Definitions
- the disclosure provided herein relates to methods of treating AL amyloidosis using trispecific antibodies or trispecific binding fragments thereof that bind B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), G-protein coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member D (GPRC5D), and cluster determinant 3 (CD3).
- BCMA B-cell maturation antigen
- GPRC5D group 5, member D
- CD3 cluster determinant 3
- AL (light chain) amyloidosis is a rare disorder caused by clonal plasma cells that secrete immunoglobulin light chains that misfold into insoluble amyloid.
- the insoluble amyloid is deposited in vital organs, such as the heart, kidney, and liver, throughout the nervous system, GI tract and soft tissue, creating a variable clinical picture. Deposition of amyloid in vital organs results in serious and life-threatening organ dysfunction. The spectrum of morbidity and risk of mortality are determined by the pattern and extent of organ involvement (Gertz 2005; Gertz 2010). Predominantly affected organs include the kidney and heart (Merlini 2018).
- Cardiac involvement is anticipated to be present in approximately 70% of patients (Palladini 2016), and approximately one-third of participants die within the first year of diagnosis largely due to cardiac involvement (Palladini 2012a).
- Palladini 2012a Among participants with renal involvement, about one-third progress to dialysis.
- OS overall survival
- the incidence of systemic AL amyloidosis is estimated to range from 0.3 to 0.8 cases per 100,000 persons (Gertz 2020; Pinney 2013).
- the standard treatment of AL amyloidosis is to target the abnormal clonal plasma cell in the bone marrow, which is the source of the amyloidogenic light chain. Eradicating the clonal plasma cell in AL amyloidosis eliminates the production of the immunoglobulin light chain that is both amyloidogenic and proteotoxic to organs. Achieving deep hematologic remission allows for organ improvement to occur over time (Muchtar 2019; Palladini 2012a). It has been demonstrated that the depth of hematologic response is associated with organ improvement and survival in participants with AL amyloidosis (Palladini 2012a). Thus, the optimal goal of therapy for AL amyloidosis is to achieve a complete hematologic response (HemCR) to prevent further end-organ damage, reverse existing organ dysfunction, and prolong OS (Merlini 2018).
- HemCR complete hematologic response
- B-cell maturation antigen also known as BCMA, CD269, TNFRSF17 (UniProt Q02223), is a member of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily that is exclusively expressed on B-cell lineage cells, and is selectively induced during plasma cell differentiation (Darce 2007, Tai 2015).
- BCMA is a non-glycosylated type I transmembrane protein, which is involved in B cell maturation, growth and survival.
- BCMA is a receptor for two ligands of the TNF superfamily: APRIL (a proliferationinducing ligand, CD256, TNFSF13), the high-affinity ligand to BCMA, and the B cell activation factor BAFF (THANK, BlyS, B lymphocyte stimulator, TALL-1 and zTNF4), the low-affinity ligand to BCMA.
- APRIL and BAFF show structural similarity and overlapping yet distinct receptor binding specificity.
- the negative regulator TACI also binds to both BAFF and APRIL.
- the coordinate binding of APRIL and BAFF to BCMA and/or TACI activates transcription factor NF-KB and increases the expression of pro-survival Bel -2 family members (e.g.
- Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w, Mcl-1, Al down regulates expression of pro-apoptotic factors (e.g. Bid, Bad, Bik, Bim, etc.), thus inhibiting apoptosis and promoting survival.
- pro-apoptotic factors e.g. Bid, Bad, Bik, Bim, etc.
- This combined action promotes B cell differentiation, proliferation, survival and antibody production (as reviewed in Rickert RC et al., Immunol Rev (2011) 244 (1): 115-133).
- BCMA also supports growth and survival of malignant human B cells, including multiple myeloma (MM) cells.
- MM multiple myeloma
- the BCMA receptor is a 184 amino acid protein with a 54 amino acid extracellular domain.
- BCMA is cleaved by gamma secretase activity at the transmembrane domain, generating a ⁇ 6 kDa soluble BCMA protein fragment (Laurent 2015).
- High levels of soluble BCMA were measured in MM patient serum samples (Pillarisetti 2020) and correlated with plasma cell counts (Sanchez 2012). Inhibition of gamma secretase results in significant increase of BCMA surface protein expression in human primary B cells (Laurent 2015) and MM cell lines and bone marrow mononuclear cells (Pillarisetti 2020).
- BCMA has been established as a validated target in MM with several approved therapeutics (Lonial 2020; Berdeja 2021; Munshi 2021).
- the selective expression of BCMA on Bcell lineage, specifically mature B cells and plasma cells makes it an ideal target for T-cell therapeutics that have been validated in clinical studies and resulted in several anti-BCMA therapeutic approvals (idecabtagene vicleucel, ciltacabtagene autoleucel, and belantamab mafodotin-blmf) .
- GPRC5D receptor is highly conserved among various species and shares 92% identity with cynomolgus monkey GPRC5D. GPRC5D is predominantly expressed in cells with a plasma cell phenotype and in hard keratinized tissues such as hair follicles (Inoue 2004; Smith 2019; Goldsmith 2021) and is also expressed in malignant plasma cells in patients with multiple myeloma (Atamaniuk 2012; Frigyesi 2014; Kodama 2019; Pillarisetti 2020) and in patients with systemic AL amyloidosis (Bal 2021).
- GPRC5D expression in patients with multiple myeloma correlated well with plasma cell burden and genetic aberrations such as retinoblastoma 1 deletion (Atamaniuk 2012).

- CDRs contribute to the functional activity of an antibody molecule and are separated by amino acid sequences that comprise scaffolding or framework regions.
- the exact definitional CDR boundaries and lengths are subject to different classification and numbering systems. CDRs may therefore be referred to herein by Kabat, Chothia, AbM, contact or any other boundary definitions.
- CDR definitions according to these systems may therefore differ in length and boundary areas with respect to the adjacent framework region. See for example Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed. NIH Publication No. 91-3242 (1991); Chothia et al., “Canonical Structures For the Hypervariable Regions of Immunoglobulins,” J. Mol. Biol. 196:901 (1987); and MacCallum et al., “Antibody-Antigen Interactions: Contact Analysis and Binding Site Topography,” J. Mol. Biol. 262:732 (1996)), each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- CDRs form a loop structure that can be classified as a canonical structure.
- canonical structure refers to the main chain conformation that is adopted by the antigen binding (CDR) loops. From comparative structural studies, it has been found that five of the six antigen binding loops have only a limited repertoire of available conformations. Each canonical structure can be characterized by the torsion angles of the polypeptide backbone. Correspondent loops between antibodies may, therefore, have very similar three dimensional structures, despite high amino acid sequence variability in most parts of the loops (Chothia et al., “Canonical Structures For the Hypervariable Regions of Immunoglobulins,” J. Mol. Biol.
- polypeptide is used interchangeably with the term “protein” and in its broadest sense refers to a compound of two or more subunit amino acids, amino acid analogs or peptidomimetics.

