Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to methods of treating cancer, in particular to methods of treating cancer patients with KRAS mutations. [Background technology]

[0002] The official name of the KRAS gene is Kirsten ratsarcoma viral oncogene homolog. The protein encoded by the KRAS gene is a small GTPase that belongs to the RAS protein superfamily. There are three types of RAS genes: KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS. The proteins encoded by these genes are GTPases and act as molecular switches in pathways that regulate cell proliferation and survival. Based on current COSMIC data, KRAS is the most commonly mutated gene (22%) among the three genes, followed by NRAS (8%) and finally HRAS (3%). The KRAS gene significantly affects human cancer, with KRAS mutations found in approximately 30% of all cancer patients, including 90% of pancreatic cancers, 50% of colon cancers, and 25% of lung cancers. In non-small cell lung cancer, KRAS gene mutations account for 20-30% of cases and are found mainly in lung adenocarcinomas and rarely in lung squamous cell carcinomas. KRAS gene mutations are mainly concentrated in codons 12, 13 and 61, with codon 12 mutations accounting for more than 80% of all mutations, such as G12A, G12C, G12D, G12R, G12S and G12V. The most common way in which the KRAS gene is activated is by point mutation, with 95% of KRAS mutations occurring mainly in codon 12 (>80%) and codon 13 of exon 2. Common mutation forms include KRAS-G12C mutations (accounting for 13% of all KRAS mutations), KRAS-G12V (20%) and KRAS-G12D (29%) mutations (Loong HHF, Du N, Cheng C, Lin H, Guo J, Lin G, Li M, Jiang T, Shi Z, Cui Y, Jin X, Yao J, Xing Y, Yao M, Wang K, Mok TSK, Liu L. KRAS G12C mutations in Asia: A landscape analysis of 11,951 Chinese tumor samples. Transl Lung Cancer Res 2020. doi:10.21037 / tlcr-20-455).

[0003] The G12C mutation in the KRAS gene has been used to design covalent inhibitors with preclinical activity because the mutant contains a cysteine ​​residue (the 12th glycine is changed to cysteine). For example, AMG-510 (the first KRAS-G12C inhibitor in clinical development) and MRTX849 have shown potent antitumor activity.

[0004] On May 29, 2021, sotorasib (AMG-510, Lumakeras), known in the industry as a "game-changing anti-cancer drug" and active against KRAS mutations, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring KRAS-G12C mutations who have previously received at least one systemic therapy. AMG510 is specifically designed for the mutant subtype KRAS-G12C and has high selectivity. AMG510 can specifically bind to KRAS-G12C in over 6,000 proteins, trapping and inactivating it.

[0005] On June 24, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted breakthrough therapy designation to adagrasib (MRTX849) for the treatment of patients with KRAS-G12C mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have previously received systemic therapy. The drug is an oral inhibitor optimized specifically for KRAS-G12C mutants. MRTX849 has shown promising safety and anti-cancer activity, as demonstrated in preliminary human clinical trials, in the treatment of KRAS-G12C mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) as well as other solid tumors by irreversibly and selectively binding to inactive KRAS-G12C, preventing KRAS-G12C from sending cell growth signals and triggering cancer cell death.

[0006] However, there are no commercially available drugs for the broader G12D subtype of KRAS mutations. Summary of the Invention

[0007] AST-3424 (OBI-3424) is a first-in-class DNA alkylating cancer therapeutic that targets overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3), selectively targeting cancers that overexpress AKR1C3 and selectively releasing a potent DNA alkylating agent in the presence of the AKR1C3 enzyme. This selective mode of activation distinguishes AST-3424 from traditional alkylating agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide). Overexpression of AKR1C3 is found in a wide range of treatment-resistant and refractory cancers, including hepatocellular cancer (HCC), castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). AKR1C3 is highly expressed in up to 15 types of solid and hematological tumors. Currently, the drug is in phase II clinical trials in China and the United States (US OBI-3424-NCT03592264-Phase II, castration prostate cancer and liver cancer; US OBI-3424-NCT04315324-Phase II, T-lymphoblastic acute leukemia (T-ALL); China AST-3424-CTR20191399-Phase II, solid tumors; China AST-3424-CTR20201915-Phase II, T-lymphocytic acute leukemia (T-ALL) and B-lymphocytic acute leukemia (B-ALL)).

[0008] AST-3424 and compounds [ka] (hereinafter referred to as AST) has been found to have good therapeutic efficacy against KRAS mutant G12D subtype tumor models with high expression of AKR1C3 in animal in vivo model studies of this drug and similar drugs.

[0009] Based on these experimental results, the present application provides the following cancer treatment methods and medical uses of the compounds.

[0010] A therapy using an agent containing an AKR1C3-activating DNA alkylator prodrug compound as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapeutic agents to treat patients with cancers and tumors that have KRAS mutations.

[0011] 1. A pharmaceutical use of an AKR1C3 activating DNA alkylator prodrug compound, said compound being used in the manufacture of a monotherapy drug or a drug in combination with other therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer and tumor patients with KRAS mutations.

[0012] An AKR1C3-activating DNA alkylating agent prodrug compound means that the compound is a prodrug and that the prodrug molecule reacts with the AKR1C3 enzyme to release a cytotoxic DNA alkylating agent immediately after reaction.

[0013] Specifically, taking AST-3424 as an example, the above compound, which is a specific substrate for the aldo-keto reductase AKR1C3, can be rapidly and effectively reduced only in cancer cells with high expression of AKR1C3, thereby releasing the cytotoxic DNA alkylating agent AST-2660, which crosslinks with DNA and subsequently leads to cancer cell death.

