Definitions
- the present invention relates to a single domain antibody against CD47, an immune checkpoint protein, and uses thereof.
- the immune cells of cancer patients develop tolerance to cancer antigens and can recognize cancer cells, but they are functionally suppressed and cannot effectively eliminate cancer cells.
- the key to immunotherapy is to wake up immune cells that have fallen into resistance and induce them to become activated immune cells to destroy cancer cells.
- Such immunotherapy includes cytokine therapeutics such as IFN- ⁇ and IL-2, cancer vaccines using dendritic cells, cell therapy using T cells, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that block immune checkpoint proteins. ) and the like, and such therapeutic agents are commonly referred to as immuno-oncology therapy.
- immune checkpoint inhibitors which are being developed competitively by international pharmaceutical companies, are immune checkpoint inhibitors.
- Immune checkpoint protein is a cell membrane protein that inhibits the differentiation, proliferation, and activity of immune cells. Specifically, this protein is usually expressed in activated T cells, and is also called a co-inhibitory molecule because it has the function of reducing T cell proliferation, cytokine secretion, and cytotoxicity, and inhibiting excessive T cell activity.
- co-inhibitory receptors CTLA-4 and PD-1 are expressed in T cells, and thus T cell activity is regulated through binding to the respective ligands B7.1/2 and PD-L1.
- PD-L1 is expressed in cancer cells and inactivates cancer-specific T cells and induces apoptosis to protect cancer cells from immune attack by T cells. it can also be In addition, it is reported that cancer patients in which PD-L1 is ectopicly expressed in cancer cells have a worse prognosis than cancer patients who do not.
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that attack cancer cells by activating T cells by blocking the activity of immune checkpoint proteins involved in T cell suppression.
- antibodies that recognize CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 are used.
- the CTLA-4 inhibitor ipilimumab (Yervoy) was the first immune checkpoint inhibitor to obtain FDA approval in 2011 as a second-line treatment for metastatic melanoma.
- the PD-1 blockers nivolumab (Opdivo) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda) obtained FDA approval for metastatic melanoma, respectively.
- Atezolizumab (Tecentriq), an immune checkpoint inhibitor for PD-L1, was used for bladder cancer (2016), and avelumab (Bavencio) was used for the treatment of metastatic merkle cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, Dervaru. Mab (durvalumab (Imfinzi)) received FDA approval in 2017 for bladder cancer.
- the PD-1 inhibitor chemiplimab (Libtayo) received FDA approval for squamous cell carcinoma.
- these drugs are gaining FDA approval for the treatment of a growing number of carcinomas, expanding therapeutic indications.
- six PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for a total of 18 carcinomas.
- immunomodulatory proteins such as B7-H4, ICOS, HVEM, PDL-2, and PVRIG are entering preclinical trials as new targets. Most of these therapeutics target a target expressed on T cells.
- CD47 Cluster of Differentiation 47
- NHL non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- MM multiple myeloma
- ALL acute lymphoblastic leukemia
- AML acute myeloid leukemia
- CD47 is expressed on the cell surface and interacts with SIRP alpha (SIRPa), thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) and integrin proteins to participate in cell death, proliferation and immune responses.
- SIRPa SIRP alpha
- TSP1 thrombospondin-1
- CD47 expressed in tumor cells interacts with SIRP alpha (SIRPa) expressed on the surface of macrophages to send a “don’t eat me” signal, thereby avoiding the phagocytosis of macrophages as well as tumor cells. It promotes the proliferation and growth of tumor cells by inhibiting vascular proliferation and the role of effector T-cells in the environment.
- the present inventors have led to the present application by developing an immune checkpoint inhibitor that targets an immune checkpoint protein.

- epitope refers to a protein determinant capable of specific binding to an antibody.
- Epitopes generally consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules, such as amino acids or sugar side chains, and generally have specific three-dimensional structural characteristics, as well as specific charge characteristics.
