AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current therapies for KRAS-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are limited in effectively targeting the KRAS pathway, leading to poor prognosis, and existing treatments do not adequately modulate the tumor micro-environment to enhance immune system control of the tumor.

Method used

A combination therapy involving a compound like rigosertib, which modulates the RAS pathway by blocking the RAS cascade and promoting the expression of novel antigens on tumor surfaces, paired with a checkpoint inhibitor such as nivolumab or pembrolizumab to facilitate immune system recognition and control of tumors.

Benefits of technology

This combination therapy effectively down-regulates the RAS pathway, turning 'cold' tumors into 'hot' tumors, enhancing the immune system's ability to control tumor growth and improving treatment outcomes for KRAS-mutated NSCLC patients.

Description

METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING CANCERCROSS-REFERENCE

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 425,142, filed November 14, 2022, which is entirely incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND

[0002] A large subset of lung adenocarcinomas has a KRAS mutation as the predominant genetic driver. Tumors carrying a mutation in KRAS can have a worse prognosis than KRAS wild-type tumors. Thus, therapies that can target the KRAS pathway could be beneficial for patients with cancers having KRAS mutations.INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

[0003] All publications, patents, and patent applications mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent, or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] Disclosed herein is a method of treating a condition comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a) a therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of the formula:or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt or zwitterion thereof, wherein: each R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, Rlla, Rllb, R12, and R13is independently alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl, -C(O)RX, -C(O)ORX, -C(O)NRxRy, -ORX, -SRX, -NRxRy, -NRxC(O)Ry, -OC(O)RX, or -SiRxRyRz, each of which is independently substituted or unsubstituted; or hydrogen or halogen; and each Rx, Ry, and Rzis independently alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl, each of which is independently substituted or unsubstituted; or hydrogen or halogen, andb) a therapeutically-effective amount of a checkpoint inhibitor.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0005] FIG. 1 is a schematic of a dose escalation study of a compound disclosed herein.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0006] Ras is the most frequently mutated gene causing cancer. Approximately 40% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a mutation of RAS, most frequently KRAS. A mechanism of action for a compound disclosed herein, for example, rigosertib, is to down- modulate the mutated RAS pathway. This modulation of the RAS pathway can result in less production of ERK, a protein involved in cell proliferation. When ERK is overexpressed, ERK can provide a proliferative advantage to cells, thus leading to cancer. KRAS-mutated NSCLC can be managed with, for example, a checkpoint inhibitor.

[0007] Rigosertib ((E)-2-(5-((2,4,6-trimethoxystyrylsulfonyl)methyl)-2- methoxyphenylamino)acetic acid, (E)-2,4,6-trimethoxysteyryl-3-carboxymethylamino-4- methoxybenzyl sulfone, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt or zwitterion thereof) can block the RAS cascade and promote the expression of novel antigens on the tumor’s surface. This process can turn cold tumors that are not surrounded by host lymphocytes into hot tumors that are surrounded by host lymphocytes. This modulation of the tumor micro-environment (TME) in combination with the checkpoint blockade can facilitate the host immune system to contribute to tumor control. The host lymphocytes can contribute to tumor control when exposed to a checkpoint inhibitor.

[0008] The present disclosure provides a combination of a compound disclosed herein, for example, rigosertib, with a checkpoint inhibitor. A checkpoint inhibitor disclosed herein can be, for example, nivolumab, which blocks PD-1. A checkpoint inhibitor disclosed herein can be, for example, pembrolizumab.

[0009] In some embodiments, rigosertib can cause genitourinary toxicity including dysuria and hematuria. In some embodiments, risk mitigation strategies can minimize these effects.

[0010] In some embodiments, the dose of the combination partner of the checkpoint inhibitor is the dose as per the FDA label. In some embodiments, patient safety requires a deviation from the label dose.Compounds of the disclosure

[0102] A dosing regimen for intravenous administration of a compound can be, for example, 1,800 mg / day, given on days 1-3 of a 14-day cycle for 8 cycles and then every on days 1-3 of a28-day cycle thereafter. In combination with a dose of nivolumab, a 3+3 dose escalation can be incorporated to find the RP2D (recommended phase 2 dose). Dose escalation cohorts can receive the full dose of nivolumab and initially reduced doses of rigosertib, for example, 1,200 mg / day, then 1500 mg / day, then 1800 mg / day given on days 1-3 of a 14-day cycle for 8 cycles and then every on days 1-3 of a 28-day cycle thereafter. In solid tumor studies, where there is less risk of bone marrow toxicity, the dose can be further incrementally increased to 2,100 mg / day, 2,400 mg / day until the MTD and RP2D are established according to 3+3 dose escalation.

[0103] In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure can be administered in a first dose of about 840 mg administered approximately 1-2 hours before breakfast, followed by a second dose of about 280 mg administered about 2 hours after lunch or about 6-8 hours after the first dose. In some embodiments, a compound of the disclosure can be administered in a first dose of about 560 mg administered approximately 1-2 hours before breakfast, followed by a second dose of about 280-560 mg administered about 2 hours after lunch or about 6-8 hours after the first dose.

[0104] A dosing regimen disclosed herein can be, for example, one dose of 840 mg of oral rigosertib in the morning and 560 mg in the afternoon. Dose escalation can continue, depending on the observed number of dose limiting toxicities (DLT). A dosing regimen disclosed herein can be, for example, 840 mg twice daily, then 1,120 mg in the morning and then 840 mg in the afternoon. Dose escalation can continue by, for example, 280 mg increments. For example, a morning dose can be increased by 280 mg, and then the afternoon dose can be increased by 280 mg.

[0105] A dose escalation can continue until two or more DLTs are observed in a single cohort. At that point, a prior dose cohort can be expanded to 6 patients and if less than 2 DLTs occur in those 6 patients, then that dose can be considered the MTD.

