AI Technical Summary
Current HPK1 inhibitors only target the enzymatic activity of Hematopoietic Progenitor Kinase 1 (HPK1), failing to address elevated protein levels and potential resistance mechanisms, such as gene mutation or amplification, in HPK1-mediated diseases.
Development of bivalent compounds, specifically designed as proteolysis-targeted chimeras (PROTACs), that conjugate an HPK1 ligand to a degradation/disruption tag, recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases to induce selective degradation of HPK1, thereby addressing both enzymatic activity and protein levels.
These bivalent compounds effectively reduce HPK1 levels and activity, potentially overcoming resistance mechanisms, offering a more comprehensive therapeutic approach for HPK1-mediated diseases, including various cancers and immune-related conditions.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] This disclosure relates to bivalent compounds (e.g., heterobifunctional compounds) which degrade and / or disrupt Hematopoietic Progenitor Kinase 1 (HPK1), compositions comprising one or more of the bivalent compounds, and these bivalent compounds and compositions for use in methods of treatment of HPK1 -mediated diseases in a subject in need thereof. The disclosure also relates to methods for designing such bivalent compounds.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Unlike traditional enzyme inhibitors, which only inhibit the catalytic activity of the target enzyme, heterobifunctional compounds, also known as proteolysis-targeted chimeras (PROTACs), bind and induce degradation of the enzyme, thus eliminating potential scaffolding functions of the protein, in addition to inhibiting its enzymatic activity (Buckley and Crews, 2014). The HPK1 degraders disclosed herein offer a novel mechanism for treating HPK1-mediated diseases. Additionally, the ability of the degraders to target HPK1 for degradation, as opposed to inhibiting the catalytic activity of HPK1, is expected to overcome resistance, regardless of whether due to the drugs used in prior treatments or whether acquired resistance was caused by gene mutation, amplification or otherwise.
[0003] Lewis Thomas and Frank Macfarlane Burnet are the first to introduce the concept that the immune system constantly surveil the host for the emergence of nascent cancer cells and eliminate them before they become tumors (Burnet, 1970). While several lines of evidence suggested that our immune system could accomplish such task (Corthay, 2014), the most direct support of such concept comes from the development of immuno-oncological drugs that target the inhibitory molecules that hinder the anti-tumor immunity effort, allowing immune system to vigorously engage and eliminate previously difficult to treat cancers (Ribas and Wolchok, 2018). The success of the immune checkpoint inhibitor approach provides the roadmap as to how the exhausted immune systems could be provoked to re-engage the cancer cells. This theoretical framework spurs the search for novel immune checkpoint receptors that could serve as novel immune checkpoint targets.
[0004] Hematopoietic Progenitor Kinase 1 (HPK1, also known as MAP4K1), an intracellular negative regulator of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signal transduction pathways is a member of the KHS subfamily of Ste20 serine / threonine kinases (Hu et al., 1996; Kiefer et al., 1996). It is a multimodular-domain protein comprising proline-rich motifs and a C-terminal citron homology domain, in addition to its kinase domain. These additional domains suggest that HPK1 could perform functions other than its kinase function. HPK1 transcripts are detected in all embryonic tissues examined, but its expression profile shifts to a hematopoietic cell-restricted pattern post-partum at neonatal day 1 (Kiefer et al., 1996), leading to the speculation that HPK1 may perform a specialized function in hematopoietic cells. This cytosolic Ste20 kinase is recruited to the TCR complex (Ling et al., 2001) and its kinase activity is induced upon the engagement of the TCR (Liou et al., 2000). Overexpression of HPK1 suppresses TCR-induced activation of AP-1-dependent gene transcription in a kinase dependent manner, suggesting that the kinase activity of HPK1 is required to inhibit the Erk MAPK pathway (Liou et al., 2000). This blockage of the Erk MAPK pathway is thought to be the inhibitory mechanism that negatively regulates TCR-induced IL-2 gene transcription.

[0011] The invention is defined in the claims.
[0012] Any references in the description to methods of treatment are to be understood to refer to the respective compounds and compositions for use in those methods.
