Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to methods and combination therapies useful for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a method for treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject a cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitor, such as (1R,3S)-3-[3-({[3-(methoxymethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]carbonyl}amino)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]cyclopentylpropan-2-ylcarbamate (hereinafter PF-07104091) or its monohydrate, in combination with 1,5-anhydro-3-({5-chloro-4-[4-fluoro-2-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5 ... The present disclosure relates to methods and combinations comprising in combination with a selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) inhibitor such as -(propan-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-6-yl]pyrimidin-2-yl}amino)-2,3-dideoxy-D-threo-pentitol (hereinafter PF-07220060) or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof, where the combination may be further combined with an additional anti-cancer agent such as an endocrine therapy agent. The present disclosure also relates to associated dosage regimens, uses and pharmaceutical compositions. [Background technology]
[0002] Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are important cellular enzymes that perform essential functions in regulating eukaryotic cell division and proliferation. CDK inhibitors may be useful in the treatment of proliferative disorders, including cancer.
[0003] Overexpression of CDK2 is associated with dysregulation of the cell cycle. The cyclin E / CDK2 complex plays a key role in regulating the G1 / S transition, histone biosynthesis and centrosome duplication. Progressive phosphorylation of retinoblasts (RBs) by cyclin D / Cdk4 / 6 and cyclin E / Cdk2 releases the G1 transcription factor E2F and promotes S-phase entry. Activation of cyclin A / CDK2 during early S-phase promotes phosphorylation of endogenous substrates that allow DNA replication and inactivation of E2F for S-phase completion (Asghar et al., The history and future of targeting cyclin-dependent kinases in cancer therapy, Nat. Rev. Drug. Discov. 2015;14(2):130-146).
[0004] Cyclin E, the regulatory cyclin for CDK2, is frequently overexpressed in cancer. Cyclin E amplification or overexpression has long been associated with poor outcome in breast cancer (Keyomarsi et al., Cyclin E and survival in patients with breast cancer. N Engl J Med. (2002) 347:1566-75). Cyclin E2 (CCNE2) overexpression is associated with endocrine resistance in breast cancer cells, and CDK2 inhibition has been reported to restore tamoxifen resistance and sensitivity to tamoxifen or CDK4 inhibitors in cells overexpressing CCNE2 (Caldon et al., Cyclin E2 overexpression is associated with endocrine resistance but not insensitivity to CDK2 inhibition in human breast cancer cells. Mol. Cancer Ther. (2012) 11:1488-99; Herrera-Abreu et al., Early Adaptation and Acquired Resistance to CDK4 / 6 Inhibition in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer, Cancer Res. (2016) 76:2301-2313). Cyclin E amplification also reportedly contributes to trastuzumab resistance in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer (Scaltriti et al., Cyclin E amplification / overexpression is a mechanism of trastuzumab resistance in HER2+ breast cancer patients, Proc Natl Acad Sci. (2011) 108:3761-6).Cyclin E overexpression has also been reported to play a role in basal-like triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) as well as inflammatory breast cancer (Elsawaf and Sinn, Triple Negative Breast Cancer: Clinical and Histological Correlations, Breast Care (2011) 6:273-278; Alexander et al., Cyclin E overexpression as a biomarker for combination treatment strategies in inflammatory breast cancer, Oncotarget (2017) 8:14897-14911).
[0005] High CCNE1 mRNA expression was found to be associated with relative resistance to palbociclib in gene expression analyses from the PALOMA-3 trial, suggesting a role for CDK2 inhibition in reducing or overcoming resistance to CDK4 / 6 inhibition (Turner et al., Cyclin E1 Expression and Palbociclib Efficacy in Previously Treated Hormone Receptor-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer, J. Clin. Oncol. (2019) 37:1169-1178). Amplification or overexpression of Cyclin E1 (CCNE1) is also associated with poor outcome in ovarian, gastric, endometrial, and other cancers (Nakayama et al., Gene amplification CCNE1 is related to poor survival and potential therapeutic target in ovarian cancer, Cancer (2010) 116:2621-34; Etemadmoghadam et al., Resistance to CDK2 Inhibitors Is Associated with Selection of Polyploid Cells in CCNE1-Amplified Ovarian Cancer, Clin Cancer Res (2013) 19:5960-71; Au-Yeung et al., Selective Targeting of Cyclin E1-Amplified High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer by Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 2 and AKT Inhibition, Clin. Cancer Res.(2017)23:1862~1874;Ayhan et al., CCNE1 copy-number gain and overexpression identify ovarian clear cell carcinoma with a poor prognosis, Modern Pathology(2017)30:297~303;Ooi et al., Gene amplification of CCNE1,CCND1,and CDK6 in gastric cancers detected by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and fluorescence in situ hybridization, Hum Pathol. (2017) 61:58~67; Noske et al., Detection of CCNE1 / URI(19q12) amplification by in situ hybridization is common in high grade and type II endometrial cancer, Oncotarget (2017) 8:14794~14805). .
