Description
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 ANTIBODY-DRUG CONJUGATE METABOLITES [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.63/590,288, filed on October 13, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. [0002] The present disclosure relates to methods of analysis of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), e.g., those comprising eribulin, and the quantitative assessment of intact ADC or metabolites thereof in vitro and in vivo. Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof suitable for use in the assays are also disclosed. BACKGROUND [0003] When analyzing ADCs, for example to provide quantitative assessment of ADC concentration and metabolism in vitro or in vivo, the typical assays performed involve assessing total antibody (both conjugated and unconjugated antibody), intact ADC (all conjugated antibody species with drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) > 0, generally measured in a DAR-insensitive manner), and free payload. Assessment of total antibody and intact ADC are almost exclusively determined using immunoassay methods, while free payload is typically measured by quantitative mass spectrometry. While providing valuable information on components of ADC metabolism, these assays often do not provide a complete picture of the overall metabolic process. Intact ADC assays are typically DAR-insensitive, i.e., all DAR species are recovered equally, which simplifies the interpretation of pharmacokinetic analyses by reducing the complexity of test agent to a single species – conjugated antibody. However, intact ADC assays can overrepresent ADC stability, especially for ADCs with higher starting DAR (e.g., DAR4 to DAR8 or higher). These ADCs could lose all but one of their conjugated payloads or linker-payloads to chemical or enzymatic processes and still be quantitated in the intact ADC assay as “intact.” Furthermore, other biologically active payload-containing metabolites could be generated in the process of ADC metabolism, and these would not be captured solely with a free payload assay. Thus, a need remains for improved ADC analytical assays. [0004] One option for improved assays could comprise immunological methods. The measurement of intact ADC by immunological methods, however, requires the use of specific immunoreagents (typically antibodies or antigen-binding fragments) that recognize either the payload alone or the linker-payload, wherein the epitope is comprised of components of both
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 the linker and payload. Antibodies that recognize the payload alone have the added benefit that they can be used in assays to quantify ADC properties where the payload is paired with many different linker structures, making them useful in early-stage conjugate research activities where the final linker-payload structure is not fixed. Payload-recognizing agents with desirable features of high affinity and specificity for the payload alone may have broader utility beyond use in intact ADC assays, such as in immunodepletion of ADCs, immunopurification of conjugated species, and immunohistochemical analyses of ADCs in tissues. [0005] Maleimide-based ADCs can undergo a process in matrix and in circulation known as retro-Michael deconjugation, where the intact maleimide linker-payload is released. Maleimides are highly reactive, have very short half-lives in plasma, and have several potential metabolic fates (FIG.1). In some instances, these linker-payload species may represent the majority of payload-related metabolites in circulation. These metabolites are typically measured using mass spectrometry. However, the quantitative assessment of these species by mass spectrometry represents an analytical challenge because each linker-payload metabolite has a unique mass and thus requires a separate assay. Furthermore, protein conjugate metabolites, such as albumin conjugates, would not be amenable to mass spectrometry methods for quantitation. It would therefore be beneficial to have a method to quantitate additional metabolites or all non-antibody conjugated linker-payload metabolites in total. [0006] Accordingly, in various embodiments, the present disclosure provides improved methods and reagents for detecting and quantifying intact antibody-drug conjugates, constituent antibody-drug conjugate parts such as a linker-payload, e.g., Mal-(PEG)2-VCP- eribulin, and metabolites in a biological sample.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0078] The disclosed compositions and methods may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying figures, which form a part of this disclosure. It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting of the claimed compositions and methods unless the context indicates otherwise. [0079] Throughout this text, the descriptions refer to compositions and methods of using the compositions. Where the disclosure describes or claims a feature or embodiment associated with a composition, such a feature or embodiment is equally applicable to the methods of using the composition. Likewise, where the disclosure describes or claims a feature or embodiment associated with a method of using a composition, such a feature or embodiment is equally applicable to the composition. [0080] When a range of values is expressed, it includes embodiments using any particular value within the range. Further, reference to values stated in ranges includes each and every value within that range. All ranges are inclusive of their endpoints and combinable. When values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. Reference to a particular numerical value includes at least that particular value unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The use of “or” will mean “and/or” unless the specific context of its use dictates otherwise. All references cited herein are incorporated by reference for any purpose. Where a reference and the specification conflict, the specification will control.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [0081] It is to be appreciated that certain features of the disclosed compositions and methods, which are, for clarity, described herein in the context of separate embodiments, may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the disclosed compositions and methods that are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any subcombination. Definitions [0082] Various terms relating to aspects of the description are used throughout the specification and claims. Such terms are to be given their ordinary meaning in the art unless otherwise indicated. Other specifically defined terms are to be construed in a manner consistent with the definitions provided herein. [0083] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. [0084] The terms "about" or "approximately" in the context of numerical values and ranges refers to values or ranges that approximate or are close to the recited values or ranges such that the embodiment may perform as intended, such as having a desired amount of nucleic acids or polypeptides in a reaction mixture, as is apparent to the skilled person from the teachings contained herein. Thus, these terms encompass values beyond those resulting from systematic error. In some embodiments, about means plus or minus 10% of a numerical amount. [0085] The terms “antibody-drug conjugate,” “antibody conjugate,” “conjugate,” “immunoconjugate,” and “ADC” are used interchangeably, and refer to a therapeutic compound (e.g., an eribulin moiety) that is linked to an antibody moiety and is defined by the generic formula: Ab-(L-D)p (Formula I), wherein Ab is an antibody moiety (e.g., an antibody or antigen-binding fragment), L is a linker moiety, D is a drug moiety (e.g., an eribulin drug moiety), and p is the number of drug moieties per antibody moiety. In ADCs comprising an eribulin drug moiety, “p” refers to the number of eribulin moieties linked to the antibody moiety. In some embodiments, the linker L can include a cleavable moiety that can either directly attach to the antibody moiety and to the therapeutic compound, or the cleavable moiety can be attached to either or both the antibody moiety and therapeutic compound by spacer unit(s). In some embodiments, when a spacer unit attaches the cleavable moiety to the therapeutic compound, it is a self-immolative spacer unit.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [0086] As used herein, “intact,” in the context of an ADC, refers to an ADC that remains attached to its original number of linker-payload moieties, e.g., if an ADC has DAR4, an “intact” ADC has an average ratio of 4 linker-payload moieties per antibody in solution, e.g., plasma. [0087] The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense to refer to an immunoglobulin molecule that recognizes and specifically binds to a target, such as a protein, polypeptide, carbohydrate, polynucleotide, lipid, or combinations of the foregoing through at least one antigen recognition site within the variable region of the immunoglobulin molecule. The heavy chain of an antibody is composed of a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The light chain is composed of a light chain variable domain (VL) and a light chain constant domain (CL). For the purposes of this application, the mature heavy chain and light chain variable domains each comprise three complementarity determining regions (CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3) within four framework regions (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4) arranged from N-terminus to C-terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. An “antibody” can be naturally occurring or man-made, such as monoclonal antibodies produced by conventional hybridoma technology. The term “antibody” includes full-length monoclonal antibodies and full-length polyclonal antibodies, as well as antibody fragments such as Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fv, and single chain antibodies. An antibody can be any one of the five major classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, or subclasses thereof (e.g., isotypes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4). The term further encompasses human antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies and any modified immunoglobulin molecule containing an antigen recognition site, so long as it demonstrates the desired biological activity. [0088] The term “monoclonal antibody,” as used herein, refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic epitope. In contrast, conventional (polyclonal) antibody preparations typically include a multitude of antibodies directed against (or specific for) different epitopes. The modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present disclosure may be made by the hybridoma method first described by Kohler et al. (1975) Nature 256:495, or may be made by recombinant DNA methods (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No.4,816,567). Monoclonal antibodies may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in Clackson et al. (1991) Nature 352:624-8, and Marks et al. (1991) J. Mol. Biol.222:581-97, for example. [0089] The monoclonal antibodies described herein specifically include “chimeric” antibodies, in which a portion of the heavy and/or light chain is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they specifically bind the target antigen and/or exhibit the desired biological activity. [0090] The term “chimeric antibody,” as used herein, refers to antibodies wherein the amino acid sequence of the immunoglobulin molecule is derived from two or more species. In some instances, the variable regions of both heavy and light chains correspond to the variable regions of antibodies derived from one species with the desired specificity, affinity, and activity while the constant regions are homologous to antibodies derived from another species (e.g., human) to minimize an immune response in the latter species. [0091] As used herein, the term “humanized antibody” refers to forms of antibodies that contain sequences from non-human (e.g., rabbit) antibodies as well as human antibodies. Such antibodies are chimeric antibodies which contain minimal sequences derived from non- human immunoglobulin. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non-human immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the framework (FR) regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody optionally also will comprise at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region (Fc), typically that of a human immunoglobulin. The humanized antibody can be further modified by the substitution of residues, either in the Fv framework region and/or within the replaced non-human residues to refine and optimize antibody specificity, affinity, and/or activity.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [0092] The term “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” or “antigen- binding portion” of an antibody, as used herein, refers to one or more fragments of an antibody or protein that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (e.g., eribulin). Antigen-binding fragments may also retain the ability to internalize into an antigen- expressing cell. In some embodiments, antigen-binding fragments also retain immune effector activity. It has been shown that fragments of a full-length antibody can perform the antigen-binding function of a full-length antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term “antigen-binding fragment,” “antigen-binding domain,” or “antigen-binding portion” of an antibody include (i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab')2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (iv) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; (v) a dAb fragment, which comprises a single variable domain, e.g., a VH domain (see, e.g., Ward et al. (1989) Nature 341:544-6; and Intl. Pub. No. WO 1990/005144); and (vi) an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR). Furthermore, although the two domains of the Fv fragment, VL and VH, are coded for by separate genes, they can be joined, using recombinant methods, by a synthetic linker that enables them to be made as a single protein chain in which the VL and VH regions pair to form monovalent molecules (known as single chain Fv (scFv)). See, e.g., Bird et al. (1988) Science 242:423-6; and Huston et al. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-83. Such single chain antibodies are also intended to be encompassed within the term “antigen-binding fragment” or “antigen-binding portion” of an antibody, and are known in the art as an exemplary type of binding fragment that can internalize into cells upon binding (see, e.g., Zhu et al. (2010) 9:2131-41; He et al. (2010) J. Nucl. Med.51:427-32; and Fitting et al. (2015) MAbs 7:390-402). In certain embodiments, scFv molecules may be incorporated into a fusion protein. Other forms of single chain antibodies, such as diabodies, are also encompassed. Diabodies are bivalent, bispecific antibodies in which VH and VL domains are expressed on a single polypeptide chain, but using a linker that is too short to allow for pairing between the two domains on the same chain, thereby forcing the domains to pair with complementary domains of another chain and creating two antigen-binding sites (see e.g., Holliger et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-8; and Poljak et al. (1994) Structure 2:1121-3). Antigen-binding fragments are obtained using conventional techniques
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 known to those of skill in the art, and the binding fragments are screened for utility (e.g., binding affinity, internalization) in the same manner as are intact antibodies. Antigen-binding fragments may be prepared by cleavage of the intact protein, e.g., by protease or chemical cleavage. [0093] “Internalizing” as used herein in reference to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment refers to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment that is capable of being taken through the cell’s lipid bilayer membrane to an internal compartment (i.e., “internalized”) upon binding to the cell, typically into a degradative compartment in the cell. For example, an internalizing anti-eribulin antibody is one that is capable of being taken into the cell after binding to eribulin on the cell membrane. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen- binding fragment used in the ADCs disclosed herein targets a cell surface antigen (e.g., eribulin) via an internalizing antibody or internalizing antigen-binding fragment (allowing the ADC to transfer through the cellular membrane after antigen-binding). [0094] The term “mesothelin” or “MSLN,” as used herein, refers to any native form of human mesothelin (MSLN). The term encompasses full-length mesothelin (e.g., NCBI Reference Sequence: AAC50348.1; SEQ ID NO: 271), as well as any form of human mesothelin that results from cellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of mesothelin, including but not limited to splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms. Mesothelin can be isolated from a human, or may be produced recombinantly or by synthetic methods. The term may also encompass any synthetic variant to which an anti-mesothelin antibody, e.g., an antibody disclosed herein, and/or antigen-binding fragment, can specifically bind. [0095] The term “anti-MSLN antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds MSLN” refers to any form of antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds MSLN, and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind MSLN. Preferably the anti-MSLN antibody used in the ADCs disclosed herein is an internalizing antibody or internalizing antibody fragment.345A12-HC15-LC4 (“345A12”) is an exemplary internalizing anti-human MSLN antibody. An anti-MSLN antibody may be conjugated to a drug, e.g., eribulin, via a linker. Exemplary antibody-drug conjugates comprising anti-MSLN antibodies are known in the literature and include MORAb-109. The structure of MORAb-109 is as shown in US Patent Serial No.11,572,414, which is
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 incorporated herein by reference for all ADC and linker-payload structures and methods of synthesizing those structures. In some embodiments, MORAb-109 comprises an anti-MSLN antibody or antigen-binding fragment, 345A12-HC15-LC4, a cleavable linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit-pAB, and a payload comprising eribulin (see Table 1). [0096] The term “folate receptor alpha” or “FRA,” as used herein, refers to any native form of human FRA. The term encompasses full-length FRA (e.g., NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_000793; SEQ ID NO: 270), as well as any form of human FRA that results from cellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of FRA, including but not limited to splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms. FRA can be isolated from a human or may be produced recombinantly or by synthetic methods. [0097] The term “anti-FRA antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds FRA” refers to any form of antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds FRA, and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind FRA. Preferably the anti-FRA antibody used in the ADCs disclosed herein is an internalizing antibody or internalizing antibody fragment. MORAb-003 is an exemplary internalizing anti- human FRA antibody. As used herein, the term “MORAb-003” and “farletuzumab” are interchangeable. An anti-FRA antibody may be conjugated to a drug, e.g., eribulin, via a linker. Exemplary antibody-drug conjugates comprising anti-FRA antibodies are known in the literature and include MORAb-202. The structure of MORAb-202 is as shown in US Patent Serial No.10,322,192, which is incorporated herein by reference for all ADC and linker-payload structures and methods of synthesizing those structures. In some embodiments, MORAb-202 comprises the anti-FRA antibody farletuzumab, a cleavable linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit-pAB, and a payload comprising eribulin (see Table 1). Table 1.

[0098] The term “human epidermal growth factor receptor 2,” “HER2,” or “HER2/neu,” as used herein, refers to any native form of human HER2. The term encompasses full-length
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 her2 (e.g., NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_004439.2; SEQ ID NO: 272), as well as any form of human her2 that results from cellular processing. The term also encompasses naturally occurring variants of her2, including but not limited to splice variants, allelic variants, and isoforms. Her2 can be isolated from human, or may be produced recombinantly or by synthetic methods. An anti-HER2 antibody may be conjugated to a drug, e.g., eribulin, via a linker. Exemplary ADCs comprising anti-HER2 antibodies are known in the literature. [0099] The term “anti-ID antibody” or “anti-idiotypic antibody” refers to an antibody that binds the idiotype, i.e., variable region, of a second antibody. Exemplary anti-ID antibodies include anti-farletuzumab antibodies (e.g., 2G9) and anti-345A12 antibodies (e.g., M000053) as described herein. [00100] The term “anti-eribulin antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds eribulin” or “eribulin-specific antibody” refers to any form of antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds eribulin, and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind eribulin. In some embodiments, 5E4 is an exemplary eribulin-specific antibody. [00101] The term “anti-linker antibody” refers to any form of antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds a linker. As an example, an “anti-VCP antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds VCP” or “VCP-specific antibody” or “antibody that specifically binds a linker-payload comprising VCP” is an antibody that binds a linker comprising valine-citruline-p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (VCP), and encompasses monoclonal antibodies (including full-length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, and biologically functional antibody fragments so long as they specifically bind VCP. In some embodiments, 11G6 is an exemplary VCP-specific antibody. An anti-linker antibody may bind the linker when conjugated to an antibody and/or payload, or it may bind only when the linker is liberated from one or more of the other components, or it may bind in both contexts. [00102] As used herein, the terms “specific,” “specifically binds,” and “binds specifically” refer to the selective binding of an antibody to a target antigen epitope. Antibodies can be tested for specificity of binding by comparing binding to an appropriate antigen with binding to an irrelevant antigen or antigen mixture under a given set of conditions. Methods for measuring antibody binding affinity and kinetics are known in the art and include, e.g.,
