Description
[001] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of Provisional Application Serial No. U.S. 62 / 659,016, filed April 17, 2018, and Provisional Application Serial No. U.S. 62 / 670,442, filed May 11, 2018, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[002] The invention described relates to drug delivery conjugates for targeted therapy. The invention described in this document relates to methods of treating PSMA-expressing cancers with a compound of Formula 1. The invention described in this document also relates to methods of treating PSMA-expressing cancers with a compound of Formula 1 in patients resulting in stable disease after treatment with the compound of Formula 1. BACKGROUND
[003] Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II cell surface membrane-bound glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 110 kDa, comprising an intracellular segment (amino acids 1-18), a transmembrane domain (amino acids 19-43), and an extensive extracellular domain (amino acids 44-750). Although the functions of the intracellular segment and transmembrane domains are currently considered insignificant, the extracellular domain is involved in several distinct activities. PSMA plays a role in the central nervous system. Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 7 / 127 2 / 49 tral, in which it metabolizes N-acetyl-aspartyl glutamate (NAAG) into glutamic acid and N-acetyl aspartic acid. Consequently, it is sometimes also referred to as an N-acetyl alpha-linked acid dipeptidase (NAALADase). PSMA is also sometimes referred to as folate hydrolase I (FOLH I) or glutamate carboxypeptidase (GCP II) due to its role in the proximal small intestine, where it removes γ-linked glutamate from poly-γ-glutamate folate and α-linked glutamate from peptides and small molecules.
[004] PSMA is named, in large part, due to its higher level of expression in prostate cancer cells; however, its particular function in prostate cancer cells remains elusive. PSMA is overexpressed in malignant prostate tissues when compared to other organs in the human body, such as the kidney, proximal small intestine, and salivary glands. Unlike many other membrane-bound proteins, PSMA undergoes rapid internalization into the cell in a manner similar to cell surface-bound receptors, such as vitamin receptors. PSMA is internalized via clathrin-coated wells and can subsequently recycle to the cell surface or go to lysosomes. It has been suggested that the dimer and monomer forms of PSMA are interconvertible, although direct evidence of interconversion is debated. Even so, only the PSMA dimer possesses enzymatic activity, and the monomer does not.
[005] Although the activity of PSMA on the cell surface of prostate cells remains under investigation, it has been recognized by the inventors in this document that PSMA represents a viable target for the selective and / or specific delivery of biologically active agents, including drug compounds, to such prostate cells. One such drug compound is Compound 1. Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 8 / 127 3 / 49 (also known as (3S,10S,14S)-3-[(naphthalen-2-yl)methyl]1,4,12-trioxo-1-[(1R,4S)-4-[[2-[4,7,10-tris(carboxymethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecan-1-yl]acetamido]methyl]cyclohexyl]-2,5,11,13-tetra-azahexadecane-10,14,16-tricarboxylic acid) wherein 177Lu is complexed with the compound, useful for cancer treatment as described in document no. WO2015 / 055318. Compound 1 can be prepared according to the methods described in documents WO2015 / 055318, and WO2015 / 055318 is incorporated by reference for the preparation of Compound 1 as described in Example 3 and Example 5.
[006] Without being limited by theory, PSMA-617 is believed to consist of the pharmacophore ligand, glutamate-urea-lysine; the chelating agent DOTA (capable of complexing 177Lu); and a linker connecting these 2 entities. It is further believed that the urea-based binding motif allows the agent to bind to PSMA and be internalized at least at the site of disease.It is also believed that the binding of 177LuPSMA-617 leads to internalization via endocytosis and sustained retention of the ligand and its bound radioactive cargo within the cancer cell.
