FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present application relates to novel molecules comprising binding domains to both VEGF and Ang2.

INTRODUCTION

[0003] Angiogenesis is implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of disorders including solid tumors, intraocular neovascular syndromes such as proliferative retinopathies or age- related macular degeneration (AMD), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis (Folkman, J., et al., J. Biol. Chem.267 (1992) 10931-10934; Klagsbrun, M., et al, Annu. Rev. Physiol.53 (1991) 217- 239; and Garner, A., Vascular Diseases, in: Pathobiology of Ocular Disease, A Dynamic Approach, Garner, A., and Klintworth, G. K. (eds.), 2nd edition, Marcel Dekker, New York (1994), pp. 1625- 1710). In the case of solid tumors, the neovascularization allows the tumor cells to acquire a growth advantage and proliferative autonomy compared to the normal cells. Accordingly, a correlation has been observed between density of microvessels in tumor sections and patient survival in a number of cancers (see, e.g., Weidner, N., et al, N Engl J Med. 324 (1991) 1-8; Horak, E.R., et al, Lancet 340 (1992) 1120-1124; and Macchiarini, P., et al, Lancet 340 (1992) 145-146).

[0004] Human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF/VEGF-A) is described in, e.g., Leung, D.W., et al, Science 246 (1989) 1306-9; Keck, P.J., et al, Science 246 (1989) 1309-12 and Connolly, D.T., et al, J. Biol. Chem. 264 (1989) 20017-24. The expression of VEGF is potentiated in response to hypoxia, by activated oncogenes, and by a variety of cytokines. VEGF

is involved in the regulation of normal and abnormal angiogenesis and neovascularization associated with tumors and intraocular disorders (Ferrara, N., et al, Endocr. Rev. 18 (1997) 4- 25; Berkman, R.A., et al, J. Clin. Invest.91 (1993) 153-159; Brown, L.F., et al, Human Pathol. 26 (1995) 86- 91; Brown, L.F., et al, Cancer Res. 53 (1993) 4727-4735; Mattern, J., et al, Brit. J. Cancer.73 (1996) 931-934; and Dvorak, H.F., et al, Am. J. Pathol.146 (1995) 1029-1039).

[0005] Deregulated VEGF expression contributes to the development of solid tumors by promoting tumor angiogenesis and to the etiology of several additional diseases that are characterized by abnormal angiogenesis (Kim, K. J., et al., 1993. Nature (London) 362, 841– 844; Millauer, B., et al., 1994. Nature (London) 367, 576–579). Consequently, inhibition of VEGF signaling abrogates the development of a wide variety of tumors.

[0006] In retinopathies, in which partial or general ischemia of the retina is accompanied by overexpression of VEGF and hyperproliferation of blood vessels, blindness can result (Aiello, L. P et al., 1994. N. Engl. J. Med.331, 1480–1487; Adamis, A. P., et al., , Am. J. Ophthalmol. 118, 445–450). Inhibition of VEGF expression in such disease states can treat or prevent resulting blindness.

[0007] Human angiopoietin-2 (ANG-2 or Ang-2 or Ang2) (alternatively abbreviated with ANGPT2 or ANG2) is described in Maisonpierre, P.C., et al, Science 277 (1997) 55-60 and Cheung,A.H., et al, Genomics 48 (1998) 389-91. Ang2 plays an important role in angiogenesis and its expression levels have been correlated with cancer and eye diseases (Gerald D et al., Cancer Res.2013, 73(6):1649-57; Watanabe et al., Am J Ophthalmol.2005, 139(3):476-81).

[0008] Dual antagonist RG7716 demonstrated superior efficacy than VEGF antagonist ranibizumab in a recent clinical trial. However, the reported dosage for RG7716 at 6 mg per dose was rather high considering the volume of administration to eye is typically low, e.g. 50 micoL). This could require a concentration of 120 mg/ml, a significant challenge for formulation development. A dual antagonist with stronger binding affinities to VEGF and/or Ang2 is needed. The present invention includes bi-specific molecules with enhanced binding ability and which result in a reduction in the severity of a disease in a patient treated with a molecule disclosed herein.

[0043] The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the subject matter described.

