Description

A bispecific antibody conjugate, its preparation method and application

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024115705757, filed November 5, 2024, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202511563862X, filed October 29, 2025. The full text of the aforementioned Chinese patent applications is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure relates to the field of biopharmaceuticals, and more specifically, to bispecific antibody molecules that bind EGFR and / or c-Met, and their conjugates with deuterated camptothecin compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as well as methods for preparing and using these conjugates. This disclosure also relates to pharmaceutical conjugates comprising said bispecific antibodies and their related applications in the treatment of cancer. Background Technology

[0003] Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key factor controlling epithelial cell growth and survival. Its mediated signaling pathway regulates a range of normal cellular biological behaviors, such as growth, differentiation, and migration. EGFR is also a significant driver of tumorigenesis and development; most tumors exhibit overexpression or genetic alterations of EGFR and its ligands. Drugs that inhibit EGFR signaling pathway activation, including monoclonal antibodies and small molecule kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), have been widely used in the treatment of cancers such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, head and neck cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For most patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC (excluding those with primary EGFR-TKI resistance), the current standard of care is EGFR-TKIs. However, EGFR-TKI treatment inevitably leads to resistance. Studies have shown that amplification or overexpression of cellular-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (c-MET) has been well-established as a crucial mechanism for clinical resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Especially with the widespread use of the third-generation EGFR-TKI osimertinib, the number of c-MET-driven drug-resistant individuals is increasing.

[0004] c-MET can initiate downstream signaling pathways similar to EGFR; hepatocyte cytokine (HGF) is its only ligand, and the c-MET / HGF signaling axis plays an important role in regulating normal processes such as wound healing, tissue regeneration, and organ development. c-MET gene mutations or dysfunction are also driving factors in tumorigenesis and development. Numerous reports have shown that c-MET pathway abnormalities or dysregulation exist in various human cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, pancreatic cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and c-MET overexpression is negatively correlated with prognosis and survival in these indications. Clinical practice indicates that c-MET pathway activation is associated with resistance to anti-EGFR targeted therapy. When EGFR signaling is inhibited, the c-MET signaling pathway can act as an alternative pathway to EGFR in drug resistance mechanisms, thereby affecting the efficacy of EGFR monoclonal antibodies and TKI drugs.

[0005] Simultaneous inhibition of the EGFR and c-MET signaling pathways may be an effective strategy to combat c-MET-driven resistance. In clinical practice, amivantamab / rybrevant, as a dual-targeting drug that simultaneously inhibits the EGFR and c-MET signaling pathways, has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Current approved use includes: patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (patients with primary EGFR-TKI resistance); patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC whose disease has progressed during or after osimertinib treatment, in combination with chemotherapy; and patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC as first-line treatment in combination with the third-generation EGFR inhibitor lazertinib. However, for cancers where downstream gene alterations lead to persistent signal activation, such as Ras-mutant lung adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer, the killing mechanism based on signal pathway blocking has limited effectiveness; the EGFR monoclonal antibody Cetuximab is ineffective in treating Ras-mutant colorectal cancer patients, and ervantuximab has only been clinically explored in Ras wild-type colorectal cancer patients. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) exert their effects through the direct killing of cells by small molecule toxins, which may compensate for this deficiency.

[0006] ADCs combine the advantages of precise targeting by monoclonal antibodies and the efficient killing effect of a potent payload (cytotoxic drug), demonstrating enormous clinical therapeutic potential. Several ADC drugs have already been approved for marketing. In clinical practice, the EGFR and HER3 bispecific antibody ADC (BL-B01D1) has shown clear efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and esophageal cancer. The EGFR single-target ADC (MRG003) has also shown clear efficacy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and head and neck cancer, and the c-MET single-target ADC (ABBV-400) has shown clear efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer. This indicates that EGFR and c-MET are two well-validated drug targets, and EGFR and c-MET-based bispecific antibody ADCs may provide more patients with more effective treatment options. Furthermore, due to the limitation of the maximum tolerated dose of small molecule cytotoxic drugs, the clinical dosage of ADCs is lower than that of monoclonal antibodies. At the conventionally lower dosage of ADCs, the target-related toxicities exhibited by EGFR and c-MET bispecific antibodies such as Amivantamab at higher doses may be mitigated.

The heavy chain of the antibody containing the heavy chain variable region sequence and the CH1 sequence of the antigen-binding domain binding to c-Met employs a "knob" structure design, including amino acid substitutions at the S354C and T366W sites. The heavy chain containing the VHH domain that binds to EGFR employs a "hole" structure design, including amino acid substitutions at four sites: Y349C, T366S, L368A, and Y407V. To facilitate the removal of the "hole" structure dimer during purification, the "hole" heavy chain also undergoes H435R substitution. Preferably, to reduce the antibody's ADCC and other immune-related activities, the Fc segments of both heavy chains undergo amino acid substitutions (TM mutations) at L234F, L235E, and P331S. Preferably, the sequence of the "hole" heavy chain is shown in SEQ ID NO:3, the sequence of the "knob" heavy chain is shown in SEQ ID NO:4, and the light chain sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:5.

[0125] Terms and Explanations

[0126] Unless otherwise stated, the terms used herein have their general meanings within the technical field. A particular term or phrase should not be considered uncertain or unclear unless specifically defined, but should be understood in its ordinary sense. When trade names appear herein, they are intended to refer to the corresponding product or its active ingredient.

[0127] All publications, patents and patent applications mentioned in this specification are incorporated herein by reference as if specifically and individually indicated that each individual publication, patent or patent application is incorporated by reference.

