Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Individual tumor volume response of HER2-amplified KPL4 breast cancer xenografts to HER2–TDB 2 (higher CD3 affinity; groups 4–7) and HER2–TDB 1 (lower CD3 affinity; groups 8–11) in NSG mice supplemented with human PBMCs. Mice with established tumors received a single i.v. dose at day 0 at indicated dose levels. Trellis plots of individual and fitted tumor volumes are presented, with study day on the x axis and tumor volume on the y axis. Each panel in the trellis depicts 1 dose group (panel headers indicate group numbers). Bold, solid black lines indicate the fitted tumor volume for each dose group. Dashed blue lines indicate the fitted tumor volume for the control group (vehicle, histidine buffer). Gray lines indicate the tumor response over time in individual animals present through the course of the study. Red lines indicate the tumor response over time in mice that were removed from the study due to tumor progression beyond prespecified limits. n = 8–9 for each treatment group. (B and C) Tumor-bearing MMTVhuHER2.huCD3.TG mice were treated with a single dose of HER2–TDB 2 (red), HER2–TDB 1 (blue), or vehicle (black) at day 0. (B) Effect of 0.5 mg/kg anti-HER2/CD3 TDB on tumor growth. n = 6–11 for each treatment group. (C) Effect of 0.25 mg/kg (filled symbols) or 0.5 mg/kg (open symbols) dose on T cell activation and proliferation markers on tumor-infiltrating CD8+ cells analyzed by flow cytometry 6 days after dose. Error bars represent mean ± SEM. n = 5–8 for each treatment group. Statistical analysis using unpaired t test with Welch’s correction.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Effect of dose fractionation of HER2–TDB 3 on systemic exposure in cynomolgus monkey. Animals in group 1A (0.2 mg/kg on days 0 and 1, 0.4 mg/kg on day 7; n = 1) and group 1B (0.1 mg/kg on days 0 and 1, 0.4 mg/kg on day 7; n = 2) were dosed using dose fractionation. Animals in group 2 (n = 4) received 0.5 mg/kg on days 0 and 7. Blood samples were collected at indicated time points, and human IgG was detected by ELISA. Data are presented as mean ± SD for group 2 and as exposure for individual animal for group 1. PK parameters are presented in Supplemental Table 1.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Impact of Affimers on the metabolic activity of breast cancer cell lines A range of breast cancer cell lines AU-565, SKBR3, BT-474, MDA-MB-453, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and ZR-75-1 were seeded one day prior to the addition of HER2-binding Affimers or HER2-binding Affimer-MMAE conjugates. Cells were incubated for a further 72 h, and metabolic activity was analyzed by AlamarBlue measurement. HER-2-binding Affimers did not affect metabolic activity in either HER2-positive cell lines AU-565 and BT474 or the HER-2-negative cell line MDA-MB-231 [(A) and (B)]. HER2-binding Affimers were conjugated with the cytotoxin MMAE via a cathepsin cleavable group and a PABC spacer (C). Seven breast cancer cell lines with varied HER2 expression level as measured by immunoblotting (D); representative blot shown; dotted line indicates removal of a lane containing lysates from a non-breast cancer cell line were treated with the Affimer-MMAE conjugates and showed dose-dependent inhibition of metabolic activity [(E) and (F)], the efficacy of which varied with HER2 expression level. All values were normalized to cells incubated with media alone. Data are mean ± SEM; dose-response curves were fitted using GraphPad Prism v 9.0, [Inhibitor] vs. response -- Variable slope (four parameters); n = 3 independent experiments for all panels.
