Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to combination therapies useful for treating cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to therapeutically effective combinations of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and / or 6 ("CDK4 / 6") inhibitors and KRas G12C inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the inhibitors, kits comprising the compositions, and methods of use thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] Kirsten rat sarcoma 2 viral oncogene homolog ("KRas") is a small GTPase and a member of the Ras family of oncogenes. KRas acts as a molecular switch, cycling between inactive (GDP-bound) and active (GTP-bound) states to transmit upstream cellular signals received from multiple tyrosine kinases to downstream effectors to regulate a wide variety of processes, including cell proliferation (see, e.g., Alamgeer et al., (2013) Current Opin Pharmcol. 13:394-401).
[0003] The role of activated KRas in malignancy was observed more than 30 years ago (see, e.g., Santos et al., (1984) Science 223:661-664). Aberrant expression of KRas accounts for up to 20% of all cancers, and oncogenic KRas mutations that stabilize GTP binding and lead to constitutive activation of KRas and downstream signaling have been reported in 25-30% of lung adenocarcinomas (see, e.g., Samatar and Poulikakos (2014) Nat Rev Drug Disc 13(12):928-942 doi:10.1038 / nrd428). Single nucleotide substitutions resulting in missense mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the primary amino acid sequence of KRas constitute approximately 40% of these KRas driver mutations in lung adenocarcinoma, with the G12C transversion being the most common activating mutation (see, e.g., Dogan et al., (2012) Clin Cancer Res. 18(22):6169-6177, doi:10.1158 / 1078-0432. CCR-11-3265, published online September 26, 2012).
[0004] The well-known role of KRas in malignancy and the discovery of these frequent mutations of KRas in various tumor types have made KRas a highly attractive target for the pharmaceutical industry in cancer therapy. Despite 30 years of extensive discovery efforts to develop KRas inhibitors to treat cancer, no KRas inhibitor has demonstrated sufficient safety and / or efficacy to obtain regulatory approval (see, e.g., McCormick (2015) Clin Cancer Res. 21(8):1797-1801).
[0005] Compounds that inhibit KRas activity, including those that interfere with effectors such as guanine nucleotide exchange factors (see, for example, Sun et al., (2012) Agnew Chem Int Ed Engl. 51(25): 6140-6143 doi: 10.1002 / anie201201358), as well as those that target KRas G12C (see, for example, Ostrem et al., (2013) Nature 503: 548-551), remain highly desirable and under investigation. Clearly, there is still ongoing interest and effort in developing inhibitors of KRas, particularly inhibitors of activated KRas mutants, including KRas G12C.
[0006] The KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein are potent inhibitors of KRas G12C enzyme activity and exhibit single-agent activity in inhibiting the in vitro proliferation of cell lines with KRas G12C mutations, but the relative potency and / or maximum observed effect of any given KRas G12C inhibitor may vary among KRAS mutant cell lines. The range of potency and the reason(s) for the maximum observed effect are not fully understood, although certain cell lines appear to have different inherent resistance. Thus, there is a need to develop alternative approaches to maximize the potency, efficacy, therapeutic index, and / or clinical benefit of KRas G12C inhibitors in vitro and in vivo.
[0007] In one embodiment, the combination therapy of the present invention synergistically increases the potency of the KRas G12C inhibitor, resulting in improved efficacy of the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein.In another embodiment, the combination therapy of the present invention provides improved clinical benefit to patients compared to treatment with the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein as single agents.

