Table 1c: Thienoazepine compounds (TAZ)
THIENOAZEPINE-LINKER COMPOUNDS The macromolecule-supported compounds of the invention are prepared by conjugation of a macromolecular support with a thienoazepine-linker compound. The thienoazepine-linker compounds comprise a thienoazepine (TAZ) moiety covalently attached to a linker unit. The linker units comprise functional groups and subunits which affect stability, permeability, solubility, and other pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy properties of the macromolecule- supported compounds. The linker unit includes a reactive functional group which reacts, i.e. conjugates, with a reactive functional group of the macromolecular support. For example, a nucleophilic group such as a lysine side chain amino of the macromolecular support reacts with an electrophilic reactive functional group of the TAZ-linker compound to form the macromolecule-supported compound. Also, for example, a cysteine thiol of the macromolecular support reacts with a maleimide or bromoacetamide group of the TAZ-linker compound to form the macromolecule-supported compound. Electrophilic reactive functional groups suitable for the TAZ-linker compounds include, but are not limited to, N-hydroxysuccinimidyl (NHS) esters and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimidyl (sulfo-NHS) esters (amine reactive); carbodiimides (amine and carboxyl reactive); hydroxymethyl phosphines (amine reactive); maleimides (thiol reactive); halogenated acetamides such as N-iodoacetamides (thiol reactive); aryl azides (primary amine reactive); fluorinated aryl azides (reactive via carbon-hydrogen (C-H) insertion); pentafluorophenyl (PFP) esters (amine reactive); tetrafluorophenyl (TFP) esters (amine reactive); imidoesters (amine reactive); isocyanates (hydroxyl reactive); vinyl sulfones (thiol, amine, and hydroxyl reactive); pyridyl disulfides (thiol reactive); and benzophenone derivatives (reactive via C-H bond insertion). Further reagents include, but are not limited, to those described in Hermanson, Bioconjugate Techniques 2nd Edition, Academic Press, 2008. The invention provides solutions to the limitations and challenges to the design, preparation and use of macromolecule-supported compounds. Some linkers may be labile in the blood stream, thereby releasing unacceptable amounts of the adjuvant/drug prior to internalization in a target cell (Khot, A. et al (2015) Bioanalysis 7(13):1633–1648). Other linkers may provide stability in the bloodstream, but intracellular release effectiveness may be negatively impacted. Linkers that provide for desired intracellular release typically have poor stability in the bloodstream. Alternatively stated, bloodstream stability and intracellular release are typically inversely related. In addition, in standard conjugation processes, the amount of adjuvant/drug moiety loaded on the antibody, i.e. drug loading, the amount of aggregate that is formed in the conjugation reaction, and the yield of final purified conjugate that can be obtained are interrelated. For example, aggregate formation is generally positively correlated to the number of equivalents of adjuvant/drug moiety and derivatives thereof conjugated to the antibody. Under high drug loading, formed aggregates must be removed for therapeutic applications. As a result, drug loading-mediated aggregate formation decreases macromolecule- supported compound yield and can render process scale-up difficult.

. The invention includes all reasonable combinations, and permutations of the features, of the Formula I embodiments. In certain embodiments, the macromolecule-supported compounds of the invention include those with immunostimulatory activity. The antibody-drug conjugates of the invention selectively deliver an effective dose of a thienoazepine drug to tumor tissue, whereby greater selectivity (i.e., a lower efficacious dose) may be achieved while increasing the therapeutic index (“therapeutic window”) relative to unconjugated thienoazepine. Drug loading is represented by p, the number of TAZ moieties per antibody in a macromolecule-supported compound of Formula I. Drug (TAZ) loading may range from 1 to about 50 drug (adjuvant) moieties (D) per antibody. Macromolecule-supported compounds of Formula I include mixtures or collections of macromolecular supports conjugated with a range of drug moieties, from 1 to about 25, or 1 to 6. In some embodiments, the number of drug moieties that can be conjugated to a macromolecular support is limited by the number of reactive or available nucleophiles such as amino acid side chain residues like lysine and cysteine. In some embodiments, free cysteine residues are introduced into an antibody amino acid sequence by the methods described herein. In such aspects, p may be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, and ranges thereof, such as from 1 to 8 or from 2 to 5. In any such aspect, p and n are equal (i.e., p = n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8, or some range there between). Exemplary macromolecule- supported compounds of Formula I include, but are not limited to, antibodies that have 1, 2, 3, or 4 engineered cysteine amino acids (Lyon, R. et al. (2012) Methods in Enzym.502:123-138). In some embodiments, one or more free cysteine residues are already present in an antibody forming intrachain disulfide bonds, without the use of engineering, in which case the existing free cysteine residues may be used to conjugate the antibody to a drug. In some embodiments, an antibody is exposed to reducing conditions prior to conjugation of the antibody in order to generate one or more free cysteine residues. For some macromolecule-supported compounds, p may be limited by the number of attachment sites on the macromolecular support. For example, where the attachment is a cysteine thiol, as in certain exemplary embodiments described herein, an antibody may