AI Technical Summary
Current therapies lack effective strategies to selectively target and degrade Bcl-xL, a key regulator of apoptosis that is often overexpressed in cancers and other diseases, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor development.
Development of Bcl-xL degrader antibody conjugates (DACs) comprising a target protein binder and VHL ligand moiety covalently attached to an antibody via an antibody linker, which binds to tumor-associated antigens or cell-surface receptors and targets Bcl-xL for degradation.
The DACs effectively inhibit Bcl-xL activity, providing a therapeutic approach to treat hyperproliferative disorders like cancer by promoting targeted protein degradation and inducing apoptosis.

Description
[0001]15077.006WO2 BCL-XL DEGRADER ANTIBODY CONJUGATES AND USES THEREOF CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 5 This non-provisional application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Applications No.63 / 665,421, filed 28 June 2024, and No.63 / 696,072, filed on 18 September 2024, each of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The disclosure relates generally to antibody conjugate compositions, intermediates for 10 their manufacture, and methods of their use. The compositions are useful for facilitating intracellular degradation of target proteins. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The ubiquitin proteasome system can be manipulated to conduct targeted degradation of specific proteins. Promoting the targeted degradation of pathogenic proteins using small 15 molecule degraders is a new modality in the treatment of diseases, including redirecting the activity of E3 ligases such as cereblon (CRBN) or VHL. Proteolysis targeting chimera compounds called PROTAC (Sakamoto, K. M., et al. (2001) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98:8554–8559; Sun, X. et al. (2019) Signal Transduct. Target. Ther.4:64; Schapira, M., et al (2019) Nat. Rev. Drug Discov.18:949–963) and “molecular glue” compounds (Yang, Z., et al 20 (2021) Cell Research 31:1315–1318; Tan, X. et al. (2007) Nature 446:640–645; Han, T. et al. (2017) Science 356, eaal3755) are two modes of TPD. PROTAC comprise three parts, including a ligand for binding a target protein, another ligand for recruiting an E3 ligase, and a linker to help anchor the target protein to the E3 ubiquitin ligase to promote its ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Similar to PROTAC, molecular glues can also cause 25 ubiquitination and degradation of a target protein. In contrast to PROTAC, molecular glues are small molecular weight compounds that trigger a compact protein–protein interaction between a target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Molecular glues are typically smaller than PROTAC and may have better pharmacological properties, higher membrane permeability, better cellular uptake, and better penetration of the blood-brain barrier. Molecular glues promote the poly- 30 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of various disease-associated protein targets (Chamberlain, P., et al (2019) Drug Disc. Today: Tech.31:29-34; WO 2022 / 152821). The molecular glue molecules bind to both the E3 ligase and the target protein, thereby mediating an alteration of the ligase surface and enabling an interaction with the target protein. Examples 1 15077.006WO2 include the IMiD (immunomodulatory imide drug) class including thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide, each approved for use in treating hematological cancers. More efficient targeting strategies are still required. The Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) protein is among the most widely recruited E3 ligases for 5 protein degradation. Many potent small-molecule VHL binders feature a (R)- hydroxyproline motif (Buckley, D. L.; et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. (2012) 134 (10):4465−4468; Galdeano, C.; et al J. Med. Chem. (2014) 57 (20), 8657−8663; Testa, A.; et al J. Am. Chem. Soc. (2018) 140 (29), 9299−9313; Han, X.; et al J. Med. Chem. (2019) 62 (24), 11218−11231) which forms an interaction with Ser110 in the HIF1α binding site of VHL but limits passive transport 10 across the cell membrane (Klein, V. G.; et al ACS Med. Chem. Lett. (2020) 11 (9), 1732−1738; Han, X.; et al Cell Rep. Phys. Sci. (2022) 3 (10):101062; Shah, R. R.; et al Bioorg. Med. Chem. (2020) 28 (5), 115326; Diehl, C. J. et al Chem. Soc. Rev. (2022) 51 (19):8216). Protein degraders which ligand the E3 ligase in a covalent manner offer potential advantages over their reversible counterparts by transforming the ternary complex into a simple binary interaction 15 between modified E3 and the substrate The Bcl-2 family includes more than 20 members of pro-survival and pro-apoptotic proteins. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, and Bcl-W are pro-survival proteins which promote cell survival by inhibiting their pro-apoptotic counterparts. Members in the pro-survival subgroup have four BH (Bcl-2 Homology) domains (BH1~BH4), except that Mcl-1 only has BH 1, 2, 3 domains 20 (Li M. et al (2020) Pharm. Res.151:104547). Another subgroup of Bcl-2 family is pro-apoptotic proteins and can be further classified as BH domain proteins (Bax, Bak, and Bok) , which contain three BH domains (BH1~BH3) and function as effectors of apoptosis; the other is BH3- only proteins (Bad, Bid, Bim, Noxa, PUMA, Bmf, Hrk, and Bik) which are the initiators of apoptosis. Bcl-2 family members work cooperatively to govern cell fate, as in healthy condition, 25 the pro-survival members bind to Bax and Bak to restrict the oligomerization of Bax / Bak, impairing their ability to induce apoptotic pores formation and permeabilization of the outer mitochondrial membrane. BH3-only proteins, as induced transcriptionally or post- transcriptionally by apoptotic stimuli, promote apoptosis by binding competitively to pro- survival Bcl-2 family members to release Bax / Bak or by directly activating these effector 30 proteins (Hata, Engelman et al.2015) . Dysregulation of apoptosis, usually caused by the imbalance between pro-survival and pro-apoptotic proteins in the Bcl-2 family, leads to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor development. Pro-survival protein Bcl-xL (B-cell lymphoma-extra large), one of the key regulators of the intrinsic pathway, (Boise, Gonzalez-Garcia et al. (1993) Cell 74(4):597-608), shares 44% 35 homology in amino acid sequence with Bcl-2 and has a similar structural domain to Bcl-2. A 2 15077.006WO2 hydrophobic pocket formed by the BH1–BH3 domains of Bcl-xL interacts with the BH3 domain of the pro-apoptotic proteins to form a heterodimer. In addition, the BH4 domain of Bcl-xL is involved in its anti-apoptotic activity (Lewis, Hayashi et al.2014, Lee and Fairlie 2019). Since Bcl-xL is the most common Bcl-2 family member overexpressed in solid tumors, as well as in 5 some subsets of leukemia and lymphoma, it is highly desirable to develop a therapeutic strategy that can retain the benefit of targeting Bcl-xL. Given the importance of Bcl-xL in regulating apoptosis, there remains a need for therapies that inhibit Bcl-xL activity, particularly selectively, as an approach towards the treatment of diseases in which apoptosis is dysregulated via expression or over-expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, such as Bcl-xL. Targeted 10 therapeutic agents to treat hyperproliferative disorders like cancer, and other disease are of interest.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Reference will now be made in detail to certain embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying structures and formulas. While the invention will 15 be described in conjunction with the enumerated embodiments, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, which may be included within the scope of the invention as defined by the claims. One skilled in the art will recognize many methods and materials similar or equivalent to 20 those described herein, which could be used in the practice of the present invention. The invention is in no way limited to the methods and materials described. DEFINITIONS The terms “antibody” or “antibody construct” refer to a polypeptide comprising an antigen binding region (including the complementarity determining region (CDRs)) from an 25 immunoglobulin gene or fragments thereof. The term “antibody” specifically encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments that exhibit the desired biological activity. An exemplary immunoglobulin (antibody) structural unit comprises a tetramer. Each tetramer is composed of two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair 30 having one “light” (about 25 kDa) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kDa) connected by disulfide bonds. Each chain is composed of structural domains, which are referred to as immunoglobulin domains. These domains are classified into different categories by size and function, e.g., variable domains or regions on the light and heavy chains (VLand VH, 5 15077.006WO2 respectively) and constant domains or regions on the light and heavy chains (CL and CH, respectively). The N-terminus of each chain defines a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids, referred to as the paratope, primarily responsible for antigen recognition, i.e., the antigen binding domain. Light chains are classified as either kappa or lambda. Heavy chains 5 are classified as gamma, mu, alpha, delta, or epsilon, which in turn define the immunoglobulin classes, IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE, respectively. IgG antibodies are large molecules of about 150 kDa composed of four peptide chains. IgG antibodies contain two identical class γ heavy chains of about 50 kDa and two identical light chains of about 25 kDa, thus a tetrameric quaternary structure. The two heavy chains are linked to each other and to a light chain each by 10 disulfide bonds. The resulting tetramer has two identical halves, which together form the Y-like shape. Each end of the fork contains an identical antigen binding domain. There are four IgG subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4) in humans, named in order of their abundance in serum (i.e., IgG1 is the most abundant). Typically, the antigen binding domain of an antibody will be most critical in specificity and affinity of binding to cancer cells. 