Description

METHODS FOR IN VIVO TARGETED DELIVERY OF A PAYLOAD CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Numbers 63/583,189, filed September 15, 2023, 63/660,911, filed June 17, 2024, and 63/681,755, filed August 9, 2024, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. FIELD [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to methods of utilizing antibody-tetrazine conjugates for bioorthogonal delivery of a payload to a targeted location in a subject, which conjugates have applications, e.g., in the treatment of cancer, tumor growth, and immunotherapy. BACKGROUND [0003] Bioorthogonal conjugation or click reactions are selective and orthogonal (non-interacting with) functionalities found in biological systems, and have found use in various applications in the fields of chemistry, chemical biology, molecular diagnostics, and medicine, where they can be used to facilitate the selective manipulation of molecules, cells, particles and surfaces, and the tagging and tracking of biomolecules in vitro and in vivo. These reactions include the Staudinger ligation, the azide-cyclooctyne cycloaddition, and the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction. SUMMARY [0004] The present disclosure is directed to methods for delivering a payload to a target location in a subject. In one aspect, provided is a method of forming in vivo an antibody-payload conjugate in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprising at least one antibody or fragment thereof having a least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one trans- cyclooctene (TCO) moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the antibody or fragment thereof has a binding affinity to a receptor on a tumor, and further wherein the amount of the antibody-payload conjugate formed in vivo is greater at a tumor site versus in plasma. [0005] In one aspect, provided is a method of administering a therapeutically effective amount of a payload to a subject, the method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having at least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; and b) administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one (e.g., 1 to 3, 1 to 2, or 1) trans-cyclooctene moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject within a time frame of between about 2 hours and 48 hours, or between about 3 hours and 48 hours, or between about 4 and about 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0006] In some embodiments, the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having 1 to 5, 1 to 4, or 1 to 3, tetrazine moieties covalently linked thereto (i.e., the DAR, or ratio of Fab to tetrazine is an average of 5, 4, 3, or 2) [0007] The targeting moieties for use in the methods disclosed herein are designed to, once administered to a subject, localize at a target site within the subject. The targeting moieties can be administered locally or systemically. Once administered, a prodrug comprising a payload and one or more complimentary bioorthogonal components (i.e., a trans-cyclooctene moiety) is administered, which when in contact with the targeting moiety in vivo, allows for targeted delivery of the payload or therapeutic agent. [0008] In one aspect, provided is a method of treating cancer, or enhancing or eliciting an immune response, in a subject having cancer, the method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having at least one (e.g., 1 to 5, 1 to 4, or 1 to 3) tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; and b) administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one (e.g., 1 to 3, 1 to 2, or 1) trans-cyclooctene moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject more than 1 hour, and less than 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0009] In one aspect, provided is a method of treating cancer, or enhancing or eliciting an immune response, in a subject having cancer, the method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having at least one (e.g., 1 to 5, 1 to 4, or 1 to 3) tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; and b) administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one (e.g., 1 to 3, 1 to 2, or 1) trans-cyclooctene moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject more than 4 hours, and less than 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject.

It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments. Definitions [0029] It is appreciated that certain features of the disclosure, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the disclosure, which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, may also be provided separately or in any suitable sub-combination. All combinations of the embodiments pertaining to the disclosure are specifically embraced by the present disclosure and are disclosed herein just as if each and every combination was individually and explicitly disclosed, to the extent that such combinations embrace subject matter that are, for example, compounds that are stable compounds (i.e., compounds that can be made, isolated, characterized, and tested for biological activity). In addition, all sub-combinations of the various embodiments and elements thereof (e.g., elements of the chemical groups listed in the embodiments describing such variables) are also specifically embraced by the present disclosure and are disclosed herein just as if each and every such sub-combination was individually and explicitly disclosed herein. [0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. In case of conflict, the present document, including definitions, will control. Exemplary methods and materials are described below, although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in practice or testing of the present disclosure. All publications, patent applications, patents and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. The materials, methods, and examples disclosed herein are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting. [0031] The terms “comprise(s),” “include(s),” “having,” “has,” “can,” “contain(s),” and variants thereof, as used herein, are intended to be open-ended transitional phrases, terms, or words that do not preclude the possibility of additional acts or structures. The singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The present disclosure also contemplates other embodiments “comprising,” “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of,” the embodiments or elements presented herein, whether explicitly set forth or not. [0032] The modifier “about” used in connection with a quantity is inclusive of the stated value and has the meaning dictated by the context (for example, it includes at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of the particular quantity). The modifier “about” should also be considered as disclosing the range defined by the absolute values of the two endpoints. For example, the expression “from about 2 to about 4” also discloses the range “from 2 to 4.” The term “about” may refer to plus or minus 10% of the indicated number. For example, “about 10%” may indicate a range of 9% to 11%, and “about 1” may mean from 0.9-1.1. Other meanings of “about” may be apparent from the context, such as rounding off, so, for example “about 1” may also mean from 0.5 to 1.4. [0033] The conjunctive term “or” includes any and all combinations of one or more listed elements associated by the conjunctive term. For example, the phrase “an apparatus comprising A or B” may refer to an apparatus including A where B is not present, an apparatus including B where A is not present, or an apparatus where both A and B are present. The phrases “at least one of A, B, ... and N” or “at least one of A, B, ... N, or combinations thereof” are defined in the broadest sense to mean one or more elements selected from the group comprising A, B, ... and N, that is to say, any combination of one or more of the elements A, B, ... or N including any one element alone or in combination with one or more of the other elements which may also include, in combination, additional elements not listed. [0034] Definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms are described in more detail below. For purposes of this disclosure, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75th Ed., inside cover, and specific functional groups are generally defined as described therein. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in Organic Chemistry, Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987; the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0041] The term “amino acid” refers to both natural and unnatural amino acids, protected natural and unnatural amino acids, as well as amino acid analogs and amino acid mimetics that function in a manner similar to the naturally occurring amino acids. Naturally encoded amino acids include 20 common amino acids (alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine and valine) and pyrrolidine and selenocysteine. Non-natural amino acids refer to amino acid analogs having the same basic chemical structure as a naturally occurring amino acid, i.e., by way of example only, an α- carbon attached to a hydrogen, carboxyl group, amino group, and R group. Such analogs can have a modified R group (e.g., norleucine as an example) or retain a modified peptide backbone while retaining the same basic chemical structure as a natural amino acid. Non-limiting examples of non-natural amino acids or amino acid analogs include citrulline, homoserine, norleucine, methionine sulfoxide, methionine methylsulfonium, homophenylalanine, ornithine, formyl glycine, phenyl glycine, para-azidophenyl glycine, para-azidophenylalanine, para-acetophenylalanine, 4-(3-methyl-(1,2,4,5-tetrazine))- phenylglyine, and 4-(3-methyl-(1,2,4,5-tetrazine))-phenylalanine.

Representative examples of aryls include, but are not limited to, phenyl, naphthyl, and anthracenyl. The monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic aryls are connected to the parent molecular moiety through any carbon atom contained within the rings, and can be unsubstituted or substituted. The aromatic bicyclic ring system or aromatic tricyclic ring system does not contain non-aromatic rings. Thus, if a bicyclic ring system or tricyclic ring system contains a non-aromatic ring, the ring system is a cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl, depending on whether a heteroatom is present in the non-aromatic ring, regardless of the point of attachment to the remainder of the molecule. [0043] In some embodiments, the term “aryl” as used herein, refers to a phenyl group, or bicyclic aryl or tricyclic aryl fused ring systems. Bicyclic fused ring systems are exemplified by a phenyl group appended to the parent molecular moiety and fused to a phenyl group.

