Definitions
- Chronic TAO is a phase of inactive TAO that may be characterized in a subject having received an initial diagnosis of TAO 2-10 years prior to screening, with a Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of ⁇ 1 in both eyes for at least one year prior to screening or all of the following one year prior to screening, and having no progression in proptosis, no progression in diplopia and no new inflammatory TAO symptoms.
- the cause of TAO is unknown.
- TAO is typically associated with Graves' hyperthyroidism, but can also occur as part of other autoimmune conditions that affect the thyroid gland and produce pathology in orbital and periorbital tissue, and, rarely, the pretibial skin (pretibial myxedema) or digits (thyroid acropachy).
- TAO is an autoimmune orbitopathy in which the orbital and periocular soft tissues are primarily affected with secondary effects on the eye and vision.
- TAO as a result of inflammation and expansion of orbital soft tissues, primarily eye muscles and adipose, the eyes are forced forward (bulge) out of their sockets— a phenomenon termed proptosis or exophthalmos.
- proptosis or exophthalmos a phenomenon termed proptosis or exophthalmos.
- TAO may precede, coincide with, or follow the systemic complications of dysthyroidism.
- TAO ocular manifestations of TAO include upper eyelid retraction, lid lag, swelling, redness (erythema), conjunctivitis, and bulging eyes (exophthalmos or proptosis), chemosis, periorbital edema, and altered ocular motility with significant functional, social, and cosmetic consequences.
- the adipose tissue volume increases owing in part to new fat cell development (adipogenesis) within the orbital fat.
- hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans primarily hyaluronic acid
- Hyaluronic acid is produced by fibroblasts residing within the orbital fat and extraocular muscles, and its synthesis in vitro is stimulated by several cytokines and growth factors, including IL-ip, interferon-gamma, platelet- derived growth factor, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF- 1).

- the antibodies can be generated according to the examples provided herein. Once the sequences are known, the antibodies can also be generated according to known methods. The antibodies can also be converted to different types, such as being converted to Human IgGs and the like. By converting the antibodies to a human antibody, a human subject should not identify the antibodies as foreign. The conversion of a non-human IgG antibody to a human IgG antibody is well known and can routinely be done once the native sequence is known. As discussed herein, the antibodies can be modified according to known methods. Such methods are described in, for example, Riechmann et al. (1988) “Reshaping human antibodies for therapy,” Nature 332(6162):332-323; Tsurushita et al.
- the antibody-producing cell contributing the nucleotide sequences encoding the antigen-binding region of the chimeric antibody can also be produced by transformation of a non-human, such as a primate, or a human cell.

- a convenient alternative to the use of chromosomal gene fragments as the source of DNA encoding the V region antigen-binding segment is the use of cDNA for the construction of chimeric immunoglobulin genes, e.g., as reported by Liu et al. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA 84:3439 and Liu et al. (1987) J. Immunology 139:3521, which references are hereby entirely incorporated herein by reference.
- cDNA requires that gene expression elements appropriate for the host cell be combined with the gene in order to achieve synthesis of the desired protein.
- the use of cDNA sequences is advantageous over genomic sequences (which contain introns) because cDNA sequences can be expressed in bacteria or other hosts which lack appropriate RNA splicing systems.
- a cDNA encoding a V region antigen-binding segment able to detect, bind, or neutralize a IGF-1R antigen can be provided using known methods based on the use of the amino acid sequences provided herein. Because the genetic code is degenerate, more than one codon can be used to encode a particular amino acid (Watson, et al., infra). Using the genetic code, one or more different oligonucleotides can be identified, each of which would be capable of encoding the amino acid.
- the probability that a particular oligonucleotide will, in fact, constitute the actual XXX-encoding sequence can be estimated by considering abnormal base pairing relationships and the frequency with which a particular codon is actually used (to encode a particular amino acid) in eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells expressing an antibody or fragment.
- Such “codon usage rules” are disclosed by Lathe et al. (1985) J Molec Biol. 183: 1-12. Using the “codon usage rules” of Lathe, a single oligonucleotide, or a set of oligonucleotides, that contains a theoretical “most probable” nucleotide sequence capable of encoding an antibody variable or constant region sequences is identified.

- the CH region is derived from gamma 1 (IgGl), gamma 3 (IgG3), gamma 4 (IgG4), or p (IgM).
- the human CL region can be derived from either human L chain isotype, kappa or lambda.
- the antibody comprises a Fc domain.
- the Fc domain comprises a mutation to extend the half-life of the antibody.
- the Fc domain comprises a mutation such as those described in U.S.
- the constant region comprises a mutation at position at amino acid residue position 428 relative to a wild-type human IgG constant domain, numbered according to the EU numbering index of Kabat.
- an antibody comprising a mutation that corresponds to residue 428 can have an increased halflife as compared to the half-life of an IgG having the wild-type human IgG constant domain.
- the mutation is a substitution of the native residue with a threonine, leucine, phenylalanine or serine.
- the antibody further comprises one or more amino acid substitutions relative to the corresponding wild-type human IgG constant domain at one or more of amino acid residues 251-256, 285-290, 308-314, 385-389, and 429-436, numbered according to the Kabat EU numbering index.
- amino acid residues 251-256, 285-290, 308-314, 385-389, and 429-436 numbered according to the Kabat EU numbering index.

- the antibodies, murine, human, humanized, or chimeric antibodies, fragments and regions of the antibodies described herein are produced by cloning DNA segments encoding the H and L chain antigen-binding regions of a IGF-1R antigen specific antibody, and joining these DNA segments to DNA segments encoding CH and CL regions, respectively, to produce murine, human, or chimeric immunoglobulin-encoding genes.
- a fused chimeric gene which comprises a first DNA segment that encodes at least the antigen-binding region of non-human origin, such as a functionally rearranged V region with joining (J) segment, linked to a second DNA segment encoding at least a part of a human C region.
- cDNA encoding the antibody V and C regions the method of producing the antibody according to some of the embodiments described herein involve several steps, as exemplified below: 1. Isolation of messenger RNA (mRNA) from the cell line producing an anti- IGF-1R antigen antibody and from optional additional antibodies supplying heavy and light constant regions; cloning and cDNA production therefrom; 2. Preparation of a full length cDNA library from purified mRNA from which the appropriate V and/or C region gene segments of the L and H chain genes can be: (i) identified with appropriate probes, (ii) sequenced, and (iii) made compatible with a C or V gene segment from another antibody for a chimeric antibody; 3.
- mRNA messenger RNA
- Two coding DNA sequences are said to be “operably linked” if the linkage results in a continuously translatable sequence without alteration or interruption of the triplet reading frame.

- antibodies exhibiting high therapeutic indices are desirable.
- the data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosages for use in humans.
- the dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity.
- the dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration.

- the liposomes will be targeted to and taken up selectively by the afflicted tissue.
- the administration regimen depends on several factors, including the serum or tissue turnover rate of the therapeutic antibody, the level of symptoms, the immunogenicity of the therapeutic antibody, and the accessibility of the target cells in the biological matrix.
- the administration regimen delivers sufficient therapeutic antibody to effect improvement in the target disease state, while simultaneously minimizing undesired side effects.
- the amount of biologic delivered depends in part on the particular therapeutic antibody and the severity of the condition being treated. Guidance in selecting appropriate doses of therapeutic antibodies is available (see, e.g., Wawrzynczak (1996) Antibody Therapy, Bios Scientific Pub.
- Determination of the appropriate dose is made by the clinician, e.g., using parameters or factors known or suspected in the art to affect treatment. Generally, the dose begins with an amount somewhat less than the optimum dose and it is increased by small increments thereafter until the desired or optimum effect is achieved relative to any negative side effects.
- Important diagnostic measures include those of symptoms of, e.g., the inflammation or level of inflammatory cytokines produced.
- a biologic that will be used is derived from the same species as the animal targeted for treatment, thereby minimizing any immune response to the reagent.

- methods or uses are provided to reduce proptosis by at least 2 mm and b) reducing the clinical activity score (CAS) in a subject with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).
- CAS clinical activity score
- TEO thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy
- Clinical Activity Score refers to the protocol described and scored according to Table 3. According to this protocol, one point is given for the presence of each of the parameters assessed in Table 3, below. The sum of all points defines clinical activity and provides the CAS, where 0 or 1 constitutes inactive disease and 7 severe active ophthalmopathy. [00327] Table 3. Parameters for calculating Clinical Activity Score
- the CAS consists of seven components: spontaneous retrobulbar pain, pain on attempted eye movements (upward, side-to-side, and downward gazes), conjunctival redness, redness of the eyelids, chemosis, swelling of the caruncle/plica, and swelling of the eyelids.
- Each component is scored as present (1 point) or absent (0 points).
- the score at each efficacy assessment is the sum of all items present; giving a range of 0-7, where 0 or 1 constitutes inactive disease and 7 severe active ophthalmopathy. A change of >2 points is considered clinically meaningful.
- the “stretching pain” cannot be provoked by digital pressing on the eyeball, as would be expected if it were a manifestation of the raised intraorbital pressure. Both kinds of pain can be reduced after anti-inflammatory treatment. These kinds of pain are therefore considered to be directly related to autoimmune inflammation in the orbit and thus useful in assessing TAO activity.
- Swelling in TAO is seen as chemosis (edema of the conjunctiva), item no. 6 in Table 3, and swelling of the caruncle and/or plica semilunaris. Both are signs of TAO activity. Swollen eyelids can be caused by edema, fat prolapse through the orbital septum, or fibrotic degeneration. In addition to swelling, other symptoms indicative of active TAO include redness and/or pain of the conjunctiva, eyelid, caruncle and/or plica semilunaris.
- the subject who is treated has the proptosis is reduced by at least 2 mm. In some embodiments, the subject who is treated has the proptosis is reduced by at least 3 mm. In some embodiments, the subject who is treated has the proptosis is reduced by at least 4 mm.

