Application No.
16/243,020, titled Steroids and Antibody Conjugates Thereof, which was also
filed January 8, 2019.
The contents of each priority patent application are incorporated herein by
reference in their
entireties for all purposes.
FIELD
[0002] Provided herein are novel traceless linkers, and protein conjugates
thereof, and methods
for treating a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions including
administering compounds or
payloads via traceless linker-payloads, and protein conjugates thereof
BACKGROUND
[0003] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are antibodies that are covalently
linked to
biologically active small molecule drugs, often referred to as payloads, thus
combining the targeting
specificity of antibodies with the mode-of-action and potency of small
molecule drugs. The
therapeutic utility of ADC(s) has been validated in cancer treatment and is a
major ongoing focus
of study. ADCETRIS (bentruximab vedotin) and KADCYLA (ado-trastuzumab
emtansine) are
ADCs approved for the treatment of certain cancer types, and several other
ADCs are currently in
clinical development.
[0004] Glucocorticoids (GCs) are small molecule steroids that bind to
glucocorticoid receptors
(GRs) and are utilized in anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive therapies.
However, due to the
ubiquitous expression of glucocorticoid receptors in many cell types,
glucocorticoid treatments are
compromised by toxicities to most organ systems. Thus, there is need for both
novel glucocorticoids
as well as novel therapies that minimize the side effects arising from
glucocorticoid administration,
particularly those arising from activating glucocorticoid receptors in non-
target cells. The instant
disclosure provides solutions to the aforementioned needs as well as other
unmet needs in the field
to which the instant disclosure pertains. Included in the instant disclosure
are antibody-drug
conjugates comprising glucocorticoid payloads.

WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
[0005] Liver X Receptor (LXR) includes LXRa and LXR13 which are ligand-
dependent
transcription factors that control the expression of genes involved in
cholesterol, lipid and glucose
homeostasis, inflammation, and innate immunity. LXRa is highly expressed in
liver, intestine,
adipose tissue, and differentiated macrophages; and LXR13 is ubiquitously
expressed. LXRs have
various biological functions including (i) stimulating the expression of
cholesterol transporters, for
example, ABCA1 and ABCG1, both of which mediate cellular cholesterol efflux;
and (ii) negatively
regulating macrophage inflammatory gene expression via repression of NF-kB
activation. LXRs
have also been implicated in atherosclerosis, proliferative disorders,
neurodegeneratiye disorders,
and inflammation. The development of ADCs comprising LXR modulators would
allow for target-
specific modulation of LXR, thereby avoiding side-effects caused by off-target
modulation of LXR.
Furthermore, such ADCs would provide improved modulation of biological
targets, improved
bioavailability, and improved therapeutic window. Therefore, there is a
continuing need for
effective treatments of, for example, metabolic diseases using small molecule
ADCs of LXR
modulators.
[0006] Linkers covalently link the payload portion, e.g., small molecule
therapeutic agent of an
ADC to its antibody. A significant challenge in linker design is in finding
moieities that keep the
payload stably attached to the antibody during storage, formulation,
administration, and plasma
circulation in the patient, yet allow efficient release upon the antibody
binding its target, that allow
facile conjugation to the payload under synthesis conditions, and that allow
release of the intended
payload without alteration in structure. There is a continuing need for
linkers that possess these and
other attributes.
SUMMARY
[0007] Provided herein are novel traceless linkers, and protein conjugates
thereof, and methods
for treating a variety of diseases, disorders, and conditions including
administering compounds or
payloads via traceless linker-payloads, and protein conjugates thereof
Included herein are linkers
that bond with a hydroxyl group of a payload and allow release of the payload
under appropriate
conditions with its hydroxyl group intact.
[0008] Provided herein are compounds, compositions, and methods useful for
treating, for
example, inflammatory diseases and autoimmune disorders, or managing symptoms
of any diseases,
disorders, or conditions associated with the glucocorticoid receptor,
glucocorticoid binding, and/or

[0047] As
used herein, "binding agent" refers to any molecule, e.g., protein, antibody,
or
fragment thereof, capable of binding with specificity to a given binding
partner, e.g., antigen.
[0048] As
used herein, "linker" refers to a divalent, trivalent, or multivalent moiety
that
covalently links, or is capable of covalently linking (e.g., via a reactive
group), the binding agent to
one or more compounds described herein, for instance, payload compounds and
enhancement
agents.
[0049] As
used herein, "amide synthesis conditions" refers to reaction conditions
suitable to
effect the formation of an amide, e.g., by the reaction of a carboxylic acid,
activated carboxylic acid,
or acyl halide with an amine. In some examples, amide synthesis conditions
refers to reaction
conditions suitable to effect the formation of an amide bond between a
carboxylic acid and an amine.
In some of these examples, the carboxylic acid is first converted to an
activated carboxylic acid
before the activated carboxylic acid reacts with an amine to form an amide.
Suitable conditions to
effect the formation of an amide include, but are not limited to, those
utilizing reagents to effect the
reaction between a carboxylic acid and an amine, including, but not limited
to,

In some
examples, a carboxylic acid is first converted to an activated carboxylic
ester before treating the
activated carboxylic ester with an amine to form an amide bond. In certain
embodiments, the
carboxylic acid is treated with a reagent. The reagent activates the
carboxylic acid by deprotonating
the carboxylic acid and then forming a product complex with the deprotonated
carboxylic acid as a
result of nucleophilic attack by the deprotonated carboxylic acid onto the
protonated reagent. The
activated carboxylic esters for certain carboxylic acids are subsequently more
susceptible to
nucleophilic attack by an amine than the carboxylic acid is before it is
activated. This results in
amide bond formation. As such, the carboxylic acid is described as activated.
Exemplary reagents
include DCC and DIC.