- EXAMPLE 1 Molecule Design, Sequence, and Structure ofBGCB491 trispecific antibody
- BGCB491 is an immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 trispecific antibody that can bind simultaneously or independently to the epsilon subunit of the cluster of differentiation 3 receptor complex (CD3e) (Uniprot ID: P07766) on T lymphocytes (T cells), and to GPRC5D (G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D, Uniprot ID: Q9NZD1) and BCMA (B cell maturation antigen, TNFRSF17, Uniprot ID: Q02223) on tumor cells.
- CD3e cluster of differentiation 3 receptor complex
- GPRC5D G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D, Uniprot ID: Q9NZD1
- BCMA B cell maturation antigen, TNFRSF17, Uniprot ID: Q02223
- the antibody features mutations of L234A, L235A, and D265S in the constant region (Fc) to abolish interaction with Fc receptors and heterodimerization is enhanced using the knobs-into-holes platform mutations f
- the anti-CD3e “hole” chain also featured “RF” mutations (H435R, Y436F) to disrupt protein A binding of monomeric and homodimerized hole chains 2 .
- the molecule comprises an anti-CD3e Fab region on the “hole, RF” chain and an anti-GPRC5D scFv v-region fused onto the C -terminus.
- the “knob” chain features the anti-BCMA scFv.
- the trispecific antibody was developed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of dual tumor targeting GPRC5D and BCMA and CD3 for T cell redirection.
- An illustration of BGCB491 is depicted in FIG. 1.
- the trispecific BGCB491 antibody was generated by co-expression of the anti- CD3 heavy chain (HC) A fused to the C-terminal anti-GPRC5D scFv and anti-CD3 light chain (LC) with the anti-BCMA scFv fused to “knob” containing heavy chain B.
- the anti-CD3 variable region (VR000017350) was discovered by immunizing transgenic humanized rats [OmniRat (OMTTM)] with recombinant CD3s protein.
- the anti-GPRC5d variable region (VR000038761) featured in BGCB491 is derived from the mAb GC5B680, discovered by immunizing transgenic humanized mice [Ablexis] with DNA encoding GPRC5d.
- the parent v-region (VR000029832) contained an “NSS” motif in the HC framework 3 region which presented a risk for N-linked glycosylation and which represented a mutation from the IGHV2-26*01 germline. The site was mutated back to the germline sequence “STS” to eliminate the risk for N- linked glycosylation, and this change resulted in the final variable region VR000038761.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The disclosure provided herein relates to methods of treating AL amyloidosis using trispecific antibodies or trispecific binding fragments thereof that bind B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), G-protein coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member D (GPRC5D), and cluster determinant 3 (CD3).
BACKGROUND
[0004] AL (light chain) amyloidosis is a rare disorder caused by clonal plasma cells that secrete immunoglobulin light chains that misfold into insoluble amyloid. The insoluble amyloid is deposited in vital organs, such as the heart, kidney, and liver, throughout the nervous system, GI tract and soft tissue, creating a variable clinical picture. Deposition of amyloid in vital organs results in serious and life-threatening organ dysfunction. The spectrum of morbidity and risk of mortality are determined by the pattern and extent of organ involvement (Gertz 2005; Gertz 2010). Predominantly affected organs include the kidney and heart (Merlini 2018). Cardiac involvement is anticipated to be present in approximately 70% of patients (Palladini 2016), and
approximately one-third of participants die within the first year of diagnosis largely due to cardiac involvement (Palladini 2012a). Among participants with renal involvement, about one-third progress to dialysis. The involvement of other organs, eg, liver, GI tract, and peripheral and autonomic nerves, contributes to significant chronic morbidity and mortality, such that the overall survival (OS) rate at 2 years is only 60% (Muchtar 2017; Wechalekar 2015). The incidence of systemic AL amyloidosis is estimated to range from 0.3 to 0.8 cases per 100,000 persons (Gertz 2020; Pinney 2013).
[0005] The standard treatment of AL amyloidosis is to target the abnormal clonal plasma cell in the bone marrow, which is the source of the amyloidogenic light chain. Eradicating the clonal plasma cell in AL amyloidosis eliminates the production of the immunoglobulin light chain that is both amyloidogenic and proteotoxic to organs. Achieving deep hematologic remission allows for organ improvement to occur over time (Muchtar 2019; Palladini 2012a). It has been demonstrated that the depth of hematologic response is associated with organ improvement and survival in participants with AL amyloidosis (Palladini 2012a). Thus, the optimal goal of therapy for AL amyloidosis is to achieve a complete hematologic response (HemCR) to prevent further end-organ damage, reverse existing organ dysfunction, and prolong OS (Merlini 2018).
[0006] B-cell maturation antigen, also known as BCMA, CD269, TNFRSF17 (UniProt Q02223), is a member of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily that is exclusively expressed on B-cell lineage cells, and is selectively induced during plasma cell differentiation (Darce 2007, Tai 2015). BCMA is a non-glycosylated type I transmembrane protein, which is involved in B cell maturation, growth and survival. BCMA is a receptor for two ligands of the TNF superfamily: APRIL (a proliferationinducing ligand, CD256, TNFSF13), the high-affinity ligand to BCMA, and the B cell activation factor BAFF (THANK, BlyS, B lymphocyte stimulator, TALL-1 and zTNF4), the low-affinity ligand to BCMA. APRIL and BAFF show structural similarity and overlapping yet distinct receptor binding specificity. The negative regulator TACI also binds to both BAFF and APRIL. The coordinate binding of APRIL and BAFF to BCMA and/or TACI activates transcription factor NF-KB and increases the expression of pro-survival Bel -2 family members (e.g. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w, Mcl-1, Al) and down regulates expression of pro-apoptotic factors (e.g. Bid, Bad, Bik, Bim, etc.), thus inhibiting apoptosis and promoting survival. This combined action promotes
B cell differentiation, proliferation, survival and antibody production (as reviewed in Rickert RC et al., Immunol Rev (2011) 244 (1): 115-133). In line with this finding, BCMA also supports growth and survival of malignant human B cells, including multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Novak et al. found that MM cell lines and freshly isolated MM cells express BCMA and TACI protein on their cell surfaces and have variable expression of BAFF-R protein on their cell surface (Novak et al., (2004) Blood 103(2):689-694).
[0007] The BCMA receptor is a 184 amino acid protein with a 54 amino acid extracellular domain. In addition to expression on the cell surface, BCMA is cleaved by gamma secretase activity at the transmembrane domain, generating a ~6 kDa soluble BCMA protein fragment (Laurent 2015). High levels of soluble BCMA were measured in MM patient serum samples (Pillarisetti 2020) and correlated with plasma cell counts (Sanchez 2012). Inhibition of gamma secretase results in significant increase of BCMA surface protein expression in human primary B cells (Laurent 2015) and MM cell lines and bone marrow mononuclear cells (Pillarisetti 2020). BCMA has been established as a validated target in MM with several approved therapeutics (Lonial 2020; Berdeja 2021; Munshi 2021). The selective expression of BCMA on Bcell lineage, specifically mature B cells and plasma cells makes it an ideal target for T-cell therapeutics that have been validated in clinical studies and resulted in several anti-BCMA therapeutic approvals (idecabtagene vicleucel, ciltacabtagene autoleucel, and belantamab mafodotin-blmf) .
[0008] The use of anti-BCMA antibodies for the treatment of lymphomas and multiple myeloma are mentioned in W02002066516 and W02010104949. Antibodies against BCMA are described e.g. in Gras M-P. et al. Int Immunol. 7 (1995) 1093- 1106, W0200124811, and W0200124812. Nevertheless, despite the fact that BCMA, BAFF-R and TACI, i.e., B cell receptors belonging to the TNF receptor superfamily, and their ligands BAFF and APRIL are subject to therapies in fighting against cancer, further options for the treatment of such medical conditions are needed.
[0009] G-protein coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member D (GPRC5D) is an orphan, atypical, class C GPCR first identified in 2001 (Brauner-Osborne et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. 1518(3):237-248, 2001). GPRC5D is a 7-transmembrane receptor protein that is classified as a type C G protein-coupled receptor based on the sequence homology score. GPRC5D and other group 5 GPCRs have unusually short
amino-terminal domains for class C receptors, and are therefore, predicted to be conformationally similar to class A receptors. In this regard they are unique, with sequence homology to class C GPCRs and predicted structural topology comparable to class A receptors. Functional consequence of GPRC5D activation has not been described and the ligand remains unknown. The gene has three exons and is located on chromosome 12pl3.3 in humans.
[0010] GPRC5D receptor is highly conserved among various species and shares 92% identity with cynomolgus monkey GPRC5D. GPRC5D is predominantly expressed in cells with a plasma cell phenotype and in hard keratinized tissues such as hair follicles (Inoue 2004; Smith 2019; Goldsmith 2021) and is also expressed in malignant plasma cells in patients with multiple myeloma (Atamaniuk 2012; Frigyesi 2014; Kodama 2019; Pillarisetti 2020) and in patients with systemic AL amyloidosis (Bal 2021). Levels of GPRC5D expression in patients with multiple myeloma correlated well with plasma cell burden and genetic aberrations such as retinoblastoma 1 deletion (Atamaniuk 2012). The limited normal expression of GPRC5D, restricted to the plasma cell lineage and hard keratinized tissues, makes it an ideal target to treat plasma cell disorders.
[0011] The use of anti-GPRC5D antibodies for the treatment of multiple myeloma are mentioned in W02016090329, WO2018017786, WO2018147245, and WO2019154890. Nevertheless, despite the fact that GPRC5D is subject to therapies in fighting against cancer, further options for the treatment of such medical conditions are needed.
[0012] Trispecific antibodies that target BCMA, GPRC5D and CD3 are mentioned in WO2022/175255.
[0013] For patients with relapsed or refractory AL amyloidosis, there are currently no approved treatment regimens. In a retrospective multicenter study, the most commonly used second-line treatment regimens included IMiD-based regimens (41%), bortezomib-based regimens (19%), chemotherapy (11%), and ASCT (10%) (Kastritis 2021). Patients who are refractory to first-line treatment have poor outcomes, with median reported survival times of 1 to 2 years, as reported for small cohorts of patients treated with IMiDs (Palladini 2017; Palladini 2012b).
[0014] No treatment regimen for AL amyloidosis has proven curative, and many patients with AL amyloidosis achieve insufficient hematologic responses. No treatment
options are approved for patients with relapsed or refractory AL amyloidosis. Highly potent anti-plasma cell regimens capable of completely eradicating the plasma cell clone while maintaining an acceptable safety profile are needed to improve outcomes for patients with relapsed or refractory AL amyloidosis.
[0015] There is an unmet need for novel therapeutic options, such as new dosage and treatment regimens, that can potentially address resistance to current therapies and have an optimal benefit-risk profile. In particular in patients with refractory disease who exhausted all available therapies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
[0031] The disclosed methods can be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description. It is to be understood that the disclosed methods are not limited to the specific methods described and/or shown herein, and that the terminology
used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting of the claimed methods. All patents, published patent applications and publications cited herein are incorporated by reference as if set fourth fully herein.
[0032] Unless otherwise defined herein, technical and scientific terms used in the present description have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. For purposes of interpreting this specification, the following description of terms will apply and whenever appropriate, terms used in the singular will also include the plural and vice versa. In the event that any description of a term set forth conflicts with any document incorporated herein by reference, the description of the term set forth below shall control.
[0033] In an attempt to help the reader of the present application, the description has been separated in various paragraphs or sections. These separations are not considered as disconnecting the substance of a paragraph or section from the substance of another paragraph or section. To the contrary, the present description encompasses all the combinations of the various sections, paragraphs and sentences that can be contemplated.
Definitions
[0034] Various terms relating to aspects of the description are used throughout the specification and claims. Such terms are to be given their ordinary meaning in the art unless otherwise indicated. Other specifically defined terms are to be construed in a manner consistent with the definitions provided herein.
[0035] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a cell” includes a combination of two or more cells, and the like.
[0036] The term “about” as used herein when referring to a measurable value such as an amount, a temporal duration, and the like, is meant to encompass variations of up to ±10% from the specified value, as such variations are appropriate to perform the disclosed methods. Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, properties such as molecular weight, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances
by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the present disclosure. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.
[0037] Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the disclosure are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.
[0038] The term “comprising” is intended to include examples encompassed by the terms “consisting essentially of’ and “consisting of’; similarly, the term “consisting essentially of’ is intended to include examples encompassed by the term “consisting of.” Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the words “comprise”, “comprising”, and the like are to be construed in an inclusive sense as opposed to an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is to say, in the sense of “including, but not limited to”.
[0039] “Isolated” means a biological component (such as a nucleic acid, peptide or protein) has been substantially separated, produced apart from, or purified away from other biological components of the organism in which the component naturally occurs, i.e., other chromosomal and extrachromosomal DNA and RNA, and proteins. Nucleic acids, peptides and proteins that have been “isolated” thus include nucleic acids and proteins purified by standard purification methods. “Isolated” nucleic acids, peptides and proteins can be part of a composition and still be isolated if such composition is not part of the native environment of the nucleic acid, peptide, or protein. The term also embraces nucleic acids, peptides and proteins prepared by recombinant expression in a host cell as well as chemically synthesized nucleic acids. An "isolated” antibody or antigen-binding fragment, as used herein, is intended to refer to an antibody or antigenbinding fragment which is substantially free of other antibodies or antigen-binding fragments having different antigenic specificities (for instance, an isolated antibody that specifically binds to BCMA is substantially free of antibodies that specifically bind
antigens other than BCMA). An isolated antibody that specifically binds to an epitope, isoform or variant of BCMA or GPRC5D may, however, have cross-reactivity to other related antigens, for instance from other species (such as BCMA or GPRC5D species homologs).
[0040] “Polynucleotide,” synonymously referred to as “nucleic acid molecule,” “nucleotides” or “nucleic acids,” refers to any polyribonucleotide or polydeoxyribonucleotide, which may be unmodified RNA or DNA or modified RNA or DNA. “Polynucleotides” include, without limitation single- and double-stranded DNA, DNA that is a mixture of single- and double-stranded regions, single- and double-stranded RNA, and RNA that is mixture of single- and double-stranded regions, hybrid molecules comprising DNA and RNA that may be single-stranded or, more typically, double-stranded or a mixture of single- and double-stranded regions. In addition, “polynucleotide” refers to triple-stranded regions comprising RNA or DNA or both RNA and DNA. The term polynucleotide also includes DNAs or RNAs containing one or more modified bases and DNAs or RNAs with backbones modified for stability or for other reasons. “Modified” bases include, for example, tritylated bases and unusual bases such as inosine. A variety of modifications may be made to DNA and RNA; thus, “polynucleotide” embraces chemically, enzymatically or metabolically modified forms of polynucleotides as typically found in nature, as well as the chemical forms of DNA and RNA characteristic of viruses and cells.
“Polynucleotide” also embraces relatively short nucleic acid chains, often referred to as oligonucleotides.
[0041] The meaning of “substantially the same” can differ depending on the context in which the term is used. Because of the natural sequence variation likely to exist among heavy and light chains and the genes encoding them, one would expect to find some level of variation within the amino acid sequences or the genes encoding the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments described herein, with little or no impact on their unique binding properties (e.g., specificity and affinity). Such an expectation is due in part to the degeneracy of the genetic code, as well as to the evolutionary success of conservative amino acid sequence variations, which do not appreciably alter the nature of the encoded protein. Accordingly, in the context of nucleic acid sequences, “substantially the same” means at least 65% identity between two or more sequences. Preferably, the term refers to at least 70% identity between two or more sequences,
more preferably at least 75% identity, more preferably at least 80% identity, more preferably at least 85% identity, more preferably at least 90% identity, more preferably at least 91% identity, more preferably at least 92% identity, more preferably at least 93% identity, more preferably at least 94% identity, more preferably at least 95% identity, more preferably at least 96% identity, more preferably at least 97% identity, more preferably at least 98% identity, and more preferably at least 99% or greater identity. The percent identity between two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences (i.e., % homology = # of identical positions/total # of positions x 100), taking into account the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. The percent identity between two nucleotide or amino acid sequences may e.g. be determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller, Comput. Appl. Biosci 4, 11-17 (1988) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penalty of 12 and a gap penalty of 4. In addition, the percent identity between two amino acid sequences may be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48, 444-453 (1970) algorithm.
[0042] The degree of variation that may occur within the amino acid sequence of a protein without having a substantial effect on protein function is much lower than that of a nucleic acid sequence, since the same degeneracy principles do not apply to amino acid sequences. Accordingly, in the context of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, “substantially the same” means antibodies or antigen-binding fragments having 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identity to the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments described. Other embodiments include antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments, that have framework, scaffold, or other nonbinding regions that do not share significant identity with the antibodies and antigenbinding fragments described herein, but do incorporate one or more CDRs or other sequences needed to confer binding that are 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to such sequences described herein.
[0043] A “clone” is a population of cells derived from a single cell or common ancestor by mitosis. A “cell line” is a clone of a primary cell that is capable of stable growth in vitro for many generations. In some examples provided herein, cells are transformed by transfecting the cells with DNA.
[0044] The terms “express” and “produce” are used synonymously herein, and refer to the biosynthesis of a gene product. These terms encompass the transcription of a gene into RNA. These terms also encompass translation of RNA into one or more polypeptides, and further encompass all naturally occurring post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications. The expression or production of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof may be within the cytoplasm of the cell, or into the extracellular milieu such as the growth medium of a cell culture.
[0045] The terms “treating” or “treatment” refer to any success or indicia of success in the attenuation or amelioration of an injury, pathology or condition, including any objective or subjective parameter such as abatement, remission, diminishing of symptoms or making the condition more tolerable to the patient, slowing in the rate of degeneration or decline, making the final point of degeneration less debilitating, improving a subject’s physical or mental well-being, or prolonging the length of survival. The treatment may be assessed by objective or subjective parameters; including the results of a physical examination, neurological examination, or psychiatric evaluations.
[0046] An "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve a desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount of a BCMA x GPRC5D x CD3 antibody may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the antibody to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the antibody or antibody portion are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects.
[0047] “Antibody” refers to all isotypes of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgE, IgM, IgD, and IgY) including various monomeric, polymeric and chimeric forms, unless otherwise specified. Specifically encompassed by the term “antibody” are polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and antibody-like polypeptides, such as chimeric antibodies and humanized antibodies.
[0048] The term “antigen-binding arm” refers to a portion of an antibody that includes an antigen-binding domain that binds to an antigen (e.g., BCMA, GPRC5D, or CD3), and optionally includes one or more other antibody regions (e.g., Fc domain).
[0049] The term “antigen-binding fragment” refers to a fragment of the antigenbinding arm containing an antigen-binding domain. Antigen-binding fragments include those provided by any known technique, such as enzymatic cleavage, peptide synthesis, and recombinant techniques. Some antigen-binding fragments are composed of portions of intact antibodies that retain antigen-binding specificity of the parent antibody molecule. For example, antigen-binding fragments may comprise at least one variable region (either a heavy chain or light chain variable region) or one or more CDRs of an antibody known to bind a particular antigen. Examples of suitable antigenbinding fragments include, without limitation diabodies and single-chain molecules as well as Fab, F(ab’)2, Fc, Fabc, and Fv molecules, single chain (Sc) antibodies, individual antibody light chains, individual antibody heavy chains, chimeric fusions between antibody chains or CDRs and other proteins, protein scaffolds, heavy chain monomers or dimers, light chain monomers or dimers, dimers consisting of one heavy and one light chain, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL and CHI domains, or a monovalent antibody as described in W02007059782, bivalent fragments comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region, a Fd fragment consisting essentially of the VH and CHI domains; a Fv fragment consisting essentially of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody, a dAb fragment (Ward et al., Nature 341, 544-546 (1989)), which consists essentially of a VH domain and also called domain antibodies (Holt et al; Trends Biotechnol. 2003 Nov.; 21(11):484-90); camelid or nanobodies (Revets et al; Expert Opin Biol Ther. 2005 Jan.; 5(1): 111-24); an isolated complementarity determining region (CDR), and the like; and trispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments. All antibody isotypes may be used to produce antigen-binding fragments. Additionally, antigen-binding fragments may include non-antibody proteinaceous frameworks that may successfully incorporate polypeptide segments in an orientation that confers affinity for a given antigen of interest, such as protein scaffolds. Antigen-binding fragments may be recombinantly produced or produced by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. The phrase “an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof’ may be used to denote that a given antigen-binding fragment incorporates one or more amino acid segments of the antibody referred to in the phrase.
[0050] The term “antigen-binding domain” refers to the proteinaceous structure of an antigen-binding arm that exhibits binding affinity for a particular antigen. This
proteinaceous structure is mediated by the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of the antigen-binding domain.
[0051] The terms “CDR”, and its plural “CDRs”, refer to a complementarity determining region (CDR) of which three make up the binding character of a light chain variable region (CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3) and three make up the binding character of a heavy chain variable region (CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3). CDRs contribute to the functional activity of an antibody molecule and are separated by amino acid sequences that comprise scaffolding or framework regions. The exact definitional CDR boundaries and lengths are subject to different classification and numbering systems. CDRs may therefore be referred to herein by Kabat, Chothia, AbM, contact or any other boundary definitions. Despite differing boundaries, each of these systems has some degree of overlap in what constitutes the so called “hypervariable regions” within the variable sequences. CDR definitions according to these systems may therefore differ in length and boundary areas with respect to the adjacent framework region. See for example Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th ed. NIH Publication No. 91-3242 (1991); Chothia et al., “Canonical Structures For the Hypervariable Regions of Immunoglobulins,” J. Mol. Biol. 196:901 (1987); and MacCallum et al., “Antibody-Antigen Interactions: Contact Analysis and Binding Site Topography,” J. Mol. Biol. 262:732 (1996)), each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0052] Typically, CDRs form a loop structure that can be classified as a canonical structure. The term “canonical structure” refers to the main chain conformation that is adopted by the antigen binding (CDR) loops. From comparative structural studies, it has been found that five of the six antigen binding loops have only a limited repertoire of available conformations. Each canonical structure can be characterized by the torsion angles of the polypeptide backbone. Correspondent loops between antibodies may, therefore, have very similar three dimensional structures, despite high amino acid sequence variability in most parts of the loops (Chothia et al., “Canonical Structures For the Hypervariable Regions of Immunoglobulins,” J. Mol. Biol. 196:901 (1987); Chothia et al., “Conformations of Immunoglobulin Hypervariable Regions,” I 342:877 (1989); Martin and Thornton, “Structural Families in Loops of Homologous Proteins: Automatic Classification, Modelling and Application to Antibodies,” J. Mol. Biol. 263:800 (1996), each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety).
Furthermore, there is a relationship between the adopted loop structure and the amino acid sequences surrounding it. The conformation of a particular canonical class is determined by the length of the loop and the amino acid residues residing at key positions within the loop, as well as within the conserved framework (i.e., outside of the loop). Assignment to a particular canonical class can therefore be made based on the presence of these key amino acid residues.
[0053] The term "polypeptide" is used interchangeably with the term "protein" and in its broadest sense refers to a compound of two or more subunit amino acids, amino acid analogs or peptidomimetics. The subunits may be linked by peptide bonds. In another embodiment, the subunit may be linked by other bonds, e.g., ester, ether, etc. As used herein the term "amino acid" refers to either natural and/or unnatural or synthetic amino acids, including glycine and both the D and L optical isomers, amino acid analogs and peptidomimetics. A peptide of three or more amino acids is commonly called an oligopeptide if the peptide chain is short. If the peptide chain is long, the peptide is commonly called a polypeptide or a protein
[0054] As used herein the term “Fc” refers to the fragment crystallizable domain of an antibody, which comprises two constant heavy chain (CH) regions, CH2 and CH3. Herein, the amino acid residues of the Fc region are typically numbered according to the EU numbering scheme (Edelman, G.M. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. USA, 63, 78-85 (1969). PMID: 5257969). These residues can be readily assigned according to alternative numbering schemes such as IMGT and Kabat (Kabat, E.A. et al., Sequences of proteins of immunological interest. 5th Edition - US Department of Health and Human Services, NIH publication n° 91-3242, pp 662,680,689 (1991)) numbering as would be readily appreciated by one skilled in the art. For example, L234 according to EU numbering may also be represented as L247 according to Kabat.
[0055] “Specifically binds” or “binds specifically” or derivatives thereof when used in the context of antibodies, or antibody fragments, represents binding via domains encoded by immunoglobulin genes or fragments of immunoglobulin genes to one or more epitopes of a protein of interest, without preferentially binding other molecules in a sample containing a mixed population of molecules. Typically, an antibody binds to a cognate antigen with a Kd of less than about IxlO'8 M, as measured by a surface plasmon resonance assay or a cell-binding assay. Phrases such as “[antigen]-specific” antibody (e.g., BCMA-specific antibody) are meant to convey that the recited antibody
specifically binds the recited antigen. Wherever the term “binds” is used herein it is intended that this encompasses “specifically binds” and the terms may be interchanged as desired.
[0056] As used herein, the term “chimeric” refers to an antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, having at least some portion of at least one variable domain derived from the antibody amino acid sequence of a non-human mammal, a rodent, or a reptile, while the remaining portions of the antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, are derived from a human.
[0057] A “vector” is a replicon, such as plasmid, phage, cosmid, or virus in which another nucleic acid segment may be operably inserted so as to bring about the replication or expression of the segment.
[0058] As used herein, the term "host cell" can be any type of cell, e.g., a primary cell, a cell in culture, or a cell from a cell line. In specific embodiments, the term "host cell" refers to a cell transfected with a nucleic acid molecule and the progeny or potential progeny of such a cell. Progeny of such a cell may not be identical to the parent cell transfected with the nucleic acid molecule, e.g., due to mutations or environmental influences that may occur in succeeding generations or integration of the nucleic acid molecule into the host cell genome. The terms “expression” and “production” are used synonymously herein, and refer to the biosynthesis of a gene product. These terms encompass the transcription of a gene into RNA. These terms also encompass translation of RNA into one or more polypeptides, and further encompass all naturally occurring post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications.
[0059] The term “subject” refers to human and non-human animals, including all vertebrates, e.g., mammals and non-mammals, such as non-human primates, mice, rabbits, sheep, dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, amphibians, and reptiles. In an exemplary embodiment of the described methods, the subject is a human.
[0060] The term “redirect” or “redirecting” as used herein refers to the ability of the BCMA x GPRC5D x CD3 antibody to traffic the activity of T cells effectively, from its inherent cognate specificity toward reactivity against GPRC5D and/or BCMA- expressing cells.
[0061] The term “sample” as used herein refers to a collection of similar fluids, cells, or tissues (e.g., surgically resected tumor tissue, biopsies, including fine needle aspiration), isolated from a subject, as well as fluids, cells, or tissues present within a
subject. In some embodiments the sample is a biological fluid. Biological fluids are typically liquids at physiological temperatures and may include naturally occurring fluids present in, withdrawn from, expressed or otherwise extracted from a subject or biological source. Certain biological fluids derive from particular tissues, organs or localized regions and certain other biological fluids may be more globally or systemically situated in a subject or biological source. Examples of biological fluids include blood, serum and serosal fluids, plasma, lymph, urine, saliva, cystic fluid, tear drops, feces, sputum, mucosal secretions of the secretory tissues and organs, vaginal secretions, ascites fluids such as those associated with non-solid tumors, fluids of the pleural, pericardial, peritoneal, abdominal and other body cavities, fluids collected by bronchial lavage and the like. Biological fluids may also include liquid solutions contacted with a subject or biological source, for example, cell and organ culture medium including cell or organ conditioned medium, lavage fluids and the like. The term “sample,” as used herein, encompasses materials removed from a subject or materials present in a subject. The relevant aspects of the disclosure may be performed in vitro based on isolated samples as required.
[0062] A “known standard” may be a solution having a known amount or concentration of GPRC5D and/or BCMA, where the solution may be a naturally occurring solution, such as a sample from a patient known to have early, moderate, late, progressive, or static cancer, or the solution may be a synthetic solution such as buffered water having a known amount of GPRC5D and/or BCMA diluted therein. The known standards, described herein may include GPRC5D and/or BCMA isolated from a subject, recombinant or purified GPRC5D and/or BCMA protein, or a value of GPRC5D and/or BCMA concentration associated with a disease condition.
[0063] The terms “B-cell maturation antigen” and "BCMA" as used herein include human B cell maturation antigen, also known as BCMA, CD269, and TNFRSF17 (UniProt Q02223), which is a member of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily that is preferentially expressed in differentiated plasma cells. The extracellular domain of human BCMA consists, according to UniProt of amino acids 1 - 54 (or 5-51). The term "antibody against BCMA, anti-BCMA antibody" as used herein relates to an antibody specifically binding to BCMA.
[0064] The terms "G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D" and "GPRC5D" specifically include the human GPRC5D protein, for example as described
in GenBank Accession No. BC069341, NCBI Reference Sequence: NP 061124.1 and UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Accession No. Q9NZD1 (see also Brauner-Osbome, H. et al. 2001, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1518, 237-248).
[0065] The terms “cluster determinant 3” and “CD3” include the human CD3 protein multi-subunit complex. The CD3 protein multi-subunit complex is composed to 6 distinctive polypeptide chains. These include a CD3y chain (SwissProt P09693), a CD36 chain (SwissProt P04234), two CD3s chains (SwissProt P07766), and one CD3 C, chain homodimer (SwissProt 20963), and which is associated with the T cell receptor a and P chain. The term “CD3” includes any CD3 variant, isoform and species homolog which is naturally expressed by cells (including T cells) or can be expressed on cells transfected with genes or cDNA encoding those polypeptides, unless noted.
[0066] A “BCMA x GPRC5D x CD3 antibody” is a trispecific antibody, which comprises three different antigen-binding arms, one of which binds to the antigen BCMA, one of which binds to the antigen GPRC5D, and one of which binds to CD3. The term "multispecific antibody" is used herein in the broadest sense and specifically covers an antibody that has polyepitopic specificity. Multispecific antibodies include, but are not limited to, an antibody comprising a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a light chain variable domain (VL), where the VHVL unit has polyepitopic specificity, antibodies having two or more VL and VH domains where each VHVL unit binds to a different epitope, antibodies having two or more single variable domains with each single variable domain binding to a different epitope, full length antibodies, and antibodies comprising one or more antibody fragments as well as antibodies comprising antibody fragments that have been linked covalently or non-covalently.
[0067] A multispecific antibody can be a bispecific antibody, a trispecific antibody, diabody, or similar molecule (see for instance PNAS USA 90(14), 6444-8 (1993) for a description of diabodies). The bispecific antibodies, trispecific antibodies, diabodies, and the like, provided herein may bind any suitable target in addition to a portion of BCMA or GPRC5D. The term "bispecific antibody" is to be understood as an antibody having two different antigen-binding arms defined by different antibody sequences. The term “trispecific antibody” is to be understood as an antibody having three different antigen-binding arms defined by different antibody sequences. This can be understood as different target binding but includes as well binding to different epitopes in one target.
[0068] The term “humanized antibody” refers to an antibody in which at least one CDR is derived from non-human species and at least one framework is derived from human immunoglobulin sequences. Humanized antibody can include substitutions in the frameworks so that the frameworks can not be exact copies of expressed human immunoglobulin or human immunoglobulin germline gene sequences.
[0069] A “reference sample” is a sample that may be compared against another sample, such as a test sample, to allow for characterization of the compared sample. The reference sample will have some characterized property that serves as the basis for comparison with the test sample. For instance, a reference sample may be used as a benchmark for GPRC5D or BCMA levels that are indicative of a subject having cancer. The reference sample does not necessarily have to be analyzed in parallel with the test sample, thus in some instances the reference sample may be a numerical value or range previously determined to characterize a given condition, such as GPRC5D or BCMA levels that are indicative of cancer in a subject. The term also includes samples used for comparative purposes that are known to be associated with a physiologic state or disease condition, such as GPRC5D- or BCMA-expressing cancer, but that have an unknown amount of GPRC5D or BCMA.
[0070] “Cancer” refers to a broad group of various diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Unregulated cell division and growth results in the formation of malignant tumors that invade neighboring tissues and can also metastasize to distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. A “cancer” or “cancer tissue” can include a tumor.
[0071] “Combination” means that two or more therapeutics are administered to a subject together in a mixture, concurrently as single agents or sequentially as single agents in any order.
[0072] “Flat dose” refers to a dose that is administered to a subject without correction for the subject’s specific body weight or body surface area. A flat dose, sometimes referred to as a fixed dose, is therefore provided as an absolute amount of the agent (e.g., mg drug), and not as a weight-based amount that accounts for the subject’s specific weight (e.g. pg/kg or pg drug per kg body weight). For example, a subject weighing 65kg may be administered the same flat dose in milligrams as a subject weighing 85kg. A flat dose may be administered according to a pre-defined class or category of body weight, but is not modified according to the subject’s specific weight.
For example, a “Flat Dose A” may be administered if a patient is greater than a predefined threshold weight, whereas a different “Flat Dose B” may be administered if the patent is less than the pre-defined threshold weight.
[0073] “Pharmaceutical composition” refers to composition that comprises an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0074] “Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “excipient” refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition, other than the active ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject.
[0075] “Relapsed” refers to the return of a disease or the signs and symptoms of a disease after a period of improvement after prior treatment with a therapeutic.
[0076] “Refractory” refers to a disease that does not respond to a treatment. A refractory disease can be resistant to a treatment before or at the beginning of the treatment, or a refractory disease can become resistant during a treatment.
[0077] The term “progression,” as used in the context of progression of GPRC5D and/or BCMA -expressing cancer, includes the change of a cancer from a less severe to a more severe state. This may include an increase in the number or severity of tumors, the degree of metastasis, the speed with which the cancer is growing or spreading, and the like. For example, “the progression of colon cancer” includes the progression of such a cancer from a less severe to a more severe state, such as the progression from stage I to stage II, from stage II to stage III, etc.
[0078] The term “regression,” as used in the context of regression of GPRC5D and/or BCMA -expressing cancer, includes the change of a cancer from a more severe to a less severe state. This could include a decrease in the number or severity of tumors, the degree of metastasis, the speed with which the cancer is growing or spreading, and the like. For example, “the regression of colon cancer” includes the regression of such a cancer from a more severe to a less severe state, such as the progression from stage III to stage II, from stage II to stage I, etc.
[0079] The term “stable” as used in the context of stable GPRC5D and/or BCMA- expressing cancer, is intended to describe a disease condition that is not, or has not, changed significantly enough over a clinically relevant period of time to be considered a progressing cancer or a regressing cancer.
[0080] The term “step-up dose” refers to a dose of an active agent that is administered to a subject prior to a treatment dose. A step-up dose is lower than the treatment dose.
To prevent or lessen certain toxi cities, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), a “priming” dose strategy may include one or more lower step-up dose(s) followed by higher treatment doses.
[0081] The term “treatment dose” refers to a dose of the active agent that is administered to a subject to treat a disease. A treatment dose may be administered at a regular dosing interval on a repetitive basis (e.g. weekly, biweekly, monthly). A treatment dose may be preceded by one or more step-up doses.
[0082] As used herein, the term “outpatient” is a patient who attends a hospital or clinic for treatment without staying at the hospital or clinic overnight, and the patient is administered the BCMA x GPRC5D x CD3 trispecific antibody or trispecific binding fragment thereof described herein by a health care professional. The embodiments described herein are not limited to particular methods, reagents, compounds, compositions or biological systems, which can, of course, vary.