Representative examples of bicyclic aryls include, but are not limited to, naphthyl. Representative examples of tricyclic aryls include, but are not limited to, anthracenyl. The monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic aryls are connected to the parent molecular moiety through any carbon atom contained within the rings, and can be unsubstituted or substituted. [0044] The term “azide” as used herein, refers to the functional group –N3. [0045] The term “cycloalkyl” as used herein, refers to a non-aromatic carbocyclic ring system containing 3 to 10, or 3 to 8, or 3 to 6, or 5 to 10, carbon atoms and zero heteroatoms. Cycloalkyl ring systems may contain one or more double bonds, so long as the ring is not aromatic; and thus, the term cycloalkyl includes cycloalkenyl ring systems. Representative examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclononyl, and cyclodecyl. Exemplary monocyclic cycloalkenyl rings include cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, or cycloheptenyl. “Cycloalkyl” also includes carbocyclic ring systems in which a cycloalkyl group is fused to an aryl or heteroaryl as defined herein, regardless of the point of attachment to the remainder of the molecule. [0046] In some embodiments, the term “cycloalkyl” as used herein, refers to a carbocyclic ring system containing three to ten carbon atoms, zero heteroatoms and zero double bonds. Representative examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, cyclooctyl, cyclononyl and cyclodecyl. “Cycloalkyl” also includes carbocyclic ring systems in which a cycloalkyl group is appended to the parent molecular moiety and is fused to an aryl group as defined herein, a heteroaryl group as defined herein, or a heterocycle as defined herein. [0047] The term “cycloalkenyl” as used herein, means a non-aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic ring system containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond, e.g., having from 5-10 carbon atoms per ring. Exemplary monocyclic cycloalkenyl rings include cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl or cycloheptenyl. [0048] The term “cyclooctene” as used herein, refers to a substituted or unsubstituted non-aromatic cyclic alkyl group of 8 carbon atoms, having a single ring with a double bond. Examples of such cyclooctene groups include, but are not limited to, substituted or unsubstituted trans-cyclooctene (TCO). [0049] The term “fluoroalkyl” as used herein, means an alkyl group, as defined herein, in which one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight hydrogen atoms are replaced by fluorine. Representative examples of fluoroalkyl include, but are not limited to, 2-fluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, trifluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, pentafluoroethyl, and trifluoropropyl such as 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl. [0050] The term “alkoxyfluoroalkyl” as used herein, refers to an alkoxy group, as defined herein, appended to the parent molecular moiety through a fluoroalkyl group, as defined herein. [0051] The term “fluoroalkoxy” as used herein, means at least one fluoroalkyl group, as defined herein, is appended to the parent molecular moiety through an oxygen atom. Representative examples of fluoroalkyloxy include, but are not limited to, difluoromethoxy, trifluoromethoxy and 2,2,2- trifluoroethoxy. [0052] The term “halogen” or “halo” as used herein, means Cl, Br, I, or F. [0053] The term “haloalkyl” as used herein, means an alkyl group, as defined herein, in which one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight hydrogen atoms are replaced by a halogen. [0054] The term “haloalkoxy” as used herein, means at least one haloalkyl group, as defined herein, is appended to the parent molecular moiety through an oxygen atom. [0055] The term “heteroalkyl” as used herein, means an alkyl group, as defined herein, in which one or more of the carbon atoms has been replaced by a heteroatom selected from S, Si, O, P and N. The heteroatom may be oxidized. Representative examples of heteroalkyls include, but are not limited to, alkyl ethers, secondary and tertiary alkyl amines, and alkyl sulfides. [0056] The term “heteroaryl” as used herein, refers to an aromatic group having a single ring, multiple rings or multiple fused rings, with one or more ring heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. In some embodiments, the term “heteroaryl” as used herein, refers to an aromatic monocyclic ring or an aromatic bicyclic ring system or an aromatic tricyclic ring system. The aromatic monocyclic rings are five or six membered rings containing at least one heteroatom independently selected from the group consisting of N, O and S (e.g.1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms independently selected from O, S, and N). The five membered aromatic monocyclic rings have two double bonds and the six membered aromatic monocyclic rings have three double bonds. Representative examples of monocyclic heteroaryl include, but are not limited to, pyridinyl (including pyridin-2-yl, pyridin-3-yl, pyridin-4-yl), pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, thienyl, furyl, thiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrazolyl, and 2-oxo-1,2- dihydropyridinyl.

The monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic heteroaryls are connected to the parent molecular moiety through any carbon atom or any nitrogen atom contained within the rings, and can be unsubstituted or substituted. In some embodiments, the aromatic bicyclic ring system or aromatic tricyclic ring system does not contain non-aromatic rings. Thus, if a bicyclic ring system or tricyclic ring system contains a non-aromatic ring, the ring system is a cycloalkyl or heterocyclyl, depending on whether a heteroatom is present in the non-aromatic ring, regardless of the point of attachment to the remainder of the molecule. [0057] In some embodiments, the five membered aromatic monocyclic rings have two double bonds and the six membered aromatic monocyclic rings have three double bonds. In some embodiments, exemplary bicyclic heteroaryl groups are exemplified by a monocyclic heteroaryl ring appended to the parent molecular moiety and fused to a monocyclic cycloalkyl group, as defined herein, a monocyclic aryl group, as defined herein, a monocyclic heteroaryl group, as defined herein, or a monocyclic heterocycle, as defined herein. In some embodiments, the tricyclic heteroaryl groups are exemplified by a monocyclic heteroaryl ring appended to the parent molecular moiety and fused to two of a monocyclic cycloalkyl group, as defined herein, a monocyclic aryl group, as defined herein, a monocyclic heteroaryl group, as defined herein, or a monocyclic heterocycle, as defined herein. [0058] The terms “heterocyclyl,” “heterocycle,” or “heterocyclic” as used herein, refers to a non- aromatic ring system containing 3 to 10, or 3 to 8, or 3 to 6, or 5 to 10, carbon atoms and at least one (e.g., 1 to 5, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1 to 2, or 1) heteroatom, and optionally one or more oxo and/or double bonds. The terms “heterocyclyl”, “heterocycle” or “heterocyclic” include monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic, fused, spirocyclic, or bridged ring systems, provided that at least one non-aromatic ring system containing at least one heteroatom is present. In some embodiments, the monocyclic heterocycle is a three-, four-, five-, six-, seven-, or eight-membered ring containing at least one heteroatom independently selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S. In some embodiments, the three- or four-membered ring contains zero or one double bond, and one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S. In some embodiments, the five-membered ring contains zero or one double bond and one, two or three heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of O, N and S.

[0059] The term “hydroxyl” as used herein, means an –OH group. [0060] The term “hydroxyalkyl” as used herein, means an alkyl group, as defined herein, in which one, two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight hydrogen atoms are replaced by a hydroxyl group. [0061] In some instances, the number of carbon atoms in a hydrocarbyl substituent (e.g., alkyl or cycloalkyl) is indicated by the prefix “Cx-Cy-” or “Cx-y,” wherein x is the minimum and y is the maximum number of carbon atoms in the substituent. Thus, for example, “C1-C3-alkyl” and “C1-3alkyl” refer to an alkyl substituent containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The two conventions “Cx-Cy-” and “Cx-y” are used interchangeably and have the same meaning. [0062] The term “substituted” refers to a group that may be further substituted with one or more non- hydrogen substituent groups.

[0064] The term “selectively delivering” refers to delivering an agent (e.g., a payload) to an organ or tissue (or portion thereof) in need of treatment or diagnosis, without significant binding to other non- target organs or tissues (or portions thereof). In some embodiments, the targeting moieties, or therapeutic targeting moiety, described herein do not themselves have a therapeutic effect, but rather are designed to allow the selective or targeted delivery of a therapeutic agent. However, it may be that the targeting moiety does have a therapeutic effect, and thus, such constructs are not excluded by the present disclosure. [0065] The term “payload” refers to an agent for delivery to a target site in a subject. In some embodiments, the payloads is a therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the payloads is a diagnostic agent. [0066] The term “therapeutic agent” refers to an agent capable of treating and/or ameliorating a condition or disease, or one or more symptoms thereof, in a subject. Therapeutic agents of the present disclosure also include prodrug forms of therapeutic agents, chelating agent with or without a radionuclide (e.g., diagnostic or therapeutic). [0067] A therapeutic “radionuclide” or “radioligand” as used herein refers to a radioactive substance, sometimes referred to as a radiopharmaceutical, which are used to treat medical conditions, particularly cancer. Radionuclides used in the trans-cyclooctene moieties described herein, comprise a chelating agent and an isotope; such as an isotope selected from the group consisting of24Na,32P,33P,47Sc,59Fe,67Cu,76As,77As,80Br,82Br,89Sr,90Nb,90Y,103Ru,105Rh,109Pd,111Ag,111In,121Sn,127Te,131I,140La,141Ce,142Pr,143Pr,144Pr,149Pm,149Tb,151Pm,153Sm,159Gd,161Tb,165Dy,166Ho,169Er,172Tm,175Yb,177Lu,186Re,188Re,198Au,199Au,211At,211Bi,212Bi,212Pb,213Bi,214Bi,223Ra, and225Ac. Radionuclides can be delivered via direct conjugation or chelation with a chelating agent. Exemplary radionuclides, chelating agents, and linkers for potential TCO-conjugate payloads are described below. [0068] The term “diagnostic agent” refers to agents that assist in diagnosing conditions or diseases. Representative diagnostic agents include imaging agents such as paramagnetic agents, optical probes, radionuclides, and the like. Paramagnetic agents are imaging agents that are magnetic under an externally applied field. Examples of paramagnetic agents include, but are not limited to, iron particles including iron nanoparticles and iron microparticles. Optical probes are fluorescent compounds that can be detected by excitation at one wavelength of radiation and detection at a second, different, wavelength of radiation. Optical probes of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, Cy5.5, Alexa 680, Cy5, DiD (1,1’-dioctadecyl-3,3,3’,3’-tetramethylindodicarbocyanine perchlorate) and DiR (1,1’- dioctadecyl-3,3,3’,3’-tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide).