[007] Another compound is the PSMA 4 image conjugate Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, p. 9 / 127 4 / 49 (also known as 4,6,12,19-tetra-azadocosane-1,3,7tricarboxylic acid, 22-[3-[[[2-[[[5-(2-carboxyethyl)-2-hydroxyphenyl]methyl](carboxymethyl)amino]ethyl](carboxymethyl)amino]methyl]-4-hydroxyphenyl]-5,13,20trioxo-,(3S,7S)) wherein 68Ga (or a similar radioactive metal isotope) is complexed to the conjugate, useful for cancer imaging, as described in Eder M., Schafer M., Bauder-Wust U, Hull WE, Wangler C, Mier W, et al. 68Ga-complex lipophilicity and the targeting property of a urea-based PSMA inhibitor for PET imaging. Bioconjug Chern. 2012; 23: 688 to 697. The PSMA 4 imaging conjugate that can be prepared according to the methods described in (Eder, 2012), and (Eder, 2012) is incorporated by way of reference for the preparation of the PSMA 4 imaging conjugate, as described in the examples.

In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred preparation methods are vacuum drying and lyophilization, which yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any desired additional ingredient from a solution previously sterilized by filtration thereof, or the ingredients may be... Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 44 / 127 39 / 49 processed together by filtration.
[00129] The composition may be formulated as a solution, microemulsion, liposome or other ordered structure suitable for high drug concentration. The carrier may be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol and the like) and suitable mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, adequate fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersion, and by the use of surfactants.
[00130] Any effective regimen for administering Compound 1 may be used. For example, Compound 1 may be administered in single doses, or the doses may be divided and administered as a multiple daily dose regimen. Additionally, a staggered regimen, for example, one to five days per week, may be used as an alternative to daily treatment, and for the purposes of the methods described in this document, such an intermittent or staggered daily regimen is considered equivalent to daily treatment and is contemplated. In one illustrative embodiment, the patient is treated with multiple injections of Compound 1 to treat cancer. In one embodiment, the patient is injected multiple times (preferably about 2 to about 50 times) with Compound 1, for example, at intervals of 12 to 72 hours or at intervals of 48 to 72 hours.Additional injections of Compound 1 may be administered to the patient at intervals of days or months after the initial injection (or initial injections), and the additional injections may prevent cancer recurrence.
[00131] Any suitable course of therapy with Compound 1 may be used. In one embodiment, individual doses and dosing regimens are selected to provide a total administered dose over one month of approximately 15 mg. In an illustrative example, the Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 45 / 127 40 / 49 Compound 1 is administered as a single daily dose five days a week, during weeks 1, 2, and 3 of each 4-week cycle, with no dose administered in week 4. Alternatively, Compound 1 is administered as a single daily dose three days a week, during weeks 1 and 3 of each 4-week cycle, with no dose administered in weeks 2 and 4. Alternatively, Compound 1 is administered bi-weekly during weeks 1 and 2, i.e., on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of a 3-week cycle. Alternatively, Compound 1 is administered once a week during weeks 1 and 2, i.e., on days 1 and 8 of a 3-week cycle.
[00132] The daily unit dosage of Compound 1 may vary significantly depending on the patient's condition, the cancer being treated, the route of administration of Compound 1 and its distribution in tissues, and the possibility of co-use of other therapeutic treatments, such as radiotherapy or additional drugs in combination therapies. The effective amount to be administered to a patient is based on body surface area, mass, and the physician's assessment of the patient's condition. Therapeutically effective doses (also referred to in this document as the therapeutically effective amount) may range, for example, from about 0.5 mg / m2 to about 10.0 mg / m2.The therapeutically effective doses described in this document also include strips of approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 9.5 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 9.0 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 8.5 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 8.0 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 7.5 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 7.0 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 6.5 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 6.0 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 5.5 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2 to approximately 5.0 mg / m2, approximately 0.5 mg / m2a close to 4.5 mg / m2, close to 0.5 mg / m2a close to 4.0 mg / m2, close.

