[0028] The present disclosure provides, for example, methods for restoring wild-type function to mutant p53 using compounds disclosed herein. The compounds can bind to mutant p53 and restore the ability of the p53 mutant to bind DNA. The restoration of activity of the p53 mutant can allow for the activation of downstream effectors of p53 leading to inhibition of cancer progression. The disclosure further provides methods of treatment of a cancerous lesion or a tumor harboring a p53 mutation.
[0029] Cancer is a collection of related diseases characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of cells with the potential to metastasize throughout the body. Cancer can be classified into five broad categories including, for example: carcinomas, which can arise from cells that cover internal and external parts of the body such as the lung, breast, and colon; sarcomas, which can arise from cells that are located in bone, cartilage, fat, connective tissue, muscle, and other supportive tissues; lymphomas, which can arise in the lymph nodes and immune system tissues; leukemia, which can arise in the bone marrow and accumulate in the bloodstream; and adenomas, which can arise in the thyroid, the pituitary gland, the adrenal gland, and other glandular tissues.
[0030] Although different cancers can develop in virtually any of the body’s tissues, and contain unique features, the basic processes that cause cancer can be similar in all forms of the disease. Cancer begins when a cell breaks free from the normal restraints on cell division and begins to grow and divide out of control. Genetic mutations in the cell can preclude the ability of the cell to repair damaged DNA or initiate apoptosis, and can result in uncontrolled growth and division of cells.
[0031] The ability of tumor cell populations to multiply is determined not only by the rate of cell proliferation but also by the rate of cell attrition. Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, represents a major mechanism of cellular attrition. Cancer cells can evade apoptosis through a variety of strategies, for example, through the suppression of p53 function, thereby suppressing expression of pro-apoptotic proteins.
[0032] Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes can regulate the proliferation of cells. Genetic mutations can affect oncogenes and tumor suppressors, potentially activating or suppressing activity abnormally, further facilitating uncontrolled cell division. Whereas oncogenes assist in cellular growth, tumor suppressor genes slow cell division by repairing damaged DNA and activating apoptosis. Cellular oncogenes that can be mutated in cancer include, for example, Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk3, Cdk4, Cdk6, EGFR, PDGFR, VEGF, HER2, Raf, KRAS, and myc. Tumor suppressor genes that can be mutated in cancer include, for example, BRCA1, BRCA2, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C, Retinoblastoma protein (pRb), PTEN, p16, p27, p53, and p73. K-Ras.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0033] K-Ras is a Ras-family GTPase encoded by the KRAS oncogene. In mammals, KRAS can be expressed from alternative splicing in either of two isoforms, K-Ras4A and K-RasB. In wild type K-Ras, the binding of GTP activates intracellular signaling pathways operative in cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Oncogenic mutations in the KRAS gene can place K-Ras in a constitutively active state, thereby conferring ligand-independent activation leading to tumorigenesis. Mutations in KRAS associated with cancer include mutations listed in TABLE 1. TABLE 1
[0034] In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure that binds p53 is more efficacious in the treatment of cancer in a subject that does not contain an oncogenic KRAS mutation relative to treatment of cancer in a subject that contains an oncogenic KRAS mutation. In some embodiments, a subject is selected for treatment with a p53-activating compound of the disclosure at least in part on the basis that the subject does not exhibit a mutation in codons 12, 13, and 61 of a KRAS gene in the subject. In some embodiments, the subject is selected for treatment on the basis that the subject does not exhibit a mutation in codons 12, 13, 59, 61, 117, and 146 of a KRAS gene in the subject. In some embodiments, the KRAS gene in the subject is a gene of a cancer cell in the subject.
[0035] In some embodiments, a cancer cell of the subject contains a KRAS gene that expresses a wildtype K-ras protein. A wild-type K-ras protein can be, for example, K-Ras4A: MTEYKLVVVG AGGVGKSALT IQLIQNHFVD EYDPTIEDSY RKQVVIDGET CLLDILDTAGAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 QEEYSAMRDQ YMRTGEGFLC VFAINNTKSF EDIHHYREQI KRVKDSEDVP MVLVGNKCDL PSRTVDTKQA QDLARSYGIP FIETSAKTRQ RVEDAFYTLV REIRQYRLKK ISKEEKTPGC VKIKKCIIM (SEQ ID NO 1), or K-Ras4B: MTEYKLVVVG AGGVGKSALT IQLIQNHFVD EYDPTIEDSY RKQVVIDGET CLLDILDTAG QEEYSAMRDQ YMRTGEGFLC VFAINNTKSF EDIHHYREQI KRVKDSEDVP MVLVGNKCDL PSRTVDTKQA QDLARSYGIP FIETSAKTRQ GVDDAFYTLV REIRKHKEKM SKDGKKKKKK SKTKCVIM (SEQ ID NO 2). BRCA1 / 2.
[0036] BRCA1 and BRCA2 are human proteins encoded by the BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes, respectively. Both proteins are involved in repairing double-stranded breaks in DNA. In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure that binds p53 is more efficacious in the treatment of cancer in a subject that does not contain an oncogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation relative to treatment of cancer in a subject that contains an oncogenic BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure that binds p53 is more efficacious in the treatment of cancer in a subject that does not contain an oncogenic BRCA1 mutation relative to treatment of cancer in a subject that contains an oncogenic BRCA1 mutation. In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure that binds p53 is more efficacious in the treatment of cancer in a subject that does not contain an oncogenic BRCA2 mutation relative to treatment of cancer in a subject that contains an oncogenic BRCA2 mutation. PIK3CA.
[0037] The PIK3CA gene encodes the p110 alpha (p110α) protein, which forms the catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Mutations in the p110α subunit can be found in many forms of cancer, including ovarian, head and neck lung skin, brain, breast, prostate, colorectal, cervical, esophageal, skin, thyroid, gastric, liver, and pancreatic cancers, and often co-occur with HER-2 protein overexpression in breast cancer. In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure that binds p53 is more efficacious in the treatment of cancer in a subject that does not contain an oncogenic PIK3CA mutation relative to treatment of cancer in a subject that contains an oncogenic PIK3CA mutation. Mutations in PIK3CA associated with cancer include mutations listed in TABLE 2. TABLE 2Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 Tumor suppressor p53.
[0038] The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a 393 amino acid transcription factor that can regulate cell growth in response to cellular stresses including, for example, UV radiation, hypoxia, oncogene activation, and DNA damage. p53 has various mechanisms for inhibiting the progression of cancer including, for example, initiation of apoptosis, maintenance of genomic stability, cell cycle arrest, induction of senescence, and inhibition of angiogenesis. Due to the critical role of p53 in tumor suppression, p53 is inactivated in almost all cancers either by direct mutation or through perturbation of associated signaling pathways involved in tumor suppression. Homozygous loss of the p53 gene occurs in almost all types of cancer, including carcinomas of the breast, colon, and lung. The presence of certain p53 mutations in several types of human cancer can correlate with less favorable patient prognosis.
[0039] In the absence of stress signals, p53 levels are maintained at low levels via the interaction of p53 with Mdm2, an E3 ubiquitin ligase. In an unstressed cell, Mdm2 can target p53 for degradation by the proteasome. Under stress conditions, the interaction between Mdm2 and p53 is disrupted, and p53 accumulates. The critical event leading to the activation of p53 is phosphorylation of the N-terminal domain of p53 by protein kinases, thereby transducing upstream stress signals. The phosphorylation of p53 leads to a conformational change, which can promote DNA binding by p53 and allow transcription of downstream effectors. The activation of p53 can induce, for example, the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, the extrinsic apoptotic pathway, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and DNA repair. p53 can activate proteins involved in the above pathways including, for example, Fas / Apo1, KILLER / DR5, Bax, Puma, Noxa, Bid, caspase-3, caspase-6, caspase-7, caspase-8, caspase-9, and p21 (WAF1). Additionally, p53 can indirectly repress the transcription of a variety of genes including, for example, c-MYC, Cyclin B, VEGF, RAD51, and hTERT.
[0040] Each chain of the p53 tetramer is composed of several functional domains including the transactivation domain (amino acids 1-100), the DNA-binding domain (amino acids 101-306), and the tetramerization domain (amino acids 307-355), which are highly mobile and largely unstructured. Most p53 cancer mutations are located in the DNA-binding core domain of the protein, which contains a central β-sandwich of anti-parallel β-sheets that serves as a basic scaffold for the DNA-binding surface. The DNA-binding surface is composed of two β-turn loops, L2 and L3, which are stabilized by a zinc ion, for example, at Arg175 and Arg248, and a loop-sheet-helix motif. Altogether, these structural elements form an extended DNA-binding surface that is rich in positively-charged amino acids, and makes specific contact with various p53 response elements.
[0041] Due to the prevalence of p53 mutations in virtually every type of cancer, the reactivation of wild- type p53 function in a cancerous cell can be an effective therapy. Mutations in p53 located in the DNA- binding domain of the protein or periphery of the DNA-binding surface can result in aberrant protein folding required for DNA recognition and binding or reduction in DNA binding affinity. Mutations in p53 can occur, for example, at amino acids Val143, His168, Arg175, Tyr220, Gly245, Arg248, Arg249, Phe270, Arg273, and Arg282. p53 mutations that can abrogate the activity of p53 include, for example, R175H, Y220C, G245S, R248Q, R248W, R273C, R273H, and R282H. p53 mutations can distort theAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 structure of the DNA-binding site, thermodynamically destabilize the folded protein at body temperature, or weaken consensus DNA binding. Wild-type function of p53 mutants can be recovered by binding of the p53 mutant to a compound that can shift the folding-unfolding equilibrium towards the folded state, thereby reducing the rate of unfolding and destabilization; or by conjugating a small molecule to the DNA binding interface to restore consensus DNA binding.
[0042] Non-limiting examples of amino acids include: alanine (A, Ala); arginine (R, Arg); asparagine (N, Asn); aspartic acid (D, Asp); cysteine (C, Cys); glutamic acid (E, Glu); glutamine (Q, Gln); glycine (G, Gly); histidine (H, His); isoleucine (I, Ile); leucine (L, Leu); lysine (K, Lys); methionine (M, Met); phenylalanine (F, Phe); proline (P, Pro); serine (S, Ser); threonine (T, Thr); tryptophan (W, Trp); tyrosine (Y, Tyr); and valine (V, Val). CA-125.
