Description

B7-H3 / EGFR binding molecules and medical uses thereof

[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to patent application CN202410533401.7 filed on April 29, 2024 and patent application CN202410854573.4 filed on June 27, 2024. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of biomedicine, in particular to B7-H3 / EGFR binding molecules, B7-H3 binding molecules, EGFR binding molecules, and methods and related pharmaceutical uses thereof for treating cancer. BACKGROUND

[0003] B7-H3, also known as B7 homolog 3, CD276 or B7RP-2, is a new member of the B7 family discovered in early 2000. Its gene was first cloned by Chapoval et al. in 2001 from a human dendritic cell cDNA library. The amino acid sequence of B7-H3 has 27% homology with B7 family proteins and has high structural similarity, and it has an impact on the function of T cells. B7-H3 is a tumor-associated antigen that is widely expressed and significantly upregulated in various malignancies, including small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and soft tissue sarcoma. Therefore, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) targeting B7-H3 can specifically deliver cytotoxins to tumor cells, effectively killing tumor cells, and have the potential for tumor treatment. Several B7-H3 monoclonal antibody ADCs are currently in clinical development and have shown good results in some tumors, but there is still room for improvement in the scope of indications and efficacy.

[0004] Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, ErbB-1 or HER1) is another important tumor-associated antigen. Its overexpression affects the proliferation and apoptosis of tumor cells, is highly expressed in multiple cancers, and is associated with poor prognosis in patients. However, EGFR is also expressed in multiple normal tissues, so antibodies targeting EGFR often have target-related side effects in normal tissues, limiting the dosage and efficacy of the drug.

[0005] In order to expand the population of beneficiaries, exert the synergistic effect of targeting multiple tumor-associated antigens, and improve the response rate, it is necessary to design a bispecific antibody-drug conjugate targeting two tumor-associated antigens, B7-H3 and EGFR, which are highly expressed in tumors, to improve efficacy and reduce the risk of targeting EGFR single target, and increase the therapeutic window. SUMMARY

[0006] The present disclosure provides B7-H3 binding molecules, EGFR binding molecules, B7-H3 / EGFR binding molecules, and encoding nucleic acids, vectors, host cells, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of using the same for treating cancer and related pharmaceutical uses.

[0403] TERMINOLOGY

[0404] To facilitate a better understanding of the present disclosure, certain technical and scientific terms are specifically defined below. Unless specifically defined in the present disclosure, all other technical and scientific terms used in the present disclosure have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art in the field of the present disclosure.

[0405] “EGFR” and “HER1” are used interchangeably and include variants, isoforms, species homologs of human EGFR, and analogs having at least one common epitope with EGFR.

[0406] “B7-H3” and “CD276” are used interchangeably and include variants, isoforms, species homologs of human B7-H3, and analogs having at least one common epitope with B7-H3.

[0407] “Binding to EGFR” or “binding to B7-H3” means the ability to interact with an antigen (EGFR or B7-H3) or an epitope thereof, which can be of human origin.

[0408] “Binding molecule” encompasses any molecule capable of specifically binding to an antigen or an epitope thereof, including but not limited to an antibody or conjugate thereof as defined in the present disclosure. The “binding molecule” of the present disclosure can comprise a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), such as Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, single chain antibody (scFv), or IgG antibody.

[0409] "Antibody" encompasses a variety of antibody structures, including, but not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies; monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), full-length antibodies and antibody fragments (or antigen binding fragments, or antigen binding portions), so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. An antibody can refer to an immunoglobulin, which is a tetrameric molecule consisting of two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bonds. The heavy chains of an immunoglobulin have the same amino acid composition and order, but the antigenic properties of the immunoglobulin are different. Accordingly, the immunoglobulin can be classified into five classes, or isotypes, namely IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, whose corresponding heavy chains are μ, δ, γ, α, and ε, respectively. The same class of Ig can be further divided into subclasses, e.g., IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, based on the differences in the amino acid composition and the number and location of disulfide bonds in the hinge region of the heavy chain. The light chains are classified into κ or λ chains by the constant region.

[0410] The sequences of the heavy and light chains of an antibody near the N-terminus are highly variable, forming the variable region (V region), while the sequences further from the N-terminus are relatively stable, forming the constant region (C region). The variable region includes three hypervariable regions (HVRs) and four relatively conserved framework regions (FRs). The three hypervariable regions determine the specificity of the antibody, also known as the complementarity-determining region (CDR). Each light chain variable region (VL) and heavy chain variable region (VH) is composed of three CDR regions and four FR regions, arranged in the order of FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4 from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus. The three CDR regions of the light chain are referred to as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, and the three CDR regions of the heavy chain are referred to as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3.

[0411] "Antigen binding fragment" encompasses single chain antibodies (i.e., full-length heavy and light chains); Fab, modified Fab, Fab', modified Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, Fab-Fv, Fab-dsFv, single domain antibodies (e.g., VH or VL or VHH), scFv, bivalent or trivalent or tetravalent antibodies, Bis-scFv, diabody, tribody, triabody, tetrabody, and epitope binding fragments of any of the above (see, e.g., Holliger and Hudson, 2005, Nature Biotech. 23(9): 1126-1136; Adair and Lawson, 2005, Drug Design Reviews-Online 2(3) 209-217).

