  • STING is a 378 amino acid protein, which mainly contains three structural domains: (i) N-terminal transmembrane domain (aa 1–154); (ii) central globular domain (aa 155–341); and (iii) C-terminal tail (aa 342– 379).
  • STING may form symmetrical dimers combined with its ligands in V-shaped conformation, while not completely covering the bound ligands.

Description

Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 ANTIBODY DRUG CONJUGATES COMPRISING STING AGONISTS, COMBINATIONS AND METHODS OF USE RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/489,975 filed March 13, 2023. The contents of this application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. REFERENCE TO AN ELECTRONIC SEQUENCE LISTING [0002] The contents of the electronic sequence listing (MRSN_043_001WO_SeqList_ST26.xml; Size: 18,756 bytes; and Date of Creation: March 12, 2024) are herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND [0003] Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a receptor in the endoplasmic reticulum that propagates innate immune sensing of cytosolic pathogen derived- and self-DNA. STING is a 378 amino acid protein, which mainly contains three structural domains: (i) N-terminal transmembrane domain (aa 1–154); (ii) central globular domain (aa 155–341); and (iii) C-terminal tail (aa 342– 379). STING may form symmetrical dimers combined with its ligands in V-shaped conformation, while not completely covering the bound ligands. A STING agonist can bind into the pocket region of STING. However, the STING activation process is easily inhibited in some severe disease conditions, resulting in the inactivation of the STING pathway. Therefore, screening and designing potent STING agonists is of great importance for cancer immune therapy and other infectious diseases treatments, including, but not limited to, obesity, liver injury, sugar-lipid metabolism, and virus infection. Specific targeting of immune pathways presents opportunities for cancer therapy, potentially offering greater specificity than cell population-based therapeutic approaches. [0004] Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are comprised of a drug like small molecule, covalently linked to an antibody. The antibody represents a targeting mechanism tuned to a specific site of action. Upon reaching the site, the ADC is designed to release a small molecule, the drug, allowing it to perform its designed function in a targeted manner, as opposed to diffusing systemically through the entire body of the subject. This targeted approach allows for treatment with drugs that ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 would otherwise require doses so high as to be toxic when administered systemically and minimizes potential for on-target, off-tumor toxicity. [0005] A key feature of the innate immune system is the recognition and elimination of foreign substances. Identification of these pathogenic invaders occurs through host recognition of evolutionarily conserved microbial structures known as pathogen- associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Host recognition may occur by multiple pathways, such as activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which ultimately lead to downstream signaling events and culminate in the mounting of an immune response. [0006] The antibody-drug conjugates of this disclosure modulate the activity of STING, and accordingly, may provide a beneficial therapeutic impact in treatment of diseases, disorders and/or conditions wherein modulation of STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) is beneficial, including, but not limited to, inflammation, allergic and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, cancer, pre-cancerous syndromes, and as vaccine adjuvants. In addition, combination therapy in which two or more drugs are used in certain dosing regimen or administration form, can enhance potency by exploiting additive or synergistic effects in the biological activity of the two or more drugs. There remains a need for new immunotherapies for the treatment of diseases, in particular cancer. SUMMARY [0007] In some aspects, the present disclosure provides, inter alia, a combination therapy comprising at least one protein-based recognition molecule (PBRM)-STING agonist conjugate and at least one natural killer (NK) cell therapy, wherein the conjugate comprises an antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to a target.