[0013] The present disclosure relates generally to bivalent compounds (e.g., bi-functional compounds) which degrade and / or disrupt HPK1 and to these bivalent compounds for use in methods of treatment of HPK1-mediated diseases (i.e., a disease which depends on HPK1; overexpresses HPK1; depends on HPK1 activity; or includes elevated levels of HPK1 activity relative to a wild-type tissue of the same species and tissue type). It is important to note, because the HPK1 degraders / disruptors have dual functions (enzyme inhibition plus protein degradation / disruption), the bivalent compounds of the present disclosure can be significantly more effective therapeutic agents than currently available HPK1 inhibitors, which inhibit the enzymatic activity of HPK1, but do not affect HPK1 protein levels. The present disclosure further provides methods for identifying HPK1 degraders / disruptors as described herein.
[0014] More specifically, the present disclosure provides a bivalent compound including a HPK1 ligand conjugated to a degradation / disruption tag.
[0015] The HPK1 degraders / disruptors of the present invention have the form "PI-linker-EL" , as shown below: wherein PI (protein of interest) comprises an HPK1 ligand (e.g., an HPK1 inhibitor) and EL (E3 ligase) comprises a degradation / disruption tag (e.g., E3 ligase ligand). The HPK1 ligands (PI ), degradation / disruption tags (EL ), and linkers (Linker ) of the present invention are illustrated below.HPK1 Ligands

[0048] Therapeutic use of HPK1 extends to include diseases and therapies that are amenable to treatment by stimulation / augmentation of immune response, including the prolongation of immune responses during vaccination for immunizable diseases such as influenza and coronaviruses, including Covid 19. Also, because HPK1 is expressed at high level in two other anatomical locations - brain and testes - the HPK1 degraders / disruptors should be able to treat or prevent diseases related to brain and testes that were caused by HPK1 or could be treated by HPK1 degraders / disruptors. These potential diseases include, but are not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, age-related dementia and infertility, regardless whether these possible diseases were caused by HPK1 or by other etiological causes.
[0049] Therapeutic use of HPK1 further extends to include therapies involving ex vivo treatment of immune cells, including, but not limited to, all T cell subsets, genetically engineered T cells, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophage, mast cells, granulocytes (include basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils), natural killer cells, NK T cells and B cells. Such cells would be therapeutically treated by HPK1 degraders and then re-introduced back to the patient being treated for conditions that would benefit from reduction in HPK1 expression. The sources of cells for such ex vivo treatment include, but are not limited to, the autologous bone marrow cells from the patient him / herself, or from the patient's frozen banked cord blood stem cells, peripheral blood or bone marrow stem cells from MHC-matched or MHC-mismatched donors.
[0050] Treating patients by administering specific immune cells that had been treated with HPK1 degraders offers many added advantages over in vivo use. By treating specific immune cells type with HPK1 degraders ex vivo, it is possible to specifically target the immune cell type that would receive the benefit of having the endogenous HPK1 level reduced by HPK1 degraders while sparing the HPK1 expression level in other immune cell types that are not involved in the disease condition.
[0051] This therapeutic approach would provide cell type-specific targeting of immune cells in a way that is not possible with the use of HPK1 degrader in the in vivo setting. Thus, the ex vivo approach would likely limit potential toxicity that may result from reduction of HPK1 level in immune cell types that do not benefit from a reduction in HPK1 levels.
[0052] Furthermore, by administering HPK1 degraders in the ex vivo cell setting, the risk of patients experiencing the toxicity or undesirable outcome that might occur should the HPK1 degraders were to be administered systemically would be eliminated.
[0053] It is known that HPK1 is also expressed in non-hematopoietically-derived tissues such as the brain and testes. Because of this tissue-specific expression pattern of HPK1, HPK1 degraders might be able to treat or prevent diseases related to the brain and testes that were caused by HPK1. These potential treatments include, but are not limited to, treatment of Alzheimer's disease, age-related dementia and infertility, irrespective to whether these possible diseases were caused by HPK1 or by other etiological causes.
[0054] The use of HPK1 expression status of the tumor as the biomarker would enable stratification of patients into appropriate therapeutic groups that would receive HPK1 degraders in vivo or ex vivo, based on HPK1 expression in the tumors.
