- antibodies do not contain many, if any, free and reactive cysteine thiol groups which can be linked to a drug moiety.
- Most cysteine thiol residues in antibodies exist as disulfide bridges and must be reduced with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) or TCEP, under partial or total reducing conditions.

- the loading (drug/antibody ratio) of an ADC may be controlled in several different manners, including: (i) limiting the molar excess of drug-linker intermediate (D-L) or linker reagent relative to antibody, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, and (iii) partial or limited reducing conditions for cysteine thiol modification.
- the disulfide bond structure of human IgGs is now well established (reviewed in Liu and May, mAbs 4 (2012): 17-23). There are in fact many similarities and some differences with regard to the disulfide bond structures of the 4 human IgG subclasses, namely IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. All IgG subclasses contain invariably 12 intra- chain disulfide bridges and the differences reside in their inter-chain disulfide bonds formed between heavy and light chains. Each intra-chain disulfide bond is associated with an individual IgG domain, i.e. variable (VL and VH) and constant (CL, CHI, CH2 and CH3) domains.
- VL and VH variable
- CL CHI, CH2 and CH3
- the 2 heavy chains of IgGl are linked in their hinge region by 2 disulfide bridges.
- the heavy and light chains are connected by a disulfide bond between the last cysteine residue of the light chain and the fifth residue of the heavy chain.
- Interchain disulfide bonds are highly solvent exposed and are consequently much more reactive than the intra-chain disulfide bonds, which are buried in anti-parallel beta-sheet structures within each domain and are not solvent exposed. For these reasons, whatever the antibody isotype, coupling will take place on inter-chain exposed cysteine residues after mild reduction.
- Each inter-chain disulfide bridge can thus form, theoretically, two sites of conjugation.
- Additional nucleophilic groups can be introduced into antibodies through the reaction of lysines with 2-iminothiolane (Traut's reagent) resulting in the conversion of an amine into a thiol.
- Reactive thiol groups may also be introduced into the antibody (or fragment thereof) by engineering one, two, three, four, or more cysteine residues (e.g., preparing mutant antibodies comprising one or more non-native cysteine amino acid residues).
- US 7521541 teaches engineering antibodies by introduction of reactive cysteine amino acids.
- Cysteine amino acids may be engineered at reactive sites in an antibody and which do not form intrachain or intermolecular disulfide linkages (Junutula, et al, 2008b Nature Biotech., 26(8):925-932; Dornan et al (2009) Blood 114(13):2721-2729; US 7521541; US 7723485; WO2009/052249).
- the engineered cysteine thiols may react with linker reagents or the drug-linker reagents of the present invention which have thiol-reactive, electrophilic groups such as maleimide or alpha- halo amides to form
- ADC with cysteine engineered antibodies and the drug moieties The location of the drug moiety can thus be designed, controlled, and known.
- the drug loading can be controlled since the engineered cysteine thiol groups typically react with thiol-reactive linker reagents or drug-linker reagents in high yield.
- Engineering an IgG antibody to introduce a cysteine amino acid by substitution at a single site on the heavy or light chain gives two new cysteines on the symmetrical antibody.
- a drug loading near 2 can be achieved with near homogeneity of the conjugation product ADC.
- the resulting product is a mixture of ADC compounds with a distribution of drug moieties attached to an antibody, e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Liquid chromatography methods such as polymeric reverse phase (PLRP) and hydrophobic interaction (HIC) may separate compounds in the mixture by drug loading value.
- Preparations of ADC with a single drug loading value (p) may be isolated, however, these single loading value ADCs may still be heterogeneous mixtures because the drug moieties may be attached, via the linker, at different sites on the antibody.
- drug ratio may be limited by the number of attachment sites on the antibody.
- High drug loading e.g. drug ratio >5, may cause aggregation, insolubility, toxicity, or loss of cellular permeability of certain antibody- drug conjugates.
- less drug moieties than the theoretical maximum are conjugated to an antibody during a conjugation reaction.

- TDM-1 did not induced complete regression even if its dosing was higher (15 mg/kg every 6 days vs 3 mg/kg, one injection respectively) than the one used for either Trastuzumab-E-13 or Trastuzumab-G-13.
- Example 4 In vivo activity of the tratuzumab antibody conjugated to either
- mice Fourteen days after JIMT-1 cell implantation, when tumors reached an average size of 220-230 mm 3 , the animals were divided into groups of 5 mice according to tumor size and aspect. The different treatments were inoculated by intraperitoneal injections. The health status of animals was monitored daily. Tumor volume was measured twice a week with an electronic calliper until study end. Tumor volume is calculated with the following formula: (length x width 2 )/2. Toxicity was evaluated following the weight of animals three times per week. Statistical analyses were performed at each measure using a Mann- Whitney test. All compounds were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.).
- TDM-1 seems to be less potent even if its dosing (15 mg/kg every 6 days vs 3 mg/kg, one injection respectively) was higher than the one used for either Trastuzumab-E-13 or Trastuzumab-G-13.

Background of the invention
The invention relates to an antibody-drug-conjugate (ADC) or conjugate and its use for the treatment of cancer.
ADCs combine the binding specificity of an antibody with the potency of drugs such as, for example, cytotoxic agents.

The use of ADCs allows the local delivery of drugs which, if administered as unconjugated drugs, may result in unacceptable levels of toxicity to normal cells. In other words, maximal efficacy with minimal toxicity is sought thereby.
At this day, an ADC on the market, known as TDM1, consists of the antibody
Trastuzumab (Herceptin™) which targets HER2-expressing cancer cells, linked to the antimicrotubule agent DM1 (which is a maytansinoid).

The first step consists of the condensing of compound (II), protected on its amine function by a protective group G, with compound (III). X may represent a leaving group such as a chlorine. In this case the first step consists of the reaction between an acid chloride and an amine. This reaction can be conducted using methods and techniques well known to those skilled in the art.

