Abstract
Description
A pharmaceutical composition of an anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugate and its application Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure pertains to the pharmaceutical field and specifically relates to pharmaceutical compositions of anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugates and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] ROR1 (Receptor tyrosine kinase-like Orphan Receptor 1) is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) superfamily. Researchers initially discovered ROR1 during nervous system development, but its expression level is low in normal adult tissues. However, studies have found that ROR1 is highly expressed in various malignant tumors and is closely associated with tumor invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis.
[0003] The ROR1 protein comprises an extracellular region (containing an immunoglobulin-like domain, a cysteine-rich domain, and a Kringle domain), a transmembrane region, and an intracellular region (containing a tyrosine kinase domain and a proline-rich domain). This unique structure enables ROR1 to participate in the regulation of multiple cellular signaling pathways.
[0004] Researchers have found high expression of ROR1 in various cancers, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), breast cancer, lung cancer, and ovarian cancer. Studies have shown that ROR1 promotes tumor cell proliferation, survival, and metastasis by activating multiple downstream signaling pathways, such as the PI3K / AKT, MAPK, and Wnt signaling pathways.
[0005] Of particular note is the high expression level of ROR1 in tumor stem cells, suggesting that ROR1 may play a crucial role in tumor self-renewal and drug resistance. Furthermore, researchers found that ROR1 is involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in tumor cells, a key mechanism of tumor metastasis.
[0006] Because ROR1 is expressed at low levels in normal adult tissues but highly in various tumors, it has become a highly attractive anti-tumor target. Currently, researchers are developing various therapeutic strategies targeting ROR1, including monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy.
[0007] However, the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) faces stability challenges. ADCs can undergo various chemical and physical degradations, particularly the higher-order structures of the antibody moiety, which are prone to denaturation, aggregation, and precipitation. These unstable products can affect the safety and efficacy of the drug. Researchers consider polymer formation a critical quality attribute (CQA) for biopharmaceutical safety, directly impacting the safety of anti-ROR1 ADCs. Obtaining high-purity products during manufacturing is crucial, as is ensuring structural stability during transportation, storage, and use, which is especially important for patients requiring long-term use of anti-ROR1 ADCs.
[0008] Therefore, it remains essential to develop a novel anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugate formulation to improve its stability, thereby enhancing the uniformity and consistency of product quality and improving its stability in use. Summary of the Invention

[0275] The term “comprising” encompasses both the meaning of “including” and “consisting of”. For example, a composition that “comprising” X may consist of only X or may include other components, such as X+Y.
[0276] The singular forms “a” and “an” used in the specification and claims include the corresponding plural references, unless otherwise clearly stated in the content.
[0277] “Composition” means a mixture containing one or more of the anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein, along with other chemical components, such as physiological / pharmaceutical-grade carriers and excipients. The purpose of a pharmaceutical composition is to facilitate administration to a living organism, thereby promoting the absorption of the active ingredient and the exertment of its biological activity. In this disclosure, “pharmaceutical composition,” “composition,” “formulation,” and “prescription” are used interchangeably. Unless otherwise specified, the solvent in the solution form of the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein is water.
[0278] "Buffer" refers to a substance that is resistant to pH changes through the action of its acid-base conjugate components. Suitable buffering agents for use in the compositions disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, citrate-sodium citrate buffers or citrate buffers.
[0279] "Stabilizer" refers to a substance that can increase the stability of a pharmaceutical composition. Stabilizers help prevent the oxidation and aggregation of proteins in pharmaceutical compositions, especially liquid pharmaceutical compositions. Typical stabilizers used in this disclosure include, but are not limited to, sugars, including, but not limited to, monosaccharides such as fructose, maltose, galactose, glucose, D-mannose, sorbitol, etc.; disaccharides such as lactose, sucrose, trehalose, cellobiose, etc.; polysaccharides such as raffinose, mesotriose, maltodextrin, dextran, starch, etc.; and sugar alcohols such as mannitol, xylitol, maltitol, lactitol, xylitol, sorbitol (glucosol), etc. Sugars can be sugar alcohols or amino sugars.

Therefore, the sugar is preferably a non-reducing sugar, such as sucrose, trehalose, raffinose, sorbitol, and mannitol, more preferably sucrose.