[0119] "Homodimerization" as used herein refers to an interaction of two heavy chains having identical CH3 amino acid sequences. "Homodimer" as used herein refers to an antibody having two heavy chains with identical CH3 amino acid sequences.
[0120] "Heterodimerization" as used herein refers to an interaction of two heavy chains having non-identical CH3 amino acid sequences. "Heterodimer" as used herein refers to an antibody having two heavy chains with non-identical CH3 amino acid sequences. [0121] The "knob-in-hole" strategy (see, e.g., PCT Inti. Publ. No. WO 2006/028936) may be used to generate full length trispecific antibodies. Briefly, selected amino acids
forming the interface of the CH3 domains in human IgG can be mutated at positions affecting CH3 domain interactions to promote heterodimer formation. An amino acid with a small side chain (hole) is introduced into a heavy chain of an antibody binding a first antigen and an amino acid with a large side chain (knob) is introduced into a heavy chain of an antibody binding a second antigen. After co-expression of the two antibodies, a heterodimer is formed as a result of the preferential interaction of the heavy chain with a "hole" with the heavy chain with a "knob". Exemplary CH3 substitution pairs forming a knob and a hole are (expressed as modified position in the first CH3 domain of the first heavy chain/modified position in the second CH3 domain of the second heavy chain): T366Y/F405A, T366W/ F405W, F405W/Y407A, T394W/Y407T, T394S/Y407A, T366W/T394S, F405W/T394S and T366W/T366 S_L368 A_Y407 V.