[0106] Alternatively, the dose escalation can occur in 70 mg increments. Additionally, a much larger percentage of the total daily dose can be administered in the morning dose and a lower percentage in the afternoon dose (i.e. 1,400 mg in the a.m. and 560 mg in the afternoon).

[0107] In some embodiments, a subject is encouraged to drink at least 2 L of fluids per day. In some embodiments, a subject is advised to take 650 mg sodium bicarbonate three times per day, particularly if the urine pH is less than about 7.5.Rigosertib

[0108] Rigosertib ((E)-2-(5-((2,4,6-trimethoxystyrylsulfonyl)methyl)-2- methoxyphenylamino)acetic acid, (E)-2,4,6-trimethoxysteyryl-3-carboxymethylamino-4-methoxybenzyl sulfone, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt or zwitterion thereof) belongs to the class of styrylbenzyl sulfones. Rigosertib has anticancer activity in advanced solid tumors. Rigosertib inhibits kinase pathways involved in cellular processes governing cell cycle control and cancer cell growth and survival. Rigosertib binds directly to the Ras binding domain (RBD) in Ras effector proteins, including Raf and phosphatidyl-inositol 3 kinase (PI3K) kinases. Rigosertib acts as a Ras mimetic disrupting Ras signaling by binding to RBDs. Rigosertib disrupts protein-protein interaction between Ras and associated effector molecules, preventing the activation and transmission of Ras pathway signaling. Blockage of Ras pathway activity is believed to underlie the anti-tumor activity of rigosertib. In addition to directly binding to Ras binding domain, rigosertib activates the c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) pathway, resulting in the disruption of RAF / RAS activation and downstream signaling pathways, and interacts with protein kinase B (PKB), mitogen-activated proteins (MAPK), and extracellular-signaling regulated kinase (ERK). Rigosertib inhibits the polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) pathway. Additional anti-tumor effects of rigosertib are due to formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) resulting in activation of apoptotic pathways in tumor cells and potential microtubule destabilization. Rigosertib treatment induces arrest of cancer cells as the G2-M stage, resulting in increased apoptosis after dispersion of chromosomes in the cytoplasm in vitro. Cancer cells are sensitive to treatment with rigosertib, with observed IC50 values ranging from 50-250 nM in vitro, while noncancer cells have demonstrated resistance to rigosertib with observed IC50 values greater than 10,000 nM in vitro. In non-cancer cells, rigosertib treatment reversibly arrests cell cycle progress at the G1 phase, preventing cells from progressing in the cell cycle. Rigosertib can be administered as a monotherapy for treatment of cancer or in combination with other anti-cancer therapies for the treatment of cancer.

[0109] Rigosertib is available in intravenous and oral formulations. In vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation of rigosertib in mammals, including mice, rats, and dogs, following both intravenous and oral administration indicates that rigosertib accumulates in plasma at concentrations higher than concentrations necessary for anti-tumor activity in vitro.

[0116] Intact immune surveillance function is necessary for controlling the outgrowth of neoplastic transformations. A correlation between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in cancer tissue and a favorable prognosis has been observed, with the presence of CD8+-T-cells and the ratio of CD8+ effector T-cells / FoxP3+ regulatory T-cells (T-regs) correlating with improved prognosis and long-term survival in solid malignancies including ovarion cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, malignant melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma.

[0117] Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is related to cluster of differentiation 28 (CD28) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte- associated protein 4 (CTLA4). PD-1 is expressed on the cell surface of activated T-cells under normal conditions and down-modulates excessive or unwanted immune responses, including autoimmune reactions. In cancer, the interaction of PD-1 receptor and its ligand (PD-L1 and / or PD-L2) is hijacked by cancer cells and tumors to suppress immune control and reactions. PD-1 and related family members are type I transmembrane glycoproteins containing an Ig-variable- type (IgV-type) domain responsible for ligand binding and a cytoplasmic tail responsible for the binding of signaling molecules. The cytoplasmic tail of PD-1 contains 2 tyrosine-based signaling motifs, an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motif, and an immunoreceptor tyrosinebased switch motif. Following T-cell stimulation, PD-1 recruits the tyrosine phosphatases, SHP- 1 and SHP-2, to the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based switch motif within its cytoplasmic tail, leading to the dephosphorylation of effector molecules such as CD3 zeta (CD3Q, protein kinase C-theta (PKCO), and zeta-chain-associated protein kinase (ZAP70), which are involved in the CD3 T-cell signaling cascade.

[0118] PD-1 is an inhibitory receptor belonging to the CD28 / CTLA4 family and is expressed on the surface of activated T lymphocytes, B cells, monocytes, DCs, NK cells, and Tregs. In contrast to CTLA4, the major role of PD-1 is limitation of activity of T cells in peripheral tissues at the time of an inflammatory response to infection and to limit autoimmunity. Chronic antigen exposure can lead to persistently-high levels of PD-1 expression. This expression can induce a state of exhaustion or anergy of antigen-specific T-cells. This state can be at least partially reversed by PD-1 blockade.

[0119] Two ligands for PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2, are expressed on T cells, APCs, and malignant cells. The ligands function to suppress self-reactive lymphocytes and to inhibit the effector function of TAA-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Accordingly, a therapy that targets PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2 has the potential to restore the cytotoxic activity of TAA-specific T cells.

[0120] Upon engagement of ligands, PD-1 can inhibit kinases involved in T-cell activation through the phosphatase, SHP2. PD-1 can limit the activity of T-cells in peripheral tissues at the time of an inflammatory response to an infection and limit autoimmunity. The decrease in the proliferation of T-cells can lead to a decrease in IL-2 secretion. PD-1 can also be highly expressed on Tregs, which can have an immunosuppressive function, and further increase the proliferation of Tregs. Tumors can be highly infiltrated with TregS; thus, blockade of PD-1 candiminish the immunosuppressive function of the intratumoral Tregs.