[0128] Before this disclosure is described in detail below, it should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the specific methodologies, procedures, and reagents described herein, as these can vary. It should also be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0129] Some embodiments disclosed herein include numerical ranges, and certain aspects of this disclosure may be described using ranges. Unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that numerical ranges or descriptions using ranges are for purposes of brevity and convenience only and should not be considered as a strict limitation of the scope of this disclosure. Therefore, descriptions using ranges should be considered as specifically disclosing all possible subranges and all possible specific numerical points within those ranges, as these subranges and numerical points have been explicitly stated herein. For example, a description of a range from 1 to 6 should be considered as specifically disclosing subranges from 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 2 to 4, 2 to 6, 3 to 6, etc., and specific numerical points within those ranges, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The above principles apply equally regardless of the breadth of the numerical values. When a range description is used, the range includes the endpoints of the range.

[0130] When referring to measurable values ​​such as quantities, temporary durations, etc., the term “about” means a variation of ±20%, or in some cases ±10%, or in some cases ±5%, or in some cases ±1%, or in some cases ±0.1% of the specified value.

[0131] The three-letter and single-letter codes for amino acids used in this article are as described in J. BIOL. CHEM, 243, P3558 (1968).

[0132] As used herein, the term "anti-EGFR / C-MET bispecific antibody" or "anti-EGFR and C-MET bispecific antibody" refers to an antibody that can specifically bind to anti-EGFR and / or C-MET antibodies, or fragments thereof, with sufficient affinity.

[0133] As used in this article, the term "antibody" typically refers to a Y-type tetrameric protein comprising two heavy (H) polypeptide chains and two light (L) polypeptide chains held together by covalent disulfide bonds and non-covalent interactions. Natural IgG antibodies possess this structure. Each light chain consists of a light chain variable domain (VL) and a light chain constant domain (CL). Each heavy chain contains a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a heavy chain constant domain (CH), or heavy chain constant region (CH).

[0134] The term "antibody" in this article may include complete antibodies (e.g., full-length monoclonal antibodies) and any antigen-binding fragment (i.e., antigen-binding part) or its single chain, and may also include products with antigen-specific binding ability formed by modifying complete antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments or their single chains (e.g., linking other peptides, rearranging functional units, etc.).

[0135] Five main classes of antibodies are known in this art: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, with their corresponding heavy chain constant domains designated α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, respectively. IgG and IgA can be further subdivided into different subclasses; for example, IgG can be divided into IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4, and IgA into IgA1 and IgA2. The light chain of antibodies from any vertebrate species can be identified as one of two distinctly different types based on the amino acid sequence of their constant domains, termed κ and λ.

[0136] In the case of IgG, IgA, and IgD antibodies, this heavy chain constant region contains three domains called CH1, CH2, and CH3 (IgM and IgE have a fourth domain, CH4). In the IgG, IgA, and IgD classes, the CH1 and CH2 domains are separated by a flexible hinge region, which is a variable-length segment rich in proline and cysteine. Each class of antibody further contains interchain and intrachain disulfide bonds formed by paired cysteine ​​residues.

[0137] The term "variable region" or "variable domain" indicates a significant change in the amino acid composition from one antibody to another and is primarily responsible for antigen recognition and binding. The variable region of each light / heavy chain pair forms the antigen-binding site, giving the complete IgG antibody two binding sites (i.e., it is bivalent). The variable region (VH) of the heavy chain and the variable region (VL) of the light chain each contain three regions with extreme variability, referred to as hypervariable regions (HVR), or more commonly, complementarity-determining regions (CDR). Each VH and VL has four backbone regions (FR), denoted as FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4, respectively. Therefore, the CDR and FR sequences typically appear in the following sequence of the heavy chain variable domain (VH) (or light chain variable domain (VL)): FR1-HCDR1(LCDR1)-FR2-HCDR2(LCDR2)-FR3-HCDR3(LCDR3)-FR4.

[0138] The term "Fc" is used herein to define the C-terminal region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain, which comprises at least a portion of the constant region. This term includes both native sequence Fc regions and variant Fc regions. Unless otherwise stated, the amino acid residues in the Fc region or constant region are numbered according to the EU numbering system, also known as the EU index, as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, 1991.

[0139] As used herein, the broad category of "antibody" may include polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies and primate-derived antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies, human antibodies (including recombinant human antibodies), recombinant antibodies, intracellular antibodies, multispecific antibodies, bispecific antibodies, monovalent antibodies, multivalent antibodies, anti-individual genotype antibodies, synthetic antibodies (including mutant proteins and their variants), etc.

[0140] The terms “full-length antibody,” “complete antibody,” and “intact antibody” may be used interchangeably in this document to refer to antibodies whose structure is substantially similar to that of natural antibodies or that contain the FC region.

[0141] The term "monoclonal antibody" (or "mAb") refers to a substantially homogeneous antibody produced from a single cell clone that targets only a specific antigenic epitope. Monoclonal antibodies can be prepared using a variety of techniques known in the art, including hybridoma technology, recombinant technology, phage display technology, transgenic animals, synthetic technology, or combinations of the above.

[0142] The term "chimeric antibody" refers to an antibody in which the variable region is derived from one species and the constant region is derived from another species, such as an antibody in which the variable region is derived from a mouse antibody and the constant region is derived from a human antibody.