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 Biacore. If the antibody binds to the appropriate antigen with at least 2, 5, 7, or 10 times greater affinity than to the irrelevant antigen or antigen mixture, then it is considered to be specific. A “specific antibody” or “target-specific antibody” is one that only binds the target antigen (e.g., farletuzumab, 345A12, or human IgG Fc), but does not bind (or exhibits minimal binding to) other antigens. [00103] The term “epitope” refers to the portion of an antigen capable of being recognized and specifically bound by an antibody. When the antigen is a polypeptide, epitopes can be formed from contiguous amino acids or noncontiguous amino acids juxtaposed by tertiary folding of the polypeptide. The epitope bound by an antibody may be identified using any epitope mapping technique known in the art, including X-ray crystallography for epitope identification by direct visualization of the antigen-antibody complex, as well as monitoring the binding of the antibody to fragments or mutated variations of the antigen, or monitoring solvent accessibility of different parts of the antibody and the antigen. Exemplary strategies used to map antibody epitopes include, but are not limited to, array-based oligo-peptide scanning, limited proteolysis, site-directed mutagenesis, high-throughput mutagenesis mapping, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, and mass spectrometry (see, e.g., Gershoni et al. (2007) 21:145-56; and Hager-Braun and Tomer (2005) Expert Rev. Proteomics 2:745-56). [00104] Competitive binding and epitope binning can also be used to determine antibodies sharing identical or overlapping epitopes. Competitive binding can be evaluated using a cross-blocking assay, such as the assay described in “Antibodies, A Laboratory Manual,” Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Harlow and Lane (1st edition 1988, 2nd edition 2014). In some embodiments, competitive binding is identified when a test antibody or binding protein reduces binding of a reference antibody or binding protein to a target antigen such as farletuzumab or 345A12 (e.g., a binding protein comprising CDRs and/or variable domains selected from those identified in Tables 1-3 and Tables 6-8), by at least about 50% in the cross-blocking assay (e.g., 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, 99.5%, or more, or any percentage in between), and/or vice versa. In some embodiments, competitive binding can be due to shared or similar (e.g., partially overlapping) epitopes, or due to steric hindrance where antibodies or binding proteins bind at nearby epitopes (see, e.g., Tzartos, Methods in Molecular Biology (Morris, ed. (1998) vol.66, pp.55-66)). In some embodiments, competitive binding can be used to sort groups of binding proteins that share similar epitopes. For example, binding proteins that compete for binding can be “binned” as a group of binding
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 proteins that have overlapping or nearby epitopes, while those that do not compete are placed in a separate group of binding proteins that do not have overlapping or nearby epitopes. [00105] The term "kon" or "ka" refers to the on-rate constant for association of an antibody to the antigen to form the antibody/antigen complex. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay. [00106] The term "koff" or "kd" refers to the off-rate constant for dissociation of an antibody from the antibody/antigen complex. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay. [00107] The term "KD" refers to the equilibrium dissociation constant of a particular antibody-antigen interaction. KD is calculated by ka/kd. The rate can be determined using standard assays, such as a surface plasmon resonance, biolayer inferometry, or ELISA assay. [00108] The term “p” or “drug loading” or “drug:antibody ratio” or “drug-to-antibody ratio” or “DAR” refers to the number of drug moieties per antibody moiety, i.e., drug loading, or the number of -L-D moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment (Ab) in ADCs of Formula (I). In ADCs comprising an eribulin drug moiety, “p” refers to the number of eribulin moieties linked to the antibody moiety. For example, if two eribulin moieties are linked to an antibody moiety, p = 2. In compositions comprising multiple copies of ADCs of Formula (I), “average p” refers to the average number of -L-D moieties per antibody or antigen-binding fragment in a population of ADCs, also referred to as “average drug loading.” [00109] A “linker” or “linker moiety” is used herein to refer to any chemical moiety that is capable of covalently joining a compound, usually a drug moiety such as eribulin, to another moiety such as an antibody moiety. Linkers can be susceptible to or substantially resistant to acid-induced cleavage, peptidase-induced cleavage, light-based cleavage, esterase-induced cleavage, and/or disulfide bond cleavage, at conditions under which the compound or the antibody remains active. [00110] The term “payload” is used herein to refer to a chemical compound or a biological macromolecule that is capable of being conjugated to an antibody. A payload may be capable of modulating a biological process and/or have biological activity. The terms “agent,” “therapeutic agent,” “drug,” or “drug moiety” are interchangeable with “payload” herein. In some embodiments, the payload is eribulin.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [00111] The term “linker-payload” is used herein to refer to a conjugate comprising a linker (e.g., VCP) and a payload (e.g., eribulin). Unless otherwise indicated, reference to a “linker-payload” as used herein refers to a linker-payload metabolite that is not conjugated to an antibody or ADC. In some embodiments, an antibody disclosed herein is capable of binding to an epitope present in a linker-payload. [00112] The term “eribulin” or “eribulin monomer,” as used herein, refers to a synthetic analog of halichondrin B, a macrocyclic compound that was originally isolated from the marine sponge Halichondria okadais. Eribulin is a microtubule dynamics inhibitor, which is thought to bind tubulin and induce cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase by inhibiting mitotic spindle assembly. The term “eribulin mesylate” refers to the mesylate salt of eribulin, which is marketed under the trade name Halaven™. Exemplary eribulin analogs include those shown and described in U.S. Patent No.6,214,865 and U.S. Patent No.6,653,341, which are incorporated herein by reference for the disclosed eribulin structures and methods of synthesizing those structures. The structure of eribulin is shown below. [00113] The term “homolog” refers to a molecule which exhibits homology to another molecule, by for example, having sequences of chemical residues that are the same or similar at corresponding positions. [00114] The term “inhibit” or “inhibition of,” as used herein, means to reduce by a measurable amount, and can include but does not require complete prevention or inhibition. [00115] The term “cancer” refers to the physiological condition in mammals in which a population of cells is characterized by unregulated cell growth. Examples of cancers include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia. More particular examples of such cancers include squamous cell cancer, small cell lung cancer, nonsmall cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma of the lung, squamous carcinoma of the lung, cancer of the peritoneum, hepatocellular cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, hepatoma, breast cancer (e.g., triple negative breast cancer), osteosarcoma, melanoma, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial (e.g., serous) or uterine cancer, salivary gland carcinoma, kidney cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, vulval cancer, thyroid cancer, hepatic carcinoma, and various types of head and neck cancers. Triple negative breast cancer refers to breast cancer that is negative for expression of the genes for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), or Her2/neu.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [00116] The terms “tumor” and “neoplasm” refer to any mass of tissue that results from excessive cell growth or proliferation, either benign or malignant, including precancerous lesions. [00117] The term “tumor cell” refers to individual cells or the total population of cells derived from a tumor, including both non-tumorigenic cells and cancer stem cells. As used herein, the term “tumor cell” will be modified by the term “non-tumorigenic” when referring solely to those tumor cells lacking the capacity to renew and differentiate to distinguish those tumor cells from cancer stem cells. [00118] The terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein to refer to any animal, such as any mammal, including but not limited to, humans, non-human primates, rodents, and the like. In some embodiments, the mammal is a mouse. In some embodiments, the mammal is a human. [00119] As used herein, “to treat” or “therapeutic” and grammatically related terms refer to any improvement of any consequence of disease, such as prolonged survival, less morbidity, and/or a lessening of side effects which are the byproducts of an alternative therapeutic modality. As is readily appreciated in the art, full eradication of disease is encompassed but not required for a treatment act. “Treatment” or “treat,” as used herein, refers to the administration of a described antibody, antigen-binding fragment, and/or ADC to a subject, e.g., a patient. The treatment can be to cure, heal, alleviate, relieve, alter, remedy, ameliorate, palliate, improve or affect the disorder, the symptoms of the disorder or the predisposition toward the disorder, e.g., a cancer. In some embodiments, in addition to treating a subject with a condition, a composition disclosed herein can also be provided prophylactically to prevent or reduce the likelihood of developing that condition. [00120] In some embodiments, a labeled antibody, antigen-binding fragment, and/or ADC is used. A label is any moiety attached to an antibody that facilitates its detection in an assay in which the antibody is used. In some embodiments, the label is a detectable label. Suitable “labels” or “detectable labels” include fluorescent tags, radionuclides, enzymes, substrates, cofactors, inhibitors, fluorescent moieties, luminescent moieties, chemiluminescent moieties, electrochemiluminescent moieties, biotin, beads, magnetic particles, and the like. The terms “conjugated to a biotin” and “biotinylated” are used interchangeably herein. [00121] For amino acid sequences, sequence identity and/or similarity may be determined using standard techniques known in the art, including, but not limited to, the local sequence