[0006] CDK4 and CDK6 are D-type cyclins and p16 INK4a It is a key regulator of cell cycle progression at the G1-S checkpoint, which is controlled by INK4 endogenous CDK inhibitors such as (CDKN2A). Dysregulation of the cyclin D-CDK4 / 6-INK4-retinoblastoma (Rb) pathway has been reported to be associated with the development of endocrine therapy resistance.
[0007] CDK4 / 6 inhibition has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer therapy, particularly for the treatment of endocrine-resistant breast cancer (BC) (Rani, A. et al., Endocrine Resistance in Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer-From Mechanism to Therapy. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 10:245, 2019).
[0008] CDK4 / 6 inhibitors (e.g., palbociclib, abemaciclib, ribociclib) have significantly improved progression-free survival and / or overall survival for patients with HR-positive / HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer when administered in combination with endocrine therapy (Spring, LM et al., Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer: past, present, and future. Lancet, 395, 817-827, 2020). However, CDK4 / 6 inhibitors have been associated with dose-limiting hematologic toxicities, primarily neutropenia and gastrointestinal toxicity. As with other kinase inhibitors, the efficacy of CDK4 / 6 inhibitors may be limited over time by the development of primary or acquired resistance.
[0009] Emerging data suggest that cyclin D3-CDK6 may be involved in the observed hematologic toxicity (Malumbres et al., Mammalian Cells Cycle without the D-type Cyclin-Dependent Kinases Cdk4 and Cdk6 (2004) Cell 118(4):493-504; Sicinska et al., Essential Role for Cyclin D3 in Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor-Driven Expansion of Neutrophil Granulocytes (2006), Mol. Cell Biol 26(21):8052-8060; Cooper et al., A unique function for Cyclin D3 in early B cell development (2006), Nat. Immunol. 5(7):489-497). CDK4 has been identified as the sole oncogene driver in many breast cancers. Thus, CDK4 selective inhibitors may offer an improved safety profile or enhanced overall efficacy with the potential for higher and / or continuous dosing compared to dual CDK4 / 6 inhibitors.
[0010] The compound (1R,3S)-3-[3-({[3-(methoxymethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]carbonyl}amino)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]cyclopentylpropan-2-ylcarbamate (hereinafter PF-07104091) has the structure:

[0136] Each therapeutic agent of the methods and combination therapies described herein may be administered in accordance with pharmaceutical practice either as a compound or in a pharmaceutical composition (also referred to herein as a medicament) comprising the therapeutic agent and one or more pharma- ceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or vehicles.
[0137] The term "sequential" or "sequentially" refers to the administration of each therapeutic agent of a combination therapy, either alone or as a pharmaceutical, one after the other, where each therapeutic agent can be administered in any order. Sequential administration can be particularly useful when the therapeutic agents in the combination therapy are in different dosage forms, for example, one agent is a tablet and another agent is a sterile liquid, and / or when the agents are administered according to different dosing schedules, for example, one agent is administered daily and the second agent is administered less frequently, such as weekly.
[0138] The term "concurrently" refers to the administration of each therapeutic agent in a combination therapy, either alone or in separate medicaments, where the second therapeutic agent is administered immediately after the first therapeutic agent, although the therapeutic agents can be administered in any order. In a preferred embodiment, the therapeutic agents are administered concurrently.
[0139] The term "concurrently" refers to the administration of each therapeutic agent of the combination therapy in the same pharmaceutical agent, for example, in a single dosage form as a fixed dose combination containing two or more drugs.
[0140] "Dosing regimen" refers to a period of administration of one or more drugs, compounds, or combinations, including one or more treatment cycles, where each treatment cycle may involve administration of one or more agents at different times, frequencies, or amounts, using the same or different routes of administration. Repeated administration or dosing regimens, or adjustments of administration or dosing regimens, may be performed as necessary to achieve a desired treatment effect.
[0141] "BID" or "bid" refers to administration of a drug, compound or composition twice daily.
[0142] "QD" or "qd" refers to the administration of a drug, compound or composition once daily.
[0143] "TID" or "tid" refers to the administration of a drug, compound or composition three times per day.
[0144] The term "additive" means that the result of the combination of two or more drugs, compounds or compositions is no greater than the sum of each drug, compound or composition individually.
[0145] The term "synergy" or "synergistic" means that the result of the combination of two or more drugs, compounds or compositions is greater than the sum of each drug, compound or composition individually. Combinations that provide a synergistic effect are sometimes referred to as synergistic combinations.
[0146] A "synergistic amount" is the amount of two or more drugs, compounds or compositions in combination that produces a synergistic effect. Synergistic effect can be calculated using a suitable method, such as, for example, the sigmoid Emax equation (Holford, NHG and Scheiner, LB, Clin. Pharmacokinet. 6:429-453 (1981)), the Loewe additivity equation (Loewe, S. and Muischnek, H., Arch. Exp. Pathol. Pharmacol. 114:313-326 (1926)) and the median effect equation (Chou, TC and Talalay, P., Adv. Enzyme Regul. 22:27-55 (1984)). Each of the above-mentioned equations can be fitted to experimental data to generate corresponding graphs to assist in assessing the effect of drug combinations. The corresponding graphs associated with the above-mentioned equations are the concentration-effect curve, the isobologram curve and the combination index curve, respectively.