- Mild Thyroid Eye Disease Patients whose features of thyroid eye disease have only a minor impact on daily life insufficient to justify immunosuppressive or surgical treatment. They usually have only one or more of the following: minor lid retraction ( ⁇ 2 mm), mild soft tissue involvement, exophthalmos ⁇ 3 mm above normal for race and gender, transient or no diplopia, and corneal exposure responsive to lubricants.
- the GO- QoL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire divided into 2 subsets and used to assess the perceived effects of TED by the subjects on (i) their daily physical activity as it relates to visual function, and (ii) psychosocial functioning.

- the GO-QoL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire divided into two self-assessment subscales; one covering impact of visual function on daily activities, the other assesses the impact of self-perceived appearance.
- the visual function subscale covers activities such as driving, walking outdoors, reading, watching television.

- the combined score takes raw scores from both subscales and again transforms them to a single 0-100 scale.
- Patients can also be assessed by the presence of absence of Gorman Grading of Diplopia.
- the Gorman assessment of subjective diplopia includes four categories: no diplopia (absent), diplopia when the patient is tired or awakening (intermittent), diplopia at extremes of gaze (inconstant), and continuous diplopia in the primary or reading position (constant). Patients are scored according to which grade of diplopia they are experiencing. An improvement of greater than equal or to 1 grade is considered clinically meaningful.

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF THYROID EYE DISEASE
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Application No. 63/619,033, filed January 9, 2024, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), also known as thyroid eye disease (TED), Graves’ ophthalmopathy or orbitopathy (GO), thyrotoxic exophthalmos, dysthyroid ophthalmopathy, and several other terms, is orbitopathy associated with thyroid dysfunction. TAO is divided into two types. Active TAO, which typically lasts 1-3 years, is characterized by an ongoing autoimmune/inflammatory response in the soft tissues of the orbit. Active TAO is responsible for the expansion and remodeling of the ocular soft tissues. The autoimmune/inflammatory response of active TAO spontaneously resolves and the condition transitions into inactive TAO. Inactive TAO is the term used to describe the long-term/permanent sequelae of active TAO. Chronic TAO is a phase of inactive TAO that may be characterized in a subject having received an initial diagnosis of TAO 2-10 years prior to screening, with a Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of <1 in both eyes for at least one year prior to screening or all of the following one year prior to screening, and having no progression in proptosis, no progression in diplopia and no new inflammatory TAO symptoms. The cause of TAO is unknown. TAO is typically associated with Graves' hyperthyroidism, but can also occur as part of other autoimmune conditions that affect the thyroid gland and produce pathology in orbital and periorbital tissue, and, rarely, the pretibial skin (pretibial myxedema) or digits (thyroid acropachy). TAO is an autoimmune orbitopathy in which the orbital and periocular soft tissues are primarily affected with secondary effects on the eye and vision. In TAO, as a result of inflammation and expansion of orbital soft tissues, primarily eye muscles and adipose, the eyes are forced forward (bulge) out of their sockets— a phenomenon termed proptosis or exophthalmos. Although most cases of TAO do not result in loss of vision, this condition can cause vision-threatening exposure keratopathy, troublesome diplopia (double vision), and compressive dysthyroid optic neuropathy. TAO may precede, coincide with, or follow the systemic complications of dysthyroidism. The ocular manifestations of TAO include upper eyelid retraction, lid lag, swelling, redness (erythema), conjunctivitis, and bulging eyes
(exophthalmos or proptosis), chemosis, periorbital edema, and altered ocular motility with significant functional, social, and cosmetic consequences. Many of the signs and symptoms of TAO, including proptosis and ocular congestion, result from expansion of the orbital adipose tissue and periocular muscles. The adipose tissue volume increases owing in part to new fat cell development (adipogenesis) within the orbital fat. The accumulation of hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans, primarily hyaluronic acid, within the orbital adipose tissue and the perimysial connective tissue between the extraocular muscle fibers, further expands the fat compartments and enlarges the extraocular muscle bodies. Hyaluronic acid is produced by fibroblasts residing within the orbital fat and extraocular muscles, and its synthesis in vitro is stimulated by several cytokines and growth factors, including IL-ip, interferon-gamma, platelet- derived growth factor, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF- 1).
[0003] Antibodies that activate the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) have also been detected and implicated in active TAO. Without being bound to any theory, it is believed that TSHR and IGF-1R form a physical and functional complex in orbital fibroblasts, and that blocking IGF-1R appears to attenuate both IGF-1 and TSH-dependent signaling. It has been suggested that blocking IGF-1R using an antibody antagonist might reduce both TSHR- and IGF-1 -dependent signaling and therefore interrupt the pathological activities of autoantibodies acting as agonists on either receptor.
[0004] IGF-IR is a widely expressed heterotetrameric protein involved in the regulation of proliferation and metabolic function of many cell types. It is a tyrosine kinase receptor comprising two subunits. IGF-IRa contains a ligand-binding domain while IGF-1RP is involved in signaling and contains tyrosine phosphorylation sites.
[0005] Current therapies for hyperthyroidism due to Graves’ disease are imperfect because therapies targeting the specific underlying pathogenic autoimmune mechanisms of the disease are lacking. Even more complex is the treatment of moderate-to-severe active TAO. Although recent years have witnessed a better understanding of its pathogenesis, TAO remains a therapeutic challenge and dilemma. There are no approved drugs to treat active TAO. Intravenous glucocorticoids (ivGCs) and oral glucocorticoids are used to treat patients with moderate-to-severe active TAO, but results are seldom satisfactory. Partial responses are frequent and relapses (rebound) after drug withdrawal are not uncommon. Adverse events do occur and many patients eventually require rehabilitative surgery conducted when their condition
has transitioned to inactive TAO. Accordingly, there is still a need to provide alternative therapies for TAO and its related symptoms.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0078] Provided herein are antibodies that bind and modulate the activity of IGF-1R. The antibodies can be used, for example, to treat thyroid eye disease.
[0079] As used herein, “thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy” (TAO), “thyroid eye disease” (TED), “Graves’ Ophthalmopathy” or “Graves’ Orbitopathy” (GO) refer to the same disorder or condition and are used interchangeably. They all refer to the inflammatory orbital pathology associated with some autoimmune thyroid disorders, most commonly with “Graves’ Disease” (GD), but sometimes with other diseases, e.g., Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
[0080] The terms “proptosis” and “exophthalmos” (also known as exophthalmos, exophthalmia, or exorbitism) refer to the forward projection, displacement, bulging, or protrusion of an organ. As used herein, the terms refer to the forward projection, displacement, bulging, or protrusion of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit. Proptosis and exophthalmos are considered by some of skill in the art to have the same meaning and are often used interchangeably, while others attribute subtle differences to their meanings. Exophthalmos is used by some to refer to severe proptosis; or to refer to endocrine-related proptosis. Yet others
use the term exophthalmos when describing proptosis associated with the eye, in, for example, subjects with TAO (TED or GO).
[0081] As used herein, the terms “proptosis” and “exophthalmos” are used interchangeably and refer to the forward projection, displacement, bulging, or protrusion of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit. Owing to the rigid bony structure of the orbit with only anterior opening for expansion, any increase in orbital soft tissue contents taking place from the side or from behind will displace the eyeball forward. Proptosis or exophthalmos can be the result of a several disease processes including infections, inflammations, tumors, trauma, metastases, endocrine lesions, vascular diseases and extra orbital lesions. TAO (TED or GO) is currently recognized as the most common cause of proptosis in adults. Exophthalmos can be either bilateral, as is often seen in TAO (TED or GO), or unilateral (as is often seen in an orbital tumor).
[0082] Measurement of the degree of exophthalmos can be performed using, for example, an exophthalmometer, an instrument used for measuring the degree of forward displacement of the eye. The device allows measurement of the forward distance of the lateral orbital rim to the front of the cornea. Computed tomography (CT) scanning and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may also be used in evaluating the degree of exophthalmos or proptosis. CT scanning is an excellent imaging modality for the diagnosis of TAO. In addition to allowing visualization of the enlarged extraocular muscles, CT scans provide the surgeon or clinician with depictions of the bony anatomy of the orbit when an orbital decompression is required. MRI, with its multi-planar and inherent contrast capabilities, provides excellent imaging of the orbital contents without the radiation exposure associated with CT scan studies. MRI provides better imaging of the optic nerve, orbital fat, and extraocular muscle, but CT scans provide better views of the bony architecture of the orbit. Orbital ultrasonography can also be a used for the diagnosis and evaluation of TAO, because it can be performed quickly and with a high degree of confidence. High reflectivity and enlargement of the extraocular muscles are assessed easily, and serial ultrasonographic examinations can also be used to assess progression or stability of the ophthalmopathy. Based on the technologies currently available, or that will become available in the future, one of skills in the art would be capable of determining the best modality for diagnosing and evaluating the extent of proptosis or exophthalmos.
[0083] As used herein, the term “antibody” refers to any form of antibody that exhibits the desired biological activity. Thus, it is used in the broadest sense and specifically covers, but is not limited to, monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), humanized, fully
human antibodies, chimeric antibodies and camelized single domain antibodies (e.g., cam elid antibodies). “Parental antibodies” are antibodies obtained by exposure of an immune system to an antigen prior to modification of the antibodies for an intended use, such as humanization of an antibody for use as a human therapeutic antibody.
[0084] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, “antibody fragment” or “antigen binding fragment” refers to antigen binding fragments of antibodies, i.e. antibody fragments that retain the ability to bind specifically to the antigen bound by the full-length antibody, e.g., fragments that retain one or more CDR regions. Examples of antigen binding fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; singlechain antibody molecules, e.g., scFv; nanobodies and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
[0085] A “Fab fragment” is comprised of one light chain and the CHI and variable regions of one heavy chain. The heavy chain of a Fab molecule cannot form a disulfide bond with another heavy chain molecule.
[0086] An “Fc” region contains two heavy chain fragments comprising the CHI and CH2 domains of an antibody. The two heavy chain fragments are held together by two or more disulfide bonds and by hydrophobic interactions of the CH3 domains.
[0087] In some embodiments, the antibodies, or antigen fragments herein, comprise a Fc region. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a mutation that extends the half-life of the antibody when linked to the Fc region. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a S228P, L235E, M252Y, S254T, T256E, M428L, N434S, L234F, P331S mutation, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a M252Y, S254T, and T256E mutations. A non-limiting example of a Fc region comprising the M252Y, S254T, and T256E mutations (collectively, “YTE Mutations”) can be found in a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 89. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprising the YTE Mutations comprises a sequence of SEQ ID NO: 90, which differs from SEQ ID NO: 89 by the presence of a C-terminal lysine (K) residue. The numbering of the Fc region can be according to the Kabat numbering system for the Fc region.
[0088] In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises a S228P and a L235E mutation. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a L234F, L235E, and P331S mutation. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises M252Y, S254T, T256E, S228P and L235E mutations. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises S228P, L235E, M428L, and N434S mutations. In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises the M428L and N434S mutations. In some
embodiments, the Fc region comprises the L234F, L235E, P331S, M252Y, S254T, and T256E mutations. Mutations in the Fc region are also described in US2007041972A1, EP2235059B1, U.S. Patent No. 8,394,925, and Mueller et al. (1997) Mol Immunol. 34(6):441-52, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. The numbering referenced herein refers to the Kabat numbering system for the Fc region.
[0089] In some embodiments, the Fc region comprises the sequence of:

