Abstract

bispecific bi- or trivalent antibody specifically binding to the two targets which are extracellular domain of human B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and human CD3 epsilon (CD3E), wherein the variable domains VL and VH in a light chain and the respective heavy chain are replaced by each other, characterized in comprising a constant domain CL wherein the amino acid at position 124 is substituted independently by lysine (K), arginine (R) or histidine (H) (numbering according to Kabat), and in the respective constant domain CH1 the amino acid at position 147 and the amino acid at position 213 is substituted independently by glutamic acid (E), or aspartic acid (D) (numbering according to Kabat). A further embodiment of the invention includes the use of the bispecific bi- or trivalent antibody in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of plasma cell disorders including multiple myeloma.

Claims (15)

We claim:
1. A bispecific antibody specifically binding to the extracellular domain of human BCMA and to human CD3, comprising: a) a first Fab which specifically binds to BCMA, wherein the first Fab comprises a first light chain and a first heavy chain, wherein the first light chain comprises a variable domain VL and a constant domain CL, and wherein the first heavy chain comprises a variable domain VH and a constant domain CH1; and b) a second Fab which specifically binds to CD3, wherein the second Fab comprises a second light chain and a second heavy chain, wherein the second light chain is a crossover light chain that comprises a variable domain VH and a constant domain CL, and wherein the second heavy chain is a crossover heavy chain that comprises a variable domain VL and a constant domain CH1; and wherein in the constant domain CL of the first light chain the amino acid at position 124 (numbering according to Kabat) is substituted independently by lysine (K), arginine (R) or histidine (H), and wherein in the constant domain CH1 of the first heavy chain the amino acid at position 147 and the amino acid at position 213 (numbering according to EU index of Kabat) is substituted independently by glutamic acid (E), or aspartic acid (D).
2. A bispecific antibody specifically binding to the extracellular domain of human BCMA and to human CD3, comprising: a) a first Fab which specifically binds to BCMA, wherein the first Fab comprises a first light chain and a first heavy chain, wherein the first light chain comprises a variable domain VL and a constant domain CL, and wherein the first heavy chain comprises a variable domain VH and a constant domain CH1; and b) a second Fab which specifically binds to CD3, wherein the second Fab comprises a second light chain and a second heavy chain, wherein the second light chain is a crossover light chain that comprises a variable domain VH and a constant domain CL, and wherein the second heavy chain is a crossover heavy chain that comprises a variable domain VL and a constant domain CH1; and wherein in the constant domain CL of the second light chain the amino acid at position 124 (numbering according to Kabat) is substituted independently by lysine (K), arginine (R) or histidine (H), and wherein in the constant domain CH1 of the second heavy chain the amino acid at positions 147 and the amino acid at position 213 (numbering according to EU index of Kabat) is substituted independently by glutamic acid (E), or aspartic acid (D).
3. A bispecific antibody according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the amino acid at position 123 in the constant domain CL (numbering according to Kabat) is substituted independently by lysine (K), arginine (R) or histidine (H).

11. A method for the preparation of a bispecific antibody according to any one of claims 1 to 10 comprising the steps of a) transforming an ex vivo host cell with one or more vectors comprising nucleic acid molecules encoding the light chains and heavy chains of a bispecific antibody according to any one of claims 1 to 10, b) culturing the ex vivo host cell under conditions that allow expression of said light chains and said heavy chains and synthesis of said bispecific antibody; and c) recovering said bispecific antibody from said culture.