[0412] Methods of producing and making these antigen binding fragments are well known in the art (see, for example, Verma et al., 1998, Journal of Immunological Methods, 216, 165-181). Fab-Fv formats were first disclosed in WO2009 / 040562, and the disulfide stabilized version Fab-dsFv was first disclosed in WO2010 / 035012. The antigen binding fragments of the present disclosure also include the Fab and Fab' fragments described in WO2005 / 003169, WO2005 / 003170 and WO2005 / 003171. Multivalent antibodies can comprise multispecificity, e.g. bispecificity, or can be monospecific (see, for example, WO92 / 22583 and WO05 / 113605), one example of the latter being the Tri-Fab (or TFM) described in WO 92 / 22583.

[0413] For the determination or definition of CDRs, a definitive delineation of CDRs and identification of residues of the binding site can be accomplished by resolving the structure of the antibody and / or resolving the structure of the antibody-ligand complex. This can be achieved by any of a variety of techniques known to those of skill in the art, e.g., X-ray crystallography. A variety of analytical methods can be used to identify CDRs, including but not limited to the Kabat numbering system, the Chothia numbering system, the AbM numbering system, the IMGT numbering system, contact definition, conformational definition.

[0414] The Kabat numbering system is a standard for numbering residues in antibodies and is commonly used to identify CDR regions (see, e.g., Johnson & Wu, 2000, Nucleic Acids Res., 28:214-8). The Chothia numbering system is similar to the Kabat numbering system, but the Chothia numbering system takes into account the location of certain structural loop regions. (See, e.g., Chothia et al., 1986, J. Mol. Biol., 196:901-17; Chothia et al., 1989, Nature, 342:877-83). The AbM numbering system uses a suite of computer programs produced by Oxford Molecular Group that model antibody structures (see, e.g., Martin et al., 1989, Proc Natl Acad Sci (USA), 86:9268-9272; "AbM™, A Computer Program for Modeling Variable Regions of Antibodies", Oxford, UK; Oxford Molecular, Ltd). The AbM numbering system uses a combination of knowledge databases and ab initio methods to model the tertiary structure of antibodies from the primary sequence (see Samudrala et al., 1999, "Ab Initio Protein Structure Prediction Using a Combined Hierarchical Approach" in PROTEINS, Structure, Function and Genetics Suppl., 3:194-198). Contact definitions are based on analysis of complex crystal structures available (see, e.g., MacCallum et al., 1996, J. Mol. Biol., 5:732-45). In conformational definitions, the location of CDRs can be identified as residues that make enthalpic contributions to antigen binding (see, e.g., Makabe et al., 2008, Journal of Biological Chemistry, 283:1156-1166). Still other CDR boundary definitions can not strictly follow one of the above methods, but still overlap at least a portion of the Kabat CDRs. The boundaries of the CDRs can be shortened or lengthened in light of

[0415] Typically, "specific binding" refers to the binding of a protein to an epitope on an antigen. The B7-H3 binding molecule, EGFR binding molecule, and B7-H3 / EGFR binding molecule disclosed herein were measured to be 10 in Biacore, KinExA, or Fortibio assays. -7 Up to 10 -10 moles per liter (M), or 10 -8 Up to 10 -10 M, or 10 -9 Up to 10 -10 M, or a lower dissociation constant (K) D It binds to the antigen to be bound (i.e., B7-H3 or EGFR) or its epitopes. Any antigen greater than 10... -4 M of K D Values ​​are generally considered to indicate nonspecific binding. Specific binding of a binding protein to an antigen or epitope can be determined in any suitable manner known, including, for example, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays as described in this disclosure.

[0416] "Conservative substitution" refers to the substitution with another amino acid residue that has properties similar to the original amino acid residue. For example, lysine, arginine, and histidine have similar properties in that they have basic side chains, and aspartic acid and glutamic acid have similar properties in that they have acidic side chains. Furthermore, glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, and tryptophan have similar properties in that they have uncharged polar side chains, and alanine, valine, leucine, threonine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, and methionine have similar properties in that they have nonpolar side chains. Additionally, tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and histidine have similar properties in that they have aromatic side chains. Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that even when amino acid residues in the group exhibiting similar properties as described above are substituted, it will not show a specific change in properties.

[0417] "Homology," "identity," or "sequence identity" refers to the sequence similarity between two polynucleotide sequences or two polypeptides. When positions in two compared sequences are occupied by the same nucleotide or amino acid monomer—for example, if every position in two DNA molecules is occupied by the same nucleotide—then the molecules are homologous at that position. The percentage of homology between two sequences is a function of the number of matching or homologous positions shared by the two sequences divided by the number of positions compared multiplied by 100%. For example, at optimal sequence alignment, if six out of ten positions in two sequences match or are homologous, then the two sequences are 60% homologous. Generally, comparisons are made when the highest percentage of homology is obtained by aligning the two sequences.

[0418] "Nucleic acid" or "polynucleotide" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a molecule of DNA or RNA, either single- or double-stranded, and in the case of single-stranded, its complementary sequence, e.g., double-stranded DNA. A nucleic acid is "operably linked" when it is functionally related to another nucleic acid sequence. For example, a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the coding sequence.

[0419] A "host cell" includes an individual cell or cell culture that can be or has been a recipient for polynucleotide insert(s). Host cells include progeny of the original recipient cell, and the progeny can not necessarily be completely identical (in morphology or in genomic DNA complement) to the original parent cell due to natural, accidental, or deliberate mutation. A host cell includes cells transfected and / or transformed in vivo with a polynucleotide of the present disclosure. "Cell," "cell line," and "cell culture" can be used interchangeably and all such designations include descendants of the original cell strain. It is also understood that all descendants can not be identical in DNA content to the original parent cell due to deliberate or inadvertent mutation.

