Abstract

The invention provides antibodies, antibody drug conjugates, antibody-based fragments or antibody fragments (antigen-binding fragments), as well as antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), that specifically recognize human ROR1 and related compositions. Also provided in the invention are methods of using such antibodies in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Claims (56)

1. An antibody, antibody-based binding protein or antibody fragment that specifically binds to the extracellular domain of human receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), comprising heavy chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 sequences and light chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 sequences respectively set forth as

SEQ ID NOs:27-29 and SEQ ID NOs:66-68.

2. A pharmaceutical composition comprising (1) a therapeutically effective amount of the antibody, antibody-based binding protein or antibody fragment of claim 1 and (2) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

3. A method of treating a disease or condition associated with elevated expression of ROR1 in a subject, comprising administering the pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 to a subject having a disease or condition associated with elevated expression of ROR1, thereby treating the disease or condition associated with elevated expression of ROR1 in the subject.

4. A polynucleotide encoding an antibody, antibody-based binding protein or antibody fragment that specifically binds to the extracellular domain of human receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), comprising heavy chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 sequences and light chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 sequences respectively set forth as

SEQ ID NOs:27-29 and SEQ ID NOs:66-68.

(i) an antibody, antibody-based binding protein or antibody fragment that specifically binds to the extracellular domain of human receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), comprising heavy chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 sequences and light chain CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 sequences respectively set forth as

SEQ ID NOs:27-29 and SEQ ID NOs:66-68,

and

(ii) at least one cytotoxic agent.

6. The antibody drug conjugate of claim 5 , wherein the cytotoxic agent is a small molecular weight toxin, a peptide toxin, or a protein toxin.

8. The antibody drug conjugate of claim 5 , wherein the cytotoxic agent is anthracycline (PNU) toxin derivative Gly (n) -EDA-PNU, where n is any number from 1 to 21.

9. A method of killing or inhibiting the growth of a tumor cell expressing ROR1 in a subject, comprising administering the antibody drug conjugate of claim 5 to a subject in need thereof, thereby killing or inhibiting the growth of the tumor cell expressing ROR1 in the subject.

10. A method of killing or inhibiting the growth of a tumor cell expressing ROR1 in a subject, comprising administering the antibody drug conjugate of claim 5 to a subject in need thereof, thereby killing or inhibiting the growth of the tumor cell expressing ROR1 in the subject.

11. A humanized antibody, antibody-based binding protein or antibody fragment that specifically binds to the extracellular domain of human receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), comprising a heavy chain variable region sequence and a light chain variable region sequence respectively set forth as

(1) SEQ ID NO:130 and SEQ ID NO:136;

(2) SEQ ID NO:131 and SEQ ID NO:137;

(3) SEQ ID NO:132 and SEQ ID NO:138;

12. A pharmaceutical composition comprising (1) a therapeutically effective amount of the humanized antibody, antibody-based binding protein or antibody fragment of claim 11 and (2) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

13. A method of treating a disease or condition associated with elevated expression of ROR1 in a subject, comprising administering the pharmaceutical composition of claim 12 to a subject having a disease or condition associated with elevated expression of ROR1, thereby treating the disease or condition associated with elevated expression of ROR1 in the subject.

14. A polynucleotide encoding a humanized antibody, antibody-based binding protein or antibody fragment that specifically binds to the extracellular domain of human receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), comprising a heavy chain variable region sequence and a light chain variable region sequence respectively set forth as