[0043] CA-125 is a cancer antigen. A CA-125 test can be used to measure the amount of the CA-125 protein in the blood of a patient. A CA-125 test can be used to monitor certain cancers during and after treatment. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method of treating a cancer, the method comprising: a) administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically-effective amount of a compound herein (e.g., Compound 1); and b) subsequent to the administering, monitoring a level of CA- 125 protein in the subject. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method comprising monitoring a level of CA-125 in a subject who is undergoing therapy for a cancer with a compound herein (e.g., Compound 1). HRD.
[0044] Homologous recombination is a process wherein nucleotide sequences between distinct stands of DNA are exchanged. Homologous recombination is involved in a number of different biological processes, for example, homologous recombination occurs as part of the DNA repair process (e.g., doubled-strand break repair pathway and synthesis-dependent strand annealing pathway) and during process of meiosis / gametogenesis of eukaryotic organisms. Homologous recombination deficiency, also known is homologous recombination repair deficiency, homologous repair deficiency, or HRD is a reduction or impairment of the homologous recombination process. A sample that suffers from HRD can accumulate genomic errors or chromosomal aberrations that can be used as a biomarker for HRD. Chromosomal aberration (CA) is a detectable variation in a sample's chromosomal DNA. In some embodiments, CA falls into at least one of three overlapping categories: loss of heterozygosity (LOH), allelic imbalance (e.g., telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI)), or large scale transition (LST).
[0045] In some embodiments, HRD status is determined by the detection of CA in a sample (e.g., a tumor sample) obtained from a patient. In some embodiments, a sample having a positive HRD status meets or exceeds a threshold number or level of CAs at a specified number of chromosomal indicator regions. In some embodiments, HRD status is determined using a commercially available diagnostic to detect chromosomal aberrations in a sample (e.g. a tumor sample) and / or to assess whether a sample is able to repair double-strand DNA breaks. Non-limiting examples of diagnostics suitable to assess HRD status include the myChoice HRD™ diagnostic kit (Myriad Genetics, South San Francisco).Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0046] In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure that binds p53 is more efficacious in the treatment of cancer in a subject that is HRD negative relative to treatment of cancer in a subject that is HRD positive. Mechanism of compounds of the disclosure.
[0047] The compounds of the present disclosure can selectively bind to a p53 mutant and can recover wild-type activity of the p53 mutant including, for example, DNA binding function and activation of downstream targets involved in tumor suppression. In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure selectively binds to the p53 Y220C mutant. The Y220C mutant is a temperature sensitive mutant, which binds to DNA at lower temperature and is denatured at body temperature. A compound of the disclosure can stabilize the Y220C mutant to reduce the likelihood of denaturation of the protein at body temperature.
[0048] In some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure stabilize a mutant p53 and allows the mutant p53 to bind to DNA, thereby shifting the equilibrium of wild type and mutant p53 proteins to wild type p53. In some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure reactivate the mutant p53 protein to provide wild type p53 activity. In some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure reactivate the mutant p53 protein to provide pro-apoptotic p53 activity. In some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure reactivate the mutant p53 protein to block angiogenesis. In some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure reactivate the mutant p53 protein to induce cellular senescence. In some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure reactivate the mutant p53 protein to induce cell cycle arrest.
[0049] Located in the periphery of the p53 β-sandwich connecting β-strands S7 and S8, the aromatic ring of Y220 is an integral part of the hydrophobic core of the β-sandwich. The Y220C mutation can be highly destabilizing, due to the formation of an internal surface cavity. A compound of the disclosure can bind to and occupy this surface crevice to stabilize the β-sandwich, thereby restoring wild-type p53 DNA-binding activity.
[0050] To determine the ability of a compound of the disclosure to bind and stabilize mutant p53, assays can be employed to detect, for example, a conformational change in the p53 mutant or activation of wild- type p53 targets. Conformational changes in p53 can be measured by, for example, differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR), or X-ray crystallography. Additionally, antibodies specific for the wild-type of mutant conformation of p53 can be used to detect a conformational change via, for example, immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), or immunoblotting.
[0051] Methods used to detect the ability of the p53 mutant to bind DNA can include, for example, DNA affinity immunoblotting, modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), homogeneous time- resolved fluorescence (HTRF), and a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay.
[0052] To determine whether a compound described herein is able to reactivate the transcriptional activity of p53, the activation of downstream targets in the p53 signaling cascade can be measured. Activation of p53 effector proteins can be detected by, for example, immunohistochemistry (IHC-P),Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and western blotting. The activation of p53 can also be measured by the induction of apoptosis via the caspase cascade and using methods including, for example, Annexin V staining, TUNEL assays, pro-caspase and caspase levels, and cytochrome c levels. Another consequence of p53 activation is senescence, which can be measured using methods such as β-galactosidase staining.
[0053] A p53 mutant that can be used to determine the effectiveness of a compound of the disclosure to increase the DNA binding ability of a p53 mutant is a p53 truncation mutant, which contains only amino acids 94-312, encompassing the DNA-binding domain of p53.

[0190] Compounds can be delivered via liposomal technology. The use of liposomes as drug carriers can increase the therapeutic index of the compounds. Liposomes are composed of natural phospholipids, and can contain mixed lipid chains with surfactant properties (e.g., egg phosphatidylethanolamine). A liposome design can employ surface ligands for attaching to unhealthy tissue. Non-limiting examples of liposomes include the multilamellar vesicle (MLV), the small unilamellar vesicle (SUV), and the large unilamellar vesicle (LUV). Liposomal physicochemical properties can be modulated to optimize penetration through biological barriers and retention at the site of administration, and to reduce a likelihood of developing premature degradation and toxicity to non-target tissues. Optimal liposomal properties depend on the administration route: large-sized liposomes show good retention upon local injection, small-sized liposomes are better suited to achieve passive targeting. PEGylation reduces the uptake of the liposomes by the liver and spleen, and increases the circulation time, resulting in increased localization at the inflamed site due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Additionally, liposomal surfaces can be modified to achieve selective delivery of the encapsulated drug to specific target cells. Non-limiting examples of targeting ligands include monoclonal antibodies, vitamins, peptides, and polysaccharides specific for receptors concentrated on the surface of cells associated with the disease.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601

In a certain embodiment, a refractory patient is a patient refractory to a standard therapy (e.g., surgery, radiation, anti-androgen therapy and / or drug therapy such as chemotherapy). In certain embodiments, a patient with the cancer is refractory to a therapy when the cancer has not significantly been eradicated and / or the one or more symptoms have not been significantly alleviated. The determination of whether a patient is refractory can be made either in vivo or in vitro by any method effective for assaying the effectiveness of a treatment of cancer. In various embodiments, a patient with cancer is refractory when the number of CTCs or MNBCs associated with the cancer has not decreased or has increased.

[0259] In some embodiments, a subject with a cancer that does not comprise a KRAS gene containing an oncogenic mutation is a candidate for cancer treatment with a compound of the disclosure. In some embodiments, the cancer comprises a p53-deactivating mutation. Cancer cells from patient groups can be assayed to determine mutations and / or expression of wild-type proteins (e.g., p53 and / or K-ras) prior to treatment with a compound of the disclosure.
[0260] In some embodiments, a subject is selected for treatment with a p53-activating compound of the present disclosure at least in part on the basis of the mutational status of one or more genes. In cases where a subject is selected for treatment on the basis of the mutational status of more than one gene, the selection can be made, at least in part, on the basis of a result of a single assay or the results of more than one assay. For example, a biological sample of the subject (e.g., a solid tumor sample) can be subjected to a single assay that can provide a result, wherein the result describes the mutational status of two or more genes (e.g., TP53, KRAS, BRCA1, and / or BRCA2).
[0261] In some embodiments, the assay is DNA sequencing. In some embodiments, the assay is next- generation DNA sequencing. In some embodiments, the assay is RNA sequencing. In some embodiment, the assay is real-time PCR.
[0262] In some embodiments, the biological sample is a liquid biopsy. In some embodiments, the biological sample is a blood sample. In some embodiments, the biological sample is circulating tumor DNA. In some embodiments, the biological sample is cell free DNA. In some embodiments, the biological sample is a solid tumor sample.

The assays can be same type of assay or different assays, and can be conducted simultaneously or subsequently by the same party or different parties. Each assay can be conducted on the same biological sample or different biological samples. For example, a biological sample of the subject can be subjected to an assay that determines a mutational status of at least one gene, optionally stored for a period of time, and subjected to another assay that determines the mutational status of another gene. Alternatively or in addition, a first biological sample (e.g., a solid tumor sample) can be subjected to an assay that determines the mutational status of one gene (e.g., TP53), and a second biological sample (e.g., circulating tumor DNA) can be subjected to a second assay that determines the status of another gene (e.g., KRAS, BRCA1, and / or BRCA2).Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0264] The activity of the p53 pathway can be determined by the mutational status of genes involved in the p53 pathways, including, for example, AKT1, AKT2, AKT3, ALK, BRAF, CDK4, CDKN2A, DDR2, EGFR, ERBB2 (HER2), FGFR1, FGFR3, GNA11, GNQ, GNAS, KDR, KIT, KRAS, MAP2K1 (MEK1), MET, HRAS, NOTCH1, NRAS, NTRK2, PIK3CA, NF1, PTEN, RAC1, RB1, NTRK3, STK11, PIK3R1, TSC1, TSC2, RET, TP53, and VHL.

[0265] Cancer cell samples can be obtained, for example, from solid or liquid tumors via primary or metastatic tumor resection (e.g., pneumonectomy, lobectomy, wedge resection, and craniotomy) primary or metastatic disease biopsy (e.g., transbronchial or needle core), pleural or ascites fluid (e.g., FFPE cell pellet), bone marrow aspirate, bone marrow clot, and bone marrow biopsy, or macro-dissection of tumor rich areas (solid tumors).
[0266] To detect mutational status of KRAS, TP53, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 in a tissue, cancerous tissue can be isolated from surrounding normal tissues. For example, the tissue can be isolated from paraffin or cryostat sections. Cancer cells can also be separated from normal cells by flow cytometry. If the cancer cells tissue is highly contaminated with normal cells, detection of mutations can be more difficult.