[0280] Surfactants suitable for the compositions disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, nonionic surfactants, ionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and combinations thereof. Typical surfactants used in this disclosure include, but are not limited to, sorbitan fatty acid esters (e.g., sorbitan monocaprylate, sorbitan monolaurate, sorbitan monopalmitate), sorbitan trioleate, glycerol fatty acid esters (e.g., glycerol monocaprylate, glycerol monomyristate, glycerol monostearate), polyglycerol fatty acid esters (e.g., decaglyceryl monostearate, decaglyceryl distearate, decaglyceryl monolinoleate), and polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostea ...

The composition may contain: stearamide; C10-C18 alkyl sulfates (e.g., sodium cetyl sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium oleyl sulfate), polyoxyethylene C10-C18 alkyl ether sulfates (e.g., polyoxyethylene sodium lauryl sulfate) having an average addition of 2 to 4 moles of ethylene oxide units, and C1-C18 alkyl sulfosuccinates (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfosuccinate); and natural surfactants such as lecithin, glycerophospholipids, sphingomyelin (e.g., sphingomyelin), and sucrose esters of C12-C18 fatty acids. The composition may contain one or more of these surfactants. Preferred surfactants are polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, such as polysorbate 20, 40, 60, or 80. Polysorbate 20 or 80 (e.g., at a concentration of about 0.2 mg / mL) is particularly suitable.
[0281] As used herein, the terms “about” or “approximately” mean a numerical value within an acceptable margin of error for a specific value determined by a person skilled in the art, the numerical value depending in part on how it is measured or determined (i.e., the limits of the measurement system). For example, in every practice in the art, “about” may mean within or greater than 1 standard deviation. Alternatively, “about” or “substantially comprises” may mean a range of up to ±20%, for example, about 5.5 pH means pH 5.5 ± 1.1. Furthermore, particularly for biological systems or processes, the term may mean up to an order of magnitude or up to 5 times the numerical value. Unless otherwise stated, when a specific value appears in this application and claims, the meaning of “about” or “substantially comprises” should be assumed to be within an acceptable margin of error for that specific value.
[0282] The term "antibody" is used in the broadest sense and encompasses a wide range of antibody structures, including but not limited to monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, full-length antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments, as long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. Typically, natural IgG antibodies are heterotetrameric proteins composed of two light chains and two heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds. From the N to C terminus, each heavy chain has one variable region (VH) and three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). From the N to C terminus, each light chain has one variable region (VL) and one constant light domain (CL). The specific meaning of "antibody" can be determined by a person skilled in the art based on the context.
[0283] An "antibody fragment" or "antigen-binding fragment" is different from a complete antibody molecule, but contains a portion of the complete antibody that retains the antigen-binding ability of the complete antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fv, Fab, Fab', Fab'-SH, F(ab')2, single-domain antibodies, single-chain Fab (scFab), biantibodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibodies (e.g., scFv); and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
[0284] The complementarity-determining region (CDR) or CDR is a region within the variable domain of an antibody that is highly variable in sequence and forms a structurally defined loop ("hypervariant loop") and / or contains antigen contact residues ("antigen contact sites"). The CDR is primarily responsible for binding to antigen epitopes. CDRs within the variable domain are typically referred to as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, numbered sequentially starting from the N-terminus. In a given variable region amino acid sequence, the precise amino acid sequence boundaries of each CDR can be determined using any of a number of known antibody CDR assignment systems or combinations thereof, including, for example: Chothia (Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:877-883, Al-Lazikani et al., “Standard conformations for the canonical structures of immunoglobulins”, Journal of Molecular Biology, 273, 927-948 (1997)) based on antibody three-dimensional structure and CDR loop topology; Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 4th edition, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (1987)) based on antibody sequence variability; AbM (University of Bath); Contact (University College London); and the International ImMunoGeneTics. The database (IMGT) (http: / / imgt.cines.fr / ) and the North CDR definition based on affinity propagation clustering using a large number of crystal structures. The correspondences between various numbering systems are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, CDRs can be obtained using the AbYsis database (www.bioinf.org.uk / abysis / sequence_input / key_annotation / key_annotation.cg). In other words, when a CDR sequence and its location in an antibody are provided under one numbering system, those skilled in the art are able to determine the corresponding CDR sequence and its location in an antibody under another numbering system. Technical solutions corresponding to different numbering systems are considered equivalent. In one embodiment, the CDR of the antibody disclosed herein is located according to the Kabat numbering scheme.