[0068] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka]

[0069] The specific definitions and meanings of each group, as well as the preparation methods and spectral data of each compound are described in PCT / US2016 / 021581, International Publication No. 2016145092 (corresponding to Chinese Patent Application No. 2016800150788, Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 107530556), PCT / US2016 / 062114, International Publication No. 2017087428 (corresponding to Chinese Patent Application No. 2016800446081, Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 108290911), and PCT / CN2020 / 089692, International Publication No. 2020228685, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

[0070] Apparently, the compound of formula (6) is a prodrug of AST-2660, similar to AST-3424 or AST, and can be activated by the AKR1C3 enzyme to form AST-2660 and exert anti-cancer efficacy.

[0073] Monotherapy refers to a single drug therapy. Combination refers to a combination drug therapy. Monotherapy refers to the use of only one anticancer drug during the course of treatment. Combination therapy refers to the use of two or more anticancer drugs simultaneously or sequentially during the course of treatment.

[0074] In general, combination therapy requires consideration of various dosages and administration cycles depending on the characteristics of the disease and the types of drugs used in combination, and only in accordance with the above circumstances can the combination therapy plan obtained from such consideration achieve better therapeutic effects than monotherapy.

[0075] For both monotherapy and combination therapy regimens, the dosage and administration cycle of the drugs should be explored through clinical trials with reference to the dosage and administration regimens of AST-3424 and its analogs, as well as the other drugs listed above.

[0076] The dosage for monotherapy can be determined with reference to the dosages for animal experiments in International Publication Nos. 2019062919, 2016145092, and 2017087428.

[0077] Further, the KRAS mutation is selected from the group consisting of a KRAS-G12D mutation, a KRAS-G12V mutation, and a KRAS-G12C mutation.

[0078] Mutations in one or both of the genes corresponding to KRAS can be detected and diagnosed using commercially available (companion) diagnostic kits, such as those approved in China: Amoy Dx, National Device Registration 20153401126, Human KRAS Gene Mutation Detection Kit (Fluorescent PCR Method), Tellgen, National Device Registration 20163401341, Human K-RAS Gene 7 Mutation Detection Kit (PCR Fluorescence Method) There is.

[0079] Apparently, next-generation sequencer (NGS) sequencing (YS 450 gene NGS large panel) can also be used to determine the specific KRAS mutation subtype.

[0080] More preferably, the KRAS mutation is selected from the KRAS-G12D mutation.

[0081] The tumor mutation load (burden) level of the described genetic alterations is intermediate.

[0082] Tumor mutation burden (TMB) can vary from high to low depending on the type of tumor. In general, a TMB with more than 20 mutations / Mb (Mb stands for bases per million bases) is considered high, a TMB with less than 10 mutations / Mb is considered low, and anything in between is considered moderate. At the 2017 World Lung Cancer Conference, Squibb presented the results of a clinical trial called CheckMate-032. This was a phase II clinical trial of 401 patients with advanced lung cancer who had failed first-line therapy and were treated with a PD-1 inhibitor alone or in combination with ipilimumab. The patients were divided into three categories according to their TMB levels: high, intermediate, and low TMB patients. In patients who received the combination therapy, the efficiencies of the three groups were 62%, 20%, and 23%, respectively, with the high TMB group being three times more efficient than the other two groups. The median overall survival for the three groups was 22.0 months, 3.6 months, and 3.4 months, respectively - a six-fold difference between 22.0 and 3.4 months! This study demonstrated that for a range of cancer drugs, differences in TMB levels can have a significant impact on drug efficacy.

[0083] In addition, the prodrug compound is [ka] It is preferably selected from the group consisting of:

[0084] The aforementioned cancers are selected from the group consisting of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer, lung cancer and bladder cancer.

[0085] The other therapeutic agent is selected from the group consisting of a KRAS inhibitor and an immunotherapeutic agent (immune checkpoint inhibitor).

[0086] KRAS inhibitors are substances that inhibit KRAS enzyme activity. For details, please refer to the review article Goebel, Lisa & Muller, Matthias & Goody, Roger & Rauh, Daniel. (2020). KRasG12C inhibitors in clinical trials: A short historical perspective. RSC Medicinal Chemistry. 11.10.1039 / D0MD00096E.

[0087] KRAS inhibitors that have entered clinical development or are already on the market include sotorasibe (AMG510) developed by Amgen in the United States, adagrasib (MRTX849) developed by Mirati Therapeutics, GDC6036 developed by Roche, LY3499446 developed by Lilly, JNJ74699157 (ARS3248) co-developed by Araxes and Janssen, D-1553 developed by InventisBio, JAB-3312 developed by Jacobio Pharma, JAB-3068 developed by Jacobio Pharma, GH35 developed by Gen House, and Betta Pharma.

[0090] Immune checkpoint molecules are regulatory molecules in the immune system that play an inhibitory role and are essential for maintaining self-tolerance, preventing autoimmune reactions, and minimizing tissue damage by controlling the timing and strength of immune responses. Immune checkpoint molecules are expressed in immune cells and inhibit the function of immune cells, thereby preventing the body from generating an effective antitumor immune response and causing immune escape of tumors. Immune checkpoint molecules associated with tumors include PD1, PD-L1, CTLA4, Tim3, and LAG3. Currently, PD1, PD-L1, and CTLA4 are more frequently studied. There are several monoclonal antibody drugs developed for immune checkpoint inhibitors that are directed against the corresponding immune checkpoints. Their main function is to block the inhibitory effect of tumor cells on immune cells by blocking the interaction between immune cells and tumor cells that express immune checkpoints. The immunotherapy drug is selected from the group consisting of PD-1 monoclonal antibodies and PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies.

[0091] Preferably, the cancer or tumor is selected from the group consisting of gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer.

[0108] A specific experiment of the present invention is shown below.

