DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0028] While preferred embodiments of the present invention have
been shown and described herein, it will be obvious to those
skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of
example only. Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions will
now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the
invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the
embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed in
practicing the invention. It is intended that the following claims
define the scope of the invention and that methods and structures
within the scope of these claims and their equivalents be covered
thereby
Certain Definitions
[0029] 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."
[0030] The term "about" or "approximately" means within an
acceptable error range for the particular value as determined by
one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how
the value is measured or determined, e.g., the limitations of the
measurement system. For example, "about" can mean within 1 or more
than 1 standard deviation, per the practice in the given value.
Where particular values are described in the application and
claims, unless otherwise stated the term "about" should be assumed
to mean an acceptable error range for the particular value.
[0031] The terms "individual," "patient," or "subject" are used
interchangeably. None of the terms require or are limited to
situation characterized by the supervision (e.g. constant or
intermittent) of a health care worker (e.g. a doctor, a registered
nurse, a nurse practitioner, a physician's assistant, an orderly,
or a hospice worker).
[0032] The term "Framework" or "FR" residues (or regions) refer to
variable domain residues other than the CDR or hypervariable region
residues as herein defined. A "human consensus framework" is a
framework which represents the most commonly occurring amino acid
residue in a selection of human immunoglobulin VL or VH framework
sequences.
[0033] As used herein, "Variable region" or "variable domain"
refers to the fact that certain portions of the variable domains
differ extensively in sequence among antibodies and are used in the
binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its
particular antigen. However, the variability is not evenly
distributed throughout the variable domains of antibodies. It is
concentrated in three segments called complementarity-determining
regions (CDRs) or hypervariable regions both in the light-chain and
the heavy-chain variable domains. The more highly conserved
portions of variable domains are called the framework (FR). The
variable domains of native heavy and light chains each comprise
four FR regions, largely adopting a .beta.-sheet configuration,
connected by three CDRs, which form loops connecting, and in some
cases forming part of, the .beta. sheet structure. The CDRs in each
chain are held together in close proximity by the FR regions and,
with the CDRs from the other chain, contribute to the formation of
the antigen-binding site of antibodies (see Kabat et al., Sequences
of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, National
Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)). The constant domains
are not involved directly in binding an antibody to an antigen, but
exhibit various effector functions, such as participation of the
antibody in antibody-dependent cellular toxicity. "Variable domain
residue numbering as in Kabat" or "amino acid position numbering as
in Kabat," and variations thereof, refers to the numbering system
used for heavy chain variable domains or light chain variable
domains of the compilation of antibodies in Kabat et al., Sequences
of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health
Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991). Using
this numbering system, the actual linear amino acid sequence may
contain fewer or additional amino acids corresponding to a
shortening of, or insertion into, a FR or CDR of the variable
domain. For example, a heavy chain variable domain may include a
single amino acid insert (residue 52a according to Kabat) after
residue 52 of H2 and inserted residues (e.g., residues 82a, 82b,
and 82c, etc. according to Kabat) after heavy chain FR residue 82.
The Kabat numbering of residues may be determined for a given
antibody by alignment at regions of homology of the sequence of the
antibody with a "standard" Kabat numbered sequence. It is not
intended that CDRs of the present disclosure necessarily correspond
to the Kabat numbering convention.
[0034] 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
softwares 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.
[0035] As used herein, "elimination half-time" is used in its
ordinary sense, as is described in Goodman and Gillman's The
Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics 21-25 (Alfred Goodman Gilman,
Louis S. Goodman, and Alfred Gilman, eds., 6th ed. 1980). Briefly,
the term is meant to encompass a quantitative measure of the time
course of drug elimination. The elimination of most drugs is
exponential (i.e., follows first-order kinetics), since drug
concentrations usually do not approach those required for
saturation of the elimination process. The rate of an exponential
process may be expressed by its rate constant, k, which expresses
the fractional change per unit of time, or by its half-time,
t.sub.1/2 the time required for 50% completion of the process. The
units of these two constants are time.sup.-1 and time,
respectively. A first-order rate constant and the half-time of the
reaction are simply related (k.times.t.sub.1/2=0.693) and may be
interchanged accordingly. Since first-order elimination kinetics
dictates that a constant fraction of drug is lost per unit time, a
plot of the log of drug concentration versus time is linear at all
times following the initial distribution phase (i.e. after drug
absorption and distribution are complete). The half-time for drug
elimination can be accurately determined from such a graph.
[0036] As used herein, the term "binding affinity" refers to the
affinity of the proteins described in the disclosure to their
binding targets and is expressed numerically using "Kd" values. If
two or more proteins are indicated to have comparable binding
affinities towards their binding targets, then the Kd values for
binding of the respective proteins towards their binding targets,
are within .+-.2-fold of each other. If two or more proteins are
indicated to have comparable binding affinities towards single
binding target, then the Kd values for binding of the respective
proteins towards said single binding target, are within .+-.2-fold
of each other. If a protein is indicated to bind two or more
targets with comparable binding affinities, then the Kd values for
binding of said protein to the two or more targets are within
2-fold of each other. In general, a higher Kd value corresponds to
a weaker binding. In some embodiments, the "Kd" is measured by a
radiolabeled antigen binding assay (RIA) or surface plasmon
resonance assays using a BIAcore.TM.-2000 or a BIAcore.TM.-3000
(BIAcore, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.). In certain embodiments, an
"on-rate" or "rate of association" or "association rate" or "kon"
and an "off-rate" or "rate of dissociation" or "dissociation rate"
or "koff" are also determined with the surface plasmon resonance
technique using a BIAcore.TM.-2000 or a BIAcore.TM.-3000 (BIAcore,
Inc., Piscataway, N.J.). In additional embodiments, the "Kd",
"kon", and "koff" are measured using the OCTET.RTM. Systems (Pall
Life Sciences). In an exemplary method for measuring binding
affinity using the OCTET.RTM. Systems, the ligand, e.g.,
biotinylated human or cynomolgus PSMA, is immobilized on the
OCTET.RTM. streptavidin capillary sensor tip surface which
streptavidin tips are then activated according to manufacturer's
instructions using about 20-50 .mu.g/ml human or cynomolgus PSMA
protein. A solution of PBS/Casein is also introduced as a blocking
agent. For association kinetic measurements, PSMA binding protein
variants are introduced at a concentration ranging from about 10
.mu.g/ml to about 1000 .mu.g/ml. Complete dissociation is observed
in case of the negative control, assay buffer without the binding
proteins. The kinetic parameters of the binding reactions are then
determined using an appropriate tool, e.g., ForteBio software.
[0037] Described herein are PSMA binding proteins, pharmaceutical
compositions as well as nucleic acids, recombinant expression
vectors, and host cells for making such PSMA binding proteins. Also
provided are methods of using the disclosed PSMA binding proteins
in the prevention, and/or treatment of diseases, conditions and
disorders. The PSMA binding proteins are capable specifically
binding to PSMA. In some embodiments, the PSMA binding proteins
include additional domains, such as a CD3 binding domain.
Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) and its Role in Prostate
Conditions
[0038] Contemplated herein are prostate specific membrane antigen
binding proteins. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), also
known as glutamate carboxypeptidase II, N-acetyl-.alpha.-linked
acidic dipeptidase I [Naaladase (NLD) I], or folate hydrolase, is a
750-residue type II transmembrane glycoprotein that has been found
to be highly expressed in prostate cancer cells and in nonprostatic
solid tumor neovasculature and expressed at lower levels in other
tissues including healthy prostate, kidney, liver, small intestine,
small bowel, salivary gland, duodenal mucosa, proximal renal
tubules, and brain. PSMA is a member of a superfamily of
zinc-dependent exopeptidases, which include carboxypeptidases with
a mononuclear zinc active site (e.g., carboxypeptidase A) and
carboxy- and aminopeptidases with a binuclear zinc active site
[e.g., carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2), peptidases T and V (PepT and
PepV), Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase (Sgap), and Aeromonas
proteolytica aminopeptidase (AAP)]. In addition to a limited region
of homology with these soluble single-domain (e.g., AAP), or
double-domain (e.g., CPG2) zinc-dependent exopeptidases, the entire
sequence of PSMA is homologous to at least four other human
proteins: NLDL (expressed in ileum; 35% identity), NLD2 (expressed
in ovary, testis, and brain; 67% identity), transferrin receptor
(TfR) 1 (TfR1; expressed in most cell types; 26% identity), and
TfR2 (expressed predominantly in liver; 28% identity).
[0039] The crystal structure of PSMA has been shown to comprise a
symmetric dimer with each polypeptide chain containing three
domains analogous to the three TfR1 domains: a protease domain, an
apical domain, and a helical domain. A large cavity (.apprxeq.1,100
.ANG.2) at the interface between the three domains includes a
binuclear zinc site and predominantly polar residues (66% of 70
residues). The observation of two zinc ions and conservation of
many of the cavity-forming residues among PSMA orthologs and
homologs identify the cavity as the probable substrate-binding
site.
[0040] Typically, PSMA expression is found to increase with
prostate disease progression and metastasis. The expression of PSMA
is increased in prostate cancer, especially in poorly
differentiated, metastatic, and hormone refractory carcinomas. PSMA
is also expressed in endothelial cells of capillary vessels in
peritumoral and endotumoral areas of certain malignancies,
including renal cell carcinomas, and colon carcinomas, but not in
blood vessels from normal tissues. In addition, PSMA is reported to
be related to tumor angiogenesis. PSMA has been demonstrated to be
expressed in endothelial cells of tumor-associated neovasculature
in carcinomas of the colon, breast, bladder, pancreas, kidney, and
melanoma.
[0041] In addition to its role as a tumor marker, PSMA contains a
binuclear zinc site and is active as a glutamate carboxypeptidase,
catalyzing the hydrolytic cleavage of .alpha.- or .gamma.-linked
glutamates from peptides or small molecules. Its substrates include
poly-.gamma.-glutamated folates, which are essential nutrients, and
the poly-.gamma.-glutamated form of the anticancer drug
methotrexate, in which case cleavage renders it less efficacious.
The enzymatic activity of PSMA can be exploited for the design of
prodrugs, in which an inactive glutamated form of the drug is
selectively cleaved and thereby activated only at cells that
express PSMA. PSMA also cleaves and inactivates the abundant
neuropeptide N-acetyl-1-aspartyl-1-glutamate (.alpha.-NAAG), which
is an inhibitor of the NMDA ionotropic receptor and an agonist of
the type II metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 3. A breakdown
of the regulation of glutamatergic neurotransmission by
.alpha.-NAAG is implicated in schizophrenia, seizure disorders,
Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis. Thus, inhibition of PSMA potentially confers
neuroprotection both by reducing glutamate and increasing
.alpha.-NAAG. For example, the subnanomolar inhibitor
2-(phosphonomethyl) pentanedioc acid has been shown to provide
neuroprotection in cell culture and/or animal models of ischemia,
diabetic neuropathy, drug abuse, chronic pain, and amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis.
[0042] Prostate cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer and one
of the leading causes of death from cancer in American men. The
number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer has steadily
increasing as a result of the increasing population of older men as
well as a greater awareness of the disease leading to its earlier
diagnosis. The life time risk for men developing prostate cancer is
about 1 in 5 for Caucasians, 1 in 6 for African Americans. High
risk groups are represented by those with a positive family history
of prostate cancer or African Americans. Over a lifetime, more than
two-thirds of the men diagnosed with prostate cancer die of the
disease. Moreover, many patients who do not succumb to prostate
cancer require continuous treatment to ameliorate symptoms such as
pain, bleeding and urinary obstruction. Thus, prostate cancer also
represents a major cause of suffering and increased health care
expenditures. Where prostate cancer is localized and the patient's
life expectancy is 10 years or more, radical prostatectomy offers
the best chance for eradication of the disease. Historically, the
drawback of this procedure is that most cancers had spread beyond
the bounds of the operation by the time they were detected.