[0121] Due to the broad expression pattern, PD-1 can also enhance NK activity in tumors or tissues. PD-1 can increase antibody production through PD-1+B-cells. Chronic antigen exposure observed in viral infection and cancer can lead to persistent PD-1 activation and T-cell anergy among cognate antigen-specific T-cells. This anergic state can be reversed through a blockade of PD-1.

[0122] PD-1 can also be expressed on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in many tumor types. The enhanced PD-1 expression of CD4+cells can reflect the high expression of PD-1 on regulatory T-cells within tumors. PD-1 can also be highly expressed on CD8+cells and can reflect an anergic state. Consistent with the increased expression of PD-1 on lymphocytes from many tumors, the ligands of PD-1 can also be highly expressed on the tumor cell surface. PD-L1 can be highly expressed on, for example, melanoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and renal cancer cells. PD-L2 can be highly expressed on, for example, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, follicular cell B-cell lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Anti-PD-1 antibodies can induce regression of several tumor types including colon, renal, lung, and melanoma. Therapies targeting PD-1 directly or the interaction between PD-1 and a ligand include nivolumab, pembrolizumab, pidilizumab, and AMP-224.

In some embodiments, treatment with a PD-1 inhibitor results in inadequate activation of TILs within the tumor microenvironment.Checkpoint Inhibitors

[0127] In some embodiments, disclosed herein is a method of treating a cancer by administering an immunomodulatory agent. In some embodiments, disclosed herein is a method of treating a cancer by administering a compound of a disclosure and a cancer immunotherapy. In some embodiments, the cancer immunotherapy targets an immune checkpoint. In some embodiments, the cancer immunotherapy can block an inhibitory checkpoint and restore immune system function. In some embodiments, disclosed herein is a method of treating a cancer byadministering a compound of the disclosure and an antibody. In some embodiments, disclosed herein is a method of treating a cancer by administering a compound of the disclosure and a biologic.

[0128] Immune checkpoints are co-stimulatory and inhibitory elements intrinsic to the immune system. Immune checkpoints aid in maintaining self-tolerance and modulating the duration and amplitude of physiological immune responses to reduce injury to tissues when the immune system responds to pathogenic infection. An immune response can also be initiated when a T-cell recognizes antigens that are unique to a tumor cell (e.g. non-self antigens or tumor neo-antigens) or are characteristic of a tumor cell (e.g. tumor-associated antigens (TAAs)). The equilibrium between the co-stimulatory and inhibitory signals used to control the immune response from T- cells can be modulated by immune checkpoint proteins. After T-cells mature and activate in the thymus, T-cells can travel to sites of inflammation and injury to perform repair functions. T-cell function can occur either via direct action or through the recruitment of cytokines and membrane ligands involved in the immune system. The steps involved in T-cell maturation, activation, proliferation, and function can be regulated through co-stimulatory and inhibitory signals, namely through immune checkpoint proteins. Tumors can dysregulate checkpoint protein function as an immune-resistance mechanism. Thus, the development of modulators of checkpoint proteins can have therapeutic value. Non-limiting examples of immune checkpoint molecules include LAG3, BTLA, KIR, CTLA4, ICOS, TIM3, A2aR, PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CD40L, OX40L, CD137L, CD47, B7-H3, and B7-H4. These checkpoint molecules can operate upstream of IL-2 in a pathway.

[0129] Checkpoint molecules guard against unwanted and harmful self-directed activation of the immune system (autoimmunity). Although necessary in aiding in the suppression of autoimmunity, these molecules can hinder immunotherapies aimed at targeting malignant selfcells that largely display the same array of surface molecules as the parent cells. Therapies aimed at overcoming these mechanisms of peripheral tolerance, particularly by blocking the inhibitory checkpoints, offer the potential to generate antitumor activity, either as monotherapies or in combination with other therapies that directly or indirectly enhance presentation of tumor epitopes to the immune system.

[0130] Immunological checkpoints can be molecules that regulate inhibitory signaling pathways (for example, LAG3, CTLA4, PD-1, and TIM3) or molecules that regulate stimulatory signaling pathways (for example, by ICOS). Several proteins in the extended immunoglobulin superfamily can be ligands for immunological checkpoints. Non-limiting examples of immune checkpointligand proteins include B7-H4, ICOSL, PD-L1, PD-L2, CD40L, OX40L, CD86, and CD137L.

[0131] In some embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is a cell-surface checkpoint inhibitor. In some embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is a CTLA-4 inhibitor, a PD-1 inhibitor, or a PD-L1 inhibitor. In some embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is an intracellular checkpoint inhibitor. In some embodiments, the checkpoint inhibitor is cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein (CISH).

[0132] LAG3 (Lymphocyte-activation gene 3) is expressed on activated antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells and can enhance the function of regulatory T-cells and independently inhibit CD8+ effector T-cell activity. LAG3 is a CD-4-like negative regulatory protein with a high affinity binding site to MHC Class II, which is upregulated on some epithelial cancers, to provide tolerance of T cell proliferation and homeostasis. Blockage of the LAG-3 / Class II interaction using a LAG-3 -IG fusion protein enhances antitumor immune responses. Therapeutics targeting LAG3 include IMP321 and other monoclonal antibodies.

[0133] BTLA (B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator) can inhibit T-cells when associated with HVEM (herpes-virus entry mediator) as a ligand. HVEM can be expressed on melanoma and endothelial cancer cells. BTLA levels can be high on TILs from subjects with melanoma, and BTLA- expressing T-cells can be inhibited in the presence of HVEM.

[0134] KIR (killer immunoglobulin-like receptor) is expressed by Natural Killer (NK) cells and a subset of T lymphocytes. KIRs are largely cell surface inhibitory receptors specific for allelic forms of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules. Upon engagement with HLA class I molecules, KIRs block NK cell activation and function. Blockage of KIRs can lead to blockage of NK cell activation and function.