[0420] The term "internalization" refers to the transport of a moiety from the exterior of a cell to the interior. An internalized moiety can be located in an intracellular compartment. An "internalized" or "internalizing" antigen or antibody refers to an antigen or antibody that is capable of being transported from the exterior to the interior of a target cell. It is generally understood by those skilled in the art that the process of internalization by a cell generally refers to the transmembrane movement of a cell surface molecule from the cell surface to the interior of the cell. Following internalization, the endosome can be transported to a lysosome for degradation or recycled to the cell surface. The rate of internalization of a given cell surface molecule provides a measure of the kinetics of movement of that molecule across the plasma membrane from the cell surface to the interior of the cell. The internalization activity or rate of internalization of an antigen and antibody can be monitored and / or measured by a variety of techniques known in the art, including acid dissociation (Li N. et al., Methods Mol. Biol., 457:305-17, 2008) and toxin killing assays (Pahara J. et al. Exp Cell Res., 316:2237-50, 2010; and Mazor et al., J. Immunol. Methods, 321:41-59, 2007). A number of antibody labeling techniques, dyes, and kits for antibody labeling useful for quantifying and monitoring internalization are commercially available (e.g., pHrodo iFL antibody labeling method, reagents, and kits sold by Thermo Fisher Scientific).

[0421] The term "antibody drug conjugate" "antibody drug conjugate" (ADC) refers to a conjugate of an antibody with a drug molecule having a target effector activity. Among them, the antibody can be coupled with the drug directly or through a linking unit.

[0422] The drug molecule is not particularly limited as long as it has a substituent or a partial structure that can be linked to the linker structure. Depending on the conjugated drug, the antibody drug conjugate can be used for various purposes. Examples of such drugs can include substances having anti-tumor activity, substances effective against blood diseases, substances effective against autoimmune diseases, anti-inflammatory substances, antimicrobial substances, antifungal substances, antiparasitic substances, antiviral substances, and antinarcotic substances.

[0423] The term "drug loading" refers to the average number of cytotoxic drugs loaded on each ligand in the ADC, which can also be expressed as the ratio of the amount of drug to the amount of antibody, and the drug loading can range from 1 to 20, preferably 1 to 10, cytotoxic drugs (D) per antibody (Ab). In embodiments of the present disclosure, the drug loading is denoted as n, and exemplary values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or the average value of values between any two values. The number of drug molecules per ADC molecule after the conjugation reaction can be identified by conventional methods such as UV / visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ELISA assay, monoclonal antibody size variant assay (CE-SDS), and HPLC profiling.

[0424] While the drug to antibody ratio has an exact value for a particular conjugate molecule (e.g., n in Formula (I) or (IV)), it will be understood that when used to describe a sample containing many molecules, the value will often be an average due to some degree of heterogeneity typically associated with the conjugation step. The average loading of an immunoconjugate sample is referred to herein as the drug to antibody ratio or “DAR”. In some embodiments, the DAR is between about 1 and about 10, e.g., 1-8, and typically about 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0. Embodiments include immunoconjugates wherein the DAR is about 1.1, about 1.2, about 1.3, about 1.4, about 1.5, about 1.6, about 1.7, about 1.8, about 1.9, about 2.0, about 2.1, about 2.2, about 2.3, about 2.4, about 2.5, about 2.6, about 2.7, about 2.8, about 2.9, about 3.0, about 3.1, about 3.2, about 3.3, about 3.4, about 3.5, about 3.6, about 3.7, about 3.8, about 3.9, about 4.0, about 4.1, about 4.2, about 4.3, about 4.4, about 4.5, about 4.6, about 4.7, about 4.8, about 4.9, about 5.0, about 5.1, about 5.2, about 5.4, about 5.4, about 5.5, about 5.6, about 5.7, about 5.8, about 5.9, about 6.0, about 6.1, about 6.2, about 6.3, about 6.4, about 6.5, about 6.6, about 6.7, about 6.8, about 6.9, about 7.0. In some embodiments, a DAR of ‘about x’ means that the measured value of the DAR is within 20% of x (e.g., within 20%, 15%, 10%, 50% of x).

[0425] Methods for detecting DAR, e.g., extrapolating DAR values from LC-MS data of reduced and deglycosylated samples. LC / MS allows quantification of the average number of payload (drug moiety) molecules attached to the antibody in an ADC. HPLC separates the antibody into light and heavy chains, and also separates the heavy (HC) and light (LC) chains according to the number of linker-payload groups per chain. Mass spectrometry data enables identification of component species in the mixture, e.g., LC, LC+1, LC+2, HC, HC+1, HC+2, etc. From the average loading of the LC and HC chains, the average DAR of the ADC can be calculated. The DAR of a given immunoconjugate sample represents the average number of drug (payload) molecules attached to a tetrameric antibody containing two light chains and two heavy chains. Methods for detecting DAR, e.g., in WO2018142322.