[0069] The term “targeting agent” refers to a chemical or biological agent that specifically binds to a target (e.g., a targeted organ or tissue), thereby forming a stable association between the targeting agent and the specific target. By “stably associated” or “stable association” is meant that a moiety is bound to or otherwise associated with another moiety or structure under standard physiological conditions. Bonds may include covalent bonds and non-covalent interactions, such as, but not limited to, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces (e.g., London dispersion forces), dipole- dipole interactions, and the like. Targeting agents include ligands that specifically bind (or substantially specifically bind) a particular clinically-relevant target receptor or cell surface target. [0070] The term “antibody fragment moiety” as used herein refers to one or more regions or fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen, or in other words, substantially retain the antigen-binding function of the antibody. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the antigen-binding portion of an antibody include but are not limited to a Fab fragment. In some embodiments, the Fab fragment is a monovalent fragment containing at least the VL and VH. In some embodiments, the Fab fragment is a monovalent fragment containing the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains. Fab fragments can be obtained using conventional techniques known to those with skill in the art, and the fragments are screened for utility in the same manner as are intact antibodies. For example, antibody fragments can be produced by recombinant DNA techniques, or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact immunoglobulins. Additional examples are included in various embodiments disclosed herein. [0071] By “specifically bind” is meant the preferential association of an antibody or antibody fragment moiety to a target molecule (e.g., an antigen, such as a peptide, polypeptide, glycoprotein, or any other moiety with one or more antigenic determinants) or to a cell or tissue bearing the target molecule (e.g., a cell surface antigen, such as a receptor or ligand) and not to cells or tissues lacking the target molecule. It is recognized that a certain degree of non-specific interaction may occur between a binding moiety and a non-targeted molecule (present alone or in combination with a cell or tissue). Nevertheless, specific binding may be distinguished as mediated through specific recognition of the target antigen. Specific binding results in a much stronger association between the targeting moiety (e.g., Fab) and e.g., cells bearing the target molecule (e.g., an antigen) than between the binding moiety and e.g., cells lacking the target molecule. Specific binding typically results in greater than 2-fold, greater than 5-fold, greater than 10-fold, or greater than 100-fold increase in amount of bound binding moiety (per unit time) to e.g., a cell or tissue bearing the target molecule or marker as compared to a cell or tissue lacking that target molecule or marker. In some embodiments, binding moieties bind to the target molecule or marker with a dissociation constant of e.g., less than 10-5M, less than 10-7M, less than 10-8M, less than 10-9M, less than 10-10M, less than 10-11M, less than 10-12M, less than 10-13M, less than 10-14M, or less than 10-15M. A variety of assay formats are appropriate for measuring binding, such as solid-phase ELISA immunoassays. [0072] The term “targeted organ or tissue” refers to an organ or tissue that is being targeted for delivery of the payload. Representative organs and tissues for targeting include those that can be targeted by chemical or biological targeting agents, as well as those organs and tissues that cannot be targeted by chemical or biological targeting agents. [0073] The term “contacting” or “contact” refers to the process of bringing into contact at least two distinct species such that they can interact with each other, such as in a non-covalent or covalent binding interaction or binding reaction. It should be appreciated, however, the resulting complex or reaction product can be produced directly from an interaction or a reaction between the added reagents or from an intermediate from one or more of the added reagents or moieties, which can be produced in the contacting mixture. [0074] The term “administering” refers to any suitable route of administration to a subject, such as, but not limited to, oral administration, administration as a suppository, topical contact, parenteral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intralesional, intranasal or subcutaneous administration, intrathecal administration, or the implantation of a slow-release device, e.g., a mini-osmotic pump, to the subject. [0075] The term “parenterally,” as used herein, refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection, and infusion. [0076] The term “pharmaceutically effective amount” and “therapeutically effective amount” refer to an amount of a compound sufficient to treat a specified disorder or disease or one or more of its symptoms and/or to prevent or reduce the risk of the occurrence or reoccurrence of the disease or disorder or symptom(s) thereof. In reference to tumorigenic proliferative disorders, a pharmaceutically or therapeutically effective amount comprises an amount sufficient to, among other things, cause the tumor to shrink or decrease the growth rate of the tumor. [0077] As used herein, the term “subject,” “patient,” or “organism” includes humans and mammals (e.g., mice, rats, pigs, cats, dogs, and horses). Typical subjects to which an agent(s) of the present disclosure may be administered may include mammals, particularly primates, especially humans. For veterinary applications, suitable subjects may include, for example, livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, cows, swine, and the like; poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and the like; and domesticated animals particularly pets such as dogs and cats. For diagnostic or research applications, suitable subjects may include mammals, such as rodents (e.g., mice, rats, hamsters), rabbits, primates, and swine such as inbred pigs and the like. [0078] The term “treating” or “treatment” as used herein means the treating or treatment of a disease or medical condition or symptom(s) thereof in a patient, such as a mammal (e.g., a human) that includes: (a) ameliorating the disease or medical condition or symptom(s) thereof, such as, eliminating or causing regression of the disease or medical condition or symptom(s) thereof in a patient; (b) suppressing the disease or medical condition or symptom(s) thereof, for example by, slowing or arresting the development of the disease or medical condition or symptom(s) thereof in a patient; or (c) alleviating a symptom of the disease or medical condition or symptom(s) thereof in a patient. [0079] The term “physiological conditions” is meant to encompass those conditions compatible with living cells, e.g., predominantly aqueous conditions of a temperature, pH, salinity, etc. that are compatible with living cells. [0080] For compounds described herein, groups and substituents thereof may be selected in accordance with permitted valence of the atoms and the substituents, such that the selections and substitutions result in a stable compound, e.g., which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. [0081] Where a range of values is provided, it is understood that each intervening value, to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, between the upper and lower limit of that range and any other stated or intervening value in that stated range, is encompassed within the disclosure. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges may independently be included in the smaller ranges, and are also encompassed within the disclosure, subject to any specifically excluded limit in the stated range. Where the stated range includes one or both of the limits, ranges excluding either or both of those included limits are also included in the disclosure. [0082] For the recitation of numeric ranges herein, each intervening number there between with the same degree of precision is explicitly contemplated. For example, for the range of 6-9, the numbers 7 and 8 are contemplated in addition to 6 and 9, and for the range 6.0-7.0, the number 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, and 7.0 are explicitly contemplated. [0083] The compounds may exist as stereoisomers wherein asymmetric or chiral centers are present. The stereoisomers are “R” or “S” depending on the configuration of substituents around the chiral carbon atom. The terms “R” and “S” used herein are configurations as defined in IUPAC 1974 Recommendations for Section E, Fundamental Stereochemistry, in Pure Appl. Chem., 1976, 45: 13-30. The disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof, and these are specifically included within the scope of this disclosure. Stereoisomers include enantiomers and diastereomers and mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers. Individual stereoisomers of the compounds may be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials, which contain asymmetric or chiral centers or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by methods of resolution well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography, and optional liberation of the optically pure product from the auxiliary as described in Furniss, Hannaford, Smith, and Tatchell, “Vogel’s Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry,” 5th edition (1989), Longman Scientific & Technical, Essex CM202JE, England, or (2) direct separation of the mixture of optical enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns, or (3) fractional recrystallization methods. [0084] It should be understood that the compounds may possess tautomeric forms as well as geometric isomers, and that these also constitute an aspect of the disclosure. [0085] The present disclosure also includes isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the disclosure are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as, but not limited to,2H,3H,13C,14C,15N,18O,17O,31P,32P,35S,18F, and36Cl, respectively. Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e.,2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. The compound may incorporate positron-emitting isotopes for medical imaging and positron-emitting tomography (PET) studies for determining the distribution of receptors. Suitable positron-emitting isotopes that can be incorporated are11C,13N,15O, and18F. Isotopically-labeled compounds disclosed herein can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples using appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of non-isotopically-labeled reagent. Methods of Treatment [0086] The present disclosure is directed to methods for delivering a payload to a target location in a subject. [0087] In one aspect, provided is a method of forming in vivo an antibody-payload conjugate in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprising at least one antibody or fragment thereof having a least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one trans- cyclooctene (TCO) moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the antibody or fragment thereof has a binding affinity to a receptor on a tumor, and further wherein the amount of the antibody-payload conjugate formed in vivo is greater at a tumor site versus in plasma. [0088] In one aspect, provided is a method of forming in vivo an antibody-payload conjugate in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising: administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprising at least one antibody or fragment thereof having a least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one trans- cyclooctene (TCO) moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the antibody or fragment thereof has a binding affinity to a receptor on a tumor, and further wherein the ratio of the antibody-payload conjugate at a tumor site versus in plasma is greater than about 2:1.

[0090] In some embodiments, the ratio of the antibody-payload conjugate at a tumor site versus in plasma is greater than about 2:1, or greater than about 3:1, or greater than about 4:1, or greater than about 5:1, or greater than about 6:1, or greater than about 7:1, or greater than about 8:1, or greater than about 9:1, or greater than about 10:1. [0091] In some embodiments, the administering is simultaneous. [0092] In some embodiments, the administering is sequential. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety is administered prior to the payload-TCO conjugate. [0093] In some embodiments, a first dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject less than 48 hours, or more than 4 hours and less than 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0094] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject less than 48 hours, or more than 4 hours and less than 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0095] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject less than 48 hours after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0096] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject more than 4 hours, and less than 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0097] In some embodiments, the targeting moiety is administered at least 8 to about 24 hours prior to the payload-TCO conjugate being administered. [0098] In some embodiments, the targeting moiety is administered within 0-8 serum half-lives. It is contemplated that timing of the payload-TCO conjugate administration is calculated based on tumor disposition, which can be determined by the biology of the antigen at the tumor and the targeting moiety. For example, in some embodiments, when the targeting moiety comprises a targeting format as in the table below, the payload-TCO conjugate is administered within the serum half life range shown therein (see also Berland et al., Biomolecules 2021, 11(5), 637).