[0135] CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4) is also known as CD 152 (Cluster of differentiation 152). CTLA4 shares sequence homology and ligands (CD80 / B7-1 and CD86 / B7- 2) with the costimulatory molecule CD28, but differs by delivering inhibitory signals to T cells expressing CTLA4 as a receptor. CTLA4 has a much higher overall affinity for both ligands and can out-compete CD28 for binding when ligand densities are limiting.

[0136] CTLA4 is expressed on the surface of CD8+ effector T-cells and plays a functional role in the initial activation stages of both naive and memory T cells. CTLA4 counteracts the activity of CD28 via increased affinity for CD80 and CD86 during the early stages of T-cell activation. The major functions of CTLA4 include downmodulation of helper T-cells and enhancement of regulatory T-cell immunosuppressive activity. Evidence for the importance of CTLA4 can be demonstrated through the lethal systemic immune hyperactivation phenotype in Ctla4 -I- mice.

[0137] CTLA4 can also downregulate immune system functions via inhibition of IL-2 production and IL-2 receptor expression. CTLA4 can inhibit CD28-dependent upregulation of IL-2, and the inhibition of IL-2 production can lead to cell cycle arrest. The decrease in IL-2 and subsequent cell cycle arrest can account for the reduced T-cell proliferation observed in the presence of CTLA4.

[0138] CTLA4 includes an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding different isoforms exist. The membranebound isoform can function as a homodimer interconnected by a disulfide bond, and the soluble isoform can function as a monomer. Mutations in CTLA4 can be associated with, for example, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Graves’ disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid-associated orbitopathy, and other autoimmune diseases.

[0139] Therapies targeting CTLA4 can be developed to circumvent tumor resistance mechanisms. Inhibition of CTLA4 can lead to a broad enhancement of immune responses that are dependent on helper T-cells. Thus, therapeutics aimed at blocking CTLA4 can assist in evading tumor cell resistance mechanisms. Examples of therapies targeting CTLA4 include ipilimumab and tremelimumab, monoclonal antibodies that can target CTLA4 and can be used in the treatment of, for example, melanoma. Therapies can also be directed toward increasing the activity of CTLA4 for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Fusion proteins of CTLA4 and antibodies can increase the immune response in patients with, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, or patients sensitized to the Epstein Barr Virus (EPV) undergoing renal transplantation.

[0140] ICOS (Inducible T-cell COStimulator), also known as CD278, is a CD28-superfamily costimulatory molecule that is expressed on activated T cells. CD40 and CD134 are examples of additional co-stimulatory molecules.

[0141] TIM3 (T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3), also known as Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2) is a Thl-specific cell surface protein that regulates macrophage activation. TIM3 can inhibit helper T-cell responses via association with the TIM3 ligand, galectin 9. Galectin 9 can be upregulated in various types of cancer, including breast cancer. TIM3 can be co-expressed with PD-1 on tumor specific CD8+ T-cells and inhibition of both molecules can significantly enhance the proliferation and cytokine production of T-cells.

[0142] Four types of adenosine receptors, Al, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptors, are expressed on the surface of immune cells. On T cells, the predominant subtype expressed is A2A adenosine receptor (A2aR). Immunosuppressive signaling through the A2aR receptor can control thecytokine secretion pattern of NK cells and function to protect inflamed tissues from excessive damage by immune cells. A2aR receptors inhibit T-cell responses by driving CD4+ T-cells to express F0XP3 (forkhead box P3). F0XP3 can then cause the CD4+ T-cells to develop into regulatory T-cells. Deletion of A2aR can lead to pathological inflammatory responses to infection.

[0143] B7-H3 can costimulate proliferation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, enhance the induction of cytotoxic T cells, and selectively stimulate interferon (IFN-y) production in the presence of T cell receptor signaling. The B7-H3 receptor can be expressed in dendritic cells and monocytes.

[0144] B7-H4, also known as B7S1 or B7x, is a coinhibitory member of the B7 family that negatively regulates neutrophil-mediated innate immune responses. The B7-H4 receptor can be expressed in B cells and antigen presenting cells. The B7-H4 receptor can also be overexpressed in breast, ovarian, lung cancer, and other solid tumors.

Treatment options for metastatic melanoma have been limited to chemotherapeutic agents such as dacarbazine and high-dose interleukin-2 immunotherapy in a small percentage of patients. Recently progress in thedevelopment of targeted therapy and immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma. Has included Vemurafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, which was approved in 2011 for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with BRAFV600Emutation, and ipilimumab, an anti-CTLA4 monoclonal antibody, which was approved in 2011 for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. About half of patients with metastatic melanoma have tumors which harbor activating mutations at the BRAFV600locus, rendering them sensitive to targeted therapy with BRAF / MEK inhibitors. Mutually exclusive of BRAF driver mutations, another 30% of patients with metastatic melanoma have tumors which are driven by activating mutations in NRAS. The remaining 20% of melanoma patients have tumors without either of these driver mutations.

[0180] Patients with unresectable / metastatic melanoma are typically initially treated with checkpoint inhibitor therapy (barring contraindication) regardless of underlying BRAF mutation, as checkpoint inhibitor therapy is associated with a greater potential for durable response. Upon disease progression, patients whose disease has an underlying BRAF mutation are eligible for targeted therap. BRAF inhibition has been shown to induce TIL invasion into the tumor-immune environment. However, approximately half of all patients with metastatic melanoma lack effective treatment options after progression on checkpoint inhibitor therapy due to the absence of BRAFV600activating mutations. Once disease progresses on PD-1 / L1 inhibitor treatment, effective treatment options are limited. One strategy is to continue PD-1 / L1 inhibitor treatment can be continued in combination with ipilimumab; this has shown to result in objective response rates higher than single-agent ipilimumab treatment with similar rates of Grade 3+ toxicity.Methods of administration

[0189] An approximate dose can be predicted or determined on the basis of data existing in other species. In some embodiments, allometric scaling can be used to exchange a drug dose based on normalization of dose to body surface area. Allometric scaling considers the sizes of individual species based on body surface area, which is related to metabolic rate of an animal that is established through evolutionary adaptation of animals to their size. A no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) is first determined in an animal species, the NOAEL is converted to a human equivalent dose (HED), an appropriate animal species is selected, a safety factor is applied, and a pharmacologically active dose is determined.