Alternatively, in vivo, a therapeutically effective amount of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof and a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof results in an increased overall survival ("OS") period in a subject compared to treatment with a KRas G12C inhibitor alone. In one embodiment, a therapeutically effective amount of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof and a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof results in an increased progression-free survival ("PFS") period in a subject compared to treatment with a KRas G12C inhibitor alone. In one embodiment, a combination of a therapeutically effective amount of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof with a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, results in increased tumor regression in a subject compared to treatment with a KRas G12C inhibitor alone. In one embodiment, a combination of a therapeutically effective amount of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof with a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, results in increased tumor growth inhibition in a subject compared to treatment with a KRas G12C inhibitor alone. In one embodiment, a therapeutically effective amount of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof in combination with a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of Formula (I), Formula IA, or Formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, results in improved duration of stable disease in a subject compared to treatment with a KRas G12C inhibitor alone.The amount of each compound in the combination may be the same or different than the therapeutically effective amount of each compound when administered alone as a monotherapy, so long as the combination is synergistic. Such amounts may be administered as a single dose or may be administered according to a dosing regimen whereby the amounts are effective.
[0057] As used herein, treatment refers to any manner in which the symptoms or pathology of a condition, disorder, or disease are alleviated or beneficially altered. Treatment also includes any pharmaceutical use of the compositions herein.
[0058] As used herein, alleviation of symptoms of a particular disorder by administration of a particular pharmaceutical composition refers to any relief, whether permanent or temporary, persistent or transient, that can result from or be associated with administration of the composition.
[0059] As used herein, the term "about" when used to modify a numerically defined parameter (e.g., a dose of a KRAS inhibitor or a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a length of treatment time with a combination therapy described herein) means that the parameter may vary up or down by as much as 10% from the numerical value listed for that parameter. For example, a dose of about 5 mg / kg may vary between 4.5 mg / kg and 5.5 mg / kg. "About" used at the beginning of a list of parameters means to modify the respective parameter. For example, about 0.5 mg, 0.75 mg, or 1.0 mg means about 0.5 mg, about 0.75 mg, or about 1.0 mg. Similarly, about 5% or more, 10% or more, 15% or more, 20% or more, and 25% or more means about 5% or more, about 10% or more, about 15% or more, about 20% or more, or about 25% or more.
[0060] Inhibitor Compounds In one aspect of the invention, provided herein is a method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a combination of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and a KRAS G12C inhibitor of Formula (I), Formula IA, or Formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof.
[0061] 1.CDK4 / 6 Inhibitors Cyclin-dependent kinases ("CDK") 4 and 6 are serine / threonine protein kinases that play a key role in the transition from the G1 to the S phase of the cell cycle. Both CDK4 and CDK6 regulate this transition by phosphorylating the tumor suppressor retinoblastoma ("Rb"), which, in conjunction with their cognate cyclin partners, regulates cell cycle progression. Phosphorylation of Rb disrupts the association between Rb and E2F transcription factors, promoting the expression of E2F-regulated genes whose products are required for DNA replication during the S phase (for review, see, e.g., de Groot et al., Cancer Treat Rev. 2017 Nov;60:130-138.doi:10.1016 / j.ctrv.2017.09.003Epub 2017 Sep 20).
[0062] Amplification of CDK4 and / or CDK6 has been reported in many tumor types, including breast cancer, sarcoma, glioma, and non-small cell lung cancer. For example, overexpression of CDK6 leads to resistance to temozolomide treatment and hormonal therapy treatments, such as fulvestrant, in breast cancer patients.
[0063] In addition, CDK4 and CDK6 activity is negatively regulated by the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16, encoded by the CDKN2A gene. CDKN2A normally functions to inhibit CDK4 / 6 kinase activity, thereby preventing phosphorylation of Rb. As a result, Rb remains complexed with E2F transcription factors and represses the expression of E2F-regulated gene products, blocking the G1 to S phase transition and inhibiting cell proliferation. Inactivating mutations, particularly homozygous deletions, of CDKN2A result in enhanced CDK4 / 6 activity and unchecked cell cycle progression. Such inactivating mutations and deletions have been reported in several cancer types, including bladder cancer, melanoma, glioma, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. Therefore, CDK4 / 6 inhibition has attracted interest as an approach for anticancer therapy beyond the current FDA-approved indications for hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
[0064] Several inhibitors with activity against CDK4 / 6 family kinases have been developed, and many have received marketing approval. For example, approved CDK4 / 6 inhibitors include abemaciclib (N-(5-((4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)-5-fluoro-4-(4-fluoro-1-isopropyl-2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-6-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine); palbociclib (6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-((5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)amino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-1); and ribociclib (6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-((5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)amino)pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-1). These include trilaciclib (7-cyclopentyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-((5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)amino)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxamide), while the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor trilaciclib (2'-((5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2-yl)amino)-7',8'-dihydro-6'H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,9'-pyrazino[1',2':1,5]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin]-6'-one) is in late-stage clinical trials. Another CDK4 / 6 inhibitor useful in the methods herein is the CDK2 / 4 / 6 inhibitor PF-06873600 (pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, 6-(difluoromethyl)-8-[(1R,2R)-2-hydroxy-2-methylcyclopentyl]-2-[[1-(methylsulfonyl)-4-piperidinyl]amino]).