[0090] A “Fab1 fragment” contains one light chain and a portion or fragment of one heavy chain that contains the VH domain and the CHI domain and also the region between the CHI and CH2 domains, such that an interchain disulfide bond can be formed between the two heavy chains of two Fab' fragments to form a F(ab') 2 molecule.
[0091] A “F(ab')2 fragment” contains two light chains and two heavy chains containing a portion of the constant region between the CHI and CH2 domains, such that an interchain disulfide bond is formed between the two heavy chains. A F(ab') 2 fragment thus is composed of two Fab' fragments that are held together by a disulfide bond between the two heavy chains.
[0092] The “Fv region” comprises the variable regions from both the heavy and light chains, but lacks the constant regions.
[0093] The term “single-chain Fv” or “scFv” antibody refers to antibody fragments comprising the VH and VL domains of an antibody, wherein these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain. Generally, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains which enables the scFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding. For a review of scFv, see Pluckthun (1994) THE PHARMACOLOGY OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES, vol. 113, Rosenburg and Moore eds. Springer-Verlag, New York, pp. 269-315. See also International Patent Application Publication No. WO 88/01649 and U.S. Patent Nos. 4,946,778 and 5,260,203.
[0094] A “domain antibody” is an immunologically functional immunoglobulin fragment containing only the variable region of a heavy chain or the variable region of a light chain. In some instances, two or more VH regions are covalently joined with a peptide linker to create a bivalent domain antibody. The two VH regions of a bivalent domain antibody may target the same or different antigens.
[0095] A “bivalent antibody” comprises two antigen binding sites. In some instances, the two binding sites have the same antigen specificities. However, bivalent antibodies may be bispecific (see below).
[0096] In certain embodiments, monoclonal antibodies herein also include camelized single domain antibodies. See, e.g., Muyldermans et al. (2001) Trends Biochem. Sci. 26:230; Reichmann et al. (1999) J. Immunol. Methods 231 :25; International Publication No. WO 94/04678; International Publication No. WO 94/25591; U.S. Patent No. 6,005,079. In some embodiments, the monoclonal antibodies herein are single domain antibodies comprising two VH domains with modifications such that single domain antibodies are formed.
[0097] As used herein, the term “diabodies” refers to small antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, which fragments comprise a heavy chain variable domain (VH) connected to a light chain variable domain (VL) in the same polypeptide chain (VH-VL or VL-VH). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, the domains are forced to pair with the complementary domains of another chain and create two antigenbinding sites. Diabodies are described more fully in, e.g., EP 404,097; International Publication No. WO 93/11161; and Holliger et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. For a review of engineered antibody variants see generally Holliger and Hudson (2005) Nat. Biotechnol. 23 : 1126-1136.
[0098] Typically, a variant antibody or antigen binding fragment of the antibodies provided herein retain at least 10% of its IGF-1R binding activity (when compared to a parental antibody that is modified) when that activity is expressed on a molar basis. In some embodiments, a variant antibody (or antigen fragment thereof), or antigen binding fragment of an antibody provided herein, retains at least 20%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or 100% or more of the IGF-1R binding affinity as the parental antibody. As described herein, it is also intended that an antibody or antigen binding fragment of the invention can include conservative or nonconservative amino acid substitutions, which can also be referred to as “conservative variants” or “function conserved variants” of the antibody, that do not substantially alter its biologic activity.
[0099] “ Isolated antibody” refers to the purification status of a binding compound and in such context means the molecule is substantially free of other biological molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, or other material such as cellular debris and growth media. Generally, the term “isolated” is not intended to refer to a complete absence of such material or to an absence of water, buffers, or salts, unless they are present in amounts that substantially interfere with experimental or therapeutic use of the binding compound as described herein.
[00100] The term “monoclonal antibody”, as used herein, refers to population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e., the antibody molecules comprising the population are identical in amino acid sequence except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. In contrast, conventional (polyclonal) antibody preparations typically include a multitude of different antibodies having different amino acid sequences in their variable domains, particularly their CDRs, that are often specific for different epitopes. The modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies to be used in accordance with the present invention may be made by the hybridoma method first described by Kohler et al. (1975) Nature 256:495, or may be made by recombinant DNA methods (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567). The “monoclonal antibodies” may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using the techniques described in, for example, Clackson et al. (1991) Nature 352:624-628; Marks et al. (1991) J Mol Biol. 222:581-597; and Presta LG (2005) J Allergy Clin Immunol. 116:731.
[00101] As used herein, a “chimeric antibody” is an antibody having the variable domain from a first antibody and constant domain from a second antibody, where the first and second antibodies are from different species, such as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567; and Morrison et al. (1984) Proc Natl Acad Sci. USA 81 : 6851-6855. Typically, the variable domains are obtained from an antibody (the “parental antibody”) from an experimental animal, such as a rodent, and the constant domain sequences are obtained from human antibodies, so that the resulting chimeric antibody will be less likely to elicit an adverse immune response in a human subject than the parental (e.g. rodent) antibody.
[00102] As used herein, the term “humanized antibody” refers to forms of antibodies that contain sequences from both human and non-human (e.g., murine, rat) antibodies. In general, the humanized antibody will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable loops correspond to those of a non- human immunoglobulin, and all or substantially all of the framework (FR) regions are those of a human immunoglobulin sequence. The humanized antibody may optionally comprise at least a portion of a human immunoglobulin constant region (Fc).
[00103] The term “fully human antibody” refers to an antibody that comprises human immunoglobulin protein sequences only. A fully human antibody may contain murine carbohydrate chains if produced in a mouse, in a mouse cell, or in a hybridoma derived from a
mouse cell. Similarly, “mouse antibody” refers to an antibody that comprises mouse immunoglobulin sequences only. Alternatively, a fully human antibody may contain rat carbohydrate chains if produced in a rat, in a rat cell, or in a hybridoma derived from a rat cell. Similarly, “rat antibody” refers to an antibody that comprises rat immunoglobulin sequences only.
[00104] In general, the basic antibody structural unit comprises a tetramer. Each tetramer includes two identical pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one “light” (about 25 kDa) and one “heavy” chain (about 50-70 kDa). The amino-terminal portion of each chain includes a variable region of about 100 to 110 or more amino acids primarily responsible for antigen recognition. The carboxy-terminal portion of the heavy chain may define a constant region primarily responsible for effector function. Typically, human light chains are classified as kappa and lambda light chains. Furthermore, human heavy chains are typically classified as mu, delta, gamma, alpha, or epsilon, and define the antibody's isotype as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are joined by a “J” region of about 12 or more amino acids, with the heavy chain also including a “D” region of about 10 more amino acids. See generally, Fundamental Immunology, Ch. 7 (Paul, W ., ed., 2nd ed. Raven Press, N.Y. (1989)).
[00105] The variable regions of each light/heavy chain pair form the antibody binding site. Thus, in general, an intact antibody has two binding sites. Except in bifunctional or bispecific antibodies, the two binding sites are, in general, the same.
[00106] Typically, the variable domains of both the heavy and light chains comprise three hypervariable regions, also called complementarity determining regions (CDRs), located within relatively conserved framework regions (FR). The CDRs are usually aligned by the framework regions, enabling binding to a specific epitope. In general, from N-terminal to C-terminal, both light and heavy chains variable domains comprise FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3 and FR4. The assignment of amino acids to each domain is, generally, in accordance with the definitions of North et al. , “A new clustering of antibody CDR loop conformations,” J Mol Biol. , 2011, Vol. 406, No. 2, Pages 228-256. The assignment of amino acids to each domain may also be in accordance with the definitions of Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Kabat et al.; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.; 5th ed.; NIHPubl. No. 91-3242 (1991); Kabat (1978) Adv Prot Chem. 32: 1-75; Kabat et al. (1977) J Biol Chem. 252:6609-6616; Chothia et al. (1987) J Mol Biol. 196:901-917 or Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:878-883.
[00107] As used herein, the term “hypervariable region” refers to the amino acid residues of an antibody that are responsible for antigen-binding. The hypervariable region comprises amino acid residues from a “complementarity determining region” or “CDR” as defined in North etal., “A new clustering of antibody CDR loop conformations,” J Mol Biol. , 2011, Vol. 406, No. 2, Pages 228-256 (i.e. residues between certain sequence motifs corresponding to starting and ending positions of a CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 in the light chain variable domain and the starting and ending positions of a CDRH1, CDRH2, and CDRH3 in the heavy chain variable domain). The hypervariable region may also comprise amino acid residues from a “complementarity determining region” or “CDR” as defined in Kabat etal. (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (i.e. residues 24-34 (CDRL1), 50-56 (CDRL2) and 89-97 (CDRL3) in the light chain variable domain and residues 31-35 (CDRH1), 50-65 (CDRH2) and 95-102 (CDRH3) in the heavy chain variable domain) and/or those residues from a “hypervariable loop” as defined in Chothia and Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196: 901-917 i.e. residues 26-32 (CDRL1), 50-52 (CDRL2) and 91-96 (CDRL3) in the light chain variable domain and 26-32 (CDRH1), 53-55 (CDRH2) and 96-101 (CDRH3) in the heavy chain variable domain). Unless provided otherwise, any CDRs provided for herein are defined by the CDR definitions found in North et al. (2011). As used herein, the term “framework” or “FR” residues refers to those variable domain residues other than the hypervariable region residues defined herein as CDR residues. CDRs provide the majority of contact residues for the binding of the antibody to the antigen or epitope. CDRs of interest can be derived from donor antibody variable heavy and light chain sequences, and include analogs of the naturally occurring CDRs, which analogs also share or retain the same antigen binding specificity and/or neutralizing ability as the donor antibody from which they were derived.
[00108] Additionally, in some embodiments, the antibodies can take the form of a full length antibody, single-domain antibody, a recombinant heavy-chain-only antibody (VHH), a single-chain antibody (scFv), a shark heavy-chain-only antibody (VNAR), a microprotein (cysteine knot protein, knottin), a DARPin; a Tetranectin; an Affibody; a Transbody; an Anticalin; an AdNectin; an Affilin; a Microbody; a peptide aptamer; an alterase; a plastic antibody; a phylomer; a stradobody; a maxibody; an evibody; a fynomer, an armadillo repeat protein, a Kunitz domain, an avimer, an atrimer, a probody, an immunobody, a triomab, a troybody; a pepbody; a vaccibody, a UniBody; Affimers, a DuoBody, a Fv, a Fab, a Fab', a F(ab')2, a peptide mimetic molecule, or a synthetic molecule, as described in U.S. Patent Nos. or
Patent Publication Nos. US 7,417,130, US 2004/132094, US 5,831 ,012, US 2004/023334, US 7,250,297, US 6,818,418, US 2004/209243, US 7,838,629, US 7,186,524, US 6,004,746, US 5,475,096, US 2004/146938, US 2004/157209, US 6,994,982, US 6,794,144, US 2010/239633, US 7,803,907, US 2010/119446, and/or US 7,166,697, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. See also, Storz MAbs. 2011 May-Jun; 3(3): 310- 317, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
[00109] The term “antigen” as used herein means any molecule that has the ability to generate antibodies either directly or indirectly or that binds to antibody. Included within the definition of “antigen” is a protein-encoding nucleic acid. An “antigen” can also refer to the binding partner of an antibody. In some embodiments, the antigen is the IGF-1R protein expressed on the surface of a cell. In some embodiments, the cell is an intact cell. An intact cell is a cell that has not been lysed or broken open with the use of detergents or other reagents. A cell that has been treated with detergents or other reagents that breaks up the cellular membrane or punches holes in a cellular membrane is not an intact cell. For example, methods are provided herein for generating an antibody that binds to a IGF-1R protein, the method comprising culturing a cell comprising a nucleic acid molecule encoding the IGF-1R antibody.
[00110] As used herein, “specific binding” or “immunospecific binding” or “binds immunospecifically” refer to antibody binding to a predetermined antigen (e.g., IGF-1R) or epitope present on the antigen. In some embodiments, the antibody binds with a dissociation constant (KD) of 10'7 M or less, and binds to the predetermined antigen with a Kothat is at least two-fold less than its KD for binding to a non-specific antigen (e.g., BSA, casein, or another nonspecific polypeptide) other than the predetermined antigen. The phrases “an antibody recognizing IGF-1R “ and “an antibody specific for IGF-1R” are used interchangeably herein with the term “an antibody which binds immunospecifically to IGF-1R.” Reference in the present disclosure may be made to IGF-1R. The degree of specificity necessary for an anti-IGF-lR antibody may depend on the intended use of the antibody, and at any rate is defined by its suitability for use for an intended purpose. In some embodiments, the antibody, or binding compound derived from the antigen-binding site of an antibody, of the contemplated method binds to its antigen (IGF-1R), with an affinity that is at least two fold greater, at least ten times greater, at least 20-times greater, or at least 100-times greater than the affinity with any other antigen.
[00111] Methods for determining mAb specificity and affinity by competitive inhibition can be found in Harlow et al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1988), Colligan et al., eds., Current Protocols in Immunology, Greene Publishing Assoc, and Wiley Interscience, N.Y., (1992, 1993), and Muller (1983) Meth EnzymoL 92:589-601, each of which is entirely incorporated herein by reference.
[00112] The term “homolog” means protein sequences having between 40% and 100% sequence homology or identity to a reference sequence. Percent identity between two peptide chains can be determined by pair wise alignment using the default settings of the AlignX module of Vector NTI v.9.0.0 (Invitrogen Corp., Carslbad, Calif.). In some embodiments, the antibody, or antigenic binding fragment thereof has, at least 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, or 99% homology or identity to a sequence described herein. In some embodiments, the antibody has conservative substitutions as compared to a sequence described herein. Exemplary conservative substitutions are illustrated in Table 1 and are encompassed within the scope of the disclosed subject matter. The conservative substitution may reside in the framework regions, or in antigen-binding sites, as long they do not adversely affect the properties of the antibody. Substitutions may be made to improve antibody properties, for example stability or affinity. Conservative substitutions will produce molecules having functional and chemical characteristics similar to those molecules into which such modifications are made. Exemplary amino acid substitutions are shown in Table 1, below.
[00113] Table 1. Exemplary Conservative Amino Acid Substitutions
[00114] In some embodiments, variants of the proteins and peptides provided herein are provided. In some embodiments, a variant comprises a substitution, deletions, or insertion. In some embodiments, the variant comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 (e.g., 1-10) substitutions. As described herein, the substitutions can be conservative substitutions. In some embodiments, the substitution is non-conservative. In some embodiments, the variant comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 (e.g., 1-10) deletions. In some embodiments, the variant comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 (e.g., 1-10) insertions. In some embodiments, the substitutions, deletions, or insertions are present in the CDRs provided for herein. In some embodiments, the substitutions, deletions, or insertions are not present in the CDRs provided for herein.
[00115] The term “in combination with” as used herein means that the described agents can be administered to an animal or subject together in a mixture, concurrently as single agents or sequentially as single agents in any order.