X may also be a hydroxyl (OH). In this case, the first step is a condensation reaction between the carboxylic acid (II) and the amine (III). This reaction can be performed following methods and techniques well known to skilled persons. In one particularly appreciated method, these two entities are caused to react in the presence of a coupling agent such as l-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethyl-carbodiimide (EDC), 3-hydroxy-
l,2,3-benzotriazin-4(3H)-one, a tertiary amine such as diisopropylethylamine, in a polar aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane or DMF, at a temperature notably between -15°C and 40°C. In another particularly appreciated method, these two entities are caused to react in the presence of diethyl phosphorocyanidate (DEPC), a tertiary amine such as triethylamine, in a polar aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane or DMF, at a temperature of between -15°C and 40°C. Another particularly appreciated method consists of causing these two entities to react in the presence of 0-(7- azabenzotriazol-l-yl)-l , 1 ,3,3-tetramethyl-uroniumhexafluorophosphate (HATU),a tertiary amine such as diisopropylethylamine, in a polar aprotic solvent such as dichloromethane or DMF, at a temperature of between-15°C and 100°C.
After deprotection of the intermediate using techniques well known to those skilled in the art (« Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis », T.W. Greene, John Wiley & Sons, 2006 and « Protecting Groups », P.J. Kocienski, Thieme Verlag, 1994), compound (IV) can be condensed with compound (V) following the methods and techniques described above to lead to compound (VI) after a deprotection step. This compound can then, after condensation with the intermediate (VII) and optional deprotection, lead to the formation of the drug. Compound (VI) can also be coupled with a compound (VIF) in whichR'3 is a precursor of R3, in particular an R3 group protected by a protective group. Coupling followed by deprotection of group R'3 to lead to R3 can be carried out following the same procedures as described previously.

In the foregoing synthesis schemes, a drug may lead to another drug after an additional reaction step such as saponification for example using methods well known to skilled persons whereby an R2 group representing an ester (COOMe), is changed to an R2 group representing a carboxylic acid (COOH).
If it is desired to isolate a drug containing at least one base function in the state of an acid addition salt, this is possible by treating the free base of the drug (containing at least one base function) with a suitable acid, preferably in equivalent quantity. The suitable acid may in particular be trifluoroacetic acid.
III - The linker (L)
"Linker", "Linker Unit", "L" or "link" means, in the present invention, a chemical moiety comprising a covalent bond or a chain of atoms that covalently attaches an antibody to at least one drug.
Linkers may be made using a variety of bifunctional protein coupling agents such as N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate (SPDP), succinimidyl-4-(N- maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-l-carboxylate (SMCC), iminothiolane (IT), bifunctional derivatives of imidoesters (such as dimethyl adipimidate HC1), active esters (such as disuccinimidyl suberate), aldehydes (such as glutaraldehyde), bis-azido compounds (such as bis (p-azidobenzoyl) hexanediamine), bis-diazonium derivatives (such as bis-
(p-diazoniumbenzoyl)-ethylenediamine), diisocyanates (such as toluene 2,6- diisocyanate), and bis-active fluorine compounds (such as l,5-difluoro-2,4- dinitrobenzene). Carbon- 14-labeled l-isothiocyanatobenzyl-3-methyldiethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (MX-DTPA) is an exemplary chelating agent for conjugation of cyctotoxic agents to the addressing system. Other cross-linker reagents may be
BMPS, EMCS, GMBS, HBVS, LC-SMCC, MBS, MPBH, SBAP, SIA, SIAB, SMCC, SMPB, SMPH, sulfo-EMCS, sulfo-GMBS, sulfo-KMUS, sulfo-MBS, sulfo-SIAB,
sulfo-SMCC, and sulfo-SMPB, and SVSB (succinimidyl-(4-vinylsulfone)benzoate) which are commercially available (e.g., from Pierce Biotechnology, Inc., Rockford, 111., U.S. A).
The linker may be a "non cleavable" or "cleavable".
In a preferred embodiment, it consists in a "cleavable linker" facilitating release of the drug in the cell. For example, an acid-labile linker, peptidase-sensitive linker, photolabile linker, dimethyl linker or disulfide- containing linker may be used. The linker is, in a preferred embodiment, cleavable under intracellular conditions, such that cleavage of the linker releases the drug from the antibody in the intracellular environment.
For example, in some embodiments, the linker is cleavable by a cleaving agent that is present in the intracellular environment (e.g., within a lysosome or endosome or caveolea). The linker can be, for example, a peptidyl linker that is cleaved by an intracellular peptidase or protease enzyme, including, but not limited to, a lysosomal or endosomal protease. Typically, the peptidyl linker comprises at least two successive amino acids or at least three successive amino acids or is at least two amino acids long or at least three amino acids long. Cleaving agents can include cathepsins B and D and plasmin, all of which are known to hydrolyze dipeptide drug derivatives resulting in the release of active drug inside target cells. For example, a peptidyl linker that is cleavable by the thiol-dependent protease cathepsin-B, which is highly expressed in cancerous tissue, can be used (e.g., a linker comprising or being Phe-Leu or Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly). In specific embodiments, the peptidyl linker cleavable by an intracellular protease comprises or is Val-Cit or Phe-Lys. One advantage of using intracellular proteolytic release of the drug is that the drug is typically attenuated when conjugated and the serum stabilities of the conjugates are typically high.
In other embodiments, the cleavable linker is pH-sensitive, i.e., sensitive to hydrolysis at certain pH values. Typically, the pH-sensitive linker is hydrolyzable under acidic conditions. For example, an acid-labile linker that is hydrolyzable in the lysosome (e.g., a hydrazone, semicarbazone, thiosemicarbazone, cis-aconitic amide, orthoester, acetal, ketal, or the like) can be used. Such linkers are relatively stable under neutral pH conditions, such as those in the blood, but are unstable at below pH 5.5 or 5.0, the approximate pH of the lysosome. In certain embodiments, the hydrolyzable
linker is a thioether linker (such as, e.g., a thioether attached to the drug via an acylhydrazone bond).