[0267] Various methods and assays for analyzing mutations are suitable for use in the disclosure. Non- limiting examples of assays include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), quantitative PCR (qPCR), real- time PCR (RT-PCR), Sanger sequencing, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), microarray, Southern Blot, northern blot, western blot, eastern Blot, H&E staining, microscopic assessment of tumors, massively parallel sequencing (MPS), next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) (e.g., extraction, purification, quantitation, and amplification of DNA, library preparation), immunohistochemistry (IHC), protein quantification, chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH).
[0268] A microarray allows a researcher to investigate multiple DNA sequences attached to a surface, for example, a DNA chip made of glass or silicon, or a polymeric bead or resin. The DNA sequences are hybridized with fluorescent or luminescent probes. The microarray can indicate the presence of oligonucleotide sequences in a sample based on hybridization of sample sequences to the probes, followed by washing and subsequent detection of the probes. Quantification of the fluorescent or luminescent signal indicates the presence of known oligonucleotide sequences in the sample.
[0269] PCR allows rapid amplification of DNA oligomers, and can be used to identify an oligonucleotide sequence in a sample. PCR experiments involve contacting an oligonucleotide sample with a PCR mixture containing primers complementary to a target sequence, one or more DNA polymerase enzymes, deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) building blocks, including dATP, dGTP,Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 dTTP, and dCTP, suitable buffers, salts, and additives. If a sample contains an oligonucleotide sequence complementary to a pair of primers, the experiment amplifies the sample sequence, which can be collected and identified.
[0270] In some embodiments, an assay comprises amplifying a biomolecule from the cancer sample. The biomolecule can be a nucleic acid molecule, such as DNA or RNA. In some embodiments, the assay comprises circularization of a nucleic acid molecule, followed by digestion of the circularized nucleic acid molecule.
[0271] In some embodiments, the assay comprises contacting an organism, or a biochemical sample collected from an organism, such as a nucleic acid sample, with a library of oligonucleotides, such as PCR primers. The library can contain any number of oligonucleotide molecules. The oligonucleotide molecules can bind individual DNA or RNA motifs, or any combination of motifs described herein. The motifs can be any distance apart, and the distance can be known or unknown. In some embodiments, two or more oligonucleotides in the same library bind motifs a known distance apart in a parent nucleic acid sequence. Binding of the primers to the parent sequence can take place based on the complementarity of the primers to the parent sequence. Binding can take place, for example, under annealing, or under stringent conditions.
[0272] In some embodiments, the results of an assay are used to design a new oligonucleotide sequence for future use. In some embodiments, the results of an assay are used to design a new oligonucleotide library for future use. In some embodiments, the results of an assay are used to revise, refine, or update an existing oligonucleotide library for future use. For example, an assay can reveal that a previously undocumented nucleic acid sequence is associated with the presence of a target material. This information can be used to design or redesign nucleic acid molecules and libraries.
[0273] In some embodiments, one or more nucleic acid molecules in a library comprise a barcode tag. In some embodiments, one or more of the nucleic acid molecules in a library comprise type I or type II restriction sites suitable for circularization and cutting an amplified sample nucleic acid sequence. Such primers can be used to circularize a PCR product and cut the PCR product to provide a product nucleic acid sequence with a sequence that is organized differently from the nucleic acid sequence native to the sample organism.
[0274] After a PCR experiment, the presence of an amplified sequence can be verified. Non-limiting examples of methods for finding an amplified sequence include DNA sequencing, whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (WTSS, or RNA-seq), mass spectrometry (MS), microarray, pyrosequencing, column purification analysis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and index tag sequencing of a PCR product generated from an index-tagged primer.
[0275] In some embodiments, more than one nucleic acid sequence in the sample organism is amplified. Non-limiting examples of methods of separating different nucleic acid sequences in a PCR product mixture include column purification, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), HPLC / MS, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and size exclusion chromatography.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0276] The amplified nucleic acid molecules can be identified by sequencing. Nucleic acid sequencing can be performed on automated instrumentation. Sequencing experiments can be done in parallel to analyze tens, hundreds, or thousands of sequences simultaneously. Non-limiting examples of sequencing techniques follow.
[0277] In pyrosequencing, DNA is amplified within a water droplet containing a single DNA template bound to a primer-coated bead in an oil solution. Nucleotides are added to a growing sequence, and the addition of each base is evidenced by visual light.
[0278] Ion semiconductor sequencing detects the addition of a nucleic acid residue as an electrical signal associated with a hydrogen ion liberated during synthesis. A reaction well containing a template is flooded with the four types of nucleotide building blocks, one at a time. The timing of the electrical signal identifies which building block was added, and identifies the corresponding residue in the template.
[0279] DNA nanoball uses rolling circle replication to amplify DNA into nanoballs. Unchained sequencing by ligation of the nanoballs reveals the DNA sequence.
[0280] In a reversible dyes approach, nucleic acid molecules are annealed to primers on a slide and amplified. Four types of fluorescent dye residues, each complementary to a native nucleobase, are added, the residue complementary to the next base in the nucleic acid sequence is added, and unincorporated dyes are rinsed from the slide. Four types of reversible terminator bases (RT-bases) are added, and non- incorporated nucleotides are washed away. Fluorescence indicates the addition of a dye residue, thus identifying the complementary base in the template sequence. The dye residue is chemically removed, and the cycle repeats.
[0281] Detection of point mutations can be accomplished by molecular cloning of the KRAS, PIK3CA, TP53, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 allele(s) present in the cancer cell tissue and sequencing that allele(s). Alternatively, PCR can be used to amplify KRAS, PIK3CA, TP53, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 gene sequences directly from a genomic DNA preparation from the cancer cell tissue. The DNA sequence of the amplified sequences can then be determined. Specific deletions of KRAS, PIK3CA, TP53, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes can also be detected. For example, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) probes for the KRAS, PIK3CA, TP53, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 gene or surrounding marker genes can be used to score loss of a KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 allele.
[0282] Loss of wild-type KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes can also be detected on the basis of the loss of a wild-type expression product of the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes. Such expression products include both the mRNA as well as the p53, BRCA1, BRCA2, and / or K-ras protein products. Point mutations can be detected by sequencing the mRNA directly or via molecular cloning of cDNA made from the mRNA. The sequence of the cloned cDNA can be determined using DNA sequencing techniques. The cDNA can also be sequenced via PCR.
[0283] Alternatively, mismatch detection can be used to detect point mutations in the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes or the mRNA products. The method can involve the use of a labeled riboprobes complementary to the human wild-type KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / orAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 BRCA2 genes. The riboprobes and either mRNA or DNA isolated from the cancer cell tissue are annealed (hybridized) together and subsequently digested with the enzyme RNase A which is able to detect some mismatches in a duplex RNA structure. If a mismatch is detected by RNase A, the enzyme cleaves at the site of the mismatch. Thus, when the annealed RNA preparation is separated on an electrophoretic gel matrix, if a mismatch has been detected and cleaved by RNase A, an RNA product is seen that is smaller than the full-length duplex RNA for the riboprobe and the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 mRNA or DNA. The riboprobe need not be the full length of the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 mRNA or genes but can be a segment of either. For example, if the riboprobe comprises only a segment of KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 mRNA or genes, a number of these probes can be used to screen the whole mRNA sequence for mismatches.
[0284] In similar fashion, DNA probes can be used to detect mismatches, through enzymatic or chemical cleavage. Alternatively, mismatches can be detected by shifts in the electrophoretic mobility of mismatched duplexes relative to matched duplexes. With either riboprobes or DNA probes, the cellular mRNA or DNA which might contain a mutation can be amplified using PCR (see below) before hybridization.
[0285] DNA sequences of the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes from the cancer cell tissue which have been amplified by use of PCR can also be screened using allele-specific probes. These probes are nucleic acid oligomers, each of which contains a region of the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 gene sequences harboring a known mutation. For example, one oligomer can be about 30 nucleotides in length, corresponding to certain portion(s) of the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 gene sequence(s). At the position coding for the 175th codon of p53 gene the oligomer encodes an alanine, rather than the wild-type codon valine. By use of a battery of such allele-specific probes, the PCR amplification products can be screened to identify the presence of previously identified mutations in KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes. Hybridization of allele-specific probes with amplified KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 sequences can be performed, for example, on a nylon filter. Hybridization to a particular probe indicates the presence of the same mutation in the cancer cell tissue as in the allele-specific probe.
[0286] The identification of KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 gene structural changes in cancer cells can be facilitated through the application of a diverse series of high resolution, high throughput microarray platforms. Essentially two types of array include those that carry PCR products from cloned nucleic acids (e.g., cDNA, BACs, cosmids) and those that use oligonucleotides. The methods can provide a way to survey genome wide DNA copy number abnormalities and expression levels to allow correlations between losses, gains, and amplifications in cancer cells with genes that are over- and under- expressed in the same samples. The gene expression arrays that provide estimates of mRNA levels in cancer cells have given rise to exon-specific arrays that can identify both gene expression levels, alternative splicing events and mRNA processing alterations.
[0287] Oligonucleotide arrays can be used to interrogate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) throughout the genome for linkage and association studies and these have been adapted to quantify copyAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 number abnormalities and loss of heterozygosity events. DNA sequencing arrays can allow resequencing of chromosome regions and whole genomes.
[0288] SNP-based arrays or other gene arrays or chips can determine the presence of wild-type TP53 and / or KRAS alleles and the structure of mutations. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a variation at a single site in DNA, is the most frequent type of variation in the genome. For example, there are an estimated 5-10 million SNPs in the human genome. SNPs can be synonymous or nonsynonymous substitutions. Synonymous SNP substitutions do not result in a change of amino acid in the protein due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, but can affect function in other ways. For example, a seemingly silent mutation in gene that codes for a membrane transport protein can slow down translation, allowing the peptide chain to misfold and produce a less functional mutant membrane transport protein. Nonsynonymous SNP substitutions can be missense substitutions or nonsense substitutions. Missense substitutions occur when a single base change results in change in amino acid sequence of the protein and malfunction thereof leads to disease. Nonsense substitutions occur when a point mutation results in a premature stop codon, or a nonsense codon in the transcribed mRNA, which results in a truncated and usually, nonfunctional, protein product. As SNPs are highly conserved throughout evolution and within a population, the map of SNPs serves as an excellent genotypic marker for research. SNP array is a useful tool to study the whole genome.