[0143] The term "humanized antibody" refers to a hybrid immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin chain, or fragment thereof containing a minimal sequence derived from a non-human immunoglobulin. In most cases, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (receptor antibodies) where residues of the receptor's core sequence (CDR) are replaced by residues of a CDR from a non-human species (donor antibody) possessing the desired specificity, affinity, and performance, such as mice, rats, rabbits, or primates. In some cases, framework region residues of the human immunoglobulin are replaced by corresponding non-human residues. In certain circumstances, "reversion mutations" can be introduced into humanized antibodies where residues in one or more frame regions (FRs) of the variable region of the recipient human antibody are replaced by corresponding residues from a non-human species donor antibody. Such reversion mutations can help maintain the appropriate three-dimensional conformation of one or more grafted CDRs and thus improve affinity and antibody stability. Antibodies from a variety of donor species can be used, including but not limited to mice, rats, rabbits, or non-human primates. Additionally, humanized antibodies may contain novel residues not found in the recipient antibody or the donor antibody to further improve antibody performance.

[0144] It should be noted that the division of the CDR and FR in the variable region of the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein is determined according to the Kabat definition. Other nomenclature and numbering systems, such as Chothia, IMGT, or AHo, are also known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, humanized antibodies containing one or more CDRs derived from any nomenclature system based on the monoclonal antibody sequence of this disclosure are explicitly kept within the scope of this disclosure.

[0145] The terms "sequence identity," "sequence similarity," or "sequence homology" refer to the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical to those in a reference polypeptide sequence after aligning the sequences (and, where necessary, introducing gaps) to obtain the maximum percentage sequence identity, without considering any conserved substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Sequence alignment can be performed using various methods in the art to determine the percentage amino acid sequence identity, for example, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, or MEGALIGN (DNASTAR) software. Those skilled in the art can determine suitable parameters for measuring the alignment, including any algorithm required to obtain the maximum alignment of the full length of the sequences being compared.

[0146] The term "antibody fragment" includes at least a portion of a complete antibody. As used herein, a "fraction" of an antibody molecule includes an "antigen-binding fragment" of the antibody, and the term "antigen-binding fragment" refers to a polypeptide fragment of an immunoglobulin or antibody that specifically binds to or reacts with a selected antigen or its epitope, or a fusion protein product further derived from such fragment, or a product conjugated with other compounds, such as a single-chain antibody, an extracellular binding region in a chimeric antigen receptor, etc. Exemplary antibody fragments or their antigen-binding fragments include, but are not limited to: variable light chain fragments (VL), variable heavy chain fragments (VH), Fab fragments, F(ab')2 fragments, Fd fragments, Fv fragments, single-domain antibodies, linear antibodies, single-chain antibodies (scFv), and bispecific or multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments, etc.

[0147] The term "Fab" or "Fab fragment" includes the variable regions of the heavy chain and the light chain, and also includes the constant region of the light chain and the first constant region CH1 of the heavy chain, which is a monovalent antibody fragment. The term "F(ab')2 fragment" contains two Fab fragments and a hinge region, which is a bivalent antibody fragment.

[0148] The term "Fd fragment" generally includes the heavy chain variable region and the constant region CH1; the term "Fv fragment" contains the antibody heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region, but no constant region, and is the smallest antibody fragment with all antigen binding sites.

[0149] The term "scFv" refers to a fusion protein comprising at least one antibody fragment including a variable region of a light chain and at least one antibody fragment including a variable region of a heavy chain, wherein the light and heavy chain variable regions are adjacent (e.g., via a synthetic linker, such as a short, flexible peptide linker) and are capable of being expressed as a single-chain polypeptide, and wherein the scFv retains the specificity of the intact antibody from which it originates. Unless otherwise specified, the scFv may have the VL and VH variable regions in any order (e.g., relative to the N-terminus and C-terminus of the polypeptide), and the scFv may comprise VL-linker-VH or may comprise VH-linker-VL.

[0150] The term "fusion protein" refers to a larger molecule formed by linking different polypeptides / proteins together through genetic recombination or chemical methods. Linkers can be used for this linking, or not.

[0151] The term "multispecific antibody" refers to a novel antibody construct formed by functionally linking an antibody to one or more other binding molecules (e.g., chemical conjugation, gene fusion, non-covalent binding, or other methods) to bind to two or more different sites and / or targets. Among these, "bispecific antibody" is more commonly used, specifically referring to an antibody construct that is specific to two different antigens. Typically, bispecific or multispecific antibodies include at least two antigen-binding domains.

[0152] The term "antigen" refers to a substance that is recognized and specifically bound by an antibody or its antigen-binding fragment. In a broad sense, an antigen can include any immunogenic fragment or determinant of a selected target, including single epitopes, multiple epitopes, single domains, multiple domains, or intact extracellular domains (ECDs) or proteins. Peptides, proteins, glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and lipids, as well as portions thereof, can constitute antigens. Non-limiting exemplary antigens include tumor antigens or pathogen antigens, etc. "Antigen" can also refer to a molecule that elicits an immune response. Any form of antigen, or cells or preparations containing that antigen, can be used to generate antibodies specific to the antigenic determinant. An antigen can be an isolated full-length protein, a cell surface protein (e.g., used for immunization with cells expressing at least a portion of the antigen on their surface), or a soluble protein (e.g., used for immunization with only the ECD portion of the protein), or a protein construct (e.g., an Fc antigen). The antigen can be produced in genetically modified cells. Any of the foregoing antigens can be used alone or in combination with one or more immunogenic adjuvants known in the art. The DNA encoding the antigen can be genomic or non-genomic (e.g., cDNA) and can encode at least a portion of the ECD sufficient to elicit an immunogenic response. Any vector can be used to transform cells expressing the antigen, including but not limited to adenoviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, plasmids, and non-viral vectors such as cationic lipids.