[00116] The techniques to raise antibodies to small peptide sequences that recognize and bind to those sequences in the free or conjugated form or when presented as a native sequence in the context of a large protein are well known in the art. Such antibodies include murine, murine-human and human-human antibodies produced by hybridoma or recombinant techniques known in the art. Antibodies can also be produced in human, a mouse, sheep, a rat, a rabbit, a shark, a llama, or a chicken. In some embodiments, the antibody is produced in a chicken. The antibodies can also be produced in or other small animals.
[00117] The term “epitope” is meant to refer to that portion of any molecule capable of being recognized by and bound by an antibody at one or more of the antibody’s antigen binding regions. Epitopes usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains and have specific three dimensional structural characteristics as well as specific charge characteristics. Example of epitopes include, but are not limited to, the residues described herein that form IGF-1R epitopes. In some embodiments, the epitope is only present in a non-denatured protein. In some embodiments, the epitope is only present in a denatured protein.
[00118] In some embodiments, the source for the DNA encoding a non-human antibody include cell lines which produce antibody, such as hybrid cell lines commonly known as hybridomas.
[00119] The hybrid cells are formed by the fusion of a non-human antibody-producing cell, typically a spleen cell of an animal immunized against either natural or recombinant antigen, or a peptide fragment of the antigen protein sequence. Alternatively, the non-human antibody-
producing cell can be a B lymphocyte obtained from the blood, spleen, lymph nodes or other tissue of an animal immunized with the antigen.
[00120] The second fusion partner, which provides the immortalizing function, can be a lymphoblastoid cell or a plasmacytoma or myeloma cell, which is not itself an antibody producing cell, but is malignant. Fusion partner cells include, but are not limited to, the hybridoma SP2/0-Agl4, abbreviated as SP2/0 (ATCC CRL1581) and the myeloma P3X63Ag8 (ATCC TIB9), or its derivatives. See, e.g., Ausubel infra, Harlow infra, and Colligan infra, the contents of which references are incorporated entirely herein by reference.
[00121] The antibodies can be generated according to the examples provided herein. Once the sequences are known, the antibodies can also be generated according to known methods. The antibodies can also be converted to different types, such as being converted to Human IgGs and the like. By converting the antibodies to a human antibody, a human subject should not identify the antibodies as foreign. The conversion of a non-human IgG antibody to a human IgG antibody is well known and can routinely be done once the native sequence is known. As discussed herein, the antibodies can be modified according to known methods. Such methods are described in, for example, Riechmann et al. (1988) “Reshaping human antibodies for therapy,” Nature 332(6162):332-323; Tsurushita et al. (2004) “Humanization of a chicken anti- IL-12 monoclonal antibody,” J Immunol Method. 295(l-2):9-19. The antibody-producing cell contributing the nucleotide sequences encoding the antigen-binding region of the chimeric antibody can also be produced by transformation of a non-human, such as a primate, or a human cell. For example, a B lymphocyte which produces the antibody can be infected and transformed with a virus such as Epstein-Barr virus to yield an immortal antibody producing cell (Kozbor et al. (1983) Immunol. Today 4:72-79). Alternatively, the B lymphocyte can be transformed by providing a transforming gene or transforming gene product, as is well-known in the art. See, e.g., Ausubel infra, Harlow infra, and Colligan infra, the contents of which references are incorporated entirely herein by reference. The cell fusions are accomplished by standard procedures well known to those skilled in the field of immunology. Fusion partner cell lines and methods for fusing and selecting hybridomas and screening for mAbs are well known in the art. See, e.g., Ausubel infra, Harlow infra, and Colligan infra, the contents of which references are incorporated entirely herein by reference.
[00122] In some embodiments, the antibody is a mAb which binds to IGF-1R. In some embodiments, the antibody binds to amino acids of an epitope of the IGF-1R.
[00123] In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a sequence as provided for herein.
[00124] The sequences of the antibodies can be modified to yield human IgG antibodies. The conversion of the sequences provided herein can be modified to yield other types of antibodies. The CDRs can also be linked to other antibodies, proteins, or molecules to create antibody fragments that bind to IGF-1R. This can be in the form of an antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”), a multi-specific molecule, or a chimeric antigen receptor. The CDRs and antibody sequences provided herein also be humanized or made fully human according to known methods. The sequences can also be made into chimeric antibodies as described herein.
[00125] In some embodiments, the antibody comprises an amino acid sequence comprising a sequence provided for herein or a fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises one or more amino acid sequences as provided herein, an antigen binding fragments, thereof, or a human IgG variant thereof. “A human IgG variant thereof’ refers to an antibody that has been modified to be a human IgG when the starting antibody is not a human IgG antibody.
[00126] As described herein, the production of antibodies with a known sequence is routine and can be done by any method. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a nucleic acid encoding an antibody or fragment thereof is provided. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encodes a sequence provided for herein. The antibodies can also be modified to be chimeric antibodies or human antibodies. The antibodies can also be used in injectable pharmaceutical compositions. As also described herein, the antibodies can be isolated antibodies or engineered antibodies.
[00127] In some embodiments, “derivatives” of the antibodies, fragments, regions or derivatives thereof, which term includes those proteins encoded by truncated or modified genes to yield molecular species functionally resembling the immunoglobulin fragments are provided. The modifications include, but are not limited to, addition of genetic sequences coding for cytotoxic proteins such as plant and bacterial toxins. The modification can also include a reporter protein, such as a fluorescent or chemiluminescent tag. The fragments and derivatives can be produced in any manner.
[00128] The identification of these antigen binding region and/or epitopes recognized by antibodies described herein provide the information necessary to generate additional monoclonal antibodies with similar binding characteristics and therapeutic or diagnostic utility that parallel the embodiments of this application.
[00129] The nucleic acid sequence encoding an antibody described herein can be genomic DNA or cDNA, or RNA (e.g., mRNA) which encodes at least one of the variable
regions described herein. A convenient alternative to the use of chromosomal gene fragments as the source of DNA encoding the V region antigen-binding segment is the use of cDNA for the construction of chimeric immunoglobulin genes, e.g., as reported by Liu et al. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA 84:3439 and Liu et al. (1987) J. Immunology 139:3521, which references are hereby entirely incorporated herein by reference. The use of cDNA requires that gene expression elements appropriate for the host cell be combined with the gene in order to achieve synthesis of the desired protein. The use of cDNA sequences is advantageous over genomic sequences (which contain introns) because cDNA sequences can be expressed in bacteria or other hosts which lack appropriate RNA splicing systems.
[00130] For example, a cDNA encoding a V region antigen-binding segment able to detect, bind, or neutralize a IGF-1R antigen can be provided using known methods based on the use of the amino acid sequences provided herein. Because the genetic code is degenerate, more than one codon can be used to encode a particular amino acid (Watson, et al., infra). Using the genetic code, one or more different oligonucleotides can be identified, each of which would be capable of encoding the amino acid. The probability that a particular oligonucleotide will, in fact, constitute the actual XXX-encoding sequence can be estimated by considering abnormal base pairing relationships and the frequency with which a particular codon is actually used (to encode a particular amino acid) in eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells expressing an antibody or fragment. Such “codon usage rules” are disclosed by Lathe et al. (1985) J Molec Biol. 183: 1-12. Using the “codon usage rules” of Lathe, a single oligonucleotide, or a set of oligonucleotides, that contains a theoretical “most probable” nucleotide sequence capable of encoding an antibody variable or constant region sequences is identified.
[00131] The variable regions described herein can be combined with any type of constant region including a human constant region or murine constant region. Human genes which encode the constant (C) regions of the antibodies, fragments and regions can be derived from a human fetal liver library by known methods. Human C regions genes can be derived from any human cell including those which express and produce human immunoglobulins. The human CH region can be derived from any of the known classes or isotypes of human H chains, including gamma, p, a, 5 or s, and subtypes thereof, such as Gl, G2, G3 and G4. Since the H chain isotype is responsible for the various effector functions of an antibody, the choice of CH region will be guided by the desired effector functions, such as complement fixation, or activity in antibodydependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). Preferably, the CH region is derived from gamma 1 (IgGl), gamma 3 (IgG3), gamma 4 (IgG4), or p (IgM). The human CL region can be derived
from either human L chain isotype, kappa or lambda. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a Fc domain. In some embodiments, the Fc domain comprises a mutation to extend the half-life of the antibody. In some embodiments, the Fc domain comprises a mutation such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 7,670,600, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. In some embodiments, the constant region comprises a mutation at position at amino acid residue position 428 relative to a wild-type human IgG constant domain, numbered according to the EU numbering index of Kabat. Without being bound to any particular theory, an antibody comprising a mutation that corresponds to residue 428 can have an increased halflife as compared to the half-life of an IgG having the wild-type human IgG constant domain. In some embodiments, the mutation is a substitution of the native residue with a threonine, leucine, phenylalanine or serine. In some embodiments, the antibody further comprises one or more amino acid substitutions relative to the corresponding wild-type human IgG constant domain at one or more of amino acid residues 251-256, 285-290, 308-314, 385-389, and 429-436, numbered according to the Kabat EU numbering index. The specific mutations or substitutions at these positions are described in U.S. Patent No. 7,670,600, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[00132] Genes encoding human immunoglobulin C regions can be obtained from human cells by standard cloning techniques (Sambrook, et al. (Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. (1989) and Ausubel et al., eds. Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (1987, 1993)). Human C region genes are readily available from known clones containing genes representing the two classes of L chains, the five classes of H chains and subclasses thereof. Chimeric antibody fragments, such as F(ab')2 and Fab, can be prepared by designing a chimeric H chain gene which is appropriately truncated. For example, a chimeric gene encoding an H chain portion of an F(ab')2 fragment would include DNA sequences encoding the CHi domain and hinge region of the H chain, followed by a translational stop codon to yield the truncated molecule.
[00133] In some embodiments, the antibodies, murine, human, humanized, or chimeric antibodies, fragments and regions of the antibodies described herein are produced by cloning DNA segments encoding the H and L chain antigen-binding regions of a IGF-1R antigen specific antibody, and joining these DNA segments to DNA segments encoding CH and CL regions, respectively, to produce murine, human, or chimeric immunoglobulin-encoding genes.
[00134] Thus, in some embodiments, a fused chimeric gene is created which comprises a first DNA segment that encodes at least the antigen-binding region of non-human origin, such
as a functionally rearranged V region with joining (J) segment, linked to a second DNA segment encoding at least a part of a human C region.
[00135] Therefore, cDNA encoding the antibody V and C regions, the method of producing the antibody according to some of the embodiments described herein involve several steps, as exemplified below: 1. Isolation of messenger RNA (mRNA) from the cell line producing an anti- IGF-1R antigen antibody and from optional additional antibodies supplying heavy and light constant regions; cloning and cDNA production therefrom; 2. Preparation of a full length cDNA library from purified mRNA from which the appropriate V and/or C region gene segments of the L and H chain genes can be: (i) identified with appropriate probes, (ii) sequenced, and (iii) made compatible with a C or V gene segment from another antibody for a chimeric antibody; 3. Construction of complete H or L chain coding sequences by linkage of the cloned specific V region gene segments to cloned C region gene, as described above; and 4. Expression and production of L and H chains in selected hosts, including prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells to provide murine-murine, human-murine, human-human or human murine antibodies.
[00136] Two coding DNA sequences are said to be “operably linked” if the linkage results in a continuously translatable sequence without alteration or interruption of the triplet reading frame. A DNA coding sequence is operably linked to a gene expression element if the linkage results in the proper function of that gene expression element to result in expression of the coding sequence.
[00137] As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “about” is intended to mean ± 5% of the value it modifies. Thus, “about 100” means 95 to 105.
[00138] In some embodiments, the antibodies described herein are used to detect the presence of the antigen. The present antibody can be used in any device or method to detect the presence of the antigen.
[00139] The term “purified” with referenced to an antibody refers to an antibody that is substantially free of other material that associates with the molecule in its natural environment. For instance, a purified protein is substantially free of the cellular material or other proteins from the cell or tissue from which it is derived. The term refers to preparations where the isolated protein is sufficiently pure to be analyzed, or at least 70% to 80% (w/w) pure, at least 80%-90% (w/w) pure, 90-95% pure; and, at least 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% (w/w) pure. In some embodiments, the antibody is purified.
[00140] As an alternative to preparing monoclonal antibody-secreting hybridomas, a monoclonal antibody to a polypeptide may be identified and isolated by screening a recombinant combinatorial immunoglobulin library (e.g., an antibody phage display library) with a polypeptide described herein to thereby isolate immunoglobulin library members that bind to the polypeptide. Techniques and commercially available kits for generating and screening phage display libraries are well known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, examples of methods and reagents particularly amenable for use in generating and screening antibody or antigen binding protein display libraries can be found in the literature. Thus, the epitopes described herein can be used to screen for other antibodies that can be used therapeutically, diagnostically, or as research tools.
Antibody Conjugates
[00141] The antibodies provided for herein may also be conjugated to a chemical moiety. The chemical moiety may be, inter alia, a polymer, a radionuclide or a cytotoxic factor. In some embodiments, this can be referred to as an antibody drug conjugate. In some embodiments, the chemical moiety is a polymer which increases the half-life of the antibody molecule in the body of a subject. Suitable polymers include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG) (e.g., PEG with a molecular weight of 2kDa, 5 kDa, 10 kDa, 12kDa, 20 kDa, 30kDa or 40kDa), dextran and monomethoxypolyethylene glycol (mPEG). Examples of PEG conjugated single-chain antibodies can be found in Lee et al. (1999) Bioconj Chem. 10:973-981, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. Examples of conjugating antibodies with PEG which is attached to a radiometal chelator (diethylenetriaminpentaacetic acid (DTP A) can be found in Wen et al. (2001) Bioconj Chem. 12:545-553, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. Examples of chemical moieties include, but are not limited to, anti-mitotics, such as calicheamicins (e.g., ozogamicin), monomethyl auristatin E, mertansine, and the like. Further examples include, but are not limited to, biologically active anti-microtubule agents, alkylating agents, and DNA minor groove binding agents. Further examples are provided herein and below. The chemical moiety can be linked to the antibody through a linking group (e.g., mal eimide), a cleavable linker, such as a cathepsin cleavable linkers (e.g., valine-citrulline), and in some embodiments, one or more spacers (e.g., paraaminobenzylcarbamate).