[0318] PF-07104091 may be prepared as described in US Pat. No. 11,014,911.
[0319] PF-07220060 may be prepared as described in US Pat. No. 10,766,884. EXAMPLES
[0320] The following examples are merely illustrative of the disclosure and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention, as these examples and other equivalents will be apparent to those of skill in the art in light of this disclosure and the appended claims.
[0321] Example 1 Spheroid growth inhibition NCI-H1792 and NCI-H23 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell lines were obtained from ATCC and maintained in RPMI160 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and penicillin-streptomycin as per ATCC guidelines. Cells were maintained in a humidified incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2.
[0322] Spheroid assays were performed in 96-well ultra-low attachment plates (ULA-96U) from Nexcelom & Thermo Fisher Scientific. Two hundred (200) NCI-H1792 or NCI-H23 cells were dispensed into 200 μL of complete growth medium per well of each ultra-low attachment plate (n=10-12 wells per treatment group) to allow the formation of one spheroid per well with a diameter between 200-250 μm before treatment began (cell seeding numbers were pre-optimized so that the formed spheroids possessed this desired dimension). To support spheroid formation, dispensed cells were centrifuged at 220×g for 6 min in the ultra-low attachment plates to allow compact spheroids to form for 4 days before treatment began. After spheroids were formed, 150 μL of medium was aspirated from each well without disturbing the spheroids, and the same volume of fresh RPMI medium containing single agent compounds (palbociclib, PF-07220060, PF-07104091), or selected combinations thereof, was added. The final concentration of each compound in the well was 30 nM palbociclib; 300 nM PF-07220060 or PF-07104091. DMSO (0.01%) was used as a vehicle control. DMSO and all compounds were diluted in cell culture medium. Media and compounds were replenished twice a week at intervals of 3 and 4 days. Replenishment was performed by aspirating 150 μL of medium per well without disturbing the spheroids, and then adding the same volume of premixed media / compound solution to the spheroids. Spheroid diameter was quantified immediately after each medium change twice weekly (every 3 or 4 days) throughout the duration of the assay.
[0323] The mean diameter of tumor spheroids was plotted in GraphPad Prism 8 and AUC was calculated. AUC baseline was determined by the mean tumor spheroid diameter at day 0 in vehicle (DMSO) control. Spheroid growth inhibition or SGI was calculated as follows: SGI=(1-AUC treatment / AUC DMSO)×100%. SGI for all treatment arms was derived at the time when vehicle (DMSO) treated spheroids reached their maximum diameter (usually close to 1 mm, but this can vary between cell lines), which corresponds to the last time point obtained for vehicle (DMSO) treated spheroids. SEM was calculated based on n=10 to 12 wells per test group.
[0324] Growth of lung adenocarcinoma multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTS) was monitored over time to assess (i) the magnitude of response (SGI) and (ii) duration of response to the CDK4 inhibitor PF-07220060 as a single agent and in combination with the CDK2 inhibitor PF-07104091.
[0325] PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 are expected to reach a higher tolerated clinical exposure (due to reduced dose-limiting toxicity) than palbociclib (mean free plasma concentration of 30 nM) in humans. Therefore, spheroids were treated with PF-07220060 or PF-07104091 at 300 nM and compared to a clinically relevant concentration of palbociclib at 30 nM. PF-07104091 treatment sensitized NCI-H1792 and NCI-H23 spheroids to PF-07220060, indicating that the use of both agents in combination increases antitumor efficacy when compared to either compound alone. Moreover, 300 nM PF-07220060 plus 300 nM PF-07104091 showed superior spheroid growth inhibition when compared to 30 nM palbociclib plus 300 nM PF-07104091. Data are provided in Table 1.
[0326] [Table 1]
[0327] Example 2 Inhibition of proliferation of ER+ human breast cancer cells by PF-07104091 in combination with the CDK4 inhibitor PF-07220060 The combined effects of PF-07104091 and PF-07220060 were evaluated in cell proliferation assays using MCF7 and T47D BC cell lines. Each compound exhibited potent single-agent dose-dependent growth inhibition in both cell models.
[0328] The drug combination was determined based on the dose equivalence principle. Equivalence Principle and Loewe Volume The combinations were analyzed using the Loewe Volume score. When modeling synergy using the dose equivalence principle, the Loewe Volume score for the combination compound should be greater than the compound's self-cross control, and the Combination Index (CI) score for the combination compound should be less than the compound's self-cross control. The combination of PF-07104091 and PF-07220060 demonstrated a favorable profile for these two indices, Loewe Volume and CI, compared to the self-cross control in MCF7 breast cancer cell lines (Table 2) and T47D breast cancer cell lines (Table 3). Isobolograms set at a 70% anti-proliferative threshold supported the synergistic response. Based on the Loewe Volume, CI values, and isobolograms, moderate combination synergy was observed in these cell lines, with the highest benefit of the combination seen in the MCF7 model.