have only one or a limited number of cysteine thiol groups, or may have only one or a limited number of sufficiently reactive thiol groups, to which the drug may be attached. In other embodiments, one or more lysine amino groups in the antibody may be available and reactive for conjugation with an TAZ-linker compound of Formula II. In certain embodiments, higher drug loading, e.g. p >5, may cause aggregation, insolubility, toxicity, or loss of cellular permeability of certain macromolecule-support compounds. In certain embodiments, the average drug loading for a macromolecule-supported compound ranges from 1 to about 8; from about 2 to about 6; or from about 3 to about 5. In certain embodiments, an antibody is subjected to denaturing conditions to reveal reactive nucleophilic groups such as lysine or cysteine. The loading (drug/antibody ratio) of a macromolecule-supported compound may be controlled in different ways, and for example, by: (i) limiting the molar excess of the TAZ-linker intermediate compound relative to macromolecular support, (ii) limiting the conjugation reaction time or temperature, and (iii) partial or limiting reductive denaturing conditions for optimized reactivity. It is to be understood that where more than one nucleophilic group of the macromolecular support reacts with a drug, then the resulting product is a mixture of macromolecule-support compounds with a distribution of one or more TAZ drug moieties attached to the macromolecular support. The average number of drugs per antibody may be calculated from the mixture by a dual ELISA antibody assay, which is specific for antibody and specific for the drug. Individual macromolecule-supported compound molecules may be identified in the mixture by mass spectroscopy and separated by HPLC, e.g. hydrophobic interaction chromatography (see, e.g., McDonagh et al. (2006) Prot. Engr. Design & Selection 19(7):299-307; Hamblett et al. (2004) Clin. Cancer Res.10:7063-7070; Hamblett, K.J., et al. “Effect of drug loading on the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity of an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate,” Abstract No.624, American Association for Cancer Research, 2004 Annual Meeting, March 27-31, 2004, Proceedings of the AACR, Volume 45, March 2004; Alley, S.C., et al. “Controlling the location of drug attachment in antibody-drug conjugates,” Abstract No.627, American Association for Cancer Research, 2004 Annual Meeting, March 27- 31, 2004, Proceedings of the AACR, Volume 45, March 2004). In certain embodiments, a homogeneous macromolecule-supported compound with a single loading value may be isolated from the conjugation mixture by electrophoresis or chromatography. An exemplary embodiment of the macromolecule-supported compounds of Formula I is selected from Table 3. BSA (bovine serum albumin) has numerous biochemical applications including ELISAs (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), immunoblots, and immunohistochemistry. Because BSA is a small, stable, moderately non-reactive protein, it is often used as a blocker in immunohistochemistry. KLH peptide (Thermo Scientific Imject™ Mariculture KLH) is a purified keyhole limpet hemocyanin carrier protein that enables simple preparation of highly effective immunogens with peptide antigens. Table 3 Macromolecule-supported compounds (MSC) COMPOSITIONS OF MACROMOLECULE-SUPPORTED COMPOUNDS The invention provides a composition, e.g., a pharmaceutically or pharmacologically acceptable composition or formulation, comprising a plurality of macromolecule-supported compounds as described herein and optionally a carrier therefor, e.g., a pharmaceutically or pharmacologically acceptable carrier. The macromolecule-supported compounds can be the same or different in the composition, i.e., the composition can comprise macromolecule- supported compounds that have the same number of adjuvants linked to the same positions on the antibody construct and/or macromolecule-supported compounds that have the same number of TAZ adjuvants linked to different positions on the antibody construct, that have different numbers of adjuvants linked to the same positions on the antibody construct, or that have different numbers of adjuvants linked to different positions on the antibody construct. In an exemplary embodiment, a composition comprising the macromolecule-supported compound comprises a mixture of the macromolecule-supported compounds, wherein the average drug (TAZ) loading per macromolecular support in the mixture of macromolecule- supported compounds is about 2 to about 5. A composition of macromolecule-supported compounds of the invention can have an average adjuvant to macromolecular support ratio (DAR) of about 0.4 to about 10. A skilled artisan will recognize that the number of thienoazepine adjuvants conjugated to the macromolecular support, e.g. antibody construct, may vary from macromolecule-supported compound to macromolecule-supported compound in a composition comprising multiple macromolecule-supported compounds of the invention, and, thus, the adjuvant to antibody construct (e.g., antibody) ratio can be measured as an average, which may be referred to as the drug to antibody ratio (DAR). The adjuvant to antibody construct (e.g., antibody) ratio can be assessed by any suitable means, many of which are known in the art. The average number of adjuvant moieties per macromolecule-support (DAR) in preparations of macromolecule-supported compounds from conjugation reactions may be characterized by conventional means such as mass spectrometry, ELISA assay, and HPLC. The quantitative distribution of macromolecule-supported compounds in a composition in terms of p may also be determined. In some instances, separation, purification, and characterization of homogeneous macromolecule-supported compounds where p is a certain value from macromolecule-supported compounds with other