Abstract
Description
[0001] ANTI-HUMAN ROR1 ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATE AND USES THEREOF
[0002] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0003] The application is based on and claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Application No. 202411030454.3, filed on July 30, 2024, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0004] TECHNICAL FIELD
[0005] The application relates to the biopharmaceutical field, and particularly to an antibody-drug conjugate formed with an anti-human ROR1 antibody and a drug having cell killing effect, and a preparation method and application of the antibody-drug conjugate.
[0006] BACKGROUND
[0007] R0R1 (receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1) is a type I transmembrane protein belonging to RTKs (receptor tyrosine kinases). The ROR1 has a similar structure to members of the RTKs, which contains a cytoplasmic domain having tyrosine kinase activity, a single transmembrane hydrophobic a-helical region and an extracellular domain capable of binding a ligand. The cytoplasmic domain of ROR1 can be divided into 4 domains: a tyrosine kinase-like domain, two serine / threonine-rich domains and a proline-rich domain. The extracellular domain of ROR1 is further divided into three domains: an immunoglobulin-like domain (Ig-Like), a Frizzled domain (FZD), and a Kringle domain (KD). Among these, the FZD contains a site of binding to Wnt5a, thereby recognizing the Wnt5a and participating in the regulation of non- classical Wnt signals; the KD mediates the interaction of ROR1 with other receptors, e.g., ROR2.
[0008] ROR1 plays an important role in the regulation of physiological processes such as cell division, proliferation and migration, by mediating the signal transduction in the Wnt signaling pathway. R0R1 is highly expressed during embryonic and infant development stages with a high level of stem cells, the expression level of ROR1 gradually decreases as organism individuals grow and develop, and it is almost undetectable on the cell surface of normal tissues in the children and adult stages. With research, it has been found that although it is not demonstrated whether the ROR1 is directly functionally associated with the occurrence of tumors, the expression of ROR1 is significantly increased in a variety of hematologic cancers and solid tumors. For example, high levels of ROR1 expression have been detected in hematologic cancers such as B cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), lymphoma and myeloid hematologic cancer, and various solid tumors such as kidney cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer and skin cancer, which indicates that the ROR1 promises to be a new target with broad-spectrum anticancer potential.
[0009] At present, there are a variety of development directions for drugs targeting ROR1, including small molecule inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, ADCs and the like, wherein monoclonal antibody drugs and ADC drugs have shown faster progress and have achieved significant therapeutic effects. The ROR1 monoclonal antibody drug Cirmtuzumab developed by Onternal Company competitively binds to the FZD domain of the extracellular domain of ROR1 with Wnt5a, thereby blocking the non-classical Wnt signaling pathway and inhibiting growth and metastasis of cancers. CS5001 (formerly LCB 71) developed by a Korean biotechnology company, LegoChem Biosciences through utilizing a prodrug ADC technology (pPBD), has a masking moiety of PBD toxin, which is not toxic in normal tissues, and when the CS5001 is endocytosed by tumor cells, the masking moiety is degraded under enzyme action so that the toxicity of the toxin is restored, to kill tumor cells. Now, CS5001 has entered the clinical stage I. NBE-002 is an ADC drug developed by NBE-Therapeutics and it consists of a humanized antibody and an anthracycline derivative, which shows significant antitumor activity in patient-derived xenograft models of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung adenocarcinoma and sarcoma. Currently, research on the NBE-002 against triple-negative breast cancer, lung cancer and ovarian cancer is in the clinical stage I. The ADC drug VLS-101 developed by Velosbio Company is connected to an MMAE toxin via a degradable linker, and the results of clinical stage I show that the VLS-101 has good treatment prospects, and currently, it has entered the clinical stage II, being an ADC drug targeting R0R1 with fastest progress.
[0010] Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) is a targeting technology that utilizes a linker to bind a toxin or drug to an antibody. When the antibody recognizes the antigen, the ADC molecule is endocytosed by cells, and then it releases the toxin or drug in the cells, resulting in the death of the cells. As compared with antibody drugs, the ADC technology has higher cell killing capability, and as compared with traditional anticancer drugs, it enhances the targeting property so as to greatly reduce toxic and side effects. Focusing on the development of ADC drugs is therefore a powerful approach to enhance tumor therapy. New ADC drugs also need to be developed.

[0155] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0156] Abbreviations and definitions
[0157] Unless otherwise indicated, the following terms and phrases as used herein are intended to have the following meanings. When brand names are used herein, the brand names, unless otherwise indicated in the context, include the product formulations, the general drugs and the active ingredients of products with the brand names.