Typically, the therapeutic agent is administered in a treated subject or population in an amount that effectively relieves symptoms of one or more diseases, whether by inducing regression of such symptoms or inhibiting their progression to any clinically measurable degree. The amount of therapeutic agent that effectively relieves symptoms of any specific disease (also referred to as the "therapeuticly effective amount") can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the subject's disease state, age, and weight, and the drug's ability to produce the desired therapeutic effect in the subject. Whether the disease symptoms have been relieved can be evaluated using any clinical test that a physician or other healthcare professional typically uses to assess the severity or progression of the symptoms. Although the embodiments of this disclosure (e.g., treatment methods or products) may be ineffective in alleviating the symptoms of the target disease in a particular subject, they should reduce the symptoms of the target disease in a statistically significant number of subjects, as determined by any statistical test known in the art, such as the Student t-test, chi-square test, U-test according to Mann and Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis test (H-test), Jonckheere-Terpstra test, and Wilcoxon test.

Effective amount may be the maximum dose or administration regimen that avoids significant side effects or toxicity. Subjects in this disclosure may be animal or human subjects.

[0460] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the event or circumstance described below may, but does not necessarily, occur, and the description includes the possibility that the event or circumstance may or may not occur. "And / or" should be interpreted as specifically disclosing that each of the two specified features or components has or does not have the other. Therefore, the term "and / or" as used in phrases such as "A and / or B" in this disclosure includes "A and B," "A or B," "A" (alone), and "B" (alone). Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the words "comprising," "having," "including," etc., should be understood to have an inclusive meaning rather than an exclusive or exhaustive meaning; that is, the meaning of "including but not limited to."

[0461] In this disclosure, "subject" and "patient" refer to mammals, especially primates, and particularly humans.

[0462] The ordinal numbers "first", "second", "third", "1", "2", "3", and the like (such as "first subunit", "Fc2", "third chain", "linker 2") in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different features, elements, components or steps, and are not intended to limit the number, order, level.

[0506] Examples 1-4. Affinity Assay

[0507] The affinity of antibodies to antigen B7-H3 2lg or B7-H3 4lg was determined using the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method. Briefly, using a commercial kit (GE Human Antibody Capture Kit, type 2 (29234600, GE)), a standard amine coupling method was used to covalently attach an anti-human IgG (Fc) polyclonal antibody to a CM5 (GE) chip, which was then used to capture the various purified antibodies to be tested to the stationary phase. Different concentration gradients of B7-H3 2lg or B7-H3 4lg protein diluted in the same buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.005% Tween-20, pH 7.4) were injected before and after each cycle, and after injection, the regeneration reagent (3 M MgCl2) provided in the kit was used for regeneration. The antigen-antibody binding kinetics were tracked for 2 minutes and the dissociation kinetics were tracked for 4-5 minutes. The resulting data were analyzed using the BIAevaluation software from GE using a 1:1 (Langmuir) binding model. The binding rate ka, dissociation rate kd, and affinity KD values determined in this way.

[0508] The results are shown in Table 2-1. The affinity of the obtained anti-B7-H3 antibodies to the antigen is better than that of huA3. Through sequence alignment analysis, the mutation of amino acid site 92 and / or 93 (numbered based on Kabat rules) of the light chain variable region CDR3 to Ala and Arg, respectively, is crucial for the enhancement of affinity. The affinities of F2-F6 (S92A mutation), F5-B9 (S92G, S93R mutation), and F2-A4 (S92A, S93R mutation) are about 10 times, about 15 times, and about 27 times, respectively, higher than that of the parent huA3. The high-affinity enriched sequences screened from the combinatorial library all contain S92A, S93R mutations (for example: 15-C8, 16-B4, 17-D2, 18-A10, and 18-E4)

[0538] Example 2-3. Affinity determination

[0539] Antibody antigen affinity was determined using a bio-layer interferometry (BLI) method using cell culture supernatant expressing mutant antibodies. First, the AHC biosensor was immersed in buffer (0.02% PBST) for 10 minutes for equilibration, then immersed in a solidified solution containing a known concentration of EGFR antigen (ACRO Biosystems, EGR-H5222) to a signal value of 1 nm, then the antigen-solidified sensor was immersed in buffer for baseline equilibration for 2 minutes, then the biosensor with solidified antigen of known concentration was immersed in a sample solution containing the antibody to be tested for 2 minutes, and finally the sensor combined with the antibody to be tested was immersed in buffer for dissociation for 10 minutes. By real-time monitoring of the thickness of the biological membrane layer of the biosensor during the experiment, the kinetic constant of the sample to be tested can be obtained.

[0540] As shown in Table 3, the point mutation anti-EGFR antibody affinity, Zmab.v1, Zmab.v6 and Zmab.v27 are weaker than Zalutumumab, while Zmab.v18, Zmab.v19 affinity is comparable to Zalutumumab. Among them, Zmab.v6 and Zmab.v27 are mutated at the same position of HCDR3, but the affinity is quite different.

[0593] Example 6. Selective binding of bispecific antibodies against B7-H3 / EGFR to double positive cells

[0594] SK-MES-1.wt cells were collected and labeled with CellTrace TM Far Red Cell Proliferation Kit (Invitrogen, C34564). 1 x 10 5 SK-MES-1.bko and labeled SK-MES-1.wt were seeded into 96-well plates at the same number, centrifuged at 600g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was removed. 100 μL of the test bispecific antibody or control drug Cetuximab or IgG1 isotype control was added, and incubated at 4°C for 0.5 hours. After centrifugation to remove the supernatant, the cells were washed twice with 200 μL of washing solution (PBS + 2% FBS), and 100 μL of 1:500 diluted anti-human IgG secondary antibody labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 (Jackson Immuno Research, 209-545-098) was added, and incubated at 4°C for 0.5 hours.