Ang-2 Antagonist Peptide

[0044] The fusion protein or chimeric molecule comprises an Ang-2 antagonist peptide component, which binds to Angiopoietin 2 (Ang-2) and inhibits the binding of Ang-2 to its receptor. One example of the peptide is called 2xCon4(C), as described in WO2004/092215A2 or WO03/05134A2. 2xCon4(C) has an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:1. Additional examples of Ang-2 binding peptides include but are not limited to: L-1-21, L1-7, L1- 10, and L1-15, as described in WO2004/092215A2. Examples of Ang-2 antagonist peptides are shown in SEQ ID NO: 8-14.

VEGF-Binding Moiety

[0045] The chimeric molecule further comprises a VEGF-binding moiety. In one embodiment, said VEGF-binding moiety is an anti-VEGF antibody, an anti-VEGF Fab, or an anti-VEGF scFv that inhibits the binding of VEGF to its receptors. One example of the VEGF antibody is bevacizumab, which has two heavy chains with amino acid sequence as shown as SEQ ID NO:1, and two light chains with amino acid sequence as shown as SEQ ID NO:2. Another example is ranibizumab, an anti-VEGF Fab. And a third example is Brolucizumab (RTH258), which is a humanized single-chain antibody fragment (scFv) against VEGF.

[0046] In another embodiment, said VEGF binding domain is a VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein which“traps” VEGF (herein, referred to as a“VEGF trap”) and competes with the naturally occurring VEGF cellular receptor to inhibit VEGF. One example of the VEGF- receptor Fc fusion protein is afilbercept, which has an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the VEGF-binding moiety comprises the six complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of Brolucizumab (RTH258), Ranibizumab or Bevacizumab. A number of CDR delineations are known in the art and are encompassed herein. A person of skill in the art can readily determine a CDR for a given delineation based on the sequence of the heavy or light chain variable region. The“Kabat” Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) are based on sequence variability and are the most commonly used (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)).“Chothia” CDRs refer to the location of the structural loops (Chothia & Lesk, Canonical structures for the hypervariable regions of immunoglobulins, J. Mol. Biol., vol. 196, pp.901-917 (1987)). The“AbM” CDRs represent a compromise between the Kabat CDRs and Chothia structural loops, and are used by Oxford Molecular’s AbM antibody modeling software. The“Contact” CDRs are based on an analysis of the available complex crystal structures. The residues from each of these CDRs are noted below in Table 1, in reference to common antibody numbering schemes. Unless otherwise specified herein, amino acid number of antibodies refers to the Kabat numbering scheme as described in Kabat et al., supra, including when CDR delineations are made in reference to Kabat, Chothia, AbM, or Contact schemes. Using this numbering system, the actual linear amino acid sequence may contain fewer or additional amino acids corresponding to a shortening of, or insertion into, a framework region (FR) or CDR of the variable domain. For example, a heavy-chain variable domain may include a single amino acid insert (residue 52a according to Kabat) after residue 52 of H2 and inserted residues (e.g. residues 82a, 82b, and 82c, etc. according to Kabat) after heavy-chain FR residue 82. The Kabat numbering of residues may be determined for a given antibody by alignment at regions of homology of the sequence of the antibody with a“standard” Kabat numbered sequence.

Table 1: CDR Delineations According to Various Schemes

[0048] In some embodiments, the CDRs are“extended CDRs,” and encompass a region that begins or terminates according to a different scheme. For example, an extended CDR can be as follows: L24—L36, L26—L34, or L26—L36 (VL-CDR1); L46—L52, L46—L56, or L50—L55 (VL-CDR2); L91—L97 (VL-CDR3); H47—H55, H47—H65, H50—H55, H53—H58, or H53—H65 (VH-CDR2); and/or H93—H102 (VH-CDR3).

Ang-2 antagonist peptide - VEGF-Binding Moiety Fusion Protein

[0049] The Ang-2 peptide can be linked or fused to either the C- or N- terminus of the VEGF antibody (e.g., either the heavy or the light chains) or the VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein. The Fc portion of the VEGF receptor-Fc fusion protein may be located at either the C- or N-terminus of the VEGF receptor protein. The Fc portion is further defined herein.