Patients with bulky, high-grade tumors are less likely to be
successfully treated by radical prostatectomy. Radiation therapy
has also been widely used as an alternative to radical
prostatectomy. Patients generally treated by radiation therapy are
those who are older and less healthy and those with higher-grade,
more clinically advanced tumors. Particularly preferred procedures
are external-beam therapy which involves three-dimensional,
confocal radiation therapy where the field of radiation is designed
to conform to the volume of tissue treated; interstitial-radiation
therapy where seeds of radioactive compounds are implanted using
ultrasound guidance; and a combination of external-beam therapy and
interstitial-radiation therapy. For treatment of patients with
locally advanced disease, hormonal therapy before or following
radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy has been utilized.
Hormonal therapy is the main form of treating men with disseminated
prostate cancer. Orchiectomy reduces serum testosterone
concentrations, while estrogen treatment is similarly beneficial.
Diethylstilbestrol from estrogen is another useful hormonal therapy
which has a disadvantage of causing cardiovascular toxicity. When
gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists are administered
testosterone concentrations are ultimately reduced. Flutamide and
other nonsteroidal, anti-androgen agents block binding of
testosterone to its intracellular receptors. As a result, it blocks
the effect of testosterone, increasing serum testosterone
concentrations and allows patients to remain potent--a significant
problem after radical prostatectomy and radiation treatments.
Cytotoxic chemotherapy is largely ineffective in treating prostate
cancer. Its toxicity makes such therapy unsuitable for elderly
patients. In addition, prostate cancer is relatively resistant to
cytotoxic agents. Relapsed or more advanced disease is also treated
with anti-androgen therapy. Unfortunately, almost all tumors become
hormone-resistant and progress rapidly in the absence of any
effective therapy. Accordingly, there is a need for effective
therapeutics for prostate cancer which are not overwhelmingly toxic
to normal tissues of a patient, and which are effective in
selectively eliminating prostate cancer cells. The present
disclosure provides, in certain embodiments, PSMA binding proteins
that are useful in treating prostate cancer. In additional
embodiments, the disclosure provides a method of treating prostate
cancer by immunotherapy using the PSMA binding proteins described
herein.
[0043] Prostate cancer is also difficult to diagnose because the
prostate specific membrane antigen screening method is associated
with many false positives. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the
present disclosure provides an improved method of detecting
prostate cancer using the PSMA binding proteins described
herein.
PSMA Binding Proteins
[0044] Provided herein in certain embodiments are binding proteins,
such as anti-PSMA antibodies or antibody variants, which bind to a
PSMA protein. The PSMA protein, in some embodiments, is a multimer.
A PSMA protein multimer, as used herein, is a protein complex of at
least two PSMA proteins or fragments thereof. The PSMA protein
multimers can be composed of various combinations of full-length
PSMA proteins (e.g., SEQ ID No. 20), recombinant soluble PSMA
(rsPSMA, e.g., amino acids 44-750 of SEQ ID No. 20) and fragments
of the foregoing that form multimers (i.e., that retain the protein
domain required for forming dimers and/or higher order multimers of
PSMA). In some embodiments, at least one of the PSMA proteins
forming the multimer is a recombinant, soluble PSMA (rsPSMA)
polypeptide. In some embodiments, PSMA protein multimers are
dimers, such as those formed from recombinant soluble PSMA protein.
In some embodiments, rsPSMA is a homodimer. While not being bound
by any particular theory, the PSMA protein multimers referred to
herein are believed to assume a native conformation and preferably
have such a conformation. The PSMA proteins in certain embodiments
are noncovalently bound together to form the PSMA protein multimer.
For example, it has been discovered that PSMA protein noncovalently
associates to form dimers under non-denaturing conditions. The PSMA
protein multimers can, and preferably do, retain the activities of
PSMA. The activity of a PSMA protein is, in certain embodiments, an
enzymatic activity, such as folate hydrolase activity, NAALADase
activity, dipeptidyl peptidase IV activity and .gamma.-glutamyl
hydrolase activity. Methods for testing the PSMA activity of
multimers are known in the field (e.g., reviewed by O'Keefe et al.
in: Prostate Cancer: Biology, Genetics, and the New Therapeutics,
L. W. K. Chung, W. B. Isaacs and J. W. Simons (eds.) Humana Press,
Totowa, N.J., 2000, pp. 307-326).
[0045] In some embodiments, the binding proteins of the present
disclosure that bind a PSMA protein or a PSMA protein multimer
modulate enzymatic activity of the PSMA protein or the PSMA protein
multimer. In some embodiments, the PSMA binding protein inhibits at
least one enzymatic activity such as NAALADase activity, folate
hydrolase activity, dipeptidyl dipeptidase IV activity,
.gamma.-glutamyl hydrolase activity, or combinations thereof. In
other embodiments, the PSMA binding protein enhances at least one
enzymatic activity such as NAALADase activity, folate hydrolase
activity, dipeptidyl dipeptidase IV activity, .gamma.-glutamyl
hydrolase activity, or combinations thereof.
[0046] As used herein, the term "antibody variants" refers to
variants and derivatives of an antibody described herein. In
certain embodiments, amino acid sequence variants of the anti-PSMA
antibodies described herein are contemplated. For example, in
certain embodiments amino acid sequence variants of anti-PSMA
antibodies described herein are contemplated to improve the binding
affinity and/or other biological properties of the antibodies.
Exemplary method for preparing amino acid variants include, but are
not limited to, introducing appropriate modifications into the
nucleotide sequence encoding the antibody, or by peptide synthesis.
Such modifications include, for example, deletions from, and/or
insertions into and/or substitutions of residues within the amino
acid sequences of the antibody.
[0047] Any combination of deletion, insertion, and substitution can
be made to arrive at the final construct, provided that the final
construct possesses the desired characteristics, e.g.,
antigen-binding. In certain embodiments, antibody variants having
one or more amino acid substitutions are provided. Sites of
interest for substitution mutagenesis include the CDRs and
framework regions. Examples of such substitutions are described
below. Amino acid substitutions may be introduced into an antibody
of interest and the products screened for a desired activity, e.g.,
retained/improved antigen binding, decreased immunogenicity, or
improved antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) or
complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Both conservative and
non-conservative amino acid substitutions are contemplated for
preparing the antibody variants.
[0048] In another example of a substitution to create a variant
anti-PSMA antibody, one or more hypervariable region residues of a
parent antibody are substituted. In general, variants are then
selected based on improvements in desired properties compared to a
parent antibody, for example, increased affinity, reduced affinity,
reduced immunogenicity, increased pH dependence of binding. For
example, an affinity matured variant antibody can be generated,
e.g., using phage display-based affinity maturation techniques such
as those described herein and known in the field.
[0049] Substitutions can be made in hypervariable regions (HVR) of
a parent anti-PSMA antibody to generate variants and variants are
then selected based on binding affinity, i.e., by affinity
maturation. In some embodiments of affinity maturation, diversity
is introduced into the variable genes chosen for maturation by any
of a variety of methods (e.g., error-prone PCR, chain shuffling, or
oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis). A secondary library is then
created. The library is then screened to identify any antibody
variants with the desired affinity. Another method to introduce
diversity involves HVR-directed approaches, in which several HVR
residues (e.g., 4-6 residues at a time) are randomized. HVR
residues involved in antigen binding may be specifically
identified, e.g., using alanine scanning mutagenesis or modeling.
Substitutions can be in one, two, three, four, or more sites within
a parent antibody sequence.
[0050] In some embodiments, the PSMA binding protein described
herein is a single domain antibody such as a heavy chain variable
domain (VH), a variable domain (VHH) of camelid derived sdAb,
peptide, ligand or small molecule entity specific for PSMA. In some
embodiments, the PSMA binding domain of the PSMA binding protein
described herein is any domain that binds to PSMA including but not
limited to domains from a monoclonal antibody, a polyclonal
antibody, a recombinant antibody, a human antibody, a humanized
antibody. In certain embodiments, the PSMA binding protein is a
single-domain antibody. In other embodiments, the PSMA binding
protein is a peptide. In further embodiments, the PSMA binding
protein is a small molecule.
[0051] Generally, it should be noted that the term single domain
antibody as used herein in its broadest sense is not limited to a
specific biological source or to a specific method of preparation.
For example, in some embodiments, the single domain antibodies of
the disclosure are obtained: (1) by isolating the VHH domain of a
naturally occurring heavy chain antibody; (2) by expression of a
nucleotide sequence encoding a naturally occurring VHH domain; (3)
by "humanization" of a naturally occurring VHH domain or by
expression of a nucleic acid encoding a such humanized VHH domain;
(4) by "camelization" of a naturally occurring VH domain from any
animal species, and in particular from a species of mammal, such as
from a human being, or by expression of a nucleic acid encoding
such a camelized VH domain; (5) by "camelisation" of a "domain
antibody" or "Dab", or by expression of a nucleic acid encoding
such a camelized VH domain; (6) by using synthetic or
semi-synthetic techniques for preparing proteins, polypeptides or
other amino acid sequences; (7) by preparing a nucleic acid
encoding a single domain antibody using techniques for nucleic acid
synthesis known in the field, followed by expression of the nucleic
acid thus obtained; and/or (8) by any combination of one or more of
the foregoing.
[0052] In one embodiment, a single domain antibody corresponds to
the VHH domains of naturally occurring heavy chain antibodies
directed against PSMA. As further described herein, such VHH
sequences can generally be generated or obtained by suitably
immunizing a species of Camelid with PSMA, (i.e., so as to raise an
immune response and/or heavy chain antibodies directed against
PSMA), by obtaining a suitable biological sample from said Camelid
(such as a blood sample, serum sample or sample of B-cells), and by
generating VHH sequences directed against PSMA, starting from said
sample, using any suitable technique known in the field.
[0053] In another embodiment, such naturally occurring VHH domains
against PSMA, are obtained from naive libraries of Camelid VHH
sequences, for example by screening such a library using PSMA, or
at least one part, fragment, antigenic determinant or epitope
thereof using one or more screening techniques known in the field.
Such libraries and techniques are for example described in WO
99/37681, WO 01/90190, WO 03/025020 and WO 03/035694.
Alternatively, improved synthetic or semi-synthetic libraries
derived from naive VHH libraries are used, such as VHH libraries
obtained from naive VHH libraries by techniques such as random
mutagenesis and/or CDR shuffling, as for example described in WO
00/43507.
[0054] In a further embodiment, yet another technique for obtaining
VHH sequences directed against PSMA, involves suitably immunizing a
transgenic mammal that is capable of expressing heavy chain
antibodies (i.e., so as to raise an immune response and/or heavy
chain antibodies directed against PSMA), obtaining a suitable
biological sample from said transgenic mammal (such as a blood
sample, serum sample or sample of B-cells), and then generating VHH
sequences directed against PSMA, starting from said sample, using
any suitable technique known in the field. For example, for this
purpose, the heavy chain antibody-expressing rats or mice and the
further methods and techniques described in WO 02/085945 and in WO
04/049794 can be used.