[0595] In the case of the same number of cells, the theoretical proportion of the two cells in the non-selective antibody positive population was 50% each. The results in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2E and Table 7 show that the bispecific antibody selectively binds to double positive cells, and the selectivity is B01 < B02 < B03, while Cetuximab does not have selectivity.

[0597] Example 7. Anti-B7-H3 / EGFR bispecific antibodies selectively block EGF binding to double positive cells

[0598] Both EGF and bispecific antibodies can bind to EGFR antigen expressed on human tumor cells. After co-incubation, the ability of bispecific antibodies to competitively block EGF binding to EGFR can be indirectly reflected by detecting the amount of EGF. The selectivity of bispecific antibodies can be reflected in the same cell lines with and without knock-out of B7-H3.

[0599] First, the control anti-EGFR mAb Cetuximab was tested for blocking difference in the same cell lines with and without knock-out of B7-H3. 2x10 5 H1975.wt or H1975.bko or Fadu.wt or Fadu.bko cells were plated in 96-well plates per well. After 5 min centrifugation at 600g, the supernatant was removed and 50 μΐ of Cetuximab was added, followed by 50 μΐ of EGF-his (ACRO, EGF-H52H3) labeled with EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin kit (Thermo Scientific, A39257). The cells were incubated at 4°C for 0.5 h. After centrifugation to remove the supernatant, the cells were washed twice with 200 μΐ of wash buffer (PBS + 2% FBS) and 100 μΐ of 1:1000 diluted Alexa Fluor 633 Streptavidin conjugate (Invitrogen, S21375) was added. The cells were incubated at 4°C for 0.5 h. After centrifugation to remove the supernatant, the cells were washed twice with 200 μΐ of wash buffer (PBS + 2% FBS). The cells were resuspended with 100 μΐ of wash buffer (PBS + 2% FBS) and analyzed by flow cytometry (BD FACSLyric). The data were normalized and fitted with a four-parameter nonlinear logistic regression curve in Graphpad Prism. The results are shown in Figure 3 and Table 8.

[0600] Table 8. Anti-EGFR antibody blocking of EGF binding on NCI-H1975 and FaDu cells

[0601] (NA represents no IC 50 )

[0602] The same method was used to test bispecific antibodies B01, B02, B03, B04, B05, B06 for blocking difference in the same cell lines with and without knock-out of B7-H3. H1975.wt or H1975.bko or Fadu.wt or Fadu.bko cells were used. The results are shown in Figure 4 and Table 9.

[0603] As can be seen from Figure 4A to Figure 4L, in two human tumor cell lines, the bispecific antibodies B01, B02, B03, B04, B05, B06 all blocked EGF binding to both positive and EGFR single positive cells; the ability of the bispecific antibodies to block EGF binding to double positive cells (IC 50 ) was superior to the ability to block single positive cells, and the difference was large.

[0604] The results of Table 8 and Table 9 show that the bispecific antibodies B01, B02, B04, B05, B06 selectively blocked EGF binding to double positive cells, with a clear selectivity window (> 3-fold); the control anti-EGFR antibody Cetuximab blocked EGF binding to double positive cells or to single positive cells with no significant difference (0.5-2-fold).

[0608] In a 12-well plate, 2x10 5SK-MES-1.wt or SK-MES-1.bko cells, the next day, serum-free culture was performed overnight, on the third day, 2 nM and 20 nM bi-specific or control drug Cetuximab was added, incubated for 1 h in 37 °C incubator, then 50 ng / ml of EGF-his (ACRO, EGF-H52H3) was added per well, incubated for 15 min in 37 °C incubator, then collected for sample preparation with RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Scientific, 89900), without adding antibody, EGF was added as a positive control, without adding antibody and without adding EGF as a negative control (NC). 12-well precast gel (Invitrogen, NP0322BOX) was used, 16 μl was loaded per sample, 150 V gel running for 45 min, then transferred to membrane using a transfer kit (BIO-RAD, 1704156) at 25 V, 25 mA for 10 min. Blocking was performed using 5% BSA (PBS + 0.05% Tween 20), incubated for 1 h at room temperature with shaking. Antibodies were diluted with 1% BSA, p-EGFR Tyr1068 (Cell Signaling Technology, 2234) was diluted at 1:200, EGFR (Cell Signaling Technology, 4267S) was diluted at 1:200, beta-Actin (Cell Signaling Technology, 4970) was diluted at 1:500, and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Washing was performed 3 times with PBST, each time for 10 min with shaking. HRP-labeled anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (Jackson immuno, 111-035-144) was diluted at 1:5000 with 1% BSA, incubated for 1 h at room temperature with shaking, then washed 3 times with PBST, each time for 10 min with shaking. After adding developing solution (Millipore, WBKLS0500), exposure was performed using a gel imager (Bio-rad ChemiDoc MP) and the image was captured.

[0609] The results are shown in Figures 5A-5B, Cetuximab inhibited EGFR phosphorylation in both double-positive and EGFR single-positive cells without distinction, while B01, B02, B04, B05, and B06 selectively inhibited double-positive cells, and B03 had weaker inhibitory ability.