- treatment refers to slowing, stopping, stopping, controlling, arresting, ameliorating or ameliorating a disorder or disease disclosed herein, e.g., the symptoms or complications of the disease, or the progression thereof. It refers to any process that may be reversible, but does not necessarily represent the complete elimination of all symptoms of a disease or disorder.
- prevention means prophylactic treatment of a disease or disorder, eg, a disease, or delaying the onset or progression of the disease or disorder.
- subject refers to a mammal, including but not limited to humans, bovines, horses, cats, dogs, rodents, or primates. In some embodiments, the subject is a human.
- antibody is used in its broadest sense and includes, but is not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (eg, bispecific antibodies), full-length antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired antigen-binding activity. It encompasses a variety of antibody structures, including antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof.
- antibody includes conventional four-chain antibodies, single domain antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof.
- the basic four-chain antibody unit is a heterotetrameric glycoprotein composed of two identical light (L) chains and two identical heavy (H) chains.
- IgM antibodies consist of 5 of the basic heterotetrameric units and contain 10 antigen-binding sites with an additional polypeptide called the J chain, whereas IgA antibodies will polymerize to form multivalent aggregates in combination with the J chain. 2-5 of the possible basic 4-chain units.
- a four-chain unit is generally about 150,000 daltons.
- Each L chain is linked to the H chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the two H chains are linked to each other by one or more disulfide bonds, depending on the H chain isotype.
- Each H and L chain also has regularly spaced interchain disulfide bridges.
- Each H chain has, at the N-terminus, a variable domain (VH) for each of the ⁇ and ⁇ chains followed by 3 constant domains (CH) and 4 CH domains for the ⁇ and ⁇ isotypes.
- Each L chain has at its N-terminus a variable domain (VL) followed by a constant domain at its other end. VL is aligned with VH and CL is aligned with the first constant domain of the heavy chain (CH1). Mating of VH and VL together forms a single antigen-binding site.
- immunoglobulins can be assigned to different classes or isotypes. There are five classes of immunoglobulins: ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ , each with a heavy chain designated as IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM.
- the ⁇ and ⁇ classes are further divided into subclasses based on relatively few differences in CH sequence and function, for example, humans express the following subclasses: IgG1, IgG2A, IgG2B, IgG3, IgG4, IgA1 and IgA2.
- HCAb heavy chain-only antibody
- single-domain antibody refers to a single antigen-binding polypeptide having three complementarity determining regions (CDRs).
- CDRs complementarity determining regions
- single-domain antibodies are engineered from camelid HCAbs, and their heavy chain variable domains are referred to herein as “VHH” (the variable domain of the heavy chain of a heavy chain antibody).
- the basic VHH has the following structure from N-terminus to C-terminus: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4, wherein FR1-FR4 refer to framework regions 1-4 respectively, and CDR1-CDR3 denotes complementarity determining regions 1-3.
- variable region refers to the amino-terminal domain of the heavy or light chain of an antibody.
- the variable domains of the heavy and light chains may be referred to as “VH” and “VL” respectively. These domains are generally the most variable portion of an antibody (relative to other antibodies of the same class) and contain the antigen binding site.
- Heavy chain-only antibodies from Camelidae species have a single heavy chain variable region referred to as “VHH”.
- variable refers to the fact that certain segments of variable domains differ widely in sequence among antibodies.
- the V domain mediates antigen binding and defines the specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen.
- variability is not evenly distributed over the entire range of the variable domain. Instead, it is enriched in three segments called complementarity determining regions (CDRs) or hypervariable regions (HVRs) in both the heavy and light chain variable domains.
- CDRs complementarity determining regions
- HVRs hypervariable regions
- the more highly conserved portions of variable domains are called framework regions (FR).
- the variable domains of native heavy and light chains each comprise four FR regions, which are joined by three CDRs, which form loop linkages, predominantly adopt a beta-sheet configuration, and in some cases form part of the beta-sheet structure.
- the CDRs in each chain are held together in close proximity by the FR regions, and the CDRs from the other chain contribute to the formation of the antigen binding site of the antibody (Kabat, Elvin A., Sequence of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)).