[0055] In some embodiments, a single domain PSMA antibody, as
described herein comprises single domain antibody with an amino
acid sequence that corresponds to the amino acid sequence of a
naturally occurring VHH domain, but that has been "humanized",
i.e., by replacing one or more amino acid residues in the amino
acid sequence of said naturally occurring VHH sequence (and in
particular in the framework sequences) by one or more of the amino
acid residues that occur at the corresponding position(s) in a VH
domain from a conventional 4-chain antibody from a human being
(e.g., as indicated above). This can be performed in a manner known
in the field, which will be clear to the skilled person, for
example on the basis of the further description herein. Again, it
should be noted that such humanized anti-PSMA single domain
antibodies of the disclosure are obtained in any suitable manner
known per se (i.e., as indicated under points (1)-(8) above) and
thus are not strictly limited to polypeptides that have been
obtained using a polypeptide that comprises a naturally occurring
VHH domain as a starting material. In some additional embodiments,
a single domain PSMA antibody, as described herein, comprises a
single domain antibody with an amino acid sequence that corresponds
to the amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring VH domain, but
that has been "camelized", i.e., by replacing one or more amino
acid residues in the amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring
VH domain from a conventional 4-chain antibody by one or more of
the amino acid residues that occur at the corresponding position(s)
in a VHH domain of a heavy chain antibody. Such "camelizing"
substitutions are preferably inserted at amino acid positions that
form and/or are present at the VH-VL interface, and/or at the
so-called Camelidae hallmark residues (see for example WO 94/04678
and Davies and Riechmann (1994 and 1996)). Preferably, the VH
sequence that is used as a starting material or starting point for
generating or designing the camelized single domain is preferably a
VH sequence from a mammal, more preferably the VH sequence of a
human being, such as a VH3 sequence. However, it should be noted
that such camelized anti-PSMA single domain antibodies of the
disclosure, in certain embodiments, is obtained in any suitable
manner known in the field (i.e., as indicated under points (1)-(8)
above) and thus are not strictly limited to polypeptides that have
been obtained using a polypeptide that comprises a naturally
occurring VH domain as a starting material. For example, as further

sequences or CDR sequences), and/or one or more synthetic or
semi-synthetic sequences, in a suitable manner, so as to provide an
anti-PSMA single domain antibody of the disclosure or a nucleotide
sequence or nucleic acid encoding the same.

Humanization and Affinity Maturation
[0077] In designing binding proteins for therapeutic applications,
it is desirable to create proteins that, for example, modulate a
functional activity of a target, and/or improved binding proteins
such as binding proteins with higher specificity and/or affinity
and/or and binding proteins that are more bioavailable, or stable
or soluble in particular cellular or tissue environments.
[0078] The PSMA binding proteins described in the present
disclosure exhibit improved the binding affinities towards the
target binding domain, which is PSMA. The present disclosure
identifies amino acid substitutions in the complementarity
determining regions (CDRs) of the PSMA binding proteins described
herein which lead to higher binding affinity towards one or both of
human and cyno PSMA. In some embodiments, the PSMA binding protein
is an antibody. In certain embodiments, the PSMA binding protein is
a humanized antibody. Generally, a humanized antibody comprises one
or more variable domains in which CDRs or portions of CDRs are
derived from a non-human antibody, and framework regions or
portions of framework regions are derived from human antibody
sequences. Optionally, a humanized antibody also comprises at least
a portion of a human constant region. In some embodiments, selected
framework residues are substituted with corresponding residues from
a non-human antibody (e.g., the antibody from which the CDRs are
derived), e.g., to restore or improve antibody specificity,
affinity, or pH dependence. Human framework regions that can be
used for humanization include but are not limited to framework
regions selected using a best-fit method (e.g., Sims et al. J
Immunol 151:2296, 1993); framework regions derived from the
consensus sequence of human antibodies of a particular subgroup of
light or heavy chain variable regions (e.g., Carter et al. Proc
Natl Acad Sci USA, 89:4285, 1992; and Presta et al., J Immunol,
151:2623, 1993); human mature (somatically mutated) framework
regions or human germline framework regions (e.g., Almagro and
Fransson, Front Biosci 13:1619-1633, 2008); and framework regions
derived from screening framework libraries (e.g., Baca et al., J
Biol Chem 272:10678-10684, 1997; and Rosok et al., J Biol Chem
271:22611-22618, 1996)). Thus, in one aspect, the PSMA binding
protein comprises a humanized or human antibody or an antibody
fragment. In one embodiment, the humanized or human anti-PSMA
binding protein comprises one or more (e.g., all three) light chain
complementary determining region 1 (LC CDR1), light chain
complementary determining region 2 (LC CDR2), and light chain
complementary determining region 3 (LC CDR3) of a humanized or
human anti-PSMA binding domain described herein, and/or one or more
(e.g., all three) heavy chain complementary determining region 1
(HC CDR1), heavy chain complementary determining region 2 (HC
CDR2), and heavy chain complementary determining region 3 (HC CDR3)
of a humanized or human anti-PSMA binding domain described herein,
e.g., a humanized or human anti-PSMA binding domain comprising one
or more, e.g., all three, LC CDRs and one or more, e.g., all three,
HC CDRs. In some embodiments, the humanized or human anti-PSMA
binding domain comprises a humanized or human light chain variable
region specific to PSMA where the light chain variable region
specific to PSMA comprises human or non-human light chain CDRs in a
human light chain framework region. In certain instances, the light
chain framework region is a .lamda. (lambda) light chain framework.
In other instances, the light chain framework region is a .kappa.
(kappa) light chain framework. In some embodiments, the humanized
or human anti-PSMA binding domain comprises a humanized or human
heavy chain variable region specific to PSMA where the heavy chain
variable region specific to PSMA comprises human or non-human heavy
chain CDRs in a human heavy chain framework region. In certain
instances, the complementary determining regions of the heavy chain
and/or the light chain are derived from known anti-PSMA antibodies,
such as, for example, 7E11, EPR6253, 107.1A4, GCP-05, EP3253, BV9,
SP29, human PSMA/FOLH1/NAALADase I antibody.
[0079] The PSMA binding proteins of the present disclosure is, in
some embodiments, affinity matured to increase its binding affinity
to the target binding domain. Where it is desired to improve the
affinity of the PSMA binding proteins of the disclosure, such as
anti-PSMA antibodies, containing one or more of the above-mentioned
CDRs, such antibodies with improved affinity may be obtained by a
number of affinity maturation protocols, including but not limited
to maintaining the CDRs, chain shuffling, use of mutation strains
of E. coli, DNA shuffling, phage display and sexual. Above
exemplary methods of affinity maturation are discussed by Vaughan
et al. (Nature Biotechnology, 16, 535-539, 1998). Thus, in addition
to the PSMA binding protein variants discussed in the foregoing
sections, the disclosure provides further sequence variants which
improve the affinity of the binding protein towards its target,
i.e., PSMA. In certain embodiments, such sequence variants comprise
one or more semi-conservative or conservative substitutions within
the PSMA binding protein sequences and such substitutions
preferably do not significantly affect the desired activity of the
binding protein. Substitutions may be naturally occurring or may be
introduced for example using mutagenesis (e.g., Hutchinson et al.,
1978, J Biol. Chem. 253:6551). For example, the amino acids
glycine, alanine, valine, leucine and isoleucine can often be
substituted for one another (amino acids having aliphatic side
chains). Of these possible substitutions, it is typically glycine
and alanine are used to substitute for one another since they have
relatively short side chains and valine, leucine, and isoleucine
are used to substitute for one another since they have larger
aliphatic side chains which are hydrophobic. Other amino acids
which may often be substituted for one another include but are not
limited to: phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan (amino acids
having aromatic side chains); lysine, arginine and histidine (amino
acids having basic side chains); aspartate and glutamate (amino
acids having acidic side chains); asparagine and glutamine (amino
acids having amide side chains); and cysteine and methionine (amino
acids having sulphur-containing side chains).
[0080] In some embodiments, the PSMA binding proteins are isolated
by screening combinatorial libraries, for example, by generating
phage display libraries and screening such libraries for antibodies
possessing the desired binding characteristics. Further, the
binding affinity of the PSMA binding protein towards its binding
target can be selected so as to target a specific elimination
half-time in a particular PSMA albumin binding protein. Thus, in
some embodiments, the PSMA binding protein has a high binding
affinity towards its binding target. In other embodiments, the PSMA
binding protein has a medium binding affinity towards its binding
target. In yet other embodiments, the PSMA binding protein has a
low or marginal binding affinity towards its binding target.
Exemplary binding affinities include Kd of 10 nM or less (high),
between 10 nM and 100 nM (medium), and greater than 100 nM (low).
The affinity to bind to PSMA can be determined, for example, by the
ability of binding protein itself or its PSMA binding domain to
bind to PSMA coated on an assay plate; displayed on a microbial
cell surface; in solution; etc. The binding activity of the protein
of the present disclosure to PSMA can also be assayed by
immobilizing the ligand (e.g., PSMA) or said binding protein itself
or its PSMA binding domain, to a bead, substrate, cell, etc. In
some embodiments, binding between the PSMA binding protein itself,
or its PSMA binding domain, and a target ligand (such as PSMA) is
determined, for example, by a binding kinetics assay. The binding
kinetics assay, in certain embodiments, is carried out using an
OCTET.RTM. system. In such embodiments, a first step comprises
immobilizing a ligand (e.g., biotinylated PSMA) onto the surface of
a biosensor (e.g., a streptavidin biosensor) at an optimal loading
density, followed by a wash with an assay buffer to remove unbound
ligands, which is followed by association of the analyte, i.e., the
PSMA binding protein itself or its PSMA binding domain with the
ligand, which is followed by exposing the biosensor to a buffer
that does not contain the analyte, thereby resulting in
dissociation of the PSMA binding protein itself or its PSMA binding
domain from the ligand. Suitable blocking agents, such as BSA,
Casein, Tween-20, PEG, gelatin, are used to block the non-specific
binding sites on the bio-sensor. The binding kinetics data is
subsequently analyzed using an appropriate software (e.g.,
ForteBio's Octet software) to determine the association and
dissociation rate constants for binding interaction between the
PSMA binding protein itself or its PSMA binding domain and a
ligand.
[0081] In certain embodiments, the PSMA binding protein disclosed
herein binds to human PSMA with a human Kd (hKd). In certain
embodiments, the PSMA binding protein disclosed herein binds to
cynomolgus PSMA with a cyno Kd (cKd). In certain embodiments, the
PSMA binding protein disclosed herein binds to cynomolgus PSMA with
a cyno Kd (cKd) and to human PSMA with a human Kd (hKd). In some
embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about 0.1 nM to about
500 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about
0.1 nM to about 450 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd
range from about 0.1 nM to about 400 nM. In some embodiments, the
hKd and the cKd range from about 0.1 nM to about 350 nM. In some
embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about 0.1 nM to about
300 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about
0.1 nM to about 250 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd
range from about 0.1 nM to about 200 nM. In some embodiments, the
hKd and the cKd range from about 0.1 nM to about 150 nM. In some
embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about 0.1 nM to about
100 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about
0.1 nM to about 90 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd
range from about 0.2 nM to about 80 nM. In some embodiments, the
hKd and the cKd range from about 0.3 nM to about 70 nM. In some
embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about 0.4 nM to about
50 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about
0.5 nM to about 30 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd
range from about 0.6 nM to about 10 nM. In some embodiments, the
hKd and the cKd range from about 0.7 nM to about 8 nM. In some
embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about 0.8 nM to about 6
nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range from about 0.9
nM to about 4 nM. In some embodiments, the hKd and the cKd range
from about 1 nM to about 2 nM. In some embodiments, the PSMA
binding protein binds to human and cynomolgus PSMA with comparable
binding affinity (Kd).