[0099] In one aspect, provided is a method of administering a payload to a subject, the method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having at least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; and b) administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one trans-cyclooctene moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject at least about 2 hours, or at least about 3 hours, or at least about 4 hours, less than about 48 hours, or between about 4 and 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0100] In one aspect, provided is a method of administering a payload to a subject, the method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having at least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; and b) administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one trans- cyclooctene moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject more than 4 hours, and less than 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0101] Selective binding between bioorthogonal binding partners (e.g., between a tetrazine of the targeting moiety and its complementary trans-cyclooctene of a payload-TCO conjugate occurs. Due to the localized administration of the targeting moiety to a desired location in the subject as described above, the selective binding between the trans-cyclooctene of the payload-TCO conjugate and a tetrazine of the targeting moiety will localize the payload to the desired target location. [0102] The methods disclosed herein allow the payload to be selectively and safely delivered, and thus decrease side effects or toxicity associated with off-target delivery. Furthermore, by administering the two agents as described herein, only a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is required to be therapeutically effective. [0103] As described herein, selective delivery of a payload may be achieved by administering a payload- TCO conjugate within a certain therapeutic window after administering a targeting agent. The relatively inert, systemically administered payload-TCO conjugate is activated at the target site, e.g., a tumor, by the targeting agent via a covalent click chemistry reaction, followed by chemical rearrangement to release the active payload. [0104] In some embodiments, the subject has cancer. In one aspect, provided is a method of treating cancer, or enhancing or eliciting an immune response, in a subject having cancer, the method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having at least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; and b) administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one trans- cyclooctene moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject at least about 2 hours, or at least about 3 hours, or at least about 4 hours, less than about 48 hours, or between about 4 and 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0105] In one aspect, provided is a method of treating cancer, or enhancing or eliciting an immune response, in a subject having cancer, the method comprising: a) administering an effective amount of a targeting moiety to the subject, wherein the targeting moiety comprises a Fab having at least one tetrazine moiety covalently linked thereto; and b) administering a single dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a payload-TCO conjugate to the subject, wherein the payload-TCO conjugate comprises a payload having at least one trans- cyclooctene moiety covalently linked thereto; wherein the single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject more than 4 hours, and less than 48 hours, after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject.

[0107] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject between about 5 and about 24, or between about 6 and about 24, or between about 7 and about 24, or between about 8 and about 24, or between about 9 and about 24, or between about 10 and about 24, or between about 11 and about 24, or between about 12 and about 24, or between about 13 and about 24, or between about 14 and about 24, or between about 15 and about 24, or between about 16 and about 24, or between about 17 and about 24, or between about 18 and about 24, or between about 19 and about 24, or between about 20 and about 24, or between about 21 and about 24, or between about 22 and about 24, or between about 23 and about 24 hours after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject. [0108] In some embodiments, a single dose of the payload-TCO conjugate is administered to the subject between about 5 and about 22, or between about 6 and about 22, or between about 7 and about 22, or between about 8 and about 22, or between about 9 and about 22, or between about 10 and about 22, or between about 11 and about 22, or between about 12 and about 22, or between about 13 and about 22, or between about 14 and about 22, or between about 15 and about 22, or between about 16 and about 22, or between about 17 and about 22, or between about 18 and about 22, or between about 19 and about 22, or between about 20 and about 22, or between about 21 and about 22 hours after the targeting moiety is administered to the subject.

