Abstrakt: The number of cytotoxic payload classes successfully employed in antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is still rather limited. The identification of ADC payloads with a novel mode of action will increase therapeutic options and potentially increase the therapeutic window. Herein, we describe the utilization of kinesin spindle protein inhibitors (KSPi) as a novel payload class providing highly potent ADCs against different targets, for instance HER-2 or TWEAKR/Fn14. Aspects of technical optimization include the development of different linker attachment sites, the stabilization of ADC linkage to avoid payload deconjugation and finally, the tailor-made design of active metabolites with a long lasting intracellular exposure in the tumor matching the mode of action of KSP inhibition. These KSPi-ADCs are highly potent and selective in vitro and demonstrate in vivo efficacy in a broad panel of tumor models including complete regressions in a patient-derived urothelial cancer model.