[0285] The term "bispecific antibody" refers to an antibody (including the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment, such as a single-chain antibody) that can specifically bind to two different antigens or at least two different antigenic epitopes of the same antigen. Bispecific antibodies with various structures have been disclosed in the prior art. Based on the integrity of the IgG molecule, they can be classified into IgG-like bispecific antibodies and antibody fragment-type bispecific antibodies; based on the number of antigen-binding regions, they can be classified into bivalent, trivalent, tetravalent, or more bispecific antibodies; and based on whether the structure is symmetrical, they can be classified into symmetrical and asymmetrical bispecific antibodies. Among them, bispecific antibodies based on antibody fragments, such as Fab fragments lacking the Fc fragment, form bispecific antibodies by combining two or more Fab fragments into one molecule. These antibodies have low immunogenicity, small molecular weight, and high tumor tissue penetration. Typical antibody structures of this type include F(ab)2, scFv-Fab, and (scFv)2-Fab. IgG-like bispecific antibodies (e.g., those with an Fc fragment) have a relatively large molecular weight. The Fc fragment helps in antibody purification and improves its solubility and stability. The Fc portion may also bind to the receptor FcRn, increasing the antibody's serum half-life. Typical bispecific antibody structural models include KiH, CrossMAb, Triomab quadroma, FcΔAdp, ART-Ig, BiMAb, Biclonics, BEAT, DuoBody, Azymetric, XmAb, 2:1 TCBs, and 1Fab-IgG. TDB, FynomAb, two-in-one / DAF, scFv-Fab-IgG, DART-Fc, LP-DART, CODV-Fab-TL, HLE-BiTE, F(ab)2-CrossMAb , IgG-(scFv)2, Bs4Ab, DVD-Ig, Tetravalent-DART-Fc, (scFv)4-Fc, CODV-Ig, mAb2, F(ab)4-CrossMAb, etc. (see Aran F. Labrijn et al., Nature Reviews Drug Discovery volume 18, pages 585–608 (2019); Chen S1 et al., J Immunol Res. 2019 Feb 11; 2019:4516041).
[0286] The term "antibody-drug conjugate" (ADC) refers to an antibody or antibody fragment linked to a biologically active toxic drug via a linker. The antibodies or antibody fragments described in this disclosure can be conjugated to effector molecules in any manner. For example, antibodies or antibody fragments can be attached to toxic drugs chemically or recombinantly. Chemical methods for preparing fusions or conjugates are known in the art. Methods for conjugating antibodies or antibody fragments to drugs must be able to link the antibody to the toxic drug without interfering with the ability of the antibody or antibody fragment to bind to the target molecule.
[0287] The drugs in the antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein are cytotoxic drugs or cytotoxic compounds, which are substances that inhibit or prevent cell function and / or cause cell death or destruction. In principle, cytotoxic drugs can kill tumor cells at sufficiently high concentrations; however, due to their lack of specificity, they can also cause apoptosis of normal cells while killing tumor cells, leading to serious side effects. Cytotoxic drugs include toxins, such as small molecule toxins or enzyme-active toxins derived from bacteria, fungi, plants, or animals; radioactive isotopes (e.g., radioactive isotopes of At211, I131, I125, Y90, Re186, Re188, Sm153, Bi212, P32, and Lu); chemotherapeutic agents; antibiotics; and ribolysins.
[0288] The antibody and the cytotoxic drug disclosed herein can be conjugated via a conjugating agent. The conjugating agent can be any one or more of the following: non-selective conjugating agents, carboxyl-based conjugating agents, peptide chains, and disulfide-based conjugating agents. The non-selective conjugating agent refers to a compound that covalently links the effector molecule and the antibody, such as glutaraldehyde. The carboxyl-based conjugating agent can be any one or more of the following: maleic aconitine-based conjugating agents (e.g., maleic aconitine) and acylhydrazone-based conjugating agents (with an acylhydrazone as the conjugation site).
[0289] The DAR value (Drug-Antibody Ratio) refers to the ratio of drug to payload molecules conjugated to each antibody. This value is usually an average value, and for example, the DAR value can be 3-6, such as 3-5, 3.5-4.5, or 4-6; or it can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, such as 3, 4, or 5; more preferably, for example, 4.
[0290] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein achieve a stable effect: the antibody-drug conjugate therein substantially retains its physical and / or chemical stability and / or biological activity after storage; for example, the pharmaceutical composition substantially retains its physical and chemical stability and its biological activity after storage. The storage period is generally selected based on the intended shelf life of the pharmaceutical composition. Currently, various analytical techniques are available for measuring protein stability, which can measure stability after storage at a selected temperature for a selected period of time.
