Abstract

Described herein are humanized anti-TL1A antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).

Claims (22)

1. An antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof that binds to tumor necrosis factor-like protein 1A (TL1A), comprising

a heavy chain variable region comprising: (a) a HCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 553; (b) a HCDR2 comprising an amino acid sequence set forth by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 554 to 564 or 574 to 577; and (c) a HCDR3 comprising an amino acid sequence set forth by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 565 to 568 or 579 to 581; and

a light chain variable region comprising: (d) a LCDR1 comprising an amino acid sequence set forth by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 569 or 570; (e) a LCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 488; and (f) a LCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 572.

2. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the HCDR2 comprises the amino acid sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO: 554.

3. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the HCDR2 comprises the amino acid sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO: 555.

4. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the HCDR3 comprises the amino acid sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO: 565.

5. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the HCDR3 comprises the amino acid sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO: 566.

6. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the LCDR1 comprises the amino acid sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO: 569.

7. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , comprising a modified IgG fragment-crystallizable (Fc) region, an IgG2 Fc region, or an IgG4 Fc region, wherein the Fc region of the antibody or antigen binding fragment has reduced effector function as compared to an unmodified IgG1.

8. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 7 , wherein the modified IgG1 Fc region, the IgG2 Fc region, or the IgG4 Fc region has reduced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or reduced complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).

9. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment is humanized.

10. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises a human heavy chain germline framework or a modified human heavy chain germline framework.

11. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 1 , comprising a kappa light chain constant region.

12. An antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof that binds to tumor necrosis factor-like protein 1A (TL1A), comprising

a heavy chain variable region comprising: (a) a HCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 553, (b) a HCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 554, and (c) a HCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 565; and

a light chain variable region comprising: (d) a LCDR1 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 569, (e) a LCDR2 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 488, and (f) a LCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO: 572.

13. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 12 , comprising a modified IgG fragment-crystallizable (Fc) region, an IgG2 Fc region, or an IgG4 region, wherein the Fc region of the antibody or antigen binding fragment has reduced effector function as compared to an unmodified IgG1.

14. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 13 , wherein the modified IgG1 Fc region, the IgG2 Fc region, or the IgG4 Fc region has reduced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and/or reduced complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).

15. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 12 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment is humanized.

16. A The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 12 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment comprises a human heavy chain germline framework or a modified human heavy chain germline framework.

17. The antibody or antigen binding fragment of claim 12 , comprising a kappa light chain constant region.

18. A composition comprising the antibody of claim 12 .