EXAMPLES
[0242] The following examples are provided to supplement the prior disclosure and to provide a better understanding of the subject matter described herein. These examples should not be considered to limit the described subject matter. It is understood that the examples and embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and that various modifications or changes in light thereof will be apparent to persons skilled in the art and are to be included within, and can be made without departing from, the true scope of the disclosure.
EXAMPLE 1 : Molecule Design, Sequence, and Structure ofBGCB491 trispecific antibody
[0243] BGCB491 is an immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 trispecific antibody that can bind simultaneously or independently to the epsilon subunit of the cluster of differentiation 3 receptor complex (CD3e) (Uniprot ID: P07766) on T lymphocytes (T cells), and to GPRC5D (G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member D, Uniprot ID: Q9NZD1) and BCMA (B cell maturation antigen, TNFRSF17, Uniprot ID: Q02223) on tumor cells. The antibody features mutations of L234A, L235A, and D265S in the constant region (Fc) to abolish interaction with Fc receptors and heterodimerization is enhanced using the knobs-into-holes platform mutations f The anti-CD3e “hole” chain also featured “RF” mutations (H435R, Y436F) to disrupt protein A binding of monomeric and homodimerized hole chains 2. The molecule comprises an anti-CD3e Fab region on the “hole, RF” chain and an anti-GPRC5D scFv v-region fused onto the C -terminus. The “knob” chain features the anti-BCMA scFv. The trispecific antibody was developed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of dual tumor targeting GPRC5D and BCMA and CD3 for T cell redirection. An illustration of BGCB491 is depicted in FIG. 1.
[0244] The trispecific BGCB491 antibody was generated by co-expression of the anti- CD3 heavy chain (HC) A fused to the C-terminal anti-GPRC5D scFv and anti-CD3 light chain (LC) with the anti-BCMA scFv fused to “knob” containing heavy chain B. The anti-CD3 variable region (VR000017350) was discovered by immunizing transgenic humanized rats [OmniRat (OMT™)] with recombinant CD3s protein. The anti-GPRC5d variable region (VR000038761) featured in BGCB491 is derived from the mAb GC5B680, discovered by immunizing transgenic humanized mice [Ablexis]
with DNA encoding GPRC5d. The parent v-region (VR000029832) contained an “NSS” motif in the HC framework 3 region which presented a risk for N-linked glycosylation and which represented a mutation from the IGHV2-26*01 germline. The site was mutated back to the germline sequence “STS” to eliminate the risk for N- linked glycosylation, and this change resulted in the final variable region VR000038761. The anti-BCMA variable region (VR000003260) featured in BGCB491 is derived from the mAb BCMB519, discovered by immunizing transgenic humanized mice [Ablexis] with recombinant BCMA protein. No further modifications were made to this v-region. Both the anti-GPRC5D and anti-BCMA v-regions were formatted as single-chain fragment variable (scFv) in the final molecule [0245] The amino acid sequence for the BGCB491 heavy chains and light chain, as deduced from the cDNA sequence (SEQ ID Nos: 165, 166, and 167) of BGCB491 and confirmed by peptide mapping and mass spectrometry is shown below (Table 1). The complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are defined according to ABM numbering. The Gin residue at position 1 of BGCB491 heavy chain 1, Gin residue at position 1 of BGCB491 light chain, and Glu residue at position 1 of BGCB491 heavy chain 2 constitute the N-termini of the mature chains. Both heavy chains comprising BGCB491 IgGl AAS have the following point mutations: L234A, L235A, and D265S. Heavy chain 1 from BGCB491 features the “hole” mutations: T366S, L368A, Y407V and the RF mutations: H435R, Y436F, while heavy chain 2 features the “knob” mutation: T366W. The knobs-into-holes mutations promote heterodimerization of the Fc 3. The “RF” mutations disrupt binding to protein A. The mutations for FcyR receptor silencing (AAS) and the knobs-into-holes mutations are underlined in the sequences below.