[0190] NOAEL, the highest dose level that does not cause significant adverse effects, is a typical index for safety obtained from animal experiments to determine a safe starting dose. NOAEL values can be converted to HED on the basis of the body surface correction factor using appropriate scaling factors from animal species. TABLE 1 lists HED calculation guidelines based on body surface areas. HED is determined using the equation:HED (mg / kg) = Animal NOAEL (mg / kg) x (Weightanimai[kg] / Weighthuman[kg])(1'0 67)

[0191] The HED is divided by a factor value of 10 to increase safety of the first human dose. The safety factor is accountable for differences in physiological and biological processes between human and animal species.

[0192] The correction factor (Km) is estimated by dividing the average body weight (kg) of a species to its body surface area (m2). The Kmfactor values of various animal species of TABLE 1 is used to estimate the HED as:HED (mg / kg) = Animal doses (mg / kg) x (Animal Km / Human Km); or HED (mg / kg) = Animal doses (mg / kg) x KmratioTABLE 1

[0193] TABLE 2 provides animal equivalent dose (AED) calculation guidelines based on body surface area. The animal equivalent dose (AED) can also be calculated on the basis of body surface area by either dividing or multiplying the human dose (mg / kg) by the Kmratio provided in TABLE 2. AED can be calculated using the equation:AED (mg / kg) = Human doses (mg / kg) x KmratioTABLE 2

[0194] For parenteral administration, HED conversion (mg / kg) is also based on body surface area normalization. The conversion can be made by dividing the NOAEL in appropriate species by the conversion factor. TABLE 3 provides guidelines for maximum injection volume, by species, site location, and gauge size. Injection volume of parenteral formulation is calculated by the following equation:Injection volume (mL) = [Animal weight (kg) x Animal doses (mg / kg)] / Concentration (mg / kg)TABLE 3

[0219] Approximately 30 patients are enrolled in a dose escalation study of rigosertib in nonsmall cell lung cancer to investigate doses of rigosertib in combination with nivolumab. The dose of nivolumab is 240 mg every two weeks or 480 mg every four weeks. The next rigosertib dose cohort is 840 mg in the morning and 560 mg in the afternoon, given at least 2 hours after the prior meal and 1 hour before each subsequent meal. Dose increments in the dose escalation 3+3 study are 280 mg each, with the morning dose being raised first, then the afternoon dose being raised in the next cohort, for example, 840 mg / 560 mg, then 840 mg / 840 mg, then 1,120 mg / 840 mg, etc. (morning and afternoon, respectively). Per 3+3 dose escalation studies, the MTD and RP2D are determined based on DLTs and after determination of the RP2D, an expansion cohort of up to 12 patients is enrolled. In addition to the assessment of safety and tolerability, efficacy is measured by the overall response rate as assessed by iRECIST.

[0220] Following determination of the RP2D a randomized, controlled phase 2 study is performed with rigosertib combination with nivolumab. Approximately 200 patients are enrolled in a 1 : 1 ratio to receive either nivolumab + placebo or nivolumab + rigosertib. Primary outcome is the statistical comparison between progression-free survival (PFS) rates, with overall survival (OS) as the secondary endpoint.EXAMPLE 2: Study to Evaluate an Intravenous Pharmaceutical Composition Disclosed Herein for Treating a Disease in a Subject.

[0221] Approximately 30 patients are enrolled in a dose escalation study of IV rigosertib in colorectal cancer to determine the MTD in combination with nivolumab. The study is performed in combination with standard dose check point inhibition as per the label. The initial dose of IV rigosertib given in combination is 1,200 mg / 24 hours given as a continuous infusion (CIV) for days 1-3 of a 14-day cycle. The next rigosertib dose cohort is 1,500 mg / 24 hours as a continuous infusion (CIV) for days 1-3 of a 14-day cycle. Dose increments in the dose escalation 3+3 study are 300 mg / 24 hours each. (1,800 mg, 2,100 mg, 2,400 mg, etc.). Per 3+3 dose escalation studies, the MTD and RP2D are determined based on DLTs and after determination of the RP2D, an expansion cohort of up to 12 patients is enrolled at the RP2D. In addition to the assessment of safety and tolerability, efficacy is measured by the overall response rate as assessed by iRECIST.

[0222] Following determination of the RP2D a randomized, controlled phase 2 study is performed in combination with nivolumab. Approximately 200 patients are enrolled in a 1 : 1 ratio to receive either nivolumab + placebo or nivolumab + rigosertib. Primary outcome is the statistical comparison between progression-free survival (PFS) rates, with overall survival (OS) as the secondary endpoint.EXAMPLE 3: Study to Evaluate PK / PD results for a Pharmaceutical Composition Disclosed Herein for Treating a Disease in a Subject.

[0223] Levels of a biomarker or protein are measured in a cancer cell specimen collected before beginning treatment and at the end of treatment. The effects of rigosertib on the RAS mutation in the tumor and circulating tumor cells are studied, along with the immunological milieu of the patients responding and compared to those who do not respond to the treatment. The specific time points for blood and tissue collection for pharmacodynamic assessments are determined by the protocol. Pharmacodynamic data are tabulated and summarized by individual patient and collectively by dose level. Graphical displays are provided where useful in the interpretation of results.