[0289] In addition, SNP array can be used for studying the Loss Of Heterozygosity (LOH). LOH is a form of allelic imbalance that can result from the complete loss of an allele or from an increase in copy number of one allele relative to the other. While other chip-based methods (e.g., comparative genomic hybridization can detect only genomic gains or deletions), SNP array has the additional advantage of detecting copy number neutral LOH due to uniparental disomy (UPD). In UPD, one allele or whole chromosome from one parent are missing leading to reduplication of the other parental allele (uni- parental = from one parent, disomy = duplicated). In a disease setting this occurrence can be pathologic when the wild-type allele (e.g., from the mother) is missing and instead two copies of the heterozygous allele (e.g., from the father) are present. This usage of SNP array has a huge potential in cancer diagnostics as LOH is a prominent characteristic of most human cancers. SNP array technology have shown that cancers (e.g., gastric cancer, liver cancer, etc.) and hematologic malignancies (ALL, MDS, CML, etc.) have a high rate of LOH due to genomic deletions or UPD and genomic gains. In the present disclosure, using high density SNP array to detect LOH allows identification of pattern of allelic imbalance to determine the presence of wild-type p53 allele.

[0294] Mutations of wild-type KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes can also be detected on the basis of the mutation of a wild-type expression product of the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes. Such expression products include both the mRNA as well as the p110α, p53, BRCA1, BRCA2 and / or K-ras protein products themselves. Point mutations can be detected by sequencing the mRNA directly or via molecular cloning of cDNA made from the mRNA. The sequence of the cloned cDNA can be determined using DNA sequencing techniques. The cDNA can also be sequenced via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A panel of monoclonal antibodies could be used in which each of the epitopes involved in p53, BRCA1, BRCA2, and / or K-ras functions are represented by monoclonal antibodies. Loss or perturbation of binding of a monoclonal antibody in the panel can indicate mutational alteration of the p53 and / or K-ras proteins and thus of the KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes themselves. Mutant TP53 and / or KRAS genes or gene products can also be detected in body samples, including, for example, serum, stool, urine, and sputum. The same techniques discussed above for detection of mutant KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes or gene products in tissues can be applied to other body samples.
[0295] Loss of wild-type KRAS, TP53, PIK3CA, BRCA1 and / or BRCA2 genes can also be detected by screening for loss of wild-type p53, PIK3CA, BRCA1, BRCA2, and / or K-ras protein function. Although all of the functions which the p53 protein undoubtedly possesses have yet to be elucidated, at least two specific functions are known. Protein p53 binds to the SV40 large T antigen as well as to the adenovirus E1B antigen. Loss of the ability of the p53 protein to bind to either or both of these antigens indicates a mutational alteration in the protein which reflects a mutational alteration of the gene itself. Alternatively, a panel of monoclonal antibodies could be used in which each of the epitopes involved in p53 functions are represented by a monoclonal antibody. Loss or perturbation of binding of a monoclonal antibody in the panel would indicate mutational alteration of the p53 protein and thus of the p53 gene itself. Any method for detecting an altered p53 protein can be used to detect loss of wild-type p53 genes.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601

In some examples the confirmation of the lack of the KRAS mutation is performed within 1 month of the first administration of the compound to the subject. In some examples the confirmation of the lack of the KRAS mutation is performed within 21 days of the first administration of the compound to the subject. EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1: Retrospective confirmatory testing for a p53 Y220C mutation.
[0297] NGS is used to perform retrospective confirmatory testing for a p53 Y220C mutation in blood or solid tissue. If a patient does not have a p53 Y220C mutation detected at the pre‐screening step, the patient may be enrolled prospectively.
[0298] DNA is obtained from a cancer sample of a patient. The DNA is sequenced using NGS to determine the entire p53 coding region, including TP53 exons, introns, and splice sites. Dysfunctional p53 is inferred from the identification of substitutions, indels, frameshift mutations, splice site mutation, insertions or deletions, copy number variants, large deletions, or polymorphisms. Minimum tumorAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 content is 20%. Average read depth is about 750 reads / amplicon. The lower limit of detection is 5% mutant allele at an average read depth of >450 reads per amplicon. When the average read depth is <450 reads per amplicon, the limit of detection is 15% mutant allele.
[0299] Detection of TP53 gene copy number is based on the number of TP53 amplicon reads from a tumor compared with the average number reads across 14 normal DNA samples. Limits of the assay: the loss of one or more alleles is determined if tumor content is >60% (99% sensitivity); the loss of two alleles is determined if tumor sample content is >30% (99% sensitivity). More than 10% of tumors with wild-type TP53 have a copy number less than 0.5 (<0.5).
[0300] A patient with a confirmed Y220C mutation is given a regimen comprising a therapeutically- effective amount of a compound of the disclosure or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof. EXAMPLE 2: Phase 1 clinical trial for patients with advanced solid tumor harboring a p53 Y220C mutation.
[0301] Compound 1 (4-((3-(4-(((3S,4R)-3-fluoro-1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)amino)-1-(2,2,2- trifluoroethyl)-1H-indol-2-yl)prop-2-yn-1-yl)amino)-3-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide) is a selective p53 reactivator that stabilizes the p53 Y220C mutant protein. The single amino acid change creates a small crevice in the p53 protein, making the protein thermally unstable at physiological temperatures and unable to interact effectively with DNA to activate transcription of target genes. By selectively binding the crevice, Compound 1 stabilizes the mutant protein structure in the wild type (WT) conformation, thereby restoring the function of the mutant p53.
[0302] Compound 1 was supplied as 50, 150, and 500 mg tablets. Study drug was provided in appropriately labeled bottles. Patients received respective supplies of study drug with dosing instructions based on the prescribed dose. Compound 1 was administered orally on 21-day continuous dosing cycles. The initial dosing schedule was once daily but was adjusted as needed to a more or less frequent schedule during the course of the study. When administered, all Compound 1 doses were taken orally at approximately the same time each morning with food restricted to 2 hours prior to, and one hour after dosing. Whenever possible, all doses of Compound 1 were taken with approximately 240 mL of water. Patients continued to receive Compound 1 for as long as clinical benefits are demonstrated or until disease progression or other treatment discontinuation criteria were met.
[0303] The study selectively enrolled advanced cancer patients with tumors harboring a p53 Y220C mutation confirmed (either historically or prospectively) prior to a patient signing the main study informed consent. Patients had demonstrated solid malignancy with a p53 Y220C mutation identified by a molecular test performed by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certified lab. The p53 Y220C mutation was derived from the tumor, and was not a result of suspected clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).
[0304] CHIP is a common age-related phenomenon in which hematopoietic stem cells or other early blood cell progenitors contribute to the formation of a genetically distinct subpopulation of blood cells. CHIP can account for up to 25% to 40% of TP53 variants detected in saliva and blood during germline testing and can require additional confirmatory testing. Among TP53 mutations, Y220C is one of theAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 most commonly observed in CHIP. A liquid assay detects p53 Y220C that is derived from CHIP rather than tumor if the assay does not assess for CHIP.
[0305] p53 Y220C Testing: Eligible patients had a blood sample collected during screening for retrospective germline sequencing to determine the presence of a p53 Y220C mutation using a molecular test. Germline results were not an entry requirement for the study, and all patients began treatment with Compound 1 prior to results being available. Patients with a positive or indeterminate germline test were offered genetic counseling and additional confirmatory testing using tissue from a skin biopsy. Germline testing was exploratory and provided the basis for understanding whether a germline p53 Y220C mutation increases a patient’s sensitivity to Compound 1 toxicities due to systemic reactivation of p53. All patients were monitored closely for toxicities by standard safety assessments during frequent clinic visits. If toxicities were observed, appropriate action was taken including interruption and / or discontinuation of treatment.
[0306] Acceptable patient identification assays included: 1) a solid tissue assay conducted in a CLIA certified laboratory or 2) a ctDNA assay that includes a matched normal buffy coat sample conducted in a CLIA certified laboratory. Patients who had an identified p53 Y220C mutation in tumor were eligible for screening. Patients with a p53 Y220C mutations identified by a different assay (e.g., confirmed via a p53 Y220C Identification form) required a prescreening step. Patients were identified using a Resolution ctDX Lung™ blood-based test or a FoundationOne® CDx tissue test to prospectively confirm the presence of a p53 Y220C mutation. The Resolution ctDX Lung™ test included sequencing of both the plasma and the matched normal buffy coat layer to determine whether the p53 Y220C mutation originated from the tumor. The tissue-based CTA based on FoundationOne®CDx test used a fresh biopsy or archival tissue. The decision to perform a prescreening biopsy was based on the patient providing prescreening written informed consent and on the Investigator assessing the procedure to be in line with standard of care (i.e., of low risk and the tumor of sufficient size to be feasible to perform). After provision of informed consent for the main study, patients had a blood sample collected during screening for retrospective testing to confirm the presence of a p53 Y220C mutation using the Resolution ctDX Lung™ test. Patients who had available archival tumor tissue had tissue sent for retrospective confirmatory testing with the CTA based on FoundationOne®CDx test. If archival tumor tissue was not available, a fresh tumor biopsy was required for the retrospective confirmatory testing, if a biopsy procedure was in line with standard of care (i.e., of low risk and the tumor is of sufficient size to be biopsied). Tissue biopsies and / or archival tumor tissue collected during prescreening were used if available in place of samples for retrospective confirmatory testing.
[0307] To explore whether the presence of additional p53 mutations or non-p53 mutations are associated with clinical outcome, the pre-treatment specimen was analyzed by the 324-gene panel included in the CTA based on FoundationOne® CDx molecular test. Additional genomic analysis included loss of heterozygosity (LOH), somatic-germline zygosity (SGZ), microsatellite instability (MSI), and tumor mutational burden (TMB).Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0308] The Resolution ctDX LungTMtest contains a large tumor gene panel, including p53. In addition to the use of the Resolution ctDX LungTMtest for confirmatory p5 Y220C testing, the test was also used to explore the potential relationship of additional p5 (and non-p53) mutations and response to treatment with Compound 1. In addition, blood was collected during Compound 1 treatment and analyzed by the Resolution ctDX LungTMtest to explore whether circulating p53 Y220C levels can be used as a surrogate biomarker of efficacy or disease progression. The ctDNA analysis also explored whether emerging p53 (and non-p53) mutations altered the response to treatment with Compound 1.