[0165] In some embodiments, the subject has cancer. [0166] In some embodiments, the cancer is metastatic. In some embodiments the cancer is melanoma, renal cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial carcinoma, breast cancer, glioblastoma, lung cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, gastric carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head/neck, anal/vulvar carcinoma, esophageal carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cervical carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Wilm’s tumor/neuroblastoma, bladder cancer, thyroid adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, prostatic adenocarcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. [0167] In some embodiments, the cancer is a melanoma, renal cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, glioma, lung cancer, soft tissue carcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, or pancreatic cancer. [0168] In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor. [0169] In some embodiments, the cancer is a soft tissue sarcoma. [0170] In some embodiments, the soft tissue sarcoma is a fibrosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or Ewing’s sarcoma. [0171] In some embodiments, the method also comprises enhancing or eliciting an immune response. In some embodiments the immune response is an increase in one or more of leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. [0172] In some embodiments, the method further comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an additional therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of an anticancer agent, an immunomodulatory agent, or a trans-cyclooctene prodrug thereof. Anticancer agents, immunomodulatory agents, and their trans-cyclooctene prodrugs are known in the art. [0173] Indications for this approach include cancer, both hematological and solid cancers. In certain embodiments, the approach can be used for the treatment and/or diagnosis of soft tissue sarcomas: rhabdomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, and all the different subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma as well as osteosarcoma. The compositions can be for the treatment and/or diagnosis of pigmented villonodular synovitis. [0174] In certain embodiments, the approach can be used for the treatment and/or diagnosis of hematological malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, primary myelofibrosis, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, monoclonal gammopathy, plasma cell myeloma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma, monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, lymphoproliferative disorder NOS, T-cell lymphoma, precursor B- lymphoblastic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, plasmacytoma, Burkitt lymphoma, T-cell leukemia, hairy-cell leukemia, precursor T-lymphoblastic leukemia, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as others. [0175] The compositions of the present disclosure find use in treatment and/or diagnosis of a condition or disease in a subject that is amenable to treatment or diagnosis by administration of the payload (e.g., the parent drug (i.e., the drug prior to conjugation to the composition)). By “treatment” is meant that at least an amelioration of the symptoms associated with the condition afflicting the subject is achieved, where amelioration is used in a broad sense to refer to at least a reduction in the magnitude of a parameter, e.g., symptom, associated with the condition being treated. As such, treatment also includes situations where the pathological condition, or at least symptoms associated therewith, are completely inhibited, e.g., prevented from happening, or stopped, e.g., terminated, such that the subject no longer suffers from the condition, or at least the symptoms that characterize the condition. Treatment may include inhibition, that is, arresting the development or further development of clinical symptoms, e.g., mitigating or completely inhibiting an active disease. Treatment may include relief, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms. For example, in the context of cancer, the term “treating” includes any or all of: reducing growth of a solid tumor, inhibiting replication of cancer cells, reducing overall tumor burden, prolonged survival and ameliorating one or more symptoms associated with a cancer. [0176] The subject to be treated can be one that is in need of therapy, where the subject to be treated is one amenable to treatment using the parent drug. Accordingly, a variety of subjects may be amenable to treatment using the compositions disclosed herein. Generally, such subjects are “mammals,” with humans being of interest. Other subjects can include domestic pets (e.g., dogs and cats), livestock (e.g., cows, pigs, goats, horses, and the like), rodents (e.g., mice, guinea pigs, and rats, e.g., as in animal models of disease), as well as non-human primates (e.g., chimpanzees, and monkeys). [0177] In certain embodiments, additional therapeutic agents, and methods can be used for the treatment, prevention, and/or diagnosis of solid tumors, including but not limited to, melanoma (e.g., unresectable, metastatic melanoma), renal cancer (e.g., renal cell carcinoma), prostate cancer (e.g., metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer), ovarian cancer (e.g., epithelial ovarian cancer, such as metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer), endometrial carcinoma, breast cancer (e.g., triple negative breast cancer), glioblastoma (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme), and lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer), soft tissue sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, gastric carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head/neck, anal/vulvar carcinoma, esophageal carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cervical carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma Wilm's tumor/neuroblastoma, bladder cancer, thyroid adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, prostatic adenocarcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, among others. The disclosed approach lends itself well as an adjuvant / neoadjuvant system. For example, particles as disclosed herein could be placed during the biopsy, once the results from the study come back, the practitioner could deliver the appropriate cocktail to the desired site in the body. This would minimize the size of the tumor particularly in the context of a surgically resectable tumor. Then at the end of the surgery, the surgeon could administer additional targeting moiety to the subject to target the surgical cavity and treat the patient with further doses of treatment (e.g. chemotherapy through the disclosed approach) to minimize the risk of any cancer cells that may have been missed in the surgical margins. [0178] In certain embodiments, a targeting moiety as disclosed herein could be administered and the practitioner could deliver the appropriate cocktail to the desired site in the body. This would minimize the size of the tumor particularly in the context of a surgically resectable tumor. Then at the end of the surgery, the surgeon could administer additional targeting moiety to the subject to target the surgical cavity and treat the patient with further doses of treatment (e.g. chemotherapy through the disclosed approach) to minimize the risk of any cancer cells that may have been missed in the surgical margins. [0179] In certain embodiments, the disclosed methods provide the ability to place particles as disclosed herein at the time of the biopsy. When the results return, the practitioner can deliver through to the biopsy site immunomodulatory agents. [0180] In certain embodiments, the disclosed methods provide the ability for a practitioner to deliver immunomodulatory agents, such as TLR agonists, STING agonists, chemokines (agents that attract cancerous cells and/or immune cells) and adjuvants to enhance the immune system with fewer side effects as well as the chemotherapeutics agents combined with immunotherapy agents. This combination approach would be beneficial to patients. The chemotherapy agent would treat the solid tumor or specific location, while the enhanced response of the immunotherapy would help with distant metastatic sites. For example, in certain embodiments, the disclosed compositions and methods could employ or be used with anthracyclines, taxanes, gemcitabine and other agents to enhance the efficacy of one or more immunomodulatory agents such as ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, avelumab (also known as MSB0010718C; Pfizer). Cancer [0181] The disclosed methods may be used to treat or prevent cancer, including metastatic cancer. Cancer is a group of related diseases that may include sustained proliferative signaling, evasion of growth suppressors, resistance to cell death, enablement of replicative immortality, induction of angiogenesis, and the activation of invasion and metastasis. The disclosed methods may enhance or elicits an immune response against a cancer in the subject. The immune response may lead to an increase in one or more of leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. [0182] Cancer that may be treated by the disclosed methods, includes, but is not limited to, astrocytoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, appendix cancer, basal cell carcinoma, bile duct cancer, bladder cancer, bone cancer, brain cancer, brain stem cancer, brain stem glioma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, ductal cancer, endometrial cancer, ependymoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, esophageal cancer, eye cancer, fibrosarcoma, gallbladder cancer, gastric cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, germ cell tumor, glioma, hepatocellular cancer, histiocytosis, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, hypopharyngeal cancer, intraocular melanoma, Kaposi sarcoma, kidney cancer, laryngeal cancer, leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, macroglobulinemia, melanoma, mesothelioma, mouth cancer, multiple myeloma, nasopharyngeal cancer, neuroblastoma, non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma, osteosarcoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, parathyroid cancer, penile cancer, pharyngeal cancer, pituitary cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, renal cell cancer, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, sarcoma, skin cancer, small cell lung cancer, small intestine cancer, soft tissue carcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma, solid tumor, squamous cell carcinoma, stomach cancer, T-cell lymphoma, testicular cancer, throat cancer, thymoma, thyroid cancer, trophoblastic tumor, urethral cancer, uterine cancer, uterine sarcoma, vaginal cancer, vulvar cancer, Wilms tumor, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). [0183] In some embodiments, the cancer that may be treated by the disclosed methods is melanoma, renal cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, glioma, lung cancer, soft tissue carcinoma, soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, or pancreatic cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a solid tumor. In some embodiments, the cancer is a soft tissue carcinoma. In some embodiments, the cancer is a fibrosarcoma. In some embodiments, the cancer is diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. In some embodiments, the cancer is a metastatic cancer. [0184] In some embodiments, the cancer that may be treated by the disclosed methods is a hematological malignancy, such as myelodysplastic syndromes, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, primary myelofibrosis, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, monoclonal gammopathy, plasma cell myeloma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma, monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, lymphoproliferative disorder NOS, T-cell lymphoma, precursor B- lymphoblastic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, plasmacytoma, Burkitt lymphoma, T-cell leukemia, hairy-cell leukemia, precursor T-lymphoblastic leukemia, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as others. [0185] Without being bound by a particular theory, local release of certain anti-cancer agents using the compounds and methods of the disclosure may produce or contribute to immunogenic cell death (ICD). For example, certain anti-cancer agents (e.g., anthracyclines, cyclophosphamide, oxaliplatin) have been reported to induce ICD. Kroemer et al. Annu. Rev. Immunol.2013 (31), 51-72. Immunogenic apoptosis of cancer cells can induce an effective antitumor immune response through activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and consequent activation of specific T cell response. ICD is characterized by secretion of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Calreticulin (CRT), one of the DAMP molecules, which is normally in the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is translocated after the induction of immunogenic apoptosis to the surface of dying cell where it functions as an "eat me" signal for professional phagocytes. Other important surface exposed DAMPs are heat-shock proteins (HSPs), namely HSP70 and HSP90, which under stress conditions are also translocated to the plasma membrane. On the cell surface they have an immunostimulatory effect, based on their interaction with number of antigen-presenting cell (APC) surface receptors like CD91 and CD40 and also facilitate cross presentation of antigens derived from tumor cells on MHC class I molecule, which than leads to the CD8+ T cell response. Other important DAMPs, characteristic for ICD are secreted amphoterin (HMGB1) and ATP. HMGB1 is considered to be late apoptotic marker and its release to the extracellular space seems to be required for the optimal release and presentation of tumor antigens to dendritic cells. It binds to several pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and 4, which are expressed on APCs. The most recently found DAMP released during immunogenic cell death is ATP, which functions as a "find-me" signal for monocytes when secreted and induces their attraction to the site of apoptosis. Kroemer et. al. Curr. Op. Immunol.2008 (20), 504-511. [0186] Thus, local release of ICD inducers using the compounds and methods of the disclosure may be beneficially combined with one or more immunomodulatory agents. [0187] In certain embodiments, the targeting moiety can be used for the treatment, prevention, and/or diagnosis of solid tumors, including but not limited to, melanoma (e.g. , unresectable, metastatic melanoma), renal cancer (e.g., renal cell carcinoma), prostate cancer (e.g., metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer), ovarian cancer (e.g., epithelial ovarian cancer, such as metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer), breast cancer (e.g., triple negative breast cancer), glioblastoma (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme), and lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer), soft tissue sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, among others. [0188] The disclosed approach lends itself well as an adjuvant / neoadjuvant system. For example, targeting moieties as disclosed herein could be placed during the biopsy, once the results from the study come back, the practitioner could administer the appropriate cocktail to deliver treatment to the desired site in the body (compounds as disclosed herein and optional additional therapeutic agent(s)). The results of the biopsy may indicate the amount and type of treatment to deliver to the site of a tumor. For example, chemokines (agents that attract cancerous cells and/or immune cells) and adjuvants to enhance the immune system with fewer side effects as well as the chemotherapeutics agents could be delivered and combined with immunotherapy agents. [0189] The disclosed methods may be used to deliver a functionalized payload to these location through systemic or local administration. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety is delivered systemically. In some embodiments, the targeting moiety and the payload-TCO conjugate are both delivered systemically. [0190] The disclosed compounds and compositions may be administered prior to surgical resection. The disclosed methods may minimize the size of the tumor prior to surgical resection. This would minimize the size of the tumor particularly in the context of a surgically resectable tumor. The disclosed conjugates, compounds and compositions may be administered during surgical resection. The disclosed conjugates, compounds and compositions may be administered after surgical resection. The targeting moiety may be placed around the surgical cavity at the end of surgical resection and the subject may then be treated with further doses of a treatment to minimize the risk of any cancer cells that may have been missed in the surgical margins. [0191] The functionalized payloads disclosed herein may function as adjuvants. This combination approach would be beneficial to patients. The chemotherapy agent would treat the solid tumor or specific location and may enhance or elicit an immune response, while the enhanced response of the immunotherapy of the functionalized payload and/or separate agent may help with distant metastatic sites. For example, in certain embodiments, the disclosed compositions and methods could employ or be used with anthracyclines, auristatins, vinca alkaloids, taxanes, gemcitabine, camptothecin analogues and other agents to enhance the efficacy of ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, avelumab (also known as MSB0010718C; Pfizer). [0192] The disclosed methods may be used to treat diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas. Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are pediatric brainstem tumors that may be highly malignant and may be difficult to treat. There is no known curative treatment for DIPG, and survival odds have remained dismal over the past four decades. DIPG patients have a median overall survival of just 11 months, with a two-year survival rate below 10%. DIPG account for 75–80% of brainstem tumors in children, affecting an estimated 200–300 children in the U.S. each year. The rarity of this devastating disease and previous lack of experimental model systems has impeded research, and over the past four decades survival odds have remained the same. Diagnosis of DIPG may begin with clinical symptoms and may be confirmed by MRI. The disease may begin with several months of generalized symptoms, including behavioral changes and difficulties in school, double vision, abnormal or limited eye movements, an asymmetric smile, loss of balance, and weakness. Alternately, severe neurologic deterioration may happen more quickly, with symptoms present for less than a month prior to diagnosis. Clinical examination may reveal the triad of multiple cranial neuropathies, long tract signs such as hyperreflexia and clonus, as well as ataxia. Expansion of the pons section of the brainstem may cause obstructive hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure. [0193] Nuclei critical for life-sustaining function such as breathing and heartbeat in are located in the pons and without treatment, breathing and heartbeat may be damaged by DIPG. [0194] In certain embodiments, the methods disclosed herein comprise administering both the targeting moiety and the payload-TCO conjugate parenterally. The term “parenterally,” as used herein, refers to modes of administration which include intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrasternal, subcutaneous and intraarticular injection, and infusion. [0195] For parenteral administration, the conjugates, compounds or compositions disclosed herein may be dissolved or suspended in a physiologically acceptable diluent, such as water, buffer, oils with or without solubilizers, surface-active agents, dispersants or emulsifiers. Suitable oils may include, for example, olive oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, castor oil and sesame oil. For parenteral administration, the conjugates, compounds or compositions disclosed herein may be administered in the form of an aqueous, lipid, oily or other kind of solution or suspension, or even administered in the form of liposomes or nano-suspensions. [0196] The amount of composition administered to a subject can be initially determined based on guidance of a dose of the parent drug. In general, the compositions can provide for targeted delivery and/or enhanced serum half-life of the bound drug, thus providing for at least one of reduced dose or reduced administrations in a dosage regimen. Thus, the compositions can provide for reduced dose and/or reduced administration in a dosage regimen relative to the parent drug prior to being used in the methods of the present disclosure. [0197] The pharmaceutical formulation may be provided in unit dosage form. In such form the pharmaceutical formulation may be subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the compositions of the present disclosure.

In addition, the additional active agent can be administered once a day, or two, three, or more times per day so as to provide the desired dosage level per day. Co-administration can be accomplished by coimplantation or coinjection. [0202] In some embodiments, co-administration can be accomplished by co-formulation, e.g., preparing a single pharmaceutical formulation including both the composition of the present disclosure and the active agent. In other embodiments, the composition of the present disclosure and the active agent can be formulated separately and co-administered to the subject. [0203] The composition of the present disclosure and the active agent can be present in a formulation in any suitable weight ratio, such as from 1:100 to 100:1 (w/w), or 1:50 to 50:1, or 1:25 to 25:1, or 1:10 to 10:1, or 1:5 to 5:1 (w/w).