drug loadings may be achieved by means such as reverse phase HPLC or electrophoresis. In some embodiments, the macromolecule-supported compound further comprises one or more pharmaceutically or pharmacologically acceptable excipients. For example, the macromolecule-supported compounds of the invention can be formulated for parenteral administration, such as IV administration or administration into a body cavity or lumen of an organ. Alternatively, the macromolecule-supported compounds can be injected intra-tumorally. Compositions for injection will commonly comprise a solution of the macromolecule-supported compound dissolved in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water and an isotonic solution of one or more salts such as sodium chloride, e.g., Ringer's solution. In addition, sterile fixed oils can conventionally be employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid can likewise be used in the preparation of injectables. These compositions desirably are sterile and generally free of undesirable matter. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional, well known sterilization techniques. The compositions can contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances as required to approximate physiological conditions such as pH adjusting and buffering agents, toxicity adjusting agents, e.g., sodium acetate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium lactate and the like. The composition can contain any suitable concentration of the macromolecule-supported compound. The concentration of the macromolecule-supported compound in the composition can vary widely, and will be selected primarily based on fluid volumes, viscosities, body weight, and the like, in accordance with the particular mode of administration selected and the patient's needs. In certain embodiments, the concentration of a macromolecule-supported compound in a solution formulation for injection will range from about 0.1% (w/w) to about 10% (w/w).

A teratoma is a type of germ cell tumor that may contain several different types of tissue (e.g., can include tissues derived from any and/or all of the three germ layers: endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm), including, for example, hair, muscle, and bone. Teratomas occur most often in the ovaries in women, the testicles in men, and the tailbone in children. Melanoma is a form of cancer that begins in melanocytes (cells that make the pigment melanin). Melanoma may begin in a mole (skin melanoma), but can also begin in other pigmented tissues, such as in the eye or in the intestines. Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare type of skin cancer that usually appears as a flesh-colored or bluish-red nodule on the face, head or neck. Merkel cell carcinoma is also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin. In some embodiments, methods for treating Merkel cell carcinoma include administering a macromolecule-supported compound containing an antibody construct that is capable of binding PD-L1 (e.g., atezolizumab, durvalumab, avelumab, biosimilars thereof, or biobetters thereof). In some embodiments, the Merkel cell carcinoma has metastasized when administration occurs. Leukemias are cancers that start in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow, and cause large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream. For example, leukemias can originate in bone marrow-derived cells that normally mature in the bloodstream. Leukemias are named for how quickly the disease develops and progresses (e.g., acute versus chronic) and for the type of white blood cell that is affected (e.g., myeloid versus lymphoid). Myeloid leukemias are also called myelogenous or myeloblastic leukemias. Lymphoid leukemias are also called lymphoblastic or lymphocytic leukemia. Lymphoid leukemia cells may collect in the lymph nodes, which can become swollen. Examples of leukemias include, but are not limited to, Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Lymphomas are cancers that begin in cells of the immune system. For example, lymphomas can originate in bone marrow-derived cells that normally mature in the lymphatic system. There are two basic categories of lymphomas. One category of lymphoma is Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), which is marked by the presence of a type of cell called the Reed-Sternberg cell. There are currently 6 recognized types of HL. Examples of Hodgkin lymphomas include nodular sclerosis classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), mixed cellularity CHL, lymphocyte- depletion CHL, lymphocyte-rich CHL, and nodular lymphocyte predominant HL. The other category of lymphoma is non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), which includes a large, diverse group of cancers of immune system cells. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can be further divided into cancers that have an indolent (slow-growing) course and those that have an aggressive (fast-growing) course. There are currently 61 recognized types of NHL. Examples of non-Hodgkin lymphomas include, but are not limited to, AIDS-related Lymphomas, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic lymphoma, blastic NK-cell lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, Burkitt-like lymphoma (small non-cleaved cell lymphoma), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, cutaneous T-Cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma, enteropathy-type T-Cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, hepatosplenic gamma- delta T-Cell lymphomas, T-Cell leukemias, lymphoblastic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, nasal T-Cell lymphoma, pediatric lymphoma, peripheral T-Cell lymphomas, primary central nervous system lymphoma, transformed lymphomas, treatment- related T-Cell lymphomas, and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.