[0109] 1. Pharmacodynamic evaluation of test substances AST, AST-3424 and ifosfamide in the HuPrime® gastric cancer GA6201 subcutaneous xenograft model The HuPrime® gastric cancer GA6201 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model was used as a model of KRAS pathogenic mutation with G12D amino acid mutation (KRAS-G12D). To establish a subcutaneously transplanted tumor model of human gastric cancer, HuPrime® model GA6201 tumor blocks were subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c nude mice. The study was divided into five groups, including a 60 mg / kg group of the test drug ifosfamide, a 5 mg / kg group of the test drug AST-3424, a 2.5 mg / kg group and a 5 mg / kg group of AST, and a physiological saline (pH 7.0-7.6) vehicle control group, with five mice in each group. Among the above, the physiological saline (pH 7.0-7.6) vehicle control group, the test drug AST-3424 5mg / kg group, and the AST 2.5mg / kg and 5mg / kg groups were administered once a week via tail vein injection for a total of 3 weeks and observed for 4 weeks. The ifosfamide 60mg / kg group was administered by intraperitoneal injection for 5 consecutive days a week with a 2-day break for a total of 2 weeks and observed for 5 weeks. The therapeutic effect was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI (%)), and the safety was evaluated based on the weight change and death status of the animals.

[0110] The specific dosing regimen for each group is shown in Table 1 below.

[0111] [Table 1]

[0112] The tumor volumes of the mice in the various groups were measured on various days and the average values ​​were obtained, the results of which are shown in Table 2 below.

[0113] [Table 2]

[0114] According to the data in Table 2, Figure 2 was prepared showing the tumor growth in each treatment group and the control group.

[0115] The efficacy evaluation and analytical data were prepared according to the data in Table 2. Specific data are shown in Table 3.

[0116] [Table 3]

[0117] The relative tumor growth rate (T / C%) in Table 3 was the percentage of relative tumor volume or tumor weight between the treatment group and the control group at a particular time point. The calculation formula was as follows:

[0118] T / C%=TRTV / CRTV×100% (TRTV: mean RTV of the treatment group, CRTV: mean RTV of the vehicle control group, RTV=Vt / V0, V0 is the tumor volume of the animals at the time of grouping, and Vt is the tumor volume of the animals after treatment).

[0119] Relative tumor growth inhibition (TGI(%)) was calculated as follows: TGI%=(1-T / C)×100%, where T and C were the mean relative tumor volume (RTV) of the treatment and control groups, respectively, at a particular time point.

[0120] [Table 4]

[0121] Table 4 above was graphed into Figure 2.

[0122] The body weights of the mice in the various groups were measured on various days and the average values ​​were obtained, the results of which are shown in Table 5 below.

[0123] [Table 5]

[0124] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain FIG. 3, which shows the body weight curves for each mouse group in the HuPrime® gastric cancer GA6201 model.

[0125] Similarly, the data in Table 5 was processed to obtain Table 6 below.

[0126] [Table 6]

[0127] Group01, Group02, Group03, Group04 and Group05 in Tables 4 / 5 / 6 above correspond to the above-mentioned Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 14 / 15 / 16 / 17 / 18 / 21 / 24 / 28 / 31 / 35 / 38 are the number of days after vaccination.

[0128] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain Figure 4.

[0129] Analysis of the experimental data reveals the following regarding the treatment effects:

[0130] The test drug AST-3424 at a dose of 5 mg / kg, and the test drug AST at doses of 2.5 mg / kg and 5 mg / kg had a significant inhibitory effect on the tumor growth of HuPrime® gastric cancer GA6201 with statistically significant difference compared to the control group.

[0131] The test drug ifosfamide at a dose of 60 mg / kg had a certain inhibitory effect on the tumor growth of HuPrime® gastric cancer GA6201, but there was no statistically significant difference compared with the control group.

[0132] Analysis of the experimental data showed that ifosfamide, AST-3424, and AST were well tolerated by tumor-bearing mice at the doses tested.

[0133] 2. Pharmacodynamic and safety evaluation of test articles AST and gemcitabine in the HuPrime® PA1222 pancreatic cancer subcutaneous xenograft model HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1222 PDX model was used as a model of KRAS pathogenic mutation with G12D amino acid mutation (KRAS-G12D). To establish a subcutaneously transplanted tumor model of human pancreatic cancer, HuPrime® model PA1222 tumor block was subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c nude mice. The study was divided into three groups: 120mg / kg test drug gemcitabine group, 10mg / kg test drug AST group, and 7.5% absolute ethanol + 7.5% polyoxyethylene (35) castor oil + 85% glucose injection D5W (pH 7.4) vehicle control group, with 5 mice in each group. Among the above, the 7.5% absolute ethanol + 7.5% polyoxyethylene (35) castor oil + 85% glucose injection D5W (pH 7.4) vehicle control group and the test drug AST 10 mg / kg group were administered once a week for three consecutive weeks via tail vein injection. The test drug gemcitabine 120 mg / kg group was administered once a week for three consecutive weeks via intraperitoneal injection. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI (%)), and the safety was evaluated based on the weight change and death status of the animals.

[0134] The specific dosing regimen for each group is shown in Table 7 below.

[0135] [Table 7] Note: 1. Dosing volume was 10 μl / g. 2. QW×3: administered once a week for 3 weeks.

[0136] Tumor volumes of mice in different groups were measured on different days and average values ​​were obtained, the results of which are shown in Table 8 below.

[0137] [Table 8]

[0138] The tumor growth in each treatment group and the control group is shown in Table 8 and FIG. 5, and the efficacy evaluation is shown in Table 9.

[0139] [Table 9]

[0140] The relative tumor growth rate (T / C%) in Table 9 was the percentage of relative tumor volume or tumor weight between the treatment group and the control group at a particular time point. The calculation formula was as follows:

[0141] T / C%=TRTV / CRTV×100% (TRTV: mean RTV of the treatment group, CRTV: mean RTV of the vehicle control group, RTV=Vt / V0, V0 is the tumor volume of the animals at the time of grouping, and Vt is the tumor volume of the animals after treatment).

