[0076] DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0077]
[0068] Multispecific antibodies combine the benefits of different binding specificities derived from two or more antibodies into a single composition. Multispecific antibodies for redirecting T cells to cancers have shown promise in both pre-clinical and clinical studies. This approach relies on binding of one antigen interacting portion of the antibody to a tumor-associated antigen or marker, while a second antigen WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601 interacting portion can bind to an effector cell antigen on a T cell, such as cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3), which then triggers cytotoxic activity.
[0078]
[0069] One such tumor- associated antigen is PSMA. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), also known as glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII), N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate peptidase I (NAALADase I), or NAAG peptidase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FOLH1 (folate hydrolase 1) gene. PSMA is a zinc metalloenzyme that resides in membranes. Most of the enzyme resides in the extracellular space. Human PSMA is highly expressed in the prostate, roughly a hundred times greater than in most other tissues. In some prostate cancers, PSMA is the second-most upregulated gene product, with an 8- to 12-fold increase over levels in noncancerous prostate cells.
[0079]
[0070] T cell engagers (TCEs) therapeutics have several benefits including they are not cell therapies and thus can be offered as off-the-shelf therapies as opposed to chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T cell) therapies. While TCE therapeutics have displayed potent anti-tumor activity in hematological cancers, developing TCEs to treat solid tumors has faced challenges due to the limitations of prior TCE technologies, namely (i) overactivation of the immune system leading to cytokine release syndrome (CRS), (ii) on-target, healthy tissue toxi cities and (iii) poor pharmacokinetics (PK) leading to short half-life. CRS arises from the systemic activation of T cells and can result in life-threatening elevations in inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Severe and acute CRS leading to dose limited toxicities and deaths have been observed upon the dosing of T cell engagers develop using other platforms to treat cancer patients in poor clinical studies. This toxicity restricts the maximum blood levels of T cell engagers that can be safely dosed. T cell engager effectiveness has also been limited because of on-target, healthy tissue toxicity. T cell engagers developed using a platform not designed for tumor-specification activation have resulted in clinicals holds and dose-limiting toxicities resulting from target expression in healthy tissues. T cell engagers have also been limited by short half-lives. T cell engagers quickly reach sub-therapeutic levels after being administered as they are quickly eliminated from the body due to their short exposure half-lives. For this reason, T cell engagers such as blinatumomab are typically administered by a low-dose, continuous infusion pump over a period of weeks to overcome the challenge of a short half-life and to maintain therapeutic levels of drug in the body. A continuous dosing regimen represents a significant burden for patients.
[0080]
[0071] To overcome these challenges associated with the effectiveness of T cell engagers, described herein, are polypeptide or polypeptide complexes that comprise binding domains that selectively bind to an effector cell antigen and PSMA and are selectively activated in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, the polypeptide or polypeptide complexes described herein comprise a half-life extending molecule. In some embodiments, the polypeptide or polypeptide complexes comprise peptides that impair binding of the PSMA binding domain to PSMA and impair binding of the effector cell antigen binding domain to the effector cell antigen. In some embodiments, the peptides are attached to the binding domains via cleavable linkers that are selectively cleaved in tumor microenvironments such that the PSMA binding domain and the effector cell antigen binding domain are available for binding to their respective targets in tumor microenvironments. WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601
[0081] Such modifications reduce CRS and on-target healthy tissue toxicity risk, improves stability in the bloodstream and serum half-life prior to activation.
[0082] Certain Definitions
[0083]
[0072] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular cases only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “including”, “includes”, “having”, “has”, “with”, or variants thereof are used in either the detailed description and / or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising.”
[0084]
[0073] The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense and covers fully assembled antibodies, antibody fragments that can bind antigen, for example, Fab, F(ab’)2, Fv, single chain antibodies (scFv), diabodies, antibody chimeras, hybrid antibodies, bispecific antibodies, and the like.