[0224] Results available from previous genetic and biomarker tests, and additional tests of the blood and liquid cancer cell samples for biomarkers relevant to the safety and efficacy of a pharmaceutical composition described herein can be investigated for possible correlation with patient outcome.EXAMPLE 4: Animal models to test activity of rigosertib in RAS mutated cancers with immune checkpoint inhibitors

[0225] KRAS has been identified to be mutated in a number of tumor types including lung, GI Tract (colon), pancreas, skin, breast, hematopoietic tissues, gynecological, testis, and urinary tumors. In addition to mutations, other perturbations of KRAS pathway can occur leading to activation of the pathway such as amplification of wild-type KRAS. Identification of specific KRAS show that most mutations primarily occur at the G12 and G13 amino acids with a mutations changing the G to a C (G12C and G13C, respectively). In addition G12D, G12V, G12R and G12A mutations are also clinically relevant and seem to be cancer specific.

[0226] Multiple mouse models are employed to test the efficacy of rigosertib in RAS mutated cancers in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. A patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model is used for the experiments, including samples obtained from NSCLC, colo-rectal, and pancreatic cancer patient. The specific PDX model used is determined based on the KRAS mutation status of the patient sample. The tumors are analyzed via genomic sequencing to determine the KRAS mutation and any other driver mutations or amplifications in other known cell cycle or survival signaling pathways.

[0227] Patient derived samples are studied in humanized mice. Since optimal activity of checkpoint inhibitors requires an intact immune system, the studies are run in specific immunocompetent mouse models. Humanized mouse models routinely use mice with severe combined immunodeficiency that have been transplanted with hematopoietic stem cells or humanperipheral blood cells. After transplantation, the mice are engrafted with the KRAS driven PDX line and treated as described below.

[0228] In addition to the humanized models employing PDX models, rigosertib and checkpoint inhibitor combinations are studied in murine syngeneic models. Syngeneic models utilize allografts of KRAS driven tumor cells derived from the exact strain of mouse that are engrafted, which protects the tumors from rejection. A third model uses murine models that are genetically engineered to express human immune components (GEMMS) that also have genetically defined KRAS mutation driven cancers.

[0229] The animal assays establish the ability of rigosertib to synergize the activity of the checkpoint inhibitor or act in an additive manner. The studies also address the various dosing and scheduling of rigosertib and how dosing affects the efficacy of the rigosertib-checkpoint inhibitor combination treatments.

[0230] The humanized mice are implanted either subcutaneously or orthotopically with patient derived tumor tissue. Syngeneic mice are implanted subcutaneously with KRAS activated cells with a genetic background is identical to the mouse strain being implanted. The tumors are permitted to grow to a tumor volume is greater than or equal to 50 mm3. Once are enough animals harbor tumors with similar tumor volumes, the mice are treated with rigosertib and the checkpoint inhibitor.

[0231] Rigosertib is administered at various doses and schedules. Rigosertib is administered by oral gavage at 50 mg / kg (HED=243.9), 100 mg / kg (HED: 487.8 mg), 150 mg / kg (HED 731.7 mg), 200 mg / kg (HED=975 mg), 250 mg / kg (HED=1219.8 mg), or 300 mg / kg (HED=1463.4 mg). The schedule is BID at each dose. The schedule is further modified to mimic the scheduling in humans and reduce possible toxicity, such that the schedules follow: 150 mg / kg, 200 mg / kg, 250 mg / kg, and 300 mg / kg in the morning followed by pairing with a higher dose in the afternoon (TABLE 4).TABLE 4

[0232] The animals dosed with checkpoint inhibitors are administered a dose at a schedule that is clinically relevant. For example, nivolumab is tested in a dose range between 5-30 mg / kgadministered 1-2 times per week by intraperitoneal injection. Pembrolizumab is administered 5- 10 mg / kg every 3-5 days by intraperitoneal injection. For syngeneic models, mouse anti-PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 clones are used for optimal antigen specific recognition. In addition to the combination groups, control groups consist of rigosertib alone, the checkpoint inhibitor alone, and an appropriate vehicle control.

[0233] Assessment of the growth inhibitory activity of each agent is determined by two criteria: tumor growth and increase in life span (ILS). Tumor growth is monitored by determining a tumor volume. Tumor sizes are calculated according to the formula W2x L / 2 (L = length and W = the perpendicular width of the tumor, L > W). The second criteria (used for the leukemia model) measures an increase in ILS. ILS is calculated using the following formula: (mean survival of treated / (mean survival of vehicle control)- 1 x 100.Example 5: Study to evaluate oral rigosertib in combination with intravenous pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic melanoma refractory to PD-1 inhibitor therapy.

[0234] The efficacy of rigosertib in combination with pembrolizumab is evaluated in patients with metastatic melanoma who are refractory to treatment with a PD-1 inhibitor. All patients have at least one baseline measurable lesions by iRECIST 1.1 definition on CT or MRI. Patients are administered rigosertib beginning on Day 1 of each 28-day treatment cycle at a dose of 560 mg orally twice daily, once in the morning after an overnight fast and on an empty stomach waiting an hour after administering to consume food and once in the afternoon on an empty stomach at least 2 hours after the last meal, waiting an hour after administering to consume a meal. Rigosertib is administered twice daily for a period of 21 days followed by 1 week of no rigosertib administration in a 28-day cycle. The PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab is administered at a dose of 400 mg via intravenous infusion over a period of 30 minutes on the first day of a 6- week cycle. Throughout the administration period, patients are instructed to maintain good hydration, e.g., consuming at least 2 liters of water per day. Trial interventions are detailed in TABLE 5.TABLE 5Rigosertib is supplied as oral capsules of an opaque yellow-orange capsule with rigosertib suspended at a concentration of 280 mg / mL in PEG 400 and PEG 4000. Each capsule of rigosertib contains a total of 280 mg of rigosertib. For a 560 mg dose of rigosertib, a patient consumes two capsules of rigosertib. Pembrolizumab is supplied as a solution for injection in a vial at a concentration of 100 mg pembrolizumab / 4 mL corresponding to 25 mg / mL.