[0142] Relative tumor growth inhibition (TGI(%)) was calculated as follows: TGI%=(1-T / C)×100%, where T and C were the mean relative tumor volumes (RTV) of the treatment and control groups, respectively, at a particular time point.

[0143] [Table 10]

[0144] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain Figure 6.

[0145] The body weights of the mice in the various groups were measured on various days and the average values ​​were obtained, the results of which are shown in Table 11 below.

[0146] [Table 11]

[0147] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain FIG. 7, which shows the body weight curves for each mouse group in the HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1222 model.

[0148] Similarly, the data in Table 11 was processed to obtain Table 12 below.

[0149] [Table 12]

[0150] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain Figure 8.

[0151] Analysis of the experimental data reveals the following regarding the treatment effects:

[0152] The test drug gemcitabine at a dose of 120 mg / kg (group 2) had a certain inhibitory effect on the tumor growth of HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1222 with a statistically significant difference compared to the control group. The test drug AST at a dose of 10 mg / kg (group 3) had a significant inhibitory effect on the tumor growth of HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1222 with a statistically significant difference compared to the control group. Two mice in this group were cured of tumors, with a cure rate of 40% each. The tumor inhibitory effect of the test drug AST at 10 mg / kg (group 3) was significantly better than that of the test drug gemcitabine (120 mg / kg, group 2) (p=0.000778).

[0153] Analysis of the experimental data showed that mice treated with the test drug gemcitabine (120 mg / kg, group 2), AST at 10 mg / kg (group 3) and the control group (group 1) did not experience any obvious weight loss during the treatment period and were well tolerated.

[0154] 3. Pharmacodynamic and safety evaluation of test substances AST and cisplatin in HuPrime® lung cancer LU11693 subcutaneous xenograft model HuPrime® lung cancer LU11693 PDX model was used as a model of KRAS pathogenic mutation with G12C amino acid mutation. To establish a subcutaneously transplanted tumor model of human lung cancer, HuPrime® model LU11693 tumor block was subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c nude mice. The study was divided into three groups, including a 4mg / kg group of test drug cisplatin, a 10mg / kg group of test drug AST, and a 7.5% absolute ethanol + 7.5% polyoxyethylene (35) castor oil + 85% glucose injection D5W (pH 7.4) vehicle control group, with six mice in each group. Mice in each group were administered once a week via tail vein injection for three consecutive weeks. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI (%)), and the safety was evaluated based on the weight change and death status of the animals.

[0155] The specific dosing regimen for each group is shown in Table 13 below.

[0156] [Table 13] Note: 1. Dosing volume was 10 μl / g. 2. QW×3: administered once a week for 3 weeks.

[0157] Tumor volumes of mice in different groups were measured on different days and average values ​​were obtained, the results of which are shown in Table 14 below.

[0158] [Table 14]

[0159] The tumor growth in each treatment group and the control group is shown in Table 14 and FIG. 9, and the efficacy evaluation is shown in Table 15.

[0160] [Table 15]

[0161] The relative tumor growth rate (T / C%) in Table 15 was the percentage of relative tumor volume or tumor weight between the treatment group and the control group at a particular time point. The calculation formula was as follows:

[0162] T / C%=TRTV / CRTV×100% (TRTV: mean RTV of the treatment group, CRTV: mean RTV of the vehicle control group, RTV=Vt / V0, V0 is the tumor volume of the animals at the time of grouping, and Vt is the tumor volume of the animals after treatment).

[0163] Relative tumor growth inhibition (TGI(%)) was calculated as follows: TGI%=(1-T / C)×100%, where T and C were the mean relative tumor volumes (RTV) of the treatment and control groups, respectively, at a particular time point.

[0164] [Table 16]

[0165] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain Figure 10.

[0166] The body weights of the mice in the various groups were measured on various days and the average values ​​were obtained, the results of which are shown in Table 17 below.

[0167] [Table 17]

[0168] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain FIG. 11, which shows the body weight curves for each mouse group in the HuPrime® lung cancer LU11693 model.

[0169] Similarly, the data in Table 17 was processed to obtain Table 18 below.

[0170] [Table 18]

[0171] The above table was plotted as a curve to obtain Figure 12.

[0172] Analysis of the experimental data reveals the following regarding the treatment effects:

[0173] The test drug cisplatin (4 mg / kg) treatment group showed a certain tumor inhibition effect with statistical significance (p=0.0152) compared to the control group on the 28th day after the first administration, with a relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) of 23.98%.

[0174] The test drug AST (10 mg / kg) treatment group showed a certain tumor inhibition effect with statistical significance (p<0.001) compared with the control group on the 28th day after the first administration, and the relative tumor growth inhibition rate TGI (%) was 54.64%, but the TGI was less than 60%, indicating no obvious tumor inhibition effect.

[0175] Analysis of the experimental data showed that some mice in the treatment groups with the test drugs AST (10 mg / kg) and cisplatin (4 mg / kg) experienced severe weight loss, which may be related to the potential toxicity of the high dose drugs.

[0176] From the above three sets of experimental data, the following conclusions can be drawn.

[0177] 1.Both AST-3424 and AST had significant efficacy in the GA6021 gastric cancer and PA1222 pancreatic cancer PDX models, which are KRAS pathogenic mutation models harboring the G12D amino acid mutation, with TGI% exceeding 90%.

[0178] 2. The tumor inhibitory effect of AST in lung cancer LU11693, a model of KRAS pathogenic mutations with the G12C amino acid mutation, was unclear, with the TGI% being less than 60%.