D. Combination Therapies [0599] In one aspect, provided is a method of treating cancer or enhancing or eliciting an immune response comprising administering to a subject in need thereof: a therapeutically effective amount of a targeting moiety of the disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or composition thereof; and a prodrug, such as those as described herein; and optionally a therapeutically effective amount of an additional therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of an anticancer agent or an immunomodulatory agent. [0600] The disclosure also provides a pharmaceutical combination comprising a payload-TCO conjugate described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or composition thereof; and an additional therapeutic agent, such as an anticancer agent or an immunomodulatory agent, for use in the treatment or prevention of a cancer or for use in enhancing or eliciting an immune response. [0601] In the methods and uses described herein, the components of the pharmaceutical combinations may be administered/used simultaneously, separately, or sequentially, and in any order, and the components may be administered separately or as a fixed combination. For example, the delay of progression or treatment of diseases according to the disclosure may comprise administration of the first active ingredient in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form and administration of the second active ingredient in free or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, simultaneously or sequentially in any order, in jointly therapeutically effective amounts or effective amounts, e.g. in daily dosages corresponding to the amounts described herein. The individual active ingredients of the combination can be administered separately at different times during the course of therapy or concurrently in divided or single dosage forms. The instant disclosure is therefore to be understood as embracing all such regimes of simultaneous or alternating treatment and the term “administering” is to be interpreted accordingly. Thus, a pharmaceutical combination, as used herein, defines either a fixed combination in one dosage unit form or separate dosages forms for the combined administration where the combined administration may be independently at the same time or at different times. [0602] The methods and uses in treating cancer include administering/localizing the targeting moiety at a tumor. [0603] Additional therapeutic agent(s) may be administered simultaneously or sequentially with the payload-TCO conjugate and compositions. Sequential administration includes administration before or after the payload-TCO conjugate and compositions. An additional therapeutic agent may be administered before the payload-TCO conjugate and compositions. An additional therapeutic agent may be administered after the payload-TCO conjugate and compositions. An additional therapeutic agent may be administered at the same time as the payload-TCO conjugate and compositions. In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent or agents may be administered in the same composition as the payload-TCO conjugate. In other embodiments, there may be an interval of time between administration of the additional therapeutic agent and the payload-TCO conjugate or compositions. In some embodiments, administration of an additional therapeutic agent with a payload-TCO conjugate or composition may allow lower doses of the other therapeutic agents and/or administration at a less frequent interval. When used in combination with one or more other active ingredients, the payload-TCO conjugate or compositions of the present disclosure and the other active ingredient may be used in lower doses than when each is used singly. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure include those that contain one or more other active ingredients, in addition to a payload-TCO conjugate of the present disclosure.

Synthesis of the Compounds [0607] The targeting moieties may be prepared using the methods disclosed herein and routine modifications thereof, which will be apparent given the disclosure herein and methods well known in the art. Conventional and well-known synthetic methods may be used in addition to the teachings herein. The synthesis of typical targeting moieties described herein may be accomplished as described in the following examples. If available, reagents and starting materials may be purchased commercially, e.g., from Sigma Aldrich or other chemical suppliers. [0608] It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures. [0609] Additionally, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. Suitable protecting groups for various functional groups as well as suitable conditions for protecting and deprotecting particular functional groups are well known in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups are described in Wuts, P. G. M., Greene, T. W., & Greene, T. W. (2006). Greene’s protective groups in organic synthesis. Hoboken, N.J., Wiley- Interscience, and references cited therein. In some embodiments, the term “leaving group” refers to an atom (or a group of atoms) with electron withdrawing ability that can be displaced as a stable species, taking with it the bonding electrons. Examples of suitable leaving groups include halides (e.g., Br, Cl, I), sulfonate esters (e.g., triflate, mesylate, tosylate, and brosylate), and nitrophenols. [0610] As shown in Scheme I, compounds of Formula V (wherein each of the dotted lines, R1, R2, R3, R4, ring A, t, L, p, and X are independently defined herein, and R50 is a synthetic handle for bonding to L, such as a leaving group, e.g., halo, or a portion of L capable of linking to X or a further portion of L, e.g., hydroxy, amino, methylamino, etc.) can be prepared by coupling a compound of Formula I-2 with a suitably functionalized antibody fragment moiety X. Suitable methods can be adapted from the literature (see, e.g., WO2020/077140, WO2018/187740, WO2017/044983, WO2015/139025, and WO2014/205126). Compounds of Formula I-2 can be prepared by reacting compound I-1 with a precursor to L under suitable coupling reaction conditions. In some embodiments, X is an antibody fragment. Suitable coupling methods include, but are not limited to, use of an succinimide functional group which is capable of forming an amide bond with a primary amine on the antibody fragment, or L can be functionalized with a group capable of forming a covalent bond to a cysteine residue on the antibody fragment moiety, such as a pyrrole-2,5-dione. Scheme I

[0611] Compounds of Formula I-1 can be prepared according to Scheme II, wherein each of the dotted lines, R1, R2, R3, R4, ring A, t, and L are independently defined herein, and R50 is a synthetic handle for bonding to L, such as a leaving group, e.g., halo or a thioether, or a portion of L capable of linking to X or a further portion of L, e.g., hydroxy, amino, methylamino, etc., and each LG is independently a leaving group, e.g., halo. Scheme II
Figure imgf000153_0002
[0612] As shown in Scheme II, coupling compound II-1 with compound II-2 in the presence of N2H4 provides compound II-3. Further modification of compound II-3 with compound II-4 and/or compound II-6 under standard coupling conditions provides compound II-5 and/or compound II-7. Alternatively, compound II-3 can be provided by coupling compound II-8 with compound II-9 in the presence of N2H4. Compound II-10 can be provided by contacting compound II-3 with a suitable oxidizing agent (e.g., NaNO2). Alternatively, compound II-3 can be provided by contacting compound II-10 with thiourea dioxide. [0613] Upon each reaction completion, each of the intermediate or final compounds can be recovered, and optionally purified, by conventional techniques such as neutralization, extraction, precipitation, chromatography, filtration and the like. [0614] It should be understood that any of the compounds or intermediates shown in Scheme I or II may be prepared using traditional methods or purchased from commercial sources. In addition, any of the intermediates or any product obtained by the process outlined in Scheme I or II can be derivatized at any step to provide various compounds of Formula V. [0615] Exemplary payloads and conjugates thereof can be prepared can be prepared according to methods adapted from the literature (see, e.g., WO2022/032191, WO2021/007160, WO2020/077140, WO2018/187740, WO2017/044983, WO2015/139025, and WO2014/205126, which methods are incorporated herein in their entirety). Exemplary procedures for certain payloads are shown in the Examples below, which procedures can be adapted to prepare other payloads such as those disclosed herein. EXAMPLES [0616] The following examples are included to demonstrate specific embodiments of the disclosure. It should be appreciated by those of skill in the art that the techniques disclosed in the examples which follow represent techniques to function well in the practice of the disclosure, and thus can be considered to constitute specific modes for its practice. However, those of skill in the art should, in light of the present disclosure, appreciate that many changes can be made in the specific embodiments which are disclosed and still obtain a like or similar result without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. [0617] LCMS Analysis Method: Test articles were subjected to PNGaseF (IgG) and DTT or DTT alone (Fab) in RapiGest according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples were diluted to 100 µg/mL with water and centrifuged at 16.1k RCF for 10 min at 4 °C. The samples were then analyzed by LCMS (LC-Q-TOF) and the mass spectra reconstructed from the charge ladder. Example 1: Synthesis of Tetrazine-Trastuzumab Targeting Moiety [0618] Trastuzumab (22.1 mg/mL, 1.1 mL) in 0.01 M PBS was mixed with 20 equivalents of methyltetrazine-PEG4-NHS (Clickchemtools #1069-10).
Figure imgf000155_0001
[0619] The reaction was mixed thoroughly and aged at room temperature for 1 hour, at which time the reaction was quenched by the addition of 1 volume of 0.1 M Tris buffer. The resulting solution was buffer exchanged to 0.01 M PBS to remove excess reagent and buffer salts. The resulting solution of targeting moiety (6.3 mg/mL, 1.6 mL) was analyzed by SDS-Page and LCMS (data not shown) confirming the formation of the targeting moiety, and thus was used for subsequent studies. Based on the analysis, it is contemplated that up to 12 methyltetrazine-PEG4 units are covalently bonded to the antibody. Example 2: Tetrazine-Fab Targeting Moiety [0620] Fab was prepared from Trastuzumab using a commercial kit (Pierce™ Fab Preparation Kit #44985) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and purified by protein G resin (BioVision #6511-25). The purified Fab in 0.01 M PBS was mixed with 20 equivalents of methyltetrazine-PEG4-NHS (Clickchemtools #1069-10). The reaction was mixed thoroughly and aged at room temperature for 1 hour, at which time the reaction was quenched by the addition of 1 volume of 0.1 M Tris buffer. The resulting solution was buffer exchanged to 0.01 M PBS to remove excess reagent and buffer salts. The resulting solution of targeting moiety (1.0 mg/mL, 10.3 mL) was analyzed by SDS-Page and LCMS (data not shown) confirming the formation of the targeting moiety, and thus was used for subsequent studies. Based on the analysis, it is contemplated that up to about 6 methyltetrazine-PEG4 units are covalently bonded to the Fab. Example 3: Tetrazine-Fab Targeting Moiety [0621] Fab was prepared from Enfortumab using the following method.0.1 mg papain was pretreated with 1 mM DTT at 0.5 mg/ml concentration and 2 mM EDTA by incubating at 37 ℃ for 30 min. The antibody was prepared in PBS buffer, pH 7.4 (10 mg, 0.5 mg/mL). The pretreated papain was mixed with the antibody at (1 : 100) molar ratio and incubated at 37 ℃ for 2 hours.