[0291] Stable antibody-drug conjugate formulations are those in which no significant changes are observed when stored at refrigerated temperatures (2-8°C) for at least 3 months, at least 6 months, at least 1 year, and up to 2 years. Additionally, stable liquid formulations include those that exhibit the desired characteristics after storage at 25°C for 1 month, 3 months, or 6 months, or at 40°C for 1 month. Typical acceptable criteria for stability are as follows: Degradation of antibody monomers typically not exceeding about 10%, e.g., not exceeding about 5%, as determined by SEC-HPLC. Visually, the antibody-drug conjugate formulation is colorless or clear to slightly milky white. The concentration, pH, and osmotic pressure of the formulation exhibit variations not exceeding ±10%. Truncation typically not exceeding about 10%, e.g., not exceeding about 5%, and aggregation typically not exceeding about 10%, e.g., not exceeding about 5%, are observed.
[0292] If, after visual inspection of color and / or clarity, or by means of UV light scattering, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and dynamic light scattering (DLS), the antibody-drug conjugate does not show significant increase in aggregation, precipitation, and / or denaturation, then the antibody-drug conjugate "retains its physical stability" in the pharmaceutical formulation. Changes in protein conformation can be evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy (which determines the protein's tertiary structure) and by FTIR spectroscopy (which determines the protein's secondary structure).
[0293] If an antibody-drug conjugate does not exhibit significant chemical changes, then the antibody-drug conjugate "retains its chemical stability" in the pharmaceutical formulation. Chemical stability can be assessed by detecting and quantifying the chemically altered form of the protein. Degradation processes that frequently alter the chemical structure of proteins include hydrolysis or truncation (evaluated by methods such as size exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE), oxidation (evaluated by methods such as peptide mapping combined with mass spectrometry or MALDI / TOF / MS), deamidation (evaluated by methods such as ion exchange chromatography, capillary isoelectric focusing, peptide mapping, and isofpartate measurement), and isomerization (evaluated by measuring isofpartate content, peptide mapping, etc.).
[0294] If the biological activity of an antibody-drug conjugate at a given time is within a predetermined range of the biological activity exhibited when the drug formulation is prepared, then the antibody-drug conjugate "retains its biological activity" in the drug formulation. The biological activity of an antibody-drug conjugate can be determined, for example, by an antigen binding assay.
[0295] "Displacement" refers to the replacement of the solvent system in which the antibody-drug conjugate is dissolved. For example, a high-salt or hypertonic solvent system containing the antibody-drug conjugate may be replaced by a physical manipulation of the buffer system of the stabilizing formulation, thereby allowing the antibody-drug conjugate to remain in the stabilizing formulation. The physical manipulation methods include, but are not limited to, ultrafiltration, dialysis, or reconstitution after centrifugation.
[0296] "Liquid composition" refers to an aqueous composition that is not reconstituted from a lyophilized product and contains at least one anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugate and at least one other excipient (e.g., buffer). This liquid composition may contain other excipients (stabilizers, surfactants) and other active ingredients. Such formulations are also known as "ready-to-use" formulations.
[0297] "Lyophilized formulation" refers to a substantially anhydrous, dried (e.g., freeze-dried) pharmaceutical composition. Antibody lyophilization technology is well-known in the art; see, for example, Rey and May (2004), Freeze-Drying / Lyophilization of Pharmaceutical & Biological Products, ISBN 0824748689. Reconstitute the lyophilized material to obtain an aqueous composition (reconstituted solution)—typically for immediate use (e.g., within 1–10 days)—because lyophilized materials often have a limited shelf life after reconstitution.
[0298] Freeze-drying typically involves a series of steps: pre-freezing, primary drying, and secondary drying. Freeze-drying is performed by freezing the formulation and subsequently sublimating water at a temperature suitable for primary drying. Under these conditions, the product temperature is below the eutectic point or collapse temperature of the formulation. Typically, the primary drying temperature ranges from about -50°C to 0°C (assuming the product remains frozen during the primary drying process). The size and type of the formulation, the container holding the sample (e.g., a glass vial), and the volume of liquid determine the required drying time, which can range from several hours to several days (e.g., 40-60 hours). The secondary drying stage can be performed, for example, from about -10°C to 40°C, depending primarily on the type and size of the container and the type of protein used. The secondary drying time is determined by the desired residual moisture level in the product and typically requires at least about 5 hours. Generally, the water content of the low-pressure freeze-dried formulation is less than about 5%, preferably less than about 3%. The pressure can be the same as the pressure applied in the primary drying step. Freeze-drying conditions can vary depending on the formulation and vial size.