[0309] Patients with advanced solid tumors harboring p53 Y220C mutations were enrolled in a phase 1 clinical trial for administration of Compound 1. The patients were 12 years of older in age, and had locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors harboring a p53 Y220C mutation. Up to 60 patients were enrolled in Phase 1 to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to identify a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The primary objective of the study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), select a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of compound 1.
[0310] Endpoints for the primary objectives included incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), and changes between baseline and post-baseline laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms (ECG), vital signs, and physical exams. Toxicities were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0. The secondary objectives were to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Compound 1 when administered orally; describe the concentration of Compound 1 when administered orally; and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of Compound 1 using tumor response criteria. Secondary endpoints were evaluated using plasma PK parameters including but not limited to: maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), time of maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax), area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last quantifiable concentration or in one dosing interval (AUC0-T, AUCtau), trough observed concentrations (Ctrough / Ctau); Compound 1 concentration; and overall response rates (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]; ORR) and Time to response (CR + PR; TTR), Duration of response (DoR), Disease control rate (CR + PR + stable disease [SD]; DCR) at 18 weeks, Progression- free survival (PFS) as determined by RECIST v1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR), Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) modified RECIST v1.1 as assessed by BICR. A partial response was a response with at least a 30% reduction in tumor size. TTR is defined as the time from the initiation of study treatment to the first documentation of response (CR + PR), which is subsequently confirmed. DoR is defined as the time from documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR, whichever occurs first) to the first occurrence of radiographic disease progression or death from any cause. Confirmation of CR or PR is required at ≥ 4 weeks; however, the date of documented objective tumor response is based on the date the criteria were met prior to the confirmation. DCR is defined as the percentage of patients with a complete or partial response or stable disease (CR + PR + SD) at 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks if the minimum duration of SD is 6 weeks (± 1 week) from drug initiation. PFS is defined as the time from theAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 initiation of study treatment to the first occurrence of radiographic disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
[0311] Exploratory endpoints included evaluating the effects of Compound 1 on various pharmacodynamic (PDc) markers of Compound 1 activity in blood and / or tumor tissue; exploring exposure-response relationships between Compound 1 plasma exposure and safety, PDc markers, and preliminary efficacy of Compound 1; and exploring PK metabolites of Compound 1 in plasma. Exploratory endpoints included circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) (e.g., Y220C, other p53 mutations, non- p53 mutations), p53 target gene and protein expression (e.g., total p53, p21, macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 [MIC-1], and various markers of immune cell activation) in patients’ blood, circulating tumor cells (CTC), and tumor samples collected before and during Compound 1 treatment; and presence or concentrations of additional pharmacokinetic metabolites.
[0312] Enrollment in Phase 1 was restricted to advanced solid tumor patients whose cancers had a p53 Y220C mutation identified by NGS. Phase 1 included an accelerated titration design in the initial dose cohorts, followed by a modified toxicity probability interval (mTPI) design in subsequent dose cohorts. The approach minimized the number of patients treated at potentially sub-therapeutic dose levels. Adolescent patients, 12 to 17 years of age and ≥ 40 kg, were eligible to enroll in the mTPI portion of Phase 1 upon SRC approval. The safety data and available PK data were reviewed by the SRC prior to enrollment of the adolescent patient.
[0313] The dose levels for Phase 1 are summarized in TABLE 3. The starting dose of Compound 1 was 150 mg once daily (QD). If the first patient did not tolerate 150 mg, then the patient was offered the opportunity to reduce dosage to 100 mg after recovery if dose modification criteria were met. The maximum permitted dose of Compound 1 was 5,000 mg daily due to the presence of methanol as a residual solvent in the drug product. The maximum permitted dose was within permissible daily exposure limits set by ICH Q3C guidance for Class 2 solvents such as methanol. Based on allometric scaling of data from nonclinical studies, pharmacological activity in humans was projected to be observed starting at a Compound 1 dose level of approximately 570 mg. Accordingly, the maximum allowable dose of 5,000 mg of Compound 1 was well above the projected efficacious dose of Compound 1. FIG.1 illustrates the design of phase 1 and phase 2 studies of administering Compound 1 in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a p53 Y220C mutation (BICR: blinded independent central review; BID: twice daily; CTC: circulating tumor cells; ctDNA: circulating tumor DNA; DCR: disease control rate; DoR: duration of response; MTD: maximum tolerated dose; mTPI: modified toxicity probability interval design; ORR: objective response rate by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors)1.1; OS, overall survival; PFS: progression-free survival; PK: pharmacokinetics; QD: once daily; RP2D: recommended Phase 2 dose; TTR: time-to-response). OS is defined as the time from the initiation of study treatment to death from any cause. For those patients who do not die before the end of the study or were lost to follow-up, OS is censored on the last day the patient was known to be alive or at the data cut-off date, whichever occurs first.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 TABLE 3
[0314] Tumor molecular profiling for KRAS status and treatment efficacy: Molecular profiling was performed on tumors from phase 1 patients to assess the impact of KRAS mutation status on response. KRAS mutations were defined as single nucleotide variants (SNV). The TP53 Y220C / KRAS wild-type (WT) efficacy evaluable analysis set included patients with measurable disease (without KRAS SNV) at baseline with ≥1 post-baseline tumor assessment within the efficacious dose range.
[0315] 67 patients were treated in the efficacious dose range (1150 mg QD to 1500 mg BID). Of patients in the efficacious dose range, the median age was 63 (range 32–84) years, 61% were female, 76% were white, 67% had an ECOG performance status of 1 and the median number of prior lines of systemic therapy was 3 (range 1–9) (TABLE 4). TABLE 4Attorney Docket No.44727-736601*Includes sarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma, esophageal cancer, gastro-esophageal cancer, germ cell tumor, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma, small intestine cancer, urothelial cancer. ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; SNV, single nucleotide variant.
[0316] Accelerated Titration: To minimize the number of patients treated at potentially subtherapeutic dose levels, the initial portion of Phase 1 followed an accelerated titration design whereby each cohort includes a minimum of 1 and no more than 2 patients. During the accelerated titration portion of Phase 1, at least one patient had completed Cycle 1 (C1) and had been assessed for safety and DLT for at least 3 weeks (including C2D1 pre-dose assessments) before enrollment of the next cohort began. A second patient was eligible to be enrolled within the same cohort if the patient could begin treatment within 2 weeks of the first patient’s treatment initiation within the same cohort. A sentinel approach was employed in Cohort 1, whereby the first patient must have completed at least one week of treatment and have reported safety assessments on C1D8 before a second Cohort 1 patient began treatment.
[0317] If a second patient was treated in any dose cohort, the safety of both patients was fully assessed before a subsequent cohort is opened. The accelerated titration portion continued until a ≥ Grade 2 drug- related toxicity was observed in ≥ 1 patient during the 21-day DLT observation period (C1). Once a ≥ Grade 2 drug-related toxicity was observed, the accelerated titration portion ended, and the mTPI portion began at a dose level no higher than the level where the ≥ Grade 2 toxicity was observed. Data from the accelerated titration portion of the study was included in dose escalation decisions associated with the mTPI design if the dose level was the same.
[0318] If preliminary efficacy was observed during the accelerated titration portion of the study in the absence of ≥ Grade 2 drug-related toxicity during the 21-day DLT observation period (C1), the study transitioned to the mTPI portion of the study starting with the next highest dose cohort to gather additional safety, PK, PDc and preliminary efficacy data in subsequent cohorts.
[0319] mTPI: The mTPI is a rule-based method using Bayesian modeling to define dosing decisions. The mTPI portion of Phase 1 guides the selection of dose levels until an MTD is determined based on the rules of the mTPI, the dose escalation portion of the study is stopped, or the maximum allowable dose of Compound 1 is reached. If ≥ Grade 2 drug-related toxicity was observed during the accelerated titration phase, the first dose cohort of the mTPI portion employed a dose that was no higher than was the highest dose cohort employed during the accelerated titration phase. Initially, each mTPI dose cohort enrolled 3 to 4 patients. A fourth patient was enrolled in a cohort if the patient could begin treatment within 2 weeks of the third patient starting treatment. To establish a dose level as safe and tolerable, a minimum of 3 patients treated at that dose level were required to have completed the 21-day DLT period (C1), as well asAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 pre- dose assessments on C2D1. If a fourth patient was treated in any dose cohort, the safety of all 4 patients was fully assessed before a future dosing decision is made.
[0320] During the mTPI period, prespecified rules associated with dose decisions based on statistical modeling using all safety data guides selection of dose levels to be tested. Dosing decisions (i.e., escalation, de-escalation or stay) are based on the observed toxicity outcomes and a predefined set of operating characteristics. In addition, PK and PDc data are reviewed, when available, to help inform dose selection decisions. At the end of Phase 1, the MTD is estimated as the highest dose with an estimated toxicity less than or equal to the target toxicity equivalence interval (e.g., ≤ 35%) among the tested doses. The mTPI design is eligible to be stopped and the MTD determined if a minimum of 9 patients are enrolled and evaluated at a given dose cohort and the mTPI decision is “stay.” A maximum number of 12 patients are enrolled in a single dose cohort. During the mTPI period, if the current cohort under evaluation is filled and another patient is identified who might be eligible for the study, the potential patient undergoes screening to be enrolled in the next lowest dose cohort, provided enrollment in the lower dose cohort has not exceeded 12 patients, and that any lower dose cohort has shown preliminary evidence of PDc activity and / or preliminary efficacy.
[0321] Any DLTs experienced by patients enrolled in a previously cleared cohort are not included in subsequent dose escalation decisions or in the definition of MTD. However, data from the patients are reviewed and are taken into consideration for assessments of safety and tolerability and in the selection of the RP2D. Dosing may also be stopped prior to establishing the MTD if safety concerns emerge, or if the clinical and PDc data indicate that an optimal biologically active dose has been reached, or if no further increase in exposure is likely to be achieved with further increase in dose.