[0050] The present compositions include“Fc fragments” or“Fc regions.” The term“Fc fragment” or "immunoglobulin Fc region" as used herein, refers to a protein that contains at least the heavy-chain constant region 2 (CH2) and the heavy-chain constant region 3 (CH3) of an immunoglobulin. In one embodiment, the Fc region excludes the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, the heavy-chain constant region 1 (CH1) and the light-chain constant region 1 (CL1) of the immunoglobulin. The Fc region may further include a hinge region at the heavy- chain constant region. Also, the immunoglobulin Fc region disclosed herein may contain a part

or all of the Fc region including the heavy-chain constant region 1 (CH1) and/or the light-chain constant region 1 (CL1), except for the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, as long as it has a physiological function substantially similar to or better than the native protein. Also, the immunoglobulin Fc region may be a fragment having a deletion in a relatively long portion of the amino acid sequence of CH2 and/or CH3. That is, the immunoglobulin Fc region disclosed herein may comprise 1) a CH1 domain, a CH2 domain, a CH3 domain and a CH4 domain, 2) a CH1 domain and a CH2 domain, 3) a CH1 domain and a CH3 domain, 4) a CH2 domain and a CH3 domain, 5) a combination of one or more domains and an immunoglobulin hinge region (or a portion of the hinge region), and 6) a dimer of each domain of the heavy-chain constant regions and the light-chain constant region.

[0051] The immunoglobulin Fc region disclosed herein includes a native amino acid sequence, or a sequence analogue thereof. An amino acid sequence analogue is a sequence that is different from the native amino acid sequence due to a deletion, an insertion, a non- conservative or conservative substitution or combinations thereof of one or more amino acid residues.

[0052] Also, other various analogues are possible, including one in which a region capable of forming a disulfide bond is deleted, or certain amino acid residues are eliminated at the N- terminal end of a native Fc form or a methionine residue is added thereto. Further, to remove effector functions, a deletion may occur in a complement-binding site, such as a C1q-binding site and an ADCC (antibody dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity) site. Techniques of preparing such sequence analogues of the immunoglobulin Fc region are disclosed in WO 1997/034631 and WO 1996/032478.

[0053] The aforementioned Fc analogues are analogues that have a biological activity identical to the Fc region disclosed herein or improved structural stability, for example, against heat, pH, or the like.

[0054] In addition, these Fc regions may be obtained from native forms isolated from humans and other animals including cows, goats, pigs, mice, rabbits, hamsters, rats and guinea pigs, or may be recombinants or analogues thereof, obtained from transformed animal cells or microorganisms. Herein, they may be obtained from a native immunoglobulin by isolating whole immunoglobulins from human or animal organisms and treating them with a proteolytic enzyme.

Papain digests the native immunoglobulin into Fab and Fc regions, and pepsin treatment results in the production of pF'c and F(ab)2 fragments. These fragments may be subjected, for example, to size exclusion chromatography to isolate Fc or pF'c. In another embodiment, a human-derived Fc region is a recombinant immunoglobulin Fc region that is obtained from a microorganism.

[0055] In one embodiment, the Fc region, if desired, may be modified by phosphorylation, sulfation, acrylation, glycosylation, methylation, farnesylation, acetylation, amidation, and the like. In one embodiment, the immunoglobulin Fc region disclosed herein may be in the form of having native sugar chains, increased sugar chains compared to a native form or decreased sugar chains compared to the native form, or may be in a deglycosylated form. The increase, decrease or removal of the immunoglobulin Fc sugar chains may be achieved by methods common in the art, such as a chemical method, an enzymatic method and a genetic engineering method using a microorganism. The removal of sugar chains from an Fc region results in a sharp decrease in binding affinity to the C1q part of the first complement component C1 and a decrease or loss in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity or complement-dependent cytotoxicity, thereby not inducing unnecessary immune responses in-vivo. In this regard, an immunoglobulin Fc region in a deglycosylated or aglycosylated form may be more suitable as a drug carrier.

[0056] As used herein, the term "deglycosylation" refers to enzymatically removing sugar moieties from an Fc region, and the term "aglycosylation" means that an Fc region is produced in an unglycosylated form by a prokaryote, preferably E. coli.

[0057] In one embodiment, the immunoglobulin Fc region may be an Fc region that is derived from IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE and IgM, or that is made by combinations thereof or hybrids thereof. In an embodiment, it is derived from IgG or IgM, which are among the most abundant proteins in human blood, and further, wherein an IgG, which is known to enhance the half-lives of ligand-binding proteins is an IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and/or IgG3.

[0058] The terms "polypeptide," "peptide" and "protein" are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymer of amino acid residues. The terms apply to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acid residue is an artificial chemical mimetic of a corresponding naturally occurring amino acid, as well as to naturally occurring amino acid polymers and non-naturally occurring amino acid polymer. Methods for obtaining (e.g., producing, isolating, purifying,

synthesizing, and recombinantly manufacturing) polypeptides are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

[0059] Pharmaceutical compositions of the chimeric molecules are prepared by mixing the antibody fusion molecules or the antibody fusion molecule drug conjugate having the desired degree of purity with one or more optional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 16th edition, Osol, A. Ed. (1980)), in the form of lyophilized formulations or aqueous solutions. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are generally nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include, but are not limited to: buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride; benzethonium chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-cresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g. Zn-protein complexes); and/or non-ionic surfactants such as polyethylene glycol (PEG).

