Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) comprises about 15% of all cases of lung cancer. In recent years, owing to a change in the epidemiology of smoking habits, the incidence of the tumor has decreased; however, it remains a significant challenge to global health. While the tumor has a favorable initial response to chemoradiation, relapse is invariable, and second-line regimens may be intolerable given the severity of side effects. For patients with tumors resistant to second-line regimens, no current standard regimens exist. Rovalpituzumab tesirine is a novel antibody-drug conjugate, targeting delta-like protein 3, fundamental in the downstream cellular signaling for proliferation and apoptosis. This drug is reported to have shown promise in pre-clinical and phase I trials. It appears effective in decreasing tumor burden and is reported to be well tolerated, albeit with a significant adverse effect profile. Currently, it is being studied as part of initial and subsequent line chemotherapeutic regimens; it remains to be seen if this is a viable option in the treatment of SCLC. This may add to the agents that can be used against SCLC, and help improve outcomes.

Project description:Multiple myeloma is incurable by standard approaches because of inevitable relapse and development of treatment resistance in all patients. In our prior work, we identified a panel of macropinocytosing human monoclonal antibodies against CD46, a negative regulator of the innate immune system, and constructed antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). In this report, we show that an anti-CD46 ADC (CD46-ADC) potently inhibited proliferation in myeloma cell lines with little effect on normal cells. CD46-ADC also potently eliminated myeloma growth in orthometastatic xenograft models. In primary myeloma cells derived from bone marrow aspirates, CD46-ADC induced apoptosis and cell death, but did not affect the viability of nontumor mononuclear cells. It is of clinical interest that the CD46 gene resides on chromosome 1q, which undergoes genomic amplification in the majority of relapsed myeloma patients. We found that the cell surface expression level of CD46 was markedly higher in patient myeloma cells with 1q gain than in those with normal 1q copy number. Thus, genomic amplification of CD46 may serve as a surrogate for target amplification that could allow patient stratification for tailored CD46-targeted therapy. Overall, these findings indicate that CD46 is a promising target for antibody-based treatment of multiple myeloma, especially in patients with gain of chromosome 1q.

Project description:Endoglin (EDG) is a cell surface protein with an important role in the establishment of neo-angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry. EDG is part of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family, acting as an important co-receptor. EDG is shed from the cell surface into the extracellular compartment by matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14), in its soluble form (sEDG). Both transmembrane and soluble forms of EDG exert important signaling functions in the development of new blood vessels and tumour progression. To better understand the role of EDG in Ewing sarcoma (ES), a deadly neoplasm of late childhood and adolescence, we test the efficacy of OMTX703, an endoglin-targeting antibody-drug conjugate in ES8 xenograft. Having determined an optimal dose for OMTX703, an additional experiment was conducted to assess the mechanism(s) of OMTX703 action and its potential mechanism(s) of resistance following a 2-week exposure to OMTX703 at 0, 10, 30, and 60 mg/kg; 246 proteins were assessed by reverse-phase protein array (RPPA). Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson’s correlation as distance metric and Ward’s linkage as the clustering method using a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.01, identified 60 proteins that discriminated between treatment groups (Matrix#1-Normalized Values). To investigate the proteomic changes associated with the heightened clinical activity of the 60 mg/kg dose, a secondary analysis was performed, which grouped the 10 mg/kg OMTX703 samples and the 10 mg/kg OMTX003 ones with the placebo-treated samples (Matrix#2-Normalized Values). Using a FDR of 0.0001, an absolute log2 fold change of 1.5, Pearson’s correlation as distance metric and Ward’s linkage as the clustering method, 22 proteins were discriminately identified between the 3 treatment groups (Matrix#2-Normalized Values). Notably, a protein regulator of altered metabolism (RPS6) was exclusively upregulated following OMTX703 (60mg/kg), and a second metabolism biomarker (LDHA) was down-expressed in the 30 and 60 mg/kg-treated groups. Conversely, BRD4 was one of about a dozen proteins that were preferentially down-regulated in samples treated only by 60 mg/kg.

Project description:Mucin 1 (MUC1) is a heterodimeric protein that is aberrantly overexpressed on the surface of diverse human carcinomas and is an attractive target for the development of mAb-based therapeutics. However, attempts at targeting the shed MUC1 N-terminal subunit have been unsuccessful. We report here the generation of mAb 3D1 against the nonshed oncogenic MUC1 C-terminal (MUC1-C) subunit. We show that mAb 3D1 binds with low nM affinity to the MUC1-C extracellular domain at the restricted ?3 helix. mAb 3D1 reactivity is selective for MUC1-C-expressing human cancer cell lines and primary cancer cells. Internalization of mAb 3D1 into cancer cells further supported the conjugation of mAb 3D1 to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). The mAb 3D1-MMAE antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) (a) kills MUC1-C-positive cells in vitro, (b) is nontoxic in MUC1-transgenic (MUC1.Tg) mice, and (c) is active against human HCC827 lung tumor xenografts. Humanized mAb (humAb) 3D1 conjugated to MMAE also exhibited antitumor activity in (a) MUC1.Tg mice harboring syngeneic MC-38/MUC1 tumors, (b) nude mice bearing human ZR-75-1 breast tumors, and (c) NCG mice engrafted with a patient-derived triple-negative breast cancer. These findings and the absence of associated toxicities support clinical development of humAb 3D1-MMAE ADCs as a therapeutic for the many cancers with MUC1-C overexpression.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-associated death in the United States and has a 5-year survival rate of <4%. Although much effort has been invested in the research and development of pancreatic cancer drugs over the past 30 years, due to the lack of effective targetable carcinogenic drivers, no new targeted therapies that can improve patient prognosis have been approved for clinical use. SHR-A1403 is a new c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) antibody-drug conjugate that can be used for the targeted treatment of PDAC with high c-MET expression. This study reports for the first time the application prospects of SHR-A1403 in preclinical models of PDAC. SHR-A1403 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These changes were caused by inhibition of intracellular cholesterol biosynthesis by SHR-A1403. Therefore, targeting c-MET through SHR-A1403 showed strong preclinical anti-tumour efficacy in pancreatic cancer. Our work suggests the potential application of c-MET-targeted antibody-drug conjugate treatment for PDAC in clinical practise.