[0065] Methods for producing CDK4 / 6 inhibitors are well known to those of skill in the art, and CDK4 / 6 inhibitors can be obtained from a wide variety of commercial suppliers in forms suitable for both research or human use. In addition, CDK4 / 6 inhibitors suitable for use in the compositions and methods disclosed herein, as well as methods for preparing such inhibitors, are described in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos.

[0070] In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is [ka] and pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof.
[0071] In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is [ka] (referred to as Example 234) and pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof.
[0072] In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is [ka] (referred to as Example 359) and pharma-ceutically acceptable salts thereof.
[0073] In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is [ka] (referred to as Example 478) and pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof.
[0074] In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is [ka] (referred to as Example 507) and pharma- ceutically acceptable salts thereof.
[0075] The KRas G12C inhibitors used in the methods of the present invention may have one or more chiral centers and may be synthesized as stereoisomeric mixtures, isomers that have the same configuration but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms. The compounds may be used as mixtures, or individual components / isomers may be separated using commercially available reagents and conventional methods for isolating stereoisomers and enantiomers well known to those skilled in the art, such as CHIRALPAK® (Sigma-Aldrich) or CHIRALCEL® (Diacel Corp) chiral chromatographic HPLC columns, following the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention may be synthesized using optically pure chiral reagents and intermediates to prepare individual isomers or enantiomers. Unless otherwise stated, all chiral (enantiomers and diastereomers) and racemic forms are within the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise stated, whenever this specification, including the claims, refers to a compound of the present invention, the term "compound" should be understood to include all chiral (enantiomers and diastereomers) and racemic forms.
[0076] In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula I, formula IA, or formula IB used in the method comprises a trifluoroacetate salt of the compound described above.
[0077] The method for producing the KRas G12C inhibitor disclosed herein is known.For example, co-owned and published international PCT application WO2017 / 201161 and WO2019 / 099524 describe the general reaction scheme for preparing the compound of formula I, formula IA or formula IB, and also provide the detailed synthetic route for preparing each of the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein.
[0078] The CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the KRas G12C compound of Formula (I), Formula IA, or Formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition.
[0079] Pharmaceutical Compositions In another aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and KRas G12C inhibitor according to the present invention and a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or diluent that can be used in the methods disclosed herein. The CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and KRas G12C inhibitor can be independently formulated by any method known in the art and prepared for administration by any route, including, but not limited to, parenteral, oral, sublingual, transdermal, topical, intranasal, intratracheal, or intrarectal. In certain embodiments, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and / or KRas G12C inhibitor is administered intravenously in a hospital environment. In one embodiment, administration can be by oral route.
[0080] The characteristics of the carrier will depend on the route of administration. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutical acceptable" refers to a non-toxic material that is compatible with a biological system, such as a cell, cell culture, tissue, or organism, and does not interfere with the effectiveness of the biological activity of the active ingredient(s). Thus, in addition to the inhibitor, the composition may contain diluents, fillers, salts, buffers, stabilizers, solubilizers, and other materials that are well known in the art. The preparation of pharmaceutical acceptable formulations is described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, ed. A. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1990.