The therapeutically effective dose for any particular patient or group of patients may be any numerical value between approximately 0.5 mg / m2 and approximately 10.0 mg / m2, including, but not limited to, 1.0 mg / m2, 1.5 mg / m2, 2.0 mg / m2, 2.5 mg / m2, 3.0 mg / m2, 3.5 mg / m2, 4.0 mg / m2, 4.5 mg / m2, 5.0 mg / m2, 5.5 mg / m2, 6.0 mg / m2, 6.5 mg / m2, 7.0 mg / m2, 7.5 mg / m2, 8.0 mg / m2, 8.5 mg / m2, 9.0 mg / m2, 9.5 mg / m2 and 10.0 mg / m2. The total dose may be administered in single or divided doses and may, at the physician's discretion, fall outside the typical range provided in this document.
[00133] In some modalities, the Formula 1 compound may be administered in combination with a second treatment. In some modalities, the second treatment is the best supportive treatment. In some modalities, the second treatment is the best standard of care. In some modalities, the se Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 47 / 127 42 / 49 Secondary treatment is the best supportive / best standard of care.

[00139] The purity of Compound 1 or of the PSMA ligand imaging conjugates described in this document can be measured using any conventional technique, including various chromatographic or spectroscopic techniques, such as high-pressure or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, TLC, UV absorbance spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and the like.
[00140] In another embodiment, Compound 1 or the PSMA ligand imaging conjugate described in this document is supplied in a sterile container or package.
[00141] In one aspect, a clinical benefit to the patient for treatment with Compound 1 can be characterized as overall survival (OS). As used in this document, the term overall survival (OS) means the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.
[00142] In one aspect, a clinical benefit to the patient from treatment with Compound 1 can be characterized using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Illustratively, the criteria were adapted from the original WHO Manual (3), taking into account the measurement of the largest diameter for all target lesions: complete response (CR) — disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR) — decrease of at least 30% in the sum of the largest diameter of the target lesions, taking as reference the largest diameter of the baseline sum; stable disease (SD) — neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify as a partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify as progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum of the largest diameter since the beginning of treatment; progressive disease (PD) — increase of at least 20% Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 50 / 127 45 / 49 in the sum of the largest diameter of the target lesions, taking as a reference the smallest sum of the largest diameter recorded since the beginning of treatment or the appearance of one or more new lesions. In another aspect, the overall disease response rate (ORR) is a clinical benefit and is calculated as the percentage of patients who achieve a better response to CR or PR. The overall disease control rate (DCR) can be another clinical benefit and is calculated as the percentage of patients who achieve a better response to CR, PR, or SD. In some modalities, the response may be the disease control rate (DCR) measured by the RECIST v1.1 criteria.
[00143] In another aspect, a clinical benefit to the patient of treatment with Compound 1 may be characterized as radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). As used in this document, radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) means the time from the date of randomization to the date of radiographic disease progression, as described in the Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) Guidelines, or death from any cause. See, for example, Scher HI, Morris MJ, Stadler WM, Higano C, Basch E, Fizazi K, et al. Trial Design and Objectives for Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Updated Recommendations from the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Work Group 3. J Clin Oncol 2016; 34(12): 1402–1418. In another aspect, a clinical benefit to the patient of treatment with Compound 1 may be characterized as time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE).It will be noted that a symptomatic skeletal event means a clinically significant pathological fracture, bone surgery or radiation, or spinal cord compression. As used in this document, time to first symptomatic skeletal event means the date of randomization until the date of the first new symptomatic pathological bone fracture, spinal cord compression, or orthopedic surgical intervention. Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 51 / 127 46 / 49 foot related to the tumor or need for radiotherapy to relieve bone pain, whichever occurs first.
[00144] In an illustrative example, overall survival is the time to death of a given patient, defined as the number of days from the first day the patient received protocol treatment (C1D1) until the date of the patient's death. All death events may be included, regardless of whether the event occurred while the patient was still taking the study drug or after the patient discontinued the study drug. If a patient did not die, the data may be censored at the last study visit, or the date of last contact, or the last date the patient was alive, whichever is last.