[0085]
[0074] The term “complementarity determining region” or “CDR” is a segment of the variable region of an antibody that is complementary in structure to the epitope to which the antibody binds and is more variable than the rest of the variable region. Accordingly, a CDR is sometimes referred to as hypervariable region. A variable region comprises three CDRs. CDR peptides can be obtained by constructing genes encoding the CDR of an antibody of interest. Such genes are prepared, for example, by using the polymerase chain reaction to synthesize the variable region from RNA of antibody-producing cells. See, for example, Larrick et al., Methods: A Companion to Methods in Enzymology 2: 106 (1991); Courtenay-Luck, “Genetic Manipulation of Monoclonal Antibodies,” in Monoclonal Antibodies: Production, Engineering and Clinical Application, Ritter et al. (eds.), pages 166-179 (Cambridge University Press 1995); and Ward et al., “Genetic Manipulation and Expression of Antibodies,” in Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles and Applications , Birch et al., (eds.), pages 137-185 (Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1995).
[0086]
[0075] The term “Fab” refers to a protein that contains the constant domain of the light chain and the first constant domain (CHI) of the heavy chain. Fab fragments differ from Fab' fragments by the addition of a few residues at the carboxy terminus of the heavy chain CHI domain including one or more cysteines from the antibody hinge region. Fab’-SH is the designation herein for Fab' in which the cysteine residue(s) of the constant domains bear a free thiol group. Fab' fragments are produced by reducing the F(ab’)2 fragment’s heavy chain disulfide bridge. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.
[0087]
[0076] A “CrossFab configuration” as used herein is a Fab molecule wherein the variable domains or the constant domains of the Fab heavy and light chain are exchanged (replaced by each other) (see, e.g., W02009 / 080252A1 and WO2017 / 055388A2). For example, a Fab molecule in a CrossFab configuration may comprise a peptide chain composed of the variable light chain domain and the heavy chain constant domain (VL-CH1 in an N- to C-terminal direction), and a peptide chain composed of the variable heavy chain domain and the light chain constant domain (VH-CL in an N- to C-terminal direction).
[0088]
[0077] A “single-chain variable fragment (scFv)” is a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light chains (VL) of an antibody, connected with a short linker peptide of ten to about 25 amino WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601 acids. The linker is usually rich in glycine for flexibility, as well as serine or threonine for solubility, and can either connect the N-terminus of the VH with the C-terminus of the VL, or vice versa. This protein retains the specificity of the original antibody, despite removal of the constant regions and the introduction of the linker. scFv antibodies are, e.g. described in Houston, J. S., Methods in Enzymol. 203 (1991) 46-96). In addition, antibody fragments comprise single chain polypeptides having the characteristics of a VH domain, namely being able to assemble together with a VL domain, or of a VL domain, namely being able to assemble together with aVH domain to a functional antigen binding site and thereby providing the antigen binding property of full length antibodies.
[0089]
[0078] As used herein, the term “percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” with respect to a sequence is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in the specific sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as EMBOSS MATCHER, EMBOSS WATER, EMBOSS STRETCHER, EMBOSS NEEDLE, EMBOSS LALIGN, BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full length of the sequences being compared.
[0090]
[0079] In situations where ALIGN-2 is employed for amino acid sequence comparisons, the % amino acid sequence identity of a given amino acid sequence A to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B (which can alternatively be phrased as a given amino acid sequence A that has or comprises a certain % amino acid sequence identity to, with, or against a given amino acid sequence B) is calculated as follows: 100 times the fraction X / Y, where X is the number of amino acid residues scored as identical matches by the sequence alignment program ALIGN-2 in that program's alignment of A and B, and where Y is the total number of amino acid residues in B. It will be appreciated that where the length of amino acid sequence A is not equal to the length of amino acid sequence B, the % amino acid sequence identity of A to B will not equal the % amino acid sequence identity of B to A. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all % amino acid sequence identity values used herein are obtained as described in the immediately preceding paragraph using the ALIGN-2 computer program.