15 “Bispecific” antibodies (bsAbs) are antibodies that bind two distinct epitopes to cancer (Suurs F.V. et al (2019) Pharmacology & Therapeutics 201:103-119). Bispecific antibodies may engage immune cells to destroy tumor cells, deliver TPI-Sp-VHL moieties to tumors, and / or block tumor signaling pathways. An antibody that targets a particular antigen includes a bispecific or multispecific antibody with at least one antigen binding region that targets the 20 particular antigen. In some embodiments, the targeted monoclonal antibody is a bispecific antibody with at least one antigen binding region that targets tumor cells. Such antigens include but are not limited to: mesothelin, prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), HER2, HER3, TROP2, CEA, CEACAM5, EGFR, 5T4, Nectin4, CCL-1, CCR7, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD30, CD33, CD70, CD79b, CD123, CDH3, B7H3, B7H4 (also known as 08E), Integrin-beta6, 25 protein tyrosine kinase 7 (PTK7), glypican-3, GPC-1, LIV-1, Folate receptor alpha, Claudin18.2, RG1, fucosyl-GMl, tissue factor (CD142), cKit (CD117), Axl, , GC-C, CTLA-4, and CD44 (WO 2017 / 196598). In some embodiments, the antibody construct is an antigen-binding antibody “fragment,” which comprises at least an antigen-binding region of an antibody, alone or with other 30 components that together constitute the antibody construct. Many different types of antibody “fragments” are known in the art, including, for instance, (i) a Fab fragment, which is a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains, (ii) a F(ab’)2 fragment, which is a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region, (iii) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an 35 antibody, (iv) a Fab’ fragment, which results from breaking the disulfide bridge of an F(ab’)2 6 15077.006WO2 fragment using mild reducing conditions, (v) a disulfide-stabilized Fv fragment (dsFv), and (vi) a single chain Fv (scFv), which is a monovalent molecule consisting of the two domains of the Fv fragment (i.e., VLand VH) joined by a synthetic linker which enables the two domains to be synthesized as a single polypeptide chain. In some embodiments, the antibody construct is an 5 antibody or a fusion protein comprising (i) an antigen binding domain and (ii) an Fc domain. The antibody or antibody fragment can be part of a larger construct, for example, a conjugate or fusion construct of the antibody fragment to additional regions. For instance, in some embodiments, the antibody fragment can be fused to an Fc region as described herein. In other embodiments, the antibody fragment (e.g., a Fab or scFv) can be part of a chimeric antigen 10 receptor or chimeric T-cell receptor, for instance, by fusing to a transmembrane domain (optionally with an intervening linker or “stalk” (e.g., hinge region)) and optional intercellular signaling domain. For instance, the antibody fragment can be fused to the gamma and / or delta chains of a t-cell receptor, so as to provide a T-cell receptor like construct that binds PD-L1. In yet another embodiment, the antibody fragment is part of a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTEs) 15 comprising a CD1 or CD3 binding domain and linker. In some embodiments, the antibody construct comprises an Fc domain. In certain embodiments, the antibody construct is a fusion protein. The antigen binding domain can be a single-chain variable region fragment (scFv). A single-chain variable region fragment (scFv), which is a truncated Fab fragment including the variable (V) domain of an antibody heavy chain 20 linked to a V domain of a light antibody chain via a synthetic peptide, can be generated using routine recombinant DNA technology techniques. Similarly, disulfide-stabilized variable region fragments (dsFv) can be prepared by recombinant DNA technology. The antibody construct or antigen binding domain may comprise one or more variable regions (e.g., two variable regions) of an antigen binding domain of an anti-CEA antibody, each variable region comprising a 25 CDR1, a CDR2, and a CDR3. “Cysteine-mutant antibody” or “Cysteine-engineered antibody” refer to an antibody in which one or more amino acid residues of an antibody are substituted with cysteine residues. A cysteine-mutant antibody may be prepared from the parent antibody by antibody engineering methods (Junutula, J. et al., (2008b) Nature Biotech., 26(8):925-932; Dornan et al. (2009) Blood 30 114(13):2721-2729; US 7521541; US 7723485; US 2012 / 0121615; WO 2009 / 052249). Cysteine residues provide for site-specific conjugation of a TPI-Sp-VHL compound to the antibody through the reactive cysteine thiol groups at the mutated / engineered cysteine sites but do not perturb immunoglobulin folding and assembly or alter antigen binding and effector functions. Cysteine-mutant antibodies can be conjugated to the TPI-Sp-VHL-linker compound with 35 uniform stoichiometry of the antibody conjugate (e.g., up to two TPI-Sp-VHL moieties per 7 15077.006WO2 antibody in an antibody that has a single engineered, mutant cysteine site). The TPI-Sp-VHL- linker compound has a reactive electrophilic group to react specifically with the free cysteine thiol groups of the cysteine-mutant antibody. A modified antibody or fragment can have two or more cysteine substitutions, and these substitutions can be used in combination with other 5 antibody modification and conjugation methods as described herein. Methods for inserting cysteine at specific locations of an antibody are known in the art, see, e.g., Lyons et al, (1990) Protein Eng., 3:703-708, WO 2011 / 005481, WO2014 / 124316, WO 2015 / 138615. “Epitope” means any antigenic determinant or epitopic determinant of an antigen to which an antigen binding domain binds (i.e., at the paratope of the antigen binding domain). 10 Antigenic determinants usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules, such as amino acids or sugar side chains, and usually have specific three dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics. The terms “Fc receptor” or “FcR” refer to a receptor that binds to the Fc region of an antibody. There are three main classes of Fc receptors: (1) FcγR which bind to IgG, (2) FcαR 15 which binds to IgA, and (3) FcεR which binds to IgE. The FcγR family includes several members, such as FcγI (CD64), FcγRIIA (CD32A), FcγRIIB (CD32B), FcγRIIIA (CD16A), and FcγRIIIB (CD16B). The Fcγ receptors differ in their affinity for IgG and also have different affinities for the IgG subclasses (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4). Nucleic acid or amino acid sequence “identity,” as referenced herein, can be determined 20 by comparing a nucleic acid or amino acid sequence of interest to a reference nucleic acid or amino acid sequence. The percent identity is the number of nucleotides or amino acid residues that are the same (i.e., that are identical) as between the optimally aligned sequence of interest and the reference sequence divided by the length of the longest sequence (i.e., the length of either the sequence of interest or the reference sequence, whichever is longer). Alignment of 25 sequences and calculation of percent identity can be performed using available software programs. Examples of such programs include CLUSTAL-W, T-Coffee, and ALIGN (for alignment of nucleic acid and amino acid sequences), BLAST programs (e.g., BLAST 2.1, BL2SEQ, BLASTp, BLASTn, and the like) and FASTA programs (e.g., FASTA3x, FASTM, and SSEARCH) (for sequence alignment and sequence similarity searches). Sequence alignment 30 algorithms also are disclosed in, for example, Altschul et al., J. Molecular Biol., 215(3): 403-410 (1990), Beigert et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 106(10): 3770-3775 (2009), Durbin et al., eds., Biological Sequence Analysis: Probalistic Models of Proteins and Nuclei A ids, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK (2009), Soding, Bioinformatics, 21(7): 951-960 (2005), Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 25(17): 3389-3402 (1997), and Gusfield, Algorithms 35 on Strings, Trees and Sequences, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge UK (1997)). Percent 8 15077.006WO2 (%) identity of sequences can be also calculated, for example, as 100 x [(identical positions) / min(TGA, TGB)], where TGAand TGBare the sum of the number of residues and internal gap positions in peptide sequences A and B in the alignment that minimizes TGAand TGB. See, e.g., Russell et al., J. Mol Biol., 244: 332-350 (1994). 5 The “antibody construct” or “binding agent” comprises Ig heavy and light chain variable region polypeptides that together form the antigen binding site. Each of the heavy and light chain variable regions are polypeptides comprising three complementarity determining regions (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3) connected by framework regions. The antibody construct can be any of a variety of types of binding agents known in the art that comprise Ig heavy and light 10 chains. For instance, the binding agent can be an antibody, an antigen-binding antibody “fragment,” or a T-cell receptor. “Amino acid” refers to any monomeric unit that can be incorporated into a peptide, polypeptide, or protein. Amino acids include naturally-occurring α-amino acids and their stereoisomers, as well as unnatural (non-naturally occurring) amino acids and their 15 stereoisomers. “Stereoisomers” of a given amino acid refer to isomers having the same molecular formula and intramolecular bonds but different three-dimensional arrangements of bonds and atoms (e.g., an L-amino acid and the corresponding D-amino acid). The amino acids can be glycosylated (e.g., N-linked glycans, O-linked glycans, phosphoglycans, C-linked glycans, or glypication) or deglycosylated. Amino acids may be referred to herein by either the 20 commonly known three letter symbols or by the one-letter symbols recommended by the IUPAC-IUB Biochemical Nomenclature Commission. Naturally-occurring amino acids are those encoded by the genetic code, as well as those amino acids that are later modified, e.g., hydroxyproline, γ-carboxyglutamate, and O-phosphoserine. Naturally-occurring α-amino acids include, without limitation, alanine (Ala), 25 cysteine (Cys), aspartic acid (Asp), glutamic acid (Glu), phenylalanine (Phe), glycine (Gly), histidine (His), isoleucine (Ile), arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), leucine (Leu), methionine (Met), asparagine (Asn), proline (Pro), glutamine (Gln), serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), valine (Val), tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), and combinations thereof. Stereoisomers of naturally-occurring α-amino acids include, without limitation, D-alanine (D-Ala), D-cysteine (D-Cys), D-aspartic30 acid (D-Asp), D-glutamic acid (D-Glu), D-phenylalanine (D-Phe), D-histidine (D-His), D- isoleucine (D-Ile), D-arginine (D-Arg), D-lysine (D-Lys), D-leucine (D-Leu), D-methionine (D- Met), D-asparagine (D-Asn), D-proline (D-Pro), D-glutamine (D-Gln), D-serine (D-Ser), D- threonine (D-Thr), D-valine (D-Val), D-tryptophan (D-Trp), D-tyrosine (D-Tyr), and combinations thereof. 