Description
[Technical field]
[0001] cross reference This application is a continuation of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 211,070, filed June 16, 2021, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 211,071, filed June 16, 2021, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. [Background technology]
[0002] background The majority of lung adenocarcinomas harbor KRAS mutations as the primary genetic driver. Tumors with mutations in KRAS may have a worse prognosis than KRAS wild-type tumors. Therefore, treatments that can target the KRAS pathway may be beneficial for patients with cancers that harbor KRAS mutations.

[0005] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a dose escalation study of the compounds disclosed herein. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0006] Detailed Description of the Invention Ras is the most commonly mutated gene that causes cancer. Approximately 40% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have mutations in RAS, most commonly KRAS. The mechanism of action of the compounds disclosed herein, such as rigosertib, is to downregulate the mutated RAS pathway. This modulation of the RAS pathway can lead to less production of ERK, a protein involved in cell proliferation. When ERK is overexpressed, it can provide a growth advantage to cells, thus leading to cancer. KRAS-mutated NSCLC can be managed, for example, with checkpoint inhibitors.
[0007] Rigosertib ((E)-2-(5-((2,4,6-trimethoxystyrylsulfonyl)methyl)-2-methoxyphenylamino)acetic acid, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or zwitterion thereof) can block the RAS cascade and promote the expression of novel antigens on the tumor surface. This process can change a cold tumor, not surrounded by host lymphocytes, into a hot tumor, surrounded by host lymphocytes. This modulation of the tumor microenvironment (TME) combined with checkpoint blockade can promote the host immune system to contribute to tumor control. Host lymphocytes can contribute to tumor control when exposed to checkpoint inhibitors.
[0008] The present disclosure provides a combination of a compound disclosed herein, such as rigosertib, with a checkpoint inhibitor. The checkpoint inhibitor disclosed herein can be, for example, nivolumab, which blocks PD-1.
[0009] In some embodiments, rigosertib can cause genitourinary toxicity, including dysuria and hematuria, hi some embodiments, risk mitigation strategies can minimize these effects.
[0010] In some embodiments, the dose of the checkpoint inhibitor combination partner is in accordance with the FDA label. In some embodiments, patient safety requires deviation from the labeled dose.

[0115] Approximate doses can be predicted or determined based on data available in other species. In some embodiments, allometric scaling can be used to exchange drug doses based on normalization of dose to body surface area. Allometric scaling takes into account the size of an individual species based on body surface area, which is related to the metabolic rate of the animal, established by the evolutionary adaptation of the animal to its size. First, a no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) is determined in the animal species, the NOAEL is converted to a human equivalent dose (HED), the appropriate animal species is selected, a safety factor is applied, and a pharmacologically active dose is determined.
[0116] The NOAEL, the highest dose level not causing significant adverse effects, is a typical index of safety derived from animal studies to determine a safe starting dose. The NOAEL value can be converted to a HED using the appropriate conversion factor from the animal species based on the body surface area correction factor. Table 1 lists the HED calculation guidelines based on body surface area. The HED is calculated using the equation: HED (mg / kg) = NOAEL (mg / kg) x (body weight) 動物 [kg] / weight ヒト [kg]) (1~0.67) is determined using
[0117] To increase the safety of the first dose in humans, the HED is divided by a factor value of 10. The safety factor can account for differences in physiological and biological processes between humans and animal species.
[0118] Correction factor (K m ) is the ratio of the average body weight (kg) of a species to the body surface area (m 2 ) for various animal species. m The coefficient values are used to estimate the HED as follows: HED (mg / kg) = Animal dose (mg / kg) × (Animal K m / Human K m ),or HED(mg / kg)=Animal dose(mg / kg)×K m ratio [Table 1]
[0119] Table 2 provides guidelines for calculating the Animal Equivalent Dose (AED) based on body surface area. The Animal Equivalent Dose (AED) is calculated based on body surface area by converting the human dose (mg / kg) to the K values provided in Table 2. m Divide by ratio or K m The AED can also be calculated by either multiplying the ratio. The AED can be calculated using the following equation: AED(mg / kg) = Human dose(mg / kg) × K m ratio [Table 2]
[0120] For parenteral administration, HED conversion (mg / kg) is also based on body surface area normalization. Conversion can be performed by dividing the NOAEL for the appropriate species by the conversion factor. Table 3 provides guidance for maximum injection volumes by species, site location, and gauge size. Injection volumes for parenteral formulations are calculated by the following equation: Injection volume (mL) = [animal weight (kg) x animal dose (mg / kg)] / concentration (mg / kg) [Table 3]
[0121] Checkpoint inhibitors In some embodiments, disclosed herein are methods of treating cancer by administering immunomodulators. In some embodiments, disclosed herein are methods of treating cancer by administering compounds and cancer immunotherapies of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the cancer immunotherapies target immune checkpoints. In some embodiments, the cancer immunotherapies can block inhibitory checkpoints and restore immune system function. In some embodiments, disclosed herein are methods of treating cancer by administering compounds and antibodies of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, disclosed herein are methods of treating cancer by administering compounds and biologics of the present disclosure.
