  • an antibody e.g. monospecific antibody or bispecific antibody
  • a fusion peptide fused to the N-terminus or the C-terminus of the first heavy chain polypeptide or the second heavy chain polypeptide.
  • T cell activation Critical to the initial T cell response is the capacity for T cells to detect foreign and mutated proteins through their T cell receptor.
  • This response often referred to as signal 1 of T cell activation, occurs when the T cell receptor engages a cell that displays a foreign or mutated protein fragment or antigen in a specific protein complex called the Major Histocompatibility Complex I (MHCI).
  • MHCI Major Histocompatibility Complex I
  • the activation of the T cell receptor is by itself both activating and auto-regulatory to T cells. Strong binding of the TCR to an MHCI complex creates chronic activation of the TCR.
  • This form of signal is associated with T cells that are reactive to self-antigens. T cells are programed to inactivate when they experience this form activation. T cells with TCR that bind weaker, but sufficient for activation, experience acute signaling with the potential to remain active and differentiate into memory T cells. This is emerging as important consideration in the design the T cell therapeutics.
  • T cell cytokine activation is important in T cell transitions, either from non-dividing to a state of rapid cell division or from one phenotypic state to another.
  • T cell cytokine receptors bind to cytokines that are produced by immune and non- immune cells and depending on the cytokine and the state of the T cell at the time of receiving the cytokine signal can induce cell proliferation, can sustain vitality, or can induce differentiation of T cells into a specialized cell state appropriate for sustained activation or inactivation following infection.
  • cytokines which can induce naive T cells to proliferate and promote T cell differentiation into memory T cells.
  • cytokines include but are not limited to IL-2, IL-7, IL- 10, IL- 12, IL- 15, IL- 18 and IL-21.
  • Costimulatory receptor activation referred to as signal 2 provides a context specific cell-to-cell reinforcement of T activation.
  • the most recognized form of costimulation occurs when T cells interact with activated antigen presenting cells through the T cell costimulatory receptor CD28 with CD80 and CD86 ligands found on APCs. These interactions can “prime” specific T cells armed with T cell receptors responsive to pathogen or cancer proteins.
  • costimulation induced at the site of infection and malignancies This includes costimulation that acts through CD2 and NKG2D receptors responsive to ligands like CD58 and ULI 6 binding proteins (e.g. ULBP2/5/6) that are induced in immune cells and epithelial cells upon viral infection. These signals provide not only reinforcement of T activation, but confirmation that the T cell’s lethal effector activities are targeted with single cell accuracy. While many costimulatory receptors have been discovered, the importance of each receptor’s specific context and the impact of concurrent signaling of multiple costimulatory receptors remains largely unknown and an area to greatly advance our understanding of T cell biology and creating possibilities for novel tumor-targeted T cell therapeutic development.
  • Costimulatory ligands include but are not limited to CD48, CD58, CD86, TNFSF9, OX40L, 4-1BBL, GITL, CD70, CD80, MR1, TNFSF4, ICOSL or ICOSLG.
  • CD58 is advantageous over other costimulatory ligands in that it is the primary costimulatory pathway available at the tumor site as tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes often lose expression of other costimulatory receptors like CD28, or due to the low immunogenicity of tumor cells, tumor cells do not sufficiently activate T cell, thus limiting the potential of inducible costimulatory receptors like 41BB.
  • the anti-CD3s antibodies of the disclosure induce varying levels of T cell receptor activation that confer alteration in T cell vitality and cytokine production. Accordingly, a fusion of the costimulatory ligand CD58 to the anti-CD3s bispecific antibody provides integrated costimulatory T cell activation for optimal T cell activation.

  • Example 1 Enrichment of ULBP2 in the basal/squamous lineage that is inherent to specific subtypes of cancer
  • A549, 5637, CORL105, FADU, NCIH292 cell lines were obtained from ATCC and Sigma. They were engineered with GFP-Luc via lentivirus (BPS) for ease of tracking in killing assays.
  • Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer with Halt protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Pierce), and then quantified for protein content using a BCA assay (Pierce). Lysates were normalized, denatured and reduced in 4X SDS buffer (Pierce) and run on 4-12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE. Gels were transferred onto PVDF membranes (iBlot2) and blocked in LiCOR blocking buffer.