[0179] 3. Both AST-3424 and AST were relatively well tolerated in each model.

[0180] Through further research, the present inventors have found that in KRAS pathogenic mutation models with G12D amino acid mutation, AST-3424 and AST have generally significant therapeutic effects on various cancer indications. In KRAS pathogenic mutation models with G12C amino acid mutation, the therapeutic effect of AST is related not only to the type of cancer but also to other factors.

[0181] 4. Antitumor effects and safety evaluation of test substances AST, AST-3424 and ifosfamide in human pancreatic cancer HPAF-II subcutaneous xenograft model The human-derived pancreatic cancer HPAF-II subcutaneous xenograft model was used as a CDX model harboring the KRAS G12D pathogenic mutation.

[0182] To establish a subcutaneous transplant model of human pancreatic cancer, human pancreatic cancer HPAF-II cells were subcutaneously inoculated into BALB / c nude female mice. The study was divided into the following groups: Test drug treatment groups Ifosfamide 60mg / kg monotherapy group (group 2) was intraperitoneally administered once a day for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, and then administered once a day for 5 consecutive days; AST 4mg / kg monotherapy group (group 3) was administered via tail vein once a day for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, then rested for 2 weeks, and then administered once a day for 5 consecutive days; AST 8mg / kg monotherapy group (group 4) was administered via tail vein once a week for a total of 3 weeks. the AST-3424 1 mg / kg monotherapy group (Group 5) was administered once daily through the tail vein for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, then rested for 2 weeks, and then administered again once daily for 5 consecutive days; and the glucose injection (pH 7.7-8.0) vehicle control group (Group 1) was administered once daily through the tail vein for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, then rested for 2 weeks, and then administered again once daily for 5 consecutive days. There were a total of 5 groups in this study, with 6 mice in each group. The route, amount, and regimen of administration for the experimental design are shown in Table 19.

[0183] [Table 19]

[0184] In this application, the abbreviations for the administration route are: iv: tail vein injection, ip: intraperitoneal injection, the abbreviations for the dosing cycle are: QW: once a week, QD: once a day, and "QD*5, 2 days rest, 2 weeks rest, QD*5" means administration once a day for 5 consecutive days, followed by 2 days of rest, then 2 weeks of rest, followed by administration again once a day for 5 consecutive days.

[0185] Tumor growth was recorded for each treatment group and control group on various days of the study, as shown in Table 20. The corresponding growth curves of tumor volume in each mouse group were shown in Figure 13. The therapeutic effect was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth rate and the relative tumor growth inhibition rate. The efficacy analysis of each group was shown in Table 21. The body weight change of the treatment group and the control group after administration was recorded, and the safety of each group in the human-derived pancreatic cancer HPAF-II subcutaneous xenograft model was investigated. The results of the body weight change of the mice were shown in Table 22. The curve graph of the body weight change percentage over time in each treatment group was shown in Figure 14.

[0186] [Table 20]

[0187] [Table 21]

[0188] [Table 22]

[0189] The mean tumor volume in mice in the vehicle control group was 2212.64 mm3 at 31 days after the first dose. 3 The mean tumor volume at day 31 in the ifosfamide 60 mg / kg treatment group (group 2) was 2678.00 mm 3 The relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) (%) was -14.65%, which was not statistically significant compared to the control group (p>0.05).

[0190] The mean tumor volumes at day 31 for the study drug AST treatment groups at doses of 4 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5) and 8 mg / kg (QW x 3) (Groups 3 and 4) and the AST-3424 group at dose of 1 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5) (Group 5) were 457.66, 170.65, and 685.85 mm, respectively. 3 There was a statistically significant difference compared to the control group (p<0.05), and the relative tumor growth inhibition rates (TGI) (%) were 79.55%, 92.64%, and 69.46%, respectively.

[0191] The above experimental results showed that AST-3424 and AST, i.e., AST at a dose of 8 mg / kg (QW×3), AST at a dose of 4 mg / kg (QD×5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD×5), and AST-3424 at a dose of 1 mg / kg (QD×5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD×5), had significant antitumor effects on the human-derived pancreatic cancer HPAF-II subcutaneous model in the model harboring the KRAS G12D pathogenic mutation. Furthermore, mice in each test drug treatment group did not lose weight during the treatment period and the treatment was well tolerated.

[0192] 5. Antitumor efficacy and safety evaluation of test substances AST, AST-3424 and ifosfamide monotherapy in HuPrime® lung cancer LU5161 subcutaneous model The HuPrime® lung cancer LU5161 subcutaneous model was a PDX model harboring a KRAS G12D pathogenic mutation.

[0193] To establish a subcutaneously transplanted tumor model of human lung cancer, HuPrime® lung cancer LU5161 tumor blocks were subcutaneously inoculated into Balb / nude female mice. The study was divided into the following groups: The test drug ifosfamide 60mg / kg monotherapy group (group 2) was administered once daily for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, and then administered once daily again for 5 consecutive days; AST 4mg / kg monotherapy group (group 3), and AST 8mg / kg monotherapy group (group 4) were administered once a week for a total of 3 weeks; AST 4mg / kg monotherapy group (group 5), and AST-3424 1mg / kg monotherapy group (group 6) were administered once daily for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, then rested for 2 weeks, then administered once daily again for 5 consecutive days; and glucose injection (pH 7.7-8.0) vehicle control group (group 1) was administered once daily for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, then rested for 2 weeks, then administered once daily again for 5 consecutive days. In this study, there were a total of 6 groups, with 6 mice in each group. Among them, the test drug ifosfamide was administered intraperitoneally, and the vehicle control group, AST, and AST-3424 were all administered by tail vein injection. The route of administration, dose, and regimen of the experimental design are shown in Table 23.

