Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 251,536, filed October 1, 2021, and U.S. Patent Application No. 63 / 357,309, filed June 30, 2022, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. [Background technology]
[0002] Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface enzymes that receive external signals, such as signals for growth and division, and transmit these signals in cells through kinase activity. Many RTKs are proto-oncogenes, and aberrant RTK activity can drive cell survival, growth, and proliferation leading to cancer and related disorders. This aberrant kinase activity can be caused by mutations, such as activating mutations in the kinase domain, gene rearrangements that result in fusion proteins containing intact kinase domains, amplification, and other means. RTK proto-oncogenes include ROS1, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), NTRK1 (encoding TRKA), NTRK2 (encoding TRKB), and NTRK3 (encoding TRKC).
[0003] ROS1 is an RTK proto-oncogene with ROS1 rearrangements detected in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), glioblastoma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, angiosarcoma, and spitzoid melanoma. Oncogenic ROS1 gene fusions contain the kinase domain (3' region) of ROS1 fused to the 5' region of various partner genes. Examples of ROS1 fusion partner genes observed in NSCLC include SLC34A2, CD74, TPM3, SDC4, EZR, LRIG3, KDELR2, CEP72, CLTL, CTNND2, GOPC, GPRC6A, LIMA1, LRIG3, MSN, MYO5C, OPRM1, SLC6A17 (putative), SLMAP, SRSF6, TFG, TMEM106B, TPD52L1, ZCCHC8, and CCDC6. Other fusion partners include CAPRIN1, CEP85L, CHCHD3, CLIP1 (putative), EEF1G, KIF21A (putative), KLC1, SART3, ST13 (putative), TRIM24 (putative), ERC1, FIP1L1, HLAA, KIAA1598, MYO5A, PPFIBP1, PWWP2A, FN1, YWHAE, CCDC30, NCOR2, NFKB2, APOB, PLG, RBP4, and GOLGB1.
[0004] NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 are RTK proto-oncogenes that encode TRK family kinases, and RTK proto-oncogenes have NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 chromosomal rearrangements that are detected in many cancers at low frequencies. However, for the treatment of ROS1-positive or ALK-positive patients, TRK inhibition, especially in the central nervous system (CNS), is associated with adverse reactions including dizziness / ataxia / gait disturbance, paresthesia, weight gain and cognitive changes.
[0005] Existing drugs used to treat oncogenic ROS1 and ALK have significant deficiencies that may manifest themselves as one or more of the following: associated TRK inhibition, limited CNS activity, and inadequate activity against resistant mutations. Treatment of ROS1-positive or ALK-positive patients with TRK inhibition is associated with adverse reactions, particularly in the CNS, including dizziness / ataxia / gait disturbance, paresthesia, weight gain, and cognitive changes. In addition, there is a need for CNS-penetrant and TRK-sparing inhibitors of ROS1 with wild-type ROS1 kinase domain and acquired resistance mutations occurring either individually or in combination, including G2032R, D2033N, S1986F, S1986Y, L2026M, L1951R, E1935G, L1947R, G1971E, E1974K, L1982F, F2004C, F2004V, E2020K, C2060G, F2075V, V2089M, V2098I, G2101A, D2113N, D2113G, L2155S, L2032K, and L2086F. Similarly, there is a need for CNS-penetrant and TRK-sparing inhibitors of ALK with acquired resistance mutations. A variety of ALK drug resistance mutations occurring either individually or in combination have been reported and include G1202R, L1196M, G1269A, C1156Y, I1171T, I1171N, I1171S, F1174L, V1180L, S1206Y, E1210K, 1151Tins, F1174C, G1202del, D1203N, S1206Y, S1206C, L1152R, L1196Q, L1198P, L1198F, R1275Q, L1152P, C1156T, and F1245V.

[0013] [Figure 1] The phase 1 and phase 2 study designs are shown.
[0014] [Diagram 2] A, B, and C show compound 1-induced regression in Lu01-0414, CTG-0848, and CTG-2532 patient-derived xenograft models (PDX), respectively. Compound 1 activity in various ROS1 PDX models subcutaneously implanted in Balb / c mice. Vehicle is 20% HP-beta-CD (hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin). Means ± SEM plotted. No significant changes in body weight were observed (data not shown). Compound 1 induced regression regardless of fusion partner (SDC4 or CD74).
[0015] [Diagram 3] 1 shows that ROS1 fusions signal through the PI3K and MAP kinase pathways, resulting in proliferation and other transcriptional changes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0036] definition Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art of this disclosure. The following references provide those skilled in the art with general definitions of many of the terms used in this disclosure: Singleton et al., Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology (2nd ed. 1994), The Cambridge Dictionary of Science and Technology (Walker ed., 1988), The Glossary of Genetics, 5th Ed., R. Rieger et al. (eds.), Springer Verlag (1991), and Hale & Marham, The Harper Collins Dictionary of Biology (1991). As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings ascribed to them unless otherwise specified.
[0037] In some embodiments, chemical structures are disclosed with their corresponding chemical names. In case of conflict, the chemical structures, not the names, define the meaning.
[0038] As used herein, the terms "comprising" and "including" may be used without distinction. The terms "comprising" and "including" are interpreted as specifying the presence of a described feature or a referenced component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more features or components, or groups thereof. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "including" are intended to include examples encompassed by the term "consisting of". Thus, the term "consisting of" may be used in place of the terms "comprising" and "including" to provide more specific embodiments of the present invention.
[0039] The term "consisting of" means that the object has at least 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of the recited features or components it comprises. In another embodiment, the term "consisting of" excludes any other features or components from the scope of any succeeding recitation, except those that are not essential to the technical effect being achieved.
[0040] As used herein, unless specifically stated or clear from the context, the term "or" is understood to be inclusive. As used herein, unless specifically stated otherwise or clear from the context, the terms "a," "an," and "the" are understood to be singular or plural. For example, when a compound provided herein is administered to a "patient," this includes administering the compound to an individual patient or a population of patients.
[0041] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, "stereoisomer" refers to various stereoisomeric forms of a compound that contain one or more asymmetric centers or steric hindrance in the structure. In some embodiments, a stereoisomer is an enantiomer, a mixture of enantiomers, an atropisomer, or a tautomer. For example, the compounds described herein may be in the form of individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers (e.g., atropisomers), or in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomers. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be atropisomers. In certain embodiments, atropisomers are stereoisomers that arise due to rotational hindrance around a single bond, and the energy difference due to steric strain or other contributors results in a sufficiently high rotational hindrance to allow the isolation of individual conformers. Stereoisomers may be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts, or preferred isomers may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, ELStereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962) and Wilen, SHTables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p.268 (EL Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The present invention additionally encompasses compounds as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, or alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers.
[0042] In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be racemic. In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be enriched in one enantiomer. For example, the compounds provided herein may have more than about 30% ee, more than about 40% ee, more than about 50% ee, more than about 60% ee, more than about 70% ee, more than about 80% ee, more than about 90% ee, or even more than about 95% ee. In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein may have two or more stereocenters. In certain such embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be enriched in one or more diastereomers. For example, the compounds provided herein may have more than about 30% de, more than about 40% de, more than about 50% de, more than about 60% de, more than about 70% de, more than about 80% de, more than about 90% de, or even more than about 95% de.
[0043] In certain embodiments, the therapeutic preparation may be enriched to provide mainly one enantiomer of the compound. An enantiomerically enriched mixture may, for example, contain at least about 60 mole percent of one enantiomer, or more particularly at least about 75, about 90, about 95, or even about 99 mole percent. In certain embodiments, a compound enriched in one enantiomer is substantially free of the other enantiomer, where substantially free means that the substance in question constitutes, for example, less than about 10% or less than about 5% or less than about 4% or less than about 3% or less than about 2% or less than about 1% compared to the amount of the other enantiomer in the composition or compound mixture. For example, if a composition or compound mixture contains about 98 grams of a first enantiomer and about 2 grams of a second enantiomer, the composition or compound mixture is said to contain about 98 mole percent of the first enantiomer and only about 2% of the second enantiomer.
[0044] In certain embodiments, therapeutic preparations can be enriched to provide predominantly one diastereomer of a compound. A diastereomerically enriched mixture can contain, for example, at least about 60 mole percent of one diastereomer, or more particularly, at least about 75, about 90, about 95, or even about 99 mole percent.
[0045] In some embodiments, moieties in a compound exist as a mixture of tautomers. A "tautomer" is a structural isomer of a moiety or compound that is readily interconverted with another structural isomer. For example, a pyrazole ring has two tautomers: [ka] The two tautomers differ in the location of the pi bonds and hydrogen atoms. Unless otherwise specified, a tautomer diagram of one of the moieties or compounds includes all possible tautomers.