The targeted STING agonist antibody-drug conjugates described herein have been shown to exhibit ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity) function, which synergizes with STING pathway activation and induces potent cancer cell-killing activity in co-cultures of tumor associated antigen expressing cancer cells and FcȖ-RIII+ (CD16+) immune cells. [0048] Surprisingly, it was discovered that both the targeted STING agonist ADC as well as the unconjugated parental antibody retain significant cancer cell-killing activity in an Fc-effector function dependent manner in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) co-cultures depleted of FcȖ-RI-expressing myeloid cells. This activity is abrogated by co-depletion of FcȖ-RIII+ immune cells, illustrating the ADCC function of the HER2-targeted STING agonist ADC. In this setting, targeted STING agonist ADC cancer cell-killing activity was significantly increased compared to the parental antibody suggesting that the STING payload contributes to the differential activity observed with ADC treatment alone . Indeed, co-treatment of cancer cell and immune cell co- cultures with free parental antibody and free STING agonist payload enhanced the anti-tumor responses, although to a lesser extent than the ADC, suggesting a synergy between the ADCC function and STING pathway activation. [0049] Notably, the targeted STING agonist ADC was capable of engaging both FcȖ-RI+ myeloid cells and FcȖ-RIII+ NK cells, activating both STING-mediated innate immune responses and ADCC function in triple cultures with tumor associated antigen expressing cancer cells. Definitions [0050] The chemical names provided for the intermediate compounds and/or the compounds of this disclosure described herein may refer to any one of the tautomeric representations of such ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 compounds (in some instances, such alternate names are provided with the experimental). It is to be understood that any reference to a named compound (an intermediate compound or a compound of the disclosure) or a structurally depicted compound (an intermediate compound or a compound of the disclosure) is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms including zwitterionic forms of such compounds and any mixture thereof. [0051] It is to be understood that the terms “In some aspect”, “In some aspect of the present disclosure”, and “In some aspect of a compound of the present disclosure” may be used interchangeably where appropriate. [0052] The term “about”, “approximately”, or “approximate”, when used in connection with a numerical value, means that a collection or range of values is included. In some aspects, “about X” includes a range of values that are ±25%, ±20%, ±15%, ±10%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1%, ±0.5%, ±0.2%, or ±0.1% of X, where X is a numerical value. In some aspects, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 5% more or less than the specified value. In some aspects, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 2% more or less than the specified value. In some aspects, the term “about” refers to a range of values which are 1% more or less than the specified value. [0053] Recitation of ranges of values are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. A range used herein, unless otherwise specified, includes the two limits of the range. In some aspects, the expressions “x being an integer between 1 and 6” and “x being an integer of 1 to 6” both mean “x being 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6”, i.e., the terms “between X and Y” and “range from X to Y, are inclusive of X and Y and the integers there between. [0054] The term “Protein-based recognition-molecule” or “PBRM” refers to a molecule that recognizes and binds to a cell surface marker or receptor such as, a transmembrane protein, surface immobilized protein, or proteoglycan. In some embodiments, the PBRM comprises an engineered cysteine. Examples of PBRMs include but are not limited to, antibodies, peptides, lipocalins, proteins, peptides or peptide mimics, and the like. The protein-based recognition molecule, in addition to targeting the conjugate to a specific cell, tissue or location, may also have certain therapeutic effect such as antiproliferative (cytostatic and/or cytotoxic) activity against a target cell or pathway. The protein-based recognition molecule comprises or may be engineered to comprise at least one chemically reactive group such as, -COOH, primary amine, secondary amine –NHR, ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 -SH, or a chemically reactive amino acid moiety or side chains such as, for example, tyrosine, histidine, cysteine, or lysine. In some embodiments, a PBRM may be a ligand (LG) or targeting moiety which specifically binds or complexes with a cell surface molecule, such as a cell surface receptor or antigen, for a given target cell population. Following specific binding or complexing of the ligand with its receptor, the cell is permissive for uptake of the ligand or ligand-drug- conjugate, which is then internalized into the cell. As used herein, a ligand that “specifically binds or complexes with” or “targets” a cell surface molecule preferentially associates with a cell surface molecule via intermolecular forces. In some embodiments, the ligand can preferentially associate with the cell surface molecule with a Kd of less than about 50 nM, less than about 5 nM, or less than 500 pM. Techniques for measuring binding affinity of a ligand to a cell surface molecule are well-known; for example, one suitable technique, is termed surface plasmon resonance (SPR). In some embodiments, the ligand is used for targeting and has no detectable therapeutic effect as separate from the drug which it delivers.

[0061] When used herein in the context of two or more antibodies, the term “competes with” or “cross-competes with” indicates that the two or more antibodies compete for binding to HER2, An antibody “blocks” or “cross-blocks” one or more other antibodies from binding to HER2 if the antibody competes with the one or more other antibodies 25% or more, with 25%-74% representing “partial block” and 75%-400% representing “full block”. Unless otherwise defined or negated by context, the terms “competes with”, “cross-competes with”, “blocks” or “cross- blocks” when used herein is also intended to cover such pairs of antibodies. [0062] The term "epitope" refers to the particular site on an antigen molecule to which an antibody binds. [0063] The term "independently", as used herein, means that where more than one substituent is selected from a number of possible substituents, those substituents may be the same or different. [0064] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable", as used herein, refers to those compounds, conjugates, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. [0065] The term “pharmaceutical composition” as used herein, refers to a mixture, formulation, or solution comprising at least one therapeutic agent to be administered to a subject, e.g., a mammal or human, in order or treat a particular disease or condition affecting the subject.

