Description
Antibody drug conjugates against ceacam5 and uses thereof
[0001] This international patent application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202410636784.0, filed May 21, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates to antibody drug conjugates against CEACAM5 and uses thereof, in particular in the treatment of cancer. BACKGROUND
[0003] 1. INTRODUCTION
[0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a class of highly targeted anticancer therapeutics that combine the high specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potent cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs. ADC drugs can deliver chemotherapeutic drugs directly to cancer cells by targeting tumor markers, thereby maximizing the killing effect of drugs on tumor cells while reducing damage to normal cells. ADC drugs specifically bind to antigens through monoclonal antibodies, accurately positioning toxin molecules to tumor cells. ADCs then enter tumor cells through endocytosis, transported to lysosomes by endosomes in tumor cells. Under the action of low pH and hydrolytic enzymes inside the lysosome, ADC releases toxin molecules into tumor cells, thereby achieving precise killing of tumor cells.
[0005] 2. Structure and function of CEACAM5 protein
[0006] CEACAM5 (Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5), also known as Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), is a membrane protein widely used for tumor marker monitoring. CEACAM5 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, mainly expressed on gastrointestinal cells and on cancer cells of various cancers, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer, etc. Structurally, CEACAM5 is composed of a large N-terminal ectoplasmic region, one or more immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane region and a short intracellular region. The extracellular region is composed of multiple repeated immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) domains, with abundant glycosylation sites. According to structural similarity, the extracellular immunoglobulin-like domain can be divided into N, A, B domains, and CEACAM5 has seven domains, N, A1-A3, B1-B3. This unique structure enables CEACAM5 to participate in intercellular adhesion processes and regulate various biological functions such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Researchers David M. Goldenberg et al. used antibodies (MN-3 / MN-14 / MN-15) against different CEACAM5 domains to evaluate the effects of antibodies on the biological functions of a series of tumor cells, including cell adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM), cell migration, cell invasion ability, etc. It was found that binding to the N and A1B1 domains of CEACAM5 can effectively inhibit tumor cell invasion and metastasis (Rosalyn D et al., Cancer Res (2005) 65(19):8809-8817.). CEACAM5 can also bind to CD8α through the N domain, and glycosylation can affect the strength of binding to CD8α. Through binding to CD8α, CEACAM5 can activate CD8 + T cells and inhibit CD4 + T cell proliferation (G Roda et al. Mucosal Immunology, Volume 7, Issue 3, 2014, Pages 615-624).
[0007] 3. Application of CEACAM5 in tumor treatment
[0008] Due to the high expression of CEACAM5 on most tumor cells and its low expression in normal tissues, it has become a hot candidate for tumor therapy targets. Especially in the treatment of colorectal cancer, ADC drugs targeting CEACAM5 have shown great potential. Several CEACAM5-based ADCs have entered clinical trials, some of which have shown considerable efficacy and manageable safety. Researchers have developed different antibody and drug linking technologies to maximize the efficacy of ADCs. Labetuzumab (also known as hMN-14) developed by Immunomedics has carried out development attempts for colorectal cancer indications by coupling SN-38. However, due to poor efficacy (1.1% PR, 48.8% SD, mPFS 3.6 months, mOS 6.9 months), Immunomedics stopped its development in colorectal cancer indications (Cancer. JCO 35, 3338-3346 (2017).). Nevertheless, the exploration of colorectal cancer indications using the CEACAM5 target continues, and Merck announced an ADC drug (M9140) with exatecan as a toxin payload in July 2022 and carried out phase I clinical development (NCT05464030). In November 2023, Sanofi announced a collaboration with Seagen to develop an ADC drug with a TOP isomerase I inhibitor as a payload for phase I clinical development, with plans to enroll 410 patients (NCT06131840).
[0009] 4. Limitations of the Prior Art
[0010] The main factors affecting the efficacy of ADC drugs are the specific targeting of the monoclonal antibody to the antigen protein and the stable release of the toxin molecule. Although the ADC technology is extremely attractive in theory, it still faces many challenges in practical application. First, the stability of the connection between the antibody and the drug needs to be precisely controlled to ensure that the drug will not be released before reaching the tumor, thereby reducing side effects. Second, it is necessary to ensure that the ADC can effectively penetrate the tumor tissue, reach the tumor cells, and not bind to other normal tissues to avoid toxicity to normal tissues. The immunoglobulin superfamily to which CEACAM5 belongs has multiple homologous membrane proteins, among which CEACAM1 (unipro ID: P13688), CEACAM6 (unipro ID: P40199), CEACAM7 (unipro ID: Q14002) and CEACAM8 (unipro ID: P31997) have high homology with CEACAM5 (unipro ID: P06731), with sequence homology as high as 62%, 79%, 60% and 71%, respectively. Researchers Laura A Strickland et al. found that CEACAM6 is expressed in human neutrophils and granulocyte precursor cells, and ADC targeting CEACAM6 causes dose-dependent neutropenia in non-human primates (Laura A Strickland at al. J Pathol 2009; 218:380-390). Therefore, the ADC antibody targeting CEACAM5 should avoid cross-reaction with CEACAM1 / 6 / 7 / 8 and other homologous proteins to avoid normal tissue toxicity, which undoubtedly poses a challenge to antibody screening. Second, there is no optimal payload selection for existing ADC drugs. The ADC drug SAR-408701 developed by Sanofi Company with maytansinoid DM4 as payload failed to achieve the primary endpoint of PFS in the phase III clinical trial for NSQ NSCLC patients (NCT04154956). The ADC drug IMMU130 developed by Immunomedics Company with SN-38 as payload also failed to show sufficient efficacy in the phase I / II clinical trial for colorectal cancer patients. At present, although there are several ADC drugs with TOP isomerase inhibitors as payload in the development stage, they have not shown clear clinical efficacy.