  • Example 2 Basal/squamous Indication or subtypes showing enrichment of ULBP2 have higher immune infiltration
  • the gene SERP1NB3 that has been associated with squamous indications at the soluble level is also clearly higher in the basal/squamous subtype (FIG. 4D). Furthermore, the basal/squamous subtype is associated with immune infiltration as can be seen by enrichment of PD-L1 (FIG. 5A), PD1 (FIG. 5B), CD8A (FIG. 5C), and Granzyme B (FIG. 5D) over the luminal subtypes. This means that not only was ULBP2 enriched in the basal/squamous subtype of bladder cancer, but those patients also had increased immune infiltration in their tumor, making it an ideal tumor microenvironment for a T-cell engager.
  • NSCLC For lung cancer, histological assessment defines NSCLC into either adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Gene expression normalized reads were aggregated from both the TCGA adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma into a larger NSCLC subset. From this data, when broken up by indication, ULBP2 (FIG. 6A) was much higher expressed in the squamous cell indication. This is less true for TROP2 (FIG. 6B) and NECTIN4 (FIG. 6D), while HER2 (FIG. 6C) was much more enriched in lung adenocarcinoma, consistent with it being used as a luminal marker.
  • FIG. 7A luminal genes FOXA1 (FIG. 7A) and PPARG (FIG. 7B) and the squamous gene KRT5 (FIG. 7C).
  • SERPINB3 also clearly showed an enrichment in lung squamous cell and not lung adenocarcinoma (FIG. 7D). While lung cancer did not show as much infiltration in the basal/squamous indication, there was some trend towards more immune infiltration in that indication (PD-L1: FIG. 8A; Granzyme B: FIG. 8D) and even those that were slightly higher in adenocarcinoma (PD1: FIG. 8B; CD8A: FIG.
  • Example 3 ULBP2 targeted therapies are improved with combinations with PD1/PDL1 blockade.
  • PBMC-mediated cytotoxicity assays [0511] PBMCs were isolated from healthy donor leukopaks following standard procedure and frozen. Human tumor cells were seeded at 10,000 cells per well in 96-well tissue culture plates (Perkin Elmer) and incubated for 24 hours at 37 C with 5 % CO2. On the following day, PBMCs were thawed using benzonase and two spins with complete media. PBMCs (150,000) were added to tumor cells in the presence of titrated EIP0820 or EIP0607 control antibodies and either pembrolizumab (IgG4 antibody against PD1 used extensively in the clinic) or the IgG4 control at 2 ug/mL, and incubated for up to 5 days.
  • EIP0820 or EIP0607 control antibodies either pembrolizumab (IgG4 antibody against PD1 used extensively in the clinic) or the IgG4 control at 2 ug/mL
  • Example 4 ULBP2 levels are increased with specific chemotherapies that impart DNA damage to the cell; thereby, ULBP2 targeted therapies are improved in combination with specific chemotherapy agents.
  • Cell lines (A549, 5637) were plated at 10,000 per well in a 96-well plate. 24 h after seeding, chemotherapies at a range of concentrations were added to the cells. After 72 h, the cells were read out using CellTiter Gio (Promega) to determine EC50 of cell arrest/killing. At those EC50s for each chemotherapy and each cell line, surface levels of ULBP2, TROP2, HER2, CD58, PDL1, and B7H4 were determined using analytical flow cytometry (BD Symphony A5) and an 8-color panel. Appropriate isotype controls for each antibody were also utilized to subtract background fluorescence levels. Samples were analyzed on FlowJo and graphed in GraphPad Prism.
  • ULBP2 was the most differentially upregulated in two different cell lines (FIG. 10A-10B).
  • chemotherapies that induced a DNA damage response such as the topoisomerase inhibitor irinotecan, anthracycline doxorubicin, DNA break inducing antibiotic bleomycin, pyrimidine antagonist gemcitabine (“gem”), and platinum alkylating agent cisplatin (“cis”) increased ULBP2 levels significantly as compared to the microtubule-targeting taxane docetaxel and vinca alkaloid vinblastine.