[0235] Patients will receive treatment until one of the following conditions has been met: confirmed disease progression, intolerable toxicity, confirmed complete response, withdrawal of consent, completion of two years of therapy, or until requirement of antineoplastic therapy. Throughout the course of the study, tumor assessment is performing by radiological scans taken every eight weeks beginning after 8 weeks of administration and every 8 weeks thereafter for the first 24 weeks of the study, followed by every 12 weeks thereafter. Tumor response is evaluated based on the iRECIST criteria.

[0238] irAEs and Dose Modification and Toxicity Management Guidelines

[0239] Adverse events associated with pembrolizumab exposure may represent an immunologic etiology, with the immune-related adverse events (irAEs) occurring shortly after the first of pembrolizumab or after the last dose. Suspected irAEs are evaluated to confirm etiology or exclude other potential causes, with additional procedures or tests (e.g., bronchoscopy, endoscopy, or skin biopsy) potentially utilized as part of the evaluating. Confirmed irAEs are managed with interruptions of pembrolizumab or combination therapy, administration of corticosteroids, and / or administration of other supportive care.

[0240] Patients are monitored for signs and symptoms of pneumonitis and patients with suspected pneumonitis are evaluated with radiographic imaging to confirm. For patients with pneumonitis with a Toxicity Grade (CTCAE v5.0) Grade 2, pembrolizumab is withheld until the dissipation of the irAE and for patients with recurrent Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4 pneumonitis pembrolizumab administration is permanently discontinued. In addition to modifying pembrolizumab administration, patients with pneumonitis are administered corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone or an equivalent at a dose of 1 to 2 mg / kg) followed by taper. Corticosteroidadministration can be combined with administration of prophylactic antibiotics for opportunistic infections.

[0241] Patients are monitored for signs and symptoms of enterocolitis (e.g., diarrhea, abdominal pain, blood or mucus in stool with or without fever) and for signs of symptoms of bowel perforation (e.g., peritoneal signs and ileus). For patients with Grade 2 or Grade 3 diarrhea and / or colitis, pembrolizumab administration is withheld until dissipation of diarrhea / colitis and for patients with recurrent Grade 3 or Grade 4 diarrhea and / or colitis, pembrolizumab administration is permanently discontinued. In addition to modifying pembrolizumab administration, patients with diarrhea and / or colitis are administered corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone or equivalent at an initial dose of 1 to 2 mg / kg) followed by tape. Patients with Grade 2 diarrhea or above with suspected colitis can receive GI consultation and undergo endoscopy to rule out colitis. Patients with diarrhea and / or colitis should maintain adequate hydration (e.g., oral fluid intake of clear fluids or IV infusion of fluid and electrolytes when oral fluid intake is not feasible.

[0242] Patient are monitored with liver function tests for AST or ALT elevation or increased bilirubin. AST or ALT elevation or increased bilirubin Grades are defined by the following liver function test values:• Grade 2: o AST / ALT: >3.0 to5.0 x ULN if baseline normal; >3.0 to 5.0 x baseline, if baseline abnormal o bilirubin:>1.5 to 3.0 x ULN if baseline normal; >1.5 to 3.0 x baseline if baseline abnormal• Grade 3 : o AST / ALT: >5.0 to 20.0 x ULN, if baseline normal; >5.0 to 20.0 x baseline, if baseline abnormal o bilirubin:>3.0 to 10.0 x ULN if baseline normal; >3.0 to 10.0 x baseline if baseline abnormal• Grade 4: o AST / ALT: >20.0 x ULN, if baseline normal; >20.0 x baseline, if baseline abnormal o bilirubin: >10.0 x ULN if baseline normal; >10.0 x baseline if baseline abnormalFor patients with Grade 2 AST or ALT elevation or increased bilirubin, pembrolizumab is withheld and corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone or equivalent at an initial dose of 0.5 to 1 mg / kg) followed by taper are administered. For patients with Grade 3 or Grade 4 AST or ALT elevationor increased bilirubin, pembrolizumab administration is permanently discontinued and corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone or equivalent at an initial dose of 1 to 2 mg / kg) followed by taper are administered. Throughout, liver function tests are performed (e.g., weekly or more frequently) until liver enzyme values are returned to baseline or are stable.

[0243] Patient are monitored for hyperglycemia or other signs and symptoms of diabetes. For participants with new onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or Grade 3 or Grade 4 hyperglycemia associated with evidence of -cell failure, pembrolizumab administration is withheld and for patients with T1DM, insulin replacement therapy is initiated and for patients with hyperglycemia, antihyperglycemics are administered.

[0244] Patients are monitored for signs and symptoms of hypophysitis (e.g., hypopituitarism and adrenal insufficiency). For patients with Grade 2 hypophysitis, pembrolizumab administration is withheld and for patients with Grade 3 or Grade 4 hypophysitis, pembrolizumab administration is withheld or permanently discontinued. Concurrent with pembrolizumab dose management, corticosteroids are administered, and hormonal replacement treatment is initiated per clinical indications.

[0245] Patients are monitored for signs and symptoms of thyroid disorders. For patients with Grade 2 hyperthyroidism, pembrolizumab administration is continued and for patients with Grade 3 or Grade 4 hyperthyroidism, pembrolizumab administration is withheld or permanently discontinued. Concurrently, nonselective beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol) or thionamides are administered.

[0246] Patients are monitored for signs and symptoms of thyroid disorders. For patients with Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4 hypothyroidism, pembrolizumab administration is continued. Concurrently, thyroid replacement hormones (e.g., levothyroxine or liothyronine) are administered.