[0076] Other Definitions
[0077] In the present application, the scientific and technical terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, unless otherwise indicated. Also, the terms and techniques employed herein are those that are within the purview of the relevant art and are consistent with the practices of the relevant art. Also, to better understand the present application, the following definitions and explanations of the relevant terms are provided.
[0078] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "an antibody" includes a plurality of antibodies, and so forth.
[0079] The terms "comprising", "comprise" and "comprised of", as well as "including", "include" and "included of", "having", "has", "have" or variants thereof, are not
[0080] As used herein, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin molecule having the ability to specifically bind to a particular antigen. Such molecules typically comprise two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (or domain) (abbreviated herein as VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain constant region is comprised of three domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (or domain) (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The light chain constant region is comprised of one domain, CL. The variable regions of the antibody heavy and light chains contain the binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The constant regions of the antibodies can mediate the binding of the immunoglobulin to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (such as effector cells) and components of the complement system such as Clq (the first component in the classical pathway of complement activation).
[0081] The heavy chain of an immunoglobulin can be divided into three functional regions: an Fd region, a hinge region, and an Fc region (fragment crystallizable). The Fd region comprises the VH and CH1 domains and, together with the light chain, forms the Fab (antigen binding fragment). The Fc fragment is responsible for the effector functions of the immunoglobulin, including, for example, complement binding and binding to the cognate Fc receptors of effector cells. The hinge region, found in the IgG, IgA, and IgD immunoglobulin classes, acts as a flexible spacer, allowing the Fab portions to move freely in space relative to the Fc region. The hinge domain is structurally diverse, differing in sequence and length between immunoglobulin classes and subclasses.
[0082] According to crystallographic studies, the immunoglobulin hinge region can be further subdivided into three regions based on structure and function: the upper hinge, the core hinge, and the lower hinge. The upper hinge includes the amino acids from the carboxy-terminal end of CH1 to the first residue in the hinge that restricts movement, usually the first cysteine residue that forms an interchain disulfide bond between the two heavy chains. The length of the upper hinge region correlates with the fragment flexibility of the antibody. The core hinge region contains the inter-heavy chain disulfide bonds. The lower hinge region connects the amino-terminal end of the CH2 domain and includes residues in the CH2 domain. Structural and flexible allowed conformational changes in the immunoglobulin hinge region polypeptide sequence can influence the effector functions of the Fc portion of the antibody.
[0083] A "light chain variable region" (VL) or "heavy chain variable region" (VH) is comprised of "framework" regions separated by three "complementarity determining regions" or "CDRs." The framework regions serve to align the CDRs that are primarily responsible for specific antigenic epitope binding. The CDRs include the amino acid residues in the antibody that are primarily responsible for antigen binding. The VL domain and the VH domain each comprise, from amino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus, the following framework regions (FRs) and CDRs: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of a VL domain are also referred to herein as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, respectively; the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of a VH domain are also referred to herein as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, respectively.
[0084] The amino acid arrangement of each VL domain and VH domain is consistent with any conventional definition of CDRs. Conventional definitions include the Kabat definition (Kabat, Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1987 and 1991), the Chothia definition (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917, 1987; Chothia et al., Nature 342:878-883, 1989); a composite of Chothia and Kabat CDRs, in which CDR-H1 is a composite of Chothia and Kabat CDRs; the AbM definition used by Oxford Molecular's antibody modeling software; and the CONTACT definition of Martin et al. (world wide web bioinfo.org.uk / abs). Kabat provides a widely used numbering convention (the Kabat numbering system), in which corresponding residues between different heavy chains or between different light chains are given the same number. The present disclosure can use CDRs defined according to any of these numbering systems, but preferred embodiments use CDRs defined according to the Kabat definition.
[0085] Based on the amino acid sequences of the constant regions of the heavy chains, immunoglobulin molecules can be assigned to five classes (isotypes): IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, and can be further divided into subclasses, such as IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgAl, IgA2, and the like. Based on the amino acid sequences of the light chains, the light chains of antibodies can be assigned to either lambda (l) chains or kappa (K) chains.
[0086] As used herein, the term "antibody" shall be construed in its broadest sense and includes monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), antibody fragments, and multi-specific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) containing at least two antigen binding regions. Antibodies can contain additional modifications, such as non-naturally occurring amino acids, mutations in the Fc region, and mutations of glycosylation sites. Antibodies also include post-translationally modified antibodies, fusion proteins containing an antigenic determinant of an antibody, and immunoglobulin molecules containing any other modifications to the antigen recognition site, so long as the antibodies exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0087] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies. That is, each antibody in the population is identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that can be present. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigen. The term "monoclonal antibody" herein is not limited to antibodies produced through hybridoma technology, and should not be construed as requiring production by any particular method.