[0122] Immune checkpoints are costimulatory and inhibitory elements inherent to the immune system. They help maintain self-tolerance and modulate the duration and magnitude of physiological immune responses to reduce damage to tissues when the immune system responds to pathogenic infections. Immune responses can also be initiated when T cells recognize antigens unique to tumor cells (e.g., non-self antigens or tumor neo-antigens) or characteristic of tumor cells (e.g., tumor-associated antigens (TAA)). The balance of costimulatory and inhibitory signals used to control immune responses from T cells can be modulated by immune checkpoint proteins. After T cells mature and are activated in the thymus, they can migrate to sites of inflammation and injury to perform repair functions. T cell function can occur by direct action or by 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 by costimulatory and inhibitory signals, i.e., by immune checkpoint proteins. Tumors can dysregulate checkpoint protein function as an immune tolerance mechanism. Therefore, 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 manipulate IL-2 upstream of the pathway.
[0123] Checkpoint molecules defend against unwanted and harmful immune system activation directed against the self (autoimmunity). These molecules are necessary to help suppress autoimmunity, but can hinder immunotherapies aimed at targeting malignant self-cells that primarily display the same set of surface molecules as the parent cells. Therapies aimed at overcoming these peripheral immune tolerance mechanisms, specifically by blocking inhibitory checkpoints, offer the potential to produce antitumor activity, either as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies that directly or indirectly enhance the presentation of tumor epitopes to the immune system.
[0124] Immune checkpoints can be molecules that regulate inhibitory signaling pathways (e.g., LAG3, CTLA4, PD-1, and TIM3) or molecules that regulate stimulatory signaling pathways (e.g., by ICOS). Some proteins in the broad immunoglobulin superfamily can be ligands for immune checkpoints. Non-limiting examples of immune checkpoint ligand proteins include B7-H4, ICOSL, PD-L1, PD-L2, CD40L, OX40L, CD86, and CD137L.
[0125] 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 a cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein (CISH).
[0126] PD-1 is an inhibitory receptor of the CD28 / CTLA4 family that mediates the activation of activated T lymphocytes, B cells, monocytes, DCs, NK cells, and T regsIt is expressed on the surface of the immune system. The main role of PD-1, in contrast to CTLA4, is to limit T cell activation in peripheral tissues at the time of inflammatory response to infection and to limit autoimmunity. Chronic antigen exposure can result in persistently high levels of PD-1 expression. This expression can induce exhaustion or an anergic state of antigen-specific T cells. This state can be at least partially reversed by blockade of PD-1.
[0127] Two ligands of PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2, are expressed on T cells, APCs, and malignant cells. Their ligands function to suppress autoreactive lymphocytes and inhibit the effector function of TAA-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Thus, therapies targeting PD-1, PD-L1, or PD-L2 have the potential to restore the cytotoxic activity of TAA-specific T cells.
[0128] Upon ligand engagement, PD-1, through the phosphatase SHP2, can inhibit kinases involved in T cell activation. PD-1 can limit T cell activation in peripheral tissues at the time of inflammatory response to infection and limit autoimmunity. Reduced T cell proliferation can result in reduced IL-2 secretion. PD-1 also inhibits T regs It can be highly expressed on the T regs The tumor can increase the proliferation of T regs can be highly invasive, therefore, blockade of PD-1 may reduce the intratumoral T regs It can reduce the immunosuppressive function of
[0129] PD-1 can also enhance NK activity in tumors or tissues due to its widespread expression pattern. +It can increase antibody production via B cells. Chronic antigen exposure, as observed in viral infections 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 by blocking PD-1.
[0130] PD-1 can also be expressed on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in many tumor types. + Enhanced cellular PD-1 expression may reflect high expression of PD-1 on regulatory T cells within the tumor. PD-1 is a CD8 + It can also be highly expressed on lymphocytes from many tumors, and may 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 tumor cell surfaces. PD-L1 can be highly expressed, for example, on melanoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer cells. PD-L2 can be highly expressed, for example, on 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, kidney, lung, and melanoma. Treatments that directly target PD-1 or target the interaction of PD-1 with its ligand include nivolumab, pembrolizumab, pidilizumab, and AMP-224.