[0082] In some embodiments, the PSMA binding protein of the present
disclosure comprises the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID No. 4 and
has an hKd of about 10 nM to about 20 nM. In some embodiments, the
PSMA binding protein of the present disclosure comprises a glutamic
acid to proline mutation in amino acid position 31 of SEQ ID No. 4
and has an hKd of about 5 nM to about 10 nM. In some embodiments,
the PSMA binding protein of the present disclosure comprises a
threonine to glutamine mutation in amino acid position 56 of SEQ ID
No. 4 and has a hKd of about 1 nM to about 7 nM. In some
embodiments, the PSMA binding protein of the present disclosure
comprises a glycine to lysine mutation in amino acid position 55 of
SEQ ID No. 4 and has a hKd of about 0.5 nM to about 5 nM. In some
embodiments, the PSMA binding protein of the present disclosure
comprises a serine to histidine mutation in amino acid position 33,
threonine to aspartic acid in amino acid position 50, and glycine
to serine substitution in amino acid position 97 of SEQ ID No. 4
and has an hKd of about 5 nM to about 10 nM. In some embodiments,
the PSMA binding protein of the present disclosure comprises a
serine to histidine mutation in amino acid position 33, and glycine
to serine substitution in amino acid position 97 of SEQ ID No. 4
and has an hKd of about 0.05 nM to about 2 nM. Thus, in various
embodiments, the PSMA binding proteins comprising one or more
substitutions compared to the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID No. 4
have binding affinities towards human PSMA that are 1.5 times to
about 300 times higher that of a protein comprising the sequence of
SEQ ID No. 4 without any substitutions. For example, the binding
affinity is about 1.5 times to about 3 times higher when the
substitution(s) of SEQ ID No. 4 comprises E31P; about 2 times to
about 15 times higher when the substitution(s) of SEQ ID No. 4
comprises T56Q; about 3 times to about 30 times the substitution(s)
of SEQ ID No. 4 comprises G55K; about 2 times to about 3 times the
substitution(s) of SEQ ID No. 4 comprises S33H T50D G97S; and about
5 times to about 300 times the substitution(s) of SEQ ID No. 4
comprises S33H G97S. In some embodiments, the one or more amino
acid substitutions of SEQ ID No. 4, as described above, leads to
enhanced binding affinity towards both human and cynomolgus PSMA,
for example, a PSMA binding protein of the present disclosure
comprising amino acid substitutions S33H and G97S in SEQ ID No. 4,
shows increased affinity towards human and cynomolgus PSMA compared
to a protein that comprises the sequence of SEQ ID No. 4 without
any substitutions. A further example of such dual affinity
enhancement is seen in case of a PSMA binding protein comprising
amino acid substitutions S33H, T50D, and G97S in SEQ ID No. 4. In
some embodiments, any of the foregoing PSMA binding proteins (e.g.,
anti-PSMA single domain antibodies of SEQ ID Nos. 21-32) are
affinity peptide tagged for ease of purification. In some
embodiments, the affinity peptide tag is six consecutive histidine
residues, also referred to as 6his (SEQ ID NO: 33).
[0083] The binding affinity of PSMA binding proteins, e.g., an
anti-PSMA single domain antibody, of the present disclosure may
also be described in relative terms or as compared to the binding
affinity of a second binding protein that also specifically binds
to PSMA (e.g., a second anti-PSMA single domain antibody that is
PSMA-specific, which may be referred to herein as a "second
PSMA-specific antibody". In some embodiments, the second
PSMA-specific antibody is any of the PSMA binding protein variants
described herein, such as binding proteins defined by SEQ ID Nos.
21-32. Accordingly, certain embodiments of the present disclosure
relate to an anti-PSMA single domain antibody that binds to human
PSMA and/or cynomolgus PSMA with greater affinity than the binding
protein of SEQ ID No. 4, or with a Kd that is lower than the Kd of
the binding protein of SEQ ID No. 4. Further, additional
embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an anti-PSMA single
domain antibody that binds to human PSMA and/or cynomolgus PSMA
with greater affinity than the binding protein of SEQ ID No. 19, or
with a Kd that is lower than the Kd of the binding protein of SEQ
ID No. 19.
CD3 Binding Domain
[0084] The specificity of the response of T cells is mediated by
the recognition of antigen (displayed in context of a major
histocompatibility complex, MHC) by the T cell receptor complex. As
part of the T cell receptor complex, CD3 is a protein complex that
includes a CD3.gamma. (gamma) chain, a CD3.delta. (delta) chain,
and two CD3 (epsilon) chains which are present on the cell surface.
CD3 associates with the .alpha. (alpha) and .beta. (beta) chains of
the T cell receptor (TCR) as well as and CD3.zeta. ((zeta)
altogether to comprise the T cell receptor complex. Clustering of
CD3 on T cells, such as by immobilized anti-CD3 antibodies leads to
T cell activation similar to the engagement of the T cell receptor
but independent of its clone-typical specificity.
[0085] In one aspect is described herein a multispecific protein
comprising a PSMA binding protein according to the present
disclosure. In some embodiments, the multispecific protein further
comprises a domain which specifically binds to CD3. In some
embodiments, the multispecific protein further comprises a domain
which specifically binds to CD3.gamma.. In some embodiments, the
multispecific protein further comprises a domain which specifically
binds to CD3.delta.. In some embodiments, the multispecific protein
further comprises a domain which specifically binds to
CD3.epsilon..
[0086] In additional embodiments, the multispecific protein further
comprises a domain which specifically binds to the T cell receptor
(TCR). In some embodiments, the multispecific protein further
comprises a domain which specifically binds the .alpha. chain of
the TCR. In some embodiments, the multispecific protein further
comprises a domain which specifically binds the .beta. chain of the
TCR.
[0087] In some embodiments, the multispecific protein further
comprises a domain which specifically binds to a bulk serum
protein, such as human serum albumin (HSA). In some embodiments,
the HSA binding domain comprises a sequence selected from the group
consisting of SEQ ID NO. 123-146.
[0088] In some embodiments, the multispecific protein is a PSMA
targeting trispecific antigen-binding protein, also referred to
herein as a PSMA targeting TRITAC.TM. molecule or PSMA trispecific
molecule or trispecific molecule.
[0089] In certain embodiments, the CD3 binding domain of the
multispecific protein comprising a PSMA binding protein described
herein exhibits not only potent CD3 binding affinities with human
CD3, but show also excellent crossreactivity with the respective
cynomolgus monkey CD3 proteins. In some instances, the CD3 binding
domain of the multispecific proteins are cross-reactive with CD3
from cynomolgus monkey.
[0090] In some embodiments, the CD3 binding domain of the
multispecific protein comprising a PSMA binding protein described
herein can be any domain that binds to CD3 including but not
limited to domains from a monoclonal antibody, a polyclonal
antibody, a recombinant antibody, a human antibody, a humanized
antibody, or antigen binding fragments of the CD3 binding
antibodies, such as single domain antibodies (sdAb), Fab, Fab',
F(ab)2, and Fv fragments, fragments comprised of one or more CDRs,
single-chain antibodies (e.g., single chain Fv fragments (scFv)),
disulfide stabilized (dsFv) Fv fragments, heteroconjugate
antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), pFv fragments, heavy
chain monomers or dimers, light chain monomers or dimers, and
dimers consisting of one heavy chain and one light chain. In some
instances, it is beneficial for the CD3 binding domain to be
derived from the same species in which the multispecific protein
comprising a single PSMA binding protein described herein will
ultimately be used in. For example, for use in humans, it may be
beneficial for the CD3 binding domain of the multispecific protein
comprising a PSMA binding protein described herein to comprise
human or humanized residues from the PSMA binding domain of an
antibody or antibody fragment.
[0091] Thus, in one aspect, the CD3 binding domain of the
multispecific protein comprising a PSMA binding protein comprises a
humanized or human antibody or an antibody fragment, or a murine
antibody or antibody fragment. In one embodiment, the humanized or
human anti-CD3 binding domain comprises one or more (e.g., all
three) light chain complementary determining regions, light chain
complementary determining region 1 (LC CDR1), light chain
complementary determining region 2 (LC CDR2), and light chain
complementary determining region 3 (LC CDR3) of a humanized or
human anti-CD3 binding domain described herein, and/or one or more
(e.g., all three) heavy chain complementary determining regions,
heavy chain complementary determining region 1 (HC CDR1), heavy
chain complementary determining region 2 (HC CDR2), and heavy chain
complementary determining region 3 (HC CDR3) of a humanized or
human anti-CD3 binding domain described herein, e.g., a humanized
or human anti-CD3 binding domain comprising one or more, e.g., all
three, LC CDRs and one or more, e.g., all three, HC CDRs.
[0092] In some embodiments, the humanized or human anti-CD3 binding
domain comprises a humanized or human light chain variable region
specific to CD3 where the light chain variable region specific to
CD3 comprises human or non-human light chain CDRs in a human light
chain framework region. In certain instances, the light chain
framework region is a .lamda. (lambda) light chain framework. In
other instances, the light chain framework region is a .kappa.
(kappa) light chain framework.
[0093] In some embodiments, the humanized or human anti-CD3 binding
domain comprises a humanized or human heavy chain variable region
specific to CD3 where the heavy chain variable region specific to
CD3 comprises human or non-human heavy chain CDRs in a human heavy
chain framework region.
[0094] In certain instances, the complementary determining regions
of the heavy chain and/or the light chain are derived from known
anti-CD3 antibodies, such as, for example, muromonab-CD3 (OKT3),
otelixizumab (TRX4), teplizumab (MGA031), visilizumab (Nuvion),
SP34, TR-66 or X35-3, VIT3, BMA030 (BW264/56), CLB-T3/3, CRIS7,
YTH12.5, F111-409, CLB-T3.4.2, TR-66, WT32, SPv-T3b, 11D8,
XIII-141, XIII-46, XIII-87, 12F6, T3/RW2-8C8, T3/RW2-4B6, OKT3D,
M-T301, SMC2, F101.01, UCHT-1 and WT-31.
[0095] In one embodiment, the anti-CD3 binding domain is a single
chain variable fragment (scFv) comprising a light chain and a heavy
chain of an amino acid sequence provided herein. As used herein,
"single chain variable fragment" or "scFv" refers to an antibody
fragment comprising a variable region of a light chain and at least
one antibody fragment comprising a variable region of a heavy
chain, wherein the light and heavy chain variable regions are
contiguously linked via a short flexible polypeptide linker, and
capable of being expressed as a single polypeptide chain, and
wherein the scFv retains the specificity of the intact antibody
from which it is derived. In an embodiment, the anti-CD3 binding
domain comprises: a light chain variable region comprising an amino
acid sequence having at least one, two or three modifications
(e.g., substitutions) but not more than 30, 20 or 10 modifications
(e.g., substitutions) of an amino acid sequence of a light chain
variable region provided herein, or a sequence with 95-99% identity
with an amino acid sequence provided herein; and/or a heavy chain
variable region comprising an amino acid sequence having at least
one, two or three modifications (e.g., substitutions) but not more
than 30, 20 or 10 modifications (e.g., substitutions) of an amino
acid sequence of a heavy chain variable region provided herein, or
a sequence with 95-99% identity to an amino acid sequence provided
herein. In one embodiment, the humanized or human anti-CD3 binding
domain is a scFv, and a light chain variable region comprising an
amino acid sequence described herein, is attached to a heavy chain
variable region comprising an amino acid sequence described herein,
via a scFv linker. The light chain variable region and heavy chain
variable region of a scFv can be, e.g., in any of the following
orientations: light chain variable region-scFv linker-heavy chain
variable region or heavy chain variable region-scFv linker-light
chain variable region.
