N), Glutamine (Q)) may be replaced with another acidic residue or amide. Alternatively, an amino acid residue replacement for a residue denoted as Xnor a residue not denoted as Xnmay be a non-conservative replacement, i.e. a residue is replaced with another residue in a different class, for example an aliphatic residue (Glycine (G), Alanine (A), Valine (V), Leucine (L) or Isoleucine (I)) may be replaced with an aromatic residue (Phenylalanine (F), Tyrosine (Y) or Tryptophan (W)), or for example replaced by an amino acid with opposite characteristics, for example replacement of a Lysine (K) residue with an Aspartic acid (D) residue.

In one preferred aspect of the invention, the CD16a binding polypeptide comprises the sequence: a*)VDNKFNKEVQMAQFEIRKLPNLNHHQSFAFIKSLMDDPSQSANLLAEAKKLNDAQ APK [SEQ ID NO: 1]; In a further aspect of the invention the CD16a binding polypeptide comprises the sequence: b*)VDNKFNKEQFYARDEIDLLPNLNEDQKWAFYMSLIDDPSQSANLLAEAKKLNDAQ APK [SEQ ID NO: 2]; In a further aspect of the invention the CD16a binding polypeptide comprises the sequence: c*)VDNKFNKEFWIAESEIESLPNLNIYQKWAFKYSLADDPSQSANLLAEAKKLNDAQAP K [SEQ ID NO: 3].

In a further preferred aspect of the invention the CD16a binding polypeptide comprises the sequence: VDNKFNKEQQIAQYEIRKLPNLNHHQTFAFIKSLLDDPSQSANLLAEAKKLNDAQAPK [SEQ ID NO: 51]. As discussed above, a number of residues in the polypeptides of the invention may be substituted by an alternative residue. For example, in a polypeptide as set out in a*), b*) or c*) immediately above (or SEQ ID No.35 or 51 immediately above) , at least 1 and no more than 5 of the residues may be replaced by an alternative residue. For example, the number of replaced residues is at least 1 and no more than 4, for example at least 1 and no more than 3, for example 1 at least 1 and no more than 2. Particularly, there may be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 replacement residues in total in those portions. As there are 58 residues in polypeptides of this aspect of the invention, a peptide with 5 residues replaced has 91% sequence identity (91.4%) with the recited sequence. For replacement of 4 residues, it is 93% (93.1%), for replacement of 3 residues, it is 95% (94.8%), for replacement of 2 residues it is 97% (96.6%) and for replacement of 1 residue it is 98% sequence identity (98.3%). As mentioned above, in an embodiment, a*) Helix 1 comprises the sequence VQMAQFEIRK and Helix 2 comprises the sequence HHQSFAFIKSLM. In that embodiment, as in others, a number of residues may each be substituted by an alternative residue, as described herein. In any such alternative polypeptides of the invention with alternative residues in place, binding to the CD16a receptor is maintained. For example, the CD16a binding efficacy is at least 1% of the binding efficacy of the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. With 1% binding efficacy, it is understood that the IC50concentration of the alternative polypeptide for binding to the CD16a receptor is no more than 100 times the IC50 concentration for the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. More preferably, the binding efficacy is at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 25% or 50% of the binding efficacy of the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. That is to say that the IC50concentration of the alternative polypeptide for binding to the CD16a receptor is no more than 20 times, 10 times, 5 times, 4 times or 2 times the IC50concentration for the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. As also mentioned above, in an embodiment, b*) Helix 1 comprises the sequence QFYARDEIDL and Helix 2 comprises the sequence EDQKWAFYMSLI. In that embodiment, as in others, a number of residues may each be substituted by an alternative residue, as described herein. In any such alternative polypeptides of the invention with alternative residues in place, binding to the CD16a receptor is maintained. For example, the CD16a binding efficacy is at least 1% of the binding efficacy of the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 74 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. With 1% binding efficacy, it is understood that the IC50concentration of the alternative polypeptide for binding to the CD16a receptor is no more than 100 times the IC50concentration for the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 74 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. More preferably, the binding efficacy is at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 25% or 50% of the binding efficacy of the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 74 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. That is to say that the IC50concentration of the alternative polypeptide for binding to the CD16a receptor is no more than 20 times, 10 times, 5 times, 4 times or 2 times the IC50concentration for the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 74 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. As also mentioned above, in an embodiment, c*) Helix 1 comprises the sequence FWIAESEIES and Helix 2 comprises the sequence IYQKWAFKYSLA. In that embodiment, as in others, a number of residues may each be substituted by an alternative residue, as described herein. In any such alternative polypeptides of the invention with alternative residues in place, binding to the CD16a receptor is maintained. For example, the CD16a binding efficacy is at least 1% of the binding efficacy of the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 75 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions. With 1% binding efficacy, it is understood that the IC50concentration of the alternative polypeptide for binding to the CD16a receptor is no more than 100 times the IC50concentration for the peptide of SEQ ID NO: 75 to the CD16a receptor, when measured under the same conditions.

In embodiments of the invention, said linker is between, and thus separates, two or more CD16a-binding polypeptides, for example in a CD16a-binding oligomer of the present invention, or is between, and thus separates, one or more CD16a-binding polypeptide or one or more CD16a-binding oligomer and one or more additional functional portion, for example an immune signalling molecule or an additional binding moiety (for example as described in further detail below). In certain embodiments of the invention, the linker is a branched linker and said linker is between, and thus separates, three or more function portions as described herein. For example, said linker is between, and thus separates, three or more CD16a-binding polypeptides (for example in a CD16a-binding oligomer of the present invention), or is between, and thus separates, one or two or more CD16a-binding polypeptide and one or two or more additional functional portions, for example an immune signalling molecule or an additional binding moiety (for example as described in further detail below). In embodiments and aspects of the present invention that comprise more than one linker, each linker may be the same, or may be different, or some linkers may be the same, and some may be different (for example in embodiments having more than one linker as described herein). With regard to the description above of binding polypeptides comprising a CD16a- binding polypeptide according to the disclosure, it is to be noted that the designation of first, second and further moieties is made for clarity reasons to distinguish between CD16a-binding polypeptide or polypeptides according to the invention on the one hand, and binding moieties exhibiting other functions on the other hand. These designations are not intended to refer to the actual order of the different regions of the binding polypeptide. Similarly, the designations first and second moiety (or monomer unit) are made for clarity reasons to distinguish between said units. Thus, for example, said first moiety (or monomer unit) may without restriction appear at the N-terminal end, in the middle, or at the C-terminal end of the binding polypeptide. Additional functional portions CD16a binding polypeptides as disclosed herein may be connected via a linker (for example one or more linkers) as described herein, to one or more additional functional portions. CD16a binding oligomers as disclosed herein may be connected via a linker (for example one or more linkers) as described herein, to one or more additional functional portions.