[0131] In some embodiments, the anti-PD-1 antibody is pembrolizumab. In some embodiments, the anti-PD-1 antibody is nivolumab. In some embodiments, the anti-PD-1 antibody is pidilizumab. Non-limiting examples of anti-PD-1 antibodies include AGEN-2034, AMP-224, BCD-100, BGBA-317, BI-754091, CBT-501, CC-90006, cemiplimab, durvalumab + MEDI-0680, GLS-010, IBI-308, JNJ-3283, JS-001, MEDI-0680, MGA-012, MGD-013, pazopanib hydrochloride + pembrolizumab, PDR-001, PF-06801591, REGN-2810, SHR-1210, TSR-042, LZM-009, and ABBV-181.
[0132] In some embodiments, the anti-PD-Ll antibody is, for example, durvalumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, CX-072, BMS-936559, SHR-1316, M-7824, LY-3300054, FAZ-053, KN-035, CA-170, CK-301, CS-1001, HLX-10, MCLA-145, MSB-2311, or MEDI-4736.
[0133] LAG3 (lymphocyte activation gene 3) is expressed on activated antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells and can enhance regulatory T cell function and independently inhibit CD8+ effector T cell activity. LAG3 is a CD-4-like negative regulatory protein that has a high affinity binding site for MHC class II that is upregulated on some epithelial cancers and confers resistance to T cell proliferation and homeostasis. Blocking LAG-3 / class II interaction using LAG-3-IG fusion protein enhances antitumor immune responses. Therapeutic agents targeting LAG3 include IMP321 and other monoclonal antibodies.
[0134] 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 of subjects with melanoma, and BTLA-expressing T cells can be inhibited in the presence of HVEM.
[0135] KIRs (Killer Immunoglobulin-Like Receptors) are expressed by natural killer (NK) cells and a subset of T lymphocytes. KIRs are cell surface inhibitory receptors that are mostly 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. When KIRs are blocked, NK cell activation and function can be blocked.
[0136] CTLA4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4) is also known as CD152 (Cluster of Differentiation 152). CTLA4 shares sequence homology and ligands (CD80 / B7-1 and CD86 / B7-2) with the costimulatory molecule CD28, but differs in that it delivers an inhibitory signal to T cells that express CTLA4 as a receptor. CTLA4 has a fairly high overall affinity for both ligands and can compete and outcompete CD28 for binding when ligand density is limiting.
[0137] CTLA4 is expressed on the surface of CD8+ effector T cells and plays a functional role in the early activation stages of both naive and memory T cells. CTLA4 opposes the activity of CD28 by increasing its affinity for CD80 and CD86 during the early stages of T cell activation. The main functions of CTLA4 include down-modulation of helper T cells and enhancing the immunosuppressive activity of regulatory T cells. Evidence for the importance of CTLA4 can be demonstrated by the lethal systemic immune hyperactivation phenotype in Ctla4- / - mice.
[0138] CTLA4 can also downregulate immune system function by inhibiting IL-2 production and IL-2 receptor expression.CTLA4 can inhibit the CD28-dependent upregulation of IL-2, and inhibiting IL-2 production can lead to cell cycle arrest.The reduction of IL-2 and subsequent cell cycle arrest can be the cause of the reduced T cell proliferation observed in the presence of CTLA4.
[0139] CTLA4 contains an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail. There are alternative transcriptional splice variants that code for various isoforms. The membrane-bound isoforms can function as homodimers interconnected by disulfide bonds, and the soluble isoforms can function as monomers. Mutations in CTLA4 can be associated with, for example, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, celiac disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid-associated orbitopathy, and other autoimmune diseases.
[0140] Therapies that target CTLA4 can be developed to circumvent tumor resistance mechanisms. Inhibition of CTLA4 can result in a broad enhancement of immune responses that depend on helper T cells. Thus, therapeutic agents aimed at blocking CTLA4 can help evade tumor cell resistance mechanisms. Examples of therapies that target CTLA4 include ipilimumab and tremelimumab, which are monoclonal antibodies that can target CTLA4 and can be used, for example, to treat melanoma. Therapies can also be directed to increasing the activity of CTLA4 for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Fusion proteins of CTLA4 and antibodies can increase the immune response, for example, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or in patients undergoing kidney transplants who are sensitized to Epstein-Barr virus (EPV).
[0141] ICOS (inducible T cell costimulatory molecule), also known as CD278, is a CD28-superfamily costimulatory molecule expressed on activated T cells. CD40 and CD134 are further examples of costimulatory molecules.