9 15077.006WO2 Naturally-occurring amino acids include those formed in proteins by post-translational modification, such as citrulline (Cit). Unnatural (non-naturally occurring) amino acids include, without limitation, amino acid analogs, amino acid mimetics, synthetic amino acids, N-substituted glycines, and N-methyl 5 amino acids in either the L- or D-configuration that function in a manner similar to the naturally- occurring amino acids. For example, “amino acid analogs” can be unnatural amino acids that have the same basic chemical structure as naturally-occurring amino acids (i.e., a carbon that is bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group) but have modified side-chain groups or modified peptide backbones, e.g., homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, and 10 methionine methyl sulfonium. “Amino acid mimetics” refer to chemical compounds that have a structure that is different from the general chemical structure of an amino acid, but that functions in a manner similar to a naturally-occurring amino acid. “Linker” refers to a functional group that covalently bonds two or more moieties in an antibody conjugate compound. For example, the linking moiety can serve to covalently bond a 15 drug TPI-Sp-VHL moiety to an antibody in an antibody conjugate composition. Useful bonds for connecting linking moieties to proteins and other materials include, but are not limited to, amides, amines, esters, carbamates, ureas, thioethers, thiocarbamates, thiocarbonates, and thioureas. “Divalent” refers to a chemical moiety that contains two points of attachment for linking 20 two functional groups; polyvalent linking moieties can have additional points of attachment for linking further functional groups. Divalent radicals may be denoted by the suffix “diyl”. For example, divalent linking moieties include divalent polymer moieties such as divalent poly(ethylene glycol), divalent cycloalkyl, divalent heterocycloalkyl, divalent aryl, and divalent heteroaryl group. A “divalent cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl group” refers to a 25 cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl group having two points of attachment for covalently linking two moieties in a molecule or material. Cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl groups can be substituted or unsubstituted. Cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl groups can be substituted with one or more groups selected from halo, hydroxy, amino, alkylamino, amido acyl, nitro, cyano, alkoxy, and others. 30 A wavy line (“ ”) and one or more asterisks (*) represents a point of attachment ofthe specifi d chemical moiety to another moiety. If the specified chemical moiety has two wavy lines (“ ”) present, it will be understood that the chemical moiety can be used bilaterally, i.e.,as read from left to ht or from right to left. In some embodiments, a specified moiety having two wavy lines (“ ”) present is considered to be used as read from left to right.10 15077.006WO2 “Alkyl” refers to a straight (linear) or branched, saturated, aliphatic radical having the number of carbon atoms indicated. Alkyl can include any number of carbons, for example from one to six, one to eight, one to twelve, one to twenty, or one to forty. Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me, -CH3), ethyl (Et, -CH2CH3), 1-propyl (n-Pr, n- 5 propyl, -CH2CH2CH3), 2-propyl (i-Pr, i-propyl, -CH(CH3)2), 1-butyl (n-Bu, n-butyl, - CH2CH2CH2CH3), 2-methyl-1-propyl (i-Bu, i-butyl, -CH2CH(CH3)2), 2-butyl (s-Bu, s-butyl, - CH(CH3)CH2CH3), 2-methyl-2-propyl (t-Bu, t-butyl, -C(CH3)3), 1-pentyl (n-pentyl, - CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3), 2-pentyl (-CH(CH3)CH2CH2CH3), 3-pentyl (-CH(CH2CH3)2), 2-methyl- 2-butyl (-C(CH3)2CH2CH3), 3-methyl-2-butyl (-CH(CH3)CH(CH3)2), 3-methyl-1-butyl (-10 CH2CH2CH(CH3)2), 2-methyl-1-butyl (-CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH3), 1-hexyl (- CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3), 2-hexyl (-CH(CH3)CH2CH2CH2CH3), 3-hexyl (- CH(CH2CH3)(CH2CH2CH3)), 2-methyl-2-pentyl (-C(CH3)2CH2CH2CH3), 3-methyl-2-pentyl (- CH(CH3)CH(CH3)CH2CH3), 4-methyl-2-pentyl (-CH(CH3)CH2CH(CH3)2), 3-methyl-3-pentyl (- C(CH3)(CH2CH3)2), 2-methyl-3-pentyl (-CH(CH2CH3)CH(CH3)2), 2,3-dimethyl-2-butyl (- 15 C(CH3)2CH(CH3)2), 3,3-dimethyl-2-butyl (-CH(CH3)C(CH3)3, 1-heptyl, 1-octyl, and the like. Alkyl groups can be substituted or unsubstituted. “Substituted alkyl” groups can be substituted with one or more groups selected from halo, hydroxy, amino, oxo (=O), alkylamino, amido, acyl, nitro, cyano, and alkoxy.

The term "stereoisomers" refers to compounds which have identical chemical constitution, but differ with regard to the arrangement of the atoms or groups in space. Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, 10 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. The compounds of the invention may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that the compounds of the invention include all stereoisomeric forms of, including but not limited to, diastereomers, 15 enantiomers and atropisomers, as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, and form part of the present invention. 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 l or (+) and (-) are employed to designate 20 the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (-) or 1 meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is 25 referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process. The terms "racemic mixture" and "racemate" refer to an equimolar mixture of two enantiomeric species, devoid of optical activity. "Diastereomer" refers to a stereoisomer with two or more centers of chirality and whose 30 molecules are not mirror images of one another. Diastereomers have different physical properties, e.g. melting points, boiling points, spectral properties, and reactivities. Mixtures of diastereomers may separate under high resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography. "Enantiomers" refer to two stereoisomers of a compound which are non-superimposable 35 mirror images of one another. 18 15077.006WO2 The term "tautomer" or "tautomeric form" refers to structural isomers of different energies which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. Valence tautomers include interconversions by 5 reorganization of some of the bonding electrons. The term "salt" refers to acid or base salts of the compounds of the disclosed herein. Illustrative examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are mineral acid (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, and the like) salts, organic acid (acetic acid, propionic acid, glutamic acid, citric acid and the like) salts, quaternary ammonium (methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, 10 and the like) salts. It is understood that the pharmaceutically acceptable salts are non-toxic. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the acidic compounds disclosed herein are salts formed with bases, namely cationic salts such as alkali and alkaline earth metal salts, such as sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, as well as ammonium salts, such as ammonium, trimethyl-ammonium, diethylammonium, and tris-(hydroxymethyl)-methyl-ammonium salts. 15 Similarly acid addition salts, such as of mineral acids, organic carboxylic and organic sulfonic acids, e.g., hydrochloric acid, methanesulfonic acid, maleic acid, are also possible provided a basic group, such as pyridyl, constitutes part of the structure. The neutral forms of the compounds can be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the 20 various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present disclosure. Any compound or Formula given herein, is intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds (i.e., "isotopic analogs"). Isotopically labeled 25 compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine and iodine, such as2H,3H,11C,13C,14C,13N, 15N,15O,17O,18O,31P,32P,35S,18F,36Cl,123I and125I, respectively. Various isotopically labeled 30 compounds of the present disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H,13C and14C are incorporated. Such isotopically labeled compounds may be useful for enhanced therapeutic activity, in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive 35 treatment of patients. 19 15077.006WO2 The disclosure also includes "deuterated analogs" of compounds described herein in which from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is / are replaced by deuterium (2H), in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds may exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half-life of any compound when 5 administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, "Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism," Trends Pharmacol. Sci.5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium. Deuterium labeled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug 10 metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and / or an improvement in therapeutic index. An18F,3H, or11C labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT or other imaging studies. Isotopically 15 labeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in a compound described herein. The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, 20 may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as "H" or "hydrogen", the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a 25 deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.

