ATTORNEY DOCKET NO. VRD-021BWO1ANTI-HSA ANTIBODY FUSIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOFCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 702,592, filed October 2, 2024, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 719,077, filed November 11, 2024, the disclosure of each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND
[0002] Human serum albumin (HSA), produced by the liver, is the most abundant plasma protein with high solubility, high stability, and a long circulatory half-life. HSA has several functions, including acting as a drug transport protein and carrier for many metabolites and fatty acids. HSA can also be used to improve the half-life of therapeutic proteins.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present disclosure provides, among other things, fusion proteins comprising an Fc region fused to a single domain antibody (sdAb) that binds to human serum albumin (HSA). Such fusion proteins comprising the anti-HSA sdAbs and therapeutic uses of such fusion proteins are effective in treating IgG autoantibody-mediated disease. As described herein, the present invention is, in part, based on the discovery that the anti-HSA sdAbs described herein, when fused to a therapeutic protein such as an Fc region that binds to FcRn, can significantly improve both the durability of the therapeutic protein and its magnitude of effect without affecting serum albumin levels. This is particularly important as low albumin levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and drug toxicity. Thus, the disclosure provides Fc fusions comprising anti-HSA sdAbs, which anti-HSA sdAbs can increase therapeutic potential of fusion partners without harmful side effects. Moreover, these anti- HSA sdAbs described herein exhibit desirable characteristics that facilitate high yield production, cost-efficient purification, and improved stability.

[0225] The present invention provides, among other things, single domain antibodies (sdAbs) that bind to human serum albumin (HSA) with high affinity. In some embodiments, the anti-HSA sdAbs described herein are fused to therapeutic proteins. In some embodiments, the anti-HSA sdAbs are fused to an Fc region. The anti-HSA sdAbs of the present invention prolong the serum half-life and increase the magnitude of effect of fusion partners without affecting serum albumin levels, effectively improving the therapeutic potential of the fusion partner without causing side effects.A. Human Serum Albumin (HSA)
[0226] Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in plasma and has several functions. HSA plays a role in maintaining osmotic pressure in blood vessels and plasma pH, but it also serves as a drug transport protein and carrier for many metabolites and fatty acids. Further, HSA has a serum half-life of approximately 3 -weeks, and association with therapeutic proteins has shown to significantly improve their serum half-life.
[0227] Described herein are anti-HSA single domain antibodies (sdAbs) that bind and recruit albumin to a fusion protein. The anti-HSA sdAbs are significantly smaller than albumin, which comprises 585 amino acids, and offer an alternative to direct conjugation of albumin to the therapeutic protein.B. Anti-HSA Antibodies
[0228] In one aspect, the present invention provides, among other things, single domain antibodies that bind to HSA. In some embodiments, the present invention provides albumin binding domains that can be adapted to various antibody formats.
[0229] A traditional antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin, is a Y-shaped structuring consisting of four polypeptides, two heavy chains and two light chains. The light chain consists of one variable region (VL) and one constant region (CL). The heavy chain consists of one variable region (VH) and at least three constant regions (CHI, CH2, CH3).ATTORNEY DOCKET NO. VRD-021BWO1The two light and two heavy chains are joined by disulfide bonds in the Y-shaped structure, with the light chains bracketing the heavy chains at the mouth of the Y-shape and continuing through the variable region. The variable regions determine the binding specificity of the antibody. Each variable region contains three hypervariable regions known as complementarity determining regions (CDRs) flanked by four relatively conserved regions known as framework regions (FRs). The three CDRs, referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, contribute to the antibody binding specificity. Naturally occurring antibodies have often been used as starting material for engineered antibodies, such as chimeric antibodies and humanized antibodies. Examples of antibody-based antigen binding fragments include Fab, Fab’, (Fab’)2, Fv, single chain antibodies (e.g., scFv), minibodies, and diabodies. Examples of antibodies that have been modified or engineered include chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, and multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies).
[0230] Similarly, an anti-HSA sdAb described herein may be used in engineered antibodies or antibody-based antigen binding fragments. In some embodiments, the present invention provides, among other things, an anti-HSA antibody. In some embodiments, the present invention provides, among other things, an anti-HSA Fab. In some embodiments, the present invention provides, among other things, an anti-HSA Fab’. In some embodiments, the present invention provides, among other things, an anti-HSA (Fab’)2.