Briefly, the target cells were washed once with culture medium, and the target cells were adjusted to about 1x10 6 / mL. Add BATDA (Perkin Elmer, cat.no.C136-100) 4 μL in the culture medium, incubate at 37°C for 10 minutes. Wash the cells 3-5 times. Resuspend the cells carefully, and adjust the concentration to about 20x10 4 / mL. Add 50 μL (total 1x10 4 NCI-H1975 cells per well in a 96-well plate. Add 100 μL (total 2.5x10 5Incubate at 37°C for 3 hours. Set up the maximum killing activity well, add 10 μΐ of lysis solution to each well, and set up the spontaneous release well. Use DELFIA EuTDA Cytotoxicity Reagents (PerkinElmer, #AD0116) to measure the killing activity. First, centrifuge at 500g for 5 minutes, and transfer 20 μΐ of supernatant to a flat-bottom plate. Add 200 μΐ of Eu-solution reaction substrate, shake at 250 rpm per minute for 15 minutes, and measure the fluorescence value using time-resolved fluorescence (TRF).

[0619] Calculate the killing activity according to the following formula: Killing activity (%) = [(ER-SR) / (MR-SR)]x100;

[0620] wherein ER is the fluorescence value of the experimental group after adding Eu-solution, SR is the fluorescence value of the spontaneous release control group after adding Eu-solution, and MR is the fluorescence value of the maximum killing activity well after adding Eu-solution.

[0621] The experimental results, as shown in Table 10A and Figure 6, show that all the tested anti-EGFR antibodies can significantly activate NK cells to kill H1975 cells, and the introduction of DE mutations in the Fc domain has stronger killing function, and the scFv mode of antibody further enhances the ADCC effect.

Add 50 μΐ (total 1x10 4PBMC (Shanghai Aobio Biotech Co., Ltd., T0071) was centrifuged at 400g for 10 min, and the cells were resuspended with medium. PBMC was added, and 30 nM gradient dilution of the test bispecific antibody or control Cetuximab or IgG1 isotype control was added, and incubated at 37°C for 3 hours. The maximum killing activity well was set, 10 μL of lysis solution was added to each well, and the spontaneous release well was set. DELFIA EuTDA Cytotoxicity Reagents (PerkinElmer, #AD0116) was used to measure the killing activity. The fluorescence value was measured using time-resolved fluorescence (TRF).

[0627] The killing activity was calculated according to the following formula: Killing activity (%) = [(ER-SR) / (MR-SR)]x100;

[0628] wherein ER is the fluorescence value of the experimental group after adding Eu-solution, SR is the fluorescence value of the spontaneous release control group after adding Eu-solution, and MR is the fluorescence value of the maximum killing activity well after adding Eu-solution.

[0629] The experimental results, as shown in Table 10B and FIG. 7, show that all the detected bispecific antibodies can significantly activate NK cells to kill H1975 cells; compared with EGFR single-positive H1975.bko cells, bispecific antibodies B01, B02, B03, B04, B05 and B06 have a significant selective induction of killing effect on double-positive H1975.wt cells.

[0631] 2. The target cells were washed once with culture medium, and the target cells were adjusted to about 2x10 5 / mL. 50 μL (total 1x10 4 cells were added to each well of different 96-well plates. Healthy human PBMC (Shanghai Aobio Biotech Co., Ltd., T0071) was centrifuged at 400g for 10 min, and the cells were resuspended with medium. PBMC was added, and 30 nM gradient dilution of the test bispecific antibody or control Cetuximab or IgG1 isotype control was added, and incubated at 37°C for 3 hours. The maximum killing activity well was set, 10 μL of lysis solution was added to each well, and the spontaneous release well was set. Cytotoxicity Assay Kit PLUS (LDH) (Sigma, 4744934001) was used to measure the killing activity, and the absorbance at 490 nm wavelength was measured.

[0632] The killing activity was calculated according to the following formula: Killing activity (%) = [(ER-NR) / (MR-SR)]x100;

[0633] Wherein, ER is the absorbance of the experimental group after the reaction is terminated, NR is the absorbance of the non-drug treatment group, MR is the fluorescence value of the maximum killing activity hole after the reaction is terminated, and SR is the absorbance of the spontaneous release control group.

[0634] The experimental results, as shown in Table 11 and FIG. 8, show that all the detected bispecific antibodies can significantly activate NK cells and kill FaDu cells; compared with EGFR single-positive FaDu.bko cells, bispecific antibodies B02, B03, B04, B05 and B06 have a significant selective induction of killing effect in double-positive FaDu.wt cells.

[0635] Table 11. ADCC killing of FaDu cells induced by antibodies

[0636] Example 11. Pharmacodynamic experiment of anti-B7-H3 / EGFR bispecific antibody in a tumor-bearing mouse model in vivo

[0637] In this experiment, the parental cell FaDu.wt (EGFR and B7-H3 double-positive cell) and the B7-H3 knockout derivative cell FaDu.bko (EGFR single-positive cell) were inoculated into BALB / c nude mice (Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) to determine the selective killing effect of anti-EGFR / B7-H3 bispecific antibodies.