[0153] The term "epitope," also known as an "antigenic determinant," refers to a site on an antigen that specifically binds to an immunoglobulin or antibody. Epitopes can be formed from adjacent amino acids or from non-adjacent amino acids arranged side-by-side through the ternary folding of a protein. Epitopes formed from adjacent amino acids are typically retained after exposure to denaturing solvents, while epitopes formed through ternary folding are typically lost after treatment with denaturing solvents. Epitopes typically consist of 3–15 amino acid residues. Methods for determining the epitope bound to a given antibody are well known in the art, including immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation assays. Methods for determining the spatial conformation of an epitope include techniques in the art and those described herein, such as X-ray crystallography and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance.

[0154] The terms “polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein to refer to polymers of amino acids of any length. Polymers may be linear, cyclic, or branched, may contain modified amino acids, particularly conserved modified amino acids, and may be interrupted by non-amino acid components. The term also includes amino acid polymers that have been modified, for example, by glycosylation, esterification, acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, or any other manipulation such as conjugation with a labeled component. As used herein, the term “amino acid” refers to natural and / or non-natural or synthetic amino acids, including glycine and its D or L optical isomers, as well as amino acid analogs and peptide mimics. “Derived from” a specified protein refers to the source of the polypeptide. The term also includes polypeptides expressed by a specified nucleic acid sequence.

[0155] The term "amino acid modification" (or "modified amino acid") includes amino acid substitutions, insertions, and / or deletions in a polypeptide sequence. "Amino acid substitution" or "replacement" means replacing an amino acid at a specific position in the parent polypeptide sequence with another amino acid. For example, substitution of S32A means that the serine at position 32 is replaced by alanine.

[0156] The sequence identity or homology between the variable region of the humanized antibody and the variable region of the human receptor can be determined as discussed herein, and when such a determination is made, preferably at least 60% or 65% sequence identity will be shared, more preferably at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, or 90% sequence identity, and even more preferably at least 93%, 95%, 98%, or 99% sequence identity. Preferably, the different residue positions are due to conserved amino acid substitutions. A “conserved substitution” is an amino acid substitution in which one amino acid residue is replaced by another amino acid residue with a side chain (R group) having similar chemical properties (e.g., charge or hydrophobicity). Generally, conserved amino acid substitutions do not substantially alter the functional properties of the protein. Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine), β-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine). Therefore, one or more amino acid residues in the CDR region or frame region of the disclosed antibody can be replaced with amino acid residues of other similar side chains. In cases where two or more amino acid sequences differ from each other due to conserved substitutions, the sequence identity percentage or degree of similarity can be adjusted upwards to correct for the conservatism of the substitution.

[0157] During monoclonal antibody production, various physicochemical factors can easily generate post-translational modification (PTM) variants, such as glycosylation, oxidation, glycation, deamidation, isomerization, and terminal cyclization. These PTMs can cause changes in the physicochemical properties of antibodies, alter their interaction with the antibody Fc receptor, and affect their binding activity to the target antigen. Some PTMs can even reduce antibody stability and induce immunogenicity (JARASCH et al., JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, 2015). The negative effects of PTMs can be eliminated by modifying the amino acid sites, such as through conserved substitutions. Amino acid substitutions of antibody CDRs for the purpose of modifying PTMs are also explicitly kept within the scope of this disclosure.

[0158] The antibodies disclosed herein may also include substitutions or modifications to constant regions (e.g., Fc), including but not limited to amino acid residue substitutions, mutations, and / or modifications, which produce compounds having preferred characteristics, including but not limited to: altered pharmacokinetics, increased serum half-life, increased binding affinity, decreased immunogenicity, increased yield, altered binding to Fc receptors (FcRs), enhanced or weakened ADCC or CDC, altered glycosylation and / or disulfide bonds, and modified binding specificity.

[0159] The term "affinity" or "binding affinity" refers to the strength of the sum of all non-covalent interactions between a single binding site of a molecule (e.g., an antibody) and its binding partner (e.g., an antigen). The term "KD" refers to the dissociation constant of a specific antibody-antigen interaction. Binding affinity can be determined using a variety of techniques known in the art, such as surface plasmon resonance, biolayer interferometry, bipolar interferometry, static light scattering, dynamic light scattering, isothermal titration calorimetry, ELISA, analytical ultracentrifugation, and flow cytometry.

[0160] The term "pharmaceutical composition" refers to a formulation or combination of formulations containing one, two, or more active ingredients, wherein the active ingredients contained herein are present in a biologically effective form and do not contain any additional ingredients that would have unacceptable toxicity to a subject administering the formulation. When a "pharmaceutical composition" exists as a combination of individual formulations containing two or more different active ingredients, it can be administered simultaneously, sequentially, separately, or at intervals, with the aim of exerting the biological activity of multiple active ingredients together for the treatment of a disease.

[0161] The term "antibody-drug conjugate" (ADC) refers to an antibody covalently conjugated to a therapeutic active substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), thereby enabling the therapeutic active substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to target the antibody's binding target to exhibit its pharmacological function. The therapeutic active substance or active pharmaceutical ingredient can be a cytotoxic agent capable of killing cells targeted by the ADC, preferably malignant or cancerous cells. The covalent linking of the therapeutic active substance, active pharmaceutical ingredient, or cytotoxic agent can be performed in a non-site-specific manner using standard chemical linkers that conjugate the payload to lysine or cysteine ​​residues, or preferably, the conjugation is performed in a site-specific manner, which allows complete control over the conjugation site and the drug-to-antibody ratio of the resulting ADC.

[0162] The term “pharmaceutical carrier” or “pharmaceuticalally acceptable carrier” refers to a diluent, adjuvant (e.g., Freund’s adjuvant (complete and incomplete)), excipient, or medium that is administered with a therapeutic agent.