In certain embodiments, more than one suitable azide and more than one
suitable alkyne can be
utilized within a synthetic scheme en route to a product, where each pair of
azide-alkyne can
participate in one or more independent click reactions to generate a mixture
of regioisomeric click
reaction products. For example, a person of skill will recognize that a first
suitable azide may
independently react with a first suitable alkyne, and a second suitable azide
may independently react
with a second suitable alkyne, en route to a product, resulting in the
generation of four possible click
reaction regioisomers or a mixture of the four possible click reaction
regioisomers.

Binding agents
[00175] Suitable binding agents for any of the conjugates provided in the
instant disclosure
include, but are not limited to, antibodies, lymphokines (e.g., IL-2 or IL-3),
hormones (e.g., insulin
and glucocorticoids), growth factors (e.g., EGF, transferrin, and fibronectin
type III), viral receptors,
interleukins, or any other cell binding or peptide binding molecules or
substances. Binding agents
also include, but are not limited to, ankyrin repeat proteins and interferons.
[00176] In some embodiments, the binding agent is an antibody or an antigen-
binding fragment
thereof The antibody can be in any form known to those of skill in the art.
The term "antibody," as
used herein, refers to any antigen-binding molecule or molecular complex
comprising at least one
complementarity determining region (CDR) that specifically binds to or
interacts with a particular
antigen. The term "antibody" includes immunoglobulin molecules comprising four
polypeptide
chains, two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by
disulfide bonds, as well
as multimers thereof (e.g., IgM). Each heavy chain comprises a heavy chain
variable region
(abbreviated herein as HCVR or VH) and a heavy chain constant region. The
heavy chain constant
region comprises three domains, CH1, CH2 and CH3. Each light chain comprises a
light chain
variable region (abbreviated herein as LCVR or VL) and a light chain constant
region. The light
chain constant region comprises one domain (CL1). The VH and VL regions can be
further subdivided
into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions
(CDRs), interspersed
with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each VH
and VL is composed
of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus
in the following
order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. In different embodiments of
disclosed herein,
the FRs of the antibodies (or antigen-binding portion thereof) suitable for
the compounds herein
may be identical to the human germline sequences, or may be naturally or
artificially modified. An
amino acid consensus sequence may be defined based on a side-by-side analysis
of two or more
CDRs. The term "antibody", as used herein, also includes antigen-binding
fragments of full
antibody molecules. The terms "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody,
"antigen-binding
fragment" of an antibody, and the like, as used herein, include any naturally
occurring,
enzymatically obtainable, synthetic, or genetically engineered polypeptide or
glycoprotein that
specifically binds an antigen to form a complex. Antigen-binding fragments of
an antibody may be
derived, e.g., from full antibody molecules using any suitable, standard
technique(s) such as
proteolytic digestion or recombinant genetic engineering technique(s)
involving the manipulation
141

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
and expression of DNA encoding antibody variable and optionally constant
domains. Such DNA is
known and/or is readily available from, e.g., commercial sources, DNA
libraries (including, e.g.,
phage-antibody libraries), or can be synthesized. The DNA may be sequenced and
manipulated
chemically or by using molecular biology techniques, for example, to arrange
one or more variable
and/or constant domains into a suitable configuration, or to introduce codons,
create cysteine
residues, modify, add or delete amino acids, etc. Non-limiting examples of
antigen-binding
fragments include: (i) Fab fragments; (ii) F(ab')2 fragments; (iii) Fd
fragments; (iv) Fv fragments;
(v) single-chain Fv (scFv) molecules; (vi) dAb fragments; and (vii) minimal
recognition units
consisting of the amino acid residues that mimic the hypervariable region of
an antibody (e.g., an
isolated CDR such as a CDR3 peptide), or a constrained FR3-CDR3-FR4 peptide.
Other
engineered molecules, such as domain-specific antibodies, single domain
antibodies, domain-
deleted antibodies, chimeric antibodies, CDR-grafted antibodies, diabodies,
triabodies, tetrabodies,
minibodies, nanobodies (e.g. monovalent nanobodies, bivalent nanobodies,
etc.), small modular
immunopharmaceuticals (SMIPs), and shark variable IgNAR domains, are also
encompassed within
the expression "antigen-binding fragment," as used herein. An antigen-binding
fragment of an
antibody will typically comprise at least one variable domain. The variable
domain may be of any
size or amino acid composition and will generally comprise at least one CDR
which is adjacent to
or in frame with one or more framework sequences. In antigen-binding fragments
having a VH
domain associated with a VL domain, the VH and VL domains may be situated
relative to one another
in any suitable arrangement. For example, the variable region may be dimeric
and contain VH-V11,
VH-VL, or VL-VL dimers. Alternatively, the antigen-binding fragment of an
antibody may contain
a monomeric VH or VL domain. In certain embodiments, an antigen-binding
fragment of an antibody
may contain at least one variable domain covalently linked to at least one
constant domain. Non-
limiting, exemplary configurations of variable and constant domains that may
be found within an
antigen-binding fragment of an antibody of the present invention include: (i)
VH-Cul; (ii) VH-CH2;
(iii) VH-CH3; (iv) VH-Cu1-Cu2; (v) VH-Cu1-CH2-CH3; (vi) VH-CH2-CH3; (vii) VH-
CL; (viii) VL-Cul;
(ix) VL-CH2; (x) VL-CH3; (xi) VL-CH 1 -CH2; (xii) VL-Cu1-CH2-Cu3; (xiii) VL-
CH2-Cu3; and (xiv)
VL-CL. In any configuration of variable and constant domains, including any of
the exemplary
configurations listed above, the variable and constant domains may be either
directly linked to one
another or may be linked by a full or partial hinge or linker region. A hinge
region may consist of
at least 2 (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, 60 or more) amino acids which result in a
flexible or semi-flexible
142