[0088] The term "bispecific antibody" is understood in the context of the present application as an antibody having two different antigen binding regions defined by different antibody sequences. This can be understood as binding to different targets, but also includes binding to different epitopes of one target. The term "bispecific antibody" as used herein is to be construed in its broadest sense, including full-length bispecific antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof. Bispecific antibodies can contain additional modifications, such as non-naturally occurring amino acids, mutations in the Fc region, and mutations of glycosylation sites. Bispecific antibodies also include post-translationally modified antibodies, fusion proteins containing an antigenic determinant of an antibody, and immunoglobulin molecules containing any other modifications to the antigen recognition site, so long as the antibodies exhibit the desired biological activity.
[0089] The term "chimeric antibody" generally refers to an antibody in which the variable region is derived from one species and the constant region is derived from another species. Typically, the variable region is derived from an antibody of an experimental animal such as a rodent ("parental antibody") and the constant region is derived from a human antibody, such that the resulting chimeric antibody has a reduced likelihood of eliciting an adverse immune response in a human individual as compared to the parental (e.g., mouse-derived) antibody.
[0090] The term "humanized antibody" generally refers to an antibody in which portions of the amino acid sequence outside of the CDR regions of a non-human antibody (e.g., murine antibody) are replaced with corresponding amino acids from a human immunoglobulin. In the CDR regions, small additions, deletions, insertions, substitutions or modifications of amino acids can also be allowed, as long as they still retain the ability of the antibody to bind to a particular antigen. A humanized antibody can optionally comprise at least a portion of a human immunoglobulin constant region. A "humanized antibody" retains antigenic specificity similar to that of the original antibody. "Humanized" forms of non-human (e.g., murine) antibodies can minimally contain a chimeric antibody that includes sequences derived from non-human immunoglobulin. In some cases, CDR region residues in a human immunoglobulin (recipient antibody) can be replaced by CDR region residues of a non-human species (donor antibody) such as mouse, rat, rabbit or non-human primate that have the desired properties, affinities and / or capabilities. In some cases, FR region residues of a human immunoglobulin can be replaced by corresponding non-human residues. Furthermore, a humanized antibody can comprise amino acid modifications not found in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. These modifications can be made to further improve antibody performance, such as binding affinity.
[0091] As used herein, the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody refers to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen. It has been shown that the antigen binding function of an antibody can be performed by fragments of a full-length antibody.
[0092] Examples of antigen-binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fab' fragment, which is simply a Fab with part of the hinge region; (iv) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (v) a Fd' fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains and one or more cysteine residues at the C-terminus of the CH1 domain; (vi) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; (vii) a dAb fragment, which consists of a VH domain; (viii) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR); (ix) a Nanobody, a heavy chain variable region containing a single variable domain and two constant domains. Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv)). Such single chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the term "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody. Furthermore, the term also includes "linear antibodies", which comprise a pair of tandem Fd segments (VH-CH1-VH-CH1) with dual variable domain (D3) antibodies, which form a pair of antigen binding regions with a complementary light chain polypeptide, as well as modifications of any of the foregoing structures.
[0093] These antigen-binding fragments can be obtained using conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, and the utility of the fragments screened in the same manner as for whole antibodies.
[0094] As used herein, the term "binds" or "binds specifically to" refers to a nonrandom, binding reaction between two molecules, such as an antibody and its target antigen. The binding specificity of an antibody can be determined based on affinity and / or avidity. Affinity represents the equilibrium constant for dissociation of an antigen from an antibody (KD), a measure of the strength of binding between an antigenic determinant and an antigen binding site of an antibody: the smaller the value of KD, the stronger the binding strength between the antigenic determinant and the antibody. Alternatively, affinity can also be expressed as the affinity constant (KA), which is 1 / KD.
[0095] Avidity is a measure of the strength of binding between an antibody and the relevant antigen. Avidity involves both the affinity between the antigenic determinant and the antigen binding site of an antibody and the number of relevant binding sites present on the antibody. Typically, an antibody will bind an antigen with a dissociation constant (KD) of 10 -5 M to 10 -12 M or less, and preferably 10 -7 M to 10 -12 M or less, and more preferably 10-8 M to 10 -12 M, and / or has a binding affinity of at least 10 7 M -1 , preferably at least 10 8 M -1 , more preferably at least 10 9 M -1 , such as at least 10 12 M -1 . It is generally accepted that any K -4 M value greater than 10 D represents non-specific binding. Specific binding of an antibody to an antigen or antigenic determinant can be determined in any known suitable manner, including, for example, Scatchard analysis and / or competitive binding assays, such as radioimmunoassays (RIA), enzyme immunoassays (EIA) and sandwich competition assays, as well as different variations thereof known in the art.
[0096] The term "epitope" refers to a site on an antigen to which an antibody binds. Epitopes can be formed both from contiguous amino acids or non-contiguous amino acids juxtaposed by tertiary folding of a protein or proteins. Epitopes formed from contiguous amino acids (also known as linear epitopes) are generally retained upon exposure to denaturing solvents, whereas epitopes formed by tertiary folding (also known as conformational epitopes) are generally lost upon treatment with denaturing solvents. Epitopes usually comprise at least 3, more usually at least 5 or 8-10 amino acids in a unique spatial conformation. Epitopes define the minimum binding site of an antibody and are thus the specific targets of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof.