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 identity algorithm of Smith and Waterman (1981) Adv. Appl. Math.2:482, the sequence identity alignment algorithm of Needleman and Wunsch (1970) J. Mol. Biol.48:443, the search for similarity method of Pearson and Lipman (1988) Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444, computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Drive, Madison, Wis.), the Best Fit sequence program described by Devereux et al. (1984) Nucl. Acid Res.12:387-95, e.g., using the default settings, or by inspection. In some embodiments, percent identity is calculated by FastDB based upon the following parameters: mismatch penalty of 1; gap penalty of 1; gap size penalty of 0.33; and joining penalty of 30 (“Current Methods in Sequence Comparison and Analysis,” Macromolecule Sequencing and Synthesis, Selected Methods and Applications, pp.127-149 (1988), Alan R. Liss, Inc). [00122] Generally, the amino acid homology, similarity, or identity between proteins disclosed herein and variants thereof, including variants of target antigens (such as farletuzumab or 345A12), variants of tubulin sequences, and variants of antibody variable domains (including individual variant CDRs), are at least 80% to the sequences depicted herein, e.g., homologies or identities of at least 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, almost 100%, or 100%. [00123] In a similar manner, “percent (%) nucleic acid sequence identity” with respect to the nucleic acid sequence of the antibodies and other proteins identified herein is defined as the percentage of nucleotide residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the nucleotide residues in the coding sequence of the antigen-binding protein. A specific method utilizes the BLASTN module of WU-BLAST-2 set to the default parameters, with overlap span and overlap fraction set to 1 and 0.125, respectively. [00124] While the site or region for introducing an amino acid sequence variation is predetermined, the mutation per se need not be predetermined. For example, in order to optimize the performance of a mutation at a given site, random mutagenesis may be conducted at the target codon or region and the expressed antigen-binding protein CDR variants screened for the optimal combination of desired activity. Techniques for making substitution mutations at predetermined sites in DNA having a known sequence are well known, for example, MI3 primer mutagenesis and PCR mutagenesis. [00125] The term “immunodepletion” or “antibody depletion” refers to an assay whereby a target antigen, e.g., an ADC, antibody, antigen-binding fragment, or linker-payload
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 conjugate, is depleted or removed from a solution using an antibody that specifically binds to said antigen. [00126] The terms “metabolite” and “ADC metabolite” refer to components of an ADC that, through chemical, biochemical, or enzymatic processes are released from the ADC. ADC metabolites may include ADCs with DAR lower than starting DAR, antibodies, antigen-binding fragments, linker-payload conjugates, free payload moieties, free linker conjugates (i.e., without a payload attached), or any combination thereof. Antibodies and Antigen-Binding Fragments [00127] The present disclosure provides antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof for use in methods of detecting and quantifying intact antibody-drug conjugates or constituent antibody-drug conjugate parts such as a linker-payload, e.g., Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin or albumin-Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin, in a biological sample. [00128] In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragments may bind to a target antigen with a dissociation constant (KD) of ≤1 mM, ≤100 nM or ≤10 nM, or any amount in between, as measured by, e.g., BIAcore® analysis. In certain embodiments, the KD is 1 pM to 500 pM. In some embodiments, the KD is between 500 pM to 1 µM, 1 µM to 100 nM, or 100 mM to 10 nM. [00129] In some embodiments, the antibody moiety is a four-chain antibody (also referred to as an immunoglobulin), comprising two heavy chains and two light chains. In some embodiments, the antibody moiety is a two-chain half body (one light chain and one heavy chain), or an antigen-binding fragment of an immunoglobulin. [00130] In some embodiments, the antibody moiety is an antigen-binding fragment thereof. Anti-Farletuzumab Antibodies and Antigen-Binding Fragments [00131] The present disclosure provides antibody and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to an antibody-drug conjugate comprising farletuzumab and/or to farletuzumab or an antigen-binding fragment thereof. All references herein to “anti- farletuzumab” antibodies encompass antibodies that bind to farletuzumab, to an antibody- drug conjugate comprising farletuzumab, or to an antigen-binding fragment thereof. [00132] In some embodiments, an anti-farletuzumab antibody or antigen-binding fragment, e.g., one used in any of the assays disclosed herein, may comprise a paired set of heavy and
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 light chain variable domains taken from those listed in Table 3, or the set of six CDR sequences from the paired heavy and light chain set, e.g., a set of CDRs listed in Tables 1-2. In some embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment further comprises human heavy and light chain frameworks (optionally with one or more backmutations to improve binding affinity) and/or human heavy and light chain constant domains or fragments thereof. For instance, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment may comprise a human IgG heavy chain constant domain (such as an IgG1) and a human kappa or lambda light chain constant domain. In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment comprises a human immunoglobulin G subtype 1 (IgG1) heavy chain constant domain (SEQ ID NO: 81) with a human Ig kappa light chain constant domain (SEQ ID NO: 82).

Drug Moieties [00174] The drug moiety (D) of the ADCs and linker-payload conjugates described herein can be any chemotherapeutic agent. Useful classes of chemotherapeutic agents include, for example, anti-tubulin agents. In certain embodiments, the drug moiety is an anti-tubulin agent. One exemplary drug moiety for use in the described ADCs and linker-payload conjugates is eribulin. [00175] Eribulin is a synthetic analog of the macrocyclic compound halichondrin B, which has been previously shown to be a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization, microtubule assembly, and tubulin-dependent GTP hydrolysis. Tubulin makes up dynamic filamentous cytoskeletal proteins called microtubules that are involved in a variety of vital cellular functions, including intracellular migration and transport, cell signaling, the maintenance of cell shape, and cell division. The rapid dividing rate of cancer cells makes them particularly sensitive to the obstruction of tubulin function. As such, halichondrin B and eribulin have

Linkers and Linker-Payload Conjugates [00223] In various embodiments, an antibody or antigen-binding fragment disclosed herein specifically binds to a linker or linker-payload conjugate. An exemplary linker or linker- payload conjugate comprises VCP. [00224] In some embodiments, the linker in an ADC is stable extracellularly in a sufficient manner to be therapeutically effective. In some embodiments, the linker is stable outside a cell, such that the ADC remains primarily intact when present in extracellular conditions (e.g., prior to transport or delivery into a cell). As used herein, “stable,” in the context of a linker or ADC comprising a linker, means that no more than 20%, no more than about 15%,
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 no more than about 10%, no more than about 5%, no more than about 3%, or no more than about 1% of the linkers (or any percentage in between) in a sample of ADC are cleaved (or in the case of an overall ADC are otherwise not intact) when the ADC is present in extracellular conditions. In some embodiments, the ADC is metabolized in circulation such that a linker- payload is cleaved from the ADC. [00225] Whether a linker is stable extracellularly can be determined, for example, by including an ADC in plasma for a predetermined time period (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, or 24 hours) and then quantifying the amount of free linker-payload and/or free drug moiety present in the plasma. Stability may allow the ADC time to localize to target tumor cells and prevent the premature release of the drug, which could lower the therapeutic index of the ADC by indiscriminately damaging both normal and tumor tissues. In some embodiments, the linker is stable outside of a target cell and releases the drug moiety from the ADC once inside of the cell, such that the drug moiety can bind to its target (e.g., to microtubules). Thus, an effective linker will: (i) maintain the specific binding properties of the antibody moiety; (ii) allow delivery, e.g., intracellular delivery, of the drug moiety via stable attachment to the antibody moiety; (iii) remain stable and intact until the ADC has been transported or delivered to its target site; and (iv) allow for the therapeutic effect, e.g., cytotoxic effect, of the drug moiety after cleavage. In determining the efficacy of a linker, it is beneficial to be able to measure linker or linker-payload metabolites. [00226] A linker may be “cleavable” or “non-cleavable” (Ducry and Stump, Bioconjugate Chem. (2010) 21:5-13). Cleavable linkers are designed to release the drug when subjected to certain environment factors, e.g., when internalized into a target cell, whereas non-cleavable linkers generally rely on the degradation of the antibody moiety itself. [00227] In some embodiments, the linker is a cleavable linker. A cleavable linker refers to any linker that comprises a cleavable moiety. As used herein, the term “cleavable moiety” refers to any chemical bond that can be cleaved. Suitable cleavable chemical bonds are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, acid labile bonds, protease/peptidase labile bonds, photolabile bonds, disulfide bonds, and esterase labile bonds. Linkers comprising a cleavable moiety can allow for the release of the drug moiety from the ADC via cleavage at a particular site in the linker. In various embodiments, cleavage of the antibody from the linked payload activates or increases the activity of the payload. Exemplary