Cancers of virtually every tissue are 5 known. The phrase “cancer burden” refers to the quantum of cancer cells or cancer volume in a subject. Reducing cancer burden accordingly refers to reducing the number of cancer cells or the cancer cell volume in a subject. The term “cancer cell” as used herein refers to any cell that is a cancer cell (e.g., from any of the cancers for which an individual can be treated, e.g., isolated from an individual having cancer) or is derived from a cancer cell, e.g., clone of a cancer cell. 10 For example, a cancer cell can be from an established cancer cell line, can be a primary cell isolated from an individual with cancer, can be a progeny cell from a primary cell isolated from an individual with cancer, and the like. In some embodiments, the term can also refer to a portion of a cancer cell, such as a sub-cellular portion, a cell membrane portion, or a cell lysate of a cancer cell. Many types of cancers are known to those of skill in the art, including solid 15 tumors such as carcinomas, sarcomas, glioblastomas, melanomas, lymphomas, and myelomas, and circulating cancers such as leukemias. As used herein, the term “cancer” includes any form of cancer, including but not limited to, solid tumor cancers (e.g., skin, lung, prostate, breast, gastric, bladder, colon, ovarian, pancreas, kidney, liver, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, leiomyosarcoma, head & neck 20 squamous cell carcinomas, melanomas, and neuroendocrine) and liquid cancers (e.g., hematological cancers); carcinomas; soft tissue tumors; sarcomas; teratomas; melanomas; leukemias; lymphomas; and brain cancers, including minimal residual disease, and including both primary and metastatic tumors. The phrases “effective amount” and “therapeutically effective amount” refer to a dose or 25 amount of a substance such as an antibody conjugate that produces therapeutic effects for which it is administered. The exact dose will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, e.g., Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols.1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); Goodman & 30 Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 11thEdition (McGraw-Hill, 2006); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 22ndEdition, (Pharmaceutical Press, London, 2012)). In the case of cancer, the therapeutically effective amount of the antibody conjugate may reduce the number of cancer cells; reduce the tumor size; inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and preferably stop) cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibit (i.e., slow 35 to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; inhibit, to some extent, tumor growth; 21 15077.006WO2 and / or relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. To the extent the antibody conjugate may prevent growth and / or kill existing cancer cells, it may be cytostatic and / or cytotoxic. For cancer therapy, efficacy can, for example, be measured by assessing the time to disease progression (TTP) and / or determining the response rate (RR) 5 “Recipient,” “individual,” “subject,” “host,” and “patient” are used interchangeably and refer to any mammalian subject for whom diagnosis, treatment, or therapy is desired (e.g., humans). “Mammal” for purposes of treatment refers to any animal classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm animals, and zoo, sports, or pet animals, such as dogs, horses, cats, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, camels, etc. In certain embodiments, the mammal is 10 human. As used herein, the term “administering” refers to parenteral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intratumoral, intralesional, intranasal, or subcutaneous administration, oral administration, administration as a suppository, topical contact, intrathecal administration, or the implantation of a slow-release device, e.g., a mini-osmotic pump, to the 15 subject. The terms “about” and “around,” as used herein to modify a numerical value, indicate a close range surrounding the numerical value. Thus, if “X” is the value, “about X” or “around X” indicates a value of from 0.9X to 1.1X, e.g., from 0.95X to 1.05X or from 0.99X to 1.01X. A reference to “about X” or “around X” specifically indicates at least the values X, 0.95X, 0.96X, 20 0.97X, 0.98X, 0.99X, 1.01X, 1.02X, 1.03X, 1.04X, and 1.05X. Accordingly, “about X” and “around X” are intended to teach and provide written description support for a claim limitation of, e.g., “0.98X.” ANTIBODIES The degrader antibody conjugate (DAC) compositions of the invention comprise an 25 antibody. Included in the scope of the antibody embodiments of the invention are functional variants of the antibody constructs or antigen binding domain described herein. The term “functional variant” as used herein refers to an antibody construct having an antigen binding domain with substantial or significant sequence identity or similarity to a parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain, which functional variant retains the biological activity of 30 the antibody construct or antigen binding domain of which it is a variant. Functional variants encompass, for example, those variants of the antibody constructs or antigen binding domain described herein (the parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain) that retain the ability to recognize target cells expressing a tumor-associated antigen or cell surface receptor to a 22 15077.006WO2 similar extent, the same extent, or to a higher extent, as the parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain. In reference to the antibody construct or antigen binding domain, the functional variant can, for instance, be at least about 30%, about 50%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 5 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99% or more identical in amino acid sequence to the antibody construct or antigen binding domain. A functional variant can, for example, comprise the amino acid sequence of the parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain with at least one conservative amino acid 10 substitution. Alternatively, or additionally, the functional variants can comprise the amino acid sequence of the parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain with at least one non- conservative amino acid substitution. In this case, it is preferable for the non-conservative amino acid substitution to not interfere with or inhibit the biological activity of the functional variant. The non-conservative amino acid substitution may enhance the biological activity of the 15 functional variant, such that the biological activity of the functional variant is increased as compared to the parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain. A functional variant can, for example, comprise the amino acid sequence of the parent antibody construct or antigen binding with at least one non-canonical amino acid (ncAA) substitution (L Wang, et al, (2001) Science , 292(5516):498-500, CC Liu, PG Schultz, (2010) 20 Annu Rev Biochem.79:413-44). The antibodies comprising the degrader antibody conjugate (DAC) compositions of the invention include Fc engineered mutant variants are described in: Dall’Acqua, W.F. (2006) J. Biol. Chem.281(33):23514-23524; US 2016 / 0145350; US 2021 / 0139603; US 2024 / 0018259; US 8969526; US 8775090; US 7658921; US 7416726; US 7083784; US 5624821; WO 25 2022 / 097065, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties herein. In some embodiments, the mutations in the Fc region that result in modulated binding to one or more Fc receptors can include one or more of the following mutations: YTE (M252Y / S254T / T256E), LALAPA (L234A / L235A / P329A), LALAPG (L234A / L235A / P329G), SD (S239D), LALASKPA (L234A, L235A, S267K, P329A), SDIE (S239D / I332E), SE (S267E), SELF 30 (S267E / L328F), SDIE (S239D / I332E), SDIEAL (S239D / I332E / A330L), GA (G236A), ALIE (A330L / I332E), GASDALIE (G236A / S239D / A330L / I332E), V9 (G237D / P238D / P271G / A330R), and V11 (G237D / P238D / H268D / P271G / A330R), and / or one or more mutations at the following amino acids: E345R, E345R / E430G, E345K, E233, G237, P238, H268, P271, L328 and A330. 23 15077.006WO2 The antibodies comprising the antibody conjugate compositions of the invention include glycan variants, such as afucosylation. In some embodiments, the Fc region of the binding agents are modified to have an altered glycosylation pattern of the Fc region compared to the native non-modified Fc region. 5 In some embodiments, the antibodies in the antibody conjugate compositions contain a modified Fc region, wherein the modification modulates the binding of the Fc region to one or more Fc receptors. In some embodiments, the antibodies in the antibody conjugate contain one or more modifications (e.g., amino acid insertion, deletion, and / or substitution) in the Fc region that 10 results in modulated binding (e.g., increased binding or decreased binding) to one or more Fc receptors (e.g., FcγRI (CD64), FcγRIIA (CD32A), FcγRIIB (CD32B), FcγRIIIA (CD16a), and / or FcγRIIIB (CD16b)) as compared to the native antibody lacking the mutation in the Fc region. In some embodiments, the antibodies in the antibody conjugate compositions contain one or more modifications (e.g., amino acid insertion, deletion, and / or substitution) in the Fc 15 region that reduce the binding of the Fc region of the antibody to FcγRIIB. In some embodiments, the antibodies in the antibody conjugate compositions contain one or more modifications (e.g., amino acid insertion, deletion, and / or substitution) in the Fc region of the antibody that reduce the binding of the antibody to FcγRIIB while maintaining the same binding or having increased binding to FcγRI (CD64), FcγRIIA (CD32A), and / or FcRγIIIA (CD16a) as 20 compared to the native antibody lacking the mutation in the Fc region. In some embodiments, the antibodies in the antibody conjugate compositions contain one of more modifications in the Fc region that increase the binding of the Fc region of the antibody to FcγRIIB. In some embodiments, the modulated binding is provided by mutations in the Fc region of the antibody relative to the native Fc region of the antibody. The mutations can be in a CH2 25 domain, a CH3 domain, or a combination thereof. A “native Fc region” is synonymous with a “wild-type Fc region” and comprises an amino acid sequence that is identical to the amino acid sequence of an Fc region found in nature or identical to the amino acid sequence of the Fc region found in the native antibody (e.g., cetuximab). Native sequence human Fc regions include a native sequence human IgG1 Fc region, native sequence human IgG2 Fc region, native 30 sequence human IgG3 Fc region, and native sequence human IgG4 Fc region, as well as naturally occurring variants thereof. Native sequence Fc includes the various allotypes of Fcs (Jefferis et al., (2009) mAbs, 1(4):332-338). In some embodiments, the Fc region of the antibodies of the antibody conjugate compositions are modified to have an altered glycosylation pattern of the Fc region compared to 35 the native non-modified Fc region. Human immunoglobulin is glycosylated at the Asn297 24 15077.006WO2 residue in the Cγ2 domain of each heavy chain. This N-linked oligosaccharide is composed of a core heptasaccharide, N-acetylglucosamine4Mannose3 (GlcNAc4Man3). Removal of the heptasaccharide with endoglycosidase or PNGase F is known to lead to conformational changes in the antibody Fc region, which can significantly reduce antibody-binding affinity to activating 5 FcγR and lead to decreased effector function. The core heptasaccharide is often decorated with galactose, bisecting GlcNAc, fucose, or sialic acid, which differentially impacts Fc binding to activating and inhibitory FcγR. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that α2,6-sialyation enhances anti-inflammatory activity in vivo, while afucosylation leads to improved FcγRIIIa binding and a 10-fold increase in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody- 10 dependent phagocytosis. Specific glycosylation patterns, therefore, can be used to control inflammatory effector functions. In some embodiments, the modification to alter the glycosylation pattern is a mutation. For example, a substitution at Asn297. In some embodiments, Asn297 is mutated to glutamine (N297Q). Methods for controlling immune response with antibodies that modulate FcγR- 15 regulated signaling are described, for example, in US 7416726, US 2007 / 0014795 and US 2008 / 0286819, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the antibody conjugate compositions are modified to contain an engineered Fab region with a non-naturally occurring glycosylation pattern. For example, hybridomas can be genetically engineered to secrete afucosylated mAb, 20 desialylated mAb or deglycosylated Fc with specific mutations that enable increased FcRγIIIa binding and effector function. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the antibody conjugate compositions are engineered to be afucosylated or glycosylated. In some embodiments, the antibodies in the antibody conjugate compositions are a cysteine-engineered antibody which provides for site-specific conjugation of an adjuvant, label, 25 or drug moiety to the antibody through cysteine substitutions at sites where the engineered cysteines are available for conjugation but do not perturb immunoglobulin folding and assembly or alter antigen binding and effector functions (Junutula, et al., (2008) Nature Biotech., 26(8):925-932; Dornan et al. (2009) Blood 114(13):2721-2729; US 7521541; US 7723485; US 2012 / 0121615; WO 2009 / 052249). A “cysteine engineered antibody” or “cysteine engineered 30 antibody variant” is an antibody in which one or more residues of an antibody are substituted with cysteine residues. Cysteine-engineered antibodies can be conjugated to the TPI-Sp-VHL moiety with uniform stoichiometry (e.g., up to two TPI-Sp-VHL moieties per antibody in an antibody that has a single engineered cysteine site). In some embodiments, the cysteine-engineered antibodies have a cysteine residue 35 introduced at the 239-serine (HC S239C), 246-lysine (HC K246C) and / or 375-serine (HC 25 15077.006WO2 S375C) sites of the heavy chain according to EU numbering. In other embodiments, cysteine- engineered antibodies are used to prepare antibody conjugate compositions with a reactive cysteine thiol residue introduced at a site on the light chain, such as the 149-lysine site (LC K149C), or on the heavy chain such as the 122-serine site (HC S122C), as numbered by Kabat 5 numbering. In other embodiments, the cysteine-engineered antibodies have a cysteine residue introduced at the 118-alanine site (EU numbering) of the heavy chain (HC A118C). This site is alternatively numbered 121 by Sequential numbering or 114 by Kabat numbering. In other embodiments, the cysteine-engineered antibodies have a cysteine residue introduced in: (i) the light chain at G64C, R142C, K188C, L201C, T129C, S114C, or E105C according to Kabat 10 numbering; (ii) the heavy chain at D101C, V184C, T205C, or S122C according to Kabat numbering; or (iii) other cysteine-mutant antibodies, and as described in Bhakta, S. et al, (2013) “Engineering THIOMABs for Site-Specific Conjugation of Thiol-Reactive Linkers”, Laurent Ducry (ed.), Antibody-Drug Conjugates, Methods in Molecular Biology, vol.1045, pages 189- 203; WO 2011 / 156328; US 9000130. 15 In some embodiments, the antibody is a full-length antibody.