[0097] As used herein, the term "sequence identity" refers to the extent to which two sequences (amino acid) have identical residues in the same positions after alignment. For example, "an amino acid sequence is X% identical to SEQ ID NO: Y" means that the amino acid sequence has X% identity to SEQ ID NO: Y and is set forth as X% of the residues in the amino acid sequence being identical to the residues of the sequence disclosed in SEQ ID NO: Y. Typically, such calculations are performed using a computer program. Exemplary programs for comparing and aligning pairs of sequences include ALIGN, FASTA, gapped BLAST, BLASTP, BLASTN, or GCG.
[0098] Furthermore, in determining the extent of sequence identity between two amino acid sequences, the skilled person can take into account so-called "conservative" amino acid substitutions, which can generally be described as amino acid substitutions of an amino acid residue for another amino acid residue having a similar chemical structure that has little or substantially no effect on the function, activity or other biological properties of the polypeptide. Such conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art.
[0099] Such conservative substitutions are preferably substitutions of one amino acid residue for another in groups (a) to (e) below: (a) small aliphatic, nonpolar or slightly polar residues: Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro, and Gly; (b) polar, negatively charged residues and their (uncharged) amides: Asp, Asn, Glu, and Gin; (c) polar, positively charged residues: His, Arg, and Lys; (d) large aliphatic, nonpolar residues: Met, Leu, He, Val, and Cys; and (e) aromatic residues: Phe, Tyr, and Trp.
[0100] Particularly preferred conservative substitutions are as follows: Ala to Gly or to Ser; Arg to Lys; Asn to Gin or to His; Asp to Glu; Cys to Ser; Gin to Asn; Glu to Asp; Gly to Ala or to Pro; His to Asn or to Gin; He to Leu or to Val; Leu to He or to Val; Lys to Arg, to Gin, or to Glu; Met to Leu, to Tyr, or to He; Phe to Met, to Leu, or to Tyr; Ser to Thr; Thr to Ser; Trp to Tyr; Tyr to Trp; and / or Phe to Val, to He, or to Leu.
[0101] As used herein, unless otherwise noted, a bivalent structure can be attached to the remainder of the compound in either direction, left to right or right to left. In one embodiment, the bivalent structure is preferably attached to the remainder of the compound in the left to right orientation.
[0102] The term "amino acid residue" means to include any natural or synthetic amino acid residue, not limited to the amino acid residues in the group consisting of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids, wherein the residue refers to the moiety remaining after the loss of water from an amino acid linked by a peptide bond. The 20 naturally occurring amino acid residues are selected from the group consisting of alanine (Ala or A), cysteine (Cys or C), aspartic acid (Asp or D), glutamic acid (Glu or E), phenylalanine (Phe or F), glycine (Gly or G), histidine (His or H), isoleucine (He or I), lysine (Lys or K), leucine (Leu or L), methionine (Met or M), asparagine (Asn or N), proline (Pro or P), glutamine (Gin or Q), arginine (Arg or R), serine (Ser or S), threonine (Thr or T), valine (Val or V), tryptophan (Trp or W), and tyrosine (Tyr or Y) residues.
[0103] The term "antibody conjugate" generally refers to an antibody linked to another chemical moiety. The chemical moiety can be a cytotoxic drug, an immunostimulatory molecule, and a detectable label. The drug can be, for example, a microtubulin inhibitor, an antibiotic, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, a topoisomerase inhibitor, an RNA polymerase II inhibitor, and an RNA spliceosome inhibitor. The terms "antibody-drug conjugate," "antibody conjugate," and "ADC" can be used interchangeably.
[0104] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means that which the carrier or excipient is compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof, and / or such carrier or excipient is approved or can be used in a pharmaceutical composition intended for parenteral administration to humans.
[0105] As used herein, the terms "treat," "treatment," "therapy," and the like, refer to the application of a pharmaceutical agent or performance of a procedure for the purpose of effecting an outcome. The outcomes can be prophylactic, in terms of completely or partially preventing a disease or symptoms thereof, and / or therapeutic, in terms of partially or completely curing a disease and / or symptoms of a disease. As used herein, "treatment" can include treatment of a disease or condition (e.g., an inflammatory disease) in a mammal, particularly in a human, and includes: (a) preventing the disease or symptoms of the disease from occurring in an individual which can be predisposed to the disease but has not yet been diagnosed with the disease; (b) inhibiting the disease, i.e., arresting its development; and (c) relieving the disease, i.e., causing regression of the disease. Treatment can refer to any successful indication in the treatment or amelioration or prevention of cancer, including any objective or subjective parameter, such as reduction of symptoms; alleviation of disease symptoms or making the disease condition more tolerable to the patient; slowing in rate of disease progression or degeneration; or improving quality of life. Treatment or amelioration of symptoms is based on one or more objective or subjective parameters; including physician-based measures. Thus, the term "treatment" includes the administration of an antibody or composition or conjugate disclosed herein to prevent or delay, alleviate or ameliorate a symptom or condition associated with a disease (e.g., an inflammatory disease). The term "therapeutic effect" refers to the reduction, elimination or prevention of a disease, a symptom of a disease, or a side effect of a disease in a subject.