[0299] When applied to animals, humans, experimental subjects, cells, tissues, organs, or biological fluids, "giving" and "treatment" refer to the contact of an exogenous drug, therapeutic agent, diagnostic agent, or composition with the animal, human, subject, cell, tissue, organ, or biological fluid. "Giving" and "treatment" can refer to, for example, therapeutic, pharmacokinetic, diagnostic, research, and experimental methods. Cellular treatment includes contact between a reagent and cells, as well as contact between a reagent and a fluid, wherein the fluid is in contact with the cells. "Giving" and "treatment" also mean the treatment of, for example, cells, by means of a reagent, diagnostic agent, conjugate composition, or by means of another cell in vitro and ex vivo. When applied to humans, veterinary, or research subjects, "treatment" refers to therapeutic treatment, preventative or prophylactic measures, research, and diagnostic applications.
[0300] "Treatment" means administering an oral or topical therapeutic agent, such as one comprising any of the compositions disclosed herein, to a subject who has symptoms of one or more diseases, and the therapeutic agent is known to have a therapeutic effect on these symptoms. Typically, a therapeutic agent is administered in a treated subject or population in an amount that effectively relieves symptoms of one or more diseases to induce regression of such symptoms or inhibit their progression to any clinically measurable extent. The amount of a therapeutic agent that effectively relieves any specific disease symptom (also referred to as a "therapeuticly effective amount") can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the subject's disease state, age, and weight, and the drug's ability to produce the desired therapeutic effect in the subject. Whether the disease symptoms have been relieved can be evaluated using any clinical test method commonly used by a physician or other healthcare professional to assess the severity or progression of the symptoms. Although the embodiments disclosed herein (e.g., treatment methods or products) may be ineffective in alleviating symptoms of each target disease, they should reduce symptoms of the target disease in a statistically significant number of subjects, as determined by any statistical test known in the art, such as the Student t-test, chi-square test, U-test according to Mann and Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis test (H-test), Jonckheere-Terpstra test, and Wilcoxon test.
[0301] An "effective dose" includes an amount sufficient to improve or prevent the symptoms or condition of a medically diagnosed disease. An effective dose also means an amount sufficient to allow or facilitate diagnosis. The effective dose for a specific subject or veterinary subject can vary depending on factors such as the condition to be treated, the subject's overall health, the route and dosage of administration, and the severity of side effects. An effective dose can be the maximum dose or administration regimen that avoids significant side effects or toxicity.
[0302] "Optional" or "optionally" means that the event or circumstances described below may, but do not have to, occur, and the description includes the circumstances in which the event or circumstances may or may not occur.
[0303] “N / A” indicates that no test was performed.

[0437] Example 5: Preparation of ADC
[0438] The antibody disclosed herein was reacted with a drug linker (LD) to prepare an ADC drug, and the DAR value of the ADC was determined.
[0439] In simple terms, antibodies are treated with reducing agents (such as tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) or dithiothreitol (DTT)) to reduce some or all of the cysteine disulfide residues, forming highly nucleophilic cysteine thiol groups (-CH2SH). This allows the partially or completely reduced antibody to react with a drug linker, ultimately producing an ADC.
[0440] Methods for determining the DAR value of ADC:
[0441] The DAR value of the ADC disclosed herein was analyzed using hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HIC-HPLC). The ADC was separated in the column using a MabPac HIC-Butyl analytical column (4.6 × 100 mm, 5 μm, catalog number 088558, Thermo Fisher, USA). Buffer solution A was prepared with 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) containing 1.5 M ammonium sulfate, and buffer B was prepared with 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) containing 25% acetonitrile. 85% A and 15% B were stabilized as initial conditions. Elution was performed using a linear gradient of 85% A and 15% B versus 5% A and 95% B for 30 min, followed by an additional 5 min elution using 5% A and 95% B. Flow rate and temperature were set to 0.5 mL / min and 25 °C. ADC drug distribution was detected at 214 and 280 nm for DAR value calculation.

After incubation at 37°C for approximately 120 minutes, drug linker LD-4 was added to the reduced antibody (molar ratio of drug linker to antibody was 5:1). The mixture was purified and desalted by elution with G25 resin at room temperature for 1 hour, and filtered aseptically through a 0.2 μm filter to obtain ADC-1, which was then frozen and stored. Analysis using the above hydrophobic interaction chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determined that the average DAR value of ADC-1 was between 3.7 and 4.3.