[0322] Serial blood samples for PK assessments were collected from all patients, including adolescents. Serial blood samples from all patients were also collected for PDc assessment of response to Compound 1. Pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies for PDc assessment were optional. The relationship between plasma Compound 1 concentrations and pharmacodynamic biomarkers of response were explored. When the MTD was established, this cohort was expanded up to 12 patients. At least one additional cohort at a total daily dose below the MTD and considered to be active were expanded up to 12 patients. These expanded cohorts provided additional information about the relationship between dose, safety / tolerability, and efficacy to inform the selection of RP2D. Data from Phase 1 are reviewed to assess the benefit-risk for each dose level when selecting RP2D. The RP2D is determined as the dose resulting in the best therapeutic window for Compound 1 based on the review of all available safety, PK, PDc, and preliminary efficacy data. The RP2D can be the same as the MTD or below the MTD.
[0323] Intrapatient dose escalation: During Phase 1, intrapatient dose escalation was permitted if a patient tolerated Compound 1 well (i.e., has not experienced any drug-related ≥ Grade 2 adverse events) and was on treatment for at least 2 cycles. A patient’s dose was increased to a dose that has been established as safe and tolerable. Whenever a patient underwent dose escalation, the patient was required to have weekly safety assessments at the new dose level during the first 2 cycles as outlined for Cycles 1 and 2.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0324] Phase 1 dose escalation: Phase 1 employed an accelerated titration design in the initial dose escalation cohorts until a ≥ Grade 2 drug-related toxicity occurred. In subsequent dose escalation cohorts, an mTPI design is employed, starting at a dose level no higher than that at which the Grade 2 toxicity occurred. The mTPI design described above is used to determine the MTD. The mTPI design employs a simple beta-binomial hierarchical model where decision rules are based on calculating the unit probability mass (UPM) of 3 intervals corresponding to underdosing, proper dosing, and overdosing in terms of toxicity. The 3 dosing intervals were defined by an equivalence interval that reflects uncertainty around the true target toxicity, and were associated with 3 different dose level decisions. The underdosing interval corresponded to a dose escalation, overdosing corresponded to a dose de-escalation, and proper dosing corresponded to staying at the current dose. After each cohort of patients, the mTPI design calculated the UPMs for the 3 dosing intervals, and the interval with the largest UPM defined the corresponding dose-finding decision. The dose escalation portion of the study stops when either the lowest dose is above MTD or a prespecified maximum sample size is reached. Up to 60 patients are included in the mTPI portion of Phase 1, with target DLT rate of 30%, an equivalence interval of ± 5%, and cohort size of 3 or 4. Due to the rarity of the p53 Y220C mutation, the mTPI design is eligible to be stopped and an MTD selected if the mTPI design rules call for more than 9 patients to be enrolled at a single dose.
[0325] Compound 1 concentration data were summarized by dose level and Study Day using nominal time points. Individual and mean concentrations versus nominal time plots were presented by dose level. Pharmacokinetic parameter values were derived by non-compartmental methods by a validated pharmacokinetic analysis program. Actual times were used for all formal analyses. PK parameters weresummarized by dose level. Individualvalues were listed for each PK parameter (e.g., Cmax, Tmax,AUC0-T, AUCtau, Ctrough / Ctau,accumulation ratios) by dose level, and the following (non-model- based) descriptive statistics were provided: N (number of patients with non-missing data), arithmetic mean, standard deviation, arithmetic percent coefficient of variation (CV) (calculated as 100 x standard deviation / arithmetic mean), median, minimum, maximum, geometric mean, and geometric percent CV (calculated as: 100 x sqrt(exp(s2) - 1), where s2is the observed variance on the natural log-scale).
[0326] The operating characteristics associated with the mTPI design under varying maximum sample sizes are evaluated when (i) all dose levels have true toxicity rates equal to 10%; and (ii) dose levels have monotonically increasing true toxicity rates. Operating characteristics of the mTPI design are evaluated based on the mTPI portion of the study having 5 dose levels.
[0327] Most frequent treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) (>20%) were nausea, vomiting, and increased blood creatinine. Compound 1 administered with food led to improvement in gastrointestinal toxicities (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), with similar safety profiles observed across the efficacious range. A 3% rate of drug discontinuation due to a TRAE was observed. TABLE 5 summarizes the incidence of TRAEs in patients administered 1150 mg QD to 1500 mg BID Compound 1.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 TABLE 5†Includes five additional grade 3 treatment-related adverse events: neutrophil count decreased, acute kidney injury, pancreatitis, pneumonitis, and rash erythematous.

[0328] Compound 1 demonstrated dose-proportionality and linear PK from 150 mg to 2500 mg QD at steady state (FIGURE 2). FIGURE 2 depicts day 15 (steady state) exposures of Compound 1. The median half-life of Compound 1 was 19 hours at steady state (day 15) across doses (AUC, area under the curve; SD, standard deviation).
[0329] Clinical efficacy was achieved in heavily pre-treated patients across multiple tumor types. Within safety population (N=67), 51 patients had measurable disease at baseline and a post baseline tumor assessment. Of those patients: 38 patients were included in the TP53 Y220C / KRAS WT efficacy evaluable population, and 13 patients had tumors harboring KRAS mutations. Among patients with measurable disease included in the efficacy evaluable population (N=51), tumor shrinkage was observed across multiple tumor types, including patients whose tumor was KRAS wild-type (FIGURE 3).Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0330] FIGURE 3 includes patients with measurable disease at baseline and ≥1 post-baseline assessment.

BID, twice daily; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; QD, once daily; SD, stable disease; WT, wildtype.
[0331] Of patients with a TP53 Y220C mutation and KRAS WT disease, a total of 13 confirmed partial responses (PRs) (overall response rate [ORR] = 34%) were observed across multiple tumor types, including ovarian, breast, small-cell lung, and endometrial cancers (TABLE 6). TABLE 6*All partial responses were confirmed. Only tumor types that had at least one responder were included in the analysis of overall responses across tumor types. KRAS WT efficacy evaluable: All treated patients with measurable disease at baseline, KRAS WT defined as no KRAS SNVs, and ≥1 post-baseline assessment. BID, twice daily; ORR, objective response rate; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; QD, once daily; SD, stable disease; SNV, single nucleotide variant; WT, wild-type.
[0332] At 2000 mg QD, the ORR was 38% in patients with TP53 Y220C and KRAS WT tumors.
[0333] In patients with a KRAS mutation, clinical activity was observed but there were no confirmed responses. Clinical activity or clinical efficacy is activity found at various trial endpoints or tumor response criteria , including ORR, time to response (TTR), duration of response (DoR), disease control rate (DCR) at 6, 12, 18, and 24 weeks, and progression-free survival (PFS) per BICR and overall survival (OS).
[0334] Among all responders, median time to response and median duration of response were 1.5 months and 7 months, respectively (FIGURE 4). FIGURE 4 summarizes target lesion reduction across tumor types (1150 mg QD to 1500 mg BID) in the TP53 Y220C / KRAS WT efficacy evaluable population, and includes all patients with measurable disease at baseline, KRAS WT and ≥ 1 post-baseline assessment (n=38). “Other” tumor types included 1 patient with germ cell tumor, 2 patients with sarcoma, 1 patient with urothelial cancer and 1 patient with esophageal cancer.
[0335] Among the 51 patients treated with Compound 1 in the efficacious dose range and who were TP53 Y220C / KRAS WT, 40 patients had a ctDNA TP53 Y220C variant allele frequency (VAF) available at baseline (FIGURE 5).

In addition, all patients experiencing a PR had a reduction in TP53 Y220C VAF. Case study.
[0336] A 51-year-old woman presented with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The patient had previously undergone neoadjuvant therapy (carboplatin, paclitaxel and pembrolizumab followed by cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and pembrolizumab), bilateral mastectomy followed by pembrolizumab maintenance, radiotherapy, and breast reconstruction, and treatment with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin for disease recurrence. Progressive disease was observed in axilla with extensive skin lesions on adjacent breast and arm, limiting mobility. TP53 Y220C was detected by next-generation sequencing. Compound 12000 mg QD was started. Rapid, visible reduction in arm swelling and improved mobility of arm and fingers was observed within the first week. PR was observed at 6 weeks (41% reduction in axilla lesion), and confirmed at 12 weeks and ongoing. FIGURE 6 provides patient images of triple negative breast cancer at baseline and post-cycle 3 of treatment with Compound 1. Conclusions.
[0337] Compound 1 demonstrated a favorable safety profile in the efficacious dose range, with improvement in gastrointestinal adverse events when Compound 1 was taken with food. Single agent clinical efficacy was achieved in heavily pre-treated patients across multiple tumor types. EXAMPLE 3: Compound 1 Activity in Ovarian Cancer
[0338] In a 22 patient ovarian cancer subset of individuals treated in the phase 1 clinical trial detailed in EXAMPLE 3, preliminary efficacy (ORR) per investigator-assessed RECIST v1.1 and serum CA-125 response (defined as >50% decrease at 2 separate timepoints, 4 weeks apart) were analyzed. Safety across tumor types was also evaluated within the efficacious dose range. This subgroup analysis investigated the efficacy of Compound 1 in patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated across the efficacious dose range (1150 mg daily to 1500 mg twice daily).
[0339] The median age of patients with ovarian cancer (N=22) was 66 years (range 49 – 81 years). At baseline, 20 patients had high-grade serous ovarian cancer and two had endometrioid cancer; two had a BRCA2 mutation and 20 lacked a BRCA1 / 2 mutation; six were homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) positive, 11 were HRD negative and five had unknown HRD status. All were KRAS WT. The median number of prior lines of systemic therapy was four (range 1 – 9). At study entry, 19 patients were platinum resistant, two were platinum refractory, and one was platinum sensitive. Other patient demographics and disease characteristics are summarized in TABLE 7.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 TABLE 7*Patients with disease progressing within 6 months of platinum-based chemotherapy. **Patients with disease progressing during platinum-based therapy or within 4 weeks after last dose.†Defined as no KRAS single-nucleotide variant.