[0163] The term "effective dose" refers to a dosage of a pharmaceutical formulation of the antibody or its antigen-binding fragment disclosed herein, which, when administered to a patient in a single or multiple doses, produces the intended effect in the treated patient. The effective dose can be readily determined by an attending physician skilled in the art by considering a variety of factors, such as: racial differences; weight, age, and health status; the specific disease involved; the severity of the disease; the individual patient's response; the specific antibody administered; the administration modality; the bioavailability characteristics of the administered formulation; the chosen dosing regimen; and the use of any concomitant therapies.

[0164] The terms “host cell,” “host cell line,” and “host cell culture” are used interchangeably and refer to cells in which exogenous nucleic acids have been introduced, including the progeny of such cells. Host cells include “transformers” and “transformed cells,” which include the primary transformed cells and their progeny, regardless of the number of passages. Progeny may not be identical to the parent cells in terms of nucleic acid content and may contain mutations. This document includes mutant progeny that have the same function or biological activity as those screened or selected in the initially transformed cells.

[0165] As used in this article, the term "transfection" refers to the introduction of exogenous nucleic acids into eukaryotic cells. Transfection can be achieved through a variety of techniques known in the art, including calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation, DEAE-dextran-mediated transfection, polybrene-mediated transfection, electroporation, microinjection, liposome fusion, lipid transfection, protoplast fusion, retroviral infection, and biolistics.

[0166] The term "stable transfection" or "stable transformation" refers to the introduction and integration of exogenous nucleic acids, DNA, or RNA into the genome of transfected cells. The term "stable transfectant" refers to a cell in which foreign DNA is stably integrated into the genomic DNA.

[0167] The terms "isolated polynucleotide" or "isolated nucleic acid" refer to nucleic acid molecules, DNA, or RNA that have been removed from their natural environment. For example, for the purposes of this disclosure, a recombinant polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide contained in a vector is considered isolated. Other examples of isolated polynucleotides include recombinant polynucleotides maintained in a heterologous host cell or (partially or substantially) purified polynucleotides in solution. Isolated polynucleotides include polynucleotide molecules contained in cells that normally contain such polynucleotide molecules, but which are present outside the chromosome or at a chromosomal location other than their natural chromosomal location. Isolated RNA molecules include in vivo or in vitro RNA transcripts of this disclosure, as well as positive-stranded, negative-stranded, and double-stranded forms.

[0168] The terms "nucleic acid molecule encoding," "encoding DNA sequence," and "encoding DNA" refer to the sequence of deoxyribonucleotides along a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) chain. This sequence of deoxyribonucleotides determines the sequence of amino acids along a polypeptide (protein) chain. Therefore, a nucleic acid sequence encodes an amino acid sequence.

[0169] Methods for producing and purifying antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are well-known and available in the prior art, such as in Cold Spring Harbor's Guide to Antibody Laboratory Techniques, Chapters 5-8 and 15. The antibodies or antigen-binding fragments described in this invention are genetically engineered to add one or more human FR regions to a non-human CDR region. Human FR germline sequences are available from the ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) website http: / / imgt.cines.fr or from the journal Immunoglobulins, (2001) ISBN: 012441351.

[0170] The engineered antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof disclosed herein can be prepared and purified using conventional methods. For example, cDNA sequences encoding the heavy and light chains can be cloned and recombined into expression vectors. Recombinant immunoglobulin expression vectors can stably transfect CHO cells. As a more preferred prior art, mammalian expression systems lead to glycosylation of the antibody, particularly at the highly conserved N-terminus of the Fc region. Stable clones are obtained by expressing antibodies that specifically bind to human antigens. Positive clones are scaled up in serum-free medium in a bioreactor to produce antibodies. Cultures secreting antibodies can be purified and collected using conventional techniques. Antibodies can be concentrated by filtration using conventional methods. Soluble mixtures and polymers can also be removed using conventional methods, such as molecular sieving and ion exchange.

[0171] As used herein, the terms “individual” or “subject” refer to any animal, such as a mammal or marsupial. Individuals disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, humans, non-human primates (such as cynomolgus monkeys or rhesus monkeys or other types of macaques), mice, pigs, horses, donkeys, cattle, sheep, rats, and any kind of poultry.

[0172] As used herein, the terms “disease,” “symptom,” or “disorder,” etc., refer to any alteration or dysregulation that impairs or interferes with the normal function of cells, tissues, or organs. For example, “disease” includes, but is not limited to: tumors, pathogen infections, autoimmune diseases, T-cell dysfunction disorders, or deficiencies in immune tolerance (such as transplant rejection).

[0173] As used in this article, the term "treatment" refers to a clinical intervention in an attempt to alter an individual's or treat a disease caused by cells, which can be preventative or intervention in a clinicopathological process. Treatment effects include, but are not limited to, preventing the onset or recurrence of disease, alleviating symptoms, reducing any direct or indirect pathological consequences of the disease, preventing metastasis, slowing the rate of disease progression, improving or alleviating the condition, and alleviating or improving prognosis.

[0174] As used herein, the term "combination" refers to a treatment regimen that provides at least two or more different therapies to achieve a specified therapeutic effect. These therapies can be physical, such as radiation therapy, or chemical, such as administering a drug to the subject, including combination drugs. "Combination drugs" refers to a combination of two or more pharmaceutical preparations, each containing an active ingredient, that are administered to a subject in combination. The active ingredients may be mixed together to form a single dosing unit or may be administered separately as independent dosing units; during administration, the different pharmaceutical preparations may be administered substantially synchronously, simultaneously, or sequentially.

