Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a combination therapy useful for treating cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to a therapeutically effective combination of a Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP-2) inhibitor and a KRas G12C inhibitor, a pharmaceutical composition containing the inhibitor, a kit containing the composition, and methods of using the same.
Background Art
[0002] Kirsten rat sarcoma 2 virus oncogene homolog (「KRas」) is a small GTPase and a member of the Ras family of oncogenes. KRas functions as a molecular switch that cycles between an inactive (GDP-bound) state and an active (GTP-bound) state to transmit upstream cell signals received from multiple tyrosine kinases to downstream effectors and regulate a variety of processes including cell proliferation (see, for example, Alamgeer et al., (2013) Current Opin Pharmcol. 13:394-401).
[0003] The role of active KRas in malignancy was observed over 30 years ago (see, e.g., Der et al., (1982) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 79(11):3637-3640). Aberrant expression of KRas accounts for up to 20% of all cancers, and oncogenic KRas mutations that stabilize GTP binding and result in 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 that result in missense mutations at codons 12 and 13 of the primary amino acid sequence of KRas constitute approximately 40% of these KRas driver mutations in lung adenocarcinoma, and the G12C transversion is the most frequently observed 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] Due to the well-known role of KRas in malignancy and the discovery of these frequent mutations of KRas in various tumor types, KRas has become a very attractive target in cancer therapy in the pharmaceutical industry. Despite 30 years of extensive discovery efforts to develop KRas inhibitors for treating 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, e.g., Sun et al., (2012) Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 51(25):6140-6143 doi:10.1002 / anie201201358), as well as those that target KRas G12C (see, e.g., Ostrem et al., (2013) Nature 503:548-551), remain highly desirable and are being investigated. Clearly, there remains an interest and ongoing attempts to develop inhibitors of KRas, particularly inhibitors of activated KRas variants including KRas G12C.
[0006] The KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein are potent inhibitors of KRas G12C enzyme activity and exhibit single-agent activity that inhibits the in vitro proliferation of cell lines having the KRas G12C mutation. However, the relative potency and / or the observed maximum effect of any given KRas G12C inhibitor can vary among KRAS mutant cell lines. The reasons for the range of potencies and the observed maximum effect(s) are not fully understood, but certain cell lines appear to have different inherent resistances. Accordingly, 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 aspect, the combination therapies of the invention synergistically increase the potency of KRas G12C inhibitors, resulting in improved efficacy of the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein. In another aspect, the combination therapies of the invention provide improved clinical benefit to patients as compared to treatment with the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein as a single agent.

Such amounts may be administered as a single dose or according to a dosing schedule, whereby the amounts are effective.
[0057] As used herein, "treatment" refers to any manner that alleviates or favorably changes the symptoms or conditions of a disease state, disorder, or disease. Treatment also encompasses any pharmaceutical use of the compositions herein.
[0058] As used herein, alleviation of the symptoms of a particular disorder by administration of a particular pharmaceutical composition refers to any reduction, whether permanent or temporary, continuous or transient, that may result from or be related to the administration of the composition.
[0059] As used herein, the term "about" when used to modify a numerically defined parameter (e.g., the dosage of a KRAS inhibitor or SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the length of treatment by the combination therapy described herein) means that the parameter can vary up to 10% above or below the numerical value recited for that parameter. For example, a dosage of about 5 mg / kg can vary between 4.5 mg / kg and 5.5 mg / kg. The "about" used at the beginning of a list of parameters means to modify each 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 compound In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of treating cancer in a subject in need of cancer treatment, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, in combination with a KRAS G12C inhibitor of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof.
[0061] 1. SHP-2 inhibitor Src homology 2 (SH2) domain-containing phosphatase 2 ("SHP-2") is a mammalian non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the PTPN11 gene that is involved in signal transduction via the Ras mitogen-activated protein kinase, JAK-STAT, or phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT-mTOR pathways. The SHP-2 polypeptide consists of two Src homology 2 (SH2) domains (N-SH2 and C-SH2) in the N-terminal region, as well as two potential Grb2 SH2 domain binding sites in the C-terminal region.