In some embodiments, the antibody is rituximab. In an exemplary embodiment, the degrader antibody conjugate composition of the invention comprises an antibody construct that comprises an antigen binding domain that 5 specifically recognizes and binds CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen). In certain embodiments, the degrader antibody conjugate composition comprises an anti-CEA antibody. to CEACAM antigens. Specifically CEACAM targeting, degrader antibody conjugates of the invention bind to: (i) CEACAM5; (ii) CEACAM6; or (iii) to both CEACAM5 and CEACAM6. CEACAM5, CEACAM6, or both CEACAM5 and CEACAM6 specific antibodies comprise embodiments of 10 the degrader antibody conjugates of the invention for the treatment of CEACAM-expressing tumors. Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) also known as CD66e (Cluster of Differentiation 66e), and carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6, CD66c) are members of the CEACAM gene family (Thomas et al., 15 Genes Cancer 2023, 14, 12-29; Ma, et al, (2024) Mol Cancer Ther, 23:939-948). CEACAM5 and CEACAM6 are anchored to the cell membrane through a glycosylphophatidylinositol (GPI), are heavily glycosylated, and are members of the Ig supergene family. CEACAM5 and CEACAM6 are overexpressed in pancreatic, colorectal and other cancers and are hence good cell surfaces antigens for the development of degrader antibody drug conjugates. 20 Included in the scope of the embodiments of the invention are functional variants of the CEACAM antibody constructs or antigen binding domain described herein. The term “functional variant” as used herein refers to an antibody construct having an antigen binding domain with substantial or significant sequence identity or similarity to a parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain, which functional variant retains the biological activity of 25 the antibody construct or antigen binding domain of which it is a variant. Functional variants encompass, for example, those variants of the antibody constructs or antigen binding domain described herein (the parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain) that retain the ability to recognize target cells expressing CEACAM to a similar extent, the same extent, or to a higher extent, as the parent antibody construct or antigen binding domain. 30 Labetuzumab (CEA-CIDETM, Immunomedics, CAS Reg. No.219649-07-7), also known as MN-14 and hMN14, is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody and has been studied for the treatment of colorectal cancer (Blumenthal, R. et al (2005) Cancer Immunology Immunotherapy 54(4):315-327). Tusamitamab (CAS Reg. No.2349294-95-5) is a humanized monoclonal antibody which binds to CEA (WO 2014 / 079886; WO 2020 / 216847). NEO-201 antibody binds 35 both CEACAM5 and CEACAM6 through a glycol-epitope (US11767367). 28 15077.006WO2 In an exemplary embodiment, the degrader antibody conjugate composition of the invention comprises an antibody construct that comprises an antigen binding domain that specifically recognizes and binds HER2. In certain embodiments, the degrader antibody conjugate composition comprises an anti-HER2 antibody. In one embodiment of the invention, 5 an anti-HER2 antibody of an antibody conjugate composition of the invention comprises a humanized anti-HER2 antibody, e.g., huMAb4D5-1, huMAb4D5-2, huMAb4D5-3, huMAb4D5- 4, huMAb4D5-5, huMAb4D5-6, huMAb4D5-7 and huMAb4D5-8, as described in Table 3 of US 5821337, which is specifically incorporated by reference herein. Those antibodies contain human framework regions with the complementarity-determining regions of a murine antibody 10 (4D5) that binds to HER2. The humanized antibody huMAb4D5-8 is also referred to as trastuzumab, commercially available under the tradename HERCEPTIN™ (Genentech, Inc.). Trastuzumab (CAS 180288-69-1, HERCEPTIN^, huMAb4D5-8, rhuMAb HER2, Genentech) is a recombinant DNA-derived, IgG1 kappa, monoclonal antibody. Trastuzumab is a humanized version of a murine anti-HER2 antibody (4D5) that selectively binds with high affinity in a cell- 15 based assay (Kd = 5 nM) to the extracellular domain of HER2 (US 5677171; US 5821337; US 6054297; US 6165464; US 6339142; US 6407213; US 6639055; US 6719971; US 6800738; US 7074404; Coussens et al (1985) Science 230:1132-9; Slamon et al (1989) Science 244:707-12; Slamon et al (2001) New Engl. J. Med.344:783-792). In an exemplary embodiment, the antibody construct or antigen binding domain 20 comprises the CDR regions of trastuzumab. In an embodiment of the invention, the anti-HER2 antibody further comprises the framework regions of the trastuzumab. In an exemplary embodiment, the anti-HER2 antibody further comprises one or both variable regions of trastuzumab. In an exemplary embodiment, the antibody is cysteine-engineered trastuzumab. 25 In another embodiment of the invention, an anti-HER2 antibody of an antibody conjugate composition of the invention comprises a humanized anti-HER2 antibody, e.g., humanized 2C4, as described in US 7862817. An exemplary humanized 2C4 antibody is pertuzumab (CAS Reg. No.380610-27-5), PERJETA™ (Genentech, Inc.). Pertuzumab is a HER dimerization inhibitor (HDI) and functions to inhibit the ability of HER2 to form active 30 heterodimers or homodimers with other HER receptors (such as EGFR / HER1, HER2, HER3 and HER4). See, for example, Harari and Yarden, Oncogene 19:6102-14 (2000); Yarden and Sliwkowski. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 2:127-37 (2001); Sliwkowski, M. et al (2003) Nat Struct Biol 10:158-9; Cho et al. (2003) Nature 421:756-60; and Malik et al. (2003) Pro Am Soc Cancer Res 44:176-7). PERJETA™ is approved for the treatment of breast cancer. 29 15077.006WO2 In an embodiment of the invention, the antibody construct or antigen binding domain comprises the CDR regions of pertuzumab. In an embodiment of the invention, the anti-HER2 antibody further comprises the framework regions of the pertuzumab. In an embodiment of the invention, the anti-HER2 antibody further comprises one or both variable regions of 5 pertuzumab. In an exemplary embodiment, the antibody is cysteine-engineered pertuzumab. In another embodiment of the invention, an anti-HER2 antibody of a DAC comprises 7C2, an anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (Lewis, G. et al (2024) Nature Communications 15:466). Anti-HER2 murine (WO 1998 / 017797)and humanized (WO 2016 / 040723) 7C2 10 antibodies binds to an epitope in domain I of HER2. This epitope is distinct from the epitope bound by trastuzumab, which binds to domain IV of HER2, and the epitope bound by pertuzumab, which binds to domain II of HER2. By binding domain IV, trastuzumab disrupts ligand-independent HER2-HER3 complexes, thereby inhibiting downstream signaling (e.g. PI3K / AKT). In contrast, pertuzumab binding to domain II prevents ligand-driven HER2 15 interaction with other HER family members (e.g. HER3, HER1 or HER4), thus also preventing downstream signal transduction. Binding of MAb 7C2 to domain I does not result in interference of trastuzumab or pertuzumab binding to domains IV and II, respectively, thereby offering the potential of combining a 7C2 DAC with trastuzumab, trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM-1), and / or pertuzumab 20 In another embodiment of the invention, a DAC comprises a bispecific antibody that binds to HER2 and another tumor-associated antigen, including but not limited to: HER3, BCMA, PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen), EGFR, DLL1, ANG-2, CD1, CD3, CD16, and CD47 (Zong, H. et al (2024) Acta Pharmacologica Sinica 45:1727–1739). In another embodiment of the invention, an anti-HER2 antibody of a DAC comprises 25 margetuximab (also called MGAH22), another anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody. The Fc region of margetuximab is optimized for increased binding to the activating Fc gamma Rs but decreased binding to the inhibitory Fc.gamma.Rs on immune effector cells. Margetuximab is approved by the FDA for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory advanced breast cancer whose tumors express HER2 at the 2+ level by immunohistochemistry and lack evidence 30 of HER2 gene amplification by FISH. In another embodiment of the invention, an anti-HER2 antibody of a DAC comprises anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody HT-19 which binds to an epitope in human HER2 distinct from the epitope of trastuzumab or pertuzumab. HT-19 was shown to inhibit HER2 signaling comparable to trastuzumab and enhance HER2 degradation in combination with trastuzumab 35 and pertuzumab (Bergstrom D. A. et al., (2015) Cancer Res.; 75:LB-231). 