Small therapeutic proteins represent a promising novel approach to treat cancer. Nevertheless, their clinical application is often adversely impacted by their short plasma half-life. Controlled long-term delivery of small biologicals has become a challenge because of their hydrophilic properties and in some cases their limited stability. Here, an in-situ forming depot injectable polymeric system was used to deliver BiJ591, a Bispecific T-cell Engager (BiTE) targeting both prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) and the CD3 T-cell receptor in prostate cancer. BiJ591 induced T-cell activation, prostate cancer directed cell lysis and tumor growth inhibition. The use of diblock and triblock biodegradable polyethylene glycol - poly(lactic acid) (PEG-PLA) copolymers solubilized in tripropionin, a small chain triglyceride, allowed maintenance of BiJ591 stability and functionality in the formed depot and controlled its release. In mice, after a single subcutaneous injection, one of the polymeric candidates, TB1/DB4, provided the most sustained release of BiJ591 for up to 21 days. Moreover, the use of BiJ591-TB1/DB4 formulation in prostate cancer xenograft models showed significant therapeutic activity in both low and high PSMA expressing tumors whereas daily intravenous administration of BiJ591 was less efficient. Collectively, the present data provide new insights into the development of controlled delivery of small therapeutic proteins in cancer.