In yet other embodiments, the linker is cleavable under reducing conditions (e.g., a disulfide linker). A variety of disulfide linkers are known in the art, including, for example, those that can be formed using SATA (N-succinimidyl-S-acetylthioacetate), SPDP (N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate), SPDB (N-succinimidyl-3-(2- pyridyldithio)butyrate) and SMPT (N-succinimidyl-oxycarbonyl-alpha-methyl-alpha- (2-pyridyl-dithio)toluene).
In certain preferred embodiments, the linker unit may have the following general formula:
-(T)a-(W)w-(Y)y- wherein:
T is a stretcher unit;
a is 0 or 1 ;
W is an amino acid unit;
w is an integer ranging from 0 to 12;
Y is a spacer unit;
y is 0, 1 or 2. The stretcher unit (T), when present, links the antibody to an amino acid unit
(W) when present, or to the spacer unit when present, or directly to the drug. Useful functional groups that can be present on the antibody, either naturally or via chemical manipulation, include sulfhydryl, amino, hydroxyl, the anomeric hydroxyl group of a carbohydrate, and carboxyl. Suitable functional groups are sulfhydryl and amino. Sulfhydryl groups can be generated by reduction of the intramolecular disulfide bonds of the antibody, if present. Alternatively, sulfhydryl groups can be generated by reaction of an amino group of a lysine moiety of the antibody with 2-iminothiolane or other sulfhydryl generating reagents. In specific embodiments, the antibody is engineered to carry one or more lysines. More preferably, the antibody can be engineered to carry one or more Cysteines (cf. ThioMabs).
In certain specific embodiments, the stretcher unit forms a bond with a sulfur atom of the antibody. The sulfur atom can be derived from a sulfhydryl (-SH) group of a reduced antibody.
In certain other specific embodiments, the stretcher unit is linked to the antibody via a disulfide bond between a sulfur atom of the antibody and a sulfur atom of the stretcher unit.
In other specific embodiments, the reactive group of the stretcher contains a reactive site that can be reactive to an amino group of the antibody. The amino group can be that of an arginine or a lysine. Suitable amine reactive sites include, but are not limited to, activated esters (such as succinimide esters, 4-nitrophenyl esters, pentafluorophenyl esters), anhydrides, acid chlorides, sulfonyl chlorides, isocyanates and isothiocyanates.
In yet another aspect, the reactive function of the stretcher contains a reactive site that is reactive to a modified carbohydrate group that can be present on the antibody. In a specific embodiment, the antibody is glycosylated enzymatically to provide a carbohydrate moiety or is naturally glycosylated. The carbohydrate may be mildly oxidized with a reagent such as sodium periodate and the resulting carbonyl unit of the oxidized carbohydrate can be condensed with a stretcher that contains a functionality such as a hydrazide, an oxime, a reactive amine, a hydrazine, a thiosemicarbazide, a hydrazine carboxylate, or an arylhydrazide.
According to a particular embodiment, the stretcher unit has the following formula:
wherein
L2 is (C4-Cio)cycloalkyl-carbonyl, (C2-C6)alkyl or (C2-C6)alkyl-carbonyl (the cycloalkyl or alkyl moieties being linked to the nitrogen atom of the maleimide moiety),
the asterisk indicates the point of attachment to the amino acid unit, if present, to the spacer unit, if present, or to the drug D, and
the wavy line indicates the point of attachment to the antibody Ab.
By "(C4-Cio)cycloalkyl" in the present invention is meant a hydrocarbon cycle having 4 to 10 carbon atoms including, but not limited to, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl and the like.
wherein
the asterisk indicates the point of attachment to the amino acid unit, if present, to the spacer unit, if present, or to the drug D; and
the wavy line indicates the point of attachment to the nitrogen atom of the maleimide moiety.
The amino acid unit (W), when present, links the stretcher unit (T) if present, or otherwise the antibody to the spacer unit (Y) if the spacer unit is present, or to the drug if the spacer unit is absent.
As above mentioned, (W)w is absent (w = 0) or may be a dipeptide, tripeptide, tetrapeptide, pentapeptide, hexapeptide, heptapeptide, octapeptide, nonapeptide, decapeptide, undecapeptide or dodecapeptide unit, wherein the amino acids forming the peptides can be different from one another.
Thus (W)w can be represented by the following formula: (Wl)wi(W2)w2(W3)W3(W4)w4(W5)W5, wherein each Wl to W5 represents, independently from one another, an amino acid unit and each wl to w5 is 0 or 1.
In some embodiments, the amino acid unit (W)w may comprise amino acid residues such as those occurring naturally, as well as minor amino acids and non- naturally occurring amino acid analogs, such as citrulline.
The amino acid residues of the amino acid unit (W)w include, without limitation, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, proline, lysine protected or not with acetyl or formyl, arginine, arginine protected or not with
tosyl or nitro groups, histidine, ornithine, ornithine protected with acetyl or formyl, and citrulline. Exemplary amino acid linker components include preferably a dipeptide, a tripeptide, a tetrapeptide or a pentapeptide, notably a dipeptide or a tripeptide.
Exemplary dipeptides include: Val-Cit, Ala-Val, Ala- Ala, Val-Ala, Lys-Lys, Cit-Cit, Val-Lys, Ala-Phe, Phe-Lys, Ala-Lys, Phe-Cit, Leu-Cit, lle-Cit, Trp-Cit, Phe- Ala, Phe-N9-tosyl-Arg, Phe-N9-Nitro-Arg.
Exemplary tripeptides include: Val-Ala- Val, Ala-Asn-Val, Val-Leu-Lys, Ala- Ala- Asn, Phe-Phe-Lys, Gly-Gly-Gly, D-Phe-Phe-Lys, Gly-Phe-Lys.
Exemplary tetrapeptide include: Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly (SEQ ID NO. 53), Ala-Leu- Ala-Leu (SEQ ID NO. 54).
Exemplary pentapeptide include: Pro-Val-Gly-Val-Val (SEQ ID NO. 55).
According to a particular embodiment, (W)w can be a dipeptide (i.e. w = 2) such as Val-Cit, or the linker lacks an amino acid unit (w=0). When the linker lacks an amino acid unit, preferably it lacks also a spacer unit.