[0062] SHP-2 has been shown to exhibit a non-mutational drug resistance mechanism in response to anti-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). For example, increased SHP-2 phosphatase activity has been shown to confer resistance to the TKI inhibitor imatinib (see, e.g., Li et al., (2018) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 360-249-256). Addition of an SHP-2 inhibitor has been shown to overcome resistance by blocking both the RAF / MEK / ERK pathway and the PI3K / AKT / mTOR pathway. Furthermore, adaptive resistance leading to direct KRas G12C inhibition by reactivation of the MAPK pathway, and failure of inactivation of the PI3K / AKT / mTOR pathway, were overcome by dual inhibition including a PI3K inhibitor (see, e.g., Misale et al., Clin. Cancer Res., Online Publication doi:10.1158 / 1078-0432.CCR 18-0368). Considering that SHP-2 can regulate the PI3K / AKT / mTOR pathway, dual inhibition using SHP-2 may be able to overcome different intrinsic cellular adaptation and / or acquired resistance mechanisms leading to KRas G12C inhibition.
[0063] Several inhibitors that are active against SHP-2 have been developed. Exemplary SHP-2 inhibitors include, but are not limited to, SHP-099 (6-(4-amino-4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-3-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)pyrazine-2-amine dihydrochloride); RMC-4550 (3-((3S,4S)-4-amino-3-methyl-2-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-yl)-6-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)methanol), RMC-4630 (Revolution Medicine), and TNO155 (Novartis). RMC-4630 and TNO155 are in Phase 1 human clinical trials in adult patients with certain advanced solid tumors.
[0064] Methods for producing SHP-2 inhibitors are well known to those skilled in the art, and SHP-2 inhibitors can be obtained from a variety of commercial suppliers in forms suitable for both research and human use. In addition, SHP-2 inhibitors suitable for use in the compositions and methods disclosed herein, and methods for preparing such inhibitors, are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos.

Chemical formula
[0074] The KRas G12C inhibitor used in the method of the present invention may have one or more chiral centers and can be synthesized as a mixture of stereoisomers, isomers with different spatial arrangements of those atoms in the same configuration. The compounds can be used as a mixture or using commercially available reagents and conventional isolation methods for stereoisomers and enantiomers well known to those skilled in the art, for example, using CHIRALPAK® (Sigma - Aldrich) or CHIRALCEL® (Diacel Corp) chiral chromatographic HPLC columns, according to the manufacturer's instructions, the individual components / enantiomers can be separated. Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention can be synthesized using optically pure chiral reagents and intermediates for preparing individual enantiomers or diastereomers. Unless otherwise specified, all chiral (enantiomers and diastereomers) and racemic forms are within the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, whenever the specification including the claims refers to the compounds of the present invention, the term "compound" should be understood to encompass all chiral (enantiomers and diastereomers) and racemic forms.
[0075] In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of Formula I, Formula I - A, or Formula I - B used in the present method comprises the trifluoroacetate salt of the above - mentioned compound.
[0076] Methods for manufacturing the KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein are known. For example, the co-owned and published international PCT applications WO2017 / 201161 and WO2019 / 099524 describe general reaction schemes for preparing compounds of formula I, formula I-A, or formula I-B, and also provide detailed synthetic routes for the preparation of each KRas G12C inhibitor disclosed herein.
[0077] An SHP-2 inhibitor and a KRas G12C compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition.
[0078] Pharmaceutical composition In another aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a KRas G12C inhibitor according to the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or diluent that can be used in the methods disclosed herein. The SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can each be formulated by any method well known in the art and prepared for administration by any route including, but not limited to, parenteral, oral, sublingual, transdermal, topical, intranasal, intratracheal, or rectal. In certain embodiments, the SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are administered intravenously in a hospital setting. In one embodiment, the administration can be by the oral route.
[0079] The properties of the carrier will depend on the route of administration. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to materials that are compatible with living systems such as cells, cell cultures, tissues, or organisms and that do not interfere with the effectiveness of the biological activity of the active ingredient(s). Thus, the compositions can include, in addition to the inhibitor, diluents, fillers, salts, buffers, stabilizers, solubilizers, and other materials well known in the art. The preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable formulations is described, for example, in Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, ed. A. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1990.