[0194] [Table 23]

[0195] Tumor growth was recorded for each treatment group and control group on various days of the study, as shown in Table 24. The corresponding growth curves of tumor volume in each mouse group were shown in Figure 15. The therapeutic effect was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth rate and the relative tumor growth inhibition rate. The efficacy analysis of each group was shown in Table 25. The body weight change of the treatment group and the control group after administration was recorded, and the safety of each group in the HuPrime® lung cancer LU5161 subcutaneous xenograft model was investigated. The results of the body weight change of the mice were shown in Table 26. The curve graph of the body weight change percentage over time in each treatment group was shown in Figure 16.

[0196] [Table 24]

[0197] [Table 25]

[0198] [Table 26]

[0199] The mean tumor volume in mice in the vehicle control group was 2238.97 mm at 28 days after the first dose. 3 The mean tumor volume at day 28 in the group treated with the test drug ifosfamide at a dose of 60 mg / kg (group 2) was 1636.39 mm 3 The relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) (%) was 27.39%, which was not statistically significant compared to the control group (p>0.05).

In all treatment groups for the test drugs AST and AST-3424, one mouse each had tumor elimination, with a elimination rate of 16.7%.

[0201] The above experimental results showed that in models with KRAS G12D pathogenic mutations, AST-3424 and AST, i.e., AST treatment groups at a dose of 4 mg / kg (QW x 3), 8 mg / kg (QW x 3), 4 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5) (Groups 3, 4, and 5), and AST-3424 group at a dose of 1 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5) (Group 6), had significant antitumor effects on the HuPrime® lung cancer LU5161 subcutaneous model at the dosages and dosing frequencies tested in this study. There was no tumor inhibition effect in the ifosfamide-treated group. Mice in each test drug treatment group tolerated the treatment well throughout the treatment period.

[0202] 6. Antitumor efficacy and safety evaluation of test substance AST and ifosfamide monotherapy in HuPrime® colon cancer CR3820 subcutaneous model The HuPrime® colon cancer CR3820 subcutaneous model was a PDX model harboring a KRAS G12D pathogenic mutation.

[0203] To establish a subcutaneously transplanted tumor model of human intestinal cancer, HuPrime® intestinal cancer CR3820 tumor blocks were subcutaneously inoculated into NOD.SCID female mice. The study was divided into the following groups: The test drug ifosfamide 60mg / kg monotherapy group (QD×5 / week×2 weeks, group 2) was administered intraperitoneally once a day for 5 consecutive days, followed by 2 days of rest, then once a day again for 5 days; AST 8mg / kg monotherapy group (QW×3, group 3) was administered once a week through the tail vein for a total of 3 weeks; AST 4mg / kg monotherapy group (QD×5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD×5, group 4) and the vehicle control group glucose injection (pH 7.7-8.0, group 1) were both administered through the tail vein, all with the same dosing cycle of once a day for 5 consecutive days, 2 days of rest, then 2 weeks of rest, then once a day again for 5 consecutive days. In this experiment, there were a total of 4 groups, with 6 mice in each group. The route, amount and regimen of administration of the experimental design are shown in Table 27.

Correspondingly, the curve graph of the body weight change percentage over time in each treatment group was shown in Figure 18.

[0206] [Table 28]

[0207] [Table 29]

[0208] [Table 30]

[0209] The mean tumor volume in mice in the vehicle control group was 1792.37 mm at 24 days after the first dose. 3 The mean tumor volume at day 24 in the study drug ifosfamide treatment group (Group 2) was 1199.09 mm at a dose of 60 mg / kg. 3 The relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) (%) was 37.73%, which was not statistically significant compared to the control group (p>0.05).

The study was divided into the following groups: the test drug ifosfamide 60mg / kg monotherapy treatment group (QD×5 / week×2 weeks, group 2) was intraperitoneally administered once daily for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, and then administered once daily again for 5 consecutive days; AST 8mg / kg monotherapy group (QW×3, group 3) was administered once a week via the tail vein for a total of 3 weeks; AST 4mg / kg monotherapy group (QD×5, rest for 2 days, rest for 2 weeks, QD×5, group 4), AST-3424 1 mg / kg monotherapy group (QD×5, 2 days rest, 2 weeks rest, QD×5, group 5), and vehicle control glucose injection (pH 7.7-8.0, group 1), all administered through the tail vein, all with the same dosing cycle of once daily for 5 consecutive days, 2 days rest, then 2 weeks rest, then again once daily for 5 consecutive days. In this experiment, there were a total of 5 groups, with 6 mice in each group. The route of administration, amount, and regimen of the experimental design are shown in Table 31.

[0214] [Table 31]

[0215] Tumor growth was recorded for each treatment group and control group on various days of the study, as shown in Table 32. The corresponding growth curves of tumor volume in each mouse group were shown in Figure 19. The therapeutic effect was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth rate and the relative tumor growth inhibition rate. The efficacy analysis of each group was shown in Table 33. The body weight change of the treatment group and control group after administration was recorded, and the safety of each group in the HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA2637 subcutaneous xenograft model was investigated. The results of the body weight change of the mice were shown in Table 34. Correspondingly, the curve graph of the body weight change percentage over time in each treatment group was shown in Figure 20.

[0216] [Table 32]

[0217] [Table 33]

[0218] [Table 34]

[0219] The mean tumor volume in mice in the vehicle control group was 977.46 mm3 at 35 days after the first dose. 3 The mean tumor volume at day 35 in the 60 mg / kg ifosfamide treatment group (group 2) was 938.33 mm 3 The relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) (%) was 2.74%, which was not statistically significant compared to the control group (p>0.05).