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 cleavable linkers include acid labile linkers, protease/peptidase-sensitive linkers, photolabile linkers, dimethyl-, disulfide-, or sulfonamide-containing linkers. [00228] In some embodiments, the linker is cleavable by a cleaving agent, e.g., an enzyme, that is present in the intracellular environment (e.g., within a lysosome or endosome or caveolea). The linker can be, e.g., a peptide linker that is cleaved by an intracellular peptidase or protease enzyme, including, but not limited to, a lysosomal or endosomal protease. In some embodiments, the linker is a cleavable peptide linker. As used herein, a cleavable peptide linker refers to any linker that comprises a cleavable peptide moiety. The term “cleavable peptide moiety” refers to any chemical bond linking amino acids (natural or synthetic amino acid derivatives) that can be cleaved by an agent that is present in the intracellular environment. For instance, a linker may comprise an alanine-alanine-asparagine (Ala-Ala-Asn) sequence, a valine-alanine (Val-Ala) sequence, or a valine-citrulline (Val-Cit) sequence that is cleavable by a peptidase such as cathepsin, e.g., cathepsin B. [00229] In some embodiments, the linker in any of the ADCs disclosed herein may comprise at least one spacer unit joining the antibody moiety to the drug moiety. In some embodiments, the spacer unit joins a cleavage site (e.g., a cleavable peptide moiety) in the linker to the antibody moiety. In some embodiments, the linker, and/or spacer unit in the linker, is substantially hydrophilic. A hydrophilic linker may be used to reduce the extent to which the drug may be pumped out of resistant cancer cells through multiple drug resistance (MDR) or functionally similar transporters. In some aspects, the linker includes one or more polyethylene glycol (PEG) moieties, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 PEG moieties. [00230] In some embodiments, the spacer unit in the linker comprises one or more PEG moieties. In some embodiments, the spacer unit comprises -(PEG)m-, and m is an integer from 1 to 10. In some embodiments, m ranges from 1 to 10; from 2 to 8; from 2 to 6; from 2 to 5; from 2 to 4; or from 2 to 3. In some embodiments, m is 8. In some embodiments, m is 4. In some embodiments, m is 3. In some embodiments, m is 2. In some embodiments, the spacer unit comprises (PEG)2, (PEG)4, (PEG)8, (PEG)9, (PEG)3-triazole-(PEG)3, (PEG)4-triazole- (PEG)3, or dibenzylcyclooctene-triazole-(PEG)3. In some preferred embodiments, the spacer unit comprises (PEG)2. [00231] In some embodiments, the spacer unit in the linker comprises an alkyl moiety. In some embodiments, the spacer unit comprises -(CH2)n-, and n is an integer from 1 to 10 (i.e., n may be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10). In some embodiments, n is 5.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [00232] A spacer unit may be used, for example, to link the antibody moiety to the drug moiety, either directly or indirectly. In some embodiments, the spacer unit links the antibody moiety to the drug moiety directly. In some embodiments, the antibody moiety and the drug moiety are attached via a spacer unit comprising one or more PEG moieties (e.g., (PEG)2 or (PEG)4). In some embodiments, the spacer unit links the antibody moiety to the drug moiety indirectly. In some embodiments, the spacer unit links the antibody moiety to the drug moiety indirectly through a cleavable moiety (e.g., a cleavable peptide, a cleavable disulfide, or a cleavable sulfonamide) and/or an attachment moiety to join the spacer unit to the antibody moiety, e.g., a maleimide moiety. [00233] The spacer unit, in various embodiments, attaches to the antibody moiety (i.e., the antibody or antigen-binding fragment) via a maleimide moiety (Mal). The term “maleimide moiety,” as used herein, means a compound that contains a maleimide group and that is reactive with a sulfhydryl group, e.g., a sulfhydryl group of a cysteine residue on the antibody moiety. Other functional groups that are reactive with sulfhydryl groups (thiols) include, but are not limited to, iodoacetamide, bromoacetamide, vinyl pyridine, disulfide, pyridyl disulfide, isocyanate, and isothiocyanate. In some embodiments, the Mal is reactive with a cysteine residue on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the Mal is joined to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment via the cysteine residue. [00234] In certain embodiments, the linker comprises a Mal moiety, a spacer unit, and a cleavable peptide moiety. In some embodiments, the cleavable peptide moiety comprises an amino acid unit. In some embodiments, the amino acid unit comprises Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises the Mal, a spacer unit, and Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)m-Val-Cit, where m is 2 to 8 or 2 to 5, or 2, 3, 4, or 5. In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)8-Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the Mal- spacer unit comprises a maleimidocaproyl (MC). In some embodiments, the linker comprises MC-Val-Cit. [00235] In some embodiments, the linker comprises the Mal, a spacer unit, and Val-Ala. In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Ala. In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)m-Val-Ala, where m is 2 to 8 or 2 to 5, or 2, 3, 4, or 5. In some embodiments, the linker comprises Mal-(PEG)8-Val-Ala. In some embodiments, the Mal-
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 spacer unit comprises a maleimidocaproyl (MC). In some embodiments, the linker comprises MC-Val-Ala. [00236] In various embodiments, the spacer unit attaches to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment via a succinimide moiety (OSu). The term “succinimide moiety,” as used herein, means a compound that contains a succinimide compound that is reactive with an amine group, e.g., an amine group of a lysine residue on the antibody moiety. An exemplary succinimide moiety is N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). In some embodiments, the OSu-spacer unit is reactive with a lysine residue on the antibody or antigen-binding fragment. In some embodiments, the OSu-spacer unit is joined to the antibody or antigen-binding fragment via the lysine residue. [00237] In certain embodiments, the linker comprises an OSu, a spacer unit, and a cleavable peptide moiety. In some embodiments, the cleavable peptide moiety comprises an amino acid unit. In some embodiments, the amino acid unit comprises Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises an OSu, a spacer unit, and Val-Cit. In some embodiments, the linker comprises OSu-(PEG)2-Val-Cit. In other embodiments, the linker comprises OSu- (PEG)9-Val-Cit. In other embodiments, the linker comprises OSu-(CH2)5-Val-Cit. In certain embodiments, the linker comprises OSu-(PEG)3-triazole-(PEG)3-Val-Cit. [00238] In various embodiments, the cleavable moiety in the linker is joined directly to the payload moiety. In other embodiments, another spacer unit is used to attach the cleavable moiety in the linker to the payload moiety. In various embodiments, the payload moiety is eribulin. In various embodiments, the eribulin is attached to the cleavable moiety in the linker by a spacer unit. In some embodiments, the eribulin is attached to the cleavable moiety in the linker by a self-immolative spacer unit. In certain embodiments, the eribulin is attached to the cleavable moiety in the linker by a self-immolative spacer unit, the cleavable moiety comprises Val-Cit, and a further spacer unit comprising PEG joins the cleavable moiety to the antibody moiety. In certain embodiments, the eribulin is joined to an anti-FRA antibody via a Mal-spacer unit in the linker joined to a Val-Cit cleavable moiety and a pAB self- immolative spacer unit. In certain other embodiments, the eribulin is joined to an anti-MSLN antibody via a Mal-spacer unit in the linker joined to a Val-Cit cleavable moiety and a pAB self-immolative spacer unit. [00239] A spacer unit may be “self-immolative” or “non-self-immolative.” A “non-self- immolative” spacer unit is one in which part or all of the spacer unit remains bound to the
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 drug moiety upon cleavage of the linker. Examples of non-self-immolative spacer units include, but are not limited to, a glycine spacer unit and a glycine-glycine spacer unit. Non- self-immolative spacer units may eventually degrade over time but do not readily release a linked native drug entirely under cellular conditions. A “self-immolative” spacer unit allows for release of the native drug moiety under intracellular conditions. A “native drug” is one where no part of the spacer unit or other chemical modification remains after cleavage/degradation of the spacer unit. [00240] Self-immolation chemistry is known in the art and could be readily selected for the disclosed linkers and/or ADCs. In various embodiments, the spacer unit attaching the cleavable moiety in the linker to the drug moiety (e.g., eribulin) is self-immolative, and undergoes self-immolation concurrently with or shortly before/after cleavage of the cleavable moiety under intracellular conditions. [00241] In certain embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit in the linker comprises a p-aminobenzyl unit. In some embodiments, a p-aminobenzyl alcohol (pABOH) is attached to an amino acid unit or other cleavable moiety in the linker via an amide bond, and a carbamate, methylcarbamate, or carbonate is made between the pABOH and the drug moiety (Hamann et al. (2005) Expert Opin. Ther. Patents 15:1087-103). In some embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit is or comprises p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (pAB). Without being bound by theory, it is thought that the self-immolation of pAB involves a spontaneous 1,6- elimination reaction (Jain et al. (2015) Pharm Res 32:3526-40). [00242] In various embodiments, the structure of the p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl (pAB) used in the disclosed ADCs is shown below:
[00243] In various embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit attaches the cleavable moiety in the linker to the C-35 amine on eribulin. In some embodiments, the self-immolative spacer unit is pAB. In some embodiments, the pAB attaches the cleavable moiety in the linker to the C-35 amine on eribulin. In some embodiments, the pAB undergoes self- immolation upon cleavage of the cleavable moiety, and eribulin is released from the ADC in
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 its native, active form. In some embodiments, an anti-FRA antibody (e.g., MORAb-003) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit-pAB. In other embodiments, an anti-MSLN antibody (e.g., 345A12) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit-pAB. In some embodiments, an anti- FRA antibody (e.g., MORAb-003) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising MC-Val-Cit-pAB. In other embodiments, an anti-MSLN antibody (e.g., 345A12) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising MC-Val-Cit-pAB. In other embodiments, an anti-HER2 antibody (e.g., trastuzumab) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising MC-Val-Cit-pAB. [00244] In some embodiments, an anti-FRA antibody (e.g., MORAb-003) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Ala-pAB. In other embodiments, an anti-MSLN antibody (e.g., 345A12) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Ala-pAB. In other embodiments, an anti-HER2 antibody (e.g., trastuzumab) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Ala-pAB. In some embodiments, an anti-FRA antibody (e.g., MORAb-003) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising MC-Val-Ala-pAB. In other embodiments, an anti-MSLN antibody (e.g., 345A12) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising MC-Val-Ala-pAB. In other embodiments, an anti-HER2 antibody (e.g., trastuzumab) is joined to the C-35 amine of eribulin by a linker comprising MC-Val- Ala-pAB.

