Abstract

Radionuclide-labeled soluble biologics directed against peptide presenting Major Histocompatibility Complexes (pMHCs), and methods for treating cancers using the biologics are provided. Soluble biologics include recombinant T-cell receptor proteins (rTCR) and TCR-antibody mimics that specifically bind to pMHCs. The soluble biologics may further include a heavy chain of IgG1, IgG2, IgG4, or variants thereof. The radioisotopes used to label the soluble biologic may include alpha-emitting isotopes, such as actinium-225, or beta-emitting isotopes, such as lutetium-177, and may be administered at a maximum tolerated dose in a single bolus or in fractionated doses that together equal the maximum tolerated dose. The methods may further include administration of additional therapeutic agents or modalities.

Claims (48)

1. A method for treating a cancer in a human subject, comprising administering a composition consisting essentially of an effective amount of a radiolabeled antibody comprising:

an antibody component comprising the complementarity determining regions (CDRs):

CDR H1  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 177)

DYAMH, 

CDR H2  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 178)

GISWNSGSIGYADSVKG,

CDR H3  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 179)

GRGFHYYYYGMDI,

CDR L1  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 180)

GGNNIGSRSVH,

CDR L2  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 181)

DDSDRPS, and

CDR L3  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 182)

QVWDSRTDHWV;

a chelator chemically conjugated to the antibody component, wherein the chelator is DOTA or a DOTA derivative; and

225 Ac radionuclide chelated by the chelator.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody has been conjugated to DOTA by reaction of the unconjugated antibody with p-SCN-Bn-DOTA.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer, tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck carcinoma, endometrial cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, or cutaneous melanoma.

4. A method for treating a cancer in a human subject, comprising administering a composition consisting essentially of an effective amount of a radiolabeled antibody comprising:

an antibody component comprising the complementarity determining regions (CDRs):

CDR H1  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 177)

DYAMH, 

CDR H2  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 178)

GISWNSGSIGYADSVKG,

CDR H3  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 179)

GRGFHYYYYGMDI,

CDR L1  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 180)

GGNNIGSRSVH,

CDR L2  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 181)

DDSDRPS, and

CDR L3  comprising amino acid sequence 

(SEQ ID NO: 182)

QVWDSRTDHWV;

a chelator chemically conjugated to the antibody component, wherein the chelator is DOTA or a DOTA derivative; and

225 Ac radionuclide chelated by the chelator,

wherein the antibody has been conjugated to DOTA by reaction of the unconjugated antibody with p-SCN-Bn-DOTA, and

wherein the cancer is breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer, tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck carcinoma, endometrial cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, melanoma, or cutaneous melanoma.