30 15077.006WO2 ANTIBODY TARGETS In some embodiments, the antibody of an antibody conjugate composition is capable of binding one or more targets selected from (e.g., specifically binds to a target selected from) 5T4, ABL, ABCF1, ACVR1, ACVR1B, ACVR2, ACVR2B, ACVRL1, ADORA2A, Aggrecan, 5 AGR2, AICDA, AIF1, AIGI, AKAP1, AKAP2, AMH, AMHR2, ANGPT1, ANGPT2, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, ANPEP, APC, APOC1, AR, aromatase, ATX, AX1, Axl, AZGP1 (zinc- a-glycoprotein), B7.1, B7.2, B7-H1, B7-H3, B7-H4, BAD, BAFF, BAG1, BAI1, BCR, BCL2, BCL6, BDNF, BLNK, BLR1 (MDR15), BIyS, BMP1, BMP2, BMP3B (GDFIO), BMP4, BMP6, BMP8, BMPRTA, BMPR1B, BMPR2, BPAG1 (plectin), BRCA1, C19orflO (IL27w), 10 C3, C4A, C5, C5R1, CANT1, CAPRIN-1, CASP1, CASP4, CAV1, CCBP2 (D6 / JAB61), CCLI (1-309), CCLI1 (eotaxin), CCL13 (MCP-4), CCL15 (MIP-Id), CCL16 (HCC-4), CCL17 (TARC), CCL18 (PARC), CCL19 (MIP-3b), CCL2 (MCP-1), MCAF, CCL20 (MIP-3a), CCL21 (MEP-2), SLC, exodus-2, CCL22(MDC / STC-1), CCL23 (MPIF-I), CCL24 (MPIF-2 / eotaxin-2), CCL25 (TECK), CCL26 (eotaxin-3), CCL27 (CTACK / ILC), CCL28, CCL3 (MIP-Ia), CCL4 15 (MIPIb), CCL5 (RANTES), CCL7 (MCP-3), CCL8 (mcp-2), CCNA1, CCNA2, CCND1, CCNE1, CCNE2, CCR1 (CKR1 / HM145), CCR2 (mcp-IRB / RA), CCR3 (CKR3 / CMKBR3), CCR4, CCR5 (CMKBR5 / ChemR13), CCR6 (CMKBR6 / CKR-L3 / STRL22 / DRY6), CCR7 (CKR7 / EBI1), CCR8 (CMKBR8 / TERI / CKR-L1), CCR9 (GPR-9-6), CCRL1 (VSHK1), CCRL2 (L-CCR), CD164, CD19, CDIC, CD2, CD20, CD21, CD200, CD22, CD24, CD27, CD28, CD3, 20 CD30, CD33, CD35, CD37, CD38, CD3E, CD3G, CD3Z, CD4, CD38, CD40, CD40L, CD44, CD45RB, CD47, CD52, CD69, CD72, CD74, CD79A, CD79B, CD8, CD80, CD81, CD83, CD86, CD117 (cKit), CD123, CD137, CD152, CD274, CDH1 (Ecadherin), CDH3 (Pcadherin), CDH1O, CDH12, CDH13, CDH18, CDH19, CDH2O, CDH5, CDH7, CDH8, CDH9, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK5, CDK6, CDK7, CDK9, CDKN1A (p21Wap1 / Cip1), CDKN1B (p27Kip1), 25 CDKN1C, CDKN2A (p16INK4a), CDKN2B, CDKN2C, CDKN3, CEACAM5, CEACAM6, CEBPB, CERI, CHGA, CHGB, Chitinase, CHST1O, CKLFSF2, CKLFSF3, CKLFSF4, CKLFSF5, CKLFSF6, CKLFSF7, CKLFSF8, CLDN3, CLDN7 (claudin-7), CLDN18.2 (claudin 18.2), CLL-1, CLN3, CLU (clusterin), cMet, CMKLR1, CMKOR1 (RDC1), CNR1, COL18A1, COLIA1, COL4A3, COL6A1, CR2, Cripto, CRP, CSF1 (M-CSF), CSF2 (GM-CSF), 30 CSF3 (GCSF), CTL8, CTNNB1 (b-catenin), CTSB (cathepsin B), CX3CL1 (SCYD1), CX3CR1 (V28), CXCL1 (GRO1), CXCL1O (IP-IO), CXCLI1 (1-TAC / IP-9), CXCL12 (SDF1), CXCL13, CXCL14, CXCL16, CXCL2 (GRO2), CXCL3 (GRO3), CXCL5 (ENA-78 / LIX), CXCL6 (GCP- 2), CXCL9 (MIG), CXCR3 (GPR9 / CKR-L2), CXCR4, CXCR6 (TYMSTR / STRL33 / Bonzo), CYB5, CYC1, CYSLTR1, DAB2IP, DES, DKFZp451J0118, DNCL1, DPP4, E2F1, Engel, 35 Edge, Fennel, EFNA3, EFNB2, EGF, EGFR, ELAC2, ENG, Enola, ENO2, ENO3, EPHA1, 31 15077.006WO2 EPHA2, EPHA3, EPHA4, EPHA5, EPHA6, EPHA7, EPHA8, EPHA9, EPRA10, EPHB1, EPHB2, EPHB3, EPHB4, EPHB5, EPHB6, EPHRIN-A1, EPHRIN-A2, EPHRINA3, EPHRIN- A4, EPHRIN-A5, EPHRIN-A6, EPHRIN-B1, EPHRIN-B2, EPHRIN-B3, EPHB4, EPG, ERBB2 (Her-2), EREG, ERK8, Estrogen receptor, Earl, ESR2, F3 (TF), FADD, 5 farnesyltransferase, FasL, FAP, FASNf, FCER1A, FCER2, FCGR3A, FGF, FGF1 (aFGF), FGF10, FGF11, FGF12, FGF12B, FGF13, FGF14, FGF16, FGF17, FGF18, FGF19, FGF2 (bFGF).

In some embodiments, the antibody binds to an antigen selected from CDH1, CD19, CD20, CD29, CD30, CD38, CD40, CD47, EpCAM, MUC1, MUC16, EGFR, HER2, SLAMF7, 5 and gp75. In some embodiments, the antibody of an antibody conjugate composition of the invention is capable of binding to one or more tumor-associated antigens (TAA), cell-surface receptors, and immune-specific antigens to confer specificity to the targeting of the conjugate and enable safe and systemic delivery of an active drug moiety. 10 Certain tumor-associated antigens are known in the art, and can be prepared for use in generating antibodies using methods and information which are well known in the art. In attempts to discover effective cellular targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy, researchers have sought to identify transmembrane or otherwise tumor-associated polypeptides that are specifically expressed on the surface of one or more particular type(s) of cancer cell as 15 compared to on one or more normal non-cancerous cell(s). Often, such tumor-associated polypeptides are more abundantly expressed on the surface of the cancer cells as compared to on the surface of the non-cancerous cells. The identification of such tumor-associated cell surface antigen polypeptides allows more specificity in targeting cancer cells for destruction via antibody-based therapies. 20 Examples of TAAs include, but are not limited to, those listed below including (1)-(54). For convenience, information relating to these antigens, all of which are known in the art, is listed below and includes names, alternative names, Genbank accession numbers and primary reference(s), following nucleic acid and protein sequence identification conventions of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Nucleic acid and protein sequences 25 corresponding to TAAs listed below including (1)-(54) are available in public databases such as GenBank. TAAs targeted by antibodies include all amino acid sequence variants and isoforms possessing at least about 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% sequence identity relative to the sequences identified in the cited references, and / or which exhibit substantially the same biological properties or characteristics as a TAA having a sequence found in the cited references. 30 For example, a TAA having a variant sequence generally is able to bind specifically to an antibody that binds specifically to the TAA with the corresponding sequence listed.

(52) CD33, a member of the sialic acid binding, immunoglobulin-like lectin family, is a 67-kDa glycosylated transmembrane protein. CD33is expressed on most myeloid and 20 monocytic leukemia cells in addition to committed myelomonocytic and erythroid progenitor cells. It is not seen on the earliest pluripotent stem cells, mature granulocytes, lymphoid cells, or nonhematopoietic cells (Sabbath et al., (1985) J. Clin. Invest.75:756-56; Andrews et al., (1986) Blood 68:1030-5). CD33 contains two tyrosine residues on its cytoplasmic tail, each of which is followed by hydrophobic residues similar to the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif 25 (ITIM) seen in many inhibitory receptors. (53) CLL-1 (CLEC12A, MICL, and DCAL2), encodes a member of the C-type lectin / C- type lectin-like domain (CTL / CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signaling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The protein encoded by this gene is a 30 negative regulator of granulocyte and monocyte function. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. This gene is closely linked to other CTL / CTLD superfamily members in the natural killer gene complex region on chromosome 12p13 (Drickamer K (1999) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol.9 (5):585–90; van Rhenen A, et al., (2007) Blood 110 (7):2659–66; Chen CH, et al. 35 (2006) Blood 107 (4):1459–67; Marshall AS, et al. (2006) Eur. J. Immunol.36 (8):2159–69; 44 15077.006WO2 Bakker AB, et al. (2005) Cancer Res.64 (22):8443–50; Marshall AS, , et al. (2004) J. Biol. Chem.279 (15):14792–802). CLL-1 has been shown to be a type II transmembrane receptor comprising a single C-type lectin-like domain (which is not predicted to bind either calcium or sugar), a stalk region, a transmembrane domain and a short cytoplasmic tail containing an ITIM 5 motif. (54) TROP2 (tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2) is a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by the TACSTD2 gene (Linnenbach AJ, et al (1993) Mol Cell Biol.13(3): 1507–15; Calabrese G, et al (2001) Cytogenet Cell Genet.92(1–2): 164–5). TROP2 is an intracellular calcium signal transducer that is differentially expressed in many cancers. It signals 10 cells for self-renewal, proliferation, invasion, and survival. It has stem cell-like qualities. TROP2 is expressed in many normal tissues, though in contrast, it is overexpressed in many cancers (Ohmachi T, et al., (2006) Clin. Cancer Res., 12(10):3057-3063; Muhlmann G, et al., (2009) J. Clin. Pathol., 62(2):152-158; Fong D, et al., (2008) Br. J. Cancer, 99(8):1290-1295; Fong D, et al., (2008) Mod. Pathol., 21(2):186-191; Ning S, et al., (2013) Neurol. Sci., 34(10):1745-1750). 15 Overexpression of TROP2 is of prognostic significance. Several ligands have been proposed that interact with TROP2. TROP2 signals the cells via different pathways and it is transcriptionally regulated by a complex network of several transcription factors. Human TROP2 (TACSTD2: tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2, GA733-1, EGP-1, M1S1; hereinafter, referred to as hTROP2) is a single-pass transmembrane type 1 cell 20 membrane protein consisting of 323 amino acid residues. While the presence of a cell membrane protein involved in immune resistance, which is common to human trophoblasts and cancer cells (Faulk W P, et al. (1978), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.75(4):1947-1951), has previously been suggested, an antigen molecule recognized by a monoclonal antibody against a cell membrane protein in a human choriocarcinoma cell line was identified and designated as TROP2 as one of 25 the molecules expressed In human trophoblasts (Lipinski M, et al. (1981), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 78(8):5147-5150). This molecule was also designated as tumor antigen GA733-1 recognized by a mouse monoclonal antibody GA733 (Linnenbach A J, et al., (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 86(1):27-31) obtained by immunization with a gastric cancer cell line or an epithelial glycoprotein (EGP-1; Basu A, et al., Int. J. Cancer, 62 (4), 472-479 (1995)) recognized by a 30 mouse monoclonal antibody RS7-3G11 obtained by immunization with non-small cell lung cancer cells. In 1995, however, the TROP2 gene was cloned, and all of these molecules were confirmed to be identical molecules (Fornaro M, et al., (1995) Int. J. Cancer, 62(5):610-618).