[0080] As used herein, the term pharmaceutically acceptable salts refers to salts that retain the desired biological activity of the compounds identified above and exhibit minimal or no undesired toxicological effects. Examples of such salts include acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc.), as well as acids formed with organic acids 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, but are not limited thereto. The compounds can also be administered as pharmaceutically acceptable quaternary salts known to those skilled in the art, which particularly include quaternary ammonium salts of the formula -NR+Z−, where R is hydrogen, alkyl, or benzyl, and Z is a counterion, which includes chloride, bromide, iodide, -O-alkyl, toluenesulfonate, methylsulfonate, sulfonate, phosphate, or carboxylate (e.g., benzoate, succinate, acetate, glycolate, maleate, malate, citrate, tartrate, ascorbate, benzoate, cinnamate, mandelate, benzylorate, and diphenylacetate).
[0081] The active compound is contained in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver a therapeutically effective amount to the patient without causing serious toxic effects to the treated patient. In one embodiment, for all of the above conditions, the dosage of the active compound ranges from about 0.01 to 300 mg / kg per day, for example, in the range of 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. A typical topical dosage ranges from 0.01 to 3 weight / weight % in a suitable carrier. The effective dosage range of a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative can be calculated based on the weight of the parent compound being delivered. If the derivative is active by itself, the effective dosage can be estimated as described above using the weight of the derivative, or by other means known to those skilled in the art.
[0082] A pharmaceutical composition comprising an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof and a KRAS G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof can also be used in the methods of use described herein.
[0083] Co-administration The SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and the KRas G12C inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be formulated into separate or individual dosage forms that can be co-administered sequentially. Another option is that when the route of administration is the same (e.g., oral), the two active compounds can be formulated into a single form for co-administration, provided that both co-administration methods are part of the same therapeutic treatment or regimen.
[0084] For use in the present method, a pharmaceutical composition comprising an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and / or a KRAS G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be for simultaneous, separate, or sequential use. In one embodiment, the SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered prior to administration of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In another embodiment, the SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered after administration of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In another embodiment, the SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered substantially simultaneously with administration of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0085] Separate administration of each inhibitor at different times and by different routes can, in some cases, be advantageous. Thus, the components of the combination, namely, a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, do not necessarily have to be administered at essentially the same time or in any particular order.
[0086] Oncology drugs are administered at the maximum tolerated dose (the "MTD"), which is typically the highest dose of the drug that does not cause unacceptable side effects. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and the SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof are each administered at their respective MTDs. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof is administered at its MTD, and the SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof is administered in an amount less than its MTD. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof is administered in an amount less than its MTD, and the SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof is administered at its MTD. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and the SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof are each administered in an amount less than their respective MTDs. The administration can also be timed so that the peak pharmacodynamic effect of one compound coincides with the peak pharmacodynamic effect of the other.
[0087] In one embodiment, a single administration of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered once daily (i.e., at approximately 24-hour intervals) (i.e., once a day). In another embodiment, two administrations of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, are administered daily (i.e., twice a day). In another embodiment, three administrations of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, are administered daily (i.e., three times a day).
[0088] In one embodiment, the SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered once daily. In another embodiment, the SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered twice daily. In another embodiment, the SHP-2 inhibitor of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is administered three times daily.
[0089] In one embodiment, a single administration of a compound of a KRas G12C inhibitor of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and an SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is each administered once daily.
[0090] Examples of SHP-2 inhibitors suitable for the provided compositions and methods include, but are not limited to, SHP-099 (6-(4-amino-4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-3-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)pyrazine-2-amine dihydrochloride); RMC-4550 (3-((3S,4S)-4-amino-3-methyl-2-oxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane-8-yl)-6-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)methanol), RMC-4360, and TNO155 (Novartis).

In one embodiment, the cancer is a cancer associated with KRas G12C. In one embodiment, the cancer associated with KRas G12C is lung cancer.
