Abstract

Anti-SIRPα antibodies, including multi-specific anti-SIRPα antibodies, are provided, as are related compositions and methods. The antibodies of the disclosure bind to SIRPα and can block the interaction of CD47 on one cell with SIRPα on a phagocytic cell.

Claims (50)

1. An isolated humanized anti-SIRPα antibody of comprising a heavy chain comprising a variable heavy (V H ) chain sequence comprising three heavy chain CDR sequences, CDR-H1, CDR-H2, and CDR-H3, and a light chain comprising a variable light (V L ) chain sequence comprising three light chain CDR sequences, CDR-L1, CDR-L2, and CDR-L3, wherein:

CDR-H1 comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1; CDR-H2 comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; CDR-H3 comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:3; CDR-L1 comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:4; CDR-L2 comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:5; and CDR-L3 comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6.

2. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein:

the V H chain sequence comprises the V H sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 and the V L chain sequence comprises the V L sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8.

3. The isolated antibody of claim 2 , wherein:

the heavy chain comprises the heavy chain sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:17 and the light chain comprises the light chain sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:18.

4. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody comprises a human Fc region with reduced Fc-dependent function(s).

5. The isolated antibody of claim 4 , wherein the human Fc region is IgG1 or IgG4.

6. The isolated antibody of claim 4 , wherein the human Fc region with reduced Fc-dependent function(s) comprises at least one modification that reduces binding to a human Fc receptor.

7. The isolated antibody of claim 6 , wherein the human Fc region is IgG1 and the Fc region modification comprises a modification at EU index position asparagine 297.

8. The isolated antibody of claim 7 , wherein the human IgG1 Fc region modification comprises an N297A amino acid substitution, numbering according to EU index.

9. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody:

a. competes for binding to human SIRPα with a 1H9 antibody;

b. does not compete for binding to human SIRPα with KWar antibody;

c. partially competes for binding to human SIRPα with KWar antibody;

d. inhibits binding of human CD47 to human SIRPα;

e. inhibits binding of human SP-A to human SIRPα;

f. inhibits binding of human SP-D to human SIRPα;

g. binds to rhesus monkey SIRPα;

h. binds to cynomolgus SIRPα;

i. increases phagocytosis relative to control;

j. binds each of human SIRPα alleles V1 and V2;

k. binds each of human SIRPα alleles V1, V2, and V1/V5;

l. binds human SIRPα allele V1;

m. binds human SIRPα allele V2; or

n. is capable of any combination of (a)-(m).

10. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is pan-specific for human SIRPa isotypes.

11. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody binds greater than one antigen or greater than one epitope on a single antigen.

12. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the V H chain sequence consists of the V H sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 and the V L chain sequence consists of the V L sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8.

13. The isolated antibody of claim 2 , wherein the heavy chain consists of the sequence set forth in of SEQ ID NO:17 and the light chain consists of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:18.

14. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the V H sequence comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 and the V L sequence comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8; and wherein the antibody comprises a human Fc region with reduced Fc-dependent function(s).

15. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the V H chain sequence comprises the V H sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 and the V L chain sequence comprises the V L sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8; and wherein the antibody comprises a human IgG1 Fc region with a modification at EU index position asparagine 297.

16. The isolated antibody of claim 1 , wherein the V H chain sequence comprises the V H sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7 and the V L chain sequence comprises the V L sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8; and wherein the antibody comprises a human IgG1 Fc region with an N297A amino acid substitution, numbering according to EU index.

17. The isolated antibody of claim 2 , wherein the heavy chain comprises the sequence set forth in of SEQ ID NO:17 and the light chain comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:18; and wherein the antibody comprises a human Fc region with reduced Fc-dependent function(s).

18. The isolated antibody of claim 2 , wherein the heavy chain comprises the sequence set forth in of SEQ ID NO:17 and the light chain comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:18; and wherein the antibody comprises a human IgG1 Fc region with a modification at EU index position asparagine 297.

19. The isolated antibody of claim 2 , wherein the heavy chain comprises the sequence set forth in of SEQ ID NO:17 and the light chain comprises the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:18; and wherein the antibody comprises a human IgG1 Fc region with an N297A amino acid substitution, numbering according to EU index.

20. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 2 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

21. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 3 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

22. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 12 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

23. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody of claim 15 and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

24. An isolated polynucleotide or set of polynucleotides encoding the isolated antibody of claim 1 , a V H thereof, a V L thereof, a light chain thereof, a heavy chain thereof, or an antigen-binding portion thereof.