[0220] The mean tumor volume at day 35 for the AST treatment group at a dose of 8 mg / kg (QW x 3, group 3), the AST treatment group at a dose of 4 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5, group 4), and the AST treatment group at a dose of 1 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5, group 5) was 123.47 mm 3 , 141.48mm 3 and 186.08 mm 3 The relative tumor growth inhibition rates (TGI) (%) were 87.28%, 85.46% and 80.78%, respectively, which showed statistically significant differences compared to the control group (p<0.001).

[0221] The above experimental results showed that in models with KRAS G12D pathogenic mutations, AST and AST-3424, i.e., AST at 8mg / kg (QWx3, group 3), 4mg / kg (QDx5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QDx5, group 4), and AST-3424 at 1mg / kg (QDx5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QDx5, group 5), had statistically significant antitumor effects against the HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA2637 subcutaneous model at the dosages and dosing frequencies tested in this experiment.

[0224] [Table 35]

[0225] Tumor growth was recorded for each treatment group and control group on various days of the study, as shown in Table 36. The corresponding growth curves of tumor volume in each mouse group were shown in Figure 21. The therapeutic effect was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth rate and the relative tumor growth inhibition rate. The efficacy analysis of each group was shown in Table 37. The body weight change of the treatment group and control group after administration was recorded to investigate the safety of each group in the HuPrime® lung cancer LU11873 subcutaneous xenograft model. The results of the body weight change of the mice were shown in Table 38. Correspondingly, the curve graph of the body weight change percentage over time in each treatment group was shown in Figure 22.

[0226] [Table 36]

[0227] [Table 37]

[0228] [Table 38]

[0229] The mean tumor volume in mice in the vehicle control group was 1677.89 mm3 at 31 days after the first dose. 3 The mean tumor volume at day 31 in the 60 mg / kg ifosfamide treatment group (group 2) was 1866.37 mm 3 The relative tumor growth inhibition (TGI) (%) was -10.08%, which was not statistically significant compared to the control group (p>0.05). The mean tumor volume at day 31 in the test drug AST treatment group (Group 5) at a dose of 4 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5) was 406.40 mm 3 There was a statistically significant difference compared to the control group (p>0.05), and the relative tumor growth inhibition rate (TGI) (%) was 75.16%.

[0230] The above experimental results showed that in models with KRAS G12C pathogenic mutation, the test drug AST treatment group (group 5) with AST, i.e., a dose of 4 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5) had a significant antitumor effect on the HuPrime® lung cancer LU11873 subcutaneous model at the dosage and dosing frequency tested in this study. There was no tumor inhibition effect in the ifosfamide treatment group. During the experiment, mice in each test drug treatment group did not lose any weight during the treatment period and were well tolerated.

[0231] Specifically, the applicant found in Example 3 that the AST in the KRAS pathogenic mutation model lung cancer LU11693 having a G12C amino acid mutation had a TGI% of 54.64% at a dose of 10 mg / kg, and had no significant antitumor effect. On the other hand, in this Example, the AST in the KRAS pathogenic mutation model lung cancer LU11873 having a G12C amino acid mutation had a TGI% of 75.16% at a dose of 4 mg / kg, and had a significant antitumor effect. The difference between these two models was significant, indicating that there may be some differences between these two PDX models. This can be seen from the data on the origin of these models.

[0232] LU11693 was derived from a 58-year-old female patient who presented clinically with cachexia and mild ulcers. LU11873 was derived from a 51-year-old male patient who presented clinically with minimal weight loss and mild ulcers.

[0233] 9. Antitumor efficacy and safety evaluation of test substances AST and ifosfamide monotherapy in the HuPrime® PA1383 subcutaneous pancreatic cancer model The HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1383 subcutaneous model was a PDX model harboring the KRAS G12C pathogenic mutation.

[0234] To establish a subcutaneously transplanted tumor model of human pancreatic cancer, HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1383 tumor blocks were subcutaneously inoculated into Balb / nude female mice. The study was divided into the following groups: The 60 mg / kg monotherapy group (group 2) of the test drug ifosfamide was administered once daily for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, and then administered once daily again for 5 consecutive days; the 8 mg / kg monotherapy group (group 4) of AST was administered once a week for a total of 3 weeks; the 4 mg / kg monotherapy group (group 5) of AST was administered once daily for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, then rested for 2 weeks, then administered once daily again for 5 consecutive days; and the glucose injection (pH 7.7-8.0) vehicle control group (group 1) was administered once daily for 5 consecutive days, rested for 2 days, then rested for 2 weeks, then administered once daily again for 5 consecutive days. In this study, there were a total of 4 groups, with 6 mice in each group. Of the above, the test drug ifosfamide was administered intraperitoneally. The vehicle control group and each AST group were administered by tail vein injection. The route of administration, dose and regimen of the experimental design are shown in Table 39.

[0235] [Table 39]

[0236] Tumor growth was recorded for each treatment group and control group on various days of the study, as shown in Table 40. The corresponding growth curves of tumor volume in each mouse group were shown in Figure 23. The therapeutic effect was evaluated based on the relative tumor growth rate and the relative tumor growth inhibition rate. The efficacy analysis of each group was shown in Table 41. The body weight change of the treatment group and control group after administration was recorded, and the safety of each group in HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1383 subcutaneous xenograft model was investigated. The results of the body weight change of the mice were shown in Table 42. Correspondingly, the curve graph of the body weight change percentage over time in each treatment group was shown in Figure 24.

[0237] [Table 40]

[0238] [Table 41]

[0239] [Table 42]

[0240] The mean tumor volume in mice in the vehicle control group was 1536.48 mm3 at 31 days after the first dose. 3 The mean tumor volume at day 31 in the group treated with the test drug ifosfamide at a dose of 60 mg / kg (group 2) was 1202.01 mm 3 The relative tumor growth inhibition (TGI) (%) was 21.84%, which was not statistically significant compared with the control group (p>0.05).