The TPI-Sp-VHL moiety is attached to a linker unit to prepare target protein binder and VHL ligand linker ((TPI-Sp-VHL)-L) compounds for conjugation with an antibody (Ab) to form Degrader Antibody Conjugate (DAC) compositions. In one aspect, the antibody linker of the antibody conjugates and target protein binder and VHL ligand linker compound comprises a branched phenyl maleimide group and other 10 linker units described in WO 2023 / 173121, which is incorporated by reference herein. In some embodiments, an immolative group (IM), and TPI-Sp-VHL moiety together is selected from the following structures: ; 79 15077.006WO2 ; 5 wherein the wavy line indicates an attachment site to the remainder of the molecule (i.e., a compound of Structure (I) or conjugate of Structure (II)) and a TPI-Sp-VHL moiety. Amino acids of embodiments above may be replaced or used in addition to other amino acids, in some embodiments, a peptide group (PEP) is Asn-Cit, Arg-Cit, Val-Glu, Ser-Cit, Lys- Cit, Asp-Cit, Phe-Lys, Glu-Val-Cit, Glu-Val-Cit, Glu-Glu-Val-Cit, or Glu-Glu-Glu-Val-Cit, and 10 an immolative group is PABC. In some embodiments, the phenyl portion of the PABC is substituted with one or more substituents. In some embodiments, the substituents have one of the following structures: , , , 80 15077.006WO2 In some embodiments, an immolative group comprises one of the following structures: . In some embodiments, a trigger element, an immolative unit (IM), and TPI-Sp-VHL 5 moiety together comprise one of the following structures: . In some embodiments, an immolative unit (IM) has a structure selected from the following: 10 , , , 81 15077.006WO2 an . The structures above show a substitution pattern of 1, 3, 4 on the phenyl ring of an immolative unit (IM). In some embodiments, a substitution pattern may be 1, 2, 4 (i.e., 1 being a linkage to a TPI-Sp-VHL, 2 being a linkage to the remainder of the molecule and 4 being a 5 linkage to the carbohydrate) or 1, 3, 5 (i.e., 1 being a linkage to a TPI-Sp-VHL, 3 being a linkage to the remainder of the molecule and 4 being a linkage to the carbohydrate). Although cleavable linkers (e.g., linkers with trigger elements or immolative unit) can provide certain advantages, linkers need not be cleavable. For non-cleavable linkers, a TPI-Sp- VHL release may not depend on the differential properties between the plasma and some 10 cytoplasmic compartments. The release of a TPI-Sp-VHL can occur after internalization of the conjugate of Structure (II) via antigen-mediated endocytosis and delivery to lysosomal compartment, where the targeting moiety (or binding fragment thereof) can be degraded to the level of amino acids through intracellular proteolytic degradation. This process can release a TPI-Sp-VHL moiety or TPI-Sp-VHL moiety derivative. A TPI-Sp-VHL moiety or TPI-Sp-VHL 15 moiety derivative can be more hydrophilic and less membrane permeable, which can lead to less bystander effects and less non-specific toxicities compared to conjugates with a cleavable linker. Conjugates with non-cleavable linkers can have greater stability in circulation than conjugates with cleavable linkers. Non-cleavable linkers can include alkylene chains, or can be polymeric, such as, for example, based upon polyalkylene glycol polymers, amide polymers, or can include 20 segments of alkylene chains, polyalkylene glycols and / or amide polymers. The linker can contain a polyethylene glycol segment having from 1 to 6 ethylene glycol units. In some embodiments, -L1-R1or L2-R2comprises a linker that is non-cleavable in vivo.

An exemplary embodiment of the DAC of Formula I includes wherein L comprises a solubilizing unit selected from polyglycine, polysarcosine, polyethyleneoxy (PEG), and a glycoside, or combinations thereof. 20 An exemplary embodiment of the DAC of Formula I includes wherein the solubilizing unit is monovalent and the terminus of the solubilizing unit is a group selected from an amino acid, amino, hydroxyl, hydrogen, carboxylic acid, glycerol, or a sugar such as pentaerythritol, maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, isomalt, or combinations thereof. An exemplary embodiment of the DAC of Formula I includes wherein the solubilizing 25 unit and the terminus of the solubilizing unit covalently attached to Str are selected from the structures: 140 15077.006WO2 5 ; 141 15077.006WO2 ; 5 wherein * indicates the point of attachment to Str. An exemplary embodiment of the DAC of Formula I includes the formulas: 142 15077.006WO2 wherein indicates the point of attachment to a cysteine thiol of Ab and indicates the point of attachment to the TPI-Sp-VHL moiety. The invention includes all reasonable combinations, and permutations of the features, of 5 the Formula I embodiments. In certain embodiments, the degrader antibody conjugates (DAC) of the invention include those with anti-cancer activity. The DAC selectively deliver an effective dose of a TPI- Sp-VHL drug to tumor tissue or hematopoietic cell, whereby greater selectivity (i.e., a lower efficacious dose) may be achieved while increasing the therapeutic index (“therapeutic 10 window”) relative to unconjugated TPI-Sp-VHL drug. Drug loading in Table 3 is represented as DAR, the number of Bcl-xL TPI-Sp-VHL moieties per antibody in an DAC of Formula I. Drug TPI-Sp-VHLloading may range from 1 to about 8 drug moieties (D) per antibody. DAC of Formula I include mixtures or collections of antibodies conjugated with a range of TPI-Sp-VHL drug moieties, from 1 to about 8. In some 15 embodiments, the number of TPI-Sp-VHL drug moieties that can be conjugated to an antibody is limited by the number of reactive or available amino acid side chain residues such as lysine and cysteine. In some embodiments, free cysteine residues are introduced into the antibody amino acid sequence by the methods described herein. In such aspects, p may be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, and ranges thereof, such as from 1 to 8 or from 2 to 5. Exemplary DAC of Formula I 20 include, but are not limited to, antibodies that have 1, 2, 3, or 4 engineered cysteine amino acids (Lyon, R. et al. (2012) Methods in Enzym.502:123-138). In some embodiments, one or more 143 15077.006WO2 free cysteine residues are already present in an antibody forming intra-chain and inter-chain disulfide bonds (native disulfide groups), without the use of engineering, in which case the existing free, reduced cysteine residues may be used to conjugate the antibody to a drug. In some embodiments, an antibody is exposed to reducing conditions prior to conjugation of the 5 antibody in order to generate one or more free cysteine residues. For some antibody conjugates, p may be limited by the number of attachment sites on the antibody. For example, where the attachment is a cysteine thiol, as in certain exemplary embodiments described herein, an antibody may have only one or a limited number of cysteine thiol groups, or may have only one or a limited number of sufficiently reactive thiol groups, to 10 which the drug may be attached. In other embodiments, one or more lysine amino groups in the antibody may be available and reactive for conjugation with a BXV-L compound of Formula III. In certain embodiments, higher drug loading, e.g. p >5, may cause aggregation, insolubility, toxicity, or loss of cellular permeability of certain antibody-drug conjugates. In certain embodiments, the average drug loading for an antibody conjugate ranges from 1 to about 8; 15 from about 2 to about 6; or from about 3 to about 5. In certain embodiments, an antibody is subjected to denaturing conditions to reveal reactive nucleophilic groups such as lysine or cysteine. The loading (drug / antibody ratio) of an antibody conjugate may be controlled in different ways, and for example, by: (i) limiting the molar excess of the BXV-L intermediate compound 20 relative to antibody, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, and (iii) partial or limiting reductive denaturing conditions for optimized antibody reactivity. It is to be understood that where more than one nucleophilic group of the antibody reacts with a BXV-L, then the resulting product is a mixture of antibody conjugate compounds with a distribution of one or more TPI-Sp-VHL drug moieties attached to an antibody. The average 25 number of drugs per antibody may be calculated from the mixture by a dual ELISA antibody assay, which is specific for antibody and specific for the drug. Individual DAC molecules may be identified in the mixture by mass spectroscopy and separated by HPLC, for example hydrophobic interaction chromatography, HIC (McDonagh et al. (2006) Prot. Engr. Design & Selection 19(7):299-307; Hamblett et al. (2004) Clin. Cancer Res.10:7063-7070; Hamblett, 30 K.J., et al. “Effect of drug loading on the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity of an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate,” Abstract No.624, American Association for Cancer Research, 2004 Annual Meeting, March 27-31, 2004, Proceedings of the AACR, Volume 45, March 2004; Alley, S.C., et al. “Controlling the location of drug attachment in antibody-drug conjugates,” Abstract No.627, American Association for Cancer Research, 2004 Annual 35 Meeting, March 27-31, 2004, Proceedings of the AACR, Volume 45, March 2004). In certain 144 15077.006WO2 embodiments, a homogeneous antibody conjugate with a single loading value may be isolated from the conjugation mixture by electrophoresis or chromatography. Exemplary embodiments of the degrader antibody conjugates (DAC) of Formula I are compiled in Table 3. DAC of Table 3 were prepared by the methods of Examples 101-103. 5 Assessment of DAC biological activity and other properties may be conducted according to the methods of Examples 104-107 and compiled in Table 5. In some instances, the Cell proliferation dose response IC50 value of Table 3 is an average of repetitive assays. Certain exemplary DAC were tested for their effects in inhibiting cellular proliferation and degradation of Bcl-xL protein. As shown in Table 5, certain Bcl-xL-VHL DAC exhibited very potent 10 degradation of Bcl-xL protein in cells (DC50, Dmax) and resulting in potent inhibition of cellular proliferation (IC50). The inhibition of cellular proliferation was increased with the addition of standard-of-care chemotherapy agent paclitaxel. The data demonstrates the potential use of Bcl-xL-VHL DAC, including combination therapy, in the treatment of cancer patients with tumors expressing the HER2 receptor and other tumor-associated antigens. 