[0331] Example 3 Antitumor efficacy of PF-07104091 in combination with PF-07220060 in breast cancer tumor models method In vivo efficacy evaluation and statistical analysis A fragment (27 mm) was injected subcutaneously into the dorsum of a female NSG mouse (Jackson Lab). 3 From 64mm 3 Size) were implanted in the mice. For T47D, HCC1428 and ST941PBR studies, all mice were supplemented with 8.5 μg / mL estradiol water (β-estradiol Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No. E2758-5G) and given ad libitum until the end of the study. For in vivo efficacy studies, tumor volume and body weight were measured twice weekly. Tumor volume was calculated using the formula [(length x width x width) / 2)]. TGI was calculated as 100 x (1-ΔT / ΔC). ΔC (ΔT) was obtained by subtracting the mean tumor burden in the vehicle (treated) group on the first day of treatment (day 0) from the mean tumor burden in the vehicle (treated) group on the day of assessment. Statistical analysis was performed using ANCOVA when the mean tumor volume in vehicle-treated mice reached the tumor cutoff size.
[0332] In vivo efficacy evaluation of PF-07104091 in combination with PF-07220060 or palbociclib in HR+ / HER2- T47D breast cancer models The T47D model was established by implanting third-passage tumor fragments into recipient mice. To establish T47D donor mice, tumor cells (5 × 10 6 700 to 800 mm 3 Once tumor volume reached 101 mm, the donor tumors were then transplanted into secondary recipient mice for expansion of the study. 3 From 255mm 3Once the tumor-bearing mice reached the range between 0.01 and 0.1% Tween 80 in water, they were randomly assigned to groups (n=8 per group) and dosed with 1) vehicle (0.5% MC plus 0.1% Tween 80 in water); 2) 150mg / kg PF-07104091; 3) 60mg / kg PF-07220060; 4) 10mg / kg PD-0332991; 5) 150mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 60mg / kg PF-07220060; 6) 150mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 10mg / kg palbociclib. PF-07104091 (Lot 016), PF-07220060 (Lot 019) and PD-0332991 (Lot GR08498) were administered (PO.) BID (every 7 hours). All mice continued to receive treatment until day 41. TGI was assessed on day 41 after the first dose.
[0333] In vivo efficacy evaluation of PF-07104091 in combination with PF-07220060 or palbociclib in the HR+ / HER2- HCC1428 breast cancer model The HCC1428 model was established by implanting 4th passage tumor fragments into recipient mice. To establish HCC1428 donor mice, tumor cells (5 × 10 6 700 to 800 mm 3 Once tumor volume reached 100 mm, donor tumors were then transplanted into secondary recipient mice for expansion of the study. 3 From 272mm 3Once the tumor-bearing mice reached the range between 0.01 and 0.10 mg / kg, tumor-bearing mice were randomly assigned to groups (n=10 per group) and dosed with 1) vehicle (0.5% MC plus 0.1% Tween 80 in water); 2) 150 mg / kg PF-07104091; 3) 60 mg / kg PF-07220060; 4) 10 mg / kg PD-0332991; 5) 150 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 60 mg / kg PF-07220060; 6) 150 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 10 mg / kg palbociclib. PF-07104091 (Lot 016), PF-07220060 (Lot 019) and PD-0332991 (Lot GR08498) were administered (PO.) BID (every 7 hours). All mice received treatment continuously through day 42. TGI was assessed on day 42 after the first dose.
[0334] Establishment of an in vivo palbociclib-acquired resistant HR+ / HER2-BC PDX model, ST941PBR The ST941PBR palbociclib-resistant model was obtained from XENOSTART™ LLC, San Antonio, Texas. We established the model in-house by continuous treatment of ST941PBR tumor-bearing mice with 50 mg / kg PD-0332991 PO QD, plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant, SC, twice the first week, then weekly thereafter. The tumors were implanted into recipient mice to breed donors for TGI studies. One week after re-implantation, the recipient mice were subjected to continuous treatment with palbociclib plus fulvestrant (dosing schedule as described above). After 1 to 2 consecutive in vivo breedings using the same treatment regimen, the mice were cultured at 700 to 800 mm for study expansion. 3 Resistant tumors within the range of 100-200 μg / ml were re-embedded. The remaining tumor fragments were viably frozen for future use.
[0335] To demonstrate tolerance to treatment, ST941PBR tumor-bearing mice (p12) received palbociclib (50 mg / kg) plus fulvestrant (10 mg / kg) using the same treatment schedule described above.