[0046] The term "subject" to which administration is contemplated includes, but is not limited to, humans (i.e., male or female of any age group, e.g., a pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, adolescent) or an adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or elderly adult)) and / or other primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys); mammals, including commercially relevant mammals, e.g., cows, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cats, and / or dogs; and / or birds, including commercially relevant birds, e.g., chickens, ducks, geese, quail, and / or turkeys. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human adult. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human adult at least 40 years of age. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human adult at least 50 years of age. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human adult at least 60 years of age. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human adult at least 70 years of age. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human adult at least 18 years of age or at least 12 years of age. As used herein, unless otherwise specified, a human subject to whom administration of a therapeutic agent (e.g., a compound described herein) is contemplated to treat, prevent, or manage a disease, disorder, or condition, or a symptom thereof, is also referred to as a "patient."
[0047] As used herein, a therapeutic agent that "prevents" a disorder or condition refers to a compound that reduces or delays the onset of a disorder or condition in a statistical sample relative to an untreated control sample, or reduces the severity of one or more symptoms of a disorder or condition relative to an untreated control sample. These effects are also referred to as "prophylactic" effects. Thus, as used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms "prevention" and "preventing" refer to an approach for obtaining a beneficial or desired result, which includes, but is not limited to, a prophylactic benefit. For prophylactic benefit, a therapeutic agent may be administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease or who reports one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even if a diagnosis of the disease may not have been made. In one embodiment, a therapeutic agent is administered prior to clinical signs of an undesired condition (e.g., the subject's disease or other undesired condition) for a prophylactic benefit (e.g., the therapeutic agent protects the subject from developing an undesired condition).
[0048] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms "treatment" and "treating" refer to a curative or palliative procedure. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, a total or partial alleviation of symptoms associated with a disease or disorder or condition, whether detectable or undetectable, attenuation of the extent of the disease, a stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of the disease, a delay or slowing of disease progression, remission or alleviation of a disease state (e.g., one or more symptoms of a disease), and remission (whether partial or complete). "Treatment" can also mean prolonging survival compared to the expected survival if not receiving treatment. In one embodiment, "treatment" includes administration of a therapeutic agent after the onset of an undesired condition (i.e., intended to attenuate, ameliorate, or stabilize an undesired condition or its side effects that exist).
[0049] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "managing" includes preventing the recurrence of a particular disease or disorder in a patient afflicted with the disease or disorder, extending the time that a patient afflicted with the disease or disorder remains in remission, reducing patient mortality, and / or maintaining a reduction in the severity or avoidance of symptoms associated with the disease or condition being managed.
[0050] As used herein, "effective amount" refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve a desired biological effect.As used herein, "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve a desired therapeutic effect.For example, a therapeutically effective amount can refer to an amount that is sufficient to improve at least one sign or symptom of cancer.
[0051] A "response" to a therapeutic method can include, among others, a decrease in or amelioration of negative symptoms, a decrease in the progression of the disease or its symptoms, an increase in beneficial symptoms or clinical outcomes, a reduction in side effects, stabilization of the disease, or a partial or complete cure of the disease.
[0052] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "recurrent" refers to a disorder, disease, or condition that has responded (e.g., achieved a complete response) to a previous treatment and has then had a progression. The previous treatment may include one or more lines of therapy.
[0053] As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the term "resistant" refers to a disorder, disease or condition that has not responded to previous treatment, which may include one or more lines of therapy.
[0054] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms "about" and "approximately" when used in connection with a dose, amount, or weight percentage of a component of a composition or dosage form means a dose, amount, or weight percentage that is recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art to provide an equivalent pharmacological effect to that obtained from the specific dose, amount, or weight percentage.

[0150] Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell proliferation resulting from alterations in certain genes. Some of these alterations occur in genes that code for receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), a family of membrane-bound proteins that transmit signals from outside the cell to promote cell survival, growth and proliferation. Abnormal RTK activation can lead to excessive cell growth and thus cancer. In general, RTKs contain an N-terminal domain that binds to extracellular ligands, a transmembrane domain, and a C-terminal kinase domain that catalyzes intracellular signal transduction.
[0151] In some embodiments, the compounds of formula (I) are inhibitors of human ROS1. ROS1 is an RTK encoded by the ROS1 gene. Although the ligand and biological function of human ROS1 are unknown, its homologs in several other species have been shown to bind extracellular ligands and stimulate cell differentiation. For example, mouse ROS1 is essential for male gamete maturation and reproduction. In humans, ROS1 chromosomal rearrangements are a well-documented cause of cancer, representing 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and a subset of many other cancers. These rearrangements result in fusions of the C-terminus of ROS1 with the N-terminus of various partner proteins, the most common of which is CD74. ROS1 fusions have constitutive kinase activity that drives tumor growth via MAPK, PI3K and JAK / STAT signaling pathways. Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been used to target ROS1 fusions in cancer, including crizotinib and entrectinib. Crizotinib was the first FDA-approved TKI for the treatment of ROS1-positive NSCLC. Despite initial response, most patients acquire resistance to crizotinib and relapse. The main mechanism of resistance is the G2032R mutation in the solvent front, which dramatically reduces crizotinib affinity. No inhibitors with activity against ROS1-G2032R fusions have been FDA-approved, indicating a need in the art.

[0247] The compositions and methods provided herein may be used to treat a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the subject is a mammal, e.g., a human or a non-human mammal. When administered to a subject, e.g., a human, the composition or compound is preferably administered as a pharmaceutical composition, e.g., a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound provided herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art and include, e.g., aqueous solutions, e.g., water or buffered saline, or other solvents or vehicles, e.g., glycols, glycerol, oils, e.g., olive oil, or injectable organic esters. In preferred embodiments, when such pharmaceutical compositions are for human administration, particularly for invasive routes of administration (i.e., routes such as injection or implantation that avoid transport or diffusion through epithelial barriers), the aqueous solutions are pyrogen-free or substantially pyrogen-free. Excipients may be selected, e.g., to provide delayed release of the drug or to selectively target one or more cells, tissues, or organs. The pharmaceutical composition can be in unit dosage form, such as tablets, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), granules, lyophilized powders for reconstitution, solutions, syrups, suppositories, or injections. The composition can also be in a transdermal delivery system, such as a skin patch. The composition can also be in a solution suitable for topical administration, such as eye drops.
[0248] A pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier can contain, for example, a physiologically acceptable agent that acts to stabilize, increase the solubility or increase the absorption of a compound, for example, a compound provided herein. Such physiologically acceptable agents include, for example, carbohydrates, for example, glucose, sucrose or dextran, antioxidants, for example, ascorbic acid or glutathione, chelating agents, low molecular weight proteins, or other stabilizers or excipients. The choice of a pharma- ceutical acceptable carrier that includes a physiologically acceptable agent depends, for example, on the route of administration of the composition. The preparation or pharmaceutical composition can be a self-emulsifying drug delivery system or a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system. The pharmaceutical composition (preparation) can also be a liposome or other polymer matrix, for example, a compound provided herein can be incorporated within the liposome or other polymer matrix. For example, liposomes containing phospholipids or other lipids are non-toxic, physiologically acceptable, metabolizable carriers that are relatively simple to prepare and administer.
[0249] The phrase "pharmacologically acceptable" is used herein to indicate that these compounds, materials, compositions and / or dosage forms are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of a subject without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0250] As used herein, the phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to a pharma- ceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not harmful to the subject. Some examples of materials that can function as pharma- ceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose; (2) starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository wax; (9) oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil, (10) glycols, such as propylene glycol, (11) polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol, (12) esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate, (13) agar, (14) buffers, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, (15) alginic acid, (16) pyrogen-free water, (17) isotonic saline, (18) Ringer's solution, (19) ethyl alcohol, (20) phosphate buffer solution, and (21) other non-toxic compatible substances used in pharmaceutical preparations.
[0251] Pharmaceutical compositions (preparations) can be administered to a subject by any of several routes of administration, including, for example, oral (e.g., as drenches, tablets, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), boluses, powders, granules, pastes for application to the tongue, as aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); absorption through the oral mucosa (e.g., sublingual); anal, rectal, or vaginal (e.g., as pessaries, creams, or foams); parenteral (e.g., as sterile solutions or suspensions, including intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, or intrathecal); nasal; intraperitoneal; subcutaneous; transdermal (e.g., as a patch applied to the skin); and topical (e.g., as a cream, ointment, or spray applied to the skin, or as eye drops). The compounds can also be formulated for inhalation. In certain embodiments, the compounds can be simply dissolved or suspended in sterile water. Details of suitable administration routes and compositions suitable therefor can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,110,973, 5,763,493, 5,731,000, 5,541,231, 5,427,798, 5,358,970 and 4,172,896, and patents cited therein.
[0252] The formulations can be conveniently presented in unit dosage form and can be prepared by any method well known in the art of pharmacy. In certain embodiments, the unit dosage form is a tablet. In certain embodiments, the unit dosage form is a tablet of 5 mg dosage strength (by weight of free base Compound 1). In certain embodiments, the unit dosage form is a tablet of 25 mg dosage strength (by weight of free base Compound 1). The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with carrier materials to produce a single dosage form varies depending on the subject being treated, the particular mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with carrier materials to produce a single dosage form is generally that amount of compound that produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of 100 percent, this amount ranges from about 1 percent to about 99 percent of active ingredient, preferably from about 5 percent to about 70 percent, and most preferably from about 10 percent to about 30 percent.