According to a preferred embodiment, w = 0 (i.e. (W)w is a single bond) or w =
2 (i.e. (W)w is a dipeptide) and (W)w can thus be selected from:
and in particular is Val-Cit,
wherein
the asterisk indicates the point of attachment to the spacer unit if present, or to the drug D; and
the wavy line indicates the point of attachment to L2.
Amino acid linker components can be designed and optimized in their selectivity for enzymatic cleavage by a particular enzyme, for example, a tumor-associated protease, cathepsin B, C and D, or a plasmin protease.
The amino acid unit of the linker can be enzymatically cleaved by an enzyme including, but not limited to, a tumor-associated protease to liberate the drug.
The amino acid unit can be designed and optimized in its selectivity for enzymatic cleavage by a particular tumor-associated protease. The suitable units are those whose cleavage is catalyzed by the proteases, cathepsin B, C and D, and plasmin.
The spacer unit (Y), when present, links an amino acid unit if present, or the stretcher unit if present, or otherwise the antibody to the drug. Spacer units are of two general types: self-immolative and non self-immolative. A non self-immolative spacer unit is one in which part or all of the spacer unit remains bound to the drug after enzymatic cleavage of an amino acid unit from the antibody-drug conjugate. Examples of a non self-immolative spacer unit include, but are not limited to a (glycine-glycine) spacer unit and a glycine spacer unit. To liberate the drug, an independent hydrolysis reaction should take place within the target cell to cleave the glycine-drug unit bond.
In a particular embodiment, a non self-immolative the spacer unit (Y) is Gly.
Alternatively, an antibody-drug conjugate containing a self-immolative spacer unit can release the drug without the need for a separate hydrolysis step. In these embodiments, (Y) is a residue of p-aminobenzyl alcohol (PAB) unit that is linked to (W)w via the nitrogen atom of the PAB group, and connected directly to the drug via a ester, carbonate, carbamate or ether group.
Other examples of self-immolative spacers include, but are not limited to, aromatic compounds that are electronically equivalent to the PAB group such as residues of 2-aminoimidazol-5-methanol derivatives and ortho or para- aminobenzylacetals. Spacers can be used that undergo facile cyclization upon amide bond hydrolysis, such as substituted and unsubstituted 4-amino butyric acid amides, appropriately substituted bicyclo[2.2.1] and bicyclo[2.2.2] ring systems and 2- aminophenylpropionic acid amides.
In an alternate embodiment, the spacer unit is a branched bis(hydroxymethyl)styrene (BHMS) unit, which can be used to incorporate additional drugs.
In a particular embodiment, the spacer unit (Y) is PAB-carbonyl with PAB being
(the oxygen of the PAB unit being linked to the carbonyl), 1 or the linker lacks a spacer unit (y=0).
In a particular embodiment, the linker has the following formula (III):
(III)
wherein
L2 is (C4-Cio)cycloalkyl-carbonyl, (C2-C6)alkyl or (C2-C6)alkyl-carbonyl (the carbonyl of these moieties, when present, being linked to (W)w),
W represents an amino acid unit, with w representing an integer comprised between 0 and 5,
Y is PAB-carbonyl, with PAB being
(the oxygen of the PAB unit being linked to the carbonyl), and y is 0 or 1 (preferably y is 0 when w is 0 and y is 0 or 1 when w is comprised between 1 and 5),
the asterisk indicates the point of attachment to the drug D, and
the wavy line indicates the point of attachment to the antibody Ab.
Advantageously, L2 is (C2-C6)alkyl-carbonyl such as a pentyl-carbonyl of the following formula:
wherein
the asterisk indicates the point of attachment to (W)w; and
the wavy line indicates the point of attachment to the nitrogen atom of the maleimide moiety.
Accordin to a preferred embodiment, the linker L is selected from:
wherein the asterisk indicates the point of attachment to the drug D, and the wavy line indicates the point of attachment to the antibody Ab.

In a preferred embodiment, the antibody-drug conjugate of the invention may be prepared by any method known by the person skilled in the art such as, without limitation, i) reaction of a nucleophilic group of the antibody with a bivalent linker reagent followed by reaction with a nucleophilic group of the drug or ii) reaction of a nucleophilic group of the drug with a bivalent linker reagent followed by reaction with a nucleophilic group of the antibody.
Nucleophilic groups on antibody include, without limitation, N-terminal amine groups, side chain amine groups (e.g. lysine), side chain thiol groups, and sugar hydroxyl or amino groups when the antibody is glycosylated.
Nucleophilic groups on the drug include, without limitation, amine, thiol, and hydroxyl groups, and preferably amine groups.
Amine, thiol, and hydroxyl groups are nucleophilic and capable of reacting to form covalent bonds with electrophilic groups on linker moieties and linker reagents including, without limitation, active esters such as NHS esters, HOBt esters, halo formates, and acid halides; alkyl and benzyl halides such as haloacetamides; aldehydes; ketones; carboxyl; and maleimide groups. The antibody may have reducible interchain disulfides, i.e. cysteine bridges. The antibody may be made reactive for conjugation with linker reagents by treatment with a reducing agent such as DTT (dithiothreitol). Each cysteine bridge will thus form, theoretically, two reactive thiol nucleophiles. Additional nucleophilic groups can be introduced into the antibody through any reaction known by the person skilled in the art. As non limitative example, reactive thiol groups may be introduced into the antibody by introducing one or more cysteine residues.
Antibody-drug conjugates may also be produced by modification of the antibody to introduce electrophilic moieties, which can react with nucleophilic substituents on the linker reagent. The sugars of glycosylated antibody may be oxidized to form aldehyde or ketone groups which may react with the amine group of linker reagents or drug. The resulting imine Schiff base groups may form a stable linkage, or may be reduced to form stable amine linkages. In one embodiment, reaction of the carbohydrate portion of a glycosylated antibody with either galactose oxidase or sodium meta-periodate may
yield carbonyl (aldehyde and ketone) groups in the protein that can react with appropriate groups on the drug. In another embodiment, proteins containing N-terminal serine or threonine residues can react with sodium meta-periodate, resulting in production of an aldehyde in place of the first amino acid.