[0336] In vivo efficacy evaluation of PF-07104091 in combination with PF-07220060 or palbociclib in the ST941PBR PDX model Viable donor mice were established by implanting ST941PBR(p11) tumor fragments. 3 Once tumor volume reached 121 mm, donor tumors were then transplanted into secondary recipient mice for study expansion. To maintain resistant clones, ST941PBR tumor-bearing mice were treated with 50 mg / kg PD-0332991, PO.QD, plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant, SC, twice the first week, then weekly for the next 10 weeks. Treatment began 1 week after implantation and continued until the day of randomization for study enrollment. Tumor volume reached 121 mm 3 From 228mm 3 Once the range between 0.01 and 0.10 was reached, tumor-bearing mice were randomly assigned into groups (n=10 per group) and medicated with 1) vehicle (0.5% MC plus 0.1% Tween 80 in water); 2) 150 mg / kg PF-07104091; 3) 60 mg / kg PF-07220060; 4) 10 mg / kg PD-0332991; 5) 150 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 60 mg / kg PF-07220060; 6) 150 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 10 mg / kg palbociclib; 7) 10 mg / kg PD-0332991 plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant; 8) 50 mg / kg PD-0332991 plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant. PF-07104091 (Lot 016), PF-07220060 (Lot 019), PF-06873600 (Lot 022) and PD-0332991 (Lot GR08498) were administered (PO) BID (every 7 hours) at 10 mg / kg; PD-0332991 (Lot GR08498) was administered (PO) QD at 50 mg / kg and fulvestrant was administered SC twice the first week and then weekly thereafter. All mice received treatment continuously through day 28. TGI was assessed 28 days after the first dose.
[0337] Results and Discussion PF-07104091 was also evaluated as a single agent and in combination with palbociclib or PF-07220060 in three HR+, HER2-BC models: T47D, HCC1428, and palbociclib-resistant ST941PBR PDX. Treatment was administered PO, BID, at mg / kg (mpk) doses indicated in Table 4 (except for the 50 mg / kg QD palbociclib group and SC fulvestrant twice week 1 and weekly thereafter). There were no significant body weight changes or other notable clinical observations throughout the treatment period in any of the three models (no clinical pathology was performed).
[0338] In the T47D model, PF-07104091, PF-07220060 and palbociclib monotherapy showed significant TGI efficacy (p<0.05) versus vehicle. PF-07104091 plus PF-07220060 treatment showed significantly enhanced efficacy (TGI 106%) versus either PF-07220060 (TGI 73%) or PF-07104091 (TGI 82%) monotherapy (p<0.05 versus any of the 15 monotherapy). PF-07104091 plus palbociclib (TGI 100%) also showed significantly enhanced efficacy versus either monotherapy (p<0.05 versus any of the single therapy).
[0339] In the HCC1428 model, single-agent treatment with PF-07104091, PF-07220060, and palbociclib each also demonstrated significant TGI efficacy (p<0.05) versus vehicle.20PF-07104091 plus PF-07220060 treatment showed significantly enhanced efficacy (TGI 110%) versus either PF-07220060 (TGI 89%) or PF-07104091 (TGI 95%) monotherapy (Table 4).
[0340] In the palbociclib-resistant ST941PBR PDX model, palbociclib (10 mg / kg BID or 50 mg / kg QD) treatment in combination with fulvestrant showed a significant but marginal response (30% and 26% TGI vs. vehicle, respectively), supporting acquired resistance (Table 4). PF-07104091 in combination with palbociclib resulted in a significant TGI (49%) vs. vehicle or either PF-07104091 (TGI 34%) or palbociclib monotherapy. PF-07104091 treatment in combination with PF-07220060 significantly enhanced efficacy vs. either monotherapy (combined TGI of 98% vs. 34% for PF-07104091 monotherapy and 28% for PF-07220060 monotherapy). The combination of PF-07104091 plus PF-07220060 provided significantly improved benefit compared to the combination of PF-07104091 plus palbociclib in this palbociclib-resistant ST941PBRPDX model.

[0342] Example 4 Antitumor efficacy of low-dose PF-07104091 in combination with PF-07220060 in breast cancer tumor models method In vivo efficacy evaluation and statistical analysis A fragment (27 mm) was injected subcutaneously into the dorsum of a female NSG mouse (Jackson Lab). 3 From 64mm 3Size) were implanted in the mice. For HCC1428, MCF7 and ST941PBR studies, all mice were supplemented with 8.5 μg / mL estradiol water (β-estradiol Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No. E2758-5G) and given ad libitum until the end of the study. For in vivo efficacy studies, tumor volume and body weight were measured twice weekly. Tumor volume was calculated using the formula [(length x width x width) / 2)]. TGI was calculated as 100 x (1-ΔT / ΔC). ΔC (ΔT) was obtained by subtracting the mean tumor burden in the vehicle (treated) group on the first day of treatment (day 0) from the mean tumor burden in the vehicle (treated) group on the day of assessment. Statistical analysis was performed using ANCOVA when the mean tumor volume in vehicle-treated mice reached the tumor cutoff size.