[0253] Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of bringing into association an active compound, e.g., a compound provided herein, with a carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association a compound provided herein with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.
[0254] Formulations provided herein suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia, or tragacanth), lyophilized, powdered, granulated; or as a solution or suspension in an aqueous liquid or non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion; or as an elixir or syrup; or as a pastille (using an inert base, e.g., gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia); and / or as a mouthwash, each containing a predetermined amount of a compound provided herein as an active ingredient. The composition or compound may also be administered as a bolus, electuary, or paste.
[0255] To prepare solid dosage forms for oral administration (such as capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets, pills, dragees, powders, and granules), the active ingredient is mixed with one or more pharma- ceutically acceptable carriers, for example, sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or with one or more of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, for example, starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and / or silicic acid; (2) binders, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and / or acacia; (3) humectants, for example, glycerol; (4) disintegrants, for example, agar-agar; The pharmaceutical composition may be mixed with any of the following: calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates and sodium carbonate, (5) solution retarders such as paraffin, (6) absorption enhancers such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (7) wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, (8) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, (9) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate and mixtures thereof, (10) complexing agents such as modified and unmodified cyclodextrins, and (11) coloring agents. In the case of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets and pills, the pharmaceutical composition may also include buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be used as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar, and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
[0256] Tablets can be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared using binders (e.g., gelatin or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), lubricants, inert diluents, preservatives, disintegrants (e.g., sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose), surfactants, or dispersants. Molded tablets can be made by molding a mixture of powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine.
[0257] Tablets, as well as other solid dosage forms of pharmaceutical compositions, such as dragees, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), pills, and granules, may be optionally scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation. They may also be formulated to provide sustained or controlled release of the active ingredient therein, for example, using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, other polymer matrices, liposomes, and / or microspheres in various proportions to provide a desired release profile. They may be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating a sterilizing agent in the form of a sterile solid composition that may be dissolved in sterile water or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. These compositions may also optionally contain opacifying agents, and may be of a composition that releases the active ingredient(s) only or preferentially in a certain part of the gastrointestinal tract, optionally in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that may be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active ingredient can also be in microencapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.
[0258] Liquid dosage forms useful for oral administration include pharma- ceutically acceptable emulsions, lyophilized agents for reconstitution, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs.In addition to active ingredients, liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water or other solvents, cyclodextrin and its derivatives, solubilizers and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (especially cottonseed oil, groundnut oil, corn oil, germ oil, olive oil, castor oil and sesame oil), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.
[0259] Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents.
[0260] Suspensions may contain, in addition to the active compound, suspending agents such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
[0261] Formulations of pharmaceutical compositions for rectal, vaginal or urethral administration may be presented as suppositories, which may be prepared by mixing one or more active compounds with one or more suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers including, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate; suppositories are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore will melt in the rectal or vaginal cavity and release the active compounds.
[0262] Formulations of the pharmaceutical composition for administration to the buccal cavity may be presented as a mouthwash or a mouth spray or an oral ointment.
[0263] Alternatively or additionally, the compositions may be formulated for delivery via a catheter, stent, wire or other intraluminal device, which may be particularly useful for delivery to the bladder, urethra, ureter, rectum or intestine.
[0264] Formulations which are suitable for vaginal administration also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.
[0265] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The active compound may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required.
[0266] The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to the active compound, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starches, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonite, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
[0267] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the active compound, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.
[0268] Transdermal patch has the additional advantage of providing controlled delivery of the compound provided herein to the body.Such dosage forms can be prepared by dissolving or dispersing active compound in suitable medium.Also, absorption enhancers can be used to increase the flux of compound across skin.The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate-controlling membrane or dispersing compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
[0269] Also contemplated within the scope of the present disclosure are eye drop formulations, eye ointments, powders, solutions, and the like.Exemplary eye drop formulations are described in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 2005 / 0080056, 2005 / 0059744, 2005 / 0031697, and 2005 / 004074, and U.S. Patent No. 6,583,124, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.If desired, the liquid eye drop formulation has properties similar to those of tears, aqueous humor, or vitreous humor, or is compatible with such fluids.The preferred route of administration is topical administration (e.g., external administration, e.g., eye drops, or administration via implants).
[0270] As used herein, the phrases "parenteral administration" and "administered parenterally" refer to modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and include, but are not limited to, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal and intrasternal injection and infusion.
[0271] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration contain one or more active compounds in combination with one or more pharma- ceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or in combination with sterile powders that can be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions immediately before use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes that render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient, or suspending or thickening agents.
[0272] Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers that can be used in the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein include water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, etc.) and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate.Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by using coating materials such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by using surfactants.
[0273] These compositions may also contain adjuvants, such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of microbial action may be ensured by including various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, and phenol sorbic acid. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars and sodium chloride, in the composition. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by including agents that delay absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0274] In some cases, it is desirable to slow down the absorption of drugs from subcutaneous or intramuscular injections in order to prolong the effect of drugs.This can be achieved by using liquid suspensions of crystalline or amorphous materials with poor water solubility.The rate of absorption of the drug then depends on its dissolution rate, which in turn depends on the crystal size and crystalline form.As an alternative, delayed absorption of parenterally administered drug forms can be achieved by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
[0275] Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulated matrices of the subject compounds in biodegradable polymers, such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer used, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.
[0276] For use in the methods provided herein, the active compounds may be administered per se or as pharmaceutical compositions containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (more preferably, 0.5 to 90%) of the active ingredient in combination with a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier.
[0277] Also, the method of introduction can be provided by rechargeable or biodegradable devices. Recently, various sustained release polymeric devices have been developed and tested in vivo for the controlled delivery of drugs, including proteinaceous biopharmaceuticals. Various biocompatible polymers, including both biodegradable and non-degradable polymers (including hydrogels), can be used to form implants for sustained release of compounds at specific target sites.
[0278] Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions may be varied to obtain an amount of the active ingredient that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient.
[0279] The selected dosage level will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the particular compound or combination of compounds, or esters, salts or amides thereof, being used, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound(s) being used, the duration of treatment, other drugs, compounds and / or materials used in combination with the particular compound(s) being used, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the subject being treated, and similar factors well known in the medical arts.
[0280] A physician or veterinarian of ordinary skill in the art can easily determine and prescribe the therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition required. For example, a physician or veterinarian can start with a dose of the pharmaceutical composition or compound at a level lower than that required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, and the dosage can be gradually increased until the desired effect is achieved. By "therapeutically effective amount" is meant the concentration of the compound that is sufficient to induce the desired therapeutic effect. In general, it is understood that the effective amount of the compound varies according to the subject's weight, sex, age, and medical history. Other factors that affect the effective amount may include, but are not limited to, the severity of the subject's condition, the disorder being treated, the stability of the compound, and, if desired, another type of therapeutic agent being administered together with the compound provided herein. A larger total dose may be delivered by multiple administrations of the agent. Methods for determining efficacy and dosage are known to those skilled in the art (Isselbacher et al. (1996) Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 13 ed., 1814-1882, incorporated herein by reference).
[0281] If desired, the effective daily dose of active compound can be administered as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally in unit dosage form.In certain embodiments provided herein, active compound can be administered 2 or 3 times a day.In a preferred embodiment, active compound is administered once a day.
[0282] In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be used alone or may be administered in combination with another type of therapeutic agent. As used herein, the phrase "co-administration" refers to any administration form of two or more different therapeutic compounds, in which the previously administered therapeutic compound is still effective in the body while the second compound is administered (e.g., the two compounds are effective in the subject at the same time, which may include the synergistic effect of the two compounds). For example, the different therapeutic compounds can be administered either simultaneously or sequentially, either in the same formulation or in separate formulations. In certain embodiments, the different therapeutic compounds can be administered within 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, or 1 week of each other. Thus, the subject receiving such treatment can benefit from the combined effect of the different therapeutic compounds.
[0283] In certain embodiments, the co-administration of a compound provided herein with one or more additional therapeutic agent(s) (e.g., one or more additional chemotherapeutic agent(s)) provides improved efficacy over separate administration of the compound provided herein or each of the one or more additional therapeutic agent(s). In certain such embodiments, the co-administration provides an additive effect, where additive effect refers to the sum of the effects of separate administration of a compound provided herein and one or more additional therapeutic agent(s).
[0284] Wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and lubricating agents, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents, preservatives, and antioxidants can also be present in the composition.
[0285] Examples of pharma- ceutically acceptable antioxidants include: (1) water-soluble antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid, cysteine hydrochloride, sodium bisulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium sulfite; (2) oil-soluble antioxidants, such as ascorbyl palmitate, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), lecithin, propyl gallate, and alpha tocopherol; and (3) metal chelators, such as citric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), sorbitol, tartaric acid, and phosphoric acid.