[0091]
[0080] The terms “complementarity determining region,” and “CDR,” which are synonymous with “hypervariable region” or “HVR,” are known in the art to refer to non -contiguous sequences of amino acids within antibody variable regions, which confer antigen specificity and / or binding affinity. In general, there are three CDRs in each heavy chain variable region (CDR-H1, CDR-H2, CDR-H3) and three CDRs in each light chain variable region (CDR-L1, CDR-L2, CDR-L3). “Framework regions” and “FR” are known in the art to refer to the non-CDR portions of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains. In general, there are four FRs in each full-length heavy chain variable region (FR-H1, FR-H2, FR-H3, and FR-H4), and four FRs in each full-length light chain variable region (FR-L1, FR-L2, FR-L3, and FR-L4). The precise amino acid WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601 sequence boundaries of a given CDR or FR can be readily determined using any of a number of well-known schemes, including those described by Kabat et al. (1991), “Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest,” 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD (“Kabat” numbering scheme), Al- Lazikani et al., (1997) JMB 273,927-948 (“Chothia” numbering scheme); MacCallum et al., J. Mol. Biol. 262:732-745 (1996), “Antibody-antigen interactions: Contact analysis and binding site topography,” J. Mol. Biol. 262, 732-745.” (“Contact” numbering scheme); Lefranc MP et al., “IMGT unique numbering for immunoglobulin and T cell receptor variable domains and Ig superfamily V-like domains,” Dev Comp Immunol, 2003 Jan;27(l):55-77 (“IMGT’ numbering scheme); Honegger A and Pluckthun A, “Yet another numbering scheme for immunoglobulin variable domains: an automatic modeling and analysis tool,” J Mol Biol, 2001 Jun 8;309(3):657-70, (“Aho” numbering scheme); and WhiteleggNR and Rees AR, “WAM: an improved algorithm for modelling antibodies on the WEB,” Protein Eng. 2000 Dec;13(12):819-24 (“AbM’ numbering scheme. In certain embodiments the CDRs of the antibodies described herein can be defined by a method selected from Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, Aho, AbM, or combinations thereof.
[0092]
[0081] The boundaries of a given CDR or FR may vary depending on the scheme used for identification. For example, the Kabat scheme is based on structural alignments, while the Chothia scheme is based on structural information. Numbering for both the Kabat and Chothia schemes is based upon the most common antibody region sequence lengths, with insertions accommodated by insertion letters, for example, “30a,” and deletions appearing in some antibodies. The two schemes place certain insertions and deletions (“indels”) at different positions, resulting in differential numbering. The Contact scheme is based on analysis of complex crystal structures and is similar in many respects to the Chothia numbering scheme.

[0129] Alternatively, a nucleic acid molecule encoding an antibody is optionally generated from a suitable source (e.g., an antibody cDNA library, or cDNA library generated from any tissue or cells expressing the immunoglobulin) by PCR amplification using synthetic primers hybridizable to the 3' and 5' ends of the sequence or by cloning using an oligonucleotide probe specific for the particular gene sequence.
[0181]
[0130] In some instances, an antibody or its binding fragment is optionally generated by immunizing an animal, such as a mouse, to generate polyclonal antibodies or, more preferably, by generating monoclonal antibodies, e.g., as described by Kohler and Milstein (1975, Nature 256:495-497) or, as described by Kozbor et al. (1983, Immunology Today 4:72) or Cole et al. (1985 in Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp. 77-96). Alternatively, a clone encoding at least the Fab portion of the antibody is optionally obtained by screening Fab expression libraries (e.g., as described in Huse et al., 1989, Science 246: 1275-1281) for clones of Fab fragments that bind the specific antigen or by screening antibody libraries (See, e.g., Clackson et al., 1991, Nature 352:624; Hane et al., 1997 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:4937).
[0182]
[0131] In some embodiments, techniques developed for the production of “chimeric antibodies” (Morrison et al., 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 81:851-855; Neuberger et al., 1984, Nature 312:604-608; Takeda et al., 1985, Nature 314:452-454) by splicing genes from a mouse antibody molecule of appropriate antigen specificity together with genes from a human antibody molecule of appropriate biological activity are used. A chimeric antibody is a molecule in which different portions are derived from different animal species, such as those having a variable region derived from a murine monoclonal antibody and a human immunoglobulin constant region.
[0183]
[0132] In some embodiments, techniques described for the production of single chain antibodies (U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,778; Bird, 1988, Science 242:423-42; Huston et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879- 5883; and Ward et al., 1989, Nature 334:544-54) are adapted to produce single chain antibodies. Single chain antibodies are formed by linking the heavy and light chain fragments of the Fv region via an amino acid bridge, resulting in a single chain polypeptide. Techniques for the assembly of functional Fv fragments in E. coli are also optionally used (Skerra et al., 1988, Science 242: 1038-1041).