Chimeric Antigen Receptors
[00146] The antibodies provided herein can also be incorporated into a chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”) that can be used, for example, in a CAR-T cell. In some embodiments, the extracellular domain of the CAR can be an antibody as provided for herein. In some embodiments, the antibody is in a scFv format. CAR-T cells are a type of treatment in which a patient’s T cells are modified so they will attack the cells that are expressing IGF-1R. T cells are taken from a patient’s blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient’s cells is added in the laboratory. In some embodiments, the receptor binds to IGF- 1R using the binding regions of the antibodies provided for herein. The CAR-T cells comprising the IGF-1R antibody can then be used to treat a condition, such as those provided for herein.
[00147] In some embodiments, antibodies (e.g. an anti-IGF-lR antibody) are provided herein. In some embodiments, the antibody is a recombinant antibody that binds to a IGF-1R protein. In some embodiments, the IGF-1R protein is a human IGF-1R protein. In some embodiments, the IGF-1R protein that is recognized by the antibodies is in its native conformation (non-denatured) conformation. In some embodiments, the antibody does not specifically binds to a denatured IGF-1R protein. As used herein, the term “recombinant antibody” refers to an antibody that is not naturally occurring. In some embodiments, the term “recombinant antibody” refers to an antibody that is not isolated from a human subject.
[00148] In some embodiments, the antibody can comprise the heavy variable region (VH) or light variable region (VL) sequence, or the combination of VH and VL sequences, or variants, as provided for in Table 2, below:

Pharmaceutical Compositions
[00293] Provided herein are pharmaceutical or sterile compositions comprising an antibody as provided for herein. The pharmaceutical or sterile compositions of the anti-IGF-lR antibodies, or antigen binding fragment thereof, can be admixed with a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier or excipients to produce the pharmaceutical composition. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences and U.S. Pharmacopeia: National Formulary, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, PA (1984).
[00294] Formulations of therapeutic and diagnostic agents may be prepared by mixing with acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers in the form of, e.g., lyophilized powders, slurries, aqueous solutions or suspensions (see, e.g., Hardman, et al. (2001) Goodman and Gilman ’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, McGraw-Hill, New York, NY; Gennaro (2000) Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Lippincott, Williams, and Wilkins, New York, NY; Avis, et al. (eds.) (1993) Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Parenteral Medications, Marcel Dekker, NY; Lieberman, et al. (eds.) (1990) Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, Marcel Dekker, NY; Lieberman, et al. (eds.) (1990) Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Disperse Systems, Marcel Dekker, NY; Weiner and Kotkoskie (2000) Excipient Toxicity and Safety, Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, NY). In some embodiments, the antibodies are diluted to an appropriate concentration in a sodium acetate solution of pH 5-6, and NaCl or sucrose is added for tonicity. Additional agents, such as polysorbate 20 or polysorbate 80, may be added to enhance stability.
[00295] Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the antibody compositions, administered alone or in combination with another agent, can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index (LD50/ ED50). In particular aspects, antibodies exhibiting high therapeutic indices are desirable. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosages for use in humans. The dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration.
[00296] In some embodiments, an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, as provided herein is administered to a subject in accordance with the Physicians’ Desk Reference 2003 (Thomson Healthcare; 57th edition (November 1, 2002)).
[00297] The mode of administration can vary. Suitable routes of administration include oral, rectal, transmucosal, intestinal, parenteral; intramuscular, subcutaneous, intradermal,
intramedullary, intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intranasal, intraocular, inhalation, insufflation, topical, cutaneous, transdermal, or intra-arterial.
[00298] In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, can be administered by an invasive route, such as by injection. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intraarterially, intra-articularly (e.g., in arthritis joints), or by inhalation, aerosol delivery. Administration by non-invasive routes (e.g., orally, such as in a pill, capsule, or tablet) is also within the scope of the present embodiments. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can be administered subcutaneously. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can be administered intravenously.
[00299] In some embodiments, the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, or pharmaceutical composition thereof, can be administered directly to the eye, the anterior chamber of the eye, the vitreous chamber of the eye, the suprachoroidal space, or the retro-orbital sinus. In some embodiments, administration to the eye, the anterior chamber of the eye, the vitreous chamber of the eye, the suprachoroidal space, or the retro-orbital sinus is via an injection. In some embodiments, the injection is an intravitreal injection, intraorbital injection, retro-orbital injection, suprachoroidal injection, or intracam eral injection. In some embodiments, the injection is an intravitreal injection. In some embodiments, the injection is an intraorbital injection. In some embodiments, the injection is a retro-orbital injection. In some embodiments, the injection is a suprachoroidal injection. In some embodiments, the injection is an intracameral injection.
[00300] In some embodiments, the anti-IGF-lR antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, is administered in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent, such as, but not limited to any therapeutic used to treat thyroid eye disease. For example, in some embodiments, the anti-IGF-lR antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, is administered in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent, such as, but not limited to a therapeutic used to treat thyroid eye disease or a condition related to the same. Examples of such treatments and therapeutics include, but are not limited to anti-thyroid medications, diabetes medications, beta-blockers, propylthiouracil, methimazole, propranolol, atenolol, metoprolol, nadolol, corticosteroids, metformin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, thiazolidinediones, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, regular insulin, insulin aspart, insulin glulisine, insulin lispro, insulin isophane, insulin degludec, insulin detemir, insulin glargine, acerbose, miglitol, acebutolol, atenolol, betaxolol, bisoprolol, cartelol, carvedilol, esmolol,
labetalol, metoprolol, nadolol, nebivolol, penbutolol, pindolol, propranolol, sotalol, timolol, tomolol ophthalmic solution, sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, alogliptin, dulaglutide, exenatide, semaglutide, liraglutide, lixisenatide, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, or any combination thereof.
[00301] Compositions can be administered with medical devices known in the art. For example, a pharmaceutical composition of the invention can be administered by injection with a hypodermic needle, including, e.g., a prefilled syringe or autoinjector.
[00302] The pharmaceutical compositions may also be administered with a needleless hypodermic injection device; such as the devices disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,620,135; 6,096,002; 5,399,163; 5,383,851; 5,312,335; 5,064,413; 4,941,880; 4,790,824 or 4,596,556.
[00303] The pharmaceutical compositions may also be administered by infusion. Examples of well-known implants and modules form administering pharmaceutical compositions include: U.S. Patent No. 4,487,603, which discloses an implantable micro-infusion pump for dispensing medication at a controlled rate; U.S. Patent No. 4,447,233, which discloses a medication infusion pump for delivering medication at a precise infusion rate; U.S. Patent No. 4,447,224, which discloses a variable flow implantable infusion apparatus for continuous drug delivery; U.S. Patent. No. 4,439,196, which discloses an osmotic drug delivery system having multi-chamber compartments. Many other such implants, delivery systems, and modules are well known to those skilled in the art.
[00304] Alternately, one may administer the antibody in a local rather than systemic manner, for example, via injection of the antibody directly into an arthritic joint or pathogen- induced lesion characterized by immunopathology, often in a depot or sustained release formulation. Furthermore, one may administer the antibody in a targeted drug delivery system, for example, in a liposome coated with a tissue-specific antibody, targeting, for example, arthritic joint or pathogen-induced lesion characterized by immunopathology. The liposomes will be targeted to and taken up selectively by the afflicted tissue.
[00305] The administration regimen depends on several factors, including the serum or tissue turnover rate of the therapeutic antibody, the level of symptoms, the immunogenicity of the therapeutic antibody, and the accessibility of the target cells in the biological matrix. Preferably, the administration regimen delivers sufficient therapeutic antibody to effect improvement in the target disease state, while simultaneously minimizing undesired side effects. Accordingly, the amount of biologic delivered depends in part on the particular therapeutic antibody and the severity of the condition being treated. Guidance in selecting appropriate doses
of therapeutic antibodies is available (see, e.g., Wawrzynczak (1996) Antibody Therapy, Bios Scientific Pub. Ltd, Oxfordshire, UK; Kresina (ed.)