To establish HCC1428 donor mice, tumor cells (5 × 10 6 700 to 800 mm 3 Once tumor volume reached 119 mm, donor tumors were subcutaneously implanted into secondary recipient mice for expansion of the study. 3 From 267mm 3Once the range between 0.01 and 0.10 was reached, tumor-bearing mice were randomly assigned to groups (n=10 per group) and dosed with 1) vehicle (0.5% MC plus 0.1% Tween 80 in water); 2) 120 mg / kg PF-07104091; 3) 60 mg / kg PF-07220060; 4) 30 mg / kg PF-06873600; 5) 10 mg / kg palbociclib plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant; 6) 120 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 20 mg / kg PF-07220060; 7) 75 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 40 mg / kg PF-07220060; 8) 35 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 60 mg / kg PF-07220060. PF-07104091 (Lot 022), PF-07220060 (Lot CPo126812-01-SY-5700-01), PF-06873600 (Lot 022) and PD-0332991 (Lot GR08498) were administered (PO) BID (every 7 hours) while 10 mg / kg Fulvestrant (Lot 20160224-2) was administered SC twice in the first week and then weekly thereafter. All mice received treatment continuously until day 42. TGI was assessed on day 42 after the first dose.

All mice received treatment continuously until day 29. TGI was assessed on day 29 after the first dose.
[0345] Establishment of an in vivo palbociclib-acquired resistant HR+ / HER2-BC PDX model, ST941PBR The ST941PBR palbociclib-resistant model was obtained from XENOSTART™ LLC, San Antonio, Texas. We established the model in-house by continuous treatment of ST941PBR tumor-bearing mice with 50 mg / kg PD-0332991 PO QD, plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant, SC, twice the first week, then weekly thereafter. The tumors were implanted into recipient mice to breed donors for TGI studies. One week after re-implantation, the recipient mice were subjected to continuous treatment with palbociclib plus fulvestrant (dosing schedule as described above). After 1 to 2 consecutive in vivo breedings using the same treatment regimen, the mice were cultured at 700 to 800 mm for study expansion. 3Resistant tumors within the range of 100-200 μg / ml were re-embedded. The remaining tumor fragments were viably frozen for future use.
[0346] To demonstrate tolerance to treatment, ST941PBR tumor-bearing mice (p14) received palbociclib (50 mg / kg) plus fulvestrant (10 mg / kg) using the same treatment schedule described above.
[0347] In vivo efficacy evaluation of PF-07104091 in combination with PF-07220060 or palbociclib in the ST941PBR PDX model Viable donor mice were established by implanting ST941PBR(p13) tumor fragments. 3 Once tumor volume reached 137 mm, donor tumors were then transplanted into secondary recipient mice for study expansion. To maintain resistant clones, ST941PBR tumor-bearing mice were treated with 50 mg / kg PD-0332991, PO.QD, plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant, SC, twice the first week, then weekly for the next 10 weeks. Treatment began 1 week after implantation and continued until the day of randomization for study enrollment. Tumor volume reached 137 mm 3 From 216mm 3Once the range between 0.01 and 0.10 was reached, tumor-bearing mice were randomly assigned to groups (n=10 per group) and dosed with 1) vehicle (0.5% MC plus 0.1% Tween 80 in water); 2) 120 mg / kg PF-07104091; 3) 60 mg / kg PF-07220060; 4) 30 mg / kg PF-06873600; 5) 10 mg / kg palbociclib plus 10 mg / kg fulvestrant; 6) 120 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 20 mg / kg PF-07220060; 7) 75 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 40 mg / kg PF-07220060; 8) 35 mg / kg PF-07104091 plus 60 mg / kg PF-07220060. PF-07104091 (Lot 021), PF-07220060 (Lot CPo126812-01-SY-5700-01), PF-06873600 (Lot 022) and PD-0332991 (Lot GR08498) were administered (PO) BID (every 7 hours) while 10 mg / kg Fulvestrant (Lot 20160224-2) was administered SC twice the first week and then weekly thereafter. All mice received treatment continuously until day 28. TGI was assessed 28 days after the first dose.
[0348] Results and Discussion Lower dose levels of PF-07104091+PF-07220060 were also evaluated to test whether the combination could improve efficacy over monotherapy, PF-06873600 and SOC palbociclib+fulvestrant in three HR+, HER2-BC models: MCF7, HCC1428 and palbociclib-resistant ST941PBR PDX. Treatments were administered PO, BID, at mg / kg (mpk) doses indicated in Table 5 (except for 10 mg / kg SC fulvestrant twice week 1 and weekly thereafter). There were no significant body weight changes or other notable clinical observations throughout the treatment period in any of the three models (no clinical pathology was performed).