[0106] As used herein, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount of a pharmaceutical agent administered to a subject to treat a disease sufficient to effect treatment of the disease.
[0107] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to any mammalian subject in which diagnosis, treatment, or therapy is desired. A "mammal" for treatment purposes refers to any animal classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm animals, and laboratory and sports or pet animals, such as dogs, horses, cats, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, monkeys, and the like.
[0108] "stereoisomers" refer to compounds which have the same chemical constitution, but differ in the arrangement of atoms or groups in space. Stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, conformational isomers (rotamers), geometric isomers (cis / trans), atropisomers, and the like.
[0109] "chiral" is a molecule which does not superimpose on its mirror image; while "achiral" refers to a molecule which is superimposable on its mirror image.
[0110] "enantiomers" refer to two isomers of a compound which are nonsuperimposable mirror images of one another.
[0111] "diastereomers" refer to two or more stereoisomers of a compound which are not mirror images of one another and which have different physical properties. Mixtures of diastereomers can be separated by high resolution analytical techniques such as electrophoresis and chromatography, e.g., HPLC.
[0112] The stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds", John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994.
[0113] Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L or R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and 1 or (+) and (-) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound; (-) or 1 meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. One specific stereoisomer is the enantiomeric form, and mixtures of such isomers are called enantiomeric mixtures. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is called a racemic mixture or racemate, and such a mixture results when the reactions or processes involved in the manufacture of the compound are stereorandom.
[0114] Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon, etc.) of the compounds of the present application can exist in the form of a racemic or enantiomeric enrichment, e.g., (R)-, (S)-, or (R,S)-configurational forms. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least a 50% enantiomeric excess in the (R)- or (S)- configuration, at least a 60% enantiomeric excess, at least a 70% enantiomeric excess, at least an 80% enantiomeric excess, at least a 90% enantiomeric excess, at least a 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least a 99% enantiomeric excess.
[0115] Depending on the choice of starting materials and methods, the compounds of the present application can be present in the form of one or more of possible isomers, such as racemates and mixtures of diastereomers, depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms (see, e.g., WO 91 / 06283). The optically active forms of (R)- or (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compounds contain a double bond, the substituents can be in the E or the Z configuration; if the compounds contain a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the substituents on the cycloalkyl can be in the cis- or trans-configuration.
[0116] Any mixture of stereoisomers can be separated into their individual isomers by conventional techniques, such as HPLC or fractional crystallization, and any enantiomers can be converted into each other following conventional procedures.
[0117] Any resulting end products or intermediates of racemates can be resolved into the optical antipodes by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by separation of the resulting diastereomeric salts thereof. The racemic products can also be separated by chiral chromatography, such as, for example, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral adsorbent. In particular, the enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, for example, see Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2nd Ed. Robert E. Gawley, Jeffrey Aubé, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, S. H. Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972); Chiral Separation Techniques: A Practical Approach (Subramanian, G. Ed., Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany, 2007).
[0118] The present application includes tautomers, which are isomers of functional groups resulting from the movement of a certain atom in a molecule between two positions. Compounds exist in different tautomeric forms, one said compound is not limited to any particular tautomer, but is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms.
[0119] The compounds of the present application can include one or more asymmetric centers and can thus occur as various stereoisomeric forms, such as enantiomeric and / or diastereomeric forms. For example, the compounds of the present application can be individual enantiomers, diastereomers or geometric isomers (such as cis- and trans-isomers), or can be mixtures of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be separated by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or the preferred isomer can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis.
[0120] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that organic compounds can exist in solvated forms, in which the compound is complexed or coordinated with a solvent, usually water, but also including less polar solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, ether, and the like. These solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms. The term'solvate' is used throughout the application to describe a molecular complex of a compound of the application with one or more solvent molecules. Non-limiting examples of solvents that can be used to form solvates include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, ether, and the like. The term 'hydrate' is used when the solvent is water. The compounds of the application can be prepared as solvates and can be isolated as solvates. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In some cases, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, where one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of the solid state of the compound. 'Solvate' includes both solution-phase solvates and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.

'Solvate' includes both solution-phase solvates and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
[0122] The term 'hydrate' is used when the solvent is water. In general, the ratio of water molecules to compound molecules in a hydrate of a compound is determined. Thus, a hydrate of a compound can be represented, for example, by the general formula R x H2O, where R is the compound and x is a number greater than zero. A given compound can form more than one type of hydrate, including, for example, monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than zero and less than 1, for example, a hemihydrate (R 0.5 H2O)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, for example, dihydrates (R 2 H2O) and hexahydrates (R 6 H2O)).