[0247] Patients are monitored for changes of renal function. Nephritis is graded accorded according to increased creatinine or acute kidney injury. For patients with Grade 2 nephritis, pembrolizumab administration is withheld and for patients with Grade 3 or Grade 4 nephritis, pembrolizumab administration is permanently discontinued. In addition to pembrolizumab dose management, corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone or equivalent at an initial dose of 1 to 2 mg / kg) followed by taper are administered.

[0248] Patients are monitored for neurological toxicities. Adequate evaluation to confirm etiology and / or exclude other causes of neurological toxicity is necessary. For patients with Grade 2 neurological toxicities, pembrolizumab administration is withheld and for patients with Grade 3 or Grade 4 neurological toxicities, pembrolizumab administration is permanentlydiscontinued. Corticosteroids are concurrently administered in combination with pembrolizumab dose management based on the severity of the neurological toxicity adverse event.

For patients with suspected Stevens- Johnsons syndrome (SJS), Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), or Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) pembrolizumab administration is withheld. For patients with confirmed SJS, TEN, or DRESS pembrolizumab administration is permanently discontinued. Corticosteroids are concurrently administered in combination with pembrolizumab dose management based on severity of the adverse event.

[0251] Patients are evaluated for other irAEs with adequate evaluation to confirm etiology and / or exclude other causes. For patients with persistent Grade 2 irAEs, pembrolizumab administration is withheld. For patients with Grade 3 irAEs, pembrolizumab administration is withheld or discontinued, depending on the irAEs. Grade 3 irAEs warranting discontinuation of pembrolizumab administration include but are not limited to encephalitis, vasculitis, and sclerosing cholangitis. For patients with recurrent Grade 3 or Grade 4 irAEs, pembrolizumab administration is permanently discontinued. Corticosteroids are concurrently administered in combination with pembrolizumab dose management based on the severity of the adverse event.

[0252] The dose of corticosteroid should not exceed 10 mg / day within 12 weeks of the last study intervention treatment. Failure for the irAE to resolve warrants in permanent discontinuation of pembrolizumab administration. Corticosteroid taper should begin when the irAE is at or less than Grade 1 and continue for at least 4 weeks. For all irAEs, other immunosuppressive treatments should be initiated if the irAE is not controlled by corticosteroids. For irAEs where pembrolizumab administration has been withheld, pembrolizumab administration may resume after the irAE has decreased to at or less than Grade 1 following corticosteroid taper.

[0253] Rigosertib adverse events and dose modification

[0254] Adverse events associated with oral rigosertib administration include urinary toxicity and hyponatremia. Dose administration strategies, including urinary management strategies of maintaining good hydration status (at least 2 L per day), afternoon dosing of the second dailydose, and emptying of the bladder before sleep minimize bladder dwell of rigosertib and mitigate risk of urinary toxicity.

[0255] Patients are monitored for signs and symptoms of renal dysfunction (e.g., serum creatinine, or renal ultrasound) and serial urinalysis is monitored in combination with potential urine cytology and urology consultation. For patients with urinary toxicity including: dysuria, hematuria, pollakiuria, proteinuria, urinary retention, or cystitis rigosertib administration is modified according to Toxicity Grade (CTCAE v5.0).• For patients with an initial Grade 2 urinary toxicity episode, the rigosertib dose is delayed for up to 4 weeks until toxicity resolves to at or less than Grade 1.

Following resolving of the AE, rigosertib administration is resumed at a dose 280 mg twice daily, corresponding to the second dose reduction.• For patients with a recurrent Grade 3 AE experiencing a third episode or a Grade 4 AE excluding neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea rigosertib administration is permanently discontinued.• For patients with a Grade 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea the rigosertib dose is delayed for up to 4 weeks until toxicity resolves to at or less than Grade 1. Following the resolving of the AE, rigosertib administration is resumed at a reduced dose.

[0260] In addition to rigosertib dose reduction, additional measures including supportive care and general of ICU admission for symptomatic or significant derangement can be applied to the patient.

[0261] Patients are monitored and evaluated for SJS, TEN, or DRESS. For patients with confirmed SJS, TEN, or DRESS rigosertib administration is permanently discontinued. Supportive care, dermatology consultation, and general or ICU admission for symptomatic or significant derangement can be combined with rigosertib dose discontinuation.

[0262] Dose-limiting and treatment toxicities for oral rigosertib administration include the following:• Grade 3-4 febrile neutropenia• Grade 4 neutropenia lasting longer than 5 days• Grade 4 thrombocytopenia• Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding• ALT / AST > 3xULN with bilirubin >2xULN without another explanation (e.g., cholestasis)• Grade 4 nausea / vomiting / diarrhea of any duration• Grade > 3 non-hematologic toxicity with the following exceptions: o Grade 3 nausea managed with maximal medical therapy that has persisted < 72 hours o Grade 3 vomiting and / or diarrhea managed with maximal medical therapy that has persisted < 72 hours o Grade 3 fatigue < 7 days• Any toxicity that delays administration of rigosertib for more than 2 weeks• Any toxicity that results in a patient receiving < 80% of the anticipated dose in the first 28-day cycle (DLT observation period)

[0263] Following observation of a treatment-related toxicity, rigosertib administration is held for up to 4 weeks until the toxicity is resolved to at or less than Grade 1. Following resolving of the toxicity, rigosertib administration will resume at a reduced dosage according to the dose reduction detailed in TABLE 6.TABLE 6Toxicity is re-assessed prior to resuming administration of rigosertib administration and after a 28 day cycle of treatment following the dose reduction. If toxicity or adverse events resolve to Grade 1 or baseline at the reduced level with no additional toxicities observed at the reduced dose, the rigosertib dose may be increased in a step-wise manner (e.g., second dose reduction to first dose reduction, first dose reduction to full starting dose). If toxicity persists at Grade 2, rigosertib administration is continued at a reduce dose and if toxicity persists for greater than four weeks at or above Grade 2, rigosertib is withheld.