[0158] Unless otherwise indicated, the terms used in the claims and specification herein have the following meanings.
[0159] The term “ligand” is a macromolecular compound capable of identifying and binding to an antigen or receptor associated with a target cell. The ligand functions to present a drug to a target cell population binding to the ligand, including, but not being limited to, protein hormone, lectin, growth factor, antibody, or other molecules capable of binding to cells. In an embodiment of the application, the ligand, expressed as Ab, may form a linking bond with a linking unit through a heteroatom in the ligand, preferably is an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, which is selected from the group consisting of a chimeric antibody, a humanized antibody, fully human antibody and a mouse antibody, preferably a monoclonal antibody.
[0160] In the application, the ligand unit is a targeting agent that specifically binds to a target. The ligand can specifically bind to a cell component or to other target molecules of interest. The target part or the target is usually on the surface of the cell. In some aspects, the ligand unit functions to deliver a drug unit to a specific target cell population interacting with the ligand unit. The ligands include, but are not limited to, proteins, polypeptides and peptides, as well as non-proteins such as sugars. Suitable ligand units include, for example, antibodies such as full-length (intact) antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof. In embodiments where the ligand unit is a nonantibody targeting agent, the ligand may be a peptide or a polypeptide, or a non-proteinaceous molecule. Examples of such targeting agents include interferons, lymphokines, hormones, growth factors and colony stimulating factors, vitamins, nutrient transport molecules, or any other cell binding molecules or substances. In some embodiments, a linker is covalently linked to the sulfur atom of the ligand. In one aspect, the sulfur atom is a sulfur atom of a cysteine residue, which forms an interchain disulfide bond of the antibody. In another aspect, the sulfur atom is a sulfur atom of a cysteine residue which has been introduced into the ligand unit, which forms an interchain disulfide bond of the antibody. In another aspect, the sulfur atom is a sulfur atom of a cysteine residue that has been introduced into the ligand unit e.g., by site-directed mutagenesis or chemical reaction. In other aspects, the sulfur atom linked to the linker is selected from a cysteine residue that forms an interchain disulfide bond of the antibody and a cysteine residue that has been introduced into the ligand unit (e.g., by site-directed mutagenesis or chemical reaction). In some embodiments, numbering is performed according to the EU index numbering system in Kabat {[Kabat E.A et al, (1991)], Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, fifth edition, NIH publication 91-3242}.
[0161] The “antibody” or “antibody unit” includes within the scope thereof any one part of an antibody structure. This unit may bind, reactively associate, or complex with a receptor, an antigen or other receptor units possessed by the targeted cell population. The antibody may be any protein or proteinaceous molecule, which can bind, complex, or react with a part of the cell population to be treated or to be biologically modified. The antibody constituting the antibody-drug conjugate in the application retain its antigen-binding ability in the originally wild state. Thus, the antibody of the application can specifically bind to an antigen. Involved antigens include, for example, tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), cell surface receptor proteins and other cell surface molecules, cell survival regulatory factors, cell proliferation regulatory factors, molecules associated with tissue growth and differentiation (e.g., known or foreseen to be functional), lymphokines, cytokines, molecules involved in the regulation of cell circulation, molecules involved in angiogenesis, and molecules associated with angiogenesis (e.g., known or foreseen to be functional). The tumor-associated factor may be a cluster of differentiation factor (e g., a CD protein).
[0162] Antibodies used in the antibody drug conjugates include, but are not limited to, antibodies against cell surface receptors and tumor-associated antigens. Such tumor-associated antigens are well known in the art and can be prepared by well-known methods and information for preparing antibodies in the art. In order to develop effective cell-level targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment, researchers seek to find transmembrane or other tumor-associated polypeptides. These targets can be specifically expressed on the surface of one or more cancer cells, but less expressed or not expressed on the surface of one or more non-cancer cells. In general, such tumor-associated polypeptides are more overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells than on the surface of noncancer cells. The identification of the tumor-associated factors can greatly improve the specific targeting characteristic of the antibody-based cancer treatment. For convenience, information related to antigens well known in the art is indicated below, including name, other names, and GenBank accession numbers. Nucleic acid and protein sequences correspondent to the tumor- associated antigens can refer to public databases, such as Genbank. The tumor-associated antigens to which the antibody targets include all variants and congeners of amino acid sequences, having a homology of at least 70%, 80%, 85%, 90% or 95% to the sequences identified in the references, or having biological properties and characteristics completely consistent to the sequences of the tumor-associated antigen in the references.