[0770] Based on the above data, it is contemplated that the drug release profile can be modified, enhanced, or attenuated by adjusting the structure of the bicyclic tetrazine or dihydrotetrazine portion targeting moiety. Example 43: Tetrazine-Antigen-Binding Protein Targeting Moiety and Antibody Fragment Moieties [0771] Antigen-binding proteins are engineered proteins that can bind an antigen. The proteins are approximately 66 amino acids in length with a molecular weight of 7 kDa. The protein can be expressed in E. coli and a cysteine residue can be included at the N- or C-terminus of the sequence that can be conjugated with a cysteine-reactive group and can be purchased from commercial sources (e.g., Nanofitins® from Affilogic). [0772] An antigen-binding protein targeting HER2 with a C-terminal cysteine is expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. The protein is treated with a reducing agent, such as TCEP, at ambient temperature or on ice, followed by buffer exchange into fresh buffer. The protein is then treated with maleimide-PEG-tetrazine (n = 3). After the reaction is complete, the protein is exchanged into fresh buffer to remove the excess reagent to yield conjugate (Ab-Tz). The conjugate is analyzed by SDS- PAGE, analytical HPLC, mass spectrometry to confirm the expected properties. The conjugate can also be treated with a trans-cyclooctene-functionalized fluorophore to confirm the reactivity of the tetrazine. [0773] An non-binding control protein with a C-terminal cysteine is expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. The protein is treated with a reducing agent, such as TCEP, at ambient temperature or on ice, followed by buffer exchange into fresh buffer. The protein is then treated with maleimide-PEG- tetrazine (n = 3). After the reaction is complete, the protein is exchanged into fresh buffer to remove the excess reagent to yield conjugate (Ab-Tz). The conjugate is analyzed by SDS-PAGE, analytical HPLC, mass spectrometry to confirm the expected properties. The conjugate can also be treated with a trans- cyclooctene-functionalized fluorophore to confirm the reactivity of the tetrazine. [0774] Further targeting moieties can be prepared, as described above, using the seques shown below. 32) a) Synthesis of Fab of L19 -binding to FN-1 (Gene ID 2335) [0775] Vector construction: Coding sequences (listed below) are synthesized and subcloned into expression vector.

[0790] Conjugate preparation: 120 mg Fab protein is dialyzed against PBS, pH 7.4 overnight with one buffer exchange at about 4 hours from the start.10 mM Me-Tet-PEG9-NHS is prepared in DMSO.

Example 44: Efficacy study in NCI-N87 xenograft gastric cancer model [0791] The following example shows timing of the payload dose leads to effective tumor inhibition with a single dose. Compound TM-1 and Isotype Fab-Tz (Iso Ctrl) were prepared according to Example 6. [0792] NCI-N87 (gastric carcinoma) cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% pen-strep and placed in 37 °C incubator. The cells were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation when the cells reached the exponential growth phase. CB-17 SCID (6-8 weeks old) female mice were inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank with 3 x 106 cells in a 200 mL mixture of RPMI-1640 with Matrigel (1:1) for tumor development. Animals were divided into groups of 5 for the efficacy study with mean tumor volume of ~100-150 mm3 prior to dosing. Tumor volumes of NCI-N87 tumors in SCID CB17 mice following treatment with vehicle, Compound TM-1 with Compound B, and Isotype Fab-Tz with Compound B. Animals were dosed with a single dose of either Isotype control (Isotype Fab-Tz) or Compound TM-1 intravenously (IV) at 50 mg/kg then mice were given a single dose of Compound B IV at 30 mg/kg after 4 hours (FIG.1A), 8 hours (FIG.1B), 24 hours (FIG.1C), or 48 hours (FIG.1D) after Iso Ctrl or Compound TM-1. Tumor volume was measured two times weekly in two dimensions using a caliper and the volume was expressed in mm3 using the formula: V = 0.5 a x b2 where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor. For tumor growth inhibition (Δ%TGI) was calculated to compare between Iso Ctrl and Compound TM-1 using the formula: TGI (%) = [1-(T/V)] ×100; where T is the mean TV of a treatment group on a given day and V is the mean TV of the vehicle control group on the same day as T, and a two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction were performed among the different treatment groups. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. [0793] As shown in FIGs.1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D, the time between doses can be attenuated to maximize specific and minimize non-specific activity of Compound B with Compound TM-1 on NCI-N87 tumors. Shown are means ± SEM. P-values were determined by two-way ANOVA with Dunnet’s correction (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01). ANOVA, analysis of variance; SEM, standard error of mean. [0794] As shown in FIG.1A, a portion of the 50 mg/kg of Compound TM-1 is systemically circulating around 4 hours after dose, leading to higher non-specific activity. [0795] As shown in FIG.1D, administering Compound B 48 hours after 50 mg/kg of Compound TM-1 leads to diminished activity. [0796] Accordingly, a single dose of the MMAE prodrug, Compound B, achieves prolonged tumor growth inhibition when administered within about 8 to 24 hours after administering Compound TM-1. Example 45: Plasma and Tumor PK Analysis [0797] NCI-N87 (gastric carcinoma) cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% pen-strep and placed in 37 ºC incubator. The cells were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation when the cells reached the exponential growth phase. CB-17 SCID (6-8 weeks old) female mice were inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank with 5 x 106 cells in a 200 mL mixture of PBS with Matrigel (1:1) for tumor development. Animals were divided into groups of 3 for the PK study with mean tumor volume of ~200-250 mm3 prior to dosing. Animals were dosed with a single dose of Compound TM-1 intravenously (IV) at 50 or 5 mg/kg and 4 hours later dosed with Compound B intravenously (IV) at 10 mg/kg. FIG.2A shows the schedule of dosing and tumor collection. Plasma and tumor tissue samples were collected after 15 minutes of dosing with Compound B. Plasma samples and tumor tissue were flash frozen and stored in -80 ºC until the samples were analyzed using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). [0798] FIG.2B shows the concentration of MMAE in tumors 15 minutes after dosing of Compound B. Shown are means ± SEM. P-values were determined by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. ANOVA, analysis of variance; MMAE, monomethyl auristatin E; SEM, standard error of mean. [0799] As shown in the FIG.2B, Compound TM-1 is converted to active payload, i.e., MMAE, within 15 minutes. Example 46: PK measurement of total amount of Compound TM-1 and reactive tetrazine (Tz) in plasma and tumor samples [0800] The NCI-N87 (gastric carcinoma) cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% pen-strep and placed in 37ºC incubator. The cells were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation when the cells reached the exponential growth phase. CB-17 SCID (6-8 weeks old) female mice were inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank with 5 x 106 cells in a 200 mL mixture of RPMI- 1640 with Matrigel (1:1) for tumor development. Animals were divided into groups of 3 for the PK study with mean tumor volume of ~200-250 mm3 prior to dosing. Animals were dosed with Compound TM-1 IV at 50 mg/kg. Then animals were dosed with TCO-biotin, 15 minutes prior to tumor collection, the animals were perfused with heparin-saline solution to remove excess/unreacted TCO-biotin, then tumors were harvested close to 1, 4, and 24 hrs. The tumors were flash frozen and placed in -80 °C until the samples were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Tumor samples were tested for total amount of Compound TM-1 and reactive tetrazine. For measuring the total amount of Compound TM-1, wells of 96-well plate were coated with anti-ID antibody against trastuzumab, and the plates were incubated overnight at 4 °C. The plate was washed 3 times and then samples diluted with assay diluent containing 1% BSA and 0.05 Tween-20 in PBS were added to the wells and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours with constant shaking. After washing, mouse anti-human IgG Fab antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (detection antibody) was addeI to the wells and incubated for 1 hr. Then the plates were again washed for 3 times, then mixed with detection reagent, and read using SepctraMax i3x. The concentrations from tumor samples were interpolated from the standard curve of Compound TM-1 using known concentration (200 ng/mL -1.563 ng/mL with 2-fold serial dilution). [0801] For measuring reactive tetrazine of Compound TM-1, wells of 96-well plate were coated with anti-ID antibody against trastuzumab, and the plates were incubated overnight at 4ºC. The plates were washed 3X times and then samples diluted with assay diluent containing 1% BSA and 0.05 Tween-20 in PBS were added to the wells and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours with constant shaking. After washing, streptavidin-HRP were added to the wells and incubated for 1 hour. Then the plates were mixed with detection reagent and read using SepctraMax i3x. The concentrations from tumor samples were interpolated from the standard curve of Compound TM-1 using known conce–tration (100 ng/mL - 0.781 ng/mL with 2-fold serial dilution). [0802] FIG.3A shows quantification of total Fab in the tumors by ELISA. FIG.3B shows quantification of activator (tetrazine) in the tumors by ELISA. Shown are means ± SEM. P-values were determined by two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. ANOVA, analysis of variance; SEM, standard error of mean. [0803] As shown in FIG.3A and FIG.3B, Compound TM-1 localizes to HER2-positive tumors. Example 47: Compound TM-2 Plasma and Tumor PK Analysis [0804] This study evaluated the optimal dose and time of Compound TM-2 at the tumor site for payload-TCO conjugate dosing.