15 Table 3 Bcl-xL-VHL Degrader Antibody Conjugates (DAC-BXV) D 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 HER2 145 15077.006WO2 9 pertuzumab 8 BXVL-14 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 HER2 146 15077.006WO2 26 trastuzumab S375CE152C 4 BXVL-20 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 HER2 147 15077.006WO2 43 pertuzumab S375C V264C 4 BXVL-13 4 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 HER2 148 15077.006WO2 59 pertuzumab 6 BXVL-44 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 7 HER2 149 15077.006WO2 74 pertuzumab S239C S375C 4 BXVL-39 7 7 7 7 7 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 HER2 150 15077.006WO2 88 pertuzumab S239C S375C 4 BXV-L-40 8 9 9 9 PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS OF DEGRADER ANTIBODY CONJUGATES The invention provides a composition, e.g., a pharmaceutically or pharmacologically acceptable composition or formulation, comprising a Bcl-xL TPI-Sp-VHL degrader antibody 5 conjugate (DAC) composition of the invention as described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, vehicle, carrier or excipient. In an exemplary embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition comprises a mixture of the antibody conjugate DAC, wherein the average drug TPI-Sp-VHL loading per antibody in the mixture of antibody conjugate compounds is about 2 to about 8. A DAC of the invention can 10 have an average TPI-Sp-VHL to antibody ratio (DAR) of about 0.4 to about 10. A skilled artisan will recognize that the number of TPI-Sp-VHL moieties conjugated to the antibody may vary amongst DAC in a composition comprising multiple DAC of the invention and thus the DAR can be measured as an average which may be referred to as the drug to antibody ratio (DAR) which can be assessed by any suitable means, many of which are known in the art. The average 15 number of TPI-Sp-VHL moieties per antibody (DAR) in preparations of DAC from conjugation reactions may be characterized by conventional means such as mass spectrometry, ELISA assay, and HPLC. The quantitative distribution of DAC in a composition in terms of p may also be determined. In certain instances, separation, purification, and characterization of homogeneous DAC where p is a certain value from antibody drug conjugates (ADC) with other drug loadings 20 may be achieved by purification means such as reverse phase HPLC or electrophoresis. 151 15077.006WO2 A TPI-Sp-VHL degrader antibody conjugate (DAC) composition can be formulated for parenteral administration, such as intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular (IM), or intravenous (IV) injections, infusion, or administration into a body cavity or lumen of an organ. Alternatively, the DAC as a pharmaceutical composition can be injected into otherwise placed 5 into a specific site of the body, such as a tumor. Compositions for injection will commonly comprise a solution of the DAC dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water and an isotonic solution of one or more salts such as sodium chloride, e.g., Ringer's solution. In addition, sterile fixed oils can conventionally be employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland 10 fixed oil can be employed, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid can likewise be used in the preparation of injectables. These pharmaceutical compositions desirably are sterile and generally free of undesirable matter. These pharmaceutical compositions can be made sterilized by conventional, well known sterilization techniques. The pharmaceutical compositions can contain pharmaceutically 15 acceptable auxiliary substances as required to approximate physiological conditions such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, toxicity adjusting agents, e.g., sodium acetate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium lactate and the like. The pharmaceutical composition may contain any suitable concentration of the DAC . The concentration of the DAC in the pharmaceutical composition can vary widely, and will be 20 selected primarily based on fluid volumes, viscosities, body weight, and the like, in accordance with the particular mode of administration selected and the patient's needs. In certain embodiments, the concentration of DAC in a solution formulation for injection will range from about 0.1% (w / w) to about 10% (w / w). METHODS OF TREATING CANCER WITH DEGRADER ANTIBODY CONJUGATES 25 By inducing target-specific degradation of tumor-associated proteins and conferring specificity to minimize off-target toxicity effects, the TPI-Sp-VHL antibody conjugate (DAC) compositions of the invention may be useful in the treatment of diseases and disorders such as cancer. The DAC direct a tumor-associated antigen-binding antibody to a cell that expresses the antigen and deliver a protein-degrading moiety to the target cell. A target protein such as RIPK2, 30 KRAS, Bcl-xL, or WEE1 is ubiquitinated and subsequently degraded. The invention provides a method for treating cancer with a pharmaceutical composition of the DAC. The method includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody conjugate composition as described herein to a subject in need thereof, such as a 152 15077.006WO2 patient that has cancer and is in need of treatment for the cancer. The method includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of an DAC selected from Table 3. In certain embodiments, the DAC include those with anticancer activity (Figures 1-4). The DAC selectively delivers an effective dose of an active form of the TPI-Sp-VHL protein 5 target degrader moiety to tumor tissue, whereby greater selectivity (i.e., a lower efficacious dose) may be achieved while increasing the therapeutic index (“therapeutic window”) relative to an unconjugated protein target degrader compound. It is contemplated that the DAC may be used to treat various hyperproliferative diseases or disorders, e.g. characterized by the overexpression of a tumor antigen. Exemplary 10 hyperproliferative disorders include benign or malignant solid tumors and hematological disorders such as leukemia and lymphoid malignancies. Examples of cancer to be treated herein include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, leukemia or lymphoid malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia, squamous cell cancer, epithelial squamous cell cancer, lung cancer including small- 15 cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma of the lung and squamous carcinoma of the lung, cancer of the peritoneum, hepatocellular cancer, gastric or stomach cancer including gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, hepatoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial or uterine carcinoma, salivary gland carcinoma, kidney or renal 20 cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, thyroid cancer, hepatic carcinoma, anal carcinoma, penile carcinoma, and head and neck cancer. In some embodiments, the DAC may be useful in therapy to treat solid tumors such as lung cancer; non-small cell lung cancer, squamous cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and neuroendocrine cancers such as neuroendocrine prostate cancer, castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) and lung 25 neuroendocrine tumors. In some embodiments, the DAC may be useful in therapy to treat blood-borne hematological cancers such as leukemias; acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelomas; multiple myeloma (MM). In another aspect, an DAC for use as a medicament is provided. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an DAC for use in a method of treating an individual comprising 30 administering to the individual an effective amount of the antibody conjugate composition in a pharmaceutical composition. In one such embodiment, the method further comprises administering to the individual an effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent, e.g., as described herein. In a further aspect, the invention provides for the use of an DAC in the manufacture or 35 preparation of a medicament. In one embodiment, the medicament is for treatment of cancer, the 153 15077.006WO2 method comprising administering to an individual having cancer an effective amount of the medicament. In one such embodiment, the method further comprises administering to the individual an effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent, e.g., as described herein. 5 Dosing can be by any suitable route, e.g. by injections, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic. Various dosing schedules including but not limited to single or multiple administrations over various time-points, bolus administration, and pulse infusion are contemplated herein. The DAC dose can range from about 5 mg / kg (body weight) to about 50 mg / kg, from about 10 µg / kg to 10 about 5 mg / kg, or from about 100 µg / kg to about 1 mg / kg. The DAC dose can be about 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 µg / kg. The DAC dose can be about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 mg / kg. The DAC dose can also be outside of these ranges, depending on the particular conjugate as well as the type and severity of the cancer or disorder being treated. Frequency of administration can range from a single dose to multiple doses per week, or more frequently. In some embodiments, 15 the DAC is administered from about once per month to about five times per week. In some embodiments, the DAC is administered once per week. The DAC can be used either alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents in a therapy regimen. DAC may be administered concurrently in a regimen with one or more other drugs during the same treatment cycle, on the same day of treatment as the one or more other 20 drugs, and, optionally, at the same time as the one or more other drugs. For instance, for cancer therapies given every 3 weeks, the concurrently administered drugs are each administered on day-1 of a 3-week cycle. For instance, an DAC may be co-administered with at least one additional therapeutic agent, such as a chemotherapeutic agent. Such combination therapies encompass combined administration (where two or more therapeutic agents are included in the 25 same or separate formulations), and separate administration, in which case, administration of the DAC can occur prior to, simultaneously, and / or following, administration of the additional therapeutic agent. DAC can also be used in combination with radiation therapy.
