Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of an anti-CLDN4-anti-CD137 bispecific antibody in combination with a PD-1 signal inhibitor in cancer treatment.
- Claudin-4 is a four-transmembrane protein belonging to the claudin family. It is expressed in epithelial and endothelial cells and plays an important role as a key molecule that constitutes tight junctions. CLDN4 is also highly expressed in cancer tissues such as colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, and ovarian cancer, and it has been suggested that anti-CLDN4 antibodies may be applicable to the treatment or diagnosis of cancer (Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 1). Furthermore, in animal models, the combined use of anti-CLDN4 antibodies and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies has been shown to have an antitumor effect (Non-Patent Document 2).
- CD137 Cluster of Differentiation 137
- 4-1BB Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily
- TNFRSF Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily
- CD137 on T cells is known to bind to the CD137 ligand on antigen-presenting cells and to be involved in the activation and survival of T cells as a costimulatory molecule
- Non-Patent Document 3 Anti-CD137 agonist antibodies have shown antitumor effects in animal models through the activation of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (Non-Patent Document 4).
- the anti-CD137 agonist antibody urelumab has shown therapeutic effects in clinical trials, but has also been reported to cause liver damage as a side effect (Non-Patent Document 5).
- Bispecific T-cell-recruiting antibodies in various antibody formats have been reported as an innovative method that can obtain selective cytotoxic activity against cancer cells at low antibody concentrations.
- Bispecific T-cell-recruiting antibodies are bispecific antibodies that contain an antibody against tumor-associated antigens (TAA) expressed on the surface of cancer cells and an antibody that binds to T cells, and the effects of these antibodies on T cell-mediated immunotherapy are currently being investigated (Non-Patent Document 6).
- Anti-CD3 antibodies are often used as antibodies that bind to T cells, and research and development of bispecific T-cell-recruiting antibodies against various TAAs is currently being conducted.

- PD-1 is a 50-55 kDa type I transmembrane protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily (Non-Patent Document 10).
- PD-1 is induced in T cells with sustained activation, and inhibits T cell activation by binding to its ligands, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1; also called PDCD1LG1, B7-H1 or CD274) or programmed death-ligand 2 (PD-L2; also called PDCD1LG2, B7-DC or CD273) (Non-Patent Document 11).

- PD-L2 programmed death-ligand 2
- an immune checkpoint such a mechanism for controlling T cell activation is called an immune checkpoint, and is known as one of the negative feedback mechanisms for preventing excessive immune responses.
- immune cells such as T cells eliminate cancer through an antitumor immune response via immune surveillance. Meanwhile, cancer acquires an immune escape mechanism by directly or indirectly suppressing immune cells in the cancer microenvironment.
- Immune checkpoint mechanisms such as the PD-1/PD-L1 or PD-L2 (hereinafter referred to as "PD-1 signal") pathway and the CTLA-4/CD80 or CD86 pathway are known as mechanisms for directly suppressing activated T cells.

- CTLA-4/CD80 or CD86 pathway are known as mechanisms for directly suppressing activated T cells.
- Non-Patent Documents 13-15 It has been reported in multiple mouse cancer-bearing models that inhibition of the PD-1 signal releases the immune escape mechanism, resulting in antitumor activity. Furthermore, PD-1 signal inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 antibodies such as nivolumab and pembrolizumab have been vigorously developed as PD-1 signal inhibitors, and have achieved great results in melanoma, lung cancer, lymphoma, etc. In addition to antibodies, research is also being conducted on nucleic acid drugs and small molecule drugs as PD-1 signal inhibitors (Non-Patent Document 16).
- Non-Patent Documents 17 and 18 In order to improve the efficacy of treatment in cancer patients, combination therapies using multiple cancer immunotherapy drugs and combination studies of cancer immunotherapy drugs with existing anticancer drugs are being actively conducted (Non-Patent Documents 17 and 18).