[0349] In the MCF7 model, SOC palbociclib 10 mg / kg + fulvestrant 10 mg / kg and single agent treatments of PF-07104091 at 120 mg / kg, PF-07220060 at 60 mg / kg, and PF-06873600 at 30 mg / kg demonstrated significant TGI efficacy versus vehicle (TGI 84%, 60%, 79% and 70%, respectively; p<0.05). The low dose PF-07104091 + PF-07220060 treatment groups - PF-4091 35mg / kg + PF-0060 60mg / kg, PF4091 75mg / kg + PF-0060 40mg / kg and PF-4091 120mg / kg + PF0060 20mg / kg showed significant regression (TGI 106%, 106%, 105%) compared to vehicle, SOC palbociclib 10mg / kg + fulvestrant 10mg / kg, and single agent treatments of PF-07104091 120mg / kg, PF-07220060 60mg / kg and PF-06873600 30mg / kg. There was also no significant efficacy difference between the low-dose PF-4091+PF-0060 groups (p>0.05) in the MCF7 model.
[0350] In the HCC1428 model, SOC palbociclib 10 mg / kg + fulvestrant 10 mg / kg and single agent treatments of PF-07104091 at 120 mg / kg, PF-07220060 at 60 mg / kg, and PF-06873600 at 30 mg / kg demonstrated significant TGI efficacy versus vehicle (TGI 70%, 79%, 70% and 97%, respectively; p<0.05). The low dose PF-07104091 + PF-07220060 treatment groups - PF-4091 35mg / kg + PF-0060 60mg / kg, PF4091 75mg / kg + PF-0060 40mg / kg and PF-4091 120mg / kg + PF0060 20mg / kg showed significant regressions (TGI 110%, 110%, 109%, respectively) compared to vehicle, SOC palbociclib 10mg / kg + fulvestrant 10mg / kg, and single agent treatments of PF-07104091 120mg / kg, PF-07220060 60mg / kg and PF-06873600 30mg / kg. There was also no significant efficacy difference between the low-dose PF-4091+PF-0060 groups (p>0.05) in the HCC1428 model.
[0351] In the palbociclib-resistant ST941PBR PDX model, palbociclib (10 mg / kg BID) treatment in combination with fulvestrant demonstrated a marginal response (14% TGI vs. vehicle), supporting acquired resistance (Table 5). PF-07220060 at 60 mg / kg demonstrated a marginal response (TGI 19%, p>0.05), and PF-07104091 at 120 mg / kg and PF-0873600 at 30 mg / kg demonstrated significant but moderate efficacy vs. vehicle (TGI 36% and 47%, respectively; p<0.05). The low dose PF-07104091 + PF-07220060 treatment groups - PF-4091 35mg / kg + PF-0060 60mg / kg, PF4091 75mg / kg + PF-0060 40mg / kg and PF-4091 120mg / kg + PF-0060 20mg / kg showed significant inhibition (TGI 87%, 98%, 94% respectively) compared to vehicle, SOC palbociclib 10mg / kg + fulvestrant 10mg / kg, and single agent treatments of PF-07104091 at 120mg / kg, PF-07220060 at 60mg / kg and PF-06873600 at 30mg / kg. Among the low-dose groups, there was no significant efficacy difference between PF-4091 75mg / kg + PF-0060 40mg / kg and PF-4091 120mg / kg + PF-0060 20mg / kg, but there was a significant difference between PF-4091 75mg / kg + PF-0060 40mg / kg and PF-4091 120mg / kg + PF-0060 20mg / kg (p<0.05) versus PF-4091 35mg / kg + PF-0060 60mg / kg.
[0352] Results demonstrate the ability to lower exposure to either agent or both and maintain maximal tumor control (regression in study) in cell line models of primary disease (MCF7 and HCC1428). In the therapy-resistant model STR941-PBR, lowering the CDK2i dose in the combination regimen to 35mg BID differentiated it from other combination groups tested, demonstrating a slightly lower TGI and more robust recovery from treatment in the study.
[0353] [Table 5]
[0354] Example 5 Activity of the combination of PF-07104091 and PF-07220060 in lung adenocarcinoma The activity of the combination of PF-07104091 and PF-07220060 was evaluated in LUAD as single agents (sa) or in combination. Data are provided in Table 6.
[0355] [Table 6]
[0356] Example 6 Preliminary Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) Risk Assessment A preliminary substrate / victim DDI risk assessment for PF-07104091 was performed using a static mechanistic model with clinically relevant concentrations of PF-07220060 (Fahmi OA, Hurst S, Plowchalk D, et al. Comparison of different algorithms for predicting clinical drug-drug interactions, based on the use of CYP3A4 in vitro data: predictions of compounds as precipitants of interaction. Drug Metab Dispos 2009;37(8):1658-66).
[0357] Based on the potential combination dose (75 mg PF-07104091 plus 300 mg PF-07220060), PF-07220060 was predicted to exhibit potential addendum-based cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) time-dependent inhibition (TDI) versus combined PF-07104091, resulting in an AUC ratio (AUCR) of approximately 2.
[0358] Other than potential CYP3A DDIs, there are no additional data indicating a significant DDI risk between PF-07104091 and PF-07220060, both as inflictors and substrates / victims, at clinically relevant concentrations, and the addition of letrozole or fulvestrant to this combination.