[0055] Furthermore, using HPK1 degraders in an ex vivo setting offers additional advantages over gene-editing approaches such as CRISPR in that it allows therapeutic use of HPK1 degraders as a non-permanent treatment that allows a therapeutic regimen to be adjusted temporally through dosing levels and through alteration of the administration schedule.
[0056] In addition, HPK1 degraders could be used in settings whereby stimulation / augmentation of the immune response is required, or when the prolongation of immune responses is needed. Improving immune response to vaccination is one of the settings in which HPK1 degraders could be used therapeutically. HPK1 degraders could also be used to enhance the antigen presentation capability of dendritic cell-based cancer vaccines.
[0057] Other utilities of HPK1 degraders include treatment of dendritic cells with HPK1 degraders to increase resistance to maturation-induced apoptosis, thus increasing the yield of dendritic cell production.
[0058] In an embodiment, HPK1 degraders of the present invention may be employed in combination with treatments using checkpoint inhibitors, including, but not limited to anti-programmed cell death protein (anti-PD-1) and anti-programmed death ligand-1 (anti-PD-L1). Examples of anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 agents include monoclonal antibodies that target either PD-1 or PD-L1. Such antibodies include, but are not limited to pembrolizumab (Keytruda), nivolumab (Opdivo), and cemiplimab (Libtayo) (PD-1 inhibitors); and atezolizumab (Tecentriq), avelumab (Bavencio), and durvalumab (Imfinzi) (PD-L1 inhibitors). Use of such anti-PD1 and / or anti-PD-L1 agents in immunotherapy, particularly cancer immunotherapy, may be enhanced by concomitant therapy with HPK1 degraders of the present invention. Such combination therapy of anti-PD-1 agents with HPK1 degraders of the present invention is particularly useful in the treatment of melanoma, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, head and neck cancer, colon cancer and liver cancer. Such combination therapy of anti-PD-L1 agents with HPK1 degraders of the present invention are particularly useful in the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma, multiple myeloma, urothelial cancer and head and neck cancer. (Hernandez 2018).
[0059] Similar combination therapy may employ HPK1 degraders of the present invention with an anti-CTLA-4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) agent, such as the monoclonal antibody ilimumab, particularly for the treatment of melanoma, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, glioblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma large B cell lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, head and neck cancer, colon cancer and liver cancer.
[0060] In an embodiment, the HPK1 degraders of the present invention may be used in the treatment of tumor types having elevated expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). COX-2 elevation leads to over production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). PGE2 made by these tumors is known to inhibit the anti-tumor immune response. T cells lacking HPK1 are resistant to PGE2-mediated inhibition. (Alzabin 2010). Cancer types known to have high expression levels of COX-2 include, but not are not limited to colon cancer, lung cancer, sarcoma and breast cancer.

[0089] The HPK1 degraders / disruptors should be able to treat the above cancer type as stand alone agent or used as agent in combination with existing standard of treatment therapy and other FDA-approved cancer therapy.
[0090] Therapeutic uses of HPK1 include diseases and therapies that are amenable to treatment by stimulation / augmentation of immune response, including the prolongation of immune responses during vaccination for immunizable diseases. Also, because HPK1 is expressed at high level in two other anatomical locations - brain and testes - the HPK1 degraders / disruptors should be able to treat or prevent diseases related to brain and testes that were caused by HPK1 or could be treated by HPK1 degraders / disruptors. These potential diseases include, but is not limited to, Alzheimer's disease, age-related dementia and infertility, regardless whether these possible diseases were caused by HPK1 or by other etiological causes.