[実施例1-1:抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体をコードするベクターの作製]
抗CLDN4抗体であるKM3900は他のクローディンファミリー分子であるCLDN6等に比べてCLDN4に選択的に結合することが報告されている(特許文献1)。そこで、報告に基づきKM3900のヒト化抗体の作製を行った。
具体的には、KM3900の可変領域のヒト化アミノ酸配列に基づき、ヒトIgγ1の定常領域及びヒトIgκの定常領域の配列からヒト化抗体の設計を行なった。ヒトIgγ1定常領域には、L234A、L235A、及びP331Gのアミノ酸変異を導入し抗CLDN4抗体配列を設計した。設計したヒト化抗CLDN4抗体を「hKM3900」と称する。
AlivaMabマウス(Ablexis社、米国特許9346873号)に、PCT/JP2022/18350の実施例3に記載のヒトCD137-ヒトFc融合タンパク質と免疫アジュバントを数回投与して免疫を行った。常法に従い、免疫したマウスのリンパ節からリンパ球を回収し、マウスミエローマ細胞SP2/0と細胞融合することでハイブリドーマを作製した。自動ピッキング装置にてハイブリドーマの単コロニーを単離し、モノクローン化ハイブリドーマ細胞(以下「クローン」と称する)を取得した。ヒトCD137に結合する抗体を産生するクローンのスクリーニングを行い、抗CD137抗体(以下「A2-32」と称する)を産生するクローンを取得した。さらにこのクローンの細胞溶解液からcDNAを合成し、抗体塩基配列を同定した。取得したA2-32の重鎖可変領域及び軽鎖可変領域の配列に基づき抗CD137scFvを設計した。
抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体を、hKM3900のアミノ酸配列及び設計した抗CD137scFvのアミノ酸配列に基づき設計した。抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体は、IgG1型のhKM3900の重鎖C末端にGSリンカーが連結されており、GSリンカーのC末端に抗CD137scFvのN末端が結合している。設計した抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体は、配列番号2のアミノ酸配列からなる抗CLDN4抗体の重鎖及び抗CD137scFvを含むポリペプチド及び配列番号4のアミノ酸配列からなる抗CLDN4抗体の軽鎖からなる。設計した抗CLDN4抗体の重鎖及び抗CD137scFvを含むポリペプチドをコードするポリヌクレオチド及び抗CLDN4抗体の軽鎖をコードするポリヌクレオチドを作製し、それぞれ常法に従いpcDNA3.4 TOPOベクター(Thermo Fisher Scientific社)へ挿入した。作製した2つのベクターを「抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体発現ベクター」と称する。
抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体発現ベクターを用いて、抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体を作製した。具体的には、ExpiFectamine CHO Transfection Kit(Thermo Fisher Scientific社、A29129)を用いてExpiCHO-S細胞(Thermo Fisher Scientific社、A29127)に抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体発現ベクターを導入し、抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体を培養上清中に分泌させた。得られた培養上清からMabSelect SuRe(Cytiva社、17-5438-02)を用いたアフィニティ精製法、更に、HiLoad 26/600 superdex 200 pg(GEヘルスケア社、28-9893-36)を用いたサイズ排除クロマトグラフィー精製法により、抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体であるhKM3900_tA2-32LHを精製した。
実施例1にて作製した抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体であるhKM3900_tA2-32LHを「抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体」と称することもある。
ヒトOKT3scFv発現LCLC-103H細胞とExpanded panT細胞を用いた共培養系において、抗CLDN4-抗CD137二重特異性抗体と抗PD-1抗体のin vitro併用効果の検討を行った。
RPMI-1640(Sigma社、R8758)に終濃度10%のFBS(Cytiva社、SH30084.03)と、終濃度1%のペニシリンストレプトマイシン(Thermo Fisher Scientific社、15070-063)を加えたものを「培養培地」と称する。終濃度1μg/mLとなるように抗CD3抗体(BioLegend社、317325)を150mm/Tissue Culture Dish(IWAKI社、3030-150)(以下「ディッシュ」と称する)に添加し、抗CD3抗体を固相化した。PanT Cell Isolation Kit,human(Miltenyi Biotec社、130-096-535)を用い、メーカー推奨プロトコルに従ってヒト末梢血単核細胞(human peripheral blood mononuclear cells)(LONZA社、CC-2702)からPanT細胞(CD4陽性T細胞及びCD8陽性T細胞の両方を含む、以下「PanT細胞」と称する)を単離した。単離したPanT細胞を遠心分離し、上清を取り除いた後に培養培地に懸濁した。前述の抗CD3抗体を固相化したディッシュに、培養培地に懸濁したPanT細胞を全量播種した。更に終濃度200U/mLのヒトIL-2(PeproTech社、200-2)及び終濃度4μg/mLの抗CD28抗体(BioLegend社、302934)を添加し、37℃、5% CO2インキュベーターにて培養を行った。培養開始から3日後にPanT細胞を回収し、回収したPanT細胞を培養培地に懸濁してディッシュに播種した。更に終濃度200U/mLのヒトIL-2を添加し、37℃、5% CO2インキュベーターにて培養を行った。その4日後、PanT細胞を全量回収して遠心分離し、上清を取り除いた後にセルバンカー(Takara社、CB011)に再懸濁し、チューブに分取して-80℃で凍結保存した。ここで凍結保存したPanT細胞を、本明細書において「Expanded PanT細胞」と称する。
ヒトCLDN4を発現するヒト大細胞肺がん細胞株のLCLC-103H細胞は、Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen(DSMZ、ACC384)から入手した。ヒト大細胞肺がん細胞株のLCLC-103H細胞を培養培地にて37℃、5%CO2の条件下で培養した。常法に従い遺伝子合成により作製したヒトOKT3scFv(Journal of Immunological Methods,2010:362:p.131-141)をコードするポリヌクレオチドをpcDNA3.4-TOPOベクターにサブクローニングした。作製したヒトOKT3scFv発現ベクターをLipofectamineLTX(Invitrogen、15338-100)を用いてメーカー推奨のプロトコルに従いLCLC-103H細胞にリポフェクションした。終濃度600μg/mLのGeneticin Selective Antibiotic(Thermo Fisher Scientific社、10131-027)を添加した培養培地での選択培養及び限界希釈法によりヒトOKT3scFvを安定発現するLCLC-103H細胞クローン(以下「LCLC-OKT3scFv細胞」と称する)を取得した。