[00145] Alternatively, a clinical benefit to the patient as a result of treatment with Compound 1 may be characterized as the inhibition of tumor growth, which can be identified in a patient through, for example, follow-up imaging of the patient's cancer after treatment with Compound 1. For example, the inhibition of tumor growth may be characterized by measuring the size of tumors in a patient after administration of Compound 1 according to any of the imaging techniques described in this document, with the inhibition of tumor growth being indicated by a stable tumor size or a reduction in tumor size. It will be noted that the identification of tumor growth inhibition can be performed using a variety of techniques, and is not limited to the imaging methods described in this document (e.g., CT, MRI, PET imaging, SPECT imaging, or chest X-ray).
[00146] In one embodiment, a method is provided for determining whether Compound 1 is suitable for the treatment of a cancer patient, wherein the method comprises the step of determining the sta Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 52 / 127 47 / 49 tus of PSMA in a cancer patient, with Compound 1 being indicated for treatment if the patient's PSMA status is positive.
[00147] In one embodiment, a method is provided for evaluating whether Compound 1 is indicated for the treatment of a patient with one of the cancers described in this document. The method comprises the steps of visually determining the patient's PSMA status, wherein PSMA status is based on imaging tumors that are PSMA positive in the patient, and Compound 1 is indicated for the patient's treatment when the patient's PSMA status is positive.
[00148] In the modalities described above, if a patient is in the PSMA-positive status group, a clinical benefit of treatment with Compound 1 is indicated. In one modality, the clinical benefit for the patient may be overall patient survival, ability to receive four or more cycles of Compound 1 therapy, inhibition of tumor growth, stable disease, a partial patient response to therapy, a complete patient response to therapy, disease control (i.e., the best outcome achieved is a complete response, a partial response, or stable disease), and / or overall disease response (i.e., the best outcome achieved is a complete or partial response). In an illustrative example, the clinical benefit for a patient being treated for pleural mesothelioma or adenocarcinoma (e.g., adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction) is stable disease.
[00149] In another embodiment, the methods described in this document include the following examples. The examples also illustrate additional features of the various embodiments of the invention described in this document. However, it should be understood that the examples are illustrative and should not be interpreted as limiting or Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, p. 53 / 127 48 / 49 other embodiments of the invention described in this document.

[00150] Patients with positive PSMA tests were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive Composite 1 plus best support / best standard of care or to receive best support / best standard of care alone. Best support / best standard of care was determined by the attending physician / investigator. The study is open-label, and patients are monitored over a treatment period of 6 to 10 months for survival, disease progression, and adverse events. A long-term follow-up period includes collection of survival and treatment updates, assessment of adverse events, as well as blood for hematology and chemistry tests. During follow-up, patients are contacted every 3 months (± 1 month) by phone, email, or letter for 24 months or until the overall censoring rate for survival falls to a level identified in the SAP. B. Arm 1: Composite 1 plus best support / best standard of care (BS / BSOC)
[00151] Approximately 160 patients were randomized to receive the investigational product at a dose of 7.4 GBq (± 10%) of Compound 1 (dose is equivalent to 200 mCi) intravenously every 6 weeks (± 1 week) for a maximum of 6 cycles, plus best support / best standard of care (BS / BSOC). After 4 cycles, patients are evaluated for (1) evidence of response, (2) residual disease, and (3) tolerance to Compound 1. A saline flush with ≥ 10 mL of normal saline is administered to ga Petition 870260029766, dated 03 / 30 / 2026, page 54 / 127 49 / 49 Ensure intravenous line patency before administering 177Lu-PSMA-617. 177Lu-PSMA-617 was administered slowly intravenously through a permanent catheter and followed by flushing with saline solution. The administration time should be recorded. Total administered activity (GBq) should be measured. To date, patients have received between 1 and 6 cycles in the randomized arm. To date, approximately 320 patients have been examined with Ga-PSMA Conjugate 4 imaging. C. Arm 2: Best Support / Best Standard of Care (BS / BSOC) alone