[0184]
[0133] In some embodiments, an expression vector comprising the nucleotide sequence of an antibody or the nucleotide sequence of an antibody is transferred to a host cell by conventional techniques (e.g., electroporation, liposomal transfection, and calcium phosphate precipitation), and the transfected cells are then cultured by conventional techniques to produce the antibody. In specific embodiments, the expression of the antibody is regulated by a constitutive, an inducible or a tissue, specific promoter.
[0185]
[0134] In some embodiments, a variety of host-expression vector systems is utilized to express an antibody, or its binding fragment described herein. Such host-expression systems represent vehicles by which the coding sequences of the antibody is produced and subsequently purified, but also represent cells that are, when transformed or transfected with the appropriate nucleotide coding sequences, express an antibody or its binding fragment in situ. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms such as bacteria (e.g., E. coli and B. subtilis) transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA or cosmid DNA expression vectors containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; yeast (e.g., WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601
[0186] Saccharomyces Pichia) transformed with recombinant yeast expression vectors containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; insect cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., baculovirus) containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing an antibody or its binding fragment coding sequences; or mammalian cell systems (e.g., COS, CHO, BH, 293, 293T, 3T3 cells) harboring recombinant expression constructs containing promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g. the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter).
[0187]
[0135] For long term, high-yield production of recombinant proteins, stable expression is preferred. In some instances, cell lines that stably express an antibody are optionally engineered. Rather than using expression vectors that contain viral origins of replication, host cells are transformed with DNA controlled by appropriate expression control elements (e.g., promoter, enhancer, sequences, transcription terminators, poly adenylation sites, etc.), and a selectable marker. Following the introduction of the foreign DNA, engineered cells are then allowed to grow for 1 -2 days in an enriched media, and then are switched to a selective media. The selectable marker in the recombinant plasmid confers resistance to the selection and allows cells to stably integrate the plasmid into their chromosomes and grow to form foci that in turn are cloned and expanded into cell lines. This method can advantageously be used to engineer cell lines which express the antibody or its binding fragments.
[0188]
[0136] In some instances, a number of selection systems are used, including but not limited to the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (Wigler et al., 1977, Cell 11:223), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (Szybalska & Szybalski, 192, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 48:202), and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (Lowy et al., 1980, Cell 22:817) genes are employed in tk-, hgprt- or aprt- cells, respectively. Also, antimetabolite resistance are used as the basis of selection for the following genes: dhfr, which confers resistance to methotrexate (Wigler et al., 1980, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77:357; O’Hare et al., 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78: 1527); gpt, which confers resistance to mycophenolic acid (Mulligan & Berg, 1981, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78:2072); neo, which confers resistance to the aminoglycoside G-418 (Clinical Pharmacy 12:488-505; Wu and Wu, 1991, Biotherapy 3:87-95; Tolstoshev, 1993, Ann. Rev. Pharmacol. Toxicol. 32:573-596; Mulligan, 1993, Science 260:926-932; and Morgan and Anderson, 1993, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 62: 191-217; May 1993, TIB TECH 11(5): 155-215) and hygro, which confers resistance to hygromycin (Santerre et al., 1984, Gene 30: 147). Methods commonly known in the art of recombinant DNA technology which can be used are described in Ausubel et al. (eds., 1993, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, NY; Kriegler, 1990, Gene Transfer and Expression, A Laboratory Manual, Stockton Press, NY; and in Chapters 12 and 13, Dracopoli et al. (eds), 1994, Current Protocols in Human Genetics, John Wiley & Sons, NY.; Colberre-Garapin et al., 1981, J. Mol. Biol. 150: 1). In some instances, the expression levels of an antibody are increased by vector amplification (for a review, see Bebbington and Hentschel, the use of vectors based on gene amplification for the expression of cloned WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601 genes in mammalian cells in DNA cloning, Vol. 3. (Academic Press, New York, 1987)). When a marker in the vector system expressing an antibody is amplifiable, an increase in the level of inhibitor present in culture of host cell will increase the number of copies of the marker gene. Since the amplified region is associated with the nucleotide sequence of the antibody, production of the antibody will also increase (Crouse et al., 1983, Mol. Cell Biol. 3:257).