A mixture containing equal amounts of individual enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is termed a “racemic mixture.” [0090] When present in a structure or Formula, a bond denoted by a “ ” indicates the presence of a mixture of stereoisomers that feature different stereochemistry at the position to which is connected but are otherwise identical. ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 [0091] The present disclosure is intended to include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium. Isotopes of carbon include C-13 and C-14. [0092] Accordingly, included within the present disclosure are the conjugates as disclosed herein, in any salt or non-salt form and any physical form thereof, and mixtures of various forms.

Similarly, where methods or processes are described as having, including, or comprising specific process steps, the processes also consist essentially of, or consist of, the recited processing steps. Further, it should be understood that the order of steps or order for performing certain actions is immaterial so long as the invention remains operable. Moreover, two or more steps or actions can be conducted simultaneously. [0094] All percentages and ratios used herein, unless otherwise indicated, are by weight. Other features and advantages of the present disclosure are apparent from the different examples. The provided examples illustrate different components and methodology useful in practicing the present disclosure. The examples do not limit the claimed disclosure. Based on the present disclosure the skilled artisan can identify and employ other components and methodology useful for practicing the present disclosure. Protein-Based Recognition Molecule (PBRM) [0095] In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule directs the conjugates to specific tissues, cells, or locations in a cell. In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule can direct the conjugate in culture or in a whole organism, or both. In each case, the protein-based recognition molecule may have a ligand that is present on the cell surface of the targeted cell(s) to which it binds with an effective specificity, affinity, and avidity. In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule targets the conjugate to tissues other than ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 the liver. In some embodiments the protein-based recognition molecule targets the conjugate to a specific tissue such as the liver, kidney, lung, or pancreas. The protein-based recognition molecule can target the conjugate to a target cell such as a cancer cell, such as a receptor expressed on a cell such as a cancer cell, a matrix tissue, or a protein associated with cancer such as tumor antigen. Alternatively, cells comprising the tumor vasculature may be targeted. The protein-based recognition molecules can direct the conjugate to specific types of cells such as specific targeting to hepatocytes in the liver as opposed to Kupffer cells. In some embodiments, protein-based recognition molecules can direct the conjugate to cells of the reticular endothelial or lymphatic system, or to professional phagocytic cells such as macrophages or eosinophils. In some embodiments, the conjugate itself may also be an effective delivery system, without the need for specific targeting. [0096] In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule can target the conjugate to a tumor antigen or a tumor associated antigen. [0097] In some embodiments, the protein-based recognition molecule is an antibody, an antibody fragment, a protein, a peptide, or a peptide mimic.

[00100] In some embodiments, the antibody or antibody fragment may be a mutated antibody or antibody fragment. In some embodiments, a monoclonal antibody known in the art is engineered to form the antibody. In some embodiments, an antibody fragment (e.g., a Fab antibody fragment) known in the art is engineered to form the antibody fragment (e.g., a cysteine engineered Fab antibody fragment). In some embodiments, a single site mutation of a Fab gives a single ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 residue in a Fab whereas a single site mutation in an antibody yields two amino acids in the resulting antibody due to the dimeric nature of the IgG antibody.

[00140] Those skilled in the art will recognize that it is possible to determine, without undue experimentation, if a monoclonal antibody has the same specificity as a monoclonal antibody XMT-1519, by ascertaining whether the former prevents the latter from binding to a natural binding partner or other molecule known to be associated with HER2. In some embodiments, if the monoclonal antibody being tested competes with the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein, as shown by a decrease in binding by the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein, then the two monoclonal antibodies bind to the same, or a closely related, epitope. [00141] In some embodiments, an alternative method for determining whether a monoclonal antibody has the specificity of monoclonal antibody disclosed herein is to pre-incubate the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein with soluble HER2 (with which it is normally reactive), and then add the monoclonal antibody being tested to determine if the monoclonal antibody being tested is inhibited in its ability to bind HER2. If the monoclonal antibody being tested is inhibited then, in all likelihood, it has the same, or functionally equivalent, epitopic specificity as the monoclonal antibody disclosed herein. [00142] In some embodiments, screening of monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein, can be also carried out, e.g., by measuring HER2-mediated PI3K-Akt pathway activity, and determining whether the test monoclonal antibody is able to modulate, block, inhibit, reduce, antagonize, neutralize or otherwise interfere with PI3K-Akt pathway activity.