In a preferred embodiment, the antibody-drug conjugate of the invention is prepared by preparation of the drug-linker moiety followed by coupling between a nucleophilic group of the antibody (for ex. the SH group of a cysteine moiety) and an electrophilic group of the drug-linker moiety (for ex. a maleimide). 1. Drug-Linker
The Drug-Linker moiety can be prepared by coupling:
- the linker with the drug,
- a part of the linker with the drug before completing the synthesis of the linker,
- the linker with a part or a precursor of the drug before completing the synthesis of the drug, or
- a part of the linker with a part or a precursor of the drug before completing the synthesis of the linker and the drug.
The coupling reactions are well known reactions for the one skilled in the art between a nucleopilic group and an electrophilic group.
The nucleophilic group can be in particular an amine, thiol or hydroxyl group, and notably an amine or hydroxyl group. In a preferred embodiment it is a primary or secondary amine group.
The electrophilic group can be a carboxylic acid group (COOH) optionally in an activated form or an activated carbonate ester moiety.
By "activated form" of a carboxylic acid is meant a carboxylic acid in which the
OH moiety of the COOH function has been replaced with an activated leaving group (LG) enabling coupling of the activated carboxylic acid group with an amino group in order to form an amide bond and release the compound LG-H. Activated forms may be activated esters, activated amides, anhydrides or acyl halides such as acyl chlorides. Activated esters include derivatives formed by reaction of the carboxylic acid group with N-hydroxybenzotriazole or N-hydroxysuccinimide.
By "activated carbonate ester" is meant a carbonate ester comprising a -OC(0)OR moiety in which OR represents a good leaving group enabling coupling of the activated carbonate ester with an amino group in order to form a carbamate moiety and release the compound ROH. The R group of the activated carbonate ester includes, without limitation, the p-nitro-phenyl, pentafluorophenyl, 2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-lH- pyrrol-l-yl and benzyl groups, preferably the p-nitro-phenyl and pentafluorophenyl groups.
When the linker has the following formula (III):
(III)
the Drug-Linker moiety has the following formula (IV):
(IV)
and the last step of the synthesis of the Drug-Linker moiety is generally the coupling between a compound of the following formula (V):
(V)
where L2 is as defined previously and LG represents a leaving group notably a halide such as a chloride or a group derived from N-hydroxysuccinimide,
and a compound of the following formula (VI):
Η (W)w-(Y)y— D
(VI).
When y = 1 and Y = PAB-carbonyl, the compound of formula (VI) can be prepared by the coupling between the drug (DH) and a compound of the following formula (VII) or a protected form thereof:
H-(W)W-PAB— CO— OR
(VII)
where W and w are as defined previously and R is as defined in the definition of the "activated carbonate ester".
When the compound of formula (VII) is in a protected form, final step of deprotection is necessary.
When y = 0, the compound (VI) has the formula H-(W)W-D, wherein (W)w and D are composed of amino acid units. Consequently, the compound (VI) can be prepared in this case by a conventional peptide synthesis method well known to the one skilled in the art.
2. Ab-Linker-Drug
A preferred embodiment according to the invention consists of a coupling between a cysteine present on the antibody and an electrophilic group of the Drug- Linker moiety, preferably with a maleimide moiety present on the Drug-Linker moiety.
The maleimide-cysteine coupling can be performed by methods well known to the person skilled in the art.
Generally, antibodies do not contain many, if any, free and reactive cysteine thiol groups which can be linked to a drug moiety. Most cysteine thiol residues in antibodies exist as disulfide bridges and must be reduced with a reducing agent such as dithiothreitol (DTT) or TCEP, under partial or total reducing conditions. The loading (drug/antibody ratio) of an ADC may be controlled in several different manners, including: (i) limiting the molar excess of drug-linker intermediate (D-L) or linker reagent relative to antibody, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, and (iii) partial or limited reducing conditions for cysteine thiol modification.
The disulfide bond structure of human IgGs is now well established (reviewed in Liu and May, mAbs 4 (2012): 17-23). There are in fact many similarities and some differences with regard to the disulfide bond structures of the 4 human IgG subclasses, namely IgGl, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. All IgG subclasses contain invariably 12 intra-
chain disulfide bridges and the differences reside in their inter-chain disulfide bonds formed between heavy and light chains. Each intra-chain disulfide bond is associated with an individual IgG domain, i.e. variable (VL and VH) and constant (CL, CHI, CH2 and CH3) domains. The 2 heavy chains of IgGl are linked in their hinge region by 2 disulfide bridges. The heavy and light chains are connected by a disulfide bond between the last cysteine residue of the light chain and the fifth residue of the heavy chain. Interchain disulfide bonds are highly solvent exposed and are consequently much more reactive than the intra-chain disulfide bonds, which are buried in anti-parallel beta-sheet structures within each domain and are not solvent exposed. For these reasons, whatever the antibody isotype, coupling will take place on inter-chain exposed cysteine residues after mild reduction. Each inter-chain disulfide bridge can thus form, theoretically, two sites of conjugation.
Additional nucleophilic groups can be introduced into antibodies through the reaction of lysines with 2-iminothiolane (Traut's reagent) resulting in the conversion of an amine into a thiol. Reactive thiol groups may also be introduced into the antibody (or fragment thereof) by engineering one, two, three, four, or more cysteine residues (e.g., preparing mutant antibodies comprising one or more non-native cysteine amino acid residues). US 7521541 teaches engineering antibodies by introduction of reactive cysteine amino acids.