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
linkage between adjacent variable and/or constant domains in a single
polypeptide molecule. As
with full antibody molecules, antigen-binding fragments may be monospecific or
multispecific (e. g. ,
bispecific). A multispecific antigen-binding fragment of an antibody will
typically comprise at least
two different variable domains, wherein each variable domain is capable of
specifically binding to
a separate antigen or to a different epitope on the same antigen. Any
multispecific antibody format,
including the exemplary bispecific antibody formats disclosed herein, may be
adapted for use in the
context of an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody of the present
disclosure using routine
techniques available in the art. In certain embodiments described herein,
antibodies described herein
are human antibodies. The term "human antibody", as used herein, is intended
to include antibodies
having variable and constant regions derived from human germline
immunoglobulin sequences.
The human antibodies of the invention may include amino acid residues not
encoded by human
germline immunoglobulin sequences (e.g., mutations introduced by random or
site-specific
mutagenesis in vitro or by somatic mutation in vivo), for example, in the CDRs
and in particular
CDR3. However, the term "human antibody", as used herein, is not intended to
include antibodies
in which CDR sequences derived from the germline of another mammalian species,
such as a mouse,
have been grafted onto human framework sequences. The term "human antibody"
does not include
naturally occurring molecules that normally exist without modification or
human
intervention/manipulation, in a naturally occurring, unmodified living
organism. The antibodies of
the invention may, in some embodiments, be recombinant human antibodies. The
term
"recombinant human antibody", as used herein, is intended to include all human
antibodies that are
prepared, expressed, created, or isolated by recombinant means, such as
antibodies expressed using
a recombinant expression vector transfected into a host cell (described
further below), antibodies
isolated from a recombinant, combinatorial human antibody library (described
further below),
antibodies isolated from an animal (e.g., a mouse) that is transgenic for
human immunoglobulin
genes (see e.g., Taylor et al. (1992) Nucl. Acids Res. 20:6287-6295) or
antibodies prepared,
expressed, created, or isolated by any other means that involves splicing of
human immunoglobulin
gene sequences to other DNA sequences. Such recombinant human antibodies have
variable and
constant regions derived from human germline immunoglobulin sequences. In
certain
embodiments, however, such recombinant human antibodies are subjected to in
vitro mutagenesis
(or, when an animal transgenic for human Ig sequences is used, in vivo somatic
mutagenesis) and
thus the amino acid sequences of the VH and VL regions of the recombinant
antibodies are sequences
143

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
that, while derived from and related to human germline VH and VL sequences,
may not naturally
exist within the human antibody germline repertoire in vivo. Human antibodies
can exist in two
forms that are associated with hinge heterogeneity. In one form, an
immunoglobulin molecule
comprises a stable four chain construct of approximately 150-160 kDa in which
the dimers are held
together by an interchain heavy chain disulfide bond. In a second form, the
dimers are not linked
via inter-chain disulfide bonds and a molecule of about 75-80 kDa is formed
composed of a
covalently coupled light and heavy chain (half-antibody). These forms have
been extremely
difficult to separate, even after affinity purification. The frequency of
appearance of the second
form in various intact IgG isotypes is due to, but not limited to, structural
differences associated
with the hinge region isotype of the antibody. A single amino acid
substitution in the hinge region
of the human IgG4 hinge can significantly reduce the appearance of the second
form (Angal et al.
(1993) Molecular Immunology 30:105) to levels typically observed using a human
IgG1 hinge. The
instant disclosure encompasses antibodies having one or more mutations in the
hinge, CH2, or CH3
region which may be desirable, for example, in production, to improve the
yield of the desired
antibody form. The antibodies described herein may be isolated antibodies. An
"isolated antibody,"
as used herein, refers to an antibody that has been identified and separated
and/or recovered from at
least one component of its natural environment. For example, an antibody that
has been separated
or removed from at least one component of an organism, or from a tissue or
cell in which the
antibody naturally exists or is naturally produced, is an "isolated antibody"
for purposes of the
instant disclosure. An isolated antibody also includes an antibody in situ
within a recombinant cell.
Isolated antibodies are antibodies that have been subjected to at least one
purification or isolation
step. According to certain embodiments, an isolated antibody may be
substantially free of other
cellular material and/or chemicals. The antibodies used herein can comprise
one or more amino
acid substitutions, insertions, and/or deletions in the framework and/or CDR
regions of the heavy
and light chain variable domains as compared to the corresponding germline
sequences from which
the antibodies were derived. Such mutations can be readily ascertained by
comparing the amino
acid sequences disclosed herein to germline sequences available from, for
example, public antibody
sequence databases. The present invention includes antibodies, and antigen-
binding fragments
thereof, which are derived from any of the amino acid sequences disclosed
herein, wherein one or
more amino acids within one or more framework and/or CDR regions are mutated
to the
corresponding residue(s) of the germline sequence from which the antibody was
derived, or to the
144

