Definitions
- the present invention relates to a T cell redirection antigen-binding molecule capable of treating various cancer types by damaging cells having a function of suppressing an immune response, and a combination therapy using the T cell redirection antigen-binding molecule. .
- Antibodies are attracting attention as pharmaceuticals because of their high stability in plasma and few side effects. Among them, many IgG-type antibody drugs are on the market, and many antibody drugs have been developed (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2).
- Non-patent Document 3 As a cancer therapeutic drug using an antibody drug, Rituxan for CD20 antigen, cetuximab for EGFR antigen, Herceptin for HER2 antigen, etc. have been approved (Non-patent Document 3). These antibody molecules bind to antigens expressed in cancer cells and exert damaging activity against cancer cells by ADCC and the like.
- Non-Patent Document 4 an immune checkpoint molecule, is known to have a function of suppressing activation of T cells, and is strongly expressed in activated effector T cells and regulatory T cells. In the cancer microenvironment, it is thought that effector T cells that recognize tumors are suppressed by CTLA4.
- Ipilimumab is a neutralizing antibody against CTLA4, and is thought to activate the effector T cell that recognizes the tumor by inhibiting the suppression of the activation of the effector T cell, thereby exhibiting an antitumor effect (Non-patent Document 5). .
- nivolumab a neutralizing antibody against PD1, an immune checkpoint molecule, is highly effective against metastatic melanoma by activating effector T cells that recognize tumors that are suppressed by PD1.
- Non-Patent Document 6 was recently reported.
- Non-patent Document 7 which is ipilimumab, an IgG1-type anti-CTLA4 antibody, and an immune checkpoint molecule.
- Combination trials with anti-PD1 antibodies against PD1 have also been attempted in clinical trials targeting multiple cancer types (Non-Patent Documents 8 and 9).
- Non-Patent Document 10 Further, in an experiment using a mouse tumor-bearing model, a synergistic antitumor effect has been confirmed when an anti-CTLA4 antibody and a plurality of chemotherapeutic agents are administered in combination (Non-patent Document 10).
- Non-patent Document 11 In cancer microenvironment, it is known that not only regulatory T cells but also exhausted T cells exist, and exhausted T cells not only have no cytotoxic activity (antitumor activity), It is known that it contributes to immunosuppression in the tumor (Non-patent Document 11).
- an antibody drug against an immune checkpoint molecule was thought to exhibit an antitumor effect by inhibiting the T cell inhibitory action of the immune checkpoint molecule.
- CTLA4 such as ipilimumab
- ADCC activity an antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity against CTLA4-expressing cells.
- Non-Patent Documents 12 and 13 anti-CTLA4 antibody having ADCC activity removes regulatory T cells in tumor and exhibits strong anti-tumor effect in mouse, but anti-CTLA4 antibody has lost ADCC activity by amino acid substitution could not remove the regulatory T cells in the tumor and could not exert antitumor effect.
- ADCC activity plays an important role in the anti-tumor effect of anti-CTLA4 antibody, and killing regulatory T cells by ADCC activity is an important mechanism of action.
- the ADCC activity by the antibody is exhibited when the Fc region binds to the Fc ⁇ receptor.
- ADCC activity can be enhanced by strengthening the binding to the Fc ⁇ receptor by replacing (modifying) an amino acid in the Fc region of an IgG1 antibody (Non-patent Document 14).
- the anti-CD19 antibody whose ADCC activity was enhanced by modification of the Fc region exhibited a stronger antitumor effect than the natural anti-CD19 antibody (Non-patent Document 14).
- CD4 + CD25high regulatory T cells increase with tumor stage in patients with gastric and esophageal cancers. Cancer immunology, immunotherapy: CII 55, 1064-1071, doi: 10.1007 / s00262-005-0092 ).

業者には当然に理解される。
(1-1)制御性T細胞を除去することによる抗CTLA4抗体の抗腫瘍効果
上述の背景技術に記載の通り、イピリムマブはエフェクターT細胞表面に発現するCTLA4によるエフェクターT細胞の活性化抑制を阻害することで抗腫瘍効果が発揮されていると考えられていたが、最近、CTLA4発現T細胞に対する抗体依存的細胞傷害活性(ADCC活性)も重要であることが報告され、腫瘍中の制御性T細胞の除去とADCC活性が抗CTLA4抗体の抗腫瘍効果の重要な作用機序であることが見出されている。
抗体の改良技術として、前述のADCC活性の増強や血中滞留性の延長、抗原に対する結合活性の向上、免疫原性リスクの低減が行われてきた。通常抗体は抗原の1つのエピトープを認識して結合することから、これらの改良技術を抗体に適用しても、ターゲットとなる抗原は1種類のみである。複数のターゲットを阻害する分子として、1分子で2種類以上の抗原と結合する抗体(二重特異性抗体という)が研究されている。二重特異性抗体は2種類以上の抗原と相互作用するため、2種類以上の抗原を1つの分子で中和する作用だけでなく、細胞傷害活性をもつ細胞とがん細胞をクロスリンクすることで抗腫瘍活性を高める作用がある。
