CD18 Antibody Application Blocks Unwanted Off-Target T Cell Activation Caused by Bispecific Antibodies.

ABSTRACT: T cell-recruiting bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) are successfully used for the treatment of cancer. However, effective treatment with bsAbs is so far hampered by severe side effects, i.e., potentially life-threatening cytokine release syndrome. Off-target T cell activation due to binding of bispecific CD3 antibodies to T cells in the absence of target cells may contribute to excessive cytokine release. We report here, in an in vitro setting, that off-target T cell activation is induced by bsAbs with high CD3 binding affinity and increased by endothelial- or lymphoid cells that act as stimulating bystander cells. Blocking antibodies directed against the adhesion molecules CD18/CD54 or CD2/CD58 markedly reduced this type of off-target T cell activation. CD18 blockade-in contrast to CD2-did not affect the therapeutic activity of various bsAbs. Since CD18 antibodies have been shown to be safely applicable in patients, blockade of this integrin holds promise as a potential target for the prevention of unwanted off-target T cell activation and allows the application of truly effective bsAb doses.

Bispecific Antibodies: From Research to Clinical Application.

Project description:Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are antibodies with two binding sites directed at two different antigens or two different epitopes on the same antigen. The clinical therapeutic effects of BsAbs are superior to those of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), with broad applications for tumor immunotherapy as well as for the treatment of other diseases. Recently, with progress in antibody or protein engineering and recombinant DNA technology, various platforms for generating different types of BsAbs based on novel strategies, for various uses, have been established. More than 30 mature commercial technology platforms have been used to create and develop BsAbs based on the heterologous recombination of heavy chains and matching of light chains. The detailed mechanisms of clinical/therapeutic action have been demonstrated with these different types of BsAbs. Three kinds of BsAbs have received market approval, and more than 110 types of BsAbs are at various stages of clinical trials. In this paper, we elaborate on the classic platforms, mechanisms, and applications of BsAbs. We hope that this review can stimulate new ideas for the development of BsAbs and improve current clinical strategies.

Rational selection of building blocks for the assembly of bispecific antibodies.

Project description:Bispecific antibodies, engineered to recognize two targets simultaneously, demonstrate exceptional clinical potential for the therapeutic intervention of complex diseases. However, these molecules are often composed of multiple polypeptide chains of differing sequences. To meet industrial scale productivity, enforcing the correct quaternary assembly of these chains is critical. Here, we describe Chain Selectivity Assessment (CSA), a high-throughput method to rationally select parental monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to make bispecific antibodies requiring correct heavy/light chain pairing. By deploying CSA, we have successfully identified mAbs that exhibit a native preference toward cognate chain pairing that enables the production of hetero-IgGs without additional engineering. Furthermore, CSA also identified rare light chains (LCs) that permit positive binding of the non-cognate arm in the common LC hetero-IgGs, also without engineering. This rational selection of parental mAbs with favorable developability characteristics is critical to the successful development of bispecific molecules with optimal manufacturability properties.

Identification of anti-CD16a single domain antibodies and their application in bispecific antibodies.

Project description:CD16a (FcγRIIIa) mediates the antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and is important for anti-tumor activities of many therapeutic antibodies. Bispecific antibody targeting natural killer (NK) cells has been studied for cancer therapy. In this work, anti-CD16a single-domain antibodies were identified from hCD16a immunized camel. Bispecific antibodies are then constructed by fusing these single domain antibodies with an anti-CEA single domain antibody. These bispecific antibodies can recruite NK cells to kill CEA-positive tumor cells, and inhibit tumor growth in vivo, suggesting that these anti-CD16a single domain antibodies are powerful tools to engaging NK cells for cancer therapy.

Bispecific Antibodies and Antibody-Drug Conjugates for Cancer Therapy: Technological Considerations.

Project description:The ability of monoclonal antibodies to specifically bind a target antigen and neutralize or stimulate its activity is the basis for the rapid growth and development of the therapeutic antibody field. In recent years, traditional immunoglobulin antibodies have been further engineered for better efficacy and safety, and technological developments in the field enabled the design and production of engineered antibodies capable of mediating therapeutic functions hitherto unattainable by conventional antibody formats. Representative of this newer generation of therapeutic antibody formats are bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates, each with several approved drugs and dozens more in the clinical development phase. In this review, the technological principles and challenges of bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates are discussed, with emphasis on clinically validated formats but also including recent developments in the fields, many of which are expected to significantly augment the current therapeutic arsenal against cancer and other diseases with unmet medical needs.

Ten years in the making: application of CrossMab technology for the development of therapeutic bispecific antibodies and antibody fusion proteins.

Project description:Bispecific antibodies have recently attracted intense interest. CrossMab technology was described in 2011 as novel approach enabling correct antibody light-chain association with their respective heavy chain in bispecific antibodies, together with methods enabling correct heavy-chain association using existing pairs of antibodies. Since the original description, CrossMab technology has evolved in the past decade into one of the most mature, versatile, and broadly applied technologies in the field, and nearly 20 bispecific antibodies based on CrossMab technology developed by Roche and others have entered clinical trials. The most advanced of these are the Ang-2/VEGF bispecific antibody faricimab, currently undergoing regulatory review, and the CD20/CD3 T cell bispecific antibody glofitamab, currently in pivotal Phase 3 trials. In this review, we introduce the principles of CrossMab technology, including its application for the generation of bi-/multispecific antibodies with different geometries and mechanisms of action, and provide an overview of CrossMab-based therapeutics in clinical trials.