[0123] The compounds of the present application can be in amorphous or crystalline form (polymorphs). Furthermore, the compounds of the present application can exist in one or more crystalline forms. Accordingly, the present application includes within its scope all amorphous or crystalline forms of the compounds of the present application. The term "polymorph" refers to crystalline forms of a compound (or salts, hydrates or solvates thereof) that have the same elemental composition but different crystal packing arrangements. All polymorphs of a compound have the same elemental makeup. Different polymorphs of a compound often have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. The recrystallization solvent, the rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors can cause one crystalline form to dominate over another. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
[0124] The present application also includes isotopically-labelled compounds (isotopic variants) which are identical to those recited in Formula (I) but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be suitably substituted into the compounds of the present application include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulphur, fluorine, and chlorine, for example 2 H, 3 H, 13 C, 11 C, 14 C, 15 N, 18 O, 17 O, 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18 F, and 36 Cl. The present application also embraces compounds of the present application that contain the aforementioned isotopes and / or other isotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the present application. Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of the present application, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3 H and 14 C) are incorporated can be useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated, i.e., 3 H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14 C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2 H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Isotopically labelled compounds of Formula (I) of the present application and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes and / or in the examples and
[0125] As described herein, the compounds of the present application can optionally be substituted with one or more substituents, such as described herein for the compounds of the Formulae above, or as described in particular examples herein, and as described in the classes of compounds encompassed by the present application.

These antigens can be characterized as antigens that are normally silent (i.e., not expressed) in normal cells, antigens that are expressed only at certain stages of differentiation, and antigens that are expressed over time such as embryonic and fetal antigens. Other cancer cell antigens are encoded by mutated cellular genes such as oncogenes (e.g., activated ras oncogenes), suppressor genes (e.g., P53 mutants), and fusion proteins resulting from internal deletions or chromosomal translocations. Other cancer antigens can be encoded by viral genes such as those carried by RNA and DNA tumor viruses. Numerous other tumor-associated antigens and antibodies against them are known and / or commercially available, and can also be prepared by those skilled in the art.
[0164] Examples of tumor-associated antigens include, but are not limited to, 5T4, alphafetoprotein, CA-125, carcinoembryonic antigen, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD23, CD30, CD33, CD40, CD56, CD79, CD78, CD123, CD138, c-Met, CSPG4, IgM, AXL, EGFR, EGFRvIII, epithelial tumor antigen, ERBB2, FLT3, folate binding protein, GD2, GD3, HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp41, HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gpl20, melanoma-associated antigen, MUC-1, mutated p53, mutated ras, ROR1, GPC3, VEGFR2, and combinations thereof.
[0165] In some embodiments, the second antigen is a T cell antigen. In some embodiments, the T cell antigen is selected from the group consisting of T cell receptor (TCR), CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD25, CD28, CD38, CD44, CD62L, CD69, ICOS, 41-BB (CD137), and NKG2D, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the T cell antigen is CD3, and the second antigen binding region binds to any of the gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta, and eta chains of CD3.
[0166] An antibody disclosed herein can comprise an Fc region. The Fc region can be of any isotype, including but not limited to IgGl, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, and can comprise one or more mutations or modifications. In one embodiment, the Fc region is or is derived from an IgGl or IgG4 isotype, optionally with one or more mutations or modifications. In one embodiment, the Fc region is a human IgGl Fc.
[0167] In some embodiments, the Fc region has reduced effector function, e.g., reduced ADCC, ADCP, CDC, and / or Clq, FcyRI, FcyRII, or FcyRIIIA binding. For example, the Fc region can be of the IgGl isotype, or of a non-IgGl type, e.g., IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4, which has been mutated such that the ability to mediate effector function is reduced or even eliminated. Such mutations have been described, e.g., in Dall’Acqua WF et al., J Immunol. 177(2): 1129-1138 (2006) and Hezareh M, J Virol.; 75(24): 12161-12168 (2001). For example, the Fc region can comprise an amino acid sequence having one or more of the following amino acid substitutions compared to the wild-type sequence: E233P, L234A, L234F, L235A, L235E, G237A, N297A, N297D, P331S, and P329G. In a preferred embodiment the Fc region comprises L234A and L235A (LA mutations).
[0168] In one embodiment, the Fc region comprises a mutation that removes the Asn-linked glycosylation receptor site or is otherwise manipulated to alter the glycosylation properties. For example, in an IgGl Fc region, the N297Q mutation can be used to remove the Asn-linked glycosylation site. Thus, in a particular embodiment, the Fc region comprises an IgGl sequence with the N297Q mutation.
[0169] In a further embodiment, the Fc region is glycoengineered to reduce fucose and thus enhance ADCC, e.g., by adding a compound to the culture medium during antibody production, as described in US2009317869 or as described in van Berkel et al. (2010) Biotechnol. Bioeng. 105:350, or by using FUT8 knockout cells, e.g., as described in Yamane-Ohnuki et al. (2004) Biotechnol. Bioeng 87:614. Alternatively, the method described in Shields et al. (1999) Nature Biotech 17:176 can be used to optimize ADCC. In another embodiment, the Fc region is engineered to enhance complement activation, e.g., as described in Natsume et al. (2009) Cancer Sci. 100:2411.