[0455] Example 6: Detection of biological activity of monoclonal antibodies
[0456] 6.1 Binding activity of monoclonal antibodies to human ROR1 protein
[0457] Affinity assays for ROR1 protein were performed using the OctetR8 (Sartorius) instrument. An AHC (Anti-hIgG Fc Capture) biosensor (Sartorius) was used to capture the antibody, which was then immersed in the ROR1 antigen analyte. The experiment consisted of five steps:
[0458] 1. Baseline (60 seconds), 2. Loading (antibody capture) (150 seconds, 1.5 nm), 3. Baseline (100 seconds), 4. Association (binding antigen ROR1, 60 seconds), 5. Dissociation (dissociating antigen ROR1, 60 seconds). After the test, the sensor was regenerated by alternating immersion in regeneration buffer (glycine, pH 1.5) and neutralization buffer (PBS) for 5 seconds each, for a total of 3 cycles. PBS was used as the running buffer in this experiment.
[0459] 6.2 Binding activity of monoclonal antibodies to human ROR1-expressing cells

MDA-MB-231 / Jeko-1 cells were incubated with different concentrations (starting at 66.67 nM, 6-fold dilution, for a total of 8 concentrations) of antibody at 4°C for 30 minutes. After washing the cells twice with 2% BSA-PBS, PE-labeled goat anti-human IgG Fc (Invitrogen, catalog number: 12-4998-82, 1:100 dilution) was added, and the reaction was carried out at 4°C in the dark for 30 minutes. After washing the cells twice with 2% BSA-PBS, the median fluorescence intensity was detected by flow cytometry using a BD C6 plus instrument.
[0461] 6.3 Binding activity of monoclonal antibodies to human ROR2 protein
[0462] The binding of humanized antibody to ROR1 homolog ROR2 was detected using an ELISA method. hROR2 (manufacturer: Kaika Biotechnology, catalog number: ROR-HM402) was diluted to 1 μg / mL in PBS and coated onto microplates, then incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The plates were then blocked with 5% BSA-PBS blocking buffer at 37°C for 1 hour. After washing with PBST, the antibody was diluted to different concentrations (starting from 333.33 nM, 3-fold dilutions, for a total of 8 concentrations) and added to the plates, then incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After washing, HRP-labeled goat anti-human IgG (manufacturer: Sigma-Aldrich, catalog number A0170, 1:10000 dilution) was added, and the reaction was carried out at 37°C for 1 hour. After washing, TMB solution was added, and the reaction was incubated at room temperature in the dark for 15 minutes, then the reaction was terminated by adding ELISA Stopping Solution. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
[0463] The results are shown in Table 8-11 below.
[0464] Table 8. Results of activity assay for humanized antibody BRHu-3 at D10
[0465] Table 8 shows that the humanized antibody BRHu-3 and the ch-D10 antibody have similar affinity for ROR1 protein, and similar binding ability to MDA-MB-231 cells, and neither of them binds to ROR2.
[0466] Table 9. Activity assay results of affinity maturation antibodies
[0467] The results in Table 9 show that, compared with BRHu-3, the affinity of the maturation antibody YR-8 to ROR1 is significantly improved, and YR-8 does not bind to ROR2.
[0468] Table 10. Results of YR-8 mutant molecule activity assay
[0469] Table 10 shows that neither YR-8 nor YR-8-ES binds to ROR2. Compared with YR-8, YR-8-ES has comparable affinity for ROR1 and binding activity with MDA-MB-231 cells.
[0470] Table 11. Results of Affinity Maturation Molecular Activity Detection
[0471] Table 11 shows that, compared to H10-hVH4-hVL4, the affinity maturation antibody AM3-ZH3 showed varying degrees of increased affinity for ROR1 and binding to MDA-MB-231 cells, with AM3-ZH3 exhibiting an affinity increase of more than 9-fold. Furthermore, AM3-ZH3 did not bind to ROR2.