NK cell therapies [00169] NK cells are innate immune effectors and are found mainly in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, spleen and liver. NK cells possess cytotoxic features similar to those of CD8+ T cells and play important roles in tumor immunology. CD8+ T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity relies on the combination of the T-cell receptor (TCR) and an antigen presented by major histocompatibility complex-I (MHC-I). NK cells can recognize MHC-I expressed on healthy cells and avoid attacking them. Tumor cells can down-modulate MHC-I to escape CD8+ T-cell- mediated cytotoxicity, while NK cells can be activated through the loss of MHC-I and control the proliferation and metastasis of tumors. Thus, NK cells have more specific anti-tumor effects and are associated with fewer off-target complications. [00170] Any suitable NK cell therapy has been contemplated herein for use in the combinations and methods of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the NK cell therapy is a NK cell engager or a CAR NK cell therapy. [00171] In some embodiments, the NK cell engager is chosen from an antibody molecule that binds to the NK cell and the tumor antigen e.g., an antigen binding domain, or ligand that binds to (e.g., activates): NKp30, NKp40, NKp44, NKp46, NKG2D, DNAM1, DAP10, CD16 (e.g., CD16a, CD16b, or both), CRTAM, CD27, PSGL1, CD96, CD100 (SEMA4D), NKp80, CD244 (also known as SLAMF4 or 2B4), SLAMF6, SLAMF7, KIR2DS2, KIR2DS4, KIR3DS1, KIR2DS3, KIR2DS5, KIR2DS1, CD94, NKG2C, NKG2E, or CD160. [00172] In some embodiments, the NK cell engager is an antibody molecule that binds to the NK cell and the tumor antigen, e.g., an antigen binding domain. In some embodiments, the NK cell engager is an antibody molecule, e.g., an antigen binding domain, that binds to NKp30 or NKp46. In some embodiments, the NK cell engager is a ligand, optionally, the ligand further comprises an immunoglobulin constant region, e.g., an Fc region. In some embodiments, the NK cell engager is a ligand of NKp44 or NKp46, e.g., a viral HA. In some embodiments, the NK cell engager is a ligand of DAP10, e.g., a coreceptor for NKG2D. In some embodiments, the NK cell engager is a ligand of CD16, e.g., a CD16a/b ligand, e.g., a CD16a/b ligand further comprising an antibody Fc region. Examples of NK cell engagers include ABBV-303 (cMET-targeted ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 trispecific NK cell engager therapy; Dragonfly Therapeutics and Abbvie), BMS986315 (anti- NKG2A antibody; e.g., NCT06094296), DF-1001 (Dragonfly Therapeutics), DF-9001 (Dragonfly Therapeutics), HY0102 (Shanghai HyaMab Biotech), IMT-009 (Immunitas Therapeutics), SAR443579 (Sanofi and Innate Pharma), SAR445514 (Sanofi and Innate Pharma), monalizumab (Innate Pharma), nadunolimab (Cantargia), and S095029 (Servier).

It is one of the mechanisms through which antibodies, as part of the humoral immune response, can act to limit and contain infection. ADCC is independent of the immune complement system that also lyses targets but does not require any other cell. ADCC requires an effector cell which classically are known to be natural killer (NK) cells that typically interact with immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. However, macrophages, neutrophils and eosinophils can also mediate ADCC. [00176] Any suitable antibody directed to a tumor antigen that exhibits therapy ADCC function has been contemplated herein for use in the combinations and methods of the disclosure. In embodiments, antibodies with ADCC function are afucosylated or have other Fc modifications to enhance the binding of the antibody to Fc-gamma receptor III or enhance the ADCC of the antibody. [00177] In some embodiments, the antibody with ADCC function binds to the same biological target as the PBRM or HER-2 ANTIBODY of the antibody-drug conjugate, optionally wherein the antibody with ADCC function binds to a different epitope of the biological target than the PBRM or HER-2 ANTIBODY of the antibody-drug conjugate. [00178] In some embodiments, the antibody with ADCC function does not cross-compete for binding to the biological target with the PBRM or HER-2 ANTIBODY of the antibody-drug conjugate, optionally as measured by a Biacore assay. [00179] In some embodiments, the antibody with ADCC function binds to a different biological target than the PBRM or HER-2 ANTIBODY of the antibody-drug conjugate. [00180] In some embodiments, in the combinations the ADCC function of the antibody (that is directed to a target) synergizes with the STING pathway activation and induces potent cancer cell-killing activity of cancer cells and FcȖRIII+ (CD16+) immune cells. [00181] In some embodiments, in the combinations the ADCC function of the antibody synergizes with the STING pathway activation and induces potent cancer cell-killing activity of HER2-expressing cancer cells and FcȖRIII+ (CD16+) immune cells. ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 [00182] In some embodiments, the ADCC function of an antibody can be evaluated using co-cultures of cancer cells expressing the target antigen and NK cells as FcȖ-RIII-expressing effector cells. Target+ cancer cells can be co-cultured with NK cells at different target : effector cell ratios in the presence of increasing concentrations of the cancer cell-targeted antibody, Fc- mutant targeted antibody, and non-binding control antibody followed by incubation in a 37 °C, %5 CO2 incubator for 3-4 days. Cancer cell viability can be measured using a cell-titer Glo (CTG) assay normalized to the untreated control co-cultures. IncuCyte cancer cell-killing assay can also be performed to measure cancer cell viability using the target+ cancer cells expressing a nuclear- restricted fluorescent protein, which allows for tracing the fluorescence intensity (cancer cells) over time in an IncuCyte instrument. [00183] In some embodiments, to measure the synergy between the ADCC function of the antibody of interest and the HER2-targeted STING agonist antibody-drug conjugate, HER2+ cancer cells are co-cultured with NK effector cells at a ratio that leads to incomplete killing of cancer cells following treatment with single agents (antibody that has ADCC function alone or the HER2-targeted STING agonist antibody-drug conjugate alone), which would allow for the measurement of the enhanced killing of cancer cells with combination treatment. Due to the immune-mediated concomitant cancer cell-killing activity of HER2-targeted STING agonist antibody-drug conjugate downstream of STING pathway activation, the target of antibody with ADCC function does not have to be expressed on the HER2+ cancer cells. In this case, HER2+ cancer cells can be co-cultured with the target+ cancer cells expressing the fluorescent protein (traced cells) in the presence of NK cells and the cancer cell-killing activity of the HER2-targeted STING agonist antibody-drug conjugate and the antibody of interest as single agents or in combination can be measured using the IncuCyte killing assay as described above.

[00312] In some embodiments, a method for identifying a breast cancer patient amenable to treatment with the combinations of conjugates and NK cell therapy or antibody that has ADCC function disclosed herein, comprise measuring the status of certain characteristics in a tumor sample obtained from the patient, and identifying the patient for treatment based on the status of certain characteristics in the tumor sample. [00313] Antibodies disclosed herein are also useful in the detection of HER2 in patient samples and accordingly are useful as diagnostics. For example, HER2 antibodies disclosed herein are used in in vitro assays, e.g., ELISA, to detect HER2 levels in a patient sample. [00314] In some embodiments, a HER2 antibody disclosed herein is immobilized on a solid support (e.g., the well(s) of a microtiter plate). The immobilized antibody serves as a capture antibody for any HER2 that may be present in a test sample. Prior to contacting the immobilized ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 antibody with a patient sample, the solid support is rinsed and treated with a blocking agent such as milk protein or albumin to prevent nonspecific adsorption of the analyte. [00315] Subsequently the wells are treated with a test sample suspected of containing the antigen, or with a solution containing a standard amount of the antigen. Such a sample is, e.g., a serum sample from a subject suspected of having levels of circulating antigen considered to be diagnostic of a pathology. After rinsing away the test sample or standard, the solid support is treated with a second antibody that is detectably labeled. The labeled second antibody serves as a detecting antibody. The level of detectable label is measured, and the concentration of HER2 antigen in the test sample is determined by comparison with a standard curve developed from the standard samples. [00316] It will be appreciated that based on the results obtained using the HER2 antibody disclosed herein in an in vitro diagnostic assay, it is possible to stage a disease in a subject based on expression levels of the HER2 antigen. For a given disease, samples of blood are taken from subjects diagnosed as being at various stages in the progression of the disease, and/or at various points in the therapeutic treatment of the disease. Using a population of samples that provides statistically significant results for each stage of progression or therapy, a range of concentrations of the antigen that may be considered characteristic of each stage is designated.