Macromolecule-supported compounds of the invention can be used either alone or in combination with other agents in a therapy. For instance, a macromolecule-supported compound may be co-administered with at least one additional therapeutic agent, such as a chemotherapeutic agent. Such combination therapies encompass combined administration (where two or more therapeutic agents are included in the same or separate formulations), and separate administration, in which case, administration of the macromolecule-supported compound can occur prior to, simultaneously, and/or following, administration of the additional therapeutic agent and/or adjuvant. Macromolecule-supported compounds can also be used in combination with radiation therapy. The macromolecule-supported compounds of the invention (and any additional therapeutic agent) can be administered by any suitable means, including parenteral, intrapulmonary, and intranasal, and, if desired for local treatment, intralesional administration. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. Dosing can be by any suitable route, e.g. by injections, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injections, depending in part on whether the administration is brief or chronic. Various dosing schedules including but not limited to single or multiple administrations over various time-points, bolus administration, and pulse infusion are contemplated herein. Atezolizumab, durvalumab, avelumab, biosimilars thereof, and biobetters thereof are known to be useful in the treatment of cancer, particularly breast cancer, especially triple negative (test negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and excess HER2 protein) breast cancer, bladder cancer, and Merkel cell carcinoma. The macromolecule-supported compound described herein can be used to treat the same types of cancers as atezolizumab, durvalumab, avelumab, biosimilars thereof, and biobetters thereof, particularly breast cancer, especially triple negative (test negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and excess HER2 protein) breast cancer, bladder cancer, and Merkel cell carcinoma. The macromolecule-supported compound is administered to a subject in need thereof in any therapeutically effective amount using any suitable dosing regimen, such as the dosing regimens utilized for atezolizumab, durvalumab, avelumab, biosimilars thereof, and biobetters thereof. For example, the methods can include administering the macromolecule-supported compound to provide a dose of from about 100 ng/kg to about 50 mg/kg to the subject. The macromolecule-supported compound dose can range from about 5 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, from about 10 µg/kg to about 5 mg/kg, or from about 100 µg/kg to about 1 mg/kg. The macromolecule-supported compound dose can be about 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 µg/kg. The macromolecule-supported compound dose can be about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 mg/kg. The macromolecule-supported compound dose can also be outside of these ranges, depending on the particular conjugate as well as the type and severity of the cancer being treated. Frequency of administration can range from a single dose to multiple doses per week, or more frequently. In some embodiments, the macromolecule-supported compound is administered from about once per month to about five times per week. In some embodiments, the macromolecule-supported compound is administered once per week. In another aspect, the invention provides a method for preventing cancer. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a macromolecule-supported compound (e.g., as a composition as described above) to a subject. In certain embodiments, the subject is susceptible to a certain cancer to be prevented. For example, the methods can include administering the macromolecule-supported compound to provide a dose of from about 100 ng/kg to about 50 mg/kg to the subject.