[0175] In any embodiment of the compound of formula I disclosed herein, when R1 and R2 are cyclized to -O-(CH2) m When -O-, the compound of formula I is the compound of formula I-1 as follows. In the compound of formula I disclosed herein, or in any embodiment thereof, when R3 and R4 are cyclized to -(CH2) k - When, it is presented in the form of I-2 as follows.

[0176] In the compound of formula I disclosed herein, This means that the linker L can be chemically bonded to any linkable site of the warhead drug molecule D in Formula I (in which case a hydrogen atom is removed from the linking site of the warhead drug molecule D), as long as it is chemically feasible and can yield a robust drug.

[0177] Those skilled in the art will understand that in Formula I, Ia, Ib, Ic, Id, Ia-1, Ia-2, Ib-1, or specific compounds thereof disclosed herein, the linker L or its corresponding specific structure is connected to Ab via a sulfur atom from Ab. This sulfur atom S may be embodied in the structural or chemical formula of L or L1, or it may be omitted, hidden, or not embodied. For example It can also be written as Both represent the same structure and meaning; It can also be written as It can be written as It can also be written as Other L1 segments can be understood in the same way.

[0178] The term "warhead drug molecule," also known as "load," "loaded drug," or simply "payload," refers to a substance with preventative or therapeutic effects against diseases. In antibody-drug conjugates, the drug typically refers to a cytotoxic drug, a chemical molecule that can strongly disrupt the normal growth of tumor cells.

[0179] The term "linker" refers to a chemical structural segment or bond that is connected to a ligand at one end and to a drug at the other end. It can also be connected to other linkers before being linked to a drug.

[0374] Example 31 Construction and expression of anti-EGFR / c-MET bispecific antibody

[0375] The structure of the 2+2 bispecific antibody disclosed herein is constructed as follows: A human c-MET binding domain is linked to the C-terminus of the heavy chain of the full-length anti-human EGFR antibody via a linker peptide shown in SEQ ID NO:10. An amino acid peptide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:8 is added to the end of the c-MET binding domain to eliminate the risk of binding to pre-existing anti-drug antibodies. To reduce the antibody's ADCC and other immune-related activities, amino acid substitutions (TM mutations) of L234F, L235E, and P331S are performed in the Fc segment. The full-length heavy chain sequence of the 2+2 bispecific antibody (M-06C12-PTM) is shown in SEQ ID NO:1, and the light chain sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:2.

[0376] The disclosed 1+1 bispecific antibody (1+1 bispecific antibody) consists of two heterologous heavy chains and one light chain, with no light chain mismatch. The heavy chain containing the c-MET binding domain employs a "knob" structure design, including amino acid substitutions at the S354C and T366W sites. The heavy chain containing the EGFR-binding VHH domain employs a "hole" structure design, including amino acid substitutions at the Y349C, T366S, L368A, and Y407V sites. To facilitate purification and removal of the "hole" structure dimer, the "hole" heavy chain also undergoes H435R substitution. To reduce the antibody's ADCC and other immune-related activities, the Fc segments of both heavy chains undergo amino acid substitutions at L234F, L235E, and P331S (TM mutation). The sequence of the "hole" heavy chain of the 1+1 bispecific antibody (T-E6-H6-TM) is shown in SEQ ID NO:3, the sequence of the "knob" heavy chain is shown in SEQ ID NO:4, and the light chain sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:5.

[0381] Example 32-1 Analysis Method of ADC

[0382] 1. Determination of ADC DAR value using reversed-phase chromatography (RP-UPLC). Sample preparation: Sample concentration 0.1–0.5 mg / mL, completely reduced with excess DTT; Instrumentation: Waters Acquity H-Class UPLC; Column: Waters BioResolve™ RP mAb polyphenyl, 2.7 μm, 4.6 × 100 mm; Mobile phase A: 0.1% TFA water; Mobile phase B: 0.1% TFA acetonitrile; Flow rate: 0.3 mL / min; Detection wavelength: 280 nm & 360 nm; Column temperature: 60–90 °C; Sample loading volume: 5 μL; RP elution method: Under equilibrium conditions, phase B increases from ~30% to ~50% within 30 minutes.

[0383] RP-UPLC data analysis: By comparing the spectra of the sample with those of the bare antibody, the positions of the light and heavy chains are distinguished. Then, the spectrum of the tested sample is integrated to calculate the DAR value.

[0384] The calculation formula is as follows:

[0385] Table 4

[0386] Total LC peak area = LC peak area + LC+1 peak area

[0387] Total HC peak area = HC peak area + HC+1 peak area + HC+2 peak area + HC+3 peak area

[0388] LC DAR = Σ(number of linked drugs * percentage of peak area) / total LC peak area

[0389] HC DAR = Σ(number of linked drugs * percentage of peak area) / total HC peak area

[0390] DAR = LC DAR + HC DAR

[0391] Where LC represents a light chain; LC+1 represents a light chain with one connector-load; HC represents a heavy chain; HC+1 represents a heavy chain with one connector-load; HC+2 represents a heavy chain with two connector-loads; HC+3 represents a heavy chain with three connector-loads.

Determination of ADC purity by size exclusion chromatography-HPLC: Sample preparation: Sample concentration 1.0-5 mg / mL, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane; Instrumentation: Agilent 1260 Infinity II Bio-Inert LC System; Column: TOSOH, TSKgel G3000SWxL, 5 μm, 7.8 mm × 300 mm; Mobile phase: 0.2 M PB, 5-15% isopropanol, pH 7.0; Flow rate: 0.5-1 mL / min; Detection wavelength: 280 nm & 360 nm; Column temperature: room temperature; Sample loading: 30 μg; SEC elution method: isocratic elution.