Frozen human ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were thawed according to the supplier’s instructions (StemCell Technologies) and were added to each well (40,000 PBMCs/well in 50 μL media) and the plate was placed in an IncuCyte© live cell imaging instrument in an incubator (37 ºC, 5% O2), scanned every 4 hours over 4 days. Red object area (MDA-MB-231-NR cancer cells) over time was quantified using IncuCyte Zoom software. Percent viable cells were calculated relative to the average of the red object area of control (untreated) wells. Dose response curves were generated using GraphPad Prism software. IC50 values were determined from a four-parameter curve fitting by the Prism. [00408] Table 1 provides the IC50 values of the indicated treatments for percent viable MDA-MB-231-NR cells in co-cultures with SKBR3 cells at 0:1, 1:1, and 1:4 ratio in the presence of PBMCs. XMT-2056 induced killing of MDA-MB-231-NR cells at low levels in the absence of SKBR3 cells with an IC50 of 1.94 nM, which was increased by > 200-fold with addition of SKBR3 cells at a 1:1 or 1:4 ratio. On the other hand, the free agonist payload (JM) induced similar levels of killing in MDA-MB-231-NR cells regardless of the ratio of SKBR3 cells. Control-ADC did not induce significant killing activity. XMT-2056 does not induce any killing in cancer cells in the absence of PBMCs. The experiment was repeated with a different range of doses (0.005 nM to 6.25 nM) of XMT-2056, non-binding control ADC and free payload. XMT-2056 induced killing of the MDA-MB-231-NR cells with an IC50 of >6.25 nM, 0.34nM and 0.25nM in the 0:1, 1:4, and 1:1 (SKBR3 : MDA-MB-231-NR) cocultures, respectively. Neither treatment with free STING agonist payload nor with non-binding control ADC resulted in any cancer cell killing activity at any concentration tested. Taken together, these results demonstrate the ability of XMT-2056 to induce immune-mediated killing of HER2 negative/low expressing tumor cells, an effect which is greatly increased (e.g., up to 200-fold) when strongly HER2-expressing cells are also present, even when the highly expressing cells represent only 20% of the tumor cell population. These data demonstrate the immune-mediated concomitant killing of HER2-negative / ultra-low cancer cells by XMT-2056 in the presence of HER2-expressing cancer cells in a target-dependent manner.

[00409] Binding of XMT-1519 (unconjugated parental antibody) to SKBR3 and MDA- MB-231-NR cells was determined by flow cytometry analysis and used as a proxy for HER2 expression levels in these cell lines. Cells were plated in 96 well U-bottom plates, at a density of 50,000 cells/well in DMEM with 6% normal goat serum and incubated on ice for 2-3 hours with increasing concentrations of XMT-1519 (0.024 nM to 400 nM with 4-fold serial dilutions) in DMEM with 6% normal goat serum. The cells were washed with ice cold PBS, pelleted at 1,000 × RPM, resuspended in DMEM with 2% goat serum, and incubated with a secondary fluorescently labeled antibody, Alexa Fluor® 647-labelled goat anti-human IgG (6 ^g/mL) for 1 hour on ice. The cells were washed once with ice cold PBS, resuspended in ice cold PBS with 1% paraformaldehyde (150^L) and run on a MACSQuant Flow Cytometer. Data analysis was performed using FlowJo software using the fcs data files. Geometric mean values for each treatment were plotted, and EC50 values were calculated with GraphPad Prism software by four- parameter curve fitting. [00410] Table 2 provides the EC50 (cell binding) and Bmax (maximum fluorescence / geometric mean) values for XMT-1519 binding to SKBR3 and MDA-MB-231-NR cells. XMT- 1519 bound to SKBR3 cells strongly with an EC50 value of 4.2 nM, whereas no significant binding to MDA-MB-231-NR cells was observed demonstrating the ultra-low expression of HER2 on these cells compared to the expression on SKBR3 cells.