Project description:Despite impressive clinical benefit obtained with anti-HER2 targeted therapies, in advances stages, especially in the metastatic setting, HER2 positive tumors remain incurable. Therefore, it is important to develop novel strategies to fight these tumors, especially when they become resistant to available therapies. We show here that the anti-HER3 antibody drug conjugate EV20/MMAF exerted potent antitumoral properties against several models of primary and secondary resistance to common anti-HER2 available therapies, including trastuzumab, lapatinib, neratinib and trastuzumab-emtansine. HER3 was expressed in these HER2+ breast cancer cells and knock down experiments demonstrated that HER3 expression was required for the action of EV20/MMAF. In mice injected with trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ cells, a single dose of EV20/MMAF caused complete and long-lasting tumor regression. Mechanistically, EV20/MMAF bound to cell surface HER3 and became internalized to the lysosomes. Treatment with EV20/MMAF caused cell cycle arrest in mitosis and promoted cell death through mitotic catastrophe. These findings encourage the clinical testing of EV20/MMAF for several indications in the HER2+ cancer clinic, including situations in which HER2+ tumors become refractory to approved anti-HER2 therapies.

Project description:We have developed a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that can selectively deliver the Lck inhibitor dasatinib to human T lymphocytes. This ADC is based on a humanized antibody that selectively binds with high affinity to CXCR4, an antigen that is selectively expressed on hematopoietic cells. The resulting dasatinib-antibody conjugate suppresses T-cell-receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation and cytokine expression with low nM EC50 and has minimal effects on cell viability. This ADC may lead to a new class of selective immunosuppressive drugs with improved safety and extend the ADC strategy to the targeted delivery of kinase inhibitors for indications beyond oncology.

Project description:Although several new therapeutic approaches have improved outcomes in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, unmet need persists in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), multiple myeloma (MM) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Here we describe the proteomic identification of a novel cancer target, SAIL (Surface Antigen In Leukemia), whose expression is observed in AML, MM, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). While SAIL is widely expressed in CLL, AML, MM, DLBCL and FL patient samples, expression in cancer cell lines is mostly limited to cells of AML origin. We evaluated the antitumor activity of anti-SAIL monoclonal antibodies, 7-1C and 67-7A, conjugated to monomethyl auristatin F. Following internalization, anti-SAIL antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) exhibited subnanomolar IC50 values against AML cell lines in vitro. In pharmacology studies employing AML cell line xenografts, anti-SAIL ADCs resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition. The restricted expression profile of this target in normal tissues, the high prevalence in different types of hematologic cancers and the observed preclinical activity support the clinical development of SAIL-targeted ADCs.

Project description:IL13Rα2 is a cell surface tumor antigen that is overexpressed in multiple tumor types. Here, we studied biodistribution and targeting potential of an anti-IL13Rα2 antibody (Ab) and anti-tumor activity of anti-IL13Rα2-antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). The anti-IL13Rα2 Ab was labeled with fluorophore AF680 or radioisotope 89Zr for in vivo tracking using fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT) or positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, respectively. Both imaging modalities showed that the tumor was the major uptake site for anti-IL13Rα2-Ab, with peak uptake of 5-8% ID and 10% ID/g as quantified from FMT and PET, respectively. Pharmacological in vivo competition with excess of unlabeled anti-IL13Rα2-Ab significantly reduced the tumor uptake, indicative of antigen-specific tumor accumulation. Further, FMT imaging demonstrated similar biodistribution and pharmacokinetic profiles of an auristatin-conjugated anti-IL13Rα2-ADC as compared to the parental Ab. Finally, the anti-IL13Rα2-ADC exhibited a dose-dependent anti-tumor effect on A375 xenografts, with 90% complete responders at a dose of 3 mg/kg. Taken together, both FMT and PET showed a favorable biodistribution profile for anti-IL13Rα2-Ab/ADC, along with antigen-specific tumor targeting and excellent therapeutic efficacy in the A375 xenograft model. This work shows the great potential of this anti-IL13Rα2-ADC as a targeted anti-cancer agent.