[0060] Buffers are used to control the pH in a range which optimizes the therapeutic effectiveness, especially if stability is pH dependent. Buffers are preferably present at concentrations ranging from about 50 mM to about 250 mM. Suitable buffering agents for use with the present invention include both organic and inorganic acids and salts thereof, such as citrate, phosphate, succinate, tartrate, fumarate, gluconate, oxalate, lactate, acetate. Additionally, buffers may comprise histidine and trimethylamine salts such as Tris.

[0061] Preservatives are added to retard microbial growth, and are typically present in a range from 0.2% - 1.0% (w/v). Suitable preservatives for use with the present invention include octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium halides (e.g., chloride, bromide, iodide), benzethonium chloride; thimerosal, phenol, butyl or benzyl

alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol, 3- pentanol, and m-cresol.

[0062] Tonicity agents, sometimes known as“stabilizers” are present to adjust or maintain the tonicity of liquid in a composition. When used with large, charged biomolecules such as proteins and antibodies, they are often termed“stabilizers” because they can interact with the charged groups of the amino acid side chains, thereby lessening the potential for inter- and intra- molecular interactions. Tonicity agents can be present in any amount between 0.1% to 25% by weight, or more preferably between 1% to 5% by weight, taking into account the relative amounts of the other ingredients. Preferred tonicity agents include polyhydric sugar alcohols, preferably trihydric or higher sugar alcohols, such as glycerin, erythritol, arabitol, xylitol, sorbitol and mannitol.

[0063] Non-ionic surfactants or detergents (also known as“wetting agents”) are present to help solubilize the therapeutic agent as well as to protect the therapeutic protein against agitation- induced aggregation, which also permits the formulation to be exposed to shear surface stress without causing denaturation of the active therapeutic protein or antibody. Non-ionic surfactants are present in a range of about 0.05 mg/ml to about 1.0 mg/ml, preferably about 0.07 mg/ml to about 0.2 mg/ml.

[0064] Suitable non-ionic surfactants include polysorbates (20, 40, 60, 65, 80, etc.), polyoxamers (184, 188, etc.), PLURONIC® polyols, TRITON®, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoethers (TWEEN®-20, TWEEN®-80, etc.), lauromacrogol 400, polyoxyl 40 stearate, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil 10, 50 and 60, glycerol monostearate, sucrose fatty acid ester, methyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose. Anionic detergents that can be used include sodium lauryl sulfate, dioctyle sodium sulfosuccinate and dioctyl sodium sulfonate. Cationic detergents include benzalkonium chloride or benzethonium chloride.

EXAMPLES

[0084] Example 1– Production of the Chimeric Molecule Comprising VEGF Antibody and Ang-2 Binding Peptide in HEK293 Cells

[0085] Chimeric molecules named AMD A, B, C, D and E (see Table 2) were expressed through transient expression by HEK-293 cells. Briefly, DNAs (SEQ ID NOs: 58, 59, 60 and 63) for the fusion proteins comprising VEGF antibody light chain with or without Ang2 binding peptides and DNAs (SEQ ID NOs: 57, 61 and 62) for the fusion proteins comprising VEGF antibody heavy chain with Ang2 binding peptides were synthesized and cloned into expression vectors. The complete expression constructs comprising the genes were confirmed by DNA sequencing. DNA constructs were transformed into E. coli DH5alfa competent cells

(Invitrogen). Single clone was selected and cultured in LB broth with antibiotics (kanamycin, 25 ug/mL). DNA plasmids were extracted with Qiagen Plasmid Maxi Kit (Qiagen) following manufacture’s protocol. Plasmid concentration was measured by NanoDrop (Thermo Fisher). The expression plasmid constructs containing the DNA sequences encoding the genes of interest, were introduced into HEK-293 cells transiently by using polyethylenimine (PEI). The transfected cells were treated by alproic acid (VPA) 24 hours post transfection to enhance protein expression.

when the peptides were screened and in the subsequent peptibody (Peptide-Fc fusion) molecules.