[0286] The disclosure, having now been generally described, will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are included merely for the purpose of illustrating certain aspects and embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the disclosure. EXAMPLES
[0287] Example 1. Generation of Ba / F3 stable expressing cell lines. Genes encoding CD74-ROS1 wild type (wt) and CD74-ROS1 G2032R were synthesized (GeneRay), cloned into the retroviral construct pMSCV-puro (Biovector) and packaged into retroviral particles. Viruses were used to infect Ba / F3 cells (RIKEN) at a multiplicity of infection = 1 for 1 day. Infected cells were rescued for 2 days in medium (RPMI-1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% streptomycin and penicillin) supplemented with mouse IL-3 (10 ng / mL), and stable expressing cell lines were selected by IL-3 withdrawal and puromycin (0.8 μg / mL) for 7 days. Monoclones were selected by single cell dilution in IL-3-free medium containing puromycin (0.8 μg / mL). Transformation of the desired gene was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and Western blot using ROS1 antibody (CST #3287).
[0288] Cell proliferation assay. Stable expressing cells were plated at 1,000 cells / well (40 μL) in 384-well plates for one day. Test compounds (40 nL) were then added in 3-fold dilution series using a TECAN EVO200 liquid handler and incubated for 72 h. Plates were equilibrated at room temperature for 15 min, followed by the addition of 40 μL of CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega). Luminescence was measured in a plate reader. Half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) was calculated from percent inhibition and inhibitor concentration using four-parameter logistic regression.
[0289] The results for Compound 1 and several ROS1 inhibitors are shown below. [Table 2]
[0290] Example 2. In vivo evaluation of Compound 1 Model 2A: Female Balb / c nude mice were treated with tumor sections (approximately 30 mm 3 ) was implanted subcutaneously in the right flank.

In the efficacy study, tumors were 160 mm 3 After tumors had grown to a mean tumor volume of 100 μg / mL, mice (n=5-8 / group) were randomized and administered vehicle or Compound 1 by oral gavage twice daily (BID; 12 h apart) for 28 days. The results are shown in Figure 2A.
[0291] Model 2B: Female athymic nude-Foxn1 nu Mice were implanted subcutaneously in the left flank with tumor fragments from model CTG-0848. Model CTG-0848 was derived from a 41-year-old Asian male with stage II NSCLC. Tumors harbored the CD74-ROS1 fusion. Tumors were approximately 240 mm 3After growing to adulthood, mice (n=5-5 / group) were randomized and administered vehicle or Compound 1 by oral gavage twice daily (BID, 12 h apart) for 21 days (BID x 21 days).

The tumors carried CD74-ROS1 G2032R. After tumors grew to approximately 215 mm, mice (n=5 mice / group) were randomized and administered vehicle or 1, 5 or 15 mg / kg of Compound 1 by oral gavage twice daily (BID, 12 hours apart) for 21 days (BID×21 days). The results are shown in FIG. 2C.
[0293] Example 3. In vivo evaluation of Compound 1 Model 1 (LU-01-0414 PDX SDC4-ROS1): Female Balb / c nude mice were treated with tumor sections (approximately 30 mm 3 ) was implanted subcutaneously in the right flank. Model LU-01-0414 was derived from a 51-year-old female with NSCLC and unknown smoking history. The tumor was G3 and tumor stage was T2N2M0. The tumor harbored SDC4-ROS1. The tumor was 492 mm 3After growing to a mean tumor volume of 1000 mg / kg, mice received a single dose or BID x 5 days of vehicle or Compound 1, and tumors and blood were collected 1 and 12 hours (treatment only) after the final dose. Tumors were split, snap frozen, and processed for Western blot (Figure 4A and Figure 4B, described below) or fixed in formalin for 24-48 hours, followed by preparation of FFPE blocks and processing for immunohistochemistry (Figure 5A, described below) or gene expression analysis by NanoString assay (Figure 6A, described below). Blood samples were collected in tubes containing EDTA-K2, centrifuged, and the resulting plasma was analyzed by LC / MS / MS to determine the total concentration of Compound 1 in plasma. The free concentration of Compound 1 (Figure 4A) was calculated by multiplying the unbound fraction for Compound 1 in female Balb / c mouse plasma determined by equilibrium dialysis.

[0296] The following preparations were used to evaluate the inhibitory activity of Compound 1 on ROS1 signaling in tumors in these three models.
[0297] For Western blot analysis, flash frozen tumors were sectioned, lysed in RIPA buffer (containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail), ground and centrifuged. Supernatants were collected, proteins were quantified, and supernatant samples of similar concentration were separated by electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were cut, blotted, treated with HRP substrate, and chemiluminescence was detected by Amersham Imager 680. Intensity of individual bands was quantified using 1D quant (GE) densitometry software. The following antibodies were used: phospho-ROS1 (Tyr2274), Cell Signaling Technology (CST) 3078; ROS1 (D4D6) CST 3287; phospho-AKT (Ser473) (D9E), CST 4060; AKT, CST 9272; phospho-p44 / 42 MAPK (Erk1 / 2) (Thr202 / Tyr204), CST 9101; p44 / 42 MAPK (Erk1 / 2), CST 9102; β2 microglobulin (β2m), CST 12851; GAPDH (D4C6R), CST 97166; goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP), Abcam ab6721; and goat anti-mouse IgG H&L (HRP), Abcam ab97023.
[0298] For immunohistochemistry analysis, FFPE blocks were sectioned, stained automatically on a Leica Bond RX system, and imaged on a Leica Aperio Versa8. Tumor areas were manually selected in HALO (Indica Labs) and the percentage of positive cells was automatically recorded. The following antibodies were used: ROS1, CST 63452; rabbit IgG, Abcam 172730; ERK, CST 4695; phospho-ERK, CST 4376; and Ki-67, CST 9027.

[0314] Study Design: The study will be conducted in two phases (Figure 1). ● Phase 1 will use a Bayesian Optimal Interval Design (BOIN) with dose escalation with a 3+3 lead-in period. Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive solid tumors treated with at least one prior ROS1 TKI therapy. ●Phase 2 includes five cohorts. Cohort 2a: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC naïve with TKI therapy. Up to one prior platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy is allowed. Cohort 2b: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC who have been treated with one prior ROS1 TKI (either crizotinib or entrectinib) and are not amenable to prior platinum-based chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Cohort 2c: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC who had been treated with one prior ROS1 TKI (either crizotinib or entrectinib) and one prior platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy. Cohort 2d: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC who had been treated with two or more prior ROS1 TKIs and up to one prior platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy. Cohort 2e (exploratory): Patients with any advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive solid tumor (including patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC who are otherwise ineligible for any other cohort) who have progressed on any prior therapy (including but not limited to patients who have progressed on a prior ROS1 TKI).
[0315] The Phase 1 portion of the study will evaluate dose escalation using a BOIN design with a 3+3 lead-in period. The primary objective of the Phase 1 portion of the study is to determine the RP2D and evaluate the safety of Compound 1 in patients with solid tumors. The safety profile will be assessed based on physical examination; ECOG PS; changes from baseline in laboratory parameters, ECG, vital signs, and ophthalmologic examination (baseline only and if clinically indicated); and reporting of AEs. The DLT observation period is defined as the first dose on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (C1D1) to the end of the first cycle (28-day cycle duration).
[0316] After patients have been treated at a given dose level and monitored for 28 days, all available safety data will be reviewed. Initiation of the next dose arm will depend on the outcome of the BOIN analysis.
[0317] The selection of the RP2D will occur after a sufficient number of patients have been enrolled, completed the first imaging / efficacy assessments, and the data have been reviewed.
[0318] Phase 1 Dose Levels: Phase 1 will evaluate escalating doses of Compound 1 monotherapy administered orally once daily (QD) continuously until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or voluntary withdrawal of consent. Each treatment cycle will be 28 days. Under the BOIN design, up to approximately 53 patients will be enrolled and treated at the dose levels presented in the table below. [Table 3]
[0319] Intermediate dose levels may be explored during dose escalation; lower dose levels (e.g., 10 mg QD and 5 mg QD) may be explored as additional dose levels based on the results of BOIN.
[0320] Recommended Phase 2 Dose: The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is the dose level that is expected to be the MTD or lower optimal biological dose, or maximum feasible dose, and is considered suitable for testing in the phase 2 portion of the study. The RP2D is expected to achieve sufficient target coverage of the G2032R ROS1 mutation in the periphery and CNS based on PK modeling simulations; the RP2D also demonstrates preliminary antitumor activity along with a tolerable safety profile. The selection of the RP2D was made using the totality of data obtained from phase 1, including evaluation of clinical PK, pharmacodynamics, safety, and antitumor activity.
[0321] Duration of Treatment: Across both phases, patients will receive study drug continuously from the first dose until independent radiological confirmation of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient withdrawal, study termination, or commercial availability. Patients may continue to receive Compound 1 following progression in the body or brain suitable for local ablation.