[0081] As used herein, the term pharma-ceutically acceptable salt refers to the salt that retains the desired biological activity of the above-identified compound and shows minimal or no undesired toxic effects.Examples of such salts include, but are not limited to, the acid addition salt formed with inorganic acid (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc.), and the acid formed with organic acid such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, tannic acid, pamoic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, and polygalacturonic acid. The compounds may also be administered as pharma- ceutically acceptable quaternary salts known to those of skill in the art, including, in particular, quaternary ammonium salts of the formula -NR+Z-, where R is hydrogen, alkyl, or benzyl, and Z is a counterion, including chloride, bromide, iodide, -O-alkyl, toluenesulfonate, methylsulfonate, sulfonate, phosphate, or carboxylate (e.g., benzoate, succinate, acetate, glycolate, maleate, malate, citrate, tartrate, ascorbate, benzoate, cinnamoate, mandelloate, benzylloate, and diphenylacetate).
[0082] The active compound is contained in a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver a therapeutically effective amount to the patient without causing serious toxic effects to the patient being treated. In one embodiment, for all the above conditions, the dose of the active compound is in the range of about 0.01 to 300 mg / kg per day, e.g., 0.1 to 100 mg / kg per day, and as a further example, in the range of 0.5 to about 25 mg per kilogram body weight of the recipient per day. Typical topical dosages are in the range of 0.01 to 3% weight / weight in a suitable carrier. The effective dosage range of the pharma- ceutically acceptable derivatives can be calculated based on the weight of the parent compound to be delivered. If the derivative is active in itself, the effective dosage can be estimated as above using the weight of the derivative, or by other means known to those skilled in the art.
[0083] A pharmaceutical composition comprising a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and a KRas G12C inhibitor may be used in the methods of use described herein.
[0084] Simultaneous administration The CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition, and the KRas G12C inhibitor, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition, can be formulated separately or into separate dosage forms that can be administered simultaneously in sequence.Another option is that when the administration route is the same (e.g., oral), the two active compounds can be formulated into a single form for simultaneous administration, but both simultaneous administration methods are part of the same therapeutic treatment or regimen.
[0085] For use in this method, the pharmaceutical composition comprising CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition and / or KRAS G12C inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition can be for simultaneous, separate or sequential use.In one embodiment, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition is administered before the administration of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA or formula IB or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition.In another embodiment, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition is administered after the administration of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA or formula IB or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition. In another embodiment, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered approximately simultaneously with the administration of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of Formula (I), Formula IA, or Formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof.
[0086] Separate administration of each inhibitor at different times and by different routes may be advantageous in some cases.Therefore, the components of combination, i.e., KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition, and CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition, do not necessarily have to be administered essentially at the same time or in any order.In one embodiment, CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and KRAS G12C inhibitor are administered on the same day.In one embodiment, CDK4 / 6 inhibitor and KRAS G12C inhibitor are administered on different days.
[0087] Tumor drugs are usually administered at the maximum tolerated dose ("MTD"), which is the highest dose of drug that does not cause unacceptable side effects. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition and the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition are each administered at their respective MTD. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition is administered at its MTD, and the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition is administered at an amount less than its MTD. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition is administered at an amount less than its MTD, and the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition is administered at its MTD. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition and the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition are each administered at an amount less than their respective MTD.The administration can also be timed so that the peak pharmacokinetic effect of one compound coincides with the peak pharmacokinetic effect of the other compound.
[0088] In one embodiment, a single dose of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof is administered per day (i.e., about 24 hours apart) (i.e., once a day). In another embodiment, two doses of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof are administered per day (i.e., twice a day). In another embodiment, three doses of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof are administered per day (i.e., three times a day).
[0089] In one embodiment, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition, is administered once a day. In another embodiment, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition, is administered twice a day. In another embodiment, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor of the present invention, or its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition, is administered three times a day.