[0096] In some instances, scFvs which bind to CD3 are prepared
according to known methods. For example, scFv molecules can be
produced by linking VH and VL regions together using flexible
polypeptide linkers. The scFv molecules comprise a scFv linker
(e.g., a Ser-Gly linker) with an optimized length and/or amino acid
composition. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the length of the
scFv linker is such that the VH or VL domain can associate
intermolecularly with the other variable domain to form the CD3
binding site. In certain embodiments, such scFv linkers are
"short", i.e. consist of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12
amino acid residues. Thus, in certain instances, the scFv linkers
consist of about 12 or less amino acid residues. In the case of 0
amino acid residues, the scFv linker is a peptide bond. In some
embodiments, these scFv linkers consist of about 3 to about 15, for
example 8, 9 or 10 contiguous amino acid residues. Regarding the
amino acid composition of the scFv linkers, peptides are selected
that confer flexibility, do not interfere with the variable domains
as well as allow inter-chain folding to bring the two variable
domains together to form a functional CD3 binding site. For
example, scFv linkers comprising glycine and serine residues
generally provide protease resistance. In some embodiments, linkers
in a scFv comprise glycine and serine residues. The amino acid
sequence of the scFv linkers can be optimized, for example, by
phage-display methods to improve the CD3 binding and production
yield of the scFv. Examples of peptide scFv linkers suitable for
linking a variable light chain domain and a variable heavy chain
domain in a scFv include but are not limited to (GS).sub.n (SEQ ID
NO: 157), (GGS).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 158), (GGGS).sub.n (SEQ ID NO:
159), (GGSG).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 160), (GGSGG).sub.n (SEQ ID NO:
161), or (GGGGS).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 162), wherein n is 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. In one embodiment, the scFv linker can be
(GGGGS).sub.4 (SEQ ID NO: 163) or (GGGGS).sub.3 (SEQ ID NO: 164).
Variation in the linker length may retain or enhance activity,
giving rise to superior efficacy in activity studies.
[0097] In some embodiments, CD3 binding domain of PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein has an affinity to CD3 on CD3 expressing
cells with a K.sub.D of 1000 nM or less, 500 nM or less, 200 nM or
less, 100 nM or less, 80 nM or less, 50 nM or less, 20 nM or less,
10 nM or less, 5 nM or less, 1 nM or less, or 0.5 nM or less. In
some embodiments, the CD3 binding domain of PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein has an affinity to CD3.epsilon., .gamma.,
or .delta. with a K.sub.D of 1000 nM or less, 500 nM or less, 200
nM or less, 100 nM or less, 80 nM or less, 50 nM or less, 20 nM or
less, 10 nM or less, 5 nM or less, 1 nM or less, or 0.5 nM or less.
In further embodiments, CD3 binding domain of PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein has low affinity to CD3, i.e., about 100 nM
or greater.
[0098] The affinity to bind to CD3 can be determined, for example,
by the ability of the PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein
itself or its CD3 binding domain to bind to CD3 coated on an assay
plate; displayed on a microbial cell surface; in solution; etc. The
binding activity of the PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein
itself or its CD3 binding domain of the present disclosure to CD3
can be assayed by immobilizing the ligand (e.g., CD3) or the PSMA
trispecific antigen-binding protein itself or its CD3 binding
domain, to a bead, substrate, cell, etc. Agents can be added in an
appropriate buffer and the binding partners incubated for a period
of time at a given temperature. After washes to remove unbound
material, the bound protein can be released with, for example, SDS,
buffers with a high pH, and the like and analyzed, for example, by
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR).
[0099] In some embodiments, CD3 binding domains described herein
comprise a polypeptide having a sequence described in Table 7 (SEQ
ID NO: 34-88) and subsequences thereof. In some embodiments, the
CD3 binding domain comprises a polypeptide having at least 70%-95%
or more homology to a sequence described in Table 7 (SEQ ID NO:
34-122). In some embodiments, the CD3 binding domain comprises a
polypeptide having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or more
homology to a sequence described in Table 7 (SEQ ID NO: 34-122). In
some embodiments, the CD3 binding domain has a sequence comprising
at least a portion of a sequence described in Table 7 (SEQ ID NO:
34-122). In some embodiments, the CD3 binding domain comprises a
polypeptide comprising one or more of the sequences described in
Table 7 (SEQ ID NO: 34-122).
[0100] In certain embodiments, CD3 binding domain comprises an scFv
with a heavy chain CDR1 comprising SEQ ID NO: 49, and 56-67. In
certain embodiments, CD3 binding domain comprises an scFv with a
heavy chain CDR2 comprising SEQ ID NO: 50, and 68-77. In certain
embodiments, CD3 binding domain comprises an scFv with a heavy
chain CDR3 comprising SEQ ID NO: 51, and 78-87. In certain
embodiments, CD3 binding domain comprises an scFv with a light
chain CDR1 comprising SEQ ID NO: 53, and 88-100. In certain
embodiments, CD3 binding domain comprises an scFv with a light
chain CDR2 comprising SEQ ID NO: 54, and 101-113. In certain
embodiments, CD3 binding domain comprises an scFv with a light
chain CDR3 comprising SEQ ID NO: 55, and 114-120.
[0101] The affinity to bind to CD3 can be determined, for example,
by the ability of the multispecific protein comprising a PSMA
binding protein itself or its CD3 binding domain to bind to CD3
coated on an assay plate; displayed on a microbial cell surface; in
solution; etc. The binding activity of multispecific protein
comprising a PSMA binding protein itself or its CD3 binding domain
according to the present disclosure to CD3 can be assayed by
immobilizing the ligand (e.g., CD3) or said multispecific protein
itself or its CD3 binding domain, to a bead, substrate, cell, etc.
The binding activity of the multispecific protein comprising a PSMA
binding protein itself or its CD3 binding domain to bind to CD3 can
be determined by immobilizing the ligand (e.g., CD3) or said
multispecific protein itself or its PSMA binding domain, to a bead,
substrate, cell, etc. In some embodiments, binding between the
multispecific protein comprising a PSMA binding protein, and a
target ligand (such as CD3) is determined, for example, by a
binding kinetics assay. The binding kinetics assay, in certain
embodiments, is carried out using an OCTET.RTM. system. In such
embodiments, a first step comprises immobilizing a ligand (e.g.,
biotinylated CD3) onto the surface of a biosensor (e.g., a
streptavidin biosensor) at an optimal loading density, followed by
a wash with an assay buffer to remove unbound ligands; which is
followed by association of the analyte, e.g., the multispecific
protein comprising a PSMA binding protein with the ligand; which is
followed by exposing the biosensor to a buffer that does not
contain the analyte, thereby resulting in dissociation of the
multispecific protein comprising a PSMA binding protein from the
ligand. Suitable blocking agents, such as BSA, Casein, Tween-20,
PEG, gelatin, are used to block the non-specific binding sites on
the bio-sensor, during the kinetic assay. The binding kinetics data
is subsequently analyzed using an appropriate software (e.g.,
ForteBio's Octet software) to determine the association and
dissociation rate constants for binding interaction between the
multispecific protein comprising a PSMA binding protein and a
ligand.
[0102] In one aspect, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins
comprise a domain (A) which specifically binds to CD3, a domain (B)
which specifically binds to human serum albumin (HSA), and a domain
(C) which specifically binds to PSMA. The three domains in PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins are arranged in any order. Thus, it
is contemplated that the domain order of the PSMA targeting
trispecific proteins are: [0103] H.sub.2N-(A)-(B)-(C)-COOH, [0104]
H.sub.2N-(A)-(C)-(B)-COOH, [0105] H.sub.2N-(B)-(A)-(C)-COOH, [0106]
H.sub.2N-(B)-(C)-(A)-COOH, [0107] H.sub.2N-(C)-(B)-(A)-COOH, or
[0108] H.sub.2N-(C)-(A)-(B)-COOH.
[0109] In some embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins
have a domain order of H.sub.2N-(A)-(B)-(C)-COOH. In some
embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins have a domain
order of H.sub.2N-(A)-(C)-(B)-COOH. In some embodiments, the PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins have a domain order of
H.sub.2N-(B)-(A)-(C)-COOH. In some embodiments, the PSMA targeting
trispecific proteins have a domain order of
H.sub.2N-(B)-(C)-(A)-COOH. In some embodiments, the PSMA targeting
trispecific proteins have a domain order of
H.sub.2N-(C)-(B)-(A)-COOH. In some embodiments, the PSMA targeting
trispecific proteins have a domain order of
H.sub.2N-(C)-(A)-(B)-COOH.
[0110] In some embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins
have the HSA binding domain as the middle domain, such that the
domain order is H.sub.2N-(A)-(B)-(C)-COOH or
H.sub.2N-(C)-(B)-(A)-COOH. It is contemplated that in such
embodiments where the HSA binding domain as the middle domain, the
CD3 and PSMA binding domains are afforded additional flexibility to
bind to their respective targets.
[0111] In some embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins
described herein comprise a polypeptide having a sequence described
in Table 10 (SEQ ID NO: 147-156) and subsequences thereof. In some
embodiments, the trispecific antigen binding protein comprises a
polypeptide having at least 70%-95% or more homology to a sequence
described in Table 10 (SEQ ID NO: 147-156). In some embodiments,
the trispecific antigen binding protein comprises a polypeptide
having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or more homology to a
sequence described in Table 10 (SEQ ID NO: 1470-156). In some
embodiments, the trispecific antigen binding protein has a sequence
comprising at least a portion of a sequence described in Table 10
(SEQ ID NO: 147-156). In some embodiments, the PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein comprises a polypeptide comprising one or
more of the sequences described in Table 10 (SEQ ID NO: 147-156).
In further embodiments, the PSMA trispecific antigen-binding
protein comprises one or more CDRs as described in the sequences in
Table 10 (SEQ ID NO: 147-156).
[0112] The PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described herein are
designed to allow specific targeting of cells expressing PSMA by
recruiting cytotoxic T cells. This improves efficacy compared to
ADCC (antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity), which is
using full length antibodies directed to a sole antigen and is not
capable of directly recruiting cytotoxic T cells. In contrast, by
engaging CD3 molecules expressed specifically on these cells, the
PSMA targeting trispecific proteins can crosslink cytotoxic T cells
with cells expressing PSMA in a highly specific fashion, thereby
directing the cytotoxic potential of the T cell towards the target
cell. The PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described herein
engage cytotoxic T cells via binding to the surface-expressed CD3
proteins, which form part of the TCR. Simultaneous binding of
several PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein to CD3 and to PSMA
expressed on the surface of particular cells causes T cell
activation and mediates the subsequent lysis of the particular PSMA
expressing cell. Thus, PSMA targeting trispecific proteins are
contemplated to display strong, specific and efficient target cell
killing. In some embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins described herein stimulate target cell killing by
cytotoxic T cells to eliminate pathogenic cells (e.g., tumor cells
expressing PSMA). In some of such embodiments, cells are eliminated
selectively, thereby reducing the potential for toxic side
effects.
[0113] The PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described herein
confer further therapeutic advantages over traditional monoclonal
antibodies and other smaller bispecific molecules. Generally, the
effectiveness of recombinant protein pharmaceuticals depends
heavily on the intrinsic pharmacokinetics of the protein itself.