[0241] The mean tumor volume at day 31 in the study drug AST treatment groups (Groups 4 and 5) at a dose of 8 mg / kg (QW x 3) and at a dose of 4 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5), respectively, was 18.57 mm 3 and 39.94 mm 3 There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) compared with the control group, with the relative tumor growth inhibition rates (TGI) (%) of 98.72% and 97.46%, respectively. Two mice in each group had completely eliminated tumors, with an elimination rate of 33.3%.

[0242] The above experimental results showed that in models with KRAS G12C pathogenic mutation, AST treatment groups (Groups 4 and 5) at a dose of 8 mg / kg (QD x 3) and 4 mg / kg (QD x 5, 2 days off, 2 weeks off, QD x 5) had significant antitumor effects on the HuPrime® pancreatic cancer PA1383 subcutaneous model at the doses and dosing frequencies tested in this study. Ifosfamide treatment groups had no tumor-inhibiting effect. Mice in each test drug treatment group did not lose any weight during the treatment period and were well tolerated.

[0243] 10. Detection of AKR1C3 RNA expression level and enzyme content in tissues A. FPKM detection of AKR1C3 RNA expression levels According to the method described in the literature (Meng, F., Li, WF, Jung, D., Wang, CC, Qi, T., Shia, CS, Hsu, RY, Hsieh, YC, & Duan, J. (2021). A novel selective AKR1C3-activated prodrug AST-3424 / OBI-3424 exhibits broad anti-tumor activity. American journal of cancer research, 11(7), 3645-3659), the AKR1C3 RNA expression levels in the above gastric cancer GA6021, pancreatic cancer PA1222 and lung cancer LU11693 tissues were analyzed using RNA-Seq and quantified by Log2 FPKM. The results were as follows.

[0244] AKR1C3 LOG2(FPKM) was detected as 6.78 in GA6201, 11.14 in LU11693, 7.39 in PA1222, 8.31 in HPAF-II, 11.56 in LU5161, 8.34 in CR3820, 9.12 in PA2637, 10.26 in LU11873, and 9.57 in PA1383 (see Table 43).

[0245] In accordance with the above literature, AKR1C3 RNA was expressed at high levels in all nine of these tumor tissues.

[0246] B. IHC detection of AKR1C3 protein content and H score The AKR1C3 protein content of the three tissues was determined according to routine immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining (using commercially available IHC reagents, the first antibody was rabbit IgG monoclonal antibody (mAb) from Abcam, and the second antibody was Bond Polymer Refine Detection from Leica. Staining conditions: antigen retrieval 100°C, EDTA buffer pH 9.0 20 min, dilution ratio: 1:800), and the staining results were evaluated for H score.

[0247] Immunohistochemical staining intensity was divided into 0 (negative), 1+ (weak staining), 2+ (moderate staining), and 3+ (strong staining). Thresholds for weak, moderate, and strong staining were manually set on the scoring instrument, and then color recognition was performed on the stained sample photographs using image processing software. When all sample photographs were stained, the staining corresponding to a specific cell was scored according to the uniform criteria of 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 by the scoring software. The percentage of positive cells of various staining intensities relative to the total cells of the section was then counted. The following formula was used to calculate the H score as a score of the IHC results for each sample. The H score ranges from 0 to 300, and the higher the score, the higher the expression level of the target (AKR1C3 enzyme protein) corresponding to the antibody in the sample. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0248] H score = (% of 0) x 0 + (% of 1) x 1 + (% of 2) x 2 + (% of 3) x 3 The staining results for GA6201, LU11693, PA1222 and the two control groups are shown in FIG. 25, and the scoring results are shown in Table 43 below.

[0249] [Table 43]

[0250] Specific staining statistics for models GA6201, LU11693, PA1222 and the control group are shown in Table 44 below.

[0251] [Table 44]

[0252] In the above staining results, the results of the positive and negative controls within the control ranges indicated that the H-score results of this IHC staining were reliable.

[0253] According to the above results, the corresponding AKR1C3 protein was expressed at high levels in all nine tissues.

[0254] The comprehensive pharmacodynamic experimental results in the above nine models, together with the fact that the tissues used in the nine models were all tumor tissues with high expression of human AKR1C3, show that: AST-3424 and AST generally have significant therapeutic effects on cancers with high expression of AKR1C3 and KRAS pathogenic mutations of G12D amino acid mutations. AST may generally have significant therapeutic effects on cancers with high expression of AKR1C3 and KRAS pathogenic mutations of G12C amino acid mutations. This means that high expression of AKR1C3 in certain tumors may be associated with KRAS (pathogenic) mutation subtypes. In other words, in certain tumors, high or overexpression of AKR1C3 often coexists with certain subtypes of KRAS (pathogenic) mutations, resulting in high sensitivity of tumor models with these properties to AST-3424 or AST.

[0255] A Novel Selective AKR1C3-Activated Prodrug AST-3424 / OBI-3424 Exhibits Broad Anti-Tumor Activity.American Journal of Cancer research,11(7),3645~3659;Evans,K.,Duan,J.,Pritchard,T.,Jones,CD,McDermott,L.,Gu,Z.,Toscan,CE,El-Zein,N.,Mayoh,11(7),3645~3659; C.,Erickson,SW,Guo,Y.,Meng,F.,Jung,D.,Rathi,KS,Roberts,KG,Mullighan,CG,Shia,CS,Pearce,T,Teicher,BA,Smith,MA,.

[ka] Or it becomes a nitrogen mustard structure.

[0256] Therefore, combined with the above experimental results of AST-3424 and AST, it can be speculated that AKR1C3-activating DNA alkylating agent prodrugs, either as monotherapy or in combination with other therapeutic agents, may have significant therapeutic effects on cancer and tumor patients with KRAS mutations, especially those with KRAS-G12D subtype mutations.