[0170] In other embodiments, the Fc region has an extended serum half-life. For examples of altering (e.g., decreasing or increasing) the in vivo half-life of an antibody, see, e.g., International Publication Nos. WO 02 / 060919, WO 98 / 23289, and WO 97 / 34631; and U.S. Patent Nos. 5,869,046; 6,121,022; 6,277,375; and 6,165,745, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. In some embodiments, one, two, or more amino acid mutations (e.g., substitutions, deletions, or insertions) are introduced into an IgG constant domain or FcRn binding fragment thereof (preferably an Fc or hinge region-Fc domain fragment) to decrease the in vivo half-life of the antibody. In other embodiments, one, two, or more amino acid mutations (e.g., substitutions, deletions, or insertions) are introduced into an IgG constant domain or FcRn binding fragment thereof (preferably an Fc or hinge region-Fc domain fragment) to increase the in vivo half-life of the antibody. In a particular embodiment, the antibody can have one or more amino acid mutations (e.g., substitutions) in the second constant (CH2) domain (residues 231-340 of human IgGl) and / or the third constant (CH3) domain (residues 341-447 of human IgGl) (numbered according to the EU numbering system). In a particular embodiment, the constant region of an antibody IgGl described herein comprises a substitution of methionine (M) to tyrosine (Y) at position 252, a substitution of serine (S) to threonine (T) at position 254; and a substitution of threonine (T) to glutamic acid (E) at position 256 (numbered according to the EU numbering system). See U.S. Patent No. 7,658,921, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Such mutant IgGs, termed “YTE mutants,” have been demonstrated to exhibit a four-fold increase in half-life compared to the wild-type version of the same antibody (see Dall Acqua WF et al. (2006) J Biol Chem 281:23514-24, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises M252Y, S254T, and T256E (YTE mutations).
[0171] Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs)
[0172] In another aspect, the present application provides an antibody drug conjugate comprising an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof disclosed herein and a chemical moiety conjugated to the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof.
[0173] In the context of the present disclosure, an "antibody drug conjugate," "antibody conjugate," or "antibody conjugate" is an antibody or antibody fragment (such as an antigen binding fragment) covalently linked to a chemical moiety. The chemical moiety can be selected from the group consisting of a cytotoxic drug, an immunostimulatory molecule, and a detectable label, e.g., a drug, a toxin, a therapeutic agent, a detectable label, a protein, a nucleic acid, a lipid, a nanoparticle, a carbohydrate, or a recombinant virus. When the antibody conjugate comprises an antibody linked to a drug (e.g., a cytotoxic agent), the conjugate is often referred to as an "antibody drug conjugate" or "ADC."
[0174] The term "conjugate," "conjugated," or "linked" can refer to making two polypeptides into one continuous polypeptide molecule. In one embodiment, an antibody is linked to a chemical moiety. In another embodiment, an antibody linked to a chemical moiety is further linked to a lipid or other molecule to the protein or peptide to increase its half-life in vivo. The linkage can be by chemical or recombinant means. In one embodiment, the linkage is chemical, where a reaction between the antibody moiety and the chemical moiety results in a covalent bond formed between the two molecules to form one molecule. A peptide linker (a short peptide sequence) can optionally be included between the antibody and the chemical moiety.
[0175] Any number of ways known to those skilled in the art can be used to link a chemical moiety to an antibody of the present invention. In this context, the number of chemical moieties linked on a single antibody of the present invention can be represented by "DAR." For example, in some embodiments, "DAR" represents the number of linker-payloads linked on a single antibody of the present invention.
[0176] Covalent and non-covalent modes of attachment can be used. The procedure for attaching a chemical moiety to an antibody varies depending on the chemical structure of the chemical moiety. Polypeptides typically contain a variety of functional groups; such as carboxylic acid (COOH), free amine (-NH2), or thiol (-SH) moieties, which can be used to react with a suitable functional group on the antibody to result in the binding of the chemical moiety. Alternatively, the antibody is derivatized to expose or attach additional reactive functional groups. The derivatization can involve the attachment of any of a number of known linker molecules. A linker can be any molecule used to link an antibody to a chemical moiety. The linker is capable of forming a covalent bond with both the antibody and the chemical moiety. Suitable linkers are well known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, straight chain or branched carbon linkers, heterocyclic carbon linkers, or peptide linkers. In the case where the antibody and the chemical moiety are polypeptides, the linker can be attached to a constituent amino acid through a side group (such as through a disulfide bond to a cysteine) or to the alpha carbon amino and carboxyl groups of terminal amino acids.
[0177] In certain cases, it is desirable to release the chemical moiety from the antibody when the antibody conjugate reaches its target site. Thus, in these cases, the antibody conjugate will comprise a cleavable linkage near the target site.
[0178] The conditions experienced by the enzymatic activity or antibody conjugate within the target cell or near the target site can prompt cleavage of the linker to release the chemical moiety from the antibody.
[0179] In view of the large number of methods reported for attaching various radiodiagnostic compounds, radiotherapeutic compounds, markers (such as enzymes or fluorescent molecules), drugs, toxins, and other agents to antibodies, the skilled artisan will be able to determine a suitable method for attaching a given agent to an antibody or other polypeptide.