[0163] The term “inhibit” or “inhibition of’ refers to reducing detectable amount, or completely preventing.
[0164] The term “cancer” refers to the physiological condition or disease characterized by unregulated cell growth. A “tumor” comprises cancerous cells.
[0165] The term “autoimmune disease” is a disease or disorder derived from tissues or proteins of an individual itself.
[0166] The term “drug” refers to a cytotoxic drug, expressed as “d”, being a chemical molecule which, in tumor cells, has a strong ability to destroy normal growth of the tumor cells. The cytotoxic drug can kill tumor cells in principle at a sufficiently high concentration, but due to a lack of the specificity, they will lead to the apoptosis of normal cells while killing tumor cells, resulting in serious side effects. The term includes toxins such as small molecule toxins or enzymatically active toxins which are derived from bacterium, fungus, plant or animal, radioisotopes (e.g., radioactive isotopes of At211, 1131, 1125, Y90, Re186, Re188, Sm153, Bi212, P32and Lu176), toxic drugs, chemotherapeutic drugs, antibiotics and nucleolytic enzymes, preferably toxic drugs. In the application, the term “linker” or “linking fragment” or “linking unit” refers to a chemical structural fragment or bond of which one end is linked to a ligand and the other end is linked to a drug directly or by other linkers.
[0167] The linker, including an extender, a spacer and an amino acid unit, can be synthesized by methods known in the art, for example those described in US2005-0238649A1. The linker may be a “cleavable linker” that facilitates the release of drugs in cells. For example, acid-labile linkers (e.g., hydrazones), protease sensitive (e.g., peptidase-sensitive) linkers, photo-labile linkers, dimethyl linkers, or disulfide-containing linkers can be used (Chari et al, Cancer Research 52: 127-131, 1992; U.S. patent No.5, 208, 020.
[0168] As used herein, the “linker” or the “linker of an antibody-drug conjugate” can be classified into two classes: non-cleavable linkers and cleavable linkers, according to the mechanisms of drug release in cells. As to the antibody-drug conjugate containing a non-cleavable linker, its drug release mechanism is that after the conjugate binds to an antigen and endocytosed by cells, the antibody is enzymolyzed in lysosomes, to release active molecules consisting of a small-molecule drug, a linker and antibody amino acid residues together. The resulted structural changes in the drug molecule do not reduce its cytotoxicity, but because the active molecules are charged (amino acid residues), they cannot permeate into neighboring cells. Thus, such active drugs cannot kill neighboring tumor cells that do not express the target antigen (antigen negative cells) (bystander effect) (Ducry et al, 2010, Bioconjugate Chem. 21: 5-13). As to the antibody-drug conjugate containing a cleavable linker, its drug release mechanism is that after the conjugate binds to an antigen and endocytosed by cells, it is cleaved in the target cells and releases the active ingredient (the small molecule drug itself). The cleavable linkers are mainly divided into: chemosensitive linkers and enzyme sensitive linkers. The chemosensitive linkers can be selectively cleaved due to differences in the nature of plasma and cytoplasmic or tumor microenvironment, such as pH, and glutathione concentration. The pH sensitive linkers, such as hydrazones, carbonates, acetals, and ketals, are relatively stable in neutral or weakly alkaline environment of blood (pH 7.3-7.5), but will be hydrolyzed in weakly acidic tumor microenvironment (pH of 5.0-6.5) and in lysosomes (pH of 4.5-5.0). Since the acid-cleavable linkers have very limited plasma stability, the antibodydrug conjugates based on such linkers usually have a short half-life (2-3 days). This short half-life limits the use of the pH sensitive linkers in the new generation of antibody-drug conjugates to some extent. Linkers sensitive to glutathione are also called as disulfide linkers. The release of drug is caused based on the difference between high glutathione concentrations (millimolar range) in cells and relatively low glutathione concentrations in blood (micromolar range). This is especially true for a tumor cell, where its low oxygen content leads to an enhanced activity of the reductase, thereby resulting in a higher glutathione concentration. The disulfide bond has a thermodynamical stability, and thus it can have a good stability in plasma. The enzyme labile linkers, e.g., a peptide linker, can better control drug release. The peptide linkers can be efficiently cleaved by a protease in the lysosomes, e.g., cathepsin B. This peptide linkage is considered to be very stable in the plasma circulation due to the unsuitable extracellular pH value and the extracellular inactivity of protease caused by serum protease inhibitors. In view of a high plasma stability and good selectivity and efficiency of intracellular cleavage, the enzyme labile linkers are widely used as cleavable linkers for antibody-drug conjugates.