[0472] Example 7: Antibody binding experiment with ROR1-expressing cells
[0473] Measuring the specific binding ability of anti-hROR1 antibodies to the hROR1 antigen expressed on the cell surface is crucial for antibody efficacy. The cell lines used in this experiment were PA-1 (ATCC CRL-1572 human ovarian teratoma cells) and Jeko-1 (ATCC CRL-3006, human mantle cell lymphoma cells). PA-1 cells were cultured in ATCC EMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Jeko-1 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 20% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The experimental procedure is as follows:
[0474] Cells in logarithmic growth phase were lysed with 0.25% trypsin, resuspended in staining buffer (Biolengend), washed, counted, and adjusted to 4.5 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 5Add 45 μL of staining buffer per 100 μL of cells to each well of a 96-well plate. Add 5 μL of human TruStain (BioLegend) receptor blocking agent to each well to prevent non-specific binding of the antibody to human tumor cells. Dilute the test antibody to an initial concentration of 200 nM in staining buffer, then perform 3-fold dilutions to obtain 11 concentration points, including 200 nM and zero. Add 50 μL of the diluted test antibody to each well of the 96-well plate, resulting in a final maximum concentration of 100 nM. Mix well and incubate at 4°C for 15 minutes. After the reaction, wash the cells in staining buffer, then resuspend the PE-labeled constant region (Fc) specific antibody (rabbit anti-human IgG PE conjugate, BioLegend, 410707) in 5 μL / 2×10⁻⁶ cells / well. 5 Cells were incubated at 100 μL staining buffer per cell and reacted at 4 °C for 15 min. After the reaction, cells were washed in staining buffer and resuspended in 100 μL staining buffer. Single-cell readings on the PE channel were analyzed using a Novocyte 3000 (Agilent) instrument. A dose-response curve was plotted using the Sigmoidal,4PL four-parameter equation, with antibody protein concentration on the x-axis and the corresponding PE channel reading on the y-axis. EC was generated after analysis. 50 The value is: Y = Bottom + (X^Hillslope) * (Top - Bottom) / (X^HillSlope + EC) 50 ^HillSlope),
[0475] MFI fold = highest PE reading in the antibody-treated experimental group / PE reading in the untreated group;
[0476] The FACS binding activity results of the anti-hROR1 antibody assays with human ROR1 are shown in Table 12. The results show that the anti-ROR1 antibodies disclosed herein can specifically bind to PA-1 and Jeko-1 cells expressing ROR1, and both exhibit high binding capacity. Furthermore, on the same cell line, the total amount of antigen that the dual-epitope antibody can recognize and label is higher than that of the single-epitope antibody, specifically manifested as a significant increase in the MFI fold ratio.

[0478] Example 8: Cytotoxicity assay of ADC molecules
[0479] This experiment investigated the inhibitory effects of anti-ROR1 antibody-MMAE conjugate and anti-ROR1 antibody-Eribulin conjugate on the proliferation of various tumor cell lines. CellTiterGlo2 (Promega) reagent was used to evaluate the anti-proliferative effects of the drugs. The cell lines used in the experiment were: PA-1 (ATCC, CRL-1572 human ovarian teratoma cells), Jeko-1 (ATCC CRL-3006, human mantle cell lymphoma cells), and HCC-1187 (ATCC CRL-2322 human breast cancer cells). The experimental procedure is as follows:
[0480] PA-1 cells were cultured in ATCC EMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, Jeko-1 cells in RPMI-1640 medium containing 20% fetal bovine serum, and HCC-1187 cells in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. The three cell types were cultured at 2 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 3 ~5×10 3 Cells were seeded at a density of 50 μL / well in 96-well plates. After 24 h of culture, 100 μL / well of anti-ROR1 antibody-MMAE conjugate, anti-ROR1 antibody-Eribulin conjugate, or control antibody-MMAE conjugate or control antibody-Eribulin conjugate diluted with different concentrations of culture medium was added. Each concentration was replicated, and corresponding concentrations of solvent control and cell-free culture medium were also included. After culturing at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 96 h (PA-1, Jeko-1) or 144 h (HCC-1187), 100 μL of CellTiterGlo2 was added to each well. The plates were mixed at room temperature on a shaker for 15 min, and the luminescence value was measured. The IC50 of the anti-ROR1 antibody-MMAE conjugate or anti-ROR1 antibody-Eribulin conjugate for various cell types was calculated. 50 Value (nM). The results are shown in Table 13.
[0481] Table 13. IC50 of ADCs for inhibiting different cell proliferation 50 Value (nM)
[0482] As shown in Table 13, the anti-ROR1 antibody-MMAE conjugate or the -Eribulin conjugate exhibited significant killing effects on tumor cells with different ROR1 expression levels. The inhibitory effect was related to the different conjugation methods or different toxins used. This indicates that the anti-ROR1 antibody conjugate disclosed herein can specifically kill ROR1-positive cells through ROR1-mediated endocytosis. Furthermore, it showed significant inhibitory effects on cancer cell lines from breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and lymphoma, respectively, demonstrating that the ADC obtained in this disclosure has good inhibitory effects on various solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

[0539] Note: 0.0 means that the content of naked antibody is 0, that is, no naked antibody was detected.
