AI Technical Summary
Current cancer therapies lack effective targeting of Protein Tyrosine Kinase 7 (PTK7), which is overexpressed in various cancers, leading to chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis, necessitating new immunotherapies that specifically target PTK7 without affecting non-expressing cells.
Development of antibody-drug conjugates that selectively bind to PTK7, conjugating a drug-linker to an anti-PTK7 antibody, allowing release of a cytotoxic payload like exatecan to treat PTK7-positive cancers while sparing non-expressing cells.
The antibody-drug conjugates exert a clinically useful cytotoxic effect on PTK7-expressing tumor cells, reducing chemotherapy resistance and metastasis without harming non-PTK7 expressing cells.

Description
WSGR Docket No.63125-715.601 CONJUGATES AND USES THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCE
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 636,041 filed on April 18, 2024, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 722,552 filed on November 19, 2024, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND
[0002] Protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7), also known as colon carcinoma kinase 4 (CCK4),is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in non-canonical Wnt signaling and was first identified as a gene upregulated in colon cancer cells. PTK belongs to the Wnt ligand binding receptor family whose other members include receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptors 1 (ROR1) and 2 (ROR2), and receptor tyrosine kinase RYK. Members of this receptor family are transmembrane proteins that are void of kinase activity. PTK7 plays roles in embryonic development, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, and stem cell signaling; however, expression of PTK7 is absent or minimal in differentiated healthy adult tissues. Overexpression of PTK7 has been reported in a variety of cancers including head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), bladder cancer, and ovarian cancer. In this milieu, PTK7 promotes cell survival, migration, and invasion, and chemotherapy resistance.
[0003] PTK7 expression has been associated with poor prognosis and higher metastaticpotential in patients with various cancers, and thus represents a promising therapeutic target. In view of PTK7’s critical role in tumor progression, there is a need for new and improved cancer immunotherapies that target PTK7. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The present disclosure provides antibody-drug conjugates that bind specifically toPTK7. Drug-linkers are conjugated to an anti-PTK7 antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof to form antibody-drug conjugates that target PTK7 and ultimately release a payload of choice (e.g., exatecan) to treat a PTK7-positive cancer. To this end, the present invention provides novel antibody-drug conjugates that target PTK7-positive cancers. The disclosed anti- PTK7 antibody-drug conjugates can exert a clinically useful cytotoxic effect on PTK7 expressing tumor cells without exerting undesirable effects on non-PTK7 expressing cells.

The targeting moiety binds to a target molecule. A Targeting Unit may include, for example, an antibody, a peptide, a ligand, a receptor, or a binding portion thereof. The target biological molecule may be a biological receptor or other structure of a cell such as a tumor antigen.
[0103] The term “antibody” means whole antibodies and any antigen binding fragment (i.e.,“antigen-binding portion”) or single chain variants thereof. A whole antibody is a protein comprising at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region comprising three domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain comprises a light chain variable region (VL or Vk) and a light chain constant region comprising one single domain, CL. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDRs), interspersed with more conserved framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL comprises three CDRs (HCDR herein designates a CDR from the heavy chain; and LCDR herein designates a CDR from the light chain) and four FRs, arranged from amino- to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The variable regions contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The constant regions may mediate the binding of the antibody to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (Clq) of the classical complement system.
[0104] The assignment of amino acid numbers, and of FR and CDR regions, in the heavy orlight chain may be in accordance with IMGT®definitions (Lefranc et al., Dev Comp Immunol. (2003) 27(1):55-77); or the definitions of Kabat, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (1987 and 1991)); Chothia & Lesk, J Mol Biol. (1987) 196:901-17; Chothia et al., Nature (1989) 342:878-83; Abhinandan et al., Molecular Immunology (2008) 45(14):3832-39; MacCallum et al., J Mol Biol. (1996) 262:732- 45; or Honegger and Plückthun, J Mol Biol. (2001) 309(3):657-70. The CDR boundaries of various schemes are illustrated in Table Z, where the amino acid numbers are Kabat numbers unless otherwise indicated. Table Z. CDR Delineations According to Various Schemes-32-WSGR Docket No.63125-715.601
[0105] An antibody is said to “specifically bind” to an antigen X if the antibody binds toantigen X with a KD of 5×10−8M or less, more preferably 1×10−8M or less, more preferably 6×10−9M or less, more preferably 3×10−9M or less, even more preferably 2×10−9M or less. The antibody can be chimeric, humanized, or, preferably, human. The heavy chain constant region can be engineered to affect glycosylation type or extent, to extend antibody half-life, to enhance or reduce inter-actions with effector cells or the complement system, or to modulate some other property. The engineering can be accomplished by replacement, addition, or deletion of one or more amino acids or by replacement of a domain with a domain from another immunoglobulin type, or a combination of the foregoing.