[0189]
[0137] In some instances, any method known in the art for purification of an antibody is used, for example, by chromatography (e.g., ion exchange, affinity, particularly by affinity for the specific antigen after Protein A, and sizing column chromatography), centrifugation, differential solubility, or by any other standard technique for the purification of proteins.

[0164] Peptides were evaluated for their ability to bind to PSMA Fab in a standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format. Specifically, peptides were evaluated for their ability to bind polypeptide sequence PSMA Fab (SEQ ID NOs: 145, 146). Briefly, biotinylated peptides were captured on neutravidin coated plates. PSMA Fab diluted in buffer was then added to the peptide captured plates.
[0508] Bound antibody was detected using a standard horse radish peroxidase conjugate secondary antibody. The concentration of PSMA Fab required to achieve 50% maximal signal (ECso) was calculated using Graphpad Prism software. Exemplary binding curves for PSMA Fab binding to peptides are shown in FIGs. 1-2. ECsos for PSMA Fab binding to the peptides are shown in Tables 17-19.
[0509] Binding Inhibition by Peptide Masks
[0510]
[0165] Peptides were further evaluated for their ability to inhibit PSMA Fab (SEQ ID NOs: 145, 146) from binding to the PSMA antigen in a standard ELISA format. Briefly, biotinylated PSMA antigen was captured on neutravidin coated plates. PSMA Fab fixed at 0.3 nanomolar (nM) concentration was pre-incubated with 0-100 micromolar (pM) titrated peptides. After a short pre-incubati on period, the mixture of titrated peptide with fixed PSMA Fab were added to the PSMA antigen coated plates. After a short incubation on the plates, bound PSMA Fab was detected with a standard horse radish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody. The concentration of peptide required to reduce the maximum signal by 50% (IC50) was calculated in Graphpad Prism software. FIGs. 3-4 illustrate inhibition of PSMA Fab binding to PSMA by the peptide masks as measured by ELISA. IC50S are provided in Tables 17-19.
[0511] Kinetic Binding via BLI
[0512]
[0166] Kinetic binding peptides to PSMA Fab (SEQ ID NOs: 145, 146) was evaluated using biolayer interferometry (BLI). Briefly, biotinylated peptides were loaded onto a streptavidin coated Octet® SAX biosensor, quenched in biocytin, and baselined in buffer. PSMA Fab was titrated in solution (100 nM, 50 nM, 25 nM, and 12.5 nM) and associated onto the peptide loaded sensor. After a short association period, sensors were transferred into buffer and the dissociation of bound PSMA Fab was measured. Association and dissociation signals were recorded in real time and analyzed using a 1 : 1 binding model within the instrument software. Analysis using a 1: 1 binding model enabled the calculation of the on and off rate WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601 constant as well as affinity, KD. Binding sensorgrams are shown in FIGs. 5-27. Half-life (ti / 2) values obtained from the kinetic binding measurements are provided in Tables 18-19.
[0513] Peptide mask properties
[0514]
[0167] Peptide off rate, binding affinity, and inhibition strength are key design features of peptide masks as described herein. Peptides with the lowest EC50 value and lowest IC50 value with fast off rates, lowest ti / 2 values, are desired. Peptides with high binding affinity and inhibition capacity imply masking strength while a fast off rate ensures that the mask comes off the antibody once the antibody is cleaved by protease.

[0518] Example 2: Sequence Activity Relationships - PSMA Mask Peptides
[0519]
[0168] Sequence activity relationships (SAR) were established for peptide-23 and peptide-24 which were found to exhibit strong binding to the PSMA Fab. The sequence activity relationships were established by mutating individual residues within each peptide to alanine and measuring the influence of each mutation on the ability of the peptide to inhibit the ability of the PSMA Fab (SEQ ID NOs: 145, 146) from binding to PSMA by competition ELISA experiments as described above in Example 1. IC50S for binding inhibition of the alanine scanning sequences are provided in Tables 20-21. The tables also designate each alanine mutation as tolerant (T), somewhat tolerant (ST), or intolerant (IT) based on changes in binding inhibition WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601 ability relative to the non-mutated peptide. Cys-5 and Cys-11 of peptide-23 and peptide- 24 were not mutated.