[0322] Definition of End of Study: End of study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last patient in the study or the end date of the study.
[0323] Participation Criteria: Patients must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for enrollment in the study. 1. Age 18 years or older. (Phase 2 cohort 2e only: age 12 years or older and weight >40 kg.) 2. Disease Criteria a.

[0347] Study Design: The study will be conducted in two phases (except for Figure 1, n=54 for Phase 1). ● Phase 1 will use a Bayesian Optimal Interval Design (BOIN) with dose escalation with a 3+3 lead-in period.Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC treated with at least one prior ROS1 TKI therapy, or patients with other ROS1-positive solid tumors who have progressed on any prior therapy (including but not limited to patients who have progressed on a prior ROS1 TKI). ●Phase 2 includes five cohorts. Cohort 2a: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC naïve with TKI therapy. Up to one prior platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy is allowed. Cohort 2b: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC who have been treated with one prior ROS1 TKI (either crizotinib or entrectinib) and are not amenable to prior platinum-based chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Cohort 2c: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC who had been treated with one prior ROS1 TKI (either crizotinib or entrectinib) and one prior platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy. Cohort 2d: Patients with advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC who had been treated with two or more prior ROS1 TKIs and up to one prior platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy. Cohort 2e (exploratory): Patients with any advanced / metastatic ROS1-positive solid tumor (including patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC who are otherwise ineligible for any other cohort) who have progressed on any prior therapy (including but not limited to patients who have progressed on a prior ROS1 TKI).
[0348] The Phase 1 portion of the study will evaluate dose escalation using a BOIN design with a 3+3 lead-in period. The primary objectives of the Phase 1 portion of the study are to determine the RP2D, if applicable, the MTD, and evaluate the safety of Compound 1 in patients with solid tumors. The safety profile will be assessed based on physical examination; ECOG PS; changes from baseline in laboratory parameters, ECG, vital signs, and ophthalmologic examination (baseline only and if clinically indicated); and reporting of AEs. The DLT observation period is defined as the first dose on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (C1D1) to the end of the first cycle (28-day cycle duration).
[0349] After patients are treated at a given dose level and monitored for 28 days, available safety data (including but not limited to incidence of DLTs / other AEs and preliminary PK) are reviewed. Initiation of the next dose arm will depend on the occurrence of DLTs and the outcome of the BOIN analysis, taking into account the overall safety profile. During dose escalation, when available data support the safety, PK, and clinical activity of a given dose level, additional patients (up to a total of 12 patients, including those already included in the BOIN dose escalation) may be enrolled at this dose level.
[0350] The BOIN dose escalation is declared complete when the number of evaluable patients treated at the current dose reaches 9 and a decision is made to remain at the current dose, or when the maximum sample size is reached. However, if the optimal biological dose or maximum feasible dose is reached prior to the completion of the BOIN dose escalation, the RP2D may be declared. The selection of the RP2D occurs after a sufficient number of patients have been enrolled and completed the first imaging / efficacy assessments and the data have been reviewed.
[0351] To further evaluate safety and efficacy, and to confirm the RP2D, up to 20 additional patients may be treated with the RP2D or one or more candidate RP2Ds prior to the start of the Phase 2 portion of the study.
[0352] Phase 1 Dose Levels: Phase 1 will evaluate escalating doses of Compound 1 monotherapy administered orally once daily (QD) continuously until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or voluntary withdrawal of consent. Each treatment cycle will be 28 days. Under the BOIN design, up to approximately 53 patients will be enrolled and treated at the dose levels presented in the table below. [Table 4]
[0353] Intermediate dose levels may be explored during dose escalation; lower dose levels (e.g., 10 mg QD and 5 mg QD) may be explored as additional dose levels based on the results of BOIN. For example, the following dose reduction levels are provided herein: [Table 5]
[0354] Recommended Phase 2 Dose: The recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is the dose level that is expected to be the MTD or lower optimal biological dose, or maximum feasible dose, and is considered suitable for testing in the phase 2 portion of the study. The RP2D is expected to achieve sufficient target coverage of the G2032R ROS1 mutation in the periphery and CNS based on PK modeling simulations; the RP2D also demonstrates preliminary antitumor activity along with a tolerable safety profile. The selection of the RP2D was made using the totality of data obtained from phase 1, including evaluation of clinical PK, pharmacodynamics, safety, and antitumor activity.
[0355] Duration of treatment: Across both phases, patients will receive study drug continuously from the first dose until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient withdrawal, end study or commercial availability. Patients may continue to receive Compound 1 following progression in the body or brain suitable for local ablation.
[0356] Definition of End of Study: End of study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last patient in the study or the end date of the study.

[0367] Results: Twenty patients (19 with NSCLC and 1 with pancreatic cancer) received compound 1 orally once daily at dose levels ranging from 25 to 100 mg. Patients received a median of 3 (range: 1-9) prior anticancer therapies, including any ROS1 TKI (100%), investigational ROS1 TKI (85%, including lorlatinib in 55% and repotrectinib in 40%), 2 or more ROS1 TKIs (75%), any chemotherapy (80%), or 2 or more chemotherapy (50%). At baseline, 55% had CNS metastases and 45% had ROS1 G2032R. No DLTs, dose reductions, or drug-related treatment discontinuations were reported. All treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were grade 1. The only TRAE in more than one patient was nausea (n=2). PK analysis of compound 1 demonstrated dose-dependent exposure. Of 12 efficacy-evaluable patients with ROS1+ NSCLC treated with 25-75 mg QD, 6 confirmed partial responses (PRs) were achieved. Shrinkage or resolution of intracranial metastases was observed, and no patients had intracranial progression. PRs were achieved in most (n=5 / 7) ROS1 G2032R mutant cancers, including tumors pretreated with lorlatinib or repotrectinib. Circulating tumor DNA analysis shows reduced ROS1 variant allele frequency. The RP2D has not been identified and dose escalation is ongoing.
[0368] Based on data as of September 13, 2022 for patients treated through September 1, 2022, the Phase 1 patient population has heavily pretreated ROS1-positive solid tumors (Figure 20). The safety profile was favorable and consistent with the highly ROS1-selective, TRK-sparing compound 1. No DLTs were observed, no treatment-related SAEs, no AEs leading to dose reduction or discontinuation, and no treatment-related dizziness (Figure 21).
[0369] Based on data as of September 13, 2022 for patients treated through September 1, 2022, Compound 1 exposure in clinical trials exceeded target levels that resulted in regression in preclinical models (Figure 19). Compound 1 demonstrated low within-cohort patient PK variability, increasing exposure with increasing dose levels, and favorable pharmacokinetics, including a half-life of approximately 20 hours, supporting QD dosing.
[0370] As an example, a 54-year-old patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma who responded to two cycles of carboplatin, paclitaxel, bevacizumab, and atezolizumab resulted in a positive test for ROS1 fusions by fluorescent in situ hybridization in tumor tissue. The patient received crizotinib for two months, developed pneumonitis, and then received lorlatinib with an initial partial response (PR). Intrathoracic disease progression followed 32 months later. The patient then received two cycles of carboplatin and pemetrexed, continued lorlatinib, and had stable disease. Next-generation sequencing of a lorlatinib-resistant lung nodule revealed a CD74-ROS1 fusion with ROS1 G2032R. The patient began treatment with compound 1 at a minimum dose level of 25 mg daily. Clinical response was achieved within 2 weeks of therapy, and the patient achieved a significant improvement in dyspnea. Imaging after 4 weeks showed PR with a reduction in multiple bilateral pulmonary metastases (-31% by RECIST 1.1). The patient's compound 1 dose was titrated to 75 mg daily, as permitted by protocol. The patient continues therapy for over 5 months, with an ongoing confirmed PR without neurological toxicity (-60% by RECIST 1.1, Figure 8A). The unbound plasma concentration of compound 1 over a 24-hour period on day 15 of cycle 1 is shown in Figure 18A.
[0371] In addition to the extracranial antitumor activity, intracranial activity was observed in another patient with metastatic NSCLC harboring EZR-ROS1 G2032R. A 65-year-old patient with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma and multiple brain metastases had EZR-ROS1 identified by ctDNA testing. Entrectinib was initiated with an initial response, but the patient's disease progressed 9 months later. A biopsy of the growing liver lesion confirmed the known EZR-ROS1 fusion and identified the ROS1 G2032R mutation. The patient was transitioned to a clinical trial of repotrectinib. Due to progressive disease, the patient quickly required a change in systemic therapy and was initiated on a combination of carboplatin, pemetrexed, bevacizumab, and entrectinib. Unfortunately, a mixed response, growing brain metastases, and new liver metastases were observed. ctDNA testing was repeated again, detecting ROS1 G2032R. Treatment with Compound 1 was initiated at 50 mg daily. At week 4, regression of the right occipital lobe metastasis was observed in addition to a reduction in some metastases in the liver and lung (-38% by RECIST 1.1). The patient continued therapy and had a confirmed PR at approximately 5 months, with further disease regression in the brain and liver (-58% by RECIST 1.1, FIG. 8B). No neurological toxicity was reported. The corresponding ctDNA analysis is shown in FIG. 17, and the unbound plasma concentration of Compound 1 over a 24-hour period on day 15 of cycle 1 is shown in FIG. 18B.