Example 201 Preparation of Macromolecule-supported compounds (MSC) In an exemplary procedure, a macromolecule is buffer-exchanged into a conjugation buffer containing 100 mM boric acid, 50 mM sodium chloride, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid at pH 8.3, using G-25 SEPHADEX TM desalting columns (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). The eluates are then each adjusted to a concentration of about 1-10 mg/ml using the buffer and then sterile filtered. The macromolecule is pre-warmed to 20- 30 °C and rapidly mixed with 2-20 (e.g., 7-10) molar equivalents of thienoazepine-linker (TAZ- L) compound of Formula II. The reaction is allowed to proceed for about 16 hours at 30 °C and the MSC is separated from reactants by running over two successive G-25 desalting columns equilibrated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.2 to provide the MSC of Table 3. Adjuvant-macromolecule ratio (DAR) is determined by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis using a C4 reverse phase column on an ACQUITY TM UPLC H-class (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA) connected to a XEVO TM G2-XS TOF mass spectrometer (Waters Corporation). For conjugation, the macromolecule may be dissolved in a aqueous buffer system known in the art that will not adversely impact the stability or antigen-binding specificity of the macromolecule. Phosphate buffered saline may be used. The thienoazepine-linker (TAZ-L) intermediate compound is dissolved in a solvent system comprising at least one polar aprotic solvent as described elsewhere herein. In some such aspects, thienoazepine-linker (TAZ-L) intermediate is dissolved to a concentration of about 5 mM, about 10 mM, about 20 mM, about 30 mM, about 40 mM or about 50 mM, and ranges thereof such as from about 5 mM to about 50mM or from about 10 mM to about 30 mM in pH 8 Tris buffer (e.g., 50 mM Tris). In some aspects, the thienoazepine-linker intermediate is dissolved in DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), DMA (dimethylacetamide) or acetonitrile, or another suitable dipolar aprotic solvent. Alternatively in the conjugation reaction, an equivalent excess of thienoazepine-linker (TAZ-L) intermediate solution may be diluted and combined with macromolecule solution. The thienoazepine-linker intermediate solution may suitably be diluted with at least one polar aprotic solvent and at least one polar protic solvent, examples of which include water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and acetic acid. The molar equivalents of thienoazepine-linker intermediate to antibody may be about 1.5:1, about 3:1, about 5:1, about 10:1, about 15:1, or about 20:1, and ranges thereof, such as from about 1.5:1 to about 20:1 from about 1.5:1 to about 15:1, from about 1.5:1 to about 10:1,from about 3:1 to about 15:1, from about 3:1 to about 10:1, from about 5:1 to about 15:1 or from about 5:1 to about 10:1. The reaction may suitably be monitored for completion by methods known in the art, such as LC-MS. The conjugation reaction is typically complete in a range from about 1 hour to about 16 hours. After the reaction is complete, a reagent may be added to the reaction mixture to quench the reaction. If macromolecule thiol groups are reacting with a thiol-reactive group such as maleimide of the thienoazepine-linker intermediate, unreacted macromolecule thiol groups may be reacted with a capping reagent. An example of a suitable capping reagent is ethylmaleimide. Following conjugation, the MSC may be purified and separated from unconjugated reactants and/or conjugate aggregates by purification methods known in the art such as, for example and not limited to, size exclusion chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, chromatofocusing, ultrafiltration, centrifugal ultrafiltration, tangential flow filtration, and combinations thereof. For instance, purification may be preceded by diluting the MSC, such in 20 mM sodium succinate, pH 5. The diluted solution is applied to a cation exchange column followed by washing with, e.g., at least 10 column volumes of 20 mM sodium succinate, pH 5. The conjugate may be suitably eluted with a buffer such as PBS. Example 202 HEK Reporter Assay HEK293 reporter cells expressing human TLR7 or human TLR8 were purchased from Invivogen and vendor protocols were followed for cellular propagation and experimentation. Briefly, cells were grown to 80-85% confluence at 5% CO 2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, Zeocin, and Blasticidin. Cells were then seeded in 96-well flat plates at 4x10 4 cells/well with substrate containing HEK detection medium and immunostimulatory molecules. Activity was measured using a plate reader at 620-655 nm wavelength. Example 203 Assessment of Macromolecule-supported compound (MSC) Activity In Vitro This example shows that Macromolecule-supported compounds (MSC) may be effective at eliciting myeloid activation and useful for the treatment of cancer. Isolation of Human Antigen Presenting Cells: Human myeloid antigen presenting cells (APCs) were negatively selected from human peripheral blood obtained from healthy blood donors (Stanford Blood Center, Palo Alto, California) by density gradient centrifugation using a ROSETTESEP TM Human Monocyte Enrichment Cocktail (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, Canada) containing monoclonal antibodies against CD14, CD16, CD40, CD86, CD123, and HLA-DR. Immature APCs were subsequently purified to >90% purity via negative selection using an EASYSEP TM Human Monocyte Enrichment Kit (Stem Cell Technologies) without CD16 depletion containing monoclonal antibodies against CD14, CD16, CD40, CD86, CD123, and HLA-DR. Myeloid APC Activation Assay: 2 x 10 5 APCs were incubated in 96-well plates (Corning, Corning, NY) containing iscove’s modified dulbecco’s medium, IMDM (Lonza) supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 µg/mL (micrograms per milliliter) streptomycin, 2 mM L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate, non-essential amino acids, and where indicated, various concentrations of unconjugated (naked) PD-L1 or HER2 antibodies and MSC (as prepared according to the Example above). Trastuzumab and avelumab were used as the antibody constructs. Cell-free supernatants were analyzed after 18 hours via ELISA to measure TNFα secretion as a readout of a proinflammatory response.