Cysteine amino acids may be engineered at reactive sites in an antibody and which do not form intrachain or intermolecular disulfide linkages (Junutula, et al, 2008b Nature Biotech., 26(8):925-932; Dornan et al (2009) Blood 114(13):2721-2729; US 7521541; US 7723485; WO2009/052249). The engineered cysteine thiols may react with linker reagents or the drug-linker reagents of the present invention which have thiol-reactive, electrophilic groups such as maleimide or alpha- halo amides to form
ADC with cysteine engineered antibodies and the drug moieties. The location of the drug moiety can thus be designed, controlled, and known. The drug loading can be controlled since the engineered cysteine thiol groups typically react with thiol-reactive linker reagents or drug-linker reagents in high yield. Engineering an IgG antibody to introduce a cysteine amino acid by substitution at a single site on the heavy or light chain gives two new cysteines on the symmetrical antibody. A drug loading near 2 can be achieved with near homogeneity of the conjugation product ADC.
Where more than one nucleophilic or electrophilic group of the antibody reacts with a drug-linker intermediate, or linker reagent followed by drug moiety reagent, then the resulting product is a mixture of ADC compounds with a distribution of drug moieties attached to an antibody, e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc. Liquid chromatography methods such as polymeric reverse phase (PLRP) and hydrophobic interaction (HIC) may separate compounds in the mixture by drug loading value. Preparations of ADC with a single drug loading value (p) may be isolated, however, these single loading value ADCs may still be heterogeneous mixtures because the drug moieties may be attached, via the linker, at different sites on the antibody.
For some antibody-drug conjugates, drug ratio may be limited by the number of attachment sites on the antibody. High drug loading, e.g. drug ratio >5, may cause aggregation, insolubility, toxicity, or loss of cellular permeability of certain antibody- drug conjugates. Typically, less drug moieties than the theoretical maximum are conjugated to an antibody during a conjugation reaction.
The drug loading also referred as the Drug-Antibody ratio (DA ) is the average number of drugs per cell binding agent.
In the case of IgGl isotype, where the drugs are bound to cysteines after partial antibody reduction, drug loading may range from 1 to 8 drugs (D) per antibody, i.e. where 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 drug moieties are covalently attached to the antibody.
Compositions of ADC include collections of cell binding agents, e.g. antibodies, conjugated with a range of drugs, from 1 to 8 or 1 to 12.
The average number of drugs per antibody in preparations of ADC from conjugation reactions may be characterized by conventional means such as UV, reverse phase HPLC, HIC, mass spectrometry, ELISA assay, and electrophoresis.
An alternative consists of lysine coupling. An antibody may contain, for example, many lysine residues that do not react with the drug-linker intermediate (D-L) or linker reagent. Only the most reactive lysine groups may react with an amine- reactive linker reagent. Also, only the most reactive cysteine thiol groups may react with a thiol-reactive linker reagent.
Where the compounds of the invention are bound to lysines, drug loading may range from 1 to 80 drugs (D) per cell antibody, although an upper limit of 40, 20, 10 or 8 may be preferred. Compositions of ADC include collections of cell binding agents,
e.g. antibodies, conjugated with a range of drugs, from 1 to 80, 1 to 40, 1 to 20, 1 to 10 or 1 to 8.
The ADC of formula (I) according to the invention can be in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
In the present invention by "pharmaceutically acceptable" is meant that which can be used in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition which is generally, safe non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and which is acceptable for veterinary use as well as for human pharmaceutical use.
By "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" of a compound is meant a salt which is pharmaceutically acceptable as defined herein and which has the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts notably comprise:
(1) the addition salts of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid formed with pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, sulfuric and similar acids; or formed with pharmaceutically acceptable organic acids such as acetic, trifluoroacetic, propionic, succinic, fumaric, malic, tartaric, citric, ascorbic, maleic, glutamic, benzoic, salicylic, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, stearic, lactic and similar acids; and
(2) the addition salts of a pharmaceutically acceptable base formed when an acid proton present in the parent compound is either replaced by a metallic ion e.g. an alkaline metal ion, an alkaline-earth metal ion or an aluminium ion; or coordinated with a pharmaceutically acceptable organic base such as lysine, arginine and similar; or with a pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide, potash, calcium hydroxide and similar.
These salts can be prepared from the compounds of the invention containing a base or acid function, and the corresponding acids or bases using conventional chemical methods.
V - Treatment
Finally, the invention relates to an ADC as above described for use as a medicament, in particular in the treatment of cancer.
A further subject of the present invention is a formal (I) compound such as defined above for use as medicinal product, in particular for the treatment of cancer.
The present invention also concerns the use of a formula (I) compound such as defined above for producing a medicinal product, particularly intended for the treatment of cancer.
The present invention also concerns a method for treating cancer comprising the administration to a person in need thereof of an effective mount of a formula (I) compound such as defined above.
Cancers can be preferably selected through HER2 -related cancers including tumoral cells expressing or over-expressing whole or part of HER2 at their surface.
More particularly, said cancers are breast cancer, colon cancer, esophageal carcinoma, hepatocellular cancer, gastric cancer, glioma, lung cancer, melanoma, osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, renal cancer, thyroid cancer, uterine endometrial cancer, schwannoma, neuroblastoma, oral squamous cancer, mesothelioma, leiomyosarcoma, Kaposi sarcoma, acute leukemia, colorectal carcinoma, melanoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and any drug resistance phenomena or cancers. Preferred cancers are breast cancer, gastric cancer and lung cancer.
For the avoidance of doubt, by drug resistance HER2-expressing cancers, it must be understood not only resistant cancers which initially express HER2 but also cancers which initially do not express or overexpress HER2 but which express HER2 once they have become resistant to a previous treatment.
As it will be apparent from the following examples, a particular advantage of the ADC of the invention is that it is efficient in the treatment of large and/or established tumors contrary to known ADC. This aspect represents a real improvement for the patient as it will allow the treatment of advanced cancers, resistant cancers or both. This aspect seems also promising for the patient as it will allow the decrease of the necessary doses of ADC to be injected to the patient in order to show a real efficacy.
In an embodiment, the composition is for use in the treatment of a cancer that express Her2.
In an embodiment, the composition is for use in the treatment of large tumors that express Her2.