[0638] FaDu.wt cells and FaDu.bko cells were routinely subcultured using MEM medium (10% FBS). When the predicted number of cells reached the required amount, the cells were trypsinized and centrifuged to collect the cells, which were dispersed in PBS to a concentration of 5x10 7 / mouse) was inoculated into the left lower limb subcutaneous area of each BALB / c nude mouse, and the next day, 0.1 ml of FaDu.wt cell suspension (i.e., 5x10 6 / mouse) was inoculated into the right lower limb subcutaneous area of the same mouse. When the average tumor volume of FaDu.bko and FaDu.wt reached 116 mm 6 / mouse) was inoculated into the right lower limb subcutaneous area of the same mouse. When the average tumor volume of FaDu.bko and FaDu.wt reached 116 mm 3The mice were randomly divided into groups (8 mice per group) and the first day of grouping was the day of grouping. The mice were administered the antibodies, positive control antibodies, and negative control antibodies (see Table 12 for the administered antibodies and concentrations) on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 after grouping, and the tumor volume and body weight of the mice were measured twice per week. The monitoring was performed until the end of day 22 after grouping. The tumor inhibition rate (TGI) on day 22 after grouping was calculated according to the following formula: TGI = (1 - (tumor volume of the treatment group - initial tumor volume of the treatment group) / (tumor volume of the PBS control group - initial tumor volume of the PBS control group)) x 100%.

[0639] The maximum length (L) and maximum width (W) of the tumor were measured using a vernier caliper, and the tumor volume was calculated according to the following formula: V = L x W 2 / 2. The body weight was measured using an electronic balance. During the entire study, the mice were euthanized when the tumor volume of the mice was > 2000 mm 3 or the body weight of the mice decreased by > 20%.

[0640] The tumor inhibition rate results are shown in FIG. 9A and Table 13: the tumor size was measured on day 22 after grouping, and the inhibition rate was calculated. In the FaDu.wt model, the tumor inhibition rates of B02, B04, B05, and B06 were 92%, 105%, 105%, and 104%, respectively, compared with the PBS control group. In the FaDu.bko model, the tumor inhibition rates of antibodies B02, B04, B05, and B06 were 72%, 98%, 68%, and 94%, respectively, compared with the PBS control group. This indicates that the bispecific antibodies B02 and B05 with strong B7-H3 ends and weak EGFR ends have a better selective window. The body weight of the mice was also monitored, and the results are shown in FIG. 9B: in the administered mouse groups, no significant weight loss was observed.

[0707] The affinity of bispecific antibody drug conjugate ADC-7 to B7-H3 and EGFR antigen proteins was detected by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method.

[0708] The bispecific antibody drug conjugate to be tested was used as ligand, and the antigen protein was used as analyte. Briefly, using the commercial kit GE Human Antibody Capture Kit, type 2 (manufacturer GE, item number 29234600), the anti-human IgG (Fc) polyclonal antibody was covalently linked to the CM5 (GE) chip using the standard amino coupling method, and then this antibody was used to capture the antibody drug conjugate ADC-7 to be tested to the stationary phase.

The bioluminescence values at each concentration were plotted and fitted to calculate IC 50 . The results are shown in Figures 10A-10E and Table 18.

[0715] The results showed that ADC-1 and ADC-5 had the strongest in vitro killing activity, and ADC-1 had a greater selectivity window for killing double positive cells.

[0720] Example 14. Anti-B7-H3 / EGFR ADCs’ killing activity 2000 NCI-H1568 cells, or 2000 FaDu cells, or 5000 NCI-H69 cells were seeded in 96-well plates, respectively, with culture medium and the test sample diluted in gradient. The cells were incubated in a 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator for 5-6 days. The number of viable cells was detected using Cell Viability Detection Kit (Suzhou Yingze Biological, Catalog No. EZB-CV1) and Multifunctional Enzyme Labeling Instrument SpectraMax Pro. The bioluminescence values at each concentration were plotted and fitted with IC50 using a four-parameter nonlinear logistic regression function model (GraphPad Prism). 50 .

[0721] As shown in FIGs. 11A-11B and Table 19, the results showed that ADC-7 had better dual-positive cell selectivity than ADC-8-1 in the example models where B7-H3 was expressed at a similar ratio to EGFR or B7-H3 was expressed lower than EGFR.

[0722] As shown in FIG. 12 and Table 20, ADC-7 did not produce cytotoxicity to cells negative for target antigen, which was superior to the maximum killing of the isotype control ADC IgG1-9 (loaded with toxin Compound 9-A).

[0726] The binding and endocytosis ability of anti-B7-H3 / EGFR bispecific antibody B22 to FaDu cells was evaluated. B22, Ifinatamab and Cetuximab solutions were configured with pre-cooled complete culture medium and added to FaDu cells, respectively, at 10 6Cells 100 μΐ, final antibody concentration 50 nM, incubate on ice for 1 hour. After incubation, cells were washed twice with pre-cooled complete medium, centrifuge at 300 x g for 3 min, discard supernatant. Each sample was resuspended with 100 μΐ of medium and immediately aliquoted into two 1.5 mL EP tubes. One of them was centrifuged at 300 x g for 3 min at 4°C, then 250 μΐ of 4% PFA was added to fix at room temperature for 15 min. After centrifugation and washing to 50 μΐ of FACS buffer (PBS, 2% FBS), it was kept on ice, which was the T0 sample. The other was incubated in a 37°C incubator for 3 hours, then centrifuged at 300 x g for 3 min, 250 μΐ of 4% PFA was added to fix at room temperature for 15 min. After centrifugation and washing to 50 μΐ of FACS buffer, it was the T3 sample. 50 μΐ of Alexa Fluor 488 labeled anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson Immuno Research, 209-545-098) diluted 250 times with FACS buffer was added to both T0 and T3 samples. After incubation on ice for 30 min, they were washed twice with 1 ml of FACS buffer, the supernatant was discarded, 100 μΐ of FACS buffer was added, and the fluorescence was detected by flow cytometry (BD FACSLyric) and the median value of fluorescence intensity (MFI) was calculated. The MFI of the T0 sample represents the amount of antibody binding to the cells, and the difference between the MFI of T0 and T3 relative to the MFI of T0 is the antibody endocytosis rate.

