Monoclonal antibodies represent the fastest growing sector of pharmaceutical biotechnology and a number of antibody-based biopharmaceuticals have been approved for cancer treatment. The recent introduction of antibodies directed against immune check-point inhibitors is revolutionizing the way patients with metastatic disease are treated. However, although much of the current focus in cancer immunotherapy is on immune check-point blockade, those products are rarely able to induce durable complete responses. Cytokines are modulators of immune activity and some cytokine-based products play an important role in providing complementary anti-cancer opportunities, alone and in combination. Our Laboratory at ETH Zürich has almost 20 years of experience in the development of antibody-cytokine fusions for cancer therapy. In order to accumulate cytokine payloads at the tumor site, the use of antibody “vehicles” specific to targets associated with newly-formed blood vessels (“vascular targeting”) is particularly attractive, because of the dependence of many different tumors on new blood vessels to sustain growth and invasion, and because of the accessibility of neo-vascular structures for therapeutic agents injected intravenously [Neri & Bicknell (2005) Nat. Rev. Cancer, 5, 436; Neri & Supuran (2011) Nat. Rev. Drug Discov., 10, 767]. The newly-formed blood vessels in cancer and in other diseases (e.g., endometriosis) are different at the molecular level, compared to normal blood vessels. Markers of angiogenesis can be discovered by the perfusion-based chemical modification (i.e., biotinylation) of blood vessels, followed by a mass-spectrometric analysis of biotinylated proteins [Rybak et al. (2005) Nat. Methods, 2, 291; Schliemann et al. (2010) Blood, 115, 736]. Our group has previously developed vascular targeting antibody-cytokine fusions, which are currently being investigated in Phase I, Phase II and Phase III clinical trials in collaboration with industry.After having fused more than 50 payloads to antibodies of proven tumor-targeting performance, we now know that fusions based on interleukin-2, interleukin-12, interleukin-15 and tumor necrosis factor are particularly attractive for anti-cancer applications. In this Project, we wish to develop novel antibody-cytokine strategies, which further enhance therapeutic activity and selectivity. Specifically, the main goals of the current Project can be summarized as follows:• Improvement of the tumor-homing properties and of therapeutic activity of IL15-based pharmaceuticals: a class of products which (until now) has been difficult to efficiently deliver to neoplastic lesions• Development of kinetically-tuned transient inhibitors of immunocytokine activity, in order to decrease systemic toxicity and maximize activity at the site of disease of cytokine-based therapeutics• Exploration of antibody-cytokine fusions for the potentiation of intact antibodies, bispecific antibodies and CAR-T biopharmaceuticals• Investigations on the possibility to replace cytokine payloads with human antibody fragments or with small organic ligands, isolated from DNA-encoded combinatorial librariesIf the new concepts and products developed in this Project are successful in preclinical models of cancer, this will open immediate clinical and industrial applications.