[0806] Tumor cell culture and inoculation: The HT-1376 cells (purchased from ATCC, CRL-1472TM) were cultured in EMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units/mL penicillin, and 100 µg/mL streptomycin. Cells were placed in a 37 ºC incubator with an atmosphere supplemented with 5% CO2. The cells were harvested by trypsinization and used to inoculate female Balb/c nude mice (6 – 8 weeks old) subcutaneously at the right flank with 5x 106 HT-1376 cells in a 0.2 mL mixture of PBS with Matrigel (1:1) to induce tumor development. [0807] Animal Grouping and Dosing: Animals were divided into groups of 3 for the PK study, with mean tumor volumes of ~150 – 200 mm3 prior to dosing. At t = 0 hr, animals were intravenously dosed with a single dose of either Vehicle, Isotype Control (Iso Ctrl), or Compound TM-2. Iso Ctrl was administered at 50 mg/kg, while Compound TM-2 was given at doses of 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg. All animals received a single dose of TCO-PEG3-Biotin intravenously at 30 mg/kg at a specific time point post-first IV treatment as follows: Groups 1, 2, and 10 were dosed at 1 hour, groups 3 and 11 at 4 hours, groups 4 – 9 at 8 hours, group 12 at 18 hours, group 13 and 24 hours, and group 14 at 36 hours. [0808] Sample Collection: Thirty minutes after administration of the TCO-PEG3-Biotin dose, approximately 200 µL of blood was collected in EDTA-coated tubes from all animals and processed for plasma. Following blood collection, the animals were perfused with heparinized saline to remove unreacted TCO-PEG3-Biotin from circulation. Tumors were then collected and immediately frozen. [0809] Sample Analysis by ELISA: The plasma and tumor samples were analyzed using ELISA to quantify total Fab and activated tetrazine (conjugated biotin). To each tumor sample, 6 volumes of PBS was added (by weight of tumor); samples were homogenized using a bead mill homogenizer. Both plasma and homogenized tumor samples were diluted 20x in assay diluent buffer (PBS, 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween-20) before being added to the ELISA plate. [0810] For the ELISA, black-walled 96-well Immuno Plates (ThermoFisher) were coated with AffiniPure goat anti-human antibody F(ab’)2 fragment specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch). The coated plates were used to capture Fab-Tz in both plasma and tumor homogenates. To detect tetrazine conjugated with biotin, streptavidin-HRP was used, followed by a Super Signal PICO chemiluminescent substrate reaction. To detect total Fab, HRP-conjugated AffiniPure goat anti-human antibody F(ab’)2, fragment-specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch) was used, followed by chemiluminescent substrate reaction. Luminescence was recorded using a SpectraMax i3x (Molecular Devices) plate reader. Standard curves for total Fab and intact tetrazine were prepared using eight points ranging from 100 to 0.781 ng/mL. [0811] As shown in FIGs.4A and 4B, there is between 9 – 16x times more Fab detected in plasma compared to at the tumor (FIG.4A) and between 3 – 10x times more Tz detected at the tumor (FIG.4B) depending on the Compound TM-2 dose level. Shown are mean values ± SD. [0812] The data indicates little reaction between Compound TM-2 and the payload-TCO moiety when both molecules are in motion as seen in the plasma and Iso Ctrl at the tumor. [0813] The data further suggests that the optimal dose for Compound TM-2 is between 25 – 100 mg/kg. [0814] It was observed that Fab exposure was prolonged in plasma and at the tumor. Tz levels decreased quickly in plasma but were prolonged at the tumor (FIG.5). In FIG.5, the Iso Ctrl and Compound TM-2 were dosed at t = 0 hr. TCO-biotin was dosed at 30 mg/kg at t = 1, 4, 8, 18, 24 and 36 hrs after the Compound TM-2 dose and at t = 1, 4 and 8 hrs after the Iso-Ctrl dose. Samples were collected 30 minutes later. [0815] Kidney, liver, and spleen tumor data is shown in FIGs.6-9. In FIG.6 and FIG.7, Iso Ctrl and Compound TM-2 were dosed at t = 0 hr. TCO-biotin was dosed at 30 mg/kg at t = 1, 4, 8, 18, 24 and 36 hrs after the TM-2 dose and at t = 1, 4 and 8 hrs after the Iso-Ctrl dose. Samples were collected 30 minutes later. Shown are mean values ± SD. In FIG.8 and FIG.9, TM-2 was dosed at t = 0hr. TCO- Biotin was dosed at 30 mg/kg at t = 1, 4, 8, 18, 24 and 36 hr after the TM-2 dose. Samples were collected 30 minutes later. Shown are mean values ± SD. [0816] The highest tumor/kidney ratio was observed at 8 hours post-TM-2 infusion, while the ratios were highest at 18 hours for the liver and spleen. This data demonstrates that reactive Tz levels are significantly higher at the tumor compared to key tissues, and that specific exposure can be further limited through specific dosing intervals. The ratios for all timepoints are at least 10x higher in tumors compared to other tissues, and are as high as 200x in some timepoints. Differences in ratios suggest differential accumulation and may be exploited to minimize toxicities and optimize drug heuristics. Example 48: Compound TM-1 Plasma and Tumor PK Analysis [0817] This study evaluated TCO and Tz availability over time after Compound TM-1 treatment. [0818] Model: NCI-N87; treatment start ~150-200 mm3 [0819] Animals: Species: Mice; Strain: CB.17 SCID; Source: Charles River (#236); Age: 7 weeks; Sex: Female; Number on Study: 81; Housing per Cage: Up to 5. [0820] Experimental Design:
Figure imgf000211_0001
Figure imgf000212_0001
[0821] Tumor cell culture and inoculation: The NCI-N87 cells were cultured in EMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 units/mL penicillin, and 100 µg/mL streptomycin. Cells were placed in a 37 ºC incubator with an atmosphere supplemented with 5% CO2. The cells were harvested by trypsinization and used to inoculate female CB.17 SCID mice (6 – 8 weeks old) subcutaneously at the right flank with 10 x 106 NCI-N87 cells/100 microliters (0.1 mL) mixture of PBS with Matrigel (1:1) to induce tumor development. [0822] Animal Grouping and Dosing: Animals were monitored weekly for palpable tumors, or any changes in appearance or behavior. Once tumors were palpable, tumors were measured at least once a week using calipers. Tumor volume was calculated using the following equation: (longest diameter * shortest diameter^2)/2. Once tumors were of appropriate size to begin the study, tumors and body weights were measured at least 2 times per week for the duration of the study. One individual was responsible for tumor measurements for the duration of the study. Animals were divided into groups of 3 for the PK study, with mean tumor volumes of ~150 – 200 mm3 prior to dosing. At t = 0 hr, animals were intravenously dosed with a single dose of either Vehicle, Isotype Control, or Compound TM-1. Iso Control was administered at 50 or 200 mg/kg, while Compound TM-1was given at doses of 5,10, 25, 50, 100 or 200 mg/kg. All animals received a single dose of TCO-PEG3-Biotin intravenously at 32.73 mg/kg at a specific time point post-first IV treatment as described in above Experimental Design). [0823] Sample Collection: Thirty minutes after administration of the TCO-PEG3-Biotin dose, approximately 200 µL of blood was collected in EDTA-coated tubes from all animals and processed for plasma. Following blood collection, the animals were perfused with heparinized saline to remove unreacted TCO-PEG3-Biotin from circulation.15 mL heparinized saline solution was used per animal with a flow rate of 5 to 7 mL/min. Tumors, liver, kidney, and spleen were then collected and immediately flash-frozen. [0824] Sample Analysis by ELISA: The plasma, tissue, and tumor samples were analyzed using ELISA to quantify total Fab and activated tetrazine (conjugated biotin). To each tumor sample, 2 volumes of saline were added (by weight of tumor); samples were then homogenized using a bead mill homogenizer. Both plasma and homogenized tumor samples were diluted 10x in assay diluent buffer (Low Cross Buffer containing 5% mouse plasma-EDTA) (PLCB) (BOCA Scientific, #100050) before being added to the ELISA plate. For the ELISA with the luminescence detection system, black-walled 96-well Immuno Plates (ThermoFisher, #437111) were coated with AffiniPure goat anti-human antibody F(ab’)2 fragment specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #109-005-097). The coated plates were used to capture Fab-Tz in both plasma and tumor homogenates. The standard curves and QC samples for total Fab and intact tetrazine were prepared in PLCB using eight points ranging from 50 to 0.4 ng/mL. To quantify tetrazine conjugated with biotin, the standard curve samples, QC, and unknown samples were added to the plate and incubated. The standard curve wells were incubated with diluted TCO-PEG3-biotin, while the unknown samples were incubated with PLCB, followed by a washing step in PBST (PBS, 0.05% Tween- 20). Streptavidin-HRP (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #016-030-084) was used for detection, followed by a Super Signal PICO chemiluminescent substrate reaction (ThermoFisher, #37069). To detect total Fab, HRP-conjugated AffiniPure goat anti-human antibody F(ab’)2, fragment-specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #209-035-097) was used in all wells (i.e., standard curve, QC, and unknown samples), followed by a chemiluminescent substrate reaction. Luminescence was recorded using a SpectraMax i3x (Molecular Devices) plate reader. [0825] For samples requiring high sensitivity, a MesoScale Discovery (MSD) platform assay similar to ELISA was developed. MSD QuickPlex plates were coated with AffiniPure goat anti-human antibody F(ab’)2 fragment specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch, #109-005-006), followed by blocking with 1% casein (ThermoFisher, #37582) and a washing step in PBST. Standard curves and QC samples for total Fab and intact tetrazine were prepared in PLCB using twelve points ranging from 50,000 to 50 pg/mL. The prepared samples were added to the plate and incubated. For the standard curve, wells were incubated with diluted TCO-PEG3-biotin, while unknown samples were incubated with PLCB. After incubation, the plates were washed with PBST. Diluted streptavidin-Sulfo-Tag (MSD #R32AD) at a 1:7,500 ratio was added to all wells, incubated, followed by a final washing step. The signal was generated using MSD Read Buffer and recorded using an MSD plate reader. [0826] FIG.10 and FIG.11 show preferential accumulation of Fab-Tz at the tumor as compared to plasma. All samples in TM-1 show significantly higher tetrazine reactivity, as quantified by Fab-biotin in tumors compared to plasma, and higher levels compared to isotype control groups. * * * [0827] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.