[00306] Determination of the appropriate dose is made by the clinician, e.g., using parameters or factors known or suspected in the art to affect treatment. Generally, the dose begins with an amount somewhat less than the optimum dose and it is increased by small increments thereafter until the desired or optimum effect is achieved relative to any negative side effects.
Important diagnostic measures include those of symptoms of, e.g., the inflammation or level of inflammatory cytokines produced. In general, it is desirable that a biologic that will be used is derived from the same species as the animal targeted for treatment, thereby minimizing any immune response to the reagent. In the case of human subjects, for example, chimeric, humanized and fully human antibodies may be desirable.

In some embodiments, the antibody is administered as provided for herein at a dose to achieve a Cmin of at least, or about, 100 pg/mL.
[00311] As used herein, “inhibit” or “treat” or “treatment” includes a postponement of development of the symptoms associated with a disorder and/or a reduction in the severity of the symptoms of such disorder. The terms further include ameliorating existing uncontrolled or unwanted symptoms, preventing additional symptoms, and ameliorating or preventing the underlying causes of such symptoms. Thus, the terms denote that a beneficial result has been conferred on a vertebrate subject with a disorder, disease or symptom, or with the potential to develop such a disorder, disease or symptom.
[00312] As used herein, the terms “therapeutically effective amount”, “therapeutically effective dose” and “effective amount” refer to an amount of the antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, that, when administered alone or in combination with an additional therapeutic agent to a cell, tissue, or subject, is effective to cause a measurable improvement in one or more symptoms of a disease or condition or the progression of such disease or condition. A therapeutically effective dose further refers to that amount of the binding compound sufficient to result in at least partial amelioration of symptoms, e.g., treatment, healing, prevention or amelioration of the relevant medical condition, or an increase in rate of treatment, healing, prevention or amelioration of such conditions. When applied to an individual active ingredient administered alone, a therapeutically effective dose refers to that ingredient alone. When applied to a combination, a therapeutically effective dose refers to combined amounts of the active ingredients that result in the therapeutic effect, whether administered in combination, serially or simultaneously. An effective amount of a therapeutic will result in an improvement of a diagnostic measure or parameter by at least 10%; usually by at least 20%; preferably at least about 30%; more preferably at least 40%, and most preferably by at least 50%. An effective amount can also result in an improvement in a subjective measure in cases where subjective
measures are used to assess disease severity. In some embodiments, an amount is a therapeutically effective amount if it is an amount that can be used to treat or ameliorate a condition as provided for herein.
[00313] The term “subject” as used throughout includes any organism, such as an animal, including a mammal (e.g., rat, mouse, dog, cat, rabbit) and, for example, a human. A subject can also be referred to as a patient. In some embodiments, the subject is a subject in need thereof. A subject that is “in need thereof’ refers to a subject that has been identified as requiring treatment for the condition that is to be treated and is treated with the specific intent of treating such condition. The conditions can be, for example, any of the conditions described herein.
[00314] Whereas, an isolated antibody binds an epitope on a IGF-1R protein, or other protein described herein, and displays in vitro and/or in vivo IGF-1R inhibiting or therapeutic activities, the antibodies or antigen binding fragments thereof, capable of inhibiting IGF-1R function, are suitable both as therapeutic agents for treating IGF-lR-associated conditions in humans and animals. These conditions include thyroid eye disease. Accordingly, methods of treating such conditions are also provided, wherein the method comprises administering an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, to the subject with such a condition.
[00315] In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of one or more monoclonal antibodies or antigen binding fragments of the antibodies described herein to a susceptible subject or to one exhibiting a condition in which IGF-1R is known or suspected to have caused the pathology observed. Any active form of the antibody can be administered, including, but not limited to, scFV, Fab and F(ab')2 fragments and other forms of antibodies provided for herein.
[00316] As used herein, a IGF-1R associated pathology refers to conditions that are caused by the modulation of IGF-1R. These conditions include, but are not limited to, thyroid eye disease and other conditions provided for herein.
[00317] In some embodiments, the antibodies used are compatible with the recipient species such that the immune response to the mAbs does not result in an unacceptably short circulating half-life or induce an immune response to the mAbs in the subject.
[00318] Treatment of individuals may comprise the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of the antibodies described herein. The antibodies can be provided in a kit, such as those provided herein. The antibodies can be used or administered alone or in admixture with another therapeutic, analgesic, or diagnostic agent, such as provided for herein. In providing a patient with an antibody, or fragment thereof, capable of binding to IGF-1R, or an antibody
capable of protecting against IGF-1R, pathology in a recipient patient, the dosage of administered agent will vary depending upon such factors as the patient’s age, weight, height, sex, general medical condition, previous medical history, etc.
[00319] An antibody, capable treating a condition associated with IGF-1R activity or use to treat a IGF-1R related pathology, is intended to be provided to subjects in an amount sufficient to affect a reduction, resolution, or amelioration in the IGF-1R related symptom or pathology. Such a pathology includes thyroid eye disease and the like
[00320] Accordingly, in some embodiments, methods of treating a subject with a IGF- 1R mediated disorder are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, as provided herein. In some embodiments, the disorder is thyroid eye disease. As provided for herein, the antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, can be administered with other therapeutics. These can be administered simultaneously or sequentially.
[00321] In some embodiments, the antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, may be used to treat thyroid eye disease. In some embodiments, the antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, may be used to treat or reduce the severity of, thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), or a symptom thereof.
[00322] In some embodiments, methods or uses are provided to reduce proptosis in an eye in a subject with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).
[00323] In some embodiments, the subject is a subject how has previously been treated with a different antibody than those provided herein.
[00324] In some embodiments, methods or uses are provided to Clinical Activity Score (CAS) in subject who has or is suspected of having thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).
[00325] In some embodiments, methods or uses are provided to reduce proptosis by at least 2 mm and b) reducing the clinical activity score (CAS) in a subject with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).
[00326] As used herein, the term Clinical Activity Score (CAS) refers to the protocol described and scored according to Table 3. According to this protocol, one point is given for the presence of each of the parameters assessed in Table 3, below. The sum of all points defines clinical activity and provides the CAS, where 0 or 1 constitutes inactive disease and 7 severe active ophthalmopathy.
[00327] Table 3. Parameters for calculating Clinical Activity Score
[00328] As provided in Table 3, the CAS consists of seven components: spontaneous retrobulbar pain, pain on attempted eye movements (upward, side-to-side, and downward gazes), conjunctival redness, redness of the eyelids, chemosis, swelling of the caruncle/plica, and swelling of the eyelids. Each component is scored as present (1 point) or absent (0 points). The score at each efficacy assessment is the sum of all items present; giving a range of 0-7, where 0 or 1 constitutes inactive disease and 7 severe active ophthalmopathy. A change of >2 points is considered clinically meaningful.
[00329] Item 1, spontaneous orbital pain could be a painful, or oppressive feeling on, or behind, the globe. This pain may be caused by the rise in intraorbital pressure, when the orbital tissues volume increases through excess synthesis of extracellular matrix, fluid accumulation, and cellular infiltration and expansion. Item 2, gaze evoked orbital pain, could be pain in the eyes when looking, or attempting to look, up, down or sideways, i.e., pain with upward, downward, or lateral eye movement, or when attempting eye movement. This kind of pain could arise from the stretching of the inflamed muscle(s), especially on attempted up-gaze. The “stretching pain” cannot be provoked by digital pressing on the eyeball, as would be expected if it were a manifestation of the raised intraorbital pressure. Both kinds of pain can be reduced after anti-inflammatory treatment. These kinds of pain are therefore considered to be directly related to autoimmune inflammation in the orbit and thus useful in assessing TAO activity.
[00330] Swelling in TAO is seen as chemosis (edema of the conjunctiva), item no. 6 in Table 3, and swelling of the caruncle and/or plica semilunaris. Both are signs of TAO activity. Swollen eyelids can be caused by edema, fat prolapse through the orbital septum, or fibrotic
degeneration. In addition to swelling, other symptoms indicative of active TAO include redness and/or pain of the conjunctiva, eyelid, caruncle and/or plica semilunaris.
[00331] In some embodiments, the subject who is treated has the proptosis is reduced by at least 2 mm. In some embodiments, the subject who is treated has the proptosis is reduced by at least 3 mm. In some embodiments, the subject who is treated has the proptosis is reduced by at least 4 mm.
[00332] In some embodiments, in the subjects who are treated the clinical activity score (CAS) of the subject is reduced by at least 2 points. In some embodiments, the clinical activity score (CAS) of the subject is reduced to one (1). In some embodiments, the clinical activity score (CAS) of the subject is reduced to zero (0).
[00333] In some embodiments, methods of treating or reducing the severity of thyroid- associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) in a subject are provided, wherein the treatment with said antibody (i) reduces proptosis by at least 2 mm in an eye; (ii) is not accompanied by a deterioration of 2 mm or more in the other (or fellow eye); and (iii) reduces the CAS in said subject to either one (1) or zero (0).
[00334] In some embodiments, methods of improving the quality of life in a subject with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO, also called Graves' Ophthalmopathy/Graves' Orbitopathy) are provided. In some embodiments, the quality of life is measured by the Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QoL) assessment, or either the Visual Functioning or Appearance subscale thereof. In some embodiments, the treatment results in an improvement of greater than or equal to 8 points on the GO-QoL. In some embodiments, the treatment results in an improvement on the Functioning subscale of the GO-QoL. In some embodiments, the treatment results in an improvement on the Appearance subscale of the GO-QoL.
[00335] In some embodiments, methods of treating or reducing the severity of diplopia in a subject with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) are provided. In some embodiments, the diplopia is constant diplopia. In some embodiments, the diplopia is inconstant diplopia. In some embodiments, the diplopia is intermittent diplopia. In some embodiments, the improvement in or reduction in severity of diplopia is sustained at least 20 weeks after discontinuation of antibody administration. In some embodiments, the improvement in or reduction in severity of diplopia is sustained at least 50 weeks after discontinuation of antibody administration.
[00336] The severity of the disease can be measured in the following non-limiting embodiments. For example, for lid aperture, the distance between the lid margins is measured
(in mm) with the patient looking in the primary position, sitting relaxed, and with distant fixation. For swelling of the eyelids, the measure/evaluation is either "absent/equivocal," "moderate," or "severe". Redness of the eyelids is either absent or present. Redness of the conjunctivae is either absent or present. In some embodiments, conjunctival edema is either absent or present. In some embodiments, inflammation of the caruncle or plica is either absent or present. Exophthalmos is measured in millimeter using the same Hertel exophthalmometer and same intercanthal distance for an individual patient. Subjective diplopia is scored from 0 to 3 (0=no diplopia; 1 intermittent, i.e., diplopia in primary position of gaze, when tired or when first awakening; 2=inconstant, i.e., diplopia at extremes of gaze; 3=constant, i.e., continuous diplopia in primary or reading position). For eye muscle involvement, the ductions are measured in degrees. Corneal involvement is either absent/punctate or keratopathy/ulcer. For optic nerve involvement, i.e., best-corrected visual acuity, color vision, optic disc, relative afferent pupillary defect, the condition is either absent or present. In addition, visual fields are checked if optic nerve compression is suspected. In some embodiments, the patient can be classified according to the following severity classification. For example, sight-Threatening Thyroid Eye Disease: Patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) and/or corneal breakdown. This category warrants immediate intervention. Moderate-to- Severe Thyroid Eye Disease: Patients without sightthreatening disease whose eye disease has sufficient impact on daily life to justify the risks of immunosuppression (if active) or surgical intervention (if inactive). Patients with moderate-to- severe thyroid eye disease usually have any one or more of the following: lid retraction greater than or equal to 2 mm, moderate or severe soft tissue involvement, exophthalmos greater than or equal to 3 mm above normal for race and gender, inconstant or constant diplopia. Mild Thyroid Eye Disease: Patients whose features of thyroid eye disease have only a minor impact on daily life insufficient to justify immunosuppressive or surgical treatment. They usually have only one or more of the following: minor lid retraction (<2 mm), mild soft tissue involvement, exophthalmos <3 mm above normal for race and gender, transient or no diplopia, and corneal exposure responsive to lubricants.
[00337] In some embodiments, a patient can be characterized by Graves Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QoL) score. In addition to proptosis (or exophthalmos) and CAS, quality of life is also evaluated with the use of the GO quality of life (GO-QoL) questionnaire. This questionnaire is designed to determine the improved quality of life after treatment with a method disclosed herein. In some embodiments, questionnaire may determine the decreased or lack of side effects after being treated with an antibody, or an antigen binding fragment thereof,
according to a method disclosed herein as compared to treatment with glucocorticoids. The GO- QoL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire divided into 2 subsets and used to assess the perceived effects of TED by the subjects on (i) their daily physical activity as it relates to visual function, and (ii) psychosocial functioning. Quality of life is evaluated with the use of the GO QoL questionnaire. The GO-QoL questionnaire (C. B. Terwee et al, 1998) is completed on Day 1 and Weeks 6, 12, and 24 (or PW) during the Treatment Period, and at Months 7 and 12 (or PW) during the Follow-Up Period. The GO-QoL is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire divided into two self-assessment subscales; one covering impact of visual function on daily activities, the other assesses the impact of self-perceived appearance. The visual function subscale covers activities such as driving, walking outdoors, reading, watching television. The appearance subscale asks the subject questions such as whether ophthalmopathy has altered the subject's appearance, caused other people to have a negative reaction to the subject, caused social isolation, and caused the subject to try to mask his or her appearance. Each subscale has 8 questions which are answered with: yes— very much so; yes— a little; or no— not at all. Each question is scored 0-2, respectively, and the total raw score is then mathematically transformed to a 0-100 scale, where 0 represents the most negative impact on quality of life, and 100 represents no impact. A change of > or greater than equal to 8 points on the 0-100 scale has been shown to be clinically meaningful. The combined score takes raw scores from both subscales and again transforms them to a single 0-100 scale. The questionnaire has two self-assessment subscales. Each subscale has 8 questions which are answered with: (i) yes— very much so; (ii) yes— a little; or (iii) no— not at all. Each question is scored 0-2, respectively, and the total raw score is then mathematically transformed to a 0-100 scale, where 0 represents the most negative impact on quality of life, and 100 represents no impact. A change of >8 points on the 0-100 scale is considered to be clinically meaningful. The combined score takes raw scores from both subscales and again transforms them to a single 0-100 scale.
[00338] Patients can also be assessed by the presence of absence of Gorman Grading of Diplopia. The Gorman assessment of subjective diplopia includes four categories: no diplopia (absent), diplopia when the patient is tired or awakening (intermittent), diplopia at extremes of gaze (inconstant), and continuous diplopia in the primary or reading position (constant). Patients are scored according to which grade of diplopia they are experiencing. An improvement of greater than equal or to 1 grade is considered clinically meaningful.