[0393] In this disclosure, PB refers to sodium phosphate buffer solution with disodium hydrogen phosphate (DHP) as the main component. DHP-DHP buffer solutions with different pH values ​​are typically prepared using sodium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate solutions of the same concentration.

Each group received a single injection of a sample (Formulation A: 5% DMSO + 95% (15% sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin-physiological saline), diluted according to the dosage). Plasma samples were collected at cross-collection points before administration and at 5 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 10 h, and 24 h after administration.

[0433] Experimental results show that the loaded compound disclosed herein has good plasma stability.

[0434] 5. Repeated-dose toxicity test of the loading compound used in the ADC of this disclosure in rats.

[0435] Preparation of test sample: Weigh the test sample into a glass bottle according to the predetermined weight; first add 1 mL DMSO and mix well. After the test sample dissolves, add 1 mL Solutol HS-15 and mix well. Then add 8 mL sodium chloride injection and vortex mix well to obtain a clear and transparent solution.

[0436] SD rats (purchased from Vital River Pharmaceuticals, Beijing) were used as test animals. Compound 2 and the positive control Dxd were administered via tail vein injection for 7 consecutive days. Two doses of compound 2 and the positive control Dxd were set at 0.3 mg / kg and 1.0 mg / kg respectively. During the acclimatization period, cage-side observation was conducted once daily; during the drug administration period, all animals were clinically observed twice daily, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Responses were recorded to various sites including skin, coat, eyes (sclera), ears, nose, mouth, chest, abdomen, urogenital tract, and limbs, as well as to changes in respiration, movement, urination, defecation (urine and fecal color, etc.) and behavior. Daily weight data for the main experimental group was recorded; for animals scheduled for dissection, their final weight was measured before dissection (after fasting). Food intake was also recorded.

[0439] The above experimental data demonstrate that the loading compound 2 used in the ADC of this disclosure has lower in vivo toxicity and better in vivo safety compared to the positive control Dxd.

[0440] 6. Affinity analysis of anti-EGFR / c-MET bispecific antibodies with FcγRs (FcγRIa, FcγRIIIa(F), FcγRIIIa(V))

[0441] Deactivating the immune-related function of the Fc receptor (Fc silencing) is an effective way to reduce the uptake of ADC drugs by immune cells, and is expected to improve load-induced hematologic toxicity and gastrointestinal reactions. Therefore, the Fc fragment of the EGFR / c-MET bispecific antibody disclosed in this paper has undergone amino acid substitutions (TM mutations) of L234F, L235E, and P331S to remove the binding of Fc to Fcγ receptors. To evaluate the effect of Fc silencing, the binding activity of TM-mutated naked antibodies and non-TM-mutated naked antibodies to different Fcγ receptors was detected using the SPR method.

[0442] FcγRIa was captured on the experimental channels of the chip using His capture. The bispecific antibody samples were diluted to their highest concentrations with running buffer (due to significant differences in affinity for FcγRIa among different samples, M-06C12-PTM and T-E6-H6 were diluted to a maximum concentration of 20 nM, and M-06C12-PTM and T-E6-H6-TM samples were diluted to a maximum concentration of 500 nM). Six serial dilutions were then performed, and samples of different concentrations were sequentially passed through the reference and experimental channels for binding and dissociation. The binding time was 180 s, and the dissociation time was 300 s. Finally, regeneration was achieved with 50 mM HCl. The resulting multi-concentration kinetic curves were analyzed using a 1:1 binding model.

[0443] The binding of FcγRIIIa(F) was carried out in a similar manner. FcγRIIIa(F) (0.6 μg / ml) was first captured in the experimental channel using the His tag capture method. Then, serially diluted antibody (concentration 3200-100 nM) was injected into the reference channel and the experimental channel. Binding was performed for 90 s, dissociation for 100 s, and regeneration was carried out with 50 mM HCl.

[0444] Similarly, FcγRIIIa(V) (0.15 μg / ml) was captured in the experimental channel using the His capture method. Then, serially diluted antibody (concentration 3200–100 nM) was injected into the reference and experimental channels. Binding was performed for 90 s, dissociation for 100 s, and regeneration was carried out with 50 mM HCl.

[0445] The experimental results are shown in Table 12: The naked antibody with TM mutation did not bind significantly to FcγRIa, FcγRIIIa(F), and FcγRIIIa(V), while the naked antibody without TM mutation bound to the above three receptors.

[0446] Table 12. Naked antibodies against TM mutations showed no significant binding to FcγRs (FcγRIa, FcγRIIIa(F), FcγRIIIa(V)).

[0447] 7. Bispecific antibody ADC in vitro cell binding activity

[0448] Materials sourced from: HCC-827, Cell Resource Center, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences; H1975, Cell Resource Center, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences; KYSE30, Nanjing Kebai Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; EBC-1, Nanjing Kebai Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0449] FACS was used to detect the binding activity of bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) and naked antibody to cells. Four different expression types of tumor cells were selected for binding activity detection: HCC827 (EGFR c-MET co-high expression, EGFR>c-MET), H1975 (EGFR c-MET co-low expression), KYSE30 (EGFR mono-high expression, EGFR>>c-MET), and EBC-1 (c-MET high expression, c-MET>EGFR).

[0450] Cells were collected and resuspended in FACS buffer (PBS + 1% BSA + 0.5mM EDTA). After adjusting the cell concentration, cells were added to 96-well plates at a density of 1E5 cells per well. Then, serially diluted antibodies were added at pre-set concentrations. After incubation at 4°C for 1 hour on a shaker, the cells were washed twice by centrifugation with FACS buffer. Then, 100 μL of fluorescently labeled anti-human IgG secondary antibody was added to each well. After incubation at 4°C for 1 hour on a shaker, the cells were washed twice by centrifugation with FACS buffer and filtered into new 96-well plates. The prepared samples were then analyzed using flow cytometry. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) for each concentration was calculated using software, and the half-maximal binding concentration (EC50) was calculated using GraphPad software. 50 The results of the highest average fluorescence intensity (Top MFI) are shown in Table 13.