EXAMPLES Example 1: Generation and screening of recombinant anti-Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin antibodies [00347] To generate antibodies specifically to Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin, an approach was taken to conjugate Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin to two different proteins, one for immunization in rabbits and one for initial screening. Immunizing and screening reagents are shown in FIG. 2. Keyhole-lymphocyte hemocyanin was used as the immunizing conjugated protein, in order
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 to elicit the greatest immunogenicity. Screening of hits was done using a bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugate. Titer of final bleed was ~ 75,000 (FIG.3). [00348] Spleen cells from immunized rabbits were plated at limiting dilution and culture supernatants screened by ELISA against BSA-(Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin). Sixty-eight BSA- (Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin)-reactive wells were used for gene-rescue of variable domains by PCR and 50 clones were able to be rescued with complete VH/VL sequences. These were cloned by In-Fusion cloning into mammalian expression vectors and expressed transiently in HEK-293 cells. [00349] Twelve clones were selected for further screening using biolayer inferometry (BLI) (FIG.4A). These clones were screened for binding to BSA-(Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin) and human serum albumin (HSA)-PEG4-DBCO-N3-PEG4-eribulin in order to discriminate hits that had specificity to eribulin alone or mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin (Table 28). Table 28 – BLI screening of initial 12 gene-rescued hits binding to Mal-(PEG)2- clone binding to eribulin VCP-eribulin indicates Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin –
non- [00350] Results from screening identified nine clones that were specific to eribulin, while two clones (6O11 and 11G6) bound only to VCP-eribulin.12L15 demonstrated weak binding
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 only to eribulin and none to VCP-eribulin. BLI binding data is shown in FIG.4B. Protein sequences for these 12 clones are listed in FIG.4C. Six clones were selected for further specificity characterization by BLI. Binding was measured to humanized anti-human folate receptor alpha MORAb-003 (reference), MORAb-003 conjugated with maleimido-PEG2-Val- Cit-pAB-cryptophycin (DAR4), and MORAb-003 conjugated with mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin (DAR4), also referred to as MORAb-202 (FIG.4D). The results of this screening are shown in Table 29. Table 29 - Characterization of binding of six selected leads to MORAb-003-based ADCs MORAb-003 - mal- MORAb-003 - Mal- MORAb-003 PEG2-VCP- n [0

Both 6O11 and 11G6 bound to both eribulin- and cryptophycin – conjugated MORAb-003, indicating specificity to the linker portion (Mal-(PEG)2-VCP), however, 6O11 did demonstrate some background binding to reference tips, and because 11G6 binding was stronger to the VCP-cryptophycin ADC, indicating better linker specificity, it was selected as the linker-specific clone moving forward.8E8 demonstrated background binding to MORAb-003 and was not examined further. Binding trace data is included in FIG.4E. Linker specificity of 11G6 [00352] The specificity of anti-linker antibody 11G6 was further assessed by BLI. Binding of 11G6 to a number of ADCs prepared with various linker-payload structures was performed
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 with a reference antibody. The results of this study are shown in Table 30. BLI binding curve data is listed in FIG.4F. Table 30 - Binding specificity of 11G6 Linker Binding of 11G6 Spacer Cleavage site Payload p
[00353] The results demonstrate that 11G6 has specificity for the VCP structure, as it bound no other cleavage site structure, including VAP. All PEG spacer lengths were bound by 11G6, indicating flexibility of the spacer group structure in binding. These results, when compared with the binding of 5E4 to Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit-pAB-cryptophycin ADC, indicate that 11G6 binds specifically to the VCP epitope.5E4 was also shown to bind to ADCs occupied with 11G6 in the BLI experiment, identifying 11G6/5E4 as a possible antibody pair for immunoassays quantitating VCP-eribulin structures.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 Binding affinity and DAR sensitivity of 5E4 [00354] Anti-eribulin antibody 5E4 was selected for further analysis and assay formatting studies. To begin evaluation of 5E4 as a capture reagent for intact ADC and to assess binding affinity for eribulin-conjugated ADC, evaluation by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was performed using a BIAcore T-100 system. In this format, biotinylated 5E4 is captured on a streptavidin-coated biosensor surface. Antibodies and ADCs evaluated were MORAb-202 (MORAb-003 conjugated to an average DAR 4.0 of Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin), DAR0, DAR2, and DAR4 forms of MORAb-202 purified by preparative-scale hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC), and MORAb-202 drug substance (MORAb-003 conjugated to an average DAR 4.0 of Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin, prepared under GMP conditions). The isolated DAR forms allow for the assessment of DAR sensitivity of anti- eribulin antibodies as capture agents. The results of this study are shown in Table 31. Sensogram traces with fitting data are shown in FIG.5. Two anti-eribulin Fab2 reagents, AbD26796 and AbD26798, were included as comparators for 5E4 Fab. These reagents were previously generated in a phage display screen (BioRad); AbD26796 is eribulin-specific, while AbD26798 recognizes VCP-eribulin but not eribulin alone. Table 31 - Binding assessment of 5E4 by BIAcore to various DAR species of MORAb-202 MORAb -003 MORAb- -202 MORAb-202 MORAb-202 MORAb 202 purified purified drug
[00355] 5E4 showed nanomolar binding affinity to all conjugated MORAb-003 species. Some residual binding was also seen for the purified DAR0 species, but this is likely due to contaminating DAR1 ADC in the preparation, as 5E4 did not bind to MORAb-003 alone. This affinity (0.9-1.2 nM) was much higher than the other two anti-eribulin reagents evaluated (8.7-40 nM and 16-130 nM). Furthermore, 5E4 Fab demonstrated much less difference between DAR2 and DAR4 species (1.6-fold) than AbD26796 (4.6-fold) and AbD26798 (8.1-fold), indicating ideal properties for use in intact ADC assays.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 Example 2: Development and evaluation of anti-eribulin 5E4 in intact ADC assays [00356] Anti-eribulin 5E4 was evaluated in intact ADC assays for eribulin-conjugated anti- human folate receptor alpha ADC MORAb-202, and for eribulin-conjugated anti-human mesothelin ADC MORAb-202. MORAb-202 intact ADC assay [00357] A MORAb-202 intact ADC assay was developed using biotinylated 5E4 monovalent Fab fragment as a capture reagent and an anti-farletuzumab antibody 2G9 as detector on the Gyros XPand platform. Monovalent Fab was used to reduce DAR sensitivity in the assay. A generic format of the assay and binding curve is shown in FIGS.6A-B. [00358] The limit of detection in the assay (LOD) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 27.4 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 27.4 ng/mL. The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 20 µg/mL. The minimum required dilution (MRD) of plasma sample is 1:10. MORAb-109 intact ADC assay [00359] A MORAb-109 intact ADC was developed using biotinylated 5E4 monovalent Fab fragment as a capture reagent and an anti-human Fc (CH2-specific) antibody as detector on the Gyros XPand platform. MORAb-109 is an eribulin- conjugated ADC targeting human mesothelin, conjugated with Mal-(PEG)2-Val-Cit- pAB-eribulin. MORAb-109 DAR2 form is conjugated at position 80 (cysteine) on the light chain. MORAb-109 DAR4 form is conjugated at position 80 on the light chain and position 118 on the heavy chain (alanine mutated to cysteine, A118C). A generic format of the assay and binding curve is shown in FIGS.7A-B. [00360] The limit of detection in the assay (LOD) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 141.2 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 141.2 ng/mL. The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 16 µg/mL. The minimum required dilution (MRD) of plasma sample is 1:20.
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 MORAb-109 pharmacokinetics (PK) in normal mice [00361] This assay was used to measure the PK of MORAb-109 in normal mice. MORAb-109 DAR2 was administered as an IV bolus dose. These results are shown in FIG.8A. FIG.8B shows PK data for administration of 25 mg/kg of MORAb-109 and 10 mg/kg MORAb-109 in normal mice. The percent hydrolyzed maleimide and average DAR of MORAb-109 in normal mice is shown in FIG.8C. MORAb-109 PK in NCI-H2110 tumor-bearing mice [00362] The PK of MORAb-109 (DAR2) in NCI-H2110 tumor-bearing mice was measured. Intact ADC and total Ab were measured in both plasma (FIG.9A) and in tumor lysates (to examine uptake and stability of ADC at the tumor site, compared with plasma) (FIG.9B) from the mice after treatment with 25 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg MORAb-109. A randomly conjugated form of the ADC (random conjugated at partially-reduced interchain disulfides, followed by isolation of the DAR2 form) was also included, to compare site- specific conjugation with random conjugation. PK parameters in both the plasma and tumor were assessed (FIG.9C). MORAb-109 PK in cynomolgus monkeys [00363] To measure the PK of MORAb-109, mice received an IV bolus administration of 15 mg/kg. Total antibody and intact ADC PK values had similar rates of decline in the concentration of MORAb-109 (FIG.10A). [00364] The results of DAR and percent maleimide hydrolysis of MORAb-109 in cynomolgus monkeys exhibited hydrolysis of conjugated maleimide in MORAb-109 stabilizes DAR loss in circulation in monkeys (FIG.10B). MORAb-109 PK in normal rats [00365] The MORAb-109 intact ADC assay was also used to determine PK of DAR2 and DAR4 forms of MORAb-109 in normal rats (FIG.11A). Further PK results are shown (FIG. 11B).