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
corresponding residue(s) of another human germline sequence, or to a
conservative amino acid
substitution of the corresponding germline residue(s) (such sequence changes
are referred to herein
collectively as "germline mutations"). A person of ordinary skill in the art,
starting with the heavy
and light chain variable region sequences disclosed herein, can easily produce
numerous antibodies
and antigen-binding fragments which comprise one or more individual germline
mutations or
combinations thereof In certain embodiments, all of the framework and/or CDR
residues within
the VH and/or VL domains are mutated back to the residues found in the
original germline sequence
from which the antibody was derived. In other embodiments, only certain
residues are mutated back
to the original germline sequence, e.g., only the mutated residues found
within the first 8 amino
acids of FR1 or within the last 8 amino acids of FR4, or only the mutated
residues found within
CDR1, CDR2 or CDR3. In other embodiments, one or more of the framework and/or
CDR
residue(s) are mutated to the corresponding residue(s) of a different germline
sequence (i.e., a
germline sequence that is different from the germline sequence from which the
antibody was
originally derived). Furthermore, the antibodies of the present disclosure may
contain any
combination of two or more germline mutations within the framework and/or CDR
regions, e.g.,
wherein certain individual residues are mutated to the corresponding residue
of a particular germline
sequence while certain other residues that differ from the original germline
sequence are maintained
or are mutated to the corresponding residue of a different germline sequence.
Once obtained,
antibodies and antigen-binding fragments that contain one or more germline
mutations can be easily
tested for one or more desired property such as, improved binding specificity,
increased binding
affinity, improved or enhanced antagonistic or agonistic biological properties
(as the case may be),
reduced immunogenicity, etc. Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments obtained
in this general
manner are encompassed within the present disclosure. Antibodies useful for
the compounds herein
also include antibodies comprising variants of any of the HCVR, LCVR, and/or
CDR amino acid
sequences disclosed herein having one or more conservative substitutions. The
term "epitope" refers
to an antigenic determinant that interacts with a specific antigen-binding
site in the variable region
of an antibody molecule known as a paratope. A single antigen may have more
than one epitope.
Thus, different antibodies may bind to different areas on an antigen and may
have different
biological effects. Epitopes may be either conformational or linear. A
conformational epitope is
produced by spatially juxtaposed amino acids from different segments of the
linear polypeptide
chain. A linear epitope is one produced by adjacent amino acid residues in a
polypeptide chain. In
145

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
certain circumstance, an epitope may include moieties of saccharides,
phosphoryl groups, or
sulfonyl groups on the antigen.
[00177] In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a light chain. In
certain embodiments,
the light chain is a kappa light chain. In certain embodiments, the light
chain is a lambda light chain.
In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a heavy chain. In some
embodiments, the heavy
chain is an IgA. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is an IgD. In some
embodiments, the heavy

chain is an IgG2. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is an IgG3. In some
embodiments, the
heavy chain is an IgG4. In some embodiments, the heavy chain is an IgAl . In
some embodiments,
the heavy chain is an IgA2.
[00178] In some embodiments, the antibody is an antibody fragment. In some
embodiments, the
antibody fragment is an Fv fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody
fragment is a Fab
fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is a F(abr)2 fragment. In
some embodiments,
the antibody fragment is a Fab' fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody
fragment is an scFv
(sFv) fragment. In some embodiments, the antibody fragment is an scFv-Fc
fragment.
[00179] In some embodiments, the antibody is a monoclonal antibody. In some
embodiments,
the antibody is a polyclonal antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody is a
bispecific antibody
including a first antigen-binding domain (also referred to herein as "Dl"),
and a second antigen-
binding domain (also referred to herein as "D2").
[00180] As used herein, the expression "antigen-binding domain" means any
peptide,
polypeptide, nucleic acid molecule, scaffold-type molecule, peptide display
molecule, or
polypeptide-containing construct that is capable of specifically binding a
particular antigen of
interest (e.g., PRLR or STEAP2). The term "specifically binds" or the like, as
used herein, means
that the antigen-binding domain forms a complex with a particular antigen
characterized by a
dissociation constant (KD) of 1 IVI or less, and does not bind other
unrelated antigens under ordinary
test conditions. "Unrelated antigens" are proteins, peptides, or polypeptides
that have less than 95%
amino acid identity to one another.
[00181] Exemplary categories of antigen-binding domains that can be used in
the context of the
present disclosure include antibodies, antigen-binding portions of antibodies,
peptides that
146

CA 03125998 2021-07-07

molecules that specifically
interact with a particular antigen, proteins comprising a ligand-binding
portion of a receptor that
specifically binds a particular antigen, antigen-binding scaffolds (e.g.,
DARPins, HEAT repeat
proteins, ARM repeat proteins, tetratricopeptide repeat proteins, and other
scaffolds based on
naturally occurring repeat proteins, etc., [see, e.g., Boersma and Pluckthun,
2011, Cum Opin.
Biotechnol. 22:849-857, and references cited therein]), and aptamers or
portions thereof
[00182] Methods for determining whether two molecules specifically bind one
another are well
known in the art and include, for example, equilibrium dialysis, surface
plasmon resonance, and the