[0372] The antitumor activity of Compound 1 extended to cases without known ROS1 resistance mutations. A 75-year-old patient with metastatic EZR-ROS1 fusion-positive lung adenocarcinoma was initially treated with alectinib by the referring physician. Primary progression was observed as expected, and treatment was transitioned to crizotinib. Clinical and radiological responses were maintained through 39 months, at which time growing bilateral pulmonary nodules were noted on imaging. ctDNA analysis did not reveal any ROS1 kinase domain mutations. Treatment with Compound 1 was initiated at 25 mg daily. Treatment was well tolerated with no evidence of dizziness, orthostatic effect, or paresthesia. A PR (-33% by RECIST 1.1) was observed at week 4, which was confirmed and maintained with ongoing treatment for over 7 months (-48% by RECIST 1.1, Figure 8C). The unbound plasma concentrations of Compound 1 over a 24 hour period on day 15 of cycle 1 are shown in Figure 18C.
[0373] Compound 1 is well tolerated at doses up to 125 mg daily and has good pharmacokinetics. Activity has been demonstrated in heavily pretreated patients (70% of patients had received two or more prior ROS1 TKIs plus chemotherapy), including patients with brain metastases and G2032R mutations.
[0374] Whole blood samples were collected at the clinical investigational site into STRECK Cell-Free DNA BCT® tubes and shipped at ambient temperature to a central laboratory for plasma generation and storage at −80° C. Plasma samples were then analyzed to determine genomic alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) via a hybrid capture-based next-generation sequencing method.
[0375] ctDNA analysis demonstrated that Compound 1 potently suppressed ROS1 variant allele frequency (VAF) compared to baseline at all dose levels tested (Cycle 1, Day 1, "C1D1"). At 25 mg, treatment with Compound 1 resulted in complete clearance of both EZR-ROS1 and ROS1 G2032R variants in ctDNA. Complete clearance of ROS1 fusions and G2032R was also observed at higher dose levels. Taken together, the ctDNA data suggest that Compound 1 was active against both ROS1 fusions and ROS1 G2032R solvent front mutations at all dose levels tested, supporting the on-target activity of the compound in patients (Figure 11). As used in Figure 11, C1D15 represents cycle 1, day 15, and C3D1 represents cycle 3, day 1.
[0376] As of data cutoff September 19, 2022, preliminary clinical pharmacokinetic analyses are summarized in the table below. [Table 6]
[0377] As used herein, C max means maximum plasma concentration; max_DN means dose-normalized Cmax; AUC last AUC refers to the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last measurable concentration. last_DN is the dose-normalized AUC last AUC 0~24 AUC refers to the area under the curve from 0 to 24 hours. tau refers to the area under the curve over the dosing interval; AUC tau_DN is the dose-normalized AUC tau AUC inf AUC is the area under the curve from time 0 to infinity. inf_DN is the dose-normalized AUC inf Refers to ; CL / F refers to oral clearance; V z / F is the volume of distribution (Vz / F) refers to;t 1 / 2 refers to half-life; min refers to the minimum plasma concentration achieved by a drug over a dosing interval.
[0378] In addition, based on a data cutoff date of September 8, 2022 for patients treated by September 1, 2022, a preliminary efficacy analysis based on radiographic measurements showed that Compound 1 induced tumor responses across a heavily pretreated patient population (see table below). As used herein, CNS refers to the central nervous system, PD refers to progressive disease, PR refers to confirmed partial response, SD refers to stable disease, and TKI refers to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. [Table 7]
[0379] Based on a data cutoff date of September 13, 2022 for patients treated through September 1, 2022, a preliminary efficacy analysis showed radiographic tumor regression across all dose levels of Compound 1 (see Figure 12). Two patients (25 mg QD and 125 mg QD dose cohorts, both with prior therapy consisting of crizotinib, lorlatinib, and chemotherapy) are not represented due to incomplete or missing post-baseline tumor assessments in the setting of PD and symptomatic progression.
[0380] Based on data as of September 13, 2022 for response-evaluable patients with NSCLC treated by September 1, Compound 1 provided sustained duration of treatment. Median (range) duration of treatment was approximately 3.6 (1.0, 8.3+) months. No treatment was discontinued due to toxicity. 76% (16 / 21) of response-evaluable patients remain on treatment. Median time to response was approximately 3.6 (range 3.1, 4.6) weeks (see Figure 13).
[0381] Based on data as of September 13, 2022 for response-evaluable patients with NSCLC treated by September 1, 2022, Compound 1 was observed to induce rapid responses in TKI-resistant patients (see Figure 14). For the patient subgroup with known ROS1 G2032R resistance mutation, the ORR was 78% (7 / 9), with 100% (9 / 9) found to have tumor shrinkage. Complete clearance of the G2032R allele in all 7 patients with G2032R detected in central ctDNA analysis. One patient with ROS1 D2033N with ongoing PR (-40%) is pending.
[0382] Based on data as of September 13, 2022 for patients treated through September 1, 2022, Compound 1 was found to induce responses in intracranial disease. Intracranial PR in 3 / 3 patients with measurable (>10 mm) CNS metastases (one patient with ongoing intracranial PR is pending). An ORR of 73% (8 / 11) was observed in response-evaluable patients with any CNS disease. CNS progression was not observed in any of the 35 treated patients.
[0383] An intracranial response was observed in a 65-year-old woman with CD74-ROS1 fusion NSCLC who had previously been treated with chemotherapy, crizotinib, and lorlatinib, had CNS progression, and had no known ROS1 resistance mutations (see FIG. 15). The patient continues treatment with Compound 1 (100 mg QD) with an ongoing response at 3.2 months.
[0384] Another case study of treatment with Compound 1 provided intracranial and extracranial activity in TKI-resistant ROS1 G2032R+ NSCLC in a patient diagnosed with EZR-ROS1 fusion NSCLC. The patient had been previously treated with entrectinib (disease progression with ROS1 G2032R was identified) and repotrectinib (rapid disease progression was observed). The patient had also been previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy + bevacizumab + entrectinib (disease progression was observed). Based on data as of September 13, 2022, Compound 1 (50 mg) was observed to result in a PR (-38% by RECIST 1.1) after 4 weeks, including shrinkage of the right occipital lobe metastasis and reduction in several liver / lung metastases. Further disease regression (-58%) was observed at 16 weeks, including near-complete resolution of brain lesions. Treatment was well tolerated with no evidence of dizziness, orthostatic effects, or paresthesias. The patient continues to receive Compound 1 with an ongoing response at 5.3 months. Radiographic images are shown in FIG.

[0401] Statistical methods:
[0402] Analysis Sets: The PK analysis set is defined as all subjects receiving study treatment and with at least one evaluable plasma PK sample. PK will be investigated in the following subsets of subjects: Part A: Compound 1 PK in fed subjects (n=14); Compound 1 PK in fasted subjects (n=14); Compound 1 PK in subjects receiving lansoprazole (PPI) to steady state (n=14). Part B: Midazolam PK (n=14); Midazolam PK in subjects receiving Compound 1 to steady state (n=14). The safety analysis set consists of subjects receiving at least one dose of Compound 1.
[0403] Pharmacokinetic analysis: PK parameters are determined using Phoenix 64 (Certara, version 8.2) and non-compartmental methods. All PK concentration and parameter analyses are performed in the PK analysis set. Terminal phase elimination half-life is C max is estimated using a minimum of at least three time points after the time point at which PK was established. For plots and derivations of PK parameters, the lower limit of quantification values occurring before the first measurable concentration are set to zero. Missing values occurring after the first measurable concentration are set to missing. Use actual sample collection times. Actual post-dose sample collection times are expressed in hours and rounded to three significant figures.

T max : C max Time to reach AUC 0~24 AUC: Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from the time of administration to 24 hours after administration last : Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from the time of administration to the last measurable non-zero concentration. AUC inf : Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from the time of administration to infinity. t 1 / 2 : Terminal phase elimination half-life. CL / F: Apparent total clearance of drug from plasma after oral administration.
[0405] Summary of PK parameters: Derived PK parameters will be summarized using the number of observations (n) and the following statistics: mean, median, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, minimum, maximum, geometric mean.