[0086] After approximately 6 days of culturing, the cell culture media were harvested by clarifying centrifugation at 9000 rpm for 30-60 minutes followed by filtration through 0.22 micrometer filters. The clarified supernants were loaded to a Protein A affinity column and the chimeric molecules (AMD-A, B, C, D and E) were purified. The chimeric molecules were eluted using 2 M arginine solution, pH 4 from the protein A column. Figure 1 shows a representative chromatograph of the Protein A column step. Table 3 summarizes the results from the purification of the chimeric molecules. As shown in Table 3, chimeric molecules containing a total of 2 copies L1-15 peptides (AMD-B and AMD-D), both fused to the N-terminals of the heavy chain, had significantly higher expression levels comparing to the ones with a total of four copies of L1-15 peptides (AMD-A and AMD-C), wherein there is one each of L1-15 peptide fused to the N-terminals of both the light chains and the heavy chains of the antibody. With or without the flanking sequence LE as part of the L1-15 peptide did not appear to affect the expression of the chimeric molecules.

[0087] The expression level of AMD-E was comparable to that of AMD-B and AMD-D (Table 3). AMD-E has one Peptide 2xCon4(C) fused to each of the C-terminus of the heavy chains of Bevacizumab. The purity of the products were analyzed using SDS electrophoresis and/or HPLC methods.

Example 2– Production of the Chimeric Molecule Comprising VEGF Trap and Ang2 Binding

Peptide in CHO Cells

[0088] DNA for the chimeric molecule comprising the VEGF Receptor-Fc fusion protein (VEGF Trap) and the Ang-2 binding peptide (SEQ ID NO: 64, named as ASKB-E06) is synthesized and cloned into an expression vector. The complete expression construct comprising the DNA gene is confirmed by DNA sequencing. The expression construct is amplified by transforming into DH10B E. coli and culturing the cells overnight. DNA for the expression construct was prepared and purified by endo-free plasmid kit (from QIAGEN^®).

[0089] Cell lines stably expressing ASKB-E06 is obtained by transfecting the expression construct into GS^-/- Chinese hamster ovarian cells (CHO) by electroporation and screening for transfected CHO cells using a selective culture medium without glutamine (EX-CELL^® CD CHO Fusion Growth Medium). In this manner 32 or more stable minipools are established and the leading mini-pool is selected based on expression level in batch and fed-batch cultures. The expression levels are detected by ELISA titer assay. Single cloning is performed by limited dilution and using clone media, two leading single clones out of more than100 positive clones are selected based on productivity and cell growth in batch and fed-batch culture. The lead clones are expanded and seeded at 0.5x10⁶ cells/mL, total 300 mL in 2L shake flasks, and the cells are cultured at 37^oC, 5% CO₂, 70% HMR conditions and shaking at 120 rpm. The cultures are fed by using 5% Acti CHO^® Feed A + 0.5% Feed B (from GE Health) on Day 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The cell viability, viable cell density are monitored every other day, the cultures are harvested on Day 11-13.

[0090] The cell culture medium is harvested by clarifying approximately 600 mL of the cultured cell medium through centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes followed by filtration. The clarified supernant is loaded to a Protein A affinity column and the chimeric molecule is purified. The protein is further purified using ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, hydroxyapatite chromatography, and/or mixed mode chromatography. The product is further concentrated and buffer exchanged using UFDF and further formulated. The purity of the product is analyzed using CE-SDS and HPLC methods.

Example 3– Molecular Assays to Evaluate Dual Antagonist Activities of the Chimeric

Molecules

[0091] Molecular assays (Octet Binding Affinity, Affinity ELISA, and Blocking ELISA) were developed to assess direct binding of the chimeric molecules to ANG-1, Ang-2 and/or VEGF, and the effect of the chimeric molecules on the Ang1:Tie-2 interaction, Ang-2:Tie-2 interaction and/or VEGF:VEGF receptor interaction. These in vitro assays are described as the following: Octet Affinity