container means. The container may be in another container apparatus, e.g., a box or a bag, along with the written information.
[00343] Yet another aspect provided for herein is a kit for detecting IGF-1R protein in a biological sample. The kit includes a container holding one or more antibodies which binds an epitope of IGF-1R protein and instructions for using the antibody for the purpose of binding to IGF-1R protein to form an immunological complex and detecting the formation of the immunological complex such that the presence or absence of the immunological complex correlates with presence or absence of IGF-1R protein in the sample. Examples of containers include multiwell plates which allow simultaneous detection of IGF-1R protein in multiple samples.
[00344] In some embodiments, antibodies that bind to an IGF-1R protein are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody is isolated. In some embodiments, the antibody binds specifically. In some embodiments, the antibody binds to an IGF-1R protein that is properly folded. In some embodiments, the antibody is specific for a specific IGF-1R conformational state (open or closed). In some embodiments, the antibody binds to an IGF-1R protein in a cell membrane. In some embodiments, the antibody binds to an IGF-1R protein that is in a cell membrane in an intact cell. In some embodiments, the antibody inhibits or neutralizes the function of an IGF-1R protein. As used herein, the term “neutralize” means that the activity or function of the protein is inhibited. The inhibition can be complete or partial. In some embodiments, the activity or function of the protein is inhibited at least 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, or 99%. The percent inhibition can be based upon the function or activity of the protein in the absence of the antibody. In some embodiments, the antibody inhibits the glucose transport facilitated by IGF-1R. In some embodiments, the antibody inhibits the internalization of the IGF-1R protein.
[00345] In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a sequence as provided for herein or antigen binding fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a heavy chain CDR or an antigen binding fragment thereof described herein. The heavy chain may be one or more of the heavy chains described herein. In some embodiments, the antibody comprises a light chain, or an antigen binding fragment thereof as described herein
[00346] In some embodiments, methods of treating, inhibiting or ameliorating an IGF- 1R, associated pathology are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise administering an antibody described herein or a pharmaceutical composition described herein to
a subject to treat, inhibit or ameliorate an IGF-1R associated pathology. In some embodiments, the pathology is as described herein.
[00347] In some embodiments, methods of detecting the presence or absence of an IGF- 1R in a sample are provided, the method comprising contacting a sample with one or more antibodies described herein detecting the binding to an IGF-1R antigen by the antibody. In some embodiments, the detection of the binding indicates the presence of IGF-1R antigen; or the absence of the detection of the binding to the IGF-1R antigen indicates the absence of the IGF- 1R antigen. The detecting can be done with any known method, such as using a biosensor, ELISA, sandwich assay, and the like. However, in some embodiments, the method comprises detecting the presence of the protein in non-denaturing conditions. The non-denaturing conditions can be used so that the protein of interest is detected in its native, or properly folded form.
[00348] In some embodiments, methods of identifying a test antibody that binds to an epitope on IGF-1R protein, are provided, the method comprising contacting a test antibody with the epitope on IGF-1R protein and determining whether the test antibody binds to the epitope. In some embodiments, the determining comprises determining whether the test antibody binds to the protein and is competitively inhibited by an antibody comprising a sequence as provided herein. In some embodiments, the determining comprises mutating one or more residues of epitope or protein and determining binding of the test antibody to the mutated epitope, wherein if the mutation reduces binding of the test antibody as compared to the non-mutated epitope, the test antibody is deemed to bind to that epitope.
[00349] In some embodiments, methods of monitoring internalization of IGF-1R from the surface of a cell are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprising contacting the cell with an anti-IGF-lR antibody as provided herein and detecting the presence of IGF-1R in the cell or on the surface of the cell. The differences in cell surface expression can be measured and the internalization can be monitored and measured. This can be used, for example, to measure the effect of another molecule, such as a test agent, to modulate internalization of IGF - 1R protein. Thus, the antibodies provided for herein can be used to identify test agents that modulate (increase or decrease) the internalization of IGF-1R protein. Test molecules that increase the internalization, which would be measured as a decrease in binding of an anti- IGF- 1R antibody to IGF-1R protein on the cell surface, can be identified according to the methods provided herein. Test molecules that decrease the internalization, which would be measured as an increase in binding of an anti- IGF-1R antibody to IGF-1R protein on the cell surface, can be
identified according to the methods provided herein. The surface expression can be measured by fluorescence, which can be done through a secondary antibody that recognized the IGF-1R antibodies or by labelling the anti- IGF-1R antibodies provided for herein.
[00350] In some embodiments, methods of inhibiting IGF-1 stimulated receptor phosphorylation on a cell are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise contacting the cell with an antibody as provided for herein, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same.

EXAMPLES
[00572] Example 1: Variants of anti-IGF-lR Antibody VRDN-01100 bind to IGF- 1R
[00573] A mutational screen of variants of anti-IGF-lR antibody VRDN-01100 was performed by analyzing kinetics and affinities of antibody variants containing single point mutations in the variable heavy and light chains. HD293 cells were transiently transfected to express the antibody variants. Supernatants were harvested and analyzed via biolayer interferometry to characterize the ability of the antibody variants to bind IGF-1R in comparison to VRDN-01100. Biolayer interferometry was performed by immobilizing antibody variants on an anti-human IgC Fc capture biosensor, using 100 nM of recombinant human IGF-1R protein as analyte for association and dissociation steps. The assay was performed at a temperature of 37 °C and a shake speed of 1000 rpm. Rate of association (Ka), equilibrium dissociation constant (KD), and dissociation rate constant (ka), as well as the fold change in ka were determined for each antibody variant. Fold change is calculated as a ratio of variant dissociation rate constant to VRDN-01100 dissociation rate constant, such that a fold change value of <1 indicates improved binding to IGF-1R by the antibody variant as compared to the VRDN-01100, and a fold change value of >1 indicates decreased binding. As shown in Table 4, below, certain mutations (e.g., VRDN-01204) improved binding affinity to IGF-1R while others (e.g., VRDN-01205) decreased binding affinity.
[00574] Table 4. Binding Kinetics of VRDN-01100 Variants
N/A means no mutations were made in the region.
*n/a means that no binding was detected and, therefore, a fold difference could not be calculated.
[00575] These data demonstrate that these variants can bind to IGF-1R with certain affinities and that they can be used to treat conditions, such as, thyroid eye disease.