[0451] Table 13. Binding activity of bispecific antibody ADCs to cells.

[0452] Experimental results showed that both types of bispecific antibody ADCs had cell-binding activity that was essentially equivalent to that of naked antibodies.

[0453] 8. Bispecific antibody ADC in vitro cell-killing activity

[0454] In this experiment, the aim was to evaluate the in vitro potency of EGFR / c-MET bispecific ADCs by measuring IC50. 50IMAX was used to evaluate its in vitro activity. Four cell types were selected for cell killing activity assay: HCC827 (EGFR / c-MET co-high expression, EGFR>c-MET), KYSE30 (EGFR single high expression, EGFR>>c-MET), EBC-1 (c-MET high expression, c-MET>EGFR), and HACAT (immortalized normal skin cells).

[0455] Cells were digested with trypsin, neutralized with fresh culture medium, centrifuged at 1000 rpm, resuspended in culture medium, and counted. For HCC827 and EBC-1 cells, 1000 cells / well were added to each 96-well cell culture plate; for KYSE30 and HACAT cells, 800 cells / well were added. In all 96-well plates, column 11 was left uncoated with culture medium only, and cultured at 37°C for 16 h in 5% CO2. The highest ADC concentration was 200 nM, serially diluted 5-fold (9 concentrations total), incubated at 37°C for 5 days in 5% CO2. 70 μL CTG was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at room temperature in the dark for 10 minutes. A white backing membrane was attached to the bottom of the cell culture plate, chemiluminescence was read, and data were processed. The results are shown in Table 14 and Figures 3-6.

[0456] Table 14. Cell-killing activity of bispecific antibody ADCs Note: " / " indicates that no inhibitory effect was detected;

[0457] The above results indicate that the two bispecific antibody ADCs disclosed herein exhibit superior cytotoxic activity against cells expressing different cell types compared to the control molecule AZD9592. Their cytotoxicity against normal cells is weaker, and their in vitro therapeutic window is superior to that of AZD9592 and BL-B01D1.

[0458] 9. In vivo efficacy study of anti-EGFR / c-MET bispecific antibody ADC

[0459] This disclosure selects four models for in vivo drug efficacy evaluation: HCC827 co-high expression CDX model, FaDu EGFR single high expression CDX model, EBC-1 high expression CDX model, and H1975 (L858R / T790M / C797S) co-low expression - third-generation EGFR-TKI osimertinib resistance CDX model (purchased from Kangyuan Bochuang Biotechnology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.); Figure 7 shows the IHC staining results performed according to the standard procedure.

[0460] The above-mentioned cells were seeded subcutaneously in the right rib area of ​​Balb / c nude mice, and the average tumor volume was approximately 200 mm. 3The mice were then divided into groups of 6-8 model mice. Each group received a single intravenous dose of ADC (0.1 mL / 10 g) per mouse. Daily behavioral monitoring was conducted for 24 days. Throughout the experiment, the long and wide diameters of the tumor were measured twice weekly using calipers, and the tumor volume (mm²) was also measured. 3 = 0.5 × (tumor long diameter × tumor short diameter) 2 The relative tumor inhibition rate (TGI%) was calculated as follows: TGI% = (1 - T / C) × 100%. T / C% represents the relative tumor growth rate, which is the percentage of tumor volume or weight in the treatment group and the PBS control group at a certain time point. T and C represent the tumor volume (TV) or tumor weight (TW) in the treatment group and the PBS control group at a specific time point, respectively. All data are expressed as Mean ± SEM. The student's t-test was used to compare whether there was a significant difference in tumor volume and weight between the treatment group and the control group, with p < 0.05 indicating a significant difference. Specific measurement results are shown in Table 15 and Figures 8-14.

[0461] Table 15. Coupled products obtained in this disclosure and their properties

[0462] The results are shown in Figures 8, 9, and 10. In the HCC827 co-expression of CDX model, all groups showed significant antitumor effects. As shown in Figure 8, at a single dose of 3 mg / kg, ADC-1 was more effective than AZD9592 in vivo.

[0463] As shown in Figure 11, in the CDX model of H1975 co-lower expression and osimertinib resistance, the third-generation EGFR-TKI osimertinib was ineffective at a daily dose of 10 mg / kg. Other ADC drugs all showed significant antitumor effects; at a single dose of 3 mg / kg molar concentration, the in vivo efficacy of ADC-1 was comparable to that of ADC-2, and the in vivo efficacy of the two bispecific antibody ADCs disclosed in this paper was superior to that of the positive controls AZD9592 and BL-B01D1.

[0464] As shown in Figure 12, in the FaDu EGFR-overexpressing CDX model, AZD9592 showed weak antitumor activity at a single dose of 1 mg / kg, while ADC-1 and ADC-2 exhibited significant antitumor activity, with ADC-1 showing better in vivo efficacy than ADC-2. As shown in Figure 13, at a single dose of 3 mg / kg, ADC-1 showed better in vivo efficacy than BL-B01D1.

[0465] As shown in Figure 14, in the CDX model with EBC-1 / c-MET predominant expression, at a single dose of 1 mg / kg, the in vivo efficacy of the two bispecific antibody ADCs disclosed herein was superior to the positive control AZD9592, and also superior to the higher dose of BL-B01D1.