[0416] Example 7: Cell viability assay Cell culture: All cells were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2. Ba / F3 cells were provided by RIKEN BRC through the National Bio-Resource Project of MEXT, Japan. Ba / F3 cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 + 10% FBS. Genes encoding human CD74-ROS1 (wild-type kinase domain or with G2032R, D2033N, L2026M or S1986F mutations), TPM3-TRKA, ETV6-TRKB, ETV6-TRKC or TRKB (full length) were synthesized, cloned into retroviral vectors with puromycin resistance markers and packaged into retroviral particles. Viruses were used to infect Ba / F3 cells. Stable expressing cell lines were selected by interleukin (IL)-3 withdrawal and puromycin for at least 7 days. Polyclonal cultures were used directly in the assay or monoclonal cultures were established via limiting dilution and then used in the assay. Successful transformants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and Western blot. All cells were confirmed to express the complete desired protein. Ba / F3 CD74-ROS1 contained a small C-terminal truncation and Ba / F3 ETV6-TRKC contained a small C-terminal frameshift. Both were confirmed by orthogonal assays to have no discernible effect on inhibitor activity. HCC78 and A549 were obtained at Pharmaron and cultured in 1640 medium + 10% FBS or F12K medium + 10% FBS, respectively.
[0417] Alternatively, Ba / F3 cells expressing the following genes were generated separately: ROS1 fusion mutants were generated using site-directed mutagenesis (Agilent, New England Biolabs). Platinum E cells (Cell Biolabs, Inc) were transfected with pBABE CD74-ROS1, pMIG CEP85L-ROS1, pCX4 EZR-ROS1, pBABE GOPC(S)-ROS1, pCX4 GOPC(S)-ROS1, pBABE GOPC(L)-ROS1, pCX4 GOPC(L)-ROS1 or pMIG SLC34A2-ROS1 wild-type or mutant constructs using Biotool DNA transfection reagent to generate replication-deficient ecotropic retroviruses. Ba / F3 parental cells were infected with the retroviruses. Cells were treated with puromycin to select for cells stably expressing the respective fusions. Cells that survived after IL-3 withdrawal were used for in vitro assays. All transformed cell lines were sequenced to verify the presence of the desired mutations. Cells were harvested and pelleted, and DNA was extracted using QuickExtract™ DNA Extraction Solution (Lucigen). ROS1 kinase and C-terminal domains were PCR amplified. Chromatographic alignment was performed using Benchling software to confirm the presence of the desired mutations and to verify that no undesired mutations were introduced during viral transduction.
[0418] Cell viability assay: A549 or stable Ba / F3 cells were seeded in 384-well plates and test compounds were added in 3-fold serial dilutions in complete culture medium containing 10% FBS. After 72 h of incubation with inhibitors, cell viability was measured using CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega). Untreated wells served as negative controls (no inhibition of proliferation) and wells treated with a high concentration of the nonspecific kinase inhibitor staurosporine served as positive controls (complete inhibition of proliferation). IC 50 was calculated from percent inhibition and log(inhibitor concentration) using four-parameter logistic regression.
[0419] Alternatively, all inhibitors were prepared as 1 mM stocks in DMSO. Plates were pre-seeded with 25 μL of complete medium per well using a Multidrop Combi reagent dispenser (Thermo Scientific). Inhibitors were dispensed onto 384-well plates at 2x the indicated concentrations in 25 μL of complete medium per well using a D300 Digital Dispenser (Hewlett-Packard). Ba / F3 cell lines expressing wild-type or mutant ROS1 fusions were seeded at 1,000 cells per well in a volume of 25 μL using a Multidrop Combi reagent dispenser (Thermo Scientific). Plates were incubated for 72 hours. Viability was measured using a WST-8 [2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium monosodium salt] based assay (Bimake) and read on a Biotek Synergy 2 plate reader. Each condition was assayed in triplicate. Data were normalized using Microsoft Excel and IC 50 Values were calculated using nonlinear regression analysis in GraphPad Prism.
[0420] Results: Six ROS1 TKIs (crizotinib, entrectinib, lorlatinib, taretrectinib, repotrectinib, and compound 1) were profiled in cell viability assays against one human cancer cell line and 18 engineered Ba / F3 cell lines, which encompassed six ROS1 fusion partners (SLC34A2, EZR, CD74, GOPC(L), GOPC(S), and CEP85L) and eight ROS1 mutant variants (wild type, G2032R, S1986F, F2004C, F2004V, L2026M, D2033N, and G2101A).
[0421] In seven cell lines expressing wild-type ROS1 fusions, all six TKIs had significant growth inhibitory activity, albeit with different levels of potency. Compound 1 and lorlatinib were the most potent (mean IC 50 = 0.4 nM and 0.5 nM) and were 7-fold more potent than repotrectinib (IC 50 =3.3 nM), and was 19-fold higher than that of crizotinib, entrectinib, or taretrectinib (IC 50 =9.7~30nM).
[0422] In six cell lines harboring a ROS1 fusion with the G2032R mutation, compound 1 exhibited single-digit nanomolar potency (mean IC 50 = 1.6 nM), and its efficacy was more than 10-fold higher (IC 50 =18-44 nM), and more than 60-fold higher than lorlatinib (IC 50 = 98 nM), and crizotinib and entrectinib were more than 500-fold more potent (IC 50 =846nM~916nM).
[0423] IC of compound 1 and several ROS1 inhibitors 50 (nM) Results are shown below. [Table 8]
[0424] To measure the effect of the G2032R substitution on TKI sensitivity, IC 50 The shift was analyzed for six TKIs in three matched fusion pairs (CD74-ROS1, EZR-ROS1 and GOPC(L)-ROS1 cell lines, wt and G2032R positive). The analysis revealed two distinct groups of ROS1 TKIs based on their tolerance to G2032R. For the first group, including crizotinib, entrectinib and lorlatinib, G2032R was deleterious, with a mean IC of 60-220-fold compared to wild-type ROS1. 50The second group, which included taretrectinib, repotrectinib and compound 1, showed that G2032R was well tolerated and had a modest IC of 3-4 fold compared to wild-type ROS1. 50 However, in contrast to repotrectinib and taretrectinib, compound 1 contained a four-fold shift for ROS1 G2032R and still maintained single-digit nanomolar potency due to its sub-nanomolar potency against wild-type ROS1.
[0425] In addition to G2032R, other substitutions observed after disease progression on crizotinib and / or entrectinib include S1986F, F2004C, F2004V, L2026M, D2033N, and G2101A. CD74-ROS1 or EZR-ROS1 fusion proteins carrying these mutations were expressed in Ba / F3 cells and tested in cell viability assays against six TKIs. Compound 1 potently inhibited non-G2032R ROS1 mutants, with an IC of 1.5 nM or less. 50 I.C. 50 SHIFT analysis demonstrated that most non-G2032R mutations cause ROS1 to become more resistant to crizotinib and entrectinib, but only moderately resistant (IC 50 shift = 0.7-5.7 times) and is smaller in magnitude (IC 50 Conversely, non-G2032R mutations did not confer resistance to lorlatinib, taretrectinib, repotrectinib, or compound 1 (IC 50 shift = 0.01 to 1.3 times).
[0426] IC of compound 1 and several ROS1 inhibitors 50 (nM) Results are shown below. [Table 9]
[0427] Given the diversity of upstream ROS1 fusion partners, ROS1 TKIs were investigated in Ba / F3 cells expressing CD74-, EZR-, GOPC(L)-, GOPC(S)-, CEP85L-, or SLC34A2-ROS1 fusions carrying the wild-type kinase domain or the G2032R mutation. Compound 1 showed potent activity across all ROS1 fusions evaluated (IC<10 nM). 50 ).
[0428] Example 8: Anchorage-independent growth Abstract: Anoikis evasion is a hallmark of cancer and potentially indicates migratory or metastatic tendencies. To study the effect of ROS1 inhibition on anoikis, we performed anchorage-independent colony formation assays in NIH3T3 cells expressing CD74-ROS1 or EZR-ROS1 fusions.
[0429] Colony formation assay: Plates were pre-seeded with 0.8% agarose in complete medium with either DMSO or inhibitors (crizotinib, entrectinib, lorlatinib or compound 1 at 10, 100 or 1000 nM). Each inhibitor was paired with its own DMSO condition to serve as an accurate control. NIH3T3 cells expressing CD74-ROS1 or EZR-ROS1 wild-type or mutant fusions were plated at a density of 2,000 cells per 0.5 mL of agarose in 0.4% agarose in complete medium with DMSO or inhibitors at the same concentration as the bottom layer. Plates were incubated for 4 weeks, feeding each well with 75 μL of complete medium with or without inhibitors three times per week to adapt each well to the respective plate conditions and to prevent drying of the agarose. After 3 and 4 weeks, plates were read using a GelCount™ (Oxford Optronix). Colony counts were averaged by condition and normalized to colony counts from the paired DMSO condition. Data analysis and visualization were performed using Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism.
[0430] Results: ROS1-transformed NIH3T3 cells lost contact inhibition and formed colonies on soft agar. For NIH3T3 cells expressing wild-type ROS1 fusions, all ROS1 TKIs assessed suppressed colony formation by more than 80% at less than 100 nM, with compound 1 and lorlatinib having the highest potency, followed by crizotinib and then entrectinib. This potency trend correlated with the degree of target binding and signaling modulation measured by Western blotting. In contrast, for NIH3T3 cells expressing ROS1 fusions with G2032R, only compound 1 was able to inhibit colony formation by more than 90% at 100 nM, with the other TKIs (crizotinib, entrectinib, and lorlatinib) having weaker effects at the same concentrations. This potency trend was confirmed by pathway analysis. Although taretrectinib was not evaluated in the colony formation assay, Western blot analysis showed that compound 1 was more potent than taretrectinib in ROS1-driven NIH3T3 cells, consistent with the observations in Example 7.