[0091] Successful strategies for selective degradation / disruption of the target protein induced by a bifunctional molecule include recruiting an E3 ubiquitin ligase and mimicking protein misfolding with a hydrophobic tag (Buckley and Crews, 2014). PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) are bivalent molecules with one moiety that binds an E3 ubiquitin ligase and another moiety that binds the protein target of interest (Buckley and Crews, 2014). The induced proximity leads to selective ubiquitination of the target followed by its degradation at the proteasome. Several types of high affinity small-molecule E3 ligase ligands have been identified / developed: They include (1) immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide and pomalidomide, which bind cereblon (CRBN or CRL4 CRBN< ), a component of a cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL) complex (Bondeson et al., 2015; Chamberlain et al., 2014; Fischer et al., 2014; Ito et al., 2010; Winter et al., 2015); (2) VHL-1, a hydroxyproline-containing ligand, which binds van Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL or CRL2 VHL< ), a component of another CRL complex (Bondeson et al., 2015; Buckley et al., 2012a; Buckley et al., 2012b; Galdeano et al., 2014; Zengerle et al., 2015); (3) compound 7,which selectively binds KEAPI, a component of a CRL3 complex (Davies et al., 2016); (4) AMG232, which selectively binds MDM2, a heterodimeric RING E3 ligase (Sun et al., 2014); and (5) LCL161, which selectively binds IAP, a homodimeric RING E3 ligase (Ohoka et al., 2017; Okuhira et al, 2011; Shibata et al., 2017). The degrader technology has been successfully applied to degradation of multiple targets (Bondeson et al., 2015; Buckley et al., 2015; Lai et al., 2016; Lu et al., 2015; Winter et al., 2015; Zengerle et al., 2015), but not to degradation of HPK1. In addition, a hydrophobic tagging approach, which utilizes a bulky and hydrophobic adamantyl group, has been developed to mimic protein misfolding, leading to the degradation of the target protein by proteasome (Buckley and Crews, 2014). This approach has also been successfully applied to selective degradation of the pseudokinase Her3 (Xie et al., 2014), but not to degradation of HPK1 proteins.
[0092] As discussed in the following examples, this disclosure provides specific examples of novel HPK1 degraders / disruptors, and examined the effect of exemplary degraders / disruptors on reducing HPK1 protein levels, inhibiting / disrupting HPK1 activity and increasing the TCR-induced IL-2 production by Jurkat T cells. The results indicated that these novel compounds can be beneficial in treating cancer. Exemplary type of cancers that could be prevented, or therapeutically treated by manipulation of HPK1 level by degraders / disruptors should include all solid and liquid cancers, including, but not limited to, cancers of the breast, respiratory tract, brain, reproductive organs, digestive tract, urinary tract, eye, liver, skin, head and neck, thyroid, parathyroid and their distant metastases. Examples of liquid cancers include lymphomas, sarcomas, and leukaemias. Listed below are the type of cancers that immunotherapy using HPK1 degraders / disruptors should be able to prevent or treat as mentioned above.
[0093] Current compounds targeting HPK1 generally focus on inhibition of its catalytic activity. In the present disclosure a different approach was taken: to develop compounds that directly and selectively target not only the catalytic function of HPK1, but also its protein level in cells. Strategies for inducing protein degradation include recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases, mimicking protein misfolding with hydrophobic tags, and inhibiting chaperones. For example, a thalidomide-JQ1 bivalent compound has been used to hijack the cereblon E3 ligase, inducing highly selective BET protein degradation in vitro and in vivo and resulting in a demonstrated delay in leukemia progression in mice (Winter et al., 2015). Similarly, BET protein degradation has also been induced via another E3 ligase, VHL (Zengerle et al., 2015). Partial degradation of the Her3 protein has been induced using an adamantane-modified compound (Xie et al., 2014). Such an approach, based on the use of bivalent molecules, permits more flexible regulation of protein levels in vitro and in vivo compared with techniques such as gene knockout or knockdown via RNA interference. Unlike gene knockout or knockdown, this chemical approach provides an opportunity to study dose and time dependency in a disease model by varying the concentrations and frequencies of administration of the relevant compound.
[0094] This disclosure includes all stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers and isotopes of the structures depicted and compounds named herein. This disclosure also includes compounds described herein, regardless of how they are prepared, e.g., synthetically, through biological process (e.g., metabolism or enzyme conversion), or a combination thereof.
[0095] This disclosure includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the structures depicted and compounds named herein.