Example 2: XMT-2056 elicits significant cancer cell-killing activity in HER2+ cancer cell and FcȖ-RI-depleted PBMC co-cultures ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 [00411] The cancer cell-killing ability of (i) XMT-2056, (ii) Fc-mutant XMT-1519 ADC and (iii) non-binding control ADC in HER2+ SKBR3-NR cells co-cultured with (A) PBMCs, (B) PBMCs depleted of FcȖ-RI expressing cells (CD14+ monocytes), and (C) PBMCs co-depleted of FcȖ-RI+ and FcȖ-RIII+ immune cells was evaluated using the IncuCyte killing assay (T=84 hours) as described in Example 1. The results showed that XMT-2056 exhibited significant cancer cell- killing activity in HER2+ cancer cells co-cultured with PBMCs, which was partially retained when PBMCs were depleted of FcȖ-RI expressing cells in an Fc-effector function dependent manner. This cancer cell-killing activity is completely abrogated by co-depletion of FcȖ-RI+ and FcȖ-RIII+ immune cells thereby suggesting an ADCC function. Flow cytometry assay confirmed the efficient removal of FcȖ-RI+ or FcȖ-RIII+ cells from human PBMCs using positive selection magnetic beads. SKBR3-NR cells were generated as described in Example 1. [00412] FIG.1 A, B, and C plots the percent viable cancer cells as a function of the payload concentration and shows that XMT-2056 exhibits significant cancer cell-killing activity in HER2+ cancer cells co-cultured with PBMCs, which was partially retained when PBMCs were depleted of FcȖ-RI expressing cells in an Fc-effector function dependent manner. Example 3: XMT-2056 ADCC function synergizes with STING pathway activation [00413] The cancer cell-killing ability of (i) XMT-2056 (ii) XMT-1519, (iii) STING agonist payload, (iv) combination of XMT-1519 and STING agonist payload, and (v) combination of Fc- mutant XMT-1519 and STING agonist payload in SKBR3-NR cancer cells co-cultured with (A) PBMCs, (B) PBMCs depleted of FcȖ-RI expressing cells (CD14+ monocytes), and (C) PBMCs co- depleted of FcȖ-RI+ and FcȖ-RIII+ immune cells was evaluated using an IncuCyte killing assay as described in Example 1. The results show that the XMT-2056 activity was greater than that of XMT-1519 thereby suggesting an additional contribution of the STING pathway activation mediated by the STING agonist payload. A combination of XMT-1519 and STING agonist payload enhanced the cancer cell-killing activity, demonstrating a synergy between the ADCC function of the XMT-1519 (antibody in XMT-2056) and the STING pathway activation. The XMT-2056 response remained more potent highlighting the contribution of the ADC to more effectively delivering the STING agonist payload. XMT-2056 and XMT-1519 (wt) activity was abrogated with co-depletion of FcȖ-RI+ & FcȖ-RIII+ cells. ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 [00414] FIG.2 A, B, and C plots the percent viable cancer cells as a function of the payload concentration and shows that the ADCC function of XMT-2056 synergizes with the STING pathway activation. Example 4: XMT-2056-mediated STING pathway activation in myeloid cells and cancer cells synergizes with trastuzumab-mediated ADCC function in NK cell co-cultures [00415] Cancer cell-killing ability of the trastuzumab alone or in the presence of conditioned media (CM) harvested from HER2+ cancer cell and myeloid cell co-cultures treated (24 hours) with 20 nM or 2 nM Fc-mutant XMT-1519 ADC was evaluated using an IncuCyte killing assay as described in Example 1. SKBR3-NR cells (15 K) were co-cultured with NK cells (15 K) in the presence of (A) 20 nM CM or (B) 2 nM CM and treated with (i) trastuzumab without CM (serves as no CM control), (ii) non-binding control mAb with CM, and (iii) trastuzumab with CM. The ADCC-mediated cancer cell-killing activity induced by trastuzumab in cancer cell and NK cell co-cultures was significantly enhanced in the presence of CM (20 nM), demonstrating that the soluble factors released from the cancer cell and myeloid cell co-cultures downstream of STING pathway activation (Fc-mutant XMT-1519 ADC treatment) potentiates the ADCC activity of NK cells. [00416] FIG. 3 A and B plots the percent viable cancer cells as a function of the antibody concentration and shows that XMT-2056-mediated STING pathway activation in myeloid cell and cancer cell co-cultures synergizes with trastuzumab-mediated ADCC activity in NK cell co- cultures. Example 5: XMT-2056-mediated STING activation synergizes with ADCC function of trastuzumab and confers combination benefit in cancer cell and NK cell co-cultures in vitro [00417] The synergy between XMT-2056-mediated STING pathway activation and the ADCC function of trastuzumab as a combination treatment was investigated in co-cultures