EXAMPLE 2: In vitro activity BGCB491 against AL-Amyloidosis cell line (ALMC-2) and the MM line
[0246] Recently, the expression of BCMA has been confirmed on clonal plasma cells in AL amyloidosis, including the ALMC-1 cell line and in primary bone marrow CD138-selected plasma cells from AL amyloidosis participants.
Materials and methods
[0247] Antibodies: BGCB491 is a fully human IgGl trispecific antibody comprising an anti-CD3e fragment antigen binding (Fab) arm (CD3B376), an anti-BCMA singlechain fragment variable (scFv; BCMB519 LH) arm, and a scFv anti-GPRC5D (GC5B680 N68S S69T LH) arm. Null control antibodies were generated, which either bind only to BCMA and GPRC5D, or only to CD3. The fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of all antibodies is silent, as they contain either the AAS or proline-alanine- alanine mutations.
[0248] Cell culture: Human cell line, ALMC-2 was obtained from CBS-Janssen (American Type Culture Collection). Cell line was tested and found to be free of mycoplasma contamination. Cell line was cultured at 37°C, 5% CO2 in complete medium as per specifications, at a density of l >< 106 cells/mL.
[0249] ALMC-2 is a malignant plasma cell line derived from an AL amyloidosis patient.
[0250] OPM-2 is a cell line derived from the peripheral blood of a multiple myeloma patient.
[0251] BCMA and GPRC5D Antigen Expression Panel: BCMA, B-cell maturation antigen-PE MOPC-173 BioLegend 400214 and CD269/PE 19F2 BioLegend 357504 1 :500.
[0252] GPRC5D, G-protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member D-PE B23B39.FL.008 Janssen NA 1 :500 GPRC5D/PE GC5B483.FL004 Janssen NA 1 :250. [0253] Cell Binding Assay: ALMC-2 and OPM-2 cells were harvested by centrifugation at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes. Supernatant was discarded and cells were
resuspended in 10 mL complete medium, after which cell number and viability were determined using a Vi-Cell XR cell viability analyzer (Beckman Coulter). Cells were resuspended at 5x 105 cells/mL in complete medium containing 2 mg/mL of Fc block, and 100 pL/well was plated in a 96-well U-bottom plate and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT). BGCB491, BCMAxGPRC5DxNull, and CD3xNullxNull antibodies were prepared at a 10x concentration of 10,000 nM in PBS. Antibodies were serially diluted 1 :2 and added to plates at 10 pL/well for final concentrations from 1,000 to 0.98 nM. Plates were incubated at 37°C in the dark for 1 hour, and then centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5 minutes at RT. Supernatant was removed, cells were washed in 200 pL of PBS, and 100 pL LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable near-IR stain (L/D; reconstituted with 150 pL of dimethyl sulfoxide and diluted 1 :200 in PBS) was added to each well. Cells were incubated with L/D stain for 15 minutes at RT in the dark. Plates were washed once in 200 pL PBS, and 50 pL of 1 : 50 diluted anti-human IgGl- PE was added to each well. Cells were incubated at RT for 20 minutes and washed twice with 200 pL of PBS. After centrifugation, supernatant was removed, and the cell pellet was resuspended in 150 pL of PBS. Sample acquisition was performed using a FACSCanto II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and data analysis was performed using FlowJo (BD Biosciences, Version 11). The following gating strategy was applied: cell population (forward scatter [FSC] x side scatter [SSC]), live cells, anti-human IgGl cells (histogram with PE+ events), and geometric mean fluorescence intensity (geomean) calculated. Concentration-response curves were graphed in Prism (GraphPad, Version 9), using loglO-transformed antibody concentration, fit to a log(agonist) versus response variable slope (4-parameter) nonlinear equation.
T-cell Redirection Assay Protocol: The ability of BGCB491 and the control antibodies to activate T cells and induce T-cell-mediated killing of BCMA+GPRC5D+ ALMC-2 and OPM-2 cells were assessed in T-cell redirection assays. Readouts included cytotoxicity, T-cell activation, and measurement of cytokines in the supernatants. To prevent BGCB491 binding to Fc receptors on cells, an Fc blocking reagent was added to the assay. Target cells (ALMC-2) were harvested by centrifugation at 1,350 rpm for 3 minutes and the cell pellet was resuspended in 1 mL of PBS to which carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE; reconstituted according to the manufacturer’s instructions and diluted 1 : 10,000 in PBS) was added. Cells were incubated with CFSE for 8 minutes at RT in the dark. The reaction was stopped by
addition of 1 mL of heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, followed by 2 washes with complete medium. Cells were counted using Vi-Cell XR cell viability analyzer, resuspended to 2.22x 105 cells/mL in complete medium, and 90 pL/well (2x 104 cells/well) were aliquoted in a 96-well U-bottom plate. Target cells were incubated in the plate with 5 pL/well Fc block for at least 10 minutes at RT prior to addition of effector T cells and test antibody. Frozen T cells (donor ID: R100675 and R100713) were thawed in a 37°C water bath and transferred to a 50-mL conical tube containing 25 mL of complete medium. After T cells were centrifuged at 1,350 rpm for 5 minutes, they were resuspended at 0.715x 106 cells/mL in complete medium, and 85 pL/well was added to the plated target cells at various E:T ratio of 5: 1. BGCB491, BCMAxGPRC5DxNull, CD3xNullxNull antibodies were prepared as 10x concentrations, starting at 800 pg/mL in PBS, then serially diluted 1 :5. The final antibody concentrations tested in the assay ranged from 533 nM to 0.05 pM. Diluted antibodies were added to the cells at 20 pL/well. Plates were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for varying times (48, 72 hours), depending on experimental design. After incubation, plates were spun at 1,500 rpm for 3 minutes and the supernatant was transferred to a separate plate for cytokine analysis. The cells were washed with PBS, and then resuspended in 50 pL/well of stain cocktail prepared in stain buffer. After incubation for 20 minutes in the dark at RT, cells were centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 3 minutes. Cells were washed once with 200 pL/well of stain buffer and resuspended in 100 pL/well of stain buffer. Sample acquisition was performed on a FACSCelesta flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data analysis was performed using FACSDiva software (Beckman Coulter, Version 8.1).

