摘要:
The present invention relates to therapeutic immunoconjugates comprising SN-38 attached to an antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment. The antibody may bind to EGP-1 (TROP-2), CEACAM5, CEACAM6, CD74, CD19, CD20, CD22, CSAp, HLA-DR, AFP or MUC5ac and the immunoconjugate may be administered at a dosage of between 4 mg/kg and 24 mg/kg, preferably 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 or 18 mg/kg. When administered at specified dosages and schedules, the immunoconjugate can reduce solid tumors in size, reduce or eliminate metastases and is effective to treat cancers resistant to standard therapies, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a CL2A-SN-38 compound, comprising: (a) derivatizing an SN-38 drug with a first linker, wherein the first linker contains a reactive moiety that is capable of combining with a second linker, a PEG moiety comprising 8 monomeric subunits, a lysine amino acid spacer between the drug and the first linker, and a carbonate intracellularly-cleavable moiety, which is cleavable by intracellular peptidases or cleavable by the low pH environment of endosomal and lysosomal vesicles; (b) providing a second linker, which contains a targeting-moiety-coupling group, which is a maleimide group, and further contains a reactive group capable of reacting with the drug-first linker conjugate; and (c) reacting the second linker with the drug-first linker conjugate by a copper (+1) ion-catalyzed acetylene-azide cycloaddition reaction, to produce a compound having a structure represented by:
摘要:
Described herein are compositions and methods of use of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) comprising an anti-Trop-2 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, conjugated to one or more cytotoxic drugs. Preferably, the antibody is an RS7, 162-46.2 or MAB650 antibody. More preferably, the antibody is humanized. Preferably the drug is SN-38, pro-2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin, paclitaxel, calichemicin, DM1, DM3, DM4, MMAE, MMAD or MMAF. The compositions and methods are of use to treat Trop-2 expressing cancers, such as breast, ovarian, cervical, endometrial, lung, prostate, colon, stomach, esophageal, bladder, renal, pancreatic, thyroid, epithelial or head-and-neck cancer. Preferably, the cancer is one that is resistant to one or more standard cancer therapies. More preferably, the anti-Trop-2 antibody binds to Trop-2 expressed on normal cells, but administration of the anti-Trop-2 ADC to human cancer patients at a therapeutically effective dosage produces only limited toxicity.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods, compositions and uses of conjugates of prodrug forms of 2- pyrrolinodoxorubicin (P2PDox) with antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof (ADCs), with targetable construct peptides or with other targeting molecules that are capable of delivering the P2PDox to a targeted cell, tissue or pathogen. Once delivered to the target cell, the ADC or peptide conjugate is internalized, a highly toxic 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin (2- PDox) is released intracellularly. The P2PDox-peptide or ADC conjugates are of use to treat a wide variety of diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disease or infectious disease.
摘要:
Improved synthesis methods are provided for preparing conjugates of proteins and chelating agents. In the synthesis methods, non-stable bonds are hydrolyzed after the conjugate is synthesized, for example by treating the conjugate with a quenching agent. The synthesis method provides conjugates that are substantially free of non-stable bonds between the protein and the chelating agent, such that the chelating agent is less likely to dissociate with the conjugate after the conjugate has been stored for extended periods. The conjugate may be useful for therapeutic or diagnostic methods.
