Gene ProteinCells DNANucleosomeChromosome RNA SKYBisulfite PCR PCR NGS FISHqRT-PCRIHC proteomics CTCs Precision medicine in oncology depends on the use of biomarkers measured at several structural levels, which reciprocally demands assessment of biological samples using precise molecular assays 1 This slide depicts the hierarchy of biomolecular structures, from the level of the chromosome, down to single DNA base pairs, and spanning outward through the components of gene expression (ie, genes, RNA, and proteins), ultimately facilitating the construction of whole cells ‒ Unique analytical techniques probe each structural level Goals of biomarker identification include 1 : ‒ Discovery of genetic and molecular abnormalities relevant to many or all patients in a particular type of cancer ‒ Identification of optimal targets to develop novel therapies ‒ Personalization of therapy for each patient Technology-enabled insights into the molecular details of cancer biology are influencing treatment decisions and outcomes at an increasing rate 2 Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is capable of identifying base mutations, indels, amplifications, and deletions in 1 test, rapidly generating a wealth of clinically actionable data 3 As proteomic technologies quickly advance, they are informing our understanding of the functional effects of complex genomic abnormalities and better defining patient subpopulations 2 Understanding and utilizing the rapidly expanding, clinically actionable information from genomic, methylomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic techniques will require integrated approaches to interpretation and clinical validation References: 1.Dolsten M, Søgaard M.

All rights reserved. 7 Bispecific monoclonal antibodies may confer a distinct advantage over single-target agents EGFR=endothelial growth factor receptor; Fv=variable fragment; HER2=human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; HGF=hepatocyte growth factor. 1 antibody, 2 epitopes Fv 2 mechanistic classes Limitations of single-target agents Pathway crosstalk Redundancy Key takeaway Bispecific antibodies provide a distinct advantage over typical monospecific antibodies by binding 2 epitopes with 1 antibody (or fused/recombinant Fab). Supporting information The multifactorial nature of complex diseases, such as cancer, involves crosstalk between signaling pathways and redundancy of mediating receptors and ligands 1,2 ‒ Upregulation of alternative receptors and pathway switching provide mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and underscore the limitations of single-target agents Typical (monospecific) bivalent antibodies are characterized by 2 identical antigen binding sites 2,3 Bispecific antibodies offer a means of targeting 2 individual paratopes with 1 therapeutic compound 3 ‒ Either multiple sites on a single antigen or single sites on multiple antigens 2 2-for-1 Combination therapies with bivalent monospecific antibodies necessitate a substantial investment of resources for development, manufacturing, clinical studies, and approval of the individual components 2 2 mechanistic classes 2 1. Direct: exert effect directly through epitope binding Dual-receptor inhibition Receptor-ligand dual targeting 2. Indirect (retargeting): utilize dual targeting to coordinate delivery of a therapeutically active moiety Exploiting immune effector mechanisms (ADCC, complement-dependent cytotoxicity [CDC]) ‒ Achieved by directly targeting effectors or by targeting cytokines Drug-loaded nanoparticles Prodrug-converting enzymes References: 1.

Supporting information Engineering ADCs Composed of 1 or several drug molecules covalently linked to a Mab 1 ‒ Optimal stoichiometry of antibody to drug is 1 to 4 2 Does not sterically hinder antibody-binding Minimizes unconjugated antibody MAbs: high specificity 1,3 ‒ High potency in low quantity due to localization Drug conjugate: potent cytotoxicity (IC50=10 -9 to 10 -11 M [vs first generation ADCs at 10 -7 M]) 4 ‒ Toxins that are generally too toxic for administration as a stand-alone agent are well-suited for ADCs 3 Can be 100 to 1000 times more cytotoxic than traditional chemotherapeutics ‒ DNA-targeted agents Minor groove disruption Strand breakage Alkylation ‒ Microtubule polymerization inhibitors ‒ Topo II inhibitors Agents must be internalized by target cells to exert effect 5 Linker stability Effective ADCs must balance the delicate interplay between immunoconjugate stability in the plasma during delivery and subsequent selective payload release 2,4,6 Unique chemical properties of the linker direct selective release (chemically or enzymatically labile) 3 Linker must be stable in circulation 5 Chemical linker motifs Disulfides ‒ Alkylation of reduced interchain disulfides 2 Hydrazones 7 ‒ Naturally occurring carbohydrates in the Fc region of mAbs are oxidized to generate aldehyde groups ‒ Enables nucleophilic addition of hydrazine to yield hydrazone Peptides ‒ Optimally designed for high serum stability 5 Valine-citrulline and phenylalanine-lysine have shown to possess high serum stability 4 ‒ Improved antitumor effects ‒ Offer enhanced stability over hydrazones 5 Second-generation ADCs Refinements in linker technologies and innovations in recombinant MAb design define a new generation of improved ADCs 8 References: 1.

Supporting information Following internalization, ADCs are selectively cleaved along their flexible linker, activating the complex by releasing the cytotoxic agent into the cytoplasm 1,2 The rate and extent of internalization influence drug uptake 3 Internalization 4 There are 3 modes of antibody uptake ‒ Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (antigen-dependent) ‒ Caveolae-mediated uptake (antigen-dependent) ‒ Macropinocytosis (independent) Payload release Disulfides ‒ Cleaved inside tumor cells through disulfide exchange with an intracellular thiol 1 ‒ Hypoxic state of tumor cells results in upregulation of reductive enzymes and boosts intracellular glutathione concentrations (micromolar) relative to normal cells 2 Glutathione is not abundant (nanomolar scale) in circulation, thus establishing selectivity Hydrazones ‒ Undergo pH-dependent hydrolysis in the acidic environment of lysosomes or reductive environment of cytosol 3 Peptides ‒ Rapid enzymatic proteolysis in lysosome 3,5 References: 1.Jaracz S, Chen J, Kuznetsova LV, Ojima I.