  • chemotherapies increased PDL1 non- specifically in both cell lines and a few other targets were specifically induced by certain chemotherapies but only in one cell line. Therefore, patient treatment of specific DNA-damaging chemotherapies can increase efficacy of ULBP2-targeting biologies either in cotreatment or subsequent treatment.
  • EIP0820 Concurrent or sequential administration of EIP0820 with chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors can increase UEBP2 expression and thereby EIP0820 efficacy.
  • Another standard of care, used in both lung and bladder cancers, that can be combined with EIP0820 is adaptive radiotherapy.
  • Previous publications (Gasser et al. Nature Fetters 2005 doi:10.1038/nature03884) confirm increased NKG2D ligands, including UEBP2, after in vitro exposure to ionizing radiation. Therefore, the data indicate that combinations subsequently or concurrently with multiple therapies are possible and warranted for EIP0820.
  • Example 5 Expression of ULBP2 is associated with squamous subtypes within indication and between indications.
  • esophageal cancer could also be histologically divided into adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Evaluating ULBP2 levels in patient tumor samples showed that expression is well correlated with squamous subtype in this indication (FIG. 13).
  • any squamous indications (such as thymic squamous cell carcinoma, anal squamous cell carcinoma, vulvar carcinoma), including ones of rare nature that may not be part of TCGA, likely also have high UEBP2 expression and can therefore be easily targeted by EIP0820.
  • ULBP2 is strongly associated with basal/squamous molecular subtype and CD8 T cell infiltration.
  • Example 6 Expression of ULBP2 in tumors does not change in metastatic samples.
  • Example 7 Tumor ULBP2 expression is higher in HPV negative patients in head and neck cancers.
  • Example 8 Patients with higher stage/grade have higher tumor ULBP2.
  • Example 9 Standard of Care (SOC) of cancer do not decrease tumor ULBP2 expression levels in patients.
  • FIGs. 18A-18B Tumors from patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy were assessed for whether ULBP2 levels change after treatment.
  • treatment with the anti-PDl checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab did not change average ULBP2 levels (FIGs. 18A-18B).
  • FIG. 18C For lung cancer datasets, either paired (FIG. 18C) or unpaired (FIG. 18D), there was no change in ULBP2 level in the tumor with various PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors.
  • FIG. 18C paired
  • FIG. 18D unpaired
  • there was no change in ULBP2 level in the tumor with various PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors For lung cancer dataset GSE248378, squamous and adeno pathology subtypes were divided, and the effect of the anti-PDLl checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab was assessed. A significant change in either subtype was not observed (FIGs.
  • Example 10 Patients with EGER mutations and patients that ultimately receive TKIs have higher ULBP2 levels.
  • Lung adenocarcinoma patients that have EGFR mutations typically receive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). While ULBP2 expression was not observed to be significantly higher in patient tumors with higher EGFR expression (FIG. 19A), it was significantly higher in patient tumors with EGFR mutations, as seen in the TCGA dataset (FIG. 19B). It was also higher in patients with EGFR copy number alterations (FIG. 19C). Most of the patients with mutations have activating EGFR mutations and go on to receive TKIs.
  • TKIs tyrosine kinase inhibitors
  • Example 11 Squamous subtypes in bladder cancer have more CD3+ T cells
  • TMA tumor microarray
  • TAA tumor microarray of bladder cancer
  • Biocare Medical EP41 an anti-CD3 antibody
  • the staining was quantified to determine a CD3+ cell density score for each core.
  • squamous cell indications not only had higher ULBP2/5/6 expression, but also had higher CD3+ T cell infiltration (as described in Example 3), which are ideal conditions for treatment with for the T cell engager EIP0820.
  • Example 12 Rare squamous cancers also have high ULBP2 expression.
  • Vulvar cancer samples had higher ULBP2 expression than normal vulvar tissue and higher UBP2 expression in the tumor than either cervical or endometrial carcinomas (FIG. 21B). Furthermore, the association between ULBP2 expression and HPV negative status observed in head and neck cancers also held true in vulvar carcinoma (FIG. 21C). The extension of ULBP2 expression to these rarer squamous cancers indicates that EIP0820 can be efficacious in any squamous indication, including not only anal squamous cell carcinoma and vulvar cancer, but also penile cancer, thymic squamous cell carcinoma, skin cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and others.