[0340] Results showed that of the 15 patients with measurable disease at baseline and ≥1 post-baseline tumor assessment (efficacy evaluable population), seven patients achieved a confirmed partial response (PR), seven had stable disease (SD), and one had progressive disease. FIG.7 is a chart summarizing best percent change in sum of tumor target lesions among the 15 patients in the ovarian subgroup with measurable disease. In FIG. 7, * denotes a patient who experienced an initial, unconfirmed, partial response that was not subsequently confirmed. NE, not evaluable; ORR, overall response rate; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease.
[0341] The median duration of response was seven months. Of 15 patients with measurable serum CA- 125 at baseline, six had a CA-125 response. Among these, five patients achieved radiographic PR and one had SD. FIG.8 is a chart summarizing the best percent change in CA-125 levels of the 15 patients in the ovarian subgroup with measurable CA-125 at baseline. *A CA-125 response is defined as a decrease in CA-125 by 50% from baseline at two separate timepoints, 4 weeks apart.
[0342] FIG.9 is a chart summarizing the time to response and duration of treatment for patients in the ovarian subgroup with measurable disease at baseline at ≥1 post baseline tumor assessment. The median duration of response was 7 months.
[0343] In the overall population of 67 patients assessed in the efficacious dose range (≥1150mg QD), including this subset of patients with ovarian cancer, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were mostly grade 1 and 2 and the most TRAEs were nausea (51%), vomiting (43%), and increased blood creatinine (27%). The frequency and severity of TRAEs were similar in the ovarian cancer population compared with the overall population. Compound 1 administration with food led to an improvement in nausea and vomiting. EXAMPLE 4: Compound 1 pharmacokinetics in fasted and fed subjects.
[0344] Compound 1 pharmacokinetics were analyzed in healthy subjects administered Compound 1 in a fasted state. A subject was considered fasted if the subject fasted overnight for at least 10 hours and water was permitted ad libitum except for 1 hour before and after drug administration. For fasted subjects, Compound 1 was administered with at least 8 ounces (240 mL) of water. Compound 1 pharmacokinetics were also analyzed in healthy subjects administered Compound 1 in a fed state. A subject was considered fed after consuming a high-fat meal 30 minutes prior to drug administration, and the meal was finished at least 5 minutes prior to drug administration. For both fasted and fed subjects, no food was permitted for at least 4 hours post-dose and water was permitted starting at 1 hour post-dose.
[0345] Subjects were healthy, non-smoking male and female Caucasian / non-Asian or Japanese participants 18 to 55 years of age with a BMI between 18.5 and 30.0 kg / m3. Part 1 Study Design (1000 mg Compound 1)
[0346] In Part 1 of the study, analysis was performed to compare 1000 mg Compound 1 in fed and fasted states. A dose of 1000 mg of Compound 1 consisted of two 500 mg tablets administered as a singleAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 oral dose. The analysis of Part 1 was performed at two separate time points in two different schemes (1A and 1B).
[0347] In scheme 1A, at period 1, Compound 1 analyzed in healthy subjects administered 1000 mg Compound 1 (n=3) in a fed state. Following a washout period of 7-9 days, these subjects were then administered 1000 mg Compound 1 in a fasted state.
[0348] Separately, in scheme 1B, at period 1, Compound 1 was analyzed in healthy subjects administered 1000 mg Compound 1 (n=3) in a fasted state. Following a washout period of 7-9 days, these subjects were then administered 1000 mg Compound 1 in a fed state. Part 2 Study Design (2000 mg Compound 1)
[0349] In Part 2 of the study, analysis was performed to compare 2000 mg Compound 1 in fed and fasted states and also to compared ethnicity of Caucasian / non-Asian subjects and Japanese subjects. A dose of 2000 mg of Compound 1 consisted of four 500 mg tablets administered as a single oral dose. A participant was classified as Japanese if (i) the participant was born in Japan, (ii) had parents and grandparents who were ethnically Japanese and were born in Japan, (iii) had lived less than 10 years outside of Japan, and (iv) underwent no significant change in lifestyle since leaving Japan.
[0350] For Caucasian / non-Asian subjects (n = 20) the analysis was performed at two separate time points in two different schemes (2A and 2B). During scheme 2A, at period 1, Compound 1 was analyzed in subjects administered 2000 mg Compound 1 (n=10) in a fed state. Following a washout period of 7-9 days, at period 2, these subjects were then administered 2000 mg Compound 1 in a fasted state. Separately in scheme 2B, at period 1, Compound 1 was analyzed in subjects administered 2000 mg Compound 1 (n=10) in a fasted state. Following a washout period of 7-9 days, at period 2, these subjects were then administered 2000 mg Compound 1 in a fed state.
[0351] For Japanese subjects (n=6), Compound 1 pharmacokinetics were analyzed in subjects administered 2000 mg Compound 1 in a fasted state. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analysis – Blood Samples
[0352] Blood for the analysis of study drug (Compound 1) and metabolite (M1) were collected.
[0353] Arithmetic mean (± SD) Compound 1 plasma concentration-time plots were grouped in Part 1 of the study by fed / fasted condition (linear and semi-logarithmic scales) (FIGs.10-11) and in Part 2 of the study by ethnicity and fed / fasted condition (FIGs.12-13).
[0354] Following administration of single oral doses of Compound 1 in Part 1 and Part 2, plasma concentrations of Compound 1 reached the maximum peak rapidly and declined roughly in a bi- exponential manner. Mean Compound 1 concentrations throughout the PK profile were higher for Caucasian / non-Asian participants under the fed condition compared to the fasted condition, for both the 1000 mg and 2000 mg doses (FIGs.10-13).
[0355] Mean Compound 1 plasma concentrations were higher in Japanese participants compared to Caucasian / non-Asian participants after administration of a 2000 mg dose in the fasted condition (FIGs. 12-13).Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0356] Various pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined for each subject. (Tables 11-14 and Figures 14-19). For example, terminal elimination rate constant (λz); percentage of AUC0-inf that is due to extrapolation beyond tlast (AUC%extrap); area under the concentration-time curve from pre-dose (time 0) to 24 hours (AUC0-24); area under the concentration-time curve from pre-dose (time 0) to 96 hours (AUC0-96); area under the concentration-time curve from pre-dose (time 0) extrapolated to infinity (AUC0- inf); area under the concentration-time curve from pre-dose (time 0) to tlast (AUC0-last); apparent total body clearance (CL / F); maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax); apparent terminal elimination half-life (t½); time prior to the first measurable (non-zero) concentration (tlag); time of last quantifiable concentration (tlast); time corresponding to the occurrence of Cmax (Tmax); and apparent volume of distribution (Vz / F).
[0357] Statistics of Compound 1 plasma PK parameters were evaluated by fed / fasted condition in Part 1 of the study (TABLE 8) and by ethnicity and fed / fasted condition in Part 2 of the study (TABLE 9). TABLE 8Attorney Docket No.44727-736601TABLE 9Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0358] For Part 1, after administration of a single 1000 mg oral dose of Compound 1, geometric mean (gCV%) Cmax values were 8690 ng / mL (19.0%) and 10600 ng / mL (18.2%) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively. Median Tmax values were 2.27 hours (range: 1.54 to 2.51 hours) and 3.25 hours (range: 1.51 to 5.01 hours) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively. Geometric mean (gCV%) AUC0-last values were 147000 h•ng / mL (23.4%) and 177000 h•ng / mL (32.6%) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively.
[0359] Geometric mean (gCV%) AUC0-inf values were 150000 h•ng / mL (23.2%) and 180000 h•ng / mL (33.4%) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively, with the percentage obtained through exploration (AUC%extrap) less than 5% for both fed and fasted conditions. Low variability was observed for the primary plasma PK parameters for both groups (lower than 23.4% and 33.4% for fasted and fed conditions, respectively). Plasma CL / F and Vz / F were slightly higher in the fasted condition.
[0360] For Part 2, after administration of a single 2000 mg oral dose of Compound 1, geometric mean (gCV%) Cmax values were 10300 ng / mL (52.2%) and 19000 ng / mL (20.7%) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively, for Caucasian / non-Asian participants. Median Tmax values were 2.52 hours (range: 1.03 to 5.94 hours) and 4.03 hours (range: 2.11 to 8.08 hours) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively, for Caucasian / non-Asian participants. Geometric mean (gCV%) AUC0-last values were 254000 h•ng / mL (53.1%) and 448000 h•ng / mL (26.4%) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively, for Caucasian / non-Asian participants.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0361] Geometric mean (gCV%) AUC0-inf values were 259000 h•ng / mL (55.5%) and 479000 h•ng / mL (29.5%) under fasted and fed conditions, respectively, for Caucasian / non-Asian participants with the percentage obtained through extrapolation (AUC%extrap) less than 17% for both fed and fasted conditions. Low to moderate variability was observed for the primary plasma PK parameters for both groups (lower than 55.5% and 29.5% for fasted and fed conditions, respectively). Plasma CL / F and VzF were slightly higher in the fasted condition.
[0362] For Caucasian / non-Asian participants, numerically Compound 1 maximum exposure (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) was higher under fed conditions (high-fat meal) compared to fasted conditions. In addition, a slight delay was observed in absorption with a prolonged Tmax under fed conditions (approximately 1.00 hours and 1.50 hours delay for Part 1 and Part 2, respectively).
[0363] For Japanese participants under fasted conditions, Compound 1 peak exposure (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were numerically higher in Japanese participants compared to Caucasian / non- Asian participants under fasted conditions. No formal statistical comparison was performed during the study. Analysis of Food Effect.
[0364] Statistical analysis of Compound 1 plasma PK parameters were evaluated for food effects for Part 1 (TABLE 10) and Part 2 (TABLE 11). The log-transformed PK parameters were analyzed using an analysis of variance model with treatment (fed / fasted condition) and period as fixed effects and participant as a random effect. TABLE 10TABLE 11Attorney Docket No.44727-736601
[0365] Data were also assessed in ladder plots of Compound 1 plasma PK parameters (AUC0-inf, AUC0-last, and Cmax) by fed / fasted condition (FIGs.14-16) and by ethnicity and fed / fasted condition (FIGs.17-19).
[0366] Compound 1 was rapidly absorbed following single oral doses administered under fasted conditions with median Tmax ranging from 1.54 to 2.51 hours (Part 1) and 1.03 to 5.94 hours (Part 2). Compound 1plasma concentrations declined in a bi-exponential manner.