[0727] The results are shown in Table 21. The cell binding amount and antibody endocytosis rate of anti-B7-H3 / EGFR bispecific antibody B22 on double-positive cells are better than those of anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody Ifinatamab and anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody Cetuximab.

[0730] This experiment compares the freeze-thaw stability of two bispecific antibody drug conjugates ADC-6 and ADC-7 with different toxin-antibody conjugation ratios (DAR).

[0731] The bispecific antibody conjugate molecules were tested for freeze-thaw stability by repeated freeze-thawing at -80°C for 3 times. The samples before and after freeze-thawing were tested for changes in the degree of molecular aggregation by SEC-HPLC using an Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC system and a chromatographic column SRT-C SEC-300 (Sedex, 235300-7830) with a buffer of 1X PBS (pH 7.4) at a flow rate of 1 mL / min. The percentage of monomeric molecules in the main peak before and after freeze-thawing was calculated by UV signal. The results showed that both ADC-6 and ADC-7 had excellent stability, with the main peak percentage being 100% before and after freeze-thawing, and there was no significant difference in the stability of the two ADCs.

[0738] 1. Pharmacodynamic comparison of anti-B7-H3 / EGFR ADC on NCI-H1568 non-small cell lung cancer tumor cell-bearing mouse model in vivo

[0739] In this experiment, NCI-H1568 cells (Chinese Academy of Sciences Cell Bank, Cat No. SCSP-5072) were inoculated into BALB / c nude mice (Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) to determine the anti-tumor effect of anti-B7-H3 / EGFR ADC.

[0740] NCI-H1568 cells were routinely subcultured using RPMI1640 medium (10% FBS). When the predicted cell number reached the required amount, the cells were trypsinized and centrifuged to collect the cells, which were dispersed in PBS to a concentration of 5×10 7 Each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 0.1 ml of NCI-H1568 cell suspension (i.e. 5×106 BALB / c nude mice were randomly divided into groups (7 mice per group) when the average tumor volume reached about 200 mm 3 The first day was recorded on the day of grouping. The drugs were administered by IV tail vein on days 1, 8, and 15, with a dose of 6 mg / kg each. The tumor volume and body weight of the mice were measured twice a week. The maximum long axis (L) and maximum wide axis (W) of the tumor were measured using a vernier caliper, and the tumor volume was calculated according to the following formula: V = L x W 2 The body weight was measured using an electronic balance. During the entire study, when the tumor volume of the mice was >2000 mm 3 or the body weight of the mice decreased by >20%, the mice were euthanized. The tumor inhibition rate (TGI) was calculated according to the following formula: TGI = (1 - (tumor volume of the treatment group - initial tumor volume of the treatment group) / (tumor volume of the PBS control group - initial tumor volume of the PBS control group)) x 100%.

[0741] The results of the tumor inhibition rate showed that the anti-B7-H3 / EGFR ADC had a significant inhibitory effect on the mouse tumor cell model of NCI-H1568.

[0742] 2. Pharmacodynamic experiment of anti-B7-H3 / EGFR ADC on FaDu head and neck cancer tumor cell tumor-bearing mouse model

[0743] In this experiment, FaDu cells (Chinese Academy of Sciences Cell Bank, TCHu132) were used to inoculate BALB / c nude mice (Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) to determine the anti-tumor effect of anti-B7-H3 / EGFR ADC in a head and neck cancer model.

[0744] FaDu cells were routinely subcultured using MEM medium (10% FBS). When the predicted cell number reached the required amount, the cells were trypsinized and collected by centrifugation, and the cells were dispersed in PBS to a concentration of 4.5 x 107 / ml. Each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with 0.1 ml of the FaDu cell suspension (i.e. 4.5 x 106 / mouse) into the right front limb dorsal lower region of a BALB / c nude mouse. When the average tumor volume of the mice reached about 200 mm3, the mice were randomly divided into groups (6 mice per group), and the day of grouping was recorded as day 1. The mice were administered by IV tail vein on days 1 and 15, and the tumor volume and body weight of the mice were measured twice a week. The maximum long axis (L) and maximum wide axis (W) of the tumor were measured using a vernier caliper, and the tumor volume was calculated according to the following formula: V = L x W2 / 2. The body weight was measured using an electronic balance. During the entire study, when the tumor volume of a mouse was >2000 mm3or the body weight of a mouse decreased by >20%, the mouse was euthanized. The tumor inhibition rate (TGI) was calculated according to the following formula: TGI = (1- (tumor volume of treatment group - initial tumor volume of treatment group) / (tumor volume of PBS control group - initial tumor volume of PBS control group)) x 100%.

[0745] The tumor inhibition rate results showed that the anti-B7-H3 / EGFR ADC had a significant inhibitory effect on the mouse tumor model of head and neck cancer cells FaDu, and in the administered mouse group, no significant weight loss was found.