By "large tumors" it is intended to designate tumors satisfying at least a predefined size in volume which is well known by a skill person and which depends on the cancer and the tissue or organ concerned by the tumor (wording opposite to the term "small tumors"). In a preferred embodiment, by "large tumors" it is intended to designate tumors having a size volume > 150 mm3, more preferably > 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500 mm3.
Another object of the invention is a pharmaceutical composition comprising the ADC as described in the specification.
More particularly, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the ADC of the invention with at least an excipient and/or a pharmaceutical acceptable vehicle.
In the present description, the expression "pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle" or "excipient" is intended to indicate a compound or a combination of compounds entering into a pharmaceutical composition not provoking secondary reactions and which allows, for example, facilitation of the administration of the active compound(s), an increase in its lifespan and/or in its efficacy in the body, an increase in its solubility in solution or else an improvement in its conservation. These pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles and excipients are well known and will be adapted by the person skilled in the art as a function of the nature and of the mode of administration of the active compound(s) chosen.
The active ingredient can be administered in unit forms of administration, in a mixture with conventional pharmaceutical carriers, to animals or to human beings. Suitable unit forms of administration comprise forms via oral route and forms for administration via parenteral route (subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular or intravenous).
As solid compositions, for oral administration, use can be made of tablets, pills, powders (hard or soft gelatine capsules) or granules. In these compositions, the active ingredient of the invention is mixed with one or more inert diluents such as starch, cellulose, sucrose, lactose or silica, in a stream of argon. These compositions may also comprise substances other than diluents, for example one or more lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc, a colouring agent, a coating (coated tablets) or a varnish.
The sterile compositions for parenteral administration may preferably be aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions or emulsions. As solvent or vehicle, use can be made of water, propylene glycol, a polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, in particular olive oil, injectable organic esters e.g. ethyl oleate or other suitable organic solvents. These compositions may also contain adjuvants, in particular wetting, isotonic, emulsifying, dispersing and stabilising agents. Sterilisation can be performed in several manners, for example by sanitising filtration, by incorporating sterilising agents into the composition, by radiation or by heating. They can also be prepared in the form of solid sterile compositions which can be dissolved at the time of use in sterile water or any other injectable sterile medium.
Preferably, these ADCs will be administered by the systemic route, in particular by the intravenous route, by the intramuscular, intradermal, intraperitoneal or subcutaneous route, or by the oral route. In a more preferred manner, the composition comprising the ADCs according to the invention will be administered several times, in a sequential manner.
The invention concerns thus also a kit comprising at least i) an antibody-drug- conjugate according to the invention and/or a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention and ii) a syringe or vial or ampoule in which the said antibody-drug- conjugate and/or pharmaceutical composition is disposed.
Their modes of administration, dosages and optimum pharmaceutical forms can be determined according to the criteria generally taken into account in the establishment of a treatment adapted to a patient such as, for example, the age or the body weight of the patient, the seriousness of his/her general condition, the tolerance to the treatment and the secondary effects noted.

Example 15: Antiproliferative activity of the Drugs
Method:
Cell culture. A549 (Non Small Cell Lung Cancer - ATCC CCL-185) and MDA- MB-231 (breast adenocarcinoma - ATCC HTB-26) cells were cultured in Minimum Essential Medium Eagle (MEM) with 5%> fetal calf serum (FCS) and Dulbecco's modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) with 10% FCS respectively. MCF7 (breast ductal carcinoma - ATCC HTB-22) and SN-12C (kidney carcinoma - ATCC) cells were maintained in RPMI1640 medium (without phenol red for MCF7 cells) containing 10% FCS. All the media were supplemented with fungizone (1.25 μg/mL) and penicillin- streptomycin (100 U / 100 μg/mL). Cells were cultured under standard conditions in an incubator at 37°C, 5%> C02 and 95%> atmospheric humidity.
Antiproliferative activity on 4 tumor cell lines. Selected drugs were investigated for their antiproliferative activity using an ATP lite proliferation assay (Perkin Elmer, Villebon sur Yvette, France) on a comprehensive panel of 4 cell lines. Cells were seeded in 96 well plates (103 cells/well for A549, 2.103 for MCF7, MDA-
MB-231 and SN12C) at day 0 at a concentration to ensure cells remained in logarithmic cell growth phase throughout the 72 h drug treatment period. After a 24h incubation
period, all the cells were treated with serial dilutions of the tested compounds (1 Ιμί of a 10X solution in 1% DMSO - 6 wells/ condition). To avoid adherence of the compounds onto the tips, tips were changed between two consecutive dilutions. Cells were then placed in 37°C, 5% C02 incubator. On day 4, cell viability was evaluated by dosing the ATP released by viable cells. The number of viable cells was analyzed in comparison with the number of solvent treated cells. The EC50 values were determined with curve fitting analysis (non linear regression model with a sigmoidal dose response, variable hill slope coefficient), performed with the algorithm provided by the GraphPad Software (GraphPad Software Inc., CA, USA).

Example 2: ADC synthesis, purification and characterization
Trastuzumab (1-5 mg/ml) was partially reduced with Tris(2- carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP) in 10 mM borate buffer pH 8.4 containing 150 mM NaCl and 2 mM EDTA for 2 h at 37°C. Typically, 2.75 molar equivalents of TCEP were used to target a Drug-to-Antibody Ratios (DAR) of around 4. The partial antibody reduction was confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis under non reducing conditions. Before Linker-Drug coupling to the released interchain cysteine residues, the reduction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. The antibody concentration was then adjusted to 1 mg/ml with 10 mM borate buffer pH 8.4 containing 150 mM NaCl and 2 mM EDTA, and a 7 molar excess of drug to antibody was added from a 10 mM solution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The final DMSO concentration was adjusted to 10% to maintain the solubility of the drug in the aqueous medium during coupling. The reaction was carried out for 1 h at room temperature. The drug excess was quenched by addition of 1.5 moles of N-acetylcysteine per mole of drug and incubation for 1 h at room temperature. After dialysis against 25 mM His buffer pH 6.5 containing 150 mM NaCl overnight at 4°C, the antibody-drug-conjugates were purified by using methods known to persons skilled in the art based with commercial chromatography columns and ultrafiltration units. First, the non coupled drug and the ADC aggregates were eliminated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) on a S200 (GE Life Sciences) column. The purified ADC monomers were then
concentrated to 3 mg/ml by affinity chromatography on Protein A. The purified ADCs were stored at 4°C after sterile filtration on 0.2 μιη filter. They were further analyzed by SDS-PAGE under reducing and non reducing conditions to confirm drug conjugation and by SEC on an analytical S200 column to determine the content of monomers and aggregated forms. Protein concentrations were determined by using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay with IgG as standard. The DAR was estimated for each purified ADC by HIC. Typically, the content of aggregated forms was lower than 5% and the DAR was comprised between 4 and 5. Example 3: In vivo activity of the tratuzumab antibody conjugated to either
E-13 or G-13 compounds in the Calu-3 xenograft model.