[00229] The binding agent linkers can be bonded to the binding agent, e.g.,
antibody or antigen-
binding molecule, through an attachment at a particular amino acid within the
antibody or antigen-
binding molecule. Exemplary amino acid attachments that can be used in the
context of this
embodiment of the disclosure include, e.g., lysine (see, e.g., US 5,208,020;
US 2010/0129314;
Hollander et al., Bioconjugate Chem., 2008, 19:358-361; WO 2005/089808; US
5,714,586; US
2013/0101546; and US 2012/0585592), cysteine (see, e.g., US 2007/0258987; WO
2013/055993;
WO 2013/055990; WO 2013/053873; WO 2013/053872; WO 2011/130598; US
2013/0101546;
and US 7,750,116), selenocysteine (see, e.g., WO 2008/122039; and Hofer et
al., Proc. Natl. Acad.
Sci., USA, 2008, 105:12451-12456), formyl glycine (see, e.g., Carrico et al.,
Nat. Chem. Biol.,
2007, 3:321-322; Agarwal et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 2013, /10:46-51,
and Rabuka et al.,
Nat. Protocols, 2012, 10:1052-1067), non-natural amino acids (see, e.g., WO
2013/068874, and
WO 2012/166559), and acidic amino acids (see, e.g., WO 2012/05982). Linkers
can also be
conjugated to an antigen-binding protein via attachment to carbohydrates (see,
e.g., US
2008/0305497, WO 2014/065661, and Ryan et al., Food & Agriculture Immunol.,
2001, /3:127-
130).
[00230] In some examples, the binding agent is an antibody or antigen binding
molecule, and
the antibody is bonded to the linker through a lysine residue. In some
embodiments, the antibody
or antigen binding molecule is bonded to the linker through a cysteine
residue.
[00231] Linkers can also be conjugated to one or more glutamine residues via
transglutaminase-
based chemo-enzymatic conjugation (see, e.g., Dennler et al., Bioconjugate
Chem. 2014, 25, 569-
578). For example, in the presence of transglutaminase, one or more glutamine
residues of an
antibody can be coupled to a primary amine compound. Primary amine compounds
include, e.g.,
payloads or linker-payloads, which directly provide antibody drug conjugates
via
166

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
transglutaminase-mediated coupling. Primary amine compounds also include
linkers and spacers
that are functionalized with reactive groups that can be subsequently reacted
with further
compounds towards the synthesis of antibody drug conjugates. Antibodies
comprising glutamine
residues can be isolated from natural sources or engineered to comprise one or
more glutamine
residues. Techniques for engineering glutamine residues into an antibody
polypeptide chain
(glutaminyl-modified antibodies or antigen binding molecules) are within the
skill of the
practitioners in the art. In certain embodiments, the antibody is
aglycosylated.
[00232] In certain embodiments, the antibody or a glutaminyl-modified antibody
or antigen
binding molecule comprises at least one glutamine residue in at least one
polypeptide chain
sequence. In certain embodiments, the antibody or a glutaminyl-modified
antibody or antigen
binding molecule comprises two heavy chain polypeptides, each with one Gln295
or Q295 residue.
In further embodiments, the antibody or a glutaminyl-modified antibody or
antigen binding
molecule comprises one or more glutamine residues at a site other than a heavy
chain 295. Included
herein are antibodies of this section bearing N297Q mutation(s) described
herein.
Primary Amine Compounds
[00233] In certain embodiments, primary amine compounds useful for the
transglutaminase
mediated coupling of an antibody (or antigen binding compound) comprising a
glutamine can be
any primary amine compound deemed useful by the practitioner of ordinary
skill. Generally, the
primary amine compound has the formula H2N-R, where R can be any group
compatible with the
antibody and reaction conditions. In certain embodiments, R is alkyl,
substituted alkyl, heteroalkyl,
or substituted heteroalkyl.
[00234] In some embodiments, the primary amine compound comprises a reactive
group or
protected reactive group. Useful reactive groups include azides, alkynes,
cycloalkynes, thiols,
alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, amides, hydrazides,
anilines, and amines. In
certain embodiments, the reactive group is selected from the group consisting
of azide, alkyne,
sulfhydryl, cycloalkyne, aldehyde, and carboxyl.
[00235] In certain embodiments, the primary amine compound is according to the
formula H2N-
LL-X, where LL is a divalent spacer and X is a reactive group or protected

Linkers
[00241] In certain embodiments, the linker L portion of the conjugates
described herein is a
moiety, for instance a divalent moiety, that covalently links a binding agent
to a payload compound
described herein. In other instances, the linker L is a trivalent or
multivalent moiety that covalently
links a binding agent to a payload compound described herein. Suitable linkers
may be found, for
example, in Antibody-Drug Conjugates and Immunotoxins; Phillips, G. L., Ed.;
Springer Verlag:
New York, 2013; Antibody-Drug Conjugates; Ducry, L., Ed.; Humana Press, 2013;
Antibody-
Drug Conjugates; Wang, J., Shen, W.-C., and Zaro, J. L., Eds.; Springer
International Publishing,
2015, the contents of each incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
In certain
embodiments, the linker L portion of the linker-payloads described herein is a
moiety covalently
linked to a payload compound described herein, capable of divalently and
covalently linking a
binding agent to a payload compound described herein. In other instances, the
linker L portion of
the linker-payloads described herein is a moiety covalently linked to a
payload compound
described herein, capable of covalently linking, as a trivalent or multivalent
moiety, a binding
agent to a payload compound described herein. Payload compounds include
compounds of
Formulae I, Ib, Ibb, and Ibbb above, and their residues following bonding or
incorporation with
linker L are linker-payload compounds. The linker-payloads can be further
bonded to binding
agents such as antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof to form
antibody-drug conjugates.
Those of skill in the art will recognize that certain functional groups of
payload moieties are
convenient for linking to linkers and/or binding agents. For example, in
certain embodiments, the
linker is absent and payloads are directly bonded to binding agents. In
certain embodiments,
prodrugs or payloads include hydroxyl, amine, or thiol functionality capable
of bonding with
peptide residues within binding agents.
[00242] In certain embodiments, the linkers are stable in physiological
conditions. In certain
embodiments, the linkers are cleavable, for instance, able to release at least
the payload portion in
the presence of an enzyme or at a particular pH range or value. In some
embodiments, a linker
comprises an enzyme-cleavable moiety. Illustrative enzyme-cleavable moieties
include, but are
not limited to, peptide bonds, ester linkages, hydrazones, and disulfide
linkages. In some
embodiments, the linker comprises a cathepsin-cleavable linker. In some
embodiments, the linker
comprises a moiety that is stable at certain pHs and cleavable to release the
payload portion at
170