[0092] In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a method for increasing the sensitivity of cancer cells to a KRas G12C inhibitor, the method comprising contacting the cancer cells with a combination of an effective amount of a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and an SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, wherein the SHP-2 inhibitor synergistically increases the sensitivity of the cancer cells to the KRas G12C inhibitor.

for example,It includes oral administration of an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof administered once daily (during a certain period). In one embodiment, a KRAS G12C inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is orally administered once daily. In one embodiment, a KRAS G12C inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is orally administered twice daily.,
[0106] One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the ability of a test compound combination or a given combination to treat or prevent a disorder can be predicted by both in vivo and in vitro tests using suitable known and generally acceptable cell and / or animal models.,
[0107] One of ordinary skill in the art will further understand that human clinical trials, including first-in-human trials, dose-range finding trials, and efficacy trials in healthy patients and / or patients suffering from a given disorder, can be completed according to methods well-known in the clinical and medical fields.,
[0108] Synergistic effect In one embodiment, the addition of an SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, synergistically increases the activity of a KRAS G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, against cancer or cancer cell lines expressing KRas G12C. Any method for determining whether two compounds exhibit a synergistic effect can be used to determine the synergistic effect of the combination.,
[0109] To determine whether two compounds act synergistically, i.e., act beyond mere additive effects, several mathematical models have been developed. For example, Loewe additivity (Loewe (1928) Physiol. 27:47 - 187), Bliss independence (Bliss (1939) Ann. Appl. Biol. 26:585 - 615), highest 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 models well - known in the pharmaceutical industry and can be used to calculate a "synergy score" indicating whether a synergistic effect was detected and the magnitude of such a synergistic effect. Combining these synergy scores generates a composite synergy score, which can be used to evaluate and characterize a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I - A, or formula I - B in combination with an SHP - 2 inhibitor.
[0110] Generally, a mathematical model uses data obtained from single - agent values to determine the predicted additive effect of a combination and compares it with the observed effect of the combination. If the observed effect is greater than the predicted effect, the combination is considered synergistic. For example, the Bliss independence model compares the observed combination response (Y O ) with the predicted combination response (Y P ) obtained based on the assumption that there is no interaction between drugs. When Y O is greater than Y P , typically, the combination effect shows synergy.
[0111] In some embodiments, as used herein, a "synergistic effect" refers to, for example, any of the beneficial or desired results including the clinical outcomes or endpoints described herein, an effect produced by a combination of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., a compound selected from compound numbers 1 to 678 (as numbered in WO2019 / 099524), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) and an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is greater than the sum of the effects observed when each is administered alone. In one embodiment, the KRas G12C inhibitor is a compound selected from compound numbers 1 to 678 (as numbered in WO2019 / 099524), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., Example number 234, 359, 478, or 507 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof). In one embodiment, the SHP-2 inhibitor is selected from SHP-099, RMC-4550, and TNO155. In one embodiment, the treatment combination includes a therapeutically effective amount of Example number 234 and SHP-099.

[0115] In some embodiments of any of the methods described herein, prior to treatment with the compositions or methods of the invention, the patient has been treated with one or more of chemotherapy, a targeted anti-cancer agent, radiation therapy, and surgery, and optionally, the prior treatment has failed, and / or the patient has had surgery, and optionally, the surgery has failed, and / or the patient has been treated with a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent, and optionally, the patient has previously been determined to be non-responsive to treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent, and / or the patient has been treated with a kinase inhibitor, and optionally, the prior treatment with the kinase inhibitor has failed, and / or the patient has been treated with one or more other therapeutic agents(s).
[0116] Kit The present invention also relates to a kit comprising an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and a KRAS G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof. A kit comprising an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and a KRAS G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, is also provided for use in the treatment of KRas G12C cancer.
[0117] In related aspects, the present invention provides a kit comprising a dose of an SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and a KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, in an amount effective to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, particularly cancer cells associated with KRas G12C, in a subject. The kit may optionally include an insert containing instructions for administration of the SHP-2 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, and the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof. The insert may provide the user with a set of instructions for using the SHP-2 inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof, in combination with the KRas G12C inhibitor compound of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or pharmaceutical composition thereof.