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 Trastuzumab ADC: Intact ADC Assay [00366] A trastuzumab-eribulin intact ADC assay was developed using biotinylated 5E4 monovalent Fab fragment as a capture reagent and an anti-trastuzumab antibody (R&D Systems) as detector on the Gyros XPand platform. This assay was run on trastuzumab conjugated with different eribulin-based linker-payloads. A generic format of the assay and binding curves are shown in FIGS.12A-B. Because anti-trastuzumab anti-idiotype antibody was used as a detection antibody, this assay was used not only for wild-type human Fc, but also mutated Fc (1-4-AAS mutant). [00367] The limit of detection in the assay (LOD) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, and mouse plasma is 4010 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, and mouse plasma is 4010 ng/mL. The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, and mouse plasma is 1 mg/mL. The minimum required dilution (MRD) of plasma sample is 1:100. [00368] This assay was first applied to measure stability of various trastuzumab-eribulin ADCs in both mouse and human plasma. The ADCs varied in their linker-payload structure. The results are shown in FIG.13A, including detail of linker-payload structures. Linker- payloads were attached to antibodies via transglutaminase transamidation onto the amide nitrogen of the Gln residue in each linker (indicated in red) (FIG.13B). [00369] The assay was next used to measure the levels of a subset of these ADCs described above in mice injected with an IV bolus of the indicated ADC. These results are shown in FIG.13C. The PK data in mice dosed at either 5 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg is shown in FIG.13D. Example 3: Development and use of VCP-eribulin (total unconjugated linker-payload) assay Linker-payload assay format and dynamic range [00370] An assay was developed to measure released linker-payload (VCP-eribulin) from ADCs conjugated with VCP-eribulin-containing linker-payloads. A feature of this assay is efficient immunodepletion of conjugated linker-payload, i.e., intact ADC, from plasma samples. This is done in an antibody-specific manner using either antigen-conjugated magnetic beads (MORAb-109) or anti-idiotype antibody-conjugated beads (for MORAb- 202).
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [00371] Free linker-payload is then captured using anti-eribulin 5E4 and detected using the VCP-specific reagent 11G6. The schematic of immunodepletion and detection is shown in FIGS.14A-B. The limit of detection in the assay (LOD) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 5 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 5 ng/mL. The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 10 µg/mL. The minimum required dilution (MRD) of plasma sample is 1:5000. Free linker-payload from MORAb-109 DAR2 in mouse plasma [00372] The linker-payload levels in mouse matrix for MORAb-109 DAR2 were assessed to compare the same antibody conjugated in a random manner with site-specific conjugated DAR2. The linker-payload, and not free payload, was identified as the main metabolite of the ADC (FIG.15A). [00373] The DAR shift and percent maleimide hydrolysis of MORAb-109 in mouse plasma was observed over 200 hours (FIG.15B). Free eribulin and Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin from MORAb-109 in mouse plasma was also assessed (FIG.15C). Linker-payload from MORAb-109 following maleimide ring opening [00374] Free linker-payload from MORAb-109 DAR2 was measured following mild-base ring opening of the conjugated maleimide and compared with unmodified MORAb-109 in mouse and human plasma (FIG.16). The improvement of linker-payload stability following maleimide ring opening and inhibition of retro-Michael release of the linker-payload was demonstrated. Example 5: Development and use of eribulin-conjugated albumin assays [00375] Albumin may represent a major form of released linker-payload following retro- Michael release, due to its high concentration in circulation and the presence of an unpaired cysteine that is conserved in evolution. This molecule may represent an active ADC metabolite with a long circulating half-life, and thus may be relevant to quantitate. Using species-specific anti-albumin reagents and the anti-eribulin antibody 5E4, assays were developed to measure eribulin-conjugated albumin in mouse, rat, monkey, and human matrix (FIG.17).
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 [00376] Typically, immunodepletion is used to remove the ADC from the sample. While this may not be necessary, without being bound by theory, excess ADC may compete with eribulin-albumin for capture by 5E4 and affect overall assay sensitivity. The limit of detection in the assay (LOD) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 5 ng/mL. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 5 ng/mL. The upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ) in neat human, cynomolgus monkey, rat, and mouse plasma is 10 µg/mL. The minimum required dilution (MRD) of plasma sample is 1:5000. MORAb-202 stability in vitro in plasma [00377] This assay was combined with the total unconjugated linker-payload assay to measure the stability of MORAb-202 in various matrices (FIG.18A). DAR loss and maleimide hydrolysis were also assessed (FIG.18B and FIG.18C). [00378] When normalized for molarity, these results indicate that albumin conjugate was the main form of eribulin-linker following retro-Michael release of linker-payload, and much more abundant than free payload alone. Levels of linker-payload and eribulin-albumin stabilized after 24 hr in MORAb-202-dosed monkey plasma, presumably due to hydrolysis of the conjugated maleimide ring (FIG.18D). Metabolism in MORAb-202-dosed non-Human Primates (NHP) [00379] Leveraging the anti-eribulin antibody 5E4 and the anti-VCP antibody 11G6 provided a clear picture of the metabolism and fate of MORAb-202 dosed in NHP. Linker- payload and conjugated albumin were measured in plasma samples from cynomolgus monkeys dosed with MORAb-202 at 6 mg/kg or 2 mg/kg (FIG.19A). PK parameters were also assessed (FIG.19B). PK in MORAb-109 doses in normal rats [00380] Similar to MORAb-202 administered in NHP, MORAb-109 administration in normal rats demonstrated levels of circulating albumin-eribulin conjugate 2-orders of magnitude higher than free eribulin, but much lower than circulating ADC (FIGS.20A-B). DAR loss due to retro-Michael release was inversely correlated with maleimide hydrolysis (FIG.20C).
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 Example 6: Immunohistochemistry using anti-eribulin 5E4 [00381] In addition to its use as a reagent for capturing and quantitating eribulin conjugated species in matrices, 5E4 was also used for immunohistochemical analyses of eribulin- conjugated species in tissues from animals dosed with eribulin-conjugated ADCs.5E4 antibody was biotinylated prior to staining to allow for detection. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of human ovarian cancer xenograft OVCAR-3 tumors from MORAb-202 – treated mice [00382] Tumors from OVCAR-3 tumor bearing mice treated with either PBS, eribulin, or MORAb-202 were isolated, fixed and stained with 5E4. [00383] The results using 5E4 as staining agent show MORAb-202 uptake and retention at the tumor site, while no staining is observed with tumors from PBS- or eribulin-treated mice (FIG.21). The lack of staining for eribulin in the eribulin-treated mice may be due to eribulin loss during the fixing and washing steps of IHC staining. IHC staining of human lung cancer xenograft NCI-H2110 tumors from MORAb-109- treated mice (day 3 post-treatment) [00384] NCI-H2110 human lung cancer xenograft tumors from MORAb-109-treated mice were stained with biotinylated 5E4, along with an anti-human Fc antibody, which will localize human IgG. Serial sections were stained. [00385] These results, similar to the MORAb-202 study with OVCAR3 tumors, demonstrated uptake of eribulin-conjugated MORAb-109 at the tumor site (FIG.22). Furthermore, the staining with anti-human Fc on serial section also demonstrates that anti- human IgG colocalizes with anti-eribulin staining, indicating ADC retention. Example 7: Methods [00386] The prior examples employed methods that are detailed below. Methods for isolation of and production of antibodies to Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin [00387] To generate antigen for immunization, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and keyhole- lymphocyte hemocyanin (KLH) were buffer-exchanged into 20 mM sodium phosphate, 150
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, pH 7.5 at final concentrations of 10 mg/mL. Traut’s reagent was dissolved in water and added to each at 40x molar excess of Traut’s reagent:protein. Reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 1 hr. Unreacted Traut’s reagent was removed by centrifugal desalting using Zeba spin desalting columns into the same buffer. Maleimido- PEG2-valine-citrulline-para-aminobenzyl-eribulin (Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin) (FIG.2) was added to each thiolated protein at a molar excess of 6:1 Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin:protein for 4 hr at room temperature. Unreacted Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin was removed by spin desalting as above. Final conjugation ratio of 2.7:1 and 2.9:1 Mal-(PEG)2-VCP- eribulin:protein was determined for BSA-(Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin) and KLH-(Mal- (PEG)2-VCP-eribulin), respectively using Elman assay for free thiol content. Immunization of rabbits and isolation of antigen-positive B-cells [00388] New Zealand White rabbits (2) were immunized on day 1 with 0.5 mg KLH-(Mal- (PEG)2-VCP-eribulin) in complete Freund’s adjuvant, then again on day 21 and 42 with 0.5 mg KLH-(Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin) in Freund’s incomplete adjuvant. Evaluation by ELISA on MORAb-202 or BSA-(Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin) indicated titers in excess of 1:400,000. Spleens and lymph nodes (pre-scapular, popliteal, and inguinal) were isolated and kept at 4°C. Single cell suspensions were prepared from each and cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen. Irradiated CHO cells expressing RbCD154 were plated at 4,500 cells per well.24 hours post- plating, B-cells were recovered, treated with DNAse I, and stimulated with pokeweed mitogen (PWN) for 1 hr at 37°C, 5% CO2. Final recovery was 42% with 89% viability. Cells were plated at 5 cells per well onto feeder cell-plated plates with 10 ng/mL human IL-2 and human IL-21. Cells were fed on day 7.100384-well plates were screened for binding to BSA-(Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin).7.7% of wells were positive for rabbit IgG production, and 68 wells were ELISA-positive for BSA-(Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin).50/68 hits were able to be amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced for both heavy and light chain V-regions and were subcloned into mammalian expression vectors for transient transfection in HEK-293F cells. mRNA Gene Rescue of Rabbit Antibodies against Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin [00389] Total RNA was isolated from wells producing rabbit IgG anti- Mal-(PEG)2-VCP- eribulin antibodies using RNAqueous™-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit (Ambion) according to manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA was synthesized and light and heavy chain variable

Transformants were grown in 1 mL TB medium (Teknova) overnight at 37°C on a microtiter plate shaker. The next day, cultures were miniprepped with a QIAprep 96 Turbo miniprep kit (Qiagen) using an epMotion 5075 according to the manufacture’s instruction. HEK cells [00391] For each milliliter of 3x106 cells to be transfected with ExpiFectamine (ThermoFisher), 333.3 ng HC plasmid and 333.3 ng LC plasmid was incubated for 5 -10 min in 50 μL Opti-MEM (ThermoFisher).

