The present invention relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) wherein a plurality of active agents are conjugated to an antibody through at least one branched linker. The branched linker may comprise a branching unit, and two active agents are coupled to the branching unit through a secondary linker and the branching unit is coupled to the antibody by a primary linker. The active agents may be the same or different. In certain such embodiments, two or more such branched linkers are conjugated to the antibody, e.g., 2-4 branched linkers, which may each be coupled to a different C-terminal cysteine of a heavy or light chain of the antibody. The branched linker may comprise one active agent coupled to the branching unit by a first branch and a second branch that comprises a polyethylene glycol moiety coupled to the branching unit. In certain such embodiments, two or more such branched linkers are conjugated to the antibody, e.g., 2-4 branched linkers, which may each be coupled to a different C-terminal cysteine of a heavy or light chain of the antibody.

Antibody-drug conjugates comprising branched linkers and methods related thereto

The present disclosure relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) wherein one or more active agents are conjugated to an anti-CD19 antibody through a linker. The linker may comprise a unit that covalently links active agents to the antibody. The disclosure further relates to monoclonal antibodies and antigen binding fragments, variants, multimeric versions, or bispecifics thereof that specifically bind CD19, as well as methods of making and using these anti-CD19 antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.

The present disclosure relates to pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer prodrugs and ligand-linker conjugates thereof. The present disclosure also relates to compositions and uses of said prodrugs and conjugates.

Pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer prodrug and ligand-linker conjugate compound of the same

In some aspects, the invention relates to an antibody-drug conjugate, comprising an antibody; a linker; and an active agent. The antibody-drug conjugate may comprise a self-immolative group. The linker may comprise an O-substituted oxime, e.g., wherein the oxygen atom of the oxime is substituted with a group that covalently links the oxime to the active agent; and the carbon atom of the oxime is substituted with a group that covalently links the oxime to the antibody.

Conjugates comprising self-immolative groups and methods related thereto

In some aspects, the invention relates to an antibody-drug conjugate, comprising an antibody; a linker; and at least two active agents. In preferred embodiments, the linker comprises a peptide sequence of a plurality of amino acids, and at least two of the active agents are covalently coupled to side chains of the amino acids. The antibody-drug conjugate may comprise a self-immolative group, preferably two-self-immolative groups. The linker may comprise an O-substituted oxime, e.g., wherein the oxygen atom of the oxime is substituted with a group that covalently links the oxime to the active agent; and the carbon atom of the oxime is substituted with a group that covalently links the oxime to the antibody.

Conjugates comprising peptide groups and methods related thereto

Provided herein are compounds comprising a self-immolative group, and the compounds comprising a self-immolative group according to the present invention may include a protein (for example, an oligopeptide, a polypeptide, an antibody, or the like) having substrate-specificity for a target and an active agent (for example, a drug, a toxin, a ligand, a detection probe, or the like) having a specific function or activity.

Compounds comprising self-immolative group

Provided are compounds comprising a self-immolative group, and the compounds comprising a self-immolative group according to the present invention may include a protein (for example, an oligopeptide, a polypeptide, an antibody, or the like) having substrate-specificity for a target and an active agent (for example, a drug, a toxin, a ligand, a detection probe, or the like) having a specific function or activity.

In some aspects, the invention relates to an antibody-drug conjugate, comprising an anti-CD19 antibody; a linker; and an active agent.