[0096] One or more constituent atoms of the compounds presented herein can be replaced or substituted with isotopes of the atoms in natural or non-natural abundance. In some embodiments, the compound includes at least one deuterium atom. In some embodiments, the compound includes two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound includes 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, or 1-6 deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, all of the hydrogen atoms m a compound can be replaced or substituted by deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound includes at least one fluorine atom. In some embodiments, the compound includes two or more fluorine atoms. In some embodiments, the compound includes 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, or 1-6 fluorine atoms. In some embodiments, all of the hydrogen atoms in a compound can be replaced or substituted by fluorine atoms.Degraders
[0097] In some aspects, the present disclosure provides bivalent compounds, also referred to herein as degraders, comprising a HPK1 ligand (or targeting moiety) conjugated to a degradation tag. Linkage of the HPK1 ligand to the degradation tag can be direct, or indirect via a linker.
[0098] As used herein, the terms "protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (HPK1) ligand" or "HPK1 ligand" or "HPK1 targeting moiety" are to be construed broadly, and encompass a wide variety of molecules ranging from small molecules to large proteins that associate with or bind to HPK1. The HPK1 ligand or targeting moiety can be, for example, a small molecule compound (i.e., a molecule of molecular weight less than about 1.5 kilodaltons (kDa)), a peptide or polypeptide, nucleic acid or oligonucleotide, carbohydrate such as oligosaccharides, or an antibody or fragment thereof.
[0099] The HPK1 ligand or targeting moiety can be derived from a HPK1 inhibitor (e.g., sutent and analogs thereof), which is capable of interfering with the enzymatic activity of HPK1. As used herein, an "inhibitor" refers to an agent that restrains, retards, or otherwise causes inhibition of a physiological, chemical or enzymatic action or function. As used herein an inhibitor causes a decrease in enzyme activity of at least 5%. An inhibitor can also or alternatively refer to a drug, compound, or agent that prevents or reduces the expression, transcription, or translation of a gene or protein. An inhibitor can reduce or prevent the function of a protein, e.g., by binding to or activating / inactivating another protein or receptor.
[0100] As used herein, the term "degradation / disruption tag" refers to a compound, which associates with or binds to a ubiquitin ligase for recruitment of the corresponding ubiquitination machinery to HPK1 or induces HPK1 protein misfolding and subsequent degradation at the proteasome or loss of function.
[0101] In some aspects, the degradation / disruption tags of the present disclosure include, e.g., thalidomide, pomalidomide, lenalidomide, VHL-1, adamantane, 1-((4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl)sulfinyl)nonane, nutlin-3a, RG7112, RG7338, AMG232, AA-115, bestatin, MV-1, LCL161, and / or analogs thereof.
[0102] As used herein, a "linker" is a bond, molecule, or group of molecules that binds two separate entities to one another. Linkers can provide for optimal spacing of the two entities. The term "linker" in some aspects refers to any agent or molecule that bridges the HPK1 ligand to the degradation / disruption tag. One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that sites on the HPK1 ligand or the degradation / disruption tag, which are not necessary for the function of the degraders of the present disclosure, are ideal sites for attaching a linker, provided that the linker, once attached to the conjugate of the present disclosure, does not interfere with the function of the degrader, i.e., its ability to target HPK1 and its ability to recruit a ubiquitin ligase.
[0103] The length of the linker of the bivalent compound can be adjusted to minimize the molecular weight of the disruptors / degraders and avoid any potential clash of the HPK1 ligand or targeting moiety with either the ubiquitin ligase or the induction of HPK1 misfolding by the hydrophobic tag at the same time.
[0104] In some aspects, the degradation / disruption tags of the present disclosure include, for example, thalidomide, pomalidomide, lenalidomide, VHL-1, adamantane, 1-((4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl)sulfinyl)nonane, nutlin-3a, RG7112, RG7338, AMG 232, AA-115, bestatin, MV-1, LCL161, and analogs thereof. The degradation / disruption tags can be attached to any portion of the structure of a HPK1 ligand or targeting moiety (e.g., sutent) with linkers of different types and lengths in order to generate effective bivalent compounds. In particular, attaching VHL1, pomalidomide, or LCL161 to any portion of the molecule can recruit the E3 ligase to HPK1.