[0169] The term “antibody-drug conjugate” refers to linking an antibody to a biologically active drug via a stable linking unit. In the application, the “ligand-drug conjugate” is preferably an antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which refers to linking a monoclonal antibody or an antibody fragment to a biologically active toxic drug via a stable linking unit.

[0722] Example 91. Expression and purification of antibody
[0723] An antibody (13C 1 , 13C9 or NBE-002) was expressed by using Expi293 suspension cells (Shanghai OPM Biosciences Co., Ltd ). On the day before transfection, the cells were seeded in a shake flask containing OPM-293 CD05 Medium (81075-001, Shanghai OPM Biosciences Co., Ltd.) at a density of about 0.9* 106 / mL and cultured overnight under the conditions of 37 °C, 5% CO2 and 120 rpm in a cell culture shaker. On the next day, the transfection of antibody-expressed plasmid was performed with PEI-MAX, wherein the mass ratio of plasmid to PEI-MAX was 1:3. On the first day after the transfection, OPM-293 Profeed (Shanghai OPM Biosciences Co., Ltd.) was added at 5% (v / v), on the third day after the transfection, OPM-293 Profeed was added again at 5% (v / v), and on the sixth day after the transfection, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation.
[0724] The collected cell-expressed supernatant passed through a Protein A affinity chromatography column (UniMab 50, Suzhou NanoMicro Tech Co., Ltd.) and eluted with 0.05 M sodium acetate (pH3.6). The captured antibody was adjusted to pH7.0 with 1 M Tris-HCl (pH8.8), and impurities, such as multimers, were removed by passing through a gel filtration chromatography column SEC (Superdex 200, GE Company). Antibodies 13C1, 13C9 (i.e., VLS-101 antibody) and NBE-002 were obtained, and their sequence information was shown below:
[0725] Example 92. General Preparation of Antibody-Drug Conjugates
[0726] The antibody prepared in Example 91 was replaced with 20 mM of a NaAc-HAc, pH6.0 buffer, and the antibody was concentrated or diluted to a protein concentration of 5 mg / mL. The linker-payloads prepared in Examples 1-90 were dissolved with N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) to 10 mg / mL, and set aside for use
[0727] To open the interchain disulfide bonds of the antibody, tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) was first added in a molecular ratio of 15 to 25 times, and at room temperature, the resulting mixture was reacted for 2 h. A linker-payload solution was added in a molecular ratio of 15 to 25 times, and at room temperature, the resulting mixture was reacted for 2 h. After the reactions were completed, unconjugated linker-payload was removed by using a 30 KDa ultrafiltration centrifugal tube, to obtain an antibody-dmg conjugate sample.
[0728] ADC-1 to ADC-106 of the following examples were prepared and obtained by conjugating the compounds (linker-payload, linker-drug) prepared in the examples of the application to Antibody 13C1, with reference to this preparation method, in which the sum of nl, n2 and n3 represents the drug to antibody ratio (DAR) of the ADC.
[0729] Moreover, it should be noted that when the ADC of the application is prepared, the compound (linker-drug) in the ADC is easy to interact with water molecules under the condition of easy hydrolysis when it is conjugated to the antibody, and a hydrolytic ring-opening reaction occurs, and the hydrolysis site is at the maleimide. When multiple linker-drugs are conjugated to the antibody, depending on different hydrolysis degrees, the following cases may occur: (1) the maleimides are not hydrolyzed, i.e., each maleimide is in a closed-ring form o ; (2) the maleimides are not completely hydrolyzed, i.e., a part of the maleimides are in a ring-closed form o , and another part of the maleimides are in a ring-opening form the maleimides are fully hydrolyzed, i.e. all the maleimides are in the ring-opening form or . Hence, in the ADCs prepared in the following examples, nl, n2, n3 are not 0 at the same time, and the sum of nl, n2 and n3 represents the DAR, the specific value of which is determined in Example 202. Meanwhile, those skilled in the art would understand that, as described above, the number of the linker-drugs conjugated to each antibody may be either the same or different, and therefore, the average number of the linker-drugs conjugated to each antibody may be either an integer or a decimal. Accordingly, when the linker-drugs are conjugated to the antibody, the maleimide may be hydrolyzed under the condition of easy hydrolysis, and the hydrolysis degrees may be either the same or different, therefore, nl, n2, and n3 may be either integers or decimals.