[0255] T-cell redirection assays: these assays were performed to evaluate the ability of BGCB491 to induce cytotoxicity of BCMA+GPRC5D+ (ALMC-2, at 5: 1 E:T ratio)
target AL amyloidosis cell line in comparison with myeloma cell line OPM-2 at 3: 1 E:T ratio), using pan CD3+ T cells from 2 healthy donors. After 72 hours, BGCB491 induced cytotoxicity of the BCMA+GPRC5D+ target ALMC-2 cell lines, with ECso values of 0.0312 nM (Figure-2A) and ECso values for OPM-2 cells was 0.0168 nM (FIG. 2B).
[0256] These results therefore indicate that both ALMC-2 (i.e. AL amyloidosis) and OLM-2 (i.e. multiple myeloma) cell lines express BCMA and GPRC5D. Furthermore, BGCB491 induced cytotoxicity and T-cell activation in both ALMC-2 and OPM-2 cell lines with comparable ECso values. In view of these comparable cytotoxicity results of BGCB491 against both an AL-amyloidosis cell line and a multiple myeloma cell line, the examples below which relate to dosing regimens using BGCB491 for safe and effective treatment of multiple myeloma can be useful for the safe and effective treatment of AL amyloidosis.
EXAMPLE 3: A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Dose Escalation Study of BGCB491, a Trispecific Antibody, in Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma - study design
[0257] This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Dose Expansion).
[0258] The study consists of a Screening Period (up to 28 days before first dose of study drug) and a Treatment Period, and a Posttreatment Follow-up Period (up to 16 weeks).
Primary objective(s)
[0259] The primary objective for Part 1 (Dose Escalation) is to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D[s]) and schedule(s) to be safe for BGCB491. [0260] The primary objective for Part 2 (Dose Expansion) is to characterize the safety and tolerability of BGCB491 at the RP2D(s) selected and in disease subgroups (eg, prior BCMA/GPRC5D-directed therapy, extramedullary disease [EMD], AL amyloidosis); as of September 2024 (e.g. prior BCMA/GPRC5D-directed therapy, EMD, earlier lines of therapy etc).
Secondary objectives
• To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of BGCB491,
• To assess the immunogenicity of BGCB491, and
• To evaluate the preliminary anticancer activity of BGCB491 in participants with relapsed or refractory MM or previously treated AL amyloidosis.
Primary Endpoints
[0261] Part 1 (Dose Escalation): Frequency and type of DLTs; incidence and severity of AEs.
[0262] Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Frequency and severity of AEs and assessment of laboratory values.
Secondary Endpoints