In order to confirm the in vivo efficacy of antibodies coupled to G-13 or E-13 compounds, they have been coupled to Tratuzumab and tested in the HER2 sensitive xenograft model Calu-3 known for its HER2 amplification and (3 ) expression. The antibody Tratuzumab was purchased from Euromedex, 24 Rue des Tuileries 67460 SOUFFELWEYERSHEIM / France.
All animal procedures were performed according to the guidelines of the 2010/63/UE Directive on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes. The protocol was approved by the Animal Ethical Committee of the Pierre Fabre Institute. Seven millions Calu-3 cells were injected subcutaneous into 7 weeks old SCID mice.
Six days after Calu-3 cell implantation, when tumors reached an average size of 250-260 mm3, the animals were divided into groups of 6 mice according to tumor size and aspect. The different treatments were inoculated by intraperitoneal injections. The health status of animals was monitored daily. Tumor volume was measured twice a week with an electronic calliper until study end. Tumor volume is calculated with the following formula: (length x width2)/2. Toxicity was evaluated following the weight of animals three times per week. Statistical analyses were performed at each measure using a Mann- Whitney test. All compounds were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.). In this example, the anti-tumor activity of Tratuzumab mAb coupled with either E-13 or G-13 at about DAR 4 was evaluated after 1 injections of a 3 mg/kg dose at D6. In parallel
Tratuzumab alone was injected at the equivalent dose of the one corresponding to 3mg/kg of naked antibody.
Injection of either Trastuzumab-E-13 (Figure 1) or Trastuzumab-G-13 (Figure 2) significantly inhibited the tumor growth and even induced a complete tumor growth regression in all treated mice (p <0.05 vs corresponding naked antibody). No statistical activity difference was observed between Trastuzumab-E-13, and Trastuzumab-G-13 groups. Compared to published data (Cretella et al. Molecular Cancer 2014, 13: 143) on this Calu-3 model, TDM-1 did not induced complete regression even if its dosing was higher (15 mg/kg every 6 days vs 3 mg/kg, one injection respectively) than the one used for either Trastuzumab-E-13 or Trastuzumab-G-13. Example 4: In vivo activity of the tratuzumab antibody conjugated to either
E-13 or G-13 compounds in the JIMT-1 xenograft model.
In order to know whether Trastuzumab antibody conjugates display also an activity on a model known to be resistant to Trastuzumab, the JIMT-1 xenograft model that highly expressed HER2 but that was resistant to Tratuzumab therapy was evaluated. .All animal procedures were performed according to the guidelines of the 2010/63/UE Directive on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes. The protocol was approved by the Animal Ethical Committee of the Pierre Fabre Institute. Seven millions JIMT-1 cells were injected subcutaneous into 7 weeks old SCID mice.
Fourteen days after JIMT-1 cell implantation, when tumors reached an average size of 220-230 mm3, the animals were divided into groups of 5 mice according to tumor size and aspect. The different treatments were inoculated by intraperitoneal injections. The health status of animals was monitored daily. Tumor volume was measured twice a week with an electronic calliper until study end. Tumor volume is calculated with the following formula: (length x width2)/2. Toxicity was evaluated following the weight of animals three times per week. Statistical analyses were performed at each measure using a Mann- Whitney test. All compounds were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.). In this example, the anti-tumor activity of Trastuzumab mAb coupled with either E-13 or G-13 at about DAR 4 was evaluated after 1 injections of a 3 mg/kg dose at D6 (Figures 3 and 4). In a first experiment, we have showed that Trastuzumab alone did not have any anti-tumoral effect (Figure 5). This result is in agreement with published data.
Injection of either Trastuzumab-E-13 (Figure 3) or Trastuzumab-G-13 (Figure 4) significantly inhibited the tumor growth traduced by respectively 73 and 70% of growth inhibition at day 34. No statistical activity difference could be noted between Trastuzumab-E-13, and Trastuzumab-G-13. As already observed in the Calu-3 model and compared to published data (Barok et al. Breast Cancer Research 2011, 13:R46) on this JIMT-1 model, TDM-1 seems to be less potent even if its dosing (15 mg/kg every 6 days vs 3 mg/kg, one injection respectively) was higher than the one used for either Trastuzumab-E-13 or Trastuzumab-G-13. The in vivo activity of Trastuzumab-G-13 in the Tastuzumab-resistant JIMT-1 model, when tumor volume reached 350 mm3 (D29) and after a single ADC injection, was also evaluated. Results are represented in Figure 6. Trastuzumab-G-13 induced more than 70% tumor growth inhibition 20 days after a single injection whereas multiple T-DM1 injections at higher doses (15 mg/kg Q6dn) were described as being inactive (published data).
The In vivo activity of Trastuzumab-G-13 in the Tastuzumab-resistant JIMT-1 model, when tumor volume reached 650 mm3 (Days 36) was also evaluated. Results are represented in Figure 7. Trastuzumab-G-13 induced more than 50% of tumor growth inhibition 20 days after a single injection whereas multiple T-DM1 injections at higher doses (15 mg/kg Q6dn) were described as being inactive (published data).