[0106] The term “antigen binding fragment” and “antigen binding portion” of an antibody(or simply “antibody portion” or “antibody fragment”) mean one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full-length antibody, such as (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab’)2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fab’ fragment, which is essentially an Fab with part of the hinge region (see, for example, Abbas et al., Cellular and Molecular Immunology, 6th Ed., Saunders Elsevier 2007); (iv) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (v) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody, (vi) a dAb fragment (Ward et al., (1989) Nature 341:544-546), which consists of a VH domain; (vii) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR); and (viii) a nanobody, a heavy chain variable region containing a single variable domain and two constant domains. Preferred antigen binding fragments are Fab, F(ab’)2, Fab’, Fv, and Fd fragments. Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are encoded by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv, or scFv); see, e.g., Bird et al. (1988) Science 242:423-426; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883). Such single chain antibodies are also encompassed within the term “antigen-binding portion” of an antibody. -33-WSGR Docket No.63125-715.601
[0107] Antibody portions, such as Fab and F(ab’)2 fragments, can be prepared from wholeantibodies using conventional techniques, such as papain or pepsin digestion of whole antibodies. Moreover, antibodies, antibody portions and immunoadhesin molecules can be obtained using standard recombinant DNA techniques, e.g., as described herein.
[0108] In some embodiments, antibodies may originate from non-human sources and havebeen humanized to reduce anti-antibody immune responses. The term “humanize” refers to the fact that where an antibody is wholly or partially of non-human origin (for example, a murine or chicken antibody obtained from immunization of mice or chickens, respectively, with an antigen of interest, or a chimeric antibody based on such a murine or chicken antibody), it is possible to replace certain amino acids, in particular in the framework regions and constant regions of the heavy and light chains, in order to avoid or minimize an immune response in humans. Although it is not possible to precisely predict the immunogenicity, and thereby the human anti-antibody response, of a particular antibody, non-human antibodies tend to be more immunogenic in humans than human antibodies. Antibodies of non-human origin thus can be humanized to reduce the risk of a human anti-antibody response.
[0109] Humanization typically involves modification of the framework regions of thevariable domain sequences. Amino acid residues that are part of complementarity determining regions (CDRs) most often will not be altered in connection with humanization, although in certain cases it may be desirable to alter individual CDR amino acid residues, for example to remove a glycosylation site, a deamidation site, an aspartate isomerization site or an undesired cysteine or methionine residue. N-linked glycosylation occurs by attachment of an oligosaccharide chain to an asparagine residue in the tripeptide sequence Asn-X-Ser or Asn-X- Thr, where X may be any amino acid except Pro. Removal of an N-glycosylation site may be achieved by mutating either the Asn or the Ser / Thr residue to a different residue, preferably by way of conservative substitution. Deamidation of asparagine and glutamine residues can occur depending on factors such as pH and surface exposure. Asparagine residues are particularly susceptible to deamidation, primarily when present in the sequence Asn-Gly, and to a lesser extent in other dipeptide sequences such as Asn-Ser, Asn-Thr, and Asn-Ala. When such a deamidation site, in particular Asn-Gly, is present in a CDR sequence, it may therefore be desirable to remove the site, typically by conservative substitution to remove one of the implicated residues.
[0110] The term “isolated antibody” means an antibody that is substantially free of otherantibodies having different antigenic specificities (e.g., an isolated antibody that specifically binds antigen X is substantially free of antibodies that specifically bind antigens other than antigen X). An isolated antibody that specifically binds antigen X may, however, have cross- -34-WSGR Docket No.63125-715.601 reactivity to other antigens, such as antigen X molecules from other species. In certain embodiments, an isolated antibody specifically binds to human antigen X and does not cross- react with other (non-human) antigen X antigens. Moreover, an isolated antibody may be substantially free of other cellular material and / or chemicals.
[0111] The term “monoclonal antibody” or “monoclonal antibody composition” means apreparation of antibody molecules of single molecular composition, which displays a single binding specificity and affinity for a particular epitope.
[0112] The term “human antibody” means an antibody having variable regions in whichboth the framework and CDR regions (and the constant region, if present) are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. Human antibodies may include later modifications, including natural or synthetic modifications. Human antibodies may include amino acid residues not encoded by human germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or site-specific mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo). However, “human antibody” does not include antibodies in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species, such as a mouse, have been grafted onto human framework sequences.
[0113] The term “human monoclonal antibody” means an antibody displaying a singlebinding specificity, which has variable regions in which both the framework and CDR regions are derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In one embodiment, human monoclonal antibodies are produced by a hybridoma that includes a B cell obtained from a transgenic nonhuman animal, e.g., a transgenic mouse, having a genome comprising a human heavy chain transgene and a light chain transgene fused to an immortalized cell.