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
other pHs. For instance, in certain embodiments, the linker is stable at
physiological pH and
capable of releasing the payload portion at a local pH in the vicinity of a
target.
[00243] In some embodiments, the linker comprises a non-cleavable moiety. In
some
embodiments, the non-cleavable linker is derived from maleimide. In some
embodiments, the non-
cleavable linkers are derived from an ester. In some embodiments, the non-
cleavable linker is
derived from an N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. In some embodiments, the non-
cleavable linker is

exemplary embodiment, the self-stabilizing linker manifests as NH2

the amide nitrogen to the payload, as shown, contemplates the remainder of the
linker. Without
being bound by any particular theory, the self-stabilizing linker includes
moieties that stabilize the
bond from the self-stabilizing linker to a binding agent. For example, in some
embodiments, when
the bond from a binding agent to a self-stabilizing linker is a carbon-sulfur
bond (e.g., following a
Michael addition of a binding agent cysteine to the self-stabilizing maleimide
linker), the self-
stabilizing linker mitigates retro-Michael additions. More specifically, in
the self-stabilizing

thus, decreasing susceptibility to retro-Michael additions. Moieties other
than aminomethyl within
self-stabilizing maleimide linkers that stablilize conjugates will be
appreciated by those of skill in
the art. In the structures,

binding agent
cysteines with one or more linkers or linker-payloads having maleimide
functionality via Michael
addition reactions. In the structures, in other examples,

from the reaction of, for example, one or more binding agent lysines with one
or more linkers or
linker-payloads having activated or unactivated carboxyl functionality, as
would be appreciated
by a person of skill in the art. In one embodiment, -1A- indicates an amide
bond which results from
the reaction of, for example, one or more binding agent lysines with one or
more linkers or linker-
payloads having activated carboxyl functionality, as would be appreciated by a
person of skill in
the art.
[00244] In some embodiments, suitable linkers include, but are not limited to,
those that are
chemically bonded to two cysteine residues of a single binding agent, e.g.,

[00298] Scheme J shows general conjugation of linker-payloads to antibodies or
antigen
binding fragments thereof Antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof are
modified via a
transglutaminase to incorporate a terminal azide useful for participation in
click chemistry with an
alkyne. Accordingly, suitbale linker-payloads are conjugated to the antibodies
or antigen binding
fragments thereof
[00299] The conjugates described herein can be synthesized by coupling the
linker-payloads
described herein with a binding agent, for example, an antibody under standard
conjugation
conditions (see, e.g., Doronina et al. Nature Biotechnology 2003, 21, 778,
which is incorporated
herein by reference in its entirety). When the binding agent is an antibody,
the antibody may be
coupled to a linker-payload via one or more cysteine or lysine residues of the
antibody. Linker-
payloads can be coupled to cysteine residues, for example, by subjecting the
antibody to a reducing
agent, for example, dithiotheritol, to cleave the disulfide bonds of the
antibody, purifying the
reduced antibody, for example, by gel filtration, and subsequently treating
the antibody with a
linker-payload containing a suitable reactive moiety, for example, a maleimido
group. Suitable
solvents include, but are not limited to water, DMA, DMF, and DMSO. Linker-
payloads
containing a reactive group, for example, an activated ester or acid halide
group, can be coupled
to lysine residues of the antibody. Suitable solvents include, but are not
limited to water, DMA,
DMF, and DMSO. Conjugates can be purified using known protein techniques,
including, for
example, size exclusion chromatography, dialysis, and
ultrafiltration/diafiltration.
275

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
[00300] Binding agents, for example antibodies, can also be conjugated via
click chemistry
reactions. In some embodiments of said click chemistry reactions, the linker-
payload includes a
reactive group, for example an alkyne, that is capable of undergoing a
regioisomeric
1,3-cycloaddition reaction with an azide. Such suitable reactive groups are
described above. The
antibody includes one or more azide groups. Such antibodies include antibodies
functionalized
with, for example, azido-polyethylene glycol groups. In certain embodiments,
such functionalized
antibody is derived by treating an antibody having at least one glutamine
residue, for example,
heavy chain Gln295, with a primary amine compound in the presence of the
enzyme
transglutaminase. In certain embodiments, such functionalized antibody is
derived by treating an
antibody having at least one glutamine residue, for example, heavy chain
Gln297, with a primary
amine compound in the presence of the enzyme transglutaminase. Such antibodies
include
Asn297Gln (N297Q) mutants. In certain embodiments, such functionalized
antibody is derived by
treating an antibody having at least two glutamine residues, for example,
heavy chain Gln295 and
heavy chain Gln297, with a primary amine compound in the presence of the
enzyme
transglutaminase. Such antibodies include Asn297Gln (N297Q) mutants. In
certain embodiments,
the antibody has two heavy chains as described in this paragraph for a total
of two or a total of four
glutamine residues.
[00301] In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises two glutamine residues,
one in each
heavy chain. In particular embodiments, the antibody comprises a Q295 residue
in each heavy
chain. In further embodiments, the antibody comprises one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight,
or more glutamine residues. These glutamine residues can be in heavy chains,
light chains, or in
both heavy chains and light chains. These glutamine residues can be
wild-type residues, or engineered residues. The antibodies can be prepared
according to standard
techniques.
[00302] Those of skill will recognize that antibodies are often glycosylated
at residue N297,
near residue Q295 in a heavy chain sequence. Glycosylation at residue N297 can
interfere with a
transglutaminase at residue Q295 (Dennler et al., supra). Accordingly, in
advantageous
embodiments, the antibody is not glycosylated. In certain embodiments, the
antibody is
deglycoslated or aglycosylated. In particular embodiments, an antibody heavy
chain has an N297
mutation. Alternatively stated, the antibody is mutated to no longer have an
asparagine residue at
position 297. In particular embodiments, an antibody heavy chain has an N297Q
mutation. Such
276