[0092] Purified recombinant human VEGF protein was ordered from Life-Technologies (Cat.# PHC9391 ). Human Ang1 or Ang2 protein were ordered from R&D System. Analysis was carried out using Octet Red96 from Pall ForteBio. Using anti-human IgG Fc sensors, a sample of chimeric molecule AMD-B, AMD-D, AMD-E or the control antibody Bevacizumab was loaded for 300 seconds at 3ug/mL in the kinetics buffer. Ligands ANG1, ANG2, or VEGF samples were associated for 300 seconds using a dilution series starting at 5 or 10 ug/mL and sequentially diluting 2-fold for 7 wells. Dissociation was run for 600 seconds. Data was analyzed using a 1:1 model with global fit. A representative binding kinetics graph is shown in Figure 2. The binding affinity results are summarized in Tables 4A, 4B and 4C. The results showed that the chimeric molecules AMD-B, AMD-D, and AMD-E were able to bind to Ang1, Ang2, and VEGF. It was also noticed that the chimeric molecule AMD-B with four L1-15 peptides fused to the N-terminals of the antibody had reduced affinity to VEGF when comparing to the control antibody Bevacizumab. AMD-D and AMD-E showed comparable affinity to VEGF comparing to the control antibody ASKB1202, a biosimilar m An internal control, ASKB 1202, a biosimilar to Bevacizumab developed in-house.

Table 4C. Summary of the Octet Affinity analysis results– Binding of VEGF.

[0093] Affinity ELISA: Purified recombinant human VEGF protein was ordered from Life- Technologies (Cat.# PHC9391 ). VEGF is reconstituted in BSA solution at 0.1 mg/mL as recommended by the manufacturer. Aliquots the samples were made and stored at -20 ^oC.

[0094] Using microtiter plates, approximately 100 microliters per well of VEGF is added to each well and the plates were incubated about 2 hours, after which the plates are washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing about 0.1 percent Tween-20 four times. The wells are then blocked using about 250 microliters per well of about 5 percent BSA in PBS, and the plates were incubated at room temperature for about 2 hours. After incubation, excess blocking solution is discarded, and about 100 microliters of AMD-A, B, C, D or E was added to a well in a dilution series starting at a concentration of about 40 nanomolar and then serially diluting 4- fold in PBS containing about 1 percent BSA. The plates were then incubated overnight at room temperature. After incubation, plates were washed with PBS containing about 0.1 percent Tween-20. Washing was repeated four additional times, after which about 100 microliters per well of goat anti-human IgG(Fc)-HRP (Pierce Chemical Co., catalog # 31416) previously diluted 1:5000 in PBS containing 1 percent BSA was added. Plates were incubated approximately 1 hour at room temperature. Plates were then washed five times in PBS containing about 0.1 percent Tween-20, after which about 100 microliters per well of TMB (3,3',5,5'- Tetramethylbenzidine Liquid Substrate System; Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO, catalog number T8665) substrate was added and plates are incubated about 5-15 minutes until blue color developed. Absorbance was then read in a spectrophotometer at about 450 nm.

[0095] Figure 3 shows the ELISA results of binding of VEGF to AMD-A, B, C, D, and E. An internal control, ASKB 1202, a biosimilar to Bevacizumab currently in development, was used as a positive control. The results showed that all the molecules AMD-A, B, C, D and E retained abilities to bind to VEGF. The EC-50 results are summarized in Table 5. The results showed that the AMD-B and AMD-D had VEGF binding affinity close to ASKB1202. In addition, AMD- B and AMD-D had stronger VEGF binding affinity than AMD-A and AMD-C.

Table 5. Affinity ELISA Results: Binding of VEGF to AMD-A, B, C, D and E.

Blocking ELISA:

[0096] The chimeric molecules were assessed in their abilities in blocking the binding of Ang1 and Ang2 to their receptor Tie-2. 96 well microtiter plate (Nunk) was coated with 100 uL final concentration 100 ng/mL of human Tie2-Fc (R&D System, 313-T1) diluted in 0.1 M carbonate (pH9.3) at 4 ^oC overnight. The plate was then blocked for 2 hours with 5% BSA in PBST (0.05% Tween 20). Purified chimeric molecule, at starting concentration of 1000 ng/mL, was serially diluted with dilution factor of three in PBS with 1% BSA. Human Ang1 or Ang2 protein (R&D System) was added to final concentration of 50 ng/mL and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The Chimeric molecule-Ang1 or Chimeric molecule-Ang2 mixture was then added into microtiter plate coated with human Tie2-Fc and incubate for another 1 hour at room temperature. 100 uL anti-Ang1 or anti-Ang2 monoclonal antibody (R&D System) was added into each well at final concentration of 1 ug/mL and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Horseradish-peroxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody was added at 1:5000 dilution and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature. Standard colorimetric response was developed by using TMB (Pierce). Absorbance was read at OD450 by spectrophotometer. Between each step, the plate was washed 5 time with 100 uL PBS.