[0105] The bivalent compounds disclosed herein can increase the TCR-induced IL-2 production by Jurkat T cells.
[0106] Non-limiting examples of HPK1 disruptors / degraders (e.g., bivalent compounds) are shown in Table 1 (below). The left portion of each HPK1 disruptors / degrader compound as shown binds to HPK1 (as sutent (sunitinib) do), and the right portion of each compound recruits for the ubiquitination machinery to HPK1, which induces the poly-ubiquitination and degradation of HPK1 at the proteasome.
[0107] The present invention provides a bivalent compound including a HPK1 ligand conjugated to a degradation / disruption tag.
[0108] The HPK1 degraders / disruptors of the present invention have the form "PI-linker-EL", as shown below: wherein PI (protein of interest) comprises an HPK1 ligand (e.g., an HPK1 inhibitor) and EL (E3 ligase) comprises a degradation / disruption tag (e.g., E3 ligase ligand). HPK1 ligands (PI ), degradation / disruption tags (EL) , and linkers (Linker) of the present invention are illustrated below.HPK1 Ligands

Synthesis and Testing of Bivalent Compounds
[0115] The binding affinity of novel synthesized bivalent compounds (i.e., HPK1 degraders / disruptors) can be assessed using standard biophysical assays known in the art (e.g., isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC)). Cellular assays can then be used to assess the bivalent compound's ability to induce HPK1 degradation and inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Besides evaluating bivalent compound's -induced changes in the protein expression of HPK1, enzymatic activity can also be assessed. Assays suitable for use in any or all of these steps are known in the art, and include, e.g., Western blotting, quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, flow cytometry, enzymatic inhibition, ITC, SPR, cell growth inhibition and xenograft and PDX models. Suitable cell lines for use in any or all of these steps are known in the art and include, e.g., HPK1 - deficient Jurkat clone that had been created by CRISPR-mediated frameshift mutation that resulted in the loss of HPK1 expression in Jurkat T cells. Such line could serve as a platform for counter screening the lead HPK1 degraders / disruptors for non-HPK1-specific effects. By way of non-limiting example, detailed synthesis protocols are described in the Examples for specific exemplary HPK1 degraders / disruptors.
[0116] Pharmaceutically acceptable isotopic variations of the compounds disclosed herein are contemplated and can be synthesized using conventional methods known in the art or methods corresponding to those described in the Examples (substituting appropriate reagents with appropriate isotopic variations of those reagents). Specifically, an isotopic variation is a compound in which at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Useful isotopes are known in the art and include, for example, isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine. Exemplary isotopes thus include, e.g., 2< H, 3< H, 13< C, 14< C, 15< N, 17< O, 18< O, 32< P, 35< S, 18< F, and 36< Cl.
[0117] Isotopic variations (e.g., isotopic variations containing 2< H) can provide therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. In addition, certain isotopic variations (particularly those containing a radioactive isotope) can be used in drug or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium ( 3< H) and carbon-14 ( 14< C) are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.
[0118] Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of the compounds disclosed herein are contemplated. A solvate can be generated, e.g., by substituting a solvent used to crystallize a compound disclosed herein with an isotopic variation (e.g., D 2 O in place of H 2 O, d 6 -acetone in place of acetone, or d 6 -DMSO in place of DMSO).
[0119] Pharmaceutically acceptable fluorinated variations of the compounds disclosed herein are contemplated and can be synthesized using conventional methods known in the art or methods corresponding to those described in the Examples (substituting appropriate reagents with appropriate fluorinated variations of those reagents). Specifically, a fluorinated variation is a compound in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a fluoro atom. Fluorinated variations can provide therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirementsCharacterization of Exemplary HPK1 Degraders / Disruptors
[0120] Specific exemplary HPK1 degraders / disruptors were characterized using (Figures 1-14). HC58-38, HC58-75, HC58-76, HC58-78, HC90-50, and HC90-51 in particular were found to be especially effective in reducing HPK1 protein levels.Definition of Terms

[0156] The term "optionally substituted" means that the specified group may be either unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents as defined herein. It is to be understood that in the compounds of the present invention when a group is said to be "unsubstituted," or is "substituted" with fewer groups than would fill the valencies of all the atoms in the compound, the remaining valencies on such a group are filled by hydrogen. For example, if a C 6 aryl group, also called "phenyl" herein, is substituted with one additional substituent, one of ordinary skill in the art would understand that such a group has 4 open positions left on carbon atoms of the C 6 aryl ring (6 initial positions, minus one at which the remainder of the compound of the present invention is attached to and an additional substituent, remaining 4 positions open). In such cases, the remaining 4 carbon atoms are each bound to one hydrogen atom to fill their valencies. Similarly, if a C 6 aryl group in the present compounds is said to be "disubstituted," one of ordinary skill in the art would understand it to mean that the C 6 aryl has 3 carbon atoms remaining that are unsubstituted. Those three unsubstituted carbon atoms are each bound to one hydrogen atom to fill their valencies.