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
an antibody can be prepared by site-directed mutagenesis to remove or disable
a glycosylation
sequence or by site-directed mutagenesis to insert a glutamine residue at a
site apart from any
interfering glycosylation site or any other interfering structure. Such an
antibody also can be
isolated from natural or artificial sources.
[00303] The antibody without interfering glycosylation is then reacted or
treated with a primary
amine compound. In certain embodiments, an aglycosylated antibody is reacted
or treated with a
primary amine compound to produce a glutaminyl-modified antibody. In certain
embodiments, a
deglycosylated antibody is reacted or treated with a primary amine compound to
produce a
glutaminyl-modified antibody.
[00304] The primary amine can be any primary amine that is capable of forming
a covalent
bond with a glutamine residue in the presence of a transglutaminase. Useful
primary amines are
described herein. The transglutaminase can be any transglutaminase deemed
suitable by those of
skill in the art. In certain embodiments, the transglutaminase is an enzyme
that catalyzes the
formation of an isopeptide bond between a free amine group on the primary
amine compound and
the acyl group on the side chain of a glutamine residue. Transglutaminase is
also known as protein-
glutamine-y-glutamyltransferase. In particular embodiments, the
transglutaminase is classified as
EC 2.3.2.13. The transglutaminase can be from any source deemed suitable. In
certain
embodiments, the transglutaminase is microbial. Useful transglutaminases have
been isolated from
Streptomyces mobaraense, Streptomyces cinnamoneum, Streptomyces griseo-
carneum,
Streptomyces lavendulae, and Bacillus subtilis. Non-microbial
transglutaminases, including
mammalian transglutaminases, can also be used. In certain embodiments, the
transglutaminase can
be produced by any technique or obtained from any source deemed suitable by
the practitioner of
skill. In particular embodiments, the transglutaminase is obtained from a
commercial source.
[00305] In particular embodiments, the primary amine compound comprises a
reactive group
capable of further reaction after transglutamination. In these embodiments,
the glutaminyl-
modified antibody can be reacted or treated with a reactive payload compound
or a reactive linker-
payload compound to form an antibody-payload conjugate. In certain
embodiments, the primary
amine compound comprises an azide.
[00306] In certain embodiments, the glutaminyl-modified antibody is reacted or
treated with a
reactive linker-payload to form an antibody-payload conjugate. The reaction
can proceed under
277

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
conditions deemed suitable by those of skill in the art. In certain
embodiments, the glutaminyl-
modified antibody is contacted with the reactive linker-payload compound under
conditions
suitable for forming a bond between the glutaminyl-modified antibody and the
linker-payload
compound. Suitable reaction conditions are well known to those in the art.
Exemplary reactions
are provided in the Examples below. Accordingly, provided herein is a method
of preparing an
antibody-drug conjugate comprising contacting a binding agent, as described
herein, with a linker-
payload, also as described herein.

278

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
[00310] In some embodiments of the methods described herein, multiple doses of
a compound
described herein (or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a combination of
a compound
described herein and any of the additional therapeutic agents mentioned
herein) may be
administered to a subject over a defined time course. The methods according to
this embodiment
of the disclosure comprise sequentially administering to a subject multiple
doses of a compound
described herein. As used herein, "sequentially administering" means that each
dose of the
compound is administered to the subject at a different point in time, e.g., on
different days
separated by a predetermined interval (e.g., hours, days, weeks, or months).
The present disclosure
includes methods which comprise sequentially administering to the patient a
single initial dose of
a compound described herein, followed by one or more secondary doses of the
compound, and
optionally followed by one or more tertiary doses of the compound.
[00311] The terms "initial dose," "secondary doses," and "tertiary doses,"
refer to the temporal
sequence of administration of the compounds described herein. Thus, the
"initial dose" is the dose
which is administered at the beginning of the treatment regimen (also referred
to as the "baseline
dose"); the "secondary doses" are the doses which are administered after the
initial dose; and the
"tertiary doses" are the doses which are administered after the secondary
doses. The initial,
secondary, and tertiary doses can all include the same amount the compound
described herein, but
generally can differ from one another in terms of frequency of administration.
In certain
embodiments, the amount of the compound included in the initial, secondary
and/or tertiary doses
varies from one another (e.g., adjusted up or down as appropriate) during the
course of treatment.
In certain embodiments, two or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, or 5) doses are
administered at the beginning
of the treatment regimen as "loading doses" followed by subsequent doses that
are administered
on a less frequent basis (e.g., "maintenance doses").
[00312] In certain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, each
secondary and/or
tertiary dose is administered 1 to 26 (e.g., 1, P/2, 2, 2%2, 3, 3'/2, 4, 41/2,
5, 51/2, 6, 61/2, 7, 71/2, 8, 81/2,
9, 91/2, 10, 101/2, 11, 1P/2, 12, 121/2, 13, 131/2, 14, 141/2, 15, 151/2, 16,
161/2, 17, 171/2, 18, 181/2, 19,
191/2, 20, 201/2, 21, 211/2, 22, 221/2, 23, 231/2, 24, 241/2, 25, 251/2, 26,
261/2, or more) weeks after the
immediately preceding dose. The phrase "the immediately preceding dose," as
used herein, means,
in a sequence of multiple administrations, the dose the compound which is
administered to a patient
prior to the administration of the very next dose in the sequence with no
intervening doses.
279