One such benefit here is that the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins described herein have extended pharmacokinetic elimination
half-time due to having a half-life extension domain such as a
domain specific to HSA. In this respect, the PSMA targeting
trispecific proteins described herein have an extended serum
elimination half-time of about two, three, about five, about seven,
about 10, about 12, or about 14 days in some embodiments. This
contrasts to other binding proteins such as BiTE or DART molecules
which have relatively much shorter elimination half-times. For
example, the BiTE CD19.times.CD3 bispecific scFv-scFv fusion
molecule requires continuous intravenous infusion (i.v.) drug
delivery due to its short elimination half-time. The longer
intrinsic half-times of the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins
solve this issue thereby allowing for increased therapeutic
potential such as low-dose pharmaceutical formulations, decreased
periodic administration and/or novel pharmaceutical
compositions.
[0114] The PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described herein
also have an optimal size for enhanced tissue penetration and
tissue distribution. Larger sizes limit or prevent penetration or
distribution of the protein in the target tissues. The PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins described herein avoid this by
having a small size that allows enhanced tissue penetration and
distribution. Accordingly, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins
described herein, in some embodiments have a size of about 50 kD to
about 80 kD, about 50 kD to about 75 kD, about 50 kD to about 70
kD, or about 50 kD to about 65 kD. Thus, the size of the PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins is advantageous over IgG antibodies
which are about 150 kD and the BiTE and DART diabody molecules
which are about 55 kD but are not half-life extended and therefore
cleared quickly through the kidney.
[0115] In further embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins described herein have an optimal size for enhanced tissue
penetration and distribution. In these embodiments, the PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins are constructed to be as small as
possible, while retaining specificity toward its targets.
Accordingly, in these embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins described herein have a size of about 20 kD to about 40 kD
or about 25 kD to about 35 kD to about 40 kD, to about 45 kD, to
about 50 kD, to about 55 kD, to about 60 kD, to about 65 kD. In
some embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described
herein have a size of about 50 kD, 49, kD, 48 kD, 47 kD, 46 kD, 45
kD, 44 kD, 43 kD, 42 kD, 41 kD, 40 kD, about 39 kD, about 38 kD,
about 37 kD, about 36 kD, about 35 kD, about 34 kD, about 33 kD,
about 32 kD, about 31 kD, about 30 kD, about 29 kD, about 28 kD,
about 27 kD, about 26 kD, about 25 kD, about 24 kD, about 23 kD,
about 22 kD, about 21 kD, or about 20 kD An exemplary approach to
the small size is through the use of single domain antibody (sdAb)
fragments for each of the domains. For example, a particular PSMA
trispecific antigen-binding protein has an anti-CD3 sdAb, anti-HSA
sdAb and an sdAb for PSMA. This reduces the size of the exemplary
PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein to under 40 kD. Thus, in
some embodiments, the domains of the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins are all single domain antibody (sdAb) fragments. In other
embodiments, the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described
herein comprise small molecule entity (SME) binders for HSA and/or
the PSMA. SME binders are small molecules averaging about 500 to
2000 Da in size and are attached to the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins by known methods, such as sortase ligation or conjugation.
In these instances, one of the domains of PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein is a sortase recognition sequence, e.g.,
LPETG (SEQ ID NO: 57). To attach a SME binder to PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein with a sortase recognition sequence, the
protein is incubated with a sortase and a SME binder whereby the
sortase attaches the SME binder to the recognition sequence. Known
SME binders include MIP-1072 and MIP-1095 which bind to
prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). In yet other
embodiments, the domain which binds to PSMA of PSMA targeting
trispecific proteins described herein comprise a knottin peptide
for binding PSMA. Knottins are disulfide-stabilized peptides with a
cysteine knot scaffold and have average sizes about 3.5 kD.
Knottins have been contemplated for binding to certain tumor
molecules such as PSMA. In further embodiments, domain which binds
to PSMA of PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described herein
comprise a natural PSMA ligand.
[0116] Another feature of the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins
described herein is that they are of a single-polypeptide design
with flexible linkage of their domains. This allows for facile
production and manufacturing of the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins as they can be encoded by single cDNA molecule to be
easily incorporated into a vector. Further, because the PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins described herein are a monomeric
single polypeptide chain, there are no chain pairing issues or a
requirement for dimerization. It is contemplated that the PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins described herein have a reduced
tendency to aggregate unlike other reported molecules such as
bispecific proteins with Fc-gamma immunoglobulin domains.
[0117] In the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins described herein,
the domains are linked by internal linkers L1 and L2, where L1
links the first and second domain of the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins and L2 links the second and third domains of the PSMA
targeting trispecific proteins. Linkers L1 and L2 have an optimized
length and/or amino acid composition. In some embodiments, linkers
L1 and L2 are the same length and amino acid composition. In other
embodiments, L1 and L2 are different. In certain embodiments,
internal linkers L1 and/or L2 are "short", i.e., consist of 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 amino acid residues. Thus, in
certain instances, the internal linkers consist of about 12 or less
amino acid residues. In the case of 0 amino acid residues, the
internal linker is a peptide bond. In certain embodiments, internal
linkers L1 and/or L2 are "long", i.e., consist of 15, 20 or 25
amino acid residues. In some embodiments, these internal linkers
consist of about 3 to about 15, for example 8, 9 or 10 contiguous
amino acid residues. Regarding the amino acid composition of the
internal linkers L1 and L2, peptides are selected with properties
that confer flexibility to the PSMA targeting trispecific proteins,
do not interfere with the binding domains as well as resist
cleavage from proteases. For example, glycine and serine residues
generally provide protease resistance. Examples of internal linkers
suitable for linking the domains in the PSMA targeting trispecific
proteins include but are not limited to (GS).sub.n (SEQ ID NO:
157), (GGS).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 158), (GGGS).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 159),
(GGSG).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 160), (GGSGG).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 161), or
(GGGGS).sub.n (SEQ ID NO: 162), wherein n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, or 10. In one embodiment, internal linker L1 and/or L2 is
(GGGGS).sub.4 (SEQ ID NO: 163) or (GGGGS).sub.3 (SEQ ID NO:
164).
PSMA Binding Protein Modifications
[0118] The PSMA binding proteins described herein encompass
derivatives or analogs in which (i) an amino acid is substituted
with an amino acid residue that is not one encoded by the genetic
code, (ii) the mature polypeptide is fused with another compound
such as polyethylene glycol, or (iii) additional amino acids are
fused to the protein, such as a leader or secretory sequence or a
sequence to block an immunogenic domain and/or for purification of
the protein.
[0119] Typical modifications include, but are not limited to,
acetylation, acylation, ADP-ribosylation, amidation, covalent
attachment of flavin, covalent attachment of a heme moiety,
covalent attachment of a nucleotide or nucleotide derivative,
covalent attachment of a lipid or lipid derivative, covalent
attachment of phosphatidylinositol, cross-linking, cyclization,
disulfide bond formation, demethylation, formation of covalent
crosslinks, formation of cystine, formation of pyroglutamate,
formylation, gamma carboxylation, glycosylation, GPI anchor
formation, hydroxylation, iodination, methylation, myristylation,
oxidation, proteolytic processing, phosphorylation, prenylation,
racemization, selenoylation, sulfation, transfer-RNA mediated
addition of amino acids to proteins such as arginylation, and
ubiquitination.
[0120] Modifications are made anywhere in PSMA binding proteins
described herein, including the peptide backbone, the amino acid
side-chains, and the amino or carboxyl termini. Certain common
peptide modifications that are useful for modification of PSMA
binding proteins include glycosylation, lipid attachment,
sulfation, gamma-carboxylation of glutamic acid residues,
hydroxylation, blockage of the amino or carboxyl group in a
polypeptide, or both, by a covalent modification, and
ADP-ribosylation.
Polynucleotides Encoding PSMA Binding Proteins
[0121] Also provided, in some embodiments, are polynucleotide
molecules encoding a PSMA binding protein as described herein. In
some embodiments, the polynucleotide molecules are provided as a
DNA construct. In other embodiments, the polynucleotide molecules
are provided as a messenger RNA transcript.
[0122] The polynucleotide molecules are constructed by known
methods such as by combining the genes encoding the anti-PSMA
binding protein, operably linked to a suitable promoter, and
optionally a suitable transcription terminator, and expressing it
in bacteria or other appropriate expression system such as, for
example CHO cells.
[0123] In some embodiments, the polynucleotide is inserted into a
vector, preferably an expression vector, which represents a further
embodiment. This recombinant vector can be constructed according to
known methods. Vectors of particular interest include plasmids,
phagemids, phage derivatives, virii (e.g., retroviruses,
adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses,
lentiviruses, and the like), and cosmids.
[0124] A variety of expression vector/host systems may be utilized
to contain and express the polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide
of the described PSMA binding protein. Examples of expression
vectors for expression in E. coli are pSKK (Le Gall et al., J
Immunol Methods. (2004) 285(1):111-27), pcDNA5 (Invitrogen) for
expression in mammalian cells, PICHIAPINK.TM. Yeast Expression
Systems (Invitrogen), BACUVANCE.TM. Baculovirus Expression System
(GenScript).
[0125] Thus, the PSMA albumin binding proteins as described herein,
in some embodiments, are produced by introducing a vector encoding
the protein as described above into a host cell and culturing said
host cell under conditions whereby the protein domains are
expressed, may be isolated and, optionally, further purified.
Production of PSMA Binding Proteins
[0126] Disclosed herein, in some embodiments, is a process for the
production of a PSMA binding protein. In some embodiments, the
process comprises culturing a host transformed or transfected with
a vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a PSMA binding
protein under conditions allowing the expression of the PSMA
binding protein and recovering and purifying the produced protein
from the culture.
[0127] In an additional embodiment is provided a process directed
to improving one or more properties, e.g., affinity, stability,
heat tolerance, cross-reactivity, etc., of the PSMA binding
proteins and/or the multispecific binding proteins comprising a
PSMA binding protein described herein, compared to a reference
binding compound. In some embodiments, a plurality of
single-substitution libraries is provided each corresponding to a
different domain, or amino acid segment of the PSMA binding protein
or reference binding compound such that each member of the
single-substitution library encodes only a single amino acid change
in its corresponding domain, or amino acid segment. Typically, this
allows all of the potential substitutions in a large protein or
protein binding site to be probed with a few small libraries. In
some embodiments, the plurality of domains forms or covers a
contiguous sequence of amino acids of the PSMA binding protein or a
reference binding compound. Nucleotide sequences of different
single-substitution libraries overlap with the nucleotide sequences
of at least one other single-substitution library. In some
embodiments, a plurality of single-substitution libraries are
designed so that every member overlaps every member of each
single-substitution library encoding an adjacent domain.
[0128] Binding compounds expressed from such single-substitution
libraries are separately selected to obtain a subset of variants in
each library which has properties at least as good as those of the
reference binding compound and whose resultant library is reduced
in size. Generally, the number of nucleic acids encoding the
selected set of binding compounds is smaller than the number of
nucleic acids encoding members of the original single-substitution
library. Such properties include, but are not limited to, affinity
to a target compound, stability with respect to various conditions
such as heat, high or low pH, enzymatic degradation,
cross-reactivity to other proteins and the like. The selected
compounds from each single-substitution library are referred to
herein interchangeably as "pre-candidate compounds," or
"pre-candidate proteins." Nucleic acid sequences encoding the
pre-candidate compounds from the separate single-substitution
libraries are then shuffled in a PCR to generate a shuffled
library, using PCR-based gene shuffling techniques.