[0522] Example 3. Optimization Phage Library Construction of Peptide-24
[0523]
[0169] Using the peptide sequence activity relationships of Example 2, DNA oligo libraries were constructed where codons encoding critical residues within peptide-24 were minimally mutated, and codons encoding non-critical residues that were tolerated in the alanine scanning mutation studies (e. g. , He- 1 , Ala- 2, Val-3, Gln-6, Asn-8, and Ala-12) were heavily mutated. The resulting oligos were cloned into bacteriophage vectors used to display the SAR guided peptides via fusion to the pill filament of the bacteriophage. The relevant vectors were then used to produce the phage optimization libraries via amplification in bacteria using standard techniques in the field.
[0524] Example 4: Panning of the optimized phage library of Peptide-24 WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601
[0525]
[0170] Once the phage optimization libraries were completed, phage libraries were bio-panned using PSMA Fab loaded beads. Multiple rounds of panning were performed where bacteriophage was allowed to bind to PSMA Fab loaded beads, washed, eluted, and amplified. After panning, phage infected bacteria were plated out and colonies picked into 96 well blocks. Clonal phage was then amplified and separated from bacterial cells via centrifugation. Phage containing supernatants were tested in binding ELIS As against PSMA Fab coated plates in the presence or absence of saturating concentrations of PSMA antigen. Phage able to bind PSMA Fab were selected for sequence analysis if the binding signal was reduced in the presence of PSMA. SAR guided optimization phage library panning results of peptide-24 are shown in Table 22

[0527] Example 5: Panning of the optimized phage library
[0528]
[0171] Clonal phage were harvested as crude supernatants and screened via standard ELISAs. Briefly, biotinylated PSMA Fab was captured on neutravidin coated plates. Prior to the addition of clonal phage, wells were incubated with blocking buffer and PSMA antigen or blocking buffer alone. Without washing or aspirating, clonal phage supernatants were then added to the wells and incubated for a short time. Wells WSGR Docket No. 52426-778.601 were then washed followed by detection of bound phage using ahorse radish conjugated anti-M13 antibody. Clonal phage of interest were then sent for sequence analysis.
[0529]
[0172] Phage panning results of peptide-24 library sequences are shown in Table 5. 2323 clonal phage sequences were identified. A consensus sequence was calculated from all the sequences of Table 5 using WebLogo 3.7. 12. The consensus sequence is shown in FIG. 28.

[0542]
[0178] Ab-1 and PC-5 were evaluated in a functional in vitro tumor cell killing assay using the PSMA positive tumor cell lines 22Rvl and LNCaP. Tumor cell killing was measured using a real time cell analyzer from Acea Biosciences that relies on sensor impedance measurements (cell index) that increased as tumor cells adhere, spread, and expand on the surface of the sensor. Likewise, as the tumor cells were killed the impedance decreased. 25,000 tumor cells were added per well and allowed to adhere overnight. The following day polypeptide complexes titrated in human serum supplemented medium along with 75,000 CD8+ T cells were added to the wells. Cell index measurements were taken every 10 minutes for an additional 96 hours. The cell index times number of hours (tumor cell growth kinetics) was then plotted versus concentration of polypeptide complex where the concentration required to reduce the tumor growth 50% (IC50) was calculated using Graphpad Prism.

[0548]
[0181] Cytokine release after polypeptide molecule administration by IV bolus and subcutaneous injection was evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. Briefly, cynomolgus monkeys of approximately 3 kg bodyweight were administered polypeptides as an IV bolus or subcutaneous injection and observed daily for signs of adverse events. No in-life adverse events or cytokine release syndrome were observed. After dosing, blood was collected in K2 EDTA tubes at specific timepoints and processed to plasma. Plasma was stored frozen until analysis. Concentration of polypeptide molecules in plasma was measured via standard ELISA techniques relative to a reference standard diluted in control cynomolgus monkey plasma. The concentration of PC-5 over 7 days is shown in FIG. 33. Plasma samples were analyzed for cytokines using a non-human primate cytometric Thl / Th2 bead array kit from BD biosciences following the manufacturer’s instructions. Interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 6, interleukin 10, and interleukin 2 levels in plasma were calculated relative to reference standards provided with the bead array kit. Data is seen in FIGs. 34-38. FIG. 35 shows that PC-5 administration resulted in a transient increase in interleukin 6 levels following administration that were restored to baseline levels 7 days after administration.