[0090] In one embodiment, a single dose of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of Formula (I), Formula IA, or Formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, are each administered once daily.

[0107] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that both in vivo and in vitro testing using suitable known and generally accepted cellular and / or animal models will predict the ability of a test compound or combination to treat or prevent a given disorder.
[0108] One of ordinary skill in the art will further appreciate that human clinical trials, including first-in-human studies, dose ranging studies and efficacy studies in healthy patients and / or patients afflicted with a given disorder, can be completed according to methods well known in the clinical and medical arts.
[0109] Synergy In one embodiment, the addition of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, synergistically increases the activity of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, against a cancer or cancer cell line expressing KRas G12C. Any method for determining whether two compounds exhibit synergistic effects can be used to determine the synergistic effect of the combination.
[0110] Several mathematical models have been developed to determine whether two compounds act synergistically, i.e., beyond merely additive effects. For example, Loewe additivity (Loewe (1928) Physiol. 27: 47-187), Bliss independence (Bliss (1939) Ann. Appl. Biol. 26: 585-615), best single agent, ZIP (Yadav et al (2015) Comput Struct Biotech J 13: 504-513), as well as other models (Chou & Talalay (1984) Adv Enzyme Regul 22: 27-55. #6382953, and Greco et al. (1995) Pharmacol Rev 47 (2): 331-85. #7568331) are well-known models in the pharmaceutical industry and can be used to calculate a "synergy score" that indicates whether synergy is detected and the magnitude of such synergy. These synergy scores are combined to generate a composite synergy score that can be used to evaluate and characterize KRas G12C inhibitor compounds of Formula (I), Formula IA, or Formula IB in combination with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor.
[0111] Generally, the mathematical model uses data from the single agent values to determine the predicted additive effect of the combination and compares it to the observed effect of the combination. If the observed effect is greater than the predicted effect, the combination is considered to be synergistic. For example, the Bliss independence model uses the observed combination response (Y O ) to the predicted combination response (Y P ) and Y O Y P If it is greater, then the combined effect typically indicates synergy.
[0112] In some embodiments, "synergy" as used herein refers to a combination of a KRAS inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof with a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof that produces a beneficial or desired result, including, for example, any of the clinical outcomes or endpoints described herein, that is greater than the sum of the effects observed when the compound of formula I or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., a compound selected from compound numbers 1-678 (as numbered in WO2019 / 099524), or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof) and the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof are administered alone. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is a compound selected from compound numbers 1-678 (as numbered in WO2019 / 099524), or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., Example Nos. 234, 359, 478, or 507, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof). In one embodiment, the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor is selected from palbociclib or abemaciclib. In one embodiment, the therapeutic combination comprises a therapeutically effective amount of Example No. 234 and palbociclib. In one embodiment, the therapeutic combination comprises a therapeutically effective amount of Example No. 234 and abemaciclib.

[0117] kit The present invention also relates to a kit comprising a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof and a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB (e.g., a compound selected from Example Nos. 1-678 (as numbered in WO2019 / 099524), or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., Example Nos. 234, 359, 478, or 507, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof). A kit comprising a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof and a KRAS G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is also provided for use in treating hematological cancers.
[0118] In a related aspect, the invention provides a kit comprising a dose of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof and a dose of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB (e.g., a compound selected from Example Nos. 1-678 (as numbered in WO2019 / 099524), or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., Example Nos. 234, 359, 478, or 507, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof) in an amount effective to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells, particularly cancer cells expressing KRas G12C, in a subject. The kit optionally includes an insert comprising instructions for administration of the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof and the KRAS G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof. The insert may include a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt thereof. The user may be provided with a set of instructions for using the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor in combination with the G12C inhibitor compound.
[0119] Example A CDK4 / 6 inhibitors synergistically increase the activity of KRas G12C inhibitors against cell lines expressing KRas G12C. This example shows that the combination of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor compounds of Formula I, Formula IA, and Formula IB with CDK4 / 6 inhibitors synergistically inhibits the growth of tumor cell lines expressing KRas G12C.