[0097] The dose dependent inhibition or lack of inhibition of the binding of Ang1 and Ang-2 to receptor Tie-2 are shown in Figure 4. The IC-50 results are summarized in Table 6. The results showed that the chimeric molecules AMD-A, B, C, and D selectively inhibited the binding of Ang2 to Tie-2, with IC-50 in the range of 5-15 ng/ml; while their abilities in inhibiting the binding of Ang-1 to Tie-2 were very weak, if any, despite the fact that they all were able to bind to Ang1. The results also showed that AMD-A and AMD-C, both comprising 4 copies of the peptide L1-15 had lower IC-50 than AMD-B and AMD-D. AMD-E was able to inhibit the association of both Ang-1 and Ang-2 to their receptor Tie-2.

[0098] Figure 5 shows the inhibition of the binding of Ang-2 to Tie-2 by chimeric molecules 712-O and 712-O2. The chimeric molecule 712-O comprises two heavy chain polypeptide chains with an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 29 and two light chains with an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4. The chimeric molecule 712-O2 comprises

two heavy chain polypeptide chains with an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 31 and two light chains with an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4.

[0099] The Ang-2 antagonist peptide L1-15 is fused to the N-terminals of the heavy chains of a VEGF-binding antibody in the case of 712-O. In the case of 712-O2, L1-15 is fused to the C-terminals of the heavy chains. The IC-50’s for the Ang-2 blocking assay were approximately 33 pM for 712-O and approximately 78 pM for 712-O2. Since L1-15, together with other peptides including L1-7, L1-10 and L1-21, was considered an N-terminal fusion peptide and was only tested to be active when it is fused to the N-terminal of the Fc as described in WO2004/092215A2. It was surprised that the chimeric molecule 712-O2 was significantly potent with an IC-50 of approximately 78 pM.

Then, 10 ml of WST-1 solution was added thereto, followed by incubation at 37° C. for 4 hours. Absorbance is measured at 410 nm with a reference of 610 nm. The results are shown in Table 7, which indicated that 712-O had similar or higher potency than Lucentis®. It was more potent than ASKB1202 (a biosimilar of bevacizumab).

(2) Migration Inhibition of HUVEC by 712-O

[0102] After a bottom of Transwells, (Corning Inc., US) having a pore size of 8-mm is coated with 0.1% gelatin and mounted in a 24-well plate, a lower chamber is filled with 600 ml of EBM- 2 medium (Lonza), EBM-2 with VEGF-A (50 ng/ml), or EBM-2 with VEGF-A (50 ng/ml) and 712- O sample at different concentration. An upper chamber is provided with 100 ml of EBM-2 medium containing 1×10⁵ HUVEC. After incubation in 37° C. cell incubator for 4 hours, a filter is detached from the Transwell and cells are fixed with methanol for 1 minute and stained with Hematoxylin/Eosin. Cells which do not migrate but are left on an upper surface of the transwell are completely removed with a cotton swab. Five random fields among the cells migrated through the filter are arbitrarily chosen under an optical microscope (×100) and the number thereof is counted.

[0131] In closing, it is to be understood that although aspects of the present specification are highlighted by referring to specific embodiments, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate

that these disclosed embodiments are only illustrative of the principles of the subject matter disclosed herein. Therefore, it should be understood that the disclosed subject matter is in no way limited to a particular compound, composition, article, apparatus, methodology, protocol, and/or reagent, etc., described herein, unless expressly stated as such. In addition, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that certain changes, modifications, permutations, alterations, additions, subtractions and sub-combinations thereof can be made in accordance with the teachings herein without departing from the spirit of the present specification. It is therefore intended that the following appended claims and claims hereafter introduced are interpreted to include all such changes, modifications, permutations, alterations, additions, subtractions and sub-combinations as are within their true spirit and scope.

[0132] Certain embodiments of the present invention are described herein, including the best mode known to the inventors for carrying out the invention. Of course, variations on these described embodiments will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the foregoing description. The inventor expects skilled artisans to employ such variations as appropriate, and the inventors intend for the present invention to be practiced otherwise than specifically described herein. Accordingly, this invention includes all modifications and equivalents of the subject matter recited in the claims appended hereto as permitted by applicable law. Moreover, any combination of the above-described embodiments in all possible variations thereof is encompassed by the invention unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context.

[0133] Groupings of alternative embodiments, elements, or steps of the present invention are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member may be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other group members disclosed herein. It is anticipated that one or more members of a group may be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and/or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all Markush groups used in the appended claims.