[0157] "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" includes both acid and base addition salts. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any one of the bivalent compounds described herein is intended to encompass any and all pharmaceutically suitable salt forms. Preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein are pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts.
[0158] "Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt" refers to those salts which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free bases, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable, and which are formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrofluoric acid, phosphorous acid, and the like. Also included are salts that are formed with organic acids such as aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, alkanedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and. aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. and include, for example, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Exemplary salts thus include sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, nitrates, phosphates, monohydrogenphosphates, dihydrogenphosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, trifluoroacetates, propionates, caprylates, isobutyrates, oxalates, malonates, succinate suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, mandelates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, phthalates, benzenesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, phenylacetates, citrates, lactates, malates, tartrates, methanesulfonates, and the like. Also contemplated are salts of amino acids, such as arginates, gluconates, and galacturonates (see, for example, Berge S.M. et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66:1-19 (1997)). Acid addition salts of basic compounds may be prepared by contacting the free base forms with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt according to methods and techniques with which a skilled artisan is familiar.
[0159] "Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt" refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable.

A blood test that measure the level of HPK1 in each of the immune cell sub-types, which could be achieved by intracellular staining by anti-HPK1 antibody and analyze by clinical FACS analysis. Such detection method could identify immune cell type possess aberrant level of HPK1 and may signify that such patient might be a good candidate for HPK1 degraders / disruptors-based therapy. This detection of aberrant expression level of HPK1 may be an early warning biomarker that may indicate which patient may respond well to their disease conditions if HPK1 degraders / disruptors were to used as stand alone or as part of combination therapy. Preferably, the disease (e.g., cancer) does not develop at all, i.e., no symptoms of the disease are detectable. However, it can also mean delaying or slowing of the development of one or more symptoms of the disease. Alternatively, or in addition, it can mean decreasing the severity of one or more subsequently developed symptoms.
[0211] Specific dosage and treatment regimens for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health status, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity and course of the disease, condition or symptoms, the patient's disposition to the disease, condition or symptoms, and the judgment of the treating physician.
[0212] An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations, applications or dosages. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic compound (i.e., an effective dosage) depends on the therapeutic compounds selected. Moreover, treatment of a subject with a therapeutically effective amount of the compounds or compositions described herein can include a single treatment or a series of treatments. For example, effective amounts can be administered at least once. The compositions can be administered one from one or more times per day to one or more times per week; including once every other day. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain factors can influence the dosage and timing required to effectively treat a subject, including but not limited to the severity of the disease or disorder, previous treatments, the general health or age of the subject, and other diseases present.
[0213] Following administration, the subject can be evaluated to detect, assess, or determine their level of disease. In some instances, treatment can continue until a change (e.g., reduction) in the level of disease in the subject is detected. Upon improvement of a patient's condition (e.g., a change (e.g., decrease) in the level of disease in the subject), a maintenance dose of a compound, or composition disclosed herein can be administered, if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, can be reduced, e.g., as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of disease symptoms.
[0214] The HPK1 degraders / disruptors disclosed herein include pure enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers, pure diastereoisomers, mixtures of diastereoisomers, diastereoisomeric racemates, mixtures of diastereoisomeric racemates and the meso-form and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvent complexes, morphological forms, or deuterated and fluoro derivatives thereof.EXAMPLES