The application of mathematical modelling to the design of bispecific monoclonal antibodies.

Project description:Targeting multiple receptors with bispecific antibodies is a novel approach that may prevent the development of resistance to cancer treatments. Despite the initial promise, full clinical benefit of this technology has yet to be realized. We hypothesized that in order to optimally exploit bispecific antibody technology, thorough fundamental knowledge of their pharmacological properties compared to that of single agent combinations was needed. Therefore, we developed a mathematical model for the binding of bispecific antibodies to their targets that accounts for the spatial distribution of the binding receptors and the kinetics of binding, and is scalable for increasing valency. The model provided an adequate description of internal and literature-reported in vitro data on bispecific binding. Simulations of in vitro binding with the model indicated that bispecific antibodies are not always superior in their binding potency to combination of antibodies, and the affinity of bispecific arms must be optimized for maximum binding potency. Our results suggest that this tool can be used for the design and development of the next generation of anti-cancer bispecific compounds.

Heavy chain-only antibodies and tetravalent bispecific antibody neutralizing Staphylococcus aureus leukotoxins.

Project description:Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) is a pore-forming toxin associated with current outbreaks of community-associated methicillin-resistant strains and implicated directly in the pathophysiology of Staphylococcus aureus-related diseases. Humanized heavy chain-only antibodies (HCAb) were generated against S. aureus PVL from immunized transgenic mice to neutralize toxin activity. The active form of PVL consists of the two components, LukS-PV and LukF-PV, which induce osmotic lysis following pore formation in host defense cells. One anti-LukS-PV HCAb, three anti-LukF-PV HCAbs with affinities in the nanomolar range, and one engineered tetravalent bispecific HCAb were tested in vitro and in vivo, and all prevented toxin binding and pore formation. Anti-LukS-PV HCAb also binds to ?-hemolysin C (HlgC) and inhibits HlgC/HlgB pore formation. Experiments in vivo in a toxin-induced rabbit endophthalmitis model showed that these HCAbs inhibit inflammatory reactions and tissue destruction, with the tetravalent bispecific HCAb performing best. Our findings show the therapeutic potential of HCAbs, and in particular, bispecific antibodies.

Epitope mapping of anti-drug antibodies to a clinical candidate bispecific antibody.

Project description:Anti-drug antibodies (ADA) can limit the efficacy and safety of therapeutic antibodies. However, determining the exact nature of ADA interactions with the target drug via epitope mapping is challenging due to the polyclonal nature of the IgG response. Here, we demonstrate successful proof-of-concept for the application of hydroxyl radical footprinting (HRF)-mass spectrometry for epitope mapping of ADAs obtained from goats that were administered a knob-into-hole bispecific antibody (BsAb1). Subsequently, we performed epitope mapping of ADAs obtained from cynomolgus (cyno) monkeys that were administered BsAb1 as we described in a recently published paper. Herein, we provide the first data to demonstrate the feasibility of using HRF for ADA epitope mapping, and show that both goat and cyno-derived ADAs specifically target the complementary-determining regions in both arms of BsAb1, suggesting that the ADA epitopes on BsAb1 may be species-independent.

T Cell Bispecific Antibodies: An Antibody-Based Delivery System for Inducing Antitumor Immunity.

Project description:As a breakthrough immunotherapy, T cell bispecific antibodies (T-BsAbs) are a promising antibody therapy for various kinds of cancer. In general, T-BsAbs have dual-binding specificity to a tumor-associated antigen and a CD3 subunit forming a complex with the TCR. This enables T-BsAbs to crosslink tumor cells and T cells, inducing T cell activation and subsequent tumor cell death. Unlike immune checkpoint inhibitors, which release the brake of the immune system, T-BsAbs serve as an accelerator of T cells by stimulating their immune response via CD3 engagement. Therefore, they can actively redirect host immunity toward tumors, including T cell recruitment from the periphery to the tumor site and immunological synapse formation between tumor cells and T cells. Although the low immunogenicity of solid tumors increases the challenge of cancer immunotherapy, T-BsAbs capable of immune redirection can greatly benefit patients with such tumors. To investigate the detailed relationship between T-BsAbs delivery and their T cell redirection activity, it is necessary to determine how T-BsAbs deliver antitumor immunity to the tumor site and bring about tumor cell death. This review article discusses T-BsAb properties, specifically their pharmacokinetics, redirection of anticancer immunity, and local mechanism of action within tumor tissues, and discuss further challenges to expediting T-BsAb development.

Clinical trial update on bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and antibody-containing regimens for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Project description:The relapse rate remains high after chemotherapy for adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). With better molecular diagnosis and classification as well as better assessment for minimal residual disease, major progress in the treatment for refractory and/or relapsed ALL is being made. In addition to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL, immunotherapeutic agents, blinatumomab, inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, are changing the treatment paradigm for ALL. Blinatumomab and INO are being incorporated into induction chemotherapy regimens and combined with TKIs for ALL therapy. A novel low-intensity regimen, miniHCVD-INO-blinatumomab, appears to be less toxic and more effective than conventional intensive chemotherapy regimens. This review summarized new therapeutic researches of ALL and updated latest progress in clinical trials on bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and new regimens incorporating these novel antibodies.