[0134] Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing a characteristic, item, quantity, parameter, property, term, and so forth used in the present specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term“about.” As used herein, the term “about” means that the characteristic, item, quantity, parameter, property, or term so qualified encompasses a range of plus or minus ten percent above and below the value of the stated

characteristic, item, quantity, parameter, property, or term. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary. For instance, as mass spectrometry instruments can vary slightly in determining the mass of a given analyte, the term "about" in the context of the mass of an ion or the mass/charge ratio of an ion refers to +/-0.50 atomic mass unit. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical indication should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.

[0135] Use of the terms“may” or“can” in reference to an embodiment or aspect of an embodiment also carries with it the alternative meaning of“may not“ or“cannot.” As such, if the present specification discloses that an embodiment or an aspect of an embodiment may be or can be included as part of the inventive subject matter, then the negative limitation or exclusionary proviso is also explicitly meant, meaning that an embodiment or an aspect of an embodiment may not be or cannot be included as part of the inventive subject matter. In a similar manner, use of the term“optionally” in reference to an embodiment or aspect of an embodiment means that such embodiment or aspect of the embodiment may be included as part of the inventive subject matter or may not be included as part of the inventive subject matter. Whether such a negative limitation or exclusionary proviso applies will be based on whether the negative limitation or exclusionary proviso is recited in the claimed subject matter.

[0136] Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and values setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical ranges and values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical range or value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. Recitation of numerical ranges of values herein is merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate numerical value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each individual value of a numerical range is incorporated into the present specification as if it were individually recited herein.

[0137] The terms“a,”“an,”“the” and similar references used in the context of describing the present invention (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. Further, ordinal indicators– such as“first,”“second,”“third,” etc.– for identified elements are used to distinguish between the elements, and do not indicate or imply a required

or limited number of such elements, and do not indicate a particular position or order of such elements unless otherwise specifically stated. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g.,“such as”) provided herein is intended merely to better illuminate the present invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. No language in the present specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element essential to the practice of the invention.

[0138] When used in the claims, whether as filed or added per amendment, the open-ended transitional term“comprising” (and equivalent open-ended transitional phrases thereof like including, containing and having) encompasses all the expressly recited elements, limitations, steps and/or features alone or in combination with unrecited subject matter; the named elements, limitations and/or features are essential, but other unnamed elements, limitations and/or features may be added and still form a construct within the scope of the claim. Specific embodiments disclosed herein may be further limited in the claims using the closed-ended transitional phrases“consisting of” or“consisting essentially of” in lieu of or as an amended for “comprising.” When used in the claims, whether as filed or added per amendment, the closed- ended transitional phrase“consisting of” excludes any element, limitation, step, or feature not expressly recited in the claims. The closed-ended transitional phrase“consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the expressly recited elements, limitations, steps and/or features and any other elements, limitations, steps and/or features that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed subject matter. Thus, the meaning of the open-ended transitional phrase“comprising” is being defined as encompassing all the specifically recited elements, limitations, steps and/or features as well as any optional, additional unspecified ones. The meaning of the closed-ended transitional phrase“consisting of” is being defined as only including those elements, limitations, steps and/or features specifically recited in the claim whereas the meaning of the closed-ended transitional phrase“consisting essentially of” is being defined as only including those elements, limitations, steps and/or features specifically recited in the claim and those elements, limitations, steps and/or features that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed subject matter. Therefore, the open-ended transitional phrase“comprising” (and equivalent open-ended transitional phrases thereof) includes within its meaning, as a limiting case, claimed subject matter specified by the closed- ended transitional phrases“consisting of” or“consisting essentially of.” As such embodiments described herein or so claimed with the phrase“comprising” are expressly or inherently

unambiguously described, enabled and supported herein for the phrases“consisting essentially of” and“consisting of.”

[0139] All patents, patent publications, and other publications referenced and identified in the present specification are individually and expressly incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for the purpose of describing and disclosing, for example, the compositions and methodologies described in such publications that might be used in connection with the present invention. These publications are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing in this regard should be construed as an admission that the inventors are not entitled to antedate such disclosure by virtue of prior invention or for any other reason. All statements as to the date or representation as to the contents of these documents is based on the information available to the applicants and does not constitute any admission as to the correctness of the dates or contents of these documents.

[0140] Lastly, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined solely by the claims. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to that precisely as shown and described.