[0959] Table 4: Determination results of drug to antibody rate (DAR) of ADC
[0960] The Determination results of drug to antibody rate (DAR) of the ligand-drug conjugates (ADC) disclosed in the application were shown in Table 2 and FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C. The results showed that in the same feed ratio of antibody and linker-payload, the ADCs (such as ADC-6) prepared in the application had a higher DAR value as compared to the control ADC, and the drug concentration at the target site would be significantly improved under the same administration dose of the ADC drugs.
[0961] Example 203 : Plasma stability data of ADC
[0962] A mixed solution of ADC and IgG-depleted plasma was formulated to make the final concentration of the ADC be 0.6 mg / mL, and incubated in a water bath in a 37 °C incubator. The incubation time was set to be 0 day, 3 days, and 7 days, and a non-incubated plasma was set as a control. After incubation, samples were purified and extracted for determination of the drug to antibody ratio (DAR) to evaluate the stability of the ADC in plasma.
[0963] Table 5: Plasma stability data of ADC drugs in the application
[0964] Note: “Without incubation and extraction” corresponds to the DAR values of the ADC which was placed stably 4 °C for 0 day; “Incubation with plasma for 0 day” corresponds to the DAR values determined after the purification and extraction step which was started immediately after the ADC was added into the plasma; “Incubation with plasma for 3 days” corresponds to the DAR values determined after the purification and extraction step which was started after the ADC was added into the plasma at 37 °C for 3 days; “Incubation with plasma for 7 days” corresponds to the DAR values determined after the purification and extraction step which was started after the ADC was added into the plasma at 37 °C for 7 days.
[0965] The determination results of plasma stability of the ADCs were shown in Table 5, and the results showed that the ADCs (e.g., ADC-6) as disclosed in the application exhibited excellent plasma stability, and not show a great change in the DAR value.
[0966] Example 204: Relative affinity data of ADC
[0967] The ADC-6 retained the affinity of the corresponding original anti-human ROR1 antibody 13C1 to R0R1. The relative affinities of Antibody 13C1 and the ADC-6, Antibody 13C9 and the ADC-107, and Antibody NBE-002 and the ADC-108 to the R0R1 were compared by an ELISA method.
[0968] The method for detecting the relative binding activity of R0R1 comprises the following specific steps:
[0969] The antigen was adjusted to an appropriate concentration with PBS and added into an ELISA plate, and incubated overnight at 4 °C for coating. After coating, the plate was washed and blocked at 37 °C for 1 h. After blocking, the plate was washed, and the test sample was gradiently diluted acording to an appropriate concentration and added to the blocked ELISA plate for incubation. The rabbit anti-human antibody was diluted to an appropriate concentration with a buffer, and added to the plate for incubation. Then a chromogenic solution was added and reacted for 7 minutes, a stop solution was added thereto to terminate the reaction. The plate was read at 450 nm, a four-parameter logistic fit on the results were performed, EC50 values were calculated, to further obtain the results of relative binding activity.
[0970] Table 6: Relative affinity of ADC molecules to antibody
[0971] As shown in FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C, the affinity of the ADC after conjugation remained similar to that of the corresponding antibody, with no significant difference in EC50 values, and the corresponding P values ranged from 50% to 150%, indicating that the conjugation of the toxin to the antibody did not significantly affect the affinity of the antibody to the antigen.
[0972] Example 205 In Vitro Efficacy Tests
[0973] Various human tumor cell lines RPML8226, NCI-N87, MDA-MB-468, and JVM-3 were used as in vitro cell models to evaluate the killing effects of bioactive molecules antibody drug conjugates (ADC) on in vitro tumor cells. A certain number of tumor cells were seeded into a 96- well culture plate. After the cells adhere to the wall, gradient-diluted test samples were added into the well plate with an initial concentration of the antibody or ADC of 500 nM and a 7-fold dilution for a total of 8 test concentrations, with three replicates of each test concentration. The sample was incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 5 days, and the cell viability was detected by using MTS. The cell viability was calculated using the formula: Cell viability = (Test group - blank group) / (Negative control group - blank group)* 100%, and Graph Pad Prism 9.0 statistical software was used to fit the curve by means of a four-parameter model, with the X axis as the molar concentration (nM) of the tested sample and the Y axis as the cell viability (%), then the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of the tested samples were calculated to evaluate the killing activity of the tested samples on in-vitro tumor cell.