The DNA:ExpiFectamine mixture was added to the cells while swirling and incubated at 37°C, 8% CO2, shaking at 125 rpm. The following day, 5 μL of enhancer 1 and 50 μL of enhancer 2 per mL of cells were added to the transfection with continued incubation for another 7-10 days. After 48-72 h, cells were fed at a final concentration of 10 g/L Yeastolate (BD Biosciences), 5 mM valeric acid (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1:100 CD Lipid Concentrate (ThermoFisher).

At day 5, an additional 160 μL of feed per mL of cells was added. At day 12 to 14, the supernatants were harvested. Methods of antibody purification Batch purification [00393] Prosep-vA High Capacity Protein A resin (Millipore) was equilibrated with DPBS, and 50 μL were added to 2 mL of sample. Following incubation at room temperature for 1 hour, the medium and resin were added to a filter plate and washed twice with 1 mL DPBS. The sample was eluted from the resin by addition of 400 μL 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.9 followed by centrifugation at 15,000 x g for 30 s. The sample was neutralized with 20 μL of 1 M Tris, pH 8.0. The samples were concentrated to ~ 100 μL by centrifugation at 15,000 x g for 5 minutes using 0.5 mL Amicon Ultra, 10k cutoff filters (Millipore) and were buffer exchanged into DPBS using 0.5 mL Zeba desalting columns, 7K MWCO, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. MAb concentration was determined by measuring UV 280 nm absorbance and converting to mg/mL using extinction coefficient for antibody protein. Column purification [00394] Purification was performed using an AKTA Xpress purification platform (GE Healthcare). Up to 1 L conditioned medium was loaded onto a 1 or 5 mL MabSelect column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated in 20 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM NaCl, pH7.0. The column towas washed extensively with equilibration buffer following loading until a stable baseline was observed. Bound material was eluted using 100 mM glycine, pH 2.9. Eluted material was immediately injected on to either 2x5 mL HiTrap or 53 mL 26/10 HiPrep desalting column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated in 1x phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and eluted in the same buffer.

The column was washed extensively with equilibration buffer following loading until a stable baseline was observed. Bound material was eluted using a linear gradient of 10 mM to 500 mM imidazole in 50 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.5. Fractions were analyzed by non- reducing SDS-PAGE for the desired Fab-containing fractions. Peak fractions were pooled and dialyzed extensively against 1X DPBS at 4°C using 20 kDa MWCO dialysis cassettes. Purified material was analyzed for protein content by BCA assay (ThermoFisher) and electrophoresis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE. ELISA [00396] Diluted rabbit test bleeds, rabbit B-cell culture supernatants (68), or transiently- expressed In-Fusion cloned hits (50) evaluated using this assay. For test bleeds, 1:100 starting dilutions were serially diluted 2-fold). B-cell culture supernatants were used neat. For In- Fusion cloned hits, supernatants were quantitated by Octet assay using anti-human IgG biosensor tips. For ELISA, plates (384-well) were coated with BSA-[Mal-(PEG)2-VCP- eribulin] at 0.25 μg/mL overnight and blocked with 1x assay buffer (1x PBS w/ 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween-20). Test antibody samples (20 μL/well, 100 ng/mL for In-Fusion supernatants) were added to the plate and incubated 2 hr, room temperature. Plates were washed 3X and either HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit Fcγ (1:20,000, Jackson Labs) for test bleeds and B-cell culture supernatants, or HRP-conjugated donkey-anti human IgG+M (1:10,000, Sigma) for In-Fusion supernatants, was added. Plates were incubated 1 hr at room temperature, and then washed 3X.20 μL TMB substrate was then added and plates were incubated 7 min, then 20 μL 10% H2SO4 was added to stop the reaction. Plates were read at 450 nM on a Paradigm UV plate reader.

Following antibody capture, binding to either BSA-[Mal- (PEG)2-VCP-eribulin] (20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) or human serum albumin (HSA) conjugated to lysine groups with NHS-PEG4-DBCO-N3-PEG4-eribulin (referred to afterward as HSA-[PEG4-DBCO-N3-PEG4-eribulin], 20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) was observed for 150 sec at 1000 rpm shaking speed. Experiments were carried out at 25°C.Format #2 – Streptavidin-conjugated biosensor tips (Pall) were wetted/blocked in 1x assay buffer (1x PBS w/ 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween-20) for > 1 hr at room temperature. Biotinylated anti-MORAb- 003 AbD14628 (BioRad, 20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) was captured on streptavidin biosensor tips for 150 sec at 1000 rpm shaking speed. MORAb-003, MORAb-003-[Mal- (PEG)2-VCP-cryptophycin]4, or MORAb-202 (20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) was then captured on anti-MORAb-003 for 150 sec, 1000 shaking speed. Binding of purified rabbit- human chimeric anti- Mal-(PEG)2-VCP-eribulin clones (20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) was then observed for 150 sec at 1000 rpm shaking speed, followed by dissociation for 150 sec. Spacer specificity screening of 11G6 by Octet [00399] A reference antibody was used to generate a number of ADCs with different linkers, spacers, and cleavage sites, The ADCs were used to screen the specificity of anti- linker antibody 11G6 (list of linker payloads in FIGS.4A, 4D. Streptavidin-conjugated biosensor tips (Pall) were wetted/blocked in 1X assay buffer (1% casein in PBS (Thermo), with 2% Tween20) for > 1 hr at room temperature. The biotinylated recombinant reference antibody extracellular domain (20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) was captured on streptavidin biosensor tips for 300 sec at 1000 rpm shaking speed. Reference ADCs (20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) were then captured on antigen-loaded tips for 300 sec, 1000 shaking speed. Binding of 11G6 (20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer) was then observed for 300 sec at 1000 rpm shaking speed, followed binding of anti-eribulin 5E4 Fab (20 μg/mL in 1X assay buffer). Dissociation was then observed for 150 sec. Experiments were carried out at 25 °C. Affinity determination and DAR sensitivity assessment of 5E4 by SPR [00400] To mimic the SPR assay format (e.g., conditions) for an intact ADC immunoassay, an assay was set up to measure 5E4 binding to MORAb-003 and various DAR forms of MORAb-202, whereby biotinylated 5E4 Fab is captured on a streptavidin-coated biosensor
Attorney Docket No.15648.0054-00304 chip, followed by a titration of MORAb-003 and MORAb-003-based ADCs (MORAb-202 DAR variants). Biotinylated anti-eribulin antibodies AbD26976 and AbD26978 generated by phage display (BioRad) were included as positive-control comparators.5E4, AbD26976, and AbD26978 were adjusted to 2 µg/ml in HBS-P+ buffer (GE Healthcare). Streptavidin (CAP reagent) was captured on a CAP chip (GE Healthcare) by injection across all four flow cells at 2 μL/min for 300 sec on a BIAcore T100 (GE Healthcare). Anti-eribulin antibodies were captured on the CAP chip by injection of each antibody onto flow cells 2, 3, and 4, respectively, for 100 sec at 10 μL/min. To record the antigen association to the captured anti- eribulin antibodies, a series of increasing concentrations of analyte was injected for 300 sec at a flow rate of 30 μL/min.