[0367] For Part 1, the geometric mean ratios for fed / fasted conditions were 120.25% (90% CI: 100.89, 143.33), 120.21% (90% CI: 101.26, 142.69), and 121.75% (90% CI: 105.55, 140.44) for AUC0-inf, AUC0-last, and Cmax, respectively (TABLE 10). For Part 2, the geometric mean ratios for fed / fasted conditions were 178.74% (90% CI: 150.88, 211.74), 172.94% (90% CI: 148.55, 201.33), 183.82% (90% CI: 153.27, 220.46) for AUC0-inf, AUC0-last, and Cmax, respectively (TABLE 11).
[0368] For Part 1, the administration of a single dose of 1000 mg of Compound 1 with food (high-fat meal) increased the peak exposure (Cmax) of Compound 1 by approximately 22% compared to the fasted state, and the systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 20% in terms of both AUC0-inf and AUC0- last. A prolonged Tmax (3.25 hours vs 2.27 hours) was also observed under fed condition (high-fat meal).
[0369] For part 2, the administration of a single dose of 2000 mg of Compound 1 with food (high-fat meal) increased the peak exposure (Cmax) of Compound 1 by approximately 84% compared with the fasted state, and the systemic exposure (AUC) by 79% and 73% in terms of AUC0-infand AUC0-last, respectively. A prolonged Tmax (4.03 hours vs 2.52 hours) was also observed under fed condition (high- fat meal). Analysis for the Effect of Ethnicity
[0370] Between Caucasian / non-Asian and Japanese participants in Part 2 of the study, after administration of a single dose of 2000 mg of Compound 1 under fasted conditions, Compound 1 peak exposure (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) were found to be numerically higher in Japanese participants compared to Caucasian / non-Asian participants.
[0371] After administration of a single dose of 2000 mg of Compound 1 under fasted condition, Compound 1 peak exposure (geometric mean) Cmax was 10300 ng / mL for Caucasian / non-Asian participants and 14700 ng / mL for Japanese participants, occurring at a median time of 2.52 and 3.94 hours, respectively. Geometric mean AUC0-inf was 259000 and 338000 h•ng / mL and geometric mean AUC0-last was 254000 and 326000 h•ng / mL for Caucasian / non-Asian and Japanese participants, respectively.
[0372] In addition, a slight delay in absorption was observed for Japanese participants, with a prolonged Tmax compared to Caucasian / non-Asian participants (3.94 hours vs 2.52 hours). Plasma CL / F and Vz / F were numerically lower for Japanese participants compared to Caucasian / non-Asian participants.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analysis – Urine Samples
[0373] Urine for the analysis of study drug was also collected. Participants were asked to void at the end of each collection period to ensure complete collection of urine during each interval. The entire volume of urine voided during each interval was collected and recorded, and a small volume stored for analysis of study drug concentrations.
[0374] Various pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were determined for each subject. (Figures 20-22). For example, amount of drug excreted unchanged in urine (Ae), renal clearance (CLR), and fraction excreted in urine (fe).
[0375] Arithmetic mean (± SD) Compound 1 urinary cumulative excretion fraction (%) versus midpoint of collection interval timepoint grouped by fed / fasted condition was assessed in Part 1 of the study (FIG. 20), fed / fasted condition for Caucasian / non-Asian participants in Part 2 of the study (FIG.21), and fasted condition in Japanese participants in Part 2 of the study (FIG.22).
[0376] Following administration of single doses of Compound 1, less than 4% of the dose was excreted in urine as unchanged Compound 1 over a 96-hour interval, under fasted and fed conditions for all participants (Caucasian / non-Asian and Japanese participants).
[0377] Following administration of a single dose of 1000 mg Compound 1, 2.53% and 3.29% of the total dose administered was excreted in urine as unchanged Compound 1 over a 96-hour interval under fasted and fed conditions, respectively. Following administration of a single dose of 2000 mg Compound 1, 1.90% and 3.66% of the total dose administered was excreted in urine as Compound 1 over a 96-hour interval for Caucasian / non-Asian participants under fasted and fed conditions, respectively. In addition, 2.28% of the total dose administered was excreted in urine as unchanged Compound 1 over a 96-hour interval under fasted conditions for Japanese participants.
[0378] For Part 1, geometric mean of renal clearance (CLR) was 0.172 L / h and 0.186 L / h under fasted and fed conditions, respectively. In Part 2, geometric mean of CLR was 0.152 L / h and 0.164 L / h under fasted and fed conditions, respectively for Caucasian / non-Asian participants. On the other hand, geometric mean CLRwas 0.140 L / h under fasted conditions for Japanese participants. Pharmacokinetic Parameter Conclusions.
[0379] Compound 1 was rapidly absorbed following single oral doses administered under fasted conditions with median Tmaxranging from 1.54 to 2.51 hours (Part 1) to 1.03 to 5.94 hours (Part 2). Compound 1 plasma concentrations declined roughly in a bi-exponential manner.
[0380] For Caucasian / non-Asian participants, the administration of a single dose of 1000 mg of Compound 1 with food (high-fat meal) increased the peak exposure (Cmax) of Compound 1 by approximately 22% compared to the fasted state, and the systemic exposure (AUC) by approximately 20% in terms of both AUC0-inf and AUC0-last. A prolonged Tmax (3.25 hours vs 2.27 hours) was also observed under fed condition (high-fat meal). Administration of a single dose of 2000 mg Compound 1 with food (high-fat meal) increased the peak exposure of Compound 1 by approximately 84% compared with the fasted state, and the systemic exposure by 79% and 73% in terms of AUC0-inf and AUC0-last,Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 respectively. Furthermore, a prolonged Tmax (4.03 hours vs 2.52 hours) was also observed under fed conditions (high-fat meal).
[0381] After administration of a single dose of 2000 mg of Compound 1 under fasted condition, Compound 1 peak exposure (geometric mean) Cmax was 10300 ng / mL for Caucasian / non-Asian participants and 14700 ng / mL for Japanese participants, occurring at a median time of 2.52 and 3.94 hours, respectively. Geometric mean AUC0-inf was 259000 and 338000 h•ng / mL and geometric mean AUC0-last was 254000 and 326000 h•ng / mL for Caucasian / non-Asian and Japanese participants, respectively.
[0382] Following administration of single doses of Compound, less than 4% of the dose was excreted in urine as unchanged Compound 1 over a 96-hour interval, under fasted and fed conditions for all.
[0383] EXAMPLE 5: Effect of Food on the Pharmacokinetic and Safety Profile of Compound 1 in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Solid Tumors.
[0384] Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling and pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were conducted in healthy volunteers and patients with solid tumors in fasted and fed states to assess potential food effects on Compound 1 PK and safety.
[0385] Description of Methods & Materials: A PBPK model was developed using in vitro and clinical PK data to predict the effect of a standard meal on Compound 1 PKs in healthy volunteers and patients with solid tumors. The model was verified using PK data obtained following single and repeat doses of Compound 1 (150–2500 mg) in a study of patients with solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation; most predictions fell within 1.5-fold of observed. A healthy volunteer study was also conducted in healthy volunteers receiving a single 2000 mg dose of Compound 1 (n=22) PO with or without a high-fat meal, with PK samples collected over 96h post-dose. Patients in the study of patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220 mutation receiving Compound 1 (2000 mg, PO, once daily) starting in the fasted (n=13) or fed state (n=12; ≥100 kcal, 3 g fat) were also assessed, with PK samples collected over 24h post-dose on Day 1 and at steady state.
[0386] Data & Results: Using the PBPK model, 10 virtual trials of 10 healthy volunteers (50% / 50% male / female; aged 20–50 years) and 10 virtual trials of 10 patients with solid tumors (50% / 50% male / female; aged 30–75 years), receiving one dose of Compound 12000 mg PO under a fasted or fed state were generated. Food intake in healthy volunteers was predicted to increase area under the curve (AUC) from 0–infinity (AUC0-inf) by 45% and maximum concentration (Cmax) by 28%. For patients with solid tumors, food intake was predicted to increase AUC0-infby 47% and Cmaxby 35%. Exposure predictions for multiple oral doses showed similar results.

TABLE 12EXAMPLE 6: Analysis of Patient Subgroup with Advanced Breast Cancer
[0390] Patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with a TP53 Y220C mutation were eligible to receive Compound 1 orally on a continuous schedule across the efficacious dose range (1150 mg once daily [QD] to 1500 mg twice daily). Safety and preliminary efficacy (per investigator assessed RECIST v1.1) were assessed. Local next generation sequencing was used to determine TP53 Y220C, BRCA, PIK3CA and KRAS tumor mutation status.
[0391] Nine patients with breast cancer (HR+ / HER2- n=3; HR+ / HER2+ n=1; HR- / HER2+ n=1; TNBC n=3; unknown n=1) received Compound 1 in the Phase 1 trial. Median age was 53 years (range 32–65 years); ECOG performance score was 0 (n=3) or 1 (n=6). Two patients had a somatic BRCA2 mutation, no patient had a confirmed BRCA1 mutation (two patient had unknown BRCA1 status; one had unknown BRCA2 status), 2 patients had a PIK3CA mutation and all patients were KRAS WT. The median number of prior lines of systemic therapy was four (range: 2–9). Of the eight patients with measurable disease at baseline, three achieved a confirmed partial response (PR; overall response rate 37.5%), four had stable disease (SD), and one had progressive disease (PD) as best objective response. Reductions in target lesions were reported in all patients, with a maximum change in tumor volume from baseline ranging from -2.4% to -55.2%. One patient (51 years of age) with TNBC had a PR at 6 weeks (41% reduction in axilla lesion) confirmed at 12 weeks and ongoing; improvement in symptoms (arm swelling, mobility in arm and fingers) was seen in the first week of treatment. In the overall Phase 1 population (N=67 pts with solid tumors), the most frequent treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were nausea (51%), vomiting (43%), andAttorney Docket No.44727-736601 increased blood creatinine (27%) which were mostly grade 1 / 2. In the overall population, administration of Compound 1 with food led to an improvement in gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including nausea and vomiting.Attorney Docket No.44727-736601 EMBODIMENTS