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
[00313] The methods according to this embodiment of the disclosure may
comprise
administering to a patient any number of secondary and/or tertiary doses of
the compound. For
example, in certain embodiments, only a single secondary dose is administered
to the patient. In
other embodiments, two or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more) secondary
doses are administered
to the patient. Likewise, in certain embodiments, only a single tertiary dose
is administered to the
patient. In other embodiments, two or more (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or
more) tertiary doses are
administered to the patient. The administration regimen may be carried out
indefinitely over the
lifetime of a particular subject, or until such treatment is no longer
therapeutically needed or
advantageous.
[00314] In embodiments involving multiple secondary doses, each secondary dose
may be
administered at the same frequency as the other secondary doses. For example,
each secondary
dose may be administered to the patient 1 to 2 weeks or 1 to 2 months after
the immediately
preceding dose. Similarly, in embodiments involving multiple tertiary doses,
each tertiary dose
may be administered at the same frequency as the other tertiary doses. For
example, each tertiary
dose may be administered to the patient 2 to 12 weeks after the immediately
preceding dose. In
certain embodiments of the disclosure, the frequency at which the secondary
and/or tertiary doses
are administered to a patient can vary over the course of the treatment
regimen. The frequency of
administration may also be adjusted during the course of treatment by a
physician depending on
the needs of the individual patient following clinical examination.
[00315] The present disclosure includes administration regimens in which 2 to
6 loading doses
are administered to a patient at a first frequency (e.g., once a week, once
every two weeks, once
every three weeks, once a month, once every two months, etc.), followed by
administration of two
or more maintenance doses to the patient on a less frequent basis. For
example, according to this
embodiment of the disclosure, if the loading doses are administered at a
frequency of once a month,
then the maintenance doses may be administered to the patient once every six
weeks, once every
two months, once every three months, etc.
[00316] The present disclosure includes pharmaceutical compositions of the
compounds and/or
conjugates described herein, e.g., the compounds Formulae I, Ia, Iaa, Iaaa,

Synthesis of Intermediates 4
General Procedure A For Intermediates 4
[00351] To a mixture of peptide 3 (1.0 equiv.) in THF (30 mL per gram of 3)
and toluene (10
mL per gram of 3) were added pyridine (1.2 equiv.) and lead tetraacetate (1.2
equiv.). The resulting
mixture was stirred for 5 hours at 80 C, and monitored by LCMS. After cooling
to RT, the mixture
was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo or
directly diluted with
ethyl acetate. The organic solution was washed with water and brine, dried
over anhydrous sodium
sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel
column chromatography
(0-10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to give compound 4 (67-67% yield) as
a white solid.

General Procedure A For Payloads
[00363] A mixture of compound 4 (1 equiv.), corresponding alcohol (HOD* or
benzyl
glycolate) (1 equiv.) and PPTS (0.1 equiv.) in DCM (40 mL per gram of alcohol)
was added into
a 10 mL-sealed tube. The mixture was sealed and stirred at 50 C overnight,
and monitored by
LCMS. The resulting mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was
directly purified by
prep-HPLC to give Fmoc-P or intermediate 5a. Fmoc-P was dissolved in DMF (40
mM). To the
solution was added piperidine (4 equiv.), and the mixture was stirred at RT
for an hour until Fmoc
was totally removed, as monitored by LCMS. The reaction mixture was directly
purified by prep-
HPLC to give payload P (4.1-28% yield) as a white solid.
General Procedure B For Payloads
[00364] To a solution of compound 4 (1.0 equiv.) and corresponding alcohol
(HOD*) (1.0
equiv.) in THF (0.25 M) was added potassium tert-butoxide (2.0 equiv.) at 0
'C. The mixture was
stirred at RT for 3 hours until the concentration of Fmoc-P remained static,
as monitored by LCMS
(neither compound 4 nor alcohol was completely consumed). The reaction mixture
was diluted
with ethyl acetate and carefully quenched with water at 0 C. The aq. layer
was extracted with
ethyl acetate and chloroform. The organic layers were combined, dried over
anhydrous sodium
sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel
column chromatography
(25-70% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to give Fmoc-P (containing payload
P), which was
dissolved in DMF (40 mM). To the solution was added piperidine (4 equiv.), and
the mixture was

CA 03125998 2021-07-07
WO 2020/146541 PCT/US2020/012798
stirred at RT for 2 hours until Fmoc was totally removed, as monitored by
LCMS. The reaction
mixture was directly purified by prep-HPLC to give payload P (6.7-28% yield)
as a white solid.

To a solution of compound L-10b (9 mg, 5.5 ilmol) in dioxane (0.6 mL) and
water (0.2 mL) was
added lithium hydroxide (0.42 mg, 16.7 ilmol). The reaction mixture was
stirred at RT for 4 hours,
and monitored by LCMS. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was
purified by
prep-HPLC to give linker-payload L2-PIII-1 (3 mg, 32% yield) as a white solid.