[0142] TIM3 (T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3), also known as Hepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2 (HAVCR2), is a Th1-specific cell surface protein that regulates macrophage activation. TIM3 can inhibit helper T cell responses through 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 T cell proliferation and cytokine production.
[0143] Four types of adenosine receptors, namely A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 receptors, are expressed on the surface of immune cells. The main subtype expressed on T cells is the A2A adenosine receptor (A2aR). Immunosuppressive signaling by the A2aR receptor can function to control the cytokine secretion pattern of NK cells and protect inflamed tissues from excessive damage by immune cells. The A2aR receptor inhibits T cell responses by driving CD4+ T cells to express FOXP3 (forkhead box P3). In turn, FOXP3 can drive CD4+ T cells to develop into regulatory T cells. Deletion of A2aR can result in pathological inflammatory responses to infection.
[0144] B7-H3 can costimulate the proliferation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, enhance the induction of cytotoxic T cells, and selectively stimulate interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production in the presence of T cell receptor signaling. The B7-H3 receptor can be expressed on dendritic cells and monocytes.
[0145] B7-H4, also known as B7S1 or B7x, is a co-inhibitory member of the B7 family that negatively regulates neutrophil-mediated innate immune responses. B7-H4 receptors can be expressed on B cells and antigen-presenting cells. B7-H4 receptors can also be overexpressed in breast, ovarian, lung cancer, and other solid tumors.

[0169] Tumor response according to the methods disclosed herein can be measured based on RECIST response classification. EXAMPLES
[0170] Example 1 Studies to evaluate the oral pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein for treating a disease of interest Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled in the Rigosertib Dose Escalation Study in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer to investigate the dose of Rigosertib in combination with Nivolumab. The Nivolumab dose is 240mg every 2 weeks or 480mg every 4 weeks. The next Rigosertib dose cohort will be 840mg in the morning and 560mg in the afternoon, given at least 2 hours after the previous meal and 1 hour before each subsequent meal. The dose increments in the dose escalation 3+3 study will be 280mg each, with the morning dose being increased first in the next cohort, followed by the afternoon dose being increased, e.g., 840mg / 560mg, then 840mg / 840mg, then 1,120mg / 840mg (morning and afternoon, respectively). For each 3+3 dose escalation study, the MTD and RP2D will be determined based on DLT, and an expansion cohort of up to 12 patients will be enrolled after the determination of the RP2D. In addition to evaluating safety and tolerability, efficacy will be measured by overall response rate as assessed by iRECIST.
[0171] After determination of the RP2D, a randomized controlled Phase 2 study will be conducted combining rigosertib with nivolumab. Approximately 200 patients will be enrolled in a 1:1 ratio to receive either nivolumab + placebo or nivolumab + rigosertib. The primary outcome will be a statistical comparison between progression-free survival (PFS) rates, with overall survival (OS) as a secondary endpoint.
[0172] Example 2 Studies to evaluate the intravenous pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein for treating diseases in subjects Approximately 30 patients will be enrolled in an IV rigosertib dose escalation study in colorectal cancer to determine the MTD in combination with nivolumab. The study will be conducted in combination with standard dose checkpoint inhibition, per label. The initial dose of IV rigosertib given in combination will be 1,200 mg / 24 hours, given as a continuous infusion (CIV) on days 1-3 of a 14-day cycle. The next rigosertib dose cohort will be 1,500 mg / 24 hours, given as a continuous infusion (CIV) on days 1-3 of a 14-day cycle. Dose increments for the dose escalation 3+3 study will be 300 mg / 24 hours each (1,800 mg, 2,100 mg, 2,400 mg, etc.). For each 3+3 dose escalation study, the MTD and RP2D will be determined based on DLTs, and an expansion cohort of up to 12 patients will be enrolled at the RP2D following determination of the RP2D. In addition to evaluating safety and tolerability, efficacy will be measured by overall response rate as assessed by iRECIST.
[0173] After the RP2D is determined, a randomized controlled Phase 2 study will be conducted in combination with nivolumab. Approximately 200 patients will be enrolled in a 1:1 ratio to receive either nivolumab + placebo or nivolumab + rigosertib. The primary outcome will be a statistical comparison between progression-free survival (PFS) rates, with overall survival (OS) as a secondary endpoint.