[0431] Example 9: Cellular phosphorylation assay Summary: The relative potency of Compound 1 and other ROS1 inhibitors between TRK and ROS1 was evaluated.
[0432] Methods: For Ba / F3 TRKB cell phosphorylation assay, cells were seeded in 384-well plates and test compounds were added in 3-fold serial dilutions in complete culture medium + 10% FBS. Cells were stimulated with 100ng / mL BDNF for 20 minutes. TRK phosphorylation was measured using phospho-TRKA (Tyr674 / 675) / phospho-TRKB (Tyr706 / Tyr707) AlphaLISA reagent (PerkinElmer #ALSU-PTRKAB). Untreated wells served as negative controls (no inhibition) and wells treated with a high concentration of the non-specific kinase inhibitor staurosporine served as positive controls (complete inhibition). IC 50 was calculated from percent inhibition and inhibitor concentration using four-parameter logistic regression.
[0433] NIH3T3 cells expressing EZR-ROS1 wild-type or mutant fusions were treated with the indicated concentrations of inhibitors for 3 hours before harvesting. Cells were washed with PBS and harvested with cell lysis buffer supplemented with 0.25% deoxycholate, 0.05% SDS, and protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Protein concentrations were determined using the Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay (ThermoFisher Scientific). Lysates were extracted with Laemelli sample buffer supplemented with beta-mercaptoethanol for 10 minutes at 75°C, and lysates were run on 4-20% precast gradient Bis-Tris gels (Invitrogen; ThermoFisher Scientific). Proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Prometheus) and stained with phospho-ROS1 Y2274 (3078; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), DYKDDDDK[Flag] (8H8L17; 1:1000; Invitrogen), phospho-SHP2 (A5278; 1:1000; Bimake), phospho-ERK1 / 2 (9101; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), ERK2 (sc-1647; 1:1000; Santa Cruz), phospho-S6 (4858; 1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), S6 (2216; 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-Akt (4060; 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), Akt (9272; 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), and phospho-S6 (2216; 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology). Cells were probed with actin (JLA-20; 1:5000; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank) or actin (JLA-20; 1:5000; Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank). Signals were detected using HRP-conjugated or IRDye secondary antibodies on a BioRad ChemiDoc imaging station or a LI-COR Odyssey imaging station, respectively.
[0434] Results: TRK-associated neurological toxicity is most consistent with known functions of the TRKB signaling pathway. Therefore, an assay was developed using Ba / F3 cells stably expressing full-length TRKB. Stimulation of this cell line with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes TRKB autophosphorylation (pTRKB). Consistent with our biochemical and cell viability assays, compound 1 only weakly inhibited cellular TRKB phosphorylation (IC 50 =850 nM), providing a wide selectivity window for both wild-type ROS1 and ROS1 G2032R (670-fold and 240-fold) over pTRKB that was not achieved with any other ROS1 TKI tested.
[0435] IC of compound 1 and several ROS1 inhibitors 50 The measured values (nM) are shown below. [Table 10]
[0436] Example 10: Preclinical intracranial activity METHODS: All procedures relating to the handling, care, and treatment of animals in these studies were performed in accordance with guidelines approved by Pharmaron's IACUC, which follows AAALAC guidance.
[0437] Compound 1 was formulated as a 1 mg / mL suspension in 20% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) in deionized water. Compounds were orally administered to male Wistar Han rats (n=3 each). After 1 hour, brain samples and plasma were collected and brain samples were homogenized in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Brain and plasma samples were precipitated with acetonitrile and centrifugation (4700 rpm, 15 min). Drug concentrations in the supernatant were quantified by LC / MS / MS. Unbound fractions were determined using rapid equilibrium dialysis. K p,uu was calculated as the ratio between the unbound drug concentration in the brain and the unbound drug concentration in the plasma.
[0438] Ba / F3 CD74-ROS1 G2032R cells were transduced with viral particles containing the firefly luciferase gene and a neomycin resistance marker. Infected cells were selected in neomycin and monoclonal cultures were established via limiting dilution. Successful transformants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing and bioluminescence. For in vivo studies, 1 × 10 5 Ba / F3 CD74-ROS1 G2032R luciferase cells were stereotactically implanted into the right forebrain of 6-8 week old female Balb / c nude mice. Five days later, mice were randomized into three groups of n=7-10 mice each based on the mean bioluminescence signal, and mice received 2 mg / kg vehicle or Compound 1 PO, BID. Bioluminescence and body weight were measured at regular intervals until the end of the study (61 days after treatment initiation) or until the animals met criteria for euthanasia.
[0439] Results: Compound 1 showed favorable K values of 0.16 measured 1 hour after a single oral dose of 10 mg / kg in Wistar-Han rats. p,uu (unbound brain-plasma distribution). To evaluate intracranial antitumor activity, a Ba / F3 CD74-ROS1 G2032R luciferase model was generated, which allows monitoring of brain tumor burden via live animal bioluminescence imaging. Ba / F3 CD74-ROS1 G2032R luciferase cells were injected intracranially into mice, and rapid tumor growth was observed. All vehicle-treated mice lost weight and succumbed to disease by day 19, with a median overall survival (mOS) of 16.5 days. In contrast, compound 1 at 2 mg / kg suppressed intracranial tumor growth without significant changes in body weight, and all mice survived to the end of the study (mOS of >61 days), corresponding to a >4-fold increase in survival versus vehicle treatment. These results indicated that compound 1 has potent intracranial antitumor activity.
[0440] Example 11: In vivo pharmacology Methods: Mice bearing PDX tumors carrying SDC4-ROS1 were treated with a single dose (PO) of vehicle (20% HP-β-CD) or compound 1, followed by harvesting tumors at the indicated time points (n=3) and Western blots. Anti-β2 microglobulin (β2m) is a loading control that does not recognize mouse β2 microglobulin. pERK, pAKT and cleaved PARP are markers of MAPK signaling, PI3K signaling and apoptosis, respectively.
[0441] Results: The results of this study are shown in Figure 9. Direct inhibition of ROS1 fusions by Compound 1 in vivo was supported by downstream inhibition of the signaling pathways MAPK and PI3K, as measured by reductions in the levels of phospho-p44 / 42 MAPK ERK1 / 2 (pERK) and phospho-AKT (pAKT), respectively. These results indicate that Compound 1 inhibits signaling through the MAPK and PI3K / AKT pathways and induces apoptosis in PDX tumors harboring SDC4-ROS1.
[0442] Example 12: Cell viability assay for LTK cell lines Generation of Ba / F3 stable expressing cell line: The gene encoding CLIP1-LTK was synthesized, cloned into retroviral construct pMSCV-puro (Biovector) and packaged into retroviral particles. The virus was used to infect Ba / F3 cells (RIKEN) at a multiplicity of infection of 1 or 10 for 1 day. Infected cells were rescued for 2 days in medium (RPMI-1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% streptomycin and penicillin) supplemented with mouse IL-3 (10 ng / mL), and stable expressing cell lines were selected by IL-3 withdrawal and puromycin (0.8 μg / mL) for 7 days. Transformation of the desired gene was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and Western blot.
[0443] Cell proliferation assay: Stable cells were plated at 1,000 cells / well (40 μL) in 384-well plates for one day. Test compounds (40 nL) were then added in 3-fold dilution series using a TECAN EVO200 liquid handler and incubated for 72 h. Plates were equilibrated at room temperature for 15 min, followed by the addition of 40 μL of CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega). Luminescence was measured in a plate reader. Half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) was calculated from percent inhibition and inhibitor concentration using four-parameter logistic regression.
[0444] Results: IC for compound 1 against Ba / F3 CLIP1-LTK cell line 50 was determined to be 9.57 nM.
[0445] Example 13: Ba / F3 stable expression cell line carrying the L2086F mutation Biochemical kinase assays ROS1 L2086F (amino acids 1881-2347) was custom ordered at SignalChem (catalog no. NP72-092G / Y4232-2). Kinase reactions were initiated by mixing ATP (1 mM) with fluorogenic phosphorylation substrate AQT0101 (15 μM, AssayQuant) and ROS1 L2086F (0.5 nM, SignalChem) in buffer (54 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.012% Brij-35, 0.52 mM EGTA, 1.2 mM DTT, 1% glycerol, 0.2 mg / mL BSA, 10 mM MgCl2). Plates were sealed and read on a SpectraMax Paradigm at λ=485 nm every 2 min for 120 min at 30°C. The initial velocity of the reaction (v) was calculated from the change in fluorescence intensity over time during the initial linear part of the reaction. Finally, the apparent inhibition constant (K i app ) was determined from the regression of v and I (inhibitor concentration) to the Morrison equation (E=enzyme concentration).