[0540] HICC-HPLC results showed that under high temperature, light irradiation, and accelerated testing conditions, the DAR values and naked antibody ratios of each formulation did not change significantly. This indicates that the disclosed formulation has excellent stability.
[0541] In summary, the lyophilized formulations F1–F3 of the anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein exhibit good appearance and demonstrate excellent stability under various conditions, including high temperature, light exposure, and accelerated testing. For example, aggregate content, charge distribution, and drug-antibody ratio remain stable. Therefore, citrate-sodium citrate buffer can be used as a buffer for the antibody-drug conjugates disclosed herein, with a pH range of 5.5–6.5.
[0542] 10.2 Stabilizer Screening for Anti-ROR1 Antibody-Drug Conjugate Formulations

[0544] Table 25. Formulation Composition
[0545] The above-mentioned prescription formulations were prepared as solutions, and after being freeze-dried by process 1 (see Example 11), they were stored at 5℃±3℃ as samples at 0℃. High temperature, light exposure and accelerated testing were carried out according to Table 17. The appearance, visible foreign matter and purity (SEC-HPLC, non-reducing CE-SDS, icIEF, HIC-HPLC) of formulation combinations F2 and F4 were detected.
[0546] The appearance and visible foreign matter of the freeze-dried product are as follows:
[0547] None of the prescriptions had obvious appearance defects; they were all white or off-white lumps.
[0548] The test results after reconstitution are as follows:
[0549] The lyophilized formulations of combinations F2 and F4 were reconstituted with sterile water for injection. The composition of the reconstituted solution is shown in Table 25.
[0550] The results showed that no visible foreign matter was found in any of the reconstituted solution samples of formulations F2 and F4 under conditions of 0°C, high temperature, light irradiation, and accelerated testing.
[0551] The purity of the reconstituted solutions of formulations F2 and F4 was determined by SEC-HPLC, non-reducing CE-SDS, iC IEF, and HIC-HPLC. The results are as follows:
[0552] Table 26. Stability Results
[0553] Note: 0.0 means the content of naked antibody is 0, that is, the presence of naked antibody was not detected; N / A means not detected.
[0554] The results show:
[0555] Under high temperature, light, and accelerated testing conditions, both formulations F2 and F4 showed good stability, with F2 exhibiting a higher main peak content, slightly better than F4.
[0556] Therefore, the stabilizer can be sucrose or a mixture of sucrose and mannitol.
[0557] Example 11. Optimization of the lyophilization process for anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugate formulations
[0558] The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC-3) was mixed with a buffer, stabilizer, and surfactant to obtain a liquid formulation; the components of the liquid formulation are shown in Table 27 below.
[0559] Table 27. Liquid Formulation Components of Anti-ROR1 Antibody-Drug Conjugates
[0560] The above-mentioned liquid formulations were freeze-dried in a lyophilizer (Martin Christ Epsilon 2-6D LSCplus) using processes 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The freeze-drying steps included pre-cooling, pre-freezing, primary drying, and secondary drying in sequence. Process 2 reduced the pre-freezing and annealing step compared to Process 1 to evaluate the impact on ice crystal formation and drying efficiency. Process 3 adjusted the primary drying stage compared to Process 2 to explore the potential impact of shortened drying time on product quality. The parameters and experimental procedures for processes 1, 2, and 3 are shown in Table 28 below.
[0561] Table 28. Freeze-drying process parameters
[0562] After obtaining the lyophilized formulation, it was stored at 5℃±3℃, and the lyophilized samples underwent visual inspection. The product was analyzed by weighing to determine the amount of water removed from each sample.
[0563] The results showed that the freeze-drying process effectively removed moisture. Products from freeze-dried processes 1 and 2 exhibited good consistency and no obvious defects, while the product from freeze-dried process 3 showed signs of spraying. Therefore, freeze-drying processes 1 and 2 are both suitable for freeze-drying anti-ROR1 antibody-drug conjugates. Freeze-drying process 2, which eliminates the annealing and warming step, has a shorter freeze-drying time and does not involve warming, making it a superior freeze-drying process.