• Presence of anti drug antibodies to BGCB491
• Response as defined by IMWG 2016 response criteria.
• Duration of response (DOR) and time to response (TTR) where response is defined by IMWG 2016 criteria.
• Response as defined by International Amyloidosis Consensus Criteria
• DOR and TTR where response is defined by International Amyloidosis Consensus Criteria
Exploratory Endpoints
• To explore relationships among PK, PD, AE profiles, and preliminary anti cancer activity
• To investigate predictive biomarkers of response or resistance to BGCB491
• To investigate the immunoregulatory activity of BGCB491
• To evaluate levels of soluble BCMA
• To evaluate antitumor activity of BGCB491 by assessment of MRD negativity status in participants with MM
• AL amyloidosis cohort only: to evaluate organ response for kidney, heart, liver
• To assess participant-reported changes in smell, taste and other oral-related sensation after study treatment
Hypothesis
[0263] No formal hypothesis testing is being conducted. The study is evaluating the clinical hypothesis that BGCB491 can be safely administered at the selected RP2D(s) such that the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate is 28% or lower.
Study design
[0264] This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study being conducted in 2 parts: dose escalation (Part 1) and dose expansion (Part 2).
[0265] The study is enrolling participants with relapsed or refractory MM who have been treated with a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), and an anti-CD38-based therapy. As of September 2024, the study is enrolling participants with relapsed or refractory MM who have been treated with a proteasome inhibitor, IMiD agent, and an anti-CD38-based therapy for the treatment of MM for Part 1. For Part 2, the study may enrol the following:
(A) participants with relapsed or refractory MM who have been treated with a proteasome inhibitor, IMiD agent, and an anti-CD38-based therapy for the treatment of MM; or
(B) participants with relapsed or refractory MM who have received 1 to 3 prior line(s) of therapy, including a PI and lenalidomide; or
(C) participants with relapsed or refractory MM who have received autologous BCMA-directed CAR-T within 2 to 5 months of first dose of study treatment. These participants must also have one of the following disease characteristics:
1. Stage 3 by ISS, and/or
2. High risk cytogenetics (del 17p, t(14; 16), t(4; 14), amplQ), and/or
3. Presence of EMD prior to CAR-T administration.
[0266] An AL amyloidosis cohort is enrolling participants with previously treated systemic AL amyloidosis with at least 1 organ involvement, including those with Mayo Cardiac Stage <11 and Mayo Cardiac Stage <IIIa, in Part 2. The AL amyloidosis cohorts are enrolling participants with previously treated systemic AL amyloidosis who
are not candidates for available AL amyloidosis therapy with established clinical benefit and with at least 1 organ involvement, and those with Mayo Cardiac Stage <IIIa with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >45%.
[0267] The overall aim of the study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and antitumor activity of BGCB491.
[0268] The study consists of a Screening Period, a Treatment Period, and a Posttreatment Follow-up Period.
[0269] Approximately up to 100 participants are being evaluated in Part 1. The number of participants being enrolled depends on the number of dose escalations needed to reach the RP2D(s), the number of participants enrolled at each dose level, and the frequency of DLT. Part 1 (Dose Escalation) is designed to determine one or more doses and schedules (for further study in Part 2) for BGCB491, generally by testing successively higher doses, beginning at a starting dose of 0.4 mg BGCB491. For each dose level, the assessment of safety, efficacy, PK, and PD is being conducted. The assessment of safety for a given cohort includes review of the adverse events for the participants in that cohort and assessment of the proportion of participants in the cohort that experience a DLT. For expansion into Part 2, at least 6 participants for a given dose regimen must be studied in the DLT Evaluable Analysis Set with <28% experiencing a DLT at that dose and schedule. Multiple dose levels/schedules are being enrolled in parallel.
[0270] In Part 2, approximately 40 participants (as of September 2024, 20 participants) are being evaluated at each of the RP2Ds selected for study and in disease subgroups (eg, prior BCMA/GPRC5D-directed therapy, EMD, AL amyloidosis); as of September 2024 (e.g. prior BCMA/GPRC5D-directed therapy, EMD, earlier lines of therapy etc) may be evaluated. The objective of a cohort in Part 2 is to further characterize the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of as well as preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of a dose and schedule of BGCB491 for participants with relapsed or refractory MM or previously treated AL amyloidosis. During Part 2, for each RP2D and in disease subgroups (eg, prior BCMA/GPRC5D-directed therapy, EMD, AL amyloidosis); as of September 2024 (e.g. prior BCMA/GPRC5D-directed therapy, EMD, earlier lines of therapy etc), safety data are being evaluated after every 10 participants complete the DLT Evaluation Period or discontinue earlier. Cumulative safety, efficacy, PK, PD, and other clinical data from a cohort are being evaluated. If it is determined that the dose
and schedule being studied in that cohort may have an unfavorable balance of benefit and risk in that cohort, enrollment to that cohort may be stopped. A new expansion cohort may then be initiated with a lower RP2D or different dosing schedule based on all available safety, clinical activity, PK, and pharmacodynamic data.
Study duration
[0271] BGCB491 is being initially administered at a starting dose of 0.4 mg SC Q2W. Step-up dose(s) may be explored to mitigate the occurrence of cytokine-mediated toxicities. Participants are continuing to receive study drug until disease progression (according to IMWG 2016 criteria for participants with MM) or hematologic progression (according to International Amyloidosis Consensus Criteria for participants with AL amyloidosis), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, start of subsequent anticancer therapy, or end of study. The duration of study treatment and study treatment administration schedule may change based on emerging safety, pharmacokinetic, and biomarker data.
Study dosing schedule/Regimen
Treatment dose schedules:
[0272] Q2W dosing: As of September 2024, “Q2W” means that the treatment dose is administered once every 2 weeks (+/- 2 days). There must be at least 12 days and no more than 16 days between each full treatment dose administration.

Efficacy evaluations
[0282] Efficacy assessments for MM are being conducted per the IMWG 2016 criteria and for AL amyloidosis are being conducted per the International Amyloidosis Consensus criteria. As of September 2024, for participants in Part 2, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) may be assessed.
Pharmacokinetic and immunogeneticity evaluations
[0283] Blood samples are being collected from all participants for the measurement of serum concentrations of BGCB491 for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses. An exploratory population PK -based approach may also be applied for BGCB491. The detection and characterization of antibodies to BGCB491 are being performed using validated assay methods to enable interpretation of the antidrug antibody data.
Pharmacodynamic and immunogenicity evaluations
[0284] Bone marrow aspirates and whole blood are being collected from participants. Screening bone marrow aspirate samples are being used to characterize the clonal plasma cells and their immune microenvironment and identify predictive biomarkers of response by gene expression profiling. Bone marrow and whole blood are being evaluated for immune infiltration and markers of immune-cell activation and/or exhaustion as well as BCMA and GPRC5D expression and immune checkpoint ligands such as PD-L1. Using next-generation sequencing, bone marrow aspirate is being assessed for minimal residual disease. Serum cytokine profiling is being performed at various timepoints during the study.
Safety evaluations
[0285] The safety of BGCB491 is being assessed by physical examinations, ECOG performance status, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and adverse event (AE) monitoring. The severity of AEs are being assessed using NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0, except for grading of cytokine-release syndrome and neurologic/psychiatric AEs that meet the criteria for immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, which are being assessed based on the ASTCT guidelines. Concomitant medication use is being recorded.
EXAMPLE 4: A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Dose Escalation Study of BGCB491, a Trispecific Antibody, in Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma - pharmacokinetics and product metabolism
[0286] Preliminary PK data are available from 18 participants with RRMM. Participants were administered BGCB491 subcutaneously (SC) at target doses ranging
from 0.4 to 80 mg biweekly (Q2W) or every 4 weeks (Q4W) after the first target dose treatment, with or without step-up dose(s). All step-up doses were administered 2-4 days before the treatment dose.
[0287] The dosing cohorts were as follows:
• Cohort 1 : 0.4 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 2: 1.2 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 3: 3.6 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 4: 10 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 5: 10 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W, with a 3.6 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 6: 30 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 7: 40 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 8: 80 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
[0288] Mean PK concentrations from each treatment group is shown in Figure 3. The mean serum concentration of BGCB491 increased following the first target dose SC administration at all dose levels. Mean values for Cmax and AUCT of BGCB491 increased with increasing dose levels. Concentrations of BGCB491 accumulated after multiple doses with Q2W dosing.
[0289] The preliminary PK data following the first SC treatment dose are presented in Table 2 below.
[0290] The above preliminary PK data relating to 0.4 mg to 80 mg doses of BGCB491 give confidence that greater doses than the doses administered to cohorts 1-8 will provide high serum concentration of BGCB491 over an extended time period, thereby indicating that greater and/or less frequent doses of BGCB491 may be administered.

[0311] As of 13th December 2023, based on IMWG 2016 criteria, treatment response
(MR or better) was observed in 22 participants across all dose levels (see “clinical benefit” row). An overall response was observed in 21 participants across all dose
levels. A very good partial response or better was observed in 13 participants, and a complete response or better was observed in 5 participants. Table 4a presents treatment response by dose level (including both confirmed and unconfirmed) as of 13th December 2023.

CI = confidence interval.
Best overall response includes confirmed and unconfirmed responses.
[0312] As of 24th June 2024, based on IMWG 2016 criteria, treatment response (MR or better) was observed in 49 subjects (see “clinical benefit” row of Table 4d) in the Response Evaluable Set. The Response Evaluable Set comprises subjects who received at least one treatment dose of BGCB491 and had at least one adequate post-baseline disease assessment. Additionally, the Response Evaluable Set also comprises subjects who received at least one treatment dose of BGCB491 who died, progressed or discontinued all study drugs for any reason, if they received at least one adequate postbaseline disease assessment or not.
[0313] An overall response was observed in 48 subjects across all dose levels. A very good partial response or better was observed in 41 subjects, and a complete response or better was observed in 16 subjects. Tables 4b, 4c and 4d present treatment response by dose level as of 24th June 2024. For these tables, best overall response includes confirmed and unconfirmed responses.

[0314] As of the data cut-off on November 21, 2024, treatment response was evaluated in 133 response-evaluable subjects who received at least one dose of BGCB491 and had at least one adequate post-baseline disease assessment or met predefined criteria for evaluability, using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) 2016 criteria. An overall response (partial response or better) was observed in 94 of 133 subjects, including 41 subjects who achieved a stringent complete response (sCR) or complete response (CR) and 80 subjects who achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or better. The highest proportion of overall responders was observed in the 100 mg dose cohorts, where 23/26 of subjects achieved an overall response. Clinical benefit, defined as overall response plus minimal response (MR), was observed in the same 94 subjects, as no minimal responses were reported.
[0315] At the 100 mg dose (Cohorts 11 and 18), most subjects achieved an overall response. Similarly, in the 300 mg dose cohorts (Cohorts 12 and 13), most subjects achieved an overall response. At the 50 mg dose (Cohorts 10, 14, and 15), over half of subjects achieved an overall response.

BCMA or GPRC Directed Therapy Exposed patients: Exposed to Prior CAR-T Subgroup [0319] As of 24th June 2024, data were available for 8 subjects in the Response Evaluable Set who were exposed to prior BCMA or GPRC directed therapy which was a prior CAR-T therapy. Best overall response was assessed by the investigators. The 8 subjects as of 24th June 2024 were from some of the 13 dosing cohorts (Cohorts 1-13 which are described above in Example 5).
[0320] As of 24th June 2024, based on IMWG 2016 criteria, treatment response (MR or better) was observed in 7 subjects (see “clinical benefit” row of Table 6c) who were exposed to prior CAR-T therapy in the Response Evaluable Set. An overall response was observed in 7 subjects. A very good partial response or better was observed in 5 subjects, and a complete response or better was observed in 4 subjects. Tables 6a-6c present treatment response by dose level as of
24th June 2024. For these tables, best overall response includes confirmed and unconfirmed responses.