[0129] An exemplary work flow of the screening process is described
herein. Libraries of pre-candidate compounds are generated from
single substitution libraries and selected for binding to the
target protein(s), after which the pre-candidate libraries are
shuffled to produce a library of nucleic acids encoding candidate
compounds which, in turn, are cloned into a convenient expression
vector, such as a phagemid expression system. Phage expressing
candidate compounds then undergo one or more rounds of selection
for improvements in desired properties, such as binding affinity to
a target molecule. Target molecules may be adsorbed or otherwise
attached to a surface of a well or other reaction container, or
target molecules may be derivatized with a binding moiety, such as
biotin, which after incubation with candidate binding compounds may
be captured with a complementary moiety, such as streptavidin,
bound to beads, such as magnetic beads, for washing. In exemplary
selection regimens, the candidate binding compounds undergo a wash
step so that only candidate compounds with very low dissociation
rates from a target molecule are selected. Exemplary wash times for
such embodiments are about 10 minutes, about 15 minutes, about 20
minutes, about 20 minutes, about 30 minutes, about 35 minutes,
about 40 minutes, about 45 minutes, about 50 minutes, about 55
mins, about 1 hour, about 2 hours, about 3 hours, about 4 hours,
about 5 hours, about 6 hours, about 7 hours, about 8 hours; or in
other embodiments, about 24 hours; or in other embodiments, about
48 hours; or in other embodiments, about 72 hours. Isolated clones
after selection are amplified and subjected to an additional cycle
of selection or analyzed, for example by sequencing and by making
comparative measurements of binding affinity, for example, by
ELISA, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), bio-layer interferometry
(e.g., OCTET.RTM. system, Pall Life Sciences, ForteBio, Menlo Park,
Calif.) or the like.
[0130] In some embodiments, the above process is implemented to
identify one or more PSMA binding proteins with improved binding
affinity, improved cross reactivity to a selected set of binding
targets compared to that of a reference PSMA binding protein. In
some embodiments, the reference binding protein is a protein having
the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID No. 4. In some
embodiments, the reference binding protein is a protein having the
amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID No. 19. In certain
embodiments, single substitution libraries are prepared by varying
codons in the VH region of the reference PSMA binding protein,
including codons in framework regions and in the CDRs. In another
embodiment, the locations where codons are varied comprise the CDRs
of the heavy chain of the reference PSMA binding protein, or a
subset of such CDRs, such as solely CDR1, solely CDR2, solely CDR3,
or pairs thereof. In another embodiment, locations where codons are
varied occur solely in framework regions. In some embodiments, a
library comprises single codon changes solely from a reference PSMA
binding protein solely in framework regions of VH numbering in the
range of from 10 to 111. In another embodiment, the locations where
codons are varied comprise the CDR3s of the heavy chain of the
reference PSMA binding protein, or a subset of such CDR3s. In
another embodiment, the number of locations where codons of VH
encoding regions are varied are in the range of from 10 to 111,
such that up to 80 locations are in framework region. After
preparation of the single substitution library, as outlined above,
the following steps are carried out: (a) expressing separately each
member of each single substitution library as a pre-candidate
protein; (b) selecting members of each single substitution library
which encode pre-candidate proteins which bind to a binding partner
that may or may not differ from the original binding target [e.g.,
a desired cross-reaction target(s)]; (c) shuffling members of the
selected libraries in a PCR to produce a combinatorial shuffled
library; (d) expressing members of the shuffled library as
candidate PSMA binding proteins; and (e) selecting members of the
shuffled library one or more times for candidate PSMA binding
proteins which bind the original binding partner and potentially
(f) further selecting the candidate proteins for binding to the
desired cross-reactive target(s) thereby providing a nucleic acid
encoded PSMA binding protein with increased cross reactivity for
the one or more substances with respect to the reference PSMA
binding protein without loss of affinity for the original ligand.
In additional embodiments, the method may be implemented for
obtaining a PSMA binding protein with decreased reactivity to a
selected cross-reactive substance(s) or compound(s) or epitope(s)
by substituting step (f) with the following step: depleting
candidate binding compounds one or more times from the subset of
candidate PSMA binding protein which bind to the undesired
cross-reactive compound.

EXAMPLES
[0146] The examples below further illustrate the described
embodiments without limiting the scope of the invention.
Example 1: Generation of Anti-PSMA Single Domain Antibody Variants
with Equivalent or Improved Binding Properties to a Parental
Anti-PSMA Single Domain Antibody
Characterization of Parental Anti-PSMA Phage
[0147] Specific binding of the parental anti-PSMA phage to an PSMA
antigen was determined, (Table 1)
Single Substitution PSMA sdAb Phage Libraries Selected on Cyno
PSMA
[0148] A single substitution library was provided for each of the
three CDR domains. Single substitution libraries were bound to
cynomolgus PSMA and then washed in buffer for 30 minutes. Phages
bound at 0 and 30 minutes were rescued and counted. Phages selected
using a 30-minute wash in the buffer were used to create two
independent combinatorial phage libraries.
Combinatorial Anti-PSMA Libraries
[0149] Cynomolgus PSMA was used as the selection target for three
rounds of selection. Wells were washed for 2 to 4 hours after
combinatorial phage binding from two independent libraries for
three rounds of selection. Inserts PCRed from the third round of
selection were subcloned into the p34 expression vector. 96 clones
were picked, DNA was purified, sequenced, and transfected into
Expi293 cells.
Single Substitution PSMA sdAb Phage Libraries Selected on
huPSMA
[0150] A single substitution library was provided for each of the
three CDR domains. Single substitution libraries were bound to
human PSMA and then washed in buffer containing 30 .mu.g/ml h
PSMA-Fc for 24 hours. Phages bound at 0 and 24 hours were rescued
and counted. Phages selected using the 24-hour competitive wash
were used to create a combinatorial phage library.
Combinatorial Anti-PSMA Libraries
[0151] Human PSMA was used as the selection target for three rounds
of selection. Wells were washed in buffer containing 30
.mu.g/ml-850 .mu.g/ml human PSMA-Fc for 24-96 hours after
combinatorial phage binding for three rounds of selection. Inserts
PCRed from the third round of selection were subcloned into the p34
expression vector. 96 clones were picked, DNA was purified,
sequenced, and transfected into Expi293 cells.
Binding Affinity Measurement
[0152] Supernatants were used to estimate Kd, kon, and koff (or
kdis) to human and cynomolgus PSMA using the OCTET.RTM. system.
Several clones were selected for further characterization (Table
1), based on their binding affinities, and association and
dissociation rate constants for interaction with human PSMA,
compared to the parental sdAb as well as robust production,
aggregation and stability profiles. The parental sdAb is listed as
Anti-PSMA wt sdAb.6his in Table 1.

Example 2: Methods to Assess Binding and Cytotoxic Activities of an
Exemplary PSMA Targeting Trispecific Antigen-Binding Molecules
[0153] Protein Production
[0154] Sequences of trispecific molecules were cloned into
mammalian expression vector pcDNA 3.4 (Invitrogen) preceded by a
leader sequence and followed by a 6.times. Histidine Tag (SEQ ID
NO: 33). Expi293F cells (Life Technologies A14527) were maintained
in suspension in Optimum Growth Flasks (Thomson) between 0.2 to
8.times.1e6 cells/ml in Expi293 media. Purified plasmid DNA was
transfected into Expi293 cells in accordance with Expi293
Expression System Kit (Life Technologies, A14635) protocols, and
maintained for 4-6 days post transfection. Conditioned media was
partially purified by affinity and desalting chromatography.
Trispecific proteins were subsequently polished by ion exchange or,
alternatively, concentrated with AMICON.TM. Ultra centrifugal
filtration units (EMD Millipore), applied to SUPERDEX.TM. 200 size
exclusion media (GE Healthcare) and resolved in a neutral buffer
containing excipients. Fraction pooling and final purity were
assessed by SDS-PAGE and analytical SEC.
[0155] Affinity Measurements
[0156] The affinities of the all binding domains molecules were
measured by biolayer inferometry using an Octet instrument.
[0157] PSMA affinities were measured by loading human PSMA-Fc
protein (100 nM) onto anti-human IgG Fc biosensors for 120 seconds,
followed by a 60 second baseline, after which associations were
measured by incubating the sensor tip in a dilution series of the
trispecific molecules for 180 seconds, followed by dissociation for
50 seconds. EGFR and CD3 affinities were measured by loading human
EGFR-Fc protein or human CD3-Flag-Fc protein, respectively, (100
nM) onto anti-human IgG Fc biosensors for 120 seconds, followed by
a 60 second baseline, after which associations were measured by
incubating the sensor tip in a dilution series of the trispecific
molecules for 180 seconds, followed by dissociation for 300
seconds. Affinities to human serum albumin (HSA) were measured by
loading biotinylated albumin onto streptavidin biosensors, then
following the same kinetic parameters as for CD3 affinity
measurements. All steps were performed at 30.degree. C. in 0.25%
casein in phosphate-buffered saline.
[0158] Cytotoxicity Assays
[0159] A human T-cell dependent cellular cytotoxicity (TDCC) assay
was used to measure the ability of T cell engagers, including
trispecific molecules, to direct T cells to kill tumor cells
(Nazarian et al. 2015. J Biomol Screen. 20:519-27). In this assay,
T cells and target cancer cell line cells are mixed together at a
10:1 ratio in a 384 wells plate, and varying amounts of T cell
engager are added. After 48 hours, the T cells are washed away
leaving attached to the plate target cells that were not killed by
the T cells. To quantitate the remaining viable cells,
CELLTITER-GLO.RTM. Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega) is
used. In some cases, the target cells are engineered to express
luciferase. In these cases, viability of the target cells is
assessed by performing a luminescent luciferase assay with
STEADYGLO.RTM. reagent (Promega), where viability is directly
proportional to the amount of luciferase activity.
[0160] Stability Assays
[0161] The stability of the trispecific binding proteins was
assessed at low concentrations in the presence of non-human primate
serum. TRITAC.TM. molecules were diluted to 33 .mu.g/ml in
Cynomolgus serum (BioReclamationIVT) and either incubated for 2 d
at 37.degree. C. or subjected to five freeze/thaw cycles. Following
the treatment, the samples were assessed in cytotoxicity (TDCC)
assays and their remaining activity was compared to untreated stock
solutions.
[0162] Xenograft Assays
[0163] The in vivo efficacy of trispecific binding proteins was
assessed in xenograft experiments (Crown Bioscience, Taicang).
NOD/SCID mice deficient in the common gamma chain (NCG, Model
Animal Research Center of Nanjing University) were inoculated on
day 0 with a mixture of 5e6 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells and
5e6 resting, human T cells that were isolated from a healthy, human
donor. The mice were randomized into three groups, and treated with
vehicle, 0.5 mg/kg PSMA TRITAC.TM. C324 or 0.5 mg/kg PSMA BiTE.
Treatments were administered daily for 10 days via i.v. bolus
injection. Animals were checked daily for morbidity and mortality.
Tumor volumes were determined twice weekly with a caliper. The
study was terminated after 30 days.
[0164] PK Assays
[0165] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the single dose
pharmacokinetics of trispecific binding proteins following
intravenous injection. 2 experimentally naive cynomolgus monkeys
per group (1 male and 1 female) were given compound via a slow IV
bolus injection administered over approximately 1 minute. Following
dose administration, cage side observations were performed once
daily and body weights were recorded weekly. Blood samples were
collected and processed to serum for pharmacokinetic analysis
through 21 days post dose administration.