[0118] Example A The SHP-2 inhibitor synergistically increases the activity of the KRas G12C inhibitor against cell lines expressing KRas G12C. This example shows that the combination of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitor compounds of formula I, formula I-A, and formula I-B, and the SHP-2 inhibitor, synergistically inhibits the growth of tumor cell lines expressing KRas G12C.
[0119] To determine whether combining an SHP-2 inhibitor with the exemplary KRas G12C inhibitors disclosed herein results in synergistic activity, a panel of eight lung cancer and one colorectal cell lines with the KRas G12C mutation was assembled. The collection included NCI-H1373 (ATCC CRL-5866), NCI-H1792 (ATCC CRL-5895), NCI-H2030 (ATCC CRL-5985), NCI-H2122 (ATCC CRL-5985), HCC1171 (KCLB 71171), HCC44 (DSMZ ACC-534), LU99 (RCB1900), SW1573 (ATCC CRL-2170), and SW837 (ATCC CCL-235).
[0120] The assay for determining the synergistic effect score for each pair of cell lines was performed three times. To three 96-well plates for determining baseline luminescence and four additional wells of a separate 96-well control plate, a specific cell line at 2000 cells / well was seeded in a growth medium suitable for that cell line, e.g., RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, and a total of 90 μl of any cell line-specific reagents required for growth. The plates were incubated overnight at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere.
[0121] To each of the designated baseline wells, 30 μl of Cell-Titer Glo reagent (CTG; Promega Corporation) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 20 minutes with shaking at room temperature. Baseline luminescence was quantified using a BMG ClarioStar multimode plate reader according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0122] A series of working stock 1000X drug dilutions in 100% DMSO were prepared, including 8-point single-agent dilutions of the exemplary KRas G12C inhibitors of formula (I), formula I-A, and formula I-B and 5-point single-agent dilutions of the SHP-2 inhibitor. The dilutions used for the KRas G12C inhibitor and the SHP-2 inhibitor were different for each individual compound but were in the range of 3- to 6-fold / step dilutions.
[0123] Exemplary KRasG12C inhibitors tested in this example include the following. [Table 1]
[0124] The 10X intermediate dosing plates were prepared in serum-free RPMI medium containing arrayed single-dilutions of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitors or SHP-2 inhibitors of formula (I). Additionally, 40 matrix dilutions combinations of exemplary KRas G12C inhibitors of formula (I), formula I-A, or formula I-B and SHP-2 inhibitors were prepared as test samples.
[0125] To each corresponding well of three 96-well plates seeded with the appropriate cell line above, 10 μl of each 10X single agent and dose matrix 40 combination was added and the plates were incubated for 72 hours at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. 30 μl aliquots of Cell-Titer Glo reagent (CTG) were added to each test well and the plates were incubated for 20 minutes with shaking at room temperature, and luminescence was quantified using a BMG ClarioStar multimode plate reader according to the manufacturer's instructions.
[0126] Using raw data and metadata files as input files, the response rate for each treatment condition was calculated and analyzed using four independent mathematical reference models (Loewe additivity, Bliss independence, highest single agent, and ZIP) designed to determine whether two test compounds exhibit a synergistic effect.
[0127] The output of the data from each mathematical model is the assignment of a relative synergy score. The data reported in Table 1 is the sum of the Loewe additivity, Bliss independence, highest single agent, and ZIP scores (the "combined synergy score"). [Table 2]
[0128] Composite scores of 27 or above were interpreted as synergistic hits, while composite scores of 17 - 26 indicated potential synergy. These results show that certain members of a panel of KRas G12C cell lines exhibit modest synergy with a combination of an SHP-2 inhibitor and exemplary Formula (I), Formula I-A, and Formula I-B KRas G12C inhibitor compounds, warranting further investigation of combination efficacy studies in in vivo models.