[0321] As of the data cut-off on November 21, 2024, treatment response was evaluated for 11 response-evaluable subjects previously exposed to CAR-T therapy targeting BCMA or GPRC. Responses were assessed using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) 2016 criteria. An overall response (partial response or better) was observed in 9 of 11 subjects, including 6 subjects who achieved a very good partial response (VGPR) or better, and 4 subjects who achieved a complete response (CR) or stringent complete response (sCR). Clinical benefit, defined as overall response plus minimal response (MR), was observed in the same 9 subjects. [0322] Among 3 response-evaluable subjects in Cohorts 1 to 9, 2 achieved an overall response, with 1 achieving VGPR or better. In the 50 mg dose cohorts (Cohorts 10, 14, and 15), both response-evaluable subjects achieved an overall response, with 1 achieving VGPR or better. At the 100 mg dose (Cohorts 11 and 18), the single response-evaluable subject achieved both an overall response and VGPR or better. In the 300 mg dose cohorts (Cohorts 12 and 13), both response-evaluable subjects achieved an overall response, with both achieving VGPR or better, including 1 achieving sCR.

EXAMPLE 6: A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Dose Escalation Study of BGCB491, a Trispecific Antibody, in Participants with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma - patient demographics and prior therapies
[0331] The demographics, prior therapies, and refractory status to prior therapies of 68 subjects with RRMM who were in the Safety Analysis Set, as of 24th June 2024, are summarized in Tables 9a-9c, 10a- 10c, and l la-l lc below. [0332] The 68 subjects in the Safety Analysis Set were from 13 dosing cohorts (Cohorts 1-13):
• Cohort 1: 0.4 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 2: 1.2 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 3: 3.6 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 4: 10 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W without a step-up dose.
• Cohort 5: 10 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W, with a 3.6 mg step-up dose. • Cohort 6: 30 mg of BGCB491 SC Q2W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 7: 40 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 8: 80 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 9: 120 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 10: 50 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose. • Cohort 11: 100 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 12: 300 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg step-up dose.
• Cohort 13: 300 mg of BGCB491 SC Q4W, with a 5 mg (first) step-up dose and a 100 mg
(second) step-up dose.
[0333] All step-up doses were administered 2-4 days prior to the treatment dose.
Table 9b: Summary of Demographics - Cohorts 6-10 (as of 24th June 2024)
Table 9c: Summary of Demographics - Cohorts 11-13 and totals (as of 24th June 2024)
[0334] As of the data cut-off on November 21, 2024, the Safety Analysis Set included 144 subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) across 24 dosing cohorts.
[0335] Baseline Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scores were evenly distributed between 0 and 1.
[0336] Tables 9d-9g provide an overview of the baseline demographics and characteristics of the study population.

Table 10c: Prior Therapies for Multiple Myeloma - Cohorts 11-13 and totals (as of 24th June
[0337] As of the data cut-off on November 21, 2024, the prior therapies for 144 subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) enrolled in the Safety Analysis Set of Study 79635322MMY1001 were analyzed (Tables lOd-lOg). Subjects had a median of four prior lines of therapy (range: 1-11), with 60.4% of patients having received more than three prior therapies.
The median number of prior therapies was consistent across most cohorts.
[0338] All 144 subjects had prior exposure to proteasome inhibitors (Pls), immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies.
[0339] 49.3% of subjects were penta-exposed (defined as exposure to at least two Pls, two IMiDs, and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody). Additionally, 17.4% of subjects had prior exposure to BCMA-directed therapies, 11.1% had been treated with bispecific antibodies, and 7.6% had received CAR-T therapy. A smaller subset had exposure to GPRC5D-directed therapies (3.5%) or both BCMA- and GPRC5D-directed therapies (5.6%).

[0340] As of the data cut-off on November 21, 2024, an analysis of refractory status to prior multiple myeloma therapies was conducted for 144 subjects. Among these subjects, 89.6% were refractory to immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), 90.3% to anti-CD38 antibodies, and 57.6% to proteasome inhibitors (Pls), with 87.5% refractory to at least one component of their last line of therapy. Triple-class refractory status (PI/IMiD/anti-CD38) was observed in 52.1% of subjects, while 6.9% were penta-refractory. Refractory rates for specific therapies included 51.4% for bortezomib, 75.7% for lenalidomide, 54.9% for pomalidomide, 75.7% for daratumumab, and 20.8% for isatuximab. Additionally, a smaller subset of subjects exhibited refractory status to novel therapies, including 9.7% for BCMA-directed agents, 2.1% for GPRC5D-directed agents, and 3.5% for venetoclax.

TEAEs
[0341] All TEAEs were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 26.0 for the clinical cutoff date of 21st November 2023 and Version 27.0 for the clinical cutoff date of 24th June 2024. These were summarized by SOC and PT. Severity was graded according to NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0.
[0342] Subjects were counted only once for any given event, regardless of the number of times they experienced the event. The event experienced by the subject with the maximum toxicity is included in the data tables. Results
[0343] Key for the tables: NCI-CTCAE = National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, CRS = cytokine release syndrome, ICANS = immune effector cell- associated neurotoxicity syndrome, SOC = system organ class. [0344] Table 12a below provides an overall summary of TEAEs occurring in participants as of the clinical cut-off date of 28th September 2023.

[0346] As of the November 21, 2024 data cut-off, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in all 144 subjects in the Safety Analysis Set, with 95.8% considered related to the study drug (Tables 12e-12h). The most common TEAEs were cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurological adverse events, and infections. CRS occurred in 56.3% of subjects. No Grade 3 or higher events were observed. Neurological adverse events were reported in 69.4% of subjects, predominantly mild to moderate (Grade 1 or 2), with 3.5% experiencing Grade 3 or higher events. Treatment-emergent infections were observed in 68.8% of subjects, with 24.3% being Grade 3 or higher. [0347] Serious TEAEs occurred in 49.3% of subjects, with 29.2% of these events being attributed to the study drug. Four deaths were reported due to TEAEs, including one drug-related fatal event. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occured in 3.5% of subjects. Treatment discontinuation due to TEAEs was observed in 1.4% of subjects.

[0351] As of November 21, 2024, a total of 71 subjects in the Safety Analysis Set experienced at least one serious treatment-emergent adverse event (SAE) across all cohorts (Table 14e-14h).
The most frequently affected system organ class (SOC) was Infections and Infestations, with 31 subjects reporting SAEs, primarily pneumonia (15 cases) and COVID-19 pneumonia (4 cases). Otherinfections included upper respiratory tract infections, sepsis, and cytomegalovirus chorioretinitis.
[0352] Immune system disorders, predominantly cytokine release syndrome (CRS), accounted for 20 subjects experiencing SAEs.
[0353] Other SOCs included General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions, with 9 subjects reporting SAEs such as pyrexia and general physical health deterioration, and Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Disorders, where 7 subjects experienced events like bone pain and back pain.
[0354] Nervous System Disorders were reported by 6 subjects, including immune effector cell- associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), spinal cord compression, and embolic stroke. Additionally, Injury, Poisoning, and Procedural Complications accounted for 5 cases, including infusion-related reactions and fractures
[0355] Other less common SAEs spanned various SOCs, including gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory disorders, metabolic disorders, renal disorders, and vascular disorders. Rare SAEs, such as atrial fibrillation and tumor pain, were also noted.

[0357] As of November 21, 2024, Table 28b summarizes treatment-emergent adverse events
(TEAEs) across multiple cohorts. TEAEs were classified by system organ class and maximum toxicity grade.
Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) events
[0358] As of 13th December 2023, a total of 57 participants were evaluated. As of 24th June 2024, a total of 68 participants were evaluated. Study participants were monitored for early signs and symptoms of CRS. Toxicity grading for CRS is based on the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) guidelines. The severity of AE(s) in the context of CRS is dictated by grading of the syndrome. Table 29: ASTCT Grading for CRS
BiPAP=bilevel positive airway pressure; CPAP=continuous positive airway pressure;
CRS=cytokine-release syndrome; NCI-CTCAE=National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. [0359] As of 13th December 2023, 42 participants experienced TEAEs of CRS, all of which were Grade 1 (33 participants) or Grade 2 (9 participants). This is shown in Table 30a below. The majority of events of CRS were reported early in treatment. Most CRS events occurred during Cycle 1 either after the step-up dose or the first full dose of BGCB491 and had durations between 1 and 4 days. [0360] Out of 42 participants experiencing CRS events, 41 participants had a CRS outcome of recovered or resolved, and no CRS event required treatment modification.
Table 30a: Summary of Treatment-emergent Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) Events (as of 13th December 2023)
[0361] As of 24th June 2024, 50 subjects experienced TEAEs of CRS, all of which were Grade 1 (40 subjects) or Grade 2 (10 subjects). No participants had Grade 3 or higher CRS. This is shown in Table 30d below. The majority of events of CRS were reported early in treatment. Most CRS events occurred during Cycle 1 either after the first step-up dose or the first full dose of BGCB491 and had durations of approximately 2 days. Tables 30b-30d below show a summary of treatment-emergent CRS events, as of 24th June 2024.
[0362] Out of 50 subjects experiencing CRS events, 50 subjects had a CRS outcome of recovered or resolved.

Table 30d: Summary of Treatment- emergent Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) Events -
[0363] Tables 30e-30h show the summary of the data as of November 21, 2024 regarding Treatment-emergent Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) events. CRS was evaluated across multiple cohorts. Most cases were classified as Grade 1 or Grade 2 severity, with no reported cases of Grades 3, 4, or 5. The median onset of CRS was typically around 2 days after dosing, with a range from 1 to 10 days.
[0364] Supportive measures for CRS primarily included the administration of tocilizumab. >