[0114] The term "epitope" refers to the amino acids conventionally bound by animmunoglobulin VH / VL pair, such as the antibodies, antigen binding portions thereof and other binding agents described herein. Other binding agents comprise non-antibody scaffolds. An epitope can be formed on a polypeptide from contiguous amino acids or noncontiguous amino acids juxtaposed by tertiary folding of a protein. Epitopes formed from contiguous amino acids are typically retained on exposure to denaturing solvents, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary folding are typically lost on treatment with denaturing solvents. An epitope typically includes at least 3, and more usually, at least 5, about 9, or about 8-10 amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. An epitope defines the minimum binding site for an antibody, antigen binding portions thereof and other binding agent, and thus represents the target of specificity of an antibody, antigen binding portion thereof or other immunoglobulin-based binding agent. In the case of a single domain antibody, an epitope represents the unit of structure bound by a variable domain in isolation. -35-WSGR Docket No.63125-715.601
[0115] A “variant” antibody or antigen-binding portion has amino acid substitutions (whichmay be conservative or non-conservative) from a reference antibody or antigen-binding portion, but does not have substantially altered biologic activity from the reference antibody or antigen- binding portion. For example, the variant antibody or antigen-binding portion may retain at least 50%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% of the binding affinity of the reference antibody or antigen-binding portion, or may exceed the binding affinity of the reference antibody or antigen-binding portion.
[0116] The term “specifically binds” refers to the ability of a molecule (e.g., an antibody orantigen binding portion thereof or non-antibody scaffold) described herein to bind to a target with a KD of 10-5M (10000 nM) or less, e.g., 10-6M, 10-7M, 10-8M, 10-9M, 10-10M, 10-11M, 10-12M, or less. Specific binding can be influenced by, for example, the affinity and avidity of the antibody, antigen binding portion or other binding agent and the concentration of target polypeptide.
[0117] As used herein, the term “approximately” or “about” as applied to one or more valuesof interest refers to a value that is similar to a stated reference value. In certain embodiments, the term refers to a range of values that fall within 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or less in either direction (greater than or less than) of the stated reference value unless otherwise stated or otherwise evident from the context.
[0118] The term “cleavable unit” refers to a chemical group that may be cleaved by action ofan internal or external, preferably external, stimulus. The stimulus triggering the cleavage of the cleavable unit may be for instance pH or temperature conditions, or the presence of an enzyme. Cleavage of the cleavable unit preferably triggers self-immolation of the phenyl-comprising linker of the compounds of the invention, and release of the active agent D.
[0119] The term “cleavable sugar unit” or “sugar cleavable unit” can refer to a sugar moiety,preferably a glucuronide or a galactoside.

[0270] Deuterium substituted compounds are synthesized using various methods such asdescribed in: Dean, Dennis C.; Editor. Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Applications of Radiolabeled Compounds for Drug Discovery and Development. [In: Curr., Pharm. Des., 2000; 6(10)] 2000, 110 pp; George W.; Varma, Rajender S. The Synthesis of Radiolabeled Compounds via Organometallic Intermediates, Tetrahedron, 1989, 45(21), 6601-21; and Evans, E. Anthony. Synthesis of radiolabeled compounds, J. Radioanal. Chem., 1981, 64(1-2), 9-32.
[0271] Deuterated starting materials are readily available and are subjected to the syntheticmethods described herein to provide for the synthesis of deuterium-containing compounds. Large numbers of deuterium-containing reagents and building blocks are available commercially from chemical vendors, such as Aldrich Chemical Co.
[0272] Compounds of the present invention also include crystalline and amorphous forms ofthose compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrates), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms of the compounds, as well as mixtures thereof.
[0273] The compounds described herein may in some cases exist as diastereomers,enantiomers, or other stereoisomeric forms. Where absolute stereochemistry is not specified, the compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Separation of stereoisomers may be performed by chromatography or by forming diastereomers and separating by recrystallization, or chromatography, or any combination thereof. (Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, “Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions”, John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981, herein incorporated by reference for this disclosure). Stereoisomers may also be obtained by stereoselective synthesis.
[0274] The methods and compositions described herein include the use of amorphous formsas well as crystalline forms (also known as polymorphs). The compounds described herein may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. As well, in some embodiments, active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity are included in the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, the compounds described herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. -476-WSGR Docket No.63125-715.601 The solvated forms of the compounds presented herein are also considered to be disclosed herein.
[0275] In certain embodiments, compounds or salts of the compounds may be prodrugs, e.g.,wherein a hydroxyl in the parent compound is presented as an ester or a carbonate, or carboxylic acid present in the parent compound is presented as an ester. The term “prodrug” is intended to encompass compounds which, under physiologic conditions, are converted into pharmaceutical agents of the present disclosure. One method for making a prodrug is to include one or more selected moieties which are hydrolyzed under physiologic conditions to reveal the desired molecule. In other embodiments, the prodrug is converted by an enzymatic activity of the host animal such as specific target cells in the host animal. For example, esters or carbonates (e.g., esters or carbonates of alcohols or carboxylic acids and esters of phosphonic acids) are preferred prodrugs of the present disclosure.
[0276] Prodrug forms of the herein described compounds, wherein the prodrug ismetabolized in vivo to produce a compound as set forth herein are included within the scope ofthe claims. In some cases, some of the herein-described compounds may be a prodrug for another derivative or active compound.
[0277] Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier toadminister than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. Prodrugs may help enhance the cell permeability of a compound relative to the parent drug. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. Prodrugs may be designed as reversible drug derivatives, for use as modifiers to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues or to increase drug residence inside of a cell.
[0278] In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the lipophilicity of thepharmaceutical agent. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effectivewater solubility.