[0174] Example 3 Studies to evaluate the PK / PD results for the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein for treating a disease of interest Biomarker or protein levels are measured in cancer cell samples collected before the start of treatment and at the end of treatment. The effect of rigosertib on RAS mutations in tumors and circulating tumor cells is studied along with the immunological environment of responding patients compared to those not responding to treatment. Specific time points for blood and tissue collection for pharmacodynamic evaluation are determined by protocol. Pharmacodynamic data are tabulated and summarized by individual patient and by dose level. Graphical displays are provided when useful for interpretation of results.
[0175] Results available from previous genetic and biomarker testing, as well as further testing of blood and liquid cancer cell samples for biomarkers related to the safety and efficacy of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein, can be examined for possible correlations with patient outcomes.
[0176] Example 4 An animal model to test the activity of rigosertib with immune checkpoint inhibitors in RAS-mutated cancers KRAS has been identified to be mutated in several tumor types, including lung, gastrointestinal (colon), pancreatic, skin, breast, hematopoietic tissue, gynecological, testicular, and urological tumors. In addition to mutations, other perturbations of the KRAS pathway can occur, leading to activation of the pathway, such as the amplification of wild-type KRAS. Identification of specific KRAS shows that the majority of mutations occur primarily at G12 and G13 amino acids, with mutations that change G to C (G12C and G13C, respectively). In addition, G12D, G12V, G12R, and G12A mutations are also considered clinically relevant and cancer-specific.
[0177] Multiple mouse models are used to test the efficacy of rigosertib in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors in RAS-mutated cancers. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, including samples obtained from NSCLC, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer patients, are used for the experiments. The specific PDX model used is determined based on the KRAS mutation status of the patient's sample. Tumors are analyzed by genome sequencing to determine KRAS mutations and any other driver mutations or amplifications in other known cell cycle or survival signaling pathways.
[0178] Patient-derived samples are studied in humanized mice. As optimal activity of checkpoint inhibitors requires an intact immune system, studies are performed in specific immunocompetent mouse models. For humanized mouse models, mice with severe combined immunodeficiency that are transplanted with hematopoietic stem cells or human peripheral blood cells are routinely used. After transplantation, mice are engrafted with KRAS-driven PDX lines and treated as described below.
[0179] In addition to humanized models using PDX models, the combination of rigosertib with checkpoint inhibitors will be studied in mouse syngeneic models that utilize allografts of KRAS-driven tumor cells derived from the very mouse strain in which the tumor is engrafted, protecting it from rejection. A third model uses mouse models that are genetically engineered to express human immune components (GEMMS) that also carry genetically defined KRAS mutation-driven cancers.
[0180] Animal assays will establish the ability of rigosertib to synergize or act additively with the activity of checkpoint inhibitors. This study will also address different dosing and scheduling of rigosertib, and how dosing affects the efficacy of rigosertib-checkpoint inhibitor combination treatment.
[0181] Humanized mice are implanted subcutaneously or orthotopically with patient-derived tumor tissue. Syngeneic mice are implanted subcutaneously with KRAS-activated cells with the same genetic background as the mouse strain receiving the implant. Tumors are grown to tumor volumes of 50 mm 3 Once enough animals have tumors of similar tumor volume, the mice are treated with rigosertib and a checkpoint inhibitor.
[0182] Rigosertib is administered at various doses and schedules. Rigosertib is administered by oral gavage at 50mg / kg (HED=243.9), 100mg / kg (HED:487.8mg), 150mg / kg (HED 731.7mg), 200mg / kg (HED=975mg), 250mg / kg (HED=1219.8mg), or 300mg / kg (HED=1463.4mg). The schedule is each dose BID. The schedule is further modified to mimic the schedule in humans and reduce potential toxicity, resulting in the following schedule: 150mg / kg, 200mg / kg, 250mg / kg, and 300mg / kg in the morning, followed by a higher dose in the afternoon (Table 4). [Table 4]
[0183] Animals receiving checkpoint inhibitors are dosed on a clinically relevant schedule. For example, nivolumab is tested at a dose range between 5-30 mg / kg, administered 1-2 times per week via intraperitoneal injection. Pembrolizumab is administered at 5-10 mg / kg every 3-5 days via intraperitoneal injection. For the syngeneic model, murine 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, checkpoint inhibitors alone, and appropriate vehicle controls.
[0184] The evaluation of the growth inhibitory activity of each drug is determined by two criteria: tumor growth and life expectancy extension (ILS). Tumor growth is monitored by determining the tumor volume. Tumor size is calculated according to the formula W 2 The ILS is calculated according to the following formula: (mean survival of the treatment group) / (mean survival of the vehicle control)-1×100. The second criterion (used for the leukemia model) measures the extension of the ILS. The ILS is calculated using the following formula: (mean survival of the treatment group) / (mean survival of the vehicle control)-1×100.