of cancer cells and myeloid cells vs NK cells using the IncuCyte killing assay as described in Example 1. SKBR3-NR cells were co-cultured with (A) myeloid cells (monocytes isolated from PBMCs) or (B) NK cells in the presence of (i) XMT-2056, (ii) combination of XMT-2056 and trastuzumab, (iii) combination of XMT-2056 and Fc mutant trastuzumab (iv) non-binding control ADC or (v) combination of non-binding control ADC and trastuzumab and the cancer cells were traced in an ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 IncuCyte instrument. The results indicate that the combination of XMT-2056 and trastuzumab shows benefit specifically in the NK cell but not in myeloid cell co-cultures, and this benefit is dependent on the trastuzumab Fc-effector function as well as binding to a non-competing epitope of HER2 (the combination of XMT-2056 and the XMT-1519 antibody, which binds to the same epitope as XMT-2056, does not exhibit the same synergistic effect in NK cell co-cultures as seen with the combination of XMT-2056 and trastuzumab (FIG.4 C)). [00418] FIG. 4 A, B, and C plots the percent viable cancer cells as a function of the antibody concentration. Example 6: Tumor Growth Response to Administration of HER2 STING Agonist Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Combination with Trastuzumab in SKOV3 Ovarian Cancer [00419] Female CB.17 SCID mice were inoculated subcutaneously with SKOV3 human ovarian cancer cells (10 x 106 cells/mouse). SKOV3 cells are an ovarian cancer cell line having high HER2 expression. Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 63 - 113 mm3 (mean = 82.8 - 84 mm3/group). The vehicle, XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg), trastuzumab (3 mg/kg), a combination of XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg) and trastuzumab (3 mg/kg), a combination of XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg) and Fc-mutant trastuzumab (3 mg/kg) or a combination of XMT-1519 (0.3 mg/kg) and trastuzumab (3 mg/kg) were dosed qwkx3 on days 1, 8 and 15. XMT-2056 was dosed intravenously (IV); XMT-1519, trastuzumab and Fc- mutant trastuzumab were dosed intraperitoneally (IP); XMT-2056 doses are given as antibody/payload; n=10 for each group. The data demonstrate that the mechanism of XMT-2056 and trastuzumab combination benefit is dependent on the Fc-effector function of trastuzumab. [00420] FIG. 5 provides the results for the tumor volumes of SKOV3 tumor-bearing mice treated with vehicle, XMT-2056, trastuzumab, a combination of XMT-2056and trastuzumab, or a combination of XMT-2056 and Fc-mutant trastuzumab. Treatment with XMT-2056 (0.30/ 0.013 mg/kg, qwkx3) resulted in 1 PR, 2 CR and no TFS. Treatment with XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg, qwkx3) and trastuzumab (3 mg/kg, qwkx3) resulted in 9 CR, all of which were TFS. Treatment with XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg, qwkx3) and Fc-mutant trastuzumab (3 mg/kg, qwkx3) resulted in 3 CR and no TFS. Treatment with trastuzumab (3 mg/kg, qwkx3) or combination of ^ Attorney Docket No. MRSN-043/001WO 322140-2698 XMT-1519 (0.3 mg/kg) (matched to XMT-2056 mAb dose) and trastuzumab (3 mg/kg)did not result in any significant anti-tumor activity. Example 7: Tumor Growth Response to Administration of HER2 STING Agonist Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Combination with XMT-1519 in SKOV3 Ovarian Cancer [00421] Female CB.17 SCID mice were inoculated subcutaneously with SKOV3 human ovarian cancer cells (10 x 106 cells/mouse). SKOV3 cells are an ovarian cancer cell line having high HER2 expression. Animals were randomized into treatment groups when tumor volumes were between 63 - 113 mm3 (mean = 82.8 - 84 mm3/group). The vehicle, XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg), XMT-1519 (3 mg/kg), a combination of XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg) and XMT-1519 (3 mg/kg), or a combination of XMT-2056 (0.30/0.013 mg/kg) and Fc-mutant XMT-1519 (3 mg/kg) were dosed qwkx3 on days 1, 8 and 15. XMT-2056 was dosed intravenously (IV); XMT- 1519 and Fc-mutant XMT-1519 were dosed intraperitoneally (IP); XMT-2056 doses are given as antibody / payload; n=10 for each group. The data demonstrate that combination of XMT-2056 with the XMT-1519 is not beneficial in this model, indicating the requirement of the mAb-binding to a non-competing epitope on HER2 for synergy between XMT-2056 and the ADCC effector function of the mAb. [00422] FIG. 6 provides the results for the tumor volumes of SKOV3 tumor-bearing mice treated with vehicle, XMT-2056, XMT-1519, a combination of XMT-2056 and XMT-1519, or a combination of XMT-2056 and Fc-mutant XMT-1519.