[0166] Concentrations of test articles were determined from monkey
serum with an electroluminescent readout (Meso Scale Diagnostics,
Rockville). 96 well plates with immobilized, recombinant CD3 were
used to capture the analyte. Detection was performed with
sulfo-tagged, recombinant PSMA on a MSD reader according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Example 3: Assessing the Impact of CD3 Affinity on the Properties
of Exemplary PSMA Targeting Trispecific Molecules
[0167] PSMA targeting trispecific molecules with distinct CD3
binding domains were studied to demonstrate the effects of altering
CD3 affinity. An exemplary PSMA targeting trispecific molecule is
illustrated in FIG. 1. Table 2 lists the affinity of each molecule
for the three binding partners (PSMA, CD3, HSA). Affinities were
measured by biolayer interferometry using an Octet instrument (Pall
Forte Bio). Reduced CD3 affinity leads to a loss in potency in
terms of T cell mediated cellular toxicity (FIGS. 2A-C). The
pharmacokinetic properties of these trispecific molecules were
assessed in cynomolgus monkeys. Molecules with high affinity for
CD3 like TRITAC.TM. C236 have a terminal half-life of approx. 90 h
(FIG. 3). Despite the altered ability to bind CD3 on T cells, the
terminal half-life of two molecules with different CD3 affinities
shown in FIG. 4 is very similar. However, the reduced CD3 affinity
appears to lead to a larger volume of distribution, which is
consistent with reduced sequestration of trispecific molecule by T
cells. There were no adverse clinical observations or body weight
changes noted during the study period.

three binding partners (PSMA, CD3, HSA). Reduced PSMA affinity
leads to a loss in potency in terms of T cell mediated cellular

Example 5: In Vivo Efficacy of Exemplary PSMA Targeting Trispecific
Molecules
[0169] The PSMA targeting trispecific molecule C324 was assessed
for its ability to inhibit the growth of tumors in mice. For this
experiment, immunocompromised mice reconstituted with human T cells
were subcutaneously inoculated with PSMA expressing human prostate
tumor cells (22Rv1) and treated daily for 10 days with 0.5 mg/kg
i.v. of either PSMA targeting BiTE or TRITAC.TM. molecules. Tumor
growth was measured for 30. Over the course of the experiment, the
trispecific molecule was able to inhibit tumor growth with an
efficacy comparable to a BiTE molecule (FIG. 6).
Example 6: Specificity of Exemplary PSMA Targeting Trispecific
Molecules
[0170] In order to assess the specificity of PSMA targeting
TRITAC.TM. molecules, their ability to induce T cells to kill tumor
cells was tested with tumor cells that are negative for PSMA (FIG.
7A). An EGFR targeting TRITAC.TM. molecule served as positive
control, a GFP targeting TRITAC.TM. molecule as negative control.
All three TRITAC.TM. molecules with distinct PSMA binding domains
showed the expected activity against the PSMA positive cell line
LNCaP (FIG. 7B), but did not reach EC50s in the PSMA negative tumor
cell lines KMS12BM and OVCAR8 (FIGS. 7C and 7D). The EC50s are
summarized in Table 4. At very high TRITAC.TM. concentrations
(>1 nM), some limited off-target cell killing could be observed
for TRITAC.TM. molecules C362 and C363, while C364 did not show
significant cell killing under any of the tested conditions.

Example 7: Stress Tests and Protein Stability
[0171] Four PSMA targeting trispecific molecules were either
incubated for 48 h in Cynomolgus serum at low concentrations (33.3
.mu.g/ml) or subjected to five freeze thaw cycles in Cynomolgus
serum. After the treatment, the bio-activity of the TRITAC.TM.
molecules was assessed in cell killing assays and compared to
unstressed samples ("positive control", FIG. 8A-D). All molecules
maintained the majority of their cell killing activity. TRITAC.TM.
C362 was the most stress resistant and did not appear to lose any
activity under the conditions tested here.
Example 8: Xenograft Tumor Model
[0172] The PSMA targeting trispecific proteins of the previous
examples are evaluated in a xenograft model.
[0173] Male immune-deficient NCG mice are subcutaneously inoculated
with 5.times.10.sup.6 22Rv1 cells into their right dorsal flank.
When tumors reach 100 to 200 mm.sup.3, animals are allocated into 3
treatment groups. Groups 2 and 3 (8 animals each) are
intraperitoneally injected with 1.5.times.10.sup.7 activated human
T-cells. Three days later, animals from Group 3 are subsequently
treated with a total of 9 intravenous doses of 50 .mu.g of the
exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein (qdx9d). Groups
1 and 2 are only treated with vehicle. Body weight and tumor volume
are determined for 30 days. It is expected that tumor growth in
mice treated with the PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein is
significantly reduced in comparison to the tumor growth in
respective vehicle-treated control group.

Administration of the Exemplary PSMA Trispecific Antigen-Binding
Protein to Prostate Cancer Patients
[0174] This is a Phase I/II clinical trial for studying the PSMA
trispecific antigen-binding protein of Example 1 as a treatment for
Prostate Cancer.

unmanageable side effects in participants. The dose given will
depend on the number of participants who have been enrolled in the
study prior and how well the dose was tolerated. Not all
participants will receive the same dose.
[0185] Phase II [0186] 2.1 A subsequent phase II section will be

Example 10: Activity of an Exemplary PSMA Antigen-Binding Protein
(PSMA Targeting TRITAC.TM. Molecule) in Redirected T Cell Killing
Assays Using a Panel of PSMA Expressing Cell Lines and T Cells from
Different Donors
[0195] This study was carried out to demonstrate that the activity
of the exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein is not
limited to LNCaP cells or a single cell donor.
[0196] Redirected T cell killing assays were performed using T
cells from four different donors and the human PSMA-expressing
prostate cancer cell lines VCaP, LNCaP, MDAPCa2b, and 22Rv1. With
one exception, the PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein was
able to direct killing of these cancer cell lines using T cells
from all donors with EC.sub.50 values of 0.2 to 1.5 pM, as shown in
Table 5. With the prostate cancer cell line 22 Rv1 and Donor 24,
little to no killing was observed (data not shown). Donor 24 also
only resulted approximately 50% killing of the MDAPCa2b cell line
whereas T cells from the other 3 donors resulted in almost complete
killing of this cell line (data not shown). Control assays
demonstrated that killing by the PSMA trispecific antigen-binding
protein was PSMA specific. No killing was observed when
PSMA-expressing cells were treated with a control trispecific
protein targeting green fluorescent protein (GFP) instead of PSMA
(data not shown). Similarly, the PSMA trispecific antigen-binding
protein was inactive with cell lines that lack PSMA expression,
NCI-1563 and HCT116, also shown in Table 5.

Example 11: Stimulation of Cytokine Expression in by an Exemplary
PSMA Trispecific Antigen-Binding Protein (PSMA Targeting TRITAC.TM.
Molecule) in Redirected T Cell Killing Assays
[0197] This study was carried out to demonstrate activation of T
cells by the exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein
during redirected T cell killing assays by measuring secretion of
cytokine into the assay medium by activated T cells.
[0198] Conditioned media collected from redirected T cell killing
assays, as described above in Example 9, were analyzed for
expression of the cytokines TNF.alpha. and IFN.gamma.. Cytokines
were measured using AlphaLISA assays (Perkin-Elmer). Adding a
titration of the PSMA antigen-binding protein to T cells from four
different donors and four PSMA-expressing cell lines, LNCaP, VCaP,
MDAPCa2b, and 22Rv1 resulted in increased levels of TNF.alpha.. The
results for TNF.alpha. expression and IFN.gamma. expression levels
in the conditioned media are shown in Tables 6 and 7, respectively.
The EC.sub.50 values for the PSMA antigen-binding protein induced
expression of these cytokines ranged from 3 to 15 pM. Increased
cytokine levels were not observed with a control trispecific
protein targeting GFP. Similarly, when assays were performed with
two cell lines that lack PSMA expression, HCT116 and NCI-H1563,
PSMA HTS TRITAC.TM. also did not increase TNF.alpha. or IFN.gamma.

Example 12: Activity of an Exemplary PSMA Trispecific
Antigen-Binding Protein (PSMA Targeting TRITAC.TM.) in Redirected T
Cell Killing Assay (TDCC) Using T Cells from Cynomolgus Monkeys
[0199] This study was carried out to test the ability of the
exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein to direct T
cells from cynomolgus monkeys to kill PSMA-expressing cell
lines.
[0200] TDCC assays were set up using peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMCs) from cynomolgus monkeys. Cyno PBMCs were added to
LNCaP cells at a 10:1 ratio. It was observed that the PSMA
trispecific antigen-binding protein redirected killing of LNCaP by
the cyno PBMCs with an EC.sub.50 value of 11 pM. The result is
shown in FIG. 9A. To confirm these results, a second cell line was
used, MDAPCa2b, and PBMCs from a second cynomolgus monkey donor
were tested. Redirected killing of the target cells was observed
with an EC.sub.50 value of 2.2 pM. The result is shown in FIG. 9B.
Killing was specific to the anti-PSMA arm of the PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein as killing was not observed with a negative
control trispecific protein targeting GFP. These data demonstrate
that the PSMA antigen-binding trispecific protein can direct
cynomolgus T cells to kill target cells expressing human PSMA.
Example 13: Expression of Markers of T Cell Activation in Redirect
T Cell Killing Assays with an Exemplary PSMA Trispecific
Antigen-Binding Protein (PSMA Targeting TRITAC.TM. Molecule)
[0201] This study was performed to assess whether T cells were
activated when the exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding
protein directed the T cells to kill target cells.
[0202] The assays were set up using conditions for the redirected T
cell killings assays described in the above example. T cell
activation was assessed by measuring expression of CD25 and CD69 on
the surface of the T cells using flow cytometry. The PSMA
trispecific antigen-binding protein was added to a 10:1 mixture of
purified human T cells and the prostate cancer cell line VCaP. Upon
addition of increasing amounts of the PSMA trispecific
antigen-binding protein, increased CD69 expression and CD25
expression was observed, as shown in FIG. 10. EC.sub.50 value was
0.3 pM for CD69 and 0.2 pM for CD25. A trispecific protein
targeting GFP was included in these assays as negative control, and
little to no increase in CD69 or CD25 expression is observed with
the GFP targeting trispecific protein, also shown in FIG. 10.
Example 14: Stimulation of T Cell Proliferation by an Exemplary
PSMA Trispecific Antigen-Binding Protein (PSMA Targeting TRITAC.TM.
Molecule) in the Presence of PSMA Expressing Target Cells
[0203] This study was used as an additional method to demonstrate
that the exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein was
able to activate T cells when it redirects them to kill target
cells.
[0204] T cell proliferation assays were set up using the conditions
of the T cell redirected killing assay using LNCaP target cells, as
described above, and measuring the number of T cells present at 72
hours. The exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein
stimulated proliferation with an EC.sub.50 value of 0.5 pM. As
negative control, a trispecific protein targeting GFP was included
in the assay, and no increased proliferation was observed with this
protein. The results for the Tcell proliferation assay are
illustrated in FIG. 11.
Example 15: Redirected T Cell Killing of LNCaP Cells by an
Exemplary PSMA Trispecific Antigen-Binding Proteins (PSMA Targeting
TRITAC.TM. Molecule Z2)
[0205] This study was carried out to test the ability of an
exemplary PSMA trispecific antigen-binding protein, having the
sequence asset forth in SEQ ID No: 156, to redirect T cells to kill
the LNCaP cell line.
[0206] In TDCC assays, set up as described in above examples, the
PSMA Z2 TRITAC.TM. (SEQ ID NO: 156) protein directed killing with
an EC.sub.50 value of 0.8 pM, as shown in FIG. 12.