[0120] To determine whether combining a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor with an exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor disclosed herein results in synergistic activity, a panel of eight lung cancer and one colorectal cell line harboring the KRas G12C mutation was assembled. The collection included NCI-H1373 (ATCC CRL-5866; CDKN2A C72 mutation); NCI-H1792 (ATCC CRL-5895; CDK4 amplification); NCI-H2030 (ATCC CRL-5985); NCI-H2122 (ATCC CRL-5985; CDKN2A deletion; CDK6 amplification); HCC1171 (KCLB 71171; CDKN2A deletion); HCC44 (DSMZ ACC-534); LU99 (RCB1900; CDKN2A deletion); SW1573 (ATCC CRL-2170; CDKN2A deletion), and SW837 (ATCC CCL-235).
[0121] Assays to determine synergy scores for each cell line pairwise combination were performed in triplicate. Three 96-well plates for determining baseline luminescence and an additional four wells of a separate 96-well control plate were seeded with 2000 cells / well of a particular cell line in a total volume of 90 μl of the appropriate growth medium for that cell line, e.g., RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, plus any cell line-specific reagents required for growth. Plates were incubated at 4°C for 30 min at 5% CO 2 The mixture was incubated overnight at 37°C in air.
[0122] For each of the designated baseline wells, 30 μl of Cell-Titer Glo reagent (CTG; Promega Corporation) was added to each well and the plate was incubated for 20 min with shaking at room temperature. Baseline luminescence was quantified using a BMG ClarioStar multimode plate reader according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0123] A series of working stock 1000X drug dilutions in 100% DMSO were prepared, including 8-point single agent dilutions of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitors of Formula (I), Formula IA, and Formula IB, and 5-point single agent dilutions of CDK4 / 6 inhibitors. The dilutions used for the KRas G12C inhibitors and CDK4 / 6 inhibitors varied for each individual compound, but ranged from 3-6 fold / serial dilution.
[0124] Exemplary KRasG12C inhibitors tested in this example include the following: [Table 1]
[0125] A 10X intermediate dose plate was prepared in serum-free RPMI medium containing an array of single agent dilutions of an exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor of formula (I) or a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor. In addition, 40 matrix dilution combinations of an exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor of formula (I), formula IA, or formula IB and a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor were prepared as test samples.
[0126] Add 10 μl of each 10X single agent and dose matrix combination to each corresponding well of three 96-well plates seeded with the appropriate cell line above and incubate the plates at 37°C, 5% CO. 2 The plates were incubated at room temperature for 72 hours at room temperature for 30 minutes and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes at room temperature for 30 minutes. The plates were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes at room temperature for 30 minutes and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes ...
[0127] Using the raw data and metadata files as input files, effect rates for each treatment condition were calculated and analyzed using four independent mathematical reference models (Loewe additivity, Bliss independence, best single agent, and ZIP) designed to determine whether two test compounds exhibit synergistic effects.
[0128] The data output from each mathematical model is the assignment of a relative synergy score. The data reported in Table 1 are the sum of Loewe additivity, Bliss independence, best single agent, and ZIP score ("composite synergy score"). [Table 2]
[0129] A combined score of 27 or greater was interpreted as a synergistic hit, whereas a combined score of 17-26 indicates potential synergy. These results indicate that synergy was observed in combination with various CDK4 / 6 family inhibitors and the exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor compounds of Formula (I), Formula IA, and Formula IB in the majority of cell lines harboring the KRas G12C mutation in Table 1 that were less sensitive to treatment with KRas G12C alone, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the KRas G12C cell lines to the combination of KRas G12C inhibitors.
