Definitions

  • the present application generally relates to the field of biopharmaceuticals, in particular, the present application relates to novel anti-CD73 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, and pharmaceuticals for said antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof learning purposes.
  • CD73 is an extracellular-5'-nucleotidase encoded by the NT5E gene, which includes two parts, the N-terminal and the C-terminal, and is anchored to the outer surface of the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) to form a homodimer.
  • GPI glycosylphosphatidylinositol
  • CD73 is widely expressed on the surface of human endothelial cells, lymphocytes and other cells. It is highly expressed in various tumor tissues such as gastric cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer (such as triple-negative breast cancer), non-small cell adenocarcinoma, and indicates poor prognosis.
  • CD73 can hydrolyze extracellular adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine.
  • AMP extracellular adenosine monophosphate
  • Adenosine is a powerful immunosuppressive molecule that inhibits the function of protective immune cells (such as effector T cells, NK cells, DCs, and B cells) while maintaining regulatory immune cells (such as Treg, MDSC, TAM and CAF) to weaken anti-tumor immunity and participate in tumor immune escape.
  • protective immune cells such as effector T cells, NK cells, DCs, and B cells
  • regulatory immune cells such as Treg, MDSC, TAM and CAF
  • CD73 can also directly stimulate tumor cell proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor angiogenesis, and inhibition of extracellular nucleotidase CD73 can reverse adenosine-mediated immunosuppression. Studies have found that hypoxia, radiotherapy and chemotherapy lead to the upregulation of PDL1, CD73 and CD47 expression.
  • CD73 has the potential to be applied clinically as monotherapy or combination therapy.
  • Medimmune s oleclumab
  • I-Mab uliledlimab.
  • the fastest-growing CD73 antibody is in the third phase of clinical trials, and there is no marketed product. Therefore, the development and application of CD73 antibodies are urgently needed in this field.

  • the C-terminal part (SEQ ID NO.41) and the N-terminal part (SEQ ID NO.42) of the CD73 protein were respectively constructed, and the antibody recognition epitope was detected by ELISA method.
  • the CD73 N-terminal and C-terminal proteins were coated on the microplate at a concentration of 1 ⁇ g/ml, and the antibodies to be tested were serially diluted. The resulting affinity is shown in Figure 9A (N-terminal) and 9B (C-terminal).
  • the experimental results show that: compared with the control antibodies (MEDI9447 and Hu101-28), the binding epitopes of Hab7C3C.5 and Hab1F2F9.15 are different; Bind to the N-terminus of CD73 protein, and Hu101-28 binds to the C-terminus of CD73 protein.
  • the binding epitopes of Hab7C3C.5 and Hab1F2F9.15 of the present application are obviously different from those of MEDI9447 and Hu101-28.
  • the monotherapy efficacy of the 1F2F9 chimeric antibody was evaluated in a tumor xenograft model.
  • 4 ⁇ 106 A375 melanoma cells and 4 ⁇ 105 human PBMCs were mixed with Matrigel 1:1 and inoculated into NCG immunodeficient mice.
  • 30 mg/kg of 1F2F9 chimeric antibody or PBS control was injected intraperitoneally and every other day.
  • 24 days after treatment several mice had tumors that reached an upper limit (2000 mm 3 ). Day 24 after treatment therefore became the data endpoint for the analysis.
  • the mean tumor volume was 1448 ⁇ 176.76 mm 3 (mean ⁇ standard error) at 24 days of treatment.
  • human CD73/PD1/PDL1 knock-in BALB/c mice and CT26 cells (colon cancer cell line) overexpressing human CD73/PDL1 were used to evaluate Huab1F2F9.15, anti-PD-1 antibody and their combination efficacy.
  • 1 ⁇ 10 6 CT26-hCD73/hPDL1 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into genetic mice.
  • the day of grouping was defined as day D0, and administration began on the day of grouping.
  • the indicated doses of antibodies or PBS control were injected intraperitoneally twice a week.
  • the present application has obtained an antibody with high affinity that recognizes CD73 protein and CD73 at the cellular level.
  • the representative antibodies tested can potently inhibit the enzymatic activity of CD73, and at the same time induce the internalization of CD73 protein on tumor cells, and further reduce the enzymatic activity of CD73 by reducing the CD73 molecules on the cell surface, thereby achieving inhibition through multiple pathways Effect of CD73 enzymatic activity.
  • Epitope analysis shows that the exemplary antibody of the present application does not bind to either the N-terminal or the C-terminal protein of the CD73 protein alone, and has differential epitope binding characteristics from prior art antibodies such as MEDI9447 and Hu101-28.