[0180] In one embodiment, the present application provides an antibody drug conjugate of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isotopic variant, tautomer, stereoisomer, polymorph, hydrate or solvate thereof, or mixtures thereof: y (I)

[0476] Example 1, Preparation of antigens and stable cell lines
[0477] 1.1 Expression of recombinant CEACAM5 antigen protein and CEACAM family antigen proteins (CEACAM1, 6, 7, 8)
[0478] The nucleic acid sequence encoding the antigen protein with his, Fc tag was integrated into a mammalian cell expression vector, after bacterial infection, lysis, plasmid extraction, and washing, the plasmid expressing the antigen protein was obtained. P11 was subcultured to a suitable number of HEK293F cells in the inner generation, and the complex formed by PEI and plasmid was added dropwise to the HEK293F cells in the inner generation in the clean bench the day before. The cells were cultured for 48-72 hours, and the supernatant was collected and stored at 4°C for use. 6HEK293F cells with a cell density of 1.5x106cells / ml were transfected with the complex by adding the complex to the flask while shaking the flask, or by adding part of the complex to the flask, mixing the cells, and then repeating the addition. The HEK293F cells were cultured in a cell incubator shaker at 37°C, 120 rpm, and 5% CO2, and the day of transfection was designated as day 0. On days 1 and 3 after transfection, 5% OPM-293Profeed (Opmay, P82019) was added to the cells. On day 4 after transfection, the cell viability was measured using a Vi-cell XR cell viability analyzer (Beckman). When the cell viability decreased to about 70%, the fermentation broth was collected and filtered to obtain the antigen protein.
[0479] The amino acid sequences of the related antigen proteins are as follows:

[0487] 1.2 Construction of HEK293 stable cell lines expressing membrane CEACAM5 antigen protein
[0488] The nucleic acid sequence encoding the membrane protein is integrated into a lentivirus expression vector, and after bacterial infection, lysis, plasmid extraction, and washing, a plasmid expressing the antigen protein is obtained. After the HEK293 cells (ATCC, Cat No. CRL-3216) are recovered for 1-2 days, when the confluence reaches 70-80%, the cells are passaged, the complete culture medium, trypsin solution, and PBS are preheated at 37°C, the cells are gently washed with PBS, an appropriate amount of trypsin solution is added (to ensure complete coverage of the cells by gently shaking the culture bottle, about 2-3 mL for a 10 cm culture dish, and about 3-4 mL for a 15 cm culture dish), and incubated at 37°C or room temperature for 2-4 minutes. Under a microscope, the cells become rounded, and the cells are detached from the culture surface by gently tapping the side of the culture dish. The volume of trypsin is 2-3 times that of the complete culture medium, and the cells are resuspended and transferred to a centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 300g for 3-5 minutes, resuspended with complete culture medium, counted, and inoculated into new culture bottles at a 1:3-1:10 passage ratio. The cells are removed, the supernatant is discarded, and 9 mL of Opti-MEM medium (Gibco, Cat No. 31985070) is slowly added, trying not to blow up the cells. The pre-prepared PEI / DNA complex is evenly dropped into the cells, the culture bottle is gently shaken left and right and front and back, and placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for culture. After 16-24 hours of transfection, the supernatant is discarded, 30 mL of complete culture medium is added, and the culture is continued in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. Transfection detection: after 24-72 hours of transfection, the expression of the relevant receptor is detected by flow cytometry. After pressurization, sorting, and retesting, monoclonal HEK293 cells expressing human / monkey CEACAM5 membrane protein (hereinafter referred to as HEK293-hCEACAM5 / HEK293-cyCEACAM5) are obtained.

When DNA is used for immunization, 20 μg of plasmid is mixed with 1 μg of CpG, and then directly injected into the abdomen of the mouse at 40 psi using a gene gun (Biorad). Immunization is performed once a week. Three days before fusion preparation, CEACAM5 antigen protein is used for tail vein injection impact immunization. When protein is used for immunization, 79 μl of antigen protein is mixed with 401 μL of PBS, 480 μL of the prepared antigen mixture is taken up with a 3 mL syringe, and another syringe is used to take up 480 μL of CFA. A T-shaped three-way joint is used for mixing until a white emulsion of water-in-oil type is formed. The prepared antigen is subcutaneously injected at a dose of 50 μg per mouse at the abdomen near the thigh root. Three days before fusion preparation, CEACAM5 antigen protein 10 μg per mouse is injected into the foot pad for immunization.

[0586] After the light chain variable region and the heavy chain variable region are synthesized in full sequence, respectively, they are cloned into eukaryotic expression vectors containing the antibody kappa chain constant region Ckappa or human IgG1 constant region CH1-CH3. After the light chain and heavy chain plasmids are combined and paired, cells are transfected to express the antibody. The affinity between the antibody and the antigen is detected by Gator (BLI, Bio-Layer Interferometry). The commercial Protein A or HFC (anti-hIgG Fc) probe is used to fix the antibody, and then the antigen is combined to record the intermolecular binding and dissociation process in real time, so as to determine the affinity between the antigen and the antibody. One column of Protein A probes is placed on a MAX plate containing 260 μl of buffer, soaked for 10 minutes, and one column of regeneration solution and buffer is added to the MAX plate as a neutralizing liquid. The antibody is diluted with buffer to 5 μg / ml, and 200 μl / well is transferred to the 96-well sample. The antibody solidification height is 1.5 nm. The monovalent antigen is diluted with buffer to a maximum concentration of 10×KD, and is diluted in a 3-fold concentration gradient, a total of 3 concentration gradients and a blank buffer as a negative control. Two columns of buffer are set in the 96-well plate for balancing the probe. The sample plate and the MAX plate are placed in the corresponding positions of the instrument, and the sample plate is set to tilt mode. The program baseline1 is set to 30 seconds, loading is set to 100 seconds, baseline2 is set to 30 seconds, association is set to 150 seconds, dissociation is set to 150 seconds, regeneration / neutralization is set to 5 seconds each and repeated 3 times.
