Description：Calicheamicin, an antitumor antibiotic, is a cytotoxic agent that causes double-strand DNA breaks. Calicheamicin is a DNA synthesis inhibitor. Calicheamicin is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

In Vitro：PF-06647263 (anti-EFNA4-ADC) is generated via conjugation of hE22 lysine residues to the AcButDMH-N-Ac-calicheamicin-γ1 linker-payload with an average drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) of 4.6. PF-06647263 elicits antigen- and concentration-dependent cytotoxicity, as exposure to PF-06647263 for 96 hours results in cell death (EC50= appr 1 ng/mL)[1]. CMC-544, consisting of a humanized CD22 Ab linked to calicheamicin, is effective in pediatric primary B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells in vitro. CMC-544 induces cell death in various ALL cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent way, with IC50 values ranging from 0.15 to 4.9 ng/mL. CMC-544 (10 ng/mL) is effective and specific in primary BCP-ALL cells[2]. In CMC-544-treated cells, the level of CD22 has decreased relative to that on G5/44-treated cells and continued to decrease[3].

In Vivo：An ADC comprising a humanized anti-EFNA4 monoclonal antibody conjugated to the DNA-damaging agent calicheamicin achieves sustained tumor regressions in both TNBC and ovarian cancer PDX in vivo. PF-06647263 (0.27, 0.36 mg/kg) results in significant tumor regressions in TNBC xenografts[1].

Animal Administration：Cohorts of tumor-bearing mice (140-180 mm3) are randomized into study groups of 6 to 10 based on the number of available mice. The IDBS electronic notebook statistical package, Biobook, is used for automated animal randomization. Animals are dosed by intraperitoneal injection (or intravenously for 144580) twice a week for 4 cycles with ADC, or once a week for 2 cycles with 1.5 mg/kg NSC 123127 for breast PDX tumors or 5 mg/kg NSC 119875 for ovarian PDX. Study groups are followed until either individual mice or entire cohort measurements reach 1,200 mm3, at which point sacrifice is indicated. Tumor regression is defined as a reduction in mean tumor volume after dosing. In cases where tumors regress, time to progression (TTP) is determined to be the number of days between the first dose and the time at which mean tumor volume significantly increase (regrow) after regression.

Cell Assay：The enhancement of the CDC effect is studied in a similar way in the presence of CMC-544 or G5/44. Specifically, after cells are incubated with or without CMC-544 (5 ng/mL calichemicin DMH) or G5/44 at 37°C for 2 h, they are washed three times to remove unbound antibodies. The viability of cells before incubation with CMC-544 is 99.8%.