[0359] Example 7 A Phase 1b / 2, open-label, multicenter, randomized, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and antitumor activity of PF-07220060 administered in combination with PF-07104091 A Phase 1b / 2, open-label, multicenter, randomized, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and antitumor activity of PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 (doublet combination) in participants with metastatic breast cancer (mBC) or other advanced solid tumors (Part 1), and in participants with metastatic / advanced mBC (Part 2) when the doublet combination is administered with endocrine therapy (ET). As of the data cut-off date, 12 participants across four dose cohorts had received the doublet combination therapy (dose escalation) in Part 1.
[0360] In Part 2, each of the two triple combinations (PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and fulvestrant, or PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and letrozole) will enroll a safety run-in of approximately six participants to establish the safety and tolerability of the combination. Part 2A will include participants previously treated with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, who will receive the triple combination of PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and fulvestrant. Part 2B will include participants who are treatment-naive to CDK4 / 6 inhibitors but previously treated with one ET, who will receive the triple combination of PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and fulvestrant. Part 2C includes participants who are treatment-naive to CDK4 / 6 inhibitors and ET for progressive disease, who will receive the triple combination of PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and letrozole.
[0361] Dose escalation of PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 will continue in a stepwise fashion according to the Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) recommendations. Dose escalation will continue until the MTD of the PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 combination is determined or stopping criteria for further escalation are met. The highest doses of PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 tested in this study will not be higher than the monotherapy MTD / recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of each drug as determined from the monotherapy studies, respectively. Dose escalation decisions will also take into account all available clinical data from this study.
[0362] Enriched PK sampling of both PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 will be performed to assess PK and DDI potential. To assess potential DDI, Part 1 participants will receive a single dose of PF-07104091 on Day 1 with PK assessments up to 24 hours after dosing of PF-07104091. Participants initially on Day 1 of Cycle 1 will receive both PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 on a continuous schedule given as a BID regimen, with PK assessments after multiple doses assessed on Day 15 of Cycle 1. PK assessments may be modified (e.g., removal of Day 1 assessments of Cycle 1) based on evolutionary data from initial cohorts in DDI assessments.
[0363] Part 1 will enroll participants with metastatic / advanced breast cancer and other advanced or metastatic solid tumors with no standard alternative treatment options to determine the two-agent MTD / RDE. Each cohort will enroll approximately 2 to 4 participants. At least 6 participants will be treated with the recommended combination doses of PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 prior to the initiation of dose expansion.
[0364] Participants with BC may also receive fulvestrant after at least 2 cycles of the combination of PF-07220060 and PF-07104091, at the investigator's discretion and with sponsor approval if: · The current doses of PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 that participants are receiving as combination therapy have been determined to be safe by the BLRM; · Participants have not experienced any adverse events (AEs) that meet DLT criteria, or; The AE meeting the DLT criteria has been resolved and the participant has resumed PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 combination therapy for at least 28 days without an AE meeting the DLT criteria.
[0365] Part 2 (dose expansion) will enroll up to three cohorts of participants with advanced or metastatic HR-positive, HER2-negative BC treated with the triple combination of PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and ET (letrozole or fulvestrant). Part 2A includes participants who have been previously treated with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor. Part 2B includes participants who are CDK4 / 6 inhibitor naïve but have been previously treated with one form of ET. · Part 2C includes participants who are treatment-naive to CDK4 / 6 inhibitors and ET for progressive disease.
[0366] Participants in parts 2A and 2B will be treated with the triplet of PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and fulvestrant starting in cycle 1, and participants in part 2C will be treated with the triplet of PF-07220060, PF-07104091 and letrozole starting in cycle 1.
[0367] A dose escalation or de-escalation approach at full or intermediate dose levels of PF-07220060 or PF-07104091 will be utilized depending on emerging clinical data to select the combination RDE. BLRM will be used in part 1 with EWOC criteria to determine the MTD.
[0368] All cycles will be 28 days long and treatment will continue until disease progression, uncontrollable toxicity, participant or investigator decision to discontinue treatment, or end of study. Participants experiencing toxicity, including DLTs, may be managed by dose modification or interruption from either PF-07220060 or PF-07104091 treatment, or both.
[0369] PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 are administered orally BID with continuous daily dosing. Alternative dosing regimens, schedules and PK time points may be considered based on emerging PK data, safety, tolerability, laboratory and PD to allow optimal dosing regimens of PF-07220060 and PF-07104091 in combination with endocrine therapy, i.e., letrozole or fulvestrant.
[0370] As of the data cut-off date, a total of 12 participants across four dose cohorts had previously received PF-07220060 in combination with PF-07104091 (a selective CDK2 inhibitor) in part 1 (dose escalation).
[0371] demographics Overall, a total of 12 participants (11 females and 1 male) with a mean age of 55.25 years (SD: 11.19) received PF-07220060 + PF-07104091. Participants had advanced cancers including HR+HER2- breast cancer (n=8), small cell carcinoma (n=1), ovarian (n=1), small cell lung cancer (n=1) and unreported (n=1).
[0372] Treatment-emergent all-cause adverse events Of the 12 treated participants, 10 (83.3%) participants reported a total of 88 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