[0130] Example B In vivo model to investigate the combination of KRas G12C and CDK4 / 6 inhibitors Immunodeficient nude / nude mice were inoculated into the right hind limb with cells carrying the KRas G12C mutation or tumor samples from patients. 3When the tumors reached a size of 100 mm, the mice were divided into four groups of 5-12 mice each. The first group received vehicle only. The second group received a single-agent dose of a KRas G12C inhibitor at a concentration that results in a maximal or submaximal biological effect, depending on the cell line and single-agent activity, but does not result in complete tumor regression. The third group received a single-agent dose of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor at a concentration that results in a maximal or submaximal biological effect, depending on the cell line and single-agent activity, but does not result in complete tumor regression. The fourth group received a single-agent dose of a KRas G12C inhibitor in combination with a single-agent dose of a CDK4 / 6 inhibitor. The duration of treatment varied for each cell line, but was typically 21-35 days. Tumor volumes were measured using calipers every 2-3 days and tumor volume was calculated using the formula: 0.5 x (length x width) 2 The greater degree of tumor growth inhibition of the combination in this model indicated that the combination therapy is likely to provide clinically meaningful benefit to treated subjects compared with treatment with a KRas G12C inhibitor alone.
[0131] For example, 5 × 10 6 SW1573 cells were inoculated into the right hind leg. The tumor volume was approximately 350 mm 3 When tumor volume reached 0 (study day 0), seven mice in each of the four groups were orally administered vehicle alone (10% Captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 5.0), 100 mg / kg of the KRAS G12C inhibitor Compound 478 (10% Captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 5.0), 130 mg / kg of the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor Palbociclib (saline), or 100 mg / kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor Compound 478 and 130 mg / kg of Palbociclib daily for 28 days. Tumor volumes measured at pre-specified days for the seven mice per group were averaged and are reported in Table 2. [Table 3]
[0132] As shown in Table 2, administration of compound 478 or palbociclib as single agents showed 71% and 40% tumor growth inhibition, respectively, at day 28. The combination of the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor palbociclib with compound 478 resulted in 58% tumor regression at day 28.
[0133] Similarly, 20 nude / nude mice were inoculated with 5 × 10 6 H2122 cells were inoculated into the right hind leg. The tumor volume was approximately 325 mm 3 When tumor volume reached 0 (study day 0), five mice in each of the four groups were orally administered vehicle alone (10% Captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 5.0), 100 mg / kg of the KRAS G12C inhibitor Compound 478 (10% Captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 5.0), 130 mg / kg of the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor Palbociclib (saline), or 100 mg / kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor Compound 478 and 130 mg / kg of Palbociclib daily for 21 days. Tumor volumes measured at prespecified days for five mice per group were averaged and are reported in Table 3. [Table 4]
[0134] As shown in Table 3, administration of compound 478 or palbociclib as single agents showed 85% and 65% tumor growth inhibition, respectively, at day 23. The combination of the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor palbociclib with compound 478 resulted in 56% tumor regression at day 23.
[0135] In a separate experiment, on day 0, 20 nude / nude mice were inoculated with 5 × 10 6 LU6405 cells were inoculated into the right hind leg. The tumor volume was approximately 350 mm 3When tumor volume reached 100 mg / kg (study day 1), five mice in each of the four groups were orally administered vehicle alone (10% Captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 5.0), 100 mg / kg of the KRAS G12C inhibitor Compound 478 (10% Captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer, pH 5.0), 130 mg / kg of the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor Palbociclib (saline), or 100 mg / kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor Compound 478 and 130 mg / kg of Palbociclib daily for 21 days. Tumor volumes measured on prespecified days for five mice per group were averaged and are reported in Table 4. [Table 5]
[0136] As shown in Table 4, administration of compound 478 resulted in 96% tumor growth inhibition at day 24. Combination of the CDK4 / 6 inhibitor palbociclib with compound 478 resulted in 77% tumor regression at day 24.
[0137] These results show that the combination therapy resulted in a greater amount of tumor growth inhibition compared to either single agent alone, indicating an enhanced in vivo antitumor effect of the combination against KRas G12C-expressing cancers.