[0129] Example B In Vivo Model for Investigating Combinations of KRas G12C Inhibitors and SHP-2 Inhibitors Cells with a KRas G12C mutation or patient-derived tumor samples are inoculated into the right hind limb flanks of immunodeficient nude / nude mice. When the tumor volume reaches a size of 200 - 400 mm 3 , the mice are divided into four groups of 5 - 12 mice each. The first group is administered vehicle only. The second group is administered a single-agent dose of a KRas G12C inhibitor at a concentration that produces a maximal or sub-maximal biological effect depending on the cell line and single-agent activity, which does not result in complete tumor regression. The third group is administered a single-agent dose of an SHP-2 inhibitor at a concentration that produces a maximal or sub-maximal biological effect depending on the cell line and single-agent activity, which does not result in complete tumor regression. The fourth group is administered a single-agent dose of a KRas G12C inhibitor in combination with a single-agent dose of an SHP-2 inhibitor. The treatment period varies by cell line but is typically 21 - 35 days. Tumor volume is measured using calipers every 2 - 3 days, and tumor volume is calculated using the formula: 0.5 × (length × width) 2 A greater degree of tumor growth inhibition by the combination in this model indicates that combination therapy is likely to provide a clinically significant benefit to the treatment subjects compared to treatment with the KRas G12C inhibitor alone.
[0130] For each study, 20 nude / nude mice are administered 5 × 10 6Individual SW1573 cells, KYSE410 cells, or H358 cells were inoculated into the right hind limb. When the tumor volume reached approximately 300 - 350 mm 3 (study day 0), five mice in each of the four groups were orally administered vehicle only (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)), 30 mg / kg of the SHP-2 inhibitor RMC-4550 (10% captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer (pH 5.0)), or 100 mg / kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound 478 and 30 mg / kg of RMC-4550 daily for 28 days. The tumor volumes measured at specific days for five mice per group were averaged and reported in Tables 2, 3, and 4 for SW1573 cells, KYSE410 cells, and H358 cells, respectively.
Table 3
[0131] As shown in Table 2, administration of compound 478 or RMC-4550 as single agents showed 81% and 68% tumor growth inhibition, respectively, on day 22. The combination of the SHP-2 inhibitor RMC-4550 and compound 478 resulted in 23% tumor regression on day 22.
Table 4
[0132] As shown in Table 3, administration of compound 478 or RMC-4550 as single agents showed 93% and 90% tumor growth inhibition, respectively, on day 22. The combination of the SHP-2 inhibitor RMC-4550 and compound 478 resulted in 78% tumor regression on day 22.
Table 5
[0133] As shown in Table 4, administration of compound 478 or RMC-4550 as a single agent showed 68% regression and 22% tumor growth inhibition on day 22, respectively. The combination of the SHP-2 inhibitor RMC-4550 and compound 478 resulted in 81% tumor regression on day 22.
[0134] Similarly, 25 nude / nude mice were inoculated with 5×10 6 cells of H2122 in the right hind limb. When the tumor volume reached approximately 350 mm 3 (study day 0), five mice in each of the five groups were orally administered vehicle only (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)), 30 mg / kg of the SHP-2 inhibitor RMC-4550 (10% captisol in 50 mM citrate buffer (pH 5.0)), 100 mg / kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound 478 and 30 mg / kg of RMC-4550 for 21 days, or 100 mg / kg of the KRas G12C inhibitor compound 478 daily for 16 days, and at this point, the administration of compound 478 was continued for an additional 13 days with co-administration of 30 mg / kg of RMC-4550 (separation group). The tumor volumes measured at specific days for five mice per group were averaged and reported in Table 5.
Table 6
[0135] As shown in Table 5, administration of compound 478 or RMC-4550 as a single agent showed 93% and 47% tumor growth inhibition on day 29, respectively. The combination of the SHP-2 inhibitor RMC-4550 and compound 478 resulted in 29% tumor regression on day 29.
[0136] These results indicate that combination therapy resulted in a greater amount of tumor growth inhibition compared to either single agent alone, demonstrating an enhanced in vivo antitumor effect of the combination against cancers expressing KRas G12C.
